[00:00] <Flare183> jatt: You would need a modified ethernet cable to do that. (AKA Internet connection sharing)
[00:00] <MTeck> jatt: you could use wireless
[00:00] <omniplatform_> Hi, I have had problems with ubuntu installed via wubi.  I checked the md5 of the image i downloaded and it matches
[00:00] <SealedWithAKiss> Halitech, everything is fine now. The card is working at a basic level though right, how do I configure it to run at it's best?
[00:01] <jatt> thanks, I read somthing like NAT, is that relevant for this?
[00:01] <Halitech> SealedWithAKiss, look in the menus, you should now see the ati catalyst control center listed, you can change settings there
[00:01] <jatt> I can connect from one laptop to another using wireless in ad-hoc mode
[00:01] <jatt> I can download files with ssh that way
[00:01] <Flare183> !inetsharing | jatt
[00:01] <jatt> but I want to have access to the internet from my second laptop
[00:02] <jatt> thanks will read that
[00:02] <Flare183> jatt: Your welcome. :)
[00:02] <aeolian> Halitech: Yeah. It notices a device, calling it "Solid Year" or so instead of referring to it as a Webcam.
[00:02] <Nikelandjelo> Did smb have a problem with gnome, when buttons on panel (Applications, Places, etc) don't work and you can't run any program, except those, which've already run on autostart?
[00:02] <Halitech> aeolian, can you use pastebin to show us the output?
[00:03] <Skunkwaffle> question: I'm setting up a dual boot system, vista/ubuntu, with a second hard drive for music/pictures/documents/etc. Is it easier to make it a linux drive and let windows access it, or make it a windows drive and let ubuntu access it?
[00:04] <aeolian> Halitech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258986/
[00:04] <omniplatform_> when I boot from the Windows OS selector, and select Ubuntu, I get two very brief messages, then it reboots
[00:04] <Flare183> Skunkwaffle: Windows can not access Linux partitions without special software/drivers.
[00:04] <boss_mc> Skunkwaffle: windows drive (either ntfs or fat)
[00:05] <Flare183> omniplatform_: Grub is needed to fix that problem, the Windows startup selector doesn't work.
[00:05] <MTeck> omniplatform_: Are you trying to use wubi?
[00:06] <omniplatform_> yes, I am using wubi Flare183: how do I do that?
[00:06] <Skunkwaffle> okay, and then I can just give the Linux user permissions for the entire drive right?
[00:06] <CuppaTea> whats the name of ssl dev im trying to install libtorrent and rtorrent
[00:06] <lordnikon> i have a netbook with ubuntu9.04  and the wifi is not working
[00:06] <Flare183> omniplatform_: Let MTeck help you with that, I don't know much about wubi.
[00:06] <Skunkwaffle> I mean I don't have to set it for every file do I?
[00:06] <Flare183> !wifi | lordnikon
[00:06] <omniplatform_> I checked md5 of the image i downloaded, and it mathched
[00:07] <omniplatform_> matched
[00:07] <MTeck> Flare183: I don't really know much either..
[00:07] <MTeck> !wubi
[00:07] <Flare183> MTeck: Uh oh.
[00:07] <omniplatform_> huh.  I may just scratched trying to do wubi, and install ubuntu on its own partition
[00:08] <MTeck> omniplatform_: You'll get better performance that way ;)
[00:08] <MTeck> omniplatform_: I was going to suggest following the links
[00:08] <Nikelandjelo> which dirs do I have to remove if I want to "clean" gnome for certain user?
[00:08] <Halitech> aeolian, no idea, never heard of it and neither has google
[00:08] <Flare183> omniplatform_: Yup, MTeck is right, but just be careful. You don't want to delete windows (unless you are going to on purpose)
[00:08] <aeolian> Halitech: Ouch. >_o Thanks for the help anyways though.
[00:09] <MTeck> Nikelandjelo: .gnome*
[00:09] <MTeck> omniplatform_: if you can give me the error messages I might be able to help though
[00:10] <MTeck> omniplatform_: I'll do what I can
[00:10] <CuppaTea> anyone installed libtorrent and rtorrent before I need a little help
[00:10] <Shoe> how can I use an .exe?
[00:10] <Flare183> !wine | Shoe
[00:10] <MTeck> !wine | Shoe
[00:10] <Halitech> Shoe, you don't natively, exe is a windows file
[00:10] <crdlb> CuppaTea: what's wrong with the official package?
[00:11] <MTeck> Shoe: you've asked this a few days now too - please read the documentation
[00:11] <j2daosh> can someone pastebin the standard ubuntu 9.04 sources.list? i dont need the extras, but right now i dont even have the multi-verse, restricted, community repos in my sources list :(
[00:11] <MTeck> Shoe: or better | apt-get install wine
[00:11] <Shoe> no, I haven't
[00:11] <CuppaTea> .? can you help me please I a total noob to linux.
[00:11] <MTeck> !ask | CuppaTea
[00:11] <crdlb> CuppaTea: 'sudo apt-get install rtorrent' (or use Synaptic)
[00:12] <CuppaTea> k, sorry people
[00:12] <MTeck> CuppaTea: I prefer ctorrent - just fyi
[00:12] <DaZ-> transmissin is better for noobs <:
[00:12] <DaZ-> sion*
[00:12] <CuppaTea> I just need something with a nice webui for a seedbox
[00:12] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: hey man that didnt do anything different. .
[00:12] <MTeck> DaZ-: but also requires a daemon - I hate that
[00:12] <Flare183> !bittorrent | CuppaTea
[00:12] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: i have no other ideas man.. Got something else?
[00:13] <DaZ-> MTeck, i love it
[00:14] <aluno> boa noite
[00:15] <zamba> does linux/ubuntu support fingerprint authentication?
[00:15] <mnaines> Zamba, biometrics, you mean
[00:15] <Flare183> zamba: You mean like from a fingerprint reader?
[00:15] <Flare183> zamba: If so, then yes.
[00:15] <zamba> Flare183: yup
[00:15] <mnaines> Flare183: He means Biometrics
[00:15] <zamba> maybe i do :)
[00:15] <MTeck> !biometrics
[00:15] <MTeck> :(
[00:16] <Flare183> mnaines: I know. :)
[00:16] <codazoda> In Gnome, when connected to my sftp server, paste is disabled (gray).  I can connect via FTP and add, delete, or edit any file on the system.  Any idea why paste would be disabled?
[00:16] <codazoda> Sorry, I can connect via SSH.
[00:16] <mnaines> Fingerprint scanners or retinal scanners are two forms of biometrics
[00:16] <zamba> mnaines: package? info? anything?
[00:16] <mnaines> Personally, I prefer retinal scanners myself
[00:16] <zamba> i basically want to replace all operations where i usually enter my password with using my finger
[00:17] <zamba> with password as a fall-back
[00:17] <mnaines> Then you'll need a dedicated USB biometrics device
[00:17] <zamba> i have a laptop with an integrated fingerprint reader
[00:17] <mnaines> APC makes one pretty cheap, but its not without flaws
[00:17] <Flare183> mnaines: Or, use the intergrated one if he has one.
[00:18] <MTeck> mnaines: he's asking for packages now
[00:18] <acicula> zamba: slightly off topic, but most laptop integrated fingerprint readers are easily fooled, but i havent been able to get mine working either :/
[00:18] <mnaines> APC's version primarily is a multi-password manager...Input all your passwords and the APC scanner will let you use your fingerprint in place of passwords...But Synaptic does not have anything for biometrics scannersa
[00:18] <zamba> why are you talking about me like i'm not in the room? :)
[00:18] <MTeck> probably a tutorial or something too
[00:18] <MTeck> zamba: me?
[00:19] <zamba> acicula: security's not really a big issue.. i just want it for neatness :)
[00:19] <zamba> and proof of concept
[00:19] <mnaines> acicula: As with all fingerprint scanners, the best way to get past them is to "convince" the person registered for the scanner to unlock it for you
[00:19] <mnaines> Those things are cheap (cheap in government terms) and near-impossible to hack
[00:19] <j2daosh> or just photocopy your finger...
[00:20] <acicula> mnaines: well yes off course, but most laptop's carry enough prints of the operator and are easily fooled by scotch tape and some glue
[00:20] <mnaines> j2daosh: The good fingerprint scanners also look for a heat source
[00:20] <zamba> don't start discussing anything until you've helped me! :)
[00:20] <mnaines> The heat source has to be 99 degrees Fahrenheit in addition to having the proper fingerprint
[00:20] <MTeck> zamba: I think I can......
[00:20] <MTeck> zamba: http://ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/get-your-fingerprint-reader-to-work-in-ubuntu.html
[00:20] <j2daosh> mnaines: well what do you think your going to use to push the piece of paper down with?
[00:20] <Flare183> Alright, you guys Let keep on topic.
[00:20] <zamba> MTeck: thanks!
[00:20] <j2daosh> a dead finger?
[00:20] <j2daosh> lol
[00:21] <MTeck> zamba: I skimmed that and it looks good - sorry for the lack of an answer for so long
[00:21] <MTeck> zamba: backup first though
[00:21] <mnaines> MTeck, personally, I don't like fingerprint scanners...I prefer smart cards
[00:22] <acicula> zamba: i read something about karmic and face recognition too i think
[00:22] <MTeck> mnaines: we don't care
[00:22] <zamba> acicula: using a web cam?
[00:22] <zamba> MTeck: passwords will still work, right?
[00:22] <MTeck> zamba: that plays around with pam so you could get locked out - ya
[00:22] <acicula> zamba: failing that the fallback is telekinesis.. ;)
[00:22] <mnaines> acicula: Retinal scanner is better than facial recognition, especially now that medical professionals can successfully do face transplants
[00:22] <zamba> acicula: hehhe
[00:23] <j2daosh> i just sent you a link mnaines, 3 things you can do to pass a fingerprint scanner
[00:23] <j2daosh> :)
[00:23] <EvilPenguin> ikonia: nothing man
[00:23] <EvilPenguin> :9
[00:23] <MTeck> !o4o | mnaines & acicula
[00:23] <zamba> MTeck: ah, that's no worries.. i've had my fights with pam previously - i'm all up for a new one :)
[00:23] <mnaines> I'm a hacker, j2daosh...I know how to get past biometrics scanners
[00:23] <zamba> j2daosh: i'd like to see that myself.. mind pm-ing me the same?
[00:23] <j2daosh> and now im going to go away for 19 minutes while i update with ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop
[00:24] <MTeck> mnaines: stop - take this discussion to -offtopic
[00:24] <antonius602> so if i want to update  my programs version <any program>, and ubuntu's repos are locked to a certain version....which sucks...should i apt-get purge it, and download the deb package from their website?  is this advised?
[00:25] <acicula> antonius602: updates are tied to an ubuntu version, that's what makes sure it all works
[00:25] <antonius602> yeah...
[00:25] <acicula> antonius602: if you want something newer you can install debs manually, or update to a never revision of ubuntu
[00:25] <MTeck> antonius602: You can open synaptic, find the package, and lock/unlock them
[00:26] <MTeck> I forgot how to do it via cli
[00:26] <antonius602> acicula: not really...deluge in 8.10 was locked to 0.5.x, and the website had a 1.6 deb package ...which worked fine
[00:26] <antonius602> Mteck:  that's interesting...i'll check that out
[00:26] <acicula> !fine
[00:26] <antonius602> and the deb package was for that particular release...
[00:26] <acicula> ugh, antonius602 what may be fine for you may not be fine for everyone, though yeh that seems a bit outdated
[00:27] <antonius602> acicula:  i guess i answered my own question
[00:27] <MTeck> antonius602: When Ubuntu releases a new version - they lock the packages in the repositories
[00:27] <antonius602> Mteck: thanks, didn't know that..
[00:27] <mnaines> !best | acicula
[00:27] <mnaines> acicula, that's the right command
[00:27] <acicula> mnaines: yeh not what i was looking for
[00:27] <antonius602> MTeck:  I'm sticking with a rolling distro, tho...Ubuntu is just for Vbox fun...TRYING to see the hype...thanks much, tho
[00:28] <MTeck> antonius602: Like he said, you can download a more up to date deb or even add a PPA to keep up the latest versions
[00:28] <j2daosh> acicula was looking for what he said "fine to you might not be fine to me"
[00:28] <acicula> ^^
[00:28] <mnaines> j2daosh, ubotto needs to be updated, it seems
[00:28] <MTeck> antonius602: I thought about a rolling distro once and just decided I enjoy the way this works
[00:28] <j2daosh> yeah, alittle bit
[00:28] <MTeck> !wfm | j2daosh
[00:29] <antonius602> MTeck: there's more to linux than ubuntu, i've learned...but...please, nobody freak out that i said that...I prefer rolling distros...i have a CHOICE to upgrade packages
[00:29] <antonius602> ^^easily that is
[00:29] <mnaines> Looks like someone in here knows commands
[00:29] <j2daosh> MTeck: not quite what acicula was going for, but it "works for me" :)
[00:29] <MTeck> antonius602: yup - there's actually a distro that pulls the latest source from the maintainer and compiles it - even more bleeding edge than gentoo or lfs
[00:30] <antonius602> MTeck: what's this one called?
[00:30] <acicula> antonius602: that's definitly an offtopic discussion, if you want bleeding edge go karmic or distros that aim for that sort of thing
[00:30] <j2daosh> antonius602: "always broke"
[00:30] <antonius602> my gentoo system isn't broke...unless i break it
[00:30] <MTeck> antonius602: I don't remember
[00:31] <antonius602> tyvm....lamo
[00:31] <MTeck> anyway - this is offtopic
[00:31] <antonius602> LAME-o...that is
[00:31] <antonius602> sorry, didn't bow down....:D
[00:31] <acicula> off course , you hack your kernel to get it to compile amirite
[00:32] <antonius602> MTeck: thanks for the non-fanboy responses....cheers, mate
[00:32] <MTeck> antonius602: I'm a seasoned ubuntu member - comes w/ the territory ;)
[00:32] <Ben64> antonius602: chillax dude, most people just prefer stability over "new"
[00:33] <antonius602> relaxed...just can't get a simple question across if it in some way questions Ubuntology...
[00:33] <antonius602> it's like fundamentalist christianity around here sometimes....lighten up fanboys!
[00:33] <Ben64> well this is just a ubuntu support chan....
[00:33] <antonius602> like i said
[00:33] <antonius602> thatnks for the support, Mteck
[00:33] <MTeck> antonius602: np
[00:33] <acicula> your question was answered, and then you complained?
[00:34] <MTeck> acicula: stop
[00:34] <j2daosh> who wants to go smoke with me lol
[00:34] <MTeck> Please - let's get back to the topic of this channel "Official Ubuntu Support Channel"
[00:34] <j2daosh> brb
[00:34] <acicula> MTeck: i hve to, battery's at 2% :D
[00:34] <jMyles> j2daosh: I'm down.  :-)
[00:36] <mnaines> How much of a difference does 100mA make on battery runtime for laptops?
[00:36] <Ben64> mnaines: depends how much said laptop uses per minute
[00:36] <mnaines> Ben64: Is there a way I can determine that?
[00:37] <Ben64> mnaines: i have an old xubuntu on my laptop, the power manager shows power usage in graph form
[00:37] <Ben64> dunno if they still have that
[00:37] <Ben64> otherwise, you could do it the regular way, turn on the computer with a full battery, time how long it takes to die
[00:37] <mnaines> Ben64: Hmm...Would the "Battery Charge Monitor" applet show that?
[00:38] <Ben64> mnaines: not sure what it was called on my computer
[00:38] <Ben64> showed %battery left, current power usage in watts, estimated time left
[00:39] <mnaines> Ben64, depends on what mode I set it for...If I set it for OnDemand or Performance, it is exactly 4 hours of runtime on a 6000mAh battery, but if I manually set the CPU frequency for 800MHz (it can go up to 1.86GHz), the time goes up to exactly 5 hours on a full charge
[00:39] <lordnikon> what is the command to install something from the desktop in ubuntu
[00:39] <lordnikon> i was  to use the terminal
[00:39] <lordnikon> !make
[00:40] <Ben64> well then you would get (6100/6000)*time on a battery with 100 more mah
[00:40] <BioVore> lordnikon: If you know the terminal.. just keep using the terminal :-)
[00:40] <lordnikon> i know but what is the command
[00:40] <mnaines> lordnikon: cd to the /home/(username)/Desktop/(program folder) then type sudo make install
[00:40] <lordnikon> make...?
[00:40] <j2daosh> lordnikon: use make if you have the source, if not, apt-get
[00:40] <lordnikon> i have the files
[00:41] <Halitech> lordnikon, are they .deb files, a tar file or ??
[00:41] <Koenigsegg> Ok, just checking. Anyone managed to connect a wii to the net via a ubuntu laptop with wireless ad hoc?
[00:41] <j2daosh> then use 'make'
[00:41] <mnaines> lordnikon, sudo make install will compile and install the program for you...Just because you have the files doesn't mean they are compiled yet
[00:41] <paneo> Hi. I have activated a Nvidia driver from "Hardware Drivers", but the driver isn't active.
[00:41] <j2daosh> and u might want to make sure that you have 'build-essential' installed
[00:41] <lordnikon> it is a tar.gz file
[00:41] <Repentinus> Is there a Ubuntu package for GCC 4.5.0 experimental?
[00:41] <lordnikon> i am trying to get the wifi working on a friends comp
[00:42] <BioVore> lordnikon: If its a standard gnu package..  ./configure --prefix=/usr  && make
[00:42] <MTeck> lordnikon: to install something, I use aptitude - others use synaptic or apt-get
[00:42] <mnaines> lordnikon, then you have to compile them manually...If it was a .deb package, it would do the work for you
[00:42] <Halitech> lordnikon, then extract the files, look in the folder for a readme or install file and follow the directions
[00:42] <j2daosh> he needs to untar it first
[00:42] <j2daosh> after that 'make', 'make install', 'install'
[00:42] <youcanlinux> #ubuntu-ca
[00:43] <mnaines> lordnikon, you have to first extract the files, then cd to the folder the files were extracted to, then type "sudo make install" and it will do the rest for you...Once its done, you should be good to go
[00:44] <mnaines> lordnikon, "sudo make install" is actually two commands in one.  Using that command, you are telling the shell to compile AND install the program
[00:44] <jatt> hi, I activated the remote desktop on a machine (gnome) which client program should I use to access it?
[00:45] <Halitech> lordnikon, info here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo
[00:45] <x404x> lordnikon use gunzip name then tar -xvf name
[00:45] <kaiser101231> can someone help with this error in vbox
[00:45] <kaiser101231> http://yfrog.com/5r456123j
[00:45] <paneo> jatt: Go to Applications -> Internet
[00:46] <jatt> yes...
[00:46] <MTeck> kaiser101231: #vbox
[00:46] <j2daosh> jatt: you can use remote desktop, or vnc (if memeory servers me correctly)
[00:46] <MTeck> kaiser101231: next time- alt+printscreen
[00:47] <jatt> I tried rdesktop and it gives me the error:
[00:47] <jatt> ERROR: 10.24.0.27: unable to connect
[00:47] <j2daosh> s/memeory/memory/
[00:47] <jatt> I can ping, ssh that machine though.
[00:47] <mnaines> jatt, don't forget to use a secure SSH connection, and you can use the "Passwords and Encryption Keys" to encrypt the SSH connection at RSA 8192 bit
[00:47] <j2daosh> netstat the other box and make sure that the server is listening for connections
[00:48] <MTeck> jatt: you're trying ot use vnc?
[00:48] <j2daosh> MTeck: nah i think he is trying to use remote desktop
[00:48] <jatt> MTeck: no. Just the gnome provided remote desktop functionality
[00:48] <mnaines> MTeck, if I am understanding him right, he's trying to use either a VPN or Remote Desktop
[00:48] <acicula> jatt rdesktop <ip>
[00:48] <MTeck> jatt: gnome to gnome?
[00:48] <MTeck> or gnome to windows?
[00:49] <j2daosh> its a gnome box that is remote desktop enabled, he wanted to know the client to use. didn't think to ask if he meant windows to linux :P
[00:50] <MTeck> jatt: I'm just prodding for !details
[00:50] <jatt> both machines are using linux :)
[00:50] <lordnikon1>  i downloaded madwifi  to help a friend out with her wifi not working
[00:50] <mnaines> jatt, two different distros or the same distro?
[00:50] <niceonenil> hello?
[00:50] <niceonenil> any body here can help me please
[00:50] <jatt> same, Ubuntu Jaunty.
[00:50] <MTeck> !ask | niceonenil
[00:50] <jatt> hmm nmap says:
[00:50] <jatt> 5900/tcp open  vnc
[00:51] <jatt> on the server, is this gnome remote desktop functionality the same as vnc?
[00:51] <lordnikon1> i have to get the wifi working on an asus eeepc 1005hab
[00:51] <MTeck> no
[00:51] <jatt> vnc is not installed on the server.
[00:51] <lordnikon1> help me please
[00:51] <jatt> dpkg -l | grep vnc says nothing...
[00:51] <jatt> hm.
[00:51] <altf2o> simple question, i know i have 2 disks in my server on /dev/[sda/sdb] but have forgotten their geometry. df -h doesn't tell the whole story, anyone know where the disk geometry (or similar) is stored?
[00:51] <mnaines> jatt, that could be the problem...Anytime you remote into a server, both the client and the server have to be configured for remote access
[00:51] <Ben64> jatt: it is vnc
[00:51] <niceonenil> hello, i need some body to give me few mints to help me in Ubuntu
[00:51] <jatt> welll, with vncviewer works
[00:51] <altf2o> Ubuntu 9.04 if it matters.
[00:51] <jatt> I thought a special program was needed.
[00:52] <Ben64> altf2o: what do you mean geometry
[00:52] <jatt> I see, I thought it was a different technology and not vnc, nice to know
[00:52] <mnaines> jatt, go to "places" and click on "connect to server" and see if it works
[00:52] <MTeck> jatt: 5900 is vnc
[00:52] <MTeck> !vnc
[00:52] <altf2o> Ben64: total capacity
[00:52] <acicula> jatt: it's vnc not rdp, thought i tried that a few days ago, so rdesktop wont work :P
[00:53] <altf2o> i could crack the case and look at the drives, but i know i'll need to know this later as well.
[00:53] <niceonenil> please i really need some body to help me - iam very new in this
[00:53] <jatt> I see. I don't like the vncviewer program will try another one
[00:53] <Ben64> altf2o: do you realize that hard drive capacities are never what are advertised? Manufacturers use GB=1000MB instead of 1024MB
[00:53] <mnaines> niceonenil, we cannot help you if we do not know what the problem is
[00:53] <jatt> but now is working I see the remote desktop right now
[00:53] <MTeck> jatt: on the remote system, install the server component and run it, then run the client on your local system ex. xvncserver/xvncviewer
[00:54] <acicula> MTeck: just enabling remote desktop sharing will give a vnc access point
[00:54] <jatt> MTeck: is running
[00:54] <altf2o> Ben64: yep. I don't need down to the byte value, a general idea will be enough. I just have so many partitions and things like swap don't seem to be listed. So i'd just like something that gives a general overview
[00:54] <jatt> MTeck: is working now thanks
[00:54] <MTeck> :)
[00:54] <acicula> MTeck: at least it seems to be, i just tried it
[00:54] <acicula> rdp i guess was virtualbox
[00:54] <mnaines> altf2o: what was your original question?  Sorry, I was helping someone else
[00:54] <jatt> but it's damn slow :)
[00:54] <Ben64> altf2o: you can try parted to look at partitions, but it can be a dangerous program (like deleting partitions)
[00:54] <niceonenil> the problem is - iam trying to open the VISUAL EFFECT of my Ubuntu to choose Extra Effect but its gives me ( couldnt be enabled )
[00:54] <jatt> I mean the laptops are near each other
[00:54] <paneo> Please... help me!
[00:54] <paneo>  I have activated a Nvidia driver from "Hardware Drivers", but the driver isn't active.
[00:54] <MTeck> !freenx | jatt
[00:55] <acicula> jatt: vnc is compressing the image and sending it to you, so yeah
[00:55] <Ben64> paneo: what happens when you open a terminal and type "glxgears"
[00:55] <mnaines> I don't like that setup, acicula
[00:55] <altf2o> mnaines: 'df -h' isn't giving me the whole picture, just wondering if there's some place the entire disk capacity\geometry is stored. I was hoping for something simple like in /proc/.... perhaps not though.
[00:55] <Ben64> altf2o: you can try parted to look at partitions, but it can be a dangerous program (like deleting partitions)
[00:56] <niceonenil> mnaies?
[00:56] <mnaines> alt2fo, what was the disk capacity rated for?
[00:56] <jatt> in my previous job my experience was that rdesktop was faster than vnc (at list on windows machines), so that's why I was hoping the Remote Desktop functionality was based on RDP but it turned out to be the plain old vnc :)
[00:56] <paneo> Ben64: The OS display... 'Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual'
[00:57] <Ben64> paneo: did you reset after activating the nvidia driver
[00:57] <MTeck> jatt: there's !tightvnc which is supposed to be faster - but !freenx runs over ssh and is much much faster (not exactly the easiest)
[00:57] <mnaines> jatt, you want advice from a hacker, go with the SSH connection...May not be the most user-friendly, but even guys like me can't crack the connection and intercept the data
[00:58] <altf2o> mnaines: this is an old box i'm using as my "test server" i honestly haven't opened the case in probably ~4yr. I /could/ do that, i was just wanting to expand it w/ a RAID card and a few drives, wondering what i already got in there.
[00:58] <wesley> hello guys got a audigy sound card. it doesnt work, if i mess around with the system, preferences, sound, sometimes i will here a sound or even a youtube video in the background, but it never stays running or plays anything else, this is on a dell dimension 8300. on special note, pclinuxos 2007 can play audio on this machine perfect, but thats not an option for os
[00:58] <niceonenil> guys please, some body communicate with me
[00:58] <SealedWithAKiss> How do I change the background colour of my Applications menu etc?
[00:58] <MTeck> mnaines: I've cracked them - not impossible
[00:58] <MTeck> !patience | niceonenil
[00:58] <Ben64> altf2o: ~~~you can try parted to look at partitions, but it can be a dangerous program (like deleting partitions)~~~~
[00:58] <mnaines> MTeck: not impossible, I agree, but for a run-of-the-mill script kiddie, its right up there
[00:58] <jatt> mnaines: you are right :) I've now an ssh connection open I was just trying to try the remote desktop functionality.
[00:59] <MTeck> SealedWithAKiss: System > Preferences > Appearance iirc
[00:59] <Ben64> altf2o: also, you can do "hdparm -iI /dev/sda" to find information of the drive itself
[00:59] <altf2o> Ben64: sorry :), thank you i'm looking at info on it now. I'd hate to screw things u
[00:59] <mnaines> niceonenil: The reason we are not answering you is because you have not told us what the problem is
[00:59] <paneo> Ben64: I have reseted, but the X display various errors... "Nvidia kernel not loaded"
[00:59] <niceonenil> ok - i need to enable my  ( visual effect and i cant - i need to install and i cant )
[00:59] <acicula> niceonenil: if it tells you desktop effects could not be enabled it generally means the right video driver is not yet loaded
[00:59] <MTeck> jatt: X Forwarding is an option too
[00:59] <niceonenil> how can i fix it ?
[00:59] <wesley> how do you install emu10k1, thats the driver pclinuxos 07 uses
[00:59] <Ben64> x forwarding is god awful slow
[01:00] <MTeck> depends - sometimes you can pull off good speed
[01:00] <mnaines> MTeck, you know, this is the first place on the internet I've been where I can use the words "script kiddie" without getting my computer messed with...All the people on Yahoo Chat who claim to be hackers will mess up your computer if you call them a script kiddie
[01:01] <Ben64> mnaines: lol, they can't do anything
[01:01] <altf2o> cool, 60GB and 160GB good deal, thanks guys :)
[01:01] <niceonenil> can i have dialog window with some body here ?
[01:02] <Anepsoreh> Pessoal, alguem ai sabe me falar como eu faço para instalar uma nova fonte ttf no ubuntu?
[01:02] <jatt> !pt
[01:02] <mnaines> Ben64, oh, they can...I routinely go into the Hacker's Lounge on Yahoo and see them selling credit card and bank account info
[01:02] <Halitech> mnaines, would be interesting to see them try to mess up a linux computer
[01:02] <MTeck> niceonenil: no - speaking in here lets more than one person help you and catch bad advice
[01:02] <Anepsoreh> sim

[01:02] <ssccss> HEy ,, I have shutdown my ubuntu in this mornning but after i came now to run it again the grup loader gives only one option " ubuntumemtest86+ " could help me to get to the right channel or help me to enable the ubuntu option :(
[01:02] <niceonenil> ok

[01:03] <Anepsoreh> la ninguem fala nada

[01:03] <mnaines> Ben64, go into Yahoo Chat list and look for the category "Computers and Internet" then look for "Hacker's Lounge:1"
[01:03] <bazhang> Anepsoreh, english here; #ubuntu-br for brasilian
[01:03] <MTeck> SealedWithAKiss: I don't know - I don't use Gnome (it's probably the last tab though)
[01:03] <Ben64> mnaines: on messenger?
[01:04] <SealedWithAKiss> MTeck, it's not there.
[01:04] <mnaines> Ben64: Yes...Feel free to call them Script Kiddies, too, just to see what they can do
[01:04] <SealedWithAKiss> MTeck, last tab is visual effect.
[01:04] <Anepsoreh> ok

[01:05] <mnaines> You got it backwards, MTeck
[01:05] <SealedWithAKiss> MTeck, to change the background colour of the menus and windows? They're a default ugly grey.
[01:05] <ssccss> :(
[01:05] <Halitech> niceonenil, use Add/Remove to install programs
[01:05] <acicula> niceonenil: menu-> add/remove or apt-get/apitude on a console
[01:05] <MTeck> SealedWithAKiss: oh - sorry - the second tab I think
[01:06] <niceonenil> it give me always ( E: couldnt find the package )
[01:06] <niceonenil> when i do    Sudo apt-get
[01:06] <acicula> niceonenil: check software sources and set antoher mirror?
[01:06]  * llua feels proud of learning how to use terminal
[01:07] <niceonenil> ok now i have for example new themes
[01:07] <TheStarLion> how do you make an ext3 partitioned hard drive automount on system startup? I managed it using pySDM for other partitions on the same drive as Jaunty, but it won't touch other drives at all
[01:07] <niceonenil> and i want to install it - but its always telling me so
[01:07] <niceonenil> i didn even two mirror's
[01:07] <Halitech> niceonenil, themes you don't need to install with apt-get
[01:07] <niceonenil> then guide me please
[01:08] <Halitech> niceonenil, depends on the theme, it should have install instructions with it
[01:08] <MTeck> niceonenil: open the themes section - drag/drop the file there
[01:08] <lordnikon1> does anyelse have wifi issues on an asus eeepc 1005 hab??
[01:09] <niceonenil> its ( Tar.gz ) file   and i extracted it -
[01:09] <Halitech> niceonenil, as far as your video card, have you checked System - admin - hardware drivers to see if there are any drivers to enable?
[01:09] <niceonenil> should i just take it as it is and drag it ?
[01:09] <Koenigsegg> The wireless doesn't even show up in Network connections in my Ubuntu. Guess some drivers are missing, but how do I install them correctly?
[01:09] <MTeck> !themes

[01:12] <TheStarLion> acicula: I've never done anything directly in fstab before, is there a graphic tool to do it, or does it have to be done in the fstab file - and if so, where is it
[01:12] <ocrob> i'd search the forums to see if anyone has had the same issue, i had a bunch of issues with my broadcom 4306 card but was able to find a solution in the forums.
[01:12] <bazhang> lordnikon1, justa a moment I am looking for a link
[01:12] <Halitech> TheStarLion, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

[01:13] <TheStarLion> acicula, Halitech: thanks, now I just have to figure out how to work with fstab
[01:13] <ocrob> lordnikon1: i ended up having to use ndiswrapper and going with a windows driver
[01:13] <nejode> Koenigsegg: that one should work out of the box with intrepid and up
[01:13] <lordnikon1> i tried to get that to wook but im kind of a noob
[01:14] <lordnikon1> can i om you for further details??
[01:14] <lordnikon1> err pm you
[01:14] <simran> Does anyone here Know much about installing Coreavc? - I want to know if i can install it in my xp partition and then register the codec in linux, rather than having to use wine???
[01:14] <Halitech> TheStarLion, if you look at the current fstab file you should be able to copy a line and just change the needed parts to fit the drive you want to mount
[01:15] <viniciusfs> is safe install Quickly (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly) on Ubuntu 9.04 ?
[01:15] <Koenigsegg> nejode: Ok =[? Some settings fiddling ahead for me then, I guess
[01:15] <quidnunc> I think my disk got full, it got mounted read-only and now I can't mount -o remount,rw -> "/dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only". Anyone have any ideas?
[01:15] <TheStarLion> Halitech: I just tried that actually, about to see if it works or not
[01:15] <Dr_Willis> simran:  for wine stuff. its best to use wine to install the progrm/tool/whatever
[01:16] <Dr_Willis> simran:  uwing wine to run stuff from a installed windows sytem.. can be problematic
[01:16] <Halitech> TheStarLion, here's my fdisk and fstab entries if you want to compare http://paste.ubuntu.com/259012/
[01:16] <ssccss> problem with grup loader ,, all options has been deleted :S i just have one option now " ubuntu 9.04 junty " plz help me i have alot of files of this system !!

[01:16] <niceonenil> Halitech, i have this file ( bluehack ) as a boot theme , i want to install it
[01:17] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, it could be a hard disk fault
[01:17] <simran> btw, how can i quickly input the name of users in this box without havin to copy/paste....is there a shortcut?
[01:17] <ruben23> hi guys any other ways i can enhance my audio and mic voice on ubuntu with a plantronic headset
[01:17] <Halitech> quidnunc, what does df -h say?
[01:17] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, kernel automatically mounts file system as read only when IO faults are found
[01:17] <Halitech> !tab | simran
[01:17] <TheStarLion> Halitech: I added one line so it would mount sda1 the same as sdb1, but now it gives a list of permission denied erroes on bootup, and terminates
[01:18] <ruben23> im using plantronic headset
[01:18] <simran> Halitech:  thanks
[01:18] <niceonenil> Halitech, i have this file ( bluehack ) as a boot theme , i want to install it, guide me for it please
[01:18] <simran> :D
[01:18] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: Okay, how do I remount?
[01:18] <Halitech> TheStarLion, can you paste the same info I did to you? sudo fdisk -l and cat /etc/fstab
[01:18] <quidnunc> Halitech: 8.8M avail
[01:18] <Halitech> quidnunc, yup, she's full
[01:18] <Koenigsegg> nejode: Ok, wlan0 shows up there. But how to use it? And why not show up in Network connections?
[01:19] <ruben23> any add on software on options i can have..
[01:19] <TheStarLion> It's on a different computer to this one, so I can't copy from it, and there's about 30 lines of stuff
[01:19] <quidnunc> Halitech: Uh, thanks I guess.
[01:19] <TheStarLion> I'm going to try and undo what I did by livecd
[01:19] <nejode> Koeniggsegg: what release are you using?
[01:19] <Halitech> TheStarLion, do you have a thumbdrive? you can copy the output to it
[01:19] <niceonenil> Halitech, i have this file ( bluehack ) as a boot theme , i want to install it
[01:19] <Halitech> quidnunc, what partition says its full?
[01:20] <Koenigsegg> nejode: Ubuntu? Latest, 9....uhm 1?
[01:20] <ssccss> sorry i mean grub loader ... i want some to help me to get ubuntu options
[01:20] <TheStarLion> Halitech: How, exactly? It stops during the normal boot up, at a terminal like screen, and after it says it's terminated, it refuses any commands or input, I can't do anything without a hard reset
[01:20] <Halitech> niceonenil, follow the instructions listed on the site where you got it from
[01:20] <niceonenil> it doesnt  tell any thing
[01:20] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, if you can't remount using mount -o remount,rw you need to reboot
[01:20] <damn_> hi all.. i try to cennect to another jauntybox via ssh over internet... i used "ssh user@wanip" but it doesnt work, y?
[01:20] <simran> Halitech: would you know how to hide a (hidden) recovery partition in ubuntu.. It doesnt show in fstab, so the # method wont work...fdisk -l shows an * under the boot column for that drive i dont want ubuntu to find
[01:20] <Halitech> TheStarLion, rut roh ... did you change the mount points for the second drive?
[01:21] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: You're sure?
[01:21] <Halitech> simran, not off hand but I recall seeing a thread about it on the forum recently
[01:21] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, yes
[01:21] <TheStarLion> Halitech: No, all I did was copy the line for sdb1, an ext3 I use for storage, and changed all sdb1 to sda1, nothing else
[01:21] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, sadly i faced this problem on my server
[01:21] <simran> hak
[01:21] <j2daosh> ok, somehow i managed to botch my partition table
[01:21] <billyjoe> hello, im looking for a ftp client that is able to multithread/multipart a single file. ive been using filezilla but it is unable to do this. any suggestions of ftp clients that can?
[01:21] <simran> Halitech: that was my thread
[01:21] <nejode> Koesigsegg: run.. lsb_release -a
[01:21] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, and was a hardware fault
[01:21] <j2daosh> what is the "chkdsk" of ubuntu?
[01:22] <viniciusfs> j2daosh, fsck
[01:22] <Halitech> TheStarLion, so both drives were pointing to the same mount location?
[01:22] <j2daosh> i tried e2fsck but that didn't do it
[01:22] <Dr_Willis> j2daosh:  what are you wantng to check exactly?
[01:22] <j2daosh> well i dont want to check, i want to fix
[01:22] <Halitech> simran, ahhh, nothing in there to help out yet?
[01:22] <viniciusfs> j2daosh, fsck but file system cant be mounted
[01:22] <j2daosh> the superblock doesn't match the physical space
[01:23] <simran> Halitech:  nope
[01:23] <j2daosh> viniciusfs: well its gonna have to be, no other choice
[01:23] <antonius602> j2doash: ntfs partition?
[01:23] <TheStarLion> Halitech: no, it reads /media/sdb1 for sdb1 one, and /media/sda1 for sda1
[01:23] <simran> when partitioning a drive for ubuntu setup - its it ok to first create an "extended" partition and then create 3 partitions within that for ubuntu
[01:23] <Halitech> simran, bummer
[01:23] <simran> yep
[01:23] <simran> is it*
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> simran:  yes. but normally i do 3 primaries, then a extended(with liogicals) at the end.
[01:23] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: Thanks. I'm just surprised that I have to reboot. I don't understand why that would be necessary.
[01:23] <Koenigsegg> nejode: "No lsb modules are available" But no real error messages either
[01:23] <quidnunc> This is the second time this has happened to me.
[01:23] <TheStarLion> Halitech: Should I just remove the line I added, and see if it boots normally?
[01:24] <Dr_Willis> simran:  windows in the past has had issues not beeing on a primary partition.   Some of my systems just have 4 primaries.
[01:24] <Halitech> TheStarLion, yes, and then we'll go from there
[01:24] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: badblocks turned up nothing last time
[01:24] <nobodyslamb>  I have been trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop from the livecd (32-bit), but I cannot partition my drive (all data on drive may be overwritten).  when I get to the partition setup screen, no buttons other than back and forward are available.
[01:24] <paissad-hp> hi everybody !
[01:24] <nobodyslamb> also, when I open gparted from system-admin->partition editor, it shows no devices, and continues to show no devices when I click refresh. I had vista on here before, but I used a friend's xp disc to wipe the hard drive (so the xp disk could see the drive)
[01:24] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, check your disk for hardware faults, kernel usually locks file system to prevent data loss

[01:26] <nejode> Koenigsegg.... strange!
[01:26] <antonius602> google : ubuntu fix grub
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> simran:  or just leave a part of the drive unallocated and let the installer auto-partition it.    Your setup sounds about what the normal installer does autopmatically .
[01:27] <antonius602> it should be realdily available on several howto's
[01:27] <niceonenil> paissad - hp, no one will help you here    - i have been asking for long time some one to help and i get nothing
[01:27] <simran> im not familiar with the ext filesystem..does it require occasional defrags?
[01:27] <Koenigsegg> nejode: Hey.. Strange is my first name :-]
[01:27] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, im not sure about kernel locking file systems because it was full, try to free some space and remount
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> simran:  if you ever want to 'resize' partitions.. moving space from a primary to a extended/logical can be a bit of a bother.
[01:27] <Halitech> TheStarLion, you did edit the /etc/fstab on the hard drive, not the live cd
[01:27] <_20eric06_> antonius602: GRUB Gnu-like editing enabled etc etc etc
[01:27] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: How would I free some space if I can't mount?
[01:27] <_20eric06_> what do I do here
[01:27] <TheStarLion> Halitech: Yes, I'm quite sure of that, I checked carefully, it even matched the one I'd previously edited
[01:27] <_20eric06_> it's a GRUB prompt
[01:27] <simran> Dr_Willis:  why is that?
[01:28] <ejv> start googling if no one knows the answer niceonenil
[01:28] <_20eric06_> I have my HD mounted
[01:28] <antonius602> _20eric06_: i'll find the link i used
[01:28] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, can you paste your /var/log/messages?
[01:28] <simran> Dr_Willis:  i know one thing, its taking AGES..
[01:28] <antonius602> _20eric06_: hold on a sec
[01:28] <j2daosh> niceonenil: what is your issue?
[01:28] <_20eric06_> antonius602: Can't click right now, sorry
[01:28] <_20eric06_> my mouse is on another computer
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> simran:  because it is. :)   resizing all primaries  is easier..  or the logicsals in an extended..  but now a days. i rarely need to resize.
[01:28] <simran> ok
[01:28] <_20eric06_> Can you just step-by-step me? I'm new at linux
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> simran:  if you are resizing a NTFS - that can take ages.. I found the windows resize partition tools MUCH MUCH faster.
[01:28] <nejode> Koesigsegg: the output of that command should give you the version you're using
[01:29] <Halitech> TheStarLion, ok, whats the last 3 lines on the screen?
[01:29] <_20eric06_> Apparently GRUB loads at boot and all but fails to load HDC1, which has the linux system
[01:29] <_20eric06_> it's installed and all, but doesn't boot
[01:29] <simran> Dr_Willis: damn, i dnt know why i used parted...i was going to use that acronis disc manager
[01:29] <antonius602> http://pastebin.com/m2c03fe81
[01:29] <Dr_Willis> simran:  my normal 'routine' on a new machine (with just windiows) - use windows tools to resize the existing windows parittion. leaving part of the HD unallocated.. let the ubuntu installer install/partition the unallocated space.
[01:29] <antonius602> _20eric06_ : try that
[01:29] <_20eric06_> antonius602 I can't click..
[01:29] <antonius602> the pastebin
[01:29] <nobodyslamb> also, when I do fdisk -l on the livecd, there is no output
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> simran:  i just use the normal windows resize tool. nothing special. normally. (i use it once on each machine :) then install linux)
[01:30] <ejv> just use fdisk people, fdisk /dev/sd_
[01:30] <antonius602> rightclick, openin browser
[01:30] <_20eric06_> antonius602 I don't have a mouse
[01:30] <simran> Dr_Willis:  what option do you select in the installer?
[01:30] <antonius602> damn....that sucks...hold on
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> simran:  whatever one is to use the free/unallocated space..
[01:30] <simran> the last one?
[01:30] <simran> advancd partition or something
[01:30] <ruben23> hi guys any other ways i can enhance my audio and mic voice on ubuntu with a plantronic headset
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> simran: I dont have the installer memorised. :)  the advanced is for manual setting up.. i do that a lot also.
[01:30] <niceonenil> my issue is : iam going to google to find what i need ( all the time the answer or the result is very difficult to be understood) iam looking for some one to help with simple way as any Logical way to teach should be . but i cant  find this way i dont know why ...... all what i need   ( HOW TO FIX MY VISUAL EFFECT TO BE ENABLED , and , HOW TO INSTALL NEW THEMES AND BOOT THEMES )     do you think its too much to get learned  by some one ????
[01:31] <Dr_Willis> simran:  theres one that uses the unallocated 'free' space..
[01:31] <Koenigsegg> nejode: Yes, it did. Sorry if that's what you meant. My bad.. It's Jaunty/9.04
[01:31] <antonius602> _20eric06_ : check personal message
[01:31] <simran> there are 3 options - side by side, whole disc, advanced (you select the parition)
[01:31] <monster> hello
[01:31] <TheStarLion> Halitech: In order, line 1 - "/etc/init.d/rc: 390: /etc/rcS.d/S85urandom: Permission denied" line 2 - "init: Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default: Permission denied" and line 3 - "init: rc-default main process (1812) terminated with status 255"
[01:31] <simran> Dr_Willis:  i dnt remember seeing anything about it automatically making 3 partitions
[01:31] <Halitech> niceonenil, I asked you about the video card and if there was anything listed under hardware drivers and you ignored my post
[01:32] <monster> for NetworkManager, does anyone know where the preshared key is stored for wireless?
[01:32] <niceonenil> what do you want to know about my Video card
[01:32] <TheStarLion> Halitech: at the top of all the error messages, it also says * Cannot initialize /etc/mtab
[01:32] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: It doesn't containing any information (just --MARK--)
[01:32] <monster> I have reset my router and cant connect with encryption because the key is still present
[01:32] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: And not even that since early this morning (when I presume the disk got remount ro)
[01:32] <Halitech> TheStarLion, looks like something happened to rc-default somehow
[01:32] <Stanto> I've attempted to use NetworkManager with Wifi to connect to a WPA / PEAP / MSChapv2 protected access point; however it just re-requests credentials for connecting to the AP each time. Attempting to sudo tail /var/log/messages shows no information. So my question is; what's the best way to diagnose this problem? And could it be that the user needs certain permissions to connect successfully?
[01:33] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: syslog is also uninformative
[01:33] <Dr_Willis> simran:  perhaps you had no unallocated space.. so it dident show the optiuon
[01:33] <nejode> Koesigsegg: sometimes Network Manager "clowns up" and gets funny... if iwconfig starts the interface and lspci identifies it, it should work...
[01:33] <TheStarLion> Halitech: Would using pySDM to automount another partition on the same drive as Jaunty's main and swap partitions affect that?
[01:33] <monster> Stanto: I have the same problem
[01:33] <simran> Dr_Willis: i was just thinking that
[01:33] <monster> Stanto check your wpa_supplicant.log
[01:33] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, any hardware fault on dmesg?
[01:33] <simran> Dr_Willis: does it create a seperate partition for boot and home
[01:33] <nejode> Koesigsegg: try installing wicd
[01:34] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: Yeah, one sec
[01:34] <Halitech> TheStarLion, its possible
[01:34] <ruben23> hi guys any other ways i can enhance my audio and mic voice on ubuntu with a plantronic headset
[01:34] <Stanto> monster: Thanks, didn't think of that at the time. It's on a friend's netbook.
[01:34] <TheStarLion> Halitech: I can try to use the livecd to see if there's a backup of the file, and restore it from the backup, maybe that would help?
[01:34] <monster> Stanto i think there is a workaround
[01:34] <Halitech> niceonenil, did you look in System - admin - hardware drivers to see if there was a driver there you could enable?
[01:34] <monster> if you change the mac address on your wireless router
[01:34] <Halitech> TheStarLion, can't hurt
[01:35] <nejode> Koesigsegg, but be careful, you have to download it first, uninstall NM and install wicd because you'll lose connection
[01:35] <monster> Its a retarded bug, that they have address wrong.
[01:35] <niceonenil> i did
[01:35] <Stanto> monster: Change the mac address on the wireless router to connect to a WPA/PEAP/MSChap AP ?
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> simran:  by default no.  a /boot is rarely needed these days.. a /home partition is handy however
[01:35] <monster> yeah
[01:35] <niceonenil> and there is nothing need to be
[01:35] <TheStarLion> Halitech: Just one problem - where do I find rc-default
[01:35] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: http://dpaste.com/84866/
[01:35] <simran> Dr_Willis: so what partitions does it make>?
[01:35] <monster> Ubuntu, has an old preshared key stored for that mac
[01:35] <Stanto> monster: That isn't possible in this scenario; the AP is not under my control - it's in a business environment.
[01:35] <nejode> Koesigsegg: wait and I'll give you a link
[01:35] <nobodyslamb> Im having a problem installing ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop. Everytime i get to the partition setup and i cant move on or change anything. and ideas/
[01:36] <nobodyslamb> any ideas?*
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> simran:  / and a swap i think, I dont rember. :) i got systems here with 3+ hard drives i always customize.
[01:36] <monster> Stanto: you have to figure out how to remove the preshared key associated with that mac
[01:36] <niceonenil> i see only one thing there which is ( broadcom driver - and its activated )
[01:36] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: I guess that indicates a H/W error
[01:36] <monster> i havent been able to find shit online
[01:36] <HaRDaWaY_> /j pepe
[01:36] <HaRDaWaY_> lol
[01:36] <HaRDaWaY_> :D
[01:36] <Stanto> monster: Are you suggesting that Ubuntu stores a default PSK with the AP by itself that it creates?
[01:36] <monster> yes
[01:36] <monster> CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
[01:36] <monster> Associated with 00:22:75:6e:8c:44
[01:37] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, yes
[01:37] <monster> you should see something like that in the log file i suggested
[01:37] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, it is a server or a workstation?
[01:37] <simran> Dr_Willis:  ah ok...
[01:37] <zaccour> my msi laptop don't work in ubuntu. is there a fix?
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> simran:  when in doubt.. test with things in virtualbox :) thats a good way to explore the installer/partitioning tools.
[01:37] <Stanto> monster: When I've read of problems with this scenario I mention, people have suggested that using wpa_supplicant profiles have worked as opposed to using NetworkManager - have you tried that yourself?
[01:38] <simran> Dr_Willis: whats the purpose of v-box?
[01:38] <monster> I haven't that will probably work, but id rather get it working with networkmanager
[01:38] <cryptopsy> What's the name of that program that you can use as a wrapper to direct open window's positions on the desktop?
[01:38] <nobodyslamb> I have been trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop from the livecd (32-bit), but I cannot partition my drive (all data on drive may be overwritten).  when I get to the partition setup screen, no buttons other than back and forward are available.
[01:38] <nobodyslamb> any ideas?
[01:38] <Halitech> TheStarLion, good question
[01:38] <Wicked> !ntfs
[01:38] <ger> hola alguien habla español¿
[01:38] <monster> it has to be a .conf of some sort for keyring or in .gconf
[01:38] <Stanto> monster: I would agree; admitedly the last time I tried using NetworkManager to connect to an AP like this I was using ArchLinux and I had zero problems.
[01:38] <Wicked> !NTFS-3g
[01:38] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, i dont think you have choices, to remount this file system you will need to reboot your machine. i think is a good time to backup data on this disk, i think it got hardware problems
[01:38] <bazhang> !es | ger
[01:38] <nejode> koesigsegg: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6527/1/
[01:38] <monster> Stanto can you verify that error in your log?
[01:39] <ger> ok
[01:39] <ger> como¿
[01:39] <ger> ?
[01:39] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: server
[01:39] <Halitech> niceonenil, depends on our card .. what video card do you have?
[01:39] <Koenigsegg> nobodyslamb: Just checking here, are the radio buttons higher  up on that page dimmed too?
[01:39] <Stanto> monster: I can't, I don't have the netbook and I'm not in the scenario with the AP at this location.
[01:39] <quidnunc> viniciusfs: Thanks I will bite the bullet and reboot :(
[01:39] <bazhang> ger /join #ubuntu-es
[01:39] <Koenigsegg> nejode: I'll try it right away. Thanks a lot for helping.
[01:39] <monster> gotcha
[01:39] <monster> yeah, try a different network manager
[01:39] <niceonenil> its intel
[01:39] <monster> that will probably fix it
[01:39] <TheStarLion> Halitech: Found it - for referance, /etc/event.d/rc-default
[01:40] <Halitech> TheStarLion, ok, will try to remember that
[01:40] <monster> im gonna keep digging on where the psk is stored
[01:40] <Stanto> monster: Frankly, the person whose laptop it is will probably wipe it and switch to Windows because of this.
[01:40] <TheStarLion> Halitech: But... no backup, at least not a visible one
[01:40] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, make backups, if possible check (and maybe change) your hardware to prevent data loss
[01:40] <niceonenil> iam working with dell 1525 inspiron
[01:40] <nejode> koesigsegg: sure man, that's the idea here
[01:40] <Halitech> TheStarLion, crap ... can you edit the file? or at least look at it?
[01:40] <monster> Stanto: pretty unforunate, i wish i new exactly how to fix it
[01:40] <viniciusfs> quidnunc, i've got this problem in a oracle server :|
[01:40] <TheStarLion> Halitech: Can do, will put in a pastebin for you
[01:40] <monster> How much time do you have? cause i might be able to solve in soonish
[01:40] <Halitech> niceonenil, open a terminal and paste the output of lspci
[01:41] <ve3txz> hello all..   i have a dumb question, running 9.10 karmic, have palimpsest disk utility telling me that i have a read fail, when i try to do a selftest  i get authentication required,  how do i log xwin in as root?? i have no root user set up
[01:41] <zaccour> my msi laptop don't work in ubuntu. is there a fix?
[01:41] <simran> may i ask how old people are here...where they are from, what do they do etc
[01:41] <niceonenil> wait wait
[01:41] <simran> take a break
[01:41] <simran> lol
[01:41] <jatt> Hi, I do have a laptop running 2.6.30. cpufreq-info reports:
[01:41] <jatt>  analyzing CPU 0:
[01:41] <jatt>  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
[01:41] <jatt> does this mean the kernel will use the highest frequency all the time?
[01:41] <FloodBot2> jatt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:41] <jatt> This is a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T5450  @ 1.66GHz
[01:41] <Stanto> monster: I'm going to look it up a bit more online, but beyond that there's not much I can do about it right now.
[01:41] <TheStarLion> Halitech: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/259025/
[01:42] <niceonenil> its Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller
[01:42] <monster> Give me a few minutes, ill see if i can find a solution
[01:42] <Sirmimer> Hi, i need help installing "ventrilo", the right way.
[01:42] <bazhang> !intel | niceonenil
[01:42] <alexnet> What would be a good way to send a single console command to my linux box? Ideally I'd like to be able to save it and run it from my windows machine, so I would need to login, run a command, and logout.
[01:43] <Halitech> TheStarLion, ookkkk, way over my head ... does the live cd have a repair option?
[01:43] <TheStarLion> Halitech: I think so, gotta have a look
[01:43] <Halitech> !intel | niceonenil,
[01:44] <vede> Oh wow, 1282 users.
[01:44] <vede>  O_O
[01:44] <hbx> the repair option is more like ur fucked option
[01:44] <vede> And only one op.
[01:44] <IdleOne> vede: it's slow tonight
[01:44] <Bllasae> vede: I JUST thought the same thing
[01:44] <Halitech> TheStarLion, I think its called repair a broken system or something like that
[01:44] <bazhang> hbx, please watch the language
[01:44] <vede> That's almost scary.
[01:44] <hbx> opps...
[01:44] <niceonenil> ok - and how to install new themes
[01:44] <hbx> my bad
[01:45] <vede> So...
[01:45] <bazhang> niceonenil, download the tar.gz and drag to the theme manager
[01:45] <vede> I'm thinking about installing Ubuntu again.
[01:45] <TheStarLion> Halitech: no, not on this one, I have try without change, install, check disc for defects, test memory, boot from first hard disk. Unless it's hidden in other options somehow?
[01:45] <Etherael> Anyone know what might cause grails not to create the associated rdbms tables for a given domain class?
[01:45] <niceonenil> what file exactly i should drag to the theme manager ?
[01:45] <Guest13469> una consulta en que red me meto para entrar a la red del irc.cl
[01:45] <Halitech> TheStarLion, must have been an older version then cause I remember seeing it but haven't done an install in awhile
[01:46] <djanatyn> Yay! Just installed Ubuntu on my PowerPC for the first time :)
[01:46] <monster> Stanto: brb, testing a solution
[01:46] <niceonenil> i see file with extention of   XML        and  DESKTOP
[01:46] <IdleOne> !es | Guest13469
[01:46] <Guest13469> una consulta en que red me meto para entrar a la red del irc.cl
[01:46] <Halitech> TheStarLion, can you boot into single user mode (recovery mode)?
[01:46] <TheStarLion> Halitech: well, I guess I'll have to use it to backup, then reinstall, I assume I can just install Jaunty over Jaunty?
[01:46] <TheStarLion> Halitech: No, same problem then too
[01:46] <niceonenil> and my themes installer by it self doesnt work
[01:47] <nejode> Guest13469: entra en #ubuntu-cl
[01:47] <Halitech> TheStarLion, dang .... yeah, if you have a seperate /home use the manual partitioning option and you can reuse the partitions you already have setup
[01:47] <Halitech> TheStarLion, if not, might be a good time to create a seperate /home partition ;)
[01:48] <fatherb>  Hello~ I installed ubuntu the other night, and its dual booted with windows xp.. I had gone on xp to install a few drivers for usb devices on there and rebooted to go back to linux, and everytime now, it goes through a few images and ends up stopping on this. http://i26.tinypic.com/oh1ldy.jpg
[01:48] <Lars_G> s-up?
[01:48] <TheStarLion> Halitech: Just what I was thinking... thanks for your help
[01:48] <Halitech> TheStarLion, no problem, sorry you have to reinstall but at least its faster then windows
[01:48] <Lars_G> Small question, how do you change the entries on the netbook remix ui?
[01:48] <djanatyn> Could I have some help real quick?
[01:49] <djanatyn> It's about partitioning...
[01:49] <hbx> anyway to get turbo mode enabled on ubuntu
[01:49] <acicula> djanatyn: ask
[01:49] <Halitech> Lars_G, ohhh, screwy video card drivers
[01:49] <IdleOne> hbx: what is turbo mode?
[01:49] <Lars_G> hbx: .... turbo mode? like old 486 machines?
[01:49] <acicula> hbx: turbo mode of nehalems is on the fly i think
[01:49] <Lars_G> Halitech: eh?
[01:49] <monster> Stanto: I have a solution
[01:49] <hbx> well on my msi wind it has a turbo mode
[01:50] <Stanto> monster: wow
[01:50] <djanatyn> 3
[01:50] <Halitech> Lars_G, video card drivers are sending info the monitor can't handle
[01:50] <monster> Stanto: rm -rf /home/monster/.gconf/system/networking
[01:50] <djanatyn> 435
[01:50] <Lars_G> Halitech: ... is this a problem you have?
[01:50] <monster> replace monster with his username
[01:50] <monster> and have him try it agian
[01:50] <hbx> http://forums.msiwind.net/mac/how-you-turn-turbo-mode-t4610.html
[01:50] <Halitech> Lars_G, no but I've had it before recently, think it was on an old SiS video card
[01:50] <Stanto> monster: thanks I'll have a go with it when I see her next week
[01:51] <djanatyn> I just got the Ubuntu Live CD, and I need to partition my hard drive.
[01:51] <monster> Cool, good luck
[01:51] <monster> you should call her before she installs windows
[01:51] <djanatyn> I'm in Ubuntu now, but I want to keep OS X alive.
[01:51] <credobyte> does anybody know what happened with help.ubuntu.com ? :/
[01:51] <Halitech> Lars_G, sorry, that should have been for fatherb
[01:51] <monster> =)
[01:51] <IdleOne> credobyte: page loaded fine here
[01:52] <Halitech> fatherb, ohhh, screwy video card drivers ... video card drivers are sending info the monitor can't handle
[01:52] <Stanto> monster: no fear of that, she asked me to be the one to install it ;)
[01:52] <fatherb> Any way I can fix that?
[01:52] <credobyte> IdleOne: The requested URL could not be retrieved. Damn, am I the only one who gets this error ?
[01:52] <Halitech> fatherb, do you know what video card you have?
[01:52] <Lars_G> Small question, how do you change the entries on the netbook remix ui?
[01:52] <monster> Stanto: rad, also, if all else fails, reinstalling ubuntu will fix it.
[01:52] <fatherb> Yeah, a crappy ass radeon 9250 >_>
[01:52] <monster> but im pretty sure what i told you will work
[01:53] <monster> it just worked for me
[01:53] <carrie_555> I'm having some trouble setting a static local IP. My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: http://paste.uni.cc/20174 What should I do ?
[01:53] <Stanto> monster: it was a fresh install and first time accessing the AP to my knowledge
[01:53] <Halitech> fatherb, I had a 9600 that worked fine ... did you install any drivers or is this after the first reboot after installing?
[01:53] <monster> hmm
[01:53] <credobyte> IdleOne: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ - this one will fail .. main page seems to be up.
[01:53] <monster> gl :D
[01:53] <monster> im out
[01:53] <Stanto> haha laters =)
[01:53] <fatherb> I was running it fine earlier, went into windows for a bit to install some games, rebooted to go back to linux and that started happening
[01:54] <_20eric06_> guys do I need a second partition for grub?
[01:54] <_20eric06_> or should it go right into my linux partition?
[01:54] <Halitech> fatherb, try going into single usermode and running xfix
[01:54] <hal_9> hi, i dist-upgrade my karmic and now it wont boot X, it says "no screens found", geforce 6600 and a TFT-Monitor, any ideas, please?
[01:54] <genii> _20eric06_: It goes on the MBR and no sub-partition
[01:54] <Halitech> hal_9, how did you upgrade karmic? its still in beta
[01:55] <ublender> i cannot get ubuntu to detect my kodak ez200 webcam, despite compiling the gspca module from source, as suggested in several places online. any ideas?
[01:55] <hal_9> Halitech, its the latest alpha and i did every day an apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:55] <_20eric06_> genii: What device should that be? I can't install GRUB
[01:56] <hal_9> okay, i shouldnt complain of course, its alpha ;-)
[01:56] <Halitech> hal_9, best to ask in the 9.10 channel
[01:56] <Halitech> !9.10
[01:56] <hal_9> Halitech, oh, thank you :-)
[01:56] <Halitech> hal_9, np
[01:56] <genii> _20eric06_: If you have only 1 hard drive it will be /dev/sda
[01:57] <ve3txz> hal_9  had same issue,  open synaptic, remove all broken ,  mark all upgrades  then reinstall the latest driver from nvidia..   worked for me
[01:57] <_20eric06_> genii: hdc1?
[01:57] <_20eric06_> it's my only hard drive
[01:57] <_20eric06_> I don't think I have sda
[01:57] <genii> _20eric06_: If you try to install for instance to a sub-partition (like /dev/sda1) you will bork things
[01:57] <_20eric06_> But it won't let me install anywhere
[01:58] <_20eric06_> Look, I'm asking here because there is nowhere else to ask, and there is barely any people here active so I don't see why I can't get any help for my DamnSmallLinux, so I'll start off saying that no, I'm not using Ubuntu
[01:58] <genii> _20eric06_: What reports result of: sudo fdisk -l               (please use pastebin and don dump the output into this channel)
[01:59] <_20eric06_> I can't pastebin anything, the machine is virtually innacessible
[01:59] <bazhang> _20eric06_, #dsl for damnsmalllinux support or ##linux
[01:59] <_20eric06_> I want to install DSL into the HD to use NDISWRAPPER on my USB wifi adaptor
[01:59] <Halitech> _20eric06_, I think DSL is using an older kernel so it will probably be /dev/hda but check with dsl support
[01:59] <_20eric06_> It's /dev/hdc
[02:00] <_20eric06_> but grub-install /dev/hdc won't work somehow...
[02:00] <bazhang> _20eric06_, this is ubuntu support only.
[02:00] <_20eric06_> hda doesn't exist, my HD is on the secondary IDE slot
[02:00] <_20eric06_> makes it hdc
[02:00] <ripper> #
[02:00] <ripper>     /msg nickserv set hidemail on
[02:01] <_20eric06_> Says "could not find device for /boot"
[02:01] <_20eric06_> I dunno what to do here
[02:01] <bazhang> _20eric06_, this is an Ubuntu installation?
[02:01] <_20eric06_> Sheesh.
[02:01] <_20eric06_> I'll repeat myself...
[02:01] <_20eric06_> There is nowhere else to ask
[02:01] <_20eric06_> the damnsmalllinux channel is empty and dead
[02:01] <bazhang> _20eric06_, that is a no?
[02:02] <_20eric06_> No, it's a:
[02:02] <_20eric06_> the damnsmalllinux channel is empty and dead
[02:02] <mnaines> _20eric06_: Attitude problems will get you nowhere in this room
[02:02] <bazhang> _20eric06_, well that is not our concern, you can try their forums or ##linux ; dsl is not supported here. Please desist.
[02:02] <Halitech> _20eric06_, clarify 1 thing for me, you want to install dsl so you can use ndiswrapper so you can get your wireless working in Ubuntu?
[02:04] <simran> does anyone know much about video codecS?
[02:04] <acicula> just ask simran
[02:04] <simran> is mplayer-mt as sufficient as using coreavc
[02:04] <IdleOne> credobyte: sorry took so long to respond, looks like it isn't just you who can't reach that page, not exactly sure why.
[02:05] <simran> i basically want to know --> http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html  <-- which method listed in the first post is the better one
[02:05] <tangke> video codes such as mpeg 1,mpeg 2, mpeg 4, I know little
[02:06] <formolQC> hi, what is simplest way to do persistent installation on usb drive?
[02:06] <Polterge|st> does anyone know where to get a CD audio source plugin for totem ?
[02:06] <Polterge|st> just for the sake of being able to play my CD's in totem. I have nearly every other codec except that one
[02:07] <mnaines> Halitech: I feel for eric's pain, though...Most of Yahoo's chat rooms are dead or dying and the ones that aren't are full of either hackers or identity thieves
[02:07] <brutus> hi , can anyone tell me how i can compile a kernel if i have proprietary drivers install on my box ?
[02:07] <raboof_> !kernel | brutus
[02:08] <brutus> ty
[02:08] <Halitech> mnaines, I agree and thats why I stay here to help out
[02:08] <mnaines> Halitech, but you did not help out...You shunned him because he wasn't using Ubuntu
[02:08] <Polterge|st> has anyone else had the problem of not being able to play CD's in totem ?
[02:08] <yxz97> shit
[02:08] <Halitech> mnaines, ahhhh no, I was trying to help out
[02:08] <yxz97> Hello there
[02:09] <bazhang> yxz97, please watch the language
[02:09] <yxz97> Is there any app in ubuntu to format a Flac or WAv to mp3 files ?
[02:09] <Halitech> mnaines, bazhang was the one trying to get him to go elsewhere
[02:09] <mnaines> Halitech: You're right...My bad
[02:09] <Polterge|st> yxz97, I just finished scouring synaptic and it has a few although I looked at every package in synaptic so I can't tell you the name offhand
[02:10] <Polterge|st> I verbosely finished installing every codec I could without breaking any dependencies or installing anything that wouldn't be used
[02:10] <yxz97> Polterge|st, what?
[02:10] <Halitech> mnaines, no worries, I've installed it a few times so kinda know whats going on
[02:10] <raboof_> yxz97: ffmpeg
[02:10] <Polterge|st> yxz97, search synaptic package manager for it
[02:10] <yxz97> raboof_, has a friendly UI ?
[02:10] <numberGrey> anyone got a good recommendation for a cheap laptop that runs ubuntu well?
[02:10] <mnaines> Halitech: I'm new to Linux myself, but I'm trying to teach myself everything...
[02:10] <Polterge|st> I just want to be able to play CD's in totem
[02:10] <Halitech> yxz97, audacity will allow you to export to mp3
[02:10] <Polterge|st> I don't know where to get that CD audio source plugin
[02:11] <harry> hello all i am trying to get video
[02:11] <harry> and am having difficulty
[02:11] <mnaines> Halitech: I was a Windows fanboy since the Windows 3.x/MS-DOS shell days
[02:11] <Halitech> mnaines, been using it for over 3 years but still lots to learn
[02:11] <Halitech> mnaines, I was never a fanboy but I used it since DOS 5
[02:11] <brutus> guys links dont work : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[02:11] <mnaines> In June of this year, I moved over to Ubuntu full time after it got too expensive to keep feeding the Vista pig
[02:11] <bazhang> mnaines, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:12] <yxz97> Halitech, audacyti how ?
[02:12] <Guest6608> I have downloaded the gnash, gstreamer, Macromedia but still cant watch online tv.. ( usanetwork.com)
[02:12] <Polterge|st> your best solution is to dual boot and migrate licenses and proprietary codecs from your install of windows into Ubuntu with the other open source codecs. If you do it correctly there isn't much that Ubuntu won't play
[02:12] <mnaines> bazhang, don't be so naive.  You were the one who refused to help a person because he wasn't using ubuntu, so why should I, as another Linux user, be willing to listen to you if you will not show respect?
[02:13] <Polterge|st> Ubuntu is incredibly versatile when it comes to codecs I think. They just have to be installed correctly
[02:13] <Polterge|st> I'm "sure" totem will play CD's
[02:13] <Polterge|st> I just can't find the right plugin to do it
[02:13] <brutus> anyone having problems using grub2 ?
[02:13] <Halitech> yxz97, open the file then export as an mp3 but you need lame installed
[02:13] <SuperMiguel> whats the best raid 0 stripe size to install ubuntu?
[02:13] <bazhang> mnaines, this is Ubuntu support only. please take chat elsewhere thanks
[02:13] <Halitech> Polterge|st, did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[02:13] <Polterge|st> yep
[02:13] <Polterge|st> I installed all of the gstreamer plugins
[02:13] <Polterge|st> even the non-free
[02:13] <lunahyen> hello
[02:13] <Polterge|st> medibuntu etc
[02:14] <gEn_Eterm> alguien de ubuntu panama?
[02:14] <Polterge|st> I have everything except fluendo mux and demux
[02:14] <mdg> Polterge|st: what app were you trying to use to play cds?
[02:14] <Polterge|st> and I even have a newer ffmpeg than what is in any of the repositories
[02:14] <mnaines> bazhang: Listen up and listen good, because I'm only saying this once...Most of the other Linux support rooms are dead or dying...Nobody has anyplace to go but here anymore, so even non-Ubuntu users come here for support because this room is the only active Linux room.
[02:14] <Polterge|st> mdg totem
[02:14] <brutus> anyone dual boot win7 and ubuntu 9.04 with grub 2 ?
[02:14] <mdg> Polterge|st: VLC plays anything
[02:14] <Polterge|st> yeah I do use VLC alot
[02:15] <Guest6608> Can someone help me,  I am trying to watch usanetwork.com but the video doesnt play I have downloaded gnash, macromedia, and gstreamer but nothing is working??
[02:15] <Polterge|st> I even downloaded all of the available plugins for it too lol
[02:15] <lunahyen> I need help with internet sharing, I have a laptop with wifi, which is getting the internet, is running ubuntu. I have an older laptop which i want internet going to via ethernet. Attaching the computers with the ethernet ends up killing the wireless internet on the ubuntu laptop. Any ideas?
[02:15] <bazhang> mnaines, this is not up for debate; please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to continue this
[02:15] <mdg> Guest6608: what are you using to try and watch usanetwork.com?
[02:16] <mnaines> Sheesh...People these days...
[02:16] <lunahyen> My only problem is that pluggin in ethernet stops the wifi connection, how do I prevent this?
[02:16] <mnaines> Halitech: you see what I have to deal with on a regular basis in Yahoo chat?
[02:16] <mm_202> For a 1GHz VIA C3 w/ 1GB RAM, what what be 'faster', Xubuntu 8.10, or 9.04?
[02:17] <Guest6608> Im not sure.. I jsut downloaded all the players and none of them are working
[02:17] <mnaines> This isn't an exclusive "members-only" club...I hate it when people think it is
[02:17] <brutus> ok next problem - anyone uses leadtek dtv2000h ? i have sound problems no sound at all
[02:17] <bazhang> !ot > mnaines
[02:17] <acicula> !restricted
[02:17] <Halitech> mm_202, Xubuntu 8.04 would be better
[02:17] <mnaines> What private message?  I have Bot Sentry enabled
[02:17] <acicula> (apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras)
[02:17] <craigbass1976> I just did something a little scary.  Without ever being prompted for a password, I got into the grub menu, booted to recovery mode, and reset the user password.  How do I stop myself from doing this in the future?
[02:18] <mdg> Guest6608: what specific link on usanetwork.com you trying to watch?
[02:18] <yxz97> can anyone help configure audacity and mp3 support ?
[02:18] <yxz97> thanks in advance ..
[02:18] <arand> mnaines: This channel _does_ have a problem with being over-crowded, hence the nothing-but-ubuntu-support policy.
[02:18] <mm_202> Halitech: I actually only 8.10, if I have to bother to DL 8.04 or 9.04, should I DL 8.04, or just install 8.10?
[02:18] <Guest6608> on there homepage its blue with a black box bottom right.. I want to watch royal pains
[02:18] <mnaines> arand: I would rather it be overcrowded and people get the help they need than this place be a ghost town and nobody gets help
[02:19] <Halitech> mm_202, if you already have it downloaded then go with 8.10
[02:19] <brutus> sry guys ubuntu support sucks cya
[02:19] <terry2> list
[02:20] <mdg> Guest6608: did the little commercial play right above "royal pains?"
[02:20] <Polterge|st> "ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version."
[02:20] <Guest6608> No nothing is playing
[02:20] <Polterge|st> that is what I get in the terminal checking the restricted extras thing
[02:20] <Halitech> mnaines, you should have 1 from me
[02:21] <mm_202> Halitech: thank you!
[02:21] <Guest6608> I have a dark grey one inch wide toolbar on top where there used to be an advertizement
[02:21] <juan__> hola
[02:21] <juan__> hola
[02:21] <Halitech> arand, it might be crowded but have you noticed how many actually speak in here?
[02:21] <mdg> Guest6608: you have firefox?  Is it setup to use mplayer plugin?
[02:21] <juan__> q pasa
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> !es | juan__
[02:21] <Guest6608> I am using firefox and how do I checik to see fi it is setup?
[02:22] <lunahyen> i'm uploading a schematic of what I want to do

[02:23] <mdg> Guest6608: mplayer-plugin for videos, etc.
[02:23] <bobo> hey guys, i just did an update today, and it added this bookmarks section to my menu>places option, and i dont like it. how do i change it
[02:23] <arand> Halitech: mnaines: The problem is that the support spectrum here is too broad, I do think #ubuntu would benefit from demarcation rather than "moar! moar!"
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> bobo:  odd - i dont see any 'bookmarns' in  'places'
[02:24] <mnaines> arand: Clearly you do not understand that this is the only place Linux users can get help
[02:24] <bobo> hmmm
[02:24] <bobo> idk how it got there
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> bobo:  you dident drag/drop a bookmarks directory over to the sidebar?
[02:25] <Guest6608> the advertizement came back at the top of the page but the ad above royal pains is still black
[02:25] <lunahyen> I want my wifi-enabled laptop to host internet to my non-wifi laptop with an ethernet cable. But the host computer's wifi connection cuts out once it connects to the other computer, which means no internet. Here is a map of what i'm doing. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3650/wantschematic.jpg
[02:25] <bobo> I doubt it, but i dont see an option to get rid of this thing

[02:27] <nation> what is the comand i need to type to intall bridge utils
[02:27] <Halitech> arand, we support every app that is installable in Ubuntu now so its hard to say what we should and shouldn't support as it is
[02:27] <nation> i forgot what it was :(
[02:28] <mm_202> Guys, if Im installing Ubuntu (Xubuntu, actaully) onto a CF II card (as the main HD), what filesystem would be best, and any particular options?
[02:28] <acicula> mm_202: ext2 probably
[02:28] <mdg> Guest6608: having any luck?
[02:28] <Guest6608> no
[02:28] <konflict> Hello all, can anyone help me with oidentd?  It is listening on ipv4 only but not ipv6.  I tried doing "sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1" and restarting oidentd but that didn't do it..  I seem to remember it was some kind of sysctl command but apparently not the one I tried
[02:29] <mm_202> acalvo: aww, I was hoping for something cool like ext4 =)
[02:29] <Guest6608> still same

[02:30] <mdg> Guest6608: PM me

[02:45] <lmoretti> Hi- Having issues with Rubyripper not finishing- it seems to always hang on the last track.  Anyone have any ideas?
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> Quarterstaff:  as a test. you could disable compiz and see if it still does it. I guess
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> Quarterstaff:  that will prove if its a Compiz issue or not
[02:46] <abdul> mac mini g4 1.42 ppc ati 9200

[02:46] <Halitech> JoeSomebody, if you are currently trying the live cd to install, maybe try the alt install cd instead, I find it works in cases where the live cd doesn't
[02:46] <jatt> hi, how do I tell if the cpu of my laptop supports frequency scaling?
[02:46] <abdul> Dr. thanks
[02:47] <bobbyd> hi how do i stop the screensaver asking for a password when i move the mouse or touch the keyboard?
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> abdul:  my iMAC-DV is now a nice doorstop for the time beeing. :)
[02:47] <Halitech> jatt, what laptop?
[02:47] <abdul> jajajajajaj
[02:48] <bobbyd> jatt: add the "cpu frequency scaling monitor" applet to your panel and try to change the frequency? :)
[02:49] <jatt> bobbyd: the applet says it is not supported, however I wonder if there is a list or documentation to see if the processor itself has this feature
[02:50] <JoeSomebody> Halitech thanks
[02:50] <Halitech> jatt, what laptop do you have?
[02:50] <kpkudi> how do i switch to gdm using the command line
[02:50] <jatt> dell inspiron 1525, with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 (dual core).
[02:51] <bobbyd> jatt: I'd bet that it does
[02:51] <SuperMiguel> whats the best tool to find my HD transfer rate?
[02:52] <bobbyd> SuperMiguel: hdparm -T /dev/<your_device>
[02:52] <bobbyd> actuall, that should be -t
[02:52] <RagnarokAngel> alright, I tried to install adobe-flashplugin without removing the one from the repos
[02:53] <RagnarokAngel> and now I'm getting quite the error message something about the package being in a "very bad and inconsistent state"
[02:53] <bobbyd> jatt: you can get a list of processor features using cat /proc/cpuinfo
[02:53] <jatt> yes, it's not an very ancient cpu so I guess it should I tried to load acpi_cpufreq but I don't see changes in the cpu load
[02:53] <SuperMiguel> bobbyd, how accurate are those results?
[02:53] <jatt> bobbyd: thanks, it says:
[02:53] <jatt> power management:
[02:53] <bobbyd> SuperMiguel: pretty good
[02:53] <jatt> without any value on the right
[02:53] <bobbyd> jatt: yes, mine too and it *does* have frequency scaling :)
[02:54] <bobbyd> (which is working...)
[02:54] <RagnarokAngel> I attempted to run the command sudo dpkg -r --force-all and it *still* won't uninstall...
[02:54] <jatt> yes actually another laptop (amd64) says same thing and it uses powernow or something like that for scaling
[02:54] <bobbyd> SuperMiguel: run it a few times to make sure
[02:56] <SuperMiguel> bobbyd, what are u getting?
[02:56] <bobbyd> jatt: more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
[02:56] <bobbyd> SuperMiguel: ummm, let me chekc :)
[02:57] <json> i have a dell mini 10v with the slim dell wireless 1510 a/g/n card. ubuntu detects it as a broadcom and i installed the STA restricted driver but it doesn't pick up any access points. lspci reports it as: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller. anyone experience these issues or know why network manager doesnt list anything?
[02:57] <bobbyd> SuperMiguel: between 115MB/sec and 118MB/sec
[02:57] <HBXv6> json are you on intrepid
[02:58] <jatt> bobbyd: hm. it says:
[02:58] <jatt> 1667000 1333000 1000000
[02:58] <SuperMiguel> bobbyd, u using single hd? right
[02:58] <json> HBXv6: im on jaunty
[02:58] <jatt> so probably my problem is in userspace and not the kernel?
[02:58] <bobbyd> json: have you tried "iwlist <device> scanning"
[02:58] <HBXv6> hmm
[02:58] <json> eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[02:58] <bobbyd> SuperMiguel: yep, a sata drive
[02:58] <bobbyd> looks like it
[02:58] <bobbyd> one other thing
[02:59] <bobbyd> jatt: /proc/cpuinfo will actually show different frequencies depending on the current rate of the CPU
[02:59] <bobbyd> so try loading the CPU and seeing if ti changs
[02:59] <bobbyd> changes even
[03:00] <RagnarokAngel> srsly, this dpkg issue is driving me insane
[03:00] <fatherb> My screen gets all jumbled when I start up ubuntu 9.04, I tried xfix but it did nothing
[03:00] <bobbyd> fatherb: did it work at any point, or has it always been this way, and what do you mean by jumbpled? :)
[03:00] <json> i have an eth1 device i think was added by the STA driver
[03:00] <nErVe> try this http://xkcd.com/619/
[03:00] <HBXv6> json check your dmesg logs
[03:01] <HBXv6> for any confilcts

[03:03] <bazhang> ted__, please ask a question first
[03:03] <json> HBXv6: dell wireless 1510
[03:03] <Halitech> celthunder, old ati card (9250 I think he said)
[03:03] <fatherb> yeah
[03:03] <bobbyd> that's not a X problem, that's a driver problem, or bad hardware, but if it's working under windows that shouldn't be the problem. What graphics card is it?
[03:03] <fatherb> radeon 9250
[03:04] <bobbyd> fatherb: if you haven't done anything, reinstall. Better than messing about trying to find out what's wrong.
[03:04] <damn_> how do i get programs to start on boot by console-command?
[03:04] <celthunder> Halitech, fatherb ah sorry man just got here.  ati drivers or the open source ones?
[03:04] <bobbyd> I mean, fi you haven;t done a lot of work under ubuntu
[03:05] <fatherb> Yeah, I think i'll be reinstalling it
[03:05] <fatherb> hopefully that'll sort it out
[03:05] <json> HBXv6: there is a grayed out section called "wireless networks" in network manager but nothing is listed beneath it
[03:05] <bobbyd> probablby faster than messing about trying to fix it
[03:05] <fatherb> yeah
[03:05] <gst> how cAn i start learning about xserver?
[03:05] <fatherb> I'll be back if it doesn't help~
[03:06] <HBXv6> you need to restart your wireless

[03:06] <json> how can i do that
[03:06] <bobbyd> fatherb: np
[03:06] <omac> Here's an observation about installing ubuntu on a windows harddrive through wubi.  I installed it on a friends laptop.  It installed a grub ok with a windows/ubuntu boot menu.  ubuntu works fine.  windows works fine.  The only scary part was when installing it made a swap partition automatically, but it didn't ask me where it was going to put it.  It didn't tell me where it was going to put the swap partition either.  Can someone confirm wubi
[03:06] <omac>  created a linux swap file on the windows partition?  I didn't see it's location because the window was too small.  I only noticed it being installed on /dev/hda somewhere.
[03:06] <FoolsRun> Hi, does anyone know if the "nice" command, if run before a mysqldump command that connets to a remote server, will treat the remote server "nicely"?
[03:06] <HBXv6> json : /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:06] <HBXv6> in the terminal
[03:07] <HBXv6> sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
[03:07] <HBXv6> replace eth0 with the interface of your wireless
[03:07] <json> HBXv6: both sets of commands?
[03:07] <bobbyd> omac: as far as i know, WUBI operates inside mounted files that reside on the windows drive, so although ti looked like it was creating a partition, that would have been *inside* a single file on the eindoes drive
[03:07] <celthunder> foolsrun it would not take all the resources on your comp...it doesnt care about the server
[03:07] <bobbyd> omac: i could be wrong, but that's my understanding
[03:07] <mnaines> json: Wireless should come up as wlan0 or wifi0
[03:08] <omac> thanks bobbyd.  That's my understanding also.
[03:08] <FoolsRun> celthunder: so I'd have to ssh to the remote server and run mysqldump locally there and.. I dunno, scp the file back or something, to do what I want.
[03:08] <HBXv6> no do ifdown to disable wifi and ifup to bring it back up
[03:08] <celthunder> FoolsRun, yeah that'd work.
[03:08] <mnaines> HBXv6: ifdown will not work without an interface label
[03:08] <abdul> hi i found this for ati xf86-video-ati-6.12.2
[03:08] <mnaines> HBXv6: the actual command is ifconfig (interface) down
[03:09] <HBXv6> use ifconfig to see your interfaces
[03:09] <bobbyd> omac: it would be, as they say around here, "completely fscking mental" if it were creating partitoins without asking.
[03:09] <FoolsRun> celthunder: thanks!
[03:09] <Auron> anyone know of a program to Remote Desktop to a windows PC?
[03:09] <bobbyd> Auron: Internet->Terminal server client
[03:09] <json>  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart          Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.              sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0        ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
[03:09] <Auron> wow my bad...
[03:09] <gst> anyone any idea about xserver?
[03:10] <Auron> didn't realize that did windows
[03:10] <abdul> some ppc user
[03:10] <HBXv6> like i said replace eth0 with your wireless cards interface by using ifconfig
[03:10] <bobbyd> why of course :)
[03:10] <json> sudo ifdown eth1 ifdown: interface eth1 not configured
[03:10] <bobbyd> abdul: just ask your question
[03:10] <json> its listed as eth1 in ifconfig
[03:11] <mnaines> json: Type sudo ifconfig eth1 down
[03:11] <HBXv6> well it works fine for me
[03:11] <gst> how can i start programming apps on x server?
[03:11]  * HBXv6 yawns
[03:11] <json> HBXv6: sorry
[03:11] <bobbyd> gst: are you using gnome?
[03:12] <abdul> ok how to use a repository file
[03:12] <gst> yes
[03:12] <omac> gst:  crack open some books from x.org or read the sample apps from x.org.
[03:12] <sudobash> Here is a question that has been bugging me for a while... If modified xboxes that run linux can play movies with nearly perfect picture then why does ubuntu jump and have distortion so much? Xboxes were 733 mhz and had 64 mb ram and my PC running Ubuntu is 20 times the power of this...
[03:12] <bobbyd> gst, what language would you like to use? Python is a good choice for simple apps
[03:12] <grumete> ow exactly how to read it.
[03:12] <omac> gst: best place to start is the sample x application source code from x.org
[03:13] <bobbyd> sudobash: what kind of "distortion" ae you talking about?
[03:13] <gst> for my project i need to work on display manager
[03:13] <sudobash> jumpy video
[03:13] <gst> hello............
[03:13] <sudobash> blocks of distortion
[03:13] <xlene> sudobash i have no issues with divx or dvds at all on my pc
[03:13] <sudobash> all kinds of stuff video freezing and audio not
[03:13] <bobbyd> sudobash: sounds like your pc is busted, mine is fine :)
[03:13] <sudobash> what about flv?
[03:14] <sudobash> PC is not busted it has been like this on 3 or 4 pc's gah
[03:14] <sudobash> that was a stupid comment... PC is busted....
[03:14] <abdul> some one how i use this xf86-video-ati-6.12.2
[03:14] <_Kamokow_> I set shoutcast to autostart using Preferences -> Startup Programs, and it doesnt startup >_>
[03:14] <bobbyd> gst: please describe exactly what you want to do
[03:15] <bazhang> sudobash, this is with flv especially, or all vids
[03:15] <sudobash> dude my brother has a quad core and 8 gb ram and he wont use ubuntu cause of this stupid problem

[03:15] <bazhang> sudobash, what card and what driver, what version of ubuntu
[03:15] <sudobash> i want him to get off windows cause he turned me onto linux 12 years ago
[03:15] <bobbyd> sudobash: My pc's have always played video fine (inclluding my modded xbox, but it's no different)
[03:15] <moyoyo1> can anybody tell me how to connect to a wireless network throug terminal ??
[03:15] <bobbyd> sudobash: what player do you use?
[03:15] <sudobash> yes xboxes work fine
[03:16] <rogerotis> Can someone help me out, I am having some issues with wine/wine-doors in ubuntu.
[03:16] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 moyoyo1 missed you earlier
[03:16] <js0n> can you ifdown an inteface if youre using network manager?
[03:16] <rogerotis> It's seems as if Anytime I run either or, my system bogs down to the point I can't use it, and have to wait about 4 minutes before my system works it self out of it, I originally thought it was a problem with steam, but realized it was wine that was doing it to me when trying to configure it, Does anyone have any recomendations.
[03:16] <sudobash> vlc movieplayer xbmc (linux) elisa
[03:16] <sudobash> totem...
[03:16] <bobbyd> js0n: disable network manager /etc/init.d/Networkmanager stop
[03:16] <sudobash> whatever
[03:16] <rogerotis> Searched the web and didnt find anything
[03:16] <bobbyd> sudobash: I always use mplayer and it's always great
[03:17] <bazhang> sudobash, did you reply to my question?
[03:17] <sudobash> yeah i used to have mplayer installed
[03:17] <xlene> i use vlc and have no issues
[03:17] <sudobash> i have had issues with vlc also being jumpy
[03:17] <freddy_engels> I'm having a really serious problem with a macbook pro using ubunti 9.10 where my network connection gets interrupted frequently (like every several minutes) and it runs really slow
[03:17] <bobbyd> sudobash: are yo uplaying over a network or something?
[03:17] <sudobash> what codecs and players do modded xboxes use in xbmc?
[03:17] <freddy_engels> logfile says I have both ath9k and sky2 drivers active, I believe
[03:17] <xlene> what codecs are you using sudobash ?
[03:17] <_Kamokow_> I setup shoutcast server for linux on my ubuntu 9.04 machine and wanted to have it start when i turn my pc on (just to make things easier), to put it into startup i used Preferences -> Startup Applications. Name: Shoutcast   Command: sudo '/opt/shoutcast/sc_serv' and it doesnt startup? Am i missing something?
[03:18] <bazhang> sudobash, what card and what driver, what version of ubuntu
[03:18] <freddy_engels> I think this is probably the source of the problem
[03:18] <js0n> eth1      Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
[03:18] <bobbyd> sudobash: probably all the ones from mplayer_all set from the website
[03:18] <mnaines> rogerotis: I have the same problem with Wine...It is because of the DirectX stuff...Wine bogs down pretty bad when you try to run something that requires DirectX and that isn't OpenGL compatible
[03:18] <freddy_engels> if I have an atheros chipset and the latest kernel, should I be using ath9k or sky2?
[03:18] <bobbyd> sudobash: i have to go now, but let me just say, I always use mplayer and viideo is fone on all 5 of my mahicnces

[03:20] <omac> gst:  go to x.org read the sample application source code.  read the x.org source for the actual display manager api WDM
[03:20] <bazhang> moyoyo1, better to keep it here; please take a look at the link I gave you
[03:20] <sudobash> driver is 180 recommended in Hardware Drivers
[03:20] <mase_work> moyoyo1: you don'e need to repeat it , everyone can see your message
[03:20] <Hick0rd> hey, since I've upgraded my ubuntu - I've noticed that NetworkManager and Bluetooth services are supposedly working ('# service NetworkManager status' returns it's running) they never appear on GUI
[03:20] <moyoyo1> ok.. sorry
[03:20] <mase_work> np
[03:20] <sudobash> let me see what it looks like from HDD on VLC and Mplayer
[03:21] <mase_work> moyoyo1: you might find that posting to the mailing list or forums more helpful.
[03:21] <Hick0rd> Also wlan0 and sound card are no longer working > I solved the sound card thing by adding my user account to necessary audio groups but the sound is now fuzzy.
[03:21] <freddy_engels> I really need to know if I should be using the ath9k driver or the sky2 driver on a macbook pro with the atheros chipset.

[03:22] <sudobash> this is my gf's pc but my brother tried either 9.04 or 8.10 on a quad core 8 GB Ram and he said it was jumpy on his so he went to windows 7
[03:22] <a94060> freddy_engels: lspci what is your card?
[03:22] <Hick0rd> Any ideas?
[03:24] <a94060> Hick0rd: what was your problem?
[03:24] <genii> moyoyo1: Old but still good tutorial on your subject: http://www.stoltenow.com/archives/2006/12/ubuntu_configur.html
[03:24] <omac> I can assure you if you run video off a hard drive with mplayer/vlc on a quad-core it won't be jumpy unless the actual encoded video is crap.
[03:24] <omac> sudobash:   I can assure you if you run video off a hard drive with mplayer/vlc on a quad-core it won't be jumpy unless the actual encoded video is crap.
[03:24] <celthunder> omac, depends on video card too lol put in a 16mb video card :)
[03:24] <ejv> lol @ solving an ubuntu problem with a windows 7 install...
[03:25] <ejv> hahaha
[03:25] <celthunder> omac i'm kidding btw if someone actually put that bad of a graphics card in that they should be shot on the spot
[03:25] <Hick0rd> a94060,  hey, since I've upgraded my ubuntu - I've noticed that NetworkManager and Bluetooth services are supposedly working ('# service NetworkManager status' returns it's running) they never appear on GUI
[03:25] <Hick0rd> a94060, Also wlan0 and sound card are no longer working > I solved the sound card thing by adding my user account to necessary audio groups but the sound is now fuzzy.
[03:25] <sudobash> yeah but these are dual core machines with 2 GB ram and integrated GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
[03:25] <sudobash> shouldnt be jumpy at all
[03:26] <sudobash> I have two AMD Athlon X2 4200+'s sitting right next to each other and they both do it last time I checked
[03:26] <ejv> if playback is better on windows, then stick with that?
[03:26] <sudobash> no I love Linux and he would use it if it wasn't like that I will figure it out
[03:27] <Chihork> hi.  I have a problem with my loopback device configuration.  my lo is only assigned an ipv6 address, not an ipv4.  '/etc/init.d/networking start' doesn't work, nor does 'ifup lo'.  I have to manually enter the command 'ifconfig -s lo 127.0.0.1' in order to have a proper configuration.
[03:27] <mnaines> genii: I already took care of it through private message
[03:27] <sudobash> I have 5 media players installed on this X2 4200+ so I will find one that work flawlessy... XBMC for Linux is pretty awesome in Ubuntu though
[03:27] <mnaines> genii: moyoyo is already getting help
[03:27] <ejv> well, my dad has a cheap dual core AMD 4850e and an onboard ATI 3200 chipset, and it plays 1080p .mkv flawlessly
[03:28] <ejv> i think xbmc is silly

[03:29] <Dreamglider> How do i move all files in recup_dir.1 recup_dir.2 .... recup_dir.50 in to one folder from therminal ?

[03:29] <_Kamokow_> any reasons that would case this?
[03:29] <Dreamglider> terminal***
[03:29] <ejv> i'd custom compile mplayer with vdpau and/or coreavc support and report your findings. VLC's internal decoder is garbage, so don't you dare use that. lol
[03:29] <Chihork> mnaines: I would like to try to figure out why my loopback device isn't being configured properly at boot.
[03:29] <a94060> Hick0rd: sounds like a big problem
[03:29] <a94060> is the network working?.
[03:30] <mnaines> Chihork: what exactly is the loopback device saying?

[03:33] <Rolofobia> I need to know this, if they can't help me I will come back
[03:33] <a94060> Hick0rd: if u do iwconfig do u see wlan0?
[03:33] <Rolofobia> thank you so much
[03:33] <mnaines> Chihork: ok...Well, do you have an IPv6 server running?

[03:36] <bazhang> mralexandro, the netbook remix, or straight ubuntu
[03:36] <damn_> is there a possibility to both, dumpstream&dumpfile + give out a videostream via mplater at the same time?
[03:36] <HBXv6> ubuntu is great on a netbook
[03:36] <a94060> Hick0rd: what is the result of wlan0 (you can pm me if u want)
[03:36] <HBXv6> running it now on my msi wind
[03:36] <a94060> i have ubuntu on my eee,awesome
[03:36] <a94060> *using eeebuntu
[03:36] <mralexandro> bazhang, i was hoping for the original one that i wnjoy at my xps m1330 pc
[03:37] <mnaines> Chihork: Nevermind...Just go to a terminal and type in "ifconfig lo down" then type "ifconfig lo add 127.0.0.1/8" and finally "ifconfig lo up"
[03:37] <bazhang> mralexandro, not familiar with system specs on that netbook, both should work though depending on the wifi and video of course
[03:37] <mnaines> Chihork: before you bring the interface back up, type "ifconfig lo del" and the IPv6 address and prefix
[03:37] <veinor> I can't get the AR9285 to respond properly; it's always got fewer bars of reception than any other wireless card and it's slower.
[03:38] <mralexandro> bazhang, yeah i thought so too, i was kind of having a doubt in the compiz cube function
[03:38] <Redeemed> The 4 commands I entered that apparently did the breaking: killall pulseaudio | sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio | sudo apt-get install esound | sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
[03:38] <charles__> my q5 can't update
[03:38] <Firefishe> I'm interested in knowing if there is a way to alter the lyric script in amarok 2 to use another lyric service, or perhaps find lyrics in a more generic way without having to use a particular site's api.
[03:38] <bazhang> mralexandro, compiz cube works fine on my 701 eeepc 4GB
[03:39] <Chihork> mnaines: I get "127.0.0.1/8: Unknown host"
[03:39] <Chihork> mnaines: when I gry 'ifconfig lo add 127.0.0.1/8'
[03:39] <mnaines> Chihork: That's wierd...127.0.0.1/8 is the default address for a loopback adapter
[03:40] <Chihork> mnaines: very weird :)
[03:40] <mnaines> Chihork: Hmm...Very wierd indeed...I've never seen this happen before in my 11 years working on computers
[03:40] <Firefishe> Oh gads...wrong channel.
[03:40] <Firefishe> sorry about that..doh! *bonk*
[03:41] <Chihork> mnaines: when I do 'ifconfig -s lo 127.0.0.1' then all works as expected.
[03:41] <cc4> hi
[03:41] <cc4> how do I emty the trash in ubuntu?

My flash is up-to-date (10.something) 64x. any ideas?   http://thenextweb.com/2009/08/20/amazing-beautiful-realistic-piece-computer-art/?awesm=tnw.to_nct

[03:48] <JoshDreamland> Is there any way to speed up the caps lock key?
[03:48] <JoshDreamland> I know using it's a terrible habit, but it's how I do almost every capital.
[03:48] <simran> mnaines: im running it from ac adapter without battery - and the brightness option doesnt show in power management
[03:48] <mnaines> simran: What monitor is it?
[03:49] <Chazz> JoshDreamland, the Shift key is an amazing tool
[03:49] <simran> mnaines: laptop my friend
[03:49] <genii> unixbocx: webmin was dropped from ubuntu, the current supported admin tool is ebox
[03:49] <veinor> mnaines: any advice?
[03:49] <a94060> where is the link Xubuntnoob
[03:49] <Xubuntnoob> http://thenextweb.com/2009/08/20/amazing-beautiful-realistic-piece-computer-art/?awesm=tnw.to_nct
[03:49] <JoshDreamland> Chazz: yes, but I'm used to using Caps Lock
[03:50] <JoshDreamland> ANd it MAkes me TYpe LIke THis
[03:50] <Auron> What would be the best channel to jump into to ask some basic questions about bash scripts?
[03:50] <Chazz> O_O
[03:50] <Chazz> Auron, #bash
[03:50] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob;  plays just fine on mine. I had to temp turn all scripts on though
[03:50] <Chazz> JoshDreamland, well, caps lock can't be made faster :/
[03:50] <a94060> Xubuntnoob: ohh ok,so what is the uestion?
[03:50] <Xubuntnoob> gnubie - sorry, what scripts?
[03:50] <Xubuntnoob> i can't play the video on tht webpage
[03:51] <JoshDreamland> Chazz: I don't understand thta. It works great on Windows, and the newer Macs.
[03:51] <mnaines> veinor: I have a similar problem...Type in "ifconfig wlan0 down" then type "iwconfig rate 54M" then finish it off by typing "ifconfig wlan0 up" then reconnecting to the access point and see what that does
[03:51] <a94060> Xubuntnoob: hah i didnt even realize there was a video
[03:51] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob;  I have the noscripts addon installed in firefox
[03:51] <Xubuntnoob> gnubie: so, apt-get install firefox-noscripts or just search in the plugins
[03:52] <mnaines> veinor: Scratch that...The iwconfig line should read "iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M"
[03:52] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob;  search addons, I have ff 3.0.13
[03:52] <a94060> Xubuntnoob: i am trying to install flash,ill see what it says then
[03:52] <cc4> no /.local/share/ folder
[03:52] <cc4> I can't find the trash folder
[03:53] <cc4> even though I gave the show hiden files option enabled
[03:53] <cc4> what do I have to do?
[03:53] <IdleOne> cc4: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:53] <cc4> one of the latest
[03:53] <cc4> if not the latestr
[03:53] <cc4> if not the latest
[03:54] <cc4> how can I find out?
[03:54] <mnaines> veinor: Did that work?
[03:54] <IdleOne> System > About Ubuntu
[03:55] <cc4> 9.04
[03:55] <Xubuntnoob> gnubie: i found the noscripts addon, installed and restarted firefox,  I clicked the video, it asked me if i wanted to temporarily allow, and it still doesn't play
[03:55] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob;  I have ubuntu 9.04 64bit and I install flash by installing ubuntu-restricted extras
[03:56] <simran> can virtual box run my existing vista within ubuntu...or does it only run .iso????
[03:56] <Xubuntnoob> gnubie - same for me too
[03:56] <cc4> how can I emty the trash using one of the gui file managers in ubuntu 0.9.4?
[03:56] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob; what ver firefox
[03:56] <mase_work> cc4: which one do you have ? i will tell you how to do ti
[03:56] <cc4> 0.9.4
[03:57] <cc4> nautilus
[03:57] <Xubuntnoob> gnubie; 3.0.13
[03:57] <cc4> and the other thats from the menu on default
[03:57] <mnaines> cc4, firefox does not have that version designation...
[03:57] <mnaines> I use firefox 3.5
[03:57] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob; let me look around for a bit
[03:57] <cc4> nautilus
[03:57] <cc4> its a file manager not a browser
[03:57] <Dreamglider> How do i move all files in recup_dir.1 recup_dir.2 .... recup_dir.50 (Multiple directories) in to one directorie using terminal ?
[03:57] <mnaines> cc4, I was looking at the wrong line...My bad
[03:58] <cc4> np
[03:58] <Xubuntnoob>  $ firefox --version    = Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13, Copyright (c) 1998 -2009 mozilla.org
[03:58] <cc4> mase_work?
[03:58] <cc4> mautilus
[03:58] <a94060> mv -Rvf recup_dir.*/* recup ?
[03:58] <cc4> nautilus
[03:58] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: What version of Flash are you running?
[03:59] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: And is it Adobe or Shockwave flash?
[03:59] <Xubuntnoob> i'm sure it was 10. something, how to i check for sure?   flash --version = nothing
[03:59] <mase_work> cc4: ok just booting a livecd. will let you know once i've had a look
[03:59] <Dreamglider> a94060: sudo: unable to execute /bin/mv: Argument list too long
[03:59] <a94060> wth ?
[03:59] <cc4> mase_work: ok
[03:59] <a94060> hmmm
[03:59] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: Firefox>Tools>Add-ons
[04:00] <Xubuntnoob> mnaines: i guess i didn't know there was a difference,  adobe 10. is what i have, i'll try to find shockwave flash
[04:00] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: No, just wait a second
[04:00] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob; do about:plugins in the url address space
[04:00] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: Go to the add-ons in firefox and check to see if you have the VLC Multimedia Plugin
[04:01] <a94060> Dreamglider: that was my shot at it. Im not sure what else to try
[04:02] <Dreamglider> a94060: ok, how about changing ownership of all files in recup_dir.* then i can just drag them to a new folder
[04:02] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: You should have the default plugin, DivX Web Player, QuickTime Plug-in, a flash plugin, VLC Media Player, and Windows Media Player 10 plugin
[04:03] <a94060> Dreamglider: if all the recup files are in the same directory
[04:03] <a94060> u could just chmod the whole directory
[04:03] <Dreamglider> a94060: they are
[04:03] <Xubuntnoob> mnaines: default, demo print plugin, quicktime 7.2 shockwave 9.0r999 vlc multimedia plugin (compatile totem 2.26.1) and win media 10
[04:03] <Dreamglider> a94060: will that change ownership of all files also ?
[04:04] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: There's your problem
[04:04] <a94060> well
[04:04] <a94060> if all of them
[04:04] <a94060> are in a directory where u dont mind changing all the owner ship
[04:04] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: You need the latest flash player, version 10.0 r32
[04:04] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob; I have shockwave 10.0.r32
[04:04] <thiebaude> !flash
[04:05] <a94060> Dreamglider: the format is chmod user folder i think
[04:05] <ekimmargni> With a fresh install, what should be in /var/backups?
[04:05] <mnaines> Xubuntnoob: It does not appear like you have it installed in firefox, though
[04:05] <a94060> !chmod
[04:05] <a94060> !chmod | Dreamglider
[04:06] <cmp> hello, i need to fix my visual effect to get working
[04:07] <cmp> hello?
[04:07] <cmp> any body here ?
[04:07] <losher> ekimmargni: mine seems to contain various copies of system files e.g. dpkg.status, group, passwd, shadow, all with .bak extensions. No idea how they got there. My install isn't fresh though. I have files in there going back a year
[04:07] <a94060> just wait pleast cmp
[04:08] <ekimmargni> losher: also aptitude.pkgstates.0 and dpkg.status.0?
[04:08] <losher> ekimmargni: yes, those too...
[04:08] <ekimmargni> losher: I ask because I stupidly had /var/backups on a separate partition, then nuked the partition
[04:08] <ekimmargni> losher: but I have all that stuff, so I guess no harm was done
[04:09] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob; search for flash in synaptic package manager and see what you find
[04:09] <losher> ekimmargni: from the looks of it, they seem to be safety backups, so I'm guessing even if you lost them, nothing would stop working...
[04:09] <cmp> wow - guys all what i have been told here - is just to wait  -  and i was here for about 4 hours and     a94060     is telling to wait

[04:14] <thiebaude> cmp, did you do updates?
[04:14] <veinor> Yes, I did
[04:14] <veinor> And it wouldn't connect to any wireless network after I did that.
[04:14] <Xubuntnoob> mnaines; still didn't see antyihng for shockwave,  flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer both show installed @ 10.0.32.18

[04:15] <mnaines> Yes, veinor
[04:15] <bazhang> !intel | cmp
[04:15] <veinor> I did those and then couldn't connect to any wireless network.
[04:16] <thiebaude> bazhang, i knew about those problems before :d
[04:16] <cmp> when i do update - i get my system crashed  - this is also one of my major problems
[04:16] <mnaines> veinor: What's the closest wifi to you?
[04:16] <stoupe> Whenever I use synaptic I get the following error: E: Malformed line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
[04:16] <stoupe> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[04:16] <bazhang> cmp, did you read through those links I sent you?
[04:16] <MrPockets> ohhey!
[04:16] <veinor> mnaines: The hotel wireless network, but this other laptop right next to me gets signal just fine.
[04:16] <cmp> iam reading
[04:16] <thiebaude> cmp, does x freeze?
[04:16] <cmp> yes
[04:16] <Xubuntnoob> still nothing, i'm running out of time before work, i'll be back in the morning to figure this out hopefully
[04:17] <cmp> its giving me black screen
[04:17] <mnaines> veinor: This is why I am puzzled:  Link Quality=2/70
[04:17] <gnubie> Xubuntnoob; later
[04:17] <mnaines> That link quality is the problem
[04:17] <veinor> Yeah, I get abysmal link quality on pretty much anything.
[04:17] <IdleOne> stoupe: can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com please
[04:17] <mnaines> veinor: Hmm...Where are you in the hotel?
[04:18] <stoupe> yeah how do i do that
[04:18] <losher> stoupe: so what's on line 55 of your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[04:18] <veinor> It's not just the hotel, it's anywhere.
[04:18] <veinor> Even at home.
[04:18] <IdleOne> stoupe: in terminal type gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:18] <gst> how do i have to make a file as executable in ubuntu?
[04:19] <DynamicFail> I had a question, and I am not sure if this is the place to ask it but does anyone know what I would have to do to be able to get a job as a Microsoft Program Manager?
[04:19] <IdleOne> stoupe: then copy and paste it to paste.ubuntu.com
[04:19] <thiebaude> !offtopic
[04:19] <stoupe> okay
[04:19] <IdleOne> stoupe: then give me the url
[04:19] <bazhang> DynamicFail, try ##windows
[04:19] <mnaines> veinor: The only other thing I can think of is try using a USB wireless dongle
[04:19] <veinor> Yeah, but I don't want to have to carry around a wireless dongle everywhere I go with this netbook. :/
[04:20] <mnaines> veinor: That may be your only option, unfortunately
[04:20] <stoupe> http://paste.ubuntu.com/259075/
[04:21] <mnaines> veinor: I have not heard good things about the netbooks
[04:21] <genii> stoupe: Why mixed intrepid/hardy repos?
[04:21] <mase_work> stoupe: you generally don't want to mix repos
[04:21] <stoupe> hmm
[04:21] <stoupe> i think i did that acciedently
[04:21] <losher> stoupe: comment out the last 2 lines
[04:21] <IdleOne> stoupe: you can delete the last two lines with hardy in it then save the file and run sudo apt-get update
[04:21] <mnaines> veinor: The "micro laptops" like the netbooks sacrifice usability and battery life for cuteness
[04:21] <veinor> mnaines: hm; I heard good things about ndiswrapper on this netbook
[04:22] <bazhang> veinor, which netbook
[04:22] <mnaines> veinor: I would try the ndiswrapper, but don't get your hopes up
[04:22] <a94060> veinor: which one do u have
[04:22] <veinor> a94060: Eee 1008ha
[04:22] <veinor> mnaines: I can't even get ndiswrapper to work is the problem.
[04:22] <cmp> bazhang   what about the link you gave me - its not showing me anything that could help me
[04:22] <mase_work> ndiswrapper is a hack at best.
[04:22] <a94060> ohh. i have 1005ha. i got the wireless and everything working
[04:22] <losher> mase_work: doesn't matter if it works...
[04:23] <bazhang> cmp, any of them? you read through them both?
[04:23] <mnaines> a94060: Would you mind helping him, then?  I'm a bit confuzzled about his problem
[04:23] <a94060> yea sure. The guide i followed is same for 1005 and 1008
[04:23] <mase_work> losher: if it works its fine but that fact that is a hack means that people shouldn't get their hopes up
[04:23] <a94060> veinor: what do u need?
[04:23] <veinor> a94060: I installed linux-backports-jaunty, which lets me browse wireless
[04:24] <Ben64> i wish people would stop using hack as derogatory
[04:24] <stoupe> thank you SO much
[04:24] <veinor> but it usually gets really bad signal
[04:24] <Ben64> the whole internet was founded on hacks
[04:24] <mase_work> Ben64: why ?
[04:24] <a94060> veinor: i had this problem before, what version ubuntu? eebuntu is what im running here.
[04:25] <cmp> bazhang, i did the first one and the second one i cant understand from it any thing - i would prefer if you really want to help me , then tell me step by step - this will be much more better for me
[04:25] <veinor> a94060: 9.04
[04:25] <losher> mase_work: well, it would be lovely if all the vendors supported linux. but for those that don't, I thought ndiswrapper was a brilliant solution. It has worked for me in the past when nothing else did...
[04:25] <a94060> veinor: vanilla version?
[04:25] <veinor> Yep
[04:25] <slap> I'm trying to mount a NFS sharing. The following command (mount -t nfs gandalf.tolkien.lan:/sharing /sharing) says that mount.nfs can't resolve the address. I don't understand why, 'cause I configured /etc/exports by adding a line (/sharing *.tolkien.lan(blablabla)). My DNS server is up and configured correctly. Any suggestions ?
[04:25] <mase_work> Ben64: a 'hack' is different to a 'hacker' and the internet was architected pretty well it was not hacked. Some of the software was implemented that way, however it is not so much the case any mroe
[04:25] <a94060> what id reccomend is get a eee focused one.
[04:25] <veinor> yeah, I've tried that, but none of them worked out of the bo with the 1008ha
[04:26] <a94060> eeebuntu has been working wonderfully for me,all th shorcut keys work and all the fn keys work too
[04:26] <darksifer> hi everyone. am having this problem from yesterday: i cannot mount a partition. i did e2fsck - y -v /dev/sdb5 and stil cannot mount. i get a message saying that mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on dev/sdb5, missing codepage or helper program. Partition is formatted in ext4. please can someone help me
[04:26] <veinor> did you have the slow wireless problem?
[04:26] <a94060> also there are repos set up alreay
[04:26] <lordnikon> hey i know this is a linux chat but i have a windows question....
[04:26] <losher> slap: gandalf.tolkien.lan needs to be resolved by DNS. Can you ping gandalf.tolkien.lan ?
[04:26] <mase_work> losher: it is a solution, but i wouldn't go so far as to say briliiant. The vendors really need to support Linux, and imo its better to have something non supported than supported as a work around
[04:26] <IdleOne> stoupe: if you want to use that repository edit the two lines to end with intrepid but it is not recommended.
[04:26] <a94060> veinor: yes i did at the beginning, however i just decided one day to reinstall the whole system and it seems to work by not using the newest kernel
[04:26] <mnaines> a94060: I looked at his iwconfig wlan0 and its showing a bit rate of 2MB/sec and a signal quality of 2/70
[04:26] <IdleOne> err he left
[04:26] <mase_work> that way people don't buy that hardware
[04:27] <veinor> define 'newest'?
[04:27] <lordnikon> is there a way to get a linksys wifi password off the computer the router was installed on if ther router is not currently connected
[04:27] <mase_work> and when the software doesn't work, people don't say.. bah this is junk. They know that the vendor is at fault
[04:27] <a94060> alrighty mnaines i had the same problem,except id get 1mb/s
[04:27] <veinor> WHich one are/did you use?
[04:27] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes veinor
[04:28] <a94060> veinor: I think its also partially with the kernel, i am running kernel 2.6.28-12-netbook
[04:28] <veinor> To fi the problem.
[04:28] <fireball> anyone please tell me how to get my to LAN pc's talking to each other properly?
[04:28] <mnaines> bazhang, you understand why we're helping people with these problems even though it does not fall within the room topic?
[04:28] <fireball> i can ssh from one to the other
[04:28] <veinor> I'll try using old kernels then
[04:28] <losher> mase_work: well, that's the problem isn't it? The vendors apparently don't *need* to support linux, and the proof is that some don't, yet they're still in business....
[04:28] <a94060> which are u running veinor?
[04:28] <bazhang> cmp, what specific things have you tried, what errors have you gotten, what terms do you not understand
[04:28] <fireball> but remote pc issues, server related. . .
[04:28] <Ben64> mase_work: the internet was not architected well...
[04:29] <a94060> what module is ur kernel using for wireless?
[04:29] <veinor> 2.6.30.something using ath9k
[04:29] <bazhang> mnaines, support of ubuntu on netbooks is on topic here
[04:29] <veinor> bazhang: I've tried ndiswrapper but I can't get it to work
[04:29] <a94060> alright veinor
[04:29] <tlf> I'
[04:29] <Ben64> if memory serves me correctly, they got 2 bytes over the network, then it crashed
[04:29] <a94060> ndiswrapper there is no point,its an atheros chipset
[04:29] <veinor> I'll try booting back into an old kernel, see if that helps
[04:29] <cmp> bazhang, simply i want you to give me step by step to follow it  , what to do to fix my visual effect
[04:29] <bazhang> veinor, did you check that link? there are some other suggestions as well that don't involve ndiswrapper
[04:30] <veinor> bazhang: ah, true, I'll try madwifi
[04:30] <tlf> I've been informed I need to be freed of the broadcrap captors and find a free open source driver
[04:30] <a94060> let me pull up my delicious and ill point u at a few important links cause they are eee specific
[04:30] <veinor> Note: On my EeePc 900 and Intrepid, the signal was bad and I experienced intermittent failures when using this method. Ndiswrapper seems to work ok so far - VilleV
[04:30] <slap> losher no, I can't ping the server. I don't know why, because dig tolkien.lan and dig gandalf.tolkien.lan respond ?
[04:30] <losher> a94060: your 'delicious'?
[04:30] <a94060> may i pm u veinor
[04:30] <a94060> i meant the bookmarking site haha
[04:30] <veinor> sure
[04:31] <bazhang> veinor, for all eeepc related stuff I usually visit the eeeuser.com forums ; they have a ton of stuff on getting ubuntu working flawlessly on all manner of eeepcs
[04:31] <mnaines> bazhang: Its not the topic that I'm talking about, though.  I believe that in a room as large as this one is, there is usually more than one person with the same problem, so I feel it saves time and energy to have all of them read up on a solution that is being given to one person, a "teaching the classroom" sort of thing instead of trying to give 1-on-1 instructions
[04:31] <losher> slap: well, if you can't ping, nfs isn't gonna work. Is there a firewall of some kind in operation?
[04:31] <bazhang> cmp, need much more info than that, what have you tried, more details etc
[04:32] <tlf> Any advice for a open source instead of broadcom for jaunty?
[04:32] <lordnikon> can someone help me get the wifi working on a laptop that just got a fresh jaunty install
[04:32] <slap> Is there a firewall by default on ubuntu 8.04 lts ?
[04:32] <bazhang> cmp, 'visual effects don't work ' is not enough info
[04:32] <mnaines> lordnikon, what wireless driver?
[04:32] <lordnikon> dont know it is an old hp box
[04:32] <lordnikon> but there is a wired connection
[04:33] <Nautilus__> does ubuntu have an HD diag programs? SMART tests and/or media tests?
[04:33] <mnaines> lordnikon: pastebin the output of lspci

[04:33] <lordnikon> what is the cmd line
[04:34] <losher> slap: no default firewall on my 8.04 LTS. Do you want to post the output of your ping attempt to http://paste.ubuntu.com so I can see it?

[04:36] <mnaines> tlf, I would suggest Linksys, but make sure it has Ralink drivers
[04:36] <cmp> bazhang, 9.04 - i didnt install any driver , it worked good with me by it self , and my computer is DELL inspiron 1525
[04:36] <tlf> What do you mean mnaines ?

[04:38] <Ben64> cool, thx
[04:38] <bazhang> cmp, you really need to go through that intel link; report here when you get errors and what exactly you have tried.
[04:38] <genii> Nautilus__: It uses an email transport agent to send alerts...if one is not installed, postfix is chosen by default
[04:38] <tlf> I'm looking for drivers, not a card. My card is hardwired and I'm attempting to use aircrack. Apparently broadcom's driver is preventing me from doing anything succesful
[04:38] <cmp> bazhang , use it where

[04:38] <cmp> i dont know what and where to do any thing

[04:39] <mnaines> tlf, that site will tell you what drivers to use for the broadcom to get it to work...Just find your card on the list and click the green lettering
[04:40] <Ben64> JoeSomebody: most, if not all necessary drivers should already be functioning properly
[04:40] <Ben64> JoeSomebody: the only one that usually requires input is video
[04:40] <cmp> floosbot2, what are you trying to tell me here
[04:40] <cmp> i didnt understand what you wanted to say
[04:40] <JoeSomebody> ok, what about ip? set it up like windows?

[04:46] <Frankenstein> ignorant not stupid,,theres a difference

[04:49] <mnaines> Ben64, Linux is one of those things where you never stop learning
[04:49] <JoeSomebody> and i need help LOL
[04:49] <Frankenstein> you doing good so far joe
[04:49] <Ben64> mnaines: oh i know
[04:49] <losher> slap: sorry, doesn't mean much to me. It's been years since I had anything to do with named...
[04:49] <Ben64> a couple years ago i learned that ubuntu makes it so much easier
[04:49] <chipz> :)
[04:49] <mnaines> Ben64: Hence why I chose it to enter the world of Linux
[04:49] <Ben64> before that i was busy hacking rh9 up to work with newer stuff
[04:50] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance  cmp  please look at the symptoms and tell me if your computer exhibits any of those
[04:50] <JoeSomebody> i shall give it a very good tryout
[04:50] <Celroc> cmp: Pardon me, but maybe a little more information could help. Are you just getting a blanked out screen, or is it just displaying it poorly?
[04:50] <cmp> the language is very complicated and iam very newwww in linux - of course i will not understand what is xorg.con
[04:50] <Ben64> upgrading to the brand new 2.6 kernel... that was a good learning experience : /
[04:50] <slap> losher thanks anyway
[04:50] <thiebaude> !xorg
[04:51] <mnaines> Ben64: I like Ubuntu because its not much different from Windows in terms of user-friendliness, and its easy enough to figure out that a little bit of effort and some help from Google and you can pretty much go it alone
[04:51] <bazhang> With compiz enabled, some animations such as desktop switching or compiz cube view are not smooth and take longer to complete than previously. <-- cmp

[04:52] <Ben64> i hardly ever use gui tools
[04:52] <kevdog> e17 users here?
[04:52] <bazhang> cmp, this is about compiz not working?
[04:52] <cmp> celroc , aha - now i dont understand
[04:52] <thiebaude> don't you need 3d rendering to use compiz?
[04:52] <cmp> bazhang , yes
[04:52] <Ben64> thiebaude: indeed
[04:53] <thiebaude> bazhang, maybe his card dont support it
[04:53] <mnaines> Ben64, nope, and I like the fact that the gui has a small footprint...4GB of hard drive space and 512MB of RAM are all that is needed, and with a dual-core at 800MHz on each core, I never notice a difference in performance
[04:53] <esteban> hello
[04:53] <thiebaude> mine doesn't intel 815
[04:53] <bazhang> cmp, and you have installed ccsm? and the drivers for your card? enabled compiz?

[04:53] <slap> thanks
[04:53] <wrapster> is there a way i can create a .deb pkg by using the files present in a .pkg (svr4) file?
[04:53] <bazhang> thiebaude, mine does, but badly (same card as yours )  :)
[04:53] <losher> Ben64: I rarely use gui tools either. But there's no stopping them. And if linux is going to continue to garner market share, the quality of gui tools is going to be crucial. Apple has proved that with a good enough gui, people will even use *bsd...
[04:54] <cmp> bazhang, guide me how to do it now and i will do , dont tell me some shortcuts of words please
[04:54] <cmp> bazhang , i dont know the language of Linux yet
[04:54] <mnaines> bazhang: I use the Intel 945 chipset
[04:54] <thiebaude> bazhang, i tried it , but ubuntu wouldn't let me
[04:54] <Ben64> losher: but the apple people will buy up anything apple releases : /
[04:54] <JoeSomebody> do i fill in search domains in ip4 window?
[04:54] <bazhang> cmp, you will need to do some reading; there is no walk through step by step for every little thing
[04:54] <wrapster> im a newbie to .deb so can anyone please help?
[04:54] <bazhang> !ccsm | cmp read this first
[04:54] <Ben64> $600 phone with no mms or copy+paste? AWESOME
[04:55] <esteban> losher: are you saying that macos-x has a *bsd core?

[04:55] <mnaines> JoeSomebody: No...Just put in the IP address, subnet mask, DNS and DHCP server information, and that's it
[04:55] <losher> esteban: Yes, I understood it's supposed to be bsd underneath.
[04:55] <cmp> i need clear stepsss
[04:55] <Technik> same as my Thinkpad T400
[04:56] <bazhang> cmp, did you see above what to install?
[04:56] <thiebaude> Technik, offtopic, but im looking for a netbook
[04:56] <esteban> losher: nice
[04:56] <cmp> bazhang, oh my god .......just please for god sake .... simply tell me ( go here . press there , .... ) and i will be good student )
[04:56] <losher> wrapster: there is a program named alien which can convert between *some* package types...
[04:57] <genii> Nautilus__: Yes. Apologies on lag, almost midnight and preparing to leave and sleep
[04:57] <kevdog> thiebaude:  Wait for the ion release netbooks in Oct -- I think Arm is aways off
[04:57] <mnaines> bazhang: cmp is one of those people who needs someone to hold his hand and guide him step by step
[04:57] <Nautilus__> losher: that util worked great, shows me i do have a drive going (SMART stats). Is there a util for ubuntu to wipe the drive before I return it for RMA? Or just find the usual one on the net?
[04:57] <JoeSomebody> mnaines it wont let me out of that window, i must be missing something, routes - what is that?
[04:57] <cmp> yessssssssssssssssss
[04:57] <Nautilus__> genii: NP! Big help
[04:57] <bazhang> cmp, you need to open the synaptic package manager (system administration synaptic package manager)
[04:57] <Nautilus__> genii: midnight here and I'm working on an HD and the motorcycle  ;)
[04:57] <kevdog> wrapster: Please be aware the alien -- well it sometimes makes packages that are alien and screwed up.  Look for a dep
[04:57] <kevdog> look for a deb
[04:58] <cmp> just a secong
[04:58] <cmp> bazhang , done
[04:58] <wrapster> losher: i know about that.. I've tried it as well.. It does convert but the main problem is when i try to install the resulting .deb it complains about other missing SUNW dependencies ..... But almost the same kind of pkg is natively  already present.. how do i go about resolving this issue?
[04:59] <bazhang> cmp, search for the package there
[04:59] <a94060> could someone point me to the official offtopic channel for freenode?
[04:59] <Technik> bazhang: make sure he's got multiverse and universe enabled in sources

[05:00] <a94060> histo: is it really just #offtopic haha?
[05:00] <wrapster> kevdog: can you please elaborate?
[05:00] <wrapster> dep?
[05:00] <cmp> bazhang , done
[05:01] <esteban> hello

[05:01] <Celroc> esteban: Hi
[05:01] <a94060> channel doesnt exist histo
[05:01] <cmp> bazhang, by pressing apply
[05:01] <cmp> ?
[05:01] <losher> wrapster: if I were you, I would unpack the source package on solaris, and transfer the files to Ubuntu, recompile, test & repackage as a .deb. Anything less is not guaranteed to work... What package is it anyway. Are you sure it isn't available as a .deb anyway?
[05:01] <esteban> hello Celroc
[05:01] <bazhang> a94060, its #defocus
[05:02] <neil_d> I think I now the trouble...
[05:02] <wrapster> losher: yes... I want SUNWonbld
[05:02] <a94060> ohh,alrighty thank you very much. histo said offtopic haha. thanks
[05:02] <kevdog> wrapster: Lenovo and Toshiba are release ION netbooks that have an NVDIA GPU that supposedly can do real HD without skips.  They've suspended the release until OCT to coincide with the win7 release.  In addition both are 11" netbooks -- Some like this, some don't.  They claim to have 6-8 hours of bat life, however I havent read any "real" reviews just yet, only speculations
[05:02] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html cmp you should read this for some basics on Ubuntu
[05:02] <esteban> btw, someone knows if there is a console based msn messenger? :D
[05:03] <kevdog> How do you repackage as a deb?
[05:03] <cmp> bazhang, so you mean you dont have willing to guide me till the end?
[05:03] <a94060> thank you bazhang
[05:03] <genii> esteban: If you use bitlbee you can use whatever command-line based IRC client as the front end to your msn
[05:04] <losher> wrapster: unless you have source code, it's not going to work. binaries from solaris don't run on Ubuntu as far as I know...
[05:04] <JoeSomebody> i am now browsing my network, this rocks!
[05:04] <thiebaude> bazhang, thats an excellent guide
[05:04] <esteban> genii: thanks
[05:04] <genii> esteban: Welcome
[05:04] <bazhang> cmp, you will need to know some basics about using synaptic etc, I can help with compiz, but easier if you are a bit better informed
[05:04] <wrapster> losher: thats right.. But I have the pkg with me... it comes as a part of the CD itself..
[05:04] <Nautilus__> losher: just d/ling DBAN. that'll do it
[05:05] <wrapster> losher: how do i go about it now?
[05:05] <bazhang> thiebaude, yes, and its free download; ubuntu kung fu is another must read (not free though )
[05:05] <Nautilus__> losher: THANKS again!
[05:05] <kevdog> wrapster: Compile it!
[05:05] <wrapster> first of all how do i recompile the files in ubuntu...
[05:05] <thiebaude> ahh,ok
[05:05] <thiebaude> bazhang, i want that ubuntu bible
[05:05] <wrapster> kevdog: for that I need SS12 which is not again available
[05:05] <cmp> bazhang , i am confused to take any step which may lead me to upgrade my system - coz in this case once i will reboot after upgrading i will be freezed again on black screen
[05:05] <wrapster> mind you its not ubuntu its nexenta.. that im working on
[05:05] <losher> kevdog: packaging a .deb is actually quite a pain. the program checkinstall will do it for you if you don't need anything fancy...
[05:05] <innomen> hey guys, i'm trying to send my contacts via bluetooth to my pc, its a vcf file, but when i attemtp to send it just says send failed, is there a better bluetooth handler?
[05:06] <kevdog> wrapster: SS12 -- sorry what is that?
[05:06] <wrapster> sun studio 12
[05:06] <wrapster> thats what i have to use.. no gcc
[05:06] <esteban> brb
[05:06] <wrapster> kevdog: i mean should not use gcc
[05:06] <Celroc> Pardon me, cmp, but are you having troubles with the screen going blank?
[05:06] <mikey> i am trying to get the wifi working on my hp laptop new install of 9.04
[05:06] <mikey> helllp
[05:06] <bazhang> Celroc, he has the intel video issue
[05:06] <kevdog> losher: NO NO NO --- checkinstall is bogus -- it doesn't make real deb files you can re-distribute -- that's a fallacy.
[05:07] <cmp> celroc , yes
[05:07] <komputes> How do i do "gpg --clearsign file" specifying the Key ID to be used?
[05:07] <thiebaude> Celroc, i had to edit my xorg.conf to fix my intel problem
[05:07] <kevdog> wrapster: Oops -- I guess I can't help you with that one -- sorry
[05:07] <joschu> I'm trying to get crontab to work. I tried editing my user crontab and the root crontab. here is what's in my crontab file: * * * * * ls -a > /home/joschu/blah.txt
[05:07] <wrapster> kevdog: thats fine can you at least tell me how i can recompile the source?
[05:07] <losher> wrapster: you just sound like you're just digging yourself in deeper and deeper. Isn't all this stuff sun propietary?
[05:07] <joschu> But nothing happens either way
[05:08] <wrapster> no
[05:08] <Celroc> bazhang: Oh. Don't know about that issue. That would mean he is using on-board graphics, right?
[05:08] <kevdog> wrapster: recompile or compile?
[05:08] <wrapster> Sun studio is free
[05:08] <wrapster> compile!
[05:08] <wrapster> sorry
[05:08] <mikey> please help me get my wifi working
[05:08] <bazhang> Celroc, yep
[05:08] <mikey> i just installed 9.04
[05:08] <wrapster> kevdog: do you have online resource that are .deb specific ...
[05:08] <wrapster> I'd like to know and start with it right away
[05:08] <bazhang> Celroc, its found at /msg ubottu intel
[05:08] <Celroc> Ah. I had a similar problem, but it was with a video card
[05:08] <losher> kevdog: that's what people say. I've only used it for personal packages.
[05:09] <kevdog> wrapster: I'm walking away from this one -- I don't know what you want to do!!
[05:09] <Celroc> bazhang: Thanks
[05:10] <joschu> any help on crontab issue?
[05:10] <akio_> Can some one direct me to the wine chat?
[05:10] <gwildor> wrapster, try google: <whatever you want to install> ubuntu 9.04
[05:10] <bazhang> akio_, #winehq
[05:10] <wrapster> kevdog: here it is.. I want to compile opensolaris on nexenta (which follows the .deb pkging method) in order to do that i need some compilers and tools which are in .pkg format.. to install em on nexenta i need to convert them to .deb..
[05:10] <wrapster> that exactly what i want to do.
[05:10] <kevdog> losher:  Talk to real developers -- like gpg, pidgin, etc -- They all laugh at checkinstall -- its for local use only.  I tried it on a bunch of packages, but when I went to upgrade -- after I recompiled the source after an upgrade -- things starting going south.  I was just way better off with the sudo make install thing.  I know this installs outside the apt system -- but nothing was broken
[05:10] <wrapster> Do you have a clear picture now?
[05:11] <bazhang> wrapster, is Ubuntu in that picture somewhere?
[05:11] <kevdog> wrapster: I have no idea how to make a real .deb -- but I'd like to learn about how to package one!!
[05:11] <MsMaco> kevdog: though often if you take the debian/ directory from an old version and drop it in and dpkg-builddeb it'll "just work" (assuming no changes in required libs)
[05:11] <mikey> can some one devote their time to help me get my wifi working on my hpdv6000  i have just installed the new version 9.04
[05:11] <wrapster> bazhang: technically yes.. as its ubuntu userland+ opensolaris kernel
[05:11] <wrapster> and it follows .deb pkging format
[05:12] <bazhang> wrapster, /join #nexenta
[05:12] <wrapster> :)
[05:12] <lordnikon> is mikey in here
[05:12] <kevdog> MsMaco:  Please give more details!!!
[05:12] <mikey> i am here
[05:12] <losher> wrapster: so what's the big advantage of having a solaris kernel with ubuntu userland?
[05:13] <MsMaco> kevdog: dholbach has a video on youtube of how to upgrade a package to a new upstream version. watch it.
[05:13] <lordnikon> hey guys can someone help mikey, his wifi is not working on a fresh jaunty install
[05:13] <cmp> bazhang , i dont have the power nor the time to read all this , cant you just say it
[05:13] <wrapster> losher: lets keep that aside for now... this is something taht I wanted to do.. I'd just like to know how i can
[05:13] <lordnikon> what is the beginner channel name??
[05:13] <cmp> bazhang , or i have to beg for what i need
[05:13] <cmp> ?
[05:13] <kevdog> MsMaco: I thought this was in reference to packaging a deb file?  Sorry I guess I'm not quite following
[05:14] <esteban> i'm looking for the amiga font, is anybody arround that has it or knows where to get it?
[05:14] <MsMaco> kevdog: yes, if you wanted to package version 1.5 of something that was just released because only 1.4 is in ubuntu, there's a video on youtube of how to do it
[05:14] <MsMaco> kevdog: i believe there's also a video of how to package in general
[05:14] <bazhang> cmp, you should repeat your issue every 20 minutes or so, adding that you have the intel driver issue on Jaunty, cant get compiz visual effects enabled; if someone knows they will help you
[05:14] <mikey> no one is answering us nikon
[05:14] <MsMaco> lordnikon: er...this is the usual support channel
[05:14] <lordnikon> !beginner chat
[05:15] <MsMaco> !ask | lordnikon
[05:15] <bazhang> lordnikon, this is it
[05:15] <kevdog> MsMaco:  I'll take a look -- I'd like to package a deb file for 2.6.2 pidgin -- developers version that I made on Intrepid
[05:15] <lordnikon> isnt there a ubuntu-beginer-help channel??
[05:15] <krammer_> i can get mail using thunderbird 3.0
[05:15] <MsMaco> lordnikon: this is it
[05:15] <losher> wrapster: well you've reached the limits of my expertise I'm afraid. I was about to suggest the same as bazhang. Surely #nexenta is the ideal place for this question?
[05:15] <kevdog> lordnikon: The forums?
[05:15] <MsMaco> lordnikon: this channel is full of beginner questions. its the advanced questions that are hard to get answered here
[05:15] <kindofabuzz> how come when an app makes a desktop shortcut i have to make it executable ever time?
[05:15] <thedancingdeer> my firefox freezes once in a while!!! what can be the causee?
[05:15] <lordnikon> ok mikey hasa an hp dv600 and the wifi is not working
[05:15] <kevdog> e17 users here?
[05:16] <cmp> why every 20 minutes - what is this place for - isnt it for helping the people who can do what they want /?
[05:16] <MsMaco> thedancingdeer: flash? sites that abuse javascript?
[05:16] <kindofabuzz> thedancingdeer, try safe mode, if works fine then your problem is an addon
[05:16] <cmp> is this chat place for whole linux users - or iam wrong /.?
[05:16] <thedancingdeer> MsMaco: no! plain browsing! i've installed flashblock to keep flashes away!
[05:16] <kindofabuzz> cmp, no, just ubuntu users
[05:16] <MsMaco> cmp: what? this channel is for ubuntu tech support
[05:16] <mikey> i have a hpdv6000 and my wifi isnt working
[05:16] <thedancingdeer> kindofabuzz: yeah,. will try that!
[05:16] <lstarnes> cmp: this channel is specifically for support with ubuntu.  ##linux is a channel for general linux support
[05:16] <histo> cmp: this is the official support channel for ubuntu
[05:16] <bazhang> cmp, because repeating a short time, with help me is not needed, nor helpful; if someone knows they will step in and help with enough details
[05:16] <MsMaco> mikey: be more specific. like, what kind of wireless card
[05:17] <cmp> thats great
[05:17] <histo> cmp: /topic
[05:17] <MsMaco> mikey: and for example, did you check the hardware drivers thing in the menu?
[05:17] <lordnikon> he has an ateros card
[05:17] <bastidrazor> cmp, you could try #compiz channel for compiz related issues
[05:17] <cmp> i want support with my UBUNTU
[05:17] <thedancingdeer> ummm,. how do i start firefox in safe mode?
[05:17] <kindofabuzz> cmp, well you are in the right place then
[05:17] <krammer_> i can get mail using thunderbird 3.0
[05:17] <cmp> where
[05:17] <cmp> how can i gho
[05:17] <mikey> ateros wireless card
[05:17] <lstarnes> cmp: here
[05:17] <kindofabuzz> thedancingdeer, firefox -safe-mode
[05:17] <kevdog> lordnikon:  Need chipset revision number
[05:17] <bazhang> cmp, then you need to be patient, and repeat at 20 minute or so intervals
[05:17] <MsMaco> thedancingdeer: "/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.13/firefox -safemode" i think
[05:17] <joschu> I need some help getting cron jobs to work. I tried putting the following in my user crontab: * * * * * ls -a > /home/joschu/blah.txt. I also tried putting that in my root crontab. Nothing happens either way. I'm using ubuntu 9.04 as a virtual machine.
[05:17] <a94060> mikey: what happened withthe guide?
[05:17] <MsMaco> thedancingdeer: to get the proper path: ls -l `which firefox-3.0`
[05:18] <lordnikon> kev, what is the terminal  command to find that out
[05:18] <kevdog> lspci -nnm
[05:18] <kindofabuzz> cmp, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
[05:18] <MsMaco> thedancingdeer: then thatll tell you like ../firefox-3.....
[05:18] <histo> cmp: what are you trying to accomplish?
[05:18] <MsMaco> thedancingdeer: er i mean itll tell you ../lib/firefox-....
[05:18] <MsMaco> thedancingdeer: so then thatd mean you to go /usr/lib/firefox-3.... whatever it said
[05:18] <thedancingdeer> ummm,.. firefox -safe-mode did the job! :)
[05:19] <MsMaco> thedancingdeer: wait it works from other directories now? oooooo
[05:19] <kindofabuzz> thedancingdeer, http://forums.mozillazine.org/ great place for FF help
[05:19] <esteban> Mikelevel: about atheros, do you know if there is a propietary driver?
[05:19] <MsMaco> no there isnt
[05:19] <MsMaco> atheros is all open source
[05:19] <cmp> histo, what did you give me this link for ?
[05:19] <esteban> mikey: about atheros, do you know if there is a propietary driver?
[05:19] <innomen> !bluetooth
[05:19] <godfreym> I installed some packages using rpm and then manually deleted the files...now when I use rpm -e it does not seem to work...any workaround?
[05:20] <kindofabuzz> cmp, sorry for that link. meant for someone else
[05:20] <MsMaco> godfreym: er...why are you using rpm on ubuntu?
[05:20] <histo> cmp: what type of video card do you have?
[05:20] <cmp> histo , i want my compiz to work
[05:20] <MsMaco> godfreym: but yeah it makes sense that it cant figure out how to remove files that dont exist
[05:20] <Celroc> histo: He has in Intel one
[05:20] <histo> cmp: okay I will try to help you do you know what type of video card you have?
[05:20] <kevdog> MsMaco: atheros is not all open source -- the hal layer on some chipsets is proprietary
[05:20] <histo> Celroc: ughh.
[05:20] <histo> cmp: what happens when you try to enable the extra desktop effects?
[05:20] <losher> joschu: cron is full of traps for the unwary. I'm not sure all asterisks in the time field is legal, Check /var/log/syslog too see what cron made of it...
[05:20] <MsMaco> kevdog: really? i thought all atheros drivers were open
[05:21] <cmp> histo, this is my video card       Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller
[05:21] <godfreym> MsMaco:cant there be a way to tweek the RPM database where it is mantained?
[05:21] <histo> cmp: okay what happens if you try to enable the extra effects?
[05:21] <innomen> That tutorial is not useful, it does not explain why i should be unable to reciveve a file
[05:21] <Madpilot> godfreym, you do know Ubuntu is deb based, not rpm, right? And that this is #ubuntu, not ##linux?
[05:21] <cmp> histo, it tells me ( desktop couldnt be enabled )
[05:21] <koolhead1> hi alll
[05:21] <histo> cmp: hrm.
[05:21] <Celroc> koolhead1: Hi
[05:22] <lstarnes> Madpilot: I believe he is using rpm/alien on ubutnu
[05:22] <histo> cmp: do you know what version of ubuntu you have installed?
[05:22] <Lenin_Cat> um
[05:22] <vince> Good Evening, I was hoping I could get some help installing the NVidia Binary Drivers in the .29 or .30 kernel.  Google has failed me
[05:22] <kevdog> MsMaco: Nope!  Newer chipset versions -- even the madwifi project used to make use of closed hal layers -- still do -- that's the ath_pci driver that sometimes needs to go within the blacklist file
[05:22] <Lenin_Cat> my panels just disapeared
[05:22] <Madpilot> lstarnes, ick.
[05:22] <cmp> 9.04
[05:22] <bazhang> !panels > Lenin_Cat
[05:22] <godfreym> Madpilot:Yes I know that but the installer packages were in RPM and they didnt allow any deb related packages
[05:22] <kindofabuzz> how come when an app makes a desktop shortcut i have to make it executable ever time?
[05:22] <histo> cmp: in a terminal try the command      glxinfo | grep render
[05:22] <godfreym> so had to use RPM for that
[05:22] <koolhead1> Celroc: hey
[05:22] <kevdog> MsMaco: chipsets like 5007e are newer and use open source drivers
[05:22] <esteban> brb
[05:22] <histo> cmp: we are looking to see if you have direct rendering enabled
[05:23] <losher> godfreym: so you download a version of rpm for ubuntu?
[05:23] <mralexandro> hi i need help after estracting a tar.gz file. it was for a software called stratagus. but there is always software out there in tar.gz and after estracting it to a folder like /usr/local/src/stratagus-x.x.x. what do i do. i need to configure right? and to install?
[05:23] <joschu> losher-all i see in the syslog is BEGIN EDIT and END EDIT
[05:23] <cmp> histo, i did
[05:23] <godfreym> yes
[05:23] <krammer_> i can get mail using thunderbird 3.0 new to configurating
[05:23] <godfreym> from ubuntu
[05:23] <kevdog> tar zxvf <tar file>
[05:23] <cmp> histo, and it tells me  (direct rendering: Yes
[05:23] <cmp> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM GEM 20090326 2009Q1 RC2 x86/MMX/SSE2
[05:23] <cmp> )
[05:24] <kindofabuzz> godfreym, you can use alien to instal rpm's
[05:24] <histo> cmp: so when you click in System > preferences > Appearence on the visual effects tab and sellect Extra Effects it gives you an error?
[05:24] <kevdog> mralexandro: Then usually ./configure, make, and then sudo make install (usually -- might need to run autogen.sh sometimes)
[05:24] <cmp> yes
[05:24] <brummbaer> hey all, trying to get guarddog firewall and ipblock rules to apply at startup. does anyone know how to do this or a good tutorial, as i can't find one.
[05:25] <histo> cmp: what is the exact error
[05:25] <kevdog> brummbaer: How complex are your rules -- with gufw do, or do you have really complex rule sets?
[05:25] <godfreym> kindofabuzz,I had installed them and deleted the files,now RPM -e wont work :-(
[05:25] <mralexandro> kevdog, yes it tells you to on the install page . so just sudo autogen.sh?
[05:25] <cmp> histo, desktop effect couldnt be enabled
[05:25] <losher> joschu: well, first step, change the first asterisk to a 5. That should run your command once every 5 minutes. Then wait 5 minutes and see what it says...
[05:25] <mralexandro> kevdog or configer first?
[05:25] <fleixius> Are there any windows app out there that allows me to draw X windows over NX
[05:26] <kindofabuzz> godfreym, i really don't know much about alien other than that it's used to install rpm's, sorry
[05:26] <brummbaer> kevdog, i could probably make do w/ ufw, but i've not used it, and i dislike the gufw shield in menu... :(
[05:26] <kevdog> mralexandro: ./autogen.sh , sometimes configure is run from this, other times you then do the ./configure.  In all cases, make, sudo make install
[05:26] <newser> is there any app that can record video if movement is detected?
[05:26] <newser> using a webcam
[05:26] <brummbaer> kevdog, the basic firewall is deny-all, then i've just punched holes for 80 incoming and http/https/ftp/pops/smtps/dns/whois out...
[05:27] <losher> godfreym: ubuntu rpm is hopefully layered over dpkg. If so, there will be a log of what you installed in /var/lib/dpkg/status. Have a look in there towards the end of the file...
[05:27] <kevdog> brummbaer: Could you not just write your rules by hand and then just simply push them to iptables at startup -- thats what ufw does anyway
[05:27] <mralexandro> kevdog when i do it says command unknown
[05:27] <kevdog> mralexandro: What command?
[05:27] <histo> cmp: I found this which will help explain some of the issues with your video card in jaunty http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582&highlight=desktop+effects+couldn%27t+enabled
[05:28] <a94060> any keyboard shortcut to switch channels in xchat? sorry for being off topic
[05:28] <mralexandro> kevdog i type sudo ./autogen.sh and i tried ./autogen.sh
[05:28] <kevdog> Don't need sudo
[05:28] <bastidrazor> a94060, alt + 1 - 9
[05:28] <histo> cmp: so you can follow the guide and get appropriate drivers or wait until the next version of ubuntu comes out.
[05:28] <mralexandro> kevdog,  for non sudo i get following msg :  bash: ./autogen.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[05:28] <histo> cmp: As the guide recomends it could break your install.
[05:28] <cmp> histo, i have got that link before - but i dont know what should i do with it . there are some Logs and some Commands and i dont know what to do with it - and even if i will copy it and paste it - i dont know where i will paste it
[05:28] <kevdog> mralexandro: Please pastebin the contents of the directory
[05:28] <mralexandro> ok
[05:29] <brummbaer> kevdog: well... i have the rules in a bash script in /etc/rc.firewall as saved by guarddog, and ubuntu (jaunty) has default added a 'guarddog init script to /etc/init.d/, if i check boot txt during startup, boot txt says it runs, but if i run 'iptables -L' after startup, it's got the default 'no rules' config

[05:29] <a94060> thank you bastidrazor
[05:29] <krammer_> i can get mail using thunderbird 3.0 new to configuration
[05:29] <fleixius> How can I draw a gnome-panel on an remote session?
[05:29] <JoeSomebody> hey guys, what do you play av files with? the built in app or vlc or some other one?
[05:29] <a94060> how about closing a window in xhcat?
[05:30] <histo> cmp: well then I would wait untill the next version of ubuntu comes out and your problems will be solved.
[05:30] <bazhang> !players | JoeSomebody
[05:30] <histo> cmp: there are issues with your card and jaunty.
[05:30] <Celroc> vince: Pardon me, but could you re-post your question?
[05:30] <cmp> histo, where can i find the xorg.conf
[05:30] <mralexandro> kevdog,  http://pastebin.com/m2071ee6
[05:30] <kevdog> brummbaer: Weird -- did you try just making simple rules?  Have you checked the permissions on these files as well and made sure if any need to be executable that this is the case
[05:30] <JoeSomebody> thanks
[05:30] <histo> cmp: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:30] <histo> cmp: if it doesnt exist you have to create one.
[05:31] <cmp> dont tell me more complicated things - just tell me how to find it and if i dont have it - how to create it
[05:31] <histo> cmp: That thread shows you how to create one and were its located.
[05:31] <histo> cmp: I can't walk you through the instructions.
[05:31] <kindofabuzz> krammer_, is that a question?
[05:31] <cmp> then can you tell me how should i know about what i want to know ?
[05:32] <joschu> losher-supposedly * * * * * means every minute
[05:32] <krammer_> kindofabuzz, is there a question mark?
[05:32] <histo> cmp: That thread explains the issue and what you need to do to solve it. I've told you I would just wait untill the next version comes out to get the effects.
[05:32] <kevdog> mralexandro: That program is trying to use the Korne shell interpreter -- and you are probably running bash.  Please paste bin the contents of autogen.sh -- its a text file
[05:32] <cmp> if all the pages which i have got by you guys here - is just telling without any kind of instructions . so how can i find the way out then ?
[05:32] <joschu> losher: i tried 5 * * * * for good measure, nothin
[05:33] <kindofabuzz> krammer_, no but what's your point in saying that?
[05:33] <histo> cmp: its not worth breaking your system over. especially if you don't understand they recomend not to do it.
[05:33] <mralexandro> kevdog,  alright:)
[05:33] <histo> cmp: Read the warning in red at the top.
[05:33] <vince> Celroc Yes, Im trying to install the Binary NVidia Drivers with Kernel .29 or .30
[05:33] <cmp> histo, it was working with me very fineeeee
[05:33] <krammer_> to see how rude somebody can be and rather ask hey how can I help you
[05:33] <histo> cmp: what was working?
[05:33] <cmp> without any hand from my side in it
[05:33] <vince> When I try to do so X makes me to to basic graphics mode which makes my eyes bleed.
[05:33] <cmp> the compiz and the effect
[05:34] <histo> cmp: okay what happened before it broke?
[05:34] <Celroc> vince: Sorry, I don't really know how to help... but maybe someone else can
[05:34] <mralexandro> kevdog, http://pastebin.com/d88ce588
[05:35] <cmp> nothing - just i have upgraded my linux, and then i rebooted my PC , then i got freezed on the black screen and didnt enter the ubuntu
[05:35] <histo> cmp: how'd you get back in to ubuntu then?
[05:35] <kevdog> mralexandro: Edit the first line of the autogen.sh file so it states #!/bin/bash
[05:35] <bastidrazor> vince, you'll need to stop gdm (if you're using gnome) then run the .run file you downloaded.
[05:35] <cmp> i reinstalled it from the begining again
[05:35] <mralexandro> kevdog ok:)
[05:35] <histo> cmp: when you reinstalled did you install a newer version of ubuntu?
[05:36] <vince> bastidrazor : So i'll have to get the drivers from nVidia's site and then run them from terminal with X shut down?
[05:36] <cmp> no the same one 9.04
[05:36] <pluxii> i dual boot ubuntu and vista ultimate, when i mount my primary on ubuntu to access windows files that i need, those files are then denoted as shared on windows, I am curious if these becoming shared files opens me up for any kind of security vulnerability or if they are only shared between ubuntu and vista.
[05:36] <mralexandro> kevdog, i also have to inform you that on the page they specify two different procedures wheter you have (1)GCC/Mingw 2 MSVC
[05:36] <histo> cmp: then it should be working just as before.
[05:36] <mralexandro> kevdog: but i did the edit you said
[05:36] <cmp> yes
[05:36] <cmp> but its not working now i dont know why ?
[05:36] <bastidrazor> vince, yes, if you want the drivers from them.. although most nvidia cards work well from the ubuntu provided ones.
[05:36] <histo> cmp: hit alt+f2 and type in compiz --replace    then hit enter
[05:37] <vince> bastidrazor: No compix no 3D Accell.  Open source drivers stink.
[05:37] <vince> Well not open source drivers per say
[05:37] <cmp> did
[05:37] <mralexandro> kevdog, should i run the autogen now?
[05:37] <vince> Bah its 1 AM you know what I mean :-P
[05:37] <kevdog> mralexandro: Is this a windows build?
[05:37] <bastidrazor> vince, okay, then yes you'll need to get the drivers from nVidia then stop X.. and install them.
[05:37] <kevdog> mralexandro: yes
[05:38] <mikey2> is a9 here ??
[05:38] <anom01y> !ivtv
[05:38] <histo> cmp: try to enable effects
[05:38] <mikey2> why did you leave lol
[05:38] <anom01y> how do I get ivtv for Jaunty ?
[05:38] <histo> cmp: did you have to do something before to get effects working?
[05:38] <kevdog> Whats ivtv?
[05:38] <vince> bastidrazor: Remind me agian how you Kill X, Its CTRL-ALT-F1 or something like that right?
[05:38] <hornets> sup guys

[05:38] <kermit> vince: ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:39] <anom01y> kevdog, for a hauppauge pvr-150

[05:39] <cmp> same error
[05:39] <anom01y> hornets, filezilla
[05:39] <mikey2> kevdog, i need help getting the wifi working on a hpdv6000
[05:39] <histo> vince: hit ctrl+alt+f1 and you will be a text terminal then you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:39] <cmp> i have got the same error now again
[05:39] <kermit> mralexandro: you have a CR where there should be an LF, what editor was that made in?
[05:39] <hornets> anom01y: tks
[05:39] <bastidrazor> vince, yes get to tty1 by ctrl alt F1.. then log in and type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop    .. then install your drivers and  switch stop for start..
[05:39] <histo> vince: you can use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to get it running again
[05:39] <kermit> mralexandro: ^M is a microsoft style end of line indicator
[05:39] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Is there something I have to do to get the clock to stay in sync automatically?
[05:40] <kermit> CoJaBo-Aztec: install ntpd
[05:40] <histo> cmp: I have no idea what the problem is and how it would be recreated after a fresh install when it worked before.
[05:40] <mralexandro> kevdog, i used sudo gedit autogen.sh
[05:40] <kevdog> mralexandro: Where did you get that package?  Is this for linux -- usually mingw is for cross compiling
[05:40] <bastidrazor> vince, as histo said. he is a bit faster than me in typing.. head colds are eVil
[05:40] <bastidrazor> !dontzap | kermit
[05:40] <mralexandro> kevdog i will show u 2 sec
[05:40] <thedancingdeer> i've got firefox 3.5(shiretoko) installed on my jaunty machine before it was released! so i could use firefox 3 and firefox 3.5 simultaneously! so if i now install firefox 3.5 from its website, will it replace my current 3.5???
[05:40] <jacksy> Can any body plz guide me how to install Adobe flash CS# on my ubuntu 8.10
[05:40] <vince> Bastidrazor : Ok, I'll need to restart first, Im still in .28
[05:40] <kevdog> mralexandro: Let me download the package and I'll compile it
[05:40] <jacksy> Flash CS3
[05:41] <mralexandro> kevdog, http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/download.shtml here, but i would really like to also compile it:)
[05:41] <DigitalKiwi> ubuntu has a package to reenable what you got removed
[05:41] <mikey2> i am trying to get the wireless working on my box pleaase help
[05:41] <DigitalKiwi> *snark*
[05:41] <cmp> histo , then i want to know now - what is really special about linux system- as i see its very complicated to work with  - very complicated to insatll programs . what is so special about it ?
[05:41] <DigitalKiwi> that's utterly hilarious
[05:42] <histo> cmp: its not complicated once you learn it. As i've stated your hardware has issues with the current version of ubuntu. They are fixing it with the next release. and I believe it worked under 8.10 as well.
[05:42] <kindofabuzz> cmp, no difficutl, just different. what's special about it? freedom to do whatever you want with it.
[05:42] <jacksy> Hello everybody
[05:42] <Celroc> jacksy: Hi
[05:42] <kermit> cmp: i personally find it vastely easier, i tried win for years and i never knew what was going on.  its a matter of personal taste.
[05:42] <cmp> as i can see - i cant do what ever i want with it
[05:42] <histo> cmp: heres a nother fix with a little more details http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136738&highlight=gm965
[05:43] <jacksy> can anybody plz guide me how to install Adobe Flash cs3 on ubuntu 8.1
[05:43] <hornets> i dunno if this is the right place
[05:43] <hornets> but i'm planning on running a dedicated server
[05:43] <pluxii> Question, I keep setting up dual monitors, using my nvidia driver settings, and each time i reboot i have to do it all over.  does anyone know how to make this fix so that i have dual when i boot up
[05:43] <kermit> cmp: and in win noone knew how to do things if i asked around, in linux someone always knows where to direct me if i have questions.
[05:43] <histo> cmp: those commands under the code: sections are to be entered in a terminal Applications > Accessories > terminal
[05:43] <hornets> what is the BEST ubuntu-server kernel? for security pourposes?
[05:43] <hornets> 8.04?
[05:44] <hornets> or the new one is just fine too?
[05:44] <mikey2> wifi is not working in a fresh install of 9.04, assistance is needed
[05:44] <histo> hornets: they both have security fixes.
[05:44] <histo> !best | hornets
[05:44] <SpookyET> A linux user would go apeshit if he installed a new version of his favourite distribution and found the commands either gone or renamed. WTF Apple? What did you do to Terminal in Snow Leopard? Crippleware.  PlistBuddy gone, ar gone. sha1sum renamed to shasum, md5sum renamed to md5. I could go on. Why keep around Terminal.app. It was also not update dot support 256 colours. Geez.
[05:44] <cmp> and why when i ask - i cant find so many people who can help me
[05:44] <jacksy> is there any solution to install adobe flash cs3 on ubuntu
[05:44] <cmp> only when i go to chat rooms about this system
[05:45] <cmp> and sooooooooo hardly untill i find the person who can communicate with me
[05:45] <histo> cmp: did you read the last link I gave you? It has step by step instructions on how to fix your intel card
[05:45] <kevdog> mralexandro: give me a sec -- just downloading the package
[05:45] <losher> hornets: security issues get patched in all supported releases, so they're all about equal in that respect. 8.04LTS is probably the most *stable* release, if that helps...
[05:45] <hornets> ahm, this is not exactly what I was looking for
[05:45] <hornets> ahh
[05:45] <cmp> iam doing now
[05:45] <mralexandro> kevdog, no problem, i am excited to learn:)
[05:45] <hornets> that was I looking for losher
[05:45] <pluxii> so no one knows then, i'll hop on later when a different crew is on
[05:46] <cmp> is this room supported by ubuntu company
[05:46] <cmp> ?
[05:46] <mikey2> kevdog, can you help get this darn wifi working
[05:46] <bastidrazor> pluxii, did you run nvidia-settings with sudo and save to xorg.conf?
[05:46] <histo> cmp: this room is volunteers. Ubuntu has paid support availible.
[05:46] <histo> !topic | cmp
[05:46] <hornets> losher: so.. let's say that you would run a dedicated server?
[05:47] <mralexandro> cmp, i have a guide about graphics drivers. it is not supergood, but i made it so that it should be understandable
[05:47] <bastidrazor> pluxii, gksudo ..rather
[05:47] <hornets> LTS is the best thoice?
[05:47] <mralexandro> cmp, you want it?
[05:47] <histo> hornets: for a production server yes
[05:47] <cmp> yes i want it
[05:47] <kermit> cmp: if ubuntu is just giving you a blank screen at startup, your hardware is probably intended to only work with windows, you could get it to work, or you could use better hardware.
[05:47] <mcpancakes> hey all, I've got a hard drive (/dev/sda) that can't seem to be read by anything. all I want to do is delete every byte on the entire device. dd said I/O error (tried writing /dev/zero to the entire device), as did fdisk and gparted when I tried using those. my only remaining thought is that physically, the hardware is damaged?
[05:47] <pluxii> bastidrazor: it's a question of shared files security, so i don't understand what you're asking
[05:47] <Bhavic> Does anyone know if Software RAID 0 actually increases writing/reading speed at all.
[05:47] <kevdog> mralexandro: well for one I just type ./configure
[05:47] <mralexandro> cmp,  http://alexanderklein.blogg.no/1246743768_04jul2009.html
[05:48] <bastidrazor> pluxii, didn't you ask about setting up dual monitors?
[05:48] <hornets> histo: The server will run rtorrent/nfs/proftpd/apache/mysql
[05:48] <mralexandro> kevdog,  and then? :)
[05:48] <losher> hornets: I *do* run a dedicated server. On 8.04 LTS...
[05:48] <hornets> it's not exaclty for "production"
[05:48] <kevdog> mikey2: Hit me up tomorrow --- I'm definitely about to go to bed -- if you make a post in the forums I will take a look at it -- a lot of good people there also
[05:48] <hornets> is just a seedbox lol
[05:48] <histo> mralexandro: he has an intel card
[05:48] <mikey2> ok thnx
[05:48] <mralexandro> histo, oh sorry
[05:49] <hornets> losher: hum.. thanks dude.
[05:49] <histo> mralexandro: cmp Thats why i gave him the link to install updated ppa drivers from the forums.
[05:49] <anom01y> how do I get a hauppauge pvr 150 to work in ubuntu Jaunty ??
[05:49] <mralexandro> histo i did not mean to
[05:49] <mralexandro> histo,  i should have read
[05:49] <kevdog> mralexandro: well configure didnt go all the way b/c I dont have the dependency lua installed
[05:49] <histo> mralexandro: np
[05:49] <pluxii> oh ffs i copy pasted the wrong question, i sincerely apologize, the question is when i access files off of my primary (i dual boot ubuntu and vista) upon accessing them windows then marks them as shared files, and i just wanted to make sure those being marked as shared under windows would not create a security problem when i am on vista
[05:49] <histo> cmp: those instructions from mralexandro are for nvidia cards not intel
[05:50] <bastidrazor> pluxii, heh..  sorry, i don't know about shared files. good luck
[05:50] <cmp> ok
[05:50] <histo> cmp: you need to follow these http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136738
[05:50] <esteban> 2
[05:50] <pluxii> bastidrazor: ha no problem man, thanks
[05:50] <mralexandro> kevdog, are you going to isntall it or just skip it?
[05:50] <pluxii> i'll just hop on the ubuntu forums in a bit
[05:50] <JoeSomebody> its my first day, please bear with me, what is the antivirus situation? do i need one? is it free?
[05:50] <DigitalKiwi> no you don't need an antivirus
[05:50] <kevdog> mralexandro: You have to install it -- its a dependency -- without it the configure script will not work
[05:51] <mralexandro> oh ok
[05:51] <mralexandro> sudo apt-get xxxxxx? :D
[05:51] <jacksy> hello
[05:51] <mralexandro> kevdog,  can i use a apt-get command:)
[05:51] <bucky> Bhavic, sudo hdparm -t /dev/md0

[05:52] <bucky> Bhavic, what does yours say?
[05:52] <DigitalKiwi> hehe, though ubuntu users like installing viruses with wine
[05:52] <kevdog> mralexandro: Hang on I'll tell you in a minute -- and I prefer aptitude but that is really just me -- apt-get is really ok
[05:52] <mralexandro> :)
[05:52] <DigitalKiwi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598
[05:52] <DigitalKiwi> thread is hilarious
[05:52] <AvonGenesis> Does anyone know how to uninstall the google chrome linux build?
[05:52] <hornets> ahm, MS Office runs ok on wine?
[05:52] <DigitalKiwi> !appdb
[05:52] <Bhavic> bucky: Is that WITH raid?
[05:52] <jacksy> is there any body in the network can guide me to install flash CS3 on ubuntu
[05:52] <Bhavic> Or without
[05:52] <DigitalKiwi> I think so hornets
[05:52] <hornets> thanks
[05:53] <bucky> Bhavic, yes
[05:53] <bucky> Bhavic, what does yours say?
[05:53] <Bhavic> Ahnice.
[05:53] <mralexandro> hornets, why do you want office, when you can have openoffice?
[05:53] <bucky> Bhavic, sudo hdparm -t /dev/md0
[05:53] <aksci> i've got firefox 3.5(shiretoko) installed from synaptic on my jaunty machine before it was officially released! so i could use firefox 3 and firefox 3.5 simultaneously! if i now install firefox 3.5 from its website, will it replace my current 3.5???
[05:53] <Bhavic> sec
[05:53] <hornets> mralexandro: I know that dude
[05:53] <cmp> histo pleaseee  read it with me - and lets follow it together -  and see if it will be understandable or not
[05:53] <torn> hornets, you might as well run OpenOffice. It supports MS Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formats, as well.
[05:53] <mralexandro> hornets, ok:)
[05:53] <hornets> but unfortunately some things just DON'T work on openoffice.
[05:53] <alexyk> hey guys -- I'm trying UNR and switched to Classic desktop, wanna go back to Netbook, how?
[05:53] <hornets> like indexing pages
[05:54] <torn> hornets, oops, just read mralexandro's reply.
[05:54] <newser> motion!
[05:54] <crawler> just found a pretty funny easter egg in the terminal..accidentally had the caps lock on, and typed LS instead of ls and got a nice surprise!
[05:54] <cmp> i opened the terminal - i copied the code .. i pressed enter .
[05:54] <torn> alexyk, go to Preferences > Switch Mode
[05:54]  * crawler loves linux more and more each day :-)
[05:54] <newser> !motion
[05:54] <cmp> histo , it opened another page   the source list .....then ?????????????//
[05:55] <newser> anyone has used motion before?
[05:55] <hornets> well, i'm still trapped with MS office. :D
[05:55] <DigitalKiwi> zsh: command not found: LS
[05:55] <DigitalKiwi> :(
[05:55] <torn> hornets, how come?
[05:55] <hornets> if wasn't for that shitty app, i'll be using linux 100% of the time.
[05:55] <alexyk> torn: thx.  Now what's the most recent way to fix the Intel GMA bug?  AccelMethod UXA enough or patched kernel needed?
[05:55] <hornets> like I said, indexing pages.
[05:55] <_law_> hi hi
[05:55] <hornets> doesn't work properly in OF.
[05:55] <CoJaBo-Aztec> kermit: Thanks. And apt-get install ntpd will do all the setup for me?
[05:55] <torn> alexnet, which netbook are you using?
[05:55] <DigitalKiwi> what about abiword?
[05:55] <DigitalKiwi> does that work hornets ?
[05:55] <hornets> abiword?
[05:55] <_law_> wanna ask can winxp see ubuntu drives?
[05:56] <hornets> never tried that dude
[05:56] <DigitalKiwi> <3 abiword
[05:56] <innomen> guys how can i makes use of this? "Blueman and it's dependencies are maintained in launchpad PPA. https://edge.launchpad.net/~blueman/+archive/ppa"
[05:56] <hornets> just hit apt-get install abiword?
[05:56] <cmp> histo i see that its leading me to UPDATE    --- if i will update i will get my system crashed agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
[05:56] <torn> hornets, OpenOffice cannot index pages?
[05:56] <innomen> it wont let me add it to sources
[05:56] <esteban> hornets: i prefer abiword
[05:56] <torn> hornets, can you explain please? I like to learn about different features.
[05:56] <kevdog> mralexandro: sudo aptitude install liblua50-dev libmikmod2-dev libbz2-dev
[05:57] <DigitalKiwi> do you mean put page numbers?
[05:57] <mralexandro> kevdog, thanks:)
[05:57] <hornets> torn: well.. it's a project from my college degree.
[05:57] <innomen> !sources
[05:57] <DigitalKiwi> or something more complicated
[05:57] <hornets> so everybody use MS Office for writing the document
[05:57] <kindofabuzz> !karmic > kindofabuzz
[05:57] <hornets> when I oppen the doc in O.F, the indexing (sumary?) appears all f*cked up.
[05:57] <hornets> open*
[05:58] <BioVore> hornets: office 2007 basically not compatible with anything... not even 2003.. :-(
[05:58] <torn> hornets, but in my case, I have no problems switching between using OpenOffice and MS Office, especially for word documents. In that case, I just save my file as MS Word 97/2000/XP format.
[05:58] <kevdog> mralexandro: You also might need to install the other dependencies as explained on the website -- I already had these install since I compile a lot, so I didn't need to install them
[05:58] <hornets> torn: I know that
[05:59] <Bhavic> bucky: Yours was 85mb/s with RAID 0/1 or no RAID ?
[05:59] <mralexandro> kevdog, ok they are on the install guide right?
[05:59] <bucky> yep
[05:59] <Bhavic> Which one bucky
[05:59] <bucky> Bhavic, raid 0
[05:59] <Bhavic> Ahk
[05:59] <Bhavic> Soft?
[05:59] <Bhavic> or hard
[05:59] <hornets> but everybody save in the new format docx
[05:59] <bucky> Bhavic, soft ..fake raid
[05:59] <Bhavic> Hm ok.
[05:59] <Bhavic> Mines: Timing buffered disk reads: 496 MB in 3.00 seconds = 165.22 MB/se
[05:59] <hornets> i know that O.F can support docx
[05:59] <bucky> Bhavic,  i'm running two raptors so that helps
[05:59] <hornets> but some things.. just doesn't work :/
[05:59] <kermit> is there a way to make standby not care about stuck processes?  sometimes my nfs server is unreachable and processes waiting for it block standby.
[05:59] <torn> hornets, OpenOffice supports .docx as well.
[06:00] <torn> At least, the latest version does.
[06:00] <Bhavic> Lol ahk
[06:00] <hornets> yes it does
[06:00] <torn> I always end up typing by the time it's too late.
[06:00] <torn> Oh, hornets, I have a good idea, if you're willing...
[06:00] <bucky> Bhavic, that's pretty good... my old cpu holds me back
[06:00] <Bhavic> Ah
[06:00] <hornets> i'm installing abiword, let see how it goes.
[06:00] <Bhavic> Thanks :))
[06:00] <kevdog> mralexandro: Yea but to be honest with you the names of the libraries are slightly different than what they state.  You will see that with what I gave you and what was written in the page.
[06:01] <Newbuntu2> I have a couple of old hard drives that may have issues... is there a way to test if they are ok?
[06:01] <torn> Alright, and I have another idea as well, hornets.
[06:01] <jonex> how i change room/
[06:01] <torn> Newbuntu2, I would use smartmontools.
[06:01] <kevdog> mralexandro: You also need liblualib50-dev
[06:01] <torn> jonex, type /j #channelname
[06:01] <mralexandro> hmmm. could you pastebin me all of them? :)
[06:01] <mralexandro> kevdog, pls:)
[06:01] <torn> alexnet, are you still there?
[06:02] <kevdog> mralexandro: I gave you what I could find, but Im not looking up all of them individually -- that is your job -- hence that is the art of compiling!
[06:02] <mralexandro> kevdog, agreed
[06:02] <mralexandro> :)
[06:02] <hornets> torn: what idea?
[06:03] <torn> hornets, do you still have your Windows XP/Vista installation disc?
[06:03] <anom01y> is v4l2 strickly for webcams or can I use it for my tv/tuner (hauppauge pvr-150) ?
[06:03] <kevdog> mralexandro: I gave you over 1/2 of them -- its just I already had the other libs installed -- so I got lazy and didn't look them up -- I had to in the past when I installed them!!
[06:03] <anom01y> because I don't know how to get ivtv to work
[06:03] <hornets> torn: yep
[06:03] <hornets> an .iso
[06:03] <DigitalKiwi> oh snap, pirate!
[06:03] <torn> hornets, I have great experience with VirtualBox, and couldn't be happier with it. http://www.virtualbox.org
[06:03] <hornets> :D
[06:03] <AvonGenesis> Does anyone know how to uninstall the google chrome linux build?
[06:03] <mralexandro> kevdog, but it is all of the required ones i need, not the recommended ones right. so the sdl, libpng, zlib and lua 5.02 ?
[06:04] <hornets> torn: dude
[06:04] <hornets> I have vbox on windows lol
[06:04] <kevdog> mralexandro: I'd also recommend the build-essential package if you don't already have them installed
[06:04] <hornets> for running linux
[06:04] <torn> hornets, LOL
[06:04] <hornets> yeah, rly.
[06:04] <DigitalKiwi> fail
[06:04] <hornets> I got balls and installed on a partition
[06:04] <hornets> :P
[06:04] <torn> hornets, I would going to say to install Windows on a virtual machine, and just run Office 2007 on there. It's better than messing around with Wine.
[06:04] <torn> *I was going to say
[06:05] <hornets> yep
[06:05] <hornets> it will be a little pain in the ass to install
[06:05] <hornets> but it will work fine.
[06:05] <mralexandro> kevdog,  sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall   ?
[06:05] <mralexandro> i have that one...
[06:05] <torn> hornets, I'm surprised at how well VirtualBox works. It's almost as good as VMware, yet it's completely free for personal use, and OSS at that...
[06:05] <hornets> i know that
[06:06] <hornets> is pretty lame to use.
[06:06] <hornets> very easy
[06:06] <a94060_> torn i said the exact same thing
[06:06] <histo> hornets: you can't use openoffice?
[06:06] <hornets> histo: nop :/
[06:06] <kevdog> mralexandro:  Well when running the configure script -- it seems the recommended aren't so optional as they state b/c without those libs the configure script would die -- but I gave you most of those along with the lua libraries. You need SDL, libpng, zlib libogg/libvorbis.  The libraries when you look them up will start with something like lib.....-dev.  You want all the developmental...
[06:06] <kevdog> ...packages when you compile -- look at the packages I already gave you -- they all have the -dev extension
[06:06] <chalcedny> i have ubuntu jaunty/9.04 I downloaded Opera 9.64 tonight, and the flash player, and unzipped that. Why does it say I don't have flash? How can i fix that?
[06:07] <binarymutant> can you redirect in the ubuntu wiki?
[06:07] <mralexandro> kevdog even below 5x?
[06:07] <kevdog> mralexandro -- don't use checkinstall -- just a plain sudo make install will do!
[06:07] <kevdog> mralexandro: ??
[06:08] <Michael_> I need help
[06:08] <Madpilot> chalcedny, just unzipping the flash installer won't install it
[06:08] <Madpilot> ubottu, flash
[06:08] <histo> hornets: looks like it may work with wine.
[06:08] <chalcedny> ah thanks :)
[06:08] <Madpilot> chalcedny, ^ see the bot
[06:08] <hornets> histo: yep.. but like torn said
[06:08] <hornets> it could be a little tricky.
[06:08] <Michael_> I have a copy of the beta client Windows 7 on VirtualBox OSE and I can't transfer my sound device to it
[06:08] <mralexandro> kevdog, sorry:) you said i need all dev pacakges, i have some in synaptics below 5.xx do i need them as well like liblua 40dev
[06:08] <hornets> using vbox would be much easier.
[06:09] <Newbuntu2> i have a 8.10 liveUSB. Is there an easy way to use it to install 9.04?
[06:09] <histo> hornets: yes, is there a reason you need 2007 though vs. oo
[06:09] <Newbuntu2> or do I need to recreate my liveusb>
[06:09] <torn> I don't understand how Linux Mint is able to distribute its OS, preinstalled with proprietary sofware and codecs, yet Ubuntu and other distros, such as openSUSE, are too afraid to do so? What does Linux Mint have that all the others do not have?
[06:09] <histo> Newbuntu2: you want to install 9.04 on live usb?
[06:09] <Madpilot> torn, too small to sue?
[06:09] <torn> LOL
[06:09] <histo> Newbuntu2: or install 9.04 to hd?
[06:09] <Newbuntu2> histo: to a blank HD
[06:10] <hornets> lol
[06:10] <kevdog> mralexandro -- I usually in the case of higher or lower versions -- just pick the most recent -- so in your case liblua50dev will do without the 40dev.  I can confirm this as my machine is happily compiling the source code right now as we speak
[06:10] <histo> !install | Newbuntu2
[06:10] <torn> Madpilot, so does that mean Mint is forcing itself to stay unpopular?
[06:10] <Madpilot> torn, I'm not really kidding, either. Canonical/Redhat/etc are all actual companies, Mint AFAIK is a couple of folks in their spare time
[06:10] <torn> Madpilot, that's true. It makes you think, though...
[06:11] <_TJ> wow feels weird being back in this channel
[06:11] <chalcedny> Madpilot, i downloaded and installed the installer and closed my browsers .. anything else?
[06:11] <mralexandro> kevdog, lucky you! :)
[06:11] <torn> _TJ, are you that artist?
[06:11] <Madpilot> chalcedny, that should work. I used to be an Opera user, but I haven't used it for over a year.
[06:11] <Madpilot> torn, non-tech support chat should be in #ubuntu-offtopic, however
[06:12] <_TJ> torn join that
[06:12] <kevdog> mralexandro:  Well if you have never compiled anything before this is the best place to learn.  You can use synaptic to search for packages or the trusty sudo apt-cache search <sounds like package name>  command line tool.  :p
[06:12] <torn> Madpilot, I know. That's why I stopped myself.
[06:12] <chalcedny> Madpilot, my 64 bit firefox wouldn't work with flash (or so i thought)
[06:12] <hornets> ok, just one more question, anyone here use NFS?
[06:12] <hornets> :p
[06:12] <kermit> hornets: yes
[06:13] <Madpilot> chalcedny, no idea, I'm still stuck in the 32bit Jurassic myself...
[06:13] <hornets> kermit: is it possible to make a script, or a cron.. to automatically mount the remote partition?
[06:13] <hornets> for example, my server get's rebooted
[06:13] <hornets> or maybe a black out
[06:13] <chalcedny> the flash test still says i need to get the newest version of adobe flash player
[06:13] <kermit> hornets: if its already mounted it'll stay mounted.  if you want it mounted at boot, put it in /etc/fstab (man fstab)
[06:13] <chalcedny> Madpilot, i did tht
[06:13] <chalcedny> that
[06:14] <innomen> ok i need help installing blueman, i have added the launch pad ppa source and it's key but blueman is still not showing up in synaptic
[06:14] <kermit> hornets: at least thats the old school way, there might be a fancy new ubuntu GUI way
[06:14] <hornets> kermit I use the fstab
[06:14] <hornets> but there's a problem
[06:14] <innomen> https://edge.launchpad.net/~blueman/+archive/ppa
[06:14] <innomen> what am i doing wrong?
[06:14] <Madpilot> chalcedny, try installing flash thru the repositories instead of via the website download?
[06:14] <hornets> If I turn on first my computer, and then my home server.
[06:14] <mralexandro> kevdog, good to know, but the sdl i just added some plugins there(guessed) but they have a webpage with a rpm install file. could i install that rpm file without trouble
[06:14] <Celroc> I'm sorry for the somewhat off-topic post, but will Crossover/WINE work on a AMD processor machine (in this case, a quad core)? I asked in the Crossover channel, but didn't get a reply
[06:15] <hornets> the NFS don't mount the partition.
[06:15] <chalcedny> hmmm
[06:15] <kermit> hornets: true, but once its mounted it wont unmount if you turn off the other computer
[06:15] <syntax> if you lock your self out of the login screen is there a way to pass it
[06:15] <chalcedny> why would where you got it, make a difference? Madpilot
[06:15] <histo> Celroc: yes
[06:15] <kermit> hornets: but you could just put it in a crontab
[06:15] <Celroc> histo: Thanks
[06:15] <kevdog> mralexandro: no idea what you are talking about
[06:16] <mralexandro> kevdog, http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
[06:16] <histo> Celroc: I can vouge fro wine working
[06:16] <Madpilot> chalcedny, it could, either way. But like I said, I don't run 64bit, and I haven't used the latest version of Opera
[06:16] <hornets> let me get the error message.
[06:16] <chalcedny> tried this time on firefox
[06:16] <Celroc> histo: Cool. If WINE works, the Crossover probably will work. Thanks :-)
[06:16] <chalcedny> i'll see if opera has better luck
[06:16] <innomen> this is very strange
[06:16] <JoeSomebody> help, i got a bitdefender free key because i have many drives, i cannot find the proper place to download a linux version to use that key, should be easy, NOT, ready to try avira or soemthing
[06:16] <histo> Celroc: I believe crossover has support since its a paid app
[06:17] <JoeSomebody> recommendations?
[06:17] <kevdog> mralexandro: hold on for a minute
[06:17] <bucky> mralexandro, what do you need ?  libsdl1.2-dev ?
[06:17] <andresmh> how can I start an application and make it so that it's window shows up on a specific workspace?
[06:17] <Celroc> histo: Thanks. I didn't know if the "x86 processor" requirement included AMD quad cores
[06:18] <chalcedny> Madpilot, appears it works on opera .. what's shockwave player?
[06:18] <Madpilot> chalcedny, like flash, but not quite. I'm not sure, TBH
[06:18] <mralexandro> bucky, well to be completely honest i am not sure, but i do believe i need it yes. i am learning to compile:)
[06:18] <histo> Celroc: yes it pretty much works on everything i've thrown at it cpu wise
[06:18] <Newbuntu2> how do I install a different version of ubuntu than the one which is on my live USB?
[06:18] <Celroc> histo: Awesome. Thanks!
[06:18] <chalcedny> guess i'll google then Madpilot :)
[06:19] <kevdog> What's wrong with the libsdl1.2-dev package?
[06:19] <histo> Newbuntu2: you can use the netinstaller and download the linux and initrd.img
[06:19] <hornets> kermit: heh, do you know where is stored NFS logs?
[06:19] <kevdog> mralexandro: What's wrong with the libsdl1.2-dev package?
[06:19] <mralexandro> kevdog, i have it?
[06:19] <mralexandro> ops
[06:19] <mralexandro> (embarrased)
[06:20] <indus> good morning
[06:21] <chalcedny> greetings Indus :)
[06:21] <indus> greetings
[06:22] <indus> could u tell me how to register nick
[06:22] <kevdog> mralexandro: Im out for today -- if you need more help just post in the forums -- also two commands you really need to get used to using are the sudo aptitude search <sounds like package name> and sudo apt-cache search <sounds like package name>.  The first command I usually run like this:  sudo aptitude search <sounds like package name> | grep ^i  -- This shows you currently installed packages
[06:22] <Prodego> indus: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[06:22] <indus> thank you
[06:23] <newser> anyone knows when is the next ubuntu distribution being released?
[06:23] <andresmh_> how does #ubuntu at freenode is different from this channel? (not trolling, seriously curious)
[06:23] <histo> !karmic | newser
[06:23] <andresmh_> ah, it's the same
[06:23] <andresmh_> doh
[06:23] <kevdog> mralexandro: sudo apt-cache search <sounds like package name> Gives you packages in the repositories that are related to what you are searching for.  So for example I just search sudo apt-cache search libsdl --- and a lot of packages were shown.  I skimmed the list to find libsdl1.2-dev
[06:24] <mralexandro> kevdog, serriously thanks man!:)
[06:24] <mralexandro> have a good night
[06:25] <mralexandro> kevdog, but after i got all
[06:25] <mralexandro> i write .autogen.sh?
[06:25] <mralexandro> then .configure
[06:25] <mralexandro> then .make
[06:25] <mralexandro> and last .make install?
[06:25] <kevdog> mralexandro: One last bummer -- The make failed -- /src/video/movie.cpp 306: error: strstr was not decared in this scope --- Oops -- sounds like time to write the developers
[06:25] <mralexandro> kevdog, oh:/
[06:26] <InDuS> ARENT nnicks case sensitive?
[06:27] <mralexandro> kevdog, should i try a earlier release?
[06:28] <bucky> mralexandro, which version is this?
[06:28] <InDuS> hi folks ,greetings from now registered nickname
[06:28] <InDuS> InDuS:

[06:31] <Alexia> Is the ubuntu-desktop package necessary
[06:31] <vince> Ok I am back, Was able to install the driver from Nvidia's website however it still will now load in the .30 kernel
[06:31] <ubuntunewbie> Thank you , hope someone can tell me what is " Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts."
[06:32] <mralexandro> bucky, i download now. where do i put it?
[06:32] <histo> anom01y: there are packages for ivtv in the repos
[06:32] <bucky> mralexandro, movie.cpp.patch ?
[06:32] <histo> !info ivtv
[06:32] <histo> anom01y: I thought there was. What are you trying to get working?
[06:32] <anom01y> histo, I tried them but I don't know how to use it
[06:33] <mralexandro> bucky,  sorry, yes:) thats the one
[06:33] <anom01y> histo, hauppauge pvr 150
[06:33] <anom01y> I can get it to work with v4l2 but its crappy quality video

[06:33] <anom01y> yes Jaunty
[06:34] <anom01y> I configure v4l2 with vlc player,
[06:34] <anom01y> but when it plays, there are verticle lines running through the video, and the lag is about 2 or 3 seconds
[06:35] <anom01y> is the lag normal ?   and, should I be using v4l2 or ivtv, or both ?
[06:35] <histo> anom01y: I haven't fired up my card for the longest time.
[06:35] <ubuntunewbie> bucky:how do I include the script?
[06:35] <histo> anom01y: the best bet is to ask the mythbuntu guys
[06:36] <histo> anom01y: they would have a lot of experience getting tv cards working etc...
[06:36] <bucky> mralexandro, patch -p1 < movie.cpp.patch might be patch -p0 < movie.cpp.patch
[06:36] <anom01y> nice
[06:36] <anom01y> thanks
[06:36] <histo> anom01y: #mythbuntu or www.mythbuntu.org

[06:39] <ingenioushax> How do I remove the compiz package, I have run "sudo apt-get remove compiz" and it remains, and it seems to be the issue with my windows.
[06:39] <Alexia> x802, do you mean you need the dhcp server to resend you the same ip you have now?
[06:40] <x802> Alexia, my local router. on 192.168.x.x. i want to ask for new ip
[06:40] <madhu_> kevdog. hi .i am using 9.04. how to open .chm file with this one
[06:41] <noiz777> anyone knows if i can messure the bandwidth being used at my router?
[06:41] <ubuntunewbie> bucky: I am installing a printer driver which I downloaded it as .rpm , when I convert it said I need a script.I found I need to include the script at the last 9th post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=592685
[06:41] <ubuntunewbie> bucky: sorry I really new to ubuntu
[06:41] <bucky> letsee
[06:41] <Alexia> madhu_, sudo apt-get install gnochm
[06:42] <nnull> noiz777, if you have telnet to it you can just ifconfig and monitor your tx send/recieved, info should also be in your http config for it..
[06:42] <baldrick> ubuntu 9.04 : Skype : Low microphone audio. Any advice
[06:43] <noiz777> nnull, thanks, is it possible to see how much each computer is consuming?
[06:43] <mralexandro> bucky, could you please tell me more spesific how i place and apply the patch. do i autogen.sh configure make make install then apply patch
[06:43] <maximo> just lost my cell lol
[06:43] <bastidrazor> vince, don't use the .30 kernel till karmic.. ?
[06:43] <sub[t]rnl> ingenioushax: do you get any errors when running sudo apt-get remove?
[06:43] <vince> bastidrazor: Fine, Can you tell me how to disable IPv6 in Kernel .28?
[06:44] <bastidrazor> vince, don't have a clue.
[06:44] <bucky> mralexandro, google for how to apply a patch
[06:44] <vince> Cause everything I find dosen't work until .29 or better.  This is rediculous I can deal with slow internet or I can deal with crap graphics
[06:44] <vince> Ubuntu is the desktop OS of today my ass!
[06:45] <dreamcage> lol
[06:45] <dreamcage> angry guys
[06:45] <mralexandro> bucky, roger, will do, but should i try to configure autegen and install first?
[06:45] <dreamcage> vince, which one is?
[06:45] <Flannel> !ipv6 | vince
[06:45] <dreamcage> vince, afterall i dont like none of them.... :D
[06:46] <ikonia> vince: tha'ts not appropriate
[06:46] <vince> Flannel I've been over that document 100 times, Everything in there either works only on 8.10
[06:47] <vince> or only works on 9.04 with the newer kernels
[06:47] <madhu_> alexia, thanx, should we install knochm
[06:47] <nnull> noiz777, yeah its possible: couple of options for that would be: setup a dedicated server on your lan with client monitoring software, or install a custom firmware on your router, or write your own scripts to do it --in order of difficulty/risk :)
[06:47] <vince> ikonia : Tell me why thats not appropriate?
[06:47] <bastidrazor> vince,  then use 8.10 till 9.10 comes out?
[06:47] <anom01y> !mythbuntu

[06:48] <alexyk> hey guys -- where do I get Java for UNR, with icons and all?
[06:48] <ikonia> vince: your comments about the desktop
[06:48] <alexyk> i.e. is there a .deb with Sun's Java?
[06:48] <ikonia> alexyk: it's in the package repo
[06:48] <ikonia> !java > alexyk
[06:48] <xangua> !jre
[06:48] <dreamcage> ikonia, do you think he is not polite?
[06:49] <ubuntunewbie> bucky: yes ,I am using pixma ip2500 printer.I can't find thedriver anywhere
[06:49] <vince> ikonia: Seriously? I'm not trying to be a jerk here but the Ubuntu Dev team are the ones who built IPv6 into the kernel and didn't give us any option of to disable it easily.  They either knew about the issue and didn't care, or didn't bother to check because there are literally thousands of results in Google documenting the issue.  Either scenario is simply inexcusable and I have had to fight this battle on EVERY computer I have installe
[06:49] <vince> d Ubuntu on
[06:49] <ubuntunewbie> bucky: the only option is to go to ubuntu forum , and I can';t even understand what I should do to install the driver.The guiding at ubuntu forum is complicated
[06:49] <noiz777> nnull haha ohh well i thought it could be easier, dont know much about routers, im actually having a hard time to see if i can access it through telnet hahaha
[06:49] <ikonia> vince: - then just contontrol your language in your comments if you're not trying to be a jerk, "seriously"
[06:50] <anom01y> !mythtv
[06:50] <jgornick> Hey guys, quick question.  I'm interested in starting my IRC bot (supybot) automatically when my machine starts.  Any ideas on the best way to do this?
[06:50] <mralexandro> bucky, download the package build on that link you gave me. terminal to cd /stratagus folder. then execute PKGBUILD ?
[06:50] <ikonia> jgornick: an init script ?
[06:50] <jgornick> ikonia, Is there a dummies guide to creating an init script?
[06:51] <ikonia> !boot > jgornick
[06:51] <ikonia> !upstart > jgornick
[06:51] <bucky> ubuntunewbie, according to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersCanon  the 5200 works and i'd try that driver first
[06:51] <dreamcage> i agree with my back part that ubuntuu is not that good
[06:51] <ikonia> dreamcage: don't use it then, or log bugs to improve it
[06:52] <jgornick> Funny, ubottu is a supybot :)
[06:52] <vince> ikonia: Ok fine how about this statement then, To say Ubuntu is ready for the desktop is a gross misrepresentation when the DEV team apparently can't even build a networking stack right or listen to their users issues as evidenced by aformentioned google searches.  There now that I took the one objectionable word out do you actualy have a comment to the issue at hand or do you just want to be room police?
[06:52] <sub[t]rnl> jgornick: check out /etc/init.d/skeleton.  Don't forget to update.rc the new script
[06:52] <ikonia> vince: how about don't moan or use language in a support channel, and log bugs to aid it to get better
[06:52] <bazhang> vince, file a bug then
[06:52] <dreamcage> that's the best way to do it but ive got live instead doing it
[06:53] <ubuntunewbie> bucky: Really ????? I wnet to the website but I still can't find ip2500. Ok will try it now.Will Report back :D
[06:53] <ikonia> dreamcage: check out launchpad.net
[06:53] <vince> [Bug 352841] Re: SCP over IPv6 address is very Slow. Takes Hours
[06:53] <ikonia> vince: progress it forward
[06:54] <Myrtti> vince: "this bug affects me too"
[06:54] <dreamcage> after all ikonia is right too... i mean if we dont like it... go home windows has a free call to solve ours problems
[06:54] <error404notfound> can i setup my own file transfer proxy like proxy.jabber.org for my local jabber setup?
[06:55] <ikonia> error404notfound: squid would work fine
[06:55] <InDuS> anom01y: use tvtime
[06:56] <InDuS> anom01y: myth tv is silly really
[06:56] <error404notfound> ikonia, so there is nothing special about proxy.jabber.org?
[06:56] <mralexandro> bucky, patch -p0 /usr/local/src/stratagus-2.2.4/video/movie.cpp /usr/local/src/movie.cpp.patch   ?
[06:56] <anom01y> tvtime
[06:56] <anom01y> !tvtime
[06:56] <ikonia> error404notfound: not that I'm aware of
[06:56] <InDuS> !info tvtime
[06:56] <error404notfound> ikonia, i see... thanks
[06:56] <cornet> vince: hang on i'm confused here - are you implying this is affecting your ipv4 stack as well ?
[06:56] <ikonia> error404notfound: you could also look at the socks5 product
[06:56] <InDuS> anom01y: setting up a 'database' to watch tv lol really
[06:57] <Jaha> meow
[06:57] <error404notfound> ikonia, hmm, okay running google
[06:57] <InDuS> anom01y: mythtv is way too complicated
[06:57] <ikonia> error404notfound: socks5 as a server is a little old now and not maintained as good as it should/was
[06:57] <InDuS> anom01y: also tvtime interface is delightfully simple
[06:58] <anom01y> InDuS, , will tvtime use ivtv ?
[06:58] <error404notfound> ikonia, hmmm, okay
[06:58] <InDuS> anom01y: yeah you need to tell me whats ivtv
[06:58] <mralexandro> bucky, can i use a pkgbuild or should i do the patch -p0 /usr/local/src/stratagus-2.2.4/video/movie.cpp /usr/local/src/movie.cpp.patch
[06:58] <anom01y> well its for a hauppauge pvr 150
[06:58] <bucky> mralexandro, cd  /usr/local/src/  && patch -p0 < movie.cpp.patch
[06:58] <anom01y> I guess

[07:00] <histo> anom01y: you can easily remove it
[07:00] <bucky> mralexandro, cd /usr/local/src/stratagus-2.2.4/video && patch -p0 ../../movie.cpp.patch
[07:00] <histo> anom01y: apt-get remove mythtv-control-center or use synaptic package manager
[07:00] <InDuS> anom01y: stay away from mythtv unless u want to record stuff
[07:01] <bucky> mralexandro, cd /usr/local/src/stratagus-2.2.4/video && patch -p0 < ../../movie.cpp.patch

[07:04] <bucky> ubuntunewbie, did you install the gutenburg driver package
[07:04] <anom01y> InDuS, ok I ran tvtime, and it says (in a big blue box), ivtv: invalid argument
[07:04] <anom01y> cannot open capture device /dev/video0
[07:04] <InDuS> anom01y: right click and do some stuff
[07:04] <InDuS> anom01y: ya thats ok

[07:15] <anom01y> how do I test itvt ?
[07:15] <anom01y> ivtv
[07:15] <Myrtti> Alexia: to investigate the bot
[07:15] <InDuS> anom01y: ya so u see, ivtv is built in to kernel no need to install
[07:15] <InDuS> anom01y: your card is detected fine
[07:15] <anom01y> ok, ok..
[07:15] <bucky> mralexandro, cd /usr/local/src/stratagus-2.2.4/video/  ls  is the patch there?
[07:15] <anom01y> I will get a screenshot
[07:15] <losher> anom01y: I usually do mplayer /dev/video0 and see if there's video...
[07:16] <InDuS> anom01y: is it a wintv pvr 50?
[07:16] <anom01y> wintv pvr 150
[07:16] <InDuS> exactly
[07:16] <InDuS> dont worry it will work fine, some /dev/video issues, i too had them
[07:16] <anom01y> mplayer /dev/video0 gives me a bunch of snow and fuzz
[07:16] <anom01y> like a tv with the cable unplugged (old tv)
[07:16] <bucky> mralexandro, patch -p0 < movie.cpp.patch
[07:17] <InDuS> anom01y: do  a ls -l /dev/video*
[07:17] <histo> anom01y: you have to tell it to be on a certain channel before /dev/video0 looks like a channel.
[07:17] <InDuS> anom01y: open tvtime and go to channel configuration
[07:17] <anom01y> http://pastebin.com/m44e0d3fc

[07:17] <InDuS> anom01y: :)
[07:18] <anom01y> oops
[07:18] <losher> anom01y: actually that static is a good sign. If it was broken you'd get 'cannot read device' or some such message...
[07:18] <mralexandro> bucky, that worked!
[07:18] <InDuS> anom01y: ya its good sign
[07:18] <mralexandro> now i can go on normal again yes?
[07:18] <anom01y> I think I need to change the channel its configured to the wrong one
[07:18] <anom01y> (or input)
[07:18] <InDuS> anom01y: goto channel config and select country from tv frequency
[07:19] <anom01y> InDuS, in tvtime ?
[07:19] <ubuntunewbie> bucky: downloaded and click the .deb but it said : "Error:Dependency is not satisfiable : cnijfilter-common"
[07:19] <InDuS> anom01y: yeah
[07:19] <InDuS> anom01y: right click >channel config> tv frequency or something> run your country scanner
[07:20] <InDuS> losher: what i have noticed is> linux generally gives those /dev/video errors until you run some application, i didnt have /video in /dev until i used tvtime etc
[07:20] <InDuS> neither video0 or video1
[07:21] <InDuS> for me video0 is webcam so i need to point tvtime to video 1
[07:21] <anom01y> there is no channel config in tvtime
[07:21] <anom01y> maybe a command line arg ?
[07:21] <InDuS> anom01y: no
[07:21] <InDuS> anom01y: right click u see channel configuration option?
[07:21] <losher> InDuS: can't say I noticed that, but I'm running mythtv on 8.04 LTS so it may not behave the same...
[07:22] <InDuS> losher: baah mythtv silly app
[07:22] <anom01y> no, no channel config
[07:22] <InDuS> anom01y: what options do u see
[07:22] <InDuS> anom01y: channel management?
[07:22] <anom01y> input config
[07:22] <anom01y> picture settings
[07:22] <anom01y> video processing

[07:22] <InDuS> anom01y: ok input
[07:23] <InDuS> anom01y: whats in there , make sure you select television or something
[07:23] <ubuntunewbie> bucky: any help ? :(
[07:23] <anom01y> I went through all options, there is nothing
[07:24] <InDuS> anom01y:can i see the screenshot
[07:24] <anom01y> sure
[07:25] <anom01y> InDuS, port forwarding ?
[07:25] <InDuS> anom01y: what?
[07:25] <InDuS> anom01y: i want a screenshot of the tvtime window
[07:25] <anom01y> I offered you the screenshot
[07:25] <InDuS> where
[07:26] <anom01y> I will re-do it
[07:26] <InDuS> anom01y: both were dmesg
[07:27] <anom01y> oh, sorry I was right-clicing your name and sending a file that way
[07:27] <anom01y> is there a website I can poste the pic on ?
[07:27] <losher> InDuS: is there some app you prefer to mythtv?

[07:28] <histo> anom01y: I thought pastebin could handle screenshots as well
[07:29] <InDuS> anom01y: image bin
[07:29] <InDuS> anom01y: ok for now close this and do a sudo tvtime from terminal
[07:29] <InDuS> anom01y: cos right now i see that it says cannot oepn /dev/video0
[07:30] <anom01y> well the sudo tvtime gives me the same thing as non sudo
[07:30] <anom01y> can't open /dev/video0
[07:30] <anom01y> but mplayer /dev/video0 gives me the snow and fuzz
[07:30] <histo> InDuS: is his user maybe not part of the proper group?
[07:30] <anom01y> with scratchy audio
[07:31] <histo> InDuS: nvm thats not it.
[07:31] <InDuS> histo: ya i read that nonsense somewhere, but when i restarted pc my problem went away
[07:31] <InDuS> histo: its possible
[07:31] <histo> InDuS: not if sudo isn't working either
[07:31] <InDuS> histo: you might be right,but its too complicated to explain
[07:31] <InDuS> histo: hmm
[07:31] <InDuS> anom01y: ok type /dev and keep pressing tab
[07:31] <histo> anom01y: /dev/video0 is going to show static untill you set the tuner to the proper channel
[07:32] <InDuS> anom01y: do u see a /video0 there?
[07:32] <histo> anom01y: is the card hooked up to antenna or cable box?
[07:32] <anom01y> no video0 there
[07:32] <InDuS> anom01y: aah no, it should not give error
[07:32] <anom01y> there is v4l
[07:32] <InDuS> anom01y: ok in a terminal type gstreamer-properties
[07:33] <anom01y> alright that is open
[07:33] <mralexandro> i just "compiled" stratagus, and excecuted make depend && make and got it doing  this down a thousand lines http://pastebin.com/d45e92757
[07:33] <mralexandro> i am confused now, did it or did it not go?
[07:33] <InDuS> anom01y: go to video input and select v4l2 and select your device
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: warnings are fine
[07:34] <boss_mc> mralexandro: sounds like it built fine
[07:34] <anom01y> ok thats done, there is three hauppauge win pvr 150's there
[07:34] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, really? they look so brutal:)
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: if you run: sudo make install and the copy steps are ok then the compile steps succeeded
[07:34] <InDuS> anom01y: 3? hmm funny
[07:34] <anom01y> I just picked one of them
[07:34] <InDuS> anom01y: ok test input now
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: depends really but tey look harmless enough, you should tell the developer you got those outputs
[07:35] <boss_mc> mralexandro: the most common of them 'warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’' is a warning that only exists in newer versions of gcc
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: dont use pastebin to tell them as the paste will eventually expire
[07:35] <anom01y> InDuS, ok
[07:35] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, cool, i am way over my head now, will email him the text then:)
[07:35] <anom01y> the three in there changed in the pipeline field video0 to video24, and then video32
[07:36] <InDuS> anom01y: hmm video24
[07:36] <InDuS> anom01y: thats interesting
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: you'll never learn unless you try something new and scary
[07:36] <anom01y> all of them give me an error when testing video input, error msg "could not negotiate format"
[07:36] <InDuS> anom01y: ok
[07:36] <anom01y> video 4 linux 2 (v4l2): could not negotiate format
[07:37] <InDuS> anom01y: ok which version of ubuntu is this
[07:37] <anom01y> how do I get rid of /dev/video24, and /dev/video32 ?
[07:37] <anom01y> InDuS, Jaunty
[07:37] <InDuS> anom01y: no need, just leave it there

[07:38] <anom01y> when I change "plugin" to "test input" and then hit test, I get a screen with a bunch of verticle colored lines, and a small screen in the corner of that with the fuzz
[07:38] <InDuS> anom01y: please reboot system once with all updates
[07:38] <anom01y> hold up for a screenshot
[07:38] <anom01y> I will reboot
[07:38] <anom01y> one sec
[07:39] <poyntz> I really don't want to install pidgin, how do I stop it coming up in the repo?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: it will always show up in searches
[07:40] <ntiy> sudo apt-get remove pidgin ??
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> ntiy: this is ubuntu support, not fortran, try #fortran or #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:40] <kindofabuzz> when getting large files via ftp from my server, the speed declines the whole time. starts fast ends slow. any way to fix this? or is this normal?
[07:40] <poyntz> ntiy: I don't have pidgin installed. I'm saying that when I do a apt-get update, it suggests I installed it
[07:40] <ntiy> yea, I know that. just taking a chance. those guys a usually slow.
[07:40] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: so there's no way I could apt-get update -pidget
[07:41] <poyntz> ntiy: no worries. thanks anyhow :P
[07:42] <anom01y> k Im back
[07:42] <anom01y> InDuS, tvtime gives me same prob
[07:42] <InDuS> anom01y: wait
[07:43] <InDuS> anom01y: go to system>admin>users and groups
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: you can just upgrade pidgin if you like with: sudo apt-get install --reinstall pidgin
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: what are you wanting to achieve?
[07:43] <InDuS> anom01y: once that /dev/video is created your problem is solved
[07:43] <anom01y> ok Im in the groups and users
[07:44] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I'm trying to get pidgen-data to disappear from apt-get update / update manager
[07:44] <rikki_max> LOL
[07:44] <InDuS> anom01y: go to manage groups and see if u have a group called video
[07:44] <rikki_max> LOL
[07:44] <Phaux> Anyone know how to turn off the option to switch workspaces with the scroll button on a mouse in an empty area?
[07:44] <rikki_max> LOL
[07:44] <poyntz> !spam | rikki_max
[07:44] <rikki_max> LOL
[07:44] <rikki_max> LOL
[07:44] <anom01y> InDuS, no video
[07:44] <InDuS> rikki_max: whats the problem loler?
[07:45] <rikki_max> sry was testing something on another network
[07:45] <poyntz> lol
[07:45] <rikki_max> LOL
[07:45] <anom01y> create it
[07:45] <Myrtti> and almost getting banned
[07:45] <anom01y> ?
[07:45] <rikki_max> i removed it now
[07:45] <InDuS> anom01y: yea probably
[07:45]  * poyntz wonders what LOL spam could ever hope to achieve
[07:45] <jgornick> In Ubuntu, can you have a group and user of the same name?
[07:45] <InDuS> anom01y: ok create 1 named video
[07:45] <ubuntunewbie> bucky: any help ? :(
[07:46] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: also trying to get rid of those lib-purple, etc updates
[07:46] <anom01y> ok thats done
[07:46] <anom01y> reboot
[07:46] <anom01y> ?
[07:46] <InDuS> anom01y: no no
[07:46] <InDuS> anom01y: no need to
[07:46] <anom01y> ok
[07:46] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I don't need it. I have bitlbee and it doesn't everything I need
[07:46] <InDuS> anom01y: do u have a webcam?
[07:46] <anom01y> yeah
[07:46] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: *does
[07:47] <InDuS> anom01y: where is it? which device node
[07:47] <anom01y> It was working with /dev/video1 when I plugged it in
[07:47] <InDuS> anom01y: exactly
[07:47] <_TJ> wow... feels weird to be back on ubuntu
[07:47] <InDuS> anom01y: plug it in please
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: so why are you asking of pidgin?
[07:47] <anom01y> /dev/video0 has always been my pvr (when it used to work)
[07:47] <InDuS> anom01y: it used to work? when
[07:47] <histo> What is the proper way to specify a video driver in jaunty for xorg?
[07:47] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: nothing to do with pidgin (or atleast I don't think it does). It's to do with update manager and apt-get update
[07:48] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: basically I want to eliminate the pidgin install suggestion from the repository
[07:48] <histo> Is there some magical trick other than xorg.conf that the restricted manager is using?
[07:48] <InDuS> anom01y: try this sudo mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
[07:48] <anom01y> way back in ubuntu 8.04 (years ago)
[07:48] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I hate having to install stuff and then delete it, just because I can't get it out of the repo
[07:48] <poyntz> anom01y: hey, i had 8.04 :P
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: you may be able to blacklist it but I'm not sure. If you do not want it installing as part of a standard install you can remaster the CD
[07:49] <minsa> it is taking a full 4.5 to 5 seconds from DNS response to TCP/http request ... I can't seem to find the bottleneck...   ping works fine.. very responsive...
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> !mp3
[07:49] <Vero> i'm listening to Cascada with Ready Or Not since 01:11
[07:49] <anom01y> InDuS, /dev/video0 exists ?
[07:49] <minsa> this is making life very miserable now.. any help would be appreciated
[07:49] <InDuS> anom01y: excellent
[07:49] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, i got stratagus "working" but what excactly am i missing?
[07:49] <losher> anom01y: you know what. Stop messing about in Jaunty and go back to 8.04 LTS. It just works...
[07:49] <InDuS> anom01y: no in terminal type /dev and keep p[ressing tab
[07:49] <cornet> poyntz: what else is it wanting to install/upgrade
[07:50] <InDuS> anom01y: u see the /dev/video0 now?
[07:50] <anom01y> InDuS, there is no video0 in that list
[07:50] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: it's just bizarre. I had it on Hardy, I deleted it. It never bothered me all through Intrepid and now on Jaunty it's bugging me again
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: type its name in a terminal and hit enter
[07:50] <InDuS> anom01y: aah but its somewhere
[07:50] <anom01y> /dev/v4l ?
[07:50] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: as in, update manager keeps asking me to install it
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: maybe its part of a metapackage
[07:50] <Phaux> Anyone know how to turn off the option to switch workspaces with the scroll button on a mouse in an empty area?
[07:50] <InDuS> anom01y: hmm check inside that
[07:50] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: possibly. I could try to blacklist it, like you said. How could I do that?
[07:50] <InDuS> anom01y: if you can find it it will be nice , we could just point to it
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: not sure dude, sorry
[07:50] <InDuS> anom01y: ls -l /dev/video0
[07:51] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: thanks anyhow :)
[07:51] <anom01y> ls /dev/video0 shows it
[07:51] <poyntz> cornet: it wants to install pidgin
[07:51] <InDuS> anom01y: ok wait let me google a little
[07:51] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, i have to type .startagus -d   that is beacause you have to have games in order to use it
[07:52] <mahmood> i have a question is it possible to have a video call with skype on ubuntu?
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: how do you mean "have to have games"
[07:52] <mahmood> i have a question is it possible to have a video call with skype on ubuntu?
[07:52] <poyntz> cornet: it made me install firefox-3.0 updates when I was on Shiretoko. now it wants me to install pidgin
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> mahmood: sure
[07:52] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, i can not just enter it in terminal. i have to go into the games folder and type stratagus
[07:52] <mahmood> how could you explain?
[07:52] <mralexandro> its like wine i guess:D
[07:52] <anom01y> InDuS,
[07:52]  * poyntz can't wait till firefox merges with shiretoko as a package
[07:53] <anom01y> I can get it to work with VLC
[07:53] <InDuS> anom01y: really?
[07:53] <anom01y> in capture settings, but I have to change the audio channel to 1 and the video channel to 2
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: if you have the ubuntu-desktop package installed it will install firefox 3 and pidgin each update. If you dont have one of those you cannot up to the next release
[07:53] <anom01y> then I have to lower the audio quality dramatically
[07:53] <InDuS> anom01y: iam wondering whether we can make pvr to video1
[07:53] <anom01y> because it'
[07:53] <anom01y> its really choppy,
[07:53] <anom01y> and the video has verticle lines through it
[07:54] <anom01y> wow
[07:54] <anom01y> InDuS,
[07:54] <InDuS> anom01y: yeah
[07:54] <anom01y> no more vericle lines
[07:55] <InDuS> anom01y: hmm
[07:55] <anom01y> looks great
[07:55] <anom01y> in vlc
[07:55] <InDuS> anom01y: really? in vlc it tunes?
[07:55] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: when you say the ubuntu desktop package, do you mean ubuntu desktop as opposed to ubuntu server?
[07:55] <InDuS> anom01y: vlc was always smart in these things
[07:55] <anom01y> InDuS, vlc works great
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> !info ubuntu-server
[07:55] <anom01y> mplayer doesnt tune
[07:56] <InDuS> anom01y: it tunes tv channels?
[07:56] <anom01y> tvtime doesnt do anything
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: ubuntu-server isnt a package
[07:56] <anom01y> yeah
[07:56] <anom01y> I have to set audio to channel 1 and video to channel 2
[07:56] <InDuS> anom01y: tvtime cant get the device node, but its nice for my use
[07:56] <InDuS> anom01y: in your case, tvtime wont see /dev/video0
[07:56] <InDuS> anom01y: or all will work fine
[07:56] <anom01y> looks like vlc is my new best friend
[07:56] <InDuS> anom01y: how come you didnt try vlc before?
[07:56] <c0l2e> i got this error "Gave up waitinng for root device ".... while booting on  pxe to install ubuntu
[07:56] <c0l2e> how can i fix that??
[07:56] <anom01y> just thought of it
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: the ubuntu-desktop metapackage contains pidgin so you will get it each time yuo upgrade and ubuntu-desktop gets reinstalled. The installer will install the package
[07:57] <gogeta> vlc is everyons frend
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: its nothing to do with the server
[07:57] <shashwatpns> how do i increase my video memory
[07:57] <InDuS> anom01y: ya it works too i heard,but i could nt find option to tune channels
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: mplayer here, oldest and wisest
[07:57] <InDuS> anom01y: where is that?
[07:57] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: ahhhh. so should I uninstall it? or will that stuff things up?
[07:57] <gogeta> shashwatpns: in your bios new cards do it auto
[07:58] <InDuS> anyone knows what to do if i cant see /dev/video?
[07:58] <xim_> does anyone use ktorrent in jaunty?
[07:58] <SkyNetMaster> hi Im using kyle under gnome, and for some creapy reason couple of wrong spellings words have found then self in my dictionary, I have reinstalled dictionary, but the words are still here. so I guees I need to remove some local file, but which?
[07:58] <cornet> poyntz: personally i'd just deal with the fact it's gonna install pidgin
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: you can remove it but wen you try to jump to the next release you wont be able without installing the metapackage again and therefore pidgin
[07:58] <cornet> poyntz: don't start removing ubuntu-desktop
[07:58] <Ubuntu> gogeta : but how doi do that ?
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> cornet: you can, it is a hollow metapackage
[07:58] <error404notfound> ikonia, i tried with a squid setup, and it didn't work... i input proxy as ip:3128
[07:58] <gogeta> if you have no option to increase your video then its a auto style
[07:59] <poyntz> cornet, ActionParsnip : ok, so what happens if I install pidgin and then uninstall it?
[07:59] <InDuS> anom01y: so which channel are you watching :)
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: it will be removed
[07:59] <ubuntunewbie> Which channel of ubuntu specified on printer driver ?
[07:59] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: what will be removed
[07:59] <gogeta> if using a gma serise linux drivers are slow not a thing you can relly do
[07:59] <jgornick> If I have supybot being started as a daemon through an init script, where should I keep all config, data, plugins, etc.. ?  /var/lib/supybot/ or /etc/supybot/?
[07:59] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: hmm. 2072kbs it costs
[07:59] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: actually, come to think of it that's nothing lol
[07:59] <cornet> ActionParsnip: ah
[07:59] <anom01y> arrg
[08:00] <anom01y> InDuS,
[08:00] <InDuS> anom01y: yeah
[08:00] <anom01y> I forgot, there is a lag
[08:00] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: and if I remove it, how much of that 2072kbs will remain?
[08:00] <InDuS> anom01y: well iam trying that dev video thing
[08:00] <anom01y> I was trying to play a game console through it, but the lag is about 1-2 seconds
[08:00] <InDuS> anom01y: game console hmm
[08:00] <ubuntunewbie> Which channel of ubuntu specified on printer driver ?
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: true i'm that way too. i have a script to gut ubuntu after a clean install
[08:00] <anom01y> it looks great, but when you press buttons on the controller nothing happens on the screen for about 2 seconds
[08:01] <anom01y> ahh well
[08:01] <anom01y> its good I have it working
[08:01] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: that's awesome. did you write it?
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: sudo apt-get --reinstall install pidgin; sudo apt-get --purge remove pidgin; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[08:01] <anom01y> because I have alot of old conspiracy documentries on vcr that I need to record to the computer
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: yeah. i script everything
[08:01] <gogeta> anom01y: vga cable and a switch no leg then
[08:01] <gogeta> hehe
[08:01] <anom01y> so thats an important priority for me, as you can't get half these documentaries anymore
[08:02] <InDuS> anom01y: i have lots of issues with tvtime on karmic though
[08:02] <Gnea> hrm
[08:02] <xim_> ActionParsnip: funny, i have a script to fatten ubuntu after a clean install
[08:02] <InDuS> anom01y: stops tuning
[08:02] <anom01y> gogeta, yeah I have a vga -> composite, but the output from the console is component
[08:02] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: sweet. one day I might get off my arse and start doing it for myself as well lol.
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: if you remove a metapackage, only the metapackage is removed, its contents stand
[08:02] <gogeta> anom01y: get a vga cable for console
[08:02] <Gnea> anom01y: have you tried mythtv?
[08:02] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: hmm devs will let pidgin remain in upgrade
[08:03] <InDuS> nvm
[08:03] <anom01y> Gnea, it sets up servers and databases
[08:03] <anom01y> Im fine with vlc
[08:03] <InDuS> i boycott mythtv
[08:03] <allart> Hi, is there any way how to "restart" keyboard layout settings? I have set two layouts but wwithing between them doesnt work. Even if I have keyboard indicator on panel.
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: its just a big lot of apt-get to remove what i never use, like openoffice and gimp. then install good stuff like lxde and flash and java and nvidia drivers. nice and automated
[08:03] <Gnea> anom01y: ah okay, well good luck with that
[08:03] <anom01y> works great
[08:03] <InDuS> i couldnt stop laughing when it asked me to install databases and what not
[08:03] <mralexandro> pls tell me that xchat supports log
[08:04] <InDuS> to watch tv!
[08:04] <mralexandro> and that i have a log
[08:04] <Gnea> what's wrong with databases?
[08:04] <Gnea> InDuS: you don't know much about dvrs, do you? :)
[08:04] <InDuS> Gnea: never heard of it
[08:04] <xim_> anom01y: dude just get new conspiracty videos.  theres enough on torrent to play sequentially until your grandkids die
[08:04] <Gnea> ....
[08:04] <Gnea> wow
[08:04] <InDuS> Gnea: i just want to watch some tv
[08:04] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: what do you use instead of openoffice?
[08:04] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: AbiWord?
[08:04] <c0l2e> Gave up waiting for root device .. when booting on pxe using cdrom installer
[08:04] <Gnea> InDuS: what's to boycott? mythtv is a DVR in software
[08:04] <c0l2e> how can I fix that?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: abiword
[08:05] <mralexandro> how do i view log in xchat?
[08:05] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I thought so. Does it format better than writer?
[08:05] <anom01y> Gnea, I haven't had to change channels yet, but vlc does change the channel
[08:05] <Gnea> InDuS: DVR is like a VCR, but it records in digital, usually mpegs
[08:05] <anom01y> it looks like
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: OOo is 500Mb installed. Abiword is a few Mbs
[08:05] <InDuS> Gnea: dont want to setup backend, front end, dont want to set some passowrds for mythtv user, dont like to do those mythtvdatabasefills,
[08:05] <anom01y> and records
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: its pretty much the same
[08:05] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: ahh k. so sever resource advantages
[08:05] <daman841> Gnea: Do you know any good pci or pcix cards that accept multiple cablecards?
[08:05] <InDuS> Gnea: its outrageously stupid
[08:05] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: so if I open up a doc file it will look retarded
[08:05] <Gnea> anom01y: I'm just suggesting, for the amount of work you want to do, and for the type of quality you'd like to achieve, mythtv *may* be a better way to go. but, if you can do it with vlc, my hat's off to you.
[08:06] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone know german language ??? please ?
[08:06] <InDuS> Gnea: spent 1 day wasting on that just to watch some tv
[08:06] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: because that's OOo for you
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: if yuo're running a server you shouldnt be running an x server
[08:06] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone know german language ??? please ? I need help http://www.ubuntu-forum.de/artikel/28303/canon-ip-2500-druckt-nicht.html
[08:06] <Gnea> daman841: anything by hauppage is good
[08:06] <InDuS> Gnea: then through the miracle of google, i found tvtime
[08:06] <ubuntunewbie> please
[08:06] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I'm not running a server. i'm using ubuntu desktop. I need all the useless features that are aesthetically pleasing :)
[08:06] <InDuS> Gnea: ya in anom01y case mythtv seems suited for it
[08:06] <Gnea> InDuS: doesn't seem too stupid to me, tvtime is designed to watch tv and nothing more. even synaptic or apt-cache could tell you that :)
[08:07] <dreamcage> ppl you shold work with ruby
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i like slickness, hence lxde
[08:07] <anom01y> everythings going digital nowadays anyways, I won't need to tune old analog coax inputs
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: less aethetics == less ram use
[08:07] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: that said, if it's not something that enhances usability (such as compiz), I tend to pick lighter versions of software. For example, alpine for email, bitlbee for IM
[08:07] <anom01y> I'm using the video/audio plugins at the back of the tuner card
[08:07] <InDuS> Gnea: but its not really all over the forums not famous, i was brainwashed to use mythtv and couldnt stop laughing at the outrageous amount of config needed
[08:07] <Gnea> InDuS: if you don't want to use it, then don't. clearly, mythtv isn't suited for YOUR needs. to boycott it is counterproductive.
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i dont find compiz aids usability personally. its just a tonne of gloss
[08:08] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: yeah, mine's shocking. I have to plug mine into power because it runs the battery flat so quick
[08:08] <InDuS> Gnea: all i wanted was see some tv, found tvtime, the brilliantly simple interface i setup in 5 min
[08:09] <anom01y> one channel only on video/audio rca plugins. I don't think I will ever use the coaxial input
[08:09] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: it's great how you can change workstations so easily and move running programs from workstation to workstation
[08:09] <InDuS> Gnea: wasteda aday with 'IS the database running' errors , yeah right whats a database
[08:09] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: but that said, most of the features of compiz I have disabled
[08:09] <InDuS> Gnea: they need to have a mythtv lite edition for sure
[08:09] <anom01y> I did notice that mythtv is able to set up with the remote control I got with my tv/tuner card thoguh, which is cool
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i just use LXDE, nice and light
[08:09] <InDuS> anom01y: my remote didnt work with neither ones
[08:09] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: also, Awn is nice because you can have big bright icons to launch progs
[08:09] <Gnea> InDuS: okay, so it took you a whole day. it took me 3 *months* to get a better X interface about 10 years ago. I really don't think you went through anything too traumatic to deserve a boycott of a software that works great for thousands of users :)
[08:10] <ubuntunewbie> what is "cups missing filter" ?
[08:10] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: when I'm drunk I like having big bright icons to launch progs
[08:10] <anom01y> I just bought it for the video/audio input jacks though, not the coaxial support. and the remote is for controlling the coaxial input only
[08:10] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: KISS principle
[08:10] <InDuS> Gnea: heh ok but it needs a lite edition wihc can be easily done iam sure, maybe ill do it myself
[08:10] <poyntz> so does lxde do everything - aka video, music, etc
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i use terminal for most things and simply type the names of my scripts or the commands themselves to launch apps
[08:10] <Gnea> InDuS: I'm sure they and everyone else would appreciate it :)
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: exactly
[08:10] <anom01y> so I put my remote in a box in my closet
[08:10] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: so you prob use mplayer for music...
[08:11] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: and then for vid, what do you use, and what's the quality like?
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i use mplayer for all
[08:11] <InDuS> Gnea: i had this in mind for new users, asking crazy tech stuff like database passowrdds is scary
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i use vlc sometimes as my G1 phone talks to it noce
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> *nice
[08:11] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: nice. it's a great little player
[08:12] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: but like you I also like VLC
[08:12] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: VLC tends to be able to do more
[08:12] <InDuS> Gnea: it installs a whole lot of nonsense, then the configuration omg really
[08:12] <Gnea> InDuS: well, we usually recommend apps like tvtime to new users - not sure who led you astray, but perhaps it's not too late to steer away from all of that nonsense..
[08:12]  * mneptok pulls out the "offtopic" banner, just in case
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i like a command line interface and vlc-nox runs pretty decent
[08:12] <InDuS> Gnea: well google andforums i guess
[08:12] <InDuS> Gnea: mythtv front end, mythtv backend ,lol configure devices bla  bla
[08:13] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I guess it's what you're used to. For basic tasks, click suits me. For file management, process prioritisation, installs, etc I use command
[08:13] <InDuS> Gnea: ok ill drop it EOD
[08:13] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: calc and dict are also handy command apps
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i use nearly all cli, only time i use the mouse is when i web browse
[08:13] <Gnea> InDuS: ah, okay, it's just the way things line up for you, or the way you pieced them together - understandable. still, I wouldn't take a whole day and piss all over it like that, there's better things to worry about. TV works for you now, so maybe you might think twice about mythtv in the future if you decide you want to record your shows :)
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: bc ;)
[08:13] <poyntz> bc - what's that?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: type it in a terminal
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: then type some mathematical sums
[08:14] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: why would you use that over python?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: its simple and does the job
[08:14] <error404notfound> any ideas on how to setup a socks5 proxy server for jabber file transfer proxy?
[08:15] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: but you already have python installed... actually yeah, bc is installed
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: python is a language too, not an app
[08:15] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: however you prob need python more
[08:15] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: when I say python here I mean the prog
[08:15] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: before I installed calc I used python
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: pyton the program is an interpreter
[08:16] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: but it does maths
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: its not a calculator app
[08:16] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: like I said, it does maths
[08:16] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: you enter calculations in and it does them
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: how do yuo launch it?
[08:16] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: but I didn't like the way it rounded things off
[08:16] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: typing "python" in command
[08:17] <konflict> Hello all..  I have tried to make a bootable USB stick using UNetBootIN..  I am currently running Vista on the machine I'm trying to boot it from.  Anyways, it starts to boot off the USB stick and flashes a bunch of debug info, like some grub info or something but its too fast too read, and then it never loads Ubuntu after that, it just proceeds to load Vista :(  I notice something when the info flashes about "Vista Loader" ..  A
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i'll give it a whirl
[08:17] <reeniginEesreveR> can i setup a mailsrerver on a subdomain? any tutorial on setting up qmail on ubuntu?
[08:17] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: go ahead, but I prefer calc because it's more calculation friendly (in my opinion)
[08:18] <Phaux> Anyone know how to turn off the option to switch workspaces with the scroll button on a mouse in an empty area?
[08:18] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: and you can do calc calculations by simply typing calc 3+5 in command
[08:18] <phreck> Phaux: turn off compiz
[08:18] <phreck> or reconfigure your bindings in userspace switching.
[08:18] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I've just realised that when I say calc, I don't mean calc
[08:18] <Phaux> phreck: where is the binding list located?
[08:19] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I've bound whatever program I'm running to c so I just type c 3+5
[08:19] <phreck> do you have the compiz config settings manager installed Phaux??
[08:19] <Phaux> yea
[08:19] <phreck> open it up
[08:19] <ubuntunewbie> what is "cups missing filter" ? any help pleaseeee
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: not bad this python lark, might have to alias :D
[08:19] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: ok, it's not calc, it's qalc
[08:19] <phreck> should be in the options where you choose expo/desktopwall/cube
[08:19] <phreck> dont remember the exact
[08:20] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: yeah, alias to c maybe
[08:20] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I like one letter commands lol. c = calc; d = dict, i = sudo apt-get install; update = sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:21] <Phaux> phreck: cool found it, thanks
[08:21] <phreck> Phaux: np
[08:21] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: so yeah, typing update is so much more convenient than using the GUI
[08:22] <linny> could anyone tell me how to autostart a program that needs sudo ?
[08:22] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: it's the same in irssi - all my /commands are bound to one letter aliases
[08:22] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: apart from maybe /wio = /window immortal off
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i use 'fullupgrde' and i use -y --force-yes in it too, it is cron'd to run at 4am every day
[08:22] <hornets> histo: done installing vbox + msoffice

[08:24] <Guest61690> hello
[08:24] <Guest61690> ????

[08:26] <ejv> i just answered your question Guest61690
[08:26] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I don't know what you're knowledge is of hardware, you may be more of a software person
[08:26] <ejv> pay attention
[08:26] <Guest61690> where
[08:26] <grawity> ejv: It's #ubuntu, you'd better get used to such persons
[08:26] <Guest61690> no
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: just wiki'd it, ys its dual homed
[08:27] <Guest61690> you didnt answered
[08:27] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: there's packet filtering firewalls, dual-homed firewalls, etc.
[08:27] <phreck> lol
[08:27] <dsdeiz> hi again! i've settled for elinks.. is it possible for youtube videos to be opened with mplayer through elinks? :-/
[08:27] <ejv> and name calling wont' get you help, you're now ignored
[08:27] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I did my Bachelor's degree in Information Systems
[08:27] <hornets> ubuntunewbie: can be something with the "hosts"
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i'm great at networking, got my BSc in computer comms :D
[08:27] <kermit> grawity: thanks
[08:27] <hornets> deny and allow.
[08:27] <jgornick> Hey guys, looking for some guidance of when I should launch my init.d script to launch my supybot script?
[08:27] <Guest61690> ls
[08:27] <george_> i need to know how to connect ubuntu to wireleeesnetork
[08:27] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: ack. so I think it's like I said. you're better at the software side of things
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: ahhhh you meant bastion host, yes it performs that
[08:27] <ubuntunewbie> hornets : I install a printer driver .pps but it said cups missing filter".and it can't print
[08:27] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: my degrees general system stuff
[08:27] <grawity> jgornick: I somehow don't think bots should be launched from init.d...
[08:28] <hornets> ubuntunewbie: did you tried to restart the cups service?
[08:28] <ubuntunewbie> hornets : I really need help fixing it for printing
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: mines protocols, technologys and topologys
[08:28] <jgornick> grawity, besides that fact :)
[08:28] <ubuntunewbie> hornets : how to restart ?
[08:28] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: not 100%. there's a few types that use a bastion host
[08:28] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: dual homed means there's two NICs and NAT translation
[08:28] <ejv> hahaha
[08:28] <ejv> gj mneptok :D
[08:28] <gnhk666> anyone got time to help a newbie with wireless??? please!!!
[08:28] <hornets> -> /sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[08:28] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: NICs being Network Interface Cards
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: from the description i'd say it was but i could be wrong. it forards port si want and drops any incomming connections on the rest
[08:29] <phreck> man
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i know what a NIC is sheesh
[08:29] <phreck> this place is LoLz right now.
[08:29] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: lol
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: yes it does have 2 nics
[08:29] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I thought what you were saying is firewall related
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: one goes to the modem, the others are for the connections and an antennae
[08:29] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: sorry I think of the router/firewall as being separated
[08:29] <phreck> if ive got two internal wifi chipsets can i do the same thing with them?
[08:29] <jgornick> grawity, I guess I'm looking for a runlevels and index when it should run?
[08:30] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: I'm doing my Honours thesis in information security :P
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: nat performs basic firewalling
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: nice
[08:30] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: so don't start hacking me to prove a point :P
[08:30] <Crayboff> alright, i'm using irssi for the first time and got nicklist.pl, however i'm can't get it to scroll through lists
[08:30] <grawity> jgornick: Ubuntu uses Upstart, which makes all runlevels basically equal.
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: i dont hack. i have better things to do with my time
[08:30] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: LOL too true!
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> poyntz: like see the world and party
[08:31] <Crayboff> well scrolling through isn't a problem, it's the binding
[08:31] <grawity> jgornick: After writing the init.d script, take a look at update-rc.d
[08:31] <jgornick> grawity, so, should I use something like update-rc.d myscript default ?
[08:31] <poyntz> ActionParsnip: but yeah, I don't hack. I try to eliminate the potential for threats such as hacking to manifest
[08:31] <Crayboff> i want to bind a command in irssi, and /bind meta-up isn't working
[08:31] <Boohbah> Crayboff: /j #irssi
[08:32] <linny> could anyone tell me how to autostart a program that needs sudo ? I read the man page and I think it something like -S but sudo -S <password> <command> doesn't work ?
[08:32] <grawity> Crayboff: Try binding to meta-meta-[-A
[08:32] <grawity> linny: Autostart from where?
[08:32] <grawity> Crayboff: Or meta2-[-A
[08:32] <linny> a script
[08:32] <c0l2e> current the netboot=nfs working in network install but I wish to install ubuntu using a http repo locally. how can I do that ??
[08:32] <grawity> linny: _What_ script?
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> linny: add it to /etc/rc.local
[08:33] <c0l2e> doing the ftfpbook
[08:33] <InDuS> Gnea: i do want to record,but i had issues getting tv working with wythtv
[08:33] <linny> autostart.sh
[08:33] <c0l2e> tftpboot
[08:33] <InDuS> Gnea: but ill give it  a try another time,right now iam having problem with karmic and tvtime
[08:33] <mralexandro> can anytone tell me how to do this excactly. in terminal ? http://pastebin.com/m2035fb0c
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> linny: gksudo gedit /etc.rc.local
[08:34] <Crayboff> grawity: what does that do?
[08:34] <Gnea> InDuS: aaah, well, karmic isn't a stable release, so problems are to be expected - good luck
[08:34] <linny> im actually running openbox on ubuntu atm ? can I still do that ?
[08:34] <InDuS> Gnea: ya did file abug
[08:34] <ubuntunewbie> hornets : restart with "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" but still say "cups-missing-filter" any help guys ?
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> linny: as root can only write to the file (and sudo folks) the commands will be ran with elevated priveledges
[08:34] <ubuntunewbie> restart with "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" but still say "cups-missing-filter" any help guys ?
[08:34] <linny> won't gksudo still ask for a password ?
[08:34] <jamieleshaw> Hello, Is there a clipboard manager which sllows you to autmatically remove formatting when you copy something?
[08:34] <jamieleshaw> allows*
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> linny: thats only to edit the file. you write your command/s in th file without sudo
[08:35] <linny> ActionParsnip: I need to run tinyproxy it won't run unless its ran with sudo
[08:35] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, can you look at this:) i guess i should now by now how, but i have to get some help here http://pastebin.com/m2035fb0c
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> linny: then add it to /etc/rc.local and it will run after all the startup stuff has ran
[08:35] <InDuS> Gnea: about lirc, did it work out of the box for u with mythtv?
[08:36] <Gnea> InDuS: no, always have had to configure lirc, usually manually
[08:36] <InDuS> Gnea: right now,i can only use it with system ,mute system volume,and power off shuts down system
[08:36] <jamieleshaw> Hello, Is there a clipboard manager which allows you to automatically remove formatting when you copy something?
[08:36] <linny> that's my question how do I add it so it starts silently and doesn't ask for password ?
[08:37] <Gnea> InDuS: yeah, you'd have to edit the config file to tell the different buttons what you want them to do.. there's a procedure for getting all of the button codes from the remote and then mapping them
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> linny: i've told you 3 times now. Add it to /etc/rc.local
[08:37] <linny> add what just sudo tinyproxy ?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> linny: whatever makes it run, add it to that file but aove the exit line
[08:37] <InDuS> Gnea: ya i need that procedure
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> linny: and without sudo as its not needed as root is running it so sudo isnt needed
[08:38] <Gnea> InDuS: pretty sure the mythtv site has a link to it, i think it uses irevent or something like that
[08:38] <linny> I see I didn't realise that thank you
[08:38] <dsdeiz> ActionParsnip: is that how to stop applications that run upon boot up stop?
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: no idea about any ofthat man, i just run pidgin as is
[08:38] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, hehe ok, but do you know that file GTK2_RC_FILES ?
[08:38] <ubuntunewbie> I tried restart with "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" but still say "cups-missing-filter" any help guys ?
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> dsdeiz: you can use the startup manager or bum to edit the startup but to add items to run with more power you can add them to /etc/rc.local
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: no idea, sorry
[08:39] <mralexandro> ok:)
[08:39] <gnhk666> help please, newbie can't figure out wireless on his laptop...help help help...please please please

[08:40] <Gnea> !laptop | gnhk666
[08:40] <jamieleshaw> Hello, Is there a clipboard application which allows you to automatically remove formatting when you copy something?
[08:41] <gnhk666> dell d630
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> gnhk666: you have given no information of your issue other than its wifi releated, can you please furnish us with more information
[08:41] <Gnea> !ask | gnhk666
[08:42] <gnhk666> ok...me = no idea about ubuntu or linux
[08:42] <gnhk666> wireless not working...don't know why...
[08:42] <gnhk666> need help...
[08:43] <gnhk666> from the beginning...
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> gnhk666: ok can you please provide the output of: sudo lshw -C network
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> !paste
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> gnhk666: use pastebin so yuo dont scroll the screen
[08:43] <majuk> gnhk666: Start with google?
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> gnhk666: use a wired connection for now til you can get on your feet
[08:43] <gnhk666> well, i am using wired for now...
[08:44] <gnhk666> hense on the interweb...
[08:44] <SanitariuM> gnhk666, read information @ http://ocaoimh.ie/ubunu-wifi-problems-on-the-dell-d630-laptop/
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> gnhk666: i had no way of knowing that did I
[08:44] <SanitariuM> gnhk666, you need to blacklist the default driver, and enable the alternate driver.
[08:44] <AussieGuy> is there any diffrence between a single port router hooked up to a 4 port switch, and a 4 port router?
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> gnhk666: you could have 40 other PCs which are able to access the web and using one of those
[08:44] <SanitariuM> AussieGuy, no difference network and dhcp-wise
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> AussieGuy: no, that will work fine
[08:44] <Gnea> AussieGuy: pretty much the same
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> AussieGuy: the dhcp requests will traverse the switch
[08:45] <Gnea> AussieGuy: might be a bit more electrical draw using 2 instead of 1... other than that, should provide the same function
[08:45] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, how do i rename a folder. especially one that has a space between like elegant brit?
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: type a few letters of its name and press tab, it will autocomplete for you
[08:46] <ubuntunewbie> I tried restart with "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" but still say "cups-missing-filter" any help guys ?
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: can you please ask the room rather than straight to me
[08:46] <gnhk666> Mr Parsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/259149/
[08:46] <SanitariuM> mralexandro, it uses regular expression syntax, which means you need to put a backslash in front of the space, so --> elegant\ brit
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | gnhk666
[08:46] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip, ok i will:)
[08:46] <mralexandro> SanitariuM, thanks!:D
[08:47] <SanitariuM> gnhk666, i already posted a link to the solution to your problem
[08:47] <majuk> AussieGuy: Without subnetting the network, all traffic on the network, regardless of destination, will be seen by all computers on the switch. So it's less efficient.
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> i hate broadcom
[08:47] <SanitariuM> ubottu, gnhk666 does not have the bcm43 chipset, so he doesn't need broadcom
[08:47] <Gnea> SanitariuM: let him figure it out...
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> majuk: if its a 4 port switch its hardly going to impact
[08:48] <majuk> ActionParsnip: I know. Still true. :)
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> tis true
[08:48] <gnhk666> SanitariuM: where would i find such link...?
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> gnhk666: i gave you the link you need
[08:48] <SanitariuM> gnhk666, read information @ http://ocaoimh.ie/ubunu-wifi-problems-on-the-dell-d630-laptop/
[08:48] <AussieGuy> 4 port is one possibility, I could go up to 86 ports, depending on what I was doing, its for IP phones + asterisk server so however many was needed
[08:48] <SanitariuM> gnhk666, you need to blacklist the default driver, and enable the alternate driver.
[08:49] <gnhk666> and i would do this how???
[08:49] <majuk> AussieGuy: Then I would really subnet the network. Otherwise you're gonna run into problems, I would think.
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> AussieGuy: with voip and all the ports using it i'd get some high grade switches
[08:49] <SanitariuM> gnhk666, click the link and READ or stop asking man
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | gnhk666
[08:49] <SanitariuM> gnhk666, i'm not going to re-type the content of that
[08:49] <Gnea> !attitude | SanitariuM
[08:50] <SanitariuM> lol and again with the bcm43, it's NOT a broadcom chipset!
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> gnhk666: you need to use your mouse to click the hyperlinks w are all sending you and then read using eyes
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> !bcm43
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> bah
[08:50] <majuk> lol
[08:50] <SanitariuM> i'm use dto other networks where i would /kick him with the LINK as the kick msg
[08:50] <Gnea> SanitariuM: we don't do that here.
[08:50] <Gnea> !guidelines > SanitariuM
[08:50] <SanitariuM> you'd just ignore him instead?
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> SanitariuM: why does the lshw say its vended by broadcom then?
[08:50] <Gnea> SanitariuM: please, show some respect.
[08:52] <VuZe> hey guys
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> !hi | vuze
[08:52] <VuZe> I have a problem
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> vuze: ask away
[08:53] <VuZe> I downloaded and installed ubuntu 9.04 yesterday
[08:53] <VuZe> desktop
[08:53] <grom358_> I have a 6.5Gb file on two different machines. The file on one machine is corrupt. Will rsync only sync across the corrupted portion of the file?
[08:53] <dehqan> good day everybody ,how can this problem be fixed ?
[08:53] <mikey> hey how do i download windows visa or xp i want to get rid of this ubuntu
[08:53] <dehqan> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> mikey: you dont download it, its not free
[08:53] <dehqan>   libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny1) but 2.7.3.dfsg-2+b1 is to be installed
[08:54] <VuZe> I started from the livecd just fine
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> vuze: did you md5 check the iso and verify the cd once burned and booted to?
[08:54] <VuZe> yup
[08:54] <mikey> how do i go back to my original windows
[08:54] <VuZe> i entered setup
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> vuze: good lad :)
[08:54] <darksifer> fahadsadah: hi. u remember me? am the guy from yesterday having problem with the ext4 partition. u recommend me to do e2fsck -y -v /dev/sdb5. operation completed successfully but stil cannot mount the drive
[08:54] <VuZe> the resolution was a bit too big but it was visible
[08:54] <dehqan> Will it have problem if it be forced to install upper version of libxml2 ?
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: ok can you please provide a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C display
[08:55] <VuZe> its not the problem,  i installed fine
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> mikey: you reinstate the windows boot loader using your windows cd
[08:55] <VuZe> once i got into linux properly i reconfigured the resolution
[08:55] <VuZe> it was working
[08:55] <dutchbuntu> dehqan: sudo apt-get install -f
[08:55] <VuZe> then i shut it off
[08:55] <darksifer> fahadsadah: it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ....... try dmesg | tail
[08:56] <SanitariuM> VuZe, Please try to type in one line so we don't have to scroll 30 lines up to follow your question
[08:56] <VuZe> right ok
[08:56] <mikey> ok
[08:56] <mikey> i have a question
[08:56] <mikey> action
[08:56] <dehqan> dutchbuntu does it force it to install upper version ?
[08:57] <darksifer> can anybody help me mount a partition in ext4. i got my urgent important assignments on . when i mount i got a message saying it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ....... try dmesg | tail
[08:57] <darksifer> pleaseeee
[08:57] <dutchbuntu> dehqan: it will repair the broken dependancies. no upgrades of installed packages
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> mikey: if you want to only boot to windows then boot to windows, delete the ubuntu partition and then reinstate the windows boot loader using your windows cd
[08:57] <darksifer> Gnea: hi. u remember me? am the guy from yesterday having problem with the ext4 partition. u recommend me to do e2fsck -y -v /dev/sdb5. operation completed successfully but stil cannot mount the drive. it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ....... try dmesg | tail
[08:58] <dehqan> dutchbuntu it will remove some packages but why ?
[08:58] <askvictor> can i permanently change the default permission bits for a FAT-formatted usb drive?
[08:58] <VuZe> the first time i installed, it was working fine. the second time i tried to run linux (shutdown and then boot 30mins later) it got into GRUB, i selected the top option which worked for me last time, and it flashed bars of weird colours and then it showed an errored version of the ubuntu loading bar with symbols across the top, inverted colours and the word ubuntu and the loading bar repeated across the screen
[08:58] <SanitariuM> darksifer, what filesystem is the partition you are trying to mount?
[08:59] <darksifer> ext4
[08:59] <gst> my mic is not getting up..any suggestions?
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: boot to recovery mode for your kernel (esc when grub loads) then select root so you get a root console, you can then run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; shutdown -r now
[08:59] <dutchbuntu> dehqan: probably because something went wrong when they were installed. make a note of the packages which will be deleted. afterwards reinstall them: sudo apt-get install <package_name>
[08:59] <VuZe> alright action
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> gst: coffee or viagra
[08:59] <kermit> is there a way to keep hald from using 4% of my CPU constantly? it doesnt sound like much, but a constant 4% makes my laptop warm
[09:00] <darksifer> SanitariuM: ext4. i tried e2fsck -y -v on the partition. it run the whole night. and stil i get the same problem wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ....... try dmesg | tail
[09:00] <gatto> hi all
[09:00] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, lol
[09:00] <SanitariuM> darksifer, from what i know of mounting ntfs partitions, it should be --> sudo mkdir /media/disk && sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda5 /media/disk
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: i'm laughing so hard over here
[09:01] <SanitariuM> darksifer, just checking to make sure you're mounting with correct options... cuz that error sounds like an error in your mount syntax rather than an error with the partition
[09:02] <gst> ActionParsnip, wat is that coffee or viagra?
[09:02] <mikey> hello
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> gst: its a joke, to get the mic up you can use viagra
[09:02] <mikey> i need help
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> gst: geddit?

[09:03] <SanitariuM> gatto, your question doesn't make sense, try rewording it please.
[09:03] <dehqan> while  apt-get install libxml2-dev

[09:04] <gst> any idea about link for trouble shooting audio on ubuntu?
[09:04] <dutchbuntu> !debian
[09:04] <SanitariuM> mikey, if your wifi is broadcom as your lshw said (google said otherwise), you need to get the laptop on a WIRED connection... then go to a TERMINAL window and type -->  sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter  -  then go to system/administration/hardware drivers, select the new broadcom driver, and enable it, then reboot - done.
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> !sound | gst
[09:04] <dehqan> but both are debian base and question is a basic question

[09:06] <dutchbuntu> dehqan, Lenny is not Debian based. Lenny IS Debian. Ubuntu is Debian based. Ubuntu IS NOT Debian.
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> gatto: irc commands start with a leading / character
[09:06] <gatto> that's true
[09:07] <SanitariuM> ubottu, commands?
[09:07] <dehqan> cause of question is a basic question that is not idoneous just lenny ..also #debian it was asked ...
[09:07] <SanitariuM> ubottu, help?

[09:08] <jatt> don't shout geez.
[09:08] <dehqan> problem is just this
[09:08] <gatto> available user's here
[09:08] <dehqan>   libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny1) but 2.7.3.dfsg-2+b1 is to be installed
[09:08] <ultraputz> is there a way, say by calling from rc.local, a test to see if a given key is down? for example, a way to test if the volume-down key is held on a laptop during startup to tell alsa and gdm to shut up?
[09:08] <bazhang> dehqan, you have been told that is offtopic here. /join #debian
[09:08] <dutchbuntu> dehqan, how is your voice now?
[09:08] <lstarnes> dehqan: please take this to the appropriate channel
[09:08] <darksifer> can someone tell me how to recover my files from a supposedly damaged ext4 partition. its urgent. please guys help me out. already did e2fsck -y -v on it and it said successful
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> dehqan: you wont get supported here, no one will advise you so yo ucan sit here all day and waste your time. Its your life
[09:09] <dehqan> if you don't know answer ,dont say something that everyone know
[09:09] <SanitariuM> darksifer, do some googling on a program called "testdisk" (apt-get install testdisk)... I used it to fix a damaged NTFS partition just last week... since it's written on linux I'd only assume it can fix your ext4 as well
[09:09] <lstarnes> dehqan: we cannot answer you here, but the people in #debian can
[09:09] <VuZe> hey, me again
[09:09] <dehqan> is this problem idoneous to debian or non- debian ?
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> dehqan: if you know it too then why did you come here for support?
[09:09] <dehqan>   libxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny1) but 2.7.3.dfsg-2+b1 is to be installed
[09:10] <dutchbuntu> dehqan, when you know you are in the wrong channel, stop asking and /join #debian
[09:10] <lstarnes> dehqan: that issue is specific to debian
[09:10] <SanitariuM> darksifer, install it, then "man testdisk" and do some reading.. you have a major problem and are not going to get past it without some reading...
[09:10] <sankee> hi , guys ,is there any one can speak chinese?
[09:10] <cornet> dehqan: are you running debian or ubuntu ?

[09:12] <darksifer> i googled the problem no it has not solved all it says is do e2fsck. ok i will try testdisk
[09:12] <darksifer> and will let you know
[09:12] <SanitariuM> VuZe, 3 things that have worked for me in past to fix video problems... (1) sudo apt-get remove compiz* (2) sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (3) sudo X -configure    (last might've been --configure)
[09:12] <VuZe> what does phigh do
[09:12] <VuZe> reset?
[09:13] <SanitariuM> It's an option that tells it to reset/reconifgure it
[09:13] <VuZe> right
[09:13] <SanitariuM> It's written right in the helpfile as a recommendation for video problems
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: then if you boot back to root recovery, run: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and go to the section decribing Configured Video Device and add the line      Driver "vesa"   press ctrl+x, press y then press enter
[09:13] <lstarnes> VuZe: it's for high resolution

[09:14] <VuZe> lstarnes - ive got a 15" monitor on 1024x786
[09:14] <lstarnes> VuZe: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[09:14] <SanitariuM> VuZe, Parsnip's advise is good... but try the first 3 options I've got... his is more of a last resort (using default vesa driver)
[09:14] <VuZe> let me write all this down
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> lstarnes: its good to do though, overrides hal if its being dumb

[09:16] <solenopsis> Guest80661: If you're missing the Network Manager panel applet, then make sure that your panel contains the Notification Area applet.
[09:16] <gst> any idea as why is it so?
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> gst: try gnome-alsamixer
[09:17] <mikey> please i dont know i didnt understand this from the begining  my buddy installed this in my laptop
[09:17] <SanitariuM> mikey, HP Pavilion dv6000 has a SOFTWARE wifi manager... that software has the ability to turn the wifi HARDWARE on and off... IF that setting is turned to OFF before you installed ubuntu... you stand a 50/50 chance of being able to turn it back on without reinstalling windows and enabling it thru the manufacturer's software
[09:17] <mikey> action please i need beter directions then that i am ubuntu stupid
[09:18] <SanitariuM> mikey, there is a program for linux that has the capability to turn that hardware on/off similar to the default windows software, but it only works on about half of the laptops out there... let me try and google the name of it
[09:18] <mikey> so how can i do it  the other 50%
[09:18] <SanitariuM> brb google
[09:18] <solenopsis> Guest80661: (The Notification Area applet contains the network icon.)
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> mikey: ok then you need to get a wired connection to it so you can get web access.

[09:20] <dimi123> hi all
[09:20] <Seguer> hey guys, anyone available to help with ALSA? my on-board sound card isn't being recognised, but querying the motherboard shows it as an Audio Device. running the ALSA script gives me no driver version (results at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6373084b29a6908e9b608b3038a8ecb778301e20)
[09:21] <SanitariuM> mikey, listen to Parsnip first... you have to install the correct driver before you can worry about whether or not that windows software has it disabled on you
[09:22] <oenchoe> gadiz_buruk_rupa
[09:23] <SanitariuM> mikey, rather than pastebinning it... you can just do "lshw -C network", then look for the one that's related to wifi... and you're looking for a line similar to this one --> description : Wireless Interface / product: AR2413 802.11bg NIC <-- then just type that line in here for us
[09:23] <darksifer> SanitariuM: testdisk says unable to open device.. is there any other solution
[09:23] <SanitariuM> mikey, the product line is the one that has your exact model info that we need to determine correct driver
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> SanitariuM: nice one
[09:24] <SanitariuM> darksifer, like I said, I only used testdisk once to fix an NTFS partition, you need to google for how to use it on ext4 or read the manual "man testdisk"

[09:29] <SanitariuM> mikey, all that's listed there is your wired ethernet port, nothing mentioned about wifi
[09:30] <linxeh> mikey: if you are new to IRC, then typically a channel will have a list of rules and other information linked from the title - its a good idea to read them, and to watch the channel for a while before joining in
[09:30] <gatto> I started learn c++ and i will waited when i finished it or I strat learning bash\shell scripting
[09:30] <gst> now i am not even able to play audio, forget about playback
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> mikey: is the wifi enabled on the device? is there a switch to turn the wifi offand on?
[09:30] <VuZe> me again
[09:30] <mikey> thhe wi fi
[09:30] <mikey> is enabled i think
[09:31] <linxeh> mikey: is it built in wifi? or a usb adapter?
[09:31] <VuZe> action: i tried "nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf"
[09:31] <SanitariuM> mikey, it's either a switch on/off, or it's a key combination like Fn+F2
[09:31] <VuZe> the text file was blank
[09:31] <SanitariuM> mikey, "not sure" and "i think" are not valid answers... find it.
[09:31] <xatcon> hello
[09:31] <VuZe> there was nothing there? maybe i wrote the filename down wrong
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: try tab completing my name, makes my client let me know you are addressing me
[09:32] <bazhang> VuZe, X11
[09:32] <mikey> it is a built in wireless not a key combo
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: the X in X11 is capital, linux is VERY case sensitive
[09:32] <xatcon> isthere any messanger for live chatting
[09:32] <SanitariuM> mikey, the built in wireless has a SWITCH to turn it on or off
[09:32] <mikey> and yes it is swiched on
[09:32] <SanitariuM> thank you
[09:32] <VuZe> bazhang, is it case sensetive
[09:32] <SanitariuM> mikey, regrettably you must had your wifi disabled the last time you shut windows down... so that wifi is semi-permanately disabled by the windows software (that controls the hardware on/off status)... I'm having trouble locating the linux program that tries to do what the windows program does... wait a few more minutes while I keep googling for it.
[09:32] <VuZe> sensitive*
[09:32] <bazhang> VuZe, yep :)
[09:32] <mikey> thank you
[09:32] <VuZe> bazhang, haha okay im gonna go do that then, thanks
[09:33] <xatcon> so  i hav prov in video confrensing
[09:33] <mikey> no my wifi was uninstalled
[09:33] <xatcon> skye dosent work here
[09:34] <xatcon> skype  not workin properly
[09:34] <xatcon> omly mesg can sent
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> mikey: try switching the wifi off, then on Then run:  dmesg | tail   and make another pastebin but with that information
[09:35] <xatcon> voice chatting n video chattin not runnig
[09:35] <linxeh> xatcon: I guess you should take that up with skype?
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> !skype | xatcon

[09:36] <pinoyskull> how do find files with specific keyword? using "find"
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: you can find filenames containing strings
[09:36] <SanitariuM> mikey, please paste the output of these 2 commands --> "sysctl dev.wifi0.ledpin" and "sysctl dev.wifi0.softled"
[09:36] <linxeh> you can find the contents of files too
[09:37] <pinoyskull> ActionParsnip:  what's the syntax?
[09:37] <enpires> hello people! I'm having troubles with my Philips Freevents keyboard and ubuntu 9.04. It types like i'm pushing the "Fn" button, but i'm not!
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: sudo find / -name "<search string here>"
[09:37] <linxeh> pinoyskull: you are likely better off using grep, or an file indexing engine though
[09:37] <error404notfound> i am trying to install twisted 8.0 on hardy and when i run "python setup.py install" i get: http://pastebin.com/m40e70dd9 , any ideas?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> enpires: do you have the numlock on?
[09:37] <enpires> action, nope
[09:38] <pinoyskull> ActionParsnip:  if -name "string" it will find the filename
[09:38] <pinoyskull> ActionParsnip:  how about the "string" inside the file
[09:38] <enpires> if i want to type the right letters i have to push the "Fn" button! Exactly the opposite :P
[09:38] <infexion> I would suggest as for file searching/indexing Slocate
[09:38] <mikey> it doesnt work the cmd you told me to post
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: you can use grep for that
[09:38] <infexion> "slocate" rather
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: sudo grep -R <something>
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> mikey: dmesg | tail
[09:39] <mikey> no
[09:39] <pinoyskull> ActionParsnip:  i need to use find, cuz grep wont execute because the directory has 400k files
[09:39] <mikey> the other one some one told me to say
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: it will execute, it'll just take a while
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> mikey: which command?
[09:39] <mikey> sysctl dev.wifi0.softled
[09:39] <enpires> ActionParsnip, no any ideas?
[09:39] <linxeh> pinoyskull: try grep -R string .
[09:39] <linxeh> pinoyskull: rather than *
[09:40] <pinoyskull> no it wont "-sh: /usr/bin/grep: Argument list too long
[09:40] <pinoyskull> "
[09:40] <infexion> pinoyskull: try slocate or locate
[09:40] <linxeh> infexion: that will not do what he wants
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: ok try: sudo grep -R fire .
[09:40] <pinoyskull> ActionParsnip:  lemme try that
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: to find files in the pwd and below containing the word fire
[09:41]  * linxeh thinks he's invisible ;-)
[09:41] <Gnea> pinoyskull: find /dir -exec grep something {} \;
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: change fire to what you want to search for, if it has spaces then encapsulate with "s
[09:41] <poent> Is there a wine support channel in the irc network?
[09:41] <rsk> #winehq
[09:41] <bazhang> poent, #winehq
[09:41] <poent> ty
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> !wine | poent
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> poent: make sure you try the wine from the wine repos
[09:41] <VuZe> me again
[09:41] <SanitariuM> mikey, the wifi on your computer needs the b43-fwcutter package in order to work... you need to start with that as instructed earlier (ctrl+f and search for "fwcutter")... i'm going to bed
[09:42] <VuZe> okay, nothing happened when i tried to switch to vesa
[09:42] <SanitariuM> if all else fails, reinstall windows, enable the wifi with the built in software, reinstall ubuntu, and all will be fine... i've had it happen to me 3 times so far where that was my only option
[09:42] <pinoyskull> ActionParsnip:  cool grep with period works
[09:42] <SanitariuM> i'm out
[09:42] <pinoyskull> thanks
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> pinoyskull: nice
[09:42] <VuZe> let me get one thing clear though
[09:43] <mikey> earlier today i had windows Xp on my computer which is an Hp Dv6000 and the wireless wasnt working i think it was uninstalled cause nothing was showing up about a broadcom driver so it was gone but one of my good buddies decided to install ubuntu on my comp without fixing the wireless problem 1st
[09:43] <rsk> mikey: you got some instructions, follow them. dont ask the question again.
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> mikey: i'd check in the bios to see if the device is enabled there
[09:44] <mikey> what is bios
[09:44] <rsk> :S
[09:44] <Gnea> mikey: isn't there a on/off switch on the laptop to turn the wifi on?
[09:44] <mikey> and Rsk dont be nasty
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> mikey: you may find it doesnt have wifi but is wifi enabled, meaning that switch can control the wifi on/off state
[09:44] <mikey> Its on
[09:44] <bazhang> mikey, you get into bios when the screen first turns on, hit f2 or esc , it differs
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> mikey: but the device may need an extra wifi device for the switch to control
[09:44] <Gnea> mikey: could you please pastebin the output of the dmesg command?
[09:45] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, what exactly do i type into the xorg.conf file
[09:45] <VuZe> as in
[09:46] <VuZe> do i type "driver "vesa""
[09:46] <VuZe> or just "vesa"
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: neither
[09:46] <myself> is there a way to get the latest stable release of rhythmbox: 0.12.3  @ a repository?
[09:46] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, what, then?
[09:46] <mikey> i already did that got no answers i have had this computer for 5 yrs now and i hope i know if it has wifi or not it has been working for 5 yrs now and now it isnt cause its uninstalled
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: you find the part that says: Section "Device" Identifier "Cofigured Video Device" EndSection
[09:46] <VuZe> yeah
[09:47] <Gnea> mikey: sorry, didn't see it. could you point me to the url?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: and above EndSection you add a line that says:
[09:47] <mikey> ok hold on
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: Driver "vesa"
[09:47] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, oh right, i replaced "configured video device" with "vesa"
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: capital D for driver, quotes around vesa
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: no you REALLY need that bit
[09:48] <mikey> http://pastebin.com/m5196ed70
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: you can copy it on the keyboard fom the line in the server section
[09:48] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, hehe alright ill dpkg-reconfigure -phigh server-xorg to reset it?
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: sure
[09:48] <Gnea> mikey: hrm. how about the whole dmesg command without the tail?
[09:49] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, thanks
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> mikey: try this: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install pastebinit; dmesg | pastebinit
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: snips
[09:49] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: aye
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> i love pastebinit
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> mikey: it will give you a link you can copy in terminal
[09:51] <poent> are the linux/ubuntu video drivers at ATI's website any good? or is there another package i should be using to handle an ATI driver?
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> poent: if they support your card, use them
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> !ati | poent
[09:52] <poent> It's supported. I'm just having some issues with wine and an OpenGL game that seems to be more driver related than wine related
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> poent: have you checked the appdb for compatibility and any possible settings you may need to add to wine
[09:54] <mikey> nothing works i am ubuntu stupid i have no idea what some of you guys r saying
[09:55] <Gnea> mikey: look, do you know how to install software with apt-get?
[09:55] <mikey> no
[09:55] <Gnea> okay, let's fix that
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> mikey: i gave you a command in its full and entire form. Paste it into a terminal and give us the output
[09:55] <InDuS> mikey: use add/remove to install/remove
[09:55] <Gnea> mikey: can you open a terminal?
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> !terminal | mikey
[09:56] <InDuS> easy does it folks
[09:56] <Gnea> yes, please, easy does it
[09:56] <poent> ActionParsnip: yeah i checked appdb. The most recent and only entry for the current version says that everything works fine. Their using a better and different brand of video card though
[09:57] <InDuS> poent: which game
[09:57] <poent> Blockland
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> poent: ok then did you scroll down to see if there are any tweaks that need doing to wine?
[09:57] <poent> yeah there were none
[09:57] <InDuS> poent: is that a game? OR windows app
[09:57] <poent> its a windows game
[09:58] <InDuS> poent: works best on windows then
[09:58] <Gnea> mikey: okay, did you get the terminal open? let me know when you did..
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> poent: so there isnt. platinum rating too although these are with nvidia cards
[09:58] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: what is "CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized" ?
[09:58] <poent> yeah thats what i noticed as well
[09:58] <mikey> its open
[09:58] <Gnea> mikey: now, type first:   sudo apt-get update
[09:59] <Gnea> mikey: it will ask you for your password, type it in and let it rip
[09:59] <poent> i already tried emulating the desktop and messing the video settings of the game as well. vsink didnt fix it lowering settings etc
[09:59] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: I'm not sure, but it may mean that you are not authorized to add or modify printers
[09:59] <InDuS> poent: hmm game looks cool
[09:59] <mikey> it didnt ask me tho
[09:59] <Gnea> that's fine
[09:59] <poent> yeah its a cool downtime game. It easy to spend way too much time on it
[09:59] <Gnea> mikey: did it perform the update alright?
[09:59] <mikey> i think so......????   lol
[10:00] <mikey> yeah it did
[10:00] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: I keep on getting a problem on "iP2500_series2 (Default Printer) "Filter "pstocanonij" for printer "iP2500_series2" not available: No such file or directory""
[10:00] <Gnea> mikey: last line should say this: Reading package lists... Done
[10:00] <cornjuliox> can I uninstall pulseaudio?
[10:00] <cornjuliox> is it needed?
[10:00] <mikey> then yea its fine
[10:00] <cornjuliox> i think its whats keeping me from playing mp3s while I have youtube open
[10:00] <mikey> it did well
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> poent: if you go into the directory you installed the app to and run: wine blockland.exe   (adjusting for case) you will get outputs that you can make useful in websearches
[10:00] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: I don't know how to fix that
[10:00] <Gnea> mikey: good. now type:  sudo apt-get install pastebin
[10:01] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: is ok , still thanks for replying to me ;-)
[10:01] <mikey> it says........  Couldn't find package pastebin
[10:01] <mikey> last line
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> poent: the default wine folder is ~/.wine/drive_c
[10:01] <Gnea> mikey: sorry, that should've been:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[10:01] <lstarnes> mikey: I think you want pastebinit, not pastebin
[10:02] <Gnea> lstarnes: yeah, i typo'd :
[10:02] <Gnea> :)
[10:02] <poent> rgr that
[10:02] <poent> blockland itself has a console output that looks like its just messing up the refresh
[10:02] <mikey> this is what it says
[10:02] <mikey> pastebinit is already the newest version.
[10:02] <mikey> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[10:02] <poent> or the back buffer is drawing wrong... idk
[10:03] <Gnea> mikey: good, now type:  dmesg | pastebinit
[10:03] <mikey> i am guessing click the link
[10:03] <mikey> lol
[10:04] <RoflCopter> Hi, does any1 know an application thats like post-it notes? It has to look like them, like on mac ;)
[10:04] <Gnea> mikey: yes, then paste it here :)
[10:04] <jatt> what's the name of the compiz effect to make a window transparent?
[10:04] <jatt> in a previous ubuntu version I used Alt+mouse scroll button but this doesn't work on jaunty
[10:04] <mikey> http://pastebin.com/f36c40647
[10:04] <mikey> like that
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> poent: then you can websearch what it says to see what you can do
[10:05] <pretender> How do i un install Shiretoko Web Browser 3.5 and revert back to normal firefox in jaunty
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> poent: you could try running winecfg and setting the system to be different versions of windows
[10:05] <lstarnes> pretender: firefox 3.0 should still be installed, unless you manually removed it
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> poent: see if it helps
[10:05] <poent> oh thats true
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> poent: make sure yuo have the latest beta from the wine repos. That can help too
[10:05] <mralexandro> how do i change theme in "metacity" ?
[10:06] <poent> beta? the beta of wine?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> poent: www.winehq.org/download/deb
[10:06] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, me again
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> poent: its usually a newer version than the one in the default repo and is maintained by the wine team
[10:06] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, it gave me an error saying there was an internal error with my graphics or soemthing
[10:06] <VuZe> and then command line
[10:07] <dutchbuntu_> pretender, sudo apt-get uninstall firefox-3.5
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> !theme | mralexandro
[10:07] <Gnea> mikey: okay, good. looks like linux doesn't even see your wifi... which is, of course, bad. :)
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: then you need to read /var/log/Xorg.log.0   to see whats going on

[10:12] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: select the files and folders you want to keep then click edit -> invert selection. review the new selection, then delete
[10:12] <Gnea> mikey: did you find your hp documentation?
[10:13] <grawity> mralexandro: A .tar.gz is simply an archive of files. There's no "install" or "uninstall" - you simply delete files.
[10:13] <mikey> what you mean hp documentation'
[10:13] <mralexandro> grawity, i have no permision

[10:22] <luvsux> Hi yall. Just installed xchat and having a look-see
[10:22] <mssever> Quick question: If I buy a USB headset, can I be confident that it will work with Ubuntu Netbook Remix Jaunty?
[10:22] <ubuntu> uname output is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/259191/
[10:23] <leaf-sheep> Whoo! Only 2 more months and 4 days for official and acceptable stabilized Karmic release! \o/
[10:23] <DeGhost> wine 1.1.28 is stable ?
[10:23] <mikey> where is GNEA
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> mssever: websearch round, they are ok. i personally dislike them. ive seen some folks moan the sound device doesnt switch from the usb to the soundcard automagically
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> DeGhost: seems ok
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> leaf-sheep: runs fine here :D
[10:23] <leaf-sheep> DeGhost: Ask in #wine about that -- They would know the answer.
[10:23] <mnaines> ActionParsnip: Plus, audiophiles like myself prefer analog anyway
[10:24] <coz_> let me try this again guys... two systems...fresh install of 9.04 including all system updates...scsi system is using kernel 2.6.28-13-generic  and the other system is usind  2.6.28-15-generic.... the scsi system has  the 2.6.28-15-generic installed but not even sudo dpkg reconfigure for kernel worked  ...any suggestions?
[10:24] <ubuntu> take a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/259192/ ive got nothing in initrd
[10:24] <ubuntu> and nothing in boot
[10:24] <leaf-sheep> ActionParsnip: Heh.
[10:24] <DeGhost> ok thx
[10:24] <bazhang> DeGhost, its #winehq
[10:24] <bazhang> whoops
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> mnaines: i dont get why they cant just use the sockets on every soundcard ever rather than messing with usb stuff, it an extra complication
[10:24] <mssever> ActionParsnip, Here's my problem: I've just acquired an HP Mini 110, which has some odd combined mic/headphone jack. I depend on Skype, so I'm looking for options.
[10:25] <mnaines> ActionParsnip: Its called "Keeping up with the Joneses"...People these days are born and bred believing they have to have the latest and greatest
[10:25] <ubuntu> anyone know???
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> mssever: no idea man, you could check the !hcl
[10:25] <mssever> ActionParsnip, OK. Thanks.
[10:25] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, i can't seem to get it to work again
[10:25] <ubuntu> helllllo

[10:26] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, just keeps erroring
[10:26] <VuZe> erroring like it did when i hadnt done the vesa stuff
[10:26] <ubuntu> hi
[10:26] <VuZe> it isnt giving me an actual error
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: any clues in the x log?
[10:26] <luvsux> Bye yall
[10:26]  * leaf-sheep hate the fact that IRC clients use 'ubuntu' as default nickname instead of `whoami` in the packages. :(
[10:26] <ubuntu> problem is grub has a face in the corner of the screen and a blinking cursor
[10:26] <Q_Continuum> Whenever someone signs on and Pidgin notifies me, I get static.  Known issue?
[10:27] <VuZe> i cant get into the xlog
[10:27] <ubuntu> how u change ur nickname???
[10:27] <grawity> ubuntu: /nick newnickname
[10:27] <leaf-sheep> ubuntu: /nick newNickname
[10:27] <ubuntu> yeh
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> !nick | ubuntu
[10:27] <ubuntu> i just checked the /help
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: i told you where it is, use tab to complete the name
[10:27] <ubuntu> g
[10:27] <ubuntu> VERSION
[10:28] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, im saying its giving me the same kind of error i got when vesa wasnt written
[10:28] <ubuntu> ok
[10:28] <ubuntu> anyone have a clue about my problem
[10:28] <ubuntu> im stumped
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: you could boot to root console with ntworking and reinstall the kenel, this would then readd it to the bootup
[10:28] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, when it gives me a graphical error i cant do anything except a hard reboot
[10:29] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, its like this, the error
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: you boot to root recovery console (esc when grub shows up then select root) you can then run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:29] <ubuntu> but it doesnt even show a grub menu
[10:29] <ubuntu> at this moment im in a live cd
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: then you can boot to livecd and chroot
[10:30] <ubuntu> and i can chroot into it
[10:30] <ubuntu> yeh
[10:30] <mralexandro> is there a quick way to see changes when you have switched emrald theme or do you have to restart?
[10:30] <ubuntu> but is there a wiki page on reinstalling kernel
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: then run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install  linux-image-<whatever>-generic
[10:30] <ubuntu> k
[10:30] <ubuntu> il try it
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: change <whatever to the version of the kernel you use
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: i use karmic so am not sure of the lastest kernel for jaunty
[10:31] <ubuntu> ok

[10:33] <jimcooncat> how do I add /home/jim/bin to my path? add a line in .bashrc or .bash_profile?
[10:33] <ubuntu> il try that
[10:33] <ubuntu> in fact its doing it know

[10:34] <mnaines> ActionParsnip: Would 800MHz on a dual-core (800MHz on each of two cores) be detrimental to Ubuntu's performance?
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: try: sudo apt-get update    first
[10:34] <ubuntu> oki
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> mnaines: not at all, thats plenty
[10:35] <napsy> Hello. Does anyone know how could I increase the number of X clients for Xorg?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> mnaines: if its sluggish then install lxde or xfce as a lighter desktop environment
[10:35] <Gnea> napsy: X 'clients'?
[10:36] <napsy> Gnea: gui programs
[10:36] <Gnea> napsy: open them
[10:36] <napsy> I reached the limit
[10:36] <mnaines> ActionParsnip: I did it to improve battery life on the laptop...Laptop is only used for remote system/network administration, web browsing, word processing, and chat
[10:36] <Gnea> install more ram
[10:36] <napsy> Gnea: the problem isn't ram. It's xorg because it limits the number of client connections
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> mnaines: then any DE will do you
[10:37] <Gnea> napsy: huh, didn't think that was done by default.... how much memory do you have?
[10:37] <napsy> Gnea: 6 gb
[10:37] <Gnea> okay.
[10:37] <mnaines> ActionParsnip: I use GNOME right now, though I use VESA and KDE when I'm on BackTrack 3
[10:37] <Gnea> that's a good amount of ram :)
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> mnaines: i use lxde througout
[10:38] <mnaines> ActionParsnip: I think my idea is better because it gets me used to the different DEs
[10:39] <ubuntu> but does anyone know what this wiered face thing is???
[10:39] <Gnea> napsy: is it telling you a message that it's out? where does it say it?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> mnaines: lxde is a different de :/
[10:39] <ubuntu> frist i got a error 15, then reinstalled grub now all i get is this face
[10:39] <humbolt> What is the primary virtualisation technology in Ubuntu?
[10:39] <gangsta> hey guys how can i save the configuration for my gnome desktop??
[10:39] <InDuS> !who | ubuntu
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: what does error 15 mean
[10:39] <InDuS> i have heard of this problem
[10:39] <mnaines> ActionParsnip: I mean that if I use multiple distros each with a different DE, I can get myself comfortable with those different DEs
[10:39] <rsk> humbolt: none
[10:39] <qetuR> Hey! I need to install Firefox 3, how do I do it?
[10:39] <ubuntu> file not found
[10:40] <gangsta> qetuR: go with synaptic
[10:40] <humbolt> rsk: none? xen or kvm?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> mnaines: true
[10:40] <ubuntu> at this moment apt-get is updating
[10:40] <rsk> humbolt: there's no primary.
[10:40] <qetuR> gangsta, when i try to do that i only get 3.5
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: i'd let that bake and see what happens
[10:40] <lstarnes> qetuR: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[10:40] <qetuR> 9.04
[10:40] <qetuR> LSD|Ninja,
[10:40] <ubuntu> ActionParsnip: it says no internet connection
[10:40] <gangsta> qetuR: it should exist a site in which you can find every old release of every program..
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> qetuR: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
[10:40] <humbolt> rsk: which one is better supported by upstream?
[10:41] <gangsta> guys can you help me with my gnome desktop?
[10:41] <rsk> humbolt: kvm is in the kernel, xen is not.
[10:41] <napsy> Gnea: well when the limit is reached ... gui programs start to nag about x client limit
[10:41] <qetuR> ActionParsnip,  I already got the latest version it says
[10:41] <rsk> humbolt: so kvm will always get love when needed
[10:41] <javierito> mmm como se entra al canal ubuntu españa?
[10:41] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, i found the problem
[10:41] <myself> !spanish
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> qetuR: then launch it with alt=f2  then type   firefox-3.0
[10:41] <javierito> okay
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: sup?
[10:41] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, i wrote the error down
[10:41] <ubuntu> !who
[10:41] <gangsta> guys please can you help me?
[10:41] <javierito> gracias ubottu
[10:42] <VuZe> "
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: ok whats the score
[10:42] <humbolt> rsk: for linux on linux only virtualization, what is the recommended choice for virtualization?
[10:42] <InDuS> gangsta: yes
[10:42] <InDuS> gangsta: what is
[10:42] <ubuntu> humbolt: have a look at virtualboz or quemu
[10:42] <ubuntu> qemu is quit good
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> humbolt: there is no recommended anything
[10:42] <gangsta> inDus: i have a gnome desktop and i have to save its configuration. do you have in mind the panel bar?
[10:42] <wiktor> server irc.abuser.pl
[10:42] <VuZe> Parse Error in line 33 of section Screen in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf This section must have only one of either identifier or driver line"
[10:42] <wiktor> server/ irc.abuser.pl)
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> humbolt: there are options, just try a few see which you like
[10:42] <lstarnes> waxhead_: /server
[10:42] <InDuS> gangsta: aah sorry dont know this one
[10:43] <lstarnes> waxhead_: oops, ignore that
[10:43] <humbolt> ActionParsnip: keep it simple, what makes the most sense?
[10:43] <lstarnes> Guest25792: /server
[10:43] <InDuS> gangsta: is it some file you looking for?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> humbolt: all
[10:43] <Guest25792> thx
[10:43] <waxhead_> lstarnes: will do.. :)
[10:43] <ubuntu> would it be better to backup my files and reinstall??? then try to get the kernel to reinstall
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> humbolt: vmware, virtualbox and qemu all are good
[10:43] <mnaines> humbolt: Its really a matter of which one you feel most comfortable with
[10:43] <ubuntu> as apt-get update says no internet connection in a chroot
[10:43] <gangsta> InDuS: no, it is just the panel bar.. the most simple thing in every desktop..
[10:43] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, i wrote the error above^^
[10:43] <qetuR> ActionParsnip, when i start firefox-3.0
[10:43] <humbolt> ActionParsnip: As Xen is paravitualized, it might make the most sense for linux on linux?!
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: does your video device have an identifier line?
[10:43] <qetuR> the 3.5 starts
[10:43] <InDuS> gangsta: what about the panel bar
[10:43] <gangsta> InDuS: to launch programs, browse files...
[10:44] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, i dont know
[10:44] <mnaines> humbolt: When choosing software programs/packages, its not a matter of which one is better, but rather which one will meet your demands
[10:44] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, how would i check
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> humbolt: all are fine, if you think that is better then go for it
[10:44] <pepperphd> in /join ##programing
[10:44] <gangsta> InDus: ok.. well you have in mind that you can change its appearance?^
[10:44] <pepperphd> mistell
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: read the xorg.conf file
[10:44] <ubuntu> ???
[10:44] <InDuS> gangsta: well ya right click and changei t
[10:44] <l3dlinux> ok is there a way or a script that will let me remove apps by right cliking on them and uninstall.... just like inlinux mint
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: the identifier name must match the identifier in the server section
[10:45] <InDuS> gangsta: iam pretty sure i have not understood your question
[10:45] <InDuS> :)
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> l3dlinux: synaptic
[10:45] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, if it doesnt, should i change it so it does
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: yes absolutely
[10:45] <belcher> Hi. I want to mount my NTFS partition on boot. After I mount manually I get the result: "/dev/sda1 on /media/NTFS type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)". What entry do I need to put in my /etc/fstab?
[10:46] <VuZe> ActionParsnip, thanks for the help, im gonna go do that
[10:46] <gangsta> InDus: can i talk to you in pvt? just to explain clearly the situation
[10:46] <InDuS> k
[10:46] <Alexia> belcher, can i talk to you in private?
[10:46] <InDuS> !mount
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g | belcher
[10:46] <pkkm> what is the difference between traceroute and tracepath?
[10:46] <belcher> ActionParsnip, not what I asked
[10:46] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: that package is installed by default
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: but may not be implemented ;)
[10:47] <l3dlinux> I know  synaptic but i was just wondering  cause it just seems easier to right click uninstall the app in the main menu thats all was just inquiring ?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: a whole slew of video drivers are installed by default also
[10:47] <InDuS> belcher: add in fstab /dev/sda1  <mount point>  defaults, and hmm wait i forgot
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> belcher: you can use ntfs-3g to give you write access. The factoids tell you how to add to /etc/fstab so it will mount
[10:48] <slabbeh> Hi, I have installed openvpn and have noticed that it loads the daemon whenever the computer boots. How can I stop it from loading?
[10:48] <gangil> I did this mv /home/gangil/D* and my wallpaper disappeared
[10:48] <gangil> why?
[10:48] <mnaines> slabbeh: Most VPN clients do that by default.
[10:48] <gangil> with admin rights
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> belcher: /dev/sda1 /media/ntfspart  ntfs-3g  -o rw,user,uid=1000 0 0
[10:49] <slabbeh> mnaines, I will only use my VPN when I am out of the office so I don't want it loading everytime
[10:49] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: aah thanks
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> belcher: you must then run: sudo mkdir /media/ntfspart
[10:50] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: i think the preferred point is /media/windows
[10:50] <mnaines> slabbeh: That's why I don't use VPNs...I SSH into the office remotely
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> belcher: you will need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab to get write access
[10:50] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: then it shows icon on desktop
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: there is no preffered mount point
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: as long as its outside of /proc it can be anywhere at all
[10:50] <mnaines> !ssh
[10:50] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: well,in my exp it shows an icon on desktop with that location
[10:51] <belcher> InDuS, well, actually I have a few different fstab entries tried already. I was just looking for the "canonical" view. ATM I have "/dev/sda1 /media/NTFS ntfs defaults,uid=1000,umask=022,gid=100 0 0" which already works
[10:51] <slabbeh> mnaines, I would but the VPS is managed by a friend
[10:51] <belcher> ActionParsnip, well I use vim to edit ...
[10:51] <mnaines> slabbeh: You have his computer?
[10:51] <InDuS> belcher: ya there are too many options and frankly the one i have is not good either
[10:51] <belcher> ActionParsnip, and I'm sorry, but your advice is both inaccurate and uh ... silly
[10:51] <InDuS> belcher: gives bad errors in dmesg
[10:51] <xrfang> is there any free/opensource Business Intelligence application shipped with Ubuntu? tks.
[10:52] <belcher> You don't use "ntfs-3g" for the filesystem type anymore. You haven't for some time.
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> belcher: its not inaccurate, if you prefer vim then use: sudo vimm /etc/fstab
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> belcher: what part is inaccurate?
[10:52] <javierito> hello
[10:52] <mnaines> xrfang: OpenOffice has some business-oriented templates
[10:52] <comrade_tuttle> This may be the wrong room to ask this, but could any one point me in the direction of a decent newb Python tutorial or How-To in general?
[10:52] <belcher> ActionParsnip, you either don't or can't understand. You don't use "ntfs-3g" for the fstype in fstab anymore
[10:52] <slabbeh> mnaines, no its a VPS (not sure where it is hosted), the office's static IP is allowed to connect directly to mySQL and FTP etc but when I am out of the office (different IP) I have to connect to the VPN
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> belcher: if you want write access you do
[10:53] <xrfang> mnaines: I need something like data mining and OLAP etc... not for reporting or document writing... do you mean the database application shipped with OpenOffice?
[10:53] <belcher> ActionParsnip, you didn't properly read my question. Why say I have to create a mount point when I explicitly stated I had mounted manually already?
[10:53] <mnaines> comrade_tuttle: Try #python...I just popped in there and the room looks pretty full
[10:53] <belcher> ActionParsnip, no, you don't
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> belcher: can you provide a link to back this up. i am intruiged
[10:54] <mnaines> xrfang: You can try that.  I have not messed with that side of OpenOffice yet
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> belcher: you can read the ntfs natively, not write afaik
[10:54] <comrade_tuttle> mnaines: Thanks
[10:54] <belcher> ActionParsnip, there are many links. lol, if you don't believe me, try it. You haven't had to use the "ntfs-3g" for the fstype for some time
[10:54] <xrfang> mnaines: I just wonder, if R has such capabilities, or is there any opensource alternatives to SAS or SPSS.... and I will take a look at ooo-database now... tks
[10:55] <mnaines> xrfang: You know you can always google "Open-Source business applications Linux"
[10:55] <comrade_tuttle> mnaines: says I need to register or be identified...
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> belcher: no i want you to provide me one to backup your claim. Here is one saying ntfs-3g in fstab is used: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[10:55] <mnaines> !nick
[10:56] <belcher> ActionParsnip, how about you try it and see. When it is mounted rw you can apologize to me. Thanks.
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> belcher: you need to specify ntfs-3g is you want write access, if you only need read access the kernel can do that already
[10:56] <bluboy> join #ubuntu-l10n-it
[10:56] <belcher> ActionParsnip, er, your link is from July 16th, 2006 ...
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> belcher: then i think yuo are telling a tall tale
[10:56] <belcher> ActionParsnip, no, you are wrong. Completely wrong
[10:56] <xrfang> mnaines: yes I did and found something :) e.g. Pentaho... but just need to know more and study them all briefly :)
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> belcher: find me a newer one then
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> belcher: you cant back it up...
[10:56] <cdoublejj> how many or aproxmatly how many codersarethere for ubuntu
[10:57] <mnaines> xrfang: Use what meets your demands...Don't choose a program based on "What's best"
[10:57] <cdoublejj> it must be alot it's pretty good
[10:57] <belcher> ActionParsnip, since googling is beyond you, here is one: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/mounting-ntfs-partition-automatically-on-boot-with-fstab-683806/
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> belcher: and fwiw, the man pages for cp are probably older than most users in here
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> belcher: yours is from october 2005
[10:57] <xrfang> mnaines: thanks for your suggestion.  My purpose is *not* for a particular project, just plan to learn some basics and available products on market.
[10:57] <belcher> ActionParsnip, secondly, as I have repeatedly stated, I use the line "/dev/sda1 /media/NTFS ntfs defaults,uid=1000,umask=022,gid=100 0 0" which mounts rw ....
[10:58] <ssapphiree> hey all
[10:58] <mnaines> xrfang: So basically you're in the "try it before you buy it" mode?
[10:58] <belcher> ActionParsnip, I understand now. You spend time reading instead of doing. As I said, try the fstab line I have given. You will see it mounts read-write. No matter how much you protest otherwise
[10:58] <xrfang> mnaines: Try it before study it mode.... :)
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> belcher: i dont use ntfs and havent for many moons
[10:59] <mnaines> xrfang: In that case, good luck and good hunting.  There are plenty of decent programs out there.  You just have to find the one that meets your demands
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> belcher: i have however advised many users in here how to mount windows partitions with ntfs-3g in fstab
[10:59] <belcher> ActionParsnip, that is evident. You should refrain from giving advice on here if you don't know what you are talking about
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> belcher: and it amazingly worked..shock
[10:59] <xrfang> yes
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> belcher: but ive had successes with it so i call it the same
[11:00] <ssapphiree> someone help me please... I use smplayer and I'm trying to watch a movie with an external audio track (.ac3 file). smplayer successfully plays both separately, but when I'm adding the .ac3 file as an external audio track, smplayer stops doing anything! it doesn't play video or plays video without the sound at all. why could that happen?
[11:00] <parapan> Hi there fellows anyone familiar with USB modem configuration files ???? I had an USB modem which is not working anymore I installed/reinstalled the modem but with no result !!!!
[11:01] <belcher> ActionParsnip, stabbing blindly in the dark, having it work, and proclaiming success is different from knowing what you are doing. Again, I suggest you only give advice on topics you are familiar with through experience. Your advice has probably caused more problems than it has solved.
[11:01]  * fire_fox re pairnei kaneis sas kreatini?
[11:01] <belcher> ActionParsnip, I would also suggest you actually read people's questions
[11:02] <axlr> need help how to register my e-mail adress?
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> belcher: you wanted an fstab entry to mount your ntfs, i gave you one
[11:02] <mnaines> axlr: You mean your IRC nickname?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> belcher: and it will work
[11:03] <axlr> yes
[11:03] <belcher> ActionParsnip, in fact, having now perused the logs for this channel, I would suggest you study more about how the linux OS works in general.
[11:03] <mnaines> !nick | axlr
[11:03] <Drain_Bamaged> Hi can some one help me ?... I have installed Cairo -Dock and I placed it on the left of my screen and now its gone .. I have Googled it with no success ... I need to retrieve it please
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> belcher: we're all learning day by day
[11:03] <emil_> -0
[11:03] <axlr> k but it says that e-mail adress is invalid!
[11:04] <InDuS> belcher: enough
[11:04] <belcher> ActionParsnip, you gave an incorrect one. You also gave unneeded "advice" such as having to create a mount point (which I stated I had already done) and provided the humorous advice to use gedit to edit the /etc/fstab. Again, do not give advice where you are not 100% sure of what you are saying
[11:04] <jatt> what happens if you run cairo-dock from a terminal?
[11:04] <javierito> join ubuntu-es
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> belcher: i assume nothing in here due to the vast variation in abilities
[11:04] <mnaines> axlr: it does that on certain email addresses...Unless you go through Yahoo or MSN Hotmail, you might not be able to register
[11:05] <belcher> One needs to have ntfs-3g installed, however the fstab entry DOES NOT have to be "ntfs-3g" to enable rw mounting. Categorically so.
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> belcher: i am and that fstab line will work, ive given it to countless users who have come back and said "thanks it worked"
[11:05] <axlr> i have gmail
[11:05] <myself> hey if a computer is suspended in ubuntu will torrents still keep downloading?
[11:05] <Drain_Bamaged> jatt . I'm kinda a newbe on the terminal . any instructions you can give me using it ?
[11:05] <InDuS> its correct btw, fstab entry need not have ntfs-3g written in it
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> belcher: but if you use ntfs-3g as the fs type will it NOT work?
[11:06] <lstarnes> myself: I don't think so
[11:06] <mnaines> myself: Most likely not, because "suspend" is a low-power state, which shuts down the LAN ports to conserve power
[11:06] <myself> i see
[11:06] <myself> okay cool thanks.
[11:06] <belcher> ActionParsnip, it may, but it is not the recommended way to do it. You should stick with the current methods
[11:06] <dehqan> good day everybody ,while removing libxml2 ,many other packages have been removed ,how can find names of those packages that have been removed with libxml2 ?
[11:06] <belcher> InDuS, I know it's correct. I wish ActionParsnip would understand so that his future advice will reflect this
[11:07] <jatt> just go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal, type cairo-dock and then the return key
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> belcher: as long as the mount is ok and correct access is achieved then its fine
[11:07] <InDuS> belcher: well,there isnt proper documentation for it, even ubuntu docs list the ntfs-3g still
[11:07] <Drain_Bamaged> jatt . I'll do it now
[11:07] <belcher> ActionParsnip, no, it is not. Again, the RECOMMENDED way from the creators of ntfs-3g is to use "ntfs" as the filesystem type. If you feel you know better than them, please contact them and tell them so. Thank you.
[11:08] <Mech0z> Is Ubuntu a bad choise for Raid5 and MDADM (Think thats the right term) or should I get another linux distro for storage server purposes
[11:08] <belcher> It is not good enough that "something works".
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> belcher: will do
[11:08] <belcher> ActionParsnip, thank you
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> belcher: quite welcome
[11:08] <InDuS> in fact, even fat32 mount is incorrect for a lot of guides
[11:08] <mnaines> Mech0z: Is it hardware RAID (RAID support provided by the motherboard)?
[11:08] <Mech0z> Software raid
[11:09] <Mech0z> oh
[11:09] <belcher> InDuS, yes. Most of it is outdated, and that is not helped by people like ActionParsnip who keep providing out of date information "because it works"
[11:09] <Mech0z> I will run with raid controllers, but I will use softwareraid
[11:09] <InDuS> belcher: i pm you
[11:09] <mnaines> Mech0z: You're better off using the RAID controllers on the motherboard
[11:09] <belcher> A novice googling advice and providing it to other novices is dangerous
[11:09] <Mech0z> mnaines then I am limited by number of drives too quick
[11:10] <Mech0z> my shitty MB only have 6 ports where 2 are raid
[11:10] <mnaines> Mech0z: my motherboard supports 6 SATA drives, all 6 SATA ports support RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, and JBOD
[11:11] <dbu_> Hi, I want to create users on the fly from a python script -> so I SSH in as root from my script and run "adduser", but I need some way of encrypting the passwords that I have, anyone know of a way?
[11:11] <Mech0z> mnaines 2 secs checking the mb manual
[11:11] <dbu_> I was thinking crypt so I could run adduser --password pass..
[11:11]  * fire_fox re pairnei kaneis apo sas kreatini?
[11:11] <dbu_> but crypt is pretty anti - automation..
[11:11] <mnaines> Mech0z: What motherboard is it?  Mine is the nVidia 680i SLI
[11:12] <Drain_Bamaged> jatt . Ciaro -dock is running its just when I configured it to be placed on the left of my screen it disappeared and wont pop out of auto hide .. and I dont know how to configure it to go to the bottom of my screen with out the dock in view to right click it
[11:12] <Viki27> Hello i would like to convert documents (odt & doc format) to pdf files ? any idea how i can do that ?
[11:12] <Mech0z> mnaines this bad board http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=K10N78FullHD-hSLI%20R2.0&s=
[11:12] <Mech0z> its not a server board
[11:12] <Mech0z> (at all)
[11:13] <mnaines> dbu_: You can use the default Password and Encryption Keys program in Ubuntu for encrypting passwords
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Viki27: open office may have a pdf printer, or if you look along the top bar yuo will see a pdf button that you can hit and save the pdf
[11:13] <dbu_> mnaines: explain?
[11:13] <Mech0z> mnaines it supports raid5, but I dont have a slot for my systemdisc then
[11:13] <dbu_> mnaines: I want this to be run from a script without any outside input...
[11:14] <mnaines> Mech0z: You don't need six disks for a RAID 5...
[11:14] <grawity> dbu_: 'useradd' accepts password hashes, which could be made with 'mkpasswd'
[11:14] <Mech0z> mnaines no but I want at least 6 disc
[11:14] <dbu_> grawity: thanks!
[11:14] <mnaines> dbu_: Try #python...They may be better help than us
[11:14] <Mech0z> I was planning on going from 3 to 7 discs + the systemdisc
[11:14] <mnaines> Mech0z: What do you need 6 disks for?
[11:14] <Mech0z> does that matter ?
[11:14] <grawity> dbu_: mkpasswd -h sha256 "mypassword"
[11:15] <dbu_> grawity: awesome!
[11:15] <dbu_> thanks a million
[11:15] <Dextorion> g'day
[11:15] <mnaines> Mech0z: Yes, because you could choose three or four terabyte drives over 6 smaller drives
[11:15] <Mech0z> I have 3 1Tb drives now which are full
[11:15] <Mech0z> therefore I want to expand and was thinking of getting 4 more 1Tb and making it one big Raid5 array
[11:15] <dbu_> grawity: -h isn't an option...
[11:16] <grawity> Hmm
[11:16] <mnaines> Mech0z: How much are you willing to spend?
[11:16] <dbu_> grawity:version 4.7.30
[11:16] <VuZe> hey
[11:16] <VuZe> ActionParsnip:
[11:16] <Mech0z> not that much, I have found a 8 port fujitsu controller for around 200$ (I live in denmark btw)
[11:16] <VuZe> ActionParsnip: im running linux off the livecd
[11:16] <grawity> dbu_: ah, it's mkpasswd -H sha-256 "text"
[11:17] <mnaines> Mech0z: You're better off getting NAS (Network Attached Storage)
[11:17] <dbu_> wow, thanks a lot!
[11:17] <Mech0z> nononono
[11:17] <VuZe> ActionParsnip: i tried setting the identifier line to Default Monitor and Default something else
[11:17] <Mech0z> waaay too expensive per Gb
[11:18] <VuZe> ActionParsnip: i can run off the livecd though, so im thinking a reinstall might fix the problem?
[11:18] <VuZe> ActionParsnip:  what do you think
[11:18] <belcher> ActionParsnip, I must go, but again I implore you; stop giving advice for things which you have no idea about. Thank you for your time.
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: if you read the xorg.conf for the live cd yuo can copy sections over to file on the partitions on your internal drive
[11:19] <VuZe> what
[11:19] <VuZe> ActionParsnip: i ahvent got linux on a partition, ive got it on a seperate physical drive
[11:19] <mnaines> Mech0z: Try this...I know it is expensive, but this may be better help: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816151032
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: the live cd has a working x server, you can read the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy it to your internal partitions to make yours work
[11:20] <VuZe> right
[11:20] <VuZe> ill try that then
[11:20] <VuZe> ActionParsnip:  ill see if that works
[11:20] <Mech0z> mnaines cant afford that, also in denmark you do at least +20% in price compared to newegg
[11:21] <Mech0z> it is sweet though
[11:21] <mnaines> Mech0z: It still gives you an idea of what to look for from companies in Denmark
[11:21] <VuZe> ActionParsnip:  its the same as the default one
[11:21] <Mech0z> well yes but I know what I "should" get but its like 3x what I would like to spend
[11:21] <VuZe> ActionParsnip:  and i know that doesnt work
[11:21] <mnaines> Mech0z: You gotta pay to play
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: well thats more info
[11:22] <Mech0z> true, but software raid should still make it less expensive, your one of the only one suggesting hardware raid when running linux distro
[11:22] <VuZe> ActionParsnip:  what would you say to a reboot fixing it? because i tried to install ati drivers the first time i booted into linux, that might have broken something
[11:22] <mnaines> Mech0z: Because I know most operating systems do not have very good support for software raid and I know software raid isn't as fast or as reliable as hardware raid
[11:23] <Mech0z> speed dont matter, only reliability
[11:23] <VuZe> ActionParsnip:  not reboot, reinstall i mean
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> VuZe: thats an option too
[11:23] <mnaines> Mech0z: Then you want hardware raid and a raid 5 setup...Software raid has to be reloaded every time you reboot
[11:23]  * fire_fox tha fygo sta ori sta agria vouna....peste ston [[SHARIRAH]] na min me enoxlei giati tha faei block
[11:24] <VuZe> ActionParsnip: i only installed yesterday so i havent got any important documents or anything.
[11:24] <VuZe> Thanks for all of your help guys, cya
[11:24] <Mech0z> mnaines my computer almost never reboots so that wouldnt be an issue
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> vuzid do that then
[11:25] <mnaines> Mech0z: You have to take into account natural disasters and power outages when determining reliability of hardware
[11:25] <Mech0z> well with raid5 it should be rather safe, not super but ok
[11:25] <mnaines> Mech0z: Yes, but as I said, software RAID isn't as reliable
[11:26] <InDuS> i have a strange question, when i tilt my system my cdrom starts working or viceversa, i have checked all cables
[11:26] <indra_00769> tes
[11:26] <InDuS> also,i have to say, my system was transported by road without any thermocol padding for 800 km
[11:27] <InDuS> so :)
[11:27] <InDuS> and when the cdrom wont work, HDD light stays on all th time
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: does it play audio cds without a tilt?
[11:28] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: well, it does when the light is on,otherwise its like it has no power going to it, and HDD light stays on all tht time in that case
[11:28] <InDuS> something short on my mobo i think
[11:29] <InDuS> iam actually lucky only cabinet was bent, system works ok,but have this tilt to work or tilt back
[11:29] <mnaines> InDuS: Did they report the lack of padding to you when it was delivered?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: i'd try an fsck if the hdd light is going crazy
[11:29] <Mech0z> mnaines think I am getting this http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?pid=598941
[11:29] <Mech0z> very cheap and LSI have good records
[11:29] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: well,fsck does fail sometimes
[11:29] <_TJ> got a question.
[11:29] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: whats the command to fsck on boot?
[11:29] <_TJ> I orig installed ubuntu
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !fsck
[11:30] <_TJ> then did sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:30] <_TJ> after it all installed
[11:30] <InDuS> mnaines: ya my friend delivered it to me ,its my old system,fool shipped it without any padding :)
[11:30]  * fire_fox kanei kanenas radio na akousoume re sis?
[11:30] <_TJ> i did sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[11:30] <mnaines> Good call, Mech0z...That should do nicely...8 ports is more than enough
[11:30] <_TJ> then i tried to do apt-get autoremove
[11:30] <_TJ> to remove the rest of ubuntu pkgs but it wont work
[11:30] <_TJ> any ideas
[11:30] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: ok shudown -F hmm ill do it
[11:31] <InDuS> ActionParsnip: but i do think HDD is dying
[11:31] <_TJ> might got it
[11:31] <_TJ> nvm
[11:31] <InDuS> what other symptoms of HDD dying should i careful?
[11:31] <mnaines> InDuS: Hard drives don't like telling you they are dying...They'll just quit
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: click of death
[11:32] <_TJ> nope didnt work...
[11:32] <_TJ> any ideas how to remove the gde pkgs
[11:32] <_TJ> ?
[11:32] <Mech0z> btw mnaines do you know why it on http://www.lsi.com/obsolete/megaraid_sas_8308elp.html says it supports 16 drives when it only have 2 8087 plugs?
[11:32] <_TJ> would it be apt-get remove gnome
[11:33] <_TJ> ?
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> InDuS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Faq8tetLRM
[11:33] <mnaines> Because that is a Serial Attached SCSI controller, not a SATA controller
[11:33] <grawity> _TJ: "gde"? do you mean KDE or GNOME?
[11:33] <_TJ> Gnome
[11:33] <mnaines> Mech0z: You want one that supports Serial ATA, not SCSI
[11:33] <erUSUL> Mech0z: supports port multipliers ?
[11:33] <Mech0z> With support for both SAS and SATA II drives, the eight-port MegaRAID SAS 8308ELP provides greater deployment flexibility with support for up to 16 devices using SAS expanders.
[11:33] <gst> recording is not working
[11:33] <Mech0z> I never found out what a SAS Expander was
[11:33] <_TJ> grawity: gnome
[11:33] <gst> any suggestions?
[11:34] <Mech0z> but it do support sata drives
[11:34] <mnaines> Mech0z: You need one that's a dedicated SATA card, not SAS
[11:34] <Mech0z> why?
[11:34] <mnaines> Mech0z: It will specifically tell you how many SATA ports are on it...Make sure it says "8 Serial ATA II ports"
[11:35] <Mech0z> well why wouldnt this work?
[11:35] <mnaines> Mech0z: Because it can only support two Serial ATA drives
[11:35] <Mech0z> dont you just use one of those cables that split into 4 cables?
[11:35] <blip-> i've set my xorg.conf to work my DVI 22" LCD... but the monitor says signal is out of range...   I'm using the correct resolution.   any ideas ?    http://pastey.net/123317       thanks
[11:35] <mnaines> Mech0z: You cannot do that to Serial ATA
[11:35] <InDuS> ya click click i havent heard,but it keeps doing grr grr grr every 5 sec
[11:36] <InDuS> but it doesnt sound strange
[11:36] <mnaines> Mech0z: With Serial ATA, it is one drive per port...Nothing you can do to change that
[11:36] <hienvh> #ubuntu-no
[11:37] <adaptr> Mech0z: if you have a SAS?SATA controller, yes, you attach SATA drives with splitter cables, 4 channels to a cable
[11:37] <adaptr> mnaines: please stop spouting nosense
[11:37] <erUSUL> Mech0z: http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_expanders/

[11:50] <blip-> mnaines: but it's a dvi connection on an LCD, LCD's don't have refresh rates
[11:50] <mnaines> blip-: You still need to set it manually for the monitor to be recognised
[11:51] <blip-> mnaines: ah ok.   I'll give it a try now.  thanks
[11:52] <mnaines> blip-: Just a word of advice - The computer does NOT know what kind of cable you use to attach hardware.  All it knows is what the hardware is and what it is supposed to do.  Put simply, the computer cannot tell the difference between a VGA or a DVI connection, so you still have to configure the monitor manually like you would if it was hooked up via VGA

[12:29] <gangil> Hi , I accidently did mv  /home/usr/Desktop , now I dont know where my Desktop contents have gone , plz help!
[12:30] <gangil> where is the desktop folder then?
[12:31] <rsk> gangil: where you specified it to go
[12:31] <gangil> nowhere
[12:31] <gangil> I just did mv /...desktop and hit enter
[12:32] <rsk> gangil: use sudo updatedb && find Desktop to locate it
[12:33] <gangil> It gives find: `Desktop': No such file or directory
[12:33] <gangil> rsk: ^
[12:34] <rsk> gangil: then it's renamed.
[12:34] <rsk> ruskie@ruskie-desktop:~$ find Desktop

[12:35] <gangil> Is there any possibilty that it is deleteed
[12:35] <rsk> not sure
[12:36] <jakerue> OK my latest effort will be deleting the partition and straight copying my sda6 onto it....hope I don't bork everything....here goes nothing
[12:36] <gangil> mv /home/gangil/D*
[12:37] <gangil> this is the command I gave
[12:37] <gangil> and pressed enter
[12:38] <ubuntu> gangil: i think it might be deleted
[12:39] <ubuntu> just tried the similar on my comp and the file disappeared
[12:39] <gangil> is there any way to recover it?
[12:39] <gangil> it's very imp!
[12:39] <leaf-sheep> rsync have --delete option.  (Delete files that don't exist on the sending side).  I don't understand this. Does that mean it'll remove all files on the remote system because it does not exist on my side?
[12:40] <gangil> ubuntu: how can mv delete !?
[12:40] <gangil> it either renames or moves AFAIK
[12:41] <leaf-sheep> gangil: "sudo updatedb ; locate <name of folder or one file in a folder>
[12:41] <ubuntu> probably moved it to somewhere ...

[13:09] <g0wda> ?
[13:10] <bjorkintosh> g0wda, it needs a filter
[13:10] <Firefishe> Hello everyone.  I am running 9.04 on an HP netbook, and am having some problems with the lack of screen real-estate to display some configuration menus, like Appearance.  The bottom of the window--with the Okay button--is below the bottom of the screen, so I can't really save any new changes.  Is there a workaround for this?
[13:11] <g0wda> bjorkintosh I see... Can you explain a bit?
[13:11] <bjorkintosh> who made the printer?
[13:12] <g0wda> TVS
[13:12] <g0wda> TVS E india
[13:13] <toehio> I updated my ubuntu 9.04, and it did something to my graphics. Why does this happen?
[13:14] <C-S-B> Firefishe: try hold alt and dragging the window up off the screen
[13:14] <C-S-B> :)
[13:14] <arand> Firefishe: not directly which I know of, temporarily you can use alt-dragging to move the windows to show the buttons, and for a more lasting solution you could install ubuntu netbook remix, whoose interface is adapded to smaller screens...
[13:15] <C-S-B> arand: the alt solution is the same on UNR
[13:15] <Firefishe> C-S-B: How do I use the alt feature?
[13:15] <Firefishe> This netbook isn't mine, I installed ubuntu on it for a friend.  It's her first time with linux, and I don't want her having to search irc for weird fixes like this.
[13:16] <C-S-B> Firefishe: hold the alt key then click and drag the window
[13:16] <arvind_khadri> !bitlbee
[13:16] <arand> C-S-B: yea, but it's likely not to be necessary there, right?
[13:16] <arvind_khadri> hi anyone here uses bitlbee?
[13:16] <C-S-B> arand: yes it is, i used it. maximas will maximise your windows but theres no real way around some software
[13:17] <kanshisha> lo all
[13:17] <USSJoin> Firefishe: Maybe (and I hate to say this) Jolicloud would be better?
[13:17] <USSJoin> Since it's specifically designed for netbook real estate....
[13:18] <Firefishe> C-S-B: It appears the ALT-drag function won't work.  The screen I'm in is the Login Manager dialog.  The window is too long in the vertical, and the top of the screen is completely to the top panel
[13:18] <richardcavell> how do I tell which package a program belongs to?
[13:18] <Firefishe> USSJoin: Jolicloud...is that a distro?
[13:18] <C-S-B> USSJoin: UNR and jollicloud are basically both as good as each other, the screen is pretty small, you'll have issues what ever
[13:18] <danbhfive> richardcavell: dpkg -S
[13:18] <USSJoin> Firefishe: Yes. <http://www.jolicloud.com/>
[13:18] <C-S-B> Firefishe: jollicloud is ubuntu netbook remix but the apps are mostly cloud based
[13:19] <USSJoin> C-S-B: This may be true. I just know they've spent a *lot* of time on this.
[13:19] <USSJoin> (I just got into the Joli beta, but haven't installed it yet.)
[13:19] <Firefishe> C-S-B: Well, I don't have time for a complete re-install, especially of a distro I've never worked with before.  What I need is a compact--or small theme--for what I've got currently.
[13:19] <richardcavell> danbhfive: is there a way to do that for filenames?
[13:20] <USSJoin> Firefishe: Well, it's Ubuntu-based. So you should be good. And a lot of its updates *are* essentially big themes. (Look at the screenshots.)
[13:20] <USSJoin> Anyway, just a thought.
[13:20] <kripso> hi i have some problems solving the flash plugin for firefox in ubuntu 9.04 (32 bits)
[13:20] <danbhfive> richardcavell: I don't get it, that command is for filenames
[13:21] <arand> kripso: do you have flashplugin-installer installed and all other flash packages removed?
[13:21] <C-S-B> Firefishe: ubuntu netbook remix and ubuntu are fine for the netbook, some programs will be an issue with the small screen. if you are trying the alt drag trick you'll need to turn off the dsktop effects iirc. Some programs are just going to cause troulble with such a small screen.
[13:21] <richardcavell> danbhfive: doesn't work
[13:21] <DanielHughes> #pitivi
[13:21] <C-S-B> kripso: whats the prob?
[13:22] <kripso> C-S-B: it disconnects when trying to watch *tube flash videos
[13:23] <kripso> C-S-B: thats a reported error/bug
[13:23] <C-S-B> kripso: what disconnects? the network connection?
[13:23] <kripso> C-S-B: no it want show the video
[13:23] <C-S-B> what plugin did you get and where from?
[13:24] <kripso> C-S-B: and it dont work in fullscreen propper
[13:24] <danbhfive> richardcavell: well, I dunno.  It usually works for me...
[13:24] <arand> kripso: reported bug?  in what way?
[13:25] <danbhfive> richardcavell: are you sure the file is in a package?
[13:25] <kripso> C-S-B: i have the flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound atm tried every 3
[13:25] <kripso> aviable
[13:25] <kripso> using the gnome Synaptic Package Manager
[13:25] <richardcavell> danbhfive: I'll paste bin an example
[13:26] <arand> kripso: usually flashplugin-installer (and all else removed) is normally the recommended way.
[13:26] <richardcavell> danbhfive: http://pastebin.com/d8ae05d2
[13:27] <danbhfive> richardcavell: so, that means hello is in the package hello: apt-cache show hello
[13:27] <kripso> arand: do i have to remove the SWF decoders to?
[13:28] <Firefishe> USSJoin, C-S-B:  I just scrolled up--had to tend to Wifey :-)--and read what you stated.
[13:28] <adrenalink> hello to verybody
[13:28] <gst> hello...
[13:28] <adrenalink> i've a question about ubuntu kernel update
[13:28] <Firefishe> I've looked at the Jolicloud site, and it looks intriguing...although I don't understand why they just don't make it another desktop and not an entire distro.
[13:28] <richardcavell> danbhfive: okay I got it now thanks
[13:29] <USSJoin> Firefishe: I think it's a bunch of tightly-coupled drivers and such, too.
[13:29] <USSJoin> (Not really sure. Haven't played with it yet.)
[13:29] <adrenalink> why do I find more kernel choices when i update my kernel???
[13:30] <bob> rc.freenode>.net
[13:30] <arand> kripso: I think that might be worth a try, if you do a search for flash in synaptic, flashplugin-installer should be the _only_ installed package
[13:30] <C-S-B> adrenalink: what do you mean?
[13:30] <Firefishe> USSJoin: I see.  It *does* look interestig.
[13:30] <cornjuliox> is it ok to uninstall pulseaudio?
[13:30] <cornjuliox> it wont play nicely with my FF
[13:31] <adrenalink> example i've kernel 28.11
[13:31] <cornjuliox> i can't play mp3s with FF open to youtube, and I'm not interested in having to download a package just to fix it; if I can get rid of PulseAudio then i'd rather do that.
[13:31] <Firefishe> cornjuliox: Have you tried using Volume Control to move the audio stream to whatever it is you're using/
[13:31] <Firefishe> ?
[13:31] <adrenalink> if now I update it to 28.15
[13:31] <cornjuliox> Firefishe: what exactly do you mean by that?
[13:31] <Soyo> cd /etc
[13:31] <adrenalink> i find two choice inthe bootloader
[13:31] <Soyo> hahah
[13:31] <Soyo> sorry
[13:31] <grawity> adrenalink: When you install a new kernel, the old one is not removed.
[13:32] <Firefishe> cornjuliox: Are you not able to play mp3's in firefox (I'm assuming you mean listening to them on a web site), are you not hearing sound in your speakers or headphones?
[13:32] <grawity> adrenalink: Old kernels are left in case the new one doesn't work
[13:32] <cornjuliox> Firefishe, no i mean I can't play mp3s that are stored locally on my hard drive, when I have firefox open to a youtube video
[13:32] <grawity> adrenalink: If the new kernel works fine, the old ones can be uninstalled.
[13:32] <cornjuliox> Firefishe, i've got to do one or the other or else sound won't work
[13:32] <C-S-B> arand: im using adobe-flashplugin works fine, only one that actually did.
[13:33] <cornjuliox> I just want to know if I can get rid of pulseaudio safely without breaking ubuntu
[13:33] <Firefishe> cornjuliox: Essentially, I also have that problem, although I don't ever find I have to have both operating at once.
[13:33] <cornjuliox> i read the help page, it looks like all its good for is streaming sound over a network (or something..)
[13:33] <Xubuntnoob> Hi, i was working on this problem last night, but i ran out of time before we found a solution. I cannot view the video on this page, and am having trouble figuring out why.   http://thenextweb.com/2009/08/20/amazing-beautiful-realistic-piece-computer-art/?awesm=tnw.to_nct   FIREFOX PLUGINS =  flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-installer are both v10.0.32.18      vlc multimedia (compatible totem 2.26.1) windows media plugin 10, quic
[13:33] <adrenalink> how much space does the old version hold??
[13:34] <C-S-B> cornjuliox: pulse will play mp3s and youtube at the same time.
[13:34] <C-S-B> cornjuliox: its oss that will cause troule with that
[13:34] <arand> C-S-B: adobe-* ? what kind of package/ubuntu version is that?
[13:34] <kripso> arand: did what you said removed the flashplugin i had before installed the new one (closed firefox before i installed) same problem: heres a screen http://jump.fm/SUVYH
[13:34] <Firefishe> cornjuliox: pulse audio is also good for re-routing sound streams from one feed to another.  I use USB headphones, and I'm always having to re-route the sound.  It works better in kde4.3 with phonon, but in gnome I use pulse audio's volume control dialog to move an active stream to the headphones.
[13:35] <Ozzah> Hey guys... I can't seem to figure out how to make my microphone record, but not play through. (as in, it should record in software, but if I talk into the mic I don't necessarily want to hear myself in real time). How do I turn that off? I can't seem to figure it out.
[13:35] <danbhfive> Xubuntnoob: it looks like it uses flash
[13:35] <C-S-B> arand: good point, im on 9.04, pretty sure i got it from symantic
[13:35] <mnaines> Ozzah, check the Microphone Boost
[13:35] <cornjuliox> right now I've gone into sound and set everything to use ALSA
[13:35] <Xubuntnoob> danbhfive: which i have installed
[13:35] <Firefishe> Ozzah:
[13:35] <Ozzah> mnaines: where is that?
[13:35] <C-S-B> arand: adobe-flashplugin - Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
[13:36] <Firefishe> Ozzah: That can be tricky.  Essentially, you're looking for a volume slider on the Playback side, not the recording sid.e
[13:36] <Firefishe> side
[13:36] <cjspider> goto options on bottom right in firefox and "allow all on this page" will let you view video on youtube
[13:36] <arand> C-S-B: THat must be some non-standard package, it's not in the standard repos
[13:36] <Ozzah> Firefishe: Yes, that is how it work in windows, but if I mute the playback side, then it won't record any more. They seem to be connected, even though logically they should be seperate
[13:37] <arand> kripso: and you are neither able to view youtube vids?
[13:37] <cornjuliox> bottom line, i can't play mp3s on the hard drive while FF is open to youtube (buffering a video, say), and I'm led to believe that Pulseaudio is my issue.
[13:38] <kripso> arand: youtube works but not every simular hosts for videos playing in flash
[13:38] <kripso> maybe i need an older flash plugin so maybe i should install it without apt resporties?
[13:38] <Soyo> My server stops serving everything after about 45 minutes from when I walk away from it. I imagine this must be a power-management issue. PM-utils is not set to hibernate ever, so I guess it must be APM or ACPI but I don't know how figure that out.
[13:38] <cornjuliox> can it be removed?

[13:40] <jiohdi> I have a partition in ext3, called data, but it does not always show up in the file system... where do I find it? under what folder?
[13:40] <arand> kripso: I'm not sure, the plugin for linux does always suffer a bit it seem, so the only thing to do is whine at adobe, really. You could try just downloading the vid using flashgot or similar, and then watch it from disk, if that's a solution.
[13:41] <kripso> arand: yeah i will need to find a solution
[13:42] <danbhfive> jiohdi: try mount
[13:42] <C-S-B> jiohdi: you can then add it to fstab
[13:42] <jiohdi> dan, I dont find a folder called mount, only mnt
[13:42] <grawity> jiohdi: 'mount' is a command.
[13:43] <blip-> bravo Charlie
[13:43] <danbhfive> jiohdi: yeah, when you run mount, it will tell you about all your mount points
[13:43] <C-S-B> jiohdi: if it's mounted in ubuntu, it will be in /media, but you can check with cat /etc/mtab
[13:43] <jiohdi> it does not always mount, and that may be the problem how do I make it permanently mounted?
[13:44] <buch> Anyone who know if/how you can make wine open on workspace 2 by default?
[13:44] <C-S-B> jiohdi: like i said, add it fstab

[13:45] <jiohdi> c s b, I dont know how to do that
[13:46] <C-S-B> !fstab
[13:46] <buch> !wine
[13:46] <jiohdi> thanks c s b
[13:48] <InDuS> !windows
[13:49] <maszlo> I wanted to know if there was anything special that needs to be done in setting up multiple burners / lightscribe drives for multi burning use
[13:50] <nnull> how can i make a partition invisible to windows?
[13:50] <Firefishe> C-S-B: Regarding my previous issue:  I now understand the ALT-grab sequence.  The thing is, I can't drag the Login window up above the top panel.
[13:50] <InDuS> nnull: which partition
[13:50] <Firefishe> C-S-B: It won't budge.
[13:51] <nnull> InDuS, one i want to create in free diskspace
[13:51] <maszlo> nnull: format it in something it doesn't know ext2-4 reiserfs
[13:51] <C-S-B> Firefishe: do you have effects on?
[13:52] <InDuS> nnull: well,windows cant see your ubuntu partitions anyway
[13:52] <psygonx> do someone know something about moblin ?
[13:52] <maszlo> psygonx: what about it? I have tested it on my eee
[13:52] <nnull> Yeah good point in theory that makes sense, cheers ill give a prac run ;)
[13:52] <Firefishe> C-S-B: Yes, they're set to the middle setting
[13:52] <psygonx> i had an very good moblin system
[13:52] <psygonx> but my problem is i cant find xorg.conf
[13:52] <nnull> i must of made a NTFS partition last time i had the problem
[13:53] <C-S-B> Firefishe: try the alt drag trick after turning them off.
[13:53] <kripso> flash works fine now, removed everything and did go for the root: 'apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree'.
[13:53] <Firefishe> C-S-B: K..will do.
[13:53] <JPSman> what sort of program should I grab for beginner to intermediate level sound editing?  Same with video editing?
[13:53] <maszlo> psygonx: when I tested it was locked down as well.  and was actually fedora based
[13:54] <InDuS> nnull: ubuntu can see your windows partitions, but windows cant see ubuntu stuff
[13:54] <maszlo> psygonx: not really locked down, but couldn't get my touchscreen working
[13:54] <JPSman> InDuS: somewhat
[13:54] <psygonx> i try it too at the moment ;)
[13:54] <JPSman> InDuS: gimme a sec to look it up
[13:54] <psygonx> but i cant install driver
[13:54] <InDuS> JPSman: what i said
[13:55] <Kalisto_> i need a little help with installing ubuntu on an existing fakeraid system with windows already installed
[13:55] <aethelrick> JPSman: maybe try Audacity for sound editing, not sure how expert you need the package to be though, so I may be way off base with this one
[13:56] <Kalisto_> ubiquity tells me no operating systems installed which is weird
[13:56] <Firefishe> C-S-B: That did the trick.  What's keeping the alt-grab trick form working with effects on, though?  Compiz limitation?
[13:56] <JPSman> aethelrick: not much, just want to take clips out and put them with other stuff.  Thank you for responding :O)
[13:57] <aethelrick> JPSman: maybe try cinelerra for video?
[13:57] <JPSman> aethelrick: is cinelerra in the add/remove list?
[13:58] <GPL> how to use/import a Qt settings file in Ubuntu Qt4settings app ?
[13:58] <Firefishe> C-S-B: Right now, the entire OS is performing flawlessly on this HP 100...It's beautiful!  I don't want to bork it just to try UNR.  Tell me, is UNR something I can just add to my repository list and try?  Also, if I do, will it bork my current installation?
[13:59] <aethelrick> JPSman: have a look here for how to get it http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php
[13:59] <gst> any compiz developers over here??
[13:59] <timeout> I have a latex question- anyone know about latex here?
[13:59] <GPL> gst : #compiz
[13:59] <simran> if i want to install an exe via wine, where does the exe have to be placed? which folder?
[13:59] <ukev> timeout, what do you want to know about latex?
[14:00] <JPSman> aethelrick: thank you!!!
[14:00] <grawity> simran: Anywhere.
[14:00] <aethelrick> JPSman: yer welcome :)
[14:00] <a94060> simran: you shoul just be able to double click it
[14:00] <C-S-B> Firefishe: UNR will give you a different interface and will maximise your apps windows, i doubt any troubles will be solved by it
[14:00] <GPL> simran, just right click that .exe and choose "Open with Wine Application "
[14:00] <arand> timeout: if no one here, try #latex
[14:00] <timeout> ukev: my left-most column is not row-aligned with the rest of the table...
[14:00] <grawity> simran: The virtual C: is ~/.wine/drive_c/ though, you might want to put it somewhere there.
[14:00] <timeout> arand: not a very active foum, unfortunately :(
[14:00] <nnull> does it usually take a long time to create a 600 gig ext3 partition?
[14:00] <C-S-B> Firefishe: i had/have unr but not using its interface
[14:01] <nnull> nvr mind its done, took like 2-3 mins :O
[14:01] <Firefishe> C-S-B: I concur.  To me, what is needed is a way to change the way current windows are sized...to me, themes would seem to be--at least on the surface of it--the overall solution.
[14:01] <simran> cheers grawity
[14:01] <timeout> ukev: I'd like to fix it, of course. Could you understand the problem description?
[14:01] <simran> thanks gpl
[14:01] <Firefishe> C-S-B: Besides, not all of the dialogs have this issue.
[14:01] <ukev> timeout, yes I do, but I would recommend you to join a latex channel :)
[14:01] <arand> timeout: true, but probably more knowledgable on advanced topics ;)
[14:01] <Firefishe> C-S-B: Some work just fine.
[14:01] <Mike_lifeguard> How can I move files from where Transmission downloads them to another location but still seed them?
[14:02] <Firefishe> C-S-B: Well, I'll post a note in the Readme.txt for my friend about the alt-grab trick.  Now, I need to see if xfce is working right ;)
[14:02] <Gallez> what file contains global aliases like "inst" instead of "sudo apt-get install"?
[14:02] <Firefishe> C-S-B: Thanks for your help.
[14:02] <Halitech> Mike_lifeguard, you would have to copy them or stop seeding, move them then restart the seeding and point at the files in the new location
[14:02] <Soyo> Anyone know about power-management? In the GUI it shows the computer to never hibernate, but it seems to be doing it anyway after about 45 minutes. I am trying to find where those settings are in a file but power-management files and folders are spread out throughout the computer and I am really confused
[14:02] <C-S-B> Firefishe: its a limitation of the screensize, some apps are poorly coded
[14:03] <Mike_lifeguard> Halitech: how would you restart seeding after moving the files?
[14:03] <Gallez> what file contains global aliases like "inst" instead of "sudo apt-get install"?
[14:03] <timeout> ukev: arand: ok
[14:03] <Halitech> Mike_lifeguard, do you still have the torrent file?
[14:03] <Firefishe> C-S-B: I see.  Then I guess I'll have to be the one to re-write those portions of code.  ;-)
[14:04] <grawity> Gallez: I recommend putting aliases to ~/.bashrc - there isn't any need for them to be global.
[14:04] <C-S-B> Firefishe: please do
[14:04] <Mike_lifeguard> Halitech: I assume so, I haven't deleted them... but I'm not sure where they are now that I think of it
[14:04]  * Mike_lifeguard looks around...
[14:04] <GPL> Mike_lifeguard: just click that torrent file, you downloaded, and point to the new location to download, it ll automatically check if the files are already there, and the download bar will reload to 100% and will start re-seeding
[14:04] <C-S-B> Firefishe: my worst is the facebook plugin for fspot
[14:04] <Soyo> !pm-util
[14:04] <Soyo> !power
[14:04] <simran> grawity, you spend a lot of time here...are you a teen or a computer techy or sumthin ?
[14:04] <Firefishe> ubottu fspot
[14:04] <Gallez> grawity: by global i meant permanent, not erased at the end of the session
[14:04] <Firefishe> !ubottu fspot
[14:05] <Halitech> Mike_lifeguard, if you have the torrent file, just reopen it with whatever program you are using, if you don't, you would need to get it or just copy the files to the new location and let it seed from the original
[14:05] <maszlo> can someone please shed some light on what is the best way to burn two disks at once?  and if this process is even possibe with dowing two lightscribes burns at once

[14:45] <{g}> llutz: yeah.. was hoping there is something more intuitive.
[14:45] <{g}> ccooke: ok. i think i will use head | tail
[14:46] <Haellman> okay (:
[14:46] <linux_guy> ccooke, well i am trying to setup samba, so i need the internal ip i think
[14:47] <ccooke> {g}: If you want intuitive, you might like: sed -n '100,200p'
[14:47] <simran> gartral wt do i wana do in the config
[14:47] <harby> hi
[14:47] <{g}> ccooke: how about `head -n 200 | head -n 100` ?
[14:47] <harby> is there any ftp client to upload more than one files?
[14:48] <disappearedng> Hey I need some advise for windows
[14:48] <{g}> oh no
[14:48] <ccooke> linux_guy: then ifconfig (as people said) will be right. You could also use "ip addr", which has a more compact output.
[14:48] <{g}> its nonsense :)
[14:48] <disappearedng> aside from vm, how should I go about isntalling windows?
[14:48] <eurythmia> has anyone tried the *new and improved* ati catalyst drivers yet?
[14:48] <disappearedng> I don't want to reboot to go into my windows
[14:48] <bazhang> disappearedng, dual boot
[14:48] <BenB> disappearedng: on a different computer?
[14:48] <thiebaude> bazhang, hi
[14:48] <disappearedng> bazhang: I can't dual boot cause I am running calculations on my server
[14:49] <bazhang> thiebaude, hi!
[14:49] <bazhang> disappearedng, then it is a vm
[14:49] <aethelrick> harby: have you tried typing ftp://yoursite.com into the address bar in nautilus?
[14:49] <BenB> disappearedng: there are only 4 options: 1) two computers, 2) dual boot, 3) virtual machine, 4) wine
[14:49] <linux_guy> !paste
[14:49] <aethelrick> harby: then you can drag an drop as many files as you like
[14:50] <Pooding> hey guys... does anyone know a good place that i can get screenlets and themes?
[14:50] <bazhang> disappearedng, for an iPod? to update the firmware?
[14:50] <harby> aethelrick: gFTP can do this, but uploads one file each time and not many
[14:50] <disappearedng> yeah
[14:50] <BenB> disappearedng: oh. just go to a friend.
[14:50] <bazhang> disappearedng, a vm will do that no problem
[14:50] <disappearedng> cause I dd'ed the entire ipod with /dev/zero
[14:50] <harby> aethelrick: did you understand what i am saying?
[14:50] <disappearedng> BenB: I have no friends
[14:50] <zamba> is it possible to only project one workspace over a projector?
[14:51] <BenB> disappearedng: that would be the first problem to solve, then :-)
[14:51] <linux_guy> what is my ip?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/259291/
[14:51] <Rejjn> suggestions for a tool to configure ethernet adapters?
[14:51] <jiohdi> I have a partition named data, but I cannot mount it, says its locked... help?
[14:51] <linxeh> network manager ?
[14:51] <Pooding> can anyone help me please
[14:51] <aethelrick> harby: ah ok, I think  I understand
[14:51] <llutz> linux_guy: wlna0 -> 192.168.1.105
[14:51] <disappearedng> linux_guy what are you on
[14:51] <disappearedng> are you on wireless?
[14:52] <linux_guy> disappearedng, yes wireless
[14:52] <linxeh> Pooding: freshmeat?
[14:52] <harby> aethelrick: for example, says 125 of 3520, now goes like this 125, 126, 127
[14:52] <Pooding> yep
[14:52] <Pooding> well
[14:52] <Pooding> no
[14:52] <harby> i want to go like this 125, 132, 142, ...
[14:52] <aethelrick> harby: I don't know an application that does this for upload, only for download
[14:52] <disappearedng> then wlan0
[14:52] <linxeh> Pooding: and http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Category:UserScreenlets
[14:52] <Pooding> but only just reinstalled
[14:52] <Rejjn> linxeh: i'm using server version, so no GUI
[14:52] <harby> for example filezilla do this
[14:52] <linxeh> Rejjn: there is a command line interface to it
[14:52] <disappearedng> hey anyone here tried reinstalling ipod's firware?
[14:52] <Pooding> linexh
[14:52] <Pooding> thats no good
[14:53] <Pooding> its a bad site
[14:53] <Rejjn> linxeh: oh, thanks, will check it out
[14:53] <bazhang> disappearedng, sure, via vm
[14:53] <ani1> Is there anyway to list recently installed packages and dates while chrooted? fglrx broke my machine :(
[14:53] <disappearedng> bazhang, i think gtkpod or amarok should work better
[14:53] <Pooding> i need something like gnome-look
[14:53] <harby> oh, filezilla works in linux too :)
[14:53] <bazhang> disappearedng, not for firmware, no
[14:53] <disappearedng> why not?
[14:53] <bazhang> needs iTunes
[14:54] <nuketro0p3r> hello :$
[14:54] <disappearedng> technically, you could just dd the entire firmware onto the ipod
[14:54] <ravenger> can anbody tell me how to mount the iso image
[14:54] <disappearedng> then take it out of itunes then
[14:54] <disappearedng> you see I DO HAVE THE firmware
[14:54] <Pooding> at least ipods work on linux, i have  a zen
[14:54] <disappearedng> i have the firmware, through some other means
[14:54] <bazhang> disappearedng, okay. Good Luck with that.
[14:54] <disappearedng> no it's just that I don't know how to apply that onto my ipod
[14:54] <disappearedng> just dd?
[14:54] <C-S-B> ipods and linux, i think it will be a relationship that will die :( doesnt the new one not work?
[14:55] <Andy80> hi all
[14:55] <ani1> ravenger, install gmountiso
[14:55] <ravenger> thanx
[14:55] <Andy80> if I'm inside my home PC, connecting with SSH. how/where can I enable/manage Remote Desktop only using the command line?
[14:55] <disappearedng> C-S-B I hear some korean mp3 makers are working with gnu
[14:56] <disappearedng> I think non-open mp3 formats are like the stupidest idea ever
[14:56] <disappearedng> they won't increase the number of ppl using those OSes, it will force them to buy some other mp3 players
[14:56] <ani1> Andy80, I use VNC installed on my windows box and use xtightvncviewer from cli to launch the viewing window
[14:57] <C-S-B> disappearedng: really? Id love for someone to make an mp3 player that i can just drop my oggs/mp3s on to and it will just play whilst having the style and size of an ipdo
[14:57] <Confield> Anyone have a link on how to get Chrome working with Flash after Flash updates?...breaks Chrome on Linux almost everytime...Flash can be a real PITA. :)
[14:57] <disappearedng> cowon
[14:57] <disappearedng> it's like the best brand out there (alternative
[14:57] <disappearedng> ogg compatible
[14:57] <C-S-B> Confield: just drop the plugin in the plugin directory and call the app with a few tags
[14:57] <Andy80> but... is there only the graphical tool to configure the remote desktop in Ubuntu?
[14:57] <C-S-B> its all over google
[14:58] <thiebaude> Confield, you have to -enable --flash
[14:58] <C-S-B> Confield: sorry, i might have jumped the gun there
[14:58] <C-S-B> Im running chromium with the latest flash if thats what you mean
[14:58] <shentino> gaaaah!!!

[15:01] <disappearedng> dude that's not how you flood
[15:05] <ani1> How would one properly chroot to fix a broken system? fgrlx broke x - I need to uninstall fgrlx packages however chroot doesn't detect /proc for inet connections. I'm using a livecd now
[15:05] <ani1> do I just need to mount /proc? or will that cause issues?
[15:05] <vasuvi> ani1: read the Gentoo documentation ;)  seriously, though, try this:
[15:06] <Gnea> ani1: you can mount it within the chroot
[15:06] <vasuvi> ani1: mount -r proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc
[15:06] <ani1> ahhh
[15:06] <vasuvi> ani1: make that -t, not -r
[15:06] <Gnea> vasuvi: gentoo?
[15:06] <ani1> gotcha - thanks @all
[15:06] <vasuvi> ani1: and mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev
[15:06] <epsy> Cuddles, around? :x
[15:06] <vasuvi> Gnea: yeah, the Gentoo installation docs describe all of this
[15:06] <vasuvi> Gnea: it's part of their installation procedure

[15:07] <livingdaylight> Nehyx i wonder why he boot you?
[15:07] <thiebaude> lol
[15:07] <Gnea> !ops Nehyx continues to flood/spam #ubuntu
[15:07] <vasuvi> Gnea: it just happens to be very useful for lots of other distros too; not sure if Ubuntu has suitable guides for it or not, but I doubt it, given its focus on users who generally don't use the shell
[15:07] <Gnea> !ops | Nehyx continues to flood/spam #ubuntu
[15:07] <simran> can i install programs using wine, or only run  already installed programs?
[15:07] <Gnea> oops
[15:08] <bazhang> Gnea, got him thanks :)
[15:08] <livingdaylight> lol, Gnea did you just hit the 'panic' button?
[15:08] <Gnea> bazhang: sorry, just saw that lol
[15:08]  * Gnea is a bit slow today :)
[15:08] <bjorkintosh> yes he did. he cried wolf.
[15:08] <Gnea> I just explained, that i did not cry wolf.
[15:08] <bjorkintosh> it's okay.
[15:08] <Gnea> yes, it is.
[15:08] <bjorkintosh> next time, cry bear.
[15:09] <bjorkintosh> ... for variety.
[15:09] <shentino> how about dragon?
[15:09] <bjorkintosh> they'd know he was yanking their chain.,
[15:09] <bjorkintosh> until ... an invisible dragon swoops them all up to the sky.
[15:09] <Thom1> hi
[15:10] <Thom1> I use a guillemot hercules webcam, i compiled and install the ov51x module but there is still no /dev/video0, any idea ?
[15:10] <dehqan> good day everybody , how to install all packages in rep ?with which command ?
[15:11] <IdleOne> How do I get /dev/sda6 to be mounted at boot?
[15:11] <Viks> Hi everyone, this is first time I am trying IRC for Ubuntu help. I hope I am in correct room
[15:11] <shentino> Is anyone having trouble with the numeric keypad when using a PS/2 keyboard?
[15:11] <Gnea> !fstab | IdleOne
[15:11] <IdleOne> thank you Gnea
[15:11] <genii> Viks: Yes, ask away
[15:11] <Gnea> np
[15:11] <bazhang> dehqan, all packages? in the ubuntu repositories? at once?
[15:12] <Viks> I am using single board computer running ubuntu 9.04
[15:12] <Viks> I need to install one ISA card
[15:12] <Isaacariah> afternoon all
[15:12] <Viks> I installed driver but I am not able to detect ISA card
[15:12] <Gnea> !webcam | Thom1 (check this site out, it has pointers for a variety of webcams)
[15:12] <arvind_khadri> !enter | Viks
[15:13] <IdleOne> dehqan: how large is your HDD?
[15:13] <Isaacariah> using ubuntu 9.04, wifi connects fine on ra0, just wondering if I can setup some sort of script to run when my wifi connects? I want to auto-change proxy settings and connect t various shares, whcih I can do, I just dont know how to run the script automatically
[15:13] <Viks> alright sorry about it. is there anything like device manager where I can get list of hardware I ?
[15:13] <dehqan> all packages in locak rep
[15:13] <dehqan> what is command ?
[15:13] <arand> dehqan: I think you could use synaptic for that, if you filter by "origin".
[15:13] <bazhang> dehqan, please paste your sources.list
[15:14] <genii> Viks: Since ISA is very old now the plug and play system doesn't bother much with it. You can add the name of the module the card would use to /etc/modules  file however.
[15:14] <simran> How can i remove the recovery partition boot selection from Grub
[15:14] <dehqan> what is command what is the way ?
[15:14] <bazhang> cat /etc/apt/sources.list  ----> paste.ubuntu.com dehqan
[15:14] <IdleOne> dehqan: sudo apt-get install thewhole-kitnkaboodle\
[15:14] <snx> hi everyone. how do i increase the hard disc volume? i'm not able to install updates for ubuntu, because it's not enough space. anyone?
[15:15] <erUSUL> !gparted | snx
[15:15] <Viks> genii, so I should read about modules ?? can you tell few commands I should look into ??
[15:15] <vpilo> hello
[15:15] <Thom1> Gnea, thanks
[15:15] <ani1> Thanks again for the chroot tips - got it working with networking now =)
[15:15] <thiebaude> simran, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[15:16] <vpilo> I'm having a problem with the mobile network connection, the sim pin entry dialog accepts 4 digits at most, but the pin can be way longer than that!
[15:16] <genii> Viks: First you should find what module the card should be using ... google is usually not bad for this. Then you open the /etc/modules file with a text editor in admin mode so you can edit it. then you add the module name there on a line of its own, save the file. Next reboot it loads the driver.
[15:17] <freakynl> hi, i had setup ubuntu with 1 disk raid-1 partitions (mdadm). today i added a second disk (with mdadm --grow and --add and modified /etc/mdadm.conf to read it has 2 instead of 1 device) rebooted and it doesn't come up anymore. if i boot in recovery mode last thing i see is /dev/mdX (X is 0-2) stopped for all md devices this line appears twice. any ideas? kernel seems to autodetect them just fine no clue why they're stopped
[15:17] <genii> Viks: You can load from commandline a driver with method:    sudo modprobe modulename
[15:17] <keriati> hi, just installed ubuntu 9.04, howevery my intel pro wireless 3945 card won't work, always says, that device is not ready, is there some known solution? :O (with kubuntu 9.04 it just worked fine)
[15:17] <genii> Work requires me 3-5 minutes so I may seem unresponsive here.
[15:17] <bazhang> dehqan, do you have the sources.list for us to see?
[15:18] <Viks> yeah I tried modprobe, commands run well but not able to installed card. I am new to linux so I am sure I am not doing it right. I just wanted to get directions. what should I look into, I think as u suggested I should look modules.
[15:19] <Ktron> I have remote (SSH) access to a ubuntu desktop machine, I restarted it and therefore logged myself out of my desktop session, is there a way to get back to log into GDM remotely? I think there must be a way using VNC or similar...
[15:19] <ani1> Another question I have -- Using wireless is there any conf file I can copy over from the live cd to my broken system for wireless to keep settings (e.g. essid, key etc)... I have to switch the mode from managed to ad-hoc for the essid to take and same for the enc key...not sure if thats how its supposed to work but i've never been able to connect via cli with iwconfig before
[15:19] <robocop1> hello
[15:19] <dehqan> bazhang how can install all packages in local rep ?this is question ok ?
[15:20] <robocop1> do you know how I can install the program "convert" in my ubuntu ?
[15:20] <robocop1> http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_convert.htm
[15:20] <dehqan> how can install all packages in local rep?any way ?
[15:21] <Gnea> dehqan: are you familiar with the pastebin.com site?
[15:21] <Ktron> dehqan, why would you want to install all of them? Repositories are meant to be 'picked' from
[15:21] <IdleOne> dehqan: it's a local repo but if he used !clone it would be easier and he wouldnt have to use a local repo
[15:21] <C-S-B> Ktron: id be intrigued to see how much space you would need to install the lot
[15:21] <IdleOne> errr Ktron ^^^
[15:21] <dehqan> ktron because of that while removing libxml2 ,many packages have been removed and system corrapted
[15:22] <Ktron> robocop1, if you're referring to the 'convert' command that ImageMagick provides, install ImageMagick
[15:22] <robocop1> ha, okey, thanks
[15:22] <Gnea> dehqan: so you should still be able to pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[15:22] <dehqan> idle0ne what do you mean ?
[15:22] <dehqan> yes gnea but source list is not problem ok ?
[15:22] <IdleOne> dehqan: we can't help you without seeing your sources.list
[15:22] <Ktron> dehqan, I suppose apt-get install * might work...
[15:23] <MaYobi> hello every one
[15:23] <Ktron> dehqan, well, that will do all packages, all repositories
[15:23] <dehqan> source.list > deb file:/ archives/
[15:23] <dehqan> ok ?
[15:23] <Ozzah> Help, I  ran firefox with sudo to see if that was the reason "Check for updates" was greyed out, but now my history/bookmarks has died. I assume because sudo changed firefox's profile owner/permissions (?) does anybody know how to fix this?
[15:23] <Ktron> dehqan, if the only repository you have in the one you want _everything_ in, I bet apt-get install * will work
[15:23] <Gnea> dehqan: all you have to do is type this in a terminal:  cat /etc/apt/sources.list     and then put it up on http://pastebin.com
[15:24] <dehqan> # apt-get install *
[15:24] <dehqan> Reading package lists... Done
[15:24] <dehqan> Building dependency tree
[15:24] <dehqan> Reading state information... Done
[15:24] <dehqan> E: Couldn't find package 222
[15:24] <FloodBot2> dehqan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:24] <Ubersoldat> Ozzah: check if what you're saying is true
[15:24] <ani1> Ozzah, you should run graphical progs with gksudo -- did you close out of your sudo firefox and reopen to see if they show under your profile?
[15:24] <vpilo> Ozzah: did you try closing all firefox windows then restarting firefox normally
[15:24] <thiebaude> !pastebin
[15:24] <Andy80> how can I start x11vnc in my remote Ubuntu PC if no one is logged into X yet? x11vnc tell me to use something like this: -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth but I cannot find that file in my Ubuntu... any idea?
[15:24] <Ktron> Ozzah, did you try closing down firefox complete, and running it not as root? It'd probably still just using the 'root' or 'superuser' profile
[15:24] <MaYobi> i have proble. My desktop show the icons mounted volumes, how it disable without gconf-editor?
[15:24] <Ubersoldat> Ozzah: $ls -lRa ~/.mozilla | grep root
[15:25] <Ktron> Ozzah, and its greyed out because its disabled in Ubuntu so that Ubuntu's package manager doesn't conflict with firefox's
[15:25] <Ozzah> ani1: I closed sudo firefox, and opened regular firefox and bookmarks/history were gone, and firefox had an error. When I opened sudo firefox again, my history/bookmarks are woking again
[15:25] <dehqan> ktron apt-get install * didnot work
[15:25] <MaYobi> i need to show only new mounted device
[15:25] <MaYobi> not from fstab
[15:25] <Ktron> dehqan, er, try apt-get install \* then
[15:25] <arand> dehqan: like I said, start synaptic, filter by "origin", choose your repo, and mark all for installation
[15:25] <simran> how do i edit grub - so it doesnt show my vista recovery partition in the selection
[15:25] <Ozzah> Ubersoldat: I have 5 files that are owned by root
[15:26] <dehqan> arand it is command line
[15:26] <Ktron> dehqan, arand 's solution is way better
[15:26] <ani1> Ozzah, see what Ubersoldat said -- and stop running firefox in sudo -- run it in your reg profile to see if they show back up
[15:26] <dehqan> arand it is command line
[15:26] <Ktron> dehqan, ah
[15:26] <thiebaude> !grub
[15:26] <Ktron> dehqan, did apt-get instal \* change your mileage?
[15:26] <ani1> Ozzah, I bet you could chown those files back to your user :\
[15:27] <dehqan> ktron did not work
[15:27] <deadleaf> how i can a put a password for one of the folders in my home
[15:27] <deadleaf> ?
[15:27] <IdleOne> dehqan: what version of Debian are you running?
[15:27] <genii> Viks: Because the hardware autodetect system cannot automatically determine what driver to use, you must research the card to find what the driver name is. Then you may also need to know what irq and address it uses so that you can specify this when you load the driver.
[15:28] <ani1> deadleaf, you can change the file permissions to require root pw
[15:28] <purefusion> help
[15:28] <IdleOne> !help | purefusion
[15:28] <dehqan> idle0ne 5.0.2
[15:28] <Ozzah> Thanks everyone who helped... I chowned those files back, and everything is working again :)
[15:28] <deadleaf> ani1,  ok but what if i want to give it a different password?
[15:28] <IdleOne> lenny? sorry we cant help you try #debian

[15:28] <ani1> deadleaf, you can setup trucrypt

[15:29] <genii> Viks: I have an old ISA card for instance that requires:   cs4232 io=0x330,irq=7              as the line in /etc/modules
[15:29] <Ktron> dehqan, nvm
[15:29] <Ktron> dehqan, apt-get install [a-z]*
[15:29] <arand> dehqan: What you could do is make sure only the repo youre installing from is enabled (edit sources.list) and then do "apt-cache pkgnames | xargs sudo apt-get install" I guess...?
[15:29] <Ktron> dehqan, that should work
[15:29] <RagnarokAngel> when I boot up pavucontrol it's not recognizing that I have any devices, despite the fact that it is playing music through my speakers and/or headphones.
[15:30] <Viks> genni, I have all those things but I do not know the process to use irq and io address. I know the name of the card with recommended io and irq setting but when I use given installation process everything goes smothly but I can NOT use it. is there any way to find out if my card is recognized by PC
[15:31] <dehqan> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[15:31] <dehqan> is only available from another source
[15:31] <dehqan> E: Package gcc-4.1-doc has no installation candidate
[15:31] <IdleOne> Gnea: you have time to hold my hand with fstab? blkid is not giving me a UUID for /dev/sda6 and honestly I am lost
[15:32] <arand> dehqan: I'm guessing you're going to get a load of those messages, but does it work otherwise?
[15:32] <Viks> is there anything like device manager to show available ISA cards on my PC ??
[15:32] <Ktron> dehqan, sounds like your repository references packages that can't be installed
[15:32] <piroko> Is there a tool out there that can generate a complete dependency list for a particular package and download or give me links to said dependencies
[15:32] <piroko> ?
[15:32] <armence> Hello, is there a way for me to have Skype and Pidgin start when I login?
[15:32] <DaZ-> IdleOne,  ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ? :f
[15:33] <Ktron> armence, yeah, I believe ins in the menu under "Sessions", you can set programs to autostart
[15:33] <simran> I installed ubuntu on my sony vaio laptop, i am running it of ac, and the brightness is stuck on full and cannot be adjusted by the applet, the power management doesnt show no brightness adjustment settings
[15:33] <Gnea> IdleOne: what DaZ- said
[15:33] <RagnarokAngel> armence: short answer: yes
[15:33] <arand> armence: startup applications in system>preferences menu
[15:34] <Gnea> IdleOne: I think you have to reboot to get it set right too
[15:34] <armence> arand: thanks
[15:34] <RagnarokAngel> arand: I knew that option was somewhere
[15:34] <Bearfoot> simran, if you are using Nvidia drivers, try nvidia-settings
[15:34] <IdleOne> Gnea: I rebooted twice and no go
[15:34] <IdleOne> DaZ-: ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not list it
[15:34] <genii> Viks: Please put my name in a message which you wish me to see. I am in many channels here. To answer.. since the autodetect system doesn see the ISA stuff as something it knows about it won't appear in device manager, etc. But references to ALL your hardware will show in the result of: dmesg       or in result of: sudo lshw
[15:34] <Gnea> IdleOne: o.O pastebin your /etc/fstab?
[15:35] <simran> Bearfoot: yes, i am...i dont think i saw it in the nvidia settings
[15:35] <ani1> piroko, apt-rdepends is what your looking for I believe
[15:35] <Gnea> IdleOne: does fdisk list it?
[15:35] <Ktron> Anyone know how to connect VNC to GDM remotely, or another way to start up a graphical login session starting from remote (SSH) access only?

[15:36] <tales_2010> is there any way to set up a file to be downloaded, say 30 minutes from now ?
[15:36] <Viks> genii: thanks, I am trying sudo lshw.
[15:36] <Ktron> tales_2010, look up the 'at' command and 'wget' command
[15:36] <arand> dehqan: And I think you could use setting some -y option on my proposed command string as well, so that all questions are "yessed" automatically
[15:36] <TonyTheTiger> hey guys how do I turn graphical affects
[15:36] <IdleOne> Gnea: DaZ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/259311/
[15:36] <tales_2010> Ktron, at+wget tx
[15:37] <ani1> TonyTheTiger, using compiz - you can install ccsm to modify those settings
[15:37] <simran> Bearfoot: that doesnt adjust the brightness of the screen but the desktop
[15:37] <arand> TonyTheTiger: are your video drivers up and working?
[15:37] <mattorre> if you want to continue your download with wget put wget -c "url"
[15:37] <piroko> ani1: Awesome, thank you
[15:37] <ani1> !ccsm TonyTheTiger
[15:37] <DaZ-> IdleOne, ...? :f

[15:41] <kri> hi did a screenshot of my problem.. what is the best 'rapidshare' to use for image?
[15:41] <mazda01> kri, imageshack
[15:41] <arand> kri: or imagebin
[15:41] <Arkns> grawity: thanks. but when I test in this site, doesn't work... http://www.codehouse.com/webmaster_tools/regex/
[15:42] <mazda01> kri, that's what I use anyway. there's even a cool nautilus script that allows you to upload a photo from the context menu of nautilus
[15:42] <cornet> mazda01: dropbox is even easier than that ;)
[15:43] <cornet> mazda01: copy file to ~/Dropbox/Public/  right click and select "copy public link"
[15:43] <kri> http://imagebin.org/61042
[15:43] <mazda01> cornet, where can I read about dropbox?
[15:43] <cornet> mazda01: getdropbox.com
[15:44] <kri> dropbox dont seems so good
[15:44] <ani1> http://www.getdropbox.com/install?os=lnx
[15:44] <Confield> C-S-B: Well, this worked for me for a while, http://jeanderuelle.blogspot.com/2009/07/enable-flash-on-google-chrome-linux-dev.html  But once Flash updated it broke Google Chrome for Linux...just curious if anyone else has had this problem.
[15:44] <IdleOne> Gnea: in gparted looks like sda6 is sda2 extended
[15:44] <kri> seems bloated
[15:44] <mazda01> thanks
[15:45] <Gnea> IdleOne: right, 2 is your extended partition, making 5 and 6 logical
[15:45] <kri> cornet: dropbox do you get free online space so to say and what about security? can i save documents etc there that are important?
[15:45] <rakudave> kri: not in the slightest. Ubuntu One is up to 120x slower
[15:46] <cornet> kri: well people can only get to stuff in folders you allow
[15:46] <IdleOne> Gnea: ok so now I would like 6 to be mounted at boot. so how do I do that?
[15:46] <cornet> kri: if you're that concerned about security then use gpg or truecrypt to encrypt them
[15:46] <resno> wheres he best place to get theme packages?
[15:46] <Gnea> IdleOne: can you get the uuid for 6?
[15:46] <simran> guys if i delete my recovery partition using gparted, would grub automatically deleted it from boot selection
[15:46] <cornet> kri: that's going to be the same for any online storage thou
[15:46] <DaZ-> dropbox is great but doesn't have any kde integration :c
[15:46] <cornet> DaZ-: :(
[15:46] <Gnea> simran: probably not
[15:47] <edbian> simran: It would if you run "update-grub" which would rescan the drives for all kernels (among other things)
[15:47] <IdleOne> Gnea: blkid does not show me the UUID for sda6
[15:47] <simran> kool, reason im deleting it is because i cannot find any solution to make ubuntu NOT find this damn partition
[15:47] <edbian> IdleOne: "sudo vol_id -u /dev/<yourHDD>"
[15:48] <kri> i will look into dropbox good for docuemnts, work applyments etc
[15:48] <edbian> simran: You can simply edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove that boot option
[15:48] <kri> but i have my googlemail for that cind of stuff
[15:48] <cornet> kri: oh dropbox also versions your files :)
[15:48] <kri> do anyone know how to change this boarder colour?
[15:48] <buch> simran: try remove menu.lst - then sudo update-grub - worked for me some days ago
[15:48] <cornet> kri: what window manager ?
[15:48] <kri> http://imagebin.org/61042 <-
[15:49] <VCoolio> Confield: what happens if you run the second command there again (not the mkdir one)? May it helps if you make a symbolic link instead of copying the .so?
[15:49] <kri> gnome. :/
[15:49] <simran> edbian: but that wnt stop it loading into ubuntu...in the file explorer
[15:49] <cornet> kri: you will need to edit the theme then
[15:49] <cornet> kri: or find a different one
[15:49] <IdleOne> edbian: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda ??
[15:49] <Halitech> simran, is there anything in gconf editor that might allow  you to hide it?
[15:49] <Gnea> IdleOne: not sure what's wrong.  sudo blkid  <-- that should list everything
[15:49] <edbian> simran: that's /etc/fstab.  Do you have any need for this "recovery" partition?  Or is it windows recover
[15:49] <kri> maybe a different window manger sudes my needs
[15:49] <edbian> IdleOne: "sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda<someNumber>"
[15:49] <simran> Halitech: the partition doesnt show in fstab,
[15:50] <kri> is there any window manager between 'windowmaker' and 'gnome'?
[15:50] <edbian> simran: You can make an entry for it that basically says "ignore this partition"
[15:50] <grawity> kri: There are lots.
[15:50] <simran> edbian how?
[15:50] <edbian> kri: "between" ??
[15:50] <IdleOne> Gnea: sudo blkid doesnt list it
[15:50] <cornet> kri: fluxbox, openbox, pekwm
[15:50] <IdleOne> edbian: unknown or non-unique volume type
[15:50] <grawity> kri: GNOME isn't actually a window manager -- it uses Metacity or Compiz.
[15:50] <Gnea> IdleOne: does it list anything?
[15:50] <edbian> simran: Well first answer my other question.  Do you have any need for this partition?
[15:50] <Halitech> simran, I'm just thinking, I don't use gnome so not sure whats there but maybe there is an option to hide drives not mounted by fstab
[15:50] <edbian> IdleOne: What command did you type?
[15:51] <pooding> can anyone tell me how to reset ubuntu to the state it was when i installed it?
[15:51] <IdleOne> Gnea: /dev/sda1 and sda5
[15:51] <simran> edbain: no not really...i havent used it yet
[15:51] <danfg> why is it that my network only "starts" when i run gdm?
[15:51] <Halitech> kri, xfce, openbox, all kinds
[15:51] <joakim> ani1, you mind if I pm you if there's a few things I need to clarity while reading it?
[15:51] <IdleOne> edbian: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda6
[15:51] <grawity> kri: Anyway, check Fluxbox, Enlightenment, Openbox, twm, IceWM, Xfce, wmii...
[15:51] <dayo> i'm looking for a package that let's me detect rogue dhcp servers
[15:51] <grawity> pooding: By installing it again.
[15:51] <edbian> simran: Than just delete it.  It is pointless to edit 2 or 3 config files simply to hide a partition when you could just delete said partition.
[15:51] <mazda01> IdleOne, u can always issue ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[15:51] <kri> saving this information down on a note
[15:51] <pooding> can't I just use a reset code?
[15:52] <Gnea> IdleOne: is 5 mounted?
[15:52] <grawity> pooding: There is no "reset code".
[15:52] <fabian__> hola
[15:52] <IdleOne> mazda01: tried that also
[15:52] <edbian> IdleOne: What is /dev/sda6 ??
[15:52] <intropants> arcti.ca
[15:52] <IdleOne> Gnea: yes
[15:52] <cornet> IdleOne: where do you want this mounted at boot ?
[15:52] <simran> edbian:  ok thanks
[15:52] <edbian> simran: NP! :)
[15:52] <pooding> there must be an easier way?
[15:52] <Gnea> IdleOne: okay. mount 6 somewhere, anywhere. then run blkid again.
[15:52] <IdleOne> edbian: it is an etx4 partition
[15:52] <simran> edbian: ill just use gparted within ubuntu
[15:52] <edbian> IdleOne: That shouldn't matter
[15:52] <grawity> pooding: You want it to be exactly like it was after installation?
[15:52] <IdleOne> Gnea: how do I mount it?
[15:52] <cornet> IdleOne: ?
[15:52] <pooding> i just want it to be fixed
[15:52] <edbian> simran: gparted rocks.  Just make sure you don't try to edit a partition you're mounted on.  If you need to edit ubuntu's root or something just use a live CD
[15:52] <cornet> IdleOne: where do you want it mounted ?
[15:52] <Gnea> IdleOne: what?
[15:52] <grawity> pooding: Fixed how?
[15:53] <Gnea> IdleOne: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/disk
[15:53] <pooding> all my effects are broken and everything thats supposed to be clear is black
[15:53] <kri> and oooh a disturbing thing when i mount a disk or soemthing it pops up on the desktop how do i get rid of that?
[15:53] <edbian> IdleOne: Can you "sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda5" ??
[15:53] <edbian> kri: gnome or kde ??
[15:53] <Gnea> edbian: it isn't going to detect until it's actually mounted.
[15:53] <pooding> i used metacity --replace
[15:53] <IdleOne> edbian: yes
[15:53] <kri> edbian: gnome
[15:53] <edbian> Gnea: O good point
[15:53] <kri> do i have to go thro that compis editor?
[15:54] <edbian> IdleOne: Gnea is right you need to mount /dev/sda6 before you can vol_id it
[15:54] <IdleOne> Gnea: says I have to specify a file system type
[15:54] <edbian> kri: Are you ready?  Open a terminal and type "gconf-editor"
[15:54] <simran> edbian: the recovery drive is present in ubuntu, but isnt mounted
[15:54] <simran> it should be safe
[15:54] <cornet> IdleOne: if you answer my question i can tell you exactly what to put in /etc/fstab
[15:54] <TonyTheTiger> hey guys i had some sort of graphics drivers installed but after a dist-upgrade they seem to have disapeared.
[15:54] <edbian> simran: It is safe :)
[15:54] <Gnea> IdleOne: sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda6 /media/disk
[15:54] <resno> where can i find theme packages for ubuntu?
[15:54] <edbian> simran: gparted won't let you edit partitions you're mounted on anyway I think
[15:54] <cornet> actually
[15:54] <kri> edbian: sudo -s? (root)
[15:55] <grawity> resno: http://gnome-look.org/ and http://deviantart.com/
[15:55] <stylist> Linux is technically inferior to Windows.
[15:55] <cornet> IdleOne: if you wanted it mounted at /media/disk on boot then
[15:55] <cornet> IdleOne: 1) make sure /media/disk exists
[15:55] <resno> grawity: thanks a ton.
[15:55] <pooding> grawity: I pmed you
[15:55] <VCoolio> pooding: if you use metacity your compiz effects won't work, that's no surprise. What happens with "compiz --replace"?
[15:55] <kri> edbian: ok is on i can find it from here thanks. its like the unix gpedit.msc
[15:55] <cornet> IdleOne: 2) add the following line to fstab
[15:55] <edbian> kri: Don't be root.  You'll edit root's settings: "gconf-editor"
[15:55] <simran> edbian: i have the same problem on my asus eee, but i would like to keep tht partition...how can i hide it from ubunut
[15:55] <kri> edbian: ok thanks
[15:55] <cornet> IdleOne: /dev/sda6     /media/disk    ext4    defaults    0  0
[15:55] <pooding> ahh, ok, i understand you. thanks

[15:56] <cornet> IdleOne: have you formatted the partition ?
[15:56] <edbian> simran: You want it to not show up in nautilus or your want it to not show up in grub?
[15:56] <pooding> woop, its fixed!
[15:56] <pooding> thanks
[15:56] <cornet> IdleOne: just because fdisk says it's ext doesn't mean it's actually formatted
[15:57] <kri> allready in Nautilus desktop
[15:57] <simran> edbian: not to show in nautilus

[16:04] <grawity> zamba: I don't think there's such a thing as "vga splitters"... it's not like a water pipe. To have two displays, you'll need two video cards, or something like that
[16:04] <cognitiaclaeves> cornet: Ah, so, 0-60/2 for even, 1-60/2 for odd; is that what you are saying?
[16:04] <cornet> cognitiaclaeves: yer
[16:04] <cognitiaclaeves> K.  Thanks again.  :)
[16:05] <cornet> cognitiaclaeves: np
[16:05] <grawity> kri: In the appearance settings window, click on 'Customize' button.
[16:05] <zamba> grawity: i have a vga splitter.. it's a physical box that takes the output from the graphic card and duplicates this to be outputted to a projector
[16:05] <TonyTheTiger> thats it I had restricted drivers, fglrx but they disapeared after a dist-upgrade, anyone know how to restore?
[16:05] <IdleOne> cornet: works great thanks. now how do I get my mounted partitions not to display icons on desktop?
[16:05] <grawity> zamba: It can only duplicate.
[16:05] <kri> grawity: ive done so
[16:05] <kri> grawity: then window boarder?
[16:05] <asfjio> hello, i've got a pdf which includes sticky notes, but i only see yellow note without text even when i hover on the note. is it possible to read those notes?
[16:05] <grawity> kri: Yes. Is 'Metabox' listed somewhere?
[16:05] <zamba> grawity: ah, ok.. so i have no way of separating what's being projected on the projector and what's on the screen?
[16:05] <kri> grawity: yes i use it..
[16:06] <omsai_waptop> Halitech: if I do just a "apt-get install build-essentials" as root after closing Synaptics it says "E: Couldn't find package build-essentials".  The internet works.  Does the package manager need a port open or something?
[16:06] <grawity> zamba: Buy a second video card. Some cards have two separate outputs, that would work too
[16:06] <omsai_waptop> Halitech: internet browsing works, rather
[16:06] <cornet> IdleOne: um you can disable completely in gconf
[16:06] <zamba> grawity: this will work for ubuntu, yeah?
[16:07] <mneptok> zamba: do you have DVI capability?
[16:07] <zamba> grawity: what if i have a display card that has one dvi and one vga output? is this a dual display?
[16:07] <zamba> mneptok: yeah
[16:07] <grawity> zamba: That might be possible - I don't know.
[16:07] <Ktron> Anyone know how to connect VNC to GDM remotely, or another way to start up a graphical login session starting from remote (SSH) access only?
[16:07] <cornet> IdleOne: i think if you mounting outside of /media then it won't
[16:07] <mneptok> zamba: you can split DVI to 2 discrete devices, and not simply mirror
[16:07] <cornet> IdleOne: so say mount it at /store
[16:07] <stylist> grawity stop being a linux fanboi
[16:07] <zamba> mneptok: what kind of equipment do i need then+
[16:07] <grawity> stylist: Huh?
[16:07] <zamba> mneptok: i guess i need an adapter?
[16:08] <mneptok> zamba: just a splitter cable
[16:08] <stylist> you will always believe linux is better no matter what "arguments" i give
[16:08] <zamba> then i'll get one vga output and one dvi output, right?
[16:08] <grawity> stylist: I believe both are equal.
[16:08] <kri> grawity: metabox have a boarder (arrow down)
[16:08] <cornet> mneptok: you can only do that with DVI *IF* the card supports it
[16:08] <zamba> mneptok: but doesn't that depend on the dvi model? if it's dvi-i or dvi-d or whatever they're called?
[16:08] <IdleOne> stylist: #ubuntu-offtopic please
[16:08] <grawity> stylist: Not that you have given any arguments yet...
[16:08] <mneptok> stylist: stop trolling, please
[16:08]  * grawity opens trolls.txt
[16:09] <Halitech> omsai_waptop, no s on the end, just build-essential
[16:09] <stylist> lol
[16:09] <stylist> well i downloaded the latest ubuntu
[16:09] <stylist> im gonna install it on this quadcore desktop some time soon
[16:09] <IdleOne> grawity: don't feed them and they stop coming :)
[16:09] <stylist> you can spot a troll a mile away
[16:09] <Myrtti> stylist: good luck
[16:09] <stylist> thanks Myrtti
[16:09] <iceroot> where are key-events like print-key saved in gnome? i need another tool if print-key is pressed
[16:09] <adrenalink> goodafternoon
[16:09] <reger> hello
[16:10] <Myrtti> stylist: in the meantime, did you have a Ubuntu support question?
[16:10] <t_> when I turn on my computer, (i use wicd network manager btw) I need to click on network manager and watch it for about 2 minutes until I see it connects so I can browse el internet.
[16:10] <stylist> I just have to find a 5.25" to 3.5" converter bracket around the house somewhere
[16:10] <arand> Hi, having a permission bug when copying my home directory: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/418135 Can anyone confirm/refute this?
[16:10] <Halitech> stylist, better for you and better for me are not the same, to each their own and use what is "best" for them
[16:10] <stylist> I was wondering where the best guide to hardening ubuntu was Myrtti
[16:10] <grawity> iceroot: You mean the Print Screen key?
[16:10] <beatbreaker> Hi, My GRUP won't work anymore for Ubuntu after i installed another OS on the system, the grub for that OS and XP work fine though
[16:10] <Myrtti> stylist: in what sense? security wise?
[16:10] <stylist> Yes security Myrtti
[16:11] <omsai_waptop> I hit reload and found it!  thank you so much Halitech
[16:11] <MaYobi> happy birthday Linux!!!
[16:11] <Halitech> omsai_waptop, welcome
[16:11] <iceroot> grawity: yes, i want to start ksnapshot instead of the gnome-tool
[16:11] <grawity> iceroot: And are you using Metacity or Compiz?
[16:11] <iceroot> grawity: normal gnome without compiz
[16:11] <deany> Ive installed samba, enabled [homes] shared, writing enabled, which should share automatically the home folders of users right? well I can access the share from command line but its not listed in nautilus, only "homes" and "print$" and clicking "homes" gives me error
[16:11] <ani1> arand, why dont you use tar to preserve permissions when copying?
[16:11] <beatbreaker> little grub help plox
[16:12] <grawity> iceroot: Metacity then... I think the settting should be in gconf, but I can't find it :\
[16:12] <ani1> arand, there are work arounds to it
[16:12] <kri> iceroot: dunno but i changed my keyboard shortcurts from the 'Ubuntu Main Menu' > 'System' > 'Preferences' > 'Keyboard Shortcuts'.
[16:12] <krammer__> i want to put ubuntu on my flashdrive and The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 28641.
[16:12] <krammer__> is this ok??
[16:12] <grawity> iceroot: Ah, /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command-screenshot - you'll find that in gconf-editor.
[16:12] <adrenalink> is there somebody that can help me with compiz manager on my acer???
[16:12] <VCoolio> iceroot: gconf-editor, then apps > metacity > global_keybindings
[16:12] <iceroot> grawity: thx
[16:12] <arand> ani1: possibly, but it's still a bug.
[16:13] <iceroot> VCoolio and kri thank you too
[16:13] <ani1> arand, is this only temp or other directories too?
[16:13] <ani1> arand, I would imagine its not a big deal if its in /tmp
[16:13] <giovanni_> hi to all
[16:13] <ani1> if its just in /tmp*
[16:14] <TonyTheTiger> my fglrx driver does not show up in my hardware driver section.
[16:14] <kri> grawity: Metabox cant do the trick? The boarder under this row is 1-2px thick and its grey.
[16:14] <adrenalink> =-Ois there somebody that can help me with compiz manager on my acer???=-O
[16:15] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, unless you enabled the proprietary driver it won't
[16:15] <arand> ani1: It's the source dir that gets the permission change, disregarding the copy.
[16:15] <TonyTheTiger> Halitech, how do I do that?
[16:16] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, if there was nothing there you can't
[16:16] <TonyTheTiger> Halitech, that doesnt make sense.
[16:17] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, why not? hardware drivers are only for proprietary drivers that Ubuntu provides
[16:17] <TonyTheTiger> Halitech, then where is the fglrx driver? I had it installed before and enabled. but after a dist-upgrade its not there.
[16:18] <TonyTheTiger> Halitech, and synaptic says I have already got the fglrx.
[16:18] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, check synaptic and see if its still installed, if not, install it
[16:18] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, what video card and what version?
[16:18] <aatehortua> c
[16:18] <ani1> arand, i launched nautilus copied my user folder over to /tmp ( no pop up dialogues) drwxr-xr-x and that is my perm
[16:18] <TonyTheTiger> Halitech, xpress 200m radeon
[16:19] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, what version of Ubuntu?
[16:19] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, the fglrx driver is the open source driver
[16:19] <TonyTheTiger> Halitech, 9.04
[16:20] <trixz> hi
[16:20] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, the 200m and 9.04 dont work with the ati driver http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English
[16:20] <arand> ani1: that's on your /home/user dir after copy?
[16:20] <rblst> i have an usb mouse attached to my laptop, and that mouse is way slower than my touhpad; can i synchronize their speed somehow?
[16:21] <t_> 342 wireless event too big
[16:21] <cv> 想请教大伙一个问题 ，Desktop版的UBUNTU与SERVER版的除了图形界面外，以及多装了些无用软件外，有其它不一样的地方吗？
[16:21] <fauxreigner> hey ubuntu channel - I'm shopping for a laptop, and I'm not sure what to make of ATI's linux drivers.  Is it a good idea to just avoid their cards altogether?
[16:21] <IdleOne> !cn
[16:22] <Halitech> fauxreigner, yes
[16:22] <t_> 342 wireless event too big
[16:22] <fauxreigner> halitech, thanks - I was afraid so.  Can you recommend any laptop manufacturers with Nvidia cards?
[16:23] <Halitech> fauxreigner, unfortunately I haven't looked but system76 has laptops pre-installed with ubuntu, maybe use them to get an idea of what to look for
[16:24] <arand> fauxreigner: I do not think too badly of dell when it comes to ubuntu-compability.
[16:24] <Ktron> fauxreigner, I think you can get Ubuntu on some of the Dell laptops too
[16:26] <happosade> What is the best PCI WLAN-card?
[16:26] <fauxreigner> Thanks - I've looked at several Dell models but I've got mixed feelings about some of the reviews I've seen, and I think it's hard to find a model with an option for an Nvidia GPU there.  Do any of you guys have experience with the Intel X4500HD graphics accelerator?
[16:28] <halomom> !dvd
[16:28] <rblst> i have a usb mouse attached to my laptop, and that mouse is way slower than my touchpad; can i synchronize their speed somehow?
[16:29] <holy> I try to connect a monitor to the laptop, but it shows the same screen
[16:29] <Ktron> Anyone know how to connect VNC to GDM remotely, or another way to start up a graphical login session starting from remote (SSH) access only?
[16:31] <danfg> can someone tell me what is the run order of gdm/kdm in your system? is it S90 K10?
[16:33] <TonyTheTiger> please can someone help me, my fglrx restricted driver is not showing up in the hardware drivers section.
[16:33] <TonyTheTiger> I need to enable it.
[16:33] <a94060> Ktron: do u mean like ssh -X ?
[16:33] <piasdom> g'mornin all
[16:34] <a94060> TonyTheTiger: if you know the name,you could just search it in synaptic
[16:34] <flyingfisher> hello
[16:34] <TonyTheTiger> a94060, I have searched in synaptic, it is installed for sure.
[16:35] <VCoolio> is there a file in which I can set sound theme settings? I know about the sounds preferences but openbox doesn't listen to that
[16:35] <piasdom> why does my sudo unable to resolve host?
[16:35] <robocop1> Have you ever seen the program 'libstartup-notification' in version >= 1.0 ?
[16:35] <holy> What password does LiveCD have?
[16:35] <a94060> TonyTheTiger: i think there is an option of hardware drivers in system->preferences or administration. no too sure
[16:36] <holy> How can I SSH to the Live Session User?
[16:36] <a94060> hoyl,i dont thinjk there is a password
[16:36] <simran> what app can i use to adjust brightness on an nvidia chipset?  the standard applet doesnt work (intel chipset)
[16:36] <sudheer> hiiiiiii
[16:36] <Dragonsong> Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me with getting the SMC Etherpower card to work on Ubuntu.  Ubuntu seems to detect the card as "Digital Equipment DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3]" and the chip is on the card so I assume that's right. Still, every time I try to connect to my network with it, it fails. The log dmesg gives me says "eth0: set link BNC" and "eth0: link up, media BNC" so my guess would be it's trying to use
[16:36] <TonyTheTiger> a94060, there is an option for hardware drivers BUT thats where my problem is. The fglrx driver is not showing there, nothing is.
[16:36] <cognitiaclaeves> holy: How do you SSH to a user at all?
[16:37] <cognitiaclaeves> holy: What are you trying to do?
[16:37] <Ktron> holy, do you mean, login via SSH? username is ubuntu, password is also ubuntu I believe
[16:37] <a94060> ahh ok TonyTheTiger sorry, I am not sure then. I gotta afk then
[16:37] <Ktron> holy, but unless you installed openssh-server, I doubt the live CD brings up an SSH server by itself
[16:37] <holy> a94060 then am I safe with LiveCD?
[16:37] <rblst> i have a usb mouse attached to my laptop, and that mouse is way slower than my touchpad; can i synchronize their speed somehow in 9.04?
[16:38] <cognitiaclaeves> that user and password is not root, I don't believe.
[16:38] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, the open source drivers do NOT show up in hardware drivers, that is for PROPRIETARY drivers that Ubuntu provides
[16:38] <TonyTheTiger> Halitech, but I had something showing there before.
[16:38] <TonyTheTiger> and if it doesnt then where are the fglrx driver
[16:38] <holy> cognitiaclaeves how to connect to remote computer running the system from LiveCD?
[16:39] <Ktron> cognitiaclaeves, its the live session user, which is what he asked for
[16:39] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, and you probably had the proprietary drivers installed that no longer work in 9.04
[16:39] <TonyTheTiger> this is all too confusing, why does ubuntu have to be like this.
[16:40] <TonyTheTiger> it was all fine. a dist upgrade messed it up.
[16:40] <cognitiaclaeves> holy: Sounds like you will need to install ssh and then ssh to ubuntu/ubuntu.  ( But I have never tried that. )
[16:40] <cognitiaclaeves> holy: Or, if you have some reason to worry about doing that, create a new user first and then ssh with those credentials.
[16:40] <Halitech> thats why I go by the old adage, if it isn't broke, don't fix it
[16:41] <holy> cognitiaclaeves I fear someone can easily browse my files using my IP from freenode network. That's all. Not  really try to connect to something.
[16:42] <holy> cognitiaclaeves thanks, this question is on my mind for few days
[16:42] <joakim> Rookie in need of some advanced help regarding sound card detection. I have no troubles getting my on board sound card to work, but the sb X-fi sound card I spent $100 on, wont even be detected, how do I fix?
[16:42] <cognitiaclaeves> holy: I can't tell you definitively that no one can, but if you open an xterm and type whoami, and the answer is not root, you should be pretty safe.
[16:42] <Halitech> joakim, does it show up in lspci?
[16:42] <Seidos> joakim, can you disable onboard sound in the bios?
[16:42] <joakim> <- Rookie. What is lspci?
[16:42] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, you're right, its messed up that Ubuntu allows you to download proprietary drivers automatically for your system and doesn't make you go and download them from the manufacturer's websites like Windows
[16:42] <Halitech> joakim, open a terminal and type in lspci
[16:42] <joakim> I tried that actually, still does not work
[16:43] <faizul> hi
[16:43] <Ktron> holy, you probably aren't even running an SSH server
[16:43] <TonyTheTiger> Ktron, although your quick to pick up on the criticism of ubuntu you completely missed the point I was making.
[16:43] <joakim> 05:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi
[16:43] <Ktron> holy, if you want to make sure, use netstat or nmap to see exactly what ports are open for connections, but unless your live CD system is on a public address...
[16:43] <faizul> anyone malaysian
[16:44] <hatter243> !ml | faizul
[16:44] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, I understand what you are saying but don't blame Ubuntu, blame ATI and Xorg for the changes both of them have made that is preventing your card from working the way you want
[16:44] <joakim> Halitech, yeah it shows up
[16:44] <NET||abuse> kanshisha, Khisanth was it one of you two the other day who came on and said "i have five minutes, i want to solve five peoples problems" maybe 3 or 4 days
[16:44] <NET||abuse> ago
[16:44] <Halitech> joakim, does aplay -l show anything?
[16:45] <undarkhost13> anybody in portuguese
[16:45] <IdleOne> !pr
[16:45] <IdleOne> !br
[16:45] <joakim> Halitech, shows me 2 devices
[16:45] <Halitech> joakim, ok, go into your sound mixer or sound preferences and try setting it to the sound blaster
[16:46] <TonyTheTiger> Halitech, I guess, I dont quite understand where the problem lies considering it was fine before. So its a little frustrating to say the least.
[16:46] <mikejet> any suggestions on how to set up cifs so I can read-write directories I create?
[16:46] <Seidos> the great thing about Linux is if you don't like something, you can learn how to to fix it.
[16:46] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, if you're trying to find fglrx, start with 'apt-cache search fglrx'; you probably want xorg-driver-fglrx. And if you google 'ubuntu fglrx' the first page is a howto on getting the binary video drivers for ATI running on ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[16:46] <undarkhost13> sou novo nestas aqui, não sei de que referes
[16:46] <joakim> Halitech, can we do it in private? Don't think it's as easy as that, since I cant really see the x-fi card in there
[16:46] <IdleOne> undarkhost13: /join #ubuntu-br
[16:46] <Halitech> TonyTheTiger, I understant, I have an X1200 that worked fine and after an upgrade it stopped working, I just went back to an older version
[16:46] <mikejet>   ... I don't care whether the server-user is the same as the cifs client-user. I just don't understand this super complicated samba.conf
[16:46] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, my guess is that you upgraded to 9.04, and lost fglrx?
[16:47] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, That's because I don't believe ATI has supplied an fglrx (binary, already compiled) video driver that works with the newer version of Xorg in 9.04.
[16:47] <Halitech> joakim, would rather do it out here in case someone else has an idea I don't think of
[16:47] <holy> Ktron but, for example, with 64 bit Ubuntu from www.caellinux.com, I run SSH using LiveCD; with some 'usual' password altogether...
[16:48] <piasdom> 'bye all
[16:48] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, would you have rathered Ubuntu wait on upgrading Xorg until every video card had a new binary driver, or ATI to hurry up and release a new fglrx driver for us linux users?
[16:48] <joakim> Halitech, you're right, that's probably a better idea. But well, if I go to preferences -> sound. I cant see any option to choose my x-fi card
[16:49] <Halitech> joakim, what options do you have?
[16:49] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, I'm still running 8.10 on my laptop because of this too, but its really ATI's problem to fix, not Ubuntu's
[16:49] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, They said they were going to release a new version with the next version of Catalyst, last I remember
[16:50] <Halitech> Ktron, TonyTheTiger I was talking to a tech yesterday and ATI has dropped support for alot of cards in windows as well and not just the cheap cards either and they are loosing a lot of sales because of it
[16:51] <mikejet> I have an old ubuntu server (command-line) system lying around and need to know when it's support ends. Is there a file in /etc that has that?
[16:51] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, the ATI binary driver for linux is still at 9.3, opposed to Vista, which just got 9.8. 9.3 came out... 3/18/2009 according to their website
[16:51] <joakim> Halitech, by which box? Default mixer tracks? The rest is on auto detect
[16:51] <IdleOne> mikejet: what version?
[16:52] <joakim> The Sound events, music and movies, audio conferencing that is
[16:52] <Halitech> Ktron, actually there is a new 9.8 out but only for select cards
[16:52] <mikejet> 7.04
[16:52] <Ktron> Halitech, TonyTheTiger, just found that http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
[16:52] <Halitech> joakim, for the ones that say auto detect, what do you have for options in the drop downs?
[16:52] <Halitech> mikejet, its already ended
[16:52] <IdleOne> mikejet: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details.
[16:53] <Ktron> Halitech, TonyTheTiger, looks like only X2300 and up
[16:53] <mikejet> apt-get gives very unfriendly error messages when support ends.
[16:53] <joakim> Halitech, some various versions of ALSA and OSS and some PulseAudio Sound server
[16:53] <Halitech> joakim, try the pulse audio option
[16:53] <joakim> Some HDA intel stuff
[16:53] <SpinachHead> anyone here have a system 76?
[16:53] <mikejet> IdleOne : Is there some way to determine when support ends other than just knowing?
[16:53] <genii> mikejet: You can temporarily swith repositories to old-releases.archive.ubuntu.com

[16:54] <ahtmly2k> when will ubuntu 64bit going to run smoothly?! most programs are still written based on 32bit i think.. i can't get the java on my firefox to run smoothly.. and my pidgin's starting to show some problems.. huff..!
[16:54] <IdleOne> mikejet: ^^^^ THAT LINK
[16:54] <joakim> Halitech, for now my on board sound is playing and I nothing really happened when I changed it
[16:54] <sipior> ahtmly2k: run a 32-bit install, if it bothers you.
[16:54] <Kalisto_> can someone help me with my FakeRaid 1 ubuntu setup ?
[16:55] <Kalisto_> it says it cant resize the raid since its not a valid ntfs..
[16:55] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, did that answer your question well enough?
[16:56] <omsai_waptop> Hi room, I would like to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu kernel and compare how my application runs agains the current one.  Hence I need to boot into one kernel and then go back and boot into the other.  First question regarding this 1) What packages do I need to install for the latest 2.6.28.15.20 kernel? -- is there a single meta-package?
[16:56] <TonyTheTiger> Ktron, sort of. i regret having upgraded.
[16:56] <ahtmly2k> why would i run a 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit processor..? i was told that a 64bit OS version would run more powerful..
[16:56] <genii> !compile | omsai_waptop
[16:56] <Halitech> joakim, I'm not sure, I've got a sb 5.1live and it just worked when I installed
[16:56] <sipior> ahtmly2k: you probably won't notice the difference.
[16:57] <jacquesdupontd> hey  everybody
[16:57] <ahtmly2k> and wouldn't it be great if you could install Adobe Creative Suite 4 on ubuntu..

[16:57] <joakim> Halitech, I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting some and it told me to do lspci -v | less
[16:57] <joakim> Halitech, on that one, my x-fi card clearly shows up
[16:58] <rods> Howdy! I'm not sure which emacs version I should install. I see one for GTk and one for X11. I thought X11 referred to my version of Xserver, but I'm not entirely sure what Gtk is. Yes, I guess every six months in I'm a linux newb :-)
[16:58] <mneptok> rods: GTK = GUI and X11 = console
[16:58] <ahtmly2k> notice it or not i don't think that the human beings that choose to control the machines should limit themselves to te limits of the system..
[16:59] <rods> mneptok: so If I'm going to set up auctex, I probably want Gtk? I have no qualms only working in the console

[17:01] <simran> anyone here used NVCLOCK ?#
[17:02] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, yeah, didn't it throw up a warning for you when you started the upgrade being like "WOAH, there's not fglrx driver for the new distrubtion, are you sure you want to upgrade?"
[17:02] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, :P
[17:02] <omsai_waptop> genii: cool, thanks.  It was option #2 on that Wiki page of pre-built kernels I was looking for
[17:03] <mikejet> What's the simplest way to configure cifs-server so linux and WinXP can mount, and create read-write directories? Something's messed up where "mkdir foo; touch foo/file" always fails.
[17:03] <Ktron> TonyTheTiger, maybe there's a way to backrev, I'm not sure, I've never done it, I usually end up reinstalling and restoring my data from my backup before trying the upgrade

[17:04] <Halitech> joakim, I'll be honest, it probably needs a module to be loaded but I'm not sure which one
[17:04] <Guest93065> jemand da der mir helfen könnte?
[17:05] <joakim> Halitech, I think you're correct. I read something about the modules ect. And I learned that one was at least available for x-fi

[17:15] <silvering> mplayer's for gnome
[17:15] <silvering> better KMplayer
[17:15] <raylu> mplayer isn't for gnome

[17:16] <DoctorPepper> I just installed ubuntu linux and have to save, run and work from the same folders as windows.  Is there a way to make symbolic links for example to let the config match what windows sees as D:\SABnzb to \media\sda1\SABnzbd?
[17:16] <Neto_Berola> is it possible to create something like a symlink for a user? My user name in this computer is a bunch of numbers, I would like to refer to myself using a name
[17:17] <DoctorPepper> I use just one program that I want this cross functino to work on ..
[17:17] <badr> Hello. all
[17:17] <edbian> Neto_Berola: Why don't you just change your name?

[17:17] <edbian> !ask badr

[17:18] <Neto_Berola> edbian: heheheh. The user name is a document number everybody has
[17:18] <raylu> DoctorPepper: why do you want to refer to it as d:\sabnzb? if you've installed the windows version in windows and the linux version in ubuntu, you can just symlink the config directory in your homedir to the windows one... probably
[17:18] <jerb> silverring: go out and yell at them. They like that.
[17:18] <edbian> campee: Right click the top one in a blank area and "add new panel"
[17:18] <DoctorPepper> symlink!
[17:19] <jerb> silvering: go out and yell at them. They like that.
[17:19] <raylu> DoctorPepper: but referring to it as D:\sabnzbd is impossible
[17:19] <silvering> jerb how about shoot all of them..
[17:19] <edbian> Neto_Berola: A document number?  That sounds....
[17:19] <edbian> Neto_Berola: stupid
[17:19] <jerb> Oh they like that also
[17:19] <DoctorPepper> thanks raylu I am now going to research symlinks and how to pull it off..

[17:19] <silvering> i`m not sure, but if i kill them all, there will be nobody to sue me, right?
[17:19] <Hellrabbit> hello
[17:19] <Saik> charliehorse55, it says there's no css library available too
[17:19] <edbian> campee: You don't have "new panel"  ?
[17:19] <Saik> I personally installed it
[17:20] <Neto_Berola> edbian: yeah, I don't like it either, but at least it's unique
[17:20] <campee> oh, i do have new panel. thanks.. :)
[17:20] <edbian> campee: Yep!
[17:20] <charliehorse55> Saik - Sounds like CSS IS installed, although some other I/O error is preventing it from working.
[17:20] <edbian> Neto_Berola: I suppose
[17:20] <campee> hmm. my apps aren't showing up in the new panel at the bottom fo the screen though..
[17:20] <edbian> campee: They're 2 separate panels.  You have to add things to each one separately
[17:20] <Myrtti> silvering: a) you're offtopic for this channel b) you're badly against Ubuntu Code Of Conduct
[17:20] <Neto_Berola> edbian: the company has some thousands of employees in the country... well, whatever :]
[17:20] <charliehorse55> Saik - Opps disregard what I just said -
[17:20] <campee> i just want the panel at the bottom of the screen that tells me what apps i have open
[17:21] <silvering> sorry
[17:21] <stiffler> hi
[17:21] <Myrtti> silvering: c) mind your language with the cursing

[17:24] <Saik> charliehorse55, doubt it'll work, but I'll give it a shot

[17:26] <Hydrid> it works
[17:26] <clint__> Saik: make sure you have medibuntu repos install
[17:26] <Hydrid> and now what
[17:26] <edbian> Hydrid: Now you configure /etc/apache/* files to get it working the way you want.
[17:26] <raylu> !prefix | Hydrid

[17:29] <djdarkman> hello is there an easy way to download a package's deb with all it's dependencies included?
[17:30] <DShepherd> apt-get?
[17:30] <Neto_Berola> djdarkman: not using apt-get?
[17:30] <raylu> djdarkman: unfortunately, no. aptoncd may be close to what you want, though
[17:30] <simran> is there anyway i can make smartdimmer into an applet so i dont have to go to terminal to change the brightness allll the time
[17:30] <clint__> Saik : go to http://www.medibuntu.org
[17:30] <raylu> djdarkman: though, if you don't mind installing it on a system, you can just grab the debs out of /var/cache/apt/
[17:30] <djdarkman> Neto_Berola: I need to have internet but to have internet I need a lot of packages in the first place
[17:30] <clint__> Saik: then click on repository howto
[17:30] <raylu> simran: you can just stay in the terminal all the time :D
[17:32] <djdarkman> so there is no painless way to do this?
[17:32] <simran> raylu no thanks
[17:32] <raylu> simran: why not? :(
[17:32] <clint__> Saik: follow the direction to install the repos 9.04 and the GPG KEY for your distribution
[17:32] <raylu> djdarkman: 11:28:23           raylu> djdarkman: though, if you don't mind installing it on a system, you can just grab the debs out of /var/cache/apt/
[17:33] <djdarkman> raylu: that's not good because there are a lot of packages there that I don't need
[17:33] <raylu> djdarkman: you can clean it first with "aptitude clean"

[17:36] <j2daosh> what directorys can i safely move from / to a different disk?
[17:37] <Saik> j2daosh, /home, for sure
[17:37] <simran> anyone here use nvclock??
[17:37] <scyx> raylu: xbmc is overkill if i only want to dump a few rtmp streams.. seems like no other program supports it atm =/
[17:37] <seezer> simran: yep
[17:38] <Saik> clint__, any more ideas?
[17:38] <raylu> scyx: indeed. i'm sure you can get thedailyshow from... elsewhere...
[17:38] <clint__> Saik: did you install w32codecs or w64codecs for 64 bits operating systems
[17:38] <Saik> w32
[17:38] <raylu> j2daosh: ...all of them?
[17:38] <Saik> this pc doesn't support 64bit
[17:38] <raylu> j2daosh: you probably meant to ask "what directories _should_ i move to a different partition?"
[17:38] <simran> seezer i downloaded nvclock-gtk but i dont know where it is ???
[17:38] <j2daosh> well my problem is i only have a 3.8 gig disk, and its at 93% full right now after doing an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop/kubuntu-desktop
[17:38] <raylu> Saik: grep lm /proc/cpuinfo
[17:39] <j2daosh> so i added another 4 gig disk and now i just want to know what i can move off the root
[17:39] <scyx> raylu: yeah i guess so. but the official site is usually updated faster than those other sources

[17:39] <Saik> raylu, what good will that do me? I KNOW my cpuinfo
[17:39] <Saik> clint__, yes
[17:39] <raylu> Saik: just tell me if anything comes up
[17:40] <lucas_> raylu, just pure curiosity
[17:40] <seezer> simran: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/nvclock-gtk/filelist check this out
[17:40] <seezer> simran: it's called nvclock_gtk
[17:40] <Saik> raylu, nada
[17:40] <raylu> lucas_: i have no experience with it, good luck :P
[17:40] <simran> seezer: i downloaded it already..it was on synaptics
[17:40] <simran> i dont know how to open it
[17:40] <Bloe> hi ik heb een paar probleemkes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:40] <jairodealmeida> did any people works with Arduino on ubuntu
[17:40] <jairodealmeida> ?
[17:40] <seezer> simran: call "nvclock_gtk"
[17:41] <clint__> be right back
[17:41] <seezer> simran: should be in your menu too. don't know about gnome. i'm here for testing purpuses only ;)
[17:41] <Bloe> ubuntu start niet normaal , ik heb geen geluid , synaptic start niet enz...
[17:41] <Neto_Berola> !nl
[17:42] <simran> seezer: when i type nvclock-gtk into terminal it says command not found
[17:42] <seezer> simran: that's why i'm asking you to type: nvclock_gtk
[17:42] <seezer> not -gtk
[17:43] <simran> coool seezer it works
[17:43] <simran> seezer: do you have an nvidia chipset
[17:43] <seezer> simran: only on my graphics card
[17:43] <usser> how do you hide connect/disconnect messages?
[17:43] <usser> -!- nabila [n=meddy@114.58.86.212] has joined #ubuntu
[17:43] <usser> that for example, how do you hide such messages
[17:44] <simran> seezer do you use a laptopo
[17:44] <grawity> usser: /ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits
[17:44] <seezer> simran: yes i do, but nvclock is only on my desktop
[17:45] <Schmitty> does /root/.bash_history hold shell history for every user or just for root?
[17:45] <grawity> Schmitty: Just for root.
[17:45] <simran> seezer: can nvclock adjust my monitor brightness (not desktop brightness)...because the gnome power brightness applet doenst work on nvidia chipset
[17:45] <Saik> who's having the black screen nvidia bug?
[17:45] <usser> grawity: thank you
[17:45] <seezer> simran: i guess not
[17:46] <Schmitty> grawity: where whould I find the history for another user. I checked /home/user/.bash_history but no file exists
[17:46] <seezer> simran: but i only use the fan adjustment
[17:46] <kannan02> can i downgrade from 9.04 to 8.04LTS??//
[17:46] <raylu> Schmitty: maybe they're using a different shell
[17:46] <raylu> kannan02: no
[17:46] <grawity> Schmitty: Users' history files are in ~/.bash_history in their own homedirs. But if the user does not want to save history, there are at least five ways to clean it.
[17:46] <Schmitty> raylu: But is thing the usual place to find them?
[17:46] <erUSUL> !downgrade | kannan02
[17:47] <raylu> Schmitty: there really is no standard, but bash is the default on ubuntu systems
[17:47] <simran> seezer: where is the option to do that, i dont see it
[17:47] <grawity> Schmitty: For bash, yes, ~/.bash_history is the default -- but user can change it
[17:47] <seezer> simran: in overclocking or something
[17:47] <dehqan> good day everybody ; while removing libxml2 ,many other packages have been removed from system and now system is corrupted ,is there any way to find out names of those packages that have been removed ?
[17:47] <Schmitty> grawity: thanks
[17:47] <Saik> why is the last thing I need to get working always the hardest thing :@
[17:47] <grawity> Schmitty: The user can choose any file for saving history (even /dev/null, for that matter).
[17:47] <grawity> Schmitty: Or he can choose _not_ to save history.
[17:47] <grawity> Schmitty: What are you trying to do, anyway?
[17:48] <sammy> what's up guys
[17:48] <Schmitty> grawity: where would one specify the history area?
[17:48] <Schmitty> grawity: I am trying to look at my own history.
[17:48] <grawity> Schmitty: For example, in ~/.bashrc
[17:48] <Schmitty> grawity: ahh
[17:48] <kannan02> ubottu:if i install 8,04 lts from live cd without formatting the drive. will it remove 9.04 and keep my home directory...
[17:48] <grawity> Schmitty: If HISTFILE is set in ~/.bashrc, then history will be written there.
[17:49] <Saik> raylu, why would todem spi out a permissions error on a DVD?
[17:49] <Saik> spit*
[17:49] <raylu> *totem?
[17:49] <Saik> (that's just what automatically opens)
[17:49] <simran> how can i utilise gnome-smartdimmer into a gui
[17:49] <raylu> i don't know, because i don't use totem
[17:49] <Guest98923> is nexius a good game??
[17:49] <raylu> Schmitty: finger [username]
[17:50] <grawity> Schmitty: If it's your own history, just trythe 'history' command.
[17:50] <raylu> Schmitty: will tell you the user's shell
[17:50] <kannan02> raylu:if i install 8,04 lts from live cd without formatting the drive. will it remove 9.04 and keep my home directory...
[17:50] <Saik> raylu, wel, I popped in advent children, an totem said "you may not have permission"
[17:50] <usser_> Guest98923: hell yea nexuiz is great
[17:50] <googeek> Hey there all
[17:50] <raylu> kannan02: the installer forces you to format the / partition. you can, however, move your /home to a separate partition. i recommend doing this
[17:50] <usser_> Guest98923: download the latest version from their site the version in the repos is a bit dated
[17:51] <MsMaco> raylu: not true
[17:51] <raylu> Saik: i suggest trying with mplayer. also, have you seen the dvd playback factoid from ubottu?
[17:51] <Guest98923> umm if you do an install without reformatting i think it does delete the home directory
[17:51] <hornik> .
[17:51] <MsMaco> raylu: the installer does not require that you format / . if you choose not to format /, your /home directory will be saved
[17:51] <raylu> MsMaco: it was true in 8.04, i believe. the new installer is more lenient
[17:51] <googeek> Anyone willing to walk a noob through planeshift? I got it to install, and made a launcher, like an online tutorial said, but it doesn't do anything on launch
[17:51] <MsMaco> raylu: 8.04 could install without killing home
[17:51] <Saik> raylu, yes, and I tried mplayer too, still don't work
[17:51] <raylu> MsMaco: hm, ok
[17:52] <raylu> Saik: but now you have more debugging output :D
[17:52] <MsMaco> raylu: i think 8.04 was the first to do it
[17:52] <dollarbang1> help, I screwed up my network connection, now I can't get my Ubuntu Workstation onto the internet.
[17:52] <Kalisto_> i have exactly this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1016368 any help?
[17:52] <Saik> raylu,  this is all I have.. vlc: /build/buildd/libdvdnav-4.1.3/src/vm/vm.c:1485: process_command: Assertion `0' failed.
[17:52] <kannan02> MsMaco: will it damage any performance by not formatting
[17:52] <raylu> Saik: that doens't look like mplayer to me :P
[17:53] <mizree> greetings all
[17:53] <MsMaco> kannan02: if stuff's fragmented, not formatting means that fragmentation stays, yeah
[17:53] <googeek> Anybody? help? planeshift installs, but wont do anything on launch
[17:53] <Saik> raylu, well.. how to I run the mplayer gui through terminal
[17:53] <Saik> ?
[17:53] <mizree> i am fairly inexperienced ubuntu and linux user though not new
[17:53] <MsMaco> (and contrary to popular belief, ext3/4 CAN fragment...it just tends not to happen til the disk is really quite full)
[17:53] <raylu> Saik: i don't know, but i'd suggest "mplayer dvd://1"

[17:54] <kannan02> MsMaco:oh thank u so much..
[17:54] <mizree> well, i was trying to be slightly friendly before asking for anyone's help
[17:54] <raylu> googeek: have you tried running planeshift in a shell?
[17:55] <googeek> raylu: no, don't even know how to
[17:55] <nabila> ada gk orang indonesia

[17:55] <lfaraone> Hi, gnome-panel freezes for me after suspend-resume. How do I debug it?
[17:55] <mizree> i have installed the netbook remix and is up and running, spent days trying to get my video  drivers and resolution working... got that done now have killed my terminal
[17:56] <raylu> dollarbang1: i was expecting you to give a little more info about what you did
[17:56] <googeek> mizree : cause I had a hell of a time with my networking
[17:56] <Saik> raylu, that's for commandline, I need the gui
[17:56] <raylu> Saik: ...why?
[17:56] <dollarbang1> googeek/raylu: I 'am the one that screwed up my network connection. I wanted to have a static IP address, but that didn't work, so I tried to change it  back to DHCP. No good either.
[17:56] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: you've killed your terminal?
[17:56] <wontoner> Question: will using a key generated on a different machine cause problems creating a .csr for an SSL cert?
[17:56] <grawity> wontoner: No, it doesn't matter where you generate the key.
[17:57] <raylu> googeek: alt+f2, gnome-terminal, run "planeshift", assuming that's the name of the executable
[17:57] <wontoner> grawity: thanks, thats what I thought
[17:57] <lfaraone> wontoner: I don't see why it would.
[17:57] <wontoner> I just wanted to make sure
[17:57] <googeek> mizree: gimmie just a sec, I think I have an idea
[17:57] <raylu> wontoner: though, it's not a good idea to move private keys around
[17:57] <Saik> raylu, becaus it's not MY pc
[17:57]  * lfaraone waves at grawity.
[17:57] <raylu> Saik: ...so?
[17:57] <googeek> raylu: thanx, I'll try that
[17:57] <mizree> when i open a terminal, whether in my user or in the root, i get a maximized blank screen. i unmaximize and it is still blank. the terminal does work but i cant see any text. i have checked and changed my theme many times and looked all over for a fix or similar issue

[17:58] <lfaraone> staminna: you mean be uninstalled?
[17:58] <raylu> dollarbang1: in networkmanager or /etc/network/interfaces?
[17:58] <pedram_entezar86> ok
[17:59] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: have you tried installing another application for terminal manipulation to see if it's just the default terminal?
[17:59] <Saik> raylu, it's a noob using it
[17:59] <pedram_entezar86> i want install yahoo messenger in ubuntu 9.4
[17:59] <lfaraone> !noob > Saik
[17:59] <linuxson25> Hi everyone
[17:59] <raylu> Saik: get rid of the perception that the gui is in some way 'easier' than a cli

[18:00] <jessen> I've been having problems with radeonhd, mobility x1400 card. My whole system tends to freeze when I run opengl programs. Can anyone help me with my xorg.conf? http://pastebin.org/11979

[18:00] <linuxson25> Got a bit of a log in situation with my desktop pc
[18:00] <raylu> dollarbang1: you mean system > admin > network?
[18:00] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: you could try say konsole or any number of other apps...
[18:00] <mizree> no i have not, i only tried to follow some forum thing which told me to remove dash because most scripts is writen for bash at the same extensionj
[18:00] <raylu> pedram_entezar86: there is no y! messenger for linux. there is pidgin and some others, though
[18:00] <mizree> thanks rangarokangel
[18:01] <googeek> dollarbang: can you get me the output of your etc/network/interfaces file?
[18:01] <linuxson25> Just finished editing my new blog, and when I tried starting up Thunderbird, wouldnt launch, along with any other application
[18:01] <dollarbang1> raylu: nope, is 9.04 different?
[18:01] <Arkns> hi all. I need to alter my username to be the same as I have on windows domain.that username use dots <first_name>.<last_name>. how can I change my username without lost permission, directories, files, programmings, settings...
[18:01] <x1250> my firefox fonts are ugly/different after installing (and uninstalling) kde4. Anyone has a clue on how to fix them?
[18:01] <raylu> dollarbang1: i don't know; i'm not on ubuntu at the moment. i'm not exactly sure what that app does, but could you pastebin /etc/network/interfaces for me?
[18:01] <raylu> Arkns: why?
[18:02] <raylu> Arkns: you can connect to samba/cifs shares without having the same username
[18:02] <linuxson25> Tried logging out, and it just gave a whole lot of jibberish on the screen, and when I tried cli, I couldnt log in
[18:02] <kripso> hi i want to get rid of the boarders expekt the title bar in gnome/Metacity i found this tweak is it safe? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990720
[18:02] <Saik> raylu, well, idk what you or I did, but they're working now
[18:02] <mizree>  thanks rangarokangel.. it may be some other packages or something i did, but i cant finds it and is hard to do much when you cant read a terminal
[18:02] <linuxson25> As soon as I type in my username, it just resets, and asks for it again
[18:02] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: it's a hacky fix, but it should serve your purposes...
[18:03] <Arkns> raylu: acctually I will follow this tutorial that make simple to log in on windows domain: http://www.diegolima.org/wordpress/?p=106 - it's use likewise-open
[18:03] <mizree> thanks muchly
[18:03] <linuxson25> Rebooted the pc, and now when I try cli, it gives me a whole lot of EXT3-fs inode read errors
[18:03] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: you are welcome
[18:03] <raylu> Arkns: no experience with that, sorry
[18:03] <linuxson25> Why is that?
[18:03] <kripso> linuxson25: you can boot to root without enter any usernamne/password and then reset your username/password if you have no encryption on
[18:03] <pedram_entezar86> i want install yahoo massenger , where is the soft ?
[18:04] <Arkns> raylu: no problem. any ideas how to change my username safelly?
[18:04] <raylu> kripso: i don't think that's the issue...
[18:04] <dollarbang1> raylu: that would  be too hard, I'm using a windows laptop, and Ubuntu Desktop. The content of /etc/network/interfaces has "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback"
[18:04] <hlfshell> Afternoon all! I am trying to remember the command to find my IP address so I can allow a friend to SSH into my system. Anyone know how to find this out in terminal?
[18:04] <raylu> linuxson25: i'd suggest putting in a livecd and fsck-ing your partition
[18:04] <googeek> dollarbang: is that all there is? nothing else?
[18:04] <RagnarokAngel> pedram_entezar86: pidgin is included by default for instant messaging. It supports the yahoo protocol
[18:04] <dcosta> hey all
[18:04] <linuxson25> kripso: But why would it be doing this in the first place? When I try and launch out of cli back to log on screen, I just get text
[18:04] <Arkns> raylu: I know that if I alter passwd, shadow and groups, it works. but it seems to loose (some files) permission...
[18:04] <raylu> Arkns: nope, sorry. i doubt simply modifying /etc/passwd is sufficient
[18:04] <Saik> raylu, thanks alotfor your help. (and by the way, just because it may not be "easier" doesn't mane I want to sit with the person for 24hours a dy showing them how to ru everything
[18:05] <pedram_entezar86> i know but i cant use ?
[18:05] <raylu> Saik: perhaps that's your problem, then
[18:05] <Saik> raylu, I had enough of that on windows XP
 my synaptic package manager and deluge, also do the same and it happened at the same time. i cant see anything but a blank white box
[18:05] <linuxson25> raylu: What does fsck do?
[18:05] <raylu> linuxson25: filesystem check
[18:05] <Saik> raylu, let me reiterte, it's not my omputer
[18:05] <Arkns> what files gnome use to include a new user login?
[18:05] <linuxson25> raylu: Hmmmm....okay, will try this
[18:05] <livingdaylight> Hallo Ubunteros
[18:05] <linuxson25> raylu: Thanx
[18:05] <livingdaylight> I am looking for a guru
[18:06] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: hmm... That's really weird... for deluge have you tried to reinstall it?
[18:06] <raylu> Saik: yes, but your problem may be that you've babysat the user
[18:06] <raylu> Saik: and so he/she expects it
[18:06]  * mizree chuckles im a mizree guru.....
[18:06] <googeek> livingdaylight: you'll probably have more luck, if you just ask your question
[18:06] <Saik> !ask | livingdaylight
[18:06] <Saik> raylu, kinda hard not towhen it's my mother
[18:07] <livingdaylight> http://pastebin.com/f63bf5c3a this is the pastebin of /var/log/Xorg.0.log i can't get my 26" lcd tv to work from laptop as i used to
[18:07] <raylu> Saik: it's hard to now only because of the perception of computers you've given her
[18:07] <grampaj0e> Can anyone make sense of the error message "GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_type_find_register: assertion `func != NULL' failed"?
 yes i tried to reinstall deluge, and bash actually, then dash... through ppa since my package manager wont show me anything
[18:07] <livingdaylight> googeek: yes, but i need a guru specializing in Display issues
 either as user or root
[18:07] <livingdaylight> Saik: are you a display guru?
[18:07] <Saik> raylu, she ga herself the bravix trojan, and a nastyvariant of it :@
[18:08] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: that's really, really odd. What were you doing when it blanked?
[18:08] <Saik> livingdaylight, just ask..
[18:08] <nabila> ada orang indonesia gk
[18:08] <livingdaylight> Saik: i did
[18:08] <ctford> hlfshell: try 'ifconfig'
[18:08] <j2daosh> what is the console command to find all installed packages?
[18:08] <Saik> livingdaylight, what is your problem? you haven't said that
[18:08] <Tr1n_> livingdaylight:  say what the problem is, what you have done to try and fix it, and what errors are you getting?
[18:08] <RolaBlade> Hi... How do I open serial port in xubuntu. I am trying bluetooth programming with python
[18:08] <j2daosh> i cant get my disk to resize so i need to remove excess packages i wont need, anything audio or video
[18:08] <mizree> hmmm, i got everything working then went looking for toys. i didnt exactly do one thing at a time so im not sure the culprit.
[18:09] <livingdaylight> Saik: yes, i did. shame you didn't read what i wrote
[18:09] <x1250> j2daosh, aptitude search ~i -F"%p"
[18:09] <Saik> livingdaylight, then repeat it, I had my own probles to sort
 im too knew a linux user to track what i did wrong after i got my display to a useable resolution
 took days
[18:10] <hlfshell> ctford -  that is what i used, but i cant seem to see any ip address there. where should i be looking when using the ifconfig command?
[18:10] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: ah, and you probably don't want to go through the hassle of a fresh install, correct?
[18:10] <googeek> raylu: tried the shell, my mouse went a little haywire for a minute, but thats it
[18:10] <livingdaylight> TriMe: i used to be able to attach samsung lcd tv to my laptop (26" for watching movies) but since i played with the display function in system/preference it now no longer works. I get as far as login page, but after i enter name and password tv goes black.
[18:10] <raylu> googeek: no output?
[18:10] <mbeierl> Saik: I am having nvidia black screen bug :)
[18:11] <Saik> mbeierl, you use the ubuntu repo?
[18:11] <googeek> raylu: this is the tutorial i used: http://gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:planeshift
[18:11] <RagnarokAngel> livingdaylight: you could run sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reset your xorg and it MAY work agian, it got me running again...
[18:11] <livingdaylight> Saik: http://pastebin.com/f63bf5c3a this is /var/log/Xorg output if it helps
 i would rather avoid it since im not sure how i got my display working after days of searching, it just started working. i was messing with ways to randomly rotate the desktop background when things went cwazy.
[18:11] <Saik> livingdaylight, I'm ot good with tvout problems
[18:11] <livingdaylight> RagnarokAngel: don'st i need /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[18:12] <mbeierl> Saik:  The nvidia driver?  No - the restricted drivers thing kept hanging on me.  But I've used the latest stable, the latest beta, legacy, too many versions to mention - all to no avail
[18:12] <googeek> raylu: nope, unless I'm not doing it correctly
[18:12] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: is this a netbook you're running on? because you could just xrandr it to correctly display...
[18:12] <HobbleAlong> j2daosh: sudo dpkg --get-selections (> filename  if you want a file)
[18:12] <RagnarokAngel> livingdaylight: if you RM it, it recreates the file from scratch.
[18:12] <Saik> mbeierl, whay GPU?
[18:12] <livingdaylight> Saik: that is why i said i need display/tvout guru
[18:12] <RagnarokAngel> livingdaylight: when you reboot
 i did solve the backgrounds rotating though, i just used a screensaver to do it instead. sad workaround huh...
[18:12] <livingdaylight> RagnarokAngel: cool, i try!
[18:12] <mbeierl> Saik: I /think/ I might have come up with the workaround though...
[18:12] <mbeierl> Saik: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)
[18:12] <rocky_> bbl
[18:12] <livingdaylight> Saik: what is your area of expertise?
 is not a netbook, i just used that install since i had a flash drive handy and no cd's
[18:13] <mbeierl> Saik: in compiz config, under workarounds there is the Force sync between X and GLX and that seems to help with windows that are not being updated
[18:13] <swayric> linux partitioners do not read partition table while windows reads it fine. I've run testdisk to rewrite it but linux still can't detect any partitions. help?
[18:13] <mbeierl> Saik: still waiting on the black window bug...
[18:13] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: oh, well, if you want to go ahead and do a full installation you can unetbootin a full install onto a usb key
[18:13] <tomek> hi everyone
 then tried to add the packages i wanted. worked ok till i broke something
[18:13] <Saik> mbeierl, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_185.18.36.html
[18:14] <mbeierl> Saik: 64 bit :)
[18:14] <tomek> I have some troubles with getting wireles to work after last update
[18:14] <dotblank> swayric, what partition is it?
[18:14] <Saik> mbeierl, my bad, sorry
[18:14] <googeek> tomek: like what?
[18:14] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: yeah, the UNR is really designed for netbooks, allegedly there's a way to move it to a full installation, but I don't know how...
 schweeeeeet, can you tells me how please? i would much rather the desktop install options
[18:14] <tomek> in hardware drivers nothing is listed
[18:14] <googeek> tomek.....hmmmmm
[18:14] <Saik> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.36.html
[18:14] <mbeierl> Saik: I have not tried 36 yet.  Last 185 I tried was 185.18.41
[18:14] <kad_> hey need help! i install kernel 2.6-30 and i was having before 2.8.14 kernel ! but when i update , it give me with update the old 2.8.14 i went to /etc/apt/sources.lst which one of deb-src or deb i remove to not allow apt-get update gather information about the kernel? thx
[18:14] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: sure -- you're going to want to grab unetbootin -- sudo apt-get install unetbootin
 i gots no workable burner right now so was just trying to be back online since this is a business pc
[18:15] <staminna> ifaraone: It's not on the run application or menu items.. apt-get install opera : Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[18:15] <staminna> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package opera has no installation candidate
[18:15] <tomek> and it doesn give me an option to connect throu wireles
[18:15] <googeek> tomek: I  had a problem with mine, I'm not too experienced, but if you want to give me a pastbin of your etc/network/interfaces file, I might be able to help
[18:15] <Saik> mbeierl, you install in root?
[18:15] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: and then you're going to want to get the standard .iso of ubuntu, or any flavor that you prefer really
 really preciates yer time
[18:16] <mbeierl> Saik: as root, yes.  gdm stop, unload nvidia module, install from VT 1...
[18:16] <ctford> hlfshell: You should see a bunch of information after each interface. If you're using a regular ethernet connection look for "eth0". Then look for a line that starts inet addr:
[18:16] <Arkns> how do I remove the passwd of user root ( I give in my way of changing my real login...)
[18:16] <tomek> what exactly is pastbin, googeek?
[18:16] <Saik> mbeierl, do it from "safe mode"
[18:16] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: no prob, I found unetbootin to be one of the tools that I can't have an installation without!
[18:16] <ctford> another option for finding out your ip address is to go to a site like http://linux-ip.net/html/basic-changing.html
[18:16] <dotblank> !paste
[18:16] <googeek> tomek: a pasting tool
[18:16] <ctford> hlfshell: sorry, http://whatismyipaddress.com/
[18:16] <mbeierl> Saik: usually the nvidia installer wants all X servers stopped, so I do the install right from the vt
[18:17] <tomek> ok
[18:17] <hlfshell> thanks for the help ctford :-)
[18:17] <tomek> i know now
[18:17] <swayric> dotblank: My 500G drive is split into 2 partitions, 1 NTFS and 1 FAT32. Both are visible/detected by winXP. Partitioners in linux do not detect them.\
[18:17] <tomek> just a sec
[18:17] <googeek> tomek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[18:17] <kannan01> MsMaco:when installing 8.04 what user name and password should i give. the 9.04 username or new one..
 well i think i can follow that part. i was wanting to do that earlier but couldnt find a way to use the iso file on my stick
[18:18] <dotblank> swayric, can you pastebin "cat /proc/partitions"
[18:18] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: yeah, which is where unetbootin steps in it creates a bootable image on your usb drive from an iso
[18:18] <jmz> hey
[18:18] <jmz> im on ubuntu 8.04 and it never shows updates
[18:18] <swayric> dotblank: It is in linux as if the hard drive itself does not exist. not even /dev/sda shows up; fdisk, installer, gparted return an empty box as if no hard drives are connected to my system.
[18:18] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: unetbootin doesn't support *everything* but just about anything that isn't waaaay out in left field architecturally.
[18:19] <jmz> it just says system is up to date, even though theres obviously a new ubuntu version
 much appreciated, who knows how many days of forum hopping you just saved me.
[18:19] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: Good to hear that I can help out
[18:19] <CopyWriter> hello hello
[18:19] <tomek> googeek, http://paste.ubuntu.com/259382/
[18:19] <tomek> it has just two lines
[18:19] <Saik> mbeierl, well, try n recovery, if that don't work I don't know what to do.I have to run
 is responses like yours which have made me willing to go through the learning curve to switch from  MS
[18:19] <dotblank> swayric, can you type "watch "dmesg | tail"" and unplug the drive and plug it back in
[18:19] <jasl> hi any girl funny
[18:19] <clint__> JMZ: you try to upgrade to the latest ubuntu version 9.04
[18:19] <__theIdiotBox> hello everyone
[18:20] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: now if only I could get someone who knew the solution to my problems XD
[18:20] <mbeierl> Saik: thanks!
[18:20] <dotblank> swayric, it should come up withs ome events
 chuckles
[18:20] <kannan01> raylu:when installing 8.04 what user name and password should i give. the 9.04 username or new one..
[18:20] <Saik> mbeierl, np
[18:20] <kad_> hey need help! i install kernel 2.6-30 and i was having before 2.8.14 kernel ! but when i update , it give me with update the old 2.8.14 i went to /etc/apt/sources.lst which one of deb-src or deb i remove to not allow apt-get update gather information about the kernel? thx
[18:20] <jmz> clint_: this pc hasnt been on for like months so its impossible to not have updates
[18:20] <jmz> yet it insists there arent any
[18:20] <googeek> tomek: as far as I know, that's exactly how it should look. I had to comment out some lines on mine after those two
 now gotta try apt-get with no text and hope works...lol
[18:21] <swayric> dotblank: cant get wireless working; give me a moment while I bridge ethernet to it and reboot into a liveCD to do the command
[18:21] <googeek> tomek: does your internet work if you boot from the cd
[18:21] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: yeah, the tools are there, just takes either a skilled hand at google, a bit of command line bruteforce, and a whole lot of being willing to keep going
[18:21] <raylu> kannan01: shouldn't matter
[18:21] <linuxson25> Tried fsck.ext3 -p hda0 : says superblock could not be read, or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem???
[18:21] <__theIdiotBox> kad_, can you be more specific? what exactly is the problem with the new kernel?
[18:21] <tomek> well, i haven' triedt
[18:21] <Saik> mbeierl, best of luck to ya
[18:21] <kannan01> raylu:any username right..
[18:21] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: or being in the right channel at the right time ;-)
 i gota all of those, so now is only matter of time and processing power... pc has more than me i thinks
[18:22] <kad_> __theIdiotBox,  nothing just i want to disable update for the old kernel from apt !
[18:22] <tomek> but is it really a thing to try, googeek
[18:22] <mbeierl> Saik: thanks!
[18:22] <lfl> Hi, I'm trying to install mplayer-pulse, but I get this error message at the end http://paste.ubuntu.com/259383/ what do I do?
[18:22] <clint__> JMZ: do a quick aptitude update then aptitude upgrade from the terminal
[18:22] <silvering> hey, how about enable read/write for ext* in windows, anyone ?
[18:22] <googeek> tomek: when I had my issue, it booted from cd perfect. But, the install didn't work
[18:22] <Myrtti> silvering: there is a driver for it
[18:23] <silvering> i`m using ext4
[18:23] <jmz> clint_: i changed a few options in software sources and now it picks up updates
[18:23] <__theIdiotBox> kad_, i think once you have a new kernel all new updates will be related to that only, right? better you get rid of the old kernel
[18:23] <Myrtti> silvering: good luck.
[18:23] <j2daosh> can someone PM me the lines in their sources.list for backports, restricted, and mutliverse?
[18:23] <beckM> Hallo,  spricht hier auch jemand deutsch?
[18:23] <silvering> yes.. i tried with the driver for ext3, doesnt work
[18:23] <swayric> dotblank: I'll try the "watch "dmsg | tail"", though this drive is physically mounted in my PC. Unplug sata while in livecd, perhaps?
[18:23] <tomek> googeek: and did this helped you to get it working after install?
[18:23] <kad_> __theIdiotBox,  no update from new kernel! all update from old kernel and i remove it but still updates come
 hmmm, how do i know if succeeded in getting unetbootin? i cant read anything in terminal
[18:24] <RagnarokAngel> Does anyone know why audio in mplayer/rhythmbox/firefox/system would work just fine, but would fail in banshee (I could go without the mono hate)
[18:24] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: you should be able to open up unetbootin... uhm in the UNR I'm not sure which tab it would go into...
[18:24] <diamantino> hallo
[18:24] <dotblank> swayric, yea you can do that sata is hotswapable
[18:24] <__theIdiotBox> RagnarokAngel, which version of Ubuntu?
[18:25] <Brian__> ijust installed ubiquity and im really impressed
[18:25] <Brian__>  
[18:25] <RagnarokAngel> __theIdiotBox: I'm running the Karmic daily.
[18:25] <swayric> dotblank: it just seems a bit dangerous unmounting a HD which is configured for windows performance (data is not all saved on drive)
[18:25] <raylu> mizree: generally, those brackets mean you're quoting someone
[18:25] <linuxson25> Tried fsck.ext3 -p hda0 : says superblock could not be read, or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem???
[18:25] <__theIdiotBox> RagnarokAngel, okkey....
[18:25] <dotblank> swayric, what do you mean windows performance?
[18:25] <googeek> tomek: well, I couldn't use the net without swtiching back to cd. I used the cd boot to get the info I needed about commenting out the lines and such. You could also compare the files, to see if maybe there is another line neccesary that is there on boot or something.....Something about the first updates would ruin my connection, to the point where my wireless didn't even show up as on option, it just said "device no
[18:25] <phil__> I'm having problems building vlc from 1.0.1.. anyone had the same problem? I have 9.04 installed
[18:25] <raylu> linuxson25: are you sure it's an ext filesystem? what does fdisk -l say?
[18:25] <dotblank> swayric, if your doing some time of software raid that changes everything
[18:25] <RagnarokAngel> __theIdiotBox: it's the only version that I could get my headphone jack to work in... And I'll help bugtest.
[18:26] <RagnarokAngel> phil__: have you tried just using the VLC PPA?
[18:26] <diamantino> people i need help i wont install ybuntu 9.04 on my notebook but now i understand thats inside it all from VIA -mb core vedeo lan. So is this system will work without problems with ubuntu,
[18:26] <mizree> RagnarokAngel - sorry, was trying to reply to you individually
[18:26] <tomek> ok
[18:26] <linuxson25> raylu: Doesnt say anything
[18:26] <__theIdiotBox> kad_, i dont think a particular deb is supported by only one kernel,,,,in that case the updates for the old kernel applies to the new kernel as well, unless you've done a sys Upgrade
[18:26] <googeek> tomek: and being that yours did work, and now doesn't I'm guessing its the same issue, just different lines missing/ not cooperating
[18:27] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: it's fine, I'm not exactly all up on the nuances of irc... but just typing ragn and then tab should fill in my username
[18:27] <tomek> ok
[18:27] <lfl> I get this error when installing mplayer-pulse, can someone help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/259383/
[18:27] <phil__> what is VLC PPA? Is it for developing aswell? I'm going to write a plug-in
[18:27] <tomek> thanks
[18:27] <swayric> dotblank: nvm, thats from when I formatted a new 750G in FAT32 last night, winXP gives options to allow for prompting to unplug or no prompting
[18:27] <googeek> tomek: np, I hope that helps, if at all
[18:27] <RagnarokAngel> phil__: PPAs are generally for devs, yes
[18:28] <__theIdiotBox> phil__, couldn't search in launchpad?
[18:28] <swayric> this drive is my main drive, though. unplugging it while booted into liveCD won't hurt anything?
[18:28] <guntbert> !ppa | phil__
[18:28] <swayric> dotblank: --on a ntfs fs mounted in linux being forcably unplugged
[18:28] <googeek> anyone know why my planeshift wont launch?
[18:28] <mizree> RagnarokAngel, heheh, im learning... went to the ppa for untebootin instead, so i can see what im doing. thanks again. now i have a better path
[18:28] <phil__> RagnarokAngel: sweet, thx, I'll try it out. Yeah I googled for it but didn't get the idea of it directly
[18:28] <__theIdiotBox> googeek, can you be more specific
[18:29] <dotblank> swayric, if it isnt mounted and you run sync before uinplugging it should be fine
[18:29] <linuxson25> raylu: OH....when trying to browse the drive now, it gives a connot mount error: wrong fs type, bad superblock
[18:29] <swayric> dotblank, "sync" ?
[18:29] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: I hope that you can get unetbootin started up, it will be smooth sailing from there on out
[18:29] <dotblank> !sync
[18:29] <googeek> _theIdiotBox: yep, I sure can. I installed, via a tutorial online, did the install, update install( at least i think i did this right, not too sure) and made the launchers. And, when I launch it, it does a whole lot of nothing
[18:30] <swayric> --me neither, ubottu
[18:30] <__theIdiotBox> googeek, any error message? or nothing at all?
[18:30] <linuxson25> raylu: this bad?
[18:30] <kad_> __theIdiotBox, i didn't do system upgrade
[18:30] <googeek> _theIdiotBox: absolutely nada
[18:31] <dotblank> swayric, its a command that finishes all io to disks or rather waits for all io to disks to finish
[18:31] <mizree> RagnarokAngel, well now i got same prollem with the add sources dialog, nothing but blank white screen
[18:31] <raylu> linuxson25: can you pastebin the output of "fdisk -l" and "gparted -l"? perhaps you got no output because you didn't run it as root
[18:31] <__theIdiotBox> kad_, in that case the old deb/pkgs applies to your new kernel as well...if you still think something is wrong be specific, give me some particular example
[18:31] <mizree> cant even dl the source packages. hmmmm
[18:31] <kripso> 'There was an error installing the selected file: "metacity-theme-1.xml" does not appear to be a valid theme.".
[18:31] <kripso> ?
[18:31] <kripso> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990720
[18:31] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: hmmmmmm, do you have another terminal installed to see if we can just run through that?
[18:32] <kad_> __theIdiotBox, ok when i do sudo apt-get update! it give me the update of the old kernel not the new kernel! why ?
[18:32] <linuxson25> raylu: Ok...didnt do that....lol
[18:32] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: try opening up a new terminal and then running sudo apt-get install konsole
[18:32] <RagnarokAngel> then of course put in your password
[18:32] <RagnarokAngel> and it *should* install
[18:32] <RagnarokAngel> or
[18:32] <RagnarokAngel> if unetbootin is already there w/out the ppa
[18:32] <grawity> kripso: It only accepts packed .tar.gz themes
[18:32] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: just open a new terminal and run the command unetbootin and see if anything comes up... I kno wyou have no video...
[18:33] <nikolaj_basher> Can anyone help me, what language would you choose to learn if you should use it to make programs for ubuntu C or C++??
[18:33] <linuxson25> raylu: and on gparted gives an I/O error
[18:33] <mizree> same happens on the password authentication screen. just blank white
[18:33] <jiohdi> how do I change directory to sda3?
[18:33] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: you are just not having good luck today!
[18:33] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, depends on the apps you're trying to build
[18:33] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: your terminal still works, just blanked right?
[18:33] <danfg> can anyone tell me what is the usual run order of gdm/kdm in ubuntu? is it S90 K10?
[18:34] <mizree> i got the unetbootin installed tho, so day may get better
[18:34] <__theIdiotBox> jiohdi, you need to cd to the correspoding mount poiint
[18:34] <rickspencer3_> op
[18:34] <rickspencer3_> aaah, xchat
[18:34] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: excellent! just open up unetbootin and we should be home free
[18:34] <linuxson25> raylu: gives the info with fdisk -l. Can see the Linux prts, and swap
[18:34] <jiohdi> __theIdiotBox: where do I find the mount point?
[18:34] <mizree> it opens... whoooohooooo. now gotta dl the source iso rq
[18:34] <clint__> Much of the Linux program for Ubuntu are C and some are C++
[18:35] <nikolaj_basher> __theIdiotBox, network programs and staff programs.. I know I have a big vision:D
[18:35] <HobbleAlong> nikolaj_basher: Go for C.  C++ is a superset and object oriented,  so you need to know C anyway.
[18:35] <raylu> linuxson25: prts?
[18:35] <__theIdiotBox> jiohdi, sudo fdisk -l , should give you that idea on mount point
[18:35] <googeek> _theIdiotBox: http://gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:planeshift     this is the guide I used
[18:35] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, thats better,,,,i guess it should be C...
[18:36] <kripso> grawity: how do i get rid of that board ive tryed so hard know changing the configure and everything it should work see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990720 (#2) if you would like to help me..
[18:36] <nikolaj_basher> HobbleAlong, I know i little bit of C. Will you stille not take c++
[18:36] <__theIdiotBox> jiohdi, even df can do that if thats already mounted..or use the last command
[18:36] <nikolaj_basher> __theIdiotBox,  can you program C?
[18:37] <raylu> __theIdiotBox, jiohdi: fdisk won't give you the mountpoint, but mount will
[18:37] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, what you mean by that?
[18:37] <mizree> now hopefully i wont have the same issues i had with the netbook release i tried to use for desktop...
[18:37] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: you *shouldn't*, only time will tell
[18:38] <__theIdiotBox> raylu, yeh mount wil tell you that...df can work as well...
[18:38] <j2daosh> how can i remove a bunch of packages at once?
[18:38] <j2daosh> like gstreamer0.10-*
[18:38] <j2daosh> i want to get rid of all of them without having to type out each one
[18:38] <RagnarokAngel> j2 sudo apt-get remove gstreamer0.10-* should work
[18:38] <danfg> j2daosh: list them all on aptitude or apt-get, or select them all on synaptic
[18:39] <RagnarokAngel> j2daosh: I know that sudo apt-get install bluez-* installed everything bluez...
[18:39] <mizree> even though we found a way to fix this by reinstalling, im curious what went wrong, since most everything still worked and fairly well
[18:39] <nikolaj_basher> __theIdiotBox,  sorry my bad english... Do you know how too make programs i C
[18:39] <RagnarokAngel> j2daosh: so I don't see why the same functionality would exist for apt-get remove gstreamer-*
[18:39] <HobbleAlong> nikolaj_basher: Get to know C well, most things you can do in C++ you can do in C as well.  To use C++ properly takes a bit of a different mind set.
[18:39] <j2daosh> ok thats what i was looking for
[18:39] <j2daosh> lol i should have just tried it instead of asking
[18:39] <j2daosh> :P
[18:39] <RagnarokAngel> j2daosh: lol
[18:40] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, what prog language you are most comfortable with?
[18:40] <phil__> RagnarokAngel: About VLC again.. I don't really get how this will help me any differently from downloading the source and the libs?
[18:40] <knoxy> Hi all.. I've a dedicated webserver in Brazil to provide one site with 15.000 unique visitors per day. My answer is: What the recommended hardware to host this site to get a very good performance? The site have a photos and a optimized php engine with MySQL Server. I need to change my hardware to save money. Today to get a very good performance, I need to pay a advanced hardware because the datacenter uses the default packages of Ubuntu Linux. I'm using U
[18:40] <knoxy> buntu server 9.04, php 5.2.6-3, MySQL 5.0 e apache 2.2.11.
[18:40] <kad_> __theIdiotBox,  so any help ?
[18:40] <mizree> i wouldnt slam the netbook release even though i broke it, the thing did work even though i was using it for something beyond its intentions
[18:41] <j2daosh> yeah, there we go, im burning through the removes now :)
[18:41] <__theIdiotBox> kad_, could not get your prob properly
[18:41] <RagnarokAngel> phil__: you won't have to build it yourself. It's just a simple streamline, and adding the PPA will keep you up to date usually
[18:41] <kad_> __theIdiotBox, ok when i do sudo apt-get update! it give me the update of the old kernel not the new kernel! why ?
[18:41] <kad_> __theIdiotBox,  hrm ok thx
[18:42] <__theIdiotBox> kad_, fine...welcome
[18:42] <nikolaj_basher> __theIdiotBox, none of them I have made small programs in C and C++ so I need to those, I just think it's smart that c++ is object orrintated
[18:42] <j2daosh> kad, do you have old sources listed in your sources.list file?
[18:42] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, to know C++ first you need to learn C...C++ is superset of C
[18:43] <kripso> awsome
[18:43] <kripso> :D
[18:43] <RagnarokAngel> phil__: the biggest difference is that if VLC updates to another version, you should get it via the ppa without rebuilding from source
[18:43] <nikolaj_basher> HobbleAlong, Thanks I will look a C
[18:43] <nikolaj_basher> __theIdiotBox, thanks for your advise I go for C
[18:43] <phil__> RagnarokAngel: Ah right.. many questions now hehe, so how do I actually use it? And more importantly.. can I mess around with my plug-ins without having to rebuild it all?
[18:43] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, you're welcome....
[18:44] <kripso> hi when i alt + left mouse klick and movement i move the window (like this window) i want it to rezise if i ctrl and left mouse klick, is that possible in Metacity/gnome?
[18:44] <j2daosh> !nessus
[18:44] <grawity> kripso: How about Alt+RightClick?
[18:45] <kripso> grawity: that will also do it
[18:45] <RagnarokAngel> phil__: you just add the PPA to your sources, which you can find the instructions for on launchpad or official ubuntu documentation. And I thought the point of plugins was that you could add/mess with them without having to rebuild from source?
[18:45] <j2daosh> is there a non-gui security scanner?
[18:45] <nikolaj_basher> __theIdiotBox, do you know a great compiler for C to gnome?
[18:45] <kripso> grawity: thats even better
[18:45] <kripso> grawity: is it possible though?
[18:45] <HobbleAlong> nikolaj_basher: It doesn't hurt to look at them both, but I think you will find C++ a tough go if you don't have a good grasp of C first.
[18:45] <grawity> kripso: I don't remember if it's Alt-RightClick or Alt-MiddleClick, but it's enabled by default.
[18:45] <grawity> kripso: Alt-MiddleClick, I think.
[18:45] <Wasser> hi people. i have the following problem: i hibernated my computer and now it doesnt boot. what can i do? it just stays in a blank screen after grub
[18:45] <phil__> RagnarokAngel: As you can notice, I'm fairly new to this. Thanks for answering my questions! I'll google a bit now and leve you be :)
[18:46] <kripso> grawity: nice thats a fix 9.04
[18:46] <RagnarokAngel> phil__ no problem
[18:46] <nikolaj_basher> HobbleAlong, I think you are right.. Do you know a good compiler for C
[18:46] <nikolaj_basher> HobbleAlong, I use gnome
[18:46] <grawity> kripso: You can open gconf-editor and go to /apps/metacity/general/ - there are a couple of settings
[18:46] <kripso> thanks
[18:46] <Berzerker> HobbleAlong, I found C++ was easier than C. It was easier to get the code to do what you want.
[18:46] <kripso> that mittle button on my laptop mouse isnt so nice.
[18:46] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, i dint get your Qs...if you're just looking for a compiler in linux ..use the default one...gcc...the commandline compiler...its available with your base linux
[18:47] <grawity> kripso: /apps/metacity/general/resize_with_right_button - you can switch it.
[18:47] <kripso> grawity: sweet.
[18:47] <grawity> kripso: Also, there's a nice option /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager
[18:47] <ingenioushax> Hey I have a few questions about Xbuntu 9.04
[18:47] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, try this: gcc --v ..if you see the version number then its working fine
[18:48] <rsk> ingenioushax: go ahaed.
[18:48] <j2daosh> does this line: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse: mean that i have the restricted, universe, and multiverse repos enabled?
[18:48] <ingenioushax> Every time I start my computer, all the windows are messed up, and none contain the "X" and maximize and such, so I have to use "xfwm4 --replace" every time.
[18:49] <__theIdiotBox> ingenioushax, whats the Q?
[18:49] <kripso> grawity: what's composting_manager?
[18:49] <nikolaj_basher> __theIdiotBox, I have gcc and i works. But i like a text-editor wiht buildin compiler, can i find that
[18:49] <genii> ingenioushax: There is also the channel #xubuntu where they give support for that version :)
[18:49] <HobbleAlong> nikolaj_basher: Install GCC from the repositories.  That's the GNU Compiler Collection.  Get any documentation you can find while you're at it. Also look at http://www.bellevuelinux.org/create_c1.html for an introduction.
[18:49] <ingenioushax> And when I start the terminal session I get two windows, if I close one, the other one closes...
[18:50] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, i use gcc/g++ only...but definitely yes...you can get one...but you have to google it....let me try that as well
[18:50] <nikolaj_basher> HobbleAlong, I do that thank you for taking time
[18:51] <nikolaj_basher> __theIdiotBox, Tanks good advise you gave me
[18:51] <nikolaj_basher> :D have a nice evening
[18:51] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, you're welcome dude
[18:51] <grawity> kripso: It makes Metacity use compositing: draw every window separately, then compose them into one big picture. (Kinda like Compiz, but without any effects.) Sometimes this makes things faster -- sometimes slower.
[18:53] <kripso> smoother
[18:54] <ingenioushax> Anyone have any idea about these issues?
[18:54] <GPL> i would like to know, of a dock applet, which can be docked or snapped in the top, not in the bottom ?
[18:54] <__theIdiotBox> nikolaj_basher, you might be preety comfortable with some text-editors with inbuilt compilers...but i'ld suggest the best editor in linux is vi/emacs...use them and if you want you can put key-bindings to do compilation without going to command line...i'm saying all this as ultimately for any serious prog you've to use commandline anyway
[18:55] <mizree> fu** i cannot open unetbootin either.. i get a white screen where it is half opened but see nothing
[18:55] <kripso> i have only 2 'screens' if ctrl+alt left right arrow i would like more
[18:55] <RagnarokAngel> mizree: hmm, that really isn't good.

[18:59] <tech_help> how to find out ubuntu version from the command line?
[18:59] <RagnarokAngel> phil__:  you're a bit above my level of PPA usage... It should all be listed in the main documentation for adding PPAs to ubuntu though
[18:59] <grawity> tech_help: lsb_release -a ?
[19:00] <xang> tech_help: cat /etc/lsb-release
[19:00] <celthunder> tech_help, cat /etc/issue
[19:00] <phil__> RagnarokAngel: Thanks, I'll try that aswell :) You're awesome
[19:00] <lucybigtits> hey
[19:01] <philthno2> holy_, but I can ping them and for example I wanted to download a file in a htaccess protected folder, Firefox shows the authorization dialog
[19:01] <kripso> grawity: i have only 2 workspaces (deafult) to activate workspace i enter a string? 0 = disabled 1 = enabled?
[19:02] <__theIdiotBox> Kapli, buddy i dont get any idea on your prob...still googling to get some information
[19:02] <grawity> kripso: In num_workspaces?
[19:02] <HobbleAlong> nikolaj_basher: You could try Anjuta - look at Applications->Add/remove->Programming.
[19:02] <kripso> grawity: yes i didnt find any other?
[19:02] <Kapli> i tried googling but didnt find anything useful :P
[19:02] <lucybigtits> i have downloaded ubuntu but i cant find the start button can someone help me?
[19:02] <grawity> kripso: /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces -- enter the number of how many you want.
[19:02] <grawity> kripso: If you want 4, set num_workspaces to 4, and so on.
[19:02] <Kapli> i mean it works fine now so, but ye if it happens again i guess i just have to restart a few times lol
[19:02] <__theIdiotBox> Kapli, same here :-(
[19:02] <kripso> grawity: ooh sorry im tired i do work for a livin.
[19:03] <kripso> :)
[19:03] <lucybigtits> hey
[19:03] <lucybigtits> can someone help me?
[19:03] <__theIdiotBox> Kapli, but m pretty sure ...ppl must 've face the same prob earlier and yes there must be someway out to fix that...google putting your hardware details
[19:03] <holy_> philthno2: I don't know... you can ask such questions at '#ubuntu-offtopic' -- but not just right after the joining a channel; first, ask what they think about the modern internet, and then carefully ask it.
[19:03] <KungFuJesus> what's the ideal way to PXE ubuntu generically?
[19:03] <kripso> grawity: how do i get raws? so i can go up and down ? is that a compiz thing?
[19:03] <KungFuJesus> genericly*
[19:04] <__theIdiotBox> lucybigtits, whats the prob?
[19:04] <lucybigtits> ive downloaded ubuntu but i cant find the start button.
[19:04] <KungFuJesus> I want to make a PXE boot image, and I've found like 8 different ways.  For example, what's contained in the /netboot subdir found on the mirrors?
[19:04] <lucybigtits> and it wont let me install office
[19:04] <holy_> philthno2: Your best friend at that offtopic channel can be, for example, bazhang.
[19:05] <simran> anyone here use mplayer-mt
[19:05] <simran> ?
[19:05] <GPL> lucybigtits: it's at the top left, (i think) , and OpenOffice is installed by default i guess
[19:05] <__theIdiotBox> lucybigtits, you mean you installed it right? then click on "Application" with that ubuntu circle
[19:05] <kripso> simran: whats mt?
[19:05] <KungFuJesus> it has an initrd, but I'm not sure if they goes into the installer or what
[19:05] <simran> multithread
[19:05] <simran> i have dualcore
[19:05] <lucybigtits> its not, i have the office 2008 cd and it dont work :(
[19:05] <grawity> kripso: Hm, I have no idea actually.
[19:05] <__theIdiotBox> lucybigtits, for that you need to install wine...and then you install office thru it(i guess your are talking about ms office?)
[19:05] <simran> mplayer-mt makes use of both procesors
[19:05] <lucybigtits> and age of empires doesnt work either
[19:05] <simran> i downloaded it, but its not in the menu
[19:05] <grawity> kripso: ...on the second thought - isn't there a "Workspaces" applet in bottom right corner?
[19:05] <kripso> no
[19:06] <kripso> grawity: i have removed almost everything
[19:06] <lucybigtits> wine? as in the drink?
[19:06] <__theIdiotBox> lucybigtits, install that thru wine
[19:06] <grawity> kripso: Then try adding it and adjusting the number.
[19:06] <kripso> its solved
[19:06] <__theIdiotBox> !wine | lucybigtits
[19:06] <grawity> __theIdiotBox: #include <troll.h>
[19:06] <GPL> lucybigtits: they are windows programs, not debian packages/linux bin /source files, try #winehq or use Vmware or VirtualBox
[19:06] <kripso> nut the up and down thing but i dont care left and right is ok
[19:06] <kripso> i dont remeber echo scripting though
[19:07] <HobbleAlong> lucybigtits: this is an Ubuntu help channel...please troll elesewhere.
[19:07] <ingenioushax> How can I fix a compiz decorator failure?
[19:07] <GPL> HobbleAlong:he is a ubuntu user ;)
[19:08] <grawity> GPL: There are a few reasons to doubt that.
[19:08] <__theIdiotBox> lucybigtits, nopes man? WIndows Emulator
[19:08] <__theIdiotBox> HobbleAlong, i guess you are right...that guy is creating a mess here
[19:08] <__theIdiotBox> by asking junk questions...
[19:08] <kripso> __theIdiotBox: me?
[19:08] <grawity> kripso: no, the lucy person, I guess.
[19:09] <GPL> grawity: he just needed a bit of guidance, i think, see now he is on his way.
[19:09] <Alinn> Hi :)
[19:09] <Guest31434> is there any way how could i make my portable samsung mp3 player workable with ubuntu? At least to download mp3 to it...
[19:09] <kripso> wine sucks
[19:09] <kripso> .
[19:09] <grawity> GPL: A person with the word "tits" in the nick, asking about Office 2008 (the latest is 2007), and using mIRC?
[19:09] <kripso> you cant play everything necessary
[19:09] <RagnarokAngel> Guest49480: is it not recognized?
[19:10] <kripso> but im installing wine now need it for spotify
[19:10] <HobbleAlong> GPL: I have reason to doubt that
[19:10] <__theIdiotBox> kripso, no dude...yew grawity is right
[19:10] <Alinn> how to i customize logo of "main menu" applet?
[19:10] <holy_> kripso: no, it capable to run simple programs as, for example, LiteCAD
[19:10] <grawity> GPL: I'm helpful, but after helping in #ubuntu for a few weeks, I have a very sensitive troll-o-meter .
[19:10] <__theIdiotBox> kripso, if you want a gaming box go for cedega/crossover etc and the dedicated linux OS for gaming
[19:10] <root5_> with wine you can use ie4linux, that's great
[19:10] <kripso> __theIdiotBox: yes i will do so but my 'box' is a server at not my place
[19:10] <kripso> :/
[19:10] <__theIdiotBox> root5_, +1 for that
[19:11] <j2daosh> how to i untar a gz file?
[19:11] <j2daosh> and then the tar file in that
[19:11] <GPL> j2daosh: tar -xvf filename.tar.gz
[19:11] <__theIdiotBox> j2daosh, tar zxvf <filename> then tar
[19:11] <grawity> j2daosh: tar xf file.tar.gz
[19:11] <simran> guys, smplayer is a "frontend" for mplayer...what exactly does this mean and how would it differ from mplayer? ...Does it just mean its mplayer wiht a different GUI?
[19:11] <root5_> ungzip you mean not untar
[19:11] <grawity> j2daosh: tar will detect .gz automatically.
[19:11] <kripso> where do i find a good copy of vmware now when thepiratebay is down?
[19:11] <grawity> root5_: .tar.gz - <j2daosh?> and then the tar file in that
[19:11] <unj> Hi, I do not have enough free disk space to update packages because my root directory appears to be only 6.7g, I want to expand it without losign the configurations and files that I already have. http://pastebin.com/m18b0e2f0 This is my setup now, is there a way to expand it without compromising my files? I was told symlinks can work but I have never tried.
[19:11] <HobbleAlong> Guest31434: Most MP3 players act like a disk drive once you plug them in,  then just cp/drag your files to that drive
[19:12] <root5_> gunzip file.tar.gz;tar -xf file.tar
[19:12] <root5_> but grawity is very right
[19:12] <grawity> root5_: tar has -z option for ungzipping.
[19:12] <holy_> unj: you probably need /var/apt/cache/archives and also Home directory of a bigger size
[19:12] <grawity> root5_: also, recent versions detect gzip/bzip2 automatically.
[19:12] <GPL> i guess, j2daosh just asked about a tar in gz, which is .tar.gz lol
[19:12] <root5_> Oh, it's tar tar xf, but tar xzf for the complete thing
[19:13] <__theIdiotBox> root5_, i guess tar zxvf do that, right?
[19:13] <holy_> unj: you can 'sudo apt-get clean' and try to update again
[19:13] <dajhorn> unj: Run `apt-get clean`
[19:13] <unj> oh yeah, I tried, with no result
[19:13] <root5_> __theIdiotBox, absolutely
[19:13] <root5_> for jar format, you have the -j option
[19:13] <grawity> root5_: no, it's for bzip2
[19:14] <__theIdiotBox> yeh
[19:14] <root5_> grawity, yes sorry
[19:14] <__theIdiotBox> that is for bzip
[19:14] <dajhorn> unj: Try to clean /var before resizing filesystems.  Clean out /var/log and /var/tmp first.
[19:15] <unj> dajhorn: how do I clean a specific directory like /var/log...I looked inside but not sure what can be removed
[19:15] <dajhorn> unj: If you don't need to keep log files, then any *.gz file in /var/log is a safe choice.
[19:15] <__theIdiotBox> unj, what do you want to do that, btw?
[19:16] <dajhorn> unj: If you boot into single user mode, then anything in /var/tmp is also safe.
[19:16] <unj> __theIdiotBox: what do you mean?
[19:16] <hendrik> Hi, i wrote a little java program with has a bug: On resize of the window the X-session dies on Ubuntu 9.04 with Java 1.6 NVidia driver on both 16bit and 32bit. Java 1.5 on Ubuntu 9.04/NVidia is not affected. Ubuntu 8.10/Intel Graphic is not affected either.
[19:16] <hendrik> I am abit afraid that this bug can be abused by random webpages.
[19:16] <dehqan> good day everybody ; while removing libxml2 ,many other packages have been removed from system and now system is corrupted ,is there any way to find out names of those packages that have been removed ?
[19:17] <__theIdiotBox> unj, why do you want to manully clean the log folder?
[19:17] <hendrik> but i have no idea who to learn which component (java, x-windows, nvidia) is causing it.
[19:17] <unj> __theIdiotBox:  I don't, I just want to get more space on /home for updates and packages, without repartitioning and losing data
[19:18] <root5_> hendrik, launch a debugger on X or a kernel debugger on trace X when the crash is coming
[19:18] <growthmetal> hey, I had a question about partitions
[19:18] <__theIdiotBox> unj, okey coool...but cleaning that wont give you such big chunks...small sizes only...
[19:18] <__theIdiotBox> growthmetal, what?
[19:18] <growthmetal> I've got a vista partition and an ubuntu partition; what's the best way to transfer files between them?
[19:18] <hendrik> root5_, i know how to write java code but i am totally lost with C. Is there a howto somewhere?
[19:19] <grawity> growthmetal: Ubuntu can easily open the Vista partition
[19:19] <growthmetal> how?
[19:19] <unj> __theIdiotBox: I agree, is there a way to make /home bigger wihtout losign what is in it?
[19:19] <cbone> Hello...Anyone know of a good "how to" to install "berry4all" in jaunty? Thank you, I have exhausted google....
[19:19] <ido_> I have an annoying little issue when working with openoffice document. Every time I click on empty area the scroll bar bounces to the top and I have to go down again. How can I click without jumping to the top of the document??
[19:19] <__theIdiotBox> dehqan, simple way...just simulate re-install of the same pkg i.e libxml..and see what new packages are asked to be installed...and you are done
[19:19] <grawity> growthmetal: For internal disks, the recommended way is to add a line to /etc/fstab
[19:20] <grawity> growthmetal: or, can you open Places -> Computer and check if it lists the partition?
[19:20] <growthmetal> ok
[19:20] <root5_> hendrik, how to lean C language ? You can't just learn it in 1 week, but with the debugger youll be able to see wich function and wich parameters are involved in your crash, and then youll find more support
[19:20] <roscoe> is there a way to get jaunty to recognized a sdhc card
[19:20] <hendrik> root5_, i mean how to get started with a c debugger.
[19:20] <__theIdiotBox> unj, add new partition if possible and move some big folders from home to that and put softlinks for them on your home...jsut a suggestion
[19:20] <growthmetal> grawity: all I've got is "filesystem" and an audio disk in the drive
[19:20] <Berzerker> You can learn C in a week
[19:21] <Berzerker> I learned C++ in 2
[19:21] <jiohdi_> I am using Xfce I suddenly have no sound... where do I find it?
[19:21] <__theIdiotBox> hendrik, have to tied the basic debugger gdb
[19:21] <unj> __theIdiotBox: I don't want to keep pestering with questions...do have a link that explains this, if not then I can look for it
[19:21] <root5_> hendrik, ok sorry, I don't know, i learnt it in some books, and with the documentation (try gdb and kgdb (if im not wrong))
[19:22] <__theIdiotBox> unj, coooll....keep roaming around...
[19:22] <grawity> growthmetal: Hmm.. Can you open Terminal (from accessories), run 'sudo fdisk -l', and find the Windows partition in the list? (It'll be marked NTFS/HPFS)
[19:22] <root5_> C++ is way higher level than C (wich is still a high level programing language)
[19:22] <hendrik> Thanks.
[19:22]  * root5_ eats
[19:22]  * hendrik starts some googling with the keywords mentioned here.
[19:22] <Berzerker> C++ and C aren't too different.
[19:23] <growthmetal> grawity: I've got two things that have HPFS/NTFS listed under the System column
[19:23] <Berzerker> It's actually easier to program in C++ since you have so many functions that just do things for you
[19:23] <growthmetal>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[19:23] <growthmetal> /dev/sda1   *           1       18107   145441760+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[19:23] <growthmetal> /dev/sda2           18107       19457    10845184    7  HPFS/NTFS
[19:23] <HobbleAlong> Berzerker: Hello World is not learning C++
[19:23] <__theIdiotBox> Berzerker, i dont agree on that
[19:23] <__theIdiotBox> HobbleAlong, i agree with you
[19:23] <Berzerker> HobbleAlong, I didn't say hello world was learning C++
[19:23] <__theIdiotBox> growthmetal, pastebin plz?
[19:23] <growthmetal> _theIdiotBox: sorry
[19:23] <Berzerker> __theIdiotBox, well that's fine. too each his own.
[19:23] <guntbert> !ot
[19:24] <grawity> growthmetal: It appears there are two partitions... eh, we'll just add both.
[19:24] <growthmetal> http://pastebin.com/d3c732470
[19:24] <growthmetal> there are supposed to be two partitions: one for vista and one for ubuntu
[19:25] <grawity> growthmetal: Can you run 'sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sda1' ?
[19:26] <__theIdiotBox> guntbert, thanks for reminding
[19:26] <HobbleAlong> Berzerker: but that's probably what you learned in 2 weeks.  To be really proficient takes a lot of effort.
[19:26] <growthmetal> grawity: 572C8DDF568B4261
[19:26] <grawity> growthmetal: Thanks, now 'sudo mkdir /media/windows'
[19:27] <growthmetal> grawity: done
[19:27] <kripso> ok 1 more question for tonight when i double klick on a titlebar i dont want it to minimize so only the titlebar of the window is visible
[19:27] <Berzerker> HobbleAlong, going to a class 9AM to 5PM every day also helps
[19:27] <__theIdiotBox> Berzerker, lol
[19:27] <guntbert> __theIdiotBox: :-)
[19:28] <kripso> dont mind me.
[19:28] <Berzerker> HobbleAlong, our final project was to produce a crappy FPS, it wasn't as good as Counter-strike, but it had the basics: sound, physics, terrain.
[19:28] <HobbleAlong> Berzerker: that will get you the basics
[19:28] <grawity> growthmetal: Now just copy/paste this line:    echo "UUID=572C8DDF568B4261 /media/windows ntfs-3g auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0,utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab; sudo mount /media/windows
[19:29] <Berzerker> HobbleAlong, I'd say it gave me a good enough understanding of the C++ programming language. Not as well as most other people who know it, but a decent understanding.
[19:29] <growthmetal> grawity: done
[19:29] <Jackiz> how do i install a development version of SDL?
[19:29] <grawity> growthmetal: Now /media/windows should have the Windows partition.

[19:32] <__theIdiotBox> nabukadnezar43, then you must be getting some error msgs?what are they?
[19:32] <nabukadnezar43> no, there werent any
[19:32] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: Pastebin the output of the `dmesg` program.  If powerdown doesn't work, then you've probably got system errors.

[19:35] <Flannel> Jackiz: looks like the package is libsdl-image1.2-dev  If that's not what you're looking for, it'll definately be libsdl*-dev
[19:35] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: The floodbot silenced you for  pasting that.
[19:35] <Jackiz> okej thanks! :D

[19:35] <ab2qik> ubuntu is to be followed by a vista install for dual boot
[19:35] <saywatmang> hi i just found an x64 bug
[19:35] <grawity> ab2qik: Ubuntu _after_ Vista would be better.
[19:36] <saywatmang> http://gist.github.com/174889 segfaults but http://gist.github.com/174906 does not
[19:36] <nabukadnezar43> i uploaded it to pastebin
[19:36] <saywatmang> so tehre is some compilation issue on glibc for x64
[19:36] <nabukadnezar43> but bot doesnt let me to paste the link here
[19:36] <kripso> now its almost set some small issues but not big problems can i save this to a dvd disc for later installation (i will get new drive) for the computer.. so need to reinstall..
[19:36] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: No obvious disk or memory errors in that dmesg.
[19:36] <ab2qik> grawity,  but the guide says its better performance with ub followed by vista
[19:36] <Flannel> !bugs | saywatmang
[19:37] <Wazzzaaa> Is it possible (and how) to exec a command only when I login with ssh?
[19:37] <saywatmang> yea im too lazy tho :[
[19:37] <AvonGenesis> How would I do a disk defrag on ubuntu?
[19:37] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: and..?
[19:37] <Wazzzaaa> only for me, and only when ssh
[19:37] <grawity> Wazzzaaa: Add it to ~/.bashrc, maybe? Check if $SSH_CONNECTION is set.
[19:37] <nabukadnezar43> dajhorn, what do you suggest then?
[19:37] <broken-eee> Hi all, having a bit of a problem with my eee PC - booting into eeebuntu is failing, screen full of junk.  I suspect its resuming from hibernate without a working display driver.
[19:38] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: Try forcing a reboot:  # sudo sync; sudo reboot --force -P now
[19:38] <grawity> AvonGenesis: You don't -- the filesystem Linux uses doesn't really need defragmenting.
[19:38] <Wazzzaaa> thnx, I'll look into that grawity
[19:38] <broken-eee> Is there a way to boot my Ubuntu system, telling it not to restore from hibernation?
[19:38] <grawity> AvonGenesis: There exist a few tools, though.
[19:38] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  i had ub installed first anyhow. Not knowing its easier other way round
[19:38] <nabukadnezar43> it does reboot my friend
[19:38] <nabukadnezar43> it doesnt shut down
[19:38] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: But not halt or shutdown?
[19:38] <kripso> dont need defragmantion... hm
[19:38] <grawity> Wazzzaaa: Basically, if [ -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; then command; othercommand; fi
[19:38] <nabukadnezar43> yes
[19:38] <dehqan> good day every body , while making local repository ,if one package is in 2 different versions in the folder , dpkg-scanpackages will add lower version of that package in the list , is it possible to add lower version in the list ?
[19:38] <kripso> whats good with ext4?
[19:38] <hanasaki> what needs to be done to configure arno firewall in ubuntu to allow pptp vpn without enabling NAT in dpkg-reconfigure?
[19:38] <AvonGenesis> grawity, Really? Thats great! Do you know of any tools to keep your PC clean though?
[19:39] <mbeierl> kripso: write speed is improved
[19:39] <coreyman> visual studio on ubuntu? pst plz
[19:39] <maco> coreyman: pst?
[19:39] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  so should i just boot with vista and set the ntfs from the insatll disk
[19:39] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43:  Hmmm...  Sounds like an ACPI glitch.  Did you do anything to change power saving options?  Or did you change the BIOS setup from defaults?
[19:39] <coreyman> maco private
[19:39] <mbeierl> coreyman: I use eclipse with the CDT installed
[19:39] <nabukadnezar43> no dajhorn
[19:39] <kripso> mbeierl: so for a new disk with bigger cahce size and faster rpm you recomend ext4 before3?
[19:40] <Jackiz> i have downloaded a pakage, and i cant figure out how to install it. the package is libsdl-image1.2-dev
[19:40] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: What is the manufacturer an model of the computer and/or motherboard?
[19:40] <kripso> mbeierl: (laptop)
[19:40] <coreyman> mbeierl visual studio is require for my college class
[19:40] <__theIdiotBox> kripso, www.linux-mag.com/id/7272
[19:40] <nabukadnezar43> it's packard bell easynote v7084
[19:40] <maco> coreyman: then you're going to need a windows VM
[19:40] <__theIdiotBox> gotta go..buy guys...c ya tomorrow
[19:40] <ab2qik> where and how is the boot sector backed up?
[19:40] <nabukadnezar43> i changed some settings from Power Management
[19:40] <mbeierl> kripso: There were a few reports of ext4 problems in the early beta days, but I've been using in on laptop and desktop with great success and appreciation for write improvements
[19:40] <nabukadnezar43> if that counts
[19:41] <Wazzzaaa> grawity: but $SSH_CONNECTION is also set when I create a new window in screen
[19:41] <grawity> Wazzzaaa: Ah, hmm. Put in ~/.profile then?
[19:41] <mbeierl> coreyman: sorry I'm not sure that you're going to get a microsoft compiler working under wine.  did you try crossover?
[19:41] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: It does.  Changing the power configuration can result in this kind of problem.  What is the manufacturer and model of the computer?
[19:41] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: Windows does not play nice.  It will grab/wreck everything if you let it.
[19:41] <grawity> Wazzzaaa: or ~/.bash_profile, don't remember which one exists by default
[19:41] <nabukadnezar43> Packard Bell Easynote V7084
[19:41] <nabukadnezar43> DAJHORN
[19:41] <coreyman> mbeierl no i didn't
[19:42] <Wazzzaaa> hmm, the all get executed at starting a new terminal session
[19:42] <Wazzzaaa> .profile invokes .basrh
[19:42] <nabukadnezar43> i use up to date ubuntu 9.04
[19:42] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: Brand new model, eh?    Did it ever work as expected, or has it always been broken?
[19:42] <grawity> AvonGenesis: There isn't much to clean either. Ubuntu, like most other Linux distributions, uses a "package manager" to install and remove software - the packages can easily be removed. And everything pretty much goes to their own places.
[19:42] <dehqan> good day every body , while making local repository ,if one package is in 2 different versions in the folder , dpkg-scanpackages will add lower version of that package in the list , is it possible to add lower version in the list ?
[19:43] <grawity> Wazzzaaa: ~/.profile is only exec'd for login shells
[19:43] <nabukadnezar43> no, it works well with windows
[19:43] <ab2qik> so does everyone normally have vista followed by ub? If so, why does this guide recommend ub followed by vista: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[19:43] <AvonGenesis> grawity: Alright, thanks for your help :D
[19:43] <mbeierl> coreyman: short of running windows in a virtual machine, I think crossover is the closest you're going to get.
[19:43] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: Has it always been broken with Ubuntu?
[19:43] <nabukadnezar43> it worked well with ubuntu 8.04 as well
[19:43] <grawity> Wazzzaaa: And if you add the [ if -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; thing to it, it should work
[19:43] <Wazzzaaa> ok, i'll test it
[19:43] <nabukadnezar43> no i just had problems with 8.10 and 9.04
[19:43] <nabukadnezar43> both didnt shut down
[19:43] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: Upgrade or fresh install?
[19:44] <nabukadnezar43> fresh
[19:44] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong, so does everyone normally have vista followed by ub? If so, why does this guide recommend ub followed by vista: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[19:44] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: are you starting from scratch or trying to fix what you have?
[19:44] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: Bummer.  That makes it a difficult problem.
[19:44] <dehqan> good day every body , while making local repository ,if one package is in 2 different versions in the folder , dpkg-scanpackages will add lower version of that package in the list , is it possible to add higher version in the list ?
[19:44] <dajhorn> nabukadnezar43: I don't have any more suggestions for you.
[19:44] <nabukadnezar43> well 8.04 was working like a dream
[19:45] <broken-eee> How can I boot my system without it resuming from previous hibernate?
[19:45] <nabukadnezar43> thanks my friend
[19:45] <Wazzzaaa> that worked grawity thnx!
[19:45] <edbian> broken-eee: Choose "shut down" instead of hibernate ??
[19:45] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  i had enough of vista after it crashed. Everything was backed up and i went for ub.
[19:45] <urthmover> during the ubuntu installation is it possible to configure /home on its own partition?
[19:46] <urthmover> if so what is the reccomended size for the / partition?
[19:46] <broken-eee> No, I have a system that wont resume properly (I think), cannot get into it.
[19:46] <mnaines> ab2qik: I used to be a big Vista fanboy, too.  I got tired of constantly having to feed the pig all the time, so I switched to Ubuntu
[19:46] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  much time was spent understanding lvm and have it working nicely
[19:47] <urthmover> lol  how did you become a Vista fanboy of all thing?
[19:47] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: it doesn't recommend that at all.  It's trying to allow you to not have to reinstall vista if you've already gone through the pain.
[19:47] <mnaines> urthmover: I started waaaaaay back in Windows 3.x...I know, I'm old...
[19:47] <urthmover> mnaines  I started with DOS 2.11 pre 3.2  you aren't old enough
[19:47] <urthmover> lol
[19:48] <mnaines> urthmover: Actually, I wasn't even out of elementary school by the time I got addicted to computers
[19:48] <Jackiz> i have downloaded a pakage, and i cant figure out how to install it. the package is libsdl-image1.2-dev
[19:48] <Berzerker> I'm a windows 7 fanboy now. :P
[19:48] <Berzerker> but I still use UNR.
[19:49] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong, pls see this on the guide: Disadvantage of Installing Ubuntu after Windows.
[19:49] <urthmover> mnaines: yep  sounds very familiar....I had my 8086 in pieces when I was 6 with my mom pissed off cause she couldn't fire up Bank Street Writer
[19:49] <Flannel> Jackiz: sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev will download and install it.
[19:49] <Jackiz> thanks
[19:49] <ejv> is this #memory-lane right now?
[19:49] <ejv> lol
[19:49] <urthmover> lol ejv
[19:49] <mnaines> urthmover: My first computer was an old Tandy 1000, followed by a Commodore 64, then when Windows 3.x hit the market, I bought a real computer and ever since then, I've been teaching myself everything about computers...By that time, I already knew more about computers than a college professor
[19:50] <dajhorn> broken-eee: Power-on or reset the computer, push ESC at the Grub prompt, and choose the "recovery mode".
[19:50] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong, For faster Ubuntu, install Ubuntu first, and then install Windows.
[19:50] <urthmover> yay gemstone warrior
[19:50] <urthmover> yay ultima 2
[19:50] <urthmover> yay zork
[19:51] <urthmover> yay kings quest
[19:51] <Flannel> urthmover, mnaines: mind taking this to #ubuntu-offtopic?  Thanks.
[19:51] <broken-eee> Thanks dajhorn, will try that!  Will return later.
[19:51] <ghassen_> hi
[19:51] <mnaines> Flannel, how many peeps in here have that much experience with computers?
[19:51] <urthmover> ok Flannel is it easy to /home to its own partition during the ubuntu liveCD installation?
[19:51] <ghassen_> a lot
[19:51] <Flannel> urthmover: It is.
[19:51] <urthmover> ok thx Flannel
[19:52] <ghassen_> yes
[19:52] <Flannel> mnaines: I'm not sure how war stories are relevant to this channel.
[19:52] <urthmover> later mnaines
[19:52] <mnaines> Flannel: Those weren't war stories...Those were recollections of funtimes on old PCs
[19:52] <Flannel> mnaines: Alright, I'm not sure how recollections are relevant to this channel.
[19:53] <[TOP]kangu> quick question anyone fimiliar with quake live i have an audio problem !! http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/756/shot0001bvk.jpg
[19:53] <mnaines> Flannel: I see it as a way to prove how much experience one has
[19:53] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: That goes against anything I've ever read or done.  I completely quit windoze about a year and a half ago, so maybe something new is afoot that I don't know about.
[19:53] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  did you see: Installing Windows After Ubuntu
[19:53] <jhaig> I have a user who logged out with 'Suspend' by accident and now he cannot log back in again.  He just gets a blank screen with the mouse pointer.  It appears that somewhere, it thinks he has a suspended session.  Has anyone seen this before, and know how to fix it?  Ubuntu 9.04.
[19:54] <jhaig> Is there something left in the user's home directory to say that the session is suspended?
[19:54] <Jackiz> what command will download and instal PyGame?
[19:54] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong, It talks about the positions of innner/outer cylinders on the drive.
[19:55] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: If anyone can notice that they *are* a computer so why bother.
[19:55] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong, The speed of the disk relative to the head is larger at the disk outer edge than near the center of the disk. Therefore rotating disks may have read/write rate 60 MB/sec at the cylinders with lowest numbers (near the outer edge), but only 30-40 MB/sec at cylinders with highest numbers (near the center).
[19:55] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: Kill the pulseaudio daemon and try again.
[19:55] <churl> what's it mean when gparted doesnt see your partitions but the partitions are still there?
[19:55] <Gelegrodan> somebody got dropbear work with initramfs on ubuntu?
[19:55] <mnaines> Don't even start with me today, Flannel...I'm not in a good mood, and if you don't want to end up on my target of opportunity list, I suggest you chill out
[19:56] <Flannel> mnaines: This channel is solely for support.  This is not a place to manufacture "street cred" by how old you are.
[19:56] <ikonia> mnaines: please join #ubuntu-ops
[19:56] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, do you mean python-pygame? If so, sudo apt-get install pyhon-pygame
[19:56] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: Check also whether you've got the same problem with Flash.  (ie: Visit Youtube or somesuch site and check whether you've got audio.)
[19:56] <[TOP]kangu> ok
[19:56] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: thanks
[19:56] <[TOP]kangu> dajhorn i dont get sound in youtube
[19:57] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, np
[19:57] <Jackiz> could not find  the package
[19:57] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: Double-check the simple stuff too, like muted channels.
[19:57] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: it couldnt find the package :O
[19:57] <[TOP]kangu> dajhorn i have hrm.. im new to linux as well
[19:57] <dollarbang1> raylu: concerning network settings....it was an ID 10 T error, Network Admins says: When Network Issues occur, check the obvious first...is the plug in the outlet. :-D
[19:58] <churl> ﻿what's it mean when gparted doesnt see your partitions but the partitions are still there?
[19:58] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: all that is theoretical, doesn't happen in the real world.  Don't believe everything you read; especially on the internet
[19:58] <[TOP]kangu> dajhorn when i click on the volume control ... to check other sounds like in / out mic... etc..
[19:58] <[TOP]kangu> it freezes...
[19:58] <[TOP]kangu> and force quits..
[19:58] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Applications.   When you're at places like YouTube, you should see entries in the Application tab for firefox.
[19:58] <Gelegrodan> somebody got dropbear to work with initramfs?
[19:58] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, do you have the universe repositories enabled?
[19:58] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: Varies for Ubuntu releases.  Are you on Jaunty?
[19:59] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: how do i enable that?
[19:59] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  yes but this is from ubuntu.com. I believed its the horses mouth so to speak
[19:59] <[TOP]kangu> dajhorn after i clicked on sound.. there is no tab for applications
[20:00] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: maybe...
[20:00] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, System -> Administration -> Software Sources. On the Ubuntu Software tab, make sure top 4 boxes are checked. Second one is universe.
[20:00] <apparle> hi guys
[20:00] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu:  We need to back up one step.  Has sound ever worked on this computer?  Are you running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty?
[20:00] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  where can the following be accessed and edited: MBR code is changed to point to the boot loader in Ubuntu.
[20:00] <[TOP]kangu> yes i have sound
[20:00] <[TOP]kangu> in quakelive..
[20:00] <[TOP]kangu> its distorted.
[20:01] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: Okay, kill the pulseaudio process and try again.
[20:01] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: the top 4 are checked already :/
[20:01] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: You may not have it, but check for it and kill it if it is running.
[20:01] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, just to be sure, try sudo apt-get update
[20:01] <Jackiz> ok
[20:02] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, then sudo apt-get install python-pygame
[20:02] <raylu> dollarbang1: heh, glad to see you have it resolved
[20:02] <Jackiz> it looks like it is downloading stuff now
[20:02] <zroysch> why would changing the vga cable connecting my laptop to the external monitor change the maximum resolution on said external monitor from 1680x1050 (its native resolution) to 1360x768 in gnome display preferences and/or how do i get 1680x1050 back
[20:02] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:02] <tavi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/259448/
[20:02] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: still same error :/
[20:02] <[TOP]kangu> dajhorn for some reason... i cannot lod volume control nor sys - pref - sound.. it just keeps freezing and i would have to force quit it...
[20:02] <[TOP]kangu> for some odd reason.
[20:03] <simran> anyone here running ubuntu on a laptop with nvidia gfx
[20:03] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, please open Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager). Do you see the package python-pygame there?
[20:04] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  i understand that the mbr will be overwritten by vista. Th code in mbr is what would have been pointing to ub before the vista install.
[20:04] <lexr> !sr
[20:04] <lexr> !rs
[20:04] <[TOP]kangu> http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/9632/screenshotycp.png
[20:04] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu:  PulseAudio, which is probably running your sound card right now, has a known buffer glitch that affects things like VMware and Flash, and probably Quake Live if it wants ALSA.  The easy way to diagnose is to reboot the computer, kill PulseAudio, and run Quake again.
[20:04]  * fire_fox xaxaxaxa e ton mlk ton sise
[20:04] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: yes, and it is unticed. shall i tic it ?
[20:04] <kripso> how do i see my cpuinfo in terminal? i think its not set to correct value..?
[20:05] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, good idea ;-)
[20:05] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: hehe :D thanks man!
[20:05] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, then hit apply and you should be done
[20:05] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  so where and how is mbr accessed and edited to repoint to ub
[20:05] <[TOP]kangu> how would i kill pulse audio?
[20:05] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, youre welcome
[20:05] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: Are you comfortable at the command prompt?
[20:06] <[TOP]kangu> terminal ?
[20:06] <[TOP]kangu> =P
[20:06] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: yeah, that last may not be right.  If not I'm not sure, never did it and now probably never will.  I'm sooo happy without windoze.:-[
[20:06] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu:   Yup, unfortunately.
[20:06] <[TOP]kangu> yeah
[20:06] <[TOP]kangu> if i had like uh..
[20:06] <[TOP]kangu> someone telling me commands
[20:06] <[TOP]kangu> haha
[20:06] <FloodBot2> [TOP]kangu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:07] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: Well,  I could suggest a heresy that will get me flamed...
[20:07] <humberto> hello
[20:07] <lexr> ok...
[20:07] <[TOP]kangu> well if your going to get flamed you dont have too..
[20:07] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: :D
[20:07] <lexr> no flaming
[20:07] <lexr> :)
[20:07] <stewart_> if i return something when I am looping over an enum will the enum stop looping when the return is called?
[20:08] <dajhorn> [TOP]kangu: Use your favorite package manager to remove the pulseaudio packages,  try Quake Live, and then reinstall pulseaudio before anybody notices.
[20:08] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  need to keep vista for things like photoshop and others. Until these programs begin to work on ub
[20:08] <tavi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/259448/
[20:08] <tavi> who help me whit this?
[20:08] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: OMG! the game i have tried to get starting all night actualy works now!! thanks so much!  now im going to play frets on fire like crazy! :)
[20:09] <Guest31434> How should make my mp3 portable player compatible? I found out i could make it with rythmbox, but it still not recognizing...
[20:09] <lexr> kewl
[20:09] <broken-eee> Hi dajhorn, it worked! Not sure what did it, but some combination of running the X hardware fix and trying all old kernels in the list sorted it.  It booted correctly on the oldest kernel, then I shutdown and restarted on the latest, and its up!
[20:09] <ab2qik> anyone know about accessing the mbr?
[20:09] <dutchbuntu> Jackiz, have fun mate ;-)
[20:09] <dajhorn> broken-eee: Np, you're welcome.
[20:09] <kripso> where do i find info about my cpu from terminal?
[20:09] <Qubexy_> ab2qik: GRUB?
[20:10] <genii> kripso: sudo lshw -C cpu
[20:10] <broken-eee> kripso: cat /proc/cpuinfo also
[20:10] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: The Gimp works well enough for me, but I would like to see a better video editor, though there's a couple on the far horizon
[20:10] <ab2qik> Qubexy_, have ub installed and am about to install vista. Vista will overwrite mbr that points to ub
[20:11] <Qubexy_> ab2qik: Got that right, its something you need to modify by install grub again (or lead MBR to GRUB)
[20:11] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: Damnit! xD Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
[20:12] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong,  hopefully it wont be too long but need these others working in the meantime really.
[20:12] <mnaines> ab2qik: why are you trying to dual-boot?
[20:12] <grampaj0e> Is there a keyboard command to redraw the screen?
[20:12] <Qubexy_> mnaines: maybe gaming etc.?=
[20:12] <mnaines> Qubexy_: I can still play games on Linux

[20:13] <mnaines> ab2qik: Have you looked at GIMP?  Its basically just like Photoshop

[20:14] <Qubexy_> there is another one under the main topic,
[20:14] <kripso> damn
[20:14] <maco> ab2qik: photoshop cs2 will work in wine. gimp will work for the most common tasks done with photoshop, but of course some of the buttons are in different places
[20:14] <FloodBot2> kripso: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:14] <kripso> need to change those to 1500
[20:14] <kripso> dont remember how i did that
[20:15] <blackxored> hello everyone, do you about those programs stay on your desktop showing cpu memory usage and the like, probably mail, which one I could install?
[20:15] <mnaines> kripso: I did it using the CPU Frequency and Scaling applet
[20:15] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: i guess, its the same error anyway
[20:15] <mnaines> blackxored: The System Monitor applet does that pretty well
[20:16] <kripso> broken-eee: you know where the 'config' for the cpu are? its wrong i have 1500 dual core and it set to 1000 on both
[20:16] <ab2qik> as its for work dont want to risk things straight away.
[20:16] <blackxored> wait maybe I can find an screenshot
[20:16] <kripso> well there is a terminal way to do it
[20:16] <ab2qik> Qubexy_,  thanks will look through them.
[20:16] <Qubexy_> ab2qik: then maybe you should use VirtualBox instead
[20:16] <mnaines> kripso: Right-click on the taskbar then click "CPU Frequency and Scaling Applet"
[20:17] <zroysch> why would changing the vga cable connecting my laptop to the external monitor change the maximum resolution on said external monitor from 1680x1050 (its native resolution) to 1360x768 in gnome display preferences and/or how do i get 1680x1050 back
[20:17] <Qubexy_> ab2qik: If you have a fast computer with the enough energy to run two system in the same time, i would recon it

[20:17] <blackxored> could be conky???

[20:17] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: For work... Sucks, but I don't blame you...
[20:18] <dajhorn> zroysch: Those are high resolutions.  If the computer is a laptop, then it may not have enough memory to run both screens at full resolution.
[20:18] <lexr> did anyone tried to install ms office on ubuntu? I tried, and it wont register... It does not accept my licence number and user info :)

[20:18] <Qubexy_> mnaines: ofc it can dualboot
[20:18] <zroysch> dajhorn: i mentioned that it was running at 1680x1050 until i changed the vga cable. remember?
[20:18] <blackxored> but nicer I think?
[20:18] <mnaines> ab2qik: You don't EVER, EVER want to dual-boot with Vista...Vista itself is a resource hog, and will require as much as 2GB of memory and 16GB of hard drive space just for itself
[20:18] <grawity> dajhorn: Does it really take that much memory? I thought a screen of that size is only ~6 MB or so.
[20:19] <calipso> can someone help me with dmraid. it does not start when i boot and i get dumped to initfsran prompt and do dmraid -ay . then it can continue booting

[20:19] <ejv> which interface amews_aj
[20:19] <ab2qik> HobbleAlong, yeah, would not like to get the boot because the bootloader did not work.
[20:19] <kripso> mnaines: taskbar?
[20:19] <zroysch> you type this: reboot
[20:19] <m6z5o5n2> Is it possible to record Direct TV with Mythbuntu?
[20:19] <lexr> I did install under WINE. HobbleAlong
[20:20] <dajhorn> zroysch: *shrug*  You got ignored the first time and didn't provide enough information to answer the question fully.  I figured I'd give you something to look into.

[20:20] <HobbleAlong> ab2qik: :)
[20:20] <mnaines> Politics...How tiresome
[20:21] <dajhorn> zroysch:   Manufacturer and model of the video card, and the kind of driver that you're using.  (ie: Bundled, or nvidia/at proprietary.)
[20:21] <lexr> the installation goes OK, but when I start, it always show me a screen about registration and I cannot type in MS word.
[20:22] <mickster04> lexr, msworde? in #ubuntu?
[20:22] <zroysch> dajhorn: i think you're missing the fact that the resolution was the proper size with the vgacable that came with the monitor, now it is not, with a radioshack vga cable. this is the only thing that has changed. the intel video card in the laptop has not changed.

[20:23] <mnaines> ab2qik: If you have the hardware to support Vista, you can do that, but you need a MINIMUM of 2GB of RAM and 16GB of hard drive space just for Vista itself
[20:23] <amews_aj> zroysch, can't, need a command
[20:23] <zroysch> amews_aj: reboot
[20:23] <lexr> yep, I need it for work. I conviced my colleagues to switch to ubuntu, but they need MS office instead of OO because of the header and footer problem with OO., Office 2000

[20:23] <zroysch> amews_aj: then learn how to ask a question
[20:24] <ab2qik> maines: yes have 2gb ram a dual core 2ghz processsors. Looking to upgrade to 4gb ram
[20:24] <dajhorn> zroysch: Every recent laptop that I've used checks the VGA cable at power-on or reinitialization.  Perhaps the cable is bad, so the video card is limiting modes to prevent an old-style CRT blow out.
[20:24] <amews_aj> zroysch, Need a command to restart the interface
[20:24] <zroysch> amews_aj: die.
[20:24] <Flannel> tavi: How did you install opencity?
[20:24] <zroysch> dajhorn: yea i'm not confident in the radioshack cord. i'll probably just return it.
[20:24] <zroysch> thanks
[20:24] <mnaines> ab2qik: I would hold off on Vista until you upgrade the RAM...As you sit right now, Vista would use up all your available resources before you could get Ubuntu installed
[20:24] <lexr> or, suggest me a program that can put headers and footer above the margin... that will work too :)
[20:24] <tavi> add remove [rograms
[20:24] <Jeruvy> ReaperFromHell: you should ask in #ubuntu+1 thanks.
[20:24] <dajhorn> zroysch: Way-back, you could "overclock" a CRT monitor and cook it.  If the video card isn't getting a EDID returned properly, then you could be mode limited.
[20:25] <ab2qik> maines : drive is 250gb
[20:25] <Jackiz> dutchbuntu: ok, ill try there. thanks :)
[20:25] <ReaperFromHell> thanks Jeruvy

[20:25] <Flannel> mnaines, ab2qik: Other OSes have nothing to do with booting from a liveCD
[20:25] <dajhorn> zroysch: Correct, but Ubuntu is well behaved, and thinking "better safe than sorry".
[20:25] <mickster04> amews_aj, what do u mean?
[20:26] <dajhorn> zroysch: Rather, what if you were using a CRT?  You wouldn't want that to happen.
[20:26] <amews_aj> mickster04, "learn how to ask", "die" - isn't exactly friendly comments

[20:26] <Flannel> zroysch: Please be polite.
[20:26] <zroysch> i'm just trying to imagine how much variation you could possibly have in a 15pin vga cable.
[20:26] <mickster04> amews_aj, ? who said that? report them?
[20:27] <amews_aj> mickster04, zroysch said that
[20:27] <dajhorn> zroysch: If you want to learn more, then try the read-edid or xrandr programs.  My guess is that they are misidentifying the display.
[20:27] <amews_aj> Flannel, What will that do exactly? What will be restarted? To me it sounds like more than interface?
[20:27] <Flannel> mnaines: How would Vista use resources before he could install Ubuntu?  He's installing it from a liveCD, Vista isn't running.
[20:27] <pratik_narain> can i install additional packages such as gparted from jaunty cd after installing the base system.
[20:27] <Flannel> amews_aj: networking will be restarted.
[20:27] <mickster04> amews_aj, well ive been on and off here often and have never seen him before.... he is obviously not your average person here... sorry youve had that ecperience tho...:(
[20:28] <Flannel> pratik_narain: The alternate CD has a repository on it, the desktop CD doesn't.
[20:28] <amews_aj> Flannel, as far as I remember you can do something like x11 or gnome to restart the interface.
[20:28] <Flannel> amews_aj: Define "interface"
[20:28] <thingy> tavi: do you see? from your latest pastebin, you do not have any opengl modes available. What graphics card do you have on that box?

[20:28] <zroysch> Flannel: he has continuously failed to do so.
[20:28] <mnaines> Flannel: Do you know anything about Windows at all?  I spent $2,500 on a quad-core tower with 8GB of RAM solely because of Vista
[20:28] <Flannel> amews_aj: Ah, that's the wrong term.

[20:30] <mnaines> ejv: That's how much parts cost to keep feeding the Vista pig...
[20:30] <Flannel> amews_aj: Depending on what version you're using, you can ctrl-alt-backspace and that'll restart.  Except that's been disabled in 9.04.  You can do a few other things, but restarting gdm is likely what you want to do.  /etc/init.d/gdm restart

[20:31] <ejv> xubuntu has tiered internet, the smarter you are, the faster it goes, it's tubes-drm
[20:31] <Flannel> mnaines: Please stop being offtopic.  Stop trying to explain to him that he doesn't want to dual boot with vista, and stop spreading false information about how computers work when dualbooting.
[20:31] <mickster04> Fragsworth, if its on a laptop i wont...
[20:31] <ibuclaw> Fragsworth, ie: I have British keyboard, and can use AltGr+<Key> to insert a special character
[20:31] <Flannel> amews_aj: restarting gdm is possible, yes.  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (unless they're using kdm, in which case its kdm instead of gdm)
[20:31] <thingy> tavi: have you enabled the use of nvidia hardware drivers? if you don't know, follow this guide --> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Install_Latest_Nvidia.2FATI_drivers

[20:32] <tavi> i ahd have several problems about this
[20:32] <tavi> but i resolved

[20:33] <bnijk> how do i disable a daemon in this distro
[20:33] <bnijk> from loading at boot
[20:33] <amews_aj> Flannel, though if someone is using that machine it will disturb them ?
[20:33] <Flannel> pratik_narain: That's correct.  But what are you going to use gparted for anyway?  You'd likely need to do it from a liveCD
[20:33] <niko> bnijk: install rcconf
[20:33] <Flannel> amews_aj: Yes.
[20:33] <mnaines> Flannel: Its not my job to blow sunshine up people's ringpieces
[20:33] <thingy> tavi: I don't think you have...also your pastebin output for glxinfo seems incomplete. Do this : "glxinfo > ~/glxinfo.txt" and pastebin the contents of the ~/glxinfo.txt file

[20:38] <maco> Lademord: by a new hard drive. FAST.
[20:38] <thingy> tavi: 1. You are going to have to resolve your nvidia hardware drivers issue before opencity will work. To test if nvidia drivers are installed and working, look at the output of glxinfo. 2. To install the nvidia drivers manually, undo what you did in the hardware drivers (i.e. deselect the use of nvidia hardware drivers) and follow the guide on setting up nvidia drivers manually.
[20:38] <thingy>   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Installation_of_ATI_and_nVidia_Graphics_drivers
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> Lademord: and get a new drie. Make sure your backups are recent
[20:39] <maco> Lademord: also, you should probably not use the drive too much if its on its last legs. just take a backup and then dont touch it. the more you use it, the worse it'll get

[20:41] <maco> Lademord: 5400 RPM is standard, 7200RPM is what you'll find on nicer consumer drives
[20:41] <giiker> bad sectors, it means that data cant be written on it
[20:42] <tavi> thingy: i gave it
[20:42] <kermit> where can i set how often hald polls things? hal-system-killswitch-get-power is being run every 6 seconds, what is that?
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> maco: or 15,000 rpm if yuo get scsi :D
[20:42] <maco> ActionParsnip: i said "consumer" not "server" :P
[20:42] <pratik_narain> Flannel: actually i am just asking. besides can i look into the cd for some other packages/software.
[20:42] <tavi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/259466/
[20:42] <Lademord> maco, so SCSI would be overkill for regular home use I reckon?
[20:42] <ibuclaw> tavi, that looks nothing like the output of glxinfo to me ... you usually get around 300+ lines of output
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> maco: some folks use quad core i7 chips in a desktop. hardly consumer, more server wouldnt yuo say
[20:43] <maco> Lademord: SCSI wouldnt work in a normal computer
[20:43] <Tesseracter_> hello, im trying to get wireless working in sweden on my lenovo t42, i already modified my /etc/modprobe.d/options, and now the networks dont show up anymore.
[20:43] <linuxninja> Lademord: SCSI is dead
[20:43] <iliketofrolic666> how do i remount the mp3 player as writable?
[20:43] <maco> linuxninja: eh? scsi is whats in servers
[20:43] <Lademord> thanks
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> Lademord: if you need drive speed then scsi can help. You need special hardware for scsi
[20:43] <maco> Lademord: ive had poor luck with Western Digital drives before, so i'd say go for Seagate
[20:43]  * Lademord knows nothing of standards
[20:43] <linuxninja> maco: Not any more... New servers have SATA
[20:43] <thingy> tavi: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[20:43] <tavi> ibuclaw: that's all
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> maco: snap on the WD drives
[20:43] <maco> linuxninja: really?
[20:43] <ibuclaw> tavi, unless of course nvidia isn't working :)
[20:43] <linuxninja> maco: Yup!
[20:43] <linuxninja> maco: SATA is just as fast as SCSI
[20:43] <bucky> tavi, what does grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf   say?
[20:44] <user_> slm
[20:44] <maco> ActionParsnip: i had 2 or 3 WD drives go in like 6 months, but my Seagate's been going a whle ok
[20:44] <simran> anyone know how to get brightness control on laptop with nvidia gfx chipset
[20:44] <giiker> get the 10000 rpm if it is for a desktop
[20:44] <tavi> 	Driver		"nvidia"
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> maco: i buy seagate or maxtor if i want something cheap and cheerful
[20:45] <giiker> arent maxtor really bad?
[20:45] <bucky> tavi have you restarted X ?
[20:45] <tavi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/259471/
[20:45] <tavi> bucky:  when?
[20:45] <ibuclaw> tavi,   sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh
[20:45] <thingy> 10k rpm drives don't last as long as 7.2k rpm ones. so unless you need the speed stick with 7.2k drives
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> giiker: they arent too bad, not the fastest things but its not WD
[20:46] <came0> HELP!  I'm trying this command:  sudo mount /vol         and getting this error: mount: special device /dev/sdh does not exist ............. the problem is i'm trying to mount /dev/sdl !  is there a way to clear out /dev/sdh of there?
[20:46] <tavi> Running nvidia-bug-report.sh... complete.
[20:46] <tavi> The file nvidia-bug-report.log has been created; please send this report,
[20:46] <tavi> along with a description of your bug, to linux-bugs@nvidia.com.
[20:46] <SirStan> thingy: 10k drives have a longer MTBF than 7.2k drives, and therefor last longer.
[20:46] <iliketofrolic666> how do i mount something as writable?
[20:46] <giiker> thingy: why?
[20:46] <bucky> tavi, i didn't see nvidia in your last paste
[20:46] <dajhorn> came0: You've got an old entry in the /etc/fstab file that you need to change.
[20:46] <digitalbuddy> hello .. i have problem in skype
[20:46] <tavi> bucky:  where?
[20:46] <came0> dajhorn:  ok thanks!  I'll check it out!
[20:46] <bucky> tavi, did you run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[20:46] <tavi> and what is whit this?
[20:46] <ibuclaw> tavi, gedit  nvidia-bug-report.log
[20:46] <giiker> ActionParsnip: I have always bought WD and be afraid of Maxtor :(
[20:46] <ibuclaw> tavi, copy the ENTIRE contents into a pastebin
[20:47] <Do-m-pie> Hi does anybody know why sleepd isn't starting?
[20:47] <digitalbuddy> hello .. i have problem in skype
[20:47] <thingy> SirStan: the higher the rpm the more wear/tear and in dataserver environments, I've noted that the os drives die quicker than the data ones, (they're the 10k drives!)
[20:47] <tavi> bucky:  i think ib tried a few time ago
[20:47] <bucky> ok
[20:47] <dragon> Do-m-pie: because it's sleeping ;)
[20:47] <tavi> but  didn't resolve anything
[20:47] <thingy> SirStan: i mean't the os drives are the 10k ones!
[20:47] <Do-m-pie> dragon: lol but I like the sleep daemon
[20:47] <iliketofrolic666> how do i mount a drive in terminal?
[20:48] <dragon> how can I enable automatic updates in Ubuntu Server?
[20:48] <digitalbuddy> is it the right room to ask about skype
[20:48] <dajhorn> dragon: sudo apt-get intall unattended-upgrades
[20:48] <digitalbuddy> is it the right room to ask about skype
[20:48] <tavi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/259473/
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> iliketofrolic666: sudo mount /dev/<partition name> /mount/point -o rw,user,uid=1000
[20:48] <giiker> thingy: so when 72k rpm HD came out they lasted shorter than 45k rpm HD?
[20:48] <Lademord> maco, like this? http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?sp=all&pid=202521
[20:48] <bucky> tavi, what does System=>Preferences=>Display look like
[20:48] <digitalbuddy> is it the right room to ask about skype
[20:49] <digitalbuddy> is it the right room to ask about skype
[20:49] <maco> digitalbuddy: if oure trying to get it working on ubuntu
[20:49] <nightrid3r> digitalbuddy: if its about skype on ubuntu
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> iliketofrolic666: change /mount/point and <partition name> to suit your needs
[20:49] <maco> also, no need to repeat
[20:49] <Lademord> 'SATA-300' - I guess that's good enough?
[20:49] <thingy> giiker: no idea...never used any 4.5k drives
[20:49] <ibuclaw> tavi, ty ... I'll just be a minute reviewing it.
[20:49] <digitalbuddy> of course
[20:49] <dragon> dajhorn:
[20:49] <maco> Lademord: aye, thats a slightly-larger version of the drive i use for backups (i have the 250gb version)
[20:49] <dragon> dajhorn: thanks!
[20:49] <Tesseracter_> hello, im trying to get wireless working in sweden on my lenovo t42, i already modified my /etc/modprobe.d/options, and now the networks dont show up anymore.
[20:49] <tavi> bucky: i do not have any display
[20:49] <dragon> how can i find out which files did a package install on an Ubuntu server?
[20:49] <tavi> i have in another language
[20:50] <maco> dragon: dpkg -S <package>
[20:50] <Lademord> cool, thanks, I'll get that then, maco.
[20:50] <dajhorn> dragon:  dpkg -L MyPackage
[20:50] <maco> dragon: dajhorn's answer is better
[20:50] <dragon> cool, thanks!
[20:50] <zamba> does anyone know of an add-on or feature for thunderbird that breaks (and formats) incoming email with long lines?
[20:51] <mickster04> zamba, try turning word wrapping on :P
[20:51] <ibuclaw> tavi,   fyi: 185.18.31  ... manually compiled drivers aren't really supported here.
[20:51] <t0s> i deleted one of my desktop panels, is there a way to get the regular ubuntu theme back to normal?
[20:51] <ibuclaw> but nvm...
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> !resetpanel
[20:52] <tavi> ibuclaw: i think i don't understand
[20:52] <vadim> Hi All!
[20:52] <dragon> !hi | vadim
[20:52] <digitalbuddy> when i create a new skype name account i fill all the blanks but the sign up icon is gray and unclickable
[20:52] <vadim> Thanks!
[20:52] <t0s> thanks
[20:53] <dragon> digitalbuddy: could you post a screenshot of what it looks like?
[20:53] <vadim> I have problem with using Pidgin for ICQ ...
[20:53] <dragon> !imagebin| digitalbuddy
[20:53] <mickster04> vadum maybe try xchat?
[20:53] <ubuntistas> any clue why i cannot watch videos at apple's site?
[20:53] <LinuX2half> hi, today I experience a major glitch to my internet connection
[20:53] <ibuclaw> tavi, did you download the nvidia drivers from the nvidia website?
[20:53] <dragon> vadim: what's the problem?
[20:53] <tavi> yes
[20:54] <thingy> tavi: The nvidia setup looks ok...it might that particular version of the nvidia driver -->169.12  Have you tried any other version of the nvidia driver available in ubuntu?
[20:54] <dotblank> hey how do I pipe both stderr and stdout?
[20:54] <tavi> or i didn't knoiw well
[20:54] <LinuX2half> The computer had established a connection with the router but I can't access the internet
[20:54] <tavi> thingy: yesss
[20:54] <ibuclaw> tavi, and what does hardware drivers say that NViDIA is installed?
[20:54] <Lademord> maco, on second thought... The comments mention something about the drive having a 'high beeptone' of sorts... how is the noise from your drive?
[20:54] <vadim> I have next erro for Pidgin ... Gtk: gtk_widget_destroy: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
[20:54] <tavi> and i have had a lot of problems whitr that
[20:55] <maco> Lademord: i only use it for backups but i dont think its any noisier than my last backup drive
[20:55] <ubuntistas> any clue why i cannot watch videos at apple's site?
[20:55] <dragon> dotblank: redirect stderr to stdout, and pipe normally - http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html
[20:55] <tavi> ibuclaw: 4d acceleration enabled and running
[20:55] <tavi> 3d
[20:55] <ibuclaw> :|
[20:55] <maco> ubuntistas: because they block everything thats not quicktime. because they're jerks.
[20:55] <dragon> !enter | tavi
[20:55] <StupidWeasel> Humm, newbie question but is there a copy command that verifies the files have been copied correctly afterwards? A crc would be enough.
[20:55] <LinuX2half> Can someone help me with my internet connection glitch
[20:55] <ibuclaw> tavi, that is VERY VERY bad... you have a driver conflict occuring here.
[20:55] <maco> ubuntistas: you can use wget to download them if you give it a quicktime user agent string like "-U Quicktime/screwapple.0"
[20:56] <LinuX2half> last time I'm connected to the internet but I can't access it
[20:56] <StupidWeasel> Copying locally (ie: cp)
[20:56] <tavi> ibuclaw: dont know
[20:56] <tavi> the point is that even copunter strike i couldn't play
[20:56] <bobbycheetah> hello. anyone use blackberry with ubuntu?
[20:56] <tavi> and others games
[20:56] <tavi> and other games
[20:57] <ibuclaw> tavi, for the time being, uninstall nvidia.
[20:57] <tavi> what?
[20:57] <maco> ubuntistas: and then youd play it in totem or whatever video player you have
[20:57] <urthmover> if I'm going to have a very large /home what is the reccomended size for /
[20:57] <ibuclaw> tavi, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[20:57] <ubuntistas> maco any other solution
[20:57] <ibuclaw> tavi, sudo nvidia-uninstall
[20:57] <tavi> ibuclaw: no
[20:57] <urthmover> will have all the other mount points
[20:57] <IdleOne> urthmover: 10GB is plenty
[20:57] <tavi> i tried somethiong like that
[20:57] <urthmover> ok thanks Idle
[20:57] <tavi> severeal thimes
[20:58] <tavi> and didn;t work
[20:58] <maco> ubuntistas: this just started like 3 days ago, but there's a patch in existence to make gstreamer identify as quicktime. it hasnt been merged anywhere yet though
[20:58] <ubuntistas> how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot
[20:58] <ibuclaw> tavi, there is a way to install nvidia manually on Ubuntu ... I wrote a guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125400
[20:59] <dragon> StupidWeasel: `rsync` does this quite well. You can use -n option for a dry run, so it would only list the differences. Besides, `diff` might just solve your problem. Check  `man diff`
[20:59] <ibuclaw> tavi, trust me, ubuntu + nvidia does NOT play nice together if jockey is interfering with manually compiled drivers too.
[20:59] <StupidWeasel> Mmm yes I was thinking rsync might be the choice
[20:59] <dragon> tavi, you're making it hard to read the conversation. Can't you limit the use of the Enter key?
[20:59] <LinuX2half> wireless network available and "connected" but no internet access
[20:59] <DaZ> ibuclaw, ? ;o
[21:00] <HobbleAlong> Lademord: I use these; quiet, inexpensive and so far, reliable   -   http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX23454(ME).aspx
[21:00] <StupidWeasel> Thanks for the reply dragon :)
[21:00] <d0htem> i have some security updates, being held back, how can i find out what is keeping the updates back
[21:00] <MTeck> StupidWeasel: what are you tryin gto do?
[21:00] <ibuclaw> DaZ, what's up? :)
[21:00] <dragon> LinuX2half: are you able to ping? If not, could you paste the output of ifconfig in a pastebin?
[21:00] <dragon> StupidWeasel: no probs :)
[21:00] <merlin2049er> hey what's the root password for ubuntu?
[21:00] <tavi> ibuclaw: say to me what driver install that help?
[21:00] <MTeck> !root | merlin2049er
[21:00] <ubuntistas> how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> LinuX2half: can you ping www.bmezine,com, can you ping 38.99.130.180
[21:01] <kj4> merlin2049er: it's random
[21:01] <urthmover> is ext4 reccomended yet? or are there still data loss concerns?
[21:01] <Guest31434> maco: samsung mp3 portable player
[21:01] <brandon> Hello, for some reason sudo apt-get install will not download
[21:01] <MTeck> urthmover: Karmic will do new partitions with Ext4 by default
[21:01] <LinuX2half> dragon,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/259478/
[21:01] <HobbleAlong> merlin2049er: root is not set up by default;  use sudo <command>
[21:01] <brandon> any idea's why?
[21:01] <merlin2049er> ok , i've got vuze trying to install a plugin but it always fails (because the owner is root)
[21:01] <urthmover> ok thanks MTeck
[21:01] <MTeck> brandon: can you give us the output?
[21:01] <tavi> ibuclaw: nvidia glx new ? nvidia glx dev? cause neither one worked when i putted them
[21:01] <DaZ> ibuclaw, i'm was curious why they don't but now i think i've missed something <:
[21:01] <ibuclaw> tavi, 185 drivers are perfectly fine (I've tested them extensively, and now use the 190 drivers).  But if you want to install them, use the guide I posted.
[21:02] <dragon> LinuX2half: try to ping 192.168.0.1
[21:02] <tavi> ibuclaw: nvidia glx new ? nvidia glx dev? cause neither one worked when i putted them
[21:02] <MTeck> urthmover: I've been using it for a long time now - I consider it very stable
[21:02] <tavi> i had have bad resolution and other problems whit it
[21:02] <losher> urthmover: ext4 is safe enough for data. I don't recommend it yet though because it's harder to debug...
[21:02] <urthmover> ok I'll choose it thanks MTeck
[21:02] <brandon> MTeck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/259480/
[21:02] <ubuntistas> how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot?
[21:02] <SirStan> losher: when was the last time you "debugged" your filesystem?
[21:02] <urthmover> oh that makes sense losher
[21:02] <tavi> ibuclaw:  and others please remind where i spoked cause i go to eat
[21:02] <ibuclaw> DaZ, the nvidia driver is very temperamental :)
[21:03] <LinuX2half> ActionParsnip: yes right now but before its not responding
[21:03] <thingy> ibuclaw: that guide is pretty good!
[21:03] <DaZ> ibuclaw, mine isn't <:
[21:03] <dragon> brandon: which version of ubuntu?
[21:03] <Lademord> HobbleAlong, is it the same as this one? http://www.edbpriser.dk/Product/Details.aspx?sp=all&pid=491474
[21:03] <LinuX2half> dragon, yes it responded
[21:03] <losher> SirStan: every time someone comes on this channel saying "my system won't boot"...
[21:03] <Lademord> (second tab, 'Specifikationer', shows specs)
[21:03] <brandon> dragon: Ubuntu 9.04
[21:03] <ibuclaw> DaZ, it cannot cope with 2 installations of itself ... you get an API error ...
[21:03] <LinuX2half> Thats because I can access the internet right NOW but before its not working
[21:03] <brandon> oh nvm
[21:03] <brandon> i got it
[21:03] <dragon> LinuX2half: then you are connected to your router properly. Try navigating to 192.168.0.1 in a browser and see if the settings there help.
[21:04] <ubuntistas> how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot?
[21:04] <DaZ> i've never had two installations
[21:04] <brandon> i needed to use sudo apt-get update
[21:04] <ibuclaw> DaZ, lets say you compile 185 drivers, but libglx is still 180 because jockey changed the link.  Very Very bad :)
[21:04] <DaZ> one is enough usually <:
[21:04] <dragon> brandon: package xchat should be there, unless you disabled "universe" repository.
[21:04] <dragon> !info xchat
[21:04] <pisecx> hi, what is the most correct method to install e17?
[21:04] <HobbleAlong> Lademord: yes, that's the one.
[21:04] <ibuclaw> thingy, ty ... ;)
[21:04] <MTeck> brandon: You need to enable that repossitory
[21:04] <pisecx> I have found a lot of different manuals and each of them contain at least one error
[21:04] <Lademord> Thanks, and there'
[21:04] <IdleOne> pisecx: there are instructions on enlightenment.org
[21:05] <brandon> MTeck: i did sudo apt-get update and it works now thank-you.
[21:05] <Lademord> HobbleAlong, Thanks, and there's no loud beeptones you say?
[21:05] <ibuclaw> pisecx, I recommend installing an Ubuntu derivative OS
[21:05] <LinuX2half> dragon, ummm I'm not sure about editing the settings because I'm a novice with routers and last time my parents had to restore the settings
[21:05] <MTeck> brandon: oh - I guess it moved repos then - ok
[21:05] <DaZ> ibuclaw, i usually package them before installing,anyway, now i know why it doesn't work like it should for some, thx <:
[21:05] <pisecx> ibuclaw: what is it?
[21:05] <ubuntistas> how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot?
[21:05] <ubuntistas> how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot?
[21:05] <dragon> LinuX2half: ouch! don't change the settings then. Are other computers connected to the internet?
[21:05] <ubuntistas> how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot?
[21:05] <pisecx> ibuclaw: just a different ubuntu distribution?
[21:05] <FloodBot2> ubuntistas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:05] <ibuclaw> pisecx, yes
[21:06] <dragon> !troll | ubuntistas
[21:06] <ibuclaw> pisecx, ie: OpenGEU http://opengeu.intilinux.com/Download.html
[21:06] <MTeck> !patience | ubuntistas
[21:06] <ewsubach> anyone know of software that is able to make error correcting codes when you burn cds?
[21:06] <LinuX2half> dragon yes, we share the router with the neighbors
[21:06] <ibuclaw> pisecx, or MoonOS: http://www.moonos.co.cc/
[21:07] <pisecx> ibuclaw: looking video now. can I get the same effect just installing e17 on ubuntu?
[21:07] <thingy> ewsubach:  dvdisaster (http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/dvdisaster-1087.shtml)
[21:07] <ibuclaw> pisecx, I think that both OS's are still running on Intrepid though ... OpenGEU doesn't seems that active ... and MoonOS is currently planning on what to do for it's Jaunty version.
[21:07] <dragon> LinuX2half: are you able to see the router's interface when you go to http://192.168.0.1/ ?
[21:07] <losher> ewsubach: um, something like dvdisaster (www.dvdisaster.com)?
[21:07] <ibuclaw> pisecx, yes ... but that takes quite a bit of configuring
[21:07] <pisecx> ibuclaw: hm
[21:07] <pisecx> ibuclaw: what should I configure?
[21:07] <ibuclaw> pisecx, if you don't know your way around e17, you can get lost very easily
[21:08] <ubuntistas> how can i enable chromium's videos with command i forgot?
[21:08] <ewsubach> thingy, losher: thanks, exacrly what i wanted :)

[21:08] <ibuclaw> pisecx, I'm not the one to ask. I've only used e17 on LiveCDs to see how it is doing.
[21:08] <nh2> hi, is there a PPA for newer fglrx drivers for jaunty?
[21:08] <pisecx> ibuclaw: any way, thanks for the link

[21:08] <NSR> can sum1 help me make windows drivers work on linux?
[21:08] <ibuclaw> pisecx, MoonOS is probably the better one to look into.
[21:08] <ibuclaw> (at least, for the time being)
[21:09] <LinuX2half> dragon, yes I see the login and password box

[21:09] <HobbleAlong> Lademord: All is pretty quiet, I have about 16 of them (some older models) in the room with me right now, and no insanity has shown up (that I know of) :)yet.
[21:09] <MTeck> !ndiswrapper | NSR
[21:09] <merlin2049er> i want to copy over some files over to a folder owned by root
[21:09] <suigeneris> !ndiswrapper | NSR
[21:09] <merlin2049er> what's the best way to do that?
[21:09] <g0thca> hey guys, noob question here, how can i compile from ubuntu?
[21:09] <Lademord> Cool. I'll try it then
[21:09] <sopel> JOIN #Poznan
[21:09] <g0thca> like if i wanted to compile screen from ports like in freebsd
[21:09] <sopel> :P
[21:09] <merlin2049er> compile what
[21:10] <thingy> merlin2049er: in gui or on the command line (sudo cp source dest) ?
[21:10] <MTeck> NSR: You can use that for other drivers as well iirc
[21:10] <dragon> LinuX2half: then you're connected to the router properly. Is the router really connected to the internet? Are there any rules in the router blocking unauthorized machines? based on the mac addresses?
[21:10] <maco> g0thca: umm well you can still get source tarballs and do the usual ./configure && make && sudo make install
[21:10] <merlin2049er> what are u compiling?
[21:10] <sopel> halo"
[21:10] <sopel> ??
[21:10] <minche> join #amarok
[21:10] <maco> g0thca: but ubuntu uses binary packages, unlike ports
[21:10] <cornet> g0thca: everything is pre-built binaries
[21:10] <dragon> g0thca: download the program you wish to compile, and check their README file, usually included in the package.
[21:10] <g0thca> i dont have anything in mind now to compile.. maybe 'screen' ... i just started using ubuntu
[21:10] <NSR> tht'll work with smartnav?
[21:11] <sopel> servlist
[21:11] <g0thca> alright ill do that
[21:11] <cornet> g0thca: jsut run sudo apt-get install screen
[21:11] <dragon> !packages | g0thca
[21:11] <maco> g0thca: why do you want to compile instead of just using the binary packages?
[21:11] <digitalbuddy> ubottu: the problem of gray icon fixed .. but there is another problem when i sign up its says sign up failed there was a network problem while signing up for your account .. please check your network configuration or try again later
[21:11] <maco> digitalbuddy: thats a bot
[21:11] <LinuX2half> dragon, yes if it isn't then the neighbors will complain and I don't know about the rules or anything because my parents are a novice as well so they wouldn't dare to change anything
[21:11] <g0thca> apt-get
[21:11] <MTeck> Why can I not burn a 4.4GB iso to a 4.7GB DVD......
[21:11] <g0thca> thats similar to pkg_add for example?
[21:12] <maco> g0thca: yes
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> MTeck: does the ISO MD5 check as OK?
[21:12] <g0thca> maco, well, im just asking still =)
[21:12] <maco> g0thca: or ummm hmm like pkg-get on solaris? or yum on fedora/redhat
[21:12] <g0thca> i ssh'd earlier to my ubuntu and wanted to install screen but didnt know how to, thats why im asking
[21:12] <MTeck> ActionParsnip: it looks good - i created the iso myself though
[21:12] <digitalbuddy> maco: whats a bot?
[21:12] <maco> digitalbuddy: ubottu isnt a human
[21:13] <maco> digitalbuddy: ubottu is a computer that says things when we say certain codewords
[21:13] <losher> MTeck: because there is overhead which takes up space. In practice, the usable space is nearer to 4.3GB
[21:13] <urthmover> MTeck: hmm I'm doing a fresh install of jaunty64 and choosing 10240MB for the size of /  I get an error message saying its too small.  What is the minimum HD size I can set / to?
[21:13] <ubuntistas> any clue why i cannot watch videos at apple's site?
[21:13] <LinuX2half> dragon, I suspect that other people in my neighborhood knew the password and accessing it but my parents only tell the password within this house so........I don't think the router would be much of a problem in this case
[21:13] <ibuclaw> ubuntistas, they are most likely in .mov (or quicktime) format
[21:13] <maco> ubuntistas: i already explained to you
[21:13] <maco> ibuclaw: no, they check the user agent
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> !ics > ActionParsnip
[21:14] <digitalbuddy> maco: can you help me
[21:14] <maco> ibuclaw: started blocking everything thats not quicktime a few days ago
[21:14] <mbrigdan> Is there a program I could use to remove a certain string from a larger block of text
[21:14] <thingy> ubuntistas: you enabled plugins in chronium and for example youtube works but apply movies doesn't? be more specific in the question
[21:14] <ibuclaw> maco, oh really ? :O
[21:14] <thingy> apple*
[21:14] <urthmover> I'm doing a fresh install of jaunty64 and choosing  10240MB for the size of /  I get an error message saying its too  small.  What is the minimum HD size I can set / to?
[21:14] <ubuntistas> thingy yeah apple videos doesn't work in firefox and chromium
[21:14] <maco> urthmover: 10gb should work fine. ive installed ubuntu on a 5gb hard drive before
[21:15] <colben23> test
[21:15] <thingy> ubuntistas: umm have you tried installing vlc...because I know that vlc's firefox plugin plays apple movies fine!
[21:15] <maco> thingy, ubuntistas: its not a codec issue. apple is BLOCKING requests from everything but quicktime
[21:15] <MTeck> urthmover: that would be 10GB - that should be plenty..
[21:15] <thingy> maco: oh
[21:15] <thingy> maco: darn them!
[21:15] <digitalbuddy> anybody can help me with my skype problem
[21:16] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, maybe?
[21:16] <maco> thingy, ubuntistas: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9cmj6/no_more_applecom_movie_trailers_for_linux_users/
[21:16] <MTeck> urthmover: I use 150MB for /boot, 2GB for swap, 10GB for /, and rest for /home for my default setup
[21:16] <maco> thingy, ubuntistas: top comment on there shows how you can download the .mov and watch it locally
[21:16] <LinuX2half> dragon, this kind of occurrence happens twice but I resolved it by re-connecting my wireless connections but this time its longer I restart my computer but its the same result, no connection even though my computer said its connected in some way. Then I shut down the computer and wait for a few minutes. So then the internet really starts working just like now.
[21:16] <ubuntistas> yup i have a lot of plugins in firefox thingy i have vlc plugins too which do i have to enable that has not  to interfere with other plugins and make a problem?
[21:17] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: when i sign up its says sign up failed there was a network problem while signing up for your account .. please check your network configuration or try again later
[21:17] <jiohdi> I have a seperate partition... its now mounted to /home  but I cannot tell what is actually on it... how do I see it directly like a folder?
[21:17] <dob1> hi, it's save to install jaunty with ext4 fs ?
[21:17] <MTeck> losher: that really really sucks - that's massive overhead... thanks
[21:17] <dob1> *safe
[21:17] <mickster04> dob1, i have:D
[21:17] <thingy> ubuntistas: as maco says you will need to download an addon for firefox(easier this way) to change your useragent and then apple movies should work. the other way is mess with the firefox preferences settings
[21:17] <urthmover> dob1: yes
[21:18] <MTeck> dob1: I consider it to be
[21:18] <dob1> ok thanks
[21:18] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, and what have you tried to do to fix it?
[21:18] <R-C-M> hey folks, i'm trying to rebuild my /etc/group file, could someone pm me an example of theirs (provided they haven't customised it), or the one from the livecd (am currently in a net cafe so can't download it myself)
[21:18] <losher> MTeck: it is what it is. The rest is marketing doublespeak...
[21:18] <maco> thingy: im not sure if changing ff's UA would do it though. its gstreamer's UA that needs to be patched to wokr
[21:18] <mbrigdan> Is there a program I could use to remove a certain string from a larger block of text?
[21:18] <HobbleAlong> MTeck: Manufacturers call a K 1000 bytes. OS's usually call a K 1024 bytes.  Manufactures like to lie about sizes 'cause it makes for better sales pitches.
[21:19] <thingy> maco: yeah..it would depend on what plugin handles the incoming stream/object
[21:19] <mermshaus> Hi! I'm looking for a remotely efficient way to capture 3D output (like a 3D game played under wine).  The best I can get is about 20 FPS at a resolution of roughly 450x330 px using xvidcap. Any ideas how to do this "right"? Thanks
[21:19] <MTeck> HobbleAlong: I forgot that part... I wish they didn't try to scam us like that
[21:20] <ibuclaw> mermshaus, gtkrecordmydesktop
[21:21] <thingy> R-C-M: here's my group file on a new install of ubuntu 9.04 http://paste.ubuntu.com/259484/
[21:21] <Guest39084> olá pessoal, preciso de ajuda
[21:21] <losher> !pt | Guest39084
[21:21] <ibuclaw> mermshaus, gtk-recordmydesktop , sorry :)
[21:22] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: clicking try again icon
[21:22] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: it shows p2p connect failed
[21:23] <Hydrid> how to right from one location to another in the same disk cause when i am trying to write in a folder that i want it says to me that i dont have permision.Ok how i do it without using the terminal?
[21:23] <R-C-M> thingy: Cheers, i'll try copying that over
[21:23] <ibuclaw> Hydrid, press Alt+F2
[21:23] <thingy> R-C-M: you will need to modify it ofcourse!!!
[21:23] <Hydrid> ok
[21:23] <mermshaus> ibuclaw: Thank you. Do you have any experience doing sth like that? I'm asking because I am not sure whether these "screencast" applications are able to record 3D at all. (Sry, I'm not familiar at all with this kind of stuff. :))
[21:23] <ibuclaw> Hydrid, then type in:   gksudo nautilus
[21:24] <popey> mermshaus: they can certainly record the desktop with compiz effects enabled, so can do 3d
[21:24] <popey> mermshaus: whether they can keep up with a fast moving game is another thing
[21:24] <Hydrid> and what that means ibuclaw?:)
[21:24] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: it shows p2p connect failed
[21:25] <Hydrid> that i run the application with sudo priviliges just for this time?
[21:25] <ibuclaw> Hydrid, gksudo is like "sudo" (for the terminal). But it loads a GUI prompt for your password.
[21:25] <Akram> Hi
[21:25] <ibuclaw> Hydrid, correct :)
[21:25] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, sorry, ermm have u allowed p2p ports thru your router?
[21:25] <Hydrid> :) thanks
[21:25] <Akram> I have a problem with iconv
[21:25] <thingy> mermshaus: another option for you is glc: http://nullkey.ath.cx/projects/glc/
[21:25] <Akram> it keeps giving "iconv: illegal input sequence at position"
[21:26] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: how to do that?
[21:26] <Akram> help please
[21:26] <mbrigdan> Is there a program I could use to remove a certain string from a larger block of text?
[21:26] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, er.. well how are u connected to the internet
[21:26] <asg> mbrigdan: sed
[21:26] <ibuclaw> mbrigdan, sed :D
[21:26] <ibuclaw> or perl ...
[21:26] <Akram> iconv help please?
[21:27] <ibuclaw> Akram, what are you typing in?
[21:27] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: wireless linksys router
[21:27] <losher> mbrigdan: or your favourite text editor...
[21:27] <ibuclaw> Akram, .... to receive that error
[21:27] <mbrigdan> asg, ibuclaw: Example? I've never used sed before. Or perl. I like python.
[21:27] <Akram>  iconv -f utf8 -t ascii//TRANSLIT file.txt
[21:27] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, well log into the router using your internet browser and see if there are any security items mentioning p2p?
[21:27] <mickster04> im not sure basically
[21:27] <ibuclaw> mbrigdan,   sed 's/match/replace/g' filename
[21:28] <Akram> it stops from the point it encounters accented character
[21:28] <mbrigdan> ibuclaw: Thx :)
[21:28] <ibuclaw> mbrigdan, to remove the text:    sed 's/match//g' filename
[21:28] <thingy> Akram: are you sure the file TANSLIT is a proper utf8 file?
[21:28] <Akram> well yes
[21:28] <Akram> how can i check?
[21:28] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, do you use any torrenting software because that uses p22p too
[21:28] <ibuclaw> mbrigdan, pipe the output to a new file to check for integrity of data.
[21:28] <mickster04> p2p*
[21:28] <thingy> Akram: can you see the bom character sequence at the start of the file?
[21:28] <maximo__> any1 has any preference for keyboards ...that works nice with Ubuntu?
[21:28] <mermshaus> thingy: Thanks. "inspired by Fraps" sounds promising.
[21:29] <thingy> Akram: whats the output of "file TRANSLIT"
[21:29] <LinuX2half> dragon, are you there?
[21:29] <Akram> it is ascii
[21:29] <thingy> Akram: well there you go
[21:29] <Akram> no no
[21:29] <Akram> the file contains just this "Université de Sétif"
[21:30] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: do i use? yes i use transmission bittorrent client am i using it now? no am not
[21:30] <thingy> Akram: let me read the iconv man page...to understand what your command line does...paste it again please
[21:30] <Akram>  iconv -f utf8 -t ascii//TRANSLIT file.txt
[21:30] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, well if it works then there is something else the problem
[21:31] <LinuX2half> I want to ask can anyone expound to me what happened to my network connection, it seemed that there's no access to the internet connection even though I'm connected to my wireless network
[21:31] <Akram> iconv should be converting the accented chars to its nearest ascii equivilant
[21:31] <thingy> Akram: so your telling iconv that your inputfile "file.txt" is utf8 and you want to conver that into ASCII?
[21:31] <Entelin> has anyone used unison? I am wondering if theres a way to make it sync in only one direction (similar to rsync) as opposed to 2 ?
[21:31] <thingy> Akram: also, paste the output of "file file.txt"
[21:32] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> Hello, can anybody give me a link to a guide to install Ubuntu from Hard Disk iso images instead of dvd/cds
[21:32] <HobbleAlong> Akram: the a in ascii means *American* - there are no accented characters in american english so there is no direct conversion.
[21:32] <dAnon> is there any program that actually works like deamon tools, or all I can hear is "buy an orginal cd"?
[21:33] <thingy> LinuX2half: do simple tests...1. can you ping your wireless network(a machine on it) 2. can you ping the internet ip 4.2.2.2    3. can you ping www.google.com ?
[21:33] <Akram> yes.. so it should convert é to e right
[21:33] <HeitorFerreira> #zagaia
[21:33] <LinuX2half> thingy, yes I can but that doesn't work when I'm not connected the internet even though I'm "connected"
[21:33] <thingy> Akram: "file file.txt"
[21:34] <Akram> thingy: it is file.txt: ISO-8859 text
[21:34] <thingy> LinuX2half: huh?
[21:34] <genii> !install | sh4d3sl4y3r_
[21:34] <genii> sh4d3sl4y3r_: See the last link the bot provides
[21:34] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> lemme see
[21:34] <thingy> Akram: so why are you telling iconv that its utf8 ?
[21:34] <Akram> ok so it should be UTF-8
[21:34] <thingy> Akram: no
[21:34] <erUSUL> Akram: try ASCII with capital letters
[21:34] <Akram> yes.. i got it.. 1 sec
[21:35] <palin1441> I have a problem with my network in ubuntu. I've tried some forums but to no avail.
[21:35] <Akram> erUSUL tried that
[21:35] <erUSUL> Akram: iconv -f utf8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT file.txt
[21:35] <LinuX2half> thingy, right now when I type ping www.google.com it responded but last time it doesn't even though I'm connected to my wireless connection. Like I'm connected but can't access the internet
[21:35] <thingy> erUSUL/Akram: but the files not utf8 so iconv is not going to like it
[21:35] <erUSUL> Akram: works here with a korean file from the kernel docs... (i get all ?? though ;P)
[21:35] <mickster04>  LinuX2half try traceroute?
[21:36] <Akram> iconv: conversion from `ISO-8859' is not supported
[21:36] <Akram> now when i try iconv -f ISO-8859 -t ascii//TRANSLIT file.txt
[21:36] <Akram> iconv: conversion from `ISO-8859' is not supported
[21:36] <LinuX2half> mickster04, so I type in traceroute on the terminal?
[21:36] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: there is an option in my router called single port forwarding? there are apps like http ftp telnet pop3 and their in and out ports and their protocols and their ip addresses they are all unchecked are they useful in solving the problem?
[21:36] <palin1441> when I run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" I get "send_packet: Network is unreachable
[21:37] <Akram> can i convert the files contant encoding to utf8 so then when i file file.txt it shodul show utf8??
[21:37] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> genii:thanks .my scenario is my notebook cdrom is not working well and cant read half of my written cd's. and i have an existing debian installation
[21:37] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> so i was planning this method
[21:37] <palin1441> and also "SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied"
[21:37] <LinuX2half> mickster04, I need to install the packages first
[21:37] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, i dunno, seeing as you can use p2p for other programs there is sumat else wrong?
[21:38] <mickster04> LinuX2half, system>admin>network tools?
[21:38] <thingy> Aram: try: "iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t ascii//TRANSLIT file.txt"
[21:38] <genii> sh4d3sl4y3r_: The method described there uses a Windows-centric method. But you can also use same principle if you have a FAT partition to put the iso on and feel OK editing the grub configs
[21:38] <Sirisian|Work__> It's possible to install multiple versions of python at the same time right? I have python2.6 installed on a server but when I use a certain piece of software it breaks. If I install python2.5 will it know to use that version?
[21:38] <sh4d3sl4y3r_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux this link seemed to help so i wil try this out
[21:39] <palin1441> when I run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" I get "send_packet: Network is unreachable" and also "SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied". How can I daignose the problem?
[21:39] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: where is the problem then?
[21:39] <LinuX2half> mickster04, is 192.168.0.1 an correct address or do I need to add http://?
[21:39] <calipso> i have a rather large non gziped tar archive of 40 gigs (backup) when i do tar -xvo backupfile ./ it just sits there hardly using any cpu? any ideas?
[21:39] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, no idea. just try using a tirrenting program...that may help more?
[21:39] <thingy> palin1441: connecting via Wireless  or ethernet?
[21:39] <palin1441> thingy, via ethernet
[21:39] <mickster04> LinuX2half, well thats not google? u want to tracertoute google.com?
[21:40] <floating> hey guise. How would ubuntu support an old P2 400mhz 128MB ram with matrox G200 graphics card. I'm thinking of installing karmic alpha xubuntu
[21:40] <erUSUL> calipso: what is the ./ for ?
[21:40] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: what is tirrenting program?
[21:40] <palin1441> thingy: via ethernet
[21:40] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, torrenting...that uses the same system as skype to connect...
[21:40] <calipso> erUSUL, current dir?
[21:40] <thingy> palin1441: lspci | grep Ethernet <--- output?
[21:41] <erUSUL> calipso: then is --> tar -xvo backupfile -C ./ <-- or just omit it becouse by default tar extracts in current dir
[21:41] <simran> what is the difference between adobe-flashplugin  and... adobe-flashplugin
[21:41] <calipso> erUSUL, ok ill try thanks
[21:42] <thingy> calipso: also, doesn't tar need a -f parameter i.e. tar xvf filename.tar
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> simran: same, you have named the same thing
[21:42] <digitalbuddy> mickster04: how is that related to skype if then could it solve the problem?
[21:42]  * mickster04 is off now tara
[21:42] <ozzloy> hey is there a way to read exchange calendars in ubuntu?
[21:42] <calipso> thingy, i tried that already
[21:42] <erUSUL> calipso: thingy exactly f is missing
[21:42] <stinky> Could someone please suggest a "tea timer" application that is not dependant on gnome or kde? thanks :D
[21:42] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, basically they would both break. they both use p2p to conncet to the internet if one works then they should both work.
[21:42] <simran> ActionParsnip: its just that this one tut tells u to remove the adobe on and install the later one
[21:42] <erUSUL> calipso: then is --> tar -xvof backupfile -C ./
[21:42] <calipso> ok works now thanks
[21:42] <simran> ActionParsnip:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193567   this one
[21:42] <simran> ActionParsnip:  under flash optimization
[21:43] <HobbleAlong> simran: is that a trick question?
[21:43] <Cripps> is there a way to run a 32 bit ELF binary on a 64 bit system?
[21:43] <Cripps> ... I don't have access to the source code.
[21:43] <Aciago> hi
[21:43] <mickster04> digitalbuddy, im gona have to o now sorry, ask around again
[21:43] <erUSUL> Cripps: just install ia32-libs
[21:43] <LinuX2half1> mickster04 I just got disconnected
[21:43] <erUSUL> !info ia32-libs
[21:43] <palin1441> thingy: did you get the output I sent?
[21:43] <LinuX2half> mickster04 again\
[21:43] <Cripps> erUSUL, hm ... I thought I did have them installed, but I'll double check
[21:43] <LinuX2half> mickster04, don't know why
[21:44] <LinuX2half> mickster04 so far it had no reply on the address
[21:44] <dajhorn> stinky: `at`?
[21:44] <thingy> palin1441: oops didn't notice it one sec
[21:44] <Cripps> erUSUL, yeah, I already have them installed. How would I specify to start the executable with the 32 bit libs instead of 64?
[21:45] <thingy> palin1441: ok you got two nics in that box...which one do you want to use?
[21:45] <palin1441> thingy: the on-board one. I'm pretty sure it is eth0
[21:45] <erUSUL> Cripps: it should "just work (tm)" not that i have run many 32 bit binaries in ubuntu but i did run a couple of games
[21:45] <stinky> I have a dentist appointment today, I neeed an alarm to make sure I dont miss it :D
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Cripps: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[21:46] <erUSUL> Cripps: and doing « ./binary » just worked
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> stinky: you can use the at command
[21:46] <Cripps> ActionParsnip, already done.
[21:46] <usser__> stinky: cron job for cat /dev/dsp :) always nice to wake up to some white noise
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> Cripps: then you can force install a deb and it will run, you will need to satisfy its 32bit deps too
[21:46] <smogattack> I get this message for firefox- Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system, but I don't have another browser open. How can I restart/kill the firefox process?

[21:48] <Hydrid> i am using alt+f2 nad after the word nautilus to run it as sudo and copy a folder i want to another but it continues not to give me the paste command
[21:48] <MTeck> smogattack: that's not something you want to run - kill -9 is only when you absolutely can't stop seomthing yourself
[21:48] <palin1441> thingy: when I say on board, I mean the SiS network card

[21:50] <spycode> How can I enable stereo recording in ALSA?
[21:50] <palin1441> thingy: eth0 is the SiS network card
[21:51] <Cripps> ActionParsnip, owner is "u" which is the first three bits (following the filetype bit)
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> spycode: no but if you use caps then you will most likely find no one will help
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> Cripps: chmod o+x ./file
[21:51] <smogattack> MTeck, yes, that worked! thanks
[21:51] <spycode> ActionParsnip, sorry :( i'm not using anymore
[21:51] <smogattack> MTeck, what does that command do?
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> spycode: thats cool, maybe someone can advise
[21:51] <Cripps> ActionParsnip, "o" is "other" ... for "other users" (man chmod)

[21:51] <spycode> How can I enable stereo recording in ALSA? someone can help?
[21:51] <ibuclaw> tavi, if you want nvidia to work, you are going to have to do a clean purge. then reinstall them again
[21:52] <floating> how can I find out if matrox g200 is supported by linux, ubuntu
[21:52] <stinky> thanks ActionParsnip , and usser_   :)
[21:52] <stylist> Supersaiyan_IV http://www.google.com
[21:52] <Cripps> spycode, patience. Nobody has answered your question yet because they don't know. You don't need to re-ask your question every 3 minutes. Also, try starting at the alsa wiki.
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Cripps: if you just use +x on its own, any group with read access will be given execute access, if its marked as executable then it should be runnable. You are also doing it right with the ./ notation so the $PATH is ignored
[21:52] <ibuclaw> tavi, this means temporarily switching to failsafe vesa driver while you get it setup again.
[21:52] <MTeck> smogattack: killall kills any processes that are running with that name, kill will do the same but based on a pid. If you add -9 it doesn't let the process clean up after itself the system just kills it in a very horrible way
[21:53] <spycode> I want to record my songs with audacity in stereo channel... but I only can see one side of stereo being used... the other is just muted...
[21:53] <spycode> Cripps, I've already tried :(
[21:53] <smogattack> MTeck, oh, i see.
[21:53] <Hydrid> ibuclaw i run alt+f2 nautilus and try to copy in /var/www a folder but it doesnt give me the paste command
[21:53] <smogattack> MTeck, thanks! I learned something new today
[21:53] <Cripps> spycode, tried what?
[21:53] <Supersaiyan_IV> stylist, ok, maybe if I put it this way i have done sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart and edited my sysctl to forward ipv4 traffic

[21:53] <spycode> isn't a audacity problem MTeck
[21:53] <Cripps> ActionParsnip, no joy. Exact same results.
[21:53] <Supersaiyan_IV> stylist, yet it does not work, can you pinpoint me to something that works?
[21:54] <spycode> because I'm using COol Edit Pro 2.1 with Wine
[21:54] <spycode> and it seems to have the same problem MTeck
[21:54] <MTeck> spycode: ubuntuforums.com - nobody in here knows the answer for you
[21:54] <Cripps> spycode, why would you do something like that?
[21:54] <Sirisian|Work> fynn, why is it when you try to uninstall python2.6 it tries to remove all the other packages associated with it. I have python2.5. Is there a way to only uninstall one package?
[21:54] <spycode> Cripps, something like what?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> Cripps: try: sh ./file
[21:54] <Sirisian|Work> -fynn
[21:54] <Supersaiyan_IV> stylist, if you say google.com again i will ask you to stfu
[21:54] <Cripps> ActionParsnip, sh has trouble parsing the ELF data ;)

[21:55] <Cripps> spycode, running cool edit under wine.
[21:55] <R-C-M> My problems are getting worse. I've just rebuilt my /etc/group file from example, which allowed my system to boot into console. I've just had to add a group called gdm to allow it to get into the normal login screen. However, now my keyboard and touchpad are completely unresponsive, not even my caps lock key will light up.

[21:55] <palin1441> thingy: did you get the printout?
[21:55] <LinuX2half> hey, I want to ask why I can't access the internet when I'n connected to my wireless network
[21:55] <ibuclaw> Hydrid, go to directory/file you want to copy in the root nautilus window, then copy + paste into /var/www.
[21:55] <Sirisian|Work> MTeck, but some of these I recognize and they work fine with python2.5.
[21:55] <spycode> Cripps, because its better than Audacity
[21:55] <spycode> Cripps, and it runs perfectly
[21:55] <Cripps> spycode, if you say so.
[21:55] <floating> erUSUL: that means there is a driver by default, or that I might have to install it myself? :x
[21:55] <spycode> Cripps, the problem with stereo is with ALSA or something else in linux sound configuration
[21:56] <thingy> palin1441: I did
[21:56] <MTeck> Sirisian|Work: first install 2.5, then see what happens if you try to remove 2.6
[21:56] <Sirisian|Work> I did
[21:56] <Cripps> spycode, either way, there is a staggering amount of information on the ALSA wiki ... if you can't find the answer there, then you're 1) not looking hard enough or 2)not reading
[21:56] <thingy> palin1441: is it easier for you to speak to me in a priv msg on do you want to talk on the channel?
[21:56] <LinuX2half> hey, I want to ask why I can't access the internet when I'n connected to my wireless network
[21:56] <palin1441> thingy: private channel is better
[21:56] <spycode> Cripps, ok... I'll try to google I little more
[21:56] <erUSUL> floating: there is one by default.
[21:56] <MTeck> LinuX2half: can you ping the router?
[21:56] <Cripps> spycode, unless, of course, you're assuming it's an alsa problem when it's not actually an alsa problem.
[21:56] <Sirisian|Work> it still wants to take a bunch of packages that I use happily with 2.5 on another server. I think 2.6 is breaking this python software I use so I just wanted to see, but it looks like I can't remove it easily.
[21:57] <spycode> hehe
[21:57] <LinuX2half> Mteck, yes
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Cripps: bah
[21:57] <floating> erUSUL: okizz t
[21:57] <Cripps> ActionParsnip, yeah, you're telling me :/
[21:57] <MTeck> LinuX2half: what happens if you dig google.com
[21:57] <erUSUL> floating: http://linux.die.net/man/4/mga
[21:59] <floating> nice nice, i'll save that url 4 later

[22:01] <MTeck> LinuX2half: then you're getting to the internet just fine...
[22:01] <LinuX2half> Mteck, I think that it had no internet activity when I'm connected
[22:01] <erUSUL> nixor: no; but it looks like a terminator bug
[22:01] <MindVirus> Hello. Computer Janitor is asking me to remove things that I know are required. What do I do?
[22:01] <nixor> erUSUL: it seems to happen with standard terminal also
[22:01] <LinuX2half> Mteck, I'm afraid that it might happen again.
[22:01] <floating> aa yeu ok erusul
[22:02] <MTeck> LinuX2half: it could have been a fluke it wasn't working - no reason to worry now
[22:02] <erUSUL> nixor: ? very weird then
[22:02] <trothigar> anybody know if one has to make any concessions when running dual screen in jaunty using nvidia proprietary drivers?
[22:02] <LinuX2half> Mteck, why a network doesn't emit any internet activity? Is it because too much computers are stealing the bandwith
[22:02] <erUSUL> nixor: if you do "reset" does it "fix" it
[22:03] <trothigar> i.e. does compiz and 3d work?
[22:03] <MTeck> LinuX2half: I'd have to have been there to investigate it
[22:03] <blip-> hi all,  I'm running 8.10 for a long time and have all my configs made etc...   do you think it's worth updating to 9.04 ?
[22:03] <LinuX2half> Mteck, so had you found out any reason why?
[22:03] <MTeck> LinuX2half: don't worry unless it happens again
[22:03] <blip-> I'm guessing it's stable enough by now
[22:03] <trothigar> blip-, have a look at the jaunty release notes
[22:03] <wildc4rd> evening all
[22:03] <MindVirus> blip-: 9.04 comes with a host of new features. If you're happy with the features you have now, keep 8.10.
[22:03] <blip-> I don't want to upgrade, I'd rather do a clean install and copy over the configs
[22:04] <LetsGo67> Hello.  I want to hear my microphone.  How do I do it in Ubuntu?
[22:04] <MindVirus> Hello. Computer Janitor is asking me to remove things that I know are required. What do I do?
[22:04] <zamba> i need a program to translate .po files
[22:04] <MTeck> blip-: I'm on 9.10 :P
[22:04] <trothigar> MindVirus, panic :P
[22:04] <LinuX2half> Mteck, well today I restarted the computer 2 times maybe 3 and it doesn't help but then shut it down. Restarted it and so it worked how come?
[22:04] <blip-> MindVirus: the release notes just talks about bugs   and issues  http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904
[22:04] <trothigar> MindVirus, just don't remove them?
[22:05] <MTeck> LinuX2half: it could have been a massive range of things - too hard to pinpoint without the issue being there
[22:05] <MindVirus> trothigar: Steps to reproduce: 1) Panic 2) Go on #ubuntu, ask for help 3) ...? 4) Profit!
[22:05] <Vinceman> how can you see in synaptic packet manager that a program is from Medibuntu?
[22:05] <blip-> Vinceman: maybe the package name would say
[22:05] <MindVirus> trothigar: I haven't. I just feel as if something in my computer is misconfigured.
[22:06] <MindVirus> As obviously Computer Janitor should not be asking to remove these things.
[22:06] <trothigar> Vinceman, right click the package and select properties
[22:06] <LinuX2half> Mteck, so like the router is crowded with massive objects that interrupted the signals and that leaves no internet activity?
[22:06] <trothigar> Vinceman, you should be able to tell by package maintainer
[22:06] <trothigar> MindVirus, what packages is it asking fo ryou to remove?
[22:07] <Armageddon> where is the file of the mirrors ?
[22:08] <Armageddon> where is the file of the mirrors ? where you have the deb mirrors and other ones
[22:08] <MindVirus> trothigar: earcandy, eeepc-config, gsynaptics-elantech, libpt*, linux-(headers-)eeepc-lean, nvidia-177-modaliases, rt2860-dkms.
[22:08] <MTeck> LinuX2half: Like I said - without it happening again, it's hard to track down
[22:08] <thingy> Armageddon: /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:08] <MindVirus> trothigar: many (or all) of which are from 3rd-party repos.
[22:08] <Armageddon> thingy: thank you
[22:08] <blip-> I want xfce as the DE but I also make use of some KDE and gnome programs, thus will have to get some dependencies for those.    In this case,  am I better off starting with Xubuntu or Kubuntu or Ubuntu as the base ?
[22:09] <trothigar> MindVirus, Have you removed the repos since?
[22:09] <MindVirus> trothigar: I hope not.
[22:09] <LinuX2half> Mteck, thanks for the help, if this happens again then I'll interrogate
[22:09] <erUSUL> blip-: xubuntu then install programs as you see fit

[22:10] <kj4> ok

[22:16] <KB1JWQ> spursncowboys: No such thing as a hard drive that isn't "linux compatible" in this day and age.
[22:16] <KB1JWQ> spursncowboys: But yeah, MTeck got it.  dd is your answer.
[22:16] <MTeck> KB1JWQ: yes there is.. - seldom though
[22:16] <MTeck> !dd
[22:16] <spursncowboys> DD is ok for noobs?

I have no linux installs, though when I boot into a liveCD (the loading phase fails often with ubuntu CDs so I use gentoo or knoppix LiveCD instead)--booting into a LiveCD doesn't allow me to see my partition table. Any ideas?

[22:26] <IdleOne> zamba try both and see which works best for you
[22:26] <erUSUL> zamba: i allways used emacs + po mode ;P
[22:26] <mikejet> There should just be a checkbox in the ether admin tool.
[22:26] <swayric> MTeck: I wouldn't think its CD drive, I've tried liveUSBs and get same problem. Could be motherboard, since its ASUS and thats a company I don't trust for quality. I have extra sata cables (sata cables is what you meant?) I could try it with other cables. If its the hard drive, then why can I still see the partition table in Windows?
[22:27] <zamba> erUSUL: what shortcut does it have to help you?
[22:27] <zamba> shortcuts*
[22:27] <jpds> !codenames | reinis
[22:27] <MTeck> swayric: I really don't know - sorry
[22:27] <erUSUL> zamba: a lot; can not remember them now
[22:27] <cc0> Say, does anyone know how to configure grub for Windows 7?
[22:27] <cc0> google is proving unhelpful
[22:28] <erUSUL> cc0: should be the same as any other windows
[22:28] <cc0> doesn't appear that way
[22:28] <cc0> at least it's not working here
[22:28] <MTeck> cc0: Grub just hands the boot process off to windows
[22:28] <cc0> rright, well I got the right partition and all, just as I did with Vista
[22:28] <cc0> it complains about a lacking bootmgr
[22:29] <swayric> MTeck: You couldn't guide me as far as commands to find out? hdparam -i? disconnecting sata drive while I'm booted into LiveCD and checking if certain parameters changed for io?
[22:29] <cc0> oh hm, just found something, seemd chainloader +4 is the trick
[22:29] <MTeck> swayric: don't disconnect anything while being booted - aside from that I really can't
[22:29] <anAngel> Hello. I have some problems configuring amavis. It doesn't scan/put any Headers in my mail. Anyone can help me?
[22:29] <swayric> MTeck: thanks anyway.
[22:30] <MTeck> !repeat | anAngel
[22:30] <guntbert> swayric: what do you mean by "the loading phase fails often with ubuntu CDs" ?
[22:30] <digitalbuddy> KB1JWQ: could you help me?
[22:30] <thingy> anAngel: your in luck...there is a #amavis channel on freenode! /join #amavis
[22:30] <KB1JWQ> digitalbuddy: Unlikely.  If you haven't forwarded the ports in your firewall/router, it's going to throw that error.
[22:31] <digitalbuddy> KB1JWQ: then how to fix it?
[22:31] <swayric> guntbert: when I tried booting off of many different versions of ubuntu live CDs they usually fail or freeze before I have a stable GUI to work with
[22:32] <KB1JWQ> digitalbuddy: Forward the ports in your router/firewall. Q.E.D.
[22:32] <swayric> guntbert: they also have freezed between 5 and 15 seconds after boot, perhaps depending on something I ran/clicked?
[22:32] <jatt> anybody got problems with pulse (in jaunty) and the internal microphone of dell laptops?
[22:32] <digitalbuddy> KB1JWQ: whats Q.E.D?
[22:33] <maco> jatt: internal mics are broken at the driver level almost across the board in jaunty
[22:33] <maco> jatt: get a mic and plug in
[22:33] <guntbert> swayric: I only know one reason for such behaviour (in many cases) - the burn went wrong or the iso was already corrupted - did you md5sum you images?
[22:33] <thingy> digitalbuddy: Have you read the Port Use paragraph of : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[22:33] <KB1JWQ> digitalbuddy: It's latin shorthand for quod erat demonstrandum. :-)  And no, that doesn't help you, but you might consult the documentation for your router to see how it works. :)
[22:34] <cc0> hmm, didn't work
[22:34] <jatt> maco: thanks looks that's the reason of all my issues, I've spent almost all afternon trying to make the the thing work. Will try with an external mic. Do you have a bug ID (in launchpad) for this problem?
[22:34] <swayric> guntbert: I have been using these particular isos/disks for years, and I treat my CDs with much care long term. I ran all of the md5 checks long ago, I'd fiugre they were alright.
[22:35] <maco> jatt: no i dont. upstrem ripped out that functionality to re-write it but it wasnt done by jaunty
[22:35] <maco> jatt: i just know this because i an audio maintainer told me
[22:35] <swayric> brb
[22:35] <guntbert> swayric: about what ubuntu versions are we talking then? (for years..., long ago...)
[22:36] <swayric> guntbert: 7.04, 7.10,8.04, 9.04 are the general versions.. ofc 9.04, 8.* may be exceptions
[22:36] <DrSatan> is there an ubuntu christian edition channel?
[22:37] <Vinceman> my send/receive mail button of Evolution mail is unpressable, what's going on, what could be the matter?
[22:37] <swayric> guntbert: I used to have a dapper 6.* but I seem to have misplaced it
[22:37] <swayric> ubuntu !christian?
[22:38] <swayric> so they need a christian ver to accomodate?
[22:38] <grkblood2> how do i boot into rescue mode off of a live cd with 9.04?
[22:38] <swayric> (! = opposite)
[22:38] <guntbert> !
[22:39] <swayric> grkblood2: I use a knoppix for rescuing.. but perhaps 9.04 does have such a rescue mode
[22:39] <DrSatan> is there an ubuntu christian edition channel?
[22:40] <bazhang> DrSatan, no.

[22:43] <cc0> so does anyone know how to fix the bootmgr missing error you get in grub when trying to boot windows 7? I got it after making the genius decision of installing win7 over my vista partition, I did fix the grub via a livecd, but it gives me the bootmgr missing error when trying to boot win7
[22:44] <guntbert> swayric: the thing is - people with problems to start the live CD are very few here

[22:46]  * knittl is away: Gone away for now
[22:46] <adamrichardson> question
[22:46] <swayric> guntbert: the liveCD issue with them freezing happened since I returned to ubuntu few days ago, though this issue with partition tables not being detected in fdisk, gparted, any linux installer.. it started after I <incorrectly> deleted a 9.04 ubuntu installation
[22:46] <MTeck> !away > knittl
[22:46] <sixdraw> if anyone knows would really appreciate it cause cant find solution on the forums - my problem: how do i allocate which applications go on which screen in ubuntu 9.04 using separate x screens as they only seem to load on one monitor or the other for me in seperate x mode
[22:47] <swayric> HA
[22:47] <swayric> score one for !ubuntu

[22:49] <Ingsoc> I am using mocp to play music from the terminal but when I change the voulme in mocp it also changes the overall system volume. Is there a way to seperate the mocp volume? Using pulse audio btw.

[22:51] <maxie> what the best software 2 use 2 becup??
[22:52] <bazhang> maxie, you mean backup?
[22:52] <kiaas_> Ok, so I was using firefox. I saved a picture, it froze, mouse got -very- sluggish, then the default Ubuntu theme that gnome has died, while gnome didn't. It reverted to being just plain old Gnome, it's grey, and has that similar look as windows 2k with the "buttons" on the bars.
[22:52] <maxie> xD yeah bazhang xD
[22:52] <Ingsoc> awesome
[22:52] <bazhang> !backup > maxie
[22:52] <Ingsoc> now back to the other question

[22:52] <R-C-M> question: how do I mount an sd card through command line?
[22:53] <R-C-M> I tried mount /dev/sdb /media/usbdisk that didnt work
[22:53] <zvacet> cih997 : when you establish connection  type in terminal   sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[22:53] <kiaas_> I fixed it, but what happened to cause it? (i changed to a different theme, then back)
[22:53] <cih997> zvacet: and what next?
[22:54] <Ingsoc> R-C-M: try /media/disk
[22:54] <digitalbuddy> KB1JWQ: it didn't help
[22:54] <Ingsoc> tno wait
[22:54] <Ingsoc> R-C-M: no wait
[22:54] <KB1JWQ> digitalbuddy: That's unfortuate.
[22:54] <zvacet> cih997 : nothing that should do no more manual changes
[22:55] <KB1JWQ> digitalbuddy: Go read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[22:55] <digitalbuddy> KB1JWQ: is there skype room in irc?
[22:55] <Ingsoc> R-C-M: try /media/disk1 thats where mine mounts

[22:56] <digitalbuddy> anybody: is there skype room in irc?
[22:56] <MTeck> digitalbuddy: no
[22:56] <R-C-M> ingsoc: doesnt work, when I list /media all i get is cdrom and cdrom0 and i dont even have a cdrom drive

[22:59] <maco> Guest25839: that means you didnt shut windows down properly or do the "safely eject" thing
[23:00] <Guest25839> maco: windows is now broken is ther a way to fixe this from linux?
[23:00] <Ingsoc> R-C-M: also are you specifing the fs type? ie: mount -t type device dir
[23:00] <maco> Guest25839: you cant run a chkdsk from linux, but if youre sure its not inconsistent, you can force the mount
[23:00] <Ingsoc> Guest25839: What is wrong with your MS install?
[23:00] <Ingsoc> Guest25839: Nevermind sorry

[23:02] <usser> br34l: yes, dgen is terminal only, there are some efforts to properly port gens to linux, google for gens for linux theres an ubuntu forum thread with packages with the latest versions
[23:02] <bazhang> karl_, #ubuntu+1 for that
[23:02] <Ingsoc> br34l: i think dgen is cli only but there maybe a way to run it from xmess or something
[23:03] <swimmingpool> hello!

[23:11] <swimmingpool> ok, thanks :)
[23:11] <maco> Guest25839: use gksudo nautilus
[23:11] <erUSUL> swimmingpool: it is not that easy... do not use your system do everything from a livecd if you can do an image of the partition holding yopur home and work on that image. then read all the docs ubottu told you
[23:11] <bazhang> jerriy, I understand, but there is likely no quick fix for your current set up; you can try to adapt/change it a bit or just be patient

[23:14] <MTeck> anAngel: You've been told multiple times where to go for help

How on earth is that possible?
[23:14] <erUSUL> swimmingpool: simple & nice way to recover everything <<< there is no such a thing... maybe things like photorec can do it. or the scripts in http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel
[23:15] <bazhang> jerriy, you installed from the package manager?
[23:15] <erUSUL> swimmingpool: again. do not touch the partition if you can adn rad up in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery

[23:16] <MTeck> bazhang: ?
[23:17] <Leo> There is no error messages on my issue. It just does not sounds. Because when I open the pulseaudio Volume it shows the audio is playing.
[23:17] <bazhang> MTeck, yes?
[23:17] <br34l> usser: im using 9.04 jaunty and sudo dpkg -i gens_*.deb wount work
[23:17] <MTeck> bazhang: I was waiting for that
[23:17] <Leo> Did someone got my message for my audio issue ?!?!?
[23:18] <jerknextdoor> I just upgraded to 9.04 a few weeks ago and no longer have permissions for one of my externals.
[23:18] <IdleOne> Leo:  Leo: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[23:19] <br34l> usser_: im using 9.04 jaunty and sudo dpkg -i gens_*.deb wount work
[23:20] <Guest57469> jerknextdoor, chown -R yourusername:yourusername /media/diskname ?
[23:20] <zenguy311> ikonia how do i copy the files to "/ " becuase is told me input/output error. I tried cp /Desktop/usr/ / and it didn't work
[23:21] <MTeck> bazhang: you need to install one at a time
[23:21] <MTeck> br34l: **
[23:21] <superbird> Greeting all-new to this area
[23:21] <bazhang> MTeck, install what
[23:21] <MTeck> bazhang: wrong person, sorry
[23:22] <jerknextdoor> Guest57469: tried to 777 but still didnt work.  for some reason when i just did it in the GUI via nautilus it might have worked.  checking that right now

[23:23] <user__> hi! is there a way to make a system backup - but NOT the actual binaries, ONLY the configs, the complete list of installed packages, fsatb, etc???  (I'm new to linux and it cost me a dman lot of time to get everything running (wlan, webcam, users and privileges,some programs stating automatically, ...)  would take me months to do it again, so I wanna back thta up
[23:23] <roffe> When I try to manually install the latest nvidia drivers, I end up with Ubuntu telling me to run in low graphics when I reboot
[23:23] <superbird> Have to migrate from Joomla 1.0 to 1.5 but am a bit nervous.  I have my own webserver but can't find a cpanel or whatever to do a backup first.  I do have phpmyadmin with a lock showing but I can see the files.  Don't know which one to use for backing up my database.
[23:23] <user__> preferably on only one CD
[23:24] <bazhang> user__, like a system restore cd?
[23:24] <cornet> user__: ok a few things
[23:24] <cornet> user__: /home
[23:24] <cornet> user__: /etc
[23:24] <roffe> How can I install the latest nvidia drivers without it telling me it's failed?
[23:24] <erUSUL> !clone | user__
[23:24] <cornet> user__: then do dpkg --get-selections > package_list.txt
[23:24] <IdleOne> !enter > cornet
[23:25] <erUSUL> user__: for /etc just tar it up the same goes for your home folder
[23:25] <buch> Anyone who can help me get the panels look like the [http://www.compiz-themes.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=62864&file1=62864-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=Simple+%26+Nice] (So i have my active appliations in same panel as Prog. system etc)
[23:25] <thingy> superbird: best bet and safest thing is to run your question by people in #joomla and tell them your using #ubuntu and if they have any advice on what you should do before proceeding with the upgrade (i.e. backup everything!!!)
[23:25] <buch> !panels
[23:25] <cornet> IdleOne: sorry
[23:25] <user__> bazhang: yes. cornet, erUSUL  thank you
[23:25] <IdleOne> buch: #compiz might be more help
[23:25] <superbird> Did that and they sent me here.
[23:26] <IdleOne> cornet: no problem. you got excited lol
[23:26] <cornet> IdleOne: too much wine
[23:26] <buch> idleOne: ahh yeah, ofc
[23:26] <cornet> :)
[23:26] <thingy> superbird: bah! so do you have ssh access to your webserver?
[23:26] <nightrid3r> superbird: backup your documentroot then backup your mysql database (with phpmyadmin)
[23:27] <epaphus> Hello, I have done apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ... however when i open firefox i still cannot view flash pages.. what else must i do?
[23:27] <superbird> I have phpmyadmin but don't know what file to use to bu the database.  Sorry but I'm new to linux
[23:27] <thingy> superbird: or use something like http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/backup to do a site backup
[23:27] <houcine> français
[23:28] <bazhang> houcine, /join #ubuntu-fr
[23:28] <amortvigil> hello whats the partition program of the kubuntu livecd called?
[23:28] <nightrid3r> superbird: user , test , mysql are system databases, it must be another
[23:28] <bazhang> amortvigil, partitionmanager ?
[23:28] <user__> erUSUL: in /etc there are the users, their privileges and the programs that should start at startup and the configs of all the progs that don't put their configs into /home/user/.[proram name]  ?
[23:29] <cornet> superbird: you could use mysqldump to backup the database. do     mysqldump --opt -u root -p<password> --all-databases > database_backup.sql
[23:29] <amortvigil> bazhang: cant find that one
[23:29] <karl1> hey i am unable to change my screen resolution from 800x600 i know my monitor supports higher my gfx card is ntel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics
[23:29] <thingy> superbird: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/backup/5762   <-- JBackup seems to be free and it will backup your joomla db
[23:30] <karl1> is there any way to force it
[23:30] <cmp> histo , how are you ?
[23:30] <mikejet> Can someone explain this? I have the exact same problem - OpenOfficeWord opening a file over CIFS (samba) is opened read-only. This 2007 message appears to solve the problem, but I don't get it.  http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org/msg15652.html
[23:30] <julianoliver> how do i ensure, in Gnome, that shell scripts always run in the terminal when invoked by clicking?
[23:30] <superbird> I'll look into it right away.  thanks.  Hope to come back and thank you.
[23:30] <erUSUL> user__: /etc/ is for machine wide configuration (no user settings)
[23:30] <julianoliver> normally there is a prompt. i want to remove that prompting.

[23:32] <cmp> histo, my system working fine now with the visual effect after i updated my ubuntu , allthought its not safe for me to upgrade my system as i always get system crashed after updating .....but any way its ok now .but now i have another probelm
[23:32] <Bor33D> i noticed

[23:32] <Home> hi there - have two ubuntu x screens on 9.04 but if i launch certain programs on one screen it opens on the other etc can i fix all this???? Anyone?
[23:32] <Bor33D> ubuntu isnt even that great
[23:32] <genii> mikejet: uname -a     or lsb_release       might tell you for sure
[23:32] <Bor33D> needs a few upgrades
[23:32] <Home> seperate x screens i mean
[23:32] <mikejet> genii : why doesn't that show up in a System->About, anyway?
[23:32] <bazhang> Bor33D, did you have a support question? or just wish to chat
[23:33] <Bor33D> i did have a question
[23:33] <Bor33D> but nobody can help me with it
[23:33] <erUSUL> Bor33D: it is difficult if we have to read it from your mind
[23:33] <cornet> Bor33D: try asking again
[23:33] <lordnikon> is duanedesign on tonight
[23:33] <ceil420> "For Roman Catholics, fasting is the reduction of one's intake of food to one full meal (which may not contain meat during Fridays in Lent) and two small meals (known liturgically as collations, taken in the morning and the evening)."
[23:33]  * erUSUL got his crystall ball to repair
[23:33] <ceil420> lol that's more than i eat now
[23:33] <ceil420> maybe i should do an RC fast
[23:33] <bazhang> ceil420, ??
[23:33] <cmp> histo, yasterday i was using mobile modem and it was working fine - after upgrading - my system asking for password while iam trying to connect with my mobile modem - when i put my pass word which i created to log in my ubuntu ... its not working ...do you know the way out ?????
[23:33] <genii> mikejet: Not sure why. But command-line is 1000 times more useful
[23:34] <ceil420> bazhang, oh wrong channel
[23:34] <ceil420> sorry
[23:34] <john_> well all. New to ubuntu. It rocks
[23:34] <Bor33D> i setup ubuntu on my pc tower and needed to find out my servers main ip, i have a router couldnt find the ip, and dont no how to port forward the ip to the router either
[23:34] <Bor33D> can anyone help me with this
[23:34] <Bor33D> ?
[23:34] <Bor33D> if i could get this then ib be interested
[23:35] <bazhang> Bor33D, interested in what
[23:35] <epaphus>  Hello, could anybody enlighten me on how to uninstall (not disable) the flash plugin?
[23:35] <epaphus> firefox
[23:35] <Bor33D> in using ubuntu
[23:35] <erUSUL> Bor33D: "ifconfig" on a terminal
[23:35] <cornet> Bor33D: ok - does "servers ip" mean "ip of tower PC"
[23:35] <Bor33D> i just wanted to run a few private websites from in
[23:35] <mikejet>   Ubuntu 9.04.
[23:35] <bazhang> Bor33D, you stated you already installed it
[23:35] <user__> erUSUL: any other directory i should backup then? in order to get an exact copy of miy system on another computer or after a crash?
[23:35] <Bor33D> yes
[23:35] <Bor33D> i had installed it couldnt get it to work so removed it
[23:35] <Bor33D> and tower ip
[23:35] <bazhang> !enter | Bor33D
[23:36] <cornet> dose the tower PC have an IP and access to the internet ?
[23:36] <simran> im trying to update my nvidia graphic drivers from the nvidia site, ...the installtion is a .run extension...which opens up a page of txt...what app do i need to use that install
[23:36] <cornet> bor33D: dose the tower PC have an IP and access to the internet ?
[23:36] <erUSUL> user__: /etc/ and /home/ and you should be pretty covered.
[23:36] <Bor33D> i was told i need to portforward the tower ip to my router to be able to see it on the internet or something like that
[23:36] <user01> is there a good linux based online data backup service like mozy?
[23:36] <user__> erUSUL thank you
[23:36] <Bor33D> ??
[23:37] <erUSUL> user__: do not forget the !clone factoid
[23:37] <thingy> home: i googled around for this and it seems there is a bug logged against this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/339783 There is a fix in the last message on that page and see if you can implement it or wait for this bug's fix to be applied in an ubuntu update
[23:37] <cmp> ok - histo seems to be busy ... any one can support me with it ?
[23:37] <erUSUL> Bor33D: the other way around you have to do portforward on your router to the ip of the server
[23:37] <mikejet> Linux is for people who can't afford Mac.
[23:37] <nightrid3r> Bor33D: set a static ip on the tower, then login to router and put the tower ip in the DMZ
[23:37] <cornet> Bor33D: wrong way round - you need to port forward FROM your router TO your tower PC ... in a terminal do   ifconfig    to get the ip of the tower
[23:38] <cmp> yasterday i was using mobile modem and it was working fine - after upgrading - my system asking for password while iam trying to connect with my mobile modem - when i put my pass word which i created to log in my ubuntu ... its not working ...do you know the way out ?????
[23:38] <Home> thingy - cheers so will prob be updated by ubuntu at some stage?
[23:38] <user__> erUSUL: no I won't foget. I copied it wor by for to a text file, so i won't forget... (remeber, I'm new to linux)
[23:38] <user01> mikejet, mmm or people who dont want their apps pulled from apple
[23:38]  * erUSUL do not feed the troll
[23:38] <Bor33D> yes, this was what i was toold, but i dont no how to set a static ip, and dont how to portforward, also when i do the ifconfig or eth0 it gives me an ip like 128.0.0.1 or something like that
[23:39] <KB1JWQ> !ot | mikejet
[23:39] <cornet> Bor33D: ifconfig lo   wil give you IP of 127.0.0.1     do ifconfig eth0
[23:39] <thingy> Home: its a gnome-panel bug I think and there is a patch in the bug report so eventually this will get merged into ubuntu...maybe next release or maybe this release in an update...add yourself to this bug's notify list so that you know what happens to it
[23:39] <user01> is ubuntu one any good?  it got a pretty bad review from linux format
[23:39] <cornet> Bor33D: lo == loopback interface, eth0 == network interface card
[23:39] <mikejet> Does anyone have some tricks on how to get Open Office Word to work over cifs? The first time I open any odt file it is read-only.
[23:39] <Bor33D> i tryed that and it gave me the same ip, apparently i have to edit the config with my tower ip, but how can i edit it if i dont no the ip?
[23:39] <cornet> user01: suck it and see
[23:40] <mikejet>    Ubuntu 9.04.
[23:40] <erUSUL> mikejet: maybe the whole cifs mount is read only.
[23:40] <raylu> nightrid3r: in general, DMZ is not a preferred solution
[23:40] <erUSUL> !samba | mikejet
[23:40] <bazhang> cornet, please keep it civil
[23:40] <nightrid3r> mikejet: do you have write permission on the share ?
[23:40] <cornet> bazhang: huh - 's a pretty canonical phrase that - oh well
[23:41] <KB1JWQ> cornet: I heard it from an old electrician once, I LOL'd.  :)
[23:41] <cornet> well it is in the UK
[23:41] <mikejet> Yes. The CIFS filesystem totally works from the command line. And I think the problem is file-locking on the .~lock.myfile.odt# file in the CIFS filesystem.
[23:41] <cornet> user01: seriously thou, try it and see if you like it
[23:42] <cmp> any one will answer ??
[23:42] <bruenig> cmp s a coreutil command
[23:42] <bruenig> is*
[23:42] <Bor33D> and me anybody wanna answer?
[23:42] <Bor33D> i tryed that and it gave me the same ip, apparently i have to edit the config with my tower ip, but how can i edit it if i dont no the ip?
[23:42] <bruenig> err
[23:42] <bruenig> no, it is part of diff
[23:42] <erUSUL> cmp: i have no experience with mobile internet sorry
[23:42] <mikejet> In Ubuntu 9.04, OpenOfficeWord 3.0.1 creates that lock file over CIFS, and because it is weird, it marks your session as read-only.
[23:43] <thingy> mikejet: I recall a big article in lxer.com or osnews.com about the samba team fixing a long standing issue to do with file locking and office apps. have you googled for this issue?
[23:43] <buch> !panel
[23:43] <cornet> Bor33D: ok, do you have DHCP enabled on your router ?
[23:43] <buch> !panels
[23:43] <Bor33D> im guessing so
[23:43] <Bor33D> i dont no
[23:43] <cmp> bruenig , what do you say here
[23:43] <Bor33D> lol
[23:43] <cornet> Bor33D: time to enable it then :)
[23:43] <erUSUL> thingy: it was with office 2007...
[23:43] <mikejet> I thought CIFS was a completely different project that replaced SAMBA.
[23:43] <Bor33D> how would i do that?
[23:43] <cornet> Bor33D: it's generanlly an option on the configuration interface to your router ?
[23:44] <erUSUL> mikejet: samba the programs implements CIFs the protocol. the same way apache de webserver implements HTTP the protocol
[23:44] <cornet> Bor33D: if in doubt consult you routers documentation and see what it says
[23:44] <Bor33D> cornet: what would you say if i said i chucked the doc book away?
[23:44] <SeligArkin> I seem to have a problem with an unknown process messing up my /etc/hosts file, possibly what use to mess up my hgst name
[23:45] <cornet> Bor33D: i'd say google for your router make/model and download the manual
[23:45] <simran> guys, im trying to update a nvidia driver - its a .run file, how to i use it
[23:45] <Bor33D> cornet: i could look it up on the internet? its just a standared netgear wireless router
[23:45] <thingy> mikejet: and you meant smb and not samba...cifs and smb are completely different
[23:45] <cmp> bruenig , are you going to say any thing ?????
[23:45] <simran> double clicking it opens up gedit with a error
[23:45] <bruenig> cmp: I use cmp in my scripts sometimes
[23:45] <nightrid3r> simran: sh filename.run
[23:45] <SeligArkin> it keeps making the first entry localhost.localdomain, making python's socket.getfqdn() return that instead of the proper thing to allow the comp to be accessed
[23:45] <simran> nightrid3r: what is sh ?
[23:46] <nightrid3r> simran: sh == shell
[23:46] <Voss> I wonder when ubuntu will update the nvidia driver in its distribution???
[23:46] <erUSUL> !latest | Voss
[23:46] <lordnikon> i need help getting an hp laptop with a fresh install of jaunty working
[23:46] <arand> Voss: In the new release most likely.
[23:46] <Bor33D> cornet: thank you for your help, i guess if i cant even get this sorted then i should just stay with my webhost?
[23:47] <cmp> bruenig , will you say something understandable here or ??????
[23:47] <lordnikon> pm me please
[23:47] <Guest57469> warning, you do not WANT do update the nvidia drivers manually !!!!!!
[23:47] <bruenig> cmp: it is a good tool, cmp is like a lightweight version of diff
[23:47] <lordnikon> brb going out for a smoke
[23:47] <arand> lordnikon: specify your problem.
[23:47] <maxie> what the best software 2 use 2 becup using dvd??
[23:47] <nightrid3r> Bor33D: sounds like a great idea
[23:48] <bastidrazor> Guest57469, why not?
[23:48] <simran> how to exit x server?
[23:48] <Bor33D> nightrid3r: yea lol, i have loads of dedicated servers aswell, normaly with centos, ive just never manualy set one up before
[23:48] <KB1JWQ> simran: ctrl alt backspace
[23:48] <Leo> Hello everyone again. I tried to find out why my audio card is apparently working but I have no sound. And the answer until now it the my card is Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family), and the ICH9 is not supported. Is there anyone that has the step by step to solve it???
[23:48] <Bor33D> just wanted to have a test
[23:49] <KB1JWQ> simran: Or kill the x process.
[23:49] <cmp> guys are you all here busy ???? is it really true that you are soooooooooo busy to this limit ?
[23:49] <nightrid3r> Bor33D: start reading on some basic networking and routing then youll understand what you need to do
[23:49] <bazhang> !dontzap | simran
[23:49] <simran> its not ctrl alt backspace
[23:49] <simran> alt print screen k
[23:49] <simran> isnt it?
[23:49] <HiNaC> hello
[23:49] <simran> all tht does is soft reboots
[23:49] <arand> simran: indeed, se above.
[23:49] <Bor33D> nightrid3r: ok will take a look thank you, also somebody said i wouldnt have enough power to run a home dedicated server? i have a 50mbs line would that not be good enough as some run from a 10
[23:50] <simran> im tryin to install a gfx drivert and it says kill x server...if i press those commands it takes me to the login screen
 Hello everyone again. I tried to find out why my audio card is apparently working but I have no sound. And the answer until now it the my card is Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family), and the ICH9 is not supported. Is there anyone that has the step by step to solve it???
[23:50] <Guest57469> bastidrazor, you should rather ask yourself why, the drivers you have will likely be more stable and better for your kernel, while with new ones you risk less stability and at the same time no real benefit
[23:50] <grkblood2> how do i chroot certain users for ssh?
[23:50] <KB1JWQ> grkblood2: Difficult, to be sure.
[23:50] <crunge> Is it possible to trigger a script when a given package is upgraded? Specifically I need to compile/reinstall a 3rd party driver each time the kernel gets upgraded
[23:50] <KB1JWQ> grkblood2: There's an scponly plugin that MAY do what you want-- better to have sane permissions set.
[23:50] <nightrid3r> Bor33D: depends, you'll need static ip on router and your isp has to keep port 80 open
[23:50] <grkblood2> dang
[23:51] <grkblood2> i was hoping their wassomething easy
[23:51] <Guest57469> bastidrazor, also, remember that you don't want to "circumvent" package management
[23:51] <arand> simran: Switch to tty with ctrl+alt+F2 (back with ctrl+alt+F7) then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[23:51] <Bor33D> nightrid3r: do you think they would? somehow i dout it
[23:51] <nightrid3r> Bor33D: unless you want to demonstrate some portforwarding-fu
[23:51] <erUSUL> !info dkms | crunge
[23:51] <Guest57469> same goes to you, simran, you don't really want to install nvidia drivers yourself...
[23:51] <crunge> erUSUL: Thanks, I'll read up on it
[23:51] <simran> ?
[23:52] <nightrid3r> Bor33D: most providers block port 80 to prevent you from hosting your own stuff
[23:52] <erUSUL> crunge: no problem
[23:52] <zopiac> how do i change the taskbar part of a gtk theme? like, use my own part for it
[23:52] <simran> but ubuntu installed an old one 180. ..the latest drivers are 185.
[23:52] <raylu> nightrid3r, Bor33D: i have yet to see one
[23:52] <Bor33D> nightrid3r: also the static ip, its all wireless through my tv areal for some reason so i dont think ill ever get a static i[
[23:52] <simran> Guest57469 how come?

[23:53] <simran> pre12164 ?
[23:54] <bazhang> cmp, generally repeating your issue with as much detail as possible, and reposting every 20 minutes or so is the best way forward
[23:54] <pre12164> yes
[23:54] <arand> pre12164: specify problem.
[23:54] <bazhang> simran, please watch the language
[23:54] <raylu> Bor33D: few do, in my experience
[23:54] <Guest57469> simran, did you think about that there might be a reason that ubuntu doesn't have the bleeding edge nvidia driver ?
[23:54] <pre12164> i cant get my wn121t to work on ubuntu x64
[23:54] <Wasser> hi people. i have the following problem: i hibernated my computer and now i cant access ubuntu anymore cause after the grub screen it just stays blank. what can i do?

[23:54] <epaphus> Anybody know how I can delete a firefox addon instead of simply disabling it?? I installed flash via the addon manager in firefox and now i cannot delete it
[23:54] <raylu> Bor33D: like i said, never heard of any that do
[23:55] <Guest57469> simran, you don't want to update yourself if it is not immideately easy for you to do yourself...
[23:55] <raylu> Bor33D: (until now)
[23:55] <erUSUL> Leo: sometimes with laptops help adding a line "options snd_hda_intel model=laptop" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[23:55] <raylu> epaphus: flash isn't an addon, it's an extension
[23:55] <simran> Guest57469: so i wait for the official ubuntu update?
[23:55] <Bor33D> raylu: so if i could get this ip and port forwarding sorted, then i could be ok to run a home dedicated server?
[23:55] <epaphus> raylu, ok deleting that extension..?
[23:55] <erUSUL> Leo: model= accepts othe parameters (specific laptops models)
[23:55] <raylu> epaphus: no idea
[23:55] <simran> Guest57469: why cant ubuntu use bleeding edge
[23:55] <tsrk__> What's the best way to forward all connections on port 123 to another machine (still port 123)?
[23:55] <bastidrazor> Guest57469, that is your opinion.
[23:55] <raylu> Bor33D: i suppose
[23:55] <pre12164> is there a way i can just see my post and responses?
[23:56] <raylu> tsrk__: iptables/ipchains

[23:57] <pre12164> can anyone help me to install me wireless wn121t to ubuntu x64?
[23:57] <bazhang> cmp, generally you just drag the tar.gz to the theme manager
[23:57] <Bor33D> raylu: ok thank you ill take a look and see what i can find, the next thing is do you think i would have enough power to run a home dedicated server?
[23:57] <erUSUL> !ebox | zvonkorp webmin is not supported in ubuntu
[23:57] <Wasser> hi people. i have the following problem: i hibernated my computer and now i cant access ubuntu anymore cause after the grub screen it just stays blank. what can i do?
[23:57] <zvonkorp> thanks ubottu
[23:57] <raylu> Bor33D: that obviously depends on the load you get
[23:57] <cmp> how can i find the theme manager ?
[23:58] <IdleOne> erUSUL: that factoid contradicts what you said
[23:58] <nightrid3r> Bor33D: 50Mbit is enough for a home server
[23:58] <bazhang> cmp, right click desktop change background, go to themes tab
[23:58] <Bor33D> raylu:ok brillaint would a 10mbs be ok?
[23:58] <erUSUL> IdleOne: in which way ?
[23:58] <pre12164> help with wireless drive plz
[23:58] <Bor33D> raylu: im just thinking of way to cut down the bill a little bit
[23:58] <Guest57469> simran, they have a reason to, do You ?
[23:58] <thingy> Wasser: it seems ubuntu fails to boot up using the hibernation image file it created when you hibernated. If you had unsaved stuff when you hibernated that could be lost now...you will need to tell grub to boot up normally (i think its a boot option you have to specify) and ignore the hibernation file
[23:59] <IdleOne> erUSUL: well you said it isnt supported but the factoid says it is designed to work with ubuntu. sorta misleading
[23:59] <nightrid3r> Bor33D: depends on what you host, more graphics means more bandwith
[23:59] <erUSUL> IdleOne: it is webmin the one that is not suported
[23:59] <Guest56134> hi there
[23:59] <erUSUL> !webmin > IdleOne
[23:59] <Guest56134> i just got a quick question if anyone can help?
[23:59] <IdleOne> erUSUL: sorry. I will learn to not question your foo
[23:59] <bucky> IdleOne, webmin was replaced by ebox  ..that's what the factoid says
[23:59] <Bor33D> nightrid3r: ok brilliant thank you, i guess the only way to find out is by giving it a go
