[12:23] <livingdaylight> coz_, thanks... I hope we get the choice to move it in the future. Workspace is not well integrated into unity as well, which is another issue
[12:23] <ikonia> fooman2011: ok, we are going to have to get agressive, sorry about this
[12:23] <ikonia> fooman2011: need to zeo the 3 disks
[12:24] <fooman2011> zeo ?
[12:24] <coz_> livingdaylight,  well you can set it to autohide  if you like
[12:24] <ikonia> fooman2011: (shouldn't need to do this, but I can't expalin why you array is behaving like this)
[12:24] <ikonia> fooman2011: zero,
[12:24] <fooman2011> ok
[12:24] <ikonia> fooman2011: how big are these disks ?
[12:24] <coz_> livingdaylight,  also you can install one of th e docks and they generally default to the bottom of the screen
[12:24] <fooman2011> 1To
[12:24] <fooman2011> each
[12:24] <ikonia> fooman2011: that's going to be annoying, is this a powerful machine ?
[12:24] <livingdaylight> coz_, it already seems to be on authide. Where do I find the preferences for it?
[12:24] <fooman2011> i3 540
[12:24] <livingdaylight> coz_, e docks?
[12:24] <ikonia> fooman2011: ok, this will take a while (sorry)
[12:25] <coz_> livingdaylight,   if you dont have it installed    sudo apt-get install  compizconfig-settings-managaer
[12:25] <fooman2011> no problem
[12:25] <fooman2011> ikonia: what's the command ?
[12:25] <coz_> livingdaylight,   no i was thinking more along the lines  of  cairo dock or awn
[12:25] <ikonia> fooman2011: sudo dd if=/dev/zeo of=/dev/sdb bs=5m
[12:25] <fooman2011> maybe it's fastest to reinstall my ubuntu server you know ?
[12:25] <ikonia> fooman2011: (that hopefully should speed it up, but not flood your buss)
[12:25] <ikonia> fooman2011: nah, reinstall of ubuntu won't do anything
[12:26] <coz_> livingdaylight,  after intalling that  you can open it with the   ccsm command ,,, go to the  Ubuntu unity plugin under the "Desktop category"
[12:26] <livingdaylight> coz_, is there a preference menu for the unity bar? I might prefer it set to 'off' for authide
[12:26] <livingdaylight> coz_, ok
[12:26] <fooman2011> ikonia: you mean that my disk are modified into the hardware ?
[12:26] <ikonia> fooman2011: yes (sort of)
[12:26] <coz_> livingdaylight,  click on the plugin to get into it' s  settings,, and under the "hide Launcher" pull down you have 4 options
[12:26] <fooman2011> ikonia: so ok let's go fo the command
[12:26] <livingdaylight> coz_, thank you
[12:27] <coz_> livingdaylight,  no problem
[12:27] <fooman2011> ikonia: sudo dd if=/dev/zeo of=/dev/sdb bs=5m ?
[12:27] <ikonia> fooman2011: you'll need to run it on /dev/sdb /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd - it's going to take a while
[12:27] <fooman2011> you sure ?
[12:27] <ikonia> fooman2011: correct
[12:27] <fooman2011> zeo ?
[12:27] <fooman2011> ok
[12:27] <ikonia> zero
[12:27] <ikonia> my r key is sticking
[12:27] <fooman2011> lol ok
[12:28] <fooman2011> ikonia: dd: invalid number `5m'
[12:28] <ikonia> 5M
[12:28] <fooman2011> ok
[12:29] <fooman2011> ikonia: the machine is doing something
[12:29] <sklorpion> coz_: you remember my problem wih xchat that i couldnt connet to servers on port 8001 - i went ok when i used chat.freenode.net instead of irc.freenode.net :] lol
[12:29] <nick_> somebody who can help me?
[12:29] <ikonia> fooman2011: oooh it will be busy
[12:29] <coz_> sklorpion,  I do remember it a bit,, yes,, has that be resolved?
[12:29] <fooman2011> ok so then i'll do this for sdc and sdb
[12:30] <fooman2011> and then it's finished ?
[12:30] <coz_> sklorpion,  ah cool
[12:30] <ikonia> fooman2011: reboot after that (makes it clean) and your disks should re-add
[12:30] <ikonia> fooman2011: you shouldn't need to do any of it, but it's being very odd
[12:30] <fooman2011> ok and md127 will dispaears ?
[12:30] <sklorpion> coz_: yeah just after changing irc.*.* to chat.*.* - donno why but im happy i did it. And thank for your time :-)
[12:30] <ikonia> fooman2011: correct
[12:30] <fooman2011> very well
[12:31] <coz_> sklorpion,  glad its working now :)  and no problem,, I dont think I helped that much :)
[12:31] <fooman2011> ikonia: thank you and see you after a long time to check it :)
[12:31] <nick_> so, I installed ubuntu 11.04. The first thing i do is setting the screen resolution right. But now there's some kind of fuziness  on my screen..
[12:31] <ikonia> fooman2011: I'm not going anywhere
[12:31] <fooman2011> ok :)
[12:32] <frostschutz> fooman2011: if the raid is still running you should stop it before doing anything with the underlying disk
[12:32] <ikonia> fooman2011: the array is stopped
[12:32] <frostschutz> and it's not necessary to zero the entire device just to set up a new raid or whatever it is you're trying to do
[12:32] <fooman2011> lol thank you
[12:32] <sklorpion> coz_: you did, i rememer years ago when after jonning some help chans on irc you could get only two answers - RTFM! and google.com ... Man you are the one that changes this :-) glad that you are so opend for helping ppl :]
[12:33] <Success> why is 1104 so slow?
[12:33] <coz_> sklorpion,   ah yes I remember those days :)
[12:33] <fooman2011> frostshutz: i think we have already tried this
[12:33] <Success> is raping my computer
[12:33] <Success> ( not my question )
[12:34] <fooman2011> ikonia: is the any way to see the progression of the operation ?
[12:34] <fooman2011> ikonia: or i just have to get the cursor back in the terminal ?
[12:34] <Success> I installed a couple things (zend and virtualbox ose) threw ubuntu software center and i cant find them
[12:34] <ikonia> fooman2011: not really, howver you can use iostat 5 to see how busy it is
[12:34] <Success> im on ubuntu 32 11.04
[12:34] <frostschutz> fooman2011: progress of dd: killall -SIGUSR1 dd
[12:35] <BlouBlou> Success: because your hardware is slow?
[12:35] <Success> i said ignore that
[12:35] <blink> how can i disable the splash screen on 10.04?
[12:35] <Success> and 10.10 was extremely fast
[12:35] <frostschutz> fooman2011: deleting an entire hard disk will take a couple hours depending on speed and size of the disk...
[12:36] <Dr_Willis|2> blink:  you mean the Plymouth animation, after grub.. befor the GDM screen?
[12:36] <fooman2011> 7200 1To
[12:36] <fooman2011> i think 1 hour per idsk
[12:36] <fooman2011> "disk"
[12:37] <fooman2011> see you in 3 hours so :)
[12:37] <frostschutz> uh, if you want to overwrite several disks, you can run several instances of dd in parallel
[12:37] <fooman2011> it's possible ?
[12:37] <Dr_Willis|2> dont forget teh bs= option to dd
[12:37] <Refael> hola, am attempting to show open WAN ports on nmap, though am having problems with the Server connecting to a primary Server
[12:38] <frostschutz> fooman2011: it's also completely unnecessary if your only goal is setting up a raid. a disk doesn't have to be overwritten just for that; so whatever problem you're having, the dd is probably not going to solve it
[12:39] <fooman2011> frostschutz: i'm a newbie
[12:39] <Alexanderos> I want to install ubuntu, I'm running the ubuntu windows installer, I plugged in an extra hard disk, will ubuntu use the entire hard disk?
[12:39] <fooman2011> frostschutz: i'm listening ikonia
[12:39] <Alexanderos> (I want it to use the entire hard disk, but it gives me weird options like use size 7GB)
[12:39] <frostschutz> aight, I'll shut up now
[12:39] <doc-donkey> Hello great people of Ubuntu, i came to request great advice from your eternal knowledge
[12:40] <fooman2011> frostschutz: i mean maybe you can discuss about this with him
[12:40] <fooman2011> frostschutz: we have tried a lot of thing before this operation
[12:40] <frostschutz> Alexanderos: the installer should allow you to select the entire disk. make sure you select the right one though :)
[12:41] <doc-donkey> Alexanderos : you'll be prompted on where and how ubuntu will be installed
[12:41] <frostschutz> Alexanderos: at least the live cd installer does, not sure about the windows installer
[12:41] <Alexanderos> http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/5/14707392492-orig.png
[12:41] <Alexanderos> made a screenshot
[12:41] <doc-donkey> So, heres my question, its a bit off topic but i hope you guys are gonna be able to give me your advice
[12:41] <Alexanderos> http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/5/14707392492-orig.png
[12:41] <blink> Dr_Willis|2: the animated ubuntu loading screen. I want to remove that and display the text dos-like boot.
[12:41] <sw0rdfish> how do you exit vi
[12:41] <sw0rdfish> editor
[12:42] <ggwtf> escape > :q
[12:42] <Jmoey> @TopGear - are you still on a livecd or do you have ubuntu installed
[12:42] <Alexanderos> its better to install from liveUSB?
[12:42] <Alexanderos> then windows insatller?
[12:42] <Alexanderos> than*
[12:43] <Alexanderos> (Don't have CD/DVD drive)
[12:43] <frostschutz> Alexanderos: if you want ubuntu to sit on a disk, and you want to be able to choose between windows / ubuntu when you turn on the machine, yes use the live cd / usb
[12:44] <Alexanderos> I would like it to start up in windows by default
[12:44] <doc-donkey> im using ubuntu since 4 or 5 years now, its been great. i just got my old desktop back and it needs to be running windows, ill instal ubuntu as well on it, but i'll also need windows.. is windows 7 easely crackable ? what version is the most stable up to date and takes the less memory?
[12:44] <john___> http://bit.ly/ffrOTm
[12:45] <candrea> Alexanderos, you'll be able to put windows as the default os easily once you have installed everything
[12:45] <An_Ony_Moose> is it at all possible to compile and use programs that use GTK 1.x?
[12:45] <Jmoey> blink:sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
[12:45] <Dr_Willis|2> !text | blink
[12:45] <Alexanderos> okay, I will download ubunut, put it on an sbd, boot from USB, install, and see how to do the boot order later
[12:45] <Dr_Willis|2> blink:  or try nust changing the quiet splash to be 'noquiet nosplash'
[12:45] <Jmoey> !text
[12:45] <Alexanderos> ubuntu*
[12:45] <Alexanderos> Sorry for my bad spelling :<
[12:46] <kajakajo> how do I open port 80 in ubuntu 10.04?
[12:46] <candrea> !piracy | doc-donkey
[12:46] <Dr_Willis|2> kajakajo:  install a service that uses taht port. theres no closed/locked ports by default.
[12:46] <Jmoey> kajakajo: should already be open unless you have a firewall
[12:46] <doc-donkey> oh, alright then
[12:46] <doc-donkey> thanks anyway
[12:46] <candrea> doc-donkey, sorry!
[12:47] <Refael> anybody comprehend the way to prove WAN ports open?
[12:47] <doc-donkey> no problems !
[12:47] <kajakajo> Jmoey, it's weird. I'm trying to figure out why I can't get through on port 80. A port check tool online says it doesn't see me on port 80, but if ubuntu is open, and my itnernet service says 80 should be open on the router, where's the hangup? Could it be closed on the router?
[12:47] <doc-donkey> im really not that enthusiastic about installing windows again
[12:48] <Jmoey> kajakajo: are you hosting a webserver or just trying to get internet
[12:48] <kajakajo> doc-donkey, windows 7 is actually really decent, even from a linux user's point of view.
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> kajakajo: have you tried nmap to your own pc?
[12:48] <candrea> doc-donkey, probably you'll be happy running windows in a virtual machine
[12:48] <mac|gyver> Hi, I'm trying to configure ppp / pptpd to authenticate through RADIUS. without RADIUS auth the connection succeeds. I don't see packets going to the radius server that I have configured. Any idea how to troubleshoot why pppd doesn't call out to radius?
[12:48] <Jmoey> personally, i think win7 is a kde4 ripoff
[12:48] <kajakajo> Jmoey, I'm trying to access the virtual webserver I just got on amazon. MonkeyDust I don't know what nmap is.
[12:49] <kajakajo> got through amazon web service (aws)*
[12:49] <Jmoey> kajakajo nmap is a port scanner
[12:49] <Jmoey> install zenmap for a gui (kajakajo)
[12:49] <MonkeyDust> kajakajo: try nmap <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:49] <kajakajo> installing
[12:49] <blink> Dr_Willis|2: I am doing this for my laptop. I remember doing that on my pc where I removed a line from a text file. Where can I locate that?
[12:49] <Dr_Willis|2> blink:  /etc/default/grub
[12:50] <kajakajo> Jmoey, MonkeyDust, what will this tell me?
[12:51] <kajakajo> not shoing 999 closed ports, it says
[12:51] <blink> Dr_Willis|2: how can I locate it? I clicked ctrl+H to show hidden files and etc folder is not found.
[12:51] <kajakajo> 631 is the only one listed
[12:51] <kajakajo> it's open, tcp ipp
[12:51] <kajakajo> does that mean it's the only open port?
[12:51] <yuvateja> what is theeqvalent package for macro media flash(not flash player)/
[12:51] <MonkeyDust> kajakajo: what about port 80, in nmap
[12:51] <imranh> Hello, I have a quick question, TRIM is only on the 2.6.33 kernel right?
[12:51] <kajakajo> how do I check that? nmap port 80?
[12:52] <Jmoey> kajakajo: yes
[12:52] <Jmoey> i mean that port is closed (kajakajo)
[12:52] <kajakajo> it didn't liked that.
[12:52] <kajakajo> 'failed to resolve given hostname/port'
[12:52] <kajakajo> ok, how can I open it? Is it at the computer or router end?
[12:52] <kajakajo> @Jmoey
[12:53] <BigWookie> Hey on archive.ubuntu.com jaunty somehow VANISHED
[12:54] <Jmoey> kajakajo are you hosting a server or trying to connect to one
[12:54] <Dr_Willis|2> blink:  the full path is /etc/default/grub     use the terminal to do sysadmin type tasks.. running nautilus as root is asking for problems
[12:54] <kajakajo> conect to one
[12:54] <kajakajo> Jmoey connect to one
[12:54] <Dr_Willis|2> blink:  its /etc/ not 'etc'
[12:54] <BigWookie> every version since dapper is on the server but jaunty isnt
[12:55] <Dr_Willis|2> !jaunty
[12:55] <Dr_Willis|2> perhaps they finally cleaned it out?
[12:55] <BigWookie> yeah and dapper still remains on the server^^
[12:55] <BigWookie> !dapper
[12:55] <Dr_Willis|2> dapper was much cooler. :)
[12:55] <Jmoey> kajakajo, you shouldn't need port 80 on your client, just on your server
[12:55] <Dr_Willis|2> I thoguth they all got moved to some EOL server.
[12:55] <craigbass1976> Dr_Willis|2, cooler than what?
[12:56] <BigWookie> archive.ubuntu.com sounds to me like that
[12:56] <Dr_Willis|2> a Dapper duck is much cooler then a Jaunty Jackapope :) Ducks in Tophats - beats rabbits with antlers.
[12:57] <kajakajo> Jmoey, this is my first time doing this, so perhaps I misunderstood... Could I show you the quick start guide and get your help? Supposedly my server should be up, but I type in the public DNS and I don't get access

[13:01] <kajakajo> Jmoey, is that a question?
[13:02] <kajakajo> http://bitnami.org/tutorials/amazon_machine_images
[13:02] <Jmoey> sorry don't know why the lines overflowed
[13:02] <Jmoey> ok thanks
[13:02] <Jmoey> that opens ok
[13:02] <kajakajo> sorry
[13:03] <Jmoey> kajakajo, make sure you have http open
[13:03] <kajakajo> I didn't see this at first, so I did it all just figuring it out, but didn't do the security groups step. When I later went to check it, I don't see the options I see on that page. I can't assess how important it is, and it seems to me that it should work anyways. Only thing I'm not sure about is port 80.
[13:03] <kajakajo> How do I check if port 80 is open?
[13:03] <kajakajo> That's exactly how I got started on this.
[13:03] <Dr_Willis|2> by defualt theres NO closed ports
[13:03] <Jmoey> kajakajo:http://bitnami.org/images/amazon_guide/ami_38.png?1304527706
[13:04] <Jmoey> kajakajo:you should be able to select it from the list
[13:04] <Dr_Willis|2> theres just nothing listening on port 80 by defalt unless you instal  a web server kajakajo
[13:04] <kajakajo> Right. So, Security groups just doesn't show such a list. It doesn't look exactly like that. I do see "default" as the only one under the top menu 'name', but clicking on it shows a lower menu that's slightly different. Should I stop my instance and start from scratch again, and maybe it would change?
[13:05] <bluelf> Hey I am facing a problem with update manager it gives this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/614148/ .Can anyone help me on this ??
[13:05] <kajakajo> Or is there some way to change the ports actively? Dr_Willis|2 what do you mean?
[13:05] <kajakajo> Dr_Willis|2, from what I understand, I did just install a webserver.
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> bluelf: try booting in recovery modus, it shows you some options
[13:08] <bluelf> MonkeyDust, oki
[13:10] <ikonia> frostschutz: how's it looking ?
[13:10] <ikonia> fooman2011: how's it looking
[13:10] <ikonia> frostschutz: sorry, not you, typo
[13:17] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[13:19] <kajakajo> Jmoey, Dr_Willis|2 so the menu is different now, and it allows me to add an inbound 'rule'. It lets you pick the protocol, and then has a box, which it wants you to fill in based on this template: " <IP_ADDRESS>/24". Is that supposed to be my IP address followed by the port in question?
[13:19] <theadmin> kajakajo: That's not a port, that's some range thing, not sure how they work
[13:20] <kajakajo> theadmin, any info I could give you that would help you figure it out?
[13:21] <BluesKaj> kajakajo, that's an IP range allowed by the file
[13:21] <theadmin> kajakajo: Nah, you'd best ask someone else
[13:21] <anuvrat> hi folks, I just tried to setup rotating cube desktop changer on unity using compizconfig-settings-manager

[13:23] <coz_> anuvrat,  ok open ccsm,, disable Desktop wall,, then enable  desktop cube , rotate cube, and viewport switcher,,, then enable unity plugin ,,if ANY  conflic dialog oens  "Ignore" it
[13:23] <theadmin> anuvrat: Not Ubuntu?
[13:23] <Elwood_> what do I do?
[13:23] <anuvrat> obviously its ubuntu 11.04
[13:23] <anuvrat> why would i be posting here ;)
[13:24] <anuvrat> coz_,  okay let me try
[13:24] <coz_> anuvrat,  I have cube running fine on Unity so it is indeed possible,, and this behavior will not be premanent,, it is being looked into
[13:24] <coz_> anuvrat,  previously the cube was not even possible on Unity
[13:24] <kajakajo> BluesKaj, I'm trying set up a server for the first time. It's an Amazon web services server, and it's a preset image, vps I guess. I'm pretty newb, and I don't know their internal system... Thought I had it setup, but when I tried to type in the public DNS, I can't find it. Here's the quickstart guide I'm following: http://bitnami.org/tutorials/amazon_machine_images
[13:24] <kajakajo> The menu has changed, however, on the security groups page.
[13:24] <kajakajo> instead it gives me a list of services, and then a box to enter a variable in the form mentioned above.
[13:25] <anuvrat> coz_,  if its so then tell me the procedure to reset it to the way it was
[13:25] <kajakajo> <IP_ADDRESS>/0
[13:25] <coz_> anuvrat,  set compiz /unity to defaults you mean?
[13:25] <kajakajo> "	 (e.g., <IP_ADDRESS>/24, sg-47ad482e, or<PHONE_NUMBER>/default)"
[13:25] <anuvrat> coz_, yes, because it belongs to a person new to Ubuntu and i was gonna try and impress him with compiz
[13:26] <anuvrat> coz_, I should better get it back lest it have the opposite effect
[13:26] <coz_> anuvrat,  resetting to defaults is easy,, just open ccsm  click on "Preferences"  and hit the "reset to defaults button"
[13:26] <kajakajo> for instance, "1234567890/default", would that allow all access?
[13:26] <anuvrat> coz_, ah.. why didn't that click in my mind ,
[13:27] <coz_> anuvrat,   :)  you could manually do it also but the reset button is far easier
[13:27] <BluesKaj> kajakajo, oops that's somewhat beyong my scope...I thiught you were setting up dns and IP ranges internally
[13:28] <Tor_> I can't find shared folders in Virtualbox :S
[13:28] <Tor_> Using Windows 7 as guest
[13:28] <theadmin> Tor_: Install the guest additions.
[13:29] <Tor_> Where do I find it?
[13:29] <theadmin> Tor_: Ugh... In the VM, Devices -> Install VirtualBox Guest Additions
[13:29] <rationalOgre> kajakajo: are you editing hosts.allow and hosts.deny files?
[13:29] <anuvrat> coz_, now the person has done something stupid and I can't find compizconfig-settings-manager in the applications menu, nor can I invoke it from the terminal
[13:30] <coz_> anuvrat,   ccsm
[13:30] <anuvrat> coz_, upon firing apt-get install for compizconfig settings manager, it says that it is already isntalled
[13:30] <coz_> anuvrat,  just hit  alt+F2     ccsm or in terminal
[13:30] <Alexanderos> I am now created an live USB, if I boot from this USB, install ubuntu on my 2nd harddisk, will I be able to read my windows files from ubuntu, and my ubuntu files from windows?
[13:30] <theadmin> Alexanderos: Yes, no.
[13:31] <sahip> um, what channel should I go for problems related to building computer?
[13:31] <Alexanderos> ah
[13:31] <theadmin> Alexanderos: Windows can't access Linux filesystems, but the opposite is possible
[13:31] <theadmin> sahip: #hardware
[13:31] <anuvrat> coz_, thats fine okay
[13:31] <anuvrat> coz_, but there is nothing like reset to defaults visible
[13:31] <Alexanderos> silly windows :<
[13:31] <sahip> theadmin: how can I get myself invited in there?
[13:31] <Alexanderos> any last advice before I boot and install ubuntu?
[13:31] <Tor_> theadmin: So I install Virtualbox in Windows first? Can't find it there.. Installed the  host program
[13:32] <LjL> i'd like to do two things in Firefox and Thunderbird: make the user interface fonts respect the system hinting and size settings, and make them use the global menu. how do i go about that?
[13:32] <theadmin> !register | sahip
[13:32] <coz_> anuvrat,  just above the big "Close" button bottom left,  and just above advanced search is Preferences
[13:32] <kajakajo> BluesKaj well, it's not so important, just tell me what those numbers meant, and how i can set them so that any computer (or at least my computer) can access them... That within your scope?
[13:32] <rationalOgre> Alexanderos: Read then re-read the ubuntu article on setting up a dual boot
[13:32] <lotuspsychje> alexandros: make sure u got cable eth0
[13:32] <LjL> oh, i forgot - on 10.04
[13:32] <Refael> hola, am attempting to configure the system to do "Loopback"
[13:32] <theadmin> Tor_: Um, no. In the virutal machine window, open the "Devices" menu and find "Install VirtualBox Guest Additions"
[13:32] <rationalOgre> Alexanderos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[13:32] <Tor_> theadmin: Will try
[13:32] <lucky105> can I install gnome 3 I tried It early but failed unity cashed
[13:33] <anuvrat> coz_, the order from bottom is close button advanced search, preferences than a host of optoins of category and then filter
[13:33] <theadmin> lucky105: apt-get install gnome-shell
[13:33] <anuvrat> coz_, isn't there a command line way for this , it would be much more easy that way
[13:33] <coz_> anuvrat,  click the word "Preferences"
[13:33] <Alexanderos> I don't have a windows recovery disk
[13:33] <Tor_> theadmin: Did it :D Thank you!!!
[13:33] <Alexanderos> I don't even have a disk drive!
[13:33] <coz_> anuvrat,  inside you will see  "Reset to defaults"  button
[13:33] <LjL> theadmin: not in Natty
[13:34] <anuvrat> yup found it
[13:34] <anuvrat> thanks
[13:34] <theadmin> LjL: Oh?
[13:34] <rationalOgre> Alexanderos: most typically do not anymore.
[13:34] <LjL> theadmin: GNOME Shell is not there in Natty, you need a PPA which however does break Unity
[13:35] <rationalOgre> Alexanderos: Does your system have a hidden partition on which the recovery disk image is located?
[13:35] <theadmin> LjL: Oh. That kinda sucks.
[13:35] <Alexanderos> I want to install ubuntu on a 2nd hard disk
[13:35] <Refael> can anybody assist with "Loopback" configuration?
[13:35] <Refael> am attempting to prove WAN port 9000 open
[13:36] <Alexanderos> rationalOgre: http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/main/5/14707303938.jpg
[13:36] <Refael> using nmap
[13:36] <theadmin> Refael: Just scan "localhost"?
[13:36] <kajakajo> Can anyone tell me exactly what these numbers are in the context of server HTTP access settings, and what I should insert as this variable in its place to allow myself access to said server? "<IP_ADDRESS>/0" " <IP_ADDRESS>/24" "sg-47ad482e" or "1234567890/default"
[13:36] <rationalOgre> Alexanderos: Irrelevant, you still will have to overwrite the MBR on the first disk in order to set up a dual boot, that or have a means of bypassing the windows MBR
[13:37] <Alexanderos> master boot record, ah
[13:37] <kajakajo> the variable is called "source" under "inbound rules".
[13:37] <rationalOgre> And the reason having a recovery disk for windows is important is in case the MBR overwrite goes awry.
[13:37] <Alexanderos> well if unbuntu overwrites the windows MBR I have no way to recover it I guess
[13:37] <theadmin> Alexanderos: There's no need
[13:37] <rationalOgre> Alexanderos: You can create recovery disks for your windows install if you have a CD/dvd burner and blank media
[13:38] <rationalOgre> In fact, it's highly recommended.
[13:38] <Alexanderos> I don't have
[13:38] <anuvrat> coz_, all was fine .. after a restart the panel is gone :P
[13:38] <Alexanderos> not even a reader
[13:38] <rationalOgre> Extra USB thumb drive?
[13:38] <coz_> anuvrat,  oh so you need to re enable the Unity plugin probably
[13:38] <Alexanderos> Yes, of course
[13:39] <coz_> anuvrat,  if that's the case  choose " Ignore"  if a conflict  dialog appears
[13:39] <anuvrat> the desktop panel is gone coz_
[13:39] <coz_> anuvrat,  you mean the big Launcher?
[13:39] <anuvrat> coz_, everything
[13:39] <coz_> o0
[13:39] <anuvrat> coz_, only the wallpaper is visible
[13:40] <coz_> anuvrat,    in terminal    unity --replace & disown
[13:40] <BluesKaj> kajakajo, <IP_ADDRESS>/24 is an IP range of addresses, the 0.0..... looks like an example of dns entries like google primary dns is <IP_ADDRESS> ..I'm not impressed with the expalation offered on that page ..looks like it's written for IT guys
[13:41] <kajakajo> BluesKaj, yeah... How do I indicate it should be open to my IP?
[13:41] <rationalOgre> Alexanderos: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-repair-windows-7-from-usb-flash-drive-repair-without-installation-dvd-disc/
[13:41] <coz_> anuvrat,  if that doesnt work in terminal try    compiz --replace & disown
[13:42] <Alexanderos> yes, doing this atm :)
[13:42] <anuvrat> coz_, on unity, alt+f2 is also not working, how do I get to a terminal ??
[13:42] <anuvrat> coz_, tried the command on ubuntu classic, didn't change anything
[13:42] <kajakajo> BluesKaj, from what I understand, this is the settings to tell the server who to allow access. I could set all possible IPs open from HTTP, and then browsers would request HTTP access from their IPs and be allowed. I should be able, I guess, to just set my IP. And that I want port 80 (HTTP) and SSH (22?), and then ahve access... Just don't know how to use this variable properly. :(
[13:42] <coz_> anuvrat,   are you on Unity or classic right now?
[13:43] <kajakajo> Jmoey, see above
[13:43] <anuvrat> coz_, he switched on classic
[13:43] <anuvrat> coz_, things seem to be working fine
[13:43] <rationalOgre> Alexanderos: Down at the bottom you have the option of following http://www.intowindows.com/download-windows-7-recovery-disc-now/ to download the ISO instead of creating an intermediate DVD
[13:43] <Refael> ok, am attempting to connect a local Server instance to a Exterior Robust Server & WAN ports prove closed
[13:43] <anuvrat> coz_, I am suggesting him to stay with classic for a while
[13:43] <coz_> anuvrat,  ok open ccsm in classic and set up the cube,, then log off and onto Unity,,, then open ccsm again,, make sure the Uubunt unity plugin is enabled, if not enable it and choose "Ignore" conflicts
[13:44] <coz_> anuvrat,  if he is new to ubuntu classic is fine,, however eventually he will need to deal with Unity
[13:44] <anuvrat> coz_, how do I open anything in unity when even Alt+F2 is not working?
[13:44]  * theadmin will never want to deal with Unity or gnome3 again
[13:45] <coz_> anuvrat,  if you hit the ubuntu symbol in the upper left corner it s hould open a search     type in terminal then click on it's icon
[13:47] <rationalOgre>  kajakajo Is this helpful? http://cloud-computing.learningtree.com/2010/09/24/understanding-amazon-ec2-security-groups-and-firewalls/
[13:47] <kajakajo> rationalOgre, that looks promising, I'll check. Thanks
[13:47] <anuvrat> well , just enabling unity plugin in classic mode and then switching it to unity seems to have solved the issue
[13:47] <anuvrat> coz_, well , just enabling unity plugin in classic mode and then switching it to unity seems to have solved the issue
[13:47] <anuvrat> coz_, fewh
[13:47] <anuvrat> coz_, I was afraid that I have repelled an Ubuntu adopter :P
[13:48] <anuvrat> coz_, compiz had the opposite effect .. lolz
[13:48] <coz_> anuvrat,  yeah ,, at the moment the cube settings in Unity causes a bit of a hurdle  ,, that wont be the case later ont :)
[13:49] <anuvrat> coz_, till then I am not going to try and impress anybody with compiz and desktop rotating cube :P
[13:49] <anuvrat> coz_, thanks for your help
[13:49] <BluesKaj> kajakajo, port 22 is the ssh default port, http is 80 , usually afaik , if you have a dynamic IP then amazon must have an IP tracker app available for you to install on your server
[13:50] <coz_> anuvrat,  well once its set it should be fine,,, but I understand,, and of course you can always revert to classic
[13:50] <anddam> where should I look for wifi log? I'm in installer and it's not connecting to wifi WEP network, I'd like to see why
[13:50] <theadmin> anddam: Somewhere around /var/log, for sure
[13:50] <anddam> theadmin: that I figured :-)
[13:51] <BluesKaj> kajakajo, IP tracker aka dns server
[13:51] <anddam> what's superuser password in installer?
[13:51] <theadmin> anddam: The root password isn't used in ubuntu, please use sudo.
[13:52] <anddam> ah ubuntu user is in sudoer with ALL
[13:52] <anddam> theadmin: just noticed
[13:52] <theadmin> anddam: Weird right? xD
[13:53] <rationalOgre> Could always sudo su if you really wanted to.
[13:53] <rationalOgre> hehe
[13:53] <kajakajo> rationalOgre, you are amazing. Thank you so much, that was exactly what I needed. Have it running now.
[13:53] <theadmin> rationalOgre: meh, "sudo -i" is da way
[13:53] <rationalOgre> kajakajo: You're welcome.
[13:53] <theadmin> rationalOgre: But you can always "sudo passwd root" as well
[13:53] <anddam> theadmin: it's really system dependent, I remember there is a system against the usage of sudo
[13:54] <mneptok> theadmin: setting a root password is not something discussed on this channel.
[13:54] <theadmin> anddam: Gentoo?
[13:54] <anddam> maybe FreeBSD or Gentoo
[13:54] <theadmin> mneptok: Okay, sorry
[13:54] <anddam> anyway
[13:54] <kajakajo> rationalOgre, you always were a rational ogre.
[13:54] <mneptok> theadmin: in the grand scheme of problems in this world, that was hardly something that required any kind of apology. ;)
[13:55] <theadmin> mneptok: ...wut?
[13:55] <mneptok> theadmin: "apology unnecessary"
[13:55] <theadmin> mneptok: No need to get phylosophical on me xD
[13:56] <Leeds26m> anyone here know anything about plan 9? or where channels For plan 9 are? thanks
[13:56] <bazhang> !alis | Leeds26m
[13:57] <Leeds26m> !alis
[13:57] <bazhang> Leeds26m, /msg alis list *plan9*
[13:57] <jnixx> Don't mind me, I'm just testing out irrsi
[13:58] <theadmin> jnixx: goooood
[13:58] <jnixx> theadmin: yeah, it is pretty good
[13:59] <theadmin> jnixx: My main and only client :D
[13:59] <farrukhjon> hi all help me how do that in boot time system show me booting result
[13:59] <johna> advice needed, I am thinking of switching from Centos to Ubuntu Server. We run a WebDAV setup the partition for the webdav storage is /common. Would it be better to have this under some other partition? if so where?
[14:00] <anddam> theadmin: syslog helped, probably wireless chipset isn't supported
[14:00] <anddam> Atheros AR9285
[14:00] <Lekensteyn> johna: consult `man hier` for the correct location for locations
[14:00] <theadmin> anddam: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k
[14:00] <jnixx> Testing over for now, will return sometime in the near future when I actually have something to say!
[14:00] <anddam> checking, thanks
[14:02] <anddam> AR9285 (>= 2.6.29) , install kernel is 2.6.38 so that should be fine
[14:02] <mgeary> hi folks. i'm trying, for the first time, to compile a simple C program on Ubuntu using gcc. It works just fine on my Mac, but on Ubuntu, i'm getting these errors: http://dpaste.org/UNuW/. The first few lines of the code are here: http://dpaste.org/GKzO/
[14:02] <anddam> is there an ubuntu package for that driver?
[14:02] <mgeary> is there something more i need to apt-get install for this compile to work?
[14:02] <theadmin> !find ath9k
[14:02] <anddam> or do I need with m-a (or equivalent)
[14:02] <rationalOgre> anddam: what version ubuntu?
[14:03] <theadmin> anddam: Okay, just "sudo modprobe ath9k"
[14:03] <anddam> 11.04, I'm installing on a notebook
[14:03] <greek> i have a broken gnome :( what can be done ?
[14:03] <bazhang> greek, broken how
[14:03] <bazhang> greek, is this unity or classic btw
[14:03] <greek> here is what happened
[14:03] <rationalOgre> greek: superglue and be more careful when mowing the lawn?
[14:03] <rationalOgre> :D
[14:04] <bazhang> greek, a single line please
[14:04] <greek> ok.. in a single line
[14:04] <anddam> theadmin: it's already loaded, gnome menubar show the wireless icon, the point is NetworkManager can't connect to WEP network
[14:04] <theadmin> anddam: *shrug* get wicd?
[14:04] <anddam> theadmin: neverheard
[14:05] <theadmin> anddam: It's a wireless/ethernet network manager for GTK
[14:05] <rationalOgre> anddam: you sure the router is setup to accept connections from the netbook? (i.e. no mac filtering or such)
[14:05] <anddam> no filterin, I connected other devices this very morning
[14:05] <anddam> no password typo
[14:06] <thangavel> hello..does anybody here know why the " modem hung up the phone exit code=16" comes when i try to connect using wvdial??
[14:06] <theadmin> anddam: Do try wicd, it's often the only networkmanager that connects to wireless thingies
[14:06] <anddam> theadmin: how does it do the magic?
[14:06] <greek> i have been running kubuntu. i decided to give gnome a run. using kpackagekit , i selected ubuntu-desktop and all of its dependents were downloaded. then , during the installation, it froze at 71%. i decided to restart the computer. it booted up into gnome. then it crashed. i do not know how to fix my gnome install. any questions ?  bazhang
[14:06] <anddam> and I need to connect to a cable (not available here) in order to install it
[14:07] <anddam> unless wicd is on install cd
[14:07] <theadmin> anddam: You can get the package from packages.ubuntu.com anytime
[14:07] <bazhang> greek, all the packages were downloaded and it was configuring?
[14:07] <thangavel> hello..does anybody here know why the " modem hung up the phone exit code=16" comes when i try to connect using wvdial??
[14:08] <theadmin> !repeat | thangavel
[14:08] <bazhang> thangavel, dont repeat so quickly please
[14:08] <mgeary> it looks like for some reason my "#define" isn't being recognized when it's being used in a function. why might that be?
[14:08] <Lekensteyn> greek: could you boot in Recovery mode (GRUB menu) and run sudo apt-get upgrade, it should continue where is stopped
[14:08] <theadmin> mgeary: Uh... How is *that* an ubuntu question?
 sorry..i won't do again..
[14:09] <mgeary> theadmin: well, it works on my mac, but doesn't work on Ubuntu. I'm trying to figure out what else might need to be installed to make it work
[14:09] <mgeary> i assumed there were at least some people here with GCC-on-Ubuntu experience
[14:09] <theadmin> mgeary: Well, uh, a C/C++ compiler should be the only thing you need
[14:09] <anddam> mgeary: most likely a platform dependent ifdef
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> mgeary: what is #define? a channel?
[14:09] <Lekensteyn> mgeary: could you post your code on paste.ubuntu.com?
[14:10] <Lekensteyn> MonkeyDust: it defines a macro
[14:10] <mgeary> Lekensteyn: one sec
[14:10] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: A C/C++ statement to define a shortcut of sorts. Like #define PI 3.14
[14:10] <mgeary> Lekensteyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/614172/
[14:10] <rationalOgre> anddam: Doesn't appear that it is on the 11.04 dvd
[14:10] <mgeary> it's generated C-code from a stats program
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> mgeary: maybe you can ask in #ubuntu-devel, then
[14:11] <anddam> rationalOgre: I somehow thought I couldn't install without an internet connection, I'll just install from iso image for now
[14:11] <Lekensteyn> mgeary: what define does not work?
[14:11] <rationalOgre> anddam: have you 'dmesg | grep -i network' to see if you can spot any messages from NetworkManager?
[14:11] <mgeary> Lekensteyn: this is my error output: http://dpaste.org/UNuW/
[14:11] <anddam> rationalOgre: nope, I've been reading syslog
[14:11] <rationalOgre> anddam: It say anything?
[14:11] <mgeary> actually
[14:12] <mgeary> it looks like it doesn't understand "log" and "sqrt" and "expt"
[14:12] <mgeary> * "exp"
[14:12] <mgeary> do i need to apt-get install math.h or somesuch?
[14:13] <mgeary> WOOT. got it!
[14:13] <mgeary> have to compile with -lm
[14:13] <mgeary> but Lekensteyn thank you very much for taking an interest
[14:13] <anddam> rationalOgre: quite a few lines but it's not connected so pasting is a bit difficult
[14:14] <rationalOgre> anddam: understandable
[14:14] <thirt13gallows> so is anybody getting used to unity yet?
[14:15] <giantbadger> whats up
[14:15] <anddam> rationalOgre: the kernel says that AP denied authentication (status 13)
[14:15] <anddam> I can see the MAC of the AP
[14:15] <anddam> but there isn't any limit on the AP
[14:16] <irado> goodday, people
[14:16] <giantbadger> has there been any more word on this whole next kernel release being 2.8/3.0?
[14:16] <Lung4n>  Trying a LLC NULL packet
[14:16] <greek_> lost my wifi connection, using another now
[14:16] <bazhang> giantbadger, not on topic here
[14:16] <johna> Lekensteyn: Yep I had already read the FHS, and the logical place seemed to be either "roll your own" or /srv. If I use /srv am I liable to get stepped on by an Ubuntu server/service?
[14:17] <theadmin> irado: Not really, but hello anyway
[14:17] <greek_> what did i miss and what did you miss bazhang ?
[14:17] <irado> suddenly my XUbuntu (10.10) sound goes off and refuses to be on - cannot enable sound. Trying many times with alsamixer and others, no results. Any hint?
[14:17] <irado> theadmin: LOL
[14:17] <thirt13gallows> i thought kernel releases were supposed to be predictable
[14:17] <Lekensteyn> sorry phone 2mins
[14:18] <greek_> bazhang: ? i was disconnected
[14:18] <thirt13gallows> 2.7 next for dev purposes then 2.8
[14:18] <bazhang> greek_, is this download finished and configuring packages?
[14:18] <greek_> ok, now i know what you missed bazhang
[14:18] <theadmin> irado: Well, check that your audio system (ALSA, PulseAudio, OSS (does anyone even use OSS these days?)) is running.
[14:19] <greek_> i have been running kubuntu. i decided to give gnome a run. using kpackagekit , i selected ubuntu-desktop and all of its dependents were downloaded. then , during the installation, it froze at 71%. i decided to restart the computer. it booted up into gnome. then it crashed. i do not know how to fix my gnome install. any questions ? bazhang
[14:19] <greek_> when i ran kpackagekit again it said i had to run a command in teminal before it would cooperate with me. i did as requested, and kpackagekit no longer complains. however, it reports gnome is installed. also ... i have attemtped to uninstall and reinstall gnome... i suspect some of its dependencies were nt configured or installed correctly or completely
[14:19] <rationalOgre> anddam: everything I keep seeing during research is coming up with "woops, I had mac filtering on my AP" :(
[14:19] <crazybanana> kubuntu?
[14:19] <greek_> ---that is all you missed bazhang
[14:19] <no_idea> i need some help, ubuntu kinda died yesterday when i was doing a restart. i ran the recovery mode and it kept popping up things about a "drdy err", im on a livedisk on the same computer right now and  i cant mount the drive due to the daemon being inhibited
[14:20] <bazhang> greek_, I saw all that, try to enter recovery mode and fix there
[14:20] <greek_> what do i do in recovery mode ? bazhang ?
[14:20] <theadmin> greek_: pacman -Syyu, err, apt-get upgrade
[14:21] <greek_> thanks
[14:21]  * greek_ gets a pen and writes this down :D
[14:21] <alesan> hi
[14:21] <theadmin> greek_: Ignore the first command, just apt-get upgrade.
[14:21] <greek_> ok bazhang
[14:21] <theadmin> greek_: I'm not an Ubuntu user so my "usual" commands are a bit different
[14:21] <alesan> I am trying to start with a bootable USB but 11.04 kind of crashes I get an "initramfs" prompt
[14:21] <anddam> rationalOgre: I don't, this is actually "internet sharing" options of OS X and I've been connecting with several devices, including another notebook, iphone, ipad and android devices
[14:21] <rationalOgre> greek_: likely you will need sudo apt-get upgrade
[14:21] <alesan> with both amd64 and 32bit version
[14:22] <greek_> SET USER DO ? is that what sudo is short for ? bazhang ?
[14:22] <anddam> rationalOgre: actually there isn't an easy way to set MAC address filtering without fiddling with ipfw
[14:22] <theadmin> greek_: Switch User and DO
[14:22] <theadmin> greek_: AFAIR
[14:22] <einseenai> hello, guys, i'm experiencing strange thing after running sudo apt-get update in 11.04. http://pastebin.com/MLDcyEmN
[14:22] <rationalOgre> anddam: Hrm, ok.
[14:22] <greek_> thanks
[14:23] <rationalOgre> theadmin: Someone is an Arch user. :D
[14:23]  * rationalOgre 's minecraft server is a stripped down Arch box
[14:23] <einseenai> guys, i'm experiencing strange thing after running sudo apt-get update in 11.04. http://pastebin.com/MLDcyEmN
[14:23]  * greek_ leaves to recover gnome
[14:23] <no_idea> i need some help, ubuntu kinda died yesterday when i was doing a restart. i ran the recovery mode and it kept popping up things about a "drdy err", im on a livedisk on the same computer right now and  i cant mount the drive due to the daemon being inhibited
[14:24] <theadmin> rationalOgre: Yup
[14:25] <hmuller> Running  qemu-system-x86_64 Win7 VM, and cannot get smooth audio, any tips?
[14:25] <theadmin> no_idea: can't you even do something like "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt"?
[14:25] <vibhav> no_idea, Can I get a screenshot of that?
[14:25] <no_idea> tried
[14:25] <no_idea> ok
[14:25] <LjL> i'd like to do two things in Firefox and Thunderbird on 10.04: make the user interface fonts respect the system hinting and size settings, and make them use the global menu. how do i go about that?
[14:25] <hungryhubby> einseenai apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[14:25] <nicofs> Does anyone know of a good program to draw tactical signs and organizational charts?
[14:26] <no_idea> vibhav: where would i post screenshots, btw?
[14:26] <theadmin> no_idea: imagebin.org or imm.io
[14:26] <no_idea> thanks
[14:26] <Lekensteyn> nicofs: Perhaps you want to ask that on http://askubuntu.com/
[14:26] <theadmin> no_idea: or imgur.com or ... well any image site
[14:26] <LjL> nicofs: i don't know what a tactical sign is, but i think Dia is most used for charts
[14:28] <nicofs> LjL, military... like so... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/1st_Marine_Expeditionary_Force.png
[14:28] <anddam> seems this ASUS notebook has a linux Express Gate install builtin
[14:29] <anddam> i wonder if it's on recovery dvd and if it is any good
[14:29] <carrera> Greetings!
[14:29] <rationalOgre> nicofs: dia?
[14:29] <rationalOgre> nicofs: http://live.gnome.org/Dia
[14:30] <hmuller> anddam: If I recall mine was not on recovery dvd.  back it up before you delete it
[14:30] <rationalOgre> nicofs: Similar to MS Visio
[14:30] <carrera> I can't find a way to load my bookmarks.html file on 11.04
[14:30] <anddam> hmuller: but how do you start it? I mean I only see freedos at boot
[14:30] <nicofs> rationalOgre, i use that - but i would have to create every sign from scratch...
[14:30] <theadmin> rationalOgre: Arch is, well, rational :D
[14:30] <hmuller> anddam: which model do you have?
[14:30] <no_idea> theadmin: vibhav: http://imagebin.org/155605
[14:30] <anddam> P50IJ
[14:31] <theadmin> no_idea: Specify the mount-point explicitly, like sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[14:31] <salvo> \server openjoke.irc
[14:31] <LjL> well nicofs i can't seem to find a set ready to be used in Dia, but perhaps http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tactical_signs could be of use
[14:32] <rationalOgre> theadmin: I like Arch, one single installation taught me more about Linux then 20 ubuntu installs. No offense to Ubuntu, but it is "opaque" when trying to "get under the hood".
[14:32] <theadmin> rationalOgre: I know right xD PM me and we can continue that
[14:32] <no_idea> theadmin: not sure what you mean
[14:32] <theadmin> rationalOgre: Cause it's very offtopic
[14:32] <theadmin> no_idea: You mount devices to some folder
[14:32] <theadmin> no_idea: That's called a "mount-point"
[14:32] <theadmin> no_idea: the syntax of the mount command is: mount DEVICE MOUNTPOINT
[14:33] <hmuller> anddam: does your model come with the express gate hotkey button?
[14:33] <bencc> can I install a .deb package from a url in one step? wget http://example.com/mypkg.deb | dpkg -i
[14:33] <anddam> hmuller: nope, I'm reading the interweb and they talk about this button, this notebook doesn't have it but I see a partition has express gate on it
[14:34] <Lekensteyn> bencc: try wget http://example.com/pkg.deb -O - | dpkg -i -
[14:34] <LjL> bencc: i don't think dpkg supports stdin, so you'd need to do something like (not tested) dpkg -i <(wget -O - http://blah)
[14:34] <nicofs> LjL, because all these signs are modular i had hoped there was some program where i could just combine pre-existing sets instead of creating all myself...
[14:34] <Vustom> When I open files in the default movie player for Ubuntu it always resizes the file width and height to 2:1 instead of 1:1
[14:34] <Vustom> How can I fix this?
[14:34] <Lekensteyn> bencc: nope, does not work
[14:34] <anddam> hmuller: there are two fat32 partition, one 200 and the other 300GB (madness)
[14:34] <hmuller> anddam: Does the manual mention a specific key combination to start express gate?
[14:34] <Vustom> So it does it automatically..
[14:35] <bencc> LjL: trying
[14:35] <anddam> hmuller: I should check the manual, I never thought I'd have needed a manual to use a notebook but these are hard days
[14:35] <hmuller> anddam: if they included the express gate partition (only about 100MB) there should be a way to start it
[14:36] <hmuller> anddam: although I do not use it much, I kept the express gate partition to learn more about splashtop
[14:37] <no_idea> theadmin: where do i put a mount point folder?
[14:37] <anddam> hmuller: the manual talks about a "recovery partition" but it does cite windows (not present on this notebook), it says to hit F9 at boot but I already tried that
[14:38] <anddam> I see partition 1 is active in MBR, I'm gonna try to make partition 2 active and see
[14:38] <theadmin> no_idea: Typically it's just mnt.  gives me: wget No such file or directory
[14:39] <LjL> bencc: that's not what i said :P
[14:39] <LjL> bencc: dpkg -i <( wget http://blah/file.dpkg -O - )
[14:39] <hungryhubby> bencc: install it using the apt get
[14:40] <Tutankamon> sudo
[14:40] <Lekensteyn> LjL: shouldn't `wget http://example/dd.deb -O - | dpkg -i ` work too then?
[14:40] <LjL> hungryhubby: apt-get won't install local packages
[14:40] <LjL> Lekensteyn: no, dpkg doesn't want stdin
[14:40] <bencc> LjL: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[14:40] <no_idea> theadmin: it says its mounted, now how do i get to it?
[14:40] <redAshes> http://paste.ubuntu.com/614182/   <--- I was wondering if those errors had to do with my usb controller not being plugged in
[14:40] <LjL> bencc: you've probably forgot the "<"
[14:41] <hmuller> Running  qemu-system-x86_64 Win7 VM, and cannot get smooth audio, any tips?
[14:41] <no_idea> its disappeared from the lists
[14:41] <theadmin> no_idea: nautilus /mnt
[14:41] <LjL> bencc: or you put a space after it
[14:41] <anddam> hmuller: no Express Gate on product page tho' http://www.asus.com/Commercial_Notebooks/P50_Series/P50IJ/
[14:42] <anddam> hmuller: my guess is they use the same utility to format drives for both notebooks that have express gate support (hardware button key) or not
[14:42] <no_idea> there we go!
[14:43] <bencc> LjL: dpkg -i <(wget -O- "http://example.com/mypkg.deb" )
[14:43] <bencc> LjL: Cannot write to `-' (Broken pipe).
[14:43] <hmuller> anddam: must be the case, if you cannot boot it there is probably no point in keeping it
[14:43] <no_idea> theadmin: would this allow me to restart and expect it to boot properly from the drive?
[14:44] <bencc> LjL:  pkg-deb: error: `/dev/fd/63' is not a debian format archive
[14:44] <lolo> hi ubuntu experts
[14:44] <theadmin> no_idea: Doubt that.
[14:44] <lolo> trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on Imac g3 400 Mhz
[14:44] <lolo> screen goes blank
[14:45] <lolo> when live CD is loading ubuntu
[14:45] <no_idea> theadmin: how might i fix my drdy error then?
[14:45] <theadmin> no_idea: no idea.
[14:45] <lolo> tried editing xorg.conf file
[14:45] <redAshes> was my ? about zsnes innapropriate?
[14:45] <theadmin> no_idea: You asked how to mount the drive, I said
[14:45] <lolo> everytime it says new file
[14:46] <redAshes> exit
[14:46] <anddam> hmuller: firmware update says "2.Restore hidden partition type when pressing F9 and system is abnormal shutdown" but probably it's not worth it to flash and spend time for such a system
[14:46] <greek> bazhang: it reported that no update was required... anything else i can do to fix gnome ?
[14:46] <anddam> hmuller: I mean I'm going install ubuntu anyway
[14:46] <LjL> bencc: uhm yeah dpkg probably wants to be able to read the whole file in advance. just do something like "$File=$(mktemp); wget -O $File http://blah/; sudo dpkg -i $File; rm $File"
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> lolo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac
[14:47] <lolmatic> hi
[14:47] <LjL> bencc: except don't put the $ in the first command, just File=....
[14:47] <greek> bazhang: may be busy.
[14:48] <lolo> ty monekydust I will be back in a few min.
[14:48] <lolmatic> how can i make 3d acceleration work in wine? i installed directx 9 and stuff but all i get is some rectangles where graphics and stuff should be.
[14:48] <greek> does any one have suggestions on repariing a gnome install ?
[14:48] <Diverdude> are there some opensource rating/questionare systems ? Like, a page with a set of questions and a rating between lets say 1-10. And a sumary page that shows statistics based on the questions/raings?
[14:48] <wessel> how can I reinstall grub? when I boot my PC grub cannot find device
[14:48] <wessel> so it won't boot
[14:48] <wessel> I'm now running Ubuntu from live USB
[14:48] <anddam> wessel: ironically you need to boot
[14:48] <rationalOgre> wessel: hold shift while booting to get into the grub menu
[14:49] <hmuller> anddam: That was the first thing I did when I unpacked my ASUS UL30VT, install Ubuntu over the Win 7 installation
[14:49] <no_idea> theadmin: how do i mount a drive thats invisible?
[14:49] <wessel> I was in some grub fail loader
[14:49] <wessel> but no commands were working
[14:49] <anddam> wessel: I'd start with the live disc using the partition on disk as root
[14:49] <hmuller> anddam: but i did back up the express gate and recovery partitions
[14:49] <theadmin> no_idea: lolwut?
[14:49] <anddam> no_idea: what's an invisible driv?
[14:49] <anddam> drive
[14:50] <greek> has any one ever had peoblems with gnome not loading ?
[14:50] <bencc> LjL: trying
[14:50] <no_idea> theadmin: anddam: ive got an external drive that literally does not show up that worked fine the other day
[14:50] <greek> how can i completely remove gnome and all of its dependencies ?
[14:50] <wessel> anddam: I'm on the live cd now, do I go to some menu that shows disk partitions?
[14:50] <anddam> no_idea: is it present on USB?
[14:51] <hmuller> no_idea: is it a Seagate harddrive?
[14:51] <Lekensteyn> wessel: how many disks do you have? Dual / single boot system?
[14:51] <anddam> wessel: idk ubuntu and its interface
[14:51] <no_idea> hmuller: yes...
[14:51] <wessel> two disks, windows 7 on disk 1, ubuntu on disk 2
[14:51] <hmuller> no_idea: it spins but is not recognized?
[14:51] <no_idea> anddum: dont know hmuller: yea
[14:52] <Lekensteyn> what disk is booted from? (check your BIOS settings)
[14:52] <wessel> disk1
[14:52] <wessel> I can change it
[14:52] <wessel> to disk2
[14:52] <wessel> maybe that will fix it
[14:52] <hmuller> no_idea: you have the same problem I have with one of my disks, google "seagate bsy bug"
[14:52] <hmuller> no_idea: There is a fix for the problem, but you have to build a special cable
[14:53] <greek> retated question: does any one know how to fix a gnome that will not boot.
[14:53] <Lekensteyn> wessel: if not, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#SIMPLEST%20-%20Copy%20GRUB%202%20Files%20from%20the%20LiveCD
[14:53] <hmuller> greek:
[14:53] <no_idea> hmuller: special? how special?
[14:53] <greek> hmuller:
[14:54] <anddam> greek: that's not an helpful question, you should paste the actual error as you can read it in system's log or Xorg's log
[14:54] <wessel> hmm, yes that works :-/
[14:54] <hmuller> greek: Try opening a recovery root console (grub boot),  then run gdm at the root prompt, see if that works
[14:54] <Lekensteyn> wessel: can you boot in both OSes?
[14:54] <wessel> It boots ubuntu
[14:54] <wessel> now gonna try win7
[14:54] <Lekensteyn> good luck
[14:54] <hmuller> no_idea: you have to order stuff off the internet and have soldering skills and small torx screwdrivers
[14:54] <sulo_> hi folks
[14:54] <Lekensteyn> hi sulo_
[14:55] <no_idea> hmuller: cant just re-case the drive?
[14:55] <hmuller> no_idea: no, the bug is in the firmware on the drive.  replacing the card on the drive will not work either.
[14:55] <wessel> lol, it goes from grub, to windows bootmanager, and then it boots windows 7
[14:56] <lolmatic> how can i make 3d acceleration work in wine? i installed directx 9 and stuff but all i get is some rectangles where graphics and stuff should be.
[14:56] <no_idea> booooooooo
[14:56] <sulo_> i've got a small problem.. i', trying to install ubuntu on my Laptop... it has already win7 installed and i wanted to make the win7 partition smaller and install ubuntu on the free space... but when i start gparted it shows me my entire HDD as "unallocated"... any ideas on that?
[14:56] <Lekensteyn>  wessel: that's expected, it's called chainloading.
[14:56] <hmuller> no_idea: I have all the parts but still have to build the cable. So I haven't done the fix yet but I expect it will work
[14:57] <greek> anddam: it is basicly a failed install of ubuntu desktop. kpackagekit reports it installed after the incedent. however. the install proccess when like this; downloaed all dependencies of ubuntu-desktop, installed and froze at 71%. manual retsart and booted into gnome. gnome crashed. booted into kde. every attmept to boot into gnome fails to load gnome and returns to log in screen. when gnome does (rarely) load. it will crash (as in freeze)
[14:57] <Lekensteyn> sulo_: never heard of such an error, have you something like Bitlocker enabled?
[14:57] <anddam> greek: re-install gnome
[14:57] <greek> hmuller:  writing that down as a possable option, thanks
[14:58] <sulo_> Lekensteyn, nope... i've got win 7 prof .. there is no bitlocker in it... i've got an ssd drive.. but i dont think that this is the problem
[14:58] <hmuller> no_idea: my seagate drive was in a maxtor central access fileserver
[14:58] <bencc> LjL: thanks it works. didn't know about $(mktemp)
[14:58] <hmuller> no_idea: I thought the device died, but it was the seagate drive
[14:58] <anddam> theadmin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/660864
[14:58] <Lekensteyn> sulo_: have you removed your win7 partition?
[14:59] <greek> anddam: i did that. it still fails, i suspect some of its dependencies were not installed , not installed correctly, not configure or not configured correctly .. due to the freeze at 71
[14:59] <greek> %
[14:59] <anddam> rationalOgre: or was I discussing this with you? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/660864
[14:59] <hmuller> greek: that is not a solution, but it may allow you to reenter the graphical environment
[14:59] <greek> anddam: 71%*
[14:59] <sulo_> Lekensteyn, no.. i want to keep it... just want to make it a bit smaller
[14:59] <anddam> those should be marked by apt
[14:59] <Lekensteyn> sulo_: can you still boot into win7?
[14:59] <Lekensteyn> Otherwise you've lost your win7 partition
[14:59] <sulo_> yes.. i am currently in win7
[15:00] <anddam> sulo_: too bad
[15:00] <sulo_> ;-)
[15:00] <Lekensteyn> strange, could you boot into the CD again?
[15:00] <greek> hmuller: i normally use kde. this is a kubuntui install. after some trouble with plasam desktop, i decided to give gnome a try. i do not mind using kde though. its working. not without occcasional problems. still, it works
[15:00] <Lekensteyn> sulo_: are you using the ubuntu-desktop-amd64.iso installer?
[15:00] <sulo_> ok.. i'will boot in the live cd again and rejoin this channel
[15:00] <anddam> can I prevent an user from being shown at gdm's prompt?
[15:00] <rationalOgre> anddam: did you find the solution?
[15:01] <anddam> rationalOgre: nope but I'm reading while installing
[15:01] <sulo_> Lekensteyn, i booted the live cd.. and tryied to run gparted.. but yes it is the x64-desktop
[15:01] <Lekensteyn> sulo_: try upgrading your LiveCD packages by running sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:01] <Lekensteyn> (with GParted closed)
[15:02] <sulo_> ok... i'll try that... brb
[15:02] <theadmin> Lekensteyn: Does that even work? Upgrading right on LiveCD?
[15:02] <Lekensteyn> theadmin: I meant upgrading the packages on the LiveCD and *that* works
[15:03] <theadmin> Lekensteyn: I see... Well that was my question.
[15:03] <greek> anddam: if i had a way to remove all of gnomes dependencies and the ubuntu-desktop. i think a clean reinstall may fix it..
[15:03] <anddam> nano as default editor is _hideous_
[15:03] <wessel> I have installed ubuntu without a swap partition, what kinds of problems can that give?
[15:03] <theadmin> Lekensteyn: Funny how it manages to work considering that the CD is read-only
[15:03] <wessel> (my PC has 12GB of memory)
[15:03] <Lekensteyn> wessel: if your RAM gets full. the kernel will go kill processes
[15:03] <pushpop> my disk says its 100% in use but I can't find any files that would be taking up space
[15:03] <anddam> is there a GUI tool to manage users or should I just go with cli?
[15:03] <pushpop> what should I do
[15:03] <Lekensteyn> wessel: with 12GB of RAM you've only to worry if a program gets a memory leak
[15:04] <mrdeb> is ubuntu 1104 shaping up well
[15:04] <Lekensteyn> wessel: the other consequence of no swap is that you can't use hibernation (suspend-to-disk)
[15:04] <mrdeb> who uses hibernation
[15:04] <wessel> I never do that anyways
[15:04] <mrdeb> its slowr than booting up or waking upfrom suspend
[15:04] <mrdeb> that feature is useless
[15:04] <greek> wessel: if you have at leadt 500megs of ram.. it should be ok... i have 1gig of ram and a 1gig swap, and it rarely uses more then a couple hundred megs of swap and often uses 500 megs of ram
[15:04] <wessel> yes, exactly
[15:04] <Lekensteyn> theadmin: it's a special format, if a file is needed, it's read from the CD, otherwise it's retrieved from the RAM
[15:05] <AsSlowAsHell> anyone here familiar with manually editing GRUB2's grub.cfg?  If so, can they tell me what I'm doing wrong here: http://pastebin.com/0TMiDTTi   I get syntax errors and invalid commands when i do loadconfig manually in the GRUB command line, but it doesnt say what lines and where so it's hard to debug.  When I manually enter in a group of commands in one of the menuentrys they work just fine.
[15:05] <pushpop> my disk says its 100% in use but I can't find any files that would be taking up space.. what should I do??
[15:05] <AsSlowAsHell> My line endings are \n linux style and not \r\n windows style.
[15:05] <anddam> found, this new GUI somehow _is_ user friendly
[15:05] <hmuller> mrdeb: that's because hibernation places the system state in swap which must then be reloaded
[15:05] <Lekensteyn> theadmin: with the "toram" option at the boot options the whole CD is loaded into RAM
[15:05] <wessel> greek: well I guess I wanted to experiment a bit, what it is actually like to run a PC without swap
[15:05] <mrdeb> hmuller: what is the point? why not just reboot faster or use suspend
[15:05] <theadmin> Lekensteyn: Niceish
[15:05] <mrdeb> wessel: i run it without swap. its faster
[15:05] <Lekensteyn> theadmin: speeds up using the LiveCD a lot on a system with enough RAM (> 2GB)
[15:05] <wessel> I imagined it being terrible, but so far I don't notice anything
[15:06] <hmuller> mrdeb: exactly, I don't hibernate anymore
[15:06] <wessel> hibernate like memory dumps right?
[15:06] <Lekensteyn> AsSlowAsHell: it's a bad idea to edit grub.cfg directly, edit in /etc/grub.d/
[15:06] <greek> wessel:  how has it been working for you
[15:06] <mrdeb> yes
[15:07] <khan> ison khan
[15:07] <wessel> Well I tried filling my memory using a Java program
[15:07] <wessel> but I did not crash
[15:07] <greek> anddam: what file to i get to see the logs when failing to boot into gnome ?
[15:07] <mrdeb> you see, suspend is more useful than hiberate, but if you do default install of lucid lts, it erases suspend option and gives you theworse hibernate. this is not good
[15:07] <pushpop> my disk says its 100% in use but I can't find any files that would be taking up space.. what should I do??
[15:07] <Scientist> hi everybody
[15:07] <Lekensteyn> remember that filesystems like /dev/shm and other tmpfs-es use RAM
[15:08] <Lekensteyn> I've yesterday a VirtualBox instance opened with a shared folder in /tmp
[15:08] <hmuller> everybody says hi
[15:08] <Lekensteyn> hi Scientist
[15:08] <Scientist> hi Lekenstteyn
[15:08] <Lekensteyn> continuing my story, I accidentally filled that shared folder and my VirtualBox instance was killed because the system ran out of RAM (no swap)
[15:08] <AsSlowAsHell> Lekensteyn, the live CD doesn't want to generate the config for me.  I've got a pretty non-standard setup here... lmao.  the stage1, 1.5, 2 / grub install folders and config file reside on an NTFS partition and there is no linux on this machine.  I'm setting this up for a friend, heh.  The live CD doesn't want to generate me a GRUB2 config with this strange setup, something about not detecting
[15:08] <AsSlowAsHell> somethign with grub-detect.
[15:08] <greek> wessel:  yeah, linux does not like crashing. M$ windows is desinged to require a more powerfull computer and the use of third party apps to maintian it. this is intentional. designed to keep you destracted and unsatisfied.
[15:09] <anddam> greek: it depends on the error, I'd check syslog and Xorg.0.log
[15:09] <greek> anddam:  thanks
[15:09] <Lekensteyn> AsSlowAsHell: stage1, 1.5, 2? Sounds like Grub legacy, is this valid syntax for that?
[15:09] <no_idea> hmuller: its not showing up under mint or windows either
[15:09] <Scientist> Lekensteyn what OS did you wish to use?
[15:10] <MixMix> !help
[15:10] <khan> hai
[15:10] <Scientist> hi khan
[15:10] <Lekensteyn> Scientist: wish? I'm using Kubuntu
[15:10] <khan> am an new buddy to linux
[15:10] <AsSlowAsHell> Lekensteyn, oh sorry, I thought GRUB2 was the one with a 1.5 stage, heh.  No this isn't grub-legacy for sure, it was installed by a recent Ubuntu boot USB.
[15:10] <Lekensteyn> that VB instance was crappy win7
[15:10] <hmuller> no_idea: I know, I tested my drive under other OSs as well. It's the Seagate BSY bug.
[15:11] <pozic> How can I automatically download/cache all Vimeo and Youtube movies without having to click on them?
[15:11] <Lekensteyn> AsSlowAsHell: what was the syntax error again?
[15:11] <Lekensteyn> AsSlowAsHell: you might be interested in the wiki @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[15:11] <theadmin> pozic: I think it's in the Youtube or Vimeo settings.
[15:11] <anddam> is the new GUI ubuntu's or gnome's?
[15:12] <AsSlowAsHell> Lekensteyn, unfortunately it doesnt say :(  when i load the config with loadconfig in the GRUB2 interactive menu  it just spouts out like 8 syntax errors and 3 invalid commands.  doesnt say what line or give ANY additional info.
[15:12] <pozic> theadmin: is there nothing which detects there is a Vimeo movie and just sends a JavaScript click event to the component?\
[15:12] <AsSlowAsHell> Lekensteyn, checking out that wiki, thanks
[15:12] <Lekensteyn> AsSlowAsHell: are you running version 0.97ish?
[15:12] <theadmin> pozic: Maybe you can find some Firefox add-on/userscript.
[15:12] <AsSlowAsHell> Lekensteyn, yes thats the version.
[15:12] <AsSlowAsHell> err
[15:12] <AsSlowAsHell> sorry 1.97?
[15:13] <no_idea> hmuller: did you revert the firmware?
[15:13] <pozic> theadmin: I searched for it, before I asked here.
[15:13] <no_idea> or can you?
[15:13] <pozic> theadmin: thanks, anyway.
[15:13] <Lekensteyn> AsSlowAsHell: GRUB2 is 0.97sh
[15:13] <AsSlowAsHell> Lekensteyn, its 1.97 beta 4
[15:13] <AsSlowAsHell> i didn't notice you wrote 0. instead of 1.
[15:13] <Lekensteyn> oh, hang on I took it from my memory
[15:13] <Lekensteyn> indeed it's a 1
[15:13] <hmuller> no_idea: not yet, I am building the cable Sunday and will apply the fix then
[15:14] <Lekensteyn> 1.97 is new
[15:14] <Lekensteyn> err
[15:14] <Lekensteyn> 1.99
[15:14] <Lekensteyn> 0.xxx is grub legacy
[15:14] <AsSlowAsHell> i know its definately GRUB2 becuase it changged the hide and unhide command to parttool hidden+ and parttool hidden-
[15:14] <no_idea> hmuller: keep me posted?
[15:14] <angguss> if i want to have a webpage that can terminate and start a process on my ubuntu server, what would be the best way about going about it?
[15:15] <Lekensteyn> AsSlowAsHell: ignore that wiki then and look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[15:15] <AsSlowAsHell> Lekensteyn, ok thanks doing so
[15:15] <anddam> angguss: an exec performed server side, it's a way. What's best depends on context
[15:16] <diepes> anyone here got bitcoin  to work ?
[15:16] <hmuller> no_idea: Sure, check back here this time Sunday and I'll let you know how it went

[15:17] <mrdeb> or something in network interfaces it didnt do
[15:17] <angguss> anddam: i've got a java application i want to control the running of, so it can be started/killed via web, i'd have to use something like php?
[15:17] <anddam> angguss: does this application offer a remote control?
[15:17] <anddam> angguss: like a cli tool to send it commands
[15:18] <lolmatic> how can i make 3d acceleration work in wine? i installed directx 9 and stuff but all i get is some rectangles where graphics and stuff should be.
[15:18] <anddam> angguss: PHP is a choice, java itself can be a choice, it depends on what you already know and what you're willing to learn
[15:20] <lolo> Powerpc G3 400Mhz, trying to install 10.10 ubuntu. displays ubuntu logo after loading live-powerpc , then mid way screen goes blank. Tried editing xorg.conf file to change vertical and horizontal screen refresh rates but no xorg.conf file found. on editing it shows new file
[15:20] <angguss> anddam: well i've used php before, so i suppose that would be what to use. it doesn't have a remote control
[15:21] <anddam> angguss: how are you going to terminate the application, by killing it?

[15:22] <wessel_> can someone help me fix sound in flash in firefox?
[15:23] <lolo> yes
[15:23] <Lekensteyn> wessel_: running Ubuntu Natty 11.04?
[15:23] <wessel_> I ran some commands already but they did not work
[15:23] <lolo> Apple iMAC G3
[15:23] <wessel_> e.g.: sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
[15:23] <lolo> hello anddam
[15:23] <Lekensteyn> wessel_: 64 bits or 32 bit?
[15:23] <wessel_> yes I'm running latest version
[15:23] <paul__> hy all
[15:23] <wessel_> x64
[15:23] <Lekensteyn> wessel_: no needfor alsa-oss
[15:23] <lolo> G3 Imac 400Mhz
[15:23] <wessel_> installed 1 sec ago, and ran all updates
[15:23] <Lekensteyn> wessel_: run alsamixer
[15:23] <lolo> I am trying to clean format and run ubuntu 10.10 only
[15:24] <Lekensteyn> wessel_: and use arrow keys (L/R) to navigate and Up/Down for changing the values
[15:24] <anddam> lolo: that's an OldWorld machine, isn't it?
[15:24] <lolo> yeah
[15:24] <lolo> 2001
[15:24] <wessel_> this? sudo apt-get install alsamixer
[15:24] <Lekensteyn> no, alsamixer is already installed
[15:24] <lolo> have the OS 9.0 OS for it
[15:24] <Lekensteyn> just the program "alsamixer"
[15:24] <Lekensteyn> no sudo or something
[15:25] <Lekensteyn> be careful with sudo you can break your system with it
[15:25] <anddam> lolo: but you're already into the system if you're running Xorg. Nowadays xorg uses autoconfigure so you won't find a xorg.conf but you can dump one running Xorg with a specific option as root, then use this dumped file as configuration
[15:25] <wessel_> ah
[15:25] <wessel_> it runs

[15:40] <wessel> ah, that worked, guess I need to learn to restart ubuntu

[15:40] <_Lucifer> DirtyDawg: I am aware, it just seems a bit odd to me that -3D seems to be working in the live environment, but claims the hardware is unsupported in the full install. granted, I guess there are some weird things like that with the live session sometimes. like when I installed on my brother's old computer a few releases back the live environment would boot perfectly, but trying to actually login to the full install would just cause an endless loop of bri

[15:42] <wessel> Yes, but if you change sound settings, you must reboot :O
[15:42] <Lekensteyn> wessel: no, that might be caused by your installation of various sound packages (alsa-oss?)
[15:42] <wessel> ah yes, I did install alsa-oss

[16:14] <nit-wit> Id10T, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/

[16:15] <vpark> edbian: The same cable works with another laptop well
[16:15] <sailand> всем привет
[16:15] <nit-wit> Id10T, no problem I can read that script quite well though so if you run it, and pastebin all the text we can probably get farther, if you like.
[16:15] <edbian> vpark: Sounds like your DHCP server is not doing something right
[16:16] <anddam> how are kernel images' packages named?
[16:16] <vpark>  edbian: u mean LAN port?

[16:18] <nit-wit> Id10T, sorry I mixed you up with them.;) I need some more caffeine.
[16:19] <Id10T> nit-wit, its all good, its still early on my end
[16:20] <vpark>  edbian:Extreamly sorry. Thank u very much friend!  May I know why using short words is considered wrong here?
[16:20] <Id10T> alright this time I'm really gone, bye all
[16:20] <edbian> vpark: ?  Using short words is fine.  You have trouble understanding what I'm saying.
[16:21] <vpark> edbian : especially when there are people like me with slow typing speed?
[16:22] <squirming_coil24> why dont you take a typing class?
[16:22] <edbian> vpark: ?  It doesn't matter if you type slow or use short words or don't know anything about computers.  It does matter if you can't understand what others are saying to you.
[16:22] <squirmy> what instance of computing/communication are u speaking of?
[16:23] <squirmy> what "doesn't matter"

[17:02] <boomboom> What is the best ubuntu for an ASUS Eee PC?
[17:02] <ibrahim> Hi
[17:02] <Dimka> помогите, в wine тормозит курсор. Причем чем меньше FPS тем сильней. В windows курсор не зависит от FPS. Игра: Emperor - Battle for Dune.
 yes evrything worked perfect before upgrade
[17:03] <pompom> Thanks FiremanEd.
[17:03] <rww> !ru | Dimka
[17:03] <FiremanEd> boomboom: I use 11.04 on my eee with no problems.  All preference on your part.
[17:03] <boomboom> I got 10.04 on mine now, I was just wondering if there was a better one.
[17:04] <acovrig> how do I use multiple drives with lightscribe SimpleLabler?
[17:04] <agrundner> boomboom: better how?
[17:05] <Dimka> help, in the wine lag the cursor. And the less FPS the stronger. In windows the cursor does not depend on the FPS. Game: Emperor:Battle for Dune.

[17:09] <HelloWorld321> Is it normal for /etc/odbc.ini to be 0 bytes on a new ubuntu installation?  (I think I just trashed my /etc/odbc.ini file ... )
[17:10] <jessie> hey
[17:10] <HelloWorld321> aha!  here's how I know I didn't trash my /etc/odbc.ini file ... because it's read-only because I'm not logged in as a super-user.  (phew).  So I didn't trash it.  It just is 0 bytes.
[17:11] <acovrig> Also, only my second DVD drive shows up, how do I fix this?

[17:31] <Name141> What are the differences in LibreOffice vs the OpenOffice ?  And why did Ubuntu start using it?
[17:31] <edbian> Name141: libreOffice is an open source community project.  Openoffice is controlled by oracle
[17:32] <edbian> The technical differences are many and minor
[17:32] <Name141> edbian: It looks and "Feels" the same to me.
[17:32] <edbian> Name141: Many distros switched to libreOffice because it is more free
[17:32] <edbian> Name141: libreOffice is a fork of openOffice.  Originally they were identical.  Now they are nearly identical
[17:33] <dougl> acovrig, man xlock = not ready for prime time and almost useless application - lol
[17:33] <Name141> edbian: sort of like Fedora vs Red Hat ? One is "more free" ?
[17:33] <livingdaylight> where is the refresh button on firefox?
[17:33]  * dougl reading man pages for xlock
[17:33] <edbian> Name141: Except Fedora is still controlled by the red hat corporation
[17:33] <wessel> Can someone take a look at this video: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2qlg49e&s=7 problems_with_certain_flash_videos_ubuntu_linux_11_04
[17:33] <Name141> oh
[17:33] <Name141> I didn't know that
[17:33] <Name141> but.. yeah
[17:33] <brown_fern> mizerydearia: Wouldn't that be Preferred Applications? With Ubuntu 11.4          universal power button>System Settings>Preferred Applications.
[17:33] <edbian> Name141: So that's not really a good analogy
[17:33] <Omega> edbian: It's not "more free" it's just more community-oriented.
[17:33] <wessel> I'm not sure how to call this problem, white boxes appearing in flash video's
[17:33] <edbian> Omega: which
[17:34] <edbian> ?
[17:34] <Omega> libreoffice
[17:34] <mizerydearia> brown_fern: I don't see it listed in Preferred Apps window.
[17:34] <Chris_H> Hi, is Ubuntu software center written PyGTK?
[17:34] <Name141> edbian/Omega: I'm not really seeing much one will do vs the other wont ?
[17:34] <Chris_H> I meant the GUI
[17:34] <Omega> Name141: They also fixed a few things like LO has better docx support
[17:34] <edbian> So people are free to make changes as they see fit.  More free than they were with openoffice (controlled by oracle)
[17:34] <Chris_H> The software seems to be written in Python
[17:34] <Chris_H> Just wondering btw
[17:35] <edbian> Name141: they are nearly identical at this point because the fork happend like 2 months ago
[17:35] <mizerydearia> The Multimedia tab only lists Multimedia Player which currently selected is Rhythmbox.  Again, when inserting a dvd disc, Gnome Media Player is started by default, so this is unrelated.
[17:35] <Omega> edbian: You're also free to make changes to openoffice
[17:35] <Omega> (which is why libreoffice is possible)
[17:35] <zulax> When i install desktop version of server, the wireless gets installed out of box, but not while i install minimum server
[17:35] <zulax> how do i install wireless on server from terminal
[17:35] <edbian> Omega: But oracle can deny those changes and they do deny them more often then the community (at least that's the idea)
[17:35] <edbian> I think we're actually agreeing here and just saying it differently :P
[17:36] <Omega> Yeah, I know we are.
[17:36] <edbian> hahah
[17:36] <Omega> edbian: Yep, Oracle can deny it, but not every mediocre-patch is going to get into libreoffice either.
[17:36] <acovrig> anyway to use 2 dvd drives at once independantly? bc I only detect 2
[17:36] <Name141> edbian/Omega: it looks like Libre also has a windows version.. I guess I could switch on all OS's if I really wanted. But is there an actual reason I'd want to replace Open Office that's already working and fine?
[17:37] <Chris_H> ANyone?
[17:37] <edbian> Name141: Both versions are open source so both versions work on all platforms that have a C compiler (pretty much all compilers)
[17:37] <mizerydearia> It appears the app is totem
[17:37] <edbian> (pretty  much all architectures have a C compiler)
[17:37] <Name141> edbian: OK, but any reason to go all Patriotic on Libre and boycot the OpenOffice?
[17:37] <Name141> patriotic.. (spelling)
[17:38] <edbian> Name141: Actually it's even more convoluted now because Oracle recently 'gave' openoffice to the community so now they're both pretty much the same in every way except branding
[17:38] <Omega> But it's too late now.
[17:38] <Chris_H> Name141: Simple, OpenOffice = Orcle + Free Software
[17:38] <Chris_H> LibreOffice = Free software
[17:39] <edbian> Name141: My advice is to not fix what isn't broke.  Leave openOffice on the machines that have it until you have a problem there
[17:39] <edbian> Name141: Leave libreOffice on those machines.  They're completely compaitable anyway
[17:39] <Omega> Name141: It's not patriosm, there were valid concerns with how Oracle were handling their open source projects.
[17:40] <Omega> Libreoffice also has more features currently, and is being developed at a faster pace
[17:40] <edbian> Name141: I can guess you can switch if you have a problem with anonymous community members vs. anonymous oracle employees
[17:40] <Omega> (a lot of said community members were oracle employees)
[17:41] <Hilikus> since i updated to 11.04 video playback in my browser is weird, there's flickering of like white squared on top of the video usually at the bottom
[17:41] <Hilikus> anyone know what is it?
[17:41] <Name141> I'll make the switch sometime then.
[17:41] <edbian> Name141: :)  Glad we could help
[17:41] <Omega> Name141: http://www.documentfoundation.org/faq/
[17:41] <Hilikus> i think it's with flash  only
[17:42] <brown_fern> mizerydearia: it's totem then you say? That is good to know, I'm still finding my way around Ubuntu 11.4.

[17:44] <Semtex> hey guys does anyone know why I cant access http://ppa.launchpad.net/lucid-bleed/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources ?
[17:45] <Semtex> the update thing keeps moaning about it
[17:45] <Semtex> not sure if its me or the server
[17:46] <nit-wit> THE_GFR|WORK, I think it is just "who" in the terminal, not sure really.
[17:46] <THE_GFR|WORK> nit-wit ok
[17:46] <candrea> Semtex, it seems that the PPA doesn't support natty
[17:46] <mizerydearia> brown_fern: or http://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_make_VLC_the_default_player#GNOME
[17:46] <candrea> Semtex, they support just lucid
[17:46] <THE_GFR|WORK> thanks
[17:47] <Semtex> so how am I ment to get updates again?
[17:47] <Semtex> thanks for the reply candrea btw
[17:47] <candrea> Semtex, the best thing you should do is contacting the ppa owner and request packages for natty
[17:48] <candrea> Semtex, else, you can just use the lucid packages
[17:48] <candrea> Semtex, but you may find some dependency problems
[17:48] <brown_fern> mizerydearia: thank you for the links, I'm looking them over now...

[17:50] <coilbucker> Is it possible to move the X button to the top right of the window?
[17:50] <kodapa> hej
[17:50] <candrea> Semtex, I see that this PPA contains just backports, so are you sure you need them?
[17:50] <Semtex> I'm not sure
[17:50] <Semtex> I dont think so
[17:50] <candrea> Semtex, then you can safely remove the PPA
[17:51] <Semtex> ok thanks I'll give that a go
[17:51] <THE_GFR|WORK> I need to see a log of all remote desktop connections ideas?
[17:51] <candrea> Semtex, if you need help removing it, just ask :-)

[18:36] <Jordan_U> Ddpbf: ?

[18:39] <HelloWorld321> Anybody have any tips or links for installing ODBC on Natty?  All the stuff I get out of Google is old, and (to me) cryptic, because it assumes I know driver file and pathnames.
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> Ddpbf: will it only run the unity bar though, or will gnome desktop load with it?
[18:39] <druciferre> on ubuntu server I am seeing my auth log flooded with this:     CRON[25305]: pam_unix(cron:session): could not identify user (from getpwnam(guest))
[18:40] <Ddpbf> ActionParsnip: unity 2d is shell as far as i know
[18:40] <Ddpbf> it is not part of gnome desktop
[18:40] <druciferre> unity is a replacement for nautilus
[18:40] <Ddpbf> it si akin to plasma-desktop in kde or gnome-shell
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> james41855: find guides online for changing the password and enter nothing as the new password. Not even a space
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Ddpbf: if i understand right, will it replace openbox?
[18:41] <Ddpbf> openbox is window manager
[18:42] <Ddpbf> like kwin or metacity or compiz
[18:42] <Ddpbf> i dont think it will replace ob
[18:42] <druciferre> metacity and compiz are window managers not shells
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Ddpbf: ahhhh yes yes. I gotcha now. Cheers dude :-)

[18:44] <philsturgeon> hey guys. trying to get rails 3 on ubuntu 11.04. ive installed rails 3.0.7 via gem install, but the old 2.3.5 bundled is still being used
[18:44] <mrdeb> what is rails
[18:44] <philsturgeon> rails -v shows me 2.3.5, even though 3.0.7 is installed
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> Mrdeb: a coding language
[18:44] <philsturgeon> mrdeb: if you dont know what rails is then you probably arent in a condition to help :)
[18:45] <philsturgeon> well, its a Ruby web development framework
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> philsturgeon: same difference ;-)
[18:46] <bttf> i am running an ubuntu live cd on my friends machine, whose hard drive has failed... is ubuntu running off the RAM right now ?
[18:46] <philsturgeon> ActionParsnip: not to argue semantics. :) just need some help in getting rails recognised as the default installation
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> philsturgeon: is there an update-alternatives command to point to the new?
[18:47] <philsturgeon> ActionParsnip: not sure what that is
[18:47] <nit-wit> bttf, yes but the cd is the hd so to spesk.
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Bttf: liveCd always runs in RAM
[18:47] <bttf> i see
[18:47] <nit-wit> *speak
[18:47] <philsturgeon> its been years since i've seriously used an ubuntu box, been on mac for a while
[18:47] <bttf> oh
[18:47] <gape> ActionParsnip: Sorry but the link is only about commercial movie dvds, i'm talking about data-dvds so i can install software from it, any help? (i was asking about mounting dvds as nothing except ubuntu install dvd gets recognized)
[18:47] <bttf> if the hdd has failed, is there any reason why the internet wouldn't be able to connect ?
[18:48] <xhhj> philsturgeon you could manually link the binary to /bin if you know where the new version of rails is installed
[18:48] <philsturgeon> xhhj: thats where im at at the moment, but wondering if it can be done smoother
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Bttf: web access in livecd and failed hdd are not related
[18:48] <bttf> ok
[18:49] <nit-wit> bttf, if the computer needs a driver to use the wireless card that may be2hats up.
[18:49] <littlebearz> ActionParsnip: wouldn't the corrupted network portion of the hdd be affecting the internet access?
[18:49] <philsturgeon> xhhj: which rails = /usr/bin/rails, moved that and now it says uninstalled and suggests i try apt-get install
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Bttf: you need to configure networking in the live OS
[18:49] <nit-wit> littlebearz, on a live cd the hd is not used
[18:49] <littlebearz> ActionParsnip: oh nvm, it's a livecd
[18:50] <bttf> but it is detecting access points... so the driver must be working right ?
[18:50] <sklorpion> hello, any1 wine spec? i m trying to run Lineage2  and i have problems, l2/ini is not HRF so i cant edit it
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> littlebearz: exactly ;-)
[18:50] <xhhj> philsturgeon try using synaptic to uninstall both versions and reinstall the latest one
[18:50] <nit-wit> bttf, run lspci in a terminal and post the wireless card.
[18:50] <philsturgeon> ahh think i had one installed via apt-get and another as a gem
[18:51] <philsturgeon> killing off everything
[18:51] <bttf> nit-wit i dont see it..
[18:52] <xhhj> does anyone know why jabber is the only im protocol for empathy?
[18:52] <philsturgeon> thanks guys, got it!
[18:52] <littlebearz> xhhj: free and opensourced?
[18:52] <xhhj> yesh, but what happened to yahoo and msn and the other protocols?
