[20:21] <iceroot> kuntau: create a root-user doesnt help with your problm in the gui
[20:21] <walbert1> sudo su to get a root shell, and then passwd to set a password
[20:22] <iceroot> walbert1: dont use sudo su, use sudo -i
[20:22] <grpace> iceroot... ubuntu is on a separate drive, with xampp and many add-ons installed...  i gotta redo all this if i install 64-bit?
[20:22] <iceroot> grpace: yes
[20:22] <grpace> bummer!
[20:22] <iceroot> grpace: you cant upgrade to amd64 version
[20:22] <Guest54152> iceroot, y
[20:22] <ikonia> Seb_: please join #ubuntu-ops

[20:23] <Seb_> ikonia, why?
[20:23] <Neurotiquette> whats the hot key to rapidly switch workspaces?
[20:23] <ikonia> Seb_: because I'd like to talk to you
[20:23] <Seb_> lol
[20:23] <iceroot> Neurotiquette: ctrl # alt # left/right arrow
[20:23] <grpace> thank you.  not the best news... but thank you all the same.
[20:23] <iceroot> Neurotiquette: + instead of # :)
[20:23] <Neurotiquette> iceroot: Awesome. Thanks!!
[20:24] <blalb> does anyone know of user-related settings files outside the home folder?
[20:24] <iceroot> blalb: for what?
[20:24] <iceroot> blalb: normally there is everything in ~/.name-of-the-app
[20:26] <blalb> iceroot: for some reason ubuntu ignores the session I pick using the "login screen" program in gnome's settings. It doesn't do this for new users, though.
[20:26] <gixgix> from the command line, how do i open the current directory in a window?
[20:27] <SlidingHorn> gixgix: depending on what flavor of ubuntu (for normal ubuntu) you'd type: nautilus /dir/location/
[20:27] <iceroot> gixgix: nautilus .   i guess
[20:27] <gixgix> ah, splendid
[20:27] <gixgix> thanks
[20:27] <blalb> iceroot: I can hand pick what session to use from the login screen, but the settings manager that I can use while logged in now has no effect
[20:27] <Roasted> so, quick question. If I want to edit the default layout of the index page on apache, what is the file to edit the html coding in? Is it /var/www/index.html? Somehow when I edit this file - NOTHING happens...
[20:28] <iceroot> blalb: what you mean with "sesson"
[20:28] <blalb> iceroot: I can pick between GNOME, Ubuntu Netbook Edition, Ubuntu Netbook Edition 2d, and xmonad
[20:28] <SlidingHorn> roasted: you have to make sure that you're the owner of the file (or that the file's permissions allow you as another user to edit the file), save the file and then you're all set...
[20:29] <oCean_> Roasted: yes, that's default after install. However, you could check the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file where the DocumentRoot is
[20:29] <vlt> iceroot: Thank you
[20:29] <blalb> I'm not sure what session means, but that's the label attached to the drop down menu
[20:29] <vlt> I installed glipper. How to start it?
[20:29] <Roasted> SlidingHorn, I was editing the file as root with gksudo nautilus.... however when I save it and f5 the page (even ctrl f5) the changes arent applied.
[20:29] <iceroot> Roasted: its /var/www/index.html (on debian) so i guess its the same on ubuntu
[20:29] <iceroot> Roasted: but i already told you to look at the log which files is used
[20:30] <vlt> `glipper` -> cmd not found
[20:30] <iceroot> vlt: type glipper in command line or have a look at the applications-menu
[20:30] <Roasted> iceroot, I did look through the logs. Theres a ton of them. Besides, it doesnt make sense that I edited the file and NO changes were made.
[20:30] <SlidingHorn> roasted: then I believe your apache is set up differently than I'm used to.  Take iceroot's suggestion to view the logs to find out which file is used
[20:30] <biagidp> Hi all.  I've just upgraded my ubuntu server from 8.04 to 10.04 and I'm getting errors when trying to restart apache about port 80 already being in use.  Has anyone had experience with this error after upgrade?
[20:30] <Roasted> SlidingHorn, already been through the logs man.
[20:30] <oCean_> Roasted: the the DocumentRoot in the vhost config
[20:30] <blalb> iceroot: I can also select failsafe GNOME or an xterm
[20:30] <belisarius> hello
[20:30] <SlidingHorn> roasted:  well then the answer is in there.
[20:30] <webPragmatist> why would my vim in INSERT mode left and right shows D and S or something
[20:30] <czarny> hello
[20:30] <Roasted> SlidingHorn, I saw nothing relevant to what I am looking for.
[20:30] <kale> where do i change the contents of the grub menu?
[20:30] <term_oldcomp1> ? question:  attempting to share a folder with a win98se machine.  however it's getting a "share name not found" error when it tries to connect to it.  how to fix it pls?
[20:30] <iceroot> webPragmatist: because its not vim, its vi
[20:30] <iceroot> webPragmatist: sudo apt-get install vim
[20:31] <iceroot> webPragmatist: sorry, its vi not vim
[20:31] <webPragmatist> gotcha
[20:31] <webPragmatist> thanks
[20:31] <SlidingHorn> iceroot: flood alert  :-P  j/k
[20:31] <iceroot> webPragmatist: vi doesnt know the arrow-keys and noone knows why ubuntu doesnt come with vim by default

[20:47] <telephone> why is 64bit ubuntu not recommended for dayly desktop use??
[20:47] <Guest54152> telephone, its bad
[20:47] <vlt> huh?
[20:47] <Guest54152> baaad
[20:47] <telephone> why is 64bit ubuntu bad??
[20:47] <Guest54152> telephone, not compatible with progrms
[20:47] <Erix> no flash :)
[20:47] <Daekdroom> Spends too much RAM
[20:48] <pLr> belisarius:  are you using alsa? do u still have pulseaudio?
[20:48] <SlidingHorn> telephone: it's not very actively developed as compared to the x86 versions, as not many people use it (according to ubuntu's explanation)
[20:48] <ziggy_> telephone: I use 9.10 64-bit
[20:48] <Ziphilt> erix, yes there is flash
[20:48] <Guest54152> nah
[20:48] <dag> it's good if you need making 3d, or you don't need
[20:48] <pLr> telephone: its not bad its unstable cuz most ppl dont have it so no bug reports :9
[20:48] <Guest54152> dag, how do you make 3d
[20:49] <ziggy_> telephone: as for flash, just make sure to use the 64-bit BETA release; much more stable that using the 32-bit edition
[20:49] <telephone> I currently have 64 bit gentoo, but want better powerusage for my laptop. Hence I wanted to use ubuntu as base system.
[20:49] <kuntau> ziggy_: installed alsa then what do i do
[20:49] <dag> guest54152 : blender
[20:49] <Guest54152> dag, k cool
[20:49] <Guest54152> telephone, why do you want 64
[20:49] <k-rad> is awn not too bad of those docks of the ones that are out there ?  its an older one, i haven't kept up with the newer ones, i'm hoping i'm not missing one thats tons better
[20:50] <belisarius> pLr: I don't think that I have pulseaudio, but I'm new to ubuntu, so I can't say for sure
[20:50] <SlidingHorn> k-rad: there are lots of good dock apps out there....take a look @ awn, cairo, wbar, & simdock
[20:50] <ziggy_> kuntau: I think that was pLr's suggestion about alsamixer
[20:50] <DarkStar1> k-rad: I use Cairo. It's not failed me yet
[20:50] <telephone> because I have a 64bit system.
[20:50] <k-rad> SlidingHorn, between Cairo and AWN, which would you choose ?
[20:50] <k-rad> DarkStar1, is it fully featured ?
[20:51] <seb_> hello can someone help me with my wireless internet connection
[20:51] <seb_> ?
[20:51] <Guest54152> telephone, use 32
[20:51] <Guest54152> bit
[20:51] <pLr> belisarius: yea u probably do.. a lot of the stuff in your pastebin is old..
[20:51] <seb_> it dosn't seem to be installed
[20:51] <kuntau> ah
[20:51] <kuntau> wrong
[20:51] <oCean_> telephone: you can perfectly use 64 bit, as long as your processor is capable
[20:51] <uggis> guys, what you would choose; openGL or directX?
[20:51] <ziggy_> telephone: I've got no information sources about the power usage profile of ubuntu 64-bit
[20:52] <pLr> belisarius:
[20:52] <Guest54152> ocean nah
[20:52] <belisarius> pLr: And what can I do to change that?
[20:52] <pLr> belisarius:  http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=sb+audigy+2+ubuntu
[20:52] <SlidingHorn> k-rad: never tried cairo...had some issues with awn -- the only one i have real experience with and didn't have problems with was wbar...but I didn't really extensively research any of them
[20:52] <DarkStar1> k-rad: I haven't tried awn but tbh cairo I haven't had any issues with cairo since Lucid
[20:52] <oCean_> Guest54152: yes. Don't tell lies
[20:52] <Guest54152> ocean5, dude
[20:52] <telephone> ubuntu seems to have changed. So what is the difference between "desktop" and "notebook"  downloads?
[20:52] <Guest54152> ocean5, nah
[20:52] <oCean_> Guest54152: telephone full supported, all apps in the repositories. No need to worry
[20:52] <pLr> belisarius: you can remove pulseaudio by "apt-get remove pulseaudio"
[20:53] <pLr> belisarius: but read online before you act
[20:53] <pLr> :D
[20:53] <kuntau> pLr: what option to check in alsa
[20:53] <Guest54152> ocean5, nah
[20:53] <belisarius> Will do so, thank you
[20:53] <telephone> I do not want a heavyweight system, I mostly want a laptop with long battery life, and then programming.
[20:54] <Guest54152> no flash
[20:54] <telephone> ...battery duration time...
[20:54] <kuntau> i try some but still doestn change anything
[20:54] <oCean_> Guest54152: don't lie
[20:54] <Guest54152> occy, y
[20:54] <craigbass1976> I'm having a smidgen of trouble...  WHat are the packages I need to run a samba server?
[20:54] <SlidingHorn> telephone: if that's the case then why are you trying to get 64-bit?  you should be well served with a 32-bit system
[20:54] <dag> telephone; +1
[20:54] <SlidingHorn> !samba | craigbass1976
[20:54] <vlt> craigbass1976: "samba" should do it
[20:54] <ziggy_> telephone: I think that battery life would be a funtion of your usage patterns
[20:54] <Guest54152> SlidingHorn, telephone yeah
[20:55] <pLr> kuntau: open a shell run alsamixer
[20:55] <Guest54152> ocean5, y
[20:55] <ziggy_> telephone: as long as you don't use power-gulching processes (3d rendering, 3d games, HD video playback, etc.) you should be OK
[20:55] <pLr> telephone: use powertop..
[20:55] <kuntau> i did.. but then?
[20:55] <craigbass1976> vlt, I already have the newest version, copied my old smb.conf over, and no love.  I do remember windows having trouble "checking again" for new servers though... That could be the trouble
[20:55] <kuntau> i tick headphone and nothing
[20:56] <r> hello. i installed the latest adobe-flashplugin and fixed the links but now it turns out to be silent. it does not play sound. how can i fix this? why doesn't adobe fix this? since the problem seems to be around since version 9..
[20:56] <Guest54152> oCean_, y
[20:56] <pLr> kuntau: use the arrow keys.. or run man alsamixer
[20:56] <vlt> craigbass1976: What's the problem?
[20:56] <telephone> I actually have a older (9.?) installation CD. Can I use this to install the newest version?
[20:56] <oCean_> Guest54152: Are you able to make complete sentences?
[20:56] <Guest54152> oCean_, yeah u?
[20:57] <telephone> Or do I have to download one of "desktop", "notebook"?
[20:57] <antonpiatek> I want to extract a single file from a source package - anyone know a good way to do this (is it possible without unpacking the whole source?)
[20:57] <craigbass1976> vlt, doesn't show up fo rthe windows boxes.  It doesn't show up even in "view workgroup computers"
[20:57] <r> no sound after adobe flash upgrade - how to fix this?

[20:58] <SlidingHorn> r: what browser are you using?  you had sound before this "upgrade"?  what version did you upgrade from/to?
[20:58] <magnetron> !ask | ready2scream
[20:59] <vlt> craigbass1976: Ok, it's running and listening
[20:59] <Guest54152> ready2scream, sure
[20:59] <dag> ?
[20:59] <r> SlidingHorn: had the flash 9 from the repo on hardy. upgraded to the latest stable from adobe. had fine sound before.
[20:59] <ready2scream> thank you> i wasn't sure if this was the correct chat room, etc.
[20:59] <craigbass1976> vlt, I just have to wait for XP to dummy up then?
[20:59] <ziggy_> telephone: you can install 9.x and upgrade from that, but you'll be downloading a couple of GBs I imagine
[20:59] <vlt> craigbass1976: What error message do you get when you connect to "//<yourip>/"?
[21:00] <craigbass1976> vlt, in what, explorer?\
[21:00] <ready2scream> how can I view what my samba account & pwd is on the ubuntu srvr, i..e what is the command?
[21:00] <vlt> craigbass1976: In your client, yes.
[21:00] <r> SlidingHorn: i fixed the update-alternative links to the plugins.. flash works.. plays videos and so on. but no sound.
[21:01] <alan__> oi
[21:01] <JPP> ready2scream, I dont think you can view stored samba passwords as they are encoded

[21:02] <SlidingHorn> r: are you using chrome?  I had this problem with chrome, and was fixed by switching to chromium --  dont know how relevant that may be to you
[21:02] <vlt> !anyone | late
[21:02] <craigbass1976> vlt, keeps firing up firefox
[21:02] <Guest54152> if you need ubuntu help let me know
[21:02] <miazgator> I really like gnome desktop but KDE is superior to it in flashplayer handling, because gnome has some bug, anybody experiencing that as well?
[21:03] <r> SlidingHorn: not very. firefox. well, is chromium worth a try? who maintains it and isn't there a way to fix this with some simple tweaks?
[21:03] <SlidingHorn> miazgator: no clue what bug you're talking about...I haven't seen this in my experience or in anything I've read -- where are you getting this information?
[21:03] <late> so i have dell m4400 and i installed ubuntu and im dualbooting it with win 7
[21:03] <vlt> craigbass1976: Try "\\192.168....\" instead (backslash instead of forward, assuming you have a 192.168.* IP address)
[21:03] <simar> hi
[21:04] <late> and i have one very annoying problem that sometimes i boot in ubuntu, ubuntu doesnt recognize wifi card..
[21:04] <craigbass1976> vlt, gah... forgot about that / \
[21:04] <simar> simar: hi
[21:04] <late> then i need to boot to win 7
[21:04] <late> and again back to ubuntu to get it work..
[21:04] <miazgator> SlidingHorn: In Kubuntu my flashplayer behaves perfectly smooth on fullscreen and when scrolling pages with flash contents what my Ubuntu installation doesn't and never was doing good

[21:05] <dotnetted> hey all - I've just botched my MySQL-Server-5.1 installation and can't seem to get the package to remove fully so that I can start again from scratch - every way I try to remove the package results in the process hanging - "dpkg -r mysql-server-5.1", "apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1" and via the GUI - I've tried purging with no luck
[21:05] <miazgator> SlidingHorn: and that is on many computers, not only mine

[21:06] <r> no sound with flash 10. who knows a remedy? it's not pulseaudio!
[21:06] <ShapeShifter499> I was looking around my dell inspiron 2500 laptop and found it has a ActionTec PCI modem...................I'll never use it because I'm turning this computer into a server, but is there something I can buy and plug into that slot to make my computer faster?
[21:07] <belisarius> pLr: I still have no sound.
[21:07] <SlidingHorn> r: I'm @ work so I can't really dig deep into this, but just googling the terms: ubuntu flash 10 no sound -- returned quite a few possibly promising results
[21:08] <ziggy_> r: have you tried upgrading flash to 10.1 (be advised that it is--last time I checked-- was in BETA)
[21:08] <r> SlidingHorn: but most just are about version 9 or about removing pulseaudio. none of which work for me. i don't have pulseaudio. just alsa.
[21:08] <miazgator> ziggy_: I've just downloaded a stable release from the adobe website
[21:08] <ziggy_> r: are you running 64-bit or 32-bit ubuntu?
[21:08] <miazgator> ziggy_: I mean yesterday
[21:09] <r> ziggy_: could give it a try.
[21:09] <SlidingHorn> miazgator: didn't mean to insinuate that you were incorrect - just wanted to get some background on what you were saying :)
[21:09] <r> ziggy_: 32. there is no 64-bit flash afaik
[21:09] <r> adobe: you are listening? :)
[21:09] <pLr> belisarius: many ppl have your sound card you should check the link i put..
[21:09] <vlt> ShapeShifter499: There are entire computers completely running on a single PCI card ;-)
[21:09] <pLr> belisarius:  http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=sb+audigy+2+ubuntu
[21:10] <ShapeShifter499> vlt: lol really??
[21:10] <vlt> ShapeShifter499: Yes :)
[21:10] <ziggy_> r: I'm running 64-bit, and had the 32-bit flash player. Experienced memory leaks and loss of sound. All that went away when I tried using the 64-bit BETA release of flash 10.1
[21:10] <Ginbun2> I installed kubuntu-desktop. how do I change kdm back to gdm?
[21:11] <ShapeShifter499> vlt: can u point me to a link?
[21:12] <belisarius> I installed alsamixergui and it shows me the audio chip of my ATi 5870 as sound card.
[21:12] <ziggy_> r: As you're running on 32-bit, i would suggest ensuring that you have the latest release. AFAIK, the repositories don't usually carry the latest releases.
[21:12] <vlt> ShapeShifter499: I'd have to google too. And it's nothing you really want for your old machine. It's cheaper to just buy a decent new machine.
[21:12] <tic^> r: i'm running the 64-bit flash. no problems for me with it.
[21:13] <ziggy_> r: you may need to manually install from a package
[21:13] <belisarius> I have looked through the google records, but I don't seem to find a solution. pLr
[21:13] <pLr> belisarius: dont use the gui
[21:13] <pLr> belisarius: i had that issue already..
[21:13] <ShapeShifter499> vlt: cheepo server =D
[21:13] <pLr> belisarius: you have to enable the digital output jack
[21:13] <late> anyone can help me with my wifi peroblem?
[21:13] <ShapeShifter499> vlt: I saved this computer from going to e-waste
[21:14] <pLr> belisarius: but in 10.04 they changed the sound controls u can do it w/ alsamixer
[21:14] <hopeless8009> Im trying to back up my DVD collection i want to make images of the DVDs can anyone point me to a program i can use
[21:14] <tic^> !wifi | late
[21:14] <pLr> belisarius: let me see if there's something stable out now.. i use intel-hda now
[21:15] <vlt> ShapeShifter499: There's only one better thing than much, much RAM for fast computers:
[21:15] <pLr> belisarius: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/sound-blaster-audigy-2-zs-337513/
[21:15] <vlt> ShapeShifter499: Even more RAM
[21:15] <r> ziggy_, tic^ the file i get following the links to the beta are not different to the file i already have. either they just don't have a 10.1 or they already put that out. just see solaris, android and windows links besides those.
[21:16] <pLr> belisarius: read and try it all
[21:16] <late> ty
[21:16] <hiexpo> last night i thpught i would be smart and installed wicd network manager well of coarse it  removes network manager gnome what a mistake that was  wicd is a bucket of bolts and i had to come to another machine and find a deb package to reinstall network manager
[21:16] <vlt> hopeless8009: dvdbackup
[21:16] <craigbass1976> vlt, I am able to see it via //192....   It just doesn't show up yet in the list on network neighborhood
[21:17] <craigbass1976> I mean \\192...
[21:17] <tic^> r: adobe links for 64-bit flash?
[21:17] <hiexpo> o hand everyone getdeb karmic is back up

[21:17] <didiermah> !french
[21:18] <belisarius> thx pLr
[21:18] <pLr> belisarius: np
[21:18] <r> tic^: and what does adobe mean by.. 'GM'?
[21:18] <vlt> craigbass1976: I'm afraid I can't help much there. Check any firewalls and look for samba options containing "*browse*" ... good luck
[21:18] <pLr> belisarius: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sb+audigy+2+ubuntu+no+sound
[21:18] <tic^> r: i downloaded 64-bit flash from adobe, it is in beta. but i have not had any problems with it. (at least me anyway. can't speak for everyone that uses it).
[21:18] <pLr> belisarius: easy google :D
[21:18] <ziggy_> r: you went here, right? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[21:18] <r> http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
[21:18] <ALBASL> guys .. how can i install a new login screen
[21:19] <hopeless8009> vlt: what is that
[21:19] <vlt> hopeless8009: The tool you were looking for. Just install it from your packet manager
[21:19] <craigbass1976> vlt, and take a hammer to the windows boxes?
[21:19] <ziggy_> r: I concur with tic^
[21:19] <Ginbun2> I installed kubuntu-desktop. how do I change kdm back to gdm?
[21:19] <hopeless8009> i installed it with terminal but its real small is that right
[21:20] <tic^> r: i dont remeber the exact link i used. i googled 64bit adobe flash and downloaded it.
[21:20] <r> ziggy_: but that just links to the url you posted
[21:20] <vlt> hopeless8009: Yes
[21:20] <Guest54152> ubuntu help just let me know
[21:20] <hopeless8009> i dont see it in my list of programs
[21:20] <r> tic^: they don't provide the link. can't find it.
[21:20] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: hi
[21:20] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: thats easy to do
[21:20] <vlt> hopeless8009: You run it from cmd line
[21:20] <hopeless8009> vlt: is it an add on to a program i alrady have
[21:20] <tic^> r: hangon, let me try.
[21:21] <hopeless8009> oh ok
[21:21] <ziggy_> r: Umm, I didn't post a link prior to this one: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[21:21] <Ginbun2> 1 - 1 :+
[21:21] <Guest54152> there is no flash 64 anymore
[21:21] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: and theres choice,  KDM :)  LXDM, XDM, and Slim
[21:21] <timposey> Is there a program with ubuntu that could be used by a human translator which would pull up a pdf or jpg document on the left side of the screen and allow a person to type the translation into a window on the right side or something similar.
[21:21] <ShapeShifter499> vlt: I wonder if I can use this..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-RAM
[21:21] <ALBASL> sebsebseb: hi ...
[21:21] <Guest54152> guys there is no flash 64
[21:21] <ALBASL> ????
[21:22] <r> ziggy_, tic^ how will i know if the 64bit version would run at all? which arch is sufficient?
[21:22] <Vkec> I still need help in connecting a windows computer to a linux printer
[21:22] <Guest54152> SEE THIS LINK http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/11/64_bit_flash_for_linux_dead/
[21:22] <Guest54152> r, there is no flash 64
[21:22] <tic^> r: try here--> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[21:22] <vlt> hopeless8009: For some DVDs you _might_ need a "lib" for the "dvd" to parse the "css" structure.
[21:22] <Guest54152> r, SEE THIS LINK http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/11/64_bit_flash_for_linux_dead/
[21:22] <ALBASL> sebsebseb: i just downloaded a login screen from gnome site and i dont know how to install it
[21:22] <pLr> Guest54152: there is
[21:23] <r> Guest54152: i know
[21:23] <odt> topic
[21:23] <celeritas> just finished setting up hamachi for synergy on ubuntu and mac
[21:23] <pLr> http://blog.mattrudge.net/2010/05/03/installing-flash-player-on-ubuntu-10-04-64-bit/

[21:23] <oCean_> Guest54152: stop apmming
[21:23] <ziggy_> r: are you running ubuntu 64-bit or 32-bit?
[21:23] <Guest54152> oCean_, no u
[21:23] <tic^> r: thats the one i downloaded, make sure you click on the link for PC'S
[21:23] <r> 32-bit
[21:23] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: KDM is good,  Slim is ok, Debian theme by default if installing from Ubuntu repo, since Ubuntu is based on Debian,  its very customizable, easy to theme, some themes on website, could even make your own
[21:23] <pLr> haahahhahahhahahahahahahah
[21:23] <Vkec> ugh
[21:23] <Daekdroom> Guest54152, there still is a 64bit version, it only won't get updated.
[21:23] <tic^> r: 64bit version 10.1 beta
[21:23] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: what you downloaded was probably for the old log in screen that Ubuntu was using before 9.10, GDM
[21:23] <ALBASL> sebsebseb: its GDM.tar.gz
[21:23] <hopeless8009> vlt would it be possable for you to help me with the command to copy the DVD to image
[21:23] <pLr> Guest54152:  see the link i put?
[21:23] <ALBASL> yes
[21:23] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: as of 9.10 it uses GDM 2 instead, which sucks,  you can change the background on it with some program, and thats about it
[21:24] <AnxiousNut> Is there a way to autohide an app? lol, i know, but would be awesome!!!
[21:24] <r> right now i wish the world would already be flash free and html5 and just me, the browser and a fine codec..
[21:24] <vlt> hopeless8009: Have you even tried to run the command?
[21:24] <ziggy_> tic^: r is running 32-bit, he won't be able to run 64-bit software
[21:24] <pLr> html5 is a joke r u for real lol
[21:24] <Guest54152> pLr, that is old link
[21:24] <hopeless8009> vlt: not yet now but im better at it if someone shows me
[21:24] <Guest54152> hahahahahaha
[21:24] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: the old GDM is actsaully in the repo, but its not as simple as just installing and using, so may as well go with one of the alternatives I mentioned :)
[21:25]  * Vkec shoots himself in the face
[21:25] <galerien> r if there was only one thing out there, that would be a disaster
[21:25] <ALBASL> sebsebseb: aha... so KDM is better
[21:25] <Serraphyn> Can someone help me, ubuntu wont see wide screen resolution on my widescreen monitor, It does 1440x900 and I'm stuck 1360x768
[21:25] <pLr> Guest54152: it was posted this week.. its a very new link http://blog.mattrudge.net/2010/05/03/installing-flash-player-on-ubuntu-10-04-64-bit/
[21:25] <sebsebseb> pLr: HTML 5 is good
[21:25] <pLr> do u understand?
[21:25] <r> galerien: which one are you refering to?
[21:25] <tic^> ziggy_: oh, sorry, through he needed 64bit.
[21:25] <LjL> !offtopic
[21:25] <r> galerien: of course there must be some free codecs also!
[21:25] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: which version you on 10.04?
[21:25] <ziggy_> r: so can you lookup the version number of the flash player that is installed on your computer?
[21:25] <pLr> sebsebseb: i know i was just looking for ppl i wanna talk to
[21:26] <pLr> lol
[21:26] <r> ziggy_: command?
[21:26] <sebsebseb> pLr: #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:26] <ALBASL> sebsebseb: yes 10.04
[21:26] <pLr> arr
[21:26] <LjL> pLr: this is not a social channel, please try #ubuntu-offtopic instead
[21:26] <axisys> how do I make a deb pkg for ubuntu ? is there a quick start quide somewhere ?
[21:26] <ShapeShifter499> vlt: could i-ram be modded to plug into my comp?
[21:26] <LjL> !packaging > axisys    (axisys, see the private message from ubottu)
[21:26] <pLr> LjL: im really not new here..
[21:26] <webPragmatist> hrm
[21:26] <pLr> sebsebseb: didnt know about that 1 thx
[21:26] <r> ziggy_: 10.1 r53 :)
[21:26] <LjL> pLr: ok, then you should already know about the rules.
[21:26] <Guest54152> Daekdroom, the flash 64 is dead
[21:27] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: with 9.10 KDM gets this uhmm  blue circle type theme by default, with 10.04, it gets a even nicer theme by default
[21:27] <galerien> r : anything... If there was only linux, or ubuntu, yes, I'd like that, but without mac and windows, no one would like to overcome the other with new products and creativity and...
[21:27] <Daekdroom> Guest54152, it's just not getting updated for now. It doesn't mean one can't use it.,
[21:27] <r> ziggy_: so the 10.1 version is already the normal version they release for linux. and it does NOT work for me
[21:27] <LjL> Daekdroom: actually, it doesn't seem like i can download it at all.
[21:27] <axisys> LjL: thanks
[21:27] <LjL> Daekdroom: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html
[21:27] <pLr> LjL: k well continue w/ the ppl im dropping now
[21:27] <Guest54152> Daekdroom, HA!
[21:27] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: as for themeing I am not sure how to do that, but I guess it can be done.  Slim is worth finding out about really as well on its website.
[21:28] <odt> my ubuntu wubi installation doesn't boot anymore. i'm running a live cd at the moment, did try to fsck the root.disk but still get a kernel panic when trying to boot.
[21:28] <r> who needs flash on linux 64-bits..
[21:28] <Daekdroom> Guest54152, it doesn't mean you can't get it from, let's say, ubuntu's repo
[21:28] <ziggy_> r: hmmm, I remember when I first installed/updated flash it was going bonkers. It all cleared up after a restart.
[21:28] <Vkec> I still need help in connecting a windows computer to a linux printer
[21:28] <r> you gotta love adobe
[21:28] <LjL> Daekdroom: is it there?
[21:28] <Guest54152> nah
[21:28] <Daekdroom> LjL, maybe. Haven't checked.
[21:28] <Vkec> can anyone help
[21:28] <LjL> Daekdroom: i don't think it's legal to redistribute it.
[21:28] <sebsebseb> !cups | Vkec
[21:28] <r> ziggy_: so you are suggesting that it may magically just work after a reboot?
[21:28] <r> ziggy_: that would be a nice feature..
[21:29] <ziggy_> r: I'm only recounting my own personal experience (^_^)
[21:29] <Vkec> Oh yeah i tried what it said and it didn't work Windows still couldn't find the printer
[21:29] <r> ziggy_: :)
[21:29] <m4rku5> hey, I cant seem to install globus - I have the same error as stated in this post - http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.clustering.globus.user/5332, - when trying to intall Compress::Zlib on 10.04 server with cpan i get an error that tests failed and it wont run make install
[21:29] <ALBASL> sebsebseb: aha .... thanks bro
[21:30] <r> well, thanks for now. we know more about flash.. but not yet how to fix such little issues..
[21:30] <sebsebseb> ALBASL: I guess #kubuntu  can help you theme KDM, if you end up, doing that
[21:30] <LaMuerteBlanca> sth nice to see?
[21:30] <Vkec> :(
[21:31] <ziggy_> r: When did the problem start?
[21:31] <JackStoner> hey need help with kde4, everytime i launch vlc, it opens another weird window with no description, any ideas??
[21:31] <galerien> r : no offence, but some people are macfan, considering that anything without an apple on it is crap, and you are like a freefan, or call it what you want...
[21:31] <LjL> !offtopic
[21:31] <galerien> LjL : ok, sorry, I'm not saying anything else about this
[21:31] <odt> any ideas what to try to fix a borken wubi install, besides fsck the disk file?
[21:32] <sebsebseb> odt: have you got data in there?
[21:32] <odt> sebsebseb: yeah, and I have mounted it fine using the livecd
[21:32] <sebsebseb> odt: mounted it fine using the Live CD?
[21:32] <connermcd> lol
[21:32] <odt> well, can't be the disk images fault
[21:32] <sebsebseb> odt: Wubi is not a real partition, so  as far as I know you can't just access the data using Live CD
[21:33] <odt> sebsebseb: ofcourse, via loopback mount
[21:33] <hagabaka> where is LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH set?
[21:33] <sebsebseb> odt: ah ok
[21:33] <odt> first mount win partition, then the file
[21:33] <r> galerien: and what are you then?
[21:33] <sebsebseb> odt: well why not, get data,  and then do a real partition instead?  better in the long run and that
[21:33] <LjL> r: please, let's drop this
[21:33] <galerien> r lets take that in /query, ok?
[21:33] <r> ziggy_: just after i switched to the 10.1
[21:33] <odt> sebsebseb: might just need to do that now ;)
[21:33] <Njh> is there any room that has programming help?
[21:33] <r> galerien: go ahead

[21:34] <r> LjL: drop what?
[21:34] <Njh> LjL: thanks
[21:34] <LjL> r: the personal issues with galerien, it's best to take them to a query if you have to
[21:35] <galerien> LjL that's what we are doing
[21:35] <LjL> galerien: cool
[21:35] <r> LjL: why, is he known for such things? i have no issues. just curious what he wants to tell
[21:36] <LjL> r: not known to me, at any rate - it's just that this channel should be kept about Ubuntu support only
[21:36] <guntbert> r the whole conversation is off topic for a support channel
[21:36] <h00k> Please move on :) Thanks.
[21:36] <alejandro> hi
[21:37] <Adola> Are SSD's plug-n-play on ubuntu?
[21:37] <h00k> Adola: yep
[21:37] <wad> Has anyone been able to get glipper running in 10.04?
[21:37] <wad> I've installed it, but the usage documentation doesn't make sense. I think it's out-dated.
[21:37] <r> well, the software that makes up ubuntu is quite the right topic for this channel.
[21:38] <Adola> h00k: Sweet, thanks.  I was worried about drivers.
[21:38] <alejandro> Anybody with experience on toshiba laptops with alphanumeric keyboards?
[21:38] <Robert_Zenz> I've closed the lid of my Laptop (Nexoc S621II) and now my Intel Wireless stopped working. iwconfig recognizes it, iwlist scan shows no results and dmesg tells me that the link is not ready.
[21:38] <anothernewbie> Im new so can anyone name a website for quickly hosting terminal logs?
[21:38] <vlt> wad: I just tried. The closest I got was `/usr/lib/glipper/glipiper -w`
[21:38] <Robert_Zenz> I've already rebooted, yes.
[21:38] <Robert_Zenz> anothernewbie, pastebin.com
[21:38] <SlidingHorn> !anyone | adola
[21:38] <vlt> wad: glipper, even
[21:38] <anothernewbie> thank you google did not help much
[21:38] <wad> anothernewbie, I'll try that.
[21:39] <h00k> r: This is a Support channel, support is on-topic, anything else is not.
[21:39] <r> h00k: glad you told me
[21:39] <belisarius> Ok, I have sound now, but when I turn it too loud I hear horrible scratching.
[21:39] <h00k> r: You're welcome.  Move on.  Thanks.
[21:39] <craigbass1976> belisarius, that's your eardrums.  Or bunk speakers perhaps
[21:39] <Adola> SlidingHorn: ....Uh, Ok, that's super relevant to what I asked.
[21:40] <hopeless8009> vlt: i tryed to run the command and it returned "a shit load of errors and i need Css

[21:40] <Adola> SlidingHorn: Ok, sorry for being so rash.
[21:40] <craigbass1976> belisarius, what happens when you plug the speakers directly into an mp3 player or some such piece of equipment?
[21:40] <belisarius> Nothing, they sound right.
[21:40] <craigbass1976> hrmmm....
[21:41] <belisarius> no scratching or else
[21:41] <odt> hmm, looks like I cannot use LPVM from the livecd to transfer the wubi install to a free disk
[21:41] <ziggy_> r: you may find something useful here -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/543035
[21:41] <craigbass1976> belisarius, is the scratching like something is clipping (overdriven)?
[21:41] <sebsebseb> odt: uhmm there is a program not sure what it is called, that will let you convert a Wubi install into a partition, if it works
[21:41] <sebsebseb> odt: however probably better to just install from Live CD :)
[21:42] <belisarius> Yes, and I hear a buzzing
[21:42] <belisarius> and I hear myself Oo
[21:43] <justindisgustin> I've been running Lucid NBE for a couple of months now, and suddenly I'm having issues loading gnome.  I get the message "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
[21:43] <qgel> Hi, am i correct to assume that the purpose of the linux-headers is so i can build modules without the full linux-source?
[21:43] <craigbass1976> belisarius, you hear yourself?
[21:43] <justindisgustin> I searched using lynx on the forums but couldn't find anything that fixed my problem.
[21:44] <_pg_> are there tools that run on ubuntu but can be used to remove malware from windows? for like a live cd/usb?
[21:44] <belisarius> Yeah, turned down the microphone in alsamixer and now it works
[21:44] <guntbert> !nickspam > _Pirate_Y00_H00_
[21:45] <micael> anyone knows if there is a program that i can see both music and vids like itunes on my server
[21:45] <craigbass1976> belisarius, I wonder if things were lopping back somehow and causing the overdrive.  I'm surprised you didn't get any kind of feedback if the crosstalk was that bad.

[21:46] <craigbass1976> _pg_, there's an AV (clamav maybe?) but I don't remember the detection rate being that high.  My favorite windows cleaner tool is the ubuntu installer.
[21:46] <JackStoner> micael, try banshee
[21:46] <belisarius> ok, now I hear that scratching again
[21:46] <justindisgustin> anyone have any ideas?
[21:46] <SlidingHorn> !itunes | micael
[21:47] <vlt> _pg_: There was a knoppix based distro called knoppicilin (or similar) from a German magazine. Google could help
[21:47] <galerien> and if you really, but like really, need Itunes, I guess you can run it on wine
[21:47] <micael> JackStoner have tried it but is not working it is onlu seeing my mp3
[21:47] <_pg_> sweet thanks chaps
[21:47] <JackStoner> micael, vlc??
[21:47] <JackStoner> :D
[21:48] <SlidingHorn> galerien micael: there are a couple older versions that work partially in wine, but you won't be able to connect to the itunes store
[21:48] <micael> jackstoner thanks but i am looking for a mix betwine acdsee and itunes
[21:49] <slavik0329> hey, how can i make a popup notification pop up in X from command line?
[21:49] <galerien> SlidingHorn: I've used it like 2 or 3 years ago for an Ipod... i don't know the current situation ;)
[21:49] <justindisgustin> anyone know what to do if I get "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
[21:49] <JackStoner> micael, yw, but i think banshee should be pretty useful...have u tried getting the version from their website?
[21:49] <micael> SlidingHorn i dont want itunes i want a program like that
[21:49] <SlidingHorn> micael: you can check the status of how things work with wine in its appDB - anything below a silver rating basically will mean you're not going to be able to work with it: http://appdb.winehq.org
[21:49] <SlidingHorn> micael: then I would recommend banshee
[21:49] <vlt> slavik0329: For KDE there's knotify
[21:50] <slavik0329> vlt: and gnome?
[21:50] <micael> thanks i will try banshee a bit more and try to get it to see my videos too
[21:50] <JackStoner> slavik0329, libnotify ...i think
[21:51] <JackStoner> micael, goodluck
[21:51] <kthomas_vh> what's the channel for dns/cname questions ?
[21:51] <ikonia> kthomas_vh: #dns

[21:52] <kthomas_vh> :) thanks, duh.
[21:52] <pregier> How does update-initramfs "know" what kernels match its "-k all" option?
[21:53] <belisarius> That damn audio thing is driving me crazy
[21:53] <r> ziggy_: thanks to you and all the help. i will try some things and eventually find a solution. or adobe fixes this.. eventually.
[21:55] <ChrisSOcha> Hello. Hoping some nice person here can help me :) Having problems with my integrated webcam in my Dell laptop, when i try use it it dosent work (Camorama, for example, says: Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0) Please check connection). Anyone have any ideas? :)
[21:55] <Benq> Hello, can anyone help? I had a Nvidia Video card, but it stopped working so i had to remove it ... after that, i'm not able to log in ubuntu using the integrated Intel graphics card, what must i do to fix this please, thanks! I'm on a live cd atm
[21:56] <sebsebseb> Benq: Did you install the propritary Nivida driver?
[21:56] <alejandro> Need help with Ubuntu 10, Toshiba L505D, ACPI issues
[21:56] <mneptok> Benq: did you install the proprietary nVidia drivers? if so, go and uninstall them.
[21:56] <sebsebseb> Benq: if so well maybe its there still, and that isn't for Intel
[21:56] <Benq> how? I'm only able to c the grub, after that all is black
[21:56] <SlidingHorn> alejandro: just go ahead with your question.  if someone knows a solution they'll answer :)
[21:56] <vlt> ChrisSOcha: Does `lsusb` list the camera?
[21:57] <Benq> and I had the nvidia drivers automatically installed in ubuntu 10.4
[21:57] <alejandro> I was installing Ubuntu but it didnt boot, so I edit grub and added ACPI=HT . Q: Is that optimum for performance and funcionability ?
[21:58] <Epik> Im having trouble getting my network card to use 100mbit full duplex. My network card is ( 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) ) and im using e1000e drivers. I've downloaded the latest driver from Intel, and tried setting my link speed with ethtool. None of this has provided any success. Anyone have any suggestions on how i can achieve at least 100mbit ?
[21:58] <ikonia> have you tried foring it with ethtool or mii-tool
[21:59] <justindisgustin> anyone know what to do if I get "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)  The desktop boots but somehow the panel looks oddly configured and the ubuntu icon (normally grey) is a [rather cool] orange circle with white icon
[21:59] <justindisgustin> also no mouse functionality
[21:59] <Epik> when i change the settings with ethtool, it simply drops the connection until i revert back to 10mbit
[21:59] <ikonia> Epik: sounds like your switch is a problem then more than your network card
[22:00] <sebsebseb> Benq: in the recovery mode,  which there should be an option for on Grub,  I belive there is still something for fixing xorg,  but I don't know if that would actsaully help.
[22:00] <Epik> ikonia, there is no issue with the switch. I have anther PC running plugged into the same switch, using the same NIC on however running windows and it works fine
[22:00] <ikonia> Epik: that doesn't mean there is no issue with the switch
[22:01] <Epik> ikonia, lets assume the issue is not with the switch
[22:01] <Epik> what else could i try?
[22:01] <ikonia> Epik: why ? why assume that
[22:01] <Benq> hmm ya, i'm googling how to uninstall nvidia drivers from a terminal, if that doesnt work i'll try that. thanks sebsebseb :)
[22:01] <ikonia> Epik: the card is a sound and well supported card, you have tried to force it to correct speed and the switch drops it off the network, so therefore either a.) you are not configuring it right b.) the switch does not want to run at that speed on that port
[22:02] <sebsebseb> Benq: Ok good luck :)
[22:02] <Epik> Well, because its a Cisco 3750 that i configured myself and i can see that under show run interface that its setup to 1) auto negotiate and 2) support jumbo frames and 3) allow for 10/100/1000
[22:02] <ikonia> Epik: setting auto neg and then you forcing the card at your end won't work
[22:02] <ikonia> Epik: you need to force it at the switch end too for that port
[22:03] <Epik> i will disable auto negotiate
[22:03] <kmels> What is the default value for /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager?
[22:03] <Kyle__> Hi.  Is there a way to not list any users on the login screen?
[22:03] <Slart> kmels: it says "metacity" on my system
[22:04] <sebsebseb> Kyle__: with GDM 2,  I am not sure, but I know that other screens don't just do that
[22:04] <kmels> Slart: cheers, I was testing xmonad yesterday and switched back to metacity but Compiz no longer listens to the keyboard shortcuts.
[22:05] <sebsebseb> Kyle__: personally I like KDM with multiple accounts, for various reaons,  including how it will have the user name of the account that was last logged in showing, then just put in password, and log in
[22:06] <Slart> kmels: ehm.. ok.. and setting that fixes it?
[22:07] <kmels> Slart: no. I'll re install the packages I guess.
[22:07] <SlidingHorn> kyle__: it's been known to have problems with any distro outside of Fedora, but LXDM (display manager for LXDE) doesn't list the users...just has a text input box for you to enter the user name.  Again...it's known to not work well with ubuntu /disclaimer
[22:07] <pregier> iirc compiz keyboard shortcuts depend on how it's launched
[22:07] <sebsebseb> SlidingHorn: LXDM is not known to work well with Ubuntu?
[22:07] <SlidingHorn> kyle__: last I read (which was a while ago, admittedly)
[22:07] <SlidingHorn> oops  that was supposed to go to sebseb
[22:08] <sebsebseb> Kyle__: LXDM is quite nice as well, but by default it will be a Lubuntu screen, saying Lubuntu on it.
[22:08] <mneptok> SlidingHorn: errr ... i think the Lubuntu team would disagree with you.
[22:08] <DJ_HaMsTa> I used to work with Single Click and UltraVNC listening application to troubleshoot other machines, UltraVNC is only for windows and now im in ubuntu. Is there a similar application that can listen for VNC requests in ubuntu ?
[22:08]  * sebsebseb agrees with mneptok
[22:08] <ziggy_> r: no problem
[22:08] <r> :)
[22:09] <SlidingHorn> mneptok: like I said...it may not be the case anymore -- it was a while ago when I read that
[22:09] <belisarius> I give it up, I have enough of this. I can do what I want and the audio output isn't working properly. On youtube I even get no output at all or rather from the browser. If something so simple like an audio output is that hard to set up I use that HDD for backup purpose and not for linux, because who knows how hard it will become to get the rest set up right. I'm better with windows than...
[22:09] <belisarius> ...with linux, so bye bye.
[22:10] <sebsebseb> Kyle__: Slim won't list the users by default, and maybe if you set it up yourself to, it could.   Get it from Ubuntu repo and you get Debian theme, since Ubuntu is based on Debian.   Rather easy to change to other themes, some rather nice ones on the website,  and its very customizable doesn't seem to take much for someone to make their own theme.
[22:10] <Kyle__> OK.  Thank you.

[22:14] <John1> Hello. I wonder if there are any programs for Ubuntu to share folders /  drives between Ubuntu and Win 7 in the home network?
[22:14] <SlidingHorn> ready2scream: that command will show you the files within the directory you're viewing along with the permissions assigned to them
[22:14] <neur0m4ncer> Hi guys - anyone know why I can't navigate to xbmc.org on any browser I try? (10.04)
[22:14] <sebsebseb> !samba | John1
[22:15] <pregier> Can anyone confirm whether "update-initramfs -c -k all" is self-contradictory, since "-k all" seems to only apply to initrd's which already exist?

[22:17] <sebsebseb> neur0m4ncer: They got kicked out of the channel
[22:18] <neur0m4ncer> I know - I was being fascetious.
[22:18] <neur0m4ncer> *sp?
[22:18] <SlidingHorn> ok folks...heading home -- have a good night and good luck everyone :-)
[22:18] <sapersi> lo siento, my apologies
[22:19] <xxx> is there a program that searches for a given string in a file?
[22:19] <neur0m4ncer> But seruously though - if anyone knows why I'm unable to navigate to certain sites in 10.04, I'd love the help.
[22:19] <graviton_> A program?
[22:19] <graviton_> Why not a command?
[22:19] <sapersi> i could vavigate there and it was so random it was mad suspect

[22:19] <WJW> xxx: man grep
[22:19] <SlidingHorn> xxx: grep I believe?
[22:19] <sebsebseb> neur0m4ncer:  maybe a problem with your ISP's DNS
[22:19] <sara_> qualcuno parla italiano?
[22:19] <rottenrec> maybe your mom installed netnanny on your box

[22:19] <sebsebseb> !it | sara_
[22:20] <neur0m4ncer> Never thought of that one sebsebseb... I gues that would be a case of getting on the phone then?
[22:20] <sebsebseb> neur0m4ncer: how long has it happended?
[22:20] <sebsebseb> neur0m4ncer: also have you tried another computer?
[22:20] <neur0m4ncer> About four days.
[22:20] <sara_> ok thank a lot,ubutnt.i so?
[22:20] <neur0m4ncer> I don't have another to hand, but I'll try to borrow a lappy and try tomorrow.
[22:21] <sebsebseb> neur0m4ncer: can change DNS to another one, but  useually ISP's DNS's are fine
[22:21] <monokrome> Hey. I just updated Ubuntu and now my mouse is oddly sensitive
[22:21] <neur0m4ncer> I tried... was it openDNS (?) last year, but it was slower than the ISP.
[22:21] <monokrome> If I put my hand on it, the mouse just wanders off to the left
[22:21] <eliasson_> Hi. Is there a application which enable "Windows 7 dock"-feature. E.g. draging a window to the right top corner, and it will be splitted.
[22:21] <Epik> ikonia, I've verified that the port is correctly functioning by directly connecting a laptop running an inferior OS and performing a speed test. The results were allowing for 100mbit. The problem has been defined as localized to my workstation. The command im using to set my linkspeed it "sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" do you have any further solutions that could help identify the issue?
[22:21] <sebsebseb> monokrome: a touch pad or?
[22:22] <monokrome> It doesn't do this in Windows, and didn't do it before the update
[22:22] <monokrome> No, it's a mouse.
[22:22] <sebsebseb> !mouse
[22:22] <sebsebseb> ok thats useless
[22:22] <sapersi> what is the best Notepad++ alternative for ubuntu?
[22:22] <monokrome> very
[22:22] <ikonia> Epik: is autoneg on that switch port
[22:22] <Epik> ikonia, i've tried with it both on and off
[22:22] <sebsebseb> monokrome: system > preferences > mouse
[22:22] <Epik> ikonia, currently it is back on
[22:23] <neur0m4ncer> sebsebseb: I guess trying an alternate DNS would at least rule that out as a cause though - thanks for the idea.
[22:23] <ikonia> Epik: disable it you can't have auto neg at one ned
[22:23] <ikonia> end
[22:23] <ikonia> or enable it on both ends
[22:23] <ready2scream> byebye everyone
[22:23] <monokrome> sebsebseb: Maybe if I could click without the mouse wandering :D
[22:23] <sapersi> what is the best Notepad++ alternative for ubuntu?
[22:23] <Epik> ikonia, I have tried both variations and it just wont seem to budge from 10
[22:23] <andreligne> Hello! I have lost the ability to change window focus by clicking its contents on my Ubuntu 10.04. It's really annoying! Anyone know of a setting to change?
[22:23] <sebsebseb> !gedit | sapersi
[22:23] <sebsebseb> !best | sapersi
[22:24] <sebsebseb> sapersi: I think you can even Wine Notepad++
[22:24] <monokrome> turning down accelleration helps, but it doesn't resolve the issue.
[22:24] <ikonia> Epik: I understand that but you've got to keep it consistant. Have you looked at the syslog (while autoneg is on at both ends) to see what happens when the network is brought up
[22:24] <monokrome> It even wanders when I'm not moving it rofl
[22:25] <aethelrick> sapersi: I use Vim, Gedit and Jedit on ubuntu for editing code
[22:25] <iceroot> sapersi: vim and emacs
[22:25] <iceroot> sapersi: if you are talking about "best editors"
[22:25] <sebsebseb> monokrome: ok if you click on system,  you can then navigate the menus using the arrow keys
[22:25] <sebsebseb> monokrome: and then hit enter when you got mouse
[22:25] <Epik> ikonia, I guess i should have been watching the syslogs instead of the GUI notification
[22:26] <Epik> apparently it has been switching :\
[22:26] <ikonia> cool
[22:26] <Epik> thanks for your help
[22:26] <ikonia> there we go then
[22:26] <ikonia> welcome
[22:26] <rottenrec> why does sudo get rid of my pretty colors when i do grep /var/log/* ?
[22:26] <adnyxo> im having some trouble with kubuntu and my nvidia graphics card, i installed the drivers using the bundled utility, but when i rebooted i was greeted with a command line. when attempting to startx, it says there are no displays. can anyone give me some advice?
[22:26] <iceroot> rottenrec: because bashrc from root is taking if using sudo and not your bashrc
[22:26] <Epik> rottenrec,  your profile changes
[22:26] <aethelrick> sapersi: I find JEdit to be best for large projects with a bunch of files open because it's got a load of handy plugins available. I like Vim from the command line for editing config files and I use Gedit for one off edits to scripts etc because it starts faster the Jedit
[22:26] <rottenrec> i see
[22:26] <rottenrec> thanks guys
[22:28] <monokrome> sebsebseb: Yea. Nothing there helps.
[22:29] <sebsebseb> monokrome: uhmm well  I don't think there is a difference between distro for this, but on mine, I got  pointer speed options,  Accerlation and Sensitivity
[22:29] <Roasted> is there a way to tell who is currently connected to your web server?
[22:30] <microlith> Roasted: look at the access logs
[22:30] <sebsebseb> Roasted: website statistics
[22:30] <Roasted> sebsebseb, website stats? where at?
[22:30] <sebsebseb> Roasted: you would have to install some yourself
[22:30] <monokrome> sebsebseb: I have both of those, too. I turn them all down and it still does it.
[22:30] <Roasted> sebsebseb, any you recommend>?
[22:30] <monokrome> It's a software issue because it didn't happen until I updated.
[22:30] <sebsebseb> Roasted: thats a bit off topic, but there are loads of them out there
[22:31] <sebsebseb> monokrome: from 9.10 to 10.04?
[22:31] <Roasted> sebsebseb, I don't really understand how it's off topic considering it's a question directly relating to my Ubuntu desktop. Is there any that you'd recommend?
[22:31] <monokrome> sebsebseb: No, I was already in 10.04 and just ran an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[22:31] <monokrome> Installed this OS 2 days ago
[22:31] <sebsebseb> Roasted: I can't think of any names now, maybe theres one called webstats or something,  Google or something, or uhmm even better  search sf.net and I guess freshmeat.net as well
[22:31] <caac> gtg, peace out
[22:32] <Roasted> sebsebseb, thank you.
[22:32] <Devrethman> Is there a way to make connected drives not show up on the desktop?
[22:32] <sebsebseb> Roasted: ok np
[22:32] <sebsebseb> Roasted: also quite basic or whatever, but
[22:33] <sebsebseb> Roasted: Google Anaylastists or whatever its called
[22:33] <sebsebseb> Roasted: you have the account with them, and then put a bit of code on your webpages, for the stats
[22:33] <Roasted> sebsebseb, never heard of it, but I'll check up on it and see what I can find.
[22:33] <sebsebseb> Roasted: however you can install better stats yourself, on your own web server
[22:33] <Roasted> sebsebseb, I'd just like to see who's connected to my web server. I don't host much of anything off of it besides dumping stuff there and linking friends tod ownload it (sort of like ftp, but not)
[22:33] <sebsebseb> Roasted: well as long as you got PHP and MySQL and such I guess
[22:34] <sebsebseb> Roasted: there are access logs as someone suggested
[22:34] <Ginbun2> what is the command to launch gnome mixer?
[22:34] <Roasted> sebsebseb, yeah, I'm scanning the log directory now. I was just curious if there was a web based solution, like I log in to my web server via firefox and see connected clients and if theyre downloading a larger package, how fast it's going, etc.
[22:35] <sebsebseb> Roasted: I guess there are things you can install on to the server for that
[22:35] <neur0m4ncer> sebsebseb: DNS has no effect - anything else you could recommend?
[22:35] <sebsebseb> neur0m4ncer: nope,  except try another computer as I mentioned earlier, and still problems can contact ISP
[22:36] <CppIsWeird> i have a wireless connection on a xubuntu laptop. every time the wireless disconnects it stays disconnected. i think this is because i never created a password store. how do i initiate that process?
[22:36] <neur0m4ncer> Okey doke - thanks.
[22:36] <monokrome> sebsebseb: I know it's not the mouse because the mouse has a sensitivity changes built into it and it doesn't change the sensitivity of the mouse "wandering"
[22:36] <monokrome> Also, it doesn't happen in Windows
[22:36] <Stoken> oin #ubuntu-de
[22:36] <sebsebseb> monokrome: right yeah, but not happening in Windows isn't that relivant
[22:36] <sebsebseb> monokrome: except for knowing  the hardware still works
[22:37] <monokrome> Which is relative to me support the fact that it's a Ubuntu/software issue
[22:37] <wildbat> neur0m4ncer, you can try <IP_ADDRESS> that's google's DNS
[22:38] <sebsebseb> monokrome: useually installing updates and such go fine,  sadly at the moment, you can't just revert an installed update,  but it seems  maybe the next release  or the one after,  people will be able to do stuff like that, since btrfs.  Which might be the default file system for 10.10 if its stable enough.
[22:38]  * monokrome doesn't want to have to code Python in Windows :(
[22:38] <sebsebseb> monokrome: try the Live CD?
[22:38] <sebsebseb> monokrome: got a Live CD of 10.04?
[22:38] <monokrome> works in the live CD
[22:39] <neur0m4ncer> wildbat: thanks - I can get to all of my usual sites, just not to xbmc.org - weird, huh? So I've just dug out an old POS lappy that has been sitting unused for a couple years, but should work over Ethernet - and it's XP too. I'll see if that can find it.
[22:39] <monokrome> Like I said, I installed the OS 2 days ago and updated today
[22:39] <monokrome> todays update broke it
[22:39] <tmas> I have a large USB hard drive I want to install ubuntu on, but my BIOS doesn't support booting from USB. Is there a way I can get around that and boot it (possibly use GRUB on the main drive)?
[22:39] <sebsebseb> monokrome: first version of Ubuntu or?
[22:39] <monokrome> sebsebseb: What?
[22:40] <sebsebseb> monokrome: well the install isn't that old, so why not just clean install?

[22:41] <CppIsWeird> i have a wireless connection on a xubuntu laptop. every time the wireless disconnects it stays disconnected. i think this is because i never created a password store. how do i initiate that process?
[22:41] <russell_simmons> sorry guys
[22:41] <russell_simmons> thought spelling ubuntu in big letters would be cool seeing as i really love the product
[22:41] <sebsebseb> monokrome: thats another issue they are going to try and solve soon it seems.   So people can easilly reinstall with things set up how it was before.  However yeah this isn't the future yet, so can't really help you, maybe someone else can later on though.
[22:42] <russell_simmons> /bin/sh: it: command not found
[22:42] <russell_simmons> what the heck
[22:42] <russell_simmons> sorry about that

[22:42] <Roasted> ha. wow.
[22:42] <sebsebseb> LjL: beat me to it
[22:42] <Roasted> perma ban
[22:43] <neur0m4ncer> Well that proves it - XP can't get to the site either. I think a standing up phone call to VirginMedia is on its way. Thanks for all the suggestions.
[22:43] <tertl3> hey
[22:43] <tertl3> that guy was a jerk
[22:43] <LjL> let's move on
[22:43] <Socket_77> Hello, I was doing a do-release-upgrade from karmic 9.10 to lucid 10.04 server and my ssh connection died.  It was almost finished and at the point where it was going to remove 81 packages
[22:43] <Socket_77> How can I restart this?
[22:44] <magnetron> Socket_77: try running dpkg and see if it reports any errors
[22:44] <tmas> I have a large USB hard drive I want to install ubuntu on, but my BIOS doesn't support booting from USB. Is there a way I can get around that and boot it (possibly use GRUB on the main drive)?
[22:44] <trev_> I am trying to run an old fortran problem and am having some compiler difficulties, can any of you suggest any fortran compilers apart from gfortran, ifort?
[22:45] <wildbat> tmas, you need plop
[22:45] <Socket_77> magnetron: ok, which dpkg command?
[22:45] <tmas> wildbat: plop?
[22:45] <fadein> I use UNE Lucid and wish to run syndaemon with my own args. It's being started for me when I log in to GNOME.  So I now have two syndaemons running. Can I stop GNOME/X/whoever from launching it?
[22:46] <wildbat> tmas, http://www.plop.at/
[22:46] <magnetron> Socket_77: you could try installing any small package with aptitude and see if it succeds
[22:46] <PhoenixSTF> hey guys how r u?
[22:46] <tmas> wildbat: how is another linux distro going to help me?
[22:47] <wildbat> tmas, i got a bootloader that can boot your usb w/o BIOS support
[22:47] <sebsebseb> wildbat: Plop is an Austrain Linux distro?
[22:47] <sebsebseb> Austrian
[22:47] <Socket_77> magnetron: ok, I installed htop sucessfully
[22:47] <wildbat> tmas, check in its bootmanager section
[22:47] <tmas> wildbat: never mind, found the boot manager on the plop page. Thanks!
[22:48] <sebsebseb> tmas: whats plop?
[22:48] <wildbat> sebsebseb, no idea the origin of it
[22:48] <sebsebseb> wildbat: well .at is Austria
[22:49] <tmas> sebsebseb: a linux distro and boot manager, I guess. I've never heard of it 'till now, but I'm going to carry a cd with the boot manager with my everywhere I go from now on, really useful!
[22:49] <wildbat> sebsebseb, may ~ but anyone can use .at ~.tw .hk ;p
[22:49] <sebsebseb> tmas: yeah same here not heard of it before either, so i'll check out website now as well then
[22:49] <CppIsWeird> i have a wireless connection on a xubuntu laptop. every time the wireless disconnects it stays disconnected. i think this is because i never created a password store. how do i initiate that process?

[22:50] <LoRez> CppIsWeird: seriously, wtf?
[22:50] <tmas> Yeah. Really.
[22:50] <mneptok> CppIsWeird: if that was a mistake, ensure you do not repeat it.
[22:50] <sebsebseb> LoRez: language, but yeah  what was that
[22:50] <LoRez> frak is a language problem now?
[22:51] <sebsebseb> LoRez: the three letters like that are in this channel
[22:52] <tmas> h00k: Why don't you want to by operator?
[22:52] <mneptok> tmas: such questions are offtopic.
[22:52] <sebsebseb> h00k:  oh you kicked him,  when it may have just been some sort of mistake
[22:53] <tmas> mneptok: sorry, I just started to get annoyed by the constant noise coming from my IRC client.
[22:53] <slow-motion> n8
[22:53] <mneptok> tmas: then this channel is not someplace you want to be.
[22:53] <monokrome> sebsebseb: It just randomly stopped.
[22:54] <sebsebseb> tmas: you can turn off the join and parts and such
[22:54] <sebsebseb> monokrome: the floodbot stopped it
[22:54] <Socket_77> magnetron: Is it not possible to restart the do-release-upgrage?
[22:54] <pHcF> hey guys
[22:54] <monokrome> sebsebseb: My mouse wandering just randomly stopped.
[22:54] <pHcF> guys, how do i block a command for a user?
[22:54] <pHcF> like ping, or nmap?
[22:54] <tmas> mneptok: My client only tells me when a message has my nick in it or when someone's status changes.
[22:54] <sebsebseb> monokrome: ok :)
[22:54] <sebsebseb> ok good :)
[22:54] <Guest54152> pHcF, use ignore
[22:55] <pHcF> Guest54152: how?
[22:55] <monokrome> Thanks for helping, sebsebseb
[22:55] <sebsebseb> mondragon: well trying to yeah, but thing is
[22:55] <sebsebseb> oh to late they left
[22:55] <Guest54152> pHcF, /ignore
[22:55] <sebsebseb> however yeah their issue might come back
[22:56] <justindisgustin> I'm using an aspire one and have lost trackpad functionality.  any ideas?
[22:56] <chrome> anyone else having problems with flash after the latest updates?
[22:56] <LjL> Guest54152: how will /ignore help him?
[22:56] <PhoenixSTF> anybody knows about CLustering?
[22:56] <pHcF> Guest54152: ignore?
[22:57] <Guest54152> to ignore users
[22:57] <LjL> pHcF: i'm not sure there is an easy way to block a command for a specific user... however, you can make it executable only for members of a specific group, or something
[22:58] <n2diy> PhoenixSTF: I've studied it briefly, recently.
[22:58] <Y3N> hi, want to build an OS, but I do not know how to load kernel hello world. can give me a site with tutorials or tell me how do I send to the kernel of boot.bin
[22:58] <Y3N> pls help
[22:58] <pHcF> LjL: oh, gotcha
[22:58] <magnetron> pHcF: you could use sudo to restrict a command for a specific user
[22:58] <pHcF> any example or links?
[22:59] <Guest54152> pHcF, ignore users by typing /ignore ...
[22:59] <PhoenixSTF> n2diy: yes well i would like to it at home got some machines on the corner
[22:59] <h00k> Y3N: I don't think this is going to be the right place to ask.  Try in ##linux I suppose.
[22:59] <LjL> Guest54152: pHcF never asked how to ignore users, however, i believe.
[22:59] <Y3N> 10x
[22:59] <lyalha> Could someone help me create a persistent live usb of ubuntu that stores /tmp in the pc's ram? (think i worded that right..)
[22:59] <n2diy> PhoenixSTF: Same deal here, five boxes, and only two of them are doing anything.
[23:00] <xomp> could someone tell me how to make an existing user account not have permission to change anything outside of it's own directory?
[23:00] <PhoenixSTF> n2diy: same here 5 almost 6 now!
[23:01] <erUSUL> xomp: do not let that account use sudo ?
[23:01] <tle_> can anyone help me with a problem I'm having with VirtualBox?
[23:01] <sebsebseb> !details | tle_
[23:01] <xomp> erUSUL: I have a Linode VPS running ubuntu and had added a user for a server program to run. I would like to make sure that user account is locked to a specific directory.
[23:01] <Guest54152> LjL, he asked to block users
[23:01] <tle_> ubottu: I'm having issues with keyboard input. For instance while trying to install 10.04 in a VM I get the boot menu and can move around but pressing Enter does nothing
[23:02] <LjL> Guest54152: err, yes, from executing commands like 'ping' or 'nmap' he said... i.e. local users on his system ;)
[23:02] <tle_> Alright then, in VirtualBox I'm having issues with keyboard input. For instance while trying to install 10.04 in a VM I get the boot menu and can move around but pressing Enter does nothing
[23:02] <PhoenixSTF> n2diy: where do i start m8 i read something about the PXE for booting and some proccess sharing program
[23:02] <sebsebseb> tle_: a vm with what host OS?
[23:03] <tle_> sebsebseb: Mint
[23:03] <sebsebseb> tle_: oh
[23:03] <erUSUL> xomp: system users (the ones you add for server programs) do not have home nor a login shell nor password... that way nobody can log with that username
[23:03] <n2diy> PhoenixSTF: I'd start with synaptic, I came across so clustering sw in there, but don't have the details handy at the moment.
[23:03] <sebsebseb> tle_: thats sort of interesting I find, Mint as host, Ubuntu in vm. better the other way round really though :)  anyway uhmmm try #vbox for your issue, good luck
[23:03] <xomp> erUSUL: I'm pretty sure I can login to my VPS via SSH using the new user account I created with "adduser user" lol
[23:04] <tle_> sebsebseb: thanks
[23:04] <xomp> erUSUL: I'm also pretty sure I can "cd /home/user" and write/delete from it :P
[23:04] <erUSUL> xomp: you should have used the --system switch
[23:04] <erUSUL> xomp: sudo adduser --system whatever
[23:04] <sapersi> i used geany from the synaptics package manger,t hank you sir
[23:05] <xomp> erUSUL: what does --system do exactly? Is it too late to alter the existing user account at all?
[23:05] <PhoenixSTF> n2diy: have you heard of PVm or MPI, and also LTSP?
[23:06] <justindisgustin> I'm using an aspire one and have lost trackpad functionality.  any ideas?
[23:06] <erUSUL> xomp: read the fine adduser manpage :) it is placed in nogroup group with shell pinting to /bin/false (and logins disabled)
[23:06] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: What kind of clustering you do depends on the application.
[23:07] <PhoenixSTF> chrome i think vm mostly
[23:07] <xomp> erUSUL: but I need to have logins enabled so that I can stop/start/restart the processes from time to time heh.
[23:07] <magnetron> xomp: no need. you can use su for that
[23:07] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: what applications can we run? besides vm?
[23:07] <n2diy> PhoenixSTF: LTSP, yes, the others I'm not sure of. I spent a good deal of time in synaptic last week, checking out each package, not quit down yet either, currently I'm in the "Ws"
[23:07] <xomp> magnetron: oh I completely forgot about su!!
[23:07] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: Anything, but how it is clustered changes the design generally
[23:08] <davidmatthew> i got a emachine em250, currently i can't get the mic to work and that is both the built in mic and the mic jack
[23:08] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: Clustering generally means having fail-over, and things like Heartbeat are perfect for that
[23:08] <uLinux> Need help deleting some shortcuts (that dont delete)
[23:08] <magnetron> uLinux: explain the problem to the channel
[23:08] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: like for apache and stuff?
[23:08] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: but like I said, it depends what you want to "cluster"
[23:09] <PhoenixSTF> i whant processing power and memory
[23:09] <n2diy> PhoenixSTF: I thought LTSP was a long term support project, at first glance.
[23:09] <uLinux> I uninstalled Wine .. then I deleted Wine shortcut but then it moved some shortcuts to Other menu
[23:09] <xomp> magnetron: is it possible to change an already existing user account to this --system thing that erUSUL mentioned?
[23:09] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: a typical design for apache would be to have n+1 number of apache servers, sitting behind "load balancers", ideally hardware load balancers, but you can get away with a pair of machines running heartbeat and balance.
[23:09] <PhoenixSTF> n2diy:sorry my bad https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSP-Cluster
[23:09] <erUSUL> xomp: usermod ?
[23:09] <magnetron> xomp: yes.
[23:10] <chrome> LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, its not a clustering system per se, though it can help with building cluster nodes that are diskless.
[23:10] <xomp> erUSUL: usermod? sorry I'm not very familiar with linux that much heh
[23:10] <uLinux> i hate these bugs
[23:10] <erUSUL> xomp: is a command similar to adduser that lets you edit existing accounts
[23:10] <tucemiux> anyone knows how to make the wireless applet reappear?
[23:10] <erUSUL> xomp: man usermod
[23:10] <xomp> erUSUL: ok thanks
[23:11] <erUSUL> tucemiux: alt + f2 --> run nm-applet
[23:11] <uLinux> I can hide those shortcuts but can't deleter
[23:11] <uLinux> delete
[23:11] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: well im not doing any apache for now so resouce sharing (processing, memory, etc) is the way to go for me right now
[23:12] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: and yes bootless nodes is also a way to go, for old machines without HDD or for having the latest kernel alive!
[23:12] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: thats a different kind of cluster, and generally applications need to be designed to work with that kind of cluster.
[23:12] <n2diy> PhoenixSTF: Don't think I can play with that, now 64 bit cpus here.
[23:12] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: I don't think the idea you have of clustering is actually what it is.
[23:12] <n2diy> _no_
[23:12] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: What you want to look at for what your idea of clustering is, is Beowulf
[23:12] <tucemiux> erusul, im running applet in command line,  it wont restart, DEBUG: old state indicates...
[23:12] <uLinux> ..
[23:12] <chrome> but its not really useful for general computing.
[23:12] <bricky> man transmission is buggy for some reason all the sudden
[23:13] <Usuario305> hello.. i have some problem when using ftp from terminal it says 425 Could not open data connection to port 38353: No route to host when i try to ls on the ftp server.. but if i use an gui ftp client it works fine.. anyone know what might be wrong?
[23:13] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: beowulf yes its good but how can i use ubuntu server with that?
[23:13] <magnetron> Usuario305: set your client to use "passive mode"
[23:13] <chrome> I have no idea.
[23:13] <nnick> r
[23:13] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: or how can i set up one
[23:13] <Usuario305> quote PASV?
[23:13] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: you need to think about WHAT it is you are actually trying to achieve
[23:14] <pregier> PhoenixSTF, every cluster is different, and the cardinal rule for these questions is usually "it depends on the application"
[23:14] <magnetron> Usuario305: it needs client support. depends on the client on how you enable it
[23:14] <Usuario305> i am using ftp from terminal
[23:14] <masterkorp> .quit
[23:14] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: If you want to plug two machines together and have a "machine" that is the sum of all the resources, and expect a program to transparently migrate between the two machines as if it was two seperate CPUs, then you're misunderstanding what most clusters are.
[23:14] <Usuario305> i typed quote PASV and it says 227 Entering Passive Mode (195,74,38,22,91,252)  but still  i get same message when ls
[23:14] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: example! i got a few machines and wanted to run Virtual machines to run renders, or any type of aplication the user wants thruu the virtual machine
[23:15] <magnetron> Usuario305: pass the -p switch when starting ftp. " ftp -p server etc.etc."
[23:15] <erUSUL> Usuario305: try lftp ?
[23:15] <Usuario305> ok thanks mangetron
[23:15] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: and that is not a cluster?
[23:15] <xomp> erUSUL: looking at the man page for usermod, I'm starting to think it may be simpler for me to just create a new user with the --system switch like you mentioned and just cp all the files over haha
[23:15] <uLinux> no one helps cya
[23:16] <Usuario305> it worked now.. thanks
[23:16] <magnetron> Usuario305: "quote" just passes commands to the SERVER not the client. that's why i said you need to use client specific commands.
[23:16] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: thats not how clusters work
[23:16] <magnetron> Usuario305: "man ftp" will give you the details
[23:16] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: they might work like that in your brain
[23:16] <Usuario305> ok thanks :)
[23:17] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: then again sorry my bad notion of whats what!
[23:17] <gothenburg> nepp
[23:17] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: and thanks for the explanation ;)
[23:17] <erUSUL> xomp: ok; good luck
[23:17] <magnetron> gothenburg: eru go eller?
[23:17] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: so whats it called the big machines made of machines?
[23:17] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: there are *compute* clusters, which have specially designed applications that target special APIs that can do things like access memory on another machine, and farm out 'processing' units out to other CPUs on other machines, and they are clusters
[23:18] <xomp> erUSUL: that should work right? I don't want to be wasting time on a fools errand if I can avoid it heh.
[23:18] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: but you can't just take virtualbox and stick it on a compute cluster and have it "use" all the memory and CPU across all the machines
[23:18] <erUSUL> xomp: should work yes
[23:18] <gothenburg> magnetron: nej
[23:18] <gothenburg> jag är förbannad
[23:18] <xomp> erUSUL: cheers for this :)
[23:18] <erUSUL> xomp: no problem
[23:18] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: For standard software, what a cluster will give you is fail-over and high availability
[23:18] <Usuario305> ni är svenskar :p
[23:19] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: but nothing of that processing stuff?
[23:19] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: N+1 machines in a cluster, with say MySQL running on one machine, will allow you to migrate the MySQL instance to the other machine in a few seconds if the primary machine dies.
[23:19] <erUSUL> !sv
[23:20] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: yes i know that type of migration fail safe, is also used to update servers and etc!
[23:20] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: Generally speaking if the application isn't designed for that specific cluster API then no, it's not going to work in the way you think it will.
[23:20] <tucemiux> erUSUL, this is really weird,  I just installed lucid from an ISO, the wireless nm-app wont show up automatically if I'm on a wireless site my laptop is not configured to use so now I cant fire up nm-applet and search for AP's and attempt to connect to whatever is available without security
[23:20] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: so i cant connect like 5 machines and make it all work has one and run multiples VM???
[23:21] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: You can connect 5 machines and run 5 VMs on it, one per machine, and have one die and have one of the other 4 pick up the VM from the dead machine.
[23:21] <erUSUL> tucemiux: nm-applet does not work ? what errors do you get ?
[23:22] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: There is some stuff out there for doing memory mirroring, so that if you lose a machine, the process can be "continued" on another machine transparently, but that stuff is quite expensive.
[23:23] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: so it would be like 4 fail safes... not realy what i whanted, and its of the self stuff
[23:23] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: beowulf allows you to build a logical machine that is the sum of it's servers; but again a process running on beowulf only exists on one physical machine at a time.
[23:23] <PhoenixSTF> like multiples cores on a computer!
[23:24] <PhoenixSTF> chrome:like multiples cores on a computer
[23:24] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: it can only allocate memory on one machine, and can only use cpu on one machine unless the application is written to use the memory sharing APIs
[23:24] <tucemiux> erUSUL, it works the way I just mentioned.  nm-applet did not show up automatically when I turned my laptop on.  I attempted to start the applet and I got the error I told you about previously when I was on my phone.  I had to manually go to "Network Conections" and configure SSID on the AP first then nm-applet appeared in its usual place, is this a bug or a "feature"?
[23:24] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: no, you're not going to get a VM to spread over multiple machines like that
[23:24] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: think about what you're asking it to do; you're expecting memory access to go over the network
[23:25] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: again, there ARE hardware architectures that support that kind of thing but they are very very expensive, as they have high speed interconnects between the nodes.
[23:25] <chrome> and again. the applications need to be written to support it
[23:25] <chrome> your idea of what clustering is, is wrong
[23:25] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: ok chrome thanks for the insight!
[23:26] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: and any tutorial on that fail over n+1?
[23:26] <xomp> erUSUL: I just did "adduser --system xomp" on my VPS and it says it successfully added the new user with nogroup etc.. but when I "su xomp" it does nothing and I'm left still at the "root" prompt. Did I mess something up here?
[23:26] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: not what i expected but still usefull
[23:26] <cn1109> Hello, How can I install php4? It seems that the package is missing?
[23:27] <magnetron> cn1109: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[23:27] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: Heartbeat should be your first port of call, and it'll run happily on ubuntu server
[23:28] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: ill search for it, and see what i can get out of it!
[23:28] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: you'll also need a shared filesystem of some description
[23:28] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: that choice really depends on your budget
[23:28] <undecim1> Is it safe to install grub 2 from an i386 live cd (knoppix) for use on an amd64 system?
[23:28] <cn1109> magnetron: Ubuntu Server (latest version)
[23:29] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: budget old machines nobody whants! lol THnaks again m8 ;)
[23:29] <DIL> n
[23:30] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: if you have lots of them, pick two and plug in lots of shared scsi disk, export it via NFS and use heartbeat for failover (you can only mount it on one machine at a time)
[23:30] <chrome> or if you're feeling fancy, look at iSCSI.
[23:30] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: sorry m8 only satas and ide!!!!!!
[23:31] <chrome> sucks to be you then :P
[23:31] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: it seems im out of my league!
[23:31] <cn1109> okay. So... I'm still looking for php4-mysql
[23:31] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: yah sucks to be me
[23:31] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: lol thanks m8 sorry for the questions, and cheers ;)
[23:32] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: iscsi from a bunch of machines, with drbd to replicate between them and failover for the iscsi target
[23:32] <magnetron> cn1109: my guess is that it's too old to be included in new versions of ubuntu, especially the LTS versions
[23:32] <chrome> PhoenixSTF: the cluster nodes can then mount the iscsi devices directly for particilar filesystems and applications are tied to the filesystem, with the heartbeat setup to fail the filesystem and application to other nodes as required
[23:32] <PhoenixSTF> chrome: lol out of my league m8, if i get my hands on one ill let you know!
[23:33] <chrome> my contract rate is $75/hour :P
[23:33] <PhoenixSTF> thanks again!
[23:33] <tucemiux> anyone knows how to install mp3 nonfree software using apt-get ?
[23:33] <PhoenixSTF> LOL
[23:33] <PhoenixSTF> LOL
[23:33] <PhoenixSTF> good to know :P
[23:34] <sebsebseb> tucemiux: MP3 codecs?
[23:34] <magnetron> tucemiux: install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras" with the Software Center (or use apt-get or aptitude or synaptic if you understand them better)
[23:34] <tucemiux> sebsebseb, i just found out theyre the restricted extras
[23:35] <sebsebseb> tucemiux: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras yeah
[23:35] <sebsebseb> tucemiux: will give you MP3 and AVI and some other stuff
[23:35] <shomon> hi, my opengl setup is not working at all since I upgraded from 8.06 to lucid
[23:35] <tucemiux> magnetron, ubuntu-restricted-extras it is, im identifying all the packages I have to download manually and putting  a script together so that when I reimage my machine Ill just run the sscript and all my appz are installed
[23:35] <shomon> even glxgears doesn't work. Any idea how to fix it?
[23:36] <sebsebseb> shomon: 8.04 to Lucid you mean
[23:36] <shomon> yes
[23:36] <shomon> sorry
[23:36] <sebsebseb> shomon: you installed propritary driver in 10.04?
[23:36] <shomon> Actually I thought the proprietary driver was the problem
[23:37] <magnetron> tucemiux: 'dpkg --get-selections' will produce a list of all installed packages
[23:37] <sebsebseb> shomon: yes may be, whats the actsaul problem?
[23:37] <sebsebseb> shomon: try re installing it
[23:37] <shomon> ok sebsebseb
[23:37] <tmas> Anyone know how I can get past verizon blocking HTTP requests?
[23:37] <magnetron> tucemiux: that list can later be passed to apt-get to install all those packages
[23:38] <FireCrotch> tmas: maybe if you explain the problem a little better than that
[23:38] <uLinux> damn alacarte buggy
[23:38] <tucemiux> magnetron, i have my own specific list of appz that i use, i just have a one liner using apt-get that installs all of those appz, every time I reimage a machine I try to figure out the name of the package that I can include to my little one line script
[23:39] <uLinux> sometimes ubuntu sucks
[23:39] <shomon> sebsebseb, what is the package name for the proprietary driver? I had fglrx
[23:39] <shomon> but not sure if that's the one to use
[23:40] <tucemiux> uLinux, yes sometimes it does, thats why we have this channel, if you ever run into problems just login to the channel and ask, all in one line and maybe someone will be able to help you
[23:40] <tmas> FireCrotch: I'm really not sure how to. Verizon is blocking incoming HTTP requests.
[23:40] <uLinux> or not
[23:40] <FireCrotch> tmas: Are you sure they're not just blocking incoming traffic on port 80?
[23:40] <coolkehon> hi
[23:40] <tucemiux> uLinux, if no one is able to help you right now you can wait and ask later, you can also try the forums
[23:40] <coolkehon> good god 1500nicks
[23:41] <uLinux> now I just want to restore those Wine shortcuts reinstalled didn't put it on the menus
[23:41] <coolkehon> where can I find StyleBats for conky, it gives me weird symbols
[23:41] <mneptok> tmas: most ISPs block port 80 for residential accounts. use another port, or get a business account.
[23:42] <xomp> anyone?: I just did "adduser --system xomp" on my VPS and it says it successfully added the new user with nogroup etc.. but when I "su xomp" it does nothing and I'm left still at the "root" prompt. Did I mess something up here?
[23:42] <Loshki> tmas: lots of ISPs don't want you running servers. Some of them will even terminate your service for doing so. Check with your ISP...
[23:43] <uLinux> so anyone can help me fixing the damn wine shortcuts?
[23:43] <MACscr> so i just tried launching a game in my 3 monitor setup and now two of my monitors are cloned. How can i restore my settings without losing all my open apps
[23:43] <jedix> hey, I have an issue with the preempt kernel and the nvidia drivers
[23:43] <jedix> anyone?
[23:43] <shomon> sorry to ask again, but how do you install opengl on lucid?
[23:43] <jedix> it's mythbuntu btw
[23:44] <tucemiux> jedix, what's the issue, go ahead and ask --- all in one line ---
[23:44] <spacebug-> I'm running ubuntu 10.04. When I plug in my usb devices (harddrive and mp3-player) they get auto mounted. Where should I look if I want to change the OPTIONS with which they get mounted? (I would like to change from utf8 to iso88591).
[23:44]  * uLinux formats because of shortcuts

[23:50] <xomp> magnetron: I am
[23:50] <xomp> magnetron: I type "su user" and I just sit at the root prompt heh

[23:51] <seahorse_> i've heard to stay wtih 173 not go to 177 nVidia driver...
[23:51] <magnetron> xomp: maybe you should use some other method of checking if it works, than just looking at the prompt
[23:51] <seahorse_> that 177 fried my latitude
[23:51] <monriel> acerimmer: What iRC client you use?
[23:51] <xomp> magnetron: well I created a user like this "adduser --system xomp" and it said it created everything fine, there's even now a /home/xomp. When I try to switch to the "xomp" account with "su xomp" it just returns me to the prompt as root.

[23:54] <foul_owl> how do i setup two web servers to mirror each other? in other words, balance web requests between two machines, and if one goes down, the other takes over
[23:54] <nUboon2Age> LuisV_: its called gnome-disk-utility in Synaptic
[23:54] <iceroot> foul_owl: i think #httpd is better for that
[23:54] <xomp> foul_owl: that sounds a lot like load balancing/slaving. Best ask in #httpd or #nginx depending on your httpd.
[23:54] <gb0> hi
