[09:59] <icarus-c> xbonesx, you are willing to WIPE the who usb drive right?
[10:00] <lilpod> where is #apt?
[10:00] <xbonesx> icarus-c: yesir
[10:00] <icarus-c> xbonesx, " dd if=/dev/zero  of=/dev/sdb "   would clean things up
[10:02] <AdvoWork> icarus-c, any suggestions then?
[10:02] <icarus-c> xbonesx, just a bit of explanation,  that dd command will get input from /dev/zero  (which is 00000000) and write to /dev/sdb
[10:03] <icarus-c> AdvoWork, then it should have mounted to /media/  or  ~/.gvfs  i guess
[10:04] <flixil> In gnome, when changing the keyboard to czech (I use the keyboard applet), pressing ' + t writes absolutely nothing, instead of the expected czech ť (one character). How can this behavior be changed?
[10:04] <MasterofPuppets> Hey guys, trying to get wpa_supplicant to run but I get this message. http://pastebin.com/6tFuEF4i the only problem is I run rmdir /var/run/wpa_supplicant and it still gives me that message. Help?
[10:07] <ChrisBuchholz> Hey, i'm setting up af 10.04 server, and have installed and configured a lamp stack. Now i need some ftp access. Can you recommend any resources for this?
[10:07] <xbonesx> icarus-c: WOW my computer just tweaked out... the temp on the video card shot up too 75C + and then my GUI started freezing up and then i could hear my hdd going nuts, like it was transferring millions of files BIG WTF????
[10:07] <xbonesx> icarus-c: had to hard crach it, now the temp is kicking back down at about 62C
[10:07] <xbonesx> to about*
[10:08]  * xbonesx is weirded out big time
[10:11] <xbonesx> icarus-c: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503110/
[10:12] <xbonesx> HELLO HELlo Hello hello.....
[10:15] <xbonesx> HELLO HELlo Hello hello.....
[10:16] <rww> no.
[10:16] <xbonesx> rww: did you read the message i sent to icarus-c?
[10:16] <xbonesx> WOW my computer just tweaked out... the temp on the video card shot up too 75C + and then my GUI started freezing up and then i could hear my hdd going nuts, like it was transferring millions of files BIG WTF????
[10:17] <ikonia> xbonesx: please control your langauge
[10:18] <xbonesx> ikonia: i guess even when you abbreviate things its still considered cursing LMAO
[10:18] <ikonia> I'm not laughing
[10:18] <rww> xbonesx: yes, it is
[10:18] <xbonesx> ikonia: sry i was taking an honest mistake on my behalf and trying to ease the situation, sorry :(
[10:19] <xbonesx> ikonia: was very freaked out by what just happened with my $1600 pc
[10:19] <pozic> xbonesx: 75 degrees is normal and you may have been hacked, but it's impossible to tell in general.
[10:19] <vic20gmr> how do i execute "game data packager" its for prboom
[10:19] <pozic> xbonesx: most likely it is an unintended consequence of something in your configuration.
[10:19] <ikonia> xbonesx: it's not really an ubuntu issue though
[10:20] <vic20gmr> to all: how do i execute "game data packager" its for prboom
[10:20] <xbonesx> pozic: very weird i have never seen my card at idle hit higher than 60C
[10:21] <xbonesx> icarus-c: you their?
[10:21] <xbonesx> icarus-c: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503110/
[10:21] <icarus-c> xbonesx, i just back
[10:22] <icarus-c> xbonesx, you have nuked /dev/sdb ?
[10:22] <xbonesx> read the log^^^
[10:22] <xbonesx> no not yet
[10:22] <pozic> xbonesx: they can get until 110 without problems.
[10:22] <xbonesx> i got scolded while you were gone too, honest mistake
[10:23] <ikonia> xbonesx: why are you bringing that up
[10:23] <xbonesx> pozic: thanks for the tip, its a 8600m gt card too
[10:23] <ikonia> xbonesx: this is a support channel, you apologised for your mistake, why make a bigger deal out of it
[10:23] <xbonesx> ikonia: was informing him...
[10:23] <pozic> xbonesx: and then there is a cerfified temperature safety on it.
[10:23] <ikonia> xbonesx: why did he need to know ?
[10:23] <xbonesx> no probe intended
[10:23] <pozic> xbonesx: so... nothing to worry about.
[10:24] <pozic> xbonesx: if you want to make your machine 'faster' disable all indexing services.
[10:24] <pozic> xbonesx: e.g. things like locate, etc.
[10:24] <pozic> xbonesx: if you don't know what I am talking about, just run the program called top in the terminal.
[10:25] <xbonesx> ikonia: its dropped sry... i just have a very open-mined brain and found some king of humor in the abbreviation thing, i am sorry tho
[10:25] <arfoll> in gnome-terminal in ubuntu 10.10 why is every new terminal I open start at / and not the previous location?
[10:25] <pozic> xbonesx: then you see what is using your cpu.
[10:25] <xbonesx> kind*
[10:25] <xbonesx> pozic: ty
[10:25] <xbonesx> pozic: hope i dont run into that again
[10:26] <xbonesx> icarus-c: btw i posted a link of the output of running fdisk, so how should i run the dd command for it?
[10:26] <xbonesx> icarus-c: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503110/
[10:27] <pozic> xbonesx: you don't hope. You act and change your configuration if you want.
[10:28] <pozic> xbonesx: read a book about Linux if you want to use it more effectively.
[10:28] <xbonesx> pozic: i dont see why i would have had this problem, i have not touched any important system files
[10:28] <pozic> xbonesx: by default it builds a locate database.
[10:29] <xbonesx> i have a decent setup for a pc as well
[10:29] <pozic> xbonesx: how do you think the locate command works?
[10:29] <ch0s3n> whats your setup xbonesx
[10:29] <pozic> xbonesx: it doesn't work by magic.
[10:29] <xbonesx> right i understand that but i belive my pc is more than capable of handling such things
[10:29] <pozic> xbonesx: it might be that you just paid a lot and got crap.
[10:30] <arfoll> xbonesx, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[10:30] <Inferus> anyone here big on cups?
[10:30] <pozic> Inferus: if it doesn't work automatically, it probably doesn't work ;)
[10:30] <xbonesx> dual core 2.5 6mb cache, 4gb ram, 256mb vid card, 1920x1200 hidef, 320 WD freefall sensor, 1505 wireless,
[10:30] <Inferus> i've added a printer and shared it, now in windows when i look at it i get "The '' Printer driver is not installed on this computer"
[10:30] <pozic> xbonesx: or maybe it is a bug.
[10:31] <Inferus> pozic ^
[10:31] <pozic> xbonesx: I agree that it should not happen.
[10:31] <arfoll> xbonesx, so it's a laptop?
[10:31] <xbonesx> yesir
[10:31] <arfoll> what brand?
[10:31] <xbonesx> not bad specs for a lappy
[10:31] <pozic> xbonesx: or maybe your idea of unresponsive is different from mine.
[10:31] <arfoll> and model, there may be a bug in powersaving or other
[10:32] <xbonesx> pozic: like literally i had a mouse that moved in intervals of every three seconds
[10:32] <pozic> xbonesx: if there is a real problem document everything about it.
[10:32] <ch0s3n> iwanna build a new rig i have a quad core 2.4 4 gigs ram nvidia geforce 9300 gs 256 mb with dual monitor one 24 one 37 inch
[10:32] <pozic> xbonesx: I have never had that problem before.
[10:32] <xbonesx> dell xps m1530
[10:32] <ch0s3n> i just want a better graphics card and maybe 8 gigs ram
[10:32] <arfoll> ch0s3n, sounds like my rig, but why a 37" thats a TV, so res sucks
[10:33] <ch0s3n> its a hdty lcd resolutions fiine for movies
[10:33] <ikonia> ch0s3n: how is that anything to do with #ubuntu ?
[10:33] <symtab> hi
[10:33] <ch0s3n> i guess it would be better in off topic but i wanted to ask xbonesx
[10:33] <symtab> evolution doesnt load anymore (it stops at loading the Folders)
[10:33] <symtab> any ideas how i can fix this? or a way to get more debugging information?
[10:33] <xbonesx> ch0s3n: true
[10:34] <arfoll> xbonesx, have you tried benchmarking your disk IO performance to see if it's way off?
[10:34] <xbonesx> back to my issue tho, i need to completely wipe my flashdrive of hidden partitions...
[10:34] <xbonesx> arfoll: compiz can do that right?
[10:34] <ikonia> xbonesx: just use fdisk and delete the partitions
[10:35] <oCean> !afk > Weust`
[10:35] <arfoll> xbonesx, compiz? no
[10:35] <arfoll> xbonesx, use iotop
[10:36] <arfoll> it'll give you a rought idea of what's using your disk, then check with hdparm for raw disk perf
[10:36] <xbonesx> ikonia: i was told to use the "dd" but i wanted to make sure i was doing this right, this is the output of fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/503110/
[10:36] <ikonia> xbonesx: which is your usb disk ?
[10:36] <xbonesx> arfoll: is that a GUI program?
[10:36] <symtab> hmm
[10:36] <ikonia> xbonesx: sdb ?
[10:36] <symtab> seems like the folders cant be loaded
[10:36] <arfoll> xbonesx, no terminal
[10:36] <symtab> any way to fix this?
[10:36] <xbonesx> ikonia: the 2000mb one...
[10:36] <symtab> without losing all my emails
[10:37] <AbhiJit> hi
[10:37] <ikonia> xbonesx: sudo fdisk /deb/sdb then press "d" then press "w"
[10:37] <symtab> i knew it...i said lets try evolution...thunderbird never crashed
[10:37] <ikonia> xbonesx: that will delete the 1 partition on the disk
[10:37] <arfoll> s/no/no,
[10:37] <xbonesx> ikonia: it has a hidden one tho, so it technically has two on it
[10:37] <ikonia> xbonesx: no it doesn't
[10:37] <arfoll> xbonesx, have you looked at gparted GUIs rock when it comes to partition management
[10:37] <blackdoggy> hey there is anybdy using realtek ALC262 with ALSA and using microphone??
[10:37] <ikonia> xbonesx: it has 1 partition
[10:38] <xbonesx> ikonia: the program i used said that it created a hidden partition that is detected by anitvirus on windows 7, which it did...
[10:38] <ikonia> xbonesx: there is no hidden partition
[10:38] <arfoll> xbonesx, maybe you mean the master boot sector?
[10:38] <ikonia> xbonesx: delete the partition as I told you
[10:39] <icarus-c> ikonia, sounds like something put something on a sector somewhere
[10:39] <icarus-c> ikonia, just let him nuke it
[10:39] <xbonesx> arfoll: yes
[10:39] <symtab> anyone...any ideas?
[10:39] <icarus-c> let him nuke the whole thing
[10:39] <ikonia> icarus-c: fine xbonesx "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb"
[10:39] <ikonia> icarus-c: fine xbonesx "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512k"
[10:39] <ikonia> xbonesx: see above
[10:39] <ikonia> waste your time
[10:40] <arfoll> ikonia, wasting is time would be /dev/urandom
[10:40] <ikonia> ha
[10:40] <rww> psh, urandom. Real time-wasting pros use /dev/random.
[10:40] <AbhiJit> hi
[10:40] <rww> also, TrueCrypt hidden partitions don't show up on fdisk. Not saying that has any application to this issue, but still.
[10:40] <icarus-c> rww, nah... usb drive write speed is way slower than it takes to generate random numbers
[10:41] <rww> icarus-c: not in my experience, it isn't
[10:41] <icarus-c> :-o
[10:41] <rww> /dev/random runs out of entropy pretty quickly if you abuse it like that.
[10:41] <pozic> xbonesx: that happens btw, if you are using some program that uses more memory than you have RAM.
[10:41] <arfoll> yeah urandom is better for silly dd writes
[10:41] <xbonesx> ikonia: here is for more reference to this issue, i used this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/
[10:41] <icarus-c> rww, lol i thought you meath urandom in the first place
[10:42] <babai> I'm currently running maverick beta, when the final releases, would a sudo apt-get upgrade convert my beta to the final?
[10:42] <pozic> xbonesx: a simple way to solve that is to put a userlimit.
[10:42] <rww> babai: yes
[10:42] <ikonia> xbonesx: I have given you the command to totally wipe the drive, please follow that
[10:42] <babai> rwat: ok thanks!
[10:42] <pozic> xbonesx: e.g. if more than 3.5GB is in use, you just kill whatever is using a lot.
[10:42] <pozic> xbonesx: you being the OS.
[10:42] <rww> (what's the factoid for "if you've been updating the development version, you don't need to reinstall for final?"
[10:42] <rww> )
[10:42] <pozic> !squeeze
[10:42] <xbonesx> ikonia: what things will i need to do after that to get it running properly again?
[10:43] <arfoll> xbonesx, partition it and format it
[10:43] <xbonesx> ikonia: considering it wipes it completely
[10:43] <ikonia> xbonesx: follow the guide you've just linked to
[10:44] <xbonesx> "Some antivirus utilities (Nod32) may detect a Boot Sector Virus on the fbinst partitioned USB Drive due to the fact that fbinst.exe installs a hidden sector for storing grldr and fb.cfg menu." <--- this is what i was talking about BTW
[10:44] <ikonia> xbonesx: that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:44] <xbonesx> ikoni: i understand this but that is what i was trying to wipe
[10:45] <ikonia> xbonesx: ok, so I've told you how to wipe it
[10:45] <martez89> hi, my internal laptop speaker doesnt work, external speakers do work. how can i fix this?
[10:45] <rww> sector != partition, btw.
[10:45] <ikonia> rww: I've given up arguing that
[10:45] <xbonesx> ikonia: much appreciated :)
[10:45] <martez89> im on a acer aspire 5542 btw
[10:46] <glebihan> martez89: have you checked alsa-mixer ?
[10:46] <glaucous> Have anyone here tried disabling journaling in ext4 (or ext3)? Does it increase the chance of data-loss a lot?
[10:46] <ikonia> glaucous: not really, but it removes the possability of recovery
[10:46] <glebihan> s/alsa-mixer/alsamixer
[10:46] <icarus-c> glaucous, not really. but it makes disk check much slower
[10:46] <martez89> glebihan, i have not checked that
[10:47] <glebihan> martez89: run alsamixer in terminal and check if your internal speaker is not muted
[10:47] <glaucous> icarus-c, ikonia, okay I'm planning on buying a SSD, where people recommended disabling journaling
[10:47] <icarus-c> xbonesx, look...  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb  would fill   sdb with<PHONE_NUMBER>
[10:47] <icarus-c> xbonesx, nothing will left
[10:47] <icarus-c> xbonesx, not even the partition table
[10:48] <xbonesx> ikonia:sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb or sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512k which one then?
[10:48] <martez89> glebihan, how do i do that?
[10:48] <martez89> alt-f2?
[10:48] <glebihan> martez89: no, open a terminal
[10:48] <icarus-c> glaucous, i have a feeling disabling journal cost more drawback than it helps reduce that slight disk IO
[10:48] <ikonia> xbonesx: second
[10:49] <glebihan> martez89: well you can open the terminal with Alt+F2, then typing "gnome-terminal"
[10:49] <xbonesx> ok
[10:49] <martez89> I got some kind of application when i launched it in terminal via alt=F2
[10:50] <xbonesx> sometimes non-GUI type stuff spooks me
[10:50] <glaucous> icarus-c, how come? A few benchmarks I read did show better performance at least, although I doubt it noticeable
[10:50] <Sprockets2000> Hello, how can you tell which device is the one to write the MBR to when trying to fix your windows bootloader
[10:50] <icarus-c> glaucous, it helps better do stuff like  mount file system with "noatime",   increase "commit" time a bit,  increase vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs,  lower vm.swappiness ...etc
[10:50] <greppy> ctrl-alt t will also open a terminal in gnome.
[10:50] <Sprockets2000> I was trying to do some things and screwed up grub
[10:50] <Sprockets2000> Or can I easily rebuild grub?
[10:51] <xbonesx> ikonia: when running this for 2gb, should it take very long?
[10:51] <martez89> glebihan, i don't think internal speaker is muted
[10:51] <ikonia> xbonesx: yes
[10:51] <icarus-c> glaucous, well, if you use data=writeback  option even with journal, it should get similar performance from benchmark
[10:51] <dwarder> i've removed login name from top pannel by eccident
[10:51] <dwarder> how can i restore it
[10:51] <sddfdgsds> nanuu
[10:51] <icarus-c> glaucous, after all, benchmark is way beyond general usage
[10:52] <glaucous> icarus-c, read about it yesterday, although I don't remember exactly all of it. What does noatime and data=writeback do?
[10:52] <icarus-c> glaucous, you may also put  web browser cache to  /dev/shm  (ram disk)  to reduce disk IO
[10:52] <glaucous> icarus-c, yup, did that already
[10:52] <BitTorment> I'm getting the exact same problem as described here: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1573054
[10:52] <BitTorment> can someone suggest how I recover from a failed kernel update
[10:53] <icarus-c> glaucous, without noatime,  ubuntu default to  relatime (if i remember correctly).  atime is access time, which by default get updated (hence a write operation) when you read a file
[10:53] <BitTorment> that is causing ubuntu to freeze at the login screen
[10:53] <ikonia> BitTorment: on the grub menu select the older kernel
[10:53] <icarus-c> glaucous, noatime disable writing atime info when you read
[10:53] <Legend_Xeon> My ip is listed on www.spamhaus.org. Wat can be the reasons ?
[10:53] <glaucous> icarus-c, great, makes sense to turn it off
[10:53] <BitTorment> ikonia, same thing with the older kernels too
[10:53] <martez89> shoulk i use analog stereo duplex?
[10:53] <rww> !ot | Legend_Xeon
[10:54] <ikonia> BitTorment: then you probably have a hardware issue
[10:54] <BitTorment> ikonia, I've already run a fsck on the drive and fixed any errors there
[10:54] <icarus-c> Legend_Xeon,  most often all dynamic ip is on the list. but you could request to remove your IP
[10:54] <glaucous> icarus-c, but when do I ever need to know the access time? I might as well turn it off on all drives as far as I see it?
[10:54] <rww> glaucous: some mail clients use it, hence relatime being default instead of noatime.
[10:54] <BitTorment> is there any way to rerun the update from a live disc?
[10:54] <rww> there's not much difference performance-wise between relatime and noatime, so I'd just leave it.
[10:54] <icarus-c> glaucous, and read  "man mount" for data={journal|ordered|writeback}
[10:55] <ikonia> BitTorment: if the old kernel is failing to, it's not the update
[10:55] <glaucous> rww, okay I see
[10:55] <AdvoWork> icarus-c, you were spot on with the .gvfs.. if i goto that directory i can attach network locations. Any way I can map a drive within there to the desktop?
[10:55] <icarus-c> glaucous, well, if you have noatime,  "last access time" information won't be useful anymore :)
[10:55] <icarus-c> glaucous, personally i use noatime for / (rootfs) and relatime for /home
[10:55] <BitTorment> ikonia, it was working 100% before the update though; and the update was interrupted
[10:56] <glaucous> icarus-c, sure I understand that, but I don't think I've ever needed that information
[10:56] <icarus-c> AdvoWork, simply make a link
[10:56] <glaucous> icarus-c, because I'll still have "modified/write time"?
[10:56] <icarus-c> glaucous, yes sir :)
[10:56] <xbonesx> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503135/
[10:56] <BitTorment> ikonia, sorry, got dced
[10:57] <xbonesx> ikonia: that was the output, all look good?
[10:57] <icarus-c> glaucous, but note that a few program that rely on atime doesn't work with noatime . namely  matt email client
[10:57] <ikonia> xbonesx: all done
[10:57] <glaucous> icarus-c, alright, I'll keep it only on /
[10:57] <icarus-c> glaucous, have you read about data=writeback ?
[10:57] <ikonia> BitTorment: no problem, if the old kernel is not working, it's not the kernel update thats the problem
[10:57] <xbonesx> ikonia: thanks again, and sorry for the conflict earlier, try to mind my self more next... :)
[10:57] <xbonesx> next time*
[10:58] <BitTorment> what do you make of "info: recovery required on readonly filesystem" in the boot logs
[10:58] <ikonia> BitTorment: it means the file system has an error on it, so it got mounted read only
[10:59] <glaucous> icarus-c, yes, I did, doesn't say a lot though.
[10:59] <glaucous> icarus-c, data ordering, I guess that's to avoid fragmentation?
[10:59] <glaucous> icarus-c, at least that's my first guess
[10:59] <Sprockets2000> If you deleted your linux partition how can you fix grub to allow you to boot into windows, or alternativley just reinstall the mbr for windows ive tried using ms-sys doesnt seem to be working
[10:59] <icarus-c> glaucous, by default  it uses data=ordered. which update journal & write data to disk  when you write something to disk.   with data=writeback,   it only update journal first when you write something,  the actual data will be written later
[11:00] <Sprockets2000> Also would it be a big deal if I write the mBR to a partition that isnt where the MBR goes
[11:00] <icarus-c> glaucous, (the actual data will be stored in ram temprorarly)
[11:00] <xbonesx> ikonia: so now im creating a partition table, default is msdos ( i would like to be able to use the device on windows OS as well) should i leave it too default?
[11:00] <jrib> Sprockets2000: ##windows can help you reinstall the windows mbr
[11:00] <icarus-c> Sprockets2000, that will make that MBR loses the point of ever existing
[11:01] <ikonia> the partition type "msdos" only means the msdos partition table style, so it's fine for both, the file system determains what OS's can use it
[11:01] <xbonesx> ikonia: ok TY
[11:02] <erUSUL> Sprockets2000: use a windows instalation disk. boot into windows recovery mode. run « fixmbr »
[11:02] <glaucous> icarus-c, when exactly is "be written later"?
[11:03] <icarus-c> glaucous, i forgot which option/setting specify that
[11:03] <glaucous> icarus-c, okay, no worries
[11:03] <icarus-c> glaucous, besides, with a SSD drive, you may want to use  "noop" or "deadline" IO scheduler instead of "cfq"
[11:04] <glaucous> icarus-c, oh right, I read about that too. never heard an explanation why though
[11:04] <icarus-c> glaucous, you know ncq?
[11:04] <icarus-c> glaucous, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCQ
[11:04] <glaucous> icarus-c, yup
[11:05] <icarus-c> glaucous, cfq behaves like that, it optimizes IO sequence by its disk location. so to read/write most in a single disk rotation
[11:05] <st__> i know in early days you had not to install grub in MBR, can grub 2 be similar?
[11:05] <vasez> is there a package that can read .epub a friend emailed me one and said it's like a pdf
[11:05] <glaucous> icarus-c, which is pretty much useless on SSD
[11:05] <icarus-c> glaucous, but with SSD, that clever hack has no point
[11:05] <pzn> which file can I use to "trigger" an event everytime that wlan0 "goes up"? I need to execute "route add" and "route del" rules based on which access point the card was connected
[11:06] <glaucous> icarus-c, so what do you recommend, noop or deadline?
[11:06] <icarus-c> glaucous, exactly. it add extra overhead and latency apparently.   so simple scheduler like noop or deadline helps better
[11:06] <st__> and is there a way to override files in packed ubuntu image on livecd?
[11:06] <icarus-c> glaucous, afaik, noop does no queue merging. while deadline does.
[11:06] <icarus-c> glaucous, and i don't know which one is faster for SSD
[11:06] <icarus-c> but they both should be good
[11:07] <erUSUL> pzn: /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d/  ?
[11:07] <imaginois> vasez type epub in ubuntu software center and the program you need is called e-book reader
[11:07] <icarus-c> glaucous, some recommend noop, some say deadline
[11:07] <glaucous> icarus-c, okay I see
[11:07] <vasez> imaginois: Thank you
[11:07] <icarus-c> glaucous, a good article to optimize for SSD   http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSD
[11:08] <glaucous> icarus-c, great thansk
[11:08] <glaucous> icarus-c, by the way, a somewhat related question. Is it possible to mount drives by ID instead of sda/sdb etc? When changing HDDs that sometimes is annoying
[11:08] <icarus-c> glaucous, yes, UUID
[11:08] <glaucous> icarus-c, and that's what / is right now I believe
[11:08] <pzn> erUSUL, where can I find "manpage" about this? I need to know the environment variables that the scripts are called
[11:08] <erUSUL> glaucous: ubuntu have been using uuid  many years
[11:09] <icarus-c> glaucous, use  "UUID=XXXXXXXXXXX"  instead of "/dev/sdXy"  in /etc/fstab and grub
[11:09] <icarus-c> glaucous, you could get the UUID of a file system by blkid
[11:09] <glaucous> icarus-c, how do I get the UUID of the partition?
[11:09] <glaucous> icarus-c, ah okay, looking into it
[11:10] <erUSUL> pzn: man interfaces
[11:10] <erUSUL> !uuid | glaucous
[11:11] <pzn> erUSUL, thanks! all ok now
[11:11] <gmalex> How can i use multimedia buttons (play/stop/volume control) on my Hp Pavilion dv2500 laptop with Ubuntu 10.4?
[11:11] <glaucous> erUSUL, now that was much easier to read then "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid"
[11:13] <genupulas> guys i need help ...i need to findout  the what are the last program's executed in my PC
[11:13] <glebihan> gmalex: you should be able to configure that in System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts
[11:13] <genupulas> i mean that what are the vedio's and doc's like that
[11:14] <nogo> iostat?
[11:16] <genupulas>  guys i need help ...i need to findout  the what are the last program's executed in my PC i mean that what are the vedio's and doc's like that
[11:16] <BlaDe^> Hi guys I'm having this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/610440?comments=all ---- It's been problematic since 10.04beta and 10.10 beta
[11:17] <BlaDe^> on 9.10 it ran fine though
[11:17] <stoneMcClane> hi guys, I need to install libc6-dev-ppc64 on my x86 ubuntu installation, is there a packet repository that I could add or how would I go about this ?
[11:17] <nogo> genupulas: use top, powertop and iotop
[11:17] <icarus-c> genupulas, Desktop main menu -> Places -> Recent Documents
[11:17] <nogo> genupulas: and uninstall them when you are finished the tweaks
[11:17] <genupulas> icarus-c: its showing limited
[11:17] <nogo> s/are//
[11:18] <genupulas> nogo :explain me clearly plz
[11:18] <nogo> genupulas: they can explain themselves
[11:18] <icarus-c> gmalex, it should work out of the box, if isn't,  go System -> preferences -> Keyboard shortcut
[11:18] <genupulas> come again nogo
[11:19] <icarus-c> genupulas, i don't think there is a way to trace recently used program. but you could know recently used program that was run by command line
[11:19] <icarus-c> genupulas, "history" command shows that info
[11:20] <icarus-c> genupulas, but if you launch the program by GNOME (graphically), i don't know of a way :)
[11:20] <genupulas> ok   i will check them
[11:21] <Oculus> Hi, could anyone explain what could be possibly wrong with apache? The problem is that no matter what kind of requests I try, I only get Forbidden errors :(
[11:21] <AbhiJit> Oculus, try in #ubuntu-server
[11:21] <llutz> Oculus: #httpd
[11:22] <genupulas> icareus-c: its giving what are the commands executed
[11:22] <genupulas> icarus-c
[11:22] <genupulas> ; can u tell me abt "netcat"
[11:23] <genupulas> netcat
[11:23] <icarus-c> genupulas, man netcat  ?
[11:24] <genupulas> i did it already
[11:24] <icarus-c> "netcat is a simple unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol."
[11:24] <genupulas> i carus-c\
[11:24] <BitTorment> ikonia, fixed the problem by mounting and binding the drive and running dkpg-configure -a in a chroot
[11:24] <genupulas> ok
[11:25] <icarus-c> genupulas, hence, you could do stuff like send file over network, messaging with netcat
[11:25] <genupulas> thank you icarus-c
[11:25] <icarus-c> Oculus, apache's user got no access to documentroot ?
[11:26] <dwarder> in the top panel there was a thingy to change current user, i removed it, how can i return it back?
[11:26] <AbhiJit> !panels | dwarder
[11:26] <icarus-c> dwarder, right click at the panel -> Add to panel  -> User switcher
[11:27] <dwarder> AbhiJit: icarus-c: thank you
[11:27] <icarus-c> AbhiJit, you think that needs a reset to get it back....
[11:29] <zachary> hello?
[11:29] <icarus-c> !hi | zachary
[11:29] <zachary> hows everybody doin tonight?
[11:30] <nogo> babique
[11:30] <MM2> I updated my server from 8.04 to 10.04.1 and somehow my /boot-directory got empty. How I install necessarily files there?
[11:30] <MM2> needless to say that server won
[11:30] <MM2> t boot
[11:31] <tensorpudding> MM2: backups are nice
[11:31] <MM2> tensorpudding: backups are before upgrading
[11:31] <c3l> MM2: personally I always recommend to not do a version upgrade. rather back up and install a clean new system
[11:32] <c3l> MM2: youre running a server and you have no backups?
[11:32] <nogo> indeed. don't put anything useful on the ubuntu
[11:32] <tensorpudding> if the backups are pre-upgrade but recent, just wipe, reinstall from backups, and try upgrading again
[11:32] <MM2> c3l: I didn
[11:32] <MM2> c3l: i didnt say so
[11:33] <MM2> c3l:  i said that backups are done before upgrading
[11:33] <nogo> the 9.10 is about to end-of-life
[11:33] <icarus-c> MM2, /boot normally contains  kernel & grub
[11:33] <Gnea> !ltr
[11:34] <nogo> i can use my lts until 2013
[11:34] <c3l> MM2: that war quite pointless to say in that case. Im quite sure that tensorpudding understands that. but yes, there are often issues with upgrading to new versions. I recommend you to relinstall with a clean install and then put back your backed up data
[11:34] <Gnea> that's disturbing.
[11:34] <AbhiJit> !lts
[11:34] <Gnea> there it is
[11:34] <st__> and is there a way to override files in packed ubuntu image on livecd?
[11:34] <nogo> 3 years, very good! you can buy a new pc then
[11:35] <st__> MM2, boot from live-cd and install grub-pc in target
[11:35] <zachary> so whats the best linux for netbooks and stuff? i have the poulsbo chipset and alot of linux's hate it
[11:35] <AbhiJit> zachary, see distrowatch.org
[11:35] <st__> zachary, not ubuntu by far, too bloated
[11:35] <zachary> joli cloud works pretty good so far but im stuck in a bind
[11:35] <nogo> zachary: ubuntu
[11:35] <MM2> st__: how? And how to install kernels and initrds?
[11:36] <zachary> ubuntu hardly works on an acer
[11:36] <c3l> zachary: ubuntu works great on netbooks, you might want the ubuntu netbook remix
[11:36] <zachary> even the remix
[11:36] <nogo> zachary: ubuntu is an good alternative for redhat and mandrake in old good days
[11:36] <nogo> ubuntu = the flagship
[11:36] <c3l> zachary: really? thats strange, ubuntu supports a lot of HW. try debian
[11:36] <st__> MM2, install linux-image-server, it should trigger initrd creation
[11:36] <Gnea> st__: remix works just fine on my netbook
[11:36] <zachary> on my other computer ubuntu runs awesome
[11:37] <st__> MM2, use some livecd, bind /dev and /proc dirs, and chroot to your hd
[11:37] <zachary> but its just this damn acer aspire one...
[11:37] <zachary> it sucks
[11:37] <plitter> Hey, could anyone throw me in the right direction if i want to mount my nokia phone in ubuntu 10.04 over bluetooth?
[11:37] <nogo> fedora is relocating itself to a distro for moile devices, but it's doubtful
[11:37] <Inferus> anyone here good with CUPS? I have set up a printer and shared it to windows, now when I try to print to different trays on the printer it ignores my settings and simply prints to the bottom tray all the time
[11:37] <Gnea> zachary: did you try asking for help from the aspire one ubuntu support?
[11:37] <nogo> s/moile/mobile
[11:38] <zachary> yeah, but its the chipset or something in the aspire ones, they dont suppost open os's or something dumb
[11:38] <Gnea> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne
[11:38] <dwarder> does gui thingy for managing LAMP exist for ubuntu?
[11:38] <zachary> support*
[11:38] <Gnea> zachary: really?
[11:38] <MM2> st__: how I bind /dev and /proc ?
[11:38] <dwarder> !lamp
[11:39] <icarus-c> MM2, mount -o bind /dev  /somewhere/else
[11:39] <nogo> iirc, ubuntu has a hcl site
[11:39] <zachary> has anyone else tried joli cloud?
[11:40] <nogo> what's that?
[11:40] <nogo> ubuntu one is the future
[11:40] <nogo> cloud 2.0
[11:40] <zachary> cloud 2.0?!?
[11:40] <Gnea> lol, cloud computing
[11:40] <nogo> ha ha
[11:40] <Gnea> so lol
[11:40] <zachary> they have a 2.0???
[11:40] <nogo> there is web 2.0
[11:41] <zachary> i didnt want joli but its the only one that works decent so far
[11:41] <magnetron> all the best web sites are cloud 2.0
[11:41] <petsounds> i try jolicloud rc, but i don't like it the applications is not up to date
[11:41] <magnetron> some are even cloud 2.1
[11:41] <nogo> ha ha
[11:42] <zachary> anybody from washington?
[11:42] <nogo> the cloud 1.0 is somthing like webos or eyeos
[11:42] <reggi> Hey folks I have a problem with my network interface (eth0)
[11:42] <Sterist> anyone know where i can get some notice sounds for Xchat notification tones?
[11:43] <glaucous> icarus-c, does NTFS on Linux require and optimizations for SSD? NTFS on Windows can disable access time via regedit, but does that exist on Linux as well? Would like to share a few files on the SSD
[11:43] <tarzeau> glaucous: noatime exists for several filesystems on linux too
[11:43] <icarus-c> glaucous, if you use ntfs-3g,  mount it with noatime option :)
[11:43] <reggi> would someone please help me? When I look at my 'Network Connections - Wired" there is no more eth0. It has dissappeared.
[11:43] <MM2> icarus-c: chroot /mnt/root causes cannot run commaand '/bin/bash': Exec format error
[11:43] <tarzeau> reggi: gnome?
[11:44] <dwarder> !apache
[11:44] <reggi> yes tarzeau
[11:44] <tarzeau> mine also is gone, the whole gnome network manager
[11:44] <glaucous> taroven, icarus-c, didn't know it worked for multiple filesystems, thanks :)
[11:44] <tarzeau> reggi: yeah i got that problem too, since one or two weeks
[11:44] <reggi> when I check my /etc/network/interfaces file it has my eth0 set to dhcp.
[11:44] <icarus-c> MM2, sounds like you current OS and the one to chroot are different architecutre
[11:44] <icarus-c> MM2, like one  x86, and the other x86_64
[11:45] <dwarder> what is the best way to add site to apache in ubuntu? why there are this two dirs sites-available  sites-enabled
[11:45] <reggi> when I do a networking restart i get the following error messages, "postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
[11:45] <reggi> "
[11:45] <dwarder> ?
[11:45] <icarus-c> glaucous, ntfs-3g support atime too
[11:45] <icarus-c> glaucous, man page says it all
[11:45] <reggi> tarzeau, do you remember how you fixed your problem?
[11:45] <icarus-c> reggi, "No such file or directory"
[11:46] <glaucous> icarus-c, hm, the man page is really thorough indeed
[11:46] <icarus-c> glaucous, free software has nothing to hide :P
[11:46] <MM2> How to find out architecture?
[11:46] <Sterist> mm2 app called "sys info"
[11:46] <glaucous> icarus-c, very true :P
[11:47] <icarus-c> MM2, file /mnt/root/bin/bash # assuming /mnt/root is where your chroot is
[11:47] <reggi> hey icarus-c let me paste my output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503160/
[11:47] <Sterist> mm2 get it from the software center
[11:47] <icarus-c> MM2, and  uname -m  to see the architecture f your current OS
[11:47] <glaucous> by the way, do anyone know when LibreOffice is coming to the ubuntu repos?
[11:47] <nogo> MM2, type 'arch' in your console
[11:47] <tarzeau> reggi: no, i stilldidn't fix it :)
[11:47] <tarzeau> reggi: using the internet cable :)
[11:47] <icarus-c> MM2, note "file" and "uname -m" are commands above
[11:48] <killown> histo, how do I upgrade gnome to 2.32?
[11:48] <icarus-c> reggi, do you have postfix installed ?
[11:48] <icarus-c> reggi, likely you are missing /etc/postfix/main.cf
[11:48] <killown> *hi, how do I upgrade gnome to 2.32?*
[11:48] <reggi> hmm
[11:48] <icarus-c> killown, i don't think 2.32 is even released
[11:48] <reggi> oh icarus-c
[11:49] <reggi> icarus-c, what is postfix? do i need it?
[11:49] <killown> icarus-c http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/2010/09/29/gnome-2-32-is-out/
[11:49] <icarus-c> reggi, i don't know. that's what your message say
[11:49] <reggi> this is also the output of my ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/503161/
[11:49] <icarus-c> reggi, you know "postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory"
[11:49] <icarus-c> postfix is a email smtp server/client
[11:49] <killown> icarus-c, released today
[11:49] <Sterist> what is a "L2 cache"?
[11:49] <MM2> icarus-c: /mnt/root/bin/bash is -64 and live-architecheture is i868
[11:49] <reggi> icarus-c, hmm I don't need postfix i think.
[11:49] <MM2> icarus-c: so I must redo my bootusb
[11:49] <icarus-c> killown, that is way too new for ubuntu
[11:50] <icarus-c> i868..
[11:50] <dwarder> !Zentyal
[11:50] <killown> no
[11:50] <dwarder> !ebox
[11:50] <killown> its not new
[11:50] <MM2> i686 :D
[11:50] <icarus-c> MM2, but yea, you need a x86_64 live usb in that case
[11:50] <reggi> icarus-c, i'll remove postfix
[11:50] <oCean> !latest | killown
[11:50] <MM2> icarus-c: thank you a lot
[11:50] <icarus-c> reggi, um... but you message suggest you need postfi
[11:50] <reggi> oh crap
[11:50] <dwarder> ebox is Zentyal now?
[11:51] <plitter> Hey, could anyone throw me in the right direction if i want to mount my nokia phone in ubuntu 10.04 over bluetooth?
[11:51] <dwarder> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zentyal
[11:51] <dwarder> ?
[11:51] <killown> if I wanna to care with security so I should use debian.
[11:51] <icarus-c> killown, yes it is way too new.  it need to be well tweaked and tested before it is shipped by ubuntu
[11:51] <nogo> killown: debian stable?
[11:52] <killown> icarus-c, I am looking for a ppa
[11:52] <killown> I don't care with stable things..
[11:52] <icarus-c> killown, maybe ubuntu 10.10 ships it
[11:52] <c3l> killown: debial stable would be your absolutely best choice it stabiliti is the most important aspect, but you will not have the most up to date software
[11:52] <dwarder> anyone uses ebox?
[11:52] <nogo> dwarder: ebox = eeepc?
[11:53] <killown> c3l man, I am just saying I DON't CARE WITH STABLE OR SECURITY I will not use debian.
[11:53] <icarus-c> killown, i have a feeling that  Debian SID is what suit you
[11:53] <viddy> I think what he's trying to say, is that he doesnt care about stability or security.
[11:53] <icarus-c> or other rolling release distro
[11:53] <viddy> *captain obvious*
[11:53] <killown> I don't like debian
[11:53] <nogo> killown: the ubuntu's security is enough for me
[11:53] <oCean> killown: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9853858
[11:54] <c3l> killown: sorry.. you said that 2 seconds before I pressed enter, I might have a bit lag
[11:54] <icarus-c> killown, lol ubuntu is pretty much debian
[11:54] <c3l> icarus-c: depends on how you see it. theyre quite different too
[11:54] <icarus-c> c3l, well yes, in some aspect
[11:55] <nogo> killown: both debian and ubuntu's fonts suck. i don't care. i have my own elite fonts
[11:55] <dwarder> what is the best way to add site to apache in ubuntu? why there are this two dirs sites-available  sites-enabled
[11:55] <dwarder> site = virtual host
[11:55] <_ikke_> add it to sites-available
[11:55] <killown> I am a experienced user,  I am using linux during 12 years
[11:55] <_ikke_> and symlink it to sites-enabled
[11:55] <c3l> icarus-c: ubuntu is probably more user friendly, and the up to date packages, yet security updates is nice
[11:55] <killown> I just wanna know about a ppa for gnome 2.32
[11:56] <oCean> dwarder: that makes it easy to disable a site/vhosts w/out removing the actual configuration(files)
[11:56] <icarus-c> c3l, right
[11:56] <jrib> dwarder: sites-available are the sites available, and sites-enabled are the sites enabled (you symlink to the sites-available file or just use a2ensite)
[11:56] <oCean> killown: see my message
[11:56] <nogo> killown: who isn't?
[11:56] <dwarder> jrib: thanks
[11:56] <dwarder> oCean: thanks
[11:56] <killown> oCean, thanks

[12:01] <oCean> visof: is your quesion ubuntu related? In that case, ask your *real* question
[12:01] <plitter> Hey, could anyone throw me in the right direction if i want to mount my nokia phone in ubuntu 10.04 over bluetooth?
[12:01] <AbhiJit> visof, its not for linux
[12:01] <visof> AbhiJit, is there any similar game for linux ?
[12:01] <AbhiJit> visof, dunno
[12:02] <AbhiJit> visof, try searchin in getdeb under games section

[12:04] <icarus-c> um i heard that unreal tournament 2004 got linux port
[12:05] <icarus-c> yes the wiki page say so
[12:05] <AbhiJit> no
[12:05] <visof> nogo, did you play it ?
[12:05] <AbhiJit> they decided again not to port to linux
[12:07] <visof> AbhiJit, did you mean me ?
[12:07] <nogo> visof: i have quited
[12:07] <TSK> Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is another good game that runs real nicely on Ubuntu

[12:21] <Thor^^> hi
[12:22] <Thor^^> I got a FakeRAID using Intel Matrix Storage and I was wondering if anyone know how to set up Ubuntu 10.04 to be able to see it, I found how to set it up during install, but this is a system that was installed before I had the Raid
[12:23] <DarkStar1> Does anyone know if OpenOffice has a language translation plug-in

[12:24] <bhaveshvala> how to increase apache number of process
[12:24] <dwarder> operated*
[12:25] <jeroen> I need some help with a weird problem involing shellcode someone got time?:)
[12:25] <c3l> www-data iirc, thats at least the permissions needed on folders for apache to be able to read it
[12:26] <oCean> dwarder: I'm pretty sure it's www-data, but using <IfModule mpm_itk_module> in the configs, you can assign whatever (specific) userid you want
[12:26] <oCean> dwarder: ^ for each vhost for example
[12:26] <DarkStar1> oCean: thanks
[12:26] <c3l> jeroen: dont ask to ask, if its a lot of text, put it on pastebin and link it
[12:27] <jeroen> I switched of kernel randomization sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space = 0 And follwed a tutorial for coding the exit command in shellcode
[12:27] <dwarder> oCean: thanks
[12:27] <jeroen> but when I try to execute simple shellcode it gives an segmentation fault and i'm pretty sure the code is correct
[12:28] <jeroen> because it works on 2 different laptops

[12:41] <oCean> Gnea: dwarder that is #httpd
[12:41] <Gnea> oCean: noted.
[12:43] <SinusPi> Greetings. May some of you shed some light on a problem of mine? I need USB-booted Ubuntu 10.10 to not try to initialize one of the hard disks; it has (probably) unreadable partition table (or worse) and ubuntu keeps failing on some DMA reads and won't even go into X mode, stuck in the error loop. Any way I can prevent any attempts to mount it, so that I can do it manually once everything is up..?
[12:43] <Braber01> !adduser
[12:44] <Oer> SinusPi, #ubuntu+1 for 10.10
[12:46] <SinusPi> Oer: and it's SO much of a difference between 10 and any other version?
[12:46] <tensorpudding> it's big enough that they have another channel for it
[12:47] <Oer> SinusPi, i think not, but any bug should be discussed there, to avoid your bug gets lost.
[12:47] <SinusPi> I don't think it's a bug, rather lack of knowledge on my part. But very well, moving.
[12:50] <Thelz> Does ubuntu or ubuntu server have harddisk check utilities? The file system got corrupted, and I'd prefer to scan for bad sectors before reinstalling from scratch
[12:51] <imaginois> Thelz it's called disk utility
[12:51] <imaginois> you can find it under system->administration
[12:51] <Thelz> imaginois> is it available from the shell?
[12:52] <imaginois> what do you want to check? the filesystem or the hard drive
[12:52] <Thelz> the harddrive
[12:52] <Thelz> the file system was corrupt
[12:52] <Thelz> It managed to repair most, so I'm moving all the files off the computer
[12:53] <Thelz> I want to scan for bad sectors, then reformat
[12:53] <Thelz> (unless bad sectors are found of course, then I need to replace the HDD)
[12:53] <imaginois> Ubuntu makes a filesystem check every 30 boots or something. If for any case, you want a filesystem check you can do it by issuing the following command:
[12:54] <imaginois> shutdown -rF now
[12:54] <imaginois> this should do the routine filesystem check at startup
[12:54] <Thelz> I've done the file system check... it couldn't solve it all, so I ran fsck
[12:55] <Thelz> Now network support and samba are running again
[12:55] <Thelz> so I'm pulling all the files off
[12:55] <imaginois> if you want to scan for bad sectors i think you are better off using 3rd party software
[12:55] <imaginois> download and burn hiren's boot cd
[12:55] <Thelz> ok, got any good tips, or should I google?
[12:55] <Thelz> hiren's boot cd? never heard of it
[12:55] <imaginois> it has good tools which may help in you particular case
[12:56] <imaginois> there's a tool called hdd regenerator it scans and repairs bad sectors if possibel
[12:56] <wild_oscar> hey. did I dream or was the sound indicator applet supposed to show the current volume % on mouse hover?
[12:57] <wild_oscar> or doesn't it have any mouse hover action?
[12:57] <imaginois> in windows it does but ubuntu I don
[12:57] <imaginois> dont think so
[12:58] <wild_oscar> oh, probably not in lucid: http://buranen.info/?p=394
[12:58] <wild_oscar> hmm...so I didn't dream it
[12:59] <wild_oscar> it works when you scroll, it simply doesn't give you any visual feedback
[12:59] <imaginois> maybe in maverick you'll see it again
[13:00] <imaginois> they implemented rhytmbox in the volume control
[13:00] <imaginois> http://gericom.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/lucid-sound-indicator-gets-improved/
[13:01] <imaginois> big question!

[13:02] <imaginois> whoever is reading
[13:02] <wild_oscar> pidgin
[13:02] <ashtray> mirc
[13:02] <bazhang> imaginois, not the right place to poll
[13:02] <tensorpudding> this place isn't for polling
[13:02] <bazhang> try #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:02] <adeola0405> hello, i need help understanding my free disk space, disk analyser says i have 32gb space free, but nautilus says i have 13gb free
[13:02] <Thelz> imaginois: HDD Regenerator seems to advertise a lot that it's "free to download". can it actually do anything without paying?
[13:02] <ashtray> what is ur client ,imaginois?
[13:03] <Thelz> ahh, the wonders of /ctcp version? :P
[13:03] <bazhang> ashtray, please stay on topic

[13:03] <Thelz> thanks imaginois
[13:03] <bazhang> imaginois, please dont recommend that here
[13:04] <imaginois> why not
[13:04] <bazhang> !piracy > imaginois
[13:04] <mbeierl> I am annoyed that there is no way to remap super-m (which I used to have mapped in compiz to launch thunderbird).  The notification applet has taken it over.  Does no one know how to change that?
[13:05] <adeola0405> please, will someone assist me in my disk space calculation problems, nautilus says i have 13 gb free but all other diskapps say i have 32 gb free
[13:06] <wild_oscar> adeola0405: try df -h in a shell
[13:06] <ashtray> wine mirc is perfect on Ubuntu9.10,bazhang
[13:06] <adeola0405> reads 14gb
[13:06] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: reads 14gb
[13:07] <wild_oscar> hmm...what other diskapps say more than that then?
[13:08] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: the drive is 220gb, totla file size onthe drive is 167gb
[13:08] <Thelz> imaginois: Thanks, seems useful
[13:08] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: disk analyser and gparted
[13:09] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: make that 168.5gb
[13:09] <c3l> Thelz: remember that some of the tools on that CD is illegaly redistributed
[13:09] <MM2> How I reinstall grub to mbr?
[13:09] <Thelz> c3l: Ah, wasn't aware, sorry
[13:10] <wild_oscar> is "used" different in "df -h" and gparted?
[13:10] <wild_oscar> for a specific /dev, that is
[13:11] <erfolg> @MM2 grub-install /dev/sda
[13:11] <wild_oscar> adeola0405: don't forget you might have more than one partition (/dev/sda1, sda2...) and you might be comparing one partition (sda1) 's space with the full disk space
[13:12] <cannonball> MM2: grub-install '(hd0)'    which assumes that hd0 is your first drive, probably /dev/sda as indicated by wild_oscar
[13:12] <MM2> erfolg: grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0 gives: error /dev/mapper/eduwww-root does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[13:12] <sara2010> can anyone tell me
[13:13] <wild_oscar>  (no, I was  talking to adeola0405)
[13:13] <sara2010> why freespire web site is not working !
[13:13] <sara2010> ?
[13:13] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: gparted reads 195.6gb total and 172 gb used and 23.3gbfree, df -h reads 190gb and 170gbused with 14 gb free
[13:13] <MM2> erfolg: i.e. I have SATA drive with LVM
[13:14] <erfolg> MM2: try doing like cannonball said and run sudo grub-install '(hd0)' in terminal. that should work for any kind of setup you have including LVM.
[13:14] <philinux> sara2010: no ubuntu. But site probably down
[13:14] <wild_oscar> adeola0405: I actually see a difference in a few Gb too between them
[13:14] <sara2010> philinux .. also CNR service is down
[13:14] <ChesterX> hello everyone, is there an app that (as windows mediaplayer) catches/recognises the track names of cds?
[13:15] <sara2010> is another web like CNR service
[13:15] <sara2010> i want install some sfotware
[13:15] <MM2> erfolg: same error message. I have booted using liveUSB and chrooted my server, because I can not boot to system othervice
[13:15] <sara2010> software
[13:15] <philinux> sara2010: vagaries of the web
[13:16] <wild_oscar> anyway, lunch time
[13:16] <sara2010> philinux .. vagaries of the web ?
[13:16] <philinux> sara2010: sometimes it not work
[13:16] <adeola0405> wild_oscar: what could be causing this difference
[13:17] <sara2010> last 2 days i m trying

[13:19] <laserbeam> no they crash randomly... hardware might be the answer though
[13:19] <philinux> sara2010: wont ping either. Must be down.
[13:19] <erfolg> laserbeam: how old is your install?
[13:19] <laserbeam> I'l google a bit about finding the temperature, I'l be back if that's the answer...

[13:23] <ikar> good morning
[13:24] <SinusPi> +1 seems largely dead... Is there really no simple universal answer to my question..? How to prevent USB-booted Ubuntu from getting stuck on trying to mount a (probably) badly broken HDD, and instead boot and let me mount it manually?
[13:25] <ikar> is there a ccleaner for Ubuntu 10.04?
[13:25] <DrPoO> hi, How do i add a directory to the path of every user?
[13:25] <serapophis> ikar, maybe bleachbit
[13:25] <Chell> ikar, what is that?
[13:25] <ikar> serapophis, aha, tnx
[13:26] <erfolg> DrPo0: are you trying to link 1 directory to every user's home directory?
[13:26] <DrPoO> erflog, no im trying to have a command accessible to every users path
[13:26] <DrPoO> erfolg, no im trying to have a command accessible to every users path
[13:27] <erfolg> DrPoO: try just symbolic linking it.
[13:27] <DrPoO> don't i have to add the path to /etc/profile?
[13:27] <VCoolio>  DrPoO put executable in /usr/local/bin or add folder to path in /etc/profile
[13:28] <Izoel> WelcomeBack
[13:28] <erfolg> yeah that should work.
[13:29] <Evo11> Hi there.I seem to be still having trouble trying to access my ubuntu server via my windows workstations.Can anyone assist me?
[13:30] <DrPoO> Evo11, what is the problem?
[13:30] <erfolg> Evoll: are you trying to get ssh access?
[13:30] <Evo11> since yesterday l can't seem to be able to access my shared folders on my ubuntu server via my windows workstations
[13:30] <DrPoO> VCoolio, i added a line to /etc/profile, how do i make that change active?
[13:31] <pozic> DrPoO: you relogin.
[13:31] <erfolg> Evoll: smbd is running?
[13:31] <VCoolio> log in again or 'source /etc/profile'
[13:31] <pozic> VCoolio: those are not equivalent, right?
[13:31] <squarebracket> is there a good graph-making program?
[13:31] <ikar> another question: how do i change back to normal directory-icon?
[13:31] <pozic> squarebracket: define graph.
[13:32] <DrPoO> squarebracket, try dia
[13:32] <pksadiq> maths graph?
[13:32] <squarebracket> pozic, simple stuff, like bar graphs, sin wave plots, i don't need anything intense like octave
[13:32] <Evo11> far as l know yes
[13:32] <squarebracket> pksadiq, yeah, math
[13:32] <pozic> squarebracket: gnuplot can do that.
[13:32] <DrPoO> squarebracket, in my opinion a combination of dia and inkscape does the trick
[13:32] <squarebracket> pozic, gnuplot does bar graphs?
[13:33] <DrPoO> squarebracket, or check out graphviz
[13:33] <VCoolio> pozic: if you relogin, /etc/profile is read again too, but also it does everything else againwhich you don't need know; it's convenient if you don t know how to apply a change
[13:33] <Evo11> what do I type again to see if it is running?
[13:33] <erfolg> Evoll: if you can, try top | grep smbd
[13:33] <pozic> squarebracket: or use R.
[13:33] <squarebracket> DrPoO, graphviz is language?
[13:34] <squarebracket> pozic, don't need R. Too complex i'd imagine
[13:34] <DrPoO> squarebracket, kindof http://www.graphviz.org/
[13:34] <erfolg> Evoll: actually nvm. just do pidof smbd
[13:34] <pozic> squarebracket: google bar graph gnuplot returns gnuplot screenshots.
[13:34] <erfolg> Evoll: if you get a pid it's running if not it's not.
[13:35] <system-setup> hi,, just have a customers laptop install with win7 / ubutntu>> have the o.e.m tool installed,, but will need to delete this account/profile etc for OEM to best work.. any advice??
[13:35] <pozic> squarebracket: calc can also do it.
[13:35] <pozic> squarebracket: if you are into Excel like computing.
[13:35] <squarebracket> pozic, yeah, i know.
[13:35] <Evo11> That is what l get when l run pidof smbd: 1050 1028
[13:35] <pozic> squarebracket: my professional opinion is that calc is a piece of crap.
[13:35] <squarebracket> pozic, yeah
[13:35] <pozic> squarebracket: Excel is pretty solid in my experience.
[13:36] <EricInBNE> oh man...my ubuntu system was running great...but a recent update now my mouse periodically slows down massively, and then speeds back up
[13:36] <ikar> where do i find the default icon for directories in Ubuntu 10.04?
[13:36] <EricInBNE> how do I backtrack to an earlier kernel?
[13:36] <pozic> (which is why I think it is silly that people say it is a real replacement)
[13:36] <erfolg> Evoll: ok so it's running. now edit your smb.conf file and check to see if your server is still defined in it.
[13:37] <Evo11> I can edit that file but l can't do any changes as it is read only
[13:37] <st__> what's wrong with calc?
[13:37] <squarebracket> last time i was looking into this i found GLE.... maybe i'; check out graphviz
[13:37] <erfolg> Evoll: sudo nano or vi whichever you use will let you edit it.
[13:37] <st__> EricInBNE, several last ones should be in grub menu
[13:39] <st__> and is there a way to override files in packed ubuntu image on livecd?

[13:45] <zayr> how i can create new boot partition from current running ubuntu ?
[13:45] <zayr> and which size ?
[13:46] <st__> zayr, use livecd and gparted
[13:46] <llutz> zayr: use cfdisk, ~100MB should be more than sufficient
[13:46] <zayr> well /boot can be unmouted only through live cd ?
[13:46] <erfolg> zayr: 50 mb has problems so make it around 100 mb
[13:47] <zayr> and what FS ? for speed ?
[13:47] <erfolg> zayr: ext2

[13:48] <jappiecr>  I installed Italc in chroot environment, but have trouble getting it to work. How do I uninstall it completly? I want to reinstall on the server side only...
[13:48] <zayr> ty
[13:48] <zayr> and why everything looks so blured ?
[13:49] <Squeeze_me> if i download and install the beta, would it be able to upgrade to the good version... or would i have to reinstall ?
[13:49] <erfolg> Squeeze_me: it automatically upgrades
[13:49] <Squeeze_me> yay
[13:49] <Squeeze_me> thanks
[13:50] <zayr> is it only me or it looks very blurish ?
[13:51] <st__> zayr, nonnative resolution on LCD?
[13:51] <zayr> st__: native
[13:51] <glaucous> I'm going to copy my / partition using gparted to another HDD. I suppose I'll need to install grub to that other HDD?
[13:51] <lestat> hi all
[13:51] <Hdthree> What is a good proxy to use at school?
[13:51] <lestat> any idea how to disable gnome-terminal tab detaching ?
[13:51] <st__> Hdthree, we used squid
[13:52] <Evo11> its still there
[13:52] <Hdthree> I'm just looking for a webbased proxy atm
[13:52] <st__> zayr, what is blured?
[13:52] <erfolg> Evoll: what is now?
[13:52] <zayr> st__: fonts
[13:52] <dwarder> erfolg: and how do you access it?
[13:52] <dwarder> erfolg: localhost/phpmyadmin?
[13:52] <st__> zayr, it's called "antaliasing"
[13:53] <lestat> Hdthree: webbased proxy you mean http proxy ?
[13:53] <zayr> doesnt feel right
[13:53] <Evo11> this server is starting to piss me off now
[13:53] <st__> zayr, because ubuntu fonts are badly hinted and look terribly when not AA'd
[13:53] <erfolg> dwarder: yeah. or yourip/phpmyadmin it'll ask you for the root pw you set in the setup.
[13:53] <Hdthree> yes i mean http proxy
[13:53] <jappiecr> Is there away to undo an installation? If my server was running great at 10 am and I installed something at 10.15am, can I get ti to the state of 10am again?
[13:53] <zayr> st__: where i cant enable aa ?
[13:53] <erfolg> dwarder: login as root
[13:54] <ajhavery> my apache server doesn't detect the directory copied in my /var/www/ directory
[13:54] <st__> zayr, gnome: appearance settings
[13:54] <ajhavery> i have to manually create directories & files in /var/www/ to get it detected by the apache server
[13:54] <dwarder> erfolg: it didn't ask me for password during setup
[13:55] <pksadiq> how to see my own IP in terminal?
[13:55] <ajhavery> so i can't sync with my fellows work
[13:55] <zayr> ifconfig
[13:55] <phisher1> pksadiq: ifconfig
[13:55] <tensorpudding> pksadiq: ifconfig lists all interfaces, with all the addresses associated with them
[13:55] <st__> how to disable iptables?
[13:56] <zayr> st__: remove it :P
[13:56] <pksadiq> let me try
[13:56] <htorque> hello everyone! does anyone here know a mp3 analyzing tool (eg. info on bitrate & co., if they are valid, etc.)
[13:56] <erfolg> dwarder: it should have. try just logging in as root with your normal password first. if that doesn't work just dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin and it should ask you to set a root pw.
[13:57] <Evo11> I feel like taking this server and throwing it out the window
[13:57] <jiohdi> anyone know why some program icons will not stay in the launch bar on unity?
[13:57] <erfolg> Evo11: what's going on now?
[13:57] <bazhang> jiohdi, on maverick?
[13:57] <jiohdi> bazhang: it works on 10.4 too
[13:58] <bazhang> jiohdi, are you running maverick?
[13:58] <Braber01> I just had a thought: is it possible to get a virus: via irssi/irc?
[13:58] <bazhang> Braber01, no
[13:58] <jiohdi> bazhang: I am running a beta upgrade from10.4
[13:58] <zayr> Braber01: yes
[13:58] <bazhang> jiohdi, then #ubuntu+1
[13:58] <bazhang> zayr, on ubuntu? no its not
[13:58] <jiohdi> bazhang: unity is not 10.10 dependant, same answer should work for 10.4
[13:59] <zayr> bazhang: you think getting virus is impossible on linux ?
[13:59] <erfolg> bazhang: he's on windows. :p
[13:59] <glaucous> What partition table should I use when formating a HDD on Linux using GParted?
[13:59] <erfolg> glaucous: mbr
[13:59] <st__> glaucous, msdos is safest o[ption
[13:59] <bazhang> jiohdi, thats the channel nonetheless, and its offtopic here, so please dont bring maverick issues here, thanks
[13:59] <st__> *mbr it is
[13:59] <glaucous> erfolg, st__ , okay, thanks
[13:59] <Evo11> from what l see everything should be working fine. I shouldn't be having trouble accessing my files on the server from my windows workstation
[14:00] <andrewaclt> I installed some avahi updates this morning, and now everytime I watch a movie in vcl, it logs me out o.O
[14:00] <st__> Evo11, had you enabled NTLMv2 on server?
[14:00] <erfolg> Evo11: try turning your firewall off if you can afford to and see if you can access it then.
[14:00] <glaucous> erfolg, st__ , there's no 'mbr' only 'msdos' when using gparted as far as I see
[14:00] <zayr> bazhang: as we know there was plenty remote linux exploits and example there was one with remote selinux root :P
[14:00] <Evo11> what is NTLMv2 st?
[14:01] <st__> Evo11, it's an authentication protocol for Vista and 7.
[14:01] <dwarder> Evo11: record video of it
[14:01] <Evo11> the firewall shouldn't be a problem as it was working fine up until yesterday
[14:01] <erfolg> glaucous: i usually use the standard disk utility which lets you choose mbr, guid. msdos=mbr though.
[14:01] <Evo11> Im using windows XP on my workstations
[14:01] <dwarder> Evo11: about throwing server out of the window
[14:01] <Evo11> lol
[14:02] <st__> Evo11, checked logs?
[14:02] <glaucous> erfolg, okay, yeah I just noticed that all my drives use msdos
[14:02] <erfolg> Evo11: go to run on xp and type \\serveraddress
[14:02] <Evo11> no that l haven't done yet.
[14:02] <Evo11> I can ping the server from my xp machine
[14:03] <pksadiq> zayr , linux is under linux hackers which is very strong and very high in population, but windows is mostly in the hands of crackers,but they call themselves as Hackers :)
[14:03] <erfolg> Evo11: if you run it it'll show up or say it can't connect.
[14:03] <tgywa> Hi all !
[14:03] <tgywa> how can I encode my username and pass in base64
[14:03] <tgywa> how can I encode my username and pass in base64 ?
[14:04] <pozic> echo hi | base64
[14:04] <tgywa> pozic, but ... that of a test username and pass
[14:04] <zayr> pksadiq: that doesnt matter if there is one byte remote kernel vuln :P
[14:04] <pksadiq> zayr, what?
[14:04] <maedox> XChat keeps trying to join #ubuntu before it has done the /msg NickServ identify stuff. Anyone know of a solution or some sleep command? It drives me insane.
[14:04] <pozic> tgywa: echo testuserpassword| base64 ?
[14:05] <matthiasb> Hi, I've a delicate problem rescuing data from a broken hard disk. Is there an appropriate channel for such problems?
[14:05] <Evo11> when l type my servers address like you said it tells me windows cannot find "server address"
[14:05] <st__> tgywa, tell us protocol require,ents
[14:06] <tgywa> pozic, that worked
[14:06] <erfolg> Evo11: something is wrong in either your firewall or smb.conf configuration then.
[14:06] <tgywa> thanks
[14:06] <erfolg> Evo11: be sure your smb.conf has the same workgroup, etc.
[14:06] <phisher1> make sure samba is running..
[14:06] <st__> erfolg, can you connect with telnet to 445 port on your server? also, does Workstation service running on XP?
[14:07] <erfolg> phisher1: he already did that.
[14:07] <zayr> pksadiq: obscurity is no security :)
[14:07] <bazhang> zayr, stay on topic please; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:07] <erfolg> st__: Evo11 is the one with the problem.
[14:08] <st__> why there's no tahoma font in Ubuntu by default?
[14:09] <erfolg> st__: install msttcorefonts
[14:09] <st__> erfolg, it's not there sadly
[14:09] <erfolg> st__: or ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:09] <erfolg> st__: sucks
[14:09] <elvina> hi.. if I add-in additional HDD to a ubuntu server to set up RAID, how will the server knows which is the master/original HD? I don't want to lose my server installation
[14:09] <pksadiq> zayr, So Windows is the best of all, as you say, great security :D, Vista vas cracked just a few days before the Final release
[14:09] <tensorpudding> elvina: you have an install without RAID in already?
[14:10] <st__> pksadiq, activation != security
[14:11] <tensorpudding> elvina: when you set up RAID on a set of disks, you wipe all the data on the disks
[14:11] <pksadiq> st__ , that does mean everybody can easly enter and modify System files and user files
[14:11] <zayr> pksadiq: you are wrong and lets move this discuss somewhere :P
[14:11] <pksadiq> yeah. right
[14:11] <st__> pksadiq, not everyone, but system administrator
[14:12] <zayr> pksadiq: #sexurity
[14:12] <zayr> how creative i am with naming :P
[14:12] <pksadiq> zayr , what?
[14:12] <zayr> pksadiq: join there for our discussion :P
[14:12] <elvina> tensorpudding, yaa.... i set up without raid initially... now i want to set raid on that setup...
[14:12] <_learner> Hi, I want to create and maintaine new iso which will be a mixture of ubuntu-maverick and some packages in main ubuntu repo + local ppa. I have a idea about seeds, but not other things completely
[14:12] <pksadiq> sorry, I have to keep my posotion ,
[14:12] <st__> if I write sudo utility which will run any command without asking for password, will it mean that Unix has no security?
[14:13] <bazhang> zayr, stop that
[14:13] <_learner> Wish, if someone can provide me pointers and resources :-)
[14:13] <greppy> st__: you can configure sudo to not ask for a password.
[14:13] <elvina> tensorpudding, anyway to go about it?
[14:13] <phisher1> st__: if you reference a script that is editable by the user, yes.
[14:13] <Evo11> I have just put the firewall of on my windows XP machine and it still tells me windows cannot find "server address"
[14:13] <st__> _learner, remastersys was designed for such things
[14:14] <tensorpudding> elvina: backup vital data, reinstall using RAID (Ubuntu Server has this as an option), then restore the data from the backup
[14:14] <researcher123> last week I updated kernel n cant see resolution hence have to work under CLI.Can I undo update
[14:14] <st__> Evo11, use telnet on Windows machine to check connectivity
[14:14] <st__> researcher123, no, it's gone forever
[14:14] <researcher123> whats the way out
[14:14] <erfolg> Evo11: try turning your server's firewall off for a few seconds to see if it will connect then.
[14:14] <_learner> st__: I am not sure, but we can't use remasterysys for creating iso on remote vm or local vm.. right?
[14:15]  * _learner reading about remastersys in details
[14:15] <Hory> can I instal ubuntu using an existing ext3 partition for /home/ without it being deleted?
[14:15] <maedox> researcher123: just boot the previous kernel... I think you have to press shift right before you see the ubuntu logo. either that or "escape".
[14:15] <Hory> I mean the 10.10 RC
[14:15] <zayr> bazhang: pksadiq: When a "potential D.o.S." means a one-shot remote kernel exploit: the SCTP story
[14:15] <zayr> google for that :P
[14:16] <jpds> Hory: If you have /home on a separate partition, sure.
[14:16] <phisher1> he might just be missing a video card driver
[14:16] <phisher1> might wanna try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:16] <researcher123> kindly help me get back my GUI. It tries to start in Low Graphic Mode but never starts n falls to CLI.Kernel was updated last week
[14:16] <davey3d> i need a nice notepad IDE, ubuntu alternative? thank you
[14:16] <davey3d> for web development purposes
[14:16] <erfolg> Hory: be sure to use manual partitioning and tell it not to format that partition, only to use it as /home
[14:16] <glebihan> Hory: just tell the partitioner to mount your partition in /home without formatting it
[14:16] <st__> Hory, sure but not with live cd I'm afraid
[14:17] <erfolg> davey3d: gedit?
[14:17] <glebihan> st__, Hory: yes live CD will handle this
[14:17] <Hory> thx
[14:17] <erfolg> st__: live cd installer can do it.
[14:17] <davey3d> anything else?
[14:17] <tensorpudding> davey3d: geany
[14:17] <st__> davey3d, or geany if you need document structure view
[14:17] <researcher123> is it ok to install 9.1 to replace earlier Lynx
[14:18] <davey3d> thanks muchly :)
[14:18] <Hory> yep, geany is nice
[14:18] <glebihan> davey3d: geany
[14:18] <Hory> I installed it on windows too :)
[14:18] <tensorpudding> geany is less like notepad than gedit
[14:18] <st__> some old livecd always formatted / partition... probably it's different now
[14:18] <tensorpudding> but this is a good thing
[14:18] <erfolg> st__: just use manual partitioning and you can do anything.
[14:18] <Hory> and updating from 10.10 RC to final in 10 days or so will be possible, right?
[14:18] <bazhang> Hory, yes
[14:19] <pksadiq> researcher123 , try sudo start gdm and say the error message
[14:19] <Evo11> telnet on windows xp says "could not open connection to host on port.... connection failed
[14:19] <glebihan> geany has better syntax highlighting than gedit (particulalry for mixed php,html and js)
[14:19] <bazhang> Hory, further discussion of 10.10 in #ubuntu+1 please
[14:19] <erfolg> Hory: 10.10 RC isn't out yet.
[14:19] <davey3d> that'll be very handy thank you
[14:19] <st__> Hory, you're already on release except maybe some packages
[14:19] <researcher123> ok pksadiq
[14:19] <Hory> it's out
[14:19] <theMalloc> Hi @ all.
[14:19] <Hory> since it's on the official FTP :)
[14:19] <erfolg> oh dang. my bad.
[14:20] <davey3d> stupid question. if i wanted to launch geany from terminal how can i do that?
[14:20] <st__> geany <file> &
[14:20] <glebihan> davey3d: type "geany"
[14:20] <erfolg> but rc basically is final anyhow
[14:20] <davey3d> whats the ubuntu syntax for that, it seems different
[14:20] <davey3d> that wont work like gedit though
[14:20] <researcher123> pksadiq: Im new.can u guide with commands to be executed on CLI
[14:20] <_learner> I also wish to have .zsysnc file,  Isn't there a guide for creating build script for creating new iso with packages of our own choice ?
[14:20] <davey3d> as gedits built into the system
[14:20] <pksadiq> researcher123 ,k
[14:21] <researcher123> tq
[14:21] <n8w> .
[14:21] <theMalloc> I modified my grub settings in the past to have an entry for windows7. Now after upgrade to Lucid I do not get new entries for new kernel images. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
[14:21] <glebihan> davey3d: no it's the same
[14:21] <DexterLB> I miss gparted, where did it go?
[14:21] <glebihan> DexterLB: it's still there
[14:21] <davey3d> oh ok, thank you :) im just getting used to ubuntu
[14:21] <sarmisak> DexterLB, still there.
[14:21] <n8w> theMalloc:  update-grub
[14:21] <glebihan> DexterLB: unless you uninstalled it
[14:22] <theMalloc> n8w: ist this everything?
[14:22] <DexterLB> hmm not installed by default
[14:22] <erfolg> DexterLB: doesn't come standard on new ubuntu installs. just apt-get install it.
[14:22] <pksadiq> researcher123 ,the 'sudo' command allows to start any application as a super user, when using sudo unid to enter your user password, try sudo start gdm
[14:22] <Evo11> so now l really have no idea what is the problem
[14:22] <pksadiq> !gdm | researcher123
[14:22] <n8w> theMalloc:  what do u mean?
[14:23] <erfolg> Evo11: check to see if your smb.conf is on the same workgroup as your windows box.
[14:23] <DexterLB> I  know i can install it, I'm just curious why they replaced it for that disk utility thing
[14:23] <theMalloc> Do I have to do anything more or is that all? (Sorry... my english is not so good)
[14:23] <glebihan> erfolg: really ? I wonder why they would have removed it...
[14:23] <researcher123> ok.trying
[14:23] <DexterLB> gparted is a far better tool
[14:23] <erfolg> glebihan: it's been gone since karmic i believe.
[14:23] <pksadiq> ubottu has forgotten every thing ! :) don't know even gdm !
[14:24] <researcher123> I got this message Job already running gdm
[14:24] <researcher123> im on live CD 9.1
[14:24] <Evo11> no its in a different workgroup,but how can that be cause the problem if it was always working up until yesterday?
[14:24] <pksadiq> researcher123 , press ALT + CTRL + F7
[14:24] <abhishek_kumar> i register on freenode irc but i didn't receive any mail which i specified in "/msg username register password emailaddress"

[14:25] <researcher123> if I can chat then I will go to damaged system
[14:25] <erfolg> researcher123: get 10.04
[14:26] <pksadiq> researcher123 ,I think you can access CLI in that system isn't it?
[14:26] <abhishek_kumar> thanks bazhang i ll do that
[14:26] <notworking> I am so frustrated with the min max and close buttons.. Why do they frequently disappear?  I have gone to metacity 10 billion times and gconf-editor and changed them back so many times.. now I check metacity and it hasn't changed menu:min,max,close: and right now I still dont have my buttons,,  Can some body help me out here
[14:26] <researcher123> yes I can access CLI well can run internet also
[14:26] <n8w> theMalloc:  no,just that
[14:26] <pksadiq> researcher123 , Do you have irssi?
[14:26] <erfolg> notworking: use compiz
[14:27] <researcher123> pksadiq: I dont know but can install from sudo aptget coomand
[14:27] <notworking> erfolg I thought I was using compiz
[14:27] <Fatalis> why isnt php5-sqlite3 on the karmic repo?
[14:27] <notworking> erfolg how or why does it keep changing
[14:27] <erfolg> notworking: you said you checked metalcity. metalcity/compiz is a choice.
[14:27] <pksadiq> researcher123 , k, so do sudo apt-get install irssi , and then open it, IRC is ready
[14:28] <erfolg> notworking: are you using emerald or anything?
[14:28] <researcher123> then how will I contact u again
[14:28] <researcher123> my nick reasearhcer123 is not registered
[14:28] <pksadiq> researcher123 ,You can again reach this #ubuntu in freenode
[14:28] <notworking> erfolg I downloaded emerald a long time ago.. how can I fix this damn thing once and for all..  I am not a power user
[14:28] <dpyro> i'm trying to install g++-4.1 on ubuntu 10.10; i google about and it says its in the universe repo but I only see gcc-4.1 from aptitude, not g++-4.1
[14:29] <researcher123> will u have same name then
[14:29] <Evo11> brb gonna try rebooting my server after making some changes
[14:29] <pksadiq> researcher123 ,Here I'm not the only one to help You, but a lot
[14:29] <researcher123> but u have understood something about my question
[14:29] <researcher123> ok. i will restart.it may take a while
[14:30] <pksadiq> researcher123 . :) many, chating here know more than me, very more
[14:30] <glebihan> dpyro: 10.10 questions on #ubuntu+1
[14:30] <erfolg> notworking: sudo apt-get install fusion-icon will make a nice icon in the taskbar that will help you change window managers and window decorators. you can find it in system tools.
[14:30] <j_ayen_green> Have been doing the Ubuntu 10.4 updates with no other changes. This past week duplicity started failing http://pastebin.com/8KF9BjbB
[14:31] <pksadiq> researcher123 .any way I will be here , but after 1/2 an  hour later
[14:31] <clu3> hi all, i'm running a cron job under www-data user and i have to use "sudo -u www-data my_script.sh"
[14:32] <clu3> but that requires a password prompt.is there a way to get passed that?
[14:32] <notworking> erfolg thanks I will try it.. also i did a remove emerald and it wasnt to be found.. Must have removed it a while ago too
[14:32] <sacarlson> clu3: you can setup sudo with no password
[14:32] <glebihan> clu3: add yourself to the www-data group, or change the  permissions of my_script.sh to allow others to execute it
[14:33] <st__> j_ayen_green, use duplicity tracker to dump it there
[14:33] <erfolg> notworking: good luck
[14:33] <glaucous> (In case my last message didn't go out, internet died) I just copied my / partition to another drive, what do I have to do to install grub on that drive instead? Do I need to uninstall grub from the other drive?
[14:33] <DroneWork> Holy hell, how hard is it to find a Ubuntu compatible Multi-stream Cablecard PCI Tuner, grrrrr
[14:33] <blackshell> when i alias a command by adding it to ~/.bashrc how do i make it work it in "alt+f2" window?
[14:33] <st__> clu3, suid
[14:33] <notworking> erfolg  emerald is still showing in the fusion icon
[14:34] <glebihan> blackshell: .bashrc won't be sourced when using Alt+F2
[14:34] <erfolg> notworking: tell it to use gtk decorator instead of emerald then.
[14:34] <clu3> sacarlson, sudo without password is a little dangerous isn't it?
[14:34] <j_ayen_green> st__, is that something that will have installed with duplicity, or is it a separate package?
[14:34] <st__> j_ayen_green, it's a section on duplicity website
[14:35] <glebihan> blackshell: maybe using .profile would work
[14:35] <j_ayen_green> st__, ah, ok...thanks :)
[14:35] <sacarlson> clu3: ya but I needed it so I added www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL  in sudoers
[14:35] <notworking> erfolg  I hit reload settings man.. and everything came back     again....   how to remove the emerald?  synaptic?
[14:35] <erfolg> try sudo apt-get purge emerald
[14:36] <notworking> erfolg   and compiz is selected... I think it was already because metacity had the correct button settings but they weren't showing
[14:36] <llutz> sacarlson: "ww-data ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL"  <- ALL really needed? limit it to those commands really needed
[14:37] <erfolg> notworking: so are they not showing now or did that fix it?
[14:37] <sacarlson> clu3: you can make it so they can only run some stuf
[14:37] <blackshell> glebihan:any idea how?
[14:37] <imaginois__> i need some help with pcsc
[14:37] <sacarlson> llutz: very true
[14:37] <notworking> erfolg    oh it fixed it.....   Till I restart a few more times and then Ill be right back here again
[14:38] <glebihan> blackshell: if you use .profile, you would have to log out and back in in order for this to work, since .profile is only sourced on login
[14:38] <glebihan> blackshell: .profile maybe, but I'm not sure
[14:38] <clu3> sacarlson, how can you do it? Could you pls be a little more specific?
[14:38] <blackshell> glebihan:where is .profile file?
[14:38] <notworking> erfolg   where exactly do I find the gtk instead of emerald??  in the fusion icon??
[14:38] <erfolg> notworking: that's strange. try installing emerald and just switching to gtk decorator if it messes up again.
[14:38] <llutz> clu3: read "man sudoers", it will explain
[14:38] <budz0r> hello there, im using lenovo ideapad s10-3, and ubuntu 10.10, with latest updates, n10 familiy graphic controller, an i can't boot any kernel after 2.6.35-18-generic, kernel boots till loadin firmware, that is the point where framebuffer comes up, and then freezes
[14:38] <glebihan> blackshell: in your home folder, if it doesn't exist , create it
[14:38] <notworking> erfolg   I found it... it was gfk also
[14:39] <sacarlson> clu3:  look at http://maestric.com/doc/unix/ubuntu_sudo_without_password
[14:39] <erfolg> notworking: under fusion icon you'll see a menu w/ select window decorator.
[14:39] <budz0r> do anyone have same problem
[14:39] <AndrewMC> budz0r: please go to #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 support
[14:39] <clu3> llutz, sacarlson  thanks
[14:39] <budz0r> AndrewMC: ok
[14:39] <st__> why he need sudo when it could be done with suid/sgid?
[14:40] <llutz> st__: sgid/suid as sudo-replacement is a stupid idea
[14:40] <vamsiiiii> hi, I forgot root password , but have a user account which is not sudo user
[14:40] <sacarlson> st__: tell him then
[14:40] <notworking> erfolg  I found it, it was GTK also.. I dont get the whole disappearing buttons thing but it has happened at least 20 times since insdtalling 10.04
[14:40] <vamsiiiii> can I edit/ etc/passwd ?
[14:40] <vamsiiiii> and put a new password instead on x ?
[14:40] <martez89> hey, im about to do a fresh ubuntu install, i made a backup of all my important files except for about 250gb of movies. is there a way to keep those files?
[14:40] <glebihan> vamsiiiii: no !
[14:40] <vamsiiiii> :( what can I do then ?
[14:40] <glebihan> vamsiiiii: that wouldn't be very secured
[14:40] <maedox> vamsiiiii: no, you have to use a live-cd and chroot to your partition, then do passwd.
[14:40] <rww> !password
[14:40] <pksadiq> vasmiiiii , can't do directly
[14:41] <st__> llutz, interactive utility in cron script is bad idea too
[14:41] <vamsiiiii> Idont care for security for now..unles I have root passworsd
[14:41] <vamsiiiii> but can I do it ?
[14:41] <blackshell> glebihan:and i write the alias command in .profile?
[14:41] <erfolg> notworking: is it just that the buttons are blank or is there no menu and everything at the top of your window?
[14:41] <llutz> st__: sure, but different story
[14:41] <glebihan> vamsiiiii: no you can't
[14:41] <glebihan> blackshell: yes
[14:41] <notworking> erfolg   Just the buttons menu disappears
[14:41] <vamsiiiii> can I replace x in /etc/passwd ?
[14:41] <st__> vamsiiiii, you should use passwd to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
[14:41] <vamsiiiii> I can change my password..but forgot root login
[14:42] <glebihan> vamsiiiii: once again no, you won't have permission to edit that file anyway
[14:42] <vamsiiiii> the password.. so I want to edit /etc/passwd
[14:42] <st__> vamsiiiii, boot OS with init=/bin/dash then run passwd root
[14:42] <maedox> vamsiiiii: as I said, boot with a live-cd, sudo su in terminal, then mount /dev/sda1 /mnt;chroot /mnt   and lastly passwd, set new root password.
[14:42] <jcrawford> morning all
[14:42] <clu3> i find it strange that crontab does not have a "run as user" setting..
[14:42] <Rohanc> hi
[14:42] <vamsiiiii> ok
[14:42] <sacarlson> vamsiiiii: then $sudo vi /etc/passwd
[14:42] <erfolg> notworking: i had the same problem for awhile actually. i think it's something to do with having tons of things loading on startup. you can make fusion icon start on startup and then just reload window manager and it'll come back.
[14:42] <notworking> erfolg   Also, is there a way to enable and connect to the wireless network without having to do it manually every time I turn on the box???
[14:43] <maedox> clu3: it's just you. ;-)   read up on it.  you specify a username in crontab or do crontab -e as that user.
[14:43] <DroYeR> Hello, you know how to fix the boot error for the aspire one, acer-wmi: Unable to detect devices wmId avaiable?
[14:43] <llutz> clu3: add it to /etc/cron.d
[14:43] <davey3d> installed program executables sit in which folder?
[14:44] <vamsiiiii> just curiosity :P whats the encryption for /etc/shadow ?
[14:44] <erfolg> notworking: system > preferences > network connections > wireless then click on the network you want to connect to, edit it and click connect automatically.
[14:44] <notworking> erfolg maybe its the docky or somehting I dnt know.. but thanks for your help on the subject anyway,  I was really thinking of going  back to 9.

[14:44] <martez89> is there a way to keep some files when doing a fresh install?
[14:44] <erfolg> notworking: stay w/ 10.04 or try 10.10 i would suggest.
[14:44] <notworking> erfolg   OH man...  U the wizard      Thx for all you did.. have a great day
[14:45] <pksadiq> vamsiiiii , if you have Set a password already to root , you may try to reset from the live CD
[14:45] <clu3> rww, thanks a lot
[14:45] <notworking> erfolg    10.10 is already out?
[14:45] <DroYeR> Hello, you know how to fix the boot error for the aspire one, acer-wmi: Unable to detect devices wmId avaiable?
[14:45] <erfolg> notworking: the rc came out today. rc=final version basically.
[14:45] <vamsiiiii> thanks guys..but I just was curious about encryption used in shadow file to store password
[14:45] <glebihan> davey3d: there are several places, mainly /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/sbin and /bin
[14:45] <glebihan> davey3d: to know where a specific executable is (say gedit), run "whereis gedit"
[14:45] <glebihan> notworking: RC only for now
[14:46] <notworking> erfolg  cool  thx..
[14:46] <davey3d> thank you

[14:47] <DroYeR> repeat ? xD
[14:47] <pksadiq> vamsiiiii , its easy , a little to reset root password easily using a live CD if you have root access in that live session, I beleive
[14:47] <Rohanc> can anyone help me with this? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503259/
[14:47] <researcher123> hi
[14:47] <notworking> erfolg    wireless connections is not in the menu???   wooopppss I got it
[14:47] <erfolg> notworking: system > preferences > network connections
[14:47] <st__> pksadiq, why live cd whe there's singleuser mode
[14:48] <sacarlson> st__: good point
[14:48] <glebihan> DroYeR: no the point is to not repeat too quickly (usually not more often than every 10 minutes)
[14:48] <researcher123> is it safe to install Ubuntu 9.1 over Lynx
[14:48] <notworking> erfolg    Done and thx again... Did you look at 10.10  yet?
[14:49] <pksadiq> st__ but I have already set a password for root, so I can't use single-user mode untill the password is given, more Secure
[14:49] <erfolg> notworking: yeah it's nice. disappointed w/ no gnome 3 yet but it'll come. color scheme is nicer than 10.04 as well as the backgrounds.
[14:49] <pksadiq> DroYer : start :)
[14:49] <notworking> erfolg    Ill take a gander.. have a good one
[14:49] <erfolg> notworking: gl
[14:49] <researcher123> :-D is it safe to install Ubuntu 9.1 over Lynx
[14:50] <andrewaclt> Hi, my X keeps crashing when I watch a video, the full logs can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1585251 any ideas?
[14:50] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:50] <erfolg> researcher123: do you mean reformat?
[14:50] <undecim> researcher123: If you mean remove Lucid completely, then yes, that's fine.
[14:50] <researcher123> yes reformat
[14:50] <martez89> can i make a new partition with disk utility?
[14:50] <mobasher> is there anyway i can do a checksum of home directory and with ls (permissions and all -ltr) output to a file ?
[14:50] <pksadiq> reasearcher123 , what advantage you do see on 9.10 over 10.04?
[14:50] <undecim> researcher123: It would be no different than installing 9.10 fresh
[14:50] <erfolg> researcher123: that'd be fine but why would you install 9.10?
[14:50] <Osmosis>   hi, somebody know a way to accept by console the step that i have to follow of an aplication that i want to install
[14:50] <Osmosis>    the dpkg is blocked until accept the program steps
[14:51] <DroYeR> Hello, you know how to fix the boot error for the aspire one, acer-wmi: Unable to detect devices wmId avaiable?
[14:51] <undecim> mobasher: You want to MD5sum the output of the ls command?
[14:51] <researcher123> erfolg: because I lost GUI after last kernel update
[14:51] <pksadiq> DroYer , is the error shown after installing Nvidia drivers? I had the same
[14:51] <researcher123> currenyl Im in contact with u by live CD of 9.1
[14:51] <erfolg> researcher123: i remember when that happened to me on 9.10. :p
[14:51] <mobasher> undecim: like i'm able to find do a checksum to a output file ( find . \! -type p -exec cksum {} \; >> check.out) but I need the permissions and all as well in the file
[14:52] <sacarlson> Osmosis: what application might that be?
[14:52] <researcher123> erfolg: whats the way out then
[14:52] <maedox> researcher123: if you didn't remove the old kernels you can still boot them and reinstall the updated one!
[14:52] <pksadiq> researcher123 , didn't you install irssi?
[14:52] <Osmosis> syslog of balabit
[14:52] <researcher123> could not
[14:52] <Osmosis> sacarlson, syslog of balabit
[14:53] <erfolg> researcher123: to me the easiest way out of any problem is to format. i keep everything backed up so it takes me like an hour to completely reinstall on one of my systems. i'd say format and install 10.10.
[14:53] <undecim> mobasher: So you want a checksum you can use to verify that the every file in your home directory is in the same place with the same permissions and the same size?
[14:53] <maedox> researcher123: so it's not just the kernel update? did you have a look in the logs?
[14:53] <DroYeR> pksaid The error that I appeared to install ubuntu netbook remix 10.04, you know how to fix?
[14:53] <Rohanc> http://paste.ubuntu.com/503259/
[14:53] <mobasher> undecim: yes
[14:53] <researcher123> erfolg: but  will my ealier drives will b visible from live CD
[14:54] <martez89> is it safe to make a new partition on the hard disk the OS is installed on?
[14:54] <pksadiq> researcher123 , sure
[14:54] <researcher123> I cant c them why
[14:54] <DroYeR> pksadiq The error that I appeared to install ubuntu netbook remix 10.04, you know how to fix?
[14:54] <researcher123> yes I can see them all.Now what next could be done
[14:54] <erfolg> researcher123: yes. you can access them from the live cd. you have to mount them. then you can take the data you need and transfer it to an external harddrive or something.
[14:54] <undecim> mobasher: I think "ls -alR | md5sum > somefile" should suffice.
[14:54] <reggi> hey folks does ubuntu have a 'device manager' with a list of all the hardware devices listed?
[14:54] <dax2112rush1> Hi all, updatedb.mlocale is currently running and my system is highly unresponsive, however iotop shows priority idle. What could be wront?
[14:55] <pksadiq> DroYer, I'm afraid I'm not experianced in Notebooks or Laps
[14:55] <mobasher> undecim: thanks let me give it a shot and see if it works
[14:55] <DroYeR> :(
[14:55] <DroYeR> Hello, you know how to fix the boot error for the aspire one, acer-wmi: Unable to detect devices wmId avaiable?
[14:55] <seidos> reggi, the closest thing i can think of is lsmod and lshw
[14:55] <erfolg> researcher123: i.e. copy your home folder to an external drive so you can copy files back over to your new install.
[14:55] <undecim> mobasher: You should note that if the contents of a file changes, but not its size and modify time, that the md5 will not change.
[14:55] <pksadiq> DroYer , Let me try ?
[14:55] <martez89> can anyone uberhaupt hear me?
[14:56] <researcher123> erfolg: ok.im trying
[14:56] <reggi> ooh that's cool seidos
[14:56] <reggi> thanks
[14:56] <undecim> mobasher: It would still be possible for someone to modify a file without changing the modify time...
[14:56] <erfolg> martez89: bist du deutsch?
[14:56] <DroYeR> pksadiq ok
[14:56] <martez89> erfolg, no i am dutch :P

[14:56] <researcher123> how do I know in which partition to install the new 9.1
[14:56] <Mix|Work> on system startup
[14:56] <erfolg> martez 89: cool.
[14:56] <Mix|Work> is it sysvconfig to do that?
[14:56] <mobasher> undecim: nope that didn't work...i don't md5 is the right one ..i need cksum
[14:57] <pksadiq> DroYer , after you get the Error Does ubuntu Freezes? Are you on it now>
[14:57] <pksadiq> DroYer , after you get the Error Does ubuntu Freezes? Are you on it now?
[14:57] <martez89> erfolg, no because i asked a couple of things but i didnt get any response
[14:57] <undecim> mobasher: Then replace md5sum with cksum
[14:57] <st__> mobasher, crc32 then
[14:57] <DroYeR> pksadiq It goes directly to the desktop
[14:57] <erfolg> researcher123: i would suggest installing 10.04 or 10.10 but in the installer just tell it to use the entire disk. be sure you backed up any files that you need though.
[14:57] <mobasher> st__: the command is cksum
[14:57] <reggi> hey folks, somehow I have lost my laptop's wired network adapter
[14:57] <maedox> Mix|Work: just add it to /etc/rc.local
[14:58] <erfolg> martez89: what were you wondering? i don't see everybody on here at times.
[14:58] <Mix|Work> add it above exit 0?
[14:58] <mobasher> i have been able to create a cksum..but i need listing with permissions showing and dates like (ls -ltraR + cksum)
[14:58] <martez89> i want to do a fresh ubuntu install but i don't want to lose 270gb of movies (the rest of my files have a back up)
[14:58] <andybiker> Is there a zorin chatroom?
[14:59] <martez89> should i make a partition with those files on it?
[14:59] <erfolg> martez89: how big is your harddrive?
[14:59] <martez89> erfolg, 500gb
[14:59] <DroYeR> pksadiq Google've seen all the error put in blacklist, it will be because there is still no solution?
[14:59] <pksadiq> DrYer, What is then the actual problem?
[14:59] <martez89> erfolg, all of my eternal hdd are full
[14:59] <Rohanc> http://paste.ubuntu.com/503259/
[14:59] <pksadiq> DroYer, What is then the actual problem?
[14:59] <undecim> mobasher:  Oh, perhaps I misunderstood you. You need a cksum of each individual file?
[14:59] <maedox> Mix|Work: yes
[14:59] <Osmosis>   hi, somebody know a way to accept by console the step that i have to follow of an aplication that i want to install
[14:59] <Osmosis>     the dpkg is blocked until accept the program steps
[14:59] <jappiecr> I installed Italc in edubuntu 10.04 ltsp environment (Tried both ltsp and server-only install!) while I was logged in as administrator. Everything works fine when am logged in as admin. But when I login as one of the teachers (or any other user) Italc tells me there no password found (?) and something with ICA. I tried the documentation but couldn't figure it out. The idea is that all teachers can login with their own account and then start using Italc
[14:59] <jappiecr> ..
 . Any ideas? Please help!
[14:59] <jappiecr> ps...I reinstalled Server-only install now ..
[14:59] <FloodBot4> jappiecr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:00] <Esat> Which dictionary software doesnt need to connect  to internet to translate?
[15:00] <st__> jappiecr, use their mail list
[15:00] <DroYeR> pksadiq As the problem is that this error comes out and does not load properly with the loading icon
[15:00] <llutz> Esat: dict
[15:00] <erfolg> martez89: i would delete everything off of that partition except those movies, then shorten it to the 270 gigs, then install ubuntu in the free space.
[15:00] <undecim> mobasher: So line, one like for example could be "-rw-r--r--  1 undecim undecim<PHONE_NUMBER>-09-21 17:58 /home/mobasher/.bashrc<PHONE_NUMBER> 4047312" ?
[15:00] <Esat> llutz, how can i download it?
[15:01] <jappiecr> st_, will do!
[15:01] <llutz> Esat: sudo aptitude install dict (+dictionaries you need)
[15:01] <pksadiq> DroYer , Does ubuntu load untill the Desktop, and are U trying to say That there is irregularities in icons?
[15:02] <martez89> erfolg: that partition does not exist jet. I just installed gparted and i was wondering how i make the partition.
[15:02] <st__> Esat, also don't forget that most dictionaries are pirated and in rpm format
[15:02] <martez89> jet=yet
[15:02] <erfolg> martez89: first off you'll need to be booted in from a live cd.
[15:02] <DrPoO> hi
[15:02] <mobasher> undecim: yes exactly with checksum
[15:02] <DroYeR> pksadiq directly turn on the netbook out the error and loads the desktop,...
[15:03] <erfolg> martez89: then delete everything except your movies from the partition that exists now.
[15:03] <martez89> erfolg: i just copied an iso to a usb stick (ubuntu 10.10 rc)
[15:03] <glaucous> sudo grub-install /dev/sdc returns "cannot find a device for /boot/grub"
[15:03] <erfolg> martez89: ok. same thing then. the live cd actually has gparted installed.
[15:03] <erfolg> martez89: or liveusb in your case
[15:04] <st__> mobasher, use awk to combine ls line and checksum, or write the program in ython or something
[15:04] <martez89> erfolg, ok thanks i will do that
[15:04] <DrPoO> how do i add a program to run from start?
[15:04] <Esat> llutz,  i run "sudo aptitude install disc" command on terminal, it is downloading. how can i download other packages which i need?
[15:04] <undecim> mobasher: Okay, I understand what you want then... 1 sec.
[15:04] <erfolg> martez89: try to move it to the end of the drive if you can
[15:04] <DroYeR> glaucous ?
[15:04] <sacarlson> DrPoO: from boot?
[15:04] <erfolg> martez89: just seems nicer if ubuntu is at the beginning of the drive.
[15:04] <DrPoO> sacarlson, yup
[15:04] <st__> Esat, then steal some dictionaries to it
[15:04] <pksadiq> DroYer , :0 CAn't get your problem, sorry
[15:04] <martez89> efolg, the movie partition at the end you mean?
[15:04] <glebihan> glaucous: use the --root-directory option to set where the root of your installed filesystem is mounted
[15:04] <st__> Esat, you may need alien package to convert it
[15:05] <erfolg> martez89: yeah.
[15:05] <bazhang> st__, dont recommend piracy here.
[15:05] <sacarlson> DrPoO: my prefered method is cron
[15:05] <martez89> erfolg, I will ;)
[15:05] <DroYeR> pksadiq no problem, thanks
[15:05] <glaucous> glebihan, okay, testing it
[15:05] <erfolg> martez89: then install ubuntu to the free space
[15:05] <llutz> Esat: sorry, my bad, "ding" is what i meant, not dict (dict needs server)
[15:05] <erfolg> martez89: at the beginning.
[15:05] <DrPoO> sacarlson, what i want to have running is a service
[15:05] <martez89> erfolg, thanks and i will see you on the other side :P
[15:05] <llutz> Esat: sudo aptitude install ding

[15:07] <glaucous> glebihan, seems to work, do I have to uninstall grub from my other drive?
[15:07] <glebihan> glaucous: not necessary, but you can if you want to
[15:08] <undecim> mobasher: alright, I've almost got it, but I'm having a problem with newlines, so give me another minute...
[15:08] <Rohanc> thanks glebihan. I cannot start my "Synaptic Package Manager".. it gives me error like this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503259/  it is due to vlc i think
[15:08] <Esat> llutz, there is a blank screen here and a few packages. which one do i  need to install?
[15:08] <llutz> Esat: sudo aptitude install ding
[15:08] <mobasher> undecim: k no worries
[15:08] <Esat> llutz,  already
[15:08] <glaucous> glebihan, mkay, now how do I run update-grub on my new drive?
[15:08] <Esat> i m there
[15:08] <DroYeR> Hello, you know how to fix the boot error for the aspire one, acer-wmi: Unable to detect devices wmId avaiable?
[15:09] <under> http://paste.linuxassist.net/215434 -> What wrong?
[15:09] <glaucous> glebihan, doubt I can boot as it is now, since grub is new-installed?
[15:09] <erfolg> DroYeR: sounds like you need to reformat.
[15:09] <glebihan> glaucous: I think it should work
[15:10] <glaucous> glebihan, okay, trying it
[15:10] <glebihan> glaucous: let me know if it's ok
[15:10] <DroYeR> erfolg already I formatted and continues leaving

[15:10] <glebihan> Rohanc: did you check your software sources as suggested in the error message ?
[15:10] <llutz> Esat: what language?
[15:10] <Inferus> how do you get CUPS to record windows username pls?
[15:10] <LjL> Esat: then maybe you should have specified that :P
[15:11] <Esat> i search one word what mean on other language

[15:11] <Rohanc> glebhian.. I struck with that, I dont know how to check
[15:12] <GHH> Is it possible to install Wimax internet usb modem?
[15:12] <Rohanc> could u give me directions?
[15:12] <Rohanc> I've installed ubuntu yesterday only..
[15:12] <undecim> mobasher: Okay, the ls command is causing problems, but I can fix that by using stat instead. What file info do you need? Anything other than permissions, filename, and checksum?
[15:12] <GHH> Is it possible to install Wimax internet usb modem?
[15:12] <glebihan> Rohanc: run "software-properties-gtk"
[15:13] <mobasher> undecim: dates and permissions will do
[15:13] <GHH> Is it possible to install Wimax internet usb modem?
[15:14] <Rohanc> glebihan now it opened up a window
[15:14] <Rohanc> what do I do ?
[15:15] <glebihan> Rohanc: ok, go to the  "Other software" tab
[15:15] <glebihan> Rohanc: and remove the lines containing "ferramroberto"
[15:16] <Rohanc> yeah.. i'm on that tab now.. and I didn't see any line containing that..
[15:16] <glebihan> Rohanc: then could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
[15:17] <glebihan> !paste | Rohanc

[15:17] <GHH> Is it possible to install Wimax internet usb modem?
[15:17] <st__> what was this?
[15:18] <undecim> mobasher: Alright, this should do the trick: find . \! -type p \! -type d -exec sh -c "stat -c '%A %y' \"{}\" | tr '\n' ' '; cksum \"{}\";" \; >> check.out
[15:18] <undecim> mobasher: I made sure it worked with filenames with spaces and special chars as well.
[15:18]  * GHH none here to reply of my questions?
[15:18] <N-Tech> Hello, Im having a problem when I start up my computer.. it says Undefined video mode number 317.. and then i have to choose manually the right mode.. I have searched google.. no help really
[15:18] <Rohanc> this is my /etc/apt/sources.list file - http://paste.ubuntu.com/503287/
[15:19] <talas> GHH, what did you try and what did you get?
[15:19] <mobasher> undecim: i think we can use something like    find / -type p \ -exec ls -ltraR {} \; - exec cksum {} \; >>newfile.out
[15:19] <glaucous> glebihan, seems like its still booting from my other drive, even though I choose my new drive in boot menu
[15:19] <undecim> mobasher: Well, the ls command will print the filename twice.
[15:20] <undecim> mobasher: The ls will print it once, and the checksum a second time
[15:20] <GHH> talas, I did not tried to install it because i do not know how
[15:20] <glebihan> glaucous: well there I don't know, it's something in your bios
[15:21] <mobasher> undecim: yea that didn't work...i know it's in find command for sure...this is a freaky little tool
[15:21] <undecim> mobasher: The line I posted didn't work?
[15:22] <oonh> nvidia on maverick beta help?
[15:22] <undecim> mobasher: When I tried it, I got lines like "-rw-r--r-- 2010-09-15 10:06:13.000000000 633956173 1567 ./path/to/file.jpg"
[15:22] <glebihan> Rohanc: run "sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*", then "sudo apt-get update"
[15:22] <sivis> err
[15:22] <sivis> hi
[15:22] <sarmisak> hi
[15:22] <krabador> oonh: go to #ubuntu+1
[15:23] <sivis> can i ask for some help here? +)
[15:23] <oonh> thanks
[15:23] <sarmisak> sivis, go ahead
[15:23] <glaucous> glebihan, highly doubt that
[15:23] <undecim> sivis: Ask away, and if anyone can help you, they will just right in with their advice.
[15:23] <talas> GHH, seems theres a package named 'madwimax' in the repos..
[15:23] <sivis> well, i've got dual boot right now,win 7 + ubuntu 10.04
[15:23] <glebihan> glaucous: well grub doesn't choose which drive the computer boots from
[15:23] <talas> GHH, does it support your device?
[15:23] <sivis> problem is, i've also got Raid 0 with 2 disks
[15:24] <GHH> talas, i am using old version
[15:24] <sivis> in ububntu whenever i use dmraid -ay on reboot windows do not recognize raid
[15:24] <glaucous> glebihan, of course. I could try removing the other drive and see what happens, even though  /home is still on it
[15:24] <sivis> i have managed to restore raid once
[15:24] <sivis> but now windows don't see it again
[15:24] <talas> GHH,old ubuntu version or old device version or old driver version?
[15:25] <glebihan> glaucous: that could at least give an idea of the problem
[15:25] <GHH> talas, old ubuntu version
[15:25] <GHH> talas, old ubuntu version 9
[15:25] <st__> where is my floppy?
[15:26] <sacarlson> st__: it's that small hole in the front
[15:26] <talas> GHH, you know you can upgrade to 10.04 with update manager, right?
[15:26] <sivis> arr damn
[15:26] <sacarlson> st__: and it's not the one on that girl you paid for
[15:26] <GHH> talas, yeah but problem my internet is too slow
[15:26] <Rohanc> thanks a lot glebihan .. now i can open Syn pack. manager.. but now what happened to my VLC player? it says coulcnot launch - Failed to execute child process "vlc" (No such file or directory)
[15:26] <st__> GRRRRR i put it in but cannot see it anywhere, does it mounted automatically?
[15:26] <GHH> talas, that is why i am trying to use wimax
[15:27] <rumpsy> internt slow !, maybe the provider problem
[15:27]  * glebihan wonders who still uses floppy disks
[15:27] <sacarlson> st__: it should mount in /media
[15:27] <undecim> sivis: So both OSs are on non-raid disks and boot, but only one of them can see the RAID at a time?
[15:27] <st__> why, I do
[15:27] <glebihan> Rohanc: yes the error message you were getting was coming from something related to vlc, reinstall it
[15:27] <st__> there 's only cdrom in media
[15:28] <st__> should udisks take car of this?
[15:28] <sacarlson> st__: I'm not sure flopy will auto mount
[15:28] <glaucous> glebihan, well it boots.. to menu and boots ubuntu, although it says that there are missing modules. and ALERT! dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID of my other disabled drive] does not exist.
[15:28] <Rohanc> glebihan could u please tell me how do I install the latest version of VLC ? i.e. 1.1.4 not 1.0.6 that comes from syn. pack. manager
[15:29] <flavetius3> che differenza c'è tra DSL Connection e Auto eth0? perché io prima con le altre versioni di ubuntu quando mi connettevo automaticamente il sistema si connetteva in autho eth0 e potevo condividere i file anche con gli altri pc della rete, ora solo con DSL connection posso navigare, ma così facendo non posso più condividere niente come posso fare a reimpostare auto eth0?
[15:29] <glaucous> glaucous, but there's only /home on that drive, there shouldnt be any modules?
[15:29] <mobasher> undecim: yea i know what you mean..it's painful
[15:29] <undecim> mobasher: You still there?
[15:29] <rww> !it | flavetius3
[15:29] <st__> glaucous, probably there's wrong UUID in fstab
[15:29] <mobasher> undecim: yeap still here :)
[15:29] <st__> glaucous, or in frub
[15:29] <undecim> mobasher: Did the line I posted work like you needed?
[15:30] <flavetius3> When I try to connect with auto eth0 the system no do in automatic, what can I configure to active it?
[15:30] <glaucous> st__, I did copy the partition from one drive and to another, I then changed the UUID of my copied partition on my new drive to avoid any problems. I did change the fstab file to the new UUID though
[15:30] <glebihan> Rohanc: I'm looking at it
[15:30] <st__> ahem I typed mount /dev/fd/0 and it says no entry in fstab
[15:30] <mobasher> undecim: seems like it..what's the command let me test it
[15:30] <warred> good day/nite
[15:30] <Rohanc> I'll wait glebihan.. thanks
[15:31] <warred> hello to everyone
[15:31] <undecim> mobasher: find . \! -type p \! -type d -exec sh -c "stat -c '%A %y' \"{}\" | tr '\n' ' '; cksum \"{}\";" \; >> check.out
[15:31] <sacarlson> st__: I think you need to add a mount point if not in fstab
[15:31] <nozes> bom dia!
[15:31] <warred> i need something of help related to grub, i've searched but cant find certain answer, can someone help me?
[15:32] <undecim> st__: You need to either add a line in fstab or specify a mount point.
[15:32] <sacarlson> warred: maybe?
[15:32] <talas> GHH, seems the madwimax package is in lucid only.. you could ofcourse go here and fiddle with it: http://code.google.com/p/madwimax/downloads/list
[15:32] <st__> which is correct line for floppies?
[15:32] <talas> GHH, I however think that getting a newer version of ubuntu first is a better idea
[15:32] <cinnabarisland12> hey guys, running 10.10 Beta here, how can I upgrade to the RC?
[15:32] <mobasher> undecim: yea your command is fine..but seems like this sunos system is not liking the stat command..lmao
[15:32] <glebihan> Rohanc: run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc", then "sudo apt-get update"
[15:33] <undecim> mobasher: Ahh, this is a non-Ubuntu machine?
[15:33] <GHH> talas, yeah,,,,, But problem is Net speed. I will upgrade it after get the wimax connection
[15:33] <glebihan> Rohanc: version 1.1.4 should then be available
[15:34] <cinnabarisland12> running 10.10 beta how do I get the Release Candidate?
[15:34] <warred> how i delete grub from a partition. I have 2 grubs but i just want one, what should i do?
[15:34] <Rohanc> it is processing now.. let you know when it is done..
[15:34] <mobasher> undecim: yea unfortunately...sunos server 10
[15:34] <mobasher> no worries i'm closing i think i got it now
[15:34] <glebihan> cinnabarisland12: you don't have to get it, just run "sudo apt-get upgrade", and maverick support on #ubuntu+1
[15:34] <undecim> mobasher: Well, the stat command just ouputs the permissions and the modification time. Figure out what command on yours does similar and you can just replace that part of the command.
[15:34] <sacarlson> warred: well you only boot one so keep the other as a backup if your other disk fails
[15:34] <mobasher> undecim: i think i'll figure the rest out thanks for your help though
[15:35] <st__> what should I write to fstab for floppy disk?
[15:35] <warred> sacarlson: but how i set this because i have sata disk
[15:35] <glaucous> glebihan, I'm just gonna re-install Ubuntu correctly, I have a feeling this might bring even more problems right now
[15:36] <GHH> talas, that will 100% work?
[15:36] <glebihan> glaucous: ok, good luck then
[15:36] <sacarlson> warred: well I guess your bios will be the point that picks what boots first
[15:36] <sacarlson> warred: normaly default is /dev/sda1
[15:37] <GHH> talas, it is a dongel modem . Default windows software with it .
[15:37] <talas> GHH, I can't guarantee anything.. never used wimax and don't know who's making the driver either..
[15:37] <warred> sacarlson: yeap i have the sys. at /dev/sdb5
[15:37] <glebihan> Rohanc: still there ?
[15:37] <GHH> talas, also i currently using USB modem for internet
[15:37] <Rohanc> yes.. now I ran "sudo apt-get install vlc"
[15:37] <adac> Is it planned to support openvz for Ubuntu 10.04??
[15:37] <Rohanc> it is now downloading
[15:37] <sacarlson> warred: is that the root or the grub point
[15:38] <glaucous> glebihan, I forgot, what was the command to get all partition UUIDs?
[15:38] <sarmisak> blkid
[15:38] <glebihan> glaucous: blkid
[15:38] <glaucous> glebihan, sarmisak, thanks
[15:38] <delinquentme> anyone know how ot get the default ubuntu search tool to searching WITHIN hidden files?
[15:38] <warred> sacarlson: let me check fstab to see maybe I'm wrong with the partition
 yeah, and it seems like dmraid crashes raid on windows
[15:39] <Rohanc> I think it takes sometime to download, as my download speed is around 60KBPS
[15:39] <sivis> undecim: yeah, and it seems like dmraid crashes raid on windows
[15:39] <sacarlson> warred: I think normaly the bios only looks at the first few sectors of a disk for boot.  no fstab won't point to grub start
[15:40] <ugliefrog> can someone assit me with some sound issues.....My sound on mythbuntu wont play during live tv and vlc pvr mode doesnt have any sound either...everywhere else i h ave sound..how can i pinpoint the problem
[15:40] <sacarlson> warred: I could be wrong maybe bios can point to a patition inside a disk?
[15:40] <w0_> I just installed apache2 on my ubuntu desktop, and I cannot connect form the outside, is there a blocked port or something?? much thx
[15:40] <dajhorn> The BIOS only reads the first sector during boot.  Nothing more.
[15:40] <glebihan> Rohanc: ok nice
[15:41] <sacarlson> dajhorn: thank for that.  that's what I thought
[15:41] <Benkinooby> hi, i pretty much crippled my ubuntu in every way(packages, scripts, config, ...). i was planning to wait with reinstall until 10.10 but then it came to my mind, that this is my only productive system and i need a relieable OS. how trustworthy are the ubuntu after their release? or should i stay/reinstall with 10.04?
[15:41] <glebihan> Rohanc: I hadn't seen your messages, try keeping with mentioning the nick of who you're talking to
[15:41] <dajhorn> sacarlson: Welcome.
[15:42] <Benkinooby> delinquentme, what do you mean by default search tool? the one in nautlius?
[15:42] <warred> sacarlson: well any way, theres a way to hide/delete the grub at first disk?
[15:42] <sacarlson> warred: so you can't point bios at /dev/sda5 then only sda
[15:42] <Rohanc> glebhian: after that I ran "sudo apt-get install vlc" it is taking time to download
[15:42] <delinquentme> app > acessories > Search for Files..
[15:42] <sacarlson> warred:  or sdb
[15:42] <delinquentme> Benkinooby, ^
[15:42] <warred> sacarlson: well i checked, and its sdb1 the system
[15:43] <warred> no sdb5
[15:43] <Rohanc> glebihan: sorry I didn't know that, I'll mention ur name from now onwards
[15:43] <warred> my wrong
[15:43] <ugliefrog> *can someone assit me with some sound issues.....My sound on mythtv wont play during live tv and vlc pvr mode doesnt have any sound either...everywhere else i h ave sound..how can i pinpoint the problem
[15:43] <Benkinooby> delinquentme, ?
[15:44] <sacarlson> warred: you can't hide or move the boot partition only change the drive
[15:45] <delinquentme> Benkinooby, natuilus is like the GUI right? ... applications > Accessories > search for files ... is the search im asking about
[15:45] <sacarlson> warred:  but there is chaining
[15:45] <delinquentme> Benkinooby, so i think the answer to your question is yes
[15:45] <warred> scarlson: so for change disks of cable will be now sda the sdb disk?
[15:46] <Rohanc> glebihan: it is still on.. at 35% completion of downloading
[15:46] <glebihan> Rohanc: wow! what download speed are you getting ?
[15:46] <warred> i mean linux set sda or sdb depending in wich cable are at?
[15:47] <sacarlson> warred: move the disk physical cable position? the patition will still boot with uuid but the boot partition will move
[15:47] <warred> *which
[15:47] <Benkinooby> delinquentme, hmm..not sure. but the answer to you question is, click on "select more options" and the "available options" and then "show hidden and packup files"
[15:47] <Rohanc> glebihan: my official ISP speed is 512kbps, here in the terminal window it shows 64KB/sec
[15:47] <Rohanc> glebihan: u mean it is slow or fast?
[15:48] <warred> sacarlson: well brb will restart
[15:48] <glebihan> Rohanc: quite slow... but as long as it works
[15:48] <andybiker> Any Zorin users here?
[15:49] <annaki2321> hi.. maybe someone can help me.. somebody has been trying to remotely control my pc for the past week.. i always say refuse.. how can that be?
[15:49] <Benkinooby> delinquentme, i have 2 "search-tools" in my menu. one is "search for files" and the other "search for files and folders". if you use the first one, follow the instrcutions i gave you. if you have the second one, there should be a small checkbox for "show hidden files" in the left lower corner
[15:49] <Rohanc> glebihan: yeah.. that type of speed is quite common in India... now at 45%
[15:50] <andybiker> annaki2321, usualy you have to give permission to someone, and then it is only short term. sounds like your firewall needs beefing up
[15:51] <glebihan> Rohanc: getting so quickly used to download at about 2MB/s ;)
[15:51] <annaki2321> andybiker: true.. but how can they know my ip addy.. mac addy.. etc? to try and connect?
[15:51] <AVerTV> i have a Pentium III  750 MHz  256MB RAM running Ubuntu lucid. Everything worked ok but it was very slow running Gnome so i installed fluxbox and now everything works ok except my AverMedia AVerTV Volar Black HD (A850) which is a TDT USB device. It actually kinda works under gnome but the picture is a bit jerky and i lose audio within 20 seconds of running kaffeine. Can anyone help me?
[15:51] <AVerTV> http://pastebin.com/ET5tFUUV
[15:51] <andybiker> hacking?
[15:51] <israfil> hello
[15:51] <israfil> i've got one question
[15:51] <greppy> AVerTV: upgrade your hardware would be my guess.
[15:51] <glebihan> !ask | israfil
[15:51] <AVerTV> on a fluxbox  session dmesg shows no errors but Kaffeine says: "device not connected"
[15:52] <annaki2321> andybiker: might it be thru my wifi router or just remotely?
[15:52] <Rohanc> glebihan: Lucky you :))
[15:52] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, do you have any sound under fluxbox?
[15:52] <warred> well I back
[15:53] <AVerTV> greppy, the AVerTV Volar Black HD (A850) works ok on XP on the same hardware. NO, i do not have windows myself.
[15:53] <sacarlson> AVerTV: I think xbuntu might be better for that kind of system
[15:53] <israfil> i installed KDevelop 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 (or was ist 4.0.2?) on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx but i think the debugger is not working already. Am i right? What program could i use instead?
[15:53] <andybiker> annaki2321, could be your router and wireless is not very secure. Check your router password isn't too simple and change your wireless password
[15:53] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, yes maybe give xubuntu a shot or even luxbuntu wich is a biss slimmer tha xubuntu
[15:54] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, yes i do have sound
[15:54] <glebihan> Rohanc: hehe, but was still using a 56kpbs connection not that long ago...
[15:54] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, yes i do have sound on fluxbox
[15:54] <annaki2321> andybiker: my wifi router has no password at the moment.. i keep checking the connection status and only my 2 computers are connected to it..
[15:54] <andybiker> Get your passwords setup you fool!
[15:55] <andybiker> anybody can join at any time
[15:55] <Rohanc> glebihan: I wonder how to install apps in ubuntu in offline mode? take for example VLC alone.. yeah but terminal window downloads at a slow speed - half of it 30KB/sec now
[15:55] <annaki2321> is there a way someone would hide it from me seeing it?
[15:55] <andybiker> If you let them control the system, then yes
[15:55] <Rohanc> still on .. at 57% completion
[15:55] <warred> sacarlson: hello again, i was thinking if i cant delete the grub from sda. there's a way to change it because the sda grub is damaged so how can I mod or correct the sda grub?
[15:56] <glebihan> Rohanc: if you download the package, you can install it using gdebi, or gdebi-gtk for a gui
[15:56] <glebihan> Rohanc: "dpkg -i" can also be used
[15:56] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, xubuntu and lubruntu are lighter because they do NOT have gnome or kde. That is excatly my case, i do not run gnome, i run fluxbox which is lighter than xfce and lxde
[15:57] <Rohanc> glebihan: could u give me a link for the package of VLC ubuntu one? and what is "dpkg -i" &what does it do?
[15:57] <andybiker> annaki2321, http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.sharp3/Router.html, read the bottom section especially!
[15:58] <Benkinooby> AVerTV, oh, i understood, that it's working under gnome very slow and under fluxbox not at all. so my assuption was, that gnome is starting some services wich you are missing under fluxbox
[15:58] <glebihan> Rohanc: you can find all the needed packages there : https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc/+build/1960006
[15:58] <AVerTV> Benkinooby, i think you are right
