[16:44] <DasEi> chicognu: looks like not properly chroot'ed; story is dualboot, first installed ubu, then win, now grub is gone ?
[16:44] <ciss> hi
[16:44] <acbalingit> hello
[16:44] <KM0201> glicks: well, thats pretty irrelevant...
[16:45] <DasEi> chicognu: ?
[16:45] <chicognu> DasEi, it is not chroot .. yes, ubuntu then win and grub is gone
[16:45] <ciss> addgroup allows to either create a user group or a system group. what is the difference between the two, beside their guid ranges?
[16:45] <rabcnesbitt> Is there not a ext3 Quick format (same as xp quick/slow format)
[16:45] <glicks> KM0201, im just saying i wish ubuntu had something similar
[16:45] <sacarlson> riktking: if the router is no longer the dhcp then you ubuntu server will have to provide the dhcp server and be setup as a static ip that points to the router as the gateway to the internet
[16:45] <KM0201> glicks: well, i wish suse didn't suck.. so i guess we all wish for something. :)
[16:45] <Choons> Hey guys. Kinda odd question: I just accidentally deleted the partition table on my laptop. It is imperative that I retrieve this. I've tried Gpart (no luck.) anyone know what I could do? Perhaps use dd to find the mbr? But I wouldn't know where to look.   Im with the live cd to my architecture type. x64
[16:47] <KM0201> Choons: nothing that doesn't involve me laughing and swearing at how you could be paying so little attention
[16:48] <Choons> KM0201: Fair enough.
[16:48] <DasEi> chicognu: you are in live now ?
[16:48] <aleloren> #Stud.IP
[16:48] <chicognu> DasEi, yes
[16:48] <DasEi> chicognu:k, open terminal
[16:48] <chicognu> ok
[16:48] <DasEi> chicognu:sudo -s
[16:48] <KM0201> ..
[16:48] <nikitis> What's the library files for opencl?
[16:48] <DasEi> chicognu:umount -a
[16:48] <nikitis> called
[16:48] <chicognu> ok
[16:48] <DasEi> chicognu:press  ctrl+d
[16:49] <DasEi> press*
[16:49] <joeyjones> Choons: i'd suggest you backup everything now :p
[16:49] <chicognu> DasEi, nices shortcuts
[16:49] <geojanm> hi@ all who know a software to set up a proxy server supporting livecompression of the requested sites
[16:49] <KM0201> joeyjones: lmao
[16:49] <chicognu> ?D
[16:49] <DasEi> chicognu: fdisk -l
[16:49] <chicognu> :D
[16:49] <BajK_> where do i see the file system a usb stick is formatted withß
[16:49] <DasEi> chicognu: which /dev  is your root ?
[16:49] <geojanm> i know ziproxy, but can't get this working due to bad manual
[16:49] <BajK_> thx got it.
[16:49] <flossk> Is 60hz bad for my eyes ? screen resolution 1024 X 768
[16:50] <BajK_> (stupid that it is not shown in properties dialog)
[16:50] <Choons> joeyjones: Yea I would like to :] But I have to recover these partitions... There must be a record of partition delimiters somewhere on my drive. I'm using dd atm to browse the filesystems raw (which is working to some extent)
[16:50] <DasEi> flossk: lcd ?
[16:50] <chicognu> DasEi, nothing show in fdisk -l
[16:50] <joeyjones> Choons: did you reboot already?
[16:50] <flossk> DasEi, Yes
[16:50] <flossk> I am using a laptop
[16:50] <DasEi> chicognu: l= lower L
[16:50] <DasEi> flossk: ok for that
[16:50] <joeyjones> Choons: maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[16:50] <dwalker> I'll take another stab at this, anyone here familiar with using mkisofs?
[16:50] <DasEi> chicognu: fdisk -l  as root
[16:51] <chicognu> DasEi, by root you mean the partition where my ubuntu are installed ?
[16:51] <flossk> DasEi, My eyes started to hurt a bit I was thinking that, that could be the reason
[16:51] <chicognu> DasEi, if so, it is sda7
[16:51] <DasEi> chicognu: sda7 is your root partition, and in terminal you are logged in as root
[16:51] <genii-around> BajK_: I'm pretty sure you can also fdisk a dd image file as if it were the drive. So sudo fdisk -l whatever.img   or so works and tells you the old partition table
[16:52] <Choons> joeyjones: Yeah I did. I hadn't instructed gparted to apply any changes, so I assumed it hadn't actually done anything
[16:52] <chicognu> DasEi, I don`t get what you mean
[16:52] <DasEi> flossk: it's the under border, but lcds don't flicker as early as crt
[16:52] <Choons> joeyjones: But yea, I suppose that was a little stupid
[16:52] <chicognu> DasEi, I don`t get what you mean ~and in terminal you are logged in~
[16:52] <CheBuzz_Home> How can I see what service are set to start at boot time?
[16:52] <DasEi> chicognu: you are logged in as root
[16:52] <chicognu> yes
[16:52] <joeyjones> Choons: GUI apps often don't ask for confirmation like CLI apps do :p
[16:53] <joeyjones> Choons: did you have multiple partitions, or only 1?
[16:53] <bonjoyee> how can set a different LD_LIBRARY_PATH only for apps under /usr/local/bin...?
[16:53] <DasEi> chicognu: fine so, is there a seperate /boot in your linux install (full disk encryption ?)
[16:53] <chicognu> DasEi, I mean no ... I get root in the terminal emulator
[16:53] <joeyjones> Choons: you can try to guess your partition start/end...
[16:53] <tekhneek> what does cron run as? I'm trying to execute PHP scripts and I need to make sure they have the proper permissions
[16:53] <chicognu> DasEi, yes
[16:53] <Choons> joeyjones: I had about 6 partitions ;)
[16:53] <joeyjones> tekhneek: they run as what you set it as
[16:53] <DasEi> chicognu: and which parti is that ?
[16:53] <Choons> joeyjones: otherwise it would be plain sailing
[16:53] <bonjoyee> i.e whenever i start an app in /usr/local/bin this LD_LIBRARY_PATH shud be used...
[16:54] <joeyjones> tekhneek: each user has a seperate crontab
[16:54] <chicognu> DasEi, the boot partition is /dev/ds5
[16:54] <CheBuzz_Home> What commandline utility can I use to see what services are set to start on boot?
[16:54] <DasEi> chicognu: /dev/sda5
[16:54] <chicognu> ys sda5
[16:54] <tekhneek> joeyjones: as what I set it as? I just want to make sure my scripts run as root, is there an easy way to do taht?
[16:54] <joeyjones> Choons: well, you might as well try to guess your main partitions and re-build.  it sounce like it's a hopeless battle uphill at this point
[16:54] <DasEi> chicognu: which distro ?
[16:55] <jona__> ola
[16:55] <chicognu> DasEi, ubuntu lts 10.4
[16:55] <joeyjones> tekhneek: each user has a seperate crontab, so if you added it as root it will run as root
[16:55] <DasEi> chicognu: gedit /etc/fstab
[16:55] <DasEi> chicognu: sorry
[16:55] <commodore> fuck you.
[16:55] <DasEi> chicognu: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:55] <Jemt> How can I find the actual name of a GUI application, if I want to start it from a command line ?
[16:55] <KM0201> lol
[16:55] <chicognu> DasEi,  ok
[16:56] <joeyjones> Jemt: google or guess it for starters
[16:56] <DasEi> chicognu: enable partner repos (delete the # in front of that 2 lines)
[16:56] <joeyjones> Choons: i really hope you didn't mount the drive as rw...
[16:56] <Jemt> joeyjones: That could take some time when I need names for more than 100 applications :)
[16:56] <DasEi> chicognu: save sources, close gedit
[16:56] <bonjoyee> Jemt: check the application name in the launcher..
[16:57] <DasEi> chicognu: apt-get update
[16:57] <Jemt> bonjoyee: Thanks, but this is an applet in the panel. But perhaps I can access some properties of sort
[16:57] <CheBuzz_Home> Anybody willing to help?  What commandline utility can I use to see what services are set to start on boot?
[16:57] <chicognu> DasEi, there is no comment repository in source list
[16:57] <error_203> verne:  ?
[16:57] <Choons> joeyjones: Not to my knowledge; I disabled swap in the live system I'm on now. Running testdisk
[16:57] <DasEi> chicognu: leave it then, we will see if we get what we need
[16:57] <DasEi> chicognu: apt-get update
[16:57] <zroysch1> CheBuzz_Home: is there something wrong with System/Preferences/Startup Apps
[16:58] <joeyjones> Choons: make sure it won't mount as rw, oryou're totally hooped
[16:58] <Choons> joeyjones: To make things worse: I'm miles from a stable internet connection; connecting through my phone
[16:58] <chicognu> DasEi, ok
[16:58] <joeyjones> damn
[16:58] <zroysch1> i just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and my laptop. i transferred the .purple config files for pidgin from the desktop to the laptop through the cat5 LAN. Is this an acceptable transfer rate? it seems incredibly slow. http://i.imgur.com/I19gt.png
[16:58] <DasEi> chicognu: might be some stuff, say yes to install
[16:58] <bonjoyee> Jemt: what applet is it?
[16:58] <Choons> joeyjones: Ahh seem to be getting somewhere with testdisk
[16:59] <Jemt> bonjoyee: Broadcast Accounts in Indicator
[16:59] <CheBuzz_Home> zroysch1: Yep, I don't have GNOME installed on this box, or any other desktop environment for that matter.
[16:59] <chicognu> DasEi, software list updated
[16:59] <DasEi> apt-get install lvm2 cryptsetup
[16:59] <DasEi> chicognu: ^
[16:59] <joeyjones> Choons: if you have a spare hdd you may want to use a tool like gddrescue to image the drive
[16:59] <chicognu> DasEi, no encrypted volume
[16:59] <geekbri> CheBuzz_Home: you could install rcconf
[17:00] <chicognu> DasEi, no encrypted volume ... just a saparated partition for /boot
[17:00] <DasEi> chicognu: pardon ? you said so ten minutes ago
[17:00] <geekbri> CheBuzz_Home: you can just sudo apt-get install rcconf
[17:00] <Roasted_> Here's a fun problem. Ubuntu 10.04. Intel wireless. Works GREAT! One day I boot up, no wireless. The fix? I have to boot up with my wireless disabled and then activate it after I'm logged back in. lol?? How can I fix this?
[17:00] <DasEi> chicognu: k..
[17:00] <geekbri> CheBuzz_Home: its an Ncurses based configuration tool  You coul dalso use sysv-rc-conf
[17:00] <bonjoyee>  Jemt: one way is to keep gnome-system-properties window open..and then launch it!!
[17:00] <Jemt> bonjoyee: I figured it out. 'xprop' can provide me the information I need
[17:00] <CheBuzz_Home> geekbri: I saw that.  Is there not a way to see with update-rc.d ?
[17:00] <DasEi> chicognu: mkdir /mnt/boot
[17:00] <Jemt> bonjoyee: It was already running. But thank you for your suggestion :)
[17:00] <Choons> joeyjones: I'm a long way from any of my spares. I've temporarily moved to South Africa so most of my gear is still in Scotland. Add to that the fact that I'm away from home in SA...
[17:00] <Choons> joeyjones: Not liking these odds at all
[17:01] <DasEi> chicognu: mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
[17:01] <DasEi> chicognu: mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
[17:01] <joeyjones> Choons: is the data mission-critical?
[17:01] <geekbri> CheBuzz_Home: if there is i dont know it off the top of my head, i generally install sysv-rc-conf :)
[17:01] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /dev  /mount/dev
[17:01] <Choons> joeyjones: Absolutely.
[17:01] <joeyjones> do you have any backups?
[17:01] <rethus1> 2010-12-16 17:53:01: (network.c.345) can't bind to port: :: 80 Address already in use
[17:02] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /proc  /mnt/proc
[17:02] <Choons> joeyjones: If I lose this stuff I can consider my life over effectively. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but it really isn't.
[17:02] <pzr11hdik56> I need swf-player. how to get?
[17:02] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /sys  /mnt/sys
[17:02] <rethus1> but apache is not running
[17:02] <rethus1> lsof -i :80 result in: http://pastebin.com/DDiBS4JV
[17:02] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /usr  /mnt/usr
[17:02] <joeyjones> Choons: if you have access to a full disk backup you could reference the partition sizes/positions to recover
[17:02] <geekbri> CheBuzz_Home: if you read the manpage for update-rc.d you'll see it says it wasn't really meant for people it was meant for package maintainers and scripts, i generally always install sysv-rc-conf
[17:02] <CheBuzz_Home> geekbri: Thanks.
[17:02] <rethus1> what the hell is this barbadine.canonical.com address?
[17:02] <DasEi> chicognu: umount  /dev
[17:02] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /dev  /mnt/dev
[17:02] <chairabanta> hi I have a nas and documents on it and I would like to index it via tracker but I don't know how do I add a samba share on tracker?
[17:03] <DasEi> chicognu: chroot /mnt
 chicognu: mount --bind /dev  /mount/dev u mean mnt/dev
[17:03] <Pici> rethus1: Do you use UbuntuOne?
[17:03] <Roasted_> Wow. I just installed 10.10 on a netbook with broadcom wireless, and it works OOTB?!?!?! I never thought I'd see the day where broadcom didnt (royally) suck...
[17:03] <rethus1> normaly not, but i have upgrade my xubuntu to 10.04 before some minutes.
[17:03] <DasEi> chicognu: corrected already, yes /mnt/dev
[17:03] <Choons> joeyjones: Again, unfortunately not. testdisk has spewed out the DellUtility partition, so I'm hoping it will find the rest
[17:03] <rethus1> maybe is presetting
[17:03] <Pici> rethus1: Likely.
[17:03] <Choons> joeyjones: If memory serves, the second partition is a 300Gb one, so it will take a will to appear I think
[17:04] <rethus1> how can i check fot this
[17:04] <sl1v68> hi
[17:04] <joeyjones> Choons: i suggest you do a backup if it recovers
[17:04] <KM0201> Roasted: depends on the broadcom, but most of them work w/ little fuss
[17:04] <joeyjones> :p
[17:04] <haploid> does hdparm -t benchmark reads only?  if so how would I benchmark writes?
[17:04] <DasEi> chicognu: chrooted in ?
[17:04] <joeyjones> oh, and virtualization is key for mission-critical servers
[17:04] <sl1v68> my flash disk seems as a 2,1 mb what would I do
[17:04] <DasEi> haploid: man hdparm
[17:04] <Roasted_> KM0201, broadcom with my latitude e5500 was a joke. It was so bad I bought an intel wifi card.  This netbook is also a latitude, but its a netbook whereas my laptop is a regular laptop... but Im surprised it worked without any issue. Broadcom has a lengthy history of being a brat.
[17:05] <chicognu> DasEi, ok everything mounted .. now chroot /mnt ?
[17:05] <DasEi> yes
[17:05] <joeyjones> Choons: with virtualization you can keep backups of full installs and in the case of a hardware failure be back up as soon as the hardware is ready to go
[17:05] <KM0201> Roasted_: yeah, i know.. but they've actually been pretty solid since around 9.10
[17:05] <chicognu> DasEi, chrooted
[17:05] <lamik> ubuntu-pl
[17:05] <rethus1>  Pici:you have a idea how to deaktivate or check if it is activated?
[17:05] <Roasted_> disagreed. Im on 10.04, and they sucked. that was across 3 different laptops, all different broadcom cards.
[17:05] <lamik> join #ubuntu-pl
[17:05] <DasEi> chicognu: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[17:05] <Roasted_> But with 10.10 I might have to start giving them some credit...
[17:06] <KM0201> Roasted_: well, it depends on the broadcom card.. but most of them, w/ fwcutter, they worked w/ little fuss.
[17:06] <DasEi> chicognu: should comlain somehow
[17:06] <DasEi> p*
[17:06] <joeyjones> Choons: a very popular website i frequent is fully virtualized and is prone to atleast 1 hdd failure every 6 months, very high hdd write count i'd imagine
[17:06] <KM0201> Roasted_: i've set them up many tiems
[17:06] <haploid> DasEi: yeah reading the manpage - there appears to be nothing here about timing writes.
[17:06] <bonjoyee> how can i set a LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable only for apps under /usr/local/bin...?
[17:06] <Roasted_> same here. that's why I'm agreeing to disagree. :)
[17:06] <chicognu> DasEi, can i update-grub before ?
[17:07] <DasEi> chicognu: we will have to install
[17:07] <chicognu> DasEi, man tks it work
[17:07] <Choons> joeyjones: Yeah that's a good idea. But at the moment, I'm just going to work on retrieving this partition map
[17:07] <DasEi> chicognu: output from the recheck ?
[17:07] <joeyjones> Choons: there's not better time for upgrades than after a major failure/repair
[17:08] <Choons> joeyjones: True that.
[17:08] <DasEi> haploid: no nerv for details atm, it does
[17:08] <Pici> rethus1: No, I don't sorry.  I don't use ubuntu-one myself.
[17:08] <joeyjones> Choons: and you can get your management onboard by citing a near meltdown that could have be prevented in the future :p
[17:08] <chicognu> DasEi, Installation finished. No error reported.
[17:09] <DasEi> chicognu: niceeee...
[17:09] <abrakadabra`> hello! how to install old version php (5.2.6), using apt-get on ubuntu 10?
[17:09] <DasEi> chicognu: ctrl+d     . leave chroot
[17:09] <Choons> joeyjones: Heh, that's true. But I'm sure they would just bitchslap me ;)
[17:09] <DasEi> chicognu: umount -a
[17:09] <joeyjones> Choons: that's going to happen no matter what :p
[17:09] <sacarlson> abrakadabra`: I'm not sure it works but you can pin a version in synaptic or apt-get
[17:09] <chicognu> DasEi, think you so much ... the first time I try chroot I just mount the /dev/sda7 and  /proc ... but now works fine
[17:10] <DasEi> chicognu: reboot, check if win is in grub
[17:10] <chicognu> DasEi, brb
[17:10] <DasEi> chicognu: else come back, quickly
[17:10] <rethus1> ok, ubuntu one is not installed
[17:10] <rethus1> Pici:
[17:10] <rethus1> so must be another programm
[17:10] <abrakadabra`> sacarlson, how?
[17:11] <rethus1> /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-http --spawner :1.9 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/0
[17:11] <sl1v68> hi.My kington flash disk seen as a 2,1 mb but orginall 2 gb what would I do
[17:11] <rethus1> say ps aux |grep gvfsd
[17:12] <sacarlson> abrakadabra`: see if this is close https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[17:12] <haploid> perhaps this is more of a postgres question, but is it normal for all I/O write operations on an ubuntu box to hang while running pg_restore?  Is there any way of nice-ing i/o priority as you can with cpu scheduling priority?
[17:12] <DasEi> haploid: still alive ?
[17:12] <Antonis> Hello folks. I have recently installed ubuntu 10.10 and added some hdds to fstab to automount them when I boot ubuntu. I now have a problem with nautilus showing each hdd twice one mounted and one unmounted that does nothing but being there.. is there a solution to this? I have added every entry by its UUID and not label or path
[17:12] <DasEi> haploid: sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility
[17:13] <DasEi> haploid: you find it under system > admin..
[17:13] <haploid> DasEi: thanks
[17:13] <DasEi> haploid: hassling egg here, sry
[17:13] <haploid> oh wait, I'm not running X, this is a server.
[17:13] <DasEi> haploid: hehe
[17:13] <haploid> I'll figure it out
[17:14] <c0nsense> hey
[17:14] <joeyjones> Choons: anyway, i'm going to be leaving soon but pm me to let me know how it works out or if i could be of any help.
[17:14] <c0nsense> what the command to use unity?
[17:14] <Choons> joeyjones: will do mate. Thanks
[17:15] <Se7en> C00re, logout and pick Unity from the list
[17:15] <Se7en> c0nsense, even
[17:15] <c0nsense> ?
[17:16] <i0nic> is there anyway to force cron to run?
[17:16] <sacarlson> i0nic: force the app that cron was suposed to run?
[17:17] <Abhish> I'm looking to build a brand-new machine entirely from scratch. I plan to use Linux ONLY. I am researching Motherboards, and it looks like alot of them use proprietary technologies. I am looking for a MB that will work 100% with Linux. Better yet, one that is designed and optimized for Linux.
[17:17] <chicognu> I forgot the nick the guy is try to help me out
[17:17] <stealthc> ugh this sucks
[17:17] <i0nic> sacarlson: just because a script runs manually does not mean cron runs it properly
[17:17] <KM0201> Abhish: finding one that is optimized, is unlikely... I've always had very good luck w/ Asus and MSI... but if you buy brand new, hot off the shelf stuff, there is a possibility some things won't work... no matter what.
[17:17] <nirazio> There were some occasions when I needed to know the time I installed or uninstalled something from the Ubuntu Software Centre so that I can diagnose some problem. It is great that the time is shown under 'history' there, even up to the second. However the am/pm is not shown and the time is not given in the 24-hour clock format. Is there a way to configure it to show the am/pm or 24-hour clock?
[17:18] <chicognu> KM0201, who is the other guy who is help me out
[17:18] <chicognu> KM0201, can u check it for me please
[17:18] <sacarlson> i0nic: I just setup a job to run in 2 min to verify it will run in cron
[17:18] <KM0201> chicognu: DasEi
[17:18] <geekbri> i0nic: why not create a new cron that runs more frequently...
[17:18] <chicognu> DasEi, I back
[17:18] <chicognu> KM0201, thank u
[17:18] <i0nic> geekbri: cause its painful for script testing
[17:18] <DasEi> chicognu: which result ?
[17:18] <KM0201> chicognu: did it work?
[17:18] <chicognu> DasEi, I back ... problem, the only entry is Windows XP
[17:19] <KM0201> lol
[17:19] <geekbri> i0nic: unfortunately i think its your only option :-\
[17:19] <stealthc> scripts are easy....
[17:19] <i0nic> .=(
[17:19] <chicognu> KM0201, Is it works, as DasEi said I chroot wrong
[17:19] <KM0201> ya
[17:19] <i0nic> maybe your scripts are easy.
[17:19] <KM0201> chicognu: that was a lot of steps to do that... i done it last night in about 5.. so.. i dunno
[17:19] <Abhish> KM0201 I am looking into Gigabyte... but I fear that some of their bells and whistles won't work under Linux... the documentation isn't clear enough for me to make the determination... though they apparently had the firstt MB to suppor LinuxBIOS aka coreboot.
[17:19] <sacarlson> i0nic: there is a simple gui to setup cron jobs if it's too hard for you with gnome-schedule
[17:20] <i0nic> sacarlson: strom, right?
[17:20] <DasEi> chicognu:same appraoch again, grub-install /dev/sda was missing, if win is gone, goto install and rub os-prober afterwards..
[17:20] <KM0201> !hardware | Abhish you can try looking here.. but like i said, if it's bleeding edge stuff... it's gonna be tough.
[17:20] <DasEi> rub=run
[17:20] <DasEi> chicognu:
[17:20] <Dave_L> I have a question about using the script ecryptfs-migrate-home
[17:20] <Dave_L> on ubuntu 10.04
[17:21] <EpicFialGuy> hi #ubuntu, I have a problem with GRUB
[17:21] <sacarlson> i0nic: the complexity of the script make no difference to when it is ran,  I have ran gui scripts in cron that have caused me problems
[17:21] <chicognu> DasEi, what folders from my runing live cd shoud a mount in chroot ? proc and what more ?
[17:21] <krunal> you know what would be nice? If you can rotate the ubuntu desktop cube by holding down the middle mouse button and scrolling
[17:21] <DasEi> chicognu: short reminder : sda5= boot, 7= root mount --bind /dev /proc/ /sys
[17:21] <KM0201> EpicFialGuy: lol, whats wrong?
[17:22] <chicognu> DasEi, ok let me try now. thak u so much again
[17:22] <EpicFialGuy> I installed Debian 5.0.7 and then GRUB, when rebooting I'm stuck at 2 lines:
[17:22] <EpicFialGuy> Loading GRUB stage1.5
[17:22] <DasEi> chicognu: k, one more time..
[17:22] <EpicFialGuy> Loading GRUB, please wait...
[17:22] <DasEi> chicognu: sudo -s
[17:22] <chicognu> DasEi, by my self ?P
[17:22] <KM0201> EpicFialGuy: ask in debian or grub.. i believe debian 5 is stil using grub 1...
[17:22] <DasEi> chicognu: mkdir /mnt/boot
[17:22] <chicognu> DasEi, by my self :P
[17:22] <Choons> Anyone got any suggestions for recovering a partition table? Running Ubuntu on a live CD. Gpart turns up nothing, testdisk is still running. Any alternative ideas?
[17:22] <DasEi> chicognu: mount /dev/sda5  /mnt/boot
[17:22] <Sleeping_Fox> can any1 recommend a book to get started to help programming the linux kernel ?
[17:22] <EpicFialGuy> any way to employ GRUB2 while using Ubuntu live?
[17:22] <DasEi> chicognu: mount /dev/sda7  /mnt
[17:23] <KM0201> Sleeping_Fox: i'd learn to use the OS effectively first.
[17:23] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /dev  /mnt/dev
[17:23] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /proc  /mnt/proc
[17:23] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /sys  /mnt/sys
[17:23] <DasEi> chicognu: chroot /mnt
[17:23] <sacarlson> EpicFialGuy: I think the new live cd use grub 2
[17:23] <DasEi> chicognu: grub-install /dev/sda
[17:23] <KM0201> EpicFialGuy: i don't think so.. you'd need an older ubuntu live cd( pre-9.10)
[17:24] <root_> h1 all
[17:24] <root_> plz help me for download skype ;
[17:24] <root_> )
[17:24] <DasEi> chicognu: crtl+ d , umount -a , reboot
[17:24] <chicognu> DasEi, how I add the others entry with grub ?
[17:24] <KM0201> root_: just go to skype.com and download it?
[17:24] <root_> i try
[17:24] <chicognu> DasEi, there is only Windows XP entry
[17:24] <root_> no work ..
[17:24] <DasEi> chicognu: just go I already told you above
[17:24] <Dave_L> choons, this might help: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=288
[17:24] <Sleeping_Fox> i am learning bash and the advanced bash guide is great , but all i wanna get my hands in the kernel , at least some hacking at first and all i know is a lil c++:
[17:24] <root_> i try with shell konsole .
[17:24] <KM0201> root_: second, you really shouldn't be running your chat client as root, thats' borderline stupid
[17:24] <sacarlson> KM0201: so now live cd boot of ubuntu 10.10 uses grub legacy?
[17:25] <KM0201> sacarlson: i don't believe so.. 10.10 uses grub2 as well.
[17:25] <krunal> how can i set my cube to rotate with mouse wheel?
[17:25] <KWhat_Work> Where would I got to find out if ubuntu includes a particular package like the mbstring php extension.
[17:25] <DasEi> sacarlson: no, grub-pc, so grub2
[17:25] <Pici> KWhat_Work: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[17:25] <sacarlson> KM0201: DasEi: ok
[17:25] <EpicFialGuy> but there is GRUB in Ubuntu Soft Center
[17:25] <EpicFialGuy> that won't work?
[17:26] <Choons> Dave_L: Would be great, but it's for Windows
[17:26] <Dave_L> no, it should work with linux too
[17:26] <KM0201> EpicFialGuy: w/ a pre-9.10 cd.. yes, but even then, he's trying to restore a debian system, which will probably be a little different
[17:26] <Dave_L> i thik
[17:26] <chicognu> DasEi, root@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/sda Installation finished. No error reported.
[17:26] <EpicFialGuy> why do I need a pre 9.10  cd anyways?
[17:26] <kangarooooo> hello. i want to make using wifi make connection from ubuntu to windows to send files. without internet connection.
[17:27] <DasEi> chicognu: lets try..
[17:27] <chicognu> DasEi, reboot ?
[17:27] <Dave_L> hmm, i thought they had a linux version. Maybe I'm wrong.
[17:27] <DasEi> chicognu:still in chroot ?
[17:27] <chicognu> yes
[17:27] <chicognu> umount
[17:27] <DasEi> chicognu:apt-get install os-prober
[17:27] <KM0201> EpicFialGuy: not saying you definitely do.. just saying debian(to my knowledge) uses grub 1, last ubuntu ver. that used that, was 9.04
[17:27] <DasEi> chicognu:I'm not sure if that can be found
[17:27] <EpicFialGuy> okay, but I just want to use GRUB2 with Debian
[17:28] <EpicFialGuy> because GRUB1 as I said, is disfunctional
[17:28] <sresu_> How can I convert .sis file to .jar file?
[17:28] <DasEi> EpicFialGuy: can do that, but least karmic cd
[17:28] <KM0201> EpicFialGuy: and i'm not sure how to do that from a live CD.. i thought i was pretty clear on that
[17:29] <EpicFialGuy> k, brb, trying my luck
[17:29] <chicognu> DasEi, WARNING: kernel & initrd not found in the root directory (/vmlinuz & /initrd.img)WARNING: Do NOT reboot or LILO may fail to boot if your kernel+initrd is large.

[17:35] <DasEi> Pacorab: stay with unetbootin from win, easiest
[17:35] <masdi> how to check ralink version?
[17:35] <Pacorab> mm ok
[17:36] <KM0201> unetbootin always fails for me...
[17:36] <KM0201> always.
[17:36] <sacarlson> Pacorab: I have heard good things about unetbootin too
[17:36] <Free_Speech> how to find packages in ubuntu i don't need?
[17:36] <DasEi> Free_Speech: the hard way ?
[17:37] <Free_Speech> hmm.. i have a Netbook with ubuntu but only 4GB mainspace... i want it as small as possible
[17:37] <jo_> I can't get gmd2 to run. I have tried to add the resp. and everything.
[17:37] <DasEi> Free_Speech: sudo dpkg -l > pak.txt, open with editor, ...
[17:37] <Free_Speech> okay thx.. :)
[17:38] <DasEi> Free_Speech: gnome-games, browse your apps menu, use synaptics, check bum
[17:38] <DasEi> !bum
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: run: dpkg -l | less    and review
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: remove openoffice and install abiword if you only use write
[17:39] <masdi> my wifi : RaLink RT2860
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: remove vino and vinagre if you never use them (VNC stuff)
[17:39] <Free_Speech> it's for my younger sis she just need it for Skype, Browsing and write something down for school...
[17:39] <DasEi> ActionParsnip: install lynx ;-)
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> DasEi: no flash in lynx ;)
[17:39] <sacarlson> masdi: the version that is running or what you have pluged in?  lspci or lsusb for the device, lsmod to see what drivers are loaded
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: remove compiz and use openbox for a faster OS as well as less space used
[17:40] <Free_Speech> she likes the unity... could it be run in openbox too?
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: if you use unity then it will NEED mutter
[17:41] <duffydack> Free_Speech, use another dock, like docky or dockbarx
[17:41] <New0> gogeta no i did not
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: basically openoffice will get you 300Mb back
[17:41] <New0> gogeta and i don't know how
[17:41] <Free_Speech> nice.. :) thx for the help... i will give openbox a try and remove openoffice :)
[17:41] <New0> so how can i fix it?
[17:42] <DasEi> Free_Speech: also can remove whole ubuntu-desktop, just run gdm
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: keep your kernels to just ONE kernel, if you have more than 1 kernel then remove the unnecessary ones to keep maximum space
[17:42] <masdi> iwconfig : RT2860 , lsmod : rt2860sta
[17:43] <Free_Speech> i know i always worked with one kernel on the netbook.. ;)
[17:43] <sacarlson> masdi: and what are we suposed to do with that info rt2860?
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: if you set your browser cache to be stored in /tmp it will be stored in RAM and be lost on reboot but who cares, its web cache
[17:43] <duffydack> Free_Speech, either mount /var/cache/apt/ as tmpfs or add "apt-get clean" to /etc/rc.local
[17:43] <wrd> ActionParsnip: how much does a complete set (Kernel + modules) require (space)
[17:43] <DasEi> Free_Speech: get a cheap usb and put /home on it
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> wrd: each kernel takes up about 120Mb per kernel
[17:44] <masdi> my wifi adapter is ralink RT2860, do i need to install new driver? right now i cannot connect to security network "wpa"
[17:44] <New0> is there anyone can help me plz?

[17:46] <masdi> guide me please
[17:46] <KM0201> Choons: just curious, how long are you gonna work on this?
[17:46] <Free_Speech> anyone knows why Xorgs uses about 8-30% CPU on a quadcore Laptop?
[17:46] <Free_Speech> *xorg
[17:46] <DasEi> Choons: testdisk is your best bet..
[17:46] <sacarlson> masdi: I'm not sure it works for all but maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[17:46] <DasEi> Choons: unless deep forensics are your desire
[17:46] <Choons> KM0201: Until I get my stuff back.
[17:46] <OerH> Choons if testdisk does nog find immediatly, i have verry little hope :(
[17:46] <Choons> DasEi: runnint testdisk atm. Fingers crossed
[17:46] <KM0201> Choons: are you just not accepting that it's gone?....
[17:47] <Sbioko> Hello
[17:47] <Free_Speech> hi
[17:47] <woutervddn> question: I'm trying to burn an iso to a cdrw; I just cleared the iso with brasero, and now when I'm burning the iso it keeps saying there is an scsi error.
[17:47] <chicognu> DasEi, update-grub should automatic record the new grub to mbr, right ?
[17:47] <Choons> KM0201: Why are you being so negative? If you have nothing constructive to say, then don't say anything
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: do you have 3d accelleration?
[17:47] <KM0201> Choons: not being negative, i'm just curious what you hope to accomplish if you've deleted the partition table and formatted the drive?
[17:47] <Sbioko> Does Ubuntu apps have ability to handle
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> woutervddn: try gnomebaker
[17:47] <Free_Speech> @my laptop yes and Nvidia driver 256.x.x
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> woutervddn: make sure you MD5 test the ISO first
[17:48] <Sbioko> to handle drag and drops on system tray icon?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: cool
[17:48] <KM0201> woutervddn: i agree w/ ActionParsnip ... brasero sucks.
[17:48] <Choons> KM0201: No I've just deleted partition table; the drive isn't formatted
[17:48] <masdi> ok, tq ..need to read help files
[17:48] <DasEi> Choons: autopsy if you're a unbeliever..
[17:48] <KM0201> ok..
[17:48] <chicognu> DasEi, I thin i forgot to execut grub-install /dev/sda
[17:48] <DasEi> chicognu: yes

[17:49] <Choons> DasEi: OK I'll have a go
[17:49] <DasEi> chicognu: your turn this time
[17:49] <chicognu> DasEi, see, update-grub find all imagens and os, but don`t put it on menu
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: is it at a particular point in the OS running or is it random?
[17:49] <New0> http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1944/screenshotrt.png when i  map my Win 7 drive it's come two times!! how can i fix it?? plz
[17:50] <DasEi> chicognu: without grub-install, mbr is not re-written, least sda5 was right as images were found
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> New0: its a partition, not a drive. You can't mount drives
[17:50] <share> How can I find the ipv6 address of a website

[17:50] <Free_Speech> the Xorg CPu.. is always higher than 8% i think it's because of the effects... but sometimes it goes up to 30%

[17:52] <ActionParsnip> woutervddn: good
[17:52] <luxurymode> whats the command to pull up sources.list?
[17:52] <DasEi> chicognu: first link of grub-facto tells all, it's /proc /dev/  sys/ (/usr for advanced)
[17:52] <B45h_V|> cd
[17:52] <luxurymode> nm got it
[17:52] <B45h_V|> actionparsnip with alternate cd

[17:52] <ActionParsnip> B45h_V|: did you MD5 test the ISO you burned? Did you burn it as slowly as you could?
[17:53] <Free_Speech> metacity -- replace  chrashes Compic i think :/
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> woutervddn: try using gnomebaker, its awesome. Burn the CD slowly
[17:53] <Free_Speech> no effects.
[17:53] <B45h_V|> actionpasnip well... in fact installation goes good up until the installation of GRUB

[17:53] <Free_Speech> ohh... ^^
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> Free_Speech: is the CPU usage any less?
[17:53] <Free_Speech> Xorg 17% .. nope...

[18:03] <Guest56287> sacarlson, yes I am as root
[18:04] <Scott___> Can someone quickly explain how I can run fetchmail. I've just reinstalled Ubuntu but now I'm getting an error that fetchmail can't connect to localhost:smtp.
[18:04] <sacarlson> Guest56287: and error is?
[18:04] <Scott___> I'm pretty sure I didn't have an smpt last time
[18:04] <chicognu> DasEi, mkdir /mnt/boot , mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot/ mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/ , mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/ , mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/ , mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/ , chroot /mnt/
[18:05] <chicognu> DasEi, those are the exact comands I run
[18:05] <Guest56287> sacarlson, that the group does not exit... I am not creating the group at the same time as the user__
[18:05] <chicognu> DasEi, and os-prober don`t find this time
[18:05] <DasEi> chicognu: /mnt/dev...
[18:06] <sacarlson> Guest56287: ya I guess you need to create the group first then
[18:06] <Guest56287> with addgroup right? sacarlson +
[18:06] <DasEi> chicognu: mount --bind /dev  /mnt/dev  .. and so on
[18:06] <luxurymode> Hey all. I'm trying to install MySQL and directions I'm following say to "Change to the directory that has the RPM." How do I do that?
[18:07] <sacarlson> gruest56 yup maybe if needed check man addgroup
[18:07] <DasEi> chicognu: ctrl-+d, umount -a, same procedure as ..
[18:07] <chicognu> DasEi, nothing change
[18:07] <chicognu> root@ubuntu:/# os-prober  /dev/sda1:Microsoft Windows XP Professional:Windows:chain
[18:07] <crickj> luxurymode: you can install mysql from the package manager
[18:07] <joeyjones> Scott___: fetchmail is supposed to grab mail and forward it, so it's trying to find an smtp so it can forward the mail
[18:08] <chicognu> DasEi, is diferent mount --bind /dev/ and mount --bind /dev ?
[18:08] <chicognu> DasEi, please send me the logs from our talk
[18:08] <joeyjones> Scott___: so you either have it configured wrong or you need an smtp client
[18:08] <Scott___> joeyjones, ok, before i reinstalled i was still able to fetchmail although i did always see a connection refused message. in any case, is there a particular smtp server that I should install?
[18:08] <andre_pl> I'm building a new machine after christmas and I am considering ATI over nvidia for the first time ever, msotly because I've heard good things about their linux support lately. anyone have any advice either wya?
[18:08] <Scott___> I've just copied the .fetchmailrc from before...
[18:08] <joeyjones> for an smtp client you likely want either sendmail or exim4
[18:08] <chicognu> Im dead now with dasei
[18:08] <chicognu> :(
[18:09] <luxurymode> crickj, how do i do it? kinda new. i see a bunch of sql things, not sure which to select..
[18:09] <joeyjones> i don't like working with either much myself, so you can ask around for hlep with that if need be
[18:09] <crickj> luxurymode: do you want the server or client?
[18:09] <luxurymode> crickj, MySQL database core client binaries?
[18:09] <joeyjones> but iirc exim4 was drastically simpler to work with
[18:09] <patrick> hi
[18:10] <luxurymode> crickj, i think server. i wat to set up sql db locally so i can mess around with it.
[18:10] <Guest56944> hi all
[18:10] <Scott___> ok, i'll give exim4 a go
[18:10] <crickj> luxurymode: open a terminal, type "sudo apt-get install mysql-server"
[18:11] <luxurymode> sick
[18:11] <testuser> hi all
[18:11] <luxurymode> i love linux
[18:11] <luxurymode> crickj, thank you!
[18:11] <Guest56944> yup :)
[18:11]  * joeyjones bext $100 that luxurymode will be hating linux within a week.
[18:11] <testuser> i have a problem in ubuntu10.04
[18:11] <joeyjones> *bets
[18:11] <Guest56944> what for a problem???
[18:12] <luxurymode> uh joeyjones, why?
[18:12] <KM0201> luxurymode: cuz everyone loves it at first.. then the first bit of trouble they run into, they are reinstalling XP
[18:12] <joeyjones> luxurymode: perople tend to go througn stages when just starting using linux
[18:12] <joeyjones> KM0201: exactly
[18:12] <testuser> my ubuntu window looks like win98 after system crash
[18:12] <testuser> http://myweb.fcu.edu.tw/~chschang/Screenshot.png
[18:12] <luxurymode> i went through 8 hours of hell setting it initially bc of config issues, raided drive, etc
[18:12] <luxurymode> so i was pretty committed
[18:12] <testuser> it's sceenshot~
[18:13] <memocharette> héhé
[18:13] <memocharette> anyone here using a t61 with Ubuntu?
[18:13] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:13] <KM0201> joeyjones: thats why i always recommend a dual boot.. that way they have a fall back when they have a problem they can't solve and they can stay productive.
[18:13] <IdleOne> testuser: System > Preferences > Appearance and select the theme you want
[18:13] <luxurymode> i have dual boot
[18:13] <Chiku|dc> salut
[18:13] <Chiku|dc> oups
[18:13] <memocharette> bonjour! :)
[18:13] <KM0201> joeyjones: i dual booted for 5mo before i finally went to Ubuntu 6.06 as my only OS.
[18:13] <Chiku|dc> h
[18:14] <KM0201> luxurymode: oh ok.. well, you might be all right... but we'll seee, i still completely agree w/ what joeyjones said
[18:14] <joeyjones> KM0201: personally i use multi-platform apps as much as possible so i can swap over in a catastrophic failure
[18:14] <joeyjones> and kept dual-boot
[18:14] <testuser> IdleOne: no..,it take no affect
[18:14] <KM0201> ya
[18:14] <joeyjones> although my vista install is extremely idle :p
[18:15] <Guest56944> Linux is awesome :=)
[18:15] <testuser> and it both in kde and gnome
[18:15] <Guest56287> how can I add a user to an exiting group???
[18:15] <IdleOne> testuser: try logging out and back in after changing the theme
[18:15] <simon34> what is the use of public FTP service? is it free? how can i use it?
[18:15] <luxurymode> KM0201, i hear. sort of a pointless discussion though, eh? ;)
[18:15] <KM0201> luxurymode: i dunno.. we'll see in about 2-3 weeks i guess
[18:16] <joeyjones> and i use win7 on my desktop now because i play games sometimes and don't want to have to reboot
[18:16] <waffel> Guest56944: well ofcourse! ;)
[18:16] <simon34> what is the use of public FTP service? is it free? how can i use it? which one is better SSH, Windows share, Public FTP server?
[18:16] <janhaj> hello, Is any difference between installing Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop and after that doing update, and Ubuntu 10.10 net install (except in netins I must have internet connection)?
[18:16] <joeyjones> but my lappy lixes on ubuntu and all my servers run nix
[18:17] <testuser> IdleOne: i have try it~but still no affect..
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> simon34: you can share files publicly with a public ftp service, however ftp is not very secure
[18:17] <Guest56287> does any one know how can I add a new user to an existing group_
[18:17] <jocrawfo> hey guys what is a good rss reader for gnome?  I tried liferea and thunderbird but liferea seems slow and clunky while Thunderbird is nice but if I put feed under sub folders I cannot get all items under sub-folders to show up, for instance web development -> php.  If I click on web development i would want to see all items under any sub-folders
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> simon34: sounds like you just clicked on connect to server in nautilus
[18:18] <simon34> what is the use of public FTP service? is it free? how can i use it? which one is better SSH, Windows share, Public FTP server?
[18:18] <goltoof_> jocrawfo:  if you're into browser based stuff i go with google reader
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> simon34: i just answered you
[18:18] <goltoof_> jocrawfo: not savvy on rss apps tho
[18:18] <jocrawfo> yea even google reader would not do what i wanted when it comes to sub-folders etc.
[18:19] <goltoof_> jocrawfo:  yea it's a little limited
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> simon34: instead of pasting the same question, if you need clarification ASK for it rather than being a troll and pasting the same nonesense
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> simon34: you can share files publicly with a public ftp service, however ftp is not very secure
[18:19] <Guest83160> olá boa tarde algum brasileiro por ae?
[18:19] <simon34> is it free?
[18:19] <Guest83160> simon
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> jocrawfo: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-rss-readers-available-in-ubuntu.html
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> simon34: is what free?
[18:20] <goltoof_> !br
[18:20] <Guest83160> you know how a to make a local share for windows?
[18:20] <simon34> need to sign my account?
[18:20] <Guest83160> no...its free
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> simon34: what account?
[18:21] <Guest83160> never
[18:21] <simon34> i am novice about it. what will be the server address?
[18:21] <Guest83160> i dont know
[18:21] <Guest83160> me too a novice here
[18:21] <Scott___> joeyjones, installing exim4 seemed to be a quick fix
[18:22] <SystemParadox> What happened to ftpfs/lufs in Ubuntu 10.10? I can't find it anywhere
[18:22] <joeyjones> Scott___: cool
[18:22] <simon34> hey Action,.......
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> simon34: if you dont know then you don't have a server, you use that to connect to a KNOWN server. So if you have a windows share or have configured an FTP server, then you can connect to it that way
[18:22] <Guest83160> i instaled the version 10.10
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> simon34: have some damn patience
[18:22] <giorgos> i have  GPG error u know any one what  i do
[18:22] <luxurymode> Someone told me to Close the mysql session by typing quit at the prompt. Exit from superuser and come back to your account. (Type exit). This isn't working. Thoughts?
[18:23] <SystemParadox> giorgos, try giving us the error and maybe we can help
[18:23] <testuser> IdleOne: should i check the log file?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> giorgos: what is the GPG bad sig you get, it will be 16 characters long
[18:23] <IdleOne> testuser: I'm not sure what else it could be
[18:23] <giorgos> ok 1min plz
[18:24] <simon34> man u seems little bit crazy. ok. thanks
[18:24] <giorgos> W:GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com maverick Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/weather-indicator/weather-indicator-experimental/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz  404  Not Found
[18:24] <testuser> IdleOne: OK.. thank you :)
[18:24] <joeyjones> KM0201: luxurymode has already had his first issue :p
[18:24] <jussi> !gpgerr | giorgos
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> simon34: no, yo need to give me more than 39 seconds to reply
[18:24] <KM0201> joeyjones: lol... what was the over/under again?
[18:24] <Guest83160> i needed one help to make an LAN with windows
[18:24] <Guest83160> you can help me?
[18:24] <giorgos> i make but the some
[18:25] <joeyjones> KM0201: <luxurymode> Someone told me to Close the mysql session by typing quit at the prompt. Exit from superuser and come back to your account. (Type exit). This isn't working. Thoughts?
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> simon34: my client gives timestamps so I know how long you waited
[18:25] <jussi> wait, sorry, giorgos, that probably wont help
[18:25] <KM0201> l0l
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest83160: do you mean a shared folder for data?
[18:25] <joeyjones> KM0201: i had $100 on him hating kinux
[18:25] <KM0201> lol
[18:25] <Guest83160> yes
[18:25] <Guest83160> and share my printer
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest83160: thats no "making a LAN"
[18:25] <joeyjones> KM0201: i think 1 week was a safe bet :p
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Guest83160: try being specific with your questions
[18:26] <luxurymode> ok, honestly you guys are losers
[18:26] <Guest83160> i try configurat samba, but no sucess
[18:26] <joeyjones> luxurymode: protip: ctrl+c to exit apps and ctrl+d to exit user
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> luxurymode: then leave the channel, nobody is forcing you to stay
[18:26] <luxurymode> this isnt any more of an issue with linux than figuring it out in windows is a "first windows issue"
[18:27] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip, no im very appreciative of advice and very courteous, but thats just outta line
[18:27] <luxurymode> i might be overreacting
[18:27] <HomingHamster> hello
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest83160: do you want to share ubuntu resources to windows, or access windows shares from Ubuntu?
[18:27] <luxurymode> if so, i apologize
[18:27] <vipul> what's wrong with this commandhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/544542/
[18:27] <joeyjones> luxurymode: for a *nix chan this is very sober
[18:27] <Guest83160> i need access the fold in the linux
[18:27] <joeyjones> not even flaming
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> luxurymode: and "luxurymode: ok, honestly you guys are losers"  is not "outta line"??
[18:27] <vipul> http://paste.ubuntu.com/544542/ <--- What's wrong with this command
[18:27] <joeyjones> no personal attacks yet
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest83160: then run:  sudo apt-get install samba
[18:28] <HomingHamster> i use ubuntu netbook remix and i was wondering if you lot have any clever ideas about what to do if my windows are bigger than the screen
[18:28] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip, you're right maybe it was, but when joey pasted my comment, kinda made me feel stupid
[18:28] <luxurymode> i guess im just being sensitive
[18:28] <luxurymode> sorry guys
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> its cool
[18:28] <xevi> hi
[18:28] <Guest83160> the samba is already instaled
[18:28] <Typh> HomingHamster: use alt+click to move them around?
[18:28] <HomingHamster> and i can't resize them because i can't get to the bottom
[18:28] <Guest83160> but i cant configurate
[18:28] <area51pilot> :P
[18:28] <joeyjones> luxurymode: i was loling at with KM0201 at how fast you ran into something
[18:28] <Typh> HomingHamster: or alt middle click to resize them
[18:28] <xevi> hi
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest83160: then right click folders in nautilus and you can share them, or you can use /etc/samba/smb.conf
[18:28] <luxurymode> i keep getting access denied when i try connecting
[18:29] <luxurymode> i granted access and created a pw
[18:29] <HomingHamster> Typh, thanks, have no middle button, it being a netbook
[18:29] <luxurymode> but now not working, hmm
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> luxurymode: are you connecting to a windows PC from Ubuntu to access folder shares?
[18:29] <Typh> HomingHamster: there's still the first thing I said, and my netbook middle clicks when I press both buttons
[18:30] <HomingHamster> Typh, another thing i never knew
[18:30] <Typh> It's likely netbook specific :)
[18:30] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip, no dont think so, just followed this tutorial that said i needed to " grants my account (me@localhost) all the permissions on  database and sets my password"
[18:30] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip, i guess i can just forget about that part, huh?
[18:30] <vipul> i need a help
[18:30] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip, and just do mysql -u root -p
[18:30] <Guest83160> i installed the samba but, when try to access the ubuntu with the windows ask the password
[18:30] <HomingHamster> Typh, thanks, that half solves my problem, the only thing is that the window is not refusing to resize, it comes up with a menu with the options to move workspace etc...
[18:31] <Guest83160> i write but say incorrect
[18:31] <wieshka> How it is possible to make fake USB device what basicly receives data and stores in file ?
[18:31] <wieshka> with no real physical device
[18:31] <HomingHamster> Typh, thanks, that half solves my problem, the only thing is that the window is not refusing to resize, it comes up with a menu with the options to move workspace etc...
[18:31] <area51pilot> wieshka: why?
[18:32] <Sam_eYe_am> How can I start Rhythmbox as root each time?
[18:32] <HomingHamster> ok, g2g sorry thanks!
[18:32] <Typh> HomingHamster: alt left click lets you drag the window around. alt-right click should give a few options, including "resize", are you seeing something different?
[18:32] <wieshka> i have software, whats sends data via USB to my POS printer. My printer is Ethernet connected, so i need to capture this data and transfer over TCP to real destitination
[18:32] <vipul> can any one plz help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/544542/
[18:32] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip, when i command to SHOW DATABASES, i just see "-> "
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Sam_eYe_am: starting rythmnbox as root is not necessary
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> luxurymode: what database technology are you using?
[18:33] <simon34> Hi smart #ActionParsnip......how can i make a internet access point in symbian v5 mobile eg nokia 5230 where data bearer will be data call  to use ubuntu's net connection in mobile through bletooth?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> simon34: no idea, ive not used it. Tr asking the channel like normal
[18:33] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip, my bad i got. bad syntax. its SHOW DATABASES; im using mysql
[18:33] <Sam_eYe_am> ActionParsnip, well... I have been fighting all night to have drives automount and finally they do. Now I can't delete songs in Rhythmbox.
[18:34] <simon34> Its should be normal for u
[18:35] <wieshka> area51pilot: i have software, whats sends data via USB to my POS printer. My printer is Ethernet connected, so i need to capture this data and transfer over TCP to real destitination
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> luxurymode: have you tried asking in #mysql
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Sam_eYe_am: you mount partitions, not drives
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Sam_eYe_am: check your mount options in fstab
[18:37] <frxstrem> how can I unmount a sshfs mount point after the SSH server it was connected to has been shut down?
[18:37] <Sam_eYe_am> ActionParsnip, okay. jeesh. I am so tired of Linux I'm ready to go back to 7 just for a break!
[18:37] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip, nope i havent. will do. thank you!
[18:38] <OrangePeel> Hello
[18:38] <Sam_eYe_am> ActionParsnip, I must have learned something in 2 yrs I managed to open fstab!
[18:38] <New0> http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1944/screenshotrt.png when i  map my Win 7 drive it's come two times!! how can i fix it?? plz
[18:39] <New0> *partition
[18:39] <OrangePeel> Would anyone here recommend Nero Linux over Brasilero
[18:39] <Sam_eYe_am> ActionParsnip, okay what am I looking at or for?
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> Sam_eYe_am: you'll need: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab    to get write access
[18:39] <OrangePeel> Would anyone here recommend Nero Linux over Brasero *
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> !fstab
[18:39] <KM0201> OrangePeel: no.. but I'd recommend gnomebaker over both of them.
[18:39] <Sam_eYe_am> OrangePeel, Baras
[18:39] <ZykoticK9> OrangePeel, k3b or gnomebaker over Brasero (personal opinion of course)
[18:40] <New0> /<IP_ADDRESS>/f /media/net1 smbfs user,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0     this is the line on /etc/fstab
[18:40] <Sam_eYe_am> ActionParsnip, okay. Now what?
[18:40] <OrangePeel> K3 gave me problems more so than Brasero
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> !fstab | Sam_eYe_am
[18:40] <OrangePeel> Maybe becuse slower download speeds
[18:40] <KM0201> OrangePeel: your the 3-4th person that i've saw say that in 2 days... i like k3b, but i don't use it, cuz i don't like installing all the KDE libs... so maybe there's a problem w/ the current version.
[18:41] <Scarecrow> Can someone help me? I've just suddenly started getting "Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 260.19.06, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 260.19.29." when I try to run anything via wine, open nautilus (pretty much anything graphical). Has the update caused it?
[18:41] <KM0201> OrangePeel: i'd install gnomebaker.. it's clean, and easy to use.
[18:41] <Sam_eYe_am> ActionParsnip, I don't understand !fstab :-(
[18:41] <OrangePeel> Yeah KM0201
[18:41] <OrangePeel> installing gnomebaker
[18:42] <trijntje> !fstab | Sam_eYe_am
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Sam_eYe_am: read the factiod ubottu ave
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> *gave
[18:43] <Scarecrow> Repeating it isn't really helping
[18:44] <OrangePeel> Thanks KM0201 will tell you how it works
[18:44] <KM0201> OrangePeel: ok.. good luck.
[18:44] <vvvccc> I saw in some videos you can write the first letters of a file and it will auto-complete, how do i do that?

[18:46] <vipul> sudo gem ? why not sudo apt-get install gem pg?
[18:46] <ZykoticK9> Scarecrow, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"
[18:46] <shane4ubuntu> ok, how do I upgrade a version via command line?
[18:47] <Scarecrow> "nvidia-current is already the newest version."

[18:48] <shane4ubuntu> om26er: hmmm, I'm pretty sure you have to step upgrade
[18:48] <vvvccc> how do I start a program and keep using terminal? if i use '&' i'm always getting the program debug/output info
[18:48] <shane4ubuntu> om26er: not leap. :)
[18:48] <vipul> trijntje,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/544557/
[18:48] <vipul> check this
[18:48] <trijntje> vvvccc, gedit >/dev/null&, this will discard all output
[18:49] <om26er> shane4ubuntu, i have never done a ubuntu upgrade but i think you can leap ;)
[18:49] <trijntje> vipul, what are you trying to do?
[18:49] <shane4ubuntu> om26er: pretty sure it is highly un-advisable, I have done lots of upgrades, and failed upgrades on the step level.
[18:50] <vipul> just making a database support
[18:50] <shane4ubuntu> got it sudo do-release-upgrade
[18:50] <nirazio> When I run update from the terminal, I get the following list where many repositories are shown with "Ign". Does it mean the update manager will always ignore updates from those repositories?
[18:51] <chicognu> how can i force a umount ??
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: try changing your source server in software centre
[18:51] <vipul> trijntje,  just trying to install Postgres as it is the recommended database
[18:52] <trijntje> vipul, gem is not used in ubuntu to install software
[18:52] <trijntje> vipul, why not go to applications -> ubuntu software centre?
[18:52] <vipul> trijntje,  can i pm you ?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: sudo umount device -f
[18:52] <nirazio> ActionParsnip: But what does that mean???
[18:52] <trijntje> vipul, ok
[18:52] <vipul> thanks
[18:53] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, dont work
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: you upgrade from a server out in the great wide internet. There is more than one server to upgrade from so if you try a different one it may work, the one you are using currently may be down for maintenance
[18:53] <ZykoticK9> chicognu, i believe it's "sudo umount -f device" but i could be wrong
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: according to: man umount   -f is the force option
[18:54] <chicognu> ZykoticK9, also dont work
[18:54] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, maby, but it is not umounting
[18:54] <chicognu> maby something crash
[18:54] <nirazio> ActionParsnip: I am asking about Ign..See the result here http://paste.ubuntu.com/544545/
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: not sure there champ, sorry. You are hitting the official server so all is ok
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: can you give a pastebin of the output you get, rather than "its not working"
[18:56] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, device or resource is busy
[18:56] <ZykoticK9> chicognu, are you trying to umount from terminal?  are you in the mounted directory?
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: is that the ONLY text you get output?
[18:57] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/BVnxuU5V
[18:57] <chicognu> ZykoticK9, no
[18:57] <chicognu> ZykoticK9, I mean. yes, terminal emulator. no im not in the directory
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: try:   lsof | grep mnt
[18:58] <ZykoticK9> chicognu, you are logged in as root.  sorry i'm not gonna assist - someone else will i'm sure.
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: could be: sudo -i  ;)
[18:58] <chicognu> ZykoticK9, lol
[18:59] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, sudo -s to be exact
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: -s can be funny, but its fine
[19:00] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/FyASbXyz here the output of lsof  | grep mnt
[19:00] <agentgasmask> Hi. Does anyone know if you can tell a program what "desktop" (aka. workspace) to open on?
[19:00] <ZykoticK9> chicognu, FYI before you did sudo -s what directory where you in?  could be the issue.
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: ok try:  sudo lsof | grep mnt
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: ZykoticK9 is right though
[19:01] <Scarecrow> ZykoticK9, still getting that nvidia api error after removing and installing it again. Now what?
[19:01] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, the same output
[19:01] <ZykoticK9> Scarecrow, and you have rebooted in between?
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: if you run:  exit    what is the output of:  pwd
[19:02] <Scarecrow> ZykoticK9, I'll try that.
[19:02] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, detail im in live cd  and I mount sda7 with the intent to  chroot
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: then logoff and it'll unmount as needed
[19:02] <chicognu> logof from where
[19:03] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, mkdir /mnt/boot && mount /dev/sda7 /mnt && mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys && mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && mount --bind /usr /mnt/usr && chroot /mnt
[19:03] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, after that I exit and try to umount -a
[19:03] <chicognu> but /mnt don`t umount
[19:04] <SageX> hey
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: if you mount to /mnt after making /mnt/boot then the /mnt/boot will not be seen
[19:04] <SageX> I wAs messing with compiz And I Accidently binded the lower cAse A need help
[19:04] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, you are sure that ?
[19:05] <testuser> hi all
[19:05] <jrib> SageX: undbind it?  You probably press backspace to undbind it
[19:05] <testuser> i have deal the issue i just post

[19:05] <vipul> i need a help
[19:05] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, is so, how shout I mount sda5 in /mnt/boot and sda7 in /mnt ? you maby dicovery what im doing wrong
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: yes, when you mount, the mountpoint will show the content of the mounted device, only
[19:06] <chicognu> if so*
[19:06] <testuser> the root cause of the issue is ubuntu updating
[19:06] <testuser> but system memory too few~
[19:06] <agentgasmask> Any one know the irc channel for mdadm (software RAID)
[19:06] <testuser> so it crashed.
[19:06] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, sorry my miss typo some words, Im a little bit tired
[19:06] <vipul> http://paste.ubuntu.com/544557/ whats wrong with this command
[19:07] <testuser> after reboot, it became win98 like screen
[19:07] <h-dee> Hey guys...I need to know if there's any VHDL synthesis or burning tool available for Linux? Preferably FREE!

[19:08] <ActionParsnip> !burning | h-dee
[19:09] <h-dee> ubottu: No I don't need CD burning app. I need VHDL synthesis tool. Its a programming language.
[19:10] <SageX> hold down <Super>m
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> h-dee: "burning tool" said CD burner to me
[19:10] <chicognu> ActionParsnip, lol. google is my friend too, I previously see that page, and it don`t work, because I have a separated partition to /boot folder
[19:10] <h-dee> ActionParnship: I didn't got you. You mean there ain't any burning tool?
[19:10] <h-dee> I need VHDL tool

[19:11] <Turtlez> I have a question that you've probably heard before
[19:11] <Beelsebob> I've just put ubuntu onto a rather ancient laptop – an earlier version (9.04?) detected and used the WiFi on it fine, but this 10.10 doesn't seem to pick any networks up.  What's my best bet to go about diagnosing it?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> ask away Turtlez
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: jaunty isnt supported anymore
[19:11] <h-dee> Any idea guys regarding VHDL synthesis tool?
[19:11] <Turtlez> I'm wanting to switch from Win7 to a Unix based OS and I'm a bit iffy on Wine support for my stuff.
[19:11] <Beelsebob> ActionParsnip: I'm not asking for help with jaunty...
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: run; sudo lshw -C network     and websearch for the product line
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Turtlez: what apps do you need?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | Turtlez
[19:12] <Turtlez> Well, I have Finale 2010, that's the biggest issue... I'll probably just go Dual-Boot.
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: if its USB based, also run: lsusb   one line will identify the device and you can websearch that to find guides too
[19:13] <Beelsebob> ActionParsnip: tis apparently an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG
[19:13] <jon-san> sorry if this is a noob question, but is there a difference between a terminal & a bash shell in ubuntu?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Turtlez: the 2009 version works perfectly
[19:14] <Turtlez> I bet, but I don't own 2009.
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: then see about guides for it under Lucid
[19:14] <ZykoticK9> jon-san, terminal is the program, while bash is a shell.  they are different - but it's difficult to explain what that difference is...
[19:14] <cga> hi all. is there an x86_64 Ubuntu Netbook edition?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Notation
[19:14] <jon-san> i always thought that termianl & shell were synonymous
[19:14] <ZykoticK9> jon-san, no not really
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> !info Denemo | Beelsebob
[19:15] <jon-san> but yesterday my boss said something akin to "open your bash" & that just confused the hell out of me
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> !info denemo | Beelsebob
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> !info lilypond
[19:15] <jon-san> can anyone refer me to any good info online? ive been using google, but i'm still confused
[19:15] <Beelsebob> ActionParsnip: what's that meant to be?
[19:15] <ZykoticK9> jon-san, typically on a linux system the terminal will be using bash
[19:15] <jon-san> any input would be much appreciated
[19:15] <vecchiascore__ia> hi all| Please, help me about an annoiyng problem with ubuntu
[19:15] <cga> jon-san, shell is a component of the operating system around the core , terminal is an emulator/connector of/to the shell
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: http://linux.softpedia.com/screenshots/Denemo_1.png    its an open source equivelent
[19:16] <vecchiascore__ia> my pc stucks when I try installing 10.04.1 lts
[19:16] <Beelsebob> ActionParsnip: uhhhh?
[19:16] <Turtlez> Finale 2010 is rated garbage... :/
[19:16] <SageX> hey ubuntu I still hAvn't fixed my lower cAse "A" problem how do I fix it through the commAnd line
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: sorry, mixed wires
[19:16] <rigved> vecchiascore__ia: do you get a blank screen?
[19:16] <ZykoticK9> Turtlez, either dual-boot or think about a VM
[19:16] <jon-san> Zykotick9, as I understand it, terminal is just a program that lets you move through the file system, edit & execut files, etc.
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Turtlez: http://linux.softpedia.com/screenshots/Denemo_1.png   try denemo
[19:16] <vecchiascore__ia> rigved: no. only mouse moving
[19:16] <jon-san> where does the bash come into play?
[19:17] <ZykoticK9> jon-san, cga's answer isn't bad.  terminal is where you use bash.
[19:17] <detrix42> I am trying to find a way to convert docx to odt  I have tried to get odf-converter, but the links to the page to get it are no longer valid.
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: websearch for guides for intel 2200BG
[19:17] <detrix42> is there another way to do this?
[19:17] <Beelsebob> ahahahahahahaha… STUPID LAPTOP
[19:17] <Stava> How can I share the internet connection I have through a GSM device with my home network (router/switch)?
[19:17] <Beelsebob> it has a wifi kill switch on the front of it… just where you might bash it
[19:17]  * cga off for food.
[19:17] <Beelsebob> dmesg revealed it had been bashed
[19:17] <Beelsebob> >.<
[19:17] <rigved> vecchiascore__ia: in any case it's probably a graphics problem. not compatible with ubuntu
[19:17] <Turtlez> Zykotick9: I'm probably just going to dual-boot. ActionParsnip: I enjoy the support of Finale 2010 (Just got a christmas "gift" of a bunch of scores)
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Beelsebob: nice, all is good then :)
[19:17] <ZykoticK9> detrix42, i ran into problems with docx earlier this month - had to get the origional creator to re-save as a doc, before open/libre-office would do it.
[19:18] <cysioland> How to play .cda files in Ubuntu?
[19:18] <detrix42> ZykoticK9: ok.
[19:18] <jon-san> hmm, well at least I know that the "bash" and "terminal" are in fact two separate components
[19:18] <jon-san> thanks guys
[19:18] <jon-san> i'll keep researching it
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Turtlez: you could use a virtualized system but it wont run as well, you can run it in seamless mode too ;)
[19:18] <itsmeagain> here I am
[19:19] <itsmeagain> we're talking about pc freezed during install
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> cysioland: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-496436.html
[19:19] <New0> how can i connect my windows share from ubuntu without prompt for an User&Pass?
[19:19] <rigved> vecchiascore__ia: you could try the alternate cd. you may be able to successfully install, but the problem may persist after the install
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> itsmeagain: did you test your ram>
[19:19] <itsmeagain> ActionParsnip: RAM OK (1024MB), cd ok
[19:20] <Turtlez> ActionParsnip: Main reason I'm thinking about using a bit of Unix is because I recently BSOD'd and used a PuppyLinux Live-CD to save some stuff, and I really like the idea of a minimal OS.
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> itsmeagain: did you test it using the CD?
[19:20] <Braber01> Hi my aunt just reloaded Windows on to my laptop, but it's giving us the 'grub_rescue>' prompt how can that be fixed?
[19:20] <FredFlinstone> hi i need a samba skilled person to assist me in fixing shares, anyone around ? the shares are set to force a user and that is not happening anyone gets on with a password
[19:20] <itsmeagain> ActionParsnip: sure and also md5 before burning it
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Turtlez: you can install ubuntu minimal, then install LXDE and get a minimalist OS
[19:20] <New0> ActionParsnip i got disconnected!!! so do u know how?
[19:20] <FredFlinstone> oops WITHOUT
[19:20] <rigved> Braber01: use live cd
[19:20] <ikonia> FredFlinstone: make sure your not using the guest account
[19:21] <FredFlinstone> how can i disable the guest?
[19:21] <rigved> !fixmbr | Braber01
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> New0: if you are connecting to a WIndows share and you have Windows Live Messenger it causes issues
[19:21] <FredFlinstone> in users there is only me
[19:21] <Braber01> rigved: I'm wanting to install windows on my laptop thogh .
[19:21] <itsmeagain> the pc is really old
[19:22] <ZykoticK9> Braber01, reinstalling windows will overright grub
[19:22] <New0> ActionParsnip well i have it installed! so how can i fix it?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> New0: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/
[19:22] <itsmeagain> but winxp and mandriva work fine hours and hours turned on
[19:22] <rigved> Braber01: just follow the instruction given in the restore grub2 link, it'll give you a dual boot with windows and ubuntu
[19:22] <FredFlinstone> i porbably have it messed up by using wrong documentation, too bad good docs are not written yet huh
[19:22] <New0> ActionParsnip tnx
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> New0: using a username / password is a good idea, you can have your Ubuntu OS store the password so you only need to store it once
[19:22] <cysioland> How to play .cda files? I have only files, not whole CD.
[19:23] <Turtlez> ActionParsnip: Interesting... I'll have to check it out. Thanks for your help.
[19:23] <FredFlinstone> perhaps if i remove samba and ntfs stuff and start over?
[19:23] <itsmeagain> and the pc freezes completely, only mouse cursor is moving
[19:23] <Braber01> Zykotic: my aunt chose the restore option to wipe out everything however she's still geting the grub_rescue prompt is there some speical instructions i can give her?
[19:23] <nirazio> Sometime ago I just tested to see if I could login to desktop from root, and I succeeded. I clicked on Others on the userlist and entered root and its password and logged in. Now I'd like to know how we can disable root login altogether. I didn't see any option as such in the Login Screen.
[19:23] <ZykoticK9> cysioland, have you tried mplayer?  i have no expericnce with cda files.
[19:23] <New0> ActionParsnip well i try to Enter U&P but didn't work
[19:23] <Braber01> rigved: I removed my Linux partions so I can't load up ubuntu at all.
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> New0: read the link dude, some guy had the same issue
[19:24] <ZykoticK9> Braber01, if you want to restore the windows boot loader, you should be asking in ##windows
[19:24] <New0> ActionParsnip ok tnx :D
[19:24] <rigved> Braber01: do you want ubuntu on that machine?
[19:25] <itsmeagain> no one can help with my problem then?
[19:25] <cysioland> ZykoticK9, don't works
[19:25] <ZykoticK9> cysioland, sorry i have no ideas then.  best of luck.
[19:26] <itsmeagain> If I choose automatic partitioning it stucks @ 46% of install
[19:26] <rigved> Braber01: ok. didn't see the earlier reply. so you need to ask in ##windows to restore only to windows
[19:26] <itsmeagain> but sometimes it satucks after choosing keyboard language

[19:30] <aeon-ltd> anygivenname: check in a process manager if its running
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> FredFlinstone, file shareing with SSH or NFS work great for me between *nix boxes.   Oh, you're complaining about Windows interoperability... not really a linux/ubuntu issue in my opinion.

[19:33] <FredFlinstone> ZykoticK9, understood, but still , my win boxes are the same as they were when 10.04 liked them all, i think of that as an ubuntu issue ONLY
[19:33] <cga> ZykoticK9, why?
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> cga, 64bit will be slower with only 2gb of memory vs 32 bit
[19:34] <cga> ZykoticK9, hu. i think i'll install 32 and see.
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> cga, and i doubt you are doing complex math or encoding with your netbook
[19:35] <rigved> itsmeagain: use alternate cd
[19:35] <dfrank> hi all. I using kubuntu. How can i close X and get text console? I trying to Ctrl+Alt+F2,  or ..+F3, etc, but i got just black window, no command prompt. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace won't work too.
[19:35] <cga> ZykoticK9, true. it's xmas present for my mum. her first computer ever....
[19:35] <rigved> !alternate | itsmeagain
[19:35] <ZykoticK9> dfrank, do you have proprietary nvidia/ati and did you try to alter the resolution of plymouth.
[19:36] <nirazio> Sometime ago I just tested to see if I could login to desktop from root, and I succeeded. I clicked on Others on the userlist and entered root and its password and logged in. Now I'd like to know how we can disable root login altogether. I didn't see any option as such in the Login Screen.
[19:36] <chicognu> What is kernel module to suport more than 4 gb in 32 bits so compiled system ??
[19:36] <netbeast> does anyone know how to install a creative pc cam 300 on ubuntu 10.10
[19:36] <FredFlinstone> with public = no i get access denied, no chance to login, with yes eveyone gets in without a login
[19:36] <ZykoticK9> dfrank, the command "sudo service kdm stop" should stop X, but i'm guessing you'll just get a black screen
[19:37] <FredFlinstone> my fstab http://pastebin.com/rRQHYysp
[19:37] <ZykoticK9> chicognu, PAE is what you are looking for - don't think it is a module though
[19:37] <FredFlinstone> i mean smb conf
[19:37] <chicognu> tks ZykoticK9
[19:37] <aeon-ltd> netbeast: the pae kernel
[19:37] <dfrank> ZykoticK9: yes i am. How can i get command prompt?
[19:37] <FredFlinstone> fstab for the other direction dont wok either, used ubuntu site as a guide
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> dfrank, did you play with plymouth resolution?
[19:38] <dfrank> ZykoticK9: no
[19:38] <cysioland> ActionParsnip, these are audio files, and videostream is mandatory
[19:38] <FredFlinstone> so both ways i have problems
[19:38] <anygivenname> in terminal...how do I see all history ?
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> dfrank, sorry i don't know then... best of luck.
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> anygivenname, "history"
[19:38] <dfrank> ZykoticK9: i heard "plymouth" first time, btw..
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> angryuser: history   is the command
[19:38] <sandking_> hi
[19:38] <anygivenname> history does not show all.....it starts in the middle
[19:39] <ZykoticK9> anygivenname, "history | more"?
[19:39] <anygivenname> I need to see earlier lines
[19:39] <sandking_> i really need some help with my keyboard. i got apple aluminium one (wired) and by default i got special keys instead of fn keys

[19:39] <sandking_> how to switch it?
[19:39] <sandking_> i just wanted to play frets on fire and i can't
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> sandking_: you can use 1,2,3,4 and 5 instead :)
[19:40] <anygivenname> ZykoticK9: thank you
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> fretsonfire is badass
[19:40] <ZykoticK9> anygivenname, glad to help

[19:41] <rigved> using manual partition method, how do i setup encryption of the home folder?
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> sandking_: I play bass, I like the reach peersonally
[19:42] <slgma> are there any better alternatives to lm-sensors
[19:42] <netbeast> this is not helping
[19:42] <rigved> nerdy_kid: use rename
[19:42] <sandking_> ActionParsnip, well I used to play guitar more back in the days and it's far from guitar feeling, so i prefer it to be closer to the edhe
[19:42] <XLV> got a laptop with intel p965 mobile chipset... in ubuntu 10.10 i need to set acpi=off noapic and nolapic boot option for the kernel to load.. ofcourse then i got no battery status. anyone got any info on how to get the pos load with acpi enabled?
[19:42] <sandking_> edge
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> sandking_: fretsonfire is heavily controlled by hardware, some key combinations just wont work with some keyboards so you may need to use 2 key chords
[19:43] <nerdy_kid> rigved: that looks like what I need, only I don't know perl...
[19:43] <netbeast> can someone help me install spca5xx i get errors when i try to install it
[19:43] <rigved> nerdy_kid: d man rename. there are examples given in the end

[19:46] <robisinho> how do I enable inline SVG in 10.10's firefox (the one called only "web browser")
[19:47] <ntr0py> ZykoticK9, ActionParsnip: Thx but that i have done already, but there is no such implementation in tools.jar or rt.jar from suns jre/jdk...
[19:47] <nerdy_kid> rigved: its not working :(  I tried rename 's/\:$//' *.mp3  and a bunch of varations on the perl expression and only succeed in stripping all the file extensions.
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> robisinho: http://labs.silverorange.com/archive/2006/january/howtoinclude
[19:49] <Fryedfish> hi there
[19:49] <netbeast> doesnt work with camera
[19:49] <robisinho> ActionParsnip: my SVG sample file works on mozilla on my windows 7 machine, but not on ubuntu -- on ubuntu it wants to open it as a download, even if I specificalkly open it in a new tab
[19:49] <Fryedfish> I have a little problem when installing wubi.exe
[19:49] <dfrank> seem like there's no getty runnung on tty1,2,etc. How can i make it run?
[19:50] <robisinho> ActionParsnip: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9TOmYPGKkKNMDBlNzk1NzgtZWNiOS00ODlhLWE1OTgtZjM1ZmMzNmU5OTJk&hl=en this is it
[19:50] <robisinho> or, one of them
[19:50] <rigved> nerdy_kid: well the first expression is the one that you want. the second one (*.mp3) is the actual file which you are replacing.
[19:50] <dfrank> actually, there's strange: why getty isn't running?? Strange ubuntu.
[19:51] <rigved> nerdy_kid: i'm that good with RE. maybe someone else may be able to help
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> robisinho: i dont use firefox so I'm no use here dude
[19:51] <robisinho> ActionParsnip: ooh jesus, I was clicking the download link insteadof the open link -- I'km a dolt. thnk you!
[19:51] <Typh> my font rendering regularly gets all distorted and wacky. Changing the hinting fixes it, but is there any shortcut that might force everything to refresh?
[19:51] <nerdy_kid> rigved: ok thanks for your help :)
[19:52] <rigved> nerdy_kid: sor i meant that i'm not good with regular expressions
[19:52] <rigved> nerdy_kid: *sorry

[19:53] <Fryedfish> after the dual boot on ubuntu, there is no action after the ubuntu logo has dissapeared... howcomm?
[19:53] <Guest151> hello?
[19:53] <netbeast> does anyone know why camfrog wont display video in wine
[19:53] <Guest151> When i try to do the Live Boot from the cd it just sits at the window that says Ubuntu with the dots under it. Is this a common prob?
[19:53] <needhelp1> what should i format a hdd to so it will be compatable with mac osx
[19:54] <rigved> sparkey: just run the rsync program as normal and check what happens. it should resume automatically
[19:54] <pgpkeys> HFS+ same as google tells you
[19:54] <nirazio> what this command will do "sudo usermod -p '!' root"
[19:55] <Egonis> I'm trying to install UNR 10.10 on a Lenovo S10-3 Netbook, and it hands on 'Initialized DRM' in a kernel console
[19:55] <Egonis> 'hands' = 'hangs'
[19:55] <rigved> Guest151: it means that your hardware is not fully supported by the installer. try installing from the alternate cd
[19:56] <rigved> !alternate | Guest151
[19:56] <esteban22x> hi .. I have a question
[19:56] <esteban22x> who can help me ?
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> Guest151:www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[19:56] <needhelp1> pgpkeys, is ext4 compatable with osx
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> esteban22x: ask away
[19:56] <sonorus> hi, how to change color of syntax highlighting in Geany ??
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: i'd ask in #apple
[19:56] <sonorus> it's possible ?

[19:57] <esteban22x> I'm thinking to install the new ubuntu 10.10 but I need a broadcom driver for my wireless
[19:57] <nerdy_kid> esteban22x: what wireless card is it?
[19:57] <esteban22x> Broadcom
[19:58] <esteban22x> Ubuntu 10.10 can support it?
[19:58] <nerdy_kid> esteban22x: what model wireless card?
[19:58] <XLV> esteban22x, first you need to find the exact model.. broadcom means little
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> esteban22x: use a wired connection is by far the easiest way, there is a method using the live cd too but if you are using a laptop this is especially easy
[19:59] <gobbe> esteban22x: you can install broadcom-drivers with additional drivers-installer
[19:59] <nerdy_kid> esteban22x: e.g. I have a broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> XLV: most lappys use broadcom 43xx as they are cheap and abundant
[19:59] <netbeast> i like ubuntu 10.10 making it easy for the switch
[19:59] <esteban22x> but Ubuntu 10.10 support it
[19:59] <esteban22x> ?
[20:00] <gobbe> yes
[20:00] <gobbe> but you need to download drivers
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> esteban22x: if its a broadcom 43xx the driver will be offered once you get a network connection
[20:01] <Typh> my font rendering regularly gets all distorted and wacky. Changing the hinting fixes it, but is there any shortcut that might force everything to refresh?
[20:01] <Typh> I know my video drivers are probably crap, but unfortunately this card is no longer supported
[20:01] <esteban22x> ok .. tanks a lt
[20:01] <BlackBox> Hello
[20:01] <esteban22x> lot
[20:01] <BlackBox> I have a question if any one may help.
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> BlackBox: ask away
[20:02] <esteban22x> are there a chat IRC about Ubuntu in spanish
[20:02] <esteban22x> I can't speak english so good
[20:02] <esteban22x> :S
[20:02] <Myrtti> !es | esteban22x
[20:02] <BlackBox> Does any one have a link to a tutorial to upgrade Ubuntu 10.10  to Ubuntu Studio 10.10 i know you can use command line but not sure on what repositories to add or how to exactly add them
[20:03] <soerenbnoergaard> join #latex
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> BlackBox: its not an "upgrade", its just adding extra packages
[20:03] <esteban22x> but I'm gonna stay here for a moment :)
[20:03] <esteban22x> I like this channel
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> BlackBox: run: apt-cache search ubuntustudio     install those packages
[20:03] <BlackBox> Thank you
[20:03] <humble> what shall i install for sound drivers?
[20:03] <BlackBox> cheers
[20:04] <nirazio> Sometime ago I just tested to see if I could login to desktop from root, and I succeeded. I clicked on Others on the userlist and entered root and its password and logged in. Now I'd like to know how we can disable root login altogether. I didn't see any option as such in the Login Screen.
[20:05] <FredFlinstone> Anon269, you still around now that i am done with the telephone? somehow things changed all on their own - do i have to wait 5 minutes after restarting samba when tweaking?
[20:05] <FredFlinstone> or anyone?
[20:05] <B45h_V|> nirazio: just delete root-password
[20:06] <nirazio> B45h_V: How???
[20:06] <SocAt> any one know why redirecting an rtsp video stream with socat causes vlc to crash, but not with rtp?
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: sudo usermod -p '!' root    will disable root account like it SHOULD be
[20:06] <B45h_V|> nirazio: sudo passwd -d root
[20:07] <Myrtti> nirazio: like ActionParsnip said
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> simple stuff
[20:08] <CH|LLZ>   /exit
[20:08] <FredFlinstone> where does stuff go to mount and share an ntfs win box, i know fstab needs entries (tried a couple variations from webpages without luck) , is there other files to edit? must be
[20:10] <sandking> ActionParsnip, could you help me and tell where should i import frets on fire songs? :) (i already managed the tfn problem)
[20:10] <uma_> Hiiiiiii..........
[20:10] <lithpr> hi, how do i load changes in my .bash_aliases file w/o starting a new terminal?
[20:11] <nirazio> ActionParsnip: what this command will do?? sudo passwd -d root
[20:11] <BlackBox> ActionParsnip: Thank you . Got the list then used synaptic package manager. Cheers
[20:11] <sandking> ah, got it :]
[20:11] <resixian> trying to: mount -t cifs -o ro,username=foo,password=bar //<IP_ADDRESS>/ubuntu_alt ~/upgrade_src
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: no idea, the command I gave disables the account
[20:12] <bullpup> does anyone know how to install 2.6.37 kernel with PAE in Ubuntu 10.10?
[20:12] <resixian> but i keep getting.. "mount: cannot mount block device //<IP_ADDRESS>/ubuntu read-only"
[20:12] <lithpr> while i'm waiting, let me mention that i love the way Ubuntu integrated Liferea into the messaging menu
[20:12] <lithpr> if you haven't seen it, it's great
[20:12] <resixian> this share mounts 'just fine' on my arch linux laptop
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> lithpr: run:   source ~/.bash_aliases  maybe
[20:13] <lithpr> ActionParsnip, thanks, that did it :)]
[20:14] <nirazio> ActionParsnip: why root account is disabled in ubuntu??
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: security
[20:14] <lithpr> nirazio, 'sudo su' works
[20:14] <ZykoticK9> lithpr, DON'T USE THAT
[20:14] <sandking> how to use chmod to set rw of folder for me?
[20:15] <IdleOne> use sudo -i if you must
[20:15] <lithpr> nirazio, don't use that.  nevermind :)
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> sandking: depends who the owner is
[20:15] <sandking> ActionParsnip, i can't copy songs to frets on fire and i need to change permissions
[20:16] <nirazio> ActionParsnip: if that is for security reason..Why cant they delete the root account permanently??
[20:16] <ZykoticK9> sandking, "chmod 600 file" will set you to rw and nothing for everyone else
[20:16] <sandking> i tried to run nautilus as su but that didn't work
[20:16] <netbeast> linux has come a far way since i used redhat
[20:16] <sandking> ZykoticK9, ok, will try that
[20:16] <ZykoticK9> !gksu | sandking
[20:16] <sandking> good to know
[20:16] <needhelp1> can ubuntu read and write to HFS+
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: because root owns the other files
[20:17] <FredFlinstone> where does stuff go to mount and share an ntfs win box, i know fstab needs entries (tried a couple variations from webpages without luck) , is there other files to edit? must be
[20:17] <ekspiulo> join #clutter
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> sandking: you don't use sudo with gui apps
[20:17] <nerdy_kid> how do I convert filenames to FAT compatible ones?  thanks!
[20:17] <jiffe> I'm trying to figure out why when I try to install emacs23-nox via apt-get, it wants to remove mysql
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: you can mount to ANY folder you want, except in /proc  so there is no set place
[20:18] <sandking> ActionParsnip, well, i did it several times and it worked :]
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: you could make a new folder in ~/Downloads called stuff and mount to ~/Downloads/stuff
[20:18] <sandking> ZykoticK9, chmod 600 didn't much helped :]
[20:18] <secretary_linux> Hi all. it seems since I last used ubuntu a couple years ago, its init.d arrangement has changed, what with upstart and all. can anyone point me to some documentation that outlines ubuntu's init process now and how to control which services load at boot?
[20:18] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, ok ill go media, but exactly how do i do this with a command in a text file somewhere?
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> sandking: you will make your ~/.ICEauthority be owned by root and you wont be able to use sudo
[20:19] <Atriktison> hi all
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> sandking: if you want to avoid that you can use your OS PROPERLY and use gksudo with GUI apps, your choice
[20:19] <FredFlinstone> or in a gui, as a noob , i have no clue :)
[20:19] <Atriktison> I have an bug open office
[20:19] <Atriktison> when I select tools bibligophy
[20:19] <sandking> ActionParsnip, i wasn't aware of that before, so thanks for the tip - will do it in future then
[20:19] <Atriktison> it is creashes
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo | sandking
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> sandking: in kde it's kdesu
[20:20] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, i'd like them mounted/shared every boot
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: then use fstab
[20:20] <nerdy_kid> Atriktison: have you reported it?
[20:20] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, i only need stuff there?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: its an example, you can mount to any folder
[20:21] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, i only need stuff in fstab for that?
[20:21] <elias79> hello
[20:21] <nirazio> ActionParsnip: What are the files that root owns??
[20:21] <nerdy_kid> Atriktison: if not, then just hit "report a bug" over on the right here:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
[20:22] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, i had tried fstab and failed, i guess the webpages were outdated
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> nirazio: many, mainly outside of $HOME
[20:22] <jiffe> it looks like cacti was uninstalled, which has a recommended package of mysql-server, if I don't want to remove mysql-server how do I remove that from the autoremove list ?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: find other guide
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> s
[20:22] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, got a link for me on that? :)
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: there are so many, for me to give you just one would be ridiculous
[20:22] <Atriktison> ok thanks
[20:23] <sandking> greta
[20:24] <elias79> ?
[20:24] <sandking> great - i could copy files now but now frets on fire has access denied :]
[20:24] <Suboptimal> hey
[20:24] <etheretic> Hello! Running amule and/or transmission causes horrendous lag n my connection. What may the cause be?
[20:24] <Suboptimal> what do i gain by using the loop option in (mount -o loop), when mounting an iso?
[20:25] <itaylor57> wb KM0201
[20:25] <baggar11> Suboptimal: I think it's required, otherwise you can't mount the file
[20:25] <KM0201> itaylor57: ty
[20:25] <nerdy_kid> I need to strip all '!'s and ':'s out of a bunch of filenames, how would I do this?  I have been shown rename, but I dont know how to use perl expressions.
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> etheretic: what version of transmission
[20:26] <ZykoticK9> Suboptimal, loop is required for mounting ISOs
[20:26] <yhager> I am looking for the package libantlr3c-dev, and I found it on debian sid. Can I install it in Ubuntu somehow? http://packages.debian.org/sid/libantlr3c-dev
[20:26] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, for a win box named PC1 with a share named MEDIA is this correct -  //PC1/MEDIA /media/MEDIA cifs credentials=/home/fred/.creds,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[20:26] <itaylor57> nerdy_kid: you can do it via shell scripts, bash or perl
[20:26] <diskin> nerdy_kid, gprename will help probably
[20:26] <FredFlinstone> assuming i did the rest ok?
[20:26] <Suboptimal> ZykoticK9: if i do it without it
[20:26] <FredFlinstone> is uppercase correct here?
[20:26] <Suboptimal> ZykoticK9: what happens?
[20:27] <ZykoticK9> Suboptimal, it won't work ;)
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: does the folder /media/MEDIA   exist?
[20:27] <Jordan_U> Suboptimal: Try it, it will fail.
[20:27] <etheretic> ActionParsnip: Hello again :-) It's v 2.13
[20:27] <ZykoticK9> FredFlinstone, i don't think the // is correct
[20:27] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, i did create one with root in nautilus
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> !info transmission
[20:27] <Typh> my font rendering regularly gets all distorted and wacky. Changing the hinting fixes it, but is there any shortcut that might force everything to refresh/redraw?

[20:28] <HavokDelta6> heya, just wondering guys, how does one change the audio bit depth, i've found out how to change the sample rate already (athough recomformation - or an alternate way - is welcome)
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> etheretic: then its not from the Ubuntu repo, you should contact the developer
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> FredFlinstone, will if that page says it right - i guess it's correct
[20:29] <Suboptimal> ZykoticK9: what about -o loop,ro?
[20:29] <HavokDelta6> heya, just wondering guys, how does one change the audio bit depth, i've found out how to change the sample rate already (athough recomformation - or an alternate way - is welcome)
[20:29] <FredFlinstone> ok , one last thing, do i need to reboot , or restart samba?
[20:29] <ZykoticK9> Suboptimal, i'd guess that will prevent the read only error - but it would work either way
[20:29] <Suboptimal> k

[20:29] <nerdy_kid> diskin: thanks, that looks like it should do the trick :)
[20:30] <etheretic> ActionParsnip: I believe it ccame with the vanilla 10.10 distro
[20:30] <Antonis> guys could someone please tell me how to change the colors of the workspace switcher on gnomepanel without changing theme? Is it something I can do through .gtkrc-2.0 perhaps?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> etheretic:  transmission (source: transmission): lightweight BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.04-0ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 0 kB, installed size 20 kB   so it's 2.04 in maverick
[20:31] <snake__> I.can't.type.spaces.because.of.gloobus.preview.
[20:31] <wildfire100> hi, my mic isnt working how do i fix this, how do i get to the settings??
[20:31] <rushana> hey julle varkies
[20:32] <sparc> So, people say Ubuntu isn't a serious distribution we can use in production
[20:32] <FredFlinstone> sudo mount -a = mount error(110): Connection timed out Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[20:32] <snake__> How.do.I.turn.it.off.
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> sparc: if it suits your needs, why not
[20:32] <rushana> ubuntu is kak kool
[20:32] <FredFlinstone> i guess its NOT right - take out the // and put / ?
[20:32] <sparc> and that it doesn't have the patches or extra utilties that RHEL has
[20:32] <KM0201> Antonis: i have no idea where that color is set.... i imagine yu
[20:32] <KM0201> Antonis: i imagine you'll be looking a while to find someone that does
[20:32] <Suboptimal> by the way, is it the same using the wine command in terminal and right click open with wine?
[20:32] <sparc> does Ubuntu have corresponding tools to work with the kernel and kickstarting?
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> sparc: its the same OS essentially so is as flexible as you like
[20:33] <sparc> it's not the same OS, redhat's modified the kernel and backports security updates and features
use elementary nautilus instead
[20:33] <etheretic> ActionParsnip: should it make a difference? I'd think its's a config thing, since the same issue arises with amule.
[20:33] <zroysch> how do i get the rhythmbox icon in the dock on the top right like it used to be? running ubuntu 10.10
[20:33] <sparc> and also offers add-on programs and utils, along with the redhat network
or else change the key combination
[20:33] <_unallocated_> How can I know the IP address of a buddy in Pidgin?
[20:33] <KM0201> sparc: then use Redhat?
[20:33] <Antonis> KM0201, do you maybe know where in a theme i can find the values? maybe I could edit the theme instead?
[20:34] <dagni> this is really big chan ;)
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> etheretic: yes! you are using an app and we have no idea how it was made or compiled, if you use the Ubuntu one then it is consistent and we can support it
[20:34] <sparc> KM0201: yeah, i think maybe that's what the data's poitning to
[20:34] <KM0201> Antonis: thats what i'm saying,  i have no idea, and you'll probably be hard pressed to find soemone that does
[20:34] <KM0201> sparc: well... buh bye
[20:34] <snake__> sudipta, no.I.do.have.natilus.elementary.and.don't.have.key.combos.in.compiz.on.

[20:34] <Antonis> KM0201, oh ok.. thnx anyway
[20:34] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: you talking about gtk themes?
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> sparc: i recommend you try it to see
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> sparc: if you like it, use it. If not then its easy to switch to whatever distro you prefer
[20:35] <Antonis> aeon-ltd, yes.. actually I am talking about the gnomepanel and the workspace switcher.. I want to change the colors of the workspace switcher without changing the whole theme
[20:35] <wildfire100> help please??
[20:35] <snake__> sudipta, perhaps.it's.because.I.updated.to.10.10,.but.the.change.wasn't.immediate.
[20:36] <KM0201> wildfire100: ask your question, if someone can help, they will
[20:36] <vipul> j
[20:36] <sparc> ActionParsnip: ok sounds good.  i already use redhat for my company.  i was looking for reasons to switch
[20:36] <FredFlinstone> ActionParsnip, what about the uppoercase?
then what?it works fine with me...(I guess)
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> sparc: if what you have works, why change it..
[20:36] <netbeast> why cant i get this camera to work always something one thing
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: how do you mean?

[20:37] <FredFlinstone> or //pc1 ?
[20:37] <snake__> instead*
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: linux is VERY case sensitive so you must be accurate there too
[20:37] <FredFlinstone> MEDIA or media?
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: ALL, be accurate with ALL cases
[20:37] <FredFlinstone> how do i check it?
what is ur actual problem?can u elaborate
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: well YOU made the mount point so you can check that easily
[20:38] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: ok, i think gnome-panel handles its own background and images, as for the workplace switcher it may source its images from somewhere within /usr/share
[20:38] <wildfire100> KM0201, my question is further up in the chat
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: YOU also shared the folder on the server side, so can check that case too
[20:38] <FredFlinstone> it is uppercase like the WIN share name
[20:38] <KM0201> wildfire100: have you looked in your sound settings?
[20:38] <FredFlinstone> so then upper is correct
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> FredFlinstone: then you know what to do
[20:38] <FredFlinstone> then why is it broke?
[20:39] <FredFlinstone> /PC1/MEDIA /media/MEDIA cifs credentials=/home/fred/.creds,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[20:39] <Antonis> aeon-ltd, is there a way to find out what the path to the workspace switcher applet is?
[20:39] <FredFlinstone> is supposed to be right
[20:39] <wildfire100> yes, but i cant figure out what to do KM0201 ?
[20:39] <snake__> sudipta, well,when.I.hit.the.space.key.it.comes.up.with.a.metacity.error.and.it.can't.locate."gloobus-preview".No.such.file.or.directory..
[20:39] <KM0201> wildfire100: well, when you go to your sound preferences, and you clcik the input tab... what do you see?
[20:40] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: i don't think so but there will be a folder in /usr/share with the name of the application
[20:40] <wildfire100> connecter microphone 1 KM0201

[20:42] <Suboptimal> i want to make new
[20:42] <KM0201> wildfire100: is it not working w/ a specific application, or is it not working w/ the OS, there's a difference
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> Suboptimal: no, thats only the config for the app, wine in installed outside $HOME, only the apps you install with wine are in $HOME/.wine

[20:46] <chaospsychex> i'm trying to run an executable but when i click "run as a executable program" in the permissions tab, the check goes away as sooon as i click it
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> soerenbnoergaard: right click, open with, use this for similar file types. something along those lines, but if its vim (not gvim) you'll need something like xterm -e vim; or gnome-terminal -e vim
[20:47] <ZykoticK9> chaospsychex, is the executable on either a CD or a Windows partition?
[20:47] <chaospsychex> a windows partition
[20:47] <nirazio> ActionParsnip: What you mean by Hit and Ign in update??
[20:47] <sudipta> snake__:have u uninstalled it?
[20:47] <soerenbnoergaard> aeon-ltd: Thank you, I'll try that
[20:47] <ZykoticK9> chaospsychex, you can't apply unix permission to files on windows partitions
[20:48] <ubuntu> how do i setup openVPN client the server docs just say to copy certain files but do not give a very detailed explanation
[20:48] <chaospsychex> oh,let me copy it over and see if i can run it
[20:48] <pero> hello i want to know does have ubuntu function that will automaticly goes to hibernation after suspend,like in windows 7?
[20:49] <pero> in windows 7 you can set that after laptop is suspended after 10minutes automaticly goes to hibernation
[20:49] <FredFlinstone> In this WHOLE channel right now no one knows  proper fstab ? no one can correct the page that i used?

[20:52] <Spow> Hi guys, I'm trying to read the end of the /dev/ttyUSB0 buffer. I tried tail with no success. I'd now like to flush it (and then read), but I can't find how to flush /dev/ttyUSB0. Could someone please help me ?
[20:52] <aeon-ltd> soerenbnoergaard: you didn't put the semicolon did you? its just 'xterm -e vim'
[20:52] <chaospsychex> is there anything better than WINE?
[20:53] <b2ag_> FredFlinstone: "sudo mount -a = mount error(110): Connection timed out " means network connection could not be established
[20:53] <resixian> FredFlinstone: scrollign up, i would suspect you hsould be using, //PC1/<sharename> ?
[20:53] <Rogan_> Hey there everyone! I'm setting up JIRA and Confluence on a ubuntu 10.04 server. I was hoping someone might give me a hint or two for auto-starting them... init.d doesn't seem to be used like it used to, what's the 'new' way to do that?
[20:53] <jianfei> any alternatives to Tor?
[20:53] <soerenbnoergaard> aeon-ltd: No I didn't. Should it be 'vi' or 'vim' ?
[20:53] <ZykoticK9> FredFlinstone, FYI you may run into problems with putting Windows mounts into fstab if that server is not available (might prevent bootup of Ubuntu)
[20:53] <baggar11> chaospsychex: a nice glass of single malt scotch
[20:53] <aeon-ltd> soerenbnoergaard: your choice
[20:53] <b2ag_> FredFlinstone: "sudo mount -a = mount error(110): Connection timed out " means host could not be found ... sometihng like this
[20:54] <chaospsychex> LOL
[20:54] <pero> anybody know bout hybrid sleep?
[20:54] <soerenbnoergaard> aeon-ltd: Doesn't work anyway
[20:54] <b2ag_> FredFlinstone: "sudo mount -a = mount error(110): Connection timed out " could also mean firewalled ports
[20:54] <baggar11> chaospsychex: have you checked out "playonlinux" ?
[20:54] <b2ag_> spam
[20:54] <aeon-ltd> soerenbnoergaard: a open with should be --> xterm -e vim (thefilewillbeplacedhere)

[20:55] <secretary_linux> Hi all, I find myself very confused by Ubuntu's transition to upstart. The documentation seems to apply mostly to the old sysvinit setup, and my 10.10 system seems to be using a combination of sysvinit and upstart. Is there any updated documentation available regarding Ubuntu's handling of services on boot?
[20:55] <aeon-ltd> soerenbnoergaard: oh it may have different params instead of '-e'

[21:03] <KM0201> Guest16980: is it Intel, ATI or Nvidia (or heaven help you, something else)
[21:03] <resixian> FredFlinstone: as an aside, it would help putting nick's in your responses

[21:04] <FredFlinstone> ZykoticK9, how woudl i do that?
[21:05] <ZykoticK9> FredFlinstone, "sudo mount ...."
[21:05] <Guest16980> ot ask if i am root what now?
[21:05] <resixian> FredFlinstone: you do it just the same as with fstab, but instead use 'sudo mount -o <options> -t cifs //PC1/MEDIA <path to share>'
[21:06] <Guest16980> hey my ubuntu asks if i am root what now?
