[14:36] <Jaybird> ok can anyone tell me what to use to author the cd - that would make sense. I assume I can find a new burner then burn the download I have again?
[14:36] <almoxarife> Nublet: oh dear, perhaps you need to stick to 10.04
[14:36] <Nublet> lol
[14:36] <Nublet> maybe
[14:37] <pfifo> Jaybird, wht not just use what you currently have?
[14:37] <dime01> Nobody could help me ?
[14:37] <Jaybird> because it has expired
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> dime01  start by asking a question
[14:37] <pfifo> Jaybird, and? give it your credit card number
[14:37] <Jaybird> I am sorry I find the fact there are so many conversations going on a bit confusing
[14:38] <Pici> !who | Jyothis
[14:38]  * Pici fails
[14:38] <Jaybird> I would not give something I downloaded my credit card unless I had checked it was genuine
[14:38] <Sidewinder1> !who | Jaybird can make things a little more readable.
[14:38] <dime01> MonkeyDust Its already done
[14:38] <Pici> Jaybird: Just prefix your message with the person you are talking to, and the person who is talking to you will do the same.
 ah ic. like this
[14:39] <Sidewinder1> Pici, Beat 'ya. ;-)
[14:39] <Pici> Jaybird: aye
[14:39] <dime01> MonkeyDust,  When I run Firefox under root I have Java plugins enable (seen in about:plugins) whereas I run it under the install user Java is not enabled
[14:39] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  can you do sudo iptables -L, and pastebin the output?
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> dime01  are you using sun-java or open-java?
 ok
[14:40] <almoxarife> dime01: under 'root'? because?
[14:40] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  i want to make sure its actually clearing the firewall
[14:40] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  because i'm getting mixed results on my test machine here
[14:40] <dime01> MonkeyDust, Humm I made the install manually
[14:40] <opamp> Hi, using 11,10, I am addin a new monitor to my laptop but unable to set it to highest config. The selected configuration for displays could not be applied. Requested position/size for CRTC 71 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1920, 0), size=(1366, 768), maximum=(1920, 1920).
[14:40] <dime01> MonkeyDust, using sudo sometimes
[14:40] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Sure, give me a sec.
[14:40] <Sidewinder1> dime01, IMHO running FF with root privileges is not the best idea..
[14:40] <`Korvin> didn't work EvilResistance / ikonia
[14:41] <dime01> amoxrife : yes using sudo to install manually
[14:41] <`Korvin> I even installed gdm to see if thatd work
[14:41] <Jaybird> So can anyone tell me what to use to burn the cd to get the ubuntu working..windows vista home
[14:41] <dime01> Sidewinder1 : what is IMHO ?
[14:41] <`Korvin> in my humble opinion dime01
 I know that! In my humble opinion...
[14:41] <Sidewinder1> dime01, In My Humble Opinion.
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> Jaybird  better ask in ##windows (double #) what windows programs there are
[14:42] <EvilResistance> fooey, i have class shortly... Aufwind, i'll still take that pastebin, but i might not get to it immediately, i have to disappear over to class :/
 is that a chat room or what?
[14:42] <dime01> Thks all, but It's why I ask this question
[14:42] <Sidewinder1> dime01, But, as my wife says, sometimes my advice is worth exactly what I charge for it. :-)
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> Jaybird  yes
[14:42] <almoxarife> dime01: so it's a test machine and you are using root and a user account to .......... stuff?
[14:43] <dime01> How can I do to use Firefox with java without launchiing firefox under root
 ah do you have a link it is years since I used a chat thingy
[14:43] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Still there?
[14:43] <MonkeyDust> Jaybird  type /join ##windows
[14:43] <Jaybird> Thank you all
 Thanks
[14:43] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  for the next 6 minutes, or so, yes, but i'm out the door in 6 minutes, wont be back until I get my wifi back on campus
[14:43] <Sidewinder1> Jaybird, FF should run java just fine without running from root.
[14:44] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, If you want I can login back later on.
[14:44] <MonkeyDust> Jaybird  don't say it's for ubuntu, just tell them it's for a cd or dvd
[14:44] <dime01> almoxarife : Im a web developper, I just install ubuntu (5 days), and I encountered problems using an applet
[14:44] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, If you could tell me a time.
[14:44] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  no, i'll take the pastebin now
[14:44] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, http://codepad.org/uslslbDi
[14:44] <EvilResistance> it takes 3 minutes to walk to campus, another minute to turn on the wifi xD
[14:44] <dime01> So I try several things install / uninstall java / firefox
[14:44] <Zaitzev> apparently Adobe Flash 11 has native 64-bit support, but where do I find and install it?
[14:44] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Ah, I undestand. ^^
[14:44] <Zaitzev> and I'm using Google Chrome..
[14:44] <dime01> and Now I can run this fuc**ng applet
  what is FF?
[14:44] <MonkeyDust> firefox
[14:45] <Sidewinder1> oops, wrong nick; sorry.
[14:45] <dime01> But only using firefox under root
[14:45] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  in Gufw, Add > Simple > Allow In Both 22
[14:45] <`Korvin> EvilResistance, any idea?
[14:45] <Sidewinder1> FF=Firefox.
[14:45] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  the firewall is still enabled, so its blocking traffic
 ok thank you I am off to try that.
[14:45] <user82> hope its not to OT: short question about kernel compiling. can i compile a intel atom kernel on a intel core2duo or will gcc automatically optimize it for the cpu its running on currently?
[14:45] <`Korvin> I'm guessing its the nvidia driver that isn't letting it boot up
[14:45] <sipior> Zaitzev: try "about:plugins" in google chrome. you may already have it.
[14:45] <dime01> So at the end, I Installed java using this tuto : http://blog.tersmitten.nl/archives/829
[14:45] <Zaitzev> sipior: i don't.
[14:45] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Allow in anywhere 22?
[14:45] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  (Gufw is a graphical frontend to ufw, which is an "uncomplicated firewall" that uses iptables as its base, hence why I asked for iptables -L)
[14:45] <Pessimist> Where can I find info about performance with ATI GPUs in Ubuntu?
[14:46] <Zaitzev> sipior: I have the version 10, and it simply stopped working for me
[14:46] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  yeah that'll work
[14:46] <MonkeyDust> dime01  java is in the repos / software center
[14:46] <sipior> Zaitzev: and you're running the latest chrome?
[14:46] <pfifo> user82, you can compile a kernel for any architecture using any architecture so long as gcc supports both architectures
[14:46] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, those entry was already there... :-/
[14:46] <Zaitzev> sipior: yes I am
[14:46] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  really?
[14:46] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Yeah!22 ALLOW IN ANYWHERE and ... ANYWHERE(v6)
[14:46] <user82> pfifo, how can i tell gcc to optimize it for intel atom(or will it automatically be done when i choose "intel atom" as cpu type in the kernel config)
[14:46] <dime01> and now MonkeyDust : Yes I know but with this version firefox crashes when it try to load the applet of my website
[14:46] <pfifo> user82, thats too OT
[14:47] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, FROM
[14:47] <sipior> Zaitzev: ah well, you might try here: http://www.ubunturoot.com/2011/07/how-to-install-flash-player-11-beta-for.html
[14:47] <Aufwind> TO ACTION FROM would be the legend, I mean. :-)
[14:47] <user82> right ok
[14:47] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, I hope you understand. ^^
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> dime01  so you ruined your pc for just one custom applet to work?
[14:47] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  you're using the advanced one to set that *shrugs*  Yeah i do.  Do me a favor and uncheck the "Enabled" tickmark in Gufw
[14:47] <EvilResistance> then try to ssh from box B to box A again
[14:47] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, You mean switch to off?
[14:48] <Zaitzev> sipior: I would assume removing Flash 10 first is good, but how do I do that? (and to answer the obvious question, yes I am a Linux-noob)
[14:48] <EvilResistance> mhm, just to test
[14:48] <EvilResistance> to make sure its not Gufw being stupid
[14:48] <dime01> MonkeyDust : lol yes you can say thah but this applet is the heart of the web application Im working on
[14:48] <EvilResistance> (if turning of Gufw fixes this, then Gufw is being stupid)
[14:49] <sipior> Zaitzev: shouldn't be necessary.
[14:49] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, does not work... :-(
[14:49] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, ssh: connect to host my_ip port 22: Connection timed out
[14:49] <Zaitzev> sipior: not even for the sake of keeping the system somewhat clean?
[14:49] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  pastebin the output of sudo netstat --numeric --programs --listening --verbose | grep ssh
[14:50]  * EvilResistance is temporarily offline while in transit
[14:50] <rad_daemon> hello
[14:50] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, http://codepad.org/RoAve8zb
[14:50] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Here you go
[14:51] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Seems like weard stuff to me. :-)
[14:51] <Pessimist> Where can I find info about performance with ATI GPUs in Ubuntu?
[14:52] <Pessimist> Last I used Ubuntu with AMD/ATI cards, performance was very bad
[14:53] <Kitty_> ppl can someone tell me how to install google  earth on gnome or send me a link
[14:53] <Kitty_> :)
[14:53] <giuseppelamalfa_> Hi, i installed a .deb package, but i don't know how to open the  application in it
[14:54] <milligan> Got a lucid server that I have set up a static IP on. Yet, the machine still gets a new IP .. presumably from DHCP. What could be doiung that ?
[14:55] <`Korvin> can anyone help me? my nvidia driver is preventing my desktop manager from starting
[14:56] <pfifo> milligan, most likely you setup your static IP in the wrong place
[14:56] <milligan> hmm /etc/network/interfaces has always done the trick before..
[14:56] <Pici> giuseppelamalfa_: you can use dpkg -L to show you where the deb put files.  dpkg -L packagename
[14:56] <Fraz> hey
[14:56] <Fraz> ive just installed ubuntu. its my first time away from windows
[14:56] <pfifo> milligan, if your using netwrok manager then thats wrong
[14:57] <Fraz> how to i install stuff:o
[14:57] <milligan> pfifo, I didn't install network manager.. is that something that's gotten included by default .. ?
[14:57] <giuseppelamalfa_> And then what?
[14:57] <faLUCE>  hi. ubuntu 11.10 is supported until...?
[14:57] <queency> tnx all for helping
[14:57] <pfifo> milligan, why not just look and see if its running?
[14:57] <Pici> faLUCE: April 2013
[14:58] <Fraz> i downloaded xchat and its a .rpm file
[14:58] <Fraz> what is .rpm and what do you do with it
[14:58] <Zaitzev> sipior: Even though it says "Browser: Firefox" on the Adobe Flash Player 11 download page, it will work with Google Chrome?
[14:58] <giuseppelamalfa_> Pici: Then what should i do?
[14:58] <faLUCE> Pici: after this date, repositories will not be manteined?
[14:58] <faLUCE> what happens?
[14:58] <`Korvin> Fraz, you can install xchat with apt-get
[14:58] <milligan> pfifo, no process named anything with network, manag or mgr running
[14:58] <`Korvin> sudo apt-get install xchat
[14:59] <Fraz> whats apt-get
[14:59] <Pici> !eol | faLUCE this should explain things.
[14:59] <Jyothis> ubottu: I am not sure if I spoke here
[14:59] <Jyothis> haha
[14:59] <Pici> Jyothis: My fault, I redirected a factoid to you accidentally.
[14:59] <Jyothis> :)
[14:59] <Jyothis> No problem
[14:59] <Pici> Fraz: If this is your first time using Ubuntu, then the Software Center is probably the best way to install software. Just search for xchat in there.
[15:00] <Fraz> okay thanks
[15:00] <Fraz> brb
[15:00] <pfifo> milligan, sudo dpkg -l | grep network-manager
[15:00] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Back again?
[15:00] <Peppe01> How i can create a shortcut to an application installed via .deb package?
[15:00] <faLUCE> I don't understand what "End of Life (EOL)" means
[15:00] <milligan> pfifo, not installed
[15:00] <jbwiv> guys, I have an executable I've compiled on ubuntu 11.10 but need to run it on 10.04. I've used ldd to determine necessary shared obj files and copied each of them into its directory, and then I've tested it in chroot to make sure those are all it needs (adjusting LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly). However, when I run it on 10.04 I get a segmentation fault. Is there something I've missed here? Is it because 11.10 uses a later version of gcc? Something else?
[15:01] <Pici> faLUCE: Did you read the links there?
[15:01] <Jyothis> faLUCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-life_(product)
[15:01] <ikonia> jbwiv: run gbd against it to get a better idea
[15:01] <pfifo> milligan, paste bin your /etc/network/interfaces
[15:01] <faLUCE> Pici: sorry, I read only the first one
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> faLUCE  EOL means it is no longer supported, no updates anymore
[15:02] <user1> hi,mic not working in ubuntu 11.10
[15:02] <jbwiv> ikonia, you mean gdb?
[15:02] <uictamale> hey all.. I have ntp installed and it's running, but my computer keeps drifting pretty far.  I just ran ntpdate and it was off by over a minute.  Any ideas?
[15:02] <faLUCE> MonkeyDust: ok, but are the repositories still active?
[15:03] <MonkeyDust> faLUCE  not sure http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[15:03] <user1> hi, how to fix input volume (MIC) in ubuntu 11.10
[15:03] <Peppe01> Pici, after that what i must do?
[15:03] <Pici> Peppe01: I don't know, what are you trying to run?
[15:03] <Peppe01> i wanted to run bit.trip.runner
[15:04] <Peppe01> i know where are the files, but i don't know how to run it
[15:04] <Zaitzev> not that "installing" flash player 11 did anything...
[15:04]  * Zaitzev gives up
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> Zaitzev  what was your initial question?
[15:05] <Pici> Peppe01: Can you pastebin the output that you got?
[15:06] <Zaitzev> MonkeyDust: Adobe Flash stopped working in my Google Chrome browser recently, and I mentioned Flash 11 which has 64-bit native support. I THINK I have installed it now, but it's still not working..
[15:06] <BrandonBolton> Hello guys, I am having trouble connecting to Ubuntu server via ssh or webmin.
[15:07] <jbwiv> ikonia, if I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH that way, even gdb segfaults
[15:07] <Zaitzev> MonkeyDust: In chrome://plugins it says "Flash - Version: 11.1 r102" yet I can't play flash videos on for example metacafe
[15:07] <MonkeyDust> Zaitzev  if it's for Youtube, try this http://www.youtube.com/html5
[15:07] <pfifo> !webmin | BrandonBolton
[15:08] <lost_eden> I've just booted the live on an x96 tablet which has an accelerometer/g-meter in it - how might I go about identifying it? I can't seem to see anything that might be it in lsusb/lspci
[15:08] <izinucs> After coming out of suspend, the top bar (whatever they're calling it these days) is pixelated corrupted.  HOw do I reset it?
[15:08] <Zaitzev> MonkeyDust: And to add to my confusion, it looks like flash is "loaded" or whatever. The area where the video is showing doesn't show a "flash is not installed" message.
[15:09] <Peppe01> Here: /usr/share/bit.trip.runner/Shaders/skinnedunlit00.aeshader
[15:09] <Peppe01> /usr/share/bit.trip.runner/Effects

[15:09] <Peppe01> /usr/share/bit.trip.runner/Models
[15:09] <FloodBot1> Peppe01: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:09] <BrandonBolton> pfifo, even before I installed webmin? I couldn't even ssh into it.
[15:10] <pfifo> BrandonBolton, you should reinstall, leaving webmin out, so that it is a supported configuration
[15:10] <Fraz> yayz
[15:10] <BrandonBolton> pfifo, alright I will try that right now.
[15:10] <Fraz> thats irc installed....
[15:10] <Fraz> now why is my mouse sensetivity so high
[15:11] <Fraz> its on the lowest in the settings
[15:11] <Pici> Peppe01: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> Zaitzev  I use Chromium, works fine, maybe this link helps http://www.thewwwblog.com/install-flash-player-google-chrome-browser.html
[15:11] <leOn> hello
[15:11] <Zaitzev> MonkeyDust, uh, that's for windows
[15:12] <Zaitzev> AND it's Flash 10
[15:12] <MonkeyDust> Zaitzev  correct I was too fast ;)
[15:12] <Zaitzev> and I'm not using Chromium
[15:14] <Zaitzev> MonkeyDust: I also have libflashplayer.so in /opt/google/chrome/plugins (the new one from the Flash 11 tarball)
[15:14] <leOn> i'm not being able to find any bug report that resembles the problem i'm experiencing. In 11.10, sometimes after i minimize and maximize a window i "loose" the title bar and close/max/min buttons. It appears that the whole window is shifted up and the tittle bar is overlaped by the top panel. Any ideas how to correct this?
[15:14] <Fraz> how do i open a terminal
[15:15] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  i wanted to make sure SSH was listening for connections :P
[15:15] <izinucs> How do I reset/restart the top bar in Unity? You can see what it looks like here.. http://min.us/mSC4Dk23q
[15:15] <Zaitzev> Fraz: click on the Dash-button, type in terminal
[15:15] <Fraz> cheers
[15:15] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  given that its listening for connections on port 22, and given that you can SSH in locally on the box itself, i'm thinking its something in your network blocking it, at least locally
[15:15] <MonkeyDust> Zaitzev I only find help for old flash and ubuntu versions, or for chromium, maybe someone else has better advice or you should use chromium to get things done
[15:15] <EvilResistance> either that, or your firewall is being stupid
[15:15] <Zaitzev> izinucs: Try unity --reset in terminal
[15:16] <Jyothis> leOn: does menu bar and buttons reappear if you hover at the top end of the screen?
[15:16] <ryannathans> is a Mellanox MHEA28-XSC PCI-E express Infiniband Host Adapter natively supported?
[15:16] <Zaitzev> it's stupid if I have to change a browser to get something as dumb as flash working.
[15:16] <Pessimist> Since #flash is unavailable then I'll ask here: Where can I find old Adobe Flash browser plugin versions (for Windows and/or Ubuntu)?
[15:16] <Zaitzev> Pessimist: adobe.com ?
[15:17] <pfifo> Pessimist, actually i think its macromedia.com, look in the developers section
[15:17] <Jyothis> Pessimist: why do you need the old versions again?
[15:17] <izinucs> Zaitzev: Thanks that worked.. took a while and I thought it was logging me out because of all the screen changes .. but thanks :)
[15:17] <Zaitzev> Pessimist: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html ..
[15:17] <Zaitzev> izinucs: np :)
[15:17] <leOn> Jyothis: don't think so ... i'm only able to correct it after i double click right under the top panel, since it resizes the window and them i double click it again to maximize.
[15:18] <Jyothis> O hmm. thats odd.
[15:18] <leOn> Jyothis: seems as if the title bar is going right under the top panel, when it shouldn't
[15:18] <Jyothis> Ok. does that happen for all windows?
[15:18] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, welcome back. :-)
[15:19] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, What would you suggest me doing?
[15:19] <nishttal2> hi .. my fresh Ubuntu installation was working great till I rebooted and now I am stuck at the grub> prompt.. why would that happen and how can I fix it
[15:19] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  standby, fixing a lag issue on my end
[15:20] <gvo> nishttal2: what happens if you press enter?
[15:20] <nishttal2> gvo, i get the same grub> prompt back
[15:20] <leOn> and i'm not the only one experiencing this .. a colleague of mine says it's happening the same thing with him. As for which windows .. maybe it's beacause it's what i use more .. but i do see it happening more with chromium-browser and the terminal windows. More with chromium, actually.
[15:20] <ryannathans> is a Mellanox MHEA28-XSC PCI-E express Infiniband Host Adapter natively supported?
[15:20] <pfifo> nishttal2, did you installl using a liveUSB ?
[15:21] <nishttal2> gvo, when i press TAB.. i get a screenfull of commands i can choose from
[15:21] <nishttal2> pfifo, yes
[15:21] <Jyothis> Ok leOn.
[15:21] <nishttal2> pfifo, however, i was able to reboot several times without issue..
[15:21] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Sure!
[15:21] <pfifo> nishttal2, you might have put grub's config files on the usb by accident, hell you might of installed the whole thing on the usb. try plugging it back in and see what happens
[15:22] <leOn> Jyothis: from what i know we're using stock setup, with unity, etc
[15:22] <gvo> pfifo nishttal2 good point, did you have the usb plugged in when you rebooted?
[15:22] <Jyothis> Ok, all updates applied?
[15:22] <Jyothis> leOn: ^
[15:23] <nishttal2> gvo, pfifo I have 2 disks and setup RAD0 on 2 volumes (grub was installed on this) and RAID 1 on other 2 volumes (no grub on this)
[15:24] <nishttal2> gvo, pfifo no everything was installed on md0 (RAID0 drive, with sda1 and sdb1 as underlying disks)
[15:24] <gvo> type in boot at the grub prompt
[15:25] <pfifo> nishttal2, do you have /boot as a seperate partition on a non-raid device?
[15:25] <leOn> Jyothis: yep, to the day ... i also notice that if i minimize->maximize a chromium window i get the overlaped top panel. If then i change focus to another window with alt+tab and return focus again to the chromium window with alt-tab, the title bar is correct
[15:25] <nishttal2> pfifo, no i dont
[15:25] <`Korvin> EvilResistance, I was able to get the gui working, heres what I had to do:
[15:25] <gvo> What distro?
[15:25] <nishttal2> pfifo, gvo i dont have any partition that is NOT RAIDED
[15:25] <pfifo> nishttal2, is thei sofraid, fakeraid or realraid?
[15:25] <`Korvin> kill [k|g]dm uninstall nvidia driver, install nvidia driver start kdm
[15:25] <nishttal2> pfifo, gvo software raid
[15:26] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  i'm unsure what to do at this point, it could be anything interfering with your SSH connectivity, outbound blocking on machine B, SSH not properly listening on port 22 on Machine A (unlikely per the netstat)
[15:26] <leOn> so apparently the "shift up" is only happening on the initial redraw of the maximizing window
[15:26] <pfifo> nishttal2, for soft raid, a non raid /boot is REQUIRED
[15:26] <nishttal2> pfifo, gvo.. i used the alternate ubuntu disk to create/configure raid
[15:26] <uictamale> hey all.. I have ntp installed and it's running, but my computer keeps drifting pretty far.  I just ran ntpdate and it was off by over a minute.  Any ideas?
[15:26] <nishttal2> pfifo, gvo REALLY?? wow that must be it then.. why would it let me install without complaining???
[15:26] <Jyothis> nishttal2 / pfifo - I had a similar issue and had to force installer to create a 100 MB /boot by hand to get things really starting for 11.10
[15:26] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, I understand, the outbound blocking could be checked id I tryed to log onto my machine(A) from another machine C, right?
[15:27] <pfifo> nishttal2, grub is not running properly because it doesnt know anything about RAID, and its configs are on the raid
[15:27] <leOn> Jyothis: didn't put your name on the last message, hope you don't miss it =)
[15:27] <gvo> nishttal2: what distro?
[15:27] <nishttal2> pfifo, Jyothis aaah.. man i tried installing 3 times with the same issue.. now I know
[15:27] <nishttal2> gvo, 11.10
[15:27] <Jyothis> leOn: saw that - sounds like a bug :)
[15:27] <gvo> nishttal2: OK what happens if you type "boot"?
[15:28] <dime01> yes I fix it !!!!!
[15:28] <nishttal2> pfifo, Jyothis, gvo so do i need to reinstall the whole thing OR is there a way i can repartition??
[15:28] <nishttal2> gvo, i dont have access to the box at the moment.. will try once i reach home
[15:29] <pfifo> nishttal2, you could, copy the /boot on the raid to a suitable place. its probably more trouble than its worth if you dont have any daya to preserve yet
[15:29] <Jyothis> I went with a reinstall as I didnt have patience to try fixing it on the fly and I dont count myself an expert in that
[15:29] <gvo> As pifo says it's not nice to run /boot part on anything other than a normal partitions.
[15:29] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, sshing my machine from a machine C does not seem to work either
[15:29] <gvo> nishttal2: I'd start over.
[15:29] <leOn> Jyothis: just tried on a bunch of windows, it's happening with them all. It's not application specific
[15:29] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, drives me crazy, I hope I am not bugging you.
[15:30] <nishttal2> gvo, pfifo.. OK but is there way to boot up for now.. so i can copy some data back
[15:30] <Jyothis> Ok, I would say if you cant find a bug, file one :)
[15:30] <Jyothis> nishttal2: use a live distro
[15:30] <zykotick9> uictamale: do you have ntpd setup/running?  "ps aux | grep ntpd"
[15:30] <leOn> nishttal2: use sysrescuecd
[15:30] <gvo> nishttal2: maybe a boot or do what Jyothis  says.
[15:30] <pfifo> nishttal2, no, but you can use a liveCD and then mount the raid by hand to copy /boot
[15:30] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  then the issue is Machine A.
[15:30] <uictamale> zykotick9: yup.
[15:31] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  if you can, can you do me a favor, and (1) disable Gufw, and (2) do sudo iptables -F
[15:31] <EvilResistance> then try
[15:31] <Jyothis> leOn: Ok, I would say if you cant find a bug, file one :)
[15:31] <_Marcus> Is there a changelog for mysql-server anywhere?
[15:31] <nishttal2> gvo, pfifo, Jyothis, leOn : ok thanks guys.. btw.. does /boot partition mean i install the OS on there or just boot loader?
[15:31] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, sure, You are the one who is doing the favors here. ;-)
[15:31] <`Korvin> I have an HDD with ubuntu on it, I need to get a file from /home/derp, however, my home dir is encrypted on that hdd, how can I access those files?
[15:31] <pfifo> nishttal2, I myself use encrypted root, and i have my /boot burned to a CD for security, you could do the same
[15:32] <Jyothis> nishttal2: boot only
[15:32] <leOn> Jyothis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/107787/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-is-there-a-way-to-fix-the-maximize-window-malfunction
[15:32] <pfifo> nishttal2, /boot is only your kernel/initrd and grub's configs
[15:32] <droid-0854> Kor cryptkeeper?
[15:32] <leOn> looks like it's something prior to 11.10
[15:32] <unkr> hey i m unable to start vmware workstation 8.0.1  in kernel 3.2.1    any one help me ???
[15:32] <gvo> nishttal2: when you set up partitions just make a /boot and a / partition, the install will take care of putting the right stuff in the right places
[15:32] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, disabling Gufw by this Gui-thing? Switch to Off?
[15:32] <Jyothis> leOn: ok, good to know
[15:32] <nishttal2> pfifo, encrypted home is another can of worms... i will often have to remote in to that box.. so then I would have to keep my private key in an unencrypted folder that defeats the purpose and is too much hassle
[15:32] <EvilResistance> Aufwind:  yes.
[15:33] <EvilResistance> be right back, got to get some lunch
[15:33] <`Korvin> droid-0854, would that decrypt the directory?
[15:33] <pfifo> nishttal2, right, im just saying you 'could' put /boot on a cd even though your not using encryption, it will work for raid too
[15:33] <lost_eden> nobody got experience with accelerometers? 'find \sys -name position' returns nothing?
[15:33] <nishttal2> pfifo, yeah the only problem is I do not have a CD drive :)
[15:34] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, I disabled gufw but `sudo service ufw status` still yields `ufw start/running`. Is this ok or shall I disable the whole firewall? (If yes how do I do that?)
[15:34] <nishttal2> pfifo, i am doing everything through USB.. i guess i could do a USB /boot
[15:34] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, advising to put the boot other than the hd is out of the channels norm.
[15:34] <pfifo> nishttal2, well a usb key would suffice (although since i do it for security a read only media is required for me)
[15:35] <pfifo> Fyodorovna, what?
[15:35] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, were you asked for this info?
[15:35] <nishttal2> gvo.. thats good to know becoz that was my next question .. how do i tell the installer to put OS on / and grub on /boot.. thanks. :)
[15:35] <traum> Hello, world!
[15:35] <traum> do you see me?)
[15:35] <pfifo> Fyodorovna, check the channel logs if you are wonder about the conversation
[15:35] <nishttal2> pfifo, Jyothis, gvo 100MB enough for /boot?.. more or less?
[15:35] <desiph3r> does anyone know answer to this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11759311#post11759311
[15:36] <Jyothis> nishttal2: I have mine at 100
[15:36] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, you were not you are just advising then when not asked.
[15:36] <desiph3r> I'm tried everyting to get extended desktop to work
[15:36] <nishttal2> Jyothis, 100 seems like a lot for /boot
[15:36] <aezaerth> hello here
[15:36] <Jyothis> nishttal2: this is alos linked to a bug with certain drive chipset
[15:36] <Jyothis> as far as I can remember
[15:36] <pfifo> nishttal2, 100mb is plenty, the kernel image and initrd are small enough to fit on a floppy in most cases
[15:37] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, under a encryption it ios not needed, and under a regular install provides little protection.
[15:37] <Fyodorovna> 8is
[15:37] <nishttal2> Jyothis, pfifo, gvo .. i wish the installer was smart enough to warn me when i tried to install the bootloader on RADI
[15:37] <Jyothis> nishttal2: I left at 100 on a futuristic perspective
[15:38] <nishttal2> pfifo, Jyothis ok.. sounds good 100 it is
[15:38] <pfifo> Fyodorovna, his /boot is on a raid LVM because of setup misconfiguration, he is looking for a way to make his system bootable, there is no non-raid partition available, do you have a suggestion?
[15:38] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, I deactivated the firewall by `sudo ufw disable`. Now I have to reboot. Back in 2 minutes.
[15:38] <nishttal2> pfifo, Jyothis, gvo i do have another compiz related issue.. its cosmetic but annoying me a lot
[15:38] <Jyothis> nishttal2: you are free to experiment with the size, but 100 was what I settled as a comfortable number - ymmv
[15:38] <Sivik> anyone know how to fix the bug with vsftpd not starting right in ubuntu?
[15:39] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, raid is not my specialty, a lvm has a separate boot partition already I believe, my concern basically with was putting a boot off the hd is not really a norm, but what very few would do.
[15:39] <Sivik> anyone have any luck getting vsftpd to run correctly?
[15:39] <_Marcus> Sivik: I am running it fine.
[15:39] <Sivik> _Marcus, what version?
[15:39] <venik212> .
[15:40] <Sivik> I am getting an issue with terminating with status 1
[15:40] <nishttal2> pfifo, Jyothis, gvo i enabled desktop cube, it works fine.. but when i rotate to the next desktop.. it shows windows from the last desktop for some milliseconds.. enough to cause a flicker.. does anyone know why that is happening
[15:40] <_Marcus> Sivik: What do you mean?
[15:40] <nishttal2> pfifo, Jyothis, gvo.. does not happen on 10.10 that i run at work
[15:40] <Sivik> what version of vsftpd and ubuntu are you running?
[15:40] <pfifo> Fyodorovna, we need a temporary work around, so putting /boot on a cd is 1 way, until he said he dosent have a CD drive
[15:40] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Back again!
[15:41] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, probably a setup that is not really needed overall I suspect, some will jump in without really understanding what thet are doing, oh well. :)
[15:42] <Jyothis> nishttal2: may be your graphics driver wants a coffee? :)
[15:42] <_Marcus> Sivik: Ubuntu 11.10 and vsftpd.. well, I am still checking
[15:42] <pfifo> Fyodorovna, I use it myself with my encrypted root, as you cant sneak a keylogger into an initrd thats on a readonly medium
[15:42] <nishttal2> nishttal2, its Intel's Sandybridge onboard driver
[15:43] <nishttal2> Jyothis, ^^^
[15:43] <venik212> any ideas?
[15:43] <Jyothis> nishttal2: ok, did you check if it is a reported issue?
[15:43] <venik212> on how to get WAITING FOR HEADERS to finish?>
[15:43] <nishttal2> Jyothis, i dont even know how to articulate this :)
[15:44] <Jyothis> nishttal2: happens :)
[15:44] <Praxi> In my ongoing effort to switch my windows workstation over to linux, I need something to manage MS SQL servers.  Mainly just simple queries.  I looked @ razor, its nice, but I don't think I want to buy it yet.
[15:44] <elijah> Can someone who is running Ubuntu 11.10 and Server version: Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) pastebin the output of the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf for me? I seem to have deleted the contents of mine and apache is failing to start with the contents of the Ubuntu one https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/apache2/2.2.20-1ubuntu1.2
[15:44] <_Marcus> Sivik: vsftpd 2.3.2
[15:44] <Sivik> _Marcus, I have 11.10 and whatever version of vsftpd is installed in the repos and here is the error I get when I try and start it: http://pastebin.com/iV3gyQR5
[15:45] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, I deactivated ufw (status is inactive now) and tryed to login from the other machine. Same issue.
[15:45] <elijah> It is just a local development environment for Drupal and other sites
[15:45] <Sivik> _Marcus, how did you determine the version and how did you instlal it?
[15:45] <elijah> I need to get virtual hosts working and I think I need some data in the httpd.conf file
[15:45] <johnm> elijah: you should be able to reinstall the package
[15:45] <_Marcus> Sivik: I typed "vsftpd -version" to get the version number. I did "sudo apt-get install vsftpd" to install it. It was last year when I installed it though.
[15:46] <elijah> johnm: k, I can try that. is it apt-get reinstall apache2
[15:46] <johnm> elijah: ie: apt-get install --reinstall apache 3 (iirc)
[15:46] <johnm> apache2*
[15:46] <nishttal2> Jyothis, question about the my RAID setup.. so I have 2 disks.. i create 2 volumes on each.. then setup RAID 0 on sda1, sdb1 and RAID 1 on sdb1, sdb2... wondering if I am getting what i hope for.. .. that if one disk fails, I would still be able to recover data from RAID 1
[15:46] <_Marcus> Sivik: Can you paste what you get when you type "ps aux | grep vsftpd" please?
[15:47] <nishttal2> Jyothis, sorry RAID1 on sda2, sdb2
[15:47] <Sivik> root@NAS:/home/sivik/vsftpd-2.3.5# ps aux | grep vsftpd
[15:47] <Sivik> root     30382  0.0  0.0   9244   872 pts/0    S+   10:42   0:00 grep --color=auto vsftpd
[15:47] <Sivik> root@NAS:/home/sivik/vsftpd-2.3.5#
[15:47] <_Marcus> Next time, pastebin it please.
[15:47] <Sivik> sorry
[15:47] <Sivik> http://pastebin.com/iV3gyQR5
[15:47] <Praxi> elijah, I went and looked at my httpd.conf and its empty
[15:47] <Sivik> thats the messages in dmesg
[15:47] <pfifo> nishttal2, that looks fine, but you dont need 2 raids, you can have singel raid contain 2 or more partitions
[15:48] <mneptok> Sivik: do you have anonymous users using this FTP service, or is everyone that uses it also an acocunt holder?
[15:48] <elijah> Praxi: Very interesting! thanks a bunch for that
[15:48] <_Marcus> Sivik: Is anything written to "/var/log/vsftpd.log"?
[15:48] <Sivik> mneptok, anonymous is disabled but thats not even the issue.
[15:48] <Antigone3010> hi...
[15:48] <nishttal2> pfifo, but i want one to be RAID0 for performance and another for RAID1 for reliability
[15:48] <mneptok> Sivik: why FTP?
[15:48] <Sivik> _Marcus, not, its empty
[15:48] <AcidRain> under ubuntu, i have the issue where i cant access subdirectories on my ftp server under the user ftpuser.  i get 550 directory does not exist. what i dont understand, is why? cant be permissions. the home directory doesnt belong to ftpuser. and the upload folder doesnt either, but ftpuser can do anything to that folder
[15:48] <Praxi> I'm running a openerp server through that apache, so I know its doing something, is it possible its getting info from somewhere else?
[15:48] <Sivik> mneptok, what do you mean why ftp?
[15:48] <elijah> johnm: Thanks, I ran it and it went great, but the httpd.conf file was not updated so based on what Praxi said I think it ships empty
[15:48] <_Marcus> mneptok: The issue he is having is that it wont start up and is terminating with status code 1
[15:48] <Antigone3010> i'd like to know, is there a way to download ubuntu packages ? i try to install some on a offline machine, i have to use a usb stick
[15:49] <pfifo> nishttal2, your not going to get any performance from a sotfraid, you need realraid for that
[15:49] <mneptok> Sivik: i mean "why use FTP when SFTP is far easier and also encrypted?"
[15:49] <elijah> I guess I need to figure something else out about why virtual hosts are not working then
[15:49] <AcidRain> btw, im using ftpdpro
[15:49] <AcidRain> no wait. im using pureftpd :)
[15:49] <Sivik> mneptok, wow, i'm stupid, didn't even think about that.
[15:49] <johnm> elijah: it definately ships with content. Does the file exist - but it's empty? if so, remove it. Buit you should now have a httpd.conf.dist which you can copy in its place
[15:49] <nishttal2> pfifo, Jyothis so my rationale was to put everything on RAID0 and hourly incremental backups of everything to RAID1
[15:49] <mneptok> Sivik: sudo apt-get install openssh-server. done.
[15:49] <Sivik> mneptok, thats way easier and I totally forgot you could do it without needing any additional software
[15:49] <Sivik> yea, ssh is already running.
[15:50] <_Marcus> Sivik: Are you using the newest vsftpd version?
[15:50] <mneptok> Sivik: then all users need are accounts and FTP clients that do SFTP (e.g. Filezilla)
[15:50] <nishttal2> pfifo, yeah nothing beats realraid.. but i read somewhere that software raid0 would give better read/write than no raid at all
[15:50] <elijah> johnm: Yeah, it exists but is empty, i will remove it
[15:50] <Sivik> mneptok, I just didn't think about using sftp
[15:50] <Sivik> that makes too much damn sense.
[15:50] <Sivik> duh
[15:50] <Sivik> _Marcus, installing from repos, its 2.3.2
[15:50] <Sivik> but it doesn't matter
[15:50] <mneptok> Sivik: problem solved. go remove vsftpd stuffs.
[15:50] <Sivik> _Marcus, I will just use sftp
[15:50] <johnm> elijah: check there isn't a .dist version next to it now. If not, delete it and reinstall.
[15:50] <_Marcus> Sivik: Well if vsftpd wont start up, how will sftp work?
[15:51] <Sivik> _Marcus, cause ssh is already running.  I just logged into sftp without any issues.
[15:51] <_Marcus> Sivik: Oh. Okay
[15:51] <elijah> johnm: There wasn't a dist version, I deleted it, reinstalled and it did not put the file back
[15:51] <Sivik> mneptok, too early, just not thinking well.
[15:51] <pfifo> nishttal2, raid0 isnt going to provide any performance, raid1 will provide a bit better read performance under a few circumstances, neither provide write performance (use raid 5 for that)
[15:52] <elijah> johnm: What does yours say, if you have one?
[15:52] <mneptok> Sivik: i asked that initial question because i see *tons* of people trying to install FTP without really needing it all.
[15:52] <Sivik> mneptok, yea, I always forget about sftp
[15:52] <Sivik> I should know better
[15:52] <mneptok> Sivik: IOW, you hardly made an uncommon mistake.
[15:52] <Sivik> i'm a darn admin for a large company after all
[15:52] <nishttal2> pfifo, so why would anyone ever do RAID0
[15:52] <Sivik> RAID0 = bad
[15:52] <johnm> elijah: let me see if I have an install - 11.04?
[15:52] <pfifo> nishttal2, raid0 increases disk space
[15:53] <Sivik> pfifo, sorta
[15:53] <elijah> johnm: 11.10
[15:53] <Sivik> pfifo, just allows one partition accross multiple drives
[15:53] <mneptok> Sivik: "remote file access with end-to-end encryption has been anabled." <--- then point it out on the performance review.
[15:53] <nishttal2> Sivik, why is RAID0 bad?
[15:53] <liam__> ny one know where i can  get the skype 2.1 package
[15:53] <Sivik> cause its stripping and its not got any redundancy
[15:54] <Sivik> almost nullifies the point of RAID
[15:54] <nishttal2> Sivik, yeah but I am backing up the RAID0 volume to RAID1 for redundancy
[15:54] <Sivik> Thats what RAID10 is for
[15:54] <pfifo> nishttal2, then you should just make one big raid1
[15:54] <SunTsu> Sivik: no, because it gives you more space and faster access, so RAID0 is good for large filespaces, you don't need redundancy on
[15:54] <nishttal2> pfifo, problem is it RAID1 would have slow writes
[15:54] <Sivik> SunTsu, yea, thats true but I personally thing its dumb to just run RAID0
[15:54] <mneptok> nishttal2: you can use LVM to do the job of RAID0
[15:55] <pfifo> nishttal2, raid10 is an option, but since you only have 2 disks, your not gaining any performance, you would need 4 disks for that
[15:55] <elijah> johnm: Nevermind, httpd.conf is deprecated, apache2.conf is where it is at now a ways - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5680993#post5680993
[15:56] <nishttal2> pfifo, Sivik .. another reason i had setup this way is because the 2 disks I have are of different sizes.. 1TB and 1.5 TB
[15:56] <Praxi> elijah, so I wasn't crazy!
[15:56] <zykotick9> mneptok: the one with all the "good" alternatives today ;)
[15:56] <nishttal2> so i have 850GB on each allocated to RAID1 and the remaining on each totals to 650GB RAID0 volume
[15:56] <SunTsu> Sivik: it depends on what you need. As long as you know what you're doing it's OK. I wouldn't count on RAID as "data security measure" anyway, RAID is good for keeping a server running in case of HD failure, but it daoesn't make backup obsolete anyhow
[15:56] <johnm> elijah: ah, explains it :)
[15:57] <Sivik> SunTsu, yea, backups are always needed
[15:57] <Sivik> We have customer that are like, We have raid, we don't need backups and then their raid fails multiple drives, full data loss
[15:57] <elijah> Praxi: nope, and neither am I (thank goodness), they left it there for historical reasons I suppose.
[15:57] <pfifo> nishttal2, the slight performance you gain from a softraid isnt worth the effort your putting into this.
[15:57] <venik212> any ideas how to get rid of the WAITING FOR HEADERS stuck situation?
[15:57] <elijah> johnm and praxi - thanks for your help
[15:58] <nishttal2> pfifo, well i was thinking performance (if at all) was just a side effect.. main goal was backup/redundancy
[15:58] <SunTsu> Sivik: it's like a friend of mine: "Oh, I have a airbag, I don't need a safety belt"
[15:58] <ryannathans> is a Mellanox MHEA28-XSC PCI-E express Infiniband Host Adapter natively supported?
[15:58] <Sivik> yea
[15:58] <SunTsu> "an airbag", of course
[15:58] <Sivik> I know what you mean SunTsu
[15:58] <sipior> SunTsu: cute :-)
[15:58] <sipior> i may steal that.
[15:59] <pfifo> nishttal2, redundancy is a real benefit of raid1, but the raid0 isnt redundant so theres no need for it
[15:59] <nishttal2> pfifo, yeah but RAID0 is helping my combine the disparate disks i have into 1 volume
[16:00] <sipior> nishttal2: look into lvm.
[16:00] <pfifo> nishttal2, no its not, raid 1 can combine all the disks, without raid0
[16:00] <Ca11um> How can I remove the Guest access?
[16:00] <Ca11um> And make it so only users may login
[16:00] <SunTsu> sipior: steal what exactly?

[16:01] <diverdude> What program can i invoke from shell to view an image?
[16:01] <AcidRain> ok question about  my ftp server, i think i found the issue.
[16:01] <jpds> diverdude: eog.
[16:02] <AcidRain> <Anonymous /media/Server2/My_Documents>, but i have allow ftpuser, but deny all
[16:02] <rice_> 可以用中文吗？
 I desperately need some help to figure out why I cannot login onto my machine (A) from an other machine (B) although I can login from machine A to machine B succesfully by ssh.
[16:02] <nishttal2> sipior, can you point me to a link that i can read up about lvm
[16:03] <sipior> SunTsu: i just found the quotation humorous. sorry i said anything.
[16:03] <pfifo> nishttal2, you may want to make 5 500gb partitions and merge them all as a single raid5, then you make use of all the disk space, and get redundancy, and youll get more diskspace than a raid 1 would provide
[16:03] <diverdude> sipior: thx
[16:03] <sipior> nishttal2: for starters: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/40702/how-to-manage-and-use-lvm-logical-volume-management-in-ubuntu/
[16:03] <mneptok> nishttal2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux)
[16:04] <SunTsu> sipior: er, no need to be sorry, that "acting stupid" was coined on that friend of mine. Do what you like with that quote ;)
[16:04] <nishttal2> pfifo, sipior mneptok thanks all good ideas.. i have some reading ahead of me :).
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> Ca11um  this is less drastic http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/11/remove-the-guest-session-from-the-logon-screen-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[16:04] <pfifo> nishttal2, actually dis regard that, if your 1.5 tb drive failed, it would ruin the raid
[16:04] <Ca11um> Thanks MonkeyDust.
[16:04] <AcidRain> can anyone help me with this issue?
[16:05] <nishttal2> pfifo, yeah i was thinking that.. ok thanks
[16:05] <mneptok> nishttal2: negates having to buy RAID hardware or hope that the Linux drivers for said hardware are functional
[16:05] <Ca11um> Does Catalyst Control Center come by default with Ubuntu, if you're using an ATI card?
[16:05] <mneptok> Ca11um: no
[16:05] <Ca11um> My friend can't seem to find it, he has a problem with screen scaling
[16:05] <Ca11um> overscan or somin
[16:05] <Ca11um> I don't recall installing it myself, but I have it
[16:06] <nishttal2> mneptok, pfifo sipior actually my motherboard supports raid.. but i am told thats fake raid and worse than what Ubuntu will do
[16:06] <mneptok> Ca11um: is that person using the proprietary ATI drivers, or the FLOSS "radeon" driver.
[16:06] <Ca11um> The former
[16:06] <pfifo> nishttal2, fakeraid support in linux is not very good
[16:06] <mneptok> Ca11um: dunno if CCC comes with the proprietary drivers. i use "radeon:
[16:07] <sipior> nishttal2: my general feeling is: if you really want hardware raid, buy a decent high-end card. the crap on most motherboards does not really qualify. you'll likely have better performance, and fewer bytes will come up missing with software raid.
[16:07] <nishttal2> pfifo, if i setup a LVM.. can i have the /boot partition on there
[16:08] <applesouce> Hey I need help, my Ubuntu doesn't show my USB Drive
[16:08] <pfifo> nishttal2, no, /boot needs to be on a non LVM volume
[16:08] <nishttal2> sipior, no budget :-)
[16:08] <mgsk> Hi, all. How do I make sure a service is going to start up when the server is restarted, sshd for example?
[16:08] <sipior> nishttal2: well, that makes your decision very simple :-)
[16:08] <pfifo> nishttal2, softraid that your already using IS lvm
[16:08] <mneptok> nishttal2: yes, you can. but it's a really bad idea as then you get into chicken/egg problems.
[16:08] <mgsk> Last time I restarted my server, I couldn't ssh back in xD
[16:08] <nishttal2> pfifo, ok.. the wikipedia article is misleading then... The installers for the Arch Linux, CrunchBang, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, MontaVista Linux, openSUSE, Pardus, Slackware, SLED, SLES, and Ubuntu distributions are LVM-aware and can install a bootable system with a root filesystem on a logical volume
[16:09] <elijah> johnm and praxi - It appears httpd.conf isn't actually deprecated but just for user configurations - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2567432/ubuntu-apache-httpd-conf-or-apache2-conf
[16:09] <mneptok> nishttal2: it's not misleading. because you can in theory, but never should in practice.
[16:09] <pfifo> nishttal2, afaik grub does not support lvm, but I could be wrong
[16:09] <nishttal2> ok :)
[16:10] <Aufwind> EvilResistance, Dude, you deserve a cake or something. It works now. I don't now why, but something you told me must have delivered the solution. Thanks a loooot!
[16:10] <mneptok> nishttal2: the booting kernel lives in /boot. that kernel knows how to deal with LVM. if it's on an LVM volume itself .... chicken/egg.
[16:10] <rzx237> mgsk: run nmap against your server can show if it running the sshd
[16:11] <sipior> mneptok: the default ubuntu installer puts /boot on lvm. that's what initrd is for.
[16:11] <EvilResistance> i betcha it was the iptables -F :p
[16:11] <mgsk> rzx237: I want to be sure it's set up to automatically start.
[16:11] <EvilResistance> anyways...
[16:11] <sipior> mneptok: in fact, i just did it ten minutes ago :-)
[16:11] <applesouce> Can somebody help me with my Problem? Ubuntu isn't showing my USB-Drive
[16:11] <mneptok> sipior: and it's a bad idea.
[16:11] <pfifo> sipior, but if the initrd is on an lvm, chicken/egg
[16:11] <nishttal2> mneptok, i see.. i burnt my hands with this problem over the last 2 weeks.. ubuntu would boot up fine 2-3 times and then i would get a grub> prompt... now i know why
[16:11] <sipior> mneptok: you're mistaken.
[16:11] <[[thufir]]> anyone get phishing attempts from #ubuntu users?  very odd.
[16:11] <mneptok> sipior: i assure you, i am not. :)
[16:12] <pfifo> [[thufir]], report them in #freenode please
[16:12] <sipior> mneptok: well, at least you're confident in your ignorance. of course, that's the problem.
[16:12] <Ca11um> [[thufir]], for your free trial just enter your credit card details below
[16:13] <rzx237> mgsk: I'm sure openssh-server put upstart info in /etc/init/ssh.conf
[16:13] <carl-eric> Is it possible to make Unity's urgent notifications (the wiggling icons in the launcher) stay urgent until I actually change to that window? Right now they wiggle for a second and a half, and if I don't look during that time I miss it. The faint glow that remains around the icon is almost unnoticeable to me.
[16:13] <sipior> mneptok: perhaps you would care to explain why the ubuntu installer selects that as a default? what do you know that they do not?
[16:13] <CharminTheMoose> How do I switch off rsyslog during the boot process and just let the contents of dmesg be saved? Am trying to boot ubuntu 11.04 in 44MB RAM VM. Tryiing to hit 32MB of RAM..
[16:13] <sipior> mneptok: perhaps you should tell them.
[16:13] <[[thufir]]> lol.  no, it was odd. he was only logged onto #ubuntu, but really wanted my fb/gmail info.    seems like #ubuntu wouldn't be the place to look for that stuff.
[16:14] <mneptok> sipior: i have. when i worked there. but it's a d-i inheritance no one wants to dance with.
[16:14] <Ca11um> Will it be possible for me to get my Microsoft headset to work on Ubuntu?
[16:14] <Ca11um> Currently I cannot hear any sound whatsoever, as my monitor has no inbuilt sound
[16:14] <Ca11um> speakers*
[16:14] <op1um56> cant seem to join freenode?
[16:14] <mneptok> sipior: hence, myself and other Senior Ubuntu Support Analysts for Canonical always recommended against it, with the full blessing of the dev team.
[16:15] <op1um56> set +i mode
[16:15] <pfifo> op1um56, /join #freenode
[16:15] <AcidRain> my ftp server WILL work if i add each individual directory to conf to allow listing and downloading. how can i stop from adding 3000 directories to config?
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> Ca11um  in a Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M
[16:15] <sipior> mneptok: and yet you made the installer...
[16:15] <op1um56> your the best
[16:15] <op1um56> thnank
[16:15] <carl-eric> MonkeyDust, I solved my earlier problem - create a launcher with alacarte, then navigate to the launcher and run it. after that unity's dash will find it
[16:15] <mneptok> sipior: no, Debian did. as i said.
[16:15] <zlynx> hi guys, need some help on citrix client ..anybody has ideas on the error like network dial=up is not connecting..
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> carl-eric  i'm glad alacarte did the trick => <3 alacarte
[16:16] <sipior> mneptok: ah, well they know what they're doing, at least. anyway, this isn't going anywhere.
[16:17] <rzx237> I can't find package prism/xulrunner in oneiric, where is it going to?
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> carl-eric  OT: about the only thing that keeps me from using Unity, is the absence of a notification area, where I can see radiotray and liferea
[16:18] <pfifo> !citrix | zlynx
[16:19] <Sach> Trying to open Facebook in Ubuntu 11.04.  Page loads for half a second then just stops, and the screen remains blank.  Any solution please?
[16:20] <UrB> Sach: MTU settings
[16:20] <zlynx> ubottu: i believe i've already installed the client successfuly.. my problem is connecting to it's ica files ..
[16:20] <Sach> UrB, what is that please?
[16:20] <UrB> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit
[16:21] <pfifo> !details | zlynx
[16:21] <UrB> adjust that from router -> should work
[16:21] <hydester> is there any robust file copy/queuing program that will do things like retry attempts to connect to remote server via cifs?  just looking around before rolling my own features to my current copy script
[16:21] <Sach> UrB: Thanks.  Is there a way to test my current MTU settings?
[16:22] <UrB> 1492 worked for me
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> hydester  rsync has plenty options
[16:22] <q0s> i am running a harddrive check atm and during this my system is / partition gets full because /var/www/messages|kern.log|syslog is about 30gb. is there a way to disable logging?
[16:22] <UrB> it should be automatic, but sometimes the network devices just don't work together
[16:22] <Ca11um> Thanks for the help guys, got sound sorted
[16:22] <carl-eric> MonkeyDust, I'm just about to the point where I consider Unity usable. Took me some days of configuring and tinkering to get to the level of features (not just usability) I had previously on gnome2
[16:22] <Ca11um> Ubuntu had the wrong hardware set by default
[16:23] <carl-eric> MonkeyDust, any idea about the "urgent" icons? :-)
[16:24] <MonkeyDust> carl-eric  nah, i use gnome-classic ;)
[16:24] <pfifo> q0s, delete the logfile, most programs that create logs, only append to existing files, and if the file doesnt exist, then logging = disabled. Im 90% sure klog operates like this
[16:27] <q0s> pfifo, i did via console and "rm". but i recreated them and set the proper permissions. the wired thing is that "df" shows that there is still no free space. and i am sure i delete the right files ;) "baobab" clearly showed it
[16:27] <zykotick9> Sach UrB do either of you know a method of "test my current MTU settings"?  I found where you can set it if ifconfig, but can't find and perference in ifconfig's output.  couldn't find a proc for specifically mtu either :(
[16:27] <applesouce> Please help my USB-Drive isn't shown by Ubuntu
[16:27] <pfifo> q0s, are you out of inodes? `df -i`
[16:28] <q0s> pfifo, /dev/sda6            3276800<PHONE_NUMBER>473   14% /
[16:28] <Sach> zykotick9:  I dont know, but i think this will help me too!
[16:29] <zykotick9> Sach: UrB then man page just references the setting of mtu
[16:29] <pfifo> q0s, then something is using your diskspace, du program can be used to find out what is taking up so much space
[16:32] <q0s> pfifo, yeah. but i am using the gui application "baobob". its default in ubuntu and it showed me the huge 3 log files before. the wired thing is that baobob shows that there should be plenty of space but df shows its full. and the system feels as it is full. firefox is a pain currently. all at slowmotion. but the cpu is only at 20%
[16:32] <syddraf> I found a page that describes a way to disable the tap-to-click functionality of my trackpad, but when i run the provided script, I receive this error: http://pastebin.com/yA5015Qz  Which package do I need to install in order to make this work?
[16:32] <philipballew> If I want to test the upstream kernel for a bug on my 64 bit system. What deb would I download http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.3-rc7-precise/
[16:33] <pfifo> q0s, I dont trus baobob, use du please
[16:33] <MrSassyPants> Hey, what's the least problematic way to install a newer version of something on 10.04lts ?
[16:33] <friktion> As a programmer and an computer nerd, please help a bro get into space :) http://metroinspace.com/se/view/cpys/Space_bat_fick_sin_chans_Far_jag go in there and vote, sorry for spamming but i need every vote i can collect :) thanks allot
[16:33] <q0s> pfifo, ok. mom
[16:34] <kion> Good Morning, I did a fresh Ubuntu install on my computer wich has an Nvidia GTX 260M video card, and under the aditional drivers
[16:34] <Sach> How do I know if my MTU settings in ubuntu 11.04 are good?
[16:34] <zykotick9> MrSassyPants: 1st check if there is a backport (there probably won't be), 2nd go looking for lucid PPAs (and hope for the best)
[16:34] <kion> The system shows me 4 choices
[16:34] <MrSassyPants> zykotick9, whats a lucid ppa
[16:34] <kion> Which one should I install?
[16:34] <zykotick9> MrSassyPants: Lucid is the codename for 10.04
[16:36] <ROBOT1024> Good night
[16:36] <zykotick9> MrSassyPants: see "/msg ubottu backports" and "/msg ubottu ppa" for details.  good luck.  sometime "latest" of something isn't the best.
[16:36] <kion> Nvidia version 173   or  Current or actualizations post launch??
[16:36] <kion> I am confused
[16:37] <pfifo> kion, try the current
[16:38] <kion> pfifo: thanks, what are the differences anyway?
[16:38] <kion> pfifo: Can I  change that in the future? :)
[16:38] <pfifo> kion, between 173 and current, the current supports more cards. im not sure what the other 2 are
[16:38] <pfifo> kion, yes you can try them all 1 by 1 if you like
[16:39] <kion> pfifo: Ok thanks!
[16:39] <pfifo> kion, but current should be all you need
[16:39] <zykotick9> kion: does one say "recommended"?
[16:39] <races> Hi Everyone, My ubuntu system is taking very long to load when I initiate it. I have installed bootchart and hosted the image here http://www.filedropper.com/races-t410-oneiric-20120310-1_1 . Is this the right place to ask these questions?
[16:39] <kion> pfifo: Yes the one that sais Current
[16:39] <pfifo> zykotick9, current is recommended (i use nvidia too)
[16:40] <q0s> pfifo, how do i limit the output to just show the files over ... lets say ... 1gb?
[16:41] <kion> zykotick9: the problem with me is that I have had random X crashes with Nvidia drivers, and that was the reason I decided to do a fresh install!
[16:41] <Bruce___> Cannot access Facebook.  How do I know if this due to bad mtu settings?
[16:41] <zykotick9> races: are bootchart images to large for imagebin (it is an image right)?  i'm no help, but i would have been interested to see it - but captcha download, no thanks ;).
[16:41] <pfifo> q0s, use sort to list by size, something like this du -chs * | sort -n
[16:42] <kion> zykotick9: I will try version current, and not mess with downloading and installing the driver from Nvidias webpage as I did before.
[16:42] <UrB> Bruce___: by adjusting it lower from the router - if it helps, that was the cause
[16:42] <kion> zykotick9: Will see how that impacts glxgears
[16:43] <Bruce___> UrB : Thanks,  suggestions for how to do that?
[16:43] <pfifo> q0s, actually to revers sort by size this is ideal du -cs * | sort -nr
[16:43] <zykotick9> kion: glxgears is a terrible test - but one i just all the time ;)
[16:43] <UrB> Bruce___: that depends on your type of router
[16:43] <zykotick9> s/just/use/
[16:43] <UrB> usually it's fairly easy to find
[16:43] <races> zykotick9: the image is really big, that is why I uploaded there. I wrote in the ubuntu forum and posted the picture and it was impossible for people to read it. that is why I used that hosting place to put the picture. what other service can I use to show you the picture?
[16:43] <UrB> open the admin web page and look around
[16:44] <kion> zykotick9:  do you know a better test?
[16:44] <Bruce___> urB: do u mean my router ip address?
[16:44] <zykotick9> races: !paste suggests http://imagebin.org/?page=add for images, have you tried it?
[16:45] <zykotick9> kion: well, running somesort of demanding 3d application is one way ;)
[16:45] <kion> maybe OpenArena and showing FPS.. or FlightGear!
[16:45] <zykotick9> kion: glxgears will be greatly affected by any hsync you might be running!
[16:45] <sw0rdfish> oh oh what does this mean?
[16:45] <Thraspic> I made my first icon theme, which is working fine, except that gimp.png is not being used by gimp, it's still using its usual icon.  Should I name it something other than gimp.png?  Or does gimp need to be told to use the system icon theme?
[16:45] <sw0rdfish> [99593.256800] phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x3090 with error -110
[16:46] <Bruce___> UrB: I know mt gateway IP address if that helps?
[16:46] <Bruce___> *my
[16:46] <zykotick9> kion: OpenArena is ok, it's the Quake3 engine remember (so rather low h/w requirements)
[16:47] <UrB> Bruce___: you haven't ever changed your router settings?
[16:47] <Bruce___> UrB:  No
[16:48] <races> I did not know that service before.... here it goes http://imagebin.org/203055
[16:48] <pfifo> races, what was your original question?
[16:48] <kion> zykotick9:  ok time to restart to activate the driver, I will be back in 30 seconds!
[16:49] <races> My system (Ubuntu) is taking too long to boot... I want help to make load faster
[16:49] <pa> hi, please help. I updated ubuntu, but the stupid installer didnt realize once again that grub was installed in a different disk. now i get grub rescue>
[16:49] <pa> i tried to boot from rescue, setting the root first
[16:49] <EvilResistance> races, define "too long to boot"
[16:49] <pfifo> races, how long is 'long'
[16:49] <EvilResistance> erm
[16:49] <pa> then the prefix to boot/grub
[16:49] <EvilResistance> pa ^
[16:49] <EvilResistance> mishighlight
[16:49] <pa> but if i do insmod linux, i get symbol not found "grub_mm_base"
[16:50] <pa> any idea?
[16:50] <q0s> pfifo, wired. http://pastebin.com/9XpmweD7
[16:51] <races> Approx 1 min and 20 seconds... My computer is a lebovo t410 with an I7 processor and 4gb of ram...
[16:51] <pa> i tried to google, but got no helop
[16:51] <pa> people with this problem eventually had to use livecd
[16:51] <pa> and i cant
[16:51] <pa> as i have no cd drive anymore
[16:51] <pa> and the machine doesnt boot from usb
[16:51] <skmsmslk> where to c++ language and compile ?
[16:51] <goldins> pa: your best bet is to just say root (hd0,x) kernel (hd0,x)/you/can/tab/complete/here initrd (hd0,x)/you/can/tab/complete/here/too boot
[16:51] <oneadvent_> how do i get an ubuntu phone??
[16:52] <goldins> oneadvent_: you get a phone and install ubuntu on it.
[16:52] <oneadvent_> goldins: can you link me and will it work on verizon in usa?
[16:52] <goldins> oneadvent_: no, and no.
[16:52] <UrB> Bruce___: seems you can also set it at computer -> http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/03/ifconfig-7-examples-to-configure-network-interface/
[16:52] <pfifo> q0s, run a filesystem check
[16:52] <UrB> Bruce___: 6. there
[16:52] <oneadvent_> goldins: :)
[16:52] <pa> goldins, you mean set root, set kernel and set initrd?
[16:52] <pa> then boot?
[16:52] <UrB> try that with value 1492
[16:52] <pa> i try
[16:52] <goldins> pa: yep, that's what the grub menu.lst says
[16:53] <swick> I cant play any video on ubuntu 12.04. It seems like the xserver is crashing and the lightdm login screen gets shown. I redirected the output to a file and it says: [0x7f89cc001268] xcb_xv vout display error: X server failure
[16:53] <swick> vlc: Fatal IO error 11 (Die Ressource ist zur Zeit nicht verfügbar) on X server :0.0.
[16:53] <luisr> can anyone please tell me the channel for aricrack.ng polease
[16:53] <luisr> please
[16:53] <goldins> pa: there's a command in there to read files (it might be cat, but I forget) and then you can tab complete the location of menu.lst and see what it says, follow it's example
[16:53] <Bruce___> UrB: Thanks
[16:53] <pfifo> races, is there any paticular place in the boot sequence that it hangs for a 'long' time? you may need to boot without 'quiet splash' to get feedback
[16:53] <savid> does anyone here use maximus?  I'm having this weird issue with gnome-terminal on multiple monitors.  It seems that when I maximize it moves the window to my main monitor, so I'm not able to maximize on my secondary monitor.  Any ideas why this happens?
[16:54] <LjL> luisr: it's very imaginatively named #aircrack-ng
[16:54] <q0s> pfifo, i am doing this with another drive, which imho makes the logs go crazy and using up all space. besides this, its about my / partition. i need to umount it check the fs, right?
[16:54] <luisr> lol thanks
[16:55] <hariom> Is there any tool for generating RSS feeds? I know a lot of RSS readers but not any RSS generator. A tool which provides few default template for adding title, link description etc
[16:55] <`Korvin> ls
[16:55] <pfifo> q0s, yes, you cant check a mounted filesystem, you can `sudo touch /forcefsck` and reboot
[16:55] <`Korvin> habbit
[16:55] <pa> goldins, i get error no loaded kernel
[16:55] <pa> i mean i can only "set" kernel
[16:56] <pa> if i try "linux" i get unknown command
[16:56] <pa> and if i insmod linux i get symbol not found grub_mm_base
[16:57] <donsd> sudo -s changes user to root, how do I change back to regular user?
[16:57] <LjL> donsd: exit
[16:57] <`Korvin> my grub broke, and I reverted back to windows boot loader, how can I fix grub?
[16:57] <donsd> LjL Thanks. Only way?
[16:57] <pfifo> !grub | `Korvin
[16:57] <crunchybumble> in grep regex \. doesn't seem to escape a period. Example: grep .*\.txt$ will grap file.txt and also notatxt
[16:57] <pfifo> donsd, ctrl+d
[16:57] <LjL> donsd: why, what's wrong with it?
[16:58] <donsd> Oh, I see what you are saying.
[16:58] <donsd> Thank you,  LjL.
[16:58] <`Korvin> can't you just type exit?
[16:58] <cancer> i can't get into kubuntu, i tried this http://paste.ubuntu.com/880630/
[16:59] <donsd> I thought he meant to exit Linux.
[16:59] <races> pfifo: it doesnt look like any particular process is taking too long. According to what i read, the gray line means the process is iddle, so i dont understand why it takes so long
[16:59] <q0s> pfifo, thanks. can i abort an filesystem check when its currently searching for bad blocks?
[16:59] <crunchybumble> ah. \\. you need to escape the backslash, so that its read as \.
[16:59] <pfifo> q0s, are you doing a filesystem check on / now?
[17:00] <carl-eric> How can I turn on "emulate3buttons" in Unity?
[17:00] <cancer> ! i can't get into kubuntu, i tried this http://paste.ubuntu.com/880630/ | #ubuntu
[17:00] <cancer> :D
[17:00] <q0s> pfifo, no. another drive. no system partition... an old storage drive.
[17:00] <cancer> ANYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[17:01] <pfifo> q0s, yes you can cancel it
[17:01] <`Korvin> pfifo, I ran boot-repair, and thats what made me only able to boot windows7
[17:01] <syddraf> I found a page that describes a way to disable the tap-to-click functionality of my trackpad, but when i run the provided script, I receive this error: http://pastebin.com/yA5015Qz  Which package do I need to install in order to make this work?

[17:01] <StevenX> Hi. If I am using FreeNX to connect to my computer (FreeNX uses SSH), will my data be safe even from people on my wifi network?
[17:02] <pfifo> races, is it waiting for drives/partitions to become available that arent connected to your system?
[17:02] <orionsonofneptun> l
[17:02] <q0s> pfifo, dmesg | tail works. there is always a fresh output about drive errors of the drive i am currently checking. where does this data come from? i mean it has to be read somewhere
[17:03] <MK``> What precisely is the 'cached' ram listed in system monitor? Just stuff it's loaded into ram that you've used before but hasn't been swapped?
[17:03] <mneptok> cancer: do NOT repeat your question every minute.
[17:03] <pfifo> q0s, the data dmesg outputs is generated by the kernel using the function printk()
[17:03] <Praxi> hmm if I disable libnotify in pidgin, will that disable it showing tray icon on new messages too?  really all I want is no tray icon for login/logout messages.
[17:03] <AcidRain> how do i clear all of my preferences for firefox. its stopping me from logging into my squirrelmail email because its making my username in caps :/

[17:03] <hariom> Is there any tool for generating RSS feeds? I know a lot of RSS readers but not any RSS generator. A tool which provides few default template for adding title, link description etc
[17:03] <AcidRain> clearing all private data didnt work -.-
[17:04] <AcidRain> epic fail on firefox
[17:04] <races> pfifo: That question is way over my knowledge. What is the easy way to know if the system is waiting for drives/partitions?
[17:04] <upset> Asking again: Installed Live Android to a usb. Formatting options in nautilus and gparted are gone. How do I clean this thing?
[17:04] <pfifo> races, look at /etc/fstab and see if any drives are missing

[17:05] <AcidRain> support my ubuntu question
[17:05] <upset> mneptok: I need ubuntu support.
[17:05] <orionsonofneptun> ok folks please help me get the proper firmware for broadcom bcm4318

[17:05] <cancer> bazhang: i tried this and now stuck, i still haven't solved my issue.
[17:05] <upset> I need to erase this drive. That's an ubuntu question because I need to do it in ubuntu.
[17:05] <orionsonofneptun> so is my pee pee
[17:06] <orionsonofneptun> ive been to that link it dont work son
[17:06] <upset> orionsonofneptun: Really? You know you're not supposed to talk like that.
[17:06] <orionsonofneptun> sorry
[17:06] <szal> orionsonofneptun: define 'dont work'
[17:06] <mneptok> upset: gParted
[17:06] <uictamale> hey all.. I have ntp installed and it's running, but my computer keeps drifting pretty far.  I just ran ntpdate and it was off by over a minute.  Any ideas?
[17:06] <upset> mneptok: I just said that it wasn't an option in gparted.
[17:06] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> How do I set an Ubuntu Partition as bootable? (Windows is a jerk)
[17:06] <mneptok> uictamale: if ntp is actually running, ntpdate will fail.
[17:07] <upset> mneptok: Gparted is saying it's all unallocated.
[17:07] <AcidRain> i just want my firefox passwords to be erased and actually be erased
[17:07] <AcidRain> how do i do this?
[17:07] <upset> Acidrain: Erase config folders?
[17:07] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Try firefox preferences
[17:07] <mneptok> upset: the the Live Android install you did borked things badly. try asking the Android people.
[17:07] <uictamale> mneptok: Interesting.. then it appears ntpd is crapping out for some reason.
[17:07] <orionsonofneptun> terminal says command not found
[17:07] <Sivik> EpsilonSigmaUltr, use fdisk /dev/sda#
[17:07] <OneFix_Work> I've got a problem with Compiz on 11.10...it doesn't seem to be working with Gnome Classic
[17:07] <Sivik> then there is an option to set bootable
[17:07] <mneptok> AcidRain: mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-backup
[17:08] <orionsonofneptun> ~$ lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[17:08] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> And what does that command do?
[17:08] <AcidRain> mneptok: so i have to lose all of my firefox preferences just to erase a password?
[17:08] <upset> mneptok: There is absolutely no safe thing to do for situations like this? I have to go crying to the Android kids?
[17:08] <mneptok> AcidRain: no, you can go into the Firefox prefs and delete a single password. but you asked how to clear data.
[17:08] <pfifo> orionsonofneptun, `sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source` is all I had todo to get the driver working
[17:08] <q0s> AcidRain, u can delete them in the privacy settings of your ff.
[17:08] <orionsonofneptun> it should identify card
[17:09] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Sorry to be questioning, but I run a server on this computer
[17:09] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> so I need to be careful
[17:09] <AcidRain> q0s: that dont work. firefox is haxing me
[17:09] <races> pfifo: there are two drives missing /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6... what shoud I do?
[17:09] <AcidRain> i have no option but to delete everything it appears
[17:09] <mneptok> upset: gParted works for the vast majority of people. they do not lose the ability to format. so ... what caused you to have this issue? seemingly Android. that makes it an Android problem.
[17:09] <AcidRain> all my plugins will be lost =(
[17:09] <q0s> AcidRain, what does it do exactly?
[17:09] <pfifo> races, can youi pastebin youe fstab, let me check it before I advise you

[17:10] <StevenX> Hi. If I am using FreeNX to connect to my computer (FreeNX uses SSH), will my data be safe even from people on my wifi network?
[17:10] <rzx237> orionsonofneptun: I was using broadcom 4318 two years ago, I tought b43-fwcutter package did everything for me
[17:10] <AcidRain> on the squirrelmail interface, it saves my password and username from another site. and its in caps. so i cant login
[17:10] <AcidRain> clearing all private data doesnt work
[17:10] <trism> AcidRain: you can always export your bookmarks before doing anything, so you don't lose them
[17:10] <AcidRain> but this is the 2nd time this has happened. when will an update be available
[17:11] <races> pfifo: Do you want me to send you the link here?
[17:11] <pfifo> races, yes please
[17:11] <upset> mneptok: I mean, I just wrote the iso to it with a typical dd blah of blah
[17:12] <mneptok> upset: you wrote the Android ISO to *what*?
[17:12] <carl-eric> I have configured my marble mouse according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Logitech_Marblemouse_USB with the xorg.conf.d file. The file is read, the right options scroll by in the xorg log, but the middle mouse button emulation (by pressing left+right) does not work. Any ideas?
[17:12] <q0s> AcidRain, i would think that your whole ff profile has messed up. export your bookmarks and the other stuff u need, then backup the old profile and delete ~/.mozilla . after this let ff create a new one
[17:12] <races> pfifo: http://pastebin.com/U9MtnyFY
[17:12] <upset> mneptok: To a usb drive. /dev/sdc

[17:13] <AcidRain> q0s: its my plugins i dont want to reconfigure
[17:13] <AcidRain> i have no bookmarks lol
[17:13] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> unafk
[17:14] <UrB> Bruce___: did it help?
[17:14] <pfifo> races, no sda5 and 6 are you root and swap, their not missing. and thats not why your system is taking time too boot. are you running any extra startup scripts on boot? whats in your /etc/rc.local
[17:14] <orionsonofneptun> ok its installed the os says firmware still missing is thier an activation commad or what next
[17:14] <Bruce___> UrB:  Not really...still trying to figure it out   :s
[17:15] <q0s> AcidRain, sorry, i dont know exactly where those settings are stored. but the most practical solution is to create a new one. otherwise u can spend hours with keeping some of the files in ~/.mozilla and to test if everything went fine
[17:16] <pfifo> AcidRain, I know where passwords are sored
[17:16] <AcidRain> q0s: too late. lol
[17:16] <zacarias> I can't see thumbnail previews in Nautilus (neither in Gnome-Shell nor in Unity)
[17:16] <AcidRain> pfifo: for future reference, where?
[17:17] <rzx237> orionsonofneptun: yes you need the firmware, try to find it on google: broadcom-wl-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.bz2
[17:17] <races> pfifo: I am very sorry for malinterpreting the file. My rc.local does nothing it only says exit 0... do you want me to copy it and paste it on pastebin?
[17:17] <pfifo> AcidRain, edit->prefrences->security->saved passwords->remove all
[17:18] <orionsonofneptun> under system hardware additanal drivers it is not present i just used terminal to install driver what the heck
[17:18] <AcidRain> pfifo: great, could ahve told me that 10seconds ago
[17:19] <pfifo> races, no thats the default. I dont see anything that could be slowing your boot process, are you sure something is slowing it down? have you ever booted a different linux distro faster?
[17:19] <orionsonofneptun> i just installed it why wont it sho up
[17:19] <rzx237> orionsonofneptun: what did you install?
[17:19] <q0s> AcidRain, i told you that you can delete them in the settings.
[17:20] <AcidRain> ok, one last question for today. how do i make a cron job not send me an email when it completes?
[17:20] <sadov> hoe do yo will feel if you got an obituary at your front door :D
[17:20] <pfifo> AcidRain, make sure the command doesnt produce any output
[17:21] <AcidRain> so what do i google search for? outputless cron job?
[17:21] <q0s> AcidRain, imho the job itself may not output anything...
[17:21] <races> pfifo: When I intalled ubuntu, it used to boot in 20 seconds (no more), now it is taking 1 minutes and 20 seconds. I dont know whether this time is normal or not, but it has relatively increased since I installed ubuntu on this computer.
[17:21] <q0s> you can redirect everything to /dev/null
[17:21] <marcules> Good Evening
[17:21] <pfifo> AcidRain, google search for man crontab
[17:21] <satyanash> AcidRain, generally done by using a quiet switch. -q or something similar..
[17:23] <pfifo> races, unless you can identify a problem in the startup, theres not much more I can do, you could try reinstalling, and keep track of the changes you make, so that if it happens again youll be able to say what package is the culprit
[17:24] <wunnle> hello.
[17:24] <Waza> Hi.
[17:24] <pfifo> greetings
[17:24] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> How do I make a Partition Bootable?
[17:25] <races> pfifo: Thank you very much. I think I am going to reinstall from 0 the new distribution 12.05 when it comes out. In the meantime I am going to keep this for a while. I do appreciate your help.. thanks
[17:25] <Waza> Use tan-1 EpsilonSigmaUltr
[17:25] <wunnle> sometimes when i press alt+tab my unity crashes (totally randomly). what may cause this?
[17:25] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> tan-1? Please explain.
[17:25] <pfifo> wunnle, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/705708
[17:26] <Praxi> so I installed kubuntu desktop? I think it was, how do I uninstall that, or go back to default?
[17:26] <Waza> CTRL + ALT + F3 EpsilonSigmaUltr
[17:26] <Waza> And enter it there
[17:26] <pfifo> Praxi, when you are logging in there is a dropdown box you can use to select your session
[17:27] <Praxi> ya I did that pfifo, but I notice when I'm booting I still see the splash screens for kbuntu, is that ok?  I'm just concerned because I have a lot of programs I can't launch by clicking on the icon.
[17:29] <pfifo> Praxi, its fine to have gnome/unity/kde all installed at once, if its just the bootsplash your worried about you could research ways to change the `plymouth` settings
[17:29] <RealKillaz> what is the safest way to upgrade kernel on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server edition?
[17:29] <pfifo> RealKillaz, upgrade using the repos
[17:30] <rbrooks> safest backup and clean install hahaha
[17:30] <Praxi> mainly just concerned because I can't launch dbvis or a libre office program, no errors on screen, it just goes away lol
[17:30] <pfifo> Praxi, try running them from a command line and see if it gives any useful errors
[17:30] <rbrooks> i botched lts upgrade
[17:31] <marcules> Someone got an idea to following issue? I've got an lenovo thinkVision monitor, which is connected to my t420 thinkpad over the digital port - the monitor is detected by the system ( http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/vevt7702/Bildschirmfoto2.png ) but the screen keeps being blank. I've added xorg-edgers/ppa and made an update&&upgrade (after that, compiz decided to die, but with it deactivated everything seems to be just fine).
[17:31] <marcules> *and it's on natty
[17:32] <RealKillaz> pfifo, alreday did. I'm receiving the following message for the kernel The following packages have been kept back:
[17:32] <RealKillaz>   landscape-common linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server
[17:32] <RealKillaz> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
[17:32] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> D:
[17:32] <RealKillaz> pfifo, apt-get upgrade is not upgrading the linux-kernel
[17:33] <Praxi> marcules, what video chipset?  on nvidia, had to go into nvidia x settings and enable twinview
[17:33] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Ctrl+Alt+F3 brought me to the interface of death, and I had to reboot
[17:33] <marcules> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1515783 @praxi
[17:33] <marcules> It's an Intel chipset
[17:34] <pfifo> RealKillaz, you can apt-get install <held back package> if you really wantthe newer kernel
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> EpsilonSigmaUltr  the interface of death? alt-arrow left brings you back to your scren
[17:34] <john38> Does Precise Pangolin use more cpu cores for multitask apps?
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> screen*
[17:34] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> that would have helped...
[17:34] <barbadillo> hi all, I have to change my hard disk but I want to keep my ubuntu os as it is now
[17:34] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> derp -.-
[17:34] <Praxi> seen someone else with a similar issue, but I don't know how to fix it on the intels sorry marcules
[17:34] <john38> or Oneiric Ocelot
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> john38  ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[17:34] <milen8204> I cant catch any sound whit my microphone? What should I di ?
[17:35] <MonkeyDust> milen8204  in a Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M
[17:35] <q0s> barbadillo, u can copy you whole partition with gparted from the old to the new drive. ..
[17:35] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> erg...
[17:35] <q0s> *your
[17:35] <marcules> :/
[17:35] <marcules> darn
[17:35] <barbadillo> q0s, even if it is the boot partition?
[17:35] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I guess I have to install ubuntu all over again and copy my files from the other partition...
[17:36] <pfifo> RealKillaz, or if you want that message to go away you can remove the meta-package that was used to originally install the kernel/landscape/etc
[17:36] <barbadillo> q0s, I mean, with grub and all the stuff
[17:36] <q0s> barbadillo, u just replace the actual harddrive with a new one?
[17:36] <milen8204> MonkeyDust, thanks will try
[17:36] <barbadillo> q0s, not yet, I'm wandering how to do that
[17:36] <trism> RealKillaz: or apt-get dist-upgrade; which is generally necessary when upgrading kernel metapackages since they install new packages
[17:36] <RealKillaz> pfifo, can I run apt-get dist-upgrade without problems?
[17:37] <carl-eric> EpsilonSigmaUltr, what exactly is your problem?
[17:37] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I need to make my ubuntu partition bootable
[17:37] <Praxi> How do I launch libreoffice calc from the command line? I've been searching, but not getting lucky.
[17:37] <RealKillaz> trism, ok that wouldn't be any problem?
[17:37] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I tried to reinstall windows and it de-bootabled Ubuntu
[17:37] <barbadillo> Praxi, try oocalc
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> EpsilonSigmaUltr  how did you install ubuntu?
[17:37] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I am currently running the livecd
[17:37] <pfifo> RealKillaz, supposedly, upgrading is meant to be safe and seamless, but im not going to say that it never has problems.
[17:37] <crizzy> Praxi: localc
[17:38] <AcidRain> http://acidshower.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=177&sid=5a212993301ec415792fcb8b386529d3
[17:38] <q0s> barbadillo, connect both drives, run gparted. copy your partition(s) to the new drive. shutdown. disconnect the old drive and connect the new drive to the sata plug u used with the old drive.
[17:38] <q0s> cross your fingers, my drive check is at 99%
[17:38] <pfifo> RealKillaz, fresh install is usually much easier than an upgrade
[17:38] <MonkeyDust> EpsilonSigmaUltr  first install windows, then linux, windows tends to ruin every OS that does not start with the letters, W.I.N.D.O.W.S
[17:38] <carl-eric> EpsilonSigmaUltr, you can simply reinstall the grub bootloader: http://www.memorylack.com/2011/01/recover-ubuntu-grub.html
[17:38] <RealKillaz> pfifo, in this case fresh install is not an option...
[17:39] <trism> pfifo: dist-upgrade is not the same as upgrading to a new ubuntu version
[17:39] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> ty
[17:39] <barbadillo> q0s, ok thanks I'll try
[17:39] <RealKillaz> pfifo, maybe in the future when we have puppet etc installed...
[17:39] <marcules> goddamnit, I'll just buy an VGA-cable
[17:39] <marcules> >.>
[17:39] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> yeah, Windows is a jerk
[17:39] <Dmole> anyone find that "hdparm -S 244 /dev/sde" is no longer working?
[17:39] <q0s> barbadillo, there are tutorials out there which explain that in more detail, just google
[17:39] <marcules> damn proprietary display connectors
[17:39] <q0s> barbadillo, but it is very easy with gparted.
[17:39] <trism> RealKillaz: and yes, generally not an issue, although you should always be careful when using apt-get dist-upgrade that it doesn't remove anything it shouldn't (but this is generally not a problem on stable releases)
[17:39] <carl-eric> MonkeyDust, EpsilonSigmaUltr: I solved a similar issue differently though - i have windows and ubuntu on different drives and simply select the boot drive with F12 on the bios post screen
[17:40] <carl-eric> Hi - I have configured my Logitech Marble Mouse according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Logitech_Marblemouse_USB (I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric). In the xorg log I can see that it recognizes the mouse and has emulate3buttons set to "true"
[17:40] <carl-eric> however, xinput list-props shows "Evdev Middle Button Emulation (253): 0" - and the 3 button emulation does not work
[17:40] <carl-eric> Any Ideas?
[17:40] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> if ubuntu was set to bootable, I would even delete windows
[17:40] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I tried to reinstall because the Windows networking fails
[17:40] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> but it got even worse!
[17:41] <MonkeyDust> EpsilonSigmaUltr  it's often easter, faster, more efficient to start anew, instead of repairing things
[17:41] <MonkeyDust> easier*
[17:41] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> start new?
[17:41] <blitz> how would I mount my windows partition if I have a dual boot with win7?
[17:41] <Praxi> reinstall hehe
[17:41] <mo_bledhoz> nautilus?
[17:42] <blitz> I think it's /dev/sda3
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> blitz  sudo fdisk -l to see where windows is installed (ntfs), then mount that partition
[17:42] <Dmole> blitz: install ntfs-3g
[17:42] <q0s> blitz, it should be shown in your file manager. simply click on it
[17:42] <Dmole> +1 file manager click
[17:42] <q0s> Dmole, that should be a default package
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> now please let me order pizza, y'all!! ;)
[17:42] <RealKillaz> trism, but it would show this in the list of package that would be removed
[17:43] <trism> RealKillaz: absolutely
[17:43] <blitz> what do you mean click it in my file manager
[17:43] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> afk
[17:43] <mo_bledhoz> yeahhh..

[17:49] <Dmole> MagentoPycho: also this "find . -newercc file"
[17:50] <Dmole> MagentoPycho: (use touch to set the file date to whenever like 1 hour ago)
[17:51] <ssta> MagentoPycho: it's something like: find /path -mtime +1
[17:51] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Is there any other way that I can set my Ubuntu Partition as bootable?
[17:51] <ssta> MagentoPycho: check the manpage for the exact syntax, it's somewhere close to that though
[17:51] <MonkeyDust> EpsilonSigmaUltr  try the Live CD or pendrive, use gparted
[17:51] <Dmole> kodez: so type "nautilus" in the dash and click on network
[17:52] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> and what do I do in gparted?
[17:52] <Dmole> kodez: of "go>location" also works
[17:53] <MonkeyDust> EpsilonSigmaUltr  just checked: there's 'manage flags', choose 'boot'

[17:53] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Thanks!
[17:53] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I will go try that now
[17:54] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> good bye
[17:54] <Dmole> anyone know how to fix this?: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange
[17:55] <sacarlson> balleyne: seems most wifi must hav adhoc compatibility but what is used to setup you ip address?  static?
[17:55] <sacarlson> balleyne: and what about route?  what sets that up if not with dhcpd
[17:57] <amicrawler> i need help on mounting a ipod touch to gpodder
[17:57] <balleyne> sacarlson: just realized I probably want the 'Use as hotspot...' feature in System Settings > Network, rather than an ad hoc network... with the ad-hoc network, I just create a new network with the default settings, so I assume it's DHCP or something? I haven't set any static IP settings
[17:57] <amicrawler> my desktop see the ipod touch
[17:58] <auronandace> !ipod | amicrawler
[17:58] <MonkeyDust> !ipod
[17:58] <MonkeyDust> auronandace  was faster :)
[17:58] <amicrawler> i did see the man for it
[17:58] <amicrawler> but in the pref in my gpodder
[17:59] <amicrawler> will not goto usb
[17:59] <amicrawler> just usb1
[18:00] <amicrawler> when i lsub  it is on dev3
[18:00] <sacarlson> balleyne: maybe if you look at the ip your adhoc has managed to setup for you with ; ifconfig  ; on both server and client sides you might have some clues
[18:00] <balleyne> sacarlson, ok, thanks
[18:01] <sacarlson> balleyne: and also the command ; sudo route ; to see what ends up as your default gateway
[18:04] <sacarlson> balleyne: otherwise might want to look at thing like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing ; but I'm not sure they have made it too simple yet
[18:07] <Whiskey> are it anyway to disable text input in terminal
[18:07] <jackyyll> hi guys, i'm trying to install git-core on ubuntu 8.4 (i know it's unsupported). i'm getting this error" The following packages have unmet dependencies: git-core: Depends: libdigest-sha1-perl but it is not going to
[18:07] <jackyyll> be installed
[18:07] <jackyyll> E: Broken packages
[18:07] <jackyyll> "
[18:07] <jackyyll> sorry for the paste
[18:07] <FloodBot1> jackyyll: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:07] <jackyyll> thoguht it would be one line.
[18:08] <`Korvin> jackyyll, do sudo apt-get update
[18:08] <`Korvin> and you can just do apt-get install git
[18:08] <mneptok> jackyyll: why the git-core package and not just "git?"
[18:08] <jackyyll> it is still saying the same error
[18:08] <jackyyll> don't you need git-core for git?
[18:09] <bardh> hi
[18:09] <qw-Russian> help me Wi-Fi please
[18:09] <sacarlson> jackyyll: if you don't have your own custom repository you kept for ubuntu 8.04, then it might be a task to find one
[18:09] <jackyyll> ok this is weird
[18:10] <jackyyll> i'm not sure if i'm on hardy or intrepid
[18:10] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> ok, so that didn't work
[18:10] <jackyyll> i have hardy sources in my sources.list but i also have intrepid ones (commented out)
[18:10] <jackyyll> i wish i could just upgrade this server, blah
[18:10] <regexp> when is the new version of ubuntu coming out, april right?
[18:10] <jackyyll> how can i tell for sure what version of ubuntu i have installed?
[18:11] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I need a second-to-last resort
[18:11] <regexp> :\
[18:11] <ubuntunobody> hi, what ubuntu backup tool do you recommend for a windows7/8 ntfs partition? partimage seems to have "experimental" support
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> EpsilonSigmaUltr  lsb_release -sd
[18:11] <sacarlson> jackyyll: how big a task would it be to upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 ?
[18:11] <mneptok> jackyyll: lsb_release -a
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> jackyyll   lsb_release -sd
[18:11] <jackyyll> ok so it's 8.10
[18:11] <jackyyll> dont know why i have hardy sources..
[18:12] <jackyyll> sacarlson: well, it's a server at work
[18:12] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> umm yeah, I know my OS
[18:12] <jackyyll> and it's poorly configured
[18:12] <jackyyll> so
[18:12] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Xubuntu 11.10
[18:12] <mneptok> jackyyll: support for that release stopped a year ago.
[18:13] <mneptok> jackyyll: there are no repos to install from. they're gone. that's the issue with the package install.
[18:13] <sacarlson> jackyyll: so what appache2 or other does it run that would might be difficult to upgrade?  it takes me up to 7 or more days myself so I don't rush to upgrade eather
[18:14] <itaylor57> !eol  | jackyyll
[18:14] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> @MonkeyDust  Why do I need the release data?
[18:15] <jackyyll> wait so,
[18:15] <jackyyll> the repositories no longer exist?
[18:15] <mneptok> jackyyll: correct.
[18:15] <itaylor57> jackyyll, read the link given it will teill you where the repos went to
[18:15] <jackyyll> welp
[18:15] <jackyyll> that is a problem
[18:16] <mneptok> jackyyll: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[18:16] <sacarlson> jackyyll: the other thing is the longer you wait the more difficult it becomes to upgrade so for future ref. might want to upgrade 3 months before eol
[18:16] <jackyyll> well
[18:16] <jackyyll> i'd rather not upgrade
[18:16] <jackyyll> and do a fresh install anyway
[18:16] <bluefrog> jackyyll, you prepare a brand new server, import data, test it and if it works you make a change
[18:16] <jackyyll> they installed a desktop version as a server :S
[18:16] <mneptok> jackyyll: can you keep such things to 1 inputline please?
[18:17] <jackyyll> sorry about that
[18:17] <jackyyll> itaylor57: does that mean the repos still exist somewhere?
[18:17] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Is there any way I can set a partition as bootable?
[18:17] <sacarlson> jackyyll: well for me reinstall I did in an event just like yours caused problems with php changes that were no longer supported in the software I had custom writen
[18:17] <schwaam> do I have a /boot, /, /var, and /home partition with the default ubuntu setup?
[18:18] <schwaam> (4 partitions)
[18:18] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> afk
[18:18] <bluefrog> EpsilonSigmaUltr, via parted, cfdisk or whatever partition utility you like
[18:18] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I will try again
[18:19] <mneptok> sacarlson: if you say "register_globals" i'll kill you. :P
[18:19] <schwaam> dr_willis, around?
[18:19] <bluefrog> schwaam, no
[18:19] <schwaam> bluefrog, no he's not around?
[18:19] <schwaam> or no I don't have 4 partitions :)
[18:19] <bluefrog> schwaam, no you don't have separate partitions
[18:19] <schwaam> ah, ok
[18:19] <schwaam> so is it all on one partition?
[18:19] <sacarlson> mneptok: ok I won't and I forget anyway but it took 3 or more days just for that
[18:20] <Praxi> if I'm using unity, is there any reason to use docky?
[18:20] <bluefrog> schwaam, choose lvm and then you do what you want or choose the alternate method
[18:21] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> bluefrog: is it that I set a Flag of the Partition as boot?\
[18:24] <here4thegear> hi... What file must I edit to point somedomain.com to <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:25] <itaylor57> jackyyll, yes see the post mneptok made above or read the link
[18:25] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Should I set the entire linux(sda3) as bootable?
[18:26] <soaringsky> here4thegear: /etc/hosts
[18:26] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Should I set the entire linux partition(s) as bootable?
[18:26] <here4thegear> soaringsky: thanks!
[18:27] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> On my own...
[18:27] <Armando> Hi there,
[18:28] <Armando> I was wondering if someone could helpme to compile gcompris in ubuntu. I made some modifications and now, when I try to do it, I get "dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source"
[18:28] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> ok, I will try booting all of linux, brb'
[18:28] <Armando> But, I think I do have representable changes to source :P
[18:29] <jrib> Armando: you should be more detailed as to what changes you made and how
[18:30] <Armando> I have a new activity for Gcompris. I used python and I was trying to rebuild sources in order to have my activity inside it.
[18:30] <jrib> Armando: not specific enough
[18:30] <Armando> Lets see what else can I tell you to be as clear as possible.
[18:30] <jrib> Armando: i.e. make it so that I can recreate what you did
[18:30] <Armando> Maybe you could help me to provide specific informations needed.
[18:31] <Armando> I used dpkg-buildpackage.
[18:31] <Armando> If I try a make && make install, that goes OK
[18:31] <Armando> But I would like to get a .deb package. That is the point when I get the errror.
[18:32] <sacarlson1> Armando: I normaly submit my code to github.com if I play with branches of  code then others can see and partisipate in helping
[18:33] <Armando> sacarlson1: thanks so much. I will do that too so help will be easier to get.
[18:35] <Armando> jrib: any other suggestion? :)
[18:35] <jrib> Armando: make a diff
[18:35] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> Strange...
[18:35] <Whiskey> anyway to keep user input from messing up a screen temporarily?
[18:36] <sacarlson1> Armando: jrib: git does the diff part for you auto,  that's the cool thing about github.com
[18:36] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> it gives me "FAILED TO BOOT FROM DISK, PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK"
[18:37] <mobb> hi
[18:37] <sacarlson1> EpsilonSigmaUltr: already installed or with cd boot?
[18:38] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> I have a fully installed Ubuntu, but when I tried to reinstall windows to repair, it un-bootabled Ubuntu
[18:38] <k_5673> Hello, dawgs! I'm building a multiseat setup over 10.04 LTS, using GDM over XDMCP + Xephyr. I've already wrote scripts to start the Xephyr servers and connect them to the local GDM in port 177. The question is: how can i start the Xephyrs instead the X and GDM?
[18:39] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> and I am currently running the CD boot
[18:39] <Seea> så :P
[18:39] <Seea> then?
[18:39] <engammalsko> Seea: that's all
[18:39] <engammalsko> Seea: This is the support channel for Ubuntu.
[18:39] <Seea> aha, nice ;)
[18:40] <sacarlson1> EpsilonSigmaUltr: that's why I presently only run windows XX in virtualbox to keep it contained and not damaging

[18:44] <regexp> exit

[18:45] <`korvin> can anyone help me out?
[18:45] <Mr_Poseydon> Hi
[18:45] <EpsilonSigmaUltr> ok bye everyone
[18:46] <eurekaa> how, apache chief!
[18:46] <__Alex_> Hey, peoplez. I use a custom setup of Ubuntu, using the mini.iso, with Openbox, some random panel app, feh for BGs, Etc. It works great, but i have a Problem. I use WICD as my Wifi manager thing, and it seems rather unstable. It keeps disconntcting, and when it's connecting to a Wifi, it temporary freezes the whole thing for a couple of seconds (20-80). Anyone has any idea on how to fix this without downloading half of Gnome for the Gnome Network Manager?
[18:47] <o0ps> `korvin: where did u isntalled linux? what partition?
[18:47] <Iceheart> Hows everyone doing today?
[18:48] <Iceheart> So I got a problem...I restarted my computer and now I can't open any folders and my desktop is blank...
[18:49] <KM0201> hmm, yeah thats a pretty big problem
[18:49] <KM0201> sounds like X isn't starting properly
[18:49] <Nach0z> X = borked :D
[18:49] <`korvin> o0ps: it's on sda6 or something like that
[18:49] <Iceheart> Well everything else seems to work fine, just that. lol
[18:49] <theadmin> Iceheart: Did you delete nautilus?
[18:49] <Iceheart> No, I didn't delete anything.
[18:49] <Iceheart> Just restarted.
[18:50] <o0ps> `korvin: try sudo grub-install /dev/where_is_your_linux_install not sda
[18:50] <KM0201> Iceheart: install any graphics drivers, etc?  something precipitated this.
[18:50] <auska> Hi! When I try to restart apache2 I get this error: ' _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence' what does it mean? What should I do?
[18:50] <Iceheart> No, I was just surfing the net before the restart. I just decided to do a restart since I haven't for some time.
[18:50] <itaylor57> KM0201, o/
[18:50] <wolfmitchell|web> aus- #apache
[18:50] <KM0201> itaylor57: o/
[18:50] <Iceheart> I didn't update or anything either.
[18:50] <theadmin> Iceheart: So, do you get the desktop background? Panel(s)?
[18:51] <Iceheart> I have the desktop background and everything appears normal except for the lack of icons and inability to open folders.
[18:51] <theadmin> Iceheart: O...kay, sounds like nautilus fails to start for some reason. Try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install nautilus" to see if it solves the problem first
[18:51] <k_5673> Hello, dawgs! I'm building a multiseat setup over 10.04 LTS, using GDM over XDMCP + Xephyr. I've already wrote scripts to start the Xephyr servers and connect them to the local GDM in port 177. The question is: how can i start the Xephyrs instead the X and GDM?
[18:51] <__Alex_> Iceheart: Try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure nautilus
[18:52] <Benkinooby> anyone can recommend a internet cafe suite ofr ubuntu? i googled a bit but most stuff i found was outdated...
[18:52] <Iceheart> Said unable to locate package nautilus
[18:52] <__Alex_> Iceheart: Ok, wefound the problem. Simple fix: sudo aptitude install nautilus
[18:52] <Iceheart> my bad mispelled nautilus lol
[18:53] <Iceheart> currently reinstalling.
[18:53] <Iceheart> Nice that I can do that while leaving this open ^^
[18:54] <Iceheart> It appears to be stuck at reading database. It's at 90% and just sitting there.
[18:54] <Iceheart> and now I got an error

[18:57] <Iceheart> Got that trying to reinstall nautilus^
[18:57] <__Alex_> Does anyone have the same problem as i do with WICD? (Temporary freezing my whole computer for around 50 seconds)?
[18:57] <Iceheart> any ideas guys?
[18:57] <`korvin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/880784/ << fdisk -l
[18:57] <itaylor57> Iceheart, you seem to have synaptic or some other process installing something
[18:58] <soaringsky> Iceheart: is it possible that your disk is corrupted?
[18:58] <Iceheart> I guess it could be corrupted, what would cause that?
[18:58] <`korvin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/880787/ < can't install grub
[18:58] <`korvin> computer boots into windows fine, no grub
[18:59] <soaringsky> Iceheart: it's not always known
[18:59] <Iceheart> Well is there a way to perhaps restore linux a couple days?
[18:59] <__Alex_> `korvin: You're trying to install GRUB from a Live CD with a chroot?
[18:59] <soaringsky> Iceheart: but I see similar issues all the time
[18:59] <soaringsky> Iceheart: easiest way is to reinstall
[18:59] <`korvin> my steps are boot into live disk, open terminal, sudo grub-install sda
[18:59] <`korvin> __Alex_:
[19:00] <`korvin> am I missing a step?
[19:00] <Iceheart> Well is there a way I can access my files still, I'd be losing quite a bit of data.
[19:00] <soaringsky> Iceheart: find somewhere to copy your data, like ubuntu one
[19:01] <bekor> hey friends anyone know how to get my desktop cube to not be flat?
[19:01] <k_5673> Iceheart: Use the SuperGrub Disk http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[19:01] <Iceheart> I have ubuntu one, I mean is there a way to access my files when I cannot open my home folder?
[19:01] <__Alex_> `korvin: I see the problem, you need to mount your root disk somewhere: "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt", and then type this: "sudo grub-install root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda"
[19:01] <`korvin> __Alex_: mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[19:02] <soaringsky> Iceheart: if the problem is that far along, its going to be difficult. try using a livecd?
[19:02] <k_5673> Iceheart: With SuperGrub Disk you'll be able to boot your Ubuntu ext3/ext4 partition, get your files, and/or run grub-install
[19:02] <__Alex_> `korvin: Ok, try this: "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda5 /mnt"

[19:03] <k_5673> Iceheart: I've repaired many dualboot setups with that
[19:03] <__Alex_> o0ps: You can't boot directly from a partition
[19:03] <`Korvin_> __Alex_: lost connection
[19:04] <o0ps> emm

[19:04] <jefimenko> does anyone know what's the recommended way to keep kvm guest clocks in sync?
[19:04] <k_5673> Iceheart: I suppose the ubuntu installer disk have grub-install
[19:04] <birdman007> what's the best driver to use for a ati graphics card
[19:05] <__Alex_> birdman007: FGLRX
[19:05] <`Korvin_> __Alex_: mount -f ext4 is failing aswell
[19:05] <jefimenko> i see conflicting information around the web about this. the ubuntu community docs advise against using ntp to sync the clock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/FAQ#Should_ntp_be_used_for_time_synchronisation.3F
[19:05] <__Alex_> birdman007: It's in the repos, but you need to enable it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:05] <o0ps> `Korvin_: the linux was installed before windows?
[19:06] <`Korvin_> yea o0ps
[19:06] <`Korvin_> no
[19:06] <`Korvin_> no o0ps  =p
[19:06] <__Alex_> `Korvin_: What does it say? Put it into a paste bin
[19:06] <`Korvin_> the windows was installed before, but my grub got messed up by booting into a esata drive
[19:06] <jefimenko> but other distributions (redhat) recommend using it
[19:06] <newname> #xubuntu
[19:06] <`Korvin_> __Alex_: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5,

[19:08] <pfifo> wubino, try running a terminal emulator and specify the program to run in the terminals options
[19:08] <soaringsky> genjin: add-apt-repository

[19:09] <parapan> iceroot: :d see that yes. that's why asking in the forum with clever peoples than I am
[19:09] <iceroot> parapan: its not possible
[19:10] <madoo> can eny one hellp me
[19:10] <iceroot> parapan: that is what read-only means
[19:10] <pfifo> wubino, a terminal is what you get when you are not using X, press ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to a terminal
[19:10] <iceroot> parapan: if you can write on read-only, it would not be read-only
[19:10] <`Korvin_> __Alex_: same output

[19:12] <iceroot> parapan: you dont have to create a username with the same name, you have to create a user with the same UID the files are belonging
[19:12] <`Korvin_> __Alex_: doesn't exist
[19:12] <iceroot> parapan: unix/linux are not working with usernames, they are working with uid (user id)
[19:12] <`Korvin_> says sda is mounted
[19:12] <madoo> I have hp pc insed i have speaker and out i have sub over but my sub didnt workin
[19:12] <savid> Hi, for some reason now when I ssh to a remote host it now asks me for my private key passphrase on the cmdline.  Before it used to pop up a window, where I only had to enter it once.  How do I bring that back?
[19:12] <parapan> iceroot: uid is 1001
[19:13] <__Alex_> `Korvin: type: "sudo mount", and return the output in a pastebin
[19:13] <iceroot> parapan: then you need logged in with a user which also have 1001
[19:13] <madoo_> can you hellp me please
[19:13] <`Korvin_> __Alex_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/880805/ for the record
[19:13] <iceroot> parapan: you are not able to read the file with the current user or what is the issue?
[19:13] <parapan> iceroot: checking right now ...but if I do not have this user I have to create-it correct ???
[19:13] <iceroot> parapan: correct
[19:13] <`Korvin_> __Alex_:  per your request http://paste.ubuntu.com/880806/
[19:14] <parapan> iceroot: so it's almost like  I said before ....:d
[19:15] <__Alex_> `Korvin_: Wery weird. Seems that your Linux partition is corrupted or something...
[19:15] <`Korvin_> __Alex_: that doesn't make sense =/
[19:15] <`Korvin_> I was booted into a few minutes ago
[19:16] <__Alex_> `Korvin_: I know it doesn't, but why then can't we mount your linux partition...
[19:16] <`Korvin_> but gparted agrees
[19:16] <pfifo> `Korvin_, what is the output of `sudo fdisk -l`
[19:16] <`Korvin_> I gave that a bit ago
[19:16] <madoo_> hello
[19:16] <`Korvin_> the client cant scroll up
[19:16] <__Alex_> pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/880784/
[19:16] <madoo_> i need hellp
[19:16] <`Korvin_> ty __Alex_
[19:17] <pfifo> `Korvin_, `sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt` NOTE: there is a 5(five) after sda
[19:17] <__Alex_> pfifo: We tried that
[19:17] <__Alex_> already
[19:18] <pfifo> __Alex_, according to the pastebin there was a typo
[19:18] <roasted> Question - I'm using Ubuntu and FOG to image other Ubuntu systems. We're using newer systems containing the AMD APU E series chipset. We're getting the error - failed to execute \sbin\v86d. Anybody have any idea what this could be?
[19:18] <`Korvin_> pfifo: __Alex_
[19:18] <`Korvin_> http://postimage.org/image/jrngrnp51/
[19:18] <`Korvin_> pfifo: you saw a later image
[19:19] <`Korvin_> we tried mounting sda5 first
[19:19] <bekor> anyone have trouble with flat desktop cube in ubuntu 11.10 and know how to make it 3d?
[19:19] <`Korvin_> however sda5 looks like a sub partition under sda1?
[19:19] <pfifo> `Korvin_, can you paste `sudo blkid`
[19:19] <__Alex_> `Korvin: I'm very sorry to announce but your linux bartition is eighter empty or corrupted.
[19:20] <`Korvin_> pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/880814/
[19:20] <`Korvin_> no biggy __Alex_, just a pain
[19:20] <`Korvin_> I installed it last night
[19:20] <eurekaa> bartition<<lol
[19:21] <pfifo> `Korvin_, what happens when you `fsck /dev/sda5`
[19:21] <ilyam> hi. How do I check programmatically if a package has already been installed (with apt-get)?
[19:21] <`Korvin_> asks to fix the checksum
[19:21] <`Korvin_> should i?
[19:21] <ilyam> I don't care if it's the latest version or not, and want the check to be local and fast (don't contact ubuntu servers)
[19:22] <`Korvin_> fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
[19:22] <pfifo> `Korvin_, no, since your sda1 is your extended partition something tried to write to /dev/sda1 and broke the filesystem on sda5. you need to fix the order of your partitions to be in the same order as their layout on the disk
[19:23] <`Korvin_> I see
[19:23] <`Korvin_> will that make sda5 recoverable?
[19:23] <`Korvin_> or should I just nuke it
[19:23] <pfifo> `Korvin_, no, if i were you Id blank the whole disk and start over, commiting any non-backed up file loss to experience
[19:24] <`Korvin_> alright
[19:24] <`Korvin_> I can't quite whipe the whole thing, as my oem didn't give me a restore disk, they put it on a partition
[19:25] <diverdude> Is there a PPA with gphotolib 2.4.13? (repo has 2.4.11)
[19:25] <eurekaa> `Korvin_: What the hell ya trying?
[19:25] <`Korvin_> pfifo: will deleting sda1 be enough?
[19:25] <pfifo> `Korvin_, if you have a legal copy of windows, then you can just grab a windows CD somewhere on the net
[19:25] <chozen21> anybody know any channels for aircrack
[19:26] <pfifo> `Korvin_, when you change your partition order its likely to break the system restore anyway
[19:26] <MrCraig> having real problems configuring my keyboard - for some reason ctrl+key combinations don't work. In terminal if I hold ctrl+c I see first a 'c' and then in the repeats '^C' - that and ctrl+alt+Fx works so I know the ctrl key is responding. Any pointers please?
[19:26] <`Korvin_> herp
[19:26] <`Korvin_> Alright
[19:26] <`Korvin_> I see pfifo, I'll make that happen
[19:26] <_Marcus> Hello. How do I use cat to write to a drive?
[19:26] <_Marcus> I want to write /dev/urandom to it
[19:27] <__Alex_> pfifo: I don't know much about Windows since i havent used it in like 10 years, but one thing i know. If you have a laptop, it's a pain in the @$$ to get all the drivers
[19:27] <`Korvin_> they gave me a driver disk
[19:27] <`Korvin_> just not an oem windows disk
[19:27] <codatory> _Marcus: Any reason not to use DD ?
[19:27] <pfifo> __Alex_, any OS that doesnt have a software center is a pain in the @$$ to install anything
[19:27] <_Marcus> codeatory: I can do that with dd?
[19:28] <__Alex_> pfifo: Or a ports collection. True.
[19:28] <chozen21> does anybody know where i can help with aircrack
[19:28] <parapan> iceroot: ufsUSER is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported. ....
[19:28] <codatory> _Marcus: yep; that's what it's for...  dd -if=/dev/urandom -of=/dev/hdx
[19:29] <pfifo> `Korvin_, once you have a partiton table thats laid out nicely with every thing ordered and sorted, your quality of life will go up
[19:29] <_Marcus> codatory: It says: dd: opening `/media/4CA6-7063': Is a directory
[19:29] <parapan> iceroot: what I do not understand is why I cannot copy the files ......it's only a read-only ...I should be able to reas the files
[19:29] <__Alex_> _Marcus: shred -fvn1 /dev/hdX will do the same thing
[19:30] <_Marcus> __Alex_: I may want to write something else besides /dev/urandom later on though.
[19:30] <eurekaa> curious stage. :)
[19:30] <wubino> Any rules of thumb for buying a laptop to run Ubuntu on?
[19:30] <eurekaa> rofl!
[19:30] <diverdude> how do i add this ppa? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgphoto2
[19:30] <codatory> _Marcus: That's the mountpoint, not the device, if you just want to write a big file to the mountpoint you can cat /dev/urandom > somefile and it'll just go until you stop it or it runs out of disk
[19:30] <us12> hello/ help me please to solve "No such interface supported" message
[19:31] <_Marcus> codatory: Oh, okay.
[19:31] <Karmaon> Why does nautilus have no icons?
[19:31] <codatory> 'mount' will show you the /dev for the mountpoint if you don't know it
[19:31] <Karmaon> Everything's a blank sheet of paper! :P
[19:32] <hugo> hi all
[19:32] <_Marcus> cadatory: In disk utility, it says /dev/sdb1 is the drive. Should I just replace the media one I had before with /dev/sdb1?
[19:32] <Karmaon> And unity is laggy as always
[19:33] <codatory> _Marcus: Yeah; just make sure that's what you want. That's a destructive operation.
[19:33] <itaylor57> Karmaon, unity is quite snappy on my machine
[19:33] <_Marcus> codatory: So I should just use cat?
[19:33] <codatory> Unity runs great for me as well...
[19:33] <`Korvin> I'm in windows now __Alex_ && pfifo
[19:33] <us12> Karmaon: may be sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool help you
[19:33] <codatory> _Marcus: Depends on what you're trying to accomplish
[19:33] <Karmaon> itaylor57: draggin windows brings out horrors
[19:33] <`Korvin> thanks for the help, I'll completely nuke it tonight
[19:33] <_Marcus> codatory: I am just writing to the disk a bunch of times.
[19:34] <_Marcus> codatory: To clear all data, and make it non-recoverable.
[19:34] <itaylor57> wubino, system76 computers come with ubuntu
[19:34] <codatory> _Marcus: Then dd/shred is what you want. But you'll have to repartition afterwards.
[19:34] <diverdude> hello
[19:34] <diverdude> please answer me
[19:34] <wubino> Thanks but I am more interested in general rules of thumb for any commodity laptop.
[19:34] <_Marcus> codatory: Okay. So what shuold I do for dd?
[19:35] <diverdude> how do i add this ppa? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgphoto2
[19:35] <_Marcus> should*
[19:35] <__Alex_> _Marcus: And also you'll have to make a new MBR
[19:35] <_Marcus> __Alex_: What do you mean?
[19:35] <codatory> _Marcus: dd -if=/dev/urandom -of=/dev/sdb
[19:36] <wubino> itaylor57, I am very curious if the new integrated graphics units (intel) get in the way of installations of ubuntu
[19:36] <_Marcus> codatory: Disk Utility said my drive was /dev/sdb1, should I do that instead?
[19:36] <wubino> I was reading that some HP pavilion laptops do not accept ubuntu installations.
[19:36] <Azores> where i can find a good tutorial for aircrack
[19:36] <codatory> _Marcus: That's the partition, the drive is the partition less the partition #
[19:36] <us12> diverdude: thisis not ppa
[19:37] <_Marcus> codatory: But Disk Utility said "Device: /dev/sda1"
[19:38] <__Alex_> _Marcus: /dev/sda1 is the Partition. /dev/sda is the disk bthe partition is located on.
[19:38] <diverdude> us12: what is it then
[19:38] <Azores> _Marcus can you help me ?
[19:38] <_Marcus> Azores: With what
[19:38] <Azores> aircrack tutorials
[19:38] <_Marcus> __Alex_: I want to write to the parition. It's 16GB and I want to fill that up with /dev/urandom
[19:39] <_Marcus> Azores: Try the aircrack room
[19:39] <Azores> thanks dude

[19:41] <wolfmitchell> For some reason I was muted.
[19:41] <_Marcus> __Alex_: /dev/sdc1

[20:09] <sschultz> pfifo: would I do that in the /etc/passwd file?
[20:09] <Sach> Curiousx: of firefox?

[20:12] <sschultz> prifo: Just did that and it didn't work. It looks like it logs in and then immediately logs the user out
[20:13] <pfifo> sschultz, did you remember to restart the ftpd
[20:13] <curiousx> this is the news in spanish =P: http://bitelia.com/2012/03/firefox-11-estara-disponible-en-las-proximas-horas
[20:13] <sschultz> pfifo: no - if i'm just doing this through SFTP would I only restart sshd then?
[20:13] <Sach> curiousx: no, I don't have that.  I don't understand my issue because I could access Facebook this morning..
[20:13] <pfifo> sschultz, not sshd, restart the ftpd
[20:14] <sschultz> pfifo: i'm embarassed to ask but how do I do that?
[20:14] <trijntje> how can I see the long description of a package on the command line?
[20:14] <sschultz> sudo /etc/init.d/ftpd restart?
[20:15] <pfifo> sschultz, your guide says '3 - Test the setup (you will probably need to HUP your SSH daemon first, or start it up if it isn't already)' I take it you didnt follow that part of the instructions? That could be the problem
[20:16] <sschultz> pfifo: isn't that what sshd is?
[20:16] <pfifo> sschultz, err, thats not right
[20:16] <sschultz> pfifo: when I "/etc/init.d/ssh reload"
[20:16] <curiousx> this is in you house or your office work?
[20:17] <itaylor57> curiousx, i am running 11 now
[20:18] <curiousx> itaylor57: me too, but is beta
[20:18] <pfifo> sschultz, I thought it gave instructions for restarting the ftpd. anyway, depending if your dameon is a real daemon or an inetd daemon, youll have to restart the ftpd, or xinted
[20:18] <mneptok> trijntje: apt-cache show <packagename>
[20:19] <sschultz> pfifo: Ok. I never installed an ftp server/daemon though - just doing this through sftp so it's through ssh (or at least that's what I understand)
[20:19] <curiousx> Sach: if you are in your house try this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:19] <mneptok> sschultz: unless you need anonymous access, stick with SFTP instead of FTP.
