[12:34] <sacarlson> Ankur: can your system boot a live ubuntu cd or do you have a usb flash disk that's about 1 gig to install a ubuntu boot on?
[12:34] <Ankur> well is there no way that  i could add ubuntu option in boot.ini of Windows after installing wubi inside windows . any way out? i have all my keys of launchpad and git's in that partition only.Setting up everything again would be a daunting task :(
[12:34] <Ankur> yes , my system could do both :)
[12:34] <Ankur> sacarlson: ^^
[12:34] <phlak_user> Ankur: ive never used Wubi so cant help;
[12:35] <glebihan> IEJHTUIEHUI: from the top of the web page, you can download the source for your driver
[12:35] <bahaa> can someone help me with that error ? Reading package lists... Done

[12:35] <bahaa> Reading state information... Done

[12:35] <NET||abuse> hey can anyone help me connect my netbook remix eeepc to the wifi, it keeps failing and re-displaying the wpa password dialog.
[12:35] <Ankur> phlak_user:  thanks for trying and giving my problem a patient hearing :)
[12:35] <sacarlson> phlak_user: isn't wubi still installing grub?  If not then I'm not sure if my method would help ankur
[12:36] <IEJHTUIEHUI> i did download the source thingy and extract it before once, but i deleted it, the read me file made no sense to me
[12:36] <loopool> glebihan, it's installed, but it says 'hardware present: No'
[12:36] <tschundeee> rvm on ubuntu 10.04.1 Server (32 Bit) doesn't install right... irb is not working in an rvm install 1.9.2 ruby
[12:36] <IEJHTUIEHUI> ok, downloaded it again and opened it
[12:36] <rravisha> i just installed lucid lynx on my mac book pro and my sound is not outputted
[12:36] <tschundeee> o_O bug or my fault?
[12:36] <rravisha> any ideas
[12:36] <phlak_user> sacarlson: Ankur as per my understanding, wubi just creates a large file to simulate ubuntu (but i could be wrong)
[12:36] <glebihan> IEJHTUIEHUI: once you've extracted the files, run "make" and then "make install" from the path where you extracted it
[12:37] <phlak_user> !wubi
[12:37] <glebihan> loopool: which one did you install ?
[12:37] <loopool> glebihan, the Windows (XP) one, the linux one wouldn't download for me
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> IEJHTUIEHUI:  that download it seems is not actually 'drivers' just some tools used to tweak the devices.
[12:37] <Ankur> phlak_user:  i think yes , wubi creates a large file enough to simulate a sperate partition from which ubunti can be booted
[12:37] <darrend> hello.. anyone tell me where mod_dav_svn is in Lucid pls? (which repo needs enabling or package needs installing)?
[12:37] <ylmfos>  你说什么呢
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> IEJHTUIEHUI:  reading the README in -> http://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/get/tip.tar.bz2
[12:37] <ylmfos> 能说中文吗
[12:38] <Ankur> sacarlson:  what was your method ?
[12:38] <Izinucs> !cn
[12:38] <glebihan> loopool: did you try the different mirrors for the linux one (the first one didn't work for me either, but the second one did)
[12:38] <KalEl> wouldn't you be better off with a virtual machine
[12:38] <ylmfos> what you said?
[12:38] <loopool> glebihan, I didn't; will give them a try
[12:38] <pfifo> morning Dr_Willis
[12:38] <IEJHTUIEHUI> I got the link to that download here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams
[12:38] <bahaa> how can i install this package E: Couldn't find package libboost1.41-dev
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> IEJHTUIEHUI:  the readme in that archive i posted. gives the exact commands needed to install the stuff.
[12:39] <awayguy> i had a double partition. working ubuntu 64bit side by side with vista 64bit partition. i installed win7 64bit on vista partition. now ubuntu doesnt start. i cant see that partition, but there is 50gb of space on which ubuntu is intalled. ho to fix that, so that i can run ubuntu and 7 side by side?
[12:39] <sacarlson> phlak_user: I think your right.  well my method would be to try to recover grub with a bootable usb flash.  but in this case you might just us it to reinstall ubuntu.
[12:39] <bahaa> can anyone care about me :(
[12:39] <ylmfos> afternoon anyone
[12:39] <rravisha> sound does not work on my macbook pro after i installed ubuntu
[12:39] <rravisha> help me?
[12:40] <phlak_user> Ankur: if you use wubi to reinstall, you could check if it recognizes the existing wubi file
[12:40] <glebihan> bahaa: if seems that the version in the repos is libboost1.40-dev
[12:40] <pfifo> rravisha, unmute the mixer channels
[12:40] <rravisha> its unmuted
[12:40] <pfifo> rravisha, all of them?
[12:41] <rravisha> yea
[12:41] <glebihan> bahaa: you may find what you need there : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/libboost1.41-dev/1.41.0-3ubuntu2
[12:41] <Ankur> phlak_user:  i was thinking of changing name f earlier file and reinstalling ubuntu under windows and then replace the new file with the old one.BUt any shorter method than that , like editing any syste, file o something?
[12:42] <phlak_user> darrend: libapache2-svn (you can get this info by typing sudo apt-cache search mod_dav_svn)
[12:42] <phlak_user> Ankur: havent used windows at all so cant help sorry :(
[12:43] <sacarlson> Ankur: we're not familure with wubi so this is what I did find http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-the-easy-way/
[12:44] <phlak_user> Ankur: but this might help --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide if you scroll way  down to "How can i access my Wubi install and repair my install if it wont boot"
[12:44] <ysj003> 有没有chinases阿？
[12:44] <phlak_user> !cn| ysj003
[12:44] <loopool> glebihan, the linux one has download... how do I go about installing it?
[12:44] <bahaa> zaher:thnx for ur help
[12:44] <Ankur> sacarlson:  thanks for link , but i want to know when i choose install inside windows option from ubuntu iso , what does that mean , do you have any idea . I mean it will help me
[12:44] <puwei> Ankur   how about reinstall ubuntu in WINxp ,may be wubi will ask you  "new reinstall ?" or "use the old one "  lol
[12:45] <glebihan> loopool: open a terminal and cd to the folder where you extracted the files
[12:45] <glebihan> loopool: then run "make; sudo make install"
[12:47] <bahaa> glebihan:thnx for ur help i cant find alot of that packages that i need it to compile some projects :S
[12:47]  * Mark2 pokes his Wacom tablet in vain: the light is on but no one is home :(
[12:47] <puwei> that's just some advise , i'm not familir with wubi
[12:47] <glebihan> bahaa: you're welcome
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> bahaa:  if an older version is in the repos. often you can use the 'build-deps' option to the apt-get command to pull in all needed devs - But those may not be the latest versions
[12:48] <sacarlson> Ankur: the iso is like the boot cd image of ubuntu.  I guess the loader can install different versions with different iso files.
[12:49] <bahaa> dr_willis, and how can i use build-deps with the apt-get ?
[12:49] <bahaa> dr_willis, apt-get build-deps ,,,,,, etc ?
[12:51] <phlak_user> !controls
[12:52] <tracy69> !seen someone
[12:52] <tracy69> quiet today over here

[12:55] <benjaminzedrine> hello channel
[12:56] <tracy69> benjaminzedrine, welcome to the underground
[12:56] <benjaminzedrine> I've got a 10.04 CD 32 bit install for ubuntu, but it wont seem to install... gets to finalisation then just sort of hangs. Mouse still works, keyboard still works. But if it's straight install just has the purple screen, and if it's ' try first ' then install, just goes back to the desktop. Clues?
[12:57] <bahaa> glebihan,thnx for ur help :D
[12:57] <benjaminzedrine> Doesn't come up with errors or anything, just does nothing.
[12:57] <glebihan> bahaa: np, any time
[12:58] <loopool> glebihan: could you help me install the linux driver please? I googled around for how to cd to the file, but none of the things that I have found have helped..
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> bahaa:  yep thats the basics of it.
[12:59] <glebihan> loopool: did you extract the files ?
[12:59] <loopool> yes
[12:59] <gschwepp> loopool: filename?
[12:59] <glebihan> loopool: where to ?
[12:59] <loopool> in '/home/lewis/Documents' - file name is "rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0705.2010"
[13:00] <bahaa> dr_willis;thnx for ur help :)
[13:00] <glebihan> loopool: so open a terminal and type "cd /home/lewis/Documents/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0705.2010"
[13:00] <glebihan> loopool: then "make" and "sudo make install"
[13:01] <industrial> Is there an editor that runs on Ubuntu that can do 'Go To File' from Textmate on OS X?
[13:01] <redbullfx> anyone tell me how to get rid of  username on top panel but keep the turn off button? lucid....
[13:02] <gschwepp> glebihan: what does loopool want to  install?
[13:03] <benjaminzedrine> presumably nobody's seen that one before? Where after ' ready to install ' it just doesn't install.
[13:03] <gschwepp> redbullfx: right klick remove works fine here
[13:04] <gschwepp> benjaminzedrine: never heard about that. neither did i ever try to install from live disc.
[13:04] <loopool> glebihan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/489754/
[13:04] <ylmfos> ???
[13:05] <no--name> where are the themes that come with ubuntu stored? they are not in ~/.themes
[13:06] <Pici> no--name: /usr/share/themes/
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> no--name:  .themes would be user downloaded/personlized themes..
[13:06] <no--name> Thanks :)

[13:09] <RanyAlbeg> Hello, I want to format all my hard drives with fat32.I have four hard drives sd{a..d}. / is mounted on sda and i don't know how to format it and also it is even possible.I know how to handle all other three hard drives but need help formatting sda.
[13:09] <handjob_> Hi. When I run 'sudo apt-get update' I get this strange  error : 'Error http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security  Release.gpg Could not translate name "security.ubuntu.com"  and so on. Any idea what can cause it?
[13:10] <glebihan> loopool: well, that's odd, compilation works fine here, but we're going to try something else
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  You need to figure out what partitions on 'sda' you want to format. and what you are wanting to do exactly. You want to erase the sda and make a single fat32 partition on it?
[13:12] <glebihan> loopool: from the same path, run "cp -rf firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware/2.6.31-22-generic"
[13:12] <glebihan> loopool: use "sudo"
[13:12] <CB6> Any idea why ubuntu would have a flickering underscore after "kernel_thread_helper" and just pause there from bootable media?
[13:13] <RanyAlbeg> Dr_Willis: Yes. i have only one partiton on sda ( sda1 ) which is dedicated for the entire disk.
[13:13] <CB6> cd drive doesn't appear to be making any noise
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  You have linuix on it now? and want to totally delete it? or what exactly?
[13:14] <Putr> Helo!
[13:14] <loopool> glebihan, as in "sudo cp -rf firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware/2.6.31-22-generic" ?
[13:14] <CB6> I want to run live OS actually
[13:14] <CB6> never tried it before
[13:14] <RanyAlbeg> Dr_Willis: I want to format it with fat32
[13:14] <Rout> help me .. how to uninstall openssh server n client ?
[13:14] <glebihan> loopool: yes
[13:14] <CB6> Knoppix didn't load the 3.4GB properly either it stopped @ shell and went black
[13:15] <RanyAlbeg> Dr_Willis: Its a problem for me because this is the / dir
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  use fdisk to delete the partition on it. and remake it to be fat32. then use sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  or use gparted.
[13:15] <loopool> glebihan, nothing happened
[13:15] <Putr> I have 4 disk drives in my ubuntu comp (it's acting like a file server). Would it be posible to shutdown disks when they are not needed/not active
[13:15] <phlak_user> Rout: sudo apt-get remove openssh-server openssh-client
[13:15] <CB6> ctrl+alt+del doesn't appear to have any effect either
[13:15] <Rout> ok wait
[13:15] <CB6> lame
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> Putr:  mine do spin down. theres a setting in the power saveeings  control applet to handle it.
[13:16] <Putr> Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll check it out
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> Putr:  they can take a few sec to spin back up if i access them. Which can be a bother.
[13:16] <glebihan> loopool: that's normal, as long as you didn't get an error message, we're good
[13:17] <glebihan> loopool: now run "sudo ./wlan0up"
[13:17] <Rout> ok now im gonna install them back .. can i install only ssh-server for my users to connect to my ubuntu ?
[13:17] <phlak_user> Rout: yes
[13:17] <Rout> thank you
[13:17] <RanyAlbeg> Dr_Willis: Will it be just as easy? I'm afraid of deleting the /
[13:17] <Putr> Dr_Willis: ye but but if they're running for hours and hours and spining.. that cant bee good for them. I use it for long termn storage, i will not die if they take a few secs to spiin up
[13:17] <CB6> Anyone heard of Knoppix or Ubuntu not working on Toshiba Sattelite laptops?
[13:17] <ziroday> CB6: what system are we talking about here? Do you have a model number?
[13:18] <CB6> you bet, Toshiba Sattelite L655
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  you neer really said wehre your / is at.. You said you wanted to format sda1 to be vfat...
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  so where IS / located at?
[13:18] <RanyAlbeg> Dr_Willis: the / directory is mounted on sda1
[13:19] <Rout> ok now its installed n running.. when i netstat -tulpn it shows tcp6       0      0 ::1:631                 :::*                    LISTEN      1051/cupsd
[13:19] <CB6> It's got an i3 processor and integrated intel GPU I believe
[13:19] <Rout> why its ::1:631 ?
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:   then you basically just said you wanted to format it to fat32 that would delete it.. so somthing is unclear here.
[13:20] <RanyAlbeg> Dr_Willis: I wonder if it is possible. I want it to be formatted under fat32.
[13:21] <suigeneris> when I do a for s in *.srt; do iconv -f ISO-8859-9 -t UTF-8 "$s" --output "$s", I get many "Bus error"s. why is that?
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  I think you are using wrong terms.. or some other missunderstanding.. Your / cant be a fat32..  if you want to REFORMAT - that will erase it.. if you want to 'convert to fat32 and keep existing data' thats NOT reformating..
[13:21] <Rout> why its 613 .. its supposed to be 22 rite ?
[13:21] <tjubaluba> my sound "device" or software seems to have stopped ... can it be restarted somehow?
[13:22] <RanyAlbeg> Dr_Willis: Oh, sorry. I actually want to convert to fat32 while keeping all data.Is it possible?
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  you cant have a working linux system with / being fat32
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  at least not that ive ever seen
[13:22] <loopool> glebihan, sudo: ./wlan0up: command not found
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:  you could perhaps somehow convert.. but i dont see why you would want to
[13:23] <rob_p> Rout: That's CUPS, not SSH
[13:23] <glebihan> loopool: are you still in /home/lewis/Documents/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0705.2010 ?
[13:23] <Rout> rob_p but how i want to see the ssh is running ?

[13:23] <CB6>  it's completely unresponsive
[13:23] <FloodBot3> CB6: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:24] <loopool> glebihan, yes. i did it again, and it jumped to the next line without any error messages
[13:24] <glebihan> loopool: ok good

[13:26] <rob_p> Rout: It *should* be there.  If not, go look at logs for clues...
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> RanyAlbeg:   on a linux fileserver, you dont really need to make a fat32 filesystem to 'share' in fact. shareing a fat32 fs may make the shareing harder.
[13:27] <Rout> something is wrong
[13:27] <RanyAlbeg> Dr_Willis: Thank you very much.
[13:27] <loopool> glebihan, same result
[13:28] <rob_p> Rout: Did you change anything in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file?
[13:29] <tracy69> guys what plugin-containe is responsible for ?
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> tracy69:  clarify that question.

[13:29] <tracy69> it sometimes poop up in top and it use 70% of the cpu
[13:29] <rob_p> Rout: Also, make sure your /etc/default/ssh config isn't disallowing it to start.
[13:29] <tracy69> 10.04
[13:30] <tracy69> after i kill it everything work again

[13:42] <glebihan> loopool: no forget it, won't work
[13:42] <Ar|stote|is> can i add the ubuntu gnome user interface on my unr installation so it will look more like my desktop computer when i feel like it?
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> Ar|stote|is:  you can install both and use GDM to select what desktopp to use at login
[13:43] <Ar|stote|is> i just have to go to synaptic and add gnome?
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> Ar|stote|is:  'ubuntu-desktop'
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> Ar|stote|is:  if you want the full desktop
[13:44] <Ar|stote|is> will it reduce the sharpness and responsiveness of the netbook ? I have heard that sometimes the desktop edition is "lighter/faster" than the netbook one
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> Ar|stote|is:  you are going to run ONE or the other... not both at teh same time
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> Ar|stote|is:  netbook interface is a little lighter i guess.. but i run the full ubuntu on my netbooks all teh time
[13:46] <pie_time> hey Dr_Willis is speaking leet
[13:46] <pie_time> can anyone tell me if there is a good program that can be integrated into ubuntu as a background calendar daemon that will alert you of appointments at a future time and date?
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> pie_time:  not really - i got a broken finger from years back.. i type funny
[13:46] <loopool> glebihan, what now? :/
[13:46] <itbcn8> lol
[13:46] <glebihan> loopool: hold on, I'm trying something
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> and i dont care to set up a auto-spell checker for weechat :)
[13:47] <Ar|stote|is> i just wanted to have the desktop feel. i mean a visible wallpaper my computer and folders aligned and not some huge icons. other than that im pretty happy with the current installation. for what i want to do is it better to install ubuntu-desktop or perform a clean install from scratch ?
[13:48] <morris1> gtranslator crashes whenever i try to open a file because it is missing /usr/share/pixmaps/gtranslator/gtranslator.png and segfaults. i installed it with sudo apt-get install gtranslator
[13:49] <glebihan> loopool: ok, another try
[13:49] <glebihan> loopool: from the same path, first run "sudo su"
[13:49] <iceroot> glebihan: loopool never run sudo su!!
[13:50] <Seppoz> im sorry but none of those packages added a digital clock screensaver
[13:50] <pie_time> hi
[13:50] <pie_time> can anyone tell me if there is a good program that can be integrated into ubuntu as a background calendar daemon that will alert you of appointments at a future time and date?
[13:50] <whatlinux> hello
[13:50] <pie_time> can evolution do this
[13:50] <glebihan> iceroot, loopool: well so far, it's the only I managed to make it work, and that's the instructions in the package's readme
[13:50] <iceroot> glebihan: its sudo -i, not sudo su
[13:50] <whatlinux> quick question, can ubuntu be made to fit into 1gb~ of disk space?
[13:51] <iceroot> pie_time: evolution, kontact
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> whatlinux:  barely :)
[13:51] <pie_time> whatlinux, yes!
[13:51] <whatlinux> my main hdd got fried and i'm stuck with a 1.5gb
[13:51] <whatlinux> hdd
[13:51] <pie_time> !minimal | whatlinux
[13:51] <Licuadora> In the senso applet for Gnome, what are the "tem1, temp2, temp3" for?
[13:51] <whatlinux> and my dev files are about 500~mb
[13:51] <Licuadora> what do the measure?
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> whatlinux:   theres some mini variants that may make it easier. Not sure about Luibuntu
[13:51] <Seppoz> hello, is there a digital clock screensaver for ubuntu/gnome?
[13:51] <whatlinux> kind of like debia's netinst?
[13:51] <glebihan> iceroot: it's the same thing
[13:51] <iceroot> glebihan: no
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> whatlinux:  we said it could fit.. :) not that it could do everything.
[13:52] <whatlinux> yeah
[13:52] <gschwepp> whatlinux: you need xwindow?
[13:52] <whatlinux> experienced that with debian netinst
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> whatlinux:   your apt cache will get large also..
[13:52] <whatlinux> yeah i do
[13:52] <pie_time> thanks iceroot
[13:52] <whatlinux> can't stand vi/commandline
[13:52] <Routers> Jordan_U : are still there ?
[13:52] <whatlinux> and i make GUI java apps anyway
[13:52] <iceroot> glebihan: sudo su is setting the environment incorrect
[13:52] <morris1> correction: gtranslator just segfaults everytime i try to open a file
[13:52] <Licuadora> There is one at -128.
[13:52] <loopool> glebihan, i typed in sudo su and nothing happened, it just changed the bit before I type.
[13:52] <Licuadora> temp3 -128c
[13:52] <Licuadora> what is that?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> whatlinux:  doing 'development' may be very very tight.
[13:53] <whatlinux> i tried deb netinst and after installing xorg, all the pkgs i need - i had 52mb of space left Xd
[13:53] <whatlinux> xorg & all the pkgs srry
[13:53] <glebihan> loopool: follow iceroot's advice and run "sudo -i" instead
[13:53] <gschwepp> whatlinux: buy new hdd?
[13:53] <laieman> Hi. Is it possible to use single sign logon (SSO) using lighttpd and Active Directory where both servers are on different servers. I guess the webserver need to do a LDAP-connection, but is it possible?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> whatlinux:  you could check out 'tiny core linux'  with X its 10mb.. but then you got to install what you want.
[13:53] <iceroot> laieman: and why you need a root-shell?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> whatlinux:  even a 16gb flash drive is affordable these days
[13:53] <iceroot> loopool: and why you need a root-shell?
[13:53] <iceroot> laieman: sorry wronmg nick
[13:53] <whatlinux> heh i don't have a budget for a new hd
[13:53] <Routers> Jordan_U : i paste u the error when installing the openssh server
[13:54] <whatlinux> oooh tht reminds me
[13:54] <glebihan> iceroot: he's installing a driver for his wireless card
[13:54] <whatlinux> i have a REALLY old laptop with a 10gb hdd
[13:54] <Routers> Jordan_U : http://pastebin.com/1YWAZMEB
[13:54] <Ar|stote|is> this may be off-topic but has anyone used ubuntu with the asus eee pc 1008p ?
[13:54] <glebihan> iceroot: won't work with sudo
[13:54] <whatlinux> can i install buntu to that and just boot the laptop from desktop as if it's an internal drive?
[13:54] <iceroot> glebihan: hm
[13:54] <Licuadora> thank you very  much
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> Ar|stote|is:  theres some netbook specific forums/threads/wiki pages  on the ubuntu forums also i recall
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> whatlinux:  ive booted ubuntu from a extrnal usb drive befor..  ir thats what you are asking..
[13:55] <gschwepp> whatlinux: think so. you just have to get it into your boot sequence
[13:55] <glebihan> iceroot: surprised me too, but the source is trustworthy, it comes from the constructor's website
[13:56] <whatlinux> dr_willis, no
[13:56] <no--name> hi. a while ago i asked where to find themes and got my answer :) (/usr/share/themes), can anyone tell me where to find my installed theme ENGINES? thanks :>
[13:56] <whatlinux> only 2gb flash drive
[13:56] <suigeneris> I converted a video and embedded subtitles under ubuntu with HandBrakeCLI but the subtitles aren't visible under Windows. any ideas why?
[13:56] <iceroot> glebihan: i only know one thing where sudo is not working   sudo echo "foobar" > bar # not working because of the >
[13:56] <whatlinux> gschwepp what do you mean ?
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> no--name:  if your user installs them  for theirself its in their .themes directory
[13:56] <whatlinux> i have a PXE network boot option in my desktop BIOS
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> no--name:  i use gnome-art-ng to install tons of themes for my 'user' :) i dont install them system wide
[13:56] <glebihan> iceroot: well so far, so did I...
[13:57] <no--name> Dr_Willis: yeah, I'm looking for the ones that come with ubuntu so I can copy them
[13:57] <no--name> to put on another OS
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> no--name:  as far as i know they are all mixxed into the /usr/share/themes directory
[13:57] <steffen__> anybody has an idea how to get the rhythmbox-indicator back under lucid in 0.13.1?
[13:57] <rsouthard> How can i get postgresql in my path?
[13:57] <Ar|stote|is> Dr_Willis, I found all the information regarding that one netbook on the forums but it wasn't much specific unlike the t101mt that i currently have. I just wanted someone to tell me first-hand his experience if there is anyone here
[13:57] <Routers> some one help me what is my prob about openssh
[13:58] <no--name> Dr_Willis: looks like I got my answer on ##linux, thanks anyway
[13:58] <gschwepp> whatlinux: if you boot your system from a 10 gb usb stick you must config your bios ...
[13:58] <glebihan> loopool: so, where are we ?
[13:58] <lucas-arg> hello, gnome-bluetooth is not detecting my bluetooth card... i have an hp laptop dv6, dont know whats goin on
[13:58] <whatlinux> it's not a usb stick~~
[13:58] <whatlinux> here's my setup atm
[13:58] <whatlinux> desktop w/ 1.5gb hdd
[13:58] <gschwepp> whatlinux: so if you use a external hdd via usb. you can boot it if you get it into your bootsequence in you bios
[13:58] <whatlinux> laptop w/ 10gb hdd
[13:59] <whatlinux> i don't have a usb converter adapter thing
[13:59] <whatlinux> enclosure? whatever ou call it
[13:59] <Routers> Jordan_U : where are u bro ?
[13:59] <whatlinux> i've heard you can PXE boot ubuntu, but i'm not sure how easy that would be
[14:00] <whatlinux> like, have the entire fs on the laptop
[14:00] <gschwepp> whatlinux: you must connect you 10 gb hdd in any way to your computer. if you want to boot it.
[14:00] <whatlinux> :(
[14:00] <lucas-arg> !bluetooth
[14:01] <Routers> !ssh
[14:01] <Routers> !sshd
[14:01] <whatlinux> alright then, does anyone happen to know of (installed size, not compressed size) under 1gb ubuntu-based linuxes?
[14:02] <whatlinux> i know about DSL, but that is too trimmed down, plus it uses 2.4 kernel
[14:02] <AnxiousNut> help. on my desktop pc, my mouse and keyboard stopped functioning suddenly while gnome is working seamlessly! conky is working, clock is working, switching to virtual terminals is working! Something weird happened to gnome. Please help, i havent saved my files! Thanks
[14:02] <whatlinux> i wouldnt be able to develop anything :p
[14:02] <whatlinux> AnxiousNut, try unplugging/replugging mouse or keyboard
[14:03] <whatlinux> worked with me on windows before
[14:03] <loopool> glebihan, the same thing happened... it just changes the bit i type with?
[14:03] <gschwepp> whatlinux: how tiny are your developed files?
[14:03] <whatlinux> erm, i need about 300mb~ space
[14:03] <glebihan> loopool: yes, that's normal, now rerun the "cd" command to go back to the correct folder
[14:03] <whatlinux> cause Java SDK is 250~ ish
[14:03] <whatlinux> and 50mb is ok i suppose for the programs
[14:04] <c3l> how do I use aptitude to install multiple packages listed in a file?
[14:04] <glebihan> loopool: ie "cd /home/lewis/Documents/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0705.2010"
[14:04] <whatlinux> personally, i love puppy linux, am on it now, but it'd be soooo cool to have apt-get :)
[14:04] <loopool> glebihan, done. Now?
[14:04] <glebihan> loopool: "make clean"
[14:04] <whatlinux> it's only about 260mb~ with devel files (minus the java sdk)
[14:05] <whatlinux> devel files like gcc, perl, python, etc...
[14:05] <tasslehoff> !file makeinfo
[14:05] <loopool> glebihan, and now?
[14:05] <glebihan> loopool: "make"
[14:05] <gschwepp> whatlinux: this is really hard ;) but very interesting LSF ;)
[14:05] <glebihan> loopool: and then "make install"
[14:05] <whatlinux> er... LSF?
[14:05] <whatlinux> i haven't been on IRCs recently so im out of the loop on abbreviations
[14:06] <whatlinux> google says it means "lost souls forever" O.o
[14:07] <loopool> glebihan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/489786/
[14:07] <loopool> glebihan, now what?
[14:07] <whatlinux> btw, i also tried slax linux, works very nicely but the package repos are limited compared to debian/ubuntu's
[14:07] <whatlinux> loved the kde in it too
[14:08] <geirha> whatlinux: gschwepp probably meant LFS (linux from scratch)
[14:08] <glebihan> loopool: ok, seems to have worked, now you'll have to reboot in order to load the new module
[14:08] <Routers> gschwepp : help me pls
[14:08] <whatlinux> ah ok, thanks
[14:08] <loopool> glebihan, cheers :)
[14:08] <whatlinux> Routers,, what ya need?
[14:08] <Routers> i cant use my open ssh server
[14:08] <gschwepp>  linux from scratch
[14:08] <whatlinux> i've been dealingg with routers a lot lately, internet sharing, and loads of other crap
[14:09] <geirha> whatlinux: I went through LFS myself, and my knowledge of linux skyrocketed ;)
[14:09] <Routers> whatlinux : http://pastebin.com/1YWAZMEB
[14:09] <whatlinux> nice :)
[14:09] <Routers> thats came out when im installing the openssh
[14:09] <gschwepp> whatlinux: linux from scratch :) lfs ... compile all yourself
[14:09] <whatlinux> hell no
[14:09] <Routers> ?
[14:10] <whatlinux> i have a 750mhz processor w/ 640mb ram
[14:10] <whatlinux> on my main pc
[14:10] <Pici> !ot
[14:10] <whatlinux> i'd die compiling everything :p
[14:10] <gschwepp> you get the most little system possible ;)
[14:10] <whatlinux> heh
[14:10] <Routers> wth
[14:10] <Pici> Routers: Whats the problem? It looks like it installed fine.
[14:10] <gschwepp> you can start with kernel compilatoin
[14:10] <whatlinux> i agree with Pici
[14:10] <gschwepp> Routers: ? me?
[14:11] <beli> or use a source based distro like sourcemage
[14:11] <phuzion> What's the command to show a few lines before and after a result if I'm searching a textfile for something?
[14:11] <whatlinux> i have two other desktops, but they have like little to no ram
[14:11] <phuzion> say I want the context of the searched item
[14:11] <Routers> Pici : but when i start it .. it is shows OK .. but when i netstat -tulpn its not there
[14:11] <whatlinux> phuzion: grep ?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> phuzion:  grep may have that option.
[14:11] <whatlinux> aah
[14:11] <whatlinux> :D i suppose I'm a linux guru now
[14:11] <whatlinux> lolz
[14:11] <gschwepp> whatlinux: because you know grep?
[14:12] <whatlinux> no, because i answered faster than a real guru ;)
[14:12] <Pici> Routers: It won't show the process name there because its running as root. sudo netstat -tulpn   will.
[14:12] <Routers> wait
[14:12] <Pici> phuzion: The -n argument for grep will show n lines around the matched string.
[14:12] <whatlinux> well anyway, thanks for the help gschwepp, i guess I'll stick with lucid puppy
[14:13] <d4rkc4st> Hello is there anyone familiar with grub2? I am unable to get the 'savedefault' feature working with Grub 1.98 ....
[14:13] <gschwepp> whatlinux: he wrote a whole sentence and you 1 word with an questionmark ;)
[14:13] <phuzion> Pici: thanks
[14:13] <whatlinux> and everyone else that helped, for that matter
[14:13] <Routers> pici : im in root now .. already did that .. its still not showing
[14:13] <natthu> Hi, I am currently using 10.04. I have a broadcom wireless adapter, for which even the proprietary drivers that ubuntu provides do not work. So, I have compiled the drivers by downloading the source. If I upgrade to 10.10 now, will these drivers have to be recompiled?
[14:13] <whatlinux> O.o

[14:14] <natthu> thanks all
[14:14] <Pici> Routers: Can you ssh into yourself?
[14:14] <whatlinux> if i format my HDD with ext2 and name it "caspar-rw" and boot from livecd adding the "persistent" option on boot, will it save my files/settings on reboot?
[14:14] <whatlinux> (i have a ubuntu 8.10 book nearby :p)
[14:14] <Routers> Pici : how ?
[14:15] <gschwepp> whatlinux: how do you format you hdd? th 1.5 gb one?
[14:15] <whatlinux> ya
[14:15] <geirha> whatlinux: casper-rw I believe, but yes, it should detect it and store changes to it.
[14:15] <Pici> Routers: as your user: ssh localhost
[14:15] <whatlinux> sweet!
[14:15] <whatlinux> so i could boot Xubuntu 10.04 and save settings O.o
[14:15] <Routers> Pici : what is the exactly command
[14:16] <Routers> what im supposed to do
[14:16] <Pici> Routers: I just told you.
[14:16] <Routers> ssh localhost
[14:16] <gschwepp> whatlinux: this could work yes. problem: Got your life cd SDK ?
[14:16] <Pici> Routers: Open a terminal, run ssh localhost
[14:16] <whatlinux> it;s not on a SDK, its on my flash drive :p

[14:33] <Kingsy> I tried watch rainlendar2 but that seems to just run the app
[14:33] <Kingsy> it doesnt return anything
[14:33] <tgall_foo> so I gather that current ubuntu doesn't use /etc/inittab ?   what does it use instead ?
[14:34] <Pici> Kingsy: dpkg -L packagename
[14:34] <sipior> redbullfx: partimage is one method, but a simple rsync to another disks works quite well also. have a look here: http://www.jwz.org/doc/backups.html
[14:34] <redbullfx> sipior thank you

[14:37] <jamal> hi guys :)
[14:37] <Kingsy> airtonix - thanks
[14:37] <bilalakhtar> Solved: hmm
[14:37] <itbcn8> Solved: what were you running before ubuntu 10.04?
[14:38] <airtonix> Kingsy, results of the locate command rely on having a database updated to accomodate new data. this is done with "sudo updatedb" and it may take a long time to complete the updating of the db

[14:56] <yrth> hi... I have just installed (many times by now) ubuntu 10.04 on a dell desktop. The installation seem to run fine, but it won't boot, and I have no idea why. Currently running off the CD (I tested it like that first) and it's fine, it won't just boot from the HDD. The HDD configuration is two 1TB disks that are connected into a single RAID array. I tried installing it with the disks seen as separate MS-DOS disks and even just one (unplugged one of the
[14:56] <yrth> m physically) and there was no change. ubuntu won't simply boot :(
[14:56] <abbera> can anyone help me get it working?

[15:00] <vaibhav> mikeg3: sorry, echo $HOSTNAME
[15:00] <mikeg3> ok I will try that
[15:02] <simplexio> mikeg3: if i recal right, hostname != computer name when using samba. what you need is winbind server nad confiure names into smb.conf i think.

Currently running off the CD (I tested it like that first) and it's fine, it won't just boot from the HDD. The HDD configuration is two 1TB disks that are connected into a single RAID array. I tried installing it with the disks seen as separate MS-DOS disks and even just one (unplugged one of the

[15:10] <Aioros> Does anyone know how to add public and private key into a new repository?
[15:10] <simplexio> yrth: are those disks allways on raid? i assume that you have some silicon chip there. and i cant remeber right key to get its bios. you see it when you boot
[15:11] <simplexio> yrth: if you are now in livecd enviroment then you an check it by ls /dev/disk/by-path/
[15:11] <glebihan> Aioros: you mean signing the Release file ?
[15:11] <simplexio> yrth: if you have only one there, but two connected disks you see only one ( i think)
[15:11] <Aioros> eu criei um repositório ubuntu com pacotes personalizados, gerei as chaves públicas e privadas mas não sei onde colocá-las no repositório.
[15:11] <noahir> Where is Configuration Manager ?
[15:11] <noahir> or whats the command to run it ?
[15:12] <Aioros> I created a repository ubuntu with custom packages, have generated the public and private keys but do not know where to put them in the repository.
[15:12] <Aioros> 10.04
[15:12] <yrth> simplexio yes, when I boot I can access the configuration of the disks, and there is was when I was changing it (removing the RAID array and treating it as 2 separate disks). Let me check what the ls/.. command produce.
[15:13] <yrth> pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0  pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-2:0:0:0
[15:13] <yrth> pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0
[15:13] <ZykoticK9> Aioros, if you don't get an answer here you might want to ask in #launchpad
[15:13] <yrth> simplexio
[15:13] <glebihan> Aioros: you do have to put them in the repository, you have to use them to sign the Release file
[15:13] <glebihan> Aioros: you do *not* have to put them in the repository
[15:14] <yrth> simplexio, when I was installing it as separate disks, I could see them separately during the installation. when they're in the raid array, it's only one, huge disk
[15:14] <Aioros> Got it. But how I do it? Sorry about the lack of knowledge.
[15:14] <rh-> Hello, i installed ubuntu in vmware workstation 6.5, and my keyboard doesn't work. Anyone know why?

[15:15] <Aioros> At the moment I put the packages in there and time to install packages it says are not signed.

[15:21] <bukcyball> Whenever I restore any window, it becomes always on top. The always-on-top property of the window is still unselected, but it remains always on top. Since the always-on-top is already unselected, I cannot make the window not-always-on-top. To view any window in the background, i have to explicitly minimize that always-on-top window, or maximize it, to remove always-on-top property.
[15:21] <bukcyball> Is there any gnome setting which makes restored (not maximized/minimized) windows always-on-top.
[15:21] <rh-> headkase314, thank you, it worked
[15:22] <headkase314> rh-, you're welcome!

[15:27] <glebihan> bukcyball: open "ccsm" and check what features are enabled in the "Window Management" section
[15:27] <Aioros> it must already exist, the private key?
[15:27] <bukcyball> glebihan: ok
[15:27] <glebihan> Aioros: the "Release.gpg" file will be generated by the command I suggested you
[15:27] <Aioros> it already exists within the private key?
[15:27] <Aioros> Understand
[15:28] <glebihan> Aioros: it will be created using the keys you generated earlier
[15:28] <Aioros> It's that he gave no output. Maybe I should wait.

[15:32] <ChesterX> I am trying to install mdk3-v6 (necessary for aircrack-ng), I always get "ERROR 127", any idea?
[15:32] <Calinou> hmm
[15:32] <tacomaster> i was wondering i looked online and didnt find  any thing i just upgraded to 10.10 and wine and virtualbox where disabled in my third party software how can i undisable them?
[15:32] <Benwa> ChesterX, why do you need mdk3-v6 ?
[15:33] <glebihan> !maverick | tacomaster
[15:33] <Solved> glebihan: Just old operating systems that I dont use anymore
[15:33] <Benwa> ChesterX, ok, i see
[15:33] <ChesterX> Benwa, I am working with aircrack-ng and mdk3-v6 has to be installed to get the ESSID
[15:33] <jasonb> flupke: Add "rdblacklist=nouveau nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0" to your kernel arguments.
[15:34] <Benwa> ChesterX, airodump-ng can get the essid
[15:34] <Solved> I have a bunch of old operating systems that I want to get rid of to free up space. How can I do this?
[15:34] <glebihan> Solved: so they are installed on their own partition ?
[15:34] <flupke> jasonb, ok thanks
[15:34] <Ashfire908> I'm using less and it stopped taking up/down/left/right arrow keys, page up/page down keys, etc and instead prints the key press in escaped form. How do I get it back?
[15:34] <Solved> yes
[15:34] <glaucous> I just uninstalled the ATI proprietary drivers because they were not working properly, and now I can't start KDM. I tried installing fglrx package, but still the same problem. What can I try? (ATI HD4870)
[15:34] <Benwa> ChesterX, #backtrack-linux
[15:35] <glebihan> Solved: well, just delete those partitions (use gparted)
[15:35] <Solved> ok
[15:35] <Solved> will that free up space for my new operating system
[15:35] <glebihan> Solved: be sure to backup any data before you do that
[15:35] <Solved> ?
[15:35] <Solved> yes
[15:35] <Solved> I am trying to do that
[15:35] <Solved> but it keeps saying
[15:35] <headkase314> glebihan, Solved, are there entries in GRUB for the other partitions before you delete them?
[15:35] <glebihan> Solved: yes, if you resize the partition of your current system (you'll need to use a live CD in order to do that)
[15:36] <Solved> I dont know what you mean
[15:36] <buntunub> glaucous: you need to move your xorg.conf to backup file and then type startx
[15:36] <ChesterX> Benwa, I am using a GUI for aircrack-ng which needs mdk
[15:36] <Solved> how do I resize the partition?
[15:36] <glaucous> buntunub: Thanks, seems smart. sec
[15:36] <Solved> I put in cd
[15:36] <Solved> then I choose try ubuntu without installing?
[15:37] <glebihan> Solved: you boot from the CD, launch gparted, delete the partitions on which the unused OS are installed, then grow the partition of your current system
[15:37] <glebihan> Solved: yes
[15:37] <Solved> how do I grow the partition of my current system using gparted?
[15:38] <rbellamy> http://paste.linuxassist.net/215420
[15:38] <glebihan> Solved: it's very simple, once you'll have deleted the other partitions, right-click on the partition of your current system and select "Resize/Move" (in gparted)
[15:38] <rbellamy> I need some help with find and sed
[15:39] <Solved> and what do I choose to resize it to?
[15:39] <rbellamy> I'd like to be able to duplicate and rename files in a directory
[15:39] <jrib> rbellamy: what do you want to accomplish?
[15:39] <Ashfire908> I don't have the issue with other cli programs
[15:39] <zidoh> any recommended way of installing python 2.5 on lucid=
[15:39] <zidoh> ?
[15:39] <helo_> rbellamy: rsync will duplicate... mv will rename... am i missing something? :)
[15:40] <Seppoz> mv moves
[15:40] <glebihan> zidoh: why do you want to do that ? (Python 2.5 is not supported anymore)
[15:40] <glaucous> When installing fglrx from repository, is it the same as installing drivers from the ATI website? Except that they're older, of course.
[15:40] <Vroomfondle> glaucous: yes.
[15:40] <headkase314> zidoh, Lucid already comes with Python 2.6.5 is there a specific reason you need 2.5?
[15:40] <helo_> Seppoz: what is a rename if not a move?
[15:40] <jrib> rbellamy: why don't you just use cp in a for loop?
[15:40] <glaucous> Vroomfondle: Thanks
[15:41] <zidoh> glebihan, headkase314: framework that requires 2.5 unfortunately
[15:41] <rbellamy> jrib, well, first, cuz I'm slow sometimes, and then on second thought, because the for loop breaks when iterating large populations
[15:41] <glaucous> Vroomfondle: Should I install xorg-driver-fglrx as well?
[15:42] <Vroomfondle> glaucous: I think that'll get installed automatically, but if not then yes you should
[15:42] <redbullfx> Hi again
[15:42] <glebihan> zidoh: you'll find python2.5 there : http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/
[15:42] <jrib> rbellamy: well you'll have to use cp anyway with your xargrs
[15:42] <glaucous> Vroomfondle: Okay, doing that. Because some programs that rely on ATI Overdrive didn't work now, but will test in a second.
[15:42] <rbellamy> helo_, so I've got a this file, named file.py, and I want to create a duplicate of that file, in the same directory, with the name file-1.py
[15:42] <zidoh> glebihan: yeah, just wondered if there was a more "recommended way" other than simply compiling it from source
[15:42] <redbullfx> Can anyone tell me what   Install Release is for under  System/Administration ???
[15:43] <meingbg> rbellamy: cp file.py file-1.py
[15:43] <glebihan> zidoh: no, the last 2.5 release is a source only release
[15:43] <rbellamy> jrib, yes, but I need to munge the name with sed (or some other incantation) BEFORE I create the cp command
[15:43] <zidoh> glebihan: okay :)
[15:43] <rbellamy> meingbg, yep, now do that for 50k files?
[15:43] <helo_> rbellamy: for x in *.py; do cp "$x" "${x%.py}-1.py"; done
[15:43] <sathia> cp file.py anotherfile.py
[15:43] <headkase314> zidoh, I just checked Synaptic, there is no Python 2.5 available.  You should not install it from python.org as the already installed python 2.6 is used all over in Ubuntu.  It would likely break something.  So, can you find an updated version of that framework which will work with 2.6?
[15:43] <handjob_> I can't connect to eth0, wireless works and apt has problems braging about how he "can't translate name". I am using 10.04 on samsung n130.
[15:44] <jrib> rbellamy: maybe easiest way is to just use "rename" instead of cp
[15:44] <rbellamy> helo_, for loop breaks at large populations...
[15:44] <rbellamy> jrib, that RENAMEs the file, not duplicates with new name
[15:44] <jrib> rbellamy: erm, yeah oops
[15:44] <redbullfx> What do you use to backup system, and restore from an IMAGE?
[15:44] <helo_> rbellamy: is your population of python scripts that big?
[15:44] <glebihan> headkase314, zidoh: it won't break anything, the default version will remain 2.6, python handles very well having several versions installed
[15:45] <_hans> rbellamy: make a python script that can do it
[15:45] <zidoh> headkase314: unfortunately not.. i guess i'll have to take my chances that make altinstall will not break everything
[15:45] <jrib> rbellamy: right a small script that takes as input the filename and does the cp with munging then
[15:45] <rbellamy> helo_, that is my example.... they're actually binary files
[15:45] <Ashfire908> I found the error is with what I was piping to less
[15:45] <DaveWM> what's the best kernel to use right now to make the most of an i7 with Hyper-threading and 8gb of ram ?
[15:45] <rbellamy> _hans, yeah, I'd like to, but I want a bash solution....
[15:45] <headkase314> zidoh, glebihan thank you for the clarification glebihan
[15:45] <rbellamy> DaveWM, the newest?
[15:45] <ZykoticK9> redbullfx, you might want to check out Clonezilla a live CD similar to Norton Ghost
[15:45] <dekroning> hey guys, for some reason my Ubuntu boots into busybox anyone have an idea why this might be ?
[15:45] <_hans> rbellamy making a bash script shouldnt be too hard either i think
[15:46] <glebihan> headkase314: you're welcome
[15:46] <helo_> rbellamy: #bash will have a good solution
[15:46] <DaveWM> i'm in the expert install mode,  and have the plain linux-generic,  -image-n.n.... server,   and virtual varieties
[15:46] <DaveWM> heh
[15:46] <rbellamy> DaveWM, and I don't think any of them are taking advantage of the TXT extensions yet....
[15:46] <redbullfx> ZykoticK9: Thanks i will check it out.
[15:46] <Roland> DaveWM, 2.5 series? :D
[15:46] <rbellamy> _hans, helo_, okay, to be more specific, I was looking for a one-liner
[15:46] <zidoh> glebihan: ok, sounds good :)
[15:46] <DaveWM> didnt know if maybe i should be using a server kernel instead,  lol
[15:46] <glaucous> Vroomfondle: Still having problems that ATI Overdrive won't work with my applications. And I do not have amdcccle installed either (ATI control panel)
[15:47] <Roland> DaveWM, I think there is no specific desktop kernel
[15:47] <DaveWM> i guess i'll just go with 2.6.32-24-generic
[15:47] <_hans> rbellamy, this: for f in `find .`;do cp "$f" "$f-1"; done; only you need to do someting with the file extensions
[15:47] <UserX> any Xbindkeys users?
[15:47] <rbellamy> _hans, thanks for trying, but that'll still explode with large populations
[15:48] <meingbg> I'm trying to decide on what Ubuntu edition to use, e.g. server, JeOS, or Xubuntu. I will use it on a virtualized guest as a desktop workstations for several users connecting over VNC/RDP etc. That is, it will be virtualized, but still have all the graphics stuff.
[15:48] <DaveWM> anyway,  its not super important,  i just didnt know if any one out of these choices would be much better on my hardware than the other
[15:48] <_hans> rbellamy, than the only other option i can think of is making a script
[15:48] <rbellamy> ghostoyo, don't pm without asking...
[15:48] <helo_> #bash will almost always result in the best advice regarding bash scripting :)
[15:48] <Aioros> glebihan: I managed to add the key to the repository. Now where in the package should I enter the public key so that it can be signed?
[15:49] <glebihan> rbellamy: I'd use a python script to do what you want to
[15:49] <UserX> meingbg: what are you looking for? applications, graphics, certain features?
[15:49] <rbellamy> helo_, okay then, that's me being dense... thanks!
[15:49] <glebihan> Aioros: you want to sign each package individually ?
[15:50] <dekroning> how can i get into the grub boot menu on default ubuntu 10.04 install ?
[15:50] <Aioros> Yes
[15:50] <UserX> dekroning: hold shift as it boots
[15:50] <glebihan> dekroning: with shift key
[15:50] <Aioros> Is there any how to?
[15:50] <abhijit> hello allllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[15:51] <glebihan> Aioros: that's normally done when building the package with dpkg-buildpackage
[15:51] <meingbg> UserX: I don't really know the differences between them. If they all are connected to the same repositories I guess it doesn't matter that much. I want KDE and/or GNOME as well as some feature to nullify unused parts of the HD.
[15:51] <glebihan> Aioros: but apt doesn't use individual package signing for now
[15:51] <Aioros> But it will use the private key that I generated?
[15:51] <Aioros> the dpkg-buildpackage
[15:52] <dekroning> glebihan: for some reason that doesn't seem to work for me
[15:52] <glaucous> When installing ATI drivers from their website, do I need to uninstall current fglrx?
[15:52] <glebihan> Aioros: as long as you're building with the same user and that the fields in control files are properly set, yes
[15:52] <wickedwayz> hello ubuntu lovers, i m new on ubuntu and i get error  everytime.. please help me out.. Error report ss is here ; http://bit.ly/atPeQ0
[15:52] <headkase314> glaucous, yes, uninstall the previous drivers prior to installing the newer ones
[15:53] <meingbg> UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized.
[15:53] <glaucous> headkase314: Alright
[15:53] <glebihan> dekroning: maybe you're using grub1 (although with normal lucid installation it should be grub2), in that cas it's escape
[15:53] <meingbg> UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized.
[15:53] <meingbg> UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized.
[15:53] <Aioros> I understand if I recompile the package with the same user he signs the package correctly. I'll try to do. Thanks
[15:53] <UserX> meingbg: if you're after performance KDE and Gnome are considered heavy-weight
[15:54] <ZykoticK9> don't click on wickedwayz link!   :D
[15:55] <UserX> itbcn8: holding shift displays the grub2 menu. by default it does not show unless you have another o/s
[15:55] <dekroning> glebihan: i can't reach it at the moment i'm afraid, since it's not booting up... but giving me the  (initramfs) prompt during boot
[15:55] <dekroning> yeah i'm using 10.04
[15:55] <LjL> wickedwayz: that's totally inappropriate for this channel, and it also causes a dialog window to show up that won't go away. please do NOT do anything like this again.
[15:56] <itbcn8> UserX: thanks nice to know :)
[15:56] <meingbg> UserX: Is there any particular difference between the editions that I should take into account?
[15:56] <meingbg> UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized.
[15:56] <glebihan> dekroning: have you tried both shift keys (I think only one of them work, but I don't know which) ?
[15:57] <UserX> meingbg: optimised for performance? such as ram/cpu useage?
[15:57] <BluesKaj> glaucous, yes , but remove it at a tty prompt after stopping the window manager gdm or kdm depending on your desktop (sudo service g/kdm stop) ,then after installing  start gdm again.
[15:57] <dekroning> glebihan: ah ok ill try the right key
[15:57] <itbcn8> how do you close this thing wikedwayz?
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. Is there a way to make a Unmounted partition, NOT show up in the places menu.
[15:57] <itbcn8> wickedwayz: how do you close your link?
[15:57] <gschwepp> Op can wickedwayz please be banned.
[15:58] <wickedwayz> itbcn8:  re-start system
[15:58] <headkase314> itbcn8, log out an back in
[15:58] <webbgroup> Does anybody have any working Active Directory configs for hardy?
[15:58] <meingbg> UserX: Yes. Is there any difference?
[15:58] <UserX> Dr_Willis: comment it out /etc/fstab
[15:58] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Hm, didn't do that. Although I did follow some cleaning file advices
[15:58] <itbcn8> wickedwayz: haha, sooooo funnyy....
[15:58] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Should I install after stopping kdm as well?
[15:58] <LjL> itbcn8: just killing the browser should do.
[15:58] <gschwepp> lol wickedwayz just kill browser
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> UserX:  its not in fstab. :) but the Places menu sees/shows it and lets it get mounted
[15:59] <webbgroup> I get results with "getent passwd"
[15:59] <blue_anna> where can I find out about upcoming ruby support in ubuntu?
[15:59] <UserX> meingbg: Kubuntu use KDE. it's heavy. Ubuntu uses gnome. It's also heavy. Xubuntu and Lubuntu are considered more lightweight.
[15:59] <wickedwayz> gschwepp: both
[15:59] <itbcn8> wickedwayz: just killed firefox
[15:59] <blue_anna> ruby 1.9.2 has been out about a month now, I'm just wanting to know when I can apt-get install it
[15:59] <webbgroup> but "getent group" fails with an error
[15:59] <wickedwayz> i'll do it unstopable
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> blue_anna:  there may be a PPA for it.
[15:59] <wickedwayz> :D
[16:00] <headkase314> itbcn8, Alt+F2 to get a command launcher, enter "xkill" without quotes and press enter then when cursor changes to skull and crossbones click browser window
[16:00] <webbgroup> Anybody?
[16:00] <gschwepp> wickedwayz: you cant ;) you can always kill your process
[16:00] <meingbg> UserX: But installing gnome or KDE on top of Xubuntu or Lubuntu would make it just as heavy, right?
[16:00] <tacomaster> if i reinstall virtualbox will i loose the os's that i have or will they be added to the new virtualbox?
[16:00] <webbgroup> Working AD LDAP config for Hardy?
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> tacomaster:  the settings should remain
[16:01] <glebihan> tacomaster: you won't lose them
[16:01] <Solved> I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this?
[16:01] <BedMan> tacomaster: no - they're images, and they stick around if you update virtualbox
[16:01] <BluesKaj> glaucous, are you running kubuntu or ubuntu , kdm is kubuntu, gdm is gnome/ubuntu ?
[16:02] <blue_anna> there were news reports that said to expect it to come to ubuntu in august :P
[16:02] <Solved> I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this?
[16:02] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Kubuntu, kdm.
[16:02] <liamsmithuk> wickedwayz: you seem to be forgetting the majority of people aren't dumb in this channel... go play your jokes elsewhere
[16:03] <Glenjamin> hi guys, i've just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on the way to 10.04, and i'm getting the following from apt: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/is0hFz8h
[16:03] <Glenjamin> any ideas how to clean this up?
[16:03] <Solved> I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this?
[16:03] <Aioros> glebihan: In my case, the packages will be rebuilt elsewhere. Is there a way to sign a package with the public key that I already have?
 what are you booting ? ubuntu or windows ?
[16:03] <Solved> ubuntu
 10.10 ?
[16:04] <Solved> 10.04
[16:04] <glebihan> Aioros: as I said, dpkg-buildpackage should handle this, but why do you need it ?
[16:04] <BluesKaj> glaucous, try this tutorial ,  http://pastebin.com/Bsu6Qvxz
[16:05] <Rotham> Im having a problem with the CD player on my computer... sometimes it doesnt read the CD thats in the drive, and I have to reboot the comp and it works... Im wondering how I can go about diagnosing the problem and fixing it?
[16:05] <Rotham> i just upgraded from 9.1 to 10.04
[16:05] <Rotham> or .0x
[16:05] <redbullfx> Why do I have   INSTALL RELEASE when i did a full install????
[16:05] <redbullfx> under system/administrative
[16:06] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Okay easy enough. It's just that when I did apt-get install fglrx it seems like it didn't install things like xorg-driver-fglrx
[16:06] <BluesKaj> glaucous, after running the tutorial , ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to the desktop
[16:06] <Aioros> It is here that the company often need to change packages to work correctly on our system. So in this case, packets are generated by more than one person.
[16:07] <Aioros> Sorry, my lack of knowledge.
[16:07] <glebihan> Aioros: in that case, you 'll have to make your key available to other people building the packages
[16:07] <glaucous> BluesKaj: yes no problem, I know how to handle ttys (kind of). The problem is which packages that I should install, and if I perhaps should use drivers from ATI's site, even though then should be the same (but older)
[16:07] <maco> Aioros: you can sign a package with debsign
[16:07] <Aioros> My question is just how these people will be able to sign the package you just recompile.
[16:07] <glebihan> Aioros: then the "-k" option of dpkg-buildpackage can be used to specify which key to use for signing
[16:08] <Aioros> Perfect! I'll try to do this.
[16:08] <BluesKaj> glaucous, the X window has to be stopped in order to remove a graphics driver , that's the reason for stopping kdm . otherwise if X is running it's using the existing driver and won't uninstall and you can't install a new driver oover top an existing one.
[16:08] <Aioros> in this case the key must be in a file or text?
[16:09] <DaveWM> for multiple monitors,  does one desktop environment play  nicer than another,  between gnome and kde that is ?
[16:09] <glaucous> BluesKaj: I understand, but the driver is already (hopefully fully) uninstalled. The problem is installing.
[16:09] <webbgroup> Does anybody have any working Active Directory LDAP configs for hardy?
[16:09] <Seppoz> hello, is there a digital clock screensaver for ubuntu/gnome?
[16:09] <glebihan> Aioros: the key must be in the gpg files, and the key ID has to be specified with -k
[16:10] <glaucous> BluesKaj: But it seems like it should be these packages: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer
[16:10] <BluesKaj> glaucous, I'm not sure which driver works with your graphics card , the info is sketchy , xserver-xorg-video-ati might work , not sure
[16:10] <Aioros> then, dpkg-buildpackage -k XXXXXXX
[16:10] <glebihan> Aioros: that's why you'll have to share your key so that other people can use it for signing
[16:11] <glebihan> Aioros: yes, but without the space after -k
[16:11] <Aioros> Ok, i will try. Thanks ;)
[16:11] <glebihan> Aioros: you're welcome
[16:12] <BluesKaj> glaucous, yes I think you have it
[16:13] <Glenjamin> i've just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on the way to 10.04, and i'm getting the following from apt: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/is0hFz8h anyone able to point me in the right direction?
[16:15] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Not working, guess I'll have to try drivers from website.
[16:15] <ZykoticK9> Glenjamin, are you using the Desktop or Server version of Ubuntu?  If it's server you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server
[16:15] <Glenjamin> ZykoticK9: its server, thanks
[16:15] <Kaie`> many xfce users?
[16:16] <blue_anna> Kaie` I like it but its slow without native opengl
[16:16] <blue_anna> I'm on a powerpc, no driver for me :(
[16:16] <Kaie`> ah
[16:17] <Kaie`> im on a netbook so i figured the lightweightness would be in my favor
[16:17] <Kaie`> well a netbook right now
[16:17] <blue_anna> as long as you have native 3d acceleration it should be
[16:17] <BluesKaj> glaucous, ok , ati linux support has become problematic lately ...maybe the proprietary driver will work , can anyone recommend an ATI driver for HD4870 ?
[16:17] <blue_anna> when they changed the core to use the same codebase that gnome uses it slowed it down a lot, but it also added all the eye-candy I like :)
[16:18] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Latest (10.8) should work (according to ATI at least), but you never know.
[16:18] <ZykoticK9> Kaie`, xfce really isn't "much" lighter then Gnome, see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1
[16:18] <jwm123> Is there anyone who can help me get Zeitgeist and gnome activity journal workking (together).  I hav both installed and running but there seems to be no way for me to access Zeigeist and no sign of activity in the activity journal.
[16:18] <BluesKaj> glaucous, does ati say explicitly that it works on lucid 64 bit ?
[16:19] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Just Linux 64 bit, but you can build .deb files for lucid
[16:20] <jwm123> Alternatively, is there a better forum in which to ask my zeitgeist/activity journal question?
[16:21] <BluesKaj> glaucous, ok good to hear
[16:21] <grendal_prime> ok the test run worked fine on this laptop.  Now i did an actual install but after upgadeing it it no longer will run X

[16:22] <grendal_prime>  im assuming it has something to do with the video driver.  I want to just put it back to vesa..but there appears to no longer be an xorg.conf?  how do i set the video back to vesa.. ( i use to love the dpkg-reconfiugre of this that is also aparently now gone)
[16:22] <blackdoggy> using ubuntu 10.04 in sony vaio vgn cs16g
[16:22] <glaucous> BluesKaj: http://blog.hotsquid.org/2010/05/updating-to-ati-10-4-onlucid/ - Now that's 10.4, but it's the same. will try installing with kdm stopped
[16:23] <blackdoggy> any body  interested on helping me?
[16:23] <gschwepp> blackdoggy: did you try asking google?
[16:23] <blackdoggy> i did
[16:24] <ZykoticK9> !helpme | blackdoggy
[16:24] <glebihan> blackdoggy: what's the issue ?
[16:24] <BluesKaj> glaucous, ok , after download , make the file executable in properties
[16:25] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Yup, have done this before, hopefully it'll be successful this time :)
[16:25] <BluesKaj> ok glaucous :)
[16:25] <blackdoggy> glebihan... i cant use my  microphone in ubuntu 10.04
[16:25] <vaibhav> I have installed 10.04 on my machine and my monitor is of 20 inches... my problem is that am not able to see the characters very clear... my resolution is 1600x900 @60Hz , how I can solve this..
[16:25] <Dread> can anyone think why ubuntu is blocking ssh access to my linode server? i've ruled out the server itself, the router and my hosts file, i've no idea why its doing this...
[16:25] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. i just put an old nvidia 6600 videocard in my lucid amd64 machine. I am using the nvidia-current driver but my pc is really acting weird. very often when a menu is opend, or a screen resized or the like, ubuntu freezes for like 20 and often both connected monitors show a black screen for a millisec or something
[16:26] <SmokeyD> any ideas what can cause this?
[16:26] <glebihan> blackdoggy, have you checked your volume settings with "alsa-mixer" ?
[16:26] <Oer> SmokeyD, do you have compiz enabled ?
[16:26] <BluesKaj> Dread, did you recently reinstall ubuntu ?
[16:27] <blackdoggy> glebihan its not muted
[16:27] <gimmebottles> #join zipit-dev
[16:27] <blackdoggy> in fact i cant even check the box in  input tab
[16:27] <SmokeyD> Oer: visual effects is set to None.
[16:27] <Dread> BluesKaj, nope, but ive been updating it, i've also recently moved house which is why i thought it was the router or the connection but i can ssh using my ipad just fine
[16:29] <glebihan> blackdoggy, you may try the solution suggested here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/147298/comments/26
[16:30] <blackdoggy> thanks i will give it a go
[16:30] <rob_p> Dread: So you can access your server over SSH from other PCs, devices, etc. but not from your Ubuntu PC?
[16:30] <Dread> rob_p, correct
[16:31] <rob_p> Dread: Can you ping the server from your Ubuntu PC?
[16:31] <Dread> rob_p, nope i get a destination port unreachable when i try
[16:32] <BluesKaj> Dread, some times deleting the keys in ~/.ssh/known_hosts , and then trying to ssh into other networked pcs will auto ask if you want to generate new keys , then you can ssh again
[16:32] <rob_p> Dread: What is between your Ubuntu PC and your server?  Is it over the local network or Internet, etc?
[16:33] <jimcooncat> anyone know how to specify pdftk input from a list of files? I have my list in temp.txt, I want to pdftk [pdfs from temp.txt] cat output merged.pdf
[16:33] <Dread> BluesKaj, been there, no luck
[16:33] <rob_p> BluesKaj: He would at least establish comm with it and get an error if that were the case.  But it's good to keep in mind if that happens.
[16:33] <Dread> rob_p, computer connects directly to the router
[16:34] <erUSUL> jimcooncat: on file per line? no space in filenames?
[16:34] <rob_p> Dread: So your Ubuntu PC and your server are connected directly to the router?
[16:34] <jimcooncat> erUSUL: yes, I have one filename per line
[16:34] <blue_anna> how can I edit a message I sent to an invalid address? I see it in my global outbox but it won't let me edit it (just create a duplicate message to send and edit that)
[16:34] <BluesKaj> rob_p, yeah, I've had to do it several times and it's always worked for me ..it's dirty but it works most of the time
[16:34] <SmokeyD> I have no compiz processes running and still the screen flicks a lot and the desktop freezes
[16:34] <blue_anna> in evolution
[16:34] <jimcooncat> erUSUL: yes, I have one filename per line; no spaces in filenames
[16:34] <vaibhav> how to set HDMI output in ununtu??
[16:34] <SmokeyD> at times
[16:34] <Dread> rob_p, no the ubuntu pc is connected to the router, my server is hosted in a datacenter
[16:35] <elitexray> anyone in here use ubuntu mainly for stock analysis?
[16:35] <matrixa1> vaibhav, attach the display, it will appear in your video control panel
[16:35] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Heh, well that failed.. Install when well, then when booted I get low fps in most programs, some features doesn't work, amdcccle (control panel) doesnt work and so on
[16:35] <BluesKaj> Dread, unles the IPs have changed ..same router and ISP ?
[16:35] <matrixa1> vaibhav, then do like in windows, enable the displa
[16:35] <matrixa1> display*
[16:35] <erUSUL> jimcooncat: then maybe « pdftk $( tr '\n' ' ' < temp.txt ) cat output merged.pdf » could work.
[16:35] <jimcooncat> thanks much erUSUL!
[16:35] <rob_p> BluesKaj: Actually, it's perfectly valid to delete the "old" entry in your known_hosts file in order for you to be able to connect from an updated connection configuration.
[16:36] <st__> what this *** means on bootup: "init: plymouth main process(203) kelled by KILL signal" and the same for ureadahed(202)???
[16:36] <Dread> BluesKaj, nah new router, plus, i can get to the server just fine using port 80, web access works fine, ssh is blocked
[16:37] <blue_anna> if I click resend it attaches the old message as an attachment. there has -got- to be a way to simply edit the addressee's line and then send it
[16:37] <LjL> (This is a test) Heh, well that failed.. Install when well, then when booted I get low fps in most programs, some features doesn't work, amdcccle (control panel) doesnt work and so on
[16:37] <BluesKaj> port 22 is blocked , Dread ?
[16:38] <rob_p> Dread: When using your ipad to connect to your server over ssh, are you doing it from your home network connection, or some other location, wifi hotspot, school, etc?
[16:38] <vaibhav> matrixa1: where is video control panel??
[16:38] <Dread> BluesKaj, where would it be blocked?
[16:38] <matrixa1> vaibhav, do you have ati or nvidia?
[16:38] <Dread> rob_p, same internal network connection
[16:39] <st__> why does my system kills plymouth abd readahead? it is bad?
[16:39] <BluesKaj> in the router , Dread ?
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> st__:  its normal here. i see mesages about that all the time
[16:39] <rob_p> Dread: If you can access it from your ipad (or anything, for that matter), then port 22 is *not* blocked.
[16:39] <jimcooncat> erUSUL: it actually worked! I didn't know the command line would take so much text.
[16:39] <vaibhav> matrixa1: its on board, its intel 55tc motherboard.
[16:40] <hide_> hello every body
[16:40] <Dread> BluesKaj, theres no blockages specific to this computer on my router
[16:40] <BluesKaj> ok Dread
[16:40] <erUSUL> jimcooncat: well there is actually a limit but it is quite high ;P
[16:40] <hide_> excuse me but i dont speak english i have a problem with ubuntu commands
[16:40] <blue_anna> is it possible to script two actions together in evolution?
[16:41] <st__> !ask
[16:41] <sipior> hide_: there are ubuntu help channels in a number of languages. is there another you'd prefer?
[16:41] <matrixa1> vaibhav, System→ settings→monitors
[16:41] <rob_p> Dread: Is your server at the datacenter, "pingable" or is there filtering in place to block it?  If it's pingable, can you ping it from a different computer?  You already mentioned that you cannot ping it from your Ubuntu PC, correct?
[16:41]  * Dr_Willis looks for the → key on his keyboard..
[16:42] <sipior> hide_: but by all means, go ahead and state your question :-)
[16:43]  * erUSUL press Altgr + i in his kb →→→→ then changes to u ↓↓↓↓↓ and to y ←←←←←←←
[16:43] <Dread> rob_p, yeh its pingable
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL:  i dont even have a Altgr key:)
[16:44] <jaikyee_> hi people... how are you?
[16:44] <isaac_> is there a way that i could connect dual monitor ?
[16:44] <rob_p> Dread: Ok.  Seems to be a local issue with your Ubuntu box itself, especially since you have other devices locally that can ssh in just fine.
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> isaac_:  i do dual and tripple monitor with my Nvidia chipset systems all the tiem
[16:45] <Ashfire908> When I pipe the output of a php script to less, and I try to scroll, I get "^[OB^[OA" and such. It just started doing this in the middle of something.
[16:45] <rob_p> Dread: Have you added any packet filtering/firewalling or modified routing tables on the Ubuntu PC?
[16:45] <Dread> rob_p, i may have found the problem, hang on
[16:45] <tucemiux> so I installed the updates for the kernel last week, now my machine boots up, goes to GUI mode, and then freezes??
[16:47] <CenoNode> hi guys
[16:47] <rob_p> Hello CenoNode.
[16:47] <Dread> rob_p, i got it, thanks for your time, it was moblock, it added some stuff into iptables
[16:47] <CenoNode> my grub is throwing some errors immediately before the OS list shows up. Is there any log where I can read those messages?
[16:47] <erUSUL> Ashfire908: try running « reset » on the terminal
[16:47] <rob_p> Dread: That would do it!  :-)
[16:48] <Ashfire908> erUSUL, I tried that already, and I tried it again. No effect.
[16:48] <isaac_> ive just downloaded drivers for my graphic card and when i try to install it it give's me a error in red which says could not open file does anybody know what this mean?
[16:49] <hide_> excuse me  thes is my quistion ?? i would mont cdrom in terminal of ubuntu with command ?
[16:50] <abhijit> !mount | hide_
[16:50] <Ashfire908> I don't have this issue if I less anything else, | w3m works, and php script.php > tmp;less tmp also works.
[16:50] <st__> which package gnome clock applert belongs to?
[16:50] <Ashfire908> The issue is specifically when I pipe php to less
[16:50] <glebihan> CenoNode, not sure, but I don't think there's any log, since this happens before any filesystem is mounted
[16:50] <headkase314> hide_, instructions specifically for a cdrom -> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/start/t0006753.htm
[16:51] <CenoNode> glebihan: indeed. but the message flashs so fast I can't read it. There has to be some way?
[16:51] <hide_> ubottu thk man
[16:54] <DouglasK> Using Remote Desktop on 10.04 and TightVNC client in Windows, it allows me to control the remote desktop, but the screen does not update.  Any suggestions of where to start troubleshooting?
[16:54] <glaucous> BluesKaj: Just want to give you some feedback. Installing with builddpkg failed for me. So at last I tried the normal GUI installation using the ATI drives, which worked.
[16:55] <glebihan> CenoNode, I'm looking if I can find something
[16:57] <macsim> hi, is it possible to export sound from a computer to another one ?
[16:58] <vaibhav> matrixa1: hay thanks.. done... :)
[17:01] <noo> Hello. I just found out that there exists the sudo -s commad. No my big security question is how does it make my system more secure to not login with root if I still login into a system with a users who can simple use sudo -s by default
[17:01] <elpasmo> Hi all, I just updated my netbook to Ubuntu Netbook Edition and now, when I connect my headphones a weir electrical buzz starts in the netbook (but the sound through the headphones is great). That didn't happen with a Ubuntu Desktop 8.04. I don't know where to start looking for trying to solve the problem.
[17:01] <sipior> noo: most users aren't permitted to use sudo by default.
[17:02] <sipior> noo: only the login created at installation has that privilege initially.
[17:02] <ikonia> noo: because if a user leaves you can remove them from the admin group and you don't need to change the root password
[17:02] <pkkm> someone said something to me?
[17:02] <sipior> noo: also, everything performed using is logged by the system...
[17:02] <glebihan> noo: you can edit user permissions in System->Administration->Users and Groups
[17:03] <sipior> noo: "using sudo", rather
[17:03] <deep2k4> hello! im trying to manually configure my network devices under latest netbook remix but i cannot stop the network manager. is there any way?
[17:03] <glebihan> deep2k4: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop
[17:03] <noo> But wouldn't it be better if the installation would create a user that isn't in the sudoers group? I mean he can use sudo to do certain stuff and still it would make the system more secure
[17:04] <deep2k4> well that was a quick answer! and it wont pop up again then, glebihan ?
[17:04] <sipior> noo: if they're not in the sudoers group to begin with, how do you plan on modifying /etc/sudoers to modify their capabilities?
[17:05] <glebihan> deep2k4: just doing that will only disable it until next boot
[17:05] <rob_p> noo: There has to be at least one user that has sudo access.  That should be you.  If you don't trust yourself, well you've got bigger problems!  :-)
[17:05] <deep2k4> okay that is good! exactly what i need. and to reanable it i just use start instead stop? glebihan ?
[17:05] <glebihan> deep2k4: that's right
[17:06] <noo> No I mean root can do that. I meant to give less priviliges to the standard users created by ubuntu besides the roota account
[17:06] <dpac_> deep2k4: You are smart :)
[17:06] <deep2k4> ;P
[17:06] <headkase314> I am smrt! S-M-R-T smrt!
[17:06] <glebihan> noo: this behavior is due to the fact that Ubuntu doesn't have a root user by default
[17:07] <sipior> noo: if you like, you can think of the initially created login as the "root" account. all other subsequent logins are less privileged by default.
[17:08] <rob_p> noo: The root account is not enabled (at least for logging into) by default so without a user with sudo access, there would be no, "admin" capability on the box.
[17:08] <deep2k4> what about this avahi-daemon, glebihan ?
[17:08] <glebihan> deep2k4: same thing with /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon
[17:09] <deep2k4> hm sounds way too simple... man. thank you, glebihan ! ;D
[17:09] <glebihan> deep2k4: you're welcome
[17:10] <deep2k4> okay, problems solved so far. ill try it out now. cya around fellas! :)
[17:12] <noo> Oh ok I think I see what my thinking errror was: So you can't create a users who can't use sudo -s, but still can use sudo in front of his commands to execute them as root?
[17:13] <sipior> noo: most users won't be able to use "sudo -s", unless *you* decide otherwise. try it!
[17:13] <sjm> noo, you can restrict what users can to what with sudo, you need to look carefully at the manual for sudo and the sudoers file.
[17:13] <hello123> hi
[17:14] <hello123> I have a newbie question: i want to backup the entire system, not just my home folder
[17:14] <hello123> how do I do it?
[17:14] <ZykoticK9> !backup | hello123
[17:15] <noo> Well I think that most people only have 1 user besides root and thats why I think that it would be better to not give the standard users the possibility to execute sudo -s. It would be more secure because a user can't just type sudo -s and be root all the time and there is nothing that gets worse if you would take away that right by default
[17:15] <hello123> can I copy it over to some kind of iso and then simply copy it back to a virgin and empty hdd and run it?
[17:15] <hello123> ZykoticK9, thanks for the link
[17:15] <hello123> links
[17:15] <ZykoticK9> noo, only users in the Admin group can use sudo or in your case "sudo -s"
[17:16] <headkase314> noo, sipior ZykoticK9 what about "sudo bash"?
[17:16] <ZykoticK9> headkase314, sudo anything - must be in admin group (ps don't use sudo bash)
[17:16] <rob_p> noo: Your definition of, "standard user" is flawed.  The user that is created by default is to be thought of as an admin user.  If you want other users, create them.  They *won't* have access to sudo unless you grant them access.
[17:17] <sipior> headkase314: what about it?
[17:17] <noo> Can't I create a user who is not able to use sudo -s, but still is able to use sudo in front of commands to execute them as root? I think that would be much better
[17:17] <headkase314> sipior, I thought that -s option gives you an interactive sudo?  Then sudo bash would be similar?
[17:17] <st__> why each time I switch users their screen appears on other console?
[17:18] <sipior> headkase314: it would, though it's considered poor practise.
[17:18] <headkase314> ZykoticK9, I won't use sudo bash ;)  I just read about it! =)
[17:18] <rob_p> noo: The sudo mechanism is very flexible.  Read up on it and I think it will answer your questions.
[17:18] <sipior> headkase314: cf. "sudi -i"
[17:18] <sipior> sudo
[17:18] <noo> rob_p: I'm not thinking of my system right now. I think that maybe it would be better in general
[17:19] <glebihan> noo, it's hard to decide what's better in general, sudo has been thought for personal computers with usually only 1 user
[17:20] <sipior> noo: lots of people have given this matter a great deal of thought for a considerable length of time. i think with a bit more reading you'll come to understand the situation more thoroughly.
[17:20] <DouglasK> In Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome desktop), Remote Desktop does not work properly with Desktop Effects enabled.  Set them to none and it works fine.  Any ideas on how to make it work with Desktop Effects enabled?
[17:20] <hello123> especially I want home, but also my users, user privileges, installed packages, startup scripts, kernel security option - so I guess drive imaging is the way to go?
[17:20] <rob_p> noo: You can be very selective in what priv'd commands certain users are allowed to execute.
[17:20] <rob_p> noo: It's not an all or none situation.
[17:20] <sinman> how can i setup each virtual desktop with their own wallpaper instead of sharing the same one for all desktops?
[17:20] <ZykoticK9> noo, you're getting offtopic, this channel isn't for discussion, it's for support (of real, not theoretical issues)
[17:20] <st__> why each time I switch users their screen appears on other console?
[17:21] <hello123> however, i won't backup the entire hdd, but just the partition as hdd is too big, so how do i do to make it runnable after copying back?
[17:21] <noo> ok thanks for all these answers :)
[17:21] <ZykoticK9> sinman, see the warning in red at the top http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/multiple-compiz-backgrounds
[17:21] <BasicXP> Hello! I have a question - is it possible to have some sort of certificate of Ubuntu Membership, so I can have it in my sort of portfolio?
[17:21] <hello123> and need the new partition on the new drive be _exactly_ the size of the old or just _at_least_as_big?
[17:21] <abhijit> BasicXP, no but you can print ubuntu bussines visiting cards
[17:22] <BasicXP> abhijit: no that's not what i want :(
[17:22] <Aioros> glebihan: I did what I said, using the-k option but still says the package is not signed
[17:22] <sipior> BasicXP: ubuntu membership?
[17:22] <abhijit> BasicXP, then just ask to canonical people
[17:22] <BasicXP> sipior: yup     abhijit: where?
[17:22] <glebihan> Aioros, how are you trying to install it ?
[17:22] <Aioros> I used the public key after the option-k
[17:22] <oryxtec> please any one can tell me on which port vnc works is it TCP or UDP? if we install and configure VNC on ubuntu?
[17:22] <st__> and I have two(!!) Xorgs running, one 661 on tty7, and 1592 on tty8, is that a bug?
[17:22] <ZykoticK9> !member | sipior
[17:22] <DouglasK> Question: Is Remote Desktop supposed to be compatible with Desktop Effects?
[17:23] <hello123> ZykoticK9 ?
[17:23] <abhijit> BasicXP, http://www.canonical.com/
[17:23] <Aioros> I ran an apt-get update and then apt-get install package
[17:23] <wickedSA> oryxtec: usually 5900 to start but its configurable
[17:23] <BasicXP> abhijit: so, i should contact them by e-mail?
[17:23] <abhijit> BasicXP, yah
[17:23] <wickedSA> oryxtec: and I am pretty sure its tcp
[17:23] <BasicXP> abhijit: okay, thx
[17:23] <sinman> ZykoticK9: Is there another way to do it in gnome. I know when I messed around with kubuntu I could do it. or is that something with KDE you can do with no problem
[17:23] <glebihan> Aioros, could you pastebin the output of "apt-get update" ?
[17:23] <sipior> ZykoticK9: thank you.
[17:23] <abhijit> BasicXP, welcome.
[17:24] <oryxtec> wickedSA: but i mean to ask which protocol does it use. is it TCP or UDP
[17:24] <ZykoticK9> sinman, compiz is the only way under gnome (KDE is different)
[17:24] <Kritoslap> Hello, were is the path to this file in ubuntu? /boot/grub/menu.ls
[17:24] <wickedSA> oryxtec: pretty sure its tcp
[17:24] <oryxtec> humm
[17:25] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 > Kritoslap
[17:25] <sinman> ZykotickK9: k then I won't worry about it then
[17:25] <st__> Kritoslap, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[17:25] <Kritoslap> st__,  Thanks
[17:25] <wickedSA> oryxtec: also, googling is effective for this sort of thing :)
[17:25] <ZykoticK9> Kritoslap, that file grub.cfg shouldn't be edited
[17:25] <Loshki> oryxtec it *is* tcp. The proof is that you can tunnel it over ssh...
[17:26] <Kritoslap> ZykoticK9,  Well what can I do, wine has problems with lineage 2 on ati drivers.
[17:26] <st__> I tried to swithe users without logging out, and now I have two(!!) Xorgs running, one 661 on tty7, and 1592 on tty8, is that a bug?
[17:26] <tacomaster> why is it when you do a sudo apt-get upgrade from ternimal i get ***KB/s and not *** Kb/s because network speed is rated at kilo bytes not kilobits
[17:26] <ZykoticK9> Kritoslap, see /etc/default/grub
[17:26] <Kritoslap> ZykoticK9, "I added nopat to my boot line" this is the only fix I found on the bug list
[17:26] <elpasmo> DouglasK: try the following: run gconf-editor in your remote computer and go to /desktop/gnome/remote_access. You have to mark the option disable_xdamage.
[17:26] <Kritoslap> ZykoticK9,  Were can I add nopat to my boot line? in /etc/default/grub?
[17:26] <ZykoticK9> Kritoslap, i don't see how wine & grub can be related, but good luck.  add boot options to /etc/default/grub
[17:26] <Aioros> one minute, plz
[17:26] <yunosh> hi, looks like my old reiser hard drive was using a different charset under suse than ubuntu is using now on a new system. i can't specify a charset when mounting that old reiser driver though. how can fix/workaround this?
[17:26] <DouglasK> elpasmo, will do.
[17:27] <ZykoticK9> Kritoslap, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=

[17:27] <Kritoslap> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=nopat"?

[17:28] <st__> yunosh, why charset wasn't utf-8 in first place?
[17:28] <ZykoticK9> Kritoslap, i've never seen nopat as a boot option before???  but i think it would be like  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nopat"
[17:28] <yunosh> i have no idea, this drive was partitioned and formatted by suse automatically many, many years ago
[17:28] <Kritoslap> ZykoticK9,  There is a grub_cmdline_linux_default there with empty characters between quotes..do I make another one or use that?
[17:29] <ZykoticK9> Kritoslap, use the existing one - just add between the "s
[17:29] <Kritoslap> ZykoticK9,  Ok thanks
[17:29] <headkase314> Kritoslap, you need to update GRUB to make the change take effect
[17:29] <st__> yunosh, why you cannot mount it and run the script which translates filenames?
[17:30] <Kritoslap> headkase314,  I did update-grub in the terminal thanks
[17:30] <ZykoticK9> headkase314, thanks - forgot about that
[17:30] <yunosh> st__: which script?
[17:30] <headkase314> Kritoslap, ZykoticK9 ;)
[17:30] <st__> which you'll write in your preferred language or find in the internet
[17:31] <yunosh> st__: okay, i asked because you were saying "the" script
[17:32] <st__> ok "a" script then
[17:32] <yunosh> st__: that might be an option

[17:33] <wickedSA> yunosh: I guess reiser doesnt know about iocharset huh? suckage.
[17:34] <Artemios> Hello folks. I have a problem using any linux and Ubuntu too. My eyes get tired quickly. I tried to play with brightness and use windows fonts, but it doesn't help. The screen resolution is 60, same as it is under Windows. Does anybody know the reason of my eye tiredness.
[17:34] <yunosh> wickedSA: no :/
[17:34] <st__> wickedSA, only vfat uses iocharset
[17:34] <st__> Artemios, is it LCD?
[17:35] <Artemios> st__, yes
[17:35] <wickedSA> st__: ah right.
[17:35] <st__> Artemios, try use full hinting+no antialias+ no subpixel rendering
[17:35] <Artemios> st__, i use them
[17:36] <Aioros> glebihan: I think I found the problem, I'll try again.
[17:36] <st__> I tried to swithe users without logging out, and now I have two(!!) Xorgs running, one 661 on tty7, and 1592 on tty8, is that a bug?
[17:36] <glebihan> Aioros, ok, let me know if it works
[17:36] <Artemios> st__, is it possible, that the real screen resolution is lower then 60?
[17:37] <st__> Artemios, it doesn't matter as the real resolution is many times higher
[17:37] <headkase314> Artemios, for the 60 I believe you mean the refresh rate not the resolution?
[17:37] <Artemios> headkase314, sorry, i really mean the refresh rate.
[17:38] <glebihan> st__, not sure but I would say it's the normal behavior
[17:38] <headkase314> Artemios, ok, now that's clarified see what people say from here! =)
[17:38] <ikar> hi, how do i install java so that i can login to my bankid?
[17:39] <st__> wait in means 1 XOrg for 1 user? o_O
[17:40] <glebihan> st__, yes, same thing here

[17:41] <ikar> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, ok, Thanks!
[17:42] <S00000> Hi, does someone know how to (if its possible) get more than 12 comands in Compiz->comands ?
[17:42] <S00000> it's for screen bindings ..
[17:43] <glebihan> S00000, I don't think it's possible
[17:44] <rob_p> S00000: Call a script.
[17:45] <S00000> what do u mean ? call a script
[17:45] <rob_p> S00000: Write a little script with all the commands you want run.  Then just put the script in as one of the commands.
[17:46] <plitter> hello i tried to reset all the stupid things i did in my gnome window and wanted to go back to a "regular" view. so i formatted the root and installed ubuntu again, but there is still a lot of the old configurations that are left, is there an easy way to fix this?
[17:46] <headkase314> !panels | plitter
[17:47] <S00000> yeah, well i have scripts that i run with screen bindings, but id like to call each scripts with a different binding
[17:47] <plitter> headkase314: thanks:D
[17:47] <plitter> headkase314: wow that was easy:P
[17:47] <headkase314> plitter, I think that's what you mean?  Ok, you're welcome! ;)
[17:47] <rahduke_> have the atheros wifi driver issues been resolved in 10.04 and above? bout to install netbook 10.10 wondering if im going to run into wifi issues
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> plitter:  i dont see how you refromated and kept settings.. inless you had a seperate /home/ partition
[17:48] <rahduke_> anyone?>
[17:49] <rahduke_> Dr_Willis: is the man
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> plitter:  you could of just deleted the proper configs in your users home also.
[17:49] <rahduke_> this guy is always puttin in work
[17:49] <rahduke_> what a trooper
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> rahduke_:  im soon to be the Sleeping Man. Back on 3rd shift.
[17:49] <headkase314> rahduke_, I'm running 10.04 and here is the pastebin of my wifi hardware -> http://pastebin.com/NsCrzSdN  It worked out of the box for me, nothing extra needed worked from first boot.
[17:49] <rahduke_> whos gunna step up in your absence?
[17:49] <plitter> Dr_Willis: seperate home partition;) but then i would have to find the proper settings...
[17:50] <JuJuBee> I can't get NIS to bind to the YP server and school starts tomorrow.  Any help?
[17:50] <rahduke_> headkase314: do you know what wifi card you have in there?
[17:50] <howithink> can someone help me with squid?
[17:50] <rahduke_> i cant look at pastebin right now.... using IRC on my fone
[17:50] <headkase314> rahduke_, I'm 64 bit  AR2413 802.11bg NIC
[17:50] <mikeg3> Hi...irc seems missing from my version of Empathy.  How do I add it?
[17:50] <Aioros> glebihan: Failed. Recompile the package with dpkg-rebuildpackage 99999999-k, I sent the package to the repository, ran the scanpackages the server, but still trying to install the package on a client he complains that the package is not signed.
[17:50] <howithink> i have installed squid and it is wokring find, but how do i get it to authenticate against our AD 2008 r2?
[17:50] <headkase314> rahduke_, it's Atheros
[17:51] <Aioros> sorry, dpkg-rebuildpackage -k99999999
[17:51] <glebihan> Aioros, oh forgot one thing, did you add your key to your apt keys ?
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> plitter:  they are not too hard to find. in the .gnome* and .gconf* dirs.. sure easier then reformating/reinstalling :)
[17:52] <howithink> anyone? i have installed squid and it is wokring find, but how do i get it to authenticate against our AD 2008 r2?
[17:52] <abhijit> doxbox mount is not working. i have tc in one folder. help
[17:52] <rahduke_> headkase314: that sounds promising
[17:52] <rahduke_> thanks alot man
[17:52] <headkase314> rahduke_, you're welcome, good luck for you! ;)
[17:52] <glaucous> Trying to edit the xorg.conf to get the correct resolution (before GUI) at boot. Although how do I get the name of my monitor?
[17:52] <ZykoticK9> mikeg3, Empathy is a terrible IRC client - there is a "bug" where you need to add another type of account prior to being able to use IRC.  My recommendation however is to use a real IRC client - xchat is a popular GUI client.
[17:52] <Aioros> glebihan: I have a problem here because this repository was created in server with Mandriva. So I'm not apt-key installed.
[17:53] <plitter> Dr_Willis: probably:P just wanted to do something on my own:P (little teenager)
[17:53] <duffydack> Smuxi is looking good as an IRC client.
[17:53] <dpac_> mikeg3: xchat rocks!
[17:53] <|Sacred|> kvirc is pretty nice, but somewhat limited
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> quassle has so many features its scary
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> I will stick with WeeChat for now
[17:55] <Aioros> glebihan: Looking at the Release file I see that it was entered with the key
[17:55] <glebihan> Aioros, I don't get it, if you're using apt, you must have apt-key
[17:56] <st__> what could I replace Gnome desktop with to not be so gaudy and slow?
[17:56] <sinman> does anyone know how i can check to see if the wireless driver would be available in ubuntu 10.10 install
[17:56] <headkase314> Aioros, glebihan, On my brand new install I have apt-key available - nothing extra was installed to get it, came by default.
[17:56] <wickedSA> st__: I'm pretty fond of xmonad
[17:57] <wickedSA> st__: it has none of the bells and whistles, but fast as hell

[17:59] <Scunizi> if I change DNS servers in my router do I have to do any cache clearing in the computer to make the change active?
[17:59] <wickedSA> st__: you can actually run it within gnome, so you get the menus and whatnot. its a tiling WM, might not be what you want. for me its awesome.
[17:59] <yunosh> st__: "the" script is convmv btw :)
[18:00] <Rastafari> Im with a bit torrent download that isnt showing the window on the toolbar , so I cant see the dowload .... things close from nothing
[18:00] <Rastafari> maybe its a problem of updating ?
[18:00] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Scunizi: your computer might have a few DNS records cached, but you're probably not running a local caching nameserver on your computer, so no

[18:06] <Rastafari> Pici:  I doubt there will be info for me to upgrade
[18:06] <denisbr> anybody ?
[18:06] <Pici> !es | mafabuda
[18:06] <headkase314> Rastafari, download a new cd image for 10.04, boot from it and format the current install and overwrite with the new install.
[18:06] <Pici> Rastafari: Why do you doubt that?
[18:06] <u7_> there
[18:06] <headkase314> Rastafari, since you are on 8.04 this "clean install" will be much faster and much less prone to errors.
[18:07] <bodwick> Janhaj maybe some of gnome settings are faulty, try creating a second account for tesing
[18:07] <wickedSA> Rastafari: there is no need to wipe your current installation, dont listen to that
[18:07] <u7_> how do I change my nuckname
 como estas chicko ?
[18:07] <KittyBoots> If any of you see Cathodray, give a thanks for me.  Bug help the other day and I got disconnected without giving thanks.
[18:07] <Pici> u7_: /nick newnick
[18:07] <mafabuda> hola
[18:07] <Rastafari> can I do that using my synaptic ?
[18:07] <Pici> Rastafari: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes has all the information you need about upgrading.
[18:07] <mafabuda> tengo un problema con mi red inalambrica
 i need to join ubuntu-es
[18:08] <tracy69> u need
[18:08] <KittyBoots> I mean big help with shell script writing.
[18:08] <Pici> Rastafari: Actually https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades is a more direct link.
[18:08] <donkeyy> there
 there people speak spanish only
[18:08] <Janhaj> bodwick: it fault when i start window rules in compiz and then press alt+f2.. i remove .compiz and .config/compiz.. :/
[18:08] <Rastafari> Pici thx
[18:08] <headkase314> wickedSA, 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04.  Hmm, long upgrade path with chance for errors at each step.  I'd clean install - much faster.
[18:08] <donkeyy> I am having trouble installing my wireless pci adapter on ubuntu
[18:08] <mafabuda> ok
[18:08] <donkeyy> I mean the driver
[18:09] <Pici> headkase314: No... You can upgrade directly from 8.04 to 10.04.
  thats nothing new
[18:09] <canthus13> headkase314: actually, 8.04 > 10.04
[18:09] <bodwick> Janhaj if you know it's compiz related just switch to metacity or purge compiz settings
[18:09] <wickedSA> headkase314: be brave, and follow the docs :)
[18:09] <headkase314> Pici, ok - then I stand corrected!
[18:09] <tracy69> what card do you have donkeyy ?
[18:09] <dan-agaric> #agaric
[18:09] <wickedSA> headkase314: and have a backup handy at all times :)
[18:09] <donkeyy> I have a zonet
[18:09] <mafabuda> thanks tracy69
[18:09] <donkeyy> pci
[18:09] <Janhaj> bodwick: i deleted compiz setting and without success..
[18:09] <Janhaj> bodwick: without success login
[18:09] <tracy69> mafabuda, youre welcome
[18:10] <E8newallm> Anyone know of a Japanese on-screen keyboard?
[18:10] <Rastafari> Using packages from repositories not controlled by Ubuntu is not recommended as it can be a security risk and may break or complicate your upgrade thats important
[18:10] <bodwick> Janhaj try the secon user account idea, hm?
 zonet? what is that ? could u put lspci in ubuntu paste bin ?
[18:10] <bodwick> *second
[18:10] <Janhaj> bodwick: yes yes.. so moment please
