[00:00] <andresmh> mneptok, I think it's all apps. She has a hard time describing the problem. But from what I see on the screenshot it looks like everything is big.
[00:00] <pacific-blue> How come "places" does not show up when I right click on the panel. Only "system" and "applications" appear to be configurable. Seems stupid...
[00:00] <mneptok> andresmh: do you have another user account on the system to try?
[00:00] <dergringo> aj_444, ahh sorry my fault. You need to add the Frquency Applet to your taskbar: http://linuxundich.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gnomefrequencyapplet.png
[00:00] <andresmh> mneptok, no :(
[00:00] <prince_jammys> magical_walrus: otherwise, the '\r' character has no special meaning in your shell, and will remain as literal. in your case, it stuck into the filename of a a file you created.
[00:00] <andresmh> DaZ-, I have no idea what card she has. I should have taken note when I installed the system. It's an old machine.
[00:00] <mneptok> andresmh: create one?
[00:00] <pacific-blue> And what is the name of the application that views files when you click on a folder in the "places" menu?
[00:00] <andresmh> mneptok, good idea.
[00:01] <mneptok> andresmh: then you know if it's a driver issue, or a config issue in her account
[00:01] <aj_444> dergringo: would that be in the ad/remove section?
[00:01] <laclasse> pacific-blue, nautilus
[00:01] <pacific-blue> Thanks laclasse
[00:01] <arand> pacific-blue: places are bound to nautilus (file browser) and configured from there as well, unfortunately even there configuration possibilities are rather limited
[00:01] <magical_walrus> prince_jammys, is there a way I can edit a file in windows without it adding ^M to the end of each line?
[00:01] <prince_jammys> magical_walrus: and don't use that editor, else you get further headaches, unless it has an option for 'unix style line endings'
[00:02] <dergringo> aj_444, "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor"
[00:02] <id1000> apt-get clean/autoclean   typed at terminal did not work
[00:02] <magical_walrus> prince_jammys, I'll check for that
[00:02] <prince_jammys> magical_walrus: yeah, an editor that offers that option.
[00:02] <andresmh> mneptok, I don't think it's a driver issue. I installed the machine a few months ago and it all worked fine. She has not applied any updates. But she said that the power went out and things looked bigger after that.
[00:02] <arand> id1000: either: sudo apt-get autoclean OR sudo apt-get clean
[00:02] <aj_444> dergrino: there's a kpowersave
[00:02] <lianimator> how do I send a click to the screen with x and why coordinates with a command?
[00:02] <ikla> arand, yes
[00:02] <adaptr> the power went out and her things looked bigger ? she has bad noght vision, me thinks
[00:02] <dergringo> id1000, sudo apt-get autoclean and sudo apt-get autoremove ?
[00:03] <ikla> annoying it pops up new windows
[00:03] <andresmh> I guess I could ask her to email me the content of Xorg.conf? mneptok
[00:03] <arand> id1000: use apt-get --help to see what they do.
[00:03] <pacific-blue> arand: Why does nautilus sometimes copy the file and sometimes moves the file? If I reboot the system there's a 50/50 chance the next time it will flip the action from move to copy. I'd like to somehow make it's behaviour consistent...
[00:03] <magical_walrus> prince_jammys, It has an option to "Convert to UNIX format"
[00:03] <prince_jammys> magical_walrus: great. use that.
[00:03] <pacific-blue> Instead of having to press the shift key depending on its mood...
[00:03] <id1000> error -"could not lock file"
[00:04] <lianimator> pacific-blue: same partition = move, diff partition = copy.
[00:04] <CaptainCrook> how can i cd/read file to file/dir like this one "this dir has space in it" in command line ?
[00:04] <prince_jammys> magical_walrus: .. for every file you intend to use in a *NIX (linux, mac osx, etc.) system.
[00:04] <arand> pacific-blue: I have no idea, afaik that is wholly dependent is you copy on one disk or between disks... otherwise it'd be a blatant bug...
[00:04] <kermit> did anyone else's hibernate stop working recently? it just reboots.
[00:05] <pacific-blue> lianimator: unfortunately within the same partition I get different results almost every time I boot
[00:05] <prince_jammys> magical_walrus: basically, "anything but windows" ;)
[00:05] <magical_walrus> prince_jammys, Will do. I don't normally write scripts in windows, so this problem has never reared its head before
[00:05] <unop> CaptainCrook, cd "this dir has space in it"
[00:05] <DigitalKiwi> don't macs use a different line ending?
[00:05] <DigitalKiwi> or was that just older macs
[00:05]  * DigitalKiwi thought they used \r
[00:05] <pacific-blue> I guess I'll dig around the nautilus documentation for possible bugs on this
[00:05] <sebsebseb> kermit: How much RAM do you have?   Have you got double  the size of it as SWAP space?   They say that meant to have double  for hibernate.
[00:05] <prince_jammys> magical_walrus: it's pretty common. first thing i suspected when you described the problem.
[00:06] <CaptainCrook> unop,  and if i want to scan for mp3 in command line that have space in it?
[00:06] <DigitalKiwi> or \n\r or something
[00:06] <unop> CaptainCrook, recursively in all subdirectories or not?
[00:06] <cbeck> CaptainCrook: or escape the spaces, which is a bit more tab completion friendly: cd this\ dir\ has\ spaces
[00:06] <prince_jammys> DigitalKiwi: today's macs use UNIX style line endings, '\n'
[00:07] <DigitalKiwi> what was it the old ones used?
[00:07] <prince_jammys> DigitalKiwi: they used to use just '\r'
[00:07] <DigitalKiwi> anything use \n\r?
[00:07] <arand> ikla: there is an option in nautilus preferences for "always open in browser windows" have you made sure that is checked?
[00:07] <CaptainCrook> unop,  let's say everything in /music/
[00:07] <prince_jammys> DigitalKiwi: no. windows uses \r\n
[00:07]  * DigitalKiwi knows
[00:08] <unop> CaptainCrook,  find /music -iname "* *.mp3" -type f
[00:08] <cbeck> DigitalKiwi: Which makes sense from a historical perspective, on a typewriter, you need to both drop one line, and return the carriage to the start of the page
[00:09] <DigitalKiwi> ha
[00:09] <magical_walrus> Just a bit of a random question but can I set mode +x on myself on this IRC?
[00:09] <tonyyarusso> magical_walrus: See http://freenode.net/ "using the network"
[00:09] <magical_walrus> tonyyarusso: Thanks
[00:10] <jiohdi> cbeck  cr carriage return
[00:10] <bucky> CaptainCrook, hey they but that network capability in bash on the last update
[00:10] <cbeck> I know
[00:10] <GPL> magical_walrus: just visit #freenode and ask for an unaffiliated cloak, [polite words, remember]
[00:10] <CaptainCrook> unop,  and to make them appears when i "mpg123 -Z /music/ " they all fails... any way to get around it?
[00:10] <prince_jammys> CR is the hot topic of the hour
[00:11]  * prince_jammys destroys all CRs on sight, with a flamethrower.
[00:11] <unop> CaptainCrook,  find /music -iname "* *.mp3" -type f -exec mpg123 -Z {} +  #perhaps
[00:11] <cbeck> I usually just use dos2unix, but a flamethrower would probably be effective
[00:11] <green_bowl> Hi
[00:11] <id1000> did "sudo apt-get autoremove" get error "dpgk was interrupted, you must manally run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem"
[00:11] <unop> CaptainCrook, failing that, this ought to do.   find /music -iname "* *.mp3" -type f -exec mpg123 -Z {} \;
[00:11] <green_bowl> I use the 9.10 Karmic Koala, and recently updated... however after my restart I had NO SOUND
[00:12] <bucky> CaptainCrook, hey they but that network capability in bash on the last update  you can try it out with this code http://paste.ubuntu.com/260102/
[00:12] <green_bowl> ... and still don't
[00:12] <IdleOne> id1000: so run the dpkg command given to you
[00:12] <prince_jammys> id1000: did you run sudo dpkg --configure -a  ?
[00:12] <DigitalKiwi> how did the networking standard of things being ended with \n\r come about? because of windows or for similiar reasons as windows?
[00:12] <id1000> i did
[00:12] <prince_jammys> id1000: if not, do.
[00:12] <id1000> duh
[00:12] <green_bowl> I uninstalled pulseaudio and installed esound, and I got sound back - but the volume/sound control was gone
[00:12] <green_bowl> So I reinstalled pulseaudio - and my sound was once again GONE
[00:12] <IdleOne> duh?
[00:12] <prince_jammys> id1000: heh, you'd be surprised at how many come here and don't.
[00:12] <jiohdi> green, lately I have found that my boots set my volume to zero... I go into aumix and fix it
[00:12] <green_bowl> I've checked that
[00:12] <arand> unop: #ubuntu+1 and afaik, it's a common issue
[00:13] <green_bowl> I can put it on full blast and nothing comes out
[00:13] <CaptainCrook> bucky, interesting...
[00:13] <unop> arand, sorry?
[00:13] <green_bowl> Everything's connected right, the volumes are up, everything... except pulseaudio is about to make me have an aneurysm
[00:13] <kermit> maybe my hibernate isnt working because i dont see a resume= boot parameter?
[00:13] <adaptr> jiohdi: use alsamixer to set them and save the settings; also make sure alsamixer is run on startup
[00:13] <andresmh> how do I refresh the X11 settings on a machine?
[00:14] <jiohdi> adaptr, I am using xfce and I dont see alsamixer
[00:14] <sim_> Can i use virtualbox to boot my vista partition ???
[00:14] <bucky> CaptainCrook, did you have something to do with that?
[00:14] <adaptr> jiohdi: it's a commandline program
[00:14] <green_bowl> Can anyone help?
[00:14] <kermit> sim_: i couldnt get that to work
[00:14] <andresmh> I have the feeling my mom messed up her screen resolution settings  and I'd like to reset things to the way they were
[00:14] <bucky> CaptainCrook, now i know how to light a fire under the developer's butt
[00:14] <arand> !karmic | unop
[00:14] <bucky> just say it can't be done
[00:14] <green_bowl> Seems like for everything the updates fix, two more things break
[00:14] <sim_> kermit: damn :/
[00:14] <unop> arand, I believe you have me mistaken for someone else
[00:15] <CaptainCrook> bucky hehehe
[00:15] <sim_> kermit: i dnt really see anyother use for VB then..unless ur a dev
[00:15] <kermit> sim_: i got it to TRY but it'd always stop at the same place
[00:15] <green_bowl> Pulseaudio isn't working... I need help
[00:15] <cbeck> Has anyone had issues using evince to read files on local network shares? ATM it loads the file, then hangs at 100%, except when it just quits immediately.
[00:15] <sim_> kermit: does it work for some ?
[00:15] <ikla> arand, I dont see that option
[00:15] <kermit> sim_: i use it to run tax software for windows, the only thing i ever do that i cant do in linux.
[00:15] <CaptainCrook> unop,  thanks a lot it works now!
[00:15] <carl__> green go back to xp that is what i going to do.     with xp at least wireless worked on my msi u100 and was not lose my connection left and right   even tried  wicd and still
[00:15] <green_bowl> I don't have Windows.
[00:16] <green_bowl> All I have is Ubuntu and it has done a massive amount of failing lately
[00:16] <sim_> kermit: you mean u used to use it with xp ?
[00:16] <kermit> sim_: yeah, but it should run vista too
[00:16] <arand> ikla: nautilus preferences, "behaviour" tab
[00:16] <sim_> kermit: is it a straight forward procedure ?
[00:16] <green_bowl> Did anyone else update 9.10 and lose sound?
[00:16] <kermit> sim_: yeah
[00:16] <carl__> that is why i am thinking of putting xp back on my   msi u100  what is the use of having a netbook without wireless working all the time
[00:16] <green_bowl> Pulseaudio doesn't work at all
[00:17] <IdleOne> green_bowl: #ubuntu+1 for help with 9.10
[00:17] <green_bowl> I guess I'll reinstall gay esound for the time being
[00:17] <green_bowl> Ok
[00:17] <inanimate> Anyone know how to mount a drive as a user from the command line?
[00:17] <sim_> kermit: kool, because i wanted to use vista to dl stuff via newsgroups and then access them on linux
[00:17] <carl__> i have sound with    using pcm
[00:17] <sim_> kermit: thanks :)
[00:17] <cbeck> inanimate: the driver needs to have user flag in fstab
[00:17] <id1000> Thxs seed to work but now i have only 200mb free instead on 400mbs, guess the updates have a larger footprint
[00:17] <cbeck> err, s/driver/drive/
[00:18] <inanimate> cbeck: Hmm... So if it's not in fstab, then there's no way to mount it without being root?
[00:18] <sim_> damn does anyone know of a good/main repo which keeps a broad variety of the main programs up to date
[00:18] <sim_> ?
[00:18] <bucky> carl__, try mint 7  they made a bunch of wireless tweaks that usually work out of the box almost 100%
[00:18] <tonyyarusso> sim_: backports is the semi-official place to start
[00:19] <kermit> which hibernate method does ubuntu use?  so i know where to start fixing it.. it worked a few days ago.
[00:19] <sim_> tonyyarusso: shall i enable backports then
[00:19] <tonyyarusso> sim_: PPAs of different packages is the next step
[00:19] <id1000> checked update manager says there is another 314mbs in updates to download - crap
[00:19] <carl__> thx bucky
[00:19] <sim_> tonyyarusso: adding ppa for a single package its pathetic
[00:19] <tonyyarusso> sim_: If you're willing to take that chance of losing the supported packages, yes
[00:19] <tonyyarusso> sim_: If you want things to be frequently broken, you could run Karmic.
[00:19] <sim_> tonyyarusso: why would you lose the supported packages
[00:20] <tonyyarusso> sim_: Because you'd have new ones installed instead
[00:20] <sim_> why cant they keep the community one updated
[00:20] <sim_> i jus checked and vbox is way outdated
[00:20] <tonyyarusso> sim_: Because we use time-based releases, not rolling ones?
[00:21] <DigitalKiwi> if you want constantly updated packages ubuntu, or any time-based release, probably isn't for you
[00:21] <sim_> tonyyarusso: ah i see
[00:21] <BaRs> oo
[00:21] <BaRs> hello
[00:22] <BaRs> lan oruspu copcuklarý :D
[00:22] <BaRs> ananýzý s2m :D
[00:22] <CaptainCrook> unop,  however only one song seem to get thru and it play like 7 time at the time... can't seem to stop it...
[00:23] <cbeck> inanimate: There are ways to make unknown drives user mountable, but they all require superuser privileges to set up
[00:23] <DigitalKiwi> sim_: are you interested in distributions with always up to date packages?
[00:23] <sim_> DigitalKiwi: yep why not :)
[00:24] <unop> CaptainCrook, hmm, yea - gimme a sec.
[00:24] <isleshocky77> What's the best way to install rails 2.2.2 on ubuntu 7.04?
[00:24] <inanimate> cbeck: Right. And I think automout may have been removed, so I guess I'm out of luck then.
[00:25] <inanimate> cbeck: There's no way fuse could help this?
[00:26] <sebsebseb> !7.04 |  isleshocky77
[00:26] <sim_> for vbox do i need virtualgtk too ??
[00:26] <isleshocky77> sebsebseb: ??
[00:26] <sebsebseb> !eol |  isleshocky77
[00:26] <sim_> !virtualbox
[00:27] <sebsebseb> isleshocky77: Ubuntu 7.04 is no longer supported
[00:27] <unop> CaptainCrook, this is a bit length but try it out.    unset mp3; while read -r -d '' file; do mp3+=( "$file" ); done < <(find /music -iname "* *.mp3" -type f); mpg123 "${mp3[@]}"
[00:27] <isleshocky77> sebsebseb: Company server which I don't have control over upgrading..
[00:27] <isleshocky77> sebsebseb: sadly.. :-/
[00:27] <sebsebseb> isleshocky77: well  whoever does,   should upgrade to 8.04 really,   but do they know,  is the thing
[00:27] <IdleOne> isleshocky77: then inform whoever does about it
[00:28] <isleshocky77> sebsebseb: IdleOne: thanks.. lol
[00:28] <sebsebseb> IdleOne: maybe give them this link:
[00:28] <sebsebseb> !upgrade |  IdleOne
[00:28] <unop> CaptainCrook, i'm off for now, if you have any problems - /join #bash  and ask there
[00:28] <IdleOne> isleshocky77: ^^^^
[00:29] <CaptainCrook> unop,  this is gonna make me crazy... can't stop it...
[00:29] <sim_> guys guys...ive read sum things about "archlinux"...whats that all about - it looks promising
[00:30] <IdleOne> sim_: check the website and ask them :)
[00:30] <DigitalKiwi> #archlinux
[00:32] <sebsebseb> isleshocky77: server  version   maybe  stopped being supported April this year,   since three years support,  but  that doesn't matter,  time to upgrade really
[00:34] <sebsebseb> sim_: it's a distro  that is quite a lot difficulter to use than Ubuntu,   with new packages, pretty much straight away after release.  http://www.distrowatch.com to find out about  distros and  ##linux is the general Linux channal
[00:34] <zaid> hey guys
[00:36] <sim_> sebsebseb: cheersss
[00:37] <Polycarbonate> how do i continue downloading a file in wget. ( the file has been saved with -O /media/hda3/slackware option)
[00:37] <arand> Polycarbonate: I think the -c flag might do that.
[00:38] <GSF1200S> anyone know of a metacity theme that integrates the titlebar buttons into the menu bar, or is that even possible?
[00:38] <Polycarbonate> will it remember the path i saved before? because im using a live cd
[00:38] <CaptainCrook> damn... i've uninstalled mpg123 ... it still play!!!
[00:38] <Polycarbonate> are there any option i need to add
[00:39] <GSF1200S> CaptainCrook: sudo killall mpg123
[00:39] <arand> Polycarbonate: you might have to specify it again... (I've only vaguely heard about it, don't trust this for facts)
[00:39] <Stormx2``> Polycarbonate, $ wget --help | grep resume
[00:39] <Stormx2``>   -c,  --continue                resume getting a partially-downloaded file.
[00:40] <GSF1200S> CaptainCrook: its because apt removed the app from the disk, but its still loaded in ram
[00:40] <CaptainCrook> GSF1200S,  ohhhh! thanks a lot!
[00:40] <GSF1200S> CaptainCrook: np
[00:40] <Polycarbonate> so i have to add the same    -O /path     option ?
[00:40] <LnxSlck> does update-manager stops when clicking update to 9.10 ?
[00:41] <LnxSlck> for anyone?
[00:41] <GSF1200S> anyone know of a metacity theme that integrates the titlebar buttons into the menu bar, or is that even possible? 2nd and last time ill ask.. not trying to spam
[00:41] <trism> Polycarbonate: Yeah you probably have to use the same -O option with -c because otherwise wget won't know where to look
[00:42] <Polycarbonate> ok i got it thank you very much :)

[00:43] <GPL> is there something available, which can serve a replacement for System Notification Tray ?
[00:47] <wANd_> Hello all, I'm using an ubuntu-based distro (XBMC) but their default loading of ATI graphics driver is giving me this garbled screen:  http://i32.tinypic.com/euk7dx.jpg  Does anyone know why this would be happening?  Is it trying the wrong resolution or something?  Second of all, I can start in safe mode but there is no xorg.conf.  How can I set one up, is there a config program?  Thanks!

[00:50] <ubuntu> hey
[00:50] <Out_Cold> where can i find the "kernal source tree" files?
[00:51] <Out_Cold> any particular names?
[00:53] <icarus> when using banshee media player to play music from my ipod a orange  icon with a lock on it appears next to mile files . none of these file will play
[00:53] <icarus> wusic
[00:53] <icarus> .music
[00:53] <FrozenFire[work]> Quick question: Has anyone developed a little pamphlet that can be printed off, with basic information about Ubuntu, to be given to the average Windows user?
[00:54] <ZoeyMarie> can anyone tell me how to change the volume of PCM using my master volume controls (and why I can't find any documentation that tells me how to do this)? :(
[00:54] <Out_Cold> FrozenFire[work], i used to refer people to whylinuxisbetter.net but not sure if that site is still active
[00:54] <icarus> it is
[00:54] <FrozenFire[work]> I often have people come to my resort who ask for help with their computer, complaining about something to do with Windows. I often mention Ubuntu in those cases, but am always scrambling for URLs and basic "marketing" information
[00:54] <GPL> is there something available, which can serve a replacement for System Notification Tray ?
[00:55] <Out_Cold> ZoeyMarie, you can use alsamixer or gnome-alsamixer
[00:55] <FrozenFire[work]> The big things I'd like are information on _why_ Ubuntu rocks, where to get it, and information on Wubi/trying Ubuntu
[00:55] <Out_Cold> could always make one... and forward it to the ubuntu team
[00:56] <FrozenFire[work]> I might do so, though I'd worry about copyright infringement (I know Canonical is fairly lenient in that regard, but you can never be too careful)
[00:56] <icarus> when trying to play music from my ipod on ubuntu none of the files will play
[00:56] <Polycarbonate> :)
[00:56] <Out_Cold> FrozenFire[work], i doubt you will have any worries
[00:57] <Out_Cold> icarus, make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-modules installed
[00:57] <trelayne> hi all, a little mystery. I've successfully gotten two laptops running ubuntu to talk to one another by creating an mesh AP on one and then connecting the other one to it... BUT, I can't ping from the client to the AP unless I have wireshark running on the client.... go figure.. anyone know why that might be?
[00:57] <icarus> Out_Cold, ok
[00:58] <oboxodo> hi there. I'm searching for an alternative syslog package that would allow me to have separate config files like for example in syslog.d/* any suggested package?
[00:59] <adaptr> syslog has that - why do you need an alternative ?
[00:59] <timbojimbo> yo my buddy's dell demension i just installed ubuntu and it isn't getting on the recognizing the onboard ethernet card. any help??
[00:59] <oboxodo> syslog has that?! can't find any reference to that in the man or google. :(
[00:59] <adaptr> oboxodo: you just said it did
[01:00] <adaptr> try syslog-ng
[01:00] <adaptr> it's tehnew
[01:00] <mac_attack09> **incomming reconnect, please stand by for IRC client restart**
[01:01] <oboxodo> adaptr: I didn't say it did. I said I'm looking for an alternative that would have that possibility. AFAIK, normal syslog and rsyslog both depend on a unique unified syslog.conf file. I need to be able to separate config in different files.
[01:02] <adaptr> [2009-08-27 02:00] <adaptr> try syslog-ng
[01:02] <ZoeyMarie> how do I make it so that "Master Volume" in Volume Control controls PCM?

[01:04] <saif> any ideas ??

[01:05] <CatEater> anyone know a confirmed working vm setup?
[01:05] <trelayne> anyone know what I need to install to use MASQUERADE in iptables?
 i did alot of experements before i ask this question
[01:06] <xps9000> saif: Hmm, have you tried to just connect the yahoo, without the hotmail account running?
[01:06] <saif> yes
[01:06] <icarus> Out_
[01:06] <saif> and i tried gychi too
[01:06] <saif> no use
[01:06] <icarus> Out_
[01:07] <xps9000> Let me ask you this... Have you tried yahoo's web messenger to login to the account?
[01:07] <icarus> outcold
[01:07] <xps9000> Then try logging in with pig
[01:07] <xps9000> pid*
[01:07] <DaZ-> trelayne, imo just iptables :f
[01:07] <saif> no
[01:07] <oboxodo> adaptr: just read syslog-ng's docs. No reference to a way to split config in more than one file
[01:07] <ZoeyMarie> how do I make it so that "Master Volume" in Volume Control controls PCM?
[01:07] <saif> but i can login from the website
[01:07] <trelayne> DaZ-, thanks but when I do iptable -L  i don't see the masquerade entry
[01:08] <ultra> hi i am trying to help a friend, he has ubuntu x86 and his refresh rate wont go above 60hz
[01:08] <ultra> i had him send me his xorg.conf and it is practically empty
[01:08] <xps9000> Saif: Try running the web messenger here: webmessenger.yahoo.com
[01:08] <ultra> he has nv 9400gt 512mb adapter
[01:08] <DaZ-> trelayne, add it? :f
[01:08] <saif> xps9000 : 1min
[01:09] <ultra> and a philips 109b crt that can handle 1920x1440x32bpp@60hz, but we really want to allow 1024x768 to run at 120hz
[01:09] <ultra> is there some kind of easy to use configure screen to help him get a proper xorg.conf
[01:09] <trelayne> DaZ-, I mean if I do:  iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE   ,  I don't see anything about masquerade when I do iptable -L
[01:10] <johny000000> ultra: What is his video card?
[01:10] <lovegrows> HAM
[01:10] <DaZ-> trelayne, me too, so it means you're doing it wrong
[01:10] <DaZ-> unfortunately i suck at iptables [;
[01:11] <trelayne> DaZ-,  ok... will have to take a closer look at my sources :-)
[01:11] <bucky> ultra, System=>Preferences=>Display ?
[01:11] <bucky> ultra, 120 is prolly too high
[01:11] <PRO-DRIVE> hello guys :) what is that error mean ??      This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.
[01:11] <bucky> PRO-DRIVE, did you sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f  ?
[01:12] <stealth-> how can I tell how much ram I have?
[01:12] <PRO-DRIVE> bucky: yup !
[01:12] <trelayne> DaZ-,  no problem, thanks though
[01:12] <DaZ-> stealth-, free -m ? :f
[01:12] <xps9000> free -m, stealth-
[01:12] <xps9000> aye
[01:12] <xps9000> Beat me to it
[01:12] <xps9000> lol
[01:12] <DaZ-> \o/
[01:12] <FloodBot2> xps9000: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:12] <johny000000> PRO-DRIVE: Your sources.list is messed up. It happened to me on 8.10
[01:12] <xps9000> lol, automated bots ftl.
[01:13] <stealth-> xps9000: thanks
[01:13] <ultra> video adapter: geforce 9400gt 512mb
[01:13] <ultra> believe he said he has the 180 series nvidia drivers installed
[01:13] <PRO-DRIVE>  johny000000: so do you have any idea how to fix it ?
[01:13] <rww> xps9000: Using the Enter key repeatedly ftl.
[01:13] <xps9000> stealth-: Daz- beat me to it <.< Thank him
[01:13] <johny000000> ultra: does he have the right driver?
[01:13] <xps9000> rww: A threshold of two characters is rather extreme
[01:13] <ultra> not sure , i am only ssh'd in
[01:13] <stealth-> heh, thanks DaZ- :P
[01:14] <stealth-> didnt see it originally, sorry bout that
[01:14] <ultra> how do people usually do refresh rate overides in linux
[01:14] <bucky> ultra, what does glxinfo say
[01:14] <bucky> ultra nvidia-xconfig
[01:14] <ultra> um when i type it from ssh i get warhell@warhell-desktop:/etc/X11$ glxinfo
[01:14] <ultra> Error: unable to open display
[01:15] <ultra> should He run that?
[01:15] <johny000000> PRO-DRIVE: Rename sources.list to sources.list.old and run apt-get update
[01:16] <johny000000> ultra: open the nvidia terminal and you should be able to adjust the resolution if the driver permits it
[01:16] <PRO-DRIVE>  johny000000: thx for help :) i will try :)
[01:16] <ultra> yea
[01:16] <binarymutant> what's the ubuntu council's irc channel?
[01:16] <ultra> his xorg.conf is boned
[01:17] <ultra> VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[01:17] <ultra>                   Device section "Configured Video Device" must have a Driver
[01:17] <ultra>                   line.
[01:17] <ultra> results from nvidia-xconfig
[01:18] <grody> well, erm, you only need to add either nv or nvidia into the driver variable
[01:18] <johny000000> I would try running 'fixvesa' with the xserver down and then reinstall the driver
[01:19] <Schmitty> how can i mount a floppy disc in terminal?
[01:20] <JoeSomebody> hello, i am new to ubuntu (or any linux) got years of windows and other stuff, can somone point me at a real good internet site (or whatever) to learn the basic stuff about running and installing ubuntu programs?
[01:20] <JoeSomebody> pretty impressed so far btw :)
[01:20] <sebsebseb> !new |  JoeSomebody
[01:20] <Flannel> !synaptic | JoeSomebody
[01:20] <darlside420genec> schmitty sudo mount /dev/fd0 /directory name
[01:21] <sebsebseb> !apt |  JoeSomebody
[01:21] <darlside420genec> schmitty your can do a ls /dev/fd* to ensure that is correct
[01:21] <JoeSomebody> nice, thanks
[01:21] <DaZ-> i hate this bot :f
[01:21] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: so  yep you can install graphically or using commands
[01:22] <johny000000> JoeSomebody: Try man 'command' with every program you need info for. it is pretty easy and informative
[01:22] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: I  suggest giving synaptic a good browse, since your new, and trying   things that you want to
[01:22] <Schmitty> darlside420genec: this worked :) Why do I have to specify a filesystem for cd's but nor for floppys?
[01:23] <JoeSomebody> most must go grapically i presume?
[01:23] <mdg> Does anyone know if audio playback can be controlled with a foot pedal?
[01:23] <JoeSomebody> i did 1 thing in synaptic, was straight-forward
[01:25] <mdg> Does anyone know if audio playback can be controlled with something other than keyboard/mouse?
[01:25] <Schmitty> darlside420genec: it says mount point /media/fd0/ does not exist
[01:25] <JoeSomebody> i didnt expect the install to b even easier than windows, nice goin whoever :)
[01:26] <darlside420genec> i'm not 100 percent sure since sometimes you do need to specify
[01:26] <mdg> JoeSomebody: first time installing Linux?
[01:26] <JoeSomebody> yes
[01:26] <darlside420genec> usually mac Os needs vfat iso9660 etc
[01:26] <mdg> JoeSomebody: did you try the live cd first?
[01:26] <JoeSomebody> and i just went for it, didnt read a thing :)
[01:27] <JoeSomebody> i downloaded ubuntu 9.04 desktop, burned and installed it
[01:27] <Schmitty> but why does it say /mount/fd0 doesn't exist? i know it doesn't exist! it's supoosed to create it
[01:27] <mdg> JoeSomebody: make sure you add the medibuntu repos and also let everything update for a much much better experience
[01:28] <JoeSomebody> ok will check that out
[01:28] <mdg> JoeSomebody: welcome to Linux!
[01:28] <darlside420genec> schmitty: type mount to display your current mounts and where they are mounted in your filesystem
[01:29] <sebsebseb> !md5sum | JoeSomebody
[01:29] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: that's a good idea to make sure your download is good, if you stil have the ISO, you can still do it
[01:29] <JoeSomebody> as a respected windows tech in my area i can convert many over once i get to where i need to be :)
[01:30] <rahmu> hey guys i need help. The sound has gone off. I'm using Jaunty (Xfce). Any ideas what to do?
[01:30] <mdg> JoeSomebody: what made you go linux?
[01:30] <JoeSomebody> i need to learn a lot, to be able to help others
[01:30] <jiohdi> rahmu, happened to me just recently... try aumix
[01:30] <rahmu> aumix ?
[01:30] <jiohdi> rahmu, I found all setting had been turned to zero
[01:31] <rhlin99> question:  how do i edit a config file?  I get an error stated that i dont have permission.
[01:31] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody  mdg   I can see this turning into interesting offtopic, but still offtopic,  so  #ubuntu-offtopic  would be better
[01:31] <JoeSomebody> well MS has made such a mes of the pc industry, (vista & windows7) i had to finally commit the time to come over here
[01:31] <jiohdi> rahmu, you will find it under multimedia
[01:31] <sebsebseb> !ot |  JoeSomebody
[01:31] <IdleOne> rhlin99: gksudo gedit
[01:32] <rahmu> yeah i just did. Levels were fine though ...
[01:32] <JoeSomebody> i know linux works much better and faster
[01:32] <jiohdi> rahmu, sorry, must be a different problem
[01:32] <rhlin99> Idleone:  do I have to be in terminal and it the etc directory?
[01:32] <rahmu> yep.thx anyway
[01:32] <mdg> JoeSomebody: ClI commands will get you there fast
[01:32] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: welcome to the channal yeah,   but  the ops  and  people like that,  aren't to keen on  off topic here, hence the suggestion to  move to the other channal
[01:33] <aj_444> My computer doesn't shut down when running ubuntu, does anybody know how to solve this?
[01:33] <JoeSomebody> understandable
[01:33] <IdleOne> rhlin99: you can hit alt F2 and type gksudo nautilus then navigate to the file and open it.
[01:33] <rahmu> rhlin99: no just hit alt+F2, gksudo gedit and the path to the file
[01:33] <mdg> JoeSomebody: you know about synaptic to install software?
[01:34] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: synaptic hmm
[01:34] <JoeSomebody> wel i only used it once, so not really
[01:34] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: you know  the command prompt in Windows? sure you do?
[01:34] <JoeSomebody> yes, i go back to dos
[01:34] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: well  the   terminal/konsole/shell    is way better in Linux/Unix
[01:35] <maco> JoeSomebody: its what powershell was modeled after, if that's any reference
[01:35] <sabot> How do you use find to print absolute paths instead of relative paths?
[01:35] <mdg> JoeSomebody: dpk -l will list all installed apps
[01:35] <JoeSomebody> i wrote apps and delivered them on dos /novell lans in early 90's
[01:35] <IdleOne> dpkg -l
[01:35] <fabiosl> Anybody with ATI VideoCard?
[01:35] <mdg> JoeSomebody: apt-cache search <name of app> will let you search for apps
[01:35] <JoeSomebody> but i am not a coder for many years now
[01:35] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: synaptic  can be useful sure,  but it's  just a gui  for the shell/terminal  and so
[01:36] <sebsebseb> !terminal |  JoeSomebody
[01:36] <mdg> JoeSomebody: apt-cache show <name of app> will tell you about the apps
[01:36] <Lord_Devi> you guys are all answering questions that haven't been asked yet :p
[01:36] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: sudo apt-get install program             sudo apt-get   purge program  will remove it with config files,  and  you can do  sudo apt-get remove on it's own as well,   thousands of programs available to instal just like that from the repos
[01:36] <sebsebseb> !repos | JoeSomebody
[01:37] <JoeSomebody> i am copying/logging this stuff for later of course
[01:38] <rhlin99> idelone:  when dyndns create a block for the config file do I delete the one already created by default?
[01:38] <mdg> JoeSomebody: what app you using for IRC?
[01:39] <Guest40325>  hi, I bought a technika mp3 player but when I plug it in, ubuntu does not see it, its charging but Its not seeing it, any ideas????
[01:40] <mralexandro> i can not seem to get emerald to be primary theme
[01:40] <mdg> Guest40325: is it microsoft based?
[01:40] <JoeSomebody> i used xchat on that, i am on 4 pc here on a switcxhbox, this one is xp/mirc
[01:40] <Guest40325> I have no idea, just a cheap one from tesco, can't see any Msoft logo's
[01:40] <rhlin99> when dyndns create a block for the config file do I delete the one already created by default?
[01:41] <JoeSomebody> i would like a good linux irc client that has loads of features , i am spoiled a bit there
[01:41] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: Konversation is  nice as a graphical app,  KDE though.  and IRSSI  after configuring can be pretty good in the terminal, and people tend to use screen with that
[01:41] <mdg> Guest40325: if its not seen as a "USB" device it is probably MTP based
[01:41] <sebsebseb> !kde |  JoeSomebody
[01:41] <rhlin99> rahmu: when dyndns create a block for the config file do I delete the one already created by default?
[01:41] <sebsebseb> !gnome |  JoeSomebody
[01:41] <mdg> Guest40325: install Gnomad2 through Synaptic, or setup Rhythmbox or Amarok for MTP
[01:41] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: KDE apps can be run in Gnome, and Gnome apps can be run in KDE,  most of them, not all of them
[01:42] <exapid> Joe you can download PlayOnLinux and install mirc if your use to it, works really well
[01:42] <JoeSomebody> wow lots of info, i'm gonna be busy :)
[01:42] <sebsebseb> !irc >  JoeSomebody
[01:42] <Guest40325> ok thanks, il give that a go
[01:42] <exapid> still recommend you use a native irc client XD
[01:42] <RonWhoCares> Where are the directions to configure the network card?
[01:42] <RonWhoCares> for high speed internet
[01:42] <sebsebseb> exapid: well obviously, but xchat is
[01:42] <mdg> JoeSomebody: irssi is the way to go for IRC
[01:42] <sebsebseb> exapid: or you meant  for KDE Gnome,  when running in the other one?
[01:43] <darlside420genec> RonWhoCares /etc/network/interfaces
[01:43] <BioVore> JoeSomebody: kvirc and xchat are failry feature ritch.
[01:43] <Lord_Devi> JoeSomebody: If you're a feature whore, try kvirc from kde's desktop for irc.
[01:43] <exapid> Doesnt matter what GUI you use
[01:43] <Stronze> i installed festival via package manger but it didnt add a shortcut to the drop menu and i cant figure out how to get a shortcut in the menu
[01:43] <exapid> PlayOnLinux is virtually wine
[01:43] <darlside420genec> RonWhoCares many configuration file for initalizing your network card dhcp or static
[01:44] <RonWhoCares> Is there a web page that shows it
[01:44] <RonWhoCares> how to do it
[01:44] <rahmu> rhlin99: sorry i really dont know
[01:44] <sebsebseb> !wine >  JoeSomebody
[01:45] <Stronze> i installed festival via package manger but it didnt add a shortcut to the drop menu and i cant figure out how to get a shortcut in the menu
[01:45] <sebsebseb> !virtualbox > JoeSomebody
[01:45] <JoeSomebody> in case y'all havent been thanked lately - I 4 1 appreciate you helpers :)
[01:45] <thiebaude> !dualboot
[01:46] <mdg> Stronze: I think ou can add it to the menu via editing the main menu via control center
[01:46] <mdg> ou/you
[01:46] <Stronze> how i access that?
[01:47] <sebsebseb> exapid: JoeSomebody yep this  is a good way to do it for an app when it comes to Linux,  native Linux app,   then  if  there isn't one  that is good enough Wine, no luck there,    Windows virtual machine
[01:47] <mdg> Stronze: menu button > Preferences
[01:47] <JoeSomebody> can ubuntu access all my ntfs stuff on the netowrk without issues? my shares seem to be there for the browsing ...
[01:47] <lotus> hey, is it possible to automount sshfs at startup if you have to use a password to login?
[01:47] <sebsebseb> !samba |  JoeSomebody
[01:47] <mdg> Stronze: menu button > System >Preferences > Main menu
[01:47] <JoeSomebody> wine works fine?
[01:48] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: depends on the program
[01:48] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: a lot of programs work rather well  just like that these days,  but others need configuring,  and  others won't work at all  yet
[01:48] <s0u1t> what's the best way to network period for ubuntu?
[01:48] <JoeSomebody> wow, people never get this much help in "other channels"
[01:48] <aj_444> Ubuntu doesn't shut down properly. Does anybody have a solution?
[01:49] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: I am not sure if they   get it normalley here either,  and it seems to be me doing it mainly now so :)
[01:49] <mdg> aj_444: what seems to be the problem?
[01:49] <JoeSomebody> wel thanks a pile
[01:50] <Stronze> mdg - can fidn the program festival
[01:50] <mdg> JoeSomebody: don't forget to add Medibuntu repos and update before you start playing
[01:50] <aj_444> mdg: I'm dual booting xp and UNR 9.10. When  I shut down XP, the system will turn off. Ubuntu, however, gets stuck at this black screen with one flashing - up in the left hand corner
[01:50] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: your  a  Windows  tech going Linux,   well  I am  someone that would like to be a  Linux tech :)   and not just servers and stuff like that, but right problem,   Windows still dominates on the consumer/homeuser/businessuer?   desktop,  but the times are changing so :)
[01:50] <m0r0n> Hey, is there a program where I can monitor my CPU/System temperature, and useage?
[01:50] <nation> hey peoplez
[01:50] <mdg> Stronze: you can add the entry in the menu where you want to
[01:51] <mdg> aj_444: how much time do you give it?
[01:51] <nation> can someone help me with  a firestarter issue
[01:51] <aj_444> mdg: Admittedly, not that long. I gave it around ten seconds, shut the thing, and walked away. apparently, my computer goes into hibernate when it shuts.
[01:51] <s0u1t> gnome system monitor works for those sort of things but not temperature
[01:52] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: you don't really need medibuntu
[01:52] <mdg> aj_444: give it a good 30 seconds - not that it takes mine that long
[01:52] <m0r0n> s0u1t: Anything that does for temperature?
[01:52] <pappanz> hello. I absolutely need some help. Do anyone know how to import claws mail directly from program folders?
[01:52] <JoeSomebody> ok looking thAt one up ...
[01:52] <aj_444> mdg: I'll try that. I'll be back if that doesn't work.
[01:52] <Stronze> mdg - cant find the damn program :/
[01:53] <arand> aj_444: if you change the /boot/grub/menu.lst entry for your kernel, removing quiet and splash, what is the last thing it says before shutdown (you'll have to reboot with those options), also, are you using any other boot parameters like acpi=off ?
[01:53] <mdg> Stronze: in the console type "whereis festival" and see what it returns
[01:53] <sebsebseb> !codecs |  JoeSomebody
[01:53] <mdg> Stronze: probably in /usr/bin
[01:53] <sebsebseb> !medibuntu >  JoeSomebody
[01:53] <JoeSomebody> k
[01:53] <aj_444> arand: I'm not that tech literate. I have no idea what you just said.
[01:54] <s0u1t> m0r0n: not sure, never needed to look
[01:54] <pappanz> I've got claws-mail folders from a linux backup and now I have to restore them into claws for windows...
[01:54] <sebsebseb> arand:   aj_444    there's also a graphical program called startup manager, which can help  with  editing  the  Grub bootloader
[01:55] <mdg> Stronze: any luck?
[01:55] <Stronze> mdg - yeah its in menu and linked to the program and i replaced it where i want it.but it wont load
[01:56] <mdg> Stronze: did you add it as a new item or a new menu item?
[01:56] <mralexandro> can anyone who have some knowledge about emerald plz look at this link and tell me how to get those transparent effects inside the folders?
[01:56] <mralexandro> http://www.compiz-themes.org/content/show.php/Black+Crystal+y?content=101121
[01:56] <s0u1t> m0r0n: www.bradtrupp.com/ubuntu-cpu-temperature.html
[01:56] <s0u1t> that seems to have some insight
[01:56] <Stronze> mdg - let me check
[01:57] <miketosh> HELP! Just upgraded to 9.04, and the panel icons keep disappearing (until I hover, sometimes I need to click) and my fonts are blurry, and after a while become blacked out
[01:57] <maco> mralexandro: emerald is not really recommended....upstream's ignoring it in hopes of it going away
[01:57] <maco> mralexandro: the default window decorator for compiz, gtk-window-decorator, is more stable
[01:57] <miketosh> I did a fresh install and got the same problem
[01:57] <mralexandro> maco,  alright, so i should rather use gtk themes then?
[01:57] <mdg> Stronze: first, how do you start festival?
[01:58] <Tonisius> without an emergency disk, or another linux partition to load, how can I force a kernel to load up the filesystem in RW mode.  Currently the fstab has some invalid options, and I can't edit it due to the fact that it defaults the system into RO mode.
[01:58] <Lars_G> hi again
[01:58] <Lars_G> run
[01:58] <mdg> Stronze: I don't have it - do you just type "festival"
[01:58] <mralexandro> maco, is there a configurator for those themes except the normal appearence tab?
[01:58] <maco> mralexandro: compiz can use metacity themes just fine. and itll probably insert semi-transparency automatically
[01:58] <m0r0n> s0u1t: How do I install a program using make, I tried... cd ~/Desktop/lm_sensors-3.1.1; make clean; make; sudo make install;  It completes a task for sudo make install, but I don't see it anywhere
[01:58] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: this is  normalley recommended around here as well  http://www.ubutupocketguide.com  and this site is good for finding out about distros http://www.distrowatch.com  and I think you have enough links now to get started pretty nicely,  good luck with that, altough the learning curve doesn't tend to be that steep with Ubuntu
[01:58] <Stronze> mdg - i dont know.i just got it
[01:59] <thiebaude> JoeSomebody: pocket guide is excellent
[01:59] <s0u1t> sudo apt-get install xsensors
[01:59] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: hmm   link  I gave had a typeo  http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com
[01:59] <mdg> Stronze: try typing "festival" in a console and see if it starts
[01:59] <miketosh> help, jackalope's gnome isn't working
[01:59] <s0u1t> I think
[01:59] <s0u1t> one sec
[01:59] <maco> mralexandro: that's the only way i know besides editing the theme yourself... but i dont use a normal window manager, so i dont know if a tool for creating metacity themes has been created
[01:59] <Lars_G> something's... wrong... I have jaunty the netbook edition, the apt sources seem to be the normal jaunty ones, but there are what I consider "basic" packages missing from the repos, and I have it all, main, universe and multiverse (and partner)
[01:59] <Lars_G> stuff like mc, a full vim, etc
[01:59] <mralexandro> maco, what window manager do you use ?
[01:59] <maco> mralexandro: xmonad
[02:00] <mdg> Stronze: once we know how it starts, we get the correct command in the launcher window
[02:00] <JoeSomebody> right on, you guys rock
[02:00] <mralexandro> maco and that is more stable than metacity and emerald?
[02:00] <maco> mralexandro: its a completely different workflow
[02:00] <Stronze> For details type `(festival_warranty)'
[02:00] <Stronze> festival>
[02:00] <maco> mralexandro: also, emerald is not a window manager
[02:00] <dholbert> Anyone know how to get set up with an account on people.ubuntu.com? ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PeopleUbuntuCom )
[02:00] <thiebaude> !emerald
[02:00] <m0r0n> s0u1t: got it, the site was doing what I was doing too, need to restart
[02:00] <Lars_G> Any idea why these packages are missing?
[02:00] <miketosh> anyone? 9.04 seems unusable.  Fonts get corrupted, font rendering is worse every minute
[02:00] <mdg> Stronze: just to confirm, it starts with "festival"?
[02:00] <dholbert> (I can't connect to people.ubuntu.com, using my username & SSH key posted on launchpad)
[02:01] <maco> mralexandro: emerald and gtk-window-decorator are two window decorators for compiz. they draw the colored border and titlebar on windows when you use compiz.
[02:01] <mralexandro> maco,  sorry i mixed, metacity and compiz is window managers, gtk and emerald is decors
[02:01] <paissad-hp> hi everybody !
[02:01] <s0u1t> alrighty
[02:01] <ikla> does a GDM theme  theme the Lock screen?
[02:01] <maco> mralexandro: well "gtk" on its own refers to the widget toolkit. thats why i keep saying the whole g-w-d version
[02:01] <JoeSomebody> i am off now to read tons, i'll try not to bug you too much next week :)
[02:01] <paissad-hp> i have a  cron which never runs, but if i run it into console, everything's ok
[02:01] <paissad-hp> http://pastebin.com/f36486c4d
[02:01] <Stronze> mdg - nothing came up but what i paste what it showed in terminal
[02:01] <paissad-hp> that's the cron job , how can i solve that ?
[02:02] <paissad-hp> thanks in advance
[02:02] <mralexandro> maco, understood:)
[02:02] <administrator__> how do i change directory to my cd drive in the command line and view the contents
[02:02] <maco> mralexandro: xmonad is a tiling window manager. it suits my workflow (all windows either take the whole screen or they squish right up against each other in columns) better. it also doesnt have titlebars
[02:02] <maco> administrator__: cd /media/cdrom ?
[02:02] <mralexandro> ok
[02:02] <mdg> Stronze: ? you lost me
[02:02] <Stronze> mdg - its suppost to bea  text to audio program
[02:03] <Lars_G> any tips? is this somehow being detected as a smaller netbook repo, or is stuff like MC not in the std repos anymore?
[02:03] <administrator__> thanks
[02:03] <LordMetroid> $200 for a hard drive... Man that ain't cheap!
[02:03] <Stronze> mdg - no console control came up.its running in terminal
[02:03] <mdg> Stronze: what kind of text will it be "reading" to you?  webpage or what?
[02:03] <miketosh> how can I keep my panel icons from disappearing
[02:03] <thiebaude> LordMetroid: thats alot
[02:03] <Stronze> as far as i know it will read pdf and such
[02:03] <aj_444> mdg: I waited three minutes. it never shut down
[02:03] <billybigrigger> anyone here familiar with unetbootin?
[02:03] <LordMetroid> thiebaude, yes ssd... now I go to offtopic where I intended to write
[02:04] <aj_444> billybigrigger: yup. why?
[02:04] <thiebaude> billybigrigger: i used it many times
[02:04] <ubuntu> I am trying to install from usbstick all going fine so far..but in prepare disk space im slightly uncertain what its saying..I get sda1 and 2 are stuck as that is vista...but dev3 is 119gb and it wants to put 117.3gb there and 2.5gb to 'ubuntu 9.04'..what on earth does it mean ??? ;)
[02:04] <billybigrigger> i've used it to create a liveusb and when i go to boot the usb stick, i get an error from extlinux saying it can't find linux
[02:04] <rhlin99> which is better gnome or kde?
[02:04] <paissad-hp> how can i make this cron job works please, it does work when i run from theh console but not at crontab :-( http://pastebin.com/f36486c4d
[02:04] <billybigrigger> so do i need to edit extlinux.cfg or something?
[02:04] <Stronze> mdg - bah dont worry about.im gonna remove it and find another program
[02:05] <mdg> Stronze: espeak isanother app - but its console too
[02:05] <mdg> Stronze: I had it read me a web page the other day
[02:05] <Stronze> mdg - i just need a program to read pdf files
[02:05] <sebsebseb__> JoeSomebody: some of us yeah
[02:05] <billybigrigger> thiebaude: ???
[02:06] <billybigrigger> aj_444: ???
[02:06] <mdg> Stronze: you mean read what the pdf contains - i.e. spoken?
[02:06] <thiebaude> im here
[02:06] <Stronze> mdg - i downloaded the healthcare bill in congress but no way in well am i gonna read 1100 pages so i want to listen to it while i do other things
[02:06] <aj_444> I'm having issues shutting down ubuntu. mdg suggested I wait awhile, I gave it three minutes, and still the system wouldn't shut down. Help please.
[02:06] <billybigrigger> thiebaude: can't find linux
[02:06] <mdg> Stronze: ahh, i see
[02:06] <thiebaude> billybigrigger: on their site?
[02:06] <mdg> Stronze: espeak should be able to do that too - just pass it the file name
[02:07] <mdg> Stronze: also, pick a nice voice and speech rate
[02:07] <thiebaude> billybigrigger: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[02:07] <Kapace> how do i check how much memory is in use from terminal?
[02:07] <mdg> Stronze: espeak -f <file name>
[02:07] <s0u1t> top
[02:07] <s0u1t> kapace
[02:07] <s0u1t> I think is the command
[02:07] <Rocko> is compiz fusion still the main one to use ?
[02:07] <Kapace> s0u1t, ok where do i look>?
[02:08] <s0u1t> the mem line
[02:08] <Kapace> oh right heh
[02:08] <njs_> I keep getting kernel panics. The text is "run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory". Yet I know the file is there and executable and there's nothing wrong with $PATH.
[02:08] <s0u1t> total used etc
[02:08] <Kapace> is 9.8mb free bad?
[02:08] <thiebaude> billybigrigger: besides usb, distros can be installed on the hard drive too
[02:08] <s0u1t> not necessarily
[02:08] <Kapace> i think it is, really slow
[02:08] <Kapace> i don't have a swap
[02:08] <s0u1t> yeah actually
[02:09] <mdg> Stronze: I'm seeing if I can get a PDF to work in espeak right now....
[02:09] <Kapace> i guess im going to have to make file swap
[02:09] <s0u1t> if i'm reading mine right it looks like it segregates that which is being used as buffer
[02:09] <Kapace> (pagefile)
[02:09] <s0u1t> yeah
[02:09] <aj_444> mdg: I tried waiting for the machine to shut down. It never did.
[02:09] <Stronze> mdg - thanks.so just espeak -f file location/filename?
[02:09] <ShawnR> i am using ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop with synaptics touchpad, i am having issues setting up the tap zones, can anyone help?
[02:10] <billybigrigger> thiebaude: can't find anything on it
[02:10] <mdg> Stronze: yes, but you will want to investigate the options for speaker and speed, etc or you will go mad!
[02:10] <njs_> Can anybody help with that kernel panic?
[02:10] <s0u1t> actually kapace, what's your four fvalues
[02:10] <s0u1t> values that is
[02:11] <Lars_G> any tips? is this somehow being detected as a smaller netbook repo, or is stuff like MC not in the std repos anymore?

[02:12] <aj_444> I am having trouble shutting down ubuntu. I get as far as the ubuntu screen and the line going the opposite direction it does at startup. Then the screen goes black and theres a blinking white - up in the left hand corner. There it stays. I've wa
[02:13] <joako> I started to use Ubuntu yesterday and I had some questions...
[02:13] <s0u1t> yeahI think that's bad, A. ubuntu needs like 256 or something bare minimum these days so your skating the line, B. I was going to say that the buffers looks like it's part of the "used" value, which makes used deceptive because buffers is what's being used to buffer files and can be recycled instantly when needed
[02:13] <aj_444> ed around five minutes and still nothing
[02:13] <Stronze> okay its reading i think
[02:13] <s0u1t> I think
[02:13] <Kapace> s0u1t, i see
[02:13] <Balgan> joako ask
[02:13] <thiebaude> joako: ok
[02:13] <Stronze> mdg - your right it will drive me insane
[02:13] <mdg> I forgotthe option in espeak that tells it to read a webpage
[02:13] <sebsebseb> aj_444: does it turn off  on it's own like it's meant to or not?
[02:13] <joako> What is the ideal way to share logins + home directories? In CentOS we used LDAP and NFS,  which seems to work ok on Ubuntu too.
[02:13] <s0u1t> but you only have a small amount doing that it looks like so likely can't open much more application wise
[02:13] <mdg> Stronze: :)
[02:13] <Stronze> mdg - how i edit voice and speed?
[02:13] <s0u1t> (without a page file)
[02:13] <sebsebseb> aj_444: does the computer still turn off on it's own?
[02:14] <aj_444> sebsebseb: No. I have to hold down the power button to get it to shut down.
[02:14] <mdg> Stronze: espeak --help will list where to find those
[02:14] <Tonisius> /quit
[02:14] <ShawnR> anyone know of a smaller ubuntu channel where i might find some help for more specific problems?
[02:14] <joako> Can I make a custom install disk with the updates already and customize the package selection and some settings?
[02:14] <mdg> Stronze: I can't get past the index with all the dots...... LOL
[02:15] <sebsebseb> aj_444: I see,   well  not sure what's causing it, but   what I do know is, that you can  hold down your power button and turn off  a  Linux distro,  without it  complaining at you the next time you turn it on again, like Windows would
[02:15] <s0u1t> Kapace are you using Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu?
[02:15] <thiebaude> ShawnR: not sure about #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:15] <ShawnR> aj_444 my laptop does the same thing, when i hit Ctrl+Alt+Del there, it then finally stops/unmounts the HDD, and then "reboots" with no problem
[02:15] <Kapace> s0u1t, vanilla ubuntu
[02:15] <sebsebseb> aj_444: basically  you  don't have to  shut down  like  you would Windows,  just use the power button if you like
[02:15] <Kapace> im making my swap file right now
[02:15] <thiebaude> ShawnR: but you can ask away and we can try to answer your questions
[02:15] <s0u1t> I'm not an expert but you might want to try xubuntu or something lighter
[02:16] <aj_444> sebsebseb: I remember reading somewhere it was bad for your comptuer to do that
[02:16] <sebsebseb> aj_444: I  think if you  switch it off via the plug then, yes possibily
[02:16] <Kapace> s0u1t, yeah, but 9.04 is light enough for me for now
[02:16] <aj_444> ShawnR: So, I wait til I get the black screen, then do the Ctrl alt dlt thing then?
[02:16] <sebsebseb> aj_444: ,but  via the power button  it should be alright,  plus then the hardware knows, it's going to turn off?
[02:17] <aj_444> sebsebseb: Mmkay.
[02:17] <rww> sebsebseb: If by "using the power button" you mean pressing it, thus causing an ACPI event that tells the OS to shut down, that's fine in both Windows and Linux. If you mean holding down the power button, that's a bad idea in both as it doesn't cleanly unmount.
[02:17] <Stronze> mdg - it lets me test speeds but i cant figure out how to make it accept that speed
[02:18] <aj_444> rww: I have to hold the power button to get it to shut down. hitting it does nothing.
[02:18] <s0u1t> lol, ok. My experience in the past is that ubuntu and less than 512 is sluggish, (i've tried 384MB on a 700mhz p3 at least)
[02:18] <Stronze> mdg - id like a program that ran on the desktop instead of terminal :/
[02:18] <ShawnR> aj_444 yes, if you try hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2, etc, you will see the screen where it shows what it is stuck on
[02:18] <mdg> Stronze: perhaps orca?
[02:18] <Kapace> s0u1t, i find that everything flys without swap until you hit your mem limit
[02:19] <mdg> Stronze: gnome-orca
[02:19] <rww> aj_444: if you do that *after* telling it to shut down and getting to the blinking white line, that's generally fine, since part of the stuff that happens when you get the "going backwards" Ubuntu line is the disks unmounting.
[02:19] <Kapace> then it starts to crash
[02:19] <rww> aj_444: It's equivalent to the "It's now safe to turn off your computer" screen from Windows 9x, basically.
[02:19] <s0u1t> yeah, that sounds about right, but in vanilla ubuntu I think you hit that limit rather quickly!
[02:19] <aj_444> rww: sounds good. Could the white blinking line have something to do with GRUB?
[02:19] <sebsebseb> rww: well   I  have  held the power button down on this computer loads now with Ubuntu,   and  not had any issues as  a  result,  as far as I know
[02:20] <mdg> Stronze: maybe not....
[02:20] <Stronze> hmm gnome-orca is already installed
[02:20] <wo> 能说中文么？
[02:20] <thiebaude> !cn
[02:20] <sebsebseb> rww: unless  when  I had Ext3,   some of  those  former  ages ago,   disk check errors was caused by that, but probably not
[02:20] <rww> sebsebseb: Well, I've done it tonnes of times on Windows and also not had an issue. Doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
[02:20] <thiebaude> rww: i've never done that
[02:21] <rww> aj_444: I'm not sure. It started happening to me a while ago when I set some ACPI stuff incorrectly in my BIOS. I suppose if you disabled ACPI from GRUB it might also cause it.
[02:21] <sebsebseb> rww: his error could be to do with HAL?
[02:21] <dividebyzer0> I installed the .deb for cinelerra where does it go so I can run it?
[02:22] <aj_444> dividebyzer0: Search for it in synaptic
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> dividebyzer0:  try typing cine<tab> in a terminal
[02:22] <dividebyzer0> aj_444: it didnt find anything
[02:22] <rww> aj_444, sebsebseb: Probably the easiest thing to figure this out would be to disable usplash in GRUB so you can see the shutdown messages and see if it's successfully terminating running programs, shutting down services (including HAL), unmounting, etc.
[02:22] <Stronze> mdg - i keep googling diff words but it wont give me a direct PDF txt to audio reader
[02:22] <aj_444> rww: howwould I do that?
[02:22] <mdg> Stronze: you using adobe acrobat reader?
[02:22] <michaelc> hello
[02:23] <michaelc> hmmm
[02:23] <mdg> Stronze: or acroread?
[02:23] <sebsebseb> aj_444: your issue will probably disappper in Karmic,  which isn't released as a final yet.   also  HAL is being replaced in that one
[02:23] <aj_444> dividebyzer0: hmm. weird. sometimes you just need to click on the zipped file and it'll install itself
[02:23] <michaelc> hello people
[02:23] <michaelc> how can i stop my microphone muteing
[02:23] <DigitalKiwi> sebsebseb: what is hal being replaced by?
[02:23] <aj_444> sebsebseb: I am actually running karmic currently. jaunty wouldn't recogonize my wireless/ethernet
[02:23] <dividebyzer0> aj_444: hm, Ill look around more.. I did a file search and it didnt find anything, I even restarted
[02:23] <Stronze> emd - i finally got the right combo in google and found a list of programs
[02:23] <sebsebseb> aj_444: ah ha I see
[02:24] <sebsebseb> aj_444: same here,   I think  I  had  a similar issue before,  or was that the vm,   by the way  for Karmic help you should be using #ubuntu+1 really
[02:24] <rww> aj_444: did you upgrade from jaunty or install karmic from scratch?
[02:24] <shamm> hi ubunters
[02:24] <michaelc> anyone no how to stop microphones stop muteing them self in the sound tools
[02:24] <mdg> Stronze: looks like PDFs need to be converted to regular text to be read
[02:24] <mdg> Stronze: in both Orca and espeak and probably festival
[02:24] <aj_444> rww: I installed from scratch. I deleted a partition I had of jaunty.
[02:24] <sebsebseb> aj_444: this psyicail install seems to be shutting down fine, but the vm I had before this was a bit hmm
[02:25] <sebsebseb> !karmic  |  aj_444  rww
[02:25] <LinuxGold> can vmware run in console only?
[02:25] <aj_444> sebsebseb: oh. I didn't know there was a karmic help irc.
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> dividebyzer0:  thers ways to 'view' the contents of a .deb and see exactly whats in it and what it puts where.   or update the locate database, and try 'locate cinerella' to see what files exist with that name. (if cineralla) dosent work from the terminal, it may be a Upper Case C
[02:25] <rww> aj_444: then you're probably using GRUB2, and I have no idea if they changed the way you configured that. As sebsebseb said, #ubuntu+1 is probably a good idea :)
[02:25] <rww> s/you configured that/one configures that/
[02:25] <aj_444> I'll check that out.
[02:25] <s0u1t> LinuxGold what do you mean?'
[02:26] <Lars_G> any tips? is this somehow being detected as a smaller netbook repo, or is stuff like MC not in the std repos anymore?
[02:26] <LinuxGold> s0u1t: I'm running ubuntu-server, I do not want to install X server.  I want to run Windows XP in vmware, can that be done?
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> !info mc
[02:26] <maco> Dr_Willis, dividebyzer0: dpkg -c <package>.deb will list contents
[02:26] <Lars_G> meh
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> Lars_G:  mc =
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> Lars_G:  mc =  'universe
[02:26] <s0u1t> yes
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> :)
[02:26] <Lars_G> Dr_Willis: I found it, for some reason it hadn't done the apt-get update as I asked.
[02:26] <s0u1t> which version of vmware though?
[02:26] <Lars_G> thanks
[02:26] <LinuxGold> s0u1t: anything that works and free.

[02:27] <poet> Hi.  My System Monitor shows one of my CPU's running at 100%, but the process list shows no process using any significant amount of CPU.  Any idea why this is happening?
[02:27] <LinuxGold> poet: try top -i?
[02:27] <Stronze> mdg - im checking out the adobe Read Out Load
[02:27] <mdg> Stronze: http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/espeak - theres a script to convert PDF to text and then MP3 about two-thirds way down page
[02:28] <mdg> Stronze: let me know if that works...
[02:28] <poet> LinuxGold: it saysa  command called whiptail is using 100% cpu
[02:28] <s0u1t> haha, well vmware server 1.x has the "Vmware console" gui app which requires x to be used on the host but I believe can be "remoted to" when you have the "console" installed elsewhere with gui

[02:28] <bruenig> lulz DigitalKiwi
[02:29] <dividebyzer0> still cant figure out where it went
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> filsuf:  use what you want. I use the netbook remix and install the normal gnome desktop
[02:29] <filsuf> I just use the real ubuntu and I cant really see why some wanna use the easy-peasy ...
[02:29] <m0r0n> Hey, my flash drive, nor my CD rom is being read, any idea what's going on?
[02:29] <dividebyzer0> I figured it would be in synaptic
[02:29] <DigitalKiwi> ah, thanks sebsebseb
[02:29] <DigitalKiwi> lulz bruenig
[02:29] <irfan_> please tell me
[02:29] <sebsebseb> DigitalKiwi: no probs
[02:29] <s0u1t> the actual virtual machines can be created elsewhere and moved to host or you can create them using either of those two methods remotely
[02:29] <filsuf> you know .... hackintosh is also running pretty well on Asus 1000 EEE PC
[02:29] <filsuf> ca va isabellf
[02:29] <irfan_> tell me please
[02:29] <FrozenFire[work]> In regards to the brochure I was talking about earlier, here's what I've come up with. It's simple, but relatively high quality. Unfortunately, I wanted to use Cleartype fonts such as Calibri and Candara, so Ubuntu users will have to install those manually (Details can be found via Google)
[02:30] <FrozenFire[work]> http://thefrozenfire.com/data/Ubuntu.doc
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> dividebyzer0:  that .deb is just docuemt files.......
[02:30] <sebsebseb> !patience |  irfan_
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> dividebyzer0:  theres no actual program in there.. Just docs and  keyring files..
[02:30] <sebsebseb> irfan_: and those links probably won't have your answer
[02:30] <dividebyzer0> I see that hrm..
[02:30] <aj_444> sebsebseb: I went to ubuntu+1.. there isn't anyone responding
[02:30] <sebsebseb> irfan_: does it have a camera on your phone?   by the way this is really off topic for this channal
[02:30] <dividebyzer0> Dr_Willis: well it added a repository though
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> dividebyzer0:  i used 'dpkg -c whatever.deb' like was mentioned earlier
[02:30] <irfan_> can i use my cell phone as a webcam
[02:30] <mdg> Stronze: hmm, I only have evince
[02:31] <michaelc> can someone help?
[02:31] <sebsebseb> aj_444: just wait
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> dividebyzer0:  yes the scripts could do most anything.. but adding a repo does NOT isntall the cineralla program.. you sould still need to update/upgrade/install cineralla then
[02:31] <irfan_> i have cemara in my phone
[02:31] <Biacz> looking for fancy gnome desktop apps. can someone give me a keyword to google for?
[02:31] <alex___> hi
[02:31] <cheetahw26> im trying to install ubuntu from within windows... after running the install it asked me to restart, which i did.. but now I get grub error 17
[02:31] <sebsebseb> irfan_: and can it  be used as a web cam?
[02:31] <Biacz> right now all of them are attached to panels
[02:31] <dividebyzer0> Dr_Willis: so where is the Cinelerra install then?
[02:31] <irfan_> yes
[02:31] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: oh you mean wubi?
[02:31] <irfan_> can i do it ?
[02:32] <cheetahw26> im booting into Puppy linux now, to edit the grub config... but I dont know what to enter/modify to fix
[02:32] <cheetahw26> yes... wubi
[02:32] <mdg> Stronze: is it working for you?
[02:32] <aj_444> sebsebseb: I'll try. <_<
[02:32] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: don't do wubi
[02:32] <dividebyzer0> Dr_Willis: ah.. found an entry in the synaptic
[02:32] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: Wubi can go bad yeah, and looks  like it has for you
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> dividebyzer0:  i would recheck the docs you are following.. You said it isntaleld a 'repository' THUS you need to run the package manager and look for cineralla now and actually install it.
[02:32] <Stronze> mdg - still figuring it out
[02:32] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: better to do a proper partitioned install and it's not hard
[02:32] <cheetahw26> i dont have much of a choice... there is no way to do a net install with a cd currently right?
[02:32] <dividebyzer0> Dr_Willis: it goes by "cinelerracv' thats why
[02:32] <sebsebseb> !install |  cheetahw26
[02:32] <sebsebseb> !dualboot |  cheetahw26
[02:32] <cheetahw26> im not worried about the complexity ... or dual booting by any means...
[02:33] <irfan_> please tell me can i use my cell phone camera as a web cam
[02:33] <Dr_Willis> irfan_:  ive never heard of that beind done.
[02:33] <sebsebseb> irfan_: does the device support such a feature?
[02:33] <s0u1t> irfan_ I've never heard of you being able to
[02:33] <cheetahw26> my laptop's cd rom is on the verge of breaking down... i am unable to get a proper install
[02:33] <dividebyzer0> irfan_: let me know if you can do that, ive never heard of it
[02:33] <sebsebseb> irfan_: what your asking, what has it to go to do with Ubuntu?
[02:33] <cheetahw26> i tested the cd on another laptop and the cd is perfectly fine..
[02:33] <irfan_> oh no
[02:33] <sebsebseb> irfan_: got to do above
[02:34] <irfan_> but we can do it into windows
[02:34] <s0u1t> can you?
[02:34] <dividebyzer0> how?
[02:34] <s0u1t> never heard of it in windows either
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> never seen it done in windows either. :)
[02:34] <cheetahw26> ive looked at the documentation about copying the .iso to a separate partition and booting to the install off of the hard drive, but haven't been able to get that to work either
[02:34] <dividebyzer0> unless only a proprietary phone can do it
[02:34] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: you can  boot the ISO in a virtual machine,  if your computer has enough RAM
[02:34] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: that  should work
[02:35] <cheetahw26> yeah... vm will work, but that is not what i want... i want to replace my windows install with ubuntu
[02:35] <s0u1t> no usb flash drive big enough?
[02:35] <sileni> hello everyone
[02:35] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: and I assume  the phone is  a USB device?   and  if so,   then  you should be able to   use it  with the  closed source version of Virtualbox  from http://www.virtualbox.org which has the USB support
[02:36] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: well  yes  that's  what you will be doing basically
[02:36] <cheetahw26> sebsebseb: phone??
[02:36] <centinul> I accidentally had a chown misshap on my 9.04 system. Now I can't use the Switch User portion of Ubuntu anymore. Where should I start looking?
[02:36] <De-Mentor> cheetahw26, there is a tool that dose it for you
[02:36] <DigitalKiwi> wront person sebsebseb
[02:36] <DigitalKiwi> wrong*
[02:36] <irfan_> i will try to do it and tell you
[02:36] <bruce89> called a spoon
[02:36] <s0u1t> hehe, I think you have two conversations mixed up sebsebseb
[02:37] <sebsebseb> s0u1t: uh that's happended before
[02:37] <cheetahw26> De-Mentor: what tool ?? wubi ?  thats the one I just tried and got the Grub Error 17
[02:37] <sebsebseb> irfan_: uh see above,  looks like  I  should have been  messaging you
[02:37] <De-Mentor> cheetahw26, you can boot from a usb drive
[02:37] <s0u1t> phone is irfan_, cheetahw26 is install ubuntu over windows without cd rom
[02:37] <mdg> Stronze: I'm downloading Adobe reader for linux now...
[02:37] <cheetahw26> im in puppy linux now, and I can rewrite the Grub, but not sure what is causing the error or how to repair... also can't find any documentation on how wubi is supposed to boot using grub
[02:38] <cheetahw26> De-Mentor: that would be great, but my laptop does not support booting from usb..
[02:38] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: unetbootin
[02:38] <sebsebseb> !usb |  cheetahw26
[02:38] <s0u1t> bummer
[02:38] <cheetahw26> s0u1t: thats what I just tried... and after was prompted to restart got Grub Error: 17
[02:38] <michaelc> hi
[02:38] <michaelc> hello
[02:39] <michaelc> when i try turn my mic up it wont go up can someone help
[02:39] <cheetahw26> I will have to repair just to boot back into windows... but if I knew how Wubi wanted the grub or what went wrong, maybe I could boot into the install i actually wanted
[02:39] <sebsebseb> s0u1t: thanks,   but now the phone person seems to have disappeard on us
[02:39] <s0u1t> cheetahw26: I think wubi is capable of making the grub install read and load linux from ntfs partition already on the drive
[02:39] <Schmitty> is there a process history i can use in terminal? for instance. If i wanted to know where pid 2865 orginated from 10 minutes ago can I do that?
[02:39] <sebsebseb> cheetahw26: normalley I woudn't recommend  Wubi,  but it seems you  may have a reason for it
[02:39] <s0u1t> sebsebseb: I think he said he was going to go try using his phone with windows as the webcam
[02:39] <cheetahw26> s0u1t: I am aware that it is supposed to :)    but when attempting to do so, I got an error, and don't know what the proper configuration should be
[02:40] <biggy> any one know how to unlock sony phone
[02:40] <s0u1t> interesting
[02:40] <De-Mentor> cheetahw26, your cd dosent work at all?
[02:40] <cheetahw26> sebsebseb: I completely agrea, not really a big fan.. makes me feel like a cross dresser :)
[02:40] <s0u1t> cheetahw26: do you have an unusual partition table perhaps? multiple drives or something?
[02:40] <cheetahw26> it does work, but it crashes after a few minutes or so... and is very sporadic
[02:41] <De-Mentor> cheetahw26, because im almost sure there is a boot cd that allows you to boot from usb even thought your laptop dosent support it
[02:41] <kylemerchant> Enter text here...I need help
[02:41] <sebsebseb> !helpme |  kylemerchant
[02:41] <cheetahw26> don't know how you would define unusual... 2 NTFS partitions and one hopefully soon to be ext3 with a swap at the end
[02:41] <sub[t]rnl> cd
[02:41] <De-Mentor> cheetahw26, I used it once i just dont remember whats the name of it
[02:41] <mdg> kylemerchant: what are you trying to do?
[02:41] <cheetahw26> but to install using Wubi, I formatted the ext3 & swap to NTFS and installed to that with Wubi
[02:41] <sebsebseb> kylemerchant: that factoid  is a  bit nasty in a way,  this one is more nice though
[02:41] <kylemerchant> hello
[02:41] <kylemerchant> yes
[02:41] <sebsebseb> !ask |  kylemerchant
[02:41] <Stronze> mdg - okay i got acoread installed and now have that option when i load the pdf.now im working on getting to play
[02:42] <s0u1t> well my first guess would be that is the problem because I woudl guess that grub is looking for a default windows installation
[02:42] <cheetahw26> I wish there was I way I could boot from the cdrom partially and then install the rest over ftp
[02:42] <mdg> Stronze: I'm just now installing
[02:42] <syntax> is it good to use the proprieatry drivers ati/amd compared to the ones thats on the ati.com site?
[02:42] <Mark09> was interested if anyone installs cpanel in ubuntu? the google hits I got were from 2006.
[02:42] <kylemerchant> I can't find my mail on my mail, when itt says mail is there
[02:43] <kylemerchant> did you get it
[02:43] <Stronze> mdg - interesting
[02:43] <kylemerchant> ok
[02:43] <sebsebseb> kylemerchant: yeah, but not my area
[02:43] <Stronze> mdg - when i try read out loud.the program freezes
[02:43] <s0u1t> cheetaw26: do you know how to verify that grub is looking at the right partition for your windows install that you installed wubi to?
[02:44] <mdg> Stronze: how are you starting it reading?
[02:44] <De-Mentor> cheetahw26, are you there?
[02:45] <cheetahw26> yeah sorry..
[02:45] <cheetahw26> haven't looked at grub yet will do now
[02:45] <Phrea> hello
[02:46] <IdleOne> cheetahw26: ubuntu has a mini iso that installs the base and gets the rest from the net.
[02:47] <mdg> Stronze: the menu characters turned chinese or something on me LOL
[02:47] <mdg> Stronze: got it
[02:47] <mdg> Stronze: not a nice voice though
[02:48] <Stronze> mdg - i tried highlight then selct view>read out load then click highlighted section froze
[02:48] <Stronze> mdg - just clicked view>read out loud  froze
[02:49] <mdg> Stronze: I didn
[02:49] <mdg> Stronze: I didn't highlight - just picked read page and read to end of document
[02:49] <Stronze> mdg - how did you download it?
[02:50] <Stronze> mdg - i used http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-763211.html
[02:50] <mdg> Stronze: I went to the download page for Adobe Acrobat reader -linux and choose the .deb file and it installed
[02:50] <mdg> Stronze: I see options under Edit menu for picking another voice - gotta check that out!
[02:51] <ran231> I am trying to setup a wpa_supplicant.conf for my university's 802.1x PEAP Network. Will someone please look at the one that I have generated and verify whether it will work? In addition, I don't have any idea how to convert a ,crt certificate to a ,pem certificate. I read the wpa_supplicant.conf can only use .pems. Is that correct?
[02:51] <Dwade09> if anyone in here is running ubuntu on a macbook and it is fully functioning just like if you ran mac, can you please give me a pm.
[02:51] <mdg> Stronze: didn
[02:52] <mdg> Stronze: did change it :/
[02:52] <IdleOne> Dwade09: ask your question in here and benefit from every ones  help
[02:52] <Sirmimer> Hello, i need help installing a windows program useing wine
[02:52] <Stronze> mdg - where in download page?
[02:52] <IdleOne> Sirmimer: wine filename.exe
[02:52] <g8tor> hello all
[02:53] <Dwade09> IdleOne,  i need someone who is running on a macbook, and want to know if everything will work just like it does with the main macbook os x
[02:53] <mdg> Stronze: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
[02:53] <mdg> Stronze: I chose linux x86 .deb
[02:53] <ran231> a
[02:53] <mdg> Stronze: and let the application g-deblet install it
[02:53] <Dwade09> example all the keyboard keys, and their Fn functions as well, and also the, mouse with two finger taps for right click.
[02:53] <IdleOne> Dwade09: best way to find out is download the live cd and test. mileage varies from machine to machine
[02:54] <IdleOne> !pm | Sirmimer
[02:54] <g8tor> I have a ubuntu box @ work that I use for backups and such. I would like to have it send mail from cron jobs but we use exchange.Anyone know how I can get my ubuntu (postfix mta) box to send mail through our exchange server?
[02:54] <Stronze> im pretty sure my laptop is 32 bit
[02:54] <Sirmimer> Oh sorry IldeOne
[02:54] <Sirmimer> Should i ask here, or your busy?
[02:54] <Stronze> mdg - not 100% sure tho
[02:55] <IdleOne> Sirmimer: ask here if I don't know the answer someone else might help
[02:55] <DWonderly> !ask | Sirmimer
[02:55] <Dwade09> IdleOne,  dont want to do that as i do not have a way to back up al my data, if something goes wrong.
[02:55] <IdleOne> Sirmimer: to install wine type in terminal sudo apt-get install wine
[02:55] <cheetahw26> IdleOne: where is that mini install that gets the rest from the net ??
[02:55] <mdg> Stronze: x86 is 32 bit
[02:55] <Sirmimer> I have wine, i installed it from synaptic
[02:55] <netdur1> hi guys, I got a joke... how does ubuntu fix bugs? it makes them rot and die
[02:56] <IdleOne> Dwade09: the live cd runs all in ram it wont install until you tell it to
[02:56] <Stronze> mdg - learn somethin new everyday
[02:56] <IdleOne> Sirmimer: ok now in terminal go to cd Desktop ( if that is where you saved the .exe file ) and type wine filename.exe ( change filename for the actual name )
[02:56] <netdur1> not funny
[02:57] <Sirmimer> I wantet to know how to install Ventrilo on my pc. It's not for linux yet so i have to use wine. I downloaded the install file from their website: "Windows i386 - 32bit - Win2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008m"
[02:57] <Dwade09> IdleOne,  that is why i asked , if everything works like it should, and running the live cd does not tell me if all will work once installed, as i ran live cd before and everything worked like a charm, then when it came to install i had to get drivers for Everything, but in live cd i didnt.
[02:57] <wANd_> Hey all is there a good commandline bittorent client?  I just bought a VPS but it doesnt have the juice to run X
[02:57] <IdleOne> !ot > netdur1
[02:57] <dividebyzer0> well I got cinelerra installed, but it keeps crashing so bleh
[02:57] <Sirmimer> its on my desktop yea, how do i go to cd desktop in the terminal; what do i type?
[02:57] <Flannel> wANd_: The default one will work just fine, the command to launch the one for multiple torrents is btlaunchmanycurses, bt[tab][tab] will get you a list
[02:58] <dividebyzer0> I think I'll just set up a dual boot with XP
[02:58] <IdleOne> Dwade09: I see what your saying.
[02:58] <wANd_> i will look,tahsnk
[02:58] <wANd_> thanks
[02:58] <Flannel> wANd_: You give it a directory as a parameter, and it'll download any torrents you throw in there (and rescan every few minutes)
[02:58] <netdur1> IdleOne: yeah! minutes ago I got email from launchpad saying that nobody cares about bugs I have opened therefore they will close it... like that?
[02:58] <IdleOne> Sirmimer: cd Desktop
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> wANd_:  theres several others . with differnt featutres also
[02:58] <netdur1> that happened to almost every bug I have reported
[02:58] <Stronze> mdg - lmao!! i using the other guide i downloaded the older version of adobe.correcting that mistake
[02:58] <Luig1> IS there a good graphical app for messing with iptables? (i.e. opening a port, for e.g. BitTorrent?)
[02:58] <IdleOne> netdur1: I highly doubt that. #ubuntu-offtopics is a good place to go troll
[02:58] <Stronze> mdg - Error: Breaks exisiting package 'acroread' conflict: adobereader-enu ( )
[02:59] <Flannel> !iptables | Luig1
[02:59] <netdur1> IdleOne: then let me get you url
[02:59] <Stronze> mdg - gonna remove adobe and reinstall
[02:59] <carrie_555> My ubuntu 9.04 has been "freezing!!!" lately, and the unique solution is the reset button. Does any log file exist, that might report the cause of these crashes?
[02:59] <Sirmimer> IdleOne, okay done. Now i type "sudo wine filename.exe" (ofc i change filename to the right one)
[02:59] <Dwade09> Sirmimer,  here is a post on vent and ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=41737
[02:59] <Flannel> netdur1: This channel is for support only, please take non-support to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[02:59] <IdleOne> Sirmimer: wine filename.exe
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Sirmimer:  you rarely need to use sudo with wine...
[02:59] <netdur1> IdleOne: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/291836
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Sirmimer:  and doing so may make things less reliable.
[02:59] <Luig1> Thanks, Flannel
[02:59] <Sirmimer> Okay
[03:00] <mdg> Stronze: I need to figure out how to add female voices - the male voices are too harsh
[03:00] <netdur1> Flannel: my laptop fails to reboot, every time... this is a tech problem
[03:00] <Stronze> mdg - your jsut a sexist admit it :D
[03:00] <Dwade09> IdleOne,  glad you understand instead of trying to say im wrong jeje,
[03:00] <mdg> Stronze: LOL
[03:00] <Sirmimer> Okay i got it installed - thanks. Now how do i open it?
[03:01] <Flannel> netdur1: If you'd like support with that problem, feel free to ask a question about it.  But this channel is not an appropriate place to discuss your bug reports
[03:01] <wANd_> Flannel: I don't have that app and i cant find it in apt-cache search
[03:01] <IdleOne> Dwade09: it has happened to me also but usually the live cd is a good test. mac has it's issues not sure if there is a #ubuntu-ppc
[03:01] <wANd_> Dr_Willis: oh?  any suggestions? :)
[03:01] <IdleOne> netdur1: don't see where they said they don't care
[03:01] <mdg> Stronze: actually, I just find the male voices hard to understand - too robotic sounding
[03:01] <Dwade09> IdleOne,  there is but not very many in it jeje.
[03:01] <netdur1> Flannel: I have asked here and was told to report a bug!!!
[03:01] <Flannel> wANd_: It's installed by default in Ubuntu, your VPS must have customized it. The package is bittornado
[03:02] <dividebyzer0> ugh, i dont want to go back to windows... *cries*
[03:02] <IdleOne> Dwade09: well you got to be patient :)
[03:02] <Sirmimer> IdleOne: I got the program installed, how do i open it now?
[03:02] <Dwade09> IdleOne,  i will take this to the local community college and see what the smart guys there have to say as i have to go there tomorrow anyways.
[03:02] <netdur1> IdleOne: that was their "don't care" in _nice way_
[03:02] <Flannel> netdur1: That makes sense.  You should if it's a bug.  But this channel isn't for bug discussions, we have other channels for that.  We can help you work around the bug if possible (although that might be best done in the bug report itself), but this channel is not for discussing your bug
[03:03] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: I searched for what you are having trouble with, but, apparently, I cannot find it. Could you explain to me why you feel you might have to go to back to Failzors (Windows), I might be able to help
[03:03] <MikeC> Anyone know why Xchat locks up when trying to list channels?  I'd take the question to the right channel but...
[03:03] <Dwade09> netdur1,  no, that was not my nice way of saying dont care, u just joined the room, not many in there, but do not mean i wont hit the room up.
[03:03] <Stronze> mdg - interesting.i redownloaded adobe reader 9 and read out load is still crashing it.i only get for options is activate read out load
[03:03] <MikeC> Something related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat-gnome/+bug/276229
[03:04] <IdleOne> Sirmimer: it should be listed in your Applications menu under wine
[03:04] <nocturna> Can ayone help me with a problem? I have grub2 installed (using latest ubuntu alpha), and the menu entries are in the config..but I can't choose them at bootup. It automatically boots into ubuntu and I cannot choose any other OS. Anyone know how I can show the menu options?
[03:04] <dividebyzer0> xps9000: I need to do some video editing and nothing seems to work right on ubuntu
[03:04] <mdg> Stronze: how much ram you have?
[03:04] <xps9000> MikeC: No, but, have you tried. Apt-get remove xchat? and reinstalled?
[03:04] <Sirmimer> IldeOne: It's not :S
[03:04] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: Video card make/model?
[03:04] <Stronze> mdg - 2 gigs
[03:04] <Flannel> netdur1: What that's saying is you need to confirm its still a bug, and provide them with the stuff they need (the various log files)
[03:04] <MikeC> xps9000: First time using it, but I can try
[03:04] <rww> MikeC: Try "/msg alis help" for info on Freenode's channel listing bot, which might work better. If you're using xchat-gnome, try xchat. And the xchat (not xchat-gnome) channel is #xchat ;)
[03:04] <mdg> Stronze: oh - that should be plenty
[03:05] <Sirmimer> IldeOne: I do see it in my wine folder. But its not under App --> Wine

[03:05] <IdleOne> Sirmimer: #winehq I don't use wine so I am not certain
[03:05] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: What exact problem are you having? By the way, xorg.conf is not hard to edit, if that's where your issue lies.
[03:06] <Dwade09> IdleOne,  i do thank you for your help and will put it to use, and do somemore looking into this tomorrow.
[03:06] <xps9000> problems*
[03:06] <mdg> Stronze: maybe its the size of the PFD
[03:06] <dividebyzer0> Im trying to use cinelerra and when I add my files, it crashes
[03:06] <Sirmimer> IldeOne: Thanks, i did figure out how to open it, but i have to go into the folder and stuff. So i'll ask how to get it up under apps.
[03:06] <IdleOne> Dwade09: no problem and I hope it works well for you
[03:06] <dividebyzer0> just completely closes out
[03:06] <Stronze> mdg - yeah it was.i figured it out
[03:06] <Stronze> mdg - oh god you was right
[03:06] <Stronze> mdg - that is annoying
[03:06] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: Descriptions please
[03:07] <Stronze> mdg - how you fix that?!
[03:07] <Dwade09> IdleOne,  i will let you know, when i do find a good guide, and install it.
[03:07] <mdg> Stronze: good question....
[03:07] <xps9000> cinelerra . One moment.
[03:07] <dividebyzer0> xps9000: thats pretty much it.. I add my mp4 and maybe an mp3 and it will crash
[03:07] <mdg> Stronze: how many "chapters" are there?
[03:07] <dividebyzer0> xps9000: cinelerra is a video editing software for linux
[03:08] <xps9000> I am not familiar with cinelerra, just give me a second so I can point you in the right direction, Dividebyzer0
[03:08] <mdg> Stronze: espeak -v en+f2 "Hello there my friend." - what do you think?
[03:08] <Stronze> mdg - you know that 1100 page healthcare bill everyone is freaking out about? thats what im using the ereader for

[03:09] <default> nick acsi
[03:09] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: What program did you use on windows to do your video editing?
[03:09] <dividebyzer0> sony vegas and camtasia studio 6
[03:09] <xps9000> Do you still have copies of this software?
[03:10] <dividebyzer0> yes, I bought them.
[03:10] <Stronze> mdg - cuz i want to know whats in it
[03:10] <Stronze> mdg - if you let someone else do your thinking then your screwed
[03:10] <asci> does brother provider open source linux drivers for all their new printers like hp does?
[03:10] <mdg> Stronze: I thought maybe you were a doctor or something
[03:10] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: Ok, I'm trying to give you some options, so, bare with me.
[03:10] <mdg> Stronze: I agree - we should know more, but thats another channel
[03:11] <Manifest> I have a WiFi HP printer. How can I print wireless to it from Ubuntu?
[03:11] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: I've never worked with this software, so, I'm doing alittle research to figure out if this is a known bug.
[03:11] <mdg> Stronze:  espeak -v en+f2 "Hello there my friend." what do you think of that voice?
[03:11] <Stronze> mdg - im just wanting to listen to it and see what the hell everyone is so mad about it or so for it
[03:11] <wANd_> darn, Bittorent wont work, it says unknown URL type UDP

[03:12] <LinuxGold> in repo
[03:12] <Stronze> mdg - goes to fast
[03:12] <mdg> Stronze: really?
[03:12] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: Have you considered using wine? And installing your video apps on it? (Winters API on linux)

[03:13] <mdg> Flannel: you know anything about espeak?
[03:13] <dividebyzer0> xps9000 yes, and it didnt work that great, I tried with virtualbox too and the video lagged really bad
[03:13] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: Also, I need to know... Does Cine crash? Or does it lock up?
[03:14] <dividebyzer0> xps9000: it just exits. completely closes out
[03:14] <Stronze> mdg - adobe uses espeak drivers
[03:15] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: How long have you been running Ubuntu? Have you installed the restricted drivers the Ubuntu recommends?
[03:15] <mdg> Flannel: do you have a link to convert PDF to text?
[03:15] <dividebyzer0> xps9000: probably a couple weeks now, Ive installed everything that it has asked, and the correct one for my video card

[03:18] <Sentinel> Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew how to send pulseaudio to shoutcast.  Nothing I could find online works.
[03:18] <lordnikon> nom, regular wifi
[03:18] <xps9000> dividebyzer0: When you installed the software, did you see any errors? Did you install it via terminal or via the manager?
[03:18] <chuy_max> Kapace, well, there's one called video, and one called videodev, I expected to see vesa or nv or nvidia
[03:19] <lordnikon> but the card does not show up under the device manager

[03:19] <Sentinel> Formode: I was hoping to get all sound...

[03:21] <bob12345> need help with firefox plugins
[03:21] <ctmjr> chuy_max: your looking for what graphics driver X is using?
[03:21] <MicronXD> Flannel: neh... the liveCD and the install both don't work, but the knoppix liveCD works fine. anyway to figure out what settings knoppix is using?

[03:22] <LinuxGold> winblowz
[03:22] <nomasteryoda> lordnikon, because the card is a broadcom chip ... do an "lspci |grep bcm" in the terminal to see what you have
[03:22] <chuy_max> ctmjr, (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vesa_drv.so
[03:23] <chuy_max> ugh, so I guess it is using vesa

[03:52] <avantix> its killing my machine
[03:52] <jikuty> this isn't an ubuntu-specific question, but is there a way to get gnome-do to add certain arguments when launching? for example, when i launch Chrome from gnome-do, i want it to launch like "chrome --enable-plugins" instead of just "chrome"

[03:55] <docX> hey!

[03:55] <sub[t]rnl> avantix: so DRI was disabled intentionally. :/
[03:56] <jikuty> veinor: hm, even after putting the right arguments in the menu shortcut, and re-starting gnome-do, it still seems to just launch "chrome"

[04:14] <kattman> Tanners: it will create a swap for you
[04:14] <TannerS> kattman but for the swap were is the space its using comeing from?
[04:15] <jjchmh> yah but when i put the cd in nothing happens i cant do anything
[04:16] <kattman> Tanners: ubuntu will create it in free space as needed
[04:16] <Ten-Eight> jjcham: is your machine set to boot up on the cd?
[04:16] <webbb> can i use the kde panel in gnome
[04:17] <TannerS> kattman thats my problme, what if it thinks my windows partition, and thinks its free space then some whow messes it up or erases it
[04:17] <Ten-Eight> jjchmh: is your machine set to boot up on the cd?
[04:17] <kattman> tannerS did you resize windows partition?
[04:18] <TannerS> no
[04:18] <jjchmh> i only have ubuntu i do not have the cd to boot up ubuntu
[04:18] <ramsey1> i need help finding my MBR
[04:18] <Ten-Eight> you need to boot up on your windows cd...then you can install from there.
[04:18] <jjchmh> its my main os but i have to go back to school and i cant have ubuntu anymore
[04:18] <jjchmh> i did.. nothing happens
[04:18] <tonyyarusso> "can't"?
[04:19] <kattman> tannerS resize windows partition to givr room for ubuntu
[04:19] <tuntun> the only resolution option is 800*600.  Why cant I get 1280*1024?
[04:20] <TannerS> kattman i am going to do that so that free space is going to be free for both swap and ext3 or?
[04:20] <tuntun> Why cant I get 1280*1024?
[04:21] <Ten-Eight> jjchmh: so you booted up on the Win CD and you can't install it?
[04:21] <kattman> tannerS yes, ubuntu will mak the swap partition
[04:21] <TannerS> kkkk ty
[04:21] <LordBrain> Hey...
[04:21] <qousay> hello
[04:22] <LordBrain> I am trying to connect to a wireless network, and i keep seeing talk about a icon for network manager but i dont see one.
[04:22] <plaoak> re program it
[04:22] <tuntun> Why cant I get 1280*1024?
[04:22] <tsai1> Anybody have the Cowon S9?
[04:22] <Ten-Eight> jjchmh: if you boot up on the winders cd, you should be able to install from there. it's been so long since I've done it...but it should just start up the install routine.
[04:23] <tuntun> Why is Ubuntu limited to 800*600?
[04:23] <LordBrain> I don't have a Network Manager icon in my system notification area
[04:23] <m0r0n> llua: Have you got Compiz to work with the cube?
[04:23] <Ben64> tuntun: ubuntu isn't limited to 800x600
[04:23] <m0r0n> tuntun: It's not, something is wrong, what's your video card?
[04:24] <Ben64> tuntun: what happens if you try to run "glxgears"
[04:24] <dthacker> tuntun: at least you're not stuck at 640x480 like my machine
 yes
[04:24] <tuntun> I have an nvidia. my screen is 1280*1024
[04:24] <Ben64> !details
 you must enable desktop cube and rotate cube

[04:26] <SuperMiguel> tuntun, video drivers :)
[04:26] <Ben64> tuntun: answer our questions or we can't help you
[04:26] <dthacker> I'm running 9.04 with proprietary Nvidia drivers and an NEC MultiSync 95.   The Nvidia configure utility will not change to a higher resolution.
[04:26] <m0r0n> llua: It's not working
[04:27] <Ben64> dthacker: what happens if you run "glxgears"?
 do you have 4 workstations?
[04:27] <Ingsoc> Please Help: I tried installing wicd on my netbook today and now after removing it nm-applet is gone. how do I fix this?
[04:27] <tuntun> Ben64: "glxgears" shows whirling gears/
[04:27] <dthacker> Ben: I get a lovely picture of spinning gears at a very low resolution
[04:28] <jacoblyles> I have no kernels left on my boot menu, after removing old ones with synaptic. How can I fix this? Right now I can only boot into Windows XP

 do you have 4 workstations"desktops"?
[04:28] <Ben64> tuntun, dthacker: try using "nvidia-settings" to set display resolution
[04:29] <tuntun> the driver is the open one
[04:29] <m0r0n> llua: I can't get it to work, any ideas?
[04:29] <LordBrain> ifconfig says i have a wlan0, nm-tool reports that the network is there but state is disconnected
 do you have 4 workstations"desktops"?
[04:29] <dthacker> Ben64: Clicking on Screen 0  Resolution is set to Auto.  No other choices are available on the resolution dropdown
[04:29] <m0r0n> llua: Do I disable Desktop Wall?
[04:30] <llua> yes
[04:30] <m0r0n> llua: Ok I've done that also... hmm
[04:30] <Ben64> dthacker: go to "X Server Display Configuration" in nvidia-settings
[04:30] <tuntun> llua, two workspaces
[04:30] <Ben64> dthacker: then try "detect displays"
[04:30] <dthacker> Ben64: I'm there.
[04:30] <llua> you need 4 workspaces for it to ake a cube
[04:30] <llua> you need 4 workspaces for it to make* a cube
[04:31] <ritztech_> whats a good prog comparable to like FL studio (music editing)
[04:31] <m0r0n> llua: How do I do that?
[04:31] <jacoblyles> does anyone know how to boot into Ubuntu if I've accidentally removed all the kernels from my syste?
[04:31] <jacoblyles> m
[04:31] <jacoblyles> ?
[04:31] <Ben64> dthacker: the problem is *probably* that the system doesn't know what resolution your monitor can use
[04:31] <mgmuscari> hello room
[04:31] <ramsey1> i lost my damn mbr
[04:31] <dthacker> Ben64: screen jumps around a bit, but nothing changes.
[04:31] <evon> is it possible to create a live windows usb using linux? i tried using unetbootin but it did not work out too well
[04:31] <llua> right clikc of the two workspaces and right click
[04:31] <Ben64> jacoblyles: get a new kernel...
[04:31] <ramsey1> and i can't figure out which hd has my mbr on it
[04:31] <Ben64> dthacker: no new options for res?
[04:31] <ramsey1> somebody plz help me
[04:31] <coz_> guys is there a terminal command to delete recent document in gnome?
[04:32] <dthacker> Ben64: Auto, 640x480, 320x240
[04:32] <m0r0n> llua: I have four now, still not working
[04:32] <Ben64> dthacker: what's listed in the "Model:" section
[04:32] <mgmuscari> has anybody else had Shiretoko freeze on them when trying to print with shared printers from another system set up in jaunty?
[04:32] <canthus13> ramsey1: Here's a page that may help you:  http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/
 hmm not sure, desktop cube and rotaton cube is checked?
[04:32] <ramsey1> thx
[04:32] <canthus13> ramsey1: I'm assuming that you are working from a LiveCD right now?
[04:33] <jikuty> veinor: i ended up solving that gnome-do problem by doing a "locate google-chrome.desktop" and changing the Exec command in all of them to read "google-chrome --enable-plugins". after restarting gnome-do it worked perfectly
[04:33] <veinor> ah, good to know
[04:33] <ramsey1> the problem is i have 3 HDD and i duno which has the actual install on
[04:33] <dthacker> Ben64: Model CRT-0 (CRT-0 on GPU-0)
[04:33] <canthus13> ramsey1: gparted will help you figure that out.
[04:33] <ramsey1> i know that the MBR and the install are on 2 separate HDD
[04:33] <ramsey1> but i can't figure which lol
[04:33] <mgmuscari> scratch that - has anyone else had setting up shared printers cause ALL printing to be borked?
[04:33] <Ben64> dthacker: what monitor do you actually have?

[04:34] <FloodBot2> luftwaffle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:34] <canthus13> ramsey1: But mostly it's just gonna take a bit of detective work. I've got a machine like that.  4 drives, 11 partitions. :P
[04:34] <ramsey1> lol
[04:34] <ramsey1> i feel like such a fool
[04:34] <Ben64> luftwaffle: dude stop freaking spamming
[04:34] <dthacker> Ben64: NEC MultiSync 95,  It's a CRT, not an LCD
[04:34] <ramsey1> where do i start looking?
[04:34] <ramsey1> and how do i know what hd0 and hd1 really are?
[04:34] <belcher> CRT, how wild. Old school
[04:34] <luftwaffle> gotta make mah money im done now sry for the trouble
[04:34] <ramsey1> is there a command that tells me?
[04:35] <canthus13> ramsey1: Well, if you're booted from a liveCD, fire up gparted and look at the partitions.  It'll tell you the type.
[04:35] <newser> hello, how can I install a network printer in ubuntu using a router? I have the ethernet cable connected to the router
[04:35] <dthacker> belcher: it was free! :p
[04:35] <ramsey1> i'm on my laptop
[04:35] <ramsey1> but yes
[04:35] <ramsey1> the machine is on a live cd now
[04:35] <belcher> dthacker, even better
[04:35] <newser> I just need to configure the printer in ubuntu as a network printer, but I do not know how to do it
[04:35] <mgmuscari> newser:
[04:35] <canthus13> ramsey1: gparted (partition editor in system > Administration) will allow you to see what type each partition is.
[04:35] <mgmuscari> newser: i've just set up my printer on my desktop as a shared printer
[04:36] <ramsey1> ok i have gparted open
[04:36] <Ben64> dthacker: do you know how to get to a command line if the GUI never starts on ubuntu?
[04:36] <dthacker> Ben64: I
[04:36] <mgmuscari> newser: when i try to do anything with my printer from my laptop, whatever program i'm using freezes...
[04:36] <Ben64> O_o
[04:36] <canthus13> ramsey1: You can view each drive with the dropdown on the upper right.
[04:36] <ramsey1> in gparted it has them labeled as sdb1
[04:36] <dthacker> Ben64: I can ssh over from the machine I'm running xchat on.
[04:36] <sp__> Ben64, start in single-user mode
[04:36] <ramsey1> but i thought grub likes hd0 format
[04:36] <ramsey1> i'm confused
[04:37] <canthus13> ramsey1: Grub does.
[04:37] <sp__> ramsey1, they use different ways to address the drives
[04:37] <ramsey1> and it does have the "boot" flag
[04:37] <ramsey1> here is the problem
[04:37] <canthus13> ramsey1: So am I. :)  I hate dealing with grub.
[04:37] <homovitruvius> anybody has configured amanda on Ubuntu?
[04:37] <ramsey1> i have it pinned down to two of the drives, so i threw the third one out
[04:37] <canthus13> ramsey1: Since you have two machines, you might consider the supergrub CD.
[04:37] <newser> mgmuscari, :S
[04:37] <Ben64> dthacker: what resolution would you like to use?
[04:37] <ramsey1> Drive X: has the install on it
[04:37] <ramsey1> but Drive Y: appears to have the boot loader
[04:37] <ramsey1> when i boot without drive X, it shows the boot options, then dies when i select one
[04:38] <dthacker> Ben64: I'd settle for 1024x768
[04:38] <ramsey1> if i boot without drive Y:, it doesn't show any boot options
[04:38] <ramsey1> make sense?
[04:38] <ramsey1> i need to get the boot loader on the same drive (X) so i can remove the other two
[04:38] <ramsey1> thats where i'm stuck
[04:38] <Ben64> dthacker: ok, you will have to edit your xorg.conf, i highly suggest you make a backup before this
[04:38] <mralexandro> anyone who wants to tutor me/walktrough on how to prepare usb device for ubuntu remix?
[04:38] <mgmuscari> newser: i'm thinking about trying it with ipp
[04:39] <homovitruvius> bema
[04:39] <sp__> ramsey1, drive device numbers change when you add/remove drives
[04:39] <ramsey1> ok
[04:39] <canthus13> ramsey1: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ < Bootable grub repair CD.
[04:39] <ramsey1> that could be the problem?
[04:39] <newser> mgmuscari, do you know how can it be done?
[04:39] <sp__> perhaps use uuid?
[04:39] <dthacker> Ben64: ok I've made a copy of xorg.conf
[04:39] <mgmuscari> newser: i'm googling to figure it out now... i'll let you know if i find anything useful. what's your desktop running?
[04:39] <canthus13> ramsey1: I haven't had to use it in a long time, but I keep an updated copy on hand.
[04:39] <ramsey1> sholdn't i be able to add and remove drives as desired without it affecting my booint?
[04:39] <belcher> I accidentally fell in love with my laptop :(
[04:39] <sp__> use uuidgen and paste that number into grub... it identifies the drive
[04:40] <sp__> with an unique ID
[04:40] <newser> mgmuscari, what do you mean with running?
[04:40] <khacker> i found a strange file.. uhh can some one help me figure out what it is?
[04:40] <mgmuscari> newser: operating system, sorry
[04:40] <userone> In synaptic package manager I noticed there is ffmpeg (supported by canonical) and gstreamer-ffmpeg (not supported). I am using Totem player, so which package should I install?
[04:40] <ramsey1> is there a way to identify what hd0 and hd1 currently are on my system?
[04:40] <ramsey1> any command?
[04:41] <newser> mgmuscari, Ubuntu
[04:41] <dthacker> khacker: pastebin it
[04:41] <newser> mgmuscari, the latest stable version
[04:41] <sp__> ramsey1, cat /boot/grub/devicemap
[04:41] <mgmuscari> well, if you want to try out using shared printers, open system->admin->printing
[04:41] <khacker> do what now?
[04:41] <sp__> ramsey1, /boot/grub/device.map
[04:41] <Ben64> dthacker: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260145/
[04:41] <mgmuscari> then server->settings
[04:41] <Ben64> dthacker: keep the "identifier" line the same as whatever is in your xorg.conf currently
[04:42] <mgmuscari> check the "Publush shared printers connected to this system"
[04:42] <Ben64> dthacker: but replace the entire monitor section besides that
[04:42] <hardly> any way to keep from having the words "read only filesystem" from appearing in my terminal on 64bit Jaunty? I think I'm using ext4, but it says ext3 in /etc/fstab
[04:43] <Ben64> hardly: you might want to update fstab to say ext4
[04:43] <mgmuscari> newser: then right click on your printer and check "Shared"
[04:43] <Ben64> hardly: and give your drive a good fsck before you get back into using it
[04:43] <mgmuscari> on the client computer, open the print settings and check off "Show printers shared by other systems"
[04:44] <hardly> Ben64: I haven't edited it after the install. Wy aould it say that?
[04:44] <mgmuscari> then just wait a few minutes and your printer should show up...
[04:44] <Ben64> hardly: it's always been ext4?
[04:44] <hardly> yeah. I'm very familiar with fsck Ben64.
[04:44] <hardly> Ben64: unless I'm incorrect about the install options I chose.
[04:44] <dthacker> Ben64: editing now.......
[04:45] <hardly> Ben64: any way to check who is correct, me or fstab?
[04:45] <belcher> hardly, fsck doesn't like ppl to get too familiar with it. Take it slow. fsck will come around
[04:45] <Ben64> hardly: well anyway, check the partition then, if you didn't upgrade it to ext4, then it should be fine mounting as ext3
[04:46] <Ben64> hardly: it'd be kind of tricky, don't know of a way.
[04:46] <hardly> lol. so the mount options are basically what decides ext3 or 4... it seems.
[04:46] <dthacker> Ben64: I heard the monitor click on restart.  promising......
[04:47] <irb111> hi guys
[04:47] <irb111> i could use some help
[04:47] <Ben64> hardly: well ext4 does support "extents" if i remember correctly, and if they are enabled, you can't mount as ext3 anymore
[04:47] <mgmuscari> dthacker: what did you say that is? an accusync?
[04:47] <irb111> i used "smart" this afternoon to upgrade my java version from 1.4 to 1.6 and about halfway through it i got a segmentation fault error
[04:47] <Ben64> mgmuscari: nec multisync 95
[04:47] <sp__> irb !details
[04:47] <mgmuscari> lol
[04:47] <irb111> and now i can not reboot and log into my machine
[04:48] <dthacker> Ben64: excellent.  X restarted in 1024x768
[04:48] <mgmuscari> i had one of those
[04:48] <mgmuscari> it died
[04:48] <mgmuscari> a few months ago
[04:48] <mgmuscari> after 10 years of faithful service
[04:48] <dthacker> mgmuscari: NEC MultiSync 95
[04:48] <Ben64> dthacker: hehe, chalk up another win for hacks
[04:48] <sp__> irb111: can you log into single-user mode?
[04:48] <hardly> thanks Ben64
[04:48] <mgmuscari> one day i went to turn it on and was greeted with that wonderful burning electronics smell
[04:48] <irb111> sp: yes, i can
[04:48] <sp__> irb111: sudo apt-get purge xxx ?
[04:48] <Ben64> dthacker: i just modified the xorg.conf i had, horiz sync's dont vary too much :3
[04:49] <sp__> xxx being the program that broke?
[04:49] <mgmuscari> i don't tinker inside high-voltage devices, so i trashed it
[04:49] <irb111> sp: that's the problem, I don't know which program broke my system
[04:49] <Ben64> mgmuscari: smart idea
[04:49] <userone> is ffmpeg a separate player or a set of plugins for totem, or should i install gstreamer-ffmpeg for totem?
[04:49] <Ben64> theres one little wire on a crt that will **** you the **** up
[04:49] <irb111> sp: is there any way to get a list of what i installed today?
[04:49] <dthacker> Ben64: I don't think Nvidia was able to probe this monitor for some reason.
[04:49] <mgmuscari> the coils in those things can hold energy for a long time
[04:49] <mralexandro> do i have usb-imagewriter in ubuntu jaunty 9.04? :)
[04:49] <rww> userone: you want gstreamer-ffmpeg
[04:49] <irb111> sp: i was thinking > ls -lt /usr/local to start with
[04:50] <rww> userone: if you try to play something that needs it, you should get prompted to install it
[04:50] <ufer> hi
[04:50] <C-S-B> mralexandro: you have dd
[04:50] <Ben64> dthacker: it might have been before they had probe-able info
[04:50] <dthacker> Ben64: that's scary old......   Thank You for your help!
[04:51] <khacker> i found a file in mu comp with a bunch of crazy algorithms.. can someone help?
[04:51] <mralexandro> C-S-B, well i cant find it have to use it to follow the jaunty guide to create netbook remix, anything i can type in terminal to start it?
[04:51] <belcher> khacker, yes
[04:51] <Ben64> dthacker: np, it *should* work up to 1600x1200 in theory.. but then everything would be tiny
[04:51] <jet_> i forget how to use banshee.... lol
[04:51] <jet_> can someone help me make a random playlist and put it to my mp3 player with banshee?
[04:51] <rww> mralexandro: the UNR guide on the wiki has a link to download it, doesn't it?
[04:51] <paissad-hp> do you have a trick of how to listen to some shoutcast stations directly from command line, without X running, meaning without songbird running for example
[04:51] <paissad-hp> http://www.shoutcast.com/most-popular-radio-stations
[04:51] <paissad-hp> thanks in advance
[04:52] <userone> rww: thanks. i try to like to stay with full opensource if i can. Just out of interest, why does canonical support ffmpeg, but not gstreamer-ffmpeg. what is the difference? is gstreamer a non-open source plugin?
[04:52] <dthacker> Ben64: yep this keeps me from having to scroll from side to side.  :)
[04:52] <mralexandro> rww, shows repos source too interpid, hardy heron and karmatic or something, but not jaunty
[04:52] <ufer> Who be talks on the Russian???
[04:52] <Ben64> paissad-hp: "mplayer http://98.124.140.137:8030" should work
[04:52] <mgmuscari> ugh does anyone experienced issues with print dialogs hanging on client computers when using shared printers?
[04:52] <belcher> khacker, uh, I don't generally accept unsolicited DCC sends
[04:52] <belcher> khacker, nice try though
[04:52] <rww> !ru | ufer
[04:52] <ufer> rww õàé :D
[04:53] <paissad-hp> Ben64, how did you find the ip adress ? how do you know the port ?
[04:53] <dthacker> !pastebin | khacker
[04:53] <Ben64> paissad-hp: thats just for my favorite shoutcast station
[04:53] <C-S-B> mralexandro: dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/device/node bs=1M
[04:53] <Ben64> paissad-hp: but you should be able to put any one in there
[04:53] <irb111> SP: i tried to purge cracklib and I am getting a segmentation fault
[04:53] <ufer> ololo
[04:53] <sp__> irb111: Check /var/log/dpkg.log
[04:53] <paissad-hp> Ben64, i guess, but if would like to listen to some other stations, how can i proceed (ip adress , port )
[04:54] <paissad-hp> ?
[04:54] <khacker> -oh ok
[04:54] <ufer> îëîëî
[04:54] <sp__> there you can see the names of the last installed packages, by date
[04:54] <ufer> ÷î÷î?
[04:54] <Ben64> paissad-hp: get it from the .pls file from wherever you want
[04:54] <paissad-hp> .pls file ?
[04:54] <rww> userone: They're both open source. Everything in universe is, and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is in there.
[04:54] <Ben64> how do you normally find shoutcast servers?
[04:54] <sp__> irb111: after that, sudo apt-get purge [package-name]
[04:55] <irb111> SP: ok, i tried to purge the most recent package and i keep getting segmenation fault
[04:55] <irb111> SP: is there a system log that i can to determine what is causing the segmentation fault?
[04:56] <userone> rww: yes, thanks. i just installed gstreamer-ffmpeg. i was just wondering why ffmeg had the nice ubuntu icon next to it, but gstreamer-ffmpeg didnt? anyway.....thanks for your help..job done!
[04:56] <khacker> http://paste.ubuntu.com/260148/plain/     i guess thats what i do?
[04:57] <mralexandro> C-S-B, rww i found it
[04:57] <belcher> khacker, uh, so what is your actual question?
[04:57] <zopiac> has the compiz settings manager changed recently?
[04:57] <C-S-B> mralexandro: good!
[04:58] <mralexandro> C-S-B, :)
[04:58] <khacker> what is it and why is it there?
[04:58] <jet_> can anyone help me with banshee i forget how to use an mp3 player with it
[04:58] <Schmitty> "mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy" give this error mount: mount point /media/floppy does not exist
[04:58] <Schmitty> why??????
[04:58] <Ben64> Schmitty: "sudo mkdir /media/floppy"
[04:59] <scriptwarlock> hello anybody knows about linkings in dh_make?
[04:59] <sp__> irb111: indeed, there is a system log
[04:59] <belcher> khacker, ah, an existential question
[04:59] <irb111> SP: i checked /var/log/messages but that had nothing in it
[04:59] <sp__> irb111: /var/log/syslog may have some info
[05:00] <sp__> but it may be hard to grep
[05:00] <scriptwarlock> or do we have a channel for packing deb?
[05:00] <khacker> belcher , does that mean u dont know..
[05:00] <Flannel> scriptwarlock: #ubuntu-motu is probably what you're looking for
[05:00] <irb111> SP: what should i look for in that file?
[05:01] <belcher> khacker, it means I don't know what your actual problem is
[05:01] <Schmitty> Ben64: thanks, i'm an idiot
[05:01] <khacker> ok well thanks ne way
[05:01] <scriptwarlock> thnx
[05:01] <g_> hi
[05:02] <sp__> irb111: use tail /var/log/syslog (or syslog.0)
[05:02] <g_> i have ubuntu set up how i want it, and now, how can i make a bootable copy of it onto a flash drive?
[05:02] <sp__> that way you'll get the last few lines
[05:02] <irb111> SP: ok, got those lines but nothing in there related to the segmentation fault
[05:02] <userone> rww: i just installed gstreamer-ffmpeg, but totem still does not play an avi video file. do i need to restart the computer or just close and restart totem movie player?
[05:03] <sp__> g_: www.linux-live.org
[05:03] <paissad-hp> Ben64, http://pastebin.fr/5422
[05:03] <rww> userone: what happens when you tell it to play the video? any messages?
[05:04] <jet_> someone help me out.... i want to reload my mp3 player
[05:04] <jet_> i cant see it with banshee
[05:04] <jet_> or rythmbox i just forget what im doing
[05:04] <sp__> !details @jet
[05:04] <userone> rww: no messages, the video is just 'paused' and doesnt play. i am using 64bit 9.04 jj, if that makes a difference.
[05:05] <jet_> either that or i used something different but i dont think so.
[05:06] <irb111> SP: are there any keywords I should be looking for?
[05:06] <jet_> never mind
[05:06] <jet_> i guess i had to use the same port as last time
[05:06] <sp__> irb111: no idea, sorry :(
[05:07] <mattgyver> Just installed KD4.2.2 and apps are noticeably slower to load on my machine than within gnome, anyone know any tweaks?
[05:07] <rww> userone: that's odd. it's supposed to pop up a window if you're trying to play something for which it doesn't have codecs. If you're not getting that, you could try opening a terminal (Accessories -> Terminal), typing "totem" and hitting enter, and seeing if you get anything starting with "** Message: Missing plugin:" when you try to open the video.
[05:08] <DaZ-> mattgyver, why not 4.3?
[05:08] <DaZ-> mattgyver, prelink,preload
[05:08] <mattgyver> DaZ- I just installed the kde package from the repos thats all
[05:08] <zopiac> can I disable tooltips? they just get in my way a lot :(
[05:09] <userone> rww:ok. i just tried something. i opened a wmv file and it asked to 'search for a suitable plugin?'. i played another avi file in totem without a problem. the avi file i couldnt play works in avidemux but the playback 'stutters'. is there a problem with the file?
[05:11] <rww> userone: Possibly. It may also be encoded differently/weirdly with something totem can't deal with. .avi is basically a container format; lots of different types of video can be held in it. If you don't mind enabling the multiverse repository, vlc might be able to play it (it's free software, but is in multiverse because of software patents).
[05:11] <detonation> What are you guys using as software mp3 players?
[05:11] <userone> rww: the 'plugin search' found gstreamer-ugly. is that still 'open source', but just cant be distributed?
[05:11] <sureshsundriyal> q
[05:12] <Formode> I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Any have a solution?
[05:12] <student> !cloaks
[05:12] <student> !cloak
[05:12] <rww> userone: I believe so, yes.
[05:12] <userone> rww: i will try to convert the avi file to mp4 in avidemux. that might fix that problem?
[05:13] <rww> userone: yeah
[05:15] <Formode> I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Possibly caused by the xorg server update yesterday... Any have a solution?
[05:15] <mralexandro> what are the difference between the ubuntu and netbook release, do you have the same options in netbook remix? like compiz cube etc?
[05:15] <slacker_nl> how can i found out if file x is symbolicly linked, eg /opt/somefile is a symbolic link of /opt/bla
[05:15] <zopiac> im trying to copy a folder, and it gives me this output: cp: omitting directory `/home/zopiac/Desktop/Borealis'
[05:16] <nnull> mralexandro, Yes.
[05:16] <slacker_nl> how can i found out by doing .... /opt/bla ?
[05:16] <darklight84> I'm trying to use checkinstall to install libpcre since the version in the repository for hardy is not current, and another app I'm building needs the current version.
[05:16] <darklight84> could someone look over this paste and tell me what is going wrong? http://paste.ccpssolutions.com/?show=191
[05:16] <zopiac> does anyone know whats wrong?
[05:16] <Formode> zopiac, cp -r
[05:16] <Ben64> slackd00d: ls -ho
[05:16] <zopiac> ok thanks
[05:16] <Formode> zopiac, You need to enable recursive with -r
[05:16] <mralexandro> nnull, thanks:)
[05:17] <sekyourbox> any programs for ubuntu to individually erase a file with DoD standards?
[05:17] <Flannel> sekyourbox: shred
[05:17] <nnull> mralexandro, also I would especially recommend UNR if your cpu is Atom.
[05:17] <sekyourbox> ah
[05:17] <slacker_nl> Ben64: not working
[05:17] <rww> slacker_nl: the output of "ls -l /path/to/link" will end in "-> destination_here" if it's a symbolic link.
[05:17] <sekyourbox> thx flannes
[05:17] <sekyourbox> flannel*
[05:17] <Ben64> slacker_nl: define "not working"
[05:17] <mralexandro> nnull, yeah, its my gs's netbook, but yes it does have atom
[05:17] <slacker_nl> rww: i want the other way around
[05:18] <mralexandro> nnull, if it works well i almost want one myself:)
[05:18] <zopiac> can I disable tooltips? they just get in my way a lot :(
[05:18] <slacker_nl> Ben64: i know that .kde is a symbolic link of .kde4 (ln -s .kde4 .kde), now I want to have $command .kde4 and tell me it is linked to .kde, ls -ho didn't do the trick
[05:19] <belcher> I'd recommend crunchbang linux (based on Ubuntu) for the atom CPU. I have a Asus 1000HE, tried a lot of distros and found crunchbang lite to be the best
[05:19] <belcher> just my 2 cents
[05:19] <Formode> I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Any have a solution?
[05:19] <darklight84> anyone?
[05:19] <MadGirl> i guess anyone is using xorg-server with USE=minimal?
[05:19] <Ben64> slacker_nl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260152/
[05:19] <belcher> Netbook remix kinda sucked compared to crunchbang. Of course, I'm not a big Gnome/KDE fan ...
[05:19] <slacker_nl> click
[05:20] <nnull> mralexandro, depends on the model of netbook, but for many works out of the box.
[05:20] <userone> belcher: i have ordered an asus 100he, what do you mean by 'best'. i was going to install full ubuntu
[05:20] <BrawnGP> Help on installing openBVE and more routes please
[05:20] <rww> slacker_nl: So, given the destination file, find the symbolic links? I don't think there's a command for that.
[05:20] <albech> i have had some problems with audio dying after a while on my 1000he
[05:21] <slacker_nl> rww: correct
[05:21] <mora> I've just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my system, and the Hardware Drivers panel doesn't list any video drivers even after a restart and apt-get update/upgrade.
[05:21] <slacker_nl> Ben64: doesn't work, since you assume the symlink is in the same directory
[05:21] <mralexandro> nnull, acer aspire one d250, it is in tier one, but i have to fix the known isssues, but i will ask here after the install:)
[05:21] <belcher> userone, that's an option as well. By "best" I meant working out of the box, not installing any cruft I didn't want, and fitting nicely on a 2Gig SDHC card :)
[05:21] <nnull> albech, yeah i had that, just need to reselect the right interface in sound i found, some reason changes it very occasionally
[05:21] <albech> if i restart pulseaudio it is working again, but you cannot expect nornal users to do that
[05:21] <belcher> userone, incidently, I LOVE my 1000HE
[05:21] <belcher> I just smooched it
[05:22] <Formode> I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Possibly caused by the xorg server update yesterday... Any have a solution?
[05:22] <Ben64> slacker_nl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260153/
[05:22] <albech> for the rest a full ubuntu 9.04 works really nice on 1000he
[05:22] <Besogon> CDRECORD said me "cdrecord: Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped." What is it mean? Should I doing thomething to resolve this problem?
[05:22] <slacker_nl> Ben64: brb
[05:23] <userone> belcher: yes, i was going to get the new 1008ha. but 2 usb ports isnt enough (1 for usb modem, 1 for usb mouse, so where does the usb storage device go?) and i need a replaceable battery pack for long trips on the road.
[05:23] <rww> slacker_nl: actually... find -L /path/to/search/in -samefile destination_here might do it
[05:23] <nnull> userone, into the usb hub :P
[05:23] <belcher> userone, yeah, good choice. I need the 3 usb ports all the time, and don't want a stupid USB hub hanging off it
[05:24] <nnull> i have the 3 ports, i still need a usb hub heh..
[05:24] <nnull> i dont see how 1 extra port is your decision changer
[05:24] <slacker_nl> Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260155/
[05:24] <slacker_nl> rww: lemme look
[05:24] <albech> the replaceable battery is a valid reason tho
[05:25] <rww> slacker_nl: though if you set /path/to/search/in to /, you'll likely get a bunch of errors, which would be fixed by adding 2> /dev/null to the end.
[05:25] <albech> the 1000he just run forever
[05:25] <userone> nnull: good point...but like belcher said, i would want an extra hub. also, what about the battery pack? :-)
[05:25] <Ben64> slackd00d: # This should produce /path/to/symlink, which doesn't happen:
[05:25] <Ben64> slacker_nl: ^
[05:25] <Ben64> what does that mean? everything seems correct
[05:25] <nnull> userone, all comes down to personal preference ;)
[05:25] <slacker_nl> Ben64: i want to see .kde
[05:25] <Ben64> the whole idea with symlinks is to make a file appear in multiple places, without using extra disc space
[05:26] <userone> albech: do you recommend upgrading to 2gb ram?
[05:26] <belcher> userone, well, the only real difference is the form factor
[05:26] <slacker_nl> i now why, but I want to know if a file is used as a symlink, and if so, where the symlink resides
[05:26] <belcher> userone, why not? RAM is cheap atm and it's easy enough to install
[05:26] <userone> or does the 1000he work well enough without it?
[05:26] <rww> slacker_nl: an example of the command I said: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260157/
[05:26] <slacker_nl> rww: i'm running the find just now
[05:27] <detonation> userone,  i'd suggest the ram upgrade.
[05:27] <belcher> userone, I installed 2Gig for the reasons I just said, but I doubt if I go beyond 1 Gig much, even using VIsual Studio 2008 a lot
[05:27] <albech> userone: i havent done it and for most things you would do on a netbook, 1gb is fine imo
[05:27] <nnull> userone, keep in mind if you don't upgrade your stuck with a gig stick of so dimm ram :) -- but if they charge to install it don't let them, its too easy to do it yourself
[05:27] <detonation> It runs for 18.99 at newegg.
[05:27] <belcher> userone, booting into linux I don't get anywhere near the 2 gig
[05:27] <userone> belcher: yes, thats another reason i didnt go for the 1008ha. difficult to upgrade the ram compared to the 1000he
[05:27] <Formode> I've lost the ability to run Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, and xterm. Running Awesome3 WM... Possibly caused by the xorg server update yesterday... Any have a solution?
[05:27] <nnull> belcher, plus the cost of a 1x4gb stick 4x's in cost after 2gb.
[05:28] <detonation> userone,  I'm on a 1000he right now in Ubuntu Jaunty. I'm using 1.5gb of ram currently.
[05:28] <slacker_nl> rww: i'm familiar with redirecting output btw ;)
[05:28] <rww> slacker_nl: oh, good. It confuses lots of people, so I figured I'd better check :)
[05:29] <nnull> detonation, does the he have 2 ram slots? or do you have a 1x1.5gig stick?
[05:29] <belcher> heh, I'm on a 1000he now with crunchbang and am using 303Gig of ram
[05:29] <Formode> detonation, holy crap Ubuntu is heavy... I'm on Arch and I'm at less then 400 with opera and sonata open.
[05:29] <Formode> Several tabs xD
[05:29] <belcher> detonation, just what the hell are you running? lol
[05:29] <userone> detonation: and what apps are you running right now?
[05:29] <detonation> Single stick nnull. I have 2gb installed, and using 1.5gb currently
[05:29] <nnull> detonation, ah.
[05:29] <detonation> let met see if I remember how to do this
[05:29] <userone> belcher: lol!! great minds think alike! :-)
[05:30] <belcher> There is only 1 RAM slot
[05:30] <slacker_nl> rww: that find command sure takes long :/
[05:30] <detonation> MemFree:          473528 kB
[05:30] <detonation> MemTotal:        2053520 kB
[05:30] <belcher> userone, heh, even when I was running the full Jaunty I didn't get anywhere near 1.5 gig
[05:30] <lowlycoder> i'm hearing that ubuntu sometimes kill macbook pro due to improper management of cpu votage / the SMC chip -- does anyone have documentation on this, or is this just fear mongering?
[05:30] <rww> slacker_nl: you told it to look in /, I guess? I imagine that would take a while.
[05:30] <slacker_nl> rww: $HOME, but that is 50_gb
[05:31] <slacker_nl> my root is 20 gb, 4 in use
[05:31] <Saleh> hey
[05:31] <belcher> ah, you need to look at the buffered and cached memory. Remember linux manages RAM differently than 'doze. Not all that RAM is in use
[05:32] <detonation> Very true. It's been many moons since I've been on Linux/BSD and am slowly remembering things.
[05:32] <detonation> I was sitting at /proc and /etc trying to remember lol
[05:32] <mralexandro> nnull, is it possible to remove the huge "menu bar" on the desktop of the remix?
[05:32] <belcher> detonation, heh, it's fun to come back to it though
[05:32] <slacker_nl> cd /proc ; while : ; do think ; done ;)
[05:32] <nnull> mralexandro, Yup :)
[05:32] <detonation> Very, very true belcher
[05:33] <nnull> mralexandro, It's someone in System i belief.
[05:33] <mralexandro> nnull, awesome!:)
[05:33] <nnull> mralexandro, Somewhere*
[05:33] <mralexandro> nnull, i will find it. just needed confirm:)
[05:33] <nnull> mralexandro, no worries
[05:33] <belcher> if only my professors didn't put documents up as .docx and my teams didn't use Microsoft Project, I'd never have to boot 'doze again
[05:34] <slacker_nl> belcher: antiword doesn't support .docx yet? ;)
[05:34] <userone> actually, i finally had to replace my trusty old psion5mx, and an asus 1000he running full ubunut 9.04 (and now going to be upgraded to 2 gb ram) seemed like the perfect choice!
[05:34] <nnull> oOO can open docx can't it?
[05:34] <Flannel> belcher: OOo will open docx
[05:34] <slacker_nl> really
[05:34] <esaym> howdy
[05:34] <slacker_nl> ?
[05:34] <userone> belcher: detonation: good to know you like the 1000he
[05:34] <ushus> k  i need to connect my lap to bsnl wireless connection
[05:34] <belcher> slacker_nl and Flannel, it doesn't render the equations properly. I am a math/comp sci major and need to see those formulas :)
[05:35] <belcher> in fact, it doesn't even show the equations most of the time
[05:35] <ushus> so  it is now asking for wpa password
[05:35] <slacker_nl> belcher: mkay, sucky
[05:35] <ushus> can anyone please help
[05:35] <belcher> userone, yeah, I had my misgivings, but now I use it more than my desktop or my $2500 thinkpad
[05:35] <nnull> have you guys ever used the ahh.. repair partition? if so does it wipe the 2nd partition on the drive? (im dualbooting)
[05:35] <Besogon> CDRECORD said to me "cdrecord: Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped." What does it mean? Should I doing something to resolve this problem?
[05:35] <belcher> chuck it in the bag and go. Got 8.5 hours battery life yesterday
[05:36] <mralexandro> anyway i can resize the xp partition on a netbook, using the netbook live cd ?
[05:36] <gwildor> belcher, i have 1000h... i wish i got 4 hours... lucky dog you
[05:36] <ushus> ChanServ:so u have any idea wat i nwwd to do
[05:36] <rww> nnull: the one that came with your computer? Yes, it generally does, though every OEM's repair partition is different.
[05:37] <belcher> gwildor, hmm I have a friend who has a 1000H and he tweaked it to get 5.5 hours. Powertop is a good utility for that, if you are interested
[05:37] <gwildor> belcher, *nix ?
[05:37] <ushus> ChanServ:it is asking for wpa and wpa 2 password
[05:37] <belcher> gwildor, ah no. Heh, I forgot. That's with XP. *nix has a shorter life span
[05:37] <userone> belcher: do you have to be very conservative in use to get that kind of battery life?
[05:37] <mralexandro> nvr mind found it:)
[05:37] <belcher> userone, nah, I was using everthing - wireless and bluetooth on too
[05:38] <ushus> <belcher: so u got any ideas
[05:38] <irb111> hi all
[05:38] <gwildor> belcher, though there is a powertop tool for linux... im looking into that now.

[05:38] <belcher> ushus, I have lots of ideas. None relate to your question
[05:38] <userone> belcher: i think the 1000he has an 8500mA battery pack?
[05:38] <belcher> gwildor, heh yeah, I just recommended it
[05:38] <irb111> i just had to reinstall Ubuntu and i did it using the non-expert option
[05:38] <belcher> userone, yeah
[05:38] <irb111> it looks like X wasn't installed
[05:39] <ushus> <belcher: k wat ideas
[05:39] <nnull> rww, ah, havent used a repair function since my old HP pc from the 90's heh
[05:39] <userone> slacker_nl:thanks for the link, just reading it now
[05:39] <irb111> is there a good APT repo to get that from?
[05:39] <belcher> ushus, well, I have an idea that if I started my assignments earlier I wouldn't have to rush in the last few days
[05:39] <belcher> there's one idea
[05:39] <NoCode> If packages are kept back, what can I do to get them to install?
[05:39] <ushus> k
[05:39] <ushus> thats gud
[05:40] <ushus> well even i beleive in that
[05:40] <belcher> ushus, I had another idea that if I attached some sort of tube to my nether regions I wouldn't have to get up from the couch to go to the bathroom. That's another idea I had
[05:41] <ushus> cool idea try implementing it common dude
[05:41] <ushus> <belcher: dont be shy
[05:42] <slacker_nl> NoCode: you could do: aptitude install $package, but usually there is a reason why they are kept back
[05:43] <slacker_nl> NoCode: breakage may occur
[05:43] <userone> slacker_nl: that was an interesting link, thanks
[05:44] <slacker_nl> userone: np, pure coincidence, I only found it last week or so, wanted to tweak my lappy to enhance bat life
[05:44] <esaym> what will happen if I installed the libc6 from jaunty into intrepid?
[05:44] <prince_jammys> NoCode: aptitude may say a package was 'kept back' if there's an available update, but you didn't install it yet.  use aptitude's interface to see what's up:  sudo aptitude
[05:44] <lstarnes> esaym: it would likely break things
[05:44] <NoCode> slackd00d: Yeah, earlier I did, "isudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" which upgraded a few packages, kept back a few. Then I just opened up Synaptic, and marked all upgrades. It's removing a couple packages and upgrading 40mb worth.
[05:44] <esaym> lstarnes: :(
[05:44] <esaym> lstarnes: it seemed to install fine...
[05:44] <lstarnes> esaym: libc is something that should not be messed with
[05:44] <slacker_nl> userone: if you are runnig kde, the agressive powersave options are really nice, bat life got up 1 hrs
[05:44] <esaym> I had to update to the mdadm in jaunty
[05:45] <esaym> because the mdadm in intrepid is broken
[05:45] <slacker_nl> esaym: aptitude -s install that_package and see what changes
[05:45] <vix>  
[05:45] <esaym> slacker_nl: well it is already installed...
[05:45] <slacker_nl> esaym: but like said it might break something
[05:45] <esaym> hmm
[05:45] <slacker_nl> esaym: it also forces an update when there is an higher version
[05:45] <userone> belcher: detonation: when i get the 1000he, is there anything i need to know before installing ubunut, or is it a straight install?
[05:45] <slacker_nl> esaym: apt-cache policy $pkg
[05:46] <belcher> userone, um .. as long as you are cool with being able to install from an SD card, or have an external optical drive it's all good
[05:46] <slacker_nl> esaym: you do have the jaunty repo already enabled in your sources.list?
[05:46] <detonation> straight install with the exception of grabbing 2 or 3 things userone
[05:46] <userone> slacker_nl:actually, i am a gnome fan, and so thats not as battery intensive as kde, i think
[05:46] <userone> detonation: what are those?
[05:47] <slacker_nl> userone: i dunno, but the powersave options of kde are really nice
[05:47] <detonation> the eeepc acpi program/backend
[05:47] <slacker_nl> although I would prefer some other service to take care of it, so it becomes gui independent
[05:47] <userone> belcher: i will use a usb storage device to install. there is a 'howto' on the ubunut forums i think
[05:48] <belcher> userone, yeah. I created a SD card with crunchbang linux on it to use as a "liveCD" or rescue disk, or just when I want to take out the HD and have no moving parts
[05:48] <belcher> userone, it's pretty straight forward
[05:48] <slacker_nl> and userone gnome sucks, everyone knows that ;)) grin
[05:49] <esaym> slacker_nl: yes but I changed it back already
[05:50] <eldady2580> Enter text here... hi
[05:50] <slacker_nl> esaym: if you enable it, run an update and do apt-cache policy you can see the candidate, and simulate the install action, it will show you what will be upgraded..
[05:50] <userone> slacker_nl:yes, i have been told that! funny thing is, I have a core 2 dual processor laptop with 4GB ram and 512MB dedicated graphics card and i STILL use gnome!! :-)
[05:51] <slacker_nl> userone: epic fail ;) I'm such a kde fanboy, i would run kde on a server, because otherwise it would not be ready for the job
[05:51] <slacker_nl> ok, back to work
[05:51] <userone> detonation: what was this you mentioned about the eeepc acpi/backend?
[05:51] <slacker_nl> rww: that find is still running...
[05:51] <esaym> slacker_nl: It has already been installed.  I had to install mdadm and udev from jaunty so that I could assemble by broken raid5 array.  The mdadm in intrepid seg faults with assembling broken arrays... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/282492
[05:51] <slacker_nl> esaym: ahh, check
[05:52] <detonation> userone, it's a small program for fn keys
[05:52] <eldady2580> i am just looking for sex
[05:52] <detonation> i believe it also allows underclocking etc
[05:52] <slacker_nl> esaym: stupid question perhaps, but why not upgrade to jaunty?
[05:52] <slacker_nl> eldady2580: aren't we all
[05:53] <esaym> slacker_nl:  I don't know, this was all done over email with a friend... I told him not to upgrade it...
[05:53] <nroot7> I am using ubuntu 9.04 on windows virtual pc. Can I still ask for help :-)
[05:53] <esaym> err, not to upgrade the libc6
[05:53] <slacker_nl> esaym: mkay
[05:53] <slacker_nl> esaym: it could work, with debian you can mix and match between stable, testing and unstable as well
[05:53] <slacker_nl> so why would ubuntu be any different??
[05:54] <esaym> slacker_nl: I don't know.  That is way I use debian
[05:54] <lstarnes> slacker_nl: uubntu is not debian
[05:54] <userone> detonation: i read the ubunutu forums, and i think the 1000he is listed as a tier 1 supported netbook, so i thought all the fn keys would be supported. on my laptop every fn key worked perfectly out of the box with 64bit 9.04! i was surprised!
[05:54] <multiverse> Hi, I am using Firefox and tinyChat, but the mic isn't working, though I can make recordings on the system. What am I doing wrong?  Ubuntu 9.04
[05:54] <lstarnes> *ubuntu
[05:55] <pshr> hello is there any command or any where that i can look on to all the specifications of my computer like Cache, RAM, Harddsik FSB speed etc
[05:55] <pshr> ?
[05:55] <detonation> userone, if I remember correctly, it does, to a point. The addon program replaces it with additional functionality (underclocking, on screen display of capslock key / etc)
[05:55] <userone> detonation: i see...but all this chat about the 1000he is now makling me impatient to recive it now!! :-)
[05:56] <_bugz_> pshr, less /proc/cpuinfo, free -m, df -h, fdisk -l
[05:56] <detonation> they're fun little things, that's to be sure of.
[05:56] <pshr> thanks _bugz_
[05:56] <belcher> userone, haha. I know the feeling.
[05:56] <belcher> makes me wish I hadn't plunked down $2,500 for the T61
[05:57] <Schmitty> how often does bash_hostory update?
[05:57] <C-S-B> whats a good IDE? C & C++
[05:57] <C-S-B> please dont say emacs...
[05:57] <DaZ> vim <:
[05:58] <Innomen> hi all i have a DWA-552 (purchased on suggestion from people in this room gheheh) and i can not make it work where can i offically confirm weather or not the dlink dwa-552 is supported under ubuntu?
[05:59] <userone> belcher: ise a lot of cad type apps (qcad, blender) and so I would still need a heavyweight laptop. i am sure you will find a use for the T61! As i said, the 1000he for me was to replace a psion5mx! (Now that was a well designed machine...but maybe thats for a different forum!!!)
[05:59] <Innomen> device manager see it but it has a question makr, the drivers installed through the wrapper all say invali driver, and the install process run through wine fails when it cant see the card
[06:00] <pshr> _bugz_, the cache size which is given by /proc/cpuinfo does that refer to L1 or L2 ?
[06:00]  * pshr guesses its L1
[06:00] <Innomen> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1163054 according to this forum post it's supposed ot work out of the box
[06:00] <Innomen> what mistake could  be making? what is the process ofr installing a wifi card?
[06:01] <belcher> C-S-B, there's a few, but they all suck compared to VS, if you are used to that. I'll get flamed, but it's the truth.
[06:01] <belcher> userone, ah yeah, I use it, just not as much as I was intending to. The heaviest thing I do mostly is compiling lol
[06:01] <C-S-B> belcher: ive used netbeans in the past. I found that pretty good with java
[06:02] <belcher> C-S-B, i use eclipse for the Java. Or sometimes bluej lol
[06:03] <Innomen> come on guys someone has to knowthe basic process for instaling a wifi card
[06:03] <Ky|E-> lol
[06:03] <Ky|E-> Need some help??
[06:03] <belcher> Once I stopped playing games (so I could actually pass my honours year at university) I found I had way overpowered hardware lol
[06:03] <Ky|E-> innomen you doin usb wifi?
[06:04] <Innomen> Ky|E-, no, pci dlink dwa-552
[06:04] <optimus> just to ask.. if i am missing something.. Why linux is better than windows??
[06:04] <Ky|E-> Not sure... think it has somthin to do with driver and modprobe
[06:04] <belcher> optimus, not "better". Different. Different tools for different jobs
[06:04] <Ky|E-> Google those word's and you should be set
[06:04] <nnull> think it might have something to do with choice.
[06:05] <Innomen> Ky|E-, scroll up and read what i already said
[06:05] <Ky|E-> I just joined bud
[06:05] <Ky|E-> sorry
[06:05] <optimus> belcher: explain..
[06:05] <belcher> optimus, if linux doesn't seem "fun" and interesting to you, you probably won't like it
[06:05] <Innomen> ahh
[06:05] <userone> optimus: its personal preference. i like linux because its open source
[06:05] <losher> Innomen: you're trying to install it through wine?
[06:06] <Ky|E-> switching server's
[06:06] <Ky|E-> Peace
[06:06] <Ky|E-> sorry couldnt help
[06:06] <jaynano> optimus: it really depends on what you'll be using your computer for.
[06:06] <Innomen> hi all i have a DWA-552 (purchased on suggestion from people in this room gheheh) and i can not make it work where can i offically confirm weather or not the dlink dwa-552 is supported under ubuntu? device manager see it but it has a question makr, the drivers installed through the wrapper all say invali driver, and the install process run through wine fails when it cant see the card  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1163054 according to this fo
[06:06] <Innomen> rum post it's supposed ot work out of the box
[06:07] <Innomen> i hope that helps, thats what i said before all pasted togather heheh
[06:07] <sajjad> hi to all
[06:07] <belcher> to tell the truth, the open source aspect is tangential to me. My main likes are the shell(s), the better access to hardware, the customization you can do, and aircrack-ng
[06:07] <belcher> oops, scratch the last one
[06:07] <symons> hi to all
[06:07] <sajjad> i have a problem with programming sriver for usb hid
[06:07] <optimus> jaynano: example
[06:08] <darl_nicj> anyone know if there is a combined bluetooth/wireless enabling dongle
[06:08] <sajjad> is there any one can help me
[06:08] <belcher> optimus, just use it. If you don't like it, don't use it
[06:08] <sajjad> ???
[06:08] <userone> belcher: the customization you can do is easier, and arguably better, precisely because it is open source?
[06:09] <optimus> belcher: and if i take development point of view then?
[06:09] <belcher> optimus, 'cause there's nothing worse than a windows refugee saying "It's not like Windows! Waaaah, how come it doesn't work like Windows? Waaaah!" :)
[06:10] <jaynano> optimus: for example, I do a lot of scientific computing, and there are so many open source libraries, recources, packages, etc., available out there.  All I have to do is look them up in Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager.
[06:10] <belcher> userone, well, not really, unless you are hacking at the OS source and kernel. Which I do do on occasion. Don't get me wrong, I'm an open source advocate. It's just not my #1 reason for using *nix
[06:10] <Innomen> heh, so no dice huh guys?
[06:10] <Innomen> !wifi
[06:10] <jaynano> it's easy to have Ubuntu machines running at work and at home.  I know that they'll function properly
[06:11] <belcher> I mean, how many people actually even look at the source, or even compile anything from source on ubuntu? They mostly get the binary blobs
[06:11] <detonation> hey now, those blobs are sexy
[06:11] <belcher> But one thing *nix will do - teach you a lot more about OSes than Windows can
[06:11] <belcher> detonation, heh, some are
[06:11] <detonation> ./configure --zomg-30-arguments-make-epeen=over9000
[06:11] <juicy> s
[06:11] <detonation> *cough*
[06:12] <userone> belcher: yes, you are right, but becuase the source code is accessible means that, if i had the inclination and the ability, i could make linux work the way I wanted it do, perfectly legally
[06:12] <Innomen> the number one thing about ubuntu for me is the fact that since it's not all the time worried that i'm copying it i can put it everywhere
[06:12] <optimus> jaynano: nobody disagrees that linux is better for development purpose than windows.. am i true?
[06:12] <Innomen> and i can sleep at night knowing i didnt pay some #$%hat's lexus payment
[06:12] <belcher> or "emerge for 17 hours but forget to include XXX in the build and have to build all over again" gentoo styley
[06:13] <prince_jammys> optimus: i'm sure you can find someone.
[06:13] <prince_jammys> slap 'em in the face when you do.
[06:13] <Ben64> it's more stable, secure, speedier, lightweight than windows, and costs infinitely less
[06:13] <belcher> userone, yeah, and I do. Everything we do in the lab is custom linux kernels/userland.
[06:13] <NoCode> !offtopic
[06:13] <optimus> prince_jammys: ha ha ha
[06:13] <melik> whats the best GUI client for MPD?
[06:13] <belcher> optimus, just use it dude. It's, like, free and stuff
[06:13] <NoCode> Check out Sonata if you're running Gnome
[06:14] <jaynano> optimus: True, Linux is definitely more convenient for dev
[06:14] <melik> anything other than sonata?
[06:14] <Ben64> even if i could get windows for free (legally)... it'd still not be worth it to me
[06:14] <NoCode> melik: I dunno. I'm sure there's more out there. Google is your friend. :)
[06:14] <melik> i have ncmpcpp
[06:15] <melik> for text based, its amazing
[06:15] <userone> optimus: belcher made a good point point...its FREE! so if you dont like it you didnt loas anything except your time, and as Innomen said, you didnt pay for anyones lexus repayment!! lol
[06:15] <melik> just need a good GUI
[06:15] <melik> alrighty
[06:15] <jaynano> optimus: especially if you are a student.  Open Source is really an amazing asset to Computer Science students trying to gain an understanding for any kind of programming really.
[06:15] <pshr> i need to know about the hardware details of my RAM any way to find that out ?
[06:15] <belcher> I just hate when people want convincing to use it. I mean, either use it or don't, it's not like other users care
[06:15] <belcher> jaynano, exactly
[06:16] <pshr> atleast the model name or manufacturer name of my RAM
[06:16] <pshr> its tough to google around barely with out any details :(
[06:16] <Ben64> yeah, last i checked there aren't any good *free* dev tools for windows
[06:16] <copet> hi
[06:16] <belcher> jaynano, but kinda scary when you start pulling apart some of the code. There is some really woolly stuff out there :)
[06:16] <Innomen> is dlink broadcom?
[06:17] <jaynano> belcher:  haha, no kidding.
[06:17] <trinium> hello
[06:17] <prince_jammys> howdy.
[06:17]  * pshr guesses lspci works 
[06:17] <Schmitty> how do I change volume via command line
[06:17] <NoiseGrade> depends on the card model Innomen
[06:17] <belcher> jaynano, plus, looking at some of the kernel code and the optimizations can scar students for life ;)
[06:17] <IcemanV9> pshr: lshw
[06:17] <optimus> jaynano: just to ask, u said, u are into some kind of analytics, i am using something called as 'R', do u kno any different kind of packages??
[06:18] <Innomen> dwa-552
[06:18] <oldude67> Schmitty, try alsamixer
[06:18] <pshr> thanks IcemanV9
[06:18] <jaynano> optimus: I started learning how to user R very recently
[06:18] <Innomen> this is disgusting, i guess i'll never come here for a device recomendation again
[06:18] <jaynano> optimus: use*
[06:18] <Schmitty> oldude67: is that a commandline player?
[06:18] <Schmitty> oldude67: right now I am using mplayer
[06:18] <belcher> Innomen, ciao :)
[06:19] <sub[t]rnl>  Innomen: it should, just did a quick search and see some threads of ppl that have it working
[06:19] <jaynano> belcher: I'm going to be taking an Operating Systems class this coming semester... so I think I might get to see some Kernel code
[06:19] <oldude67> Schmitty, no its away to change the volume control with alsa you didnt ask about a player.
[06:19] <sub[t]rnl> Innomen: works out of the box in 9.10
[06:19] <Innomen> sub[t]rnl, i know, yet it does not, and there apprears ot be no such thing as an offical list oif supposrted card
[06:19] <slacker_nl> lstarnes: i know ubuntu is not debian, but if (works in debian) { probably ubuntu too }
[06:19] <irb111> hi guys
[06:19] <Innomen> sub[t]rnl, what should i expect, plug it in reboot and login? are there any intermediate steps?
[06:20] <irb111> what's the easiest way to install the x-window-system on my new install
[06:20] <belcher> jaynano, ah the old OS class. I had to cram the process queueing algorithms for the exam and it damn near killed me
[06:20] <Schmitty> oldude67: yes there is. using mplayer, while music is playing you can use #'s 0 and 9
[06:20] <sub[t]rnl> Innomen: not in 9.10, it will load the proper modules/drivers and go
[06:20] <Innomen> !ot > belcher
[06:20] <slacker_nl> irb111: look for xorg-core iirc
[06:20] <sub[t]rnl> Innomen: your using 9.04 correct?
[06:20] <prince_jammys> irb111: sudo apt-get install x-server-xorg
[06:20] <optimus> belcher: but i think there is need of some kind of awareness about linux, i found it dam user friendly when i started using ubuntu. Most of the people still believe that linux is some kind of command line thing, at least the place where i am
[06:20] <Innomen> sub[t]rnl, yes, 9.04 jaunty
[06:20] <aurilliance> q: what's the name of the disk-resizing app on ubuntu?
[06:21] <irb111> slacker: i just installed and it looks like my network card isn't enabled. how do i turn it on?
[06:21] <Innomen> guys go discuss the wonder's of linux somewhere else this is a support channel
[06:21] <sub[t]rnl> Innomen: kk, gimmie a few
[06:21] <Ben64> aurilliance: a: gparted
[06:21] <losher> pshr: for model & manufacturer you'll probably have to open the box & look. Else if you bought off-the-shelf hardware, www.crucial.com may tell you what you need to know without having to get your fingers dirty...
[06:21] <belcher> optimus, I'm surrounded by comp sci students all day. They all love linux heh
[06:21] <aurilliance> Ben64: ty
[06:21] <Innomen> sub[t]rnl, thank you
[06:21] <optimus> few stuffs need commands but can be managed if u switch to channel like this
[06:21] <prince_jammys> optimus: there's some truth to that.
[06:21] <DigitalKiwi> optimus: cli > gui, though
[06:21] <De-Mentor> how do i update to the latest pulseaudio in 9.04?
[06:21] <pshr> thanks losher
[06:21] <slacker_nl> irb111: ifconfig eth0 ip up?
[06:22] <slacker_nl> irb111: you want to configure your interfaces file: man interfaces
[06:22] <slacker_nl> file is located in /etc/networks/interfaces
[06:22] <belcher> Innomen, well, I knew how to help you. But I think I'll pass
[06:22] <belcher> thanks :)
[06:22] <sub[t]rnl> Innomen: mind if I private?
[06:22] <irb111> slacker:ifconfig command not found
[06:22] <belcher> sub[t]rnl, don't cyber with him
[06:23] <oldude67> Schmitty, sorry the way you stated your question when first asked, it sounded like you was just wanting to raise or lower the volume of your sound, not with a certain player.
[06:23] <maour> i can ping a computer on my network with ip 192.168.1.2 and gnu user ! , how can i ssh to it ?
[06:23] <belcher> whoa pappy! No ifconfig?
[06:23] <Innomen> belcher, comp sci students love linux because comp sci students are avdersarial by nature, and you dont know how to help me
[06:23] <Innomen> sub[t]rnl, be my guest
[06:23] <slacker_nl> irb111: que? what does echo $PATH output?
[06:23] <sub[t]rnl> belcher: no promises
[06:23] <jrivera> can i ifdown eth1 my server but still be connected through eth0?
[06:23] <pheonix> does any one know wether the iphone 3GS has been launched in india
[06:23] <irb111> slacker: actually /sbin/ifconfig works
[06:23] <losher> belcher: re: Innomen, seems a bit harsh. I've seen much worse behavior on this channel...
[06:23] <belcher> Innomen, nah, comp sci students love linux because they are usually smart enough to figure out their problems on their own.
[06:24] <slacker_nl> irb111: i know, i guess /sbin is not in your PATH
[06:24] <losher> pheonix: so off-topic it's not funny...
[06:24] <pheonix> ok
[06:24] <NoCode> pheonix: Why are you asking this in #ubuntu? Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:24] <belcher> losher, lol, good call
[06:24] <Innomen> belcher, you're a rude sod and shouldnot be ina  hel channel if you thnk everyone should figure out thier own problems
[06:24] <belcher> now *that* was funny
[06:24] <Schmitty> how often does .bash_history update it's contents?
[06:24] <belcher> Innomen, I didn't say that. I commented on comp sci students in reply to your observation
[06:24] <jaynano> what'd I miss?
[06:25] <De-Mentor> anyone knows how do i update to the latest pulseaudio in 9.04?
[06:25] <Innomen> belcher, uhhh yes you did
[06:25] <belcher> jaynano, Innomen  is getting a little uppity. Besides that, not much
[06:25] <Innomen> sub[t]rnl, i'm useing 32
[06:25] <jaynano> haha
[06:25] <prince_jammys> Schmitty: when you close the shell
[06:25] <aurilliance> De-Mentor: sudo apt-get update pulseaudio ?
[06:25] <Innomen> belcher, OMG you're the one that just said everyone who isnt a compsci student or whoneeds occasional help with a problem isnt smart
[06:25] <Schmitty> prince_jammys: good good
[06:25] <belcher> Innomen, maybe you could get someone in the channel to teach you how to use "ignore"
[06:26] <De-Mentor> aurilliance, i have the latest version in the respitories i need a newer one to make my bluetooth headset work
[06:26] <Innomen> belcher, news flash you troll, some people have other things in thier life
[06:26] <belcher> Innomen, I'm sure if you ask nicely they could walk you through it
[06:26] <NoCode> Innomen: belcher Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:26] <IcemanV9> !ot
[06:26] <aurilliance> De-Mentor: ah, sorry, I can't help you then XD
[06:26] <belcher> Innomen, yes. Please cease this OT conversation. Thank you
[06:26] <jrivera> question: on an ubuntu server - can i do "ifdown eth1" and disable eth1 but be connected through eth0 via putty?
[06:26] <r0y4l> Why does my user-switcher don't show any options for logout, lock screen, etc. anymore?
[06:26] <Innomen> belcher, if they make me shut up when i go off topic they should makre you shut up, but they didnt because you were jerking it about how awesome linux was
[06:27] <belcher> I'm feeling it now :)
[06:27] <Schmitty> lil baby
[06:27] <IcemanV9> jrivera: yes as long as you're connected via eth0, not eth1
[06:27] <maour> ssh 192.168.1.2 -l afrand
[06:28] <maour> oops! is this command correct ?
[06:28] <maour> ^
[06:28] <Schmitty> maour: ssh user@host
[06:28] <melik> maour, u can also do 'ssh afrand@192.168.1.2
[06:28] <Devrethman> What's the easiest way to set up a basic NFS export?
[06:28] <losher> maour: looks ok. Add -v to get some debugging
[06:28] <Schmitty> ssh! | maour
[06:29] <NoCode> ssh user@ip you might have to install openssh and have specific port(s) open.
[06:29] <IcemanV9> !nfs
[06:29] <cremaster> i just accidentally force-quit my desktop and my icons vanished, how do i restart my desktop? panels are still there
[06:29] <jrivera> IcemanV9: follow up question - i can also do "ifup eth1" on the server and all computers connected through eth1 will have internet connection again
[06:30] <losher> Devrethman: there's only one way I know of to set up a basic NFS export. It's not too complex...
[06:30] <jrivera> ?
[06:30] <Devrethman> Is it with /etc/exports?
[06:30] <Devrethman> cause I know how to /etc/exports, I was just wonderingif there was some ubuntastic user friendly way of doing it
[06:31] <IcemanV9> jrivera: correct. what are you trying to do though?
[06:31] <Devrethman> I switched from Gentoo to here yesterday.
[06:31] <detonation> cremaster, alt+ctrl+backspace should restart x
[06:31] <losher> Devrethman: basically you need to install nfs-kernel-server, then configure /etc/exports, then run exportfs -av
[06:31] <brummbaer_> cremaster: ctrl-alt-f2 to a cli, execute 'halt -h' or 'reboot'
[06:31] <Schmitty> !going_back_to_windows
[06:31] <Devrethman> losher: okay, yeah, that's the way I know.
[06:31] <Schmitty> lol
[06:31] <losher> !webmin
[06:32] <r0y4l> Is ~/.gconfi/ the only place where it places all the settings?
[06:32] <r0y4l> -i
[06:32] <Schmitty> !lkm
[06:32] <Formode> Can't seem to Ctrl + C (Escape Sequence) in Terminator, URXVT, or Xterm anymore. Newest xorg is not the culprit, stty -a lists ^C as my escape... Anyone have a clue what's happening?
[06:32] <losher> Devrethman: maybe ebox will handle the config, but really the only slightly complex step is the /etc/exports, so you might as well just do it by hand...
[06:34] <jrivera> IcemanV9: i need to cut connection to all computers connected through eth1 for like 15 seconds then bring the connection back
[06:34] <xtagon> I have two machines on the same LAN. They can ping each other. Both are Ubuntu. Both are running openssh-server. But I can only actually connect to one from the other, and not vice verse (it hangs forever until finally timing out) can anybody help me? : /
[06:34] <IcemanV9> jrivera: that'll do
[06:35] <losher> xtagon: in the failing case, what does ssh -v .... report?
[06:35] <maour> nothing happens when i run ssh afrand@192.168.1.2 -v and it just says debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.2 [192.168.1.2] port 22.
[06:36] <Innomen> someone tell belcher i didnt order him kicked like some mafia don :P
[06:36] <slacker_nl> maour: telnet 192.168.1.2 22 or nmap 192.168.1.2 and check if port 22 is open
[06:36] <belcher> !ot | Innomen
[06:36] <jrivera> IcemanV9: I have also some questions with iptables because although i have blocked a particular MAC and IP and restarted networking and dhcp3-server the IP/MAC can still connect through.
[06:36] <belcher> Innomen, please remain on topic. This is a support channel :)
[06:36] <Innomen> belcher, which is what i'm trying to do but for your harassment
[06:36] <losher> Innomen: of the two, I'd have kicked *you* off for uncivilised language...
[06:37] <NoCode> losher:  -v causes ssh to print debugging messages about its progression
[06:37] <Innomen> losher, go for it if you think its needed
[06:37] <losher> NoCode: er, thank you, I think...
[06:37] <Innomen> i dont care who got kicked or why i just want ot fix my net card in peace
[06:37] <xtagon> losher, pastie.org is unavailable, but it's basically what maour just said
[06:37] <NoCode> for more v's up to 3 the more verbose it is
[06:38] <ibnulislam__> ibnulislam, :)
[06:38] <maour> nmap says Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes ,  > but i can ping it :-/
[06:38] <losher> Innomen: I don't think I care. I guess that's why I'm not an op...
[06:38] <belcher> Innomen, as I said, get someone to teach you how to use "ignore". It shouldn't take you too long - a couple days or so.
[06:38] <slacker_nl> maour: can you telnet to it? telnet $host 22
[06:38] <xtagon> losher, when I try to telnet it just hangs as well
[06:38] <IcemanV9> jrivera: i'm no expert on iptables ... i believe if you post question here, someone will help ya.
[06:39] <slacker_nl> if maour if that doesn't respond, either firewall blockign you or no sshd running
[06:39] <Innomen> belcher, idont ignore people oin principal, its akin to censorship
[06:39] <jrivera> IcemanV9: thank you though for the help regarding my previous question...
[06:39] <losher> xtagon: well, either the server isn't running, or something (a firewall) is blocking tcp connections to port 22...
[06:39] <Innomen> belcher, i just wanted whoever was in charge here ot tell you i didnt have you kicked so you could leave me alone
[06:39] <belcher> !ot | Innomen
[06:39] <slacker_nl> really guys
[06:39] <Innomen> *facepalm*
[06:39] <irb111> trying to configure my ethernet connection. in my /etc/network/interfaces i have auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp
[06:39] <prince_jammys> ignore each other already.
[06:39] <slacker_nl> learn to /msg for these kind of discussions
[06:40] <xtagon> losher, the server is running. Does Ubuntu come with a firewall that would be doing that?
[06:40] <NoCode> losher: Also if you feel up to it, there may be man pages available. Just open the terminal and for an example, type, "man ssh" without quotes.
[06:40] <losher> belcher: Innomen: ok, bored now. Please take it to offtopic...
[06:40] <irb111> and when i restart using /etc/init.d/networing restart i still can't get network access
[06:40] <belcher> slacker_nl, exactly. One shouldn't need the protecton of the herd
[06:40] <jrivera> IPtables question: blocked IP/MAC input and forwarding in firewall but still IP/MAC can still connect, why is it possible?
[06:40] <belcher> losher, hey I dropped it. The princess couldn't
[06:40] <maour> great ! thanks guys  , problem was with firewall
[06:40] <NoCode> Eh, I'm sure someone will get banned if it's kept up.
[06:40] <slacker_nl> maour: yw
[06:40] <xtagon> maour, I'm having the problem you described, how'd you fix it?
[06:41] <maour> xtagon: yes
[06:41] <losher> NoCode: we can only hope...
[06:41] <maour> xtagon: first be sure you have run sshd and then check your firewall
[06:41] <irb111> Can anyone help me with that issue?
[06:41] <Innomen> belcher, uh huh, that why you're still sending me a steady stream of 12 year old hate mail and you're still calling me names, but still, even you have a right to free speech, since i'm pretty sure you know i wasnt the one that kicked you by now, i'm done, but somehow i suspect you'll have more to say :)
[06:42] <Devrethman> is it possible to make ubuntu hotplug eSATA?
[06:42] <xtagon> maour, networking noob here : ( can you elaborate on "check your firewall?" I don't have a hardware firewall and if I have a software firewall it's Ubuntu's default and I know nothing of it
[06:42] <r0y4l> How can i reinstall a package with all dependencies?
[06:42] <maour> xtagon: install firestarter and just stop it with GUI
[06:43] <NoCode> xtagon: I doubt it's iptables. But it could be. I'm not totally sure. I haven't messed about that stuff in a long time
[06:43] <maour> xtagon: iptables is ubuntu default firewall
[06:43] <Innomen> oh well looks like the card wont work under unubntu anyway and since thee is no offical way to destermine that for sure i'll just return it and try a diffrent card untili find one that does
[06:43] <maour> but it's command line
[06:43] <maour> xtagon: ^
[06:43] <NoCode> gufw is a lot easier to use than firestarter. It's what I'd recommend.
[06:43] <Innomen> have a sweet day guys, the card in question was the dlink dwa552, dont buy it
[06:43] <losher> xtagon: normally there is no firewall *unless* you configured one. sudo iptables -L to check
[06:44] <IcemanV9> xtagon: in the terminal, type sudo ufw status (to see if the firewall is enabled or disabled)
[06:44] <nnull> Dont buy any dlink wireless cards if you want them to work on linux from the small amount of them ive tested
[06:44] <heoa> How can I see how I exited? For example, how to track exit status 0 or ...
[06:44] <heoa> ... some other number, like "exit 0" or "exit 1"?
[06:44] <Devrethman> or even a way to manually force a rescan of disks so that it knows when I've plugged one in?
[06:44] <prince_jammys> heoa: echo $?  to see the most recent command's exit status.
[06:44] <xtagon> losher, maour, NoCode, thanks! Running firestarter and stopping it worked.
[06:45]  * xtagon is off to go learn about firewalls
[06:45] <NoCode> xtagon: :)
[06:45] <IcemanV9> heoa: echo $?
[06:45] <maour> xtagon: yw
[06:45] <irb111> can anyone help me with a networking issue?
[06:46] <NoCode> !ask | irb111
[06:46] <irb111> trying to configure my ethernet connection. in my /etc/network/interfaces i have auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp
[06:47] <irb111> and when i restart using /etc/init.d/networing restart i still can't get network access
[06:47] <heoa> IcemanV9: prince_jammys  I do "$ exit 666" in terminal, it closes, I open ...
[06:47] <heoa> ... new terminal, I do "echo $?" and I get 0.
[06:47] <prince_jammys> heoa: the old shell wasn't a child of your current one.
[06:47] <IcemanV9> heoa: has to be in the same terminal
[06:48] <heoa> prince_jammys: precisely, how can I do it?
[06:48] <NoCode> irb111: I'm not really confident in helping on such issues, but with further regard is the loopback configured in the file?
[06:48] <alakhia> i'm trying to upgrade my nvidia drivers by downloading one from nvidia's web site
[06:48] <heoa> IcemanV9: how can I do a child terminal?
[06:48] <irb111> NoCode: yes it is
[06:48] <alakhia> the problem is that I need to run this without X
[06:49] <prince_jammys> heoa: spawn another terminal (or shell) from your current one
[06:49] <losher> heoa: make a file called test.sh and put /bin/sh <newline> exit 666 inside it. Then chmod +x test.sh then ./test.sh then echo $?
[06:49] <alakhia> and once I kill X, network manager dies and i lose my wireless connection too
[06:49] <prince_jammys> heoa: in your current terminal, type 'bash'.  you are now in a shell that's a child of your main one. exit 666, and echo $?
[06:50] <alakhia> for reasons I am not sure, the nvidia driver needs to download some stuff from the net and it fails
[06:50] <alakhia> any advice on how to get around this please?
[06:50] <losher> heoa: yeah, prince_jammys way is simpler than mine...
[06:50] <IcemanV9> heoa: use prince_jammys' recent example
[06:50] <NoCode> irb111: Okay. I don't really know the answer to the question. Someone else might. If not, and if it's a server check out #ubuntu-server, or ##networking
[06:50] <alakhia> !network manager
[06:51] <heoa> prince_jammys: worked well, but I cannot understand why the input 999 ...
[06:51] <heoa> ... gives me 231, while 111 gives 111
[06:51] <prince_jammys> IcemanV9: except it probably won't work :)
[06:51] <prince_jammys> heoa: because exit status must be between 0-255
[06:51] <disappearedng> Hey anyone here knows a good mp3 tag tool editor? ( I don't want anyhting heavy like amarok or you know)
[06:51] <prince_jammys> 666 get's OR'ed or XOR'ed or something.
[06:52] <losher> alakhia: last time I did it I downloaded a shell script for installing the driver e.g. NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run which I could run later. Maybe you can do it the same way?
[06:52] <rightfootmanda> anyone know how to help me? netbook is lagging miserably, youtube videos barely play, all flash updates are installed an what not. can someone gie me some direction on what to do?
[06:52] <NoCode> irb111: what codename is it? 8.04?
[06:52] <alakhia> losher: i download the script but i needs to build a binary module
[06:52] <neptunepink> I am having an issue when printing. When I print a text document, some of the lines have the tops of the letters cut off. I do not think it is a problem with the heads, because if I set a border, the problem isn't there. Does anybody know how to fix this?
[06:52] <alakhia> and for some reason it cannot so it connects to the web
[06:53] <alakhia> i don't have gcc installed so maybe that is the problem?
[06:53] <heoa> prince_jammys: cool, thank you.
[06:54] <IcemanV9> alakhia: aptitude install build-essential
[06:54] <prince_jammys> heoa: welcome.
[06:54] <knightwise> I have a bunch of rar files (part 1 , part 2 etc) and i would like to extract them all , is there a way to unrar them saying unrar X *part1.rar to unrar al of the files ?
[06:55] <alakhia> losher: i'll download build-essential and try again
[06:55] <losher> knightwise: usually you just need to say unrar x part01.rar and it finds the rest automagically...
[06:55] <gm|lap> knightwise: just a mo...
[06:55] <gm|lap> if it doesn't do that, try this
[06:55] <gm|lap> for a in *part1.rar; do unrar x "$a"; done
[06:55] <prince_jammys> knightwise: i don't know if unrar accepts multiple filenames, so: for file in *.rar; do your_command "$file"; done
[06:55] <alakhia> anything else i need? Do i need the kernel sources?
[06:56] <NoCode> losher: Knightlust I'm sure if you put all the files in a folder, cd to the folder and type "unrar x part*.rar or something like that
[06:56] <NoCode> If that's what the utility is called.
[06:56] <losher> knightwise: try mine first :-)
[06:57] <knightwise> prince_jammys: That worked ! awesome ! :)
[06:57] <NoCode> yeah indeed
[06:57] <b3rz3rk3r> hey all, i currently have xp and ubuntu dual-booting, and need to reinstall XP (il be resizing the partitions too, but im fine with that) i just wanted to know how hard its going to be to get grub back to how it was (as Xp will overwrite it im guessing?). I have done many many dual boots before, but always did XP first. Advice?
[06:57] <knightwise> thanx guyz
[06:57] <IcemanV9> alakhia: that's pretty much it. you'll see error message if it fails
[06:57] <NoCode> !grub
[06:57]  * knightwise just saved a few hours of time :) 
[06:57] <prince_jammys> knightwise: perhaps the other advice worked too. i don't recall if unrar pukes on unrar x *someglob*
[06:58] <b3rz3rk3r> NoCode, cheers mate, il take a lok
[06:58] <b3rz3rk3r> look*
[06:58] <NoCode> :)
[06:58] <alakhia> ok, build-essential it is ... i'll be back
[06:58] <knightwise> prince_jammys: yeah it does , tried that but it didnt work
[06:58] <alakhia> thanks guys for the help
[06:58] <prince_jammys> knightwise: ah, ok.
[06:59] <knightwise> if this kinda productivity keeps up i'm never going back to the gui again :)
[06:59] <NoCode> It's nice to have the best of both worlds.
[07:00] <knightwise> in return if anybody wants a good manual for the SCREEN command , check out www.knightwise.com
[07:00] <detonation> mm the old days of screen bitchx bring back memories
[07:00] <losher> b3rz3rk3r: XP will overwrite it. You can back up the grub MBR using dd e.g. dd if=/dev/sda of=MBRsda.bin bs=512 count=1 and then restore it later using the liveCD...
[07:01] <b3rz3rk3r> losher, will that backup my cutomisations such as kernel limits and colours too? also, if im resizing, will that affect it as well? never done it this way round before, so im hesitant to trust Xp wont destroy everything :p
[07:03] <heoa> http://pastebin.com/d3770f34e error with copying GNU Screen's session. Why?
[07:03] <heoa> not regular file error
[07:04] <lstarnes> heoa: it's a socket
[07:04] <losher> b3rz3rk3r: afaik, the only thing it will overwrite is the MBR. But note that if you resize any ubuntu partitions their UUIDs will change, so if your /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab reference any UUIDs, you will need to update them. Note that any time you play with partitions, there's a risk of losing your data. Make sure you have backups of anything irreplaceable...
[07:05] <prince_jammys> heoa: the prior question, btw, is that your 666 or 999 gets bitwise ANDed with 256
[07:05] <lstarnes> heoa: more correctly, it's a FIFO or named pipe
[07:05] <prince_jammys> heoa: echo $((999 & 256))
[07:05] <prince_jammys> if you care
[07:06] <heoa> prince_jammys: 256 as output
[07:06] <prince_jammys> heoa: echo $((999 & 255))
[07:06] <prince_jammys> heoa: sorry, 255.
[07:06] <b3rz3rk3r> losher, iv got autobackups running everyday.. learnt that one the hard way once, thx for the reminder tho ;)  Just to be on the safe side then, i wont resize anything until Oct, as il be reinstalling fresh then anyway for the new release
[07:06] <b3rz3rk3r> losher, thx
[07:06] <heoa> prince_jammys: 231
[07:06] <prince_jammys> heoa: that's the result you were getting, remember?
[07:07] <ugur> hi all i have written ubuntu netbook remix img to a 2GB pen drive but not it seems it is 1GB
[07:07] <ugur> how can i enlarge this partition?
[07:07] <komputes> ugur: you used dd to make the copy?
[07:07] <ugur> yes
[07:08] <heoa> prince_jammys: I understood it like "999 mod 256 = 231 "
[07:08] <komputes> ugur: gksudo gparted
[07:08] <losher> b3rz3rk3r: I think we all learn that one the hard way. BTW, installing a brand new release is at least as dangerous as resizing partitions, IMO...
[07:08] <ugur> i did it but it show as 2GB
[07:08] <Sp0d> anyone here have experience running TF2 through wine?  Im getting bad fps in game using EnvyKG
[07:08] <DigitalKiwi> ugur: hold on let me find some emails i keep marking as spam when i get them...they claim to help enlarge your partitions...
[07:08] <prince_jammys> heoa: ah, yes, same thing. cool.
[07:08] <ugur> haha funny
[07:08] <DigitalKiwi> but what komputes said works, sometimes
[07:08] <komputes> ugur: well first you need to install gparted, then you need to run it, just like other partition editors you can graphically expand the partition
[07:08] <losher> DigitalKiwi: never heard *that* one before...
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> and you can't do it on an active partition
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> so if you only have one drive, or need to resize the one on the running system, you need to use a live cd
[07:09] <komputes> DigitalKiwi: ugur that's right, you need to unmount it first (you can't be booted into the key when doing it)
[07:09] <ugur> i have gparted installed and it shows that there is a 2GB single partition on the drive but when i mount it i see only 1GB
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> and backup your data first since gparted ccan be flaky
[07:09] <komputes> ugur: boot from a live cd and do it from there, the live cd has gparted on it
[07:10] <panfist> hi, i want to play some 3d games in wine. which ati driver should i use
[07:10] <komputes> ugur: where do you only see 1GB?
[07:10] <b3rz3rk3r> losher, yeah, i know, esp with all the teething issues from the cutting edge, but i only install new ones on my gaming rig (along side XP for the actualy games) i use the LTS for my work machine.. and naturally do incremental backups everyday just incase. Still have yet to use them, but you never know right
[07:10] <losher> b3rz3rk3r: ok, sounds like you understand the risks, so my work is done here :-)
[07:11] <ugur> when i mount it with mount -o loop /dev/sdb /mnt/usbdisk and then after df -h
[07:11] <Sp0d> panfish: have you tryed EnvyNG?
[07:11] <panfist> nope
[07:11] <ugur> komputes: /dev/loop0            945M  926M   20M  98% /mnt/usbdisk
[07:11] <komputes> ugur: please explain where/how you get the info that the partition is only see 1GB if gparted shows you it is 2GB? if you use DF, please paste the output line relating to that key.
[07:11] <prince_jammys> i'd get some aspirin ready.
[07:11] <Sp0d> im using it for nvidia drivers but it has ati support at tells you which drivers are recommended
[07:12] <komputes> ugur: and can you take a screenshot of what gparted shows?
[07:12] <ugur> sure
[07:13] <komputes> ugur: why is it /dev/loop0 and not /dev/sdb1 for example
[07:13] <panfist> can i configure my mousewheel to page up/page down instead of scroll a few lines?
[07:13] <ugur> komputes: how can i send you the screenshot?
[07:13] <komputes> ugur: post it on the web or ubuntuforums
[07:13] <LLStarks> okay
[07:13] <coz_> ugur,  or you can go to picpaste.com
[07:13] <LLStarks> i'm an idito
[07:13] <LLStarks> *idiot
[07:13] <LLStarks> how do i make a source package from git?
[07:14] <komputes> ugur: you put the partition straight on sdb instead of sdb1
[07:14] <coz_> LLStarks,  if you open the archive  there should be a  README file
[07:14] <kangu> is anyone familiar with ndiswrapper?
[07:14] <LLStarks> there is no archive
[07:14] <LLStarks> i'm pulling straght from git
[07:14] <ugur> komputes: yes i remember it was written like that in ubuntu web page but i will check again
[07:15] <slacker_nl> what would be a good ballpark figure for /tmp space requirements?
[07:15] <slacker_nl> using tmpfs
[07:15] <LLStarks> i could download a auto-generated tarball, but how do i make that into a ppa package/
[07:15] <coz_> LLStarks,   inside the folder then
[07:15] <coz_> LLStarks,  what are you pulling down
[07:15] <LLStarks> a small project, libass
[07:15] <ugur> komputes: http://www.picpaste.com/gparted2GB.png
[07:15] <LLStarks> i want ppa the git tree
[07:15] <coz_> LLStarks,  do you have a link
[07:15] <lln->  /msg nickserv lln:oijfdv9#B
[07:15] <LLStarks> *the latest git commits
[07:15] <LLStarks> http://repo.or.cz/w/libass.git
[07:16] <komputes> ugur: doubleclick the warning symbol in gparted
[07:16] <yjjyt> how to restart audio in jackalope? (pulse)
[07:16] <coz_> LLStarks,  you can pull down the tar.gz as well from there but let me look at it
[07:16] <komputes> ugur: whats the error
[07:16] <coz_> LLStarks,  what is this for?
[07:16] <ugur> komputes: gparted says it is not mounted
[07:16] <LLStarks> personal use
[07:17] <yjjyt> volume and everything is set, was working, now no sound comes out after I tried to run that crap ekiga (which just crashed on a clean install... yey... sound otherwise was working fine in all apps)
[07:17] <LLStarks> and perhaps sharing with others
[07:17] <coz_> LLStarks,   looks like  you cd to the  folder    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
[07:17] <yjjyt> coz_, what is what for? (what LLStarks wants)
[07:17] <LLStarks> but i know jackshit about packaging and the guides aren't helping
[07:17] <coz_> LLStarks,  then ./configure
[07:17] <komputes> ugur: sudo umount /mnt/usbdisk ; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt ; df -h
[07:17] <coz_> LLStarks,  then make && sudo make install
[07:17] <LLStarks> i know that much,
[07:17] <cuddlefish> Hey, can anyone help me: I need to remove the -ubuntu2 from my python versions
[07:18] <coz_> yjjyt,   yeah  sorry did I accidentlly type your nick?
[07:18] <cuddlefish> due to dependencies
[07:18] <LLStarks> but i want to make packages
[07:18] <yjjyt> coz_, no, just being a dead cat
[07:18] <coz_> yjjyt,  oh ok
[07:18] <LLStarks> flawlessly, debian compliant packages that take care depencies and everything.
[07:18] <yjjyt> I got it from context now
[07:18] <LLStarks> *flawless
[07:18] <yjjyt> FINISH HIM!
[07:19] <yjjyt> sorry, thought this was mortal kombat. anyway, so restarting audio
[07:19] <ugur> komputes: umount says device is busy
[07:19] <komputes> ugur: cd /
[07:19] <heoa> prince_jammys: it is bitwise AND, you can test it like:   echo "obase=2; ...
[07:19] <heoa> ... 999"|bc > 255; echo "obase=2; 255"|bc >> 255;
[07:19] <heoa> echo "obase=2; 999"|bc > 255; echo "obase=2; 255"|bc >> 255;
[07:19] <komputes> ugur: and close any files open on the disk
[07:19] <Myrtti> cuddlefish: if you need to do that, you're doing something wrong
[07:19] <yjjyt> pulseaudio -k ; start-pulseaudio-x11
[07:19] <cuddlefish> Look, i'm trying to install pyaudio
[07:19] <komputes> ugur: then try the commands i gave again: sudo umount /mnt/usbdisk ; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt ; df -h
[07:19] <cuddlefish> and I get this
[07:20] <ugur> komputes: sudo umount /mnt/usbdisk ; sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt ; df -h worked but still the same from df -h
[07:20] <cuddlefish>  python-pyaudio depends on python (<< 2.6); however:
[07:20] <cuddlefish>   Version of python on system is 2.6.2-0ubuntu1.
[07:20] <cuddlefish>  
[07:20] <komputes> ugur: nautilus /mnt
[07:21] <ugur> komputes: i think it is the size of the image that i have written onto it
[07:21] <komputes> ugur: whats printed as "free space" at the bottom of the nautilus window
[07:21] <Myrtti> cuddlefish: you're misreading it
[07:21] <prince_jammys> heoa: bash can do it too: $((foo & bar))
[07:21] <cuddlefish> Doh! bad font in terminal
[07:21] <cuddlefish> heh heh he
[07:21] <Myrtti> cuddlefish: python-pyaudio depends on python version smaller than 2.6, but you've got 2.6.2
[07:21] <kangu> just had a quick question about ndiswrapper.. i installed everything perfectly but i cannot find out what is wrong.. my problem is it will be connected for awhile.. then all of a sudden randomly it disconnects and wont reconnect unless i reboot serveral times =/
[07:21] <cuddlefish> I see that now
[07:21] <komputes> ugur: did you follow a guide for making the image and then dd'ing it onto the usb disk?
[07:22] <yjjyt> cuddlefish, which font?
[07:22] <cuddlefish> it looks like ($# in Konsole
[07:22] <yjjyt> ah
[07:22] <Myrtti> cuddlefish: IIRC you can install several versions of python parallel to each other
[07:22] <heoa> prince_jammys: yeah, but it is hard to do bitwise operations without bits :)
[07:22] <prince_jammys> heoa: oh, yeah, 255 is 11111111
[07:22] <ugur> komputes: i just did what was written in ubuntu unr installing help page
[07:22] <cuddlefish> Yeah, i get that just couldn't see I needed to use older version
[07:23] <prince_jammys> heoa: echo $(( 2#101 & 2#111 ))
[07:23] <ugur> komputes: i downloaded the img and ran sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/device/node bs=1M
[07:23] <Sirmimer> Hello, i need help installing frostwire for ubuntu
[07:23] <wfiuewfew> Help! GPARTED says my file system is corrupt. Can I recover it?
[07:23] <prince_jammys> heoa: well, you don't get the answer in binary ... :)
[07:23] <heoa> prince_jammys: i was a  bit surprised by the difference 231 and 255, but ...
[07:23] <heoa> ... after calculating it is now mistery anymore
[07:24] <komputes> ugur: specifically what did you put for "of=/dev/device/node"
[07:24] <yjjyt> I run alsamixer and still no sound in headphones or otherwise
[07:24] <DigitalKiwi> well did you unmute channels yjjyt ?
[07:24] <yjjyt> how can I restart audio? I've tried stuff I found on google, but its a clusterfsck of outdated commands
[07:24] <ugur> komputes: specifically /dev/sdb
[07:24] <yjjyt> DigitalKiwi, I think, I'll try again and see
[07:24] <DigitalKiwi> "m" mutes/unmutes
[07:25] <yjjyt> DigitalKiwi, I figuree
[07:25] <komputes> ugur: hmmm... I can try to reproduce, can you give me the link to the guide you used
[07:25] <yjjyt> I figured that, when I press m it goes to MM, none were on MM
[07:25] <LLStarks> THESE PACKAGING GUIDES ARE USELESS!
[07:25] <yjjyt> DigitalKiwi, however, they are all maxed but read 00
[07:25] <ugur> komputes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles
[07:25] <heoa> lstarnes: sorry for the delay, any idea how to get it to other comp as ...
[07:25] <heoa> ... scp does not work
[07:25] <yjjyt> DigitalKiwi, in green, where MM shows if I mute them, below they say 100
[07:26] <komputes> ugur: and the link to the image you used
[07:26] <Sirmimer> I just downloaded a packet, how do i install it useing Terminal?
[07:26] <DigitalKiwi> i dunno :(
[07:26] <yjjyt> I get 'Failed to find original dlopen loader'
[07:26] <yjjyt> when running pulseaudio in terminal
[07:27] <yjjyt> DigitalKiwi, my sound crashed probably, this is annoying :(
[07:27] <NewBiew> could some one help with by pointing to a tutorial bout adding a CNAME in VPS with ubuntu hardy on it?
[07:27] <yjjyt> for two reasons, one I am trying to setup some sip clients, secondly, I wanted to see http://remix.vg/lady-gaga-friends-poker-face-the-autoscooter-moped-mash-1684/
[07:27] <ugur> komputes: http://ftp.linux.org.tr/ubuntu-releases/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img
[07:27] <LLStarks> these packaging guides make the false assumption that i want to build based on the repo version of package. THAT IS BULLSHIT!
[07:27] <LLStarks> i don't
[07:28] <mikejet> CNAME is often confused with google maps.
[07:28] <ugur> komputes: thanks a lot by the way
[07:28] <DigitalKiwi> /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[07:28] <DigitalKiwi> i think
[07:28] <komputes> ugur: wow 16 minutes from .tr let me find a better mirror
[07:29] <ugur> komputes: please take your time
[07:29] <powertool08> Does anyone here know how to change the sudo passprompt variable to a multi-line message?
[07:29] <komputes> ugur: local mirror - 1 minute ;)
[07:30] <LLStarks> please. i really need help.
[07:30] <LLStarks> i want to build a ppa package using a git commit or git tarball
[07:30] <LLStarks> how do i do this?
[07:30] <lstarnes> LLStarks: I think the ppas might use bazaar instead of git
[07:31] <ugur> komputes: yes we are used to that slow broadband! in Turkey
[07:32] <reenignEesreveR> i wanna setup an smtp server for outbound messages only (much like spamming :P) ... which server would be better? sendmail, postfix or something else?
[07:33] <komputes> ugur: did you clean/wipe the usb disk before doing the dd
[07:33] <NewBiew> mikejet: confuse with google maps? my friends had a domain name and want to virtually pointing to my vps ip, without changing the dns of his domain .
[07:33] <LLStarks> lstarnes.
[07:33] <LLStarks> that  isn't the issue
[07:33] <LLStarks> i am pulling from a git
[07:34] <LLStarks> i want build packages based on those pulls
[07:34] <ugur> komputes: no but it was previously formatted as 2GB fat32
[07:34] <lstarnes> LLStarks: for that, you will need to learn how to build packages with dpkg
[07:35] <LLStarks> the guides are proving useless for that.
[07:35] <komputes> ugur: usually i wipe it first, this may be the source of your problems
[07:35] <lstarnes> LLStarks: it's a rather difficult process
[07:35] <ugur> komputes: how can do that?
[07:36] <komputes> ugur: gparted, right click delete
[07:36] <komputes> ugur: and then apply
[07:36] <ftab> !gparted
[07:36] <LLStarks> lstarnes, the code i am building does have an ubuntu package. but it's outdated.
[07:36] <pissypaw> what's the regex to use with replace() to change the first character, if replace(/(^\w+)/ is the first word?
[07:36] <komputes> ugur: ugur you want to make sure there is no partition on the disk before the dd
[07:37] <ugur> komputes: i deleted the partition
[07:37] <lstarnes> LLStarks: you could try something like http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/How-to-make-deb-packages/
[07:37] <komputes> ugur: sudo dd if=ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img of=/dev/sdb (or whatever your dev name is for that disk)
[07:38] <Redman> I need help to program with Python but on channel #ubuntu-programming, no one answer !
[07:38] <lstarnes> LLStarks: this may also be useful:
[07:38] <lstarnes> !checkinstall | LLStarks
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> Redman: try #python
[07:38] <lstarnes> Redman: I think you want the channel #python
[07:38] <Redman> ok
[07:39] <lstarnes> Redman: you do need to have a nick registered with nickserv in order to join that channel though
[07:39] <DigitalKiwi> protip: don't say lol in #python
[07:39] <DigitalKiwi> they get pissy
[07:39] <Redman> Istarnes: I cannot becaus I'm not identified
[07:39] <LLStarks> for the love of god, none of this is what i want
[07:39] <Redman> How to make an account ?
[07:39] <MindVirus> Could someone please help with my trackpad?
[07:39] <lstarnes> !register | Redman
[07:39] <Redman> !register Redman
[07:39] <MindVirus> I can't disable tap-to-click no matter how hard I try.
[07:40] <Redman> !register | Redman
[07:40] <lstarnes> LLStarks: I'm sorry, but I don't understand exactly what you want
[07:40] <Redman> ok
[07:40] <kangu> !register | Redman
[07:40] <DigitalKiwi> MindVirus: weren't you having this probably 24 hours ago? >.>
[07:40] <kangu> just had a quick question about ndiswrapper.. i installed everything perfectly but i cannot find out what is wrong.. my problem is it will be connected for awhile.. then all of a sudden randomly it disconnects and wont reconnect unless i reboot serveral times =/
[07:40] <LLStarks> lstarnes, i just want to convert the git pull or git tarball to a ppa package. BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT I NEED A SOURCE PACKAGE THAT I CAN WORK WITH
[07:40] <MindVirus> DigitalKiwi: Absolutely.
[07:40] <DigitalKiwi> ouch
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> kangu: when it disconnects, run:   dmesg | tail
[07:40] <MindVirus> DigitalKiwi: I have a feeling I'm going to be an #ubuntu meme.
[07:40] <komputes> ugur: welcome back
[07:40] <kangu> thx
[07:40] <LLStarks> dsc. changes. orig.
[07:40] <LLStarks> etc
[07:40] <LLStarks> the works
[07:40] <LLStarks> i need that stuff
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> kangu: it will give clues
[07:40] <FloodBot2> LLStarks: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:41] <LLStarks> this is useless to me: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading
[07:41] <MindVirus> Does anyone know anything about touchpad drivers?
[07:41] <kangu> thank you actionParsnip make sure to do that when it does d/c
[07:41] <LLStarks> and the "building source packages" it links to is useless
[07:41] <ugur> komputes: yeah stupid kde crashed so killed the xorg
[07:41] <LLStarks> these guides assume bull
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> kangu: yes, as soon as it d/c run the command in terminal
[07:42] <ugur> komputes: i am rewriting the image now and i will tell
[07:42] <DigitalKiwi> actually where are the guides for dpkg
[07:42] <MindVirus> How do I disable tap-to-click, anyone?
[07:42] <DigitalKiwi> i want to see how hard it is compared to writing a PKGBUILD on arch, which is dead easy >.>
[07:42] <julian_> yo
[07:42] <ftab> !dpkg
[07:42] <julian_> alguien habla español?
[07:42] <Innomen> Hey all, anyone know if there are debs for madwifi?
[07:42] <losher> !es | julian_
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> !info madwifi-tools
[07:43] <julian_> ok ok
[07:43] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, to the resuce,
[07:43] <LLStarks> if i understand ppa functionality correctly, i only need to upload certain files, not a deb
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: you can also use: apt-cache search wifi | less
[07:43] <LLStarks> but i don't know how to generate a dsc, an orig, or any of those things
[07:43] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, well the machine in question cannot reach the net
[07:43] <lstarnes> LLStarks: I think the ppa build system will automatically handle that
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: but you have one that can
[07:44] <LLStarks> yes, but i need the files to upload
[07:44] <LLStarks> and i don't know how to create them from my source tree
[07:44] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, yea but i cant do apt anything on a windows machin :P
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: gotcha
[07:44] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, hencethe ask for a deb
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: then you can search packages.ubuntu.com
[07:44] <joejc> whats the right way to make a alias?
[07:44] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, will do
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> joejc: in ~/.bashrc
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: just teaching you to fish ;)
[07:45] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, i like fish, and i like sitting by bodies of water, so fishing could work for me :)
[07:46] <lstarnes> LLStarks: I think you can generate the data needed for the source packag (specifically the .dsc file) using dpkg-source
[07:46] <komputes> ugur: i have the same problem as you
[07:47] <komputes> ugur: /dev/sdc              945M  926M   20M  98% /media/49ED-21FF
[07:48] <slacker_nl> what would be a good ballpark figure for /tmp space requirements? using tmpfs
[07:48] <komputes> ugur: i get a different screenshot though
[07:48] <komputes> ugur: um, error
[07:48] <ugur> komputes: i think it is because the filesystem in the img is like that and since it is a raw write it is inherited in the new disk
[07:49] <LLStarks> lstarnes, you are assuming that i want use source available in the repos, are you not?
[07:49] <lstarnes> LLStarks: I am assuming that you want to use the sources available from a git repo
[07:49] <ugur> komputes: there should be a way to fix the metadata like fsck may be what do you say?
[07:49] <komputes> ugur: i think i need to say sdc1 and not sdc when doing the dd
[07:49] <LLStarks> one second
[07:49] <komputes> ugur: yes fsck it
[07:49] <LLStarks> let me try something
[07:49] <ugur> komputes: it says sdb and not sdb1 in dmesg in my pc
[07:50] <komputes> ugur: http://people.ubuntu.com/~komputes/gparted.png
[07:50] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, would you have any idea why a card that from all account is oob supported would not show up in wicd?
[07:50] <reenignEesreveR> which is the easiest to configure smtp server for outbound messages?
[07:50] <komputes> ugur: that is the error i get not the "not mounted error" - but i think this may be what makes it bootable - let me check
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: dos it show up in other apps like wifi-radar?
[07:51] <LLStarks> tail: cannot open `/home/eric/libass-0.9.8/debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory
[07:51] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, no but it shows up in the device list
[07:51] <azlon> where are programs normally installed?
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: ok and does: sudo iwlist scan     show APs?
[07:51] <Innomen> i should say i dont know i havent tried wifi radr i'mnot even sur ei have it installed
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> azlon: all over the place on your system
[07:51] <lstarnes> azlon: in various locations, usually under /usr
[07:52] <snxdp2> hi. pretty new to ubuntu/linux, so i have a question regarding anti virus.
[07:52] <Innomen> again, don't know, i'll check, its booting and doing a drive scane (i let them finish)
[07:52] <glick> excuse me whats the first username in phpmyadmin?
[07:52] <Boohbah> glick: root
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> azlon: their in no single foldr for each app as it is hugely inefficient. The libs that make one app work may and often do benefit other so will be stored in /lib  the launching binary will be stored in /usr/bin most likely
[07:52] <losher> reenignEesreveR: if you mean an smtp client, I use ssmtp. It uses 8 lines of config.
[07:52] <glick> sweet thanks Boohbah
[07:53] <Lord_Devi> glick: phpmyadmin doesn't actually have users of it's own. It'll let you login with already existing mysql users. So like Boohbah says, root.
[07:53] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, assuming it did or did not? i'm just curious what would cause that type of thing
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: well i the cli scan doesnt work then you dont have a driver installed
[07:53] <reenignEesreveR> losher: smtp server i believe ... other programs would be sending email through it
[07:53] <sub[t]rnl> !antivirus > snxdp2
[07:54] <d0wn> snxdp2: antivirus software isn't as needed nearly as much as Windows needs. don't get me wrong, malicious software can and does exist for Linux, but you shouldn't have to worry about scanning all the time. if you are still interested in running an antivirus, look into ClamAV
[07:54] <ice_cream> hi, i read somewhere about a boot option  acpi_osi  but cant seem to find it in ubuntu.com documentation on Boot Options.. trying to force my computer to recognize that it is a linux system (and this could solve my cpu scaling probs)
[07:54] <losher> reenignEesreveR: oh, it's kindof both server & client. Do you have an always-on network connection?
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> azlon: there is a distro that tries to mimick the file structure of windows but its fairly pointless and involves a tonne of symlinks from what i remember
[07:54] <reenignEesreveR> losher, yes i wanna set it up on my production server
[07:54] <Innomen> ActionParsnip,  you mean drive in some non wrapper sense of the word, which makes the answer a lot more complicated than thequestion, oky, ythanksi'll come back if the madwifi thing fails to solve it
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: the driver makes the hardware work with the OS. If you dont have the driver, the OS cannot communicat with the hardware
[07:55] <ugur> komputes: i installed a CLI program called testdisk from the repo and it says disk info is wrong in the MBR
[07:55] <komputes> ugur: do not use sdb1 in the dd command
[07:55] <ugur> komputes: Warning: Incorrect number of heads/cylinder 64 (FAT) != 63 (HD)
[07:55] <ugur> Warning: Incorrect number of sectors per track 32 (FAT) != 62 (HD)
[07:56] <ugur> komputes: no i dont use sdb1
[07:56] <komputes> ugur: if you specify sdb1 it will only create a file under /dev
[07:56] <komputes> ugur: just use sdb and live with the fact that it is a 1GB image, was fsck able to repair it?
[07:56] <ugur> komputes: i think it is because of the mbr written in the img it is taken from a 1GB drive
[07:56] <losher> reenignEesreveR: ssmtp is very simple to setup. It's good for always-connected machines, but not for machines which are only intermittently connected like laptops. It sends all mail to a smart hub somewhere. Mine sends everything to my ISP. Let me know if you want to see a sample config
[07:57] <komputes> ugur: keep in mind this disk is only meant to be used for installation/recovery/livecd
[07:57] <reenignEesreveR> losher, thanks. I'm googling for it now :)
[07:57] <komputes> ugur: yes exactly
[07:57] <MindVirus> How do I disable tap-to-click, anyone?
[07:57] <simulation> hello do u know any whois utility like ubuntus whois for windows ?
[07:58] <simulation> i love ubuntu's whois utility but im using windows now :S
[07:58] <ugur> komputes: yes i see but i was thinking of copying windows xp installation files after booting with this and then install ubuntu on top of windows
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> simulation: i'd ask in ##windows
[07:58] <simulation> ok ActionParsnip thx
[07:58] <ugur> komputes: but you are right i will do this with another live installation iso i think ubuntu iso will work
[07:59] <komputes> ugur: worth a try
[07:59] <komputes> ugur: you can also use usb-creator to take an iso and transfer it to usb
[07:59] <ugur> komputes: img is a little more low level than iso i guess
[07:59] <ugur> komputes: i have unetbootin and works like a charm
[07:59] <komputes> ugur: usb-creator has an option to create a partition for files - perfect for live cd
[08:00] <ugur> komputes: hmm interesting i will try that also
[08:00] <komputes> ugur: in 9.04 usb creator is System > Administration > Make USB disk
[08:00] <komputes> ugur: i recommend it
[08:00] <komputes> good night all
[08:02] <losher> MindVirus: somewhere in that mess of menus is something that configures the touchpad. I can't recall if it's Administration -> Mouse or something, as I dont have my laptop with me. Poke around and see if you can find it. I also recall something about a package specifically for the synaptics touchpad. Sorry to be so vague...
[08:02] <gonzalo> hiall
[08:02] <gonzalo> someoe using karmik koala alph4?
[08:02] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, (driver thing) yea i figured i just kind of thought of drivers as a windows thing, i have no idea how ubuntu works under the hood heheh
[08:03] <MindVirus> losher: System->Preferences->Mouse and ->Touchpad both fail.
[08:03] <MindVirus> They both enable the touchpad if I want them to but not tap-to-click.
[08:03] <Innomen> ActionParsnip,  i have madwifi tools installed now cant seewhat good it did :/
[08:04] <dragonrigs> hi
[08:04] <dragonrigs> everyone
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: then run: sudo lshw -C network and websearch from that
[08:04] <losher> MindVirus: google it. Depending on your release, there was a bug (something to do with Share memory in X11) and there was a workaround....
[08:04] <azlon> is there any program to stream live tv? i am stationed in Kuwait but want to watch some sort of news channel like Fox News or CNN
[08:04] <MindVirus> losher: I have been Googling for the past 48 hours.
[08:04] <exapid> Can't you just stream your videos through firefox?
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: try a different search engine, different search algrithm, different results
[08:05] <losher> MindVirus: sorry to hear that, but you've now heard everything I know about the issue...
[08:05] <MindVirus> ActionParsnip: I was hoping that maybe someone here could help.
[08:06] <MindVirus> Talking to a search engine feels like talking to a while.
[08:06] <losher> ActionParsnip: apparently 'bing' solves world hunger while it searches...
[08:06] <MindVirus> You can do it for awhile but eventually you get bored.
[08:06] <dragonrigs> does anyone know how to config a reliance netconnect ZITE modem on ubuntu 9.04 thank you
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: well you have only used a single search engine
[08:06] <MindVirus> Different-colored walls, man.
[08:06] <MindVirus> I will reluctantly use another.
[08:06] <prince_jammys> hah
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: or you can ask later in the day, different users with different knowledge again
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: there are more search engines than google yuo know
[08:07] <MindVirus> ActionParsnip: Google is the only one I love.
[08:07] <prince_jammys> just google for them.
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: well its not cutting it right now so others may prove better
[08:07] <MindVirus> I actually ask in this channel at prime intervals.
[08:07] <MindVirus> To maximize the amount of people I reach.
[08:07] <CyberJack77> Hi, does anybody know if Ubuntu supports displayport? I need to connect a second screen to my pc and I have a free Displayport. If it's not supported I don't need to buy a special cable.
[08:07] <dragonrigs> does anyone know how to config a reliance netconnect ZITE modem on ubuntu 9.04 thank you

[08:09] <aaron11> indus can you help
[08:09] <innomen2> ActionParsnip, the command you gave me shows the card
[08:09] <MikeSeth> NewBiew: is your friend running his own dns server?
[08:09] <Guest61690> I installed GL-117 how can i access it
[08:09] <losher> MindVirus: it's midnight here in California. The east coasters have been in bed for hours and the west coasters are all taking their ambien about now. I wouldn't call this prime time...
[08:09] <innomen2> it says "disabled" in bold print towards the bottom
[08:10] <aaron11> indus configuring a reliance netconnect ZITE modem on ubuntu
[08:10] <MindVirus> losher: prime meaning prime number.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> innomen2: i know, if you websearch the line that is detailed in the product line you will turn up something
[08:10] <MindVirus> losher: I am an east-coaster.
[08:10]  * NoCode is an east coaster. Still up. :)
[08:10] <MindVirus> That's why you see me on this channel at suuch odd hours of the day.
[08:10] <aaron11> does anyone know how to config a reliance netconnect ZITE modem on ubuntu 9.04 thank you
[08:10] <MindVirus> *such
[08:10] <prince_jammys> MindVirus: me too, but i don't have gnome
[08:10] <losher> NoCode: insomniac...
[08:10] <NewBiew> i dunno, his just registering his domain with domain registar MikeSeth
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> aaron11: is it usb?
[08:10] <NoCode> yep
[08:10] <aaron11> yes
[08:10] <prince_jammys> MindVirus: in about a minute, i looks like it will be prime number time.
[08:10] <Guest61690> I installed gl - 117 flight simulator, so where can i access it
[08:10] <innomen2> heh thats why i'm here, what i found tld me to install madwifi
[08:11] <innomen2> and i cant because all the commands assume i have conneciton to the internet :P
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> aaron11: then run: lsusb     one line will identify the modem with an 8 character hex id code. web search for that
[08:11] <aaron11> actionpartnership u know its portable right
[08:11] <MindVirus> prince_jammys: 311 was one of my favorite primes; I used to use it to test insecure semiprimes.
[08:11] <Guest61690> in preferances its not appear
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> aaron11: i dont care. if its usb it will give an id code
[08:11] <innomen2> so madwifi tools is not mad wifi
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> innomen2: if your card does not use madwifi drivers then you need to find what it does use
[08:12] <prince_jammys> MindVirus: make a wish!
[08:12] <Guest61690> how can i find out installed software (GL-117 flight simulator )
[08:12] <MindVirus> For this damn touchpad to stop tap-clicking!
[08:12] <aaron11> actionpartnership ive tried that but i dont know what to do with it
[08:12] <Lord_Devi> MindVirus: You can just turn that off under mouse options. (In Gnome at least)
[08:12] <losher> MindVirus: what os release are you running, btw?
[08:13] <Guest61690> anybody know how to access intalled software in ubuntu 9
[08:13] <MindVirus> Lord_Devi: it doesn't work.
[08:13] <Lord_Devi> Drives me crazy on my Dell laptop too. I Have to keep that touchpad clicking off
[08:13] <MindVirus> losher: 9.04.
[08:13] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, it does use them
[08:13] <Lord_Devi> MindVirus: You poor fellow! Oh.. Mine is 9.04 too.. it's gnome though like i already mentioned..
[08:13] <Innomen> its a dlink dwa 552 i'm getting this from the ubuntu forums
[08:13] <losher> MindVirus: a bug-ridden fleabag of a release...
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: ok what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep product
[08:13] <aaron11> actionpartnership ive tried idea and it works but we dont renew ownership on it
[08:13] <Innomen> the madwifi page just hands me a tar and says good luck
[08:13] <MindVirus> losher: will 9.10 help?
[08:13] <Guest61690> Innomen, do u know how to access installed software
[08:14] <MindVirus> Lord_Devi: I'm on GNOME too.
[08:14] <Innomen> http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1238586

[08:14] <Guest61690> Mindvirus do u know how to access intalled software in ubuntu 9
[08:14] <MindVirus> Do I know how to access installed software?
[08:14] <prince_jammys> losher: ditto.
[08:14] <MindVirus> I am the proud owner of that knowledge.
[08:14] <Innomen> Innomen, define "access"
[08:14] <Innomen> grrr
[08:15]  * prince_jammys smacks jaunty
[08:15] <Innomen> Guest61690, define access
[08:15] <aaron11> innomen /ignore
[08:15] <MindVirus> Innomen: it is safe to assume "access" means "run".
[08:15] <Innomen> MindVirus, well then yea i know how ot run software :P
[08:16] <MindVirus> Innomen: yes. It is fairly obvious Guest61690 doesn't know how to run installed software.
[08:16] <MindVirus> I think.
[08:16] <MindVirus> (Right, Guest61690?)
[08:16] <Innomen> oh oh he was asking me

[08:19] <aaron11> mindvirus libtech ok lets leave him alone
[08:19] <indus> whats the problem
[08:19] <MindVirus> aaron11: Do you tag-team to annoy people?

[08:20] <nikesh> how to install printer on jaunty with lan?
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: the page you gave me has the method....
[08:20] <Guest61690> add/remove progamme
[08:20] <b3rz3rk3r> panfist, anything after the original causes problems it seems, some ppl say to change your accelration options should be set to emulation
[08:20] <_tj> anyone good with themes? Im trying to install a theme... http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/willibex?content=86844 but i dont get the little menu bar at the bottom.. i got the colors installed and everything by dragging the .tar.gz into the theme manager... but not the bottom bar thinggy
[08:21] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, yea and it says to download from the svn :)
[08:21] <indus> Guest61690: check in menu>aplications>games
[08:21] <Innomen> i dont know how to translate those instructons for offline use
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: then use the svn, that part is included in the guide
[08:21] <MindVirus> aaron11: so you know, I will be watching what you say. I won't you get away with anything. :) That is, unless you tell me exactly what I did.
[08:21] <Innomen> ActionParsnip, look man i dont know what that means, i've only ever compiled one thing before and i thought avn was an online archive of source
[08:21] <Kassiane> Has anyone else had an issue where their wireless just stops working? for some reason it's stopped working with my router.
[08:21] <Innomen> svn*
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: you dont have to, its step by step instructions for the terminal
[08:22] <Innomen> what do i do with the tar file?
[08:22] <MindVirus> aaron11: your choice. Your name is now highlighted in my client.
[08:22] <indus> Guest61690: or from a terminal type the name of the program
[08:22] <b3rz3rk3r> panfist, in wine i mean, if you didnt get that
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: sure, just use a wired connection til you get on your feet
[08:22] <oldude67> indus, i have already told him that twice.maybe he will listen to you this time.
[08:22] <losher> MindVirus: tried this lot? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168581
[08:23] <innomen3> ActionParsnip, those instructions make no mention of a tar file
[08:23] <panfist> b3rz3rk3r do you mean audio acceleration because i turned audio off completely
[08:23] <b3rz3rk3r> panfist, no, graphical
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> innomen2: i know. you dont need it, the svn will download the source for you
[08:23] <indus> Guest61690: open main menu>applications>gamename
[08:23] <panfist> "emulate a virtual desktop" ?
[08:23] <innomen3> ActionParsnip, lmao and the machine in question has no internet :)
[08:24] <NeXstaR> good morning everyone...
[08:24] <indus> !patience
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> innomen3: or you can webbrowse on how to use the tar.gz and found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-113405.html
[08:24] <innomen3> ...so if i wantot go to warthat makes me insane but if i wantot stay on the ground clearly i'm sane and so i have to goto war
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> innomen3: like i said, use a wired connection til you get on your feet
[08:24] <oldude67> innomen3, down load it on the one you are on now and put it on a flashdrive and transfer it.:D
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> innomen3: its much easier if you use the wired option
[08:25] <MindVirus> losher: checking it out right now.
[08:25] <NeXstaR> can someone1 please give me the process on how to upgrade from virtualbox-ose to virtualbox-3.0 , i already downloaded the 3.0 package from sun microsystems etc...
[08:25] <innomen3> ActionParsnip, the modem is next door, we own all three houses my friend is sleeping in the room in question plus i dont have 400 feet of cat 5 plus GVD would wipe out my machine
[08:25] <b3rz3rk3r> panfist, check out the bottom of this page.. it has a HOW-TO on it: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3126
[08:26] <innomen3> oldude67, thats what i've been trying to do since i got her, but madwifi has no deb and i dont know how to compile this tar file
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> innomen3: is it a laptop?
[08:26] <innomen3> ActionParsnip, nope
[08:26] <oldude67> !tar
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> innomen3: then you can use ndiswrapper + windows driver to install wifi and download the proper driver and compile it
[08:26] <innomen3> oldude67, yea i know that its just a zip with a bunch of code in it but i dont know the command to turn it into something useful
[08:27] <innomen3> ActionParsnip, tried that the wrapper says its installed but still nothing shows up in net manager (exact problem as giuy in forum which was solved by madwifi which is what brought me here )
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> innomen3: did you read the README in the extracted code. you will need to install build-essential from your install CD
[08:27] <innomen3> the solution is either A> deb of madwifi, B. instruciton on what to do with the madwifi tar
[08:28] <innomen3> ActionParsnip, i have build essentionals and everything installed i saw no readme, where would it be?
[08:28] <innomen3> the madwifi page just kind of assumes i know what to do with the tar file so i gather its extremely basic
[08:28] <NeXstaR> can some1 please give me the process on how to upgrade from virtualbox-ose to virtualbox-3.0 , i already downloaded the 3.0 package from sun microsystems etc...
[08:28] <oldude67> Innomen, Type tar -zxvf yourfile.tar.gz to extract the file to the current directory.
[08:28] <osp> Hi, i'm not able to start apache on 8.04 LTS... checked ipcs, configs, error logs etc
[08:28] <innomen3> oldude67, right which gives me a bunch of code, now what?
[08:29] <osp> apache pid file is not getting created... any idea.. it stopped working after an upgrade
[08:29] <innomen3> its not lke i can just type setup
[08:29] <innomen3> or can i
[08:29] <innomen3> lol
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> innomen3: i dont know. I dont know the contents of the archive you have intimately, if you read the file names you may come across something useful
[08:29] <prince_jammys> innomen3: does it come with a README or INSTALL file to look at?
[08:29] <oldude67> no then you have to go to the read me file and see what it says.
[08:29] <innomen3> a readme WITHIN the tar file
[08:30] <oldude67> yes
[08:30] <innomen3> well, i'll just go check
[08:30] <prince_jammys> yes, read that.
[08:30] <innomen3> thats the bit of assumed knowleged
[08:30] <jcmarini> gidday from oz
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> innomen3: setup is what windows uses and is not applicable here as you are using source and not binary. also setup.exe will NEVER exist in linux as the file strucure between distroc can vary so wildly
[08:30] <prince_jammys> innomen3: knowledge you now have forever ;)
[08:30] <innomen3> prince_jammys, knowleged that should be in the !tar command and should be noted on every page that uses them :P
[08:30] <innomen3> brb guys thanks much
[08:31] <oldude67> Innomen, read the man pages it helps.
[08:31] <prince_jammys> innomen3: well, it's only in tarballs and such that contain source to install.
[08:31] <prince_jammys> man tar ain't gonna tell you about that.
[08:31] <oldude67> no but it does explain a lot tho.

[08:37] <prince_jammys> !info cuetools | tim__b how about this?
[08:38] <tim__b> prince_jammys, i need a tool to load my wave file in to set simple points where a new track starts.
[08:38] <tim__b> cuetools doesnt feature an editor as well :(
[08:38] <dethray> How do I find my root window id using xprop?
[08:38] <prince_jammys> tim__b: well, i see you've searched already
[08:39] <prince_jammys> tim__b: and since i don't know a thing about cue, i'll shut up.
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> dethray: the root window is always 0:0
[08:39] <tim__b> thanks anyway, prince_jammys :)
[08:39] <prince_jammys> welcome
[08:39] <dethray> Thanx, ActionParsnip
[08:40] <prince_jammys> tim__b: i've done that so many times too, but always "by hand" (splitting the files)
[08:40] <tim__b> prince_jammys, seems like there's no way around splitting (except for using wine+some windows softwrae)

[08:41] <Innomen4> ActionParsnip, sudo rmmod ndis wrapper first said segmentaiton fault and then said device or resource busy (i tinki mstyped it the first time)
[08:42] <shreymech> hello every body .. i am new to linux(having unbuntu 8.10) .. i need to install one package.. so can any one go through this link and help me in the installation.. plzzzz    http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/doc/README.html#Qt
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Innomen4: its all 1 word: ndiswrapper
[08:42] <prince_jammys> tim__b: yeah, maybe get something not in the repos. i should check it out myself.
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Innomen4: you cant go adding random spaces if the whim takes you
[08:42] <Innomen4> hehehno i know i didnt add the space when i actually typed it that was just a typo right now heehh
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> hilarious
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> ok then blacklist the module and reboot
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> !blacklist
[08:43] <Administrator> ActionParsnip, it says the resource is busy
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: add ndiswrapper to the blacklist and reboot, it will not be loaded
[08:45] <innomen5> ahh ok
[08:45] <innomen5> can i just uninstall it? is that possible/ will that work?
[08:45] <shreymech> pllzzz help me
[08:45] <shreymech> hello every body .. i am new to linux(having unbuntu 8.10) .. i need to install one package.. so can any one go through this link and help me in the installation.. plzzzz    http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/doc/README.html#Qt
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: that will work also, yes
[08:45] <innomen5> cool brb
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> shreymech: if you add this line to /etc/apt/sources.lst    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cae-team/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
[08:48] <shreymech> ActionParsnip: than...???
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> shreymech: then you can use apt-get to install openfoam 1.5.1
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> !info openfoam
[08:48] <shreymech> ActionParsnip: but i have downloaded the latest 106 version
[08:48] <shreymech> 1.6
[08:48] <indus> shreymech: or use easy gui way, add that line to third party in synaptic>repositories
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> shreymech: then find a repo with it on
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> shreymech: whats different in 1.6?
[08:49] <shreymech> ActionParsnip:its not that much buggy as the 1.5 is .. i think
[08:50] <mralexandro> ActionParsnip: i followed the link you gave me, but just to clarify, is that a older driver for my netbook. and the rollback procedure, will that install the driver that i had before i installed this "rollbak" driver?
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> shreymech: i'd check whats new. If its something you dont need then the ppa will do you. either that or you are going to have to find a different ppa or compile the app
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> mralexandro: some folks have found a better performance with the older intel driver
[08:50] <Newbuntu2> hello

[08:53] <Newbuntu2> Is it possible to the the CLI on a small LCD, as in 4x20 or even 256x64? I'd like to use it instead of a full-blown screen on a car pc (with wireless keyboard)

[08:54] <nokturna83> I know this isn't ubuntu related..but would anyone have any idea how to "unlock" a harddrive?
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> !ot | nokturna83:
[08:56] <innomen5> innomen@Mercy:~$ sudo modprobe ath9k
[08:56] <innomen5> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> shreymech: it all means nothing to me. I suggest you ise the 1.5 in the repo i gave you
[08:57] <shreymech> ActionParsnip, it doen't matter if i have intrepid
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: the file needs a .conf ending
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> shreymech: then change the word jaunty to intrepid
[08:57] <shreymech> ActionParsnip, you have given a jaunty repo
[08:57] <shreymech> okkk
[08:57] <_polto_> is n't it possible to specify umask while mounting NFS share ?
[08:58] <innomen5> ath9k.conf instead of ath9k?
[08:59] <_polto_> mount.nfs say "an incorrect mount option was specified" on -o umask=0000
[08:59] <prince_jammys> innomen5: you can probably ignore that warning, i think.
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: if you READ the error it is referencing /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrappe
[08:59] <tim__b> prince_jammys, qep will not do the deal, as there's no preview possibility, but i found http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Cue_sheets which's the way i will go, as i'm already recording my tapes using audacity.
[08:59] <innomen5> ActionParsnip, yea i READ the error, look if you think i'm a moron and you're wasting your time, don't help ne, it's cool man
[08:59] <prince_jammys> tim__b: ok, i'll remember that next time i need that, thanks.
[09:00] <innomen5> prince_jammys, ahh so whatever the command was supposed ot accomplish was accomplished then?
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: well you gave me an error then start talking about someother file, it doesnt make sense
[09:00] <prince_jammys> possibly.
[09:00] <prince_jammys> Warnings are warnings after all
[09:00] <innomen5> ActionParsnip, i pasted you the exact error it gave me in responce ot the command you gave me to type (sudo modprobe ath9k)
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: yes and the error which was outputted stated a specific filename needs the extension
[09:01] <innomen5> ActionParsnip, then you told me something vague about some "file" need a .conf i dont see a spesific filename i see a directory
[09:02] <_polto_> should umask option work with NFS ?
[09:02] <_polto_> because currently it does not..
[09:02] <NeXstaR> how do one ping in linux jaunty to obtain ur ip addy ?
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: all the files in /etc/modprobe.d are files
[09:03] <innomen5> i dont even know what it tried ot do, you're not explaining what i'm doing you're just giving me orders (which is fine) but dont get mad at me when i have no idea what i'm doing :P
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: i just hate when people only look at the screen but dont read, there is a difference
[09:03] <eshat> Hi all,... I want to capture my webcam and speaker output, easiest way to do that ? I would prefere GUI tools...
[09:03] <innomen5> ok, so the directory mentioned has files, cool
[09:04] <innomen5> ActionParsnip, well i can read pretty fast, so i read it, i just wasnt born with this knowleged in my head like a bee knowing how to fly :)
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: sudo mv  /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper  /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
[09:04] <innomen5> it makesno sense ot me, like if i were ot say biscuit ninja purple pants is my favorite dragon of the penny
[09:04] <innomen5> you'd be like WTF
[09:04] <innomen5> :P
[09:04] <innomen5> i'll go paste that command which looks ot bemoveing something
[09:05] <prince_jammys> you're renaming the file to samefile.conf
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: nice randomness. i applaud :)
[09:05] <prince_jammys> teenage mutant ninja turtes
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> prince_jammys: indeed
[09:05] <innomen5> prince_jammys, ahh excellent
[09:05] <syntax> is it better to use the restricted drivers for the ati graphics card or from ati.com
[09:05] <innomen5> question before i go why is there a ndiswrapper issue still, i uninstalled it?
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> syntax: if you want good 3D performance, yes. if you just want a smooth desktop then the open one will be fine
[09:06] <irc_irc> what's the command to clean cache?
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> innomen5: if its uneeded then sure
[09:06] <mralexandro> does anyone know of any tool for gtk_window_decorator that wil help you set transparent "color" in folders. so that they are transparent straight trough?
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: which cache?
[09:06] <syntax> ok thx
[09:06] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: where downloading pacakages remain
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: sudo apt-get clean
[09:07] <innomen5> ActionParsnip, no i'm saying i did uninstallit and the error mention a folder named wrapper, no biggie i'll brb
[09:07] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: it seems , nothing happens
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: in linux, no news is good new
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> s
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: you dont get an 'ok' message after every command that passes, its redundant
[09:08] <Truereaver360> hi all
[09:08] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: thank you
[09:08] <Truereaver360> please help me, how can i move the close icons from the left back to the right????
[09:09] <syntax> is there a way to clear ram on ubuntu or does sudo apt-get clean work?
[09:09] <howard> hi
[09:09] <eshat> syntax: apt-get has nothing to do with ram...
[09:10] <syntax> so how could i clear my ram on ubuntu eshat?\
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> syntax: apt-get clean clears out the deb files that get stored after download when you use apt-get or synaptic etc
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> syntax: you can use; sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[09:11] <innomen5> ActionParsnip, ok mod probe completed (i guess)
[09:11] <prince_jammys> innomen5: seems that the ndiswrapper config file hung around, and then you got a warning about it because it doesn't end it .conf
[09:11] <innomen5> prince_jammys, noted
[09:11] <Truereaver360> i used mac4lin theme and found that the window icons moved left, after i changed theme back the window icons stayed there how o i chance them back????
[09:12] <syntax> ActionParsnip: Permission denied
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> syntax: hmm, works here, did you use sudo?
[09:13] <NetEcho> Truereaver360 grab the 0.4 documentation and look at the part about gconf-editor
[09:13] <syntax> yea
[09:13] <syntax> ActionParsnip: yea
[09:13] <Truereaver360> ok
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> syntax: strange indeed
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> syntax: i have that in a script and works great
[09:14] <syntax> ActionParsnip: whats a way around it to do sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches if sudo isnt working
[09:14] <Truereaver360> ok as you might have guess im a noob at this, where can i find that?
[09:14] <innomen> ok one the modprobe ath9k thing is complete what now? (i rebooted and attempted ot connect ot the net, no dice
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> syntax: then you have issues
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> syntax: can you run:   sudo -i
[09:14] <innomen> wicd still acts like i have no network cards
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> innomen: you can check stuff with: lsmod | grep ndis; sleep 2; clear; lsmod | grep ath
[09:15] <innomen> alright
[09:17] <lsbrum> ActionParsnip: lsmod | egrep "ndis|ath" =]
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> lsbrum: that'll do it. nice :D
[09:18] <pretender> when i play back me-tv recordings mpeg in vlc I get no sound.  However Avidemux plays them fine
[09:18] <blackest_knight1> which channel should i be in for karmic?
[09:19] <DJones> blackest_knight1: #ubuntu+1 is for karmic
[09:19] <innomen> ActionParsnip, lsmod grep ath returned no results, just acted like when i typed modprobe
[09:19] <NeXstaR> can some1 please shed some light on my problem? i have openoffice.org 3.0 , how do i update it to 3.1 , i already downloaded the files etc...
[09:19] <blackest_knight1> thanks
[09:19] <pretender> seems to be working now
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> innomen: ok then neither modeule is loaded
[09:19] <innomen> ndiswrapper waslike 0 and then sevreal number but it cleared
[09:20] <innomen> so what signifigance does that have?
[09:20] <lsbrum> NeXstaR: sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[09:20] <innomen> neither ndsiwrapper or ath9k are touching the card?
[09:21] <lsbrum> innomen: Atheros Card?
[09:21] <innomen> lsbrum, yes
[09:21] <innomen> dwa-552
[09:21] <Gioggio76> Ciao a tutti...
[09:21] <indus> ciao
[09:22] <Truereaver360> AAGGGHHH help gettin frustrated, i cant find hw to move window close icons from left to right!!!!
[09:22] <innomen> lsbrum, product: AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter
[09:22] <Gioggio76> Buongiorno, ho bisogno di aiuto per ubuntu...
[09:22] <GilJ> Hey Guys, is there a place where I can download the CD installer instead of the DVD Installer? I read on the forums that that's where my hardware (keyboard/mouse) problems are from.
[09:23] <lsbrum> innomen: My card is Atheros AR5001+
[09:23] <NetEcho> Truereaver360 as I said read the documentation
[09:23] <NetEcho> the setting is in gconf-editor its very simple to change
[09:23] <innomen> lsbrum, i shiuld have bought that one :P
[09:23] <NetEcho> but you need to mac4lin 0.4 documentation to show you
[09:23] <lsbrum> innomen: This is quite buggy card, do you know?
[09:23] <Truereaver360> sorry pal where is that
[09:23] <lsbrum> innomen: Ad-Hoc is very hard with this card.
[09:24] <innomen> lsbrum, yea i know now, thing is the people here toldme to buy it said it would work outofthe box etc *sigh* like 5 people, guess they were pranking me or something heheh
[09:24] <innomen> well i cant even get the netmanager ot see it
[09:24] <innomen> so you've got me beat
[09:24] <DJones> GilJ: You can download the livecd from www.ubuntu.com, just click on the download button, chose a location and then begin download, the default is to download the cd installer
[09:25] <innomen> this is enough to make one go back ot windows
[09:25] <GilJ> DJones Oh I had that one... guess that forum post is wrong :(
[09:25] <eshat> How do I record speaker outpur ?
[09:25] <lsbrum> innomen: Try ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-gtk or similar with Windows XP *.inf driver, or ath9k...
[09:25] <GilJ> DJones When I try installing I can select the "Install Ubuntu" line in the menu, but when i get to the actual installer my keyboard/touchpad don't work anymore :/ Got a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop
[09:25]  * innomen smiles
[09:26] <innomen> lsbrum, been doing that all night brother, i have ath9k but i dont know how to tell it to make use of the card, the machine sees the card its just not doing anything with it
[09:26] <innomen> i just uninstalled ndiswrapper making room for ath9k
[09:27] <innomen> see i got banned form the forums for asking a queston like this "where can i find a listof known supported out ofthebox cards"
[09:27] <DJones> GilJ: You could try using the alternate install cd, that has a command line based installer and works with a wider range of hardware, there's a link on the download page near the bottom on the right to download the "Text based alternate installer installation disk"
[09:27] <lsbrum> innomen: With sudo modprobe ath9k you see any results?
[09:27] <DJones> !alternate | GilJ
[09:27] <GilJ> DJones Oh cool thanks
[09:27] <lsbrum> innomen: hahahah
[09:27] <innomen> lsbrum, none, i dont even know what that command does
[09:27] <NeXstaR> sudo apt-get upgrade openoffice.org does nothing ;/
[09:27] <lsbrum> innomen: heh
[09:27] <lsbrum> innomen: Try this..
[09:28] <innomen> lsbrum, i mean i know i'm probing a mod :P
[09:28] <lsbrum> innomen: Then lsmod | grep ath
[09:28] <innomen> i did
[09:28] <innomen> no results
[09:28] <lsbrum> innomen: To see if the module load correctly
[09:28] <innomen> it has not
[09:28] <lsbrum> innomen: hummm
[09:28] <richardcavell> NeXstaR: are you expecting it to?
[09:28] <odonata> would it be possible to have something similar to a permanent ssh-tunnel up?
[09:28] <innomen> how can i load it?
[09:28] <Pythack> Hello.
[09:29] <lsbrum> innomen: find /lib -iname "*ath9k*"
[09:29] <lsbrum> innomen: To find this module..
[09:29] <innomen> ok
[09:29] <innomen> and when i find it if i find it?
[09:29] <NeXstaR> richardcavell: im trying to upgrade my existing openoffice 3.0 to 3.1
[09:29] <lsbrum> innomen: Or you can try: sudo modprobe ath_pci
[09:30] <GilJ> DJones So I just download the i368 alternate installer? :)
[09:30] <innomen> modprobe dosentactually do anything though right its just a dianostic command yes?
[09:30] <lsbrum> innomen: insmod /path/to/module
[09:30] <_tj> to put xfce instead of gnome i do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:30] <_tj> right?
[09:30] <richardcavell> NeXstaR: you don't do it like that
[09:30] <lsbrum> innomen: modprobe load the module, see man modprobe for more info.
[09:30] <innomen> insmod, install mod
[09:30] <ubunuser1979> noobuntubu
[09:30] <lsbrum> innomen: maybe, hahahaha
[09:31] <innomen> oky thanky i'll come back with more problems shortly :)
[09:31] <MikeSeth> insmod is actually insert module, not install
[09:31] <sayanriju> NeXstaR, http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/175/upgrade-to-open-office-3-1-in-ubuntu-jaunty-intrepid-hardy
[09:31] <innomen> close :P
[09:31] <lsbrum> innomen: be welcome, i am new here :P
[09:31] <ubunuser1979> noobuntubu
[09:31] <lsbrum> MikeSeth: You're right.
[09:31] <richardcavell> NeXstaR: sudo apt-get upgrade does something different
[09:32] <lsbrum> MikeSeth: I think this command is depreciated, or no?
[09:32] <Pythack> What is noobuntubu?
[09:32] <zophy> does ubuntu have an employee discount ?
[09:32] <ubunuser1979> srry wrong window
[09:32] <Flannel> ubunuser1979: Is there something we can help you with today?
[09:32] <Flannel> zophy: 50% off for employees, yes, from $0 down to $0.
[09:32] <MikeSeth> lsbrum: no, it's just not intended for end user, there's modprobe(1) for that
[09:33] <MikeSeth> well modprobe(8) actually
[09:33] <lsbrum> humm
[09:33] <DJones> GilJ: Yes, I would just download the "PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD"
[09:33] <NeXstaR> sayanriju: thanks i wil go read there
[09:34] <sayanriju> NeXstaR, another link: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-1-on-Ubuntu-9-04-111105.shtml

[09:45] <sayanriju> MikeSeth, +1 with that! :P
[09:45] <Noobuntu> sayan: yes windows XP running that now
[09:46] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, is it an external disk or internal?
[09:46] <MikeSeth> sayanriju: damn right
[09:46] <sayanriju> and how do you know that "it doesnt recognize my SATA drive"?
[09:46] <Noobuntu> sayan: internal
[09:47] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, you trying to _install_ ubuntu on it?
[09:47] <Noobuntu> becuz during the installation it didnt give me that one as an option to partition and proceed
[09:48] <Noobuntu> yes trying to install 9.04 on it
[09:48] <sayanriju> any other disks connected? If yes, try to remove them, and keep only that one.
[09:48] <indus> Noobuntu: seagate disk?
[09:48] <innomen> lsbrum, said unknown symbol in module (and my jump drive died yay)
[09:50] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, while on the live CD, check o/p of sudo fdisk -l
[09:52] <roshan> Hi, everyone, I'm trying to mirror the Ubuntu amd64 repositories. I want to download the repositories and then transfer them as they are to another computer which will host them. I don't want to host them on the same computer as I'm downloading them on.
[09:52] <roshan> I know of apt-mirror, debmirror and using rsync to mirror but I don't know which is the best for what I want to do.
[09:52] <roshan> Any suggestions?
[09:53] <sayanriju> roshan, depends on your purpose
[09:53] <Noobuntu> whoa sayan ya going to fast for my nooby brain to keep up ..lol but yea i went thru this whole ordeal with partitioning my xtrnl and I jsut got it back the way i want it. but while running the live CD i went thru the process again with my xtrnl off and on the step where you choose what drive no drives come up.
[09:53] <gammy> I would like to know why the c64 kernal rom is not included in the vice package. Is it due to a *lack of a license* ? I cant' find any information about this.
[09:54] <roshan> I intend to host these on a computer on my college LAN. However, the Internet access we have there is terribly slow so I have to go to an Internet café to do this. This is why I need to download them on one computer and host them on another.
[09:55] <roshan> I don't intend to mirror security, updates or backports
[09:55] <sayanriju> roshan, so you are looking for a sort of local repository for your LAN?
[09:55] <roshan> Yes, sayan
[09:56] <zophy> this ubuntu sweaty virgin distro really rocks
[09:56] <sayanriju> roshan, so rsync is not really what you'd be wanting
[09:56] <Noobuntu> did I lose you sayan? lol
[09:57] <roshan> Yes, I got that far but no farther.
[09:57] <jacquesdupontd> hi guys
[09:57] <Pythack> Hello jacquesdupontd.
[09:57] <jon_y_> hey, anybody have experience with cpudynd?
[09:57] <jacquesdupontd> i wanted to ask you if you would any software for making contact cards
[09:58] <jacquesdupontd> same size as credit cards
[09:58] <jon_y_> jacquesdupontd: inkscape?
[09:58] <CQ_> hello, I just ran blender, and lt looks very crappy, showing artefacts from the desktop, background, etc. ... any ideas? Other X server , ...?
[09:58] <jacquesdupontd> hehe
[09:58] <jacquesdupontd> i just downloaded it
[09:58] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, boot the live CD with just the disk u want connected, check o/p of fidsk and then fire up the installer
[09:58] <jacquesdupontd> but i have to relearn it all :(
[09:58] <GilJ> Meh, I can't use my keyboard in the alternate installer either :/
[09:59] <Ornita> hi mafinar :)
[09:59] <mafinar> hey Ornita
[09:59] <sayanriju> roshan, what /me'd do in such a situation is pull down all the packages from net on the cafe, carry them over to the college computer) and create a local repository from it
[09:59] <Ornita> roza korchen mafinar?
[10:00] <Pythack> Hello Ornita.
[10:00] <Ornita> Pythack hi
[10:00] <mafinar> na Ornita
[10:00] <Ornita> keno korchen na
[10:01] <Ornita> office korchen tai?
[10:01] <sayanriju> roshan, the only downside is the local repository won't really offer up-to-date updates like the official mirrors, but since ur college net is bad anyway, /me don't think that will be a problem
[10:01] <mafinar> Ornita i don't believe in those things!
[10:01] <GilJ> DJones Nop, alternate installer didn't fix it
[10:01] <Ornita> i forgot u dont believe in GOD
[10:01] <mafinar> no Ornita
[10:01] <Ornita> no higher bein for u
[10:01] <Ornita> lol
[10:02] <Flannel> Ornita: Please stop being offtopic, thanks
[10:02] <azlon> i am trying to setup a raid an the tutorial told me to run "sudo mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf" but when i do i get "bash: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf: Permission denied"... what should i do?
[10:02] <Ornita> Flannel do i have to tok abt ubunutu only?
[10:02] <roshan> sayanriju: This is the part I'm unsure about. I was wondering which of apt-mirror and debmirror to use since all documentation I can find regarding both dates back to 2006-7.
[10:03] <mafinar> read the guidelines Ornita
[10:03] <mafinar> :P
[10:03] <roshan> azlon: You can try switching to interactive mode in sudo by doing `sudo -i`
[10:03] <Ornita> mafinar i got a warning :~(
[10:03] <roshan> azlon: and then running `mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf`
[10:03] <Ornita> i jess came here
[10:03] <sayanriju> roshan, none of apt-mirror or debmirror will suit the purpose if you decide to follow my idea of creating a local repo
[10:03] <Ornita> i dont noe ny guide linez :@
[10:03] <NeXstaR> how do one install tar.gz files ?
[10:03] <roshan> sayanriju: I see, then how do I ensure I only download amd64 packages?
[10:03] <FieKrIE> can i meet female here?
[10:04] <Flannel> Ornita: Yes
[10:04] <Flannel> FieKrIE: No.  This channel is for Ubuntu support, not socializing.
[10:04] <azlon> roshan, that worked, thanks
[10:04] <Ornita> Flannel dats soo boorrin!
[10:04] <Ornita> Flannel how do u live here :P
[10:04] <roshan> azlon: No problem
[10:04] <Flannel> Ornita: Please take it elsewhere
[10:04] <irc_irc> is it possible to install ubuntu from 4gB pendrive, ? how to partition to 1GB and use unetbootin?
[10:05] <Ornita> mafinar pocha lok uni!
[10:05] <indus> lol
[10:05] <Ornita> hmph!
[10:05] <sayanriju> roshan, u can use any of those tools (including rsync) to just pull down the packages...but for the rest of the process none of them would be of much help
[10:05] <Ornita> mafinar u der?
[10:05] <mafinar> yup
[10:06] <indus> stay on topic or be kicked
[10:06] <indus> but i like the name ornita if its female
[10:06] <FieKrIE> hyyy flannel can i know you?
[10:06] <roshan> sayanriju: I see. Do you know of an existing script to simplify downloading all packages of a particular architecture?
[10:06] <Ornita> indus im female :)
[10:06] <szczym> helo, could you please tell me what i could do (im not a programer) to move forward Bug #263442 ?
[10:06] <Ornita> indus i wanna install ubunutu :)
[10:07] <indus> Ornita: ok
[10:07] <Ornita> but my pc is old!
[10:07] <indus> Ornita: do u have the cd with u ?
[10:07] <Ornita> nope
[10:07] <sayanriju> roshan, why not create your own? Shouldn't be much hard, using wget+sed :P
[10:07] <mafinar> brb..
[10:07] <indus> Ornita: for older pc's u should download xubuntu
[10:07] <Flannel> roshan: all of the packages?  You want to look into setting up a mirror
[10:07] <Ornita> my pc is 2.4ghz wid 512 ram indus
[10:07] <irc_irc> is it possible to install ubuntu from 4gB pendrive, ? how to partition to 1GB and use unetbootin?
[10:08] <Ornita> hmm
[10:08] <roshan> sayanriju: :) I could try that but considering I have no idea how to use sed, it would require me to learn quite a bit just to do one task.
[10:08] <indus> Ornita: ok 512 mb ram then normal ubuntu will install but it will be little slow
[10:08] <szczym> irc_irc: what for do you need to partition
[10:08] <irc_irc> how to partition a 4GB pendrive to install ubuntu?
[10:08] <Ornita> indus >.<
[10:08] <Flannel> irc_irc: You want to install to the USB drive? or install from it?
[10:08] <sayanriju> roshan, then just use apt-mirror to download the packages on your cafe machine. You can worry about the rest of process later
[10:08] <irc_irc> szczym: i want to keep data in 3gb and in 1gb to ubuntu unetbootin
[10:08] <soulchild> irc_irc: install ubuntu on that pendrive ?
[10:08] <Ornita> i want faster os!!

[10:09] <DJones> !usb | irc_irc
[10:09] <Flannel> FieKrIE: No.  This is a support channel, not a chat channel.
[10:09] <soulchild> Flannel: just talk with everybody
[10:09] <sayanriju> roshan, as it is, the rest (creating a local repo) is not very difficult
[10:09] <Ornita> indus xp is fast ..how com ubuntu will be slower on 512!
[10:09] <Ornita> hmph!
[10:09] <Ornita> i dont get it
[10:09] <roshan> Flannel: You're right, that is what I want to do.
[10:09] <indus> !download > Ornita please read this
[10:09] <Flannel> Ornita: You'll be fine with 512 and Ubuntu
[10:09] <roshan> sayanriju: I can just move over the repository files once it downloads?
[10:09] <Ornita> yay!
[10:09] <Ornita> Flannel lykz me :P
[10:09] <indus> Ornita: ya i said slower than with 1 gb

[10:10] <Ornita> i get it now
[10:10] <irc_irc> Flannel: soulchild: szczym: i want t to install ubuntu from 4gb pendrive, but i do not want to waste 3gb space from pendrive , i want to use only 1Gb from pendrive for unetbootin . is it possible ?
[10:10] <Ornita> i will download it n give it a try
[10:10] <indus> ok good lucks
[10:10] <sayanriju> roshan, yes, but make sure it downloads ALL the packages (don't interrupt it midway e.g)
[10:10] <Ornita> indus if it doesnt work! i will come n kill u :P
[10:10] <indus> Ornita: kill Flannel
[10:10] <Ornita> ohh yea!
[10:10] <DJones> Ornita: I use standard ubuntu on all my home machines, none of them have more than 512Mb of ram, it runs fine and no slower than on my work machine with 1gb ram
[10:10] <roshan> sayanriju: Very well, sayanriju. Thank you. I will use apt-mirror.
[10:11] <jon_y_> hey, I was able to use cpudyn to scale down 3 of 4 cpu frequency, the other just stays there even if I use powersave governor
[10:11] <Ornita> DJones thanks!!
[10:11] <Ornita> yay!
[10:11] <FieKrIE> flannel, can i talk with you????? please......!!!!!!!!

[10:11] <Ornita> DJones ubuntu can play mkv formats?
[10:11] <jon_y_> anybody knows cpudyn?
[10:11] <szczym> irc_irc: check out http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[10:11] <indus> Ornita: yes it does
[10:11] <Ornita> cool!
[10:11] <indus> Ornita: it will ask you to download codec necessary to play it
[10:12] <sayanriju> roshan, and in case you need help creating the local mirror, u can see my blog post at http://blog.sayanriju.co.cc/2009/07/31/using-a-local-ubuntu-repository-to-avoid-redownloading-packages-on-a-reinstall/ (shameless self advertising :)
[10:12] <FieKrIE> whats the topic..........????????
[10:12] <MadGirl> it has been said that the topic is there ^^^^
[10:12] <Ornita> indus dats cute!
[10:12] <indus> Ornita: for any type of non - free format
[10:12] <azlon> if i add "/dev/md0 /media/raid ntfs defaults 0 2" to my /etc/fstab file, will my raid automatically mount when i log in?
[10:12] <WinZ> Hi! How to fix the look of the file path in such case: http://i30.tinypic.com/ouprt2.jpg ? Is it because of Samba encoding parameters??
[10:12] <Flannel> irc_irc: new (since 8.04) Ubuntu's have a utility to set up a thumbdrive install thing, that's the easiest way to do it, just a few clicks.
[10:12] <Ornita> mafinar u der
[10:12] <indus> FieKrIE: this is ubuntu support channel, what question do you have?
[10:13] <roshan> sayanriju: What a useful coincidence that you posted on just that! Bookmarked for later.
[10:13] <roshan> Thanks.
[10:13] <irc_irc> Flannel: how to do it?
[10:13] <FieKrIE> indus: can i have ubuntu?
[10:14] <indus> FieKrIE: if you want
[10:14] <Flannel> irc_irc: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/
[10:14] <Flannel> irc_irc: That'll work for other versions too, it hasn't changed much, if any.
[10:14] <indus> u mean pen drive installation?
[10:14] <CIOCCOLATINO> buon giorno
[10:14] <CIOCCOLATINO> !list
[10:14] <FieKrIE> indus: what?
[10:15] <indus> FieKrIE: do u know what ubuntu is?
[10:16] <FieKrIE> indus:no, i don't know! hahaha...(sory)
[10:17] <Flannel> !ubuntu | FieKrIE
[10:17] <WinZ> how to fix the look of the file path in such case: http://i30.tinypic.com/ouprt2.jpg ? Is it because of Samba encoding parameters? Anyone? Please
[10:17] <indus> Flannel: good call
[10:17] <indus> and last chance too probably
[10:18] <FieKrIE> thanks all, sory
[10:21] <FieKrIE> Flannel: jancok!
[10:21] <Flannel> FieKrIE: What?

[10:24] <g_> ok so I boot into ubuntu now and see a blank brown screen with cursor only help!
[10:25] <pyrohotdog> Fresh install of 9.04 will not respond to pings, but has working connection to LAN & WAN. If I SSH from it to another machine, that machine can ping it...
[10:26] <irc_irc> Flannel: thank you
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:26] <szczym> Any of you have keyboard with multimedia keys (play, stop, mute ect.) ? Could you please test if it works with vlc media player and then comment the bug #419795
[10:27] <indus> ActionParsnip: Hi
[10:27] <Flannel> szczym: #ubuntu-bugs is the place for that, not here.  Thanks.
[10:27] <roflparrot> szczym,  okie dokie
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> szczym: which version of vlc?
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[10:28] <NewBiew> my friend own a domain and want temporarly pointing to my vps ip. i have told him to use a name in his domain manager and point it to my vps ip, without changing the dns of his domain name. how to set that A RECORDS in ubuntu hardy ???
[10:28] <indus> szczym: it works for me
[10:28] <szczym> ActionParsnip: the default one from ubuntu repository of your version
[10:29] <Alexia> szczym, can you please post the direct link to the bug page?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> szczym: ok just clarifying it for people. I dont use multimedia keys
[10:29] <azlon> i am trying to access a samba share from a Windows machine, but it keeps asking for user and pass. i enter my linux user/pass and it doesnt work. when i enter root and the pass it works. how can i access a samba share with a regular user/pass?
[10:29] <irc_irc> Flannel: if i increase the slide in usb creator what will it do ? i have data in my 4gb pendrive
[10:29] <szczym> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/419795
[10:29] <ziroday> NewBiew: you will have to do that through there domains administration page. Alternatively he himself can modify his /etc/hosts file which will affect just his computer
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> azlon: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER
[10:29] <indus> irc_irc: are you creating a bootable usb?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> azlon: type your password to authenticate sudo, then the same pass for the samba passwords
[10:29] <azlon> ActionParsnip, do i replace $USER with a username or do i type exactly $USER/
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> azlon: no need to replace it, $USER is the current user
[10:30] <irc_irc> indus: yes
[10:30] <grawity> azlon: it will result in the same thing anyway.
[10:30] <indus> irc_irc: i suggest you try unetbootin, usbcreator is buggy
[10:30] <NewBiew> ziroday: could you gave me a tutor about this? a link perhaps ?
[10:30] <azlon> ActionParsnip, can i set a different password? like, enter my sudo pass, then enter a different password which will be required when accessing the share?
[10:30] <b3rz3rk3r> anyone else with 64bit jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. ideas?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> azlon: its just means linux can use that instead of having to work out the active user, makes life tonnes easier
[10:31] <indus> irc_irc: but i remember flannel giving you the link to pendrive linux, which is different from creating a bootable usb
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> azlon: sure, ive never used a different pass for it. if it doesnt work, use the same password
[10:31] <Flannel> irc_irc: I'm not entirely sure.  Can you back up the data temporarily just in case?
[10:31] <azlon> ActionParsnip, thanks
[10:31] <szczym> indus Alexia roflparrot: lets meet on ubuntu-bugs to test it
[10:31] <FieKrIE> Flannel, please see my private message
[10:31] <irc_irc> indus: unetbootin takes whole space from pendrive ? right ? i have 4gb pendrive  with data. i don't want to waste space
[10:31] <ziroday> NewBiew: well to modify your domain settings you need to do that through your domain providers panel, this differs for every domain provider. You're better off contacting there support
[10:31] <Alexia> szczym, ??
[10:31] <indus> irc_irc: no it doenst
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> azlon: the password will authenticate the username, the username will then be used to read smb.conf to see what you can and connot do
[10:32] <indus> irc_irc: it will take space which it needs and leave the rest alone
[10:32] <Flannel> irc_irc: I don't see any documentation saying the USB creator is destructive (I don't see any saying otherwise either, except that it sounds like it won't take up more room than you need)
[10:32] <azlon> ActionParsnip,  ok, just set it up, let me try it... brb
[10:32] <irc_irc> indus: is it possible to use unetbootin to use only 1gb from 4gb pendrive ?
[10:32] <szczym> Alexia: i have been asked to move from that channel because bugs are out of topic here
[10:32] <indus> irc_irc: i believe yes but read the site for that info
[10:32] <Alexia> szczym, what is ubuntu-bugs?
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: sure but the OS may not see the remaining space
[10:32] <indus> !unetbootin | irc_irc
[10:33] <szczym> Alexia: its other irc chanell
[10:33] <Alexia> szczym, they really asked you to leave this channel?
[10:33] <indus> irc_irc: are you trying to run an installation from usb? or just create usb bootable
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: i've seen some guides where large empty files get added so the OS can use more space
[10:33] <szczym> where folks punish bugs
[10:33] <NewBiew> ziroday: for setting A Records in the domain manager is been done. but for setting in the targeted IP for the A RECORDS is not been done. confusing.
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> !bugs | szczym
[10:33] <irc_irc> indus: ActionParsnip :  i have data on 4gb pendrive . i want to create 1gb partition and want to use that 1gb from the 4gb pendrive. how to do that ?
[10:33] <Alexia> szczym, ok i will chat with you on there
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: then partition the usb as 1Gb and 3Gb
[10:33] <sybux> Hi all.
[10:34] <b3rz3rk3r> anyone else with 64bit jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. restarting ALSA doesnt solve it, but reboot the machines does. Suggestions?
[10:34] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: how to do that?
[10:34] <ziroday> NewBiew: I'm sorry I can't quite follow you, if its an issue with your domain provider you are better off contacting there support.
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: gksudo gparted     will help
[10:34] <sybux> I'm getting a little mad when trying to get running some cron job.
[10:34] <_tj> Okay.. ive been playing around with the different desktops... kde,xfce.. now in applications i see alot of stuff for all the desktops... ive done sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop and sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop ... how to i get the extra stuff to remove
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> !cron | sybux
[10:34] <sybux> I've got a script which is running well in shell command.
[10:34] <_tj> like xchat, konqueror
[10:34] <ziroday> !puregnome | _tj
[10:34] <sybux> but when I run it vi cron.hourly it failed and I don't know how to debug it
[10:35] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: after using gparted , can i use that 1gb only from the 4gb for unetbootin?
[10:35] <indus> irc_irc: aah create partitions,now for that there are commands to do so,but it might mess up data on usb
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> _tj: those are only metapackages and when removed do nothing but remove the package, you need the !puregnome or !purekde factoids
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: sure
[10:35] <indus> irc_irc: yes it will give u options to install to that partitition
[10:35] <azlon> ActionParsnip, awesome! it worked! thanks!
[10:36] <crunchbang> hi all !
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: if there is data on the device youwill need to copy it off until you are done
[10:36] <_tj> !purgegnome
[10:36] <_tj> !purekde
[10:36] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: indus: thank you very much
[10:36] <_tj> !puregnome
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> azlon: simple stuff eh. You can use that username now to restrict or allow access, you can control what smb usernames have access to wat
[10:36] <sybux> under which user cron.hourly scripts are running ?
[10:37] <_tj> Ok cool....
[10:37] <azlon> ActionParsnip, where can i set that up? how can i do user defined access? does the -a tag mean all?
[10:37] <_tj> ActionParsnip: one more question.. i installed cario.. if i decide i dont like it.. how can i get the bar back down at the bottom of the screen
[10:37] <indus> ActionParsnip: no thats not needed, it doesnt harm existing data
[10:37] <NewBiew> thx
[10:38] <indus> ActionParsnip: u mean unetbootin right?
[10:38] <dumont> is it possible to use cron to check if a php script is running in a firefox browser on the same server?
[10:38] <wolf23> can anyone tell me which torrent progam is good and fast on ubuntu?
[10:38] <sybux> is there a log file for cron job ?
[10:38] <indus> !torrent
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> azlon: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> azlon: http://pastebin.com/f51bb3fe6
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> azlon: thats mine on my file server, the bottom part is all you need really
[10:39] <wolf23> indus,  thanx friend, but which of them is more useful?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> azlon: the names in the brackets are the share names, the rest is self explanatory
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> !panel
[10:40] <indus> wolf23: try the default one, transmission , simpke and light weight, or you can try azereus for more control
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> !resetpanel
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> _tj: ^
[10:40] <azlon> ActionParsnip, thanks!
[10:40] <_tj> Thanks
[10:40] <indus> wolf23: original bittorent client , try some windows stuf with wine too
[10:40] <indus> wolf23: so many choices
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> azlon: if you master that file, you can ssh over and add / modify the file, restart samba and *poof* a new share appears
[10:40] <sybux> is there a log file for cron job ? How to enable them ?
[10:41] <miguel> hola
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> sybux: check in /var/log
[10:42] <wolf23> indus,  before i was using ktorrent,but it seems unluckly :(, and i want a good one? but on ubuntu
[10:42] <sybux> ActionParsnip: already looked but there is nothing execpt in syslog when I've restarted the cron service
[10:42] <indus> wolf23: hmm i never use torrents cos i dont see what good they are really
[10:43] <indus> wolf23: except pirated movies :)
[10:43] <indus> wolf23: what else is good by torrent? i dont get it
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: they all have benfits, try a few see which you prefer
[10:43] <indus> i get slower speeds with torrents, i prefer main server downloads http
[10:43] <indus> for example ubuntu iso, i never use torrent
[10:43] <azlon> ActionParsnip, hrmm... just tried to copy my movies folder from my Windows 1TB to my new RAID-5 3TB and it said not enough room. when i do "df" it says i have 2930279804K available on /media/md1 (my raid)... any ideas?
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: i use transmission as it talks nicely to my G1 phone :)
[10:44] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm could u be more specific ?
[10:44] <indus> ActionParsnip: with phone? how
[10:44] <aaron11> can someone help my applications places systen is gone
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> indus: my g1 phone can web browse, if i click on a torrent it loads the app and tells my pc at home to download the files
[10:45] <grawity> aaron11: is the entire panel gone?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> azlon: can you write a small file, to test
[10:45] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  transmission is good and fast without needing any configuration?
[10:45] <azlon> ActionParsnip, nevermind... i had to close and reopen my nautilus window after i set the permissions
[10:45] <aaron11> grawity no when i was playing a game it went away
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: its as fast as your connection will allow
[10:45] <aaron11> but the computer works
[10:45] <grawity> aaron11: Try pressing Alt-F2
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: just like all other torret clients
[10:46] <grawity> aaron11: If a window opens, type gnome-panel in it.
[10:46] <pyrohotdog> Why is transmission only downloading one thing at a time and saying that the address is already in use?
[10:46] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i didnot have router,and my connection is 2 mb?
[10:46] <aaron11> no its not oppening
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: then you will get 250kbps max speed
[10:46] <indus> aaron11: right click on menu>edit menus and add it back
[10:47] <grawity> wolf23: 2 mb or 2 MB?
[10:47] <grawity> (Or Mb?)
[10:47] <ak_> hi, my x server locked up after using openoffice doc editor, I can only use console now.. on x server, I can move the mosue but can't click on anything, and ctrl-alt-backspace does not work. I tried metacity :0 in console but it says, unable to open X display

[10:47] <shreymech> hello.. problem with totem movie player - when it plays .DAT extension videos ..it always show (streaming) near the video's time.. when i try to fast forward the video with .DAT extension.. totem again starts that video./ plzz solve this

[10:47] <indus> wolf23: how did u install it?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: sudo apt-get --purge remove ktorrent; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[10:48] <indus> wolf23: ok there you go ,terminal boy ActionParsnip gave u the code :)
[10:48] <aaron11> grawity,indus let me restart and see what happens
[10:48] <chessnutmushroom> i need to access a server and run a web browser from it, is the best way to install firefox and then ssh -X to it?
[10:48] <azlon> ok, files are copying to my new raid... now for my sound issues ;)
[10:48] <grawity> aaron11: you don't need to restart - just logout
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: you can also delete the ktorrent files and folders throughout your home folder if you wish
[10:48] <wolf23> indus,  i did : sudo apt-get install ktorrent
[10:48] <indus> wolf23: ya follow ActionParsnip advice
[10:49] <azlon> i have USB speakers plugged in but no audio. how can i make them the default speakers instead of my integrated sound card?
[10:49] <indus> wolf23: apt-get remove, or sudo dpkg -r will also do it
[10:49] <indus> ActionParsnip: does dpkg -r als oremove the cached package file?
[10:49] <shreymech> hello.. problem with totem movie player - when it plays .DAT extension videos ..it always show (streaming) near the video's time.. when i try to fast forward the video with .DAT extension.. totem again starts that video./ plzz solve this
[10:50] <indus> shreymech: totem will do that, move to vlc player or mplayer
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> indus: no only the app, -r will also leave the confi that isnt in home, so will then require dpkg -P <package to shift it
[10:50] <indus> ActionParsnip: how about dpkg -r --purge? does taht work?
[10:50] <lorenzosu> Using thunderbird and compiz with gnome and 3 virtual desktops. When I put thunderbird in the notification area and then open it again it is always opened onthe 3rd desktop.

[10:51] <grawity> ak_: sudo service gdm restart
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> g_: you can use /etc/network/interfaces file or iwconfig command
[10:51] <ak_> grawity: ok thx
[10:51] <indus> grawity: service?
[10:51] <MadGirl> service is probably hald
[10:52] <grawity> ak_: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace has been disabled in X, due to "accidients"
[10:52] <g_> I thought ieconfig was only for info!
[10:52] <indus> grawity: thats a redhat package i thought
[10:52] <grawity> indus: It has always worked on ubuntu.
[10:52] <grawity> If it doesn't -- sudo /etc/rc.d/gdm restart

[11:01] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: if you run: cd /var/lib/dkms/
[11:01] <ushus>  ActionParsnip: u tell me wat to do
[11:01] <perscitus> Does Ubuntu install grub on mbr by default?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: do you see openafs?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: yes
[11:01] <mtlife> I have a question, my ubuntu box always had ip 192.168.1.113 (dhcp reasons) and now it has 192.168.1.1. My windows box still thinks its 192.168.1.113 (by //ubuntu/ network shares), how can i fix this?
[11:01] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.-> How do i change that?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: the alternative installer allow you to place it elsewhere if you wish
[11:02] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  yes
[11:02] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  dkms_dbversion  openafs  vboxdrv  vboxnetadp  vboxnetflt
[11:02] <ushus> ubotty:when i am giving the password it shows it is connecting but finally keeps asking and get disconnected
[11:02] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  how do i move it
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: great: sudo mv /var/lib/dkms/openafs ~/
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: you cant with the desktop installer. You will have to run a full install then install grub where you wish afterwards
[11:03] <neonum6> hi everybody!can anyone suggest me a network bechmark tool that run on Ubuntu and Win too?
[11:03] <Roland> are there pdf readers for ubuntu which support bookmarks?
[11:03] <shomon> hiya, I've got and old laptop and it won't boot with the newest kernel update I got.
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Roland: adobe do a pdf reader
[11:03] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok done
[11:03] <shomon> running newest ubuntu
[11:03] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  how do i move it after the install
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: ok so now if you run ls, is the folder there?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> !grub | perscitus
[11:04] <indus> Roland: well evince does bookmarks too i suppose
[11:04] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  no
[11:04] <shomon> does anyone know how I can follow some steps to see if it installed right or where the error is?
[11:04] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  already there
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: great,ok: sudo apt-get --reinstall install openafs
[11:04] <esteban> bonjour
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: will reinstall it gracefully, you can then rip it out
[11:05] <indus> Roland: use the latest version though
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: or whatever the package name is
[11:05] <shomon> or if its about linux kernels, should I ask elsewhere?
[11:05] <indus> shomon: try the previous kernel ?
[11:05] <shomon> it works
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> !kernel | shomon
[11:05] <b3rz3rk3r> anyone else with jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. restarting ALSA doesnt solve it, but reboot the machines does. Suggestions?
[11:05] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  E: Couldn't find package openafs
[11:05] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: after gparted i made 1gb and 2.5gb partitions , but now i'm not getting the 2.5gb partition in windows, i only see the 1gb partition in windows
[11:06] <indus> shomon: this is sometimes normal with newer kernels, that is the reason why they have older kernels so you can boot
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: i dont know the exact package name
[11:06] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  i want it on the ubuntu partition
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: you will need to format it
[11:06] <shomon> okay, but how can I go in to see where the error is?
[11:07] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: formatting in windows??
[11:07] <indus> wolf23: openafs-client
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: if you wish
[11:07] <indus> !info openafs
[11:07] <indus> !info openafs-client
[11:07] <shomon> just hoping I'm not stuck with the previous kernel
[11:07] <`brandon`> !Net::IRC
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> shomon: did the previous kernel not work for you?
[11:07] <`brandon`> Net::IRC | brandon
[11:07] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: if i format all data will be lost from 2.5gb? right ?
[11:07] <`brandon`> :/
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: yes
[11:07] <`brandon`> can anyone tell me how to get Net::IRC on my ubuntu?
[11:08] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: how can i keep 1gb and 2.5gb intact with data?
[11:08] <wolf23> indus,  thanx
[11:08] <lstarnes> `brandon`: try using the package libnet-irc-perl
[11:08] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: is it possible to see both 1gb and 2.5 gb in windows?
[11:08] <lstarnes> `brandon`: or sudo cpan Net::IRC
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: you cant. you need to make the new file table then delete it. This will destroy the data on the device
[11:08] <indus> wolf23: which file do u want? there are many openafs files
[11:08] <indus> wolf23: openafs-fileserver etcc
[11:08] <shomon> yes it does, just want to know if there's a problem with my laptop and will I be stuck with this previous kernel, or should I just keep trying updates...
[11:08] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: are you talking about doing this in windows ?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: if there is data on the device you need you should have copied it off before starting
[11:09] <indus> shomon: keep trying updates
[11:09] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok,after done how to install transmission completely, and tell me if deluge need to remove it or keep it?
[11:09] <lstarnes> `brandon`: most irc bots written in perl use the newer POE::Component::IRC or POE::Component::IRC::State instead of the outdated Net::IRC
[11:09] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: but in linux i can see 1gb and 2.5 gb partition seperately.
[11:09] <shomon> ok cheers indus and actionparsnip!
[11:09] <indus> lstarnes: what do those two colons denote?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: you can have both installed if you want. I just wouldnt run both. to install transmission run: sudo apt-get install transmission
[11:09] <`brandon`> What about Net::IRQ?
[11:09] <indus> lstarnes: poe:: what is that
[11:09] <wolf23> indus,  openafs-client is for what?
[11:09] <lstarnes> indus: it's a hierarchial separator used for namespacing
[11:10] <lstarnes> indus: POE is the Perl Object Environment.  it's an event-driven progrmming framework
[11:10] <indus> wolf23: well its the software which sits on your system like host
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: thats because you will need to go into disk manager to sort them out and give drive letters etc
[11:10] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i got this configration on openafs : AFS cell this workstation belongs to:
[11:10] <indus> wolf23: you should kknow which is which, i dont use these
[11:10] <perscitus> to bad ActionParsnip  isnt in a helpful mood
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: if you are netbooting on the 1Gb partition it may not be readable in windows
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: too bad indeed
[11:11] <indus> wolf23: yea ActionParsnip will guide u
[11:11] <FishermansEnemy> Hello peep. Does anyone here know why Jaunty spawns a couple of argus processes when you disconnect from a USB mobile broandband connection?
[11:11] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: why is it not readable in windows?
[11:11] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i dont know what is openafs and using for what?
[11:11] <FishermansEnemy> It does it on my O2 and Vodafone dongles, both Huwei but different models
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: also too bad i'm helping wolf23 and irc_irc at the same time, so back off
[11:11] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: so how can i make a bootable ubuntu in 1gb partition?
[11:11] <mtlife> Hello, i have samba setup as a wins server, but when i go from my windows box to ubuntu with \\ubuntu\ it cannot find it. Ping reveals its trying to connect to 192.168.1.113 while the ip of \\ubuntu\ is 192.168.1.1. How to fix this?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: i didnt say it isnt, i simply said it may not
[11:12] <indus> ActionParsnip: ok ill help irc_irc
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: not sure
[11:12] <matrioska> buongiorno...c'è qualcuno che parla italiano ed ha un po' di tempo per una novellina di xubuntu? grazie
[11:12] <indus> irc_irc: so u got unetbootin? select that partition and install it htere
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> !info openafs-client
[11:12] <lstarnes> !it | matrioska
[11:12] <matrioska> ok grazie!!!
[11:13] <irc_irc> indus: i see the only 1gb partition in windows , not getting the 2.5gb partition
[11:13] <indus> matrioska: if you know a little english i suggest you stay here
[11:13] <indus> irc_irc: use it from ubuntu
[11:13] <indus> irc_irc: understood?
[11:13] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  is it necessary to install openafs?
[11:13] <indus> irc_irc: install unetbootin on ubuntu then create bootable usb
[11:13] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  grub says stage1 is on hd0,5 when there is only 4 partitions
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: i dont know what it is so i couldnt say, have a websearch and se what it is
[11:14] <indus> perscitus: number starts from zero thats why 0,1,2,3,4
[11:14] <irc_irc> indus: ok, but what may be the reason for not getting the 2.5gb partition in windows?
[11:14] <indus> irc_irc: what format is it?
[11:14] <lstarnes> perscitus: an extended volume counts as a partition, I think
[11:14] <matrioska> yes, but i don't speak english very well and i won't disturb...thank you i go in ubuntu italia
[11:14] <perscitus> indus.-> uh i am away of this.
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: weird, unless grub counts the extended partition with a partition number
[11:14] <indus> matrioska: ok but it might be empty
[11:14] <indus> matrioska: like all those local irc channels
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: then it would only go up to 0,4
[11:15] <mtlife> Hello, i have samba setup as a wins server, but when i go from my windows box to ubuntu with \\ubuntu\ it cannot find it. Ping reveals its trying to connect to 192.168.1.113 while the ip of \\ubuntu\ is 192.168.1.1. How to fix this?
[11:15] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  I got NTFS, unallocated, extended, swap, ext3.. in that order
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: add an entry in the hosts file is one way. and set the server to use static ip
[11:15] <giovanni> hi to all
[11:15] <mickster04> hi
[11:16] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  So thats only 4 if you count unallocated too
[11:16] <irc_irc> indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260258/
[11:16] <indus> mickster04: hello
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: maybe the unallocated space has a number in grub? I dont play with grub much as i only single boot
[11:16] <indus> irc_irc: what is this
[11:16] <indus> perscitus: what is the problem
[11:16] <mickster04> how do indus:D
[11:16] <indus> mickster04: super :) good to see u
[11:16] <irc_irc> indus: after partition the pendrive fat32
[11:16] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  stage1 is the boot file in /boot/grub?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: makes sense to me
[11:17] <irc_irc> indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260258/
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: i believe so yes.
[11:17] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok thanx too much dude :)
[11:17] <giovanni> i need an help with a bash script that i'm writing. I need to pass the output of a `ls` to a select. So i store the ls to VAR and then pass it to the select. The problem is with 2 worded directory that appear in 2 rows. Can someone help me?
[11:17] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  so I could just install grub to  hd0,5  then
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: np ma, let you r system run for a week or so
[11:17] <indus> irc_irc: so 2 fat 32 partitions ?
[11:17] <NET||abuse> hey guys, remember on the run up to jaunty, they had this    http://www.ubuntu.com/files/countdown/904/countdown-9.04-1/countdown.html   countdown graphic you could drop onto your homepage,, Wondering if one is coming out for Karmic
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: if all is well, you can delete the file you copied to your home directory
[11:17] <FishermansEnemy> Every time I disconnect a mobile broadband connection I get a couple of argus processes starting that take 50% cpu ( dual core system ). Anyone have any ideas why?
[11:17] <irc_irc> indus: yes
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: makes sense to me
[11:17] <indus> perscitus: yes you can if u wish
[11:18] <indus> perscitus: but i prefer just device mbr
[11:18] <indus> perscitus: setup (hd0)
[11:18] <FishermansEnemy> Google does not help, or my fu is weak.
[11:18] <indus> irc_irc: in windows you dont see it?
[11:18] <irc_irc> indus: yes
[11:18] <indus> irc_irc: why dont you use this from ubuntu and create it?
[11:18] <mtlife> ActionParsnip: i found it out myself, a restart of the bind9 server did it
[11:18] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i didnot continue install openafs i close it coz i dont know how to configure it? :(
[11:18] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  uh, unrecognized dev string
[11:19] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  but delete the file copied? which one?
[11:19] <indus> irc_irc: you in ubuntu now correct?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: then i'd find out what it is, if its uneeded, uninstall it
[11:19] <irc_irc> indus: bcaz i did not install unetbootin in ubuntu
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: ~/open<whatever it was>
[11:19] <indus> irc_irc: well, just install it then, its only 1 mb
[11:20] <indus> irc_irc: sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: read the grub factoid dude. it will tell you way more than i can
[11:20] <indus> perscitus: whats the problem you facing man?
[11:20] <perscitus> oops my bad
[11:20] <indus> perscitus: i solve your problem in 3 steps
[11:21] <indus> irc_irc: installed?
[11:21] <perscitus> indus.->  I use setup (hd0,5) ?
[11:21] <indus> perscitus: no use setup   (hd0)
[11:21] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  yes if it not needed or uneeded tell me plz :)
[11:21] <perscitus> indus.->  not going on mbr
[11:21] <indus> perscitus: why not?
[11:21] <perscitus> indus.->  another bootloader there
[11:22] <indus> perscitus: which one
[11:22] <perscitus> indus.->  doesnt matter
[11:22] <irc_irc> indus: yes
[11:22] <cowiecow> Hi hi, does anyone know of a way to get Rhythmbox to repeat a track instead of repeating the whole playlist? Some of my songs have the same names, but one might be a remix, so I can't just use the search tool to do it all.
[11:22] <indus> perscitus: lol ok then setup     (hd0,anywher u like)
[11:22] <indus> irc_irc: so open the software and se your partition?
[11:23] <indus> cowiecow: repeat button?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: sudo apt-get --purge remove openafs-client
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: then read the screen, see what is going to ALSO be removed
[11:23] <Dougal> tech question from a tech newbie - If I buy an IDE DVD writer from ebay can I just assume It'll be possible to get it working on my desktop?
[11:23] <Dougal> I have a resident computer-geek who can help me get it installed, I just don't want him to take a look at it and go 'oooo, you should have got a different one'
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Dougal: all drives have IDE :)
[11:23]  * Dougal nods
[11:23] <irc_irc> indus: yes, it's working in linux ,but interesting , why isn't it working in windows?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Dougal: drives and IDEs use ISO standards so will be fine
[11:23] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm really, all newer ones aer SATA
[11:24] <cowiecow> indus: Well, the repeat button is a Repeat Playlist, not a Repeat Track/Repeat One Song.
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> indus: ide == itegrated drive electronics
[11:24] <indus> irc_irc: well,gparted isnt perfect
[11:24] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.-> smartaleck
[11:24] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm so its not a standard?
[11:24] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i got this when i do installing transmission --> Building module:
[11:24] <wolf23> cleaning build area....(bad exit status: 2)
[11:24] <wolf23> ./configure --with-linux-kernel-headers=/lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/build && make && mv src/libafs/MODLOAD-*/openafs.ko
[11:24] <Dougal> ActionParsnip: IDE fits into mine, it's a very old one. Could there be problems with drivers?
[11:24] <irc_irc> indus: what do you mean , bug in gparted ??
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> indus: the littel chip that gives drive cache etc. Old drives that were not IDE relied entirely on the controller
[11:24] <perscitus> Dougal.->  use PATA instead of IDE
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> Dougal: the kernel will handle it
[11:24] <FishermansEnemy> ActionParsnip, except the ones that are SATA
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> FishermansEnemy: sata have ides too
[11:25] <indus> irc_irc: not bug,but cant say where lies the problem, i have gparted failing to recognise my partitions sometimes
[11:25] <indus> irc_irc: diferent software work differnetly when creating partitions
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> FishermansEnemy: scsi drives have ides too
[11:25] <indus> ActionParsnip: iam talking about the interface IDE
[11:25] <irc_irc> indus: is there any other software except gparted to partition drive?
[11:25] <FishermansEnemy> ActionParsnip, I bow before your experience.
[11:25] <theuns1> HI can some help me with rsync
[11:26] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  oh stop
[11:26] <indus> irc_irc: qtparted i think
[11:26] <theuns1> i did read the man and i give the command correctly
[11:26] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  Reading state information... Done
[11:26] <wolf23> Package openafs-client is not installed, so not removed
[11:26] <irc_irc> indus: ok
[11:26] <irc_irc> indus: thank you
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> FishermansEnemy: its a common mistake but is understood by all. i just like nit picking it ;)
[11:26] <NeXstaR> how do i change the top bar on gnome also to awm manager ?
[11:26] <theuns1> but i do get the error "ssh: Could not resolve hostname http: Name or service not known" ??
[11:27] <theuns1> what is wrong ??
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: no problem then: simply run: sudo apt-get -f install
[11:27] <revilodraw> hi! i just followed the system update, which updated my exaile, now the multimedia keys wont fast forward, pause songs etc... any deas?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: to make sure everything is square
[11:27] <yva> hello is there somewhere a list of ubuntu-compatible laptop?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: if you see all 0s you win the prize
[11:27] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  wouldnt it be easier to assume when people say ide drive, then mean PATA?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !hcl > yva
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !laptop
[11:27] <FishermansEnemy> Easier, but not as fun ;)
[11:28] <loop8> hey. smartctl shows my Seek_Error_Rate of one of my hard drives to be quite a high value. do I need to be concerned?
[11:28] <yva> (I'm interested in the acer aspire 7738G)
[11:28] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  just paste this sudo apt-get -f install???
[11:28] <indus> !hcl
[11:28] <rohdef> is there an easy program to plan placement of furniture in a room? It should be simple, since all firnuture and the room i rectangular
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> yva: the acer aspire one ZG5 works 100% out of the box with NBR 9.04
[11:28] <indus> rohdef: wrong channel
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: sure if you wish
[11:28] <Flannel> rohdef: You could use inkscape....
[11:28] <Flannel> indus: No it's not
[11:28] <indus> rohdef: or maybe not
[11:28] <indus> ya sorry missed it
[11:28] <rohdef> hehe :)
[11:28] <indus> heh sorry
[11:29] <Flannel> rohdef: dia might have a furnature/room/etc library already, I'm not sure
[11:29] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  Building dependency tree
[11:29] <wolf23> Reading state information... Done
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: use pastebin again dude
[11:29] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  oh sorry
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> np :)
[11:29] <indus> wolf23: just to clarify, you cant remove software you havent installed :)
[11:29] <rohdef> Flannel, I'll try, thanks
[11:29] <rohdef> indus, hehe it happens
[11:30] <yva> No 7738G :(
[11:30] <indus> rohdef: how about some 3d max type software?
[11:30] <indus> rohdef: i seen autocad doing it sometimes ,these builders
[11:30] <Flannel> rohdef: looks like xfig might be a good lead too, xfig-libs includes furniture stuff
[11:30] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  http://pastebin.com/m63cfc369
[11:30] <rohdef> indus, too complicated, but a possibility, I have no need for the z-factor
[11:31] <indus> rohdef: kk
[11:31] <indus> rohdef: so 2d
[11:31] <wolf23> indus,  ah ok thanx
[11:31] <rohdef> indus, yup that's best, I think I got some good shots at what I can use now
[11:31] <Akos_bacsi> hi, after yesterday's update of the mono packages we have lost the nfs-home-s, Why?
[11:31] <rohdef> Flannel, thankks a lot :)
[11:31] <rohdef> *thanks
[11:31] <cowiecow> indus: How would I get Rhythmbox to Repeat Track?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: o kyou  are set: sudo apt-get upgrade and you are good to run
[11:31] <yva> ActionParsnip> No problem with only part of the ram detected?
[11:32] <indus> cowiecow: there is a repeat button in it
[11:32] <cowiecow> indus: I know, but it repeats the whole playlist, doesn't it? Not one song.
[11:32] <indus> cowiecow: but u already seen it iam sure'
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> yva: it detects al the ram i the acer. What do you mean>
[11:32] <indus> cowiecow: no move it to playqueue
[11:32] <cowiecow> Ehh.
[11:32] <indus> cowiecow: then repeat
[11:33] <cowiecow> indus: I guess. So it won't work like iTunes or Banshee.
[11:33] <mickster04> cowiecow, can you not just select the song and play it by itself?
[11:33] <yva> ActionParsnip> I read somewhere that only 3 out of 4 G of ram was detected under 9.04 with the 7738G
[11:33] <indus> cowiecow: in banshee how does it work?
[11:33] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  now i open transmission, is there to edit anything on preference like in yours :)
[11:33] <indus> cowiecow: banshee is better anyways
[11:33] <cowiecow> indus: You have three options: Repeat One, Repeat All, and No Repeat. I think it's better, but it lags on me at times... Have you used Exaile?
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> yva: if a system has > 4Gb ram then i advise 64bit OS
[11:34] <indus> cowiecow: once i did but didnt stick to it much
[11:34] <cowiecow> mickster84: I can put it in the Play Queue, but that's it. It works very... oddly since it's only Repeat Trakc.
[11:34] <yva> ActionParsnip> It has 4G
[11:34] <indus> !exaile
[11:34] <cowiecow> mickster84: *Repeat List
[11:34] <administrator__> ?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: its pretty much set, you can enable the web interface if you wish so you can manage the app from another system
[11:34] <mickster04> !tab | cowiecow
[11:34] <administrator__> fd
[11:34] <administrator__> sdf

[11:34] <mickster04> cowiecow, im zero-four not eight-foiur
[11:35] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok thanx dude :))
[11:35] <cowiecow> mickster04: Oh. Oops.
[11:35] <mickster04> cowiecow, its ok:D
[11:35] <yva> ActionParsnip> why would a 64bits be required for > 4G of ram?
[11:36] <mickster04> cowiecow, well if u just want to play one track anyway why use the who playlist?
[11:36] <mickster04> ActionParsnip, surely you need a 64bit processor too?
[11:36] <cowiecow> mickster04: Because Rhythmbox doesn't give you that ability. I wish it would let me choose a song from the PLaylist and it would repeat that until I wanted to change songs. iTunes/Banshee/Listen-style.
[11:36] <mickster04> cowiecow, whole*
[11:37] <mickster04> cowiecow, oh i have never used rythmbox:D
[11:37] <indus> cowiecow: exaile looks sleek doesnt it?
[11:37] <indus> cowiecow: but mostly i use default apps
[11:38] <cowiecow> mickster04: xP Yeah... It's a decent player - it just is missing that Repeat Track deal. And that's a dealbreaker.
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> mickster04: indeed
[11:38] <indus> cowiecow: if u move a song to play queue doesnt it repeat?
[11:38] <cowiecow> indus: Typically, I try to keep close to default apps, and particularly ones that are pointed out to by GNOME... But Rhythmbox sucks and for me, Firefox > Epiphany. x_x For some reason, Amarok doesn't work with me.
[11:38] <indus> hmm true
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> yva: 32bit cpu cant handle more than 3Gb ram due to 32bit address registers
[11:39] <cowiecow> cowiecow: Oh. Uhhh... It would. But it's just that I'd rather have it like Banshee or something. x.x So much for default player.
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> yva: you wont find a system with more ram than the cpu can address, its just silly
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> yva: you can address more ram if you use PAE
[11:39] <lstarnes> ActionParsnip: I thought the limit was about 4 GB
[11:39] <cowiecow> *indus: Oh. Uhhh... It would. But it's just that I'd rather have it like Banshee or something. x.x So much for default player.
[11:39] <yva> ActionParsnip> ok. but there a bunch of software not existing in the 64 bit version?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> lstarnes: ive seen folks only gtting 3Gb so I advise 64bit personally
[11:40] <yva> ActionParsnip> PAE?
[11:40] <bjwe> I am trying to "ghost" my bootable compact flash card to another compact flash card (1st cf = /dev/sda1, 2nd cf = /dev/sdb1). I've ran "cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/sdb1". When I try to boot my 2nd cf card it goes to the bootloader it seems, but not further
[11:40] <bjwe> any ideas?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> yva: some dont (like ghastly skype and some game devs dont make 64 bit) but most do
[11:40] <Innomen> will the next version of ubuntu have an updated kernel?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> yva: websearch it, its quite complex
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: yes
[11:41] <Krenari> i have have problem with graphic card
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image karmic
[11:41] <yva> ActionParsnip> Yep skype is one of the app I use the most
[11:41] <indus> ActionParsnip: why is skype ghastly?
[11:41] <arand> bjwe: are usb sticks complete twins?
[11:41] <indus> ActionParsnip: its the best voip app on linux
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> yva: skype can run in 64bit. i hate skype and do not use it as it proprietary
[11:42] <indus> ActionParsnip: aah for that
[11:42] <Krenari> ActionParsnip: I have problem with graphic card. can yuu help me pls
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> indus: ekiga is another option. i just hate skype and broadcom and apple
[11:42] <yva> ActionParsnip> sure it's running in 64 bits?
[11:42] <indus> ActionParsnip: ekiga is downright pathetic, but its off topic now
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> yva: there are guides
[11:42] <bjwe> arand: nope
[11:42] <bjwe> arand: and they are CF cards
[11:42] <indus> yva: it runs in 64 bit iam using it
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Krenari: can you provide the output of: sudo lshw -C display | grep product
[11:43] <indus> ActionParsnip: and they will drop it in future anyway
[11:43] <yva> indus> excellent thanks
[11:43] <cowiecow> ActionParsnip: Aside from the open source factor of Ekiga, why would one prefer Ekiga?
[11:43] <indus> yva: use the medibuntu packages for skype
[11:43] <yva> indus> it alspo support the webcam?
[11:43] <indus> cowiecow: i find ekiga to be the most hopeless of all defaults
[11:43] <Krenari> product: RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO]
[11:43] <Krenari>        product: RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary)
[11:43] <indus> yva: yes it does
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> cowiecow: i support open source where i can. drivers and flash are also stuff i use but they just work better, there are thousands of voip softwares which work well
[11:44] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  sorry but a little error, if i try to delete the folder copied from home, it shows : There was an error deleting kernel-2.6.28-15-generic-x86_64. permision denied
[11:44] <yva> indus> ok just checking
[11:44] <indus> !medibuntu
[11:44] <LinDrug> is there an arabic ubuntu-channel?
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> !ati | Krenari
[11:44] <indus> yva: just download the packge from medibuntu.org
[11:44] <cowiecow> ActionParsnip: so more or less, it's all philosophy?
[11:44] <yva> indus> I don't have the 64 bit version yet
[11:44] <yva> I want to buy a new laptop
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: if you are deleting the folder we copied to your home folder you will need to run: gksudo nautilus   then delete it, then close nautilus
[11:45] <indus> yva: skype is 32 bit only, but it can be installed on a 64 bit OS
[11:45] <indus> yva: 64 bit support will probably arrive late this year
[11:45] <cowiecow> indus: I noticed that when I played with it earlier... T_T
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> cowiecow: its just how i feel about 1 system being touted as "best" just because its used by most. Windows is a classic example here, as well as ipod / iphone
[11:45] <indus> skype is thebest , and it doesnt need a poll to prove it
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> indus: many would agree, many would disagree
[11:46] <mickster04> indus your prolly wrong on that one, i for one disagree
[11:46] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm not many would disagree iam sure
[11:46] <bhaskar_> help me
[11:46] <cowiecow> ActionParsnip: Ah, yeah. I get what you mean. I thought initially you meant that Ekiga had a set of unique features that make it really strong even if it's an 'underdog' in terms of popularity. But I get what you mean.
[11:46] <indus> mickster04: you are nobody :) just a spec
[11:46] <ahmed> Any one know a tool to convert between compressed file formats?
[11:46] <yva> I has the advantage og being compatible across platforms
[11:47] <cowiecow> mickster04: What do you use for VoIP on Linux?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> indus: well most people use windows OS, maybe you should use that as they tink its best....
[11:47] <indus> skype is encrypted end to end for both video and voice, no ther voip app even exists that can do it
[11:47] <yva> but the linux version is terrible wrt managing the sound etc
[11:47] <mickster04> cowiecow, skype, doesnt mean its the best tho:p
[11:47] <bhaskar_> i cant able to connect to net
[11:47] <cowiecow> mickster04: What do you prefer then? =P
[11:48] <indus> ActionParsnip:  mickster04 skype is encrypted end to end for both video and voice, no ther voip app even exists that can do it
[11:48] <indus> any comments

[11:50] <mickster04> cowiecow, you ok?
[11:50] <gogereaver> ActionParsnip: hear is a tinfoil hat
[11:50] <onexused> indus: For me, the fact that Skype is written so that they can monitor your convo if they want (as evidenced by their allowing China to monitor connections in and out of the country) turns me off.  Even if Skype never gives anyone the keys again, it's still easier for a cracker to get in, I would think, than a program that tries to keep -all- spying out. http://arstechnica.com/telecom/news/2009/07/russia-not-the-first-to-see-skype-as-a-security-th
[11:50] <cowiecow> mickster04: Maybe. I'm running on low sleep, lol. I'm a LITTLE loopy.
[11:50] <gogereaver> ActionParsnip: ware it
[11:51] <vilkas> hi, i have a quiestion, added vsftpd deb pkg, and down know how to disable that stupid tate before file name, anny suggestions?
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> gogereaver: not othered
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> *bothered
[11:51] <vilkas> misstyped date*
[11:51] <cowiecow> Oh yeah. I also started playing with a little amateur photography lately. I feel that as a library F-Spot doesn't do the trick very well (especially since I came from the Mac world, so I found Aperture and iPhoto VERY good for organizing my photos). Are there any other GTK-based deals that help out with this? I know digiKam exists for Qt/KDE, but I'd very much prefer something GTK.
[11:51] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  where can i see transmission in which folder?
[11:51] <gogereaver> ActionParsnip: wjere all tinfoil hat we run linux
[11:52] <Gnea> cowiecow: gtkam
[11:52] <lstarnes> gogereaver: I think you have linux mistaken for openbsd
[11:52] <gogereaver> lol
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> gogereaver: no need. i casually webbrowse and chat,super top secret
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: the binary is in /usr/bin the rest of the app is scattered throughout the system
[11:52] <idan> anyone have a solution for making movies.com work on ubuntu ?
[11:53] <indus> grr off topic
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: the default save location is the desktop, you can change this so your system is neater
[11:53] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  if i open a torrent file it opens with deluge, how could i do with transmission?
[11:53] <cowiecow> !gtkam
[11:53] <indus> onexused: that depends which report you read
[11:53] <mickster04> idan whats your problem with it?
[11:54] <cowiecow> Gnea: Does it have the ability to still touch them up a bit like F-Spot? Or is it strict library?
[11:54] <ahmed_>  Any one know a tool to convert between compressed file formats?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: download a .torrent file to the desktop . right click it -> open with ->other program and select transmission and select remember this setting
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: you can also change aps in firefox so that it is the default app to use
[11:55] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  :) ok
[11:55] <Gnea> cowiecow: i don't remember :)
[11:55] <Gnea> cowiecow: you'll have to try it and see
[11:55] <cowiecow> Gnea: Aight. Thankies.
[11:55] <mickster04> idan, ? whats the problem with it?
[11:55] <onexused> indus: I like the paranoid version : )
[11:55] <Gnea> cowiecow: I'm used to gimping them anyway
[11:56] <vilkas> sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default,  use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?
[11:56] <cowiecow> Gnea: Yah. I mean, I could always GIMP/Photoshop/whatever them too, but having the ability to make subtle lighting, etc. changes as I need be without waiting for GIMP to open up would be MUCH nicer.
[11:56] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  u can change apps in firefox, where is it :(( sorry but i cant see it
[11:57] <indus> onexused: heh me too :) fun to read
[11:57] <itg> hi
[11:57] <indus> cowiecow: should i try exaile or banshee?
[11:57] <Gnea> cowiecow: like I said, you'll have to try it out. if it doesn't have it, make a feature request or write it in yourself
[11:57] <itg> where is the german ubuntu support?
[11:57] <cowiecow> Gnea: I don't think gtkam supports my model of camera. It's a Kodak V1073, so I'll probably go request it or figure something out.
[11:58] <bazhang> itg, #ubuntu-de
[11:58] <itg> thx
[11:58] <Gnea> cowiecow: really? it works just fine on mine, since it uses libusb
[11:58] <cowiecow> indus: Try them both, I'd say. But for the record... exaile runs like Amarok, GTK edition. Banshee is very very iTunes-like in interface, although I prefer it over iTunes in some ways (aside from how iTunes CAN convert music and I don't know if Banshee can).
[11:59] <cowiecow> indus: My preferences is Banshee. My main gripe is the lag involved sometimes with the poor redrawing abilities of Banshee since it does its interface a LITTLE differently.
[11:59] <Gnea> cowiecow: hrm, you're right, I don't see the V1073 in the list
[12:00] <cowiecow> Gnea: It's a fairly new camera. It wouldn't surprise me if it weren't there. It's a point-and-shoot too, so it's not one of the big boys.
[12:00]  * Gnea looksees
[12:00] <GPL> i installed the radeonhd driver, but when run the command 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct rendering enabled"' it says "(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled" :( | Uhh :( i'm sure something went wrong
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: edit -> perfs -> applications tab
[12:01] <cowiecow> Oh yeah, does anyone know a GTK equivalent of CoverSutra? I REALLY liked being able to just press a key and pull up everything with a keystroke to control my media.
[12:01] <Gnea> cowiecow: ah, yeah, that line of the easyshares leaves a bit to be desired... does it take the picture right away, as soon as you press the button, or does it wait a second before actually taking it?
[12:02] <aaron11> helo
[12:02] <aaron11> helo
[12:02] <cowiecow> Gnea: Pretty much right away. I've actually been rather satisfied with it for the most part.
[12:02] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok :) now thanx, and good helper
[12:02] <mickster04> hi
[12:03] <cowiecow> Gnea: No wait or anything. My main gripe is that compared to my old Nikon Coolpix, the pictures aren't as sharp all the time. That Nikon Coolpix L6 got some REALLY sharp pictures. But the video quality of the Kodak V1073 managed to get HD video, so I liked it. Unfortunately, gtkam doesn't. D:
[12:03] <vilkas> sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default,  use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?
[12:03] <Gnea> cowiecow: cool. I've got a Z730 that's done pretty well. I was able to capture Jupiter, Mars and Vega with it recently.
[12:03] <cowiecow> Gnea: Really? I was thinking of getting one of the Z series earlier, but I ended up going for the V series. I hear lots of good things from the Z line though.
[12:04] <Gnea> cowiecow: that would be a really nice camera to be supported by libgphoto
[12:04] <mickster04> Gnea, thats a pretty big net u have there:P
[12:04] <mickster04> !ot
[12:04] <Gnea> mickster04: enough :p
[12:04] <cowiecow> Gnea: Yeah, I get what you mean. lol
[12:04] <cowiecow> Okay...
[12:04] <mickster04> :D
[12:05] <onexused> idan: What part of movies.com isn't working for you?
[12:05] <mickster04> idan isnt here anymroe
[12:05] <zebuduflea> hello , i would like to ask a question
[12:05] <mickster04> i presume his flash player wasnt working
[12:05] <mickster04> zebuduflea, but fo course
[12:05] <mickster04> !ask
[12:05] <cowiecow> Has anyone here heard of that one project about pidgin-webkit or whatever where they managed to port over Adium messagelists to Pidgin? Because I wanted to do that, but it seems like it doesn't work on newer versions - and on top of that I'm on amd64, not i386. D:
[12:05] <Gnea> cowiecow: yeah, I would talk to the libgphoto people and see if there's a way they can work with you to get it supported: http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php
[12:05] <vilkas> sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default,  use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?
[12:05] <cowiecow> Gnea: Thankies.
[12:06] <Gnea> cowiecow: I mean, if I were you. :)
[12:06] <zebuduflea> i just installed ubuntu on vmware, i have fedora already and i was wondering if unbuntu has the equivalent of "yum" in fedora ?
[12:06] <mickster04> zebuduflea, what is yum?
[12:06] <onexused> zebuduflea: apt-get
[12:06] <Pythack> zebuduflea > apt-get.
[12:06] <arand> zebuduflea: or aptitude
[12:07] <onexused> mickster04: yum is redhat, fedora's package manager
[12:07] <cowiecow> zebuduflea: GUI choices are Synaptic Package Manager. Terminal choices are apt-get and aptitude.
[12:07] <mickster04> o i c
[12:07] <zebuduflea> thanks
[12:07] <leaf-sheep> mickster04: yum for Fedora.  apt-get/aptitude for Ubuntu.
[12:07] <zebuduflea> danke schon
[12:07] <Pythack> What is the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[12:07] <Gnea> mickster04: yum is the fedora equivalent of apt, but for installing rpms
[12:07] <Pythack> zebuduflea > You're deutsch?
[12:07] <mickster04> lol i get it now:D
[12:07] <cowiecow> Pythack: aptitude is more powerful. It's generally just better to use.
[12:07] <zebuduflea> no, just speak a bit of deutch
[12:07] <mickster04> deutsch*
[12:07] <cowiecow> Pythack: apt-get I think was there long and is simpler to use. But I prefer aptitude... When I'm not too lazy to type it. >_>;
[12:08] <mickster04> anyone unsolved?
[12:08]  * leaf-sheep use aliases to install/purge/etc packages. :)
[12:08] <Pythack> cowiecow > I've always use apt-get but I'll try to use aptitude.
[12:08] <aaron11> pati
[12:08] <aaron11> help
[12:08] <aaron11> helo
[12:09] <mickster04> hello aaron11
[12:09] <arand> Pythack: aptitude is a bit more high-level. Has a possible ncurses interface, and generally tells you more about what's being done. And has some oddity resolving features as well...
[12:09] <cowiecow> Pythack > To each their own. Aptitude's high point is that when you remove packages it'll also remove any dependencies that package had that are no longer being used anymore, which is nice.
[12:09] <GPL> i installed the radeonhd driver, but when run the command 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct rendering enabled"' it says "(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled" :( | Uhh :( i'm sure something went wrong
[12:09] <aaron11> mickster04
[12:09] <aaron11> mickster04 hi
[12:09] <mickster04> !ask | aaron11,
[12:09] <zebuduflea> its nice, my installation has wget and gcc
[12:09] <zebuduflea> :P
[12:09] <zebuduflea> already
[12:09] <aaron11> ?
[12:09] <zebuduflea> wasnt the case on fedora
[12:09] <aaron11> mickster04 i didnt ask a question
[12:10] <mickster04> aaron11, well u wrote "help"
[12:10] <aaron11> what i meant was helo
[12:10] <mickster04> aaron11, oooh ok, hello ack
[12:10] <mickster04> aaron11, oooh ok, hello back*
[12:10] <vilkas> sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default,  use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?
[12:10] <zebuduflea> Another question: yum had the option to search through packages, "yum serach whatever" , how do i do this with apt-get ?
[12:10] <Gnea> aaron11: this is an irc channel, not an smtp server :)
[12:11] <mickster04> zebuduflea, use synaptics package manager?
[12:11] <leaf-sheep> zebuduflea: aptitude search pidgin --OR -- apt-cache search firefox
[12:11] <vilkas> it's hopeless
[12:11] <zebuduflea> thanks , i was using apt-get search whatever
[12:11] <mickster04> vilkas, yeap, seems so
[12:12] <cowiecow> Oh, for anyone who uses GIMP... Are there any set of plugins that you particularly like using? I have only a few, but I think a few more would be helpful to have.
[12:12] <aruntomar> i have ubuntu 9.04 and it almost eats up my entire 4 gig's of ram after running continuously for approx 1 week, my system config is amd athlon x2 dual core, 4 gig ram, asus motherboard, 500 gig hard disk, at the time i was checking the memory usage not a single application was running and in the top there are hardly any processes that would eat up that much ram, has anyone else faced the same kind of issue?
[12:12] <vilkas> anyway bye
[12:12] <zebuduflea> aruntomare, maybe you are hacked
[12:12] <mickster04> aruntomar, it might be caching ram?
[12:12] <metacube__> Which ZFs Version is current ported for the ubuntu rep
[12:13] <aruntomar> zebuduflea: i'm sure that my system is not hacked ;)
[12:13] <aruntomar> mickster04: how can i find the cache usage etc
[12:13] <zebuduflea> :)
[12:14] <cowiecow> Is there a way to install i386 software on amd64 platforms? Like, I have an i386 package I can't find an amd64 of.
[12:14] <mickster04> aruntomar, u know that ubuntu uses free ram to store stuff in for quick access, it isnt used as such just ready for use if need be and will be removed if and when a different program requessts it
[12:14] <mickster04> !ram-caching
[12:14] <mickster04> :/
[12:14] <mickster04> !cache<mickster04
[12:14] <mickster04> !cache > mickster04
[12:15] <mickster04> hmm..brb
[12:15] <zebuduflea> How can i copy something into terminal from windows, im using vmware to run unbuntu
[12:16] <zebuduflea> How can i copy something into terminal from windows, im using vmware to run unbuntu
[12:16] <Pythack> I have some knowledge in C, and I want to know how I can do for participate in GNU project?
[12:16] <onexused> zebuduflea: Does vmware have a "shared clipboard" or similar option?  I'm not familiar with it.
[12:17] <cowiecow> zebuduflea: Copy whatever in VMWare, however VMWare told you to do it... Then Ctrl+Shift+V in Terminal.
[12:17] <optimus> zebuduflea: just copy it
[12:17] <zebuduflea> ok, i will try contro-shit-v
[12:18] <optimus> there u go
[12:18] <aruntomar> zebuduflea: well i'm not very sure of vmware but in virtualbox once u install guest additions then you can seamlessly copy paste stuff from one vm to another
[12:18] <mickster04> aruntomar, basically it probably isnt full, just has stuff cached, does it work slow ?
[12:18] <zebuduflea> it doesnt work, ctrl-v or ctrl-shift-v
[12:18] <aruntomar> mickster04: when i open some other application its a bit slow
[12:19] <Pythack> ?
[12:19] <zebuduflea> im copying from windows to vmware box
[12:19] <aruntomar> and if it's caching then basically i would like to know or get the info about how much caching it's doing etc etc, how can i change those settings
[12:19] <mickster04> aruntomar, do u have the system monitor in the task ar?
[12:20] <arias> hello! what would be the easiest way to create a new account with the same permissions/groups/sudo access as the user created during installation? i'd like to create a new one
[12:20] <cowiecow> Alright. Thanks for the help, everyone. I'm going to restart now and hope for the best. *prays*
[12:20] <aruntomar> mickster04: i used top and gnome-monitor for the memory usage
[12:21] <GPL> After installing the radeonhd driver, when i run this command 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct rendering enabled"' it says "(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled" :( , it should say RADEONHD(0) | please help, :( how to rectify this problem ?
[12:21] <mickster04> well u should notice a difference between used ram and cached ram, on mine i have one colour for each an the ram looks full but with two colours:D
[12:22] <mickster04> aruntomar,  well u should notice a difference between used ram and cached ram, on mine i have one colour for each an the ram looks full but with two colours:D
[12:22] <odahilys> Hello
[12:22] <aruntomar> mickster04: i guess u r using gnome-monitor
[12:22] <mickster04> yeah
[12:22] <odahilys> Can anyone help me? I am trying to install 9.04 on my laptop
[12:22] <aruntomar> mickster04: the other color is for swap
[12:23] <odahilys> i formatted drive C:/ through MS-DOS
[12:23] <odahilys> now it gives me an error saying "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda"
[12:23] <odahilys> when i try to install ubuntu on my hdd
[12:23] <mickster04> aruntomar,  no on memory usage, there are several options one of which is chache?
[12:24] <odahilys> anyone help me please
[12:24] <axle> hey
[12:24] <odahilys> im osless on my laptop
[12:24] <axle> whats wrong?
[12:24] <axle> oh
[12:24] <odahilys> I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.04
[12:24] <axle> k
[12:24] <odahilys> I had vista
[12:24] <axle> you put the disk
[12:24] <leaf-sheep> axle: Say something.
[12:24] <axle> then boot from it
[12:24] <leaf-sheep> axle: Say my name.
[12:24] <odahilys> I formatted C:\ through ms-dos
[12:24] <axle> click next
[12:24] <leaf-sheep> !ops | axle (Bot)
[12:24] <odahilys> it gives me an error
[12:24] <teky7> hi
[12:25] <axle> what error?
[12:25] <MadGirl> i heard error was very descriptive alecs, unless you paste code, we can't say much more
[12:25] <odahilys> One sec
[12:25] <odahilys> recreating
[12:25] <axle> lol
[12:25] <odahilys> "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda"
[12:25] <elky> axle, bots lol now?
[12:25] <mickster04> odahilys, do you install from the menu? you have the option to format during installation?
[12:26] <axle> umm, you must have me confused with another axle
[12:26] <odahilys> i click cancel through it and it finally shows "The creation of swap space in partition #5 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."
[12:26] <odahilys> installed from menu
[12:26] <axle> ic, so it fails during partitioning?
[12:26] <leaf-sheep> >_>
[12:26] <odahilys> i couldnt do anything before, vista prevented me from turning my computer on
[12:26] <mickster04> odahilys, well if u click cancel of course it fails?
[12:26] <odahilys> i tried ignore and retry as well
[12:26] <odahilys> still fails
[12:26] <elky> leaf-sheep, please do not abuse the ops command like that. axle does not appear to be a bot to me.
[12:27] <mickster04> vista cant do that?
[12:27] <mickster04> odahilys, vista cant do that?
[12:27] <odahilys> Yes it
[12:27] <odahilys> can
[12:27] <odahilys> Its vista
[12:27] <odahilys> lol
[12:27] <FloodBot2> odahilys: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:27] <odahilys> D:>
[12:27] <mickster04> odahilys, if you couldnt turn it on there is something else which is the problem?
[12:27] <odahilys> It turns on
[12:27] <odahilys> but when i try to go to bios
[12:27] <bazhang> MadGirl, ubuntu
[12:27] <MadGirl> i guess ubuntu is the one for me. good luck all.
[12:27] <axle> it fails when you try to partition right?
[12:27] <odahilys> the vista takes over
[12:27] <odahilys> yes
[12:27] <axle> are you booting from the cd?
[12:28] <axle> kk
[12:28] <odahilys> yes
[12:28] <odahilys> good ol' iso
[12:28] <axle> are you erasing the old partition?
[12:28] <odahilys> burned at x12
[12:28] <odahilys> yes
[12:28] <odahilys> i formatted the old partion
[12:28] <odahilys> partition*
[12:28] <axle> i thought partitioning failed?
[12:28] <odahilys> on ubuntu seems as if, but not through MS-DOS
[12:29] <odahilys> The formatting went fine through that
[12:29] <Myrtti> odahilys: please keep your answers in one line
[12:29] <Zzeiss> odahilys: stupid question: did you run the "check the disk for errors" bit when you booted the burned CDRom?
[12:29] <Vailor> how do i reg my name if thats possible?
[12:29] <odahilys> Yes, of course. CD is fine
[12:30] <mickster04> odahilys, so how do u go about formatting it? have you made a / partition too?
[12:30] <Zzeiss> odahilys: and then it loads the install kernel, goes thru configuration just fine, and fails to repartition the disk?
[12:30] <mickster04> odahilys, also how much ram have u got?
[12:31] <odahilys> yes @ zzeiss
[12:31] <Zzeiss> odahilys: You might want to just do "take default partitioning" and see if that works.  It will destroy anything on the disk, but it might fix the problem...
[12:31] <odahilys> @ mick ; 4gb
[12:31] <mickster04> odahilys, u dont need swap then
[12:33] <mickster04> odahilys, but try the default option anyway:D
[12:34] <odahilys> Trying
[12:34] <arisa> hello again! another quick question...how would i add a new user to a successive series of groups from the console?

[12:46] <birger> kickass! puttying from my iphone to ssh :D
[12:47] <mickster04> dca_, well 9.04 comes in three "flavours" desktop, server and notebookremix
[12:47] <dca_> mickster04, desktop
[12:47] <mickster04> Netbookremix*
[12:48] <mickster04> dca_, hmm, im not really sure then....
[12:48] <dca_> mickster04, any pointers where i could help on this
[12:49] <mickster04> dca_, not from me :/ sorry
[12:49] <kiaas_> yay broken flash D: sounds like it's freezing but the video plays smoothly. the same fraction of a second playing repeatedly instead of continuing on :/
[12:50] <mickster04> kiasas what has happened that might have broken it?
[12:50] <dca_> mickster04, thanks
[12:51] <mickster04> dca_, sorry
[12:51] <kiaas_> mickster04, I dunno. I have one plugin, disabled, and long uptime. It used to happen once every few months, this is the 4th time this month.
[12:52] <mickster04> oh well thats wierd, you using the latest flash player
[12:52] <kiaas_> mickster04, up to date,so if the latest is in the repos, then yes.
[12:53] <mickster04> kiaas_, hmm no idea then :/ i'm good for basic stuff, but if its sporadic like that...:/
[12:56] <kiaas_> mickster04, I've had other problems recently. Gnome losing its theme, firefox crashing, X crashing, then the system locking up but no kernel panic... wondering if it's bad RAM, actually. But flash repeating the same fraction of a second for the entire audio is a pretty odd bug, and I don't encounter it when I run the windows version of flash and firefox under WINE.(I just get a bit of shearing on the video with that)
[12:56] <Alexia> would anyone mind to check that this page loads ok http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/20860/
[12:57] <nibbler> Alexia:  loads here
[12:57] <Alexia> thanks nibbler
[12:58] <Alexia> nibbler, did you base your name on the futurama character Nibbler?
[12:59] <nibbler> Alexia: yes
[12:59] <Alexia> nibbler, I love that show
[12:59] <mickster04> loaded for me too
[12:59] <Alexia> nibbler, well i better not talk about it or they will ask me to move to offtopic lol
[12:59] <Alexia> mickster04, thanks
[12:59] <nibbler> Alexia: love it too, but yep... back to ubuntu :)
[13:01] <Alexia> I cant believe how quiet it is in here right now
[13:02] <kiaas_> It happens.
[13:03] <Alexia> does ubuntu have any User Interface guidelines like mac does?
[13:03] <Kingsy102> I have a process on my desktop now that isnt responding how do you crash out of it ?
[13:03] <Alexia> Kingsy102, alt+f2 xkill
[13:04] <Kingsy102> thanks
[13:04] <Alexia> yw
[13:04] <Ubersoldat> Alexia: Ubuntu perse no, but KDE and GNOME do have UIGs
[13:05] <Alexia> does gnome stand for gnu is not the only mac emulator
[13:05] <Alexia> lol
[13:05] <LordMetroid> Wow ubuntu is developing an app store of their own, I think this is great
[13:06] <LordMetroid> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore?action=show&redirect=AppCenter if you want to influence how it will be designed I recommend you go to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18538/
[13:06] <grawity> Alexia: Ubuntu doesn't have its own GUI -- it uses GNOME (or KDE on Kubuntu), and so GNOME's guidelines apply - http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/
[13:06] <Ubersoldat> Alexia: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/
[13:06] <Alexia> LordMetroid, Yep its definitely exciting
[13:06] <Alexia> Thanks graw and Uber
[13:06] <loop8> when the screensaver is activated with password protection, is there any way a potential attacker could gain control over the computer without having the password and *without* restarting the computer? does CTRL+ALT+<- work?
[13:06] <onexused> Alexia: Gnu Network Object Model Environment or something
[13:06] <Alexia> onexused, i know i was just being silly
[13:07] <onexused> Alexia: Ah.  I must be tired : )
[13:07] <Alexia> loop8, not that i know of
[13:07] <grawity> loop8: Yes, you can switch virtual consoles with Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2/F3/...
[13:07] <grawity> loop8: But they also require a password.
[13:08] <loop8> grawity: yup, they also require a password.
[13:08] <Alexia> loop8, but there are probably exploits for remote access via a network interface, no system is ever 100% secure
[13:08] <LordMetroid> Alexia, I think this can be a big break-through for the Ubuntu userbase, specially if they allow commercial software repositories to be added
[13:09] <Alexia> LordMetroid, I think so too, it will be nice to see it when it opens. I hope it will be somewhat like the appstore on the i-phone
[13:09] <LordMetroid> I hope it will be better
[13:09] <LordMetroid> I want it decentralized
[13:10] <Ubersoldat> first thing I will uninstall
[13:10] <Alexia> LordMetroid, oh you mean not controlled by just one authority?
[13:10] <LordMetroid> Yes
[13:10] <Ubersoldat> I just hope it's made with mono, that way I'll purge'em alltogether
[13:10] <LordMetroid> I added two suggestion on how to do this in the brainstorm page
[13:10] <Alexia> LordMetroid, i wonder if it will end up being like download.com in an application
[13:11] <Ubersoldat> s/altogether/alltogether
[13:12] <axle> hey
[13:12] <mickster04> hi
[13:12] <Alexia> i still dont really understand what makes it different from synaptic though
[13:12] <kiaas_> Alexia, probably a means to pay for it built in.
[13:12] <zopiac> for some reason only one program can use audio at once, for some reason (or something) is there a fix?
[13:13] <Alexia> kiaas_, well if it ends up offering commercial linux software all in one place that will be great
[13:13] <no0tic> hienvh, I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on a HP mini 2133, I created a bootable usb stick with unetbootin but I can't boot from it on the netbook, what could the problem be?
[13:13] <Alexia> kiaas_, but if its just another download manager it would be a waste of time
[13:14] <onexused> zopiac: ALSA programs dont' do that.  Only old OpenSoundSystem (OSS) programs do, afaik.
[13:14] <NeXstaR> struggling to upgrade / update openoffice 3.0 to 3.1 :(
[13:14] <Alexia> no0tic, did you set the computer to load from usb in the bios?
[13:14] <no0tic> Alexia, yes
[13:14] <zopiac> like, if i open rhythmbox, i can hear it, but if i open audacity after it i cant hear it, and vice versa
[13:14] <Alexia> no0tic, how far do you get? does it load at all?
[13:14] <no0tic> hienvh, sorry, I meant "hi" :)
[13:15] <zopiac> onexused: well i have my sound preferences set to ALSA...
[13:15] <no0tic> Alexia, no, it doesn't load from usb, it boots directly into the installed grub
[13:16] <hienvh> no0tic, hehe its ok,hello you too :)
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  on my netbooks i got to hit F12 to tell it to boot from USB
[13:16] <Alexia> no0tic, have you tried recreating the bootdisk again? or a seperate bootable usb?
[13:16] <zopiac> Alexia, no0tic: i have tried esc on an eeePC to get it working
[13:16] <no0tic> Dr_Willis, on this one is F9, and I told it to boot from usb
[13:16] <Alexia> zopiac, Oh i didnt know that netbooks required you to do that,, Thanks
[13:16] <Dr_Willis>   no0tic  ive also had issues with some machines and usb flash drive combox in the past. Try the flash on other machines, and try other flash disks on that machine.
[13:17] <zopiac> some might, i dont know if all do though
[13:17] <Alexia> zopiac, for telling me
[13:17] <GPL> how to restore Ubuntu into its factory settings ?? well, i think i messed up with Radeon and RadeonHD, and now when i login, a White Screen comes and overlaps/hiding everything xcept the mouse :( cant do anything ? how to get over this situation ???
[13:17] <no0tic> Alexia, I first tried copying the iso with dd directly on the device, nothing. then using unetbootin and the iso I downloaded, nothing. then unetbooting making it download the iso from its menu
[13:18] <Alexia> zopiac, im suprised there isnt a page about that on the ubuntu netbook remix website
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  You did partition/format the device back fo fat16 after trying to dd it with that iso?
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  you could also try the ubuntu netbook remix img and 'dd' it to the device.
[13:18] <no0tic> Dr_Willis, no
[13:18] <Alexia> what does dd mean? deliver to disk?
[13:18] <no0tic> Dr_Willis, the remix release is know not to work well on this hardware
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  i would use gparted to repartition/format it back to a sane state then try unetbootin again.
[13:18] <zopiac> Alexia: i found it out on the easy peasy irc, iirc
[13:19] <Alexia> zopiac, lol
[13:19] <Alexia> zopiac, Well Gawlee lol
[13:19] <Alexia> zopiac, lol i still cant believe people ever talked like that rofl
[13:19] <no0tic> Dr_Willis, ok, I'll try.. strange thing is that the netbook doesn't even tell me that the usb disk is not bootable
[13:20] <s1> hi, does apache2 have a lockfile or something?
[13:20] <s1> it complains not being able to bind to port 80
[13:21] <s1> but when I check with netstat nothing comes up as being bound to :80
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  dding an iso file to a flash drive may confuse all sorts of things.
[13:25] <gangil> I have a .cue file , does anyone know which application opens it?
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  no .bin to go with it?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> cue/bin = a  optical disk 'image' format.
[13:26] <gangil> yeah .bin too
[13:26] <llutz> gangil: cdrdao
[13:26] <gangil> Brasero Disc Burner?
[13:26] <gangil> will that work?
[13:26] <distant_voice> hallo, my sound effects are much too low and I can't turn it up (the mixer has no effect). what's wrong?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> theres tools that can mount it, or you can burn it. k3b i think canburn them also. Or covnert it to ISO then most anything can burn it.
[13:26] <Glib> Can anyone give me update simple instruction on getting online via a cable modem witht he latest version of Ubuntu Desktop please?
[13:26] <GPL> how to restore Ubuntu into its factory settings ?? well, i think i messed up with Radeon and RadeonHD, and now when i login, a White Screen comes and overlaps/hiding everything xcept the mouse :( cant do anything ? how to get over this situation ??? help
[13:27] <mobi-sheep> reload
[13:27] <Glib> Just need to set up a connection.  is there a wizard at all?
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  you could try removeing/moving the /etc/X11/xorg.conf  to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.GOOFEDUP and restatrt X and see if that kicks it in the head. :) Or check out the fix X feature thats in the recovery boot menu (never tried that)
[13:28] <Glib> Nobody?
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  my cable modem.. i just plug the network cable into the pc.. set pc to use DHCP and away it goes.
[13:28] <Glib> "set pc to use dhcp"
[13:28] <IonutB> how can i update my gnome from 2.24.1 to 2.26.1 ( i'm using Ubuntu 8.10 )
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  or Plug it into my router.. and pcs to the router.
[13:28] <llutz> Glib: sudo dhclient eth0
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> DHCP is the default i belive also.
[13:29] <Glib> Yup, tried that command, no leases obtained.
[13:29] <distant_voice> can anybody help with my sound problems?
[13:29] <sybux> hi again !
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  does it work in windows? did it work with a different machine? has it ever worked?
[13:29] <GPL> Dr_Willis: actually i already tried that, problem is, it logins well, but after about 13/14 seconds , when the wallpaper and panels all get visible, a white screen comes up and hides everything :(
[13:29] <Glib> Windows just works.
[13:29] <Glib> Yeah, windows works fine, no problems./
[13:29] <sybux> can someone know how to display a text file in shell in color ?
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  make a new user see if it affects them. Does the GDM login screen work?
[13:29] <Glib> I'm using the connection to connect to this chat room.
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  theres 'colorizing' tools  out there depending on your needs.
[13:30] <boscop> hey, I can't see my windows partition :(
[13:30] <GPL> Dr_Willis: it's affecting all the users, it's something related with radeonhd the driver i installed and then restarted my comp.
[13:30] <sybux> Dr_Willis: I just want to cat a file and see the result in color
[13:30] <Glib> The network card in the ubuntu box works fine - it can be connected to the hub and see other LAN machines just fine, using the same cable.
[13:30] <mickster04> distnhave you made sure every available slider is turned up? including the ones not shown by default?
[13:31] <Glib> You'd think there'd be step by step instructions somewhere online for this.
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  then you just print out some color  'escape' code or put it at the start of the text file.
[13:31] <sybux> Dr_Willis: I've try t insert ansi code in my text file but ot dosen't work
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  the 'bash prompt howto' has some info on those codes.
[13:31] <gangil> I have used magic ISO , I dont want to burn the s/w to a disc , can't I browse it directly from BRasero and install it?
[13:31] <mickster04> distant_voice,  you made sure every available slider is turned up? including the ones not shown by default?
[13:31] <GPL> Dr_Willis: i even dont know, how to get on the CUI interface of Ubuntu, to try configuring the driver a bit
[13:31] <distant_voice> mickster04: it worked before and now it doesn't. every slider is at max, but they don't seem to have any effect
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  so the gdm login screen dosent work either then you are saying?
[13:32] <mickster04> distant_voice, what has changed inbetween?
[13:32] <IonutB> Dr_Willis, do you know how can update Gnome 2.24.1 to 2.26.1 ? ( it's appears as the latest in my Package Manager )
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> IonutB:  use thepacakge manger to upgrade/update - is the normal way...
[13:32] <distant_voice> mickster04: nothing, I might have installed updates, but that would be all
[13:32] <Glib> Nobody then?
[13:32] <IonutB> Dr_Willis, i have Ubuntu 8.10 :)
[13:32] <GPL> Drwillis : actually yes, GDM login screen works
[13:32] <boscop> what can I do to make my windows partition show up?
[13:32] <Glib> Seems like a farely elementary problem.
[13:32] <gangil> :-/
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  hmmm.. it Could be a compiz issue.. You could try installing icewm (for example) and see if you can select that at GDM and login properly
[13:33] <mickster04> distant_voice, what sliders have you got up? and what system are you using?
[13:33] <Glib> Windows has Internet connection wizards and stuff, so that people don't have to become experts int he operating system to do somethign as simple as get online.
[13:33] <distant_voice> mickster04: I can change the master volume with keys on my keyboard. that new graphic (the one that was new with 9.04) comes up but it has absolutely no effect.
[13:33] <GPL> Dr_Willis: how to do that ?
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  i think you need to dig a little more into trouble shooting. It sounds like it may just be a DHCP/DNS/gateway issue.
[13:33] <distant_voice> I'm on ubuntu/gnome 9.04
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  'sudo apt-get install icewm' then restart X/GDM and select icewm at the login screen
[13:33] <Glib> IN what sense?
[13:34] <GPL> Dr_Willis: i am logged in with a Live USB
[13:34] <Glib> I mean, I plug the cable into the windows box - works, plug it into the linux box - doesnt.
[13:34] <_tj> how can I tell if i can SSH into my box from outside the network?
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  try pinging google.com, then try pinging its  IP#. is a good 'test'
[13:34] <Glib> It's brand spanking fresh instal.
[13:34] <Glib> I've done that.
[13:34] <bradh79> i cant get my ubuntu to display colour on my pal crt tv :(
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  ah...  you dident say you were switching machines.. :) i thouhg you were dual booting
[13:34] <Glib> sudo dhcpd eth0 offers no lease.
[13:34] <bradh79> windows7 displays colour but ubuntu wont
[13:34] <tillk> #ubuntu
[13:34] <mickster04> distant_voice, wat pc/laptop?
[13:35] <Glib> No, 2 machines.
[13:35] <bradh79> neither will opensuse for that matter
[13:35] <Boohbah> _tj: by doing it
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  on my OLD isp. each time i changed machines i HAD to go to a special 'activate this machine' Web site to get the  machine 'ok'd for my isp
[13:35] <IonutB> Dr_Willis, do you know if intel x3100 still has problems on Ubuntu 9.04 ?
[13:35] <bradh79> i have a 7600gt video card
[13:35] <_tj> eh
[13:35] <_tj> i dont have a way..
[13:35] <distant_voice> my sound card is on board, it's a normal desktop pc
[13:35] <Glib> That isn't required in this instance.
[13:35] <Boohbah> _tj: how about connecting to your public IP?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  Not sure if thats your issue or not.  Its one of the reasons i got a router. less hassles.
[13:35] <distant_voice> Athlon 3800+, Nvidia graphics card, 2GB ram... what do you want to know?
[13:35] <kiran_> hello anyone can inform whether linux mint support ntfs system
[13:36] <Glib> I'm seting up this ubuntu machien to be a router/firewall.
[13:36] <IdleOne> !mint
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> kiran_:  mosta ll distros do these days.
[13:36] <GPL> Dr_Willis: is there some way, to get in the CUI ?
[13:36] <Boohbah> kiran_: yes
[13:36] <mickster04> distant_voice, thatll do
[13:36] <sybux> Dr_Willis: I can't find what I need. I just want to display the motd in color (not all, only some parts)
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> gpl the grub menu has a rescue/recvovery option normally
[13:36] <mickster04> distant_voice, i basically have little idea....
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  then you will have to  figure out how to embed some escape codes.
[13:36] <GPL> Dr_Willis: thanks, i ll be back shortly
[13:37] <distant_voice> too bad. I can hear sound, but it's very faint. sometimes when I boot it's normal, other times it's like this
[13:37] <distant_voice> this is frustrating
[13:37] <mickster04> distant_voice, sorry
[13:37] <Glib> Is there really no a step by step guide somewhere?
[13:37] <distant_voice> mickster04 thx anyway
[13:37] <Glib>   People are exptected to just know?
[13:37] <sybux> Dr_Willis: I've embed escape code but cat display escape code in stead of color :(
[13:37] <mickster04> distant_voice, is there a program u run that may effect the sound? or have some control over it?
[13:37] <Glib> This is why windows kicks linuxes ass.
[13:37] <llutz> Glib: there are only 2. steps: "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" and "sudo dhclient eth0"
[13:38] <IdleOne> Glib: why not state your issue, tell us what you have tried and stop your whining
[13:38] <distant_voice> do you think maybe movie player might screw my mixer up?
[13:38] <IdleOne> for ranting and raving about windows please go to ##windows
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  you might also need to power off for a few sec.. the cable modem while switching machines.
[13:38] <mickster04> distant_voice, try and make sure that the volume is turned up on that when you close it see if that has an effect yes in other words
[13:38] <Glib> Erm, why not be so rude, and notice that I have been stating the issue.
[13:38] <distant_voice> you know that new thingy in the upper right corner that displays stuff like "new mail" and also the volume and stuff?
[13:38] <Boohbah> Glib: because you can't figure out how to use it?
[13:39] <distant_voice> when i try to turn the volume up with my keyboard keys it comes up and the slider changes but the volume doesn't
[13:39] <Glib> what because I can't figure out how to use it?
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  perhaps check -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/adding-colors-to-your-motd-105038/
[13:39] <distant_voice> that makes me thing something more basic is wrong
[13:39] <arvind_k> !unet | arvind_k
[13:39] <distant_voice> *think
[13:39] <IdleOne> Glib: I'm not scrolling back 2000 lines you need help then ask us again, politely
[13:40] <Glib> I don't need your help idleone, you're rude, leave me alone.
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> a pastebin summary of the entire setup is often helpfull also.
[13:40] <mickster04> distant_voice, no idae then, try manually doing it if u can to see if that works?
[13:40] <bazhang> Glib, please be civil
[13:40] <t__Eest> I try install a gl 2.0.1 but at the end I give Connection Reset by Peer(10054) if I connect outside the ftp on local all work fine
[13:40] <t__Eest> any help?
[13:40] <distant_voice> ya I tried, but to no avail
[13:40] <IdleOne> Glib: good luck. you can't get your machine online but it's going to be a router/firewall :)
[13:40] <distant_voice> mickster04, well, I'm outta here. thank you
[13:40] <Glib> I have been entirely civil.  That's the guy who just told me I was whinning.
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> sybux:   also rember the motd is generated on the fly at boot time. You may need to set up rc.local to 'remake it properly' wity your color codes
[13:40] <arvind_k> !net
[13:40] <bazhang> Glib, please restate your issue
[13:41] <steve_> distant_voice have you tried changing the device that the keyboard is controlling in admin--> sound prefferances?
[13:41] <arvind_k> !install
[13:41] <bazhang> arvind_k, /msg ubottu please
[13:41] <hadi-fa3or> .org
[13:41] <arvind_k> bazhang, sorry
[13:41] <sybux> Dr_Willis: it's just for personalized motd .
[13:42] <Glib> I have a machine running Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 - an entirely fresh instal - when I plug it into the LAN hub, it can see other machines, when I unplug it from the hub, and into the cable modem, I do not get online, even though the cable connection works fine on a windows machine, as evidence by connection to this chat room.,
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  i followed that url i just posted and made a little 'colortest' file that was colorized using cat. :)
[13:42] <ikonia> Glib: you'll probably have to setup the modem authentication
[13:42] <Critical_Threat> running ubuntu 7.10, i changed my 'computer' icon manually and used icon themes for the rest. when i change my icon theme,. the computer icon doesn't change with it. how do i fix it?
[13:42] <Glib> sudo dhclient eth0 has no luck in finding a lease.
[13:43] <Glib> What do you mean by that?
[13:43] <ikonia> Glib: few modems will just plugin and work, you'll have to setup the authentication most probabably
[13:43] <Glib> ikonia
[13:43] <llutz> ikonia: not with cable-modems
[13:43] <Glib> What do you mean by that?
[13:43] <ikonia> Glib: when you connect to your ISP it normally wants a username/password to verify you are allowed to use the connection
[13:43] <kiran_> HOW to install metacity themes
[13:43] <Xerran> Question, is it necessary to shutdown running programs before running updates?
[13:43] <t__Eest> can someone help me with Connection Reset by Peer(10054) ?
[13:43] <sybux> Dr_Willis: yep me too. just have to find now how to write it as I want and not in command line !
[13:43] <cryptobeacon> Xerran: no
[13:43] <Glib> Okay, and where to entire that username and password?
[13:43] <bazhang> Xerran, no
[13:43] <ikonia> Xerran: you'll be warned if it's a problem
[13:43] <llutz> ikonia: authentication is done inside modem (cable-isp uses modem-MAC)
[13:43] <Critical_Threat> ikonia, that's usually for DLS modems though
[13:43] <Xerran> cryptobeacon: thx
[13:44] <Critical_Threat> ikonia, is that what he using ?
[13:44] <ikonia> Critical_Threat: while I agree, this is worth checking
[13:44] <Xerran> ikonia: thx
[13:44] <Glib> Yeah, I never needed to do that for the windows machine.
[13:44] <Xerran> bazhang: thx
[13:44] <Glib> for dial-up sure, but this is cable.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  make rc.local 'generate' the motd at boot time with the proper commands.. working with the escape/color codes can be a real annoyance.
[13:44] <Critical_Threat> ikonia, yes it is
[13:44] <bazhang> Glib, are you hot plugging the cable modem line? or starting with it plugged in already
[13:44] <Glib> I never entered any passwords or did any authentication for windows.
[13:44] <Glib> Hot plugging.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. My ISP  dosent have a username/pass :) well not for the pc conecting..
[13:45] <ikonia> Glib: ok - so lets move away from the authentication area as a problem
[13:45] <Critical_Threat> this sucks, i gotta jet for work now.. argh. :(
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> BUt i do have to power off the cable modem if i change machines I recall.
[13:45] <Boohbah> Critical_Threat: irc from work!
[13:45] <bazhang> Glib, and have you tried starting up with the cable modem connected, ie not hot plugging?
[13:45] <sybux> Dr_Willis: the fact is that I've got a plain text to write and just add some part in color and I don't want to type all text with echo "bla bla bla" > ...
[13:45] <Critical_Threat> Boohbah, as do i :) see ya there
[13:45] <Glib> I'll give it a go, brb.
[13:45] <b3rz3rk3r> anyone else with jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. restarting ALSA doesnt solve it, but reboot the machines does. Suggestions?
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  use sed/awk/perl to alter the file i guess...
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  or do it once... save it to a file where it works..  Good luck.. personally I  do 'touch .hushlogin' so i never even see teh MOTD. :)
[13:46] <sybux> Dr_Willis: good answer. Thx
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> Tip of the Day  'touch .hushlogin'  and no more annoying MOTD. :)
[13:46] <Rabbitbunny> Anyone using the package alarm-clock that has had it actually make a repeating noise at a specified time?
[13:47] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, yeah, im using it, works alright
[13:47] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, having issues?
[13:48] <gangil> one more thing , how to append $PATH variable , and make the change permanent?
[13:48] <gangil> I mean the .bashrc thing?
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  path is defined in the users .profile i think
[13:48] <ulb> can you add a text only (no icon) launcher to the panel?
[13:48] <llutz> PATH="$PATH:/new/path/var"
[13:48] <gangil> sorry , I dont rem correctly :)
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  well at the end.. it adds bin to the path. :) you could alter that and add more to it there.
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  export PATH="$PATH:/new/path/var"
[13:49] <buch> hi.. anyone tired of bad flash preformance? I found this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193567), under the section "Flash Replacements".. Can anyone help me reprogram it to function with Gnome-Mplayer. And make it work with every swf, mpg - flash stuff that is around?
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  is one way.. if in .profile i dont ththink the export is needed.
[13:49] <Rabbitbunny> b3rz3rk3r: Yes, I haven't heard it once, and when I do wake up it isn't making any noise. The first thing I did was play a song, which works perfectly. I have it set to constant volume, infinite repetitions. No sound coming out.
[13:49] <gangil> to make this permanent , I should add it to .profile?
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  yes.. or .bashrc
[13:50] <Lord_Devi> sed question: "sed -i -e 's/ChangeThis/ToThisFoo' Bar.txt" is great for quickly searching and replacing within files, but what if "ChangeThis" occurs twice on the same line? Sed will only replace the first occurance on any given line, is there an easy way to make it replace all occurances found?
[13:50] <Rabbitbunny> b3rz3rk3r: I'm very hard of hearing / working two jobs, It's very important that's it's loud, annoying, and repetative.
[13:50] <maodun> To play an mp3, I typically type 'mplayer foo.mp3'. Now I want to output the sound to /dev/dsp1 - how can I do that with mplayer?
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> Lord_Devi:  i recall some sed faq/examples pages  mentioning that .. but  thats all i rember on teh topic. :()
[13:51] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, i dont use inf repeat, so maybe that is causing you problems? I have maxed out volume, playing a song by machinehead with a full passive window overlay, been waking up to it for about 4-5 months now
[13:51] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, try cranking the volume and playing a longer song once instead
[13:52] <Rabbitbunny> b3rz3rk3r: M'kay, that could work. Thanks.
[13:52] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, no prob
[13:53] <sicked> i need some help for installing Joomla.. can you help me????
[13:53] <talntid> heh. i just did that
[13:53] <nsahoo> is there any builtin method to access desktop of another ubuntu machine?
[13:53] <talntid> nsahoo, remote desktop
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:   yes. :) its built in.. ;)
[13:53] <nsahoo> talntid: isn't that only to access windows method?
[13:53] <arvind_k> Lord_Devi, there is global flag, i guess g, read the man pages
[13:53] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, you could also try something irritating too.. such as police siren sound effects or the frog on his motorbike ringtone :p
[13:53] <nsahoo> talntid: windows machine
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  using the remote-desktop over the internet - is proberly not a good idea. its using vnc thats not very secure.
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  there are vnc clients/servers for windows also.
[13:54] <Rabbitbunny> b3rz3rk3r: I used a car alarm before.
[13:54] <sicked> Guys can you help me with Joomla?
[13:54] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, haha, nice
[13:54] <sicked> i don't know how to install it
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> !info joomla
[13:54] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: what is terminal server client tool for?
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  about the same thing i think. Ive only used vnc.
[13:54] <sicked> i'm on windows actually
[13:54] <Lord_Devi> arvind_khadri: hrm. sg/foo/bar/ then maybe? Thanks, I'll try it I guess
[13:54] <sicked> i just need someone who explains me how to install it
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> sicked:  i wonder if anyone in here even knows what it is.
[13:55] <nsahoo> talntid: Dr_Willis: so, what do I need to do on the remote ubuntu machine?
[13:55] <b3rz3rk3r> nsahoo, id say use SSH, or if you want something like VNC/RDP use FreeNX.. i like that too, its based on SSH too. check it out
[13:55] <sicked> Dr_Willis: Windows or Joomla?? :)
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  system->preferances->remote_desktop
[13:55] <boscop> anyone knows how I can get my windows partition show up in ubuntu?
[13:55] <Lord_Devi> arvind_khadri: Aha!  "s/foo/bar/g" =) I see I see, thanks again
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:   then on the other box use a vnc viweer and tell it the ip/port of the ubuntu box. 192.168.1.211:0   (or similer)
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Lord_Devi:  Hmm.. I use that all the time in vi. :)
[13:56] <arvind_khadri> Lord_Devi, np , :)
[13:56] <ulb> can you add a text only (no icon) launcher to the panel?
[13:56] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: thanks, is there a command name to launch that preference window? remote machine is remote now
[13:57] <Lord_Devi> Dr_Willis: I use s/foo/bar/ all the time in vi, but I've never bothered to figure out that global flag yet..
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  Not that i know of. You got to be on the local box and logged in for it to get enabled..
[13:57] <zopiac> is there a program to move the mouse with the arrow keys? my touchpad s broken
[13:57] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: vino-preferences
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  as an alterantive you can ssh in, install a vncserver, and configure it.. but that does NOT share the 'current running
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  as an alterantive you can ssh in, install a vncserver, and configure it.. but that does NOT share the 'current running desktop
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> vino >hic< ;)
[13:58] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: turns out the ssh server is not runnin there either .. oh well
[13:58] <talntid> or, run the programs via ssh -X ;)
[13:58]  * Dr_Willis wonders at these names of some of these commands...
[13:58] <ulb> and/or can I add another top level menu item (along with apllications, places, and system)?
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  its rather locked down then. :)
[13:58] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: new install
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  its VERY locked down then
[13:58] <thinkertinker> i deleted my files while using fsck. Now i cant boot as files are missing. any ideas to recover?
[13:58] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: thought, i'll go home and "do it from there"
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  :) good idea
[14:00] <nsahoo> btw, does anyone know how to make my router assign a fixed IP to the desktop? like 192.168.1.2 all the time
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  using vnc over the internet is not that good an idea. (it will be slow and insecure) better to ssh -X and  run apps and have them appar locally
[14:00] <joaopinto> thinkertinker, fsck does not delete files, the corrupting which forced you do use fsck did
[14:00] <maodun> ok, 'mplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp1 foo.mp3' outputs to the correct place - but how do I control the volume?
[14:00] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: ok
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  my router has that feature in its configs. :)
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  i can assign ip based on MAC.  and it rembers.
[14:00] <boscop> my usb-stick doesn't get recognized
[14:00] <b3rz3rk3r> nsahoo, yes, just use the web interface to add your desktops NIC MAC addrs to static
[14:00] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: i've got this router with fios modem from verizon, doesn't seem to have it
[14:01] <thinkertinker> joaopinto any solutions??
[14:02] <b3rz3rk3r> nsahoo, then you could just set your desktops IP manually and make it a permanent static route in the router
[14:02] <b3rz3rk3r> no MAC required
[14:02] <nsahoo> b3rz3rk3r: hmm
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> then you hear about people every week in here that hagve issues using 'static' ip's and the network manager. :(
[14:02] <zim> hi guys Remote Desktop Q. Can remote desktop connect to a listening server so I can deal with firewall rules my end ?
[14:03] <tim167> hello, how can I turn a text into ascii values, for example turn "this is some text" into: "116;104;105;115;32;105;115;32;115;111;109;101;32;116;101;120;116;" ?? thanks!
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> I used to set static all the time.. but dont need to now.
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> tim167:  a perl script.. or any other language you like.
[14:03] <grawity> tim167: echo "this is some text" | xxd
[14:03] <citrix> after restarting xen host I can't access domU any more by ssh or ping, only xm console is work  I try http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking but nothing appear wrong in my  domU

[14:05] <Bearfoot> anyone know a good way of avoiding to use bad clusers on a hdd?
[14:05] <tim167> hmm xxd doesn't give me what i need...
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> GPL:   if icewm worked.. then the graphics drivers work.. its compiz thats the issue..
[14:05] <gangil> has anybody tried to install ns2?
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  disable compiz perhaps.

[14:07] <Bearfoot> erUSUL, thanks will look into it
[14:07] <GPL> Dr_Willis: after i removed xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd and compiz, it' started, i didnt install icewm :) i had compiz working with radeon driver, i wanted to check if radeonhd works or not , because i 've X1300/X1550 Series, and acc. to it, RadeonHD shud work | i wanted to switch to radeonhd because i had problems with running OpenGL Rendering Softwares like Hippo OpenSim and Vdrift
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> zim:  ive heard of 'revese vnc' but never used it.
[14:07] <tim167> any other suggestions to turn "this is some text" into "116;104;105;115;32;105;115;32;115;111;109;101;32;116;101;120;116;" (ascii values)?
[14:07] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, looks like your machine has "forgotten" your wireless
[14:08] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, is it a laptop/desktop
[14:08] <b3rz3rk3r> ?

[14:09] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r:  is that enough? or do you need more information

[14:09] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, ah, is that with the nvida motherboard?
[14:09] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: I believe so, yes

[14:10] <thinkertinker> erilton did you install ubuntu?
[14:10] <GPL> Erilton: what's your problem ? why dont you ask the real question
[14:10] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: uh oh, the wireless worked fine last night, I was even connected
[14:10] <zim> Dr_Willis: I have used it but not with the default ubuntu remote desktop
[14:10] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, have you ensured that your switch is set to on when you booted up today?
[14:10] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, your wireless i mean
[14:10] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: I don't know the first time I booted up, but I know it was when I just booted up
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  purge/reinstall the packages - normally

[14:12] <arand> Erilton: The LiveCD will normally guide you through the dual-boot installation automatically, have you tried it?
[14:12] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, what colour is your wireless indicator now?
[14:13] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: Blue
[14:13] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, flashing?
[14:13] <bluebaron> where are cached deb files stored
[14:13] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: No, just solid blue
[14:13] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, so card is detected but not sending/receiving
[14:13] <thinkertinker> arand please warn Erilton not to choose the 'use entire disk' option while installation.
[14:13] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: or is the applet not working right?
[14:14] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: that same switch and card is used for my bluetooth, wich is working fine
[14:14] <b3rz3rk3r> try this to test that theory:  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[14:14] <jonii3> ok
[14:15] <jonii3> Ignoring unknown interface eth4=eth4.
[14:15] <jonii3> and it didn't restart my computer, if it was supposed to
[14:15] <arand> Erilton: Do take note of thinkertinker's comment there choose "install side by side" and NOT "use whole disk"
[14:16] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, no, just your netmanager applet

[14:29] <bluebaron> I think I ruined my whole Ubuntu installation just by installing apache2 manually ... how ridiculous is that?
[14:29] <mtlife> bluebaron: why would you want to install apache2 manually?
[14:30] <bluebaron> mtlife: because ubuntu's version doesn't include imageantialias from the GD library
[14:30] <MenZa> bluebaron: Can't you just, you know, find the module and install that?
[14:31] <bluebaron> MenZa: nope.  went through several forums.  had to compile apache2 manually ... what an effing mistake because now I have to reinstall Ubuntu

[14:37] <bluebaron> deany: there are so many files to remove from tons of different directories
[14:37] <deany> bluebaron, if you still have the folder you compiled with, then make uninstall
[14:38] <lukasz_> Can you help me ? pls ? [pomoże ktoś ?]
[14:38] <bluebaron> deany: there is no uninstall make conf function
[14:38] <Gnea> bluebaron: i'm pretty sure the log will prove otherwise, but if you say so.. at any rate, use the source from the repository, not from apache.org
[14:38] <deany> bluebaron, if not, then compile it again with same options, and make uninstall
[14:38] <deany> bluebaron, did you get the source from apache?
[14:38] <indus> lukasz_: yes
[14:39] <indus> lukasz_: what is the problem
[14:39] <bluebaron> deany: i asked in #httpd and teh response that I got was that there isn't an uninstall directive for apache's make file
[14:39] <deany> bluebaron, I like to keep the folder ive used for compiling/making in case I need to uninstall it later.

[14:41] <bluebaron> deany: imageantialias from the GD library
[14:41] <deany> bluebaron, if its a module, then the best thing is to compile the module and not the whole apache

[14:44] <bluebaron> Gnea: what time?
[14:45] <Gnea> bluebaron: perhaps you don't know how to interpret what that is. it's an irc log, from the 26th. Today is the 27th. Please, learn how to read and understand before telling someone that they're wrong.
[14:45] <IdleOne> Gnea: does it really matter now?

[14:49] <jonii3> it says nvidia a bazillion times, I think thats it
[14:49] <deany> bluebaron, its good practice when compiling to make a deb
[14:49] <Gnea> bluebaron: at this point, I would just reinstall ubuntu and try again. it sounds like you've really mucked it up.
[14:50] <bazhang> jonii3, please paste.ubuntu.com with the output

[15:02] <bluebaron> #httpd says that the only directory apache installs into is /usr/local/apache2 ... i confirmed this with the make file but apache still wont install ... now I'm thinking that it's just ubuntu
[15:02] <Guest28179> or is there a possibility just making an update like updating the programs
[15:02] <Guest28179> this would be great
[15:03] <mtlife> Guest28179: yes would be safe, i did a backup too before i upgraded. And there is a possibility like updating programs

[15:05] <jonii3> i'm sorry if that is against the rules, but they do have legel torrents on pirate bay
[15:05] <mtlife> Guest28179: yes it is just an update, but just to be safe i would copy it. Depends on how much you care if you lose it
[15:05] <bazhang> jonii3, please stop that discussion now.
[15:05] <holister> prince_jammys: trying...but it IS an ubuntu-specific problem...they'll probably just send me back here...
[15:05] <mattos> hi, I am having trouble with my sound on Hardy. when I play music on my Rhythmbox I cannot hear a sound from a youtube site on my fire fox... is there a solution for this??
[15:05] <Guest28179> okay

[15:06] <holister> prince_jammys: whoever made the ubuntu package decided not to include the shared memory configure flag when they compiled it... there has to be a way around this though...all distributions have there reasons and methodologies for optional stuff

[15:10] <prince_jammys> holister: yeah, i didn't mean it as if you were off-topic.
[15:11] <prince_jammys> holister: but since there's a few ubunters in #php ...
[15:11] <sipior> sinthetek: in fact, you can verify this by checking the entry for root in /etc/shadow. the second field should contain a "!" or the like.

[15:14] <varius> why does logging on over putty take so long after installing cups? is there a fix? like after i type in the username it takes like 3-5 seconds for Password: to appear.
[15:14] <Snake23> is there a difference between "sudo su" and "sudo -i"
[15:14] <sipior> Snake23: yes, you're better off just using sudo directly (sudo -i)
[15:15] <detour1> i have a problem when i open a terminal in 9.04...i cannot type or paste a lower case s ....upper case is ok....root terminal works fine....all apps work fine....did a keyboard swap and same problem....any suggestions on where to look?
[15:15] <sipior> Snake23: sudo will log all commands made under its purview, where su does not.
[15:15] <unop> Snake23, sudo su -- makes su redundant as sudo already elevates you to the superuser, it makes it read as make me superuser to make me superuser again.
[15:15] <Snake23> sipior and unop :  ok thanks ;)

[15:18] <sipior> kannan01: in any event, if you have a separate /home partition, you can simply reinstall, being very careful to ensure that the partition holding /home is not targeted for formatting.

[15:42] <sayanriju> Elmnas, just convert the rpm named AWCommon-server-11.5-19.i686.rpm to .deb?
[15:42] <Elmnas> I trying to install autodesk maya I following this guide --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66859
[15:43] <Elmnas> yeah
[15:43] <Elmnas> exactly
[15:43] <sayanriju> Elmnas, try to follow the guide exactly.
[15:43] <Innomen> why would the os make every indication of seeing the card but then do absolutly nothing with it?
[15:43] <Elmnas> I do that.
[15:43] <Elmnas> but I get this error..
[15:44] <sayanriju> Elmnas, to convert just one package, there's no need for the for loop
[15:44] <Elmnas> ?
[15:44] <sayanriju> Elmnas, simply alien -cv AWCommon-server-11.5-19.i686.rpm

[15:46] <cjk> any idea?
[15:46] <Boops> legend 2440, how?
[15:46] <sayanriju> Boops, you can do that if you like, but they are supposed to be run in a terminal
[15:47] <heoa> How can I email the newline "\n" from CLI like ...
[15:47] <heoa> ... http://pastebin.com/d1dc5f585 ?
[15:47] <Boops> Ahh, okay
[15:47] <legend2440> Boops: in terminal  type  sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager
[15:47] <prince_jammys> heoa: echo -e
[15:47] <sayanriju> Boops, it will then list some packages which you might want to install if you like

[15:47] <grawity> heoa: echo -e
[15:48] <grawity> heoa: and, you don't need the spaces before/after \n
[15:48] <Boops> sayanriju, I ddid that, nothing happened, just another command prompt.
[15:48] <grawity> heoa: So echo -n "Hey,\n\nblah" | mutt

[15:48] <heoa> prince_jammys: grawity very cool, thank you.
[15:48] <sayanriju> Boops, check legend2440 's suggestion
[15:49] <sayanriju> viz. sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager
[15:49] <Boops> legend2440 there was error message: could not get lock blah blah... could not lock administrator directory.

[15:50] <Boops> legend2440, that worked a bit, but now: Package is not available, but is refered to by another package
[15:50] <zopiac> or is there another analog clock like it that does that?
[15:50] <Boops> Why doesn't this just come pre-installed?
[15:51] <christophe_> gdeskapplets?
[15:52] <legend2440> Boops: open synaptic and look for  gnome-device-manager and try to install it from synaptic
[15:52] <Boops> I tried that before comming to this channel, no matches
[15:52] <Boops> legend2440^
[15:53] <legend2440> Boops: enable universe repo
[15:53] <Boops> legend2440: What?
[15:54] <legend2440> Boops:  in synaptic open  Settings>Repositories and put checkmatk next to univers
[15:54] <christophe_> in your software sources... enable universe repo
[15:54] <legend2440> checkmark
[15:54] <deany> I wouldnt gnome-device-manager a "manager" of sorts.  It just displays info
[15:55] <deany> Hardinfo has a little more to it.
[15:56] <christophe_> uncheck source code, in software sources...
[15:56] <Boops> legend2440: do you mean "community maintained open source software"?
[15:56] <Boops> lened2440: if so it's already checked.
[15:57] <legend2440> Boops: yes its second one down wit (universe) at end?
[15:57] <Boops> Yeah
[15:57] <sayanriju> Boops, try reloading the packag elist using sudo apt-get update
[15:57] <zopiac> what are some alternate analog panel clocks that I can use?
[15:57] <Boops> "using"  What do mean by "using"?

[15:59] <Boops> syanriju: done that, now what?
[15:59] <Boops> sayanriju, that is
[15:59] <sayanriju> Boops, try sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager
[15:59] <Organized> Hey there
[15:59] <Guest30081> I have jaunty installed on the 64 bit double quadcore machine, and it lists me 16 cpus instead of 8.
[15:59] <Elmnas> brb
[15:59] <Guest30081> anybody has any idea why?
[16:00] <Guest30081> it also lists my rs232 device twice even though only one is connected.
[16:00] <Organized> I installed JuK (KDE Music Player) but then i dont get any tone out of my notebook. No system-sounds, nothing. How can this be possible?
[16:00] <MikeSeth> Guest30081: that's what you see in /proc/cpuinfo?
[16:00] <Guest30081> I mean rs232 to usb.
[16:00] <Guest30081> yep.
[16:00] <christophe_> ALSA problems?
[16:00] <Boops> It's great how everything just works in linux isn't it.
[16:00] <Organized> christophe_, everything is like it was before the installation
[16:00] <Guest30081> it lists me cpu 0 through 15 with two physical ids.
[16:00] <MikeSeth> Guest30081: what happens when you run e.g. htop
[16:01] <MikeSeth> Guest30081: maybe every core you have is dual core :P
[16:01] <Guest30081> nothing has changed since the install.
[16:01] <Boops> sayanriju, or legend2440, that seems to have installed, now what?
[16:01] <barnsey> Boops, heh yeah, it's a problem. It's not really an OS for people who aren't too bright.
[16:01] <Guest30081> may be a kernel upgrade, but it ppears like that in the older kernel as well.
[16:01] <zebuduflea> Hello , i have .rpm package on ubuntu that im runnin in a vmware box, im using alien to change it into .deb package but i get an error message
[16:01] <sayanriju> barnsey, +1
[16:01] <zebuduflea> can you help me through it?
[16:01] <qwyeth> Boops:  What exactly is not working that requires you to look at a 'device manager?'
[16:01] <arand> zebuduflea: specify error message.
[16:02] <Anarhist> how do i set-up VPN?
[16:02] <Boops> barnsey: who people who just want to get to the part where they use their computer for some functionality instead of spending days setting it up.
[16:02] <legend2440> Boops: open Applications>System Tools>Device Manager
[16:02] <Guest30081> no it's not dual core. I have two quad-core cpu's.
[16:02] <MikeSeth> Anarhist: define 'setup vpn'
[16:02] <zebuduflea> i cant copy paste from vmware coz im trying now to install the vmware tools
[16:02] <barnsey> Boops, then use Windows. Is someone forcing you to use *nix?
[16:02] <MikeSeth> Guest30081: kernel version? dual core amd64 shows normally here
[16:03] <sayanriju> barnsey, +1 again
[16:03] <Boops> barnsey, what exactly is your problem?
[16:03] <qwyeth> barnsey:  I disagree... For most desktop users' needs, I've found Ubuntu to require less configuration than Windows, not more.
[16:03] <zebuduflea> but is says something like mkdir: cannont create directory "Vmware tools : read-only file system
[16:03] <Guest30081> kernel is 2.6.28-14-generic
[16:03] <barnsey> qwyeth same,but I'm not the one complaining.
[16:03] <dwarder> Please install /usr/bin/time.
[16:03] <amnesia> Hi, does anyone over here know someting 'bout permissions of folders?
[16:03] <dwarder> what do i need to install?
[16:03] <Qwindoo> Hi, I'm on a dual-boot Vista/Karmic and all of a sudden grub doesn't load anymore : it shows "GRUB Loading stage1.5" and maybe one second later the laptop reboots by itself before I could see (the boot menu)! I suspect it's due to some Vista updates I applied earlier today... any advice?
[16:04] <zebuduflea> the package is in cdrom directory , maybe i should move it from here?
[16:04] <Cpudan80> amnesia: yes - ask your real question though
[16:04] <amnesia> mkay
[16:04] <Koenigsegg> Any skilled network ppl? I'm trying to connect my WII to my wired internet via a laptop with wired&wireless. Wireless adhoc shows up on WII, but it seems the laptop never receives any data.
[16:04] <amnesia> well I want to make sure a folder is only accessible for the root
[16:04] <qwyeth> Boops, barnsey:  What's bothering me here is that the 'issue' here as I understand it isn't that something doesn't work, it's that the user is looking for something that resembles a windows configuration tool.
[16:04] <Anarhist> MikeSeth, i have an access to VPN (IPREDator) i know through what server to connect, etc, what i don't know is where to do that on ubuntu. "Network Connections" dialogue has VPN tab, but the "Add" button (and all other buttons) are disabled
[16:04] <amnesia> already chmodded it recursively with 777
[16:04] <Cpudan80> amnesia: then chown the folder to root
[16:04] <barnsey> Boops, my problem is you saying things like "It's great how everything just works in linux isn't it." like it's not your fault you can't set things up when most people can. Again I say, it's not an OS for people who aren't good at problem solving or reading. There's already an OS for those people - Windows
[16:04] <Boops> And barnsey, I do use windows for most things, as it's a superior OS, but for this I need linux.
[16:04] <amnesia> chown root:root /pathtofolder
[16:04] <Cpudan80> amnesia: 777 makes it open for everyone
[16:04] <amnesia> 700*\
[16:05] <Cpudan80> right
[16:05] <Cpudan80> ok 700 is better :-)
[16:05] <amnesia> but I already chmodded it
[16:05] <Elmnas> can someone help me with a installation error please
[16:05] <barnsey> Boops, good luck getting any help now anyway :)
[16:05] <amnesia> and the root is already the owner
[16:05] <Cpudan80> If a folder is chmodded to 700 and root is the owner - you're done
[16:05] <amnesia> drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20480 2009-08-27 16:41 .
[16:05] <Boops> I'll tell you what I like, people who thrust themselves into a situation to pick a fight, when they could have just walke don by.
[16:05] <Cpudan80> amnesia: that's not the right permissions
[16:05] <hadi-fa3or> im installing ubuntu from ubuntu installer i need to ask what is the "Accessibilty profile" ????
[16:05] <amnesia> well I'm still able to list the files with another account
[16:05] <Cpudan80> amnesia: that looks like 777
[16:05] <hadi-fa3or> im installing ubuntu from ubuntu installer i need to ask what is the "Accessibilty profile" ????
[16:06] <guntbert> !ot | Boops this is no place for fights, please
[16:06] <Boops> I don't need any help now, everything works fine, thanks fucker!
[16:06] <barnsey> Boops, I'll tell you what I like - people who want information spoonfed to them,and cry like infants when they don't get it. Love that.
[16:06] <Cpudan80> amnesia: sudo chmod 700 /path

[16:06] <amnesia> yeah already done that..
[16:06] <vanagonman> hi, I'm having trouble getting my usb ports to work
[16:07] <Boops> barnsey, yeah I like those people, people who just want to get some work done, without spending a day building there tools.
[16:07] <amnesia> my main account can still access it:S
[16:07] <arand> !grub | Qwindoo
[16:07] <d3g3r> hi ubuntu.  is there a way i can auto send/ auto send/receive in evolution?
[16:07] <barnsey> Boops the word is "their". You obviously had trouble learning other things.
[16:07] <proteusXX> help me about vidalia please
[16:07] <qwyeth> I wonder if I would have gotten that kind of help if I went into #windows and asked if there was 'something like dmesg'.
[16:07] <Qwindoo> arand: yeah, but the thing is apparently GRUB is still there (it shows "GRUB Loading, etc")
[16:07] <guntbert> barnsey: please keep to the topic - don't get into figth here :-)
[16:08] <guntbert> *fights
[16:08] <barnsey> guntbert, yeah, I couldn't resist when he started whining. All on topic now :)
[16:08] <amnesia> Cpudan80:  got any idea?
[16:08] <amnesia> drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20480 2009-08-27 16:41 .
[16:08] <hadi-fa3or> im installing ubuntu from ubuntu installer i need to ask what is the "Accessibilty profile" ????
[16:08] <Cpudan80> amnesia: you didn't chmod it to 700
[16:08] <Qwindoo> What could cause my computer to reboot by itself immediately upon loading GRUB?
[16:08] <amnesia> :s
[16:09] <Cpudan80> amnesia: sudo chmod 700 /path
[16:09] <arand> Qwindoo: yes, but it is seemingly unable to link mbr -> /boot/grub/* on the concerned partiiton, a reinstall might restore that link.
[16:09] <amnesia> this is what I did
[16:09] <amnesia> sudo chmod 700 /media/Ntfs/Usenet/.yeah\ bitch/
[16:09] <Innomen> is it possible to upgrade jaunty to karmic while it has no net access?

[16:09] <billy_maze> where do I point my update manager to?
[16:09] <amnesia> lemme see:p
[16:09] <Guest30081> Does anyone know what's the deal with devices being listed twice?
[16:10] <arand> Qwindoo: Or possibly vbr -> /boot/grub/* , but the solution should be the same...
[16:10] <Innomen> !karmic
[16:10] <amnesia> goddamnit, changed the name and it still isnt changing
[16:10] <guy_> j/ #ubuntu+1
[16:11] <IdleOne> billy_maze: apache2-prefork-dev_2.2.11-2ubuntu2.2_i386.deb is not in the jaunty repos
[16:11] <guntbert> amnesia: if you use chmod -v ...., it will tell you what it is doing
[16:12] <amnesia> guntbert: thnxs, could it be cause it's on a ntfs partition?
[16:12] <dropt> when they say to open ports 137-139 445, in samba, do they mean forward the ports?
[16:13] <amnesia> amnesia@CandyCase:/media/Ntfs/Usenet$ chmod -v 700 hoi mode of `hoi' changed to 0700 (rwx------) amnesia@CandyCase:/media/Ntfs/Usenet$ ls -ld hoi drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20480 2009-08-27 16:41 hoi
[16:13] <guntbert> amnesia: ntfs does not support the linux file permissions (if I remember correctly)
[16:13] <amnesia> guess that's whats pissing me off:p
[16:13] <hadi-fa3or> im installing ubuntu from ubuntu installer i need to ask what is the "Accessibilty profile" ????
[16:14] <mneptok> amnesia: NTFS has no concept of Unix filesystem permissions. because ... well ... it's not a Unix filesystem.
[16:14] <mobi-sheep> hadi-fa3or: Look into it.  I believe it's for people with visual problems or require additional (and accessibility) supports.  Bigger screen.  Color/BW contrast, etc.
[16:14] <amnesia> Ntfs sucks arse-.-:p
[16:14] <mneptok> !language > amnesia
[16:14] <grawity> amnesia: It doesn't. It simply is not designed for Linux.
[16:14] <vanagonman> none of the usb drives are recognized when I type lsusb
[16:14] <RagnareG> http://naruto-anime.org/
[16:15] <grawity> amnesia: Other than that, NTFS is as advanced as ext3/4.
[16:15] <guntbert> hadi-fa3or: I'm not certain - but I think its about helping people with eye or muscle or finger problems ...
[16:15] <amnesia> ...
[16:15] <IdleOne> amnesia: no, it is different
[16:15] <amnesia> the file size limit sucks
[16:15] <amnesia> max 2 tb I guess
[16:15] <barnsey> NTFS is one of MSes better developments, ironically enough
[16:15] <amnesia> + lovely bad sectors-.-
[16:15] <hadi-fa3or> guys what about installation size? does it matteR?
[16:15] <hadi-fa3or> guys what about installation size? does it matteR?
[16:15] <barnsey> esp. compared to FAT lol
[16:15] <grawity> I could just as well start complaining that ext3 doesn't have ACLs compatible with Windows.
[16:15] <dropt> when they say to open ports 137-139 445, in samba, do they mean forward the ports?
[16:16] <grawity> amnesia: Maximum file size on NTFS is 16 exabytes.
[16:16] <amnesia> grawity: na windows sucks too:p
[16:16] <amnesia> ahhh okay
[16:16] <hadi-fa3or> guys what about installation size? does it matter ?
[16:16] <mneptok> amnesia: watch the language. thanks/
[16:17] <amnesia> mm sorry..
[16:17] <mrb_bk> Question - does '/etc/init.d/cron restart' reset the system's use of /etc/crontab
[16:17] <mneptok> amnesia: for the record, that's now Strike 2.
[16:17] <amnesia> hmkay
[16:17] <hadi-fa3or> guys what about installation size? does it matter ?
[16:18] <mneptok> !repeat > hadi-fa3or
[16:18] <IdleOne> hadi-fa3or: installation size for ubuntu?
[16:18] <hadi-fa3or> ys
[16:18] <IdleOne> hadi-fa3or: a 10GB partition is plenty
[16:18] <IdleOne> hadi-fa3or: rest is up to you
[16:19] <hadi-fa3or> its settin automatic on 17 GB
[16:19] <dropt> when they say to open ports 137-139 445, in samba, do they mean forward the ports?
[16:19] <IdleOne> hadi-fa3or: what is?
[16:19] <dr4g> How to detect the ubuntu version ?
[16:19] <hadi-fa3or> Ubuntu installer
[16:19] <IdleOne> dr4g: lsb_release -a
[16:19] <arand> IdleOne: hadi-fa3or: provided you do not intend to store things like music or similar on it.
[16:19] <dr4g> whats lsb_release for ?
[16:19] <vanagonman> Maybe there is a package bug I should report?
[16:20] <IdleOne> dr4g: lsb_release -a will shouw you info on version installed and kernel
[16:20] <IdleOne> arand: that's why I added the rest was up to him
[16:20] <dr4g> yes but what does LSB stand ofr ?
[16:20] <dr4g> for ?
[16:20] <IdleOne> oh
[16:20] <IdleOne> I have no idea
[16:20] <IdleOne> herh
[16:21] <arand> IdleOne: yea, just wanted to clarify.
[16:21] <mneptok> hadi-fa3or: Linux Standard Base
[16:21] <IdleOne> hadi-fa3or: you probably selected it to use the largest unused space and that is what you have
[16:21] <hadi-fa3or> Idleo0ne i got 2 partitions 1 c and one d ; windows vista is on c and im installing ubuntu on c by using installer ! and there in the installation there's a box for installation size and
[16:21] <hadi-fa3or> its setting 17 GB
[16:21] <mneptok> err
[16:22] <IdleOne> dr4g: Linux Standard base as per mneptok
[16:22] <mneptok> dr4g: ^^^^^

[16:25] <b3rz3rk3r> Dougy, you could just stream for free?
[16:25] <Dougy> b3rz3rk3r: i could, yes
[16:26] <b3rz3rk3r> Dougy, id understand if you dont though.. i keep all my music on all my machines as i travel to a lot of backward places. So streaming is a no-go for me :(
[16:26] <IdleOne> hadi-fa3or: 2GB is to small. ubuntu needs more then that just to install the base
[16:26] <Dougy> b3rz3rk3r: i have 2 machines i use, only
[16:26] <hadi-fa3or> so its ok then
[16:26] <hadi-fa3or> i got space
[16:26] <hadi-fa3or> 17GB
[16:26] <IdleOne> yes

[16:32] <IdleOne> Elmnas: also your using i386 rpm on x64 machine. wont work. look for .deb packages
[16:32] <Guest30081> So, does anyone have an idea, why kernel 2.6.28-14-generic may show twice as many CPUs (non-Hyperthreading)
[16:32] <ReGiStRaS> always having error saying: MAC address entered is not a valid multicast address
[16:32] <ReGiStRaS> why is that so?

[16:39] <b3rz3rk3r> alberto, i dont think many people run Beowulf clusters here.. im interested though, if you find the answer, let me know?
[16:40] <alberto> b3rz3rk3r: but i dont knwo if beowulf is the kind of cluster i need
[16:40] <alberto> b3rz3rk3r: IO want a cluster supported by standar apps like DVD player, blender...
[16:40] <b3rz3rk3r> alberto, small local clusters are normally called beowulfs
[16:41] <b3rz3rk3r> alberto, i dont know how to go about setting up the software to do so.. just the networking requirements
[16:41] <alberto> b3rz3rk3r: ok :)
[16:42] <alberto> i know they are called beowulf type clusters, because the first at NASA

[16:52] <IdleOne> or arand :)
[16:52] <billybigrigger> yeah, i tried all day with unetbootin yesterday
[16:52] <christophe_> should be easy enough... http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4

[16:54] <christophe_> http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 <-- any help?
[16:54] <arand> billybigrigger: I think systemrescuecd should have support as well... what Bastien said.
[16:55] <billybigrigger> christophe_: not really, i has a section for mounting ext3 as ext4, but if there were a way to mount ext4 as ext3, that would be helpful :P
[16:55] <deany> 9.04 supports ex4. I used it to install onto an ext4 partition
[16:55] <billybigrigger> Bastien: thanks, looking now
[16:55] <Bastien> it supports ext4 and may be put on usb stick
[16:55] <achilles> I am getting a segmentation fault, which causes Firefox to shut down. Does anyone know what is causing this, and how to fix it?
[16:55] <billybigrigger> 9.04 has a kernel >= 2.6.28???
[16:56] <christophe_> yes
[16:56] <christophe_> it should all be here http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4
[16:56] <christophe_> Ext4 is part of the Linux 2.6.28 kernel
[16:57] <billybigrigger> *note* to ubuntu dev's, make a USB image for this exact problem :)
[16:57] <billybigrigger> debian does...but lenny is so bloody old :P
[16:57] <richardcavell> How are people getting along with ext4?  People said about a year ago it was unstable and not ready for primetime.  Are people finding it okay?
[16:58] <raden_work> anyone have a 3ware 9500 raid controller working under ubuntu ?
[16:58] <billybigrigger> richardcavell: works great for me
[16:58] <Ben64> billybigrigger: you should be able to just "dd" the image to the usb drive
[16:58] <billybigrigger> i've been using it it 9.10 since Alpha2
[16:58] <christophe_> mabye u should take a look here? http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4

[17:00] <culler> it may have been an upgrade that did it, its fully upgraded from synaptic
[17:00] <christophe_> You also need an updated e2fsprogs tool, of course, the latest stable version -1.41.3
[17:01] <culler> gnome-power-manager and gnome-settings-daemon are loaded 5 or 6 times in the system monitor as well

[17:02] <sim_> is there anyway of automatically cleaning all the .config folders for the things i have uninstalled...they seem to remain there
[17:03] <arand> sim_: I don't think so unfortunately.
[17:04] <Anarhist> !pptp
[17:04] <Biacz_> hey guys, excuse the beginner question but which packet is the correct one if i want to install the latest stable java runtime envinronment?
[17:04] <giiker> anyone has experienced  wireless configurations with TRENDnet TEW-421PC
[17:05] <arand> Biacz_: sun-java6-jre I think
[17:05] <sim_> arand: is that like a bug...cos its really silly
[17:05] <Biacz_> arand: thanks. i ll have a look
[17:05] <Anarhist> Biacz_, there's a problem, the latest isn't available
[17:05] <Biacz_> a quite up2date stable version is ok for me
[17:05] <b3rz3rk3r> sim_, sudo apt-get autoremove
[17:06] <Anarhist> Biacz_, it allows remove code execution
[17:06] <llutz> b3rz3rk3r: that wont remove personal dot-dirs
[17:06] <Trijntje> Hi all, how can I clear dmesg?
[17:06] <b3rz3rk3r> sim_, then SYSTEM -> ADMIN -> Computer Janitor
[17:06] <Anarhist> Biacz_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/410297
[17:06] <sim_> b3rz3rk3r: that doesnt remove the folders

[17:06] <christophe_> http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[17:06] <Biacz_> Anarhist: running it in a virtual machine anyway. i think that will work for me ;)
[17:07] <b3rz3rk3r> sim_, they are just config files though, why do you want to remove them.. they take up almost no space, and you get all settings back when you instal them again
[17:07] <arand> sim_: by default no user-specific data is removed in the uninstallation process, that's just a rule in *nix I think, and very unlikely to change, suggestions are to add options to either apt or another program to abe able to do this, but they are only suggestions afaik.
[17:07] <Anarhist> ok
[17:07] <christophe_> looks like this solved the issue, for some people <--- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258186

[17:16] <irb111> i presumed X was the way to go
[17:16] <prince_jammys> irb111: do you have a desktop environment installed?
[17:16] <firecrotch> irb111: Did you install using the server edition CD?
[17:17] <deany> purplenurple_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1068139  I have it setup locally for testing stuff with
[17:17] <irb111> prince: no, i couldn't get that to work
[17:17] <irb111> prince: can i do that via apt-get?
[17:17] <prince_jammys> irb111: yes
[17:17] <deany> purplenurple_, also let someone watch a movie over it :)
[17:17] <firecrotch> irb111: You can do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   which will install the entire desktop environment and commonly used programs
[17:17] <prince_jammys> irb111: sudo apt-get install gnome, for eample
[17:18] <irb111> firecrotch: thanks let me try
[17:18] <prince_jammys> or ubuntu-desktop if you want a ton of extra progs
[17:18] <sim_> if i want klibido to download posts in a mounted ntfs drive, can it do that ? because i cannot see the option
[17:18] <purplenurple_> deany, thanks - i'm looking more for a videoconferencing solution, but this looks pretty cool ... I just did a ffmpeg install on a centos server for video conversions
[17:18] <soumendra> Hi everyone, does anyone help me write a small bootloader which I can test without floppy. I don't have a floppy drive in my laptop :(
[17:18] <purplenurple_> I had never used it b4 and didn't know how much you could do w/ it
[17:18] <irb111> firecrotch: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop results in "couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop"
[17:19] <purplenurple_> irb111, did you do an apt-get update?
[17:19] <prince_jammys> irb111: never mind 'gnome' also installs some extra progs, so might as well install ubuntu-desktop.
[17:19] <christophe_> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[17:19] <soumendra> Can anyone help me writing  a bootloader,please?
[17:19] <irb111> i am already in as "su" so i have the root terminal
[17:20] <MalMen> hello, im here with a problem... i buy a touchscreen kit on ebay for my asus eee, and install ubuntu mobile mix on it, i alrealy tryed to calibrate it very times, and i cant... the calibration simple dont work
[17:20] <prince_jammys> irb111: well, ubuntu-desktop is in the main repository
[17:20] <irb111> do i have to add some new repos to my apt file?
[17:20] <prince_jammys> irb111: you shouldn't, no.
[17:20] <purplenurple_> irb111, shouldn't
[17:21] <christophe_> try sudo even?
[17:21] <purplenurple_> irb111, can you pastebin you /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:21] <irb111> purple: sure
[17:21] <EricBlade> lol .. remove "Floppy Formatter" "WARNING: This will remove Dictionary and Spell Checker" .. wot? lol
[17:22] <deany> purplenurple_, I think there is a newer version coming along with x264 encoding (altho you can encode it yourself and rename to flv and send to the "server" and it wont try encode to flv, so gives you x264 encode).  There are also a lot of extra fancy plugins you can purchase.
[17:23] <mado> hi folks!
[17:24] <heoa> Where do the keys appear from the command: gpg --gen-key ?

[17:24] <mado> http://pastebin.com/m65c294c0
[17:24] <wpqhs> heleo anybody here
[17:24] <heoa> I cannot find them from /home/heoa/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg
[17:24] <mado> maybe you know something i don't
[17:24] <christophe_> try this... sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[17:25] <purplenurple_> deany, excellent tutorial
[17:25] <deany> purefusion, :)  tried to make it as painless as possible.
[17:25] <purefusion> :P
[17:26] <smbytes> does enabling iptables (through ufw) have any impact on the performance of the server?
[17:26] <christophe_> you'll want to check your repos, which are located in your source.list file
[17:26] <christophe_> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:26] <christophe_> Make sure that all the repositories are enabled(If they have a '#' in front of them they are disabled), except for the CD ones.
[17:26] <christophe_> Then once you have done that run the command:
[17:26] <christophe_> sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[17:26] <purplenurple_> smbytes, network wise it will if you've closed off ports you didn't want closed
[17:26] <prince_jammys> !who
[17:26] <christophe_> should work proper...
[17:27] <grawity> smbytes: I think iptables is just too popular to be bad.
[17:27] <mado> *waiting*
[17:27] <smbytes> purplenurple_: right what about in terms cpu load etc
[17:27] <mrtymek> Hi ppl.... I've a problem. can't connect 2 ubuntu computers with a LAN cable... the thing is I've tried it with another PC and it's okay. Tried the same thing at home and it aint working. I need to transfer files from my old PC to my laptop.
[17:27] <purplenurple_> smbytes, nothing that is significant ... it uses a very small amount of resources
[17:27] <irb111> Purple: here you go
[17:27] <irb111> http://splunk.pastebin.com/d41da8910
[17:28] <irb111> i had to type from one screen to another
[17:28] <prince_jammys> irb111: err, those are debian repos.
[17:28] <irb111> anyone can look at that pastebin for that matter
[17:28] <purplenurple_> irb111, your on ubuntu?
[17:28] <smbytes> purplenurple_: thanks
[17:28] <irb111> Purple: yes
[17:28] <christophe_> mabye try apt-get update, and then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[17:29] <prince_jammys> irb111: how come you have debian etch repositories there?
[17:29] <purplenurple_> irb111, those are the wrong repos
[17:29] <irb111> Christophe: i already tried that
[17:29] <prince_jammys> it ain't gonna work with the repos you have.
[17:29] <irb111> Purple: i thought Ubuntu is based on Debian
[17:29] <prince_jammys> it is
[17:29] <prince_jammys> but we don't use debian repos
[17:29] <irb111> ok, what should i be using?
[17:30] <prince_jammys> !sources.list
[17:30] <plouffe> silly question, how to install a .deb package?
[17:30] <prince_jammys> irb111: last link there, probably.
[17:30] <prince_jammys> plouffe: sudo dpkg -i foo.deb
[17:30] <irb111> can someone put their list on pastebin?
[17:30] <psypo> irc.tin.it
[17:30] <bastidrazor> irb111, why not just download the iso and install it rather than build it yourself?
[17:30] <purplenurple_> irb111, my repositories aren't typical so I can't post them up, but I'm sure someone around here has some repos for you
[17:30] <plouffe> will always be installed as root, prince_jammys
[17:31] <prince_jammys> irb111: what ubuntu release do you have? hardy, jaunty, intrepid ...?
[17:31] <irb111> Prince: not sure, how would i be able to find that from the command terminal?
[17:31] <prince_jammys> lsb_release -a
[17:31] <plouffe> prince_jammys: can I trust skype to install anything as root?
[17:31] <prince_jammys> plouffe: i don't know.
[17:32] <mikebeecham> hi guys...I'm trying to decide whether to use Opera or Thunderbird for my email client.  Can anyone point me in the right direction for good pros and cons?
[17:32] <irb111> Prince: lsb_release command not found
[17:32] <christophe_> dont run to much as root.. hehe
[17:32] <prince_jammys> irb111: cat /etc/issue
[17:32] <plouffe> prince_jammys: thanks
[17:32] <CaptWho> anyone know where i can find a .asf codec for real player in ubuntu?
[17:33] <irb111> Prince: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 \n \l
[17:33] <prince_jammys> irb111: it would appear that you have installed debian etch.
[17:33] <prower> plouffe: I wouldn't trust it at all, the company behind Skype has refused to even comment on the rumours that there may be a back door built into the client allowing for eavesdropping
[17:33] <christophe_> CaptWho: just install microsoft plugin for firefox
[17:33] <irb111> Prince: Ok, is that a bad thing?
[17:34] <prince_jammys> irb111: ie. you have not installed ubuntu. no, not a bad thing, but not ubuntu
[17:34] <plouffe> prower: thanks
[17:34] <prince_jammys> irb111: a bad thing if you want ubuntu-desktop
[17:34] <CaptWho> chrostophe: will that work with the standalone real player client
[17:34] <prince_jammys> irb111: go to #debian and ask how to install gnome
[17:34] <irb111> ok
[17:34] <prince_jammys> irb111: might as well stick with debian and see if you like it.

[17:43] <DJones> !rpm | Elmnas
[17:43] <GatorAlli> Why does Starting cmain()... take so long?
[17:43] <christophe_> Elmnas: either convert .rpm, or find a .deb package

[17:44] <maco> diabolic: unless youve set a cap on speed, the other seeders are probably capping theirs
[17:44] <purplenurple_> diabolic, you probably need to configure your firewall and/or router to allow connections
[17:44] <nathanmarck> Anyone know of a fix for the Version 7 power management error?
[17:45] <regis> hi,does the nv driver have xv support?
[17:45] <prince_jammys> proq: i see things like xzip , frotz, and jzip. check if those are relevant

[17:52] <reldridge> checkinstall should be used over sudo, but what about aptitude?
[17:53] <reldridge> should i switch to using checkinstall instead of using aptitude...?
[17:53] <proq> kamikazeplanet: hmm... that's only five days old though.  I would check for other posts

[17:53] <prower> reldridge: checkinstall isn't a replacement for aptitude so no, i wouldn't recommend it
[17:54] <kamikazeplanet> is it possible to change my ubuntu version without burning a new disk? like downgrading? i know i have used ubuntu with wireless before
[17:54] <prower> reldridge: You run both of them through sudo
[17:54] <hadi-fa3or> :) GUYSSSSSSSSS SaY CONGRATZ
[17:54] <joaopinto> reldridge, checkinstall purpose has nothing to do with aptitude
[17:54] <hadi-fa3or> I installed obuntu but it fucked up my laptop
[17:54] <joaopinto> !language | hadi-fa3or
[17:54] <vilemaxim> maddin: if it's a hardware raid  no problem... if you are using linux raid, then you would have to create linux raid partitions and create the raid 5 that way, then create a different software raid for windows.... or at lest I think that's right
[17:54] <reldridge> so waht is checkinstall then?
[17:54] <purplenurple_> Darksaviour69, could just be an anomaly ... these things happen sometimes, when I restart my debian it goes to the logout screen
[17:54] <prince_jammys> kamikazeplanet: it's possible to upgrade, but i don't think it's possible to downgrade without reinstalling.
[17:55] <joaopinto> kamikazeplanet, downgrading is not possible, you need to re-install
[17:55] <prower> reldrige: It's a program that builds something from source and then creates a package of it that you can install under X distro
[17:55] <proq> kamikazeplanet: you can try, but it can cause issues with your system
[17:55] <wolfgang> Hey guys.. i just connected my digital sound output to my new av-receiver.. however i only have front-output.. can i change that somehow?

[17:55] <kamikazeplanet> upgrade? what is the latest version and how do i uppgrade without inernett access?
  have been useing it for a month now, happens every time
[17:55] <prower> From my experience checkinstall breaks about as much as Wine, which breaks about as much as a set of dishes at a Greek wedding
[17:55] <purplenurple_> wolfgang, you probably need to configure your sound properties ... ubuntu is a little fudgy when w/ multiple channels
[17:55] <azlon> what is a good program for editing dvds?
[17:56] <wolfgang> purplenurple_: where to configure them?
[17:56] <regis> hi, totem and mplayer are slow(1 fps) but vlc is fast...I've the xv driver
[17:56] <deany> Ive only used it for ffmpeg and x264 but Ive created debs with checkinstall ok
[17:56] <wolfgang> i checked the multimedia tab in the system settings.. but couldn't find anything
[17:56] <regis> what should I do?
[17:57] <purplenurple_> Darksaviour69, mine too ... it's not something to worry about unless it's essential ... you could spend a bunch of time tracking the error down or do a fresh install - that would probably fix it ... personally I'd just let it go
[17:57] <christophe_> wolfgang: what about the plugin instead?
[17:57] <wolfgang> christophe_: which plugin?
[17:57] <christophe_> wolfgang: mplayer..m.m
[17:57] <kamikazeplanet> what is the latest ubuntu version?
[17:57] <grawity> kamikazeplanet: 9.04 "Jaunty"
[17:58] <purplenurple_> wolfgang, depends on your card - mine is intel hd audio something or another ... I had to install a ton of extra apps and drivers to get surround sound working right
[17:58] <christophe_> wolfgang:installed mplayer plugin and gecko, and it work with stand-alone players, and its fast..
[17:58] <kamikazeplanet> how do i know if i have 9.04 or 9.04 jaunty?
[17:58] <wolfgang> same here.. hda intel
[17:58] <coldjack> hello can anybody help i delet important data of me and now i want to recover them
[17:58] <kamikazeplanet> or is jaunty the name?
[17:58] <ikonia> coldjack: how did you delete it
[17:58] <coldjack> is there any tools exist
[17:58] <DJones> kamikazeplanet: 9.04 and jaunty are the same, jaunty is just the name
[17:58] <purplenurple_> kamikazeplanet, jaunty is just the code name
  its just annoying, but it seems to be a common problem , someone in ubuntu beginners help chan found a few threads about it, but no fix

[17:59] <DJones> kamikazeplanet: 9.04 refers to it being release in 2009 Month 4 April
[17:59] <purplenurple_> Darksaviour69, it's not really a high priority problem, feel free to debug and let release your fix

[18:06] <groza> deluge works thanks
[18:07] <kamikazeplanet> and no one else have wireless connection issues?

[18:07] <purplenurple_> kamikazeplanet, linux is trixy w/ wireless ... for some it works great for some it doesn't

[18:07] <ikonia> disappearedng: sorry - I meant deghost
[18:07] <proq> kamikazeplanet: I've seen your wireless connection issue before, on 7.10 with a wireless driver built incorrectly
[18:07] <ikonia> DeGhost: you've said #winehq 3 times now - what's the issue
[18:07] <disappearedng> ikonia it's just that when I try to trigger it it doesn't pop up
[18:07] <proq> *ubuntu 7.10
[18:07] <wolfgang> okay, still doesn't work, christophe_ :/ but thanks
[18:08] <dfdd> printer driver ubuntu 9.04 oki b4100 donwloads?
[18:08] <kamikazeplanet> is there somewhere i can get an older driver and replace the current one=
[18:08] <ikonia> disappearedng: apologies, miss-typed your name
[18:08] <maddin> ikonia: Heard that too, so I tried software, anyway i gonna try a bit further, if it works i definately gonna post
[18:08] <disappearedng> oh ok
[18:08] <ikonia> maddin: it won't work
[18:08] <christophe_> wolfgang:np, try google your excact problem... must be a easy solution..
[18:08] <proq> kamikazeplanet: there are probably two or three guides to making your wireless card work.  have you tried all of them?
[18:08] <kamikazeplanet> have not found any, i am browsin the forum as we speak
[18:09] <proq> kamikazeplanet: using an older driver has almost no chance of working
[18:09] <prist> \list
[18:09] <kamikazeplanet> got link to the guides?
[18:09] <heoa> How can I put password request at booting mandatory from CLI?
[18:09] <proq> kamikazeplanet: you *could* try to build the karmic driver from the aptitude sources of see if karmic works better for you overall.  it is alpha, though, so you've been warned
[18:10] <ikonia> heoa: pardon ?
[18:10] <deltah> anyone could explain me hot to convert a PIC source into a image?
[18:10] <wolfgang> christophe_: aye, thanks again :) off for now
[18:10] <heoa> ikonia: so that users must give their password at login
[18:10] <wolfgang> see you guys
[18:10] <kamikazeplanet> i do not know what that means but it is a fresh install so if i have to format i have nothing to loose as long as it can ruin my vista install but u realy doubt that
[18:10] <ikonia> heoa: all users have to login - that's default
[18:11] <purplenurple_> heoa, i think your asking about a bios password?
[18:11] <dfdd> ki b4100 printer driver should also állapotfigyelő +
[18:11] <heoa> ikonia: but it is switched off.
[18:11] <ikonia> heoa: what's switched off ?
[18:11] <kamikazeplanet> if i am to do anything at all i need step by step instructions. and to be able to sovle it without internett
[18:11] <heoa> ikonia: it logs to the comp even without password
[18:12] <ikonia> heoa: how are you booting the box ?
[18:12] <Hydrid> in synaptics i see that vsftpd version 2.0.7-0 is installed.BUT where is the application in the menu i cant find it
[18:12] <ikonia> heoa: are you using recovery mode from the grub menu ?
[18:12] <ikonia> Hydrid: it's a server - it won't be in the menu
[18:12] <purplenurple_> kamikazeplanet, remove all traces of wireless drivers you currently have, run sudo aptitude autoremove, reboot, and install restricted drivers
[18:12] <ikonia> Hydrid: vsftpd is a daemon
[18:12] <Hydrid> okz thanks
[18:12] <kamikazeplanet> i do not know how to do that
[18:13] <Hydrid> so i suppose that i have to do everything from terminal
[18:13] <ericdb> Something has been causing my X session to terminate seemingly at random...only the last few days.  Can someone give me suggestions about what to investigate first?
[18:13] <ikonia> Hydrid: it's auto started at boot
[18:13] <kamikazeplanet> it have been 2 years since i last touched ubuntu
[18:13] <deltah> anyone could explain me hot to convert a PIC source into a image?
[18:13] <heoa> ikonia: no, the option was asked during installation to turn off the ...
[18:13] <heoa> ... password during login.
[18:13] <proq> deltah: what is a PIC source?

[18:18] <_nano_> Hi all, I have this extremely weird issue. Firefox and synaptic package manager are not able to connect. Firefox shows "waiting for ..." for eternity. However wget and xchat(right now connected using this) are working fine. Could any one please give me some pointers as to how to debug this issue?
[18:18] <_nano_> I am using Jaunty
[18:19] <stefg> _nano_: misconfigured web-proxy settings?
[18:19] <hamza> No idea for my problem?
[18:19] <_nano_> stefg, I am not using any proxy :(
[18:19] <firecrotch> _nano_: sounds like a DNS issue.  try ping google.com from a terminal
[18:19] <Trijntje> _nano_: firefox in offline mode?
[18:19] <deltah> joeyeye, now i got a pic.source.fig file. what i'm suppossed to do with it?
[18:19] <_nano_> firecrotch, ping works wonderful
[18:20] <deltah> joeyeye, it not opens with gimp
[18:20] <_nano_> Trijntje, I dont think it's in offline mode, coz it usually tells you that when its so
[18:20] <optimus> blue tooth not working..
[18:20] <stefg> _nano_: but maybe something is configured to look for one... another idea is to look at your DNS entries
[18:20] <optimus> it detects device but can not send the data
[18:20] <optimus> any help
[18:20] <_nano_> firecrotch, stefg : i am just wondering, whats different in firefox and synaptic thats not there in wget or xchat !
[18:21] <stefg> _nano_: port numbers
[18:21] <amcsi> hello
[18:21] <ftab> amcsi hi
[18:21] <stefg> _nano_: ĉan you run 'host google.com' and get a sensible reply ?
[18:21] <firecrotch> _nano_ stefg: well, synaptic and firefox and wget use port 80 :)
[18:21] <jesus__> someone know how i can setup a usb modem movistar in ubuntu 9.04
[18:21] <_nano_> stefg: lemme try that
[18:21] <deltah> now i got a pic.source.fig file. what i'm suppossed to do with it?
[18:21] <kamikazeplanet> do someone have the time to explain me in detail how to remove all traces of my drivers and then install restricted drivers?
[18:22] <_nano_> stefg: yup shows instant results in commandline
[18:22] <joeyeye> delta: PIC is a subset language of gtroff, I think you want to run gtroff -p <file>
[18:22] <kamikazeplanet> for wireless
[18:22] <amcsi> there's a program I am using (stepmania) which for some reason wants my computer's sound server ALL to himself, meaning it will not launch if any program is using the sound server, and while the program is running, my computer makes no other sounds. How do I make the program not be so greedy?
[18:22] <stefg> _nano_: so your dns seems to work
[18:22] <_nano_> stefg, yeah or else wget would have failed i'm guessing
[18:23] <optimus> bluetooth not working
[18:23] <amcsi> it uses ALSA
[18:23] <stefg> !ipv6 | _nano_
[18:23] <purplenurple_> kamikazeplanet, I don't have time to walk you thru it but google should be able to provide you with resources to fix it
[18:23] <kamikazeplanet> what should i google to find a guide?
[18:23] <_nano_> stefg, thanks lemme check that
[18:24] <deathtech> Hello Everyone :D
[18:24] <SRabbelier> How do I get Net/SMTP/SSL.pm in 8.04?
[18:24] <deltah> joeyeye i want tu convert the PIC source into a image. gtroff -p pic.source does not work (gives --help info) nor pic.source.img
[18:24] <deltah> to*
[18:24] <purplenurple_> kamikazeplanet, what version of linux?
[18:25] <kamikazeplanet> ubuntu 9.04
[18:25] <purplenurple_> what wireless card?
[18:25] <stefg> _nano_: and check if firefox is set to stupid settings in extra/options/network
[18:25] <heoa> bastidrazor: Thank you. Any idea which program handles the issue? It ...
[18:25] <heoa> ... requires GDM, at least.
[18:25] <kamikazeplanet> 2 sec i forgot the whole name
[18:25] <_nano_> stefg, I have already checked that, it's all default, that is no proxy etc
[18:25] <joeyeye> delta: gtroff -P pic.source -T html
[18:25] <Major_Quacks> Why not just blacklist the drivers?
[18:26] <_nano_> stefg, the funny thing is that I have another laptop with zenwalk connected to the same wireless router, it's working fine
[18:26] <optimus> blue tooth not working
[18:26] <bastidrazor> heoa, gdmsetup ?
[18:26] <stefg> _nano_: are you using gnome network-manager?
[18:26] <kamikazeplanet> d-link DWA-547 rangebooster n650 desktop adapter
[18:26] <_nano_> stefg, yup
[18:26] <deathtech> I am a Desktop Architect for a Dialysis company. We are evaluating Ubuntu for certain things, and it seems i have hit a roadblock. Would anyone here be able to recommend enterprise type management solutions (security patches evaluated and distributed by us, package updates, remote desktop, ) In a windows world we use a Landesk Client to connect and manage these types of things, and to also pull software / Hardware specific info
[18:26] <_nano_> stefg, oops sorry in zenwalk its different i thin wicd
[18:26] <stefg> _nano_: try installing wicd and see if the problem persists
[18:26] <deathtech> I keep hearing how simple linux is to manage, but what about when you have 1500 devices ? :D
[18:27] <_nano_> stefg, the weird thing is that apt-get in command line works, but the synaptic gui doesnt ! its mind boggling
[18:27] <stefg> deathtech: it'S even simpler ... see !clone :-)
[18:27] <firecrotch> deathtech: Landscape may provide what you need: http://www.canonical.com/projects/landscape
[18:27] <purplenurple_> kamikazeplanet,  google ubuntu jaunty remove wireless driver d-link
[18:27] <_nano_> stefg, isn't the network connectivity in commandline using the same that's provided by the networkmanager?
[18:28] <deathtech> Landscape has some pretty hefty fees associated with it, i was hoping for a more Open Source / Free solution, if possible
[18:28] <purplenurple_> deathtech, linux/unix is about as easy as it gets to manage
[18:28] <joeyeye> delta: pastebin the pic.source file please
[18:28] <deathtech> purplenurple : Yeah, single system is very simple, 1500 maybe not so much :)
[18:28] <heoa> How can I switch console in CLI instead of ALT + F-keys?
[18:28] <ftab> I would like the tar and gunzip command to ignore crc errors how do I do that?
[18:28] <stefg> _nano_: not sure. my idea is that network-manager (as usual, i might add) introduces weird behaviour into gui apps
[18:28] <kamikazeplanet> but what about adding drivers afterwards?
[18:28] <deathtech> !clone
[18:29] <_nano_> stefg, in that case there's some glimmer of hope
[18:29] <purplenurple_> deathtech, I manage clusters across the US .. yeah, it's easy
[18:29] <_nano_> stefg, let me try wicd then
[18:29] <firecrotch> deathtech: have you considered the Landscape Dedicated Server Edition? Maybe call Canonical's sales team and get a quote?
[18:29] <purplenurple_> deathtech, in fact i'm managing my network right now ... and watching a movie
[18:30] <ibeekman> I am new to server admin. and was wondering if there are any additional steps I should take to secure my very small home servers?
[18:30] <stefg> purplenurple_: 1500 system all with the same (or just slightly different) hardware?
[18:30] <redrebel> if i run disk intense apps, should I use LVM or should I partition my drives with fdisk??
[18:30] <deathtech> firecrotch : Yes, i have contacted them, im awaiting a response i sent back from yesterday with a representitive, advent to my own nature however, i was hoping to see a few alternatives :)
[18:31] <chmac> I want to file a bug against the alternate install CD, anyone know which package I should file against?
[18:31] <purplenurple_> Steffy, mostly arch/bsd/rhel derivatives, no ms software thankfully :)
[18:31] <ibeekman> I have server 9.04 running on them, is there anything I should do to make them more secure?
[18:31] <firecrotch> chmac: if it's the installer itself, the package is d-i
[18:31] <chmac> My issue is that the installer wipes existing partitions without sufficiently warning users if you enable encrypted volumes. Lost my whole system two days ago. Feeling very grateful for my backups :-)
[18:31] <stefg> purplenurple_: wrong nick :-) ... i meant hardware, not software
[18:32] <chmac> firecrotch: I think the wording of the partitioning sections needs improved, would that be a d-i bug?
[18:32] <_nano> stefg, connected using wicd now, same issue :(  "waiting for www.google.com ....." :(
[18:33] <firecrotch> chmac: Yes, that would be in d-i, and if that's not the appropriate package to file the bug against, the d-i team will probably reassign it
[18:33] <stefg> _nano_ : wired or wireless network ?
[18:33] <_nano> stefg, wireless
[18:33] <chmac> firecrotch: thanks, I'll fire into debian-installer now :-)
[18:33] <purplenurple_> stefg, most different hardware ... we just added our cluster in virginia which is all new hardware ... our other networks in san jose are running old old old sparcs and some fairly new hardware
[18:33] <_nano> stefg, xchat works though, I am on the same machine and talking to you right now!
[18:34] <_nano> stefg, synaptic package manager and firefox have something that xchat, wget and ping doesn't have
[18:34] <Berzerker> _nano: try going to another website? like yahoo.com?
[18:34] <stefg> _nano_: so i'm guessing your router doesn't like ipv6... unfortunatly it'S now a kernle built-in
[18:34] <deltah> what program opens .fig files?
[18:34] <_nano> Berzerker, same issue no matter what website...it successfully connects but then the endless 'waiting for' in the status
[18:34] <monty_> hi I have set up the LAMP but now i am not able to see the test page in my browser.I am new to this.Any suggestions
[18:35] <_nano> stefg, if that were the case then xchat, wget would have faced issues as well ?
[18:35] <ibeekman> Does anybody know if there's anything I should do after installing ubuntu server addition and getting the appropriate updates to secure it?
[18:35] <Berzerker> _nano: in FF?
[18:35] <Berzerker> _nano: what version
[18:36] <_nano> Berzerker, yeah and also in synaptic package manager
[18:36] <_nano> Berzerker, 3.0.13
[18:36] <azlon> hrmm
[18:36] <Berzerker> _nano: try FF3.5?
[18:36] <Berzerker> _nano: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[18:36] <azlon> i ripped a dvd to my hdd... but now i want to remove some annoying parts like special features and FBI warning... what tool will let me do this?
[18:37] <deltah> what program opens .fig files?
[18:37] <jeffry> HOLA HAY ALGUIEN DE COSTA RICA
[18:37] <_nano> Berzerker, will try, but then I'm not sure why synaptic package manager would face issues ..but then again apt-get in command line works fine
[18:37] <forceflow> _nano: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support
[18:37] <stefg> purplenurple_: i see... so what's your question about then? you might be able to clone package selections, but if you run sparcs you'll probably have to go debian... don't know if sparc is offivially supported by ubuntu
[18:38] <monty_> quit
[18:38] <_nano> ok now apt-get is "waiting for headers" :)
[18:39] <Berzerker> and now he quick
[18:39] <Berzerker> quit*
[18:39] <purplenurple_> stefg, it wasn't my ? it was deathtech's
[18:39] <christophe_> hehe
[18:39] <christophe_> it was nano
[18:39] <stefg> purplenurple_: yeah, sorry... mixed that up
[18:39] <simran> guys i have a dual boot (ubuntu+vista)...i want to upgrade vista to w7...will the boot section mess up???
[18:40] <purplenurple_> stefg, he is thinking about integrating in linux w/ his existing ms infrastructure

[18:40] <Berzerker> oh
[18:40] <spike> hi, there anything I can use to install ubuntu on a usb pendrive?
[18:40] <Berzerker> _nano: what kind of connection are you on? any routers involved?
[18:40] <spike> running ubuntu jaunty
[18:41] <azlon> how do i enable ftp?
[18:41] <_nano> Berzerker, yeah routers are involved
[18:41] <stefg> deathtech: is that server or desktop use ?
[18:41] <azlon> so i can ftp to my ubuntu machine from windows
[18:41] <christophe_> get a ftp client?
[18:41] <Berzerker> _nano: tried resets?
[18:41] <christophe_> or use logmein
[18:41] <_nano> Berzerker, no... i was wondering if ping works probably it's not a router issue
[18:41] <_nano> Berzerker, wget works great as well
[18:42] <Berzerker> _nano: ping is only 1 port. I'd try resets.
[18:42] <ftab> I would like the tar and gunzip command to ignore crc errors how do I do that?
[18:42] <azlon> christophe_, i have an ftp client, but i need an ftp server. i thought one was built into ubuntu but i needed to enable it
[18:42] <ftab> try proftp
[18:42] <stefg> !info proftpd | azlon
[18:43] <_nano> Berzerker, I am just trying to figure out why is my router partial to wget and ping :P
[18:43] <Berzerker> _nano: try resets first.
[18:43] <Berzerker> :P
[18:43] <_nano> Berzerker, right, just waiting for the firefox 3.5 to finish installing (mind you it's getting downloaded from apt-get command line and I've no idea how! )
[18:43] <funkycat90210> how can i get pstack going? aptitude search pstack doesnt show it
[18:43] <spike> anybody running ubuntu on a usb key?
[18:44] <stefg> _nano: some routers puke if you throw ipv6 packets at them... slackware based distros probably don't do that
[18:44] <_nano> stefg, seems you're right, or else i see no other difference between wget and firefox , lemme see if there's a way to disable ipv6 in firefox

[18:52] <Pooding>  can anyone tell me how to make my own irc channel?
[18:53] <coz_> Pooding,   are you on xchat by chance?
[18:53] <yowshi> bastidrazor: apparentlyneither restart x even after trying to dontzap thing i just tried them both
[18:53] <odahilys> joey: yes
[18:53] <coz_> Pooding,   I would go to #xchat  channel and I am sure they will guide you
[18:53] <christophe_> join a channel, that dosent excist, then u are the +o, and then u can request a bot
[18:53] <odahilys> joeyeye: it cant be done from live disk tho, so it failed
[18:53] <Pooding> i r xchat
[18:54] <coz_> Pooding,   it's not difficult to do so go to #xchat  channel :)
[18:54] <yowshi> bastidrazor: but it sure can clear a screen that sysreq key
[18:54] <joeyeye> odahilys: really sounds like hd failure
[18:54] <dfdd> ubuntu oki b4100 install oki status monitor ubuntu
[18:54] <Pooding> mmk
[18:54] <DJones> Pooding: Thats a question best asked in #freenode as there are specific guidelines for creating channels on freenode servers, but if you're looking at a different irc network, then as coz_ suggests, ask in #xchat
[18:54] <odahilys> joeyeye: tell me about it...
[18:54] <Anarhist> somebody please help, i am setting up a VPN, and i have this error http://pastebin.com/m11feb23c
[18:55] <Pooding> maybe i'll just stick to this one
[18:55] <odahilys> joeyeye: i get errors when booting up, saying "SMART Predicted Hard Disk Failure" and some other harddisk failure msg
[18:55] <bastidrazor> odahilys, that is your bios telling you the disk has failed.
[18:55] <Pooding> so good news! I got into the grammar  school of my choice to study science a-levels today!
[18:56] <imbraindead> can someone tell me how to fix there error when i run nautilus http://paste.ubuntu.com/260466/
[18:56] <odahilys> bast: thats what i expected from an ex-vista machine that corrupted.
[18:56] <bastidrazor> imbraindead, use gksudo instead of sudo for graphical applications
[18:56] <imbraindead> ah ok
[18:57] <joeyeye> odahilys: that's like the "check engine" light in the car. Have you removed and re-seated the hard disk ?
[18:57] <christophe_> reset bios settings?
[18:57] <odahilys> joey: laptop with warranty.... i am scared to void it so i dont want to screw around
[18:57] <odahilys> christ: tell me more
[18:57] <Agony_> Where should I go for a question regarding an external hard drive?
[18:57] <odahilys> !hi | me
[18:57] <imbraindead> bastidrazor, it still gives me that error, but it fine. is it something to really not worry about?
[18:57] <celthunder> Agony_, whats it doign?
[18:58] <imbraindead> opens fine*
[18:58] <RMB> Oh man
[18:58] <yowshi> bastidrazor: any idea why they changes it? were people hitting ctrl + alt + backspace all willy nilly  or something?
[18:58] <bastidrazor> imbraindead, that is a warning. not an error. if you don't have samba shares then you have nothing to worry about.
[18:58] <Agony_> celthunder: It says there are 101Gb of files on it, but it says 195Gb of space is being used
[18:58] <bastidrazor> yowshi, no clue.
[18:58] <dajhorn> Anarhist: Check that the ppp_mppe.ko module is installed.   $ sudo modprobe ppp_mppe
[18:58] <imbraindead> bastidrazor, ok, thanks
[18:58] <Anarhist> Agony_, are they very small files?
[18:59] <Agony_> Anarhist: No, they're mostly 700Mb .avi files
[18:59] <Anarhist> dajhorn, i get no output from that command
[18:59] <Anarhist> Agony_, what file system?
[18:59] <WebcamWonder> Umm, does locking a version in synaptic not prevent aptitude from showing them as updates?
[19:00] <dajhorn> Anarhist: Now run `lsmod` and check for it in the list.  Past that, you'll probably need to pastebin details about the VPN connection.
[19:00] <yowshi> bastidrazor: well least it still resets akll the memeroy stuff i had dbus-daemohn taking up like a gig of ram
[19:00] <coz_> WebcamWonder,  it should prevent apt  from not showing them and of course in synaptic
[19:00] <Agony_> Anarhist: fat32
[19:00] <RMB> Hey I have a question about Ubuntu 8.10, I have an Eee PC running that and when I use my left clicker it doesn't register
[19:00] <Anarhist> dajhorn, it's there on lsmod
[19:00] <WebcamWonder> coz_: *sigh*... what is the apt-get to check for the policy to upgrade packages?
[19:01] <dajhorn> Anarhist: Try again.
[19:01] <dcibelios> Hello! I had several problems trying to configure a package, I did a Hello world in C and the result was this gcc test1.c ;collect2: cannot find 'ld'
[19:01] <coz_> WebcamWonder,  mm not sure what you mean   ...
[19:01] <Anarhist> dajhorn, same error
[19:02] <dajhorn> Anarhist: Do you need the VPN to connect to your ISP, or to connect to a remote site?
[19:02] <_nano> stefg, it seems to be router issue, it connects fine on wired LAN on the same router, ipv6 issue it seems ...oh well time to change my old router
[19:02] <Anarhist> Agony_, that is strange, you should check the drive, but best do it under windows
[19:02] <WebcamWonder> coz_: Well, I have a package locked to a specific version and aptitude full-upgrade wants to update it
[19:02] <Anarhist> dajhorn, it's a remote VPN
[19:02] <coz_> WebcamWonder,   try  apt-get  to see if it recognizes  the lock
[19:02] <dajhorn> Anarhist: What is at the far end?   Another Linux computer?  A cisco box?
[19:02] <odahilys> !hi | _Apple_
[19:03] <WebcamWonder> coz_: Nope
[19:03] <stefg> _nano: luckily that won't too expensive (if you don't have too many clients on the network)
[19:03] <Anarhist> dajhorn, it's IPREDator VPN, i have followed the instructions i've found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1189343  but it works for those people, but not for me
[19:03] <Agony_> Anarhist: I don't have access to a Windows system to check it on
[19:03] <odahilys> !question Why
[19:03] <coz_> WebcamWonder,  mmm apt-get should recognize that   ... I am not sure then...generally when locking a package in synaptic  it should not be seen
[19:03] <odahilys> !question i fail
[19:03] <coz_> WebcamWonder,  I am going on my experience here so  I may not have the answers  for you
[19:04] <_nano> stefg, nah just me (it's a home network) , though i'll still tinker around a bit and let you know if i make any headway
[19:04] <odahilys> !question ; i fail
[19:04] <odahilys> !question ;i fail
[19:04] <stefg> _nano: you might as well look at some specialzed router distro and search the attic for some ancinet hardware
[19:04] <Agony_> Anarhist: This is a single boot Ubuntu system. I'd format the drive, but I don't have space to back up what's on it onto the laptop
[19:04] <djuggler> I attached a Seagate FreeAgent drive to my Ubuntu 8.04 workstation and it mounts as "/media/FreeAgent Drive" The space is killing me. How do I remount a drive under a better name?
[19:04] <odahilys> !question and i fail
[19:04] <dajhorn> Anarhist: Are you behind a NAT?  (eg:  Are you directly connected to the Internet, or do you have a mini-router.)
[19:05] <aster1sk> edit your fstab
[19:05] <_nano> stefg: :)
[19:05] <Anarhist> Agony_, can you access every directory fine?
[19:05] <odahilys> !question therefor i fail
[19:05] <odahilys> wow
[19:05] <mbeierl> Hey, all.  Is there STILL no fix for Adobe's Acrobat on 64 getting this error? /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

[19:05] <aster1sk> djuggler: : sudo nano /etc/fstab
[19:05] <odahilys> !question im
[19:05] <djuggler> thx
[19:05] <Agony_> Anarhist: Yes, and I've checked the directories, there is definitely no more than 101Gb of files in them, total, and no hidden files
[19:05] <odahilys> !question im stupid
[19:05] <aster1sk> /dev/sdb1 /media/"Drive Name" ext3 defaults 0 0
[19:06] <aster1sk> djuggler:  PM me for help
[19:06] <Anarhist> dajhorn, i'm not NATted as far as i know, but there maybe a packet shaper on this network before internet, can this be the cause?
[19:07] <RanyAlbeg>  i want to install gtk+ 2.16 from source. and i see here http://www.gtk.org/download-linux.html 3 packages. do i have to install them too?
[19:07] <dajhorn> Anarhist: Yes, and you're trying to connect to a politically visible site.
[19:08] <dajhorn> Anarhist: That site is in blacklists.
[19:08] <odahilys> can someone recommend me a powerfull gaming machine thats prebuilt and is under 1.2k dollars?
[19:08] <merlin2049er> sup
[19:08] <Anarhist> Agony_, you can try fsck.vfat
[19:08] <odahilys> I'll load ubuntu on it and should be ready to roll :D
[19:08] <coz_> RanyAlbeg,  looks like the installation guide is pretty clear... yes you most likely have to install all of the dependecies
[19:08] <Agony_> Anarhist: How would I do that?
[19:09] <WebcamWonder> Anyone has any ideas why pinning a package would still want aptitude/apt to upgrade it?
[19:09] <Sirmimer> Hi, i need some help installing a program called "XQF", but i need something called:  "shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0", anyone who can help me?
[19:09] <dajhorn> Anarhist: However, your pastebin shows a handshake.  You could have a typo in the ppp conf file.
[19:09] <Anarhist> Agony_, man fsck.vfat will give you the useage
[19:09] <RanyAlbeg> coz_: thanks

[19:10] <coz_> WebcamWonder,   woops that is not working here
[19:11] <coz_> WebcamWonder,  you have to install    dselect first
[19:11] <Anarhist> Agony_, yes, if you type "man fsck.vfat" and press enter in the terminal it will give you a manual page for it
[19:11] <dajhorn> Anarhist: If possible, use another PPTP server to verify that your system can actually connect to that kind of VPN.
[19:11] <wildc4rd> evening all
[19:11] <dajhorn> Anarhist: If not, then you'll need to start reading the troubleshooting howtos:  http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml#lcp_timeout

[19:14] <merlin2049er> maybe u can build it from scratch?
[19:14] <SimonP86> I just compiled a C program in my ubuntu terminal using gcc.  I used the -o option to set the output file to "hello".  When I type "ls-a" in the terminal the file appears in the folder, but the text is green.  When I try to run the executable by typing "hello" in the terminal it says "hello: command not found".  It compiled fine, so why isn't this working?

[19:14] <Canaen> is it common for inkscape not to work well with fonts? it will not recognize many of my installed fonts which work fine with openoffice.org and GIMP, and some of the ones it does list it will not actually select

[19:16] <jshriver> How do you grade from 8.04 to 9?
[19:16] <Agony_> Anarhist: It says the device is mounted at /media/DEVICE NAME, do I still want to look for it in /dev/ or just use the /media mount point?

[19:18] <bhaskar> anybody here helping me to install theme
[19:18] <Berzerker> bhaskar: Did you download it?
[19:18] <Thingymebob> ceil420: Ubuntu Desktop is a meta package, I.e it pulls in allsorts of stuff if you select to install it, removing one component does not remove everything else linked to by the meta package, just the meta package as you don't have all the stuff it needs
[19:19] <bhaskar> Berzerker: yes of course i did it
[19:19] <odahilys> !fail bhaskar
[19:19] <Berzerker> bhaskar: Menu > Preferences > Appearance, click install and find the .tar.bz
[19:19] <bhaskar> odahilys: i dont know anything my frnd say i have to make
[19:20] <odahilys> bhaskar: there's a documintation for exactly that, and its really self explanatory
[19:20] <Thingymebob> ceil420: It makes it easier to install a system this way, Selecting ubuntu desktop automayically selects things like OOo rhythmbox fspot etc but removing one doesn't remove the rest
[19:20] <bhaskar> "bamboo-zen-theme-1.1" does not appear to be a valid theme.
[19:21] <odahilys> Then the file is corrupt
[19:21] <ceil420> Thingymebob, so even if ubuntu-desktop is removed because i remove pulseaudio, PA is still the only component i'm taking out?
[19:21] <Berzerker> bhaskar: then it's not valid.
[19:21] <bhaskar> Berzerker i am able to install one
[19:21] <ceil420> oh cool
[19:21] <odahilys> Try redownloading or actually getting a working copy
[19:21] <ceil420> Thingymebob, cheers
[19:21]  * ceil420 removes the worst audio system in the history of Linux
[19:21] <Thingymebob> ceil420: Yeah, unless its telling you its removing a load of other stuff
[19:21] <ceil420> srsly, JACK/ALSA ftw
[19:21]  * odahilys doesnt care
[19:21] <ceil420> Thingymebob, removing mono too, but i'm also removing that myself :)
[19:22] <bhaskar> Berzerker: i hve directly installed it previously
[19:22] <Berzerker> bhaskar: odahilys will help you
[19:22] <odahilys> No no

[19:26] <bhaskar> bye everybody for a moment while i try some more
[19:26] <Berzerker> bhaskar: because you can't understand simple explanations.
[19:26] <AvonGenesis> Ceil420, Yes it is.
[19:26] <WebcamWonder> stdDoubt: \mathbb{R}
[19:26] <stdDoubt> thanks
[19:26] <AvonGenesis> Ceil420, Well, it was made from the ubuntu source.
[19:26] <bhaskar> Berzerker: i am too new i started using ubuntu jst two days ago
[19:26] <DigitalKiwi> AvonGenesis: when you login it should have a foot if it is gnome
[19:26] <ceil420> AvonGenesis, then you're probably using gdm. ps aux | grep gdm to check
[19:27] <odahilys> bhaskar: if i can figure it out by looking in docs why cant you looking in the OS?
[19:27] <merlin2049er> hey how do i copy some files over to a root owned folder?
[19:27] <ceil420> merlin2049er, sudo
[19:27] <AvonGenesis> Ceil420, Alright thanks a lot :)
[19:27] <odahilys> !agree | ceil420
[19:28] <merlin2049er> i don't know the sudo password?
[19:28] <odahilys> fail
[19:28] <odahilys> merlin, just type sudo... there shouldnt be a password
[19:28] <guntbert> !sudo | merlin2049er
[19:28] <Ben64> merlin2049er: it's your password
[19:28] <mbeierl> anyone know how to get around this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/369498
[19:28] <merlin2049er> su is not the same as sudo then?
[19:28] <Ben64> merlin2049er: correct
[19:28] <odahilys> no
[19:28] <merlin2049er> ok, is there a graphical way to do this
[19:28] <azlon> how can i check the status of a program? like to see if it is responding
[19:29] <merlin2049er> i hate using the command line
[19:29] <guntbert> merlin2049er: no, in ubuntu you use sudo and provide your own password
[19:29] <bhaskar> odahilys: because i think i need to spend some more time with computer i am jst beginner with internet, system etc whn time will come may be i also could devlop everything that i wanted
[19:29] <ceil420> odahilys/merlin2049er, sudo uses the user password, not root's
[19:29] <odahilys> mbeirel: nope, unless you go in and look around the source code
[19:29] <coz_> azlon,  start it from terminal
[19:29] <Berzerker> merlin2049er: you hate using the command line? lol
[19:29] <ceil420> you still need a password
[19:29] <Berzerker> merlin2049er: why are you using linux
[19:29] <azlon> coz_, i started it, but now i want to check on it
[19:29] <merlin2049er> well because it's better than vista
[19:29] <ceil420> merlin2049er, you'll grow to like it. it's far more efficient than GUI for some things :)
[19:29] <odahilys> ceil420: i am aware, but who uses passwords these days?
[19:29] <coz_> azlon,  check on it?  in what way?  the terminal output should give some indication if it is working
[19:30] <ceil420> i use cli for just about everything but web browsing and IRC (and even in the latter case, i am comfortable with irssi)
[19:30] <Ben64> command line in linux is like, infinitely better than on windows
[19:30] <ceil420> odahilys, people with more than two braincells to rub together
[19:30] <odahilys> ceil420 , ouch.
[19:30] <merlin2049er> ok if i run sudo vuze
[19:30] <merlin2049er> that update should work then?
[19:30] <azlon> coz_, i started proftpd from the cli but it doesnt have an interface. i was transferring some files form my windows machine in the living room and they stopped for some reason...
[19:30] <Thingymebob> merlin2049er: You'll get there, no one was born knowing the command line, but you grow to love its power
[19:30] <ceil420> odahilys, i have no idea why i said something *that* mean :x i'm not even in a bad mood :x
[19:30] <Paddy_NI> ceil420, because its true
[19:30] <ceil420> odahilys, (srsly tho, passwords are a good idea, no matter how smart you think you are)
[19:31] <guntbert> merlin2049er: you *can* do it with nautilus too, but it is not recommended (dangerous!), so learn using the command line
[19:31] <odahilys> ceil420,i couldnt care less
[19:31] <bastidrazor> merlin2049er, for graphical applications use gksudo ..if you're using gnome
[19:31] <ceil420> odahilys, still, i'm usually all hippyish :x
[19:31] <LogicalDash> Lately my Xorg process has been spending an inordinate amount of time using more than 50% CPU. What might cause this?
[19:31] <merlin2049er> it did work, i finally got the plugin installed
[19:31] <odahilys> ceil420, i meant couldnt care about the language.
[19:31] <bhaskar> well i understood that error msg
[19:31] <coz_> azlon,  oh ok...then I am the wrong person to talk with   ... I am an idiot when it come to any form of networking
[19:31] <odahilys> Wow look someone named b0xxy
[19:31] <azlon> hrmm
[19:31] <odahilys> fail
[19:31] <azlon> i guess i will just restart
[19:31] <dfdd> fdr
[19:32] <odahilys> ceil420, are you aware that a password really does nothing for hackers ; it is so bypassable...
[19:33] <odahilys> espically if you use vista.
[19:33] <merlin2049er> ya vista blows
[19:33] <ceil420> odahilys, that's like saying SWAT shouldn't wear body armour, since people can get armour-piercing rounds
[19:33] <odahilys> ceil420,exactly
[19:33] <Berzerker> Windows 7 is good.
[19:33] <ceil420> ...

[19:33] <odahilys> :3
[19:33]  * Berzerker hides
[19:34] <merlin2049er> whats new with ubuntu
[19:34] <coz_> Berzerker,  there is nothing wrong with using any OS as long as it fits your needs
[19:34] <odahilys> ceil420, unless you hack your own password you will never be protected by it
[19:34] <merlin2049er> i'm still running 9.04
[19:34] <merlin2049er> anything newer?
[19:34] <Cpudan80> no
[19:34] <Berzerker> coz_: lol I know.
[19:34] <David-T> passwords are utterly useless against a determined attacker with physical access to your machine, they're a very useful obstacle for most other categories of attack.
[19:34] <ceil420> i've got a good drumkit (hydrogen), but what program can i use for other instruments? a nice keyboard emulator (i mean the instrument, not vkeyb) would be nice
[19:34] <Berzerker> I still use UNR on my HP Mini though
[19:34] <Cpudan80> the format is [year].[month]
[19:34] <Berzerker> Windows is just way to slow for it.

[19:37]  * DigitalKiwi begins chant "plus b, plus b, plus b..."
[19:37] <sim_> yes
[19:37] <CaptainCrook> ceil420,  do you have a cli command for that?
[19:37] <odahilys> <3
[19:37] <Ben64> sim_: then try pan :3
[19:37] <deany> sim_,  I use ninan.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1234982

[19:37] <ceil420> CaptainCrook, alsamixer if you're using alsa
[19:37] <sim_> it didnt give the option
[19:37] <odahilys> this channel has been raided by #ubuntu-offtopic. you are all now due to offtopicness!!
[19:37] <sim_> deany:  thanks
[19:37] <Ben64> sim_: if you're using a nzb it will ask you where
[19:38] <sim_> yeh thts all i use really...
[19:38] <Ben64> if you're browing groups, right click, save attachments...
[19:38] <guntbert> odahilys: and keep to the topic
[19:38] <ceil420> sim_, if you click to download any file it will still ask you where

[19:38] <ceil420> CaptainCrook, my condolences
[19:39] <Ben64> ceil420: i do that too ^^
[19:39] <sim_> nzb files may contain movies
[19:39] <sim_> it will stream them
[19:39] <ceil420> DigitalKiwi, tells your client what to download from usenet
[19:39] <sim_> so u dont have to wait
[19:39] <DigitalKiwi> oh
[19:39] <DigitalKiwi> cool i guess
[19:39] <ceil420> sim_, oh. i keep all my media anyway, so i dunno how to stream :p
[19:39] <odahilys> All: go back to using mac osx
[19:39] <Ben64> nzb files contain locations, nothing else
[19:39] <deany> ninan auto imports nzb, parchecks, gets pars if needed and unrars..
[19:39] <CaptainCrook> ceil420,  hehehe okay...

[19:42] <deany> sim_, follow my guide.. simple
[19:42] <deany> sim_, its a whole rewrite.
[19:44] <detonation> Well, I had everything working right on my netbook. Now I'm having some acpi issues after updating (the last partial upgrade)
[19:44] <Biacz_> hey guys, i am running an ubuntu 9.04 system (gnome+compiz) in a virtualbox (windows xp sp3). when i try to make a screenshot/recordmydesktop movie it only shows the wallpaper and nothing else. any ideas?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> Biacz_: try without compiz
[19:45] <b3rz3rk3r> Biacz_, id say the virtualboxs graphical emulation is causing you problems, kill compiz and try again
[19:45] <detonation> It seems that lspci doesn't even see the card, unless I reboot to windows (and the wireless card is off, and I turn it on in windows) then reboot to linux, it works until it suspends/sleeps. The only way to get it up again is reboot to windows, enable it again, then reboot to linux. I've updated eee-acpi-utilities and still have the problem
[19:46] <newproggie> hello
[19:46] <kangu> ! paste
[19:47] <sim_> deany - when i try to save the nohup desktop i get this --> Could not find the file /home/sim/ninan-2.0.0/Desktop/nohup.desktop.
[19:47] <Canaen> all I want is a gtk/compiz theme that looks like clearlooks (or something else normal), whose colors I can adjust, but allows for transparency! Is it really so much to ask?
[19:47] <edbian> detonation: I had a similar problem once.  Try this:  use the "modprobe -r <moduleName>" command to remove the module.  Then shut down and reboot linux (without going into windows).  Does the card show up correctly?  use "lspci -k" to learn the name of the driver.
[19:47] <kangu> hi last night i was having trouble with ndiswrapper just randomly keep discconnecting me.. and took me several restart to get it back online so someone told me to post this.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/260487/
[19:47] <deany> sim_, made it +x?
[19:48] <sim_> deany eh ?
[19:48] <sim_> i wrote this in terminal chmod +x ~/Desktop/nohup.desktop
[19:48] <detonation> edbian, it's ath9k. I've modprobe -r ath9k ; modprobe ath9k (under sudo) and it looks like it's going to come up but no wireless connection comes up from iwconfig
[19:48] <sim_> deany - sorry im at this stage = gedit Desktop/nohup.desktop
[19:48] <deany> sim_, and when you double click it?
[19:49] <anna123_> quit
[19:49] <deany> sim_, I think I might have missed out gedit ~/Desktop/nohup.desktop
[19:49] <edbian> detonation: My point is that linux is having trouble shutting down the device (which is why it disappears when you reboot).  I had the same problem with NIC and I solved it by first "modprobe -r <nicModule>" before I shut down or reboot.
[19:50] <deany> sim_, so it saves to your desktop in your home..  I think maybe you might be inside the ninan folder when doing that gedit stage.
[19:50] <edbian> detonation: I'm not trying to get your card back up and running.  I'm suggesting you run this command and see if the card is still missing after you reboot.

[20:08] <DaZ> t__Eest: ftp client? :f
[20:08] <t__Eest> yep
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> t_eest: its an ftp client, linux has thousands available
[20:08] <boucarre> stoy :  why did it not work ?
[20:08] <b3rz3rk3r> stoy, why didnt it compile?
[20:09] <DaZ> t__Eest: i don't see any reason to use  crappy shareware <:
[20:09] <t__Eest> then say me another option daz
[20:09] <t__Eest> :)
[20:09] <erUSUL> t__Eest: filezilla
[20:09] <b3rz3rk3r> t__Eest, try gftp instead.. i prefer Filezilla personally as im used to it from windowz days
[20:09] <DaZ> t__Eest: kde has support in filemanagers
[20:09] <guntbert> !ftp | t__Eest
[20:09] <stoy> b3rz3rk3r: i did not have libmad (iirc) and did not have time to look for it when I tried
[20:09] <DaZ> nautilus has too iirc
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> e_eesy: looks like filezilla to me which is in repo, but there are other ftp clients
[20:10] <erUSUL> DaZ: indeed
[20:10] <DaZ> anyway, it's much better than standalone client :f
[20:10] <DaZ> imo
[20:10] <b3rz3rk3r> stoy, so just get it from synaptic then?
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> daz: the ftp rotocol is pretty limited, i dont see how you can get better with ftp
[20:11] <DaZ> ActionParsnip: using it with dolphin is just faster <:
[20:11] <stoy> b3rz3rk3r: I did try tro find it using apt-cache but no results
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> daz: it'll go as fast as the server can upload to you. ftp hasnt been revised much in years
[20:11] <DaZ> i'm not talking about 200% of internet fast
[20:12] <DaZ> using it is faster because i don't have to run another app
[20:12] <DaZ> just copypasting
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> daz: good call
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> daz: i use ftp at cli :)
[20:13] <t__Eest> so nobody hre with flashfxp version .deb ?
[20:15] <DaZ> t__Eest: it seems they don't like windows software  >:
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> t_eest: i dont think there is a deb. its a windows software
[20:15] <dg1> anyway to get my rear speakers to work in ubuntu
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> t_eest: it also doesnt run via wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12017
[20:15] <DaZ> ActionParsnip: there is
[20:15] <dfdsfsdfsdf> damn it
[20:15] <DaZ> it's windows software in debfile \o/
[20:15] <Biacz_> ActionParsnip: one more short question. can i just kill compiz and restart it if needed without expecting any issues?
[20:16] <DaZ> Biacz_: yes :f
[20:16] <erUSUL> t__Eest: that software is no aviable in ubuntu. period
[20:16] <adasz> how can i record streams from the internetß
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Biacz_: sure, just run: metacity --replcae  to switch to metacity, then compiz --replace when you want to switch back
[20:16] <tomek_> hello everyone
[20:16] <RMB> Does anyone know if Pidgin is working?
[20:17] <Biacz_> ActionParsnip: thanks
[20:17] <danbhfive> RMB: why wouldn't it work (Im using it)
[20:17] <Trijntje> RMB: it 'works' for me
[20:17] <Aijse> RMB, What do you mean specifically ... im running it now ... but for what distro?
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: http://www.mandrivalinux.eu/downloads.php?do=file&id=183&langid=1
[20:17] <RMB> Ubuntu 8.10
[20:17] <RMB> is pidgin working on ubuntu 8.10
[20:17] <Aijse> Sure it does
[20:18] <RMB> Hmm, well for some reason mine isn't because it just tries to connect
[20:18] <Guest44816> Hello! I've tried to make a Live-USB-Stick for Kubuntu 8.04. It boots but only a promt with "boot:" is displayed. How to get the menu back? (syslinux.cfg: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/396161/)
[20:18] <RMB> it takes forever to connect
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> RMB: its worked for even before that and worked when it was called gaim too
[20:18] <RMB> I am just asking if its down or not
[20:18] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: live and learn... somebody bundled wine + this damm thing ;P
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> RMB: pidgin is a client app so cant be down
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: true. cant see the point personally
[20:19] <Aijse> RMB, maybe your chat server is down? or wrong password or something
[20:19] <RMB> So then it must mean either MSN, ICQ or Gtalk is down
[20:19] <Guest44816> The howto for building a Live-USB-System: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Live-USB (sorry, German).
[20:19] <tomek_> can anyone tell me please, how to establish which process is linked to which program (for instance if I have Totem running, and I wish to force close the application using "kill process")
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> tomek_: ps -ef | greptotem
[20:19] <RMB> Is anyone on MSN, ICQ or Google Talk?
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> ooop
[20:19] <Aijse> yes all
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> tomek_: grep totem   sorry
[20:19] <tomek_> thanks Action {arsnip
[20:19] <RMB> dammit
[20:20] <Trijntje> RMB: you have a problem with your setup, try starting pidgin from terminal to see any error messages
[20:20] <RMB> How do I do that Trinjntje
[20:20] <RMB> can you PM me
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> RMB: i'm on pidgin with msn, works fine
[20:21] <Trijntje> RMB: its better to talk here, other people may want to read along or know more than me
[20:21] <Trijntje> RMB: tell me what you have done sofar
[20:21] <RMB> I have tried starting Pidgin from Applications, and it just connects and connects but never finishes and says I am available
[20:22] <kevb> tryin to setup ICS here, and this command gives an error: sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j

[21:04] <nuketro0p3r> @gwildor: sudo apt-get install gufw (on 8.04) RESULT: E: Package gufw has no installation candidate
[21:04] <nsp> kevb: If you pastebin the firewall script, we could look to see if it is written properly, but other than that, just try it out.
[21:04] <nuketro0p3r> what do I do ?
[21:04] <[tla]> hi.  i want to install some packages on a system not connected to the internet.  i have a second system that is internet connected, so i have: apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade; apt-get --download-only install <other packages>; created a local repository index for main / restricted / multiverse / universe; copied the local index, setup /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the index and...
[21:04] <[tla]> ...copied /var/cache/apt/archive.  When I run apt-get dist-upgrade on the target machine it just says nothing needs to be done.  Ideas on what I am doing wrong appreciated.  Thx.
[21:04] <Trijntje> ActionParsnip: mount -o rw,user,uid=1000 gives an error that 'something' is wrong
[21:04] <gwildor> ActionParsnip, looks like nsp is... and like 3 days last week there was this guy ...screaming at me....too bad they didnt get it working..
[21:04] <nsp> kevb: Have the networking set to dhcp
[21:05] <gwildor> nuketro0p3r, look for the proper package name... wtf is gufw ?
[21:05] <nsp> kevb: Which is default for most systems anyway.
[21:05] <kevb> Okay, well, it's not working.  How can get the firewall script?
[21:05] <kevb> nsp ^
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> Trijntje: you need the device and the mount point included in the mount command
[21:05] <kaie> hi. ubuntu 9.04 jaunty, gnome default desktop. how can I use the keyboard to access the logout action, the control in the screen's upper right? neither ctrl-esc nor alt-f11 help me.
[21:05] <nuketro0p3r> its a gui for ufw ^_^
[21:05] <nsp> locate firewall
[21:05] <kevb> is that a command?
[21:05] <Ph`> hi, somebody knows if it's possible to use a usb wifi dongle Netgear WN111 with Ubuntu 9.04 N
[21:05] <nuketro0p3r> gwildor: tis' a gui for ufw :$
[21:05] <Ph`> ?
[21:06] <gwildor> nuketro0p3r, try searching ufw in synaptic... i guess..
[21:06] <nuketro0p3r> I have ufw :P
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> Ph`: if you run: sudo lshw -C network | grep product
[21:06] <treble54> anyone have any issues with WICD on Gnome ?
[21:06] <enr1que> So whats up with firefox quicktime playback

[21:06] <Barnose> I tried to install wine from the Add/remove and it gave me an error. Now I can't open sypax manager. tells to manaualy configure a????
[21:06] <Trijntje> ActionParsnip: I have done that, I left it out for clarity. If I only use the option " -o rw" it mounts, but i cant add/delete any files to the disk
[21:06] <gwildor> nuketro0p3r, then look for gufw in synaptic.... though searching for ufw will show you all things related to it... including gufw..
[21:06] <Biacz> nuketro0p3r: try to use synaptic
[21:06] <Silver_Swords> kaie: i think you'll need ndiswraper for that.
[21:06] <treble54> I'm debating on switching to it but I've heard there are issues with it and I'm already experiencing issues with newtworkmanager with hidden networks on Gnome
[21:07] <nuketro0p3r> @gwildor and Biacs: thanks, let me give it a try.

[21:07] <enr1que> wow, So many people in here.
[21:07] <pagan> how to back gui?
[21:07] <christophe_> proper failure in conf. since u cant launch synaptic, so remove the line, what i causing the error
[21:07] <Silver_Swords> sorry.. that was meant for Ph'
[21:07] <nsp> kevb: What did you use to enalbe or set up ICS?

[21:08] <nsp> !firestarter > kevb
[21:08] <christophe_> and install wine from terminal or synaptic
[21:08] <Barnose> Please what does this mean? E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[21:08] <Barnose> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[21:08] <pagan> Myrtti, ActionParsnip thanks ;)
[21:08] <SuperMiguel> whats the best program to add true transparency to fluxbox?
[21:08] <purpley> i need to run an app and it needs gtk but how do i find gtk?

[21:08] <gwildor> kevb, are you trying to  PC<->PC.. if so, save  yourself hours.....and actually get it working... get a crossover cable... or make one..they are easy
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> Barnose: run the command it says
[21:08] <nich0las> Hello
[21:08] <Trijntje> !please|barnose
[21:08] <gwildor> nuketro0p3r, i think add/remove doesnt show libs...or something.... i dont use it much.
[21:08] <purpley> !GIMP
[21:08] <Trijntje> barnose: it means go to a terminal and type what it says
[21:08] <guntbert> nuketro0p3r: they are different programs with similar tasks - Add/remove is a bit "simpler"
[21:09] <Trijntje> !terminal|barnose
[21:09] <SuperMiguel> whats the best program to add true transparency to fluxbox?
[21:09] <kevb> gwildor, err, why would I need a crossover cable, I have a hub.
[21:09] <kevb> The network works fine.
[21:09] <treble54> anyone in here know a bit about the DockBarX applet? I'd like tasks and launchers to be combined
[21:09] <Trijntje> Actionparsnip: I will go read that, thanks for your time
[21:09] <jcmarini> purpley;  what about installing gtk with synaptic
[21:09] <Silver_Swords> kaie: sorry, that was meant for Ph'
[21:09] <Biacz> sonemone knows an irfanview like tool for linux? small tool to resize - rename (batch) - color correction - pics
[21:09] <Barnose> Trijntje: It tells me when I type that command dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[21:09] <gwildor> kevb, i missed a large part of the convo... and it *sounded* like you were doing PC<--->PC     not PC<-->hub<-->PC
[21:10] <IdleOne> Barnose: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> SuperMiguel: xcompmgr is ok

[21:10] <Biacz> thanks @ gwildor
[21:11] <nuketro0p3r> @gwildor: ﻿Package gufw has no available version, but exists in the database.

[21:11] <purpley> yes
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> kevb: pc to pc needs crossover cable dues to this: http://www.archonmagnus.com/mods/crossOverCable/crossOverCableDiagram2.jpg
[21:11] <Agony_> How long should a fsck.vfat take, normally, roughly?
[21:11] <purpley> if i didnt then i wouldnt be seeing addons
[21:11] <jcmarini> purpley; you will find gtk there
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> kevb: TX -> RX. See how the cables crossover
[21:11] <kevb> actionparsnip, it's okay, that isn't the issue, I'm trying to get ICS working.
[21:11] <Agony_> And is it normal for a fsck.vfat to have no progress bar or anything?
[21:11] <purpley> no?
[21:11] <Barnose> Trijntje: Thanks, but now I type that command it gives me this. Setting up cxchromium (0.9.0-1) ...
[21:11] <Barnose> cxbottle:warning: The current character encoding (UTF-8) may not be compatible with the encoding of the bottle (ISO-8859-1). This may cause applications to not find their files and thus lead to malfunctions.
[21:11] <gwildor> ActionParsnip, i guess they have a hub involved...
[21:11] <purpley> i see a bunch of applications that use gtk
[21:11] <kevb> Actionparsnip, I understand why people would need x-overs.
[21:12] <stephen__> Hi, I have a friend's machine hooked up to high speed and it is version 7.04 of Ubuntu.  Synaptic shows an option to upgrade to a newer version.  Is this fairly straight-forward or is the process in upgrading from 7.04 to the newest version full of pot holes?
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> kevb: if you connect to an interconnection device, you use a patch cable which i TX -> TX and RX -> RX
[21:12] <purpley> and they work fine so i have gtk
[21:12] <purpley> i just cant ind it
[21:12] <kevb> nsp:  I  used the link the bot gave me when I mentioned ICS, I followed the instruction verbatim.
[21:12] <nsp> kevb: ps aux |grep dhcpd #To see if the dhcp server is running (apparently it is not configured and running - in which chase, you would have to manually configure each PC you plug in to share the net - which is to say you would have to do:  ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.x ; route add default 10.0.0.1 ; and then edit /etc/resolve.conf to reflect nameservers as needed.
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> gwildor: hub uses patch still, unless you have an uplink port which uses crossover
[21:12] <Trijntje> barnose: yes, it will now try to configure any packages it was trying to install when things went wrong
[21:13] <jcmarini> !aptget
[21:13] <ndiswrap> I am getting weak wifi signal on my school network, will adding a USB linksys wifi adapter help me boost signal /
[21:13] <gwildor> ActionParsnip, yeah, i was just saying ... they dont need a corssover, in this case.
[21:13] <kevb> nsp: the other machines are windows.

[21:13] <purpley> ive done that
[21:13] <Silver_Swords> ndiswrap: please explain more.

[21:14] <gwildor> purpley, why do you need it located?
[21:14] <stephen__> guntbert: so will aptitude take care of that... I see the ubottu post
[21:14] <purpley> gwildor, I said i did that
[21:14] <purpley> jcmarini, that wont work
[21:14] <losher> stephen__: I'm surprised there is an option, I thought 7.04 was unsupported. Regardless, there's always a chance something will go wrong and leave the system unusable. The only defence against that in the end is to have a good backup, so do that first....
[21:14] <purpley> ive already tried
[21:14] <purpley> and so i can run a game
[21:14] <j2daosh> so "grep string file|grep -v "#" | grep (site1||site2)?

[21:15] <stephen__> losher: thanks - I would be even happy to just update all of the files rather than upgrade.
[21:15] <guntbert> stephen__: please look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - its a multi step process
[21:15] <jcmarini> purpley; please be soecific about what you trying
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> Is there a way in gnome to make the bottom bar 2 rows high?
[21:15] <j2daosh> dangerstat: because root isn't enabled by default. stick with sudo for now
[21:16] <stephen__> losher: some of the files come from servers that can't be found.  I will look into their names.
[21:16] <guntbert> !root | dangerstat

[21:16] <ActionParsnip> dangerstat: use    sudo -i
[21:17] <losher> stephen__: I think that's because 7.04 has end-of-lifed. But see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1003697
[21:17] <dangerstat> thanks ActionParsnip
[21:17] <jcmarini> purpley; what are you attempting to do. there is help here.
[21:17] <kevb> Why is nothing found when i search for firestarter in Add/Remove applications?
[21:17] <j2daosh> what is sudo -i?
[21:17] <purpley> sigh
[21:17] <purpley> did you read what i said ffs
[21:17] <Trijntje> barnose: if you go to the manager and select chromium there, you should be able to remove it
[21:18] <losher> j2daosh: see man sudo...
[21:18] <IdleOne> purpley: you are being vague. we cannot help if you don't properly describe what you want to do
[21:18] <stephen__> losher: that would make sense.  this might be 8.x - not sure.
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> j2daosh: interactive sudo
[21:18] <j2daosh> right now im on a windows box, so humor me
[21:18] <nuketro0p3r> kevb: firestarter is no more developed, try using gufw. Its a GUI for ufw :)
[21:18] <purpley> Idleone how do idescribe nymore?
[21:18] <nsp> kevb: You'll need to configure the dhcp server.  You can do that by editing /etc/dhcpd.conf with something like:  http://pastebin.ca/1545024  and then turn on the dhcp server.  (Change IPs to correspond to the second nic and your ICS configuration.)
[21:19] <losher> stephen__: more /etc/issue to find out the version...
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> j2daosh: saves having to type sudo for each command until you type exit, you will be your own user with elevated priveledges
[21:19] <IdleOne> purpley: calmly and with as much info as possible. all in 1 post
[21:19] <purpley> I need to run a game that needs GTK+2 to be opened with it

[21:19] <jcmarini> purpley; please give a quick idea. questions will be answered if you help us understand.
[21:19] <IdleOne> purpley: what game? where did you get it? what is the error your getting?
[21:19] <j2daosh> purpley wants a gtk2 game but he cant find it
[21:20] <purpley> no
[21:20] <nuketro0p3r> does AutoIt scripts work under ubuntu ?
[21:20] <moymoy> ActionParsnip: what about sudo -s? that does the same thing, but user becomes root, so it's the same as sudo su?
[21:20] <purpley> there is no eror
[21:20] <Barnose> Trijntje: I think I got it. Thank you

[21:20] <purpley> it needs to be started with GTK+2
[21:20] <purpley> if i start it with anything else
[21:20] <nuketro0p3r> try running it from the terminal purpley...
[21:20] <ndiswrap> Silver_Swords: the signal is really week, my laptop already has wifi card, I am trying to add a linksys usb wifi adapater to the laptop, will adding this help boost signal ?
[21:20] <purpley> i get an error obviously
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> moymoy: yes you will be 'root' and not $USER so $HOME will be /root instead of your users home
[21:20] <nuketro0p3r> it will give you a comprehensive error then
[21:20] <kevb> gufw isn't foudn either
[21:21] <guntbert> purpley: yes, and if you want help you should tell us that error
[21:21] <losher> stephen__: ok then forget about the obsolete repositories thing. Find out why some of your current repos aren't responding.
[21:21] <Biacz> .
[21:21] <nuketro0p3r> kevb: try sudo apt-get install gufw
[21:21] <nsp> kevb: If you do not turn also on named, you will need to set "option domain-name-servers" to the nameserver you are using for the host pc.
[21:21] <purpley> well
[21:21] <[tla]> losher: Can I try this out on the same machine?  ie if I use the stock sources.list and do apt-get dist-upgrade it says I need to install 60MB+.  If I point sources.list to my local index (deb file:///...) and run apt-get dist-upgrade it says nothing needs applying.  I tried your suggestion but apt says nothing needs applying to the local server?
[21:21] <Silver_Swords> ndiswrap: adding another wont help boost. but using another wifi(usb) may have a better reception.
[21:21] <purpley> theres probably different ones depending on what type of application i want it to run with
[21:21] <nuketro0p3r> kevb: gufw doesn't work on my 8.04 btw

[21:23] <purpley> i cant find gtk+2.0

[21:32] <bit324life> Hi, I can't log into my ubuntu system. I get a error.
[21:32] <Lancen833> I'm having an unusual boot issue: After grub posts, it starts trying to check my HDD for the files for ubuntu, but it times out and says "no response" after a few seconds. If I manually boot up through grub it works just fine. Anyone have ideas as to how I can fix this?
[21:32] <moymoy> cmp: try this... close whatever theme thing you have opened.. and type this into the terminal.. `killall gnome-settings-daemon`
[21:32] <nsp> Agony_: Depends on the size of the HD and the speed of the PC
[21:32] <moymoy> cmp: then open up the theme manager again
[21:32] <moymoy> cmp: and try to install
[21:32] <Trijntje> bit324life: be specific, what is the error you get, when do you get it, etc
[21:32] <bit324life> the error say's cannot execute /etc/gdm/Xsession default [6263]
[21:33] <guntbert> Agony_: I'd say it depends on the size of the partition - but I have no actual values
[21:33] <Arenlor> erUSUL: It did fix several major bugs and several major security bugs.
[21:33] <moymoy> llua: okay.. now you know /dev/sda5 belongs to vista, all you have to do is delete that partition
[21:33] <bit324life> I get it when I try to login the system.
[21:33] <moymoy> llua: i don't know if this'll work, but you can try `dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda5
[21:33] <bit324life> at the screen where you type in the username and password. It then takes about 5 seconds and then it spit that out.
[21:33] <Agony_> Well, I ran a fsck.vfat on a 200Gb partition, and I just got a line giving the version of dosfsck I'm using in the terminal, does that mean it's working?
 will it remove vista from the boot order?
[21:33] <erUSUL> Arenlor: if it where that imortant they where backported to 3.0 which comes in jaunty
[21:34] <moymoy> llua: nope.. you have to edit your menu.lst file to remove it from the boot menu
[21:34] <bit324life> then it spits another errory saying sorry you have a internal error.

[21:35] <moymoy> llua: you can delete it.... title VISta blah blah chainloader +1 and all that stuff right?
[21:35] <bit324life> I am guessing that /etc/gdm/Xsession dosen't have the right permissions or something.
[21:35] <Trijntje> bit324life: i cannot help you with that i'm afraid. You should write all you just wrote in one question (as short as possible) and ask it again

[21:36] <moymoy> ActionParsnip: good to know... i've never actually done it before, so i'm not really sure.. /dev/null does the same too right?
[21:36] <Lancen833>  I'm having an unusual boot issue: After grub posts, it starts trying to check my HDD for the files for ubuntu, but it times out and says "no response" after a few seconds.Then it resets back to bios and tries again.

[21:45] <Strife89> Hello, I'm having an issue with using multiple monitors. The first time I tried to attach a CRT to my laptop, I went to Preferences -> Display, and tried to turn on the CRT. However, "Monitor Resolution Settings detected that the virtual resolution must be set in [my] configuration file ... to apply the settings." When I gave it the go-ahead, my screen resolutions went haywire.
[21:46] <metalfan_> kri, do that switch
[21:46] <metalfan_> kri, ls -alh
[21:46] <nsp> Sam___: Are you changing the password to the user account that you are currently logged into?
[21:46] <nsp> Sam___:  If so, just use command passwd
[21:46] <Strife89> I was unable to put my screen resolution back to normal, and ended up reinstalling Ubuntu. Any ideas what happened, and how I can make it work properly?
[21:46] <guntbert> purpley: glad it worked at last for you :-)
[21:46] <jcmarini> sometimes when I try to help...I don't.cheers.
[21:46] <kri> metalfan_: that shows a total of the folder i want the files
[21:46] <purpley> yeah lol
[21:46] <purpley> i had to get a guy rom another server
[21:47] <moymoy> Strife89: make sure you have the right monitor selected when you change the resolution and uncheck the mirror option... other than that, i don't know what else you can do.. log out and log back into gnome
[21:47] <usser> Strife89: no need to reinstall in those cases. just do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and everything should be back to normal
[21:47] <kri> reads the man page ls --help
[21:47] <Sam___> i can do that, because i'm in recovery mode; the normal mode do not let me login, says login failed; that's why i'm trying to change it

[21:51] <adelie42> is there a channel specifically for ubuntu users using the andLinux kernel?

[21:52] <moymoy> llua: really? then there's no point in deleting the entry from menu.lst
[21:52] <moymoy> llua: but deleting your vista partition could still be a good idea if you want more harddrive space..

[21:55] <ubuntistas> Is there any way to hear pdf files i mean to convert them in audio because i don't see very well
[21:55] <Strife89> I remember being able to make a window transparent by holding ALT and scrolling the wheel. For some reason, I can't do this on my laptop, even with a proper (albeit wireless) mouse. Did the key shortcut change?
[21:56] <toni__> hello i need to know how i can get a os/unix for free
[21:56] <nsp> Sam___: What is the reason for changing password?
[21:56] <ikonia> toni__: visit http://www.ubuntu.com
[21:56] <Kittykis> Strife89, it's an option in compiz somewhere
[21:56] <Sam___> nsp: no, but i thought about changin it, because, when i try to login it says Login Failed
[21:56] <moymoy> toni__: go to ubuntu.com ;)
[21:56] <toni__> why do i need to see ubuntu.com for
[21:56] <Strife89> Kittykis: Yes, but that's the trouble: where? :)
[21:56] <Kittykis> i'm looking :)

[21:57] <Kittykis> in ccsm
[21:57] <nsp> Sam___: See if the user directory still exists:  ls /home
[21:57] <vaiy> ubuntistas, festival can read pdfs: less myfile.pdf | festival --tts
[21:57] <Evelina> Why isn't it possible to connect to Internet after I changed the MAC using macchanger? I could connect to the wireless connection before?
[21:58] <Goldenjo> Dows anyone knows how to get the mkinitrd program?
[21:58] <toni__> i dont need ubuntu .i have ubuntu .what i need to know is to know how i can get unix not ubuntu linux
[21:58] <moymoy> Gnea: aren't pdf's usually image files?

[21:58] <Strife89> Kittykis: Sorry, but in where?
[21:58] <codazoda> Evelina: Does your router allow access by MAC?
[21:58] <Gnea> moymoy: pdf's are pdf's
[21:58] <toni__> well

[21:59] <DasEi> iuri : you can use dpkg to configure it, use detect layout by keypress
[22:00] <moymoy> toni__: you can try openSolaris which is unix.. or you can go to distrowatch and look for whatever distro of linux / unix you want
[22:00] <Strife89> Thanks, ikonia. :)

[22:00] <iuri> how do i use dpkg on this
[22:00] <Evelina> codazoda: I don't have a router at all. I'm trying to connect to a wireless Internet connection using WEP. It works using the original MAC but not since I changed the MAC using macchanger.

[22:01] <ubuntistas> ?
[22:01] <Sam___> nsp: actually my problem is that the normal mode (the gui) doesn't accept the password for root or the other administrator user; and it happens since i update my operating system... i did logged in with a user from the domain, but when i try to install something, ask me for the password of an administrator, and it says that is incorrect

[22:02] <nsp> Sam___: The password you use is just the user password.  If you don't know it, change it now that you are in recovery mode.

[22:02] <codazoda> Evelina: The wireless hot spot will keep track of you by your MAC.  Changing your MAC, therefore, may require you to re-connect.

[22:03] <lindenle1> Is Gamin gone in the newest ubuntu? Does that make listing files terribly slow over NFS?
[22:03] <nsp> Sam___: And you can not log into the GUI as root.  (You can't log in as root under any circumstance, ubuntu does not allow root login by default.)
[22:03] <ikonia> nich0las: applications -> accessories -> terminal
[22:03] <kevb> ikonia: no errors were given, it's just that now that I've done it, internet connection sharing doesn't suddenly work.
[22:03] <snarkster> nich0las: just open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install and what ever packages you need
[22:03] <codazoda> nich0las: You type "sudo apt" in the terminal. Application, Accessories, Terminal.
[22:03] <vaiy> ubuntistas, just install and try the command: less myfile.pdf | festival --tts
[22:03] <nsp> Sam___: You need to log in under the primary user's username.

[22:04] <snarkster> how do you change the lay out of icons?
[22:04] <nich0las> Thank you all

[22:04] <codazoda> nich0las: Fr a GUI use System, Administration Synaptic.
[22:04] <kevb> ikonia, not "doesn't work suddenly", "doesn't sudenly work", as in "having followed the instructions, it's not as if it's all of a sudden working"

[22:08] <kevb> ikonia: yeah, that's what i mean
[22:08] <ikonia> Elmnas: rpm's are for redhat based systems

[22:08] <lateralus01> is it stored in a file anywhere?
[22:09] <ikonia> kevb: ok so your clients can't use dns - that's nothing to do with the connection sharing at this time
[22:09] <lateralus01> can anyone hear me?

[22:13] <kevb> so the first hop I guess
[22:13] <ikonia> ok so on the client what is your default gateway
[22:13] <treble54> (or rather, has anyone seen that kind of behavior?)
[22:13] <moymoy> guntbert: kri: it's easier to have a separate file.. and you wouldn't have to keep editing your bashrc file .. what if it's not backed up?!
[22:14] <moymoy> treble54: it should spike after coming out of sleep... but don't use gnome-system-monitor to monitor CPU usage.. because it causes Xorg to spike anyway, so it's inaccurate
[22:14] <guntbert> moymoy: point well taken - I didn't criticize you anyway :-)
[22:14] <moymoy> treble54: use `top` in the terminal.. much more accurate
[22:15] <KaiForce> any rdesktop experts?
[22:15] <NeXstaR> how do one install that conky gadget on wallpaper etc?
[22:15] <moymoy> guntbert: it's just that i don't have a habit of making backups, so always have to assume other people don't either =p
[22:15] <ikonia> KaiForce: just ask the question

[22:22] <^Phantom^> I want to say thank you to the developers of ubuntu.  I plugged in my bluetooth dongle for the first time today (been using ubuntu since around the beginning of the year), afraid it wasn't compatible, and ubuntu picked it up almost immediately as I did so!
[22:22] <Strife89> Pici: Thanks. :)

[22:22] <ikonia> kevb: it looks like your ubuntu firewall application is conflicting with your rules

[22:23] <ikonia> toni__: this is NOT the channel
[22:23] <DasEi1> toni__: try #linux for a broader audience
[22:23] <ikonia> kevb: please do "sudo iptables -X" please
[22:23] <toni__> how
[22:23] <ikonia> toni__: type "/join ##linux" without the " marks
[22:23] <ikonia> kevb: then re-paste iptables -L
[22:23] <DasEi1> toni__: /join   #linux      (in your messenger)

[22:29] <mickster04> Sam___, try doing the disk check
[22:30] <i00nsu> In a LAN with 5 computers-clients and 1 server, I want to set up a DNS in the Server machine, so I can write the machine name in the browser, instead of writing the IP? .. I know that is the DNS configuration, but I need to configure that in the Server or in all machines-clients?
[22:30] <moymoy> i00nsu: edit the /etc/hosts file
[22:30] <mickster04> Sam___, there is an option to check the disk for errors
[22:30] <purplenurple_> i00nsu, check out bind
[22:31] <purplenurple_> hosts will do it but if your going to do something do it right
[22:31] <Sam___> mickster04: anyoption get freezes, and mi disk has windows, but with a free partition , thatas where i wanna put the ubuntu, but it get freezes
[22:31] <^Phantom^> That is very helpful, however, I want to use my laptop as the listening device.
[22:31] <moymoy> i00nsu: add in a line like `xxx.xxx.xxx.xx hostname`
[22:31] <i00nsu> moymoy, purplenurple,  in the Server machine or in all client machines?
[22:31] <purplenurple_> server machine
[22:31] <^Phantom^> The phone wants to send the audio data to the laptop for listening on there.
[22:31] <mickster04> Sam___, well it sounds like the disk is broken, m5hash sum?

[22:32] <purplenurple_> llua, you need to reconfigure grub
[22:32] <llua> how?
[22:32] <purplenurple_> llua, from a live cd ... google for instructions
[22:32] <kri> i dont get it ive made 2 alias scripts but only 1 seems to work
[22:32] <moymoy> llua: purplenurple_: wait.. how does deleting the vista partition mess up grub?
[22:32] <kevb> nsp: shoudl I just execute every command in that file yeah?
[22:33] <nsp> kevb: That would work if you set the second NIC to 10.1.1.1  (Change IP as needed.)
[22:33] <moymoy> !grub | kri
[22:33] <purplenurple_> moymoy, it could jack up the partition table
[22:33] <nsp> kevb: No, that is a firewall script.... just an example.
[22:33] <maver1ck> i00nsu: if you have a DNS server set up, all you need to do is make sure all your clients are using the IP address of that DNS server, that will pull all the information in your zone to every server

[22:33] <kri> alias knark='xmms -e *.mp3' <-- works propper.. alias ls-mb='ls -alh' <-- dont work..
[22:33] <Sam___> mickster04: i end up installing kubuntu in that partition, i don't think that the disk is the problem, because it happens in three different pcs, do you think that the windows is making a conflict?
[22:33] <jcmarini> !tab
[22:33] <kevb> nsp: so what shoudl I do with it?
[22:33] <unop> SweetSarah, I'd suspect a problem with the driver - and overflow or something of the sort that causes it to drop the connection.
[22:33] <unop> kri, an alias cannot have a - in its name.
[22:33] <nsp> kevb: You can edit your existing firewall script to do something similar.
[22:33] <mickster04> Sam___, if the disk doesnt work in three pcs the cd is dead
[22:33] <SweetSarah> unop where should i start to look?
[22:33] <kri> unop: hmm ok
[22:33] <kevb> nsp:  how?
[22:34] <kevb> nsp:  and I wouldn't now similair if it hit me in the head
[22:34] <nsp> kevb: http://pastebin.ca/1545114  is just an example to go by.
[22:34] <moymoy> purplenurple_: ubuntu installs onto logical partitions no? so it'd always start at /dev/sda5 even if there're no other partitions right?
[22:34] <Innomen> where in the alternate install screen is the option for upgrading?

[22:37] <smogattack> anyone know of a good alternative to mozilla sunbird on ubuntu? I don't want thunderbird either.
[22:37] <moymoy> Innomen: if you want to upgrade with a CD, don't boot into the CD .. boot up into ubuntu, put in the CD, then go edit software sources and add the ubuntu CD as a source

[22:38] <purplenurple_> smogattack, don't use it
[22:38] <i00nsu> maver1ck, ahh I just re-read what you said: so add as main DNS the Server-machine-ip and everything will work fine right?

[22:39] <moymoy> system -> preferences -> appearance
[22:39] <maver1ck> i00nsu, if you have a DNS server you dont have to edit the host files, you just need to add the machine names in your zone file, like machine1.local IN A 192.168.0.3 or what ever you want the names to be
[22:39] <waseem> guys i used UNetbootin with ubuntu 8.04 and it gave me an error when i selected it in the boot up menu.

[22:40] <kri> pastebin
[22:40] <Sam___> mickster04, you think that it could be the graphical driver? althougt the pcs are hp, dell and compaq
[22:40] <jhaig> I have 4 packages being kept back by apt-get: linux-generic, linux-headers-generic, linux-image-generic and linux-restricted-modules-generic.  I am in no particular hurry to have these installed, but will the get installed automatically (ie, with apt-get upgrade without forcing) eventually?
[22:40] <maver1ck> i00nsu, the DNS server will get the root zone from arp servers, allowing you to access all external sites as well as letting you set up your own A Records for your internal network
[22:40] <purplenurple_> smogattack, i'm assuming you already know it doesn't have a calendar cause i don't see one
[22:40] <moymoy> !pastebin | kri

[22:41] <purplenurple_> smogattack, i know ... you said you didn't want to use thunderbird ... nevermind
[22:41] <maver1ck> i00nsu, however, if you dont feel comfortable with using a DNS server, you can edit the host files on all the machines, you will have to add all hostnames and IP addresses of every machine on the host file of every machine, so every machine should have 6 entries in the host file
[22:41] <unop> kri, ok, this looks fine.  now use this command.   source ~/.bash_aliases   #and then try your alias out
[22:41] <smogattack> anyone know of a good alternative to mozilla sunbird on ubuntu? I don't want thunderbird either.
[22:41] <maver1ck> i00nsu, zone files are the config files for dns

[22:42] <TheSpazzz> smogattack : THough for the most part I just use Google Calander, which can be imported directly into evolution in the newest versions.
[22:42] <cmp> moymoy, i also tried to drag it as you  said - but its not accepting it
[22:42] <purplenurple_> ioka, ubuntu-studio has tons of tools you can use that for
[22:42] <unop> kri, any error messages at all? or any output for that matteR?
[22:42] <purplenurple_> er for that
[22:42] <u-noob-u> danbhfive: Thanks! .. "You are probably wondering why Ubuntu is packaging a three year old version of this package ... "
[22:43] <maver1ck> i00nsu, if you use ubuntu as your DNS server you can grab webmin from www.webmin.com its an easy install and you can use it to configure your dns server as it will generate all the zone files for you.
[22:43] <Sam___> mickster04, well i'll do that, but i used one of the CDs with a Compaq Laptop and it works, just that the Laptop had only that operating system, no Windows
[22:43] <danbhfive> u-noob-u: :) yep
[22:43] <TNT> hi
[22:43] <cmp> moymoy, i also tried to drag it as you  said - but its not accepting i
[22:43] <kri> unop: no error messeages when i 'source .bash_aliases' seemed to go thru. when trying to run a alias it says = command not found.
[22:43] <TNT> alguem do brasil ?
[22:43] <maver1ck> i00nsu, its a good place to start anyways, it may help to read up on setting up your own DNS server a little, but webmin will make it easier
[22:43] <kevb> nsp: firestarter seems to work and think everything went fine, yet the winxp is still failing to find the internet
[22:43] <TNT> alguma nerda ?
[22:43] <moymoy> cmp: look inside the .tar.gz is there another .tar.gz inside?
[22:44] <u-noob-u> danbhfive: I wonder why Ubuntu doesn't just use Sun's JVM
[22:44] <smogattack> sweet! thanks TheSpazzz
[22:44] <moymoy> kri: check if any of your aliases are already actual commands
[22:44] <i00nsu> ok, thanks for the detailed update-information. Really!!! Many many thanks! [[]]
[22:44] <rexuru> what is the name of the application that controls the sound in ubuntu?
[22:44] <unop> kri, which alias was this?
[22:44] <cmp> moymoy, no there is not
[22:45] <moymoy> kri: or try typing your alias lines into the terminal one at a time instead of just running the .bash_alias file
[22:45] <nsp> kevb: See what IP address (the XP system is getting), see if it is proper for your LAN.  See what nameserver it is using, and if it is proper for your ICS configuration: ( ifconfig )  and also see if the default route is right.
[22:45] <moymoy> cmp: are you sure it's a gnome icon set? did you download it from gnome-look or something?
[22:45] <kri> moymoy: ok you mean edit the .bash_alias file just 1 command at the time?
[22:45] <cmp> yes
[22:45] <snarkster> is there anyway to change the way icons are put on the screen? i want them to go left to right not down
[22:46] <moymoy> kri: no.. i mean type your aliases into the terminal

[22:46] <kri> moymoy: ive done so they cant be found
[22:46] <moymoy> kri: one at a time.. instead of editing the .bash_alias file.... just do it to see where it goes wrong
[22:46] <mickster04> Sam___, they are unrelated...it should just work, have u tried all the other option available to you or does the language election come up first
[22:46] <nsp> kevb: If you do not have the DHCP server running, you will need to manually pick and configure an IP address for the XP system. And also tell it what default gw address to use. And then also tell it what nameserver to use.
[22:46] <Guest31541> Hey, how can i install fgrlx on ubuntu 9,04?
[22:46] <moymoy> kri: what i mean is type `alias lsmb='ls -alh' into the terminal and see if it works fine
[22:46] <kevb> nsp: I don't knwo what you mean by default route, but I have manually assigned the ip address, and the ubuntu server and winxp machine can ping one and other.
[22:47] <moymoy> kri: and do the same for all your other aliases
[22:47] <snarkster> Guest31541: use envyNG

[22:51] <MilitantPotato> How do you configure CPUFreq to change frequency at lower CPU usage?  It's causing lag when a single process uses 100% of one cpu, but it won't increase my clock unless both are at a fairly high usage.  It's currently set to OnDemand
[22:51] <Sam___> moymoy: where can i get one? the live cd works for taht?
[22:51] <spritelol> gentoo > ubuntu

[22:55] <Innomen> though*
[22:55] <snarkster> tried gnash that didnt work either, so now im on to the swi... something of other

[22:56] <bigDaddy> it works but when i compare the playback of the nvidia home page to an xp box the animation is a lot slower

[22:57] <nsp> kevb:  I think 4.2.2.2 will work.
[22:57] <TheSpazzz> Ok let me approach it this way then.  There is a utility in windows that runs in the backround and dumps a log of every site accessed by the PC.  If I was in windows I could find the stream through that.  Is there any similar utility in windows?

[22:58] <MilitantPotato> Is there anyway to lower the CPU usage at which CPUFreq increases the clock when set to OnDemand?
[22:59] <TheSpazzz> cmp: YOu need to add the skype repository first or download a .deb from Skypes website.
[22:59] <Berzerker> cmp: download it from skype.com as a deb then use the package installer
[22:59] <snarkster> goto medibuntu to get skype

[22:59] <moymoy> kermit: you can do it as a cron job.. it's doable .. but i mount my apt archives through NFS, so i don't have to download the same deb files over again when install programs on other computers.. or when i upgrade
[22:59] <nsp> cmp: moymoy TheSpazzz:  Oh well, just go to skype.com and get the deb

[23:27] <hsram> Hello anyone willing to help me. I have an issue with installing the official and open source drivers for my Mobility Radeon 9600 video card. I have followed 2 different guides on installing one or the other and I still get errors pretty much making me resort to using the generic settings but yet it seems to be working for others and I dunno why. The ATI Catalyst application I installed through 'Add/Remove...' is saying that it can't detect t
[23:28] <TheCheeze> yes
[23:28] <moymoy> TheCheeze: even with `sh /path/` is a command.. it should work.. that's weird.. try running `sh /path/to/file.sh` in the terminal and see if it works
[23:28] <TheCheeze> ok
[23:28] <nsp> Bacta: You just create the new user and then afford rights by editing /etc/group
[23:28] <bucky> Bacta, adduser <username> admin
[23:28] <bucky> Bacta, log it in and back out
[23:28] <acicula> hsram: or or and?
[23:28] <Bacta> I've already added the user
[23:28] <Bacta> it's me ;)
[23:29] <bucky> Bacta, did the user log out and back in ?  type groups to see if the user is a member of admin
[23:29] <Bacta> should I be in the "adm" group?
[23:29] <TheCheeze> ok, i was mistaken. i missed the sh at the beginning of that line
[23:29] <TheCheeze> thanks all
[23:29] <hsram> Yea or or and :)
[23:30] <MilitantPotato> erUSUL: I also lowered the sampling_rate to make scaling more responsive
[23:30] <acicula> hsram: i had bad experience trying the binary driver with my 9800 pro, the standard open source version worked fine for 2D though,(and should be enabled by default)
[23:30] <bucky> Bacta, i think you need adm too
[23:30] <hsram> I followed a guide to install the official drivers (got it from the site where the last version actually supported my card)

[23:31] <hsram> Also got errors and yea it works fine obviously, but stuff like video playback or flash is so laggy it's pretty much not worth it
[23:31] <acicula> hsram: how do you deduce the open source one doesnt work, does it default to vesa?
[23:31] <g0th> any ideas why not?

[23:31] <hsram> Heard good things about it, so I figured I would try to make the best of it by getting everything up and going like it should

[23:51] <erUSUL> ^Phantom^: run mplayer from cli ? see the msgs it prints
[23:52] <vipx1> It should work kevb on port 5900, firewalls need to be off or have 5900 open
[23:52] <nsp> tilde: What doesn't work?
[23:52] <jon_> I did that MilitantPotato
[23:52] <jon_> :P
[23:52] <Deele> erUSUL, Main problem is that software is refusing to start, saying my driver or video card does not support so many textures, or smth like that, so I want to update my video card driver, cause I know, my video card can support that software (in windowsxp), So, I found that latest driver for nvidia is 185... but at the moment, I have 180 version. CAnt find any 185 nvidia driver at synaptic package manager default, but got instructions from internet, how to set
[23:52] <MilitantPotato> jon_:  have the codecs needed?
[23:52] <tilde> acicula: well, i also tried 'cat /bin/bash > /dev/dsp' to send sound to my headphones, but i don't hear anything.  The only thing I know for sure is that my initial login works because I can hear the Ubuntu intro music through my headphones.
[23:52] <jon_> I haven't uninstalled anything, and it was working yesterday
[23:52] <kevb> vipx1, if i turn firewalls off, ICS goes down.
[23:52] <MilitantPotato> jon_: is your drive mounted?
[23:53] <erUSUL> Deele: 400 chars max iirc
[23:53] <jon_> Yes
[23:53] <erUSUL> Deele: envyng does not work ?
[23:53] <jon_> I have VLC playing music now
[23:53] <^Phantom^> Oh, I figured it out.
[23:53] <jon_> and if you mean like a flash drive
[23:53] <jon_> then no
[23:53] <tilde> nsp: well, it's still refusing the ssh connection, so something didn't work.  I'm operating blind, so all i can use for output until i get sshd set up is my headphones.
[23:53] <jon_> all my music is on the HDD
[23:53] <bigDaddy> ubottu: love the nick; prob is on amd64 turion, nv 9100 card - its lots slower than an xp box with integrated intel graphics
[23:53] <nsp> kevb: kevb port 5900 should already be open.
[23:53] <Deele> erUSUL, when I start it, push button 1, it shows only 0      | 180.44-0ubuntu1    | 180.44-0ubuntu1   | +          | +           |
[23:53] <vipx1> Then open port 5900, what fire wall is it? I'm not fimilar with ICS but I use VNC everyday in work
[23:53] <^Phantom^> I somehow changed my sound settings.  Thank you anyway.
[23:54] <acicula> tilde: afaik when you apt-get it asks for confirmaition, pressing enter a few times should work
[23:54] <erUSUL> !nvidia | Deele
[23:54] <uccadmin> I realize this is an Ubuntu channel, and this is only somewhat related so I might not get any help but here goes
[23:54] <nsp> tilde: Headphones?
[23:54] <tilde> acicula: okay let me give that a try.. i'll report back shortly.
[23:54] <uccadmin> Does anyone have any experience setting up a DRBL server in an Ubuntu environment?
[23:54] <kevb> nsp, yeah it is.
[23:54] <tilde> nsp: headphones hooked up to my mobo's speaker-out jack
[23:54] <jon_> MilitantPotato: any more ideas :P
[23:55] <Butterfly> Any body?  Change association?  What am I looking for? Where do I find it?
[23:55] <bigDaddy> gdaddy
[23:55] <Deele> erUSUL, can you explain in two words, what is Binary Driver?
[23:55] <quantum> nsp?
[23:55] <t3ckn0b0y> zero one
[23:55] <erUSUL> Deele: a propietary one that only comes in binary form as opposed as any other one that we (the open source community) have the source code for
[23:55] <erUSUL> Deele: the last option is to do a manual install https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[23:56] <MilitantPotato> jon_: uninstall. remove the ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok directory, then re-install?
[23:56] <sim_> my fellow ubuntu dorks...klibido or Pan ??
[23:56] <Perversion> !register
[23:56] <acicula> try both?
[23:56] <erUSUL> Deele: this is not adviced. the install will brake with some updates and you will have to reinstall from command line
[23:56] <IdleOne> sim_: i'm a geek and not a dork and try both
[23:56] <sim_> idleone same thing
[23:56] <sim_> dork///geek
[23:56] <bigDaddy> ubottu: love the nick; prob is on amd64 turion, nv 9100 card - its lots slower than an xp box with integrated intel graphics
[23:56] <erUSUL> Deele: maybe you shoukld troubleshot a little more why the app does not work ? with the 180 drivers
[23:57] <sim_> i rther not waste time :P
[23:57] <acicula> sim_: wrong, check a dictionary
[23:57] <Deele> erUSUL, I think, there is deeper problem, with Wine and COD4 compatablity :)))
[23:57] <tilde> acicula: not working.  I have reason to believe that i never get logged in to the virtual terminal in the first place, since 'cat /bin/bash > /dev/dsp' doesn't work.
[23:57] <erUSUL> !appdb | Deele check here
[23:57] <IdleOne> bigDaddy: ubottu is a robot, does not understand you.
[23:57] <acicula> tilde: dunno then :/
[23:57] <bigDaddy> copy
[23:58] <Deele> erUSUL, good one
[23:58] <tilde> Can anyone tell me a surefire way to get a terminal prompt after logging in to Ubuntu blind (i.e. with no monitor)?  I've tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 but it doesn't seem to be working.
[23:58] <bigDaddy> does anyone else have any complaints about flash being slow in Jaunty or am i in twilight zone? heh
[23:59] <vipx1> control alt F6 is terminal
[23:59] <erUSUL> tilde boot into recovery mode ? no login needed also
[23:59] <vipx1> Then login, username then password
