[13:49] <brontosaurusrex> p1n9v1n, based on the faq no, since it uses xine engine only for DVB
[13:50] <ben123> Does anyone know how I can check which kind of memory I have, i.e. DDR1, DDR2 and how many slots the machine has, thx
[13:50] <smmsadrnezh> Pici: when I enter "du -hs root" it shows me 280G but there is nothing in this directory!!!
[13:50] <Wolframn> ben123: Laptop?
[13:50] <brontosaurusrex> p1n9v1n, also mplayer should play mpeg2 natively, no need for codec packs, so no again
[13:50] <ben123> Wolframn: actually server
[13:50] <Besogon> ben123: Look at start up on the screen
[13:50] <patrunjel_> terry, i'm back :)
[13:50] <Pici> smmsadrnezh: Where are you doing that?
[13:50] <brontosaurusrex> p1n9v1n, can you open that stream in mplayer directly?
[13:51] <Besogon> ben123: boot up I wanted to say
[13:51] <ben123> Besogon: Do not really want to restart
[13:51] <p1n9v1n> how to open it?
[13:51] <smmsadrnezh> Pici: /
[13:51] <brontosaurusrex> p1n9v1n, let me google ...
[13:51] <devish> ben there is something like meminfo google it
[13:51] <ben123> Tried hwinfo, but not very detailed
[13:51] <patrunjel_> terry, here is the output of iwconfig : http://pastebin.com/dijTAq5N
[13:52] <smmsadrnezh> Pici: in tty1 and directory /
[13:52] <brontosaurusrex> p1n9v1n, http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/MPlayer#Watching_DVB_Streams
[13:52] <web_knows> hi
[13:52] <erUSUL> ben123: sudo lshw -C memory
[13:52] <p1n9v1n> terminal>mplayer -vid x?
[13:52] <ben123> devish: you mean /proc/meminfo? Just tells something about amounts of memory
[13:52] <terry> patrunjel_: is this a laptop or desktop?
[13:52] <patrunjel_> terry, it's a notebook
[13:52] <brontosaurusrex> p1n9v1n, try just "mplayer dvb://"
[13:53] <patrunjel_> terry, so yeah, it's a laptop :)
[13:53] <devish> ben123: cat proc/meminfo
[13:53] <p1n9v1n> ok i'll try
[13:53] <devish> ben123: cat /proc/meminfo
[13:53] <terry> patrunjel_: It appears to be off.  Do you know where the button or switch is to trun the wifi on?  (Or the keystroke combination...)
[13:53] <ben123> devish: yea, tells me about memory amounts, I want to know about DDR1, DDR2, slots
[13:53] <devish> ben123: try uname -a
[13:54] <vanguard> if I post to a mailinglist for linux users, should I rather send attachments in plain, gzip'd or bzip2'd?
[13:54] <patrunjel_> terry, nope...but wait a second, I can try looking over it, and searching google
[13:54] <ben123> erUSUL: lshw is great, thank you very much!
[13:54] <erUSUL> vanguard: what kind of attachment?
[13:54] <LetsGo67> Hello chat room! https://bell.ca/home/Home_L_Login.page does not work for me in Opera. Can someone help me please?
[13:54] <ben123> problem solved, I think :)
[13:54] <vanguard> erUSUL: logfile, plain ASCII
[13:55] <brontosaurusrex> LetsGo67, thats not an ubuntu related
[13:55] <ben123> thx to all others as well
[13:55] <p1n9v1n> Failed to open dvb:// :(
[13:55] <vanguard> LetsGo67: does it work in other browsers
[13:55] <erUSUL> vanguard: if it is too big to go inline use bzip2
[13:55] <terry> LetsGo67: Try firefox
[13:55] <LetsGo67> BrontosaurusRex: It's the Ubuntu browser.  The problem's not in Chromium vanguard & terryh.
[13:55] <terry> p1n9v1n: Try   dvd:
[13:56] <vanguard> erUSUL: can I somewhere read up the pro/cons for gzip/bzip2 somewhere?
[13:56] <LetsGo67> terry: Fx4 says "connection not certified".  It is begging me to "get me out of here!"
[13:56] <thien> my Update Manager do not show the button to update ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10. how to?
[13:56] <LetsGo67> This is Bell the largest ISP/phone/TV in Canada LetsGo67.
[13:57] <LetsGo67> They even have a roaming agreement with TELUS
[13:57] <terry> p1n9v1n: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdnav4
[13:57] <LetsGo67> i.e: TELUS uses some Bell HSPA towers, vice-versa, TELUS uses Bell Sattelite TV...
[13:57] <terry> LetsGo67: accept the cert
[13:57] <LetsGo67> terry: Why does it say that?
[13:57] <smmsadrnezh> Pici: / directory
[13:58] <Pici> smmsadrnezh: so /root/ does exist
[13:58] <LetsGo67> terry: Typing www.Bell.ca fixes it.
[13:58] <cowgoesmoo> brontosaurusrex: got it working...i wanted to share direct between 2 VMs, rather than go via the windows 7 host...installing samba through the software center let's me create a share on the ubuntu VM that the other VM can access straight off with no problems
[13:58] <terry> LetsGo67: for your edification
[13:58] <p1n9v1n> Package 'libdvdcss2' has no installation candidate
[13:58] <jrib> !dvd | p1n9v1n
[13:58] <terry> jrib: Tnx
[13:58] <LetsGo67> terry: but not in Opera.  How is that supposed to edify me?
[13:59] <p1n9v1n> dvd playback is fine
[13:59] <erUSUL> vanguard: bzip2 compress more but it is slower
[13:59] <terry> LetsGo67: By reading the information, understanding it etc.
[13:59] <patrunjel> terry, i couldn't find anything... but there is a little LED turned on, next to it there is a symbol that looks like two circles
[13:59] <brontosaurusrex> cowgoesmoo, cool
[13:59] <LetsGo67> terry: Does that mean Bell is not secure, Bell's certificate is expired, etc.?
[14:00] <terry> LetsGo67: Is the time correct on your PC?
[14:00] <LetsGo67> terry: It's NTP synced.
[14:00] <cowgoesmoo> there's definitely something weird with how windows 7 handles smb...typical, lol
[14:00] <greenguy> !ati unity
[14:00] <bazhang> p1n9v1n, medibuntu.org has the package
[14:00] <terry> LetsGo67: Time and date... are they correct?
[14:00] <vanguard> erUSUL: that is what I have gathered so far, both are practiacally ubiquitous, right? So using gzip for compatablility does not make too much sense? And even vim can open both directly.
[14:00] <greenguy> ! ati radeon
[14:00] <erUSUL> vanguard: well in linux it is ubiquitous yes
[14:00] <brontosaurusrex> cowgoesmoo, personally i totaly refuse to play with anything that even remotely smells like windows networking ...
[14:01] <erUSUL> !ati
[14:01] <patrunjel> terry, i mean, a circle looks like the on/off symbol, and the other one is just a cirle...and they look like you would watch them on a 45 degree angle or something
[14:01] <LetsGo67> terry: Yes, they are synced with Ubuntu.
[14:01] <patrunjel> terry, but there was a command that started wifi... wait a second, i will show it to you
[14:01] <terry> patrunjel: Try using it and then do iwconfig and see if the output changes.
[14:01] <LetsGo67> terry: they should be, at least.
[14:01] <p1n9v1n> i timeshifted and it saved a file in my home diractory which i can play
[14:01] <cowgoesmoo> brontosaurusrex: yeah it's always hard work...i tend to lean towards using stuff like LogMeIn or vnc with copy/paste features...just less painful
[14:02] <vanguard> erUSUL: okay, in a 14K log file it does not really make any difference (both get it down to 2.4K). I'll just weigh off time/space for each task. Thx!
[14:02] <terry> LetsGo67: Then you are good to go.  If the cert is ok accept it.
[14:02] <p1n9v1n> but video section in kaffeine is transparent
[14:03] <patrunjel> terry, it's airmon-ng start wlan0  *this is the command i was talking about*
[14:04] <cyoz> alright, I feel I'm getting more confident with apt-get but how does it work exactly.. is there one central service that keeps track of all available apps?
[14:04] <cyoz> I mean it goes beyond the software center right?
[14:04] <LetsGo67> terry: Why does www.Bell.ca work but not Bell.ca in Firefox?
[14:04] <terry> patrunjel: I am not familiar with airmon-ng
[14:04] <syrinx_> cyoz: do some research on repositories
[14:04] <patrunjel> terry, here is the pastebin of the new output of iwconfig : http://pastebin.com/w2g4W8Pw
[14:04] <syrinx_> that should explain everything
[14:05] <terry> LetsGo67: Not sure, firefox usually will add www when needed.  Mine does.
[14:06] <LetsGo67> Terry: Yet i have Fx4.
[14:06] <brontosaurusrex> terry, LetsGo67 i think that www and nowww are basically two different domains, one could host two different sites on them...
[14:07] <cyoz> syrinx_, thanks
[14:07] <terry> patrunjel: What chipset is it?  (use lspci to see)
[14:07] <cyoz> it's amazing
[14:07] <cyoz> why doesn't windows have that?
[14:07]  * syrinx_ shrugs
[14:07] <terry> brontosaurusrex: aaahhhh ok....
[14:08] <LetsGo67> brontosaurusrex: So maybe i ought to contact Bell regarding this.  TELUS and others do not have this issue.
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> cyoz:  apple is moveing that way.. and ive seen similer things for windows.
[14:08] <syrinx_> I guess that would be considered !ot
[14:08] <terry> LetsGo67: What country are you in?
[14:08] <brontosaurusrex> LetsGo67, yes, but 1st check whats with the browser and its security behaviours and also whats up with adding www automagically...
[14:09] <LetsGo67> Terry: Canada.  Accessing the site via TELUS Mobility Internet.
[14:10] <rishi_> Hey guys
[14:10] <patrunjel> terry, there is a lot of info...i don't know where to look :) the best that i could find is the ethernet controller :(
[14:10] <rishi_> Need a bit of help
[14:10] <syrinx_> what's up rishi_
[14:10] <rishi_> Is there a way for me to downgrade from 11.04 to 10.10?
[14:10] <bazhang> rishi_, no
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> !downgrade | rishi_
[14:10] <greygjhart> I don't like getting connected  on a chan without asking for it just cause I'm using a live CD
[14:11] <brontosaurusrex> LetsGo67, for example mozilla has a weird unicode domain name policy, while chrome does try to figure out things automagically
[14:11] <rishi_> Ah ok, so if I want to get back to 10.10 I'd have to reinstall the entire system right?
[14:11] <terry> LetsGo67: So, you may see a different behavour than some of the rest of us, (as in me, from different isp and different country).
[14:11] <bazhang> rishi_, yes
[14:11] <rishi_> Alright, thanks guys :)
[14:11] <terry> patrunjel: ethernet controller is NOT it.
[14:11] <LetsGo67> Terry: Does "mobile Internet key" have anything to do with it?
[14:12] <patrunjel> terry, yeah, sorry :) i found it : 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
[14:12] <botcity> patrunjel, mon0 mon1 are normal devices that are set up through airmon-ng it explains all in the man pages etc
[14:13] <LetsGo67> brontosaurusrex: Why is there incompatability?
[14:13] <brontosaurusrex> LetsGo67, two different dev teams?
[14:13] <patrunjel> botcity, so should i try to connect mon0 to the wifi source?
[14:13] <terry> patrunjel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600097   maybe useful info.
[14:14] <KM0201> patrunjel, there's been a lot of people having problems w/ that device.. it doesnt hook up like the normal 4312 (lp-phy.. i think has somehting to do w/saving battery life)
[14:14] <jarvis_> hi all
[14:14] <terry> patrunjel: Maybe not, it's too old.
[14:15] <KM0201> terry, its not to old... its a different device.. the normal 4312, those instructions would work fine.. its the lp-phy what causes the issue.
[14:15] <terry> patrunjel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1266620  (This is much newer)
[14:16] <terry> patrunjel: Or this:  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/broadcom-bcm4312-firmware-in-ubuntu-10-10-beta-834640/
[14:16] <patrunjel> terry, so should i try to install the kernel-thingy? :)
[14:17] <Ramada> So I installed Ubuntu on this computer from a flash drive but now I can't get back onto WIndows :(
[14:17] <Ramada> Help?
[14:17] <KM0201> patrunjel, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1733538 (similar situatino exists under 10.10)
[14:18] <syrinx_> Ramada: no boot menu?
[14:18] <patrunjel> KM0201, i use 10.10 :)
[14:18] <KM0201> patrunjel, i'm aware of that, and the same problem exists under 10.10
[14:18] <Ramada> syrinx_, nope. It goes straight to Ubuntu.
[14:18] <syrinx_> !grub | Ramada
[14:19] <KM0201> patrunjel, if you look in the repositories, there's a special b43 firmware for the lp-phy devices.. but i can never get it to work right
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Ramada:  tap shift like a tapdancer.. just as its booting and it should show a grubn menu. The auto hide feature is disableable in the grub configs
[14:19] <Ramada> I'm on 10.10 Maverick.
[14:20] <Ramada> Dr_Willis, how would I set Windows as default?
[14:20] <terry> patrunjel: Looks like they are pointing to this: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> Ramada:  then for some odd reason it may not be showing windows in the grub menu. thats fixable in some ways. but it should auto-add it. You could try reruning 'sudo update-grub' and see if it sees it
[14:20] <Ramada> Is there a grub.cfg that I can edit?
[14:20] <terry> !broadcom | patrunjel
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> Ramada:  you edit the proper grub2 configs. not grub.cfg
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> !grub1 |
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | Ramada
[14:20] <KM0201> terry, patrunjel keep trying to tell you guys, that !broadcom link, will not work w/ the lp-phy's..
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> theres also a forum thread on using grub.  with lots of info
[14:21] <patrunjel> KM0201, so  what do you recommend doing?
[14:21] <p1n9v1n> i'm back
[14:21] <terry> patrunjel: Yea that is what  you need:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[14:21] <KM0201> terry, no thats not what he needs
[14:21] <terry> KM0201: Oh?
[14:21] <KM0201> terry, i've said it like 8x.. and you just keep repeating yourself..lol
[14:22] <KM0201> read his device agian.. and note the lp-phy   stop searchign for broadcom 4312, and search for broadcom 4312 lp-phy   then you'll be enlightened
[14:22] <terry> Well, I tell you what I do when I get a laptop with a broadcom wifi device.  I replace it.
[14:22] <p1n9v1n> is there any way to change refresh rate on old CRT monitor?
[14:23] <patrunjel> KM0201, terry  for example, i can see a crypted wifi connection, but airodump-ng showed me an uncrypted one, but it doens't show in the upper-right (where the network connections are showed) and that's why i was trying to make it work for the terminal
[14:23] <KM0201> terry, broadcomes work fine, its just those lp-phy devices are causing issues (something to do w/ power saving/battery life)
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> p1n9v1n:  used to be xorg.conf settings to do that.
[14:23] <izinucs> !resolution | p1n9v1n
[14:23] <terry> KM0201: So basically, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php  is what he needs.  Right?
[14:24] <KM0201> terry, no, read through the list of supported devices, lp-phy is not suppoted
[14:24] <p1n9v1n> i have a lot questions, sorry
[14:24] <DND> hi guys, i wanted to create a script that will restart a service if the free memory is around 8mb
[14:24] <Inumedia> Damn  I coulda sworn Notepad++ was cross-platform D:
[14:24] <LetsGo67> Bye room!
[14:24] <KM0201> patrunjel, just because a network is unencrypted, it can still choose not to broadcast the ESSID... you can try connecting to a "hidden network".. and see if you can connect to it.;
[14:26] <Ramada> Dr_Willis, so I restarted and was able to access the grub menu but no Windows item.
[14:26] <patrunjel> KM0201, every button is inactive when i try to do that. I deeded to connect to the network just because i need some acces to the internet, and i thought that i can connect to an unencrypted network :*(
[14:26] <terry> KM0201: He has  BCM4312
[14:27] <KM0201> terry, are you talking just to hear yourself talk?.. i have said multiple times, what the problem is with his device, and why your search is failing
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> Ramada:  hhave you done a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade'  'sudo update-grub' recently?
[14:27] <KM0201> terry, again... it is not a 4312, it is a 4312 lp-phy  there is a difference
[14:27] <terry> KM0201: I'm not talking at all, I'm typing.
[14:27] <KM0201> terry, ..
[14:28] <Ramada> Dr_Willis, I just did a fdisk -l and found that there is nothing that says Windows. Did I accidentally overwrite it?
[14:28] <Cygfrydd> net
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> Ramada:  sudo fdisk -l, and there should be some NTFS or fat/vfat partitons.
[14:28] <KM0201> patrunjel, terry anyway... there is a special firmware int he repositories for that device (firmware-b43-lpphy) for the lpphy devices.. but it doesn't seem to work for some reason
[14:29] <Ramada> Dr_Willis: Linux, Extended and Linux Swap.
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> Ramada:  perhaps you did delete it then
[14:29] <Ramada> sda1, sda2, and sda5 respectively.
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> fdisk -l | grep NTFS
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> /dev/sda1   *           1       60801   488384001    7  HPFS/NTFS
[14:29] <Ramada> :(
[14:29] <Ramada> Sad face.
[14:29] <KM0201> !info firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
[14:30] <Ramada> Fudggie.
[14:30] <Arek> #blender3d.pl
[14:30] <patrunjel> KM0201, i have already installed it :)
[14:30] <KM0201> patrunjel, terry see that last ubottu output.. if it was the same as the 4312... the normal b43 driver would work
[14:30] <KM0201> patrunjel, the regular b43 driver, or the b43 lpphy?
[14:30] <mongy> ah the old b43 vs wl :)
[14:31] <KM0201> mongy, b43 works fine, when you'r enot using the lp devices.. :)
[14:32] <mongy> KM0201, sadly, he and I are
[14:32] <KM0201> mongy, yup.. you had any luck w/ it?
[14:32] <patrunjel> KM0201, the lpphy one, why? is there any difference?
[14:32] <mongy> KM0201, b43?  not since last I tried, its junk.  I stick to whats always worked since 9.04 (bcmwl)
[14:33] <mongy> well, 8.04 actuall
[14:33] <KM0201> patrunjel, i have said multiple times wht the difference is... lpphy  is some sort of power saving function broadcom put into the chipsets to help w/ battery life...
[14:33] <patrunjel> KM0201, so should i install the other one? the one without lpphy?
[14:33] <KM0201> patrunjel, it makes it different than the normal 4312 (which works flawlessly w/ ubuntu, after you activate the STA driver)
[14:34] <patrunjel> KM0201, i don't really care about the battery life,as long as i can actually use the wifi :P
[14:34] <mongy> I dont know about any other model, but the 4312 LP does really need the STA , imo
[14:34] <KM0201> patrunjel, now if you have the lpphy device, why on earth would yo install a driver for a totally different device..
[14:34] <KM0201> patrunjel, the normal b43 driver will NOT WORK...
[14:34] <KM0201> mongy, unfortunately, i haven't had luck getting it working w/ STA either
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> ive had to tell  my systems to use STA over b43 befor also i recall.
[14:35] <patrunjel> KM0201, it was recommended when i installed the OS :)
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> I no longer have that laptop.
[14:35] <patrunjel> KM0201, so is there any way i can use my wifi? :))
[14:35] <mongy> KM0201, even tried the lpphy firmware in debian, no luck.  compiled bcmwl and good to go
[14:35] <KM0201> patrunjel, someone didn't know what they were talking about, or they thought you had a normal 4312 (which works fine w/ the b43)
[14:35] <KM0201> patrunjel, i've yet to get it working w/ 10.10  but honestly, i've not put a ton of effort into it...
[14:36] <patrunjel> KM0201, maybe with 11.04 it will work :))
[14:36] <KM0201> patrunjel, last i checked, the STA driver from broadcom, did not support that device.
[14:36] <KM0201> patrunjel, very unlikey (at this point) there's still complaints in +1 about it not working.
[14:37] <patrunjel> KM0201, i don't really know what a STA driver is, but i guess you're right :) (you sound right :P )
[14:37] <KM0201> patrunjel, although one person said he got his working after upgrading to 11.04, by resetting his router, and recreating his network...
[14:37] <mongy>  Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) is what Im using, with STA..
[14:37] <patrunjel> KM0201, i don't have a router, it's the wifi card in my netbook :)
[14:37] <KM0201> mongy, and you got it working?... thats actually the firstive heard that.. perhaps you can help patrunjel
[14:38] <KM0201> patrunjel, i see..
[14:38] <mongy> tried b43 as well in my dell mini 9, yet again since 8.04 ive had to use STA to have it work flawless
[14:38] <minimec> KM0201: Did not follow the entire story, but using WPA I would try to limit access to either TKIP or AES, but never both. I would first try AES...
[14:38] <KM0201> mongy, like i said, have had zero luck getting that device to work.. (but like i said, i've not really looked into it)
[14:38] <minimec> KM0201: ... on the router...
[14:38] <mongy> KM0201, i've directed a lot of people towards the STA driver in the past :)
[14:38] <KM0201> minimec, its not a security protocol issue.
[14:39] <mongy> he should just activate the sta driver and be done with it.
[14:39] <KM0201> mongy, well, like i said, last i checked (month or so ago) it didn't list support for the lp-phy
[14:39] <minimec> KM0201: I had stability problrms with two of my wifi devices and using AES only solved my problem...
[14:39] <terry> KM0201: patrunjel has the BCM4312 chip
[14:39] <KM0201> mongy, if that worked for you, thats great, but i've tried "just activating the STA driver" w/o luck on that device
[14:39] <KM0201> terry, at this point, i'm don talking to you, cuz i don't think you grasp the conversation
[14:39] <mongy> KM0201, well as far as this laptop goes Ive had since just before 9.10 surfaced, sta worked fine
[14:40] <patrunjel> KM0201, so this means that i can't even connect to the wifi networks listed in the network connections tab (in the upper part of the screen)
[14:40] <terry> patrunjel: Maybe it is working and you are just unable to connect to the router.  You might try restartring the router (as KM0201 suggested), I don't know that will change anything but I suppose you could try.
[14:40] <KM0201> patrunjel, if your experience is similar to mine.. yes.. the lp-phy did not work w/ the STA driver... the normal 4312 (which I have also) works flawlessly
[14:41] <KM0201> terry, ..lol, your mouse has a scroll wheel on it... scroll back to the beginnning of this conversation, and read it.. then you won't repeat yourself w/ stuff thats been covered (at least 3x)
[14:41] <terry> KM0201: If you would stick to sharing information you'd be a lot better off.
[14:41] <mongy> I thought broadcom made it open source ages ago, if so, why is this still a problem :(
[14:42] <KM0201> terry, if you stick to stop repeating stuff multiple times, i'd be less frustrated
[14:42] <alabd> Good day  all , I(humble) want to use buddy pounces  in pidgin to log when a buddy signs on and signs off , buddy pounce can run a command while a buddy signs off/on , but how to use this ability for creating logs?
[14:42] <patrunjel> KM0201, is it possible to replace the wifi chip from a Acer Aspire One (tis is the one that i'm trying to convice to get wifi) with one that's working? (that can actually get some wifi? :P )
[14:42] <KM0201> mongy, again, i don't really know.. if you look on broadcom's site, at the STA driver, it says the lp-phy does not work.. so how you got it w/ STA, is a mystery in a riddle.. :)
[14:42] <ikonia> alabd: you asked this earlier and where told where to go
[14:42] <KM0201> patrunjel, unlikely.
[14:42] <syrinx_> patrunjel: are you using the LiveCD/USB?
[14:42] <terry> KM0201: Maybe you should switch to decaf ?
[14:43] <KM0201> patrunjel, your best bet in that scenario, would be to find a USB device that works
[14:43] <patrunjel> syrinx_, no, i have ubuntu installed
[14:43] <syrinx_> oh
[14:43] <mongy> KM0201, Ive always had it work, with other models also.    I never knew it was not meant to......
[14:43] <syrinx_> i have that netbook
[14:43] <syrinx_> wifi works fine
[14:44] <genii-around> patrunjel: which model of the Aspire One ?
[14:44] <patrunjel> KM0201, you mean a USB that is actually a wifi capture card, and use that instead of the onboard one? (sorry, i'm not good at all with this kind of things :) )
[14:44] <KM0201> i'm interested in hearing how you guys got this device working... cuz like i said, i've read multiple problem threads w/ that device...
[14:44] <SixtyFold> just buy a EEE PC and your problem's solved :P
[14:44] <KM0201> patrunjel, yes, a usb wireless adapter
[14:44] <terry> syrinx_: Why don't you pastebin some info for us, lmsod lspci iwconfig
[14:44] <alabd> ikonia: yes but was there any answer ?
[14:44] <patrunjel> KM0201, thank a lot for the tips :)
[14:45] <ikonia> alabd: there was, you where told you had to script it, you where also told to ask in #pidgin
[14:45] <KM0201> patrunjel, follow some of the others who say they ahve that device working... i honestly have my doubts, but if they do.. see if they have any suggestions
[14:45] <syrinx_> terry: because it's at my house
[14:45] <terry> syrinx_: O
[14:45] <alabd> ikonia: asked in pidgin and also asked what kind script I(humble) am not programmer
[14:45] <syrinx_> yea :(
[14:45] <KM0201> syrinx_, are you sure its the 4312 lp-phy ?
[14:45] <ikonia> alabd: that's not an ubuntu issue, so #pidgin is the correct place to ask
[14:46] <JeffJassky> Hey, guys. I'm trying to use wget to download some website content and I'd like to ignore certain file types (pdf, exe, dmg, jpg, gif, png, etc).. is there a way to ignore file types with wget?
[14:46] <patrunjel> KM0201, the best way to test it is to find a friend with a router, and test everything (and make it work) in a controlled environment, to say so... i'm now trying to acces some wifi that isn't mine...so maybe it has some sort of passwords and stuff...
[14:46] <mongy> KM0201, I dont know how you have not had it working myself.  Its always worked for me and its fixed a few peoples wifi problems Ive helped in here and elsewhere.
[14:46] <botcity> KM0201,  acer aspire one  different models different chips mine is a Atheros AR9285
[14:46] <Corey> JeffJassky: There's an exclude flag.
[14:46] <syrinx_> not sure, I see no reason why it shouldn't work though :(
[14:46] <KM0201> botcity, the atheros works fine.. thats not really part of the discussion
[14:47] <patrunjel> KM0201, butif my wireless card doesn't work, how come i can scan with aerodump-ng
[14:47] <JeffJassky> Corey: Thanks! I'll look that up.
[14:47] <KM0201> mongy, like i said.. if you google broadcom 4312-lpphy   there's a lot of threads about it... its not just me.
[14:47] <KM0201> patrunjel, i don't use aerodump, have no ide.
[14:47] <alabd> ikonia: my question is that how a script can create a log file and each time logs something in ubuntu/linux , it's not related to pidgin now  ,
[14:47] <terry> patrunjel: That is possible. ( You should pastebin lspci )
[14:48] <ikonia> alabd: that is already logged in the syslog
[14:48] <mongy> KM0201, the b43-lpphy or the wl
[14:48] <patrunjel> KM0201, it's like wireshark, but for wifi. The thing is that it actually captures packets and stuff, so the chip works.. .(i guess)
[14:48] <KM0201> patrunjel, i know what it is, i just don't use it.
[14:48] <alabd> ikonia: want seprate log file
[14:48] <ikonia> alabd: why ?
[14:48] <mongy> KM0201, b43/b43-fwcutter and all the like are junk to me.  STA (wl) driver always works
[14:49] <SixtyFold> so he can stalk his girlfriend while he is sleeping, haha
[14:49] <ikonia> SixtyFold: please don't be silly, it's worthless comments that don't help
[14:49] <patrunjel> terry, here is the lspci output : http://pastebin.com/TLn0HfK4
[14:49] <KM0201> mongy, i've never had problems w/ the normal b43 driver... it has always worked fine (as has the STA).. but neither has worked w/ the lp-phy device.. for me
[14:49] <mongy> KM0201, idk then.  'just works' here.
[14:49] <KM0201> mongy, if you look in the repositories, there's a special firmware for the lp devices....
[14:50] <mongy> KM0201, I know, I tried it.  no good
[14:50] <KM0201> mongy, yup..
[14:50] <alabd> ikonia: see pidgin can run a command when a buddy sign on/off , ok , so now , am not able to write a script that can log time of runing itself each time
[14:52] <terry> patrunjel: If I were you, I'd find a well supported one on ebay, swap it out and then sell yours to someone else, (on ebay).  Some MS Windows user will do fine with it.
[14:53] <Macer> blah
[14:54] <KM0201> terry, since he's obviously interested in injection (which is a whole other issues) some devices might wrk flawlessly in connecting or even monitoring, but there's several that will do both of those, and don't work well (or at all) at injection
[14:54] <patrunjel> terry, haha :)) i'm fixing it one way or another...after easter i will go in front of a computer support shop (with free wifi) and just play with it until it works :P
[14:54] <mongy> has he even tried sta driver yet
[14:54] <KM0201> mongy, he said earlier he did..
[14:54] <KM0201> mongy, but granted, most of this conversation has been around the b43./
[14:54] <mongy> removed/blacklisted b43 first?
[14:55] <KM0201> patrunjel, did you try the STA driver
[14:55] <KM0201> brb..
[14:55] <patrunjel> KM0201, what's a STA driver, and how do I try it? :)
[14:56] <zaytsev> hi folks
[14:57] <zaytsev> anyone could recommend a service manager for maverick? should I use sysv-rc-conf?
[14:57] <zaytsev> I am under impression, that it does not cover upstart managed services
[14:57] <erUSUL> !upstart | zaytsev
[14:57] <erUSUL> zaytsev: correct.
[14:57] <zaytsev> erUSUL, so what do I use for upstart then?
[14:58] <terry> zaytsev: service
[14:58] <erUSUL> zaytsev: manual editting in /etc/init/*
[14:59] <zaytsev> erUSUL, oh that really sucks. at least dpkg will not change my *.conf files on update? hopefully it will present this diff dialog, right, that's how it works?
[15:00] <erUSUL> zaytsev: probably but i've not modified those startup scripts myself so ...
[15:00] <zaytsev> erUSUL, RHEL now uses upstart afaik, is there like a port of chkconfig for Ubuntu or so? manual editing just does sound so thrilling... how in the world there is no management tool for that :-/
[15:00] <zaytsev> erUSUL, ok, thanks anyway for the hint!
[15:01] <Aikar> anyone got an idea of why when i login my .bashrc isnt being ran, and source .bashrc says -sh: source: .bashrc: file not found  ... but the file exists O.o
[15:01] <erUSUL> zaytsev: i do not think RHEL switched to upstart ... they are doing its own thing ( systemd )
[15:01] <zaytsev> erUSUL, my impression was that they went for upstart in RHEL6 in sequential mode, but I might be wrong
[15:01] <erUSUL> Aikar: are you sure you are using bash ?
[15:02] <jubei-za> Hello all, just installed ubuntu server 10.04 and am trying to setup a DHCP server, when i try apt-get install dhcp3-server it does not find the package in the repository, how do i put it into the repository or how can i get a copy of dhcp3-server?
[15:02] <Aikar> erUSUL: yeah its symlinked
[15:02] <erUSUL> Aikar: bash will complain like this ┬½ bash: foo: No such file or directory ┬╗
[15:02] <zaytsev> Aikar, oh, that's also a recurring question of mine.. are we now supposed to use .profile and it should work?
[15:02] <mdpatrick> How do I place files in a user's folder (user2) while still being able to access/modify/read them from user1?
[15:03] <Aikar> ubuntu defaulted shell to /bin/sh which is symlinked to /bin/bash
[15:03] <Aikar> btw im running ubuntu 10.04 lts server
[15:03] <minimec> jubei-za: check /etc/apt/sources.list. do you have universe/multiverse activated?
[15:03] <erUSUL> Aikar: no; /bin/sh is dash by default and user's login shell is /bin/bash by default
[15:04] <Aikar> well ive changed the symlink to be bash
[15:04] <Aikar> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-03-19 23:14 /bin/sh -> /bin/bash*
[15:04] <jubei-za> hi minimec, i checked sources.list and i seem to have all the default repository information in there ... i have no clue what universe/multiverse is?
[15:04] <Aikar> https://gist.github.com/3a66ca52d426b6bf8430
[15:04] <jubei-za> am i correct in saying that dhcp3-server should be in the repositories?
[15:05] <minimec> jubei-za: check packages.ubuntu.com for available packages
[15:05] <mfilipe> why doesn't tomboy startup with ubuntu natty?
[15:05] <yomeister> Hey, is it possible to wake your pc up at a certain time. The pc has to wake up from standby or sutch...
[15:05] <jubei-za> minimec: do you mean add packages.ubuntu.com into the sources.list file?
[15:05] <gartral> hello all, i have a configuration question: my internal bluetooth radio starts on when i boot/reboot my computer.. how to i change it so that ubuntu starts with the radio off?
[15:06] <Aikar> interesting
[15:06] <erUSUL> Aikar: ok; that's fine. but what is your login shell ?
[15:06] <Aikar> editing /etc/passwd to just be /bin/bash fixed it...
[15:06] <Aikar> even tho /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/bash O.o
[15:06] <thebuntutweaker> gartral, use blueman bluetooth manager
[15:06] <minimec> jubei-za: no. That is a website that shows you available packages with a search tool. You will also see in what repo it is. Like irssi chat software is in universe repo..
[15:06] <thebuntutweaker> gartral, apt-get install blueman
[15:06] <erUSUL> Aikar: bash does not behave the same when called as sh
[15:06] <Aikar> my login shell was set to /bin/sh before
[15:06] <Aikar> oh...
[15:06] <Aikar> that makes sense then
[15:06] <Aikar> thanks
[15:07] <FloodBot1> Aikar: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:07] <jubei-za> minimec: ok im gonna go find out what this universe/multiverse is all about, thanks for the help
[15:07] <St0n3-C0l> Hello, I am facing an strange issue with my router here on Linux...not sure how to set this up. The problem is that when I am connected through my router on Linux, certain pages/sites do not load up and sometimes I just get the simple text layout of the site...for example youtube.com, i just get text only. Secondly...this problem is not present when I am running through my router on Windows so I don't think there's some issue with the con
[15:07] <St0n3-C0l> figuration....but if I run through direct connection on Linux...everything works normally -- So no idea how do I fix this...
[15:07] <erUSUL> Aikar: don not edit passwd directly use "chsh"
[15:08] <Aikar> why, never had an issue with editing it before O.o
[15:08] <superman097> guys i have installed ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Inspiron 4030 laptop
[15:08] <Pici> superman097: contrats
[15:08] <superman097> but i got a problem
[15:08] <syrinx_> lol
[15:08] <syrinx_> Pici: meanie
[15:08] <minimec> jubei-za: there is 'main' supported by canonical, 'universe/multiverse' supported by the community...
[15:09] <superman097> the system is not detected the ethernet LAN
[15:09] <minimec> jubei-za: also 'partners' for java, skype, ...
[15:09] <superman097> i typed the command ifconfig on the terminal
[15:09] <jubei-za> minimec: aaah ok makes sense, i just dont understand why dchp3-server is not in any of the default repositories
[15:10] <superman097> but the result is just loopback interface showed on me
[15:10] <kapipi> How do I get the daylight map from gnome clock in the unity clock?
[15:10] <jubei-za> minimec: it seems like it should be based on this link https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/dhcp.html
[15:11] <minimec> jubei-za: I don't know that for dhcp3-server, but packages.ubuntu.com will tell you.
[15:14] <jubei-za> minimec: ok ive located the package (http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/dhcp3-server) how do find out what the relevant repository is?
[15:15] <Aikar> is there a command i can run that simulates the "leave message" feature?
[15:15] <jubei-za> minimec: or should i just download manually?
[15:15] <jubei-za> minimec: im very new to ubuntu/linux so would prefer to use apt
[15:15] <Rick__> Im just about to install ubuntu just wondering peoples thoughts whether just go with 10.10 or wait for 11.04?
[15:15] <minimec> jubei-za: I cannot open links right now, but all information should be on that link you gave me.
[15:16] <Aikar> sshd in to my stepdads system and wanna just leave a message that says i did what he needed me to do lol. give him a lil shock when he sees it since hes not too comp literate lol...
[15:16] <kapipi>  Anyone know if the daylight map from gnome clock will be coming to the unity clock applet?
[15:16] <jubei-za> Rick_: Take the plunge its most fun
[15:17] <minimec> jubei-za: Packages available via packages.ubuntu.com are part of any ubuntu repository. Only thing is to activate the right 'sub'sources --> universe/multiverse...
[15:17] <gartral> hey, installing blueman still leaves me with a bluetooth radio that's on at boot
[15:17] <ImperialXT> Hey, having an issue in 10.10 x64 with my headphone jack sense not working (I think that's what it's called)
[15:17] <Rick__> jubei-za: take the plunge as n wait for 11.04?
[15:18] <jubei-za> Rick__: haha no take the plunge and install anything linux, im on ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server 10.04 LTS, but any version would do
[15:19] <Dreki> is there an updated repository for wireshark and kismet?
[15:19] <Rick__> fair to say 10.04 the most stable?
[15:20] <sacarlson> Dreki: what new feature am I missing with the old wireshark?
[15:20] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, I'm on 10.04 and it's in Lucid-Security/main in Synaptic
[15:21] <buff27> Rick__, well it's been around a yeah, it's stable and works, so does 10.10 and 11.04.....
[15:21] <sacarlson> Dreki: did you check ppa?
[15:21] <Aikar> so does anyone know how to invoke the "Leave note/message" feature on the lock screen by command?
[15:21] <Dreki> sacarlson 802.11N support
[15:21] <Dreki> i think
[15:21] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: im on 10.04 server, no gui installed
[15:21] <Dreki> N adapters anyway
[15:22] <jubei-za> im really confused with the repositories and multiverse/universe story, ive got to go do some reading :)
[15:22] <sacarlson> Dreki: I have used to to monitor trafic on wifi but those packets I may have missed I'm not sure
[15:22] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, what I'm saying is sudo apt-get will work for you
[15:22] <jubei-za> yeah thats what i thought, but it claims the packaged is not in the repository
[15:23] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, sudo apt-get dhcp3-common
[15:23] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: i tried apt-cache search dhcp3 and all i got was 2 client packages listed
[15:23] <Rick__> buff27: although 11.04 is still beta once its properly released my system will update fine?
[15:23] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: ye i got that packaged dhcp3-common is that the same as dhcp3-server?
[15:24] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, let me see, one sec
[15:24] <food> jubei-za: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[15:24] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: its not the same it one of the dependencies for dhcp3-server
[15:24] <jubei-za> food: will check it out quic
[15:25] <buff27> Rick__, yes it will and there is a chat room for it #ubuntu+1
[15:25] <jubei-za> food: tx
[15:25] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, not the same, you'll need to : sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server
[15:26] <Aikar> is it possible when i ssh into a pc to use say zenity to popup message box on the current X instance?
[15:26] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: lol i tried that, it says the package cannot be found in any epository
[15:26] <Aikar> (zenity:10195): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[15:26] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, heh
[15:27] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: which is really strange because from this link (https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/dhcp.html) its seems that it should be in there!
[15:27] <Combatjuan> Hello.  How do I remove my selection for sun-java-jre dlj?  Where is that stored?
[15:27] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: i know very weird
[15:27] <jubei-za> tjiggi: im running off a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 server and all ive configured is a pppoe connection and some ip adresses
[15:28] <Rick__> buff27: thanks
[15:28] <Combatjuan> The more general question is regarding debconf-set-selections: Where does it store the selections?
[15:29] <ImperialXT> Anyone know of any fixes for my speakers not getting muted when my headphones are plugged in? I've gone through so much stuff, and really running out of ideas and resources. Running 10.10 x64 Desktop
[15:29] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, I have it in Lucid-security/Main - your setup sounds lekker daft - maybe try adding repositories from some other mirror?
[15:29] <Combatjuan> ImperialXT: Have you ruled out hardware/BIOS?
[15:29] <ImperialXT> Combatjuan:
[15:29] <ImperialXT> yeah
[15:29] <ImperialXT> works fine in windows
[15:30] <OerHeks> !kvm
[15:30] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: when you say "Lucid-security/Main" are you talking about /etc/sources.list ?
[15:30] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, yep
[15:31] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: i have a line there "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted"
[15:33] <food> Combatjuan: cant you uninstalll it through synpatic package manger?
[15:33] <Combatjuan> food: Yes.  But if I reinstall it, it knows that I've already accepted the license agreement.  I want it to have forgotten that.
[15:34] <Combatjuan> food: I'm testing a script that installs java and other packages.  I need to make sure that it correctly reads the settings from debconf-set-selections and doesn't ask the user for input.  The script /must/ run non-interactively.  And I can't test it again until Ubuntu forgets what I chose last time.
[15:35] <food> Combatjuan: when it is install look a the bottom of the synpatic package manager and there should be a tab for installed filles
[15:35] <food> Combatjuan: it is near the tab for description
[15:35] <Combatjuan> food: This is a headless box without X.
[15:36] <food> COmbatjuan: oh
[15:36] <gartral> Combatjuan: sounds like a job for vbox
[15:36] <Combatjuan> But I'll do the equivalent on one of my other machines and see what it looks like.
[15:37] <tjiggi_fo> jubei-za, If I were you I'd try at #ubuntu-za. Those guys will know what to do if yours is a sources problem
[15:37] <food> Combatjuan: I guess i have to look at the dpkg and apt-get man pages since i was always lazy to learn those option. I alreayd switched distros lol
[15:37] <jubei-za> tjiggi_fo: ok thanks for the help will ask there!
[15:38] <Combatjuan> food: I was a little surprised that the debconf-set-selections man page didn't say.  I grepped through /var/lib/dpkg/* and found the only two instances of the setting string there are in the license itself.
[15:38] <bibic682> Hello,   Anyone running 11.04 ?......comments  ?
[15:38] <allennewok> I use 8.04 always
[15:39] <XceptN> bibic682: I do run the latest beta - it is neat and quite robust. Still I need to get used to Unity
[15:39] <Chronotek> Thank you everyone for the help with the swap issue I had last night, it solved half the issue the helped me locate the other half
[15:40] <Dreki> how do i look for a PPA repository? im not sure what PPA is
[15:40] <genii-around> !ppa
[15:40] <mrgreaper> hi i have some major probs at mo , im installing ubuntu 10 10 on my mates pc over the phone lol i used teamviewer to download the 64bit iso then used the guide on the ubuntu site to create a usb drive, we rebooted the pc but it gave an error about no configuration loaded and just sat there at boot:
[15:40] <Neo_Kipling> hi, fellows, my cron trigger each session twice, anybody know why
[15:40] <bastidrazor> Dreki: the best way is to search for "PPA applicationname"
[15:40] <mrgreaper> any ideas how to fix?
[15:40] <bibic682> XceptN: I read a little about it....and I'm old school when it comes to desktop. A task bar on bottom and three icons on the screen in the top left  :)  I like to keep it simple
[15:42] <mrgreaper> if it helps im still on the phone to him, were back inot windows and im on teamviewer looking at the usb drive im guessing theres a step missing from the guide?
[15:42] <ImperialXT> mrgreaper:  I was having the same issue doing that install on this machine, I ended up just burning the iso
[15:42] <ImperialXT> I tried a few things
[15:42] <ImperialXT> including a different usb drive
[15:42] <ImperialXT> and yeah
[15:42] <ImperialXT> just ended up burning it
[15:42] <FloodBot1> ImperialXT: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:42] <XceptN> bibic632: Gnome 2.30 and KDE is still there at your disposal
[15:42] <mrgreaper> imperial unfortunatly he dont have a spare disc :(
[15:43] <ImperialXT> no idea then sorry
[15:43] <mrgreaper> he is hunting a disc at mo but he not sure the cd drive works lol
[15:43] <mrgreaper> must be a way to fix the usb stick method? any one
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> try differnt tools 5to make the usb stick.
[15:44] <hiexpo> usb works fine
[15:44] <bibic682> Xceptn: Buty it won't be installed by default
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> Ive had some usb drives not work on some machines. but work on other machines.
[15:44] <mrgreaper> what tool do you recommand
[15:44] <geirha> mrgreaper: I believe there may be some issues if you make it persistant (which I believe it becomes by default)
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> mrgreaper:  what one did you use last time?
[15:45] <mrgreaper> i used the guide here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[15:45] <bibic682> Will it handle Flash video more efficiently.... I hate maxin out the cpu with some stop and starts
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> the ubuntu usb-disk creator tool can work. but ive had it fail. Unetbootin also works.. but ive had it fail also :)  then theres the pendrive linux site. it has tools to make a grub2 usb that boots iso files. or one that uses syslinux to make a bootable usb. I have better luck with those.
[15:46] <food> combatjuan: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/show-the-list-of-installed-packages-on-ubuntu-or-debian/  dpkg -L package name
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> then theres alternatives to those like 'lili' (works ok, nasty interface, windows only)
[15:46] <geirha> mrgreaper: On "When starting up from this disk, documents and settings will be:", choose "Discarded on shutdown..."
[15:46] <mrgreaper> were not getting that far gerirha
[15:47] <Dr_Willis> mrgreaper:  the usb maker tool is having issues even making a flash drive?  thats what geirha  is refering to.
[15:47] <mrgreaper> ilituraly just followed the guide but cant get the usb drive to work, he just tested his cd drive it is dead as he suspected
[15:47] <mrgreaper> ah i see
[15:47] <Dr_Willis> mrgreaper:  what does the flash drive do exactly?
[15:47] <mrgreaper> well the flash drive apears to be made as im looking at it now
[15:48] <Dr_Willis> no menu? flashing _ ? fails in some other way?
[15:48] <mrgreaper> one sec he is rebooting the pc so i can give you the exact error
[15:48] <Neo_Kipling> hi, guys, cron trigger each session twice, and maybe this happening since i restarted X-org without reboot once, anybody know why
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> if you are using a NVIDIA chipset - i have often had to hit space when you see the little man/logo at the bottom. then hit F6 and use the Nomodeset option
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> Neo_Kipling:  I wouldent think X would be affecting Cron Jobs.
[15:49] <hoopy_> /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-haze is eating up > 90% of CPU constantly.  pretty sure it's used by empathy... anybody know why it's pegging the CPU?
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> !find telepathy-haze
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> !info telepathy-haze
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> libpurple = used by a lot of IM clients.
[15:50] <mrgreaper> it says the sys linux 4.03 the error is no configuration file found (under that ) no default or ui configuration directive found
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> No idea on the cpu issue however.
[15:50] <mrgreaper> then it just has boot:
[15:50] <hoopy_> dang :\
[15:51] <mrgreaper> no little man
[15:51] <hoopy_> it definitely is empathy... just closed the process and now htop isn't showing telepathy-haze
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> mrgreaper:  theres a bug i recall in the boot disk maker that makes an invalid syslinux.cfg file.
[15:51] <hoopy_> er... clsoed empathy
[15:51] <mrgreaper> if we go back to windows it shows the usb drive as install ubuntu
[15:51] <mrgreaper> can i make the file manualy?
[15:51] <hoopy_> i wonder if it has anything to do with it being a virtualbox
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> mrgreaper:  plug the flash drive  in the other pc, and look for a syslinux.cfg file. you need to edit one line i recall (from memory)
[15:52] <mrgreaper> were booting it back into windows now
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> why not jus tplug it into the pc you are using now. :)
[15:52] <Combatjuan> food: So you think that the selection is stored somewhere in the package's install files?  debconf-set-selection made it sound as though there were a database somewhere kept by apt.
[15:52] <mrgreaper> once its up ill put the config file into paste bin
[15:53] <dios_> Hello, i just installed ubuntu and netbeans for php/mysql purpose, im not familiar with linux nor ubuntu. Is there a item in the ubuntu software center that includes both php and mysql for local testing
[15:54] <dios_> maybe also includeing phpmyadmin
[15:54] <brontosaurusrex> phpmyadmin will need a web server as well dios_
[15:55] <brontosaurusrex> dios_ check "sudo tasksel"
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> mrgreaper:  i belive the fix is in  syslinux/syslinux.cfg  put a # at the start of the line that says 'default vesamenu.c32 '   You COULD try chanbging it to 'default live'
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> that should skip the fancy grub menu interface and just boot the live system.
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> this is an old bug that ive seen affect ubuntu for some time. Not sure what the deal is with iot
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> bbl. gotta help the wife move furinture
[15:56] <C4KL1M-2> hi all, is it true that canon is not going to run ubuntu project naymore?
[15:57] <brontosaurusrex> C4KL1M-2, true, canon will make DSLRs now
[15:57] <C4KL1M-2> whats DSLR?
[15:58] <Combatjuan> The file /var/lib/dpkg/info/sun-java54-jre.config seems to use functions from /usr/share/debconf/confmodule called "db_get" and "db_fset", but they use shell script foo beyond my comprehension.  I can't figure out what they are actually doing.
[15:58] <SnowmanX11> How can I get a list of installed codecs?
[15:58] <Neo_Kipling> Dr_Willis: thanks, and is this possible because i install the ecryptfs? I remember first i installed this pkg, then restarted X-org, when i reboot system, then cron session beginning repeat
[15:59] <mrgreaper> ok i change it to http://pastebin.com/Aq06Dmj0 removed the # at the end and added a hash at the default vasamenu.c32
[15:59] <mrgreaper> same error
[15:59] <brontosaurusrex> SnowmanX11, sorry, was joking, you meant canonical probably? :)
[16:01] <C4KL1M-2> @bronto , yes i mean canonical
[16:01] <SnowmanX11> brontosaurusrex: ??? I am looking for a command which make a list of installed multimedia codecs on my system
[16:01] <C4KL1M-2> * meant
[16:01] <mrgreaper> now trying it changed to default live
[16:01] <oCean> C4KL1M-2: offtopic chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[16:01] <mrgreaper> same error
[16:02] <AnanD_> s
[16:03] <mrgreaper> can it be installed from inside windows but told to boot directly into it?
[16:03] <mrgreaper> kinda stuck for ideas at mo
[16:03] <AnanD_> hello
[16:04] <MK``> can I use GNOME Shell with Compiz Fusion?
[16:05] <erUSUL> MK``: do not think so
[16:05] <MK``> Ok, thanks erUSUL
[16:05] <Teeko> anyone know what could cause this error: 20110425 15:05 ERROR [StartUp] Error in creating Database Object: could not find driver
[16:05] <AnanD_> is there any game engine that run in ubuntu ?
[16:05] <Teeko> cant find anything that could cause it :/
[16:06] <arand> AnanD_: Cube2 is one.. pygame.. ioquake..
[16:06] <erUSUL> AnanD_: id gmae engines do.
[16:06] <Pici> Teeko: It would help if you mentioned where you are getting that error.
[16:06] <AnanD_> untiy game engine for windows.  which can be installed in ubuntu?
[16:07] <arand> AnanD_: I think at least pygame is some form of engine, not perfectly sure
[16:07] <Teeko> in an ssh file
[16:07] <erUSUL> AnanD_: ogre ( free software )
[16:07] <Teeko> its from something called budabot, its a chat automation for a game i play
[16:07] <DexterF> hi
[16:07] <Teeko> i know it uses php and sqlite, and ive installed bothof those, cant find out anything else it would be dependent on :/
[16:07] <AnanD_> arand, erUSUL thank you
[16:08] <DexterF> is it possible that adobe flash in 9.10 is horribly broken after that latest update?
[16:08] <dabbish_> Why does this always return true? http://dpaste.com/535468/
[16:08] <mrgreaper> were now extracting the cd and using the usb creator on that as per a guide on the forums lol
[16:09] <brontosaurusrex> SnowmanX11, if you mean gstreamer stuff then try "gst-inspect"
[16:09] <voidr> hi, I installed Ubuntu 11.4 under virtualbox, it complained about the display driver so it disabled unity, but after I installed the drivers it still gives no option to switch back to unity, what should i do?
[16:09] <Pici> dabbish_: Thats probably a better question for #jquery or ##javascript
[16:09] <Pici> voidr : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[16:10] <dabbish_> Pici: oops, wrong channel
[16:10] <SixtyFold> what program is responsible for running the panels and applications/places/system bar part of ubuntu?
[16:10] <SixtyFold> it's currently frozen on me
[16:10] <dhab> gnome-panel?
[16:10] <Pici> SixtyFold: gnome-panel.
[16:10] <SixtyFold> thanks
[16:10] <SnowmanX11> brontosaurusrex: maybe. I will look for it, thanks.
[16:11] <Pici> SixtyFold: If you killall gnome-panel, it should start up again automagically.
[16:11] <SixtyFold> thanks pici, that was my plan, i just didnt know the name of it :D
[16:11] <ImperialXT> I'm gonna assume it's still not possible in gnome currently to have different wallpapers on each monitor without using gimp
[16:11] <SixtyFold> im all good now, thanks guys :D
[16:11] <patrunjel> guys, i have found in a book something like this : (while root) /usr/sbin/useradd -D . And that's all. So, the path (/usr/sbin/useradd) is to some kind of shell script, and it gets interpreted as a command, or how does it actually work?
[16:12] <dhab> hey guys, i've noticed some .log files on my desktop, and just realised they related to the LibreOffice crashs i've been having, should I be sending them somewhere?
[16:12] <erUSUL> !bugs | dhab
[16:12] <dhab> hrm
[16:12] <Pici> patrunjel: useradd is a binary, its not a script.
[16:13] <dhab> yep, thanks, its on line 11...
[16:14] <dhab> erUSUL: i can just delete them though when i'm done right?
[16:14] <erUSUL> dhab: probably; once you attached/uploaded them to launchpad...
[16:15] <Neo_Kipling> Hi, fellows, my cron trigger each session twice, exactly, i find out a screen session triggered by upstart also repeat twice. Maybe this happening since i installed ecryptfs and restarted X-org without reboot, anybody know why?
[16:15] <RajaTanpaCelana> ehmmm
[16:15] <RajaTanpaCelana> hello
[16:16] <dhab> oh, that was the other thing, do these .log files have sensitive information about me? passwords etc
[16:17] <MC8> Howdy, a friend of mine says that they accidentally clicked "remove from panel" and their whole topbar has disappeared. Does anyone know the command to get it back again/reset to default?
[16:17] <erUSUL> dhab: i doubt it free software people are very concerned about privacy. but can not say for sure
[16:18] <erUSUL> !panels | MC8
[16:19] <a-saint> hello guys i have a dvd sony cam any program recommended for importing the recorded dvd
[16:19] <ZenGuy> I need some help from some commandline gurus .. I want to move video files from a sub directory to 1 level up or to another directory at one time..like move file from sub, sub2, sub3, sub4 to directory 0
[16:19] <dhab> yep, i'm not familiar with the content of these files. about all i can make sense of is the bit about the number of cpus down the bottom :-), thanks again
[16:20] <ZenGuy> a-saint: dv-tape or actual dvd because i need help getting a dv tape imported
[16:20] <poptran> a
[16:21] <Pici> ZenGuy: Perhaps... find ./subpath/ -iname "*.whatever" -exec mv {} .. \;
[16:22] <ZenGuy> pici the sub directories are different names
[16:23] <ZenGuy> i don't mid if there is a command that will check all subdirectories
[16:23] <a-saint> ZenGuy it's a dvd not a mini dv
[16:24] <Pici> ZenGuy: Then just use . instead of ./subpath/
[16:24] <oCean> ZenGuy: if all the files are under /home/zenguy, then that is your starting found. Try with "cd /home/zenguy" then "find . -iname "*.mov" -exec ls -al {} \;
[16:24] <ZenGuy> Pici: ok
[16:24] <Combatjuan> Update: It looks like the sun java license check is stored in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
[16:25] <ZenGuy> oCean: will it move the files to the folder i'm searching from/one level up?
[16:25] <oCean> ZenGuy: the command in my example will just list files found
[16:25] <ZenGuy> ocean oh ok
[16:26] <oCean> ZenGuy: Pici's command will actually move the files 1 dir up from where you are. You can replace that part of the command by mv {} /home/newdir \;
[16:27] <ZenGuy> ocean ok
[16:28] <mia158> I cannot seem get maximum volume on my USB headphones.
[16:28] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, and you can see your 'dvd' as list of mpeg2 files right? or is it actually dvd structure, vobs and stuff?
[16:29] <erUSUL> Pici: you want execdir for that to work ( if it even works ) afaics; don't you?
[16:30] <Darael> Am I misunderstanding the uptime manpage, or am I right in thinking that a load-average of eleven or more, on a 4-core system, with CPU-usage below 25% as reported by htop ought not to be possible?
[16:30] <ikonia> Darael: certainly possible,
[16:30] <Pici> erUSUL: er, I hadn't tested it myself. I've rarely needed execdir ever though.
[16:30] <ikonia> Darael: don't forget uptime is an average,
[16:30] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex vobs and stuff
[16:31] <Pici> a-saint: handbrake is very useful tool for backing up your DVDs.
[16:32] <usuario3> olaaaaaaaaaa
[16:32] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex Pici I need to import them for known media types like mpegs or something
[16:32] <usuario3> k eces
[16:32] <usuario3> tio
[16:32] <Pici> a-saint: handbrake can create mpegs
[16:32] <erUSUL> !es | usuario3
[16:32] <padhu> anyone suggest me the good Home design software other than sweetHome3D?
[16:32] <a-saint> Pici I see will download the package
[16:32] <usuario3> kieres sali con migo
[16:33] <usuario3> tio
[16:33] <kesor> hey i am getting  "Who has 192.***.1.2?  Tell 192.***.1.7" from another ip thats not mine, does it means they are sniffing me too?
[16:33] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, what is your plan to do with this files?
[16:34] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex import them for later editing or just archive them because i need the mini dvds for other video shots
[16:34] <brontosaurusrex> padhu, the google sketch, if it is on linux allready, its a relatively simple 3d thingy
[16:34] <Pici> kesor: no.
[16:34] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, so just copy them to hd and see if you can open them directly into kdenlive for editing
[16:35] <Pici> kesor: thats what normal traffic on a network with multiple computers looks like.
[16:35] <padhu> brontosaurusrex: I will try it, :-)
[16:35] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, in any case just archive the originals, you can always make specilaized version for editing purposes
[16:35] <Pici> kesor: Better details would probably be appropriate for ##networking
[16:35] <mia158> what can I do to troubleshoot volume on usb headphones?
[16:35] <kesor> Pici, but what is it?
[16:36] <kesor> Pici : thanks
[16:36] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex i was able to see them straight from the dvds so i believe it's possible to do so after a copy
[16:36] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, i think i did mpeg2 shoot -> convert to dv files for editing -> convert to mp4 (avc/aac) for web, then delete dv intermediates, archive original mpeg2s
[16:37] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, mplayer, vlc, ect should be able to play vobs directly
[16:37] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex but should I copy the entire VIDEO_TS dir or just the *.vob thing
[16:38] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, depends on how the dvd is structured, if there is a new vob for everytime you press record, i would just store vobs
[16:39] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, play some vobs directly with some player and see whats the case
[16:39] <lucas_> someone please help me... I want to set an alternative path to /etc/alternatives at bootup
[16:39] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex yes I believe it's a new *.vob every time i start stop recording
[16:39] <tuhl> I sync 2600 contacts into desktop couchdb
[16:39] <ikonia> lucas_: why ?
[16:39] <Kick> Hi guys, I saw a vidio of a guy who had a system monitor on his desktop that looked sharp. Anyone know the app or know of a good sharp app that could be used?
[16:39] <tuhl> evolution gets a timeout
[16:40] <ikonia> Kick: conky is popular
[16:40] <maco> Kick: conky?
[16:40] <tuhl> in 11.04
[16:40] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, thats it then, just make a folder(s), like "my voby vacations 2010" and copy vobs there
[16:40] <Pici> tuhl : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[16:40] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex let me try and copy a .vob file to home dir and try and play it alone
[16:40] <sacarlson> lucas_: only at boot?  how about a symbolic link  man ln
[16:40] <japtol> has anyone here installed gazelle successfully
[16:40] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, yes, do that
[16:40] <Kick> ikonia, conky? :P I don't see it on the software center :)
[16:40] <ikonia> Kick: it's there
[16:40] <tuhl> Pici: thanks
[16:41] <Kick> ikonia, Ah! I see it
[16:41] <wipmonkey> anyone using 11.04 with a palm pre as a wifi hotspot?
[16:41] <Pici> wipmonkey : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[16:41] <lucas_> ikonia: creating a live cd with nvidia drivers on it. Thought that in a configured system with nvidia I could just point alternatives to that directory
[16:42] <wipmonkey> Pici: thanks
[16:42] <japtol> has anone here installed gazelle before
[16:43] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex and am downloading kdenlive
[16:43] <html_inprogress> hey
[16:43] <greenmang0> guys i just installed xubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu 10.10 ... now i want to completely remove gnome desktop .. which package should i uninstall?
[16:45] <MrGuy> Anyone have any luck getting a G35 headset working?
[16:46] <html_inprogress> whats that?
[16:46] <saulo> I have problems with ubuntu in a netbook: All my keys are detected into xev, but qt does not support my "enable/disable touchpad key". I've tryed install kernel 2.6.38 from Natty (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38-natty/)  and this keycode changes, but another keys stop working. My version is 10.10 and I already tryed #debian irc channel, but the kernel and codes sounds...
[16:46] <saulo> ...different there
[16:46] <nyuszika7h> Natty is released?
[16:46] <MrGuy> A logitech 7.1 headset with a microphone on it
[16:46] <oneirosFade> Trying to set up a process (?) that shares the default desktop via VNC - can someone help?
[16:47] <MrGuy> Shows up in the sound settings, but no soundcard symbol next to it unlike the other options
[16:47] <njo_> #ubuntu
[16:47] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex the .vob file plays normal from home folder
[16:47] <saulo> My kernel is 2.6.35-29-generic and my netbook is EEE-PC 1005-HA. Somebody could help me?
[16:48] <saulo> nyuszika7h: Natty isn't released yet, from my best knowledge
[16:48] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, ok, and kdenlive should be in repos
[16:48] <oCean> !isitout | nyuszika7h
[16:49] <a-saint> yes am installing it from the ubuntu software center
[16:50] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex am just wondering what are the other files used for "the bup and the ifo files
[16:51] <zaytsev> does anyone know if there are any "fake" latex (texlive) packages to satisfy dependencies for those using textlive manual installs in /opt?
[16:51] <zaytsev> lyx etc. is pulling the whole texlive thing for me :-/
[16:52] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, those are to do with dvd structure somehow, you dont need them, but it wont hurt to include them, they should be small
[16:52] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, in a case you would want to just burn a dvd as it was, i mean
[16:53] <gnychis_> has anyone gotten pretty printing to work with glib and gdb in Ubuntu?
[16:53] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex hm i see so it's better to copy the entire dir than the *.vob file
[16:54] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex ok thanks a lot
[16:54] <brontosaurusrex> a-saint, like i said, just in case you would want to recreate the dvd as it was shot
[16:55] <a-saint> brontosaurusrex yeah thanks a lot
[16:55] <Ubuntu> Hello can i get a Cd of the new version of Ubuntu sent when it is released
[16:56] <Pici> Ubuntu: Only if you'd like to buy one.
[16:56] <Ubuntu> Ok i'll wait wait and put it on a flash drive
[16:57] <Pici> Canonical are no longer offering free CDs via shipit :/
[16:57] <mknarr> That is because noone was donating $$
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> then they wouldent be free. :)
[16:58]  * Abhijit is one of those who got cds from last lot of shipit!!! :-p
[16:58] <mknarr> u didnt have to pay but they asked for a small donation  but it wasnt manditior
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> cheapbytes.com i recall has  most disrto cd'd for reasonable prices.
[17:00] <a-saint> Dr_Willis i didn't thank you last time for your help in partitioning my external HD so thank you
[17:01] <wipmonkey> some people are too cheap.
[17:01] <rich_> is anyone good with mod_rewrites?

[17:10] <rich542> hi, if I want to build a custom kernel for ubuntu netbook ed., do I need to make certain targets, or are the standard instructions ok?
[17:12] <Abhijit> !kernel | rich542
[17:13] <dhab> !Mainline
[17:13] <JeffJassky> !Mainline kernel | dhab
[17:13] <rich542> Abhijit, yeah that's what I'm following, how does that help.
[17:14] <rich542> I'm making all targets as per the instructions.
[17:14] <Abhijit> rich542, link for how to complie kernel is given in above message. see it
[17:14] <Name141> !stress
[17:14] <Name141> eh, is there a program like Prime95 ?
[17:15] <iceroot> Name141: cpuburn
[17:15] <Name141> iceroot: that'll let me see how the new machine is gonna do under stress ?
[17:16] <iceroot> Name141: correct
[17:16] <Rowin> hello
[17:16] <Name141> iceroot: is it via live? or do I need a repo to download it first
[17:16] <iceroot> Name141: repo
[17:17] <iceroot> Name141: also there is prime95 for ubuntu (check the website of prime)
[17:17] <Name141> iceroot: I'm running it off of a flash drive right now and haven't installed the hard drive/dvd burner
[17:17] <iceroot> Name141: sudo apt-get install cpuburn
[17:18] <iceroot> Name141: and why you need a hardisk or a burner?just install it from the repos
[17:18] <Name141> iceroot: which repo does it come off of so I can enable it
[17:18] <iceroot> !info cpuburn
[17:18] <mfilipe> no update today :S
[17:18] <mfilipe> anyone knows any sensors applet to unity?
[17:18] <iceroot> Name141: the universe repo
[17:19] <mimmostella> Ciao a tutti!!!
[17:19] <Name141> iceroot: alrighty.  I'm doing sudo apt-get update now
[17:19] <mimmostella> !list
[17:19] <iceroot> what? cpuburn is available for hurd-i386 ubuntu?
[17:20] <kury> How do I make device-mapper load the drivers/created the udev nodes for my PCI SSD drive before fstab tries to mount that partition and fail?
[17:24] <Name141> iceroot: after trying to sudo apt-get update, it ran out of free space
[17:25] <kury> How do I make device mapper start before fstab is read and my drives are all mounted?
[17:26] <chegibari>  Hello. This is a linux-windows question: what's the easiest way to run a bash/wget script on windows? I'm in a internet cafe and can't install much stuff
[17:26] <kury> do I need to include it in the /boot/ files somewhere?
[17:26] <chegibari> I need that to run a wget script from the ubuntu package manager
[17:26] <kury> chegibari: search for cygwin ?
[17:26] <erUSUL> chegibari: cygwin?
[17:27] <kury> or run a VM but.. I doubt you could get the VM environment installed...
[17:27] <chegibari> the last time I used it was very big and messy to install
[17:27] <chegibari> I'll try that again
[17:28] <chegibari> I hope the owner won't kill me
[17:28] <chegibari> It's installinng
[17:28] <erUSUL> chegibari: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm http://win-bash.sourceforge.net/
[17:29] <cdavis> Is there a way I can have dhcp tell me all of the options and view them? specifically I want to see if it advertises option 252
[17:29] <chegibari> erUSUL: too late. :) I started the cygwin installer
[17:29] <chegibari> I hope it doesn't need a reboot
[17:30] <chegibari> otherwise it's a waste of time
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> i wonder how updated cygwin is now a days.. last i tried it - it was rather.. old.
[17:31] <erUSUL> chegibari: is all this to run a apt/synaptic download script?
[17:31] <landingonwater> so.. My Win7 decided to stop working. Can I reinstall win seven, and then restore the Grub bootloader afterwards ?
[17:32] <mman> landingonwater, yes
[17:32] <landingonwater> mman: how do I do It ?
[17:32] <erUSUL> chegibari: maybe it easier to find a http dwonloader that can get urls from a text file? last time i looked the script was nothing more than wget url1 ... wget urln lines if you remove the wget you get a nice file you can find to a http dwonloader
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | landingonwater
[17:32] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[17:32] <tensorpudding> landingonwater: are you sure you need to reinstall windows 7
[17:32] <tensorpudding> it'd be helpful to be able to fix it without having to reinstall
[17:32] <mman> landingonwater, you can do this http://www.rocko.me/?p=141
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> landingonwater:  if you got a spare flash drive. You can install grub to it befor you reinstall windows. thenb boot from that 'rescue' flash drive. :) then rerun update-grub and restore grub
[17:33] <landingonwater> Dr_Willis: aah.. great. thanks :)
[17:33] <tensorpudding> landingonwater: if you reinstall windows 7 though, you can just pop in your ubuntu cd/dvd and boot into the live environment and restore grub from there
[17:33] <chegibari> erUSUL: yes
[17:34] <chegibari> erUSUL: I don't have internet at home
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> a tricked i learned 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and you can tell it to install grub to  the flash drive. Or every HD ya got. :) then just pick one to boot.
[17:34] <mman> landingonwater, what tensorpudding said is exactly what I sent you in that link :P
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> or theres other ways to install grub to the flash
[17:34] <researcher123> can someone help with this image please http://img27.imageshack.us/i/virtualbox1.png/
[17:34] <researcher123> I cant run virtualbox
[17:35] <landingonwater> tensorpudding: well.. Win7 doesnt boot. not even in failsafe. some damage files. and It cant restore to previous working setup. brand new win7 ultimate. haha.. i only use win7 for Lightroom. Still doesnt work well in Wine. Apart from that.. Win7 can fade into history for all I care.
[17:35] <chegibari> it's working!
[17:35] <chegibari> :-)
[17:35] <chegibari> incredible
[17:35] <chegibari> thanks guys
[17:35] <earthmeLon> I have 'paired' my android phone via bluetooth with my laptop.  How can I transfer files to the phone now?
[17:36] <tensorpudding> landingonwater: i guess that's fair
[17:37] <atlef> researcher123, so why don't you do what is says? "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-dkms" and then "sudo modprobe vboxdrv"
[17:37] <przemoReX> hi, can anybody help me to set up simplest working mail server for testing php scripts?
[17:37] <gp5st> where would i find the uuid/uuid.h header? which package i mean
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> !find uuid.h
[17:37] <researcher123> atlef: I did but no use
[17:38] <gp5st> Dr_Willis: i didn't know you could do that, thansk
[17:38] <charlie_> hello guys, why is the suspend/resume not working in ubuntu 10.10 or is it just me?
[17:38] <atlef> researcher123, hm, ok
[17:38] <padhu> przemoReX: squirrel mail
[17:38] <WaltherFI> charlie_: do you have swap area?
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> gp5st:  i think thers a program called apt-file that you can run locally :)
[17:41] <charlie_> hello guys, why is the suspend/resume not working in ubuntu 10.10 or is it just me?
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> charlie_:  whats your ram size.. and whats your swap size?
[17:41] <gp5st> Dr_Willis: thanks:) i'll look into that
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> !info apt-file
[17:41] <charlie_> ram size is 2gb swap size? no idea
[17:41] <przemoReX> padhu: actually I need to configure MTA, so my machine will send mail to remote boxes
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> charlie_:  swap needs to be at least 2 gb. if not a little more.
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> 2.5 gb to be safe. :)
[17:42] <charlie_> so how do I do that?
[17:42] <charlie_> im sorry, Im a noob
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> check swap size. resize it if needed
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> 'freen' command shows swap space.
[17:42] <pylix> my swap is only 600mb
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> free ;)
[17:43] <abstrakt> Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/openjdk-6-jre-lib_6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3_all.deb  404  Not Found
[17:43] <abstrakt> wtf>
[17:43] <Dr_Willis> gparted can also show partion sized
[17:43] <abstrakt> and sun-java6-jre isn't available
[17:43] <abstrakt> this is a rackspace Ubuntu 10.10 machine
[17:43] <abstrakt> VPS, i have root
[17:43] <padhu> Dr_Willis: free -m
[17:43] <Dr_Willis> servers may be getting maintined
[17:43] <pylix> swap is like pagefile for win32. virtual memory really isn't that helpful
[17:43] <pylix> imo
[17:44] <Dr_Willis> It is if you want hibernate/suspend working. :)
[17:44] <charlie_> SWAP: TOTAL: 3227644 USED: 136 FREE:3227508
[17:44] <pylix> see all that free?
[17:45] <pylix> proves my point
[17:45] <tjiggi_fo> all that's running is his chat client - of course its all free
[17:45] <abstrakt> ahh, nm, apt-get update was needed
[17:45] <a-saint> Dr_Willis i didn't thank you last time for your help in partitioning my external HD so thank you
[17:45] <MK``> if I use virtualbox will it allow me to run a second session of my own OS in it?
[17:46] <erUSUL> MK``: no
[17:46] <MK``> ok
[17:46] <charlie_> problem is when I suspend the system will go on a "standby mode" and when I resume, all I get is a black screen
[17:46] <MK``> If i am using another terminal, is it wise to login to the same user on more than on terminal? Or may that confuse the system in some areas?
[17:46] <MK``> than one*
[17:47] <Pici> MK``: Its fine.
[17:48] <kv102t> when i use flash on like BBC player, i can't view in fullscreen. Any ideas?
[17:48] <shoresh> hi I have a problem to upgrade my ubuntu please help!
[17:49] <NerwenGreen> I've managed to install apache2 plus the php5 module I needed. How do I find where localhost is located so I can make a pointer to the directory that I want to put my actual files in?
[17:49] <xangua> kv102t: flash sucks in linux in general
[17:50] <xangua> shoresh: the problem in this side is that we can't read your mind to actually know what your problem is
[17:50] <kv102t> xangua: im sure it was better with ubuntu 10.4
[17:50] <WaltherFI> kv102t: install newest from their site
[17:50] <ImperialXT> shoresh:  more info is usually needed to help
[17:51] <diogo> hi
[17:51] <ImperialXT> NerwenGreen: I think default is /var/www/
[17:51] <ImperialXT> but check your apache
[17:51] <kv102t> what flash is best (ubuntu 10.10)
[17:51] <ImperialXT> config to be sure
[17:51] <diogo> it is possible to compile the last kernel in ubuntu without breaking things like apparmor
[17:51] <diogo> ?
[17:52] <shoresh> oooh how we can chat directly its my first time too chat in ubuntu. then i will tell you what is my problem clearly
[17:52] <ImperialXT> shoresh:  just state it in here
[17:52] <shoresh> ok
[17:52] <MK``> say it here so we can all help and learn :)
[17:52] <charlie_> my computer sucks, It can't run any compiz or desktop effects like wobbly windows
[17:53] <erUSUL> diogo: apparmor is included now in mainline kernel if that's what you ask
[17:53] <ImperialXT> yeah more like that way others can help and I can go to bed :P
[17:53] <shoresh> i have installed ubuntu 8.04 and want to upgrade to 10.10
[17:53] <xangua> shoresh: you can upgrade to 10.04
[17:53] <charlie_> shoresh just wait for 11.04
[17:53] <jrib> kv102t: adobe's
[17:53] <erUSUL> shoresh: upgrade to 10.04 ( you can because both are LTS ) and then upgrade to 10.10
[17:54] <diogo> how can i build the latest kernel in ubuntu?
[17:54] <erUSUL> shoresh: but if it is a clean install why not install 10.10 directly ?
[17:54] <jrib> !kernel | diogo
[17:54] <Soyo> So I upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 but it failed and said gnome power manager not installed correctly. I was able to get a root command line prompt by using my oldest kernel. I keep getting read-only file system errors when I try to do anything even as root
[17:54] <NerwenGreen> ImperialXT: ah, /var/www was it. :)
[17:54] <shoresh> but when i upgrade it say to me that cannot petch sexy phyton
[17:54] <shoresh> i dont know what is it
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> Soyo:  read only - is often a sign that the fs needs fscked. or hard drive is having issues. If the kernel detexts an error. it puts / into read only mode.
[17:55] <NerwenGreen> Next problem: it doesn't recognize php. I've installed libapache2-mod-php5 ... was there something else I need to do?
[17:55] <jrib> !lamp > NerwenGreen
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> Soyo:  I would boot a live cd. and try to fsck the fs's and monitor dmesg output when it goes read only
[17:55] <shoresh> erusul i have the 10.10 cd
[17:55] <jrib> NerwenGreen: follow the troubleshooting steps on the page ubottu just sent you
[17:55] <NerwenGreen> jrib thanks
[17:56] <Soyo> Dr_Willis: Thank you, but I don't have a cd drive that works. I'll try a USB drive. Is there a way to fsck from command line?
[17:56] <shoresh> ersul: but dont know how to install it in free space on my disck
[17:56] <erUSUL> shoresh: so why not do a freshh install of 10.10 ? why did you installed 8.04 in the first place
[17:56] <Spaz_Dynamic> Hey, booted off of a Live CD currently, any quick and easy way to get Ubuntu to recognize my wireless NIC? Puppy supports it right off the bat, so I know it's linux compatible.
[17:57] <charlie_> after installing my video driver, there's a 2 persistent black lines on my desktop, do you guys the know a fix for this?
[17:57] <shoresh> i dont know how to install it on free space in my disck
[17:57] <diogo> ok , thanks
[17:58] <charlie_> sure is quiet in here ^^
[17:59] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: what chipset is it, do you know?
[17:59] <erUSUL> shoresh: the same way you installed 8.04 ?
[17:59] <Soyo> sudo shutdown -F.. (for filesystem check?)
[18:00] <Soyo> I guess I don't need sudo from #
[18:00] <Spaz_Dynamic> lspci reports it as "broadcom corporation BCM4318 [Airforce one 54g] 802.11g wireless lan controller rev 2"
[18:01] <przemoReX> hi, can anybody help me to set up simplest working mail server for testing php scripts?
[18:01] <tensorpudding> hmm
[18:01] <tensorpudding> 4318?
[18:01] <tensorpudding> that sounds like what i have
[18:01] <Spaz_Dynamic> tensorpudding: thats what it says lol
[18:01] <tensorpudding> oh, that driver doesn't cover 4318
[18:01] <tensorpudding> hmm
[18:01] <Spaz_Dynamic> and I had a wubi install once a while back and I remember my wifi working then
[18:01] <abountu> hi, I just bought a Laptop with Intel I3 380M, which is a 64bit cpu, I went to the ubuntu website to download the latest version of ubuntu 10/10 and to install it, and I saw the website gave me 2 options 32(recommended) and 64, I was wondering why is the 32 recommended rather than 32, I would have thought I rather use the 64bit version to take advantage of the 64bit cpu architecture, anyone has any idea? thanks
[18:02] <tensorpudding> this is older
[18:02] <tensorpudding> the b43 driver covers it
[18:02] <g0rby> Hello => I recently restored my system after xp overwrote my bootloader - grub2 now launches ubuntu fine and grub-mkconfig generated a new file that i replaced. However now when the system boots my monitor displays signal out of range until i hit enter and it boots the first entry. How do i go about changeing the res or whatever so i can see the menu again?
[18:02] <charlie_> what version of Ubuntu will be the next LTS?
[18:03] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: which version of ubuntu?
[18:03] <Spaz_Dynamic> tensorpudding: 10.10
[18:03] <xangua> charlie_: 10.04, add 2 years
[18:03] <charlie_> 12.04
[18:03] <erUSUL> !dulaboot | shoresh
[18:03] <charlie_> thank you
[18:03] <erUSUL> !dualboot | shoresh
[18:04] <ImperialXT> hmm I thougnt LTS was always .04 ?
[18:04] <tensorpudding> for copyright reasons the firmware needed for the driver isn't included
[18:04] <tensorpudding> did you try looking at the Additional Drivers configuration?
[18:04] <g0rby> Where can i change the resolution that grub2 uses to display its boot menu?
[18:04] <g0rby> I cant see the list
[18:05] <numberto> First time using gwibber and get this while trying to add twitter account (same error on 10.10 and 11.04) - "Peer failed to perform TLS handshake"
[18:06] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: if it doesn't show up in that, you're going to have to either wait for 11.04, or follow some steps in a tutorial to build the driver
[18:06] <Spaz_Dynamic> tensorpudding: only finds something for my ATI gfx card. I'm pretty sure if I had installed it and lugged my computer to an ethernet cable and told ubuntu to update, it would fetch a driver for it. it seems like thats what it did before
[18:06] <charlie_> has anyone tried the Ubuntu 11.04 beta? Is it possible to switch from Unity to Gnome in Ubuntu 11?
[18:06] <erUSUL> ImperialXT: all LTS are .04 ( except 6.06 that slipped two months ) but not all .04 are LTS
[18:06] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: oh, you're not online right now?
[18:06] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: the driver won't appear until it connects for updates
[18:07] <g0rby> Is there some autoconfig for grub2 that i can run so it will redetect what res to use so i can see my boot menu list?
[18:07] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: if you had an ethernet cable you could get it right off
[18:07] <Spaz_Dynamic> tensorpudding: No, i'm on my laptop running puppy linux xD
[18:07] <brewster> i can't access my trash, the computer location or any removeable media. How do i fix this?
[18:08] <g0rby> dpkg--reconfigure grub / grub2 says its not installed =/'
[18:08] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: i guess one way to do it, is to download the packages required to a flash drive and install them
[18:08] <erUSUL> charlie_: there is a gnome3 ppa ask further questions in #ubuntu+1
[18:09] <ImperialXT> kk ty erUSUL guess I'll read more up on that in the morning
[18:09] <Spaz_Dynamic> tensorpudding: that would work. Where do I go for that?
[18:09] <ImperialXT> night
[18:09] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: the required package is b43-fwcutter
[18:09] <uRock> Has anyone ever seen  wireless drivers show in System> Admin> Additional Drivers?
[18:09] <popey> uRock: yes, on my mac laptop
[18:09] <ImperialXT> uRock:  yes
[18:09] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: but, it might be nicer to wait for three more days
[18:10] <uRock> thanks, I had noticed that advice given, but had never actually seen it in action
[18:10] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: it's probably not worth installing 10.10 now, because 11.04 is going to release
[18:10] <g0rby> im worried that if i reconfigure grub-pc or grub-common it will mess up current grub config even more
[18:11] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: not that you have to wait three days to use 11.04, that's just when it releases
[18:11] <MK``> !metacity
[18:11] <Spaz_Dynamic> tensorpudding: honestly, not wanting to install ubuntu. I'm just wanting to use the live cd for the time being. I'm wanting to get slackware installed but loading the kernel off of their boot disk hangs
[18:12] <Spaz_Dynamic> tensorpudding: My goal is to get a dual boot of windows7 and slackware. slack would be my primary, and windows7 would be there for games that don't run under linux, even with wine
[18:13] <g0rby> Could some one try to help with my grub problem?
[18:13] <Dominater> my pc just froze, how do i find what cause the problem?
[18:13] <tensorpudding> Spaz_Dynamic: if you don't want ubuntu, maybe you ought to be checking on the slackware channel to figure out why your boot disk doesn't work...
[18:13] <Spaz_Dynamic> g0rby: Go to the store and get some pesticides?
[18:13] <Spaz_Dynamic> =P
[18:13] <g0rby> => =/
[18:13] <brewster> rofl
[18:14] <escott> g0rby, sorry i missed what your problem was
[18:14] <cyoz> how can I cd into a folder that has spaces in the name?
[18:14] <Dominater> my pc just froze, how do i find what cause the problem when i restart the computer?
[18:14] <Spaz_Dynamic> tensorpudding: Yeah, I have been. they're not sure currently. I'm getting the impression that my DVD is garbage
[18:14] <escott> cyoz, cd "foo bar" or cd foo\  bar
[18:14] <escott> cyoz, or cd foo[TAB]
[18:15] <Dominater> someone?
[18:15] <tic^> !grub | g0rby
[18:15] <tic^> back
[18:15] <g0rby> think i bricked it even more now =/
[18:15] <cyoz> escott, thanks the tab function is handy
[18:15] <cyoz> he completed to: cd The\ Strain\ Book1/
[18:15] <Dominater> my pc just froze, how do i find what cause the problem when i restart the computer?
[18:15] <g0rby> Is there some autoconfig for grub2 that i can run so it will redetect what res to use so i can see my boot menu list?
[18:15] <minimec> Dominater: If you can access the frozen computer via network and ssh, try that and read /var/log/syslog
[18:15] <g0rby> Hello => I recently restored my system after xp overwrote my bootloader - grub2 now launches ubuntu fine and grub-mkconfig generated a new file that i replaced. However now when the system boots my monitor displays signal out of range until i hit enter and it boots the first entry. How do i go about changeing the res or whatever so i can see the menu again?
[18:15] <g0rby> there ^^
[18:15] <minimec> Dominater: Maybe also other logs.
[18:16] <arand> g0rby: Do you have any specific option for your grub?
[18:16] <Dominater> thanks i try that
[18:16] <brewster> can anyone help me with my problem?
[18:16] <g0rby> Well, since typeing that i have bricked it even more by running reconfigure grub-pc
[18:16] <spyder49>  /load .xchat2/budus.so
[18:16] <arand> g0rby: And have you run update-grub from your ubuntu install since reinstalling it?
[18:16] <brewster> i can't access my trash, the computer location or any removeable media.
[18:16] <g0rby> so, booting from live again
[18:17] <xangua> !info startupmanager | g0rby
[18:17] <minimec> Dominater: Otherwise restart the computer and tryto find the errors in the mentioned logfiles. Problem is, that your present boot is also log. You will have to search a bit. Look at the timestamps.
[18:17] <g0rby> arand: yeah i had and it left me with a working menu but the scrteen res was out of range
[18:17] <g0rby> arand: i know the menu was there however as the system only continued to boot after pressing enter
[18:17] <minimec> Dominater: ..and don't repet your question just after 10' ;)
[18:18] <arand> g0rby: When you use reconfigure you will need to specify the correct drive to install mbr to, from the liveCD I guess you just reinstall it as you did before.
[18:18] <arand> g0rby: Do you use a dual-boot?
[18:18] <abountu> I just bought a Laptop with Intel I3 380M, which is a 64bit cpu, I went to the ubuntu website to download the latest version of ubuntu 10/10 and to install it, and I saw the website gave me 2 options 32(recommended) and 64, I was wondering why is the 32 recommended rather than 32, I would have thought I rather use the 64bit version to take advantage of the 64bit cpu architecture, anyone has any idea?
[18:18] <Dominater> minimec , should i login to recovery mode?
[18:18] <g0rby> arand: yes
[18:18] <xangua> abountu: use what you want
[18:19] <Souperman> how do i know what kernel im currently using?
[18:19] <g0rby> arand: installed ununtu - xp - booted from live - got ubuntu back but no menu
[18:19] <minimec> Dominater: hmm... It wil also log your boot, I guess....
[18:19] <leapy0yo> hi
[18:19] <abountu> xangua, ok I know, but is there any pros and cons for one or the other?
[18:19] <xangua> Souperman: uname -r
[18:19] <Souperman> kk thanks xangua
[18:20] <leapy0yo> how can I have a setup so that all messages and warning are into one /var/log file  ? myabe verything that happens on or maybe just warnings, how do i do that?

[18:21] <chegibari> thanks again bye!
[18:22] <KM0201> brewster, what happens when you try to access them?
[18:22] <brewster> nautilus cannot handle <fill in location> locations
[18:22] <arand> g0rby: Would you be able to pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[18:23] <KM0201> brewster, try this.. open a terminal and type "nautilus /home/(yourusername)" (no quotes).. and see if nautilus opens your home folder
[18:23] <g0rby> arand: its bricked atm so makeing a new boot usb ^^
[18:23] <brewster> it does
[18:24] <KM0201> brewster, ok... right click a folder inside home... and choose properties, then click the "Open With" tab.. .and make sure "Nautilus" is checked.
[18:24] <g0rby> got back from a holiday and didnt really remeber what state it was in
[18:24] <przemoReX> I'm trying to set up postfix to send mails from php script, but anytime I run the script it sends nothing only I gat "postfix/postdrop[6811]: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file or directory"
[18:26] <KM0201> brewster, did that fix the problem?
[18:27] <brewster> im not sure
[18:27] <brewster> it works for now but the problem usually comes back when i restart
[18:28] <brewster> thank you for your help
[18:28] <brewster> ill be back if it didn't work after i reboot
[18:28] <leapy0yo> any of you uiinstall lsb or linux standard base? i wam wondering if it is good to just install it
[18:29] <g0rby> arand: ty for help tho => will boot from live mount the drive and re-do grub-install and that will prob get me back to same place
[18:29] <lioop> sup guys
[18:30] <Fissscher> Guys have a question i just found an old game [ Herose 3] and want to instal it on ubuntu anybody knows how?
[18:30] <lioop> Where is the mandvd directory located?
[18:30] <lioop> Where are the "program files"
[18:30] <erUSUL> Fissscher: a windows game?
[18:30] <erUSUL> !wine > Fissscher
[18:30] <SnowmanX11> Fissscher: go to winehq for finding the answer
[18:31] <brewster> KM0201: the problem is back
[18:31] <SnowmanX11> Fissscher: I gues you have a windows install cd, isn't it?
[18:31] <brewster> now it won't mount my removable media and my trashcan is missing
[18:31] <Fissscher> yes it is windows cd
[18:31] <KM0201> brewster, what was under the "Open With" tab..
[18:32] <brewster> i dont see it anymore
[18:33] <lioop> where are the "program files" in ubuntu
[18:33] <lioop> is it in the bin?
[18:33] <erUSUL> !fhs | lioop
[18:33] <lioop> huh
[18:34] <SnowmanX11> lioop: nope. In your home directory. Most of them are hidden.
[18:34] <SnowmanX11> lioop: Use nautilus, push CTRL+H and you will see the program folders
[18:34] <erUSUL> lioop: program files are scattered in different places. /usr/bin/ /usr/lib/ /usr/share/ etc ....
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> there is no 'program files' directory lioop  - linux dosent work that way. :) see what erUSUL  said.
[18:35] <SnowmanX11> lioop: everything depends on what you are looking for
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> lioop:  what are you trying to do exactly
[18:35] <erUSUL> !xy
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> X-Y=Z
[18:36] <SnowmanX11> ubottu is overtrained a little bit...
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> Guess she showd you. :)
[18:37] <SnowmanX11> Hehhe! I know that you don't
[18:37] <lioop> Dr_Willis: I am trying to locate the mandvd directory
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> lioop:  try 'locate mandvd'
[18:37] <SnowmanX11> lioop: for what purpose?
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> lioop:  or 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate mandvd'
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> !info mandvd
[18:37] <g0rby> isnt there a dpkg switch that shows you a pacakges installed files location? that he could use
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> Or theresd tools to show what files came from what packages. i always forget what it is.
[18:38] <erUSUL> lioop: g0rby --> dpkg -L packagename
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> synaptic can do it - in the details/properties of the  program
[18:38] <lioop> Dr_Willis: when I start mandvd it says "please remove lockfile.run in mandvd/ directory
[18:38] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: dpkg -S fullpathtofile
[18:38] <erUSUL> !info apt-file
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> lioop:  that would proberly be a file in th eusers home directory. look in .mandvd  perhaps.
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> lioop:  programs use lockfiles so they dont get ran more then once at a time. if they crash. the lock can get stuck.
[18:39] <salvatore> ciao
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> definatly a XY question. :)
[18:39] <salvatore> chi mi pu├▓ aiutare con un dilink dns 323
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> perhaps in .config/mandvd also. its hard to tell where progams put their config files these days
[18:40] <maco> salvatore: portuges?
[18:40] <erUSUL> lioop: look in /var/run/ too
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> night all.
[18:40] <g0rby> arand: ok back to same situation - system boots grub.cfg looks good but res is out of range so dont see anything
[18:40] <erUSUL> maco: italian
[18:40] <erUSUL> !it | salvatore
[18:40] <maco> erUSUL: italian has accent marks?
[18:41] <erUSUL> maco: all roman languages have them afaik ;P
[18:41] <erUSUL> maco: roman as in derived from latin
[18:41] <lioop> I cant find it
[18:41] <lioop> can I just search for lockfile in the gnome?
[18:41] <njo> hi I am trying to use ubuntu as a thin client to RDC into a windows terminal server. I have created a script and made it executable. it runs on start up automatically and the user does not know the differece. the only problem i am having is at the end of the session. I want to make it so that when they log off, the machine shuts down. so far I have had no luck with the halt command.
[18:41] <njo> this is my script: !/bin/bash tsclient -x /home/nestor/.tsclient/rdesktop.rdp sudo /sbin/halt
[18:42] <njo> can anyone give me a hand? i am pretty new to linux
[18:42] <mujahid> how can i run php mysql on linux?
[18:42] <erUSUL> lioop: looked in /var/run/ ?
[18:42] <lioop> no lockfile
[18:42] <lioop> yes
[18:43] <mujahid> Hi all...Can any one please tell me how can I run PHP MYADMIN on Ubunut?
[18:43] <erUSUL> !lamp | mujahid
[18:43] <escott> njo, tsclient will need X server. if you don't want the user to see the gnome desktop (and have only the tsclient) I would suggest creating a custom xsession, im sure there is a way to make X halt the machine when x closes
[18:44] <grandz> hi, after i used ctrl+alt+f4 touchpad on my laptop stopped work, i tried lots of solution and nothing helps, anybody have idea how to make it run again?
[18:44] <njo> thanks escott, i will give that a shot
[18:44] <njo> I thought it might be a permissions issue using the sudo command
[18:45] <mujahid> ubottu.....thx but I have to work on JSP.....would it be helpful in that case?
[18:46] <escott> njo, you would need to use sudo to halt but for a solution like this a custom x session may be more what you want
[18:46] <escott> also the normal user will not be able to use sudo
[18:46] <njo> ok, sounds good i will try that instead
[18:46] <erUSUL> mujahid: phpmyadmin runs on php; so you need it to run
[18:46] <grandz> can anybody help me with touchpad ?
[18:46] <sec_goat> The command line is intimidating me, how can I navigate to a network location and copy those files toa  local directory?
[18:46] <erUSUL> mujahid: if you do not want to install php use another mysql admin tool
[18:46] <Diverdude> is scp faster than sftp?
[18:46] <kesor> when 11.04 comes out do i cant not use 10.10 anymORE?
[18:46] <mujahid> oh dear i have to use database only.....

[18:47] <mujahid> I have installed mysql admin tool....also

[18:48] <grandz> can anybody help me with touchpad ?
[18:48] <Diverdude> When i copy with scp in terminal it has speed 10 MB/s when i do sftp in nautilus it is 1 MB/s. why?
[18:48] <sec_goat> erUSUL: I have not mounted it? it's a Samba share for my windows machines. I am still a bit new to all of this
[18:48] <maco> Diverdude: id try that sftp in terminal too for a better comparison. id guess nautilus has some overhead
[18:49] <sagaci> grandz, doesn't look like it so be try a bit later
[18:49] <Diverdude> maco, lol it has 10xoverhead in transfer speed just to show some gui crap?
[18:49] <moth> i cannot start my computer. X system is not working. could anyone help me with that?
[18:49] <erUSUL> sec_goat: you used the gui to navigate to it? thne in command line you have to go to   ~/.gvfs/ doing ┬½ cd ~/.gvfs/ ┬╗ in the terminal
[18:49] <erUSUL> !cli | sec_goat
[18:49] <maco> Diverdude: when you create a remote filesystem through nautilus....its actually mounting a remote filesystem, not just adding "some gui crap"
[18:49] <maco> Diverdude: there's an extra layer of indirection in your ~/.gnomevfs
[18:49] <mujahid> E: dkimproxy: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[18:50] <sec_goat> erUSUL: I wish I could use the GUI, but can't seem to get the vncviewer to connect when outside the building. . . I found the CP command to copy on CLI but i do not knwo how to find where the darn files are
[18:50] <maco> Diverdude: so yeah, i wouldnt be surprised if it created a LOT of overhead.  copying files locally is slower through nautilus or dolphin than through the command line, IME
[18:50] <mujahid> I am getting this error while installing new package..with sypantic
[18:50] <g0rby> arand: still here?

 E: dtc-toaster: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[18:50] <arand> g0rby: Yes, could you pastebin your grub.cfg please?
[18:51] <g0rby> arand: thats kinda hard, the system ius booting a kernel that has the wrong wifi driver =/
[18:51] <erUSUL> sec_goat: well to be able to access the files you have to first mount the windows share....
[18:51] <sagaci> No ethernet available?
[18:51] <g0rby> arand: there is an ok one on there, but its not default
[18:51] <Diverdude> maco, hmmm okay that really is is quite bad for linux i guess if it has to compete with windows gui copy which does not have such overhead
[18:52] <maco> Diverdude: does windows have a non-gui copy?
[18:52] <vesa_> can some one help me...  why my swap isnt working on lubuntu
[18:52] <Diverdude> maco, yeah it has xcopy

[18:52] <erUSUL> Diverdude: but you can not use xcopy to copy to a ssh server
[18:52] <vesa_> its there
[18:52] <vesa_> it should work
[18:52] <vesa_> but it doesnt :/
[18:52] <joeix> I've found that the sound output to my speakers is very quiet and I need to turn the volume all the way up in order to get it to a reasonable level for listening.  However when I use windows the sound is much louder even when I have the volume turned quite low.
[18:53] <spyder50> XEC cd $HOME/.xchat2/buduscript && ./install.sh
[18:53] <DexterF> hey
[18:53] <joeix> How can I increase the volume?
[18:53] <Diverdude> erUSUL, true...i guess windows dont use ssh servers...they rely on vpn tunnels?

[18:53] <vesa_> sagaci, its correct :/
[18:54] <DexterF> the screensave doesnt save the screen. have a 10.04 on a plasma, after a minute of OpenGL screensaver (or even after a few secs) I get a password dialog
[18:54] <erUSUL> Diverdude: well for file shring it uses SMB/CIFS ( samba ) not encrypted.
[18:54] <DexterF> if I had left and did not watch this, this rectangle would burn into the plasma
[18:55] <Diverdude> erUSUL, yes ok...but if that is run over VPN it is automatically encryoted no?
[18:55] <vesa_> if some guru could d

[18:59] <grandz> can anybody help me with touchpad ?
[18:59] <OerHeks> Syria, if this works for you too, please leave a comment on the forum.
[19:00] <sagaci> grandz, what's wrong with it
[19:00] <Souperman> should i upgrade ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10?
[19:00] <Syria> OerHeks I have to reboot now and I hope that it works, I have bookmarked this page and I will leave a comment. :)
[19:00] <walmik> hello
[19:00] <sagaci> depends
[19:00] <OerHeks> Syria, go ahead.
[19:01] <vesa_> erUSUL, well i have this in my fstab: UUID=67ba5488-8cad-4278-b50c-e9f1c0e06be8 none            swap    sw              0       0
[19:01] <pylix> Souperman: I think so
[19:01] <walmik> is there some way to switch the default unity to GNOME in nebook remix?
[19:01] <grandz> hi, after i used ctrl+alt+f4 touchpad on my laptop stopped work, i tried lots of solution and nothing helps, anybody have idea how to make it run again?
[19:01] <sagaci> !hi
[19:01] <erUSUL> vesa_: yes; what is the problem with it?
[19:01] <oCean> Souperman: no real *need* to upgrade. 10.04 is an LTS relase, meaning it has 3 year of support
[19:01] <Somelauw> Stupid question, but can you launch gnome, awesome or kde from tty?
[19:01] <vesa_> well i dont have any swap :/
[19:01] <Syria> bye for now.
[19:01] <jbarbero> Hi, sorry, this is probably a really obvious question, but I've just switched from Debian (using wicd) to the latest Ubuntu. I'm being driven mad by the constant notifications of wireless disconnect/connect even though I'm plugged into a wired interface and it's working. In wicd I could set wireless to be disabled when the wired interface was available. Is there any way to do that in NetworkManager?
[19:01] <vesa_> erUSUL, i dont have any swap
[19:02] <walmik> or is there some way to get rid of the left sidebar on ubuntu netbook remix?
[19:02] <erUSUL> vesa_: what does "swapon -s" says ?
[19:02] <sagaci> No idea, what model of laptop?
[19:02] <escott> DexterF, is the password dialog box counting down? my crazy theory is that you have your screen configured to sleep after X minutes and the plasma is not sleeping, but when the display goes to sleep screensaver draws the password dialog because it *knows* that the next time the screen will show the password dialog will be needed
[19:02] <Souperman> well no upgrade then, things are working fine
[19:02] <oCean> Souperman: same here :)
[19:02] <vesa_> erUSUL, empty
[19:02] <erUSUL> vesa_: sudo swpaon -a

[19:03] <Kick> Does anyone know how I can remove the wine menu under applications?
[19:04] <sagaci> Souperman, only upgrade if you want newer versions ofsoftware
[19:04] <erUSUL> vesa_: well looks like the swap partition is gone or the uuid changed. did you edited your partitions recently ?
[19:04] <escott> Kick, there is a menu editor alacart
[19:04] <escott> alacarte
[19:04] <Kick> escoload_, thank you
[19:04] <nit-wit> jbarbero, if you turn off the auto connect of the wireless you should be there.
[19:04] <jbarbero> nit-wit: all I see is whether to connect to a particular network automatically or not. To put it simply, all I want is for wireless connections to happen when I'm not plugged in, and stop when I'm plugged in. I know how to do that in wicd, and I'd rather not have to write some daemon to do it for me.
[19:05] <vesa_> erUSUL, yeah i did. so that is the reason
[19:05] <jbarbero> nit-wit: OK, I did that. Let me see if it reconnects if I unplug.
[19:05] <erUSUL> vesa_: run ┬½ sudo blkid ┬╗ and find out the new uuid then update/edit fstab to reflect the changes
[19:05] <nit-wit> jbarbero, Ubuntu supposedly does this automatically but the popup is irratating
[19:05] <vesa_> erUSUL, ok :D
[19:06] <Alexqw> I am trying to mount a UFS formatted DVD-RAM disk.  I know that it is ufs2 and that the block size is 16384.  However, the mount command doesn't seem to accept "blocksize" as a valid option.  When I don't specify block size it errors out with "UFS: failed to set blocksize."  The command I'm using is: `mount -t ufs -r  -o blocksize=16384 -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sr1 /mnt/temp/`  Is it possible to mount a UFS volume on Ubuntu and specify the correct block size?
[19:06] <nit-wit> jbarbero, you may need to restart x to get the change to NM take effect I'm not sure, probably not.
[19:06] <sagaci> vesa_, knew it was in your fstab :)
[19:07] <g0rby> Could some one have a look at my grub.cfg? http://pastebin.com/YrDCeLZD the system boots if i press enter but the menu is out of range of the monitor so its just a black display until the default option has booted
[19:07] <jbarbero_> nit-wit: only result was that it did not try to reconnect when I disconnected. Besides, I'm not looking for an essid-specific setting...
[19:07] <vesa_> sagaci, heh, wait i will reboot :P
[19:07] <jbarbero_> nit-wit: but my blood pressure has had enough of this :), I'll just leave  the damn thing be
[19:08] <namzezam> how to remove linux-headers-2.6.35-28-generic  ?
[19:08] <escott> g0rby, nothing in the grub.conf specifies the mode that I see. You say that it looked good after the first grub install, but a grub reinstall broke things?
[19:09] <sagaci> jbarbero_ overwhelmed by the futuristic software? :p
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> namzezam: same as any other package
[19:10] <erUSUL> !software | namzezam

[19:10] <namzezam> i tryied synapssys
[19:10] <namzezam> but

[19:11] <namzezam> it not let be reoved, sayng some thing like , i am in so much bad satae please reinsatll me, so i can no install nor remove it
[19:11] <lioop> like avi to dvd
[19:11] <lioop> ActionParsnip:
[19:11] <vesa_> sagaci, thanks to you too :D
[19:11] <cubix> Greetings!
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> lioop: devede is one option
[19:11] <sagaci> or handbrake
[19:12] <g0rby> escott: the system is booting the first option after i hit enter, i can see that from uname -r
[19:12] <lioop> I need something very simple
[19:12] <Alexqw> macca: What do you mean recomended?  Virtualizing Ubuntu works well, though obviously it's best to just install it and virtualize Vista instead ;-)
[19:12] <lioop> mandvd was perfect but unfortunatly its pooped up
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> lioop: from your first question, a DVD is already in DVD format by definition
[19:12] <macca> Alexqw: just wondering whether it works well
[19:12] <macca> so therefore my answer is yes
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> lioop: devede is simple enough
[19:13] <Alexqw> macca: yes it does work well.  I've never had any problems
[19:13] <macca> Alexqw: what software do you use
[19:13] <Alexqw> macca: virtualbox
[19:13] <lioop> ActionParsnip: I mean convert from avi to dvd
[19:13] <lioop> ActionParsnip: and then burn
[19:13] <Alexqw> macca: though on OS X I have also used Fusion by VMware
[19:13] <g0rby> escott: is there not some way to configure grub now so it autodetects the right video mode and updates the config or something? OR is grub-mkconfig meant to do that
[19:13] <macca> Alexqw: ok thats good, i will probably wait till 11 comes out on thursday though
[19:14] <Bob__> I want to run ubuntu + Windows but will be using just ubuntu for a time how do I run both while running ubuntu because the only way i can find is the wubi installer
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Macca: its one way, another is vmware and another is Microsoft virtual pc
[19:14] <arand> g0rby: Try using GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 (uncomment if neccessarcy) in /etc/default/grub and see if forcing that (or other resolutions) help?
[19:14] <escott> g0rby, grub2 autoconfigures itself when you load the vga modules. it works fine on my i3
[19:14] <arand> g0rby: after that run "update-grub"
[19:14] <Alexqw> macca: best of luck.  virtualization is so good now that for the kind of virtualization virtualbox is doing, Ubuntu doesn't even realize it's in a VM.
[19:14] <macca> bob: virtualization using virtualbox
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> lioop: yes devede will make a dvd iso which you can burn
[19:15] <macca> Alexqw: how much memory should i allocate from my vista 2gb system in order to still allow vista to work well for basic taks
[19:15] <macca> **tasks
[19:15] <leapy0yo> how do i format a usb card to fat32? under ubuntu
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> lioop: you could show initiative and research the app, you'll find its what you need
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> leapy0yo: use gparted
[19:16] <Alexqw> macca: ooph... 2 B is a bit low.  Vista like RAM... I would suggest 512 or 768 for Ubuntu and the rest for Vista.  but you will notice a performance hit
[19:16] <tmb_> Im trying to install Ubuntu 11.4 beta2 on a laptop and it is hanging after asking my account setup info (spinning cursor, keeps showing me the slideshow, no questions about disk partitioning).  "ps" doesn't show anything obvious.  Is there any way to see what it's doing?
[19:16] <lioop> ActionParsnip: ya man Im downloading it
[19:16] <lioop> ActionParsnip: I will check it out
[19:17] <escott> leapy0yo, install gparted would be your easiest cli is mkfs.vfat
[19:17] <Alexqw> macca: vista doesn't like much less than 2 GB.
[19:17] <macca> alexqw: a performance hit in vista or ubu
[19:17] <lioop> ActionParsnip: thanks
[19:17] <vesa_> http://www.gametrailers.com/video/episode-156-invisible-walls/713172 <--- wow my linux freezes after few minutes watching that...all my memory is gone after few mins :/
[19:17] <MC8> What's the ubuntu version of the registry editor?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> lioop: its not bad. 64bitness helps with tasks like that
[19:17] <Alexqw> macca: Vista.  But I would say either.  If you dedicate a lot to Ubuntu, ubuntu will be happy and Vista will be slow.  Also, vice-versa
[19:17] <g0rby> arand: success =>
[19:17] <escott> MC8, there is gconf-editor... which has desktop gnome configuration but not system config
[19:17] <macca> alexqw: i wont be doing much on win at all when using ubu its just far easier to switch back as vista takes ages to boot on my comp
[19:18] <g0rby> escott / arand - ty
[19:18] <MC8> escott: it's the one I meant, anyway. Thanks :)
[19:18] <namzezam> kire : some link? what is ubuuntu tweak?
[19:18] <maco> namzezam: unrecommended
[19:18] <vesa_> erUSUL, can you help me with that memory problem :)
[19:18] <macca> alexqw:so therefore i should be ok with 768 for ubuntu - whats the minimum 11 will be able to cope with
[19:19] <arand> g0rby: Excellent, well something remains wrong then in the grub autodetection of your video mode, you may want to report a bug in order for it to get fixed in the futore.
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Macca: use a light de like lxde instead of gnome and you will need to assign fewer resources to the VM
[19:19] <maco> namzezam: Computer Janitor should be able to help fine on cleaning up old stuff from your system. it's included by default
[19:19] <escott> arand, how does grub know that it can find /etc/default/grub? that seems flawed
[19:19] <g0rby> arand: strange as it didnt effect the intial install
[19:19] <tmb_> Can anybody help with Ubuntu 11.4 beta2 installation?  Is there another channel I should ask on?
[19:19] <vesa_> it happens with both
[19:20] <Somelauw> startx gnome?
[19:20] <macca> ActionParsnip: well 11 runs on unity anyway so i should be ok im guessing
[19:20] <vesa_> browsers
[19:20] <maco> namzezam: Ubuntu Tweak is the most recent in the long line of scripts that do things rather dangerously (not quite as bad as Automatix was, but still...)
[19:20] <vesa_> firefox and chromium
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Macca: lubuntu is made to run on 256mb systems :-)
[19:20] <g0rby> arand: actualy ... thats not true, since there was no menu when only one os was there :P
[19:20] <g0rby> will do
[19:20] <macca> ActionParsnip: looks like 750mb is ok then
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Macca: natty is offtopic here til release
[19:21] <macca> okay then
[19:21] <Alexqw> macca: I don't know what 11.04's minimum will be.  But 768 should be fine
[19:21] <tmb_> Where is Natty on-topic?  Is there a channel?
[19:21] <Alexqw> macca: experiemnt with it.  You'll figure out what works best
[19:21] <Pici> tmb_: #ubntu+1
[19:21] <tmb_> Thanks!
[19:21] <Pici> tmb_: Except spelled correctly: #ubuntu+1
[19:21] <Starminn> Pici: :)
[19:22] <Alexqw> So, to rephrase my UFS question from earlier... does anyone know where I should go to ask about the peculiarities of mounting UFS on Ubuntu?
[19:22] <Dirge1> i use intel core i3... what ubuntu download?(i386, amd64)
[19:23] <erUSUL> Dirge1: amd64
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Dirge1: how much ram do you have?
[19:23] <Dirge1> 4gb
[19:23] <arand> g0rby: Yea, if you don't have a dual-boot, the menu is hidden per default anyways, so probably you simply never saw the issue back then..
[19:23] <macca> another thing:- i have a 64bit processor but am only running a 32bit version of vista... will it be possible to virtualize ubuntu64 inside this
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> 64bit then  :-)
[19:24] <Alexqw> macca: no
[19:24] <Shaba1> Hello folks
[19:24] <Somelauw> awesome is already running. Can I go to tty1 and enter startx and it will start another instance of awesome?
[19:24] <Shaba1> is there and actual forum for wubi anywhere on the net.
[19:24] <Alexqw> macca: you should run i386
[19:24] <macca> Alexqw: ok then... will do:)
[19:24] <Shaba1> All the googleing I did turned up forums and blogs for ubuntu but not wubi specific ones
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Macca: considering you are assigning little ram to the vm, why 64bit?
[19:25] <namzezam> my only problem is  to get upgrade working
[19:25] <namzezam> it is already more than a week that it is not working
[19:25] <macca> ActionParsnip: very good point, i need to think before i speak
[19:26] <arand> Shaba1: I think the normal ubuntu forums would be the place... along with launchpad for bugtracking..
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Macca: its all good :)
[19:26] <damno> how can i disable auto-screen lock?
[19:26] <Dirge1> but trying running ubuntu amd64 LiveCD the staying black screen
[19:26] <namzezam> i came to this linux header since this block upgrading
[19:26] <Dirge1> i can do anything
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> damno: its in screensaver or power options
[19:27] <namzezam> this header is in section devel
[19:27] <Shaba1> thanks arand
[19:27] <Shaba1> Ok second question
[19:27] <escott> ActionParsnip, Macca one reason other than ram to run 64bit is to gain access to some of the newer wider SSE vector ops
[19:27] <Dirge1> just ctrl+alt+del = reset
[19:27] <namzezam> is it safe to remove it, if so how
[19:27] <Shaba1> which irc client do most linux users use?
[19:27] <namzezam> i am now rebooting
[19:27] <Alexqw> ActionParsnip: there are more advantages to 64-bit than more RAM, and actually contrary to popular opinion you can have well over 4GB of RAM on a 32-bit system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Dirge1: what gpu?
[19:27] <Shaba1> I am on mirc under windwos right now.
[19:27] <macca> escott: dont really need these myself
[19:27] <Alexqw> Linux supports up to 64GB of RAM on a 32-bit machines with PAE enabled.
[19:28] <Dirge1> nvidia Geforce 310M
[19:28] <m4xx> how do is set up a script to run after gnome login?
[19:28] <Pici> Alexqw: PAE does not support using more than 4GB of ram per process though.
[19:28] <damno> ActionParsnip: thanks. I just couldnt remember where it was :)
[19:28] <m4xx> i tried .gnomerc and that didn't work
[19:28] <Alexqw> pici: correct, but I don't imagine many of us are trying to do that on 32 bit systems
[19:29] <Dirge1> ActionParsnip, nvidia Geforce 310M
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Alexqw: i know that stuff but with little ram i doubt it'll get used in a way to need those features
[19:29] <escott> macca, there are also lots more registers. I understand that compiler writers think x86 is rather register starved and get a big boost from 64bit
[19:29] <Alexqw> I agree.  Just throwing it out there :-)
[19:29] <pozic> I have a graphical artifact (everything which is supposed to be white is black in nautilus, but other applications have the same thing) in the top left of my screen of about 7cm x 4 cm or so.
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Dirge1: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[19:29] <macca> escott: anyhow, i cant run it virtualized so its no good to me
[19:29] <pozic> Are there any new nvidia drivers available?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Pozic: there is a ppa with 270 driver
[19:31] <hareldvd> I would like to have the URL line get selected onfocus like on MS machines. Any idea?
 thx
[19:32] <DexterF> escott: cant follow, sorry
[19:34] <dcorbin_wk> How can I have a linux box report it's hostname and IP address to a DNS server (even though they're statically assigned)?
[19:34] <ashmew2> dcorbian_wk : you can use no-ip.org
[19:34] <alket> Hi, I want to update bluefish from this PPA https://launchpad.net/~klaus-vormweg/+archive/ppa , but I want just bluefish not other applications that are included there, how do I do that ?
[19:35] <ashmew2> make it fixed , instead of being changed each time , it will remain fixed
[19:35] <DexterF> escott: and no, no counting. just black screen,
[19:35] <DexterF> and the dialog
[19:35] <macca> Alexqw: does virtualbox take the full extent of the memory allocated to it even if not in use?
[19:35] <virgo> what does ubuntu need most, more coders or more good ideas?
[19:35] <ashmew2> dcorbin_wk : you can use no-ip.org . make it fixed , instead of being changed each time , it will remain fixed.
[19:36] <mfilipe> anyone knows any sensors applet to unity?
[19:36] <Alexqw> macca: what do you mean?
[19:36] <MK``> Are Mutter and Compiz ICCCM / EWMH compliant?
[19:36] <dcorbin_wk> ashmew2: no, this is for an internal set of machines.  I found nsudpate.  I just need to figure out how to find the machine to talk to.
[19:37] <macca> Alexqw: if i allocate 768mb to my virtual machine will the process constantly hog this much or is it adaptable based on what i am doing within ubuntu
[19:37] <Jordan_U> !ot | virgo
[19:37] <pozic> Where can I get the latest nvidia driver for the amd64 arch for Maverick?
[19:38] <pozic> Google points me at pkgs.org, which seems to be nothing official.
[19:38] <ikonia> pozic: why do you need newer ones ?
[19:38] <red2kic> pozic: Ubuntu's Additional Drivers. Otherwise, go to Nvidia website and run the bin yourself. It's always best to stick with your distro's stuffs.
[19:38] <Jordan_U> pozic: What is wrong with the drivers installed by System > Administration > Additional Drivers?
[19:38] <aif123> ok
[19:38] <m4xx> anyone?
[19:39] <aif123> gnome 3 on 10.04?
[19:39] <ikonia> m4xx: anyone what ?
[19:39] <m4xx> how can i execute a shell script on upon logging into gnome?
[19:39] <m4xx> .gnomerc doesn't seem to work
[19:39] <sec_goat> is there any way to check the validity of a raid from inside ubuntu?
[19:39] <ikonia> m4xx: there is an option for session startup programs
[19:39] <m4xx> neither does .profile or /etc/profile
[19:40] <red2kic> m4xx: System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications.
[19:40] <m4xx> need to do it from commandline
[19:40] <ikonia> sec_goat: sftware or hardware raid
[19:40] <macca> Alexqw: hello?
[19:40] <pozic> Jordan_U: I do not have that menu entry.
[19:40] <ikonia> m4xx: startup applications can run a shell script
[19:40] <padster> u know if u can use gnome 3/gtk3 with ubuntu 11.04 beta?
[19:40] <m4xx> i understand that, how do i set up a startup application from the command line?
[19:40] <Pici> padster : Natty/11.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[19:40] <m4xx> or how to i set up a global startup application?
[19:40] <aif123> any ubuntu 11.04 rc?
[19:40] <ikonia> m4xx: you don't - you use the gui
[19:40] <pozic> ikonia: because I just pointed out an issue I am having. The idea being that potentially that problem is solved in a newer version.
[19:40] <sec_goat> ikonia: Well the hardware raid would not let me install, so I used some option called Enable Serial ATA RAID configuraiton during the install. Ubuntu Server 10.04
[19:41] <jrib> m4xx: why do you need to do it from command line?  If you really want to add a .desktop file to ~/.config/autostart (iirc).  But just use the gui
[19:41] <ikonia> pozic: why do you think it's solved in the newer drivers ?
[19:41] <Jordan_U> Open a terminal and run "jockey-gtk".
[19:41] <Alexqw> macca: hey, sorry, I'm back.  i got interrupted
[19:41] <pozic> ikonia: I kind of hope that people that I am paying fix stuff.
[19:41] <ikonia> sec_goat: cat /proc/mdstat will show the raid array
[19:41] <jrib> Jordan_U: you didn't say "mother may i"
[19:41] <ikonia> pozic: you don't pay nvidia
[19:42] <Alexqw> macca: Virtualbox will claim all 768MB all the time, regardless of how much Ubuntu is using
[19:42] <pozic> ikonia: yes, I do/
[19:42] <ikonia> pozic: do you - you pay nvidia to write you kernel modules ?
[19:42] <macca> Alexqw: ok thanks
[19:42] <sec_goat> ikonia: cat /proc/mdstat
[19:42] <sec_goat> Personalities :
[19:42] <sec_goat> unused devices: <none>
[19:42] <pozic> ikonia: I paid for their product which includes drivers.
[19:42] <leapy0yo> how do i configure what applicatiokns ar listed in the applications pull down menu?
[19:42] <ikonia> pozic: not for linux it doesn't
[19:42] <Somelauw> When I run startx, does it start gnome window manager or what?
[19:42] <Pici> leapy0yo: Right click on the menu or run alacarte manually.
[19:42] <ikonia> sec_goat: there is no software raid arrays then
[19:43] <m4xx> jrib: awesome
[19:43] <m4xx> thanks =]
[19:43] <ikonia> pozic: an important step would be to verify if the problem you have is mentioned in the released notes of the current drivers as a fix
[19:43] <sec_goat> ikonia: Thats what I suspected, I am showing 2 hard drives in the computer management gui, any way to set up a post install software array?
[19:43] <ikonia> pozic: that way you know if it's worth the pain and risks
[19:44] <pozic> ikonia: the risks? Uhm, don't people, you know, TEST stuff before it is placed on a server to check for basic features?
[19:44] <escott> DexterF, sorry I keep losing my connection if you go into the screensaver power management is the "Put display to sleep when inactive" set to the same time as it takes for your password box to appear
[19:44] <erUSUL> sec_goat: system>admin...>disk utility can ( raid 1 only i think )
[19:44] <sec_goat> erUSUL:  thats exactly what I want!
[19:44] <DexterF> escott: ill check on that
[19:45] <pozic> ikonia: anyway, I asked a question. I suppose you are just here to waste my time?
[19:45] <erUSUL> sec_goat: well it can do raid  0, 1, 5 and 6.
[19:45] <pozic> I want to get the correct ppa with a launchpad URL containing it.
[19:45] <ikonia> pozic: not at all, I'm here to advise/help you not waste it, hence why it's worth checking if your problem is fixed in the new versions
[19:45] <ikonia> pozic: if not the risk is not worth it
[19:45] <sec_goat> erUSUL: Only have 2 drives so I was planning on a 1 any way :)
[19:46] <Macer> ugh. this resilvering it taking forever
[19:46] <ikonia> sec_goat: just grabbing a guide
[19:46] <ikonia> sec_goat: I assume you want a mirror ?
[19:46] <pozic> ikonia: can you please just answer the question and not lecture someone with likely more experience than you have?
[19:46] <sec_goat> ikonia: correct
[19:46] <ikonia> pozic: if you have more experience than me you wouldn't be asking such basic questions, so good luck
[19:47] <ikonia> pozic: pretty stupid to brag about experience when you don't know the others guys position
[19:47] <unitenight> After making changes to alsamixer, it will reset to default after reboot. How can I permanently change it?
[19:47] <ikonia> sec_goat: it's an old thread, I wrote it a long time ago, however it still works fine now
[19:47] <ikonia> sec_goat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=454116&highlight=ikonia+raid
[19:48] <pozic> ikonia: I see the kind of answers you are giving.

[19:48] <rwwowt> Hi guys! how can I run a .pl (perl) file from my prompt ?
[19:48] <Pici> pozic: Stop that.
[19:48] <Macer> so it remembers your settings
[19:48] <ikonia> pozic: good luck finding your basic URL then - I'll waste my time with other people
[19:48] <pozic> ikonia: I found the answer myself. Thanks for _nothing_.
