[12:46] <paolob> Hi guys! since maverick I cannot change the wallpaper any more. Whatever image I select in the background properties, the wallpaper doesn't change. Any hint? thank you!
[12:47] <benpowers23> incarus, ben
[12:47] <Incarus> benpower23, so type "ps -u root" and look for "dpkg" or something smiliar and kill that process with "sudo kill NUMBER"
[12:47] <tphive> izinucs: a handy function, that 'theoretically' works. lol Nothing successful here yet though.
[12:47] <sirlark> histo: I've got a server; tftpf, nfs-server, dnsmasq all running. My client machine boots off PXE, loads the initramfs, but can't mount the NFS root because it can't find eth0.
[12:48] <sirlark> I've added the appropriate network card modules to the modules list for the initramfs
[12:48] <hvipen> Hello!! Here's a problem. Ubunto10.10 - wlan0+eth0+eth1. wlan0 connected to internet. eth0 connected to a Cisco router. eth1 bridge to vmware workstation. Problem=
[12:48] <hvipen> firewall
[12:48] <histo> sirlark: no idea on that one perhaps someone else can help
[12:48] <hvipen> if installed is blocking eth0+eth1
[12:49] <dl551> Is there any way to dim the display further? Even at display brightness set at 0 it's still bright
[12:49] <tphive> Incarus: I actually don't even see the 'one button' screen. Just the one with 7 or so options, just none of them are what I want. :P Found a DVD download though, looks like it might just be extra languages though, can't tell.
[12:50] <tphive> the full DVD download of Ubuntu, what does that include that the smaller CD sized versions don't? IT is just languages?
[12:50] <Incarus> tphive, did you try F1, F2, ... ?
[12:50] <jrib> tphive: includes the main repository iirc
[12:50] <hvipen> cab iptables be configured with multible lan interfaces?
[12:50] <tphive> Incarus Every single Fkey.:P
[12:50] <nickname-new> ubuntu is just awesome
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> iptables is so configurable.. its scary...
[12:51] <tphive> jrib: any idea if it has functional OEM features that the others for some reason don't?
[12:51] <36DAARLV5> so, the new adobe flash plugin that came today (<IP_ADDRESS>-1) crashes in fullscreen in FireFox (3.6.12)on hardy (8.04.4 lts). any ideas ? or should i just try to install an older flash until they decide to actually test it ?
[12:51] <hvipen> iknow - tried firestarter and guarddog - doesn't meet my needs
[12:51] <jrib> tphive: I don't know.  You tried the alternate cd?
[12:51] <ozfalcon> I just created a user on a server. But I cant ssh into the server as the new user! Any Ideas?
[12:52] <jrib> ozfalcon: using passwords?
[12:52] <Incarus> tphive, you should choose "Innstall Ubuntu" and then "OEM-Installation"
[12:52] <tphive> jrib: I did, :( No luck there either. Tried UNE, Desktop, and Alt so far.
[12:52] <hvipen> so no real hacker here?
[12:52] <ozfalcon> yes
[12:52] <hvipen> s
[12:53] <jrib> !iptables > hvipen
[12:53] <histo> tphive: language packs is the difference
[12:53] <Kaco> hvipen, what do you need?
[12:53] <noob-tux> hvipen: why are u looking for hackers? go join #defcon or #backtrack-linux :P
[12:53] <hvipen> imean hacke not hackert
[12:54] <benpowers23> incarus, i used sudo kill 9284  which was dpkg, but no confirmation and it didnt start in the software canter
[12:54] <tphive> Incarus: On which version? Am trying it on alt right now.
[12:54] <jrib> !away > nouitfvf|aw
[12:54] <nouitfvf|aw> sorry
[12:55] <hvipen> is it a channel for pure network hacking?
[12:55] <ozfalcon> jrib, yes using passwords
[12:55] <jpt1105> i need some help with my internal mic in acer aspire one 532h
[12:55] <Incarus> benpowers23, pls paste "ps -u root"
[12:55] <bazhang> hvipen, here? no
[12:55] <jrib> ozfalcon: can you ssh localhost successfully?
[12:56] <sirlark> okay, failing that that anyone point me to an up to date (i.e. works on lucid) guide for diskless boot on ubuntu
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> setting up iptables rules is network hacking?
[12:56] <hvipen> yes
[12:56] <sirlark> s/that that/that, can/
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> I dont think so.
[12:56] <ozfalcon> jrib, I can ssh with the original install account.  Any known problems or fixes?
[13:00] <karthick87> Thunderbird Error: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system."
[13:00] <FlyOnZeWall> hvipen, so if you do "ip route", it shows correct information?
[13:01] <tphive> When installing 10.04 from USB pendrive, does it remove the options at the bottom like F6 for more options and whatnot? Or is it like that on the CD too?

[13:02] <yoshie> flyonzewall: when installing 10.10 , first day it came out it did not support nvidia gt 240 as in im guessing didnt have the prop driver yet
[13:02] <Aijse> karthick87, in terminal:  ps -aux|grep thunderbird  that sudo kill "insert proces number"
[13:02] <xukun> is there somebody here who can help me the first steps of setting my 2x1tb disks for raid1 and lvm?
[13:02] <Incarus> yoshie, whats the problem?
[13:03] <anygivenname> what does the findtime on fail2ban refers to?
[13:03] <yoshie> incarus: prob is i cant finish ubuntu install because it didnt support my video card, so im wondering if they have updated since the first day it was released 10.10
[13:03] <karthick87> Aijse: Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html

[13:03] <FlyOnZeWall> xukun, I take it you've read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/RAID1%2BLVM
[13:04] <hvipen> behind cisco 3 networks
[13:04] <tphive> Thanks for the help guys, haven't quite solved the issue yet, but I'll come back to it later.
[13:04] <FlyOnZeWall> yoshie, should be fine, I'm using a brand new nvidia card and I've had no trouble at all
[13:04] <Incarus> tphive, http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/oem-config
[13:04] <mrnelson1986> yoshie, i have a nvidia GT 330M and it takes some finagling but by using the "nomodeset" option you can get a GUI to show and finish your install until you can install the proprietary nvidia drivers...nouveau does not work on the 200-300M series I think
[13:04] <Aijse> karthick87, sorry suposed to be karthick87
[13:04] <yoshie> Flyonzewall: ok but is that the gt 240 ?
[13:05] <Aijse> karthick87, ps aux|grep thunderbird
[13:05] <Incarus> yoshie, installation in low graphic mode should work, because it doens't use the nvidia driver / (nouveau?)
[13:05] <Incarus> doesn't..
[13:05] <benpowers23> incarus,  i killed em all but dpkg refuses to die
[13:06] <yoshie> Incarus: ok so whats the command for low graphics?
[13:06] <karthick87> which is the process no here "karthick  3221  0.0  0.0   3320   800 pts/0    S+   06:36   0:00 grep --color=auto thunderbird
[13:06] <mrnelson1986> yoshie, nomodeset added to the boot line of the live cd will let you set up and install, also adding nomodeset to the boot line of the actual installation will let you get to a gui
[13:06] <karthick87> "
[13:06] <Incarus> benpowers23, pls paste again (new paste ;) )
[13:06] <mrnelson1986> nomodeset is the command (added to the quiet splash line of the boot line) yoshie
[13:06] <Incarus> yoshie, I think you can choose that when booting the cd
[13:07] <mrnelson1986> yoshie, also you may be able to do it by hitting F6 and choosing nomodeset
[13:07] <FlyOnZeWall> is there some channel regarding tablet pc issues and ubuntu?
[13:07] <Aijse> karthick87, Is that the only line that comes up?
[13:07] <yoshie> ok thanks guys appreciate it.
[13:07] <benpowers23> incarus,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/526297/
[13:08] <tphive> Incarus: An interesting find, would this still work though    sudo oem-config-prepare           so the config account is deleted
[13:08] <karthick87> Aijse: Yes
[13:08] <Incarus> tphive, I never tried it
[13:09] <hvipen> so nobody here master in firewalls?
[13:09] <iceroot> hvipen: #iptables
[13:09] <hvipen> iknow but im stuck
[13:09] <Aijse> karthick87, Than there are no processes running that belong to thunderbird. THe one you found now was the proces of the grep command I told you to use. I dont know howcome it acts like there is a window open in this case
[13:09] <tphive> Incarus mkay, best lead so far, thanks
[13:09] <Incarus> benpowers23, "sudo killall -s TERM dpkg" and "sudo killall -s KILL dpkg", should work.
[13:10] <hvipen> it works for 2 interfaces but not 3
[13:10] <karthick87> Aijse: Restarting the system also din solve the problem
[13:11] <brad> what's the recommended (most supported) virtual machine for ubuntu 10.10?
[13:11] <stark> всем привет
[13:12] <wakkarto> niew pa rosky
[13:12] <Incarus> !en | stark
[13:12] <ZykoticK9> brad, personally I'd recommend VirtualBox - but VMware or KVM work too.
[13:12] <Incarus> brad, I would recommend VirtualBox too.
[13:12] <brad> virtualbox it is then, thanks guys :-)
[13:13] <Aijse> karthick87, Ask again, include the fact you found no proces of thunderbird running and restarting didnt fix it. I dont understand whas wrong
[13:13] <brad> I presume it works find on headless servers too?
[13:13] <brad> fine*
[13:13] <jose1105> i need some help with my internal mic in acer aspire one 532H
[13:14] <Incarus> !ask | jose1105
[13:14] <ZykoticK9> brad, if you want it for a server install, then perhaps VMware or KVM might be better actually....  good luck man (VirtualBox doesn't have an "easy" way to start VMs on boot, and I believe that VMware or KVM does)
[13:15] <brad> ahh, thanks ZykoticK9
[13:15] <kephu> hi
[13:15] <rooks> brad, theres normal headless vm support of vm
[13:16] <rooks> brad, in virtualbox
[13:16] <ozfalcon> I have created a new user on a headless server. But can't login as new user. Auth.log says PAM: user unknown.... how do I fix this?
[13:16] <rooks> brad, i forgot its name, but its there, vboxremote or sth like that
[13:16] <histo> ozfalcon: did you give the newuser a passwd and assign them any groups?
[13:16] <kephu> can anyone tell me how do I keep grub from pausing to mince my cdrom every time I boot? I mean, it's not like it does anything with it, there's no menu.lst items that tell it to "hey do something with the cdrom drive okay awesome"
[13:17] <brad> rooks: thanks, will look at both
[13:17] <ZykoticK9> ozfalcon, you can verify the user exists or doesn't by using "cat /etc/password | grep YOURNEWUSERNAME" - and yes, using "sudo passwd NEWUSERNAME" will set a password.
[13:17] <ozfalcon> histo, yes to both. sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash -U -p password sentinal
[13:17] <rooks> brad, the commoand for virtualbox headless is: vboxheadless, it comes along normal virtualbox-ose package, tho im sure its in virtualbox-puel
[13:17] <histo> kephu: grub shouldn't be looking at the cdrom your bios mostlikely is
[13:18] <ozfalcon> ZykoticK9, User exists in /etc/passwd
[13:18] <roberto_> brasil
[13:18] <ZykoticK9> ozfalcon, using adduser instead of useradd is a lot easier BTW
[13:18] <histo> ozfalcon: seconds adduser
[13:18] <roberto_> ajuda aqui
[13:18] <kephu> histo, it happens when grub kicks in, not sooner. And the moment I pop the CD open, grub goes from "okay grub is loading" to "here's your menu kind sir make your selection now yes"
[13:18] <ozfalcon> trying.....
[13:19] <Incarus> !br | roberto_
[13:19] <roberto_> preciso de ajuda
[13:19] <mexx> hi
[13:19] <roberto_> saindo aqui
[13:19] <histo> kephu: are you using grub2?
[13:20] <Incarus> roberto_ it is an english channel
[13:20] <kephu> histo, I assume so. I'm using whatever the default in 10.10 is
[13:20] <mexx> i'm trying to install x11 on a 10.04 server and it hangs while Unpacking libxfixes3
[13:21] <ozfalcon> ok. Using "adduser" worked and enabled ssh via that (new) user. Thanks.
[13:21] <histo> kephu: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[13:22] <jamesstanley> How do you change the text colour of the Gnome clock? In the guest session it is fine, but on my account if I use the Ambiance theme the clock is black-on-black and the theme can't really be used
[13:22] <Sembiance> My computer was not powered off correctly (power loss). Now when booting I'm just starting at the Ubuntu logo. Is there a Key Combination I can press to view a console log of what it is doing right now?
[13:22] <Sembiance> I'd like to see the boot process. My guess is it's doing a disk check or something
[13:22] <histo> Sembiance: you can hold the shift key to get a grub menu
[13:22] <jamesstanley> Sembiance: i would try f2, ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2 in that order
[13:22] <kephu> histo, I could, but it's completely unmodified
[13:23] <histo> Sembiance: then you should be able to boot to recovery mode
[13:23] <Incarus> Sembiane, are you using kde?
[13:23] <mexx> Sembiance: or boot in recovery mode
[13:23] <histo> kephu: well it should have your menu entries in it.
[13:23] <kephu> histo, also, this is not exclusive to ubuntu, this happens every time I get my linux on
[13:23] <histo> kephu: make sure there is nothing related to cdrom.  I would double check your bios boot sequence
[13:24] <Sembiance> Incarus: no, not using KDE, but not at that point yet.
[13:24] <Sembiance> Still at the ubuntu menu with 5 red dots that are not changing heh
[13:24] <kephu> histo, searching for "cd" in grub.cfg yields nothing
[13:24] <Sembiance> jamesstanley: tried those, none of them worked
[13:24] <mohanohi> No sound, using ubuntu 9.10 64bit, removed pulse audio and installed esd, please help
[13:24] <tgywa> Hi
[13:24] <Sembiance> histo: I'll give it a few more minutes then try rebooting and using the grub menu, thank you
[13:24] <mohanohi> no sound app in system>preference
[13:24] <histo> kephu: no anything that isn't a uuid for a boot option etc..
[13:24] <jamesstanley> mohanohi: is the volume turned up? that was my problem, it came with it defaulted to 9% volume
[13:25] <histo> Sembiance: yeah or you can try hitting ctrl+alt+f1 through F6
[13:25] <gnomefreak> kephu: you maybe want to try #linux if we can not help you here, but if it is not just Ubuntu that would be a better place IMHO
[13:25] <mohanohi> jamesstanley: yes it is, i checked it through alsomixer
[13:25] <kephu> also, it's not that it tries to BOOT from CD-rom. What happens is this: grub outputs its plain "grub is loading", THEN minces the cd, then, after it's done with that, it loads the menu
[13:25] <mohanohi> jamesstanley: i mean alsamixer
[13:25] <tgywa> where can I download Ubuntu emergency boot disk ? for Ubuntu 10.04 + 64 bit server?
[13:25] <gnomefreak> scratch my comment above this sounds like harware issue
[13:26] <gnomefreak> tgywa: from ubuntu.com
[13:27] <mohanohi> please help me............
[13:27] <gnomefreak> to rescue a borked installl or bug you use the normal image
[13:28] <ZykoticK9> mohanohi, did you have sound prior to removing Pulse?  If so, why did you remove Pulse?
[13:30] <ghisen|home> Anyone good at the route command? I would like the traffic to IP x.x.x.x to go on eth0 instead of tap0(vpn)
[13:30] <histo> tgywa: just use the install cd
[13:30] <jamesstanley> ghisen|home: i think: route add x.x.x.x dev eth0
[13:30] <ghisen|home> jamesstanley, thanks
[13:30] <kephu> okay, here's something ubuntu-related: I have a broadcom 4328 wireless card, and it offers to install restricted drivers for it. Problem is, all of them are blacklisted.
[13:32] <dli> kephu, is it by the b43 driver?
[13:32] <mich> hi there annyboday an idea, im trying to upgrade from server 10.04 to 10.10 like it is told on ubuntu.com but 10.4 system told me nothing to ubdate  using cmd do-release-upgrade and set config to normal bevore
[13:32] <ghisen|home> jamesstanley, didn't work :/
[13:33] <jamesstanley> ghisen|home: in that case i can't help
[13:33] <kephu> dli, probably. jockey.log lists a couple, but yeah, b43 was one of them
[13:33] <ghisen|home> jamesstanley, maybe i need to define the GW aswell? not its * on that route
[13:33] <mohanohi> ZykoticK9: no :(
[13:34] <histo> mich: sudo do-release-upgrade
[13:34] <mich> i did it as root
[13:34] <jamesstanley> ghisen|home: i got it wrong, i meant "ip route add x.x.x.x dev eth0"
[13:34] <dli> kephu, or you can try the broadcom binary driver
[13:34] <mich> Checking for a new ubuntu release
[13:34] <mich> No new release found
[13:34] <ghisen|home> jamesstanley, oh ok i try that.. thanks
[13:34] <mich> was printed
[13:34] <jamesstanley> ghisen|home: i don't know how to do it with the route program, but i believe the ip program is now the preferred method anyway
[13:34] <DJones> mich: You might find that because its 10.04 which is a LTS version, its only looking for a new LTS version, have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade and the Ubuntu servers section for instructions on how to upgrade
[13:35] <kephu> I forget, dli, how do I un-blacklist b43 then?
[13:35] <mohanohi> ZykoticK9: i am unable to find sound app in preference too. what to do?
[13:35] <ghisen|home> jamesstanley, it says: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
[13:35] <administrator> hello
[13:35] <mich> id did all the steps mentioned on the website
[13:35] <jamesstanley> ghisen|home: "ip route del x.x.x.x", and then run the ip route add i gave above
[13:35] <dli> kephu, b43 is part of kernel, you need the firmware-b43-installer package
[13:36] <ghisen|home> ah ok

[13:40] <lackvoid> Hi, I screwed up the my HDD partition table by carelessly rewriting mbr in testdisk. Now my ntfs 500gb partition is gone. How do i recover all the data?
[13:40] <vega-> mohanohi: "sound app" ?
[13:40] <nijan> Hello, i have installed ubuntu latest but can't connect to the internet because firefox (only the ubuntu version) idles on loading this authentication page. can anybody help? https://auth3.unipi.it/auth/perfigo_weblogin.jsp?cm=ws32vklm&uri=https://auth3.unipi.it/
[13:41] <mohanohi> vega- sound app in preference has vanished..
[13:41] <idefine> how do I select the nouveau drivers in ubuntu 10.10? I currently have the nvidia binary drivers installed
[13:41] <mohanohi> dli: ok, did that, nothing happened.
[13:41] <nijan> is there any problem with https?
[13:41] <rigved> lackvoid: i think there's some software called partition magic
[13:41] <dli> lackvoid, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[13:41] <lackvoid> rigved, windows? or ubunut?
[13:41] <xukun> quiescens, like this: lvcreate --name LV --extents 100% VG
[13:42] <dli> mohanohi, aplay /dev/urandom
[13:42] <rigved> lackvoid: windows
[13:42] <lackvoid> dli, I tried searching for lost paritions in testdisk, didnt get anything
[13:42] <kephu> dli, see, this doesn't work. Because THE DRIVERS ARE BLACKLISTED.
[13:42] <pirroh> hi, got a strange issue with 10.10 and the theming engine -- basically the window decorator works but the theme does not
[13:42] <mohanohi> dli: Playing raw data '/dev/urandom' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
[13:42] <mohanohi> Invalid rate plugin version 10002
[13:42] <pirroh> somebody saw this bug in launchpad?
[13:42] <mohanohi> dli: no sound :(
[13:42] <quiescens> xukun: 100%VG without a space, or 100%FREE
[13:42] <lackvoid> rigved, let me try partition magic.. any other solution?
[13:43] <PhantomString> lackvoid: You have options, you can go the forensics route and manually rewrite the MBR in hex or you could just use a bootable CD with Partition Table Doctor or something equivalent
[13:43] <Incarus> nijan, .lsp stands for javaserver pages, sure that java is installed?
[13:43] <Incarus> *jsp
[13:43] <quiescens> xukun: oh wait, VG is a different argument isn't it
[13:43] <kephu> dli, the step that says "Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the STA drivers can be activated for use. " doesn't work - it won't let me activate the driver
[13:43] <nijan> Incarus, nk
[13:43] <lackvoid> PhantomString, I am new to this.. Can you point me to any tools or links for this?
[13:44] <nijan> Incarus, not at all, it is a vanilla installation
[13:44] <hosedsystem> can someone please tell me what to do? Upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 left my system completely bricked.
[13:44] <jcrawford> ugh really no Gnome in Ubuntu 11
[13:44] <PhantomString> lackvoid: start here: http://www.ptdd.com/mbr.htm
[13:44] <jcrawford> why not leave it as an option and just make Unity the default?
[13:44] <rigved> lackvoid: http://www.ntfs.com/partition-recovery-concepts.htm
[13:44] <jcrawford> Gnome is widely used
[13:44] <quiescens> xukun: sorry, VG was your volume group name, altogether something like: "lvcreate --name LV --extents 100%FREE VG"
[13:45] <nijan> Incarus, isn't it a server based app?
[13:45] <dli> mohanohi, pulseaudio --start;pavucontrol
[13:45] <lyj_> Hi
[13:45] <nijan> It even worked with a vanilla lenny, which i don't think comes with java pre-installed
[13:45] <mohanohi> dli: i uninstalled pulseaudio
[13:45] <lyj_> how to increase HISTSIZE in ubuntu?
[13:46] <lyj_> which file should I modify?
[13:46] <lackvoid> PhantomString, rigved : thanks.. i will try ptdd
[13:46] <hosedsystem> I triedto upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, when I came back it stopped with a message box that said one of the .py scripts could not find/locate encoding latin1, from then on, nothing worked.  Booting stops, even in recovery mode.
[13:46] <dli> kephu, check the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[13:46] <dli> mohanohi, reinstall pulseaudio pavucontrol
[13:46] <mohanohi> dli: ok
[13:47] <hosedsystem> :-(
[13:47] <lyj_> how to increase HISTSIZE in ubuntu?
[13:47] <lyj_> Is there anyone can help me?
[13:47] <rooks> lyj_, for terminal?
[13:47] <mohanohi> dli: should i restart the system after installed pulseaudio?
[13:47] <xukun> quiescens, thaks a lot that worked perfectly
[13:47] <rooks> lyj_, linecount backlog in terminal?
[13:47] <rigved> lackvoid: urw
[13:48] <hosedsystem> so, ok.  basically no one in here knows what to do.
[13:48] <mohanohi> dli: i mean after installing pulseaudio?
[13:48] <Incarus> nijan, not sure about that. that page doesnt work for me. sure that it is not caused by the page itself?
[13:48] <PhantomString> lyj: change your /etc/profile to have export HISTSIZE=whatever
[13:48] <quiescens> xukun: its just that you were asking for 1863.02G and it probably had 1863.019G or something
[13:48] <PhantomString> hosedsystem: One sec
[13:48] <dli> mohanohi, no need, just do "pulseaudio --start;pavucontrol"
[13:48] <lyj_> where is the default value 500 set?
[13:48] <PhantomString> hosedsystem: What exactly happened?
[13:48] <miguel000> how do I get this mail symbol in my traybar? because I use another window manager and it does not start up automtically.
[13:48] <xukun> quiescens, I see
[13:49] <mohanohi> dli: ok
[13:49] <PhantomString> lyj: default is 1000
[13:49] <hosedsystem> PhantomString: I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, when I came back it stopped with a message box that said one of the .py scripts could not find/locate encoding latin1, from then on, nothing worked.  Booting stops, even in recovery mode.
[13:49] <lyj_> Er... So where is it set?
[13:49] <lyj_> which file sets the default value?
[13:50] <hosedsystem> PhantomString: I guess that's expected behaviour when installation fails right somewhere in the middle
[13:50] <mohanohi> dli: ok i opened pavucontrol, the sound was muted..... thank you very much.. now its working!!!!
[13:51] <lyj_>  which file sets the default value?
[13:51] <hosedsystem> PhantomString: but it did fail for no apparent reason, the 10.04 was a pretty vanilla installation, I followed the upgrade path directly.
[13:51] <PhantomString> lyj: you can create a .bash_profile in your home directory and then just put in that file "export HISTSIZE=20000" or whatever number and then type source .bash_profile
[13:51] <lyj_> I just want to know where is the default value set...
[13:51] <xukun> quiescens, can you help me some more to install this ubuntu on this raid1 lvm? I can get it if you don't have time, no worries
[13:51] <lyj_> Can anyone tell me?
[13:52] <PhantomString> hosedsystem: Well, you are not alone with many boxes getting a little messed up.  Question is... do you need to recover anything?
[13:52] <orbit> Hello, i have Ubuntu 10.0.4 and every time i reboot my computer the visual effects are gone, someone know a way to fix this?
[13:53] <36DAARLV5> does anyone know how to change the lowest frequency of powernowd ? its set for 10000000 but i want it even lower.
[13:53] <PhantomString> lyj: type find / -exec grep "HISTSIZE" {} \;
[13:53] <Incarus> orbit, have you got an intel graphic card?
[13:53] <kv102t> Anyone kn ow how easy it is to put a normal PC into a virtualBox ?
[13:53] <lyj_> Ah... That's a great deal of search
[13:53] <hosedsystem> PhantomString: It's a RAID 0 with all my embedded work on it
[13:53] <dli> 36DAARLV5, cpufreq-info
[13:53] <PhantomString> lyj: Well, I could just give you the answer or teach you to fish
[13:53] <hosedsystem> hosedsystem: it's "hosed life" when I cannot recover that thing
[13:53] <rusivi> kv102t: Installing VMs in VirtualBox is very easy.
[13:54] <orbit> Incarus, i got a Nvidia 9600
[13:54] <36DAARLV5> dli: ty
[13:54] <kv102t> I mean move a PC from real to virtual
[13:54] <darth_tux71> ok i got a question how do I change an icon theme?
[13:54] <lyj_> It's not a good idea to search. In other distro, the place is obvious.
[13:55] <Diytto> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/maverick/release which installer should i get
[13:55] <rigved> orbit: even i have nvidia 9600 gt. mine works fine
[13:55] <rusivi> kv102t: What is the cloning software your using?
[13:55] <PhantomString> lyj: You are not in another distro.  You are in ubuntu.  They have their own way of doing things.  Using FIND will allow you to discover this.
[13:55] <hosedsystem> PhantomString: I don't have a clue about what goes on under the hood in ubuntu.  What could I do/try?
[13:56] <PhantomString> hosedsystem: Well, I would definitely boot into single user, if possible, and get the network up and try a apt-get install --fix-broken
[13:56] <kv102t> rusivi: i have a few at my finger tips
[13:56] <kv102t> norton ghost, clonezilla etc..
[13:56] <rusivi> hosedsystem: Your best bet is if you need to recover information, pop in a Live CD and copy/paste to external media, then do fresh reinstall.
[13:57] <darth_tux71> nm got it
[13:57] <hosedsystem> PhantomString: how to boot into single user? at least grub2 seems to work still
[13:58] <rusivi> kv102t: Regarding Ghost, you have Universal Imaging Utility?
[13:58] <Sembiance> histo: I booted up into recovery mode, went to a command prompt, did  'touch /forcefsck'   rebooted. It checked all my disks. Now things work just fine. Thanks for your help:)
[13:58] <Diytto> Which installer should i get from here? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/maverick/release desktop cd ot alternative?
[13:58] <hosedsystem> rusivi: I don't have the raid 0 stuff in my head.  that will take me ages to figure out how to mount the raid 0 from the live system, I guess
[13:59] <rusivi> hosedsystem: Did you make a full, RAID 0 system backup prior to upgrading?
[13:59] <nijan> Hell, can anybody open this page using firefox installed on 10.04 ? https://auth3.unipi.it/auth/perfigo_weblogin.jsp?cm=ws32vklm&uri=https://auth3.unipi.it/
[13:59] <kv102t> rusuvu: i think so. I have MiniPE CD
[13:59] <hosedsystem> rusivi: of course not.  I waited for 10.10 to be officially released to upgrade.
[13:59] <MrsB> Diytto: if its a normal desktop setup you want, go with the desktop one
[14:00] <hosedsystem> rusivi: a little naive
[14:00] <rusivi> hosedsystem: A little? :D
[14:00] <Diytto> MrsB: Thanks!
[14:00] <Diytto> Finally an answer :0
[14:00] <rusivi> hosedsystem: Full backups before upgrading are always the way to go, irrelevant to what OS your upgrading from/to.
[14:00] <Diytto> :p*
[14:00] <MrsB> Diytto: those are 4 bit and others tho
[14:00] <Diytto> I have a ppc
[14:01] <MrsB> Diytto: 64 bit rather not 4 bit
[14:01] <Diytto> :}
[14:01] <Diytto> yea lol
[14:01] <hosedsystem> ruvisi: It never happend to my in *BSD so I thought...ahh.well... yes.  hugely naive ;)
[14:01] <rusivi> hosedsystem: Then you were lucky.
[14:01] <hal> I am trying to compile searchmonkey for my system, available from http://searchmonkey.embeddediq.com/index.php .  However, I have no idea how to compile it. Could someone offer me some advice.  See this screenshot  http://yfrog.com/73screenshot093p to see the files extracted
[14:01] <PhantomString> hosedsystem: Edit your kernel line to say rw init=/bin/bash and boot that to see if it will work
[14:01] <Jovaro> I just updated my server from 9.10 to 10.04 and not it tries to autostart X on startup. Which fails and the computer crashes. How can I prevent X from starting?
[14:02] <root> hi
[14:02] <hosedsystem> PhantomString: So I drop to the grub2 command line using 'c', and then I type "rw init=/bin/bash" and then "boot"?
[14:02] <Guest3173> okay
[14:03] <Guest3173> whats new
[14:03] <felix_-_> Can someone please tell me how to get libstdc++ _5_ on my ubuntu 9.10? i cant find compatibility packages

[14:03] <felix_-_> i have a binary only package which links agains version 5
[14:03] <dekroning> is it possible to play a video file as a screensaver?
[14:03] <B-r00t> danielbw: yes
[14:03] <Jovaro> also, I changed splash in grub to no-splash but I still get the splash screen. Does anybody know why?
[14:03] <PhantomString> hosedsystem: when you get to the grub menu, hit E to edit the kernel that you are running, then find the kernel line and hit 'e' again and at the end, add that line, hit esc and hit 'b'

[14:09] <CaptainAwsome> guys, s'up? good? whats X11? what can i use it for?
[14:09] <PhantomString> hosedsystem: Well, you can try fsck  first
[14:10] <PhantomString> hosedsystem: after that, get your network up and running (wired) and then try to fix broken packages with apt-get
[14:11] <Chell> CaptainAwsome, If you have to ask, you probably never need to know;) It's the thing that does your display (in a nutshell)
[14:11] <Alinn> Hi
[14:11] <linuxguy101> is that true about the freenode log in?
[14:11] <MrsB> CaptainAwsome: You can use X11 Forwarding to remotely run applications over ssh which display on your own desktop - look up X11 Forwarding

[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: what desktop?
[14:24] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: gnome
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: are there seperators there? It's hardly infuriating either
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> mkotwd: i'd ask in #pascal  or #delphi
[14:25] <noname_>  Hi guys i just installed empathy  inside ubuntu  , but i could not connect to my hotmail account with msn protocol ...;any help plz
[14:25] <mkotwd> ActionParsnip: ok
[14:25] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: no separators. its just empty space between that applet and the clock
[14:25] <Euthanatos> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=46356 this is exactly what i get so does anyone have any idea how to use exportCC to indicate the kernel compiler?
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> http://www.taoyue.com/tutorials/pascal/contents.html
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: if you right click in the gap and select remove, does it vanish?
[14:26] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: if i right click in the gap it offers 'add to panel' there is no remove option - there's nothing there.
[14:26] <Alinn> PhantomString: rusivi: in Wikipedia is 60% . i didn't find in idc.com. is it correct?

[14:27] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip: reboot required?
[14:27] <chadi> I installed cntlm, and it auto starts on boot, then i installed bum and unchecked cntlm, it stills attempts to load.  Is it likely to be linux or is my printer broken?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: the only time you need a reboot is to load a new kernel
[14:28] <IdleOne> !language | Somelauw
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Somelauw: keep the language PG
[14:29] <Somelauw> When printing my colors are messed up. Is it likely to be linux or is my printer broken?
[14:29] <Somelauw> Better?
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> chadi:  bum handles SysV type init processses. but not the newer upstart ones perhaps.. (bum is rather old) - If its ran by upstart. there will be an init scrpt for cntlm in /etc/init/ you could rename to disable it.
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> Somelauw:  ive had drivers mess up the colors.
[14:29] <Goldline> Greppy ur here

[14:30] <Somelauw> Yes, it was autoconfigured. Printing black/white works fine, but colors are printed very ugly.
[14:30] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: no
[14:30] <chadi> Dr_Willis, there's no cntlm entry in /etc/init/

[14:30] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: ahhhh thats not an ubuntu issue.
[14:30] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: no?
[14:30] <ZanQdo> its the bios?

[14:31] <Dr_Willis> chadi:  check the old sysv dirs then perhaps. Ive no idea what cntlm even is.
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: power off the system, take the power cable out of the back and let it site for half an hour
[14:31] <Alinn> PhantomString: rusivi: Thanks a lot :)

[14:32] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: the errors on the system are stopping it booting, you can test the ISO whilst the errors clear
[14:32] <spiekey> Hello!
[14:32] <xrdodrx> !offtopic
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> camer0n_: you can use sendmail in cli
[14:32] <chadi> Dr_Willis, thank you; I will try installing sysv-rc-conf
[14:33] <spiekey> is there a intrepid repo archive somewhere?
[14:33] <erUSUL> camer0n_: a nullmailer like ssmptp or esmtp ?
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> spiekey: very unlikely, intrepid is dead and gone
[14:33] <leafwiz> Hey, latest update of ubuntu broke my wifi :( on my dell m1330. Anyone have a fix?
[14:33] <erUSUL> !intrepid
[14:33] <camer0n_> ActionParsnip, does this need to be setup? i tried using it last night and it didn't work
[14:33] <erUSUL> !eol > spiekey
[14:33] <camer0n_> erUSUL, i wouldn't have any idea what either of those mean... i just want to be able to send an email :S
[14:33] <erUSUL> spiekey: old-releases.ubuntu.com iirc
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> camer0n_: not sure, i'm only aware of it. It will need access to a mail server
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> chadi:  the sysv scripts these days for the most part are Upstart scripts/links to them.    Most services/tools are converting to Upstart methods, so its worth learning.
[14:34] <Sorensen> hello ppl. I got some problem with grub. Anyone want to helt me?
[14:34] <Sorensen> help*
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> Sorensen:  state the issue to the channel..
[14:34] <chadi> Dr_Willis, where are they exactly?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> leafwiz: run: sudo lshw -C network    you can search for guides based on the product line
[14:34] <hal> ok forget searchmonkey - can anyone recommend a good GUI for find/grep?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> hal: why do you need a gui, find and grep are easy to use
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> chadi:  upstart  uses /etc/init   Sysv - uses the /etc/rc* type dirs.
[14:35] <hal> ActionParsnip: because I prefer to point and click rather than type a long-winded command
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> search the package manager tool? see if it has any allready there?
[14:35] <erUSUL> hal: find is in Aplications>Accesories>Search
[14:35] <Jovaro> how can I stop ubuntu from autostarting X on startup?
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> Jovaro:  disable the GDM service in /etc/init/
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> hal: you will need to type the search strings so its not point and click even with a gui, you could write a script then write a python gui. much quicker and far easier to just use terminal
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> Jovaro:  or use the kernel 'text' option at boot time.
[14:36] <chadi> Dr_Willis, and I assume that the numbers represent the priority, right?
[14:36] <hal> for example, find ./ -type f -exec grep -Hi 'this phrase' \{\} \;   do you know a better way ActionParsnip ?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> hal: what are you searching for, the command isn't long at all
[14:36] <camer0n_> erUSUL, can you use something like gmail/hotmail/etc with sSMTP? just having a read of it at the moment
[14:36] <erUSUL> Jovaro: add text to boot options in /etc/default/grub ? run « sudo update-grub »
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> chadi:  for sysv? its the order they are ran in yes.
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> !sysv
[14:36] <erUSUL> camer0n_: i know gmail works; the others should work too
[14:37] <hal> erUSUL: the native search does not search all files
[14:37] <chadi> Dr_Willis, thank you very much :-)\
[14:37] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: it doesnt match but I remember md5sum had problems with 32 bit vs 64 bit testing?
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> hal: if you use it a lot, you can put the command in a script and replace the search and grep strings with $1 and $2
[14:37] <erUSUL> camer0n_: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/ <<<<
[14:37] <Jovaro> I don't have gdm
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: no, if the md4 doesn't match, the image is bad
[14:38] <Jovaro> so I try the text alternative, thanks!
[14:38] <ZanQdo> ok
[14:38] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, any idea if I can install Unity without UNBR?
[14:38] <erUSUL> Jovaro: kdm xdm or whatever you use
[14:38] <Jovaro> none of those, maybe that is why it crashes
[14:38] <hal> event then you have to move up and down directories, and escape non alpha characters, which is also slower than a gui
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> replicasex:  you can install the netbook-destop package.
[14:38] <Jovaro> I just use fluxbox
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: sure, just install it and the deps will be used. te default WM is mutter which is a little slower than compiz
[14:38] <hal> ActionParsnip: ^^^ *even then...
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> Jovaro: fluxbox rocks
[14:38] <camer0n_> erUSUL, thanks, ssmtp seems like it will be good to use... just hope it doesn't use too much ram....
[14:39] <delinquentme> whats the line command to go with sudo that just gives you temp superuser options ... is it " sudo -i"?
[14:39] <replicasex> Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip yeah I just had a bad experience installing kubuntu dekstop environ and having it be horribly messy to remove -- how easy would it be to remove Unity/UNBR?
[14:39] <Jovaro> ActionParsnip, I don't know about that, but it works great for my mythtv-box
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> hal: true, is it something you use a lot?
[14:39] <erUSUL> delinquentme: yes
[14:39] <hal> yes, a lot ActionParsnip
[14:39] <erUSUL> !rootshell > delinquentme
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: if you emove unity and mutter, it should then mark the rest for removal afaik
[14:40] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, I'm assuming the install isn't as extensive as a KDE install as it doesn't have to pull in so many libs and so on.
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> replicasex:  thats an issue of how the meta-packages work..  the netbook stuff added a new meni entry to gnome for the Netbook interfaec.. is all i saw it do.
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> hal: wow, hmm, let me search: http://sourceforge.net/projects/grepgui/
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> replicasex:  not near as cluttered as if you would have kubuntu and ubuntu both installed.
[14:40] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: awesome, using a download manager this time
[14:40] <delinquentme> erUSUL, and how do i escape from that mode?
[14:41] <ZanQdo> thank you man
[14:41] <replicasex> Dr_Willis, good cuz that was a bloody nightmare :p
[14:41] <erUSUL> delinquentme: run "exit"
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: using torrents adds extra checking and can help, MD5 still needs doing
[14:41] <Sorensen> Anyone knows why i get alot of errors when i install ubuntu (not from windows) on sdd? When i restart it just says "no such device: f313d1d-a60e-8c1e-53208ebc9656" Grub rescuse >
[14:41] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: oks
[14:41] <delinquentme> thanks!
[14:41] <erUSUL> delinquentme: or do "crtl +D" ( the same thing you will do to exit any other shell )
[14:41] <makkura> I recently installed Ubuntu server edition 10.10 and set up shorewall last night.  Now I find that I can no longer _edit_ files. I can create and remove them but cannot edit them even when using sudo, varrying directories.  I've never heard of such a thing so wondering what thoughts people might have on it.
[14:42] <erUSUL> makkura: what errors do you get? when you try to edit?
[14:42] <noname_> guys i just installed empathy but it's doesn't work with my hotmail account , any help plz
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> hal: http://www.magmax.org/drupal/node/88
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> noname_:  have you checked the forums yet? it could be Hotmail broke the feature with some recent changes.
[14:42] <cherva> can someone help me with a FakeRAID partition on a 3 x 1 TB hards I booted the 10.04 server cd, added the 3 hard drives in a fake raid, partitioned it, installed ubuntu all is ok BUT when I power down the PC and remove one hard ( as if it is broken ) I get to grub rescue not to a working ubuntu ... is grub waiting for me to plug an empty hard drive or what ?
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> makkura: could make a note of ownership too then make root the owner, or your user etc
[14:43] <Sorensen> Anyone knows why i get alot of errors when i install ubuntu (not from windows) on sdd? When i restart it just says "no such device: f313d1d-a60e-8c1e-53208ebc9656" Grub rescuse >
[14:43] <makkura> erUSUL: Editing via nano it lets me edit and it looks fine. When I exit and save it asks what name to save it as and then drops back into the editor. If there is an error, I dont' see it (but I am vnced into a system that then connects to the server via ssh so it may not stay on screen long enough).
[14:43] <x-Nihil> Oh. So that's how they go in.
[14:43] <x-Nihil> Hello.
[14:43] <noname_> yes there are many ppl have the same prblems , but some of them fixed the problem ..but i used the guid and no result
[14:44] <makkura> I tried editing the file with ruby and it echos the file after it is done and it looks correct. Cating the file after that and it is unchanged.
[14:44] <sjm> cherva, did you use linux software raid rather than the motherboard "fakeraid"?
yes there are many ppl have the same prblems , but some of them fixed the problem ..but i used the guid and no result
[14:44] <erUSUL> makkura: the error should appear in the nano modeline
[14:44] <x-Nihil> Can anyone tell me some pointers on what keyboard shortcuts to assign? I don't want any conflicting shortcuts in play.
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> sjm: may have used good hardware raid too
[14:45] <cherva> sjm, yes that one from the "manual partitioning" in the setup
[14:45] <makkura> ActionParsnip: ownship of the file to be edited is root and i'm editing using sudo nano ..  Editing a file without sudo in my /home has the same effect with me as the owner.
[14:45] <Jovaro> erUSUL, just adding text at bootup didn't make a difference... I used nosplash instead of splash but I still get the splash screen after a while and it switched to tty7 instead of sticking to tty1...
[14:45] <erUSUL> makkura: or you can try to add a comment line to a file « echo "#this is a comment" >> /etc/whateverfile »
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut > x-Nihil
[14:45] <makkura> I'll double check nano and try that as well.
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> makkura: is the partition healthy?
[14:45] <sjm> cherva, did you put grub on each drive?
[14:46] <sjm> cherva, raid 1, 5, 10?
[14:46] <Sorensen> Anyone knows why i get alot of errors when i install ubuntu (not from windows) on my 4th hdd? When i boot from the disc, just says "no such device: f313d1d-a60e-8c1e-53208ebc9656" Grub rescuse >
[14:46] <makkura> I installed just two days ago and saw no signs of problems before that.  I haven't checked specifically, however. What's the best way to go about checking?
[14:46] <cherva> i saw "grub-install /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc"  during  the setup so I guess YES, raid 5
[14:46] <hal> ActionParsnip: thank you. I've just found regexxer that looks pretty good, and includes replace also
[14:46] <Sorensen> sorry if you feel that im spamming, but i really dont know how to solve this :(
[14:46] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, what would you say the preferred way of getting Unity/UNBR?  The software center?
[14:47] <x-Nihil> Oh, I do know how to set shortcuts, but so far when I set them up other programs also use them as shortcuts, and problems occur.
[14:47] <erUSUL> !fakeraid
[14:47] <replicasex> I don't really want the unbr itself, just Unity -- is that possible?
[14:48] <sjm> erUSUL, why is software raid called "fakeraid" here.  There is a difference.
[14:48] <sjm> cherva, not sure here.  I haven
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: any package manager is fine
[14:48] <sjm> cherva, not sure here.  I haven't worked much with raid 5.
[14:48] <sachael> hi, I'm looking for a gnome program that automatically records time spent on a project by tracking the active window
[14:49] <erUSUL> sjm: no here fakeraid is bios raid ;P
[14:49] <camer0n_> erUSUL, ssmtp works great! thanks
[14:49] <erUSUL> camer0n_: no problem
[14:49] <camer0n_> erUSUL, just have to work it into a script now :P
[14:49] <roni> hi everybody .. i need a little help with iptables ..
[14:49] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, ok, I'll install the ubuntu-netbook package and see how it goes.  I'd rather just get unity itself but that seems impossible
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> sachael:  theres that zeigiest thing that can sort of do that.. but i think it does more then just that. :) I never use it myself. but it seems neat
[14:50] <sjm> Sorensen, can't find the specific drive UUID to boot from.  Look for information on UUID.
[14:50] <erUSUL> sjm: but if you want to tweak the wording of the factoid you can propose a change
[14:50] <roni> i got 3 ip in a server ... <IP_ADDRESS> , <IP_ADDRESS> , <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:50] <Sorensen> sjm.  Im very new in linux
[14:50] <roni> i need to block all the access to ip <IP_ADDRESS> , and allow the access just for the ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:50] <gondoi> is there a guide somewhere on creating seed files for automated install?
[14:51] <sachael> Dr_Willis, thanks for the pointer, will look into it.
[14:51] <sjm> erUSUL, that's my definition, but the links you pointed ubottu to, seemed to equate the two (at least the titles)
[14:51] <roni> is there a way to do that ?
[14:51] <erUSUL> sjm: yes i see that For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto can lead to ambiguity. as i said you can propose a better wording
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> !iptables | roni
[14:52] <x-Nihil> Can anyone help?
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> sachael:  gnome activity journal seems to be the gui to it.
[14:52] <sjm> roni.  yes, with iptables firewall you can only allow that ip
[14:52] <makkura> erUSUL: editing a file via echo >> file  worked on my own files and presents me permission denied even with sudo on the root own file i intended to edit
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> sachael:  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nautiluszeitgeist-video.html
[14:52] <Chaos2358> xangua you in here?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> makkura: sudo doesn't traverse the redicrection
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> makkura:  when using >> with sudo. you need to use the 'tee' command and a few other tricks.
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> MAAAAD: echo "Text I want to write" | sudo tee /path/to/file
[14:53] <Chaos2358> xangua that link you gave me last night for gyachi isnt updated for maverick yet
[14:53] <Madwill> anybody know the implication of using something like an LPGL licensed framework into an application
[14:53] <erUSUL> makkura: with sudo you need « echo "something" | tee -a /etc/something »
[14:53] <Dr_Willis>  echo "foo" | sudo tee /root/somefile
[14:53] <makkura> erUSUL: nano leaves the text up to save the file rather than show and error.. it stays until i resize the window to for a refresh (damn putty :P)
[14:53] <erUSUL> Madwill: LGPL allows linking to closed source software
[14:53] <petan> x-Nihil: just ask
[14:54] <Madwill> Thanks
[14:54] <makkura> ahh my bad on usage then, just a moment
[14:54] <x-Nihil> I want to know what keyboard shortcuts I can set up without setting conflicting shortcuts with other programs.
[14:55] <petan> x-Nihil: you can display current shortcuts in your keyboard settings
[14:55] <sjm> erUSUL, I'd suggest "for motherboard raid" or "for bios ("hardware") raid" rather than "for software raid"
[14:55] <camer0n_> how do you declare a string variable in bash? i have been using "x=10" for numbers... but can you use<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[14:56] <petan> x-Nihil: also do not use ctrl+alt+del ctrl+alt+fX ctrl+alt+backspace
[14:56] <greppy> camer0n_: email='something'
[14:56] <NoiseEee> hiya, what's the deal with "W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/multiverse/source/Sources.gz  404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]" during apt-get?
[14:56] <makkura> erUSUL: it appends the comment the same as it did on my own files
[14:56] <erUSUL> camer0n_<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[14:56] <NoiseEee> what happend to interpid-updates?
[14:56] <x-Nihil> Ah. Thanks. Is Alt-fX fine?
[14:56] <erUSUL> makkura: then there is no problem that i can see
[14:56] <camer0n_> erUSUL, tried that... it's kinda screwing up :P
[14:56] <camer0n_> greppy, will try the single quotes
[14:57] <camer0n_> .... once i can exit the script
[14:57] <erUSUL> camer0n_: how is failing? give example
[14:57] <petan> x-Nihil: I do not recommend that as long it is chortcut for switching between tty's but should be disabled in X server mode
[14:57] <camer0n_> erUSUL, script is stuck :S
[14:57] <BluesKaj> howdy
[14:57] <petan> x-Nihil: so it probably would work
[14:57] <erUSUL> BluesKaj: hi
[14:57] <camer0n_> erUSUL, not responding. ctrl+c not killing
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> !intrepid
[14:57] <NoiseEee> !upgrade
[14:58] <luis_hasbon> Hello users
[14:58] <BluesKaj> hi erUSUL
[14:58] <x-Nihil> Ah. Thanks.
[14:58] <greppy> camer0n_: double quotes " ", will try to expand variables.
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> NoiseEee: intrepid is dead
[14:58] <luis_hasbon> Im glad to join this channel once again
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> 'retired' :)
[14:58] <camer0n_> erUSUL, i was trying to do the command: "ssmtp $email < msg.txt"
[14:58] <NoiseEee> ActionParsnip: odd, i didnt think my install was that old :\  how to tell what version of ubuntu im running
[14:58] <x-Nihil> Also, does anyone have any sort of link to a tutorial on the usage of OpenOffice Formula?
[14:58] <makkura> erUSUL: double checking the ruby snippet i tried using.. may just be a problem over the chained connections vnc->putty then
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> !version
[14:58] <camer0n_> greppy, what do you mean by "expand variables"?
[14:58] <luis_hasbon> I was wondering if any of you has have problems or issues with sound in ubuntu maverick?
[14:59] <greppy> camer0n_: if var="testing" and you have var2="${var} again" var2 would be 'testing again'
[14:59] <camer0n_> can't kill script :S
[14:59] <BluesKaj> luis_hasbon, did you just upgrade?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> NoiseEee: lsb_release -a
[14:59] <Somelauw> OpenOffice formula is just clicking on the buttons to create a formula
[14:59] <camer0n_> greppy, ah cool :D
[14:59] <luis_hasbon> I made a fresh cd install
[15:00] <erUSUL> camer0n_: ssmtp -s "nothing here" "$email" < msg.txt
[15:00] <camer0n_> greppy, how do you kill a script that won't stop with CTRL+C?
[15:00] <erUSUL> camer0n_: should work
 I made a fresh cd install
[15:00] <x-Nihil> Someone67: Oh, so it doesn't calculate anything on its own accord?
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> camer0n_:  some scropt  You made? or what exactly?
[15:00] <sjm> ActionParsnip, what does "No LSB modules are available" from that command mean?
[15:00] <Chell> camer0n_, kill from terminal
[15:00] <camer0n_> erUSUL, awesome. will do that...
[15:00] <NoiseEee> thanks Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> sjm:  means you forgot the -a
[15:00] <luis_hasbon> BluesKaj: I made a fresh cd install, do i ned to upgrade? I already mde an update
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> sjm: the rest will tell you the release
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> !lsb
[15:01]  * Dr_Willis has no idea what lsb modules are...
[15:01] <camer0n_> Dr_Willis, yeah... just something i have been trying to get working. simple script.
[15:01] <sjm> ActionParsnip, no, I put in the "-a" and still got it.
[15:01] <erUSUL> camer0n_: check that the configuration is ok; it may be stuck in the authentification with gmail servers etc.
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: me neither, i dont think its important for support either so I havent dug into it
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> sjm: me too but it still gives the release name
[15:02] <sjm> ActionParsnip, yes, I was just curious about the message.  (I usually just use "cat /etc/issue")
[15:03] <camer0n_> erUSUL, i have a loop with a sleep command... i think that is the issue. will comment that out with testing :P
[15:03] <BluesKaj> luis_hasbon, check alsamixer in the terminal..for some reason the ctrls are either mutd or turned down after upgrades
[15:03]  * Chell is happy ssh is universal. Even under Haiku you can still run your favorite Ubuntu apps ;)
[15:03] <camer0n_> erUSUL, maybe i do not :S
[15:03] <rigved> hi everyone
[15:04] <luis_hasbon> BluesKaj:  it says alsamixer cant be open, cant find the file or directory
[15:04] <sjm> erUSUL, did you see my suggestion for the ubottu wording above?  to whom do I make the suggestion?
[15:04] <erUSUL> camer0n_: try #bash; you may want to paste the script so we can take a look
[15:04] <rigved> i want to watch some videos which require silverlight. which package should i install? i am using ubuntu 10.04 AMD64.
[15:05] <camer0n_> thanks will do..
[15:05] <erUSUL> sjm: #ubuntu-ops ; or do « /msg ubottu no, fakeraid is <reply> Your suggested wording here »
[15:06] <erUSUL> rigved: you can see if moonlight supports them
[15:06] <sjm> erUSUL, ok, thanks.
[15:06] <BluesKaj> luis_hasbon, ok install alsa-base and alsa-utils , also lspci in the terminal and look for audio controller , we need to know the sound card model
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  trying to do netflix ?
[15:07] <pder> hi.  i'm trying to write a postinst for a deb package.  part of it is to restart a service vi /etc/init.d/myservice restart.  when i try to do this i get the following error: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable.  there are no other processes accessing this file, at least via inspection of fuser/lsof
[15:07] <rigved> erUSUL: i'll try it
[15:07] <luis_hasbon> BluesKaj:  lspci? it cant find the package
[15:07] <luis_hasbon> BluesKaj:  lspci? i already got alsabase and utils
[15:07] <spacebug-> unity/wayland.. I'm getting second thought about ubuntu. Though I should be openminded. New stuff does not always mean bad stuff. I changed from 12 years of slackware usage to ubuntu about 10 months ago and found "the new"
[15:07] <rigved> Dr_Willis: i do not understand. what's netfix?
[15:07] <pder> i can only resolve it via reboot.  not sure how to clear the error or  prevent it from happening
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  proberly one of the biggest comercial video streaming/dvd rental services out there. :) (usa only i think)
[15:08] <luis_hasbon> BluesKaj:  which way can i know which soundcard do i use? i cant get to execute alsamixer and i already got alsabase and utils

[15:09] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  what site are you trying to watch anyway?>
[15:09] <j0d0> Is there a setting in 'power' or elsewhere to set a laptop screen to 'do nothing'  or not go blank when the lid is closed?

[15:09] <jovaro> Hi, I booted to text mode on my server which is connected to a CRT-tv but the timings/refreshrate etc is wrong and the screen is moving all over the place. How can I solve this?
[15:10] <rigved> Dr_Willis: ok. i'll try it. it's a site which i have made. it has a live stream from a computer. the video is displayed using the silverlight video player embeded into the site.
[15:10] <jovaro> There is no use in changing settings for X when you haven't started X yet, is there?

[15:22] <Dr_Willis> rever:  if you want just a 'window manager' theres dozens of them
[15:23] <rever> Dr_Willis: yeah just looking for something that is more then CLI. I planned on scripting tasks for him and createing web portals
[15:23] <rigved> Dr_Willis: no. it did not work. in firefox it just shows that the video is loading but it does not display. in chrome, i installed the microsoft media codec pack, but still no luck.
[15:24] <rigved> Dr_Willis: i'll check the site under windows later
[15:24] <rigved> Dr_Willis: thanx for help
[15:25] <rigved> erUSUL: thanx for your help
[15:25] <erUSUL> rigved: no problem
[15:25] <blue_anna> is there an aptitude command t force reinstallation of all packages ?
[15:26] <dani_> Hello, anyone know how can I reset my password with freenode?
[15:26] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, do the Asus Via audio onboards use intel chips? Looking for a driver for that soundcard.

[15:27] <dli> blue_anna, it's not difficult to do it with a little bash script
[15:27] <iulhk> hi all, newbie .. by installing ubuntu desktop OS we hv GUI ... can we get GUI by installing ubuntu server too ? or its just text based ?
[15:28] <blue_anna> dli, great :) what script? I'd want to read it before running it hopefully its not too complicated
[15:28] <fadein> dani_: that may be a better question for the ops in #freenode
[15:28] <fadein> dani_: go there and /msg an op
[15:28] <dani_> yeah fadein, thank you!
[15:28] <rigved> dani_: /msg NickServ set password <type your new password here>
[15:29] <dani_> rigved, can't do that because im not identified
[15:29] <makkura> erUSL: evidently the ruby script i was using only read from the file and didn't return back to save it, opps :P The problem with nano i think is actually an input problem. I'll mess with it directly later when i'm not passing keystrokes through vnc then putty. :p
[15:29] <dli> blue_anna, it may have side effects, but should work: apt-get --reinstall install $(dpkg -l|grep '^ii'|awk '{print $2}')
[15:29] <erUSUL> iulhk: server install does not have a gui
[15:30] <luis_hasbon> BluesKaj: DO i need to install alsamixer?
[15:30] <luis_hasbon> BluesKaj: DO i need to install alsamixer?
[15:30] <erUSUL> iulhk: you can install one afterwards; or you can install server software in a desktop install

[15:30] <blue_anna> dli, that looks like it would have side effects yeah
[15:30] <blue_anna> :) I was hoping for something like: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade --reinstall
[15:30] <makkura> erUSUL: Dr_Willis: ActionParsnip: thanks for the help :)
[15:30] <erUSUL> makkura: no problem
[15:30] <rigved> iulhk: sorry that was meant for dani_
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> makkura: np man

[15:31] <rigved> dani_: /msg NickServ register <type your username here> <type your password here>
[15:31] <BluesKaj> luis_hasbon, if you have alsa-base and alsa-utils installed then you have alsamixer , and I'm seraching for a solution to your problem , pls be patient

[15:36] <open_your_eyes> i have ubuntu-10.04-LTS on one of satellites
[15:36] <open_your_eyes> i was asked to update it to ubuntu-10.10
[15:36] <open_your_eyes> what is the safe way to do it

[15:37] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: make sure your backups are recent too
[15:37] <BluesKaj> !VIA
[15:37] <open_your_eyes> ActionParsnip: if i won't be able to connect there after update, i'm doomed
[15:37] <open_your_eyes> this satellite is vital to national security of USA
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: connect where?

[15:38] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: its fixing something that doesn't need fixing

[15:39] <open_your_eyes> ActionParsnip: i need to upgrade
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: why?
[15:39] <open_your_eyes> it isn't possible to use solar batteries on full capacity in ubuntu-10.04lts
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: then make your call
[15:39] <open_your_eyes> it lacks user-space driver compatibility
[15:39] <rigved> open_your_eyes: try it in a livecd first

[15:41] <mibbed> I have a problem with a dual boot
[15:41] <open_your_eyes> Pici: lol, i'm not joking at all
[15:41] <mibbed> I installed ubuntu on a second HDD
[15:41] <mibbed> with windows 7 on the first
[15:41] <mibbed> and intended it to be swapped over to my other machine
[15:41] <llac> Good evening!
[15:42] <mibbed> which has no disc drive or network connection
[15:42] <mibbed> but now the boot loader is messed up and I can't get into windows
[15:42] <rick97> hi
[15:42] <llac> hi rick97
[15:42] <mibbed> can't find any instructions that are specific to this, so I wondered if anyone here could help
[15:42] <goltoof> is there a way to see progress when copying one dir to another with cli
[15:42] <ubuntuser> привет
[15:42] <rick97>  please let me know the steps to install quake terminal on ubuntu 10.04
[15:43] <ubuntuser> I an new user of Ubuntu
[15:43] <ubuntuser> I am*
[15:43] <open_your_eyes> is it possible to turn current system into vm at runtime?
[15:43] <open_your_eyes> without losing connection?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> mibbed: you need an install CD or network connection to install os-probrer  then run: sudo os-prober
[15:43] <open_your_eyes> so i could then install ubuntu 10.10 on another vm
[15:43] <ubuntuser> in this moment i read the book"ubuntu for dummies"
[15:44] <open_your_eyes> and after checking i could make this 10.10 main os
[15:44] <mibbed> actionParsnip: and this will fix it?
[15:44] <goltoof> I'm copying a huge directory to a backup drive... it's just been sitting there, i'm sure it's working but it'd be nice to see the progress, next time i do this
[15:44] <rigved> open_your_eyes: install a emulator (like qemu). then install ubuntu 10.10 in it and then try the system if it works (connect to the vm)
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> mibbed: pretty much
[15:44] <open_your_eyes> rigved: is it possible to do remotely?
[15:44] <mibbed> ActionParsnip: great, thanks :D
[15:44] <pksadiq> !find flashing
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: you can PtoV in vmware
[15:45] <open_your_eyes> what is it?
[15:45] <ubuntuser> and in this moment I read the post of IRChat in ubuntu
[15:45] <open_your_eyes> can vmware run in console-only server?
[15:45] <rigved> open_your_eyes: yes
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: the server can, yes
[15:45] <open_your_eyes> hmm, there is 18Mb free
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: theres a dedicated OS for it called ESX
[15:45] <open_your_eyes> its an embedded system actually
[15:45] <open_your_eyes> very tight on space
[15:46] <noob-tux> can anyone tell me how to remove a package? what's the commands?
[15:47] <ubuntuser> hello!
[15:47] <mibbed> ActionParsnip: I didn't get any output, did it work?
[15:47] <jovaro> either use synaptic or with the terminal: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[15:47] <ubuntuser> answer me please
[15:47] <spost> sudo apt-get remove <package>
[15:47] <Grav> Hi, what is good app for burning ISO's ?
[15:47] <llac> noob-tux: sudo apt-get remove <package>
[15:47] <om26er> Grav, brasero?
[15:47] <ubuntuser> i dont know, IRC work  ?
[15:47] <open_your_eyes> its actually a nuclear-missiles-equipped satelite, so if anything will go out of control, the consequences will be quite serious
[15:47] <om26er> ubuntuser, yes
[15:47] <llac> ubuntuser: yes, it works
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> mibbed: ok now run: sudo update-grub
[15:48] <rigved> noob-tux: to remove and delete configuration files also, try - sudo apt-get purge <package>
[15:48] <Grav> om26er: ok gonna check it now, thanks
[15:48] <zackmax> hello there
[15:48] <mibbed> ActionParsnip: done, more talkative this time
[15:48] <mibbed> should it work now?
[15:48] <ks3> open_your_eyes, I wasn't aware Latvia had nuclear weapons
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> mibbed: do you see windows in the list of output?
[15:48] <morgancurrie> hey guys, while trying to deploy an update to my webapp today, i got some errors about apt-get update failing, and it seems like the repo for Intrepid is down/gone. any info?
[15:48] <zackmax> is unity only for netbooks or desktops too?
[15:49] <open_your_eyes> ks3: its an USA satellite
[15:49] <mibbed> no, only linux, memtest 86 and initrd
[15:49] <open_your_eyes> my location is for political cover
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> open_your_eyes: so you are asking casual users in an IRCchat for this sort of thing?
[15:49] <open_your_eyes> so i'm very scared to update ubuntu there..
[15:49] <mibbed> the other drive is mounted, if that effect anything
[15:49] <open_your_eyes> but it must be done..
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> Pici: good move
[15:50] <diegoviola> hi
[15:50] <diegoviola> ubuntu will use wayland from now on?
[15:50] <diegoviola> in further versions
[15:50] <diegoviola> 11.x
[15:50] <RichGuk> Hey, I have a openssh chroot question :)
[15:51] <zackmax> is wayland/unity only for netbooks bcuz its lighter or it can used on desktops with just as much power as gnome?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> diegoviola: its not in the maverick repo
[15:51] <Pici> diegoviola: #ubuntu+1 would be a better place to discuss. #ubuntu is for supported releases only, and only support at that.
[15:51] <mibbed> ActionParsnip: so if it isn't showing, do I need to unmount the drive it's on or something?
[15:51] <diegoviola> yes, but i would like to know if ubuntu will replace xorg with wayland
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> zackmax: you can use any WM / DE you can get your hands on, there is no such thing as "only" for netbooks
[15:51] <mattprokes> roo> addon install file:/home/webactivex/spring-surf-roo-addon-1.0.0.M2.jar --bundleSymbolicName spring-surf-roo-addon LEADS TO Could not find the 'spring-surf-roo-addon' bundle
[15:51] <llac> RichGuk: ask your question
[15:51] <rigved> open_your_eyes: then don't, if it concerns national security. what's more important, human lives or the fact that the battery doesn't charge fully
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> mibbed: no, you just need more work. Usually os-prober inds bootable OSes
[15:52] <mattprokes> anyone develop with java ROO before?
[15:52] <morgancurrie> I'm getting the following error when I run "apt-get update" on my server: Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages - 404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[15:52] <zackmax> ActionParsnip: I see.. but the news is that X/Gnome are being ditched.. so I was wondering if that's only for netbooks or for desktops as well
[15:52] <llac> mattprokes: what is java ROO?
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> morgancurrie: intrepid is dead
[15:52] <mibbed> This is a problem :/
[15:52] <RichGuk> llac: I did have it working fine, then I think some permissions got changed so it wasn't picking up the key, I fixed that but now it won't copy files over with scp, it just hangs and doesn't quit, or copy. The user has no shell, if I use sftp I can connect and put files fine though.
[15:53] <RichGuk> llac: I'll gist the debug of server/client
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> zackmax: depends on needs and tastes, X can be ditched if you can do without it
[15:53] <RichGuk> and sshd_config
[15:53] <mattprokes> llac: sorry, spring ROO
[15:53] <zackmax> I see... thanks
[15:53] <morgancurrie> ActionParsnip: I was able to get updates a few days ago. Did this just officially happen?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> zackmax: you can install any desktop on any type of system, the installer doesnt detect hardware and report "not running a netbook" and stop, it doesn't care
[15:53] <wzj> hi everyone
[15:53] <BluesKaj> !intelhda |luis_hasbon
[15:53] <zackmax> true.. makes sense
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> morgancurrie: it died on the 23rd October 2010
[15:54] <llutz> r.i.p.
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> zackmax: some will make the netbook more responsive and such but you can run a full gnome desktop with compiz if you feel like it

[15:56] <morgancurrie> ActionParsnip: thanks! perfect!
[15:56] <Pici> wzj: Take a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community
[15:56] <mibbed> ActionParsnip: All the things it finds are in its own file system, if that changes anything. Is there any way I can get windows to boot without using grub?
[15:56] <RichGuk> llac: https://gist.github.com/f39bfa170c1569eeaafe
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> mibbed: if the OS is on a seperate drive you can simply switch in BIOS. If you boot to windows CD and reinstate the windows boot loader then boot to ubuntu live CD and reinstate grub it should pickup the windows boot
[15:58] <rigved> how can i make the low-level graphics mode (desktop effects diabled) of ubuntu my default (so that grub boots into it when i start)?
[15:58] <rigved> i have a old compaq laptop, so it does not support the gnome de with the normal desktop effects enabled.
[15:58] <mibbed> ActionParsnip: excellent, I'll try that. Thanks
[15:59] <wzj> 3q~
[16:02] <paranoid_ndroid> I have two laptops connected to a local network via wi-fi but the transfer speed between computers is very very low (1 Mbps)

I want to use the -e option of xterm to do that.

[16:10] <goltoof> like? :)
[16:10] <mike_deb_h> 1GKSUDO
[16:10] <tao> sudo is temporary?
[16:10] <mike_deb_h> !sudo
[16:11] <FlyingSquirrel32> goltoof: sudo is for a single command
[16:11] <mike_deb_h> !gksudo
[16:11] <FlyingSquirrel32> goltoof: su logs you in as that user
[16:11] <mike_deb_h> sudo will hold priv for 10 minutes in that open window
[16:11] <goltoof> right i use sudo all the time but not su
[16:11] <goltoof> can i get just one example of su  use?
[16:11] <noob-tux> how can i play a dvd file in dvd disc? i used vlc and i got errors...
[16:12] <ks3> goltoof, With sudo, you only need to know your own password. With su, you need to password of the user you're trying to run commands as.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: stick to sudo and you'll have fewer issues
[16:12] <goltoof> ks3... ic now

[16:17] <asc_> wait, this isn't #mplayer

[16:35] <hiems> Hello. Anyone knows about this bug? After using a fullscreen flash video (eg. from youtube) or after watching a video fullscreen with Totem my left mouse click doesn't work anymore
[16:35] <hiems> Any idea?
[16:35] <Tuxiscool> Hello, I'm attempting to write a software installer, and looking for some opinions. Do people here think, if such an installation program was launched as a non-root user, software installed by the program should be installed in their /home directory (one they had access to) by default? Or would you think it should always query for root access and default to [a subdirectory of] /usr/local/? Note that this installer is meant to act as a
[16:35] <Tuxiscool>  centralised system, so it will keep track of all the software it installs (were the user wanting to uninstall it later).
[16:35] <ikonia> Nertil: error coe 127 is "command not found"
[16:35] <AnirbanHazra> how can I check whether curl is properly installed on my server or not ?
[16:35] <ikonia> Nertil: that should read "error code"
[16:35] <zteam> ikonia: okey, guess I have to take it from a liveCD or something then...
[16:35] <dreinull> I manage a set of linux boxes via ssh and just noticed that I still run an old krnel on 8.04 (2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686). How do I update to current?
[16:35] <ikonia> AnirbanHazra: curl www.google.com
[16:36] <ikonia> dreinull: what do you want to upgrade to ?
[16:36] <ikonia> Nertil: I'd suggest looking at the $PATH in your script
[16:36] <dreinull> the latest, ikonia. I usually upgrade via aptitude everyday
[16:36] <dreinull> but it doesnt affect my kernel obviously.
[16:36] <Nertil> fixing it now
[16:36] <jure_> ever since I've upgraded to 10.10, I'm noticing "ghosting" -- menu elements remain after clicking somewhere else -- what can I do to fix this?
[16:36] <ikonia> dreinull: ok, so upgrade them via aptitude to the latest 8.04 packaged kernel
[16:37] <hiems> Tuxiscool: for example, if I recall well, Google Earth's installer targets the home directory if launched as non root user
[16:37] <Pici> dreinull: 2.6.28 doesn't even appear to be in the 8.04 repositories. The maximum version there is 2.6.24.
[16:37] <dreinull> ikonia: I don't get the option to upgrade. And when they are upgraded they don't automatically get booted.
[16:37] <ikonia> dreinull: kernel upgrades are not auto boot, you still have to reboot them
[16:38] <dreinull> ikonia: no, not auto boot, but grub
[16:38] <Nertil> */5 * * * * /var/script/CCcamCheck.sh
[16:38] <Nertil> this is how look my line in crontab -e
[16:38] <dreinull> in my /boot folder I have vmlinuz-2.6.28-19-generic installed
[16:38] <ikonia> dreinull: they will get put to the top of the grub menu, which is what you want
[16:38] <ikonia> dreinull: from what Pici has said that's not a valid 8.04 kernel
[16:39] <patapra> hi, what does it mean when, after saving a file, it has # before and after it ?
[16:39] <dreinull> maybe I'm on 8.10 :)
[16:39] <Tuxiscool> hiems: As long as the option is there for both I guess it's fine? Installing to /home by default would only be a waste, I guess, if there are lots of users on a single machine, and how typical is that for the average desktop machine?
[16:39] <ikonia> dreinull: 8.10 is not supported any more, so there will be no more updates
[16:39] <Pici> dreinull: 8.10 didn't have that kernel version either, 9.04 did.  And 9.04 just reached its end of life.
[16:40] <Nahledge> A patch is redirecting me to /net/wireless/chan.c b/net/wireless/chan.c where exactly is this, i can't find it at all.
[16:40] <luis_hasbon> hey people, what could this be, with ubuntu 10.04 my  OS had sound i just installed 10.10 and it does not detect the sound hardware???
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> dreinull: intrepid is dead
[16:40] <Pici> Nertil: Does that file exist?
[16:40] <ikonia> Pici: your kernel package knowledge is most impressive
[16:40] <Pici> ikonia: rmadison linux
[16:40] <dreinull> ikonia: Pici: I'm on jaunty. whatever number that is.
[16:40] <Pici> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/CUuz62vv
[16:41] <ikonia> Pici: slick
[16:41] <dreinull> it was one of the lts versions
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> dreinull: jaunty is EOL and not supported
[16:41] <ikonia> dreinull: 9.04 is not lts
[16:41] <Pici> dreinull: 9.04 iwas not LTS and it reached its EOL on October 23rd.
[16:41] <fadein> I'm running 10.10 on an ASUS eeePC netbook. Many people have been complaining that the "disable touchpad" hotkey Fn+F3 doesn't work.  I've noticed that it does work in gdm, and it's after logging in to X that it ceases to work.  Can anyone explain what's happening between GDM and X that could cause this?
[16:41] <Nertil> i fixed
[16:41] <Pici> dreinull: lsb_release -a will show you your Ubuntu version.
[16:41] <dreinull> that explains why there are no updates any more
[16:42] <Nahledge> A patch is redirecting me to /net/wireless/chan.c b/net/wireless/chan.c where exactly is this, i can't find it at all.
[16:42] <hiems> Tuxiscool: I think you're right.
[16:42] <ikonia> Nahledge: within the kernel source tree
[16:42] <dschuett> http://paste.ubuntu.com/526417/ any ideas why i get those warning all of sudden every Sunday for the past 2 weeks. - I have an rsync backup cron that runs every night that includes /var/www
[16:42] <dreinull> anyway, I do have these other kernels in my /boot dir. So all I do is change the file name in my grub?
[16:43] <ikonia> dschuett: that file doens't exist,
[16:43] <ikonia> dschuett: or directory I should say
[16:44] <AnirbanHazra> how can I check whether curl is properly installed on my server or not ?
[16:44] <ikonia> AnirbanHazra: I've told you
[16:44] <cfedde> using netcat and tar to transfer hierarchy between systems.  Would either of those tools have limitations on the total ammount of data that they can transfer?
[16:44] <dschuett> ikonia - well i know that but i don't tell it to backup those TWO sepecific directories just /var/www
[16:44] <ikonia> dschuett: it's a log rotate error, not rsync
[16:44] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: are you around
[16:44] <dschuett> ikonia: any idea on how to get rid of it?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: sup
[16:45] <ikonia> dschuett: fix your logrotation in cron, make the directories,
[16:45] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: still getting problems, now slighly different
[16:45] <ZanQdo> did checksum and all
[16:45] <ZanQdo> amd data change...update new data to dmi update success

[16:46] <Tr3LoS> I have WinXP-Linux on my system and WinXP doesn't load... Should WinXP be mounted from Hard Disk Utility?
[16:46] <blue_anna> could anyone with Maverick verify that gconf2 is at version 2.31.91 please?
[16:46] <ikonia> Tr3LoS: mounting a disk is nothing to do with it "loading"
[16:46] <ikonia> Tr3LoS: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[16:46] <Tr3LoS> 10.10 maverick
[16:47] <ikonia> Tr3LoS: what do you mean by "windows won't load"
[16:47] <erUSUL> !info gconf2
[16:47] <Tr3LoS> Look, I recently changed the size of WinXP to a bigger one and now when I choose to boot WinXP it just stacks at loading..
[16:48] <ikonia> Tr3LoS: ok, then you need to talk to the guys in ##windows
[16:48] <Tr3LoS> ok thank you ikonia
[16:48] <blue_anna> erUSUL, thanks .. the fact that the gnome is at 2.32 gave me pause
[16:48] <kamsky> someone can tell me why this doesnt work??: echo ls | at now
[16:49] <dschuett> ikonia: any ideas why it gives warnings on those two directories and not others that don't exist anymore?
[16:49] <cyphase> how can i toggle caps lock from the command line?
[16:49] <ikonia> kamsky: wrong syntax for at
[16:49] <ikonia> dschuett: maybe those are the only 2 that are setup to log rotate,
[16:49] <ngirard> Hi all. How would you recommand me to perform an apt-get dist-upgrade on a remote machine via ssh ? Using screen ?
[16:50] <ikonia> ngirard: exactly as you've just said
[16:50] <kamsky> ikonia, syntax its ok, the problem is that it doesnt prints ls output
[16:50] <dschuett> ikonia: i have never messed with logrotate? - i'm not even sure how it works or what to do to fix this
[16:50] <ikonia> kamsky: syntax isn't ok, do "at now ls"
[16:50] <ikonia> kamsky: it will fail
[16:50] <dli> ngirard, yes, using screen will be good
[16:50] <kamsky> ikonia: $ at now ls
[16:50] <kamsky> syntax error. Last token seen: l
[16:50] <kamsky> Garbled time
[16:50] <dli> ngirard, also, do-release-upgrade
[16:50] <eurythmia> ngirard: I would reccoment tmux over screen, but otherwise, just as you said.
[16:51] <ikonia> kamsky: there you go, synatx is wrong
[16:51] <mibbed> Hi
[16:51] <mibbed> I was here about 30 minutes ago
[16:51] <cfedde> echo ls | at now # should work.
[16:51] <ngirard> Hi ikonia, dli. Thanks. So, err, something like screen $SHELL, then in the shell session I'd just perform the apt-get ?
[16:51] <mibbed> ubuntu's install medded up my windows and now I can't boot it
[16:51] <kamsky> ikonia, mysintax is ok..
[16:51] <mibbed> messed*, and nothing suggested has worked
[16:51] <mibbed> anyone have experience with anything like this?
[16:51] <dli> ngirard, in screen, do-release-upgrade instead of apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:52] <mibbed> because this is bad
[16:52] <ikonia> kamsky: then why does at now ls not work
[16:52] <kamsky> cfedde, the problem is that it doesnt work, if instead ls i write... touch proof, it creates the file
[16:52] <ngirard> dli: thanks again, didn't know about do-release-upgrade
[16:52] <cfedde> kamsky: what do you expect it to do?
[16:53] <ikonia> mibbed: ubuntu doesn't touch your windows OS
[16:53] <blue_anna> !dualboot > mibbed
[16:53] <kamsky> cfedde, see output of ls
[16:53] <cfedde> kamsky: it sends the results as email
[16:53] <mibbed> ikonia: I know, but it does touch the boot loader
[16:53] <kamsky> cfedde, email?¿? i want it on screen
[16:53] <ikonia> mibbed: no - it doesn't, it just chainloads with grub
[16:53] <ikonia> mibbed: what is the issue with booting windows, what problem ?
[16:53] <mibbed> ikonia well in that case, grub is corrupted
[16:53] <ikonia> mibbed: why is grub corrupted
[16:54] <ikonia> mibbed: explain
[16:54] <mibbed> because I get told the device isn't found, then get some kind of serial
[16:54] <mibbed> and grub rescue starts
[16:54] <mibbed> whenever I try and boot windows, but ubuntu works fine
[16:54] <ngirard> dli: the trick is, i've already performed a s/lucid/maverick/g on my sources.list ; should i go one step backward ?
[16:54] <ikonia> mibbed: so grub is referncing a device for your winows disk that doesn't exist, you need to change your grub.cfg to point at the correct device
[16:55] <ikonia> mibbed: it's not corrupt, it's not touched windows, it's just looking at the wrong device
[16:55] <kamsky> cfedde, some idea?¿
[16:55] <mibbed> ikonia: ahah, how would I do that?
[16:55] <Dwade09> is there something i can type in the terminal that would give me my laptop hdd measurements or some other way to get my hdd measurements ?
[16:55] <ikonia> !grub2 > mibbed
[16:55] <ikonia> Dwade09: sudo fdisk -l will show you your hard disk info
[16:55] <cyphase> ah, you can toggle caps lock using python: http://efreedom.com/Question/1-2353112/Anybody-Know-Toggle-Caps-Lock-Python
[16:55] <mibbed> thanks
[16:56] <Dwade09> thank you ikonia
[16:56] <pksadiq> How can I flash firmware to usb flash storage devices?
[16:56] <ikonia> pksadiq: you will need the firmware flashing tool provided by your device
[16:57] <cfedde> kamsky: echo 'ls > /tmp/ls' | at now
[16:57] <Dwade09> ikonia, i do not see where it would tell me the size of it like if its 2.5" or little more then 2.5 " not its actual size inside the hdd.
[16:58] <kamsky> cfedde, but it creates a file, i want to see on the terminal
[16:58] <cfedde> kamsky: the issue is that a command run that way does not have access to the terminal
[16:58]  * lilylnx slaps lilylnx around a bit with a large trout
[16:58] <kamsky> cfedde, ok, and if for example i try: echo wireshark | at now
[16:58] <ikonia> Dwade09: oh, you mean the physical size, you won't be able to get that
[16:58] <kamsky> cfedde, it doesnt start
[16:59] <Dwade09> thanks ikonia
[16:59] <cfedde> kamsky: because there is no terminal associated with the session started by at
[16:59] <kamsky> cfedde, can i fix this?
[16:59] <kamsky> cfedde, maybe exporting display var?
[16:59] <cfedde> kamsky: I'm not sure what there is to fix.
[17:00] <mibbed> ikonia: there are 2 grub.cfg s
[17:00] <Guest82470> Hi. I removed the 'notification area' from panel and when I try to add it I only get the 'move bar' and nothing beside. How can I fix this?
[17:00] <kamsky> cfedde, i want that in 20 minutes start watching a film...
[17:00] <mibbed> in grub-pc and grub common
[17:00] <pksadiq> ikonia: ? I's saying about Mass storage device
[17:01] <pksadiq> I'm*
[17:01] <cfedde> kamsky: sleep 1200; vlc.....
[17:01] <fruttis> hi
[17:01] <ikonia> pksadiq: you need to use the tool your device provides
[17:01] <kamsky> cfedde, but i want to program it with at..

[17:02] <fruttis> Russia
[17:02] <prakash> I need help - cups - "CUPS server error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error'."
[17:02] <cfedde> kamsky: I suspect there is a way to make the session started by at find the right display.  But in general it has no way to know if you're even still logged in when it starts.
[17:02] <kamsky> cfedde, ok, thanks
[17:02] <fruttis> Who ? Russian

[17:03] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip:  it hangs again on Verifying DMI Pool Data ........................ Update Success
[17:03] <Guest82470> ActionParsnip: I just want notification area back. I've done to much customization to reset everything.
[17:03] <mibbed> ikonia: It isn't being found by os-prober
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: if you jump in BIOS there may be an option to reset DMI pool data
[17:04] <mibbed> and the "DO NOT EDIT THE FILE" is something I'll try to listen to, lol
[17:04] <AndrewMC> Guest82470: right click panel> add to panel> then add notification area
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest82470: right click the panel and select add item, you may have to remove the window list applet to add it, then re-add the window picker app
[17:04] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: I just tried the live usb on my ntbook and it loaded instantly
[17:04] <dreinull> is there anything that can go wrong when updating from 9.04 to 10.10?
[17:05] <kamsky> cfedde, this works: echo export DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \&\& wireshark | at now
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> dreinull: you need to upgrade to Karmic first, then to lucid first
[17:05] <pksadiq> ikonia: there isn't such a tool provided with device
[17:06] <dreinull> ActionParsnip: can it break my ubuntu? I'm 2k km away from my machines.
[17:06] <ikonia> pksadiq: then you can't do it
[17:06] <Guest82470> AndrewMC: Like I said I've done that. ActionParsnip : Sounds strange still I can try. Thanks.
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> dreinull: sure it can, read some stuff online there are lots of upgrade woes possible
[17:06] <mibbed> Ikonia?
[17:06] <ikonia> mibbed: what ?
[17:06] <Out_Cold> dreinull, in my experience, if you can't afford a fail without time, don't bother
[17:07] <mibbed> os-prober hasn't worked
[17:07] <AndrewMC> Guest82470: and if you need to move it... right click it> move
[17:07] <dreinull> Out_Cold: I cant afford insecurity either.
[17:07] <ikonia> mibbed: ok ?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> dreinull: i personally always clean install, less pain
[17:07] <Out_Cold> dreinull, it pays to be on your box and possibly have another box nearby just to check that everything is good
[17:08] <mibbed> so I'm stuck here; how am I supposed to get it to recognise my windows?
[17:08] <ikonia> manually configure it
[17:08] <mibbed> fff
[17:08] <mibbed> you know, I picked ubuntu because it was supposed to be easy
[17:08] <Chaos2358> anyone familiar with the empathy chat client on 10.10? i can chat till the cows come home but no one can initiate a voice or vid call with me via the yahoo account and every time i try to initiate either it logs me out of my yahoo
[17:08] <Out_Cold> a chm is a windows file? i'm trying to increase font size in kchmviewer but it's only increasing the header size
[17:08] <mibbed> manually configuring boot loaders :s
[17:09] <pksadiq> ikonia: Why not? in windows I use the tools from flashboot.ru to change the firmware, but don't know How to do the same in linux, wine seems not to work well
[17:09] <goltoof> Out_Cold,  try a different viewer... some are better than others, some are total crap
[17:09] <ikonia> pksadiq: don't update firmware using wine, and if you don't have a tool to do it, you can't do it
[17:09] <Out_Cold> mibbed, it is usually in most cases easy... always an oddball. especially if it's a mixed configuration
[17:09] <jovaro> I just updated to 10.4 and now my screen flickers when ubuntu has booted, during the boot process the screen is fine, but at some point it starts flickering. This is all before starting X
[17:09] <Out_Cold> mibbed, grub2?
[17:09] <jovaro> How can I solve this?
[17:09] <mibbed> Out_Cold: I presume so
[17:10] <Out_Cold> mibbed, is it working now?
[17:10] <mibbed> Out_Cold: I'm using 10:10, so I don't see why not
[17:10] <mibbed> and no
[17:10] <Out_Cold> the box doesn't load anything?
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> jovaro: what is the output of:  lspci | grep -i vga
[17:10] <mibbed> windows is on a separate disk if it changes anything
[17:10] <Chaos2358> anyone familiar with the empathy chat client on 10.10? i can chat till the cows come home but no one can initiate a voice or vid call with me via the yahoo account and every time i try to initiate either it logs me out of my yahoo
[17:10] <mibbed> it loads ubuntu /safe mode
[17:10] <mibbed> initrd and memtest 86+
[17:10] <Out_Cold> mibbed, good to know but not pertinant
[17:10] <ngirard> eurythmia: thanks for pointing out tmux
[17:11] <ikonia> Chaos2358: I'm not sure if voice is supported
[17:11] <jovaro> ActionParsnip, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01)
[17:11] <olskolirc> how do I get pico/nano to wrap long lines please?
[17:11] <mibbed> Out_Cold : aha
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> Chaos2358: gyache can do voice with yahoo
[17:11] <Chaos2358> ikonia in the new empathy it has the options for it
[17:11] <Out_Cold> mibbed, have you been on the ubuntu grub pages?
[17:11] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: load optimized defaults?
[17:11] <ikonia> Chaos2358: doesn't mean it works/supported
[17:11] <Chaos2358> gyathi isnt updated for 10. 10 yet
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> jovaro: yeah was kinda hoping it wasnt one of those
[17:11] <Out_Cold> !grub
[17:11] <mibbed> Out_Cold: yep
[17:11] <Chaos2358> ikonia that sucks
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: there will be an option to clear DMI data
[17:12] <jovaro> ActionParsnip, it works fine on a regular screen, but on the tv it flickers like crazy...
[17:12] <mibbed> Out_Cold: not the former though, I'll look there
[17:12] <mibbed> thanks
[17:12] <ikonia> Chaos2358: check if it is supported, I dont think it is, that doesn't mean I'm correct
[17:12] <jovaro> and I use it on the tv....
[17:12] <Out_Cold> mibbed in a terminal run grub -v or grub --version
[17:12] <Chaos2358> ikonia how do i see if it is supported?
[17:12] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip:cant see it
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> jovaro: you may need to set different refresh rate then
[17:13] <mibbed> uh oh
[17:13] <mibbed> "The program 'grub' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install grub"
[17:13] <ikonia> Chaos2358: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#How_can_I_connect_to_.28a_protocol.29_in_Empathy_.3F
[17:13] <Out_Cold> sorry grub2
[17:13] <jovaro> ActionParsnip, how do I do that? It is all before X is started so no use changing stuff in xorg.conf right?
[17:13] <mibbed> oh, ok :D
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: ok then the only other way I know is to disconnect all power and pull the watch battery out of the motherboard, don't do this unless you are ok with hardware
[17:13] <Out_Cold> gru'-tab'
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> jovaro: you can use the framebuffer driver with extra config
[17:14] <blue_anna> !compiz
[17:14] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: just to be clear, the system boots ok
[17:14] <ZanQdo> its just when I try this USB key boot loader than it fails
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> jovaro: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: then check the USB consistency once it starts to boot
[17:14] <Out_Cold> mibbed, if you a brand new to linux, tab is great for avoiding spelling errors and viewing choices. if you are typing in a terminal just pause once in a while even in mid word and hit tab key
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: or a different port
[17:15] <jovaro> ActionParsnip, I'll go read that, thanks!
[17:15] <ikonia> Chaos2358: doesn't look like it's supported
[17:15] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: usb never boots
[17:15] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: but it does on a different pc
[17:15] <mibbed> Out_Cold thanks, this looks great
[17:15] <Chaos2358> ikonia it says audio video chat supported
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> ZanQdo: then try setting different usb options in bios, as well as make sure you have the latest bios
[17:15] <ikonia> Chaos2358: where ?
[17:16] <Out_Cold> mibbed, get a version #? I can't send you a link for the wrong grub... They are terribly different
[17:16] <Chaos2358> ikonia Audio and Video calls
[17:16] <Chaos2358> Does Empathy support audio and video chat?
[17:16] <Chaos2358> Yes. Empathy should be compatible with any client which implement Jingle and supports ICE and the corresponding XEPs properly.
[17:16] <mibbed> Out_Cold: it jumps to "grub-" then when I v it gives me a command not found
[17:16] <UTF> any of u guys ever experience clicking and popping sounds when more than one program uses the audio?
[17:16] <arrrghhh> hey all need some startup script help.  i built a script in init.d, added it with update-rc.d.  everything is fine, but it seems the script didn't start as expected.  what logs can i look in to see why it failed?
[17:16] <Out_Cold> no - lol
[17:16] <mibbed> trying out grub2, propos grub2, etc
[17:16] <ikonia> Chaos2358: yes, and does yagoo use ice/ or ICE and a valid XEP ?
[17:17] <ikonia> Chaos2358: yahoo is a propriatary protocol
[17:17] <UTF> i can use it as it is... but sometimes I hear a few clicks n' pops
[17:17] <Chaos2358> ikonia ok now you are speaking chinese to me lol
[17:17] <ikonia> Chaos2358: yahoo seems to use sip for voice chat, so voice chat may work
[17:17] <Chaos2358> ikonia neither work
[17:17] <ikonia> Chaos2358: ok, so it says it works with supported protocols, which are SIP/XMMP/Gtalk,
[17:17] <Out_Cold> oh ya... sorry mibbed... do grub-in(tab) -v
[17:17] <ikonia> Chaos2358: yahoo is a propitary protocol, the voice chat appears to be based on sip, so "may" work
[17:17] <mibbed> ahah, thanks
[17:18] <Chaos2358> i dont get how it will tell me which of my contacts have webcams and if they are on but wont connect to them
[17:18] <mibbed> grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3
[17:18] <Chaos2358> ikonia^
[17:19] <ikonia> Chaos2358: because the client will advertise the hardware capabilities (especially if they are using official yahoo client) to the server, however you need the correct protocol to connect to them
[17:19] <AndroidLoverInSF> which cvs client is best on linux? i know of cervisia and tkcvs? you guys like any in particular? i miss tortoisesvn
[17:19] <ikonia> AndroidLoverInSF: there isn't a "best" it's personal prefernce, try them out
[17:19] <Chaos2358> ikonia ok i got it now and im assuming there is no way to edit these protocols to actually support it is there?
[17:19] <ikonia> Chaos2358: no
[17:20] <ikonia> Chaos2358: yahoo own it
[17:20] <mibbed> Out_Cold is that what you needed?
[17:20] <Chaos2358> ikonia, ok well i guess ill keep using facetime on my iphone then thanks man
[17:20] <ikonia> no problem
[17:22] <arrrghhh> init.d script failures?  where are they logged?
[17:24] <Out_Cold> mibbed, yes sorry
[17:24] <ZanQdo> ActionParsnip: ok removing battery wasnt succesful
[17:24] <ZanQdo> now will try to update bios
[17:24] <Out_Cold> mibbed, had to let the dog out. it's the same as grub2.
[17:24] <mibbed> Out_Cold 's ok, thanks for helping
[17:24] <Out_Cold> give me a sec to find the favored link
[17:24] <mibbed> will do
[17:25] <streetmapp> hey all, i'm having troubles getting my vim to apply the colorscheme i'd like to use.  i've installed vim and not just vim-tiny. and edited my /etc/vimrc file. any help?
[17:25] <Out_Cold> mibbed, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[17:26] <mibbed> Out_Cold sure, one moment
[17:27] <FlyingSquirrel32> Im on ubuntu, how can I install an older version of pisa? I tried downloading the tar.gz and running setup.py
[17:27] <Out_Cold> mibbed, check out this link as well. http://grub.enbug.org/ChainLoadWindows
[17:27] <mibbed> Out_Cold uhm, forgotten how to do this. Though it was sudo grub.cfg but that isn't working
[17:27] <mibbed> thanks
[17:28] <Out_Cold> mibbed, you can use 'nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg' or 'gedit /boot/grub/grubcfg'
[17:29] <Out_Cold> possibly with sudo
[17:29] <mibbed> Out_Cold it's empty
[17:29] <Out_Cold> mibbed, fantastic lol
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> Out_Cold: if you only need read access it should be readable
[17:29] <mibbed> Out_Cold indeed :(
[17:30] <mibbed> Out_Cold would updating fix it?
[17:30] <Out_Cold> mibbed, yes but using grub, not apt
[17:31] <Teth> I have a Radeon 8500 LE
[17:31] <Teth> and I'd like to use the S-video out for it
[17:31] <Teth> do I have a snowball's chance in hell?
[17:31] <mibbed> Out_Cold hold on, manually going to the file works, but gedit in command line doesn't
[17:31] <trojan_spike> mibbed, is this a fresh install that isnt loading?
[17:31] <mibbed> Out_Cold should I carry on?
[17:31] <mibbed> trojan_spike yes
[17:31] <jarnos> Is it normal to have two or more users in output of "users" command, even if you just logged in ubuntu?
[17:31] <mibbed> of ubuntu, at least
[17:31] <Out_Cold> mibbed, yes i'm sure we'll still want to see the cfg
[17:32] <trojan_spike> try setting the BIOS to load DEFAULTS.
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> Teth: you may need an xorg.conf file
[17:32] <mibbed> http://pastebin.com/yh6qjnwf
[17:32] <Out_Cold> jarnos, all you?? do you have open terminals also?
[17:32] <trojan_spike> run sudo update-grub ' to see what will load
[17:33] <mibbed> trojan_spike have done, it doesn't make any difference
[17:33] <Efthymios> is there a way to restart x without having a command line or loging in and out?
[17:33] <trojan_spike> does win or ubuntu show up?
[17:33] <mibbed> trojan_spike ubuntu does, windows doesn't
[17:34] <trojan_spike> have u got ur windows DVD?
[17:34] <Out_Cold> mibbed, use the info from here http://grub.enbug.org/ChainLoadWindows
[17:34] <Out_Cold> see where you get
[17:34] <vbwe> hey im totally new to ubuntu and i want to install it to, i currently have w7.. is it better for me to install ubuntu on vmware or what?
[17:34] <mibbed> trojan_spike no, it came pre-installed and I don't have the same edition lying around
[17:34] <Out_Cold> there is no entry in the cfg for it... was just missed
[17:34] <mibbed> Out_Cold thanks, I was just looking through this
[17:34] <mibbed> definitely going to attempt it
[17:35] <trojan_spike> u will need to fix / repair windows MBR.
[17:35] <jarnos> Out_Cold, yes, i suppose the others are from the terminals.
[17:35] <trojan_spike> XP or WIN7?
[17:35] <mibbed> trojan_spike 7
[17:36] <Out_Cold> mibbed, it should still be the same idea...
[17:36] <vbwe> if i want to try ubuntu first time
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: each has advantages
[17:36] <trojan_spike> mibbed, : http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
[17:36] <mibbed> Out_Cold oh, ok
[17:36] <vbwe> but which can i do better
[17:36] <Out_Cold> although 7 does have a visible boot loader now
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: vmware/virtualbox will alter your (crappy) OS less
[17:36] <trojan_spike> yea it does,, its kept separate
[17:36] <Out_Cold> trojan_spike, mibbed mentioned that the win7 is on a seperate hdd... mbr is intact
[17:37] <vbwe> ActionParsnip
[17:37] <trojan_spike> oh
[17:37] <vbwe> i will pick dual boot option
[17:37] <mibbed> trojan_spike i'll get this later, and the install is on another disc
[17:37] <trojan_spike> so whats the problem?
[17:37] <vbwe> how do i do that for w7 you got any reading material ?
[17:37] <mibbed> looks like I'll be needing it soon if I carry on like this then
[17:37] <mibbed> though*
[17:37] <Out_Cold> grub2 doesn't have an entry for win7
[17:37] <Ichat> mibbed:  -   - you can also obtain windows 7 disks from the net,  ie. as long as you use your private key instead of the  often included warez keys. its legal in most keys...
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: you can use win7's partition resizer to make unpartitioned space (run your backups first) then ubuntu wil loffer to install to the free space
[17:38] <vbwe> how much gb is enough
[17:38] <vbwe> ?
[17:38] <mibbed> Ichat indeed, was going to try and get one
[17:38] <mibbed> slash will
[17:38] <vbwe> for first time 30gb?
[17:38] <Out_Cold> vbwe, to test anywhere from 8-20gb
[17:38] <trojan_spike> aww,, because its separate,,
[17:38] <vbwe> and if i want to make it bigger
[17:38] <vbwe> i need to reinstall
[17:38] <Out_Cold> for a production machine, it can be anything
[17:38] <Out_Cold> vbwe, no
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: you'll need about 6Gb for the OS and enough space to be comfortable, then as much space as youo want for user data
[17:38] <rinku_kokiri> why did i get thrown into ubuntu-unregged
[17:39] <Pici> rinku_kokiri: I'd guess because you're unregistered/unidentified.
[17:39] <rinku_kokiri> that would be incorrect
[17:39] <rinku_kokiri> because i've been regged for months
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: ubuntu can also read and write ntfs, Windows cannot access ext4 which is the default fs in Ubuntu, despite ext4 definitions being completely available for use
[17:39] <Pici> rinku_kokiri: You aren't identified currently.
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: 30Gb is waaaay enough
[17:39] <Out_Cold> rinku_kokiri, if you identify after your script loads your joins, it'll throw you in there
[17:39] <Breetai> Every time I run vmplayer it has to recompile the kernel modules. Anyone have an idea of how to fix that?
[17:39] <vbwe> ill use 20 hehe
[17:40] <Pici> Out_Cold: Hes still not identified.
[17:40] <vbwe> how much gb is ubuntu iso
[17:40] <mibbed> How do I get this this non- read only?
[17:40] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all. Is there a place where I can read about why the decision was made to move away from Gnome as the wm/UI for Ubuntu?
[17:40] <vbwe> do i need to burn it first
[17:40] <rinku_kokiri> wrong password
[17:40] <rinku_kokiri> new install lmao
[17:40] <Pici> rinku_kokiri: :)
[17:40] <trojan_spike> mibbed, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[17:40] <rinku_kokiri> anyway... my volume control does everything but control my volume
[17:40] <Pici> vbwe: 700mb, yes.
[17:40] <mibbed> trojan_spike Thanks
[17:40] <rinku_kokiri> it makes sammiches, but can't turn audio up
[17:40] <Out_Cold> mibbed, gksu gedit /boot/grub/gru(tab).cfg
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: for a true dualboot, yes. MD5 test te iso before use and burn slow
[17:41] <vbwe> or universal usb
[17:41] <vbwe> is that poss ?
[17:41] <Ichat> mibbed you can also (perhaps better for you) use    partedmagic  - it includes also a partition editor backup tools and a super-grub disk
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> vbwe: universal usb?
[17:41] <vbwe> ActionParsnip
[17:41] <mibbed> Ichat looking it up now
