[00:00] <westz> potataoes_never_, offtopic: opera? what the hell?
[00:00] <i2iot> I'm having  trouble finding my Ubuntu PC on my Windows PC Network listing
[00:00] <potataoes_never_> westz: I'm used to it, what's wrong?
[00:00] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  I am coming up with nothing,, for this,, I will keep thinking and searching,,, maybe someon can jump in in the mean time
[00:00] <i2iot> I have used "File Sharing" and "Personal File Sharing" to no avail
[00:00] <i2iot> they both seem to be configured
[00:01] <guitar> got a question...any takers
[00:01] <westz> potataoes_never_, its just.... opera? nobody likes opera. it's the m. night shyamalan of browsers
[00:02] <westz> guitar: ASK FIRST
[00:02] <coz_> potataoes_never_,   you dont want any browser?
[00:02] <potataoes_never_> westz: how so?
[00:02] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  or just chromium?
[00:02] <qin> westz: Opera is best, and I like it!
[00:02] <guitar> first, i've tried to change my nic name from guitar to dave (actual guitar dave)
[00:02] <westz> potataoes_never_, does it even support third party addons?
[00:02] <guitar> with no luck
[00:02] <guitar> sup wes
[00:02] <iniesta6>  i got a warning :
[00:02] <westz> just register with the name you want, it's not hard
[00:03] <potataoes_never_> westz: I have no idea, I've never had to use something where I needed a 3rd party addon though.
[00:03] <iniesta6> no support for locale : HE_IL.utf8
[00:03] <potataoes_never_> coz_: I just don't want Firefox/Epiphany/Chromium right now.
[00:03] <westz> potataoes_never_, you're missing out on adblock
[00:03] <potataoes_never_> westz: Opera has that inbuilt.
[00:03] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  sudo apt-get install aptitude,, then in the terminal try   aptitude --simulate remove ephiphany
[00:03] <iniesta6> i assume its connected somehow to the fact that i see my langauge opposite in terminal ?^_^
[00:03] <potataoes_never_> westz: shift+click on the thing you'd likek to block out
[00:03] <westz> potataoes_never_, tab mix? imtranslator? downloadhelper?
[00:04] <wildbat> westz: that's pointless ~ stop arguing. everyone use whatever he like , !ot too
[00:04] <monitorismessedu> ActionParsnip: ubottu: how do I change the boot options for 11.04 when it's install and I can't see the screen. I am having a problem understanding exactly how to use the options on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Permanently%20On%20An%20Existing%20Installation
[00:04] <JulienM> Hello
[00:04] <potataoes_never_> westz: I bet it has those options - I don't quite know what those addons do just by the name
[00:04] <potataoes_never_> coz_: sounds good, let me try it out.
[00:04] <westz> potataoes_never_, i dont have to actively block stuff, i have a filter subscription
[00:04] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  when that reports out  pastebin the readout
[00:04] <potataoes_never_> coz_: pastebin?
[00:05] <edbian> paste.ubuntu.com
[00:05] <coz_> ^^^^
[00:05] <westz> potataoes_never_, anyway, i just mean the big browsers are firefox and chrome. opera and safari are practically non-entities, so it's weird
[00:05] <iniesta6> how i available support for he_il utf8?
[00:05] <JulienM> I would like know printing cups files to configure color or greyscale default mode
[00:06] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  on that ubuntu paste link  copy the e ntire content of the readout from the terminal and paste it in the large blank area on paste.ubuntu.com,,, add your name at the top,, click the paste button then  paste the link in the address bar here
[00:06] <potataoes_never_> westz: Opera has a pretty small package compared to FF or Chromium, and honestly, fuck Google.
[00:06] <guitar> edbian...sup?
[00:06] <IdleOne> !language | potataoes_never_
[00:06] <edbian> guitar: hello
[00:06] <potataoes_never_> coz_: yeah. Doing it now.
[00:06] <potataoes_never_> IdleOne: hahaha, sorry!
[00:07] <edbian> potataoes_never_: opera?  Never heard of it.
[00:07] <westz> potataoes_never_, i havent seen google hasn't done anything to warrant a F*ck you yet, so i'm neutral on it, but i dont use chrome
[00:07] <coz_> westz,  use chromium
[00:07] <i2iot> im having trouble with java with firefox and chrome
[00:08] <guitar> edbian: I tried to do an install and it said that I needed "MSXML version 6.10.1129.0"...where would i find that
[00:08] <i2iot> can someone check http://www.nescafeplay.com/main/
[00:08] <monitorismessedu>  ActionParsnip: ubottu: still reading and I am not getting it.
[00:08] <i2iot> and see if it displays for you?
[00:08] <westz> when chromium has something/does something my firefox doesnt, ill switch
[00:08] <edbian> guitar: Is it a package?  What are you installing?  What caused the error?
[00:09]  * edbian loves firefox
[00:09] <guitar> i copied my office 10 to a folder, changed the exe permission, and then tried to run it with WIne
[00:09] <guitar> no dice
[00:09] <edbian> guitar: office 2010 (MS office?)
[00:09] <guitar> yes
[00:09] <westz> did you look at winehq?
[00:09] <guitar> wes...i tried to find it
[00:10] <edbian> guitar: You should look at this: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22248
[00:10] <coz_> guitar,  I believe you have to actually install ms office via wine
[00:10] <guitar> i am brand new to being on line
[00:10] <potataoes_never_> coz_: silly question, how do I copy from terminal?
[00:10] <edbian> guitar: Welcome to the end of the 20th century
[00:10] <guitar> coz...i am tring
[00:10] <guitar> HA!
[00:10] <westz> potataoes_never_, shift+ctrl+c
[00:10] <edbian> potataoes_never_: ctrl + shift + c
[00:10] <guitar> you have no idea
[00:10] <qin> potataoes_never_: gnome-terminal? shift-ctlr-c
[00:10] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  highlight all that you need to copy,, either right click "copy" or  simply middle click at pastebin
[00:11] <edbian> potataoes_never_: or right click
[00:11] <potataoes_never_> ahh, sweet, thanks guys.
[00:11] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  highlight then middle click or  shift+ctrl+c
[00:11] <guitar> edbian...i'm going to try that link
[00:11] <guitar> brb
[00:11] <westz> guitar, you 32 or 64 bit?
[00:11] <monitorismessedu> ActionParsnip: ubottu: Is the a way the change to nouveau.blacklist=1 for the installed 11.04 while I'm using the 10.04 virtually?
[00:11] <edbian> guitar: It's a good one to try
[00:11] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  the highlight then middle to where you want to paste is systemic on linux
[00:11] <guitar> 32
[00:12] <qin> potataoes_never_: Also: command | pastebinit
[00:12] <potataoes_never_> coz_, westz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/637167/
[00:12] <potataoes_never_> It seems that it simulates it just fine....
[00:12] <guitar> brb
[00:12] <potataoes_never_> I'll show you what I get when I actually run it with apt-get
[00:12] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  wait
[00:12] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  that pastebin was for installin aptitude ...yes?
[00:12] <prower> hello again :> i used to use java-package to create my .deb packages of the sun java jdk, it was the easiest way to keep it up to date...however, it seems java-package hasn't been in ubuntu since hardy :/ has it been superseded by another program? the jdk in the "partners" packages is out of date and has security vulnerabilities
[00:13] <pretender> DeVeDe is converting to divx 4:3 even though 16:9 is used in the source and selected in DeveDe i'm using ubuntu 10.10
[00:13] <wildbat> guitar:  try install with playonlinux see if their script works
[00:13] <potataoes_never_> coz_: no, it was for the simulated removal of epiphany
[00:13] <potataoes_never_> oh
[00:13] <potataoes_never_> wait
[00:13] <potataoes_never_> I made a mistake, just a minute.
[00:13] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  ah I see hold on
[00:13] <monitorismessedu> i wish there was an easy way to fix my computer so I can use my monitor.
[00:14] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  ok if you choose  "n" it should bring up more options
[00:14] <kiichiro> hey was there an xubuntu firewall update?
[00:14] <guitar> wildbat...thanks
[00:14] <qin> monitorismessedu: Do you see grub menu (when hold <Shift> at boot)?
[00:14] <Oer> prower on hardy ?
[00:15] <potataoes_never_> coz_: okay, so here's the simulated run http://paste.ubuntu.com/637169/
[00:15] <kiichiro> guys how do I check the xubuntu pre built in firewall? game server is down due to an update with it
[00:15] <potataoes_never_> coz_: and here's the actual apt-get run http://paste.ubuntu.com/637169/
[00:15] <potataoes_never_> ahh
[00:15] <potataoes_never_> wait
[00:15] <monitorismessedu> qin: haven't done that yet.
[00:15] <iniesta6> anyone can help me with this error: Warning: No support for locale: he_IL.utf8
[00:15] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  right now hit  "n"  and it should bring up more options
[00:15] <potataoes_never_> coz_: here's the actual apt-get run: http://paste.ubuntu.com/637168/
[00:15] <qin> kiichiro: sudo iptables -L
[00:15] <guitar> edbian...i went to the site, and i really don't understand
[00:15] <prower> Oer: Oh no, I'm using 11.04 :> and the sun java packages for that, provided by partners, are vulnerable...so i'd like to install the jdk myself, but i'm having trouble figuring out how to go about it
[00:15] <potataoes_never_> alright
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | monitorismessedu
[00:16] <guitar> i tried finding a manual last night
[00:16] <edbian> guitar: That site details how well word 2010 works on wine.  Did you see the top there?  You can't write anything
[00:16] <potataoes_never_> coz_: hitting "n" just aborts it - am I misunderstanding you?
[00:16] <KM0201> guitar: manual for what?
[00:16] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  on the simulate if you choose  "n" it will bring up more options
[00:16] <guitar> oh
[00:16] <potataoes_never_> coz_: alright, hold up
[00:16] <guitar> KM...an idiots manual for using ubuntu
[00:17] <KM0201> guitar: i told you yesterday
[00:17] <KM0201> !manual | guitar download the .pdf
[00:17] <edbian> guitar: Why do you wanna run word 2010 anyway?
[00:17] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  the options should be numberd,, and using one of the numbered options ,, but this is just a simulation at this point
[00:17] <KM0201> edbian: some folks just can't break the clutches of M$ for some reason
[00:17] <coz_> potataoes_never_, dont choose a numbered option unless you want that to run
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> guitar: check the wine appdb
[00:18] <potataoes_never_> coz_: so this is what happens when I hit n in the simulated run http://paste.ubuntu.com/637171/
[00:18] <edbian> KM0201: :)
[00:18] <potataoes_never_> coz_: So I'm definitely misunderstanding you
[00:18] <kiichiro> qin, I did that now what
[00:18] <guitar> km...i tried to find it, let me try again brb
[00:18] <coz_> potataoes_never_, right,, at that point  you have   [Y/n/?] ..yes?
[00:18] <Oer> prower, this wiki any help ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#SDK (Software Development Kit)
[00:18] <sender1> acicula BluesKaj: I did what you suggested and after rebooting got stuck at the ubuntu screen with the dots underneath... nothing happened for 10 minutes :|
[00:18] <potataoes_never_> coz_: yes
[00:18] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  choose  "n"
[00:19] <qin> kiichiro: Do you see any rules preventing server from communication?
[00:19] <KM0201> guitar: there's a huge "Download Now" button
[00:19] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  then it should read out numbered options for the removal
[00:19] <potataoes_never_> coz_: "Abort."
[00:19] <coz_> ??
[00:19] <sender1> BluesKaj: any ideas?
[00:19] <qin> kiichiro: Is it minecraft or hlds?
[00:19] <kiichiro> all are set to accept, minecraft...
[00:19] <potataoes_never_> coz_: check this pastebin where I hit n http://paste.ubuntu.com/637171/
[00:19] <kiichiro> I had it running last night, updated xubuntu and now it's down
[00:19] <monitorismessedu> ActionParsnip: ubottu: what? I am not figuring out what to do.
[00:19] <qin> kiichiro: Java?
[00:19] <coz_> potataoes_never_, that's not right
[00:20] <guitar> hey km0201...let me try to paste that link in my browser...brb
[00:20] <kiichiro> say everything starts up just fine, but no one can connect
[00:20] <prower> Oer: I've gone over it but I'll take a look again, thanks :> the problem seems to be that the program they reference for creating your own packages, make-jpkg and java-package, no longer exist
[00:20] <potataoes_never_> coz_, hmm, thought so, I know I'm not understanding something here...
[00:20] <KM0201> guitar: ..lol, hang on just a second, i'm renewing my license plates.. then i'll help you if you need it
[00:20] <kiichiro> says connection refused: Connect
[00:20] <sender1> BluesKaj: I've installed NVIDIA latest again and now I can boot. Performance is still bad
[00:20] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  however  in that list from the --simulate i dont see any packages it wants to install
[00:20] <qin> kiichiro: Start server and: sudo netstat -tulp
[00:20] <koppe> Where can I find the 'beagle' package (desktop search-engine / indexer), a fork (what name?) and/or any good alternatives?  (I see the project's site is closed)
[00:20] <monitorismessedu> I will try holding shift at boot to get to grub. if there is an easy way to fix my monitor problem you can let me know when I come back.
[00:21] <qin> kiichiro: Paste lines for minecraft
[00:21] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  so ,, apparetly aptitude is not wanting to install firefox
[00:21] <potataoes_never_> coz_, that is true, but look at this non-simulated run: http://paste.ubuntu.com/637168/
[00:21] <coz_> potataoes_never_, is firefox still installed?
[00:21] <potataoes_never_> coz_: no, Firefox is not installed right now.
[00:21] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  arg
[00:22] <guitar> i'm back....i got it km
[00:22] <kiichiro> found something running on the same port as my server
[00:22] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  ok I am officially puzzled then
[00:22] <potataoes_never_> coz_: darn.
[00:22] <qin> kiichiro: You can kill it by pid, or use telnet or netcat to investigate
[00:23] <potataoes_never_> coz_: can I go back to Windows 7 now?
[00:23] <chrome_> I installed oneiric by mistake. How can I remove it? or reinstall the 11.04?
[00:23] <nessy94> how do i get to asker channel
[00:23] <kiichiro> why kill it if it's not working, like no one can connect, server is up just fine
[00:23] <potataoes_never_> coz_: I can't believe I actually said that hahahaha
[00:23] <potataoes_never_> coz_: but I feel so comfortable in Win7, darnit.
[00:23] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  must be  something like ephiphany  or firefox have virtual packages with dependencies from one browser to the next,, I am only guessing there
[00:23] <KM0201> guitar: ok.. what IRC client are you using?
[00:24] <nessy94> x gnome
[00:24] <potataoes_never_> coz_: isn't that a terrible way to design dependances then?
[00:24] <qin> kiichiro: You just said what something else is running on minecraft port, is it java?
[00:24] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  of you do, windows is what you have been using,, it will take time,, but believe me ,, at some point windows will seem 'nearly"  useless
[00:24] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  considering the kind of control over linux you can eventually acheive
[00:24] <potataoes_never_> coz_: I'm thinking about reinstalling Ubuntu with the minimal cd
[00:24] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  excelent idea
[00:24] <kiichiro> I believe it's just the server, only one thing is running on the server and yes it's java
[00:25] <coz_> excellent
[00:25] <westz> i got a friend at mcdonalds :D gave me a giant ice cream cone
[00:25] <potataoes_never_> coz_: I really don't want any of this other crap that comes along with the standard install
[00:25] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  well the minimal is not what you might be thinking
[00:25] <qin> kiichiro: So it is minecraft, ip section? *:port or what?
[00:25] <KM0201> potataoes_never_: it works pretty well.. as long as you got decent bandwidth... it's also easy to install server edition, then stick a GUI on top of it.
[00:25] <kiichiro> [::]:25565
[00:26] <kiichiro> that is what it says, unaltered
[00:26] <Ether_Man> coz_, the level of control, is quite often counterproductive however. While that may give US an edge, it's also what's keeping it away from the desktop market sadly
[00:26] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  it is a 19 meg iso,, it allows the system to be installed via the net,, at one point,, you will get a list of things to install,, aka   Ubuntu desktop,, Kubuntu desktop,,etc     the arrows scroll and the "Space" bar will tick a box
[00:26] <potataoes_never_> KM0201: that might be a little out of my capabilities.
[00:26] <qin> kiichiro: ip6?
[00:26] <KM0201> potataoes_never_: it's honestly no more difficult than sticking a GUI on top of the mini ISO.
[00:26] <kiichiro> tcp6
[00:26] <potataoes_never_> KM0201: hmm.
[00:26] <potataoes_never_> coz_: Oh?!
[00:26] <potataoes_never_> coz_: well in a way that's good right/
[00:27] <coz_> Ether_Man,  that may be part of the reason,, however , I have installed ubuntu on many many home systems.. not a single person knows anything about computers and still not a single one wants windows back
[00:27] <westz> seriously, it was 3 times the size of a normal cone and she told me not to let the manager see :D
[00:27] <qin> kiichiro: And what ip you using to connect to server 4 or 6 ?
[00:27] <kiichiro> ipv4
[00:27] <qin> kiichiro: It do not listen on tcp4
[00:27] <coz_> potataoes_never_, it is very good,, the system is up to date on the first boot
[00:27] <kiichiro> except using no-ip to use the dns, I have tried connecting directly to the IP
[00:27] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  however,, if you choose Ubuntu Desktop  it will still have the same installed applications
[00:27] <potataoes_never_> sigh
[00:28] <potataoes_never_> coz_: I don't know what to do right now then.
[00:28] <hearnoseeno> anyone familiar with installing vmware on ubuntu
[00:28] <hearnoseeno> *vmware workstation
[00:28] <coz_> potataoes_never_,   ok  ,, take your time,, I think that's enough frustration for one day :)
[00:28] <kiichiro> what do you mean qin
[00:28] <Ether_Man> coz_, I doubt that..  But even if we assume that's true, that's still only empirical and plenty enough anyway, will still go back to windows if they just could..  Some of the ones I've done that for as an example had to first pay me to install it for them, and in the end, paying me to "make their comp usable again"
[00:28] <potataoes_never_> coz_: ahh...I'm not satisfied.
[00:29] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, FYI from mini if you install the gnome-desktop-environment package you'll get Gnome without Ubuntu stuff (also FYI don't try the gnome package, it won't work)
[00:29] <coz_> Ether_Man,  I have not experienced that with anyone :)
[00:29] <chrome_> I installed oneiric by mistake. How can I remove it? or reinstall the 11.04?
[00:29] <coz_> potataoes_never_,  well  neither am I ,, this is a bit puzzling about the removal / install issue
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> chrome_: you will need to reinstall
[00:29] <chrome_> ActionParsnip: how?
[00:29] <qin> kiichiro: What client with ip4 setting will not see server, client with ip6 will connect with no problem, Propably you need to recheck server config, and just disable ip6.
[00:29] <potataoes_never_> Ether_man, ZykotickK9, do you have any ideas for my problem: basically what is happening is that removing firefox forces an epiphany install, and vice versa
[00:30] <Ether_Man> coz_, does everyone you've done it for have a semi personal relationship perhaps?
[00:30] <coz_> Ether_Man,  I have also dual booted for many of these clients,,not one goes back to windows
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> chrome_: download natty, md5 test it, burn it and install
[00:30] <kiichiro> how does one do that?
[00:30] <coz_> Ether_Man,  no these are are paying clients
[00:30] <ZykoticK9> !tab > potataoes_never_
[00:30] <qin> kiichiro: One sec...
[00:30] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, could you pastebin "apt-cache rdepends firefox"
[00:31] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: WOW TAB POWER?!!!
[00:31] <Ether_Man> coz_, right. Because that type is rarely going to be contacting you again if they felt you installed "a bad OS" for them after all :)
[00:31] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: okay, hold on a sec
[00:31] <chrome_> ´/exit
[00:31] <coz_> Ether_Man,   this is offtopic and we can continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic if you like... yes?
[00:31] <qin> kiichiro: Check this: http://getsatisfaction.com/mojang/topics/server_only_listens_on_ipv6_if_not_given_an_explicit_address
[00:32] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/637179/
[00:32] <Ether_Man> coz_, nah. Gotta get back to trying to get this damn scalix running on 64bit install...   sigh >_<
[00:33] <coz_> Ether_Man,  understood,, anytime you want to discuss it let me know,, however same people call me not to complain but how to do something  generally  simple user mistakes
[00:35] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: any ideas?
[00:35] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, SORRY WAS AFK - empathy is not in that list?  but isn't firefox in ubuntu-desktop metapackage (I wouldn't bother trying to remove anything in that package)?
[00:36] <caffine> i plug in an older USB device (pretty old digicam) and i see this in dmesg: "usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3" but no device shows up. how do i mount this device? i don't see any other information in dmesg that tells me how to mount it.
[00:36] <Leopsx> boa noite.................
[00:36] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, if you don't want something in ubuntu-desktop I'd highly recommend mini - and building from there
[00:36] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: Did I say Empathy? I meant Epiphany...it might be in the metapackage, but what if I just don't want the stuff in the metapackage? I basically want as clean/light an install as possible
[00:36] <lcb> if anyone using xsane, does ver 0.998 have an icon on the left side representing a flatbed scanner (to switch between scanner types)?
[00:36] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: Ahhh...mini....
[00:37] <wildbat> potataoes_never_: ok you have to remove the gecko-mediaplayer to remove the browsers
[00:37] <potataoes_never_> wildbat: oh?
[00:38] <westz> freenode is basically all computer stuff right?
[00:38] <potataoes_never_> wildbat: I just checked with synaptic, I don'thave it installed
[00:38] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, sorry my misreading - ya with ubuntu-desktop you need some sort of web browser - thus the remove one, the other gets installed
[00:38] <lcb> in other words, how to change Scansource on xsane 0.998?
[00:39] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: but I do have one hahaha...Opera :?
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, actually it might be a Gnome requirement
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, Opera isn't free - that's not a real browser ;)
[00:39] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: hahahaha
[00:39] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: but Opera is free...
[00:39] <wildbat> potataoes_never_: i use dpkg to remove ~ eventually i have to remove that to remove all my broswer ;p
[00:39] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: I've never paid a scent for it.
[00:39] <liny_man> cent lol
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, Opera is certainly NOT free (as in freedom)
[00:40] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: cent*
[00:40] <westz> ZykoticK9, winrar
[00:40] <westz> ZykoticK9, *7zip
[00:40] <ZykoticK9> westz, winrar also not FAIF
[00:40] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: So Firefox is really better?
[00:40] <liny_man> yes
[00:40] <qin> no
[00:40] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: Can I get a minimal not bloat install of firefox?
[00:40] <westz> potataoes_never_, YES
[00:40] <yeats> !best
[00:40] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: Can I get a minimal no-bloat* install of firefox?
[00:41] <coz_> caffine,  mm is usb 3  support in the kernel ?? I am not sure
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, if freedom is an issue for you - then yes, it's better then opera
[00:41] <liny_man> google chrome / chromium is a small browser
[00:41] <muellisoft> coz_: linux is, again, the first operating system to support the newest USB standards
[00:41] <kiichiro> qin,  link did not help at all
[00:41] <westz> !ping
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, "no bloat" firefox?  what do you mean, i believe Ubuntu only adds one plugin don't they?
[00:42] <caffine> coz_: great question, but i don't think any of this hardware supports usb3 anyways. the camera is so old you can hardly even find stuff about it online anymore and i think the computer predates more formal definitions of usb3.
[00:42] <coz_> muellisoft   not surprised   just want sure when it was implimented  apparenltu  2.6.31
[00:42] <yeats> !midori | potataoes_never_
[00:42] <yeats> !info midori | potataoes_never_
[00:42] <coz_> caffine,  ah understood,, I have been there with old cameras
[00:43] <ubun_> can i get help with cheese... I tried #cheese but there is no one in that channel
[00:43] <westz> ubun_, whats the prob?
[00:43] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: Yeah, I suppose...hmm. Maybe I have to rethink this.
[00:43] <Muelli> ubun_: well, irc.gnome.org is probably the better server for that. But what's your problem anyway?
[00:43] <coz_> lcb,  let me check here
[00:43] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: but anyways, Ubuntu mini seems to be what I'd like...
[00:43] <westz> ubun_, if it smells bad, dont eat it
[00:43] <liny_man> lol
[00:43] <caffine> coz_: yeah. i just want to clean it off before i get rid of it. even the front facing camera in my phone is better than this old guy. :)  any ideas how i can get linux to say hello to it?
[00:43] <potataoes_never_> ZykoticK9: I basically want to only install something if I absolutely need it.
[00:44] <coz_> lcb,   sorry cant... I dont have the scanner attached .../sorry
[00:44] <ubun_> westz: i can see the camera and stream take photos but when i try to record i get like 1 frame per minute...
[00:44] <ubun_> lol
[00:44] <yeats> potataoes_never_: (I know this is ot, but) you might consider arch linux ;-)
[00:44] <westz> ubun_, same with me. its slow as flowing dog shit. you need a better graphics card
[00:44] <coz_> caffine,  I have tried with some old cameras and no luck , however,,, if no one here knows at this particular time,, you could chance asking in ##linux,, someone there may have a few ideas
[00:44] <lcb> coz_: tks :) there is no Scansource on mine and is giving me error because i need to change the feeder type
[00:44] <potataoes_never_> yeats: I've heard about it, but I'm not sure if I'm technically capable enough...
[00:45] <yeats> potataoes_never_: good documentation - might be worth trying in a VM first ;-)
[00:45] <westz> potataoes_never_, it's not actually that difficult, it's more time consuming than difficult
[00:45] <liny_man> ubun_, that usually happen with netbooks, it runs SLOW. there may be a lighter app that works better.
[00:45] <qin> kiichiro: Disable ip6 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136850 and start server with favour ip4
[00:45] <potataoes_never_> yeats: the reason why I'm getting into Ubuntu right now is because I'm finding I have to do a lot of Python work for school/work
[00:45] <caffine> coz_: great suggestion. i'll check that out if nothing pans out here. thanks!
[00:45] <ubun_> westz: liny_man: im on a pc. ididnt seem to do it to record onto facebook? ... hmmm.. i did get a 30foot usb. would that be an issue
[00:45] <chrome_> Anybody who uses the 11.04 can tell me if you have the file "libz.so"?
[00:46] <potataoes_never_> westz: darnit, I don't want it to be time-consuming :/
[00:46] <coz_> lcb,   try the #sane channel also
[00:46] <potataoes_never_> westz: Just want something minimal setup quick, sigh.
[00:46] <yeats> potataoes_never_: the lightest-weight you're going to get in the Ubuntu universe is Lubuntu
[00:46] <liny_man> ubun_, do you use the restricted drivers?
[00:46] <caffine> chrome_:  where should i look?
[00:46] <yeats> !lubuntu
[00:46] <westz> potataoes_never_, arch takes a lot of time, it's just the truth. the fact that it's minimal is because you have to hand configure everything
[00:46] <lcb> coz_: good idea... #xsane doesn't exist (as official chan
[00:46] <kiichiro> can I just get rid of the past update somehow?
[00:46] <chrome_> nevercaffine neverming
[00:47] <coz_> lcb,  no it would be the #sane channel ,, although I dont think there are many people there ;)
[00:47] <coz_> lcb,  so also try ##linux
[00:47] <potataoes_never_> westz, yeats: yeah, I'm not looking for that level of detail either, but maybe Lubuntu will suit me? I sort of need a comfortable middle ground.
[00:47] <ubun_> liny_man: im pretty sure but let me double check. i did try to install EASYCAP and i had to do alot of stuff could that have messed it up. (inever got it working)
[00:47] <noisewaterphd> my 6 year old son just told me that Macs suck, and to give him his monitor back so that his Linux would work again
[00:47] <westz> xubuntu and lubuntu are good, so is crunchbang
[00:47] <ZykoticK9> potataoes_never_, if you ONLY want what YOU want - check out the mini install (careful, it's what made me switch to Debian)  Good luck.
[00:48] <potataoes_never_> westz, yeats: maybe when I'm more adept with linux/programming, I'll try out arch - ZykoticK9 - haha
[00:48] <westz> noisewaterphd, win
[00:48] <Juv1228> hello, i have a question about some networking stuff
[00:48] <qin> noisewaterphd: Your boy sounds like wise man.
[00:48] <Juv1228> i have two computers, one ubuntu desktop, the other ubutu server
[00:48] <noisewaterphd> westz: ya, but now I've only got 2 monitors again :(
[00:48] <westz> potataoes_never_, it's an awesome system, definitely trry it if you have the time
[00:49] <lcb> coz_:  thanks :)
[00:49] <Juv1228> server is holding tons of large media files that i want to stream to desktop, but id rather not clog up the rest of my network with this traffic as my router is only 10/100
[00:49] <coz_> lcb,  no problem
[00:49] <kiichiro> I am not recompiling the kernal, don't even know how and that's the only option I am seeing
[00:49] <Juv1228> and both PC's have two nic's so i figured id just run a cable between them right
[00:50] <westz> it's like the difference between taking a snapshot of a scene with a camera and building an image pixel by pixel
[00:50] <noisewaterphd> Juv1228, just want to point out that a GB router is dirt cheap these days
[00:50] <Juv1228> ok, got that done, static IP's, i can ping the server on both IP's but cant talk to the world
[00:50] <coz_> westz,  lots of work
[00:50] <westz> it takes a long time, but it's only what you want
[00:50] <ubun_> is there a way to check what graphics card i have without opening it up?
[00:50] <Juv1228> noisewaterphd, im sure they are, but even if i did upgrade id keep it this way because im doing alot of streaming
[00:50] <JonasE> Hello, is somebody Online?
[00:50] <potataoes_never_> Well guys, I'll see you later, thanks a lot for all your help. I think I'll start out with Ubuntu Mini for now, and see where that takes me from there. Also, I guess I'll give Firefox a whirl and leave behind Opera for a while :)
[00:50] <westz> ubun_, lspci
[00:51] <noisewaterphd> ubun_, lshw
[00:51] <noisewaterphd> or lspci
[00:51] <yeats> JonasE: there's a whole channel of us ;-)
[00:51] <JonasE> Great :D
[00:51] <Juv1228> if i ifdown the nic on my desktop connected directly to the server i can ping google or whatever. but once its up im not being routed correctly outside the network
[00:51] <westz> i think i'm gonna take off. been sitting in mcdonalds for forever
[00:51] <JonasE> I just would sorry for LarsT's Spam attack.
[00:52] <JonasE> McDonalds Rules :D
[00:52] <Juv1228> i have a feeling its because they are both on the same netmask?
[00:52] <westz> wow, i've been here since like 1400 and it's almost 1800
[00:52] <westz> *1900
[00:52] <coz_> I think this sounds more like  offtopic conversation  ...yes?
[00:52] <JonasE> Who have a feeling about what?
[00:53] <JonasE> Just one more question. Is everybody in the list online? o0
[00:53] <coz_> JonasE,  its likely they are all connected ..yes,, paying attention?  I have no way of knowing
[00:54] <JonasE> Well then. Kick inaktive Channelusers for a better Traffic :D
[00:54] <ubun_> the video car would be listed as the "video controller" ? or the  "display controller"?
[00:55] <coz_> JonasE,  many people "lurk" for many reasons...
[00:55] <coz_> JonasE,  any ubuntu issues concerning you ?
[00:55] <JonasE> That much?
[00:55] <JonasE> But ok
[00:55] <JonasE> BB
[00:55] <JonasE> Sry for interupt your conversion
[00:55] <FloodBot1> JonasE: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:56] <engammalsko> Hi, how do I find my name server?
[00:56] <green91> is usually provided by your ISP
[00:56] <engammalsko> Something like ns1.myip ? and ns2.myip ?
[00:57] <Guest88078> is there an easy way to get my monitor to stop saying "signal is out of range"
[00:57] <green91> engammalsko: are you looking for generic dns?
[00:57] <engammalsko> green91: I don't know it sounds right. What is it?
[00:57] <green91> guest88078: change the resolution or sync rate to one supported
[00:58] <engammalsko> green91: I wanna forward a co.cc domain to my web server.
[00:58] <green91> ahh
[00:58] <green91> engammalsko: you will need to purchase DNS service them more htan likely.
[00:58] <engammalsko> green91: hmm, how does that work? : )
[00:59] <engammalsko> green91: There's alot of free hosts that allows nameservers. So shouldn't it be free to get too?
[01:00] <Guest88078> green91: how do I get to where I can change that when I can't see anything in my monitor lol
[01:01] <green91> guest88078: alt+shift+f2 to go to a text terminal, you need to edit your x config file.
[01:03] <Guest88078> green91: i can edit my x config file right now. what do I put in there.
[01:04] <Guest88078> green91: right now it's blank for my install.
[01:04] <Formes> @Guest88078 are you running multiple monitors or just one on the computer you are having problems with?
[01:04] <ubun_> is there only cheese to record camera footage in ubuntu?
[01:05] <SysSi> Hi
[01:05] <Formes> Hello SysSi
[01:05] <Guest88078> Formes: I have one monitor. the one that isn't working. I'm using a cd to view this chat.
[01:05] <SysSi> I have ubuntun 11.04 Desktop installed, with a broadcam network card >_>
[01:06] <KM0201> SysSi: which broadcom (I assume its not working?)
[01:06] <SysSi> I have the Bmwl-kernel-source driver for it, but it says "Dependency is not satisfiable: dkms" in the Software center
[01:06] <KM0201> SysSi: which broadcom do you have?
[01:06] <SysSi> BCM4306
[01:07] <Guest88078> Formes: I've installed ubuntu 11.04.
[01:07] <kiichiro> hey still having trouble with the game server
[01:07] <Guest88078> Formes has left. any one else wanna help me with my monitor?
[01:08] <KM0201> SysSi: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
[01:08] <KM0201> SysSi: that shoul set you up.
[01:09] <green91> guest88078: how did u install x?
[01:09] <Guest88078> just think of me as some one who's got 10% of a normal human brain. be a good guy and help the stupid figure out how to fix a monitor that says "signal out of range"
[01:09] <SysSi> mm unable to lock diretory
[01:09] <KM0201> SysSi: close synaptic
[01:09] <KM0201> or whatever is using root
[01:10] <Guest88078> green91: i installed x with an update to 11.04 from 10.04
[01:10] <KM0201> Guest88078: you didn't read those upgrade instructions very well did you?
[01:10] <ubun_> is there like a system restore... like there is in windowas?
[01:10] <SysSi> Ah yes, not, just unable to loate pakate b43 ect, firmware
[01:10] <Guest88078> green91: it worked until I installed nvidia drivers
[01:10] <KM0201> SysSi: open synaptic again
[01:11] <green91> hrn
[01:11] <SysSi> ok
[01:11] <Guest88078> KMB201: well, I guess so. it was working. damn you nvidia drivers.
[01:11] <KM0201> SysSi: in synaptic, go to the Settings Menu, then "Repositories"
[01:11] <KM0201> and that will open another window
[01:12] <green91> see if you can run xf86config
[01:12] <Guest88078> whoops. KM0201: ya i don't think I did read them very well.
[01:12] <KM0201> Guest88078: yeah, you can't skip distros like that.. 10.04, 10.10, 11.04.. if you skipped 10.10, you could have a mess trying to fix this.
[01:13] <Guest88078> every thing was working well then BOOM nvidia messed it up
[01:13] <SysSi> ok im there
[01:13] <green91> why not?
[01:13] <green91> ive jumped several distros.
[01:13] <KM0201> SysSi: ok, on the first tab, check all those boxes.
[01:13] <KM0201> SysSi: on the other software tab... check all those boxes
[01:14] <SysSi> Yes, but this system has no internet access, im using a seperate laptop for this chat
[01:14] <KM0201> SysSi: oh ok...
[01:14] <Guest88078> KM0201: it was fine without nvidia drivers. it's install now. if I go back I'll have to wait hours for three installs because I have no disks other than 10.04.
[01:15] <KM0201> SysSi: ok...
[01:15] <Guest88078> KM0201: what do i do to keep from waisting a whole day installing stuff?
[01:15] <KM0201> SysSi: PM?
[01:16] <SysSi> Not sure how PM works on this online client :p
[01:16] <KM0201> SysSi: you should see my name popped up somewhere
[01:17] <SysSi> Thanks
[01:17] <venol> Helo, I have create crontab on ubuntu 10.04, and I add "*/1 * * * * /home/venol/random-to-dil.sh" with crontab -e command. But, I'm wait for 2 minutes, my script is not running? but if I test with */1 * * * * echo "hello" the script running on the system. what is problem? what does my script is wrong? I have make sure it correct.
[01:18] <Guest88078> any one want to perform a community service for the stupid?
[01:19] <Guest88078> all I need is some resolutions that will work for x on my monitor
[01:20] <bsmith093> wget suddenly isnt working, says bad port number localhost:4001
[01:20] <jink> venol: */1 is the same as *.  How did you check your script ran?  Does it say your script ran in /var/log/syslog ?
[01:20] <Guest88078> I would love to visit youtube or search on google for stuff I don't need right about now.
[01:20] <jink> bsmith093: Did you prepend a protocol, like http:// ?
[01:20] <Product> Hey all.
[01:21] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: Usually 800x600 will work on just about ANY monitor
[01:21] <bsmith093> jink: yes
[01:21] <Product> I want to ask something about .mdf extention.
[01:21] <bsmith093> http://
[01:21] <Product> What for is the .mdf extention used ?
[01:21] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: I can't view through my  monitor to fix it on my install.
[01:22] <ghostnik11> okay serious and annoying problem of empathy window moving and expanding as i type the window moves to the left
[01:22] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: I assume it still boots and ssh is running?
[01:22] <jink> bsmith093: So, it's just wget http://localhost:4001/ ?
[01:22] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: I can get to the xorg.conf file now, but I don't know what to put in there.
[01:22] <ghostnik11> instead of just forming a second line as i type the window expands whats going on?
[01:22] <bsmith093> no its the error i get with any url after wget
[01:23] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: Does it have any mode lines? How about the driver?
[01:23] <bsmith093> wget www.bkah.com returen error bad port number http://localhost:4001
[01:23] <Oer> product master database file ( sql)
[01:23] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: ya. it boots and runs. monitor just yells at me "signal is out of range"
[01:23] <Product> Oh ok.
[01:23] <Product> Thanks Oer.
[01:23] <Product> I want to ask you also.
[01:23] <gry> Product: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_formats MDS – DAEMON tools native disc image file format used for making images from optical CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, HD DVD or Blu-ray Disc. It comes together with MDF file and can be mounted with DAEMON Tools or Alcohol 120% software.
[01:23] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: Idealy I would ask you to paste.ubuntu.com your xorg.conf
[01:23] <ghostnik11> is it unity that is making empathy suddenly act weird and break, as it doesn't form a second line as i type just keeps expanding one line
[01:23] <Product> How can I view what is inside of it ?
[01:23] <osti401> i h
[01:24] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: In that case, maybe your fresh rate got messed up?
[01:24] <Product> Oh ok :)
[01:24] <Product> Thanks.
[01:24] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: can I paste it in a private chat for you?
[01:25] <Product> I found it on a website of my friend, he asked me to review it.
[01:25] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: Pastebin is suggested.. it'll take 10 minutes to send that many lines ^_^
[01:25] <venol> @jink: Yes, I make sure it run. I have test to execute with "bash /home/venol/random-to-dil.sh" command, and it's works!
[01:25] <ghostnik11> is there anyway i can fix this? problem of windows expanding to the right for no reason
[01:25] <Product> If we open it, can we see database of the whole website ?
[01:25] <Product> Like usernames/Passwords ?
[01:25] <venol> jink: Yes, I make sure it run. I have test to execute with "bash /home/venol/random-to-dil.sh" command, and it's works!
[01:25] <jink> venol: Erhm, what?
[01:25] <jink> bsmith093: Oh, some weird proxy configged?
[01:25] <Oer> product, that is no ubuntu support question
[01:26] <venol> jink: My script is run, But can't execute with crontab.. : (
[01:26] <Product> Oer, yeah sorry.  I ran recovery mode earlier and now I can't get to it.
[01:26] <Guest88078> looks like it's goin to be a long evening
[01:26] <Oer> Product, you should be able to open it in mysql, but if it is protected, i don't know
[01:27] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: What happens if you try to boot at all? in any more.
[01:27] <Product> Oer: Oh ok, thank you.
[01:27] <osti401> i have an ati graphic card and the driver is installed and when i launch a game it says "your video card performance has not been found a quick bench will be performed" and " then it says that could not retrieve your graphics device performance
[01:27] <jink> venol: I'm asking you to check your syslog to verify that cron runs your script.
[01:27] <Product> Oer: I'll try to open it, also one more please.
[01:27] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: it boots like normal. I just don't see anything in my monitor.
[01:27] <Product> Does it contains more then 1 table. ?
[01:27] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: it makes intro sounds.
[01:28] <Product> Like emails, names, usernames
[01:28] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: Try pressing ctrl+alt+F1
[01:28] <Product> Or it is specific in 1 thing ?
[01:28] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: It should drop you into a terminal
[01:28] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: ok
[01:28] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: what do i do in that terminal?
[01:29] <Product> :( Thank you very much guys.
[01:29] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: Least you can see your files now :)... log in first
[01:29] <Diamondcite> then..
[01:29] <venol> jink: ok, I check.
[01:30] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:30] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: ok. this is actually hilarious. I feel like a monkey using a calculator.
[01:30] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: Replace "vi" with your favourite editor
[01:31] <ubun> is it just plug and play to change/upgrade a graphics card im on ubuntu 10.04
[01:31] <ghostnik11> okay wanted to know the best way to install windows xp along side of ubuntu 11.04 as ubuntu 11.04 is already on the laptop
[01:31] <Diamondcite> Guest88078: I've seen really amazing words from those calculators, so don't underestimate it ^_^
[01:31] <potatoes> Hello
[01:31] <potatoes> Back again with a few questions!
[01:32] <engammalsko> green91: I found a good one : ) co.cr offered dns hosting and it was free :D
[01:32]  * gry looks at the potatoes's questions.
[01:32] <potatoes> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Mini Remix 11.04, but I can't seem to get it working with on my usb drive using startup disk creator...
[01:32] <green91> engammalsko: congrats!
[01:32] <Guest88078> Diamondcite: i've seen cheating on tests with calculators. I wonder if I should post this as a bug or if my install was just bad.
[01:32] <ghostnik11> can i actually do that, install windows xp along side ubuntu 11.04 laptop without screwing up grub and all those other important stuff for ubuntu
[01:33] <potatoes> Any suggestions or recommendations? Can I set up my usb drive manually through terminal or something?
[01:33] <Senjai> yes
[01:33] <kiichiro> I love xubuntu as it never interferes with my games :) and such amazing community
[01:33] <lapaga>  ghostnik11 am pretty sure that you need to install xp first and then ubuntu
[01:34] <green91> its possible to repair grub after installing windows but its generally easier to have windows installed first.
[01:34] <Guest88078> potatoes: i love potatoes. goodbye all
[01:34] <potatoes> oh
[01:35] <ghostnik11> lapaga, see thats what i was hoping not to do as it is my mom computer and she already has been using ubuntu 11.04 for a while now; green91, is there no other way?
[01:35] <potatoes> anyone have any success setting up ubuntu mini on a usb drive using startup disk creator?
[01:35] <green91> blah who wants windows?? run it in a vm
[01:37] <ghostnik11> green91: will move to slow its a compaq laptop and isn't a high end model, its just that windows suck but a site that she needs to study from only uses windows computer or basically asks for internet explorer
[01:37] <nit-wit> ghostnik11, here is a link, it does not matter the install sequence, it is understanding booting. http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/index.html
[01:38] <green91> ghostnik11: install xp and follow a guide like this one to reinstall grub: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/
[01:38] <green91> ghostnik11: but you'll have to be careful in the windows install bc ubuntu partitions are likely using the entire drive so one will need to be resized
[01:39] <nit-wit> green91, that link is for grub-legacy
[01:39] <green91> ah rats, my apologies..
[01:40] <edbian> ghostnik11: I suggest you use gparted to resize your ubuntu partition and make room for an xp (or whatever windows) install with a large area of unallocated space
[01:40] <ghostnik11> green91 and nitwit: thanks for help but think i will just do as green91 suggested will install windows then install ubuntu after hearing comments on resizing and finding things, don't want to mess around with resizing
[01:40] <iniesta6> hi
[01:40] <iniesta6> may i get little help about problem :
[01:40] <iniesta6> after i login to my user i cant see anything
[01:41] <iniesta6> just the background and the cursor :S
[01:42] <hanaguma> can someone recommend a room for network issues (NAT)
[01:42] <ghostnik11> edbian: thanks i think i will just go with what green91, and others said its easier to install windows first after a wipe of entire system then install ubuntu 11.04 back again, thanks that way grub will have control instead of me messing around with resizing and other things that i might not be skilled at to fix if broken
[01:42] <nit-wit> iniesta6, have you changed anything IE what is the precursor to this.
[01:42] <edbian> ghostnik11: sure
[01:43] <iniesta6> dont understand
[01:43] <iniesta6> i had this problem and came here and been told to install nvidia drivers
[01:43] <iniesta6> i did that
[01:43] <nit-wit> iniesta6, did you do anything like install something?
[01:43] <iniesta6> but now i got only 2 option to boot ubuntu
[01:43] <iniesta6> yes
[01:43] <iniesta6> ive been told here to install nvidia drivers to y video card
[01:44] <iniesta6> but i had 5 options at booting
[01:44] <iniesta6> after i installed i have 2 options (normal and recovery)
[01:44] <mozybonz> gparted work great,xp simply complains about somthing changing and wants to do a check. Thats about it
[01:44] <dimas_> i do have my sound working but the volume control is gone from my desktop and system...so i use pulseaudio volume control but i believe something wrong as i have a little problem with a particular application who doesnt play sound
[01:44] <iniesta6> i installed it from recovery mode ,option like graphic fail
[01:45] <Teslasense> ok I made a noob mistake I installed gnome3 and forgot to turn auto login off now I can't load a desktop
[01:45] <iniesta6> but i cant access it anymore :S
[01:45] <Teslasense> anyone know how to fix it
[01:45] <nit-wit> iniesta6, there is a safe mode boot from a gui if you choose the recovery boot, that will get you in without grphic drivers.
[01:46] <dimas_> recovery mode? tell me about it
[01:46] <iniesta6> if i choose recovery mode i dont saw safe mod
[01:46] <iniesta6> only resume,2 root options,graphic fail and maybe one more
[01:46] <nit-wit> iniesta6, I forget the name of it 4th or 5th line down in the gui.
[01:47] <iniesta6> then what i need to do there?
[01:47] <nit-wit> iniesta6, it scrolls
[01:47] <nit-wit> iniesta6, if you choose the correct line you will get into the desktop without graphics, beyond that others will have to help tyou.
[01:48] <Teslasense> anyone here know how to fix the issue I have
[01:48] <iniesta6> :S k ty
[01:48] <iniesta6> i acn reinstall ubuntu?
[01:48] <iniesta6> can*
[01:49] <iniesta6> i used  wubi.exe
[01:49] <randomusr_> running 10.04 and getting some errors about updating. One of the repositories complains about being contacted
[01:49] <randomusr_> anyone else having issues?

[01:50] <[THC]AcidRain> in perl. what is the regular expression for "first 4 characters of a string" lets say the string was "!hax zomg" how would i see if "!hax" was at the beginning?
[01:50] <[THC]AcidRain> or is there a string function that does that already?
[01:50] <den> i have a question about trying out ububtu
[01:50] <anadon> hey, gmp 5.0.2 build/installation failed on Ubuntu 11.04 x64 and I don't know why.
[01:51] <hanaguma> AcidRain: regex for first 4 characters would be /^..../
[01:51] <nit-wit> den, just one?
[01:51] <yeats> randomusr_: can you paste the output of 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' to http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the link?
[01:51] <jink> [THC]AcidRain: #perl
[01:52] <hanaguma> having trouble with NAT for ekiga, can you recommen a channle?
[01:52] <hanaguma> official ekiga channel no one is answering
[01:53] <den> yes, my laptop sees CD and when I tell it I'd like to try, it seems to start doing something but then sits there forever, should this take a long time?
[01:54] <jmadero> anyone here do any database work?
[01:55] <anadon> you might run into charge support for ubuntu...what database?  If you know, go to that one's channel.
[01:55] <jmadero> unfortunately it's MS Access (and I can't find any decent support for it)
[01:55] <jmadero> I use Linux but for work they require Access
[01:55] <jmadero> just looking for someone who might private chat with me for a bit to try to solve this issue I'm having
[01:55] <nit-wit> den, try booting the cd hit the shift key, and hold it down to get the first screen that has more options, try it from there if not try hittting f6 at that first screen abd try nomodeset from the drop down.
[01:55] <nit-wit> *and
[01:56] <Teslasense> ok I forgot to turn off auto login when I installed gnome 3 before rebooting now when I reboot it looks like it's looking for gnome3 but trys to boot into unity causing xwindows to crash, anyone now how to fix this?
[01:56] <randomusr_> yeats - http://paste.ubuntu.com/637218/
[01:56] <jmadero> and go figure a MS product wouldn't have decent group of people to offer live help
[01:56] <Oer> !gnome3
[01:56] <pythonquestion>  i would like to decompress only one of the files included in a huge gzip file , how can i do that?
[01:56] <jmadero> don't install gnome 3 on Natty, it's terrible
[01:56] <jmadero> if you want to try it go try out Fedora 15, I have a virtualbox running for it
[01:56] <anadon> jmadero: MS isn't supported by linux anything as far as I'm aware.  you gotta buy help.  no way around that unless you're great at research/illegal torrenting.
[01:57] <jmadero> lol I'm hoping someone here is like me and is forced to use MS for work or some other purpose ;)
[01:57] <jmadero> and since Linux people are so much nicer, I figured I'd give it a shot
[01:57] <Teslasense> Oer so Im better off just reinstalling?
[01:57] <Guest21926> hey guys. my super button's packed in. super, super + W, super + D... nothing works. using unity, 11.04. the compiz key combinations are all correctly set. where should i start looking to fix this?
[01:57] <den> thanks nit-wit
[01:58] <Teslasense> Fedora is a POS
[01:58] <anadon> jmadero: depends on the channel.  #linux is damn mean!  can you use sql?
[01:58] <nit-wit> den, no problem.
[01:58] <Teslasense> anything based off of rh is a pos
[01:58] <jmadero> I can use sql to some extent, it's really not the most difficult question ;)
[01:58] <anadon> I'd have to say use that if possible...
[01:58] <jmadero> Teslasense: the founder of Linux uses Fedora and always has, so it must not be that bad ;)
[01:59] <szal> jmadero: "always has" can't be true to begin with, since Fedora exists since 2003
[01:59] <KM0201> Teslasense: while i prefer debian distros, RH is good to.
[01:59] <szal> jmadero: and Linux was invented in 1991
[01:59] <yeats> randomusr_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/574886 <-- have you seen this?
[01:59] <Teslasense> so you're telling me Linus Torvalds uses redhat, and how would you know this?
[01:59] <jmadero> okay okay, well in an interview he said "he's so used to Fedora he's seen no reason to change"
[02:00] <Teslasense> KM0201: I don't like how it's structured and the whole rpm packing
[02:00] <jmadero> I can find the article when I have a bit more time
[02:00] <den> nit-wit, when i say it just sits there, it keeps blinking a Ubuntu logo for up to an hour - should the trial of Ubunto take a long time to show a desktop?
[02:00] <KM0201> Teslasense: a lot of RPM guys, say the same thing about debian... it's just preference... neither is really better/worse than the other IMO.
[02:00] <Guest21926> jmadero: without wanting to be too anal, because Teslasense comes across as a bit of a twat, i'm pretty sure linus hasn't been using fedora since the day he founded it :P
[02:00] <jmadero> right now I just need to solve this stupid access problem so I can get off of XP
[02:00] <jmadero> KM0201: :)
[02:00] <szal> jmadero: tried ##windows ?
[02:00] <jmadero> fully agree, it's all preference
[02:01] <jmadero> I started with Fedora 4, now using Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10, Fedora 15 and about to test Gentoo
[02:01] <Teslasense> KM0201: if you look at most of the exploits ever put out a lot of them would run against rh boxes and not other distros
[02:01] <pythonquestion>  i would like to decompress only one of the files included in a huge gzip file , how can i do that?
[02:01] <Teslasense> rh is linux version of windows
[02:01] <anadon> hey, gmp 5.0.2 build/installation failed on Ubuntu 11.04 x64 and I don't know why.
[02:01] <Teslasense> that's my imo though
[02:01] <KM0201> Teslasense: but those exploits could be just as easily be converted to run on a debian box...
[02:01] <Teslasense> my favorite is slackware honestly
[02:01] <hanaguma>  pythonquestion: i believe a gzip holds only one file, do you mean .tar.gz?
[02:01] <szal> Teslasense: stop that nonsense, this is not the place for opinions on non-*buntu OSes
[02:02] <nit-wit> den, generally it is a couple of minutes, you should check the md5sums of the iso and cd, could be a bad burn, or a bad download or a hardware need that we haven't found yet. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[02:02] <update> whats up ubuntu
[02:02] <jmadero> lol szal don't give him fuel to continue ;)
[02:02] <nit-wit> den, what is the computer model
[02:02] <den> toshiba satalite 105
[02:03] <Teslasense> you gotta love it when someone doesn't agree with someone theyt hink they are big internet ppl and can tell them to shut up
[02:03] <Teslasense> szal: you don't like what I have to say use /ignore tough guy
[02:03] <Teslasense> jmadero: mentioned other distros first, so I commented on it
[02:03] <KM0201> geez, mark has fallen all the way back to 34th
[02:03] <szal> Teslasense: just trying to get you to observe channel rules before an op does w/ other means
[02:04] <KM0201> woops, wrong channel
[02:04] <Teslasense> szal: then say it to everyone
[02:04] <Teslasense> im not the one that mentioned other distro's first
[02:04] <Oer> Teslasense, please stop
[02:04] <szal> Teslasense: and honestly, all this OS bashing gets tiresome after hearing it for years
[02:04] <Teslasense> so anyways back to my question
[02:04] <Teslasense> is there anyway to fix it or should I just reinstall?
[02:04] <jmadero> unlikely to get help now ;)
[02:05] <anadon> Ubuntu has become bloated and fragile, so a re-install
[02:05] <Teslasense> szal: i just stated my opinion about how I feel about something when someone said just run this
[02:05] <jmadero> hopefully you have a separate home folder
[02:05] <jmadero> then a reinstall should be really easy
[02:05] <Ray2> den: Have you checked your md5
[02:05] <Teslasense> jmadero: I just booted off the cd and backed up the /home/ folder to my external
[02:05] <Senjai> quick question, how do i disable the automatic screen lock in ubuntu
[02:05] <szal> kuix: don't IRC as root..
[02:06] <jmadero> Teslasense: I highly recommend for next install to have a separate partition
[02:06] <den> Ray2, no, just reading how to
[02:06] <Teslasense> jmadero: yeah not a bad idea
[02:06] <Teslasense> any other partion sugguestions?
[02:06] <jmadero> uh, some people do separate boot partition, I don't
[02:06] <engammalsko> I love fish
[02:06] <engammalsko> !ot
[02:06] <Teslasense> yeah I use to not anymore
[02:06] <jmadero> I have and never really understood why
[02:06] <KM0201> szal: he may well be on the live cd.. "may"
[02:07] <szal> Teslasense: / and /home will do, everything else covers special needs
[02:07] <Teslasense> jamespage: so just a / /home and swap then is all you would recommend?
[02:07] <kuix> ola.... i need of one software for test/bench my hd....tnx :)
[02:07] <szal> Teslasense: yes
[02:07] <Teslasense> szal: awesome
[02:07] <Teslasense> so if you have a seperate /home partition a reinstall won't wipe out /home right unless you tell it to format?
[02:07] <mobodo> is there a way to backup a whole partition in ubuntu but skip the unused blocks? dd seems to copy everything, including the unused blocks (as junk, which doesn't gzip very well)
[02:08] <szal> KM0201: does the live CD start as root?  I don't think so, at least it didn't when I last used one (*buntu, that is)
[02:08] <KM0201> szal: yes, it does
[02:08] <jmadero> yeah and then I'd recommend building a script to auto install everything for reinstalls
[02:08] <Teslasense> szal: the cd I booted off of gave me root
[02:08] <KM0201> always has
[02:08] <Teslasense> and auto mounted my hdd and external
[02:08] <jmadero> I have one, I get everything set up in about 10 minutes using one command
[02:08] <KM0201> szal: the ubuntu live cd has always automatically logged you in as root.
[02:08] <Teslasense> jmadero: yeah I did that part already
[02:09] <Teslasense> szal and jmadero ty for the help and advice
[02:09] <kuix> hd benchmark tool?  :(
[02:09] <jmadero> then you're good to go, make root partition about 5-7 gigs
[02:09] <jmadero> everything else should be in home
[02:09] <szal> jmadero: a bit small imho, should be more like 10+ GB
[02:09] <jmadero> I currently have 6
[02:09] <nit-wit> den, did you try the nomodeset option with a f6 prompt at the first gui?
[02:09] <jmadero> never have issues
[02:09] <Teslasense> I was giong to do around 20gigs for the /
[02:09] <Teslasense> and everything else for /home
[02:10] <szal> just to be sure, I've seen enough cases where ppl ran out of space because their / partition was too small
[02:10] <aaaaaaaa> oi
[02:10] <jmadero> I honestly have never seen 20 gigs taken up for a root partition, that's a lot of extra crap software (IMO)
[02:10]  * szal has 12 or 15 GB for /
[02:10] <jmadero> even huge packages like OOo are only 200 megs or so
[02:10] <Teslasense> I have a 1tb external incase 300gigs for /home isn't enough
[02:10] <jmadero> yeah I just like not wasting space, so I strip my *buntu down
[02:10] <jmadero> keep it around 4 gigs with 2 open just in case
[02:11] <Teslasense> yeah I usually remove stupid shit like all those lame games and all that crap
[02:11] <jmadero> I also remove evolution, extra kernels when I update, etc...
[02:11] <den> nit-wit, not yet, my interface is all test, no gui
[02:11] <jmadero> I do have OOo and Libreoffice installed
[02:11] <jmadero> which is probably redundant
[02:11] <szal> !language | Teslasense
[02:11] <den> text
[02:12] <nit-wit> den, right with your chip set I believe it needs a low graphic boot to get it that is what the nomodset option is.
[02:12] <jmadero> szal: stop picking on him ;)
[02:12] <szal> jmadero: I don't
[02:12] <Guest21926> szal: since when are "lame" and "crap" swear words?
[02:12] <jmadero> he said shit ;)
[02:12] <Guest21926> :P
[02:13] <jmadero> dangit, no database admins in here???
[02:13] <jmadero> think I'll have better luck over at #linux?
[02:13] <Teslasense> szal, 15gigs should be a safe bet for /?
[02:13] <Gryllida> !ask | jmadero
[02:13] <nit-wit> den, thos giuded user intefaces for getting to the desktops are gui's.
[02:13] <Guest21926> what kind of database?
[02:13] <szal> imho, Anglo-Saxons are too sensitiv about such words anyway, but I don't make the channel rules ;)
[02:13] <szal> Teslasense: yes
[02:13] <jmadero> access unforunately
[02:13] <nit-wit> *those
[02:13] <Teslasense> cool ty
[02:14] <Guest21926> i don't have any experience with it, sorry. i don't think they have IRC for people who use access anyway
[02:14] <Guest21926> have you tried your local library or pensioner's club? :P
[02:14] <jmadero> I know, of course a MS product wouldn't have it
[02:14] <Gryllida> jmadero: What's up?
[02:14] <den> nit-wit, I'll try booting the Toshiba and do the no mode set when i get a chance later
[02:14] <szal> jmadero: as I said, tried ##windows already?
[02:14] <jmadero> I don't want to get booted for having the convo here ;) get yelled at for talking about non Ubuntu software
[02:14] <nit-wit> den, cool
[02:15] <jmadero> szal: tried, people are "mean" (nice way to say it)
[02:15] <den> nit-wit, thanks again
[02:15] <nit-wit> den, no problem.
[02:15] <den> quit
[02:15] <Gryllida> jmadero: If it's software question, there is ##windows ; but if it's sql/language question, I'm sure people here would happily try to help you.
[02:16] <jmadero> hm, not sure if it qualifies as a sql question, basically I want to pass on a value from a form to a global variable and then use it in another form
[02:16] <szal> jmadero: in my limited experience w/ it, the best support for Windows 'standard' software is to be found on general or specialized Windows web forums
[02:16] <jmadero> szal: tried that also, for the most part unhelpful
[02:16] <Gryllida> jmadero: What did you already try / do you already have?
[02:16] <szal> jmadero: how about microsoft.* newsgroups?
[02:17]  * Gryllida is still trying to see if it's a program or a language question.
[02:17] <jmadero> szal: basically I'm trying to solve this right now so that I can get on with the project, been stuck for a couple weeks
[02:18] <szal> jmadero: just trying to point you in a direction you might not have thought about yet..  I've been a mostly passive reader of some of the microsoft.* newsgroups for a while, and they're mostly pretty quick to answer
[02:19] <jmadero> szal: any suggestion for a particular one?
[02:19] <szal> so if your problem isn't absolutely obscure, you should've an answer within 2 days at the latest
[02:19] <szal> jmadero: don't have a configured newsagent at hand atm
[02:20] <szal> been a while that I was active in Usenet
[02:20] <jmadero> szal: surprisingly newgroups is something I've never used
[02:20] <szal> jmadero: if you so will, that's the predecessor to the web forums
[02:21] <jmadero> szal: okay going to join one now, we'll see if it leads to something functional, thanks
[02:21] <jmadero> now I got curious to try the Chrome OS so downloading ;) (I know I know not a Ubuntu Os)
[02:23] <szal> jmadero: http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?lnk=srgmb&hl=de&q=microsoft.public.access.* <- I suggest you pick one of these
[02:24] <jmadero> szal: already had found those, thanks :) trying to figure out how to subscribe through thunderbird now
[02:24] <jmadero> can't figure out what to put in for "server"
[02:24] <szal> jmadero: oh, that was long ago around Thunderbird 1.0 when I was in Usenet
[02:24] <piero> Is mcrypt a good program to encrypt my personal files? I want not to store a key somewhere, so I'm thinking about to use mcrypt
[02:24] <szal> jmadero: you need a newsfeed
[02:25] <szal> jmadero: probably your ISP offers one
[02:25] <jmadero> piero: I just use terminal based encfs
[02:25] <jmadero> szal: now I'm confused
[02:25] <venol> jink: Thanks, finally my problem was solved.

[02:45] <NoXzema> Hi, I was wondering why the Boost libraries seems not to be updated for the past year and half?
[02:46] <NoXzema> The latest version is seemingly 1.42 which, if I'm not mistaken, was sometime in the beginning of 2010 or end of 2009
[02:46] <piero> Why truecrypt isn't in Ubuntu repositories?
[02:46] <KM0201> !info truecrypt
[02:46] <KM0201> hmm
[02:49] <Nobgul-bnc> cause they dont use a opensource license
[02:50] <mobodo> clonezilla is pretty neat
[02:50] <mobodo> I just wish it supported software raid off the shelf
[02:50] <KM0201> mobodo: it's a pretty slick tool
[02:51] <bigjay2> ok i got a desktop now i need to get network working ... my net ard didnt come up auto anyone got 5 to help with that now?
[02:52] <engammalsko> Argh, how do I run IE6 on Ubuntu?
[02:52] <Nobgul-bnc> LOL
[02:52] <mobodo> KM0201: did a full backup in 5 minutes over the network, generated a 4GB image.  dd took nearly an hour to generate a 20GB image o_O
[02:52] <Nobgul-bnc> sorry.
[02:52] <KM0201> engammalsko: what the.. why on earth would you want to do that?
[02:52] <szal> !ies4linux
[02:52] <Nobgul-bnc> engammalsko, you can try to install it via wine but i doubt it would work.
[02:52] <engammalsko> I have wine installed, but it keeps telling me that I have a newer version.
[02:52] <KM0201> mobodo: yep, it's a slick tool.
[02:52] <l3d> how would i install the newest version of firefox to 10.10
[02:52] <engammalsko> KM0201: Because it sucks.
[02:52] <engammalsko> KM0201: No but, to test some things on my site etc : )
[02:52] <KM0201> engammalsko: because what sucks?
[02:53] <engammalsko> KM0201: IE6
[02:53] <KM0201> hmm, ok
[02:53] <Cimer_> Hey everyone, I came with a customization question that I have not found he answer on google..How do you change the panel color (I think that;s what it's called).
[02:53] <Nobgul-bnc> there was a browser i used a while ago that allowed you to change to a "compatibilty mode" to test website as other browsers see them
[02:53] <engammalsko> Nobgul-bnc: Do you remember the name of it?
[02:54] <Nobgul-bnc> trying to think.
[02:54] <Cimer_> It's the menu that you get from clicking the sound, power button, your signal strength etc.
[02:54] <piero> How can I split my tar.bz2 files in 4.7GB parts?
[02:54] <KM0201> !ie4linux | engammalsko
[02:54] <KM0201> !ies4linux | engammalsko
[02:55] <engammalsko> KM0201: Isn't that kind of cheating?
[02:55] <KM0201> is what cheating?
[02:55] <engammalsko> KM0201: I was joking haha.
[02:55]  * szal wonders why websites still get optimised for IE6..  IE6 is dead, according to Microsoft
[02:55] <KM0201> szal: i agree... and most sites are going to be made to work w/ Firefox.
[02:55] <engammalsko> szal: Yes I know, I don't really care. I just wanna know what works and what doesn't : )
[02:56] <edbian_> szal: Websites that optimize for ie6 have legacy code that only works in ie6
[02:56] <kion> piero, that is an option with 7zip
[02:56] <bigjay2> ok i got a desktop now i need to get network working ... my net ard didnt come up auto anyone got 5 to help with that now?
[02:56] <kion> try installing 7zip
[02:56] <edbian_> bigjay2: wired or wireless?
[02:56] <bigjay2> wireless linksys e3000 usb nic
[02:57] <Nobgul-bnc> engammalsko, i can't think of it.
[02:57] <edbian_> bigjay2: o gosh.  alright.  does it show up in the output of sudo lsusb ?
[02:57] <bigjay2> my mistake ae1000
[02:57] <wash> Did someone just state that Ubuntu doesn't ship up to date Boost C++ libraries because Boost doesn't have an open source license?
[02:57] <edbian_> bigjay2: whatev,  doe sit show up ?
[02:57] <bigjay2> yes ralink 2870
[02:57] <Nobgul-bnc> wash, no truecrypt
[02:57] <Cimer_> Hey everyone, I came with a customization question that I have not found he answer on google..How do you change the panel color (I think that's what it's called). It's the menu when you click on the power, volume, signal buttons at the top
[02:58] <wash> Ah
[02:58] <engammalsko> Nobgul-bnc: ies4linux had ie6 so nevermind.
[02:58] <Nobgul-bnc> isnt in the repos..
[02:58] <Teslasneeze> I have an asus m4a88t-m/usb3.0 board how do I check to make sure the correct drivers are installed for the soundcard to support the HD Audio because I have it going to my surround sound and it sounds like shit all crackly
[02:58] <engammalsko> Now I'm going to experience the best internet browser ever. Have fun while I'm using ie!
[03:00] <szal> Teslasneeze: sound drivers are in the kernel, so there's hardly anything you can do about it
[03:00] <l3d> Cimer_,  right click the panel
[03:00] <Teslasneeze> szal: grewat
[03:00] <Teslasneeze> great*
[03:01] <szal> Teslasneeze: and, fwiw, the ASUS M4N line (in my case, an M4N68T) work no problem
[03:01] <Teslasneeze> fwiw?
[03:01] <edbian_> for what it's worth
[03:01] <szal> though I can only run the HD audio device in legacy AC97 mode because my case has no proper HD connectors
[03:01] <Kuzad> Is there a way to boot into Ubuntu in a way that the X server doesn't start at all, and I boot into a text only mode?
[03:02] <Teslasneeze> szal: sound sounds fine when I have it set to go through the vc hdmi and comeo ut the tv speakers
[03:02] <engammalsko> ies4linux didn't work.
[03:02] <edbian_> Kuzad: recovery mode, hold shift during boot to get to the grub menu and choose it
[03:02] <Nobgul-bnc> not surprising
[03:02] <Teslasneeze> but if it's on the setting for the sdcard and for sound to come out through the surround sound, it sounds like shit
[03:02] <IdleOne> Teslasneeze: please keep the language clean
[03:02] <Kuzad> Thanks edbian_.
[03:05] <piero> I can't realize how to backup my files in some DVD medias. I want to crypt all my files, one by one, and store in the medias. I don't want to compress all in a big file because a scratch in the dvd can make me loose everything. I don't want to just copy without any cryptography.
[03:06] <engammalsko> piero: Do you want to store the backup on the dvds or make a backup from the dvds?
[03:06] <piero> I want to store my backup on the dvds
[03:06] <szal> Teslasneeze: does sound work ok from live CD?
[03:07] <engammalsko> piero: I can't help you but, why dvds?
[03:07] <piero> engammalsko,  because it's cheap
[03:07] <edbian_> hey
[03:07] <engammalsko> piero: Ok.
[03:08] <piero> I already have a backup on another PC, but the two machines are in my house. I want to send those dvds (among 32GB of data) to somewhere away from here (mom's house!?)
[03:08] <piero> And I will never trust in the clouds ... hehe
[03:08] <codex84> how u convert video to hd quality
[03:08] <codex84> ?
[03:09] <edbian> codex84: You cannot convert video to a better quality.
[03:09] <engammalsko> codex84: Lol, is that possible? :D
[03:09] <engammalsko> : (
[03:09] <codex84> lol
[03:09] <edbian> codex84: zoom in... enhance!
[03:09] <codex84> so how it done?
[03:09] <Teslasneeze> szal: depends on how I play it
[03:10] <codex84> alot of video are xvid hd quality dont u have encode..
[03:10] <Teslasneeze> I have two options in hardware internal audio and juniper hdmi audio
[03:10] <Teslasneeze> juniper hdmi audio plays perfect which comes through the HDTV
[03:10] <kion> for encription gpg works great!
[03:10] <Teslasneeze> Internal Audio is all jacked up
[03:12] <Teslasneeze> szal: the internal audio is plugged into the home theatre systems reciever
[03:12] <szal> Teslasneeze: that shouldn't make a difference, you could also just hook up a pair of headphones
[03:13] <dimas_> i am running ubuntu 10.04 and i already changed on my repositories to receive normal versions update but i dont get any info to upgrade to ubuntu 10.10...any thing else i need to do that i dont know?
[03:14] <szal> !upgrade | dimas_
[03:14] <Teslasneeze> szal: that would defeat the whole purpose of playing music through the surround sound
[03:15] <dimas_> szal i check

[03:19] <Pirsch> Hi all. Something strange has happened. When I reinstalled 11.04 last night my laptop was acting very strangely. Windows would open sporadically and it seemed I had no control over them. Then today I noticed many of my settings are in German. For example, after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, I tried to open a pdf file. The first adobe window to open (the one with the rules and agrement) was in German. Any ideas?
[03:20] <truepurple> I am trying to follow the instructions in this thread, but it won't let me edit the file that the thread mentions. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=57775.0
[03:21] <edbian> Pirsch: Very strange.  are the problems constant and random?  Can you re-produce any of them?
[03:21] <edbian> truepurple: are you using sudo ?
[03:21] <truepurple> edbian: No, I just try to open it up, I need to use sudo eh?
[03:22] <edbian> truepurple: you need to use sudo to edit anything outside of your home folder.  This is core to linux security.
[03:22] <truepurple> edbian: Can I edit it by clicking on it with sudo, without needing to use some terminal command?
[03:23] <edbian> truepurple: Short answer, you must use some terminal command.  If you run gksudo nautilus you can click the file in the nautilus window that comes up (which is root and you should use with caution) or you can gksudo gedit /path/to/file/  or sudo nano /path/to/file
[03:23] <edbian> That was short wasn't it?!
[03:24] <Jimmy_> I wanna develop any plugin for Panel of xfce4 but I can't find any documents. does anyone know where they are?
[03:24] <truepurple> I am running under gnome
[03:24] <edbian> truepurple: That does not change anything I said :)
[03:24] <Pirsch> edbian: I gave up last night but today I tried and this is when adobe opened in German. Skype also displayed my credit in euros. Three things I need to point out: first, I bought my laptop in Germany but after having reinstalled various linux distros, this is the first time this happened. Second, I currently live in China.  What I mean is that no matter where I go, when I open
[03:24] <Pirsch> gmail, it goes through the google.de server first.

[03:24] <kion> Is there any way to control the Alienware Fx led lights under Ubuntu?
[03:25] <edbian> Pirsch: I think google knows where you live because your account says so and it has nothing to do with your OS.  As for the strange languages no clue.  I can't say it's even a bug.
[03:26] <Jon--> How do I set a hotkey to move to Workspace X on Ubuntu 11.04? I used to use Compiz to set this up. (ie <Super> + 4 moves to fourth workspace)
[03:26] <edbian> Pirsch: perhaps Ubuntu heard you talking...
[03:27] <edbian> Pirsch: Or it's that lovely firewall in china?  I have no clue why things are in strange languages.  google 'locale'  that's how the system knows what language you speak.
[03:27] <Pirsch> edbian: I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything like that, but my impression last night was that I was connected to someone else and they were using remote desktop. I'd done this years ago on Windows and last night the behavior and appearance was the same. I had just installed and was starting the first update.
[03:28] <alapepitua> Hi, i am using a live usb and I want to create the space to save changes, how can I do?
[03:28] <edbian> Pirsch: You think someone logged into your machine using remote desktop?  Look at your process list.  You'd have to have a remote desktop process running for someone to log into it.  If there isn't one now chances are there wasn't ever one.
[03:28] <Pirsch> edbian: I set my system to USA keyboard and my location is Beijing and my timezone is Chongqing.
[03:28] <edbian> Pirsch: None of that would make things go german.  :P
[03:28] <Jon--> How do I set a hotkey to move to Workspace X on Ubuntu 11.04? I used to use Compiz to set this up. (ie <Super> + 4 moves to fourth workspace)
[03:29] <Pirsch> edbian: exactly. That's my point :D
[03:29] <edbian> Pirsch: Unless you think that you downloaded a bad version of Ubuntu (with secret malicious code in it) The remote login software is off by default.  System -> Admin -> Remote Desktop
[03:29] <truepurple> edbian: Ok that worked, the command line it wants me to put in, where in the file should I put it? Or does it matter?
[03:29] <Pirsch> edbian: I never use remote desktop. I just don't like or trust it.
[03:30] <KM0201> Pirsch: then how do you expect people to log in to your desktop?
[03:30] <edbian> truepurple: I don't know what line or what file we're talking about.  If the guide doesn't specify I'd say the bottom is fine.  That is a guess
[03:30] <Pirsch> edbian: No, I downloaded in April and have used it many times. In fact, I am using it now on another laptop.
[03:30] <edbian> Pirsch: I have no idea why things are german.
[03:30] <edbian> :P
[03:30] <truepurple> edbian: Please check out the link I copy/pasted here
[03:30] <Pirsch> KM0201: I don't. I am curious as to whether or not I've been hacked.

[03:31] <KM0201> Pirsch: ..
[03:31] <edbian> truepurple: where in this thread are you reading...
[03:31] <truepurple> first post
[03:31] <truepurple> can't miss it
[03:31] <edbian> Pirsch: describe what behavior felt like someone else logged in again?
[03:32] <Pirsch> edbian: neither do I, but they weren't before I'd opened my gmail which always opens through the google.de. Something I wish didn't happen. I really know little about hacking and stuff like that.
[03:32] <randomusr_> what's the command to open a text file using gksudo?
[03:32] <edbian> truepurple: the echo line?  just put that at the end
[03:32] <truepurple> or the other one
[03:32] <edbian> truepurple: I think the file is empty anyway?
[03:32] <bazhang> randomusr_, gksudo gedit
[03:32] <edbian> truepurple: the two commands are equivalent
[03:32] <randomusr_> bazhang, thank you
[03:33] <Jon--> How do I set a hotkey to move to Workspace X on Ubuntu 11.04? I used to use Compiz to set this up. (ie <Super> + 4 moves to fourth workspace)

[03:33] <Pirsch> edbian: for example, my volume 'slide' window opened and my volume went up and down. A little while later it closed. My browser was switching tabs. It was as if I were looking around but I wasn't and my cursor wasn't moving.
[03:33] <truepurple> edbian: Thankyou
[03:34] <qin> Pirsch: Google have lastlog, same Ubuntu, which also have auth.log
[03:34] <edbian> Pirsch: That sounds exactly like someone logged in.
[03:34] <edbian> Pirsch: System -> Admin -> Remote login     Is that turned on or anything?
[03:34] <edbian> truepurple: sure
[03:34] <Pirsch> edbian: that's what I am saying, but it should be impossible
[03:35] <edbian> Pirsch: System -> Admin -> Remote Login...
[03:35] <Pirsch> edbian: I don't seem to have it on this rig
[03:35] <edbian> Pirsch: Is this 11.04 with unity?
[03:35] <truepurple> edbian: I need to restart before I I can appreciate the change, right?
[03:35] <edbian> truepurple: I have no idea.
[03:35] <Pirsch> edbian: I definitely did not activate it. It's 11.04 classic
[03:36] <edbian> truepurple: I don't know what your problem is or what the fix does.
[03:36] <vader1102> when someone has a moment.need a little help with wine
[03:36] <edbian> Pirsch: System -> Preferences -> Remote login ??  It's there somehwere...
[03:36] <truepurple> You would if you really read even just the first post
[03:36] <anadon> I can do with wine
[03:36] <truepurple> But thats fine
[03:36] <edbian> truepurple: :)
[03:36] <edbian> I'm lazy
[03:37] <vader1102> ok, I got a prog to install on it, just cannot get it to load as I need sudo rights for read write permission
[03:37] <Pirsch> edbian: "Nobody can access your desktop"
[03:37] <edbian> Pirsch: mmm, I would say that's pretty explicit.
[03:38] <edbian> Pirsch: Now, there are a couple ways to log into an Ubuntu computer remotely.  ALL of them require the user set something up on the target machine first.  So if you didn't set anything up. and this weird stuff wasn't a strange fluke I think you have a real problem.
[03:38] <Pirsch> edbia: yep, but I am suspicious of the Chinese. Google has already informed me twice my account had been accessed and then sent me, by phone, a new entry code.
[03:38] <edbian> Pirsch: How many times has this happened?
[03:39] <edbian> Pirsch: The Chinese can't just log into Linux machines whenever they want all willy nilly.  It simply isn't possible.
[03:39] <Pirsch> edbian: I just installed it last night. Actually, that is what I thought, that logging in would be impossible. It could have simply been a bad install.
[03:40] <edbian> Pirsch: If this is a new install I recommend installing again.  Can you get a new copy of Ubuntu from ubuntu.com ?
[03:40] <Pirsch> edbian: I'll just download a fresh iso and start over.
[03:40] <edbian> Pirsch: I think that's best
[03:40] <Pirsch> edbian, yes, it's no problem
[03:41] <mrdeb> doesanyone know how to edit gtk3 settinsg withs gui
[03:41] <bazhang> mrdeb, for gnome3?
[03:41] <Pirsch> edbian: I figured f there'd been something screwwy going on with hacking you guys would know.
[03:41] <randomusr_> is it possible to perform an upgrade at the command line in 10.04? when i run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, nothing happens
[03:42] <bazhang> randomusr_, dist-upgrade does not change version numbers
[03:42] <bazhang> !upgrade | randomusr_ please have a read
[03:42] <edbian> Pirsch: It sounds suspect.  We can investigate further if you'd like.
[03:42] <Pirsch> edbian: can I ask a kubuntu question here?
[03:42] <edbian> Pirsch: yes
[03:42] <Pirsch> edbian: let's try reinstalling and see if it happens again
[03:43] <edbian> Pirsch: sure
[03:43]  * edbian is curious to look at log files now
[03:43] <qin> Pirsch: You really could save logs for reading....
[03:43] <Pirsch> ebian: everytime I install kubuntu on either of my laptops I cannot connect to the net. With ubuntu, it is a breeze. Is there some known issue with the kubuntu net manager?
[03:44] <Pirsch> qin: how is that done?
[03:44] <edbian> Pirsch: I don't know of any.  There very well could be
[03:44] <Pirsch> edbian: ok, no prob
[03:44] <edbian> Pirsch: Just save the files on a USB stick or something.  /var/log/auth   <--- All of those would be interesting
[03:44] <edbian> Pirsch: and ps -e right now would be great
[03:44] <Pirsch> ok
[03:45] <faina> Pirsch a few versions ago, both ubuntu & kubuntu were both using NetworkManager in their guts -- I ended up using the ubuntu network manager client with kubuntu
[03:45] <Pirsch> edbian: ps -e? Is that a shell command?
[03:45] <Nobgul-bnc> yes
[03:45] <edbian> Pirsch: yeah, it lists all current processes
[03:45] <qin> Pirsch: sudo mkdir ~/logbackup && sudo cp -r /var/log/* ~/logbackup
[03:46] <randomusr_> thanks again bazhang. Know if any updates are currently available for 10.04?
[03:46] <Pirsch> edbian: ok, for now I'll call it a fluke, or corrupt install, and just do a reinstall. I'll try kubuntu and see if I can get online
[03:47] <edbian> Pirsch: I wanted to see ps -e!  :)
[03:47] <Pirsch> qin: thanks
[03:47] <edbian> please? :P
[03:47] <edbian> put it here: paste.ubuntu.com
[03:47] <Pirsch> edbian: ok
[03:47] <edbian> Pirsch: BTW, (offtopic I know).  I'm extremely jealous that you speak multiple languages fluently
[03:48] <qin> Pirsch: Also: sudo netstat -a will show quite a lot, as ps -e
[03:48] <Pirsch> edbian: I speak only one fluently. :D
[03:48] <edbian> english?
[03:49] <randomusr_> anyone else run updates for 10.04 recently?  are updates currently available?
[03:49] <edbian> randomusr_: yes they definitley are
[03:49] <edbian> randomusr_: there are updates for all not dead version of ubuntu almost everyday
[03:49] <Pirsch> edbian: silly question, how do I copy from shell?
[03:49] <randomusr_> edbian, then why might my synaptic not be showing then to me?
[03:50] <noisymouse> hi all, how can I make synaptic aware of old versions of packages (for downgrading)?
[03:50] <juancarlospaco> Hi, i need help with Bazaar, it says errors: bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.
[03:50] <edbian> Pirsch: ctrl + shift + C
[03:50] <Pirsch> edbian: never mind, got it
[03:50] <edbian> randomusr_: sudo apt-get safe-upgrade
[03:51] <faina> randomusr_ you might need to do apt-get update
[03:51] <randomusr_> invalid operation - safe-upgrade
[03:51] <randomusr_> faina, did that already
[03:52] <juancarlospaco> does anyone know about bazaar ?
[03:52] <faina> randomusr_ there hasn't been 10.04 updates for a few days, and most of them tend to be from security. is that enabled in your sources.list?
[03:52] <edbian> randomusr_: sudo apt-get upgrade   ?
[03:52] <faina> juancarlospaco I know a little bit about bazaar
[03:53] <faina> whats the url you're using for your pull/update?
[03:53] <juancarlospaco> fai it dont let me upload files
[03:53] <randomusr_> I think i just figured it out and it appears that all packages are in fact current
[03:53] <juancarlospaco> bzr push lp:~juancarlospaco/+junk/test
[03:53] <edbian> randomusr_: yay!  \o/
[03:53] <faina> do you have your ssh key setup on launchpad?
[03:53] <juancarlospaco> yes
[03:53] <juancarlospaco> bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.
[03:54] <juancarlospaco> how can i check ?
[03:54] <faina> can you check something out from launchpad?
[03:54] <bsmith093> how would i go about bulk renaming specified folders in a specific directory, to the album field of the mp3's they contain
[03:54] <juancarlospaco> its empty
[03:54] <faina> yes but you could check out someone elses project... just to check to make sure you have working connectivity
[03:55] <edbian> bsmith093: tagtool  it's in the repos
[03:55] <piero> Can you tell me a way or a program to recursively re-encode my mp3s from 380 to 128kbps? (They will be stored in a SD disk for mobile only use)

[03:55] <nhr_> Hi facing problems with evolution. When I try to create new task, system greys out and nothing happens
[03:55] <faina> Ooooh! its something with ssh
[03:55] <venol> helo, how to set crontab not send mail notification to the owner script?
[03:55] <Gryllida> nhr_: How do you try to do that?
[03:56] <nhr_> Gryllida: Just went to task menu and click on new
[03:56] <qin> bsmith093: Or: for i in *; do ....
[03:56] <juancarlospaco> what
[03:56] <faina> juan, if your known_hosts has an old entry or wants you to approve connecting, bzr wont show you that ssh is prompting you
[03:57] <nhr_> Gryllida: This is brand new install of 11.04 and only thing that is configured is google email and caelndar
[03:57] <bsmith093> no, bulk rename the **folders** to the album fields of the mp3s in them
[03:57] <juancarlospaco> may i delete know hosts ? faina

[03:57] <wslayer> my vga isn`t working, i did a netboot install
[03:57] <faryshta> Hello. Which software can I use to modify a .pdf file?
[03:57] <faina> juancarlospaco You can delete the known hosts file, though it might be better to just move it out of the way for the moment.
[03:58] <Gryllida> faryshta: Search for "PDF edit" in software center.  It's called "PDFedit" if I recall correctly.
[03:58] <qin> bsmith093: cowbell? easytag?
[03:58] <juancarlospaco> i deleted know_hosts faina
[03:58] <Gryllida> faryshta: "PDF editor".
[03:58] <faryshta> Gryllida, thank you very much.
[03:59] <faina> juancarlospaco did you try bzr launchpad-login?
[03:59] <juancarlospaco> faina:  i try bzr branch lp:exaile/0.3.0 shows the same error
[03:59] <Gryllida> faryshta: Of course.
[03:59] <juancarlospaco> bzr launchpad-login juancarlospaco returns nothing faina
[03:59] <juancarlospaco> no error i guest

[04:00] <faina> Yes. Though now I'm confused, I was able to do a bzr branch without a problem

[04:00] <juancarlospaco> faina:  theres no check-keys command or something like that ?
[04:00] <nhr_> Seems like evolution greys out the window even for contact - spends long time like may be minute thinking about something
[04:01] <faina> greenlight, you might need to reconfigure grub / boot loader, but as long as windows doesn't overwrite ubuntu it should be fine
[04:01] <wslayer> i have to use terminal but sometimes the system crashes after grub stage too
[04:01] <Gryllida> randomusr_: You would need to have the system installed for that.  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade
[04:01] <faina> juancarlosacp, not to my knowledge
[04:01] <`greenlight> faina, can you please be specific or at least guide me where would i reconfigure grub, or how?
[04:02] <venol> Gryllida: Thanks for your help. n_n
[04:03] <`greenlight> faina, thanks for the info, highly appreciated
[04:03] <bazhang> !grub2 | `greenlight
[04:03] <faina> Greenlight, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot has some docs on recovering grub

[04:03] <`greenlight> thanks bazhang and faina
[04:04] <wslayer> how do i fix the vga problem?
[04:04] <orngjce223> Okay, I just restarted and my touchpad no longer works. I am fairly sure I haven't touched anything. Could someone point me in the right direction?
[04:04] <juancarlospaco> faina:  Permission denied (publickey).
[04:05] <juancarlospaco> why ?
[04:05] <faina> juancarlospaco that seems like its not prompting for unlocking the ssh  key? do you have more than one ssh key?
[04:06] <juancarlospaco> no
[04:07] <Gryllida> juancarlospaco: Try to ssh with the '-vvv' (verbose) option, please.
[04:07] <Knat> I am trying to install ubuntu, i get to the screen where I have the option "Install Ubuntu" but when I select it it just freezes, I've left it alone for about 10 min now but I don't think its doing anything, can someone tell me what i can do to at least get an error message?
[04:07] <faina> can you ssh to launchpad?
[04:08] <bazhang> Knat, md5 the iso, reburn at low speed, do the disk integrity check, be sure to use decent quality media
[04:08] <juancarlospaco> OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-1ubuntu3, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010 that faina ?

[04:08] <wslayer> can anyone help me out with my vga?
[04:08] <Gryllida> Knat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall#Troubleshooting
[04:08] <faina> I didn't know you could log into launchpad
[04:08] <Gryllida> Knat: (Or what bazhang said)
[04:08] <bazhang> wslayer, ask a fuller question with details. just repeating that will get zero response
[04:09] <faina> I tried sftp -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to test my launchpad connection
[04:10] <update> how can i figure out if someone is stealling my wifi
[04:10] <russellsteapot> I am trying to move files and it tells me "permission denied" How do I get permission? Thanks for the help.
[04:10] <bazhang> update, use wpa2
[04:10] <KM0201> russellsteapot: sudo mv /path/to/file/filename /path/to/destination
[04:11] <Knat> update: it depends on your router, some routers have statistics which will show you what IPs have been connecting and how much bandwidth they are using, but best to just secure your network
[04:11] <venol> Gryllida: I'm sorry, but the problem still same. script is running successfull, But mail notification still send from cron
[04:11] <juancarlospaco> faina: http://paste.ubuntu.com/637267/
[04:11] <update> how would i view those statistics
[04:12] <Knat> update: read the manual for your router to see if it supports it
[04:12] <KG> Do any of you know how to manually add /dev/dsp_in to the Sound Preferences ?
[04:12] <faina> juancarlospaco that looks like launchpad isn't recognizing your ssh key
[04:14] <bazhang> update, in your router window. via a browser. not really an ubuntu issue. use wpa2 to secure in future
[04:14] <faina> juancarlospaco I think you need to go to launchpad.net/~<yourid> and verify that the ssh key is registered
[04:14] <faina> There's a ssh keys section on your information page
[04:14] <wslayer> how do I configure my vga through terminal?
[04:15] <russellsteapot> KM0201 it tells me there is no such directory as home/computer/downloads
[04:15] <KM0201> russellsteapot: try /home/username/Downloads  (case sensitive)
[04:15] <bazhang> wslayer, please clarify what you are trying to do, with full details.
[04:15] <i2iot> Is there any professional video editing software for Ubuntu?

[04:18] <nhr_> Hi, when I click on create new task in evolution nothing happens
[04:18] <venol> Gryllida: Thanks, now it works.. n_n I Will closed case on ubuntuforums.
[04:18] <faina> You should try the bzr push again...
[04:19] <russellsteapot> KM0201 I just tried putting Downloads in caps, it still tells me there is no such file or directory
[04:19] <faina> (and the sftp command, just to make sure that it recognizes your key
[04:19] <juancarlospaco> is working faina
[04:19] <faina> yay!
[04:19] <juancarlospaco> thanks
[04:19] <faina> youre welcome, and have a good day
[04:19] <KM0201> russellsteapot: what are you typing for your downloads directory?   it should be /home/username/downloads
[04:20] <juancarlospaco> i think the problem is a migrated /home
[04:20] <KM0201> russellsteapot: try this... in terminal type cd ~/Downloads  and that should change you to your downloads folder
[04:20] <bazhang> russellsteapot, what does ls show in terminal
[04:20] <KM0201> russellsteapot: make sure there's a space after cd.
[04:20] <nhr_> Is there someplace where evolution keeps the logs - sometimes when I click on create task, it grayout and then nothing happens
[04:20] <KM0201> russellsteapot: then all you have to do is cd mv /path/to/folder
[04:20] <wslayer> bazhang: i`m trying to make my nvidia card work cause it`s crashing X and i don`t want to use console, i want to use desktop graphical interface.
[04:21] <nhr_> Othertimes nothing happens, but system does not grey out
[04:21] <KM0201> woops... sudo mv filename /path/to/folder
[04:21] <Gryllida> venol: Nice.
[04:21] <russellsteapot> KM0201 I was missing the initial / before /home. Thank you for your help
[04:22] <KM0201> russellsteapot: np.. i figured it was something simple.
[04:23] <russellsteapot> KM0201 is there a way to easily copy where a folder is like in Windows when you click on the location and it becomes text you can cut and paste?
[04:23] <KM0201> russellsteapot: drag the folder intoa  terminal.. it'll put the whole path there for you.. highlight, and copy
[04:24] <KM0201> russellsteapot: thats how i always do it for folers w/ long paths
[04:24] <edbian> KM0201: no it doesn't...
[04:24] <KM0201> edbian: sure it does
[04:24] <edbian> that's amazing
[04:24] <KM0201> i do it all the time
[04:24] <KM0201> edbian: you never knew that?
[04:24] <edbian> no!
[04:24] <edbian> thank you!
[04:24] <KM0201> edbian: i tell newbs to do that all the time when i suspect they are in the wrong terminal directory..lol
[04:25] <russellsteapot> thanks
[04:25] <edbian> ha
[04:25] <edbian> well it doesn't switch for them...
[04:25] <edbian> KM0201: It doesn't switch the CWD.   I'm ignorant to technologies about data backup and redundancy. Is there something I can install on Ubuntu that will keep two HDDs identical?
[04:31] <KM0201> qin: yes... the idea is when someone is trying to run a terminal command on a certain directory, and its not working.. usually, its cuz the newb is in the wrong terminal directory... so the idea, is that puts them into the correct directory.
[04:31] <KM0201> qin: most of them, can use the GUI to navigate to a directory... doing it via terminal, is another issue (again, for some, not all)
[04:31] <paissad> guys, when i plug my usb key .. i cannot see it, and here is the result of "dmesg | tail"
[04:31] <paissad> http://dpaste.com/562359/
[04:32] <edbian> paissad: does it show up in 'computer' ?
[04:32] <paissad> i tried "mount /dev/sdi /mnt/usb" but i have mount: no medium found on /dev/sdi
[04:32] <paissad> edbian, no
[04:32] <qin> KM0201: paissad /dev/sdb1 number is important
[04:33] <qin> paissad: ^^^
[04:33] <ubuntunewbie> hello everyone, can anyone help me with my networking problem? I put in a new router and my ubuntu laptop shows my wired network as disconnected. I know there's a new gateway address to change on my laptop but i don't know where it should be changed. I made a few changes to interfaces and i am still unable to ping my router address
[04:33] <edbian> paissad: did you guess at the /dev/sdi  name?  Where did you get i from?
[04:33] <qin> KM0201: Ok, it happened to me be shocked by pwd output few times ;)
[04:34] <paissad> qin, why dev/sdb1 ? ... sdb is absolutely not my usb key :)
[04:34] <edbian> paissad: You can figure the correct /dev/sdXY letter and number by looking at sudo fdisk -l
[04:34] <wslayer> dmesg produced this message about my vga "no driver support for vblank timestamp memory"
[04:34] <qin> paissad: sdi1 then
[04:34] <edbian> paissad: You definitely need a number
[04:34] <edbian> paissad: why i?
[04:34] <paissad> edbian, i get it from the dmesg output i pasted above ;)
[04:34] <KM0201> qin: :)   it actually works well.. like i said.. since usually folsk aren't putting in the proper path to run a command, or something simple, thats an easy way to get them into the path
[04:34] <paissad> http://dpaste.com/562359/
[04:34] <ubuntunewbie> my router address is at <IP_ADDRESS> but when i ping it, it replies from <IP_ADDRESS> saying destination host unreachable
[04:34]  * edbian reads closer
[04:35] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: Can you log into <IP_ADDRESS> on your web browser?
[04:35] <paissad> ls -l /dev/sd* => http://dpaste.com/562360/
[04:35] <paissad> edbian, qin
[04:36] <ubuntunewbie> edbian: no it can't get to it.
[04:36] <edbian> paissad: whatever.  sudo mount /dev/sdi1 /mnt/
[04:36] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: Than that is not the ip address of the router.  Why did you think it was?
[04:36] <paissad> edbian, i tried that already .. and does not work (normal)
[04:36] <paissad> mount /dev/sdi1 /mnt/usb/
[04:36] <paissad> mount: special device /dev/sdi1 does not exist
[04:37] <ubuntunewbie> edbian: the router is a timecapsule that i've configured to be on that address. I can connect to it via my windows7 pc and my macbook pro
[04:37] <edbian> paissad: The drive shows up in gparted ?
[04:37] <paissad> maybe the usb key is dead
[04:37] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: ... are you from the future?
[04:37] <MaRk-I> paissad: sdi or sd1?
[04:37] <Tweaky> hey everyone. got a bit of a problem :D no idea how i did this or how it happened but on my unity top bar i no longer have the volume control speaker icon any more, anyone no how i can get it back?
[04:37] <paissad> MaRk-I, i not 1 and not l
[04:37] <ubuntunewbie> edbian: no its just a apple time capsule (all in one wlan router + network drive)
[04:38] <MaRk-I> paissad:  check again you typed /dev/sdi1  <<<
[04:38] <paissad> MaRk-I, just take a look a the paste http://dpaste.com/562359/
[04:38] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: oh, neato!  How do you usually configure this router?
[04:39] <paissad> MaRk-I, yes i typed /dev/sdi1 and before that i typed /dev/sdi
[04:39] <qin> paissad: sudo fdisk -l ?
[04:39] <paissad> MaRk-I, none of them does work
[04:39] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: oh heck.  Do this: nmap <IP_ADDRESS>/24   that will scan <IP_ADDRESS> - <IP_ADDRESS> and tell you everything that responds
[04:39] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: You can probably figure it out from there.
[04:39] <ubuntunewbie> edbian: i can configure it via the airport utility on my macbook pro. the ubuntu laptop was previously connected via my modem router and had a static ip. i just need to reconfigure it to connect to the new router. Ok thanks i'll try that
[04:40] <ChogyDan> question: how exactly do I start reporting a bug on a project?
[04:40] <paissad> qin, the disk does not show with "fdisk -l"
[04:41] <Tweaky> does anyone know who i could ask for help with unity? (is there a unity channel)
[04:41] <ZykoticK9> ChogyDan, get a Launchpad account then run  "ubuntu-bug <package>"
[04:41] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: that command won't work if the ubuntu laptop is not on the network (with a valid IP)
[04:41] <paissad> qin, "fdisk -l"  http://dpaste.com/562361/
[04:41] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: Is the laptop online?
[04:41] <edbian> Tweaky: just ask in here
[04:42] <ChogyDan> ZykoticK9: I
[04:42] <ubuntunewbie> edbian: no unfortunately not, and nmap isn't installed so i can't grab it from apt-get
[04:42] <edbian> qin: There is no USB stick there (which is like.. bad)
[04:42] <qin> paissad: scsi drive, hm, no clue... How old is it?
[04:42] <Tweaky> edbian: alright ty. my problem is the volume meter on the unity top bar is gone. is there a way to fix this?
[04:42] <ChogyDan> ZykoticK9: Im trying to report against a specific team on launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~ck-patchset   So Im not sure if that would work
[04:42] <paissad> qin, almost 2 years
[04:42] <ubuntunewbie> edbian: is there a way i can check the ethernet connection? my gui sys wired network disconnected
[04:43] <ZykoticK9> ChogyDan, ya, i'm affraid PPAs are handled differently!  sorry don't know then.  good luck.
[04:43] <MaRk-I> paissad: I don't see any /sdi there
[04:44] <paissad> MaRk-I, indeed ^^ ... i only see /dev/sdi when i plug the usb key, .. and normally, i should have /dev/sdi[0-9] after the plug
[04:44] <qin> paissad: Either is raid setup preventing device or device is dead, you need one more machine to test drive and one more drive to...
[04:45] <paissad> qin, actually when i plug the usb key on my macbook, i don't see it (that's why i supposed that the drive is dead)
[04:45] <paissad> but i why do i see the message in "dmseg" ?
[04:47] <zelozelos> wuts up with the 64bit version and flash whys it still so buggy or is there something i need to do to make it work better?
[04:47] <edbian> ubuntunewbie: plug the wire into it?
[04:47] <qin> paissad: Do you have any scsi devices?
[04:47] <ubuntunewbie> edbian: yes it is connected via wire
[04:48] <paissad> qin, yes i do
[04:49] <qin> paissad: And access time is?
[04:49] <paissad> Jul  3 05:47 /dev/sdi (2 min ago)
[04:50] <paissad> qin,
[04:50] <Alexander> hey guys
[04:50] <Alexander> are there any video converters for ubuntu?
[04:50] <bazhang> Alexander, handbrake
[04:50] <Alexander> i want to turn my .avi file into a .mp4 file for my ipod
[04:51] <Alexander> bazhang, where can i get handbrake?
[04:51] <bazhang> Alexander, handbrake default settings do exactly that
[04:51] <qin> paissad: So you would want to search there for your drive /dev/scsi
[04:51] <bazhang> Alexander, their homepage or PPA
[04:51] <Alexander> PPA?
[04:51] <bazhang> !handbrake | Alexander
[04:51] <Alexander> thank you!
[04:52] <bazhang> Alexander, ubuntu personal package archice, like a normal repo, but maintained by 3rd parties, and at your own risk
[04:52] <bazhang> err archive
[04:52] <juancarlospaco> i ask a Question, does paste.ubuntu.com got a Public API ???  (like pastebin)
[04:52] <Alexander> wait its dangerous?
[04:53] <bazhang> Alexander, just be aware of who the maintainers are
[04:53] <bazhang> juancarlospaco, like from the terminal? pastebinit you mean?
[04:53] <Alexander> hey whats the name of 10.10?
[04:53] <juancarlospaco> bazhang: works with paste.ubuntu.com ???
[04:53] <eliotn> hi guys
[04:54] <bazhang> !10.10 | Alexander
[04:54] <Alexander> Thank you, again.
[04:54] <timClicks> is there a documented way of installing ubuntu as a dual boot while preserving a windows recovery partition?
[04:54] <Alexander> So, I just add ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases to my sources?
[04:54] <ZykoticK9> Alexander, if you want MP4 output use handbrake, pretty sure the ffmpeg built into ubuntu still can's output the required AAC codec (bug may not still apply?)
[04:55] <bazhang> Alexander, theres a command to do that: sudo add-apt-repository , its on the ppa page on the exact syntax
[04:55] <bazhang> juancarlospaco, not to my knowledge, its a pastebin service though
[04:55] <Tweaky> hey everyone. got a bit of a problem :D no idea how i did this or how it happened but on my unity top bar i no longer have the volume control speaker icon any more, anyone no how i can get it back? if i run gnome-panel the icon is missing but when i click the empty space where it shuold be it opens up, but says "label empty" and the volume adjust is greyed out.
[04:56] <juancarlospaco> yeah but i dont like it, it uses flash parts and i dont have flash, and letter s too small
[04:56] <corrytonapple> Does anyone know how to apply a theme to the login screen?  Not the main one, but the one you get after you put your computer to sleep and then wake it.
[04:56] <juancarlospaco> thats why i ask if theres an api, thanks anyways
[04:56] <Alexander> bazhang, after i add the repo, what do i do?
[04:57] <Elssha> hi all; Is there any way to activate the higher desktop effects (compiz) if the appearance manager won't let you activate them?
[04:57] <bazhang> Alexander, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk
[04:57] <ZykoticK9> corrytonapple, that's still controlled by gdm - which doesn't allow much customization these days
[04:58] <corrytonapple> ZykoticK9:  I tried the whole GTK file thing, and it did not apply.  I logged out and then back in, still to no use.
[04:58] <ZykoticK9> corrytonapple, best of luck man - i have 0 idea.  never messed with it.  good luck.
[04:58] <corrytonapple> ZykoticK9:  Thanks!
[04:58] <Alexander> Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. <----what does this mean?
[04:58] <Alexander> should i do it?
[04:59] <bazhang> Alexander, removes unneeded packages
[04:59] <Alexander> alright thanks
[04:59] <Elssha> I'm running ubuntu 10.04 if that makes any difference...
[04:59] <ZykoticK9> Alexander, if you get a message about "no longer required" then /probably/
[05:00] <Alexander> alex@alex-desktop:~$ apt-get autoremove
[05:00] <Alexander> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[05:00] <Alexander> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[05:00] <ZykoticK9> Alexander, sudo
[05:00] <Alexander> what does that mean? sorry for the flood. :/
[05:00] <bazhang> Alexander, you have another instance of apt running. let it finish
[05:00]  * Elssha wants desktop cube and emerald window manager
[05:00] <Elssha> anyone?
[05:00] <Alexander> alright thanks
[05:01] <bazhang> Elssha, emerald is no longer supported nor maintained
[05:01] <ajeffri> Alexander, that also happens if you are not running apt-get as root
[05:01] <bazhang> !ccsm | Elssha for the cube
[05:01] <corrytonapple> Elssha your hardware may not be good enough to activate them.  Try posting in the UF for help.  That is where I have to stop.  I do not know much about that stuff
[05:01] <juancarlospaco> bazhang: i Confirm that tool works with paste.ubuntu.com !
[05:01] <ajeffri> you would do sudo apt-get autoremove
[05:01] <ZykoticK9> bazhang, ajeffri "alex@alex-desktop:~$ apt-get ..."
[05:01] <Elssha> i figure the hardware isn't up to par, but was hoping there might be a workaround
[05:02] <Elssha> it's a netbook >_<
[05:02] <qin> paissad: What filesystem supposed to be on the drive?
[05:02] <bazhang> Elssha, also ask in #compiz with the details of your card
[05:02] <paissad> qin, FAT i think
[05:02] <paissad> usually that's what i used for usb drives qin
[05:02] <Elssha> in that case, anyone know how i can make the desktops cycle?
[05:02] <bazhang> Elssha, with ccsm, I just linked you
[05:03] <Elssha> aka, if i keep going right i'll end up back at 1
[05:03] <tutysra> nMod
[05:03] <Elssha> ah okay, will look into it ^_^
[05:03] <Elssha> thanks ^_^
[05:03] <qin> paissad: Thats one nice thread: http://goo.gl/n3kPi
[05:04] <qin> paissad: They coming with module theory.
[05:04] <Alexander> is m4v the same as mp4?
[05:04] <Alexander> because handbrake wants to make my video m4v
[05:04] <bazhang> Alexander, choose the setting for ipods
[05:05] <Alexander> but i have an ipod touch
[05:05] <Alexander> not an ipod 5g
[05:06] <corrytonapple> There is no iPod 5G.  :)
[05:06] <Elssha> there is a classic 5g >_>
[05:07] <Elssha> i installed the simple ccsm
[05:08] <Elssha> it will let me change stuff but none of what i pick actually shows up
[05:08] <corrytonapple> Well yeah, but not on the Touch like he was refering to.
[05:09] <Elssha> it still won't let me enable the effects
[05:09] <Elssha> >_<
[05:10] <Elssha> is there any way to tell the built-in 'vanilla' desktop switcher that pressing right on the rightmost desktop = go to desktop 1?
[05:11] <Elssha> is there any way to tell the built-in 'vanilla' desktop switcher that pressing right on the rightmost desktop = go to desktop 1?
[05:11] <paissad> qin, i just think the drive is dead :/ .. i even have not number /dev/sdi[0-9] .. when i plug another drive, i have sdj1
[05:12] <paissad> no* number
[05:12] <qin> paissad: Well, you have usd vendor id, maybe bug?
[05:13] <qin> usb*
[05:13] <paissad> qin, i used to see the drive without any kind of problems , i used it in the same machine i plugged it, i used it in my mac too .. and now i just get problems, no machine can see it (do you trust coincidences ?)
[05:14] <qin> paissad: No.
[05:14] <truepurple> How do I uninstall something?
[05:14] <paissad> there were a few datas i did not backup yet :/ unfortunately ^^
[05:15] <update> how can i view my wifi from my terminal
[05:15] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, "sudo apt-get remove foo" from a terminal, where foo is your package name
[05:15] <nit-wit> truepurple, you have apt-get the software center or synaptic
[05:15] <paissad> i never had a usb storage device that even lived up to 2 years ^^
[05:15] <KM0201> update: what do you mean "view your wifi".. view networks? view your device?
[05:15] <qin> update: iwconfig ?
[05:15] <update> networks
[05:16] <truepurple> nit-wit: Software center doesn't see it
[05:16] <nit-wit> truepurple, what is it?
[05:16] <truepurple> ZykoticK9:  HOw do I determine the package name?
[05:16] <qin> update: sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning
[05:16] <truepurple> avast!
[05:16] <paissad> do usb storage devices live (usually) less that 2 years ? or am i just "unlucky"
[05:16] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, "apt-cache search foo" where foo is the package name
[05:16] <paissad> less than*
[05:16] <KM0201> update: .. well i see qin beat me to it.. but.. yeah, what he said.. :)
[05:16] <nit-wit> truepurple, are you having a problem with it opening up
[05:16] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, doubt you'll find avast! - unless you added a ppa or repo
[05:17] <truepurple> ZykoticK9:  HOw do I determine the package name?
[05:17] <truepurple> nit-wit: Yes I am, that is why I wish to uninstall and and reinstall it
[05:17] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, "apt-cache search foo" where foo is the package name/partical name - from a terminal
[05:17] <nit-wit> truepurple, I can fix it or you can remove it it shows in synaptic.
[05:18] <truepurple> ZykoticK9: What does "where foo is the package name/partical name" mean?
[05:18] <nit-wit> truepurple, I have avast and saw your earlier posts
[05:18] <TSG> update,  type sudo iwconfig
[05:18] <TSG> in terminal
[05:19] <qin> TSG: Not here anymore?
[05:19] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, example "apt-cache search firefo" will probably find firefox - you might want to try "apt-cache search avast" and see if it turns up (which unless you've added a ppa or repo - it won't)
[05:19] <truepurple> nit-wit: I looked in synamptic, I found something under the name avast, but the descriptions and file names within didn't fit, plus none of it was installed according to synaptic
[05:19] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, if you did add a repo/ppa - be sure to run "sudo apt-get update" to update your database
[05:20] <truepurple> ZykoticK9: What is "repo/ppa"?
[05:20] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, how did you install  avaste?
[05:20] <nit-wit> truepurple, you installed the deb, it is a easy fix, or try the method ZykoticK9 suggests.
[05:21] <tonyyarusso> !repository | truepurple
[05:22] <magn3ts> How do I rid myself of the buggy, annoying messaging menu?
[05:22] <magn3ts> evolution, empathy and gwibber, I couldn't name three tools I'd more prefer were as far away from my compuetr as possible
[05:22] <truepurple> ZykoticK9: I downloaded it and typed "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb"
[05:23] <ejo> magn3ts: just uninstall empathy?
[05:23] <ZykoticK9> magn3ts, search for indicator-messanger or something similar
[05:23] <Phase> Does anyone know of an application that will let me emulate the chrous effect with my headset? It would echo what you're saying into the mic into the headphones on the headset, preffrably with adjustable delay and pitch?
[05:23] <magn3ts> already removed all the apps that use that menu except ubuntu one.
[05:23] <ejo> ah.
[05:23] <magn3ts> Gwibber's broadcast entry funnily enough remains
[05:23] <truepurple> ZykoticK9: What is "repo/ppa"?
[05:24] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, that won't show up in apt-cache apt-get exactly.  "dpkg -l | grep avaste" might show it with ii meaning installed
[05:24] <magn3ts> ZykoticK9, thank you, I assumed it was part of the complete indicators package but that's not the case.
[05:24] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, i doubt that program has an ubuntu repo (it might) - but i personally think AV on linux is mainly non-required
[05:25] <magn3ts> I would actually recommend against AV.
[05:25] <ZykoticK9> magn3ts, glad to help.  when i used empathy/gwibber i found that that indicator kinda handy - personally
[05:25] <magn3ts> You're better off configuring iptables and locking down SSH than you are installing avast.
[05:25] <magn3ts> ZykoticK9, I tried for nearly two full months to use Unity, Empathy and Gwibber.
[05:26] <truepurple> ZykoticK9:  That showed it, but how does that get me to the point of uninstalling it?
[05:26] <nit-wit> truepurple, the "avast4workstation " in synaptic is all you have to remove.
[05:26] <magn3ts> And I really did immerse myself in them. Gwibber was okay, Empathy is just crazy buggy and lacks basic features that Pidgin had Day One, Unity is still a mixed bag for me.
[05:26] <faina> Empathy's video conferencing works, unlike pidgin
[05:27] <faina> OTOH, ubuntu's version empathy can't block contacts
[05:27] <nit-wit> truepurple, here is an older link but the commands are correct. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=39069.0
[05:27] <truepurple> nit-wit: Synaptic knows of no such program
[05:27] <truepurple> nit-wit: As I mentioned before
[05:27] <magn3ts> can't block contacts, can't remember new passwords on accounts, can't pop open new windows, can't play an alert sound on new IM...
[05:27] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, you might be able to use "sudo dpkg -r PACKAGENAME"
[05:27] <magn3ts> `sudo apt-get -f install` usually works if the pkg is in a bad state.
[05:28] <juancarlospaco> :D
[05:29] <truepurple> magn3ts: It said "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:29] <truepurple> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"
[05:29] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, close any other synaptic, USC, update windows first
[05:30] <magn3ts> trucMuche, close synaptic then try again.
[05:30] <truepurple> Reading package lists... Done
[05:30] <truepurple> Building dependency tree
[05:30] <truepurple> Reading state information... Done

[05:30] <FloodBot1> truepurple: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:30] <truepurple> magn3ts: What does that mean?
[05:30] <magn3ts> truepurple, what's the problem?
[05:30] <magn3ts> truepurple, it means everything looks okay to dpkg/apt.
[05:30] <truepurple> Trying to uninstall a corrupted program
[05:30] <magn3ts> are you sure it's installed?
[05:31] <magn3ts> `sudo apt-get remove <name-of-package>`
[05:31] <truepurple> I am sure it's not
[05:31] <magn3ts> ?
[05:31] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, can you run "sudo apt-get -f install" succesfully?
[05:31] <magn3ts> If it's not installed... don't worry about it.
[05:31] <truepurple> It is installed
[05:31] <magn3ts> <magn3ts> are you sure it's installed?
 I am sure it's not
[05:32] <magn3ts> anyway, that command will remove it, if it is installed.
[05:32] <magn3ts> `dpkg -l | grep <packagename>` will tell you if it's installed and what version, etc.
[05:32] <truepurple> oops, misunderstood you, I thought you said uninstalled
[05:32] <magn3ts> its okay
[05:33] <truepurple> magn3ts: Yes, using that command, it sees it
[05:33] <magn3ts> sudo apt-get remove <pkgname> then
[05:33] <Xunie> I was trying to update and it stuck at running update-initramfs.
[05:33] <Xunie> For 2.6.35-30-generic to be precise.
[05:33] <truepurple> magn3ts: Package name being the name of the file I downloaded?
[05:33] <magn3ts> Xunie, what do you mean update? upgrade packages or upgrade to a new version of ubuntu?
[05:34] <Xunie> Packages
[05:34] <Xunie> After that I was gonna upgrade my whole distro.
[05:34] <magn3ts> truepurple, uh, it's the name of the package. so whatever you used with the `dpkg -l` command.
[05:34] <rcmaehl> Is there a package that I can use to check for errors within ubuntu
[05:34] <rcmaehl> b/c I have many
[05:34] <magn3ts> Xunie, you didn't do any of the steps for the full upgrade did you?
[05:34] <rcmaehl> errors
[05:34] <magn3ts> Like change things in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[05:34] <Xunie> magn3ts, no, not at all.
[05:34] <magn3ts> rchavik, what errors?
[05:34] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, could you paste the one line with the dpkg output?
[05:34] <magn3ts> Xunie, I'm not sure then :/
[05:35] <magn3ts> ZykoticK9, do you know why truepurple is calling it "a corrupt installation" ?
[05:35] <Xunie> magn3ts, actually, running dpkg --configure -a doesn't do anything!
[05:35] <magn3ts> ZykoticK9, if dpkg installed it and apt-get isn't errored out, idk what the problem is.
[05:35] <ZykoticK9> magn3ts, not really
[05:35] <Xunie> Well, it does, but it still hats at update-initramfs. :(
[05:35] <truepurple> magn3ts: What do you mean dpkg output?
[05:35] <magn3ts> Xunie, :s yeah not sure :s
[05:35] <ZykoticK9> magn3ts, mystery here too
[05:35] <magn3ts> truepurple, we need to start over.
[05:35] <magn3ts> truepurple, neither ZykoticK9 or I understand what's going on.
[05:35] <magn3ts> truepurple, why do you think the package did not install properly?
[05:36] <truepurple> I call it corrupt because when i try to run it, it says "An error occured in avast! engine: Invalid argument"
[05:36] <magn3ts> truepurple, yeah, that means you didn't configure it... not that it's corrupt.
[05:36] <magn3ts> truepurple, there are probably configuration directions/guide/instructions on Avast!'s page.
[05:36] <truepurple> magn3ts: And I didn't say it didn't install properly
[05:36] <magn3ts> truepurple, but again, I'd recommend that you spend your security efforts elsewhere.
[05:36] <rcmaehl> Is there a package that I can use to check for errors within ubuntu b/c I have many errors. EG: Application menu entries and open with options that aren't installed
[05:37] <magn3ts> truepurple, you called it corrupt more than once. I don't know what that means, but it doesn't mean, I didn't configure it right ....
[05:37] <truepurple> magn3ts: That is another discussion, I still have no way to remove it
[05:37] <magn3ts> truepurple, again... `sudo apt-get remove <pkgname>`
[05:37] <truepurple> magn3ts: That you didn't?
[05:37] <truepurple> magn3ts: What is package name I asked
[05:37] <magn3ts> I don't know, you're the one that installed it >_<
[05:38] <magn3ts> `dpkg -l | grep avast`
[05:38] <magn3ts> should tell you the pkg name hopefully.
[05:38] <truepurple> magn3ts: I asked, is that the name of the file I downloaded?
[05:38] <magn3ts> I don't know, I didn't install it, I didn't package it... they can name it "super-awesome-pkg-1.0" for all I know
[05:38] <truepurple> avast4workstation:i386                1.3.0                                      avast! antivirus for Linux
[05:38] <truepurple> Is it the first part that would be the package name?
[05:38] <magn3ts> `sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation`
[05:39] <maahes> truepurple: Are you running a mail server?
[05:39] <magn3ts> truepurple, yes, you probably need to leave off the architecture--- ":i386"
[05:39] <truepurple> maahes: No
[05:39] <maahes> truepurple: then why do you need avast on linux?
[05:39] <magn3ts> maahes, lol, we've already kinda talked about that, right now he just wants to get avast out.
[05:40] <nit-wit> truepurple, this this command will show what is installed.   dpkg --get-selections | grep avast
[05:40] <truepurple> magn3ts: It doesn't find the package to remove it
[05:40] <magn3ts> nit-wit, we already did that
[05:40] <magn3ts> truepurple, what do you mean?
[05:40] <gamax92> http://www.mygame.com/game/solar-chiefs
[05:40] <nit-wit> magn3ts, cool I was busy.;)
[05:40] <maahes> ah, if it has an install script that shows where it's unpacking the files, you can go to those dirs and manually delete them I guess.
[05:40] <magn3ts> `sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation`   or `sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation:i386`
[05:40] <truepurple> sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation
[05:40] <faina> Avast..:i386 is a different architecture
[05:40] <truepurple> pkg: warning: there's no installed package matching avast
[05:40] <truepurple> a@myubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg -r sudo apt-get remove avast4workstationsudo apt-get remove avast4workstation
[05:40] <truepurple> dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching apt-get
[05:40] <truepurple> and so on
[05:40] <faina> I think you need to include the :i386 to tell apt that its not a normal package
[05:41] <jeeves_moss> how do I get my NTPd server to service global NTP requests?
[05:41] <magn3ts> truepurple, that's not the command I told you to run
[05:41] <magn3ts> truepurple, ... just look at it....
[05:41] <maahes> truepurple: what type of package is this, and how did you install it?
[05:41] <magn3ts> guys, hold on, I know what's going on and have instructions for him, but he's having a hard time because of conflicting methods.
