[00:06] <JelloPop> loll
[00:06] <elijah> pfifo: How did you remove the line endings with Geany? I try to backspace/delete them and they come back with a fresh CR
[00:07] <hoshi411_> the appearance manager does not give me options for changing system colors
[00:07] <elijah> pfifo: Is it a preference setting?
[00:07] <pfifo> elijah, Document->set line endings
[00:07] <jerry2> elijah did you see my response?
[00:07] <JelloPop> arand: running two different irssi sessions one is linux mint other is ubuntu opsss lmao
[00:07] <elijah> pfifo: Beautiful, thx
[00:07] <hoshi411_> i went into the theme that im using and found the rc file for it but there is no place for colors 0_o
[00:08] <nishttal2> hello everyone.. i just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 and whenever I try to install something with the Software center i get Package operation failed... http://pastebin.com/ushXXkRB
[00:08] <hoshi411_> this is the one thing that i like about lxde over xfce... the ability to change system colors
[00:08] <nishttal2> anyone have any clue
[00:08] <hoshi411_> i installed lxappearance but that does not work
[00:09] <elijah> jerry2: sorry, got lost in the spam fest, I don't know if I can help you
[00:09] <pfifo> nishttal2, No space left on device you hard disk is full
[00:09] <arand> nishttal2: what is the output of "df -h"
[00:09] <elijah> jerry2: I only have experience setting DNS to point to IPs
[00:09] <elijah> jerry2: You may also try #networking if you can't get help here
[00:10] <elijah> jerry2: Did you run an ifconfig on the server?
[00:10] <jerry2> elijah: alright thanks
[00:10] <nishttal2> pfifo,, hi.. we were talking earlier today and you and others advised me to setup a non-RAID partition for /boot
[00:10] <nishttal2> pfifo, well i assigned 64MB to it.. why is the software center trying to install there
[00:10] <pfifo> jerry2, all you want todo is add more static IPs to a server?
[00:11] <pfifo> nishttal2, its trying to build your initrd, and its building it on /boot
[00:11] <nishttal2> arand, http://pastebin.com/RPVFKNmB
[00:11] <nishttal2> pfifo, should it?
[00:11] <nishttal2> pfifo, if thats the case then /boot should be a lot bigger rt?
[00:11] <arand> nishttal2: That is where linux kernel images go, genereally you'd want 200MB or more
[00:11] <pfifo> nishttal2, it seems reasonable, you might be able to change that behavior
[00:12] <nishttal2> arand, hmm.. would i grow everytime i install something?
[00:12] <jerry2> elijah: looks like i need to add more eth0 , there are currently 3 , eth0 , eth0:0 , eth0:1
[00:12] <nishttal2> arand, would it*
[00:12] <arand> nishttal2: Only when you install a new kernel
[00:13] <whatasunnyday> Hi, I have question that is probably asked way too much. I'm installing Ubuntu on my external SSD. I'm just setting it up now so I can pop it in later when I have more free time. I noticed that a lot of people suggest using logical partitions for Linux. From what I read, I think I want a 20 gb OS installation and a 10 GB home folder. My SSD is 240 gigs so I guess I would use the rest for windows + storage. How exactly do I parti
[00:13] <nishttal2> arand, but I was trying to install XChat.. not a new kernel
[00:13] <arand> nishttal2: You can make sure to remove old kernels, but just 60GB is still a bit small.
[00:13] <whatasunnyday> Do I make a 30 gb extended and two logical?
[00:13] <elijah> Can grep also search filenames, like the find command?
[00:13] <arand> nishttal2: It was likely a semi-automatic update
[00:13] <elijah> jerry2: Yeah, that is an interesting scenario, I am sure it is simple once you know what to do
[00:14] <elijah> jerry2: Are your existing IPs assigned to the eth0/1/2 ?
[00:14] <whatasunnyday> Or do I make two seperate ext4 and set the mount points seperately?
[00:14] <xxx-657922> erver srv.irc.gr
[00:14] <nishttal2> arand, i see so 200MB then?
[00:14] <arand> elijah: Not unless you pipe the output from ls or so, so not really.
[00:14] <pfifo> nishttal2, I suppose you need to iuncrease the size of /boot i couldnt find a configuration option for that, why dont you just make boot 4+GB you have plenty of space
[00:15] <jerry2> elijah: think this does it http://unclean.org/howto/secondip.html
[00:15] <nishttal2> pfifo, arand.. yeah i have plenty of disc space.. but I only want to allocate what would be needed... so 4GB?
[00:15] <arand> nishttal2: pfifo Normally /boot uses about 50MB, I'm guessing that during an upgrade more is required.
[00:16] <elijah> arand: thanks, I just tried ls | and see what you mean
[00:16] <pfifo> nishttal2, 4GB gives plenty of room to prevent future problems regarding diskspace
[00:16] <nishttal2> pfifo, ok thats what i wanted to hear .. ;-).. thanks guys.. see you in an hour
[00:16]  * arand would go with 500MB
[00:16] <elijah> nishttal2: definitely allocate 4x what you think you will need, apt-get stores a lot of stuff by default, stuff grows
[00:16] <diverdude> is there a good place to learn how to build .deb packs?
[00:17] <arand> elijah: not on boot it doesn't....
[00:17] <aicasn> i just updated some packages on my 64-bit 11.10 machine and the UI took a crap after the updates so I rebooted. now I can't get anything but graphical corruption and a frozen machine whenever i boot into ubuntu. anyone else have this problem?
[00:17] <arand> erm.. /boot
[00:17] <elijah> arand: sorry, i thought you were talking about the whole system
[00:17] <whatasunnyday> Maybe I should rephrase my question to be a little less wordy and disorganized.
[00:18] <elijah> jerry2: hopefully
[00:18] <jbrks> This is my processor- http://ark.intel.com/products/spec/SR05S  -- But i do not know what cpuscaling module i should load with it.  Anyone has a link that can tell me?
[00:19] <whatasunnyday> If I want to make my ubuntu partition say, 20 gigs, say 20 for my OS install and 20 for my home folder, how should I seperate the partitions? Should it be 1 40 gb primary with two logical? Or two seperate 20s? What do I set as the mount points?
[00:19] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, 2 20's one on / and the other on /home
[00:19] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, make it easy.. just use 1 "/" and 1 for "swap"
[00:20] <nishttal2> oh one more thing guys.. should i try 12 or stick to 11.10
[00:20] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, minimum u need is 2
[00:20] <nishttal2> i mean there would be bugs.. but is it stable ?
[00:20] <whatasunnyday> should they both be logical?
[00:20] <whatasunnyday> and they both be ext 4?
[00:20] <whatasunnyday> i'm not sure what this begining/end business means
[00:20] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, how many other partitionsare there?
[00:20] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, linux doesnt care if its pri or logical--
[00:20] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, logical/primary makes no difference in ubuntu
[00:20] <whatasunnyday> right now, zero, i would like 40 gigs to ubuntu paritioned into 3, home, os, swap
[00:20] <whatasunnyday> i see
[00:21] <mastj> how do i reset x11 for gnome so It can properly boot right into gdm or w/e?
[00:21] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, a waste of disk space.. simply use "/"
[00:21] <whatasunnyday> make 1 big 40 gb partition jbrks?
[00:22] <jbrks> mastj, by default the latest gdm insn't the login manager installed
[00:22] <nishttal2> how come i cant download version 12 anyone?
[00:22] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, i disagree / and /home on seperate partitions help keep your data safe
[00:22] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, make the swap twice the size of your ram
[00:22] <pfifo> !12.04 | nishttal2
[00:22] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, doesnt make it any safer..
[00:22] <mastj> jbrks, i'm on 10.04... i'm in console mode... tryign to get back to graphics end
[00:23] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, as a beginner make it simple.. just use 2 partitions.. makes it easier to work with
[00:23] <whatasunnyday> i was under the impression that it makes it easier to update
[00:23] <whatasunnyday> jbrks i am actually trying to move up from the beginnner point. i have been using linux for just under a year. using mint exclusivel.
[00:23] <wesley__> How do I play windows wmv movies in ubuntu please?
[00:23] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, there also isnt much speed gain-- its only for server there is speed gain.. (log seperation etc)
[00:23] <whatasunnyday> hmm
[00:23] <whatasunnyday> that makes sense
[00:23] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, if you make 1 big partition you will lose all your personal data when you reinstall, if its on a seprate /home partition you can save it all
[00:24] <exu_> hi, i'm trying to diagnose a hardware issue, using the xubuntu live cd. i have 2 hdd's on a pcie scsi adapter, and although the adapter is showing up in lspci's output, the drives connected to it are not showing up under /dev/sd* or in gparted. any ideas?
[00:24] <jbrks> pfifo, he can install without a wipeout
[00:24] <jbrks> (ubuntu can upgrade)
[00:24] <whatasunnyday> jbrks that's my only concern, upgrades
[00:24] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, i upgrade a 10.x to 11.x -- didnt have issues really
[00:25] <whatasunnyday> i'm using 12.04 beta now
[00:25] <pfifo> in the end its upto you, as you can see, what works for me doesnt work for jbrks and might not work for you either
[00:25] <whatasunnyday> pfifo: for the sake of academics, if i was going to set two partitions, do I set one mount point as '/' and the other as /home
[00:25] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, exactly
[00:25] <whatasunnyday> and is there anything i need to do to "merge" them?
[00:25] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, no
[00:26] <whatasunnyday> okay, if i make two logical ext4, would that be fine?
[00:26] <whatasunnyday> (there are no other partitions on the disc)
[00:26] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, you're wasting time.. because a linux standard desktop usually isnt more than 7 gigs.. and you're throwing it on a 40 gig partition
[00:26] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, i would go primary if you only plan on having 2 partitions
[00:27] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, that is true, i would have a 8g and a 32g for /home
[00:27] <whatasunnyday> hmm
[00:27] <whatasunnyday> okay
[00:27] <whatasunnyday> would 10, 20 be a better breakdown?
[00:28] <whatasunnyday> for '/' and home respectively
[00:28] <whatasunnyday> also, pfifo, i am planning to install windows later.
[00:28] <atome> hi there
[00:28] <atome>  I would like to assign keyboard keys on a joystick... ?
[00:28] <whatasunnyday> as well as 1 more distro
[00:28] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, 10g for root should be sufficient
[00:28] <atome> how can I do ?
[00:28] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, on that same drive?
[00:28] <whatasunnyday> yes
[00:29] <jbrks> This is my processor- http://ark.intel.com/products/spec/SR05S  -- But i do not know what cpuscaling module i should load with it.  Anyone has a link that can tell me?
[00:29] <maum> how can I flash plugin in ubuntu 11.10?
[00:29] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, well then you should plan out your entire partition tagble ahead of time or plan on wiping it all out when you want windows (re installing linux)
[00:30] <whatasunnyday> okay pfifo, this is what i had in mind. 10 gb ubuntu, 10 gb backtrack 5, 80 gb windows 2 swap, rest file space
[00:31] <elijah> Does anyone know how I can install the imap.so for PHP? I am getting this warning on launch when running Drush (php program) in the CLI "PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/imap.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/imap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0"
[00:31] <whatasunnyday> also, 20 gb home. i forgot about that. sorry.
[00:31] <elijah> #php said to ask here
[00:32] <pfifo> make the windows partition the very first partition of the drive, then make the rest of the drive an extended and fill with what ever you need
[00:32] <i7c> isn't there any better/new version of skype than that ugly one =)
[00:32] <i7c> it works so much smoother on windows
[00:33] <atome> anyway thanks ... qjoypad
[00:33] <whatasunnyday> pfifo, sorry for the dumb questions but then it would be an 80 gb primary drive, the rest primary and logical extensions of that?
[00:34] <pfifo> whatasunnyday,  [windows 80] { (extended) [logical 10] [logical 10] [swap 2] [home 20] free space for later on }
[00:34] <whatasunnyday> ahhh, thanks
[00:35] <whatasunnyday> so in the end its two partitions, with extensions for the linux partition?
[00:35] <pfifo> 2 primapry partitions with as many logicals as you want for linux and files
[00:35] <whatasunnyday> thanks pfifo
[00:36] <whatasunnyday> that was an excellent explanation
[00:36] <maum> how can I flash plugin in ubuntu 11.10?
[00:36] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, just make sure you put the windows at the very front and as the first partiton, then you can nuke all the rest when you figure out how you like it
[00:37] <whatasunnyday> does that mean i have to install windows first?
[00:37] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, not at all, just make the partition for use later on (but other circumstances make installing windows first a very good move)
[00:37] <maum> I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer but the website which has flash telling me that upgrade the flash version
[00:38] <maum> I don't know why.
[00:38] <jbrks> anybody knows if i should install a cpufreq daemon or is there already one built-in by default?
[00:39] <pfifo> jbrks, are you on a laptop?
[00:39] <jbrks> no
[00:39] <pfifo> jbrks, then dont use any cpu scaling
[00:39] <jbrks> pfifo, i installed nothing, but i do get similar output as from this webpage http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/
[00:39] <whatasunnyday> pfifo, i guess i shouldn't use the ubuntu installer to setup the partitions since it doesn't give me the ntfs option or ability to set a first partition as far as i can tell.
[00:40] <whatasunnyday> i should probably use gparted then, huh?
[00:40] <jbrks> so i'm guessing the kernel/modded has something already
[00:40] <pfifo> whatasunnyday, use 'gparted' utility from the livecd
[00:40] <kaspir> i have a watermark on my screen that says amd unsupported hardware. how do i get rid of this/ check my drivers?
[00:40] <maum> I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer but the website which has flash telling me that upgrade the flash version
[00:40] <whatasunnyday> awesome, great pfifo
[00:40] <jbrks> whatasunnyday, windows works best on the first partition(and make it a primary)
[00:40] <whatasunnyday> thank you so much
[00:41] <pfifo> jbrks, cpu frequency scaling is for saving battery life on laptops, on a desktop that plug into a wall theres no reason for it
[00:42] <Jeanina> Hi guys.. I would like to know that is there "easy to install" irc-client for Ubuntu? And sorry my bad english, I'm from finland
[00:42] <Jeanina> I already have xchat

[00:43] <[[thufir]]1> why does empathy peg the cpu?
[00:43] <pfifo> jbrks, the functionality is there, if you havent messed with it then you should be in performance mode which is what you want for a desktop with infinate power
[00:44] <tarelerulz> Have any of you installed Ubuntu on a android smart phone?
[00:44] <Jeanina> itaylor57 thankyou. I already been there and didn't understood.. I'm not that good on this ;)
[00:45] <pfifo> Jeanina, you could try pidgin, chatzilla and many more
[00:45] <[[thufir]]1> tarelerulz:   how about installing Android on Ubuntu?  then you get the app store.
[00:45] <Jeanina> Does anyone know which is channel for ubuntu finland?
[00:46] <pfifo> !fi | Jeanina
[00:46] <tarelerulz> Well, that would be  great idea.  Not looked into it.  Been reading some on the Ubuntu for android .  It very early ,but it looks very cool
[00:46] <Jeanina> chatzilla on firefox.. didn't like it
[00:47] <Jeanina> thank you
[00:47] <kuwrefem> Pidgin is easy to use.
[00:47] <tarelerulz> I love pidgin  ,but not support for video chat ?
[00:48] <Jeanina> I have never even try that on IRC
[00:48] <pfifo> I used to use pidgin when i first moved to linux for IRC and MSN, this was back when dalnet was cool, but then I took an arrow to the knee
[00:48] <kuwrefem> yeah that happened to me when i tried to set up irssi

[01:06] <Silver26> Yah I dont see anything pertaining to my current shares /etc/smb.conf
[01:06] <KM0201> pfifo: i thought it was /etc/samba/smb.conf

[01:13] <breakbeat> pfifo: Is there anyway to even verify that linux supports the webcam?  I know that it's an older desktop, but drivers should be backwards compatiable with UVC, right?
[01:13] <KM0201> ndiswrapper: sorry, i don't use ndiswrapper (never have) and know nothing about it.
[01:13] <ndiswrapper> Ok
[01:13] <KM0201> !wireless > ndiswrapper see if this helps
[01:14] <pfifo> breakbeat, sorry, im not the guy to ask about webcams, im ugly and i shun all cameras
[01:14] <ndiswrapper> Km0201 do u know how to delete a file via terminal?
[01:14] <breakbeat> pfifo, gotcha.
[01:14] <brianmbi> is there any thing better than bluefish that is a good alternative to screeem?
[01:14] <KM0201> ndiswrapper: rm /path/to/file
[01:14] <worrow> I need an quick instruction for ubuntu 12.04 vmware fusion install
[01:14] <ndiswrapper> Thx
[01:14] <worrow> what do I select as OS. Running vmware fusion 4.1.1
[01:15] <whatasunnyday> nvm, i googled it
[01:15] <pfifo> worrow, ubuntu is linux
[01:15] <worrow> i know. but still selecting linux kernel 2.6?
[01:15] <brianmbi> is there any PHP developers in here?
[01:15] <ndiswrapper> Can anyone help with my ndiswrapper problem?
[01:15] <pfifo> worrow, if it offeres 3.0 choose that, but 2.6 should suffice
[01:16] <worrow> pfifo, thank you, I will use that selection. I know 3.0 does not yet exist in this version of fusion.
[01:16] <worrow> maybe a future update will include but unsure. Linux may have to submit the kernel to the
[01:16] <worrow> them*
[01:17] <pfifo> worrow, try to install a 2.6 kernel to make it happy
[01:17] <worrow> pfifo, Will do. I am hoping to see something special from the new 12.04
[01:17] <ndiswrapper> I upgraded my distro and now when I run "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" it reports "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found."
[01:18] <diverdude> if i need to build and install a program from a manually downloaded source, then how can i ensure that the files are put in the right places?
[01:18] <itaylor57> !info ndiswapper
[01:19] <ndiswrapper> Its installed itaylor57
[01:19] <KM0201> !info ndiswrapper-gtk
[01:19] <pfifo> diverdude, if it uses autotools system then pass --prefix to the configure script
[01:19] <KM0201> hmm
[01:19] <escott> !info checkinstall | diverdude
[01:19] <ndiswrapper> When I run ndiswrapper -l it reports that the driver is installed
[01:19] <KM0201> ndiswrapper: just curious, what model wireless device do you have?
[01:20] <diverdude> escott: checkinstall?
[01:20] <ndiswrapper> Km0201 netgear wg311v3, and I know it works because ive used it before
[01:20] <escott> diverdude, use it instead of install and it will make a dpkg file for you to install with apt
[01:21] <randomenduser> hey, if you have a fullscreened gnome-terminal (with f11), you still see notifications, right?
[01:21] <diverdude> escott: so i do ./configure && make && make checkinstall ?
[01:21] <escott> diverdude, ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && checkinstall
[01:22] <diverdude> escott: ok, nice...how can i then uninstall if i want to?
[01:22] <Darb> hello
[01:23] <escott> diverdude, checkinstall will make a deb file and you can give it a name with some options to checkinstall, that way you can manage the package with apt
[01:23] <diverdude> escott: i see...what will that name be? and will it conflict with earlier versions of the library?
[01:24] <diverdude> escott: what i want is to install the newest version of libgphoto2-2
[01:24] <diverdude> escott: prepackaged with OS comes ver. 2.4.11, but i need 2.4.13
[01:24] <escott> diverdude, if you are installing by hand you will have to deal with any conflicts you may have introduced
[01:25] <diverdude> escott: so what will be the best way to proceed with that endevour?
[01:25] <escott> diverdude, i don't know the answer to that question, but a prefix is often a good idea, and checkinstall is a very good idea. you might check for a ppa if you have not already
[01:25] <diverdude> escott: there is no ppa :(
[01:25] <haux> hello
[01:27] <haux> For some reason this server isn't letting me speak in #httpd. I was wondering if anyone could help me configure Apache in Ubuntu. I have set ServerName to my ip address. Is there anything else I really need to do? In any case, it's not working. When *I* go to my ip address, it brings up my DSL modem configuration. And obviously it doesn't work for anybody else. Going to <IP_ADDRESS> shows the Apache test page.
[01:28] <bazhang> !register | haux
[01:28] <haux> I am registered and identified.
[01:28] <bazhang> haux /join #freenode for help with registering
[01:28] <R00tz> hello
[01:29] <R00tz> i have a warning from rkhunter anyone can help me?
[01:29] <Corey> R00tz: That'd depend upon the warning.
[01:30] <R00tz> http://pastebin.com/rZ5J680P
[01:30] <R00tz> seems like my browser is infected?
[01:31] <Corey> R00tz: Unlikely.  What does mount say?
[01:31] <R00tz> mount?
[01:32] <mystique> hi, I'm running ubuntu on virtual machine and the wireless isn't working. It's automatically selecting ethernet and not giving me much of an option to change
[01:32] <Corey> R00tz: Yes. "mount" without the quotes, press enter.
[01:32] <Corey> mystique: Urm... most virtual machines don't have wireless adapters.
[01:32] <Corey> mystique: They bridge ethernet to whatever the host uses.
[01:32] <wingdspur> mystique you would be using a virtual network adapter anyway
[01:33] <R00tz> http://pastebin.com/faF0MGFX
[01:33] <Corey> R00tz: False positives, you can ignore them.
[01:34] <haux> Can anyone here provide some assistance with configuring Apache for ubuntu?
[01:34] <Corey> haux: If you ask a more specific question, probably.
[01:34] <R00tz> oh ok because i have been infect before that's why i'm asking
[01:34] <R00tz> tyvm sir
[01:34] <Corey> R00tz: And ideally you improved your security practices since.
[01:34] <haux> I asked above, but here it is again: I have set ServerName to my ip address. Is there anything else I really need to do? In any case, it's not working. When *I* go to my ip address, it brings up my DSL modem configuration. And obviously it doesn't work for anybody else. Going to <IP_ADDRESS> shows the Apache test page.
[01:35] <R00tz> yes
[01:35] <R00tz> i learned a lot
[01:35] <Corey> haux: "Your" IP address?
[01:35] <Corey> haux: If you're
[01:35] <Corey> Er.
[01:35] <mystique> Corey, cool. thank you
[01:35] <Corey> haux: if you're talking about the external IP, you need a port forward in some form.
[01:36] <haux> Corey. I guess I'm referring to the WAN IP.
[01:36] <Corey> haux: Yeah, definitely need to forward from that IP to the internal IP of your computer, at least on port 80 but possibly on 443 as well if you're using SSL.
[01:36] <haux> Corey, I added forwarding on port 80 on the DSL modem config.
[01:36] <Corey> And this of course assumes that port 80 isn't blocked.
[01:37] <haux> Corey, let me go look at it again.
[01:37] <Corey> Looks like it may be, nothing's responding on your IP on port 80
[01:37] <Corey> A common issue with residential IPs.
[01:38] <dagerik> Is it safe to tar my home folder?
[01:38] <dagerik> And later restore it.
[01:39] <haux> Corey, so "Web Server" forwards port 80 and 443. 80 and 443 are shown in columns Port Start, Port End, and Port Map. Does this part sound correct so far?
[01:40] <Corey> Yes. What doesn't sound correct is that I think your ISP filters those ports from the outside, as you've got a residential class connection.
[01:40] <Corey> dagerik: Sure, but you may not be able to log in.
[01:40] <frogzoo> what's the gnome vnc applet?
[01:40] <Corey> dagerik: So set up a backup account just in case.
[01:40] <_m0rgue> anyone can help me on gdm2setup please ?
[01:41] <griffjon> so, I'm trying to trac down more leads for this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923131 Intel Ultimate cards (mainly) randomly crap out, and only a reboot gets them working again, hardware switches, networking restarts, even rmmod/modprobe fails
[01:41] <haux> Corey, if that is the case, I assume there's no way around it?
[01:42] <hydrox24> !anyone | _m0rgue
[01:44] <Corey> haux: Upgrade your connection class, bind to an alternate port (8080 is popular), or host your stuff somewhere else.
[01:44] <_m0rgue> thanks hydrox24 but I have kinda given up hope on it...this is my third time raising the question in different format :-(
[01:45] <Corey> _m0rgue: It's your problem, not mine-- I'm not likely to /lastlog to see what your specific issue is.
[01:45] <Corey> Make it easy for people to help you.
[01:45] <haux> Corey, I tried other ports via "Listen" in the config with no success. I think I might be doing that incorrectly?
[01:45] <frogzoo> !vnc
[01:46] <Corey> haux: It sounds like you're putting the cart before the horse.
[01:46] <Corey> haux: Make sure you can hit it on your internal IP (not the loopback) first.
[01:46] <Corey> Once that's working, then let's talk about getting the rest of the world to see it.
[01:46] <_m0rgue> Corey, whatever mayn...jeez
[01:46] <Corey> <IP_ADDRESS> is the loopback, for reference.
[01:46] <Corey> _m0rgue: Your call, I'm just trying to assist you in asking for help.
[01:46] <haux> Corey, I suppose that's the part I am having difficulty with then.
[01:47] <bazhang> _m0rgue, you want to reconfigure gdm?
[01:47] <haux> Corey, since going to my external ip brings up the modem config, I'm kind of stuck there
[01:47] <neeze> hey im a retard when it comes to command line i accidently typed view /usr brought up black screen blue hyphins how do i get back to the basic command line
[01:47] <danny> hello this is sort of a very unprobable thing to ask but is there a way to dual boot both windows and ubuntu at the same time using 2 monitors? with out using a virtual machine
[01:47] <Corey> haux: No, your local OP.
[01:47] <Corey> IP*
[01:47] <_m0rgue> thanks bazhang, the theme tab is disabled...I want to be able to enable it
[01:47] <Corey> Not your internal IP.
[01:48] <Corey> Er, external.
[01:48] <Corey> haux: ipconfig to a pastebin, please.
[01:48] <hydrox24> neeze: just hit esc, then type ":wq" and hit enter
[01:48] <Corey> Whoops.
[01:48] <Corey> haux: ifconfig rather
[01:48] <Corey> Sorry, brain cramp.
[01:48] <danny> i have both win 7 and ubuntu installed already
[01:48] <dagerik> Corey: Does this look good for backing up /home: tar -czf backup.tar.gz /home/john --exclude=backup.tar.gz
[01:48] <hydrox24> danny: no.
[01:49] <haux> Corey, this may save you some trouble, going to <IP_ADDRESS> shows the Apache test page. If you still need to see the ifconfig output I'll show you.
[01:49] <Corey> dagerik: Where are you running that from?
[01:49] <Cong> dagerik, why don't you try it and find out?
[01:49] <dagerik> Corey: from ~/
[01:49] <hydrox24> dagerik: It looks fine, you will be able to try it without breaking things for sure.
[01:49] <Corey> dagerik: I'd make my life easier and run it from outside of that directory.
[01:50] <danny> hydrox24: ok dang now i dont know to much about virtual machines but i have a windows 7 key on the back of my computer can i use that key if i ran win 7 virtualy from ubuntu ? or will i have to buy a whole new key ?
[01:50] <crazedpsyc> danny: no, that key should work.
[01:51] <Guest78496> .
[01:51] <danny> crazedpsyc: ok thankyou any suggestiongs a good virtual program for ubuntu ?
[01:51] <soaringsky> danny: virtualbox
[01:52] <crazedpsyc> danny: try VirtualBox or VirtualBox OSE (Open Source Edition)
[01:52] <tintoy> hi all please help me how to use ubuntu cloud
[01:52] <soaringsky> tintoy: #ubuntu-cloud
[01:52] <danny> crazedpsyc: is there a big difference between the 2 ?
[01:52] <crazedpsyc> danny: not for most uses, afaik.
[01:53] <danny> crazedpsyc: ok thank you for ur help
[01:55] <tintoy> soaringsky: I have already created an account in ubuntu cloud, How can I use the 5 gig storage ?
[01:56] <soaringsky> !one | tintoy
[01:58] <[[thufir]]1> help with dar script please:  http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1516331    I can't seem to run it.
[01:58] <soaringsky> !one > tintoy
[01:59] <hydrox24> [[thufir]]1: would be more useful if you posted the error it throws?
[02:00] <[[thufir]]1> hydrox24: no error is thrown.  I need it to pause between slices.
[02:01] <[[thufir]]1> yes, there's a -p switch.  however, when I run ./dar_script   there's no dar messages, no "press enter to continue".  I only have room for one slice at a time.
[02:02] <xiewanchen_> In the configure file /etc/default/portmap
[02:02] <xiewanchen_> OPTIONS="-i <IP_ADDRESS>"
[02:03] <danny> is there a way or a program that will take a screen shot of my screen and send it to my email on startup if someone else were to reboot my computer or i were to reboot it remotly
[02:03] <[[thufir]]1> how do I run this script http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1516331  so that dar will pause between slices?  I have space for only one slice.
[02:03] <xiewanchen_> Who can help me to understand this sentence?
[02:04] <[[thufir]]1> xiewanchen:  huh?  which?
[02:04] <CFHowlett> danny   prey
[02:04] <xiewanchen_> OPTIONS=" -i <IP_ADDRESS>"
[02:04] <dagerik> [[thufir]]1: You must make the file executble by chmodding +x. Then you can run it with ./filename
[02:05] <danny> CFHowlett: im searching it right now is it easy to set up ?
[02:06] <CFHowlett> danny   never used it but it seems pretty straightforward ...
[02:06] <[[thufir]]1> dagerik: it is plus x.  I have run it.  it creates a single slice, then nothing.
[02:07] <dagerik> [[thufir]]1: sleep 3, will sleep for three seconds
[02:07] <escott> danny, X can disappear without much of a signal to anyone. the best approach might be to take a screenshot every X minutes and replace the existing file, then add to the gnome-session start a step that archives away the most recent screenshot
[02:07] <danny> CFHowlett: ok thanks its not letting me go to the homepage says its down but it will let me go to the download page so thats good enoguh for me
[02:07] <[[thufir]]1> lol.  PEBKAC mebbe.  I'll try again.
[02:07] <hydrox24> xiewanchen_: you still there?
[02:08] <haux> I'm trying to configure Apache2 in ubuntu. Can someone tell me if i need to set ServerName as my external IP address?
[02:08] <danny> escott: is that in the gui or via the terminal ?
[02:08] <Nick-1> Hey, im trying to create a wide open samba server and shares, is there a simple way to do this?
[02:09] <dagerik> haux: That should not be neccessary.
[02:10] <haux> dagerik, when I don't, I get the error: "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName"
[02:10] <haux> dagerik, so I presume that I do?
[02:10] <dagerik> haux: I also get that error. But apache still works perfectly.
[02:11] <haux> dagerik, in that case, my next question is. It doesn't work. I have "Listen 59071", and http://<IP_ADDRESS>:59071 won't work for me
[02:12] <haux> dagerik, any suggestions?
[02:12] <CFHowlett> danny   I show it live again
[02:13] <dagerik> haux: Are you trying to reach your own server from the same machine that the server is running on?
[02:13] <escott> danny, it would be a script which you can write and test on the cli. it should look something like: "#!/bin/bash\n mv screenshot.png `date --rfc-3339=seconds`_screenshot.png\n while true\n do\n sleep 300;\n screenshot-app\n done
[02:13] <haux> dagerik, I am.
[02:13] <dagerik> haux: Try http://localhost:59071
[02:14] <haux> dagerik, localhost work, and my local IP works. It doesn't work on port 59071
[02:14] <mao> hello,how can I set the gnome-terminal's tab bar bottom
[02:14] <[[thufir]]1> dagerik: that script just hangs.  There's 6+GB available space, but the slice is only ~500MB.   I would rather not use a script, and just use DAR directly, but don't know the syntax.
[02:15] <dagerik> haux: Let mee see the line in ports.conf that starts with "Listen"
[02:15] <dagerik> haux: You can do that like this;  grep Listen /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[02:15] <[[thufir]]1> dagerik: of course, now the slice is 1.5GB, so maybe it's just quite slow.  ok, I'll wait a bit...?
[02:16] <reder> hi i want to install firebird with rpm files but giving this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/881324/ can any body help me about this
[02:16] <haux> dagerik, Listen 80. I added Listen 59071 in httpd.conf
[02:16] <dagerik> haux: Obviously, you need to learn to configure apache.
[02:17] <Wildbat> I have try to boot a Native Win7 (64bit) under Virtual Box in ubuntu 10.04 ~ but it enter a boot loop anyone have a solutions?
[02:17] <dagerik> haux: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default is probably the file you wanna configure. Unless you have clutteed with cirtual hosts before.
[02:17] <[[thufir]]1> mao: what do you mean?  the size of the window?  doesn't GNOME just remember?
[02:17] <haux> dagerik, you would be correct. I installed apache in windows years ago without issue and no custom configuration. I have never installed it in ubuntu.
[02:18] <dagerik> haux: Well, it now runs on port 80. More problems we must fix? :)
[02:19] <[[thufir]]1> is 4500MB the correct size to set DAR for DVD-R media?
[02:20] <haux> dagerik, let me add 59071 to ports.conf then, and I'll see what happens. Port 80 doesn't work for me in any case. When I go to my external IP, my modem config comes up, and it doesn't work for anyone else. I don't need this to be on port 80 anyway.
[02:20] <mao> [[thufir]]1: I mean,while the gnome-termianl's tab bar is on the top indefault,but I want let it on the bottom.Is there any way
[02:21] <dagerik> haux: Obviously, you also need to learn about network. If you are behind a router which does NAT-ing, then you have an internal ip such as <IP_ADDRESS> which is only visible on your lan. You can use that one, or <IP_ADDRESS> or localhost to reach yourself.
[02:22] <haux> There is no router. Just a DSL modem.
[02:22] <reder> hi i want to install a rpm files but taking this error on ssh http://paste.ubuntu.com/881324/ can any body help me about this
[02:22] <[[thufir]]1> mao: ohhh.  you must stand on your head or something :)   ok, hmm.  that may not be be possible.   you googled it?  I'll google too, nothing else to do ATM.
[02:22] <dagerik> Your "external" ip is <IP_ADDRESS> your routers ipaddress.
[02:23] <[[thufir]]1> mao: gnometweak?  did you try that?
[02:23] <haux> dagerik, I know this.
[02:24] <soaringsky> reder: rpm is not ubuntu's packaging system. you'll probably have lots of problems with it
[02:24] <dagerik> haux: Remember to restart apache after each change to config files. Also; if you want the outside world to reach your http server, you need to instruct your router to send data towards your pc.
[02:24] <mao> [[thufir]]1: thank you,i'll try
[02:24] <soaringsky> !rpm | reder
[02:24] <dagerik> haux: apache can be restartet like this: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[02:25] <haux> dagerik, I know that too.
[02:25] <soaringsky> dagerik: haux: you can also do service apache2 restart
[02:25] <hydrox24> haux: the proper way on buntu is sudo service apache2 restart
[02:25] <haux> dagerik, It's the configuration I am having difficulty with, not understanding networks or how to restart apache.
[02:25] <roasted> Question - is there a way I can set my Ubuntu desktop to automatically turn on at a certain time?
[02:26] <dagerik> haux: I want to help you! What is the problem now?
[02:26] <halversondm> DNS - I setup a Ubuntu Server 11.10 for the purpose of home network.  Host a website, etc.  I set the DNS on the server for my internal domain name.  To test I set my laptop on wireless to use the internal DNS.  no issues.  Everything works just fine.  BUT I want that internal DNS available to all computers that connect to my router.  So I updated the router to have the primary IP of my server and the secondary of an OpenDNS server.
[02:26] <Whiskey> sudo apt-get remove --purge && autoremove build-essential
[02:26] <halversondm> Now when I try to access my website (again just on my internal network) it doesn't work
[02:26] <soaringsky> roasted: not at this time
[02:27] <halversondm> the router skips my internal DNS and goes to the external DNS.
[02:27] <haux> dagerik, let's say everything was working properly. Technically I shouldn't have to configure anythine, and the server should be reachable by the outside world simply by visiting my external IP address, correct?
[02:27] <hydrox24> roasted: look into WOL or wakeonlan
[02:27] <haux> *anything
[02:27] <halversondm> Anyone know why that is?
[02:27] <Fyodorovna> reder, look in the ubuntu repos it is there.
[02:27] <reder> dagerik, soaringsky so can i install firebird server on ubuntu with any rpm files ? or i can install with apt-get ?
[02:27] <roasted> hydrox24, but doesn't that require a router that supports WOL?
[02:27] <roasted> soaringsky, I wonder if there's a BIOS setting to do such a thing?
[02:27] <dagerik> haux: yes, unless you are NAT-ed.
[02:27] <soaringsky> !apt | reder
[02:27] <hydrox24> roasted: then you can setup and automatic script on another computer on the same network to send the packet to wake the computer at the appropriate time
[02:28] <hydrox24> roasted: only a BIOS that supports WOL all routers do.
[02:28] <soaringsky> roasted: not usually
[02:28] <Iceheart> Serious problem here, need to reinstall ubuntu so I did an img burn of 11.10
[02:28] <roasted> hydrox24, ALL routers support WOL???
[02:28] <Iceheart> but my laptop wont boot from the disc
[02:28] <roasted> hydrox24, I thought only specific routers supported WOL
[02:28] <Iceheart> I have already set the boot settings for the disc drive
[02:28] <Iceheart> still nothin
[02:28] <dagerik> Iceheart: Check the md5sum, can be bit errir in transit.
[02:28] <Iceheart> how do I check that?
[02:28] <hydrox24> roasted: WOL is just a normal network packet...
[02:29] <roasted> hydrox24, oh..
[02:29] <dagerik> Iceheart: you generate md5sum from the iso file and compare it the the one on the website
[02:29] <reder> soaringsky thank you i know apt but i want to ask this. can i only install firebird only apt or can i install firebird with rpm files ?
[02:29] <haux> dagerik, I'm not sure what NAT is, but you mentioned a router, and I said that I was not behind a router. I simply have a DSL modem. In any case, the server is NOT accessible by the outside world. Port 80 and 443 are being forwarded in the modem configuration, and still it doesn't work. It's possible that my ISP is blocking 80 or something? I don't know. This is why I was trying to configure it to listen on a different port.
[02:29] <Fyodorovna> Iceheart, try tapping f12 at powering on.
[02:29] <[[thufir]]1> if 54celsius hot for a pentium4 CPU?  it's near the top of the graph for temp :(
[02:29] <kayaman> hi
[02:29] <Iceheart> I did
[02:29] <kayaman> all
[02:29] <Iceheart> it does nothing.
[02:29] <hydrox24> roasted: is the computer you are trying to wake realtively modern?
[02:29] <hydrox24> kayaman: Hi!
[02:30] <[[thufir]]1> haux: your modem might be a router.  how many ethernet ports does it have?
[02:30] <haux> one.
[02:30] <haux> It is not a router.
[02:30] <Iceheart> So you guys think it's a problem with the disk?
[02:30] <soaringsky> reder: installing anything with rpm on ubuntu will not work. get it through apt
[02:30] <haux> It was cheap. Modem/Router combos cost twice as much.
[02:30] <dagerik> haux: It is tricky yo check if you external ip is accessible to the outside world.  All havea boot from menu outside the bios prompted with key or multi key presses.
[02:30] <Iceheart> It's an hp dv7
[02:30] <haux> <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:31] <roasted> hydrox24, sort of. pentium dual core, etc.
[02:31] <kayaman> ok
[02:31] <spacebarbarian> whats the command for listing upstart jobs ?
[02:31] <spacebarbarian> *processes
[02:31] <dagerik> haux: does http://localhost:80 work?
[02:31] <roasted> hydrox24, it's a file server for my parents. I began to question if it needs to run 247. I started to think, what if I just set it to run the entire day on sunday or something and have it auto shut down for the rest of the week. Then saturday night, fire back up so it's online for the automatic backup to kick over to it.
[02:31] <hydrox24> roasted: you'll haveto look through the bios for the feature
[02:31] <roasted> hydrox24, I'm just trying to be smart with what they need vs electricity savings.
[02:32] <roasted> hydrox24, their data doesn't change enough to warrant 247365 uptime, so meh.
[02:32] <dagerik> haux: And also, what is output of "ifconfig | grep inet"
[02:32] <haux> dagerik, yes it does work.
[02:32] <roasted> hydrox24, at the same token I wonder if a pentium dual core is eating enough energy for it to even be a concern when idle.
[02:33] <Fyodorovna> Iceheart, try f1 then esc I see delete on another link.
[02:33] <haux> dagerik, http://pastebin.com/n2crLwXb
[02:33] <dagerik> haux: Just as I thouht, you are behind a router which does NAT-ing.
[02:33] <Iceheart> ok I'll try f1
[02:34] <dagerik> haux: You need to instruct your router to forward data to port 80, to your pc. This is called port-forwarding.
[02:34] <|Anthony|> any way to further identify the results of users
[02:34] <roasted> hydrox24, I wonder, if a computer is in suspend mode if it would be able to wake up vs being completely turned off.
[02:34] <haux> dagerik, port forwarding is setup already.
[02:34] <dagerik> haux: Obviously not
[02:34] <hydrox24> roasted: look at if the BIOS has an auto ON feature, even old ones have that feature.
[02:34] <|Anthony|> sometimes when i call users, it shows me being logged in multiple times
[02:34] <haux> dagerik, does it make any difference that this computer is not the one directly connected to the modem?
[02:35] <|Anthony|> just want to know if there is a way to identify sessions that each instance of user is tied to
[02:35] <haux> dagerik, my connection is coming from the primary computer via ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).
[02:36] <dagerik> haux: You have the port forwaring screwed up. check that ip and ports are correct. good night
[02:39] <Abs1nth3> Good evening. It's my first time here and I have a small question.  When I move my cursor to the left of my screen a menu appear (the same menu that appear when I press the windows button on my keyboard). My question is, Is there to only make this menu appear by clicking the windows key on my keyboard and not while moving my cursur to the left of the screen ?
[02:39] <Abs1nth3> is there a way*
[02:39] <[[thufir]]1> can you write a full 4.7GB to DVD-R ?
[02:40] <Fyodorovna> [[thufir]]1, check the size of the disc.
[02:40] <Fyodorovna> [[thufir]]1, most have a very small buffer above it read.
[02:41] <[[thufir]]1> Fyodorovna: the disc is blank.  I ask before creating dar slices.  is 4.6G safer? or is 4.7 ok?  how do I look at the disc?  nautilus says "empty"
[02:44] <Fyodorovna> [[thufir]]1, I think a right click  then properties gives a amount
[02:44] <[[thufir]]1> it's ok.  it doesn't for me.  properties asy zero.
[02:44] <brazzmunk> hi, can anyone help me out? i have issues with ATI drivers, windows lagging etc
[02:45] <OerHeks> Abs1nth3, i just checked my-unity ( the sidebar you mentioned) but i can't find any setting for that. you should check it out, >> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/unity-tweak-tool-myunity-gets-new-look-coming-to-ubuntu-software-centre/
[02:46] <brazzmunk> hi, can anyone help me out? i have issues with ATI drivers, windows lagging etc
[02:47] <brostoise> where can I find my favourite channels list on xchat?
[02:49] <Whiskey> `echo DD | awk '{print tolower($0)} | bash'` <-- whats wrong here?
[02:50] <brazzmunk> hi, can anyone help me out? i have issues with ATI drivers, windows lagging etc
[02:51] <soaringsky> !ati | brazzmunk
[02:51] <soaringsky> brazzmunk: what issues are you having?
[02:53] <DropsOfSerenity> test
[02:53] <brazzmunk> in Unity windows are slow when dragging or scrolling, i have HD 6850 and latest drivers, searched around and seems that alot of people have this issue but no solution
[02:54] <goddard> is it possible to get the snap to left or right of the screen in Ubuntu 2D?
[02:54] <xxiao> i installed ubuntu 10.04 side by side with windows, however during reboot i did not see grub and it boots into ubuntu directly
[02:54] <xxiao> how could I fix that?
[02:55] <Jordan_U> xxiao: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[02:55] <Fyodorovna> xxiao, try running in ubuntu sudo upfate-grub
[02:55] <soaringsky> brazzmunk: the proprietary drivers are proprietary, so its hard for us to fix them
[02:55] <soaringsky> brazzmunk: is there a bug filed?
[02:56] <Fyodorovna> xxiao, wrong command by one letter follow Jordan_U
[02:56] <xxiao> thanks. let me try
[02:56] <cube123123> hey guys, i just tried setting up full system encryption, but when booting i get this error "cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available"
[02:56] <cube123123> im not sure what to do about it
[02:57] <brazzmunk> i beleive so, last i checked the issue was with compiz, no further solutions i figured someone might have a workaround on here
[02:57] <xxiao> Fyodorovna: yes saw that. thanks
[02:58] <Abs1nth3> Ty Oerheks, sorry for the slow respond I was on the phone
[02:58] <soaringsky> brazzmunk: try going back to the open drivers?
[02:58] <brazzmunk> ubuntu fails to boot
[02:58] <OerHeks> Abs1nth3, with my-unity you can tweak a lot, have fun
[02:59] <xxiao> Jordan_U: os_prober showed nothing
[02:59] <soaringsky> brazzmunk: is there a bug filed for that issue?
[03:01] <brazzmunk> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/879935
[03:01] <xxiao> Fyodorovna: update-grub only outputs some linux stuff
[03:01] <xxiao> meanwhile the windows partition is still at /dev/sda2
[03:02] <xxiao> can I manually add it?
[03:02] <OerHeks> xxiao, os-prober, not os_prober
[03:02] <danny> is there a way to access my ubuntu information on my windows side much like u can access all your windows files when ur in ubuntu
[03:02] <rhin0> how can I force a umount when the terminal locks up because the server is down
[03:02] <xxiao> OerHeks: my typo, os-probe showed nothing
[03:02] <rhin0> ie. .. terminal opens into mount point
[03:03] <rhin0> i'll reboot
[03:04] <Jordan_U> xxiao: If "sudo os-prober" gives no output then it's likely that something is wrong with your Windows installation.
[03:05] <signpost> would anyone mind helping me with pam and ssh?  I just set up google two factor authentication, and it asks for the 2-factor code when I try password auth, but I'd like it to prompt when using a pre-shared key too.  is that possible?
[03:05] <signpost> presumably openssh isn't even hitting pam if there's a shared key.  that's at least what it seems like.
[03:06] <soaringsky> signpost: not possible I think. Pam doesnt get hit for keys
[03:06] <Jordan_U> xxiao:  Could you run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt it produces?
[03:06] <signpost> soaringsky: thanks very much.  that's what I suspected.
[03:06] <Jordan_U> !nootinfo | xxiao
[03:07] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | xxiao
[03:08] <xxiao> i actually ran that script, and it does detect win7
[03:08] <Jordan_U> xxiao: Please pastebin the entire RESULTS.txt.
[03:09] <kaphe> hi, how do i prevent gnome-panel from getting stuck in "auto-hide"?
[03:10] <kaphe> want to place it on the left side of desktop
[03:10] <datruth> what could cause http://pastebin.com/9jLHniMw ?
[03:10] <xxiao> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/iT7K9Mgu
[03:12] <Jordan_U> xxiao: It looks to me like you deleted your Windows System partition.
[03:12] <xxiao> hmmm
[03:13] <xxiao> guess i will have to reinstall it, sigh
[03:13] <xxiao> thanks for the help, i messed it up when i was playing RAID5 with other disks
[03:13] <Jordan_U> xxiao: You're welcome.

[03:14] <Krywk> Hello there. I come here to ask if someone has a solution to this problem:
[03:15] <Krywk> I downloaded Ubuntu Studio. Then I changed from XFCE to GNOME Classic. Neither of those X servers have line-in config, like in "INput" choose "Line-in 1" and all that. How can I solve this?
[03:16] <Krywk> Or how can I get to these configurations?
[03:17] <schelry> hi. i'm trying to troubleshoot wireless networking on a new installation of ubuntu 10.04.4. right now, the networking drop-down only shows "wired" connections, of which there are none. Configuring the preferences for networking to include a wireless connection (requiring WPA2 password) does not make wireless networking show up as an option.

[03:18] <cube123123> guys
[03:19] <cornerse> that was a dumb k-line.
[03:19] <[[thufir]]1> dagerik: fixed that script to a command:  dar -c /home/gandalf/Desktop/thufir2012march03 -s 2600M -p -b -z -R /home/thufir -D   because slice was too large, was going to cause overheating.
[03:21] <cube123123> cornerse: what is a kline?
[03:22] <CFHowlett> schelry   you still with us?
[03:23] <Fyodorovna> xxiao, you load the missing bootfiles to the sda2 partition it looks to be the C main OS partition.
[03:24] <xxiao> Fyodorovna: reinstalling...sigh
[03:24] <xxiao> thanks
[03:25] <cornerse> cube123123: maybe noobs know.
[03:29] <krapsky> .
[03:30] <krapsky> a
[03:30] <Corey> krapsky: Yes?
[03:30] <krapsky> testing out this client, its a P.O.S
[03:30] <krapsky> cant figure out where the hell the chat is..
[03:30] <krapsky> besides this one line thing..
[03:31] <schelry> cfhowlett: yes, I logged right back in (but didn't see your question till right now). I'm here
[03:32] <Corey> krapsky: Looks fairly straightforward to me: http://www.aquaticx.com/screenshots.htm
[03:33] <CFHowlett> schelry   open a terminal type the following the paste the output  lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[03:33] <sacarlson> schelry: I guess we should see what chip set we are playing with;  you could try sudo lshw | pastebinit ;  to provide us with some info.
[03:33] <sacarlson> schelry: or what CFHowlett said is fine
[03:34] <schelry> cfhowlett: I have to switch computers to the linux machine without networking… will do that and come back and ugh: type in the results
[03:34] <CFHowlett> schelry   alright
[03:36] <sacarlson> CFHowlett: what's the grep 14e4 ?  is that to search for broadcom device or something?
[03:37] <CFHowlett> sacarlson   yep.  I'm betting broadcom or realtek ...
[03:37] <sacarlson> CFHowlett: sound cool
[03:39] <schelry> ok well typing reults will be easy: first commapnt ending in 14e4 did not return anything, the next line was the command prompt
[03:39] <schelry> the second command told me to type an apt-get to install pastebinit because it isn't installed, but then the attempt to install it failed.
[03:39] <dati> hi
[03:40] <CFHowlett> schelry   go ahead and run lshw.  out of the LONG list, you should see an entry with "broadcom" or "realtek"...
[03:41] <schelry> k
[03:41] <dati> hi guys any anyone help me configure my linux install as access point and router
[03:41] <dati> ?
[03:42] <sacarlson> dati: is that all it will be?  I think I saw a package that does that if your wifi device will work in master mode
[03:43] <dati> sacarlson: I have atheros ar9285
[03:43] <dati> and yes it does run in monitor mode.
[03:45] <dati> also i will use it while it is being the router...
[03:46] <n1x4> Hi, I updated my system with "sudo su -> rm -rf /" like I was told to do and now it won't boot up. Did I change something with this update?
[03:47] <schelry> cfhowlett: ding ding ding we have a winner. among the results *network: UNCLAIMED has the description Realtek Semiconductor, Limited.
[03:47] <CFHowlett> schelry   thought so.  Sadly, my "expertise" is with broadcom.  I'm certain someone else on the channel has realtek wifi installation skills ...
[03:48] <xangua> n1x4: you deleted all files in your linux partition
[03:48] <n1x4> I'm on my windows laptop right now, if anyone could help I'd appreciate it.
[03:48] <n1x4> xangua: How? It was an update.
[03:48] <CFHowlett> n1x4   who told you to run that command?
[03:48] <dati> xangua: rm is remove...
[03:49] <dr_willis> rm -rf = delete everything
[03:49] <n1x4> Some peaople on #linux
[03:49] <dati> aka delete
[03:49] <n1x4> Well, that just sucks, i was really wanting to try linux out
[03:49] <CFHowlett> !danger|n1xr
[03:49] <dr_willis> time to learn some shell basics asyou reinstall
[03:49] <n1x4> So now I have to re-install it right?
[03:49] <CFHowlett> n1x4   reinstall ...
[03:49] <schelry> cfhowlett: aww… well thank you for your help thus far. I didn't know anything at all about the hardware on this pc… got it free from a freecycler who said it was dead… I'm trying to resurrect it as a project and its really, really turning into a project! but at least ubutunu boots… which is some real progress
[03:50] <dati> anyone with experience installing atheros controllers?
[03:50] <CFHowlett> schelry   you can probably get the wifi working - it's just not MY thing.  :)
[03:50] <n1x4> ath5k? or 9k?
[03:50] <sacarlson> dati: all I found so far is http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd
[03:51] <gnubie> schelry,  you might search on ubuntuforums.org for help
[03:52] <hoshi411> anyone know how to get the xchat channels to have tabs at the bottom like smuxi?
[03:53] <CFHowlett> schelry   also search "ubuntu realtek wifi" and seek the community pages
[03:53] <hoshi411> i hate how you cant configure the smuxi colors
[03:53] <schelry> cfhowlett: I know the wifi card actually works because when I got the thing, windows actually booted for me (once…) and I was able to set up the wifi for automatic connection. Then I started playing around with the os (trying either win7 or linux) and spent the whole weekend just trying to get something, anything, livecd, liveusb, non-live boot disks, to work.
[03:53] <Dogears> Hi!
[03:53] <schelry> gnubie: I've been at the forums. There are actually quite a few threads about problems with wireless networking but none of the ones with my-ish problem had solutions yet.. now that I know it's realtek I can go try agbain
[03:54] <maum> I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer but the website which has flash telling me that upgrade the flash version
[03:54] <sacarlson> dati: but sounds like network shareing is now built into network-manager so might want to look at that also but here's the package for http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hostapd
[03:54] <CFHowlett> schelry   so close and yet... As I understand it, realtek configuration is as much a PITA as broadcom - but it can be done.  Look/ask around.  The answers are there.
[03:55] <schelry> I think my main problem has to be with the realtek driver being missing from the install cd… the "wireless" options do not appear in the networking drop-down, probably because they don't know the Realtek card is there (hends the "unclaimed" comment in the lshw results)
[03:55] <CFHowlett> schelry   don't leap to that conclusion.
[03:56] <schelry> cfhowlett: it's a suspicion, not a conclusion!!
[03:56] <dati> thanks sacarlson
[03:56] <schelry> (i hope I'd know better than to only look for the answer I choose…..)
[03:56] <CFHowlett> schelry   I found after very careful reading that my drivers actually WERE included on the disk in the "restricted" repos.  A little patience, following the correct tutorial and terminal work and I had bcom working great.
[03:57] <CFHowlett> schelry   fyi https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b
[03:57] <gnubie> schelry,  search google for "ubuntu unclaimed card"
[03:57] <schelry> cfhowlett: do you kno whow I can enable the "restricted" repos? I tried setting repo preferences but it would always attempt to download, never evey attempting to access the install cd which was still "in"
[03:58] <Dogears> Just tried to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 but now have a big problem - The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present
[03:58] <CFHowlett> schelry   exactly my point, the drivers were in the boot media - I HAD no wifi access.  No repos available
[03:58] <talalala> hey
[03:58] <schelry> cfhowlett: how to tell the system preferences dialog to "look in the boot media"?
[03:59] <schelry> I didn't find an option for that. could be i'm blind
[03:59] <armence_> Hello all. I have a problem. I am trying to play sound and my user is unable to do so. I would appreciate some help with that
[03:59] <CFHowlett> schelry   again, ask around look around.  The RIGHT tutorial, probably from communication documentation, makes all the difference.
[03:59] <CFHowlett> schelry   I just used the file explorer and found them.
[03:59] <schelry> ok guys, I'm going to sit in here (backburner) and do the searches that you (cfhowlett, gnubie) have recommended. If i have questions you'll hear from me….
[04:00] <CFHowlett> schelry   good luck - believe it or not, I suspect you're quite close.
[04:00] <gnubie> schelry,  you might search on ubuntuforums.org for helpditto
[04:00] <gnubie> schelry,  ditto
[04:02] <schelry> wow, right at the top of the link you gave me (cfhowlett) it says realtek a) is not recognized (to perform a lsusb to find its location id) and b) doesn't support wpa/wpa2, which of course is my chosen security protocol… need to check if the documentation for 10.04.4 had any realtek commentary (This doc is only up to 9.10)
[04:03] <DropsOfSerenity> can someone send me a test messages, just for testing?
[04:04] <schelry> cfhowlett, I used the file explorer to look for the appropriate "inf" file, but only found inf's that related to something else
[04:04] <[[thufir]]1> is it ok to burn 2+ GB files to DVD-R?  It's giving a warning.
[04:05] <sacarlson> [[thufir]]1: I thought dvd holds about 4 gb
[04:05] <cdo> hi
[04:06] <[[thufir]]1> exactly.  it's talking about an iso standard, which I'm googling.  two 2.2GB files are burning.
[04:07] <cdo> i have an old laptop that i was thinking about putting ubuntu on (1ghz celeron, 512mb ram) and i was wondering if lubuntu or xubuntu would be better
[04:07] <dr_willis> lubuntu may be a better option
[04:07] <sacarlson> [[thufir]]1: I guess there might be a limit to boot an iso from usb biger than 2gb as they use fat file format limits
[04:07] <Dogears> Xubuntu works great on that  spec
[04:08] <[[thufir]]1> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660#The_2.2F4_GiB_file_size_limit   I dunno.  I mean, it's burning.  It's just that the *file* itself is 2GB+.  hmm.
[04:08] <KM0201_> xubuntu (w/ xfce4) has been a major letdown, i'd agree to look at lubuntu on that machine
[04:08] <cdo> what are the big differences between the two?
[04:08] <dr_willis> ive not even tried xubuntu in ages. i just use lubuntu on low end systems
[04:08] <Mitchell92> Hello... where I can I find the package that contains libcollada14dom.so?
[04:08] <KM0201_> cdo: the main one, lxde doesn't suck... :)  seriously, lubuntu is "lighter" than xfce, especially xfce4..
[04:09] <dr_willis> !find libcollada
[04:09] <KM0201> woops
[04:09] <KM0201> didn't realize i was here twice
[04:09] <cdo> all right thanks
[04:10] <Dogears> why do I get this message following an upgrade to 11.04? The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present all was working fine before the upgrade
[04:10] <KM0201> cdo: it's all "still ubuntu"... it's really just window dressing... but the problem is, that "window dressing" on xubuntu, has some real bloat
[04:11] <dr_willis> "desktop enviroment"
[04:11] <KM0201> window dressing, desktop environment, same thing...lol
[04:11] <dr_willis> err.. not really
[04:12] <cdo> the laptop that i want to put it on already has windows xp on it. if i burn the lubuntu image to a cd and install it from boot (or from windows if possible?), will it automatically give me a menu to choose between which os after it's installed?
[04:12] <Mitchell92> dr_willis: any advice on what i should do?
[04:12] <satyanash> yea.. Window Decorations can be changed regardless of Desktop environment..
[04:12] <KM0201> cdo: yes, (i wouldn't install from inside windows, but thats me).. but setting up a dual boot system is easy
[04:13] <dr_willis> Mitchell92:  use the search feature of the package managers. what needs that lib?
[04:13] <quixotedon> cdo: yes, dual boot installation is much easy now
[04:13] <Mitchell92> secondlife.
[04:13] <cdo> ok i will try it in a bit thanks!
[04:13] <dr_willis> !games
[04:13] <Mitchell92> it works on another box runnig opensuse
[04:14] <Mitchell92> but i just put a fresh install of ubuntu on another machine and it's not working.
[04:14] <dr_willis> Mitchell92:  makes sence if it needs a lib you dont have installed
[04:15] <dr_willis> !secondlife
[04:16] <samster34> hi...I've been trying to install ubuntu but install or running it from a live cd both freeze :/
[04:17] <hydrox24> is there a way to get the last few minutes of conversation on #ubuntu after just joining?
[04:17] <dr_willis> !log
[04:17] <log> What.
[04:17] <hydrox24> samster34: freeze as in you are unable to do ANYTHING? and you must shutdown by holdin the power button/>
[04:18] <log> !pm | hydrox24
[04:18] <samster34> yes. this occurs shortly after it says something about detecting the video card, possibly while detecting the network chip
[04:18] <dr_willis> samster34:  you did verify the iso file was good?
[04:18] <[[thufir]]1> for a Pentium 4 system with 2GB DDR RAM system, will that be ok with ubuntu 11.10 from the alternate cd?
[04:18] <samster34> yes, in fact I#ve tried several older versions and other distros as well
[04:18] <hydrox24> thanks dr_willis but is there a way to access them from my client (irssi)
[04:19] <Mitchell92> I'm frustrated.
[04:19] <schelry> cfhowlett: still here?
[04:19] <dr_willis> hydrox24: access what
[04:19] <hydrox24> dr_willis: the logs
[04:19] <waxstone> samster34, as you are booting up press shift for the grub menu, press e add nomodeset to kernal line
[04:19] <hydrox24> so that I can get up to speen on a conversation?
[04:20] <dr_willis> hydrox24:  there are console web browseres
[04:20] <hydrox24> dr_willis: OK, so basically I have to use lynx, it's not possible from irssi?
[04:20] <dr_willis> Mitchell92:  askubuntu.com may have a guide on the topic
[04:20] <Mitchell92> ok
[04:20] <samster34> waxstone: I pressed tab on the cd's screen for running or installing linux, and added that option there...same thing or not?
[04:21] <dr_willis> hydrox24:  irc client is not a web browser.... normally...
[04:21] <waxstone> samster34, yes thats the same
[04:21] <samster34> no result then
[04:21] <hydrox24> log: sorry, I thought you were a bot
[04:22] <log> No. :(
[04:22] <hydrox24> log: I typed help hoping to get some sort of output from you.
[04:22] <waxstone> samster34, delete everything after /casper/initrd.lz and add quiet splash nomodeset
[04:22]  * hydrox24 facepalms himself
[04:23] <schelry> ok opening up this question to the room: do you know if the full install live cd for 10.04.4 includes packages that were not installed during the normal process? E.g., without network access, is there a way to install ndiswrapper or wicd?
[04:23] <hydrox24> samster34: after trying what waxstone is suggesting, try using a netinstall/alternate install so that you are less likely to have graphics card issues
[04:24] <samster34> I did try a debian netinstall, no luck with that
[04:24] <dr_willis> schelry: i dont think so
[04:25] <schelry> dr_willis, ok how about this. Since I have networking on my mac, how would I go about downloading the necessary packages so I can put them on a disk/usb and then go about installing them from the drive onto the linux box?
[04:25] <schelry> any idea?
[04:25] <sacarlson> schelry: there are tools to install packages without network access
[04:25] <dr_willis> schelry:  thats doable.
[04:26] <terry_> hi
[04:29] <schelry> dr_willis: forgive me if this is a stupid question… how?
[04:29] <dr_willis> schelry:  no idea. id set um network shareing and run a cable. :)
[04:29] <sacarlson> schelry: maybe with APTonCD https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/offline.html
[04:30] <satyanash> schelry, you could get a list of all the .deb files that need to be downloaded and then get them on the mac. Then do a mass dpkg..
[04:30] <samster34> okay, I tried nomodeset again, I actually get further with that, I get to a purple screen that says ubuntu, and a bunch of call/stack trace listings
[04:30] <talalala> will the tor browser work with ubuntu?
[04:31] <almoxarife> talalala: yes
[04:31] <dr_willis> tor is not a browser.
[04:31] <schelry> dr_willis: my network is already shared but unfortunately the cable modem I have has only the one input… can't run a cable to the other computer… (Wired would be awesome but… not willing to make the primary computer have no internet)
[04:32] <almoxarife> dr_willis: he means the packaged one, tor and browser all in a box
[04:32] <waxstone> samster34, hmm sorry thats all ive got...
[04:32] <dr_willis> schelry:  s2itch the cable for the 10 min it wi take to get the files..
[04:32] <talalala> dr_willis
[04:32] <talalala> the tor browser bundle
[04:32] <schelry> sacarlson: checking out that link. Thx! stayanash: where could I get a list of the .deb files I need? I'm kinda lost once we get past the whole official distribution point.
[04:32] <talalala> vidillia
[04:32] <samster34> I can get linux mint in compatibility mode to start into a shell off the cd...but don't know what I would do once there
[04:33] <_numbers> anyone know of a good linux solution for multi-dvdr burning? like if i want to backup a large capacity raid array to span a series of DVD-R discs by burning one-at-a-time?
[04:33] <almoxarife> talalala: yes the bundle works in ubuntu
[04:33] <sacarlson> schelry: the apttocd does the work of finding what deb files are needed and downloads them
[04:33] <talalala> cool
[04:33] <talalala> any of them?
[04:33] <schelry> dr_willis: it never is only 10 min. every time there's a change to this home network I lose networking for a week_+. I am past the point where just switching cables is something I want to try….
[04:33] <talalala> or does it have to be ubuntu oriented?
[04:33] <dr_willis> samster34:  see the mint support channels
[04:33] <schelry> (that's what I get for using the hardware supplied by comcast)
[04:33] <talalala> try to put down what you dont understand dr willis
[04:34] <almoxarife> talalala: not all, the 'deb' version 32/64 bit depends on your system
[04:34] <talalala> TOR BROWSER BUNDLE
[04:34] <talalala> xcaps
[04:34] <samster34> dr_willis: yeah I guess, but not really what I was looking for
[04:34] <talalala> deb?
[04:34] <talalala> link to deb version
[04:34] <talalala> the deb versio nwill work?
[04:34] <dr_willis> schelry:  a home router may be a good investment for you.
[04:35] <almoxarife> talalala: I take that back, its not a deb download, it's a compressed file that you unzip into a folder
[04:35] <samster34> what do all the stack: call trace: code: <hex numbers> mean :/
[04:36] <talalala> oh
[04:36] <talalala> can u link me please
[04:36] <waxstone> samster34, can you put an enxample of what you are seeing into pastebin?
[04:36] <almoxarife> talalala: but you could install tor and vidalia and use your own browser, not as safe as the 'tor-browser' bundle though, get the bundle
[04:37] <schelry> sacarlson: Thank you thank you thank you! I think that link you gave me gives me the answer I need to install from the installer cd… it tells me the "origin" trick that I was missing. Giving that a try… (aptoncd will be the next step if that doesnt work)
[04:38] <schelry> dr_willis: I have a home router, belkin, wireless g, however the cable modem from comcast does NOT have enough ports for me to do anything other than link the one pc to the one cable modem (no router capabilities). I guess it assumes other computers would access the network wirelessly, which tehy should/would/could if i could get this linux box to use its wireless card.
[04:38] <samster34> here : http://pastebin.com/fnLhY7ci
[04:39] <schelry> putting the old router into the mix won't work because then it will leave out the cable modem, and then i'd have a lan without internet
[04:39] <sacarlson> talalala: did you look at this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/how-to-install-tor-in-ubuntu-1010.html
[04:39] <almoxarife> talalala: google 'tor browser bundle' , don't d/l from a second party
[04:40] <waxstone> samster34, have you checked the cd for errors?
[04:40] <samster34> I've been doing this off of USB flash drives
[04:40] <almoxarife> sacarlson: no, he wants 'tor browser bundle' it's a complete setup, works great
[04:41] <MimosakaRyou> anyone have been experiencing any keyboard lag on ubuntu lucid?
[04:41] <waxstone> !usb
[04:44] <Vinnie_win> git output doesn't show colors in my ubuntu terminal
[04:44] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: at times I have key lags in firefox I think it's java releated
[04:45] <lya> bonjours , il y a t'il du monde
[04:45] <sacarlson> Vinnie_win: if you want color in git you should try gitg  the gui for git
[04:46] <Vinnie_win> sacarlson: I'm just looking for some color in my git status output
[04:46] <dr_willis> schelry:  i just go modem -- router -- rest of the lan.  some of my pcs are wired to the router. others are wireless. i do have to power off the modem if i switch routers,
[04:46] <Vinnie_win> sacarlson: ...is color not a feature of the default ubuntu terminal?
[04:47] <sacarlson> Vinnie_win: yes I think so but the output has to add codes to color it
[04:47] <dr_willis> Vinnie_win:  programs do colors.. ls --color
[04:47] <Vinnie_win> dr_willis: Yes I see. So its with git
[04:48] <tiox> [Ubuntu 11.10] Something funny is happening to the laptop battery in my PC.
[04:48] <MimosakaRyou> sacarlson : yeah same here but now it's gettin worst. it's gettin quite often it's getting on my nerves
[04:48] <Vinnie_win> dr_willis: Hooray! "git config --global color.ui true" was the proper incantation
[04:48] <tiox> It said it was at 50% even though the laptop itself physically said it's full. Then I pull the abttery out and put it back in while hooked up to AC, was that the right thing to do or was/is there something else I could do?
[04:49] <tiox> battery*
[04:49] <tiox> Oh, I put it back in and locked it back up, everything seems A-ok.
[04:49] <hydrox24> tiox: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info
[04:49] <hydrox24> mayber BAT0 but that should give you the most accurate info possible.
[04:49] <tiox> WOuld require me installing acpi, lol
[04:50] <tiox> Oh.
[04:50] <Eruadan>  hi, i had installed the full ruby/aand rails with rvm, rails and refinery engine. all went fine, after generating the app i went to the app folder and rails server. after few hours i had to install apache and php on the same machine, to open a php app. this morning, i went to the rails app folder and rails server command, but for some reason i get the message rails is not installed. i'm running ubuntu oneric, the last one, in a virtual box
[04:50] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: ya I even upgraded java hoping it would help but didn't,  you can look at the output of top to see what is using your resources
[04:51] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: I noted if I disable java in firefox that goes away but you can't always live without java
[04:51] <schelry> ugh ok dr willis i think you have me convinced. i'm going to try rewiring the whole shebang. which requires moving furniture but that's probably easier than finding the needle in the .deb file haystack sinc emy first 85 fix attempts have arrived at the big nadaenchilada
[04:51] <samster34> okay, I recreated the bootable usb flash drive from the guide you linked, with the tool suggested there...and now I don't even get to the CD's menu, just a flashing cursor on a black screen
[04:52] <almoxarife> tiox: how old is the batt?
[04:52] <enchilado> hey
[04:52] <enchilado> I was highlighted
[04:52] <enchilado> :o
[04:52] <tiox> Since I got the laptop; A few years.
[04:52] <enchilado> 'nadaenchilada'? O_o
[04:52]  * dr_willis puts salsa on enchilado
[04:52] <enchilado> D:
[04:52] <schelry> enchilado: i typed "nadaenchilada" did that re-highlight you'?
[04:52] <tiox> It ewas designed to have 5800 mAh, currently has a little over 5000
[04:52] <enchilado> schelry: yeah, that was what did it. :P
[04:52] <tiox> Last full was 5291 mAh.
[04:53] <tiox> So yeah, it seems pretty alright.
[04:53] <schelry> well there you go. I guess you were the purpose of my haystack search… and now i've found you!
[04:53] <enchilado> :P
[04:53] <dr_willis> enchilado:  thats what you get for usig such a common term. ;)
[04:53] <tiox> Just funny GNOME's power indicator said <50%.
[04:53] <Eruadan> hi, i have installed ruby and rails stack on my ubuntu oneric. all was good.this morning i tried to start an app with a built in webrick server, and i got the message rails not installed, any ideas/
[04:53] <Eruadan> ?
[04:53] <dr_willis> Eruadan:  installed how
[04:53] <tiox> Eruadan: Canyou run it in the terminal and get more verbose error output?
[04:54] <MimosakaRyou> sacarlson : yeah man. i've tried that too and the lag really goes away. on top of that my resource isn't being used much. i wonder if everyone experiencing the same problem
[04:54] <lya> join ubuntu.fr
[04:54] <enchilado> schelry: does "have arrived at the big nadaenchilada" mean "have come to nothing"?
[04:54] <Eruadan> tiox and dr_wilis, i will run it and give the raw error
[04:54] <lya> join #ubuntu.fr
[04:54] <log> lya: /join #ubuntu-fr
[04:55] <log> Or that.
[04:55] <lya> french
[04:55] <MimosakaRyou> sacarlson : and bro if u disabled key-repeat , the lag would be somewhat rarer , but still it's goin to occur
[04:55] <lya> join ubuntu.fr
[04:55] <schelry> -
[04:55] <MimosakaRyou> sacarlson : but not as often if u have key-repeat on
[04:55] <log> lya: /join #ubuntu-fr
[04:55] <hydrox24> lya: you need a forward slash infront of "join" e.g. "/join"
[04:56] <sacarlson> MimosakaRyou: I'm not sure I have the same problem as you as I see spikes in top when I have my problem
[04:57] <samster34> waxstone: I redid the flash drive with the tool suggestedon the page you linked, and it works even less than before
[04:57] <Eruadan> tiox, this is the error, The program 'rails' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[04:57] <Eruadan> tiox, i might have to say that i had installed apache2 and php5, only after that it didn't work
[04:57] <hydrox24> Eruadan: is rails related to the rails that you want? I know it sounds simple but it is worth checking
[04:58] <schelry> ok testing...
[04:58] <waxstone> samster34,  what is the last thing it says before dying now?
[04:58] <samster34> nothing
[04:58] <samster34> I don't even get into the CDs launcher/menu
[04:58] <Eruadan> hydrox24, what do you mean?
[04:58] <samster34> I get a brief flash of a purple screen, then black screen and flashing cursor
[04:59] <schelry> whoops, sorry about that. alright so the fact that I can see stuff happening here means the mac is getting internet even though i've messed about with cables. now to see what's going on with the pc...
[04:59] <lerop> who is in charge of selinux for ubuntu that works for the company and is on irc
[04:59] <waxstone> samster34, there are a few known issues with USB installation the only help links I know are here. there are two links
[04:59] <waxstone> !usb | samster34
[05:00] <lerop> ill impove it 5 points
[05:00] <KM0201> lerop: what do you mean "who is in charge of selinux"?
[05:00] <lerop> browser and server security for next release
[05:00] <samster34> well, the tool I used to create the install flash drive before (universal usb installer) worked pretty well
[05:00] <log> lerop: /join #selinux
[05:01] <waxstone> samster34, still without success though.
[05:02] <samster34> if I really have to, I can burn a DVD
[05:02] <samster34> I can't afford to burn 20 different distros though :p
[05:02] <waxstone> samster34, sell the live cd to your neighbour after ;P
[05:03] <dr_willis> pendrivelinux tools can make multi distro usb drives
[05:03] <sesmer> why ubuntu over linux?
[05:03] <rbrooks> i so wish i could sell old Linux cds...
[05:04] <dr_willis> sesmer:  ubuntu is a linux distro.
[05:04] <sesmer> isnt linux more professional
[05:04] <waxstone> sesmer, ubuntu is linux ;)
[05:04] <dr_willis> rbrooks:  i got a few 100 ;)
[05:04] <rbrooks> ;)
[05:04] <Eruadan> problem solved ./script/rails server ;/, could you explain why that works and rails server, says rails not installed?
[05:04] <sesmer> yes but it is at the same time not linux
[05:05] <schelry> enchilado: that's what i meant before you got highlighted and i realized that what i really arrived at was your doorstep
[05:05] <enchilado> :P
[05:05] <dr_willis> sesmer:  every linux disrto is using the linux kernel... so its linux
[05:05] <schelry> dr_willis: well, it seems that now my router is part of the setup, the mac still gets internet and the ubuntu box still doesn't… having a hard wire going from the router to the linuxbox didn't achieve diddly, even after restart
[05:06] <dr_willis> schelry:  check ifconfig, and netwoek manager.  also check the cables perhaps
[05:07] <waxstone> sesmer, ubuntu is GNU/linux but thats a whole other kettle of fish ;P
[05:08] <sesmer> Is linux on itself is more reputable?
[05:08] <dr_willis> sesmer:  there is no 'just linux'
[05:09] <dr_willis> linux on itself = just the kernel
[05:10] <sesmer> ooh i see
[05:10] <sesmer> but is ubuntu used commercially ?
[05:10] <dr_willis> thats whet we have been saying.. ;) sort of...
[05:10] <schelry> dr_willis, it seems my problem is a missing power cord… i'm actually surprised that the router is working without it for the main mac connection.
[05:10] <sesmer> i see that ubuntu is linux yes
[05:10] <Jordan_U> sesmer: Yes.
[05:10] <dr_willis> schelry:  need moar powar scotty!
[05:11] <schelry> sesmer, lots of companies use the ubuntu server edition for their servers
[05:11] <samster34> waxstone: while without success, I tested them and the flash drives prepared with universal usb installer boot fine on my other copmputer
[05:11] <dr_willis> sesmer:  yes... all linux distros are 'linux'
[05:11] <schelry> unfortunately, I've gone through my bag o' wires and not found one that fits.
[05:11] <sesmer> but are they all equally reputable to an employer
[05:11] <schelry> like goldilocks, except without the middle-sized connector.
[05:12] <sesmer> to say i know ubunut vs .....
[05:12] <Shirakawasuna> sesmer: Each piece of linux can be viewed separately as a thing to leran
[05:12] <Shirakawasuna> *learn
[05:12] <dr_willis> schelry:  evety time i get a new gizmo i mark the power supply with a marker
[05:12] <Jordan_U> sesmer: It probably depends on the employer, and this is getting pretty offtopic. Please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic (this channel is strictly for Ubuntu support only).
[05:13] <waxstone> samster34, I dont doubt that. Something different on this box is preventing the install. Hardware,BIOS, who knows,keep posting your problem a USB install  master will show up and help you
[05:13] <sesmer> oh my bad ty
[05:13] <samster34> there are some errors while it's enumerating the usb devices
[05:13] <Jordan_U> sesmer: You're welcome.
[05:13] <samster34> no idea if that's normal or not.
[05:14] <schelry> well, i figured out the reason the mac is getting internet is because it's set up to use the modem as a wifi access point, so the lack of a cord running to the mac isn't a problem. the presence of a cord running to the pc doesnt help without the power cord for the router.
[05:14] <samster34> fedora install even froze during the usb errors
[05:14] <schelry> so i'm right back to the whole, can't get internet on the pc
[05:14] <schelry> so, going back to sacarlson's link for aptoncd
[05:14] <waxstone> samster34, try another brand of usb if possible
[05:15] <almoxarife> hate it when my fedora freezes
[05:15] <samster34> I have tried the two different ones I have available, a lexar, and a sandisk cruzr
[05:15] <log> !rootirc | Guest77151
[05:16] <sacarlson> samster34: maybe look at nomodeset boot option to see if your system will boot with that
[05:17] <Guest77151> yes, i understand. i am using openbsd 4.7 with irssi as a console.
[05:17] <samster34> sacarlson: tried that, screen full of stack traces is the result
[05:17] <samster34> they look like this: http://pastebin.com/fnLhY7ci
[05:17] <sacarlson> samster34: oh are you trying 64bit kernel on a 32bit procesor?
[05:17] <Jordan_U> Guest77151: Just because you're using openbsd doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't switch to another user for running irssi.
[05:17] <pkh> I need to do some tech support for my dad (wee're both using ubuntu, both behind nat) -- is there anything that will be simple to setup that will do the job?
[05:18] <dr_willis> pkh:  teamviewer works well
[05:18] <dr_willis> pkh:  then theres good old ssh
[05:18] <samster34> sacarlson: it's an intel Q8300, I'm pretty sure it's 64 bit
[05:19] <pkh> dr_willis, i could do most if not all via ssh, but punching back and forth through nat's is a pain in tha ass.
[05:19] <log> pkh: I'd recommend TeamViewer as well.
[05:19] <dr_willis> pkh:  i just set up port forwarding.
[05:19] <pkh> solution at the moment is skype and me telling him where to move the mouse instead of moving it myself...
[05:19] <Guest77151> i am new to irssi and ubuntu channel. what do you mean switching to another user?
[05:20] <pkh> dr_willis, both of us move around -- that's fine when we're both at home...
[05:20] <dr_willis> pkh:  dyndns )
[05:20] <pkh> looks like teamviewer is worth a look, cheers.
[05:20] <dr_willis> teamviewer does work well
[05:20] <Jordan_U> Guest77151: Quit irssi, "su some_non_root_user", then start irssi again as the new, non-root, user.
[05:20] <pkh> dr_willis, still need to punch through whatever nat's are between us
[05:20] <pkh> dyndns is setup on both pc.s already.
[05:21] <sacarlson> samster34: stack traces come up at what time?  can you see what the last attempted init activity was?
[05:21] <LukeNukem> i sit me or is facebook down?
[05:21] <Jordan_U> !ot | LukeNukem
[05:21] <samster34> sacarlson: no, the screens full of text are gone by that time. these appear on a purple screen that says "ubuntu 12.04"
[05:21] <dr_willis> theres some 'down for just me' web site
[05:22] <Guest77151> i see. i will leave.
[05:22] <sacarlson> samster34: oh try ubuntu 11.10 or maybe you tried that already

[05:29] <schelry1> ok, brief logout due to powering up the modem again...
[05:30] <LukeNukem> dr_willis, is it network proxy?
[05:30] <dr_willis> LukeNukem:  no idea. icon at the top right normally. or try nm{tab}
[05:30] <Jordan_U> hoshi411_: You might be confused about the difference between xchat and xchat-gnome.
[05:30] <hoshi411_> i can't set the fonts and colors and tabs at bottom
[05:30] <AiSkWaD> from the server?
[05:30] <sadov> иоб твоя матъ

[05:30] <hoshi411_> wow... i see
[05:30] <hoshi411_> had no idea
[05:31] <Jordan_U> hoshi411_: Yes. That's why they're two different packages.

[05:37] <waxstone> AiSkWaD, personal questions go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:37] <AiSkWaD> ok thanks
[05:37] <samster34> dr_willis: I don't have ubuntu installed yet, and I can't install it until I get this resolved :)

[05:51] <samster34_> dr_willis: ok, trying to boot ubuntu from the flash drive in text mode, but now it freezes after saying something along the lines of "vblank supported "
[05:53] <lerop> fenris gave pi to ubuntu cops here for selinux and it belongs exclusively to fedora.
[05:53] <samster34> and using both nomodeset and text gets me back to the purple screen with the call trace

[05:54] <bai_hui> how to fix Skype on ubuntu 11.10
[05:54] <szal> define 'fix'
[05:54] <dr_willis> !skype
[05:56] <samster34> also, that page does not seem to contain any info on text mode
[05:56] <bai_hui> !skype
[05:56] <nick> hey i have an audio input question can someone help?
[05:56] <szal> Guest53126: not without knowing the issue
[05:56] <bai_hui> !telnet
[05:57] <bazhang> bai_hui, thats enough
[05:57] <bai_hui> ?
[05:57] <Guest53126> i'm using julius-4.2.1 to take input from an audio device
[05:57] <dr_willis> !fish
[05:57] <Guest53126> so julius-4.2.1 -input mic
[05:57] <Guest53126> however it defaults to the internal mic on my laptop, i want to select my usb microphone how do i select it
[05:57] <Guest53126> i tried setting AUDIODEV=hw:1,0
[05:57] <Guest53126> but didn't work
[05:58] <soreau> Guest53126: Did you try clicking on the sound icon and select preferences then look at the output devices tab?
[05:58] <dr_willis> Guest53126:  the pavcontrol tools may let you select
[05:59]  * bai_hui slaps bazhang around a bit with a large trout
[05:59] <samster34> dr_willis: I can't seem to enter text mode
[06:00] <dr_willis> samster34:  the grubs rescue, or recovery mode should work about the same.
[06:00] <dr_willis> you basically replace the 'quiet splash' with 'text' in the grub entry
[06:01] <samster34> I've been adding it behind the splash
[06:01] <dr_willis> remove quiet splash, add text
[06:01] <samster34> trying now
[06:01] <seekwill> Hello. Is there an IRC channel or forum focusing on Ubuntu server?
[06:01] <samster34> enumerating those usb devices takes ages
[06:01] <Guest53126> hmm yeah neither worked i could only disable the internal mic
[06:01] <Guest53126> won't let me set up the usb one
[06:02] <dr_willis> or use noquiet nosplash nofb text
[06:03] <samster34> line it froze after is now forcedeth 0000:00:0f .0: highdma pwrctrl mgmt gbit lnktim msi desc-
[06:04] <soreau> ! server | seekwill
[06:04] <seekwill> ah, awesome. Thanks!
[06:06] <maum> I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer but the website which has flash telling me that upgrade the flash version
[06:06] <samster34> dr_willis: ok, using noquiet nosplach nofb text, it stops progressing earlier after the line "EDD information not available" with a flashing cursor
[06:07] <samster34> *nosplash
[06:07] <dr_willis> you should be  getting s login: prompt somewhere  try alt-ctrl-f1 through 6,  hit enter a few times
[06:08] <samster34> the keyboard is dead
[06:08] <Guest53126> urgh i have no devices listed under input devices in my sound preferences
[06:10] <lawltoad> hey, so my sound is dead, how do i restart the whole subsystem
[06:10] <lawltoad> ?
[06:10] <dr_willis> samster34:  no idea then. sounds like you got deeper issues going on
[06:10] <voglster> ok so i have a friend who really effed up an old linux system.. ubuntu 8 he upgraded to ubuntu 10 and it wont boot... im thinking mostly because of switching grub...
[06:11] <voglster> i have since replaced back down to grub1 but the main hd was a fake raid we have removed the raid system hooked up 1 hard drive (it was a mirrored set) and i am currently trying to get the system to boot
[06:11] <MK`> If I am on Ubuntu 10.04 when 12.04 comes out, will the upgrade button upgrade me to 11.10 or directly to 12.04?
[06:11] <schelry1> uh, ok. i'm stymied again. what happens if I know i have a realtek 8190 wlan controller (gotten from the grep command search) but realtek's website doesn't include software for that number? (8168, 8188, 8192, but no 8190
[06:11] <goddard> I'm having some run away process that is really laggying my system can some one help debug?
[06:11] <voglster> anyone have any suggestions? for some reason when i try to install grub to sda its pointing back to /dev/mapper/xxx still
[06:12] <dr_willis> you can go lts to lts.... or step by step
[06:12] <schelry1> when i search realtek for 8190 it comes up with 8192
[06:12] <MK`> Ah, how do I go step by step? Can I use a CD?
[06:12] <Guest53126> does anyone know how to use AUDIODEV to set an input mic device?
[06:12] <goddard> is lightdm suppose to take 66 to 80% of my CPU?
[06:13] <kenro> Anyone have any advice on fixing a sticky spacebar without using tolls?
[06:13] <dr_willis> MK`:  you can upgrade  10.04-10.10-11.04-11.10-1.04       or go lts to lts.  but i always do clean installs
[06:14] <kenro> s/tolls/tools
[06:14] <talalala> hey
[06:14] <talalala> try to put down what you dont understand dr willis
[06:14] <samster34> ok, I just burned it do a dvd and tried to boot from there, don't even get to the menu where I can select whether to install or run, just a black screen with flashing cursor
[06:14] <MK`> Physically sticky, because something spilled on it? Or some software problem kenro ?
[06:14] <dr_willis> kenro:  qtip and some distilled water... depends on why its sticking
[06:14] <maum> help me
[06:14] <maum> ...
[06:15] <maum> I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer but the website which has flash telling me that upgrade the flash version
[06:15] <harsh343> sudo: /etc/sudoers.d/README is mode 0755, should be 0440 I got an error what i am trying is
[06:15] <harsh343> Reboot PC
[06:15] <harsh343> hit chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers in terminal under recovery mode
[06:15] <harsh343> but same problem remains
[06:15] <schelry1> does anyone know the linux kernel number for 10.04.4?
[06:15] <dr_willis> maum:  sites that tell you to upgrade flash are often wrong.. ;)
[06:15] <kenro> MK`: prolly soda pop mixed with sleep depr drool...
[06:16] <harsh343> what i can do ?
[06:16] <maum> dr_willis: what's that mean?
[06:16] <MK`> Most keyboards nowadays are modular, you can just pull out the spacebar key and clean it and put it back in
[06:16] <waxstone> samster34, what version of ubuntu have you burnt to dvd?
[06:16] <mentok> doing googling, I keep getting pointed to bash, is there a method to just cp a file and add the timestamp on a oneoff basis?
[06:16] <MK`> The only difference is the spacebar has 2 tiny metal bars on it because of its length, but that's no issue.
[06:16] <mentok> this wont be done frequently so I don't need to automate it with bash
[06:16] <maum> dr_willis: the other site also same
[06:16] <kenro> MK`: This one is hp mini, with atom cpu... modern enough?
[06:16] <nickzilla> does anyone know how to set my audio input device for julius?
[06:17] <dr_willis> maum:  what sites..
[06:17] <harsh343> dr_willis, any ans for me
[06:17] <MK`> maum: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[06:17] <kija987> does anyone know any system resource logger for ubuntu?
[06:17] <maum> dr_willis: http://apps.facebook.com/playcastleville/index.php
[06:17] <samster34> if I install ubuntu on one pc, and then move the install to another pc with different hardware - is there any chance of it working?
[06:18] <mentok> kija987: top?
[06:18] <dr_willis> samster34:  video card will be the biggest issue
[06:18] <samster34> it's not all that different, both intel CPUs, both nvidia gfx cards, but different chipsets and everything
[06:18] <dr_willis> samster34:  but it can work
[06:19] <kija987> @mentok: can i write the output onto a file?
[06:19] <kenro>
[06:19] <mentok> yep
[06:19] <mentok> top > file.txt
[06:19] <kija987> mentok: thanks
[06:19] <mentok> sure thing
[06:19] <Dogears> how can I copy the home directory to a USB stick from the terminal?
[06:19] <maum> MK`: I installed flash player 11 version from software center or apt-get but flash site does not working well.
[06:19] <samster34> then I guess I'll try installing on my main computer, deleting the xorg config, and moving it to the other computer...
[06:19] <samster34> brb
[06:20] <goddard> Dogears: cp
[06:20] <MK`> maum: what version does it say you have?
[06:20] <ilon_> Dogears: cp /home/user /media/usbdev
[06:20] <MK`> kenro: should be fine, especially for a laptop
[06:20] <maum> MK`: how can I check the version?
[06:20] <kenro>                                                           c
[06:20] <Dogears> thanks

[06:21] <oppalovesme> so what goes down in here?
[06:21] <TurtleEater> 1475
[06:21] <ponrajuganesh> I need to find whether the "sample" is found in a string something like "hai tehre sample" - if it found it must resturn some - how could this be done
[06:21] <ponrajuganesh> which command will help
[06:21] <maum> MK`: Linux Firefox	<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:21] <ilon_> ponrajuganesh: grep
[06:21] <dr_willis> ponrajuganesh:  grep.. what do you want it to return?
[06:22] <MK`> That is the current version maum. The problem must lie elsewhere
[06:22] <waxstone> !ot
[06:22] <ponrajuganesh> I just need to know whether the word is found or not that's it dr_willis
[06:22] <MK`> ^
[06:22] <dr_willis> ponrajuganesh:  grep sets return codes...
[06:22] <nickzilla> god dammit it shouldn't be so freaking difficult just to select a freaking microphone
[06:22] <maum> MK`: is there a way to check if the flash player is installed?
[06:22] <ponrajuganesh> any tutorial what am I to Google dr_willis
[06:22] <dr_willis> ponrajuganesh:  bash scripting guide perhaps?
[06:23] <dr_willis> !abs
[06:23] <MK`> maum: That page just told you it is, and that you have the current version.
[06:23] <maum> MK`: every flash site is not working
[06:23] <MK`> maum: I am not a flash expert, that's as far as I can take you.
[06:23] <Dogears> ilon_: omitting directory /home/user - what does this mean?
[06:23] <kenro> MK`: Ah So...you possess hidden wisdom, grasshopper, Now... to put it all back together...
[06:24] <maum> MK`: sorry it says [you have version 10.1.999.0 installed]
[06:24] <ilon_> Dogears: cp -r makes it copy subdirectories aswell, might be what you want. :)
[06:24] <Dogears> thanks
[06:25] <ilon_> Dogears: no problem
[06:26]  * dr_willis wonders what is the latest flash version
[06:26] <harsh343> how to make user root in ubuntu??
[06:26] <bazhang> harsh343, use sudo
[06:26] <dr_willis> harsh343:  use sudo ,as needed. you dont normally login directly as root
[06:26] <ilon_> harsh343: you do not want your user to be root, use sudo
[06:26] <joebodo> !sudo
[06:27] <kija987> mentok: the output file im getting is in unreadable format
[06:27] <Dogears> ilon_: cannot create directory /media/usbdev read only file system - Ideas?
[06:28] <harsh343> I know that but right now i am facing some issues like sudo: /etc/sudoers.d/README is mode 0755, should be 0440 so what i can do ?
[06:28] <samster34> in the ubuntu installers partitioning menu, how do I mark a partition for swap usage?
[06:28] <mentok> ew so it is.
[06:28] <ilon_> Dogears: mount the USB with privileges to write to it as user, or try to do the copy as rot / with sudo
[06:29] <sacarlson> Dogears: live cd or wubi install by any chance?
[06:29] <ilon_> is this channel allways this busy in the mornings / this time?
[06:29] <Dogears> ilon_ : I tried sudo but it is the same. How do I mount with privilages?
[06:29] <dr_willis> ilon_:  not really
[06:29] <ilon_> Dogears: what is the filesystem on the usb?
[06:30] <ilon_> dr_willis: seems alot more active than normally..
[06:30] <Dogears> sacarlson: No Someone did an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 and broke the thing!
[06:30] <harsh343> Help me http://pastebin.com/wvj39XBB
[06:30] <mentok> kija987: try this:
[06:31] <mentok> top -b > top.txt
[06:31] <samster34> anyone? how do I tell the installer what partition to use for swap
[06:31] <ilon_> samster34: advanced partitioning
[06:32] <dr_willis> i just click a few things and tell it to use it as swap i recall... not too hard
[06:32] <Dogears> ilon_: msdos 4gb usb stick - Does that mean it is fat16?
[06:32] <ilon_> samster34: the select the partition, change to "use" and select swap
[06:32] <samster34> ah, I was looking for a swap option in the moint point list
[06:33] <dr_willis> filesystem type = swap
[06:33] <kenro>     Hey MK` any advice on what order to reconnect this thing?
[06:33] <kija987> mentok: thanks a lot! it works :)
[06:33] <mentok> :) gladly
[06:33] <ilon_> Dogears: fat16 or fat32 i guess. are you using cli och x?
[06:33] <samster34> dr_willis: thanks
[06:34] <ilon_> Dogears: terminal i would guess, just double checking
[06:34] <Dogears> ilon_: Using the terminal
[06:35] <maum> I downloaded  Adobe Flash player 11 tarball ( .tar.gz )  and sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/. but flash website still not woking
[06:35] <sacarlson> Dogears: maybe with the command sudo mount ; you can find a mount point that is set to rw (read write)  maybe like in /home/yourusername ; should be in a writeable location
[06:35] <ilon_> Dogears: how do you mount the usb?
[06:35] <maum> and the version is still 10
[06:35] <maum> how can I fix this?
[06:36] <Dogears> ilon_: I didn't?
[06:36] <ilon_> Dogears: sudo bash & mkdir /mnt/usb & mount /dev/yourusb /mnt/usb
[06:37] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[06:37] <ilon_> oh, those netsplit still happens..
[06:37] <ilon_> neat
[06:37] <dr_willis> such is life on irc.
[06:37] <ilon_> dr_willis: so they say
[06:38] <Dogears> Is this like an eclipse?
[06:38] <ilon_> Dogears: this is the end of the internet.
[06:38] <Dogears> ilon: Do I type all of that ?
[06:39] <Dogears> I thought the internet was in a small box?
[06:39] <ilon_> Dogears: yes, but in the last command, replace 'yourusb/ with the actual device, like sdb1 or so
[06:39] <dr_willis> its lots of pipes full of cats...
[06:39] <dr_willis> bbl
[06:40] <Dogears> ilon_: How do I find what the actual devise is called?
[06:41] <ilon_> unplug it, type tail -f /var/log/messages, reinsert it and look for it
[06:41] <ilon_> Dogears: dunplug it, type tail -f /var/log/messages, reinsert it and look for it
[06:42] <ilon_> Dogears: but now i arrived at work, cant help you more. sorry.

[06:48] <samster34> dr_willis: well, okay there was no xorg.conf file on ubuntu in the first place...anyway I tried to move the install to the other computer and start it in text mode.
[06:48] <samster34> it even says I got to the built-in shell

[06:48] <samster34> or do anything
[06:48] <samster34> there is no prompt, and no flashing cursor either
     Hey MK` any advice on what order to reconnect this thing?
[06:49] <MK`> order?
[06:49] <Boffy> hello! i have a question. i used kdesudo to run dolphin, so i could set give right of new hard disk used for data to user. i've also marked it for sharing (wioth samba). hwoever later i realised i do not want to share the whole disk over network but only a folder that user would share. i marked it unshared, however dolphin is ignoring me
[06:49] <Boffy> after i click ok and check the propperties of disk again it is still shared just like before.
[06:49] <Boffy> any ideas how to "unshare" the whole disk?
[06:51] <sirdork> hey how do I set it up so I can connect to my Machine remotely ?
[06:52] <aarcane> sirdork, aptitude install openssh-server or ssh-server.  I forget which.  then forward port 22 from your router to your server.
[06:53] <hoshi411_> anyone here familiar with the raspberri pi?
[06:53] <hoshi411_> im concerned with what it ships with as a power adapter ?
[06:53] <sirdork> is it self explanatory?
[06:56] <waxstone> !ot | hoshi411
[06:57] <hoshi411_> ah ok . sorry about that : )
[06:57] <aarcane> sirdork, if you're even remotely familiar with networking, then it should be.  If you need more instructions, it's very easily googlable.
[06:58] <samster34> so, it seems I can't successfully run or install any kind of linux on this computer, while windows works fine.
[07:00] <kenro> Does anyone have any advice on what order to reconnect my spacebar?
[07:00] <samster34> ??
[07:01] <lipsinV2> #join #chromium
[07:01] <kenro> samster34: I had similar trouble re-installing a pirated win7...
[07:02] <samster34> well, I guess since linux tries very hard not to run, I'll just have to use windows
[07:02] <waxstone> samster34, is it windows 8 beta?
[07:02] <samster34> ?
[07:03] <samster34> there is no windows currently on the computer
[07:03] <samster34> but it ran win7 for months before
[07:03] <waxstone> oh ok, Ive heard win8 prevents install of other OS's
[07:04] <samster34> I've tried ubuntu 12, 10, mint, fedora, debian...
[07:04] <Rourick> 11.10 is latest? correct
[07:05] <samster34> mint I could actually get to launch in text mode, and start X from there, then proceed to install it, but the installed one wont even launch into text mode...
[07:05] <waxstone> Rourick, yes. 12.04 is in beta to be released end on april
[07:06] <samster34> it's a little frustrating, seeing how all the versions I've tried work flawlessly on my main computer
[07:06] <Rourick> waxstone thanks wasn't sure
[07:06] <waxstone> samster34,  for text mode press E in grub menu when you highlight recoverymode. then replace recovery with text in kernal line
[07:07] <root________> samster34, what can you tell us about the specs?  Have you some older distros?  old slack, puppy, or even an archaic debian or ubuntu ?
[07:07] <Syria> Hello , Can I upgrade using the Alternative installation CD?
[07:07] <kenro> Thanks To MK my sticky spacebar is fixed. Of course, that's because I HAVE no spacebar,...
[07:08] <samster34> it's a prebuilt system, Q8300, geforce 9800 GT, nforce 2 chipset
[07:08] <Fyodorovna> Syria, yes.
[07:08] <samster34> the oldest I've tried was ubuntu 10.04
[07:08] <waxstone> have you tried 11.10?
[07:09] <Syria> Fyodorovna: Thank you.
[07:09] <MK`> kenro just put the bars back in pace and snap them into the spacebar in the right place
[07:09] <root________> samster34, Hmm.  it should just work.  try editing the command line and removing quiet splash and see if it hangs up on any particular step to isolate the problem.
[07:09] <samster34> waxstone: actually, no
[07:09] <Rourick> is Xubuntu supported tell april 2013?
[07:09] <Jibgilmon> hey guys, im looking for some help really quickly, i think someone here has a solution :)
[07:09] <waxstone> samster34, thats the latest stable release
[07:10] <samster34> all the versions I've tried were 64 bit
[07:10] <kenro> MK`: And what about the little white sping things?
[07:10] <MK`> Just put it back in place..
[07:11] <Jibgilmon> I'm having issues with wireshark in 11.10, so I'm creating a usergroup. However, when i try to add my account with usermod, it says my user does not exist, anyone know why this might be?
[07:11] <root________> samster34, I'm thinking either one small piece of bad hardware, or an incompatible setting somewhere that windows either doesn't trip (hardware) or isn't incompatible with (setting)
[07:11] <root________> Jibgilmon, don't ask to ask, just ask.
[07:11] <root________> samster34, tried a 32 bit version?
[07:11] <samster34> so far, no
[07:11] <Jibgilmon> asked^^ :P
[07:11] <root________> Jibgilmon, are you using anything other than the standard unix files for your user accounts?
[07:11] <root________> Jibgilmon, also, don't forget to use sudo
[07:11] <ibiwor> Hello! Is there any not-taking package like xournal/zim which also integrates an electronics circuit design tool?
[07:12] <ibiwor> note-taking*
[07:12] <root________> samster34, could be 64 bit is disabled.  Make sure it's enabled and try a 32 bit OS.
[07:12] <Jibgilmon> i am using sudo, and i dont believe so, unless an ubunu studios installation would have done so
[07:12] <glebihan> Jibgilmon, what's the exact command you've been using ?
[07:12] <samster34> win7 x64 was running on it before, but I'll try 11.10 32bit
[07:12] <Jibgilmon> "sudo usermod -a -G wireshark Jibgilmon"
[07:13] <root________> Jibgilmon, try "sudo gpasswd -a Jibgilmon wireshark"
[07:13] <Jibgilmon> the response is "usermod: user 'Jibgilmon' does not exist"
[07:13] <Jibgilmon> oj
[07:13] <Jibgilmon> ok*
[07:13] <root________> Jibgilmon, also, case matters.
[07:13] <glebihan> Jibgilmon, are you sure the case is correct ?
[07:14] <Jibgilmon> yessir, i tried both ways actually
[07:14] <kenro> MK`: They're not snapping in...
[07:14] <MK`> :( I do not know. Look up the model or ask ##hardware
[07:14] <glebihan> Jibgilmon, what's the output of "whoami" ?
[07:14] <Jibgilmon> that did not work either
[07:14] <root________> Jibgilmon, getent passwd and whoami
[07:15] <Jibgilmon> oh wow
[07:15] <Jibgilmon> i feel like an idio
[07:15] <Jibgilmon> idiot*
[07:15] <Jibgilmon> thank you xD
[07:15] <root________> embrace that feeling, then let it go, then tell us what went wrong
[07:15] <Jibgilmon> my account name is jibgilmon, my user name is gelmo
[07:15] <kenro> MK`: You know... Sometimes, I really hate civilized division of labor...
[07:15] <Jibgilmon> top right says jibgilmon, however in terminal i am gelmo@ubuntu
[07:16] <Jibgilmon> :P
[07:16] <Jibgilmon> im fairly new to linux
[07:16] <root________> Jibgilmon, glad it's working now.  :)
[07:16] <Jibgilmon> thank you for that, really appreciate it
[07:16] <Jibgilmon> :D
[07:16] <root________> and welcome to Linux :)
[07:16] <Jibgilmon> thanks!
[07:16] <root________> Jibgilmon, is this a desktop or a server?
[07:16] <Talisman`Work> morning
[07:17] <Jibgilmon> desktop
[07:17] <Jibgilmon> i originally installed to try out ubuntu studios, installed through wubi
[07:17] <Jibgilmon> and
[07:17] <root________> Jibgilmon, don't forget to set up a decent firewall, and be at least a little proactive about checking your syslog and authlog for unexpected things :)
[07:17] <Jibgilmon> i fell inlove with the packages
[07:18] <Jibgilmon> oh why? did i give away too much info?
[07:19] <Jibgilmon> also, where could i find those logs if i may ask?
[07:20] <ServerSage> Jibgilmon: The logs he referred to are in /var/log/
[07:21] <Kartagis> Jibgilmon: /var/logs
[07:21] <Kartagis> sorry, /var/log
[07:21] <Jibgilmon> thank you, looking now
[07:22] <root________> Jibgilmon, no, but we're all susceptible to attacks if we're on the internet.  Linux makes security easy.  You just gotta work with it :)
[07:23] <Jibgilmon> i understand the purpose of checking, but is it that probable for someone to get my password for root commands?
[07:23] <samster34> okay, starting ubuntu 11.10 32bit off the live disk in text mode now...
[07:23] <waxstone> root________, which firewall is good enoguh?
[07:23] <Jibgilmon> i second that question :P
[07:24] <root________> waxstone, they're all the same.  UFW is stock with ubuntu, but I'm fond of shorewall.  They all use iptables though, which is the best(only?) firewall available on linux.
[07:24] <Jibgilmon> great thanks
[07:24] <waxstone> root________, UFW is off by default?
[07:25] <root________> waxstone, I think so.  but all the docs mention it.
[07:25] <Jibgilmon> another question, how can i set a launcher shortcut to ask for root login on start?
[07:25] <waxstone> root________, thanks for the info , i guess i have some reading to do =)
[07:25] <samster34> root________: okay it seems stuck now. last line was "[TTM] Zone kernel: Avilable graphics memory: 431040 kiB."
[07:26] <root________> samster34, 32 or 64 bit this time, and what boot-time options?
[07:26] <samster34> 32
[07:26] <samster34> removed splash, added text
[07:27] <root________> any error or warnings in previous lines?
[07:27] <samster34> nope
[07:27] <samster34> listing the power levels of the gfx card
[07:27] <Jibgilmon> ufw is active and enabled *thumbs up*
[07:27] <root________> odd question, but are you using a cd/dvd or a flash drive?
[07:28] <samster34> fllash drive
[07:28] <waxstone> he is using usb
[07:28] <samster34> I did burn a 12.04 dvd earlier though and I don't even reach the boot enu with that
[07:28] <waxstone> Jibgilmon, did you turn it on or was it on by default?
[07:29] <Jibgilmon> i did sudo ufw enable
[07:29] <Jibgilmon> and it replied with firewall is active and enabled on start
[07:29] <Jibgilmon> im not sure if it meant it already was, or it would be in the future
[07:29] <waxstone> Jibgilmon, sweet thanks
[07:29] <Jibgilmon> regardless im happy, and you should run that command :P
[07:29] <root________> samster34, I'm sorry, but I'm out of ideas here.  Best I can suggest is to keep trying and watch the boot output for something useful.  there might be something in the acpi and apic settings but I don't remember them off the top of my head.
[07:30] <root________> samster34, and if you can't figure it out, try again when there are more people active.  they're generally pretty helpful.  Or the forums.
[07:30] <antonio_> does anyone know how to add an option so when I right click an mp3 I can convert it to an mp3?
[07:30] <samster34> hm.
[07:30] <samster34> I guess this is why I don't buy prebuilts
[07:31] <Corey> antonio_: ...wat?
[07:31] <Jibgilmon> im trying to make a program ask for root access on startup, how is this done? i'm currently at file in usr/bin
[07:31] <root________> samster34, I had the same problem with an old win 95 compaq computer.  never did figure it out.  settled for partial data recovery and junked it.
[07:31] <root________> g'night :)
[07:32] <danielcg25> Hi, I want to setup a proxy server at my home using an old computer that I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 on. How do I do this?
[07:32] <Jibgilmon> daniel
[07:32] <waxstone> Jibgilmon, on by default . i did "service ufw status" and got "ufw start/running"
[07:32] <Jibgilmon> start out with apache
[07:32] <danielcg25> Yes?
[07:33] <Jibgilmon> oh awesome wax
[07:33] <danielcg25> I installed apache2, is that what I need? (sudo apt-get install apache2)
[07:33] <danielcg25> I think that's the HTTP server, but I don't know if it does proxies too.
[07:33] <wooter> danielcg25: if you want a proxy for cache of data so internet loads faster, i believe the term is "squid proxy". so first thing id try is google your os and squid proxy
[07:33] <glebihan> waxstone, that actually doesn't mean the firewall is active
[07:33] <glebihan> waxstone, check with "sudo ufw status"
[07:34] <waxstone> oh!
[07:34] <Jibgilmon> daniel
[07:35] <danielcg25> I don't want it for cache, I want it so I can use websites that are blocked when I'm not home
[07:35] <Jibgilmon> im not sure, i nly have experience setting that up in windows
[07:35] <danielcg25> my brother is on a swimming team, and I get forced to tag along to his meets a lot. Most schools have Internet, but Steam is usually blocked.
[07:35] <root________> danielcg25, you can use either apache or squid, but you might be better off using a VPN.  it's more general purpose.
[07:35] <Jibgilmon> daniel http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies
[07:36] <danielcg25> How do I setup a VPN? Does it cost money?
[07:36] <wooter> vpn is free but trickey to setup
[07:36] <danielcg25> how tricky?
[07:37] <wooter> danielcg25: it depends on the school network setup, a vpn probably isnt even possible....only way possible might be something like a cgi web proxy
[07:37] <Jibgilmon> wooter thats what hes trying
[07:37] <danielcg25> (side note, is there a way to hide all these "someone [ip address] has joined/quit)"?
[07:37] <waxstone> Jibgilmon,Glebihan "status inactive"!!! thanks
[07:37] <samster34> !mint
[07:37] <Jibgilmon> he wants to set one up through apache on his cpomputer with his home network
[07:38] <danielcg25> I tried pinging my computer at home, it works at the school
[07:38] <danielcg25> So I figured a proxy would work
[07:38] <Jibgilmon> daniel i did it as well
[07:38] <Jibgilmon> but on windows
[07:38] <Jibgilmon> let me see if i can find that guide, it might help
[07:39] <glebihan> danielcg25, if you're using xchat, you can right-click the channel name, settings->hide join/part messages
[07:39] <wooter> if you can ping your home ip, good chance vpn would work
[07:40] <danielcg25> glebihan: I'm using Freenode's web chat, but I got it already. Didn't see the menu at first, haha.
[07:41] <Dogears> Hi!
[07:42] <Jibgilmon> is there any way to remove the log in messages on empathy?
[07:42] <Dogears> How can I copy the home directory from the hard drive to a usb drive using a live CD?
[07:42] <pedro> ghello
[07:43] <ServerSage> Jibgilmon: Probably best to ask on the empathy IRC channel.
[07:43] <Jibgilmon> yup :P
[07:43] <auronandace> Dogears: just the contents or the whole partition?
[07:44] <danielcg25> I can get on some websites, (reddit, wikipedia, etc) but Steam, Facebook, and bittorrent are blocked.
[07:44] <danielcg25> (torrents have legit uses, but apparently the school doesn't realize that...)
[07:45] <bluefrog> Jibgilmon, uncheck "log conversations"
[07:45] <Jibgilmon> bluefrog i literally just found that and was about to say that!
[07:45] <sw0rdfish> !kernel
[07:45] <Jibgilmon> haha thank you tho!
[07:47] <Dogears> auronandace: I have a problem with an upgrade and need to copy the home directory to a USB hard drive so I can rebuild the hard drive.
[07:47] <bluefrog> Dogears, basically the same way you would using a "normal" boot
[07:47] <auronandace> Dogears: just the contents or the whole partition?
[07:48] <Dogears> auronandace: just the original /home directory
[07:48] <bluefrog> Dogears, can you still boot using your normal system?
[07:48] <auronandace> Dogears: please answer my question
[07:48] <auronandace> Dogears: is it a seperate partition
[07:49] <Dogears> auronandace: No it is a single partition just the files.
[07:49] <auronandace> Dogears: then just copy them as you would any file
[07:49] <Jibgilmon> danielcg25
[07:49] <Jibgilmon> http://ninoholic.com/instant-apache-proxy-setup.html
[07:49] <Jibgilmon> :)
[07:49] <Dogears> bluefrog: Yes I can boot but only to the terminal
[07:50] <gmclean> for some reason network-manager won't save my wpa password. this is a fresh install of oneric. it just keeps adding "Auto Router" "Auto Router 1" "Auto Router 2" etc. every time i reboot. any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
[07:50] <bluefrog> Dogears, good
[07:51] <gvo> Dogears: boot to the terminal, manually mount the usb drive and copy the files.
[07:51] <danielcg25> Jibgilmon: Did you find the guide?
[07:51] <Jibgilmon> yes daniel
[07:51] <Jibgilmon> http://ninoholic.com/instant-apache-proxy-setup.html
[07:51] <gvo> Dogears: assuming the usb drive doesn't automatically mount.
[07:51] <Dogears> bluefrog: I have tried from the terminal but I can't write to the USB?
[07:51] <gvo> Dogears: what error msg?
[07:52] <bluefrog> Dogears, use sudo before the command
[07:52] <Dogears> bluefrog: yes did that
[07:52] <Jibgilmon> obviously you will have to get an equivalent for the windows programs danielcg25
[07:53] <Talisman`Work> Has anyone had any troubles connecting to the net using an Acer Laptop with a built-in 3G module (Model F3307)?  Specifically on the South African Vodacom network?
[07:53] <Dogears> I will reboot without the live CD and get the message
[07:53] <bluefrog> Dogears, no
[07:53] <bluefrog> wait
[07:53] <Jibgilmon> does anyone know how to add sudo to a shortcut?
[07:53] <alex_under> hello
[07:54] <bluefrog> Dogears, do you have windows and linux on the same computer?
[07:54] <samster34> Jibgilmon: ? add sudo before the command the shortcut executes?
[07:54] <alex_under> can someone tell me how to create multiple files (I have part of the names in a text) ?
[07:54] <Jibgilmon> samster34, i think a better querstion for me to ask, is where the shortcuts are located :P
[07:55] <samster34> I dunno, if you can see it, my guess would be right there :p
[07:55] <gvo> alex_under we need a bit more information
[07:55] <alex_under> I mean I want something like aaa_%string1 from file %.rtf, aaa_%string2 from file%.rtf
[07:55] <Jibgilmon> yesyes, but i meant im not sure where that folder is
[07:55] <Jibgilmon> the folder for the nity launchbar
[07:55] <Jibgilmon> unity*
[07:55] <samster34> no idea
[07:55] <samster34> can't edit shortcuts right there?
[07:55] <Jibgilmon> if i find it i'll let you know
[07:55] <Jibgilmon> and no i cannot
[07:56] <samster34> (haven't really used unity for more than a few seconds)
[07:56] <alex_under> Every string has it's own line
[07:56] <Jibgilmon> ya i dont use it either
[07:56] <Jibgilmon> my rig at school has gnome3
[07:56] <Dogears> bluefrog: No. Ubuntu 10.10 but was upgrading to 11.04.
[07:56] <Jibgilmon> however im at home for break
[07:56] <samster34> and since my computer doesnt let me install any kind of linux, I guess I never will use unity :)
[07:56] <Jibgilmon> and too lazy to configure it, so im stuck with unity
[07:56] <alex_under> gvo: I need to create 4 files for each string
[07:56] <Jibgilmon> oh why not?
[07:57] <samster34> no linux, no unity
[07:57] <Jibgilmon> nono i mean why no linux?
[07:57] <Jibgilmon> and why are you here?
[07:57] <Jibgilmon> LOL
[07:57] <samster34> that's what I've been trying to figure out for hours
[07:57] <bluefrog> Dogears, so right now the computer is running under? live? recovery?
[07:57] <Jibgilmon> so whats the issue you're having?
