[05:03] <Chipzzz> tprow: try starting in recovery mode & then safe graphics mode
[05:04] <ohsix> _skpl: grub is the thing that shows the menu at boot
[05:04] <tprow> Chipzzz: that is not good enough
[05:04] <ecinx> how can i fix my fonts? they are barely readable
[05:04] <tprow> I need full 3D acceleration
[05:04] <tprow> I had it under Ubuntu 8.04.4
[05:04] <blackxored> Ok, then anybody knows about a way? (Which i don't think so, which is pretty basically what vpn's are for) to get encryption and accessing to a private LAN from the outside?
[05:04] <ohsix> tprow: you might not get it with an i8xx chipset
[05:04] <ecinx> i don't understand the configure antialiasing options in system settings , application appearance (KDE)
[05:04] <_skpl> ohsix, i dont have a grub menu at startup
[05:04] <Chipzzz> tprow: failsafe graphics doesn't work either?
[05:05] <tprow> ohsix: but it worked with Ubuntu 8.04.4
[05:05] <ohsix> tprow: or you might need to just stick with 8.04
[05:05] <tprow> Chipzzz: it does
[05:05] <gordian> hey guys, im receiving an error in xrandr 'configure crtc failed', any way around this? I just need 720p again! =(
[05:05] <tprow> and it says: i810
[05:05] <JeffCBR> blackxored: How do I reverse sysv-rc-conf gdm disable?
[05:05] <tprow> I guess I'd better just remove i915_drv.so
[05:05] <ohsix> tprow: try asking about i8xx in #intel-gfx
[05:05] <DaGeek247> ecinx choose a better font?
[05:05] <Loshki> blackxored: well, there's ssh, the poor man's vpn...
[05:05] <J_C> how about ssh?
[05:05] <ohsix> JeffCBR: try enable
[05:05] <blackxored> JeffCBR: like enable? :P
[05:05] <JeffCBR> Figured... wanted to make sure.
[05:05] <JeffCBR> :P
[05:05] <blackxored> Loshki, J_C: I've though about it in the past, kind of tricky to set it up right?
[05:05]  * JeffCBR never assumes.
[05:06] <ecinx> the font looks good on my laptop, not my dekstop the font is 'ubuntu'
[05:06] <J_C> blackxored: it depends on the connection usage. VPN's are encapulated and encrypted which is a lot of "overhead". straight ssh workks ok if you only need termibal access
[05:06] <J_C> terminal
[05:06] <Senjai> BlackBinary, Very easy to set up ssh.
[05:06] <iflema> !nox | _skpl hold shift at/on boot to get the menu
[05:06] <Senjai> blackxored, Very easy to set up ssh.
[05:07] <J_C> ssh isn't tricky, not too much anyway.
[05:07] <ohsix> JeffCBR: there are manual pages for most anything, if you want to know things
[05:07] <Senjai> !ssh | blackxored
[05:07] <J_C> run the sshd daemon on the server and connect using "ssh"
[05:07] <Loshki> blackxored: more work on the client side than the setup for vpn I'd say if you need udp support....
[05:07] <blackxored> don't tell what ssh is
[05:07] <DaGeek247> ecinx just try it and see if it does anything. the fonts can change in detail according to the screensize.
[05:07] <blackxored> a VPN through ssh is tricky
[05:07] <J_C> the first time it will ask you if you want to connect due to unknown keys, after that, no prob
[05:07] <Senjai> Nope, not really.
[05:08] <blackxored> ok guys there are some pointers?
[05:08] <Senjai> Just install openssh on the computer you want to connect to
[05:08] <J_C> !sshd
[05:08] <ohsix> Senjai: dialup is in play, vpn untenable
[05:08] <J_C> !ssh
[05:08] <blackxored> Senjai: it's already there obviously
[05:08] <Chipzzz> tprow: is it lucid?
[05:08] <DaGeek247> J_C, stop
[05:09] <tprow> Chipzzz: it's lucid yeah
[05:09] <tprow> lucid dream
[05:09] <J_C> I  have used putty with ssh/X forwarding over a modem before, but it is slow as molassas
[05:09] <tprow> a dream so lucid it won't work right
[05:09] <Chipzzz> tprow: Have you seen this?: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[05:09] <J_C> stop what?
[05:09] <blackxored> J_C: I don't want X, I want tunneling
[05:09] <J_C> ssh
[05:09] <blackxored> I found it, let me try it for that matters
[05:09] <J_C> tunneling over a modem is slow, period
[05:10] <tprow> Chipzzz: thank you
[05:10] <JeffCBR> Yuck. On mIRC until Ubuntu reboots.
[05:10] <ohsix> you'll at best get access via proxy to web resources at work; it works but it's nothing like a vpn
[05:10] <J_C> it can be done, but not satisfactorally
[05:10] <Chipzzz> tprow: glad to help
[05:10] <Loshki> blackxored: many people use ssh for tunneling X apps. See also freenx which is said to be faster for that...
[05:10] <tprow> ugh...I have to exit irssi due to me running su <user> -c irssi in single user mode...
[05:10] <JeffCBR> blackxored: It looks like that may have worked. :D
[05:11] <JeffCBR> tprow: Try byobu
[05:11] <J_C> "ssh -X" will forward x through a ssh tunnel, but it is slow over a modem. Better than a VPN though
[05:11] <blackxored> JeffCBR: ???
[05:11] <blackxored> Loshki: tried freenx on the past, on a faster connection, it really rocked
[05:11] <blackxored> J_C: I meant i didn't needed X
[05:11] <JeffCBR> blackxored: Were you the one who helped me disable gdm?
[05:11] <BlackWeb> Has anyone experienced the fonts on some of the applications to not be visible
[05:12] <blackxored> JeffCBR: I wrote the command yes
[05:12] <BlackWeb> trying to solve it but with not luck
[05:12] <J_C> blackxored: best to say exactly what you need?
[05:12] <blackxored> J_C: I want encryption, port forwarding and a gateway to my work's private LAN
[05:12] <J_C> for smb? X/ or just a term?
[05:12] <trackstar> Hi all. Kind of a n00b question but I just hooked up my ubuntu pc to my new TV with an HDMI cable (from an on-board HDMI port) and am disappointed that it didn't automatically detect the new display. is there a trick to getting this to work?
[05:13] <blackxored> JeffCBR: what about it?
[05:13] <ohsix> trackstar: are you using kubuntu?
[05:13] <JeffCBR> Ok, actually, that didn't work, blackxored... reboot and it's back.
[05:13] <trackstar> ohsix, no
[05:13] <ohsix> try xrandr --auto in a terminal
[05:13] <blackxored> JeffCBR: umm weird
[05:14] <Loshki> trackstar: you might ask on #mythtv-users. They have tons of experience hooking tvs up to pcs...
[05:14] <blackxored> JeffCBR: I actually don't advise this but try update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[05:14] <trackstar> ohsix, "Failed to get size of gamma for output default"
[05:14] <trackstar> Loshki, okay, thanks
[05:15] <ohsix> Loshki: they'll have you butcher your install too ;]
[05:15] <trackstar> Maybe I should just restart.
[05:15] <JeffCBR> blackxored: That doesn't work in 10.10 due to some change.
[05:15] <JeffCBR> Thanks, though.
[05:15] <Loshki> ohsix: In that case, we can butcher your install right here...
[05:15] <J_C> http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html
[05:16] <JeffCBR> What can I grep to see what processes are running for gdm to work?
[05:16] <JeffCBR> ps -e | grep tty7 shows only Xorg.
[05:16] <Loshki> J_C: note that levels 3 thru 5 are the same as level 2...
[05:17] <ohsix> trackstar: if you open the monitor applet from system -> preferences does it detect them all
[05:18] <J_C> Loshki: no they are different, classic UNIX is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel
[05:19] <freakabcd> hi all
[05:19] <ohsix> trackstar: xrandr is the ultimate arbiter, if it can't see anything on the connection then you probably need to debug that and the desktop stuff is working as expected
[05:19] <iflema> !nox | JeffCBR
[05:19] <J_C> runlevel 2 starts without networks, runlevel 3 is network + multi-user, runlevel 45 is X
[05:19] <JeffCBR> iflema, that will prevent the processes from even starting?
[05:19] <Loshki> J_C: I believe debian broke^H^H^H^H^H changed the runlevel stuff, and most of the derived distros inherited it..
[05:19] <J_C> 5, I mean
[05:19] <ohsix> J_C: that might be convention, but you can have them do whatever you want
[05:19] <J_C> could be
[05:19] <freakabcd> my laptop is running 10.04 Lucid now. What is the easiest way to upgrade to 10.10 Maverick ?
[05:20] <J_C> but not standard
[05:20] <yahooeny> hey I have my own problem too; after something went wrong with my package manager, and java not restarting, I restarted my PC, and could no longer log in. There was a message saying "The Gnome power settings defaults were incorrectly installed. See System admin"...
[05:20] <ohsix> freakabcd: update-manager, it should say maverick is available
[05:20] <JeffCBR> sudo shutdown 0
[05:20] <freakabcd> i wanted to go straight to 11.04 Natty, but i gather the repos aren;t really ready with all the packages
[05:20] <Chipzzz> Loshki: you mean about the change to upstart?
[05:20] <ohsix> freakabcd: not to mention it's only february :]
[05:20] <maco> freakabcd: you cant skip 10.10 on your way to natty, but we would welcome more alpha testers
[05:20] <freakabcd> ohsix: well, i ran the kubuntu live disc. and it was rocking!
[05:21] <ohsix> if that's your threshold for rockin' gnome must put you in a coma
[05:21] <Loshki> Chipzzz: yes, I think it was the upstart stuff that did it...
[05:21] <freakabcd> maco: only thing i'm afraid of is that i might lose use of some of the packages due to them being missing/etc. on natty repos
[05:21] <J_C> ohsix: of course you can, just change your rc.x directories, but there is a difference by default, generally
[05:21] <trackstar> ohsix, any idea what that error means? "Failed to get size of gamma for output default"? If it helps I used to have an LCD monitor and a CRT tv (hooked up by s-video) on this pc, then I got rid of the monitor and it was just the CRT ... now there's the other TV by HDMI too
[05:22] <freakabcd> ohsix: indeed. i sometimes feel using gnome makes me lethargic
[05:22] <freakabcd> strange as it may seem
[05:22] <ohsix> trackstar: its just a message, it shouldn't be an error
[05:22] <JeffCBR> when you shutdown, does it hang at the ubuntu splash?
[05:22] <maco> freakabcd: packages are generally only removed if they are unmaintained or have been having build failures for over a year
[05:22] <Chipzzz> Loshki: the runlevels still work, they are just managed and executed differently now
[05:22] <maco> freakabcd: (more like two years)
[05:22] <uRock> I wish they'd remove firestarter
[05:22] <freakabcd> maco: wow. so basically all the packages are already built for natty?
[05:22] <cntb> i  feel Imaybe pushing my luck already have realplayer11 installed - in mac and pc it adds downloader inyoutube and convertor what abiut linux inthis aspect
[05:23] <maco> freakabcd: of course! we're at alpha 2!
[05:23] <freakabcd> sweet
[05:23] <freakabcd> i will update-manager to 10.10 and then update-manager to 11.04 ?
[05:23] <ohsix> freakabcd: damn straight; working software is boring as hell
[05:23] <maco> freakabcd: well i mean in the first place, they are simply copied over from maverick to start. then we sync anything of which there are new versions from debian during the first 2 weeks
[05:23] <mneptok> freakabcd: you cannot go from 10.04 straight to 11.04
[05:23] <maco> freakabcd: to get from 10.10 to 11.04, youd do "sudo do-release-upgrade -d"
[05:23] <maco> mneptok: not what freakabcd said, so its ok :)
[05:24] <Loshki> Chipzzz: My point is that you can't turn off X11 in standard ubuntu simply by changing the runlevel as you can in other distros
[05:24] <uRock> or break sources.list
[05:24] <freakabcd> maco: thats what i said 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 :D
[05:24] <J_C> Loshki: exactly
[05:24] <mneptok> maco: read again: 22:19 < freakabcd> my laptop is running 10.04 Lucid now. What is the easiest way to upgrade to 10.10 Maverick ?
[05:24] <maco> mneptok: scroll farther down
[05:24] <freakabcd> thanks. now i shall update tp 10.10 first
[05:24] <ohsix> Loshki: not that that's a useful statement anyways; you want to disable it, and possibly set what runlevel it actually runs at
[05:24] <uRock> freakabcd, a clean install would be easier
[05:24] <maco> mneptok: <freakabcd> i will update-manager to 10.10 and then update-manager to 11.04 ?
[05:24] <Chipzzz> Loshki: Ah... sorry
[05:25] <ohsix> i suggest running stuff in a virtual machine before upgrading
[05:25] <J_C> but it can still be done without removing gdm
[05:25] <JeffCBR> Ok, the "text" in grub did it! Thanks.
[05:25] <JeffCBR> And sorry to whoever told me that earlier and I ignored them.
[05:25] <maco> JeffCBR: "text" is not actually a valid instruction. it's just the lack of "quiet splash" that does it
[05:26] <ohsix> you didn't ignore them, you said you didn't want to mess with your bootloader
[05:26] <JeffCBR> i left quite splash...
[05:26] <JeffCBR> just added text to the end
[05:26] <J_C> http://askubuntu.com/questions/22498/how-to-auto-boot-into-text-mode
[05:26] <freakabcd> i have lucid-bleed ppa enabled
[05:26] <ohsix> ugh
[05:26] <freakabcd> is there also maverick-bleed ppa ?
[05:27] <ohsix> be sure to ppa-purge any ppa's you have installed before doing an upgrade
[05:27] <freakabcd> ohsix: ok. i will run ppa-purge
[05:27] <maco> JeffCBR: oh. well thats interesting....
[05:27] <iflema> JeffCBR: its just the way to disable gnome *not* the other way....
[05:28] <AbhijiT> hello!!!! :)
[05:28] <JeffCBR> Ok...
[05:28] <JeffCBR> I think I'm ready to unplug the mouse, keyboard, and monitor and toss this thing is the closet. :D
[05:29] <droidftw> do i have to wipe my whole hardrive to upgrade when 11.04 comes out
[05:29] <ohsix> no
[05:30] <J_C> no
[05:30] <droidftw> what do i do
[05:30] <JeffCBR> is there a command to remotely restart the system?
[05:30] <ohsix> restart?
[05:30] <JeffCBR> shutdown 0 seems to leave it running.
[05:30] <J_C> personally I would follow the upgrade instructions on Ubuntu's site
[05:30] <maco> JeffCBR: sudo reboot
[05:30] <ohsix> or shutdown -r now
[05:31] <AbhijiT> !upgrade | droidftw
[05:31] <JeffCBR> how about to power down?
[05:31] <ohsix> shutdown -h now
[05:31] <ohsix> you might want to look into suspending, and enabling wake on lan
[05:31] <J_C> -r = reboot, -h = halt
[05:31] <JeffCBR> ohsix: Good idea.
[05:31] <ohsix> instead of shutting it down you can suspend it, and wake it up from the network
[05:31] <maco> JeffCBR: if shutdown -h doesnt actually power off, you need to add -p
[05:32] <JeffCBR> omg!
[05:32] <maco> JeffCBR: usually only old hardware should need that though
[05:32] <uRock> JeffCBR, sudo poweroff
[05:32] <freakabcd> any idea how much space i need on / for the upgrade to be successful?
[05:32] <maco> freakabcd: a gig-ish?
[05:32] <freakabcd> update-manager says it will download 1.5GB and i have 1.7GB free on /
[05:32] <ohsix> or broken bioses on new hardware :D if its broken though, a lot of other stuff will be too
[05:32] <JeffCBR> Do I have to hold shift every time for the grub solution to work?!
[05:32] <freakabcd> is that extra space enough?
[05:32] <maco> JeffCBR: you can make it permanent
[05:32] <maco> freakabcd: should be. to get more "sudo apt-get clean"
[05:32] <uRock> ohsix, when using sudo poweroff?
[05:32] <freakabcd> okies
[05:33] <maco> JeffCBR: edit /etc/default/grub to have the change you want, then run sudo update-grub
[05:33] <Chipzzz> JeffCBR: to shutdown it's sudo shutdown -P now
[05:33] <gaelfx> freakabcd: well, if that's all it's downloading, then unpacking will probably be more, so not really
[05:33] <JeffCBR> shutdown -h worked. :D
[05:33] <BlackWeb> would anyone know how to make fonts on k3b be visible
[05:34] <_skpl> can someone help me? my grub menu had dissapeared and my system goes straight to ubuntu
[05:35] <_skpl> to the desktop i mean
[05:35] <JeffCBR> how do i make changes to grub permanent?
[05:35] <_skpl> the file /boot/grub/menu.lst seems to be missing
[05:35] <freakabcd> gaelfx: unpacking happens in-place
[05:35] <o2oo> hi
[05:36] <uRock> _skpl, sudo update-grub
[05:36] <freakabcd> i.e. it doesn;t unpack in a tmp dir and then remove the old stuff
[05:36] <freakabcd> iirc it simply unpacks over the old stuff
[05:36] <Chipzzz> JeffCBR: edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub
[05:36] <erikaflusa> hi all
[05:36] <freakabcd> correct me if i am wrong, please
[05:36] <_skpl> uRock: i already tried that, still no grub menu

[05:41] <Chipzzz> _skpl: try update-grub
[05:41] <_skpl> i seem to remember it dissaperaing after i tried an alternate 11.04 install
[05:41] <_skpl> Chipzzz: i did, as well as update-grub2, neither one worked.
[05:42] <thethinker> how do i control a win xp home computer from ubuntu 10.10?
[05:42] <erikaflusa> hey how i find wine on 10.10
[05:42] <Chipzzz> is your /etc/default/grub file ok?
[05:42] <uRock> !pm | erikaflusa
[05:42] <Datz> thethinker: try vnc
[05:42] <Datz> !vnc | thethinker
[05:42] <_skpl> Chipzzz: i dunno, let me check.
[05:42] <erikaflusa> what urock
[05:42] <uRock> !pm | erikaflusa
[05:42] <thethinker> Datz: on the xp computer?
[05:43] <Chipzzz> _skpl: that's what update-grub uses to build the grub menu
[05:43] <Datz> thethinker: vnc is a remote desktop
[05:43] <uRock> !pm > erikaflusa
[05:43] <trackstar> So I switched my BIOS to use the onboard HDMI as the primary display and not the video card, but since ubuntu is not configured to use the HDMI display it doesn't boot up, and I have no choice but to restart. is there a safe mode or something I can somehow trigger?
[05:43] <JeffCBR> iflema: /etc/default/grub didn't look like I expected. What do I add and where?
[05:43] <erikaflusa> how do i find wine after i installed it
[05:44] <AbhijiT> ericm|ubuntu, in applications menu
[05:44] <_skpl> Chipzzz: here is my /etc/default/grub: http://pastebin.com/kgk5gayH
[05:44] <AbhijiT> :(
[05:44] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, in applications menu
[05:44] <erikaflusa> its not there
[05:44] <_skpl> Chipzzz: i dunno if it;s ok
[05:44] <erikaflusa> i installed it
[05:44] <freakabcd> can someone tell me where is au.archive.ubuntu.com ?
[05:45] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, you need to log out and log in to get menu updated. but you can also run wine from terminal just do wine <program.exe>
[05:45] <_skpl> Chipzzz: can you read it and tell me?
[05:45] <sacarlson> avis-: you could add it to crontab as @reboot sudo /usr/sbin/openvpn  --config /path/to/config/file.opvn
[05:45] <iflema> JeffCBR: the nox/text thing?? theres a bit that says.... i cant remeber... default something you should see the quiet and splash just remove and add text (/etc/default/grub)
[05:45] <Chipzzz> _skpl: checking it in a second
[05:45] <freakabcd> is it the aarnet mirror ?
[05:45] <_skpl> Chipzzz: ok, thanks
[05:45] <gh0st> is there a decompiler for ubuntu?
[05:45] <uRock> freakabcd, I am guessing they didn't pay their rent
[05:45] <erikaflusa> see i get error about exe i tell it to open with wine
[05:45] <iflema> JeffCBR: then do sudo update-grub
[05:45] <AbhijiT> freakabcd, no its australian local ubuntu repository
[05:46] <freakabcd> its not the aarnet mirror?
[05:46] <freakabcd> but they say they update daily
[05:46] <freakabcd> :(
[05:46] <JeffCBR> I'm rusty in Vi. What's the command to copy a line?
[05:46] <AbhijiT> freakabcd, not sure then
[05:46] <erikaflusa> say home  exe not marked as executable
[05:46] <familiaDias> hi
[05:47] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, you first need to manualy mark that .exe as executable
[05:47] <familiaDias> portugues?
[05:47] <avis-> sacarlson, you are awesome and wonderful thank you for that assistance
[05:47] <erikaflusa> how do i manual mark
[05:47] <iflema> freakabcd: i think it is... at least was.. look in xubuntufor 11.04??
[05:47] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, to do that right click on that file - properties - select executable
[05:47] <freakabcd> IT IS :)
[05:47] <iarp> Soooo i've got a strange issue. I've randomly been removed from the sudoers file BUT when i attach to my byobu session i can sudo anything i want. I'm afraid if i close this screen session i will lose all sudo abilitys, any ideas wth's going on?
[05:47] <freakabcd> good. because aarnet mirror is free from within uni :)
[05:48] <iflema> freakabcd: and 4 bigpond users =)
[05:48] <sacarlson> avis-: you might need to add to sudoer so you can do sudo with no password
[05:48] <void_pointer> bigpond user? People still actually use bigpond?
[05:48] <void_pointer> wow
[05:48] <erikaflusa> its eread only
[05:48] <erikaflusa> says read only
[05:48] <JoshDreamland> I'm having a difficult time getting an NVidia driver working, as usual.
[05:48] <Chipzzz> _skpl: the only diff I see between it and my own is this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[05:48] <JoshDreamland> Right now I'm in safe graphics mode.
[05:48] <void_pointer> Could be worse ... could be using bigpond AND going to U of Q
[05:48] <void_pointer> jokes, people, all jokes
[05:48] <JoshDreamland> When I run the NV control panel, it tells me the X driver isn't active, where the Additional Drivers menu says it is
[05:49] <erikaflusa> how do i change it
[05:49] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, yeah now select executable
[05:49] <_skpl> Chipzzz: could it be /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[05:49] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, in the permissions tab
[05:49] <freakabcd> void_pointer: lol biggiepond. i'm with tpg at home
[05:49] <JoshDreamland> "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." So I do, and it does nothing. So I reboot, and it never leaves a purple-background text mode.
[05:49] <erikaflusa> nothing there to type in or change
[05:50] <void_pointer> freakabcd you win. ATM I'm on Virgin pre-paid mobile broadband :(
[05:50] <familiaDias> E: Impossível encontrar o pacote linux-restricted-modules-2.6.35-25-generic
[05:50] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, you dont need to type when you right click on file -> properties -> permissions tab - > bottom of the dialog box there is an option called mar it as executable select that option
[05:50] <avis-> sacarlson, do you mean add sudo to root ?
[05:51] <freakabcd> void_pointer: lol
[05:51] <Chipzzz> _skpl: no, that file is created by update-grub, which gets its info from /etc/default/grub
[05:51] <cntb> where does 10.10 netbook store flv file from youtube 2 play it?
[05:51] <freakabcd> cntb: /tmp/FlashXX....
[05:51] <AbhijiT> cntb, /home/<username/tmp *i think*
[05:51] <avis-> sacarlson, btw, i am so thankful and grateful for your assistance all references to accomplishing this on the web usually entails complicated config files for the service itself.
[05:52] <JoshDreamland> I once managed to get it to where I could log in with the driver enabled, but the damned thing disabled my display's backlight
[05:52] <cntb> thks wiil look please check in your installs
[05:52] <Chipzzz> _skpl: try changing the line I mentioned, running update-grub, and then hold down the shift key when you reboot
[05:52] <_skpl> Chipzzz: what abotu this? http://pastebin.com/th7pvXBG
[05:53] <_skpl> Chipzzz: what do i do after i hold the shift key down?
[05:53] <avis-> sacarlson, i just added sudo to root last time i did that, horrible things happened to me, good filesystems with my most valuable files, my music collection, got fubared, though its likely hopefully ever wont happen again despite me not knowing how it was done
[05:53] <iflema> cntb: firefox?? /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/blahblahblah/cache     thers no .flv extension (sort by size)  something like that =)
[05:53] <belzeboo> sort by date modified
[05:53] <_skpl> Chipzzz: how should i change the line in /etc/default/grub? what should it say?
[05:53] <cntb> iflema ok
[05:53] <Fudge> how in debian would you perform the ubuntu command add-apt-repository
[05:54] <erikaflusa> imm telling u
[05:54] <freakabcd> iflema: what? flash stuff goes into /tmp/FlashXX...  without .flv if you are using firefox with latest flash plugin
[05:54] <erikaflusa> im looking at permission tab
[05:54] <maco> Fudge: by editing /etc/apt/sources.list or adding a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[05:54] <erikaflusa> abhill
[05:54] <avis-> i do not wish to learn grub2 i like making changes in grub2 along with documentation to guide me.  grub2 isn't nearly as easy for the inexperienced grub2 user/typical grub user
[05:54] <n1k0s> Hi everyone, ubuntu apache server security question... if an ip address is trying to get non-existant file, clearly in an attempt to compromise my server, should i block that ip address in my firewall rules?
[05:54] <erikaflusa> is my ubuntu out of date
[05:55] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, which version you are using?
[05:55] <iflema> freakabcd: well tell cntb =)
[05:55]  * AbhijiT wonders who is abhilll
[05:55] <freakabcd> i told him already!
[05:55] <erikaflusa> 10.10
[05:55] <cntb> thks all foun it
[05:55] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, its supported and newest
[05:55] <erikaflusa> just installed
[05:55] <amit> how to create more than one user through terminal via one command
[05:55] <_skpl> Chipzzz: i ran a boot info script and it says i have an unknow bootloader on sda2
[05:55] <erikaflusa> no updates
[05:55] <avis-> there is a very nice working package for maverick for 64-bit flash, i can get the ppa repo should anyone desire it.  it works great.  i prefer that one to the 32-bit hack for 64-bit systems, they've done good.
[05:56] <AbhijiT> amit <first command> && <second command
[05:56] <erikaflusa> im looking at permissions
[05:56] <erikaflusa> tab
[05:56] <erikaflusa> should i reboot
[05:56] <amit> means i have to use &&
[05:56] <sacarlson> avis-: well you can add to any username so that sudo won't need a password for only certain commands so it can limit the damage
[05:56] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, and you say that there is no execubale option in permissions tab?
[05:56] <erikaflusa> correct
[05:57] <JeffCBR> any way to clear the screen at a console login screen?
[05:57] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, ok go to terminal again. cd to the directory where that file is. then do chmod +x <filename.exe>
[05:57] <AbhijiT> JeffCBR, clear
[05:57] <avis-> sacarlson, you have something there it was run as sudo so perhaps since i did a sudo crontab -e i can omit the sudo from boot job @reboot does that sound logical ?
[05:57] <JeffCBR> before logging in
[05:57] <Chipzzz> _skpl: I was just going to ask you about that... you mentioned that you upgraded and then reverted... maybe the grub that's booting is the wrong one
[05:57] <erikaflusa> wait
[05:57] <erikaflusa> im confused
[05:58] <AbhijiT> so m i
[05:58] <AbhijiT> :(
[05:58] <sacarlson> avis-: I don't play with root crontab so not sure if it would work or not but that might be another option
[05:58] <JeffCBR> Ok!
[05:58] <AbhijiT> aah he left! :(
[05:58] <_skpl> Chipzzz: how do i fix it?
[05:58] <JeffCBR> I'm finally satisfied with my Ubuntu installation!
[05:58]  * JeffCBR smiles!
[05:58] <avis-> sacarlson, heard you loud and clear thank you will make the modifications anyway to remove sudo from root user ?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> _skpl: Can you pastebin the RESULTS.txt from boot info script?
[05:59] <_skpl> jordan yeah i already did
[05:59] <_skpl> http://pastebin.com/th7pvXBG
[05:59] <FORCEGC> how can i run docky in low quality to make it go faster?
[05:59] <avis-> sacarlson, are you sure it should be @reboot or @boot is there a similar @time because if i cold boot it might not start ?
[06:00] <_skpl> Jordan_U: this started after i tried to install 11.04 from an alternate install disc
[06:00] <_skpl> instead of a grub menu i get a blinking cursor, then it loads ubuntu desktop
[06:00] <Jordan_U> _skpl: That's the normal default. Hold shift to see the menu.
[06:01] <edoceo> After upgrading I can clean old kernels out of /boot right?  Then how to re-generate the grub configs?
[06:01] <sacarlson> avis-: yes I've used @reboot many times,  you can point it at a script that adds sleep 100 or something if you think your net won't be up at the time or do some kind of ping loop to wait for it to be up
[06:01] <Jordan_U> edoceo: Remove the old kernel packages, the grub menu will be regenerated automatically when you do.
[06:01] <_skpl> Jordan_U: even though it doesnt show the icons down at the bottom? it NOTHING BUT a cursor.
[06:01] <edoceo> Jordan_U: thx!
[06:02] <_skpl> i didnt used to have to press shift to get a grub menu
[06:02] <Jordan_U> _skpl: What version of Ubuntu were you using previously?
[06:02] <_skpl> 10.10
[06:02] <_skpl> i've re-installed since then
[06:02] <_skpl> but i still dont get a grub menu
[06:02] <sorianocarlos> Hello, room of ubuntu spanish ??
[06:02] <Lasivian> hiya, anyone here have a suggestion on a usb wifi card for Ubuntu?
[06:02] <FORCEGC> 10.10 has huge issues 10.04 is where it is at
[06:03] <extra11> FORCEGG like what
[06:03] <Jordan_U> _skpl: Ubuntu 10.10 should hide the grub menu by default also, unless it detects another OS (or detects that Ubuntu didn't boot properly the last time a boot was attempted).
[06:03] <Chipzzz> _skpl: take a look at this... it's old but the principles should still apply:http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-restore-grub-with-ubuntu-live-cd.html
[06:03] <AbhijiT> Lasivian, you want to buy a ubuntu supported usb wifi?
[06:03] <Lasivian> AbhijiT: precisely! :)
[06:04] <AbhijiT> Lasivian, look here http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog
[06:04] <iflema> FORCEGC: thats the whole idea behind LTS releases....
[06:04] <Lasivian> that's where i'm rummaging now
[06:04] <FORCEGC> yeah i know iflema
[06:04] <Lasivian> but, I figure this would possibly be a question that a human could answer faster :)
[06:04] <Jordan_U> _skpl: Chipzzz: Re-installing grub is not needed and will not change anything as this is the intended behavior (as far as grub goes, the splash screen after grub not working would be another issue).
[06:04] <_skpl> Jordan_U: how do i change the default so that it shows the grub menu?
[06:04] <AbhijiT> :-/
[06:05] <_skpl> i dont get a splash screen either, unless you mean the plymouth loader
[06:06] <Chipzzz> Jordan_U: it sounds like he installed another grub, uninstalled that version, but the machine is still booting to that grub
[06:06] <Chipzzz> (in another partition)
[06:07] <Jordan_U> _skpl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#/etc/default/grub%20(file)
[06:07] <_skpl> well i never uninstalled it, i just installed 10.10 over it, i never got to format the hd
[06:07] <Glutsch> lo
[06:07] <linuxuz3r> hi
[06:07] <linuxuz3r> whats a good sftp program for ubuntu
[06:08] <AbhijiT> !hardware | Lasivian try this
[06:08] <vodkanakas> i don't know i actuall just started ubuntu and have a question of my own
[06:08] <cntb> in home user folder how to create a link to another folder
[06:08] <avis-> sacarlson, again thank you and i appreciate that tip very much i never knew @reboot existed :)  have a pleasant evening, and i appreciate it
[06:08] <Chipzzz> _skpl: I would go with reinstalling grub
[06:09] <vodkanakas> i get this error when trying to update ubuntu 10.10 Failed to fetch http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krb5/libk5crypto3_1.8.1+dfsg-5ubuntu0.4_i386.deb 404  Not Found

[06:09] <erikaflusa> back
[06:09] <erikaflusa> How do i change the permissions of exe file
[06:10] <Chipzzz> erikaflusa: chmod +x file.exe
[06:10] <Jordan_U> _skpl: Chipzzz: Don't bother re-installing grub. The page I linked to describes how to unhide the menu.
[06:11] <_skpl> Jordan_U: i think you are rigth, it must be detcting the failed alternate install
[06:11] <varundesai> hi friends,i am a new bie of ubuntu recently converted from windows
[06:12] <AbhijiT> hi varundesai
[06:12] <varundesai> hi abhijit
[06:12] <AbhijiT> !in | varundesai
[06:12] <AbhijiT> !manual | varundesai
[06:12] <erikaflusa> do i type that in terminal
[06:13] <ohsix> derp
[06:13] <_skpl> Jordan_U: but dont you think it od that i dont get a splash screen either?
[06:13] <vodkanakas> hello is there anyone here that could help me with an error problem when i try to update?
[06:13] <vodkanakas> it says that all 6 things are 404 not found.
[06:13] <erikaflusa> i guess i have to run 9.04 to run wine programs
[06:13] <varundesai> i downloaded the manual abhijet,i have an issue with my acer aspire one 532h,i am unable to solve it,i tried a lot
[06:14] <Chipzzz> erikaflausa: yes, or right click on the file, look at the permissions & tick 'executable'
[06:14] <AbhijiT> varundesai, ask here to channel. with all details
[06:14] <erikaflusa> cause i tried everything an cant change the permission
[06:14] <erikaflusa> can someone please help
[06:14] <Jordan_U> _skpl: The splash screen is not done by grub. Grub passes the "splash" parameter to the kernel and that's it. Since grub is already passing "splash" to the kernel re-installing grub isn't going to change anything.
[06:14] <Chipzzz> erikaflusa: then use the terminal and type sudo chmod +x file.exe
[06:14] <Fuchs> erikaflusa: on what kind of media is this file?
[06:15] <ohsix> Chipzzz: that might not work depending on the filesystem
[06:15] <erikaflusa> how i do run chmod
[06:15] <AbhijiT> varundesai, 1st ask here
[06:15] <erikaflusa> exe file
[06:15] <erikaflusa> i downloaded
[06:15] <erikaflusa> wine is installed
[06:15] <erikaflusa> the hard drive
[06:15] <Fuchs> erikaflusa: because you cant do that on a read only media such as a cd or dvd or on a noexec partition
[06:16] <erikaflusa> its on my desktop
[06:16] <varundesai> i am using acer aspire one 532h,the main issue is with battery,the battery never charges upto 100 %,it takes several hours to charge,but never charge completely ,and after1 hour,a pop up will come stating battery is critically low
[06:16] <Fuchs> erikaflusa: plus you dont have to make it executable
[06:16] <varundesai> i never faced this problem in xp
[06:16] <erikaflusa> how though
[06:16] <erikaflusa> pokerstars.exe
[06:16] <Fuchs> erikaflusa: you can run it with    wine filename.exe    on a terminal
[06:16] <AbhijiT> varundesai, how old is this laptop and how old is battery?
[06:16] <erikaflusa> how  do i run wine from terminal
[06:16] <varundesai> it is just 9 months old
[06:16] <JeffCBR> whats a good text internet browser?
[06:17] <JeffCBR> Still Lynx?
[06:17] <Fuchs> erikaflusa: in that case open a terminal, cd Desktop; wine pokerstars.exe
[06:17] <BrutalSauce> hey guys im having a serious issue installing ubuntu
[06:17] <ohsix> JeffCBR: links
[06:17] <Andyman555> are there other alternatives to lynx?
[06:17] <Chipzzz> erikaflusa: many poker games won't run under wine but they can run in a virtualbox windows session
[06:17] <varundesai> no issue when i am with xp,but i dont want to switch again for xp for this reason
[06:17] <Andyman555> as a good text web browser?
[06:17] <Fuchs> you might have to Adapt  Desktop to the real foldername
[06:17] <AbhijiT> erikaflusa, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-run-executable-files-139554/
[06:17] <erikaflusa> says no such directory
[06:18] <JeffCBR> is links the same as lynx?
[06:18] <AbhijiT> varundesai, which version of ubuntu
[06:18] <Fuchs> erikaflusa: use the tab key to autocomplete the foldername for you,
[06:18] <ohsix> varundesai: linux shows the real capacity of the battery, as they age they lose a few percent; and i dunno why your battery drains so fast,  but you can get an idea from powertop
[06:18] <varundesai> i tried with ubuntu 10.10 and now i am using 10.04 lts
[06:18] <Fuchs> erikaflusa: with   ls   you can list the folders and files
[06:18] <BrutalSauce> im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and everytime i try to install it will go to the boot screen and then crash from there it brings up the actual purble screen then it goes to a weird messed up screen when it tries to load the gui
[06:18] <Fuchs> got to go to work, good luck
[06:18] <erikaflusa> do what
[06:18] <erikaflusa> your going to fast
[06:19] <Andyman555> :quit
[06:19] <varundesai> ohsix:what is powertop?
[06:19] <ohsix> JeffCBR: no, it isn't
[06:19] <erikaflusa> hell i was on 9.04 ubuntu an never had this damn problems
[06:19] <coz_> BrutalSauce,   which video is onboard?
[06:19] <coz_> video card
[06:19] <BrutalSauce> i dont have onboard video i only have a evga gt 240
[06:19] <AbhijiT> varundesai, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/155105-acer-5315-battery-not-charging.html
[06:20] <timewriter> i hate hardware marketing tactics
[06:20] <erikaflusa> what was changed in 1010
[06:20] <coz_> BrutalSauce,   ok hold down left shift key while booting to get to grub menu ,,, hit "e"   to edit kernel stanza and just before   "quiet splash"  put   nomodeset
[06:20] <erikaflusa> 10.10 that cause this kinda grief
[06:20] <coz_> BrutalSauce,  then hit the key mentioned there to boot with that in the boot line
[06:21] <erikaflusa> its crazy i installed wine
[06:21] <varundesai> i had gone through all the topics,they suggested to upgrade my bios,but i am unable to upgrade,as i am a new user,many of my friends warned me,if anything goes wrong,my mother board will damage,is there any safe procedure to upgrade the bios in ubuntu 10.04
[06:21] <erikaflusa> then download pokerstars.exe
[06:21] <erikaflusa> i ask to open using wine
[06:21] <AbhijiT> varundesai, to upgrade bios you download the .exe update from the vendor and install it from your xp
[06:21] <coz_> varundesai,  within linux?  that one I cant answer...  generall I dual boot with windows and update bios from windows
[06:22] <BrutalSauce> it says i dont have it installed rightnow im trying to install it
[06:22] <BrutalSauce> the wubi wasnt working so i decided to try to do it manuly
[06:22] <varundesai> that is my main problem,i totally erased my hard disk,now i am doing all my work with ubuntu only
[06:22] <sacarlson> varundesai: what do you hope to gain by the update of your bios?
[06:22] <gaelfx> there's more than one way to update a bios, a lot of them have onboard updaters that will let you update from a USB provided you have the right file ont here
[06:22] <varundesai> i dont have xp now
[06:22] <coz_> oh!!  wubi   I know absoluetely nothing about Wubi
[06:23] <erikaflusa> i still cant open the exe with winer
[06:23] <erikaflusa> wine
[06:23] <gaelfx> varundesai: what kind of motherboard do you have? do you know the model number?
[06:23] <erikaflusa> someone please help
[06:23] <BrutalSauce> ok so where do i hold shift down to enter e
[06:23] <bazhang> erikaflusa, check the appdb and join #winehq for help with particular apps
[06:23] <Chipzzz> erikaflusa: the most recent Pokerstars won't run under wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2899
[06:23] <bazhang> !appdb | erikaflusa
[06:23] <varundesai> sacarlson:many acer users suggested that the battery problem,and on/off of wifi will be solved if i upgrade to the latest bios
[06:24] <gaelfx> varundesai: is this a laptop? if so, do you know the model number?
[06:24] <erikaflusa> hey it runs fine under 9.04
[06:24] <gnewb> verundessai: That is Hardware, it is called Flashing the BIOS,usually, does not matter what OS you are running, that is like a physical change in the BIOS/CMOS . There is more info at computerhope(dot)com on that.
[06:24] <bazhang> erikaflusa, check in #winehq
[06:24] <varundesai> gaelfx:it is netbook,model is acer aspire one 532h
[06:24] <BrutalSauce> coz?
[06:25] <_skpl> Jordan_U: hi, i held down teh shift key like you said and got the grub menu, then i pressed e to get the selections settings, and it mentioned dos in the boot menu, is that strange?
[06:25] <Chipzzz> erikaflusa: it will probably run fine in virtualbox too
[06:25] <varundesai> gnewb:thank you i will go through it
[06:25] <erikaflusa> ubuntuscrewed up version 10
[06:25] <_skpl> Jordan_U: and i still cant get rid of the blinking cursor after grub loads
[06:25] <ohsix> you can flash the bios from a dos usb key
[06:25] <erikaflusa> i warned to  upgrade
[06:25] <erikaflusa> was warned
[06:25] <erikaflusa> dont upgrade
[06:25] <BrutalSauce> so im looking at my boot up process it is giving error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 209242
[06:25] <bazhang> erikaflusa, wine apps not working is an issue with wine. please stop complaining here
[06:25] <Chipzzz> lol... such is progress
[06:26] <sacarlson> varundesai: I'm not sure about the battery problem, but the wifi on off is that because rfkill  won't work to detect or turn wifi on and off?
[06:26] <a123456789> thanks alot
[06:26] <ohsix> erikaflusa: in 9.04 there was no wrapper to warn you to stop running random programs
[06:26] <erikaflusa> no 10.10 wont let the file open using wine
[06:26] <bazhang> erikaflusa, /join #winehq for particular apps. stop complaining here
[06:26] <ohsix> it will, but the file association is set to a script that checks that the executable bit is set, or it fails
[06:27] <ohsix> this is desirable
[06:27] <ohsix> the dialogue even says what it means and how to set it
[06:27] <_skpl> Jordan_U: did your ead the info in the boot info script? it says i have another bootloader on sda2
[06:27] <_skpl> read i mean
[06:27] <_skpl> Jordan_U: how do i get rid of that?
[06:27] <Chipzzz> erikaflusa: I think FullTiltPoker is more linux friendly... and you can play for real money there
[06:27] <erikaflusa> no
[06:28] <varundesai> sacarlson:my wifi button shorctu is fn+f2 ,but when i start my netbook,it will be in on state,i am uable to off,any procedure to manually on/off my wifi
[06:28] <Chipzzz> fulltilt doesn't run either?
[06:28] <erikaflusa> i was runing pokerstars on ubuntu 9.04
[06:28] <erikaflusa> with no problems
[06:28] <ohsix> run the install from a terminal, or set +x (might not work if it's on ntfs)
[06:28] <Jordan_U> _skpl: "msdos" is in reference to the fact that you have an msdos partition table, which is normal.
[06:28] <sunjun> where r u from guys
[06:28] <sacarlson> varundesai: did you try rfkill?
[06:28] <bazhang> sunjun, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat
[06:29] <varundesai> sacarlson:what is rfkill,how to try t
[06:29] <sacarlson> varundesai: that's what's used to turn wifi on and off as it sound you want http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill
[06:30] <Chipzzz> varundesai: type aptitude show rfkill
[06:30] <varundesai> sacarlso:i am installing the rfkill from ubuntu software center,i will try it
[06:30] <KSHawkEye> Hello, I'm trying to configure ffmpeg with --enable-libopencore-amrwb which i have built and saved at /home/kyle/software/ffmpeg/external-libs/32-bit How do I get FFmpeg to find the include and lib folder that are located there? I've tried export INCLUDE=$INCLUDE:/home/kyle/software/ffmpeg/external-libs/32-bit/include but it doesn't work, what am i doing wrong? thanks
[06:30] <sacarlson> varundesai: it also detects the position of the wifi hardware switch that seems fails to fuction for you
[06:31] <varundesai> sacarlson:i just installed it,whether i have to restart the machine now
[06:32] <_skpl> Jordan_U: can you tell me how to get rid of the second bootloader?
[06:32] <varundesai> hi abhijet,r u there
[06:32] <MintBerryCrunch> skpl: are these two ubuntu options, or a dualboot such as windows and ubuntu?
[06:33] <sacarlson> varundesai: no don't need to restart as far as I know,  I forgot you had to install it
[06:33] <AbhijiT> varundesai, yes
[06:33] <AbhijiT> !tab | varundesai
[06:35] <Jordan_U> _skpl: It doesn't hurt anything and it's not easy to safely get rid of. I would just not worry about it.
[06:35] <varundesai> abhijit:i am using acer aspire one 532h,many of ubuntu communitys,forum suggested me to upgrade the bios,i downloaded from acer website,i am using ubuntu 10.04,i want to upgarde the bios,but i am little bit afraid of doing upgrade bios,pls suggest,what to do
[06:35] <_skpl> Jordan_U: its slowing down my boot time :(
[06:36] <Jordan_U> _skpl: No, it's not.
[06:36] <gaelfx> varundesai: can you boot into the bios and check what version it is?
[06:37] <AbhijiT> varundesai, i never upgraded bios in linux. i dont know. if its .tar.gz i can tell you the process. but as many have warned about damaging the motherbord, i recommend not to do any such thing. unless you have a person having expreince doing this is guiding you. now your better option is contact your lug/loco and get help in person
[06:37] <KSHawkEye> how can i get linux to find a include and lib folder that isnt in local?
[06:37] <AbhijiT> varundesai, till then ask your issue with all details and info/waring you get till now on ubuntufourms.org and askubuntu.com
[06:37] <gaelfx> I updated the bios on my Gigabyte mobo with just a USB and the BIOS Flash Utility, which is built into the bios itself
[06:38] <varundesai> gaeflx:i am generating report with system performance & bench report,i will tell the bios version,wait for a minute
[06:38] <ohsix> that's a good way to do it if you can
[06:38] <AbhijiT> varundesai, see gaelfx may help ask him
[06:38] <erikaflusa> damn
[06:39] <erikaflusa> i wish this stupid exe would work
[06:39] <awaad> What is the difference between modules inside and modules outside the initrd image ?
[06:40] <varundesai> AbhijiT, :thank you,i will go throuhg it
[06:41] <varundesai> gaeflx:the version is 1.21
[06:41] <avis> sacarlson, the only manner in which i could get it to work is to create a bash script sudo chmod +x it, and then cp to /etc/init.d/  then i had to sudo update-rc.d magic defaults   (magic was the simple name of my script) and it works beautifully.  i appreciate your inspiring me to give it my best shot, i'm getting lucky on google results :)
[06:42] <avis> sacarlson, for that particular function it would fail under both sudo crontab -e and user crontab -e  though -- i still thank you
[06:43] <varundesai> AbhijiT,gaeflx :i have also another issue with my sd card,my net book has a built in sd card reader,ubuntu is not detecting it,when i try lsusb,it is showing the card reader,but when i insert my sd card,it will not show
[06:44] <AbhijiT> varundesai, in my laptop when i insert sd card it dont get detected. when i insert the sd card with a little force then it get detected!!! :P try this!!!! :D
[06:44] <sacarlson> avis: very good,   I'm not sure if you didn't have sudo setup correct or if you needed time for system to settle before openvpn to run.  glad you got it working
[06:45] <AbhijiT> i dunno any other solution!!!
[06:45] <varundesai> AbhijiT, :k
[06:46] <titanium> hello folks sorry im late
[06:47] <timewriter> stupid Chanserv doesnt reply to ping
[06:47] <cryptodira> is there any way to revert a farkled top panel to the pristine condition found after a fresh install of 10.04 WITHOUT having to do a fresh install?
[06:47] <titanium> anybody like radiohead?
[06:48] <bazhang> !resetpanels | cryptodira
[06:48] <bazhang> titanium, offtopic here
[06:48] <titanium> what are we supposed to be talking about ?
[06:48] <bazhang> titanium, check the /topic
[06:49] <titanium> well, i would like to talk to some programmers
[06:49] <timewriter> i have a radio in my head
[06:49] <timewriter> i like it
[06:49] <AbhijiT> titanium, ##programming
[06:49] <bazhang> titanium, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:49] <sacarlson> varundesai: I did find a freedos that this link says you might be able to use to upgrade some bios http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html
[06:49] <titanium> ##programming
[06:50] <erikaflusa> oh well i guess go back an run 9.04
[06:50] <ohsix> beats figuring it out!
[06:50] <titanium> so confused
[06:51] <AbhijiT> titanium, type /j ##programming
[06:51] <Photocopy> I used to be able to play avi videos fine. Now, I cannot. Totem and VLC both now are putting these strange green patterns all over their output
[06:51] <bazhang> Photocopy, disable compiz for one
[06:51] <ohsix> Photocopy: what video card?
[06:51] <Photocopy> bazhang; never had a problem with video playing with compiz enabled
[06:51] <ohsix> it's not compiz
[06:52] <ohsix> it could be vaapi or nvidias video acceleration / textured video
[06:52] <varundesai> sacarlson, :it will not effect my mother board na,if i go anythng wrong in the procedure
[06:52] <cryptodira> bazhang, thanks, i have tried that already... it returns 'no process found' eliminates and special apps i had (expected that)  but, whenever i reboot, the nm-app and gnome volume control are NOT there... which i kludgely restore by once again making a custom application addition... hence the original question.
[06:52] <Photocopy> ohsix; i don't know, it's the onboard card in my laptop. how can I find it with lspci?
[06:52] <ohsix> Photocopy: it should be the only video adapter, just knowing if its intel/nvidia/ati should be good enough
[06:53] <Taffy> i just install ubuntu 64-bit 10.10 on a laptop and i'm having a hard time setting up the wireless connection (maybe cause it's a hewlett-packard...lol) i was thinking it's the wireless on/off button i know it's on but still can't find my router
[06:53] <ohsix> also did you try other video files, they could be damaged
[06:53] <Photocopy> ohsix; i still don't know
[06:54] <Photocopy> ohsix; i tried other video files, including ones that i've stored that worked previously
[06:54] <sacarlson> varundesai: as you have already been warned it may brick your motherboard,  I personaly wouldn't do it.  my guess is that ubuntu is by default power hungery with compiz and other power demanding applications
[06:54] <Photocopy> this worked fine as recently as monday
[06:55] <ohsix> sacarlson: compiz can actually save power overall, but generally it's moot whether it's running or not
[06:55] <^Phantom^> call me old
[06:55] <^Phantom^> but does ubuntu support floppy drives?
[06:56] <ohsix> support how, it reads them and mounts them and you can eject them
[06:56] <Photocopy> this is pretty annoying.. ='
[06:56] <erikaflusa> abhilll
[06:56] <erikaflusa> i found the permissions
[06:56] <sacarlson> ohsix: I don't know I'm not a laptop guy,  but I see cpu usage high and with all the eye candy you say that saves power?
[06:56] <erikaflusa> tab
[06:56] <erikaflusa> on the exe file
[06:56] <ohsix> sacarlson: no high cpu usage here ...
[06:57] <mrglinux> how to find all *.srt extension in a directory and subdirectory using bash?
[06:57] <ohsix> mrglinux: only bash or is find enough? it's really the tool for the job. find /directory -iname '*.srt'
[06:57] <Photocopy> ohsix; it may be an ati adapter
[06:57] <moustiK_> Hi everyone, by the way those of you who uses gnome(arch,fedora,gentoo,debian,ubuntu,etc...) , how is the transition from gnome 2 to 3 is   happening(or will happen), does systemtray, applets and indicators work? Do you know how it will evolve, I am especially wondering what will happen to compiz with others distribution now that they are co linked to unity(for which i am not judging as it's great that they are reciving sponsorship). If my
[06:57] <moustiK_>  question is not posted on the right place feel free to correct me
[06:57] <erikaflusa> what do i need to change
[06:58] <Photocopy> ohsix; how can I find out?
[06:58] <erikaflusa> under permissions tab
[06:58] <^Phantom^> How do you get ubuntu to read floppy diskettes?
[06:58] <mrglinux> ohsix:I used find ./ -type f -name \*.srt but it's only find the files in current directory not subdirectories
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> ^Phantom^: you may need an fstab entry, has the installer added one for the floppy for you?
[06:59] <ohsix> mrglinux: well, it's recursive by default so i don't know what it's doing
[06:59] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: udisks should handle it like any other volume, aside from polling on some drives (cuz polling wakes up the drive typically)
[06:59] <Photocopy> sigh...
[06:59] <Photocopy> okay
[07:00] <^Phantom^> ActionParsnip, I'm not sure
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: yes, it should, but it isn't or the user wouldn't be here.....
[07:00] <^Phantom^> The drive is doing something, I know that much, I can see the light blinking.
[07:00] <erikaflusa> hey i found the permission
[07:00] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: then find out why udisks isn't working, or check why the mounts fail
[07:00] <erikaflusa> tab
[07:00] <Photocopy> Does anyone know why suddenly over the space of a few days videos would go from displaying fine to displaying with green staticy looking horizontal patterns and crap over the video outputs?
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> ^Phantom^: try:    gksudo gedit /etc/fstab     add this line:  /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto, 0 0
[07:00] <erikaflusa> on the exe file
[07:00] <^Phantom^> Accelerator, okay
[07:00] <ohsix> Photocopy: what software did you update & did you install anything from source?
[07:01] <erikaflusa> what do i need to change permission to so wine can open it
[07:01] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: that won't fix it :[
[07:01] <Photocopy> ohsix; installed nothing from source and I don't know what I may have updated. Presumably not anything
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> ^Phantom^: then run: sudo mkdir /media/floppy0
[07:01] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: can you post the output of dmesg and udisks --dump to a pastebin first
[07:01] <Photocopy> ohsix; unless it might be something that updated in my update manager; I never look at it, i just let it install whatever it prompts me for
[07:01] <^Phantom^> ohsix, sure
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: sure it will, the disk will be inserted and the system will see an entry in fstab, and use it
[07:01] <erikaflusa> what do i need to change on permissions tab
[07:02] <erikaflusa> to run the exe file
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: so long as s/he remember to properly unmount / eject the floppy like you are supposed to, no issues
[07:02] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: it doesn't need an fstab entry, it'll mount it in /media like any other volume
[07:02] <ohsix> yes, you need to manuall ymount it, which is dumb
[07:02] <erikaflusa> can sopme one help me
[07:02] <soreau> Is there a way to minimize a window with xdotool?
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: chmod +x filename.exe
[07:03] <bazhang> erikaflusa, #winehq after checking the appdb
[07:03] <erikaflusa> how do i run chmod
[07:03] <^Phantom^> ohsix, the floppy drive shows up, I can say that much
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: in a terminal
[07:03] <Photocopy> okay well goddamnit
[07:03] <^Phantom^> ohsix, i think I might know why it's not mounting:  I'm using a USB extender cord
[07:03] <^Phantom^> I'll try plugging it in directly hang on
[07:03] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: good; need to find out why udisks isn't doing its thing for it
[07:03] <Photocopy> now I messed up... Gotta reboot cause I can't do anything
[07:04] <^Phantom^> I found a couple of my old floppies and the first thing that came to mind:  Gotta see if ubuntu supports floppy drives, lol
[07:04] <erikaflusa> says command not found
[07:04] <Photocopy> okay
[07:04] <Photocopy> nevermind i'm still alright
[07:05] <Chipzzz> erikaflusa: sudo chmod +x filename.exe
[07:05] <ohsix> Photocopy: you could try turning compiz off just to rule it out
[07:05] <Photocopy> i tried that
[07:05] <Photocopy> apparently i did it wrong
[07:05] <ohsix> hit alt+f2 type metacity --replace to temporarily switch it off
[07:05] <Photocopy> all my window borders disappeared and i was completely unable to do anything
[07:05] <KSHawkEye> Hello, im trying to compile a program. The program needs another program that i chose to not install to /local but instead to a prefix. How can i get the main program to find the needed other program to compile?
[07:05] <Photocopy> okay ohsix, done
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: you need to change the filename with the full path and filename (case sensitive) to the file you want
[07:06] <Photocopy> still didnt help
[07:06] <Photocopy> i can confirm this is an ati adapter
[07:06] <moustiK_> type alt +f2 then run metacity --replace
[07:06] <erikaflusa> sudo chmod
[07:06] <ohsix> Photocopy: i'm not too familiar with gotchas on that order with ati devices
[07:07] <erikaflusa> missing operand
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: no, i never said sudo to you, did I?
[07:07] <moustiK_> or in a terminal to get windows decorations back
[07:07] <ohsix> Photocopy: is this after restarting when you discovered the problem?
[07:07] <Photocopy> goddamnit
[07:07] <Photocopy> this needs to work
[07:07] <Photocopy> after restarting what?
[07:07] <ohsix> the computer
[07:07] <bazhang> Photocopy, watch the language
[07:07] <Photocopy> i didn't do it
[07:07] <Photocopy> when i said that i was going to restart it's cause i killed compiz without starting up metacity lol
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: sudo chmod is both meaningless and not what I told you
[07:07] <soreau> Photocopy: Does this show up in a screenhot?
[07:07] <^Phantom^> ohsix, no luck plugged directly
[07:07] <soreau> Photocopy: screeshot*
[07:07] <Photocopy> it might, soreau
[07:07] <Photocopy> let me try
[07:08] <ohsix> Photocopy: i know, but i mean; have you restarted the computer since the problem started
[07:08] <soreau> Photocopy: screenshot*
[07:08] <Photocopy> yeah it shows up
[07:08] <^Phantom^> Maybe the disks are bad?
[07:08] <erikaflusa> i typed chmod
[07:08] <^Phantom^> the drive shows up under computer
[07:08] <erikaflusa> in terminal
[07:08] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: can you post that information?
[07:08] <soreau> Photocopy: Can you post it to speedyshare or picpaste.com?
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: for EXAAMPLE, if the file is in ~/progs and is called go.exe, the command would be: chmod +x ~/progs/go.exe
[07:08] <Photocopy> will do
[07:08] <^Phantom^> Yeah, hangon
[07:08] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: that could be something, if the inner track is damaged in any way on a floppy they're rendered completely unusable, and that happens pretty often
[07:09] <^Phantom^> ah
[07:09] <^Phantom^> Hmm...
[07:09]  * ^Phantom^ tries another floppy
[07:09] <^Phantom^> i'll paste the info too
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: do you see how the command works now?
[07:09] <ohsix> good
[07:09] <erikaflusa> its is in tmp
[07:09] <Photocopy> soreau, ohsix; http://picpaste.com/derp.png
[07:09] <erikaflusa> folder
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: fine, change the filename then
[07:09] <erikaflusa> i did
[07:10] <erikaflusa> p.exe
[07:10] <soreau> Photocopy: Oh wow..
[07:10] <ohsix> Photocopy: ooooh that's unlucky, i think
[07:10] <^Phantom^> Hey, since it's a usb drive, maybe I need to reboot for it to work?
[07:10] <soreau> Photocopy: I have the exact same problem but I thought it was only one video
[07:10] <Photocopy> in what sense
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: ok so the command would be: chmod +x /tmp/p.exe
[07:10] <soreau> lets see..
[07:10] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: nah that shouldn't matter, hotplug works
[07:10] <^Phantom^> Ugh @ comast internet!  How long can it take to upload some text?
[07:11] <^Phantom^> ohsix, http://pastebin.com/syLEEXri
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: is that what you ran?
[07:11] <Photocopy> ohsix, soreau; what exactly?
[07:11] <Photocopy> soreau; for me its any video, apparently, including ones that i know worked before
[07:12] <^Phantom^> (sorry, ohsix, i have a lot of drives)
[07:12] <erikaflusa> ya
[07:12] <erikaflusa> i got no error
[07:12] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: and dmesg? (that's the important one)
[07:12] <MintBerryCrunch> Phantom: Comcast's worst day beats Armstrong's best day :(
[07:12] <Photocopy> soreau; presumably you have no solution then?
[07:13] <soreau> Photocopy: So now we have to figure out if its a driver bug or an encoding issue with mplayer
[07:13] <erikaflusa> hey can u do me favor
[07:13] <MintBerryCrunch> Armstrong's commercials talk about their community programming, not one thing about their actual internet sped
[07:13] <Photocopy> soreau: how are we going to do this
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> erikaflusa: sup?
[07:13] <soreau> Photocopy: What does lspci|grep VGA say for your card?
[07:13] <MintBerryCrunch> *speed
[07:13] <recognosco> Photocopy: tried playing that with another player?
[07:13] <soreau> Photocopy: Yea, what video player are you using?
[07:13] <erikaflusa> send that command
[07:13] <erikaflusa> to me
[07:14] <erikaflusa> in a pm
[07:14] <Photocopy> soreau; doesnt work in banshee, totem, vlc,
[07:14] <ohsix> it's something with the textured video port
[07:14] <soreau> Photocopy: Hm. So possible driver issue. What is the lspci line for your card?
[07:14] <Photocopy> soreau: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> Photocopy: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed as well as w32codecs from medibuntu
[07:14] <^Phantom^> It seems to not want to mount, just like my SD reader, ohsix
[07:14] <Photocopy> soreau; why would there be a driver issue now and not monday?
[07:15] <Photocopy> yes, ActionParsnip; this has all worked before, as stated
[07:15] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: you don't need any w32codecs for mp4 in avi to work D:
[07:15] <soreau> Photocopy: Are you using xorg-edgers repo by chance?
[07:15] <ohsix> if w32codecs is installed it could actually be the problem
[07:15] <ohsix> but not with vlc
[07:15] <ohsix> or totem
[07:15] <Photocopy> soreau; i'm not. Someone tried to get me to use that for something else the other day and i also declined
[07:15] <recognosco> Photocopy: if vlc is causing trouble, most like driver
[07:15] <^Phantom^> The drive is there under Computer, just can't open it. <_<
[07:16] <recognosco> likely*
[07:16] <ohsix> Photocopy: it might let you sidestep the problem
[07:16] <Darkenvy> I need to grab a file (pulling) from my server using SSH. How can I do so?
[07:16] <Photocopy> soreau; if it was working before and isn't now, why would it be the driver? i didn't change the driver between then and now
[07:16] <Chipzzz> Photocopy: which drivers are you using?
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: its good to have the whole lot though
[07:16] <ohsix> Darkenvy: scp server:file .
[07:16] <Photocopy> Chipzzz; whatever ubuntu assigned it when I installed.
[07:16] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: not really; gstreamer doesn't use them, and vlc is self contained
[07:16] <Photocopy> Chipzzz: never manually changed any drivers for anything on this machine
[07:16] <Darkenvy> scp is an FTP protocol isnt it? and only used to push
[07:16] <soreau> Photocopy: Ok so its likely some encoding issue.. let me try a few things
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> Photocopy: try gnome-mplayer :)
[07:17] <webvictim> no Darkenvy
[07:17] <ohsix> Darkenvy: scp is scp, and the source and destination can be local files or remote machines
[07:17] <Darkenvy> Ive pushed wiht it before, how to pull?
[07:17] <recognosco> Darkenvy: no. scp is secure copy.
[07:17] <Chipzzz> Photocopy: you might have better luck with the proprietary drivers... I hear they're pretty good
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Darkenvy: yes, its bi-directional
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> ah
[07:17] <webvictim> reverse the arguments
[07:17] <soreau> Photocopy: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ?
[07:17] <Photocopy> ActionParsnip: wait, is that the movie player that is default in 10.10?
[07:17] <Darkenvy> oooh nice
[07:17] <hilarie> Ahoy! http://paste.ubuntu.com/568627/ The  CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.3.0 Doesn't give me 100mhz powersave speedsteps that that reports, any idea's on how to get that much control over my processors?
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Photocopy: that's totem
[07:17] <Photocopy> soreau: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]
[07:17] <ohsix> scp is just like cp except it can talk to remot emachines via ssh
[07:17] <Photocopy> soreau: already sent you that
[07:17] <Darkenvy> thanks guys! This is why I love IRC. 30 minutes on google vs 30 seconds :P
[07:17] <^Phantom^> I'll copy out the contents of these floppies with my laptop, ActionParsnip and ohsix.  It reads on there.
[07:17] <Photocopy> ActionParsnip: okay for a minute i thought i might have confused them
[07:18] <^Phantom^> Thank you for the help, though
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> Photocopy: mplayer is the daddy of daddies
[07:18] <webvictim> you could've done it in 10 with "man scp" ;)
[07:18] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: that usb drive could be out of whack too D: floppies are really a pain in the ass
[07:18] <Photocopy> urg
[07:18] <soreau> Photocopy: Ah ok. Well I bet we arent the only one with this issue and a bug report should surface soon if someone hasnt already reported it
[07:18] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: dmesg has kernel messages, and probably information about the errors trying to read the disk
[07:19] <Photocopy> i just completely fail to comprehend why something like this happens between one day and the next with no change to any drivers or anything like that
[07:19] <Photocopy> it's completely beyond explanation
[07:19] <^Phantom^> ohsix, ah
[07:19] <Photocopy> there's no good reason for it as far as i understand
[07:19] <recognosco> Photocopy: i will have to agree. beyond explanation without changes.
[07:19] <soreau> Photocopy: Sometimes there are too many developers who dont test their code fully before committing it
[07:19] <hilarie> Any Idea's though, the built in thingy for ubuntu 10.10 only gives me 25% 50% and 100% power jumps,
[07:20] <Photocopy> recognosco: every single computer problem i have ever had in my life has been in that nature. completely sudden and without being triggered by an identifiable change
[07:20] <Photocopy> anyway
[07:20] <ohsix> it's always the stuff you forget
[07:20] <Photocopy> i found a site that will stream it for me which doesn't have the same problem
[07:20] <^Phantom^> Thank you again for the time though, ActionParsnip and ohsix :D
[07:21] <Photocopy> the episode is priority so im going to watch that now...
[07:21] <recognosco> Photocopy: is it on specific type of video file or all?
[07:22] <Photocopy> recognosco; i'm not sure. I'll get back to you on that. I'd have to get up and get my external drive to test a different filetype and stuff
[07:22] <ohsix> Photocopy: xvinfo will dump info about the video port, it could be a bug with only one format, and working one day and not the next could be from an unrelated update
[07:22] <Photocopy> and now that i've watched a minute and a half of this i cant stop
[07:23] <queen> hello everyone!
[07:25] <HugoKuo__> is there have a channel about  ubuntu UEC ?
[07:26] <timewriter> ubuntu UAC

[07:30] <erikaflusa> anyone in here in florida
[07:31] <bazhang> !ot | erikaflusa
[07:31] <erikaflusa> sorry
[07:34] <cryptodira> bazhang, Thanks for your help earlier  :)   laters.
[07:36] <MACscr|lappy> ok, so i have ubuntu 10.10 running off a live cd (usb actually) and i need to resize my osx partition, which is running hfs+. Anyone ever tried doing that? gparted says i need to install hfsprogs, but apt doesnt seem to be finding it
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> MACscr|lappy: do you have a web connection in the Live environment?
[07:37] <bazhang> !info hfsprogs | MACscr|lappy
[07:38] <bazhang> make sure the repo is enabled MACscr|lappy
[07:38] <MACscr|lappy> ActionParsnip: yes, im on it now =)
[07:38] <MACscr|lappy> bazhang: ok
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> MACscr|lappy: just checking, enable the repo like bazhang said and it will come down
[07:40] <hilarie> Okay, cd bleh, brings me to the folder of bleh, from my home folder, how to get back to home folder w/o  restarting terminal?
[07:41] <gaelfx> hilarie: cd ..
[07:41] <gaelfx> or cd ~
[07:41] <kneaux> Hi, my mouse cursor has gone haywire and I'd rather not reboot, is there a way to fix it? Problem seems to be associated with VLC; the cursor has changed to a few rows of pixels repeated about a dozen times
[07:41] <hilarie> cd .. goes back one?
[07:42] <gaelfx> hilarie: correct
[07:42] <hilarie> awesomesauce ty
[07:42] <gaelfx> and cd ~ will take you to the home folder no matter where you are
[07:42] <gaelfx> np
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: just:   cd    will do that too ;)
[07:44] <timewriter> whats the difference between ubuntu 10 and debian 6 ?
[07:44] <MACscr|lappy> shoot, seems installing hfsprogs didnt make a difference to gparted. It still recommends installing it
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> timewriter: one is debian,one is ubuntu
[07:45] <bazhang> timewriter, out of scope for this channel
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> MACscr|lappy: you may need to restart gparted topick it up
[07:45] <timewriter> what
[07:45] <bazhang> timewriter, offtopic
[07:45] <sss> How to start Ubuntu in text mode? (no GUI)
[07:45] <timewriter> i was talking about ubuntu
[07:45] <bazhang> !nox | sss
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> sss: add the boot option: text
[07:45] <timewriter> what is offtopic ?
[07:45] <timewriter> do you want to discuss about Mercedes ?
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> timewriter: this channel is for support questions, people with issues
[07:46] <timewriter> ok
[07:46] <timewriter> sorry
[07:46] <bazhang> timewriter, this is not the differences between debian and ubuntu channel, its strictly ubuntu support. please respect that
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> np :)
[07:46] <timewriter> ok ok , please dont make me feel guilty
[07:47] <akshatj> I have installed Jolicloud and Natty on two different partitions(along with Maverick and Windows 7 on two different partitions) and now I want to remove Jolicloud and natty, How do I do that?
[07:47] <foldink> hi all
[07:47] <soreau> ! natty | akshatj
[07:48] <akshatj> Should i just delete the two partitions and run update-grup?
[07:48] <bazhang> akshatj, use gparted to get rid of the partitions
[07:48] <akshatj> bazhang: just that?
[07:48] <soreau> akshatj: sure, and you can resize your other partitions to fill the space
[07:48] <foldink> Does anyone now what can be a solution to > cat /proc/asound/cards => "no soudn cards" , and modprobe snd-hda-intel Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/updates/alsa/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module,config is Ubuntu 10.04 MacbookPro 5.5
[07:48] <Photocopy> soreau, actionparsnip, ohsix; xvinfo reported this; http://pastebin.com/9wFwdP2f
[07:48] <bazhang> akshatj, then resize, or allocate as shared space
[07:49] <Photocopy> akshatj; are you the boy from india that got the laptop?
[07:50] <MACscr|lappy> anyone know what the copy partition option does in gparted? can i use it to simply backup a partition easily?
[07:51] <Shadowex3> Is it possible to create a desktop launcher to open and run an SSH command (ssh -ND 9999 specifically)? I've already tried creating a launcher as an application and as a run-in-terminal application, and attempted to make a script to run.
[07:51] <manuscle> hello everyone
[07:51] <Shadowex3> ahoy
[07:51] <foldink> hello
[07:52] <manuscle> excuse my english
[07:52] <milokliz> where can i find aircrack-ng help
[07:52] <bazhang> milokliz, #aircrack-ng
[07:52] <manuscle> i have a problem with some of my hard disk
[07:52] <milokliz> ty
[07:53] <era878> How can I make an ubuntu cluster?
[07:53] <milokliz> #aircrack-ng
[07:53] <marco_> Hi folks. I am searching for help with an issue with video driver that prevents me the use of dual screen. If someone would help I'll really appreciate it.
[07:53] <manuscle> first am i on the good canal?
[07:53] <gaelfx> milokliz: you have you type '/join #aircrack-ng' to go there
[07:53] <milokliz> lol ty
[07:53] <gaelfx> np
[07:53] <marco_> (or if someone can just point me out where to ask. thanks.)
[07:53] <sacarlson> Shadowex3: I've never tried the ssh in a launcher but seems it should work,  did you select open in term when you create the launcher in the control panel?
[07:54] <bazhang> marco_, with xrandr ?
[07:54] <era878> How can I make an ubuntu cluster?
[07:54] <marco_> bazhang, problem is that with dual screen the z-order of windows and shadows is inverted. So I have shadows over windows and focused windows UNDER unfocused ones
[07:54] <era878> '
[07:54] <marco_> my video card is GM965
[07:54] <Shadowex3> sacarlson: I've tried both, I have difficulty getting the open in term one to do ANYTHING
[07:55] <Ve2> Hmm, PasswordAuthentication option is set to no but I can still ssh in with a password. :/
[07:55] <Shadowex3> I've entered the command as ssh -ND 9999 -l xxx@yyy
[07:55] <Shadowex3> i get a terminal flashing open and it just dissapears
[07:55] <manuscle> i have used disk manager to format one of my disk in ext4 but fdisk -l tell me that there is no partition table on it!
[07:55] <sacarlson> Shadowex3: oh maybe the problem is it needs a password?  you can setup so that ssh won't ask for a password if you use keys
[07:55] <Shadowex3> Oh I know it needs a password
[07:56] <Shadowex3> i was expecting to have a shortcut that opens a terminal and runs the command for me so I can just input the password and be done with it
[07:56] <gaelfx> manuscle: if you have a liveusb or livecd, you should probably use gparted
[07:56] <marco_> sacarlson, not so simple, had problem with passwordless ssh login too.
[07:56] <marco_> anyone on my video driver prob?
[07:57] <sacarlson> marco_: problem to setup passworless or to setup as Shadowex3 is trying to do?
[07:57] <Shadowex3> I've actually had the most luck using: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=StayOpen -x bash -l -c "ssh -ND 999 -l"
[07:57] <manuscle> gaelfx, Yet I can still write to disk
[07:58] <manuscle> i believed that a disk with no partition table could not be writeable
[07:58] <amit> if in a group there are more than one user say v1,v2  and if a user say l from another group want to acess all the members of the that group means l1,l2 how should he do within one line command
[07:58] <sacarlson> Shadowex3: I'm not sure what the -ND 999 thing does
[07:58] <moustiK_>  Hi , I want to chroot a Gui app with export DISPLAY=:0.0 but it does not work only Xnest and Xephr works , does anyone have a solution of chrooting a gui app ?
[07:58] <Shadowex3> Sacarlson it's a SOCK5 thing
[07:58] <gaelfx> manuscle: well, it can be written, but reading it afterwards is a bit troublesome ;)
[07:58] <amit> sorry not li and l2 vi and v2
[07:59] <amit> ????/////
[08:00] <manuscle> gaelfx, i never had a problem, i have formatted the disk few month ago, i think i am lucky!
[08:00] <hilarie> How do I take ownership back from root?
[08:00] <MACscr|lappy> whats the fastest way for me to image a partition? dd? im not worried about size, so i dont want compression
[08:01] <gaelfx> manuscle: how do you know it doesn't have a partition table?
[08:01] <hilarie> I have home/Rawr/bin/TurionPowerControl (I compiled it from sudo) and now its owned by root
[08:01] <hilarie> And then hilarie@ebilKitty:~/Rawr/bin$ sudo TurionPowerControl    sudo: TurionPowerControl: command not found
[08:01] <manuscle> gaelfx, i discovered the problem because yesterday i created a new raid5, and disk manager is ...... what do you say for ... crap?
[08:01] <era878> How can I setup an ubuntu cluster
[08:01] <sacarlson> Shadowex3: from looking breafly at man ssh  -D [bind_address:]port  seems only a sudo user can do this?
[08:02] <amit> if a user v1 of one group want to acess the other group user more than one say l1 and l2 how should he do within one command means without changing mode for l1 and l2 seperately
[08:02] <Shadowex3> It doesn't ask me for root when I do it in a standard terminal window, it just asks me for the SSH login password for my SSH server
[08:02] <manuscle> gaelfx, fdisl -l tell me that is no partition table on the disk as well on the raid5
[08:02] <sacarlson> Shadowex3: oh privliged ports I guess 9999 wouldn't be one of those
[08:03] <Shadowex3> no it's just localhost iirc
[08:03] <marco_> Need help, problem is that with dual screen the z-order of windows and shadows is inverted. So I have shadows over windows and focused windows UNDER unfocused ones. How do I reset video driver?
[08:03] <Shadowex3> See sacarlson i'm just copying lifehacker's secure browsing through a personal SSH server and Sock5 connection, that part all works perfectly.
[08:03] <Shadowex3> the only problem i'm having is creating a working desktop shortcut to automate the tedium of typing out the command
[08:04] <hilarie> Root owns something of mine, HALP :)
[08:04] <sacarlson> Shadowex3: ok it works but you can't find a simple way to start it up without all that typeing?
[08:05] <sss> Is it possible to use different languages for different accounts?
[08:05] <manuscle> gaelfx, when i created the raid5 with disk manager, my disk was new, and disk manager created a raid
[08:05] <timewriter> i might admit , ubuntu didnt disapoint me yet
[08:05] <iflema> hilarie: ./configure and make as normal user, but    sudo make install.   go again......
[08:05] <timewriter> and im using it for 1 week
[08:06] <manuscle> gaelfx, after i tried to create a partition but i had error message
[08:06] <amit> if a user v1 of one group want to acess the other group user more than one say l1 and l2 how should he do within one command means without changing mode for l1 and l2 seperately
[08:06] <MACscr|lappy> dd is going to be awefully slow though since there is only 10gb of space used on the 30gb partition =/
[08:06] <Shadowex3> sacarlson: exactly, my sock5 setup and SSH server all work fine. Doing it by hand works great. I'm just trying to automate a bit of this.
[08:06] <manuscle> i discovered that before creating raid i had to format the 3 disk
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> amit: add it to the groups as required, surely
[08:07] <MACscr|lappy> manuscle: raid1 is only two disks
[08:07] <hilarie> iflema so sudo make install sh Installer.sh?
[08:07] <iflema> hilarie: there should be an unistall option to remove the first attemp
[08:08] <hilarie> @iflema it never installed, just created a thingy in a bin directory
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest26833: running IRC clients as root is a really BAD idea
[08:08] <osmosis_paul> Morning, do you know if the cron generate a log file with his activities, i have a service that did not execute and i want to know why
[08:08] <osmosis_paul> because if i execute manually works
[08:08] <hilarie> More accrurately it should be named compile.sh lol
[08:08] <amit> actionparsnip:my mean to say that chmod  750  /home/l1     chmod  750 /home/l2     can we write these both 2 command  as a single one
[08:09] <manuscle> I know raid 1 is two disk! why tell you that ?!
[08:09] <Shadowex3> sacarlson I got it, one of the guys in #bash noticed that I should use either xxx@yyy OR -l username, I'd combined two seperate SSH commands since it's 3am
[08:09] <manuscle> i am using raid 5 with 3 disk!
[08:09] <manuscle> the probleme is not here
[08:10] <sss> Is it possible to remote control Windows from Ubuntu and vice versa?
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> amit: if you make a new group and add both users to it, then change the group ownership of the folder, both users will have access
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> sss: VNC will work both ways
[08:10] <iflema> hilarie: im not sure about.... try without sudo??????
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> sss: there are often more graceful metods though
[08:10] <sss> ActionParnsip, what is VNC?
[08:11] <amit> ActionParsnip: body i want to acess these l1 and l2 from other user from other group as l2 and l2 are in same group
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> sss: remote control software for the full desktop, but depending on th activities you intend there may be sleeker options
[08:12] <sss> ActionParnsip. ok, thanks
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> amit: then if you allow the group read access, it will be able to read the other users data
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> sss: for example, torrent clients often have web interfaces
[08:12] <Shadowex3> sss: Not only is it perfectly possible I do it too, I've got a win7 box and an ubuntu laptop. I'm setting it up to control both from each other.
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> sss: and you can manage updates via command line in SSH etc
[08:13] <amit> ActionParnsip: i want the answer how can we change permisson of both l1 and l2 within a command not changing for l1 and l2 sepaeratively how to do it consecutively
[08:13] <costas> hello, I have a problem with alsa on my desktop pc, It runs an updated Ubuntu studio amd64 and the soundcard is delta1010 (ice1712) any help is appreciated...
[08:15] <costas> I followed through all steps necessary but no sound..
[08:15] <amit> ActionParsnip: means chmod 750  /home/l1      chmod 750 /home/l2        how can we write these both two as a single
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> amit: with a group
[08:15] <timewriter> i wonder if i can run old tomb raider games under wine
[08:15] <linuxuz3r> guys
[08:15] <amit> ok thanks
[08:15] <costas> used to work fine with earlier versions with alsaconf
[08:16] <linuxuz3r> whats a good sftp program with front end for linux
[08:16] <linuxuz3r> ubuntu
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> amit: not sure dude, why is 2 commands so bad. Considering the amount of text you have typed in here....
[08:16] <bazhang> timewriter, check the appdb
[08:16] <costas> !alsa
[08:16] <timewriter> im installing wine and try to run them
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> linuxuz3r: nautilus can do it, or filezilla
[08:16] <costas> !ice1712
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | timewriter
[08:16] <timewriter> ok , thank you
[08:17] <timewriter> but most likely will do
[08:17] <timewriter> they are old games
[08:17] <timewriter> win95 compatible
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> timewriter: which tomb raider is it?
[08:17] <timewriter> The Last revelation
[08:17] <bazhang> timewriter, or dosbox
[08:17] <costas> wine has some issues, with several games investigate on their homesite...
[08:17] <timewriter> and tombraider 1 2 3
[08:17] <Ve2> Ok, I need some help configuring ssh. For some reason my ssh_config file doesn't seem to affect anything. I have both AllowUsers & PermitRootLogin no options as well as PasswordAuthentication no & can still login as root with a password.
[08:17] <costas> !damn ubuntu
[08:18] <bazhang> costas, stop that
[08:18] <costas> anyone knows about recent alsa changes?
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> timewriter: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4129  looks bad, if its 95 based then dosbox may fly, or you can install win95 in dosbox and run it (maybe, I installed win 3.1 in it)
[08:18] <timewriter> ill try dosbox
[08:18] <timewriter> it takes 2 hrs to install wine
[08:19] <bazhang> costas, ask in #alsa
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> timewriter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oJdzCrI47c
[08:19] <KIAaze> hi, I am unable to log into the ubuntuforums. Is there a problem with the forum at the moment?

[08:22] <timewriter> welcome to mario kart
[08:22] <jadespider> no fix for it as I know of
[08:22] <alkisg> Ah np she won't play games
[08:22] <jadespider> but most games work fine
[08:22] <jadespider> tux cart was the worst one
[08:22] <jadespider> and then the post-nuclear game cant remember the name of it, but that game was a fail
[08:22] <jadespider> everything else works good
[08:22] <alkisg> jadespider: but e.g. google-earth runs fine?
[08:22] <alkisg> jadespider: or glxgears, or generally 3d apps?
[08:23] <jadespider> havent tried it, I will give it a whirl brb
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> jadespider: doom3 and postal2 run great here
[08:23] <jadespider> generally no probs with 3d apps
[08:23] <jadespider> except for a few games
[08:23] <alkisg> Thanks!

[08:26] <silare> Hi all, my gnome-panel crashes on startup and restarting it just gives me an empty panel while a lot of errors for every applet (none of which load). I don't know how to diagnose this problem at all either. Google has not given me anything of similar nature.
[08:27] <misla> abiy hi
[08:27] <timewriter> silare, rm -rf .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd from your folder
[08:27] <timewriter> then logout
[08:27] <timewriter> and relog
[08:27] <KIAaze> can anyone try to log out and into ubuntuforums again?
[08:28] <KIAaze> something seems to be wrong
[08:28] <silare> timewriter: Can I just move them to another folder instead (thereby making it 'nonexistent' in that place)?
[08:28] <jduggan_> a
[08:28] <misla> timewriter: oh ,so it is
[08:28] <AegisX> Hi, guys... I'm trying to access some music shared on my Windows desktop through my Ubuntu laptop... and it's doing my head in. Can someone please walk me through the setup?
[08:28] <KIAaze> I even tried registering again and got an error message: Fatal error: Existing data passed is not an array
[08:28] <KIAaze> Called set_existing in [path]/register.php on line 421
[08:28] <KIAaze> in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 235
[08:28] <timewriter> if you delete these folders , gnome will restore to initial settings
[08:28] <timewriter> dont forget .gnome2_private too
[08:28] <silare> timewriter: Ahh, got it.
[08:29] <chachin> can anyone pm me and help me instal ubuntu?
[08:29] <jadespider> weird google earth wont load at all for me
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: have you shared the folder in Windows?
[08:29] <alkisg> jadespider: run it from the console, to see any error messages
[08:29] <jadespider> k
[08:29] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Yep, I have. (I love your nick, btw)
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: thanks (its a harry hill joke ;))
[08:29] <bazhang> chachin, ask here
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: what version of windows are you connecting to?
[08:30] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Windows 7
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/
[08:30] <silare> timewriter: Just did that... It reset everything, but my panel still hasn't fixed itself.
[08:31] <silare> All applets crash on startup.
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: read that, it has pointer, you can then use the usual network icon in nautilus. Windows 7 is annoying and has a 'revised' samba with new authentication nonesense in it as well as some other apps causing grief
[08:31] <chachin> what are "sda1(nfts), sda5(unknown), sda6(linux), and sda2(ntfs) ???
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> chachin: partitions
[08:31] <chachin> oh
[08:31] <varundesai_> Hi Friends
[08:31] <timewriter> silare, you deleted .gnome2_private too ?
[08:31] <silare> yep.
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> chachin: all on the same drive, sda
[08:31] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Thanks, reading it now. Yeah, I've tried a variety of methods and a couple of times I've been asked to log in... and I have no idea with what credentials I should be logging in.
[08:32] <jadespider> unknown ID?
[08:32] <timewriter> weird
[08:32] <jadespider> what sense does that make?
[08:32] <chachin> im trying to install ubuntu and win7 is already installed. but i wanna delete linux mint. cus i mess it up.. and now i want ubuntu..
[08:32] <silare> timewriter: Yeah... Is there a way for it to leave diagnostics in Terminal explaining why it crashed?
[08:32] <Poss> panic panic!   my kernel is panicing!
[08:32] <milokliz> how can i ensure that no network managers are controlling the card
[08:33] <Graet|> interesting, just tried on fresh install, no problems accessing windows 7 share
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> chachin: delete the windows mint partitions and you can install to the free space
[08:33] <eldurian> l
[08:33] <timewriter> silare, im not sure , but i had similar problems with my panels and deleting these folders fixed it
[08:33] <timewriter> did you relogged ?
[08:33] <chachin> should I delete "sda6(linux-swap)?
[08:33] <silare> timewriter: Yeah, just logged back in. o.o
[08:33] <jadespider> time to go chat arachnids :) take care
[08:33] <timewriter> weird
[08:33] <Poss> argh! I killed it, its all going to die, its all my fault, poor little ubuntu, now its just sitting there blinking and panicing
[08:34] <bazhang> !work | Poss
[08:34] <chachin> there's one called "sda(unknown) and its big 289.6GB :(
[08:34] <^Phantom^> does keeping drives that aren't in use unmounted help extend their lifetime?
[08:34] <timewriter> you can check .xsession-errors
[08:34]  * Poss tries to calm down
[08:34] <costas> !beer Poss
[08:34] <Graet|> ubottu, described me :/
[08:34] <Poss> ok so im at my uncle's house, and i noticed that their copy of ubuntu was pretty old and needed a lot of updating
[08:34] <bazhang> costas, stop that
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> chachin: i would, then let the ubuntu installer do its thing
[08:35] <Poss> he was on karmic koala
[08:35] <milokliz> how can i ensure that no network managers are controlling the card
[08:35] <chachin> ok
[08:35] <Poss> since support is ended for karmic I hit upgrade to lynx, since its an LTS
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> chachin: big unknown sda isn't good. did you by any chance write a new partition table? :(
[08:35] <timewriter> LTS ownz
[08:35] <silare> timewriter: Looked through it... THough no luck so far. =/
[08:36] <varundesai_> exit
[08:36] <g_prakash> char * (*get_temp_buffer)( size_t n ); meaning?
[08:36] <timewriter> this might be a bit of a problem
[08:36] <Poss> three hours pass as its downloading and upgrading, then I come back and the screen is just saying "unsupported input", so i though "hmm" I'll reboot and see whats going on here
[08:36] <chachin> i have a 12.3GB for linux... but when i did that i chose 300Gb maybe i didnt do it right :S
[08:36] <timewriter> i dont know , install KDE , remove GNome
[08:36] <timewriter> then reinstall gnome
[08:36] <Poss> but on a straight reboot i just get too the ubuntu logo on a black screen, nothing else
[08:36] <timewriter> and remove kde
[08:36] <timewriter> :)
[08:37] <Poss> so then I restarted in recovery mode
[08:37] <g_prakash> Any body               char * (*get_temp_buffer)( size_t n );            meaning?
[08:37] <amit> how to know in which shell i am through command
[08:37] <Poss> last thing that happens is that app armor profiles fail to load and then run-init: /sbin/init: I/O error
[08:38] <Poss> followed by kernel panic
[08:38] <timewriter> I/O error ?
[08:38] <silare> timewriter: lol I'll look into it. THanks though for your help.
[08:38] <Poss> at which point I did as told and paniced
[08:38] <thebat> icr.neko-network.net
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> g_prakash: i'd ask in a programming channel
[08:38] <timewriter> silare, i didnt helped you at all :)
[08:38] <timewriter> i wish i would
[08:38] <timewriter> but youre welcome
[08:38] <silare> timewriter: Well, ya' tried. :P
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> chachin: as log as you haven't deleted the partitions you want
[08:38] <amit> wheher i m using /bin/bash or /bin/sh  how to check this through command?
[08:39] <Poss> so now I'm sitting here with my uncle and auntwanting to use the computer i just screwed by hitting update
[08:39] <timewriter> silare,
[08:39] <ohsix> g_prakash: get_temp_pointer is can hold a pointer to a function that returns char * and takes size_t n as a parameter
[08:39] <timewriter> you can try delete the panel
[08:39] <timewriter> then create it again
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Poss: it'll be quick :)
[08:39] <timewriter> maybe it will work
[08:39] <Poss> actionparsnip
[08:39] <Poss> suicide you mean?
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Poss: no, the updates
[08:40] <Poss> the updates are finished
[08:40] <silare> timewriter: Tried that too. :[ Seems like it didn't work...
[08:40] <Poss> but the computer wont start
[08:40] <Poss> its stuck at a kernel panic
[08:40] <Poss> only I have no idea what or who this cornel panic is and why he has ruined the computer
[08:41] <milokliz> anyone how can i ensure that no network managers are controlling the card
[08:41] <ohsix> g_prakash: install cutils, theres a tool in it called cdecl; it will decode those for you ;]
[08:41] <silare> Poss: Kernel Panic = UNIX-based 'equivalent' of a BSoD
[08:41] <Poss> oh dear, that is in no way calming me down
[08:42] <silare> Poss: :/ Sowwie.
[08:42] <silare> But it's what it is. x_x; Scary lil' thing, that kernel panic.
[08:42] <Poss> so there is nothing I can do?
[08:42] <ohsix> in particular (it doesn't know of size_t so i changed it to an int: declare get_temp_buffer as pointer to function that expects (n as int) returning pointer to char;
[08:42] <chachin> f this im buying a new 2TB HDD if i fail at installing ubuntu the waiy I wanted :(
[08:43] <silare> Poss: Not sure... How'd the kernel panicking come to be?
[08:43] <chachin> throwing this 1TB hdd in the blending machin
[08:43] <Poss> I installed the update from karmic to lucid
[08:43] <diemos> chachin: no, take the platters out and throw them against something
[08:43] <Poss> I left it downloading for a bit, came back and it was dead
[08:43] <diemos> it's pretty.
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Poss: reboot, hold shift and select an older kernel
[08:44] <chachin> diemos:  or make a clock ^_^
[08:44] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: re: mounted & lifetimes, no; drives will go to sleep regardless of whether they're mounted as long as they're not being read from or written to; unmounting might keep that from happening ;]
[08:44] <Pete_> Does any one no how install xlink kai on this ubuntu
[08:44] <chachin> why does unubtu have a win vista partition?
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> chachin: get a sharp implement, you can engrave them pretty well
[08:44] <^Phantom^> ohsix, ah okay, cause i always unmount when I'm done using them
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> chachin: it doesn't. If you use wubi you will have access to the host from /host
[08:45] <chachin> oh
[08:45] <silare> Poss: Using what?
[08:45] <chachin> im noob at this crap about dual booting
[08:46] <titanium> hello folks sorry im late
[08:46] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: lifetime is really only with it being used; and still MTBF is very high for modern stuff, stuff failing from wear vs. freak occurence is rare
[08:46] <^Phantom^> MTBF?  What is that?
[08:46] <ohsix> mean time between failures
[08:46] <titanium> anybody got mad skills at programming?
[08:47] <newb_j> hello!
[08:47] <chachin> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124190
[08:47] <chachin> I bought this bad boy
[08:47] <Poss> ok so it was 2.6.31-17 that was failing,  <IP_ADDRESS> fails as well. 2.6.10-5-386 fails too, but in a different way
[08:47] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Still can't connect to the share, mate :(
[08:47] <chachin> its awsome specially dd-wrt
[08:47] <ohsix> ^Phantom^: there was some hubub about head unloading in laptop drives some time ago; it really can make hay with ridiculously cheap drives like the one i had in my laptop before i replaced it :O
[08:47] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: I think I'm doing something wrong with the actual process
[08:48] <^Phantom^> ah
[08:48] <Poss> its moving too fast to read, but i think its saying its running into some kind of memory fault
[08:48] <^Phantom^> I have one drive that I keep religiously umounted since it's my backup drive and all.
[08:48] <titanium> love a good loop
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: can you ping the system with name and/or IP?
[08:49] <milokliz> anyone how can i ensure that no network managers are controlling the card
[08:49] <titanium> have a love affair with getkey
[08:49] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: How do I do that?
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: in a terminal
[08:49] <Poss> 2.6.8  fails too same memory loop
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> milokliz: service network-manager status
[08:49] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: What do I type? Excuse my ignorance, I'm new to all this ><
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: so you have never pinged? even in windows?
[08:50] <newb_j> >_>
[08:50] <Lantizia> hey which gnome panel applet is the one with volume/bluetooth? i appear to have deleted it
[08:50] <newb_j> ><
[08:50] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Never
[08:50] <titanium> have yall got your storm tracker programs ready
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: fair enough, the command is:  ping -c 4 nameofserver
[08:50] <FightingNavyman> hi
[08:50] <Lantizia> nvm found it
[08:50] <FightingNavyman> its me chachin again
[08:50] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Seems to have worked
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: ok cool :)
[08:51] <FightingNavyman> yay got ubuntu installed :D
[08:51] <Poss> so every kernel on the system fails
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: ping is great for testing connectivity
[08:51] <FightingNavyman> ActionParsnip: what are some cool things to do now?
[08:51] <titanium> do gravitons have gravity?
[08:51] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Hehe yeah, at least I know they can talk to each other.
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> FightingNavyman: get fully updated is cool in my eyes, then get some codecs and DVD playack
[08:52] <SimonPHOENIX> how to add new mailbox to postfix?
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: ok do you have a firewall on windows?
[08:52] <FightingNavyman> kk
[08:52] <SimonPHOENIX> i have not any users in /home
[08:53] <ale_> i, how do I check if firefox is 64bit or 32?
[08:53] <Poss> PiD: 1, comm: run-init Not Tainted 2.6.31-17-generic     Call Trace.. panic.. find new reaper...  forget original parent... exit_notify... do_exit.. sys_write,,, sys_exit..syscall_call     with a whole bunch of numbvers and hex code thrown in there too
[08:53] <Poss> any of this mean anything to anyone?
[08:53] <titanium> i like gravity. not a big fan of acceleration
[08:53] <Poss> I think I'm going to cry ;(
[08:53] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Yes I do, the Windows Firewall
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> ale_: what is the output of: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep -i firef     use http://pastie.org to host the output. Thanks
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: ok, is it configured to allow access to the share?
[08:54] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure; I'll take a look at the control panel
[08:54] <FightingNavyman> ale_: look for "about firefox" ?
[08:54] <Poss> kernel panic..  find_new_reaper...   forget_original_parent..   those are things are an operating system just is never meant to say
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> Poss: try booting to liveCD and fsck the partition as well as test your ram
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: you could disable it to test ;)
[08:54] <Poss> I don't have a livecd
[08:54] <ale_> ActionParsnip: well, linux IS running in 64bit
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> Poss: then test ram from grub
[08:55] <Poss> kk
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> ale_: then the firefox will be 64bit too
[08:55] <titanium> heres some computer programming profanity- goto L
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> ale_: the apps will match the arch of your install unless you take extra steps
[08:55] <ale_> ActionParsnip: the output of dpkg is 3.6.13+build3_nobinonly-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[08:55] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Just tried; it's not the firewall
[08:56] <FightingNavyman> i dont get how I download waaay faster on ubuntu and on win7 it downlaoads freaking slow
[08:56] <ale_> ActionParsnip: sure?
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: cool, ok in ubuntu if you run: smbtree    do you see the share(s)
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> ale_: positive
[08:56] <ale_> ActionParsnip: thanks a lot
[08:56] <FightingNavyman> win7 i get: 260kB/s and ubuntu gives me 530kB/s
[08:56] <titanium> must unite laws of physics into one cohesive whole
[08:56] <FightingNavyman> o.o
[08:56] <VxQe> Could someone please give me some advice re setting up ssh?
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> ale_: you can get 32bit firefox on 64bit ubuntu but it takes extra steps
[08:57] <titanium> must divide by zero
[08:57] <FightingNavyman> bbl
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> VxQe: install openssh-server on the server side, it will run at startup and has x forwarding enabled by default
[08:57] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Hmm, no it's not there...
[08:57] <titanium> downloading laws of physics
[08:57] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: I can see the PC, but not the share.
[08:58] <FightingNavyman> wooo xchat rules :D
[08:58] <somethinginteres> I'm wondering why when people want their TV card to work with Ubuntu they generally need to go the Linux TV wiki and create a .conf file with specific values to get the card to work. Why does it not get automatically recognised as with other hardware (in a significant number of varying cases)
[08:58] <phrozen> -pl
[08:58] <VxQe> Right, ssh is working that is not the issue. The problem I am having is that I have root login disabled in ssh_config and also passwordauthentication disabled but can still login as root with a password.
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: if you press ALT+F2 and run:   smb://hostname/sharename     does it connect (change hostname to the name of the PC, and share name to the name of the share you created)
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> VxQe: did you restart the sshd service after editting the config?
[08:59] <titanium> created tennis versus calculator
[08:59] <VxQe> Yep.
[08:59] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: No it didn't... does that mean I haven't shared correctly?
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> titanium: do you have an ubuntu question?
[08:59] <titanium> yes
[08:59] <Lantizia> can i stop rhythmbox removing stuff from it's queue?
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: its worth double checking but you can connect from ubuntu using that in a run box
[08:59] <titanium> whats green and brown and if it falls out of a tree it will kill you?
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> titanium: thats not ubuntu related, can you please respect the channel rules
[09:00] <milokliz> anyone how can i ensure that no network managers are controlling the card
[09:00] <titanium> what subject is being discussed here
[09:01] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: When I connect to the box using Nautilus, I only see a folder called "print$"
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> titanium: ubuntu support ONLY
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: then the share is bad
[09:01] <titanium> you think im funny dont you
[09:01] <bonjoyee> Lantizia: what do you mean exactly?
[09:01] <FightingNavyman> ActionParsnip, why dont you have +o or +v you seem to be the only one who helps in here :(
[09:01] <titanium> ill leave if necessary
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> titanium: replace 'funny' with 'annoying' and you are getting close
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> titanium: you are welcome to stay
[09:02] <Lantizia> bonjoyee, "what do you mean exactly?" <- oh dear oh dear
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> titanium: just keep to the rules of the channel
[09:02] <titanium> dont like to say anything unless its witty
[09:02] <soreau> Does wmctrl work for anyone else? Seems to be utterly broken here. Silent failure
[09:02] <Lantizia> anyone else?
[09:02] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: When I check it out in my networks folder of the Windows box, the share comes up fine. Something's getting lost on the way to Ubuntu :p
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> FightingNavyman: i'm regular but not op, although I do have my cloak :)
[09:03] <FightingNavyman> a3Dman,  wake up bro
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: try a reboot, windows loves that stuff
[09:03] <FightingNavyman> damn taking for ever to do updates
[09:03] <ale_> I would like to install Java-JRE and the firefox plug-in. Should I just install it from synaptic or should I manually install it? I've heard there is a 64bit version, which I would like to use..
[09:03] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Already did, a minute ago haha
[09:03] <FightingNavyman> what i love about ubuntu is I dont have to restart pc for changes to take effects
[09:04] <ikonia> FightingNavyman: you do for some
[09:04] <FightingNavyman> but very little
[09:04] <FightingNavyman> unlike windows u gotta update for every single update
[09:04] <FightingNavyman> restart pc**
[09:04] <Poss> so my uncle just informed me that before i updated they'd been getting "harddrive failure immenent" warnings :/
[09:04] <FightingNavyman> damn wtf am I on D:
[09:04] <FightingNavyman> i keep talking weird
[09:05] <Logan_WP> !language | FightingNavyman
[09:05]  * jfm` is away: Je ne suis pas là
[09:05] <FightingNavyman> o.O
[09:05] <FightingNavyman> wtf
[09:05] <FightingNavyman> tab will freaking spam people on xchat :|
[09:05] <titanium> could you suggest a place for me to go
[09:05] <FightingNavyman> oops sorry abotut that
[09:06] <hilarie> !ot
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: that's all I got dude, maybe others can help but you now know the fundamentals. Maybe reboot ubuntu and the router
[09:07] <titanium> you cant just beam me there can you. im new at this
[09:07] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Roger; thanks for your help, I really appreciate the effort.
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Poss: d'oh. time for a new drive and a data restore
[09:07] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: I should just shoot my windows box, really.
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: no worries dude, I appreciate the thanks :)
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> titanium: just type:   /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:09] <Petfrogg> hello
[09:11] <Petfrogg> http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-10.10 <- following this. I got stuck on "vmbuilder kvm ubuntu -c vm2.cfg"
[09:11] <FightingNavyman> omg
[09:11] <Petfrogg> i get three lines about stuff going correct and then it holds
[09:12] <iszak> What's the repercussions of doing sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches every five minutes?
[09:13] <ale_> anyone?
[09:13] <iszak> ale_, what was your q?
[09:13] <Oli``> Anybody know if there's a PPA for the beta nvidia drivers? Like a beta version of the X-Swat PPA
[09:13] <Petfrogg> ale_  just arrived - restate your q
[09:13] <Poss> well aparently the "hard drive failure immenent" message had been happening for over 12 months, so they didn't think it was a problem
[09:13] <Petfrogg> Poss, restate you q
[09:14] <Poss> and now my uncle is ranting about open source software being shit because you need to update it..
[09:14] <ale_> I would like to install Java-JRE and the firefox plug-in in Ubuntu 10.04. Should I just install it from synaptic or should I manually install it? I've heard there is a 64bit version, which I would like to use..
[09:14] <Poss> "i still have a win 95 box in the workshop which works fine!"
[09:14] <iszak> Poss, rm -fr /bin
[09:14] <Petfrogg> Poss: remove autoupdate and dont give him root password
[09:14] <iszak> i would keep updates, just make it silent somehow.
[09:14] <iszak> but put him on a LTS.
[09:14] <Petfrogg> ale_ go for the ubuntu version
[09:15] <Poss> petfrogg yeah the problem is that I, in my infinite wisdom ran update to 10.04 and its killed the computer entirely
[09:15] <ale_> Petfrogg: but I understood is 32bit
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> Oli``: these guys have the 270 driver: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[09:15] <Petfrogg> ale_, havent tried it but my recomendation would be to go for the repo stuff first - ant then we can debug it
[09:16] <Poss> so I gues the only solution is to spend the next two days downloading a live cd and then attempting to save all their business data :/
[09:16] <Petfrogg> Poss: it killed the harddrive?
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> Poss: they don't have a backup?
[09:16] <ale_> ok, thanks for your help
[09:16] <Petfrogg> Poss: just go out and get them a new harddrive
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> Poss: like, seriously!?
[09:17] <Petfrogg> install the new operating system and then get slap the old disk in and image it straight away
[09:17] <Poss> the backup is on a second harddrive in the same computer
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Poss: thats fine, only the system drive is dying
[09:17] <Petfrogg> Poss, ActionParsnip: i agree with A
[09:18] <Poss> so then yeah, wait a couple of days for he live cd to download, then install to the working disk then copy the data scross?
[09:18] <Oli``> ActionParsnip: it's an old version - I need the very latest for GTX580 support
[09:18] <MACscr-mobile> With livecd, the proprietary wireless firmware was available for my lappy, but not after full install. Wth? Can I get the drivers from the USB install?
[09:18] <thauriswulfa> where can i get games for ubuntu
[09:18] <Petfrogg> MACscr-mobile, there is a box for checking that you do allow 3rd party softeware not under opensource licens
[09:19] <Poss> hi thauriswulfa, playdeb.net is pretty good :)
[09:19] <Petfrogg> MACscr-mobile, check it and install what you need
[09:19] <Poss> i was sure I had left this horrid soul burning angst behind when I left windoze :/
[09:19] <Poss> I really need to stop doing tech support
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> Oli``: I just went to nvidia.com and said I had your video chip under Linux and it suggested the 260 driver
[09:20] <MACscr-mobile> Petfrogg: Where?
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Oli``: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux-display-ia32-260.19.36-driver-uk.html    expand the "supported products" section
[09:20] <Petfrogg> Poss: make sure the autoupdate is set to off, sshd is on and you dont give him the root password
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> Oli``: so you don't NEED it at all
[09:21] <Poss> all those things were already the case petgrogg, it was me that hit update
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> Poss: btw your OS isn't to blame if the hardware physically dies
[09:22] <Petfrogg> MACscr-mobile, go into "Update Manager" and under the button "Settings.." go through that
[09:22] <Poss> yeah, but i am still to blame if I hit update and it kills the computer :P
[09:23] <MACscr-mobile> ?
[09:23] <Poss> well thanks guys
[09:23] <Poss> at least I know what happened now :)
[09:23] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: I've figured it out, strangely.
[09:23] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Alt + F2, then smb://<windows box IP>
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: sweet!!!
[09:24] <Petfrogg> MACscr-mobile, "System->Administration->Update Manager" and then under "Settings.." on 10.10
[09:24] <boogzter> Poss: You could always try the HDD/freezer trick and maybe buy enough time to snag an image. (if it's unbootable)
[09:24] <MACscr-mobile> I have no internet on the laptop without the wireless. So how can I use the update manager
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> Poss: I guess, i will work the drive some
[09:24] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: I have no idea why it didn't work any other way, but there you go :p
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> AegisX: its working so who cares :)
[09:24] <Poss> oh actually, while I'm here, I have another question for myself, not so dire
[09:25] <wcg> dsdsds
[09:25] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Yep. Workarounds are way better than no workarounds. But thanks again; your Alt+F2 trick worked well :)
[09:25] <wcg> HI
[09:26] <Poss> I'm pretty sure when i installed my version of 10.10 there was a little icon up the top right that launched empathy, only I did something at some point and now it only works from the menu. is ther esome way to get it back?
[09:26] <Poss> and maybe a volume icon too? :)
[09:26] <wcg> 这个聊天工具好简单呀
[09:26] <moustiK_> whats the problem MACscr
[09:26] <cutiyar> before when i played a video the .flv file would saved to tmp folder but now didn't
[09:27] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: Here is a script I made to "undelete" those .flv files: http://pastebin.com/F9qP9W3A
[09:28] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: Replace "chrome" with whatever browser you use.
[09:28] <MACscr-mobile> Moustik_: no wireless after install from USB. Can't seem to access 3rd party firmware without internet even though it worked during liveusb
[09:28] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, thanks but when to put these?
[09:29] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: I don't understand the question.
[09:29]  * Jordan_U should clean up that script and publish it properly
[09:29] <hedhorm_> Where can i find Compaq S200 Driver for linux
[09:29] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, i put thesecode to which file?
[09:30] <StepNjump> Hi guys, maybe someone could help me. I have a netbook here and everytime my power source interrupts, the system logs me off so I need to log back in. The problem is my power connector became loose with time. Any suggestion so that when it runs out of power, ubuntu won't everytime log me off?
[09:31] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: You can name it anything you want. It's a bash script, so you need to give it execute permissions then run "/path/to/script" in a terminal to run it.
[09:32] <StepNjump> ok guys, good night
[09:32] <yourwhiteshadow> StepNjump: this is a serious problem, there really isn't a software solution
[09:32] <boogzter> StepNjump: Try wrapping the power cord around the netbook to create a slight but consistent tention, so the power wont be interrupted when the cord gets moved, etc.
[09:33] <Poss> that was a good suggestion boogzter, i might try that with my network cable
[09:33] <boogzter> Guess I'm too slow lol
[09:34] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, i saved file in desktop and named it to bash ,if i want to run it just type bash in terminal?
[09:35] <sandstrom> What's the reasonable memory usage for a basic ubuntu server setup (top processes running is init, sshd, syslog, cron and a few others). No major apps
[09:35] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: No. I recommend a less confusing name, I call it "undelflv" and you would run it like "Desktop/undelflv" in the terminal.
[09:35] <boogzter> G'nite guys... thanks for the clinic :)
[09:36] <metallico> guys, i cant find the "repair broken installation" option on my ubuntu CD. does such option exist and where is it supposed to be?
[09:37] <novitololo> Hi, I downloaded jQueryUi.custom.zip and I can't extract the files in ubuntu.  I can do it in windows. Can it be because it is a .custom.zip ?
[09:37] <Jordan_U> metallico: It's only on the alternate install CD.
[09:37] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, i changed it and it say http://pastebin.com/39s497se
[09:38] <metallico> so that's different than ubuntu-desktop?
[09:38] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: If you're in the Desktop directory already then you need to run "./undelflv".
[09:39] <stone22> Hi
[09:39] <stone22> perhaps anyone here can help me with my broken ubuntu
[09:40] <stone22> gnome-panel and metacity do not start automatically any more
[09:40] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/qxuxUdYr
[09:41] <osmosis_paul> could be very complex but somebody know how can i create an script that read my syslog and copy a secction of this log file since one date of the file
[09:41] <Poss> what is wrong with it stone 22?
[09:42] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: The line numbers aren't part of the script. This is a link to just the text of the script: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=F9qP9W3A
[09:42] <stone22> my system boots with a blank screen. no gui :(
[09:42] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: read in realtime ? if not use sed
[09:43] <osmosis_paul> well realtime when cron finish his task i want copy that secction in the syslog and send an email
[09:43] <osmosis_paul> that's mean copy the secction of the syslog since sctm-one minute and the end of the file
[09:44] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, i created new was run but nothing happened http://pastebin.com/RcUp7iDW
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> stone22: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[09:44] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: What browser are you using?
[09:44] <stone22> Poss: so there has to be something wrong with the config files in gnome, but i dont know how to fix this. removed ubuntu-desktop completely and reinstalled it.
[09:44] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, i created new was run but nothing happened http://pastebin.com/RcUp7iDW
[09:45] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, firefox
[09:45] <cutiyar> awwww
[09:45] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, i changed chrome to ff
[09:45] <Romeo_BCN> for join to server irc-hispano what make?
[09:45] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, i changed chrome to ff
[09:45] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: sed -n '/sctm-one/,$p' syslog > syslog_section
[09:45] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, i changed chrome to firefox
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> stone22: ubuntu-desktop is a hollow metapackage, it won't remove anything but itself
[09:46] <Poss> hrmm I'm just another user mate
[09:46] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: Please don't repeat your messages.
[09:46] <sharrow> Anyone got an idea why installing ubuntu netbook 10.10 on an Eee 1000H would fail with CPU softlock on the Xorg process?
[09:46] <Romeo_BCN> alguien habla español?
[09:46] <Jordan_U> !es | Romeo_BCN
[09:46] <osmosis_paul> erUSUL, wow and what it is syslog_section
[09:46] <osmosis_paul> Romeo_BCN, tienes el canal ubuntu Castellano creo
[09:46] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: the file with the section you wanted.
[09:46] <erUSUL> !es | Romeo_BCN
[09:47] <Petfrogg> back...
[09:47] <stone22> ActionParsnip: thxs for the link but i dont think that in my case the graphic card is the problem. because it worked before
[09:47] <Poss> have you tried Deleting ~/.gnome2/session and restarting gnome?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> sharrow: you need to add the boot option:   acpi_osi=Linux
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> stone22: its free to try
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> sharrow: you can add it in /etc/default/grub once you get an installed desktop.
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> sharrow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks
[09:48] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, what i do?
[09:48] <osmosis_paul> erUSUL, so the section that i want? i think i dont understand very much. i'm gonna try
[09:48] <sharrow> ActionParsnip: and it's copying files now
[09:48] <Poss> stone22 System->Preferences->Session. On tab "Startup Programs", click the "Add" button and type in "Metacity" as the Name and "/usr/bin/metacity" as the command to run the application.
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> sharrow: ok then let it finish and such
[09:48] <Poss> then it should start every time
[09:48] <Poss> its not a fix, but a workaround
[09:49] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: the file contains from the line that has sctm-one to the end of the file. you can refine the regex if you want
[09:49] <sharrow> I tried it with acpi=off but apparently that wasn't the right incantation
[09:49] <sharrow> Aw yeah
[09:49] <stone22> Poss: i dont have a menu
[09:49] <sss> How do I find out what USB ports I have?
[09:49] <erUSUL> sss: lsusb
[09:49] <Poss> stone22: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466754
[09:49] <stone22> Poss: only a background and as mousepointer wich is a cross
[09:49] <sss> erUSUL, thanks
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> sss: lshw-gtk   may tell you too
[09:50] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: It looks like the script needs to be changed more than that to work with Firefox. I'm working on it now.
[09:51] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, ok i will test it now with chrome
[09:51] <Poss> stone22 you should be able to bring up the terminal through a keyboard shortcut and then manually start gnome panel
[09:52] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, but the undelted flv where would save?
[09:52] <stone22> Poss: this is not possible either. i only can do ctrl+alt+f1
[09:52] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: To /tmp/. It will print the exact path that it copies the file to (and from).
[09:52] <osmosis_paul> erUSUL, the only information that i can have is a date "Feb 18 00:15:05 ip-10-226-199-7 " for example and tell that i want the file from that date to the end of the file
[09:53] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: then use Feb 18 00:15:05 ip-10-226-199-7 as regex
[09:53] <stone22> is it possible to do a reinstall with default settings for gnome?
[09:53] <osmosis_paul> erUSUL, insert that info in the syslog_section?
[09:54] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: 0.o!
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> stone22: most are stored in ~/.config or ~/.gnome2 etc
[09:54] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: sed -n '/Feb 18 00:15:05 ip-10-226-199-7/,$p' syslog > syslog_section
[09:54] <osmosis_paul> erUSUL, sorry mate i dont get it yet how works the query that you send to me
[09:54] <ale_> how do I add a script to init.d? I'd like to run it at boot..
[09:54] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, iam playing video on youtube but didint show any thing in temp/ folder
[09:55] <erUSUL> ale_: run it from /etc/rc.local if it is simple stuff
[09:55] <rumpe1> ale_, update-rc.d
[09:55] <stone22> ActionParsnip: so deleting the config files and do a reinstall could help. i will try
[09:55] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: Any output when you run the undelflv script?
[09:55] <rumpe1> ale_, or for simple tasks just add to /etc/rc.local
[09:55] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, no
[09:55] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: Did you change firefox back to chrome?
[09:56] <ale_> I added the command to system->preferences->startup applications, but it doesn't start automatically.. is that possible?
[09:56] <rumpe1> ale_, init.d is for daemons, not for simple scripts
[09:56] <osmosis_paul> erUSUL, wow!!!! works!!! genius!!!!!
[09:56] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, its working thanks
[09:56] <osmosis_paul> erUSUL, thanks a lot buddy!\
[09:56] <Jordan_U> cutiyar: You'r welcome.
[09:56] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: no problem
[09:56] <ale_> yes, it's a simple command
[09:57] <cutiyar> Jordan_U, if u do it with ff would very good to me
[09:57] <rumpe1> ale_, then i would recommend /etc/rc.local
[09:57] <osmosis_paul> erUSUL, thanks a lot buddy!
[09:58] <Poss> stone22: from alt + ctrl + f1 you should be able to enter in: rm -Rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[09:58] <Poss> then when you switch back with ctrl +alt+f7 you should have gnome panel back
[09:58] <ale_> rumpe1: thanks
[09:58] <sharrow> ActionParsnip: Thanks very much, I'm good now.
[09:59] <osmosis_paul> well if i use date in the command line i receive this "Fri Feb 18 09:54:51 UTC 2011" somebody know how can i get from the system only this "Fri Feb 18 09:54:51 " and use as variable in a shell script
[10:00] <Glutsch> osmosis_paul : man bash, good luck...
[10:00] <VCoolio> osmosis_paul: man date, play with the options, like date "+%D %d" etc
[10:01] <stone22> Poss: thxs i try and tell u the results
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> !panelfix
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> !panels
[10:02] <VCoolio> osmosis_paul: date "+%a %b %d %T"
[10:02] <Poss> the parsnip has the skills
[10:02] <stone22> Poss: deleted all directorys and switched back, but still only background and mousepointer
[10:03] <osmosis_paul> VCoolio, thanks a lot
[10:03] <llutz> osmosis_paul: read " man date " to see a list of all format-vars
[10:03] <osmosis_paul> llutz, yep i'm on it
[10:04] <pinnacle> !games
[10:04] <pinnacle> !chess
[10:04] <Poss> well i've exhausted my knowledge, maybe one of the gurus here can help
[10:04] <riosgrp90> sup, i'm a new linux user. I just spent the entire night learning bash scripting and how to use vim. Someone please reassure that this is actually going to be useful. :(
[10:04] <leveldoc> what's up?
[10:04] <riosgrp90> me*
[10:05] <leveldoc> don't use vim
[10:05] <pinnacle> !gnome
[10:05] <leveldoc> use emacs :-p
[10:05] <riosgrp90> durffff
[10:05] <riosgrp90> back to the drawing board
[10:05] <pinnacle> !speed
[10:05] <pinnacle> !optimize
[10:06] <llutz> !bot | pinnacle
[10:06] <pinnacle> !Thanks
[10:07] <stone22> ok another try. how can all packages of a metapackage can be removed?
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> riosgrp90: if you need bash scripting to do what you need, then sure it's useful
[10:08] <riosgrp90> actionparsnip: this is all one big experiment so at this point i'm not sure what I need yet. :)
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> riosgrp90: I'd spend time just getting used to the OS and use it for what you need. If you determine you need scripts then use them
[10:10] <moustiK_> try nano way simpler but heretic lol
[10:10] <moustiK_> zhs for shell
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> +1 for nano
[10:10] <riosgrp90> actionparsnip: fair enough, my goal is to learn coding and linux system administration for work but i'm sort of doing it on my own

[10:13] <mikunos> any idea?
[10:13] <AegisX> ActionParsnip: Gotta say mate, your willingness to help out is admirable.
[10:13] <llutz> mikunos: increase verbosity level to get more informative logs
[10:13] <mikunos> llutz: hi, how have I do it?
[10:13] <rapha> Hi all!
[10:13] <AegisX> Also, everyone else who has been helping! I'm not singling him out, but he helped me and I notice his name more when it pops up :p
[10:14] <llutz> mikunos: check your ppp-options
