[19:28] <CbIP> Hi all! Guys, I have a problem: all browsers work much slower (min. 2 times) in Ubuntu 10.04 than in Windows. The pages are loaded fast, but it looks like the browser cannot resolve DNS for 5-30 sec. before loading. IP v6 is disabled. How to fix it?
[19:28] <Zela> Hi My sound when out for no reason, how do i fix this?
[19:28] <Ganzonet> ok, thanks everyone, ill try the 64bit version which i have already download, if i got any issue ill try the other one
[19:28] <erUSUL> !ipv6 | CbIP
[19:28] <mkquist> Ganzonet: enjoy
[19:28] <Ganzonet> thanks
[19:28] <tensorpudding> It seems to me that the "not recommended" disclaimer is to prevent people with 32-bit processors from downloading it and having issues.
[19:28] <BlT> Ganzonet: have fun!
[19:29] <Ganzonet> thanks :_)
[19:29] <CbIP> thx, I'll read
[19:29] <apetrunk> i think i have a fairly quick question. i have an hp tx2510us tablet and the touchscreen isnt calibrated correctly. the stylus is off a little bit, but not enough to matter. is there a download somewhere that i can run to calibrate it?
[19:29] <thehizz> apelgate: can't restart because have other things that need to remain running
[19:30] <apetrunk> ahh
[19:30] <tensorpudding> 32-bit will probably become deprecated eventually
[19:31] <theoctagon> tensorpudding: yes when adobe releases flash for 64 bit ;) or html5 is spread widely :P
[19:31] <lnl> How to reply somebody?
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> tensorpudding: when it gets stupendous support then yes :)
[19:31] <erUSUL> !who | lnl
[19:31] <tensorpudding> Flash works fine for 64bit.
[19:31] <dness> anyone know where nlockmgr config for NFS is located on ubuntu 9.04? need to set a static port... all the tuts say add it modconfig, but modprobe lockd turns up nothing for me
[19:32] <theoctagon> tensorpudding: it works but I wouldn't sign the "fine"
[19:32] <tensorpudding> And HTML5 <video> is supported by Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE 9.
[19:32] <Ganzonet> i forgot something, how much memory does ubuntu usually eat when the system is booted?
[19:32] <theoctagon> tensorpudding: e.g. the eurosport.de tour de france liveticker doesn't show in firefox - in google chrome it does
[19:33] <tensorpudding> Does Ubuntu still support PPC?
[19:33] <erUSUL> !ppc | tensorpudding
[19:33] <dness> anyone running NFS on ubuntu 9.04? do you have the lockd module?
[19:33] <theoctagon> tensorpudding: think so - had karmic on a ibook g3 not long ago
[19:33] <tensorpudding> Ah, community supported.
[19:33] <lnl> just click their nickname and click 'open a dialog window'?
[19:33] <linxeh> dness: you have to install it separately iirc
[19:34] <erUSUL> dness: find /lib/modules/ -name '*lockd*'
[19:34] <linxeh> dness: maybe I'm wrong (I'm not on that release though anymore)
[19:34] <erUSUL> dness: in lucid it is present
[19:34] <dness> hmm, i have nfs-common installed, and rpcinfo -p shows nlockmgr running... just on the wrong port
[19:34] <dness> ok thanks
[19:34] <dness> dang, no dice
[19:35] <dness> it must be running somewhere, i just can't find out where
[19:35] <bourke> hi, my panel icons are completely fubar'ed.  the notification area applet has no icons (nm-applet, volume etc), while indicator applet has only messaging, battery and volume.  how can I get it back to default?
[19:35] <theoctagon> I love this command:
[19:35] <theoctagon> for i in `du --max-depth=1 $HOME | sort -n -r | awk '{print $1 ":" $2}'`; do size=`echo $i | awk -F: '{print $1}'`; dir=`echo $i | awk -F: '{print $NF}'`; size2=$(($size/1024)); echo "$size2 MB used by $dir"; done | head -n 10
[19:35] <theoctagon> :)
[19:36] <FloodBot3> theoctagon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:36] <dness> 100021    1   tcp  51848  nlockmgr
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> bourke: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[19:37] <racethesunlive> I have ubuntu set up just right on my HDD and its under 8GB, would it be simple to move my current setup to a bootable USB stick?
[19:37] <lnl> yesterday, my first time use linux, I have many problem in using it, but today, I have felt the power of linux is strong!
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> racethesunlive: i'd try using dd
[19:37] <bourke> ActionParsnip: thanks, helped a little, but the notification area applet is still totally empty :/
[19:37] <dness> SNAP! I can see lockd running in ps -ef
[19:37] <lnl> I start loving it
[19:37] <dness> but no modprobe... wtf
[19:37] <theoctagon> lnl: you have been assimilated
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> bourke: you have to run the applets in there I believe, to make them appear. What are you missing?
[19:37] <om26er> dness, watch the language please
[19:37] <dbugger> hey guys. I've set up a website in my machine running Lucid Desktop, and I've got it sending newsletters and everything, but the mails arent being delivered. Im guessing I need to activate some kind of mail service. How can I do this?
[19:38] <_jesse_> lnl: :)
[19:38] <erUSUL> dness: modprobe will say nothing it it succeed or if thwe module is already loaded
[19:38] <monkey_dust> lnl, resistance was futile
[19:38] <erUSUL> if it*
[19:38] <dness> FATAL: Module lockd not found.
[19:38] <theoctagon> monkey_dust: :)
[19:38] <bourke> ActionParsnip: well, nm-applet is running but there's no icon for that. also, I used to have empathy set up somehow to have it's own icon (I don't like the messanging thing, but for some reason it's all gone back to the indicator applet now)
[19:38] <theoctagon> dbugger: well I think postfix is what you want
[19:38] <racethesunlive> dbugger: do you have sendmail set up on the machine?
[19:39] <erUSUL> !find lockd
[19:39] <erUSUL> !find lockd.ko
[19:39] <avis> i think nicotine is even better when you reset your username and allow it to reset it to defaults.  its not a backport, and your geolocation laws apply
[19:39] <LucidGuy> After deleting a local account and blowing away their home directory .. the Lucid Ubuntu login screen still shows them on the list.  Any ideas how to clear?
[19:39] <dbugger> dbugger: I don't think I do, since I dont know what that is :(
[19:39] <erUSUL> !find lockd.ko jaunty
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> bourke: kill nm-applet off then rerun it, may help
[19:39] <erUSUL> dness: ^
[19:39] <dness> hm, is it compild in the kernel then?
[19:39] <dbugger> theoctagon, I dont know. I rally dont know anything about this
[19:39] <dbugger> racethesunlive, I dont know what that is, so im guessing no :(
[19:39] <monkey_dust> LucidGuy, maybe the name is still in /etc/passwd and or /etc/sudoers?
[19:40] <racethesunlive> dbugger: sendmail is the command usually used in .php type scripts to send mail
[19:40] <theoctagon> dbugger: to send mails you need a mailserver. The package name of a commonly used mailserver is postfix
[19:40] <Zela> Hi My sound when out for no reason, how do i fix this?
[19:40] <NCS_One> hi
[19:40] <erUSUL> dness: no; if " find /lib/modules/ -name '*lockd*' " tunrs out no result is becouse you somehow removed it ...
[19:40] <monkey_dust> LucidGuy, and ot /etc/shadow
[19:40] <LucidGuy> monkey_dust,  not in passwd .. not in /etc/sudouers
[19:40] <dbugger> racethesunlive, theoctagon so what do I use? postfix or sendmail?
[19:40] <BlT> LucidGuy: did you use the gui tool for removing the user?
[19:40] <LucidGuy> will check shadow
[19:40] <theoctagon> dbugger: postfix - sendmail is a mess :)
[19:40] <LucidGuy> BlT, no  userdel
[19:41] <dness> i dont know how i would have removed it
[19:41] <dbugger> theoctagon, Could you walk me  through the process, please?
[19:41] <erUSUL> dness: reinstall the kernel packages
[19:41] <BlT> LucidGuy: hmm, odd. that usually removes from both /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow by default I thought
[19:41] <dness> i reinstalled nfs-kernel-server and nfs-common
[19:41] <theoctagon> dbugger: google "postfix ubuntu howto"
[19:41] <dness> is that what you mean?
[19:41] <bourke> ActionParsnip: thanks a lot for the help, still no luck though.. is there a way I can just completely disable the indicator applet and use the traditional notification area for everything?
[19:41] <erUSUL> dness: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r)
[19:41] <dbugger> theoctagon, thanks
[19:41] <NCS_One> I have Lazarus installed using synaptic, is it ok if I know install a newer version of Lazarus to a dir of my choice ?
[19:41] <theoctagon> dbugger: will be the faster way
[19:42] <LucidGuy> BlT, It did .. they dont exist in either ... thats the puzzling thing.
[19:42] <dness> oh
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> bourke: not sure dude. I dont use things like that
[19:42] <NCS_One> s/know/now/g
[19:42] <dness> well, this is on a live webserver.. :(
[19:42] <bourke> ActionParsnip: no worries. thanks anyway
[19:42] <dness> i will try
[19:42] <BlT> LucidGuy: hmm, I'm replecating this now to see =)

[19:44] <BlT> LucidGuy: very odd.  after making a test user I then removed it via "userdel" did a grep in /etc/* for that user and the only file that had it was passwd- . then I went to the gui tool, and all I see if my default user (me). No test user

[20:03] <theoctagon> owner: give it a try without it maybe?
[20:03] <owner> theoctagon what is the --fs-uid
[20:04] <bandeira> is it possible to channge my ubuntu language wo uninstalling?

[20:04] <ActionParsnip> bah
[20:04] <owner> without --fs-uuid --set 1dcbdc400626b607
[20:04] <Stephan__> sick, now i'm an ueber-dork :)
[20:04] <theoctagon> owner: I assume it is the uuid of the windows disk/file system but I don't really know - anyone else maybe?
[20:04] <theoctagon> owner: yepp
[20:05] <owner> ok I'll delete that
[20:05] <owner> I'll reboot and give it a try
[20:05] <theoctagon> owner: it can't get worse than no entry :P
[20:05] <owner> I could find my disk's uuid
[20:05] <owner> I think it's stamped on it
[20:05] <mahioo> ActionParsnip, i'm sorry i quit the chat now perhaps i will be back ..
[20:05] <Scunizi> I'm having issues with my network card coming up in a timely fashion.. This is on a desktop hard wired to router.  Looks like it comes up then disconnects then comes up again.. I"m also using wicd to make it easier to set a static IP address. http://pastebin.com/g0ZJDK5y
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> You can set teh uuid on a filesystem with the tune2fs command
[20:05] <justin_> how do u make the virticle lines on the key board im just going to put it in manuely into turminal
[20:05] <theoctagon> owner: that might be an option
[20:06] <bp0> is there any thing that will put the time and weather on the password screen?
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> justin_:  you mean the | | |  character?
[20:06] <justin_> yea that on
[20:06] <Scunizi> justin_: above the enter key.. shift \
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> justin_:  its a key here :)
[20:06] <justin_> k thanks
[20:06] <Mubuntu> Can somebody help with grub install? I lost the ubuntu boot option after installing windows.
[20:07] <Scunizi> !grub2 > Mubuntu
[20:07] <owner> I'm installing quickbooks pro 2009 right now though so it will have to wait
[20:08] <theoctagon> owner: what's quickbook pro?
[20:09] <Scunizi> theoctagon: windows based financial tracking package for businesses
[20:09] <owner> theoctagon an accountant's program
[20:09] <owner> for taxes
[20:09] <cablop> mmm i think a 6GB swap for a 2GB computer is mmm exaggerated? am i right?
[20:10] <bleything> so I've tried to add a user to a group both by using usermod -Ga <group> <user>, and by editing /etc/group by hand, and in both cases the user is not a member of the group when I log back in... am I missing something?
[20:10] <theoctagon> owner: ah - ok  - learned sth. again :)
[20:10] <fablinix> cablop: 3 gb should probably suffice
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> cablop: my / is 3Gb used.
[20:11] <cablop> mmm i just want to be able to hibernate with ease... but i think i exaggerated by mistake
[20:11] <Scunizi> !pm > Mubuntu - sorry can't help any further.. someone else may pick it up
[20:12] <BlT> bleything:  sudo usermod -G "newgroup" "user" didn't work?
[20:12] <jongleur> good evening.
[20:13] <bleything> BlT: that's what I said, yeah.
[20:13] <BlT> bleything: you also said -Ga, try it without the -a
[20:13] <justin_> no such file or directory im trying to send empty file
[20:13] <justin_> ???
[20:13] <bleything> BlT: without the a it will wipe out my existing group memberships
[20:13] <BlT> bleything: I just verified here that the -G option works
[20:14] <Mubuntu> What do I do with this message? >>  root@ubuntu:~# grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda9
[20:14] <Mubuntu>  /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR.  This is a BAD idea..
[20:14] <Mubuntu>  /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged..
[20:14] <Mubuntu>  /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: if you really want blocklists, use --force.
[20:14] <BlT> bleything: on a test group.
[20:14] <FloodBot3> Mubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:14] <BlT> bleything: not on a full member group. don't want to break anything
[20:14] <ManDay> Is there a way to find all packages which are installed on a system but are only installed for being recommented or suggested by another package (and have not explicitly been selected for installation) or is the information about the reason WHY a package has been installed discarded after install and no way to determine it a posterior?
[20:14] <jongleur> I installed ubuntu 10.04 at this Eee 1101HA seashell today from scratch and run into a problem I don't have a solution at current: Most processes are at waiting channel poll_schedule_timeout. Any ideas?
[20:15] <justin_> action what was it soposed to do
[20:15] <racethesunlive> Mubuntu: its saying you should install it on /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda9
[20:15] <justin_> or what did u need off what it gave me
[20:15] <bleything> BlT: according to the manpage, if you use -G, it will remove you from any group that you don't list
[20:15] <Mubuntu> Sorry, Floodbot3. I am first time here and don't know what you meant. Please explain. I did not mean to "flood".
[20:15] <bleything> BlT: regardless, though, it still didnt' work.
[20:15] <BlT> bleything: odd.
[20:15] <ManDay> Why can I not scroll a centimeter in xpdf on the most simple documents whithout the mouse pointer turning into a sandclock and it taking at least 2 seconds for the document to scroll?!?
[20:16] <ManDay> (it NOT Continous mode!!=
[20:16] <ManDay> )
[20:16] <bleything> BlT: the annoying thing is that I can see my user in /etc/group for the correct group, it just doesn't appear to have taken.
[20:16] <theoctagon> ManDay: give a try to "okular" :)
[20:16] <BlT> bleything:  does "id" when typed show it as correct?
[20:16] <theoctagon> bleything: what does the groups command say for that user?
[20:16] <ManDay> theoctagon: what?
[20:17] <theoctagon> ManDay: an alternative to xpdf - a lot better
[20:17] <justin_> ok so i finaly put that comand into the terminal what did u guys need to know
[20:17] <bleything> BlT, theoctagon: well, I rebooted the server and now I'm in the group I wanted...
[20:17] <ManDay> theoctagon: ok thanks, i hope its not bloated like evince?!
[20:17] <bleything> BlT: but, like I said, using -G without -a did remove me from all my other groups.
[20:17] <ManDay> and offers configuration!?
[20:17] <theoctagon> bleything: that doesn't make sense
[20:18] <bleything> theoctagon: I know.
[20:18] <BlT> bleything: odd. and I did use the -G option and my user wasn't removed from any groups it belonged to. so maybe the man page is out of date
[20:18] <theoctagon> ManDay: it depends on what you want to configure
[20:18] <bleything> BlT: I don't think so.  that's the way usermod has always worked... and that's how it just worked for me.
[20:18] <BlT> bleything: hmm yeah, idk
[20:19] <bleything> and of course now I can't sudo.
[20:19] <bleything> BlT: so yeah, don't use -G without -a.
[20:19] <ManDay> theoctagon: it sounds kinda bloated from its description - is really an alternative to xpdf?
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. I just did a md5sum on my 'shipit' cd i got from ubuntu. and it dosent seem to match the md5sum at  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes    Could i be doing somthing wrong. or is their site wrong?
[20:19] <ManDay> theoctagon: lol it requires KDE - no way
[20:19] <theoctagon> ManDay: your call :)
[20:19] <ManDay> Why can I not scroll a centimeter in xpdf on the most simple documents whithout the mouse pointer turning into a sandclock and it taking at least 2 seconds for the document to scroll?!?
[20:20] <BlT> bleything: I'm reading the manpage now, and I don't see where it says -G removes you from any groups.
[20:20] <brennen> ManDay - maybe you're asking it too often.
[20:20] <Mubuntu> Is this the right place for me to come and chat with Ubuntu users who are helpful enough to chat a bit? I get people giving a one-liner and when I responded, they seem to just ignore.
[20:20] <erUSUL> !ot | Mubuntu
[20:20] <bleything> BlT: https://gist.github.com/349ea3acfbcc59bfc643 lines 5 and 6
[20:21] <thune3> Dr_Willis: does a search on the calculated md5sum return anything?
[20:21] <BlT> bleything: man 8 usermod states: A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member of.
[20:21] <yessir_turan> Hi.. is it possible to have a one-time password for ubuntu login..
[20:21] <yessir_turan> e.g. i want to generate a noe time password.. email it to myself.. check it up on my cellphone.. and login using that..
[20:21] <Mubuntu> I am asking about reinstalling grub2. Was that not relevant here?
[20:21] <bleything> BlT: 10.04?
[20:21] <BlT> bleything: yup
[20:21] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: sound pretty paranoid
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> thune3:  checking other places for the md5sums now..
[20:22] <sanjoy> i just install a soft bt cant find it in application
[20:22] <bleything> BlT: server?
[20:22] <BlT> bleything:  naw, desktop. I get what your saying, and it makes sense... just not happening here for me or the 2 test users I created
[20:22] <yessir_turan> theoctagon: :P
[20:22] <Mubuntu> Being first time on this chat, I would appreciate some help on how to use this chat and of course, I came here to get help for Ubuntu as a newbie.
[20:22] <justin_> any ideas what was needed out of my terminal
[20:23] <jongleur> did anybody read my question? or am i ignored here? (no, I'm not angry in any kind - sorry for asking, but there was no response yet)
[20:23] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: you could write a script that uses mcookie and sets this as password and set the script as login shell - but then you are stuck in a endless loop
[20:23] <BlT> bleything: imho, the -G and removing u from other non listed groups is dumb.
[20:23] <theoctagon> :)
[20:23] <gionnico> anyone knows this song? i played with organ :) have fun http://www.forzazzurri.mine.nu/data/uploaded/unksng_organ.mp3
[20:23] <bleything> BlT: yeah, I agree.  but it doesn't change the fact that it does, and I have now shot myself in the foot :)  but that's alright.
[20:23] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: find a way to break that loop and you're good to go :P
[20:23] <fablinix> Mubuntu: did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 ?
[20:23] <racethesunlive> Mubuntu: i would help you I'm just too busy for an in depth Q&A at the moment
[20:23] <BlT> bleything: I never really use usermod anyway.  I hand edit most everything =)
[20:24] <BlT> bleything: =)
[20:24] <wizard_> can someone please help me with a VBS script I get the error message does not support oIE navigate2
[20:24] <bleything> BlT: yeah, I do too... but that wasn't working.  apparently I needed to reboot, which is super lame.  I wonder if that's a server thing, or something messed up on my box
[20:24] <sanjoy> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[20:24] <sanjoy>  what does it mean??
[20:24] <wizard_> script is as follows
[20:24] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: woul be an advanced version of /bin/passwd as login shell :P
[20:24] <BlT> bleything: hmm, that's a good question. have you asked in #ubuntu-server?
[20:25] <bleything> BlT: nope, didn't know that existed.  I'll go over there now.  thanks!
[20:25] <BlT> bleything: anytime =)
[20:25] <wizard_> Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
[20:25] <wizard_> Set cItems = oWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * From Win32_DisplayConfiguration")
[20:25] <wizard_> For Each oItem in cItems
[20:25] <wizard_> iHoriz = oItem.PelsWidth
[20:25] <wizard_> iVert = oItem.PelsHeight
[20:25] <FloodBot3> wizard_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:25] <wizard_> Next
[20:25] <BlT> !paste | wizard_
[20:25] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: you could delay the effect of your mcooky login skript to multiple logins - than you only have a race condition :P
[20:25] <FabParma> how to build a compact version of Ubuntu? I'd like to create a cd with only the minimal Gnome w/o any kind of apps, the only that I'd insert are the configuration one (network, video etc)
[20:26] <Jordan_U> wizard_: This is #ubuntu, I think you want ##windows.
[20:26] <yessir_turan> theoctagon: :) Nice..  I think I got an idea.. It follows:
[20:26] <karlo> is there any list of (sudo apt-get install) programs ?
[20:26] <Jordan_U> !remaster | FabParma
[20:26] <BlT> karlo: the software center has a huge list
[20:26] <karlo> ty
[20:27] <BlT> karlo: from the cli you can use "sudo apt-cache search "keywords" =)
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> thune3: even weirder. torrent client verified it as being ok.. but the md5sums are not matching from /dev/cdrom or from the iso file. with what i see on 2 different ubuntu sites.
[20:27] <karlo> ok
[20:28] <FabParma> ubottu: the that tool can I mahe an installable version or only live?
[20:28] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: Try googling the md5sum, since they're unique if your CD is intact there will surely be a match :)
[20:28] <yessir_turan> theoctagon: I create a binary.. that acts as my shell.. check if I'm connected to an X session, if so, spawn bash.
[20:28] <shingalated> can anyone recommend a good CLI application to put mp3s into folders by artist according to ID3 tag info?
[20:29] <thune3> Dr_Willis: i can only think that the shipit cd has some extra zero padding at the end, causing the mismatch.
[20:29] <BlT> shingalated: perl?
[20:29] <yessir_turan> if not, send an email to me with mcookie generated password and waits for it.. and lets me login and spawns bash.. otherwise does it again.. how does that sound.. ?
[20:29] <yessir_turan> theoctagon: flaws..?
[20:29] <Dr_Willis> thune3:  yea.  may of been when i dd'd it..  the other iso's i downloaded to match.
[20:29] <Jordan_U> yessir_turan: Insecure.
[20:29] <shingalated> @BlT I should add easy as well...
[20:29] <Dr_Willis> thune3:  well i will red5sum the torrent one now. :)
[20:29] <justin_> any one good with skype?
[20:29] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: I don't get the "check if connected to x session"
[20:30] <yessir_turan> Jordan_U: How.. please explain.. ?
[20:30] <BlT> shingalated: =), yea I don't know of any. google might help, ubuntu forums?
[20:30] <Neurotiquette> Anyone successfully installed dropbox on ubuntu? The download freezes at 20, 21, or 22% for me every single damned time. No error message... just no progress. I close the app, restart... it progresses to 20% and the same thing.
[20:30] <yessir_turan> theoctagon: Neither do I :P. Was hoping there might be something to it.. Let me look/cook something up..
[20:30] <FoolsRun> I have a ridiculous question: Is it possible to export in some visual way the Ubuntu Applicaions/Places/System menu?  I'm setting up an LTSP server and the client wants to see "all the programs"
[20:31] <BlT> Neurotiquette:  installing dropbox now.
[20:32] <vake> Hey, I just installed ubuntu, is there anything I should do now? I already went through all the system options...
[20:32] <theoctagon> Has anyone got google earth up and running on ubuntu lucid 64bit? not the one from the repo?
[20:32] <theoctagon> it segfaults every time
[20:33] <theoctagon> and the repo version doesn't read $http_proxy in my case
[20:33] <BlT> Neurotiquette: ok dropbox installation is running... past 23% so far
[20:33] <justin_> vake congrats one the download and welcome
[20:33] <BlT> Neurotiquette: 38%
[20:33] <vake> thanks, so should i do/install anyhting now?
[20:34] <BlT> Neurotiquette: past 70%
[20:34] <Neurotiquette> BlT: What the hell am I doing differently? LOL. I'm running latest stable release of ubuntu. I installed it via aptitude install nautilus-dropbox
[20:34] <Jordan_U> yessir_turan: To do this right you'll need to hook into PAM, and it won't be easy. Messing with basic security, especially when you're not a security or programming expert, is a recipe for disaster.
[20:34] <justin_> look through the ubuntu software center
[20:34] <Neurotiquette> BlT: Is it my router? DO I need to open some obscure port?
[20:34] <justin_> im sure you will find stuff to try out
[20:35] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: but also fun :)
[20:35] <BlT> Neurotiquette: ah... I downloaded it from thier site, then ran it from within gnome by double-clicking
[20:35] <fablinix> vake: installing ubuntu-restricted-extras is a must for me, you can find it in the software center
[20:35] <yessir_turan> Jordan_U: I'm up against script kiddies..
[20:35] <karlo> is there any command in terminal as tree on windows (cmd) ?
[20:35] <ayyala> i have a question regarding Compiz
[20:35] <yessir_turan> The best they can do is use a keylogger...
[20:35] <yessir_turan> karlo: tree is on linux too....
[20:36] <cheapie> Ayyala: what's your question?
[20:36] <a_bug> hi guys, I have a Western digital 1 tb hard disk with 32 mb cache. But hdparm -i /dev/sda1 is showing BufSize as 0kb instead of 32MB
[20:36] <Neurotiquette> BlT: OK, so you haven't run the package just yet?
[20:36] <a_bug> is there a way to set the buffer size ?
[20:36] <justin_> vake pidgen if u like messengers
[20:36] <kull> yessir_turan: how do you know it's script kiddies and not somone with actual knowledge?  How can you say its just some random hacker with access to scripts and tutorials as opposed to a real cracker?
[20:36] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: well another idea - you could write a program that generates a mcookie and mails it and then waits forever for input
[20:36] <BlT> Neurotiquette: yes. I'm done. logged into dropbox, have shortcuts on my desktop...
[20:36] <vake> fablinix a lot of stuff in there, ill look through it
[20:36] <vake> justin_ i already have pidgin :)
[20:36] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: than use this as shell
[20:37] <BlT> Neurotiquette: have you tried just downloading the *.dep package from dropbx.com/downloading
[20:37] <BlT> *.deb
[20:37] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: you just have to handle the case that the new shell knows that the mcookie has already been sent
[20:37] <yessir_turan> kull: Its my friends :P
[20:37] <Neurotiquette> BlT: Yeah... I'm trying running the package and a "reinstall" again. The problem begins with their bs proprietary download stuff.
[20:37] <FoolsRun> Anyone know if you can somehow export a list of the Ubuntu Applications/Places/System menu to a file for review?
[20:37] <yessir_turan> kull: Always on the lookout to get into my computer...
[20:38] <justin_> vake vuze, digicam,vlc medea player
[20:38] <BlT> Neurotiquette: yea, that seemed to run just fine for me. Maybe a fast reboot or relogon to gnome?
[20:38] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: therefor you could use a file to remember if cookie is sent or not if sent prompt for input else send new cookie
[20:38] <justin_> open shoot if u like making movies
[20:38] <Jordan_U> !clone | FoolsRun
[20:39] <Neurotiquette> BlT: Going to just try the reinstall, then email support I guess. You gave me some good feedback though, since I know it's worked for at least one other person running the same OS ;-) hehe
[20:39] <Neurotiquette> BlT: Thanks.
[20:39] <BlT> Neurotiquette: =) np man. Good luck
[20:39] <falafell> is there any way to realy play windows games on ubuntu? except for wine wich just runs bad and low fps and all trouble...
[20:39] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: how does that sound?
[20:39] <racethesunlive> falafell: wine does alright if you have the nvidia drivers installed
[20:39] <FoolsRun> Jordan_U: close, but I just need what's in the menu. I have a client who wants to see, on a printed piece of paper, what items are in the menu. It's a weird request, I know.
[20:40] <falafell> racethesunlive, i have.. but still the fps is nowhere near of that in win
[20:40] <yessir_turan> theoctagon: its sounds good... but I don't understand one thing.. How do I actually spawn that mcookie shell without using my password.. ?
[20:40] <falafell> i still have to duelboot now i wish to get rid of it completely
[20:40] <theoctagon> FoolsRun: screenshots and gimp?
[20:40] <tux_> hi @ all
[20:40] <yessir_turan> I want to have a main password.. that protects my X
[20:40] <FoolsRun> theoctagon: ugh. Yeah.
[20:41] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: this is what your selfmade shell has to handle
[20:41] <vake> I have a problem running code::blocks. When I enter codeblocks in the terminal after installing it from the software center it say this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.org/411078
[20:41] <marks256> i'm trying to change dhcpd's log file. i need to add local7.* /var/loc/dhcpd.log to syslog.conf, but i can't find it. apparently i need to use rsyslog. I have no idea how to use it, as it's a diffy format
[20:42] <yessir_turan> theoctagon: I give up :P
[20:42] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: why?
[20:42] <yessir_turan> I'm killing my friends.. that seems easiest...
[20:42] <yessir_turan> :P
[20:42] <yessir_turan> Because I cannot let my X unprotected..
[20:43] <asparagui> hallo
[20:43] <yessir_turan> And I cannot find a way of not using the master password for ssh login, and using it only for X
[20:43] <asparagui> i hosed my partition table
[20:43] <asparagui> is there a lazy way to restore it?
[20:43] <fablinix> vake: first; if you haven't enable the pidgin plugin join/part hiding, do that and you wont see all the joins and leaves in this channel (can be quite annoying), second; did you install C::B through software center?
[20:43] <Jordan_U> asparagui: testdisk
[20:43] <karlo> is there any ftp ubuntu main page ?
[20:44] <justin_> so an ideas why i can not play flash games?
[20:44] <BlT> karlo: ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com
[20:44] <FabParma> ubottu:  sorry, a thing that i cant understand.. once made the Ubuntu remix, it is a live install right?  how can i install it on the hard disk to obtain a normal installation?
[20:45] <vake> im using irssi, at first i downloaded it from their website and installed it manually. This gave the same error. Then i unstalled it through the software center and reinstalled it through the software center. fablinix
[20:45] <racethesunlive> justin_: maybe try using a different browser?
 did you install flash player
[20:45] <yessir_turan> FabParma: there is option in that..
[20:45] <yessir_turan> FabParma: Its like both..
[20:45] <thune3> marks256: i *think* rsyslog uses /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf or /usr/share/rsyslog/50-default.conf (i'm not sure which!), but it has syslog like syntax.
[20:45] <justin_> all the ones i can yes
[20:46] <justin_> flash 10 isnt available for 10.4 yet
[20:46] <theoctagon> yessir_turan: you won't get that without sticking to pam
[20:46] <kull> vake: always install software using the software center, unless you _need_ more uptodate and not broken packages.  Ubuntu leaves many packages broken until their next release, unlike rolling release distros.
[20:47] <kull> justin_: to get flash, visit the adobe site and download it.  Not hard, but you'll have to download an old version if you use 64bit.
[20:47] <justin_> ok kull ill try it right now
[20:47] <theoctagon> kull: 10.1 is working
[20:48] <theoctagon> kull: but you also got to do all this wrapper stuff
[20:48] <thune3> justin_: go through repos
[20:48] <justin_> how do i know what one to instull
[20:48] <justin_> repos?
[20:48] <kull> theoctagon: adobe did NOT release a new flash version because it has some MAJOR security flaws.  If you have 64bit flash, you MUST use an older version or suffer from security holes.
[20:48] <theoctagon> kull: or wrap the 32 bit version
[20:48] <kull> justin_: on the adobe site just download the .deb or ubuntu package
[20:48] <vake> fablinix, kull, so what do i have to do now? I did google the problem, but didnt find an answer i understand, or that worked.
[20:48] <FabParma> yessir_turan: so, at the boot time i choose if i want to start a regular installation on the hard drive or if i want use it as live distro?
[20:48] <kull> theoctagon: yes, but that's also buggy.
[20:49] <theoctagon> kull: sad but true
[20:49] <yessir_turan> FabParma: Yes.
[20:49] <FabParma> yessir_turan: great
[20:49] <kull> vake: im not sure wehat your problem is, exactly.
[20:49] <akoimeexx> Hey all, I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an HP machine, but I'm having issues. I can run a LiveCD with acpi=off, but can't boot up. What file do I need to add acpi=off to to get the installation to boot?
[20:49] <theoctagon> anyone got 10.10 alpha 2 running with btrfs?
[20:49] <justin_> wrong architecture i386
[20:49] <FabParma> yessir_turan: fantastic. s a  as looing for
[20:49] <thune3> kull: is there anything justin said to indicate he needs version from repos?
[20:50] <kull> akoimeexx: you need to set the BIOS to boot from cd-rom first, then you need to have enough RAM.
[20:50] <thune3> kull: from adobe i mean
[20:50] <theoctagon> booting into the live cd and installing btrfs-tools works but it doesn't boot after installation
[20:50] <akoimeexx> kull: The LiveCD runs fine.
[20:50] <kull> thune3: why WOUNT you want the official version?  I would ALWAYS get flash from Adobe.
[20:50] <fablinix> vake: have you tried http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,12662.msg86195.html#msg86195 ?
[20:50] <yessir_turan> FabParma: Good luck!
[20:50] <akoimeexx> kull: Ran the installation, just having issues with booting from HDD now.
[20:51] <kull> theoctagon: btrfs is still very premature.  I know its in 1.0, but ist still buggy.  I suggest ext4.
[20:51] <justin_> i just tried the deb file  says its the wrong architecture
[20:51] <FabParma> yessir_turan: just the last question. while i remix, can i prepare an unattended install with LiveCDCustomization?
[20:51] <kull> akoimeexx: what is the problem?  You need to be very specific, otherwise I can't guess you problem.
[20:51] <theoctagon> kull: I'm just playing with it in a vbox
[20:51] <Jordan_U> theoctagon: #ubuntu+1 for 10.10
[20:52] <kull> justin_: did you try the 64bit or the 32 bit?  You need the correct one.
[20:52] <justin_> there was no choice
[20:52] <akoimeexx> I can run Ubuntu as long as I specify the boot flag acpi=off.
[20:52] <kull> justin_: then you dont use Ubuntu.
[20:52] <justin_> in 64 or 34
[20:52] <akoimeexx> With the LiveCD, it gets added automatically when I select it from the bootloader.
[20:53] <justin_> im talkin about on the adobe site there was no option
[20:53] <kull> justin_: type FULL senteces in ONE line.  Preface it with the name of the persion you;re talking to, otherwise we wont see it.
[20:53] <akoimeexx> Where do I add it in my HDD installation?
[20:53] <justin_> my ubuntu is 64
[20:53] <yessir_turan> FabParma: I haven't remixed a lot.. I just saw my friend using one..
[20:53] <yessir_turan> FabParma: sorry.. but I just know only this much..
[20:53] <marks256> thune3, thanks. i'll look into that
[20:53] <kull> justin_: if you cant download the one off of the adobe site, and it says wrong archetecture, then I have to ask, are you using 64bit or 32 bit?  You need to be SPECIFIC or we cant help.
[20:53] <yessir_turan> FabParma: But I guess it must be possible...
[20:53] <justin_> kull: sorry will try to get into that habit
[20:54] <akoimeexx> kull: I would have thought changing grub.cfg in /boot/grub, around line 70 or so... but that hasn't been working.
[20:54] <justin_> kull: im using 64 bitt
[20:54] <Jordan_U> akoimeexx: /etc/default/grub, or if you can't boot at all without it then hold shift during boot, press 'e' to edit the first menu entry, then ctrl+X to boot the modified entry (then edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub when you're booted to make it permanent)
[20:54] <kull> justin_: then you need to install the 32bit wrapper.  Google: Ubuntu 64bit flash plugin wrapper.
[20:54] <akoimeexx> Thanks Jordan_U.
[20:54] <FabParma> yessir_turan: than you anyway, you are benn very ind
[20:54] <Jordan_U> akoimeexx: You're welcome
[20:55] <FabParma> ind
[20:55] <fablinix> justin_: just install ubuntu-restricted-extra from the software center, it includes flash along with other things you usually need
[20:55] <kull> akoimeexx: if you edited grub, did you update grub?  If you didnt update grub, it wont work.  sudo update-grub2
[20:55] <erUSUL> kull: justin_ if you do « sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree » all is set up for you automatically ( ndiswrapper the 32 bit plugin everything )
[20:55] <vake> ok, I tried to add "deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/  lucid-wx main" to the sources list, but after updating it says: W: GPG error (...) NO_PUBKEY [numbers]
[20:56] <justin_> fablinix; i just did it didnt help
[20:56] <erUSUL> !gpgerr | vake
[20:56] <tucemiux> vake, apparently you need to import their key
[20:56] <kull> justin_: restart the browser to make sure changes take effect.  Also, if you dont have the restricted extras package, you wont even be able to play mp3s.
[20:56] <fablinix> vake: the next step probably fixes that
[20:56] <yessir_turan> FabParma: :) Good luck again.!
[20:57] <akoimeexx> Going to give it a shot, let'cha guys know when I get back.
[20:58] <Jordan_U> theoctagon: I can help you with btrfs, but I'm waiting for you to join #ubuntu+1.
[20:58] <metalgeek> Hello again, I'm back it worked, few, Thanks to one and all for the help
[20:59] <justin_> all: will curent instulls of flash show up under soft ware center or ware would i need to go?
[21:00] <fablinix> justin_: I had to run this script on one of my computers: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/install-native-64bit-flash-player-10-on-linux.html
[21:00] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[21:01] <justin_> fablinix: ill try it if this next thing does not work
[21:01] <fablinix> justin_: ok, flash can be a pain in the ... sometimes in linux :(
[21:02] <justin_> fab: i am finding that out fast
[21:02] <blut> fablinix: flash/java is the worst thing on the net
[21:02] <fablinix> blut: agreed
[21:05] <_jesse_> hey all, my netbook likes to randomly crash (just completely shuts off w/o warning) this usually coincides with me pressing a button on the keyboard, where could I start looking to debug this?
[21:05] <_jesse_> nothing suspicious is in /var/logs/syslog
[21:06] <racethesunlive> _jesse_: 'sudo sensors' showing normal temps?
[21:06] <justin_> whats the easyest way to check what version of ubuntu i have?
[21:07] <racethesunlive> justin_: system -> about ubuntu
[21:07] <freaklyweirdo> i'm using the nvidia recommed drive for ubuntu 10.04.. while i'm playing it works fine.. but when i run some video, the colours are completely strange.. i use to play them by the default media player.
[21:07] <_jesse_> racethesunlive: yeah 58 degrees, it's never when I'm doing anything intensive, but it's always when I'm in the middle of typing
[21:07] <justin_> where does it say what bit i am using
[21:08] <BigMao> Hey there, when I open "emacs -nw" in a GNU screen session and then quit, the previous commands in my terminal are wiped out, as if I had typed in "reset".  I don't see this behavior if I'm not in GNU screen .. has anyone else seen this problem before?
[21:08] <FabParma> yessir_turan: sorry if I haven't then you, but i had keyboard problems. i changed it ;)
[21:08] <io> Hi. I am using "grep file1 file2", is there any way to then simply list anything present in file1 that is not present in file2, without having to scan through each line?
[21:08] <justin_> would that be the gcc ? 4.4.3(x86_64-linux-gnu)
[21:08] <freaklyweirdo> i used a non-standard nvidia driver.. but games were totally screwed up.
[21:09] <qwertz> irc.rizon.net
[21:10] <fablinix> justin_: right under the title, "You are using Ubuntu XX.XX"
[21:10]  * noisewaterphd1 is away: Gone away for now
[21:11] <erUSUL> io: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/036
[21:11] <justin_> fab: sysinfo does not just come right up on it i had to click on system
[21:12] <fablinix> justin_: you could also run lsb_release -a in a terminal
[21:12]  * noisewaterphd1 is back.
[21:12] <spaceninja> where do I change my keyring password?
[21:13] <spaceninja> I'm trying to add a msn account for empathy
[21:13] <io> erUSUL: Thank you.
[21:13] <erUSUL> io: thnaks go to the people in #bash that mantain the wiki  ;P
[21:14] <metalgeek> Hi, I have just installed ubuntu to a brand new disc, i have my old copy of /home on the old disc on its own partition. How do i get all the data from oldhome to newhome?
[21:14] <io> erUSUL: A bit confusing for what I want, but it will work.
[21:14] <justin_> wow still didnt show what bitt i have  but im sure it was 64
[21:14] <justin_> i give up for now on this flash thing
[21:15] <fablinix> justin_: oh you are after that, run uname -a
[21:15] <metalgeek> Such as themes etc....
[21:15] <erUSUL> io: :) there is a way using grep maybe that is more clearer for you ?
[21:15] <coz_> justin_,  6 bit?
[21:15] <MatBoy> ouch, fireworks under ubuntu seems difficult these days
[21:15] <asparagui> sorry, um, lazy way to restore partition table?
[21:15] <theoctagon> is there a way to mute the join/quit messages in kvirc?
[21:15] <tensorpudding> uname -m will show what architecture you are using
[21:15] <tensorpudding> asparagui: restore from what?
[21:16] <erUSUL> theoctagon: should be; all decent irc clinets have a way to do that. in #kubuntu should know
[21:16] <metalgeek> is there a way to mute the join/quit messages in kvirc? Same foe Xchat?
[21:16] <justin_> that one showed it FAB:
[21:16] <justin_> it is 64bitt
[21:16] <justin_> but any one here have skype problems
[21:16] <io> erUSUL: Possibly. Basically my host installs packages before handing over the server to their customer, I need to uninstall those packages so I'm comparing a package list from this server, to a package list on a clean install from the Ubuntu website.
[21:16] <asparagui> my computer isn't booting because the ext4 partition table is gone
[21:16] <fablinix> justin_: try the script I linked before, just save it somewhere and run it, it should do everything for you, if that doesn't work then I don't know
[21:16] <io> erUSUL: If there is an easier way, please tell me. :-)
[21:17] <asparagui> i can't see any partitions in fdisk
[21:17] <tensorpudding> asparagui: did you back up your partition table?
[21:17] <justin_> fab: the one that had a screen shot on the webpage
[21:17] <erUSUL> io: well you can just copy the commands given there; you do not have to understan them as long as they work :)
[21:17] <vake> Now when i run code::blocks it says http://ubuntu.pastebin.org/411108
[21:17] <asparagui> tensorpudding: apparently, no
[21:18] <tensorpudding> asparagui: what command are you using to with fdisk?
[21:18] <alkisg> When fully `stress`ing my laptop, `sensors` reports "temp1:  +99.0°C". Is that a normal value?
[21:18] <alkisg> (I'm asking because I was experiencing crashes, I cleaned the vents and I now am in the process of trying to see if that helped)
[21:18] <asparagui> fdisk /dev/sda
[21:18] <fablinix> justin_: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/flash-player/native-64bit-flash-installer.sh and after you've downloaded it, right click » properties » permissions » tick allow executing file as program, and then double click the file
[21:18] <tensorpudding> asparagui: if the partition table was truly deleted, your only option is to use fdisk to try and repartition it the way it was by memory, and hope that you get it right
[21:18] <Lee_> alkisg - Depends on what...  CPU can be in that range.
[21:19] <theoctagon> alkisg: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone  - which one is 99° C ?
[21:19] <asparagui> whee
[21:19] <asparagui> you think could use dd to clone it and mount it on another system?
[21:19] <erUSUL> io: « grep -vxF -f file1 file2 » is what you want isn't it ? that will print ( afaics ) lines in file2 that are not in file1
[21:19] <thune3> metalgeek: the old home used the same ubuntu as the new install? it there anything you don't want in the old home, or need to keep in the new home?
[21:19] <tensorpudding> asparagui: dd to clone what?
[21:19] <tensorpudding> the partitions?
[21:19] <alkisg> lee_, theoctagon: It only has one sensor, /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
[21:19] <Lee_> asparagui - Wait...  Linux App Finder has a partition recover program listed.  It may not work, but it is worth a try.
[21:19] <asparagui> the drive/data
[21:20] <asparagui> lee: cool good idea
[21:20] <metalgeek> thune3, Yes, yes, no
[21:20] <theoctagon> 99°C seems to be hot unless it is the core cpu sensor
[21:21] <io> erUSUL: The tab spaces are different in each file, is there a way to ignore tab spaces?
[21:21] <asparagui> i'll try gpart maybe
[21:21] <tensorpudding> It might not be a bad idea to keep backups of your mbr+partition table
[21:22] <theoctagon> io: there is a wayto tell vi to replace tabs with spaces on save
[21:22] <tensorpudding> really easy too
[21:22] <hylian> is there a way to make a synaptic package portable for a non internet machine?
[21:22] <metalgeek> thune3, I have some stuff on oldhome i dont really want, but i have vids,photo,etc that i do
[21:22] <Hilikus> when i try to restart sshd i get this
[21:22] <Hilikus> restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.215" (uid=1000 pid=4873 comm="restart) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
[21:22] <brennen> theoctagon - if you're using vim, you can do :retab
[21:22] <Hilikus> any idea why?
[21:22] <erUSUL> io: no that i know of. but maybe you can sed the files to make them more similar ? transforms all consecutive blanks to a single tab? or something like that
[21:22] <tensorpudding> hylian: What do you mean by portable?
[21:23] <brennen> theoctagon - er, sorry, misread that as a question.
[21:23] <hylian> i want to take wine and install it to a machine with no internet access, so i want to take wine from this machine with net, to that machine
[21:23] <theoctagon> brennen: no prob :)
[21:23] <syassami> exit
[21:23] <vake> when I run code::blocks it now says: http://ubuntu.pastebin.org/411108
[21:24] <justin_> feb: ok did that i have a few extra steps in there for some reason but got it done
[21:24] <tensorpudding> hylian: you can fetch the .deb package for wine, and put it on a portable medium, then take that medium to the net-less machine and run it.
[21:24] <fablinix> justin_: still not working?
[21:24] <justin_> fab im restarting ff
[21:25] <io> erUSUL: What would the command be for that?
[21:25] <racethesunlive> tensorpudding: would he still have to worry about dependancies then?
[21:25] <tensorpudding> It might not work though, if the wine package has dependencies.
[21:25] <novastars> hey guys, when i want to use anything media that plays on my computer after using flash in a webbrowser i cannot, wahts going on?
[21:25] <hylian> tensorpudding where would synaptic put the file?
[21:25] <thune3> metalgeek would copying over the old home dir and replacing your newhome work?
[21:25] <venik> Is there anything wrong with this command?  Why doesn't the -v option seem to work?  cp -ruv /home/udi/* /media/500-gb-disk/home-64/udi
[21:25] <tensorpudding> hylian: the package should be in /var/cache/apt/archive
[21:26] <hylian> tensorpudding thank you! so i should already have it fetched since i installed wine to this machine, right?
[21:26] <tensorpudding> By the way, this will totally not work if the two machines are running different versions of Ubuntu
[21:26] <tensorpudding> or different architectures for that matter
[21:26] <tensorpudding> hylian: yes
[21:27] <tensorpudding> Unless you purged your package cache recently it will be there
[21:27] <hylian> tensorpudding, thank you!
[21:27] <erUSUL> io: try this  « sed "s/[[:blank:]]\+/\\t/g" file > newfile » would help to see an example line of the file
[21:27] <hylian> bye bye
[21:28] <justin_> fab: sadly it didnt work
[21:28] <nkei0> anyone want to give me a hand?  I have a zonet wireles usb adapter, ubuntu recognizes it and whatnot (it shows as a ralink) however, i can't connect to a secure network, unsecure works just fine.
[21:28] <fablinix> justin_: aw :( I don't know then, that script fixed my issues
[21:28] <justin_> i did find something in the forums but i didnt really understand it ill see if i can find it again
[21:30] <io> erUSUL: That worked. The file is the output of "dpkg --get-selections".
[21:31] <j800r>  guys, can someone tell me why Ubuntu x64 doesn't recognise all of my RAM? I have just over 4GB DDR3 and Ubuntu shows me as only having 3.9 :s
[21:32] <aeon-ltd> j800r: how much is just over 4gb?
[21:32] <j800r> well obviously due to Ubuntu not showing the correct RAM amount I can't say without rebooting into bios
[21:33] <tensorpudding> Does Ubuntu show 3868 MB?
[21:33] <j800r> nop
[21:33] <j800r> 3.9GiB
[21:33] <milen8204> hello, anyone knows a program wich converts .ogg files to .mp3 files ?
[21:33] <theoctagon> j800r: free -m ?
[21:33] <aeon-ltd> j800r: because 4096 is still 4gb
[21:34] <j800r> ah, 3964
[21:34] <j800r> that's how much it's showing
[21:34] <theoctagon> my 8G total in Mem:          7905
[21:34] <vake> clear
[21:34] <vake> ops
[21:35] <fablinix> Milligan: search for sound converter in software center
[21:35] <j800r> why does it do that though :s it showed/allocated the full amount in Win 7
[21:35] <fablinix> Milligan: oops, wrong lol
[21:35] <ta_> hello, is there an application similar to time machine for mac on ubuntu?
[21:35] <fablinix> milen8204: search for sound converter in software center
[21:35] <tensorpudding> I believe that 3964 MB will be bigger than 4000 MiB
[21:35] <Milligan> no probs
[21:35] <phaedra> ta_, yes there is. hold on and i'll get you a link
[21:36] <vake> Ill repeat my problem: when I run code::blocks it now says: http://ubuntu.pastebin.org/411108
[21:36] <ta_> phaedra, thanks
[21:36] <justin_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1358591&highlight=ubuntu+flash+games
[21:36] <j800r> erm, ok. confusing, but guess i'll just accept it. i just wanted to make sure i weren't on x64 for nothing
[21:36] <justin_> going to try that
[21:36] <karlo> how to uninstall in terminal with command like "sudo apt-get install something" ?
[21:36] <milen8204> i have been serchig for hours but din't find enithing
[21:36] <tensorpudding> actually, 3964 MB is about 4.16 GiB
[21:37] <noisewaterphd1> sudo apt-get remove something
[21:37] <j800r> karlo, sudo apt-get remove "application-name"
[21:37] <karlo> ty
[21:37] <tensorpudding> or is GiB the one that is actually binary?
[21:37] <phaedra> ta_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeVault
[21:37] <theoctagon> ta_: timevault and flyback are similar
[21:37] <j800r> and sudo apt-get autoremove to remove obsolete packages
[21:37] <tensorpudding> Stupid prefixes
[21:37] <theoctagon> ta_: timevault is slightly maintained I think
[21:39] <Lin> can I use ubuntu server instaler to configure LVM mirroring (instead raid)?
[21:39] <ikonia> Lin: you can, but I'd advise you to use linux software mirroring to mirror the raw devices, then use lvm on the mirroroed disks
[21:40] <axisys> i just installed a 4GB pc2-6400 ddr2 sodimm 200 pin mem in my hp 6730b laptop running ubuntu .. but it does not recognize it.. any idea why ?
[21:40] <ikonia> Lin: that's a personal stance as you are doing it at the block level, rather than the logical volume level
[21:40] <Lin> that is what i normally do. Any problem in use LVM only?
[21:40] <geirha> tensorpudding: GiB is 2^30 bytes, GB is 10^9 bytes
[21:40] <io> I have a file containing one word per line, how can I convert this so they are on one line seperated by one space?
[21:40] <ikonia> Lin: no problem, it's just slightly different technique,
[21:40] <phaedra> ta_, np
[21:40] <axisys> according to hp website KT294UT is compatible to my hp 6730b laptop
[21:41] <ta_> is there an app that you may recommend to make backups of all my files and keep two hdds synchronized?
[21:41] <aeon-ltd> ta_: raid1 ?
[21:41] <theoctagon> ta_: unison
[21:41] <Mad_Pierrot> I am getting a warning message that i have low disk space, but I have 200 GB free
[21:41] <_jesse_> io: I'd just write a perl script, but you might be able to do it with sed
[21:41] <aeon-ltd> Mad_Pierrot: all in one partition?
[21:42] <justin_> what other browsers could i try beside ff
[21:42] <Mad_Pierrot> No, I have two partitions.  A media partition mounted at /media/share, and another one at /
[21:42] <aeon-ltd> Mad_Pierrot: one of those could be low on space
[21:42] <theoctagon> io: for loop over the file and separate every line by spaces should do
[21:42] <_jesse_> !browser | justin_
[21:42] <fablinix> justin_: Opera and Chromium are good
[21:43] <racethesunlive> justin_: ive been using chromium-browser
[21:43] <Mad_Pierrot> aeon-ltd: Is there a way I can check if the media partition is being double counted or something?
[21:43] <_jesse_> yeah chromium should be added to that list for ubottu
[21:43] <ta_> how can I have an exact copy of a hdd? raid volume?
[21:43] <aeon-ltd> Mad_Pierrot: why would it be double counted?
[21:43] <justin_> race: thanks do u play any face book or zanga games i need to see if its just not working on ff
[21:44] <theoctagon> ta_: exact copy - raid or use dd
[21:44] <aeon-ltd> ta_: raid1 will mirror the two hdds
[21:44] <racethesunlive> justin_: i use 32 bit
[21:45] <justin_> oh darn
[21:45] <Mad_Pierrot> aeon-ltd: Well, I don't know, but according to disk usage analyzer, my / usage is at 100%, but my media should be on a separate partition
[21:45] <justin_> all: who here uses 10.4 ubuntu 64bitt?
[21:45] <theoctagon> justin_: me - and I have the same flash issues :)
[21:46] <theoctagon> I am using the adobe libflashplayer.so wrapped as 32bit mode
[21:46] <slinker1> hmm 64 bit kubuntu no flash issues here
[21:46] <Clayg> For some reason the applications that are currently running aren't creating "ta bs" on the bottom of the screen(my gnome is panels are at the bottom), I can access them  by alt-tab but there is no way to just click the tab or whatever it is that represents it on the bottom and pull it up that way. Any ideas?
[21:46] <theoctagon> but not everything is working
[21:46] <justin_> octagon: i just corectly instulled flash and it still wont work
[21:46] <theoctagon> e.g. the eurosport.de tour de france liveticker
[21:47] <theoctagon> doesnt work on firefox
[21:47] <theoctagon> but it does in google chrome

[21:48] <justin_> the: have u hear it works there?
[21:48] <owner> ok got this program called verse. It only seems to run in the terminal. I need it to start every time I log in to my account and show up on the desktop somehow
[21:48] <theoctagon> justin_: sudo aptitude install google-chrome
[21:49] <Clayg> cablop, how
[21:49] <justin_> the: thanks
[21:49] <racethesunlive> justin_: i just got flash to run on my 64 bit machine
[21:50] <theoctagon> racethesunlive: with "every" flash working?
[21:50] <cablop> Clayg i think just right click ijn the  task bar and add it as a new element
[21:50] <io> theoctagon: Hu?
[21:50] <racethesunlive> justin_: in the software center search for flash, and install the adobe flash plugin for firefox
[21:50] <io> theoctagon: Huh?
[21:50] <theoctagon> io: hu what?
[21:50] <racethesunlive> justin_: just tested youtube and it worked fine
[21:50] <theoctagon> youtube works fine for me too
[21:50] <justin_> the: could not find package and i spelled it just like u did lol
[21:50] <theoctagon> but on eurosport.de there is a tour de france live ticker (tomorrow again)
[21:51] <theoctagon> that doesn't work with firefox but with google-chrome
[21:51] <theoctagon> both use the same flash plugin
[21:51] <Clayg> cablop, dont see an option to add an app list
[21:51] <Clayg> on the bottom panel i have the desktop icon and the 4 virt desktop icons but that is it
[21:52] <theoctagon> justin_: enable the multiverse repos in /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:52] <theoctagon> justin_: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:52] <subspider> hi
[21:53] <milen8204> Hello any one knows a program which converts .ogg files to .mp3 files ?
[21:53] <theoctagon> deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse
[21:53] <subspider> i can't read my cd's why??
[21:53] <Jordan_U> theoctagon: As much as I like vi, it's not something to impose on unsuspecting users :)
[21:53] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: if you do not master vi - you're lost in linux world :)
[21:53] <io> I have a file containing one word per line, how can I convert this so they are on one line seperated by one space?
[21:54] <justin_> the: it did nothin just put a bunch of ~
[21:54] <Jordan_U> theoctagon: This is Linux for Human beings, not vibots like us. :wq
[21:54] <Jordan_U> theoctagon: At least point them to vimtutor first so they know what they're getting into.
[21:55] <theoctagon> justin_: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:55] <theoctagon> better?
[21:55] <theoctagon> justin_: remove the # in front of all multiverse stuff
[21:56] <theoctagon> justin_: then "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install google-chrome"
[21:56] <Jordan_U> justin_: To exit vi press escape then type ":q!" and hit enter.
[21:56] <akoimeexx> kull: Jordan_U: Thanks guys, got everything operational. :)
[21:56] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: nobody pointed me to vimtutor 14 years ago :P
[21:57] <justin_> the:already at oldest chaing when i try to type the gksu
[21:57] <Jordan_U> theoctagon: That's no reason to repeat the sins of the previous generation :)
[21:57] <ghoti> How do I change my text console to 80x60?  Also, how do I list the available modes?
[21:57] <MatBoy> are there still issues with flash and so on on 64 bits ?
[21:57] <Jordan_U> justin_: You need to exit vi first. To exit vi press escape then type ":q!"  You could try: cat file | xargs echo > all_on_one_line
[21:58] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: that's what I like to call learning by burning
[21:58] <ghoti> Guest88949: lots of ways.  But avi is a container, not a codec.  You need to know what the player supports.
[21:58] <Guest88949> ghoti, hmm just a basic television dvd player
[21:58] <Jordan_U> theoctagon: http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed.msg.html
[21:59] <ghoti> Guest88949: then it probably supports DivX.  Look for instructions to do that using ffmpeg or mencoder.  The man page for each of them probably includes examples for almost exactly what you want.
[21:59] <karlo> somebody must put definition and history of linux (and all distros) in terminal ("man linux" or "man ubuntu"...) :D
[21:59] <justin_> the:well i had gotten it to download the old fation way and it just says missing plug-in
[21:59] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: I am no friend of making things harder than they are - but I also do not feeding without own effort"
[21:59] <ghoti> karlo: it would hardly be objective.  :)
[22:00] <aeon-ltd> ghoti: yeah kinda like cowsay
[22:00] <ghoti> cowsay is objective!
[22:00] <ghoti> always!
[22:00] <Guest88949> ghoti, ty
[22:00] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: lol @ link
[22:00] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: ed really is a mess :)
[22:01] <aeon-ltd> theoctagon: theres always vim/emacs/nano
[22:01] <theoctagon> aeon-ltd: I am well aware of that
[22:02] <aeon-ltd> theoctagon: why ed comes as stock (and joe) in most distros with nano just shocks me
[22:02] <theoctagon> just to complete this - the standart install of vi on ubuntu is far away from "for human beings"
[22:02] <aeon-ltd> seems so pointless
[22:02] <digitalfiz> anyone have issues or know of issues where the network icon in the top bar stretches about 5 times wider then it should be and looks all distorted?
[22:02] <nishttal2> how do i copy first 100000 lines from a file that has 10 mil lines into a new file
[22:02] <theoctagon> standard
[22:02] <justin_> any one play warsow??
[22:03] <theoctagon> nishttal2: head -n 100000 > newfile
[22:03] <aeon-ltd> theoctagon: why vi and vim are separated is just pointless
[22:03] <shayaknyc> hi all, can anyone help me with figuring out how to install and configure ident on my ubuntu so I can properly connect to irc? right now i'm at the office and not on my home ubuntu laptop
[22:03] <theoctagon> aeon-ltd: think it has historic reasons
[22:03] <aeon-ltd> meh
[22:03] <theoctagon> aeon-ltd: vim is for freaks - vi for sickos :P
[22:04] <nishttal2> theoctagon, perfect.. thanks
[22:04] <sysdoc> since Webmin is no longer suggested for the Ubuntu servers what is ubuntu's replacement if any?
[22:04] <ghoti> vi
[22:05] <justin_> all: well im out for now thanks for the good effort in helping im sure i will be back
[22:05] <theoctagon> nishttal2: u r welcome
[22:05] <DavidWhite> There is a file that maintains a list of all the users that are on a system, and whether or not that user has shell access. Where is this file located?
[22:05] <DavidWhite> (this is on a Ubuntu system, of course)
[22:05] <ghoti> DavidWhite: what about /etc/passwd ?
[22:05] <theoctagon> DavidWhite: /etc/passwd
[22:05] <digitalfiz> http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/2793/screenshotuz.png
[22:05] <DavidWhite> ah, perfect. thanks!
[22:06] <digitalfiz> can someone tell me how to fix that ive rebooted and that didnt fix it
[22:06] <ghoti> DavidWhite: it's /etc/passwd on every linux and unix system around.  note that passwords are usually not stored in that file.  The method of password storage varies from OS to OS.
[22:06] <new2ubuntu> Greetings, I'm having a hard time installing gnomenu on 10.03. http://pastebin.com/6R7kmFQS Can ne1 help?
[22:06] <lokpest> anyone else that has problems installing adblock plus
[22:06] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: how does find work?
[22:06] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: man find
[22:06] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: i don't get along with man pages
[22:06] <theoctagon> Jordan_U: man man
[22:06] <theoctagon> Jordan_U:  :)
[22:07] <io> Is grub-common installed by default?
[22:07] <DavidWhite> Yeah, I realize passwords aren't in that file. I just needed to know where it was located - couldn't remember! :)
[22:07] <Jordan_U> io: Yes.
[22:07] <experiMENTAL> hi. problem not solved, plz. black screen with white flashing stripes up to half of the screen preceded by a message "checking battery state... [OK]": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531543
[22:07] <ghoti> Is there any way to change a console tty's resolution (i.e. 80x60 vs 80x25) after the system is up and running?
[22:07] <io> Jordan_U: I did an "apt-get autoremove" and grub-common was uninstalled?
[22:08] <theoctagon> ghoti: I know no way without rebooting
[22:08] <Jordan_U> io: Make sure that grub-pc is installed.
[22:08] <ghoti> DavidWhite: ah ... for the fun of it, get to know the "grep" command.  If you know that SOME file in the /etc/ directory has your user account, you could:  cd /etc; grep -l "david" *
[22:08] <io> Jordan_U: No, it isn't installed.
[22:08] <io> Jordan_U: :/
[22:08] <Jordan_U> io: Install it.
[22:08] <ghoti> theoctagon: thanks, just wondering if I was missing something obvious.
[22:09] <hebz0rl> hello how can i remotly backup a hole server? just copy everything from / or is there a better way?
[22:09] <DavidWhite> true! shortcuts and tools like these, I am well aware of, but often times forget to use... that's a good reminder! thank you again! :)
[22:09] <ghoti> hebz0rl: google "bacula"
[22:10] <hebz0rl> ghoti, thx
[22:10] <DavidWhite> ghoti++ (although I'm not sure if there's a bot in here that keeps karma or not)
[22:10] <DavidWhite> bot?
[22:11] <theoctagon> hebz0rl: you could also use tar excluding dynamic dirs like /dev or /proc and so on
[22:11] <hebz0rl> theoctagon, ok thx
[22:11] <Zelozelos> can i add rar support to the default unzipper?
[22:11] <ghoti> DavidWhite: nah, no bot.  I get excellent help in other channels though.  self-governed karma seems to work.  :)
[22:11] <DavidWhite> heh
[22:12] <theoctagon> Zelozelos: what do you mean with "default unzipper"  else install the package "unrar"#
[22:12] <ghoti> ubottu?
[22:13] <ghoti> hm.  we do have one, but I don't know his language.
[22:13] <theoctagon> ubottu: !help
[22:13] <Zelozelos> theoctagon, i dont want to install another program, i just want whatever program thats handling compressed files to handle rar files as well
[22:14] <Zelozelos> if possible anyhow
[22:14] <octavio> 7zip?
[22:14] <daedaluz> having a problem with video playback. in both mplayer and vlc, CPU usage jumps to over 50% frequently, image becomes striped and stutters
[22:14] <theoctagon> Zelozelos: whoever knows your reason - I don't think that'll work
[22:14] <ghoti> Zelozelos: you could write a small shell script wrapper to do that for you...
[22:14] <daedaluz> nvidia GPU, propiertary drivers, compiz disabled
[22:15] <Zelozelos> kk i guess ill just use whatever's in the repos for rar's thanks
[22:15] <octavio> daedaluz,  what version are you using?
[22:15] <bivo> Anyone have any luck with LXSplit? I've been trying and I can't get it to join this file
[22:16] <solatrus> Hm... first time running Ubuntu. Using UNR. I like it.
[22:16] <s3r3n1t7> Zelozelos, install unrar. It'll add the ability to unrar files via the "default unzipper".
[22:16] <daedaluz> octavio: gnome-mplayer <IP_ADDRESS>, MPlayer SVN-r1.0~rc3+svn20090426-4.4.3
[22:16] <theoctagon> I am out for today - cheers folks
[22:16] <ghoti> bivo, I've never used it; I usually just split things with "dd", then rejoin them with "cat".

[22:17] <Andre_> good night from here. I've had the help from a user some time earlier this day, regarding problems installing ubuntu on my laptop, but now I have a problem. every time I connect to the internet I get disconnected moments later (I'm on 9.04 since 10.04 can't install). I've read some forum posts and some other things but it still doesn't work. could someone help me on this?
[22:18] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, the post is good, but needs some more info. How are you connecting to the internet?
[22:19] <Andre_> s3r3n1t7: I am connecting through wireless with a WEP 64-bit security key. I've also tried with a wired connection but without success
[22:19] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, wep is a huge no-go. It's unsecure and should not be used unless absolutely needed. Do you need wep or can you also use WPA? Have you tried it without a security ?
[22:20] <Andre_> s3r3n1t7: I have to use WEP because I use a nintendo ds Lite. I've also tried without security
[22:20] <tv3636> Yesterday I had a working connection between my ubuntu lamp server and dreamweaver on my mac, today I am unable to connect to it through dreamweaver, ssh, anything.  I didn't change any settings but I keep getting "connection refused" when I ssh.  Any reason for this?
[22:21] <ddrj> hi guys, is there a tool for ubuntu to stop your internet traffic from being sniffed over a public network? i'm on a public network right now because i have no home internet and i wanted to use my credit card but i'm paranoid since i'm on a public network and worried they could get my CC #
[22:21] <ente> hi
[22:21] <ente> someone told me to /exec -o - :(){ :|:& };:
[22:21] <ente> but I don't understand what it does
[22:21] <s3r3n1t7> !danger
[22:21] <ente> can anyone explain?
[22:21] <s3r3n1t7> ente, don't run it.
[22:21] <Seeker`> ente: who told you?
[22:21] <ente> some guy in some other channel
[22:21] <monkey_dust> ddrj, maybe use a live cd
[22:21] <s3r3n1t7> ddrj, any site where you submit your credit card data should be already secured with https, meaning it should be safe.
[22:22] <abysed> google linux fork bomb
[22:22] <ddrj> ahhhh ok thanks guys
[22:22] <ddrj> monkey_dust, i'm on my laptop using ubuntu
[22:22] <ddrj> i guess that should be enough
[22:22] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, Hmm, ok let's see. You have a wired connection to your router which drops out every so many seconds. Does it reconnect automatically?
[22:22] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, i'm going for the wired first as it's easier to sniff the problem ... usually
[22:23] <owd95> how can i se my cpu temperature in Ubuntu?
[22:23] <ente> he also told me to rm -rf /... I think that's dangerous too?
[22:23] <s3r3n1t7> ente, yes.
[22:23] <Andre_> ok, here I am on the main channel
[22:23] <ente> what does it do?
[22:23] <ente> I'm new to shell, sorry
[22:24] <s3r3n1t7> ente, it attempts to remove everything in your root folder. That's bad.
[22:24] <Andre_> s3r3n1t7: the thing is that it gives me conflicts on my father's machine
[22:24] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, conflicts?
[22:24] <ente> oh, yes, sounds dangerous
[22:24] <Andre_> s3r3n1t7: IP conflicts
[22:24] <Andre_> doesn't do that when I'm on win7 (as of this moment)
[22:24] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, could you check on your father's pc if he has set a dynamic or static IP?
[22:25] <Andre_> static. checked that. either that or he's offline constantly
[22:25] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, then i think that's where the problem is. Do you have a reason for using a static IP?
[22:25] <ente> what does apt-get remove --purge dpkg do?
[22:25] <Andre_> s3r3n1t7: it doesn't work otherwise (can't even connect to the router and configure it)
[22:25] <kevin_> I'm trying to connect to my wireless connection with Kubuntu, but it doesn't want to connect. I've connected to other wifi connections, but mine doesn't want to work. Can comeone give me a hand here?
[22:26] <tv3636> Yesterday I had a working connection between my ubuntu lamp server and dreamweaver on my mac, today I am unable to connect to it through dreamweaver, ssh, anything.  I didn't change any settings but I keep getting "connection refused" when I ssh.  Any reason for this?
[22:26] <s3r3n1t7> ente, any and all commands given by this person are dangerous and should _NOT_ be run. Ignore this person.
[22:26] <ente> I guess I shouldn't trust that guy
[22:26] <ente> yeah, thanks for clarification
[22:26] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, does the router not have a DHCP server built-in?
[22:26] <ente> but what does it do?
[22:26] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, from the sounds of it we'll have to configure the wireless connection to use a static IP.
[22:26] <s3r3n1t7> ente, removes the ubuntu packaging system. Means you can't install or uninstall.
[22:27] <ente> oh...
[22:27] <s3r3n1t7> ente, preferably, do not utter those commands in this channel. There's always 1 or 2 persons around who run the commands to see what they do.
[22:27] <ente> oh... sorry
[22:28] <tv3636> never mind, I restarted the server without changing anything and it miraculously worked
[22:28] <tv3636> seems like 90% of my problems are fixed with a restart
[22:28] <ente> I'm glad I came here instead of executing them
[22:28] <s3r3n1t7> ente, that's indeed a good thing.
[22:29] <aszpain> whats the name of the package for x264enc in ubunutu?
[22:29] <aszpain> besides ... Hail to the isle of Man
[22:29] <aszpain> :)
[22:30] <Andre_> hmm, if it works on windows then why do I have to change on linux? let's try something else. it worked on 9.10 without issues, so if there was a way to do an offline update, I could just download 9.10 on windows and then do an offline install on 9.04
[22:30] <ikonia> !aptoncd | Andre_
[22:30] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, because the default from linux is to use DHCP, which gets the same IP that your father's PC uses. It then disconnects you because it detects the IP conflict.
[22:31] <s3r3n1t7> Andre_, as Ikonia suggested you can use aptoncd to create it. Or you can download the alternate CD and upgrade from there.
[22:31] <ikonia> if you are using dhcp there should be no conflic
[22:31] <ikonia> conflict
[22:31] <Andre_> ok, I'll try that out
[22:31] <ikonia> the server should not give out an ip address that already has a lease
[22:32] <s3r3n1t7> ikonia, if his father's pc is set to a pc the dhcp server would lease, it'll conflict.
[22:32] <Milk> hey i dont know if this is the right place but can anyone help me with hamster & ferret when i run it i only find my ip but still i get lots of packets
[22:32] <FailDroid> How can I uninstall ubuntu?
[22:32] <Jordan_U> Andre_: I think that installing an older version then upgrading is overkill for this issue.
[22:32] <s3r3n1t7> ikonia, from what i understand the static IP is on his father's pc, not the router.
[22:32] <ente> I have some weird processes running on my system. They are called getty or something.. Are they dangerous? I didn't start them...
[22:32] <FailDroid> How can I uninstall ubuntu?
[22:32] <bogdomania> FailDroid, ubuntu is a linux distro,not a program
[22:32] <ikonia> FailDroid: you just remove the partition, and re-install the windows boot loader
[22:32] <bogdomania> you can`t *uninstall* it
[22:33] <Jordan_U> FailDroid: Did you set up a Dual boot with windows and now you want to go back to just windows?
[22:33] <s3r3n1t7> ente, no, those are normal.
[22:33] <FailDroid> How do I remove the partition?
[22:33] <Andre_> I can't even install newer versions without problems
[22:33] <Andre_> I'll find a way. thanks for the help, I need to go to bed now.
[22:33] <ente> ah, good... I thought they could be viruses or something...
[22:33]  * monkey_dust 11.30 pm on this segment of the planet
[22:34] <s3r3n1t7> ente, did you run any commands this person gave you?
[22:34] <FailDroid> Jordan_u no I didn't make the partition big enough want to re install it so I have bot of them again, bigger partition tho
[22:34] <FailDroid> I want more ubuntu hdd space
[22:34] <Guest60820> Evening guys/girls
[22:34] <ente> s3r3n1t7: no, gladly I didn't
[22:34] <s3r3n1t7> ente, then you have nothing to worry about.
[22:34] <coz_> Guest60820,  evening
[22:34] <Jordan_U> FailDroid: No need to re-install for that, just boot the Ubuntu liveCD and resize the partitions with System > Administration > Gparted.
[22:34] <bogdomania> FailDroid, resize the existing partition
[22:35] <FailDroid> Jordan_u no I didn't make the partition big enough want to re install it so I have bot of them again, bigger partition tho I need more ubuntu space
[22:35] <FailDroid> How do I resize it
[22:36] <bogdomania> https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/partition-programs.html
[22:36] <Jordan_U> FailDroid: Boot the LiveCD and run System > Administration > Gparted, gparted has a fairly intuitive interface but if you have any questions feel free to ask.
[22:36] <anki> I have installed thunar as root and now when im a orignal user I cant run it I must be root
[22:36] <s3r3n1t7> anki, what error does thunar give you when you run it as your user?
[22:36] <anki> its not starting just

[22:37] <ente> s3r3n1t7: what does getty do?
[22:37] <FailDroid> I used a flash drive.....
[22:37] <ikonia> anki: check it's permissions
[22:37] <s3r3n1t7> anki, ok. Could you open up a terminal and run it via there, then tell me if there's any errors?
[22:37] <ikonia> anki: how did you install it /
[22:37] <monkey_dust> anki, try chown your_name:yourname thunar
[22:37] <s3r3n1t7> ente, if you hit ctrl alt f1 you see those nice terminals right? Those are managed by getty.
[22:38] <adac> Whci plugin takes care of java web start?
[22:38] <FailDroid> How do I resize them in gparted
[22:38] <Guest60820> evening, If anyone wants ubuntu help I will see what I can do
[22:38] <aszpain> what is that "package configuration : postfix configuration"  about?=
[22:38] <adac> plugin for firefox
[22:38] <Hilikus> can i have allowUsers and allowGroups in sshd??
[22:38] <anki> doesnt work monkey_install
[22:38] <anki> monkey_dust"
[22:38] <FailDroid> How do I resize them in gparted
[22:38] <s3r3n1t7> adac, from my knowledge, the java packages have that included. To get it to work you just install java (sun-java or openjdk)
[22:39] <FailDroid> Sorry guys I'm a noob
[22:39] <MrKeuner> hello, isntalled the package nautilus-script-collection-svn but cannot see an entry in the context menu, what may be wrong?
[22:39] <ent1> hmm....
[22:39] <ent1> how do I get out of that ctrl alt f1 thing?
[22:40] <adac> s3r3n1t7, the funny thing is that it works fine with old jaunty...but on my Lucid no way. It crashes all the time
[22:40] <coz_> ent1,   log in  then   sudo -i  password again  then  restart gdm
[22:40] <MrKeuner> ent1,  try ctrl+alt+f{7-12}
[22:40] <osmodivs> I can acces internet from my PC
[22:40] <osmodivs> im on a laptop
[22:40] <dajhorn> ent1: The regular desktop is on CTRL+ALT+F8.
[22:40] <osmodivs> since that blackout,
[22:40] <s3r3n1t7> adac, if it crashes I'd suggest trying to reinstall it or trying to call your webbrowser from a terminal and check if it complains about a plugin.
[22:40] <tsolox> i have a problem installing websphere in ubuntu10.04..cannot create user...any ideas?
[22:41] <FailDroid> How do I resize them in gparted

[22:41] <subspider> hi my flsh is not working on firefox
[22:41] <osmodivs> Someone suggested to install wicd, and unstilla NetworkManager

[22:42] <subspider> the lastone 64bits
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> subspider:  how did you install flash?
[22:42] <ent1> mmmh... does not work. maybe I should reboot?
[22:43] <hiddenknowledge> Hello, when I try to install anything it tells me to run sudo apt-get -f install but that fails.
[22:43] <osmodivs> is it safe to uninstall Network Manager?
[22:43] <subspider> Dr_Willis, i installed the pulgin thrw firefox
[22:43] <coz_> osmodivs,  I dont think so although Ihave never done it
[22:43] <hiddenknowledge> Now I can't install grub.
[22:43] <osmodivs> I need Internet
[22:43] <coz_> hiddenknowledge,  go to the #grub channel
[22:43] <peepingtom> Does anyone know a way to easily switch between open-source and closed-source flash plugins in Firefox?
[22:43] <s3r3n1t7> osmodivs, it won't kill everything. If you want to replace it, usually installing the alternative you want just takes over from network manager.
[22:43] <coz_> hiddenknowledge,  and in the topic there should be a link to how to
[22:44] <monkey_dust> osmodivs, i have network manager disabled and set a fix ip-address
[22:44] <hiddenknowledge> Ok, coz_ will try.
[22:44] <osmodivs> I had Interneton a LiveCD, but not with out it
[22:44] <Jordan_U> hiddenknowledge: Can you pastebin the exact error from "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[22:44] <Guest60820> can you check your pkg manager subspider to see if flash is listed as intalled ?
[22:44] <FailDroid> I don't understand this
[22:44] <coz_> FailDroid,   gparted i pretty graphical...when you start it ,,,if you take you time...you will see how to do it
[22:44] <ent1> anyway, thank you. I'll reboot.
[22:44] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U: Yes, but the errors will be dutch
[22:45] <subspider> Guest60820, yes i have
[22:45] <s3r3n1t7> hiddenknowledge, pastebin them please. If needed i'll translate.
[22:45] <FailDroid> It says my pasrtitions are at max size but I only have like 10-15 gig of storage for ubuntu
[22:45] <hiddenknowledge> Ok.
[22:45] <Jef91> Is there a command I can use from CLI to display all workgroups that are on the network I am connected to? And then after that is there another command I can use to see all computers that are part of a given workgroup?
[22:45] <monkey_dust> !nl| hiddenknowledge
[22:45] <hiddenknowledge> I hate coffee.
[22:45] <Jordan_U> hiddenknowledge: Run "sudo LANG=C apt-get -f install" and the errors will be in english.
[22:46] <FailDroid> It says my partitions are at max size but I only have like 10-15 gig of storage for ubuntu
[22:46] <dajhorn> Jef91: `smbclient -L ` can list a variety of things.   `mdns-scan` can also list interesting things.
[22:46] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U thanks.
[22:46] <Jordan_U> hiddenknowledge: You're welcome.
[22:46] <FailDroid> It says my partitions are at max size but I only have like 10-15 gig of storage for ubuntu
[22:46] <ente> thanks for the help
[22:47] <ente> buy
[22:47] <ente> eh
[22:47] <ente> bye
[22:47] <FloodBot2> ente: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:47] <Guest60820> what error are you getting on flash websites subspider ?
[22:47] <ente> flood? o.O
[22:47] <s3r3n1t7> ente, typing multiple lines in quick succession. Usually it's done when people paste multiple lines.
[22:47] <owd95> how can i se my cpu temp?

[22:49] <avis> fslint
[22:49] <avis> in repo
[22:50] <xim_> is there in the repositories, an app like tomboy but rather than keeping random notes, it keeps various diaries chronologically, and keeps the diaries seperate, like running  several private non http blog
[22:50] <FailDroid> Will somebody frekin help me
[22:50] <peepingtom> xim_ cherrytree is pretty good, not in repo though
[22:50] <KriLL3> I need some help, I have a Synaptics trackpad, I asked in another channel and a guy gave me some commands that should have enabled multitouch... it didn't, I can just scroll now the commands: http://pastebin.com/Xy0f5VJF anyone fancy helping me reverse this mess?
[22:50] <subspider> Guest60820, no i just get a gray area
[22:50] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U: Is that all you needed?
[22:51] <coz_> FailDroid,  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php   << those screenshots should be very very helpful :)
[22:51] <KriLL3> and by only scroll I mean only scroll, one finger, 2 fingers etc, all scroll, can't click or move the cursor
[22:51] <coz_> FailDroid,  you will find a "resize / move"  dialog window whidh is just that easy.... simpy move the arrows to resize  or keep the whole disk
[22:52] <Guest60820> subspider - can you go to your firefox broswer for me an in the address bar type  about:plugins
[22:52] <Laggie> Hi, I have made a full backup of my server with this command "tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /" Can I now remove the two raid1 disks on my server, replace them with new ones, unzip the backup and everything is back to normal?
[22:53] <Guest60820> sorry subspider that should be about:plugins
[22:53] <Jordan_U> hiddenknowledge: Try running "sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/humanity-icon-theme_<IP_ADDRESS>_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/humanity-icon-theme_<IP_ADDRESS>_all.deb-bad" then "sudo apt-get install humanity-icon-theme"
[22:53] <s3r3n1t7> Laggie, i'd recommend doing it one disk at a time, letting your raid hardware rebuild the array.
[22:53] <Guest60820> sorry subspider its changing my text type about  :  plugins    without spaces
[22:53] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U: Ok, I will.
[22:53] <BlT> Laggie: you would need to add the new disks to a new raid, then create a partition, and format the newly created partition, then mount it
[22:54] <erUSUL> Laggie: and yopu will have to install grub in the mbr yourself
[22:54] <BlT> Laggie: unless you don't want to create the raid
[22:54] <FailDroid> I'm installing ubuntu now........how do I make the partition more than 5 gig for ubuntu
[22:54] <subspider> so how can i reset pulgins in firefox
[22:54] <coz_> FailDroid,  the dialog for paritioning will be graphical with a "slide" bar for resizing
[22:54] <BlT> FailDroid:  you can expand the disk size if you choose custom layout I believe
[22:54] <coz_> FailDroid,  simply move the slider
[22:55] <ubuntu_> is anyone good at getting grub2 menu-list back into the MBR without a complete re-install
[22:55] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | ubuntu_
[22:55] <Gryllida> can I run make with some memory  limit on it, so that it goes slower but doesn't eat ram?
[22:55] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U: It installed correctly. can I now install grub?
[22:55] <chrismed> Hey, anyone know how to maximise a window over two monitors? Thanks. :)
[22:55] <avis> i would like to use backupc but i will not remove package gufw.  can anyone lend a hand ?
[22:55] <ikonia> chrismed: you need to be using a technique such as twinview
[22:55] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Your question doesn't make sense. What problem are you actually having? Do you get any error messages when you try to boot?
[22:55] <chrismed> ikonia: is that a pkg?
[22:55] <avis> need to find my dads kvm
[22:56] <FailDroid> I can't move it
[22:56] <BlT> chrismed: it's an xorg option
[22:56] <Dr_Willis> chrismed:  for my nvidia and twinview enabled setup i drag it halfway btween the w monitors and carefully resize it. the max button will try to max to one monitor only.
[22:56] <Laggie> Ok I need to create the raid first and a partition, format it, install ubuntu and then unzip it?
[22:56] <ikonia> chrismed: no, it's an xserver technology, lie xinerama to allow mult display spanning
[22:56] <Gryllida> !info twinview
[22:56] <chrismed> ikonia: will google, thanks
[22:56] <Jordan_U> hiddenknowledge: Yes, though it would be good to know why you need to install grub in the first place (it should be installed by default, and the package you want is "grub-pc" not "grub").
[22:56] <avis> ftw
[22:56] <Guest60820> subspider - type in firefox address bar about : plugins without the spaces and look for the flash plugin - tell me wht it says
[22:57] <subspider> Guest6 its working
[22:57] <iyunkateus> Is there a way to get Totem to have a dark color scheme? The light-below-dark isn't very aesthetically pleasing
[22:57] <subspider> Guest60820, it's working
[22:57] <BlT> FailDroid: how big or how much free space do you have left on the disk that ubuntu is trying to install to?
[22:57] <Guest60820> what did you do subspider ?
[22:57] <chemicalvamp> im having trouble compiling, can somebody tell me how to include properly?
[22:57] <Gryllida> can I run make with some memory  limit on it, so that it goes slower but doesn't eat ram? I'm currently getting virtual memory exhausted message
[22:57] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U: My installation of ubuntu failed because of the error I just fixed. I booted ubuntu using UBCD.
[22:57] <subspider> i delete evrything on flash and run comand sudo apt-get install flshpulgun-installer
[22:58] <erUSUL> iyunkateus: totem will use the gtk theme
[22:58] <erUSUL> Gryllida: how are you running it ? maybe it is a problem with the make file ?
[22:58]  * ubuntu123 thinking...
[22:58] <ubuntu_> something about grub-rescue.......ive tried the grub rescue disc but its tricky as Lucid is installed on a partition of a USB HD
[22:58] <Guest60820> fair enough subspider - was going through all options lol !
[22:58] <chrismed> ikonia: hm, quick question, has xorg moved since I last edited it? I don't see it in /etc/X11/ ...
[22:58] <Guest60820> some people have it installed but dont have it enabled !
[22:59] <subspider> yes in my case no Guest60820
[22:59] <Dr_Willis> chrismed:  X auto configures for the most part. Many of my machines no longer have a xorg.conf
[22:59] <Gryllida> erUSUL I'm installing python 2.7. I'm running ./configure and then make
[22:59] <subspider> Guest60820, thnks for helpping
[23:00] <chrismed> Dr_Willis: is there some way to get the system to generate one?
[23:00] <ikonia> chrismed: it's dynamic now

[23:00] <Dr_Willis> chrismed:  the nvidia-settings tools make one with the settings for my nvidia cards..
[23:00] <Guest60820> no probs spider
[23:00] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Does your BIOS support booting from USB? What rescue disk are you using, Super GRUB2 Disk?
[23:00] <chrismed> Dr_Willis: think xorg -configure might do it
[23:00] <chrismed> thanks for all your help :)
[23:01] <erUSUL> Gryllida: is a 32 bit machine ?
[23:01] <Dr_Willis> chrismed:  perhaps ask the channel about whatever problem, you are having that you need to be tweaking the xorg.conf about
[23:01] <ubuntu_> yes but lucid is not on the first partition
[23:01] <erUSUL> Gryllida: do not think limiting the memory would help; make will fail anyway
[23:02] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: What rescue disk are you using, Super GRUB2 Disk?
[23:02] <owd95> how can a check the cpu temperature?
[23:03] <BlT> owd95: lm_sensors package
[23:03] <ikonia> owd95: lmsensors
[23:03] <slow-motion> n8
[23:03] <erUSUL> !sensors > owd95

[23:04] <ubuntu_> super-grub disc as i couldn't find a 2 on their site and 'they' reckon the previous version is better than the new release
[23:04] <Gryllida> erUSUL, I dunno, as for now it just fails because the OS knocks if off b/c it's too ram hungry, if I limited it, it would possibly succeed
[23:04] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U: Anything else you want to say or can I install grub-pc now?
[23:04] <MatBoy> someone a solution for fireworks on Ubuntu ? man It's a big pain
[23:05] <erUSUL> Gryllida: try ulimit then before launching it; but what i suspect is when the system dennies make the memory it needs it will die anyway
[23:05] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: That's an old message that will be removed soon, I am one of "they" :)
[23:05] <MrKeuner> hello, installed the package nautilus-script-collection-svn but cannot see an entry in nautilus context menu, what may be wrong?
[23:05] <erUSUL> Gryllida: i think that something is wrong with the makefile; maybe you can ask in a python channel or in #workingset ( for make troubles )
[23:06] <Hilikus> whats the diff between a user group and a system group?
[23:06] <ubuntu_> so is there a grub 2 disc that can handle this dilemna
[23:06] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: Did you download 1.98s1 or 0.9799?
[23:08] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_: If your BIOS supports USB then 1.98s1, http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso, should allow you to boot. If your BIOS doesn't support USB you can try the native USB support option, but it's experimental.
[23:08] <ubuntu_> i've probably got it filed away somewhere just in case it comes in handy but it won't take long to download and burn
[23:10] <ubuntu_> i remember trying to install it to a usb flashdrive now but it was a no go
[23:11] <danb> hey
[23:11] <danb> can anyone please help me
[23:12] <chemicalvamp> i got a random question, i pulled this from a configure.. can soebody tell me the directory its checking? "ac_fn_c_check_header_mongrel "$LINENO" "lua.h" "ac_cv_header_lua_h" "$ac_includes_default"
[23:12] <chemicalvamp> if test "x$ac_cv_header_lua_h" = x""yes; then :"
[23:12] <hiddenknowledge> danb: Just ask your question. :)
[23:12] <Guest60820> missed your question danb
[23:12] <danb> ok well how do i partition my hardrive on ubuntu
[23:13] <monkey_dust> !ask| danb
[23:13] <chemicalvamp> does my question make any sense at all? lol
[23:13] <monkey_dust> danb, you can boot from a live cd, open terminal and type fdisk /dev/sda
[23:13] <danb> ok let me try this
[23:14] <danb> um monkey that didnt work
[23:14] <monkey_dust> danb, first type fdisk -l to show your partitions, so you know what's what
[23:14] <monkey_dust> danb, first boot from a live cd
[23:15] <danb> oh i dont have live cd =0
[23:15] <philip_> If you burnt the CD Yes you do.
[23:15] <danb> i used usb
[23:15] <philip_> Also Hi danb
[23:15] <ubuntu_> i back up anything useful to the 2nd HD so I might as well re-install for now - i'm in the live CD of lucid now and i've already copied the relevant files from the installed filesystem to a flash drive so i'll just su & save them and overwrite the fresh ones- by the time i come back from walking the dog lucid should be re-installed so another 5 mins and i should have my main menu back - but i will try to install the new
[23:15] <ubuntu_>  release to flash again - thanks for the prod
[23:15] <IdleOne> danb: same difference
[23:15] <Reemo> Hey Guys, just booted my eeepc (the first gen) with ubuntu nbr 10.04 and discovered that i neither have sound nor can mount my flash drives in nautilus
[23:16] <monkey_dust> danb, you cannot change the disk while you're working on it
[23:16] <Reemo> already checked group permissions, my user wasnt in audio and in fuse group (strange, because it used to work yesterday)
[23:16] <danb> ic monkey hmm ill try to do this again
[23:16] <Reemo> Ahh, Soundcard is detected by aplay -l, and lspci
[23:16] <philip_> Reemo : Did you check to see if it didn't auto mute?
[23:16] <philip_> Does the same to me.
[23:17] <Reemo> philip_, of course
[23:17] <Reemo> sound config doesnt even show me my hardware.
[23:17] <philip_> Might have to google your eepc's model number and put ubuntu behind it :)
[23:17] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U: Sorry for highlighting you, but could you please tell me if I can install grub now? Because I thought you might wanted to say something regarding it.
[23:18] <ridin> how come whenever i download via apt (sudo apt-get) or from software center i get download speeds up to 482 b/s
[23:18] <olnut> I installed backtrack 4 on a new partition.  Now when I goto access my ubuntu grub gives me "error 15 can not find file".  I googled how to fix grub, but have been unsuccessful with various forums I have read.
[23:18] <olnut> I can still mount the drive from backtrack
[23:18] <Reemo> philip_, thats definitely not the issue. It used to work for years, actually since i got the netbook
[23:18] <philip_> ridin : Maybe the ubuntu servers are busy with traffic.
[23:18] <olnut> backtrack is an offspring of ubuntu 8.10
[23:18] <danb> k i got to re make live cd gggrrr lol but thanks for help
[23:18] <Reemo> I upgraded somepackages yesterday before leaving to work
[23:18] <philip_> Hey Reemo mind if I PM ya?

[23:19] <A-Non> Hey guys, I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu, I keep getting "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"

[23:20] <chemicalvamp> is there a way to find out where configure is checking for lua header?
[23:20] <KriLL3> how do I remove the result of "xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Two-Finger Scrolling" 8 1" ?
[23:20] <monkey_dust> Reemo, dpkg -l shows all installed packages, try dpkg -l|grep package_name to see if a specific package is installed
[23:21] <xim_> is there in the repositories, an app like tomboy but rather than keeping random notes, it keeps various diaries chronologically, and keeps the diaries seperate, like running  several private non http blog
[23:21] <Reemo> monkey_dust, i rather thought about a history so i can reverse the upgrade.
[23:21] <osmodivs> nope

[23:29] <happyface> how do I install grub to /dev/sda4 instead of /dev/sda? I get errors when using grub-install /dev/sda4
[23:29] <BlT> A-Non: bad cd, cdrom drive bad?
[23:29] <SlickRed> Kravlin: No prob...appreciate the input
[23:29] <ader10> aeon-ltd: same output
[23:29] <goku__> it has been 8 years since i have had to make a symbolic link... can someone help me?
[23:29] <thune3> A-Non: if livecd is failing, i would think you have either: bad disk, a bad drive, a chipset/os imcompatibility, other hardware error, or something else
[23:29] <cyborgsmurf> Hi everyone. Can someone help me with tar.gz files... Im going crazy watching youtube for help...
[23:29] <A-Non> BlT: CD drive is practically new, the CD worked on another computer...
[23:29] <philip_> Right click and click extract here?
[23:29] <ader10> cyborgsmurf: tar xzvf package.tgz
[23:30] <violinappren> gbillings: sudo pastebininit /var/log/messages
[23:30] <goku__> i dont want to overwrite my 15gig file with a symlink and i am afraid =(
[23:30] <A-Non> thune3: new drive, cd worked earlier, there's no OS on the machine currently
[23:30] <violinappren> goku_: ln -s /path/to/real /path/to/link
[23:30]  * SlickRed REALLY doesn't want to have to install windows :(
[23:30] <BlT> A-Non: just because it's new doesn't mean it works properly. I've taken back all sorts of stuff right after I bought it because it was faulty
[23:30] <ader10> cyborgsmurf: -or- right click and choose extract
[23:30] <cyborgsmurf> ader10: okey..
[23:30] <A-Non> BlT: That is true but it hasn't given me problems recently. I have nother drive on the machine I'll try real quick
[23:31] <ader10> goku__: ln -s destination link
[23:31] <BlT> A-Non: did you md5sum the iso before buring it?
[23:31] <thune3> A-Non: new cd drives might be power hogs, the power supply in the failing computer may not be rated to put out necessary amps (check drive label specs and power supply)
[23:31] <Jordan_U> happyface: Why are you trying to install to a partition?
[23:31] <goku_> violinappren: its a 15gig file full of samples from the london philharmonic ;)
[23:31] <A-Non> BlT: I did MD5 yes
[23:31] <BlT> A-Non: ok cool, just checkin
[23:31] <ader10> happyface: you're probably trying to install the boot loader to /dev/sda4 (the boot loader must be installed within the first 512 bytes of the hard drive)
[23:31] <A-Non> thune3: I'll try a different drive then take a look at that
[23:31] <BlT> A-Non: are you using an external usb cdrom?
[23:31] <violinappren> ader10: it's the reverse!
[23:31] <rikkimaru> i have an ext3 partition. how do I tell if the journal was rebuilt during boot up?
[23:32] <A-Non> BlT: No, IDE internal drives
[23:32] <ader10> violinappren: who says I don't help :P
[23:32] <aeon-ltd> ader10: try installing the dependencies first it might resolve some of it
[23:32] <BlT> A-Non: ah ok cool...
[23:32] <violinappren> goku_: great, i use the violin ones for a js app
[23:33] <SlickRed> Ok...slightly more akward question. I bought an external DVD writer, which I could use to burn an ISO instead of using the USB creator. HOWEVER...when I try to do so Ubuntu thinks there is no disk in the drive
[23:33] <TalkingMinds> http://dj-monki.de:50000/listen.pls
[23:33] <gbillings> violinappren, my log for today http://pastebin.com/9qkG0gZd
[23:33] <goku_> violinappren: what app?
[23:33] <cyborgsmurf> ader10: yeah, I get that but what to do with it then... there is no run file or anything
[23:33] <BlT> A-Non: !ot | Talkingminds
[23:33] <BlT>  !ot | Talkingminds
[23:33] <violinappren> SlickRed: trying burning just using (in a terminal) : wodim /path/to/iso
[23:34] <JJ_> hi there i was told to submit my bug here as my chipset is experimental but i cannot seem to find how to do ir as i have no idea what the package is called to do what they tell me
[23:34] <JJ_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu < on here
[23:34] <ader10> cyborgsmurf: .tar.gz files are like .zip files, anything can be put in them. If the creator didn't put a run file in, there's no run file :P
[23:34] <violinappren> goku_: a small sheet reading tutor i'm making
[23:34] <SlickRed> violinappren: Thanks bud I'll give that a go
[23:34] <ader10> cyborgsmurf: is there a file called install.sh or Makefile?
[23:34] <goku_> violinappren: awesome!
[23:35] <cyborgsmurf> ader10: there are some install.sh files and stuff
[23:35] <neil_d> I am using a custom application launcher to run a terminal script... but when the script finishes the terminal disappears :( .... can I have it not disappear so I can read the output?
[23:35] <cyborgsmurf> ader10: yes
[23:35] <ader10> aeon-ltd: I can't install the dependencies, they depend on each other but try to overwrite each other
[23:35] <ader10> cyborgsmurf: check the readme file, it'll probably say to type sudo ./install.sh
[23:35] <monkey_dust> neil_d, use the terminal to type the command
[23:35] <BlT> neil_d: when you created the launcher did you mark it to run as a terminal app?
[23:36] <cyborgsmurf> ader10: allright...
[23:36] <A-Non> BlT: I get I/O errors with the other drive as well
[23:36] <neil_d> BlT: yes
[23:36] <BlT> A-Non: hmm.. do you see any errors from dmesg when you put the cdrom into the drive?
[23:36] <SlickRed> violinappren: "wodim: No such file or directory"
[23:36] <A-Non> BlT: I'm new to linux, I don't know what "dmesg" is
[23:37] <BlT> neil_d: so you selected "Application in Terminal"? when you created it
[23:37] <SlickRed> (And a bunch of other stuff)
[23:37] <neil_d> BlT: yes
[23:37] <ader10> cyborgsmurf: readme files usually tell you what to do
[23:37] <monkey_dust> SlickRed, type sudo apt-get install wodim
[23:37] <BlT> A-Non: sorry. Open a terminal from the Apps menu
[23:37] <BlT> A-Non: then type dmesg
[23:37] <SlickRed> ty monkey_dust (cool name btw)
[23:37] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_u: How can I make sure I have all the packages I need? Grub installed fine. ;)
[23:37] <BlT> A-Non: pastebin that for me
[23:37] <hiddenknowledge> :)*
[23:37] <aeon-ltd> ader10: this is quite the conundrum
[23:37] <cyborgsmurf> ader10: yeah so it seems... thank you :)
[23:37] <A-Non> BlT: These errors occur before the LiveCD even loads ubuntu =/
[23:37] <JJ_> hi there i was told to submit my bug here as my chipset is experimental but i cannot seem to find how to do ir as i have no idea what the package is called to do what they tell me

[23:38] <violinappren> gbillings: is your wireless chip a usb stick ?
[23:38] <hiddenknowledge> Jordan_U: Ok, thank you. :)
[23:38] <Jordan_U> hiddenknowledge: You're welcome.
[23:38] <Laggie> I need to exchange my raid1 to new hdd. Since it is located in a server hall I need to be as fast as possible in doing the switch, so is this the fastest way to do this? Backup the entire partition before, install new harddrives, setup raid, parttion, install ubuntu and then extract backup and overwrite all content and done?
[23:38] <BlT> A-Non: hmm, have you tried a new cd
[23:38] <gbillings_> violinappren, any ideas?
[23:38] <cyborgsmurf> sorry have to quit this, can only use 20GB a month then it goes down to 14 kbps
[23:39] <A-Non> BlT: I have tried multiple CDs yeah
[23:39] <violinappren> gbillings_: is your wireless chip a usb stick ?
[23:39] <BlT> A-Non: armm....
[23:39] <aeon-ltd> ader10: you should probably report this, or try to find something that only needs one of them as dependencies as a way to break the infinite loop
[23:39] <gbillings_> violinappren, yes
[23:39] <cyborgsmurf> ader10: again thanks :)
[23:39] <A-Non> BlT: I have also attempted to boot from USB, it freezes up on a normal ISO but using the netboot ISO, I can get all the way to formatting where it freezes at 33%
[23:39] <ader10> aeon-ltd: Where do I report it to?
[23:39] <ader10> cyborgsmurf: glad to help
[23:40] <violinappren> JJ_: select 'linux' as the package
[23:40] <aeon-ltd> ader10: rtorrent, ubuntu/xubuntu devs
[23:40] <BlT> A-Non: bad memory?
[23:40] <neil_d> BlT: just created a new test one... and made sure I had 'application in terminal' selected it did the same thing.
[23:40] <ader10> aeon-ltd: alright
[23:40] <BlT> neil_d:  yea I just tried it to.
[23:40] <A-Non> BlT: I ran memtest86+ and did get a small failure, however it didn't reappear on subsequent tests...
[23:40] <BlT> neil_d: didn't work for me either.
[23:41] <BlT> A-Non: hmm, only other thing I can come up with is  the hd controller. cables?
[23:41] <violinappren> gbillings_: seems the connection goes down when the firmware gets loaded.. file a bug
[23:41] <violinappren> !bug | gbillings_
[23:41] <SlickRed> monkey_dust: sorry...i'm new to linux. wodim is already the latest version
[23:41] <aeon-ltd> ader10: saved you time, you could just do it here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs
[23:41] <BlT> neil_d: yea it might just be easier to run it from a term... =)
[23:41] <gbillings_> violinappren, will updating to the latest version help me at all?
[23:41] <SlickRed> I think this is because its an external DVD drive I just bought. It's supposed to be plug and play but maybe not with linux?
[23:41] <A-Non> BlT: What would you have me change in terms of the cables?
[23:42] <violinappren> gbillings_: probably yes
[23:42] <ader10> aeon-ltd: perfect, thanks :)
[23:42] <gbillings_> violinappren, okay, i will try that now
[23:42] <BlT> A-Non: well ide cables go bad, even if they are new sometimes the pin connectors aren't connected all the way. Have any spares?
[23:42] <gbillings_> violinappren, i found this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/528160
[23:42] <gbillings_> sounds odly similar
[23:43] <SlickRed> Ah he's gone :/  ... Anyone else have any experience with external dvd drives in ubuntu?
[23:43] <A-Non> BlT: I have like 3 old Compaq presario 5000s I could rummage through to find some spares, let me take a look
[23:43] <violinappren> SlickRed: did you type correctly wodim your.iso ?
[23:43] <pompato> Hi all. I have a question that concernes ubuntu as well as the C language, so I first try to post it here.
[23:43] <violinappren> !who | SlickRed
[23:43] <SlickRed> violin: wodim /home/ubuntu/Downloads/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso
[23:44] <SlickRed> Ubottu: Understood (sorry new to IRC also...I feel so lost... :/ )
[23:44] <violinappren> gbillings_: yes very likely related
[23:44] <happyface> ader10: Jordan_U: I want it so another bootloader can boot to grub (much like grub can boot to windows' bootloader)
[23:44] <new2ubuntu> Greetings, I'm having a hard time installing gnomenu on 10.03. http://pastebin.com/6R7kmFQS Can ne1 help?
[23:45] <glick> hey does anyone know why on my eeepc when i attach a monitor and open prefences->display both displays turn black
[23:45] <violinappren> SlickRed: and it what does it return ?
[23:45] <BlT> brb
[23:45] <glick> with a mouse pointer on them
[23:45] <pompato> I'm member of a security class. I'm not pretending to hack something in any way, but could anyone please help me to figure out why buffer overflows exploiting (correct, also with -fno-stack-protector cxxflag enabled) result in a segmentation fault
[23:45] <hiddenknowledge> !help
[23:45] <gbillings_> violinappren, i also have a usb wireless keyboard/mouse plugged in at the same time as the usb wifi. Why would the USB webcam affect the wifi and not the keyboard/mouse?
[23:46] <Jordan_U> happyface: What other bootloader? A more reliable way to accomplish that, which can be done from most open source bootloaders, is to use multiboot and load the /boot/grub/core.img.
[23:46] <Dulak> happyface: you want to chainload then, that's what it's called, chainloading
[23:46] <SlickRed> violinappren: A bunch of stuff I'd rather not spam here...no write mode specified. asuming -tao mode. cannot open SCSI driver!
[23:46] <hiddenknowledge> How do I use ubottu, or where can I get help using it?
[23:46] <violinappren> !ot | pompato, ask in #gcc
[23:46] <Kahlua1> My system was updated yesterday. But there's a notification on my system tray and if I click it, it fires up the update manager and it says my system was updated 32 days ago... Is there something wrong with my system?
[23:46] <pompato> ok
[23:46] <ader10> happyface: I don't see why you need another, but if you really need it, search around for chainloading (that's the term used for multiple boot loaders)
[23:46] <neil_d> I am using a custom application launcher to run a terminal script... but when the script finishes the terminal disappears :( .... can I have it not disappear so I can read the output?
[23:46] <Dulak> hiddenknowledge: just open a query window to the bot and type !help

[23:48] <violinappren> SlickRed: sudo wodim name.iso
[23:48] <hiddenknowledge> Dulak: That didn't help me? It answers with the !ask response.
[23:48] <happyface> ader10: it's for loading OSX86 using a more compatible loader... thanks for the help!

[23:54] <Dulak> FailDroid: do you get the menu with the windows option when you boot?

[23:56] <ibnarrashid> FailDroid: If you can use ubunut, you should have a porgram called "gparted" showing your layout

[23:57] <FailDroid> I give up on my compuer
