[00:00] <Chousuke> nostalgicBadger: :P
[00:00] <Hillshum> Chousuke: Lots of JavaScript on a page can slow it down a bit
[00:00] <Chousuke> nostalgicBadger: modern browsers are fast, but not miracle workers.
[00:00] <nostalgicBadger> Chousuke - hahaha
[00:00] <Hillshum> Modern CPUs help
[00:01] <nostalgicBadger> Facebook needs an HTML. because the devs don't know how to utilize js.
[00:01] <niten> That's as much about loading as it is about interpreting JavaScript
[00:01] <syk> where can i get xchat-gnome help?
[00:01] <nostalgicBadger> HTML mode*
[00:01] <erUSUL> syk: ask here
[00:01] <syk> is there any way to get a nicklist in xchat gnome?
[00:02] <Hillshum> Anyway, this app is running faster now
[00:02] <lstarnes> syk: I thought it did have a nicklist by default
[00:02] <lstarnes> syk: have you tried the regular version of xchat?
[00:02] <Hillshum> sky: Below the list of channels, click where it says how many users there are
[00:03] <asm`> hi - im trying to install kubuntu 64-bit with Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7.. I get an error that the iso is not 64-bit, when I clearly downloaded the 64-bit version
[00:03] <nostalgicBadger> you're trying to run kubuntu 64 bit on Windows 7?
[00:03] <lstarnes> asm`: it might be caused by virtual pc not supporting 64-bit
[00:03] <asm`> well thats shitty.
[00:03] <asm`> nostaglic: yes why not?
[00:03] <nostalgicBadger> asm - why?
[00:04] <lstarnes> asm`: please refrain from using that kind of language
[00:04] <asm`> okay sory
[00:04] <syk> lstarnes, yeah i like the gnome version better, just wish i knew how to get the nicklist. would you happen to know where i can find the xchat-gnome directory to edit the theme?
[00:04] <asm`> let me google this
[00:04] <nostalgicBadger> i'm trying to imagine what the point of running linux in windows 7 would be.
[00:04] <lstarnes> syk: I do not know
[00:04] <sebsebseb> asm`: VirtulPC does not like Linux much
[00:04] <sebsebseb> asm`: also any version of Windows as the host :(
[00:04] <lstarnes> syk: but in my experience xchat-gnome tends to not be as complete as the original xchat
[00:05] <asm`> sebsebseb: thats not true. i virtulized the same iso just fine when i had vista. but i was using VMWare.
[00:05] <Hillshum> syk: Did you see what I said? Below the channel view
[00:05] <sebsebseb> asm`: exactly
[00:05] <Hillshum> asm`: VirtualBox?
[00:05] <sebsebseb> asm`: as I just said  Virtualpc  tends not to work that well with Linux
[00:05] <asm`> yes well i dont like vmware.
[00:06] <asm`> i dont mind it but i couldnt do true full-screen
[00:06] <syk> Hillshum: i just seen that, thank you
[00:06] <sebsebseb> asm`: Virtualbox  with Windows as the guest, and  Linux as the host?  :)
[00:06] <lstarnes> asm`: are you using a 64-bit version of windows 7?
[00:06] <asm`> yes.
[00:06] <syk> Hillshum: any idea where i can edit the theme in xchat-gnome?
[00:06] <ioky> Hi I trying edit my xorg to setup my two mouse, but it doesn't seem make any difference, i wonder why
[00:06] <asm`> i will try VirtualBox.. because I didnt like VMWare.
[00:06] <ioky> here is my xog.conf
[00:07] <asm`> I couldnt find 'Vmware Tools' to install on Kubuntu..
[00:07] <Hillshum> syk:  No :/
[00:07] <asm`> you cant go full-screen without those tools.
[00:07] <asm`> and your VM looks like crap.
[00:07] <asm`> can i go full screen with Sun VB ?
[00:07] <sebsebseb> asm`: Virtualbox is better

[00:07] <asm`> okay..
[00:07] <sebsebseb> !language | asm`
[00:07] <asm`> yes I had Sun VB at one time..
[00:07] <dtam> i love virtualbox.. make sure you install the nonfree version
[00:07] <asm`> what is the non-free version?
[00:07] <sebsebseb> asm`: and I hope  Linux in a vm is only for testing :)   I suggest putting Ubuntu 9.10 on as host OS when it's released at the end of October :)
[00:08] <lstarnes> asm`: the sun version
[00:08] <dtam> the nonfree version has usb support
[00:08] <sebsebseb> asm`: they are both free as in price, just one version is open source and the other is closed source, that one also has USB support for example
[00:08] <asm`> sebsebseb: tbh, i want to try beryl and KDE.
[00:08] <nostalgicBadger> asm': why are you trying to run ubuntu within windows anyway?
[00:08] <asm`> because i like ubuntu
[00:08] <sebsebseb> asm`: Beryl is no longer made,  that got forked back into Compiz Fushion
[00:08] <nostalgicBadger> asm`: so why don't you just install ubuntu?
[00:08] <asm`> because i game a lot
[00:08] <linxeh> nostalgicBadger: many people run linux on a windows host to get around hardware issues
[00:09] <asm`> and i like windows 7
[00:09] <sebsebseb> asm`: well depending on what games you play, you may be able to get them working well in Wine, or  possibily in a Windows virtual machine even,  but if 3D well hmm, but  3D support is getting there to
[00:09] <asm`> moo: os: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate - (6.1.7600) up: 21hrs 22mins 11secs cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (x64) at 3003MHz gfx: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT 512MB res: 1440x900 32bit 60Hz ram: 1346/4095.1MB (32.86%) [|||-------] hdd: C:\ 50.37GB/73.14GB D:\ 296.6GB/596.17GB E:\ 515.96GB/522.93GB G:\ 658.13GB/931.51GB net: Atheros AR8121_AR8113_AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller[NDIS6.20] - 100MB/s 2.47GB In 112.84MB Out

[00:09] <linxeh> Windows7 = Vista, as should have been
[00:09] <asm`> so are you guys saying that sun's version of VB doesnt have USB support??
[00:09] <sebsebseb> linxeh: :)
[00:10] <linxeh> asm`: yes
[00:10] <dtam> and with windows you will need to install antivirus and antispyware.. and so and so forth which are performance killers
[00:10] <lstarnes> asm`: it does
[00:10] <asm`> yes i agree that windows 7 is vista SP3..
[00:10] <linxeh> asm`: it doesnt have USB pass through
[00:10] <lstarnes> asm`: but the open source edition doesn't
[00:10] <nostalgicBadger> Hardware issues? You can just use ndiswrapper to get around driver issues.
[00:10] <sebsebseb> asm`: the open source doesn't, but the closed source does
[00:10] <asm`> okay
[00:10] <asm`> but nonetheless
[00:10] <asm`> win 7 is smooooooooooooth
[00:10] <asm`> maybe not as much as linux.. but i mean.. you dont even have to install drivers
[00:10] <monster> i heard it blue screens alot.
[00:11] <asm`> as long as you have a lan connection, it installs all your drivers for you as you plug stuff in
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: of course you have to do drivers for Windows 7, also good luck trying to run a lot of older XP stuff
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: you may find you can't just do that :) :D
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: there solution for this issue is actsaully virtualization anyway off topic
[00:11] <stickapotomus> anyone in here ever use dual wireless cards with ubuntu?
[00:11] <asm`> sebseb: it comes with a free XP mode
[00:11] <linxeh> asm`: you are lucky then. It was appauling in beta for us. haven't got retail  yet to see if things are btter
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: yes that's what I am on about the xp mode
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: which is really virtualization
[00:12] <asm`> windows isnt perfect, but they started 20 years ahead of linux
[00:12] <asm`> so they have market share, its not rocket science
[00:12] <sebsebseb> asm`: not exactly true
[00:12] <nostalgicBadger> depends on what you mean by "started"
[00:12] <asm`> well of course the windows kernel is based largely on unix
[00:12] <asm`> no doubt on that
[00:12] <asm`> but unix etc was always free
[00:12] <sebsebseb> asm`: well the Linux kernel is releasd in 1993 or so, but  Linux distros are based on Unix which goes back to the 70's when only clever companies used computers, anyway off topic
[00:12] <sebsebseb> !ot
[00:12] <asm`> they gui'd it up and started charing
[00:12] <linxeh> asm`: windows is hardly unix
[00:13] <Chousuke> unix wasn't always free either. :/
[00:13] <asm`> not even the kernel?
[00:13] <erUSUL> sebsebseb: 1991 to be exact
[00:13] <Hillshum> asm`: Nope
[00:13] <stickapotomus> anyone have any issues with using dual wireless network cards in ubuntu?
[00:13] <nostalgicBadger> windows doesn't have the market share because it's older. windows has the market share because a five year old could install and run it
[00:13] <Chousuke> the original UNIX was proprietary
[00:13]  * linxeh invites asm` to #ubuntu-offtopic 
[00:13] <dtam> i agree with badger
[00:13] <asm`> im there linxeh
[00:13] <kyuss> Hey guys I need some help here. My system freezes when I open the display properties
[00:13] <sebsebseb> nostalgicBadger: well it's not that difficult to install Ubuntu and most other distros
[00:14] <Chousuke> nostalgicBadger: windows got the marketshare because it was cheaper.
[00:14] <asm`> nostaglic come by into ubuntuofftpoic
[00:14] <Chousuke> nostalgicBadger: a LOT cheaper.
[00:14] <dtam> they made it easy for normal newbie users
[00:14] <sebsebseb> Chousuke: it has the market share, because it was there at the right time,  Linux  wasn't ready in the  early 90's for average computer users,  anyway  #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue this discusssion
[00:14] <ioky> I am trying to setup my two mouse but it doesn't taking any effect, here is my x.org http://paste.ubuntu.com/266356/
[00:15] <kyuss> what info do you guys need?
[00:15] <CoJaBo-Aztec> fccf: Ok, looks like it works!
[00:15] <CoJaBo-Aztec> fccf: Is 3.00 the latest version?
[00:17] <treble54> whenever I find background images made for the gnome panels, they always never stretch the full bar, but instead make patterns
[00:17] <treble54> is there a way I can force them to stretch?
[00:18] <stickapotomus> well, damn. this channel is dead.
[00:18] <treble54> :(
[00:18] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: not that busy right now, but  far from dead
[00:19] <treble54> hehe
[00:19] <kyuss> anyone know why my system is freezing when I open the display properties?
[00:19] <stickapotomus> so i see.
[00:19] <h2g2bob> hello all - this isn't really an ubuntu question, but is the g_list_nth_data line on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove/DragNDropTutorial a bug? It just seems unlikely. Anyone know anything about d-n-d in gnome?
[00:20] <tomas1> hey guys question i have troble playing flash games
[00:20] <sebsebseb> !details |  tomas1
[00:21] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb, are you an admin of this channel?
[00:22] <kyuss> so were just looking the other way with my question then?
[00:22] <kyuss> gotcha
[00:22] <asm`> hey where do i get Sun VB that is closed source? www.virtualbox.com or www.sun.com ??
[00:22] <stickapotomus> kyuss, i'd help, but i just installed ubuntu a week ago
[00:22] <stickapotomus> *grin*
[00:22] <tomas1> Ubuntu 9.04 I tryed to play a flash/Java game on facebook i installed all the java plugin and also the flash plugin and it still would not load the flash/java games
[00:22] <jamiejackson1> how can i see what brand an SD card is? is there some sort of CLI command for that?
[00:22] <bigdavejoker> how to escape the ' character when using it in a sed command I want to use sed '/server can't find/d......
[00:23] <deinspanjer> Is there a different channel for Ubuntu Server?
[00:23] <stickapotomus> tomas1, what flash game?
[00:24] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: an op of this channal no
[00:24] <durt> deinspanjer, #ubuntu-server
[00:24] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: why?
[00:24] <deinspanjer> durt:
[00:24] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb, just curious. this is my first foray into ubuntu and was wondering how this was all maintained. specifically, if this channel was an "official" support channel, so forth.
[00:25] <Pici> stickapotomus: It is the official support channel.
[00:25] <Pici> See the /topic
[00:25] <Ben64> bigdavejoker: \ is pretty much the universal escaper
[00:25] <deinspanjer> durt: Bah! I flubbed my channel scan then. :)  Would it be best for me to go there or here for questions regarding upgrading from an 8.04 desktop to 9.04 server?
[00:25] <bigdavejoker> Ben64 thanks thats what I tried but must not have used it correctly  thanks
[00:25] <tomas1> restaurant city.
[00:25] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: yes it is an offical channal, but most people here  aren't  exactly linked to  Canaonical the company behind Ubuntu,  and most don't have the Ubuntu member status thingey
[00:25] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb, i see. so this is mostly a user helping user channel, yes?
[00:26] <durt> deinspanjer, either or, the server channel is mainly for server config mysql, LAMP etc.
[00:26] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: yes volunters from all over the world, helping other people
[00:26] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: or  users asking for help with their Ubuntu
[00:26] <stickapotomus> i see.
[00:27] <deinspanjer> durt:
[00:27] <Pici> stickapotomus: The 'chat' channel is #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:27] <Pici> Also...
[00:27] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: well  I guess at least someone from every Internet connected countrey/island comes in here, but  you get the idea,   The Internet yeah
[00:27] <Pici> !irc | stickapotomus
[00:27] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb: Canaonical then doesn't offer a support service, like say you would call into Dell for help, etc. Correct?
[00:27] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: pici is an op/admin of the channal by the way
[00:27] <deinspanjer> durt: Hrm. I just posted the question there so I'll wait a bit rather than cross post.
[00:27] <nostalgicBadger> btw, linux being easy to install is a pretty recent development, and i'm not sure the market has caught on to it yet
[00:28] <nostalgicBadger> i still had to use ndiswrapper to get the wireless drivers to work in Ubuntu Netbook Remix, on my netbook
[00:28] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: they do offer commercial suppourt as well, but yes it's better to take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:28] <devon> hey all anyone know how to fix the no sound in running wine apps?
[00:29] <willluongo> I am having difficulties getting my 8.04.3 installation on  my laptop to recognize the video card, I am pretty sure I will need to manually edit the xorg.conf, does anyone have any alternative solutions? It is an averatec 3200 series, with a Savage S3 (I am pretty sure)
[00:29] <devon> I'm trying to run steam counter strike and it loads but no sound in from it
[00:29] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb: k, no more questions about support then - rather the actual question. has anyone ever had problems with the network applet in 9.04 of ubuntu showing the wireless network disconnected, but when you right click and view connection information it shows that is in fact, connected?
[00:31] <devon> hrmmm whats your video card?
[00:31] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: I  think I read before that, that applet can be a bit  misleading (I think that's the word I want)
[00:31] <not_shivan> hi, quick question, is anyone here running 9.10 with tex-common installed?
[00:31] <sebsebseb> !9.10 |  not_shivan
[00:32] <not_shivan> ah, thanks
[00:32] <sebsebseb> not_shivan: np good luck
[00:32] <tomas1> i cant play flash/Java games like those on facebook. i go to the page and they dont load i am faced with a blank screen
[00:32] <willluongo> devon: are you asking me?
[00:32] <sebsebseb> not_shivan: well I don't know what your actsaul issue is hmm anywah the other channal
[00:32] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb: well, in that senario; my wireless network appears to be offline, since I can't ping out anywhere. BUT - i am running dual wireless network cards. at any rate, I got fed up and installed wicd - which now allows me to connect and stay connected to my wireless network. should i file bug report then for the network applet?
[00:33] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: Wireless is not my area
[00:33] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  stickapotomus
[00:33] <deinspanjer> Does anyone have pointers on upgrading from 8.04 desktop to 9.04 server? I'm hoping to do a clean guided install, I just don't have burnable media or a bootable USB available.
[00:33] <stickapotomus> fair enough.
[00:34] <sebsebseb> dennda: 8.04 is recommended for proper servers
[00:34] <ReV1500> whats up?
[00:34] <sebsebseb> dennda: or any other LTS that is still supported such as Dapper just about
[00:34] <ReV1500> this is pretty cool
[00:34] <sebsebseb> dennda: only for server for that one though
[00:34] <benc1> how do I see the number of used file descriptors by a user?
[00:34] <sebsebseb> !lts |  dennda
[00:35] <syk> how do search for files in terminal, including hidden files

[00:36] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer:

[00:36] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer:  see above  when I messaged  the wrong person
[00:36] <ReV1500> wow
[00:36] <willluongo> magical_walrus: is it from a VM?
[00:37] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: Woah, Thanks! I didn't realize that 9.04 wasn't LTS
[00:37] <magical_walrus> willluongo, yes
[00:37] <deinspanjer> So what I want then is to really scrub and clean the machine to turn it from a cluttered 8.04 desktop to a new 8.04 server.
[00:37] <fccf> !java | tomas1
[00:38] <devon> anyone on know anything about wine and how to fix is sound problems?
[00:38] <fccf> devon: best to ask that in #winehq
[00:38] <devon> ty
[00:38] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: when I said any LTS for a proper server,  well  obviously people are unlikely to recommend now that you put on Ubuntu Dapper Drake  6.06.  Also no probs.
[00:38] <vasser> hello
[00:38] <vasser> any IL users in here ?
[00:38] <vasser> (and awake)
[00:38] <tomas1> i have installed that i did it as i found a link to RestrictedFormats and that had tools to install so i did but still nothing
[00:39] <fccf> tomas1: did you restart firefox?
[00:39] <tomas1> yes
[00:39] <willluongo> magical_walrus: you should be able to use the image manager in the VM to resize it... might be able to use gparted from within the instance I suppose
[00:39] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: So by the same token, 8.10 is not just a patch release to 8.04? i.e. it isn't LTS either?
[00:39] <tomas1> ok well i now have popcap games loading
[00:40] <tomas1> but the apps on facebook still wont load
[00:40] <Pici> deinspanjer: 8.10 is a separate release.
[00:40] <deinspanjer> I'm finding lots of hits on upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04 and 8.04 to 8.10, but I haven't seen the one that I'm wanting yet.
[00:40] <fccf> tomas1: the three main ones are sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin, do you have all 3?
[00:40] <Pici> deinspanjer: The release numbers are YY.MM
[00:40] <dragon> what switch makes curl print the headers only?
[00:40] <tomas1> i will check
[00:40] <Pirate_Hunter> i've got a bash template text file which I wish to remove some of its contents, this would be number at the start of each line and empty spaces left by it, is this possible through terminal commands if so how?
[00:40] <deinspanjer> Pici: Ah, well that clarifies things then. :)
[00:40] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: 8.10 isn't a LTS, but  for desktop usage it's quite a lot better than 8.04 really, also for certain people it's better than 9.04 even,   but  9.10 is out on October 29th and that should be pretty good
[00:41] <magical_walrus> willuongo: There isn't an image manager in the emulator, just an image creator. I am using pearpc (with a legally obtained copy of OS X on it) on windows, and was hoping Ubuntu was capable of resizing .IMG files
[00:41] <Pici> 9.10 is not lts either.
[00:41] <Pici> !lts
[00:41] <dragon> Pirate_Hunter: It is quite possible. You should start with `man tee`.
[00:41] <sebsebseb> Pici: indeed
[00:41] <fccf> deinspanjer: change all instances of hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list to intrepid, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:41] <Pirate_Hunter> dragon: ok
[00:41] <microhxo> I am having some issues with ubuntu 9.04 and TEW-424UB usb wireless adapter, it says connected and sees the network but i cant browse the internet, or if i can its extremely EXTREMELY SLOW and at most times wont work.

[00:42] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: basically for proper servers  use  the LTS,   for desktop usage, use whatever version you want, as long as it's still supported
[00:42] <dragon> Pirate_Hunter: just make sure you have a backup copy of the file you are running the commands on
[00:42] <asmm> or biriged or what?
[00:42] <fccf> asmm: get better answers to your questions in #vbox
[00:42] <Pici> sebsebseb: That really depends what on how often you like to upgrade.  My server runs 9.04
[00:43] <Pirate_Hunter> dragon: no problem it is a template i can get it again
[00:43] <sebsebseb> Pici: oh you got a 9.04 server,  but sure at what you said
[00:43] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: Definitely wanting as close to a "proper server" as I can get.  Does it seem feasible that I can get there from 8.04 desktop? Or am I going to have to wait until tomorrow and go buy media?
[00:44] <microhxo> Anyone know why 9.04 wireless internet is EXTREMELY SLOW or non existant using a trendnet usb wireless 2.0 adapter?
[00:44] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: you can run server stuff in the desktop version, however  the server version has a proper server kernel as well
[00:44] <magical_walrus> willluongo, Is there a utility for ubuntu that can resize .IMG files?
[00:44] <willluongo> magical_walrus: I don't know
[00:44] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer:  I guess you can kind of convert the desktop version to the server version some how, but  in that case, that woudn't  exactly be recommended
[00:44] <Pici> deinspanjer: 'proper server' is a very vague term.  Commerical companies don't want to upgrade their servers upgraded every 6 months, which is why we have an LTS release.
[00:45] <sebsebseb> Pici: indeed and when I put proper server, I meant  for example commercial companies
[00:45] <martin12345> how to disable automatic mounting(for example USB HDD) in ubuntu? My /etf/fstab looks like this --> http://pastebin.com/mb4fc181 I assume it's controlled by fuser?
[00:45] <stickapotomus> microhxo, what speed does your wireless connect at?
[00:45] <pvl1> magical_walrus, i think partition manager might
[00:45] <stickapotomus> microhxo, and what is your signal strength?
[00:45] <deinspanjer> I'm wanting a distro that is focused on stability and security releases rather than bleeding edge.
[00:45] <microhxo> Does not say, just says connected, and the signal strength is about 45%
[00:46] <deinspanjer> I'm not a corporation, but I'm hosting stuff that is important to me and visible on the internet.
[00:46] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb:
[00:46] <microhxo> i have the network setup wide open, no wpa or anything.
[00:46] <PlasmaSheep> I need a decent HDR tool. Any ideas?
[00:46] <phix> hey, does anyone here use the NetBeans package? auto complete seems to be broken
[00:46] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: such as?
[00:46] <foob> is there quide for recompiling kernel for unbuntu and installation of the new kernel
[00:46] <PlasmaSheep> phix: Submit a netbeans bug?
[00:46] <microhxo> But i cant ping any sites or the modem it self, sometimes i will get 2 or 3 pings that get through to the modem but most of the time it says unreachable.
[00:46] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: MythTV?
[00:46] <stickapotomus> ah. just curious. i'm running dual network cards; but my signal strength says 5%; even though if I boot out and boot into Vista I get full strength.
[00:46] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: haha, High Dynamic Range :P
[00:46] <phix> PlasmaSheep: It is only the package that does this
[00:46] <pvl1> phix go to the netbeans irc, i doubt its an ubuntu thing
[00:47] <phix> PlasmaSheep: so why would I submit a bug report to netbeans?
[00:47] <magical_walrus> pvl1, Thanks, I'll try that
[00:47] <PlasmaSheep> phix: Well, if it's a bug,.
[00:47] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: I'm not wanting to have a hybrid install, I just don't have media to put the server ISO on and boot from that.  I'm hoping I can install from within the 8.04 desktop environment.  I do have an external drive hooked up to it, but I can't make that bootable.
[00:47] <stickapotomus> microhxo, are you using the default network manager that comes with ubuntu?
[00:47] <microhxo> yea
[00:47] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: Toooo many Acronyms
[00:47] <The_Jag> Please, I need help for a easy thing: I need to move all file in a folder (and in subfolders) into another folder
[00:47] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: TMA :p
[00:47] <microhxo> i have no way to download a new one :|
[00:47] <The_Jag> I'm stuck :(
[00:48] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Command line or gui?
[00:48] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: you can put the server   stuff into  the 8.04 desktop,   altough that special server kernel hmm, but  you don't need that anyway I guess
[00:48] <The_Jag> CL
[00:48] <nostalgicBadger> cp *.* /destination/dir ?
[00:48] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: man cp
[00:48] <Nitrodist> phix: #netbeans
[00:48] <The_Jag> uhm
[00:48] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: also man mv
[00:48] <The_Jag> yes but
[00:48] <Nitrodist> why do so many people bring application issues into #ubuntu when those applications have their own channels :o
[00:48] <stickapotomus> microhxo, damn, that sucks. i had almost same problem this evening and gave up and installed Wicd instead because my wireless kept dying and couldn't ping out either.
[00:48] <fccf> The_Jag: cp *.* /dest/dir -R  .... the -R being recursively
[00:48] <sebsebseb> Pici: any suggestions on what  deinspanjer  should do regarding his server?
[00:49] <PlasmaSheep> Nitrodist: Get used to it :P
[00:49] <The_Jag> ah
[00:49] <stickapotomus> but in my case the signal strength alwas reported damn near 0%.
[00:49] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Or, or, man cp
[00:49] <The_Jag> i missed -R in man
[00:49] <The_Jag> TY
[00:49] <deinspanjer> Pici: Keep in mind, I'm not necessarily wanting to keep anything around from the desktop install.  I'm happy to end up with a fresh clean server install.
[00:49] <fccf> Nitrodist: perhaps because there are so many people in here that use those apps everyday
[00:49] <The_Jag> sry for stupid question btw :p
[00:50] <PlasmaSheep> I need a decent HDR tool. Any ideas?
[00:50] <phix> Nitrodist: ok
[00:50] <phix> Nitrodist: $10 I am told to ask my question on #ubuntu because it is a problem with the package :)
[00:50] <paissad-hp> hi all, i have a problem running a mpd client , here is my mpd.conf http://pastebin.com/f248c8516
[00:50] <Pici> deinspanjer: It doesn't really matter which you use.  The Xorg stuff isn't included in the long-term LTS stuff though, only server components get the full time frame for support.
[00:50] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: Please discribe (in detail) what you are trying to do, it might allow for better answers
[00:50] <zopiac> how do i ssh to another computer?
[00:50] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: Okay
[00:50] <Nitrodist> phix then how is an irc channel going to help if the package is broken?
[00:50] <fccf> !ssh | zopiac
[00:50] <Nitrodist> ~_~
[00:51] <root_> eai galera
[00:51] <stickapotomus> microhxo, sorry i'm not much more help. i just found i curious that someone else was having wireless problems.
[00:51] <PlasmaSheep> I need a decent HDR tool to make an HDR photo from several photos with varying exposures. Any ideas?
[00:51] <benc1> it is possible that lsof works only on ubuntu desktop and not on ubuntu server?
[00:51] <zopiac> thanks
[00:51] <paissad-hp> what's wrong with him ?
[00:51] <phix> Nitrodist: fix it
[00:51] <root_> alguem from brazilllll
[00:51] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: I believe imagemagick will do all that and more
[00:51] <sebsebseb> !br |  root_
[00:51] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: Imagemagick?
[00:52] <frexsolex> #maroc
[00:52] <PlasmaSheep> Are you sure?
[00:52] <Nitrodist> phix: you'd have to file a bug report
[00:52] <Nitrodist> or talk to the package maintainer
[00:52] <root_> #ubuntu.br
[00:52] <Nitrodist> both of which aren't covered in irc :o
[00:52] <fccf> !info imagemagick | PlasmaSheep
[00:52] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: it is command line only, but very powerful
[00:52] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/high-dynamic-range.php I don't want to recompile it if it's not enabled
[00:52] <The_Jag> it doesn't work
[00:52] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: I know what it is :P
[00:53] <The_Jag> uhm
[00:53] <root_> goo night brothers
[00:53] <nightlight> Can I use the 'up' line in /etc/network/interfaces to run a python script? Or perhaps even so (or not), what's the best way to run a script every time I connect to a specific wifi network?
[00:53] <frexsolex> hwo to go to german chat

[00:54] <x802> anyone have a netbook? does dvd play back works nicely or choppy?
[00:55] <nostalgicBadger> i have a netbook, but not one with a DVD drive
[00:55] <phix> Nitrodist: hmmmm, can you do it for me? :)
[00:55] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: I guess better really to stay with 8.04 for now
[00:55] <PlasmaSheep> x802: It would depend on your hardware mostly, but what program are you using?
[00:55] <benc1> how do I count the number of rows a command outputs in the shell?
[00:55] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: for the server
[00:55] <tomas1> some on please i cant play flash games on popcap.com the game gets to there logo on facebook i am faced with just a blank page
[00:55] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: But I had already accepted that I wanted to stay on 8.04.  I'm just wanting to get all the desktop cruft off the current install.
[00:55] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Is flash installed?
[00:56] <tomas1> yes it is and so is java
[00:56] <sebsebseb> Pici: can   deinspanjer  change his 8.04 desktop install, into the server install?
[00:56] <tomas1> i can see adds fine just not games
[00:56] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Do other flash things work?
[00:56] <microhxo> Ok this is bothering me, in ubuntu for my wireless network, it says that i am connected to my network at 54mbps and it gives everything correctly, but when i try to ping my router it says Unreachable, and i cant go on the internet, what is going on?
[00:56] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: let me do some looking to see if there is a ppa for that
[00:56] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: nitrome.com <- can you play those games?
[00:56] <tomas1> hold on
[00:57] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: I tried qtpfsgui, but it gave me weird sh** results
[00:57] <sebsebseb> !langauge |  PlasmaSheep
[00:57] <The_Jag> it didn't work! not all files were copied into the new folder, how come ?
[00:57] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: I didn't say anything
[00:57] <xnox> hello! is it possible to find out which process is uploading data? my machine is uploading at 180KiB/s for a while now and I'm not doing anything! Please help =)
[00:57] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: it still counts what you did
[00:57] <PlasmaSheep> =/
[00:58] <abcdefg> There is a possibility of while downloading a torrent of a movie to watch at the same time? When i try it even with 50% of completion the movie seems broken in some start parts.
[00:58] <The_Jag> I have folder1/folder2-3-4-5 and i want to move all mp3 files from those subfolders into folderK
[00:58] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: What kind of movie?
[00:58] <PlasmaSheep> abcdefg: The way torrents work is that some parts are downloaded before others (it's not sequential, I don't think).
[00:58] <PlasmaSheep> Either that, or I'm wrong.
[00:58] <abcdefg> .AVI
[00:58] <Pirate_Hunter> just tried command chmod 750 /etc/init.d/..., however the permission comes as follow -rwxr-x---, hmm shouldnt group be able to read also?
[00:59] <stickapotomus> microhxo, you can ping www.google.com for example?
[00:59] <abcdefg> PlasmaSheep: makes sense
[00:59] <microhxo> no
[00:59] <willluongo> Pirate_Hunter: no, 5 is execute only
[00:59] <microhxo> no response
[00:59] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Is it working?
[00:59] <willluongo> Pirate_Hunter: I am sorry, misread that
[00:59] <stickapotomus> nm.
[00:59] <bucky> xnox, maybe netstat --statistics
[00:59] <tomas1> no its not it loads a little then stops
[00:59] <willluongo> Pirate_Hunter: it is read and execute for group
[00:59] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: I didn't mean the format
[00:59] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: How did you install flash?
[01:00] <tomas1> through the add remove part of ubuntu
[01:00] <abcdefg> what do you mean?
[01:00] <stickapotomus> microhxo, ifconfig returns an ip addy?
[01:00] <The_Jag> pls, anyone? i'm lost
[01:00] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: open a command line (applications>accessories,terminal)
[01:00] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: what kind of movie your downloading, but  not really relivant
[01:00] <abcdefg> ah, i cant say
[01:00] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: We need more info than "it doesn't work"
[01:00] <abcdefg> you know
[01:00] <tomas1> done
[01:00] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: type of movie
[01:00] <Pirate_Hunter> willluongo: yes it is for some reason I was adding an extra line/space inbetween each sectio so it diddn't seem right, sorry
[01:00] <abcdefg> ;-)
[01:01] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: yeah, because uhmmm
[01:01] <bucky> xnox, or netstat --program
[01:01] <x802> PlasmaSheep, windows meadia player and VLC to play DVD
[01:01] <sebsebseb> !piracy >  abcdefg
[01:01] <The_Jag>  I have folder1/folder2-3-4-5 and i want to move all mp3 files from those subfolders into folderK
[01:01] <abcdefg> NO

[01:01] <stealth-> how can I make commands that will get run at bootup?
[01:01] <sebsebseb> ok
[01:01] <xnox> bucky: hmmm doesn't tell me much =( just loads requests send out
[01:01] <sebsebseb> uh
[01:01] <abcdefg> ;-)
[01:01] <bucky> xnox, or netstat --program
[01:01] <bucky> xnox, do you have ubuntu one?
[01:01] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: I meant for the first thing about it not being piracy,  and yes you shoudn't say  the other thing
[01:01] <The_Jag> all it says is that there are no such files in the current folder
[01:01] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 to install flash

[01:02] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Are you in the proper directory?
[01:02] <The_Jag> yes
[01:02] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: What if it's unobtainable through legal means?
[01:02] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: What command did you use?
[01:02] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: Thanks for digging around for me, I'll check it out

[01:03] <alankila> Sky[x]: hide all output from stdout and stderr (the latter >& means clone filehandle 2 to point wherever handle 1 points).
[01:04] <xnox> bucky: maybe pulseaudio is broadcasting? dunno gonna check now
[01:04] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: And what did you say the error was?
[01:04] <bucky> xnox, you'd know if you have ubuntu one because you'd have to sign up for online storage and install ubuntu's software for that
[01:05] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: impossible to execute stat of "/home/fabio/Musica/m/*.mp3": No such file or directory
[01:05] <zopiac> ssh guide fails, i do what it says and it doesnt happen
[01:05] <zopiac> or i fail, one of the two
[01:05] <xnox> bucky: well apt just told me that I don't have ubuntuone-client installed =)
[01:05] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Make sure they're in .mp3 format and not in, say, ogg or MP3
[01:05] <abcdefg> The_Jag: what do you want?

[01:06] <PlasmaSheep> What did you expect?
[01:06] <FelipeUser> How I see if ubuntu recognized my wifi usb adapter?
[01:06] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: I meant only the flash compatibility part
[01:06] <Pirate_Hunter> I wish to close my ssh terminal but still keep my application running, is there a way to do this?
[01:06] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: ok, then how can i embrace all kind of extension? Mp3 mp3 and MP3?
[01:06] <xnox> bucky: I've enabled OpenDNS on my router today could that be the problem?
[01:06] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: use screen
[01:06] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Well, if there's only music in there, leave off the *.mp3 part
[01:07] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: I wanted to  use the !piracy factoid, I guess I like the factoids a bit to much at times
[01:07] <tomas1> o well might as well do them all never know when i need the others

[01:07] <fccf> x404x: not really, that distro is more for educational institutions
[01:07] <abcdefg> The_Jag: hang on
[01:07] <FelipeUser> How I see if ubuntu recognized my wifi usb adapter?
[01:07] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: no, there are also other thing, could I use *.??3?
[01:07] <stickapotomus> FelipeUser, it doesn't show it automagically in the network applet?
[01:07] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Okay, in that case system->administration->synaptic package manager
[01:08] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: no
[01:08] <fccf> FelipeUser: lsusb
[01:08] <x404x> fccf ok thanx

[01:08] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: *.**3
[01:08] <tomas1> ???
[01:08] <tomas1> ok
[01:08] <fccf> x404x: good start here www.ubuntupocketguide.com
[01:08] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: oh ok thought it was the same as win jolly chars
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: You can also make your extensions lowercase whenever you download stuff :P
[01:09] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: with rename?
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Also, if you want a good batch renamer, try metamorphose2
[01:09] <zopiac> agh, i dont understand ssh DX
[01:09] <fccf> The_Jag: uh, *.**3
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: in the cli it's done with move
[01:09] <FelipeUser> stickapotomus,  it dont show in the network applet
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: *.**3
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> :P
[01:09] <tomas1> PlasmsSheep have it open
[01:09] <arand> PlasmaSheep: The_Jag: Isn't that double ** superfluous? And that would match .m3u and stuff as well?
[01:10] <stickapotomus> FelipeUser, yeah try lsusb then
[01:10] <stickapotomus> like fccf said.
[01:10] <FelipeUser> stickapotomus, ok
[01:10] <PlasmaSheep> arand: Ah, you're right, but it won't match m3u
[01:10] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: oh i'll try that application
[01:10] <stickapotomus> if it's not there, then .. its not there.
[01:10] <arand> PlasmaSheep: oh, right, ehe.
[01:10] <PlasmaSheep> arand: *.*3 means it will match anything with a three at the end of it's extension
[01:10] <PlasmaSheep> *its

[01:11] <fccf> ziesemer: better answers to your question in #ubuntu-server
[01:11] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: then close and try again
[01:11] <ziesemer> fccf: Will ask there, thanks.
[01:11] <stickapotomus> FelipeUser: right. well that's about the extent of my ubuntu knowledge.
[01:11] <tomas1> they already are selected
[01:12] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Actually, don't close
[01:12] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: in the CLI, apt-get update
[01:12] <stickapotomus> someone else might be able to better help. i just installed ubuntu this week :)
[01:12] <FelipeUser> stickapotomus: ok
[01:12] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: which package failed to download?
[01:12] <abcdefg> The_Jag: forget me
[01:12] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: LOL it still didn't copy all files! what the hell? :)

[01:13] <tomas1> umm thats a good question it does not say it just gives me that error
[01:13] <fccf> FelipeUser: I think I have had expierence with that card... lemme think...yes ... that card will work under ndiswrapper using the windows driver
[01:13] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Well, clearly there's no music in that folder :P
[01:13] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: What's the error again?
[01:14] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: I know! I want the music from its subfolders
[01:14] <FelipeUser> fccf, how i do this?
[01:14] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: ahhhhhhh
[01:14] <PlasmaSheep> :P
[01:14] <tomas1> E: Couldn't find package non-free-codecs
[01:14] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: :D
[01:14] <abcdefg> cp *.mp3 /home/fabio/Musica/
[01:14] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: It couldn't download non-free-codecs
[01:14] <tomas1> yea
[01:14] <habanot2> hey
[01:14] <FelipeUser> fccf, could you enter xubuntu channel?
[01:15] <fccf> FelipeUser: stand by
[01:15] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: In that case, try doing this: ~/Musica/m/*/*.*3 (correct path if I got it wrong) and pray
[01:15] <habanot2> i need a bit of help getting my wintv go and remote working under my new ubuntu install
[01:15] <habanot2> im quite a newb to all of this
[01:15] <mybad> i would like to install gitorious on my server and it depend on  exim4 "The following packages are BROKEN:
[01:15] <mybad>   exim4 exim4-config
[01:15] <mybad> " (jaunty server)
[01:15] <syk> my sound isnt as loud as it should be, i have everything turned all the way up in volume control
[01:15] <habanot2> been googleing but cant quite figure it out
[01:15] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: i tried that before with no luck :(
[01:15] <mybad> oops sorry for my past
[01:15] <tomas1> is there a way to just put ubuntu back to install defults
[01:16] <mybad> anyone knows where to have xim4 package please ?
[01:16] <abcdefg> find . -f *.mp3 cp {} /home/fabio/Musica/
[01:16] <sebsebseb> tomas1: what do you want to do?
[01:16] <cstryon> Ok, I am using a Laptop, I JUST installed Ubuntu, I am completely new. I did the Sudo lshw -c network and it showed the wireless as disabled. So I connected with Ethernet, sure enough I got pdates, installed ndissomethingsomething and it found drivers, I installed those drivers, and now when I do sudo lshw -c network it doesn't say disabled, but I can't see any networks when I click on the network manager.
[01:16] <abcdefg> The_Jag:
[01:16] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: You'll need to do some fancy bash scripting (well, relatively) then
[01:16] <tomas1> to start again to see if that fixes it
[01:16] <sebsebseb> tomas1: yeah your issue is up there some where, can you repeate it quickly for me?
[01:16] <tomas1> just place ubuntu into the state it was after installation (with out reinstalling)
[01:16] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: take a screenshot of the first screen of the software sources window and put it on imageshack
[01:17] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: that will solve nothing
[01:17] <tomas1> i cant play flash/java games i have all drivers and stuff installed but not working
[01:17] <remi> mac rule
[01:17] <sebsebseb> tomas1: you did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[01:17] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep, abcdefg: TY I'll try new way tomorrow, I'm just too sleepy now :D
[01:17] <sebsebseb> !troll > remi
[01:17] <epaphus> does the order of how the hard disks (SATA) are connected in the MoBO dtermine in linux who gets the letter sda or sdb ?
[01:17] <tomas1> no but then i can start from scratch with you guys helping as it may of been something i have done wrong
[01:17] <PlasmaSheep> remi: Oh, I love their ability to right cli- oh, wait....
[01:17] <tomas1> installed them sebsebseb
[01:17] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: cool, night then
[01:17] <The_Jag> Pl
[01:17] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: take a screenshot of the first screen of the software sources window and put it on imageshack
[01:18] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: ty, bye!
[01:18] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: np
[01:18] <tomas1> okk hang on

[01:19] <sebsebseb> !lol >  Guest54697
[01:19] <Guest54697> oops sorry
[01:20] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Did you do apt-get update ?
[01:20] <sebsebseb> Guest54697: Do you have an  Ubuntu question?
[01:20] <tomas1> i did yes
[01:20] <cstryon> Can anyone help me? I explained my problem
[01:20] <edbian> What does this IPtables rule do?  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $IFACE -j MASQUERADE
[01:20] <hurley> hy
[01:20] <edbian> Sets up NAT right?
[01:20] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Did you try to download it after?
[01:20] <n-iCe> is it true? ubuntu is the most used linux distro?
[01:20] <sebsebseb> n-iCe: on the destkop yes, on the server no
[01:20] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: It's likely to be true
[01:20] <alankila> edbian: yes, all packets leaving IFACE will be masqueraded.
[01:20] <tomas1> yea and same error
[01:20] <n-iCe> sebsebseb: which distro is on server?
[01:20] <tomas1> i will try again
[01:20] <hurley> i have one 7300 gt in ubuntu 9.04...
[01:20] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: Redhat
[01:21] <sebsebseb> n-iCe: Redhat and Debian  for example, you can ask these kind of questions in #ubuntu-offtopic by the way
[01:21] <edbian> alankila: So "iface" should be the nic connected to my lan?  Or the nic connected to my ISP?
[01:21] <n-iCe> PlasmaSheep:  I see, well, I am back to Ubuntu, things have changed a lot here.
[01:21] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: I dunno now, ask sebsebseb :P
[01:21] <hurley> in glxgears frames is very slow... about 1700
[01:21] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: heh
[01:21] <tomas1> lol ok i will ask sebsebseb
[01:21] <DaZ> hurley: glxgear is not a benchmark :f
[01:21] <sebsebseb> tomas1: did you sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:21] <PlasmaSheep> hurley: glxgears is not an accurate representation of speed
[01:21] <alankila> edbian: well, it has to be the outbound interface.
[01:21] <n-iCe> PlasmaSheep:  for how long have you been an Ubuntu user?
[01:21] <alankila> it's in postrouting step and all...
[01:22] <tomas1> yes i did and there was still nothing
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: since 7.10
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> From fedora 8
[01:22] <edbian> alankila: ?  Packets travel both ways on a network.  What do you mean "outbound" ??
[01:22] <n-iCe> have you tried any other distro?
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> edbian: packets going out?
[01:22] <sebsebseb> n-iCe: yes
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: fedora, knoppix (heh)
[01:22] <alankila> yes, packets going out... like, to the wider network
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> alankila: aka, the internet :P
[01:23] <edbian> say eth0 is my ISP and eth1 is my network.  What should "iface" be in this rule?
[01:23] <hurley> how can I see if the card is running with maximum efficiency?
[01:23] <sebsebseb> n-iCe: when I started with Linux there was no Ubuntu,  so my choice was Debian or Fedora Core,  I went  Fedora Core 2, anyway #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:23] <edbian> PlasmaSheep: Yeah.  Packets leave the computer...
[01:23] <alankila> edbian: tell you what, linux is crazy enough that it works even if you add both, but by now you should know that it would suffice to add it only for eth0.
[01:23] <hurley> how can I see if the card 7300 gt is running with maximum efficiency?
[01:23] <edbian> alankila: Please start with my name so I see what you type.  I almost missed that last comment ;)
[01:23] <brent> anyone know how to toggle between languages in ubuntu?
[01:23] <tomas1> i am going to just try a fresh installation of ubuntu and then get you guys to walk me through it is that ok
[01:23] <margarita> ow do i get four walls on my cube for compiz? it only has two, thankyou
[01:23] <sebsebseb> brent: switch between?
[01:23] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: That's a horrible idea
[01:24] <edbian> alankila: PM me.  It's crazy in here.
[01:24] <tomas1> well it might work
[01:24] <brent> yes switch between
[01:24] <sebsebseb> brent: yes  easy
[01:24] <tomas1> i only installed it yesterday and i can do it again
[01:24] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Buying a new computer has the same chances of working
[01:24] <fccf> margarita: right click on the desktop switcher and set it to have 4 desktops
[01:24] <brent> like.. sometimes i want to type english... and other times korean
[01:24] <stickapotomus> rofl
[01:24] <sebsebseb> brent: add the langauge  thingey to the desktop, then in it's settings  set up your other langauge, and have one as default
[01:24] <patx> is there a .deb for http://www.bpython-interpreter.org/
[01:24] <sebsebseb> brent: uh to the desktop, I meant the panal, right click and add
[01:24] <margarita> fccf, where is that at
[01:25] <brent> sebsebseb, where do i do that...
[01:25] <PlasmaSheep> margarita: default bottom right
[01:25] <eltew> Is it possible to automatically login and startup a console program in tty2 upon logging into my gnome session?
[01:25] <sebsebseb> brent: the top or bottom panal
[01:25] <margarita> plasmasheep, thanks got it
[01:25] <fccf> margarita: bottom right corner, 2 brown boxes ... rt click ... properties
[01:25] <margarita> fccf, thanks
[01:25] <dtam> eltew.. create a shell script and use sessions to add it to run upon startup
[01:26] <sebsebseb> tomas1: I didn't follow your issue properly remind me, Java and Flash was the problem?
[01:26] <margarita> fccf, i got it thanks
[01:26] <tomas1> yes they just wont work
[01:26] <eltew> dtam: i'm not familiar with any of that.  perhaps you could link me to a site that would better explain it?  I do appreciate your assistance.
[01:26] <sebsebseb> tomas1: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[01:26] <tomas1> i will see
[01:27] <sebsebseb> tomas1: in the terminal you know about the terminal yes?
[01:27] <tomas1> yea i do
[01:27] <tomas1> its already installed
[01:27] <Darksoul69> I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
[01:27] <sebsebseb> tomas1: ok
[01:27] <eltew> dtam: i am checking google, perhaps i now that i know what i wanna do, i'll find a tutorial.  thanks for the heads up.
[01:28] <sebsebseb> tomas1: sudo apt-get install sun-jave6-jre
[01:28] <brent> 아
[01:28] <tomas1> already done
[01:28] <tomas1> thats the problems
[01:28] <sebsebseb> tomas1: it says they are installed, but they don't work?
[01:28] <burntresistor> where can i get the udf driver needed to run my 360 hd dvd on ubuntu
[01:29] <tomas1> yes
[01:29] <burntresistor> not sure which driver i need
[01:29] <tomas1> hence im going to start with a clean install to see where i went wrong
[01:29] <sebsebseb> tomas1: that may not fix it
[01:29] <Darksoul69> I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
[01:29] <tomas1> good thing is ubuntu 9.04 does not take as long to install as windows vista does
[01:29] <sebsebseb> tomas1: Flash is sometimes an issue to install, and maybe also sometimes Java as well
[01:30] <microhxo> Ok this is weird, I get an internet connection using this Wireless usb adapter but i only get internet when the signal is full 5 bars, if it drops to 3 or lower the internet stops working!
[01:30] <sebsebseb> tomas1: you can  remove them from Synaptic
[01:30] <microhxo> does anyone have a fix for this?
[01:30] <sebsebseb> tomas1: and then install again
[01:30] <microhxo> the computer is litterally 10 feet from the wireless router.
[01:30] <tomas1> yes but i have othere things that might be interfearing like my lampp server software
[01:30] <sebsebseb> tomas1: that is unlikely
[01:30] <Darksoul69> I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled\
[01:31] <Darksoul69> I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled **
[01:31] <IdleOne> DarkChewie: #winehq
[01:31] <sebsebseb> tomas1: Linux programs tend not to  conflict with  other Linux programs,   on Windows on the other hand, well yes programs  might not work so well together
[01:31] <IdleOne> Darksoul69: #winehq
[01:31] <Darksoul69> IdleOne: Thats nice, but it was working fine until a reboot..
[01:31] <Darksoul69> IdleOne: So I doubt they can help me
[01:31] <LucidGuy> Picking myself up a netbook but thinking on getting either a 1gig ram model of 2gig.  Does anyone know if the 2gig will consume allot more battery life?
[01:31] <microhxo> Anyone? this wireless adapter works sometimes, only when i get full bars and otherwise it wont work at all!
[01:31] <IdleOne> Darksoul69: that's unfortunate but it is a wine issue
[01:32] <tomas1> well im going to give it a go bbs
[01:32] <sebsebseb> !ot |  LucidGuy
[01:32] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1 fails
[01:32] <sebsebseb> LucidGuy: also you could ask in ##hardware
[01:33] <jouva> I'm having issues getting my optical drives being recognized by my system. They're on an IDE port that's using a JMicron chipset and the BIOS screen doesn't report them directly, but JMicron reports them as part of a RAID.
[01:33] <LucidGuy> sebsebseb, Im ordering the Ubuntu Dell miniV .. its loaded with Ubuntu, thats why I was aksing.
[01:33] <sebsebseb> LucidGuy: ok well it's still offtopic really for this channal
[01:33] <LucidGuy> I disagree ... Linux distros are known for being pigs when it comes to battery consumption.
[01:34] <cstryon> I went through the wireless docs and troubleshooting info, i couldn't find anything to help with my problem
[01:34] <sebsebseb> LucidGuy: your question is hardware realted not software related in anyway really hence  being off topic really as far as I know
[01:34] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: that works only with jpeg files
[01:34] <PlasmaSheep> That's a pity
[01:34] <LucidGuy> urg
[01:36] <VickiWong> Hey guys, having trouble booting into my Ubuntu machine. It says the filesystem down't have /sbin/init and cannot find file/directories /root/dev /root/sys or /root/proc to moount
[01:36] <PlasmaSheep> VickiWong: you screwed up good is my guess
[01:36] <cstryon> Is there a channel for wireless issues on ubuntu?
[01:36] <VickiWong> I check one of my lost+found folders and it is full of subfolders and files, including bash
[01:36] <Spudster> I have an NFS volume that comes un-mounted after a few days, is there any way to monitor for this, and force Ubuntu to re-mount the volume if its disconnected?
[01:36] <arand> VickiWong: new install?
[01:36] <sebsebseb> cstryon: yes this one
[01:36] <VickiWong> arand: no
[01:36] <PlasmaSheep> VickiWong: my inexpert advice: save what you can (home dir, etc) and install anew
[01:36] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: you want to work with raw images?
[01:36] <VickiWong> it was fine last night, but this morning i was getting a few weird things happening andn ow this
[01:37] <prabs> hi
[01:37] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: raw/tiff/lossless
[01:37] <jouva> VickiWong: How long have you had it installed?
[01:37] <benc1> how can I tell what is the name of the user running a server ?
[01:37] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: I'm one of "those" :P
[01:37] <VickiWong> jouva:probably a good month+
[01:37] <jouva> Hmmm
[01:37] <needhelp> hi all
[01:37] <jouva> Yeah it's probably best that you just copy documents/data maybe some settings
[01:37] <jouva> And start fresh
[01:38] <jouva> It'll be much less hastle
[01:38] <arand> VickiWong: That seems undoubtedly messy, tried manual fsck from livecd? (although if important stuff's ended up in lost+found, it might be garbled good.)
[01:38] <coilette> i need media help.. my multi-card reader does not work (texus intraments i believe) and my cell phone (moto-rokr) detecs its been connected to my pc via usb, (says that the card is not available, becuase its been opened by computer) but the pc doesnt detect it or the card. any ideas?
[01:38] <PlasmaSheep> VickiWong: lost+found is the folder where fragmented/corrupted data goes.
[01:39] <PlasmaSheep> So, yeah.
[01:39] <cstryon> Ok, I am using a Laptop, I JUST installed Ubuntu, I am completely new. I did the Sudo lshw -c network and it showed the wireless as disabled. So I connected with Ethernet, sure enough I got pdates, installed ndiswrapper and it found drivers, I installed those drivers, and now when I do sudo lshw -c network it doesn't say disabled, but I can't see any networks when I click on the network manager.
[01:39] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: you can probably  put in a LIve CD, and access your partition from it and any data
[01:39] <KurtKraut> After I login in thru GDM, the numpad on my keyboard stops working, no matter numlock is on or off. The numpad keys are currently moving the mouse but no accessibility is enable. How can I fix that?
[01:39] <needhelp> what do i have to do to start X? with nouveau it reports 'detected gpu lockup' and with vesa it reports 'error setting mtrr'
[01:39] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: what about recovery mode/knoppix?
[01:40] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: What about Knoppix?
[01:40] <VickiWong> i have my HDD partitioned into /boot /(root)  /usr /opt /srv /var /home whats my best way to reinstall ubuntu and save the most of my stuff without causing conflicts?
[01:40] <PlasmaSheep> Knoppix is to linux what Jesus is to Christians.
[01:40] <habanot2> hey im having a real hard time  i cant seem to get my hauppauge to work can anyone please help me my tv tuner card is def working i juts cant seem to get lirc to work
[01:40] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: meaning?
[01:40] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, i am able to access all my partitions when booting from my 2nd HDD fine
[01:40] <tomas1> one more question before i go what is the browser that gives every one permission to access what ever folder they wont
[01:40] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: He could save his stuff by accessing it with knoppix
[01:40] <habanot2> its the remote im having the problem with
[01:40] <needhelp> is there something that can be done about it?
[01:40] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: it's a saviour
[01:40] <IdleOne> PlasmaSheep: he can do the same with Ubuntu live cd
[01:40] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: I am not sure, but  I think  VickiWong is actsauly a she by the way
[01:41] <PlasmaSheep> IdleOne: yeah, I guess
[01:41] <PlasmaSheep> IdleOne: but shh :P
[01:41]  * IdleOne looks at channel name
[01:41] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: there are no women on the internet :P
[01:41] <logos> My ethernet controller eth1 is recognized in the "ifconfig" but is not connecting, somebody  help me?
[01:41] <tomas1> it sounded like nucleus
[01:41] <nightlite> can the 'up' line for interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces be used to run a python script or only sh scripts? if not (or I guess even if so), what would be the best way to run a script every time I connect to a specific wireless network
[01:41] <VickiWong> oh yes a she :D and i have Ubuntu running on a 2nd HDD and am able to mount the partitions from the messed up drive
[01:41] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: there are and that  joke can be rather offensive to them
[01:41] <needhelp> anyone?
[01:41] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: I'm kidding.
[01:41] <IdleOne> PlasmaSheep: two of the most accomplished Ubuntu/linux people I know are women
[01:41] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: doesn't matter,  they can still get offended by it
[01:42] <IdleOne> but that is ot
[01:42] <PlasmaSheep> I have a sister, I know there are women on the internet.
[01:42] <sebsebseb> !women |  PlasmaSheep
[01:42] <tisek> there are plenty of women on the internet if u know what i mean ...
[01:42] <tomas1> got it
[01:42] <PlasmaSheep> oh my god
[01:42] <PlasmaSheep> flamebait
[01:42]  * PlasmaSheep covers
[01:42] <logos> anyone?

[01:42] <tisek> sr
[01:42] <tisek> sry*
[01:43] <cstryon> Ok anywhere else I might be able to aside from the docs i just looked at where I can get some sort of answer?
[01:43] <pepperphd> hi. not on this computer, but on a little mac g3 on which i have ubuntu 9, the mouse phases in and out of operation. i get a kernel message saying 'unable to enumerate usb device on port [whichever port i have the mouse in]. is this a driver problem?
[01:43] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: the messed up drive?
[01:44] <Spudster> Looking for help - I have an NFS volume that comes un-mounted after a few days, is there any way to monitor for this, and force Ubuntu to re-mount the volume if its disconnected?
[01:44] <PlasmaSheep> VickiWong: In any case, I suggest you download/burn a live cd (I say knoppix, but I guess it doesn't matter), then copy your stuff somewhere safe off the broken disk/partition, then reinstall
[01:45] <VickiWong> so anyone have a tip on how to reinstall ubuntu whilst saving my apps/data/settings without causing conflicts? my partitions are /boot /(root) /usr /opt /srv /var /home
[01:45] <needhelp> it seems that all the users that actually help are sleeping
[01:45] <Kalmi> Spudster, well... you could write a simple script that checks for the existence of a folder on the mounted share and if it is not there it remounts it...
[01:45] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: why have you got seperate  /usr   /opt  and  /srv and /var
[01:45] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: Don't you?
[01:45] <Kalmi> Spudster, but finding the cause of the unmounts would be a nicer solution...
[01:45] <Spudster> Kalmi: Thanks I'll give it a shot
[01:45] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: surely you only need /   and  /home    if you want that seperate,   by default everything goes in /
[01:46] <Spudster> Kalmi: Is there a log that I can look at to see what the cause may be?
[01:46] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, i was given this as a partition scheme, told it would make things easier to manage/recover
[01:46] <logos> My ethernet controller eth1 is recognized in the "ifconfig" but is not connecting, somebody  help me?
[01:46] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: by someone that has used Unix for  many, many years?
[01:46] <arand> sebsebseb: VickiWong: would reinstalling only / whilst keeping the rest intact be doable?
[01:47] <n8tuser> logos -> not connecting to where?
[01:47] <Kalmi> Spudster, I dunno... maybe dmesg?
[01:47] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: some  of the old skool Unix people  still do that kind of set up,  but  most other people are going to have it all in  /   or    do a serpate /home as well,   and possibily a seperate /boot depending on the file system they are running
[01:47] <pepperphd> hi. not on this computer, but on a little mac g3 on which i have ubuntu 9, the mouse phases in and out of operation. i get a kernel message saying 'unable to enumerate usb device on port [whichever port i have the mouse in]. is this a driver problem?
[01:47] <Spudster> Kalmi: Thanks I'll have a look
[01:47] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, the scheme was found here http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_partition
[01:48] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: well  partition setups vary, there isn't one proper way to do it,  it depends on the user, and  what they are going to do on the computer
[01:48] <VickiWong> is it an issue having them all on seperate partitions? or just overkill :D
[01:48] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: it's overkill yeah
[01:48] <logos> n8tuser i dont receive the stats "connected", what im trying to do is to put my 2 ethernet drivers to share my internet connection between ubuntu and a windows, cause my internet provider blocks the sharing if i dont have a  router.
[01:48] <n8tuser> VickiWong -> but its always good to have a separate  /home  partition
[01:49] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: yep what n8tuser said
[01:49] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: well usauly good to have a seperate /home again depends on the computer and  al that
[01:49] <jouva> I'm having issues getting my optical drives being recognized by my system. They're on an IDE port that's using a JMicron chipset and the BIOS screen doesn't report them directly, but JMicron reports them as part of a RAID.
[01:49] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, so considering i have these seperate partitions is it best i move files off the HDD, wipe, reinstall ubuntu, or do i just need to wipe certain partitions when reinstallin ubuntu
[01:50] <n8tuser> logos -> 2 ethernet drivers? i dont follow.. do you have a network layout drawing you can share so we can make comments?
[01:50] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: why do you want to re install Ubuntu?
[01:50] <microhxo> sudo apt-get install ndisgtk says invalid why?
[01:50] <microhxo> 9.04
[01:50] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, ubuntu is no longer booting
[01:50] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: oh right yeah
[01:50] <jouva> sebsebseb: The file layout got really really fubar
[01:51] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: for people with a working  Ubuntu install that want to reinstall for some reason,   I would normalley say wait untill 9.10 is released at the end of October, with the default Ext4 file system :),   but for people like you,   re installing does sound good   /  and /home
[01:51] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: and a swap if you want
[01:52] <microhxo> why doesnt this work in 9.04 ? sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[01:52] <danbhfive> microhxo: do you have the cd in the drive?  have you run sudo apt-get update?
[01:52] <logos> n8tuser sure, i moment
[01:52] <logos> 1*
[01:52] <microhxo> Havent ran sudo apt-get update
[01:52] <VickiWong> so move my files off and wipe whole drive before installing? or do i keep the / and /home partitions intact while installing
[01:52] <microhxo> will do that now
[01:52] <monster> will there be an upgrade options for .10? or will you have to install it fresh?
[01:53] <microhxo> thing is, i have internet for like 5 seconds at a time then i have nothing!
[01:53] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: how big is your /home ?
[01:53] <noobuntu> sudo modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found
[01:53] <VickiWong> over 100GB
[01:53] <sebsebseb> VickiWong:  the main idea of having a seperate /home is so it's easier to re install
[01:53] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: so yes you can keep that
[01:53] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: / and all that you can get rid of and start over
[01:53] <arand> VickiWong: I think the / partition is the one that needs reinstalling the most, /home is probably best keps intact.
[01:54] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: / will be Ubuntu when you re install
[01:54] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: when you re install though  you need to tell it in manual install   that you want the old /home to be the home
[01:54] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: otherwise it will just end up being a data partition,  and  your home will be in /
[01:54] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, arand, will i loose installed software? as i recall only app settings and personal files are on /home
[01:55] <stickapotomus> microhxo, i'm not sure what to tell you. i had the same problem earlier, esp with the wireless network saying 0% - even though I could boot back into Vista and have them show 100% signal.
[01:55] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: yes you will lose installed software
[01:55] <microhxo> I ran sudo apt-get update but i got a bunch of failed to fetch errors
[01:55] <stickapotomus> microhxo, i just went and installed Wicd, your results may vary.
[01:55] <arand> VickiWong: yes, you will have to reinstall all applications, however there are ways to make that quite simple: ...
[01:56] <logos> n8tuser http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2223/imagem2hd.png somthing like that
[01:56] <sebsebseb> arand: such as?
[01:56] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, as i can still mount all of myy drives (but not chroot) is there a an easy way to grab a list of what i have installed etc?
[01:56] <microhxo> when i try to run sudo apt-get ndgistk i get invalid operation
[01:56] <microhxo> same with Wicd
[01:56] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: I think there is, but I don't know about that, but I think arand might
[01:56] <ctmjr> !aptoncd
[01:56] <sebsebseb>  VickiWong dpkg -l  I am thinking hmm
[01:57] <danbhfive> microhxo: oops, missed it!  its sudo apt-get install ndisgtk                 you missed the "install"
[01:57] <microhxo> Ahhh

[01:57] <arand> VickiWong: http://www.2030.tk/wiki/Backup_Installed_Software_List_on_Ubuntu has a scheme for it.
[01:58] <n8tuser> logos  so where is the problem?

[01:58] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[01:59] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[01:59] <VickiWong> arand, and this will work without booting into the Ubuntu in question?
[01:59] <logos> n8tuser and share the eth0 ( that will be connected to the internet ) with eth1
[01:59] <logos> but eth1 is not even connecting
[01:59] <n8tuser> logos -> do you have a hub between eth1 and your client nic?
[01:59] <ShapeShifter499> I just installed java for ubuntu powerpc and I can't get firefox to see the plugin what do I do?
[01:59] <sebsebseb> !language |  cappicard
[01:59] <noobuntu> I was trying to do remote mount through ssh. Installed sshfs but sudo modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found please...
[01:59] <logos> yes
[01:59] <sebsebseb> cappicard: yes stuff like that can happen
[01:59] <logos> n8tuser yes
[02:00] <sebsebseb> cappicard: Flash in Ubuntu doing stuff like that
[02:00] <Kalmi> logos, what have you tried so far?
[02:00] <logos> n8tuser i was pretty suceeded in the windows doing this connection
[02:00] <n8tuser> logos -> your eth1 is not up or not showing it being up..  how do you plan to allocate the ip address to the client and this eth1  ?
[02:00] <cappicard> this is 64-bit... i just watch an youtube video. my cpu spikes out with memory over 1GB. to the point I can barely move my mouse around.

[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard: and with FIrefox?
[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard: yes I have had these kind of issues before
[02:01] <cappicard> yes
[02:01] <Kalmi> ShapeShifter499, um... restart firefox?
[02:01] <ShapeShifter499> I did
[02:01] <ShapeShifter499> and restarted my comp
[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard: well Flash is closed source and  for some reason, it does stuff like that, to some of us
[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard: in Firefox in Ubuntu
[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard:  What do you want to use Flash for?
[02:02] <lab4> is there any way to display duplicate folders in 2 different locations? e.g. a folder containing folders of pictures on my hard drive and a folder containing pictures of folders on my external

[02:02] <Kalmi> sebsebseb,  :D
[02:02] <cappicard> i dont do anything out of the ordinary for it
[02:02] <sebsebseb> cappicard: ok I think  Swfdec or Gnash, may be good enough for that now
[02:02] <ShapeShifter499> I know where the plugin file is, is there a way of linking that plugin file to firefox??
[02:02] <sebsebseb> Kalmi: What why?
[02:02] <cstryon> My wireless card seems to be installed and working, but i can't see any wirelss networks. Any ideas?
[02:02] <sebsebseb> cappicard: or you can do Adobe Flash in another browser
[02:03] <n8tuser> cstryon -> does  iwlist wlan0 scan  shows anything?
[02:03] <logos> kalmi, n8tuser look what i tried to do http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/dica/Compartilhamento-de-internet/
[02:03] <Kalmi> sebsebseb, Who needs flash? :)  http://xkcd.com/619/
[02:03] <sebsebseb> cappicard: and  maybe  both  Swfdec and Gnash are good enough for Youtube videos now
[02:03] <arand> VickiWong: hmm, yea, true, this won't work when system don't boot... *wrinkles forehead*
[02:03] <ShapeShifter499> ??
[02:03] <n8tuser> logos i do not speak portuguesa
[02:03] <cstryon> n8tuser, i don't know what that is
[02:04] <VickiWong> arand, :( thanks for the suggestion though, i wonder if there is a hihstory file somewhere from apt-get or something like that
[02:04] <logos> n8tuser look justth command lines
[02:04] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: what kind of programs did you install? surely it's not that hard to re install? even if you aren't sure  what you put on exactly
[02:04] <Kalmi> logos, I suggest that you use a GUI.... like Firestarter
[02:04] <logos> n8tuser =)
[02:04] <n8tuser> cstryon -> thats to scan what is available
[02:04] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: dpkg -l  looked promising
[02:04] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: however it seems to have maybe cut something off in the terminal, but  in the settings  there is a way to  get it show more output
[02:04] <logos> kalmi synaptic have it?
[02:04] <Kalmi> sure
[02:04] <n8tuser> logos command lines have to be understood in context with the sentences, so they dont mean much to me
[02:04] <cstryon> n8tuser -> ok, how do i run that?
[02:04] <Kalmi> !firewall | logos
[02:05] <n8tuser> cstryon -> sudo  iwlist wlan0 scan            shows anything?
[02:05] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, and i can run this outside the OS in question?
[02:05] <logos> Thks ubottu, i'll try the Guarddog, since im usig kde.
[02:05] <VickiWong> i think there is a /var/log/aptitude which might have a historry

[02:05] <logos> Be right back to post the results.
[02:05] <sebsebseb> VickiWong:  maybe that's not it, as in what I put
[02:05] <xikteny> VickiWong: I didn't catch the beginning of this conversation, but /var/log/dpkg should have history
[02:06] <sebsebseb> xikteny: she wants a list of all the packages she has installed
[02:06] <xikteny> VickiWong:  /var/log/dpkg.log that is
[02:06] <cstryon> n8tuser -> wlan0     Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable
[02:06] <johnzorn> if a package doesn't install correctly but it thinks its installed how do I get it to retry?
[02:07] <n8tuser> cstryon bring it up first before using that command
[02:07] <sebsebseb> johnzorn: you can try sudo apt-get remove package or  sudo apt-get purge package  which would also do config
[02:07] <sebsebseb> johnzorn: and broken packages can be fixed in synaptic I think
[02:07] <Kalmi> logos, guarddog can't do NAT... What you are looking for is guidedog :)

[02:11] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: why?
[02:11] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: how you getting along by the way?
[02:11] <cstryon> n8tuser -> I don't know what you mean for me to have up before I run that command
[02:12] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, dpkg.log seems quite empty, only going back 4 days, going to check aptitude log
[02:12] <sebsebseb> icarus: I think that's off topic really, altough there are such things as  email forwarders
[02:13] <sebsebseb> !ot |  icarus
[02:13] <icarus> sebsebseb, what would you suggest?
[02:13] <jalonso> hey guys, this book I'm reading is saying that an operating system cannot boot properly if the boot info is kept "above the hard drive's 1023rd cylinder". Anyone knows what that means?
[02:13] <sebsebseb> icarus: I am not really the person to ask, since I don't  tend to use email
[02:13] <n8tuser> cstryon bring the interface up before issuing the scan command
[02:13] <osi> chico busca chica
[02:14] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: Hm, I'll try that again
[02:14] <PlasmaSheep> thanks :)
[02:14] <cstryon> n8tuser, the terminal?
[02:14] <sebsebseb> icarus: also since  your issue isn't  really  to do with Ubuntu yep #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:14] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: looks like what you need... I've been multitasking
[02:14] <icarus> monster, so use thunderbird?
[02:15] <xikteny> VickiWong: there might be dpkg.log.# going back further. still, i don't know if it will go back all the way...

[02:15] <barcode_> mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '192.168.0.101' failed: timed out, retrying
[02:15] <danbhfive> jalonso: some older computers require the kernel to be placed toward the beginning of the HDD  (fyi drive space is broken up into cylinders)
[02:15] <barcode_> i've followed the NFS-howto to the T on the server (ubuntu)
[02:15] <jjrev> does anyone use Evolution to access 2007 Exchange Server?
[02:15] <barcode_> rpcinfo -p localhost reveals that all the daemons are running correctly
[02:15] <barcode_> i've opened those ports up in my hardware firewall
[02:15] <fccf> barcode_: this is not mepis support .... ubuntu is a different distro and we don't support mepis
[02:16] <VickiWong> xikteny, does that include things installed via apt-get?
[02:16] <jalonso> danbhfive: so that would not really apply to a machine that can support SLI right?

[02:16] <devinmcelheran> I was wondering if some can help me with a driver problem

[02:18] <paissad-hp> med_, vas sur #ubuntu-fr
[02:18] <cstryon> n8tuser, what interface do you mean for me to have open?
[02:18] <jalonso> danbhfive: the reason I ask is because I was trying to install ubuntu using two harddrives, one was a 20gb drive while the other was a 200GB sata drive. mounted the 20G drive as the root partition and the rest on the sata drive and when I was done it didnt boot
[02:19] <jalonso> danbhfive: was I being realistic in setting it up this way?
[02:19] <n8tuser> cstryon -> which interface are we scanning on?
[02:19] <paissad-hp> otherwise, do you have a script or command which permits to convert all .wma files , recursively into a directory to .mp3 files ?
[02:19] <n8tuser> cstryon -> btw, not open, but up
[02:20] <danbhfive> jalonso: I would think so.  you should post what errors you ran into
[02:20] <fccf> paissad-hp: audacity will do that if you have the plugins installed ... though it is a little slow
[02:20] <jalonso> danbhfive: error 15
[02:21] <cstryon> n8tuser, I had terminal opn, I have nothing else open or up, I don't think i understand what yo mean by what interface do i have up

[02:22] <xikteny> VickiWong: how about something like 'dpkg -l | grep '^i' > ~/installed_packages'
[02:23] <jjrev> LeChacal: ln -s /etc/init.d /etc/rc2.d/linname

[02:26] <oTo> hello i have install ubuntu but i have no idea how to install programs and extras going crazy here hehe - help
[02:26] <jalonso> danbhfive: honestly I should tell you that I ultimately gave up and just installed ubuntu entirely on the Sata drive
[02:26] <xikteny> VickiWong: No it would return information about the system you ran it on. You could maybe chroot into the old os...?
[02:27] <n8tuser> cstryon thanks, and come back again.. we can assist more
[02:27] <clearscreen> oTo: Applications -> Add/Remove
[02:27] <cfedde> oTo: last choice in the applications menu.
[02:27] <oTo> Whaaaatt!!!! Jeeeesss..
[02:27] <danbhfive> jalonso: well, that's probably for the best
[02:27] <jalonso> danbhfive: so at this point I need to redo the installation again before I can get back at you
[02:27] <oTo> grrr let me check :}
[02:27] <xikteny> VickiWong: oh if /var/lib/dpkg/status is missing that command probably wouldn't work even if you did chroot...
[02:27] <oTo> ty
[02:27] <VickiWong> xikteny, chroot'ing  won't work as bash is one of those items banished to lost+found :D
[02:27] <cfedde> oTo: also system->administration->synaptic package manager
[02:27] <VickiWong> seriously seriously fubar'd
[02:28] <rwparris2> clearscreen: I don't see that option. I'm on 9.04
[02:28] <danbhfive> jalonso: I suggest you wait till 9.10, when grub2 is the default.  Grub2 should detect your drives better
[02:28] <xikteny> VickiWong: ah :(
[02:28] <rwparris2> clearscreen:  I see networking tools but no 'general' and nowhere to change the name.
[02:28] <VickiWong> xikteny, so pretty much reduced to reading files/logs
[02:28] <jalonso> danbhfive: oh ok, but for the time being, should I just reconnect that second drive and look at the device.map file?
[02:29] <clearscreen> rwparris2: I don't know from the top of my head (running debian).. you can edit it manually though... gksu gedit /etc/hostname
[02:29] <jalonso> danbhfive: either way thanks for the information, much appreciated :)
[02:29] <danbhfive> jalonso: if you want to hassle yourself, sure.  But grub2 will replace  grub, so it may not be worth it.
[02:30] <jalonso> danbhfive: gotcha, I read up on GRUB 2 instead, didnt even know they were doing it
[02:30] <jalonso> danbhfive: thanks again
[02:30] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: you're talking about changing what appears in your shell prompt?
[02:30] <danbhfive> np, take care
[02:30] <rwparris2> prince_jammys: yeah, I want it gone though not just changed
[02:30] <rwparris2> all I want to see is $
[02:31] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: PS1='\$'
[02:31] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: or more likely PS1='\$ '
[02:31] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: put that at the bottom of ~/.bashrc
[02:32] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: dpkg --get-selections  according to webpigeon
[02:32] <ghb-120> hello, im trying to get openssh working on jaunty. i have installed it and can connect from the computer running the server through both "localhost" and "192.168.2.5" but when i come downstairs to my windows xp computer and try to use putty to connect to "192.168.2.5"
[02:32] <yxz97> does anyone knows about install brainfuck on ubuntu ?
[02:32] <ghb-120>  it doesnt work
[02:32] <yxz97> thanks
[02:32] <IdleOne> !clone
[02:32] <rwparris2> prince_jammys: that works perfect thanks
[02:32] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: welcome.
[02:33] <Pici> yxz97: The package name is bf
[02:33] <VickiWong> xikteny, arand, I do have /var/log/dpkg.log going back to 20/04/09 perhaps this oculd be useful
[02:33] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: the command I gave  should do what you want
[02:34] <MadSeaDog> anyway to batch change one line in 20 text file in a single command?
[02:34] <ghb-120> haha alot of exiting and entering
[02:34] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, isnt that to get info for the bootable OS?
[02:35] <VickiWong> or can i specifiy the unbootable OS
[02:35] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: by line number, by text pattern ... how?
[02:35] <pmdragon1> does anyone know anything about "ychat"...
[02:37] <habanot2> how do i get ubuntu to actually utulize my a415-hpg hauppauge remote if i run irw i see that its working
[02:37] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  let go with boths... for futurs uses... but text pattern will do the job...
[02:37] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: I don't know
[02:37] <deus_> what is the purpose of source.list.distUpgrade?
[02:37] <arand> VickiWong: yea, that command will not do unless you've booted or chrooted the system.
[02:37] <deus_> Its addresses inside it is from intrepid
[02:38] <yxz97> Pici, thanks
[02:38] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: well, it's best of you tell me specifics, since the approach changes depending on the requirements. What text pattern?
[02:38] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, yeah I tried the command but it just gave the local installed package list, but good idea :)
[02:39] <VickiWong> computers are such a pita...
[02:39] <UF-Gast592> Spricht jemand Deutsch, oder ist das hier unerwünscht?
[02:39] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  a path ... something like /home/blahblah/moreblahblah/ to /somethingelse/blahblah/moreblahblah ...
[02:39] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: yep they can be annoying
[02:40] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: sed -i 's:/home/blahblah/moreblah/:/somethingelse/blah:g'  fileone filetwo filethree ....
[02:40] <deus_> but the main sourcelist is set on jaunty
[02:40] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: do the twenty filenames have something in common that distinguishes them from the other files in the dir ?
[02:40] <deus_> do i really need it?
[02:41] <deus_> i think its making a mess of the package system
[02:41] <Pici> !de | UF-Gast592
[02:41] <arand> VickiWong: I'm asking in #debian currently, and they suggested: you can get a reasonable setup by just running dpkg  --rootdir /path/to/blah --get-selections
[02:41] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: make backups before you test this. it'll overwrite the files.
[02:41] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  yeah gonna change the end with *.something ...
[02:41] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  i dont need the old files after...
[02:41] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: then sed -i sameasabove  *.something
[02:42] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  ok thanks gonna try it now...
[02:42] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: yes, but still. make backups to make sure the substitution is done how you want.
[02:43] <arand> VickiWong: that would be provided you could locate the /var/lib/status file... otherwise, I think you should be able to extract the relevant data from the file you found, but that will be rather tricky though...
[02:43] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: that will not change entire lines. it'll just substitute one string for the other, everywhere.
[02:43] <VickiWong> arand, thanks, ill have a snoop around lost+found for the status file
[02:43] <VickiWong> arand, and path/to/blah would be the path  to the status file right? ;)
[02:43] <UF-Gast592> Sorry Pici and thank you ubottu (if you are an user) ^^
[02:44] <sebsebseb> !thanks |  UF-Gast592
[02:44] <smartzly> hello
[02:44] <UF-Gast592> Uh it is a bot and some user are kidding me? :-D
[02:45] <sebsebseb> UF-Gast592: heh
[02:45] <sebsebseb> !bot |  UF-Gast592
[02:45] <VickiWong> im pretty sure this is a stupid question, so flame away, but is there a way to force the files in lost+found back to their locations? a lot of these files seem fiine condition
[02:45] <Ububegin> what is the linux command.. to find the space of a directory
[02:45] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: that's not a stupid question :)
[02:45] <VickiWong> and by returning the bash and init files im half way to booting lol
[02:45] <clearscreen> Ububegin: man du
[02:46] <clearscreen> !du | Ububegin
[02:46] <clearscreen> fff :(
[02:46] <smartzly> clear
[02:47] <tomas1> hey guys i am back with a fresh install so lets start
[02:48] <UF-Gast592> What will we start? :D
[02:48] <tomas1> i want to install flash and java
[02:48] <prince_jammys> !java
[02:48] <sebsebseb> tomas1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:48] <UF-Gast592> On ubuntu?
[02:48] <clearscreen> tomas1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras :P
[02:48] <thiebaude> !flash | tomas1
[02:49] <clearscreen> sebsebseb: why so fast :(
[02:49] <tomas1> im going to give it a go now i just needed to be reminded the code pleas hold
[02:49] <arand> VickiWong: It could very well be done, I don't know how though, google might..
[02:49] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: what?
[02:49] <clearscreen> sebsebseb: you're too fast
[02:49] <liubin> q
[02:49] <tomas1> must say my VGA card is working better this time as now i get those cool screen effects
[02:50] <thiebaude> tomas1, for java i did sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[02:50] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  worked great!
[02:50] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: good :)
[02:50] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: also isn't that really the point of this channal, to hopefuly get fast help?
[02:50] <tomas1> i am doing one thing at a time thanks thiebaude
[02:50] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: good.
[02:50] <tomas1> as i tryed that the last time and it did not work
[02:50] <thiebaude> tomas1, no problem
[02:50] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: or to be giving that help
[02:50] <tomas1> one other question i have is there a way to upgrade firefox
[02:51] <sebsebseb> !ff35 |  tomas1
[02:51] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: if you'd like to understand how to use sed, /join #sed and read the guide in the channel topic.
[02:51] <clearscreen> sebsebseb: Good for the channel, bad for my self-esteem! :D
[02:51] <tomas1> ok cool thankaa
[02:52] <VickiWong> arand, ok found the status file, but running that commands says dpkg: unknown option --rootdir
[02:53] <tomas1> i think i will just wait for the next ubuntu realese
[02:53] <tomas1> release
[02:54] <StupidWeasel> Humm, have there been any big breakthroughts with the open ATI drivers since Jaunty was released?
[02:54] <Nitrodist> tomas1, only another month
[02:54] <tomas1> yea i know
[02:54] <StupidWeasel> Can I look forward to slightly better performance on this cruddy old laptop =P ?
[02:54] <tomas1> i prefer ubuntu over windows its just i dont know how to use it
[02:54] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: ok
[02:55] <tomas1> but with practise it will come
[02:55] <StupidWeasel> Slowly slowly catchy monkey :)
[02:55] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  ok  thanks for the hint...
[02:55] <StupidWeasel> I'm lucky in that I got used to headless linux before moving over to a linux desktop.
[02:56] <StupidWeasel> Seems a lot of people are doing it the other way around now.
[02:56] <tomas1> i like desktops
[02:56] <StupidWeasel> Which is still great though, Ubuntu is friendly enough for you not to need the terminal :)
[02:57] <tomas1> yea but it is always good to learn
[02:57] <arand> VickiWong: the command would be --admindir and you'll need to find two files: status AND available ( both from /var/lib/dpkg/ ) then add them to a directory, and also create a updates/ folder in that diectory then run "dpkg --get-selections --admindir=/path/to/the/directory > package_slections_backup.txt"
[02:57] <StupidWeasel> Oh yup, does not hurt.
[02:57] <tomas1> ok now that finished installing lets see if it works
[02:58] <deus_> Whats ppa2 packages?
[02:59] <xor> Hi there.
[02:59] <prince_jammys> !ppa | deus_
[02:59] <thiebaude> !welcome | xor
[03:00] <Irishmanluke> offtopic
[03:00] <prince_jammys> deus_: now if you literally meant 'ppa2' with a 2, i don't know.
[03:00] <xor> What is the point of the partner software source? Is it worth activating?
[03:00] <sebsebseb> !partner |  xor
[03:00] <Irishmanluke> oh yeah
[03:01] <VickiWong> arand, That worked! came out with 1603 items, package name + status
[03:01] <tomas1> it looks like it all works
[03:01] <gonzo_> hEY pEOPLE
[03:01] <rwparris2> I'm on 9.04.  Everytime I go to system>admin>software sources I can see it flash in the task bar but it never starts
[03:01] <sebsebseb> xor: not sure if that's it
[03:01] <tomas1> i love you guys :)
[03:01] <rwparris2> any ideas?
[03:01] <xor> I'll take a look none the less.
[03:01] <Irishmanluke> xor: is that like the bitwise operation?
[03:02] <arand> VickiWong: With that you should then be able to jump to the "to restore" step in this guide http://www.2030.tk/wiki/Backup_Installed_Software_List_on_Ubuntu once you've done the reinstallation.
[03:02] <cstryon> "sudo ifup wlan0"   says: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. the logical name for my wireless device is wlan0. "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" iget: wlan0     Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable.  I can't find any wireless networks any ideas?
[03:02] <xor> Irishmanluke: I like to think so.
[03:02] <tomas1> thanks sebsebseb and every one else
[03:02] <sebsebseb> tomas1: no probs :)
[03:03] <tomas1> i will come back here when i need more help
[03:03] <VickiWong> arand, thanks, bookmarked, think i will get some sleep before reinstalling :)
[03:03] <thiebaude> tomas1, enjoy your ubuntu
[03:03] <tomas1> now its time to setup my lampp server lol
[03:03] <VickiWong> arand, xikteny, sebsebseb thanks for your help guys, hopefully tomorrow I will get my system back up and running
[03:03] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: ok no probs :)
[03:04] <arand> VickiWong: Let's keep fingers and toes crossed it will work. Glad to be of service :)
[03:04] <n8tuser> cstryon -> paste your /etc/networking/interfaces file   we may have to add a line for wlan0
[03:04] <xikteny> VickiWong: np, hope you get it working
[03:04] <ctmjr> cstryon: try ifconfig wlan0 down / ifconfig wlan0 up then iwslist wlan0 scan
[03:04] <n8tuser> cstryon -> paste it in pastebin
[03:04] <gonzo_> do somebody know  Ubuntu Well ?
[03:04] <gonzo_> do somebody know  Ubuntu Well ?

[03:04] <FloodBot2> gonzo_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:04] <prince_jammys> yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[03:05] <Irishmanluke> cstryon: are you sure that wlan0 is the interface you want to use?
[03:05] <ctmjr> *iwlist

[03:06] <VickiWong> only a small thing, but anyone know where temrinal logs are kept? as in command history
[03:06] <rwparris2_> when I open software sources via system>admin>software sources nothing happens. I see it flash in the taskbar but it never starts. any ideas?
[03:06] <IdleOne> !cn | zoulz
[03:06] <StupidWeasel> .bash_history
[03:07] <StupidWeasel> It's in your userdir ;3
[03:07] <VickiWong> StupidWeasel, a-thankyou

[03:07] <StupidWeasel> Welcome :)
[03:07] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: run 'gksudo software-properties-gtk' from a terminal and see if there's any informative error messages.
[03:07] <gonzo_> help :)
[03:07] <zoulz> I see , thx

[03:09] <GuidMorrow> hey, is this Facebook page for real: http://www.facebook.com/ubuntulinux
[03:10] <IdleOne> GuidMorrow: I believe it is
[03:10] <thiebaude> GuidMorrow, it seems to be
[03:10] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: curious. i'd expect something along those lines if you weren't in an X session.
[03:10] <zopiac> for some reason all of my music says this (in totem) when i try to play them: Could not get/set settings from/on resource
[03:11] <zopiac> can anyone help me? its only been doing this since i last logged in, like 5 minutes ago
[03:11] <rwparris2_> prince_jammys: maybe reboot?
[03:11] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: no, not yet.
[03:12] <GuidMorrow> !kino
[03:12] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: now that you have an error message it's worth checking out google or the ubuntu forums for a known problem.
[03:12] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: rather than reboot, you could restart the X session and see.
[03:12] <GuidMorrow> !movie
[03:13] <cstryon> Ok I'm about to pastebin my interfaces file, but the file only has to lines of text in it :S
[03:13] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: that would be done by:  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart    (first save any work)
[03:14] <cstryon> http://paste.ubuntu.com/266415/
[03:14] <cstryon> did i do that right?
[03:15] <ctmjr> cstryon: yes
[03:15] <GuidMorrow> I can't find any good video editors for Ubuntu; Kino doesn't work because i don't have firewire on here, all I have is a capture card
[03:15] <n8tuser> cstryon -> add these lines on that file, iface wlan0 inet dhcp, auto wlan0
[03:16]  * RHorse looks around sheepishly...
[03:17] <zopiac> im confused T_T
[03:17] <CoJaBo-Aztec> ?
[03:17] <d1gital> when i try to play a dvd using vlc, i get through the menu and through the FBI warnings and such, but when it comes time for the movie to play; the video window disappears and the audio becomes extremely choppy.  i have libdvdcss installed. what should i do?
[03:17] <GuidMorrow> I used to make more than enough movies when I used windows, but when I installed ubuntu
[03:18] <RHorse> tnx
[03:18] <GuidMorrow> *crickets chirping*
[03:18] <uman> Hello, does anyone know of an itunes replacement that can use an itunes library out of the box?
[03:18] <cstryon> wait i don't think i need to add any lines to my interfaces file.
[03:18] <cstryon> chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
[03:18] <cstryon> chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[03:18] <cstryon> chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[03:18] <cstryon> the can found my network.
[03:18] <FloodBot2> cstryon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:18] <uman> I'm not interested in having it convert or import the itunes library into its own format; I need to share the library between Ubuntu and Windows
[03:18] <zopiac> neither totem nor rhythmbox plays my audio files, but the Preview function in Nautilus works fine...
[03:19] <zlyubuntu> heh
[03:19] <cstryon> n8tuser, ctmjr, and the rest, thank you all
[03:19] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: what kind of video editing? cutting and pasting clips and such?
[03:19] <dtam> guildmorrow... i use avidemux for simple cutting and filtering
[03:20] <n8tuser> cstryon -> you're welcome
[03:20] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: check out if avidemux suits you.
[03:20] <ctmjr> cstryon: do you want to connect to a network?
[03:20] <GuidMorrow> I kinda expected something with the same caliber as windows movie maker, but with more options
[03:20] <Jyard> anyone know how to disable the system beep whenever i backspace to far or do anything really? it is quite irritating.
[03:20] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: avidemux has many options for "advanced" editing, but isn't good for cutting and pasting many clips.
[03:21] <cstryon> ctmjr, yes a wireless network, and it was successful
[03:21] <dtam> windows movie maker is very amateurish.. but it is effective.. I loved vegas on windows
[03:21] <GuidMorrow> what about video capturing
[03:21] <thiebaude> Jyard, i had to disable that in my BIOS
[03:21] <ctmjr> cstryon: ok cool have fun
[03:21] <Jyard> thiebaude: crap. thanks :)
[03:21] <thiebaude> Jyard, np
[03:21] <johnf> anyone seeing corruption. Like gnome terminals are invisible after suspend on karmic with KMS?
[03:21] <dtam> video editors is one area where windows kicks linux ass
[03:22] <zopiac> wat
[03:22] <prince_jammys> true. there's something called cinelerra also. check it out.
[03:22] <thiebaude> !cinelerra
[03:22] <GuidMorrow> prince_jammys: is that supported under ubuntu
[03:22] <zlyubuntu> MSG
[03:23] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: no, but installable.
[03:23] <arand> johnf: I think that would fit in #ubuntu+1
[03:23] <dtam> i have never tried cinelerra... maybe is should
[03:23] <johnf> ahh yes thanks
[03:23] <thiebaude> dtam, i've heard of it before, but nevere used it
[03:23] <thiebaude> never
[03:24] <Dragonlyre> hmm, for some reason I can't switch channels

[03:24] <d1gital> when i try to play a dvd using vlc, i get through the menu and through the FBI warnings and such, but when it comes time for the movie to play; the video window disappears and the audio becomes extremely choppy.  i have libdvdcss installed. what should i do?
[03:25] <prince_jammys> d1gital: you mean libdvdcss2, correct?
[03:25] <prince_jammys> i don't think libdvdcss is enough, but i'm pretty ignorant in that matter.
[03:25] <thiebaude> !dvd | d1gital
[03:26] <d1gital> prince_jammys: yes.
[03:26] <ctmjr> d1gital: try using mplayer and see if it plays the dvd ok,
[03:26] <prince_jammys> d1gital: does vlc play other videos properly for you?
[03:29] <pacopil> online boxing game http://www.kobox.org/kobox-fande-Nourine.html
[03:30] <d1gital> ctmjr: in mplayer, i get some weird blocky multicolor nonsense and really sped-up audio.. ?
[03:30] <GuidMorrow> prince_jammys: what utility can I find that records video from my capture card?
[03:30] <d1gital> prince_jammys: other videos play just fine
[03:30] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: i don't know. vlc comes to mind, but i don't really know.
[03:31] <prince_jammys> vlc is checking out regardless, if you're into video.
[03:31] <prince_jammys> *is worth checking out
[03:32] <prince_jammys> d1gital: and this happens with every dvd, right?
[03:33] <ctmjr> d1gital: have you installed the restricted extra package https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/
[03:33] <d1gital> prince_jammys:  i'll try another one.
[03:33] <d1gital> ctmjr: yes.
[03:33] <almostAg33k> i just installed ubuntu where can i get java, divx and all the other goodies i need?

[03:33] <sebsebseb> almostAg33k: sudo apt-get install  ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:34] <draugefilekim> using rm on a symlink will delete the link but not the destination, right?
[03:34] <spoon> After insalling Hidpoint, finding out it won't do what I need, and uninstalling it, something is suddenly eating most of my proccessing power, a look at the system monitor shows I am running at a constant 95% or higher, and half of my RAM has vanished. running the top command shows a dd proccess taking up 40% of my prossing power, which wass obviously not the case before as ubuntu ran on about 20% according to the systm monitor CU 
[03:34] <prince_jammys> draugefilekim: correct, thankfully.
[03:34] <almostAg33k> is that all of them/
[03:34] <clearscreen> draugefilekim: correct
[03:34] <almostAg33k> ?*
[03:34] <sebsebseb> almostAg33k: most of it yeah
[03:35] <sebsebseb> almostAg33k: Flash, Java, etc
[03:35] <coffeej> Anyone have success/information on the m560x webcam driver?  Found the sourceforge page but am to newb to make much sense of it.
[03:35] <d1gital> prince_jammys:  other dvd works fine. ???
[03:35] <draugefilekim> \o/
[03:35] <prince_jammys> d1gital: good. we're onto something ;)

[03:37] <belorix> legend2440: do you know how i can make my desktop icons tile horizontally instead of vertically
[03:38] <legend2440> belorix: no sorry i don't
[03:38] <d1gital> both of the dvds say "this disc is copy-protected", and i know the disc isn't bad. what could cause the difference?
[03:38] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: I might have to record video off of these VHS tapes before something messes up with this VCR player
[03:38] <ctmjr> GuidMorrow: digital or analog tv?
[03:38] <autumn> hi everyone :) i have some itunes files in .m4a format that i need to convert to .mp3 for my portable music player. The files are not DRMed. Google is giving me a lot of results from 2006, etc. Can someone please point me to a resource with something current? :)
[03:39] <spoon> After insalling Hidpoint, finding out it won't do what I need, and uninstalling it, something is suddenly eating most of my proccessing power, a look at the system monitor shows I am running at a constant 95% or higher, and half of my RAM has vanished. running the top command shows a dd proccess taking up 40% of my prossing power, which wass obviously not the case before as ubuntu ran on about 20% according to the systm monitor CPU
[03:39] <prince_jammys> autumn: are they recommending using mencoder or ffmpeg?
[03:39] <autumn> ffmpeg
[03:39] <clearscreen> spoon: try to manually kill the dd process (killall dd).. dont worry about ram usage displayed in top, linux works by the principle that unused ram is wasted ram, so a lot of stuff is cached
[03:39] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: ??
[03:39] <prince_jammys> autumn: well, that'll work. it's not like either of those file formats is recent.
[03:40] <autumn> ok :) thanks, just wanted to make sure nothing had changed significantly in the last 3 years lol
[03:40] <kahen> autumn: have you looked at faad?
[03:40] <spoon> no the RAM has vanished from the total on the system monitor
[03:40] <autumn> kahen: I haven't... I'm fairly new to linux multimedia stuff.
[03:40] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: what did you mean digital or analog? there is currently no source connected into the VCR-DVD combo player itself
[03:41] <GuidMorrow> the recording is in an analog format though
[03:41] <kahen> autumn: faad = commandline AAC decoder. that + lame will do the job
[03:41] <belorix> legend2440: how about making my icons go to the right of teh screen instead of the left?
[03:41] <ctmjr> GuidMorrow: iased you if you where trying to record tv and you said yes that is not what you are trying to do
[03:42] <ctmjr> *i asked
[03:42] <spoon> as in, I have 1Gig of RAM installed, but minutes ago, ubuntu decided I actually only had 512 (displayed as 495)
[03:42] <GuidMorrow> !tv
[03:42] <kahen> autumn: or... should do the job. dunno if .m4a is some bastardized proprietary thing that apple has concocted. wouldn't surprise me though...
[03:42] <autumn> kahen: itunes advertises it as DRM-free AAC
[03:43] <kahen> autumn: yes, but the container format might not be a standard mpeg-4 one. you know... it's apple...
[03:43] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: I'm trying to capture video, not television
[03:43] <autumn> hmm... I hope not :) I'll try ffmpeg, it looks like it'll be an easier process and I found a batch script for it too
[03:44] <GuidMorrow> stopmotion and kino both fail
[03:44] <almostAg33k> how can i make my windows jiggle and stretch?
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> enable desktop effects.
[03:44] <prince_jammys> enable compiz and "wobbly windows"
[03:44] <GuidMorrow> almostAg33k: You need a good video card driver for that
[03:45] <prince_jammys> alternatively, shake the monitor.
[03:45] <thiebaude> !ccsm | almostAg33k
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:45] <thiebaude> rotfl
[03:45] <GuidMorrow> !intel
[03:45] <prince_jammys> you can also achieve a similar effect with the aid of tequila.
[03:46] <almostAg33k> i had installed ubuntu and it was werking, add wrong vid drivers and it would start up so i re-installed now i have a "normal" window
[03:46] <GuidMorrow> almostAg33k: what is your video card?
[03:46] <spoon> clearscreen: thanks, sudo killall dd as well as sudo killall klogd has brought my cu usage down to reasonable levels
[03:46] <thiebaude> GuidMorrow, i was about to ask that,lol
[03:46] <belorix> !icons
[03:46] <almostAg33k> ati radeon
[03:46] <GuidMorrow> !ati
[03:46] <thiebaude> man
[03:47] <spoon> anyone have any idea why ubuntu is suddenly only detecting half of my RAM?
[03:47] <IndyGunFreak> spoon, do you have 6gigs, and its only detecting 3.x something?
[03:47] <GuidMorrow> spoon: check BIOS?
[03:47] <almostAg33k> appearence preferences.viuals,extra
[03:47] <ctmjr> GuidMorrow: have a look here see if it helps http://forum.videohelp.com/topic307679.html
[03:47] <GuidMorrow> does the machine have PAE turned on (32-bit machine)
[03:48] <spoon> haven't booted to the bios yet, wanted to check if it could be tied to my fantom CPU usage
[03:48] <belorix> Does anybody know how i can make my icons go to the right of the screen instead of the left
[03:49] <spoon> doing so now, hopefully it's nothing, if not, you'll see me back here soon
[03:49] <thiebaude> spoon, did you check your system processes and see if anything is using alot of ram?
[03:49] <webbb8> what do you guys think about this, i just installed "back in time" for backing up my filles and i chose to have it save the data in my ubuntu one file so it will backup my data to the cloud
[03:50] <spoon> I have 1gig installed, I know this for a fact, ubuntu is suddenly only showing 512 though (displayed as 497)
[03:50] <spoon> I DID have some proccessor usage issues that began at the same time though
[03:51] <thiebaude> spoon, if i had your problem i would be checking All processes
[03:51] <spoon> hunting down and killing the culprits with top and killall has cut down my CPU usage to more reasonable levels
[03:52] <xtiger> hi
[03:52] <dtam> yo guys... dumb question but i have to ask it..  i did a lspci to see if my laptop has a sata hd...
[03:52] <dtam> 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 03)
[03:52] <thiebaude> spoon, i know when i use 512mb on ubuntu , it only sees 495
[03:52] <dtam> this would indicate yes right
[03:52] <lstarnes> dtam: that indicates that you have an SATA controller
[03:52] <dtam> i would think that it would say sata interface
[03:53] <lstarnes> dtam: it doesn't necessarily mean that you actually have an SATA hd
[03:53] <dtam> thats what im afraid of
[03:53] <spoon> right, that's to be ecpected, but it was showing the 1gig that I have installed untill verey recently and has mysteriously decided it was wrong
[03:53] <lstarnes> dtam: there is a more advanced utility called lshw
[03:54] <clearscreen> lstarnes: although very likely for a laptop.. why else put a sata controller in there :P
[03:54] <thiebaude> spoon, i would check bios and seeif bios has 1 gig and then save it if it isn't in bios
[03:55] <dtam> thanks lstarnes
[03:55] <spoon> alright, that was my next step anyway, just concerned because of the issue that came with it, thought it rudent to ask here while I was here
[03:55] <lstarnes> dtam: if you do have an SATA controller, you most likely do have an SATA hard disk
[03:55] <dtam> still doesnt say sata specifically.. but i can google the product id
[03:55] <spoon> rebooting to BIOS, see you guys soon
[03:55] <thiebaude> spoon, lets us know if you fix it
[03:55] <dtam> it says description: ATA Disk
[03:57] <dtam> what the hell is a ata-6 interface

[04:00] <josephnexus> does thunderbird read msg files?
[04:00] <gwhipple> i have a dell inpsiron 1545 laptop running vista 64bit should i install ubuntu 64bit
[04:00] <gwhipple> or does it matter
[04:00] <vede> *sigh*
[04:01] <thiebaude> gwhipple, how much ram do you have?
[04:01] <josephnexus> gwhipple, go ahead
[04:01] <josephnexus> ubuntu 64bit is quite stable and usable
[04:01] <DMJC> are there any C developers in here?

[04:02] <kfan> is there any way to get itunes software to work in 9.04?
[04:02] <thiebaude> since you said 3 gigs
[04:03] <clearscreen> kfan: the only way Ive gotten it to properly work is through virtualbox on a windows xp install
[04:03] <dbbolton> how can i edit the number of tty shells that are opened at boot?
[04:03] <thiebaude> !wine | kfan
[04:04] <ctmjr> DMJC: there is a #c channel might be more interest there

[04:05] <tomas1> hey guys this might be a tricky question but is there a way i can create an icon that opens using this command "sudo nautilus"
[04:05] <clearscreen> thiebaude: you may be able to run itunes through wine, but making it sync your device over USB will be a problem.. only viable alternative right now is using a virtual machine, although iphone dev team are pretty close to allow syncing of 3.0 devices

[04:06] <thiebaude> darn
[04:06] <dtam> tomas yes you can
[04:06] <tomas1> its just so i dont need to go to terminal to do it
[04:07] <thiebaude> clearscreen, thanks for that info
[04:07] <tomas1> how
[04:07] <kahen> tomas1: system > preferences > main menu?
[04:07] <tomas1> is the next question
[04:07] <dtam> tomas do a google for linux expect and interact
[04:07] <thiebaude> tomas1, can you creat a launcher for it?
[04:07] <tomas1> ok
[04:07] <thiebaude> create
[04:07] <thiebaude> tomas1, right click on your desktop
[04:08] <dtam> so you would create a shell script to sudo natilus and then the script would send the pass too
[04:08] <kahen> or yes. just right click panel and select "add to panel" and choose custom launcher
[04:08] <tomas1> ok and then add launcher
[04:08] <hermitcrabred> Hi everyone!
[04:09] <shadows090> hey guys, is anyone familiar with xampp and mysql?
[04:09] <dtam> hmmn i guess i took that question to be that he wanted to just click a launcher and not have to enter in the sudo password
[04:09] <thiebaude> hermitcrabred, hi
[04:09] <tomas1> i know how to install it dtam
[04:09] <hermitcrabred> thiebaude,  Hi!
[04:09] <Loganhoup> When I log in instead of getting a pleasant ubuntu log in sound I get a long extremely loud hissing staticy noise could someone please help me? Thanks
[04:09] <tomas1> thanks for the help guys
[04:09] <thiebaude> tomas1, then you wouldn't need sudo
[04:09] <almostAg33k> what does this mean? "If you have added the entire Medibuntu repository, install the package using APT."
[04:10] <tomas1> ?
[04:10] <kfan> which is more stable and seems to have less problems with hardware config ubuntu 9.04 or 8.04
[04:10] <thiebaude> !pcmanfm
[04:10] <legend2440> tomas1: theres an easier way  install   nautilus-gksu   then you can right click any folder and choose Open as Administrator
[04:10] <vede> VLC does not work, and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset.
[04:10] <shadows090> would anybody be able to help me access the main mysql page with lampp? I'm not sure where to find it
[04:10] <hermitcrabred> I just installed ekigasoftphone but I can`t find it anywhere?...any tips???
[04:11] <thiebaude> hermitcrabred, how did you install it?
[04:11] <tomas1> is that by doing the following "sudo apt-get  installnautilus-gksu"
[04:11] <shadows090> try going up to applications> internet?
[04:11] <Loganhoup> When I log in instead of getting a pleasant ubuntu log in sound I get a long extremely loud hissing staticy noise could someone please help me? Thanks
[04:11] <IdleOne> hermitcrabred: it should be installed default and it is in Applications > Internet
[04:11] <kahen> Loganhoup: and sound works fine otherwise?
[04:11] <legend2440> tomas1: it will also open files as administrator
[04:11] <tomas1> sweet thanks legend2440
[04:11] <hermitcrabred> with add/remove...sorry, new to Linux
[04:12] <thiebaude> hermitcrabred, see if its in synaptic
[04:12] <Loganhoup> kahen: no, If I use it for a short amount of time it hangs.
[04:12] <legend2440> tomas1: may need to reboot after installing
[04:12] <hermitcrabred> IdleOne,  I don`t see Internet on the apps...weird
[04:12] <IdleOne> thiebaude: he installed it already
[04:12] <IdleOne> hermitcrabred: what version of Ubuntu?
[04:12] <hermitcrabred> synaptic...? meaning?
[04:12] <hermitcrabred> Xubuntu
[04:13] <IdleOne> hermitcrabred: ahh well it is in the menu somewhere. try asking in #xubuntu
[04:13] <vede> VLC does not work (sometimes stops responding altogether, if it doesn't do that it closes (no error) when I press the "next" button), and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset (but PulseAudio does).
[04:13] <dsnyders> HI all!  I'm looking for an app to design music with.  ie, enter notes and have the computer play it.
[04:13] <n00b823> hydrogen can do drums if you want that.
[04:14] <hermitcrabred> ...OK
[04:14] <n00b823> or TuxGuitar can do it for guitar, and probably piano suff too.
[04:14] <n00b823> stuff*
[04:15] <dsnyders> n00b823, I want to do more than just drums, but I'll take a look at it.
[04:15] <kahen> dsnyders: http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ ?
[04:15] <DMJC> rosegarden is awesome
[04:15] <n00b823> oh that looks good.
[04:15] <vede> Any ideas?
[04:16] <alus> why does everyone use ubuntu desktop on Amazon EC2?
[04:16] <dsnyders> kahen, rosegarden looks good.  Thanks.
[04:17] <vede> ... No?

[04:21] <dsnyders> dbbolton, do you mean the [ctrl][alt][f1-f6] tty shells?
[04:21] <Clorox> You won't need a driver cd or anything for a scanner
[04:22] <dbbolton> dsnyders yeah. there's no /etc/inittab
[04:22] <n00b823> josvuk: i don't think there are any qwt ubuntu packages. those listed are just docs.

[04:23] <computer_> who has questions? im here to serve :)
[04:23] <fefer> serve is which way..
[04:23] <dbbolton> dsnyders /etc/event.d is a directory
[04:23] <dsnyders> dbbolton, there is a program called upstart
[04:23] <komies> I have a question about malware... I seem to have acquired this http://www.geekpolice.net/malware-removal-guides-f12/how-to-remove-personal-antivirus-delete-guide-t7526.htm somehow, but am not sure how to go about removing/disabling it on ubuntu.
[04:24] <computer_> ubuntu help
[04:24] <fefer> ok i have a question for you
[04:24] <n00b823> komies: thats on windows.
[04:24] <fefer> i think i have aquired a virus
[04:24] <fefer> what do i do
[04:24] <n00b823> why do you think that fefer?
[04:24] <computer_> with ubuntu?
[04:24] <Clorox> a virus on Ubuntu?
[04:24] <fefer> yes
[04:24] <Guest12250> ok idleone i ll try
[04:24] <Clorox> explain
[04:24] <josvuk> legend2440: What's synaptic? The gnuradio package which i found is only gnuradio3.1 but I need 3.2.2 which has the grc
[04:24] <fefer> its called rm -fr /
[04:24] <dbbolton> dsnyders no manual entry for upstart
[04:24] <computer_> ferfer, explain
[04:24] <computer_> ok
[04:24] <komies> It's displaying the same symptoms it would on a windows machine
[04:24] <josvuk> so I must compile it self
[04:25] <IdleOne> fefer: please don't do that
[04:25] <komies> the same popups in firefox showing a fake windows security control panel
[04:25] <Clorox> rm -fr / is a bad command
[04:25] <fefer> is not!
[04:25] <Clorox> don't use it
[04:25] <computer_> lol
[04:25] <fefer> it gives u cookies
[04:25] <komies> and I see the removal instructions for windows, but don't know how to deal with this in ubuntu.
[04:25] <n00b823> komies: are you sure you're in linux and everything?
[04:25] <legend2440> josvuk: http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/BuildGuide
[04:25] <n00b823> that is really weird.
[04:25] <Darkebrz> Hi, I need some help. VLC does not work, and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset.
[04:25] <IdleOne> !troll | fefer
[04:25] <komies> Yes. Absolutely.
[04:25] <Clorox> THIS IS A CHANNEL FOR HELP, NOT BEING A JERK
[04:26] <computer_> rm -fr / not a virus
[04:26] <Darkebrz> Can anyone help?
[04:26] <fefer> whos being a jerk
[04:26] <n00b823> wow. weird. :/
[04:26] <vede> ...
[04:26] <fefer> !troll IdleOne
[04:26] <vede> HEY GUYS I NEED HELP
[04:26] <komies> If there's somewhere I can double check for you... I totally will. But this sure looks like linux to me. And my windows partition is borked, so if I was under windows I wouldn't be on xchat.
[04:26] <Clorox> yes, vede?
[04:26] <vede> VLC does not work (sometimes stops responding altogether, if it doesn't do that it closes (no error) when I press the "next" button), and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset (but PulseAudio does).
[04:26] <vede> I've only posted that here four times now.
[04:26] <Clorox> sorry....
[04:27] <prince_j1mmys> komies: that "malware remover" is highly suspect, anyway.
[04:27] <Clorox> people are just ignoring you because they have no idea what's wrong
[04:27] <computer_> vede, your whole system is up to date?
[04:27] <vede> As far as I know.
[04:27] <komies> Yeah... I figured I'd ask here.
[04:27] <vede> Just installed it yesterday.
[04:27] <vede> Got everything updated.
[04:27] <fefer> vede, error logs say anything?
[04:27] <komies> I dealt with malware on the time when I ran windows, but I've been ubuntu-only for over a year and never had a malware issue
[04:27] <vede> ... I dunno.
[04:27] <prince_j1mmys> komies: it reeks of phoniness, ie. being malware itself.
[04:27] <Clorox> vede: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu
[04:27] <Clorox> or something else?
[04:28] <cdoublejj> can ubuntu remote desktop with only ubuntu ?
[04:28] <vede> Ubuntu, but I'm on xfce, not GNOME.
[04:28] <Clorox> ah
[04:28] <Clorox> GTK based.
[04:28] <computer_> use gnome
[04:28] <Clorox> so since VLC is a Qt application, it requires different libraries
[04:28] <vede> Aren't they both gtk-based?
[04:28] <komies> So pretty much I reached a dead end... and came here.
[04:28] <dsnyders> dbbolton, Check out http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[04:28] <Clorox> and generally doesn't work well in a GTK based DE
[04:29] <Clorox> Kubuntu is Qt
[04:29] <komies> but its behaviour is similar to its behaviour on windows. Popups in firefox, trying to prevent you from closing the fake windows security center page, etc
[04:29] <computer_> yes but not completely, works better with gnome environment
[04:29] <n00b823> well do: sudo apt-get remove firefox
[04:29] <DMJC> hmm
[04:29] <n00b823> then reinstall it
[04:29] <legend2440> josvuk: i think this will give you 3.2  http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/DebianPackages
[04:29] <DMJC> removing firefox won't necessarily remove it
[04:29] <vede> VLC was running fine a while ago.
[04:29] <DMJC> also look in /usr and home/.mozilla .firefox folders
[04:29] <n00b823> try: sudo aptitude purge firefox then?
[04:29] <computer_> vede, have u tried to reinstall?
[04:30] <vede> But then I tried fiddling with PulseAudo, and now it doesn't work.
[04:30] <vede> Yes, I've reinstalled VLC.
[04:30] <Flannel> fefer: Is there something we can help you with?
[04:30] <DMJC> vede: IMHO pulseaudio is crap
[04:30] <dsnyders> dbbolton, Is there a reason you want to change the number of startup shells?
[04:30] <DMJC> I prefer to go pure alsa
[04:30] <vede> What should I use?
[04:30] <Clorox> try: mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla~
[04:30] <komies> ok, going to check in firefox's folders first
[04:30] <vede> What is alsa?
[04:30] <komies> where is /usr located?
[04:30] <DMJC> Ubuntu has pulseaudio for convenience
[04:30] <Clorox> then starting firefox up again
[04:30] <josvuk> legend2440: No, there are no packages for ppc
[04:30] <Vovk> advanced linux sound somethingorother
[04:30] <josvuk> :-(
[04:30] <DMJC> basically ALSA is what's sitting underneath pulseaudio
[04:31] <komies> The thing is... it's sporadic, and I can't duplicate it, so I won't really know if anything's worked. x_x
[04:31] <Vovk> and to be honest, You would want Pulseaudio when you want dynamic software mixing :)
[04:31] <vede> Okay...
[04:31] <webbb8> what is the apps name that stores your minamized applications then click on the icon and maximise
[04:31] <Vovk> i.e.
[04:31] <Vovk> playing 2 programs
[04:31] <Vovk> which both make sounds
[04:31] <legend2440> josvuk: oh ok forgot you said ppc
[04:31] <Vovk> at the same time
[04:31] <FloodBot2> Vovk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:31] <vede> I want my headset to be able to send audio to Skype.
[04:31] <fefer> Flannel, hmm, probably not.
[04:31] <vede> Right now I can test it with PulseAudio, and it works, but Skype won't detect it.
[04:31] <komies> What would I be looking for in the firefox folders?
[04:31] <ramavadakattu> i could not able to setup the virtual hosts properly on Ubuntu.all virtual hosts (for which i have create files in sites-enabled directory)  (www.alumclub.net,groupalumni.com ) pointing to default "It works Page". Any clue on what going wrong?
[04:32] <DMJC> Vovk what the hell?
[04:32] <almostAg33k> anyone use ninjavideo?
[04:32] <DMJC> I never ever use pulseaudio for that infact it seems to mess up more than it helps (static when playing anything with cpu load)
[04:32] <Vovk> DMJC i was never able to get alsa to get 2 programs to both play sounds at the same time
[04:32] <DMJC> audigy 2 platinum pro card here
[04:32] <DMJC> works fine
[04:32] <vede> Is it a problem that I don't have a sound card?
[04:32] <Vovk> DMJC pulseaudio fixed the problem for me
[04:33] <Vovk> vede, your mother board should have one
[04:33] <fefer> Flannel, unless you have a way to use snmpv3 without inputting a password and without having a cleartext password file snmp.conf < to initiate snmpv3traps. also not using pki
[04:33] <vede> yeah, I'm pretty sure it does.
[04:33] <DMJC> do an lspci
[04:33] <vede> Alright, so... any ideas on how to get Skype to work?
[04:33] <DMJC> and paste it to me in a private window
[04:34] <DMJC> skype'll use either alsa or pulseaudio
[04:34] <DMJC> it can use both
[04:34] <vede> Well, right now it's not using either.
[04:34] <vede> Or if it is, it's not properly catching my headset.
[04:34] <DMJC> which skype version are you using?
[04:35] <vede> Um...
[04:35] <DMJC> there's the one the distro ships with and then there's the website's version
[04:35] <vede> I got the one off the website.
[04:35] <DMJC> ok
[04:35] <DMJC> that's what I'm using
[04:35] <alus> I'm setting up a new server
[04:35] <vede> :/ said it was for intrepid, is that a problem?
[04:35] <alus> what version of Ubuntu should I use?
[04:35] <DMJC> shouldn't be a problem and it shouldn't mater
[04:35] <DMJC> alus: either use commandline only
[04:35] <vede> Okay.
[04:35] <DMJC> or use a gui ubuntu
[04:35] <[nodus]_> so what do folks think of the new ck schedualer
[04:36] <[nodus]_> i see why mainline wouldnt want it
[04:36] <austin__> Hey, I wan't to access my server staus reports in apache, but i don't know how to set it up in ubuntu.  can anyone help me out?
[04:36] <alus> dmjc: this is for a headless server, so a GUI will not be useful
[04:36] <DMJC> ok
[04:36] <alus> I mean, which version number?
[04:36] <DMJC> use CLI only then
[04:36] <[nodus]_> but it seems like something right up ubuntu's alley
[04:36] <alus> 8? 9?
[04:36] <DMJC> use 9.04
[04:36] <bastid_raZor> alus: stability wise go with LTS versions.. 8.04 then 9.10
[04:36] <Guest85400> Anyone?
[04:36] <Jyard> anyone know of a website that explains how to install screenlets in ubuntu jaunty ? can't seem to find a workable site on google
[04:36] <DMJC> avoid 9.10 unless you want bleeding edge
[04:36] <webbb8> what is the app that when you minamize a window it will goto the panel   , what applet is that   i want to find a 3rd party one
[04:36] <hacked_kernel> I got ubuntu jaunty on dell inpiron 1525, the sound was working fine but suddenly it stopped working "device: null output pulse audio"
[04:37] <alus> DMJC: how about 9.04 ?
[04:37] <ssgtstory> maximus?
[04:37] <DMJC> 9.04 was quite stable on my laptop
[04:37] <vede> This IRC is insane.
[04:37] <DMJC> 9.10 is still getting lots of patches/updates
[04:37] <alus> ok.
[04:37] <Clorox> webbb8: I think that's AllTray
[04:37] <alus> and 8.10 is just too old?
[04:38] <Clorox> Jyard: it's in Synaptic
[04:38] <DMJC> 8.10 isn't too old but you'll probably find it's easier to run a bit newer
[04:38] <alus> ok
[04:38]  * alus settles on 9.04
[04:38] <DMJC> newer = more user friendly, older = more tested
[04:38] <quentusrex> Does anyone know of a way to debug a corrupted torrent file?
[04:38] <[nodus]_> depends completely on what he is doing
[04:38] <webbb8> no not alltray   is it the taskmanager
[04:39] <[nodus]_> if he is tossing apache on a headless box
[04:39] <quentusrex> I can't find out why I'm having problems with the creation of a torrent file...
[04:39] <webbb8> if i were to minamize this window it would normaly goto the panel   what app does this
[04:39] <Jyard> Clorox: ah right on ty
[04:39] <Clorox> what?
[04:39] <Guest85400> does anybody know anything about apache?
[04:39] <webbb8> task manager?
[04:40] <Clorox> Guest85400: what about apache?
[04:40]  * vede still needs help with Skype...
[04:40] <Clorox> :( sorry, can't help you with Skype
[04:40] <bastid_raZor> webbb8: there is an applet of sorts that displays that in the bottom panel. have you lost this?
[04:40] <Guest85400> Clorox: I eddited my .conf file to see server staus...but when i try to visit it in my browser it says permission denyed...i wan't to view it though
[04:41] <webbb8> bassliner: yes
[04:41]  * vede also thinks this IRC should be split up into a few smaller channels so it's not so chaotic, and people can actually get help.
[04:41] <webbb8> i  del the panel
[04:41] <Guest85400> Clorox: Think you can help me with this?
[04:41] <Clorox> Guest85400: what are the permissions of the file set to?
[04:41] <Guest85400> Clorox: Ah, yes the permissions....of the .conf file?
[04:41] <Clorox> Guest85400: yes
[04:41] <bastid_raZor> !panels | webbb8 .. the easiest way.
[04:42] <Guest85400> Clorox: read-only and root
[04:42] <Clorox> Guest85400: gimme Octal.
[04:42] <Guest85400> Clorox: Octal?
[04:43] <Guest85400> Clorox: What is that?
[04:43] <Clorox> Guest85400: yeah, hang on a sec
[04:43] <Guest85400> Clorox: k
[04:43] <almostAg33k> can i get google chrome on  ubuntu?
[04:43] <webbb8> bastid_raZor:  ya i was trying to find the name of the applets that does this so i can try to find a alternative app
[04:43] <Jet_Li> hi peoples!!!
[04:43] <Clorox> Guest85400: gimme the output of "ls -a /etc/apache2/"
[04:44] <vede> Oh wow. VLC started working.
[04:44] <LinuX2half> is it normal that I don't have a proprietary driver installed?
[04:44] <vede> Just, randomly.
[04:44] <bastid_raZor> webbb8: window list is the name of it. you can find it by right clicking the panel and add to panel then at the main bottom of the list.
[04:44] <biggleswirth> would anyone be able to tell me why a connection to my ubuntu server keeps dropping on my local network (tricky one)?
[04:44] <Guest85400> Clorox: austin@austin-desktop:~$ ls -a /etc/apache2/
[04:44] <Guest85400> .   apache2.conf  envvars     httpd.conf~     mods-enabled  sites-available
[04:44] <Guest85400> ..  conf.d        httpd.conf  mods-available  ports.conf    sites-enabled
[04:44] <Guest85400> austin@austin-desktop:~$
[04:44] <FloodBot2> Guest85400: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:44] <DMJC> vede, my money is on pulseaudio cocking up
[04:44] <Guest85400> whoops..paspebin my bad
[04:44] <Clorox> Guest85400: Whoops, I mean "ls -l /etc/apache2"
[04:44] <Clorox> sorry
[04:45] <vede> Now let's see if Skype works...
[04:45] <SJr> What is a relatively painless spamfilter I can setup with exim
[04:45] <Guest85400> clorox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/266442/
[04:45] <Darkebrz> Wee, time to install Linux
[04:46] <Guest85400> darkebrz: Good luck friend
[04:46] <legend2440> LinuX2half: open system>admin>hardware drivers  any drivers in there to activate?
[04:46] <vede> Nope, Skype doesn't work.
[04:46] <prince_jammys> Guest85400: what is it that you try to visit in your browser?
[04:46] <Clorox> Guest85400: Well, it's set to read... I don't know what to say
[04:46] <prince_jammys> Guest85400: also, try #apache if it has to do with your server configuration.
[04:46] <LinuX2half> legend2440, no, it said there's no proprietary
[04:46] <vede> It seems like I should just be able to change the source/sink and be fine...
[04:46] <kurt_> anyone have any idea how to chainload other mbr's from grub2 by any chance?
[04:47] <Guest85400> prince_jammys: http://192.168.1.101/server-status is what im trying to do
[04:47] <LinuX2half> legend2440, drivers install
[04:47] <binarycortex> good evening
[04:47] <binarycortex> i need some help
[04:47] <almostAg33k> can any one tell me how to make a partition so i can instal xp?
[04:47] <Guest85400> prince_jammys: It keeps saying I don't have permisssion to acces /server-status on this server
[04:47] <LinuX2half> legend2440, its said that there's no driver in use in this system
[04:47] <prince_jammys> Guest85400: ok. perhaps you have it disallowed in your configuration files. visit apache's own irc channel, #apache
[04:47] <legend2440> LinuX2half: you may have to use open source. what card?
[04:47] <binarycortex> i need to burn an iso from the live cd
[04:48] <Guest85400> prince_jammys: alright, thank you :)
[04:48] <ramavadakattu> all virtual hosts in ubuntu are pointing the default site.Any clue on what is going wrong?
[04:48] <GuidMorrow> prince_jammys: what the crap, cinelerra crashed, and now Computer Janitor wants to clean it away from my system
[04:48] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: hehe. i installed it too!
[04:48] <LucidGuy> Can anyone recommend good wifi scanning Ubuntu/Linux app?
[04:48] <binarycortex> ubuntu wont let me eject the cd
[04:48] <ramavadakattu> all virtual hosts in ubuntu are pointing the default site.Any clue on what is going wrong?
[04:48] <vede> When PulseAudio asks for the "other" source or sink, what is it asking for?
[04:48] <vede> Should I put in that pair of hex codes?
[04:48] <binarycortex> is there any way to boot from an iso on an ntfs partition
[04:48] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: i don't know who this janitor is. i don't have one.
[04:48] <Scunizi> binarycortex: "unmount" it...
[04:48] <vede> That it displays in the manager?
[04:48] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: fire him.
[04:49] <hacked_kernel> binarycortex, sudo eject /dev/cdrom
[04:49] <LinuX2half> legend2440, I don't know what card you're referring to but here's all the data from my computer, http://paste.ubuntu.com/266444/
[04:49] <Wildbat> question is it possible to rename files in commandline like a* -> b* ?
[04:49] <prince_jammys> write out the full question.
[04:49] <alus> DMJC: user friendly? http://codepad.org/UqniYt7d
[04:50] <prince_jammys> lest we have to decipher "does he mean a literal asterisk?"
[04:50] <biggleswirth> anyone know why my ubuntu server connection would drop off the local netwrok, intermitently?
[04:50]  * dabj01 wrote a PHP script to use for Wildbat's task. But isn't at home and doesn't have access to it.
[04:50] <vede> Should I maybe just type in "my usb headset lol" when it asks for the "other" source or sink?
[04:50] <binarycortex> Scunizi: how would i unmount the cd if its being used as the hard drive
[04:50] <dabj01> prince_jammys: i'm sure he means the parts caught by the * get copied to the new name
[04:50] <dsnyders> dbbolton, I think you have to look at the /etc/event.d tty* files to change things.
[04:50] <binarycortex> thanks hacked_kernel ill try that
[04:50] <Scunizi> binarycortex: why would you want to eject it if it's being used as the hard drive?
[04:51] <legend2440> LinuX2half: your video card is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
[04:51] <prince_jammys> dabj01: me too, but since he didn't have time to type that, i don't have time to answer.
[04:51] <binarycortex> so i can insert a blank cd
[04:51] <vede> ...
[04:51] <binarycortex> i booted the live ubuntu and need to burn a cd from the same drive
[04:51] <Scunizi> binarycortex: to what purpose?
[04:51] <turbo964> hi everyone can someone please help me...im not a computer genius and i need some help with ubuntu
[04:51] <binarycortex> to run windows check disk
[04:51] <dabj01> turbo964, ask your question, don't ask to ask
[04:52] <binarycortex> or does fsck know how to fix windows partitions
[04:52] <Scunizi> binarycortex: if you've booted the live cd and want to put in the windows cd to run checkdisk .. it won't work anyway..
[04:52] <dsnyders> turbo964, In an IRC chat, you don't ask if somebody can help, you just ask your question.  We all are here because we need help
[04:52] <binarycortex> no i need to burn a windows iso to cd so i can boot from it
[04:53] <dabj01> or want to help
[04:53] <turbo964> thanks...i have a hp dv9000 laptop with windows vista home premium currently installed...i would like to instal ubuntu and keep vista...so i can use ubuntu when i want to play games and vista all other times...how can i do this?
[04:53] <binarycortex> i am only in ubuntu to burn the cd
[04:53] <barqs> Hi, just a question guys. I have a main desktop using windows, with my printer, photoprinter, scanner, etc. connected, but I also have a laptop with Ubuntu 9.04 installed. Linux sees my windows network, and I can connect to the desktop perfectly, but how would I  be able to print from the laptop, if it's connected to the other computer?
[04:53] <GuidMorrow> I can't even record video with this thing
[04:53] <_kurt_> anyone have any idea how to chainload other mbr's from grub2 by any chance?
[04:53] <LinuX2half> legend2440, well I'm sure its installed and working
[04:53] <GuidMorrow> for some reason it throws exceptions, and then it tells me I don't have enough disk space
[04:54] <biggleswirth> when I boot up ubuntu, I can ssh into my account from another machine, but eventually, the connection drops and I have to reinitialize the ethernet interface. Anyone had similar problems?
[04:54] <kahen> barqs: linux needs to have drivers to be able to output in a format the printer connected to the windows computer can understand
[04:54] <GuidMorrow> last time I checked it said I had 155.2G space left
[04:54] <dsnyders> turbo964, There are two ways of doing this.  You could download the ubuntu cd, which runs on its own, or you could set up your machine to dual boot between vista and linux
[04:54] <legend2440> LinuX2half: is there a problem with it?
[04:54] <brian__> i need some help  for some reason when i hit alt-f2 the launcher doesnt start
[04:54] <Scunizi> binarycortex: that's a cunumdrum (sp?). you need the ubuntu cd in the drive to be able to burn but you need a blank in the drive to write to.. sounds like a second cd drive is in order unless someone else has a different solution
[04:54] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: my opinion of it wasn't too stellar, either, after very brief exposure.
[04:55] <kahen> barqs: have you set up samba so you can see the desktop on the local network?
[04:55] <vede> Okay... what do I do if I want to change the active source and sink and such in PulseAudio?
[04:55] <binarycortex> Scunizi: its a laptop
[04:55] <_kurt_> or does anyone know a good way to do full disk encryption with booting multiple OSes that doesn't involve truecrypt?
[04:55] <Scunizi> binarycortex: that doesn't change anything.
[04:55] <LinuX2half> legend2440, no, not exactly but whenever I watch a movie online fullscreen, it froze slightly on every frame.
[04:55] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: perhaps it has its own irc channel. it's not supported here.
[04:55] <dsnyders> turbo964, You could also look at a program called wubi
[04:55] <turbo964> dsnyders, so if  i download the cd will i not need to instal ubuntu? will i just burn it to a cd and run it from there?
[04:55] <binarycortex> Scunizi: is there a way to boot the live cd, and use a custom command to tell it to boot from an iso on the harddrive
[04:55] <turbo964> what does wubi do?
[04:56] <Scunizi> binarycortex: why do you need to run checkdisk?
[04:56] <LinuX2half> legend2440, I've heard that the flash player isn't very good so it had created such glitch
[04:56] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi: binarycortex possibly make a usb install then the drive will be available.
[04:56] <binarycortex> bluescreen on boot, inaccessable boot volume
[04:56] <binarycortex> no usb drive
[04:56] <barqs> kahen: linux seems to have setup Samba by itself, so I just go to places>network>windows network and connect from there. But when I try and add a network printer, it doesn't work for some reason
[04:56] <barqs> kahen: Would you know how to fix this?
[04:56] <kahen> barqs: system > administration > printing doesn't find it?
[04:57] <dsnyders> turbo964, yes, you boot to the CD and run ubuntu from there.  You will be somewhat limited in what you can do.
[04:57] <SJr> hmmm
[04:57] <brian__> how do i get alt-f2 to open the launcher again
[04:58] <Guest12250> i have installed xp and ubuntu 9 on my laptop so how can i get files which are on xp desktop from ubuntu
[04:58] <barqs> kahen: let me go turn it on and try :)
[04:58] <dabj01> turbo964, if you live in college place, wa i'll come over and help you setup dual-boot right now
[04:58] <dsnyders> turbo964, wubi creates a version of ubuntu that runs as a windows app.
[04:58] <legend2440> LinuX2half: heres some info about that card. i use nvidia so not sure what may be wrong   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i810
[04:58] <binarycortex> is there anyway to run wubi from within the live cd?
[04:58] <Scunizi> binarycortex: if you have enough room on your drive you could install ubuntu as a dual boot and take care of it that way.
[04:59] <binarycortex> perhaps
[04:59] <turbo964> ok but will be able to play games ok? i have an nvidia 7150M graphics card and need for speed carbon and most other games dont work well and someone told me to use ubuntu for gaming. in this case will i be able to play games with ubuntu and change back to vista for everything else? and what happens with my files and settings currently on vista?
[04:59] <mrTr0ut> in 9.04 how can I automatically mount a partition to "/disk" when ubuntu starts up?
[04:59] <biggleswirth> I've asked 4 times already about my networking issues, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me :)
[04:59] <binarycortex> but that would change the boot sector anyway
[04:59] <LinuX2half> legend2440, okay, I'll see what I can found
[04:59] <GuidMorrow> !!!INTRUDER ALERT!!!
[04:59] <Scunizi> binarycortex: however in my experience, with a bsod in windows.. you most likely will have to do a full reinstall to fix it anyway..
[05:00] <NewfierRich> hey all, I just got a program that monitors my system and it shows cpu0, cpu1 and cpu2... I am running a dual core... what is cpu 0?
[05:00] <binarycortex> i used to be windows tech support
[05:00] <binarycortex> this is fixable
[05:00] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: ha. you playin' berzerk?
[05:00] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: if you didn't get that, never mind. i must be old.
[05:00] <Scunizi> binarycortex: hahahaha.. but not without linux? Now that is funny!
[05:00] <mrTr0ut> NewfierRich cpu count starts at 0..if you have dualcore then you have cpu0 and cpu1
[05:01] <legend2440> LinuX2half: if you do edit your xorg.conf i would recommend backing up old one first
[05:01] <binarycortex> i can fix it without linux but not without a cd burned
[05:01] <dsnyders> prince_jammys, Perhaps he's watching the labour day Star Trek Marathon.
[05:01] <binarycortex> which i cant do without linux
[05:01] <binarycortex> :D
[05:01] <prince_jammys> dsnyders: see, I must be old.
[05:01] <dabj01> OMG star trek marathon
[05:01] <barqs> kahen: It does not find the printer
[05:02] <Scunizi> binarycortex: at least you have some humor about this.. :).. it's a tough situation.. you could create a usb boot of linux if you had usb and then make use of the cdrom
[05:02] <hacked_kernel> I got ubuntu jaunty on dell inpiron 1525, the sound was working fine but suddenly it stopped working "device: null output pulse audio", any help?
[05:02] <NewfierRich> mrtrout, then why does it show 3 cpu's this is weird
[05:02] <kahen> barqs: can you pastebin the output from "smbtree" then? http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[05:02] <binarycortex> i wish i could run wubi from here
[05:02] <Declination> hacked_kernel: did you perform any updates recently?
[05:03] <xCornEttO> Alguem ae do BRASIL????
[05:03] <hacked_kernel> Declination, apt-get upgrade
[05:03] <biggleswirth> periodically, ubuntu server connection drops on local network, any ideas?
[05:03] <xCornEttO> alguem ae q pelo menos saiba falar portugues?
[05:03] <Scunizi> binarycortex: you might be able to do a net boot of ubuntu and then have the cdrom available.. but that is beyond my experience.
[05:03] <dsnyders> binarycortex, There is a website called pen drive linux which walks you through creating linux bootable usb flash drives.
[05:03] <arquebus> !br
[05:03] <xCornEttO> obrigado
[05:03] <hacked_kernel> Declination, and i installed the conexant modem driver with dell modules
[05:03] <binarycortex> dsnyders: need a usb stick for that
[05:04] <Declination> hacked_kernel: i can't imagine that would have an effect on pulseaudio
[05:04] <binarycortex> or i need the /toram option on boot
[05:04] <dsnyders> binarycortex, Yes, you would.  What are you trying to accomplish
[05:04] <barqs> kahen: Sure, it's this url: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/266449/
[05:04] <binarycortex> but ubuntu doesnt have that
[05:04] <binarycortex> i need to burn a winpe boot disk
[05:04] <Declination> hacked_kernel: does ps ax | grep pulseaudio show something like /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start?
[05:05] <binarycortex> something on my ntfs drive is corrupted so it wont boot
[05:05] <dsnyders> binarycortex, do you have a floppy drive?
[05:05] <binarycortex> nope
[05:05] <hacked_kernel> Declination, none
[05:05] <binarycortex> well i might but no floppies
[05:05] <hacked_kernel> Declination, aplay -l : no sound cards found,    ls /dev/audio* : ls: cannot access /dev/audio*: No such file or directory
[05:05] <kahen> barqs: and you have turned on file and printer sharing on windows? i think it's in properties for your network connection somewhere
[05:05] <DJNomad> Hi all I am trying to get bitpim to work with my phone,I found a tutorial that says to install 2shared.I am wondering if this is not a good idea
[05:06] <DJNomad> http://polygon89.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/how-to-get-bitpim-to-detect-your-cellphone-in-ubuntu-linux/
[05:06] <DJNomad> theres the link to the tutorial
[05:06] <Declination> hacked_kernel: what does alsamixer give you?
[05:06] <dsnyders> binarycortex, Yikes, no boot possibilities other than CD and corrupted disk.  Right?
[05:06] <binarycortex> can i chroot to an iso?
[05:06] <binarycortex> yup
[05:06] <hacked_kernel> Declination, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[05:06] <kain_> hi all, anyone know how to fix my problem : i just switched from a 2:1 speaker to 5.1 speaker set, and with my old 2:1, the sound was perfect, now with my 5:1 speakers, i have to put the volumen to the max but still hear a little sound
[05:06] <binarycortex> would the instructions on customizing the ubuntu cd be of help here
[05:06] <LinuX2half> legend2440,well thanks for the help, I'll come back if I need help again.
[05:07] <dsnyders> binarycortex, any free space on the hard drive?
[05:07] <binarycortex> yes
[05:07] <GuidMorrow> someone pinged me in here
[05:07] <biggleswirth> periodically, ubuntu server connection drops on local network, any ideas?
[05:07] <legend2440> LinuX2half: ok
[05:07] <Declination> hacked_kernel: hmm... thats probably bad, my hunch is that kernel update may have goofed drivers for your soundcard, but you are past the limit of my knowledge
[05:07]  * GuidMorrow sets mode +C
[05:07] <barqs> kahen: Yeah, I have, it used to work when the laptop had windows, but for some reason it doesn't work when I have ubuntu on here. When I try to add a new network printer, I cannot get access to the desktop computer via the new printer menus. it says access denied. Not sure how I could get access?
[05:07] <hacked_kernel> Declination, well thank you for your help
[05:08] <dsnyders> binarycortex, you could install linux onto that as a dual boot
[05:08] <legend2440> hacked_kernel: try in terminal  lspci | grep -i audio
[05:08] <kahen> barqs: not really, no. perhaps #samba?
[05:08] <binarycortex> yea, that was suggested, my only question on that is if the boot sector is whats corrupted...
[05:08] <hacked_kernel> Declination, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
[05:08] <barqs> kahen: Let me try that out
[05:09] <binarycortex> would it be possible to extract the contents of the cd to an ntfs partition and chroot into that to free up the hard drive
[05:09] <dsnyders> binarycortex, do you know if it is corrupted, or is that a guess?
[05:09] <brian__> any ideas why my alt-f2 bindings dont work anymore
[05:09] <biggleswirth> periodically, ubuntu server connection drops on local network, any ideas? One thing I notice is that as soon, or around the time this happens, output related to the "daemon log" is restarting...
[05:09] <binarycortex> 95% sure check disk will fix the issue
[05:09] <barqs> hm, seems to have worked, along with me using all lower case letters. I guess the full-upper case was a bad idea lol
[05:10] <barqs> kahen: Thank you! It worked. I used all lower case letters. Your help was much appreciated
[05:10] <binarycortex> i have no idea what part is bad, probably not the boot sector but you never know
[05:10] <binarycortex> it does start booting but something goes wrong during the boot
[05:11] <dsnyders> binarycortex, how far along in the boot process?
[05:11] <binarycortex> somewhere during the splash screen
[05:11] <binarycortex> loading the os files
[05:11] <binarycortex> im reasonably sure its not the boot sector but...
[05:12] <bastid_raZor> binarycortex: ##windows may be a better channel.
[05:12] <dsnyders> binarycortex, I'm sure you're well past the boot sector at that point.  Setting up a dual boot should work.
[05:12] <binarycortex> bastid_raZor:  i need help getting the live cd to burn a cd
[05:12] <binarycortex> i can fix windows after that
[05:13] <Scunizi> binarycortex: after creating a dual boot you might become a convert :)
[05:13] <bastid_raZor> binarycortex: that isn't possible from the liveCD.
[05:13] <binarycortex> Scunizi: i already am, but this is a work computer
[05:13] <binarycortex> bastid_raZor: i guessed that much
[05:13] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor: it would be if he had 2 cdrom burners..
[05:13] <bastid_raZor> binarycortex: your IT dept. will have a disk on monday.
[05:14] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi: yes i agree, but not with one.
[05:14] <Scunizi> binarycortex: good.. glad to hear you're not a "virgin" lixer
[05:14] <binarycortex> is it possible to create a hard drive file like wubi does, format it as ext3, mount it, extract the contents of the cd to it then chroot to it?
[05:14] <binarycortex> tuesday
[05:14] <binarycortex> monday is a holiday
[05:14] <binarycortex> besides on tuesday i can reimage it my self
[05:14] <bastid_raZor> binardi think the way wubi works is like a VM.. creates a file on the drive.
[05:15] <Guest12250> how to access files on xp desktop from ubuntu 9 both are installed on same laptop
[05:15] <kain_> i've read that it's called a soft volume problem, does anyone have a solution?
[05:15] <prince_jammys> !ntfs | Guest12250
[05:15] <bastid_raZor> Guest12250: mount the partition
[05:16] <dsnyders> binarycortex, I wouldn't know how to do that, although it may be possible.
[05:17] <credobyte> Guest12250: find XP's partition from fdisk & mount it.
[05:17] <miguelonnnn> hi! hehe
[05:17] <biggleswirth> periodically, ubuntu server connection drops on local network, any ideas? I have to bring down et1 the bring it back up again to restore the connection, but this is pretty inconvenient
[05:18] <miguelonnnn> new computer?
[05:18] <miguelonnnn> maybe nic is dying
[05:19] <dsnyders> biggleswirth, any clues in /var/log/messages?
[05:19] <owen1> I can't see some flash sites ( http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap  ).  i have adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1, flashplugin-installer 10.0.32.18ubuntu0.9.04.1 and flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.32.18ubuntu0.9.04.1.  any idea?
[05:19] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: checking...
[05:20] <miguelonnnn> duno owen, but are you sure its only your computer?
[05:21] <owen1> miguelonnnn: what do u mean? it ok on my other ubuntus machines?
[05:21] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: every 20 minutes, there is output as "--MARK--", 7 entries. only other output is system restart
[05:21] <gwildor> miguelonnnn, owen1 that site works for me.
[05:22] <owen1> gwildor: miguelonnnn works on my other machines.
[05:22] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: in /var/log/messages I mean
[05:22] <suave> öäå
[05:22] <dsnyders> biggleswirth, the --mark-- marks are there to let you know that the machine is still running (at least on the whole).
[05:22] <owen1> gwildor: miguelonnnn how do i trouble shoot this issue?
[05:22] <suave> eh!
[05:22] <suave> ops
[05:22] <BeWop> Hello, I'm having a problem with my wireless. I recently reinstalled ubuntu 9.04, and last install, it automatically installed the wireless driver. Now, I don't know if it's installed, but I can't get it active either way.
[05:23] <BeWop> Does anyone know how to fix this?
[05:23] <RHorse> BeWop you can test this
[05:23] <miguelonnnn> ok sry then i can't help anymore owen :(
[05:23] <miguelonnnn> well, can you tell me the url? i may try it on my xubuntu netbook
[05:23] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: ok, I think this started when I installed bind9 to try to set up local dns. I uninstalled bind9 earlier and restarted the system, but the connection drop still happened...
[05:24] <BeWop> RHorse: What am I testing?
[05:24] <owen1> miguelonnnn: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegaphttp://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap
[05:24] <dsnyders> biggleswirth, when you say the connection drops, what do you mean?
[05:24] <dsnyders> biggleswirth, can you ping the server?>
[05:24] <RHorse> bewop drop to a terminal and pastebin your ifconfig and iwconfig results
[05:24] <owen1> miguelonnnn: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap
[05:24] <miguelonnnn> ok brb
[05:24] <miguelonnnn> just w8 a minute
[05:24] <BeWop> RHorse ok, hold on
[05:25] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: i can't ping it from other machines on the network, though the ip address for the server still shows as reserved in the DHCP table of my router
[05:25] <owen1> miguelonnnn: i know it's only this laptop's issue.
[05:25] <BeWop> RHorse: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/266456/
[05:26] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: also, ifconfig on the server still shows the correct ip address on eth1, as leased from the router
[05:27] <RHorse> bewop do you know the essid of your router?
[05:27] <BeWop> RHorse: How can I find this?
[05:27] <dsnyders> biggleswirth, are you able to ping the router from the server?
[05:27] <miguelonnnn>  hi i'm back, it works perfect at mine
[05:28] <windy> Is there anyone who is using ubuntu9.10?
[05:28] <BeWop> RHorse: or can I just not get it?
[05:28] <miguelonnnn> must be your computer owen
[05:28] <BeWop> windy: I am
[05:28] <RHorse> bewop it should be with your router printed material. If not, you can type iwlist wlan0 scanning and look at the output.
[05:28] <alex_c> So, if I have an ATI Radeon X1200 (the kind that fglrx doesn't work for anymore) is there still any chance of getting working 3d acceleration?
[05:28] <alex_c> I'm using the radeonhd driver
[05:28] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: haven't tried that, I will have to wait for the issue to happen again in order to test that unfortunately
[05:28] <BeWop> RHorse: wlan0 isn't a command
[05:29] <owen1> miguelonnnn: i know, but how do i troubleshoot this?
[05:29] <RHorse> type iwlist wlan0 scanning
[05:29] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: try the radeon driver
[05:29] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: I am not sure what triggers the problem
[05:29] <windy> BeWop,I find that the empathy is not working properly,what about yours?
[05:29] <alex_c> @bastid_raZor radonhd works better
[05:29] <BeWop> windy: mine works fine
[05:30] <dsnyders> biggleswirth, unfortunately, I'm going to have to close down now.  My eyes are starting to close on their own.
[05:30] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: then you know you can get 3d working already.?
[05:30] <alex_c> bastid_raZor still, how do I make the 3D magic happen
[05:30] <windy> oh,THX
[05:30] <BeWop> RHorse: it says: "Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable"
[05:30] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: ok, no problem, you've given me some ideas. thanks for your help :)
[05:30] <alex_c> bastid_raZor how do I get GLI goin'
[05:30] <sharperguy> !botsnack
[05:30] <alex_c> or whatever
[05:31] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: are you trying to use compiz?
[05:31] <credobyte> sharperguy: lol, where did you find that ?
[05:31] <dsnyders> biggleswirth, You may wish to look at your /var/log/dmesg while you're poking around.
[05:31] <alex_c> bastid_raZor yes
[05:31] <RHorse> bewop try typing sudo iwconfig wlan0
[05:31] <biggleswirth> dsnyders: ok, will do, thanks
[05:31] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: which version of ubuntu?
[05:31] <dsnyders> g'night all!
[05:31] <alex_c> bastid_raZor Jaunty - when I've tried it, the screen whites out
[05:31] <RHorse> bewop now try the iwlist command again
[05:32] <kain_> anyone have a chance to help me with my sound problem, i was out for 5 min
[05:32] <alex_c> bastid_raZor I turned on compositing in my xorg config
[05:32] <Wildbat> arrr   , sorry but i forgot what do i do to install flashplasyer to Firefox....
[05:32] <BeWop> RHorse: That didn't work. If it helps, on my last install, it told me to install drivers to get the card working, but on this install, it didn't work. Same install CD.
[05:33] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: for me the radeonhd driver didn't work. i have the same card as you. using radeon driver compiz and 3d works
[05:33] <RHorse> bewop which card?
[05:33] <alex_c> bastid_raZor radeon didn't seem to detect my monitor settings - is there a way to fix that?
[05:33] <BeWop> RHorse: broadcom 802.11 b/g wlan
[05:34] <RHorse> bewop do you have an ethernet wire attached?
[05:34] <BeWop> RHorse: Yes
[05:35] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: settings as in resolution?
[05:35] <alex_c> bastid_raZor exactly
[05:35] <RHorse> BeWop try typing sudo iwconfig ath0
[05:36] <RHorse> then try iwlist ath0 scanning
[05:36] <BeWop> no such device
[05:36] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: you would have to add them to xorg.conf to force resolutions. but what resolution is it not allowing? is it on a laptop?
[05:36] <BeWop> RHorse: no such device and interface doesn't support scanning
[05:36] <RHorse> bewop, yes, it's prolly a driver issue
[05:37] <BeWop> I know,  but I don't know how to get that driver again
[05:37] <BeWop> RHorse: I know, but I don't know how to get that one back.
[05:37] <KF5CLL> #hamradio
[05:37] <alex_c> bastid_raZor yeah it's a laptop that's 13whatever by 768 - radeonhd picks it up no problem
[05:38] <RHorse> bewop restricted wireless driver? Not in the software repo gui thingy?
[05:38] <alex_c> bastid_raZor here's my lspci on it: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics] [1002:9612]
[05:38] <BeWop> RHorse: Possibly. How do I check that?
[05:39] <alex_c> bastid_raZor I just got this machine today, so I think the hd driver is what I want
[05:39] <RHorse> bewop it should be under the menu system somewhere
[05:39] <BeWop> RHorse Synaptic?
[05:39] <RHorse> yes.
[05:40] <RHorse> Or system - restricted drivers or something...
[05:40] <BeWop> RHorse Hardware Drivers?
[05:41] <BeWop> RHorse AH
[05:41] <BeWop> Found it
[05:41] <BeWop> Thanks a ton
[05:41] <RHorse> BeWop what is the model of that card?
[05:41] <BeWop> RHorse I found the screen that I saw earlier
[05:41] <BeWop> It's the driver
[05:41] <BeWop> RHorse This'll fix it, thanks a lot
[05:41] <RHorse> bewop HIW!
[05:42] <BeWop> RHorse Oh, and it's BCM43xx if you were woundering
[05:42] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: add a modeline to xorg.conf ..i'm guessing 1280x800 is the highest the radeon driver will see?
[05:42] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: yeah.. that isn't the X1200 card you said earlier..
[05:42] <BeWop> RHose, thanks and see ya
[05:43] <alex_c> bastid_raZor is there no way to do compiz with radeonhd?
[05:43] <alex_c> bastid_raZor I thought they were mostly the same
[05:43] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: that i don't know. i'm looking in the community docs now.
[05:44] <alex_c> bastid_raZor my hunch is that it is incompatible with fglrx because I installed it and it didn't work - then again I bought the machine today
[05:44] <alex_c> bastid_raZor it's an acer aspire 5517
[05:44] <RHorse> bewop google gives 960,000 results for BCM43xx ubuntu drivers lol
[05:45] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: i have the 5515 ..   look at this page.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver  it includes the HD driver on that page.
[05:47] <alex_c> bastid_raZor so I nominally have the X1200 but the hd driver says otherwise
[05:47] <alex_c> bastid_raZor should I just hack out my own xorg.conf, then?
[05:47] <alex_c> and use radeon
[05:48] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: lspci tells you that you do not have the X1200 card. even when i had the radeonhd driver isntall it didn't change what card was detected.
[05:49] <bastid_raZor> alex_c:  VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]  is the card i have.
[05:49] <alex_c> hm
[05:49] <alex_c> bastid_raZor which driver are you using?
[05:49] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: radeon
[05:49] <alex_c> according to http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/acer-aspire-5517-notebook I have that as well
[05:50] <alex_c> maybe it's the HD driver misreading my chipset?
[05:50] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: from my understanding lspci doesn't care what driver you have but lookks at the hardware.. try sudo lshw   and see what that gives for your card.
[05:52] <x802> how to tell gnome to resize all 4 windows, so it fit nicely on my screen, as 4 regions?
[05:52] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: sudo lshw -C video
[05:53] <Big_Cat> Hello
[05:53] <filistine> i found a website that gives instructions for how to install Firefox 3.5, but when i open a terminal window and type the first instruction, i get "Permission denied" - how can i get around that?
[05:53] <alex_c> bastid_raZor yeah looks like I have the 3200 HD

[05:55] <uman> kahen: ye
[05:55] <uman> s
[05:55] <alex_c> bastid_raZor it offers me fglrx
[05:55] <filistine> nope, putting sudo in front still gives me "permission denied"
[05:55] <codeshah> hey guys, I want to see what user 'litespeed' is running under... since it seems ot have some trouble with writing to directories how do I do this?
[05:55] <alex_c> bastid_raZor last time I tried that, it was really ugly

[05:56] <kahen> uman: tell me about it... i can't make kde4 apps look good in gnome at all. i just gave up and use Exaile or foobar2000 in wine instead
[05:56] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: when you try to enable compiz does it give you errors?
[05:56] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: with the radeonhd driver.
[05:56] <uman> kahen: I've vowed not to use wine. Every time I try to get it to work, there go two hours of my life
[05:57] <alex_c> bastid_raZor yes
[05:57] <filistine> can i use "sudo echo" together?
[05:57] <Flannel> filistine: What are you trying to do?
[05:58] <filistine> i'm trying to install firefox 3.5
[05:58] <Flannel> filistine: You likely want to use tee, but before I recommend that, I want to be sure
[05:58] <Flannel> filistine: Just install the firefox-3.5 package
[05:58] <filistine> there is no installer for 3.5
[05:58] <Flannel> filistine: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[05:58] <filistine> 9.04
[05:59] <Flannel> filistine: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[05:59] <filistine> ok

[05:59] <xrfang> hello, could you please recommend a search tool similar to goolge desktop, but allow any computer in LAN to access the search page?
[06:00] <SnakDoc> whats the biggest difference between debian and ubuntu ?
[06:00] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: possibly ask in #compiz with your errors  .. i have to go. work comes early and i don't get holidays off.
[06:00] <thesimplecreator> snakdoc , debians more stable , ubuntus more up to date
[06:01] <Scunizi> SnakDoc: efghijklmnopqrst
[06:01] <alex_c> aight - thanks
[06:01] <Flannel> SnakDoc: Ubuntu releases every six months.  Ubuntu's design philosophy is it "just works" so most things will be configured how a standard user would want them out of the box instead of how upstream has the default configs
[06:01] <bastid_raZor> alex_c: you can also ask in here too.. put the errors you get out there.. someone may know.

[06:14] <Shoe> how do I install iTunes when I have Ubuntu? And before any of you say anything, I've tried all the alternatives I'm willing to try, and they all suck
[06:14] <DaZ> kzdg: sure
[06:14] <mneptok> !wine > Shoe
[06:15] <credobyte> kzdg: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/backup
[06:15] <kahen> Shoe: wine + itunes doesn't seem to work that well. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347
[06:15] <joewski_> join #ubuntu-au
[06:15] <Shoe> I tried just downloading the XP/vista version with wine, but it only gave me files that exist in XP, like C:/program files
[06:16] <propietario> hola
[06:17] <Shoe> so, the question still remains, how can I get iTunes on my computer. anyone?
[06:18] <clearscreen> Shoe: only viable method is to run it through a virtual machine running windows (that is, if you want to sync your music)..
[06:18] <wekt> Can one do the same advanced operations using the DVD as with the 'alternate' CD?
[06:18] <DaZ> Shoe: vbox
[06:18] <Shoe> whats vbox?
[06:18] <DaZ> virtualbox
[06:18] <kahen> Shoe:  are you using wine's own repository?
[06:18] <Shoe> I have no idea
[06:19] <Shoe> I dont even know what that means
[06:19] <kahen> Shoe: sudo echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade # then try again.
[06:19] <Guest22716> hi
[06:19] <kahen> replace jaunty with whatever you're running
[06:19] <kzdg> credobyte" problem is I don't know how to reach the /home directory via cli or gui using the livecd... I only seem to be able ot get to the one for the live cd.
[06:19] <Guest22716> im  mohammed
[06:19] <Shoe> what? What am I running?
[06:19] <kahen> what version of ubuntu
[06:20] <Shoe> 9.04
[06:20] <Shoe> okay
[06:20] <kahen> yes, that's jaunty
[06:20] <Shoe> just put 9.04?
[06:20] <Shoe> so
[06:20] <Shoe> leave as is?
[06:20] <kahen> yes
[06:20] <kzdg> credobyte: problem is I don't know how to reach the /home directory via cli or gui using the livecd... I only seem to be able ot get to the one for the live cd.
[06:20] <Shoe> put everything up to the # symbol?
[06:20] <byerley> Is there a way to get open office spreadsheets to print without the "sheet 1" at the top?
[06:21] <kahen> yes
[06:21] <Shoe> sudo echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade #
[06:21] <kahen> shoe... in a terminal...
[06:21] <Shoe> sudo echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade #
[06:21] <Shoe> bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list: Permission denied
[06:21] <Shoe> I did, and copied the above with ctrl+c in a terminal, which you cant do
[06:22] <Shoe> so I ended up pasting what I copied earlier
[06:22] <kahen> Shoe: eh... then "sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d" first
[06:22] <Shoe> chase@chase-desktop:~$ sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[06:22] <Shoe> [sudo] password for chase:
[06:22] <Shoe> mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/apt/sources.list.d': File exists
[06:22] <Shoe> chase@chase-desktop:~$
[06:22] <FloodBot2> Shoe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:23] <Tekk> how to I have gcc compile a C program into a plain executable(not a.out)
[06:23] <kahen> Tekk: man gcc tells you "gcc -o hello hello_world.c"
[06:23] <biovore> Tekk: need a -o option
[06:23] <credobyte> Tekk: gcc input.c -o output
[06:23] <Flannel> Shoe, kahen: echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[06:23] <Tekk> thanks, I tried that but it had an issue.
[06:23] <Tekk> wanted to make sure I was right :P
[06:24] <credobyte> Tekk: what issues you had ?
[06:24] <Tekk> says the argument to -o is missing
[06:24] <fez> root@openwrt:~$ alias
[06:24] <fez> less='more'
[06:24] <Tekk> still does btw
[06:24] <credobyte> Tekk: it can't be missing .. "-o output"
[06:24] <Shoe> Flannel,
[06:25] <Shoe> what did you want me to put in the terminal there?
[06:25] <credobyte> Tekk: gcc version ?
[06:25] <nareshpunia> how do i use a partition manager in LUBUNTU
[06:25] <mactimes> Tekk: gcc -o hello hello.c -W -Wall --pedantic
[06:25] <Flannel> Shoe: echo "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt jaunty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[06:25] <Tekk> 4.2.4
[06:25] <Shoe> the whole thing all at once?
[06:25] <legend2440> byerley: yes there is
[06:25] <Shoe> because that did absolutely nothing
[06:25] <Flannel> Shoe: yeah.  That'll add the wine repository to your sources
[06:25] <Flannel> Shoe: In linux, no news is good news
[06:25] <kahen> Shoe: btw, you can paste just fine into gnome-terminal. ctrl+shift+v pastes
[06:26] <nareshpunia> any partition manager in LUBUNTU
[06:26] <nareshpunia> ?
[06:26] <Shoe> it didn't say it did anything, it just gave me the option to type something else
[06:26] <byerley> legend2440: could you enlighten me please? :)
[06:26] <Flannel> nareshpunia: We don't handle Lubuntu, so I don't know what they use.  Try #lubuntu
[06:26] <nareshpunia> same lubuntu
[06:27] <kahen> Shoe: silence = success. that's expected behaviour for unixy commandline programs
[06:27] <Shoe> kahen, I've only done ctrl+ before, so I didn't know about ctrl+shift+, and have just been using rightclick+copypasta
[06:27] <Shoe> okay, now what?
[06:27] <kahen> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:27] <nareshpunia> flannel: Do I need to install a partition manager
[06:27] <kahen> shoe: that should get you the newest version of wine at pretty much all times
[06:28] <kpkudi> my install has stopped at "installing GRUB boot loader" can i do this manually
[06:28] <legend2440> byerley: open file >page preview then right click on page and choose Page Layout choose Header tab and unmark   Header on
[06:28] <Flannel> nareshpunia: If you don't want to modify your partitions, then no, you don't really need one.
[06:28] <byerley> legend2440: ah, thanks much
[06:29] <kahen> Shoe: then try running the itunes installer with wine again after the update. if that doesn't work... well... hope for a newer version of wine to work better with it. or use a virtual machine as someone else suggested
[06:29] <DaZ> itunes doesn't work anyway <:
[06:29] <legend2440> byerley: your welcome
[06:29] <Shoe> kahen, what's a virtual machine?
[06:30] <Tekk> the gcc -o hello hello.c..... thing worked
[06:30] <Tekk> gave me an error but if added the normal exe
[06:30] <Tekk> not exe >.<
[06:30] <Tekk> executable
[06:31] <kahen> !virtualbox | shoe
[06:32] <Shoe> what does it do?
[06:32] <Tekk> oh wait nevermind
[06:32] <Tekk> still not working
[06:32] <mactimes> Tekk: Define "still not working".
[06:32] <kahen> Shoe: if iTunes is that important to you, then Linux probably is not for you.
[06:32] <mactimes> Tekk: What are you doing?
[06:33] <cfedde> Shoe: a virtual machine allows you to run more than one OS on the computer at the same time.  Each in isolated containers.
[06:33] <Shoe> ah
[06:33] <Tekk> I'm just messing around in EMACS mostly
[06:33] <Tekk> I hit compile with the command gcc test.c -o
[06:34] <Shoe> kahen, linux is a god send except for that one nagging detail. Seriously, it's been nothing but awesome. except for when it come to ipods
[06:34] <Tekk> it gives me the error gcc: argument to '-o' is missing
[06:34] <losher> "thing worked" and "gave me an error" are pretty much mutually exclusive when it comes to compiling code ya' know...
[06:34] <mactimes> Tekk: Emacs is not gcc
[06:34] <Tekk> yeah
[06:34] <Tekk> as my compile command
[06:34] <mactimes> Tekk: man emacs
[06:34] <Tekk> I'm using gcc to compile this as the command in emacs
[06:34] <mactimes> Tekk: man gcc
[06:34] <kahen> Tekk: yes. why could that POSSIBLY be?! i mean... it's not like it expects something after "-o"... eh... wait... yes it does
[06:34] <Tekk> oh it does?
[06:34] <kahen> Tekk: seriously. read the error message.
[06:35] <Tekk> mhm
[06:35] <Tekk> after that I tried putting test.c after -o
[06:35] <Tekk> also gave an error
[06:35] <geirha> Tekk: Then you've ruined your .c file
[06:35] <kahen> geirha: nah. i think gcc is smart enough not to overwrite source files with compiled programs
[06:36] <losher> Tekk: trial and error is a really inefficient way of finding out how commands work
[06:36] <mactimes> Tekk: Man, I'm sorry if I'm rude, but STOP BEING STUPID.  People have told you several times what to do.  Don't repeat the mistakes, READ what people write to you before doing the same stupid thing again!
[06:36] <kahen> tekk left btw
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> :0
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> He dident even leave a tip.
[06:37] <kahen> reminded me a bit of users that are stumped by a "printer out of paper" error
[06:37] <geirha> kahen: Nope, just tried. The resulting executable is ./test.c :)
[06:37] <losher> A slow learner with an attitude. No doubt he'll end up programming somewhere...
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> 'but i have plenty of paper on the shelf'
[06:38] <alinux> hi I did change my default keyboard language to arabic..and restarted..now I can not logon since the keyboard is typing in arabic so I can not type my username and pwd...I did try to boot into single user mode but the problem is I can not type in any commands since arabic letters are being displayed...GUI is GNOME
[06:38] <vede> *sigh*
[06:39] <vede> I need help with PulseAudio.
[06:39] <lordnikon> i cannot play dvd's in totem
[06:39] <Gnea> vede: what's the problem?
[06:39] <Gnea> lordnikon: can you play them in vlc?
[06:39] <lordnikon> "cannot read from source"
[06:39] <lordnikon> dont know
[06:39] <Gnea> try it and see
[06:40] <vede> I have a headset, an PulseAudio can hear it, but I can't get PulseAudio to change my headset to the default sink (I assume this is output) or default source.
[06:40] <vede> I tried setting the default sink/source to "other" but I'm not sure what I should put as its name.
[06:40] <Gnea> vede: are the headset phones on a different plug than the normal speakers?
[06:40] <vede> It's a USB headset.
[06:40] <Gnea> ah
[06:40] <Gnea> but they work okay otherwise?
[06:41] <vede> headphone+mic
[06:41] <vede> Yeah, they're functional.
[06:41] <vede> I can go to their settings, and PulseAudio can hear them fine.
[06:41] <Gnea> so you're just trying to redefine the sink name so it makes more sense in the config?
[06:42] <vede> No, I'm trying to make it so the headset is the sink and the source.
[06:42] <vede> So I can use Skype.
[06:42] <lordnikon> gnea: no i cant
[06:42] <vede> Preferably, I'd like to also know how to easily switch from standard speakers to headset.
[06:43] <Gnea> vede: check this out: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=8403c3c8c181e55e5c1cb27c694dcae3&showtopic=411431&st=40&start=40
[06:43] <Gnea> lordnikon: okay, then you probably need to upgrade the libdvdread library. do you have a /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh file?
[06:44] <mikubuntu> anybody running a dell inspiron 1501 by any chance?  looking all over google for how to get to boot sequence to no avail ...
[06:44] <Gnea> mikubuntu: F12?
[06:45] <mikubuntu> i get into some windows boot manager but it doesn't seem to have a boot sequence option ,,, just asks to select os
[06:45] <Gnea> mikubuntu: mmm, F12 should be done before the boot manager appears (like when the Dell screen is on)
[06:45] <lordnikon> gnea: yes
[06:45] <Gnea> lordnikon: okay, run that:  sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[06:46] <Gnea> lordnikon: after it does its thing, restart vlc or totem and try again
[06:46] <vede> Is it possible to not have to use PulseAudio?
[06:46] <mikubuntu> gnea, ok, trying something brb prolly
[06:46] <vede> It seems like unnecessary hassle to me...
[06:46] <Gnea> vede: you could stop pulseaudio and make sure to tell everything on the system to use alsa
[06:47] <lordnikon> gnea: still no dice
[06:47] <vede> I don't know how to do that, or what it means.
[06:47] <Gnea> lordnikon: with both? you made sure you explicitly closed both programs before trying either?
[06:47] <lordnikon> yes
[06:47] <Gnea> lordnikon: can you mount the dvds?
[06:47] <vede> Does PulseAudio rely on GNOME?
[06:47] <lordnikon> yes
[06:47] <vede> I'm using xfce...
[06:48] <Gnea> vede: no, it just needs a working alsa subsystem
[06:48] <vede> How can I tell if I have that?
[06:48] <Gnea> vede: cat /proc/asound/cards
[06:48] <Gnea> vede: if there's something there, you're using alsa
[06:48] <vede> Yeah, there's stuff there.
[06:48] <lordnikon> gnea: yes it mounts just fine
[06:49] <Gnea> vede: not sure if you understand how it works...   alsa is the main sound driver, and pulseaudio is just an application layer that goes between the sound device that alsa sets up and the other applications on the system
[06:49] <vede> I assume I'm just getting the name wrong when I try to specify to PulseAudio what to use instead of the default...
[06:49] <Gnea> lordnikon: and you can browse the files just fine?
[06:49] <lordnikon> gnea:yep
[06:49] <Gnea> vede: hmm, I think you can change that i pavucontrol - have you tried that?
[06:50] <vede> I can't use pavucontrol...
[06:50] <Gnea> lordnikon: very odd...
[06:50] <Gnea> vede: why not?
[06:50] <vede> ERROR:pavucontrol.cc:574:void StreamWidget::setVolume(const pa_cvolume&, bool): assertion failed: (v.channels == channelMap.channels)
[06:50] <vede> Aborted
[06:50] <lordnikon> gnea:  it says cannot read from source
[06:50] <Gnea> !pm | user_
[06:51] <vede> I don't even know what pavucontrol is...
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> !invo pavucontrol
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> !info pavucontrol
[06:51] <Gnea> vede: it's a GUI that allows you to control pulseaudio
[06:51] <vede> Hrm...
[06:51] <Gnea> you can change the different output sinks and such there
[06:51] <Gnea> just click on it and it does it
[06:52] <vede> I can do that with PulseAudio, too, though.
[06:52] <vede> But PulseAudio asks for a name.
[06:52] <vede> And I have no idea how to get the name.
[06:52] <Gnea> vede: is that  GUI?
[06:52] <vede> Yeah...
[06:52] <Gnea> then it's probably pavucontrol...
[06:52] <vede> PulseAudio Applet.
[06:52] <Gnea> ah
[06:52] <Gnea> not familiar with that one
[06:52] <vede> Ugh.
[06:53] <Gnea> vede: are you running Xubuntu, by chance?
[06:53] <vede> No.
[06:53] <Gnea> so just ubuntu with xfce then
[06:53] <vede> But I AM using xfce instead of GNOME.
[06:53] <vede> Yeah/
[06:53] <Gnea> ok cool
[06:53] <ayathehusker> hey this is a noobish question i know but, does the ubuntu install cd have a way to fix grub on it, gonna install win7 over my vista tomorrow and just wanna make sure i dont need to take any other steps. I thought i could just pop the cd in after installation to fix the MBR so i have grub again.
[06:53] <Gnea> vede: what's the output of the 'id' command?
[06:53] <Flannel> ayathehusker: Yeah,
[06:54] <ayathehusker> kk cool
[06:54] <Flannel> !grub | ayathehusker
[06:54] <vede> uid=1000(vede) gid=1000(vede) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),106(lpadmin),121(admin),122(sambashare),1000(vede)
[06:54] <Gnea> ayathehusker: yes
[06:54] <Flannel> ayathehusker: the first link walks you through it
[06:54] <lordnikon> gnea: where are the w32 docecs?\
[06:54] <ayathehusker> k cool
[06:54] <Gnea> vede: okay - the problem is that you aren't part of the pulseaudio groups
[06:54] <Darkebrz> Ah
[06:54] <Gnea> vede: are you familiar with vigr?
[06:54] <vede> No.
[06:54] <Darkebrz> I just installed Ubuntu, how would I get it so my sound is working?
[06:54] <ayathehusker> yah i have most of my hds partitioned for linux thus all my data is here, thanks for the quick help didnt wanna lose my jaunty (love it!)
[06:54] <vede> (I just installed Ubuntu yesterday.)
[06:54] <Gnea> !w32codecs | lordnikon
[06:55] <credobyte> !fat16
[06:55] <Gnea> vede: ah ok - it's a commandline application that allows you to edit your group settings manually
[06:55] <vede> So how can I put myself into the PulseAudio group?
[06:56] <Gnea> vede: it's a careful process, so you have to make sure you do it right, otherwise you could screw the system up - do you feel confident in following my instructions to the exact letter?
[06:56] <vede>  >.> Yes?
[06:56] <Gnea> vede: okay, in a terminal type this:  sudo vigr
[06:57] <Darkebrz> Could anyone help me with getting sound working?
[06:57] <vede> Alright.
[06:57] <vede> I have a list of things.
[06:57] <Gnea> vede: you can use the arrow keys to scroll through the file - there should be some places where you'll see your username
[06:57] <mikubuntu> gnea, fyi, we got booted
[06:57] <vede> Yep.
[06:57] <Gnea> mikubuntu: good
[06:57] <drunkncrew> can someone tell me how I can make AMAROK the default music player in gnome?
[06:58] <Gnea> vede: alright, if you scroll down, there should be 3 entries: pulse, pulse-access and pulse-rt
[06:58] <vede> Found them.
[06:59] <Gnea> vede: ok, if you are on the pulse line and press the 'end' key, it should jump to the end of the line
[06:59] <arcorion> drunkncrew System->Preferences->Preferred Apps
[06:59] <vede> Mmhmm.
[07:00] <arcorion> Multimedia and chose your multimedia player.  Doesn't seem to be just audio specific, though.
[07:00] <Gnea> vede: now, press the 'a' key to enter "insert/append mode" (this will allow you to make changes - this is the part where you need to be careful!) then type in your username (vede, I"m guessing)
[07:00] <vede> Uh...
[07:01] <vede> I'm guessing pressing enter after typing "vede" wasn't the right thing to do?
[07:01] <Gnea> vede: so it should look a bit like this:  pulse:x:123:vede
[07:01] <Gnea> vede: correct, backspace once should fix it
[07:01] <vede> pulse:x:114:vede
[07:01] <vede> pulse-access:x:115:
[07:01] <Gnea> alright
[07:01] <vede> But...
[07:02] <vede> There's three blank lines between them.
[07:02] <Gnea> vede: press ESC
[07:02] <vede> :/
[07:02] <drunkncrew> arcorian - thanks for the help
[07:02] <vede> Doesn't do anything.
[07:02] <arcorion> No prob.
[07:02] <Gnea> vede: move the cursor so it's on the first blank line
[07:02] <Gnea> vede: it does - trust me :)
[07:03] <vede> Alright, cursor on the first blank line, and I pressed ESC
[07:03] <Gnea> vede: okay, now press the 'd' key twice and ONLY twice. does that delete the blank line?
[07:03] <vede> No.
[07:03] <Gnea> vede: what does it do?
[07:03] <vede> Wait!
[07:03] <vede> It deleted one!
[07:03] <Gnea> good.
[07:03] <vede> I pressed D twice and one line went away.
[07:04] <Gnea> vede: make sure it's lowercase d
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> Vi basics day! :)?
[07:04] <Gnea> Dr_Willis: bingo ;)
[07:04] <vede> Okay...
[07:04] <vede> I know have pulse <blankline> pulse-access
[07:04] <vede> If I want to delete the blank line, the cursor should be ON it, correct?
[07:04] <numb3rs1x> I can't seem to get my wireless connection to work on this laptop. I can see my SSID and I've entered the WEP key with the KDE network manager, but when I try to switch to it with the kwifimanager, it won't let me switch to it. it's greyed out.
[07:04] <Gnea> vede: okay, now do 'd' 'd' again to delete the other blank line
[07:04] <Gnea> vede: correct.
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> I found a console/cli editor that was a clone of theold dos editor  but cant recall its name. :)
[07:05] <kahen> woooah. installed pavucontrol to see how individual volume control per process works (it's pretty sweet actually). but... 100MB memory usage?! for a volume control?!!
[07:05] <vede> Whew, okay.
[07:05] <vede> Now it looks like it was originally.
[07:05] <Darkebrz> Where do I find the C:/ Drive while in Ubuntu?
[07:05] <vede> Should I add myself to pulse-access pulse-rt as well?
[07:05] <Gnea> vede: excellent! now, onto the pulse-access line - press the 'end' key to jump to the end again, and press 'a' to enter the input mode, type 'vede' and press ESC
[07:05] <maco> Darkebrz: its not called that in Ubuntu. its just /
[07:06] <maco> Darkebrz: also i think you mean C:\ not C:/
[07:06] <Darkebrz> Yeah :P
[07:06] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, do you mean a seperate Windows partition, or are you just looking for Ubuntu's main drive?
[07:06] <Darkebrz> Im looking for My Documents folder
[07:06] <vede> pulse:x:114:vede
[07:06] <vede> pulse-access:x:115:vede
[07:06] <vede> pulse-rt:x:116:vede
[07:07] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, look under the Places menu, top left of your Ubuntu desktop. One of the automounted partitions should be your Windows partition
[07:07] <Gnea> vede: very good. now, press ESC... then type  :w  and press enter
[07:07] <vede> Uh...
[07:07] <Gnea> vede: ?
[07:07] <vede> Okay.
[07:08] <Gnea> vede: :w  writes the file.
[07:08] <vede> I pressed ESC, did :w and then pressed enter.
[07:08] <vede> Everything seems fine.
[07:08] <hitman32> Hi guys
[07:08] <Gnea> vede: okay, now type  :q  and press enter
[07:08] <Gnea> vede: :q  quits
[07:08] <vede> Now I'm back at the terminal/
[07:09] <vede> .
[07:09] <Gnea> vede: now, type the following:  id vede  and enter
[07:09] <hitman32> I install ubuntu now.. and I need code in terminal to update my OS like jave and flash
[07:09] <vede> uid=1000(vede) gid=1000(vede) groups=1000(vede),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),106(lpadmin),114(pulse),115(pulse-access),116(pulse-rt),121(admin),122(sambashare)
[07:09] <Madpilot> Gnea, not sure what you're walking vede thru, but nano might be an easier choice of text editor for next time :)
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> I like 'mcedit'
[07:09] <legend2440> Gnea: sorry to interrupt but would   gksudo gedit /etc/group   work to edit that file?
[07:09] <hitman32> any one???!!!!
[07:10] <Gnea> Madpilot, legend2440: vigr is the secure way of doing it. any other method could easily jeapordize the system.
[07:10] <vede> hitman32: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:10] <Madpilot> Gnea, fair enough. I missed the first part, wasn't sure which config file you were getting him to do surgery on.
[07:10] <Darkebrz> Ugh, I just can't find me C:\ drive
[07:10] <hitman32> yes thankx
[07:11] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, it won't be called C
[07:11] <Explodus__> I'm having a problem with my wifi - It has been working fine with a 40bit WEP key RT2870 Wireless is the card. Now it cycles and after a minute or two it will prompt for the key again. I've tried all 4 keys and selected the appropriate slot. it doesn't appear to connect to any encrypted AP. I tried from command line to manually set info via iwconfig but the dhclient always times out (i've noticed i have to change the mode from auto to
[07:11] <Explodus__> ad-hoc to make the changes then change the mode to managed to connect otherwise the settings wont stick) Any ideas?
[07:11] <Gnea> Madpilot: no problem. he is having problems with pulseaudio so needed to make sure he's in the groups
[07:11] <Darkebrz> What will it be called?
[07:11] <Gnea> vede: now you just need to logout and login of XFCE
[07:11] <jaffa_> server abjects
[07:11] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, it should be one of the 'media' partitions in the middle section of the Places menu
[07:11] <vede> Darkebrz, are you after C:\ on a Windows partition, or your Ubuntu home directory?
[07:12] <numb3rs1x> can anyone help me get my wireless working?
[07:12] <Gnea> vede: er, to XFCE
[07:12] <Darkebrz> Probably C:\ On Windows
[07:12] <vede> Okay, logging out/in now.
[07:12] <Gnea> !wireless | numb3rs1x (please follow this guide - if you have any problems with it, please let us know what they are)
[07:12] <xkr47> Has anybody thought of testing ck's BFS scheduler on ubuntu ?
[07:13] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, separate partitions will for sure be under Places - what do you see when you open that Places menu?
[07:13] <Quiznos> where is consolefonts/ dir on ubuntu?
[07:13] <Gnea> Quiznos: type this:  locate consolefonts
[07:13] <Quiznos> where is kbd/consolefonts/ dir on ubuntu?
[07:14] <Quiznos> it's not my sys; helping guest
[07:14] <Gnea> Quiznos: tell your guest to type:  locate consolefonts
[07:14] <Quiznos> k
[07:14] <Darkebrz> Home Folder, Desktop, Music, Pictures, etc. Then Computer, a CD I have in and a 7.5 GB Media (no idea what this is). Then its just some network stuff and search
[07:15] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, the 7.5 GB Media is probably your windows partition
[07:15] <vede> Alright, um...
[07:15] <vede> There's something majorly wrong here.
[07:15] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, does that look like the right size for your Windows partition?
[07:15] <Gnea> vede: what's that?
[07:15] <Darkebrz> 7.5GB?
[07:15] <vede> I don't have top or bottom taskbars anymore.
[07:15] <Gnea> ?!
[07:15] <bazhang> !panels > vede
[07:15] <Darkebrz> It is definitely not my Windows partition
[07:15] <Gnea> bazhang: he's in XFCE
[07:16] <Darkebrz> Er
[07:16] <Darkebrz> Wait
[07:16] <Darkebrz> It has to be...
[07:16] <Darkebrz> But if it is, then it is REALLY lacking
[07:16] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, Ubuntu will auto-mount any partition it finds, so it should be your Windows part
[07:16] <Gnea> vede: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1769745
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> or a recovery partition.
[07:17] <Gnea> vede: alt-f2 should allow you to run firefox
[07:18] <vede> YAY
[07:18] <vede> I have taskbars again.
[07:18] <vede> (I can just click on the link...)
[07:18] <Darkebrz> Then where are all my folders? The only thing that lends itself to being my Windows partition are a few files
[07:18] <BeWop> Hello, I'm having issues with my wireless card. As it does say the driver was installed, and the card is online, it doesn't detect any wireless networks. Any known fixes to this?

[07:19] <Gnea> vede: cool. I have to go in a sec, is pavucontrol working?
[07:19] <maco> Darkebrz: whats the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? can you put it on paste.ubuntu.com ?
[07:19] <vede> ERROR:pavucontrol.cc:574:void StreamWidget::setVolume(const pa_cvolume&, bool): assertion failed: (v.channels == channelMap.channels)
[07:19] <vede> Aborted
[07:19] <kahen> speaking of pavucontrol - take a look at this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474743
[07:20] <kahen> pavucontrol is _seriously_ not ready for mass usage as far as i can tell
[07:20] <Darkebrz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/266488/
[07:20] <Gnea> vede: hmmm... check /etc/pulse/daemon.conf for default-sample-channels
[07:20] <Gnea> kahen: that's a redhat but, not an ubuntu bug
[07:21] <Madpilot> kahen, that'd be why it's still in Universe, I assume
[07:21] <numb3rs1x> ubottu: I've been through the manual. I've got my SSID configured and the correct WEP key in place.
[07:22] <vede> default-sample-channels=2
[07:22] <Gnea> vede: is that commented?
[07:22] <kahen> Gnea: i can confirm that bug is on ubuntu as well. just run pavucontrol and open up top while you play something. PA uses a ton more cpu
[07:22] <vede> I don't think so.
[07:22] <Darkebrz> maco: Does that help?
[07:22] <Gnea> kahen: has there been a bug filed for it?
[07:22] <vede> Wait, yes, it has a semi-colon in front of it.
[07:23] <Gnea> okay, then yes, it's commented out
[07:23] <vede> Everything is commented out except default-fragments=8 and default-fragment-size-msec=10
[07:23] <maco> Darkebrz: /dev/sda2 is your windows
[07:23] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, that's the only output from the command? Odd. That's only showing one big partition and what looks like a recovery partition
[07:24] <maco> Darkebrz: is ubuntu not installed? or is it a wubi install?
[07:24] <Darkebrz> Oh, its a wubi install
[07:24] <Gnea> vede: looks like someone else had the same problem a couple days ago, you should post a reply with your error as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7895300
[07:24] <Darkebrz> That may have been important?
[07:24] <qdb> hello. <qdb> grep '"http://[^(domain.com/)]' /var/log/apache2/domaincom.log | php ./urldecode.php<qdb> outputs ? in place of decoded letters<qdb> the php script is <?php echo(urldecode(file_get_contents('php://stdin')));?><qdb> thouh echo ("ә"); in same php script works
[07:24] <maco> Darkebrz: try "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt"
[07:25] <Madpilot> Darkebrz, wubi evidently does things differently from a regular install. never used it myself...
[07:25] <maco> Darkebrz: that should give you access to it in /mnt
[07:25] <Gnea> vede: you'll reach a broader audience that way and have a more likely chance of getting it fixed right.... hmmm, i changed my default-fragment-size-msec = 5  didn't have that problem but it solved another problem... try it and see if it changes anything
[07:25] <vede> Oh hey, I have that problem with volume control as well.
[07:25] <maco> Madpilot: it means theres not ext2/3/4 partition, just the ntfs one so the wubi lives inside sda2
[07:26] <Madpilot> maco, interesting.
[07:26] <Gnea> vede: also, ask in #pulseaudio - they're a little slow to respond sometimes, but they are EXTREMELY knowledgable with it
[07:26] <Darkebrz> I tried sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt once, and it didnt have any return, the second time
[07:26] <Darkebrz> fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[07:26] <Gnea> vede: I've worked with them before, they are like, the masters of the universe when it comes to all things for pulseaudio
[07:27] <RichiV> how do i make the geust account with no password? so that at login screen theres no password
[07:27] <KurtKraut> On my Jaunty install, no mather if numlock is on or off, numpad doesn't work. Except on gdm on typing passwords. Any clue how can I fix that
[07:27] <KurtKraut> ?
[07:27] <Gnea> RichiV: impossible, there must be a password. just set it to something easy, like 'guest' or 'password'
[07:28] <RichiV> Gnea: alright thanks
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: you can enable autologin
[07:28] <kahen> Gnea: just gotta love how that bugzilla entry i linked was marked as "NOTABUG" despite pavucontrol causing PA to crash... yeah... that's not a bug alright.
[07:28] <PrakharPrasadd> FUCK
[07:28] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: I'd rather not dude cause id rather have it easy to login i geuss
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> !ohmy | PrakharPrasadd
[07:28] <Gnea> !language | PrakharPrasadd
[07:29] <Darkebrz> Ugh, Im so confused D:
[07:29] <vede> Heh.
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: then make a new acount and have autologin use that, that will enable what you described
[07:29] <PrakharPrasadd> Ok
[07:29] <Darkebrz> Everything on my "Windows partition" suddenly disappeared
[07:29] <PrakharPrasadd> Sorry
[07:29] <maco> Darkebrz: whats the output of plain old "mount"? does it list /dev/sda2 as already mounted on /mnt?
[07:30] <maco> Darkebrz: if so you should be able to "ls /mnt" and see your windows disk
[07:30] <Gnea> PrakharPrasadd: please do not PM me. ask your question here.
[07:30] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: im sorry i worded it wrong... i want it easy for anyone to log in easy to geust... i geuss i will just put a postit making geust account pw -> password... thanks.. i wanted to just verify
[07:30] <Darkebrz> fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[07:30] <tone_red> What standard tool has ubuntu got that does the same as chkconfig on fedora type systems?
[07:30] <Darkebrz> Oops
[07:30] <Darkebrz> /dev/sda2 on /mnt type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[07:30] <Gnea> vede: alright, I'm out. good luck with that.
[07:30] <maco> Darkebrz: ok so its already mounted
[07:31] <Darkebrz> Well, ls /mnt sure looks like it
[07:31] <maco> Darkebrz: now if you "ls /mnt" you should see the same thing as youd see with "dir C:\" on windows
[07:31] <vede> Alright. Thanks for the help. Prolly the most help I've vever gotten on this channel.
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: oh i see, makes sense. for security i'd use a different guest account name than "guest"
[07:31] <Darkebrz> maco: Yep
[07:31] <PrakharPrasadd> what are the FileSystems Fedora Supports
[07:31] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: Why is that?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: remember NOT to add it to the admin group
[07:31] <baltadt> got a question for you all about the launchpad COD
[07:31] <maco> PrakharPrasadd: ask in #fedora ?
[07:31] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: dont woory i made it long ago when i was actually good at ubuntu
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> PrakharPrasadd:  proberly the same as any other linux disrtos...
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: "guest" is massively common and one of the first accounts to get attacked, if you use ssh you will have halved the attackers work by providing a known username
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> PrakharPrasadd: fedora is linux so it the same OS
[07:32] <baltadt>  got a question for you all about the launchpad COD
[07:32] <RichiV> ActionParsnip: Thanx for the tipoff, but i have nothing important really... only gov't documents which are higly classified.. ive said to much ;)
[07:32] <Madpilot> PrakharPrasadd, pretty sure Fedora has a channel on Freenode - try #fedora...
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> RichiV: tinfoil hat on nice an tight :D
[07:33] <baltadt> anyone know about the launchpad COD
[07:34] <bucky> tone_red, man update-rc.d
[07:34] <Madpilot> baltadt, might want to try #launchpad
[07:34] <baltadt> ty
[07:34] <tone_red> ta
[07:34] <Darkebrz> maco: Now how can I make it so I can look through that partition? I intended to add some files to Audacious
[07:35] <bucky> tone_red, or sudo apt-get install chkconfig
[07:35] <maco> Darkebrz: um you can copy some files into wubi or you can ...hrm i guess you could setup /etc/fstab to automatically mount /dev/sda2 in a certain spot and tell audacious how to find those files for its library every time you boot
[07:36] <Newbie__> i downloaded files from rapidshare, now i want to extract them. is there a way i can extract and combine the files in jaunty?
[07:36] <Darkebrz> maco: Do you know why this partition is so hidden?
[07:37] <maco> Darkebrz: its not...
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Newbie__: what sort of files? tar.gz, rar, zip
[07:37] <maco> Darkebrz: showed up in fdisk just fine
[07:37] <jasa> Hey, what is the program that did shorting of names inside a text file ?
[07:37] <Newbie__> .rar
[07:37] <Darkebrz> Hm
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Newbie__: sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Newbie__: then you can run: rar x <file>    or fileroller will allow you to do it in gui

[07:39] <olvap> :limits 10,5?
[07:39] <Darkebrz> Yes, that is exactly it
[07:39] <Darkebrz> Thanks
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> jasa: how do you mean "shortening of names"?
[07:39] <PrakharPrasadd> MotherFucker
[07:39] <maco> Darkebrz: O_O i still remembered it?
[07:39] <maco> !language | PrakharPrasadd
[07:39] <jasa> ActionParsnip, like i have text file with first line of "b" and then the second line is "a" so how i make them in order.
[07:39] <Darkebrz> I think you did
[07:39] <Arc_Orion> You mean you want to alphabetize the lines?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> jasa: oh you want the fiile alphabetically sorted.
[07:40] <jasa> Yes
[07:40] <maco> PrakharPrasadd: you've been warned two or three times now
[07:40] <Newbie__> i have installed but dnt knw how to go about it
[07:40] <Madpilot> PrakharPrasadd, no more warnings. Swear again and you're out of here for 48hrs. Clear?
[07:40] <drygrain> hey guys, i have a question... how do i make Firestarter start as soon as i log in?
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> jasa: sort
[07:41] <drygrain> isnt there a file i edit
[07:41] <PrakharPrasadd> Very Very Sorry Very Very Sorry
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: you dont need to, its a config gui for iptables, it doesnt have to run all the time
[07:41] <jasa> Yes seems so ... memory fault of user, tried actually short. -.-
[07:41] <drygrain> no its a firewall
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> jasa: sort -r    reverses the order
[07:41] <|pisecx|> Hi. Can you, please, give me a link for documentation "How to connect ubuntu to windows active directory" ?
 i have done the sudo part but dont know how to go about extracting
[07:41] <PrakharPrasadd> STFU
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: no, its the config too only
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> Newbie__: rar x <file>
[07:41] <legend2440> Newbie__: right click the rar file and choose Extract Here
[07:42] <drygrain> well i want it to run at startup
[07:42] <drygrain> in the system tray
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: ok thats fine, jst so you know
[07:42] <drygrain> what do i do?
[07:42] <devon> i guess no one knows the answer
[07:42] <drygrain> it seems to me that its managing an active firewall right now
[07:42] <Newbie__> ok
[07:42] <streblo> if i write some of my own binaries, where in the filesystem should i put them?
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: add a new startup item that launches it, if it won't tray then install alltray then change your startup item to read   alltray firestarter
[07:43] <maco> streblo: /usr/local/bin? i usually add $HOME/local/bin to my $PATH and put them there
[07:43] <drygrain> how do i add a new startup item
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> streblo: /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
[07:43] <streblo> thanks ActionParsnip and maco
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: system -> prefs   or system -> admin
[07:43] <Madpilot> streblo, $HOME/bin works too - whatever you add to your $PATH, basically
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> streblo: if you run:  echo $PATH
[07:44] <Flannel> maco, streblo: ~/bin will be automatically added to your path if it exists
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> streblo: you can put it in any of those folders and it will be universally available, you can also add and remove from that list
[07:44] <maco> Flannel: COOL!
[07:44] <IsabellaIsaguirr> guys anyone experiencing fan speed problems with acer 5315 ? (overheating)
[07:45] <streblo> i knew that anything in my path would work. i guess what i was wondering what the preferred place to put them was.
[07:45]  * Growlithe is away: Buh-bye, be back soons!
[07:45] <Zachk18> got a firebird question...anybody here know or use firebird?
[07:45] <maco> Flannel: oh wait...but...boo...then that means id have a ~/lib and ~/share and blah blah....i like the ~/local/bin method better. more tidy.
[07:45] <Flannel> streblo: For your own personal use, ~/bin, for everyone on your computer, /usr/local/* is the realm you put stuff
[07:45] <streblo> ok, thanks Flannel
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: wow thats a blast from the past
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: is it still available?
[07:45] <Zachk18> what do you mean?
[07:45] <maco> drygrain: system -> preferences -> session
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: firebird as in the browser by mozilla?
[07:46] <maco> Zachk18: firebird is the old name for firefox, right?
[07:46] <maco> Zachk18: like version 0.5?

[07:47] <Flannel> SkyNetMaster: You're probably looking for #ubuntu-motu
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: the latest version is dated 2003. I wouldnt bother with it and install firefox-3.0 or 3.5
[07:47] <lowlycoder> ubottu, rockbox
[07:47] <Zachk18> firebird is a dbms software
[07:48] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: Firebird is http://www.firebirdsql.org/  (the reason Firefox isn't called Firebird anymore)
[07:48] <maco> Zachk18: namespace collisions!
[07:48] <SkyNetMaster> Flannel, thank you I will try it :)
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: i see
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> looks like we upset him/her
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> oh well
[07:49] <drygrain> :D\
[07:49] <drygrain> ok parsnip
[07:49] <drygrain> u say firestarter isnt a firewall, but rather a firewall config tool?
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> drygrain:  you got it
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: yes, you dont need to have it running all the time. The only thing you gain is you will see when it blocks an "attack"
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: iptables was running from the first reboot after install
[07:50] <the_dark_warrio> How do I print only odd pages on evince, for example?
[07:50] <drygrain> so how do i protect my computer?
[07:51] <drygrain> oh i se
[07:51] <drygrain> e
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: you have a great many services running to make your system run, they dont all have systray icons
[07:51] <Zachk18> ok...i'm back
[07:51] <drygrain> ah ok :)
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> drygrain: thats why i told you what i told you. there is method in my madness ;)
[07:51] <drygrain> well i like having control of them
[07:51] <gareim_> does anyone know how i can get two apps to have sound at the same time? right now, i have to close amarok before watching youtube videos
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> Theres secure.. then theres paranoid. :)  Then theres making things worse by trying security gimmics...
[07:51] <Zachk18> so firebird...can't get it to work on ubuntu...any ideas?
[07:51] <Zachk18> apache2 and php5 i can get to work...but not firebird
[07:52] <streblo> i want to run something like wmii (http://wmii.suckless.org/) as my window manager, is there an easy way to do that?
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: let me see
[07:52] <streblo> Zachk18, more info?
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> !info firebird2-super-server
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> streblo:  install the window manager.. create a  proper  .desktop file to allow you to select it from GD session menu M.. and login using that session
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> !info firebird
[07:53] <dumont> i need help figuring out how to setup iptables to block all traffic to and from a certain IP, how do I do that? I looked at the ubuntu howto examle and its too confusing
[07:53] <Zachk18> well what kind of info do you want? firebird when loaded via terminal is "supposed" to automatically install and ask what kind of server youwant..
[07:53] <Madpilot> !find firebird
[07:53] <Madpilot> ActionParsnip, ^
[07:53] <streblo> Dr_Willis, can i set it to use wmii for all users?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> !info firebird2.0-classic
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> streblo:  gdm allows users to select what window manager to use.
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> Madpilot: good skills duder
[07:53] <drygrain> dumont, try installing Firestarter :)
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> streblo:  so making a Whatever.desktop file for it in  /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> that dir is the easiest way
[07:53] <the_dark_warrio> found it
[07:54] <Madpilot> ActionParsnip, it's all about knowing how to poke the bot :)
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Madpilot: ive only been up an hour with no coffee yet :(
[07:54] <streblo> thanks Dr_Willis
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Madpilot: just wanna get my VMs all up and i'm there
[07:54] <dumont> drygrain, i'm doing this via command line only
[07:54] <streblo> !info wmii
[07:54] <gareim_> anyone?? no one has/had the same problem as me? its frustrating having to close one program before i get sound in another
[07:54] <awaad> I want a good programme to record my desktop as a video
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firebird2.0-classic
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> streblo:  many of the windos managers in the repos add a proper /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop file.. some dont. sadly
[07:54] <Zachk18> but it doesn't...it will not show up in the system processes even when i run dpkg -configure to start auto
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> !info recordmydesktop | awaad
[07:54] <drygrain> dumont, sudo apt-get install firestarter
[07:55] <drygrain> ?
[07:55] <dumont> isn't firestarted a gui app?
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: is there an entry in /etc/init.d ?
[07:55] <streblo> Dr_Willis, does it work the same way for debian?
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> streblo:  yes.. and most linux disrtos
[07:55] <streblo> thanks again
[07:55] <drygrain> i think you can run it in console?
[07:55] <Zachk18> ah...what kind of entry?
[07:55] <billybigrigger> what is the name of the app that launches gnome's appearance properties?
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> gareim_:  see if it affexts all programs.. or just 'flash'  -  Flash can be a real... annoyance. it dosent play nicely at times.
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: sudo /etc/init.d/firebirdsql start   or something (try tab completing the firebird bit, see what you get)
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: you can always use bum to add the binary to the startup
[07:56] <dumont> drygrain, ok installed it now what?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> !iptables | dumont
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  i ofte drag an icon from the menus to the panel/desktop then right click on it check its properties.. to see what its launching.
[07:57] <vede> Crap the AI in the games that come with Ubuntu is smart.
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  command: --> gnome-appearance-properties %F
[07:57] <billybigrigger> Dr_Willis, i don't have it in my menu
[07:57] <awaad> ubottu: I installed it, how can I open it now ?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.1
[07:57] <Zachk18> it couldn't find /etc/init.d/firebirdsql...
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  seems to be gnome-appearance-properties :)
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: you can get 2.1 instead of 2.0
[07:57] <Arc_Orion> dumont try - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Blocking Traffic
[07:57] <Zachk18> and i've been to that site...didn't get ANYWHERE
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: i see
[07:57] <awaad> ubottu: How can I open recordmydesktop ?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: the ppa is down
[07:58] <Zachk18> what is the ppa?
[07:58] <gareim_> Dr_Willis: thanks for the reply, but unfortunately, when vlc is playing a vid, and i open amarok, it says that HDA Intel something something doesnt work
[07:58] <Zachk18> ActionParsnip: so......
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> gareim_:  be sure all apps are set to use 'pulse' audio may help also.  some may default to alsa instead of pulse..
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> gareim_:  or try setting them all to use alsa..
[07:59] <awaad> Is there any gui program to record my desktop video in ubuntu 9.04 ?
[07:59] <Arc_Orion> Err... better link.
[07:59] <Arc_Orion> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Blocking%20Traffic
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: use: http://ppa-search.appspot.com/   to search for firebird, see what PPAs turn up
[07:59] <Zachk18> ok...
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> awaad:  some one just mentioned 'recordmydesktop' it has a gui front end.. check  your package manager
[07:59] <popey> awaad: have you installed it?
[07:59] <Zachk18> http://ppa-search.appspot.com/search?search_key_word=firebird
[08:00] <gareim_> Dr_Willis: I've already tried all Pulse like they said on the forums, and it didnt work. I'll try the Alsa one now, but do i choose Digital or Analog (theres two options for Alsa)
[08:00] <dumont> screw firestarter, i didn't want a firewall, with a possibility that it would block traffic to my server since i don't want to get intimitate with the program, I just wanted to simply add a rule to the iptables to block a certain IP
[08:00] <awaad> Dr_willis, popey: Yes I installed recordmydesktop but I don't know how to open it's gui I can't find it in the applications menu
[08:00] <legend2440> awaad: yes   gtk-recordmydesktop  is gui frontend for recordmydesktop
[08:00] <gareim_> Dr_Willis: I see another option now, which is just 'ALSA'. Do I choose that one?
[08:00] <Zachk18> dumont...firestarter is not a firewall...it's simply a firewall manager
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> gareim_:  twiddle with them  and see..  I havent had any sound issues in ages.
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: ok then use that link to browse through each ppa to see what packages they hold
[08:01] <gareim_> Dr_Willis: Ok, will do. I'll let you know in a bit
[08:02] <Zachk18> ah...what exactly am i looking for?
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: some of the links may have multiple PPAs which you will need to inspect, when you find a PPA you can add it to /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: firestarter wasnt it?
[08:02] <Zachk18> ah....yeah
[08:02] <popey> awaad: you can actually run recordmydesktop from the command line, its quite flexible that way... I wrote a couple of blog posts about it recently. see http://popey.com/blog/
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: so try find mentions of firebird in those PPAs
[08:03] <legend2440> awaad:   gtk-recordmydesktop  is gui frontend for recordmydesktop
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: for example, click the bhavi ppa (first result in the ppa search)
[08:04] <AnxiousNut> i have a problem, my pidgin im lost its sounds
[08:04] <Arc_Orion> Firestarter's a GUI interface anyway.
[08:04] <phix> AnxiousNut: that is good :)
[08:04] <Arc_Orion> dumont, did you check the wiki? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[08:04] <phix> AnxiousNut: the sound annoys me
[08:04] <legend2440> popey: wow very nice blog
[08:04] <popey> legend2440: thanks
[08:05] <rsv> i have recently bought a 500G USB harddisk for back up. i run a dual boot windows xp and linux. which format i should choose for formatting ntfs or vfat?
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: scroll down a little and you will see Personal Packagd archives. the dude has 5 in this case, you will need to click on those, read the contents then if its not there, chack the next one. Do the same for all the results of the ppa search
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> rsv: ntfs
[08:05] <AnxiousNut> phix: i use multiple workspaces i need it to notifies me + you can shut it down, in the tools menu last option
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> rsv: vfat is not robust enough
[08:07] <gareim_> Dr_Willis: Alsa Digital, Alsa Analog, and ALSA don't work. Amarok doesn't have sound when I've got VLC open with a vid
[08:07] <rsv> sp ntfs is the most robust partition format to choose for dual boot systems
[08:07] <rsv> so ntfs is the most robust partition format to choose for dual boot systems?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> rsv: its the most robust that windows can handle
[08:07] <rsv> okay
[08:07] <Arc_Orion> rsv, how large are the combined partitions you're backing up?
[08:08] <rsv> should i partition my usb backup harddisk into 2?
[08:08] <Arc_Orion> You might just choose to image the partitions.
[08:08] <rsv> how can i do that?
[08:08] <Arc_Orion> Well first, how much data are you backing up?
[08:08] <rsv> i have a 160GB and a 100GB backup to be taken
[08:08] <Arc_Orion> I take it one's Windows and one's Linux?
[08:08] <rsv> yes
[08:09] <rsv> i dont have time deleting all the crap stuff i have. so i want to take all that i have
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> rsv: use gparted or disk manager in windows
[08:09] <Zachk18> ok....so how do i install one?
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: you add the ppa address to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:10] <Zachk18> ok
[08:10] <rsv> i also have one 250GB seagate harddrive
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: add the deb and deb-src lines, import the key, then run: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install <whatever its called>
[08:10] <qdb> hello. how to make grep '"http://[^(domain.com/)]' /var/log/apache2/domaincom.log.1 >./1.txt to work?
[08:10] <rsv> i plan to use it first for backing up all the stuff
[08:11] <rsv> so i formatted it into ntfs entirely so that i can use entire usb harddisk
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> qdb:  theres online 'regular expression tester/builders' you can try out to see whats not working withit.
[08:12] <qdb> it works
[08:12] <qdb> Dr_Willis, just
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> it pays to ask the actual question. :)
[08:12] <qdb> do not output to file
[08:12] <qdb> if i remove > ./1.txt
[08:12] <qdb> it outputs
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> hmm..  try just > 1.txt ?
[08:13] <Arc_Orion> I'm used to using Norton Ghost or Acronis for imaging.  I'd recommend Clonezilla, but I've only ever used it once, rsv.
[08:13] <qdb> i tried
[08:13] <prince_jammys> qdb: you can't negate a regex that way.
[08:13] <prince_jammys> if it works, it works by accident
[08:13] <qdb> also echo ә >./1.txt do not work
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> !backup | rsv
[08:13] <bala> hi, could someone tell me where i would be able to find linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic (2.6.28-15.51) ? i am getting 49 through apt, but the debug symbols i downloaded from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ are for 51?
[08:14] <rsv> okay - what is the easiest way of backing up
[08:14] <filistine> For the life of me i cannot get Firefox 3.5 to install on ubuntu - everything i do fails
[08:14] <gareim_> Dr_Willis: I'm about to get some sleep, but before I go, can you tell me if the sound problem will be easily fixable, or will it require more advanced knowledge?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> rsv: i use a cron'd cp job, it just copies the data as is to a firewire drive
[08:15] <Polterge|st> :D
[08:15] <Polterge|st> my rhythmbox and totem are working perfectly now
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Polterge|st: wtg :D
[08:15] <Polterge|st> on the highest audio settings too
[08:15] <filistine> and how can i change my keyboard behavior so that the shift-numpad keys work like they do in Windows
[08:15] <Polterge|st> I made some config adjustments for pulse and now it is not stuttering at all
[08:16] <rsv> i cannot use cron - since i connect my usb harddisk once 15 or 30 days and take backup
[08:16] <Polterge|st> before rhythmbox would not play at all
[08:16] <Polterge|st> and I adjusted the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf file
[08:16] <Polterge|st> and set auto respawn in the /etc/pulse/client.conf    file
[08:16] <Polterge|st> and in /etc/asound.conf I tweaked it a little bit
[08:16] <Polterge|st> no problems with audio playback now
[08:16] <Polterge|st> at all
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> rsv: as long as the destination exists the backup will succeed
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Polterge|st: always nice to hear a happy ending
[08:17] <mehedi> my pointer sometimes moves automatically. what can i do??????
[08:18] <Polterge|st> yeah I mean they have been doing improvements to the audio stuff but realistically their settings will not be optimum for a 1.2 ghz 512 mb ram machine
[08:18] <dumont> this would be an OK rule correct? i want to block this IP completely, iptables -A INPUT -s 91.199.22.61 -j DROP
[08:18] <Polterge|st> with onboard intel audio
[08:18] <mehedi> my pointer frequently moves automatically. what can i do??????
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> gareim_:  hard to tell. You could always try the latest alpha release and see if its fixed in the next release
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: clean the underside of your mose and laser
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  :) i was just typing that.
[08:18] <Polterge|st> hehe
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: try the quick fix first
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> its amazing how  fine these new mice  can be in their viewing
[08:19] <gareim_> Dr_Willis: Ok, I'll wait till 9.10 is out and then I'll try it (but the problem has been following me since 8.10). Thanks for all the help! Night!
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> one dog hair, or so on in the wrong place...
[08:19] <suigeneris> !grub
[08:19] <rsv> okay guys thank you
[08:19] <rsv> i will catch you later
[08:19] <rsv> bye
[08:20] <mehedi> thankkkkkkkkkkks
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: score!
[08:20] <dumont> anything added to IPtables, starts working right away, or do I need to restart?
[08:20] <mehedi> its now ok
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: simple answers are usually the right ones
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: clean the surface its running on too
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: with something to actually clean it, not just a sleeve
[08:21] <qdb> how to redirect echo abc to file?
[08:21] <mehedi> ok
[08:21] <Arc_Orion> dumont, should work right away.
[08:21] <prince_jammys> qdb: if you want to match http:// but NOT http://domain.com, either use two greps or awk '/http:\/\// && !/http:\/\/domain.com' , or perl.
[08:21] <prince_jammys> [^(domain.com)] is the same as [^()acdimno.]
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> qdb: echo abc > ~/file.txt
[08:22] <dumont> thanks, btw why does it take like 4 seconds for iptables -L to display INPUT, and then 4 secs to display OUTPUT added entry?
[08:22] <prince_jammys> a single character that isn't any in the list
[08:22] <Arc_Orion> Make sure you save the config, as it says in the wiki.
[08:22] <qdb> do not work
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> qdb: if abc is a variable and you want its value use: echo $abc > ~/file.txt
[08:22] <qdb> it is string
[08:22] <qdb> 1.txt do not appear
[08:22] <prince_jammys> qdb: if you have permission to write files in the current dir, it works.
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> qdb: or try: echo "abc" > ~/file.txt
[08:23] <qdb> ok
[08:23] <prince_jammys> the look in your home dir.
[08:23] <Arc_Orion> dumont, to be honest, I dunno.  I just looked it up.
[08:23] <qdb> i have permission and wirh quotes also do not work
[08:24] <prince_jammys> qdb: what is the exact command?
[08:24] <legend2440> bala: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.28-15.51/+build/1198058
[08:24] <qdb> echo "abc" > ~/1.txt
[08:24] <CatEater> does anyone run ubuntu in a vm on a windows host? what do you use? i can't get anything to work so far
[08:24] <qdb> the command that i need is much more complicated
[08:24] <prince_jammys> qdb: if that "doesn't work", your system is broken.
[08:24] <qdb> hm
[08:25] <prince_jammys> or your shell is not bash, or i don't know what.
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> CatEater:  virtualbox works quite well.
[08:25] <prince_jammys> qdb: cat ~/1.txt
[08:26] <qdb> it works!
[08:26] <qdb> abc
[08:26] <prince_jammys> it better
[08:26] <qdb> but it is invisible in nautilus
[08:26] <prince_jammys> qdb: refresh it or something
[08:26] <qdb> ok
[08:27] <qdb> refreshed
[08:27] <prince_jammys> not there?
[08:27] <qdb> showed up
[08:27] <qdb> thank you
[08:27] <bala> legend2440: thank you very much!
[08:27] <prince_jammys> qdb: look at the other thing i said about your domain.com issue.
[08:27] <legend2440> bala: your welcome
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> Shell basics. :)
[08:27] <qdb> you said it should not work
[08:28] <qdb> it works
[08:28] <filistine> ok, i have firefox 3.5 installed and i can run it from the bin folder, but the icon always starts the old firefox, how can i change this so that "firefox" is associated with the new application?
[08:28] <prince_jammys> qdb: it really doesn;t.
[08:28] <qdb> i made it reading a regex manual
[08:28] <prince_jammys> qdb: it may look like it works.
[08:28] <prince_jammys> but it doesn't
[08:28] <qdb> i do not know it much
[08:28] <friendki> any one: i have a problem access the website with java
[08:28] <Madpilot> filistine, right-click on the icon, change the path
[08:28] <qdb> you or i can check in #regex ...
[08:28] <prince_jammys> qdb: [^..]  matches a SINGLE character that isn't in the list inside the [^ ]
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> filistine:  drag/drop the shiitko icon from the menus to the desktop.
[08:29] <Dr_Willis> !ff3.5
[08:29] <qdb> hm
[08:29] <prince_jammys> qdb: so you're getting results, but not necessarily the ones you want.
[08:29] <qdb> how to make what i want then
[08:29] <prince_jammys> qdb: if you want to match http:// but NOT http://domain.com, either use two greps or awk '/http:\/\// && !/http:\/\/domain.com' , or perl.
[08:30] <prince_jammys> qdb: you cannot negate 'domain.com' without using fancy perl regexes, or two traditional greps, or the awk command there, or something else
[08:30] <Darkebrz> Okay, when I'm using Windows, where can I find my Linux partition?
[08:30] <CatEater> what do ubuntu users run it on?
[08:30] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.
[08:31] <CatEater> i can't find anything that runs it that costs less than $500
[08:31] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.
[08:31] <CatEater> i have tried a few virtual machines that don't work
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Darkebrz: you can install fs-driver and access it, i'm not sure it allows write access but i know it gives read
[08:32] <Arc_Orion> CatEater, Dr_Willis mentioned VirtualBox.
[08:32] <saulus> !seen sebsebseb
[08:32] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.
[08:32] <qdb> thank you
[08:32] <CatEater> Arc_Orion: i can;'t get vbox to work though
[08:32] <CatEater> Arc_Orion: vbox does not show a display, ever
[08:32] <Zachk18> how do you change your name on here? the color i mean
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> CatEater: install it in your OS and tell it to mount the ISO as the cd drive, it will then boot from the ISO
[08:33] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: what about a double click on the room name?
[08:34] <friendki> darkebrz: to access linux partition from windows try program ext2ifs
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> !ext2
[08:34] <filistine> Thanks guys, i got it working :)
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> !ext3
[08:34] <Zachk18> firebird....ah shit
[08:34] <Zachk18> oops...sorry
[08:34] <GuidMorrow> does mencoder have a command to record video from capture cards
[08:35] <GuidMorrow> !language > Zachk18
[08:35] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.
[08:35] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.double click does not work
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: tried a double click on the room name instead of using the button?
[08:36] <mehedi> ya. but does not work
[08:37] <friendki> it is possible to have multi update of java?
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> yahoo requires you to go to some web site, and enter some password/code normally befor it lets you join a room the first time
[08:38] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.double click does not work
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> i thought pidgin launched a browser the first time you tried to Join. to enter that password.. then joining works.
[08:38] <qdb> prince_jammys, thank you, it was not correct
[08:38] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.double click does not work
[08:39] <prince_jammys> qdb: welcome. negating part of a regex is unpleasant.
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> !repeat | mehedi
[08:39] <prince_jammys> qdb: perl regexes have a way of doing it, but the Basic Regex and Extended Regex used by grep don't.
[08:39] <mehedi> in Pidgin i get the room list of yahoo but can not join, when i press join.double click does not work
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: there are no new usrs on the channel so asking the same questions only achieves the channel scrolling. please stop
[08:40] <indus> hello all
[08:40] <uman> how do I log in as root?
[08:40] <Zachk18> sorry......i just am freakin mad over trying to get firebird to work and it wont
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> uman: you dont
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> mehedi:  pidgin  normally launches a browser the first time you tried to Join. to enter a  password.. then joining works. Try connectingto a yahoo chat via the browser.
[08:41] <Madpilot> ubottu, root | uman
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> uman: use sudo and gksudo to get admin priveledges
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> uman: it makes your system a billion times more secure
[08:41] <uman> ActionParsnip: I find it very difficult to believe that there is no way to set a root password in ubuntu
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> uman: there is but its not supported here
[08:41] <indus> there is but i cant tell you
[08:41] <Madpilot> uman, you can, but there's no need, and it's not supported...
[08:41] <Zachk18> there is a way to set a root password...
[08:41] <uman> who cares
[08:41] <dumont> uman: did u want to switch to root user? type: su root
[08:42] <dumont> switch user
[08:42] <indus> uman: google for it ,its pretty easy
[08:42] <uman> I didn't say I want to do it for any practical purpose
[08:42] <Zachk18> go to users/groups
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> err.  use 'sudo -s' to get a root shell.. NOT su root
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> uman: you can use: sudo -i
[08:42] <uman> I'm just curious
[08:42] <Zachk18> in administration
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: dont its not supported
[08:42] <Zachk18> do you want to login as root or something on your pc?\
[08:42] <Zachk18> because that is possible..it's in the setting
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> Direct logging into X via GDM as root - is also disabled via gdm settings.
[08:43] <hateball> Dr_Willis: I believe "sudo -i" is the prefered way to become root, if one would have to
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: so are a lot of other destructive things but we dont support those either
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> hateball:  -i  or -s depends on your needs.. i forget when i use one or the other.
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> hateball: they are equal if no command is entered after -s
[08:43] <hateball> ActionParsnip: Ah right :)
[08:44] <Zachk18> you go to system/adminstration/login window and you can change to login as root ability...how is that not supported if it's there?
[08:45] <Madpilot> Zachk18, just because it's there doesn't mean it's even remotely a good idea
[08:45] <Madpilot> s/there/possible
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: its not necessary or required and is a VERY bad idea so we dont support it here
[08:45] <indus> Zachk18: i agree with you
[08:45] <Zachk18> indus...you do?
[08:45] <indus> ya
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: its possible to rm -rf /lib but you dont advise that do you (DO NOT use that command)
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> so me 'formating my system and erasing eveyrthing by mistake'   "Is supported" because its doable?
[08:46] <|Steve|> Did you really tell someone that setting a root password is not supported?
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> :)
[08:46] <uman> ^
[08:46] <indus> Zachk18: its right there under users and groups, any average user will figure it out
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> !root
[08:46] <Zachk18> ok that's what i thought
[08:46] <WinterWeaver> I installed Kubuntu on top of Ubuntu, via synaptic. After playing, I prefer Ubuntu. How can I remove KDE again, since I cant untick the "task" in synaptic.
[08:46] <|Steve|> sudo passwd *gasp*
[08:46] <maco> !puregnome
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> its amazing how much one can accidently trash  a system by just running a file manager as root.
[08:46] <maco> WinterWeaver: ^
[08:46] <Zachk18> i mean i have to if i want firebird to work do i not? because any documentation that i have so far found states to download it in root
[08:47] <uman> |Steve|: stfu it's not supported!
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> Zachk18: also the devs of ubuntu whom arevery experienced engineers sat round and discussed this at length and decided it was a great idea to ave the account disabled.
[08:47] <WinterWeaver> thx maco
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> I think of it as a IQ test..if you know enough Linux to know that command.. then ya know enigh to know why its not a good idea
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> Zachk18:  that sounds like some bad guides to me.
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: +1
[08:47] <Zachk18> well for some things it's a good idea to have it
[08:47] <filistine> is it a bit odd that Ubuntu would take 8 minutes to duplicate a 16GB file?
[08:47] <indus> Dr_Willis: those who come from red hat lineage wont take well to that advice
[08:47] <maco> filistine: depends. command line or through a GUI?
[08:47] <uman> Dr_Willis: Do you really think knowing Linux commands is a measure of IQ?
[08:47] <Zachk18> filistine: no
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> Zachk18:  if compiling stuff from source.. really only the 'sudo make install' command needs root access
[08:47] <indus> anyways off topic
[08:48] <filistine> i used the GUI - copy and paste
[08:48] <Zachk18> yeah but it doesn't work for me
[08:48] <uman> Dr_Willis: BBBB?
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> uman:  yes. because you have to THINK about 'root has no password.. how to set it...' Thinking is key.
[08:48] <uman> oops
[08:48] <filistine> very Windowsesque
[08:48] <uman> Dr_Willis: Go impale yourself
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> 'think, learnm apply'
[08:48] <maco> uman: i think that was "if you have sufficient IQ and know what rm does...then its obvious why that command is bad"
[08:48] <Zachk18> i mean it can install and i know how to use the terminal but it comes back with errors.
[08:48] <|Steve|> Having a root password is not dangerous.
[08:48] <Zachk18> how is the chat red?
[08:48] <maco> uman: oh wait i thought ou were referring to the rm command before
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> Zachk18:  of course now everhting has gotten away from your actual problem
[08:48] <uman> Dr_Willis: So I have lower IQ than you because I've never had occasion to change my password, so I didn't remember the passwd command from the top of my head?
[08:49] <Madpilot> |Steve|, no, but it's also not needed, and it's not how Ubuntu is set up
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> uman:  from your attitude.. yes I think so.
[08:49] <maco> |Steve|: eh.....remote attackers know that the username is root so they only have to guess password. default way they have to guess user & password
[08:49] <indus> uman: nvm now, you got the hint
[08:49] <Zachk18> goodness people don't shoot eachother
[08:49] <ActionParsnip1> maco: +1
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> maco: +10
[08:49] <|Steve|> maco: Generally, ssh should disallow root. Of course, Ubuntu decided not to do that by default.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip1> Zachk18: its stupid and people advising people how to do stupid things are equal
[08:50] <uman> Dr_Willis: you are the one who has an attitude, saying I am less intelligent than you because I didn't remember the name of the command to change password in linux
[08:50] <Zachk18> oh so i'm stupid now
[08:50] <indus> ActionParsnip1: can i name a root user with another name? or is that just like sudo? or escalating privileges for some user?
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> uman:  did i point out you directly? Noo.. youa re the one that got all huffy..
[08:50] <ActionParsnip1> Zachk18: no just advising people how to significantly reduce their security really grinds my gears
[08:50] <uman> Dr_Willis: I wonder if you have ever had sex in your life
[08:50] <uman> masturbation doesn't count
[08:50] <ActionParsnip1> indus: no, root will always be root
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> indus:  sudo has a great many features other then 'letting people get root access'
[08:50] <indus> ok mods please restore peace
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> uman:  yea. you are showing your IQ now.
[08:50] <indus> :)
[08:51] <indus> thank you
[08:51] <lexr> cal down people
[08:51] <prince_jammys> mm. i leave for a minute and the channel goes nuts.
[08:51] <indus> Dr_Willis: please leave it
[08:51] <lexr> *m
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> indus:  Ok :)
[08:51] <Madpilot> indus, you can give other uses sudo privs
[08:51] <maco> oh goodness, will you all SHUT IT?!
[08:51] <indus> :)
[08:51] <Madpilot> indus, users, not uses. gah.
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> indus:  which is better vi or emacs?
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> :)
[08:51] <indus> Dr_Willis: i prefer gedit :)
[08:51] <Madpilot> Dr_Willis, don't start that one up. :)
[08:51] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: thats just as bad, nice move :D
[08:51] <prince_jammys> notepad!
[08:51] <Zachk18> uman shut up
[08:51] <lexr> i preffer nano
[08:52] <lexr> in cli
[08:52] <|Steve|> maco: So now people just have to get the user's username (probably some combination of letters in his name) and password and they have root rather than getting the user name, password and root password.
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> I recall finding a Clone of the old dos edit (text editor) command  for linux But cant recall its name. anyone seen it? was on some live cd for some disrto i tested once.
[08:52] <indus> i have a nerve missing in my brain which makes me difficult to type commands for vi
[08:52] <maco> |Steve|: user & password versus password
[08:52] <michael_> hello
[08:52] <|Steve|> maco: Once again, disable root ssh and that takes away that line of attack.
[08:52] <Chousuke> Dr_Willis: just use ed and experience the ingenuity of the '?' interface.
[08:53] <Zachk18> hey i'm sorry but having a root login is sometimes necessary because of file permissions
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> Chousuke:  i actually had to use ed quite a bit years ago.
[08:53] <|Steve|> PermitRootLogin no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
[08:53] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: one of my mates cowers when you mention edlin
[08:53] <Madpilot> Zachk18, I think that you do not understand sudo when you say stuff like that
[08:53] <Madpilot> Now, can we kindly move on?
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> I really like the 'fte' editor thats in the repos.. its often overlooked
[08:54] <Zachk18> yeah well shove it
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> sudo - really has a lot of features that get overlooked.
[08:54] <Chousuke> |Steve|: I think on most systems there exist some local exploit that you can use to gain root anyway if you have access to any account.
[08:54] <Zachk18> i know that sudo is quite good.
[08:54] <filistine> is there a free Java html server that can be used on Linux with MySQL instead of PHP?
[08:55] <|Steve|> Chousuke: Probably so, but that's not an argument against having a root password.
[08:55] <Chousuke> |Steve|: but the thing is, if you have the root password enabled for most users it's just an extra burden.
[08:55] <|-Gobi-|> I just love linux... I just learned how I can mount remote fs, and use my test webserver with notepad under wine...
[08:55] <|Steve|> I mean, I can always do sudo su -.
[08:55] <ActionParsnip1> |-Gobi-|: its that flexible :)
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> sudo -s or sudo -i  please.. no need for 'sudo su'
[08:56] <prince_jammys> aka. sudo -i
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> |Steve|:  using notepad.exe to edit linux config files = can cause issues with the extra carrage return/line feeds
[08:56] <Chousuke> |Steve|: Most of the time if you get rooted it's not because someone guesses your password, anyway.
[08:56] <|Steve|> Ah, sure. -i.
[08:56] <|Steve|> Dr_Willis: Um, okay. I don't run windows, but good to know.
[08:57] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL environment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in passwd(5). If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution. Otherwise, an interactive shell is executed
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> |Steve|:  why in the world would you want to use notepad in wine? :)
[08:57] <|Steve|> Chousuke: Well, all they have to do is guess my user password if I'm in the sudoers file.
[08:57] <prince_jammys> |Steve|: perhaps part of the reason is that many new ubuntu users would right away start running as root.
[08:57] <|Steve|> Dr_Willis: I don't. What are you talking about?
[08:57] <Chousuke> |Steve|: well, yes, but your user password should be as strong as your root password.
[08:57] <Madpilot> Dr_Willis, wrong user. it's
[08:57] <prince_jammys> |Steve|: given that so many come from windows, where that's what they're used to.
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> Oh that was for |-Gobi-|  :)
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> heh
[08:57] <|Steve|> Chousuke: So again, not an argument for disabling root.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> you leet haxors and your | in the nicks
[08:58] <|Steve|> prince_jammys: I don't see why they would.
[08:58] <codeshah> hey guys, how do I install pdo_mysql for PHP?
[08:58] <|Steve|> prince_jammys: But the account they created would be the one they use.
[08:58] <|-Gobi-|> Dr_Willis: I ment notepad++
[08:58] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: if you have root disabled then they must guess a username which is a member of the admin group as well as the password, with root the username is already known
[08:58] <Chousuke> |Steve|: the main argument for disabling root is that is simplifies things and makes the system more flexible.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> |-Gobi-|:  i find the native linux editors   best :)
[08:58] <maxb> *blink* "more flexible" !??!
[08:58] <prince_jammys> |Steve|: in any case, enabling it is easy.
[08:58] <|Steve|> More flexible, in what way?
[08:58] <Chousuke> |Steve|: using sudo allows greater control over who has access to what.
[08:59] <ActionParsnip1> codeshah: http://www.theatons.com/ubuntu-install-php5-mysql-apache2-ssl-pdo-pdo_mysql
[08:59] <|-Gobi-|> Dr_Willis: I am slave of my habbits and didn't want to transfer yet.. so much to learn aftrer I switched to totally to linux
[08:59] <|Steve|> prince_jammys: I agree it's easy. I was just surprised to hear that you told someone that it isn't supported.
[08:59] <prince_jammys> |Steve|: I didn't, but it's true.
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> 'define supported'  :)
[08:59] <Subdolus> Hello all. I have two wifi cards in my laptop. When I plug the second USB one in, it automatically associates with the same AP configured for the original card. If this isn't annoying enough, when I configure the second card using the command line (promisc mode for eg), the Network Manager takes it upon itself to reset the settings after a while. How can I stop Network Manager or whatever doing this? Just make it ignore a specific interface?
[08:59] <prince_jammys> |Steve|: as in "not recommended" here
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> support is such a vague term in so many ways
[08:59] <|Steve|> Not supported by ubuntu and not recommended in #ubuntu are two very different things.
[08:59] <Chousuke> the root user has access to everything, so there's no point in keeping the root account around if you're trying to make the permissions system more fine-grained.
[09:00] <Chousuke> |Steve|: not supported as in, if you do it, you're on your own.
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> as in the support people wont tell you to do it.. perhaps..
[09:00] <prince_jammys> |Steve|: not recommended. not supported in the sense that if people who come here start enabling root and causing mayhem (which they will), we don't want to deal with it.
[09:00] <zaggynl> meh, just disable remote root login
[09:01] <|Steve|> Enabling root hasn't caused me a single problem.
[09:01] <|Steve|> zaggynl: Yeah, that's what I said.
[09:01] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: yet
[09:01] <Flannel> |-Gobi-|: Check out SCiTE instead (it's in the repos).  It's what Notepad++ uses for all the text stuff, so you should feel at home with it.
[09:01] <Chousuke> |Steve|: what has it gained you, though?
[09:01] <prince_jammys> |Steve|: so since it's easy to enable for those who know and want to, they already probably have the know-how not to cause mayhem.
[09:01] <zaggynl> either you're going to use sudo or so
[09:01] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: You forgot the *dun dun dun* after that.
[09:01] <Chousuke> |Steve|: a false sense of security?
[09:01] <zaggynl> if they find a user within the wheel group you're screwed anyway
[09:01] <maxb> "there's no point in keeping the root account around" <--- this is nonsensical, the concept of root is embedded into Linux right down to the kernel, you can't just rip it out
[09:01] <|Steve|> Chousuke: An ability to log into my computer when I couldn't log in as my user.
[09:01] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: if you have it disabled your system is more secure
[09:01] <Chousuke> maxb: no.
[09:01] <maxb> Chousuke: yes.
[09:02] <Chousuke> maxb: the root account is pointless. all that matters in the superuser privileges.
[09:02] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: No one has demonstrated that.
[09:02] <|-Gobi-|> Flannel: ty for the tip, i'll give a try
[09:02] <Chousuke> maxb: and sudo provides a perfectly fine way of accessing that.
[09:02] <Flannel> |Steve|: This channel assumes you have the root account disabled, we provide support as if it's disabled because it means we don't have to ask silly questions with every single person who has a problem related to it.
[09:02] <maxb> Chousuke: sudo provides a perfectly fine way of accessing the root account, yes
[09:02] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: the root account is common to all nix systems so all an attacker has to do is guess the password, if it is disabled, an attacker has to exactly guess a username as well as the password
[09:03] <Chousuke> maxb: superuser privileges don't equal the root account.
[09:03] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: you have halved the work needed to be done
[09:03] <maxb> Chousuke: actually, they rather do
[09:03] <Chousuke> maxb: having a root account in this case means you can login as root.
[09:03] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: For the third time, disallow remote root login.
[09:03] <Flannel> However, everyone, the root vs sudo discussion is offtopic for this channel.  If you'd like to continue it, may I suggest a change in venue to #ubuntu-offtopic?  Thanks
[09:03] <Chousuke> maxb: not just that the uid 0 exists.
[09:03] <Subdolus> Nobody? How do I disable a certain device from being configured automatically by the Network Manager?
[09:03] <Chousuke> (because it always does :P)
[09:03] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: also, many linux techies sat round and discussed this at length and decided it was a fantastic idea, but i'm sure you know better, right
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  thats the way it always is!
[09:04] <ActionParsnip1> Flannel: thats gonna empty the channel ;)
[09:04] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: Appeal to authority works, but you have to actually name the authority.
[09:04] <Flannel> |Steve|: The Ubuntu Technical Board
[09:04] <|Steve|> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
[09:05] <Chousuke> I really don't understand why people are so enamored to the root account.
[09:05] <Flannel> Again, this is offtopic, please continue elsewhere.
[09:05] <Chousuke> sudo is better in every way
[09:05] <|Steve|> Chousuke: You've clearly never been in a situation where you couldn't log into your user account then.
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> Chousuke: because when idiots screw their systems through bad practises tey expect us to pick up the pieces
[09:05] <Subdolus> Need assistance damnit ><
[09:05] <Chousuke> the first thing I do on Debian machines is install sudo and lock root :/
[09:05] <NeXstaR> !pastebin
[09:05] <Subdolus> !nm
[09:05] <Chousuke> |Steve|: in those cases I an just boot into single-user mode.
[09:05] <Subdolus> !nm-applet
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> Subdolus: sup?
[09:06] <Subdolus> !networkmanager
[09:06] <Flannel> Take the sudo vs root discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:06] <Subdolus> woot.
[09:06] <ActionParsnip1> Flannel: i'm done
[09:06] <ActionParsnip1> Subdolus: wassup man?
[09:07] <Subdolus> I'm trying to make Network Manager ignore my second wifi card
[09:07] <RichiV> ActionParsnip1? what happened to ActionParsnip the original?
[09:07] <ActionParsnip1> Subdolus: why would it pay attention to it?
[09:07] <Subdolus> so I can play with it in the console and not have it remove my settings over and over
[09:07] <wizzo50> !list
[09:07] <ActionParsnip1> RichiV: this is my work lappy, i use pidgin for sametime. I must still be logged on on my desktop
[09:08] <|Steve|> Is booting into single user mode possible without grub?
[09:08] <iwobbles> hey how come when I log into freenode Im using TCP-Unknown but on dalnet it uses IRCD protocols ? is the TCP-Unkown perhaps just IRCD without headers in the packets ?
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> Subdolus: hmm you could tell it to disable the device then configure it in the interfaces file, th einterfaces file supercedes network manager
[09:09] <Flannel> |Steve|: Lilo can do it, I'm not familiar with yaboot
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: you cant boot into anything without a bootloader, grub is your bootloader
[09:09] <|Steve|> yaboot is a pain in the ass.
[09:09] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: Um, no, it isn't.
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: its the default, you havent stated you were using anything different
[09:10] <CatEater> what do people usually run ubuntu on? i can't get vbox working on windows xp
[09:10] <Flannel> |Steve|: yaboot can boot to single user mode too, yes.
[09:10] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: It's certainly not the default on my platform (or even an option).
[09:10] <wizzo50> On Ubuntu, how do you bring up your drives showing how much space you have used and what is left of your Hard drives?
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> CatEater:  i use virtualbox under windows all the time with no problems.
[09:10] <|Steve|> Flannel: Okay. yaboot barely works as far as I can tell.
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: i run it on an AMD3000+ AM2 with 1GbDDR2 and nvidia 6250 gfx, works great
[09:10] <CatEater> Dr_Willis: i can't even get the vm window to show up
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> !gru
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> !grub
[09:11] <CatEater> it never appears
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: your witness ^
[09:11] <Flannel> |Steve|: Well, if it barely works at all, then it barely works to boot to the recovery console too, but it works.
[09:11] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: Powerpc.
[09:11] <CatEater> is vbox some kind of in-joke?
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> wizzo50:  go to places-> comptuer. right click & properties on any icon
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> |Steve|: again, please provide better information so we dont have to guess
[09:11] <|Steve|> Flannel: By barely works, I mean that I've never successfully gotten the yaboot prompt.
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> CatEater:  virtualbox works very well for me on windows.. perhaps check #windows or the vbox homepage/forums
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: its fine for virtualisation
[09:12] <|Steve|> ActionParsnip1: I'm not asking for help, I merely asked if single user mode were possible without grub. You were the one who kept insisting that I was using grub.
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> CatEater:  or try vmware. (a little harder to use)
[09:12] <Flannel> |Steve|: The answer to that is yes.
[09:12] <CatEater> ActionParsnip1: how do i view what's on the display though?
[09:12] <|Steve|> Flannel: Right, thanks.
[09:12] <CatEater> i guess it's fine if i don;'t need to see what's happening
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: you boot the virtualbox up and the display is shown
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: the default is to display the desktop
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> CatEater:  it works perfectly fine here. i see the display just fine. Your windows system is goofed up sounds like to me.
[09:13] <CatEater> ActionParsnip1: it's shown for a brief time, then it disappears
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: are you sure you arent running vmware?
[09:13] <CatEater> ActionParsnip1: it's vbox 3.0.4
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> Vmware- is a beast of another  type.
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: i'd reinstall it then, and delete the config files
[09:13] <zaggynl> hm im running 2.2.4
[09:13] <CatEater> the last thing i see is a black display with a _ in the top left, then it just *poof* disappears
[09:13] <wizzo50> \join unity-coders
[09:14] <CatEater> ok, where do i delete config files?
[09:14] <wizzo50> \join #unity-coders
[09:14] <zaggynl> /
[09:14] <Flannel> wizzo50: /join not \join
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> CatEater:  THAT sounds like your ubuntu iso file is either currupted.. or you dont hav the vbox machine mounting the iso file.
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: uninstall the app, then delete the .virtulabox folder in your windos profile, then reinstall
[09:14] <CatEater> Dr_Willis: at some point, i actually managed to install ubuntu
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: did you md5 check theiso you are using?
[09:14] <CatEater> pretty sure it's booting from hard drive now
[09:15] <ActionParsnip1> the iso*
[09:15] <CatEater> i went through the whole install process
[09:15] <CatEater> ok how do i check iso
[09:15] <ActionParsnip1> !md5 | CatEater
[09:15] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: you have no way of knowing the iso is correct yet you still used it? md5 checks give you assurance the image is good and hasnt been damaged during download
[09:16] <CatEater> those instructions aren't for windows
[09:16] <CatEater> i can't use them
[09:16] <marko> my sound is not working properly. it was working fine until i tried to shut down my PC and then the screen went black but never shut off. i then forcibly shut it off. next time i switched it on, the sound is not working when it is starting up or with most programs (except with Jukebox and Totem Movie Player
[09:16] <marko> can someone help me?
[09:16] <CatEater> they all have a $ prompt
[09:16] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM%20on%20Windows
[09:16] <marko> also, when i plug in my headsets, the sound stops working altogether on any program
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: read the screen, there was a link to how to md5 on ALL platforms
[09:19] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: found it?
[09:20] <CatEater> somehow i lost track
[09:20] <CatEater> found what again?
[09:20] <celthunder> marko what kind of sound device is it
[09:20] <CatEater> i just downloaded a windows md5sum utuility
[09:20] <CatEater> why did i do that again?
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> You tell us...
[09:21] <CatEater> i used the verify cd function in the iso before i installed, so why do i need to verify it again?
[09:21] <CatEater> i used a good cd image
[09:21] <CatEater> now, how do i view my vbox window?
[09:21] <Dabian> ubotu whats the current version of ubuntu?
[09:21] <Flannel> Dabian: 9.04
[09:22] <Dabian> Flannel: Thank you!
[09:22] <marko> celthunder: card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog] is that what ur looking for?
[09:22] <Dabian> I'm running the current version of Ubuntu, but I need to upgrade my Open Office Org to 3.1 (from 3.0) ... is there a package I can download, or must I do a manual install?
[09:22] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: its still good to verify the ISO BEFORE burning. Otherwise you may waste a disk. It also means you can be sure the ISO you are using is good
[09:23] <ActionParsnip1> Dabian: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html
[09:23] <celthunder> marko okay, i'm assuming you checked alsamixer made sure nothing is muted etc?
[09:23] <Dabian> ( ... and we all want good ISO's ... )
[09:23] <CatEater> ActionParsnip1: burning? aaaaaahahahahaha
[09:23] <CatEater> maybe when i can afford a burner
[09:23] <Flannel> !ooo | Dabian
[09:23] <CatEater> they're like $80
[09:23] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: its still necessary to verify the file
[09:23] <CatEater> ActionParsnip1: i did already verify though
[09:23] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: bad file gives bad install
[09:23] <Dabian> ActionParsnip1: Thanks!  Looks like I might have googled it ... :)
[09:24] <CatEater> the file teself has a verification utility, which i used
[09:24] <Dabian> Thanks again, Flannel!
[09:24] <CatEater> itself
[09:24] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: then uninstall virtualbox, remove .virtualbox from your profile and reinstall
[09:24] <CatEater> ActionParsnip1: how do i "remove .virtualbox from your profile"?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: yes but testing the iso outside of that is needed too
[09:24] <marko> celthunder: im pretty sure i've done that and it wasn't working properly. ive unmuted everything but when i play a sound, a faint static sound happens
[09:25] <marko> i thought it was hardware related, but Jukebox and Totem Movie Player works perfectly
[09:25] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: you have a folder for the settings for virtualbox in your windows profile, i think its in local settings\application settings I'm not sure, search your profile for it
[09:26] <CatEater> ok, kill vbox, delete vbox settings, reinstall vbox
[09:26] <celthunder> marko so what program produces static?
[09:26] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: that folder holds all settings and hdd images of your virtual box, if you delete it you will get blank settings, if yu uninstall virtualbox you will then have a system that has never heard of the app and you can reinstall it from the beginning
[09:27] <CatEater> WTF
[09:27] <dpozega> Hi guys, is there a command line application which could show me which application is writing what to the disk?
[09:27] <CatEater> "You must type a file name."
[09:27] <CatEater> ok... how do i rename the vbox settings folder?
[09:27] <marko> celthunder: pretty much everytime i try play sound using any program (even when the laptop is starting up) it plays a really faint static. only time it doesnt is if im using Jukebox or Totem, but i can't use both at the same time coz then i lose sound once again
[09:27] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: it will be in: Documents and Settings\username\Application Data
[09:27] <CatEater> windows won't let me
[09:27] <CatEater> it says: "You must type a file name."
[09:28] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: you need to delete .VirtualBox in there (close virtual box first)
[09:28] <CatEater> how do i rename instead of delete?
[09:28] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: then use add remove programs to uninstal the app
[09:28] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: right click the folder -> rename
[09:28] <codeshah> hey guys, I am trying to install php extensions, but it seems that they are installed in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/
[09:28] <Dabian> ActionParsnip1: Hmmm .. doesn't look like there is packages for AMD64 ... am I correct?
[09:28] <codeshah> and so when I add extension= to php.ini it does not find it?
[09:28] <CatEater> it says: "You must type a file name."
[09:28] <CatEater> it won't let ne
[09:28] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: then type a new name
[09:28] <CatEater> me
[09:28] <CatEater> i did though
[09:29] <CatEater> it says: "You must type a file name."
[09:29] <FloodBot2> CatEater: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:29] <ActionParsnip1> Dabian: there are am64 as well as i386
[09:29] <CatEater> oh bit me FloodBot2
[09:29] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: then type a new filename
[09:29] <Dabian> ActionParsnip1: OK .. I'll try some more .. but I got an error. :)
[09:29] <CatEater> just because i had to say the same thing several times doesn't mean anything
[09:29] <CatEater> i did type a new filename
[09:29] <CatEater> it says: "You must type a file name."
[09:29] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: is it unique to the folder
[09:29] <CatEater> yes
[09:29] <celthunder> marko no idea man :( hope you get it fixed though
[09:30] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: is virtalbox still running?
[09:30] <CatEater> no
[09:30] <CatEater> i killed it real good
[09:30] <Dabian> Anyone want to have a look at my error in #Flood?
[09:30] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: i'd reboot, then try rename. windows likes reboots
[09:30] <CatEater> i got all the vbox processes
[09:30] <Dabian> or is there a paste thing for this channel?
[09:30] <CatEater> no reboot sorry
[09:30] <Dabian> ubottu: paster
[09:30] <Dabian> ubottu: paste
[09:30] <ActionParsnip1> !paste | Dabian
[09:30] <prince_jammys> Dabian: paste.ubuntu.com
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> the pastebinit command is sooo handy
[09:30] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: then i'd ask in ##windows. your OS inability to rename a folder isnt supported here
[09:31] <CatEater> wonderful
[09:31] <Dabian> tranks prince_jammys
[09:31] <m__> how can i change my computer language?
[09:31] <iwobbles> mm I had blue screen of death 5 times at work today ActionParsnip1 using windows 15 minutes wasted everytime
[09:31] <Dabian> http://paste.ubuntu.com/266536/
[09:31] <prince_jammys> !locale > m__
[09:31] <Dabian> Its in danish, I fear .. but hopefully it makes sense anyhow.
[09:32] <CatEater> ok, since VMs aren't supported, what should i try: celeron 300 with 64MB RAM, or pentium 233 with 256MB RAM?
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> Dabian: you didnt import the pgp key
[09:32] <m__> how can i change my computer language?
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: either
[09:32] <prince_jammys> !locale | m__
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> !locale | m__
[09:32] <Dabian> ActionParsnip1: *blush* OK .. I guess I was a bit fast.
[09:32] <Dr_Willis> CatEater:  windows is good at locking down files - and  some times they dont get unlocked down properly without a reboot.. thats the core of it.. do what you want.
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> Dabian: read the *whole* how to
[09:32] <Dabian> ActionParsnip1: Right
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> CatEater:  64mb ram - is not going to be enough to runubuntu
[09:33] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: it'll run xubuntu barely
[09:34] <prince_jammys> how about minimal ubuntu + fluxbox or such?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip1> CatEater: you cound use u-lite to install a miinimal ubuntu, then install lxde to get a desktop
[09:34] <ActionParsnip1> prince_jammys: fluxbuntu!!
[09:34] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  barely barely. :)
[09:34] <prince_jammys> but it's in a VM too ..
[09:35] <prince_jammys> that's rough. 64MB is very little.
[09:35] <Dabian> ActionParsnip1: OK .. now its installing!  Thank you very much! :)
[09:35] <ActionParsnip1> Dabian: good lad, you have learned today ;)
[09:35] <Dabian> :)
[09:35] <Dabian> ActionParsnip1: ;)
[09:35] <filistine> i was using firefox on ubuntu, and the application locked up and went grayscale. Does this mean its dead? How do i kill it or restart it?
[09:36] <Chousuke> 64MB is enough for a command-line install but any fancy GUIs are out of the question
[09:36] <Chousuke> you might be able to run twm and a couple xterms though :P
[09:36] <prince_jammys> filistine: pkill firefox
[09:36] <filistine> thanks
[09:36] <zealiod> is it possible to find out what VLAN a certain IP/MAC address is sending packets on?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip1> zealiod: you could ask the switch its attatched to
[09:37] <prince_jammys> ActionParsnip1: is fluxbuntu an actual distro?
[09:37] <prince_jammys> excuse my laziness.
[09:37] <ActionParsnip1> prince_jammys: yes
[09:38] <prince_jammys> weird
[09:38] <prince_jammys> i have minimal + fluxbox, so i guess i must have fluxbuntu
[09:38] <ActionParsnip1> prince_jammys: uses kasenchaze as default browser and rox as file manager, its damn fast
[09:38] <prince_jammys> oh, ok, comes with a set of apps.
[09:38] <aaron11> bazhang are you there
[09:39] <filistine> i cant kill the process - its says its uninteruptable
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> prince_jammys: yes, unfortunately the stupid updtae manager doesnt recognise it so you need one of the desktop metapackages installed to jump up a release, very annoying
[09:39] <Polterge|st> ok what I have learned from playing with these audio settings is that you have to probably set your audio fragments to be at least 5 ms so that some programs like rhythmbox will play the 1ms silence between songs on last.fm
[09:39] <zealiod> ActionParsnip1: hard to tell which switch the traffic is deffo on...
[09:39] <prince_jammys> filistine: brute force is : pkill -9 firefox
[09:39] <Polterge|st> and 10 fragments is a good number
[09:39] <Polterge|st> default was 8
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> filistine: ps -ef | grep fire
[09:39] <aaron11> does anyone know why there are no ads for ubuntu linux
[09:39] <prince_jammys> filistine: that sends it a deadly signal.
[09:39] <m__> has there any need for antivirus in ubuntu??????????
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> filistine: then use: kill <left most number>
[09:39] <prince_jammys> m__: not really, no.
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> m__: not really no
[09:39] <prince_jammys> hah
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> snips
[09:39] <aaron11> m__  no never
[09:40] <Polterge|st> adding 2 more fragments is 10 x 50 which of course is 50 and 50 is 30 less than the default 80 so the system should process it faster
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> m__:  i use them to scan my windows systems/files :)
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> m__:  does that count?
[09:40] <Polterge|st> enabled 32 channels as my value for default number of channels to sample
[09:40] <ActionParsnip1> m__: if you run a samba server you can have AV watching it to save windows users from each other
[09:40] <aaron11> m__  there is avast but that is just no use but install one if u have wINE
[09:40] <Polterge|st> set 2 speaker default under the speaker config setting
[09:40] <filistine> oh oh, now the system monitor has gone gray - one by one, my apps are all going gray
[09:40] <Polterge|st> now it is playing 32 channels across 2 speakers
[09:40] <Polterge|st> with the best resampler
[09:40] <m__> thanks all
[09:40] <ActionParsnip1> aaron11: not needed in wine if the apps never touch the internet
[09:40] <Polterge|st> and with tweaked buffering
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> filistine:  compiz 'greys' processes if it detectx they are slow to respond.
[09:41] <Polterge|st> you can disable that dimming
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> of course without the dimming.. you just have a hanging app.. that you are not sure what its doing..
[09:41] <friendki> how to view complete chat in x-chat?
[09:41] <prince_jammys> two apps i don't like.
[09:41] <Polterge|st> also true Dr_Willis
[09:41] <m__> any one know a very interesting software for ubuntu?? plz make me know
[09:42] <nameless_> hi
[09:42] <prince_jammys> m__: very vague.
[09:42] <nameless_> The Gimp :D
[09:42] <pradeep> any one knows how to set up my laptop as a server??
[09:42] <filistine> i thought linux was the operating system you never had to reboot
[09:42] <jad> so
[09:42] <bgy> hi
[09:42] <Dayofswords> m__: define interesting
[09:42] <m__> ok
[09:42] <ActionParsnip1> filistine: technically no, but it can help
[09:42] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: what sort of server?
[09:42] <prince_jammys> filistine: you won't have to reboot.
[09:42] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: server is a very broad title
[09:43] <prince_jammys> filistine: at least, i'll be surprised if you do.
[09:43] <pradeep> I have developed a website. i have hosted it on apache localhost. my friend should be able to access the website using the services of my laptop
[09:43] <Chousuke> except for kernel upgrades :P
[09:43] <pradeep> is it possible?
[09:43] <bgy> Is there a way to a shortcut when in a folder I right click to choose 'Make a new directory' or 'Make a new file', i'd have liked to add 'Make a new Open Office Document' ?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: so a web server then?
[09:43] <pradeep> yes
[09:43] <m__> like windows xp. virtual girl!
[09:43] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: ok thats better, "server" on its own means nearly nothing
[09:43] <aaron11> ActionParsnip1 if you are connecting to unknown windows servers using ssh or samba then u want to run it using wine then it is very important (avast) usualy if id do that then i realy install the avg (which only finds virusus which could be a thareat to the system) and then use avast and cut their throats off
[09:44] <Dayofswords> server on a laptop is a wierd idea, i'd just criagslist a cheap 50 buck pc and use that instead
[09:44] <zealiod> ActionParsnip1: can i glean that info from an arp request?
[09:44] <pradeep> i have apache  installed on my laptop??
[09:44] <pradeep> so how do i make my laptop as a server now/
[09:44]  * aaron11 is sortof shivery today :/
[09:45] <zephyrian> is there a good way to do file tagging and tag searching on ubuntu?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: it is a server now, it is serving httpd
[09:45] <aaron11> pradeep  why for what reason
[09:45] <aaron11> pradeep  oh ok
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> bgy:  thers some template feature in Nautilus
[09:46] <m__> once i change screen resolution of ubuntu. 2nd time i can not change it. it needs reinstallation of ubuntu!!!!!
[09:46] <pradeep> for example: if my friend types http://192.168.8.232/src
[09:46] <bgy> Dr_Willis, where could i find about this  ? is there a preference box to do thaT ?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> m__: just restart the x server, may help
[09:46] <pradeep> he should be able to run the site on his browser. My laptop will be serving
[09:46] <MarcoPau> hello, I just accidentally erased the content of /etc/init.d/... is there any way to recover?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: as long as he is connected to your wan, yes
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> s/wan/lan
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> bgy:  i recall some Templates Dirctory. but i forget what you put in there.. perhaps a blank doc of the type you want.
[09:47] <pradeep> yeah both are connected to the wan.??
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: so if s/he is connected to your network, that will work
[09:47] <bgy> Dr_Willis, thanks, i'll take a look about this
[09:47] <pradeep> wat should he do then?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: if you are at your house and your friend is at his/her house then that ip will not work
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> bgy:  under create documents -> no templates installed. It looks in that dir for those.
[09:47] <pradeep> do i need to share any folder as such
[09:48] <pradeep> i know that it wont work. i mean on the local area network or the intranet
[09:48] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: you need to setup virtual server / port forwarding on your router to allow the traffic through
[09:48] <m__> has there any way to change the system without command???????
[09:48] <pradeep> ActionParsnip1: how to do that:-)
[09:48] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: then your friend will connect to the wan ip of your router and the data will be forwarded to the correctinternal system
[09:49] <m__>  has there any way to change the system  language without command???????
[09:49] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: it varys wildly from router to router. dig out your manual
[09:49] <prince_jammys> syntax error: too many question marks.

[09:49] <bgy> t*
[09:49] <ActionParsnip1> m__: you have to issue some command to get the language canged, computers respond only to inputs
[09:49] <prince_jammys> m__: probably. the locale URL didn't work for you?
[09:50] <pradeep> ActionParsnip1: There s a application called Meiga which allows you to share folders over http. y won that work?
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> bgy:  its right in my Users Home directory here.,
[09:50] <bgy> Dr_Willis, i just found it ~/Templates
[09:50] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: bad config, is meiga a windows program?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip1> !info meiga
[09:50] <pradeep> no linux
[09:50] <b3rz3rk3r> bgy, it should be in /home/user/Templates
[09:50] <bgy> thanks for the help
[09:51] <greenway> hi, hope you don't hate me for that but: i am currently running winxp (i also have wubi installed) therefore my question: what advantages does ubuntu have over windows xp, or why would should i change to linux? thank you
[09:51] <filistine> Ubuntu fully locked up - frozen mouse - required a hardware reset
[09:51] <leaf-sheep> greenway: It's all about preferences, really.  However, let me find you a link.
[09:51] <Gadu1> I've got ubuntu installed on a touch screen computer that won't be using a mouse or keyboard
[09:51] <filistine> On reboot the first time it said "kernel panic"
[09:51] <pradeep> ActionParsnip1: meiga.igalia.com
[09:51] <prince_jammys> greenway: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and ask there.
[09:52] <Gadu1> what are some recommended packages/applications/setups for such a setup?
[09:52] <greenway> leaf-sheep: thanks
[09:52] <greenway> #ubuntu-offtopic?
[09:52] <b3rz3rk3r> greenway, eys
[09:52] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: you'd still need to port forward to the internal pc
[09:52] <leaf-sheep> greenway: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/
[09:52] <b3rz3rk3r> yes*
[09:52] <greenway> thanks for the fast responses
[09:52] <bobslaede> hey fellas, im trying to create a public ssh key to rsync some files from a debian etch server to an ubuntu edgy server, and well, i think the ssh versions are different. How could this be resolved?
[09:52] <prince_jammys> greenway: it's a channel for non-support related questions that still have to do with ubuntu.
[09:52] <codeshah> I compiled PHP from source [for nginx, fastcgi etc], and am trying to include PHP extensions with PEAR - do I just use the ubuntu built in php-pear or ?
[09:52] <pradeep> ActionParsnip1: But that allows file sharing.
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: yes but you are behind a router which will drop the requests as they are not permitted
[09:54] <Gadu1> the computer the ability to use a mouse and keyboard for setup purposes of course, I just don't intend to use it afterward
[09:54] <pradeep> ActionParsnip1: Anyways i will try messing up with my router and try. The only problem is I am on a college wifi. so i have to get permission to access the router page and do the config
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: you could share your entire system to every manand his dog, if the router does not permit the traffic then no requests will get to the internal lan
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: will get you an onscreen keyboard
[09:55] <Gadu1> excellent
[09:55] <pradeep> ActionParsnip1: :-);-) thanks for the help
[09:56] <ActionParsnip1> pradeep: np man
[09:56] <Gadu1> ActionParsnip1: any user interface changes or modifications that would be beneficial for this little 10" touch setup?
[09:57] <n3f> hi everyone
[09:57] <aaron11> hi
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> Gadu1:  you may want to check out the netbook remix type interfaces.. they are designed for smaller screens
[09:58] <Gadu1> Dr_Willis: will do, thanks ^_^
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: i suggest something lik this for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/364
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: more real estate in browsing
[09:59] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: also install tiny menu and collapse the web controls to one row
[10:01] <Gadu1> ActionParsnip1: Tiny Menu has to be the most beautiful thing for firefox I've ever seen O_O
[10:02] <Like> gm
[10:03] <wizzo50> With my new motherboard, I had a CD come with it with the drivers on it for it's sound and so forth, how do I use it when I have Ubuntu setup on my computer for the drivers?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: if you customise your toolbars, you can drag the address and google search where the menu items used to be
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: then get rid of the bookmark and navigation bar
[10:04] <happy> wizzo50: you can not use windows drivers. Do you need those drivers?
[10:04] <ayathehusker> you dont need motherboard drivers and stuff usually
[10:04] <wizzo50> yes
[10:04] <anr78> I want to give dirs and files different colors when I run ls. This works on a server I log into, but after setting my LS_COLORS in the same way locally I don't get fancy colors. Anything else I must setup?
[10:04] <happy> wizzo50: what is not working?
[10:04] <wizzo50> sound
[10:04] <ayathehusker> ubuntu auto installed all my peripherals cept my creative labs x-fi which i had to get a linux beta driver for
[10:05] <happy> !sound has useful information
[10:05] <happy> !sound
[10:05] <wizzo50> !sound
[10:05] <prince_jammys> anr78: is ls aliased to ls --color=auto  (it tends to be by default)
[10:06] <prince_jammys> anr78: also, at what point are you setting LS_COLORS ? in .bashrc?
[10:06] <anr78> prince_jammys: no alias, and yes, in .bashrc
[10:06] <prince_jammys> anr78: do you get colors at all?
[10:07] <anr78> prince_jammys: using --color=auto gave me fancy colors :)
[10:07] <anr78> prince_jammys: nope
[10:07] <prince_jammys> anr78: so, ls --color=auto  did what you wanted?
[10:07] <mehedi> without vlc has there any good media player for ubuntu?
[10:07] <|-Gobi-|> be advised: If one uses SciTe the FTP isn't working that much... had to use curlftpfs to mount volume. If tried directly Scite just cleared the file empty
[10:08] <anr78> prince_jammys: yes
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> mehedi:  why withoug? I use vlc, gmplayer, smplayer,  or occasionally xine for my video needs.
[10:08] <prince_jammys> anr78: in .bashrc, you can alias ls by adding:  alias ls='ls --color=auto'
[10:08] <silner> mehedi: I like mplayer, but you have to get the one from the medibuntu repo
[10:08] <ActionParsnip1> mehedi: i like mplayer
[10:08] <happy> mehedi: what is wrong with vlc?
[10:08] <prince_jammys> anr78: without that option, ls does not show colors.
[10:08] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/391/roll.jpg
[10:08] <leaf-sheep> A split-window bug, I suspect.
[10:09] <silner> mehedi: I like vlc too
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> Gadu1: thats how i roll, the bookmarks thing is googe oookmarks
[10:09] <anr78> prince_jammys: ah. you were right about the aliasing. my mind confused it with symlinks. the server had the alias, local .bashrc did not. thanks!
[10:09] <prince_jammys> anr78: welcome.
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> the VLC 1.0.x versions in the PPA repos have the video merged in with the controlls now.. as does the version in  9.10 :)
[10:10] <ActionParsnip1> vlc 1.0 plays nice with g1 phone too :)
[10:10] <silner> mehedi: mplayer plays real media streams better than vlc, or at least it did last time I tried, the recent move to v1.0 for vlc may have changed that.
[10:10] <Guest70105> hey wassup all
[10:11] <aar> Hi, when I resume the system from sleep mode the screen looks dark (as if on battery mode), despite the fact that it's connected to the mains. The screen also goes darker when I start mplayer. Why is this happening? (Kuuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron laptop)
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> realmedia workd good for me with mplayer also
[10:11] <blackmoon> hi, i've update openoffice (3.1.1) but alla icons in the toolbar are disappeared, i've got only the name...
[10:11] <mehedi> i use samsung wide screen LCD monitor. vlc does not cover the whole screen. but Dragon media player covers the whole monitor when i play video. (but this player a limited type of video format)
[10:12] <Fudge> any reported issues abotu karmic alpha5 wubi install with grub syntax errors?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip1> !karmic | fudge
[10:12] <phryk> Hi there. I want to install Ubuntu with wubi. But strangely wubi doesn't start at all. I execute it, i get the hourglass for a few seconds and nothing happens.
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> mehedi:  try the differnt 'video output' options in the vlc setting menus.
[10:12] <phryk> Is this known behaviour?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip1> phryk: did you md5 check the wubi installer?
[10:12] <mehedi> i use samsung wide screen LCD monitor. vlc does not cover the whole screen. but Dragon media player covers the whole monitor when i play video. (but this player  can  play a limited type of video format)
[10:12] <mehedi> ok
[10:12] <leaf-sheep> phryk: Don't use Karmic WUBI if that is what you were going for.
[10:12] <aaron11> so vic
[10:12] <ActionParsnip1> phryk: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded (if you downloaded one)
[10:13] <aaron11> is any0ne here
[10:13] <aaron11> hel00
[10:13] <phryk> leaf-sheep: karmic?
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  1325 people here.
[10:13] <phryk> ActionParsnip1: i didn't
[10:13] <Fudge> thank you
[10:13] <phryk> i thought wubi would dl one
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> phryk: why not?
[10:13] <leaf-sheep> phryk: Karmic or 9.10.  Either way.  Avoid them.  They're not ready... yet.
[10:13] <phryk> but i didn't md5check that
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> phryk: it can, but you still need to md5 the wubi installer
[10:14] <phryk> leaf-sheep: i took the current one, 9.04 rev129
[10:14] <phryk> ActionParsnip1: yeah, how do i md5check that under windows? I don't exactly have a shell here :/
[10:14] <Gadu1> ActionParsnip1: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1289516/roll.png
[10:14] <phryk> well okay, i have a dosbox, but that's not worth much
[10:14] <Gadu1> and that is now how I roll XD
[10:15] <ActionParsnip1> !md5 | phryk
[10:15] <aar> Hi, when I resume the system from sleep mode the screen looks dark (as if on battery mode), despite the fact that it's connected to the mains. The screen also goes darker when I start mplayer. Why is this happening? (Kuuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron laptop)

[10:17] <tvasht> hey my pc just got rebooted while i was watching youtube and now after rebooting there is no sound in firefox. movies etc sound is fine.
[10:17] <tvasht> what could be wrong now
[10:17] <tvasht> there is cracking noise
[10:18] <tvasht> please anyone help
[10:18] <phryk> md5check is successful
[10:18] <jasa> tvasht, what version of Ubuntu are you using ?
[10:18] <phryk> So what else could it be?
[10:18] <tvasht> 9.04
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> phryk: good
[10:19] <phryk> ActionParsnip1: Well yes but no^^
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> phryk: not sure really i hate wubi
[10:19] <tvasht> jasa, 2.6.27-7-generic 9.04
[10:19] <jasa> tvasht, if there is the old sound system on System->Prefs->Sound try putting all into alsa audio and restart the audio ...
[10:19] <phryk> Yeah, but I'm on an internship here and am not allowed to kill the partition or mess around with it
[10:19] <bobslaede> an ubuntu edgy server is creating faulty ssh public keys, how can i fix this?
[10:19] <nikolam> Hi. am I mission something, because I think JAVA does not work here on Hardy in ANY browser, except Opera..
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> phryk: could download and check the iso for wubi
[10:19] <nikolam> I use 64-bit Hardy
[10:20] <tvasht> jasa, but sound is fine everywhere else.
[10:20] <indus> nikolam: which version of java do u have
[10:20] <tvasht> jasa, its using pulse
[10:20] <jasa> tvasht, yes it could be that installing libflashsupport might help too ...
[10:20] <phryk> ActionParsnip1: But if wubi itself should do this it's no use as wubi doesnt even start...
[10:20] <nikolam> indus, i am checking in synaptic..
[10:20] <indus> nikolam: in a terminal, type sudo update-alternatives --config java
[10:20] <jasa> tvasht, that package gives you extra support for some audio things in flash.
[10:20] <ActionParsnip1> phryk: try rebooting your system then rerunning
[10:20] <phryk> already did that
[10:21] <tvasht> jasa, i was just watching youtube and everything was just fine. power cut ->reboot -> nosound only in firefox
[10:21] <nikolam> indus, *+        3    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
[10:22] <indus> nikolam: only 1?
[10:22] <tvasht> also the speed of video doubles  .. jasa
[10:22] <indus> nikolam: which site do u use to check java?
[10:22] <jasa> tvasht, that would be odd bug then, never seen that to happen.
[10:22] <nikolam> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/266550/
[10:22] <jasa> tvasht, doing reinstall on flash from synaptic doesn't help ?
[10:22] <tvasht> didn't try. should i jasa
[10:23] <nikolam> indus, I test Java with http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
[10:23] <jasa> tvasht, well if it's some config file corrupted it installs those again.
[10:23] <jasa> tvasht, cause of the powercut ... it could be possible if you were using that then
[10:23] <indus> nikolam: try this http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1
[10:24] <wizzo50> happy http://pastebin.com/m1429ad19 I have no sound through my speakers but do through my headphones
[10:24] <jasa> tvasht, you using xfs filesystem btw ?
[10:24] <tvasht> jasa, also when i open firefox my cpu usage goes to 100%. 84% used by npviewer.bin.
[10:24] <tvasht> ext3
[10:24] <indus> tvasht: use 64 bit flash
[10:24] <owen1> from some reason i can't see the video on this site - http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap .  is there a way to downlad the video? (i can't find it under tools
[10:25] <owen1> -> page info)
[10:25] <jasa> tvasht, hmm ... well it could be that there is some file "open stuck" in the browser ... (Yeah the 64bit flash from adobe labs myself too).
[10:25] <tvasht> indus, adobe?
[10:25] <nikolam> indus, nope, just rotating green dots and nothing.
[10:25] <jbu_> hi all, I have 4 GB of system RAM, but ubuntu's system monitor and the top command show that I have 2.5 GB only.  Does anyone know if it's a problem displaying information or if the system actually is only using 2.5 GB?
[10:25] <nikolam> when trying in konqueror, i get message, Your Java version is 1.6.0_0. Please click the button below to get the recommended Java for your computer.
[10:25] <indus> tvasht: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[10:25] <nikolam> firefox I ment
[10:26] <bobslaede> hi, any reason why ubuntu edgy makes ssh public keys that look like this: http://pastebin.com/d3519d536
[10:26] <jasa> tvasht, do few times "killall firefox" to remove all the instances if some of those seems to be running and doesn't "die" on closing the application.
[10:26] <indus> tvasht: extract the libflashplayer.so and move it to .mozilla/plugins
[10:26] <lilcoconut> hi everyone! could someone help me please?
[10:26] <jasa> indus, did he say he has x86_64 environment.
[10:26] <indus> nikolam: that version is good enough
[10:26] <jbu_> lilcoconut, just ask your question
[10:26] <lilcoconut> i want to watch a dvd on linux, but it wont work :( any idea how i can solve this problem?
[10:26] <indus> jasa: he says npviewer.bin so yes fair to aassume
[10:26] <tvasht> thank you indus jasa i'll try that
[10:26] <blackmoon> jbu_: i've 4GB and system show 3,8Gib
[10:27] <Like> :D
[10:27] <indus> tvasht: can u tell me the output of uname -m
[10:27] <jbu_> blackmoon, but that's more of what I would expect
[10:27] <codeshah> how do I get the current server itme?
[10:27] <indus> nikolam: in synaptic can u search for icedtea
[10:27] <tvasht> indus, x86_64
[10:27] <jbu_> blackmoon, because doesnt the kernel reserve some memory for itself?  Plus at one point (i think 8.10, 8.04) it was showing 4GB properly
[10:27] <blackmoon> jbu_: how  mamory con you see in the BIOS screen?
[10:27] <indus> tvasht: good so try the link i gave
[10:27] <jbu_> blackmoon, 4GB
[10:28] <jbu_> blackmoon, vista shows 4GB as well
[10:28] <indus> tvasht: but first, sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
[10:28] <tvasht> ok
[10:28] <nikolam> indus, installed icedtea 7 i think
[10:28] <jasa> tvasht, yeah you want the 64bit flash rather than use 3rd party addons to load 32bit one. -.-
[10:28] <jbu_> lilcoconut, http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands
[10:28] <nikolam> indus, but not a plugin..
[10:29] <indus> nikolam: hold on
[10:29] <blackmoon> jbu_: it's weird
[10:29] <indus> !java
[10:29] <jasa> jbu_, you need PAE kernel to show the memory amount right i think, physical address extension.
[10:29] <indus> nikolam: if you have new ubuntu 9.04 u get sun plugin original
[10:29] <nikolam> I use 8.04 LTS, 64-bit indus
[10:30] <jbu_> jasa, thanks, i'll look into it
[10:30] <indus> nikolam: ya now ther is a plugin for it too
[10:30] <maxagaz> which logs shall i check when epiphany crashes ?
[10:30] <indus> nikolam: why do u need java btw?
[10:30] <zealiod> how can i configure network/interfaces to accept and issue VLAN traffic?
[10:30] <phryk> 8.10 wubi works
[10:30] <zealiod> *issue DHCP to
[10:30] <jbu_> jasa, is that a module?  Why is that not on/enabled/included by default?
[10:30] <blackmoon> jasa: i've got standard kernel, and show 3,8GiB
[10:31] <nikolam> indus, I had to look some webcast the other day. After java not working in any browser on Ubuntu, I had to install opensolaris to just see webcast and that sucked.
[10:31] <jasa> jbu_, well i think it's enabled by default atleast on 64bit environment but not sure about 32bit ones and on Fedora there were some optional kernels around at some point.
[10:31] <indus> nikolam: give me that webcast link
[10:31] <tvasht> hey jasa indus .. i just removed flashplayer-nonfree and its working now. didn't install anything new. not even that file i dl from ur link.
[10:31] <owen1> from some reason i can't see the video on this site - http://www.infoq.com/presentations/nitobi-phonegap .  is there a way to downlad the video? (i can't find it under tools->page info)
[10:32] <jbu_> I feel like it's a simpler solution than that
[10:32] <indus> tvasht: hmm well ok then if that makes you happy
[10:32] <jbu_> ubuntu should just detect my 4GB of memory, it has before
[10:32] <tvasht> indus, jasa why did that happen?
[10:32] <jasa> jbu_, but i checked "pae" on synaptic and only thing i see on list for 64bit one is xen thing that says "This version of the hypervisor is built with support for systems with up to4GB of memory."
[10:32] <jbu_> jasa, not using xen
[10:32] <indus> tvasht: iam not sure what your problem was btw
[10:32] <jbu_> though I want to
[10:32] <nikolam> indus, just a min to find it etc. But it is generally that java don`t work, not just that webcast etc.
[10:32] <tvasht> indus, jasa k thanks anyways
[10:33] <indus> tvasht: the step i gave you removes flash so iam not sure what happened
[10:33] <jasa> tvasht, yeah ... but indeed if you need the flash you can't get that for 64bit one from normal adobe flash player site, you need to go labs.adobe ... -.-
[10:34] <indus> nikolam: try install icedtea-gcjwebplugin
[10:34] <tyoc> ubuntu 9.4 comes with python2.6 but I need to install python-yaml to 2.5, how I can do it?
[10:34] <tyoc> it is installed to 2.6
[10:34] <jasa> jbu_, well if you have x86 environment only and need the 4gb support it could go towards the thing you need to configure and compile your own kernel with physical address extension enabled.
[10:35] <indus> tyoc: you need to compile it with 2.5
[10:35] <tvasht> jasa, indus thanks thank you so much. that was very helpful
[10:35] <nikolam> indus, already installed, wiil try to reinstall.
[10:35] <indus> tvasht: welcome
[10:35] <tyoc> so, there is no "easy" install for 2.5?
[10:35] <indus> tyoc: this is easy too
[10:35] <blackmoon> jbu_: are you using ubuntu 64-bit, true?
[10:36] <jbu_> blackmoon, 32 bit
[10:36] <tvasht> indus, jasa and how do i find out if i have a 32 bit flash player or a 64 installed?
[10:36] <lowlycoder> is -log(-x) concave or conex?
[10:36] <blackmoon> jbu_: for 4gb of ram you must use 64-bit version
[10:36] <indus> tvasht: well,if u didnt install 64 bit,then u are running 32 bit with nspluginwrapper
[10:37] <indus> tvasht: i suggest try the 64 bit,crashes much less
[10:37] <jbu_> blackmoon, why? 32bit should be enough (2^32)
[10:37] <tvasht> indus, k thanks
[10:38] <wobue> 1
[10:38] <blackmoon> jbu_: no as jasa sayd, with 32bit you must enable PAE in the kernel, otherwise with 64bit you must do nothing
[10:38] <jbu_> blackmoon, ok I'll try it, thanks
[10:39] <blackmoon> jbu_: np
[10:39] <Flannel> jbu_: the -server kernel has PAE built in
[10:40] <tvasht> indus, i dont have a folder named "plugins" in /home/../.mozilla/ can i just create it and put "libflashplayer.so" in it?
[10:40] <indus> tvasht: yes
[10:40] <jbu_> Flannel, ah, I do not have the server version so I'm downloading the server headers right now
[10:41] <Flannel> jbu_: You can just install the server kernel: sudo apt-get install linux-server
[10:41] <jasa> tvasht, go to home folder with the explorer hit ctrl+h and go folder .mozilla make a folder there with name "plugins" and throw it there.
[10:41] <jbu_> Flannel, yeah that appears to be how to isntall PAE, in fact it's done installing now so I'll reboot and tell u guys how it went
[10:41] <jasa> tvasht, even if you use firefox don't go that folder the mozilla will work for that too.

[10:45] <indus> nikolam: ok never mind
[10:45] <indus> nikolam: hmm can u give me that paste again
[10:46] <jasa> admini123, you need to mount the partition with command: "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdX /folderToMount"
[10:46] <jbu_> for anyone interested:  I've installed the PAE kernel to try to get my system displaying the 4GB system RAMthat I have instead of 2.5 which it shows now and it failed to make a difference

[10:46] <russ> hi all, I need to run my laptop from a disk to solve a few probs with ubuntu. thing is, my cd reader is broken. I want to run from a USB pendrive, but I need to load it with an ubuntu IMG file
[10:46] <indus> tvasht: first you remove existing flash from system
[10:46] <jbu_> It looks like from some other posts I may need to blacklist some hardware to get all the memory to show
[10:46] <indus> tvasht: then restart browser
[10:46] <jbu_> blacklist some modules for my hardware

[10:48] <jbu_> I've had 4GB for a while now and only 8.10 seemed to ever have a problem with it
[10:48] <indus> nikolam: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[10:48] <jbu_> errrr 9.04
[10:48] <jasa> jbu_, yes but is there some old OS compability setting for less than 4gb support enabled ?
[10:48] <indus> nikolam: how many options u see?
[10:48] <jbu_> jasa, are you talking about an OS option? that's kind of what i'm looking for now.
[10:48] <jasa> jbu_, i don't recall those settings but there are usually some settings around you might need to change.

[10:54] <nikolam> admini123, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfs-config ntfsprogs
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> admini123:   You mount the windows filesystem to some location, then access the drive that way
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs3g
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> I think Im the only one that ever tells the installer where to mount my NTFS filesystems at...
[10:56] <nikolam> Dr_Willis, I put exact path in /etc/fstab
[10:56] <gigasoft> i have problem with fonts, i want to install new any help?
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> nikolam:  path? Huh? fstab is very specific in what info its needs/layout.
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> My windows drive fstab entry follows ..

[10:58] <nikolam> yes, something like that
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> i forget teh proper fmask for that.
[10:59] <nikolam> gigasoft, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> i never have understood why it wants a mask and not  just the actual permissions to use..

[10:59] <Dr_Willis> !mscorefonts
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> gigasoft:  the ubuntu-restricted-extras package will install the ms fonts if you want them also.

[11:01] <jedc> hi, how can i change the default desktop appearance and preferences for new users that are added?
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> jedc:  you could add the proper files to /etc/skel so the settings get copied to the newly addedusers default home dirs.
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> but im not sure what files you would want.
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> You could make a 'test' user. and set them up how you want. and then copy all their /home/testuser files to /etc/skel
[11:02] <hadi> i have debian and i want to install ubuntu on it how do i do it ?
[11:02] <jedc> Dr.

[11:04] <obst> Hello! Yesterday I played my favourite 3D-game and my computer crashed. After a reboot I can't run any 3d-accelerated applications anymore. glxgears gives me "couldn't get an RGB, Duble-buffered visual". Im using ubuntu jaunty and a recent ATI card with the fglrx drivers. Any ideas?
[11:04] <jedc> sorry im having trouble typing your name on this phone (no underscore) i think that will work for me
[11:04] <hadi> !Automate
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> ircing on a phone... thats.. amuseing
[11:05] <gnt64a> can anyone help me?
[11:05] <jasa> obst, you tried installing the drivers again if some file got corrupted upon crash ?
[11:05] <jedc> but where does adduser copy files from? yea no internet yet so doing ubuntu setup :p
[11:05] <admini123> how to mount windows folder
[11:05] <jasa> obst, also you should see what dmesg says about loading your fglrx driver.
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> admini123:  you mount the windows FILESYTEM then access the windows drive as if it was any other drive/folder.
[11:06] <jasa> admini123, mount -t ntfs "device" "wheretomount"
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> admini123:  see what jasa  says.. then you sould   access /wheretomount/Documents/Whatever/whever/Desktop/Porn  or whatever the path would be to the files
[11:07] <gnt64a> so i take it no one knows how to install a driver then?
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> gnt64a:  i rarely need to these days
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> gnt64a:  you might want to check the forums for that exact usb wirless gizmo and see if others have premade packages for it.
[11:07] <jasa> gnt64a, what was the question on ?
[11:07] <jezi22> guys how can i use curses.h in gcc?
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> or it may be they are allready there.. and you just need to configire it right
[11:07] <gnt64a> ok will do.
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> !find curses.h
[11:07] <bala> hi, i am unable to find any alsa related (snd_*) symbols in the ubuntu linux-image-debug-2.6.28-15-generic package. any idea why or how i can fix this?
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> jezi22:  proberly in some ncurses dev package.
[11:08] <jasa> bala, you compiled the drivers with gcc that was used on kernel ?
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> jezi22:  theres examples of curses programing out there.. i last had to use curses ages ato.
[11:08] <jasa> bala, also there is the new alsa out there 1.0.21, i recommend getting that from their pages if you plan to install new drivers around.
[11:08] <jezi22> i am trying to use it.. >__<
[11:09] <bala> jasa: i didnt compile. i installed the debug package from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/
[11:10] <jasa> bala, why you want some extra debugging ?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> :D
[11:10] <bala> jasa: going through the symbols in the debug image, there was not a single symbol starting with snd_
[11:10] <bala> jasa: i am trying to use systemtap
[11:11] <jasa> =)
[11:11] <bala> jasa: any particular reason why the sound related symbols are not present in the ubuntu package?
[11:14] <Dayofswords> tomorrow i'll install ubuntu....
[11:14] <jasa> bala, well i think im not the person you should ask that from really.
[11:14] <ActionParsnip1> Dayofswords: im doing mine today, new 250Gb SATA :D
[11:15] <Dayofswords> well its 3am here.... i dont feel like doing now =p
[11:15] <ActionParsnip1> Dayofswords: 11am here, GMT
[11:15] <jasa> Hmm, i noticed smart started on claiming i have 6 bad sectors on my other SATA drive. =(
[11:15] <bala> jasa: :). do you know how i could build a debug package?
[11:15] <tomas1> hey guys
[11:15] <Dayofswords> i'd like to update once i do but no internet
[11:16] <tomas1> just a question what will the difference be between 9.04 and 9.10
[11:16] <jasa> bala, get the drivers from page and check the "./configure --help" and it tells how to build those with debug things and remember on debian/ubuntu you need "--prefix=/usr" on configure too.
[11:16] <ActionParsnip1> tomas1: ask in #ubuntu+1
[11:16] <bala> jasa: thank you
[11:17] <Ileden> Hi! I'm using Aspire One (with UNR), and I have the Storage Expansion slot as constantly connected storage space. However, I've just learned that this disables my ability to suspend the machine! A Gentoo Wiki page references this problem, and suggest using LVM on the SD card - after that resume should work. I'm not familiar with LVM and the documentation on it goes really technical - it seems like a partition abstraction layer of sorts. I am familiar with partiti
[11:18] <bala> could someone tell me who maintains the kernel debug packages for ubuntu? (the ones found here http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ )
[11:18] <ActionParsnip1> Ileden: it is quite techy but research first and you will learn it
[11:19] <Spike1506> i was wondering if it is possible to make aliases on a ubuntu server
[11:19] <Ileden> ActionParsnip1: yeah, seems really techy. It'd be great to know whether I can use LVM on the SD card only, without messing with the rest of the system...
[11:20] <obst> jasa, I will reinstall the driver now. I looked at the logs but the only thing I can find is a couple of warnings in Xorg.0.log: "(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23" They continue up to 0x72.
[11:20] <Ileden> ActionParsnip1: Of course, I'd like to know whether it's just too messy solution to even start researching in the first place - but then again I'm the only one that can answer that. :)
[11:21] <jasa> obst, yeah fglrx doesn't support all those things around.
[11:21] <ActionParsnip1> Ileden: ive never had to use it tbh
[11:21] <ActionParsnip1> Ileden: im aware of it though
[11:22] <Spike1506> nice ban cleaning :p
[11:22] <aaron11> wtf
[11:22] <aaron11> is happening
[11:22] <pranav> how to install base system of from the latest Xubuntu CD ?
[11:22] <Ileden> ActionParsnip1: The main concern is that if I can use it on the SD card only, I do have a spare one I could try messing about with... but if I'd have to mess with the UNR installation itself, it's probably not worth the trouble.

[11:24] <Impy^> Hi i'm trying to get a partition to automount when i boot computer but it doesn't seem to be working, this is what i've added to fstab. /dev/sda2     /media/sda2     vfat         rw,users,auto,exec       0  0
[11:24] <Madpilot> aaron11, clearing really old bans. Pardon the housekeeping.
[11:24] <Impy^> anyone know what i'm doing wrong/
[11:24] <pranav> Impy^, I wanted to know that too, plz someone help us..
[11:25] <Impy^> i've been playing around with it for ages and can't seem to get it :/
[11:25] <jasa> Impy^, take away that auto option from that line.
[11:26] <Gullstad> Hello. I was wondering if it was possible to show usb live input from devices in therminal?
[11:26] <pranav> what are those all ?
[11:26] <Impy^> and that'll do it jasa?
[11:26] <jasa> Impy^, alsa you sure it's vfat and not ntfs ? ... but that auto option is mostly on cdroms and similiar.
[11:26] <Impy^> yeah i'm sure it's vfat
[11:26] <jasa> Impy^, pretty sure that should do that.
[11:26] <mord> Impy^: in fact, why not use "defaults" as options
[11:26] <doshimitul85> i need to configure network in ubntu
[11:26] <Impy^> i made it fat32 so icould access it in windows and ubuntu
[11:26] <doshimitul85> any body help me?
[11:27] <Impy^> i want to be able to read/write to it mord
[11:27] <jasa> Impy^, usually i have always defaults before those other options and then those small mods behind those ... but i guess it does it by "default" even ... =)
[11:27] <pranav> Impy^, And what do I do for NTFS ?
[11:27] <Impy^> and unmount my self
[11:27] <ActionParsnip1> Impy^: looks ok, just make sure the folder /media/sda2 exists
[11:27] <Impy^> yeah it exists
[11:28] <jasa> Impy^, defaults,rw,users
[11:28] <DaDa|Urka> svn export fails if the exportpath contains symbolic links - is that a bug? plz do not refer to #svn, noone is helping there
[11:28] <Impy^> defaults Uses the default options that are rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async.
[11:28] <pranav> So, is there a way to check without restarting..
[11:28] <ActionParsnip1> Impy^: could even add uid=1000 to the options
[11:28] <rick_w> Where does the system feedback harvested go to (the once in a week system stats)?
[11:28] <Impy^> what would that do actionparsnip1?
[11:28] <ActionParsnip1> Impy^: allow everyone full access
[11:28] <Impy^> ah
[11:29] <Impy^> i'll try that
[11:29] <Impy^> the thing is when i start comptuer the partition is showing up in computer
[11:29] <Impy^> but i just have to click it to access stuff
[11:29] <Impy^> and for music programs to access music there too?
[11:30] <silare> Does anyone know of a good MIDI player for Linux?
[11:31] <sam1> No, I do,'t know
[11:31] <ActionParsnip1> Impy^: linux can read and write to ntfs ok nowadays (some folders on system partitions arent editable but are certainly readable) but for simple data storage, ntfs is 100% fine
[11:31] <alankila> silare: timidity, I guess, is the only real option
[11:31] <ActionParsnip1> Impy^: its also more robust than fat32
[11:31] <silare> alankila: Alright... Thanks. Is it any good?
[11:31] <Impy^> ahh
[11:31] <ActionParsnip1> silare: timidity
[11:31]  * alankila shrugs
[11:31] <Impy^> will have to change it someday maybe
[11:32] <ActionParsnip1> !info timidity | silare
[11:32] <Impy^> actionparsnip1 so if i'm doing this right i won't need to click the partition first to play music in banshee?
[11:32] <silare> ActionParsnip1: Alright. There is no way to get it to play in Banshee/MPlayer/etc. then, right?
[11:32] <pranav> How to automount ntfs using fstab
[11:32] <pranav> ?
[11:32] <alankila> It plays stuff. Midi isn't very complicated, but the audio synthesis is with some sampled sounds and I don't think the sounds are very good. But that's fault of midi in general: it only plays correctly on the particular hardware/software combo you composed the stuff on
[11:32] <ActionParsnip1> Impy^: if you add it in fstab, it will simply be a folder, the kernel will manage the rest
[11:33] <Impy^> ahh okie dokie thanks for your help
[11:33] <Impy^> brb
[11:33] <sam1>  Does anyone know of a good channel for Ubuntu security ?
[11:34] <silare> alankila: Yeah... I'm not a MIDI fan myself, but I know a recent Linux convert who wants his MIDIs back. ._. And Banshee doesn't run it.
[11:34] <ActionParsnip1> sam1: here
[11:34] <ActionParsnip1> silare: midii is great, tiny files for music. good times
[11:35] <silare> ActionParsnip1: Back then, yes. But it has to be on the same type of device that wrote it. Otherwise it can sound REALLY messed up. o_O I'd love to hook up a MIDI sequencer from some of my old SNES games or so though. o_O
[11:35] <DefineByte> what options do i need to set in the kernel config (I'm compiling my own) to enable iptables?

[11:38] <user_> I need help to install LDAP and Radius on Ubuntu LTSP server
[11:38] <Ileden> I'm attempting to begin using LVM on an external SD drive, and I found a guide that seems like something to try. However, I'd like to clarify something about loading a module - at step 8. module needs to be added IF NOT USING Jaunty. I have Jaunty, so I can skip it. But at step 9. it talks about updating /etc/modules to autload LVM - can I skip this step too, since Jaunty already has the module "compiled into kernel"? The guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/
[11:39] <user_> can someone be of help
[11:39] <ActionParsnip1> sam1: hardly any to be useful
[11:39] <Callum_> something other than Red Hat-based distros supports LVM properly, Ileden?
[11:39] <ribatejo> hi, my gnome desktop is gone after installing lxde and updates
[11:40] <sam1> ActionParsnip1: lol, yes me to in english but i undertsand
[11:40] <Callum_> hell, gparted still doesn't have proper support for lvm2
[11:40] <ribatejo> fresh yesterday install
[11:40] <Ileden> Callum_: no idea, but it's an Ubuntu guide...
[11:40] <ribatejo> lxde works fine
[11:40] <ActionParsnip1> ribatejo: define "gone", you typ username and pass and select gnome as the desktop, what then happens
[11:40] <ribatejo> deleted the cache contents but still no go
[11:40] <ActionParsnip1> ribatejo: lxde is the bom!!
[11:40] <Ileden> Callum_: I really have no experience with LVM. Hadn't even heard of it before today...
[11:41] <sam1> ActionParsnip1: D you develop for Ubuntu ?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip1> sam1: no i just help in here
[11:41] <Callum_> Ileden, LVM is generally a Red Hat-based Linux distro thing
[11:41] <ActionParsnip1> !lvm
[11:41] <ribatejo> ActionParsnip1: yes, is good..my plan is to use it and have gnome as a backup
[11:41] <Callum_> never seen a fully functioning LVM system on another distro
[11:41] <sam1> ActionParsnip1: nice, okay
[11:41] <ActionParsnip1> ribatejo: what happens if you log onto gnome, what happens?
[11:41] <ribatejo> ActionParsnip1: with gone I mean that when I log in there is nothing in it but the wallpaper
[11:42] <ribatejo> not even right click
[11:42] <ActionParsnip1> !restorepanels

[11:42] <sam1> Does anyone develop for Ubuntu in here.?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip1> ribatejo: alt+f2 work?
[11:42] <ribatejo> actrionparsnip1: right click worked for a bit and I made a launcher for the terminal
[11:43] <ribatejo> ActionParsnip1: no
[11:43] <ribatejo> might have to remove gnome?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip1> ribatejo: log into lxde, then run: metacity --replace
[11:43] <ActionParsnip1> ribatejo: see if that flys
[11:43] <Ileden> Callum_: well, I'm not putting my whole system under it, only an external SD card... hopefully it'll work with Ubuntu too, we'll see.
[11:43] <ActionParsnip1> ribatejo: then see if you can run that comand
[11:44] <Callum_> I'd like to see proper LVM support in any Linux distro instead of just Fedora, RHEL and CentOS
[11:45] <Callum_> its a pretty nice way of doing things
[11:46] <Ileden> Callum_: my problem is that LVM isn't really used for what I'm trying to do (just one partition on one disk, mounted in its own directory), so the guides and documentation seem to (naturally) concentrate on other cases.
[11:46] <asm`> hey guys im in kubuntu and i minimized konquerer.. where the heck did it go?
[11:46] <asm`> did it close?
[11:47] <asm`> i dont see it
[11:47] <Callum_> why are you trying to use LVM for that, then?
[11:48] <Callum_> Ileden: LVM is mainly used for many many partitions spread over 1 or more drives
[11:48] <Callum_> or 1 over many drives, either way =P
[11:50] <Ileden> Callum_: I need to use it to get my Aspire One laptop to suspend when SD card is inserted. (I know, I know, it makes me laugh too :D)
[11:50] <Callum_> o_o
[11:50] <Callum_> heh
[11:51] <Ileden> Callum_: A gentoo wiki page mentioned that this might be a workaround for the suspend problem. :)
[11:51] <Madpilot> I've got LVM on one partition of one drive currently - the eventual plan is to throw a 2nd HDD in the machine and have a seamless /home
[11:51] <Ileden> acutally now that I've read more about LVM, it really seems like something I'd like to use regularly too :)
[11:51] <Callum_> I need to put a seamless /home on my machine, its annoying because every couple of months I reinstall my Linux distro, and starting out with different homes is annoying
[11:52] <Callum_> Actually, maybe I can load my home directory from my server...
[11:53]  * ikonia nods to Seveas 
[11:53] <pranav> "/dev/sda6	/media/sda6	vfat	rw,users,exec	0	0" works but cant write into it ??
[11:54] <Seveas> hello ikonia
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> pranav:  the 'users' option lets users mount/unmount it.. You need to use the proper uid/gid/ options or umask/dmask/fmask options to set the proper permissions
[11:56] <pranav> Dr_Willis, how can I make it read/write by everyone ?
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> umask=007,gid=46
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> pranav:  as i said.. USE the proper options
[11:56] <ribatejo> metacity --replace did not restore my gnome desktop
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> umask=007 might do it...
[11:57] <ribatejo> xsession errors had errors regarding policies and permisions..
[11:57] <ribatejo> removing gnome soon
[11:58] <pranav> Dr_Willis, I am on the wiki page of fstab, but what does the 007 and 46 Implies ?
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> 007 is the umask option thats used to set the file permissions by default
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> gid sets the default group who owns the files
[11:59] <pranav> Dr_Willis, does 007 means 111 which is RW_
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> 007 sets everything to --> -rwxrwxrwx   here
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> ive seen examples use umask=0000 also or 0222
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> try the diffrent #'s and see what changes. :) that one way to learn it
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/117255/  umask tutorial
[12:01] <pranav> Dr_Willis, Ok :) I have sda1 which is NTFS so what do I do to automount it ?
[12:01] <pranav> Dr_Willis, different is ?
[12:01] <Ileden> Callum_, Madpilot: So the idea seems to be to create a volume group (VG) on the disk, then creating a logical volume (LV) on it. Is this LV then then something that can be formatted as ext3? Can that then be mounted with fstab regularly, or do I need to use some LVM system to mount it?
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> pranav:  change fileysstem to ntfs instead of vfat
[12:02] <pranav> Dr_Willis, thats it ?
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> pranav:  bsaically
[12:02] <pranav> Dr_Willis, :)
[12:02] <Dr_Willis>  and have the proper umask and other options
[12:02] <Madpilot> Ileden, I honestly can't remember. I set my current LVM arrangement up a year ago, and have since forgotten all the gory details... sorry.
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> 777 Default Permissions
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> -022 Subtract umask value, for example
[12:03] <Callum_> Ileden: I think so
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> =755 Allowed Permissions
[12:03]  * Callum_ checks his /etc/fstab of his CentOS server
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> Ive never understood why theres just not a 'filepermissions=755' option...
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> but i guess thers some OLD skool grandfathered in logic to it
[12:04] <Callum_> Ileden: yes
[12:04] <Callum_> here is an example from my /etc/fstab on my CentOS system
[12:04] <pranav> Dr_Willis, =)
[12:04] <wabi> hello
[12:04] <Callum_> /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 2
[12:05] <craig> hello
[12:05] <wabi> I mount a samba share from our server via nautilus. When I try to access OpenOffice files from there they can't be loaded and can't be saved to this share. Any ideas?
[12:06] <DefineByte> what's the best way to stop sshd from loading automatically at boot? I want to start it from my own script instead, as required.
[12:06] <Ileden> Callum_: thanks! That makes sense. Well, it seems a simple LVM won't be beyond my skills after all... I'll have to try to be sure.
[12:07] <jrib> DefineByte: use sysv-rc-conf
[12:07] <Ileden> Need to do some backing up first, though. Just in case :)
[12:07] <jrib> DefineByte: or System -> Administration -> Services
[12:08] <DefineByte> jrib: thank you.
[12:08] <Darksoul69> I'm getting this error in wine X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
[12:08] <Darksoul69>  and I have been getting it since I setup VNC server to load up on boot rather then on signin..
[12:08] <Darksoul69> any ideas?
[12:08] <DefineByte> jrib: i don't have a gui
[12:08] <jrib> DefineByte: k, first one then :)
[12:08] <DefineByte> :)
[12:08] <Callum_> Ileden: no problem
[12:09] <thuglife999> Help required
[12:09] <AdvoWork> Hi there. ive got an ongoing problem that ive found no solutions for. I use terminal services in ubuntu to connect to a vista pc. Now and again, i have a problem where it looks like the shift key is being held down(windows opening in new rather than tabs etc). Its 100% related to this client, some how. Any ideas please?
[12:10] <jrib> !ask | thuglife999
[12:10] <thuglife999> I have a dual boot of win xp with ubuntu and i want to reinstall winxp
[12:10] <thuglife999> what steps do i need to follow
[12:10] <jrib> !grub > thuglife999
[12:10] <jrib> thuglife999: reinstall windows, then reinstall grub
[12:10] <thuglife999> jrib: i don't see any pvt message from you
[12:11] <thuglife999> ooh i got it
[12:11] <jrib> thuglife999: from ubottu, not me
[12:11] <nutttte> /list
[12:11] <thuglife999> jrib: i need to know i mean how to take the backup of grub and then how to write it back into winxp MBR
[12:11] <jrib> thuglife999: just reinstall it
[12:12] <jrib> thuglife999: follow the wiki
[12:12] <thuglife999> jrib: i am afraid i will surely lose things
[12:12] <jrib> thuglife999: you won't
[12:13] <thuglife999> ok let me read
[12:13] <jrib> thuglife999: back up your /boot/grub/menu.lst if you are worried but it shouldn't be overwritten if you follow the procedure on the wiki
[12:13] <thuglife999> jrib: that's i have done, if the backup means copy all the contents shown in munu.lst and save it some where else
[12:14] <jrib> thuglife999: sure
[12:14] <thuglife999> jrib: but lets suppose after reinstalling and getting xp back i won't see the same Gurb again coz its been over written
[12:14] <thuglife999> now i know that i have to use the live cd to access the ubutu terminal
[12:15] <thuglife999> now i have see sites tellllling diff things
[12:15] <jrib> thuglife999: well you would replace the menu.lst with  your backup, but that shouldn't change, you are just reisntalling grub to the mbr
[12:15] <thuglife999> how to recover from that saved file?????
[12:15] <jrib> thuglife999: come back here if that happens
[12:15] <thuglife999> jrib: ok listen
[12:16] <thuglife999> before i got for such procedure let me tell you what have i done till yet
[12:16] <pranav> Dr_Willis, should I write "ntfs-3g" instead of ntfs ?
[12:16] <thuglife999> jrib: i have copied all the contents of that file named menu.lst into seperate drive and its saved in .txt extension
[12:17] <thuglife999> and nothing else.... tell me ... is it fair to go straight for deleting winxp and reinstalling it ????
[12:17] <thuglife999> while i won't lose my ubuntu
[12:17] <jrib> thuglife999: yes, just make sure you tell the win xp not to mess with the ubuntu partitions
[12:18] <thuglife999> jrib: sure... i have a seperate partation for winxp and ubuntu
[12:18] <thuglife999> i am going to fromate my c drive which has winxp installed

[12:24] <ikonia> AdvoWork: which version exactly
[12:24] <Like> ikonia I have trubbles after install that plug in in my consoleeeeeeee debuggeeeerrrr :@
[12:24] <ikonia> Like: that has nothing to do with a google search, please don't use silly words like consoleeeeeeee debuggeeeerrrr
[12:25] <Like> ok ty
[12:25] <AdvoWork> ikonia, im unsure, thats the version im using, dont know what to upgrade to?
[12:25] <ikonia> AdvoWork: well there is 8.10/9.04 and the beta 9.10
[12:26] <ikonia> AdvoWork: do you have some specific reason to upgrade
[12:27] <AdvoWork> ikonia, no particular reason, but isnt it a good idea?
[12:27] <DeannaT2> AdvoWork, with uname -r you got your version in terminal
[12:27] <ikonia> AdvoWork: you're on an LTS (long term support) versio of ubuntu, unless you have reason to upgrade to a non-LTS verson (8.10/9.04/9.10) I would not advise it as you'll be better served/supported on your current release.
[12:28] <AdvoWork> ikonia, ahh ok
[12:30] <DefineByte> Ok, I guess this question was inevitable: how do you set it so that a user can start/stop a service/daemon? It seems I'm the only person on the internet trying to do this. Maybe there's a reason for that. >.>
[12:30] <ikonia> DefineByte: create a sudo rule for that user/group
[12:30] <C--> hello
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> DefineByte:  one way would be to set up sudo to allow the 'service' command to be ran by that user. I think.
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> but that may allow all services..
[12:31] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: nope you can set the specific command
[12:31] <DefineByte> ikonia: i seem to remember doing somthing like that for halt. thanks, i'll have to look it up.
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> Why does a user even need to start/stop a service? what is your script doing.
[12:31] <ikonia> DefineByte: that's it, set it to a specific command and it will work fine, like halt
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> ikonia:   so 'service ssh start' is valid :)
[12:31] <geekphreak> evening all
[12:32] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: totally
[12:32] <cornet> Dr_Willis: what's reason for this - I might be able to suggest something else
[12:32] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: or use the path to the init script
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> a 'bad' way would be to use 'suid' stuff. :)
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> cornet:  DefineByte  is trying to start stop a service as a user for some reason not me
[12:33] <cornet> wah
[12:33] <cornet> sorry
[12:33] <i00nsu> hi ppl, is possible to use DNS in a LAN that all PC's are in DHCP?
[12:34] <cornet> DefineByte: what's reason for this - I might be able to suggest something else
[12:34] <DefineByte> Dr_Willis: because i don't want sshd running all the time. It's for a jukebox so most of the time it's just playing music. :)
[12:34] <DefineByte> cornet: see ^ :)
[12:34] <ikonia> i00nsu: yes
[12:35] <DefineByte> maybe I'm just being paranoid
[12:35] <cornet> DefineByte: I think you probably are . Just run ssh, disable passwords, use keys and set UsePAM No  in sshd_config
[12:36] <grawity> cornet: Disabling PAM?
[12:36] <davide> Hi, Is it a known issue that Ubuntu 9.04 no longer connects to my network/internet after suspend function is used?
[12:36] <cornet> grawity: yes, or reconfigure PAM so that it doesn't allow passwords over ssh
[12:36] <humancomp> i m using 9.054 remix and its
[12:37] <humancomp> working correctly
[12:37] <cornet> grawity: if you've set a password for a user then even if you disable password auth in sshd_config it will STILL let you log in with a password as it'll pass PAM authentication
[12:37] <grawity> cornet: No, reconfigure _sshd_ - by disabling PasswordAuthentication.
[12:37] <i00nsu> ikonia: how? send me a link that explain that for me please
[12:37] <DefineByte> cornet: it's just, i've got a kernel without iptables configured and I thought it would be safest. I've already setup keys, disabled root login, disabled passwords. I'll look into PAM. thanks.
[12:37] <DefineByte> or not? do i not need to worry about that grawity?
[12:37] <grawity> cornet: I'll try :|
[12:37] <cornet> DefineByte: try logging in with password over ssh
[12:38] <DefineByte> i have and i can't
[12:38] <grawity> (Don't forget that you must restart sshd after editing configs)
[12:38] <DefineByte> yes, i set it up last week. i thinks it's solid
[12:38] <DefineByte> but never changed anything about PAM
[12:38] <cornet> humm, looks like this issue might have been sorted on ubunutu then
[12:39]  * cornet tests
[12:39] <grawity> cornet: Don't forget to disable KbdInteractiveAuthentication too.
[12:39] <DefineByte> what's that?
[12:39] <grawity> KbdInteractive kinda simulates a local login: it sends a prompt, you type a reply... (Usually, it's just one "Password:" prompt, but can be more.)
[12:40] <asm`> hey guys im in kubuntu and i minimized konquerer.. where the heck did it go? it disappears totaly.
[12:40] <davide> Hi, Is it a known issue that Ubuntu 9.04 no longer connects to my network/internet after suspend function is used?  Does anyone have this problem or has been able to work around it?
[12:40] <grawity> PasswordAuthentication, on the other hand, uses _only_ a single password.
[12:40] <grawity> So disable both.
[12:40] <DefineByte> well, i've set usepam to no anyway, i guess it can't hurt
[12:40] <DefineByte> thanks i'll ltry and find it :D
[12:40] <grawity> DefineByte: I recommend keeping PAM enabled.
[12:40] <DefineByte> really? x)
[12:41] <DefineByte> ok, why's that?
[12:41] <cornet> looks like i could be wrong
[12:42] <DefineByte> i'm not seeing anything about kbdinteractiveauth. should i create it?
[12:42] <Ileden> Ok, here's a beginnerish question: I was "mv"ing a directory to another volume, but had inefficient permissions for some of them. I'd now like to continue the mv with sudo permissions, but mv command fails because the destination already has a part of the original source... how do I do "mv" with appending the files?
[12:42] <ce_edan> opHa
[12:43] <C--> I hope i dont disturb.
[12:43] <C--> First of all i dont speek english very good, but i think you are able to understand me. ;)
[12:43] <C--> Now the question: i have created a bootable usb-device with unetbootin and if i install a program in the "Live - System", after shut down the program isnt installed more. Can i change it?
[12:43] <FloodBot2> C--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:43] <C--> your C--
[12:43] <grawity> DefineByte: Yes, add a "KbdInteractiveAuthentication no" to sshd_config
[12:43] <DefineByte> grawity: is it case-sensitive?
[12:44] <grawity> DefineByte: Probably no.
[12:44] <human_> hello every one
[12:44] <geekphreak> human_: hello
[12:44] <C--> hello human_ :)
[12:44] <DefineByte> so KbdInteractiveAuthentication no UsePAM yes?
[12:44] <grawity> DefineByte: Yep
[12:44] <grawity> DefineByte: And PasswordAuthentication no, too
[12:44] <DefineByte> thanks a lot :)
[12:45] <human_> i installed the ubuntu in my new machine but after the installation gets completed it says display out of range>> Please help me out
[12:45] <Guest17020> f
[12:45] <grawity> C--: What unetbootin creates is basically the same as a LiveCD. To be able to save changes, you'll need to make it use a "persistent overlay"... I don't know how to set up one though.
[12:46] <DefineByte> grawity: seems like i've already set that. :)
[12:46] <DefineByte> so i'm locked now then? :)
[12:46] <DefineByte> once a restart sshd/
[12:46] <Ileden> I have: "source/dir/newfile" and "destination/dir/oldfile" - only with a huge amount of files. I want to move "mv source/dir destination/", but it fails because "destination/dir" already exists. How do I do this?
[12:47] <C--> grawity: perhaps sombody else knows it :) but thanks for your help
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> unetbootin cant make a peristant save from what ive seen. The Usb-creater tool in ubuntu can. or the scripts at pendrivelinux.org (com?) also tell you how
[12:47] <geekphreak> Ileden: name destination folder something else?
[12:48] <C--> where can i find the usb-creator
[12:48] <DefineByte> ok, i think i'll scrap the "user starting sshd" idea. thanks all. :)
[12:48] <grawity> What was the "user starting sshd" idea?
[12:49] <Ileden> geekphreak: I want the files to end up in the same place... also in reality there's a huge amount of subdirs too.
[12:49] <DefineByte> i was going to only start sshd in a user script if certain conditions were met.
[12:50] <cornet> grawity: well cheers for that. I can only assume i've missed that in the past because it's not documented in the man page sshd_config (useful)
[12:50] <geekphreak> Ileden: try mv -i /data /new_data
[12:50] <ribatejo> ot my gnome panels working but both: lxde and gnome panel
[12:50] <grawity> geekphreak: -n actually
[12:50] <human_> i installed the ubuntu in my new machine but after the installation gets completed it says display out of range>> Please help me out
[12:50] <silare> If I were interested in starting theming for GNOME, are there any places that have specific TUTORIALS/GUIDES that would help? >_>
[12:50] <grawity> cornet: These both are documented :|
[12:50] <geekphreak> grawity: aint -i interactive?
[12:50] <grawity> geekphreak: And you'd need to press [n] for every file.
[12:51] <cornet> grawity: KbdInteractiveAuthentication is not documented in sshd_config
[12:51] <geekphreak> grawity:  gotcha, ty :)
[12:51] <grawity> cornet: Huh...it isn't O_o
[12:52] <cornet> grawity: it's mentioned once w.r.t to "Match" and has a descrpition in ssh_config but not in sshd_config (where it should be IMO)
[12:52] <Ileden> grawity: -n is an invalid option...
[12:52] <grawity> Ileden: Probably GNU-specific then.
[12:52] <grawity>   -n, --no-clobber             do not overwrite an existing file
[12:52] <grawity> :/
[12:53] <C--> Dr_Willis, do you mean the program listed in System->Preferences ,that is called Make "USB Startup disk"?
[12:53] <geekphreak> :d
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> C--:  yes,
[12:53] <C--> thanks
[12:55] <Ileden> geekphreak: mv -i asks to overwrite "dir", and cannot do that since it's not empty...
[12:56] <Twinkletoes|W> After following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication, I still can't login using ldap against Active Directory.  The error I'm getting is "pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown".  Is there anything I should be looking at which might help solve this?
[12:56] <geekphreak> Ileden: hmmm
[12:57] <Ileden> I'd imagine this is a simple thing... moving from source to destination, appending to existing folders when appropriate.
[12:58] <spud|work> hi
[12:58] <spud|work> http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/ie_wine_install.html
[12:58] <spud|work> im following this, but my file ~/.wine/conf is empty
[12:58] <spud|work> is there some special place to find it in the ubuntu version?
[13:00] <Ileden> What I'm searching for is the move equivalent of "cp -a source/dir destination/"
[13:04] <Ileden> Oh well, I can just use cp, and remove the files after... but this seemed like something that would get a simple answer in few secs. :)
[13:05] <grawity> loz_: Yes - but don't forget that formatting destroys all data.

[13:06] <loz_> grawity: so it does... well thanks for the info, i thought that might have been the problem, but it is strange as the problem has only occured since i freshly installed jaunty,do you think that it will speed transfer time up once formatted? the transfer time is round the 10 MB/s
[13:06] <grawity> loz_: I don't know about the speed :|
[13:07] <yancey> hellow,himanshurauthan ,i suggest you can try ¡°wine-doors¡± or ¡°playonlinux¡±¡·
[13:07] <asm`> how do i install kubuntu apps package?
[13:07] <loz_> grawity: well it's worth a try!
[13:07] <grawity> loz_: But it might be related to FAT32 too... it's a really old filesystem.
[13:08] <chrisb> loz_: hdparm will tell you if dma is set, maybe other optimisations as well.
[13:08] <loz_> grawity: i think gparted will tell me what file extension it is
[13:08] <kahen> yancey: your quotes are coming out horribly garbled here. try setting the encoding in your irc client to utf-8
[13:08] <grawity> loz_: Filesystem, not file extension
[13:08] <loz_> chrisb: do you have a command for me? i could not seem to get hdparm working
[13:09] <loz_> grawity: oops, my bad
[13:09] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[13:09] <yancey> kahen: ok
[13:09] <asm`> how do i install ubuntu apps package?
[13:09] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: depends what apps you want
[13:10] <loz_> grawity: yep, it is fat32
[13:10] <chrisb> loz_: hdparm /dev/hda or hdparm /dev/sda
[13:10] <asm`> last i remembered ubuntu came with hundreds of apps
[13:10] <asm`> i installed kubuntu this time theres 0 apps pretty much
[13:11] <yancey> kahen: ok
[13:11] <RaaG> i want to install Team Viewer on Ubuntu
[13:11] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: it comes with a fair few, you can run: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and get all the apps that come with ubuntu
[13:11] <kahen> yancey: or turn off any "friendly quotes" feature it may have. Word has a similar problem where it produces "nice" curly quotes that totally break things if you try and paste in a terminal :)
[13:11] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: kubuntu comes with its own slew of apps
[13:11] <RaaG> for windows remote desktop
[13:12] <geekphre1k> RaaG: ubuntu has its own remote tools ;)
[13:12] <ActionParsnip1> RaaG: its windows and mac only
[13:12] <loz_> chrisb: dev/sda:
[13:12] <loz_>  IO_support    =  0 (default)
[13:12] <loz_>  readonly      =  0 (off)
[13:12] <loz_>  readahead     = 256 (on)
[13:12] <loz_>  geometry      = 43777/255/63, sectors = 703282608, start = 0
[13:12] <FloodBot2> loz_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:12] <loz_> loz@lozgeek:~$
[13:12] <geekphre1k> hmmm
[13:12] <ActionParsnip1> RaaG: ubuntu comes with rdesktop which you can use to connect the terminal services
[13:12] <IdleOne> !paste | loz_
[13:12] <JeoTheLeo> hello
[13:12] <asm`> i dont see them action
[13:13] <JeoTheLeo> I was checking my log and there seems to be a problem
[13:13] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: see what?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: and tab complete my name ;)
[13:13] <asm`> ActionParsnip1: kubuntu apps.
[13:13]  * grawity kicks all three FloodBots.
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: look in the k menu
[13:14] <JeoTheLeo> every time I boot/reboot the kernel inspects system map and gives an error "Cannot find map file"
[13:14] <JeoTheLeo> how do I make a map file?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: kuuntu come with konqueror, amarok, kate, kwrite, dragon player etc
[13:14] <asm`> yea i see those, thats like 5-6 apps bro.
[13:14] <RaaG> ok but have any tool for remote desktop for view windows os
[13:15] <asm`> i coulda swore ubuntu came with option to install hundreds
[13:15] <grawity> ActionParsnip1: s/konqueror/Firefox+Dolphin/, I think.
[13:15]  * ZKoss laugh at floodbots xd
[13:15] <IdleOne> asm`: so does kubuntu
[13:15] <ActionParsnip1> grawity: not sure really. i think its in there still. i dropped flakey kde a while back
[13:15] <asm`> idleone: okay how do i see them or install them?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: you can run either DEs apps in kubuntu or ubuntu, its all the same
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> fire up the package manager.. start installing...
[13:16] <IdleOne> asm`: using kubuntu's package manager. I don't know what it is called
[13:16] <ActionParsnip1> asm`: so if you want you can run dolphin in ubuntu, it doesnt matter
[13:16] <chrisb> loz_: hdparm /dev/sda has no dma output?
[13:16] <JeoTheLeo> every time I boot/reboot the kernel inspects system map and gives an error "Cannot find map file"
[13:16] <JeoTheLeo>  how do I make a map file?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip1> chrisb: try   hdparm -T /dev/sda
[13:17] <IdleOne> asm`: if you want specific kubuntu help you can also /join #kubuntu
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> I was thinking hdparm isent used as much as it used to be.
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> The dma stuff was supposed to be automatically enavbled these days
[13:18] <gnusar> i am struggling with changing the shared memory.... umount /dev/shm does return that the device is in use... fuse and lsof did not help to find the process accessing
[13:18] <ActionParsnip1> JeoTheLeo: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/cannot-find-map-file-689274/page2.html
[13:18] <JeoTheLeo> thanks
[13:18] <loz_> chrisb: what does this mean?
[13:18] <jac0b> i was reading about the new 2.6.31 kernel. Can I get that on jaunty?
[13:19] <chrisb> loz_: try hdparm -T /dev/sda
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> When you specify the option --device-map (see Basic usage), the grub shell creates the device map file automatically unless it already exists. The file name /boot/grub/device.map is preferred.
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Device-map.html
[13:20] <gnusar> any thoughts on my shared memory issue? :)
[13:20] <chris|> jac0b, you can grab the kernel from Karmic and install it into Jaunty
[13:20] <jac0b> is that the supposed 2.6.31 that is supposed to speed up the computer
[13:21] <jac0b> I was reading it on digg lastnite
[13:21] <pranav> Anyone know a quite cool assembler for linux ?
[13:21] <pranav> like tasm
[13:21] <chris|> well, that depends on what you mean by "speed up the computer"
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> !find tasm
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> !info yasm
[13:22] <sipior> pranav: not often one sees "cool" and "assembler" in the same sentence.
[13:22] <geekphre1k> lol
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> 'jumbo shrimp'
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> :)
[13:23] <IdleOne> `windows security` :P
[13:23] <grawity> 'Microsoft Works'
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> 'user friendly'
[13:23] <kahen> 'military intelligence'
[13:23] <geekphre1k> IdleOne: window has security really?
[13:23] <Mez> hmm, anyone know some good software for creating network diagrams ?
[13:24] <grawity> geekphre1k: It does, just not by default.
[13:24] <geekphre1k> lol
[13:24] <spud|work> ill be honest with you guys, ive not had windows viruses since XP sp3
[13:24] <spud|work> before then it was unusable...
[13:24] <IdleOne> geekphre1k: My XP install says it is the safest and most secure windows ever
[13:24] <spud|work> lol
[13:24] <spud|work> all subjective terms, they can say what they like if its subjective.
[13:24] <IdleOne> but !ot
[13:25] <geekphreak> it is how you set it up i guess :)
[13:25] <spud|work> uhm wait, it does say "most secure *windows* ever"
[13:25] <mijap> lol you're talking about this buggy thingy called XP? :P
[13:25] <spud|work> well if you dont plug it into a network...
[13:25] <mijap> YUKK
[13:25] <kahen> IdleOne: well... their competition in that category wasn't doing so hot so it wasn't that hard to top
[13:26] <grawity> Compared to older releases, XP is secure. Compared to newer releases, XP is buggy. Compared to Linux... these things just can't be compared.
[13:26] <mijap> lol
[13:26] <chris|> jac0b, you should keep in mind though that 2.6.31 is still not stabe yet, so if you are not familiar juggling around with kernels you should probably wait for karmic to ship it
[13:26] <IdleOne> grawity: like comparing oranges to a Ferrari
[13:26] <yancey1> nick yancey
[13:27] <grawity> IdleOne: More like a truck to a Ferrari.
[13:27] <IdleOne> /nick yancey
[13:28] <jac0b> chris|, its cool I am just messing around I don't mind if it is not stable
[13:28] <Like> :))))))))))))
[13:28] <grawity> IdleOne: Actually, I've read _In The Beginning Was The Command Line_, it kinda compares Linux with a tank.
[13:28] <geekphreak> this kde install will take time :(
[13:29] <ActionParsnip1> spud|work: just because they say it doesnt make it true ;)
[13:29] <yancey1> hellow,i'm back
[13:29] <chris|> jac0b, you can grab a kernel deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-image-2.6.31-9-generic
[13:29] <spud|work> ActionParsnip1: as i said, its subjective... you can say what you like if its an opinion
[13:29] <geekphreak> yancey1: welcome back :)
[13:29] <Murrlin> morning all
[13:29] <Murrlin> is this line valid?  cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#*
[13:29] <ActionParsnip1> spud|work: indeed
[13:30] <Murrlin> if it is, then I'm just getting "none found" normally
[13:30] <spud|work> opinions are like anuses. everybody's got one but you dont want to listen to other peoples
[13:30] <geekphreak> grawity: for me windows and linux are like husband and wife, they never agree with each other :)
[13:30] <brent__> I messed up firefox.......... can anyone tell me how to uninstall it ... i need to do a fresh install of it
[13:30] <grawity> spud|work: +1, and /ubottu/factoids/offtopic
[13:30] <ActionParsnip1> spud|work: and no one opinion is more valid than another
[13:30] <yancey1> geekphreak : /nick yancey
[13:31] <geekphreak> yancey1: excuse me?
[13:31] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: see what you started...all this !ot going on now
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> Ok.. whch is better? vi or emacs? :)
[13:31] <grawity> Both.
[13:31] <geekphreak> Dr_Willis: hehe :)
[13:31] <IdleOne> NO!!!
[13:31] <yancey> geekphreak: thank you
[13:32] <spud|work> Dr_Willis: provide an objective, contextual definition of "better" and we will analyse the variables and give you a result.
[13:32]  * sipior goes for popcorn.
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> spud|work:  gets more chicks...
[13:32] <rabidweezle> what's the name of that app that gives you a mouse cursor in a tty console? it's like 2 or 3 letters like gm or something like that
[13:32] <brent__> anyone... help me uninstall firefox pleaseeeeeeee
[13:32] <yancey> :)
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> rabidweezle:  gpm
[13:32] <geekphreak> rabidweezle: gpm
[13:32] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: then i'm better than both ;)
[13:32] <rabidweezle> thanks
[13:32] <rabidweezle> needed a little memory job
[13:32] <ActionParsnip1> brent__: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[13:32] <rabidweezle> jog*
[13:32] <IdleOne> brent__: why do you want to do that?
[13:33] <chrisb> brent__: how did you install it?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip1> brent__: if you want to delete old settings then run: rm -rf ~/.mozilla
[13:33] <brent__> i F'd it up
[13:33] <ActionParsnip1> IdleOne: its a sucky memory hog?
[13:33] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip1: ok
[13:33] <IdleOne> +1 ActionParsnip1
[13:33] <brent__> i need to delete an add on............ but it won't let me get to the add on manager
[13:34] <JeoTheLeo> what should be written in device.map?
[13:34] <IdleOne> !highjack
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> brent__:   removeing firefox will not remove the USERS settings in their home dirs.
[13:34] <ActionParsnip1> brent__: run: firefox -safe-mode   then uninstall the addon
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> JeoTheLeo:  http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Device-map.html
[13:34] <JeoTheLeo> thanks
[13:34] <brent__> start ubuntu in safe mode?
[13:35] <brent__> or can i open firefox in a safemode?
[13:35] <mobile_> exit
[13:35] <IdleOne> brent__: run in terminal firefox -safe-mode
[13:35] <spud|work> linux doesnt have a "safe mode" as such
[13:35] <spud|work> firefox does
[13:35] <rabidweezle> now here's a good one, I got 3 usb ports on this (new) laptop, when I stick my wireless mouse nub into port 3, it doesn't work, dmesg says it can't enumerate the device, when I stick it in 1 or 2, it works fine, any way to fix this?
[13:35] <ActionParsnip1> brent__: no start firefox in safemode
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> JeoTheLeo:  my devic.map = 2 lines..
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> hdparm -T /dev/sda
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> oops
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> (hd0)/dev/sda
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> (hd1)/dev/sdb
[13:35] <ActionParsnip1> spud|work: it kinda does but i know what you mean
[13:35] <FloodBot2> Dr_Willis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:36] <geekphreak> Dr_Willis:  :)
[13:36] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: hdparm needs sudo
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. spaces got ate up...
[13:36] <JeoTheLeo> I see
[13:36] <chrisb> spud|work: yeah! ... single user
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> (hd1)   /dev/sdb
[13:36] <spud|work> eww
[13:36] <spud|work> basically "safe mode" means disabling fancy smancy stuff which might go wrong; most oses have it.
[13:36] <spud|work> i dunno how you would do it in linux
[13:37] <geekphreak> ubuntu has recue mode , works good for me , i need it most times, heheh :)
[13:37] <geekphreak> rescue*
[13:38] <brent__> action parsnip-  where do i learn all those types of commands?
[13:38] <grawity> geekphreak: That's basically single user mode with an extra menu.
[13:38] <geekphreak> grawity: agreed
[13:39] <geekphreak> brent__: which types?
[13:39] <anr78> I need to get an USB-Ethernet adapter. Is there a resource I can consult to find out which ones work on Ubuntu?
[13:39] <brent__> well.... i don't really know any commands...
[13:39] <brent__> lol
[13:39] <ActionParsnip1> brent__: experience lad.
[13:39] <brent__> i'd like to learn so i don't have to ask all the time
[13:40] <ActionParsnip1> brent__: websearch when you need them
[13:40] <geekphreak> brent__: also learn to read man pages :)
[13:40] <brent__> haha yep I spent about an hour trying to fix it myself
[13:40] <ActionParsnip1> !hcl | anr78
[13:40] <IdleOne> brent__: asking is how you learn
[13:40] <chrisb> brent__: google "fullcircle"
[13:41] <anr78> ActionParsnip1: thanks
[13:41] <brent__> parsnip--  firefox is fixed!
[13:41]  * rabidweezle notes that kubuntu might as well install firefox by default concidering every friggan installs it anyway
[13:41] <brent__> thank you
[13:41] <JeoTheLeo> ok I'm still lost
[13:41] <ActionParsnip1> brent__: good lad
[13:41] <IdleOne> brent__: :)
[13:42] <brent__> i was looking for an add on that would allow me to see IE pages in firefox
[13:42] <brent__> so i installed one...
[13:43] <brent__> and it messed everyting up lol
[13:43] <chrisb> brent__: http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ for a start
[13:43] <brent__> thank you
[13:43] <Otacon22> Soneone can help me to understand how to do a reverse ssh tunnel?
[13:44] <brent__> i will have a look around
[13:44] <hugleo> hi
[13:44] <brez> Otacon22: what do you mean 'reverse' ssh tunnel?
[13:44] <grawity> brez, Otacon22: I guess the ssh -R option?
[13:44] <Otacon22> brez, my computer is behind a router and i want to put an apache server on my pc...
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> is a reverse tunnle a bridge?
[13:44] <hugleo> Are there a Grub package to Ubuntu 8.10 to support ext4 boot? I have other operating system in dual boot using ext4 partitions
[13:44] <brez> oh
[13:44] <Otacon22> so i want to connect myself by ssh to an external server
[13:45] <Otacon22> and then say to it to send connections from port 80 to my pc
[13:45] <Otacon22> understood?
[13:45] <brez> si
[13:46] <pranav> how to install just base system from ubuntu bootable disc ?
[13:46] <LjL> i have an ATI RV350 card and i was wondering if there's a way to check its temperature (no, i don't know whether it has a sensor in the first place)
[13:46] <IdleOne> !minimal
[13:46] <grawity> Otacon22: On the Apache server, ssh -R 80:apacheserveraddress:80 -- the first 80 is what port ssh will listen on; and don't forget that ports lower than 1024 require root access.
[13:46] <Otacon22> apacheserveraddress is the external server?
[13:47] <grawity> Otacon22: No, it's the server you're running Apache on.
[13:47] <Otacon22> so localhost
[13:47] <grawity> No :|
[13:47] <Otacon22> i can't access to here from the other server
[13:47] <grawity> Or... yeah, localhost _might_ work
[13:47] <geekphreak> take care all, cya :)
[13:47] <Otacon22> i have to start the connection from here
[13:47] <Otacon22> ssh -R 80:localhost:80 root@externalserveraddress
[13:49] <grawity> Otacon22: That should work.
[13:49] <grawity> Otacon22: If it doesn't, add a -v option.
[13:49] <Otacon22> -v ?
[13:49] <Otacon22> verbose
[13:49] <Otacon22> ok
[13:51] <pranav> can "dsl" use all packages of ubuntu repositories ?
[13:51] <LjL> pranav: why don't you ask in the DSL channel?
[13:53] <grawity> pranav: Is 'dsl' Debian-based?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> DSL is not debian based last i checed
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> and its defaintaly not Ubuntu based
[13:53] <erUSUL> LjL: use sensors-detect to actually find out if there is a temp sensor in your vga card? (nice to see you again btw)
[13:53] <JeoTheLeo> anyone knows anything about the System map error?
[13:54] <LjL> hi erUSUL, yeah i've done it but it doesn't detect anything, but i didn't know whether i was supposed to in the first place
[13:55] <erUSUL> LjL: it does for my nvidia card. can not help further.
[13:55] <pranav> grawity, yes
[13:55] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: a System.map is generally built along with the kernel. have you recently built a new kernel on your machine?
[13:55] <David-T> anyone else having problems with clamav? Specifically /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd keeps getting corrupted somehow (i'm guessing due to freshclam), and so my mail silently grinds to a halt until i delete main.cvd & run freshclam... this only started happening a few weeks ago, but has now happened about 4 times...
[13:55] <JeoTheLeo> yes sipior
[13:55] <Akalbulusikus> How can i know the root password?
[13:56] <grawity> Akalbulusikus: There is none.
[13:56] <erUSUL> !root | Akalbulusikus
[13:56] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: then you can find a System.map in the build directory. place it in /boot, preferably renamed to match the current kernel version.
[13:56] <LjL> erUSUL: a forum i'm reading does hint there may not be any sensor in this card, i don't trust forums much but maybe it's not worth investigating further. i'm mostly just trying to find out what's the biggest culprit for my computer heating up the surrounding air 4°C =)
[13:57] <JeoTheLeo> errrm build directory?
[13:57] <erUSUL> LjL: we are heading to fall/winter... why comlaint for extra heat in he house XD
[13:57] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: where you put the source for the kernel you built :-)
[13:57] <pw-toxic> hi, i'd like to add a user to ubuntu, but i cant unlock the user administration
[13:57] <pw-toxic> the "unlock" button is inactive
[13:57] <JeoTheLeo> the CD?
[13:57] <LjL> erUSUL: true, but for now it's still hot, and it'll be summer again in 9 months :P
[13:58] <iElectric> hm, does ubuntu server not use bash as default shell?
[13:58] <grawity> pw-toxic: I don't know why it's so (not using Ubuntu now), but I can suggest 'adduser' as an alternative way.
[13:58] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: did you not build this kernel from source?
[13:58] <JeoTheLeo> yes, from the liveCD
[13:59] <JeoTheLeo> I didn't do it manually
[13:59] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: you don't mean "installed from a package" right?
[13:59] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: "build from source" means "compile the source code and install" :-)
[14:00] <JeoTheLeo> ohhh
[14:00] <JeoTheLeo> sorry for my misleading info then
[14:00] <JeoTheLeo> still a newbie, which I believe you already figured out :D
[14:00] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: no worries. do you have a System.map file in /boot?
[14:00] <JeoTheLeo> yes
[14:01] <JeoTheLeo> but for some reason the kernel always gives the error message in the log files
[14:01] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: which matches the kernel version that you just installed?
[14:01] <JeoTheLeo> "Cannot find map file."
[14:01] <JeoTheLeo> it's an update
[14:01] <pw-toxic> grawity, worked thanks
[14:02] <JeoTheLeo> an update from the version I installed
[14:02] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: you might try installing the latest kernel package from synaptic/apt-get
[14:05] <JeoTheLeo> it's up-to-date
[14:05] <JeoTheLeo> no new upgrades
[14:05] <lillis> hmm

[14:08] <grawity> Otacon22: Ah, you need -g for that too... otherwise it only allows localhost.

[14:12] <Abhi69> hello
[14:12] <Abhi69> hi all!
[14:12] <Sidewinder1> Hi
[14:12] <Abhi69> i want to install internet explorer in ubuntu, any way?
[14:12] <adam> panic....respiratory  here open page and what next..where is download installation for rar software?
[14:12] <Abhi69> internet explorer 7 or 8
[14:12] <rishiVIII> plz dont
[14:12] <Sidewinder1> Through wine
[14:12] <JeoTheLeo> Abhi69, install wine
[14:13] <grawity> Abhi69: I don't think you can.
[14:13] <grawity> JeoTheLeo: Does v7 run on Wine?
[14:13] <Sidewinder1> But why would you want to?
[14:13] <JeoTheLeo> but honestly, IE?? :D
[14:13] <rishiVIII> i think you can through wine but ya why would you!?
[14:13] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: try "dpkg -L linux-image-$(uname -r) | grep System"
[14:13] <grawity> JeoTheLeo: Hey, v8 is even usable.
[14:13] <Abhi69> becoz i can't browse some of webpage without it
[14:13] <Abhi69> they are IE only page
[14:13] <grawity> rishiVIII: Web dev? Dumb sites? Dumb sites with dumb devs?
[14:14] <chrisb> Abhi69: huh? which one?
[14:14] <rishiVIII> oh ya probably
[14:14] <grawity> Abhi69: What site is that?
[14:14] <grawity> IE 6 can run on Wine, kind of.
[14:14] <adam> how install wine?
[14:14] <Sidewinder1> Abhi69>With all due respect, that is not true. You may need to add some extentions and add-ons to Firefox, but anything in IE will open play in FF!
[14:15] <JeoTheLeo>  /boot/System.map-2.6.27-14-generic
[14:15] <grawity> Sidewinder1: Even ActiveX?
[14:15] <Sidewinder1> Awh, come on...
[14:15] <Sidewinder1> Who'd want that insecure crap anyway?
[14:15] <grawity> Sidewinder1: I doubt Wine can run ActiveX.... and yes, it is _still_ being used :(
[14:15] <rishiVIII> ya active X on firefox
[14:15] <Abhi69> here is one- http://www.windows4all.com/
[14:16] <adam> so wine is not secure?
[14:16] <Abhi69> i can't open it with firefox
[14:16] <rishiVIII> there is a plugin for that
[14:16] <chrisb> JeoTheLeo: and you have
[14:16] <Sidewinder1> Wine is secure!
[14:16] <grawity> rishiVIII: But not on Linux.
[14:16] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: okay, so you have the appropriate System.map for the kernel you're running.
[14:16] <grawity> Windows4all requires Silverlight; does that have a Linux alternative? :|
[14:16] <Abhi69> moonlight
[14:16] <Abhi69> yes i know
[14:17] <JeoTheLeo> I read the device.map may be faulty if that error message occurs....but it doesn't seem faulty
[14:17] <Abhi69> it not working at all
[14:17] <Sidewinder1> http://www.windows4all.com/   Page opened just fine; no problems...
[14:17] <grawity> I doubt Silverlight is going to work on Wine.
[14:17] <JeoTheLeo> I'm thinking of doing an auto-map of all the partitions....
[14:17] <grawity> Sidewinder1: Yeah, and what does it list as a requirement?
[14:17] <osalcedo> hola a todos
[14:17] <bazhang> !es
[14:17] <arand> grawity: moonlight?
[14:17] <Abhi69> what about IEs4linux?
[14:18] <Abhi69> can i install it?
[14:18] <grawity> arand: <Abhi69?> moonlight
[14:18] <osalcedo> thanks
[14:18] <grawity> arand: <Abhi69?> it not working at all
[14:18] <adam> can you please give me instructions to install wine?
[14:18] <grawity> Abhi69: IEs4linux still won't have Silverlight, I guess.
[14:18] <Abhi69> hmm
[14:18] <grawity> adam: Accessories -> Terminal, "sudo apt-get install wine"
[14:18] <Sidewinder1> grawity>Since it's "winbloze4all" I didn't even bother to read it, but it opened (page) just fine... :-)
[14:18] <Abhi69> can i use it for other kind of browsing?
[14:19] <adam> thank You!
[14:19] <heogen> ubottu do you speak Spanish?
[14:19] <Abhi69> can i use IE4linux for regular web browsing?
[14:19] <Abhi69> like yahoo, facebook etc.
[14:19] <arvind_khadri> Abhi69, why what wrong with firefox?
[14:19] <Sidewinder1> !es | heogen>
[14:19] <grawity> Abhi69: Probably yes, but it is a bad idea :|
[14:20] <Abhi69> ok
[14:20] <Abhi69> i hav not windows in my machine
[14:20] <Abhi69> now i have to install it
[14:20] <Hi_Really_long_> u have a better so
[14:20] <Abhi69> very sad
[14:20] <heogen> ubottu don't worry i can understand English it was just a question
[14:20] <grawity> Hi_Really_long_: There is no "better".
[14:20] <Abhi69> i really hate windows
[14:21] <grawity> heogen: Ubottu is a bot - an automated program.
[14:21] <Abhi69> but now i have no other alternatives
[14:21] <chrisb> Abhi69: try it. then if no. uninstall/delete it. Nothing to lose, and you may learn something. :)
[14:21] <JeoTheLeo> ubottu, do you give your source code to anyone?
[14:21] <JeoTheLeo> :D
[14:21] <adam> in vine can i run any software from windows?
[14:21] <heogen> grawity, thank you for the information
[14:21] <Sidewinder1> Abhi69> If you install windoze AFTER ubuntu, you'll not be able to boot into ubuntu without repairing GRUB!!!
[14:21] <grawity> JeoTheLeo: I think it's just an ordinary infobot.
[14:22] <Abhi69> chrisb: thnz for advice
[14:22] <JeoTheLeo> yeah, met some interesting AI bots though
[14:22] <grawity> !ubottu > JeoTheLeo
[14:22] <arvind_khadri> JeoTheLeo, its been programmed using supybot
[14:22] <Abhi69>  i have to repair grub using live CD
[14:22] <Sidewinder1> !wine | <adam>

[14:22] <Abhi69> i know this
[14:22] <JeoTheLeo> nice, thanks grawity
[14:22] <grawity> Abhi69: How about VirtualBox? It will be enough for using Internet Explorer...
[14:23] <yabuk> I've tow user's account, I want one to be in English and other in German, when I use languages manager to set one, it change both accounts, how do I get differs languages on this accounts?
[14:23] <Sidewinder1> Ok. just wanted to make sure that you knew what you were getting into, :-)
[14:23] <adam> sudo apt-get install beryl
[14:23] <adam> 5    here is problem ????
[14:23] <Abhi69> grawity: virtualbox is a good idea
[14:24] <grawity> adam: I think Beryl has now merged to COmpiz.
[14:24] <cyber_666_uk> hey guys, im looking for a way to tell how much memory a program is using, similar to windows task manager, is there such a thing in linux?
[14:24] <grawity> adam: And Compiz comes with Ubuntu.
[14:25] <brent__> what's the command for safe mode in shiretoko... anyone know?
[14:25] <x404x> I have trouble with samba, i set it all up same as i did last time when it worked, same smb.conf file and smbusers, added user to samba and admin and yet it refuses to log me in, any ideas what could be wrong ?

[14:25] <chrisb> cyber_666_uk: top
[14:25] <grawity> JeoTheLeo: Scale + a ton of gnome-terminal windows
[14:25] <ooo> how do I create a personal proxy node I can use when mobile on my netbook. My PC is on 24/7 at home running the most recent ubunutu.
[14:25] <cyber_666_uk> chrisb: is that a command?
[14:25] <JeoTheLeo> :D
[14:25] <chrisb> cyber_666_uk: yep
[14:26] <cyber_666_uk> top programname
[14:26] <deany> adam,  virtualbox.org
[14:26] <grawity> ooo: For what purpose?
[14:27] <chrisb> cyber_666_uk: no just top, press u then type in user programe is running under
[14:27] <haiba> hello
[14:27] <adam> thank you deany
[14:27] <thedoor> how can i set diferent idioms to diferent users in the same ubuntu instalation?
[14:28] <grawity> thedoor: "idioms"?
[14:28] <ooo> I have repetedly hit the firewall with vodafone (content control) and even though they claim it's turned off, it stops me visiting some site, using a proxy I can by pass it, however all public ones are also blocked.
[14:28] <adam> i dont now what version ubuntu i install and heave right now..i heave 64 bit computer..how i can check this?
[14:29] <grawity> ooo: For that, the best way would be to install openssh-server, and use that instead of a proxy.
[14:29] <deany> adam, lsb_release -a
[14:29] <adam> i dont now what version ubuntu i install and heave right now..i heave 64 bit computer..how i can check this?
[14:29] <thedoor> grawity, languages :)
[14:29] <grawity> adam: Try uname -a
[14:29] <ooo> grawity: ok, I'll note than, and I'll look it up when I get home. is it easy to setup?
[14:29] <adam> i dont now what version ubuntu i install and heave right now..i heave 64 bit computer..how i can check this?
[14:30] <grawity> ooo: For tunnelling, not much setup is needed...
[14:30] <grawity> ooo: Wait, wait :|
[14:30] <ooo> ok, cool. many thanbks
[14:30] <ooo> ok
[14:30] <cyber_666_uk> great chrisb thx - is there a GUI avaiable in synaptic or somewhere that you're aware of?
[14:30] <grawity> ooo: Are you connecting from Windows, Linux, or a mobile phone, or whatever?
[14:30] <adam> i need now that is 32 or 64  ubuntu  how check it
[14:30] <ooo> I sometimes use all 3
[14:30]  * grawity screams "Count the damn bits" at adam
[14:30] <chrisb> cyber_666_uk: GUI for top?
[14:31] <sipior> grawity: :-)
[14:31] <gnubie> adam uname -m
[14:31] <cyber_666_uk> chrisb: yeah
[14:31] <grawity> chrisb: Look for "System monitor" in the System -> Administration menu.
[14:32] <cyber_666_uk> grawity: exactly what i was after thx
[14:32] <grawity> SSH tunneling is good for a proxy when you have Windows or Linux... but won't work for mobile phones :|
[14:32] <ooo> grawity: sometimes win, sometimes from my nokia running opera brower, and sometimes mint.
[14:32] <theoros> i realise this may not be the correct channel, but if a disk is partitioned, are the boot sectors for the VBR of the non-bootable partitions left free so that they can be made bootable?
[14:32] <ooo> grawity: the mobile is a non-issue really
[14:33] <ooo> grawity: i'll have a play later, many thanks
[14:33] <grawity> ooo: for Windows/Linux/OSX, use the 'ssh -D 1080 yourbox' command to connect to your computer.
[14:33] <adam> i686
[14:33] <adam>    this is 64 bit version?
[14:33] <ooo> ok, ta
[14:33] <grawity> ooo: (Once you have openssh-server installed on that, of course.)
[14:34] <ooo> :)
[14:34] <JeoTheLeo> sipior, any ideas on the map file?
[14:34] <grawity> ooo: Then set your browser to use a SOCKS (*not* HTTP) proxy on 127.0.0.1 port 1080. Those are the basics.
[14:34] <Sidewinder1> theoros>This is the right place and I THINK, the answer to your question is yes.
[14:34] <ooo> cool. ta
[14:34] <gnubie> adam  x86_64 is the 64bit
[14:34] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: it's not really a critical error. you can try reinstalling the kernel package, but it doesn't really hurt anything.
[14:34] <grawity> ooo: If you do need a HTTP proxy for your phone, Polipo isn't that hard to set up... Squid is very popular, but might be too bug.
[14:34] <grawity> too big*
[14:35] <suffe> I'm running ubuntu on PPC and I need to upgrade PHP to the CVS version to avoid a bug in date(). Any good servers for pre-made ubuntu packageS?
[14:35] <gnubie> adam  you have the 32bit installed
[14:35] <JeoTheLeo> it slows the startup, it's not a critical error, but I'm afraid if I update to jaunty or so, it would cause problems...
[14:35] <sipior> JeoTheLeo: i doubt it matters.
[14:36] <JeoTheLeo> well, I'll leave it at that then :D....thanks for your help eh
[14:36] <Sidewinder1> Easy question, in X-Chat, how do I increase the font size in the main display window?
[14:36] <ooo> grawity: :) ok, I'll have play later, can test it too then. at work at moment so can't access it till then.
[14:36] <ooo> grawity: laters
[14:36] <Spike1506> Sidewinder1, settings -> preferences
[14:36] <adam>  o my Good...i see here is everything...Jesus.... i dont think i back to windows anymore..
[14:36] <JeoTheLeo> just out of curiosity, how do I reinstall the kernel package?
[14:36] <ubuntistas> y does my pidgin calls doesn't exist?
[14:36] <sanguisdex> so I plugged in my head set to skype yesterday and today when I rebooted the ony sound I can get it through them.  how can I fix this?
[14:37] <grawity> ubuntistas: What version of Pidgin are you using?
[14:37] <ubuntistas> 2.6.1 grawity
[14:37] <grawity> ubuntistas: And what protocol? Even 2.6.1 only supports voice in Google Talk / XMPP.
[14:37] <Sidewinder1> Spike1506> Thank you very much; now I can read the bloddy thing
[14:37] <Spike1506> Sidewinder1, yw

[14:39] <felipe__> I downloaded OpenOffice for Ubuntu. How I install it?
[14:39] <Nolan> why dont you try installing it through add/remove felipe
[14:39] <grawity> felipe__: Better would be to install it from Ubuntu repositories, not from the website.
[14:39] <arvind_khadri> felipe_, there is a version of it in the repo..
[14:39] <Sidewinder1> adam just discovered Synaptic :-)
[14:39] <arquebus> felipe- its should already be installed on ubuntu by default
[14:40] <grawity> felipe__: (There's an Add/Remove menu item under Applications.)
[14:40] <felipe__> in fact
[14:40] <felipe__> i'm installing BROffice, the portuguese version of openoffice
[14:40] <felipe__> i didn't find it in the repository
[14:40] <grawity> Did it come in a .deb, or .tar.gz, or something else?
[14:40] <felipe__> .tar.gz
[14:40] <felipe__> with a lot of .deb inside
[14:41] <grawity> On Ubuntu, .debs usually can be installed by double-clicking.
[14:41] <grawity> Or if you prefer the terminal - sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[14:41] <adam> tell me how change please resolution screen..and why nvidia app cant turn on my dual second monitor

[15:14] <felipe__> HELP: Amarok can't install because it is conflic with another application. How I discover what application is this?
[15:14] <pedrailla> help please: I chmod an executable file to 777, then try to run it and it sais "No such file or directory"
[15:14] <tony99> do i have to set the pw.....how do i do that
[15:14] <sipior> felipe_: normally the package manager reports which package is causing the trouble. how are you installing amarok?
[15:15] <sipior> tony99: no, you can gain superuser privileges through "sudo", using your own password.
[15:15] <sipior> tony99: (assuming your account is in the admin group, of course :-)
[15:15] <david_hacc> le nom de la machine des batch ?
[15:15] <tony99> i cant login as root at all
[15:15] <tony99> ?
[15:16] <kingnerd> tony99, you need to set it up
[15:16] <kingnerd> do sudo passwd su
[15:16] <sipior> tony99: try "sudo -i" for a root shell, but generally best to prefix commands with sudo.
[15:16] <IdleOne> !fr | david_hacc
[15:16] <kingnerd> But Ubuntu doesn't have it by default for a reason
[15:16] <RuSH4ck3R> pedrailla: use ./filename instead of filename
[15:16] <kingnerd> sorry sudo passwd root, where is my brain
[15:16] <heogen> hi, how to read .iso?
[15:17] <cherva> heogen: mount it as a cd rom

[15:17] <kingnerd> heogen, install gmount-iso from synaptic
[15:17] <tony99> see im running vmware workstation and to change some preferences it says "You must be running Workstation as root to change these preferences."
[15:18] <tony99> im the only user
[15:18] <bigmack83> how can i make an install stop? its asking me for the java runtime path which it didnt mark as a dependancy and now i am unable to stop the install to i can install the needed packages
[15:18] <sipior> tony99: try running it as "gksudo vmware..."
[15:18] <felipe__> sipior, I'm installing through Add/Remove Prograns
[15:18] <sipior> tony99: careful with that, though, unless you trust the vmware folks implicitly :-)
[15:19] <drainman> is there a way to see what packages that has been installed since a certain date?
[15:19] <sipior> felipe__: try "sudo apt-get install amarok" from the terminal, see what it says.
[15:19] <heogen> kingnerd, thank you
[15:20] <kingnerd> No worries heogen
[15:20] <IdleOne> bigdavejoker: ctrl+c
[15:20] <tony99> thanks it worked
[15:20] <IdleOne> bigmack83: ctrl+c
[15:20] <heogen> kingnerd, i burn a dvd in my laptop but i cant watch the movie in it?
[15:20] <IdleOne> tabcomp fail
[15:21] <kingnerd> Do you have the right codecs heogen ?
[15:21] <tony99> one more thing...i recenly uninstalled a program thats still in the applications menu....how do i remove that
[15:21] <sipior> drainman: you can look at the logs in /var/log/apt, which do have timestamps.
[15:21] <bigmack83> IdleOne, its with ssh to a server. that does nothing
[15:21] <heogen> kingnerd, I don't know
[15:21] <kingnerd> heogen, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:21] <kingnerd> if you burned it yourself you shouldn't need libdvdcss2
[15:21] <drainman> sipior: Thanks!
[15:21] <kingnerd> But if it's encrypted you will
[15:21] <heogen> kingnerd, i'll do now, thank you again man
[15:22] <kingnerd> No problem.. Tell me if it doesn't work

[15:23] <gartral> is there any way to connect to a windows remote desktop from linux?
[15:24] <camonz> hi, what are some console tools to check a server cname records?
[15:24] <IdleOne> gartral: Places > Connect to server
[15:24] <sipior> camonz: have a look at "dig"
[15:24] <drainman> gartral: both with rdp and vnc
[15:24] <camonz> sipior: tried dig CNAME domain but I keep getting no results for CNAME
[15:24] <camonz> A and MX work ok
[15:25] <gartral> IdleOne: i dont have a Places menu on my desktop.. im using e17
[15:25] <IdleOne> gartral: ahh. don't know
[15:25] <pranav> I have x/ubuntu 9.04 discs burned but on boot, there's no option for base system installation, how do I do it ?
[15:26] <sipior> camonz: are you sure the CNAME exists? it's works fine on my system.
[15:26] <kingnerd> Go into the live-cd (I assume that option is there) and press Install on the desktop pranav
[15:26] <citricsquid> Should I use ubuntu or windows 7?
[15:26] <camonz> it should, all servers have cname records
[15:26] <sipior> camonz: also, are you getting NXDOMAIN?
[15:27] <IdleOne> citricsquid: look at the channel name your in
[15:27] <camonz> sipior: nope, never tried looking at NXDOMAIN
[15:27] <kingnerd> citricsquid, Windows 7, it'll keep trolls like you off our IRC
[15:27] <pranav> kingmanor, let me try
[15:27] <Sidewinder1> citricsquid> Ubuntu
[15:27] <camonz> sipior: yeah, returns A rec
[15:27] <citricsquid> Sidewinder1: Thankyou, I wish everyone was as nice as you.
[15:27] <PerryArmstrong> can anyone tell me of any good pdf readers with speech support
[15:28] <Sidewinder1> citricsquid> Wish my wife said that!
[15:28] <sipior> camonz: a CNAME is not required, by the way. double-check with the network administration that one has been arranged.
[15:29] <camonz> sipior: well, NXDOMAIN 1st it returns 208.67.217.132 which look like my domain lookup servers,
[15:29] <camonz> sipior: yeah, but doing dig CNAME google.com shouldn't return all the aliases for google.com?
[15:29] <sipior> camonz: NXDOMAIN means "non-existant domain" :-)
[15:30] <camonz> sipior: ahh, that IP looks like its from opendns
[15:30] <camonz> I use opendns for my lookups

[15:31] <gartral> oops.. cat-on-keyboard syndrom, sorry
[15:31] <camonz> gartral: i understand you completely
[15:31] <Sidewinder1> <kingner I'm not too sure that he/she was a troll; asked the question (silly on a ubuntu chan) and left...
[15:31] <sipior> gartral: i find they're less of a problem if you remove one leg :-)
[15:31] <camonz> not the cat-on-kb syndrome, the 'njklb j, hjl njlknkljn.n/.bjhkvfgc dsfdsfzasf' :)
[15:32] <hugleo> where find I a grub2 package to ext4 support to intrepid?
[15:33] <gartral> sipior: and what was it my cat was trying so despretly to say to the world?
[15:33] <citricsquid> How do I list the contents of a folder where the name includes a specific string? like, list all files with "a" in the name?
[15:33] <clearscreen> !backports | hugleo

[15:34] <ioannes> I am new to Ubuntu Linux and I need to know why icon for the terminal are not visible? If I open places desktop then the icon can be seen.
[15:34] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong espeak reads plain text.
[15:34] <citricsquid> it says it isn't recognised clearscreen
[15:34] <djdarkman> which package is responsible for the usb hotplug? I need to report a bug, but don't know what to report it against
[15:34] <shingalated> Is there any way to advertise NFS shares on a machine to the other Ubuntu machines on the network, so that it shows up in network:/// in Nautilus?
[15:35] <clearscreen> citricsquid: can you put the exact error message at http://paste.ubuntu.com
[15:35] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; is it as good as Document Viewer or xpdf...but these ones do not support speech
 changed my mind, I'm just going to look stupid.
[15:35] <dca_> hello friends .. i need a help.. i am using 9.04 .. and gnome.. but my windows are lagging..if i use desktop effects then it will take few seconds for the windows to pop up...if no effects then i can see black squares trailing behind the windows
[15:35] <Marach> about his presence on #ubuntu xD
[15:35] <Marach> lol
[15:35] <dca_> Please help
[15:35] <clearscreen> and there he goes
[15:36] <tony99> whats the command to view processes with the id
[15:36] <Besogon> shingalated, that is not possible  In my opinion
[15:36] <Sidewinder1> ioannes> Right click on it then, add launcher to desktop.
[15:36] <arvind_khadri> !help | dca_
[15:36] <tony99> like the id number i would use to kill it
[15:36] <ioannes> Ta! for the info
[15:36] <clearscreen> tony99: ps aux
[15:37] <dca_> sorry , this is trouble is bugging me a lot
[15:37] <arvind_khadri> tony99, ps
[15:37] <hugleo> clearscreen: there are not backport grub package :)
[15:37] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong you can *Copy & Paste* the text and redirect it to espeak.
[15:37] <dca_> ubottu, sorry
[15:37] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; is there no other alternative
[15:37] <rrittenhouse> I am adding another drive to an LVM in Ubuntu. When running lvextend do I have to specify -L or will it take the entire disk in?
[15:38] <ikonia> rrittenhouse: specify -L
[15:38] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong what's wrong with it? :)
[15:38] <rrittenhouse> ikonia, It can't read how big the disk is and do it itself?
[15:39] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; because instead of directly reading a pdf document, i have to copy the text first and then set it for reading
[15:39] <PerryArmstrong> as far as what i got from what you said
[15:39] <shingalated> Is there any way to advertise NFS shares on a machine to the other Ubuntu machines on the network, so that it shows up in network:/// in Nautilus?
[15:39] <ikonia> rrittenhouse: I don't believe it works like that, there is an option for "all" though
[15:39] <Sidewinder1> !ask | dca
[15:39] <Besogon> shingalated, but you can use "showmount" command. I don't know well< but may be there is needed to set up NIS... And it is bad idea for home because NIS request everytime working server
[15:39] <Klatuferatanektu> does anyone know how to open an adminterminal in ubuntu, need that because of a special bug concerning to the /etc/hosts https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/203593
[15:39] <ikonia> shingalated: a share is advertised to anyone that knows about it
[15:40] <ubuntu> I am in the live CD of ubuntu 9.04, I still can't find base system installation. Can someone help ?
[15:40] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong what do you mean *set it* you just copy the text into a text file and have esound read the text file. It's quite simple, actually.
[15:40] <ikonia> Klatuferatanektu: there are fixes in that bug report
[15:40] <Trijntje> Klatuferatanektu: sudo -i, but be carefull!
[15:40] <IdleOne> !minimal | ubuntu
[15:40] <shingalated> ikonia, I can't have it show up to all linux users on a network, with Avahi or mDNS or something?
[15:40] <ubuntu> IdleOne, Where do I type that ?
[15:40] <istvan> I have mounted an ftp server using 'connect to server' - now how can I run grep on it from the command line?
[15:40] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; so how do i get esound to read it??
[15:41] <felipe__> Please. I cant play mp3 files. I installed ubuntu yesterday. May codec be missing?
[15:41] <ikonia> shingalated: no, as NFS is not like say windows shares / samba, you would need something like a nis map to advertise it
[15:41] <IdleOne> ubuntu: you don't type anything you read what the bot told you
[15:41] <ikonia> !mp3 > felipe__
[15:41] <wenze> hi
[15:41] <shingalated> ikonia, is that a bad thing to set up on a home network?
[15:41] <ikonia> shingalated: it's massivly overkill and quite complex to use nis, so setting it up on a home network is not something I'd advise
[15:42] <dca_> hello friends .. i need a help.. i am using 9.04 .. and gnome.. but my windows are lagging..if i use desktop effects then it will take few seconds for the windows to pop up...if no effects then i can see black squares trailing behind the windows
[15:42] <ubuntu> ubottu, I have burned 3 full discs of Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu 9.04, just today but can't I use them to install even the base system ?
[15:42] <ikonia> ubottu: no you can't
[15:42] <ikonia> oops
[15:42] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong first you Ctl-A in Document Viewer to select all the text. Then open up a text app like mousepad and middle click the text into it. Then save the file to text.txt. Then type esound < text.txt. Simple.
[15:42] <ikonia> ubuntu: no you can't
[15:42] <IdleOne> ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[15:43] <ikonia> ubuntu: you have to install the default ubuntu install, but you can then remove what ever you don't want
[15:43] <sipior> shingalated: you can use avahi to advertise nfs shares, assuming you have a zeroconf-enabled browser. start here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Avahi
[15:43] <fig_le_deunch> !mp3 > fig_le_deunch
[15:43] <ubuntu> IdleOne, I have seen that 9MB image
[15:44] <ikonia> sipior: that's auto mount - not advertise
[15:44] <Sidewinder1> dca_> How much ram do you have?
[15:44] <ubuntu> ikonia, So how do I remove everything except from the base system ?
[15:44] <shingalated> sipior, is nautilus "zeroconf-enabled"?
[15:44] <ikonia> ubuntu: open the package manager and remove any packages you don't want
[15:45] <sipior> ikonia: fair point, but i imagine it is possible. (if it doesn't advertise them, how does it automount them?)
[15:46] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; though esound is installed it says command not found
[15:46] <sipior> ikonia: also: http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/zero-configuration-networking-avahi
[15:46] <Klatuferatanektu> Trijntje: doesnt work with sudo -i. still get the same error message
[15:46] <grawity> shingalated, sipior: Nautilus is in no way related to zeroconf.
[15:46] <clearscreen> ikonia: that doesn't work as easy as it sounds, many useless packages will stay behind and will take considerable time to remove through synaptic
[15:46] <sipior> grawity: i didn't say that it was.
[15:46] <clearscreen> manually remove*
 shingalated: you can use avahi to advertise nfs shares, assuming you have a zeroconf-enabled browser.
[15:46] <grawity> You did
[15:46] <ikonia> sipior: it advertises them to other avahi services, which auto mounts, them so it's not advertising them to other things, such as browsers
[15:46] <Trijntje> Klatuferatanektu: just type sudo -i, hit enter and then you have a root shell. Don't forget to exit it when you're done
[15:46] <dca_> Sidewinder1, thanks for responding.. its 2GB ram
[15:46] <ubuntu> clearscreen, thats why I wanted clean base system
[15:47] <sipior> grawity: i don't see "nautilus" at any point in that sentence.
[15:47] <Besogon> Does any one know how much good computer should be for service 12 seats in multiseat mode?
[15:47] <grawity> sipior: Browsers aren't related either.
[15:47] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong type whereis esound
[15:47] <ikonia> sipior: it's a more than acceptable solution, I'm not critisising it, just differentiating
[15:47] <clearscreen> ubuntu: yeah, that's one of the reasons I run debian myself.. completely blank install and i manually get gnome-core gdm xorg
[15:47] <sipior> grawity: perhaps we are talking past one another here.
[15:47] <grawity> Avahi does three things: 1) Zeroconf (link-local address assignment) handled by avahi-autoipd. 2) Service advertisement (mDNS) handled by avahi-daemon. 3) Multicast DNS resolving handled by avahi-dnsconfd (I think).
[15:48] <ubuntu> clearscreen, I want to do that too
[15:48] <grawity> sipior: Which one of the above?
[15:48] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; whereis esound
[15:48] <PerryArmstrong> esound: /etc/esound /usr/lib/esound
[15:48] <Sidewinder1> dca_> That should be plenty of ram, I only have 1 gig and it works fine. Are you running any other graphics intensive program when this happens? Are you running virtual machines? Wubi?
[15:48] <grawity> Sidewinder1: Wubi doesn't use any more RAM as a normal install.
[15:49] <cyber_666_uk> hey guys - does anyone know if Gimp does batch processing - for example if i have a folder of gif's and i want to resize them all in 1-go, can i do that?
[15:49] <Klatuferatanektu> Trijntje: still doesnt work for me :-/ no root shell appears. i stell get the same error message as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/195308
[15:49] <grawity> cyber_666_uk: For batch resizing, try the 'convert' tool in ImageMagick.
[15:49] <lo127> Can I install ubuntu on an empty USB harddrive? (with a swap partion) ?
[15:49] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong sorry! the command is espeak, not esound. My bad
[15:49] <grawity> cyber_666_uk: 'convert' and 'mogrify', actually. (The difference is that 'mogrify' destroys the original.)
[15:49] <clearscreen> ubuntu: I would assume you can do the same with one of those minimal cd images, but it has annoyed me in the past that I couldn't get a blank install with my larger cd image
[15:50] <sipior> grawity: service advertisement. the point is, the client must have a way of selecting the services proffered. the original question was whether avahi can be used to advertise nfs shares. the answer is yes.
[15:50] <Trijntje> Klatuferatanektu: what are you trying to do?
[15:50] <grawity> sipior: Yeah, and that isn't zeroconf-related.
[15:50] <sipior> grawity: i quite agree.

[15:51] <Sidewinder1> grawity Thanx, but if it's running through winbloze wouldn't it use more ram than ubuntu native? Winbloze has gotta be hoging some ram?

[15:55] <m525020> hi @all! How do i have to configure grub to only have on dynamic entry for the latest installed ubuntu kernel and leve not to use the other kernel in /boot ?
[15:56] <Sidewinder1> dca_ I seem to remember jaunty having some sort of bug regarding intel graphice on mobo, something like that...
[15:56] <ubuntu> clearscreen, so is there way to make my base system install all drivers using the live CD or sth
[15:56] <ubuntu> ?
[15:57] <meshuggah> what is the difference between lubuntu b04   or b14 ?
[15:57] <dca_> Sidewinder1, Ooops .. mine is graphics card is intel..i use dell 1420
[15:57] <Trijntje> m525020: those older kernels are there as a fallback option if something goes wrong
[15:57] <ubuntu> clearscreen, Actually I just have 256 mb so I want to customize everything that runs in my system
[15:57] <jose__> hello, running jaunty. new to ubuntu, but having a blast setting stuff up. how can i find out how much space i have used up on my hd, and how much is left?
[15:57] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong it should work. It works on mine. Are you in the same dir as the file hello? Is the file hello empty?
[15:57] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; yes in the same dir and the hello contains the text: "Hello how are you"
[15:58] <Trijntje> jose__: system -> administration -> partitioneditor
[15:58] <m525020> i understand this but i will only have 2 entries in menu.lst
[15:58] <KaffeeJunky123> Hello everyone
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> dca_ try searching launchpad for jaunty intel bud
[15:58] <clearscreen> ubuntu: I have 2GB but I still want my system to be as lean and clean as possible :P but I dont think you can use the live option to do a minimal install
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> bug
[15:58] <vijay> hi
[15:58] <Klatuferatanektu> Trijntje: yes, i got the hint, that the localhostname is not correctly noted in the /etc/hosts file. but i cannot edit this file with this bug :-/
[15:58] <jose__> thanks Trijntje
[15:58] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong it works here. I just tested it.
[15:58] <shivek> I've found a python script, which I've put up here < http://pastebin.com/m54c31b3e > . How to execute it ? !
[15:58] <Trijntje> m525020: ok, at your own risk ;) You must remove all the older kernels in synaptic and run sudo update-grub
[15:58] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; any other alternatives to read directly from a pdf or chm??
[15:58] <clearscreen> shivek: python filename.py ? :P
[15:59] <The_Jag> hi all, is there a way to move all mp3 files from many subfolders of folderA (FolderA/subfolder1-2-3-4-...) to a unique folderB?
[15:59] <karakh> does anyone have trouble getting gnome-do to recognize their firefox bookmarks?
[15:59] <KaffeeJunky123> I want to distribut an GSM connection to my local network, any1 know how to achieve that?
[15:59] <vijay> i ve problem with intuilt webcam in ubuntu 9.04 any body help me
[15:59] <Trijntje> Klatuferatanektu: I see, you should choose the 'recovery mode' when booting the pc, and eddit the file there
[15:59] <m525020> hm... that's not exactly what I want. I have a dual boot config - a rhel kernel is in the same /boot directory. everytime update-grub runs it also creates an entry for my rhel system
[15:59] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong not that I am aware of. Try it with just espeak by itself, then type a line of text and press enter. Do you hear the text?
[15:59] <karakh> The_Jag: I'd use 'find' and 'exec'
[15:59] <ubuntu> clearscreen, I will burn that 9MB disc,  I will try to find the driver file by myself using previous ubuntu and copy them and it can run I guess, (in the case the network does'nt work )
[16:00] <vijay> hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:00] <Sidewinder1> !webcam | vijay>
[16:00] <PerryArmstrong> RHorse; whats the syntax for that
[16:00] <Jvlaple> www.winterrowd.com/megan-fox-naked/
[16:00] <shivek> that doesn't works <http://pastebin.com/m71ed9a60> .Here's the error message .
[16:00] <Trijntje> Klatuferatanektu: you will go into a text-only mode, use nano to edit the files
[16:00] <The_Jag> karakh: i'll check
[16:00] <Jvlaple> take a look :)
[16:00] <Trijntje> m525020: i'm not sure how to help you than, sorry
[16:00] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong there is no syntax. type espeak. then type anything you want and press the enter key.
[16:00] <The_Jag> karakh: ok, uhm what's exec?
[16:00] <jose__> Trijntje: there's no partition editor where you pointed me to
[16:01] <vijay> i ve tried that also
[16:01] <The_Jag> no manual in console for it
[16:01] <The_Jag> karakh: no manual in console for it
[16:01] <dca_> Sidewinder1, Thanks, let me check it
[16:01] <clearscreen> The_Jag: you can use 'find'
[16:01] <lindsay> I'm using Ubuntu 9.04. My system crashes when I try to open the display properties under system-->preferences. any advice?
[16:01] <Sidewinder1> dca_ Good luck
[16:01] <karakh> The_Jag: something like: 'find -name '*.mp3' exec mv '{}' /home/wherever /;' if i remember
[16:01] <clearscreen> karakh: too fast for me
[16:01] <vijay> how do i detect my webcam
[16:02] <The_Jag> clearscreen, karakh : ok i'll try ty
[16:02] <karakh> The_Jag: '-exec' srry
[16:02] <clearscreen> karakh: probably -exec though, unless find is agnostic in that regard
[16:02] <joshua> ubuntu is cool
[16:02] <clearscreen> karakh: again too fast for me :P
[16:02] <Sidewinder1> !repeat | vijay>
[16:02] <karakh> clearscreen: lol
[16:02] <shivek> what' s the python channel ? !
[16:03] <Klatuferatanektu> Trijntje: how to reboot in recovery mode? and after that, i can just type "nano /etc/hosts" without providing a password?
[16:03] <Threetimes> Hi, dmesg doesn't say anything about my usb hard drive. Should I assume it is broken? How can I recover things?
[16:03] <karakh> does anyone have trouble getting gnome-do to recognize their firefox bookmarks?
[16:03] <sipior> shivek: #python would be a good first guess :-)
[16:03] <cjae> Hi how do I change the dpi settings with proprietary nvidia drivers in ubuntu 9.04 eg. so I can have large fonts on all windows and such with 1024x760 on a CRT TV?
[16:04] <clearscreen> Threetimes: is it listed in lshw?
[16:04] <The_Jag> clearscreen, karakh : it says that lacks exec parameter
[16:04] <shivek> sipior : I've tried it ! **/
[16:04] <Threetimes> clearscreen: let's see...
[16:04] <sipior> shivek: what was the problem?
[16:04] <Trijntje> Klatuferatanektu: restart the pc. You should than get the grub menu with a counter that counts down the seconds till it starts ubuntu. Press escape and you can choose other boot options. Then choose the line with (recovery mode)
[16:04] <cjae> or else I have to switch to 800x600 and then I cannot see all my windows
[16:04] <karakh> The_Jag: can you paste the command that you typed in here?
[16:04] <dca_> Sidewinder1 , how can i find out my graphics driver?
[16:05] <The_Jag> clearscreen, karakh : find -name '*.mp3' -exec mv '{}' /home/fabio/Musica/n/;
[16:05] <shivek> Sipior : I have a python script and want to execute it. (check previous posts )

[16:05] <jose__> anyone know a good link on how to set up conky looking nice on my desktop? everything I find is unclear/incomplete, and i want it to autostart to.
[16:05] <cjae> in xubuntu the is a setting in the settings menu where you can enable a custom dpi setting but cannot find it here in gnome
[16:06] <cjae> s/the/there
[16:06] <karakh> The_Jag: could take some time if you have alot of files though
[16:06] <The_Jag> karakh : so it move all files from wherever to root?
[16:06] <shivek> sipior : < http://pastebin.com/m54c31b3e > . How to execute it ? !
[16:06] <Threetimes> clearscreen: it's not in lshw
[16:06] <The_Jag> karakh : so it move all files from Musica/n/ to root?
[16:07] <Threetimes> clearscreen: I didn't expect it there, cause it's not in the syslog (dmesg)
[16:07] <dca_> Sidewinder1, it shows no proprietary drivers installed?
[16:07] <fig> :Thr
[16:07] <karakh> The_Jag: if you know the top level folder of the mp3 files use this:  find /top/level/dir/ -name '*.mp3' -exec mv '{}' /home/fabio/Musica/n/ /;
[16:07] <vijay> i m ya
[16:07] <jose__> jose_:hey
[16:08] <The_Jag> karakh : I actually am inside the top level folder
[16:08] <jose__> can anyone point me to a good conky tutorial?
[16:08] <vijay> is there is any software like photobooth
[16:08] <karakh> The_Jag: k, then just use:  find -name '*.mp3' -exec mv '{}' /home/fabio/Musica/n/ /;
[16:08] <Sidewinder1> dca_> Sorry I can't be of more assistence, I only know what I had to do to tweak my system and it's rather old and pretty much, just worked.
[16:09] <karakh> The_Jag: or:  'find -name '*.mp3' -exec cp '{}' /home/fabio/Musica/n/ /;' if you want to copy rather than move the files
[16:09] <fig> : www
[16:09] <dca_> Sidewinder1, No issues friend.. thanks a lot
[16:09] <Sidewinder1> dca_> No prob., glad to try...

[16:10] <vijay> how do i use my webcam
[16:10] <The_Jag> karakh: all files are inside subfolders
[16:10] <The_Jag> karakh: isn't it recursive on those folders?

[16:15] <karakh> The_Jag: k, are all the mp3s you need to move in your home folder?
[16:15] <cjae> anyone know how to change dpi settings in gnome? or must it be done through xorg

[16:20] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong something may still have control of your sound. Try rebooting and retrying espeak before starting any other apps. I bet it works.

[16:21] <RHorse> PerryArmstrong cuz espeak works fine here. Obviously there's a conflict somewhere. Espeak didn't break. Your sound did.
[16:21] <karakh> The_Jag: that should copy them all to the new folder

[16:30] <Keiffer> Hi. Anyone knows how could I make Transmission start before the login screen? And start downloading and uploading. Is this possible?
[16:30] <The_Jag> bash: find /home/fabio/Musica/ -name *.*3 -exec mv {} /home/fabio/m/ \;: No such file or directory

[16:31] <kd> Keiffer, logically anything tht u do is loaded as a session, I do not think it can continue at pre-login
[16:31] <karakh> The_Jag: replace {} with '{}'
[16:31] <kd> KaffeeJunky123 ??
[16:32] <KaffeeJunky123> kd: Did you install the newest Graphiccard drivers using the Ubuntu driver tool?

[16:32] <The_Jag> karakh: in the bash it has ''
[16:32] <Keiffer> kd, sshd does that. and i was thinkind if transmission could do it
[16:32] <Keiffer> do you know any screenlet/desklet that works as a menu for apps? like the Mac OS one.
[16:32] <vox> Keiffer: as i understand it, transmission is dependant on Gnome running. so the short answer is no, you cant run it without someone being logged-in
[16:33] <karakh> The_Jag: Hmm... If the ',

If i install Xubuntu over the gnome session , would the same overwrite the applications which i had in Gnome or would it be available when i roll back into Gnome?. I know Xfce has its own apps. Just wanted to clear this thing. Thanks in advance

[16:34] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> what is a good ubuntu music player that plays shoutcast radio?
[16:34] <KaffeeJunky123> kd: Did you set the monitor refresh rate according to your monitors manual ?
[16:34] <Hydrid> before i put envy i must uninstall proprietary ati drivers?

[16:36] <NoobZaibot> Hello, i am having a trouble using Ubuntu 8.10 and sending processes to background
[16:36] <kd> KaffeeJunky123, so far system testing has shown everything positive.. I wonder wht could possibly be the issue... coz... my ram is 2 GiB, HDD is spacious, Processor is good
[16:36] <cheezespread> Lukasz_Tarkowski: Rmplayer works in Ubuntu if you are used to it . You can get it from Real's site.
[16:36] <karakh> The_Jag: that last command should outputt all the 'cp' attempts
[16:36] <NoobZaibot> Anybody down for helping me a little ? :)
[16:36] <isi> does somebody know if theres something like gpu scaling in fglrx?
[16:36] <paddeltje> cheezespread: I installed kde-desktop in my Ubuntu (gnome) some time ago and was left with all kinds of 'garbage' from kde afterwards
[16:36] <Otacon22> grawity, now it is working: the problem was that you have also to modify the sshd_config file and add "GatewayPorts yes"
[16:37] <kd> I dont want to go back to RHEL
[16:37] <grawity> Otacon22: Hmm. I thought -g already does that.
[16:37] <cheezespread> paddeltje: Oh , so you advice me not to get into that venture ..eh ? ;) ..Good then ;)
[16:37] <KaffeeJunky123> kd: I don't think it's a system issue, maybe your monitor cable or something else is causing the issues
[16:38] <KaffeeJunky123> kd: when exactly do the problems occur ?
[16:38] <m3F> Hello everybody!, support for karmic Koala?
[16:38] <The_Jag> karakh: it listed not all files copy attempts

[16:39] <NoobZaibot> Hello, i am having a trouble using Ubuntu 8.10 and sending processes to background, can't send them when it's in the script, but can do it from the command line.
[16:39] <[AWE]> I'm new to linux and was hoping someone could help me out with a problem I'm having with proftpd
[16:39] <diddy> IdleOne, I mean because the CPU might not be able to handle it.
[16:39] <The_Jag> karakh: Could it be bc of the spaces in folders/files names?
[16:40] <kd> KaffeeJunky123, when I am on ubuntu and not on windows dual boot....
[16:40] <kd> lol
[16:40] <karakh> The_Jag: try a 'mkdir ~/m' just to be sure

[16:41] <m0> Hello, I use 5.1 surround for my speakers, and on my front I plug in my headphones. How can I switch my audio output to either one?
[16:41] <Sidewinder1> kd> How much ram do you have?
[16:41] <karakh> The_Jag: did you try 'mkdir ~/m'
[16:42] <The_Jag> karakh: impossible tocreate
[16:42] <The_Jag> karakh: already existing file
[16:42] <chris___> No one got a hint for the bluetooth issue? :/
[16:42] <karakh> The_Jag: hmmm
[16:42] <karakh> The_Jag: hmmm
[16:42] <kd> Sidewinder1, it is 2GiB
[16:43] <karakh> The_Jag: just tried the command on my system and it worked fine... I'm pretty much stumped...
[16:43] <Sidewinder1> kd> that's certainly enough so that's not the answer
[16:43] <The_Jag> karakh: yeah but does it still work if the folder already exists?
[16:44] <karakh> The_Jag: it should. Give me a min, I'll just check the man for it
[16:44] <The_Jag> karakh: ty
[16:44] <Sidewinder1> kd> newer box? If so cpu is not the issue
[16:45] <jamesb1> I need an Ubuntu and Firefox expert.. LoL.. I'm trying to use the latest build of Firefox for Linux.. only can seem to get 3.0.13 to install.. any help?
[16:45] <kd> Sidewinder1, I am not sure... wht to do. I am new but not "that" new.. I had my servers running on RHEL and Fedora... and this is a server machine... so config canot be an issue
[16:45] <KaffeeJunky123> kd: are you using an opensource X.org driver or the gpu vendor's driver?
[16:45] <truff> Hi all, any idea on why XDMCP (GDM) is only listening on udp6 port ? I cannot connect any ipv4 client :(
[16:46] <Sidewinder1> kd> Maybe running too many graphics intensive processes?
[16:46] <grawity> truff: When a process binds to [::] - all IPv6 interfaces - it should also receive IPv4 connections too.
[16:46] <kd> KaffeeJunky123, Sidewinder1 I have just installed and updated my ubuntu about 2 hours ago
[16:46] <fig> jamesb1: 3.0.13 is the latest in the Ubuntu repositories. If you want a newer version it won't have been fully tested with Ubuntu yet.
[16:47] <karakh> The_Jag: OK, navigate to your Musica folder with: cd ~/Musica
[16:47] <truff> Graviton ho ok, so the bug is somewhere else
[16:47] <MysticKnight> jamesbi you do "sudo su" before you compiled?
[16:47] <truff> I'm seeing this bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/393835
[16:47] <paddeltje> anyone using banshee: how can I add a radio station, or rather: what format or should the URL be in? Tried http://www.smgradio.com/core/audio/mp3/live.pls?service=vrb for Virgin Radio, but that doesn't work
[16:47] <grawity> truff: Unless Ubuntu has changed that :|
[16:47] <The_Jag> karakh: done
[16:47] <jamesb1> MysticKnight: I didn't do any commands.. this is a fresh install..
[16:47] <KaffeeJunky123> kd: That's why I'm asking wich driver you do have installed
[16:47] <reehan> how do i connect to irc.oftc.net?
[16:47] <karakh> The_Jag: and try: find -name '*.*3' -exec cp '{}' ~/m/ \;
[16:47] <grawity> truff: What does /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only contain?
[16:47] <KaffeeJunky123> kd: If it worked before it must be a driver or software issue
[16:47] <grawity> reehan: Type /server irc.oftc.net
[16:48] <reehan> grawity: Thank you :)
[16:48] <truff> grawity I can't access the box now but I'll check this evening, thx for the hint
[16:48] <Sidewinder1> kd> Then it may be a driver roll-back issue as KaffeeJunky123> suggested
[16:48] <karakh> The_Jag: if it's working, it could take a while
[16:49] <grawity> truff: It should contain 0

[16:51] <The_Jag> karakh: can I count how many files a folder contain?
[16:51] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> I also would like to know what is the best program for msn equvilant?
[16:51] <KaffeeJunky123> indian_munnda: well, there are no compilers for assembly ;) but I'm sure there is an assmbler available for gcc
[16:51] <Sidewinder1> kd> There was some bug in JJ associated with intel graphics on mobo, if my memory serves...You might search launchpad for jaunty, intel bug.

[16:53] <AFLunatic> I'm having HUGE issues installing ubuntu/kubuntu... Everytime I boot from live cd or install inside windows.. it takes about 10 minutes to 'boot' the install but never does, it just says { DRDY ERR } and UNC.. Any ideas?
[16:53] <KaffeeJunky123> kd: bye
[16:53] <erUSUL> indian_munnda: gcc uses gas as its assembler probably comes in binutils. nasm is another x86 assembler
[16:53] <indian_munnda> erUSUL: ok i m installing nasm
[16:53] <The_Jag> karakh: yes sry i explained myself bad: i see the new folder has 63 items, but in the old folder (which has a lot of subfolders) says it has 236 item, but i don't know how many of them are folders
[16:53] <AFLunatic> It's so frustrating I've been at it for 11 hours now

[16:54] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> Thank you ;)
[16:54] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> I just put replayer into other workspace :D
[16:54] <karakh> The_Jag: I think that 'ls -lr | wc -l' will recursively count all the files, I could be wrong though
[16:55] <KaffeeJunky123> Does any one know how to provide a mobile boardband connection to my local ethernet?
[16:55] <erUSUL> indian_munnda: the gnu assembler is called "as" and comes in binutils... if you have gcc installed you have it installed

[16:55] <indian_munnda> erUSUL: i have a small program a.asm which just print a character but when i m compiling that using nasm a.asm but its giving me error but in windows masm it working fine....
[16:55] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic> Booting to live CD always takes longer. If you're installing "within windows" I assume you mean wubi, which I can't help with. Why not just do a clean, dual boot install?
[16:55] <KaffeeJunky123> erUSUL: Thanks alot, I had no Idea what to search for so I found nothing :)
[16:56] <erUSUL> AFLunatic: those errors come from the linux sata/ata drivers. either your hard-disk sata cable controller has a problem or there is a kernel bug

[16:56] <AFLunatic> and I'm trying to do a clean install, it gives me the error either way
[16:56] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic> That's OK, so am I
[16:56] <erUSUL> AFLunatic: is the same linux uses a common infrastructure for both sata and ide (libata)
[16:56] <Sidewinder1> !who | AFLunatic>

[16:58] <SecretStory> irens3
[16:58] <AFLunatic> I can't even boot the Demo to test out Ubuntu
[16:58] <The_Jag> karakh: me too, :( thanks btw!!!
[16:59] <erUSUL> AFLunatic: as i said i dunno could be a kernel bug or problem with your hardware. check that all ide cables and power lines are plugged ok. check your hard disks etc... if everything is ok (i.e. other OSes work just fine) then is a kernel bug. in that case try another ubuntu version and/or report it
[16:59] <karakh> The_Jag: np, check out this tutorial, see if it'll help: http://www.softpanorama.org/Tools/Find/using_exec_option_and_xargs_in_find.shtml
[16:59] <AFLunatic> Is there a big difference between 9.04 and 8.04?
[16:59] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic> What happens when you try to boot the demo?
[17:00] <The_Jag> karakh: i'll do thanks!
[17:00] <AFLunatic> It gives me the DRDY ERR
[17:00] <AFLunatic> and just keeps scrolling for like an hour
[17:01] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>When you downloaded the iso, did you do an "md5sum" check to verify?
[17:01] <janhaj> Hello.. i am tuning my icons on ubuntu.. Can you please tell me, where can i change amarok (1.4) icon, which is in gnome-panel? Please, excuse my english.. i am from czech republic

[17:01] <AFLunatic> 11 hours now
[17:01] <AFLunatic> Sidewinder1, no
[17:01] <sharperguy> Ok that's the second day in a row that my x-server just died spontaneously. VirtualBox was running both times. The first time i opened my laptop to find it had died, this time it happened just as I opened it (in other words not while i was actually using it)
[17:01] <Sidewinder1> St
[17:01] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>Stand by, I type very slowly
[17:02] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> brb
[17:02] <AFLunatic> k
[17:03] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic> That may be it. Do a search for a winbloze campatible "md5sum" program and check the hash against what you downloaded. If that checks out, maybe you burned to disk at too fast a speed. Do it as slow (3X?) as you can.
[17:04] <AFLunatic> i just did a checksum on the iso
[17:04] <AFLunatic> md5sum: WARNING: 67 of 68 listed files could not be read
[17:04] <AFLunatic> md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksum did NOT match

[17:04] <AFLunatic> That's what it says
[17:04] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>Found your problem!!!
[17:05] <AFLunatic> Bad ISO?
[17:05] <Sidewinder1> Yes
[17:05] <Sidewinder1> Redownload
[17:05] <erUSUL> indian_munnda: i do no do asm programming maybe in ##c or in another programming channels you find more help.

[17:05] <karakh> does anyone have trouble getting gnome-do to recognize your firefox bookmarks?
[17:06] <AFLunatic> I downloaded the torrent
[17:06] <AFLunatic> Cause it was extremely fast
[17:06] <AFLunatic> I'm assuming I shouldn't download the torrent?
[17:06] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>Then chk md5sum, reburn at slow speed, you might want to clean your burner if it's dusty :-)
[17:07] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>Nothing wrong with torrents
[17:07] <AFLunatic> Just to be clear, while running the md5sum.. the command is '>md5sum -c ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso'
[17:07] <AFLunatic> Right?
[17:07] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>Go to a torrent site listed at ubuntu.com
[17:08] <mikejet> How do I play this radio feed?   Firefox starts up xine, but xine just buffers foever and never plays anything: http://www.bloomberg.com/tvradio/radio/#
[17:08] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>Looks right to me; the proof is the error messages that it returned.
[17:09] <AFLunatic> Should I download 'Ubuntu alternate' or 'Ubuntu desktop'?
[17:10] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>After 11 hrs. I certainly understand your frustration!
[17:10] <quappa> Are CD/DVD artwork sources available for community? I'd like to organize a giveaway party in my university and print 100-200 disks.
[17:10] <jasa> adam, you around ?
[17:10] <AFLunatic> Yea, i'm dying for sleep but not until I get this working
[17:10] <Sidewinder1> desktop, you might want to try Hardy Heron as it's a long term service version.
[17:11] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>HH is what I'm using
[17:11] <karakh> quappa: If you're doing that, I'd recommend using Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu. And yes there are loads of covers/labels avaliable
[17:11] <Sidewinder1> Also, if you're tired may I make a suggestion?
[17:13] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>You may wish to sleep and come back when you're fresh. I know I make more "bone-head" choices and decisions when I'm tired.

[17:24] <Nolan> why cant i install abrowser 3.5 and firefox 3.5 at the the same time

[17:24] <dzibo> please someone help me with video cals in ubunt
[17:24] <IsmAvatar> Hello all. I shut down incorrectly and now fsck is exiting with error status 4, complaining about sda5, which contains Ubuntu. I keep running into this problem, and I usually wind up reinstalling Ubuntu. Is there a better solution to this?
[17:25] <Nolan> yeah im pretting sure you can run some sort of scan and it will fix it
[17:25] <felipe__> karakh, no. On status line, it says it is Playing the music. But on the controls, nothing changes. And no sound.
[17:25] <Nolan> i rem reading that somewhere
[17:25] <karakh> felipe_: do you have python-backend-xine installed?
[17:26] <felipe__> karakh, how i see it?
[17:26] <karakh> felipe_: in terminal:sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-xine
[17:26] <karakh> sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-gstreamer
[17:26] <karakh> felipe_: no, wait
[17:26] <felipe__> karakh, ok.
[17:27] <karakh> felipe_: sudo apt-get install python-backend-xine
[17:27] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> hi people
[17:27] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> How can I make xchat gnomke list users
[17:27] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> ?
[17:27] <tool> what happens when software can't get installed
[17:27] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> xchat gnome*
[17:28] <th0r> Lukasz_Tarkowski: right click - View - User list
[17:28] <IsmAvatar> tool: you'll get an error message saying so.
[17:28] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> thank you ;)
[17:28] <Sidewinder1> IsmAvatar>Also if your system locks, shut down this way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
[17:28] <tool> it's interesting because there is no message
[17:28] <tool> and software doesn't get installed
[17:29] <felipe__> karakh, It says it's impossible lock the admin dir
[17:29] <coz_> felipe_,  do you have synapitc opened?
[17:29] <karakh> felipe_, do you have admin privileges?
[17:29] <felipe1__> karakh, yes.
[17:29] <IsmAvatar> tool: how do you know that it's not installed?
[17:29] <karakh> felipe_, is amarok still open?
[17:29] <felipe1__> karakh, closing the synaptic
[17:29] <jrlaughlin> anybody have experience setting up postfix?
[17:30] <karakh> felipe1__: ah, lol
[17:30] <felipe1__> karakh, no. amarok closed
[17:30] <tool> because when i use synaptic package manager it shows me the sw is not installed
[17:30] <Sidewinder1> tool> Are you certain that it wasn't installed? Some programs execute only from the command line.
[17:30] <tool> tried that too
[17:30] <karakh> felipe1__: ok, then do: sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-xine
[17:31] <tool> apps won't install or uninstall
[17:31] <felipe1__> karakh, impossible to find the package
[17:31] <karakh> felipe1__: then: sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-gstreamer
[17:31] <tool> in the synaptics package manager the terminal is completely blank
[17:31] <karakh> felipe1__: hmm,
[17:31] <jrlaughlin> I went through the postfix setup page and all seems well except for the line that is supposed to say 250-AUTH says 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN....is that ok?
[17:31] <Sidewinder1> tool> What progie are you trying to install?
[17:31] <felipe1__> karakh, phonon-backend-gstreamer not installed
[17:32] <karakh> felipe1__:  no problem, try running amarok from a terminal, and see if it throws any errors
[17:33] <felipe1__> karakh, just type amarok?
[17:33] <karakh> felipe1__:  yup
[17:33] <jrlaughlin> no takers for a postfix question?
[17:33] <grawity> jrlaughlin: It should have both probably.
[17:33] <grawity> jrlaughlin: The AUTH= one was required for some old Microsoft crapware.
[17:33] <IsmAvatar> Sidewinder: I'll be sure to use that next time, but is there anyway to get Linux back once I have shut down incorrectly and run into this 'exit status 4'?
[17:33] <tool> apps won't install or uninstall
[17:34] <jrlaughlin> hmm.
[17:34] <jrlaughlin> ok thanks grawity
[17:34] <tool> and the terminal has no messages
[17:34] <Sidewinder1> tool> This is gonna sound like a dumb question, and I'm not trying to be insulting but did you click on the "All" button or "installed"?
[17:34] <felipe1__> karakh, back in a moment.
[17:34] <tool> all
[17:34] <simplexio> tool: apt-get install -f
[17:35] <tool> tried that
[17:35] <tool> nothing is working
[17:35] <paddeltje> tool: do you have any sources listed? (System - Administration - Software Sources or look in /etc/apt/sources.list)
[17:35] <Sidewinder1> tool> I can't understand why it'd be blank.
[17:35] <tool> neither can I
[17:35] <tool> before that I got error code 1
[17:35] <Sidewinder1> tool> try what simplexo said.
[17:35] <tool> for example
[17:36] <tool> if i try sudo cat>
[17:36] <tool> it will tell me permission denied
[17:36] <beasty> lol
[17:36] <tool> just trying to find out what is happening
[17:36] <beasty> mm
[17:37] <beasty> u are trying to sudo cat foo > bar ?
[17:37] <IsmAvatar> are you not a sudoer?
[17:37] <beasty> tool: u are trying to sudo cat foo > bar ?
[17:37] <Sidewinder1> tool> sudo apt-get install -f
[17:37] <Gnea> tool: does firefox work?
[17:37] <tool> yes
[17:37] <tool> all my apps work
[17:37] <tool> just can't install or uninstall new ones
[17:38] <Gnea> tool: cool, then you can pastebin the output of these commands, please:  ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list   and  df -Th
[17:38] <tool> -f doesn't work
[17:38] <paddeltje> tool: do you have any sources listed? (System - Administration - Software Sources or look in /etc/apt/sources.list)
[17:38] <Gnea> !pastebin
[17:38] <Gnea> or not
[17:39] <beasty> what a tool :p
[17:39] <Sidewinder1> lol
[17:40] <beasty> Sidewinder1: is your name tom ?
[17:40] <Sidewinder1> negative
[17:40] <beasty> ok
[17:40] <Sidewinder1> np
[17:41] <beasty> Sidewinder1: you dislike language errors and are you always try to correct people who make them ?
[17:41] <grawity> trying*
[17:41] <beasty> whatever :p
[17:41] <Sidewinder1> beasty>Been readin' my wiki corrections eh?
[17:41] <beasty> worktime is over :p
[17:41] <beasty> Sidewinder1: ?
[17:42] <Lukas___> Hello, if I install Karmic Koala alpha, when the final release be launched can upgrade and get a final system or need to install from clean ???
[17:42] <dehqan> #vlc
[17:42] <beasty> Sidewinder1: i can conclude now that having a name like yours or variant holds the same personality ;)
[17:43] <Sidewinder1> beasty>Actually, I don't correct people, that would be somewhat rude. :-)
[17:44] <m3F> i reinstalled windows in hda1 and now Gparted is not able to see the particions in the disk hda, is it possible that windows XP has remove the partitions table?
[17:44] <Sidewinder1> beasty> On occasion.
[17:45] <Sidewinder1> m3f> It's GRUB that needs to be reinstalled.
[17:45] <kaushal> hi
[17:45] <kaushal> anybody using autossh ?
[17:45] <m3F> need help about it because Supergrubdisk cannot solve my problem, and also any livecd could
[17:46] <George> !vnc
[17:46] <George> !freenx
[17:46] <paddeltje> !grub
[17:46] <beasty> kaushal: what is autossh ?
[17:46] <kaushal> beasty: man autossh
[17:47] <grawity> kaushal: "No manual entry for autossh"
[17:47] <m3F> Sidewinder1: i have no way to install grub again. Supergrubdisk says that there is something wrong with the grub in the partition that contains Ubuntu Karmic, maybe because it is Grub2
[17:47] <IsmAvatar> hey all, I fixed my problem
[17:47] <kaushal> apt-get install autossh
[17:47] <grawity> "-bash: apt-get: command not found"
[17:47] <IsmAvatar> I had to do "sudo fsck /dev/sda5" and then answer "y" (for yes) to all the "fix this?" questions
[17:48] <loonie> Hi !
[17:48] <grawity> kaushal: Dude, if you want help with something, you need to _explain_ what the <beep> you want.
[17:48] <bernie_> has anyone used firefox in karmic yet?
[17:48] <loonie> i'm having a problem with the sound
[17:49] <lstarnes> bernie_: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for karmic

[17:55] <cellofellow> All of a sudden /bin/dbus-daemon is hoggin my CPU. It started doing this yesterday.
[17:55] <th0r> raul: you have to put the ubuntu cd in the cd drive
[17:56] <Sidewinder1> ROFL
[17:56] <grawity> rapep_: Are you using nvidiafb or vesafb?
[17:56] <raul> ok

[17:56] <th0r> raul: reboot the computer
[17:56] <paddeltje> ROFLMAO

[17:57] <paddeltje> My cat is looking at me funny: "boy, he's lost it now!"
[17:57] <Sidewinder1> I better keep my mouth shut while I'm ahead...
[17:57] <raul> I have done that and installed ubuntu, but what else can I do?
[17:58] <cellofellow> why is dbus-daemon going nuts
[17:58] <cellofellow> ?
[17:58] <Sidewinder1> No,...shut-up Side... Side slaps himself silly..
[17:58] <mikejet> How do I configure firefox to play this audio stream ? currently firefox starts "xine", which just buffers forever: http://www.bloomberg.com/tvradio/radio/#
[17:58] <rapep_> grawity???
[17:58] <linuxwarrior> raul: recovery mode ?
[17:59] <RFXC> cd ..
[17:59] <raul> oh, yes thank you!
[17:59] <RFXC> #leave
[18:00] <mikejet> i've never quite understood firefox extensions, especially media plugins.
[18:00] <raul> adios bobos!!
[18:00] <RFXC> quit
[18:00] <grawity> mikejet: extensions != plugins
[18:00] <diabolic_> what is the equivalent of nero on ubunutu 904
[18:00] <grawity> diabolic_: Brasero
[18:00] <cellofellow>  /bin/dbus-daemon is hogging 30% of my CPU and making my system heat up. It's also nut running nice so it's slowing it down too.
[18:00] <mikejet> grawity, which one do I want to play audio?
[18:00] <rapep_> diabolic, nero linux
[18:00] <janisozaur> can i change ntfs volume label using ubuntu?

[18:03] <karakh> felipe1__: yup
[18:03] <karakh> felipe1__: just been thinking, is your output set to 'alsa' in amarok
[18:03] <felipe1__> how i see it?
[18:03] <felipe1__> karakh, how i see it?
[18:04] <raul> bye boobies, geeks, flawed to your computer!
[18:04] <karakh> felipe1__: in options or preferences (i dont have amarok installed atm)
[18:04] <felipe1__> karakh, k
[18:04] <karakh> felipe1__: afk 2 mins
[18:04] <joscht> does anyone know any good books for beginners in python?
[18:04] <DasEi> mikejet: got your answer ?
[18:04] <raul> insane!
[18:05] <mikejet> DasEi, I have no clue.
[18:05] <arvind_khadri> joscht, just a min
[18:05] <cellofellow> joscht: Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional is how I started.
[18:05] <felipe1__> karakh, i think i found the problem
[18:05] <felipe1__> karakh, just dont know how to solve
[18:05] <felipe1__> karakh, see:
[18:05] <joscht> kool i will check it out see if i can afford it
[18:06] <felipe1__> karakh, I opened amarok by the terminal as you said.
[18:06] <DasEi> mikejet:sudo apt-get install  install mozilla-plugin-vlc  vlc
[18:06] <arvind_khadri> joscht, http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Python its an online book
[18:06] <raul> insane
[18:06] <felipe1__> When i try to play any file, on terminal appears:
[18:06] <raul> boobies
[18:06] <karakh> felipe1__: back
[18:06] <felipe1__> karakh, i think i found the problem
[18:07] <felipe1__> karakh, just dont know how to solve
[18:07] <felipe1__> karakh, I opened amarok by the terminal as you said.
[18:07] <karakh> felipe1__: k
[18:07] <felipe1__> karakh,  When i try to play any file, on terminal appears:
[18:07] <DasEi> mikejet: also make sure scripts are allowed, if any blockers installed
[18:07] <felipe1__> karakh,  amarok(18210) Amarok2ConfigDialog::~Amarok2ConfigDialog: ""

[18:07] <joscht> thanks guys i think i will buy the Beginning Python book if i can find it at borders and use the online guide
[18:08] <felipe1__> sorry
[18:08] <karakh> felipe1__: thats odd...
[18:08] <karakh> felipe1__: try googling the error
[18:09] <mikejet> DasEi: Thanks! That fixes it. I can play that bloomberg.com radio feed now on linux.
[18:09] <felipe1__> karakh, ok
[18:09] <DasEi> mikejet: nice
[18:09] <mikejet> DasEi : Im a little confused how installing the mozilla-plugin-vlc overwrites the old plugin that was handling that media type.
[18:10] <rainman> wow~
[18:10] <mikejet> DasEi : Why isn't this default if xine doesn't even work?
[18:11] <wng_z3r0> do man pages exist for the kernel api, and if so, what is the command to install them?
[18:11] <Turl> hi
[18:11] <DasEi> mikejet: vlc is not ubuntu-native, though opensource, so it's third party software, not included per default
[18:11] <Guest7373> who here hates windows?
[18:11] <Turl> something odd is going in here
[18:11] <Turl> I installed postgresql
[18:11] <Turl> and it doesn't bring the config files :/
[18:11] <DasEi> !ot | Guest7373
[18:11] <karakh> felipe1__: try installing xine-lib-extras-freeworld
[18:12] <Guest7373> where is the best place to rant and blow off steam?
[18:12] <felipe1__> karakh, ok.. sudo -i xine-lib-extras-freeworld ?
[18:12] <felipe1__> karakh, ok.. sudo apt-get -i xine-lib-extras-freeworld ?
[18:12] <cellofellow> Guest7373: your obscure blog
[18:13] <karakh> felipe1__: sudo apt-get install xine-lib-extras-freeworld
[18:13] <felipe1__> karakh, ok
[18:13] <Guest7373> no really - what channels are good for ranting on?
[18:13] <thiebaude> !offtopic | Guest7373
[18:13] <Guest7373> off topic my ass. some support
[18:13] <felipe1__> karakh, impossible to find the pakage
[18:14] <felixsulla> So, I downloaded and installed Opera 10.. I think it installed it to my desktop. That seems wrong :/
[18:14] <felipe1__> karakh, impossible to find the package
[18:14] <felixsulla> How do you see where a program is installed?
[18:14] <karakh> felipe1__: hmm
[18:15] <karakh> felipe1__: did you check what the 'output' was set to in amarok?
[18:15] <felipe1__> karakh,  yes. my audio card
[18:15] <karakh> felipe1__: is there an option for 'alsa'?
[18:15] <JessicaParker> hey not been around for a while but recent update of ubuntu - and firefox mozilla is running very very slow
[18:16] <JessicaParker> ive updated for ivp6 settings as well
[18:16] <JessicaParker> anyone else having the same issue ?
[18:16] <JessicaParker> thanks
[18:16] <aoupi> hey, I have a volume control on the side of my laptop, can I lower the sensitivity of it (phrased differently, can I lower the volume increase caused by 'Volume Up' action in keyboard shortucts?)
[18:16] <thiebaude> JessicaParker, i did, so i switched to opera 10
[18:16] <Leonard> JessicaParker: it is possible it's just the browser
[18:16] <Leonard> some of the most recent ones are running very slow
[18:17] <Leonard> Also though, do you have any add-ons installed?
[18:17] <felipe1__> karakh, it's the name of my sound card plus Alsa
[18:17] <JessicaParker> I didn't want to switch to opera as I was really a fan of mozilla, no major add ons installed - just image grabber and the ad blocking stuff
[18:17] <karakh> felipe1__: k
[18:17] <Leonard> sure
[18:18] <JessicaParker> why do they farm out this untested software, anyone who is new to this will just give up, its hard enough converting from windows
[18:18] <Leonard> well for the sake of being sure it might be worth running in safe mode and compare how many resources are being used
[18:18] <Leonard> Firefox has the same (if not worse) issue on Windows to be fair
[18:18] <mikejet> DasEi, I notice in Firefox->Edit->Preferences->Applications that many Content Types are still using Xine. Shouldn't VLC plugin change all those too?
[18:19] <JessicaParker> how do you run this on safe mode ?
[18:19] <nath_born> Boa tarde a todos, será que alguém pode me ajudar?
[18:19] <thiebaude> !es
[18:20] <erUSUL> !br | nath_born
[18:20] <JessicaParker> Leonard: it even takes an age to boot up
[18:20] <karakh> felipe1__: its definately a libxine problem, but there are so many libxine* options in synaptic that I cant be sure which one you'll need
[18:20] <Marshall> How can I add the "show desktop" button to my desktop, or menu - not the toolbar?
[18:20] <cellofellow> help! my cpu is being hogged by /bin/dbus-daemon. It's using 30% of my CPU for no apparent reason.
[18:21] <felipe1__> karakh, hum
[18:21] <theatro> cellofellow, use the cmd lsof to see what it is using it
[18:22] <rich_dnb> guys, how can I setup auto mouting of filesystems for logging into X
[18:22] <DasEi> mikejet: ff decides for a given content what to use best for, which usually works fine, now it can use vlc's libraries, too; another good idea is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras (more codecs and stuff)
[18:22] <Marshall> this is a busy place :o
[18:23] <cellofellow> theatro: any specific lsof options?
[18:23] <cellofellow> theatro: like a specific socket to look at?
[18:23] <theatro> cellofellow, no, I cant recomment anything, research it
[18:23] <cellofellow> k
[18:23] <karakh> felipe1__: just out of curiosity, how did you install amarok?
[18:23] <felixsulla> I have downloaded Opera 10 in a tar.gz, how will I know where to install it?
[18:24] <reggieP123> so how come there will only be one beta release for Karmic
[18:24] <felipe1__> karakh, add/remove apps

[18:30] <huffcs> Need help with a new install.  Test install to 15GB disk worked ok, but when I went to use a 40GB disk, it won't boot into the new system.  Comes up to "grub>" and stops.  The command "find /boot/grub/stage1" fails, but "find /grub/stage1" finds it on (hd0,0) as expected.  Is the difference because I put /boot on its own partition?  Looked at menu.lst and it appears okay, too.  Now what?

[18:35] <rich_dnb> i thought samba was more reliable the NFS even for linux to linux
[18:35] <sczgilae> erUSUL: it says "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping". can i "clean" the routing table?

[18:55] <APirateIsFree> whats the difference between ram and a swap space , they both cache ?
[18:56] <fccf> erika1984: recovery mode in a kernel that isn't happy with your system can just cause more problems, consider rolling back by editing out /boot/grub/menu.lst ' s new kernel

[18:56] <Lus> Does anyone here know enough about the differences between iptables and ip route to help me with a multi-interface routing issue? :)
[18:56] <pshr> APirateIsFree, most frequent instructions are stored in RAM, while when RAM needs to be freed up swap gets used
[18:56] <erika1984> is it sometimes the latest kernel build
[18:57] <pshr> Both are basically caching u can say
[18:57] <erika1984> thats the problem
[18:57] <DasEi> mikejet: if you need more, see :
[18:57] <fccf> Lus: most of what you would need to do can be done in /etc/network/interfaces ... see man interfaces ... also man ufw
[18:57] <DasEi> !fonts
[18:58] <pshr> Lus, did you go through man pages, it'd have enough :P
[18:58] <APirateIsFree> pshr, so the bigger the swap is the less ram you need as the ram can dump it self more often?
[18:58] <Gnea> rich_dnb: okay?
[18:58] <Lus> I've read the man pages on iptables and ip, but didn't think that I'd be able to do it all from network/interfaces.  I'll go read up on ufw and interfaces now, thanks!
[18:59] <Lostinspace_46> I found a web page awhile ago, where one could D/L linux/ubuntu files. Not the pkgs, but individual files.  I somehow lost the bookmark for it.  Does anyone know the site?
[18:59] <pshr> APirateIsFree, the time taken to fetch instructions from ram is far more less than to fetch from swap, when ever a cache mis occurs it needs to check out in the swap area

[19:09] <m1len> x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;x7;
[19:09] <m1len> reset don't fix that
[19:09] <m1len> the encoding is utf 8

[19:10] <m1len> ok sorry
[19:10] <m4x> A few days ago I got a kernel panic and now sometimes when I turn on my computer (before grub loads) my computer will freeze at the vendor bootscreen, in my case its lenova, this has never happened to me before and has happened twice since the kernel panic, should I reinstall my os?
[19:10] <agroker> accidentally deleted the Gnome panel with Programs, Preferences etc - how to get it back?
[19:10] <grawity> !resetpanel

[19:11] <Iyunkateus> I know it's a bot
[19:11] <noobhunte1>  @arleslie : you can use crossover
[19:11] <Iyunkateus> Just saying, it should know anything about kernel panic
[19:11] <m1len> my compatibility is set to default - ASCll and Escape Sequence. Since it's 4 days installation nothing is really "touched"
[19:12] <m4x> Iyunkateus, can you help me with my above question?
[19:12] <foobiefoocakes> i have software raid1, but now i want to have regular, uninteractive backups for my data.  i have ubuntu jaunty.  what are the best services / approaches to this?
[19:12] <FrankyD> !your mom
[19:12] <arleslie> noobhunte1, I'll check that out if vbox isn't what I'm looking for
[19:12] <viano> :p
[19:12] <FrankyD> oh well...
[19:12] <rich_dnb> grrr
[19:12] <foobiefoocakes> online backups that is
[19:12] <Iyunkateus> !botabuse | FrankyD
[19:12] <Sidewinder1> m4x> Sounds like a hardware problem, mobo etc.
[19:12] <fccf> foobiefoocakes: ubuntuone
[19:12] <loz_> DasEi:  56 MB in  3.00 seconds =  18.65 MB/sec
[19:13] <viano> #
[19:13] <m4x> Sidewinder1, would reinstalling help?
[19:13] <m1len> anyone had similiar terminal problems?
[19:13] <foobiefoocakes> fccf, not big enough i have greater than 10GB of data
[19:14] <DasEi> loz_: thats average for an ide-usb combo, I think, else need sata 1 or 2
[19:14] <Sidewinder1> m4x> Not if the problem is hardware related, ie: your motherboard or one of it's chips is bad. Try booting to live CD and see what happens.
[19:14] <FrankyD> anyone can help me with Evolution? Setting up an account to send e-mail via the server he is supposed to?
[19:14] <DasEi> loz_: my internal sataII gives 75 MB/s
[19:15] <loz_> DasEi: i checked my main hard drive, the one i boot from and i get this:  236 MB in  3.01 seconds =  78.39 MB/sec
[19:15] <m4x> Sidewinder1, alright but I know I can boot into a live cd, its just that sometimes the bootup will freeze at the vendor logo and I have to manually shut it down, and then restart, this just happened a couple days after the kernel panic
[19:15] <sebsebseb> hi
[19:16] <fccf> foobiefoocakes: looks like www.mediafire.com might have what you want
[19:16] <DasEi> loz_: the one reason is external enclosure run ide, not sata mostly, the other is usb, not faste r on another os, too
[19:16] <pshr> !hi | sebsebseb
[19:16] <Craig`> hello guys
[19:16] <XtoTheZ> anybody here for printer issues?
[19:16] <sebsebseb> pshr: hi :)
[19:16] <foobiefoocakes> any thoughts towards jungledisk?

[19:16] <pshr> hello sebsebseb
 http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server [19:14] <Craig`> I'm using that tut, but it says create test.php, so I do so, and then try to move test.php to /var/www/ but it gives me error; saying I'm not alowd to do so?
[19:17] <XtoTheZ> fccf: i try to share printer in local network, printer is connected to my desktop pc via usb, but i get next error: This print share is not accessible
[19:17] <XtoTheZ> ubottu: i already asked but none replied
[19:17] <loz_> DasEi: make's sense, i guess i ll just have to be patient, the real bummer is that i wanted to transfer some 7 GB files over to my Mac lappy for burning them, but looks imposible as my external drive is not recognized under mac in EXT3 format, what a waste of an afternoon!
[19:18] <Sidewinder1> m4x> That's beyond my ability, sorry, but if you can boot by bypassing, if it keeps up, you could remove the vendor's partition. I would check with someone more knowlegable than I brfore doing that.
[19:18] <jon5000> greetings.  does anyone know whether ati now supports ubuntu linux 9.04 via the proprietary driver.
[19:18] <blackxored> hello anyone is aware of a free open source implementation of a RIA technology for ubuntu, I mean something like silverlight, flex, or javafx???
[19:18] <pshr> jon5000, You always have 3rd party drivers
[19:18] <darthlukan> sorry for dc, i am on a phone after all :-)
[19:18] <fccf> foobiefoocakes: see post #12 here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622570&page=2 for info on jungledisk
[19:19] <DasEi> loz_: I use no mac , but can't mac read ntfs ? or ext3 with a plugin like in windows ? you can also rsync a file over ssh, if you set up a ssh server on the mac
 http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server [19:14] <Craig`> I'm using that tut, but it says create test.php, so I do so, and then try to move test.php to /var/www/ but it gives me error; saying I'm not alowd to do so? .. help please
[19:19] <pshr> NERDS
[19:19] <datechman> DasEi, Mac can read NTFS easily
[19:20] <jon5000> pshr, third part driver from ati not available for 9.04; open source drivers for 9.04 do not render 3D.
[19:20] <DasEi> loz_: saw datechman ?  format usb to ntfs, copy, use at mac
[19:20] <loz_> DasEi: that is exactly what i was thinking, but i have not got a clue withssh, is it complicated?
[19:20] <pshr> jon5000, well safely working over nVidia atleast
[19:21] <fccf> blackxored: moonlight is a implementation as a firefox plugin ... info here http://patrickyong.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/browsing-silverlight-website-with-ubuntu-using-moonlight/
[19:21] <VickiWong> Quick question. Trying to install Ubuntu from USB but stalls after selecting Keyboard settings. GParted also stalls at searching partitions
[19:21] <jon5000> ati is a completely different story.  i asked about ATI
[19:21] <loz_> DasEi: will ntfs take a 7 gb file?
[19:21] <DasEi> loz_: not at all, but I'm overasked to set up ssh for mac, yes, no prob with 7 g
[19:21] <blackxored> fccf, I was aware about moonlight => silverlight for mono
[19:21] <blackxored> fccf, don't like it
[19:21] <loz_> DasEi: i will try ntfs then
[19:21] <blackxored> fccf, I avoid .NET as much as I can
[19:22] <blackxored> fccf, I was actually looking for something more rubyist ;D
[19:22] <darthlukan> jon5000: i have prop ati drivers on my desktop. but i lost sound in jaunty over hdmi
[19:22]  * pshr @_@
[19:22] <jon5000> nVidia has not been a prob.  but ATI's lack of support for linux combined with thier unwillingness to let the community in on thier pror drivers has prevented me from upgrading
[19:22] <DasEi> loz_: sudo apt-get install gparted,   then run it as root
[19:22] <jon5000> darthlukan, what video card do you use?
[19:22] <DasEi> loz_: I'll check ssh for mac
[19:23] <darthlukan> ati hd3870
[19:23] <pshr> darthlukan, sweet
[19:23] <datechman> If there an update to Firefox 3.5 for Ubuntu 9.04
[19:24] <fccf> blackxored: very limited by propriety right now ... could be an interesting year in web UI's... wanna rewrite moonlight?
[19:24] <darthlukan> running in hw xfire, still working out the bugs though, mostly fan speeds and loss of sound
[19:25] <blackxored> fccf, I saw something about flex3 + rails, but flex still doesn't buy me
[19:25] <jess12345> can someone help  recent upgrade and x is dead
[19:25] <nation> i need to convert video from avi to mpeg 2 or dvd quality  so my x box can read it

[19:26] <szczym> how i could diagnose what happens at boot time around rc.local ? where it is loged ?
[19:26] <blackxored> fccf, I should probably stick to ajax for the moment, or probably get a try to silverlight techs
[19:26] <blackxored> dunno
[19:27] <mikejet> Will 10.10 have any big famous performance improvements?
[19:27] <mikejet> or 9.10 I think.
[19:27] <BlackViper2> mikejet, 9.10 doses
[19:27] <grodius> hi linux friends whats the shell command to logout of current user
[19:27] <BlackViper2> does
[19:27] <VickiWong> whats everyone looking forward to the most in 9.10
[19:27] <grawity> grodius: 'logout'
[19:28] <fccf> !ot | VickiWong
[19:28] <grodius> grawity: already tried that doesnt seem to be it
[19:28] <mikejet> VickiWong, I'm always insterested in the desktop UI aestetics.
[19:28] <BlackViper2> VickiWong, new login, faster boot times etc
[19:28] <VickiWong> fccf, my bad thought was for general ubuntu talk too :D
[19:29] <loz_> DaEsi: for some reason, i can't choose ntfs on gparted
[19:29] <grodius> grawity: i get 'not login shell: use exit'
[19:29] <fccf> VickiWong: this is a busy channel, we don't 'talk' much as we give support, your discussion is great, but better for #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:29] <grodius> grawity: but exit just closes the current term
[19:29] <rich_dnb> grrr anyone good at samba?
[19:29] <jess12345> sorry to ask again but :  can someone help  recent upgrade and x is dead i cant seem to reconfigure it either
[19:29] <VickiWong> Quick question. Trying to install Ubuntu from USB but stalls after selecting Keyboard settings. GParted also stalls at searching partitions
[19:30] <foobiefoocakes> do folks here recommend encrypting online backups throughs s3?  for personal data ?
[19:30] <grodius> does anyone in here know what the shell command is to log out of the signed in user
[19:30] <philluminati> logout
[19:31] <szczym> helo what might be wrong when a script placed in /etc/rc.local is not working on boot but when i run it from shell, its working ?
[19:31] <fccf> loz_: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs
[19:31] <fccf> foobiefoocakes: isn't that the idea with amazon's service?
[19:31] <maxsteel> how to ship a ubuntu CD at my place
[19:32] <fccf> maxsteel: shipit.ubuntu.com
[19:32] <philluminati> szczym: maybe it works under your account because of your envvironmental variables, eg. current directory etc which aren't set during boot
[19:32] <foobiefoocakes> fccf, you can choose to have it encrypted with pgp; or just upload via https
[19:33] <szczym> philluminati: in a script i have autossh so its kind of user independed
[19:33] <Sidewinder1> maxsteel>Call UPS
[19:33] <fccf> foobiefoocakes: with pgp you have the key, with https you are sending over an encrypted connection, either way your data is safe
[19:33] <oobe> .
[19:33] <philluminati> szctym: I presume networking is already up at the point its invoked
[19:35] <philluminati> szczym: does autossh need access to your secure keys? because the perms on your .ssh directory will be locked down
[19:36] <jess12345> sorry to ask again but :  can someone help  recent upgrade and x is dead i cant seem to reconfigure it either
[19:36] <loz_> DaEsi: it won't format to ntfs, i get  /dev/sdc1 is mounted, refusing to make file here!
[19:37] <fccf> jess12345: have you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[19:37] <szczym> philluminati: in the script i have autossh -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
[19:37] <DasEi> loz_: almost lost your talk(nick); you go to unmount it first , and you'll loose all content of sdb1;; install ntfs-programs, too, restart gparted
[19:38] <pw-toxic> hi .. i have installed samba and i want a folder to be accessible why windows users without a password
[19:38] <pw-toxic> there is "public = yes" for this folder in smb.conf
[19:38] <paddy2k> hea is anyone else havin trouble with installing 9.10 on a netbook?
[19:38] <pw-toxic> but it doesnt work ;(
[19:38] <jess12345> fccf: akready run this, but without the -phigh will try again
[19:38] <fccf> !karmic | paddy2k
[19:38] <DasEi> loz_: *** ntfsprogs is correct packagename
[19:39] <loz_> DasEi: wow, it seems to have worker, and the file transfer rate is a lot better
[19:39] <paddy2k> thanks gonna move to ubuntu+1
[19:39] <philluminati> szczym: if the script runs as root, try copying the key from that user's directory into root's
[19:39] <jess12345> fccf: begin -- compilation aborted at /usr/share/per15/debconf/template.om line7
[19:39] <philluminati> Or rather you may need to generate a key for root and install it remotely
[19:40] <philluminati> so that root can have automatic logins
[19:40] <loz_> DasEi: i willknow in 5 minutes if it works on my Mac lappy, which by the way is not a patch as good as my nifty ubuntu!
[19:40] <szczym> philluminati: i will do so, thanx!
[19:40] <jess12345> fccf: cant locate posix.pm in @inc /etc/perl/use/local/lib
[19:40] <mesut> hi,is there a tool (other than umtsmon which didnt work me) to send and recieve SMS using usb huawei 3G modem (which works on ubuntu)
[19:40] <fccf> jess12345: what did you upgrade to?
[19:40] <b3rz3rk3r> evening gents
[19:41] <DasEi> loz_: I don't hink so, but hdparm -t tells you, nice if you made it;; as told above ssh is set up easily on mac, but copying over network is always slower, like 3mb/s occur often on 100mb net
[19:41] <Sidewinder1> !hi | b3rz3rk3r>
[19:42] <jess12345> fccf: not sure just did a apt-get update or something like that
[19:42] <PlasmaSheep> Anybody know a good high dynamic range image creation program that can handle RAW files (if not, then tiff)?
[19:42] <cow_PNB> ytkty
[19:42] <chuckc> whenever i transfer a file >100megs over network from 9.04 to another computer via NFS , Netatalk or even http, the transfer starts and ten pauses after some time.  Then I am disconnected from the 9.04 computer.  It is either a few minutes before i can then connect to the computer again.  any ideas how to make network file transfers work?
[19:43] <jess12345> fccf:  this is a disaster
[19:43] <wolf> wolf
[19:43] <fccf> mesut: you will need gsm-utils
[19:43] <Matson> is there a program / way I can collect current network bandwidth usage for a single process?  to "wrap" the running process with another that will output bandwidth periodically?
[19:43] <fccf> jess12345: relax we'll figure this out
[19:43] <fccf> jess12345: sudo apt-get -f install
[19:43] <Matson> or perhaps is there a way to collect current statistics about network bandwidth on a single port?
[19:43] <DasEi> chuckc: nfs should work,  rsync is a professional tool
[19:44] <th0r> Matson: darkstat will, I think, do individual ports
[19:44] <chuckc> DasEi: yes, i have nfs setup, i can transfer smaller files fine.  the system freezes on larger files
[19:44] <jess12345> fccf: done
[19:44] <fccf> jess12345: did it do anything?
[19:44] <jess12345> 0 upgraded - newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded
[19:44] <jess12345> fccf: im on the windows machine so no cut and paste
[19:45] <fccf> jess12345: what wasn't upgraded?
[19:45] <alemcito> soy gay
[19:45] <DasEi> chuckc: try rsync then, it also allows resuming, maybe a acpi (power down) prob on the remote machine ?
[19:45] <jess12345> fccf: it all went through ok then i rebooted and x has stopped working
[19:45] <Matson> th0r: thanks
[19:45] <fccf> jess12345: what kind of error do you get when you type startx
[19:45] <jess12345> fccf: there was some sector error or something
[19:46] <chuckc> DasEi: well it happens for all 'larger' files.  i am next to the computer, it is not sleeping or powering down
[19:46] <jess12345> fccf: i can get into rooy login but x is not working so i have access to all files and directories
[19:46] <jess12345> fccf: i can navigate round the file system but when I try to reconfigure x it just wont work
[19:46] <DasEi> chuckc: what's the fs  on the receiving pc ?
[19:46] <jess12345> fccf: it was working prior to the upgrade fine
[19:47] <fccf> jess12345: I need to know a few things ... first sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[19:47] <chuckc> DasEi: a mac, so hfs+
[19:47] <jess12345> fccf: blank screen something happens
[19:47] <chuckc> DasEi: but this happens for netatalk too, afp
[19:47] <DasEi> chuckc: so large files should be no problems, and I guess you checked space
[19:47] <wiiguy> is ubuntu good for a pentium 3 that will acts as a server ?
[19:47] <jess12345> fccf: the login has disappeared, its as if it tries to launch x but the maybe the config files are not working properly not sure, now I will reboot again
[19:47] <chuckc> DasEi: yeah space is fine.
[19:48] <fccf> jess12345: do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get back to your terminal
[19:48] <chuckc> DasEi: it is like the network goes down when i transfer larger files
[19:48] <DasEi> wiiguy: yes, more specs ?
[19:48] <wiiguy> eh let me check
[19:48] <fccf> wiiguy: I have several P3 servers running ubuntu
[19:49] <endra> hey
[19:49] <VickiWong> is 45GB too much a partition for / ?
[19:49] <VickiWong> (roo)
[19:49] <sebsebseb> endra: hi
[19:49] <wiiguy> CPU: intel Pentium 3 1GHz
[19:49] <endra> I want to do a virus scan using ubuntu live for windows viruses. Which program do you recommend?
[19:49] <wiiguy> 128MB intern geheugen (pc 133 SDRAM) (max 512MB PC 133 SDRAM)
[19:49] <wiiguy> 20GB Harde schijf
[19:49] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: yes
[19:49] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: do like  12GB or 10GB for  /  and then have a big seperate /home
[19:49] <philluminati> VickiWong: If you're mounting /home elsewhere probably
[19:50] <VickiWong> yeah i have /boot / and //home
[19:50] <philluminati> VickiWong: and if you're setting up a  /swap partition elsewhere.
[19:50] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: why have you got seperate /boot?
[19:50] <VickiWong> ok ill knock it down a few GB thanks :D
[19:50] <th0r> endra: clam
[19:50] <DasEi> wiiguy: I even use celerons for that purpose, as they consume less power, installation done on a big pIII, then changed proc,  ram is important, also for updating (new kernel), or you will have to wait long for it
[19:50] <jess12345> fccf: i cant install pastebinit
[19:50] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: that's not really needed even  the seperate /boot unless your doing for example the XFS file system,  since Grub won't like it if  /boot is in  a XFS  /  in that case
[19:50] <wiiguy> so DasEi how much ram do ya think i need ?
[19:51] <jess12345> fccf: it says e: invalid operation install
[19:51] <endra> th0r: is it included in the ubuntu cd?
[19:51] <szczym> its till not working, where are logs of rc.local ? i cant see it in /var/log/boot or messages ..
[19:51] <DasEi> wiiguy: depends on what you use it for, least 256, typical 512
[19:51] <fccf> jess12345: uh, you copied some thing wrong ... sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[19:51] <wiiguy> im porbally use it for a game server
[19:51] <th0r> endra: not sure, but it is in the repos
[19:51] <philluminati> sebsedseb: benefits of mounting /boot elsewhere is so you can share kernels between distros or if you want to encrypt /
[19:51] <DasEi> wiiguy: minimum is 128
[19:52] <wiiguy> 128mb i have atleast :)
[19:52] <wiiguy> ty :)
[19:52] <somebody> can I ask a question?

[19:53] <szczym> philluminati: its still not working, where are logs of rc.local ? i cant see it in /var/log/boot or messages ..
[19:53] <fccf> jess12345: might be a good idea ... something is locking your system
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> jess12345:  you dident delete the /var/cache/archives directory?  if so you need to remake it.

[19:54] <TheEvilOne> does anyone know how to check the md5 sum of a ubuntu disk you alraedy burned and dont have the iso of
[19:55] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: when you install you should do manual install, to make sure  that your home partition gets mounted as /home
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> TheEvilOne:  md5sum /dev/cdrom
[19:55] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, done :)
[19:55] <fccf> TheEvilOne: Boot with the disk , and test the disk from the menu
[19:55] <jess12345> fccf: rebooted
[19:55] <Sidewinder1> TheEvilOne>Boot to live CD and click check for errors
[19:55] <fccf> jess12345: try installing pastebinit
[19:55] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: and don't do format on the home, or you lose your data
[19:55] <TheEvilOne> that takes forever
[19:56] <Sidewinder1> You gotta be kiddin'
[19:56] <Bache> Hi, every one.
[19:56] <Bache> I have downloaded acrobat reader latest version and have installed it on my Ubuntu 9.04. But the propblem is that I have installed it on the ´/´ path instead of ´/user´ path. And when I go Places>File System the ´Adobe´ folder appears there and no matter how many times I want to delete it, it won´t go away. Can some one help me to uninstall it from the roort directory? Thank you.
[19:56] <jess12345> fccf: it says 0 upgraded, 1 newly isntalled, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> TheEvilOne:  it is checking the whole 700mb of data.. so yes..it will take some time.. do it or not..   its how its done
[19:56] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, yep format is unchecked, now i am on the next step and it is asking me for my user details, can I not just use my user from my existing /home?
[19:56] <TheEvilOne> but aprantly so does this other command you just told me to run
[19:56] <fccf> TheEvilOne: it would take you forever to calculate the sum of 700megs too
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> TheEvilOne:  both are doiung the same command... so id expect them to take about the same time
[19:56] <TheEvilOne> i just ran that command and got input/output error
[19:57] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: maybe some how, or you just make a new user
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> TheEvilOne:  sounds like either a bad disk. or bad/dirty drive
[19:57] <fccf> jess12345: do lspci | pastebinit
[19:57] <mattgyver> I have a web server that is physically rebooting when using ftp or web applications.  I want to monitor the temperature while i reproduce a failure, but what else could i test to determine a HW issue?
[19:57] <TheEvilOne> when i tried to do it with brasero it said I dont have permission
[19:57] <fccf> jess12345: thats the pipe key Shift+key above enter
[19:58] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, and then remove it once in Ubuntu? will my old user be usable on the new installation? or would i have to move my home contents to the new  user
[19:58] <jess12345> fccf: i know that :) pastebinit is not currently installed
[19:58] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, sorry for the nitpicky questions, just want to make surre i do everything right the first time :D

[19:58] <coolcat> hi, anyone here has experience with the fftw package? I need some help
[19:58] <Sidewinder1> Bache>gksudo nautilus will allow you to delete root files, but BE CAREFUL, oyu might want to back up first.
[19:59] <jess12345> fccf: it loos as if /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing
[19:59] <Legendario> does anyone know how to install campcaster??? I am having problems with it
[19:59] <Sidewinder1> Bache>sudo apt-get remove acrobat would probably be better to try first.
[19:59] <jess12345> fccf: shall i just go ahead and create it ?
[20:00] <fccf> jess12345: oh ... cd into /var/cache/apt/archives and see if partial exists

[20:05] <jess12345> ok cant anyone taqke over the good support of fccf ? i have some issues with x after an upgrade - basically does not work
[20:05] <Loafers> Will Karmic Koala support ATI Radeon 9500-9800, X300-X2100?  Because in Juanty it is currently unsupported.
[20:05] <sebsebseb> jess12345: depends repeate your issue
[20:05] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, if i make this  a seperate user, could i then still use my old user with the new system?
[20:05] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  Loafers
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> Loafers:  best way to answer that is try out  an alpha5 cd..
[20:06] <Loafers> Dr_Willis, ok thanks
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> Loafers:  because untill you try.. any answer you get on IRC.. is just a guess.

[20:07] <L3dPlatedLinux> scott_ino2,  no but I will
[20:07] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: What exactly do you mean?
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> jolle:  check output of the 'mount' command - see where everything is mounted.
[20:07] <carolina_> \server dhexa.ath.cx
[20:08] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, in my /home I have UserA from the last install, if I make a UserB now can I still log in to the new install with UserA?
[20:08] <bjqrn0> jolle: paste the output you get from "mount -l" at www.pastebin.org
[20:08] <jess12345> ok dpkg-recongfigre x-org gives the following error "begin -- compilation aborted at /usr/share/per15/debconf/template.om line7" and startx gives a blank screen basically x is dead and I cant reconfigure it using the reconfigure command

[20:09] <beejayh> i am having update-trouble ... while downloading the packages the disk got full .. where does aptitude store those files ? is there any install-temp-dir that i can clean ?
[20:09] <sebsebseb> jess12345: after an upgrade?
[20:09] <sebsebseb> jess12345: Which verson of Ubuntu to which version?
[20:09] <jess12345> sebsebseb: yes
[20:09] <arleslie> how do I uninstall programs using apt
[20:09] <jess12345> sebsebseb: dont know i did apt-get update
[20:10] <sebsebseb> arleslie: sudo apt-get remove  package  or even better since it will remove config files as well  sudo apt-get purge package
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> arleslie: sudo apt-get --purge remove <app>
[20:10] <arleslie> thanks
[20:10] <sebsebseb> jess12345: which version of Ubuntu were you on, and which one did you upgrade to?
[20:10] <sebsebseb> arleslie: no probs
[20:10] <DasEi> arleslie: sudo apt-get remove,,   --purge to erase config, too
[20:10] <arand> VickiWong: You will probably have to add the user to the system, since the list of users and their privileges etc. are not stored in /home
[20:11] <jess12345> sebsebseb: 9.04 no upgrade just a massive update like 6 months worth
[20:11] <jess12345> sebsebseb: jaunty - i forgot to update for ages then did it once, took like over 30 mins
[20:12] <rich_dnb> why is my windows networks share empty?
[20:12] <arand> VickiWong: but hopefully, it will be a simple matter using the "Users and groups" tool in the admin menu.
[20:12] <jolle> when i try "mount - l" it doenst say that my mp3 player is mounted. how do i mount it?
[20:12] <rich_dnb> yet smbclient works and nautilus location smb works
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> !mount | jolle
[20:12] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: just use the same name as before, and you should be ok
[20:12] <varunthacker> i have a laptop running ubuntu.how can i specify at what battery level should it start charging.I dont want to let it start charging when i falls below 95 %.
[20:12] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: and yes you got to add that  user  in the install
[20:12] <sebsebseb> jess12345: have you tried xfix in recovery mode?
[20:13] <Dr_Willis> varunthacker:  im not sure thats even possible in software to controll that.
[20:13] <DasEi> Bache: so you got the name of the *.deb ?
[20:13] <jess12345> sebsebseb: like start x ?
[20:13] <VickiWong> arand, do you know if i use the same user details will any settins be lost/reset/recreated ?
[20:13] <grawity> VickiWong: All your settings are stored inside your homedir.
[20:13] <varunthacker> there is an option in windows sadly
[20:13] <jess12345> sebsebseb: or you mean dpkg-reconfigiure ? start x gives me a blank screen and reconfigure gives me a complication error, cant locate posix.pm
[20:14] <arand> sebsebseb: VickiWong: I'm looking around and there seems to be no info on reclaiming a separate /home, only how to make it, annoying.
[20:14] <Dr_Willis> varunthacker:  sounds  like a good way to end up with a dead battey when you need it. Never seen that feature.. Must be specifi to that specif brand laptop/bios/mb
[20:14] <sebsebseb> jess12345: no I mean in the actsaul recovery mode
[20:14] <mattgyver> Is there a way that I can monitor the CPU temperature via command line live, so that as the temp changes i see it in the terminal?
[20:14] <sebsebseb> jess12345: the one you should be able to get into from the boot loader
[20:14] <jess12345> sebsebseb: i am on command line mode ?
[20:14] <sebsebseb> jess12345: that should put  x  back to default,  also  removing  any graphics card driver you put on
[20:14] <varunthacker> lenovo r61.
[20:14] <VickiWong> grawity, thats right, but as im making a new user with the same name im hoping it wont touch anything in /home
[20:15] <sebsebseb> jess12345: oh  I am not sure about xorg commands, but  that xfix I am talking about,   can fix a lot of problems
[20:15] <grawity> VickiWong: It shouldn't.
[20:15] <masovic> irc duga net
[20:15] <jess12345> sebsebseb: i have tried prior versions, but does not work either
[20:15] <Dr_Willis> varunthacker: id hit google for the specific laptop and its linux support. perhaps some special tools for that feature exist.
[20:15] <sebsebseb> jess12345: Which graphics card?
[20:15] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, ok thanks for the help ill use the same user :)
[20:15] <Marshall> hey - does anyone know how to manually add the "show desktop" panel applet to say, a file menu or the desktop?
[20:15] <varunthacker> fine.thanks a lot anyways.
[20:15] <jess12345> sebsebseb: it was working prior to the upgrade but not now, the graphics card should not impact this surely ?
[20:15] <AFLunatic> Anyone know a fix for the DRDY ERR?
[20:15] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> yey I got autoidentify in Konversation :D
[20:15] <jess12345> sebsebseb: its an inteal
[20:16] <hacker> helo all
[20:16] <jess12345> AFLunatic: ive got one of those recently as well
[20:16] <AFLunatic> How'd you get around it?
[20:16] <hacker> which is the best yahoo mesenger in ubuntu
[20:16] <Dr_Willis> AFLunatic:  last i saw errors like that....  I think you may be wanting to do some backups real real fast...
[20:16] <AFLunatic> I've been at it for 13 hours
[20:16] <jess12345> AFLunatic: ubuntu - better not to update or upgrade anything as everything else busts
[20:16] <Dr_Willis> AFLunatic:  the drive died on me totally a day or so later.
[20:16] <icarus> AFLunatic, sleep
[20:17] <sebsebseb> jess12345: inteal you mean Intel?
[20:17] <scott_ino2> mattgyver have you tried lm-sensors?
[20:17] <AFLunatic> I've tried on 3 different hard drives
[20:17] <jess12345> sebsebseb: yes intel
[20:17] <AFLunatic> Installing ubuntu that is
[20:17] <AFLunatic> There's no way it's the drive
[20:17] <sebsebseb> jess12345: ah ha I think that explains something
[20:17] <sebsebseb> jess12345: yes Intel and 9.04  can be pretty bad
[20:17] <sebsebseb> !intel |  jess12345
[20:17] <DasEi> Bache: so you got the name of the *.deb ?
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> AFLunatic:  i would check the cable/controller/connectors closely then.. it could be some quirky bug in the mb/bios/controller and ubuntu. perhaps try some other disrto live cd's to double check
[20:18] <AFLunatic> I REALLY like ubuntu
[20:18] <mattgyver> scott_ino2, no i have not, i will look into it thanks
[20:18] <AFLunatic> But Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu all do the same thing
[20:18] <AFLunatic> I can't get it installed
[20:18] <DasEi> !pm | Bache, and no dcc please
[20:18] <d_b> I just plugged in a headset to use Skype but it's very quiet. The person can hear me whistling but not talking. I enabled the following: front mic, front mic boost, line-in, microphone, microphone boost.   and all are on full. Any idea? I have an internal Intel sound card.
[20:18] <jess12345> sebsebseb: ok recover mode - resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, grub netroot, or xfix ?
[20:18] <AFLunatic> Is there any other distro that is really similar to Kubuntu?
[20:18] <As_> cześć
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> AFLunatic:  they all use the same core.. so id expect them to do the same thing.   Could be a bug in somthing deeper then kubuntu/ubuntu
[20:19] <scott_ino2> mattgyver you'll need to set it up via the terminal but it's pretty easy just answer the questions it asks you
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> AFLunatic:  check disrtowatch.com
[20:19]  * shamm is trying to remember the stereo part that controls the frequency of a sound
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> AFLunatic:  theres many Kde focused disrtos comming out all the timne
[20:19] <icarus> how do i convert .avi files to a ac3 format
[20:19] <shamm> if I want to increase bass or treble of a song
[20:19] <sebsebseb> jess12345: xfix
[20:19] <sebsebseb> jess12345: altough since you got Intel
[20:19] <scott_ino2> mattgyver, not sure if it keeps temps up to date but im sure there's a way you can have it update either via an option/script
[20:19] <jess12345> sebsebseb: same problem
[20:19] <FunkyFrank> Could some one help with locales in terminal?
[20:19] <sebsebseb> jess12345: well it might not solve the problem, we'll see
[20:19] <jess12345> sebsebseb: compliation error
[20:20] <Dr_Willis> icarus:  ffmpeg/mencoder or one  of the many front ends to those tools - sich as winff, or avidemux
[20:20] <Loafers> Is there a netinst or base install for ubuntu similar to debian?
[20:20] <sebsebseb> jess12345: quite a few people  put on 8.10, because of the Intel graphic card issues
[20:20] <AFLunatic> Is Fedora a lot like Ubuntu?
[20:20] <vsMS> someone running bleeding edge intel on his jaunty?
[20:20] <mattgyver> scott_ino2, basically im gonna produce an error on my server and need to monitor the temp, to see if its getting hotter
[20:20] <Dr_Willis> !install | Loafers
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Loafers: you can use the minimal cd

[20:20] <blackxored> anyone else has experienced pidgin problems when accessing gmail, or it's just me?
[20:20] <_Maximus> hi, is there any way of fixing an ext4 partition on which the free space is wrongly reported?
[20:20] <mattgyver> scott_ino2, so i need live output to terminal if you will
[20:20] <Loafers> ActionParsnip, ok thanks
[20:20] <Turkish-Coder> hi
[20:20] <icarus> Dr_Willis, which would you recomend?
[20:20] <erUSUL> _Maximus: pass fsck ?
[20:20] <As_> czesc
[20:20] <orificium_> AFLunatic: Chakra - KDEMod + Arch
[20:20] <AFLunatic> Anyone know how similar Fedora and Ubuntu are?
[20:21] <_Maximus> erUSUL: yes, it passed fsck
[20:21] <pw-toxic> can someone tell me how i can debug my samba configuration? i can use my samba share drives with username and password, but not with public users.. i have no clue why it doesnt work and where i could look for the problem
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> icarus:  whatever you want. winfilry easy to figure out. but it may do what you want.. try them and see
[20:21] <blackxored> I had to use gtalk prism app, dunno what's happening with pidgin
[20:21] <scott_ino2> mattgyver
[20:21] <sebsebseb> AFLunatic: Fedora is more cutting edge  #ubuntu-offtopic by the way
[20:21] <As_> czy tu mowi ktos po polsku
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> icarus:  i use winff mainly these days
[20:21] <erUSUL> _Maximus: how big is the error on space left reported ?
[20:21] <orificium_> AFLunatic: Fedora is based on Redhat whereas Ubuntu is based on debian.
[20:21] <erUSUL> !pl
[20:21] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, can you pastebin your smb.conf, i might be able to take a look
[20:22] <_Maximus> erUSUL: could you guess? :) 56GB

[20:23] <Loafers> khafra, Try unetbooin
[20:23] <erUSUL> _Maximus: 56 GB of 10Terabyte raid volume? or 56 GB in 160 GB ? is not the same XD. but i assume is more  like the later... what parameters you used with the fsck ?
[20:23] <AFLunatic> Not everyone can just go buy a system anytime they want
[20:23] <sebsebseb> AFLunatic: How much RAM?
[20:24] <khafra> Loafers: Tried it, but it won't boot--says there's some problem with ACPI in my bios and drops to a busybox shell
[20:24] <AFLunatic> 2 gigs
[20:24] <orificium_> AFLunatic: What is your specific issue?
[20:24] <AFLunatic> DRDY ERR
[20:24] <icarus> AFLunatic, ububtu has the best suport communty that i have ever seen while fedora releases updates onece per bussness quarter
[20:24] <AFLunatic> Whenever I boot from LiveCD
[20:24] <dsuch> erUSUL: can you change the '|pl' hint? Half of the diacritics are missing.
[20:24] <_Maximus> erUSUL: 56GB out of a 80GB partition
[20:24] <AFLunatic> Or install inside of Windows
[20:24] <sebsebseb> !enter |  AFLunatic
[20:24] <dragon> How can I determine whether I have 32-bit or 64-bit JVM on my 64-bit Jaunty?
[20:24] <Guest2717> I've just installed ubuntu in windows, inside my laptop. Do i need to install additional stuff to make wireless working???
[20:24] <_Maximus> erUSUL: I simply used fsck with no parameters
[20:24] <sebsebseb> Guest2717: inside Windows hmm?
[20:24] <dsuch> erUSUL: not that it's such a big deal, it's just that some are present and some are missing.
[20:24] <buttons840> does anyone have a suggestion for improving my login time, it used to be very quick, but lately it seems to take 20 second or more from the time i press enter on my username and password to the time the login is completed?
[20:25] <Loafers> khafra, Are you using jaunty right now?  Go to System > Admin > USB startup
[20:25] <sebsebseb> Guest2717: You mean Wubi?
[20:25] <AFLunatic> I guess the DRDY ERR just doesn't have a fix
[20:25] <Guest2717> sebsebseb: yea is that a good idea?
[20:25] <sebsebseb> Guest2717: no it isn't a good idea
[20:25] <dragon> !wubi
[20:25] <blackxored> khafra, +1 for unetbootin, but the one you're looking for is in usb-creator pkg
[20:25] <erUSUL> dsuch: i'm not polish. but you can propose a better wording just do « /msg ubottu pl is <reply> whatever you like »
[20:25] <orificium_> AFLunatic: Have you tried googling it?
[20:25] <AFLunatic> lol
[20:25] <AFLunatic> Yes
[20:25] <dsuch> erUSUL: ok, thanks
[20:25] <sebsebseb> Guest2717:   People can get weird issues with Wubi, also since it's running inside Windows, it won't run as well as a proper Ubuntu install etc
[20:25] <Guest2717> sebsebseb: how come?
[20:25] <AFLunatic> I've been trying to install it for 13 and a half hours now
[20:26] <Loafers> khafra, Also it's called usb-creator iirc
[20:26] <erUSUL> dsuch: your edit will be passed to the ops of the channel... ( join #ubuntu-ops too to see if someones takes care of the request)
[20:26] <jess12345>  ok dpkg-recongfigre x-org gives the following error "begin -- compilation aborted at /usr/share/per15/debconf/template.om line7" and startx gives a blank screen basically x is dead and I cant reconfigure it using the reconfigure command
[20:26] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, did you create samba users for these 'public' users.  I note that only pw-toxic has access to any of these shares.
[20:26] <dragon> Guest2717, sebsebseb: I disagree that wubi isn't a good idea. I think it is a good start.
[20:26] <khafra> Loafers: Yeah, that's what I was asctually trying to install, sorry
[20:26] <khafra> Still Couldn't find package usb-creator
[20:26] <Guest2717> sebsebseb: then i should go back to xp and uninstall wubi
[20:26] <Loafers> khafra, you using jaunty?
[20:26] <sebsebseb> Guest2717: better to do real partitions,   but if Wubi is working for you,  maybe keep it for now to try Ubuntu,  and then put  9.10  on when it's released, with nice default rather fast to bootup  Ext4 file system by default :)
[20:26] <pw-toxic> mattgyver, i dont want a user.. i want that you can use the share drive "music" without any user
[20:27] <orificium_> AFLunatic: Have you tried using a different hard drive?
[20:27] <buttons840> is there any way to monitor the progress of a logic, that is, what happens between entering the username and password and gaining access to the desktop?\
[20:27] <AFLunatic> Yes, 2 others
[20:27] <halfpastzero> Guest2717: if it's any indication i couldn't even get wubi to run on my xp or win 7 installs.
[20:27] <khafra> Loafers: Hardy
[20:27] <orificium_> AFLunatic: What kind of mobo are you using?
[20:27] <Loafers> khafra, it comes along with it
[20:27] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic> How did you make out?
[20:27] <AFLunatic> AMD 2800+
[20:27] <AFLunatic> Sidewinder1, no go
[20:28] <khafra> Loafers: usb-creator comes with 8.04?
[20:28] <orificium_> AFLunatic: Do you know what the motherboard model is?
[20:28] <Guest2717> sebsebseb: does wubi clean out 100% itself when i uninstall?
[20:28] <Sidewinder1> Geschiest!
[20:28] <pw-toxic> mattgyver, or did i misunderstand something?
[20:28] <dragon> Guest2717: let's troubleshoot your wireless issue instead. If it doesn't work on wubi, it probably wouldn't work on an actual install. Running live from a CD would be the best way to determine that.
[20:28] <Loafers> khafra, Sry I'm wrong, it is only included in the LiveCD
[20:28] <orificium_> Sounds like a controller issue.
[20:28] <wizzo50> \join #unity-coders
[20:28] <Loafers> khafra, sudo apt-get install usb-creator
[20:28] <Bache> Have a great day to all you guys. Bye.
[20:28] <AFLunatic> I can find out, one second, orificium_
[20:28] <Loafers> khafra, Make sure the software-sources are activated if you are on a live cd (software sources or sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list). You may need to install the python-gnome2 package as well.
[20:28] <Guest2717> dragon rite now i'm updating ubuntu so i have to wait
[20:29] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> back
[20:29] <Lukasz_Tarkowski> hmm
[20:29] <orificium_> AFLunatic: I've had to use pci=nomsi in my boot loader for my SATA controller.
[20:29] <Guest2717> Does ext4 works for old hd for laptop
[20:29] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, very good possibility that im wrong cuz im no samba guru, however, I think if its set to public they can see it, but still need some sort of login to get into the share.
[20:29] <dragon> How can I determine whether I have 32-bit or 64-bit Java?
[20:29] <Guest2717> For example Dell inspiron 1501
[20:29] <AFLunatic> I don't know what that is..
[20:29] <khafra> Loafers: I can install any other package, including packages from universe and multiverse.  I've already got python-gnome2.  Just can't even find usb-creator.  Wow, That's Funny.
[20:29] <dragon> !ext4 | Guest2717
[20:30] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, i always create users and samba users depending on the access and share, but i might be going out of my way.  It looks okay but thats a question to ask in #samba
[20:30] <pw-toxic> mattgyver, yes i can see all those share drives from a windows 7 machine but if i try to double click on them, windows tells me that the path doesnt exist
[20:30] <AK|laptop> Is it possible to install Ubuntu's default monospace font on Debian? It isn't included by default and I want it.
[20:30] <Mason> Hey chaps, quick question, why is the 64 bit download named desktop-amd64 when as far as I can tell it is a generic 64bit version? Have I missed something obvious?
[20:30] <orificium_> AFLunatic: On the Live CD, you can modify the boot command and add "pci=nomsi" .  But I believe it only applies to certain SATA controllers
[20:30] <erUSUL> _Maximus: sorry got distracted... try with -py (to repair the filesystem)
[20:30] <Sidewinder1> 1who | AFLunatic>
[20:30] <AFLunatic> Motherboard is AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+
[20:31] <Loafers> khafra, Here:  http://tr.im/y6FP
[20:31] <Sidewinder1> especially with the board this busy
[20:31] <Mason> Probably more to the point, is there a reason that it wouldn't install on an intell processor?
[20:31] <ubuntu> ind
[20:31] <_Maximus> erUSUL: but it's mounted under the /home, is that ok?
[20:31] <Guest2717> once ubuntu 9.10 verison comes out do we have to format hard drive again? example if i have ext3 would i need to format it to ext4???
[20:31] <blackxored> kind of lame question, but there is hack that will let me upgrade a system to 64 bits from 32 bits without reinstall????/
[20:31] <orificium_> AFLunatic: that's not your motherboard.  Do you know if its a SATA drive or IDE?  wide flat cable, or small thin cable?
[20:31] <AFLunatic> IDE
[20:31] <erUSUL> _Maximus: from a livecd ? or from recovery mode (in grub)
[20:32] <_Maximus> erUSUL: also, if only run without any parameters, shouldn't it say if it has any errors? at least?
[20:32] <Guest2717> I assume yes.
[20:32] <khafra> Loafers: Thanks! unfortunately "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-central" even though "python-central is already the newest version"
[20:32] <khafra> I think it's safe to say at this point that the universe hates me.
[20:32] <pw-toxic> mattgyver, they seem to be afk there ;) did you suggest to create a user named nobody?
[20:32] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, is the /share directory within the root of your filesystem?
[20:32] <Loafers> khafra, Time to upgrade to Jaunty :D
[20:32] <actualmind> Hi , After reinstalling setting a software Raid in my system The mouse and Keyboard are not responding in the X only in text-mode , I had created a new initrd.gz during installation , does any one know why is it happening?
[20:33] <khafra> Loafers: Exactly what I'm trying to do! Gaaaaah!
[20:33] <erUSUL> _Maximus: well maybe there is no error per se but just "lost inodes" ... seen this before it may help or may not but it is the only thing i can think it would help
[20:33] <ubuntu> om
[20:33] <captine> Hi all.  Just finished installing LTS8.04 based on some howto.  Now wanting to know what the best PABX system is for Ubuntu.  Want to register with multiple voip providers?  any suggestions?
[20:33] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, yeah you could do that, but if you can see the share, but are told the path is wrong then you may have public set correct
[20:33] <captine> Per google, trixbox doesnt install easily
[20:33] <orificium_> AFLunatic: You get DRDY error with all (3) drives?
[20:33] <Loafers> khafra, Install windows then :D
[20:33] <AFLunatic> orificium_, yes all 3
[20:33] <blackxored> can I upgrade a 32 bits system to 64 bits ubuntu without reinstall? is it possible???
[20:33] <AFLunatic> and with the Live CD not even loading on the HDD
[20:33] <_Maximus> erUSUL: I'll try it...
[20:33] <pw-toxic> mattgyver, i can also see the non public drives and if i double click on those folders on windows7 he ask for username + password
[20:34] <khafra> Loafers: Actually, that's not a bad idea.  I have XP running on an old laptop; I could try the Windows LiveUSB installer on that.
[20:34] <letben> join #glebelgirc
[20:34] <orificium_> AFLunatic: LiveCD doesn't load onto HDD, it'll load into memory.  Does the liveCD start?
[20:34] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, yes if you get that create a false user
[20:34] <AFLunatic> I know
[20:34] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic> This board's so busy; should I try to help you in private?
[20:34] <AFLunatic> No it doesn't start
[20:34] <Guest2717> Does anyone know how to setup the new partation for 9.04 is ext4 (4gb?) /home (4gb?) and /swap (2gb?)
[20:34] <AFLunatic> If you'd like, I don't know what else to do to get Ubuntu :/
[20:34] <arand> dragon: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
[20:34] <pw-toxic> mattgyver, what is a false user?
[20:35] <actualmind> no one know if there's any relation between initrd.gz and X?
[20:35] <Guest2717> dragon to setup the new partation for 9.04 is ext4 (4gb?) /home (4gb?) and /swap (2gb?)
[20:35] <Guest2717> sebsebseb:
[20:35] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, sudo useradd -d /dev/null -s /sbin/nologin -g (Group) username  (this will create a user w/o a home directory and other access)
[20:35] <sebsebseb> Guest2717: uhmm
[20:35] <orificium_> AFLunatic: Try pulling out all hard drives, and starting up LiveCD.
[20:35] <AFLunatic> It has to be my processor or something, I can't even get it to load the Demo
[20:35] <dragon> !partitioning | Guest2717
[20:35] <sebsebseb> Guest2717: Ext4  can still be a little dodgy in  Ubuntu 9.04, because they do not have a proper kernel for it
[20:36] <arand> actualmind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initrd
[20:36] <sebsebseb> Guest2717: 9.10 will have though
[20:36] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, then do a sudo passwd (username) and set a pw for the user.  AFter that run a sudo smbpasswd -a (username) and enter a password.
[20:36] <DFarmer> Hi
[20:36] <orificium_> AFLunatic: Did you try running memtest from liveCD?
[20:36] <AFLunatic> orificium_, I also tried that. I disconnected every hard drive, I only had my DVD+RW still connected and booting the LiveCD
[20:36] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, then in your smb.conf add that user to the 'Valid-Users' line in the config, and you should be able to access the shares.
[20:36] <AFLunatic> It won't let me load the memtest
[20:36] <aliendev211>  anyone very familure with vi?
[20:37] <orificium_> AFLunatic: Did you try burning another copy of Ubuntu?
[20:37] <blackxored> aliendev211, we all should be ;)
[20:37] <orificium_> aliendev211: Yeah, stop using it, and use Nano :)
[20:37] <grawity> aliendev211: What is your real question?
[20:37] <AFLunatic> Yes, and USB loaded it
[20:37] <Aivaras> can't play .mp4 files, installed ffmpeg,bad,ugly,gstream. Help?
[20:37] <halfpastzero> Aivaras: try VLC?
[20:37] <actualmind> arand, I want to know if ubuntu loads something X related in the initrd , wikipedia won't tell me that =)))
[20:37] <AFLunatic> No go on USB, HDD install, or LiveCD
[20:37] <grawity> Aivaras: Try VLC. If it can't play the file, nothing can.
[20:37] <Aivaras> halfpastzero, not working
[20:37] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, if you ever try to login to x with that user, its gonna just hang with a black screen, it also does not have ssh access, just so you know.
[20:37] <JmpR> i open an app through wine and all letters are missing
[20:37] <icarus> Dr_Willis, so i did what you said concuring the ffmpeg and in shorit it did not work
[20:38] <JmpR> wtf?
[20:38] <Aivaras> grawity, it plays but in fast forward and no video :(
[20:38] <actualmind> arand, do you have the default initrd.gz of the alternate installation?
[20:38] <Guest2717> sebsebseb: if i'm on laptop and on a slow one what cmds or settings i need to set  too?
[20:38] <sebastian_> hey guys i currently dont have a internet connection and i need to install gnome network manager and all i have is the ubuntu cd any ideas on how i can do that?
[20:38] <halfpastzero> Aivaras: sounds like a bad file. does it do this to all mp4 files?
[20:38] <jetienne> q. what is the easiest/default server for ubuntu ?
[20:38] <jetienne> server= ftp server :)
[20:39] <Aivaras> halfpastzero, yep all files like this
[20:39] <captine> anyone used trixbox/asterisk on ubuntu server?
[20:39] <blackxored> jetienne, vftpd could be a nice try
[20:39] <smogattack> W: GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F9A2F76A9D1A0061

[20:39] <G_A_C> probably vsftpd? secure configuration out of the box
[20:39] <blackxored> jetienne, I like proftpd
[20:39] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, the only other thing that you will have to play around with eventually is the permissions for that user and directorys they access, but that can be changed as necessary
[20:39] <smogattack> how can I remove that?
[20:39] <Matson> leave

[20:41] <dumont> i have a dedicated server, which after restart stopped allowing me to connect via ssh, can anyone suggest a course of action? i'm about to go into rescue mode console, btw the only entry i added and the only entry that existed prior to the reboot when this all started was iptables -A INPUT -s 91.199.22.61 -j DROP
[20:41] <smogattack> grawity, even though I removed it already?
[20:41] <sebastian_> orificium i dont have the network manager on the other computer
[20:41] <grawity> smogattack: The message is not about Opera itself, it's just about the Opera software repositories.
[20:42] <smogattack> ohh I see. thank you grawity
[20:42] <arand> actualmind: I think the one in the alternate install should be exactly the same, afaik. But which kernel? and it is -generic, right?
[20:42] <dumont> that ip was hammering my root login, so i blocked all traffic from it, that is not my ip

[20:42] <grawity> dumont: Just make sure you have a good password. (Disabling root logins is a good idea too.)
[20:42] <orificium_> sebastian_: What does ifconfig in the console do for you?
[20:42] <dumont> grawity that's not what i asked, i said SSH IS TIMING OUT
[20:43] <pw-toxic> mattgyver, im kinda confused.. i did the same settings for my music folder as with another folder that works with asking for username and password.. .. i think i have to try out a lot until i get it working ;)
[20:43] <orificium_> Isn't gnome network manager justa  GUI frotend?
[20:43] <rich_dnb> grawity, i cannot see samba shares under network, yet i can manually map to them?

[20:44] <Flannel> ulaas: bitchX was removed form the repos because it was unsupported and has some large dangerous security holes
[20:44] <grawity> rich_dnb: Browsing uses some NetBIOS thing, while mapping is just a plain old connection.
[20:44] <actualmind> arand, seems like I'm going to have to download the iso =(

[20:45] <rich_dnb> grawity, the local master server can see both computers, but the other machine that isnt cant see the other one
[20:45] <JadenKornLinux> I have a problem with a quake3 standalone game
[20:45] <wizzo50> Hi, How comes there is no Equalizers for your audio playback in Ubuntu?
[20:45] <grawity> rich_dnb: Hmmmm
[20:45] <dumont> i have a dedicated server, which after restart stopped allowing me to connect via ssh, can anyone suggest a course of action? i'm about to go into rescue mode console, btw the only entry i added and the only entry that existed prior to the reboot when this all started was iptables -A INPUT -s 91.199.22.61 -j DROP
[20:46] <orificium_> MrPiracy: I'm pretty sure thats not possible.  Why would you want to dot aht?
[20:46] <JadenKornLinux> Tried to compile with USE_CODEC_VORBIS = 1, but still it wants to use wavs instead
[20:46] <dumont> shh is timing out
[20:46] <grawity> MrPiracy: You'll have a permission headache (NTFS doesn't support Unix modes). Other than that, it can work fine.
[20:46] <Myrtti> dumont: there's a good reason to advice against root password.
[20:46] <rich_dnb> samba and sambafs, i can connect using samba, just the bloody browsing doesnt work
[20:46] <wizzo50> How comes there is no Equalizers for your audio playback in Ubuntu or is there one I don't know about?
[20:47] <hellhound> i am not able to get my logitech quickcam stx to work in kopete, however it does work in cheese.  when I run kopete through the terminal I get the errors: http://pastebin.com/m3f7a9467
[20:47] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, im wondering if perhaps your login info was saved temporarily on that share and that was why it wasnt
[20:47] <ulaas> Flannel, thanx. will check
[20:47] <MrPiracy> orificium_: cos i want these files separated from the main linux partition (backup purposes) and also i wanted to access these files from windows and there's no actual windows-like program to read ext4 partitions
[20:47] <orificium_> sebastian_: if you plug up your network connection to that box, and type ifconfig, do you get an ip address?  running dhcp on a local router or anything?
[20:47] <jess12345> ok gentlmen it seems this could be a long solution to my problems so i am going to do a reintall is there a way to do this without killing off all my documents ?
[20:47] <Myrtti> wizzo50: exaile has, audacious has, I suppose vlc has...
[20:47] <lindzeyn> where does java 1.6 sit in the filesystem
[20:47] <erUSUL> wizzo50: individual apps has eq (banshhe has)
[20:47] <mattgyver> So, does your new nobody account work?
[20:47] <sebsebseb> Myrtti:  Which is?
[20:48] <sebsebseb> jess12345: since you got Intel...
[20:48] <Rezagrats> Hey guys, i was just wondering.... why can't my mom(using Guest login) see flash things on MSN and target.com and such ?
[20:48] <Myrtti> sebsebseb: you've been around long enough to know it
[20:48] <pw-toxic> mattgyver, as soon as i set public = yes, he never ask me for username and password and just says that he cant find the drive...
[20:48] <stealth-> what would be the equivalent to gentoo's rc-update?
[20:48] <Flannel> dumont: Can you verify that the box is up in any other way?
[20:48] <Flannel> stealth-: What does rc-update do?
[20:48] <sebsebseb> jess12345: maybe you should do 8.10, and then do another clean install when 9.10 comes out
[20:48] <wizzo50> Ok, I'll check them out. I was just reading someone else question on this that stated Audacious. Thanks
[20:48] <orificium_> MrPiracy: I believe there are programs to do READ-ONLY access of ext2/ext3
[20:48] <sidney> can Ubuntu have a different background on each desktop?
[20:49] <dumont> you guys are just silly stupid when it comes giving help if the question mentions the word "root"
[20:49] <mattgyver> pw-toxic, im not too sure why its doing that.
[20:49] <Hilariousity> hay guize, I disabled my network manager using the command "sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove" How would I re-enable my network manager
[20:49] <dumont> Flannel: yes, it pings, and i just got into rescue mod
[20:49] <dumont> mode*
[20:49] <stealth-> sidney: kde can, im not sure about gnome.
[20:49] <Flannel> dumont: Please don't be rude.
[20:50] <erUSUL> Hilariousity: "sudo update-rc.d NetworkManager defaults"
[20:50] <dumont> YES and PLEASE don't be condescending by telling me to have a good password and to disable root when I'm having trouble with ssh not connection at all
[20:50] <dumont> what do the two have in common, nothing as far as my current problem is concerned
[20:50] <sidney> steath KDE would be Kubuntu right
[20:51] <Flannel> dumont: The people in question obviously didn't see your first question, just your second.  Again, people missing a statement of yours isn't a good reason to be rude.
[20:51] <stealth-> Flannel: allows me to add scripts to run at boot
[20:51] <Flannel> !bum | stealth-
[20:51] <erUSUL> dumont: so have you mentioned what error you get from ssh when you attemp to connect? or it just times out ?
[20:52] <stealth-> sidney: yes, but you can kde on ubuntu aswell. A google search should give you instructions on how to do it in gnome, though.
[20:52] <ScottO> please help if you can http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1260429
[20:52] <sidney> did i do that
[20:52] <grawity> sidney: Do what?
[20:53] <Flannel> This is a netsplit, just sit tight, enjoy the ride, it will hopefully be over momentarily.
[20:53] <sidney> get a different background on each desktop
[20:53] <stealth-> sidney: you can only get that effect in gnome through applications, I believe.
[20:53] <stealth-> http://wallpapoz.sourceforge.net/
[20:53] <dumont> Flannel, it just times out, that happened after restart, and happened again after a hard reboot, now i'm in rescue mode, but i don't know what to do there, never been in rescue mode
[20:53] <NeX> sidney: i see that you are asking for a help on how to install KDE on Ubutu.. right?

[21:01] <PlasmaSheep> sidney: sudo apt-get install kde4-core
[21:01] <erUSUL> dumont: check iptables rules sudo iptables -L || restart sshd ( /etc/init.d/sshd restart ) see if some error appears on terminal.

[21:02] <wizzo50>  !software

[21:02] <Farmer> I've just installed Kubuntu on a laptop with a 1280x800 screen. However, I cannto set it to that in the system settings, as the only options are for non-widescreen aspect ratio. How can I fix this? dpkg-reconfigure does nothing and I need someone to help me step by step
[21:02] <dumont> how do I access /etc, since i do not know how to mount it in rescue mode
[21:02] <Richard_Martin> does anyone know of any good music converters?
[21:03] <Farmer> Anybody? This is a rather urgent issue and I need a response quickly, please.
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> Farmer: if you edit xorg.conf you can add the resolution manually
[21:03] <sebastian_> ActionParsnip thats what ive been trying to do, can u explain how please?
[21:03] <PlasmaSheep> Farmer: ubuntu support takes a while
[21:03] <Farmer> Please!
[21:03] <Flannel> dumont: In the recovery console (if that's what you mean by rescue mode) I believe all of your disks should be mounted normally
[21:03] <Guest40534> imbeciles
[21:03] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian_: insert cd into drive
[21:03] <Sidewinder1> Richard_Martin>How 'bout Sound Converter?
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> sebastian_: run synaptic and click on the sources tab, you can add the cd there
[21:03] <kiaas__> Farmer, quick response support is, I think, ~900USD
[21:04] <kiaas__> Farmer, and it isn't found on IRC.
[21:04] <Flannel> !fixres | Farmer
[21:04] <Flannel> kiaas__: Please be helpful
[21:04] <PlasmaSheep> kiaas__: yeah, or you can wait like ten minutes and get an answer :P
[21:04] <markand> hello
[21:04] <PlasmaSheep> Anybody know a good high dynamic range image creation program that can handle RAW files (if not, then tiff)?
[21:05] <sidney> plasmasheep dosent kde4 have problems?
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> Farmer:  depending on your video card. In the past - ive had to install my nvidia or ati drivers  THEN the X system used the proper wide screen res's
[21:05] <kiaas__> Flannel, reminding him this is free. So don't expect rapid response, and saying "this is urgent!" being very likely for it to speed things up.
[21:05] <dumont> how do I access the ssh logs from rescue mode?
[21:05] <PlasmaSheep> sidney: I dunno, I use gnome.
[21:05] <actualmind> Can someone send me the default alternate initrd.gz?
[21:05] <actualmind> anyone know how stable is karmic by now?
[21:05] <actualmind> I'm downloading alpha-5 now
[21:05] <kiaas__> not being very likely*
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> dumont:  they should be in /var/logs somewhere
[21:05] <stealth-> dumont: I believe they are in /var/log/auth.log
[21:05] <PlasmaSheep> sidney: It's a lot more complex and involved to install an older version, I believe
[21:05] <kiaas__> yay netsplits
[21:05] <PlasmaSheep> omg netsplit
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> actualmind:  it works.. has quirks..
[21:05] <erUSUL> dumont: as Flannel said in recovery mode all your partitions should be aviable and the logs are in /var/log/
[21:05] <hellhound> i am not able to get my logitech quickcam stx to work in kopete, however it does work in cheese.  when I run kopete through the terminal I get the errors: http://pastebin.com/m3f7a9467
[21:06] <dumont> ./var/log/ do not appear to have the logs I need, its rather empty actually, a dozen files or so, as opposed to a few dozen

[21:06] <wildc4rd_> evening all
[21:06] <Ty> it magnifies the screen but i want to see the entire screen not a small part of it
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> Ty:  try windows key, m  or windows key and the mouse wheel
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> Farmer: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:06] <actualmind> anyone know how stable is karmic by now?
[21:06] <actualmind> I'm downloading alpha-5 now

[21:08] <NxTitle> ah, so that's what's happening with freenode
[21:08] <sidney> how do i prefix a name
[21:08] <PlasmaSheep> ActionParsnip: won't kde-core do?
[21:08] <PlasmaSheep> sidney: that's like asking "how do I press enter to send a message?"
[21:09] <Dr_Willis> dumont:  try the exit command perhaps?
[21:09] <RichiV> when i come back from standby the screen doesnt show up... how do i fix that?

[21:23] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: you open synaptic, right?
[21:23] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: can you see packages in it?
[21:23] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep yes
[21:23] <adam> hi
[21:23] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: okay

[21:24] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=937872
[21:24] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: so since you don't have a web connection, that is the cd
[21:24] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: now find the packages you need and install them
[21:24] <AFLunatic> I've tried that
[21:25] <AFLunatic> I guess I gotta try a different distro :(
[21:25] <dekushrub> anyone able to help me with twinview in nvidia-settings?

[21:26] <AFLunatic> It won't let me get to that site, Sidewinder1
The site is just a scroogle search for your error message.
[21:27] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: if it is, does the software sources window look like this: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/7235/screenshot001vy.png
[21:27] <jrlaughlin> nebody know why man would not be available?  "ls: cannot access /usr/bin/man: No such file or directory

[21:28] <PlasmaSheep> jrlaughlin: apt-get install man?
[21:28] <jrlaughlin> PlasmaSheep: tried that.
[21:28] <PlasmaSheep> jrlaughlin: and?
[21:29] <jrlaughlin> oop...no...i installed manpages
[21:29] <Sidewinder1> AFLunatic>You're right, I got the same BS message
[21:29] <PlasmaSheep> jrlaughlin: :P

[21:29] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep it does now, but now i get another error about the sources.list or that its to old
[21:29] <jrlaughlin> PlasmaSheep...shouldn't that be installed by default?
[21:30] <Newbie_> what are the benefits of Network Tools in jaunty?
[21:30] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: in that case, applications-accessories-terminal
[21:30] <PlasmaSheep> jrlaughlin: Ideally, yes
[21:30] <tythontemple> http://www.tythontemple.com Check out the newest mmo Star War The Old Republic!
[21:30] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: now type sudo apt-get update
[21:30] <Zachk18> Newbie_: the benefits are quite good
[21:31] <Sidewinder1> !good | Newbie_>
[21:31] <Zachk18> Newbie_: what are you trying to do though that would require Network tools
[21:31] <das7002> Is there any reason why apt-get would go insane and try to remove everything?
[21:31] <Newb123> Im trying to install Miro but a error comes up saying "Dependency of: python (<2.6) but 2.6.2-0ubuntu1 will be installed". I have checked synaptic and installed all Python packages I can find but it still comes up... how do I fix this? :s
[21:31] <Zachk18> das7002: not really....
[21:32] <dumont> how do I run fsck in rescue mode? when i type "fsck" i just get the fsck version number
[21:32] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep i still get the same error
[21:32] <Newbie_> i'm trying to see if i can prevent certain computers on my wireless network from visiting certain sites
[21:32] <das7002> Zachk18: well it decided it wanted to
[21:32] <Zachk18> hmmmmm
[21:32] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: did you type in the command and press enter in the terminal?
[21:33] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep yes i did
[21:33] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: close synaptic and software sources
[21:33] <ziomal> hi
[21:33] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: now open synaptic again
[21:33] <Pabix> Hello, do you know of any LiveCD system that acts as a FTP+SSH server, in order to recover files from a computer, the graphics card of which just died?
[21:33] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: now install what you need
[21:33] <dumont> how do I run fsck in rescue mode? when i type "fsck" i just get the fsck version number
[21:34] <PlasmaSheep> Pabix: laptop/desktop?
[21:34] <arand> dumont: fsck --help
[21:34] <Pabix> PlasmaSheep, laptop
[21:34] <Zachk18> das7002: what command exactly did you run?
[21:34] <PlasmaSheep> Pabix: too bad, I dunno
[21:34] <Pabix> On a desktop computer, changing the card would be too easy
[21:35] <das7002> I ran sudo apt-get purge libxml2-dev
[21:35] <Pabix> :( sad
[21:35] <Zachk18> hmmmm
[21:35] <PlasmaSheep> Pabix: or you could move the HDD to another desktop :P
[21:35] <Pabix> PlasmaSheep, yes :)
[21:35] <Zachk18> can you run sudo apt-get update?
[21:35] <PlasmaSheep> Pabix: if you don't find any, then you can invest in a laptop (2.5") hard drive enclosure
[21:35] <dumont> rescue:/etc# fsck --help
[21:35] <dumont> fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
[21:35] <arand> dumont: you probably want to do something like "fsck -p /dev/sda#"
[21:35] <dumont> help doesn't help
[21:35] <das7002> Zachk18: I ctrl-c'd it before it got to far and reinsalled what it took off, but everything still seems fin
[21:35] <Pabix> PlasmaSheep, i note
[21:35] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep i still get the same error... it says that network-manager-gnome dont have a avaible version but there is one in the database
[21:36] <jado> how to list the contents of a package?
[21:36] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: press reload in synaptic
[21:36] <guntbert> dumont: like arand said, but instead of # you type a digit to identify the partition
[21:36] <Zachk18> das7002: so everything is okay you're just wondering why it did that
[21:36] <das7002> Zachk18: yes
[21:36] <VickiWong> arand, Hi sorry, do oyu have that link again for reinstalling packages form the dpkg status file?
[21:36] <dumont> rescue:/dev# fsck -p sda2
[21:36] <dumont> fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
[21:37] <dumont> still nothing
[21:37] <Zachk18> das7002: okay.....hmmm hold on i'll send you a link k?
[21:37] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep that dont help either :(
[21:37] <guntbert> dumont: you are on live CD?
[21:37] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: what happens?
[21:38] <Zachk18> das7002: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/basic-commands/C/files-directories-commands.html
[21:38] <arand> VickiWong: *browsing browser history....
[21:38] <dumont> i'm in rescue mode in my dedicated server
[21:38] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep same error again
[21:38] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: which error?
[21:38] <das7002> Zachk: I am not a n00b http://pastebin.com/m401a30ed apt-get went insane
[21:38] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep it says that network-manager-gnome dont have a avaible version but there is one in the database
[21:38] <guntbert> dumont: what partition do you want to check?
[21:39] <dumont> sda2
[21:39] <guntbert> !who | dumont
[21:39] <guntbert> dumont: is /dev/sda2 unmounted?
[21:40] <dumont> i don't know, i think so
[21:40] <Zachk18> das7002, hey
[21:40] <dumont> guntbert: ^
[21:40] <Zachk18> how do you message in red to somebody?
[21:40] <guntbert> dumont: please check, type mount and read the output
[21:40] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep also that maby its not avaible in sources.list
[21:40] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: so, recap: the cd is in the drive, only synaptic is open, in the software sources window you checked the cd, and synaptic gives you an error after you press "reload"?
[21:40] <arand> VickiWong: http://www.2030.tk/wiki/Backup_Installed_Software_List_on_Ubuntu
[21:41] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: and try to install the package, that is?
[21:41] <VickiWong> arand, you sir, are a star
[21:41] <coffej> i need help installing gspca drivers in jaunty.  I have grabbed gspca-source from the repos, but what next?
[21:41] <dumont> guntbert: doesn't look like its mounted
[21:41] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep yes... gnome network manager
[21:42] <felix_> Good evening. I have a SDHC card in my card reader and I want to format it with GParted. But Gparted does not recognize the card. But the auto-mount of Ubuntu mounts the card without a problem.
[21:42] <giulietta> #ubuntu-it
[21:42] <guntbert> dumont: ok now type fsck -f /dev/sda2
[21:42] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: what does sources.list look like? can you pastebin it?
[21:42] <guntbert> dumont: the -f means "force"
[21:42] <fccf> coffej: uncompress this and read it /usr/share/doc/gspca-source/README.Debian.gz
[21:42] <dumont> ok now it's running
[21:43] <PlasmaSheep> coffej: why not just install gspca?
[21:43] <Neil3> hey all
[21:43] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: doesn't exist
[21:43] <PlasmaSheep> felix_: you could do it with the command line
[21:43] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: ah, clever :P
[21:44] <Sidewinder1> PlasmaSheep> Y do folks always try to do things the hard way?  :-)
[21:44] <Neil3> quick question about cron - if a job is scheduled to run every hour, but it runs for longer than 1 hour, does cron try to run it again an hour later if it's still running - i.e. 2 instances?
[21:44] <PlasmaSheep> Sidewinder1: well, if the gui doesn't work....
[21:44] <sebastian> plasmasheep http://pastebin.com/m29341994
[21:44] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: and this is sources.list on the problem computer, yes?
[21:44] <Sidewinder1> PlasmaSheep> But The GUI Always Works!!!
[21:45] <Sidewinder1> lol
[21:45] <felix_> PlasmaSheep: Jeah, i'm trying it at the moment. But it's really difficult and I can't really look completely through this process. I'm also wondering why Ubuntu only mounts one partition after I formated the disk into two.
[21:45] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep hehe yes
[21:45] <felix_> PlasmaSheep: I created a small boot partition at the beginning. Only 24 MB big. But I don't really now how to access it now.
[21:45] <chris072> can someone please help me with wireless ?
[21:46] <captine> Sorry all. Internet went down.  Anyone here answer my previous question regarding trixbox or other VOIP PABX for ubuntu?
[21:46] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  chris072
[21:46] <Sidewinder1> PlasmaSheep> Sorry, go back to heppin' I was just trying to lighten your mood. :-)
[21:46] <chris072> sebsebseb I tried its a hard driver to install atherous5007
[21:46] <PlasmaSheep> Sidewinder1: hahah
[21:46] <Sidewinder1> :-)
[21:46] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: then replace it with this: http://paste2.org/p/417538
[21:47] <fccf> captine: asterisk is what trixbox is
[21:47] <sebsebseb> chris072: I think usaully can get atherous ones working natively,  also wireless is not my area
[21:47] <PlasmaSheep> felix: try unmounting/remounting (via physics, safely remove the one partition first though)
[21:48] <denniz> hello, I created an image from my sdhc card with dd. the problem is "mount" cant mount .img files. what can i do to mount?
[21:48] <captine> fccf: I know trix is based on asterisk.  just wanintg to know what is best to use? and whether the effort is massive with ubuntu
[21:48] <chris072> anyone using the athrous 5007 drivers working?
[21:49] <ldlework> What is the opengl development package called?
[21:49] <fccf> captine: alot of effort goes into setting up any PBX ... either way you'll be busy
[21:49] <PlasmaSheep> ldlework: try opengl-dev or similar
[21:49] <fccf> captine: how many FXO/FXS's are we talking about
[21:50] <captine> fccf: cool.  Will have to work on it later.  Maybe try getting a VM or something.  I dont have any FXO's/FXS's.  Just 1 SIP provider at the moment for receiving and recording voicemails.

[21:50] <captine> Got any other ideas?
[21:50] <bra1nf00d> does resize2fs support online resize? resize2fs /dev/sdb3 -M -f  --> "...does not supported" just option ?
[21:50] <PlasmaSheep> tythontemple: pwnt
[21:51] <fccf> captine: if that is the case a VM might be the perfect solution
[21:51] <captine> fccf.  Cool.  Will download one now.  Thanks a mil.
[21:51] <fccf> captine: Google Voice
[21:51] <camonz> how do I remove a record from the temporary hosts cache?
[21:52] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep aww crap, still not working :(
[21:52] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: so you replaced it and did sudo apt-get update ?
[21:52] <dumont> how long does fsck take to check a partition?
[21:53] <PlasmaSheep> dumont: depends on siz
[21:53] <PlasmaSheep> *size
[21:53] <captine> fccf I am in South Africa.  Cant register for that
[21:53] <dumont> 200GB
[21:53] <captine> But will once available here

[21:53] <wizzo50> list of different channels on #ubuntu
[21:53] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: did apt return errors?
[21:53] <fccf> captine: it is soooo cool ... I love it ... Transcription of voicemail is really good
[21:53] <PlasmaSheep> and were there lines beginning with "Hit"?
[21:54] <sebastian> plasmasheep yes same errors and no
[21:54] <captine> fccf.  It really sounds cool.  Those google dudes may get moaned at about privacy from time to time, but damn they know how to make cool products
[21:54] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: so no lines with "hit"?
[21:54] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: any lines with "ign"?
[21:56] <credobyte> how do I change min. panel height in a gtk-2.0 theme ( gtkrc ) ?
[21:56] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep network-manager-gnome is not availble, but another package refer to it.. it can mean that the package has been aged or is only availble from other sources
[21:56] <coffej> PlasmaSheep, fccf: I attempted the instruction in readme and get an error in  "install gspca in the kernel binary tree"
[22:00] <VickiWong> having some werid issues since reinstalling Ubuntu and migrating /home and use
[22:01] <VickiWong> terminal prompt only displays $ rather then username/computername as it used to do
[22:01]  * SJr hugs paultwang 
[22:01] <VickiWong> also using the arrow keys in terminal puts in characters suchs as ^[[A for the up arrow, rather then cycling previous commands
[22:02] <luser> Odd situation. A friend who speaks little english has asked me, who doesn't have ubuntu, to find out how to do something in ubuntu.
[22:02] <VickiWong> also if i try to install gparted i get "Package gparted has no installation candidate"
[22:03] <VickiWong> and type gparted reutnrs "sh: gparted: not found"
[22:03] <luser> He's installed the 'gp' package from the ubuntu package manager, and now wants a shortcut on his desktop to launch (a terminal running) gp.
[22:03] <fccf> coffej: you need to have the kernel libraries, this isn't beginner stuff... I just pointed you in the right direction
[22:03] <sebastian> plasmasheep is there anyway i can install it from the live cd since the internet works there?
[22:03] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: so no lines with "hit" were returned in the terminal?
[22:04] <dumont> after I: mount -t /dev/sda2, how do I access that partition's files?
[22:04] <dumont> where are they located?
[22:04] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone suggest a good app for ripping music of cds?
[22:04] <sebastian> PlasmaSheep none
[22:04] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: you could go onto the live cd, download a deb to your partition, reboot, then install it
[22:04] <PlasmaSheep> sebastian: so "sudo apt-get update" returned absolutely nothing in the terminal?
[22:04] <rgx3> hello, can anyone help me with usb 2.0 driver problem?
[22:04] <PlasmaSheep> !ask | rgx3
[22:04] <PlasmaSheep> I need a keybind for that

[22:13] <sebsebseb> luser: what it's called gpart  now  rather than gparted?
[22:13] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, my bad needed to run an apt-get update
[22:13] <RichiV> credobyte: does anything go in the +x?
[22:13] <luser> sebsebseb - I'm basing that on my debian
[22:13] <sebsebseb> luser: ok well pretty sure  it's gparted in  Ubuntu
[22:13] <sebsebseb> !info gparted
[22:13] <sebsebseb> luser: and yes it is
[22:13] <sebsebseb> luser: see
[22:14] <luser> sebsebseb - yup, my bad. gpart is detection, not changind
[22:14] <sebsebseb> luser: detection ?
[22:14] <Third3ye> Hey folks :) I've installed linux-crashdump and crash. Now how do I export the crash dump? I'm at a loss here.
[22:14] <Guest74939> I have an installable cd version of ubuntu. I would like to install it on my old hard drive, which currently has Vista installed. What must I do to make this happen? I seem boot only from the hard drive - don't know how to start with the CD. I've tried formatting the drive, but Vista seems to prevent me from destroying it.
[22:15] <credobyte> RichiV, no - it means that it will make your file executable.
[22:15] <luser> sebsebseb - muck your disk up and need to recover partition table
[22:15] <RichiV> credobyte: i cannot execute it
[22:15] <coffeej> fccf: can i just use the deb?
[22:15] <RichiV> theres no app or file type installed fr this
[22:15] <credobyte> RichiV, sudo chmod +x filename.bin && ./filename.bin
[22:15] <Fayne> O.O
[22:15] <credobyte> RichiV, replace only filename
[22:15] <credobyte> RichiV, still gives an error ?
[22:16] <sebsebseb> luser: oh your on about some feature of it  I guess, and I should have said that I know it's called gparted in Ubuntu
[22:16] <RichiV> credobyte: its giving me a bunch of info
[22:16] <credobyte> RichiV, http://paste.ubuntu.com
[22:16] <RichiV> mk nvm it was just licese agreement
[22:16] <RichiV> credobyte: thankyou!
[22:16] <luser> RichiV - can you run 'file' on it - what file type does it claim to be
[22:17] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: ah ok
[22:17] <credobyte> RichiV, np.
[22:17] <RichiV> luser: its working now its ok ;)

[22:17] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, is it possible to add a repository from another pc, on the same network, in the sources .list ?

[22:18] <AutoMatriX> would be nice so dat I dont have to downlad every time the same upgrades when I install another machine

[22:26] <kamagatos> hi
[22:26] <Guest50920> Hello
[22:26] <kamagatos> how can I secure a folder in my home directory with password
[22:26] <Guest50920> Um, this is the ubuntu support channel yes?
[22:26] <APirateIsFree> RichiV, you install  sun-java6-plugin
[22:26] <APirateIsFree> ?
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> Guest50920: yes
[22:26] <josvuk> hi, there
[22:26] <kamagatos> or activate a guest account when gdm starts?
[22:27] <LoCoBoi187> hey guys my hcid.conf doesnt exist, and my bluetooth mouse pairs but it doesnt work, it works on windows though, how do i fix this?
[22:27] <luser> guntbert: over an ssh over an ssh, sirc doesn't want to play ball.
[22:27] <RichiV> should i sudo apt-get it?
[22:27] <ikonia> luser: create the hcid.conf
[22:27] <ikonia> luser: sorry
[22:27] <josvuk> where are some png icons in ubuntu file hierrachy
[22:27] <LoCoBoi187> ikonia how>?
[22:27] <ikonia> LoCoBoi187: create the hcid.conf
[22:27] <Ekushey> !bd
[22:27] <APirateIsFree> RichiV, yes then try again
[22:27] <Guest50920> Can someone tell me the command to change my Nick?  Again, thank you.
[22:27] <josvuk> I need one for an example app
[22:27] <linxeh> Guest50920: /nick
[22:28] <RichiV> ApiratelsFree: whats the command line?
[22:28] <LoCoBoi187> ikonia: i created it but i dont know what information is in there, and even if there is, the program has to control that file and i think the program is corrupt
[22:28] <LeifAndersen> Thank you.
[22:28] <ikonia> LoCoBoi187: why do you think the program (what program ??) is corrupt
[22:28] <APirateIsFree> RichiV, sudo apt-get install  sun-java6-plugin
[22:28] <guntbert> luser: its ok, was just a hint for more comfort :-)
[22:28] <RichiV> kk got it
[22:29] <RichiV> lol
[22:29] <LoCoBoi187> ikonia: if there is no hcid.conf, i doubt there is a program thats controlling it
[22:29] <luser> guntbert - and to avoid embarassing typos - apologies :-)
[22:29] <LeifAndersen> Okay, now, do any of you know how to turn off the Nvidea Drivers in the terminal (or at least to go back to the open source ones)?
[22:29] <LeifAndersen> Again, thanks.
[22:30] <ikonia> LoCoBoi187: you doubt wrong then, currently the desktop applications are controling your bluetooth devices, in the same way gnome-networkmanager is controlling your network,. but /etc/network/interfaces will still work if you want
[22:30] <sascha_> LeifAndersen, you change driver nvidia to driver nv in your xorg.conf and restart X
[22:30] <LoCoBoi187> ikonia: i am wrong then =/; how do i know what to put in the hcid.conf?
[22:31] <LeifAndersen> sascha_ Thank you, I'll give it a shot.
[22:31] <ikonia> LoCoBoi187: install "bluez" or the "bluetooth" pacakge
[22:31] <LoCoBoi187> ikonia: already installed
[22:31] <guntbert> luser: accepted :-) ---- NO apologies needed - I really wanted to tell you about the comfort :)

[22:34] <Darkebrz> chmod +x jdk-6<version>-linux-i586.bin, I'm guessing on the terminal. When I do this though, it just returns chmod: cannot access `jdk-6u16-linux-i586.bin': No such file or directory
[22:34] <DasEi> locate or find, maybe do a : sudo updatedb before,  josvuk
[22:34] <Darkebrz> Can anyone help?
[22:34] <LoCoBoi187> ikonia: can u guide me through in a PM please?

[22:49] <ikonia> LoCoBoi187: just check out the link ActionParsnip posted
[22:49] <LoCoBoi187> ikonia: i already got it to pair, thats not the prob

[22:50] <rabidweezle> anyone know how to get firefox to make middle mouse click = scroll mode?
[22:51] <ikonia> LoCoBoi187: I guess that will depend on the devices if they can remember connections for more than once device, from what you are saying, they can't, however the keyboard/mouse I use on my laptop works fine
[22:51] <PlasmaSheep> rabidweezle: this is #ubuntu, wrong channel
[22:51] <scerri83> hello
[22:51] <ikonia> PlasmaSheep: thats fine to ask
[22:51] <LoCoBoi187> ohhh
[22:51] <RichiV> rahhh no my lvl 98 RS account was hacked!!! i had like 2000k and i was LVL 98!
[22:51] <PlasmaSheep> ikonia: I thought the topic was ubuntu support?
[22:51] <ircahr> How is what that is.
[22:51] <ikonia> rabidweezle: the mouse wheel is normally enabled by default, is it just firefox it's not working for
[22:51] <ikonia> PlasmaSheep: mouse wheel is ubuntu
[22:52] <RichiV> is there something like a "task manager" ?
[22:52] <roboboy> process watcher or whatever in systems yes
[22:52] <suman> so, if i want to check the latest version of a particular software in the source repositories, how do i do that??
[22:52] <codeshah> hi guys, I want autoconf 2.13 instead of the latest, how do I install this using package manager?
[22:52] <ikonia> suman: open synaptic, search for the software, read the version number next to it
[22:53] <ikonia> codeshah: depends if it's packaged up for that version
[22:53] <roboboy> richiv: forget exactly what it is called but it is there.  I think in the systems menu  Process something I think.
[22:53] <suman> ikonia: isn't there a command line way to do that??
[22:53] <codeshah> ikonia, where can I check ?
[22:53] <ikonia> codeshah: in the package manager
[22:53] <ikonia> suman: apt-cache and apt-policy
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> codeshah: you need a repo with the old version,or compile the old version yourself
[22:53] <RichiV> roboboy: thnx.. i found it though its called system processes
[22:53] <suman> ikonia: thanks
[22:53] <josvuk> DasEi: find /usr/share/icons/gnome -name *.png does the magic. Thank you for information. bye
[22:53] <codeshah> it seems dapper has autoconf 2.13 : http://packages.ubunut.com/dapper/autoconf
[22:54] <rabidweezle> ikonia: The mouse wheel works :) It's just I know there is a way to make it so if you click down on the wheel it goes into *autoscroll* mode, but I can't seem to remember how to do it :(
[22:54] <ikonia> codeshah: I wouldn't try to put that on anything post 6.06
[22:54] <codeshah> ikonia, ok, so probably best to compile autoconf 2.13 manually [litespeed needs it]
[22:54] <ikonia> rabidweezle: ahh, that used to be done in xorg.conf, you hat to set a certain mode for the wheel's click
[22:54] <codeshah> and then link it to 2.13 and switch back later?
[22:54] <ikonia> codeshah: will it not use a later version ?
[22:54] <rabidweezle> oh yeah
[22:55] <codeshah> ikonia, no :( http://wiki.cpaneldirect.net/wiki/index.php/Posix.c:471:_error:_%27struct_utsname%27_has_no_member_named_%27domainname%27
[22:55] <ikonia> rabidweezle: can't remember the mode though, sorry
[22:55] <rabidweezle> ikonia: ahh, alright, that rings a bell
[22:55] <ikonia> codeshah: log a but with cpanel to update their software then, as that's an old version
[22:55] <rabidweezle> ikonia: I will investigate further on my own :) thanks for the help
[22:55] <ikonia> rabidweezle: not a problem

[22:57] <cyber_666_uk> hey guys, is there a plugin or somthing to make my folders automatically show a preview of the photos inside if its a photos folder, like windows's thumbnail view?
[22:58] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  cbmuser
[22:58] <ikonia> rabidweezle: that's fantastic !
[22:58] <ikonia> rabidweezle: I didn't know about that
[22:58] <rabidweezle> in windows it's enabled by default I think ikonia
[22:58] <rabidweezle> but thankfully, I don't use windows XD
[22:58] <ikonia> rabidweezle: good find
[22:59] <basilesque> I updated my video card drivers now when I start ubuntu it is completely black, how do I fix this???
[22:59] <sascha_> cyber_666_uk, nautilus (the filemanager from gnome) does not do that but KDE's filemanager does
[22:59] <ekimmargni> How can I get things to always print in reverse order (so page one ends up on top, for a regular inkjet printer)?

[22:59] <cyber_666_uk> oh shame - ok thx anyway
[22:59] <Guest74939> Does anyone know how to install ubuntu from an install cd on a hard drive that currently has vista installed on it?
[22:59] <bittyx> quick question: grub uses /boot/grub/menu.lst for configuration. if the linux partitions are deleted (by, say, a windows installation), how do you configure grub?

[22:59] <ircahr> What is the universe?
[22:59] <pinvoke> hi, anyone knows, please, what is the best download manager for linux supporting mass downloading (something that can automatically grab all links to files present on a page and put it in a downloading queue) ? or a way to do that?
[22:59]  * LinuxGold is looking for Quicken equivalent for Ubuntu
[23:00] <sebsebseb> !universe |  ircahr
[23:00] <ekimmargni> Guest74939: that's all over the faqs
[23:00] <Guest74939> ok. Thanks.
[23:00] <ircahr> Okey
[23:00] <DasEi> basilesque: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg_broken  then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:00] <sascha_> pinvoke, there are firefox addons that do that
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> Guest74939: you can use wubi, or you can boot to CD and resize ntfs, if you go for the resize ensure your backups are recent just in case
[23:00] <ircahr> Why is life?
[23:00] <basilesque> dasei: where do i type that, the splash screen?
[23:00] <pinvoke> sascha_, could you please give their  name?

[23:00] <pinvoke> or any good download manager for ubuntu
[23:01] <DasEi> !safemode | basilesque
[23:01] <basilesque> dasei: i dont know how to get to safemode
[23:01] <Turl> LinuxGold: try Moneydance or GNUCash or KMyMoney
[23:01] <sascha_> pinvoke, no but if you just go to the featured or popular addons you will see them, they are quite popular (you are not the only one downloading .... things).
[23:01] <DasEi> basilesque : at grub, press esc, choose recoverymode
[23:01] <sebsebseb> pinvoke: Firefox has a download manager built in,   also wget is an interesting way to download things
[23:01] <bittyx> quick question: grub uses /boot/grub/menu.lst for configuration. if the linux partitions are deleted (by, say, a windows installation), how do you (or can you) configure grub? this vista recovery thing doesn't fix the mbr for some reason, can i do it with an ubuntu livecd?

[23:03] <pinvoke> I just need some download manager having similar future to flashget's "download all" option
[23:03] <rabidweezle> pinvoke: there is a couple download manager addons to firefox that can do stuff like that
[23:03] <Stewy> hi folks. i've been banging my head against a brick wall all evening. same prob on 2 separate ubuntu machines (jaunty and hardy). neither of them have firewalls, but neither seem to want to accept incoming connections despite the ports being correctly forwarded. any pointers as to where i should look?
[23:03] <enthdegree> hello!
[23:03] <sebsebseb> rabidweezle:  yeah  I was thinking  of that to suggest  pinvoke  finds an add on for Firefox
[23:03] <basilesque> dasei: i got to recovery mode but i dont see how to select command line
[23:03] <DasEi> !hi | enthdegree
[23:04] <DasEi> basilesque : netroot or root,  scroll down the options
[23:04] <sebsebseb> rabidweezle:  I think you can save a webpage in Firefox and most/all of it's contents onto your computer
[23:04] <sebsebseb> rabidweezle: ah messaged wrong one
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> Stewy: can you ping the IPs on the LAN. Can you connect to localhost on the systems? Can you connect over the LAN via whatever service?
[23:04] <sebsebseb> pinvoke: see above
[23:04] <rabidweezle> :)
[23:04] <pinvoke> sebsebseb, it's a file directory not really a web page
[23:04] <Stewy> Action: yeah, i can access the ports through the lan... everything works fine locally. just from outside is the problem
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> Stewy: use tab to complete my name ;)
[23:05] <rabidweezle> pinvoke: check out firefox addons :) I know I used one that did that
[23:05] <sebsebseb> !info wget

[23:05]  * rabidweezle looks it up

[23:07] <TheEvilOne> i just reinstalled ubuntu and before doing so i copied all my important stuff to my debian partition now when trying to copy it back it says i dont have permission even though i accessed the folder using root
[23:07] <cbmuser> ubottu: thanks, I will hop over to the other channel
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> Stewy: then the port forwarding is wrong. I suggest you use static IPs to ensure the IP forwaring stay consitant
[23:07] <pinvoke> does flashgot firefox addon work under ubuntu?
[23:07] <sebsebseb> !thanks |  cbmuser

[23:08] <DasEi> pinvoke: yes, they all used to work
[23:08] <cbmuser> sebsebseb: hehe, I didn't know thats a bot :).
[23:08] <egc> i guess it would be a profiler, but i dont see that they collect info like that?
[23:08] <Stewy> ActionParsnip: port forwarding is spot on, on both machines which are on separate networks altogether. i'm wondering if i may have a problem with /etc/network/interfaces. the gateway is set,

[23:12] <Stewy> ActionParsnip: right. hmm. seems strange that i've got the same problem with two servers on completely different networks. like i said, i know 100% that port forwarding is correctly set otherwise the emails would be bouncing on one of them! hehe. could my problem have something to do with the way i'm invoking the program i wish to connect to? i'm trying to launch a luxrender server and the command is ".
[23:12] <lstarnes> yassine_: edit the configuration files in /etc/ssh
[23:12] <lstarnes> yassine_: specifically, the files ssh_config and sshd_config
[23:12] <Stewy> "./luxconsole -s"
[23:12] <lstarnes> yassine_: see also man ssh_config and man sshd_config
[23:13] <Stewy> ActionParsnip: but telnetting to it from outside the network from my machine at home gives me a timeout
[23:13] <DasEi> basilesque : humm, strange , then back in safemode: nano /etc/X11/xorg  , blank all lines, try to start with empty xorg
[23:13] <yassine_> lstarnes, the man help is so difficult
[23:13] <sebsebseb> pinvoke: stil here?
[23:13] <PlasmaSheep> aleron6: download the linux/unix package from here http://assault.cubers.net/media/
[23:13] <PlasmaSheep> aleron6: decompress it
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> Stewy: you could try a traceroute
[23:13] <lstarnes> yassine_: configuring ssh isn't exactly meant to be easy
[23:14] <DasEi> basilesque : (ctrl-o stores emptyfile, ctrl-x leaves nano
[23:14] <Stewy> ActionParsnip: good idea! bah my brains not working :D
[23:14] <yassine_> lstarnes,yes
[23:14] <yassine_> lstarnes, so i want help
[23:14] <basilesque> dasei: ok, but it already is blank unless you were referning to xorg.conf

Can anyone point me to doccumentation on this? All i could find in my search was help for windows users...
[23:15] <DasEi> scotter: hmm ,no but read
[23:15] <yassine_> lstarnes, first how i configure the key and how i connect to another or remote PC
[23:15] <fishbulb> I have install UNR on a Lenovo S10-2 and trying to figure out what is the best power management software to use
[23:15] <lstarnes> yassine_: ssh user@other-PC-IP
[23:15] <fishbulb> What is everyone using?
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> phoenixhouse: you need at least 2
[23:16] <scottter> haha, thanks. i had connection issues, just checking
[23:16] <lstarnes> yassine_: you can use ssh-keygen for making keys
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> fishbulb: there is no best
[23:16] <scottter> oh and please help if you can http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1260429
[23:16] <fishbulb> haha ok Action
[23:16] <DasEi> scotter: np
[23:16] <lstarnes> yassine_: by default the public key will be stored in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[23:16] <fishbulb> Well I notice this thing just drains my battery
[23:16] <phoenixhouse> yeah ActionParsnip i gathered that i would need like 3 or 4 partitions to install ubuntu...
[23:16] <basilesque> dasei: that didnt help either. im gonna try to restart the drivers update package
[23:16] <lstarnes> yassine_: ~/.ssh/id_rsa is the default user private key
[23:17] <fishbulb> where should I begn to look to learn more about how this thing controls how much power it consumes?
[23:17] <DasEi> basilesque: or remove-purge it
[23:17] <phoenixhouse> do you know where i can find out how big they should be and of what partition map to use?
[23:17] <fishbulb> it has a 6 cell battery so its supposed to last 5-6 hours
[23:17] <WaterRatj> Is there a way to install ubuntu-minimal with wubi?
[23:17] <fishbulb> im getting like 1 1/2 hours
[23:17] <basilesque> dasei: i dunno where the drivers went, i just have the run pkg
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> phoenixhouse: you need one for swap and one for /. I suggest a small partition for / and a seperate /home folder
[23:17] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: Wubi :(
[23:17] <sascha_> fishbulb, there is a tool called powertop, install and run it as root
[23:17] <sascha_> fishbulb, it will show you which hardware/processes uses how much power
[23:17] <WaterRatj> Something bad with wubi?
[23:17] <fishbulb> powertop
[23:17] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: yes
[23:17] <fishbulb> nice
[23:18] <BlackViper2> !wubi
[23:18] <phoenixhouse> hum
[23:18] <DasEi> basilesque: was it a deb ? nvidia-sh ?
[23:18] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: people can get weird issues with it, etc
[23:18] <sascha_> fishbulb, you probably have wlan pm disabled because their is no gui for it
[23:18] <basilesque> dasei nvidia-sh
[23:18] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: plus it's inside Windows so a bit hmm
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> WaterRatj: i think it sucks
[23:18] <phoenixhouse> ActionParsnip: how big is "small" 1-2GB? 100mb? 1mb?
[23:18] <fishbulb> ah that could be
[23:18] <BlackViper2> WaterRatj, i dont like it either
[23:18] <WaterRatj> Is there a other ay to install ubuntu then without a cd-rom drive and usb boot?
[23:18] <Stewy> ActionParsnip: even though i'm only 2.8 miles away, it's 12 hops away.
[23:18] <fishbulb> thanks sascha, let me look into powertop for a minute
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> phoenixhouse: about 7Gb here
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> Stewy: something not right there
[23:19] <kevdog> Just discoverd the cygports collection on cygwin -- not that this has anything to do with Ubuntu -- but make my Win installation with cygwin be more "Ubuntu" like
[23:19] <DasEi> basilesque: on your own risk, as its broken right now anyway, try envyng
[23:19] <basilesque> dasei: when i did it the first time, seemed to finish fine, then asked me to set default graphics or something
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> phoenixhouse: then 2Gb for swap, the rest for home, depends on use. If you intend to install a tonne of apps then assign more to /
[23:19] <Stewy> ActionParsnip: well i am on virgin, and the other on Plusnet ;)
[23:19] <revenge> can someone help me install this www.linuxsampler.com?
[23:19] <sascha_> fishbulb, also check out lesswatts.org
[23:19] <DasEi> basilesque:sudo apt-get install envy-qt
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> !envy | DasEi
[23:20] <phoenixhouse> one more question: is swap what RAM is written to when the computer sleeps?
[23:20] <basilesque> dasei: k, ill try that after this goes through (trying the driver again one last time)
[23:20] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: net install
[23:20] <DasEi> basilesque:sudo  envy-qt
[23:20] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: ,but  for now you may as well do 9.04  with Wubi or  in a virtual machine inside Windows
[23:20] <WaterRatj> Some information about tht?
[23:21] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: then when  9.10 is out  you can think about how  your going to put Ubuntu on more properly
[23:21] <WaterRatj> yeah but i want a minimal installation? and it seems wubi installs full
[23:21] <sascha_> phoenixhouse,
[23:21] <phoenixhouse> if so, then swap should be 3gb
[23:21] <sebsebseb> !netinstall |  WaterRatj
[23:21] <fccf> !minimal
[23:21] <e1nh4nd3r> phoenixhouse: I don't think that's quite right.  I'm not a Ubuntu expert, but I think it writes it to a hidden file on the disk then re-reads it when it comes out of sleep.
[23:21] <sebsebseb> fccf: he said without CD Rom or USB
[23:21] <basilesque> dasei: bah, now it showed me a dialog saying ubuntu is running in low graphics mode and i cant movethe cursor
[23:21] <e1nh4nd3r> phonenixhouse: I vaguely remember that was default behavior in Windows.
[23:21] <BlackViper2> !unetbootin
[23:22] <sebsebseb> BlackViper2: without CD ROM  or USB
[23:22] <fccf> sebsebseb: different animal
[23:22] <DasEi> basilesque:try tab > reconfigure graphics
[23:22] <BlackViper2> sebsebseb, that can be saved to the hard drive too
[23:22] <sascha_> phoenixhouse, when you use hibernate ram is written to the swap-partition, suspend just keeps the ram alive (powered)
[23:22] <BlackViper2> the bot needs updated
[23:23] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: ok do you have a working 9.04 Wubi set up at the moment?
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> BlackViper2: you can update it
[23:23] <e1nh4nd3r> sascha_: Ah, Ubuntu actually writes it to the swap?  That's good to know...
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> BlackViper2: type: /msg ubottu hi
[23:23] <BlackViper2> ActionParsnip, install different distros
[23:23] <Stewy> ActionParsnip: well i'm stumped hehe. ports are correctly forwarded as the email server on the other machine works fine. all i did was add another forward rule to the router, but it's not reaching luxrender. yet it does from another machine on the lan.
[23:23] <phoenixhouse> so then the swap partition should be as big the ammount of ram on the computer, if not a little bigger?
[23:24] <fishbulb> sascha  powertop is pretty cool, I like how it suggests thigns to correct based on its readings
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> BlackViper2: then you can type: !<whatever> is <some description>
[23:24] <sascha_> e1nh4nd3r, afaik thats the normal behaviour, but i think it can also be told to write into some file
[23:24] <BlackViper2> ActionParsnip, cool
[23:24] <BlackViper2> thanks
[23:24] <kudi> for those of you who use your chat client for aim,irc, yahoo etc etc....are you using pidgin or is there something lighter
[23:24] <WaterRatj> No not yet
[23:24] <fccf> ActionParsnip: BlackViper2: you have to have a registered nick on freenode though
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> BlackViper2: dont go adding random stuff, its a waste of time as the admins need to review submissions
[23:24] <BlackViper2> ok
[23:25] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: ok  Wubi or Virtual machine
[23:25] <WaterRatj> Wubi
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> kudi: pidgin is pretty light
[23:25] <omgd> Kudi
[23:25] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: virtual machine may be better for now as in before 9.10 is released, how much RAM do you have?
[23:25] <omgd> Bitlbee irc server
[23:25] <omgd> Use wubi
[23:25] <phoenixhouse> what type of file system should I use for the swap and / partitions?
[23:25] <omgd> Its awsome
[23:25] <sascha_> fishbulb, powertop is also being integrated into gnome's power manager.
[23:26] <WaterRatj> on the pc for linux on 512
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> Stewy: try rebooting the router
[23:26] <e1nh4nd3r> sascha_: That's good to know.  :)  Thanks.
[23:26] <sascha_> fishbulb, hopefully at some point it will be accessible on the desktop and settings can be saved
[23:26] <BlackViper2> i cant burn cd's and i dont have a usb drive and i used unetbootin to do my distro hopping
[23:26] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: oh  512MB RAM I see,   which means a vm will be slow
[23:26] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: or will probably be slow
[23:26] <test_empathy> Just trying Empathy, sorry for the noise:-(

[23:27] <Stewy> ActionParsnip: cheers for the help though matey. i think i'll tackle it with a fresh head tomorrow :)
[23:27] <WaterRatj> I used ubuntu live cd once, and debian and crunchbang thats based on ubuntu

[23:29] <test_empathy> Ok, Empathy seems to work.  I didn't get it to download a list of chatrooms, but had to join this channel manually by typing in #ubuntu.  Bug?  Feature (that I don't understand) or misconfiguration?  Pidgin shows room/channel lists when I'd expect to see them...
[23:30] <ctmjr> RichiV: ifconfig
[23:30] <xTheGoat121x> I'm still on Intrepid and I'm wondering if there's a specific setting in my .gtkrc file or something to set the colors for notification-daemon
[23:30] <phoenixhouse> A Question: I am in the manual partitioner, trying to create a swap partition - the bottom option says Mount Point and gives the options to select "/", "/boot", "/home", "/tmp", "/usr", "/var", "/srv", "/opt", and "/usr/local". --which to i choose to be able to use it as a swat? or does it matter??
[23:30] <RichiV> ctmjr: ty
[23:31] <Darkebrz> Okay, Im trying to copy some files that are on my Windows partition (which appears to be /dev/sda2, but is "mounted" on /host). I can access it with cd /host, but then I can't navigate into any further directories. How would I do this?
[23:31] <phoenixhouse> and what file system should be used? does it matter?
[23:31] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: well  you could find out about that netinstall to do a more proper set up,  but if I was you I woudn't bother  finding out loads about that,  before  Ubuntu 9.10 is released at the end of October.  With  the fast to boot and shutdown Ext4 file system by default :)  10 seconds or so boot up yeah :).  So you can do 9.04 with Wubi whilst waiting for that,  and  then netinstall for 9.10.  Or do 9.10 with Wubi   which as far as I know
[23:31] <sebsebseb> won't be using Ext4.
[23:31] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: when I  looked into netinstall a bit, and  someone was telling me  about it,  it seemed a bit complacted
[23:32] <DasEi> Darkebrz: try without / in front, like /host$ :  cd windows
[23:32] <ctmjr> RichiV: no problem
[23:33] <WaterRatj> Okay thanks for the help :D
[23:33] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: ok so what you going to do?   Wubi 9.04 and then?  oh yeah and no probs
[23:34] <WaterRatj> Yeah prolly, its just for testing purpose anyway, but only downside is, no wayfor wubi for minimal installation
[23:35] <omgd> Is there anyway to sync ipodtouch on ubuntu?
[23:35] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: well you can remove stuff that has been installed  by default, from it
[23:35] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: I think
[23:35] <Darkebrz> DasEi: I'm sorry, I really don't understand. I'm just trying to navigate directories. What is '/host$ : cd windows' supposed to do?
[23:36] <kevdog> Darkebrz: What are you trying to do
[23:36] <Darkebrz> Im trying to navigate the directories of my windows partition
[23:36] <DasEi> Darkebrz: you said it's mounted on /host,  so first cd /host,  then cd windows or whatever you have
[23:37] <kevdog> When you cd to /host -- whats listed when you do a ls -la or dir statement
[23:37] <grkblood13> what is a good log viewer?
[23:37] <LinuxGold> tail -f
[23:38] <phoenixhouse> is 8192mb too big for a swap partition?
[23:38] <LinuxGold> phoenixhouse: how much RAM do you have?
[23:38] <phoenixhouse> 3gb
[23:38] <grkblood13> LinuxGold, i need something to convert timestamps
[23:38] <LinuxGold> it is practical to mach swap file with RAM size
[23:38] <kevdog> phoenixhouse: Ive never needed one that big but it wont hurt
[23:38] <Darkebrz> kevdog: It lists all my files in what would be C:\\ and some information that I don't understand
[23:38] <BlackViper2> !swap
[23:38] <LinuxGold> s/mach/match/
[23:38] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: Did I actsauly go on webpages regarding the netinstall hmm,  anyway good luck
[23:38] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: with Wubi
[23:39] <kevdog> Darkebrz -- Ok so what if you just do from the host directory a cd <directory_name>
[23:39] <LinuxGold> phoenixhouse: If I were you, I would split into 3 Gb each, inactivate 1 and turn it on when needed.
[23:39] <Darkebrz> kevdog: Oh thanks, that worked :P
[23:39] <phoenixhouse> i never thought of that
[23:39] <kevdog> Darkebrz: You may also be running into a permissions problem -- meaning that you will need to be the owner and group
[23:39] <phoenixhouse> :)
[23:40] <WaterRatj> sebsebseb: Hmm, my desktop has option boot from usb but when i burn iso to stick it won't boot? you know how this would be caused?
[23:40] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: put USB has the first boot device,  and make sure you put  Ubuntu on properly onto the USB stick, then it should work I guess
[23:40] <sebsebseb> !usb |  WaterRatj
[23:41] <LinuxGold> phoenixhouse: If you NEVER used that 2nd swap, use it for music files ;)
[23:41] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: ,but  yes  installing from USB  stick or  using a persistent  USB install, would be better than using Wubi
[23:41] <xguru> does mythtv work with xbox360?
[23:41] <WaterRatj> i'm making one with, UNetbootin is this ok?
[23:41] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: yep  that should do it
[23:42] <miamimike> Hi, how can I change the 'comments' font color in Bluefish?  It is white and matches background color very difficult to read?  Thanks
[23:42] <WaterRatj> sebsebseb: okay its still busy, you still online for a bit?
[23:42] <ctmjr_> xguru: the #mythtv channel might be able to answer that
[23:43] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: yep
[23:43] <panv> Please, i need help to make the sound work on my hp pavilion dv3000
[23:43] <xguru> ctmjr_: thanks
[23:43] <KB1JWQ> I have a cell phone with a 3G data connection.  I'd like to tether it to my ubuntu netbook over USB; anyone have any guidance as to how to pull this off?
[23:43] <panv> it has been ten days i am trying to solve it.. but no way
[23:43] <panv> i have looked everywhere on google...
[23:43] <panv> in vain
[23:43] <KB1JWQ> panv: No sound whatsoever?
[23:43] <panv> KB1JWQ, i cannot hear any sound
[23:44] <panv> and i don't know what to do
[23:44] <KB1JWQ> panv: I have a fix for you in my archives, stand by
[23:44] <panv> am ready KB1JWQ
[23:44] <phoenixhouse> so for the Location of New Partition (beginning/end) option, the End option will place it at the outermost ring of the hard drive?
[23:44] <KB1JWQ> panv: Taking a few minutes to sync; I'll ping you when I have the link ready.
[23:45] <panv> am over here.. waiting KB1JWQ
[23:45] <phoenixhouse> (and thus have the fastest read/write speed on the disk)
[23:45] <fccf> panv: have you tried plugging in a pair of headsets?
[23:45] <panv> ya.. fccf .. it wouldnt' work too
[23:45] <zzattack> my mdadm software raid failed after a drive assignment change. how do I get it running again?
[23:45] <panv> i suspect it's a hardware issue...
[23:45] <LinuxGold> phoenixhouse: that is in theory, i used swapfile from inside hard drive, performance didn't show any difference.
[23:46] <panv> coz i don't have slider for sound
[23:46] <panv> but rather.. some sort of a touchpad
[23:46] <LinuxGold> phoenixhouse: I would just set a swap file somewhere and get over with.
[23:46] <KB1JWQ> panv: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/318942 Should apply to yours as well
[23:46] <phoenixhouse> k
[23:46] <EpicReviews> are bots allowed in here?
[23:46] <panv> i'll check KB1JWQ
[23:46] <panv> thanks for trying.. i hope it works..
[23:46] <RHorse> panv check the bios to see if there's a way to disable the touchpad control
[23:46] <sebsebseb> EpicReviews: only offical Ubuntu bots
[23:47] <EpicReviews> oh ok.
[23:47] <sebsebseb> EpicReviews: as far as I know you can check in #ubuntu-ops if you like
[23:47] <EpicReviews> sebsebseb: there's a learning bot in here right now, all it does is learn conversation
[23:48] <sebsebseb> EpicReviews: meaning?
[23:48] <EpicReviews> sebsebseb: it's just gaining knowledge right now.
[23:48] <Gnea> EpicReviews: what bot?
[23:48] <EpicReviews> it's a secret ;)
[23:48] <sebsebseb> EpicReviews: a bit that gains knowledge hmm???
[23:49] <sebsebseb> EpicReviews: well  not everything that is said in here is Ubuntu knowledge
[23:49] <Gnea> EpicReviews: you brought it in here?
[23:49] <BlackViper2> !bot
[23:49] <EpicReviews> I did not bring it in
[23:49] <sebsebseb> EpicReviews: bot not bit above
[23:49] <phoenixhouse> so if im using 64-bit ubuntu, does it matter if i format with ext3 or ext4?
[23:49] <eboyjr> Hello.
[23:49] <sebsebseb> phoenixhouse: not exactly, but
[23:50] <sebsebseb> phoenixhouse: Ext4 is a bit hmm in  Ubuntu 9.04,  but will be the default in 9.10, and it has  10 seconds or so boot up :)
[23:50] <eboyjr> sebsebseb: How is it hmm?
[23:50] <LinuxGold> when will 9.10 come out?
[23:50] <eboyjr> sebsebseb: ext4 I mean
[23:50] <fccf> !karmic | LinuxGold
[23:50] <LinuxGold> cool
[23:50] <sebsebseb> eboyjr: in 9.04, because they don't have a proper kernel for it, and so people can for example get a lockup issue when deleting big files, and so on
[23:51] <kevdog> Isn't the name 10 -- pretty much indicative it will come out in Oct?
[23:51] <sebsebseb> kevdog: yep year and month
[23:51] <eboyjr> sebsebseb: Oh I see thanks
[23:51] <Gnea> EpicReviews: who runs it?
[23:51] <phoenixhouse> so i think ill use ext4 then, so i can upgrade to 9.10 easier
[23:52]  * EpicReviews tells no tales, but it wasn't me.
[23:52] <Gnea> EpicReviews: but you know :)
[23:52] <eboyjr> Hey guys. I am trying to test postfix, and I am getting some errors and I have no clue what they mean. For example 'relay access denied'.
[23:52] <EpicReviews> Gnea: it's not doing harm, just learning english I guess
[23:53] <e1nh4nd3r> eboyjr: That can be any number of things.  You added your WAN IP to the list of allowed hosts for relay on your postfix server?
[23:53] <Gnea> EpicReviews: doesn't matter, if the bot isn't authorized to be here, it's here against the channel authority. is it in #ubuntu-bots too?
[23:53] <EpicReviews> !hi
[23:53] <EpicReviews> :)
[23:54] <barqs> Hey guys, I have an issue.
[23:54] <erUSUL> !ask
[23:54] <fccf> eboyjr: there is a #postfix channel ... you might get better help there
[23:54] <phoenixhouse> so does 2x 3GB swap  partitions, a 1GB /boot partition, and a 32GB / partition seem reasonable?
[23:54] <e1nh4nd3r> phoenixhouse: Perfectly reasonable.
[23:54] <e1nh4nd3r> :)
[23:55] <eboyjr> fccf: e1nh4nd3r: Okay. I will try in #postfix.
[23:55] <phoenixhouse> thanks!
[23:55] <e1nh4nd3r> phoenixhouse: Why not try 1x 6gb partition?
[23:55] <e1nh4nd3r> Bit simpler, no?
[23:56] <sunshinepants> is there a bug open for intermittent filesystem corruption on jaunty x64? see it with stock kernel & latest from mainline ppa
[23:56] <erUSUL> e1nh4nd3r: with two swap partitions at the same prio linux does raid 0 between them so performance is better
[23:56] <barqs> My laptop's cd drive broke, it currently has windows xp installed. I want to install ubuntu on it, however, since the cd drive doesn't work, I tried unetbootin to use a live usb, however the laptop doesn't work with usb. So now I need to install to the hard disk, so ubuntu uses the whole drive, but install from inside windows? is this possible?
[23:56] <WilliamC2> It seems that the support for my video card kinda sucks, I have to install a proprietary video driver with little options for me to edit.
[23:56] <WilliamC2> Are there better alternatives?
[23:56] <phoenixhouse> e1nh4nd3r: the reasons for that were argued to me earlier today...
[23:56] <phoenixhouse> meh
[23:57] <ShackJack> Hi all... as of late my system monitor (Jaunty desktop) is showing 100% CPU usage and load avg 2.5-3 for a 2002-era 2,4 P4. I don't see any programs or other users in the background causing this - any suggestions on steps to take to see what might be causing this (would anyone suspect a drive failure?)
[23:57] <EpicReviews> !ping
[23:57] <sebsebseb> ShackJack: avg  anti virus?
[23:57] <e1nh4nd3r> erUSUL: Ahhh, true.  Didn't think about RAID configs...
[23:57] <ShackJack> sebsebseb: No, I don't run it...
[23:58] <WaterRatj> sebsebseb: strange won't boot from usb :o
[23:58] <sebsebseb> WaterRatj: maybe someone else can help with this, or your USB no longer works
[23:58] <BlackViper2> barqs, on the bottom left side of the unetbootin window there is a choice of usb or hard drive, did you try the hard drive option
[23:58] <muellisoft> ShackJack: I'd run htop and sort by process state.
[23:58] <erUSUL> e1nh4nd3r: you do not need to do raid the kernel internally does stripping is transparent for the user... just define two swap partitions with same prio and done. no mdadm involved
[23:58] <WaterRatj> sebsebseb: could be :p
[23:58] <phoenixhouse> fyi: 34360 base-1000 magebytes == 32 binary (base 2^10) megabytes
[23:59] <barqs> BlackViper2: I was afraid to try that, as I wasn't sure if it would completely erase windows partitions and create only an Ubuntu partition. Do you know if this method works?
[23:59] <BlackViper2> barqs, i tried it many times when i was distro hopping
[23:59] <ShackJack> Muelli: Good suggestion - I am running top but don't see anything causing large CPU usage... but load is high...
