[19:58] <jaro123_> hi
[19:58] <jaro123_> how to increase number of loop devices form 8 to 32
[19:58] <juanjo> kjfdbgvfd
[19:59] <Kayne> [usr13] well, after doing that a lot of codes came up
[19:59] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l
[20:00] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit
[20:00] <usr13> Kayne: What size is the drive?
[20:00] <Kayne> [usr13] 80 gig
[20:01] <usr13> Kayne: So did you see something about /dev/sdb or sdc or ...?
[20:01] <Kayne> [Usr13] no i did not
[20:02] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit
[20:02] <Goliath> why cant i find enlightenment de in ubuntu?
[20:02] <Kayne> [usr13] typing sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit or fdisk -l is doing nothing
[20:03] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l
[20:03] <Goliath> !find enlightenment
[20:03] <RenatoSilva> changed from maverick to natty today, a total disaster. Lost of things not working. Did many people complain about it too? I don't know where to start, so chashed...
[20:04] <Goliath> is enlightenment called e17 in ubuntu?
[20:04] <oCean> !info e17 | Goliath
[20:05] <abstrakt> how do I make aptitude show me the NOT installed packages when I do a search
[20:05] <usr13> Kayne: If you are still using the same terminal where you were running   "tail -f /var/log/messages"  it's not gonna work, untill you kill tail.    (Or you can just use another terminal.
[20:05] <abstrakt> when I search for php5 for example, i get a nice list of the installed php5 packages, but i don't want that, i'm looking for packages TO install, aka that aren't installed yet
[20:05] <VCoolio> Goliath: yes, e17 is enlightenment, in development, not yet released but very usable
[20:05] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit
[20:05] <Kayne> I just figured that out
[20:06] <abstrakt> and the whole point of search, i thought, was so that I don't have to wade through the categories to find what i want
[20:06] <Kayne>  [usr13] i got new info
[20:06] <usr13> Kayne: Yes.....?
[20:06] <abstrakt> this is half the reason I usually just use synaptic
[20:06] <abstrakt> but, alas i'm on SSH at the moment
[20:06] <VCoolio> Goliath: check what svn revision number was used for snapshot packages, it may be outdated; see if it's better to compile from svn, if you know what that is and if you want e17
[20:06] <oCean> abstrakt: I never use aptitude. I do apt-cache search pckname
[20:06] <th0r> Kayne: there should be a url (http:.....) paste that here
[20:06] <gearaholic> I have 2 320GB disks and 2 1TB disks,  how should i configure them?
[20:06] <abstrakt> oCean, ahhh, apt-cache, nice ok thanks
[20:06] <usr13> Kayne: What does fdisk say about it?
[20:07] <RenatoSilva> emerald worked with maverick but not anymore with natty, right? why
[20:07] <Kayne> I don't understand it, but it looks like  only two dicices are found and neither are what i want
[20:07] <usr13> Kayne: As th0r says, show us the URL
[20:07] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit  #And send resulting URL
[20:08] <Kayne> [trying that now
[20:09] <Kayne> it says the program pastebinit is not installed
[20:09] <usr13> Kayne: So install it.  sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:09] <maxoph> hello
[20:09] <Kayne> it couldnt find the package pastebinit
[20:10] <maxoph> anybody play xbox here?
[20:10] <oCean> maxoph: how is that ubuntu related?
[20:10] <maxoph> err...
[20:10] <maxoph> i dont know
[20:10] <maxoph> i was just asking
[20:10] <maxoph> do you play ocean?
[20:10] <oCean> maxoph: this channel is for ubuntu support, try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[20:11] <usr13> Kayne: Is this computer is connected to the internet?
[20:11] <julien187> hello to all, i have a problem with jaunty repositories, could you please give me a hand? http://paste.ubuntu.com/629507/
[20:11] <Kayne> [usr13] yes it is
[20:12] <Ampelbein> !jaunty | julien187
[20:12] <usr13> !paste | Kayne
[20:12] <julien187> !eol
[20:12] <usr13> !pastebinit | Kayne
[20:12] <hypercity> how can i reconfigure network interfaces during a alternate cd install....from command line?
[20:13] <V7|RTK> !van7hu
[20:13] <julien187> !upgrade
[20:13] <usr13> hypercity: sudo dhclient eth0
[20:13] <Kayne> [usr13] it says event not found.
[20:14] <usr13> Kayne: What says "event not found"?
[20:14] <DigitalSkin> was wondering how i would make  this run after every boot  ( xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0 ) in order to disable the touchpad on my laptop?
[20:14] <Kayne> when i typed !pastebinit
[20:14] <gearaholic> My motherboard supports "FakeRAID".  would that be better than using Software RAID?
[20:14] <usr13> Kayne: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:15] <Kayne> when i do that is ays  package not found
[20:15] <julien187> Ampelbein: thx for the info, but I have been able to install packages after 23 Oct 2010
[20:15] <oCean> Kayne: you should run the command without the '!', just pastebinit
[20:15] <Kayne> [oCean] i trided that too, it didn't work
[20:15] <Ampelbein> julien187: yes, the archive removal doesn't happen immediately.
[20:15] <RenatoSilva> how to restore volume control next to the clock? it disappeared, can't recall when
[20:16] <Ampelbein> julien187: but it is unsupported now.
[20:16] <usr13> Kayne: Ok, forget pastebinit.  Just highlight the output of sudo fdisk -l  and go to http://paste.ubuntu.com  hit the middle mouse button in the text area, put in a user name and click on "Paste!"
[20:16] <oCean> Kayne: what does the following command output?  apt-cache policy pastebinit
[20:16] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: what desktop environment?
[20:17] <usr13> Kayne: Well, not user name, but   "Poster"
[20:17] <sebsebseb> HI
[20:17] <julien187> Ampelbein: are you aware of (maybe unofficial) mirrors? any other solution? (I really dont want to upgrade, just install a few packages)
[20:18] <usr13> Kayne: See my PM.
[20:18] <Ampelbein> julien187: it's unsupported here in this channel and most people (including me) don't care anymore about it.
[20:18] <julien187> Ampelbein: fair enough, thanks for your time
[20:18] <maxoph> hey everyone
[20:18] <maxoph> im experiencing problem with gwibber
[20:19] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: what that means exactly? whether unity or classic?
[20:19] <maxoph> does anybody has the same problem too?
[20:19] <sebsebseb> Ok I know it's not really properly supported for 11.04, but anyone know of any tricks to get the Gnome 3 ppa working a bit better?  Or more specifically so that it works with my keyboard properly,  at the moment I can't type properly with it.  Can't add icons to the dash properly either.
[20:19] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: Unity is RIDICULOUS. Regardless, I can't see the volume control in both
[20:19] <sebsebseb> maxoph: I am having a bit of an issue with Gwibber at the moment actsualley, but what's yours?
[20:19] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: is indicator-sound installed?
[20:20] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: lms
[20:20] <Kayne_> For some reason the chat stopped working, I am back now
[20:20] <usr13> Kayne: See my PM.
[20:20] <Kayne_> no i did not
[20:20] <Japeeh> Hi, does anyone have any idea what these commands actually do in this guide: http://www.techrecipes.net/operatingsystem/ubuntu/configure-huawei-e1552
[20:21] <usr13> Kayne: See my PM.
[20:21] <oldtopman> Whats the command for command information again?
[20:21] <Ampelbein> oldtopman: 'man'?
[20:21] <Kayne_> [usr13] i can't find it
[20:21] <usr13> Kayne_: Paste the output of fdisk -l  for us to see.
[20:21] <sebsebseb> !pm > maxoph
[20:21] <usr13> !paste Kayne_
[20:22] <Ribbley> Can anyone help? Im completely new to ubuntu and want to play starcraft 2 with a radeon x800 , i managed to get the game on with wine, but it draws very shiny graphics... :/
[20:22] <Kayne_> I am trying to
[20:22] <maxoph> my gwibber keeps crushing whenever i open it
[20:22] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: yes, installed. It seems the icon disappeared some point of time. MAYBE after today's upgrade 10.10 > 11.04, of which I'm very regretful
[20:22] <Ampelbein> Japeeh: the commands add a udev rule to switch modes on the stick
[20:22] <usr13> !paste | Kayne_
[20:23] <Ribbley> nobody ? :(
[20:23] <io> Japeeh: what is it that you want to know?
[20:23] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: but you do have sound on your system?
[20:23] <var9> ok this is weird
[20:23] <jnlsnl_> can I change the colour of the text in /etc/motd ? and how ? :-)
[20:23] <sebsebseb> maweki: Hey again
[20:24] <var9> i have a broadcom 4311 installed but when i run "~$ lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4" nothing is returned
[20:24] <sebsebseb> maweki: wrong person
[20:24] <sebsebseb> maxoph: Hey again
[20:24] <Kayne_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/629515/
[20:24] <usr13> Kayne: Ok, forget pastebinit.  Just highlight the output of sudo fdisk -l  and go to http://paste.ubuntu.com  hit the middle mouse button in the text area, put your user name in the blank that says "Poster" and click on "Paste!"
[20:24] <Kayne_> I hope that worked
[20:24] <maxoph> my gwibber keeps crushing
[20:24] <sebsebseb> maxoph:  it said you left,  ok so,  it crashes when you try to do what?
[20:24] <maxoph> and im running on ubuntu 11.04
[20:24] <io> jnlsnl_: yes using ANSI colour codes, check /etc/DIR_COLOR
[20:24] <maxoph> when i try to open it
[20:24] <OerHeks> Japeeh, those commands alter the HUWEI script
[20:24] <WeThePeople> a image is broken on a webpage i would like to see. can i fix the problem or does the webmaster have to?
[20:24] <Japeeh> io: to be honest, I want to know if the guide is BS
[20:24] <jnlsnl_> io great thanks! :)
[20:24] <sebsebseb> maxoph: are you just trying to load up Gwibber?  or are you setting up an account in it?
[20:25] <sebsebseb> trying to log into an account in it?
 did that work?
[20:25] <oldtopman> Ampelbein: Thats it! I kept entering male :P
[20:25] <maxoph> i worked fine when i was running on ubuntu 10.10
[20:25] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: yes, and I'm able to System > Preferences > Sound, and control the volume, but that sucks, I want the icon
[20:25] <maxoph> im trying to loas up gwibber
[20:25] <sebsebseb> maxoph: and you don't even have an account set up in it?
[20:25] <usr13> Kayne_:  Must be /dev/sdb  Right?
[20:26] <maxoph> yes i did
[20:26] <sebsebseb> maxoph: for?
[20:26] <io> jnlsnl_: sorry that file doesn't seem to list the codes any more (this shows how long it has been since I've done this). there's a list at http://pueblo.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/ansi_color_codes.html
[20:26] <maxoph> for facebook and twitter
[20:26] <maxoph> it worked just fine when i was running on ubuntu 10.10
[20:26] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: also, my keyboard has volume control, which shows a dark widget when used. But the original icon which should be next to the clock, it's not there
[20:26] <jnlsnl_> io yeah i was just looking and having trouble :p ill check out the link
[20:27] <Kayne_> no, i think the FAT32 is the usb stick where Ubuntu is running from  and the other one is the partioned HD with My Windows 7 OS  the last one is not showing up.
[20:27] <sebsebseb> maxoph: ok so is this after an upgrade from 10.10?
[20:27] <usr13> Kayne_: Do you know what the FAT32 drive is that has only one partition on it?  (Which is only a 16 gig HD)?
[20:27] <maxoph> yes
[20:27] <Kayne_> even though when i rund fdisk, or unplug the drive  and turn it on, The drive reads because the light blinks
[20:27] <io> Japeeh: numerous tutorials show the same instructions so I'm taking a guess and saying it's legit
[20:28] <sebsebseb> maxoph: you might have to set up the accoutns again in Gwibber for some reason or something, things can go wrong after Ubuntu upgrades
[20:28] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: hmm, I don't know. Please file a bug with launchpad about this.
[20:28] <usr13> Kayne_: Is it still plugged in?
[20:28] <Kayne_> yes. the 16 gig drive has linux on it
[20:28] <maxoph> but the thing is that gwibber wont load up
[20:28] <Kayne_> it is how linux got on to this computer
[20:28] <maxoph> i mean the gwibber window went blank
[20:28] <dsl_> hello. I have inherited a Freesco box that seems to be malfunctioning and i'd like to replace it with an Ubuntu based machine. All it does it receive incoming calls (i.e. dial up users) and run a simple ftp server. It looks like vsftpd will fulfill the ftp server needs but I can't figure out how to accept calls...any help please?
[20:28] <Kayne_> otherwise it would just be windows ,
[20:29] <maxoph> and then when i try to close it i was given an option to force shut it
[20:29] <jnlsnl_> io yeah i was just looking and having trouble :p ill check out the link
[20:29] <jnlsnl_> io woops sorry
[20:29] <zaksoldier> Hoi
[20:29] <letterbomb05> Hi I'm using gphpedit, however when I save files it creates a duplicate with ~ at the end (e.g file1.php file1.php~). How can I stop it doing this? It's annoying to have duplicates of everything.
[20:29] <jnlsnl_> io so apparently [34m is equal blue, but i don't see a clear example of how to use the codes =)
[20:30] <RenatoSilva> if sound gets out cropped in both windows and ubuntu, what does that could mean?
[20:30] <zaksoldier> Waar is iedereen
[20:30] <Kayne_> The 16 gig FAT Drive is not the one I want , nor is the 1.5 TB drive  there is a 80 gig drive i am trying to access, That is why i was trying to use testdisk, but i can't seem to get it to run.
[20:30] <oCean> zaksoldier: english please
[20:30] <enleth> Kayne_: solving problems that involve live data over IRC is difficult and risky. If you have a local Linux User Group nearby, I'd suggest contacting them, there's going to be at least one helpful person who will handle this for a beer and a "thanks" without much effort, or at least confirm that the problem requires professional data recovery services
[20:30] <zaksoldier> Ok
[20:30] <zaksoldier> I have 4 languages
[20:30] <enleth> Without screwing it up even more, that is.
[20:30] <zaksoldier> Cool
[20:31] <oCean> zaksoldier: and do you have a support question?
[20:31] <zaksoldier> Oh  I know you
[20:31] <Kayne_> [enleth] If I knew anyone who knoe a thing about linux i would have tried that. but everyone i know  knows Windows or Mac os
[20:31] <roestzwii> hey guys, i have a qt programm and i want to run it on an ubuntu server how do i do that, i installed qt on the server and now i try to use make
[20:31] <toad`> wish I could figure out why ubuntu logs out
[20:31] <toad`> every 2 minutes
[20:31] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: thanks anyway.  My issues seems related to the fact I'm an always upgrading user (I don't do a clean install since a long time)
[20:32] <io> jnlsnl_: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/adding-colors-to-your-motd-105038/
[20:32] <sebsebseb> maxoph: Gwibber uhmm
[20:32] <sebsebseb> maxoph: can be a bit buggy at times I think
[20:33] <Kayne_> i just don't understand why i can't run the file when i typerd the right sudo command
[20:33] <maxoph> so do you think you can recommend other gwibber like app?
[20:33] <sebsebseb> maxoph: let's take me for example, it was wroking fine with Identica :)  ,but then all of a sudden something about invalid signature, when I log in to the account in Ubuntu,  and then it wants a password  for something to do with that uh
[20:33] <var9> im trying to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx     but the first command returns nothing.  I havepulled the card and checked the part number and it is definately a 4311 broadcom
[20:33] <jnlsnl_> haha spot on, thanks io!!
[20:33] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: I didn't install since 8.10 (intrepid ibex), no such problems here. but then again, I regulary clean out cruft.
[20:33] <usr13> Kayne_: unplug it and plug it back in again.  Issue command "cat /var/log/messages"  and then put the last 15 or 20 lines of the ouptut on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[20:33] <zaksoldier> I have ubuntu 10.10 if I want to update it to 10.04 how much files he will take
[20:33] <maxoph> i see.these apps are quite unstable i guess
[20:34] <wols> var9: lspci -nn  what does it return? pastebin it
[20:34] <sebsebseb> maxoph: I would recommend using http://identi.ca :)  not Twitter,  in fact you could send from Identica to  your Twitter account,  can't send from Twitter to Identica like that though.   Also  quite a few programs that can be used for both  of them.
[20:34] <var9> can't pastebin it
[20:34] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: sorry what that means, clean out cruft?
[20:34] <zaksoldier> Sorry 11.04
[20:34] <var9> not online
[20:34] <wols> zaksoldier: you cannot "update" from 10.10 to 10.04
[20:34] <var9> w/ that box
[20:34] <zaksoldier> No sorry 11.04
[20:34] <Datz> Hi, does anyone know if munin plugins differ from debian to ubuntu?
[20:34] <Kayne_> [usr13] with or with out quotes?
[20:34] <sebsebseb> maxoph: what I found with the 11.04 repos though, is that loads of  these clients are missing
[20:34] <maxoph> ok.i'll give it a shot
[20:34] <wols> var9: there usually are two network cards in there. tell us the PCI IDs xxxx:xxxx
[20:34] <usr13> Kayne_: Without quotes
[20:34] <johwil> Hi. I've get an error from inforamfs everytime I make an install. Any clue how to fix it? Anyone................
[20:35] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: going through the list of installed packages and remove old ones, check for dangling config files, purge packages that were only removed etc.
[20:35] <sebsebseb> maxoph: however Choqok is in there for example a KDE client, that works great, when it works propelry
[20:35] <enleth> Kayne_: that might be a very stupid question, but is the testdisk version you have the correct one? Linux, architecture (32bit or 64bit) matching the system you have installed.
[20:35] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: like spring cleaning in your house ;-)
[20:35] <wols> Kayne_: have you installed your testdisk via ubuntu apt?
[20:35] <var9> 10de:0269
[20:35] <zaksoldier> wols: Sorry i mean 11.04
[20:35] <maxoph> i see
[20:35] <wols> var9: is this the only one?
[20:35] <maxoph> ill give it a shot too
[20:35] <var9> bsically
[20:36] <var9> hd audio is listed as well as...
[20:36] <wols> var9: not just "basically". YES or NO?
[20:36] <Kayne_> [enleth] I believe i have the 64 bit versions of linux and test disk
[20:36] <wols> I ask about network devices. not sound
[20:36] <sebsebseb> maxoph: hotot or whatever it's called, Tweetdeck,  there's Pino, but that might  not be being made anymore, loads of good clients.
[20:36] <var9> it is the only network card listed
[20:36] <var9> but not the only device listed
[20:36] <enleth> Kayne_: wols asked the right question - was it installed using apt? It should be available there
[20:36] <wols> var9: then your broadcom card [4~might be damaged
[20:37] <wols> enleth: it is
[20:37] <var9> ok i'll try to get a spare ty
[20:37] <sebsebseb> maxoph: I woudn't normally recomend Googleing whilst doing support, but you could Google  for  Twitter/Identica clients.
 no i don't think so  i downloaded it and  followed the instructions  contained on this page http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[20:37] <wols> var9: 10de:0269 is your nvidia onboard ethernet
[20:37] <wols> !pm > zaksoldier
[20:37] <zero_> hi guys
[20:37] <var9> yea wols
[20:37] <zero_> when i run x, it loads without the task bars at the top or bottom of the screen.  any ideas?
[20:38] <var9> it seems to interfere w/ the wireless card
[20:38] <johwil> Hi. I've get an error from inforamfs everytime I make an install. Any clue how to fix it? Anyone................
[20:38] <sebsebseb> maxoph: Oh connection issues? I  guess you didn't get some of my messages then?  altough they weren't thati mportant anyway
[20:38] <Nobgul-BNC> var9, Did you get back to a classic ubuntu desktop?
[20:38] <var9> or the wireless card is damaged like you suggested
[20:38] <enleth> Kayne_: nah, that's not the right way. Discard whatever you might have installed and run sudo apt-get install testdisk
[20:38] <usr13> Kayne_: So what you really have here is a Ubuntu system that you are running from a USB drive?
[20:38] <var9> yea Nobgul-BNC, ty
[20:38] <Nobgul-BNC> Sweet no worries. Had to step away from the pc.
[20:38] <wols> var9: no. you can try and use a different slot for the wireless card
[20:38] <maxoph> yea
[20:38] <maxoph> im sorry
[20:38] <DrGladwin> hi
[20:38] <Kayne_> [usr13] here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/629525/
[20:38] <maxoph> my internet connection has been bugging me too lately
[20:38] <var9> it's a laptop
[20:38] <enleth> Kayne_: if it still doesn't work, then we have a problem
[20:38] <var9> :/
[20:39] <Nobgul-BNC> var9, Is the switch for the wireless on?
[20:39] <wols> var9: then other things can be. use rfkill, enable the wlan in BIOS, etc
[20:39] <var9> yes it is on
[20:39] <enleth> Kayne_: those read errors for sdc are the disk you're trying to read data from?
[20:39] <Kayne_> <usr13. Yes, exactly
[20:39] <var9> i think i have a spare
[20:39] <zero_> when i run x, it loads without the task bars at the top or bottom of the screen.  any ideas?
[20:39] <var9> will test that first and report back
[20:39] <var9> it wasnt working in wondows 7 either
[20:39] <usr13> Kayne_: Ok. There it is.  It is [logically] sdc   And it says: " Unrecovered read error
 yes I think so
[20:40] <wols> var9: get rfkill and run rfkill unblock all
[20:40] <var9> well it was but only up until the nvidia driver loaded
[20:40] <usr13> Kayne_: The drive is not readable.  That is why you are unable to mount it.  The drive has a problem.
[20:40] <var9> then the wireless device disapeared from device manager
[20:40] <inktri> how can i calculate the md5 of a sum in command line? md5sum doesn't exist
[20:40] <enleth> Kayne_: that's the point where I usually unplug the thing and estimate wether the data stored on it is worth the $500 and up it costs to recover it
[20:40] <var9> ok
[20:40] <CHAD___> Is GPG or encfs recommended for file-based encrytion?
[20:40] <inktri> md5 of a string
[20:40] <wols> inktri: then install it
[20:40] <usr13> Kayne_: "... read error"
[20:40] <inktri> package doesn't exist wols
[20:40] <Kayne_> [what do I do about it then,
[20:41] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: I do that in my installation too
[20:41] <enleth> Kayne_: trying to do anything with a disk that has hardware problems is a bad idea. VERY bad idea. No, I'm not employed by a data recovery company.
[20:41] <oCean> inktri: yes, md5sum is in /usr/bin, it's part of the coreutils
[20:41] <wols> inktri: cause it's only a binary, not a package. go to packages.ubuntu.com and find out in which package the binary md5sum is
[20:41] <usr13> Kayne_: If you do not have the tools or expertise, go to someone that does.
[20:41] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: btw this hidden scrollbar in 11.04 is terrible
[20:41] <Kayne_> [well its 60 gigs of music and other media some of it irreplacible  and  this all suddenly happened whewn i upgraded to win 7
[20:42] <inktri> oCean: thanks
[20:43] <usr13> Kayne_: aaahhhh, that is good information.  Hold that thought. Tell the tech when you hand him the drive. That may be a clue that will help him to help you.
[20:44] <usr13> Kayne_: And next time, upgrade to Ubuntu   :):):)
[20:44] <usr13> not win7
[20:45] <claviusmond> when I turn off my 11.04 all I see is a black screen, but the system does not turn off, whats wrong?
[20:45] <claviusmond> it stays turned on
[20:45] <Kayne_> I seriously barely understand this platform, and I am a heavy gamer, and graphic artist. most of the stuff that is use does nto run well on Linux :(
[20:45] <johwil> Hi. I get an error from inforamfs everytime I make an install. Any clue how to fix it? Anyone................
[20:46] <ubuntuman> My floppy cock is sore because this lexapro has killed by manhood.
[20:46] <rinkukokiri> why does ubuntu have to probe my external hdd when I open nautilus?
[20:46] <Kayne_> [enleth] the sudo apt-get install testdisk command could not find the pacakage,  why is it that ubuntu can't find packets for anything, using this command?
[20:46] <usr13> Kayne_: You have quite a bit of resources (here and elswhere) to solve Linux/Ubuntu problems.  Much of the problems you have with MS Windows are a bit more of a chore to solve, (as is the one you have now).
[20:46] <wols> Kayne_: cause you have no internet access or your apt is misconfigured
[20:47] <wols> !errors > johwil
[20:47] <rinkukokiri> Does anyone know how I can watch Netflix on ubuntu without running a VM?
[20:47] <usr13> Kayne_: you might try the folks at  ##windows
 If i had no internet acces I couldnt' be here now , and I couldt acess  websites  so I know i have access.  so how do i configure the apt thing ?
[20:48] <claviusmond> when I turn off my 11.04 all I see is a black screen, but the system does not turn off, whats wrong?
[20:48] <zero_> does anyone know of a great hotspot software?
[20:48] <Ampelbein> Kayne_: what does 'apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME' say?
[20:48] <Kayne_> [usr13] The reason i am hsere is because there are so many youtube videos that say this stuff can be recovered with exactly the same problems.  i am frustrated.
 I have no idea, how do i find out ?
[20:49] <johwil> wols: The problem is that I get the error msg in Swedish....
[20:49] <wols> Kayne_: by typing it in!
[20:49] <usr13> Kayne_: You are running Ubuntu Linux on a 16gig thumb drive?  You have a 1500 gig drive in your computer?  hummmm.... I wonder... wait.... maybe you could bust up the 1500 gig drive and install Ubuntu on it?  Yes that might work :)
[20:49] <alex__> how do i put music on my ipod with rhythm box?
[20:50] <wols> johwil: "LANG=C <apt-get command to install"  and you will get it in english this time
[20:50] <spectrum> use banshee to sync ur music
[20:50] <alex__> what is banshee?
[20:50] <wols> alex__: a program
[20:50] <alex__> <<
[20:50] <spectrum> its like rythmbox
[20:50] <alex__> where can i get it?
[20:50] <alex__> software center?
[20:50] <spectrum> google?
[20:50] <spectrum> and sof cent
[20:51] <wols> alex__: same place where you get other software in ubuntu
 I am totally scared i will  screw up windows if I do that, and  i honestly don't see myslef using  this on a regular basis  because of how complicated all of this has been
[20:51] <rinkukokiri> Does anyone know how I can watch Netflix on ubuntu without running a VM?
[20:52] <wols> rinkukokiri: there is no way. cannot be due to DRM
[20:52] <rinkukokiri> so I pay for a service i can't use...
[20:52] <rinkukokiri> figures
[20:53] <wols> rinkukokiri: I'm sure you were told beforehand that it'
[20:53] <wols> that it's a windows only service
[20:53] <dijonyummy123> keyne: i have both my laptop and desktop on linux now. it does take some effort to get everything all setup but once you do you learn a lot and can automate things so its nice.
[20:53] <rinkukokiri> not that i was aware of
  all i get when i type that command is the following  W: Unable to locate package PACKAGENAME
[20:53] <Ampelbein> Kayne_: you should replace PACKAGENAME with the package you want to install.
[20:54] <dijonyummy123> i use 10.10.  dont go to 11.04 for your main pc
 it still can't find it
[20:56] <johwil> msg wols Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/629533/
[20:56] <Ampelbein> Kayne_: ok, can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com?
[20:56] <roestzwii> i compiled a c++ programm on my ubuntu server via ssh, how can i execute the programm now?
[20:56] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, you can't
[20:56] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, you have to use windows, either in a VM or a dualboot
[20:57] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, i actually do both, depending on whether or not I feel like turning my processor into plasma hotter than the sun
[20:57] <Kayne_> is that what i need to type ?  /etc/apt/sources
[20:58] <var9> wols, i unblocked all installed a new card and same issues
[20:58] <Kayne_> I'm typing  it and getting command not found
[20:58] <Ampelbein> Kayne_: type 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list', then copy the result to paste.ubuntu.com
[20:59] <wols> johwil: dpkg -S /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live
[20:59] <alex__> how do i sync music to my ipod with banshee spectrum?

[21:00] <twobitsprite> hey peeps... I just upgraded to natty and when I did my wireless stopped working. I was able to get it working by unblacklisting b43, but when I hit the wireless hardware button it turned off and now it won't turn back on, even after a reboot
[21:00] <wols> twobitsprite: use rfkill
[21:00] <twobitsprite> this is on a dell inspiron E1405 with BCM4311
[21:00] <var9> twobits i am having similar issues
[21:00] <twobitsprite> wols: tried that
[21:00] <var9> same card
[21:01] <twobitsprite> wols: well, treid "rfkill unblock all"
[21:01] <twobitsprite> also tried "rfkill unblock 0"
[21:01] <johwil> I get an  error message from inforamfs each time I try to install.  Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/629533/
[21:02] <Ampelbein> Kayne_: ok, you don't have the universe repository enabled. that's why you can't install software from there.
[21:02] <M0nk3Ee> I have been messing around with a different graphics card and it didn't work any better so have returned my machine to the original on board graphics card however now on boot i get just a blank screen after the initial ubuntu splash screen.  I can't even press ctrl + alt + 1 to get to different shell, I can ssh into the box still and all seems to be up.  can i reset the gdm back to the original settings?
[21:02] <Ampelbein> !universe | Kayne_
[21:02] <twobitsprite> wols: are there other rfkill commands I should try?
[21:02] <wols> johwil: answer see my command
[21:02] <wols> twobitsprite: not that I know of. read the docs for rfkill
[21:02] <M0nk3Ee> Sorry i'm running ubuntu 10.10
[21:02] <twobitsprite> wols: yeah, there's not much to them
[21:03] <twobitsprite> wols: when I do "rfkill list" it says "Softblocked: no" and "Hardblocked: yes"
[21:03] <OerHeks> twobitsprite, do you have besides ubuntu a windows partition ?
 it says event not found
[21:03] <twobitsprite> OerHeks: nope
[21:04] <mongy> I have a VPS with a basic server install.  How do I enable the tab completion with things like sudo apt-get in(tab should make it complete, it doesnt).  tab complete works without sudo but not WITH

[21:06] <david____> Hi, I can't get the beep command on my laptop to work
[21:06] <twobitsprite> ahh ha! fixed it... I did "sudo rfkill event" which listens for hardware events, and while that's running hit the soft-key for the wireless and it came right up
[21:06] <david____> Can I send the beep to my sound card instead ?
[21:06] <alex__> can somebody help? banshee doesnt read my ipod??
[21:06] <twobitsprite> var9: you said you were having the same problem? Try that ^^
[21:07] <var9> two bits
[21:07] <var9> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[21:07] <var9> i cant even see my card
[21:07] <var9> but the parnt number is 4311
[21:07] <david____> Can someone suggest a single command to generate a loud beep at the console on a laptop other than "beep" ?
[21:07] <twobitsprite> var9: ohh... did you try unblacklisting the b43 driver and rebooting?
[21:08] <johwil> wols; sorry but I still get the same error as before (http://paste.ubuntu.com/629538/)
[21:08] <var9> nah not yet
[21:08] <var9> i guess ill do that 1st?
[21:08] <var9> even though it's listed as the last thing
[21:08] <wols> var9: did you try rfkill list? to see if it's blocked in any way?
[21:08] <var9> rfkill list all returns nothing
[21:08] <var9> just back to cursor
[21:09] <goddard> why do people still support Google when they don't support Net Neutrality?
[21:09] <_alexsn> david__: sudo apt-get install beep
[21:09] <azripah> goddard, didn't you get the memo? Google's one of the 3 companies it's OK for hipsters to like
[21:09] <twobitsprite> var9: does it show up in iwconfig?
[21:10] <goddard> azripah hah
[21:10] <twobitsprite> azripah: google, apple, and what else?
[21:10] <azripah> twobitsprite: canonical ;)
[21:10] <Panthera> apple = shot
[21:10] <Panthera> shit
[21:10] <twobitsprite> azripah: ohh :P
[21:10] <var9> no wireless extensions it says
[21:10] <zaksoldier> Android
[21:11] <Panthera> someone have ida how kill to Apple ?
[21:11] <zaksoldier> Android vs. IOS
[21:11] <azripah> Panthera, I thought they were taking care of that themselves
[21:11] <Panthera> IOS = SHIT
[21:11] <IdleOne> !ot | Panthera

[21:11] <azripah> nobody's on ubuntu offtopic so I came here ;)
[21:12] <twobitsprite> var9: yeah, try unblacklisting the b43 driver and rebooting
[21:12] <var9> ok
[21:12] <var9> is there a seperate guide on that
[21:12] <RenatoSilva> could someone please help me to fix grub after ubuntu upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. What changed: it was black bg, bigger font, win7 as default, and as the 1st in the list. NOW: wine-color bg, smaller font, win7 is the last, and the list is duplicated
[21:12] <azripah> wireless problem or what?
[21:12] <var9> yea azri
[21:12] <EastDallas> This is not exactly Ubuntu specific, but when I try to SSH from a command line to any of my Cisco devices it just hangs until the login times out.  Any idea if there is a command line argument for SSH that i need to use?
[21:12] <guntbert> !who | azripah
[21:13] <azripah> RenatoSilva:what's the problem with grub?
[21:13] <twobitsprite> var9: edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf and remove the "#" in front of "b43"
[21:13] <RenatoSilva> azripah: sorry? I just said???????
[21:13] <azripah> RenatoSilva:it just sounds like an aesthetic problem, am I right?
[21:13] <var9> <3
[21:14] <RenatoSilva> azripah: any human obviously know that fix here doesn't mean a technical bug. The fix is for the problem of things changed as described.
[21:15] <johwil> I get an  error message from initramfs-tool each time I try to install.  Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/629533/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/629538/ Please, help me...
[21:15] <RenatoSilva> azripah: not only aesthetic. Win7 must be default as I said. The list should not be duplicated, as I said
[21:15] <azripah> RenatoSilva:just making sure. Anway, you can modify your menu.lst manually
[21:15] <azripah> RenatoSilva:stored in /boot/grub/menu.lst if I recall correctly, you can set defaults, remove duplicates, and remove the background color/splash image
[21:15] <zaksoldier> And linux (ubuntu) vs. Mac os X
[21:16] <eiriksvin> how do I apt-get limewire?
[21:16] <OerHeks> twobitsprite, friend is trying your solution now
[21:16] <eiriksvin> does anyone know the ppa?
[21:16] <azripah> eiriksvin: didn't limewire get shut down a few months ago?
[21:16] <sudokill> eiriksvin, its frostwire nw
[21:16] <sudokill> limewire died
[21:16] <Loto> eiriksvin : look for gnuetall clients
[21:16] <eiriksvin> yeah, frostwire
[21:16] <eiriksvin> thats it
[21:16] <azripah> frostwire will be fine
[21:16] <RenatoSilva> azripah: no easiest/wysiwygiest way you are aware of?
[21:16] <var9> twobitsprite, i guess it wasnt blacklisted
[21:17] <twobitsprite> var9: what do you mean?
[21:17] <sudokill> eiriksvin, can u not sudo apt-get install frostwire? or dont it have it?
[21:17] <var9> there is no #
[21:17] <pvh_sa> hey there, i have a laptop with a webcam using uvcvideo driver. it has terrible low light performance, so i'm wondering if you can change the exposure / shutter speed somehow?
[21:17] <azripah> RenatoSilva:Not that I know of, but I'm a more CLI oriented person. "sudo grub-setup" might do the trick, but I haven't used that for a good while, and it was only to setup linux multiboots
[21:17] <pvh_sa> this is on ubuntu 11.04
[21:17] <eiriksvin> I only tried limewire, thanks
[21:17] <twobitsprite> var9: ohh, I'm sorry, I was thinking backwards (dyslexic)... put a "#" in front of it :P
[21:18] <azripah> RenatoSilva:It should remove duplicates though, iirc
[21:18] <guntbert> RenatoSilva: btw: if you are on grub2 /boot/grub/menu.lst will probably not exist and will certainly not change anything
[21:18] <eiriksvin> no apt for frostwire
[21:18] <twobitsprite> because the command is "blacklist b43" and we want it unblacklisted, so we put the "#" in front to comment it out
[21:18] <var9> ah ok
[21:18] <sudokill> eiriksvin, idk then if there is a repo for it.
[21:18] <sudokill> i wouldnt do it from source
[21:19] <var9> i cant edit it...wat
[21:19] <azripah> eiriksvin: you can grab a deb from frostwire.com
[21:19] <guntbert> !grub2 | RenatoSilva
[21:19] <eiriksvin> looking now
[21:20] <RenatoSilva> guntbert:  I was about to make that point, iirc that file is for 0.x
[21:20] <sudokill> eiriksvin, go to frostwire website they have a deb file just double click to install from software centre
[21:20] <eiriksvin> got it already
[21:20] <sudokill> ok
[21:20] <eiriksvin> thanks though
[21:21] <var9> twobitsprite, how do i modify that document
[21:22] <RenatoSilva> guntbert: when it changed to 2, I had a similar problem. I know it's about renaming files and certainly editing some file for bg color, font size. Would you remind me?
[21:22] <twobitsprite> var9: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf
[21:22] <johwil> I get an error message from initramfs-tool each time I try to install.  Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/629533/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/629538/ Please, help me...
[21:22] <sudokill> inb4 gksudo
[21:23] <RenatoSilva> would anyone?
[21:23] <var9> tytytyt
[21:23] <azripah> sudokill: pfft, gksu
[21:23] <azripah> ;)
[21:23] <sudokill> :P
[21:23] <var9> twobitsprite, it wont save
[21:23] <guntbert> RenatoSilva: sorry, I never cared for color and such, but please use the links ubottu sent you and look into /etc/default/grub
[21:23] <Antilect> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNaIji_3xBE
[21:24] <shinji257> Hello.  I would like some assistance with ufw if possible.
[21:24] <wols> johwil: uninstall live-boot-initramfs-tools
[21:24] <twobitsprite> var9: what does it say when you try to save?
[21:24] <var9> twobitsprite, nevermind i think it did anyway
[21:24] <guntbert> Antilect: don't paste random links here
[21:24] <var9> rebooting
[21:24] <RenatoSilva> guntbert: ok
[21:24] <wols> johwil: and if you PM me one more time, I put you on /ignore
[21:24] <twobitsprite> var9: k
[21:24] <osse> Is it possible to pipe the colored output of one command to another and keep the colors?
[21:24] <alex__> guys how can i put music on my ipod touch with ubuntu?
[21:24] <Antilect> It's not random. It's about the free software revolution and important :)
[21:24] <alex__> can i use rhythmbox?
[21:24] <guntbert> wols: please don't announce that
[21:25] <johwil> wols, should I use any special command for uninstalling
[21:25] <azripah> osse: when I pipe the output of ifconfig to look for IP address, it stays in color.
[21:25] <guntbert> Antilect: in any case it is off topic here
[21:25] <Antilect> I see.
[21:25] <tzikuu> I want to install ipw2200 wifi driver. I copy *.fw to /lib/firmware and now i need to restart hotplug. But is no hotplug. How can i update my driver without system restart ?
[21:25] <johwil> wols, sry for the pm:s
[21:25] <osse> azripah, which program do you pipe it to?
[21:26] <sudokill> tzikuu, how come u cant reboot?
[21:27] <var9> twobitsprite, it didnt change anything
[21:27] <tzikuu> no, because i boot from usb...and if i reboot i will loose all
[21:27] <var9> i still can't see my card
[21:27] <var9> like it's not even recognised
[21:27] <var9> as anything
[21:30] <var9> idk guys the same things were happening in windows 7
[21:30] <var9> the wireless card would install up untill the ethernet card started
[21:30] <xevil> RenatoSilva: the file you'd be interested in editing is /boot/grub/grub.cfg... that took the place of menu.lst when grub migrated to grub2
[21:30] <var9> then the wireless card just disapeared
[21:31] <sudokill> tzikuu, can u not use an ethernet just for the install
[21:31] <guntbert> xevil: it will not help him after the next update
[21:32] <RenatoSilva> xevil: no, iirc that's a grub-managed file, I need to edit /etc/default/grub and change names of file in /etc/grub.d, then run update-grub which in will update that file
[21:32] <RenatoSilva> xevil: not sure where to change font and color yet, but, it's like that iirc
[21:33] <RenatoSilva> xevil: i.e. you don't edit that file manually
[21:33] <goddard> why do people still support Google when they don't support Net Neutrality?
[21:33] <guntbert> !ot | goddard
[21:34] <goddard> right guntbert thanks for keeping me on topic that is important
[21:35] <mario_> hey

[21:37] <devral> i just did a fsck, and it caused some file corruption in various places -- how can i correct this (e.g., automatically verifying and reinstalling broken packages)?
[21:37] <var9> no
[21:37] <var9> it's a pci wireless card in a laptop
[21:37] <qin> var9: just: lspci
[21:38] <var9> not there
[21:38] <Kayne> I have  read the how to install a program  page and its still not owrking .
[21:38] <Kayne> working that is
[21:38] <var9> the ethernet controller is listed as a bridge
[21:38] <var9> wierd
[21:39] <qin> var9: Then it is disconnected, check logs.
[21:39] <var9> and then the pci bidge is the same device
[21:39] <var9> qin: how can i connect it
[21:39] <var9> i have 2 cards
[21:39] <var9> both working
[21:40] <EFX> how do I mount /var on another physical disc? im running ubuntu server off a usb pendrive and would like to do loging to my RAID array instead of the pendrive to prevent unnecessary write-wear on the pendrive. could i do this with a symbolic link? how would I do that?
[21:40] <var9> qin: can i unistall my ethernet device and try
[21:40] <qin> var9: To be sure that it is not system, use liveCD
[21:40] <var9> i think there is some conflict
[21:41] <devral> is it possible to verify integrity of all packages, and fix/reinstall any that are broken?

[21:42] <soon> simply copied .evolution and .gconf/apps/evolution from my old home folder to my new one. Everything seems okay - except the 'On this computer' is empty! Any suggestions what I'm missing?
[21:43] <var9> qin: is that just the install disk?
[21:43] <RenatoSilva> guntbert: thanks for the link, I think I'm on the path to get there
[21:43] <guntbert> RenatoSilva: no problem :)   and    Good luck :-)
[21:43] <claviusmond> please recommend some emulators for sega games
[21:45] <Kayne> why is installing a program so damn hard in ubuntu?
[21:45] <devral> Kayne: it depends on what program; most are incredibly easy to install
 I have been trying ti install testdisk nothing works,
[21:46] <CyborgSmurf> I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and wonder why it wont connect to the wireless network?
[21:46] <scottyfubar> two issues (new 11.04 install from CD on hp/compaq nc6220): 1. i want to tell the sound card to disable the on-board speaker when i plug in a headphone. i don't see a headphone-jack-switch option in sound preferences, as other on-line help tells me to check. 2. dvd's do not play with movie player (totem). gnome-codec-install (no params, no man page, nothing from --help) dies with "parameters had an invalid format, please file a b
[21:46] <scottyfubar> ug." i believe i installed the "extras," but now I can't tell because of a third issue. 3. ubuntu software center hung on me, so i killed it, and now it will not run
[21:46] <guntbert> Kayne: how did you try to install it?
[21:47] <A_J> !znc
[21:47] <var9> qin, i just booted from the install cd
[21:48] <var9> same thing
[21:48] <wols> scottyfubar: check your .xsession-error   and of course you can always install using apt-get
[21:48] <Kayne> first I tried to install it using the instructions on the webpage,  then i tried doint the apti thing, NOTHING is working
[21:48] <CyborgSmurf> I know about the switch on the laptop but it just dosent search for any network at all...
[21:48] <devral> Kayne: have you tried 'sudo apt-get install testdisk'?
[21:49] <Kayne> but then again nothing I ty to install using Aptget works, and i followed the instructions on that page
[21:49] <guntbert> Kayne: what happens when you type :    sudo apt-get install testdisk   ?
[21:49] <Kayne> yes yes
[21:49] <Kayne> it says package not found.
[21:49] <akem> I wonder what a cyborg smurf looks like!
[21:49] <guntbert> !info testdisk | Kayne
[21:49] <scottyfubar> wols, x-session-errors lists a bunch of glib/gobject errors, null pointer, etc.
[21:49] <CyborgSmurf> akem: cool huh ;)
[21:49] <guntbert> Kayne: you must enable the "universe" repository
[21:50] <Spynxic> does "apt-get search" and "apt-cache search" perform the same thing?
[21:50] <Kayne> I tried that  it sasys  "Event not found
[21:50] <guntbert> !who | Kayne
[21:51] <Kayne> ubottu: okay
[21:51] <akem> CyborgSmurf, yea that's funny ;)
[21:51] <guntbert> Kayne: what did you try, and please avoid unreadable words :)
[21:51] <scottyfubar> wols, i'm going to reboot and come back.
[21:51] <scottyfubar> then i'll ask one question at a time :)
[21:51] <devral> is it possible to verify integrity of all packages, and fix/reinstall any that are broken?
[21:51] <CyborgSmurf> akem: thanks! btw could you help me out with a problem?
[21:52] <wols> devral: debsums
[21:53] <akem> CyborgSmurf, not sure
[21:53] <CyborgSmurf> akem: laptop not connecting to internet issues?
[21:54] <wols> CyborgSmurf: what wlan chip?
[21:54] <Kayne> gutuntbert:  I tried doenloading the zip file straight from the page. there is no executable file, so i went to the terminal, using the instructions on the software mfr's page. That didn't work  I have tried the apt-get install thing, still nothing, infact ubunto can't fina ANY pacage i search for trying to enable universe gets me a "event not found  error.
[21:54] <CyborgSmurf> wols: how do I find that out?
[21:54] <wols> CyborgSmurf: lspci -nn
[21:55] <akem> CyborgSmurf, network adaptator functionnality then try local net functionnality then internet
[21:55] <wols> Kayne: grep -r ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:55] <achton> can I gain access to the clipboard history in a vanilla Ubuntu 11 install?
[21:55] <guntbert> Kayne: you don't need to download the "file", just enable the "universe" repository and the you simply install testdisk
[21:56] <Kayne> guntbert:  how do i do that?
[21:56] <CyborgSmurf> wols: it gave me alot of info but since its on another computer (internet clearly works on this one), so what info is most essential?
[21:56] <guntbert> Kayne: GUI or CLI ?
[21:56] <Kayne> guntbert:  i have no idea
[21:57] <wols> CyborgSmurf: the network cards
[21:57] <wols> CyborgSmurf: and the numbers at the end: xxxx:xxxx
[21:57] <guntbert> Kayne: I was asking: are you using a terminal(text based) or the graphical user interface?
[21:58] <Kayne> guntbert:  Terminal  - text based
[21:58] <isadora> hi! anyone in the mood for helping me understand what the fuck is going wrong with my internet connection? :)
[21:58] <guntbert> Kayne: ok, what editor are you normally using?
[21:59] <eudaimon> hello
[21:59] <guntbert> !language | isadora
[21:59] <isadora> ok, sorry
[21:59] <isadora> :T
[21:59] <wols> guntbert: fyi, Kayne is using ubuntu for the first time ever today and the only reason he is using it is cause windows shredded his disk/data.
[21:59] <CyborgSmurf> wols: Ethernet [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)
[21:59] <wols> there is nothing "normal"
[22:00] <guntbert> wols: thx
[22:00] <Kayne> wols:  here is what you asked for http://paste.ubuntu.com/629558/
[22:00] <Kayne> guntbert:  the purple one in ubuntu?
[22:00] <NictraSavios> Alright, Well, Ive been using desktop linux for a while now, Running Arch Linux. But Now comes the big job. I have a network of 75 machines. All are using a windows server. I need instructions, or a bassic idea, on how I should go about making it a ubuntu server. Its 75 machines, Clustered to all feed off one monitor (Which constantly outputs the collective activity of the server).
[22:00] <wols> CyborgSmurf: iwconfig should show a ath0 and having wireless extensions
[22:01] <Kayne> BRB I have to go to the store.
[22:02] <guntbert> Kayne: I thought you said text based? there is nothing purple! - anyway I must leave -- Good luck :-)
[22:02] <cYmen> Is there any reason why my glxgears would display 4000 fps but _everything_ starts to stutter and hang when I run it?
[22:02] <eudaimon> I want to use an old camera as webcam and all it does is this: http://pastebin.com/19tcV5d3 . How to make it stay connected? Or is there some problem?
[22:03] <Kayne> guntbert:  The Text box when i open the terminal /smd  box  is purple!
[22:03] <Kayne> anyway i will brb
[22:03] <CyborgSmurf> wols: on both lo and eth0 it says no wireless extensions. But on wlan0 it says IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any - Mode: Managed - Access Point: Not-Associated - Tx-Power = 20 dBm etc...
[22:04] <scottyfubar> first question for anybody. how do i tell empathy to disable showing the constant stream of who enters and leaves the room? :)
[22:04] <scottyfubar> i just want to see the conversation
[22:04] <alex__> guys how can i put music on my ipod with ubuntu??
[22:04] <diytto> Is there another ubuntu version/port that i more friendly to low power computers? I.E. Laptop with 512MB ram and Intel centrino processor
[22:04] <hariykeyboard> should I exclude the .thumbnails folder while performing a tarball backup?  Are there any other hidden directories that are unnecessarily large to backup?
[22:05] <diytto> alex__: Use rhythmbox
[22:05] <wols> CyborgSmurf: ok, it's wlan0, my bad. sounds like everything is set up right
[22:05] <NictraSavios> anyone
[22:05] <NictraSavios> ?
[22:05] <alex__> diytto, rhythmbox doesnt have cover art
[22:05] <alex__> :/
[22:05] <var9> wols: do u have any other things?
[22:05] <CyborgSmurf> wols: okay so whats next then?
[22:05] <diytto> Oh
[22:05] <phaedra> diytto: try lubuntu
[22:06] <diytto> phaedra: What is it like?
[22:06] <wols> CyborgSmurf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs  the part about network manager. or troubleshooting
[22:06] <phaedra> diytto: stripped down ubuntu with lxde as the gui
[22:06] <PDG1> I've installed the server version of ubuntu and I'm looking for a simple console based RSS downloader for podcasts... anyone have some suggestions?
[22:06] <diytto> phaedra: Ah. Is it like Linux mint?
[22:07] <nobitanobi> Hi.  I just installed KinfoCenter but I can't see it in the Main Menu.  How do I do it to make it appear there?
[22:07] <CyborgSmurf> wols: thanks, just one more question. Is it hardware or software problem?
[22:07] <phaedra> diytto: no, it's ubu with lxde not like mint
[22:07] <wols> CyborgSmurf: software. atheros 5k cards are very well supported and your setup looks alright
[22:07] <phaedra> diytto: uses far less ram and cpu tho
[22:07] <diytto> phaedra: Okay cool thanks. I will look into it :)
[22:08] <Bfh> nobitanobo: click the maginifiying glass with + in center and type in the name of the program
[22:08] <CyborgSmurf> wols: wow, you are awesome ;) thanks
[22:08] <Bfh> itll be on the side panel
[22:08] <phaedra> diytto: np
[22:09] <Bfh> Anyone know how to edit the start location of terminal on start up? (the directory it starts in)
[22:09] <Guest57691> anybody know where there is a 'how to' for mgm?
[22:09] <Guest57691> moaning goat meter?
[22:09] <whiter> hello, i have ubuntu 10.10, and the last thing i did before this problem started happening was instal firefox.. anyawy, my keyboard/mouse don't work on boot
[22:10] <whiter> they work when i put it in recovery mode, but upon boot nothing.. anyone know what the problem might be?
[22:10] <Dulak> Bfh: edit ~/.bashrc and put a "cd /path/here" as the last line, .bashrc is executed everytime you run the terminal
[22:10] <Bfh> whiter i had that prob with 10.10 only fix i found was changing keyboards then shutting down ubuntu properly , and never turning off without the shutdown button.
[22:10] <frazras> @Bfh try putting a cd /wherever/u/want at the bottom of .basrc
[22:10] <frazras> .bashrc
[22:10] <Bfh> ty
[22:10] <whiter> Bfh, i don't have another keyboard this is my laptop..
[22:11] <diytto> phaedra: Will lubuntu have ubuntu one?
[22:12] <Bfh> whiter, i had this prob on desktop, but all i can suggest is plugging in a usb keyboard and the turning off pc correctly and starting up again, should work after that
[22:12] <eudaimon> I want to use an old camera as webcam and all it does is this: http://pastebin.com/19tcV5d3 . How to make it stay connected? Or is there some problem?
[22:12] <Nabiki> heh
[22:13] <phaedra> diytto: i'm not sure but might be able to install it. lubuntu uses lighter default progs than ubu giving it a smaller ram footprint. any default apps will prolly have to be installed
[22:13] <mongy> I am trying to access a site that uses java, I have sun java6 installed in natty, and this site is saying its out of date... ugh
[22:13] <diytto> phaedra: Okay awesome. I have my package list and stuff backed up to ubuntu one
[22:13] <diytto> :)
[22:14] <JOllymorphist> is active desktop in ubuntu possible
[22:14] <phaedra> diytto: i'd suggest going to the website to check the available apps but it shares the repos with the other official variants
[22:15] <ubucho> How do you add icons to your desktop with 11.04?
[22:16] <^Mike> What package should I install in my Virtualbox guest machine to get the guest additions?
[22:16] <phaedra> diytto: typically, you'd have to install a few libs from gnome but it'tt do that for you if you install it
[22:16] <ubucho> I have attempted to drag the icon onto the desktop but that doesn't work.
[22:16] <totesmuhgoats> mongy, not actually an ubuntu user, but ubuntu isn't rolling release, meaaning your packages now are the versions out when your version of ubuntu came out
[22:16] <Bfh> ubucho good question, ill try figure out that now
[22:16] <totesmuhgoats> mongy, so if you absolutely need a newer version you might need to consider a backport
[22:17] <ubucho> I also removed the Software Center from the side deal and I can't get it back over there.
[22:19] <qin> var9: You card do not work, thats rather hardware issue. Sorry has beed away for minute.
[22:19] <var9> i have 2 cards
[22:19] <var9> both doing same thing
[22:19] <qin> var9: What say ifconfig ?
[22:19] <twobitsprite> var9:  you have 2 wireless adapters in your laptop?
[22:20] <var9> bno
[22:20] <var9> just 2 diff cards
[22:20] <var9> so it's not a bad card
[22:20] <var9> rule that out
[22:20] <Bfh> ubucho. to add software center back on, where the panel is on the side go to the very top (ubuntu symbol, above the home dir folder) and type in software center, load the file and itll show up on the panel now, then right click and select keep
[22:20] <twobitsprite> are they pcmcia cards? or built in to the laptop?
[22:20] <var9> pci
[22:20] <var9> built in'
[22:20] <ubucho> Bfh, okay thanks.
[22:20] <twobitsprite> if it's built in, how are you swapping 2 different cards?
[22:21] <Spynxic> Are their any video tutorials that provide a good starting place for beginners to use the linux command line in depth (switching from windows and don't plan on going back)
[22:22] <var9> i can remove the cards
[22:22] <bojanski> hey, anyone got any experience with switchable ati graphics on laptops? ubuntu keeps using the low performance 4200 instead of 5470, so if anyone can help, i've googled for hours
[22:22] <var9> there's a panel on the bottom
[22:22] <var9> to unscrew and detach the attennas
[22:22] <qin> Spynxic: On youtube there is plenty, but you need to know what you want to know. Also you can ask here, or #bash or #linux
[22:23] <chrisf> bojanski: #radeon
[22:23] <Spynxic> Are their any video tutorials that provide a good starting place for beginners to use the linux command line in depth (switching from windows and don't plan on going back)
[22:23] <var9> im gonna reinstall
[22:23] <var9> fuck it
[22:23] <bojanski> chrisf: cheers
[22:23] <var9> thoughts?
[22:23] <FloodBot1> var9: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:23] <twobitsprite> var9: are you swapping the whole card or just the antenna? as in, your laptop has an actual pci slot? what kind of laptop is it?
[22:23] <var9> omg twobits
[22:23] <var9> its a mini pci broadcom 4311
[22:24] <var9> common wireless card found in most laptop computers
[22:24] <var9> i cant rly explain beyond that
[22:24] <chrisf> bojanski: the short answer though is 'man aticonfig' if you're using fglrx, or '/sys/kernel/debug/vga_switcheroo/switch' if you're using radeon
[22:24] <var9> sry
[22:24] <qin> var9: Did you open your lappy yet, means did you disconnect anything?
[22:24] <twobitsprite> var9: I was just curious...
[22:25] <var9> http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp267/super-store/4311.jpg
[22:25] <var9> that's it
[22:25] <bojanski> chrisf: i did actually look for aticonfig, tried several parameters, listing adapters only shows 4200
[22:25] <blz> var9:  have you tried lspci to ID it?
[22:25] <var9> it's just a panel on the back v easy to shutdown and swap it
[22:25] <bojanski> and i'm using the drivers from amd site
[22:25] <var9> lspci doesnt show it
[22:26] <blz> ah ok.  that's what I get for hopping in late =)
[22:26] <Spynxic> Are their any video tutorials that provide a good starting place for beginners to use the linux command line in depth (switching from windows and don't plan on going back)
[22:26] <whiter> after i installed firefox, then closed my laptop lid my keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working on boot into gui... they work when i put it in recovery mode, but regular booting nothing.. anyone know what the problem might be?
[22:26] <var9> no problem
[22:26] <var9> more ppl the better
[22:26] <var9> reinstall?
[22:26] <qin> Spynxic: Are you bot???
[22:26] <chrisf> bojanski: aticonfig --pxl only shows one card?
[22:26] <Spynxic> qin: no
[22:26] <bojanski> chrisf: aticonfig --list-adapters
[22:26] <rinkukokiri> abstrakt, you have any issues with netflix stalling out every 3-5 mins or so??  I move my mouse and it stosp
[22:26] <blz> Spynxic:  not really, beyond stuff like working with directories, files, etc...  anything else will be app-specific
[22:27] <blz> Spynxic:  anything in particular you want to know how to do?
[22:27] <letterbomb05> Hi I'm using gphpedit, however when I save files it creates a duplicate with ~ at the end (e.g file1.php file1.php~). How can I stop it doing this? It's annoying to have duplicates of everything.
[22:27] <Spynxic> qin: just failing at using xchat for the first time lol
[22:27] <chrisf> bojanski: --list-adapters doesnt do the PowerXpress stuff.
[22:27] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, i dunno, i usually switch to my dual boot if I want to watch netflix
[22:27] <qin> Spynxic: Nice
[22:27] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, meaning the windows half of my dual boot
[22:27] <chrisf> bojanski: also, fglrx support will be #ati, not #radeon sorry.
[22:27] <rinkukokiri> abstrakt, i understand dualbooting
[22:27] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, netflix is sometimes crap, some movies just don't work at all
[22:27] <rinkukokiri> yea
[22:27] <bojanski> chrisf: it says that the high performance card is active, but on the information tab it says 4200
[22:27] <bojanski> chrisf: thnx for the chan info
[22:28] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, i've got pretty good internet, it's def the fault of netflix as far as I can tell
[22:28] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, quite often the movies I want are crap, and then other movies i would never watch but I try anyway just as a test work fine
[22:28] <Spynxic> blz: I'm in the process of learning python and soon to start on other languages like php and perl, but right now i just need to learn my way around ubuntu
[22:28] <abstrakt> so it goes
[22:28] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, though depending on how old your machine is, you might just be pounding your machine too hard by using a virtualbox
[22:29] <qin> Spynxic: Just have PM you, so there is new window query.
[22:29] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, have you enabled the gfx card extensions in your virtualmachine?
[22:29] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, aka, hardware acceleration
[22:33] <rinkukokiri> it's almost like when it tries to go to screensaver it does it.. but i have the screensaver disabled
[22:33] <rinkukokiri> i do believe it to be a vm /windows issue so it's -ot though
[22:35] <ubucho> Will the WUBI installer that put ubuntu on a computer also take remove it?
[22:35] <ubucho> -take
[22:36] <blz> Spynxic, you realize that this is a very ill-defined goal.  There's literally no advice we can give other than "mess around with it"
[22:36] <blz> Spynxic:  do you know how to do basic file operations at the command line?
[22:37] <whiter> after i installed firefox, then closed my laptop lid my keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working on boot into gui... they work when i put it in recovery mode, but regular booting nothing.. anyone know what the problem might be?
[22:37] <Kayne> Okay, I'm back now  I'm ready to try again.
[22:37] <soziety> hi, who is the best soft for wifi?
[22:37] <ubucho> whiter, I am starting to wonder why Linux people trash talk windows all the time.  Ubuntu has its problems as well.
[22:38] <Bfh> whiter do u have dual boot windows / linux, if so let windows load and turn off pc and run again, should work.
[22:39] <Kayne> How do I enable universe so that i can finally install this  program, because i am at my wits end with this. The use of linux has not been too easy or user friendly so far, though i will admit  i am ignorant of this and it is adding to my frustration.
[22:39] <ralpho> I think you would have less problems if you have ran linux for 10 years than if you ran windows.
[22:39] <soziety> could you recommend me a good soft for configuration wifi plz?
[22:40] <ubucho> Bfh, Hey that worked, I had to restart linux...once it restarted, no problems.
[22:40] <Bfh> ubuncho ya switch over to 11.04 the bug seems to be fixed from what ive seen on this pc now... 10.10 was annoying with that bug.
[22:40] <Kayne> ralpho:  That may well be, but Even mac os is more user friendly in my opinion,  i mean why are there no exe files in linux? that would make things easier.
[22:41] <ubucho> Bfh, I'm on 11.04.
[22:41] <Matteo_> !list
[22:42] <ralpho> Someone showed you what a exe file was once.
[22:42] <ralpho> If you guys have a hard time starting out I know I did redhat 4
[22:42] <ralpho> I found a Linux user group that helped me alot. LUG
[22:42] <Dulak> Kayne: using the extension of a file to determine if it's executable is not the brightest idea MS brought to the masses.  Unix has a util called file, you can run 'file filename' and that will use the contents of the file to figure out if it's a binary executable.
[22:44] <ubucho> ralpho, My first linux os was Redhat 5.1.  But I hated it and have stuck with windows ever since.  I thought I would try ubuntu, and its not impressing me all that much.
[22:45] <frankS2> ubucho: go back to windows then, please
[22:45] <Bfh> lolz
[22:45] <ubucho> frankS2, Ok.
[22:45] <Dulak> Yes, run back to MS and enjoy 8 when it comes out!
[22:45] <ubucho> Dulak, I haven't got 7 yet.
[22:45] <ubucho> heh.
[22:45] <var9> how can ubuntu not impress
[22:46] <var9> it's pretty sweet
[22:47] <sebsebseb> ubucho: Try other distros, or use WIndows, if you don't like Ubuntu by the way
[22:47] <ubucho> var9, whats so sweet about it?
[22:47] <var9> it does everything i do in windows
[22:48] <var9> that's whut
[22:48] <lolmatic> hi
[22:48] <Dulak> It's free.
[22:48] <lolmatic> whats a good usenet reader for downloading binaries on linux?
[22:48] <ubucho> var9, ok..
[22:49]  * ubucho leaving for now.
[22:49] <Bfh> ubuncho: linux much nicer to program in then windows, but if your not into that, and more into gaming stick with windows
[22:49] <ubucho> Bfh, Yea I can't program anything.
[22:49] <ubucho> Maybe a clock on the dvd player..
[22:50] <var9> u wont like linux then
[22:50] <var9> it'll just frustrate u
[22:50] <Bfh> ya u wont
[22:50] <ubucho> I would like to learn programming though...what language should I start with?
[22:50] <var9> html is a good start
[22:50] <Bfh> simple 1. C programming maby some python
[22:51] <Goliath>  how can i enable compositing?
[22:51] <frankS2> start with ASM
[22:51] <var9> yea u can go straight to c
[22:51] <Bfh> best languages to start with
[22:51] <frankS2> then c
[22:51] <var9> but it wont be easy
[22:51] <Kayne> All I am saying is that I- personally have not found ths to be the most 'uer friendly' platform in the world. I am willing to freely admit that I am not as technically savvy as you all seem to be, but considering that oh i don't know 70 percent of the world uses windows,  I don't think I am alone.  I only tried this so that i could recover what  windows does not seem to be able to on its own. You don't have to make me feel  like an idio
[22:51] <frankS2> then perl/python/wat ever
[22:51] <ubucho> Okay thank you.
[22:51] <Dulak> python is probably the easiest starter language
[22:51] <Bfh> ya
[22:51] <var9> depends what you want to do
[22:51] <var9> rly
[22:52] <Bfh> id stay with C though, havnt found much use of python but never put time into it.
[22:52] <Dulak> if the goal is to learn programming, python will teach you the fastest.  Once you know one language and the concepts, you can learn any language rather quickly.
[22:53] <lolmatic> start with machine language
[22:53] <Bfh> ya well my first programming language was turing, ugly bugger it was.
[22:53] <var9> yea lol
[22:53] <celthunder> Dulak: any language learned fast isn't really learned...and they all follow for the most part the same concepts
[22:53] <var9> my first comp sci course was machine lang
[22:53] <var9> was pretty useless tbh
[22:54] <celthunder> Dulak: with that said using them all the same you're probably not taking advantage of the languages features
[22:54] <celthunder> var9: uhm assembly or writing<PHONE_NUMBER>10?
[22:54] <var9> just basic assembly....writing obv
[22:55] <RonWhoCares> A friend has asked me to make a change to his computer.  When the computer is turned on there is an operating system boot menu.  Ubuntu and then a heading "Other operating systems" with Windows XP as the option.  He would like Windows XP to be first.  Is there a way to move it?
[22:55] <meera> python is easy to learn?
[22:55] <celthunder> lol which assembly?
[22:55] <lolmatic> RonWhoCares: of course
[22:55] <celthunder> RonWhoCares: yes
[22:55] <Nabiki> lol
[22:55] <lolmatic> RonWhoCares: all you have to do is edit the grub config to set windows as default
[22:55] <RonWhoCares> I pressed E to edit it and I have the series of commands that load Windows XP    root (hd0 ,1) savedefault make active chainloader +1
[22:56] <Dulak> celthunder: you're arguing about more advanced concepts when I clearly aimed my comment at a complete noob to programming.
[22:56] <RonWhoCares> could you please take me through the steps to do this lolmatic
[22:56] <RonWhoCares> I am at the grub>
[22:56] <Goliath> HOW TO ENABLE COMPOSITING/
[22:56] <Goliath> ?
[22:56] <lolmatic> RonWhoCares: change the default 0 to default the number of the menu entry you want to boot by default (0 is the first entry)
[22:57] <kahen> so... all of a sudden firefox started crashing on me on certain webpages. 100% reproducible even
[22:57] <Kayne> Okay I think i installed the darn thing, but i STILL can't get it to run
[22:57] <celthunder> Dulak: noted :) i also just got here as you said that so was the first line i read :)
[22:57] <RonWhoCares> lolmatic how do I get to the config file
[22:57] <lolmatic> RonWhoCares: i dont know how your grub config looks, but maybe it is default 1 or default 2
[22:57] <tuskr> anyone around with a decent amount of mod_wsgi experience that can tell me how to get error reporting to the browser
[22:58] <Dulak> Ronald: you need to edit /etc/grub/default and set the default image, then run 'sudo update-grub'
[22:58] <Dulak> RonWhoCares: you need to edit /etc/grub/default and set the default image, then run 'sudo update-grub'
[22:59] <letterbomb05> Hi I'm using gphpedit, however when I save files it creates a duplicate with ~ at the end (e.g file1.php file1.php~). How can I stop it doing this? It's annoying to have duplicates of everything.
[22:59] <celthunder> Goliath: first turn off cap's lock.  second which window manager?
[22:59] <Dulak> RonWhoCares: when you boot count the entries in your menu,  starting at 0,  if windows is the last of 4 entries, you set the default to be 3, run 'sudo update-grub' and that'll fix it
[22:59] <tjiggi_fo> RonWhoCares, in ubuntu go to synaptic package manager and install "Startup Manager". when installed you'll find it in System > Admin. You can set which OS loads first from there rather easily
[22:59] <cipher__> Hello, is there any easy way to update the opengl libraries for development? (not the drivers)
[22:59] <meera> which language in unbuntu is similiar to java ire and eclipse helios?
[23:00] <cipher__> i didn't mean drivers :S
[23:00] <lolmatic> whats a good usenet reader for downloading binaries on linux?
[23:00] <celthunder> meera: java and eclipse both run fine in ubuntu
[23:00] <meera> ok
[23:00] <RonWhoCares> ok
[23:00] <meera> i just have it on xp
[23:00] <celthunder> meera: apt-get search java / eclipse
[23:00] <celthunder> er apt-cache search sorry
[23:01] <meera> ok search sorry
[23:01] <var9> i found an excellent beginners ressource
[23:01] <var9> specifically for python/programming
[23:01] <Pici> !java
[23:01] <var9> http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/
[23:01] <celthunder> var9: python's own site has a decent tutorial
[23:01] <var9> yea this is linked off there

[23:02] <Bfh> any reason my alias addition to the .bashrc isnt working ? ::             alias ..='cd ..'
[23:02] <RonWhoCares> thank you
[23:02] <jnlsnl_> dose find -name something search inside files as well =
[23:03] <celthunder> Bfh: is bash your shell?
[23:03] <din> jnlsnl_: no
[23:03] <Random832> Bfh: did you restart bash after adding the line to .bashrc?
[23:03] <Kayne> I am almost certain that the progrm ia finally installed but typing the command to run it still produces no result  what am i doing wrong now, anyone?
[23:03] <celthunder> Bfh: is your .bashrc being executed at all? did you source .bashrc?
[23:03] <Random832> or try typing "alias ..='cd ..'" directly into bash
[23:03] <din> jnlsnl_: use find . -name foo.bar -exec grep pattern {} \;
[23:04] <celthunder> Random832: he doens't have to relog in just source it
[23:04] <celthunder> or restart

[23:04] <Goliath> !find pypanel
[23:04] <Goliath> where is pypanel guys?
[23:05] <Kayne> oa and when i type lind or locate test disk, it says permission dey i have even tried adding sudo  in front of it and  i am not gettin anywhere
[23:05] <jnlsnl_> din say i wanted to search the folder /foo/bar for all files/inside files for the term "test", could you show me that code?
[23:05] <Goliath> where is pypanel?
[23:06] <guru1004> anyone know how to use perl to access the cia world factbook
[23:06] <celthunder> jnlsnl_: find /foo/bar |egrep test
[23:06] <jnlsnl_> ahh thank you! :-)
[23:06] <celthunder> probably can do it without egrep but i suck with find
[23:06] <din> jnlsnl_: find /foo/bar -exec grep test {} \;
[23:07] <din> celthunder: that will just grep for filenames
[23:07] <Random832> grep -R
[23:07] <din> not file contents
[23:07] <celthunder> din: egrep does file contents...admittedly never passed find contents to it
[23:07]  * celthunder tests
[23:07] <Random832> using find -exec grep won't print out the filename with the matches
[23:07] <Bfh> Anyone tell me how to stop pc from locking me out if idle for to long or changing it ?
[23:07] <Random832> celthunder: but it does file contents for _files_ passed on thec ommand line - it won't interpret stdin as a list of files to open
[23:08] <din> Random832: add -print to the find and it will
[23:08] <Random832> din: then you've got filenames mixed with matches, and it'll print filenames that don't contain matches
[23:08] <celthunder> Random832: aha
[23:08] <RonWhoCares> Which menu / sub menu contains package manager
[23:09] <Craig`> hey guys, i'm wanting to install ruby so i issued the command, http://pastie.org/2093242 and it complains about dependencies and broken packages, basically i install the necessarry dependencies (or at least try) and it complains about broken packages or other dependencies, could someone please help.
[23:09] <din> grep -r test /foo/bar is what i would do. that isn'.t what he asked me however.
[23:09] <Random832> what did he ask?
[23:09] <din> how to do it with find
[23:09] <lemmy> Hi, I've just started my machine and suddenly half of my compiz settings have stopped working (natty that is). Resetting ccsm settings or reboot doesn't fix it either. Any hints?
[23:09] <Random832> 17:59 <jnlsnl_> din say i wanted to search the folder /foo/bar for all files/inside files for the term "test", could you show me that code?
[23:10] <Random832> ooh
[23:10] <Random832> you can do grep -H to make it print the filename anyway
[23:10] <jnlsnl_> haha :)
[23:10] <Random832> so find /foo/bar -exec grep -H test {} +
[23:10] <lemmy> For some reason even compositing was set to off in gconf.
[23:10] <Random832> er, also need -type file in there somewhere
[23:10] <Random832> -type f
[23:11] <Random832> find /foo/bar -type f -exec grep -H test {} +
[23:11] <din> another way would be find /foo/bar -type f|xargs grep test
[23:11] <din> :)
[23:12] <celthunder> i really need to read the man page for find again lol
[23:12] <celthunder> way too useful
[23:13] <Random832> din: xargs fails on certain kinds of whitespace in filenames
[23:13] <Random832> also, you still need -H if you want the filenames rinted out with the matches
[23:13] <Random832> printed
[23:13] <din> i thought -print0 + xargs -0 would take care of that.

[23:16] <Random832> monitor drivers?
[23:16] <dancallo> Yes, not graphic adapter drivers.
[23:16] <Random832> monitors need drivers? o_O

[23:18] <dancallo> Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[23:19] <Bfh> dancallo did u install graphics card driver ?
[23:19] <dancallo> That was already installed when I installed Ubuntu 11.04
[23:19] <dancallo> I just connected up a new monitor

[23:20] <Bfh> mge to dancallo
[23:20] <thedude1> i am trying to install freeciv, i extracted the file in a directory and try to run "./configure" - it tells me "permission denied".
[23:20] <dancallo> tried that. No proprietary drivers detected.
[23:20] <usr13> dancallo: Did you restart the Xserver?
[23:21] <dancallo> How do I do that?
[23:21] <usr13> dancallo: Just log out and back in.
[23:21] <dancallo> Oh. Of course.
[23:21] <froq> Does anyone know of a simple media player that only does music and shows the fan art... that is all I want...
[23:22] <Bfh> froq try vlc
[23:22] <dancallo> Even turned off the monitor, unplugged the video cable, plugged it back in, and powered up the monitor. No go.
[23:22] <usr13> dancallo: open a terminal and do:  ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:22] <froq> Bfh, I would like it to show all my music CD's by fanart.  VLC doesn't do that however.
[23:22] <dancallo> Please...standby
[23:23] <gizmobay> When I lose network access, I no longer can access the sudo command as it just hangs and doesn't prompt for a password. Anyone know how to fix?
[23:23] <usr13> dancallo: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:23] <dancallo> Usr13: Cannot execute that command
[23:24] <froq> is it possible to install amarok on gnome?!  or do I have to use KDE?
[23:24] <usr13> dancallo: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:24] <dancallo> why do I want to run the "rm" command
[23:24] <usr13> dancallo: To remove the xorg.conf file.
[23:24] <dancallo> What will that do to my system?
[23:25] <usr13> dancallo: Will cause it to re-configure the display settings next time you reboot or log out and back in again.
[23:25] <dancallo> So, it will be rebuilt?
[23:25] <usr13> dancallo: no
[23:25] <Furai`> Bye. :)
[23:25] <thedude1> trying to compile but ./configure doesn't work- what can i do?
[23:25] <dancallo> Don't I need xorg.conf for other things?
[23:25] <mefisto__> dancallo: you could rename it instead, so you can restore it later
[23:26] <usr13> dancallo: It can be recreated if you need.  But at this point, we don't even know if the file exists in the first place.
[23:26] <dancallo> I'll give that a try. I would like to be able to restore it if necessary. So when I reboot what will happen.
[23:26] <usr13> dancallo: ... because for some reason, you could not execute the ls command.
[23:26] <dancallo> okay. thanks

[23:30] <usr13> danie772: unrar
[23:30] <kahen> but WHY did that solve my problem?!
[23:31] <xcf_> Which one beats which? KDE or Gnome?
[23:31] <rinkukokiri> sure ain't unity
[23:31] <rinkukokiri> har har har
[23:31] <GordonFreeman> are you able to switch the window manager under unity?
[23:31] <usr13> xcf_: It's a tie.
[23:31] <kahen> very scary bug if cache inconcistency can cause firefox 4 to crash. it doesn't bode well for the general code quality :\
[23:31] <RonWhoCares> was any of these responses to me?
[23:31] <james_13> can someone help me with the "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed" error at boot?

[23:32] <topher> im trying to help someone compile my game on ubuntu 10.10 but the libsdl-mixer1.2 and libsdl-mixer1.2-dev packages don't contain the .pc file. anybody know why this is?
[23:32] <html-inprogress> whats grub 21?
[23:33] <rinkukokiri> !grub2
[23:33] <html-inprogress> hi everone
[23:33] <james_13> can someone help me with the "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed" error at boot?
[23:33] <usr13> devral: Depends on what commands you want to execute.  You could just put them in /etc/rc.local and system wide commands will be executed after everything else.
[23:34] <Nabiki> james_13,   do you have a notebook pc?
[23:34] <GordonFreeman> any software developers in here? how has unity worked for your needs?
[23:34] <Nabiki> and what falvor of ubuntu do you have?
[23:34] <rinkukokiri> heh heh heh @ unity "working"
[23:35] <devral> usr13: to be specific, i'm trying to make x11vnc start at boot so i can run it headless; would /etc/rc.local be the best in such a scenario?
[23:35] <Nabiki> lol    NOT unity   KDE
[23:35] <GordonFreeman> rinkukokiri: is it that bad?
[23:35] <Nabiki> or xfce
[23:35] <html-inprogress> ubuntu wouldnot start after saying sorthing like gurb erorr 21 something
[23:35] <rinkukokiri> GordonFreeman,   i is not a dev...
[23:35] <rinkukokiri> GordonFreeman, but i ditched unity on first reboot
[23:36] <james_13> can someone help me with the "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed" error at boot?
[23:36] <usr13> devral: x11vnc needs to be run as a user
[23:36] <kahen> james_13: i *think* dpkg can nuke just g-p-m and its configuration files and then reinstall it. but that's really black magic and usually not recommended
[23:36] <usr13> devral: And it can not be started at boot, but only after booting is finished and the Xserver is up and running.
[23:36] <GordonFreeman> rinkukokiri: haha fair enough
[23:36] <IdleOne> GordonFreeman: this channel is more for support but you might want to join #ubuntu-dev and see if anybody there is active
[23:37] <html-inprogress> ubuntu wouldnot start after saying sorthing like gurb erorr 21 something,,,   and thats after i try to install google os  based of of opensus
[23:37] <GordonFreeman> is there a gnome3 version of ubuntu?
[23:37] <Dulak> devral: you can use su from rc.local to run your x11vnc command as whatever user you need it to be
[23:38] <RonWhoCares> Everyone this is the problem I am having right now:  I am trying to upgrade from Ubuntu version 9 to 10.4   The error message I am getting is "An upgrade from "jaunty" to "lucid" is not supported   What do I do next?
[23:38] <tjiggi_fo> RonWhoCares, it will be much easier for you to download and install, rather than upgrading four or five times
[23:39] <xcf_> Usually if you turn your computer upside down it actually relieves some of the cache which allows better upgrades.
[23:39] <Nabiki> lol
[23:39] <devral> Dulak: how do i do that?
[23:39] <james_13> can someone help me with the "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed" error at boot?
[23:39] <Nabiki> yeah   RonWhoCares : you have to upgrade to 10.04 first
[23:39] <Nabiki> thno no
[23:39] <RonWhoCares> tjiggi_fo: Will downloading and then installing erase their e-mail settings?
[23:39] <Nabiki> 9.06 first
[23:39] <Nabiki> then to 10.04
[23:39] <tjiggi_fo> RonWhoCares, and I recommend you install 10.04 rather than 11.04
[23:40] <xcf_> james_13: revert to msdos, you know you want to.
[23:40] <RonWhoCares> Nabiki: I am receiving this error message when trying to upgrade to 10.04
[23:40] <james_13> xcf_ i just need to figure out how to fix it
[23:40] <Nabiki> RonWhoCares,  go to your 'upgrade manager' and just do the next recommended upgrade
[23:40] <xcf_> okay, i guess trolling irc's arent for me... back to tinychat.
[23:40] <Nabiki> after a few upgrades, you will ahve it
[23:40] <Dulak> devral: it would look something like this: su -c 'x11vnc --arguments-here' usernamehere
[23:41] <Dudda> What is the latest version of ubuntu?
[23:42] <Dulak> devral: the -c 'commandhere' passes the command to the shell as the user you specify, so put whatever command it takes to start x11vnc in there
[23:42] <usr13> Dulak: 11.04
[23:42] <rinkukokiri> dudda beta latest or release latest?
[23:43] <devral> Dulak: Ah ok, thanks. so next question is, how would i supply password?
[23:44] <harushimo> I need to get python 3 on my ubuntu system. I would be able to do that
[23:44] <RonWhoCares> Nabiki: I have already been this route, it didn't work.  What happens is when I load Update Manager I first get an error that my distribution is no longer supported.  Then I choose to install updates (in preparation to upgrade to edition 10.04) I agree with the changes and I receive an error message.  I put them into a pastebin @ http://www.pastebin.com/6xgQECbp
[23:44] <harushimo> I know we have python 2.6.5
[23:45] <Dulak> devral: you can tell x11vnc to store a password in a file and read from that file when it starts up.  It's a hash so it's not plaintext in the file
[23:45] <Dudda> I used ubuntu 8.02, fedora 9, fedora 13 and now i use windows 7. But i still love unix like o.s.
[23:45] <Dulak> devral: http://home.brooksaar.com/linux/x11vnc.html
[23:45] <RonWhoCares> Nabiki: There were 250 updates, they all failed
[23:45] <rinkukokiri> i need to mount this but sudo fdisk -l won't see it... NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x73 (Toshiba xD 16MiB 3,3V)
[23:46] <devral> Dulak: i mean for su -- doesn't su need the user's password to run x11vnc as that user?
[23:46] <Dulak> devral: rc.local is executed as root, so su won't need a password to run
[23:47] <devral> Dulak: ahh, gotcha - thanks
[23:47] <Dulak> devral: su only prompts for a password for non-root users
[23:47] <Josesordo> rg
[23:47] <rinkukokiri> someone help me mount NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x73 (Toshiba xD 16MiB 3,3V)?
[23:47] <Dudda> What you think about Debian Linux?

[23:48] <Dulak> Dudda: it makes a good server, they break unstable a bit too much for my tastes for a workstation so I use debian stable for my servers, ubuntu for workstations
[23:48] <rinkukokiri> Dudda, less bloat..
[23:49] <chrisf> hi #ubuntu, is there a package that provides `python2`? for portability across a bunch of other distros [some of which link `python` to a python3], this script uses #!/usr/bin/env python2 -- except this doesnt exist by default on ubuntu :(
[23:50] <Dulak> chrisf: 2 choices, symlink /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python,  or change the script(s) to use python and not python2
[23:51] <chrisf> Dulak: yes, i know i can do it by hand :)
[23:51] <Dulak> chrisf: if you have a lot of these scripts, the symlink is the easiest solution: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2
[23:51] <Boothk> Anyone here up to the task of helping me mess with a veeery old laptop?
[23:51] <rinkukokiri> someone help me mount NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x73 (Toshiba xD 16MiB 3,3V)?
[23:51] <Skaag> how do I know which package provides /usr/local/imap-libs ?
[23:52] <[an]droidman> Boothk: how exactly are you going to mess with it?
[23:52] <harushimo> !pastebin
[23:52] <[an]droidman> harushimo: who was that to
[23:53] <Dulak> Skaag: dpkg -S /usr/local/imap-libs
[23:53] <Boothk> [an]droidman: I've got a HP pavilion ze5170. 30gb, ~1GHz processor and 192mb of RAM. Right now, it's got Ubuntu 6 on it
[23:53] <harushimo> anyone
[23:53] <Boothk> [an]droidman: Main problem is, doesn't suppose booting from usb and I only have disks for ubuntu 5 and 6
[23:54] <Skaag> Dulak:  thanks
[23:54] <[an]droidman> Boothk: go into your bios settings
[23:54] <Dulak> Skaag: np
[23:54] <Boothk> [an]droidman: Tried that. It really doesn't support usb
[23:54] <Skaag> it doesn't find it
[23:54] <[an]droidman> Boothk: they you need a disk
[23:54] <[an]droidman> then*
[23:55] <Dulak> Skaag: it's not from a package then.  /usr/local isn't a normal destination for packages, it looks like a source install location to me
[23:55] <Boothk> [an]droidman: No way of being able to update it to the latest version from the OS?
[23:55] <harushimo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/629599/
[23:56] <[an]droidman> not that i know of Boothk
[23:57] <Boothk> [an]droidman:  Damn. Ok, might be able to get around it. I wanted to update in the hopes that it would support this wireless PCMCIA card from Belkin
[23:58] <rinkukokiri> Can someone help me mounting this xD card?? NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x73 (Toshiba xD 16MiB 3,3V)
[23:58] <soothsayer> How do I regenerate xorg.conf? dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server doesn't seem to prompt me for anythin
[23:58] <soothsayer> anything*
[23:58] <leftist> i'm curious that when i look at the filesystem in system monitor it shows free 8.1gib but only available 2.6gib. where are the other gig or how are they allocated?
[23:58] <Boothk> [an]droidman: F5D7010 32-bit cardbus. I have the .sys file for it but no .inf
[23:58] <GWild> I'm running 10.04 LTS and have NVidia
[23:59] <GWild> I rebooted and my resolution is stuck at 640x480
[23:59] <[an]droidman> Boothk: cant help you there...
[23:59] <GWild> any idears?
[23:59] <Boothk> [an]droidman: thanks anyways
[23:59] <cjaredrun> sounds like your resolution is lower than you would like it to be  GWild :P


[00:52] <G> Sounds like Google exercising their strength to push out the new-logo apps out
[01:39] <hads> Yeah, evil. Unfortunately that's a tablet that doesn't have a Cyanogenmod build. So it's the only Android device in the house that is on a stock ROM
[02:06] <G> hads: I find Calendar'ing on Android to be lackluster anyway, still can't believe that there is no way to natively use caldav
[02:30] <hads> Indeed. Davdroid works well.
