[00:00] <danilos> who do I ask about mirror issues?

[00:00] <enriqueaf> technot if you go to system-> preferences -> remote desktop
[00:00] <johnT> i think you can run 64 bit eclipse with 32 bit jvm

[00:00] <gdoteof> johnT, nope.
[00:00] <enriqueaf> and you enable it

[00:06] <bobinsky> s-up
[00:07] <Boondoklife> dekkong: The normally install sysklogd should be able to do that with some tweaking, but i know syslog-ng will
[00:08] <obiwan_> hi, i type strace pwd > file but file just has my home path, how can i save the strace output?
[00:08] <johnT> dekkong, are you asking 'where can I get a server to send the remote log?'
[00:09] <gdoteof> johnT, looks like it is going.  configuring right now ::crosses fingers::
[00:09] <garv> ive setup my raid in the bios, but it does not show inside the OS please help
[00:09] <szeck> johnT i have installed those packets
[00:09] <szeck> and now?
[00:09] <johnT> gdoteof, I am with you
[00:09] <DasEi>  danilos: you can use synaptic to find fastest mirror, as well-speeded ones are mostly mirrored fine, too
 i'm trying your link. thank you
[00:09] <Mike_lifeguard> My fast user switcher no longer starts on startup - how can I fix this?
[00:09] <dennygoot_> i think i found my problem, i think i need to install an artec backend into sane
[00:10] <johnT> szeck, still no dvb detected from me tv?
[00:10] <szeck> still, damn it
 how do i install the sounds
[00:10] <danilos> DasEi, I don't care if it's the fastest (this one is), if it's going to cause problems like I had today (i.e. basically made my system unusable; I've seen it before as well!): I can solve the problem myself, but new users will be stumped
[00:10] <szeck> you want to see the lsusb?
[00:11] <johnT> szeck, what model the dvb receiver is?
[00:11] <DasEi> danilos : which distro ?
[00:11] <danilos> DasEi, karmic
[00:11] <DasEi> !karmic
[00:11] <szeck> johnT Bus 001 Device 009: ID eb1a:e323 eMPIA Technology, Inc.
[00:12] <Vinceman> are there linux people who you can invite over for tea in your house and they'll fix everything?
[00:12] <Gate> Vinceman: yes. Cookies help.
[00:12] <johnT> lol vinceman where are you from?
[00:12] <Vinceman> the Netherlands
[00:12] <DasEi> danilos: more and more people came in here with that complain today, it's still an alpha
[00:12] <Gate> mgv1: Go to System->Preferences->Sound, the Sounds tab. Double click on the second column and select "custom"
[00:12] <obiwan_> please, how can i output a strace to a file? strace pwd >file just saves my home path in file
[00:12] <Gate> mgv1: I am looking to see if there are acutal themes you can install like you can window manager themes.
[00:13] <dekkong> johnT: I'm using Freenas and i would like to Receive information about ssh entry and so on.Freenas allows to send syslog details to a syslog server
 thanks, but where to extract them to?
[00:13] <Gate> your home directory somewhere
[00:13] <Gate> mgv1: the custom sounds are per-user, and you can make it use any sounds you want.
[00:14] <Gate> mgv1: the default sounds are in /usr/share/sounds, but I wouldn't muck with those
 i don't have the option of "custom"
[00:15] <Gate> mgv1: scroll down more, those top few are special
[00:15] <Gate> mgv1: look under the "Desktop" and "Alerts" section
[00:15] <danilos> DasEi, thanks for the pointer, but I don't really care what distro I am using because this is not distro-specific, I want to know who to talk to about administering mirrors; I'll try to figure out who to talk to, ta
 thank you, do i need to choose one by one?
[00:16] <Gate> mgv1: I think so, I haven't found a way to install a "theme" yet
[00:16] <johnT> szeck, can't solve yout issue. Try http://linuxtv.org/hg/
 now let's hear the sounds...
[00:17] <Boondoklife> dekkong: Might I suggest taking a look at the syslog config file /etc/default/syslogd
[00:17] <gdoteof> johnT, well.  end of my day.  it seems to have installed.. it is now insisting on a 32 bit firefox and flash.  trying to run Adobe_Flex_Builder_Linux/Adobe_Flex_builder.sh gives me nothing.  running the FlexSDKShellScript.sh gies me an outof memory error, but i am not out of memory
[00:17] <Cainus> hey all... any screen users in here?  Does anyone know why screen -ls might list a bunch of screens I'm attached to, but I can't actually switch to any of them?
[00:18] <johnT> gdoteof, so it is even worse now?
[00:18] <jrib> Cainus: umm, if you're attached to them, then just go to where you are attached
[00:18] <judson_> fuck
[00:18] <judson_> :O
[00:18] <gdoteof> johnT, thanks for all the help though.  this is quite a pain!  no i wouldn't say it's worse off.  it is farther along the process of not working :)
[00:18] <jrib> !language | judson_
[00:18] <Sedated> Cainus... are any of them dead?  try screen -wipe to get rid of old invalid ones?
[00:18] <Cainus> jrib: it says attached for 5, but I can't switch to any
[00:18] <gdoteof> johnT, before it wouldn't install.  now it is installed and won't run
[00:18] <judson_> ok
[00:18] <jrib> Cainus: what do you mean by "switch"?
[00:19] <Cainus> ctrl-a n to switch to the next
[00:19] <johnT> gdoteof, I am sure someone else can solve your issue
[00:19] <Cainus> screen -wipe doesn't change the list
[00:19] <garv> need some help with my raid and ubuntu, its setup in the bios but ubuntu isnt seeing it.. ideas?
[00:19] <justin__> heyy
[00:19] <Sedated> Cainus... ctrl-a n switches windows within a scren, it doesn't switch screens
[00:19] <Gate> mgv1: there are a few packages you can get, for instance ubuntustudio-sounds gives you the Ubuntu Studio sounds option in that themes dropbox
[00:19] <jrib> Cainus: that switches windows inside screen, no?  That doesn't change the screen instance
[00:20] <Mike_lifeguard> My fast user switcher no longer starts on startup - what is the command for that so I can restart it?
[00:20] <justin__> hows everyone doing?
[00:20] <Cainus> Ah.. how do I change the screen instance then?
[00:20] <Cainus> is that my problem?
[00:20] <Gate> mgv1: you can install that in synaptic
[00:20] <Boondoklife> Cainus: tried screen -R yet?
[00:20] <dekkong> Boondoklife: what does the -r stand for in SYSLOGD="-r" ?
[00:20] <Boondoklife> dekkong: it enables the udp listening
[00:21] <dekkong> Boondoklife: okey thx so if I would like to get log entries from 192.168.1.65 howdo enter that?
[00:21] <Boondoklife> Cainus: if you are in a screen press ctrl+a then shift+"
[00:21] <Cainus> Boon: you mean screen -r ?  it lists a bunch of attached screens and says there is no screen to be resumed
[00:21] <jrib> Cainus: you need to specify the one you want to attach to
[00:21] <jrib> Cainus: screen -d -r NAME_OF_SCREEN_INSTANCE
[00:21] <Boondoklife> Cainus: no -R is like a more powerfull -r if i remember right
[00:22] <__lupo__> who is using ubuntu 9.10 and had a problem with update-manager ??
[00:22] <Boondoklife> Cainus: it will force disconnect the screen if it is currently connected
[00:22] <Sedated> Cainus... try screen -r <pid>.<name>
[00:22] <Cainus> here's what I see: http://pastebin.com/m36d0c3a7
[00:22] <Boondoklife> Cainus: but like mentioned are you in screen trying to do that?
[00:22] <zebastian> !log
[00:22] <jrib> Cainus: screen -d -r 5650.pts-2.ubuntu   etc...
[00:23] <Sedated> Cainus... resume only works for detached screens.  do like jrib just said.
[00:23] <Cainus> ctrl-a + " gives me a list of, but there's only one thing in it
[00:23] <Boondoklife> Cainus: yea they are attached so I would just exit out as much as you can the start fresh with a screen -R
[00:23] <bastid_raZor> Cainus: if you have more than one screen you need to specify which screen you want to get to.
[00:23] <Boondoklife> Cainus: the screen -R will detach it and allow you to connect
[00:23] <Cainus> how do I specify what screen I want then?
[00:23] <Sedated> Cainus .. ^A + " is just like ^A n, it only switches windiws within a screen, it doesn't switch screen sessions
[00:24] <johnT> Mike_lifeguard, are you talking about the top-right corner gnome applet?
[00:24] <brandon_> Guys i need a code that will allow the program im making in gambas see the motherboard and cpu serial number
[00:24] <bastid_raZor> Cainus: do what jrib said
[00:24] <Mike_lifeguard> johnT: yes
[00:24] <jrib> Boondoklife: I don't believe -R detaches
[00:24] <Sedated> Cainus... like jrib stated,  <jrib> Cainus: screen -d -r NAME_OF_SCREEN_INSTANCE
[00:24] <bastid_raZor> Boondoklife: -d detaches
[00:24] <Boondoklife> jrib: your right just looked
[00:24] <Boondoklife> -R will create a new one if it cant attach
[00:24] <johnT> Mike_lifeguard, right click in a empty area of the top panel, then 'add to panel'
[00:24] <Cainus> Sedated: where NAME_OF_SCREEN_INSTANCE is what?
[00:24] <Cainus> how do I see tyhe availabel names
[00:25] <Cainus> ?
[00:25] <johnT> Mike_lifeguard, select 'user switcher'
[00:25] <jrib> Cainus: the first column in the output you pasted
[00:25] <Cainus> screen -R appears to do nothing
[00:25] <Sedated> Cainus... just like you posted in pastebin
[00:25] <Sedated> Cainus... the "5650.pts-2.ubuntu" parts
[00:25] <Mike_lifeguard> johnT: oddly, I get only "help" and "about" when right-clicking on the panel O-o
[00:25] <Mike_lifeguard> johnT: for both
[00:25] <johnT> Mike_lifeguard, make sure it is an empty area
[00:26] <Mike_lifeguard> johnT: yeah, it definitely is... how can I restart the panels?
[00:26] <Sedated> Cainus... so "screen -d -r 5650.pts-2.ubuntu" would detach scren from whoever is using it and attached it to your terminal session, but you have to do it from a regular shell, not a screen session
[00:26] <bastid_raZor> !panels | Mike_lifeguard
[00:26] <Cainus> Sedated: how do I know if I'm in a screen session?  how do I get out?
[00:26] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: gnome-panel & in a terminal would restart them.
[00:26] <zaccour> anyone use gyachi?
[00:27] <Boondoklife> Cainus: exit
[00:27] <Sedated> Cainus... keep "exit"ing until you get a message saying something like "[screen terminated]"
[00:28] <Boondoklife> dekkong: if you set that option it should collect logs that are sent to it, but you may need to tweak the settings in /etc/syslog.conf to route them to where you want
[00:29] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: mikelifeguard@mikelifeguard-laptop:~$ Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. :)
[00:29] <Mike_lifeguard> let's try the other one
[00:29] <Cainus> there's really no reason for me to run more than one screen is there?
[00:30] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: wait, won't that reset them to defaults? That's not what I want - I just want to restart them
[00:30] <Cainus> I should be fine with just multiple windows in one screen, right?
[00:30] <Sedated> Cainus ... the point is screen is so you don't have to run it more than once
[00:30] <Boondoklife> Cainus: sure there is, but depends on what your doing
[00:30] <laptop> тут американцы?)
[00:30] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel &   ..that will kill it then restart it
[00:30] <Cainus> Boon: in most cases, one screen should be fine though, no?
[00:31] <Boondoklife> Cainus: for example i used to run a headless torrent box, and ssh was my means of access. I would load a torrent on each screen to be able to quickly connect and see them.
[00:31] <Boondoklife> Cainus: with a gui it is pointless
[00:31] <Cainus> don't you just need one screen with many windows for that?
[00:31] <bobbob1016> I have a headphone jack on my PC, when I play audio, it plays through headphones, even though I have speakers hooked up.  Is there a way I select where the sound goes through software?
[00:31] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: yeah, figured that out... & fast user switcher is still gone
[00:31] <Boondoklife> Cainus: with a gui i can only see needing that to launch an app or script and leave it in the background and logout
[00:32] <MenZa> !ru | laptop
[00:32] <Cainus> hmmm I'm getting confused... I'm nowhere near a gui
[00:32] <Boondoklife> Cainus: that way you could come back later screen back in and be back where you left off.
[00:32] <Cainus> right...that's how I use it
[00:32] <Boondoklife> lol ill pm ya we can talk about it there
[00:32] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: in the 'add to panel' option of right clicking the panel it is listed as User Switcher.
[00:33] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: except I don't have that option when I right-click the panel :)
[00:33] <Mike_lifeguard> there is no add to panel option
[00:33] <Mike_lifeguard> for either panel
[00:33] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: you're using gnome - Ubuntu?
[00:33] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: yes and yes
[00:34] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: how did you accomplish that?
[00:34] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: dunno - when I signed in today it said 'fast user switcher couldn't be started, do you want to try again?' and I said yes, but it still failed to appear
[00:34] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: when you right click what is listed?
[00:34] <Mike_lifeguard> "Help" and "About panels"
[00:34] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: ahh.. check ~/.xsession-errors
[00:35] <zebastian> help, cant find the logs for this channel i'm here http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/2009/09/15/
[00:35] <nekralixir> The panels and status bars disappeared... tried restarting gnome-panel, reinstalling gnome-panel ... can't even restart xserver... any clues?
[00:35] <jrib> !logs | zebastian
[00:37] <sebsebseb> zebastian: wrong logs and hi again
[00:37] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: lots of goodies in there! :D any clue what the applet is called so I can grep for it?
[00:37] <zebastian> sebsebseb: do you use lxde?
[00:37] <sebsebseb> zebastian: I have tried it in  some other distro when I virtual machined it
[00:37] <sebsebseb> zebastian: I use Gnome :)
[00:38] <lorenzo> hi, is backing up just the home folder enough to save my vital data? In what cases should I backup the entire system? I have read a few guides but I am not sure I understood that. thanks
[00:38] <clarkkent12880> hey what do i do or where can i learn to make a shortcut to a folder on my system? like right clicking in windows to make a shortcut . I want to make a way where i click once and it opens up a file folder.
[00:38] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: not right off, no.
[00:38] <zebastian> sebsebseb: gnome's too heavy
[00:38] <sebsebseb> lorenzo: Your data should only be in your Home folder
[00:38] <sebsebseb> zebastian: Why do you think that?
[00:38] <Barnabas> register nogusta barnabasdk@gmail.com
[00:38] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: you're on which version of Ubuntu?
[00:38] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: jaunty

[00:39] <sebsebseb> !register |  Barnabas
[00:39] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: somewhere near the top should have errors on why things didn't start. that could be a good starting point for why it crashed.
[00:39] <Beefcaked> hi guys.. im using an atheros wifi card.. when I enabled the proprietary madwifi driver in ubuntu.. it suddenly stopped working the next reboot. now i cant even disable it anymore because it doesnt show up, is there a way to revert?
[00:39] <johnT> lorenzo, what do you mean for 'vital' data?
[00:40] <lorenzo> sebsebseb, so if, say, at some point in the future I mess up my installation and I need to do a fresh install, restoring my old home folder will give me back the old install (appearance, installed programs, etc)? thanks
[00:40] <innomen> !bin
[00:40] <sebsebseb> lorenzo: most of  the stuff yep
[00:40] <w30> my repository can't be updated because the public key is not available. How do I fix that?
[00:40] <sebsebseb> lorenzo: also it's good to have home on a seperate partition, because of that kind of reason
[00:40] <innomen> Any one know how to mount a bin file?
[00:40] <sebsebseb> lorenzo: you wil however have to re install programs on a fresh install
[00:41] <johnT> lorenzo, i am working on your issue in IM
[00:41] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: somehow the log out/shut down/etc got appended to the system menu O.o
[00:41] <clarkkent12880> ok found it shift + cntrl and drag the icon where you want it to go
[00:41] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: I don't see anything obvious here... lots of errors about deprecated/unsupported stuff in my skin/theme, but nothing serious-looking
[00:42] <sebsebseb> zebastian: lxde,  xfce and there are otehrs
[00:42] <sebsebseb> others
[00:42] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: with your current theme did the user-switcher work previously?
[00:42] <Mike_lifeguard> yes
[00:42] <zebastian> sebsebseb: i am going through the logs trying to figure out a script that ActionParsnip helped me with
[00:43] <bastid_raZor> Mike_lifeguard: have you tried restarting X to see if that helps?
[00:43] <zebastian> i am on lxde now and i love it but i want to disable compiz on it
[00:43] <sebsebseb> zebastian: when you have the  correct day, you can search for him in Firefox
[00:43] <Mike_lifeguard> bastid_raZor: I will shortly, trying one thing first
[00:43] <zebastian> it makes the image jump during movies
[00:43] <brandon_> Guys i need a code that will allow the program im making in gambas see the motherboard and cpu serial number
[00:44] <sebsebseb> zebastian: and find the code
[00:44] <sebsebseb> zebastian: probably
[00:44] <dennygoot> guys i am back to square one. i made the authorization changes, but they last for one session. how do i make sane work without being root

[00:52] <Barnabas> try to completely remove xsane in synaptic and then install it again using the same tool - that nukes all config for the pkg
[00:53] <dennygoot> thanx ill try that
[00:53] <mneptok> TrentonAdams: if you think it's a packaging issue, best to file a bug on Launchpad
[00:53]  * seidos is not an ubuntu developer
[00:53] <dennygoot> brb
[00:53] <TrentonAdams> dennygoot: okay.
[00:53] <mneptok> dennygoot: ls -Rla ~/ | grep root
[00:53] <NewfierRich> hey all, I am wondering can anyone recommend  a program to burn off an avi to dvd. fyi what i want to do is legit
[00:55] <biglinux> oi
[00:55] <seidos> vey
[00:56] <Barnabas> NewfierRich: I usually use the preinstalled brasero disc burning util
[00:56] <Barnabas> Applications->Sound & Video->Brasero Disk Burning
[00:56] <phix> NewfierRich: you want to convert it to DVD Format as well? or just pop the file on a DVD?
[00:57] <dennygoot> ok i did that one command, and i got this drwxr-xr-x  3 root  root   4096 2009-09-15 12:46 ..
[00:57] <NewfierRich> Phix: Dvd format
[00:57] <mneptok> dennygoot: so the problem is not that some XSane variable files are owned by root
[00:57] <dennygoot> a rsinstall of xsane and it's components did not fix the permissions deal..
[00:57] <mneptok> dennygoot: "which xsane" (no quotes)
[00:57] <phix> NewfierRich: hmmm, you will need to convert it first, unless you are going to play it on a DVD Player that supports avi / divx / xvid
[00:57] <dennygoot> what do you mean?
[00:58] <dennygoot> through synaptic if that helps
[00:58] <mneptok> dennygoot: type it in a terminal
[00:58] <thiagocrepaldi> any auth-client-config magician around ? i followed openldap server tutorial on ubuntu server 9.04 guide and it do not authenticate pam against ldap =/
[00:58] <mneptok> dennygoot: is this Jaunty (9.04 or....)
[00:58] <zebastian> sebsebseb: i have an external hard drive, when mounted it looks like this /dev/sdb1 /media/disk and it has a folder called mybackup, if i cp -frv /home/username/* /media/disk/mybackup/ a new back up will it overwrite the new stuff onto the old folder or create a second mybackup folder?
[00:58] <NewfierRich> phix: any suggestions?
[00:58] <dennygoot> /usr/bin/xsane
[00:58] <phix> NewfierRich: answer the question first :)
[00:58] <mneptok> zebastian: you want rsync
[00:58] <dennygoot> yep 9.04
[00:58] <sebsebseb> zebastian: don't know, also your external hard disk,  should just mount in Ubuntu, without needing to do that other stuff
[00:59] <phix> NewfierRich: you want to play the DVD on a DVD player that supports AVI / DIVX / XVID or not?
[00:59] <sebsebseb> zebastian: well maybe password permissions on the drive, but other then that, what I just said that
[00:59] <NewfierRich> phix: dvd player does not support avi/divx/xvid
[00:59] <zebastian> sebsebseb: it does, but regardless of that, let's say it mounts
[00:59] <zebastian> once mounted if i do the copy command
[00:59] <mneptok> zebastian: you want rsync, not cp
[00:59] <zebastian> will it over write?
[00:59] <zebastian> mneptok: what's rsync?
[01:00] <phix> NewfierRich: ok, well you need to convert it then :) I don't think the default Ubuntu DVD burning application will do this
[01:00] <mneptok> zebastian: the tool you want ;)
[01:00] <dennygoot> should i maybe chown or chmod the /usr/bin/xsane folder or a file?
[01:00] <mneptok> zebastian: do you want it to make an exact copy, removing files that no longer exist in the source dir?
[01:00] <guest1> when i download from internet over wireless and the speeds get up to 2 MB my internet dies... someone had the same problem and now how to fix it?
[01:00] <Beefcaked> powertop reports an average of 100 wakeups per second, would it help if i disable bluetooth in my laptop to lower down some more?
[01:00] <mneptok> dennygoot: ls -a /usr/bin/xsane
[01:00] <phix> NewfierRich: You should confer with apt-cache search or with google
[01:01] <Barnabas> according to the help page in Brasero it can burn avis to dvd, so I think it has internal conversion
[01:01] <i00nsu> hi ppl, what mirrors should i use to get kde3.5.10 at ubuntu server?
[01:01] <dennygoot> ok now it's a pretty green
[01:01] <phix> rsync is great! it makes my backups to an external drive happen in a few seconds (if the drive has data on it from a previous backup)
[01:01] <Barnabas> but check it out on the home page before you nuke an image
[01:01] <mneptok> dennygoot: what are the permissions?
[01:01] <zebastian> mneptok, what i want to be able to do is backup everyday, so that everytime i backup it is the same folder plusminus whatever's new
[01:01] <IguessNot> hello everyone
[01:01] <phix> Barnabas: nice, I wasn't aware of that
[01:01] <sebsebseb> i00nsu: KDE 3.5.10 in Ubuntu Server hmm
[01:01] <phix> NewfierRich: ok looks like you are in luck :)
[01:01] <dennygoot> it didnt say, it just printed /usr/bin/xsane in green
[01:01] <mneptok> zebastian: rsync -avh --delete --stats /home/$USERNAME /media/mybackup/
[01:02] <phix> NewfierRich: you should tias (Try It And See!)
[01:02] <mneptok> errr
[01:02] <i00nsu> sebsebseb: what?
[01:02] <mneptok> zebastian: rsync -avh --delete --stats /home/$USERNAME/ /media/mybackup/
[01:02] <IguessNot> can someone help me with installing a new theme?
[01:02] <i00nsu> is impossible?
[01:02] <sebsebseb> i00nsu: there's a ppa that can be added for  KDE 3.5.10
[01:02] <Barnabas> phix: it is cool - but probably also uses a lot of ressource
[01:02] <sebsebseb> i00nsu: in a desktop version and I guess the server to, but   the server doesn't tend to run a GUI
[01:02] <i00nsu> where to find sebsebseb ?
[01:02] <zebastian> mneptok: what will that do specifically, if you could explain it to me to make a note for the future
[01:02] <Barnabas> on a slow pc probably too much
[01:02] <obiwan_> please, how can i output a strace to a file? strace pwd >file just saves my home path in file
[01:02] <sebsebseb> i00nsu: also sadly KDE 3 is on the verge of dieing
[01:02] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: use ls -l
[01:03] <sebsebseb> !kde3 |  i00nsu
[01:03] <phix> Barnabas: yeah, possibably, unless it is piped directly to burner :)
[01:03] <dennygoot> ls -l and then /usr/bin/xsane ?
[01:03] <sebsebseb> i00nsu: parason whatever it was,   the same as the  KDE  3 remix CD,  I think
[01:03] <mneptok> zebastian: it will make an exact copy of the $USERNAME home directory in /media/mybackup, removing any files that have disappeared and adding any that have been added or changed
[01:03] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: ls -l /usr/bin/xsane
[01:03] <dennygoot> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 666600 2009-01-27 03:25 /usr/bin/xsane
[01:03] <atticus> anyone feel like helping me install flash? i've been trying for hours now with no results
[01:04] <mneptok> dennygoot: OK, so everyone has the ability to launch XSane
[01:04] <zebastian> mneptok, that includes all of /usr right?
[01:04] <mneptok> zebastian: no, only /home/$USERNAME
[01:04] <sebsebseb> i00nsu: you can Google it
[01:04] <dennygoot> atticus download the .deb for ubuntu from the adobe sight and then afterwards run it... that might help, but i am a noob
[01:04] <mneptok> atticus: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[01:04] <atticus> dennygoot, unfortunately have tried that already with no result
[01:04] <Curtis_B> what's the command to update apt-get
[01:04] <Curtis_B> just sudo apt-get update
[01:05] <mneptok> Curtis_B: correct
[01:05] <Curtis_B> to update the pacakge list
[01:05] <mneptok> Curtis_B: that doesn;t upgrade anything, though
[01:05] <dennygoot> i think the error either lies in sane itself, or some file, becuase it does say invalid argument after all the hoopla of running xsane
[01:05] <zebastian> mneptok: what's the difference?
[01:05] <mneptok> dennygoot: what happens if you just type "xsane" on the command line?
[01:05] <phix> dennygoot: you are a noob at English as well :)
[01:05] <Curtis_B> which is precisely what i don't want to do to our production server heheh
[01:05] <mneptok> zebastian: /usr is not /home/$USERNAME
[01:06] <mneptok> zebastian: look at your filesystem ;)
[01:06] <mneptok> Curtis_B: that just fetches a new list of packages
[01:06] <dennygoot> error: failed to open device artec_eplus48u:libusb:002:002 (on last boot it was 002:004
[01:06] <dennygoot> amd then invalid argumant right after all that
[01:06] <mneptok> dennygoot: but it works as root?
[01:07] <dennygoot> yep, if i gksu xsane, it warns me of danger, but then i can and have scanned to my delight
[01:07] <mako-dono> jaunty livecd is not booting/installing on a box I have here.  but slackware installs/runs flawlessly.   anyone here can suggest a way to get it to work?
[01:07] <mneptok> dennygoot: sounds like the entry in /dev for the scanner is owned by root
[01:07] <szeck_> Hei guys i have a driver problem with my dvb device, anyone can help?? please?
[01:07] <dennygoot> so i thought this was a permissions error... but.

[01:08] <dennygoot> a little, i like lxde knoppix
[01:09] <szeck_> Hei guys i have a driver problem with my dvb device, anyone can help?? please?
[01:09]  * prince_jammys wonders if one needs to be a member of a group to use the scanner
[01:09] <dennygoot> ok let me ask this, what dangers are there for using xsane as root?
[01:09] <mako-sama> anyone knows why ubuntu's livecd hangs up as soon as it starts X?
[01:10] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: first check the forums/google. You're not the only one who's stumbled into this.
[01:10] <tim167> hi, i installed ubuntu Jaunty on a brand new computer, guess what, can't connect to internet, nework card seems dead
[01:10] <Gate> tim167: wireless or hardwire?
[01:10] <zopiac> anyone know how to install json-glib-0.7.6?
[01:10] <dennygoot> yeah, well i did first checl about 3 thousand articles, non of which solved my problem. i dont come here unless it's my last resort. but thanx for the heads up on that.
[01:10] <tim167> Gate:  wired
[01:11] <Gate> rare, but can happen
[01:11] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: make yourself a member of the 'scanner' group.
[01:11] <akn_>  hey everyone. im trying to install a theme from gnome-look but everytime i try it says that it is not a vaild theme format. help please?
[01:11] <dennygoot> ok how
[01:11] <tim167> Gate:  the blinky leds on the network card connector don't flash either
[01:11] <Gate> tim167: try going to System->Administration->Hardware drivers
[01:11] <szeck_> Hei guys i have a driver problem with my dvb device, anyone can help?? please?
[01:11] <tim167> Gate that says 'no restricted drivers in use'
[01:11] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: sudo adduser YourUserName scanner
[01:11] <mako-sama> is there a way to boot jaunty's installer with a different kernel? maybe that'll solve the problem
[01:12] <dennygoot> danke ill try that
[01:12] <Gate> tim167: that is usually a sign of a) a cable that is not connected firmly, b) a bad cable, c) a bad switch or d) a bad network card
[01:12] <tim167> Gate on another computer (read:windows)  it works
[01:12] <dennygoot> adduser: The group `scanner' does not exist.
[01:12] <enav> hello
[01:12] <enav> i got a problem
[01:13] <Gate> ok tim167, would you please open a console and paste in this command?  lspci | grep -i 'ethernet'
[01:13] <enav> im using twin view  and playing openarena
[01:13] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: mmm. I got that from a launchpad page.
[01:13] <dennygoot> really?
[01:13] <bastid_raZor> dennygoot: saned  possibly?
[01:13] <enav> but open arena is displayen in both displays
[01:13] <dennygoot> can you give me the url
[01:13]  * beetee2 waves
[01:13] <tim167> Gate aah sorry, i was just informed that the cable is actually broken! sorry! i''ll check it here first, thanks for responding :)
[01:13] <dennygoot> whats saned
[01:13] <Gate> OK
[01:13] <beetee2> more people in here than I anticipated
[01:13] <beetee2> =)
[01:13] <szeck_> Hei guys i have a driver problem with my dvb device, anyone can help?? please?
[01:13] <dennygoot> i am at best a grade a noob when it comes to linux
[01:14] <bastid_raZor> dennygoot: a group
[01:14] <Gate> tim167: that command *should* tell you what card you have, which you can then google to see if there are support problems
[01:14] <vfontanela> Hello, I've got a really noob question. I dont know how to make terminal auto complete the name of the files when they have spaces in it. And it has been a pain in the ass..
[01:14] <Gate> I have to disconnect in a minute, but Good Sailing
[01:14] <enav> hello can some 1 help me?
[01:14] <dennygoot> ok i am added to saned
[01:14] <dennygoot> still have the same problem
[01:15] <tim167> Gate: in fact lspci | grep -i 'ethernet' returns nothing
[01:15] <Gate> hi enav, just state your question/problem. Someone should be able to help, or direct you somewhere useful
[01:15] <Gate> tim167: dang
[01:15] <obiwan_> please, how can i output a strace to a file? strace pwd >file just saves my home path in file
[01:15] <prince_jammys> dennygoot:  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+question/58817  (from googling 'xsane permissions')
[01:15] <sebsebseb> Gate: use tab
[01:15] <sebsebseb> !tab |  Gate
[01:15] <tim167> Gate: i'm suspicious, even with the cable broken, the leds on the input should blink
[01:15] <vfontanela> How to make terminal auto complete the name of the files (TAB) when they have spaces in it?
[01:16] <Gate> sebsebseb: who cares? I highlighted him just fine.
[01:16] <alankila> obiwan_: probably 2> file, or the -o output option
[01:16] <vfontanela> tab not working with files or folders with spaces
[01:16] <obiwan_> vfontanela, , try typing space and then tab again
[01:16] <sebsebseb> vfontanela: type enough of the path and hit tab and it will autocomplete
[01:16] <szeck_> Hei guys i have a driver problem with my dvb device, anyone can help?? please?
[01:16] <vfontanela> Not working
[01:16] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: ah, it was 'saned'. but still the problem persists?
[01:16] <Gate> tim167: not neccecarily, those lights usually only blink when they sense some data moving
[01:16] <sebsebseb> Gate: oh I see messaged wrong one again hmm
[01:16] <Barnabas> vfontanela, use ""
[01:16] <vfontanela> obiwan_, not working
[01:16] <Gate> :) OK sebsebseb
[01:16] <Barnabas> ls "foo<tab>"
[01:17] <sebsebseb> vfontanela: when I messaged Gate before I meant to message you
[01:17] <tim167> Gate: hmm, ok anyway, i'll fix the cable first, then test and see what happens...
[01:17] <beetee2> anyone know much about grub? i'm trying to get rid of the boot loader everytime I restart...
[01:17] <Gate> OK
[01:17] <Gate> GL
[01:17] <obiwan_> alankila, , 2> will simply redirect error won't it?
[01:17] <sebsebseb> !tab |  vfontanela

[01:17] <vfontanela> Barnabas, sorry? ""
[01:17] <obiwan_> i want to output all strace of pwd to a file
[01:17] <beetee2> I was dual booting ubuntu and kubuntu, but I repartitioned the hard drives, and now only have an ubuntu installation, i'd like it to auto-boot into ubuntu on restart
[01:17] <mneptok> Gate: in my case, your grep for "ethernet" would have returned nothing.
[01:17] <dennygoot> yes
[01:18] <Gate> mneptok: grep -i ignores case
[01:18] <alankila> obiwan_: as it happens the strace output is on the file handle 2. If you feel this sucks, just use the -o option.
[01:18] <vfontanela> I use it TAB, guys, but it is not working with files with spaces.
[01:18] <sebsebseb> beetee2: why did you dual boot Kubuntu?   Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, as a result you can install it into your Ubuntu install, and then select it from your log in screen
[01:18] <mneptok> Gate: oh, missed the modifier. sorry.
[01:18] <Gate> :) alles klar
[01:18] <mneptok> sehr toll
[01:18] <zebastian> sebsebseb: can you help me do this http://nicotine-plus.sourceforge.net/NicotinePlusGuide/Installation/NicotineOnAnyDistro.htm ?
[01:18] <obiwan_> ahhh alankila didn't know it uses 2, i'll try brb :)
[01:18] <beetee2> i wanted to install both simultaneously, just to see which desktop interface I preferred
[01:18] <dennygoot> i am trying to follow some directions of a webpage, but so far no go. and just so oyu know, i never even thought of using gksu with xsane untill after working on my uncle's machine with 9.04. he has the same problem
[01:19] <sebsebseb> zebastian: I don't even know what Nicotine is
[01:19] <obiwan_> great alankila , that did it haha ;)
[01:19] <dennygoot> and i ran xsane the first time -gksu, just the way it was in menu
[01:19] <sebsebseb> beetee2: I see well  using a virtual machine for that, would have been much better
[01:19] <beetee2> yeah agreed
[01:19] <beetee2> hindsight is 20/20
[01:19] <beetee2> =)
[01:19] <zebastian> it's a p2p program, but the version off the repos on hardy is too old
[01:19] <zebastian> sebsebseb:
[01:19] <sebsebseb> zebastian: oh your on Hardy now?
[01:20] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: there's a page in the ubuntu forums that recommends making the device world-writable. That's a lame solution, in my opinion. I thought they had something set up with group membership.
[01:20] <sebsebseb> zebastian: I thought you put 9.04 on, and  shane helped you get the driver for ATI working or something?
[01:20] <vfontanela> Ohhh, I got the answer!
[01:20] <vfontanela> like if the folder is names La La La
[01:20] <vfontanela> I have to make La\ La\ La
[01:20] <sebsebseb> zebastian: Why do you want a P2P program anyway?
[01:20] <zebastian> sebsebseb: yeah, i told you, it worked way better than jaunty, for example any time installing jaunty on this computer i had to tweak around hacking to get sound and to get my cellphone to connect to the laptop on hardy it just did and the osund was there
[01:20] <vfontanela> thank you
[01:21] <prince_jammys> vfontanela: you can also quote it: 'La La La'
[01:21] <vfontanela> exit
[01:21] <zebastian> plus the driver worked better for the chipset
[01:21] <vfontanela> prince_jammys, It didnt work here
[01:21] <dennygoot> could be according to a page i am reading, i myself am owned by root, a strange side effect of ubuntu... but i dont know what that means
[01:21] <vfontanela> prince_jammys, I dont know why
[01:21] <prince_jammys> vfontanela: then it's not 'La La La'
[01:21] <sebsebseb> zebastian: if you told me before, I missed it
[01:21] <zebastian> sebsebseb: well, i want to help my friend stef spread his files over the web, he's got a website with over 1400 podcasts and he pays a lot of bandwidth from donators only as he does it full time so i want ot help sharing his files on there
[01:22] <vfontanela> Ok, thanks for your help, apreciated!
[01:22] <sebsebseb> zebastian: ,but yes that's what I thought 8.04 would be better for your ATI card,   so  turns out I was right all along,  so :) and :D
[01:23] <sebsebseb> !p2p >  zebastian
[01:23] <dennygoot> sadly that webpage the prince gave me did nothing for me. i dont undertsand why i can use my scanner as root, but not otherwise
[01:24] <zebastian> sebsebseb: sebsebseb can you check this out please it's really short http://nicotine-plus.sourceforge.net/NicotinePlusGuide/Installation/NicotineOnAnyDistro.htm
[01:24] <beetee2> soo... does anyone boot without making the boot loader appear?
[01:24] <dennygoot> after all i have done, maybe i should log out or reboot..?? maybe that will allow my changes to have effect?
[01:24] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: if you search you'll find more, such as; http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-166944.html (which is the world-writable solution)
[01:24] <zebastian> i am not used to installing anything this way and i want to be able to
[01:24] <sebsebseb> zebastian: well don't  upload files unless  you have the rights for them yourself, or permission from the owner
[01:24] <zebastian> sebsebseb: i have permission
[01:24] <zebastian> theyre free to download
[01:24] <zebastian> from www.freedomainradio.com
[01:24] <FloodBot2> zebastian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:25] <dennygoot> ohh i have found a ton of pages. simply google-ing "xsane only works as root" gets you a lot of stuff, but none of it works
[01:25] <altf2o> for those who build kernels by hand, all i have is 'mkinitramfs' not 'mkinitrd' is it just not being used anymore?
[01:25] <zebastian> sebsebseb: i am on the terminal and have just downloaded those files to my desktop i cd to desktop
[01:25] <dennygoot> actually i did everything on the page you gave me prince, but thanx
[01:26] <bro> zebastian, what's the problem?
[01:26] <dennygoot> hmm i got me an idea, brb
[01:26] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: is it a parallel port scanner?
[01:26] <zebastian> bro, http://pastebin.com/m3414b2cb
[01:27] <sebsebseb> zebastian: ok went on the page
[01:27] <sebsebseb> zebastian: now before you start  compileing quite a few things for  Hardy, there's something you should know
[01:27] <IdleOne> zebastian: replace the X.X.X with the actual version numbers
[01:27] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: if so, help.ubuntu.com recommends adding yourself to the 'scanner' group, like that other page. Which I guess in your case involves creating the scanner group.
[01:28] <sebsebseb> zebastian: since Hardy  is the April  2008  most of the packages in it are from around that time,  and there won't be later stuff in the repo, unless it's a security update
[01:28] <bro> zebastian, just right click the archives and extract them. i rarely use terminal for extracting archives
[01:28] <sebsebseb> zebastian: April 2008 release above
[01:28] <sebsebseb> zebastian: however  you don't nessariley have to compile loads of programs, because there may be a ppa available
[01:29] <IdleOne> zebastian: chances are what you want is already in the repository.
[01:29] <sebsebseb> zebastian: 1.  get  the version you want from the repo.   2.  if not there  try finding a ppa for it.   3.  no luck  compile from source  or whatever
[01:29] <sebsebseb> IdleOne: it is, but an older version, he wants a later version
[01:30] <IdleOne> sebsebseb: I see
[01:30] <dennygoot> actually, i think i might have found my problem, dont know yet. the invalid argument part of the error was throwing me off, so i googled xsane only works as root artec, and then in quotes did the argument bit, and that brought out an article i havent found yet, following the steps now
[01:30] <rebel_kid> stupid question, but i forgot the command to reconfigure x for a different graphics driver (without having to modify the config manually), what package do i need to run dpkg-reconfigure on? (ubuntu 8.04)
[01:30] <zebastian> sebsebseb: how do i check for the available versions of an app fromt he terminal?
[01:31] <prince_jammys> dennygoot: indeed, that seems like a common topic.
[01:31] <sebsebseb> !info nictone
[01:31] <sebsebseb> zebastian: oh yeah nevermind anyway, since that's for 9.04 not  8.04 what I just tried to do
[01:31] <zebastian> sebsebseb:  but on the terminal there's a way of checking for that right?
[01:32] <IdleOne> zebastian: also important to remember is that when you have a long file name to type you can use the tab key to complete it. in this case cd Desktop then tar jxvf nico(tab) hit the tab key to complete
[01:32] <Xcerca> in an .sh script what would be the same command and pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace ?
[01:32] <prince_jammys> rebel_kid: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  perhaps is what you're referring to.
[01:32] <bro> zebastian, i'm using soulseek in wine, it's much better in my opinion, and it runs smoothly
[01:32] <sebsebseb> zebastian: I guess so, but I am not sure what the command is,  you can use synaptic to find out what version is in the repo though
[01:32] <dennygoot> hmm, part of the page lists this: but the conf file listed these as
[01:32] <dennygoot> usb 0x05d8 0x4003, but i dont know where the conf file they are talking about is, anyone got any ideas?
[01:33] <IdleOne> zebastian: apt-cache policy nicotine will show you available version and if it is already installed
[01:33] <prince_jammys> apt-cache show should do it
[01:33] <IdleOne> apt-cache show  nicotine will also show you info
[01:33] <zebastian> IdleOne: ok it seems like it's not available through the repos
[01:34] <sebsebseb> zebastian: there might be a ppa for it, even if it's not in the repo
[01:34] <guest1> when i download from internet over wireless and the speeds get up to 2 MB my internet dies... someone had the same problem and now how to fix it?
[01:34] <IdleOne> zebastian: it is in universe repository you might need to enable that from System > Administration > Software Sources
[01:35] <zebastian> IdleOne: not the 1.2.12 version
[01:35] <xiong> i'm getting my perl lib in order with cpan and it seems that many, many modules are not up to date -- not the ones i've installed recently but the ones included in the basic ubuntu install -- why is this? why doesn't package manager catch these?
[01:35] <alankila> guest1: have that problem, but don't know the solution
[01:35] <zebastian> i found this http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com/msg12604.html
[01:35] <alankila> I use network manager to reconnect to the access point as workaround
[01:36] <rebel_kid> how can i change the graphics driver in ubuntu 9.10 without modifying xserver config manually
[01:36] <guest1> alankila: i found this page on the net but it dont present a solution as far as i can see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502329
[01:36] <zebastian> IdleOne: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nicotine
[01:36] <IdleOne> yes but that is for karmic.
[01:37] <guest1> alankila: network manager? does it work right away or do u have to wait a bit?
[01:37] <IdleOne> zebastian: the ppa for hardy is 1.2.9
[01:37] <mow> guest1 > my son had same kind of problem... I installed backports... seemed to help it
[01:37] <zebastian> IdleOne: i know i want the 1.2.12
[01:37] <digilord> Does anyone know how to play the video files that the G1 records video into?
[01:37] <alankila> guest1: don't know what you mean. It takes a while to acquire a working connection.
[01:37] <dr3mro> hi all i need to try the new telepathy with msn video support in ubuntu 9.04 can any one help me ???????????
[01:37] <zebastian> i already extracted the tarball but now there's just a folder sitting on my desktop
[01:37] <alankila> as far as I can tell it's a similar delay on windows
[01:38] <guest1> mow: backports?
[01:38] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: empathy you mean?
[01:38] <guest1> mow: i'm a newb
[01:38] <sebsebseb> !info emptahy
[01:38] <dennygoot> anyone know where the scanner conf file is located?
[01:38] <guest1> mow: :P
[01:38] <sebsebseb> !info empathy
[01:38] <mow> guest1 > network backports
[01:38] <IdleOne> zebastian: then compile from source like you were attempting to do. continue to follow the instructions you had
[01:39] <mow> guest1 > just google backports
[01:39] <dr3mro> sebsebseb, i dont know but i read that in a web site that it support msn video what ever its name can you pls help me
[01:39] <alankila> there are likely a large number of related issues. I'm not too hopeful for this hardware I have because even the win32 driver locks up until next reboot when I make similar transfers. To me, a fast long-term transfer is the killer, usually dies before 2 GB has been transmitted
[01:39] <IdleOne> zebastian: if you get an error, stop and ask :)
[01:39] <zebastian> IdleOne: how do i compile from source? i extracted but on second step here http://nicotine-plus.sourceforge.net/NicotinePlusGuide/Installation/NicotineOnAnyDistro.htm it tells me theres no nicotine directory
[01:39] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: empthay and  amsn for  MSN web cam
[01:39] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: empathy
[01:39] <bastid_raZor> !google > mow
[01:39] <alankila> all I can conclude is that wifi sucks, as a rule. :-/
[01:39] <guest1> alankila: if i try to reconnect at once after it has happened it doesnt acquire the ip or something.... so have to turn it of
[01:39] <dr3mro> sebsebseb, empathy i installed it but it doesnt have video call
[01:40] <IdleOne> zebastian: you are at Desktop now correct?
[01:40] <zebastian> bash: cd: nicotine+-1.2.12: No such file or director
[01:40] <guest1> alankila: and then turn it on again
[01:40] <zebastian> yes
[01:40] <seidos> alankila: the ath5k driver for the ar242x atheros chipset has been working quite well
[01:40] <thiebaude> !info madwifi
[01:40] <IdleOne> zebastian: type ls ( ls will list files )
[01:40] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: maybe a later version than the one in the 9.04 repo does, I don't know, and what do you mean video call?
[01:40] <IdleOne> zebastian: then cd nico(tab)
[01:40] <zebastian> http://pastebin.com/m24ca5e57

[01:41] <llua> trying to make a custom icon. cant find a guide on google :<
[01:41] <zebastian> IdleOne: done
[01:41] <alankila> seidos: yes, so does my bcm43 on laptop, it seems... but not one thing has ever worked everywhere I have tried to use wi-fi, it seems... if it works at home, it surely fails at work. Or acts up on both. Or something. There is a ridiculous degree of incompatibility on wi-fi.
[01:41] <IdleOne> zebastian: ./nicotine
[01:41] <TrentonAdams> how do I change ubuntu/debian startup options?  i.e. what starts and does not start when the computer boots
[01:41] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: I think   hardly any   of these programs for  Linux have that, if any
[01:41] <TrentonAdams> nm
[01:41] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: maybe Mercury Messenger,  which is closed source,  made by one guy,  and a Java app
[01:42] <ZachK18> TrentonAdams, system/preferences/startup applications
[01:42] <zebastian> IdleOne: http://pastebin.com/m7b0754b3
[01:42] <seidos> alankila: are you saying your bcm43 doesn't work reliably?
[01:42] <TrentonAdams> ZachK18: that doesn't control startup services.
[01:42] <ZachK18> ah services
[01:43] <IdleOne> zebastian: downloading now gimme a minute
[01:43] <TrentonAdams> tomcat-6 doesn't appear to be listed in the services tool in System=>Administration=>Services
[01:43] <phix> TrentonAdams: oh noes
[01:43] <alankila> seidos: doesn't work on my work access point, that one. Try to transfer anything fast and it locks up, needs module removal and reinsert before it's back in business.
[01:43]  * seidos just peaked in after looking at bugs in launch pad :)
[01:43] <phix> TrentonAdams: That is cause you need to do that manually
[01:43] <alankila> works fine at home, though
[01:44] <TrentonAdams> phix: okay, I will.
[01:44] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: also   not sure about the very latest version of  Windows Live Messenger, but a slightly older  one  can  run rather nicely in Wine it seems,   by some  article/blogentry I  read whenever it was now
[01:44] <DJ-Nomad> TrentonAdams,  this works good for startup program control  http://www.marzocca.net/linux/bum.html
[01:44] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: and of course with enough RAM a Windows virtual machine inside Ubuntu is an option
[01:44] <justin__> can yahoo messenger work well under wine?
[01:44] <TLF> hello
[01:44] <zebastian> IdleOne: once you download it,open the folder and see there's an icon that says tray icon install, an executable, should i click on it?

[01:46] <zebastian> bbs too
[01:46] <sebsebseb> justin__: if it's so important for you to have,  with enough RAM,  how much you got?   You can  virtual machine Windows for it, inside Ubuntu
[01:46] <phix> crankharder: just do it
[01:46] <TrentonAdams> DJ-Nomad: I will try it out, thanks.
[01:46] <phix> crankharder: define busted up?
[01:47] <mycomputer> how to make voice cal using pidgin
[01:47] <DJ-Nomad> TrentonAdams, you are welcome,I like it pretty good
[01:47] <sebsebseb> mycomputer: You can't
[01:47] <DJ-Nomad> mycomputer,  you cannot
[01:47] <crankharder> phix: winXP won't boot so we need to get some files off of it -- he got openssh-server installed, but he probably doesn't know how to open 22 in his firewall
[01:47] <alankila> seidos: ummm... no
[01:47] <crankharder> is there anything that he can initiate so I can get in?
[01:47] <seidos> alankila: oh
[01:47] <bobbob1016> I think fsck is stuck on a drive, it has been on 32.7% on one drive for 30+ minutes
[01:47] <zebastian> back
[01:47] <DJ-Nomad> mycomputer,  you can use amsn I believe to do it
[01:47] <mycomputer> DJ-Nomad : my friend told using empathy you can able to make voica call
[01:48] <dr3mro> sebsebseb, http://d0od.blogspot.com/2009/09/empathy-msn-video.html
[01:48] <DJ-Nomad> mycomputer,  thats not pidgin
[01:48] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: oh ok
[01:48] <harisund> Does anyone know of any device on which the Ubuntu MID edition runs?
[01:48] <sebsebseb> dr3mro: thanks I guess
[01:48] <mycomputer> DJ-Nomad : and also in pidgin
[01:49] <treyh> I would like my ubuntu server, to have a virtual interface setup with a static ip, that when it receives any traffic it redirects/routes traffic to a random ip (ip1, ip2, or ip3)
[01:49] <mycomputer> DJ-Nomand: it is possible in empathy
[01:49] <sebsebseb> mycomputer: you can't in Pidgin
[01:49] <alankila> I'm not trying to solve any problem here. I'm just trying to point out that in my experience wlan just plain doesn't work very well. I wonder if early years of wired ethernet were as bad.
[01:49] <DJ-Nomad> mycomputer,  there are a few programs I have heard can do it but pidgin is not one of them
[01:49] <DJ-Nomad> I am not familiar with empathy
[01:49] <mycomputer> sebsebseb: i am often disconnecting from net any software to reconnect itself
[01:50] <phix> crankharder: tell him to boot off winXP cd, go into recovery console, and tye in help,  he should run the chkdsk with some options as well as fixmbr perhaps
[01:50] <zebastian> bro: you said that you use wine and soulseek?
[01:50] <sebsebseb> alankila: wireless also tends to be slower than ethernet, and so on
[01:50] <sebsebseb> mycomputer: I don't know
[01:50] <bro> zebastian, yep
[01:50] <mycomputer> DJ-Nomand: i am often disconnecting from net any software to reconnect itself
[01:50] <bro> zebastian, for music
[01:50] <zebastian> bro, will wine run the latest version of slsk?
[01:50] <mycomputer>  i am often disconnecting from net any software to reconnect itself
[01:51] <seidos> sebsebseb: ethernet is great because it's so standard now.
[01:51] <mycomputer> sebsebseb: thanks
[01:51] <xiong> where is apache installed by default?
[01:51] <zebastian> IdleOne: let me know hwen you're back
[01:51] <phix> treyh: do it! sudo ifconfig eth0:1 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 (for example)
[01:51] <sebsebseb> seidos: yeah that's one reason why it's great
[01:51] <sebsebseb> mycomputer: np
[01:51] <phix> treyh: then use iptables to set a redirect rule
[01:51] <alankila> sebsebseb: yes... but above all, no wired ethernet I've had has paused for about 15 seconds with no packets being received every 60 seconds or so. This is maddening problem, and very hard to even google.
[01:51] <mycomputer> sebsebseb: did you know how to disable write protected pendrive from ubuntu
[01:51] <bro> zebastian, i have soulseek 157 and it runs perfect in wine
[01:51] <sebsebseb> mycomputer: not sure
[01:52] <sebsebseb> bro: You should  use native apps ideally :)
[01:52] <zebastian> bro, i still want to get nicotine, but i'm getting wine now
[01:52] <itstudent> 12345
[01:52] <prince_jammys> picking up all the vices.
[01:53] <DJ-Nomad> lol
[01:53] <mycomputer> any software to connect to net itself
[01:53] <alankila> I've had to discard 2 wi-fi cards and 1 USB device for this reason, because they are simply unworkable due to this problem. One PCMCIA card I have kept shows this pausing problem to a limited degree, only a few seconds. I suspect it may be network manager initiating a scan to find new access points, it might somehow disturb the existing connections.
[01:53] <dennygoot> ok i have a couple new files, ones a conf, and ones a .usb, where would i put these? (usb scanner)
[01:53] <seidos> alankila: the only options for wifi are native linux driver (madwifi?) and ndiswrapper...otherwise you have to wait for someone to fix the driver, write a new one for your hardware, or learn to write hardware drivers
[01:53] <bro> sebsebseb: you're right but last time i tried nicotine i had some problems with the server and i didn't have the patience [got the word right! :D] to fix it, and i was used to soulseek under windows for so long
[01:54] <sebsebseb> bro: What are you downloading?
[01:54] <phix> last time I tried nicotine I coughed my lungs out
[01:54] <alankila> seidos: yes, and I have tried both ndiswrapper and native drivers... I can't say ndiswrapper works too well, so I've concluded that you are almost always better off with a linux driver.
[01:54] <mycomputer> any to use c and c++ programming in ubutnu
[01:54] <icarus> anybody?

[01:55] <phix> mycomputer: what?
[01:55] <compizhatesme> and i turned on the reflection one
[01:55] <dennygoot> should i put scanner conf files in usb/share sane...??
[01:55] <mycomputer> princa_jammys: like borland c
[01:55] <Sarah> #wctc
[01:55] <compizhatesme> and everything immediately froze but the mouse
[01:56] <mycomputer> phix: like borland c to run and execute the program
[01:56] <compizhatesme> now whenever i start ubuntu its all frozen but the mouse the instant i see the desktop
[01:56] <compizhatesme> every time
[01:56] <seidos> icarus: I didn't see your question.  I was reading the Ubuntu hardware compatibility list
[01:56] <itstudentdaver> if you choose not to decide tyou still have made a choice
[01:56] <phix> mycomputer: ummm you can install g++ and gcc to do that
[01:56] <cmwslw> hi, can anyone help me with a question regarding udev and ignore_rule?

[01:57] <phix> what a noob
[01:57] <compizhatesme> phix i dont understand a word you said
[01:57] <compizhatesme> phix i have little/no experience with ubuntu
[01:57] <phix> compizhatesme: ok, so how do you know compiz hates you then?
[01:58] <guest1> does anyone know how to limit bandwidth globally?
[01:58] <DJ-Nomad> dialup
[01:58] <compizhatesme> phix, its just a name, ok? all im saying is that everything froze (entirely unresponsive) except the cursor after i enabled reflection
[01:58] <dennygoot> I have come to the conclusion that (even though my scanner is supported under sane) i am gonna just have to run it with gksu, and be happy it runs at all
[01:58] <compizhatesme> of course, because it froze, phix, i couldnt simply disable reflection.
[01:58] <xiong> where is apache installed by default?
[01:58] <hoonteke> hah, nice. @ DJ-Nomad
[01:58] <phix> compizhatesme: ok, so press CTRL+ALT+F1
[01:58] <ecelis> xiong: what do you mean?
[01:58] <phix> compizhatesme: then log in
[01:59] <compizhatesme> now, when i startup ubuntu it freezes right away cause reflection is still enabled. i dont know anything about the console or commands phix
[01:59] <alankila> guest1: called ingress and egress rules in netfilter, program is called tc to modify these. Needs a PhD degree before you can work out what to do, but there are some apps like wondershaper that whip up rules for tc
[01:59] <treyh> phix: but i want it randomly to select an ip
[01:59] <LjL> phix, "lol, what a noob" is the kind of comment you can safely keep to yourself without any adverse effects.
[01:59] <phix> LjL: :D YOU ARE BACK!

[01:59] <compizhatesme> phix; ctrl+alt+f1, log in, then what?
[01:59]  * seidos calls himself a poser
[02:00] <dennygoot> can anyone tell me why i shouldnt run xsane as root? what could happen?
[02:00] <xiong> ecelis, i'm upgrading my perl modules; in the middle of the upgrade i was asked where apache was installed and i could not say -- according to package manager, i have installed it but i have no idea where -- certainly, i have not done any sort of manual setup or configuration
[02:00]  * Gate calls seidos a poser
[02:00] <LjL> dennygoot: virtually everything, probably nothing
[02:00] <guest1> alankila: thanks will look into it
[02:00]  * seidos laughs at Gate 
[02:00] <phix> compizhatesme: well, since you make the change to your local user you can either move your .config someplace else, or find out the configuration file in there responsible for the reflection effect
[02:00] <dennygoot> thats good cause thats the only way this scanner will scan
[02:00] <LjL> dennygoot: but, if you can't use it from a normal user, then that's not really nice, and you should try to fix that...
[02:00] <hoonteke> Is 9.10 slated to be an LTS?
[02:00] <phix> compizhatesme: it is probably in .config/compiz/compizconfig/config
[02:01] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: no
[02:01] <dennygoot> i have tried and tried and tried and tried, lol
[02:01] <compizhatesme> phix: i dont think i have the experience to figure out how to do that
[02:01] <sebsebseb> !lts |  hoonteke
[02:01] <phix> compizhatesme: nano .config/compiz/compizconfig/config
[02:01] <LjL> dennygoot: what scanner is it
[02:01] <compizhatesme> phix: what will that do ?
[02:01] <seidos> sebsebseb: nicely done
[02:01] <phix> compizhatesme: nano is a text editor
[02:01] <sebsebseb> seidos: yep
[02:01] <hoonteke> sebsebseb: thanks.
[02:01] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: np
[02:01] <phix> compizhatesme: .config/compiz/compizconfig/config is the name of a file, so it will open up a text editor with that file :)
[02:01] <compizhatesme> phix, ah, ok, then just pop through until i find anything tht looks like reflection?
[02:01] <dennygoot> an artec e48 plus pro
[02:02] <xiong> i'm done today
[02:02] <phix> compizhatesme: yes, or you can delete the whole file :)
[02:02] <phix> compizhatesme: a new one with default settings will be created when you log in
[02:02] <compizhatesme> phix: how can i delete the file?
[02:02] <compizhatesme> phix: that sounds simpler to me.
[02:02] <cakeman> how can i tell if i am using 64-bit?
[02:03] <dennygoot> LjL: an arted e48u plus actually
[02:03] <LjL> dennygoot: can't say i know about artecs, but for my epson, i needed to change the /proc/.../usb/whatever devices' permissions manually
[02:03] <mycomputer> i want to give software packages to others how can i give it
[02:03] <DJ-Nomad> xiong, you can right click> properties >installed files in package manager  to find where all traces of a app is
[02:03] <phix> actually just move it somewhere else -->      mv .config/compiz/compizconfig/config compizConfig-20090916.old
[02:03] <prince_jammys> cakeman: uname -m
[02:03] <dennygoot> LjL: i have changed the permission for half of whats on my hd already, but if you can give me the code, or help me ill try it
[02:03] <prince_jammys> cakeman: what does that output/
[02:04] <cakeman> how can i tell if i am using 64-bit?
[02:04] <DJ-Nomad> there is a terminal command to find it but I dunno it
[02:04] <phix> compizhatesme: press CTRL+ALT+F7 to go back to the GUI Login window
[02:04] <phix> cakeman: uname -a
[02:04] <compizhatesme> phix: how can i just delete teh config file?
[02:04] <phix> LjL: How have you been?
[02:04] <cakeman> x86_64?
[02:04] <phix> compizhatesme: rm .config/compiz/compizconfig/config
[02:04] <compizhatesme> ok thanks
[02:04] <phix> cakeman: yup
[02:04] <phix> cakeman: that means 64bit
[02:05] <cakeman> thats 64?!
[02:05] <phix> it is!
[02:05] <phix> :D
[02:05] <cakeman> YAY!
[02:05] <cakeman> 8-)
[02:05] <phix> yay! /o/ \o\
[02:05] <cakeman> seeya!
[02:05] <LjL> dennygoot: would have to find out the device path, honetsly i was more like heading to bed right now. aside from making sure you're in the "scanner" group, i'd only change permissions while knowing very well what one's changing
[02:05] <phix> bye
[02:05] <BedPost> hey, is there an amarok channel?
[02:05] <alankila> sadly, 64 bits are useless... ;-)
[02:05] <phix> alankila: they are useful!
[02:05] <Gate> alankila: lies!
[02:05] <DJ-Nomad> 8 bits is a dollar
[02:05] <dennygoot> LjL: i have only changed what the nice peeps here told me to do, and the million web pages i have used
[02:05] <BedPost> april 2 bits is my mom's birthday
[02:05] <DJ-Nomad> so that 8 bucks
[02:06] <alankila> yes, for wasting RAM and discovering problems with all sorts of software from buggy flash player to mozilla javascript speed.
[02:06] <BedPost> seriously, anyone knowledgeable: is there an amarok channel?
[02:06] <phix> 8bit :S  I hate using arrays to hold larger numbers in
[02:06] <seidos> I thought 64 bit was best if you had 4GB of ram or more
[02:06] <fbc-mx> How can I make my browser browse the internet again?
[02:06] <Gate> 64 bit atomic operations FTW!
[02:06] <seidos> and 64 bit processor(s)
[02:06] <alankila> seidos: good point. It's worth it when you have 4 GB or more RAM, I guess.
[02:07] <Ten-Eight> Bedpost: yes there is an amarok channel.  /join #amarok
[02:07] <Gate> seidos: 64 bit processors are required for anything above around 3.5-4 GB ram
[02:07] <prince_jammys> BedPost: why not try to join it?
[02:07] <seidos> Gate: I only have 2GB of ram
[02:07] <dennygoot> LjL: Thanx for the help, have a good nights sleep man.
[02:07] <seidos> Gate: but I have a 64bit processor.  I figured using 64bit wouldn't make a difference.
[02:07] <Gate> seidos: 64 bit will also evade the end of the unix Epoch
[02:08] <alankila> no, I mean, 64 bits is still a second-class citizen. New features tend to arrive first on 32-bit systems, because most people still run 32-bit applications.
[02:08] <alankila> so if you are happy to wait a few extra years to get stuff everyone else is running, I guess you don't mind and then we can talk about theoretical efficiency of 64-bit assembly or whatever, really. But the practical price right now is still lack of compatibility and support.
[02:08] <nexes> why wont ubuntu let you upgrade your firefox version???
[02:08] <fbc-mx> My browser stop browing the net. How can I fix it?
[02:09] <dennygoot> have a good night all, im gonna just gksu xsane and call it even
[02:09] <seidos> alankila: 64bit versions of things are coming out faster and faster
[02:09] <Gate> alankila: the 32-64 delta is getting smaller, enough so that I am perfectly content on 64 bit
[02:09] <w30> can  all  x86_64 computers use more than 4gig memory
[02:09] <seidos> Gate: the key is probably the hardware you're running
[02:10] <seidos> Gate: is your hardware on the HCL?
[02:10] <alankila> seidos: yes... maybe it starts to make sense to switch now, I don't know... But I was rudely reminded of my bad choice of architecture on my main box when I heard that for instance Firefox 3.5 doesn't have the new tracemonkey javascript engine for 64 bits, because nobody has ported it.
[02:10] <Gate> seidos: never even looked at the HCL
[02:10] <Gate> 32 bit will mostly die in the next few years, as ram > 4 GB becomes more prevalent
[02:10] <seidos> alankila: it doesnt make sense for me to switch, but for new users, probably.  for what I do, 64bit would make little to no difference
[02:10] <Gate> but I guarantee that no one in their right mind will be using 32 bit come 2038 :D
[02:10] <dennygoot> ok a new question, any way to tell xsane not to go "omg your root!" everytime i gksu xsane?
[02:11] <seidos> Gate: do you have a desktop or laptop?
[02:11] <Guest616> phix, i ran rm .config/compiz/compizconfig/config and then ctrl+alt+f7 and then logged in and i had the same result
[02:11] <Gate> both
[02:11] <seidos> Gate: brand?
[02:11] <Gate> and they breed :D
[02:11] <Gate> laptop is a Macbook from 2 years ago
[02:11] <Gate> 4GB ram, x64 dual core processor
[02:11] <seidos> Gate: do you have Ubuntu on it?
[02:11] <Gate> yes
[02:12] <Guest616> phix, i suspect therefore either somehow my command just didnt work out, or perhaps the file path isnt right and i deleted nothing?
[02:12] <Gate> 64 bit Ubuntu 9.04 at the moment
[02:12] <seidos> Gate: cool.  I sold my macbook
[02:12] <alankila> And I'm a Java programmer and only in this year did 64-bit VM get client-side mode support, and compressed object pointers that always take 32 bits and restrict Java to 8 GB of memory at max... It took something like 5 years before 64-bit computing gained enough traction that Sun put it in roadmaps to support it properly.
[02:12] <seidos> Gate: what about your desktop?
[02:12] <Gate> alankila: that is because Java sucks. Don't rate the rest of the world on its suckiness.
[02:12] <alankila> Before that, it was really a server-only system. Old gripes that I got, but I sort of believed when everyone said 64 bits is the future. It's naive to think it's actually a good thing. Even today it still probably isn't that useful.
[02:12] <Gate> alankila: neccecary. Good is negotiable.
[02:12] <phix> perhaps
[02:12] <alankila> Gate: good answer, but the suckiness is divided outside Java.
[02:12] <Gate> true.
[02:13] <seidos> how does java suck?
[02:13] <idontlikenicks> phix: so........                                                                                                  reinstall?
[02:13] <Gate> seidos: AMD x64 dual core, triple booted win32, x86 Ubuntu, x86_64 Ubuntu
 how does java suck?
[02:13] <DJ-Nomad> I love starbucks
[02:13] <sebsebseb> !ot |  DJ-Nomad
[02:13] <idontlikenicks> phix: if reinstalling is my only option i think i might as well just uninstall T_T
[02:13] <Gate> Sp0tter: was that aimed at me?
[02:13] <Sp0tter> garbage collection, interpretted
[02:14] <Gate> Sp0tter: write once, debug everywhere. I have a personal (albeit slightly irrational) disgust for the language.
[02:14] <phix> idontlikenicks: what are you on about?
[02:14] <phix> idontlikenicks: are you changing your nick every 2 seconds?
[02:15] <seidos> Sp0tter: I suppose garbage collection doesn't need to be interpreted
[02:15] <seidos> Sp0tter: it just needs to be collected :)
[02:15] <idontlikenicks> phix: yeah i couldnt decide on a nick for a moment there. anyway, yeah, rm .config/compiz/compizconfig/config didnt work
[02:15] <Gate> collection requires that you trust the collector, and I have NEVER met a GC I trusted, human or algorithm.
[02:15] <alankila> Sp0tter: I'm afraid this is drifting to off-topic, but Java is a dynamically compiled language. It's interpreted at first and then converted to machine code.
[02:15] <Sp0tter> hehe Gate
[02:16] <seidos> write once, debug everywhere sounds like how I wrote my novel...except debug = edit
[02:16] <innomen> Gah!
[02:16] <Sp0tter> alankila, yea  2 pass compiled, same thing..
[02:16] <idontlikenicks> phix; so i asked if my only option was to reinstall at this point? i dont think i can just google the correct location of compiz's configuration settings
[02:16] <Sp0tter> interpretted :)
[02:16] <Gate> seidos: I don't know if you are aware, but its a pun on the old java motto of write once run everywhere
[02:17] <seidos> innomen: did you write this:  http://www.google.com/reader/view/#search/innomen/0?
[02:17] <innomen> confirmation, there is no way to mount a bin file in ubuntu, it must be converted or burnt
[02:17] <seidos> Gate: I am aware now, thank you.
[02:17] <alankila> innomen: mount file /where -t the-fs -o loop
[02:17] <idontlikenicks> phix: i used wubi so i figure it wont be that hard to just reinstall, so that's what ill do. with a mental note to use only the compiz settings that worked and not to play around with new ones. thanks for the help
[02:18] <innomen> hmm
[02:18] <alankila> that is assuming that the bin file is sort of complete filesystem image that linux recognizes. If it's some other format then mount won't work.
[02:18] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: for long term Ubuntu usage a proper partitioned install is better!
[02:18] <innomen> alankila, its the cd image format, in this case vcd
[02:18] <alankila> the loop option allows the regular file to appear as a device file for the filesystem layer, or something, so it's required because the kernel sucks
[02:18] <obiwan_> hi please does anybody here have broadcom wireless chip?
[02:19] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: nothing seems to be able to change my partitions though
[02:19] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: What?
[02:19] <Gate> obiwan_: unfortunately
[02:19] <alankila> innomen: yeah, that'd be like iso9660? Anyway leave the option out, kernel tries all filesystems it knows about and picks one that works
[02:19] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: the ubuntu cd's gparted, or any windows apps, it seems that whenever i try to edit partitions i get some kind of error. I sorta think that my hdd locks itself out from partitioning
[02:19] <innomen> alankila, excellent
[02:20] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: idk if thats the case or not but every time i do it i get errors along the lines of "failed to write partition table"
[02:20] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: with the result being that absolutely nothing has happened to the drive
[02:20] <alankila> crap, have to go into zzz mode
[02:20] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks:  Hmm well there's already a partition table the Windows one
[02:20] <santium> Would anyone know why iwlist wlan0 scan only shows one network, but network-applet shows 5?
[02:20] <sebsebseb> !language |  alankila
[02:20] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: yeah, and to dualboot then on seperate partitions doesnt work cause i cant make an ubuntu partition
[02:21] <idontlikenicks> itll just give me an error when i decide to write the partitions that way
[02:21] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: Which make of computer?
[02:21] <beepbeep> hey
[02:21] <innomen> seidos, what was your question exactly?
[02:21] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: emachines, unfortunately
[02:21] <beepbeep> secret
[02:21] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: an emachines at the time of gateway owning them i think
[02:21] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: or however that worked
[02:21] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: emaches hmmm  I have heard of this make before I think, and it's a company that doesn't like Linux?
[02:21] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: im sure they despise it
[02:22] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: Maybe they done something so you can't  partition,  which Windows is on there?
[02:22] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: XP Pro
[02:22] <santium> idontlikenicks: are you using gparted?
[02:22] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: i replaced vista which came with it
[02:22] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: If it was Vista  you could  use Vista to resize itself, bu since XP Pro hmm
[02:22] <idontlikenicks> santium: i tried gparted, i tried a few different ones
[02:23] <santium> gparted can resize NTFS and fat* partitions.
[02:23] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: oh you did the downgrade thing?  so now you got a lisense for XP Pro rather than Vista?
[02:23] <santium> Try resizing it?
[02:23] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: im not going to worry about it, i only wanted ubuntu so i could use compiz to show up the macfag in my psych class... he never shuts up about his mac
[02:23] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: no, its a legit xp that i bought myself. not a downgrade but a full thing
[02:23] <samid> hi
[02:23] <samid> if i had line\n\line2\n\line3\nline4 how can i print line1 and line2 in one line and then 3,4 on another line?
[02:23] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: so you removed Vista,  and  then were able to put XP Pro on hmm
[02:23] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: correct
[02:24] <samid> i have more than 4 lines...but just givin an example
[02:24] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: Well I hope your using Ubuntu for more than just Compiz
[02:24] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: in fact using it as your primary  OS now :) rather than Windows
[02:24] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: well if i wanted to use ubuntu for real id have it on its own partition but thats clearly not an option. I did use xubuntu and xubuntu only for a few months but that was almost two years ago and i dont have any linux knowledge anymore.
[02:25] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: i just recalled seeing that compiz stuff and wanted to shut the mac kid up
[02:25] <innomen> alankila, you might being a little more explanatory about the command you gave me?
[02:25] <innomen> mind*
[02:25] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: i have to go, library's closing. thanks.
[02:25] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: well as long as  your hardware works, there isn't much of a learning curve with Ubuntu,  unless your going to be doing something complex with it
[02:26] <sebsebseb> idontlikenicks: Sounds good though show the Mac people that LInux is good, ok bye
[02:26] <idontlikenicks> sebsebseb: i have an ability to just wreck anything with the simplest of actions when it comes to technology. it's unexplainable. I make xbox360s red ring by looking at them
[02:26] <innomen> "/where" for example, what is expected there?
[02:26] <Um_cara_qualquer> is there some kind of alert signal program that make a sound after "n" seconds/minutes/hours ?
[02:27] <sebsebseb> Xbox360's :( and he is already gone
[02:28] <innomen> this is silly
[02:28] <innomen> its not like bin is new, is there some patent obstruction with bin files?
[02:29] <santium> Would anyone know why iwlist wlan0 scan only shows one network, but network-applet shows 5?
[02:29] <tvjudge> im looking in my .bashrc for the path statement but obviously it is somewhere else can someone please advise me where?
[02:30] <DasEi>  /etc/bash.bashrc  tvjudge:
[02:30] <santium> tvjudge: /etc/enviroment .
[02:30] <santium> tvjudge: /etc/environment , rather.
[02:31] <rhsanborn> I had an existing 9.04 install on my laptop. I ran the installer and installed a fresh 8.10 install on an external HD. It looks like it overwrote my existing boot loader on the primary HD to point to the /boot partition on the external HD. How do I write the bootloader to point to the original, internal hd?
[02:32] <DasEi> rhsanborn: either d/l super grub disk (google) or follow :
[02:32] <DasEi> !grub
[02:33] <rhsanborn> DasEi: ty
[02:35] <Xcerca> in an .sh script what would be the same command and pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace ? ?
[02:36] <santium> Xcerca: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart .
[02:36] <Matatron> sry... somenone know a german ubuntu channel?
[02:36] <DasEi> Xcerca: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:36] <tvjudge> eh i just added an export PATH= statement to my .bashrc
[02:36] <DasEi> !de | Matatron
[02:36] <sebsebseb> !de |  Matatron
[02:36] <tvjudge> thanks everyone
[02:36] <Xcerca> thanks , i'll try them both
[02:37] <Matatron> ok... then.... i only must enter !de ?
[02:37] <grodius> hi friends im trying to upgrade a package
[02:37] <Matatron> sry my english is not very well^^
[02:37] <mrec> is there anything special with init with ubuntu 9.04?
[02:37] <santium> grodius: What package?
[02:37] <nexes> does someone know why ubuntu wont let you update firefox? my firefox version is 3.0.14, way outdated.
[02:37] <grodius> and having ubuntu 6.1 is a dependency to install the update, but i only have 6.0.. how to i upgrade
[02:37] <Matatron> !de
[02:37] <mrec> I wonder because my init script doesn't want to start :(
[02:38] <pokethesmot> gconf-editor > apps > nautilus > draw desktop /= work for me... and suggestions?  I dont want icons of any sort.
[02:38] <grodius> santium: its LuckyovLegends RT @thatgirlmystic Police kill another unarmed man #DerrickCollins http://short.to/qgbe
[02:38] <grodius> santium: sorry clipboard issue
[02:38] <grodius> santium: its  libc6-dev:
[02:39] <santium> grodius: sudo apt-get upgrade libc6-dev
[02:41] <zebastian> i installed winamp with wine
[02:41] <zebastian> can't find it
[02:42] <kermit> what app will open .chm files?
[02:43] <mrec> oh dear I hate that initsystem which is used with ubuntu 9.04 :(
[02:46] <obiwan_> hi please does anybody here have broadcom wireless chip?
[02:46] <Noturno99> i can't see my movies avi in totem, what can I do?
[02:46] <santium> kermit: sudo apt-get install gnochm .
[02:46] <Omlette> obiwan: I have one.
[02:46] <obiwan_> GReat Omlette !
[02:46] <obiwan_> please can you help me a little?
[02:46] <Omlette> What's up?
[02:46] <obiwan_> first of all, do you know what chip you have?
[02:46] <obiwan_> you can see it at lshw -C net
[02:47] <Omlette> I have a Broadcom 4306.
[02:47] <obiwan_> ok, what driver do you use?
[02:47] <obiwan_> b43?
[02:47] <Omlette> Yeah
[02:47] <Omlette> From the linuxwireless website, I believe.
[02:47] <obiwan_> did you have to configure the firmware? with b43-fwcutt or something similar?
[02:47] <Omlette> Yeah, I used the b34-fwcutter package.
[02:48] <obiwan_> ok, so it is needed hehe
[02:48] <obiwan_> i'm a little concerned
[02:48] <enduser000> hello, does anyone know how to use a webcam (for msn) in empathy? verified webcam with cheese and have telepathy-butterfly installed
[02:48] <Omlette> obiwan_: How come?
[02:49] <zopiac> how do i check what my optical drive is in /dev/??
[02:49] <enduser000> does anyone know how to use a webcam (for msn) in empathy? verified webcam with cheese and have telepathy-butterfly installed
[02:50] <obiwan_> my bcm chip isn't supposed to support b43, but wl which is a new proprietary bcm driver. But i can't work with it, it's really closed. So i'd like to install  b43 but i'm afraid of messing the firmware, i don't know how could i restore it, so i haven't done anything at all, because simply loading b43 and unloading wl won't work. I think the b43 compatible firmware is necessary
[02:50] <Omlette> Yeah, you probably do want that.
[02:50] <Omlette> I'll PM you a page with some information.
[02:51] <obiwan_> ough i've read a huge load of google results
[02:51] <obiwan_> but none hoelped too much :/
[02:51] <obiwan_> can i ask you a little please?
[02:51] <obiwan_> are you using now wifi?
[02:51] <Omlette> I seem to be. :)
[02:52] <Omlette> And yeah, the Broadcom 4306 is a pain in the neck to configure.
[02:52] <obiwan_> hehe ok. Then i don't want to disturb you
[02:52] <Omlette> Not a problem. I can help you if you need it.
[02:53] <obiwan_> i don't have 4306 but 4328, so b43 isn't supported at all, and wl won't work with iwconfig settings  :F xD
[02:53] <nathan_> any thoughts on how to resolve: segfault in libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6.so.4.7.0 ?
[02:53] <enduser000> does anyone know how to use a webcam (for msn) in empathy? verified webcam with cheese and have telepathy-butterfly installed
[02:53] <zchef2k> can anyone help me figure out why i cant get esd to accept connects for xmms?
[02:53] <obiwan_> yeah but you'd have to connect to ethernet cable or dsl , because what i need is anybody try a little commands
[02:54] <Omlette> obiwan_:Ouch, that's a bad card to have with Linux. :|
[02:54] <obiwan_> but no worry, i'll ask later maybe someone is connected to ethernet and can edit wifi settings without getting disconnected
[02:54] <seidos> obiwan_: too bad you can't trade with someone :\
[02:54] <enduser000> does anyone know how to use a webcam (for msn) in empathy? verified webcam with cheese and have telepathy-butterfly installed. can't seem to find anything of the internet
[02:55] <seidos> obiwan_: like a non-ubuntu user
[02:55] <dennygoot> hey! the answer is at the bottom of this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1220321&highlight=e-48u
[02:55] <obiwan_> yeah , really bad. ^ ^, i've got a macbook. got sick of you know who so switched to linux. i love it but it's a new world, sometimes hard for newbies like me :P
[02:55] <dennygoot> my scanner now works in non root mode!
[02:56] <pokethesmot> my root works in not root mode
[02:56] <Omlette> obiwan: Tell me about it! :P
[02:56] <obiwan_> there's no problem seidos, i'll w8 for somebody
[02:56] <kermit> santium: thanks!
[02:56] <santium> kermit: not a problem.
[02:56] <dennygoot> you guys really did try to help me, so thank you!
[02:56] <obiwan_> about what? ^_^
[02:57] <seidos> macbooks are nice
[02:57] <seidos> i like how their put together
[02:57] <enduser000> does anyone know how to use a webcam (for msn) in empathy? verified webcam with cheese and have telepathy-butterfly installed
[02:58] <seidos> enduser000: my webcam works in ekiga, not cheese, and I couldn't see where to set it up in empathy
[02:58] <cmdbbq> trying to connect my laptop to my tv via an svga cable, everything works fine until after i log in, desktop loads,  is visible for a second, and then the tv reports no signal, if i switch to a tty the terminal shows up as soon as i go back to xserver the signal is lost again, weird right?
[02:58] <enduser000> seidos: yeah, mine works in cheese (haven't tried in ekiga), and there doesn't seem to be a place to show it in empathy
[02:59] <cmdbbq> so, what is different about the way the signal is sent from the deskktop vs from gdm or terminal?
[02:59] <zebastian> MEAT. GRINDER.
[02:59] <seidos> enduser000: I saw the same thing in empathy.  I uninstalled empathy because of this, though I heard empathy is supposed to be the default messenger in koala
[03:00] <obiwan_> yeah they are, except for a few issues like it's extremely closed mobo firmware, and a pain with some keyboard/trackpad settings that my mothers $200 netbook doesn't have at all :P
[03:00] <enduser000> seidos: w00t! the only problem is lack of irc support
[03:00] <enduser000> seidos: I'd like the webcam though too...
[03:00] <seidos> enduser000: I dunno, I like irssi
[03:00] <zopiac> how do i check what my optical drive is in /dev/??
[03:00] <cmdbbq> enduser000: what type of netbook are you using?
[03:01] <enduser000> cmdbbq: not a netbook, dell xps m1330
[03:01] <cmdbbq> oh
[03:01] <ZachK18> hello all
[03:01] <cmdbbq> nm, then
[03:01] <mjheagle8> seidos: enduser000: irssi ftw!
[03:01] <Matatron> ich frag einfach mal hier... jemand hier der mir eine frage zu EXT4 beantworten kann wodurch ich andauernd ne Kernelpanick bekomme....   Kernel 2.6.30... Ubuntu Jaunty,,, und Karmic Alpha
[03:01] <bacon1989> hello
[03:01] <enduser000> irssi = irc o.O?
[03:02] <posix4e> So I just installed the netbook remix, and right after installing qt4  and removining pulseaudio to run dynamic skype, the main menu went away. I literly can't run anything from the x gnome session.
[03:02] <dennygoot> looks like amsn has msn webcam support, but i dont have msn or a webcam, so i cant test it out for ya
[03:02] <seidos> mjheagle8: yeah, I like irssi.  It's the best irc client I've ever used
[03:02] <zopiac> enduser000: its a CLI irc programme
[03:02] <enduser000> ohh
[03:02] <enduser000> sounds AWESOME
[03:02] <cmdbbq> irssi is commandline irc client, it is sweet
[03:02] <seidos> !cli
[03:02] <bacon1989> i like erc in emacs
[03:02] <seidos> ah command line interface
[03:02] <bacon1989> works marvels
[03:03] <zopiac> how do i check what my optical drive is listed as in /dev/??
[03:03] <sid> How do I force a filesystem check on an encrypted file system with the latest ubuntu?
[03:03] <TheCheeze> define latest? 9.10?
[03:03] <seidos> zopiac: I did ls in dev, and I couldn't see anything that looked remotely like an optical drive
[03:03] <sid> On regular Ubuntu I believe you can just do 'touch /forcefsck' and on reboot it will do a fsck. How do I do it on an encrypted fs though, the same does not seem to work.
[03:03] <sid> TheCheeze: yes, 9.10
[03:03] <seidos> zopiac: do you have a cd in your optical drive?
[03:04] <zopiac> seidos: i have in /dev/ dvd2, dvdrw2, cdrom2, cdrw2, and a bunch of stuff, and i have no clue what it is
[03:04] <TheCheeze> not entirely sure how to do it with encrypted, sorry
[03:04] <seidos> or dvd
[03:04] <zopiac> seidos: yes i do, it is actually a dvd drive
[03:04] <enduser000> does anyone know how to use a webcam (for msn) in empathy? verified webcam with cheese and have telepathy-butterfly installed
[03:04] <ZachK18> anybody not been helped as of yet?
[03:04] <enduser000> me ^^
[03:04] <cmdbbq> ZachK18:
[03:04] <cmdbbq> trying to connect my laptop to my tv via an svga cable, everything works fine until after i log in, desktop loads,  is visible for a second, and then the tv reports no signal, if i switch to a tty the terminal shows up as soon as i go back to xserver the signal is lost again, weird right?
[03:04] <seidos> zopiac: if you type mount, while you have a dvd in your drive I think it will show you which one it should be
[03:05] <seidos> zopiac: I'm not sure, let me get a dvd to make sure
[03:05] <zopiac> will see
[03:05] <ZachK18> cmdbbq, open a chat with
[03:05] <elad`> I don't suppose any weakness is known in the way Ubuntu stores passwords, that would let me recover a forgotten password?
[03:05] <zopiac> seidos: actually i have a cd in my dvd drive, and mount isnt showing me it
[03:05] <bacon1989> i don't think you can perform a check on an encrypted filesystem, unless u can decrypt it first
[03:06] <enduser000> does anyone know how to use a webcam (for msn) in empathy? verified webcam with cheese and have telepathy-butterfly installed
[03:06] <seidos> zopiac: you have to browse the disc before ubuntu will mount it
[03:07] <zebastian> help, i downloaded xmms2 and yet i can't find it in the applications menu
[03:07] <zopiac> seidos: right, will do
[03:07] <seidos> zopiac: mine is mounted on /media/cdrom0
[03:07] <zopiac> seidos: well thats where it mounts it, but i need to know what the device is
[03:07] <seidos> zopiac: my guess would then be cdrom?
[03:08] <zopiac> but is it cdrom2, cdrw2, dvd2, or dvdrw1? i have no idea
[03:08] <enduser000> does anyone here use empathy?
[03:08] <zebastian> matter of fact hwen i try to play something on gxmms
[03:08] <zebastian> it says it's not running
[03:08] <seidos> zopiac: I did ls cd* and I have cdrom and cdrw
[03:08] <bacon1989> never heard of it
[03:08] <elad`> I don't suppose any weakness is known in the way Ubuntu stores passwords, that would let me recover a forgotten password?
[03:08] <ZachK18> elad: chat me
[03:09] <seidos> zopiac:  I will have to search google to find out more about /dev and optical drives
[03:09] <misingnoglic> Hey, for some reason, all noise on my ubuntu is really quiet, yet when I switch to win7 its louder. why?
[03:10] <zopiac> seidos: do this: 'mount |grep cd' or maybe 'mount | grep cd' i was told it would tell me but it isnt working
[03:10] <bacon1989> lol
[03:10] <enduser000> misingnoglic: in volume control, turn "front" up
[03:10] <enduser000> does anyone know how to use a webcam (for msn) in empathy? verified webcam with cheese and have telepathy-butterfly installed
[03:10] <seidos> zopiac: I removed the dvd that I put in...
[03:11] <ZachK18> enduser000, chat me
[03:11] <w30> elad`, there is a way to remove the password  by booting on a recover cd and then you can set a new one.
[03:11] <misingnoglic> enduser000: Thanks =]
[03:11] <seidos> zopiac: but why would I do it?  I already know my optical drive mounts to /media/cdrom0
[03:11] <enduser000> misingnoglic: np I used to hate that :P
[03:11] <zopiac> seidos: its not supposed to tell you the mount point, but the device name in /dev/
[03:11] <elad`> w30: But I can't recover the password?
[03:12] <zopiac> seidos: i want to know if it is just me that cant do it or what
[03:12] <w30> elad`, not that I know of.
[03:12] <seidos> zopiac: I don't understand the distinction between /dev/cdrom the file and the mounted /media/cdrom0
[03:12] <seidos> zopiac: I am speculating they are related, but I could be wrong
[03:12] <w30> elad`,   why have them if you can defeat them?
[03:13] <elad`> w30: Could you tell me more about resetting the password, then?
[03:13] <elad`> w30: I figured as much, but I was hopeful.
[03:13] <bacon1989> i think ubuntu uses an md5 hash for paswords
[03:13] <matthew1> I tried googling this but I'm having a hard time finding what I need. Can someone point me in the right direction to figure out how to set up a webcam integrated in an ideapad?
[03:13] <enduser000> enduser
[03:13] <w30> elad`, I forget, Google for it :=)
[03:13] <seidos> zopiac: oh, in mount I have /dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom0 sorry
[03:13] <zopiac> seidos: /mount/cdrom is where the files on the cd drive are made vidible by mounting. /dev places are the devices. it
[03:13] <enduser000> whoops
[03:13] <elad`> Does anyone else here remember how I can reset a forgotten password?
[03:14] <MrPockets> in Ubuntu?
[03:14] <jwcalderon> join amistad
[03:14] <MrPockets> sudo passwd USERNAME
[03:14] <zebastian> Question: can i open multiple terminals in order to wget -c different files at once?
[03:14] <elad`> w30: I remember the pattern of my password. I could have written a simple script to try the not-so-many variations (given the pattern), if I knew how to interface with the password-thingie.
[03:14] <Steil> or if its your main password, boot into recovery through grub....escape at boot then goto recovery....then passwd username
[03:14] <zopiac> seidos: it is kinda like mounting an .iso file that contains whatever the corresponging device has in it (be it a cd drive with a disk in it, or a hard drive etc.)
[03:14] <seidos> zopiac: so in /dev my cdrom is sr0
[03:14] <prince_jammys> zebastian: go for it.
[03:15] <zopiac> seidos: did the command tell you that?
[03:15] <seidos> zopiac: ah
[03:15] <seidos> zopiac: mount told me that
[03:15] <zopiac> hm
[03:15] <Bluey> having some trouble with identd - could someone help?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/271286/
[03:16] <FelpsJ> Hi. Anyone here uses DropBox with xubuntu?
[03:16] <seidos> zopiac: what are you trying to do?
[03:16] <zebastian> prince_jammys:  is it me or vlc is sort of choppy?
[03:16] <zopiac> seidos: epsxe need to know the device name in order to run disks from the drive instead of .iso files. i need to know what the /dev/ name is for my drive for this
[03:16] <elad`> Will I be losing anything when I reset my password through the recovery menu? Any encrypted information?
[03:17] <seidos> !epsxe

[03:18] <zopiac> seidos: i got it, apparently the PS1 disks dont show up with the mount command, so i put in a dvd and it worked
[03:19]  * seidos nods
[03:19] <obiwan_> yeah they are, except for a few issues like it's extremely closed mobo firmware, and a pain with some keyboard/trackpad settings that my mothers $200 netbook doesn't have at all :P
[03:19] <obiwan_> whoooooopss sry
[03:19] <Zylstra555> Anyone know of a good hard drive surface testing utility that runs in Ubuntu on a live CD? (I can download from apt-get on the live CD)
[03:19] <obiwan_> hi please does anybody here have broadcom wireless chip?
[03:22] <Argos> hey wsup
[03:22] <Argos> anyone here
[03:22] <Guest74357> ya
[03:22] <enduser000> yup ^^
[03:22] <MrPockets> WOT?
[03:22] <Argos> how come ubantu uses to much cpu usage
[03:23] <Bluey> argos -- did you do a "top" to see what's running?  or a ps -ef ?
[03:23] <enduser000> !cpu usage
[03:23] <enduser000> :P worth a try
[03:24] <shane2peru> sebsebseb: I can't believe after all that, I can't get ati working with my ubuntu!
[03:24] <seidos> enduser000: %cpu being used at a time.  100% cpu usage all the time is "heavy cpu usage", where as 10% might be considered light usage
[03:24] <Argos> cpu usages is high.any ideas
[03:24] <ZachK18> Bluey: you would like to see your processes?
[03:24] <seidos> enduser000: try typing "top" in a terminal
[03:25] <Argos> and iam not using any program
[03:25] <Bluey> zack - no I know how to do that  but I need help with an ident issue:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/271286/
[03:25] <enduser000> seidos: thanks ^^
[03:25] <seidos> Argos: for the process that's doing it you can stop the process temporarily by typing pkill -stop processname
[03:25] <vavar> i can't connect to ethernet anymore. it shows SIOCSIF ADDR and FLAGS Permission denied and states that the network was down. that must be a bug or something. a restart did not change it.
[03:26] <Argos> yeah nothing is running i checked
[03:26] <seidos> Argos: paste the results of top into a pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu.com
[03:27] <Argos> ok cool

[03:27] <Sedated> Zylstra555... probaby best to download UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD) which contains the testing tools from all the major manufacturers.. it's only about a 100mb download and welll worth th time
[03:27] <Zylstra555> Sedated: Already done, didn't work.
[03:27] <fez> cocoa jumbo
[03:27] <Sedated> Zylstra555 how did it "not work"?  drive wasn't detected?  didn't detect any errors?
[03:28] <Zylstra555> Sedated: Every disk diagnostics tool inside UBCD requires IDE Emulation on SATA Drives. Newer computers (especially laptops) do not support this.
[03:28] <Zylstra555> Also tried Hireons Boot CD
[03:29] <Sedated> Zylstra555 ... if you have windows you could try Seagate's online test, otherwise you could apt-get install smartmontools in the live cd and run an extended smart test
[03:29] <Zylstra555> Sedated: The drive isn't working, but I can try smartmontools
[03:29] <Zylstra555> smartmontools is CLI, right?
[03:29] <Sedated> Zylstra555 yes, and it doesn't give you a progress bar or anything.  not the most helpful CLI tool in the world but for SMART tests it's as good as you're going to get
[03:30] <vavar> http://www.google.de/search?q=SIOCSIFADDR+SIOCSIFFLAGS+Permission+denied+ubuntu
[03:30] <vavar> no solution around.. wtf??
[03:30] <Argos> hey seidos..fount it..it was boinc
[03:30] <vavar> what is going wrong with ubuntu? why does it kill my ethernet by no reason?
[03:30] <Zylstra555> Sedated: The last time I ran a SMART Test, I discarded the results since they came out weird. That alone is a pretty good sign that the drive is most likely dead.
[03:30] <Zylstra555> I just wish I had a test drive...
[03:31] <Sedated> Zylstra555... even just running "smartctl -i /dev/<whatever>" may show whther the drive has issues or not
[03:31] <elad`> What's a good way to reset a forgotten password?

[03:39] <MenZa> vavar: Before proceeding, I suggest you read ubottu's messages, and adhere to the !guidelines

[03:42] <zopiac> i can give it a shot though
[03:42] <MenZa> zopiac: Cron is definitely the way to go.
[03:43] <MenZa> zopiac: I don't have any experience with it whatsoever, but it'll do what you want it to.
[03:43] <zopiac> MenZa: well if it isnt working, it isnt
[03:43] <RedSocrates> zopiac, what's the output of crontab -l
[03:44] <zopiac> RedSocrates: no crontab right now, but i just did a system reinstall recently
[03:44] <vavar> RedSocrates: does not show other results.
[03:44] <zopiac> RedSocrates: im making one right now
[03:45] <zopiac> does cron run as root?
[03:45] <MenZa> It does.
[03:45] <RedSocrates> vavar, I don't know what you mean by "does not show other results"
[03:45] <zopiac> ok thanks
[03:45] <Chr1z> what's a reasonable amount of time for a hw raid 5 controller to take to create a raid 10 array consisting of 4 1000gb sata drives?
[03:45] <Sedated> Chr1z... if you're starting fresh with blank drives it shouldn't take long at all, and you should be able to use them anyway while the controller does the work in the background
[03:46] <Sedated> Chr1z... probably depends on the controller though
[03:46] <Chr1z> Sedated: they were blank drives... yeah it said they were usable just will be slow until it's done building/verifying.  It's been 2 hrs and it's only at like 9% :-/
[03:46] <vavar> RedSocrates: the same Permission denied messages. then receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down and sometimes it complains about a existing pid file of dhclient but i remove that each time.
[03:47] <vavar> RedSocrates: actually the pid is a way too huge number. this must be some kind of bug.
[03:47] <Sedated> Chr1z... i've only ever created 1 RAID10 array in my life, but this was on a fancy new dell box with 300GB SAS drives but as i recall it didn't take more than about 15 minutes starting from scratch
[03:47] <webbb82> for some reason when i open the terminal it starts in home/documents insted of just home any ideas why
[03:48] <RedSocrates> vavar: Odd question, but have you tried restarting?  I remember having an error like this once, and it went away after a restart for whatever reason.  I think it may have required a full shutdown and cold boot
[03:48] <elad`> Before I take apart my thinkpad, does anyone know what interface (IDE/SATA/etc) laptops' HDDs usually use?
[03:48] <RedSocrates> vavar, there must be some underlying issue, but I don't know what it would be
[03:48] <altf2o> elad`: a lot of newer ones are using SATA. Surely your laptop manufacturer will list the specs on it's website. I'd consult that first at least.
[03:48] <vavar> RedSocrates: i restarted and it's still that way. that's why i seek out for ideas or possible solutions.
[03:49] <Chr1z> Sedated: this is a dell poweredge 1800 so I would assume it shouldn't be so slow... dunno if 1000gb makes it take forever or what
[03:49] <Bluey> webb82 -- http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=66
[03:49] <RedSocrates> vavar, did you even try a full shutdown?
[03:49] <elad`> And would taking out the HDD void the warranty? Lenovo.
[03:49] <vavar> RedSocrates: yes. off. no power. new boot from bios up to running.
[03:49] <Bluey> oops webbb82 -- http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=66
[03:50] <MenZa> elad`: Possibly. I suggest you check your manual; most manufacturers are like that, though.
[03:50] <zebastian> there should be a channel called ubuntu-learning where the bot has answers and explanations to everything
[03:50] <s4a> when i go to insert object (where you can make exponents etc look "real", how do you make the division line "look real" too? in openoffice.org writer?
[03:50] <Argos> ok here one...just killed the process boince ..ok..checked in prorcesses tabl...and its still running wt??
[03:50] <Sedated> Chr1z... obviously 1TB drives are regular 7200RPM SATA drives so they will definitely be slower without even taking into account how much bigger they are than typical SCSI or SAS drives, but even then creating a RAID array on most hardware controllers should be very quick because it doesn't have to sync anything.
[03:50] <webbb82> ya i was wondering why that didnt make scense
[03:50] <RedSocrates> vavar, hm... I *know* I encountered an error just like the one you're talking about once, but I can't remember for the life of me what I did to fix it
[03:50] <altf2o> elad`: i'd almost certainly think so, yes.
[03:50] <MenZa> zebastian: a bot can't know as much as a human being :)
[03:50] <Sedated> Chr1z.. unless you enabled the option to specifically sync the drives during creation of the array
[03:50] <Bluey> webbb82 that's how I did it...
[03:51] <altf2o> word to the wise, my first laptop take apart didn't go so well. YMMV for sure, but just keep that in mind. They're quite difficult to work with.
[03:51] <zebastian> MenZa: well of course not, but the humans would program the bot
[03:51] <Chr1z> Sedated: no... just turned on read/write cache since I have a BBU but nothing special/extra other than that
[03:51] <Argos> any ideas anyone..just killed a process..and its still running..
[03:51] <zebastian> and there would be people there dedicated to teach newbs likem e
[03:51] <RedSocrates> Argos, did you kill the process with "sudo"?  And if so, have you tried sudo kill -9 <pid>?
[03:51] <altf2o> ^
[03:51] <Chr1z> Sedated: it's still moving w/o any problems... just seems like it's taking an awful long time to me.. but I guess as long as it works right?
[03:51] <MenZa> zebastian: Why bother when people are around to answer questions? Most is available on the Ubuntu wiki anyway. In any case, this discussion is for #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[03:51] <Argos> sudo?
[03:51] <Argos> how
[03:51] <webbb82> Bluey: Desktop Icon Link to your Home Directory?????????????
[03:51] <Sedated> Chr1z ... that's what i was just going to say, yeah
[03:52] <Bluey> webbb82 isn't that what you wanted?
[03:52] <elad`> Yep, that looks like SATA. Great, I'll be able to recover my data.
[03:52] <RedSocrates> Argos, sudo lets you run single commands with superuser privileges, just type "sudo" before the command.  For example: sudo kill <pid>
[03:52] <vavar> RedSocrates: thank you. i'll find something soon.. *hope*
[03:52] <zebastian> MenZa: so there's not people saying "look, there's a shelf full of books right there for you"
[03:52] <webbb82> i got it thanks
[03:52] <RedSocrates> where <pid> is the process ID number
[03:52] <RedSocrates> vavar, good luck, wish I could be of more help
[03:52] <elad`> Is there a way to make WinXP capabale of handling whatever filesystem Ubuntu normally uses?
[03:52] <MenZa> zebastian: If you have a question regarding Ubuntu, ask it here. I'm sure people will be more than happy to help out.
[03:53] <MenZa> !ext3 | elad`
[03:53] <elad`> Thanks.
[03:53] <Bluey> webbb82 - sory I wasn't any assistance - thought that's what you wanted.
[03:53] <zebastian> MenZa: what's mkdir?
[03:53] <ouija_> lul
[03:53] <MenZa> zebastian: make directory. Create a directory with the command.
[03:53] <luist> my compiz is not working can someone help me?
[03:54] <zebastian> MenZa: how does it do it?
[03:54] <elad`> MenZa: Is it safe?
[03:55] <MenZa> zebastian: Now you're just being silly.
[03:55] <MenZa> elad`: Should be. I've had no issues.
[03:56] <altf2o> anyone ever experienced when editing files in gEdit, from a network mapped drive (and you're the ONLY one w/ write access) it keeps saying, "Document has been modified do you want to save anyways or cancel" ?
[03:58] <zaccour> how come voice don't work in gyachi?
[04:00] <Argos> anyone know what this is.........wcg_hcmd2_maxdo_6.14_i686-pc-linux-gnu

[04:17] <Sedated> Argos... that's pretty much what a distributed computing project does.  there's no package for it in ubuntu though so it had to have gotten on your system manually somehow

[04:21] <khelvan> Hello, I'm having problems with my Sound Blaster X-Fi with kernel 2.6.28-15 (on jaunty). It was running fine on earlier kernels, but I can't seem to get it to work. Everything is set to ALSA, and I re-installed the driver...
[04:22] <ratapoil> I' trying to use ario and mpd. I specified my music folder in etc/mpd.conf and I set /etc/mpd to be readable by others. when I open ario it detects the server but no songs appear in the databse. what could be wrong?
[04:22] <coz_> khelvan,   I am not real good at sound problems and if you cant get an answer there I would first go to #alsa channel and then #linux
[04:22] <DasEi> khelvan: the X-fi,  always a hassle, looking up alsa, sec
[04:24] <kramer3d> hi when i do man something, what editor is ubuntu using to read man files? is it emacs?
[04:24] <prince_jammys> kramer3d: less
[04:24] <prince_jammys> not an editor. a pager
[04:24] <kramer3d> ok
[04:24] <prince_jammys> at least that's the default.
[04:24] <uber_noober> not really I use nano
[04:24] <uber_noober> u can set it to be whatever
[04:24] <prince_jammys> you man pages open in nano?
[04:25] <zebastian> prince_jammys: can i install hardy on my friends netbook or should install the netbook option?
[04:25] <prince_jammys> you can set it to whatever you want, but that's not what default means.
[04:25] <prince_jammys> zebastian: I don't know.
[04:25] <zebastian> prince_jammys: thank you, it takes courage to admit that
[04:26] <coz_> kramer3d,   are you running    man  appname  in terminal?
[04:26] <zebastian> i'll go with hardy then
[04:26] <prince_jammys> zebastian: hell, it shouldn't.
[04:26] <uber_noober> prince_: yeah been using nano since forever
[04:26] <Guest5981> Hey guys
[04:26] <zebastian> prince_jammys:  i know, maybe you would like www.freedomainradio.com
[04:26] <DasEi> khelvan: yes, there was a development, did you install the latest alsa drivers ?
[04:27] <prince_jammys> will that try to sell me viagra?
[04:27] <kramer3d> coz_, yea
[04:27] <khelvan> DasEi, as far as I know I have the distro version of the alsa drivers
[04:28] <coz_> kramer3d,  did you want to view them with a different viewer other than with terminal?
[04:28] <DasEi> khelvan: then try : sudo modprobe snd-emu10k1
[04:28] <DasEi> khelvan: get an error message ?
[04:28] <coz_> kramer3d,   I believe there is something named  man2html  if you want to read man pages  from a different viewer
[04:29] <prince_jammys> there is. konqueror also understands urls in the form man:grep
[04:29] <coz_> kramer3d,  also w3m  or whichman  a man page search tool
[04:29] <prince_jammys> though that seems like a not-so-popular app nowadays.
[04:29] <kramer3d> coz_, thats ok less --help is just fine :)
[04:29] <kramer3d> i found out all i need to know :P
[04:29] <coz_> kramer3d,  ok :)
[04:30] <khelvan> DasEi - I got no output
[04:30] <Argos> has anyone noticed a memory increase in ubantu
[04:30] <prince_jammys> kramer3d: press h when in less, for a list of keys
[04:30] <DasEi> khelvan: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[04:30] <kramer3d> OH!
[04:30] <kramer3d> neat :D
[04:31] <khelvan> DasEi - ok, it shut down and started up, when it started up it set my volume to 0
[04:31] <DasEi> khelvan: you have alsamixer installed ?
[04:31] <lord_daemon> obiwan_ falaew
[04:31] <khelvan> DasEi - dumb question for you, but how do I check? :)
[04:32] <DasEi> khelvan: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui
[04:32] <prince_jammys> or ''alsamixer''
[04:32] <JohnCDI1> i need to unrar a bunch of files at once all under one directory any helps appreciated
[04:32] <khelvan> DasEi - thanks, I am installing it now (I am about to eat dinner, be back in a bit)
[04:32] <x2o> hi what does this mean? what does it do? part from my wmii configuration file
[04:33] <x2o> http://nopaste.info/7295b79d12.html
[04:33] <prince_jammys> JohnCDI1: i don't know that unrar allows multiple file arguments. you may need a loop (i think fileroller gui also opens them)
[04:33] <prince_jammys> for file in *.rar; do unrar e "$file"; done  # if you need a loop.
[04:34] <JohnCDI1> prince_jammys thanks
[04:34] <DasEi> khelvan: then : alsamixergui,  make sure unmuted (icons above sliders) , pcm up, too
[04:34] <prince_jammys> JohnCDI1: welcome. if you prefer gui, check fileroller
[04:35] <DasEi> khelvan: if that works, put the module in /etc/modules
[04:36] <iolaus> Hey all, does anyone know if there exists a init.d script for a dedicated quake 3 server?
[04:36] <iolaus> I'm not familiar with the scripting syntax and I'd rather not learn it all right now if I don't have to.
[04:37] <slide> Does gparted no longer recognize flash drives? my drive auto mounted as /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/disk
[04:37] <slide> I need to format it to fat16
[04:39] <Misantropo> i am having: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? i don't have synaptic running neither any other apt-get or aptitude running

[04:39] <DasEi> slide : it should, upper right corner > right device (in gparted)?
[04:39] <MenZa> Misantropo: Try pastebinning the output of ps aux
[04:39] <Misantropo> MenZa: sure, wait
[04:39] <ouija> wow
[04:40] <slide> DasEi, it only shows my primary harddrive
[04:40] <ouija> startkde & was fun
[04:40] <prince_jammys> Misantropo: you can use fuser to see who's using the file.
[04:40] <DasEi> slide : also, did you plug it after launching gparted ? reload geparted then , it's got be unmounted to repartition it
[04:40] <Misantropo> prince_jammys: thanks
[04:41] <slide> DasEi, nope before
[04:41] <prince_jammys> Misantropo: ie. the -vki in the command above interactively kills the processes.
[04:41] <legend2440> slide: in terminal type  sudo fdisk -l  is it listed there?
[04:41] <slide> legend2440, yup
[04:41] <sagaci> hi is there an easy gui way to find out which apps are using bandwidth
[04:42] <DasEi> slide: sudo fdisk-l finds it ? jaunty ?
[04:42] <legend2440> slide: strange then gparted should see it
[04:42] <DasEi> ah, above
[04:42] <slide> it does =\ and yea jaunty
[04:42] <slide> hrm fdisk -l says its already fat16, "/dev/mmcblk0p1               1        2287      994691+   6  FAT16"
[04:42] <slide> Does it know that for sure?
[04:43] <shane2peru> anyone out there with a Radeon HD 3100 ati graphics card?
[04:43] <prince_jammys> shane2peru: better to say the full problem, and hopefully if someone knows the solution they'll answer.
[04:43] <peojf> night
[04:44] <MenZa> !anyone | shane2peru
[04:44] <MenZa> Basically, what prince_jammys said :)
[04:44] <peojf> can anybody share me a sources.list that is actually working? mine is buging at lib6c
[04:44] <shane2peru> prince_jammys: if they don't have this card, they aren't going to be able to help. :)
[04:44] <prince_jammys> shane2peru: it don't work like that :)
[04:45] <DasEi> slide : strange, try with gnome-format ?
[04:45] <slide> k
[04:45] <shane2peru> prince_jammys: I spent 3 hours helping someone out yesterday with ati stuff here, but this is a nightmare
[04:45] <prince_jammys> ati stuff is indeed a nightmare.
[04:45] <xmnt> my ati is great
[04:45] <prince_jammys> but if you ask does anyone here use opera? (which i do), i probably wouldn't answer.
[04:46] <shane2peru> right, it depends on the card xmnt
[04:46] <shane2peru> and this card is just a disaster
[04:46] <shane2peru> Radeon HD 3100, no good for Linux period
[04:46] <xmnt> i had nvidia before, it was a junker - only issue w/ this ati is I have to select safe graphics mode for livecd
[04:47] <DasEi> slide : thats a mmc, how is it set ? in a reader or by usb-adaptor ?
[04:47] <shane2peru> xmnt: I can't use Ubuntu with this card at all, I finally have Suse running halfway decent with it, but I really want Ubuntu
[04:48] <slide> set?
[04:48] <slide> its in a card reader directly in the laptop
[04:48] <DasEi> slide : attached to the comp *
[04:48] <DasEi> ah
[04:48] <sicks> libdvdcss4 is installed, but I get libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1597 trying to open a known good DVD.  Any thoughts?
[04:48] <slide> Do the microSD cards have locks?
[04:48] <DasEi> slide : re-insertion also didn't do ?
[04:49] <xmnt> shane2peru, that sucks - same experience w/ my previous card - we'll ubuntu ran, X just crashed and burned once a day
[04:49] <Sedated> slide ... no but hte adapters do
[04:49] <slide> DasEi, nope
[04:49] <DasEi> yep

[04:53] <prince_jammys> slide: oh, misread.
[04:53] <sicks> prince_jammys, if you were asking me, yes
[04:54] <prince_jammys> ah, that was it. i mixed up the nicks.
[04:54] <sicks> all the information I have found points to libdvdcss# not being installed, but I covered that already.  Not sure where to go next.
[04:55] <prince_jammys> sicks: i thought it was libdvdcss2 that one needed.
[04:55] <marcinek> ;>
[04:55] <fez> user error: please insert new user and press any key
[04:56] <prince_jammys> i must have said something dumb, and i'm not aware of it. that sucks.
[04:56] <sicks> prince_jammys, where do I get that from?  No-go from Synaptic as well as apt-get.
[04:56] <prince_jammys> get it from medibuntu
[04:56] <MenZa> sicks: stupid question, but do you have medibuntu enabled?
[04:56] <prince_jammys> !medibuntu
[04:57] <DasEi> slide: mm, same situation here, cardreader on desktop, 1 gb mmc , all fine
[04:57] <sicks> MenZa, nope.

[04:58] <elad`> I've installed the software from here - http://www.fs-driver.org/ - but I still can't mount the partitions of my Ubuntu on WinXP. Am I missing a step? Is Ubuntu 9.04 normally using Ext3, not Ext2? Help?
[04:59] <bbalajirao> Can some one tell me how the update process works in Ubuntu. The files being downloaded seem to be smaller than the package files.
[04:59] <P2> Hello Friends. I have a quick question in ubuntu. How to open port 8000 in ubuntu. I am running a webserver in port 8000 and trying to access it from other box?
[04:59] <DasEi> slide : arharr, broken ?
[04:59] <slide> brand new =\
[04:59] <Biovore> P2: you running a firewall.  also if your running apache.. you need to add port 8000 to its list of ports to listen too..
[04:59] <DasEi> slide : does  gnome-format see it
[05:00] <Biovore> ?
[05:01] <FloridaGuy> in gnome menu....system...administration....nvidia x server settings....wont open...in terminal i typ nvidia-settings and get seg fault  ??\

[05:01] <slide> DasEi, i think its my laptop
[05:01] <slide> wont even recognize it now
[05:01] <Biovore> P2: in a shell you can do.  sudo iptables --list     This will show the current policy info and rules..
[05:02] <bbalajirao> I cant find /etc/ethers
[05:02] <slide> no thats not true, it finds it, just not loading it?
[05:02] <Biovore> P2: also netstat -nal will show everything thats listening.  Should see something on port 8000 if apache is setup right and listening.
[05:02] <prince_jammys> gizmobay: try pidof -x  , or pgrep
[05:02] <necro\> swt
[05:02] <necro\> ty freenode for making me teh $$ :)
[05:03] <DasEi> slide : inject it, sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart , sudo fdisk -l
[05:03] <elad`> How do I mount an Ext2 drive in WinXP?
[05:03] <gizmobay> thanks prince_jammys
[05:03] <prince_jammys> gizmobay: did that produce any output?
[05:03] <gizmobay> pidof -x did
[05:03] <prince_jammys> it's being run by a shell, likely
[05:03] <DasEi> slide mmc back in fdisk ?
[05:04] <slide> nope nothing
[05:04] <FloridaGuy> in gnome menu....system...administration....nvidia x server settings....wont open...in terminal i typ nvidia-settings and get seg fault    ??
[05:04] <gizmobay> Yeah it's a shell script. I kind of started thinking that right after I posted my message so it shows up when I run pidof sh
[05:05] <DasEi> elad`: google ext2ntfs
[05:05] <dsnyders> Hi all.  Is the command history of all of the terminals put into the same file?
[05:05] <prince_jammys> dsnyders: bash writes the history when you close a shell
[05:05] <slide> ah there we go found it finally
[05:05] <slide> aha, gnome-format sees it
[05:06] <prince_jammys> dsnyders: .... if it's set up to do so (which it is by default). it'll only save a specified number of lines, though.
[05:06] <slide> woah and now so does gparted, except it no longer sees my primary hdd
[05:06] <slide> lol
[05:06] <Paddy_NI> Hey I just installed cisco packet tracer 5.2 on ubuntu jaunty and I cannot figure out how to launch it
[05:06] <prince_jammys> dsnyders: maybe i'm answering the wrong question, and you're referring to some special history saved by the terminal program, and not by bash.
[05:07] <prince_jammys> i'm referring to: ~/.bash_history
[05:07] <dsnyders> prince_jammys, I'm trying to find a command, but it may have been in a different gnome terminal window
[05:07] <iceblock> Good morning Ubunbtu!!!!!!!!!
[05:07] <DasEi> slide : go ahaead ..
[05:07] <DasEi> elad`: http://www.fs-driver.org/

[05:12] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi guys, has anyone encountered problems after this last sys update? (e.g.: the new Version 2.6.27-14.41)
[05:12] <prince_jammys> sounds like you have :)
[05:13] <IpSe_DiXiT> prince_jammys: no i didnt, im waiting to no if other ppl did :D
[05:13] <prince_jammys> ah

[05:14] <prince_jammys> *heh

[05:18] <Argos> later all
[05:18] <brokenice> anyone used beos?
[05:18] <MenZa> !offtopic | brokenice
[05:19] <brokenice> BeOs
[05:19] <DasEi> IpSe_DiXiT: and #ubuntu-offtopic on how to patch kernel with rm, sir majesty
[05:23] <administrator_> i installed dbluge so how can i access it
[05:24] <kevdog> Seriously this channel is dead tonight
[05:25] <administrator_> i installed deluge torrent so how can i access it
[05:25] <huwaw69> is it worthy upgrading 8.10 to 9.04? is there no problems?
[05:27] <Dmole> huwaw69: only thing is sound uses more CPU
[05:28] <Dmole> huwaw69: and 9.04 has some small but nice improvements
[05:28] <huwaw69> Dmole so is it worth it>
[05:28] <legend2440> i think my NEC dvdrw died.  will  double layer dvdrw work with ubuntu?
[05:29] <kevdog> looking forward to 9.10 though
[05:29] <huwaw69> a connection problem Dmole did i miss something?
[05:29] <grikdog> does 8.10 work for you?
[05:29] <huwaw69> 8.10 works for me, but i wonder what is 9.04
[05:29] <kevdog> still using 8.10 here -- no reason to upgrade to 9.04
[05:29] <grikdog> it has caused me problems
[05:30] <huwaw69> what 8.10? caused you problem grikdog?
[05:30] <huwaw69> !java
[05:30] <grikdog> and solved one major one - wireless works on Dell laptop again
[05:30] <grikdog> no, 9.04 is the problem
[05:30] <huwaw69> ohhhh perhaps its better to stay on 8.10
[05:31] <grikdog> 9.04 killed all my video except youtube
[05:31] <Dmole> huwaw69: I beleve in upgrades
[05:31] <huwaw69> Dmole how come?
[05:31] <kevdog> wireless problems really arent tied to the kernel version since you can just reinstall dirvers that are by default loaded in the kernel
[05:32] <kevdog> sounds like you are having bcm or atheros chipset problems
[05:32] <Dmole> because it's in the spirit of making ubuntu better; file and fix bugs now not in 5 years
[05:36] <DJJeff> nVidia Corporation GeForce 7100/nForce 630i (rev a2) for Ubuntu 9.04

[05:40] <bazhang> nemesis1911, what is that, and what kind of Mac computer
[05:40] <nemesis1911> its a desktop.. AMD PHENOM 9550 2 gig ram.. on
[05:40] <kandjar`> hi there; question: is there a way to have widgets under gnome wm?? or more especially; do you have a good apps to read news (or google reader)???
[05:41] <bazhang> nemesis1911, that is hackintosh, and not supported here or anywhere
[05:41] <iceblock> conky rocks balls!
[05:41] <nemesis1911> right.. sorry .. ;-)
[05:41] <bazhang> iceblock, did you have a support question?
[05:42] <nemesis1911> but my original question how do I make a mac os partition in Ubuntu 9.04
[05:42] <Dmole> nemesis1911: mac uses HFS+
[05:42] <ingenioushax> How can I play .swf files without using FF?
[05:42] <bazhang> nemesis1911, as I said, that is not legal, nor supported anywhere; please desist
[05:42] <nemesis1911> ... ok ok
[05:43] <iceblock> bazhang : Yes, how come my Sapphire 4870x2 dosent work under Ubuntu?
[05:43] <bazhang> iceblock, what have you tried, what errors have you gotten
[05:44] <exodus_ms> ingenioushax, Have you tried opening the flash file with movie player, vlc etc?
[05:44] <ingenioushax> exodus_ms: I have tried using the movie player but says it doesn't support the file format... Would I have to install the VNC player?
[05:44] <iceblock> Bazhang, cchtml.com
[05:44] <airtonix> i have a ftp server that limits me to 2 connections at a time and if i don't do anything for 30secs it disconnects me....this is causing problems with nautilus and gedit...how to noop a server?
[05:44] <ingenioushax> VLC**
[05:44] <administrator_> i installed deluge torrent so how can i access it
[05:45] <lstarnes> administrator_: it should be available somewhere in the applications menu
[05:45] <DougM> does anyone know of an alternative to ProxyFirewall for ubuntu?
[05:45] <JMowery> Can anyone here tell me if a process that reads as php5-cgi means it is using fastcgi? I have been trying to get nginx to work correctly.
[05:45] <JMowery> Or should the process read as php5-fcgi?
[05:45] <ingenioushax> DougM:: Try searching SPhirewall
[05:46] <relentless> UGH
[05:46] <lstarnes> JMowery: I think that is using fcgi
[05:46] <relentless> rage :./
[05:46] <DougM> ingenioushax: ill chck it uot thanks
[05:46] <exodus_ms> ingenioushax, na, I mean vlc, well that is a user preference, some like it over other players.
[05:46] <iceblock> Bazhang, I;ve tried restricted drivers,OSE drivers. it just hangs
[05:46] <lstarnes> administrator_: or you could open a terminal and use the command deluge
[05:46] <JMowery> lstarnes, should the php5-cgi processes be using a lot of memory? I have 256 MB of memory, and I have for of those processes using about 50% of the entire memory.
[05:46] <ingenioushax> exodus_ms: Thanks, ill try it out right quick, see how it works.
[05:46] <JMowery> Not sure if that is norma.
[05:46] <lstarnes> JMowery: I'm not sure either
[05:47] <relentless> I installed ubuntu netbook remix I dont have enough ram so how do I go back to the orginal panels
[05:47] <iceblock> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide -----but i havent installed trying catalyst 9.9
[05:47] <relentless> I tried desktop-switcher
[05:47] <relentless> It sitll shows the ugly netbook bar I even made a new user and it still had the bar
[05:48] <ingenioushax> exodus_ms: It didn't work, it opens it as an audio file and doesn't play anything, No video... IDK, it's just kind of a hassle to watch the video online because I can't pause or scene select anything.
[05:48] <exodus_ms> ingenioushax, have you searched the package manager for  swfdec-gnome
[05:49] <airtonix> i have a ftp server that limits me to 2 connections at a time and if i don't do anything for 30secs it disconnects me....this is causing problems with nautilus and gedit...how to noop a server?
[05:50] <ingenioushax> exodus_ms: That works, I guess the whole scene select and pause thing isn't available with this particular video, must have been recorded. :( (User error, LoL)
[05:50] <administrator_> i reinstalled deluge but its not appear in application menu or systerm
[05:50] <exodus_ms> ingenioushax, I'm not sure as to what other stuff you have installed as far as multimedia is concerned, but you could look at gnash and swf-player as well
[05:51] <Bluey> I am having trouble with identd - could someone take a look please?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/271286/
[05:51] <xmnt> administrator_, you may need to restart x
[05:51] <ingenioushax> exodus_ms: I will do so, thanks.
[05:51] <xmnt> administrator_, but it should appear under the internet menu
[05:51] <administrator_> restrat computer ?
[05:52] <xmnt> administrator_, no ... restart x
[05:52] <Re|ent|ess> administrator_: login and log out
[05:52] <xmnt> administrator_, logout and baack in
[05:52] <xmnt> I just discovered strace
[05:52] <administrator_> ok guys
[05:52] <Re|ent|ess> So, anyone know how to restore ubuntu to defalt?
[05:53] <xmnt> Re|ent|ess, define default?
[05:53] <administrator_> thanks all of u it working under internet
[05:54] <Re|ent|ess> xmnt: Well I installed ubuntu netbook remix cause I have a netbook but I didnt know it require 512 ram I have 256 so I just want to use the default ubuntu panels but its not going back to the default state
[05:55] <xmnt> Re|ent|ess, don't have a netbook
[05:55] <kennyyu> hi there, what can i install so that i can maintain a queue of batch jobs?
[05:55] <jlw> http://paste.ubuntu.com/271850/  anyone have any ideas on this?
[05:55] <kandjar`> what google talk client do you guys use?
[05:55] <xmnt> kennyyu, you mean daemons
[05:55] <Re|ent|ess> xmnt: I understand that but I was to have the orginal ubuntu-desktop
[05:55] <xmnt> Re|ent|ess, i understood as well but I still don't have a netbook
[05:56] <kennyyu> xmnt: i want a way to have my OS users wait in a queue before they execute their programs
[05:56] <kennyyu> xmnt: i heard of something like qstat... not sure.
[05:56] <Capso> I have a Sony Vaio with an Intel Centrino CPU, and am trying to boot the Ubunto Desktop CD, but it just hangs at "ISOLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 Copyright (C) 1993-2008 H. Peter Anvin"
[05:57] <Capso> Any ideas about that?
[05:58] <xmnt> kennyyu, i don't think qstat is what you're looking for ... that only requests the status of things
[05:59] <kennyyu> xmnt: ya...
[05:59] <sid_> hola
[05:59] <kennyyu> xmnt: i'm thinking whether it's something called pbs..
[05:59] <sid_> alguien  que hable español..
[05:59] <xmnt> kennyyu, maybe SQS ... i've never done anything like that so take my advice w/ a grain of salt
[06:00] <airtonix> i have a ftp server that limits me to 2 connections at a time and if i don't do anything for 30secs it disconnects me....this is causing problems with nautilus and gedit...how to noop a server?
[06:00] <tehbaut> can anyone recommend a good speech to text platform for linux/ubuntu?
[06:00] <kennyyu> xmnt: heh alright thanks ;)
[06:00] <tehbaut> I'm using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 on win7, atm
[06:01] <Re|ent|ess> JAWS
[06:01] <tehbaut> It's good, but if I'm going to move to Ubuntu full time, I need some kind of alternate :)
[06:01] <tehbaut> how good is JAWS?
[06:01] <sid_> kmouth
[06:01] <xmnt> tehbaut, i looked into this a few years ago, didn't seem to find any good solutions on linux but let me know if you find one
[06:02] <jlw> http://paste.ubuntu.com/271850/ any ideas on this dpkg error I'm having?
[06:02] <tehbaut> does it, or anything else, support auto-punctuation (like comma/period-insertion, and such)?
[06:03] <xmnt> jlw, possibly a corrupted dl?
[06:03] <jlw> that message confuses me, I don't know why it mentions firefox
[06:04] <thedancingdeer> i cannot find latex2pdf! how do i use it? any particular repository?
[06:04] <xmnt> jlw, i thought maybe you were trying to install firefox
[06:04] <jlw> I was trying to install build-essential
[06:04] <jlw> kind of baffling
[06:04] <xmnt> jlw, apt-get install build-essential
[06:04] <jlw> that's how I ended up with that error message
[06:05] <xmnt> jlw, do you have FF installed?
[06:05] <jlw> I tried to install xchat, too. same error.
[06:05] <jlw> what's that?
[06:05] <jlw> oh haha firefox
[06:05] <jlw> yeah, I'm using it now
[06:06] <kevdog> Is there a way to resume a broken ssh session if screen wasn't orginally being used?
[06:06] <xmnt> jlw, sounds strange - did you do an update in aptitude
[06:06] <jlw> I've been googling, all I can find is confusing stuff about NFS and mounting
[06:06] <jlw> just aptitude update? yeah
[06:07] <jlw> that gives me no errors, it's only when I try to install a package
[06:07] <xmnt> jlw, install through synaptic instead of terminal ... see if that works
[06:07] <jlw> I tried that as well
[06:07] <jlw> same error
[06:08] <xmnt> jlw, did you remove --purge FF?
[06:08] <jlw> let me try
[06:08] <jlw> hmm, the remove command gives me the same exact error...
[06:09] <xmnt> jlw, fresh install?
[06:10] <jlw> yeah, I installed and then updated everything, rebooted, broken
[06:10] <z3r0> i need help with GParted, it wont let me format in ntfs
[06:11] <xmnt> jlw, if it were me I'd do another install since you haven't really got much setup yet .. sounds like something went awry
[06:11] <jlw> I installed on and updated on another system yesterday without issue
[06:11] <tonyyarusso> z3r0: do you have ntfsprogs installed?
[06:11] <z3r0> let me check
[06:11] <jlw> yeah, I probably will
[06:11] <xmnt> jlw, you could probably track it down but it might take longer to do that
[06:12] <z3r0> no i did not,but iam getting it now
[06:12] <jlw> I tried dpkg --configure -a, no difference
[06:13] <jlw> blahblahblah
[06:13] <z3r0> thanks tonyyarusso it worked
[06:14] <tonyyarusso> jlw: Do you use NFS for anything?
[06:14] <bucky> jlw, your repo is on NFS?
[06:14] <jlw> I'm not even sure what that is
[06:14] <laughzilla> hi :) anyone know a "form generator script" that can be installed into ubuntu ?  i want to create some very online simple registration forms, the kind used for registering professional contacts for a conference.
[06:14] <jlw> like on a server? as in not on my computer?
[06:15] <tonyyarusso> jlw: right
[06:15] <jlw> it sure shouldn't be, this is a fresh install, I haven't done anything
[06:16] <xmnt> jlw, he's asking if your connecting to like us.ubuntu.com for your updates
[06:16] <jlw> ah
[06:17] <MenZa> laughzilla: Sounds more like something you'd want to use a scripting language for, like PHP. Forms like that should be available online once you have PHP.
[06:17] <jlw> I just checked in synaptic and it's trying to download from server from united states instead of main server
[06:17] <jlw> let me try main server
[06:17] <kosh1> anyone know what driver to use for intel g41 onboard graphics
[06:17] <xmnt> jlw, what's /etc/apt/sources.list look like?
[06:17] <K7522> jlw, I've heard some errors trying from the US server, main should work.
[06:18] <kevdog> My shell script file sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade  never runs the second command anymore?  Ideas?
[06:18] <jlw> same error
[06:18] <jlw> I'll paste my sources.list, brb
[06:18] <Bluey> hi -- could someone help me with an identd problem?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/271286/
[06:19] <jlw> http://paste.ubuntu.com/271865/ it should all be default
[06:20] <xmnt> jlw, yeah that's fine ... i just checked and repos are working fine ... but still sounds funky
[06:20] <kirtan> hello everybody, please recommend me a feed reader for xubuntu (a light one)
[06:20] <xmnt> kirtan, liferea
[06:20] <Bluey> kirtan -- rss feed?  akregator
[06:20] <jlw> main server isn't working for me either, I'll probably just do another install
[06:20] <jlw> that's kind of the easy way out though
[06:21] <xmnt> jlw, can you ping it/
[06:21] <jlw> what's the server again?
[06:21] <kirtan> thanks xmnt, bluey

[06:24] <jlw> I swear I used to know what some of this stuff meant, I've been using windows the last couple years, I don't know anything anymore
[06:25] <jlw> also, anyone know why fglrx gives me a garbled login screen in jaunty?
[06:30] <wrapster> unable to install skype can anyone help?
[06:31] <laughzilla> menza - yes i can write the form (or try to) manually , but i'm trying to find an app like "Form2Email" or any of the commercial form generator applications, so that i don't have to manually write code for every single form.
[06:32] <MenZa> laughzilla: I don't see the practicality in it, really; it's a five-minute write job - if you need a lot of forms though, I guess it makes sense
[06:33] <laughzilla> menza - yeah, if it's about a single form, i can code it. but this is about giving my interns a list of about 300 different types of registration forms that they have to create.
[06:33] <MenZa> ahh, laughzilla
[06:34] <MenZa> laughzilla: I bet there's tools on the intermanets that can do that - you write up the different form fields, and it produces the php script and markup you'd need.
[06:34] <MenZa> laughzilla: I'd have no idea what to search for to fin dit, though
[06:34] <MenZa> find it*
[06:34] <laughzilla> :) yeah there are some WinApps that do it but you know ... i don't wanna put windows on any box just for this! :)   anyway thx menza. i'll keep digging.
[06:35] <MenZa> laughzilla: np - good luck with it :)
[06:35] <MenZa> laughzilla: alternatively, if you can't find any, you could attempt to run them in !wine.
[06:35] <laughzilla> hahah!!!!! :D
[06:35] <laughzilla> wine is something i drink!
[06:36] <airtonix> i have a ftp server that limits me to 2 connections at a time and if i don't do anything for 30secs it disconnects me....this is causing problems with nautilus and gedit...how to noop a server?
[06:36] <airtonix> yay now its crashing nautilus and gedit
[06:36] <airtonix> three cheers
[06:36] <airtonix> hip hip...fail
[06:38] <dustan> how do i find out my ip address
[06:38] <m2ky> ifconfig
[06:39] <m2ky> if you in a local net, you need to trace out, and get your real internet ip address, i think.
[06:40] <dustan> yeah i just want my local network ip
[06:41] <m2ky> trace out. use the command "trace www.google.com" get the first class b ip address, maybe that's it.
[06:41] <m2ky> sorry, you need to use "traceroute" on a linux workstation.
[06:42] <dustan> oh ok i was just going to ask why trace wasn't working lol
[06:42] <m2ky> that's because your route don't response you.
[06:43] <chace> hi
[06:43] <chace> anyone home?
[06:44] <m2ky> it seems that traceroute use the same package response as "ping" which is "icmp", so maybe your route just dump the "icmp" package, and you dont get a response.
[06:44] <m2ky> hi, chace, i am.
[06:45] <dustan> yeah see this is one thing i dont get i love linux and will never go back to windows but all you has type in ipconfig and it gives it right outve to do in windows i
[06:46] <m2ky> are you sure?
[06:46] <KB1JWQ> dustan: Kinda like ifconfig does in Linux? :-)
[06:48] <m2ky> dustan: if you just type ifconfig in your linux box, you can get your address,but its printout is very different from ipconfig in windows box.
[06:49] <dustan> yeah i see that but i dont see the address it should be 192.168.1.??? but i dont have anything like that in there
[06:50] <m2ky> dustan: use "ifconfig | grep inet"
[06:50] <KIAaze> hi, what's the difference between ubuntu servers and freenode? It seems I can connect to the ubuntu servers with my freenode password. O.o
[06:51] <mr_scorpion> hey folks. I just upgraded to jaunty.  now my laptop doesn't detect my usb wireless adapter.  tried rebooting but no change.  any advice?
[06:51] <m2ky> KIAaze, ubuntu server is a linux server a operating system, and freenode is a irc chat server on internet, it is a application on servers.
[06:51] <dustan> nvm guys im an idiot on my modem i have the ethernet going to the router but i have my laptop plugged into usb on the modem
[06:52] <KIAaze> well, I meant irc.ubuntu.com ;)
[06:52] <dustan> sorry but thanks for the help
[06:52] <KIAaze> but apparently it's a DNS alias for irc.freenode.com
[06:52] <KIAaze> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1239527
[06:52] <Sedated> KIAaze irc.ubuntu.com just forwards to frenode
[06:52] <Sedated> yeah
[06:53] <m2ky> KIAaze, you need to check irc on wikipedia..

[06:58] <paolo> hi * ... I use ubuntu but whenever I try to use a kde app, all the menus are very weird. What can I check
[06:59] <KIAaze> it's probably KDE4
[06:59] <KIAaze> what do you mean by weird?
[06:59] <relentless> FFFFFFFFF
[06:59] <KIAaze> is it usable?
[06:59] <mr_scorpion> ok.  lsusb says the adapter is connected.  how do I tell the system to start using it?
[07:01] <mr_scorpion> the device is not being managed under wireless connections

[07:02] <paolo> does anyone know why everytime I try to use a kde4 application (such as digikam) all the menus are very weird, so that the application is unusable?

[07:22] <MindSpark> histo, it'svery low on headphones
[07:22] <histo> kansan: aparently the gem update command is disabled so you would have to install from source. Or build your own deb

[07:24] <histo> kansan: you may also want to search the forums. Or launchpad ppa might have some precompiled debs already
[07:25] <histo> pythagoras: you can use wine and run winmx if you can't find a linux client

[07:28] <demonspork> U-b-u-n-t-u, that assumption incorrect
[07:28] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I am happy I am wrong

[07:30] <FreedomYug> UBUNTU, you could install amd64 on your machine
[07:30] <FreedomYug> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64
[07:30] <homebrewcider> hey there, using Xubuntu 9.04. Don't know what's happened, but for some reason my taskbar icons are all gone, where would the config for that be kept please?
[07:32] <FreedomYug> x86_64 was designed by AMD, so its named as amd64,  amd licensed the design to intel, which became Intel 64. so basically its all same
[07:32] <demonspork> homebrewcider, is this problem persistent after you log out and log back in?
[07:32] <FreedomYug> and you could isntall it on any 64bit intel machine u-b-u-n-t-u
[07:32] <histo> MindSpark: did you check the PCM level in the volume options?
[07:33] <MindSpark> histo, yes, like I said, everything up to 100%
[07:33] <homebrewcider> yes
[07:34] <histo> MindSpark: click preferences and see if you can checkbox PCM2 and make sure that is all the way up.
[07:34] <zebastian> where can i increase the number of desktops on gnome?
[07:34] <zebastian> i clicked on appearances but didn't see an option

[07:35] <EuphoniC> Hi guys, can I ask some questions about RAID5? I'm about to do my first RAID and I'm confused how to get my data over there (some unfortunate circumstances)
[07:35] <Nozy> EuphoniC:
[07:35] <Nozy> as a way
[07:36] <foosball> I ran apt-get on the ivtv-utils package and it is demanding to install postfix. i assume that is an error because it has nothing to do with ivtv afaik
[07:36] <histo> MindSpark: what type of sound card do you ahve btw?
[07:36] <Nozy> EuphoniC:  are you moving the full disk ?
[07:36] <Nozy> or just say home
[07:37] <zebastian> does anyone here know
[07:37] <zebastian> how to increase the number
[07:37] <MindSpark> histo, intel built in the eee
[07:37] <revenge> does anyone know if there is a version of Daphne (laser disc emulator) for jaunty?
[07:37] <zebastian> of desktops in gnome
[07:37] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  If you're not using compiz, right click on the desktop switcher (in the lower right).
[07:37] <FreedomYug> zebastian ,  right click on workspace, go to preferences, and choose number of workspaces
[07:37] <zebastian> i am using compiz
[07:37] <zebastian> and i just made my laptops gui look like a mac
[07:37] <MindSpark> 82801G
[07:37] <zebastian> i mean from the menu
[07:37] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  Then it should be settable using compizconfig.
[07:38] <EuphoniC> Nozy: i have 3 new 1TB drives but the system drive is faulty so I would like to use a drive from the windows computer to reinstall the system
[07:38] <EuphoniC> but first it has to be emptied, which would mean move the data to one of the 1TB
[07:38] <zebastian> daveamayombo: what's compizconfig?
[07:39] <histo> MindSpark: i'm searching the forums hol dup
[07:39] <EuphoniC> can I raid5 on the existing system and then reinstall the system and the RAID5 will be possible to mount on the new ubuntu server installation?
[07:39] <jlw> a configuration utility for compiz
[07:39] <kazon> hello there
[07:39] <Nozy> hmm think so
[07:39] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  I think in 9.04, for example, it's in the package compizconfig-settings-manager.  Install that, and it should show up in System -> Administration -> CompizCompiz Settings Manager
[07:39] <kazon> i have just Ubuntu
[07:39] <kazon> and have lots of inane questions
[07:40] <MindSpark> histo, thanks, been trying to find something useful for weeks
[07:40] <Nozy> EuphoniC: get VirtualBox and do a test
[07:40] <Nozy> install it on it with raid5
[07:40] <Nozy> then try a reinstall
[07:40] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  Sorry, System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig Settings Manager.
[07:40] <Nozy> that way if you kill it is ok
[07:40] <wrapster> can anyone help me setup the microphone on ubuntu 9.04... Im new to this
[07:41] <wrapster> audio o/p  is working.. only mike is not.
[07:41] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  Once you're in there, go to General Options, and click on the tab for Desktop Size.
[07:41] <zebastian> daveamayombo: i'm on hardy
[07:41] <zebastian> no compiz config settings manager
[07:42] <oztrout> hi all :)
[07:42] <kazon> I'm running on a Lenovo SE10 netbook - i've got  monitor attached.. i can set Ubuntu to use the laptop screen size ONLY if the monitor is off - else the laptop screen won't 'mirror' and it becomes an odd area of extended desktop. what i'm tryin to do is set the monitor to 1024/568 but the option is not available
[07:43] <EuphoniC> Nozy: another perhaps better alterantive would be if it's somehow possible to install the system on the software RAID5 so I only have one disk - can it be done?
[07:43] <histo> MindSpark: most people are suggesting to switch to oss which can produce higher sound output.
[07:43] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  Hmm.  Have you tried right clicking on the workspace switcher anyways?  I'm not certain it won't work with compiz...  If not, I guess I don't have a good idea.
[07:43] <kazon> (i'd download the netbook remix but i don't have enough bandwidth capacity atm)
[07:44] <zebastian> daveamayombo: there's no workspace switcher i have a macbooklike dock
[07:44] <Nozy> EuphoniC: I have done it with my web server ( /  was raid 1 and /home with raid 5 ) install the new os and then remount the /home )
[07:45] <histo> MindSpark: I would check this out

[07:45] <jlw> anyone else have an issue with their front audio port not working?
[07:46] <kazon> nope
[07:46] <kazon> i've got a monitor issue
[07:46] <daveamayombo> zebastian:   You said it's gnome...  Do you still have gnome panels running?
[07:46] <sarthor> Hi, i installed ubuntu 9.04 dual boot with xp, now my xp says "ntdlr is missing" and ubuntu is working fine,
[07:46] <Celroc> jlw: Not really, but I've had issues with sound cards, if that's what you mean
[07:46] <zebastian> daveamayombo: nope
[07:46] <histo> MindSpark: in that post there are two solutions
[07:47] <jlw> sound hardware related, the audio port on the front of my pc doesn't work, only the rear
[07:47] <sarthor> Hi, i installed ubuntu 9.04 dual boot with xp, now my xp says "ntdlr is missing" and ubuntu is working fine, how to fix that ntdlr problem, i dont want to install or format again, HELP
[07:47] <kazon> sarthror: unpleasant.. i used a partition manager in windows first
[07:47] <kazon> just made an area of unused space for it to use
[07:47] <sarthor> kazon, now what is the solution, i googled but no success, i know i made a mistake.
[07:47] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  Then I'm definitely not sure what to do.  Out of curiosity, what are you using to provide the mac-like dock you mentioned?
[07:47] <kazon> sarthor: i'm a newb myself in this regard
[07:48] <feisar> hi guys I need some help. My system froze completely and I couldn't use ctr alt bacspace so I hi the reset button now I just get 'crc error --system halted' after grub. What can I do?
[07:48] <MindSpark> histo, ok, I'll give them a shot, thanks
[07:48] <sarthor> kazon, Ok. we are trying to learn, this chanel help a lot.
[07:48] <Celroc> sarthor: Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but if you have a WinXP install disc, I think there is an option somewhere if you boot from it to repair your installation.
[07:48] <kazon> i'm still trying to work out how to get admin status (the $ should become #) it's been a while since ive used linux
[07:48] <zebastian> daveamayombo: how do you take a screenshot in *buntu?
[07:48] <kazon> also the screen issue is annoying atm
[07:49] <jlw> ntldr is the windows loader, sort of what grub is to ubuntu, I believe?
[07:49] <sarthor> Celroc, Yes, but my XP is not going forward, just a black screen, i know it cant understand ext3 partition.
[07:49] <Celroc> kazon: I think the command is "sudo su" plus password, but I'm not sure
[07:49] <kazon> Celroc: thanks, i'll try
[07:49] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  On mine, Applications -> Accessories -> Take Screenshot.
[07:49] <jlw> grub could be pointing to the wrong partition, or you wiped the xp partition by mistake
[07:49] <jlw> but let's hope not
[07:49] <Spike1506> how can i use apt-get when using a socks host?
[07:49] <sarthor> Celroc, my xp cd is working great on other computer,
[07:50] <Lemurian> Is `make-kpkg' meant to be in the repository for ubuntu jaunty? and is it under an alternate name or something
[07:50] <Celroc> sarthor: It won't work on the one you need it to?
[07:50] <sarthor> jlw, yes
[07:50] <kazon> Celroc: that worked.. how do I change back? lol
[07:50] <Lemurian> sudo apt-get install make-kpkg - doesn't hack it
[07:50] <Celroc> "exit", I think
[07:50] <altf2o> ^
[07:50] <kazon> i downloaded xchat to compile it but the makefile didn't work :(
[07:50] <kazon> ahh
[07:50] <sarthor> Celroc, no if i boot from win98 cd, so its booting, but now from XP cd.
[07:51] <Celroc> sarthor: That's strange. It won't boot from the XP CD?
[07:51] <zebastian> daveamayombo: to answer your question, here: http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23
[07:52] <sarthor> Celroc, its really not strange, i lot such problems mentinoed on the internet, but they show the solution of killdisk, and i dont wanna kill any disk, or reformate
[07:52] <kazon> is there a tool to set non-standard resolutions? I'm trying to get netbook resolution on a CRT monitor so that it mirrors with the netbook display
[07:52] <zebastian> brb
[07:53] <Celroc> sarthor: Do you have more than on hard drive in your computer?
[07:53] <sarthor> Celroc, yes, i have 3 harddisk, i removed one, its now 2 hard disks
[07:54] <feisar> what is the correct thing to do if Ubuntu freezes now that 'ctrl-alt-bksp' etc. has been removed?
[07:54] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  If your final setup looks like the one on that page, you should still have a gnome panel along the top of your screen (in the form of the menu bar).
[07:54] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  (I think?)
[07:54] <altf2o> i'll use: ctrl+alt+f2 to get to a cmd prompt and: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:54] <Celroc> sarthor: Do you happen to have XP installed on one hard disk and Ubuntu on another?
[07:55] <feisar> daveamayombo: if ubuntu has frozen surely that will not work?
[07:55] <sarthor> Celroc, i have one 40 and other 80 GB hard, Both OSes are installed on 80 GB hard
[07:55] <Reactor> @echo ok bb man
[07:55] <kazon> anyone good at monitors/resolutions?
[07:55] <feisar> daveamayombo: in fact ctrl+alt+f2 doesn't work for me now
[07:55] <daveamayombo> zebastian:  If so, you can right-click on it, click "Add to panel", and choose the workspace switcher.
[07:55] <Celroc> sarthor: Oh... Sorry, but I don't know if I can help...
[07:55] <daveamayombo> feisar:  Me?
[07:56] <altf2o> if all else fails, reset :).
[07:56] <foosball> there seems to be a lot of people who have the same problem i have with mplayer crashing yet no resolution
[07:56] <Celroc> sarthor: Is the HD with both OSes first in the booting order in BIOS? (Or, was it at the time of installing Ubuntu)?
[07:56] <sarthor> Celroc, i think i deleted the win xp MBR, nwo am confused.
[07:56] <feisar> daveamayombo: yeah ctrl+alt+f2 doesn't work for me now
[07:56] <jlw> can you mount the windows partition from ubuntu just to make sure it's still there?
[07:56] <indus> sarthor: restore it with the win xp cd then
[07:57] <sarthor> Celroc, yes, 80GB is on the 1st.
[07:57] <sarthor> indus, my winxp Cd cant handle ext3 partition, and get confused, xp cd is not able to go forwared, just a black screen,
[07:57] <daveamayombo> feisar:  Are you zebastian?  I didn't see you switch...
[07:57] <Celroc> sarthor: Hrm.... ok, I think I'm running out of questions to interrogate you with...
[07:58] <feisar> daveamayombo: no
[07:58] <indus> sarthor: you have a windows partition i believe? could you state your problem again please
[07:59] <Celroc> During installing Ubuntu, did you choose where to install the bootloader (it's a setting at the final screen before Ubuntu actually begins to install)?
[07:59] <sarthor> indus, yes, i installed xp 1st, then i installed ubuntu, now xp giving me error, ntdlr missing,
[07:59] <daveamayombo> feisar:  I'm not sure...  I wasn't addressing an answer to you originally.
[07:59] <indus> sarthor: ok and? did u try with recovery/rescue cd?
[07:59] <nomad77> sarthor: try sudo apt-get install ms-sys and use it sudo ms-sys /dev/foo. it'll write a new generic xp-type /mbr. but make sure your drive,is correct
[07:59] <sarthor> Celroc, during installing ubuntu, i deleted some partitions, and i creat new /boot
[07:59] <feisar> daveamayombo: ok np
[08:00] <sarthor> indus, ubuntu recovrty cd will not recover my ntldr i think
[08:00] <indus> sarthor: windows recovery cd i mean
[08:00] <kazon> netbook dislay at 1024x568 trying to mirror it on a CRT - it will only go to 640/480 as a mirror mode and won't let the monitor go to 1024x568 even though it supports it?
[08:00] <sarthor> windows not booting
[08:00] <sarthor> nomad77, ok.
[08:00] <jlw> sarthor: are you sure you didn't delete the partition windows was installed on?
[08:01] <indus> sarthor:you need to boot from windows cd then fix it i believe
[08:01] <sarthor> jlw, i can see windows from ubuntu, its there still.
[08:01] <jlw> oh, okay
[08:01] <Celroc> sarthor: Ok. Like the other person said, you should try to mount the XP partition to make sure it is ok (Should be one of the disks in Places>Computer). If you didn't change the bootloader option at the end, then it should be at default setting and working.... hmm
[08:01] <sarthor> indus, windows cd is not booting, black screen
[08:02] <sarthor> nomad77, no such bakage, sys
[08:02] <Celroc> sarthor: Oops, I just thought of something
[08:02] <nomad77> ms-sys
[08:02] <indus> sarthor: ok this is a cd problem then
[08:02] <sarthor> nomad77, yes, couldnt fiind pakage ms-sys
[08:02] <Celroc> sarthor: You may need to switch a BIOS setting to let the CDROM drive boot first, if your hard disk is first in boot order
[08:03] <sarthor> indus, CD is OK, i have 3 DVD rom drives. and have 3 computers. all working great
[08:03] <kazon> netbook dislay at 1024x568 trying to mirror it on a CRT - it will only go to 640/480 as a mirror mode and won't let the monitor go to 1024x568 even though it supports it?
[08:03] <indus> sarthor: this cd boots fine on other systems?
[08:03] <sarthor> Celroc, CD rom is on 1st boot device,
[08:03] <codeshah> hey guys, I need PHP4 and PHP5 on my ubuntu system, PHP4 mainly for testing some older apps and development...
[08:03] <codeshah> any clues?
[08:03] <sarthor> indus, yes,
[08:03] <indus> sarthor: hmm strange, boot from cd should boot the cd i guess
[08:04] <jlw> you can try grub superdisk or whatever it's called
[08:04] <sarthor> indus, i booted with 98 also, and xp also says press any key to boot from CD rom, and i pressed key to.. and it boots but then black srreen
[08:04] <daveamayombo> I'm hoping to have my wireless card get configured at boot-up in 9.04 desktop edition.  Can Network Manager handle this?
[08:04] <jlw> that restores mbr
[08:05] <indus> sarthor: the cd rom is bad then?
[08:05] <sarthor> i need to give commands, like fixboot, fixmbr, but i cant go to dos in xp
[08:05] <sarthor> indus, i have 3 CD roms with xp, and 3 DVD super multi drive, and 3 computers,
[08:05] <sarthor> also have win98 bootable cd.
[08:05] <Celroc> indus: Apparently not, actually. It seems as though the XP CD works in other computers
[08:05] <sarthor> and also have GAG bootable cd.
[08:07] <jlw> sarthor: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ you might try that
[08:07] <indus> Celroc: iam talking about the cd drive itself ,obvious
[08:07] <sarthor> if i become able to be boot from xp cd, then i will press R, and will go to dos, and 2 commads will solve ma problem.
[08:07] <Celroc> indus: Oh. My bad

[08:07] <sarthor> nomad77, i am on jaunty
[08:08] <sarthor> indus, i can boot from live ubuntu cd.
[08:08] <nomad77> theres a link there if you look
[08:08] <indus> sarthor: hmm
[08:08] <Celroc> sarthor: Actually, putting the Windows bootloader back may not be a good idea. I don't think you'll be able to boot into Ubuntu if you put it back
[08:08] <indus> sarthor: are there any other ways of restoring ntldr i guessing
[08:09] <indus> Celroc: naah thats easy to fix, i help with that
[08:09] <zebastian> is there a better messaging service than kopete?
[08:09] <indus> zebastian: better?

[08:10] <KB1JWQ> irssi with bittlbee
[08:10] <Celroc> indus: Yeah, you're right. Sorry, must be getting tired or something
[08:10] <indus> sarthor: hmm could you try check boot options again, when the windows cd boots it has some unique messages do u see amny
[08:10] <sarthor> indus, yes
[08:10] <indus> sarthor: could you state 1 message
[08:10] <zebastian> for some reason i have a dead icon for kopete under internet and one that works
[08:11] <zebastian> i want to get rid of that dead icon on the apps internet menu
[08:11] <sarthor> indus, let me boot that pc.
[08:12] <sarthor> setup is inspecting computer hardware........ and now black screen.. nothing.....
[08:12] <zebastian> is pidgin better than kopete?
[08:13] <K7522> He quit as I was answering his question lol
[08:13] <sarthor> you ppls saw my msg indus ?
[08:13] <alaa_> alaa
[08:13] <indus> sarthor: yeah luckily
[08:14] <sarthor> indus, haha.. ok.
[08:14] <indus> sarthor: hmm black screen with nothing happening?
[08:14] <sarthor> indus, yes. black
[08:14] <jlw>  no activity light on the cd/dvd drive?
[08:14] <indus> sarthor: i feel the cd has errors , guessing
[08:14] <K7522> sarthor, black screen at post or after?
[08:15] <sarthor> K7522,  after inspecting inspecting ........
[08:15] <K7522> sarthor, nevermind I didnt read far back enough; looks like a CD record error, did you record at slowest?
[08:15] <sarthor> indus, CD is good,
[08:15] <sarthor> K7522, i installed this CD on vmware, a while b4.
[08:15] <sarthor> its errorless CD.
[08:16] <indus> sarthor: i somehow feel its the drive
[08:16] <zebastian> i have a crappy ati graphics card, the ubuntu driver works however is there a codec or anything i can use to improve the quality of my movies display
[08:16] <jlw> I'm telling you, if all you're trying to do is restore the MBR, that super grub disk should work
[08:16] <K7522> sarthor, how long did you allow it to hang? Things that come to mind are RAM limitations, CD or HD
[08:16] <sarthor> and i have 2 more CDs too
[08:16] <indus> K7522: your friend is back :)
[08:16] <jlw> I've used it many many times
[08:16] <sarthor> K7522, more than 20 or 25 min
[08:16] <K7522> indus, I have no friends.
[08:16] <indus> jlw: the windows ntldr
[08:16] <sarthor> Coz i went for prayer, and after 20 min later that was still the same.
[08:16] <indus> jlw: supergrub restores that too?
[08:17] <K7522> sarthor, how much RAM does the PC have?
[08:17] <sarthor> 1 GB
[08:17] <jlw> hrm, good point
[08:17] <indus> sarthor: nmaybe ask in #windows why the cd wont boot?
[08:17] <indus> hehe
[08:17] <jlw> it should repair the entire boot loading process
[08:17] <sarthor> same problem http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-29081-how-to-format-linux-and-install-xp
[08:18] <indus> sarthor: can u see your windows partition from a live cd?
[08:18] <jlw> what's odd is why the ntldr is missing in the first place
[08:18] <pclynch247> hello all
[08:18] <jlw> he says he can mount it
[08:18] <Celroc> pclynch247: Hi
[08:18] <sarthor> from live CD i never check that partition, but from ubuntu i can see that, even i put 2 filess there in drive C:
[08:18] <jlw> I was convinced he wiped it by accident, guess not
[08:18] <sarthor> ntldr and netdetect.com
[08:18] <indus> sarthor: ok
[08:18] <pclynch247> anyone willing to help with webcam issues? hah
[08:18] <CppIsWeird> im trying to get cpu temps on my server, from what ive read i should be seeing something in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone. If i see nothing in thermal_zone, does this mean that I do not have the ability to see my cpu's temp or do I have to install something further?
[08:19] <jlw> either grub is pointing to the wrong partition or boot.ini is
[08:19] <indus> sarthor: i wan to see output of fdisk -l
[08:19] <indus> sarthor: sudo fdisk -l
[08:19] <Celroc> jlw: If I'm not mistaken, it happened to me once, but it was a bit of a different case; Ubuntu and Windows were installed on separate drives
[08:19] <sarthor> ok
[08:19] <sarthor> let me reboot ubuntu, indus
[08:19] <indus> k
[08:20] <pclynch247> can someone help me install a module for my webcam? found instructions here but having trouble adding the module http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=660463
[08:21] <Celroc> jlw: Pardon me, but I think Sarthor said he removed some partitions from his disk. Might that confuse GRUB if the partitions change?
[08:21] <sarthor> indus, http://pastebin.com/m5d4d1f90
[08:21] <sarthor> Celroc, yes. you are right.
[08:21] <jlw> possibly, Celroc
[08:22] <jlw> although it sounds like the windows partition never moved
[08:22] <stpr> Hi, I need help with my wireless network at home...
[08:22] <U-b-u-n-t-u> when I am installing ubuntu 9.04 where do I tell it to format in ext4
[08:22] <sarthor> stpr, we pray to god that will help you,
[08:23] <sarthor> stpr, please ask you question
[08:23] <sarthor> your*
[08:23] <jlw> U-b-u-n-t-u,  there should be an advanced option in the partitioner
[08:23] <sarthor> indus, Luckily you saw the pastebin link?
[08:24] <Dayofswords> speaking of ext4.. can you convert you system to ext4 after install?
[08:24] <Dayofswords> install of ext3
[08:24] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jlw I am at that stage now
[08:24] <pclynch247> need help adding a driver module for webcam
[08:24] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jlw but i dont see the option
[08:24] <jlw> I really can't remember exactly, but I do know I saw it during installation
[08:25] <sarthor> Dayofswords, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1118295
[08:25] <Dayofswords> maybe its in alt install ?
[08:25] <pclynch247> stuck at #4.. don't know how to add module. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=660463
[08:25] <jlw> I was nervous to use ext4 in jaunty, I figured ext3 was still default for a reason
[08:26] <nikolam> Dayofswords, I would be happy if I could read ext4 with Hardy/LTS anyhow
[08:26] <EuphoniC> what file system is prefered? Ext3?
[08:26] <newbie> who develop ext4?
[08:27] <stpr> I live in a 2-floor appartment, my wireless router is on the first floor, and my pc is located on the second floor. The signal is very poor...
[08:27] <newbie> use a booster
[08:27] <EuphoniC> stpr: or readjust the antenna of the router, will send the signals in a different pattern - or buy a router with more than one antenna
[08:28] <Dayofswords> stpr: get an Ethernet cable? wired is always reliable
[08:28] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jlw I went through the advanced partition and I didnt see the ext4 option
[08:28] <U-b-u-n-t-u> anyone else know?
[08:28] <hey_boy> Guys, how do I add static arp entries in my network configuration
[08:28] <jlw> did you set the partitions manually?
[08:28] <Sedated> stpr... Dlink ANT24, omni-directional indoor antenna, worked like a charm for me
[08:28] <jlw> I think that's where I saw it, I wish I had a photographic memory
[08:28] <newbie> who develop ext4?
[08:28] <avishek> I'm using Xubuntu 8.10. Is it possible to login through the GUI and then shutdown the GUI so that all work is in a pure command line environment?
[08:29] <stpr> Euphonic: my router is n, and there is no antenna on it...
[08:29] <Celroc> I gotta go, sorry guys... but on one last note, hey Sarthor, have you tried switching the boot order in BIOS to one of the other drives? Maybe it would help somehow... if grub got installed to one of them or something. Just a thought
[08:29] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jlw when I went into advanced it gave me the partitions but not the options to format in ext4
[08:29] <jlw> I think on the first partitioner screen it asks you to use the entire disk or manually setup the partitions?
[08:29] <sarthor> Celroc, i will do it not, but i think it will not help.
[08:30] <Sedated> stpr... the antenna i linked can be attached to the PC, assuming the antenna on the PCI card can be removed

[08:31] <pclynch247> help with installing driver module?
[08:32] <Sedated> stpr... you have no option but to move your pc, move your router, or replace something
[08:32] <U-b-u-n-t-u> anyone know how to format in ext4 on install with ubuntu 9.04 64 bit
[08:32] <stpr> Just asking, if i change the channel that my router is transmits?
[08:33] <stpr> say from 11 to 6?
[08:33] <tasslehoff> I want to create and use a wiki locally on my PC, and possible later move it to a place where other can reach it. Any recommended starting points?
[08:33] <Sedated> stpr... probably worth a shot, but try a non-common channel.  6 and 11 and the defaults on most routers so try something else
[08:34] <stpr> Sedated: ok, thanks man... I'll give it a try... Otherwise, I'll move my router!!!
[08:34] <pclynch247> can't get past step # 4.. adding driver module. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=660463
[08:34] <jlw> yeah, the option for ext4 is there
[08:35] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok jlw when I am in advanced in the parition and I choose the partition I want to format it still only says ext3
[08:35] <U-b-u-n-t-u> so what am I missing
[08:35] <egomosis> U-b-u-n-t-u: if i remember right, it's an option during the install, select manually set partitions at the partitions prompt and format as ext4
[08:35] <talin> hello! i would like to start a service when i boot my ubuntu server. where do i add the command?
[08:35] <jlw> right click the partition that it is going to format as ext3
[08:35] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[08:35] <egomosis> though if you don't know what you're doing there, i recommend reading up on setting your own partitions
[08:35] <U-b-u-n-t-u> doing it now one sec
[08:35] <Sedated> stpr ... it's a long shot, but turning your router around a bit might help point the internal antenna in a better direction.  kinda depends on the hardware.
[08:35] <egomosis> and reading about compatibility between ext3 and ext4
[08:36] <egomosis> if you have other systems on your pc
[08:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> jlw thanks!
[08:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I found it

[08:41] <kazon> i'm going to try and take the monitor out, then put it back in in a desperate attempt to fool Ubuntu

[08:47] <kazon> Boohbah, i think the netbook version would fix it, but i don't have the download cap left
[08:47] <CactusPie> I have installed it on my hard disk, and it worked before. It jsut doesn't work after I plugged in second hard disk.
[08:48] <kazon> Boohbah isn't there a config file somewhere? i heard something about xorg.conf

[08:48] <sarthor> you can see 40gb
[08:48] <Boohbah> kazon: it is a matter of whether your CRT supports that resolution, and it probably does not
[08:48] <kazon> Boohbah it does
[08:48] <sarthor> indus, one is 80gb and the other is 40 GB

[08:54] <indus> sarthor: then there is no way even an ubuntu cd with start
[08:54] <avishek> I'm sorry, I got disconnected, so I'll just repeat my question: when I login to TTY, networking isn't enabled. how would I enable a wired connection that I have already set through the network manager?
[08:54] <sarthor> vista can boot, win98 can boot, but xp cannot
[08:55] <indus> sarthor: you said you dont see even bios post messages?
[08:55] <CQ> avishek: I thought wired connections are enabled by default... check with ifconfig
[08:55] <pclynch247> does this look right to anyone? i can't get past step #4 at the bottom. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=660463

[09:01] <Gnea> !poll | SharpRain
[09:01] <CQ> NeXstaR: check where teh files and docs are, usually /home ... then delete teh other directories etc. and you just have the data left. Careful, there may be some info in /usr/share or /var that you may want, like /var/www etc.

[09:10] <henry5> I not sure why the mysql client complain the client cannot connect to server
[09:10] <henry5> Access denied
[09:10] <henry5> I suspecting is the firewall problme now
[09:10] <Gnea> henry5: probably incorrect password or the host isn't set right in mysql client
[09:10] <Gnea> henry5: it's not the firewall, your firewall is completely wide-open
[09:11] <Gnea> henry5: it is, however, catching the packets to mysql
[09:11] <Gnea> henry5: try telling it to connect via socket
[09:11] <henry5> i connect locally it works

[09:13] <henry5> Gnea any idea?
[09:13] <DJones> henry5: Is the client and the server on different machines connected through a network/router? DO you need to open a port on the router to forward the connection to the server?
[09:13] <Gnea> henry5: you're either trying to connect to localhost or to the hostname with the GUI client
[09:13] <henry5> They using switch Gnea
[09:13] <Gnea> henry5: they are trying to connect via lan?

[09:14] <henry5> firewall correct?
[09:14] <luiX_> hi all
[09:14] <luiX_> can anyone help with xen instalation?
[09:15] <Gnea> henry5: I did. yes, firewall is correct. problem is your mysql configuration. when you add a user to connect remotely, you need to add hostname of master-desktop, so they can connect to localhost or master-desktop
[09:15] <luiX_> I've made the instalation throught the repos and I think it hasn't include the needed kernel or something like that, I can create the image but I can run the "xm" command
[09:15] <luiX_> any idea?
[09:15] <luiX_> I'm on ubuntu server 9.04
[09:15] <Gnea> luiX_: xm?
[09:16] <calwig> Hello
[09:16] <Gnea> !xen | luiX_
[09:16] <codeshah> hey guys, I install apache from source in ubuntu... when I run it, it runs under 'daemon' but I want it to run as www-data... how do I do this?
[09:16] <calwig> how can you make the computer go thru Proxy entirely and prevent one application from doing so i.e Firefox not go thru proxy but everything else
[09:17] <Gnea> codeshah: we don't support installing apache via source. you can install apache with:  sudo apt-get install apache2, or if you need to recompile it, sudo apt-get source apache2
[09:17] <luiX_> Gnea, as I've seen, one you have created the img, you have to launch something like: sudo xm create /etc/xen/vm1.cfg
[09:17] <Gnea> luiX_: no idea, never run xen before. did you check the url?
[09:17] <luiX_> when I do that it shows an error saying "Could not obtain handle on privileged command interface"
[09:17] <Gnea> luiX_: maybe check #ubuntu-xen too
[09:18] <luiX_> and if I try a "uname -r", I'm not running a "-xen" kernel
[09:18] <luiX_> Gnea, going there, thanks!
[09:18] <Gnea> luiX_: k, that's why you need to read that URL above, it tells you how to get XEN setup in Ubuntu, thanks.
[09:18] <calwig> Anyone know how to set a proxy on an ubuntu box? But allow just one port i.e 80 to not go thru it?
[09:18] <Gnea> !info xen-utils-3.3
[09:18] <henry5> may i know how to stop firewall?
[09:19] <Gnea> henry5: well it's already wide-open, so it's not blocking anything, so stopping it wouldn't affect anything
[09:19] <Guest91083> hi, i am having problems with symbols on my laptop keyboard... If i press a symbol key i type another symbol... All worked good until yesterday... I pressed any strange button? Let me know how to fix plz
[09:19] <Gnea> henry5: but:  sudo iptables -F
[09:20] <Gnea> !keyboard | Guest91083
[09:21] <henry5> sudo iptables -F mean If you need to disable the firewall temporarily, you can flush all the rules using
[09:21] <henry5> Flush all the rules?
[09:21] <henry5> I get panic already
[09:21] <Gnea> henry5: yes, it turns the firewall off by removing the rules
[09:21] <henry5> if i wan to restore the firewall how?
[09:21] <Gnea> henry5: the firewall is not your problem.
[09:22] <Gnea> henry5: you'd have to save it first. see that URL.
[09:22] <Gnea> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo  tells you how to save/restore your firewall
[09:22] <henry5> ok
[09:23] <henry5> same url as my
[09:23] <Gnea> zZzZ
[09:23] <henry5> lolz
[09:23] <henry5> then now how?

[09:23] <henry5> how to add the configure
[09:23] <calwig> where can i get information about proxy settings on ubuntu 8.04

[09:33] <salax> sarthor, install back grub
[09:33] <Reactor> sarthor: install XP ald Ubuntu loaders on the different partitions and set Ubuntu's as active
[09:33] <Reactor> sarthor: yh, and reinstall grub on ubuntu's one
[09:34] <sarthor> Reactor, how to remove the already installed grub?
[09:34] <calwig> Reactor: yes I have used it, here is what I would lik to do, allow all apps thru proxy, but one or two
[09:34] <giros> app, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. google help for you
[09:34] <jpic> nobody knows what the USB startup disk creator "Documents and settings will be stored in reserved extra space" means? i don't get it
[09:34] <Reactor> calwig: you say that u have set up these settings?
[09:35] <Reactor> sarthor: idk - look any info in the internet
[09:35] <jpic> i gave it 3.2G and it can't do a couple of apt-get install because of disk space
[09:36] <calwig> Reactor: for example if i set Network Proxy thru tor, everything on port 80 and socks goes thru it, which is good and thats what I want but Id like some other apps to go directly to the net
[09:36] <Reactor> calwig: look at the app's own settings
[09:37] <calwig> Reactor: weather applets
[09:37] <Reactor> calwig: ok
[09:37] <Reactor> calwig: then u have to set direct connection in yr Network Proxy
[09:38] <Reactor> calwig: and set using proxy in other apps' own settings
[09:38] <calwig> Reactor: right, which is what im trying to find out of each other apps settings
[09:39] <Reactor> calwig: almost each app has "proxy settings" item in it's settings
[09:40] <Reactor> calwig: but weather applets
[09:40] <calwig> Reactor: Ill have to find out where they are then
[09:40] <MenZa> Reactor: They should use Gnome's settings.
[09:40] <Reactor> MenZa: I know
[09:40] <CQ> hello, how do I boot into a maintenance mode, just basic text with networking?
[09:40] <Reactor> MenZa: but thx
[09:40] <CQ> is ther a grub option for that?
[09:40] <grawity> CQ: It's called "recovery mode" in grub.
[09:40] <Reactor> CQ: yh
[09:40] <calwig> Can you set an app or a program where you can redirect the request and run a script thru the proxy?
[09:40] <Reactor> CQ: look in a grub's menu
[09:41] <Reactor> calwig: idk
[09:41] <calwig> MenZa: im trying to redirect only certain apps thru the proxy, Reactor is right about each apps proxy settings
[09:41] <PLN> Hello linux user
[09:41] <calwig> Ill have a look at that first

[09:44] <qdb> hello
[09:44] <Reactor> hi man
[09:44] <qdb> i have entered resque mode in alternate cd
[09:44] <Spike1506> i use a socks host and wanna update my system, how can i accomplish this>?
[09:44] <qdb> i want mbr to grub
[09:44] <qdb> install
[09:44] <qdb> now i am in shell
[09:44] <Reactor> qdb: hmm
[09:45] <qdb> without any partition mounted
[09:45] <Reactor> qdb: without? o_O
[09:45] <Reactor> qdb: u should mount I think
[09:45] <qdb> dir says dir not found
[09:45] <qdb> yes ok
[09:45] <qdb> i will try ls
[09:45] <Reactor> qdb: ok
[09:45] <Reactor> qdb: ;)
[09:46] <qdb> (ok it works)
[09:46] <Reactor> qdb: are u in console mode now?
[09:46] <Reactor> qdb: or under x-window?
[09:47] <qdb> console
[09:47] <qdb> now there is /mnt/sda7
[09:47] <Reactor> qdb: ok
[09:47] <qdb> there is ubuntu 9 04
[09:47] <Reactor> qdb: how u can switch between applications in console mode?
[09:48] <qdb> i do not know
[09:48] <grawity> Reactor: there are 6 ttys, use Alt-arrows :)
[09:48] <qdb> may be shift f1 etc
[09:48] <hatake_kakashi> or start programs in screen
[09:48] <grawity> Or Alt-F(number)
[09:48] <hatake_kakashi> or do bg
[09:48] <Reactor> grawity: ok
[09:48] <qdb> yae alt arrows work
[09:49] <Reactor> grawity: how to login in tty if I switched to it under x-window?
[09:49] <qdb> i try to run grub command
[09:49] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, same username and password to get into X
[09:49] <qdb> not found
[09:49] <Reactor> grawity: I get login error when trying
[09:49] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, as root?
[09:50] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, what as normal user?
[09:50] <qdb> i do not know probably this is rescue mode
[09:50] <Reactor> but name'n'passwd are correct
[09:50] <hatake_kakashi> it should work btw unless your password is incorrect or otherwise blank (which is almost impossible)
[09:50] <Reactor> ok I'll try now
[09:51] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, try running which on it, if not, you probably need to mount your  partitions and then chroot into it
[09:51] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, if it still fails, go back into X, fire up the terminal/console and do passwd
[09:51] <qdb> on what?
[09:51] <hatake_kakashi> set password from there and it should work in console
[09:51] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, which grub
[09:51] <qdb> which on what
[09:52] <calwig> Reactor: i mean i have to dig for some settings
[09:52] <qdb> grub command is not found
[09:52] <Reactor> ok
[09:52] <calwig> Reactor: so i can change its proxy settings :)
[09:52] <Reactor> calwig: ok ok
[09:52] <Reactor> calwig: ;) roger
[09:52] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, actually scratch that, what is the prompt? $ or #? I presume its #
[09:52] <qdb> yes
[09:53] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, ok, mount your local hard drive partitions and chroot into your ubuntu hard disk setup
[09:53] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: I enter the correct name/passwd but still "Login incorrect"
[09:53] <qdb> i have mounted linux partition it is only one
[09:54] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: maybe I have no permission?
[09:54] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, did you also tried changing your password from within x?
[09:54] <qdb> to mnt sda7
[09:54] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: yh
[09:54] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, now chroot into it and try grub
[09:54] <qdb> how
[09:54] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, yh?
[09:54] <qdb> i will look help
[09:54] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: yh yh
[09:54] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, chroot <mount path>
[09:54] <qdb> ok
[09:55] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: oh sorry
[09:55] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, I was about to say... >_>
[09:55] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: I have entered numbers from right keybrd
[09:55] <qdb> hm it do not stop
[09:55] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, what is that supposed to mean? lol
[09:55] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, and... ?
[09:56] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: but tty  does not work with that
[09:56] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: I think
[09:56] <qdb> chroot do not give prompt back
[09:56] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, it should give you a normal shell in default ubuntu setup or else I'm sure there be many complaints
[09:56] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: then I have entered my passwd's numbers from main keybrd and it works ;)
[09:56] <qdb> alt arrow also do no twork
[09:56] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: but ty for help :D
[09:56] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, hmm hit Ctrl +C and do chroot <mount path> /bin/bash
[09:57] <qdb> now i need to kill it ?
[09:57] <qdb> ok
[09:57] <grawity> Reactor: Wait, so you just forgot to enable NumLock?
[09:57] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, lol so you have extra keyboard just to confuse yourself? :)
[09:57] <qdb> ctrl c do no thelp
[09:57] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: yh yh
[09:57] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: I think tty does not support that
[09:57] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, crap.. try another console if you can
[09:57] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: lol
[09:58] <qdb> i will try mandriva disk
[09:58] <grawity> Reactor: ^C is supported _everywhere_
[09:58] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: lol
[09:58] <qdb> grub is standard...
[09:58] <AnxiousNut> sudo rm -rf is not working with me!!
[09:58] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: how to type ^C in xwindow?
[09:59] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, don't think so, but then again maybe it wasn't detected by the system itself or as grawity said,  you probably didn't have numlock on.. consoles don't echo the number of chars you enter in as passwd
[09:59] <grawity> Reactor: Hold Ctrl, press C, release C, release Ctrl
[09:59] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, Ctrl +　C
[09:59] <eni23> hello all out there. someone knows a good torrent-client for ubuntu-server (i want to start in a ssh-session)
[09:59] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: yh, but the numock was on
[09:59] <grawity> eni23: Try rtorrent.
[09:59] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: I know, CTRL-C in tty but not in xwindow
[09:59] <hatake_kakashi> qdb, probably not in rescue mode but then again you won't be able to get it work properly without having chrooted into your ubuntu setup
[10:00] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, lol well I dunno then, I just pkill the offending thread
[10:00] <kennyyu> when i typed "mail myemailaddress@gmail.com" i got the following error:
[10:00] <kennyyu> mail: /tmp/mail.RsXXXXlSCodq: Permission denied
[10:00] <kennyyu> why was that?
[10:00] <AnxiousNut> sudo rm -rf is not working, why?
[10:00] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: xD roger
[10:00] <eni23> grawity: wow, looks great, and got a nice web-interface too, thanks :)
[10:00] <mino> hi
[10:00] <natrixnatrix89> how do i remove the previous linux-image packages, so that they do not show up in the grub list, and so that i have more free space?
[10:00] <Reactor> grawity: xD I know how to do it in tty
[10:01] <jakes_> hey anyone want to help me install this ? http://sourceforge.net/projects/jstock/files/jstock/1.0.4i/jstock-1.0.4i-bin.zip/download
[10:01] <hatake_kakashi> AnxiousNut, no file/directory set
[10:01] <Reactor> grawity: but thx
[10:01] <grawity> Reactor: And it is the same everywhere.
[10:01] <eni23> natrixnatrix89: first uninstall the packages
[10:01] <Reactor> grawity: nono, in xwindow it doesn't work as well
[10:01] <mino> where is the network configuration file that the ubuntu gnome network gui edits?
[10:01] <qdb> mandr. disk has not worked, may be because old
[10:01] <grawity> Reactor: Ctrl-C works in Xterm, it works in gnome-terminal, it works in KDE's konsole.
[10:01] <jakes_> grawity, how do i install this http://sourceforge.net/projects/jstock/files/jstock/1.0.4i/jstock-1.0.4i-bin.zip/download
[10:02] <eni23> natrixnatrix89: then remove in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:02] <calwig> Reactor: figured it out
[10:02] <Reactor> grawity: yh, but not in GUI applications
[10:02]  * grawity sighs
[10:02] <Reactor> calwig: working?
[10:02] <hatake_kakashi> Ctrl + C afaik sends sig_int to the running process in fg
[10:02] <grawity> jakes_: Download, unzip, look for a file named "README", read it.
[10:02] <grawity> hatake_kakashi: SIGINT*
[10:02] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: yh, but only in console
[10:02] <hatake_kakashi> grawity, that too :)
[10:02] <calwig> Does anyone know where the settings for the startup programs (applets, and so forth) is stored to initiate them upon startup
[10:02] <hatake_kakashi> Reactor, like I said, do pkill thread
[10:03] <calwig> Reactor: not necessarily but i just remembered something
[10:03] <grawity> calwig: I think all GNOME settings are stored in Gconf. Use "gconf-editor"
[10:03] <Reactor> hatake_kakashi: ok ok
[10:03] <eni23> calwig: u mean gnome-startup?
[10:03] <calwig> grawity: yes something like that
[10:03] <wWales> my ubunutbox (a laptop) wont boot up! monitor stays black so i have no clue whats happening, it tries to boot up but powers down and powers up itself over and over
[10:03] <mino> where is the network configuration file that the ubuntu gnome network gui edits? Or need I to edit the /etc/network/interfaces and disable everything in the gnome network manager if i want a file based administration?
[10:03] <Reactor> calwig: System>Preferences>Startup applications
[10:03] <vigo> mino: I am uncertain, could be the Network Manager or you may be referring to GUFW , (google that)
[10:03] <hammergod> how to remove a service frm startup in backtrack
[10:04] <Reactor> calwig: idk howto in textconfigs
[10:04] <hatake_kakashi>  /etc/defaults
[10:04] <calwig> eni23 for example I have 3 weather applets and a dictionary server added to the bottom panel, where can i find the file that loads these applets?
[10:04] <Reactor> AFK guys ;)
[10:05] <calwig> Reactor: I dont have startup applications in my ubuntu
[10:05] <mino> vigo: GUFW is a firewall script. I dont see any relation between a firewall script and the interface network settings
[10:05] <Reactor> calwig: I'm gonna AFK
[10:05] <grawity> calwig: I told you, gconf.
[10:05] <Reactor> calwig: tell me
[10:06] <grawity> calwig: GDM (the login screen) runs gnome-session, gnome-session reads gconf and runs gnome-panel, gnome-panel reads gconf and loads whatever applets are specified there.
[10:06] <vigo> mino: My mistake, System.Preferences, Network Connections is one
[10:06] <calwig> grawity: ah thats what i needed ok thanks
[10:06] <calwig> Reactor: go afk its ok
[10:06] <Reactor> calwig: ok thx ;)
[10:06] <mino> vigo: yes this is the guy but i want to know where the gui saves it settings and to edit them
[10:06] <mino> vigo: sorry I mean GUI not guy :/
[10:06] <grawity> calwig: And gconf settings are accessible through gconf-editor. (Like I told you already.)
[10:06] <aLeSD> hi is it possible to use a wifi usb device as an access point ?
[10:07] <vigo> mino: Then there is the Network Manager applet
[10:08] <calwig> grawity: right, i knew, i just wasnt sure of the startup priorities which you have just cleared up
[10:08] <vigo> mino: Right click that. edit
[10:08] <calwig> grawity: thanks for the input, let me get on gconf-editor
[10:10] <vigo> mino: Or try nano/gedit , I am still looking for a GUI thing,,,
[10:11] <mino> vigo: sorry, but you dont get it :). I need a FILE to edit it like in /etc/network/interfaces ... i dont want to use the GUI because i need to script it
[10:11] <grawity> calwig: When gnome-session launches, it reads /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list from gconf, and starts those. It also starts the .desktop files from ~/.config/autostart/
[10:12] <vigo> mino: Oh, ok, use nano,gedit I also like Gnome Commander, but nano is where you want to do that in.
[10:12] <calwig> grawity: glad youre telling me this because thats what im looking for i guess
[10:13] <maxagaz> my server doesn't load its .bashrc when i log on using ssh, why ?
[10:13] <calwig> grawity: where is /desktop/gnome/session/required_components ? in gconf-editor?
[10:13] <calwig> grawity: nevermind i see, its not there
[10:14] <calwig> grawity: i dont have /desktop/gnome/session
[10:14] <vigo> mino: Or whatever text editor you prefer, VIM, and others also will save and place scripts that are customized or such stuff.
[10:14] <grawity> calwig: Yes.
[10:14] <grawity> calwig: Also, /desktop/gnome/session/required_components doesn't contain the executable names - it contains the .desktop file names, and gnome-session looks for those (gnome-panel.desktop, nautilus.desktop) in ~/.local/share/applications/ and then /usr/share/applications
[10:14] <grawity> calwig: gconf-editor / -> desktop -> gnome -> session, should be there.
[10:15] <Total_Oblivion> How can I port forward deluge?
[10:16] <calwig> grawity: i dont have session
[10:16] <Guest12329> is there a special way to download songs using ubuntu web facility
[10:16] <calwig> there is remote_access sound thumbnailers (among others)
[10:16] <Total_Oblivion> How can I put songs on my ipod?
[10:17] <calwig> grawity: i even used Find to get to that and i cant see it
[10:17] <Salvad2> Is there any hotkey for locking the screen?
[10:17] <AlienDK> Buy a Creative Zen and throw out any Apple product you own
[10:17] <Total_Oblivion> good idea but i kinda payed a lot for it:P
[10:17] <grawity> Salvad2: Ctrl-Alt-L
[10:17] <Guest12329> connect ur ipod through usb port then put songs on ipod
[10:17] <Reactor> lol AlienDK
[10:17] <Salvad2> Thanks!:
[10:17] <Salvad2> .
[10:18] <AlienDK> Of course you did oblivion
[10:18] <AlienDK> Apple only sells overpriced crap products
[10:18] <Total_Oblivion> guest12329: it needs itunes to import songs to it
[10:18] <AlienDK> iTunes sucks
[10:18] <AlienDK> Winamp FTW
[10:18] <hatake_kakashi> Total_Oblivion, you can try gtkpod
[10:18] <hatake_kakashi> there's a few ipod tools in the repo anyway
[10:18] <AlienDK> or you could try suing apple for making such a sucky product
[10:18] <Total_Oblivion> yep. wipanmp ftw:) i use itunes only to import songs:P
[10:19] <Guest12329> didnt u try to install itunes
[10:19] <Total_Oblivion> it's .exe so i presume i can't install it
[10:20] <AlienDK> Your computer dosn't want you to install itunes
[10:20] <AlienDK> Cause it hates it
[10:20] <Reactor> use Wine emulator
[10:20] <Reactor> but only emergency use xD
[10:20] <AlienDK> yah
[10:21] <Total_Oblivion> what's wine ?
[10:21] <Reactor> I mean if u can't find any Linux app
[10:21] <Guest12329> try with Rhythmbox
[10:21] <AlienDK> it dosn't work very well.. when I tried to run mIRC with wine on ubuntu it crashed all the time
[10:21] <Reactor> WINE - Wine Is Not Emulator
[10:21] <AlienDK> wine is a windows emulator
[10:21] <Reactor> yh
[10:21] <AlienDK> o.O
[10:21] <Reactor> xD
[10:21] <henu> hello! is there any channel for those who use Karmic? i have some issues with it
[10:21] <AlienDK> you're weird
[10:21]  * AlienDK slaps Reactor with a Dell 24" monitor
[10:21] <Reactor> lol man
[10:22] <Reactor> AlienDK: howto slap?
[10:22] <jpic> hi, is there any reason why ubuntu won't let the chroot: http://nopaste.com/p/aSVEfvg13
[10:22] <AlienDK> Well
[10:22] <AlienDK> what client are you using?
[10:23] <jpic> what? bash
[10:23] <Reactor> AlienDK: ChatZilla
[10:23] <jpic> oh, irssi here
[10:23] <grawity> Reactor: Type "/me slaps AlienDK with <something>"
[10:23] <AlienDK> I don't think you can slap in CZ
[10:23] <AlienDK> But try with /me
[10:23] <kvdb> hi, while using eclipse, it seems that ubuntu/gnome/... has stolen the F2, F3 and more function keys that I need in eclipse. How can i disable these mappings in ubuntu?
[10:23] <grawity> AlienDK: /me _always_ works.
[10:23] <calwig> grawity: i found ./local/share/apps and /usr/share/apps has only KDE kind of apps all starting with K
[10:24]  * Reactor slaps AlienDK with keyboard xD
[10:24] <AlienDK> oh
[10:24] <Guest12329> do anyone know about a web site which linux users can donload songs
[10:24] <AlienDK> lol
[10:24] <Reactor> lol
[10:24] <jpic> Guest12329: jamendo.com
[10:24] <AlienDK> You mean like pirated songs?
[10:24]  * grawity so wants to point him to a download page for the song by Rick Astley.
[10:24] <Guest12329> ya
[10:24] <Myrtti> please keep the offtopic elsewhere
[10:25] <jpic> for pirate stuff use gnunet
[10:25] <Myrtti> and keep this channel for ubuntu support
[10:25] <Myrtti> thank you
[10:25] <AlienDK> www.1227.com go there guest
[10:25] <indus> hi
[10:25] <DJones> !piracy
[10:25]  * AlienDK slaps Myrtti with a Kubuntu 9.04 disc
[10:25] <Reactor> lol
[10:25] <jpic> nobody?
[10:25] <indus> jpic: for what
[10:25] <AlienDK> jpic go to www.1227.com
[10:26] <jpic> can't chroot; http://nopaste.com/p/aSVEfvg13
[10:26] <onats> what's a good VOIP/ippbx server for ubuntu?
[10:26] <onats> something that's fast to configure for a home server?
[10:27] <SandGorgon> anybody know how to replace glibc with eglibc ?
[10:27] <vigo> Is Tor and Privoxy and Vidalia depreciated, I think I have Privoxy, but I did not see Tor in the Synaptic?
[10:27] <DJones> !info tor
[10:27] <jpic> strace output; http://nopaste.com/p/aThaeyiDk i have no idea why it won't work
[10:27] <grawity> vigo: You need to download Tor from their own repositories.
[10:27] <vigo> Thank you.
[10:28] <grawity> vigo: It's more secure that way, as Ubuntu repos aren't updated that often.
[10:28] <vigo> And Thank you.
[10:29] <grawity> vigo: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian
[10:30] <Guest12329> AlienDK what is that site
[10:30] <jpic> looks like ubuntu doesn't like the user doing anything else than using its GUI
[10:31] <jpic> is it possible to do a regular install to a usb key? (the liveusb thingy totally fails)
[10:31] <grawity> jpic: How did you create that chroot?
[10:31] <Guest12329> i cannot close that web tab or browser AlienDK what u done
[10:32] <grawity> jpic: debootstrap or just copied the files manually?
[10:32] <jpic> grawity: mount -o loop -t squashfs /cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs /mnt; rsync -avx -P /mnt/. /c/fix/.
[10:34] <grawity> jpic: Does the chroot dir have /lib/ld-linux.so.* ?
[10:35] <jpic> nope!
[10:35] <grawity> jpic: Well then, copy one from the actual /lib.
[10:35] <indus> jpic: of course u can do regular install, during installation you select the usb as install dir
[10:36] <grawity> jpic: Or take a look at 'debootstrap', it's kinda designed for making chroot installs.
[10:36] <indus> or maybe i got the question wrong
[10:36] <jpic> thanks for answering guys and gals :)
[10:36] <Cheery> when do you push the updated irssi into the repository?
[10:39] <zfe> buondì
[10:40] <deepadmin> what is the best site on web to download songs free
[10:40] <Wolke> Hi I have an QMC Magiccolor 2 printer connectet over LAN which Print System must I use?
[10:41] <mitkok> Hey, guys. Just downloaded Firefox 3.5.* on Ubuntu 8.10, but it looks awefull. I think it Ubuntu doesn't apply subpixel hinting, any fix for this ?
[10:41] <vecaa> hello, how do I do autoincrement in shell script, in php i do it like: if(condition==1) number ++ ;
[10:42] <AlienDK> Why would you still use 8.10?
[10:42] <DJones> Cheery: The version in Jaunty is 0.8.14, its updated to version 0.8.14 in Karmic, thats probably the next update unless its a security issue, in which case it may get updated in jaunty as part of the security updates
[10:42] <Wolke> Hi I have an QMC Magiccolor 2 printer connectet over LAN It's online but I can't Print
[10:42] <vecaa> i understand the if statement in shell script, but i cannot increment the number
[10:43] <jdb> vecaa: let "i = i + 1"
[10:43] <Sedated> vecaa... VAR=$[$VAR + 1] might work also
[10:43] <Cheery> DJones: but for intrepid it's not updated?
[10:44] <indus> sarthor: you still there?
[10:44] <sarthor> indus, yes
[10:44] <indus> sarthor: any luck
[10:44] <sarthor> No, but things are a bit clear now.
[10:44] <indus> sarthor: what u mean clear
[10:44] <sarthor> if i select 40gb hard as my 1st hard, so xp boot well.
[10:45] <sarthor> but no ubuntu,
[10:45] <DJones> Cheery: Probably not, unless the update is for security reasons, Ubuntu doesn't normally update packages when new versions come out unless its a bug/security fix
[10:45] <vecaa> Sedated ....that doesn't work but I've just figured out that VAR=$((VAR+1)) works
[10:45] <indus> sarthor: wow cool
[10:45] <Sedated> vecaa... i just tried it in a shell and it worked
[10:45] <indus> sarthor: now just repair grub and ubuntu will boot also
[10:45] <sarthor> indus, and if i put 80gb on 1st boot, then linux boot well. but no xp
[10:45] <indus> sarthor: use live cd for that\
[10:45] <vecaa> Sedated ok..just one moment
[10:46] <sarthor> indus, i did, but no success.
[10:46] <indus> sarthor: i have some commands
[10:46] <indus> sarthor: how did u?
[10:46] <sarthor> indus, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[10:47] <sarthor> indus, on the link, after Overwriting windows boot loader
[10:47] <indus> sarthor: ya same but simpler
[10:47] <Cheery> DJones: there's server-exploitable security bug in irssi 0.8.13 and older.
[10:47] <sarthor> indus, how?
[10:47] <indus> sarthor: did u go into terminal and try sudo grub etc
[10:47] <indus> sarthor: find /boot/grub/stage1
[10:47] <sarthor> indus, find /boot/grub/stage1 gives error
[10:48] <indus> sarthor: cos that linux partition isnt mounted
[10:48] <sarthor> error 15
[10:48] <sarthor> may be.

[10:49] <sarthor> 3 of my days gone in such shit, one was matrox dualhead vga.
[10:49] <indus> sarthor: stupid laptop keypad
[10:49] <sarthor> ok.
[10:49] <Sedated> vecaa are you using bash?
[10:49] <sarthor> indus, i never like laptop to work on
[10:49] <indus> sarthor: me neither
[10:49] <sarthor> even i like the old clicker keyboards.
[10:50] <Sedated> vecaa, try it in a shell right now and paste the code and result at http://paste.ubuntu.com
[10:50] <sarthor> more than 3 to 5 kg weight
[10:50] <DJones> Cheery: I've no idea then
[10:51] <Cheery> DJones: perhaps I should just upgrade my OS.
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:51] <Cheery> though so damn tired on upgrades that I won't probably do it very soon.
[10:51] <Cheery> what's the future version coming up?
[10:51] <Cheery> and when it's going to be released?
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> !9.10 | Cheery
[10:52] <eVias> just one statement ... YAKUAKE rules ! :D
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> eVias: +1
[10:52] <eVias> :)
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> eVias: tilda is the gnome equiv
[10:52] <eVias> k :)
[10:52] <vecaa> Sedated http://paste.ubuntu.com/271982/
[10:52] <eVias> good to know :)
[10:53] <Cheery> Aha
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> eVias: well yeah, kinda silly pulling in qt libs just for yakuake
[10:53] <aaaaaaaaa> what is that program called that lets you back up your entire system onto an installation DVD?
[10:53] <eVias> yeah :D
[10:53] <sarthor> indus, http://pastebin.com/m3f295583
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> !backup
[10:53] <Cheery> so I guess I should wait for 30 days before upgrading actually.
[10:53] <sarthor> indus, http://pastebin.com/m3f295583
[10:53] <aaaaaaaaa> ActionParsnip: no this program let you create custom CDs
[10:54] <eVias> damn, whats this nick .. 'CppIsWeird' ... C++ seems to me like man's best invention :D
[10:54] <aaaaaaaaa> with packages that you could distribute to your friends
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaaaaa: you could use remastersys to edit the live cd to your liking
[10:54] <eVias> (followed by all web technologies :p)
[10:54] <aaaaaaaaa> thats it
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaaaaa: aptoncd?
[10:54] <aaaaaaaaa> ActionParsnip: you can use remastersys to back up all of your settings as well, no?
[10:55] <sarthor> indus, fdisk -l is here http://pastebin.com/m6edb160
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaaaaa: dont think so, you may be able to edit the individual files on the cd with your own
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaaaaa: don't see why it wont be possible
[10:56] <vecaa> Sedated, did you find an error?
[10:56] <Sedated> vecaa, your code works perfectly fine for mehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/271985/
[10:56] <vecaa> hm..
[10:56] <aaaaaaaaa> ActionParsnip: who may know more about this?
[10:56] <vecaa> Sedated, wierd.. :/
[10:56] <Sedated> vecaa, very.  what does `bash --version` tell you?
[10:57] <vecaa> GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
[10:57] <vecaa> Sedated, GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)

[10:58] <fabio123> hi there
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Sedated: i think ((n++)) will increment it too
[10:58] <chalcedony> greetings ActionParsnip :))
[10:58] <fabio123> is it possible to know the connection time with *NetworkManager* ?   (ppp0 interface)
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> hi chalcedony
[10:59] <vecaa> ActionParsnip, that didn't worked either...
[10:59]  * chalcedony smiles
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> vecaa: seen this: http://www.issociate.de/board/goto/953789/Increment_integer_using_Shell.html
[10:59] <Sedated> vecaa... your bash is possessed :P
[10:59] <Sedated> vecaa, what does `echo $SHELL` say?
[10:59] <vecaa> ActionParsnip, only n=$((n+1)) works.. :/
[10:59] <aaaaaaaaa> ActionParsnip: who may know more about this?
[11:00] <vecaa> Sedated, /bin/bash
[11:00] <Sedated> vecaa i have nfi, that's just weird.
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaaaaa: not sure, there are guides
[11:01] <vecaa> Sedated, ok ...no problem...thanks for other solution...it works with that!! cheers!
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> vecaa: if it works, i'd run with it
[11:01] <Sedated> vecaa, `echo $((VAR+1))` doesn't work for me.  very strange.
[11:01] <aaaaaaaaa> ActionParsnip: the question I was leading up to was, how do you fit a 35 GB installation onto a 4.7 GB DVD?
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaaaaa: you dont
[11:02] <eni23> hello everyone. someone knows something about rtorrent?
[11:02] <aaaaaaaaa> ActionParsnip: how do you know?
[11:02] <pjfry1> Is there a way to access the tach on the cpu fan?
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaaaaa: your installed system will be very small, your user data will be most of that
[11:02] <eni23> ive installed it but it means cannot connect to the udp-tracker
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaaaaa: 35 > 4.7
[11:02] <eni23> timeout reached
[11:03] <eni23> but works fine with the same network and transmission
[11:03] <johnT> pjfry1: do you want to view the tachometer or modify the speed too?
[11:03] <eni23> soeone knows what i've got to do
[11:03] <eni23> ?
[11:03] <BrendonS> anyone got time to help out a total noob with getting my internet connection to work in ubuntu?
[11:04] <johnT> Brendons, adsl or 56k?
[11:04] <BrendonS> adsl
[11:04] <HNSZ> Hi, I have a problem: Everytime I return from hibernate my wireless won't reconnect.
[11:04] <johnT> brendons, usb or ethernet?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> eni23: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/1415
[11:04] <pjfry1> johnT I just want to view for now ... can it be modified (would that be safe)?
[11:04] <BrendonS> ethernet. LAN is working fine, just can't get WAN. DNS settings are correct.
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: try: sudo /etc/init/d/hal restart; sudo /etc/init/d/networking restart
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> oops
[11:05] <johnT> pjfry1, 'sudo apt-get install lm-sensors'   -   'sudo sensors-detects'      (follow instructions)      -   then just type 'sensors' to view them
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart;
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: the second one, without the last ;
[11:05] <pjfry1> thank you JohnT
[11:05] <HNSZ> cool
[11:06] <HNSZ> I'll do that.
[11:06] <johnT> pjfry1, no problem - ps: for sensors-detect, all you have to do is to press ENTER everytime and to say 'yes' in the last part
[11:07] <johnT> pjfry1, if you are expert enough you can use pwmconfig to manually set fan speeds to, but I don't recommend doing so as the motherboard already does this job
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: theres a script to get wifi ok after hibernate here as well: http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/how-to-fix-ubuntu-jaunty-warning-hacks-ahead/
[11:07] <eni23> ActionParsnip: great.. :(
[11:07] <rapha_> hey, short question: i installed a vm via virtualbox with the bash an i am using rpd to connect on it. Problem: How can i enable only connections form localhost?
[11:07] <HNSZ> awesome but why isnt this in ubuntu already?
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: because its not universal
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: some wifi doesnt mind hibernate, poor ones do
[11:08] <aaaaaaaaa> can anyone tell me how to get moonlight working on ubuntu?
[11:08] <lesshaste> how do I tell the resolution of a jpeg file?
[11:08] <HNSZ> Hey! Don't hurt his feelings :p
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: you'll need to change the script to manipulate the driver you use for your wifi
[11:08] <Sirmimer> I need some help on installing shockwave. Can anyone help?
[11:08] <Reactor> rapha_: select the "internal network" in yr vm's "network tab"
[11:08] <Sedated> lesshaste try `file whatever.jpg` in a bash prompt
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: imagemagick will do that
[11:08] <HNSZ> I will do that.
[11:08] <lesshaste> file 139787.jpg
[11:08] <HNSZ> THanks you
[11:08] <lesshaste> 139787.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01
[11:09] <eni23> ActionParsnip: any solutions? i've installed over the ubuntu-repros, what's this for a shit?
[11:09] <Sedated> lesshaste works for pngs, not jpegs i guess
[11:09] <johnT> lesshaste: simply open the jpeg from image viewer
[11:09] <johnT> lesshates: the resolution is on the bottom left corner
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> eni23: i dont understand your question
[11:10] <lesshaste> Johnm: which app is image viewer?
[11:10] <johnT> double click jpeg
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: try: identify <image>
[11:11] <lesshaste> thanks!
[11:11] <eni23> ActionParsnip: is there any solution for the bug you show me in your link?
[11:11] <BrendonS> is there anything other than problems with the DNS settings that would mean the internet won't work when LAN works fine?
[11:11] <kane77> hi, I'd like to upgrade my vista to win7. Will that mess up my grub?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> eni23: not sure, is there a cannel for rtorrent?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> eni23: /j #rtorrent
[11:11] <lesshaste> kane77: not really a ubuntu question :)
[11:12] <lesshaste> kane77: there are windows channels
[11:12] <HNSZ> Do the modprobes happen everytime you reboot?
[11:12] <lesshaste> HNSZ: yes
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> eni23: yes, with 63 users, ask in there
[11:12] <johnT> kane77, it wil
[11:12] <johnT> windows 7 modifies the partition scheme too
[11:12] <johnT> and I bet i overwrites the bootloader
[11:12] <kane77> johnT, ok.. so then no upgrade for me :D
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: if you reboot they will be loaded. hibernate is a differentanimal. more of a pain in theass
[11:13] <shaullx> i installed ubuntu jaunty on a acer aspire one netbook and it doesn't reconize the ethernet only the wifi can anyone help me solve this?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: in short, imho, ts really not worth it
[11:13] <joe12300> hi, im using ubuntu 9.10 on my eee pc i updated to 2.6.31.10 kernel and now when i reboot i got an error : unable to connect th the system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Nu such file or directory

[11:14] <erUSUL> !karmic | johnT
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> shaullx: if you run: sudo lshw -C network     you will see the device, you can then websearch that to find guides
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: s/ts/it's
[11:14] <HNSZ> ActionParsnip: I have ath5k is thgis a poor quality device?

[11:14] <homebrewcider> hey there, on every restart, my taskbar settings are gone, and I have to redo them, then they get lost again, it seems like my config file disappears or something, can anyone help please?
[11:14] <eVias> to shaullx's statement i must say you must be pretty lucky .. i always had the same problem, just inverted :D
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: with regards to waking up from hibernate, yes
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> !panels
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> homebrewcider: do you use that ^
[11:15] <johnT> erUSUL, ?
[11:15] <erUSUL> johnT: oops; tab completion error soz
[11:16] <HNSZ> So where do I put the script, init.d?
[11:16] <erUSUL> !karmic | joe12300
[11:16] <johnT> erUSUL: no problem ;)
[11:16] <maxagaz> is there a way to do a halt on lan on machine frozen machine ?
[11:16] <shaullx> erUSUL well i did what you said and it says above "description:Ethernet interface" network DISABLED
[11:16] <shaullx> what should i do next?
[11:16] <joe12300> thx
[11:16] <homebrewcider> ?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> shaullx: what does the product line  say? thats the bit you need
[11:17] <HNSZ> ActionParsnip:Where do I put the script, init.d?
[11:17] <erUSUL> shaullx: please paste the ifconfig output on a pastebin
[11:17] <shaullx> oh sorry i meant for ActionParsnip
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> HNSZ: the guide tells you
[11:17] <HNSZ> ok
[11:17] <homebrewcider> using Xubuntu, don't know if that will make a difference
[11:17] <histo> maxagaz: can you ssh in to the box?
[11:18] <maxagaz> histo, no
[11:18] <histo> maxagaz: do you have physical access to the box then?
[11:18] <maxagaz> histo, no
[11:18] <histo> maxagaz: then no
[11:18] <histo> maxagaz: you need tob e able to login with ssh or be at the machine physically then you can sudo shutdown -h now

[11:20] <dayo> where can i get a list of universities and colleges that use linux/ubuntu?
[11:20] <szeck> god day to all, i'm tryng to install a dvb card but it seems impossible, anyone can help???
[11:21] <shaullx> «erUSUL» http://pastebin.com/m3e3f9ec6
[11:22] <zopiac> i set cron to shut down my computer at midnight (* 23 * * * shutdown) but it didn't shut down. Does anybody know perhaps why?
[11:22] <yinlong> who knows how to modify grub?
[11:22] <shaullx> my ethernet device is atheros btw
[11:22] <grawity> zopiac: Are you putting this into your or root's crontab?
[11:22] <erUSUL> shaullx: can yu paste the output of "lspci" ?
[11:22] <grawity> zopiac: Also, 23 isn't midnight, it's one hour before (I think)
[11:22] <Chousuke> zopiac: specify full path to shutdown and check if it needs any arguments :P
[11:22] <shaullx> yeah sec
[11:23] <Chousuke> zopiac: you should need at least shutdown -h now
[11:24] <szeck> god day to all, i'm tryng to install a dvb card but it seems impossible, anyone can help???
[11:24] <yinlong> i mean installed xp and ubuntu.and then i reinstall vista instead of xp.but the boot list is still ubuntu and xp.how to deal with it?
[11:24] <heath|otg> I need dovecot 1.2, are there any good guides for creating debs from source
[11:24] <Wraithan> http://blagwraith.blogspot.com/
[11:24] <Flannel> !checkinstall | heath|otg
[11:24] <zopiac> grawity: right, i was thinking that since it uses 0-23 for its hour system it would be that 0=1, 23=24 (midnight) but that isnt right
[11:25] <grawity> zopiac: midnight is always 0:00
[11:25] <zopiac> yeah i get that now
[11:25] <zopiac> so it might work anways, since i set it up at 11:20 or so which to it is 23:20
[11:25] <shaullx> «erUSUL» http://pastebin.com/m7d10ad76
[11:25] <grawity> 11:20 and 23:20 is not the same.
[11:25] <arangs> hi
[11:26] <zopiac> grawity: how so?
[11:26] <first> hay guys do you know any way to use you ipod on unbuntu
[11:26] <grawity> zopiac: It uses a 24-hour clock. 11:20 is just before mid-day.
[11:26] <arangs> I'm a new here
[11:26] <DJones> !ipod | first
[11:26] <jussi01> !ipod | first
[11:26] <arangs> new to linux
[11:26] <szeck> good day to all, i'm tryng to install a dvb card but it seems impossible, anyone can help???
[11:26] <zopiac> grawity: or let me revise >_<
[11:26] <erUSUL> shaullx: so is this Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1062 (rev c0)
[11:26] <zopiac> so it might work anways, since i set it up at 11:20PM or so which to it is 23:20
[11:26] <jussi01> !tv | szeck
[11:27] <shaullx> no its the other one erUSUL
[11:27] <grawity> zopiac: Second, you forgot the time argument to shutdown.
[11:27] <shaullx> #
[11:27] <shaullx> 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[11:27] <shaullx> oh
[11:27] <shaullx> no maybe ur right
[11:27] <shaullx> lol
[11:27] <grawity> zopiac: 'shutdown now', like Chousuke already said.
[11:27] <first> jussi so i use the second link for my ipod tuch
[11:27] <grawity> zopiac: And third, this must be root's crontab - not your own.
[11:27] <zopiac> oh didt hear that
[11:27] <shaullx> windows told me it was atheros (both of them)
[11:28] <shaullx> anyway what to do?
[11:28] <zopiac> but typing simply 'shutdown' shuts down the computer, so didnt know 'shutdown now' would do anything different
[11:28] <grawity> root@insanity ~ | shutdown
[11:28] <grawity> Usage:	  shutdown [-akrhHPfnc] [-t secs] time [warning message]
[11:28] <grawity> zopiac: Try this command, 'type shutdown'
[11:28] <Chousuke> zopiac: anyway, specify the full path to shutdown
[11:28] <first> pedda* is that pedda bear
[11:28] <grawity> zopiac: It might be an alias or something.
[11:29] <erUSUL> shaullx: that should use the atl1e module
[11:29] <zopiac> first: lol
[11:29] <talin> hello, how can i update the apt package collection?
[11:29] <zopiac> grawity: oh, well i guess its just for Arch linux then
[11:29] <grawity> zopiac: what's just for Arch linux?
[11:29] <shaullx> erUSUL i dont understand
[11:29] <zopiac> grawity: just having to type shutdown
[11:29] <szeck> good day to all, i'm tryng to install a dvb card but it seems impossible, anyone can help???
, apt-get update
[11:29] <erUSUL> shaullx: sudo modprobe atl1e
[11:29] <grawity> zopiac: /sbin/shutdown always requires the time. (And I'm running Arch too.)
[11:30] <Reactor> talin: open yr synaptic and click "Refresh"
[11:30] <erUSUL> shaullx: tell me if a eth0 appears in ifconfig now
[11:30] <Reactor> talin: "Reload"*
[11:30] <zopiac> well i know for a fact that just 'shutdown'  shuts down my computer
[11:30] <shaullx> erUSUL "FATAL: Moudule alt1e not found."
[11:30] <zopiac> in arch that is
[11:30] <shaullx> Module*
[11:30] <erUSUL> shaullx: atle1
[11:31] <jrib> zopiac: you probably want "halt"?
[11:31] <talin> Reactor: i am running console only
[11:31] <grawity> zopiac: well I know for a fact that here it doesn't. I asked you to check for aliases :|
[11:31] <zopiac> grawity: how?
, in this case, login as root and run apt-get update
[11:31] <yinlong> talin,you mean you want to update your package?
[11:31] <Reactor> talin: ok I'll look for any info
[11:31] <grawity> zopiac: "type shutdown"
[11:31] <shaullx> same error erUSUL
[11:31] <shaullx> module atle1 not found
[11:31] <zopiac> grawity: that would be on arch, right?
[11:32] <grawity> zopiac: yes.
[11:32] <zopiac> because im on ubuntu, so i cant >_>
[11:32] <zopiac> well putting into 'crontab -e' * 0 * * *  shutdown now' should work, right? or is that not the root cron
[11:32] <jrib> zopiac: depends where you run crontab -e...
[11:32] <kholzer> In KDE, is there a program launcher that, dependent on the type of file, will open an appropriate program to handle that file?
[11:32] <grawity> zopiac: are you running crontab -e as root?
[11:32] <zopiac> ok, no im not
[11:33] <Reactor> talin: I think that u needn't to refresh apt info
[11:33] <kholzer> (That is, to follow my file type associations I set in the file manager...)
[11:33] <erUSUL> shaullx: i have it here...
[11:34] <erUSUL> shaullx: which kernel version do you have ?
[11:34] <shaullx> erUSUL how to check?
[11:34] <Reactor> talin: oh sorry, type "apt-get update" to update list of packages and "apt-get upgrade" to upgrade installed ones
[11:34] <erUSUL> shaullx: uname -r
[11:35] <talin> Reactor: oki, thanks a lot !
[11:35] <shaullx> erUSUL 2.6.28
[11:35] <Reactor> talin: np ;)
[11:35] <erUSUL> shaullx: do « find /lib/modules/ -name '*atl*'  »

[11:49] <grawity> tim167: The default shortcut is WinKey+scroll
[11:50] <grawity> (Assuming you have Compiz enabled.)
[11:50] <vigo> tim167: Assisted technology?
[11:50] <tim167> grawity: i have no scroll mouse
[11:50] <tim167> eni23: do i have to install that ?

[11:53] <aleray> hi, I'm looking for buying a netbook. I'd like it to have a mate screen, no smaller than 10' and of course fully compatible with gnu/linux. Any advice ? I thought about the samsung nc10 or an eeepc 1000H or so
[11:53] <Turbolinux> Hello. I have HDA Intel soundcard problem on my notebook computer. The sound doesn't run. Can you help me?
[11:53] <optimus_p> ActionParsnip: i am not getting the file, perhaps i am doing something wrong
[11:53] <soreau> aleray: #hardware guys might be able to give you some pointers
[11:54] <soreau> ! audio | Turbolinux
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> optimus_p: e.g.: sudo find / -name "fire*"
[11:54] <aleray> thanks
[11:54] <optimus_p> ActionParsnip: but will it search only in pwd or entire volume
[11:55] <SharpRain> Hello, friends.
[11:55] <tim167> vigo, thanks, orca seems like what i need, but unfortunately the magnifier doesn't work here...if i activate it it switches on and back off quickly...
[11:55] <erUSUL> !intelhda | Turbolinux
[11:55] <vigo> tim167: Hrmm, what version?
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> optimus_p: the / means start at the top of the fs
[11:56] <optimus_p> ActionParsnip: so that is the path
[11:56] <optimus_p> to start from
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> optimus_p: you can change that to wherever you want to start the search
[11:56] <tim167> vigo, don't know, how do i check that, it's on jaunty...
[11:56] <DJJeff> what is the point of # ~/core.###### ?
[11:57] <DJJeff> safe to delete?
[11:57] <jrib> DJJeff: google "gdb core files" I guess...
[11:57] <DJJeff> there is about 25 of them all about 14MB each
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: you most likely had a crash and that is the dump
[11:57] <DJJeff> ok
[11:57] <tim167> vigo: SOLVED: i had to turn OFF desktop effects, now it works :)
[11:57] <DJJeff> safe to delete?
[11:57] <vigo> tim167: That is the version. I think, uname -r and stuff in terminal give the kernel version and such.
[11:57] <jrib> DJJeff: if you don't want to debug, sure
[11:58] <vigo> Sweee!
[11:58] <vigo> *t
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: i'd create a folder and move them to it, if the system is ok for after a few hours (try a reboot too) then you can delete the folder
[11:58] <vigo> tim167: I only know about Orca ans stuff because my vision is poor.
[11:59] <CptnAwesome> !codecs
[12:00] <tim167> vigo, ah ok, i just want to use it for presentations, thanks a lot for the tip!
[12:00] <vigo> My pleasure, and quite welcome.
[12:01] <kvdb> while using eclipse, it seems that ubuntu/gnome/... has stolen the F2, F3 and more function keys that I need in eclipse. How can i disable these mappings in ubuntu?

[12:07] <luist> ActionParsnip: i installed ATI graphics card driver
[12:07] <soreau> kvdb: Sorry, that was my only idea
[12:07] <kvdb> soreau, you think the window manager was interfering?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> luist: ok then in terminal run: compiz --replace
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> luist: the output should help
[12:07] <mifritscher> ! openvz | mifritscher
[12:07] <Chris1> hmm keiner da ?
[12:07] <soreau> kvdb: It is possible but apparently not in your case

[12:25] <luist> soreau: it worked thanks a lot :)
[12:25] <WebUser> fghfhf
[12:26] <soreau> luist: Great, glad to hear it :)
[12:26] <erUSUL> comicinker: define your own umask in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile
[12:26] <luist> soreau: will this still work if i restart?
[12:26] <soreau> luist: Yes
[12:27] <soreau> luist: You should set visual effects to anything other than None in gnome-appearance-properties though
[12:27] <comicinker> thanks. man umask is not available
[12:27] <dank> i'm using "timeout 300 2>/dev/null unison $path". I only want to redirect the output of the timeout command. it's redirecting everything, and unison is putting everything to stderr, so i don't get anything to the screen
[12:27] <deejaydblock> is there anyway i can downgrade to a lightweight version of ubuntu (with only needed apps installed?)
[12:27] <WebUser> hi
[12:28] <Araneidae> deejaydblock, I've wondered that.  The obvious start is to uninstall evertyhing in sight...
[12:28] <Araneidae> the alternative might be to start with Debian instead?
[12:28] <sebastian01> i have problem
[12:29] <dank> yeah, probably use debian, and just install what you need
[12:29] <blue42> exit
[12:29] <ndrwc> deejaydblock, try installing a lightweight wm like xfce and removing gnome etc.
[12:30] <deejaydblock> wm?
[12:30] <comicinker> sebastian01: just ask the question, don't ask to ask
[12:30] <dank> window manager
[12:30] <ndrwc> oh if only I could work out launchpad... :P
[12:31] <dank> when i use timeout to kill a unison job that will take a long time, it leaves the unison process on the server. I've tried -killserver and tried sending different signals, neither worked... any ideas?

[12:40] <indus> !UNETBOOTIN
[12:40] <uriol> it is possible to merge into 1 partition 2 or 3 sd3 partitions that i have on my hard disk ?

[13:05] <bazhang> andreas__, install ubuntustudio-desktop package
[13:05] <soreau> SharpRain: Is it still like that even after restarting X?
[13:05] <SharpRain> Restarting what?
[13:06] <SharpRain> It happens to the whole thing
[13:06] <soreau> !x
[13:06] <SharpRain> I pressed a keyboard shortcut accidentally
[13:06] <andreas__> i download a iso of ubuntostudio ist that ok?
[13:06] <charnel> hi I have 2 ubuntu notebooks and want to connect them . But How can I know the ip of one ?
[13:06] <levander> Is there a recommended way in Ubuntu to run the scripts in /etc/init.d?  I've just been running them directly.  I think in Red Hat, it used to be there was some 'service' command you would use to run the scripts.
[13:06] <soreau> SharpRain: Its probably compiz negative
[13:06] <bazhang> andreas__, not certain there is an iso anylonger
[13:06] <soreau> SharpRain: Try Super+m
[13:06] <charnel> I installed the ssh and selecting connect to a server from places
[13:06] <soreau> ugh
[13:07] <Pici> levander: 'service' exists on newer versions of Ubuntu, the other recommended way would be to use invoke-rc.d servicename start/stop/whatever
[13:07] <erUSUL> levander: invoke-rc.d
[13:08] <bazhang> http://ubuntustudio.org/downloads andreas__ my mistake, here they are
[13:08] <levander> invoke-rc.d is hard to type, bad name for a utility, no wonder i never used it
[13:08] <erUSUL> charnel: how are you connecting them? crossover cable ? a hub? a switch? a router?
[13:08] <revenge> Can someone help me use gmount-iso to actually mount the file system (i.e. mount /dev/sr1 /media/vdrive) and put it in /etc/fstab
[13:08] <erUSUL> levander: tab completion does wonders
[13:08] <andreas__> iso is from windows and not linux, that's right?
[13:09] <charnel> erUSUL: I ahve a hub which is connected to my adsl modem
[13:09] <suigeneris> !video
[13:09] <charnel> and the 2 laptops are connected to that hub too
[13:09] <bazhang> andreas__, ubuntustudio ? no connection to Microsoft
[13:09] <duffydack> revenge, gmountiso is just for mounting isos
[13:09] <allan8904> hey guys, how do i configure my multimedia keys in ubuntu?
[13:09] <charnel> but I want to learn the logic
[13:09] <erUSUL> !keys
[13:09] <duffydack> revenge, like daemon tools/alcohol for windows.
[13:09] <revenge> duffydack: but i want to mount it so that it is in devices
[13:09] <andreas__> ok. i'm a newbie about linux, sorry
[13:10] <revenge> duffydack: but when i use a program it does not recongnize the mounted file like it does my cd/rom drive
[13:10] <damjan> hy. I got some questions
[13:11] <erUSUL> charnel: then give each of the netbooks a valid ip/netmask pair ( 192.168.1.x with netmask 255.255.255.0) and they should be able to ping each other
[13:11] <duffydack> revenge, im not sure how to do that...
[13:11] <erUSUL> charnel: not sure if a modem will work connected diractly to a hub
[13:12] <damjan> I know that I can get virtual network interfaces in ubuntu, but is it posible to get a new MAC address for that virtual interface
[13:12] <charnel> erUSUL: the modem is working fine . But I dont know anything about networking how can I assign an ip from the command line do you ahve a good tutorial for that ?
[13:12] <revenge> duffydack: this is what i'm trying to do: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13458&iTestingId=33660
[13:12] <erUSUL> damjan: try using ifconfig to change the mac ot the virtual iface
[13:12] <erUSUL> charnel: there are plenty on the net.. you use ifconfig
[13:13] <damjan> I know how to change on real network interface
[13:13] <erUSUL> charnel: man ifconfig
[13:13] <SharpRain> You!!
[13:13] <SharpRain> I did that
[13:13] <SharpRain> and It hung
[13:13] <SharpRain> i had to turn off my computer
[13:13] <FloodBot2> SharpRain: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:13] <SharpRain> and lose my work
[13:13] <erUSUL> SharpRain: you did what?
[13:13] <SharpRain> sudo whatever restart X
[13:13] <damjan> Would it be posibel to chanel connection on vlc to that new virtual interface?
[13:14] <soreau> SharpRain: I think youre thinking of Super+m (super is the windows key)
[13:14] <revenge> duffydack: do you see it?
[13:14] <duffydack> revenge, hmm, tried cdeum?
[13:14] <duffydack> cdemu*(
[13:14] <charnel> erUSUL: I don't have that command any way thank you I will make a little research and return back to here if cannot find any solution
[13:14] <SharpRain> Meh, I'm on vista at the moment
[13:14] <SharpRain> I've had enough of ubuntu for now
[13:14] <damjan> haha
[13:15] <damjan> Would it be posibel to chanel connection on vlc to that new virtual interface?
[13:15] <kismet> hey there.. dose anybody know how to fix global menu with firefox?
[13:17] <kismet> seems like a no?!
[13:17] <revenge> duffydack: trying now
[13:17] <duffydack> revenge, mount the iso in fstab? is that all you wanna do?   /home/revenge/file.iso      /media/iso      udf,iso9660 user,noauto,loop    0       0
[13:18] <cursive> does anyone know a good web designing app for ubuntu?
[13:19] <SilentJonathan> ded
[13:19] <revenge> duffydack: in order to mount to fstab i have to type /media/iso      udf,iso9660 user,noauto,loop    0       0 after?
[13:19] <duffydack> revenge, in fact, remove the noauto
[13:20] <kismet> cursive: nvu, screem or bluefish
[13:20] <duffydack> revenge, gksudo /etc/fstab  and
[13:20] <duffydack> revenge, add /home/revenge/file.iso      /media/iso      udf,iso9660 user,loop    0       0
[13:20] <duffydack> revenge, all 1 line
[13:21] <duffydack> revenge, then sudo mount -a
[13:21] <duffydack> revenge, /media/iso needs to exist.. or use whatever folder you want.
[13:21] <cursive> hmm, oke
[13:21] <revenge> daffydack: ok this is my directory /home/revenge/isomount
[13:22] <kismet> cursive: what do you want to develop/design
[13:22] <duffydack> revenge,  /home/revenge/file.iso      /home/revenge/isomount       udf,iso9660 user,loop    0       0
[13:23] <matteo_> h all... I am having problems with my fujitsu amilo PI 1505 keyboard... If i press a symbol key i get another one instead! I think i have pressed a wrong button because all worked since 3 days ago! Any tips?
[13:23] <revenge> duffydack: but the actual location of the iso file is the first part?
[13:23] <cursive> kismet: Nothing major, just a personal website
[13:23] <revenge> duffydack: /home/revenge/file.iso ???
[13:24] <duffydack> revenge, use whatever...
[13:24] <duffydack> revenge,  /location_of_iso/file.iso      /home/revenge/isomount       udf,iso9660 user,loop    0       0
[13:25] <revenge> duffydack: thanks, how do i  unmount it?
[13:25] <vigo> cursive: WYSIWYG type or ?
[13:25] <kismet> cursive: try nvu it is kind of dreamwaver
[13:25] <Rods_Tiger> is there any advice for changing from a different distro to ubuntu but retaining all the data in the user directories? (ie, I don't want to just wipe the hd and install - I'd like to keep the home directories as they are)
[13:25] <cursive> oke
[13:25] <cursive> wysiwyg
[13:25] <duffydack> revenge, you shouldnt need to add it to fstab for that wine/ssf prog... just mount it as needed and when you setup wine just add a mount point and set as cd.
[13:25] <vigo> I agree with kismet. Bluefish is kinda fun also.
[13:25] <ndrwc> Rods_Tiger, you'd have to have /home on a different partition
[13:25] <Rods_Tiger> ok
[13:25] <aliendoggie> hi, i have a strange sound problem. card: internal VIA VT1708S (hda intel). I cannot listen to line-in sound but I can capture it with mencoder. everything in amixer is unmuted. anyone to help?
[13:26] <invisible-pro> will Ubuntu work fine on a Mac ?
[13:26] <duffydack> revenge, having it in fstab will mount it everytime you startup pc
[13:26] <yaron> if I mute my music by scrolling down on the speaker symbol next to my time, it doen't fully mute. Is this a known issue?
[13:26] <matteo_>  h all... I am having problems with my fujitsu amilo PI 1505 keyboard... If i press a symbol key i get another one instead! I think i have pressed a wrong button because all worked since 3 days ago! Any tips?
[13:26] <Rods_Tiger> looks like I'll have to hook up a usb drive and back it up first, then
[13:26] <yaron> I did gogole a bit, but couldn't find anything
[13:26] <Rods_Tiger> invisible-pro: I use ubuntu on my Macbook using virtualbox
[13:27] <invisible-pro> Rods_Tiger: wireless works ?
[13:27] <Rods_Tiger> yep
[13:27] <revenge> duffydack: yeah im kinda new to linux
[13:27] <invisible-pro> Rods_Tiger: do you think it will work on bootcamp as well ?
[13:27] <Rods_Tiger> I've done it with paralleles and vmware, but virtualbox is free anyway
[13:28] <Rods_Tiger> not used bootcamp - I'd prefer not to reboot, but I can't see why not
[13:28] <duffydack> revenge, its only saying to add to fstab so wine when run for the first time will detect what mount points to set.
[13:28] <invisible-pro> Oh ok, I'm not owning a Mac Pro so I don't have that much power to run to OSes
[13:28] <invisible-pro> s/to/2
[13:28] <duffydack> revenge, you can set your own.  its simple enough in the winecfg gui
[13:29] <Rods_Tiger> it'll be ok, try it and see - if you run into limitations, you've not lost anything
[13:29] <revenge> duffydack: ah yeah i see, i just want to get it recognized, its still not showing
[13:29] <invisible-pro> Rods_Tiger: ok , ty for the info
[13:29] <Rods_Tiger> install virtualbox, then install ubuntu into it
[13:29] <bigmack83> is there a way that when youre in the cli to open nautilus in the dir youre at?
[13:29] <duffydack> revenge, recognised where.. ubuntu or wine
[13:29] <invisible-pro> Does Ubuntu come with sshd port open as default ?
[13:30] <revenge> duffydack: wine
[13:30] <duffydack> revenge, is it mounted in ubuntu
[13:30] <Cpudan80> invisible-pro: no
[13:30] <duffydack> revenge, will usually show you a cd icon on desktop
[13:30] <invisible-pro> Cpudan80: ok
[13:30] <Cpudan80> invisible-pro: there is no firewall in the default install, but ssh is not installed either
[13:30] <invisible-pro> ty
[13:30] <revenge> duffydack: yes its in ubuntu
[13:30] <Rods_Tiger> I ssh out from ubuntu on my netbook but haven't tried in
[13:30] <revenge> duffydack: i can see it mounted on desktop and in Places
[13:31] <invisible-pro> Cpudan80:  what kind of firewalls do you recommend ?
[13:31] <Cpudan80> none
[13:31] <kismet> is anyone useing global menu
[13:31] <revenge> duffydack: but it does not recongnize it in Wine
[13:31] <duffydack> revenge, go into winecfg then and add a drive letter, set mountpoint to /home/revenge/isomount
[13:31] <invisible-pro> Cpudan80:  :)) alright then
[13:31] <Cpudan80> Your router should do NAT for you - which is enough
[13:31] <duffydack> revenge, and set type as CDROM.
[13:31] <vigo> !firewall
[13:31] <Cpudan80> Unless you have a public IP, in which case you can do your own standard IP tables
[13:32] <Cpudan80> what vigo said ;-)
[13:32] <navatwo> Okay, I'm trying to get my headphones working in Ubuntu, it was a large pain to get my sound + video working with smplayer, does anyone know why headphones WONT work?
[13:32] <Rods_Tiger> which sort are they? sennheisers?
[13:33] <revenge> duffydack: thanks, lemme see if it works
[13:33] <indus> Rods_Tiger: why is that brand famous?
[13:33] <indus> Rods_Tiger: my 5 dollar headphone works good too
[13:34] <revenge> duffydack: hmm for some reason now wine isn't loading the program lol

[14:05] <julemore> integrated
[14:05] <DJones> !wifi | julemore
[14:06] <julemore> I mean.. it is not an USB wifi
[14:06] <julemore> so is it possible to get it running if it is not an USB DEVICE?

[14:13] <phoe7> ramya. head to wikipedia for telnet information
[14:13] <m0j4h3d> who is asking about telnet
[14:13] <phoe7> brian did u google for support of that mouse
[14:14] <brian___> phoe7: yep
[14:14] <brian___> phoe7: did that already and, so far, blank
[14:14] <m0j4h3d> did any one know how do i get the ip for some one am talking in kmess
[14:14] <m0j4h3d> using backtrack 4
[14:15] <brian___> kind of weird that ubuntu doesn't have an out of the box driver for it
[14:15] <moreia> Um, I'm really hoping someone can help me here.  I'm on Hardy (8.04) and some updates from Monday night to Firefox 3.0.14 have left me with no "submit" button. I can't figure out what this is about but I can do basically anything but click "submit" on the interwebs. Tabbing to the button and hitting return does no better. Any ideas?
[14:15] <johnT> m0j4h3d, not an ubuntu question
[14:15] <Pici> m0j4h3d: We do not support backtrack here, please use their support channel: #remote-exploit
[14:15] <m0j4h3d> ok well done . thanks brothers any way ..
[14:16] <brian___> kind of weird that ubuntu doesn't have an out of the box driver for it
[14:16] <brian___> i'm looking for help for getting an old logitech BJ58 mouse working in Jaunty. currently, it's not detected at all
[14:16] <konza> HI,has anyone used john the ripper?
[14:17] <Guest28774> m0j4h3d have u tryed wireshark
[14:17] <Guest28774> ?
[14:17] <grawity> konza: What is your real question?
[14:18] <rasiq> moreia - try remove and reinstall via apt
[14:18] <konza> grawity,  I installed john the ripper and but i get this error     'no hashes loaded'. I use ubuntu 9.04
[14:18] <brian___> i'm looking for help for getting an old logitech BJ58 mouse working in Jaunty. currently, it's not detected at all
[14:19] <grawity> konza: You need to specify a file that contains hashes.
[14:19] <moreia> rasiq: oh right. that makes more sense than staring blankly at my computer. Will try.
[14:22] <konza> grawity,  first i tried this command  ' sudo unshadow  /etc/shadow /etc/passwd >somefile'
[14:23] <konza> grawity, then i tried this command 'john somefile'
[14:24] <moreia> Okay, this is just weird. I did "sudo aptitude remove firefox" and it isn't gone.
[14:24] <nyk2005> Does someone know a program to classify short (2sec) audio samples (of enviromental sounds)?
[14:25] <Sidewinder1> brian___ > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=906909&highlight=logitech+BJ58  It's an old thread, but at least two folks were using that mouse, perhaps you could politely PM them, That is if no one here can answer your question, which seems apparent..
[14:25] <veasmkii> try looking in synaptic and removing firefox there, its got multiple packages
[14:25] <basajaun> who looks after the lxde repos for jaunty?
[14:25] <Sidewinder1> Oh, he's gone..
[14:26] <jpatota> is there any difference from the user end perspective between the swf players from swfdec, adobe, and gnash. all 3 are options for install when firefox suggests a flash plugin
[14:26] <veasmkii> gnash wasn't so great when i used it, its not a complete solution. You're best off using the adobe one honestly, even though it sucks
[14:27] <basajaun> jpatota,  use adobe
[14:27] <rasiq> jpatota adobe still the best..
[14:27] <temporarytao> anybody had the weird experience of their USB mouse suddenly becoming undetected in Jaunty?
[14:27] <milligan_> I'm trying to establish a VPN connection . Tcpdump of the attempt tells me this: http://pastebin.com/d485e1b28 . Any idea why the client just sits there, trying to get an ip but never receives one ?
[14:27] <basajaun> yes temporarytao
[14:27] <konza> grawity,  u there?
[14:28] <temporarytao> basajaun, is there something up with jaunty these days?
[14:28] <basajaun> had that problem a while back
[14:28] <temporarytao> basajaun, how'd you solve it?
[14:29] <jpatota> veasmkii: basajaun: rasiq: thanks!
[14:30] <basajaun> welcome jpatota
[14:30] <moreia> So no one else is finding that firefox won't stop crashing after the latest update?
[14:30] <temporarytao> basajaun, hate to be annoying but i'd really like to know how you solved the problem
[14:32] <basajaun> temporarytao,  I think one of the kernel updates solved it but I had somewhat improved my lot through installing  storage device manager
[14:32] <Hlao-ru> Hi, how to update openssh & openssl to the latest verison in ubuntu?
[14:34] <temporarytao> basajaun, i'm on 2.6.28-15 now. what's your kernel?
[14:34] <basajaun> why are the ldxe reos for jaunty not updated?
[14:35] <hotdog003> Hello! There's a utility somewhere, but I can't remember its name. You run it in a terminal and click on an X window, and this utility would print info about the window you click on- its class, its size, etc. What was it called?
[14:35] <kevdog> Hlao-ru: For the latest version you would need to compile it
[14:35] <Pici> hotdog003: xwininfo
[14:36] <hotdog003> Thank you, Pici! That's exactly what I wanted. Many thanks.
[14:36] <mika007> Hi! Haven't updated my KUbuntu for a while.... but... is the bug with this DVB-C card "Technorend C1500, later version with 2 antenna sockets: In/Out using 01:08.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01)" already fixed? If not, any chances to get it fixed into [K]Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[14:37] <kevdog> Hlao-ru: For the latest version within the ubuntu repositories, they should be pulled down with the automatic updates, however you can do an update manually if you want -- sudo aptitude update, then sudo aptitude upgrade
[14:37] <basajaun> -14 temporarytao
[14:38] <Hlao-ru> kevdog > hmm okay thanks
[14:38] <mika007> problem: If you just start kaffeine and try to activate DVB-C live broadcast, kaffeine hangs every time. Work-around: if I first start kaffeine, then watch either a DVD disc or a MPEG file on disk, and only after that activate DVB-C live watching, then it does not hang every time, but it still hangs sometimes, but sometimes not (reason unknown for this odd-looking behavior)
[14:39] <beer_> help

[14:46] <aliasp> okay panal y put  panels around the box right click on it
[14:46] <temporarytao> basajaun, so you did not have a "suddenly-disconnecting-USB-mouse" problem then?
[14:46] <jpatota> q!
[14:47] <basajaun> no temporarytao
[14:48] <basajaun> temporarytao,  can you reproduce it with any usb mouse? or just one?
[14:48] <wrapster> a part of which package is javac?
[14:48] <temporarytao> basajaun, just the one.

[14:49] <B9> does anyone know of a text editor that is really light, can be resized, supports fonts of complex scripts and most importantly can be customized to show no menu bars and tool bars to save space?
[14:49] <FoolsRun> Hi, I have a possibly simple question: I have a large scan/fax/copier (rebranded Aficio 2024 I believe) which only supports scan-to-email, not scan-to-folder. The office I want to use this in uses Google for their mail (they're only two people, bringing mail in-house seemed excessive). I'm wondering how difficult it would be to set up scan-to-email using an Ubuntu server as SMTP. I'd probably get RBLed right away, right?
[14:49] <aliasp> my ubuntu os was disconnected after a chat with my isp hmmm?
[14:50] <temporarytao> basajaun, i'm giving this up for now
[14:50] <temporarytao> thanks for the help anyway

Will this entry in fstab continue to make them green after i recursively chmod them?
[14:56] <indus> gondor: u said it was working good before?

[15:02] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  When I do "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" in a shell, the Update Manager window pops up.  How do I make it not do that?
[15:03] <designs703> anyone know of a way to find out my monitor's max resolution and other settings?
[15:03] <jonaskoelker> designs703: xrandr?
[15:04] <credo> designs703: best place is to google you monitors user manual. usually in .pdf

[15:05] <Aison> hello
[15:06] <Aison> googleearth works, but the gui font is crap
[15:06] <Aison> no idea why
[15:06] <gondor> so ?
[15:07] <Aison> how can I setup the gui font
[15:07] <kevdog> When I run the command sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade -- the second command never runs, and I get nothing in terms of an error code for the first command -- nothing in logs -- WHY???
[15:07] <Boohbah> Aison: http://cviorel.easyblog.ro/2009/09/02/fix-google-earth-5-0-user-interface-font-on-linux/
[15:07] <designs703> Aison, it's been a couple years since I installed it, but don't Google Earth and Picasa run through Wine or something similar?
[15:07] <Aison> no, googlearth runs native
[15:07] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: do you need to input your password to sudo?  Does the pass prompt time out?
[15:08] <Boohbah> Aison: it looks like a qt configuration issue
[15:08] <pradeep> Any one familiar with tomboy notes
[15:08] <AmbrNewlearner> hello, I just accidently deleted a folder using shift+del combination on my backup HDD.....how to recover it?
[15:08] <Asad-away> Is there any ext3 data recovery app you know of? fsck deleted one of my VirtualBox hard disk (.dvi) file and it's 0 bytes now :S
[15:08] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: in which context do you run these commands?  Can you pastebin what's in your xterm?
[15:09] <kevdog> jonaskoeller: It prompts me for my password with the first command --- grabs or hits all the repositories -- then returns back to command line without anything running from the second command.  If I run the second commad it does run
[15:09] <AmbrNewlearner> The partition type is ext3
[15:09] <pradeep> Any one familiar with tomboy notes??
[15:09] <jonaskoelker> Asad-away: I've used testdisk to recover partitions, I dunno about ext3 though.  Give it a look?
[15:09] <AmbrNewlearner> Ubuntu is installed on separate HDD
[15:09] <pradeep> I want to see my tomboy notes on my desktop
[15:09] <kevdog> jonaskoeller: I don't understand that question -- What's in my xterm -- I'm just running the commands from the command line
[15:09] <Asad-away> no the partition isn't corrupt .. it's my VirtualBox dvi file that's lost ... :S
[15:10] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: from tty1?
[15:10] <zizou> eenode.net
[15:10] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: well, pastebin the command you run and the output of it
[15:10] <AmbrNewlearner> Asad-away: looks like we have same problem
[15:10] <fission6> how do i change the ownership of apache2 to my user after i install, everything is owned by root
[15:10] <kevdog> jonaskoeller: OK
[15:10] <Asad-away> yea AmbrNewlearner .. i believe we're looking for the same type of app
[15:10] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: (oh, right, ubuntu doesn't use xterm by default... *sigh*... I forgetted...)
[15:10] <elad`> I've installed fs-driver on my WinXP, and it has assigned drive letters to my Ext2 partitions, but when I try to access those partitions, WinXP tells me they're not formatted, and asks me if I want to format them.
[15:11] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: what's the exit status of the first command?
[15:11] <kevdog> jonaskoeller: How do I get that?
[15:11] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: aptitude upsomething; echo $?
[15:11] <AmbrNewlearner> elad`: this had happened with me previously a few times...
[15:11] <B9> danbhfive: thanx for F11 that is WONDERFUL. I have just been playing around with Kate, if I can figure out how to make the background blue and text white in Kate I will be VERY happy.
[15:11] <AmbrNewlearner> elad`: try rebooting XP and then reassign drive letters and rebooting again
[15:11] <chazco> Are some machines just not compatible with apt-get? I have a laptop that always gives a "corrupted filesystem tarfile" error, or similar, when i try to use apt. It has survived many full reinstalls. The HDD and RAM are fine...
[15:12] <wearetherock> Window XP not recognize Ext file system
[15:12] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: you probably want sudo bash, then aptitude update; echo $?
[15:12] <AmbrNewlearner> elad`: This is not full proof way to do this but this works
[15:12] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: to not confuse bash between the status of sudo and that of aptitude
[15:12] <elad`> AmbrNewlearner: Eh, I'll try, but that's pretty much what I've just tried.
[15:12] <kevdog> jonaskoeller: I get 255
[15:12] <Guest80096> en español pleas
[15:13] <alberto2684> alguien en español
[15:13] <elad`> Nope, I can't reassign the drive letter - unknown partition.
[15:13] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: that's interesting
[15:13] <kevdog> I think I might have found the source of the error:  Err http://apt.wicd.net intrepid/extras Packages
[15:13] <kevdog>   404 Not Found
[15:13] <danbhfive> chazco: I doubt that is possible.  Apt-get is essential to install
[15:13] <sipior> !es > alberto2684
[15:13] <rasiq> alberto2684 join #ubuntu-es
[15:14] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: does your aptitude man page say anything about what the exit status of aptitude means?
[15:14] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: (mine doesn't, but I don't know which version you have)
[15:14] <chazco> danbhfive - I would have thought so too... I can install Ubuntu from a CD, but apt-get doesnt seem to ever work... i've no idea why
[15:14] <AmbrNewlearner> Any ideas about how to recover deleted files/directories from ext2/ext3 partitions?
[15:14] <jonaskoelker> kevdog: 255 usually means something bad happened.  In any case, if you run commands "a && b", b will only run if a has exit status 0
[15:14] <jonaskoelker> (by definition of "&&")
[15:14] <danbhfive> AmbrNewlearner: I think there is a program called e2undel
[15:15] <sipior> AmbrNewlearner: http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html
[15:15] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  How do I make the update manager not pop up when I don't want it?
[15:15] <elad`> AmbrNewlearner: Oh, I mounted it read-only, and the faq tells me that's often the cause of the problem. Doesn't tell me how to fix it, though.
[15:16] <danbhfive> fission6: why do you want to do that?
[15:16] <kevdog> I think the wicd repository is bad -- I guess I could just run with the & instead of the && so that the second command would run despite errors
[15:16] <AmbrNewlearner> danbhfive and sipior: ty...I'll have a look
[15:16] <SpaceBass> hey folks
[15:17] <SpaceBass> feel silly with this one but...
[15:17] <elad`> brb
[15:17] <danbhfive> kevdog: I would use ;      what is an &?  I thought that backgrounds a process
[15:17] <SpaceBass> I have a fresh install of 9.04 desktop that I'm using to demo a local install of wordpress - I cannot view the site from any other machines on the same subnet, ssh works fine
[15:17] <SpaceBass> does the desktop install have a firewall on by default?
[15:18] <fission6> danbhfive: because iw ant to be able to write to /var/www under a different user than root
[15:18] <sirhalos> Hi I have Ubuntu Server 9.04 running on a server I'm trying to install a minimal X server. I installed x11-common but it wasn't enough to start up X. Went ahead and installed x11-apps or whatever it was that gives you xterm, xclock, etc. Am I missing anything? I just want X-Window running the default twm.
[15:18] <sipior> SpaceBass: it shouldn't, no.
[15:18] <kavon> How could I control which battery to discharge on my laptop? I looked around in /proc and /sys a little and can't find anything i can change with echo >
[15:18] <danbhfive> fission6: well, it's probably better to just create a folder under /var/www with the permissions you want.  Actually, I'm not sure that works?
[15:19] <AmbrNewlearner> elad`: I dont remember anything about how to give it write permission since I formatted my XP almost a year ago
[15:19] <quake_guy> SpaceBass I installed firestarter. easy to use
[15:19] <lrdofnightmares> Hi guys!! sup??, i have a problem with the wireless internet of my desktop computer, i tryed to use ndiswrapper but i don't know if what i did was right, can someone please help me???
[15:19] <fission6> great
[15:19] <AmbrNewlearner> elad`: Have you seen this? http://www.fs-driver.org/troubleshoot.html
[15:19] <contrast> Greets, everyone...
[15:19] <contrast> I'm about to defrag a couple of 1TB XFS partitions. After much googling, I think I have all the information I need, but I want to be 110% sure that it's safe to do this on filesystems which are currently mounted as readable *and* _writable_. Anyone have any experience in this department?
[15:20] <jonaskoelker> contrast: you could do a test run on a loopback-mounted file system?
[15:20] <charding> Hi, I've just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and I'm having problems with my touchpad (synaptics). I can double click and highlight a word in xterm but trying to double click a buddy in my Pidgin buddy list doesn't work. Or trying to do the same in firefox also does not work. For pidgin, it does not open the chat window, I have to click the buddy atleast three times.
[15:20] <cheater> hi guys...
[15:20] <AmbrNewlearner> Asad_away: danbhfive and sipior gave me some useful info few minutes ago here....have a look
[15:20] <cheater> i have clicked winkey+r and now my desktop is zoomed. how do i turn that off?
[15:20] <kavon> How could I control which battery to discharge on my laptop? I looked around in /proc and /sys a little and can't find anything i can change with echo >
[15:20] <contrast> jonaskoelker: Umm... OK. -_~ (Imagine you're explaining that to a 5-year-old. :D )
[15:20] <jonaskoelker> cheater: what do you mean?  "How do I unzoom" or "how do I disable the keybinding"?
[15:21] <jonaskoelker> contrast: first: dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/contrast/test-run bs=$((1024*1024)) count=1000
[15:22] <cheater> jonaskoelker: how to unzoom. also, if i could find out how to add/remove such bindings, it would be real neat.
[15:22] <cheater> let's start with unzoom though :)
[15:22] <Boohbah> charding: i had the same issue
[15:22] <chazco> Since I can't use apt-get or dpkg can I merge a few applications into a liveCD on another computer and then install from that?
[15:22] <jpic> is the hdd safe when installing on usb (normal install, not live)
[15:22] <jonaskoelker> cheater: I don't know :p but the key bindings, try the system->preferences menu, look for "key<something>"
[15:22] <charding> Boohbah: please tell me I can fix it..
[15:22] <cheater> i figured it out
[15:23] <cheater> what win-r does is it zooms so that the current window takes up maximum screen space.
[15:23] <cheater> so if i click on the desktop and press win-r then it will zoom the whole desktop = 100% zoom = what i want:)
[15:24] <cheater> jonaskoelker: that was very very helpful - thanks!
[15:25] <jonaskoelker> cheater: yw :)
[15:25] <whiter> hello, i have a problem. im trying to install firefox-3.5 (the package) but when i do my firefox is still 3.0.
[15:26] <whiter> i even did 'apt-get remove firefox-3.0' then 'apt-get install firefox-3.5' and i still have version 3.0 after that
[15:26] <willis1> whiter:  check the menus for  'shirtko' thats FF3.5
[15:26] <willis1> !ff3.5
[15:26] <contrast> cheater: Win-key + mouse wheel up/down also. And to change all the bindings to your heart's content, install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager"
[15:26] <willis1> whiter:  with both installed.. you have 2 icons one for 3 one for 3.5
[15:26] <whiter> what im saying is i dont have 3.5 on here
[15:27] <cheater> contrast: great! thanks a lot mate :)
[15:27] <willis1> whiter:  Look in the menus for an icon called 'Shiretoko' tat will be firefox 3.5
[15:27] <mikeyyy> hey all
[15:27] <mikeyyy> i got problem here
[15:27] <whiter> oh i see
[15:27] <skione> hi folks, I was doing some work with Likewise and sso; I tried to remove it and now I broke ubuntu. I need to restore authentication to the default mechanism, any help or walk throughs you can offer?
[15:28] <whiter> why is it called Shiretoko?
[15:28] <mikeyyy> when i try to move my files from ntfs partition, i cancel the progress. To my surprise, some of the files are missing. Im using ubuntu 9.04
[15:28] <mikeyyy> can any1 tell me where did that files go
[15:28] <contrast> cheater: no prob, just don't waste countless hours in that program like i have. :P
[15:28] <Aison> are there some 32bit Qt libraries for ubuntu 64bit?
[15:29] <moreia> I installed a kernel update on ~Monday and I'm getting a lot of weird behavior. Can't submit in Firefox, can't edit addons in Firefox or Thunderbird, and my file navigator and system monitor report no space in /boot when "df -h" says /boot is only 42% full
[15:29] <mo0nykit> I have just installed the rutebook. How do I access it?
 you cannot chmod a file on VFAT disk/partition to be non-executable.
[15:30] <cheater> contrast: thanks :)
[15:30] <charding> Boohbah: ??
[15:30] <cheater> contrast, jonaskoelker: i'm afraid mod4+r is not listed in the 'keyboard shortcuts' list
[15:30] <skione> so can anyone please help me restore ubuntus authentication to its default state?
[15:30] <Idioteque>  <ice_cream>: you cannot chmod a file on VFAT disk/partition to be non-executable.
[15:30] <Idioteque> ?
[15:30] <Idioteque> why so?
[15:31] <Aison> im searching for a 32bit libQtWebKit.so
[15:31] <jonaskoelker> cheater: are you running compiz?  Try looking in ccsm
[15:32] <contrast> cheater: It should be under the Enhanced Desktop Zoom plugin's settings (in the Accessibility category).
[15:32] <AmbrNewlearner> mo0nykit : have a look: http://www.nabble.com/using-rutebook-td19023655.html
[15:33] <ice_cream> ic
[15:33] <xukun> is there a less security risk way of reaching my home ubuntu pc from the internet? por-forwarding is to risky I read
[15:33] <cheater> contrast: ifby 'category' you mean one of those windows you can 'open' on the list of actions, then i only get sound, desktop, window management, and custom shortcuts
[15:34] <skione> xukun: port forwarding is only risky in the sense you expose your computer to the wide open internet. Make sure you use strong passwords and only have the ports open that you need. I actually recommend using ssh tunnels for access
[15:34] <haytham-med> hi all, can i remove the configuration (to return to default) from a certain program without removing the program itself?
[15:35] <beer__> see $HOME/.program_name
[15:35] <jordo2323> When you setup VNC through Gnome in Ubuntu jaunty which server does it use by default?
[15:36] <skione> xerver I believe
[15:36] <skione> xserver
[15:36] <haytham-med> beer__: ok thx
[15:36] <xukun> skione, thanks I will read more on that
[15:36] <willis1> jordo2323:  its using its own gnome version. I think its called 'vino' Unless ive miss read what ive read about it..
[15:36] <haytham-med> so what is the command: rm /home/.programname
[15:36] <haytham-med> ?
[15:36] <Boohbah> charding: fall back to using the button to click instead of the touchpad...
[15:37] <willis1> haytham-med:  depends on what settings and what program you are talking about
[15:37] <contrast> cheater: Erm, not sure what you're looking at. Have you already installed the package I mentioned?
[15:37] <willis1> haytham-med:  not all programs use ~/.programname any more
[15:37] <jordo2323> willis1, I have installed tightvnc, and I think I can connect, but my password never works.  How do you tell if tight vnc is running through command line?
[15:37] <charding> Boohbah: ok, thanks for your intuitive help..
[15:37] <beer__> hayham-med: right
[15:38] <elad`> How do I mount the only HDD when running in LiveCD Mode?
[15:38] <gilonix> someone have experience with Asus UL30A and ubuntu?
[15:38] <willis1> jordo2323:  you Have to run tightvncserver (via 'vncserver' command and set up a vncpassword to use it.. Teres 2 ways vnc can work. Share the CURRENT desktop.. or create a 'hidden' desktop TightVnc creates a sweperate hidden desktoop. It does NOT share the current desktop
[15:38] <mo0nykit> AmbrNewlearner, thanks for the link! it's at /usr/share/doc/rutebook/
[15:39] <skione> ok trying once more and hoping; anyone have experience with ubuntu's authentication mechanism?
[15:40] <haytham-med> ok another question, if i faced i problem with compiz , i remove its configuration by this command rm/home/.compiz ?
[15:40] <elad`> Never mind, new question - how do I check a HDD for defects? Bad sectors?
[15:40] <haytham-med> rm /home/user/.compiz
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> haytham-med:  see if theres a .compiz directory. the settings may not be in there.  the #compiz channel will proberly know exactly where the settings are at.
[15:41] <haytham-med> there is a directory
[15:41] <beer__> rm -rf
[15:42] <bullgard4> [GNOME] When I click on Places > Computer, Nautilus will appear with "Location:=computer:///". Where is this location to be found in the filesystem of my computer?
[15:42] <haytham-med> ok thx Dr_Willis
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> haytham-med:  and looking in that diorectory shows just a 'session'  dir/file here..  thats not all the settings I imagine
[15:43] <grawity> bullgard4: computer:/// is a virtual directory, it only exists inside Nautilus (the file manager program).
[15:43] <grawity> bullgard4: It consists mostly of entries from /media though.
[15:44] <MeowKItten> Hi im using gmont-iso,where would a mount a cd image if i wanted the computer to treat it like it was a CD in my CDROM drive?
[15:44] <grawity> MeowKItten: mount -o loop file.iso /mnt
[15:44] <thedancingdeer> is there any way to make .exe files outof my c/cpp sources which dont use *nix stuff?
[15:44] <cfedde> can Nautilus show NFS servers and volumes?
[15:45] <bullgard4> grawity: What configuration file will list what directories are shown in "computer:///"?
[15:45] <grawity> thedancingdeer: There is - google for "cross-compiling on linux for windows"
[15:46] <bullgard4> grawity: s/list/determine/
[15:46] <allan8904> can ubuntu read windows dynamic volumes?
[15:46] <elad`> Never mind, new question - how do I check a HDD for defects? Bad sectors?
[15:46] <MeowKItten> grawity: fnord@fnord-desktop:~$ sudo mount -o loop /home/fnord/Icewind\ Dale\ I/CD1.cue /mnt
[15:46] <MeowKItten> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[15:47] <grawity> MeowKItten: Ah, I thought you have an .iso...
[15:47] <grawity> bullgard4: I don't know. It probably just lists all drives and removable devices.
[15:47] <johnT> elad`: apt-get install smartmontools
[15:47] <bullgard4> grawity: Thank you for commenting.
[15:48] <hwilde> what bad things will happen if I just disable the e2fsck check every 30 boots ?
[15:49] <kingofpinz> im tryign to set up unattended-upgrades , on my server . though it does not seem to be working how i make it run automatically
[15:49] <grawity> MeowKItten: You could try cdemu for .cue/.bin, or you could convert that to an ISO by using bchunk.
[15:49] <johnT> hwilde, theoretically nothing will happen, checking every 30 boots is just a good thing to be sure filesystem is always ok without loss of data
[15:49] <WXZ> I'm thinking about getting ubuntu
[15:49] <indus> WXZ, good
[15:49] <sipior> hwilde: very little. the filesystem will gradually accrue damage, though, so running every few months or so is probably wise.
[15:49] <elad`> johnT: That looks like it has something to do with mail.
[15:49] <WXZ> can I make my own metadata fields in ubuntu though?
[15:49] <indus> guys i get fsck warnings all the time
[15:49] <johnT> wilde, the routine filesystem consistency does not require much time btw
[15:50] <johnT> *consistency check, pardon
[15:50] <elad`> How do I check a HDD for defects? Bad sectors?
[15:50] <hwilde> johnT, sipior, I have an embedded system, and the customer complains this is happening very frequently due to the how often they reboot, and that it is hanging on boot requiring keyboard and monitor and user input
[15:50] <indus> elad`, windows has some good tools for it
[15:50] <indus> elad`, in linux use smartmontools
[15:50] <egomosis> indus: any idea why?
[15:50] <indus> !info smartmontools
[15:51] <indus> egomosis, i didnt get ur question
[15:51] <johnT> hwilde, you can disable or tune the 30 mount limit btyw
[15:51] <lrdofnightmares> Hi guys!! sup??, i have a problem with the wireless internet of my desktop computer, i tryed to use ndiswrapper but i don't know if what i did was right, can someone please help me???
[15:51] <elad`> Then why does the installation ask me about SMTP?
[15:52] <thedancingdeer> grawity: thanks! :) gcc they say supports it! working on it!
[15:52] <egomosis> indus: why you get disk errors, I've run ubuntu on a bunch of different systems and beat the crap out of it, never had any errors...just wondering what would cause your errors
[15:52] <hwilde> johnT, sipior,  the way I see it, they are not gracefully shutting down, they are just killing power.   and they are doing it hundreds of times.  this will eventually corrupt the flashcard.  what if I make the whole filesystem readonly ?
[15:52] <indus> egomosis, probably failing hdd
[15:52] <elad`> Ah, fuck it. How do I just write zeroes to the HDD?
[15:52] <indus> and i dont beat the c**p out of it either
[15:52] <sipior> hwilde: if it's a chronic problem, you might look into what sort of damage fsck is trying to repair. if they are just cutting the power, tell them not to do that :-)
[15:53] <elad`> And please don't give me that /dev/zero method that never terminates.
[15:53] <Pici> !language | elad`
[15:53] <johnT> hwilde, not sure I understood well: do you want to make the root filesystem readonly? or simply a non-root partition?
[15:53] <egomosis> indus: oh, that makes sense... k
[15:54] <defcon> #remote-exploit
[15:54] <elad`> Sorry.
[15:54] <frostburn> what's a good avant window manager replacement?
[15:54] <johnT> elad`: why zero your hd? if your concern are bad sectors, simply do a complete format
[15:54] <hwilde> sipior, johnT,  the assumption was that the biggest risk to the filesystem is cutting power during write cycles, so what if the filesystme is read-only, then they can cut power with less risk and e2fsck won't delay on boot
[15:55] <johnT> hwilde: yeah, but the root filesystem can't be made read-only, it simply won't work
[15:55] <elad`> johnT: I'm taking it back to the store. I want to erase my data first.
[15:55] <johnT> elad`: don't zero it then, it's highly unsafe
[15:55] <hwilde> johnT, sure it will, with tmfps
[15:55] <elad`> johnT: Unsafe?!
[15:55] <sipior> elad`: don't just write zeroes, then. search for a secure disk wiping utility and use that.
[15:55] <johnT> elad`: yeah, you need a WIPE, not a ZERo
[15:56] <johnT> !wipe
[15:56] <johnT> elad`: there is a 'wipe' packet
[15:56] <hwilde> !shred
[15:56] <hwilde> elad`, you are looking for the command shred
[15:57] <savid> Hi, I'm getting a weird error when running apt-get update:  http://dpaste.com/94386/    It's just saying "Illegal instructionts... 0%"
[15:57] <sipior> elad`: if you're looking to wipe a system, try here: http://www.dban.org/
[15:57] <mo0nykit> I try to mount a CD, but I get the following error: 'mount: unknown filesystem 'iso9660''. What could be wrong here? Should filesystem support be compiled into the kernel?
[15:58] <johnT> elad`: try wipe btw
[15:58] <elad`> wipe?
[15:58] <hwilde> mo0nykit, what is the exact command you are using
[15:59] <elad`> I can't apt-get it.
[15:59] <chazco> Hi... libc6 wont upgrade, how can I clear it and try again? This is on the machine that apt-get usually fails on
[15:59] <johnT> elad`: it overwrites the data many times. takes a lot, but it is far more secure than a simple zero
[15:59] <egomosis> does anyone have any ideas on how to make multiple program launches use the same firefox? ie: I from terminal, launcher and deskbar-applet? They seem to open different profiles or something, even though all are accessing firefox-3.5
[15:59] <elad`> Excuse my language again, but it's never been proven that a single wipe isn't enough. No drive has ever been recovered from a single wipe of zeros yet.
[16:00] <elad`> Oh, I did manage to keep the word "bullshit" out of it. What do you know?
[16:00] <johnT> elad`: it depends on how much you are paranoid :)
[16:00] <elad`> I'm not paranoid. So, how do I write zeros?
[16:00] <lax> anyone have any experience with "crossroads/xr load balance"
[16:00] <eolo999> hi, i have gnome 2.27.9? installed and purged pulseaudio  (don't want my cpu boiled by a 100% process!) but i cannot  find a way to have a volume-control applet of any kind.  Someone can suggest me a solution?
[16:00] <hwilde> elad`, man shred
[16:00] <elad`> To the entire HDD (not just any given partitions), once, with it stopping when it terminates.
[16:00] <mo0nykit> hwilde, mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom (This is actually a debootstrap installation, meant for diskless node boot-up using TFTP and NFS. Anyway, the point is this is just a base system install, so I think there is no support for iso9660 yet. How do I get it?)
[16:00] <Pici> eolo999 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[16:01] <elad`> hwilde: The entire hdd?
[16:01] <eolo999> Pici: thx
[16:01] <lax> what software can you guys suggest for load balancing windows TS
[16:01] <johnT> elad`: do you thing that 'multipass wiping' would exist if one single zero-pass would be sufficient? :)
[16:01] <hwilde> mo0nykit, so you're not using ubuntu?
[16:01] <chazco> Hi... libc6 wont upgrade, how can I clear it and try again? I'm getting the usual "corrupted package archive" message.
[16:01] <elad`> johnT: Yes. People are paranoid. Not all the facts make it all the way through to every person.
[16:01] <Guest91683> can someone help me for a sec
[16:02] <Guest91683> i did apt-get upgrade
[16:02] <mo0nykit> hwilde, I'm using ubuntu (I forgot to mention that. It's an ubuntu base system)
[16:02] <Guest91683> but it says ::::   E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
[16:02] <hwilde> mo0nykit, ubuntu supports iso9660
[16:02] <Guest91683> how do i do that
[16:02] <Pici> Guest91683: run sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal.
[16:02] <lax> what application do you guys use for load balancing 3+ servers
[16:02] <johnT> elad`: I suggest you this brief lecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_remanence
[16:02] <Guest91683> thx
[16:03] <dojo> is there a way to get tsclient to not show the desktop background of the pc you are connecting through for VNC?
[16:03] <dojo> i can't find an option for it
[16:03] <Guest91683> what caused this do u know and what did this command do
[16:03] <lax> has anyone in here ever used crossroads load balancer
[16:03] <elad`> johnT: Irrelevant. I didn't say deletion, I said overwriting with zeros.
[16:03] <Guest91683> just unpack whatever
[16:03] <elad`> johnT: Meaning to say, once is quite enough.
[16:03] <Ziber> I'm trying to set up UnrealIRCd on 9.04, and I'm getting dependency errors about libssl. Any ideas?
[16:03] <mo0nykit> hwilde, I'm doing it in a VirtualBox. Will it make a difference over doing it with a real PC?
[16:03] <johnT> elad`: If you think so, then the /dev/zero suggestion you received is the quickest way
[16:04] <treyh> has anyone ever used Crossroads Load Balancer?
[16:04] <johnT> but elad`, let me suggest to use /dev/urandom at least ;)
[16:04] <hwilde> mo0nykit,  mount -V      what version do you have
[16:04] <Ziber> I'm trying to set up UnrealIRCd on 9.04, and I'm getting dependency errors about libssl. Any ideas?
[16:04] <johnT> elad`, let me suggest to use /dev/urandom at least
[16:05] <nyk2005> Does someone know a program to classify short (2sec) audio samples (of enviromental sounds)?
[16:06] <Guest91683> one more question hhaha never ends with this linux problems
[16:06] <Ziber> I'm trying to set up UnrealIRCd on 9.04, and I'm getting dependency errors about libssl. Any ideas?
[16:06] <Guest91683> i need to rename or move /lib/modules/kernel  or name it kernel.old but it wont let me to install the new kernel
[16:06] <banks> hello

[16:08] <mo0nykit> hwilde, mount from util-linux-ng 2.14.2 (with libvolume_id and selinux support)
[16:08] <banks> ok
[16:08] <adolfon5> and thats all
[16:08] <egomosis> Glaedr: Hi
[16:08] <mtlguardian> then recheck it
[16:08] <Glaedr> I can't change my gtk theme...
[16:08] <adolfon5> i was waiting for 30 mins
[16:08] <mtlguardian> and it should work
[16:08] <hwilde> mo0nykit, that should support iso9660
[16:09] <adolfon5> and nothing
[16:09] <chazco> Sorry, got disconnected. I cleared all the packages out and re-downloaded them... and now a different set of packages refuses to install. I'm guessing this machine just cant be used with Ubuntu :(
[16:09] <banks> ok
[16:09] <jordo2323> How do you start a tightvnc server via commandline?
[16:09] <adolfon5> i tried install it from windows xp
[16:09] <hwilde> chazco, does the livecd work ?
[16:09] <johnT> adolfon5: can't you get any error message?
[16:09] <urthmover> XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 43 requests (43 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[16:09] <banks> well nothing seems to b happening
[16:09] <chazco> hwilde - Yes, but you cant install stuff to it
[16:09] <adolfon5> no no
[16:09] <adolfon5> just appear that
[16:09] <urthmover> How do I wipe clean my xorg config and start fresh?
[16:09] <Guest91683> ok now that i ahve done apt-get dist-upgrade i have /lib/modules/2.6.30.5  and the same thing but 2.6.29.4
[16:09] <egomosis> Glaedr: more input please. What happens when you try and change it, what steps are you taking?
[16:09] <adolfon5> nothing about a Grub error or something
[16:09] <hwilde> chazco, if the livecd works then that system runs ubuntu fine
[16:09] <friendishan> my firefox is geting weird please help me and i don't want to lose any bookmarks,plugins,add-ons,etc and it isn't saving any history and changing the links of all new bookmarks
[16:09] <adolfon5> its really weir
[16:09] <johnT> adolfon5: already did a cd-check?
[16:09] <Pici> adolfon5: Please prefix your messages with the person's name you are responding and don't press enter between every three words. Thanks.
[16:09] <adolfon5> yes

[16:18] <Pici> kingofpinz: Because sometimes apt-get can suggest doing things that might not be a good idea.  I prefer to see what it wants to do before I say yes to do it.
[16:18] <johnT> Tamale, try mounting with sudo
[16:18] <Tamale> johnT: How would I do that?
[16:19] <egomosis> Glaedr: just checking, take your time
[16:19] <Glaedr> egomosis » infact, the other times, the theme could be changed only by gtk-chtheme, this time neither can it
[16:19] <Pici> Guest91683: It looks like you're running Backtrack.  We do not support that here, please use their support channel: #remote-exploit
[16:19] <johnT> Tamale: for example,    sudo mount /dev/sr0
[16:19] <benc> is there a tutorial or documentation how to write init.d script that run on boot?
[16:19] <Guest91683> i cant they were being stupid one day and band me over some question i asked
[16:19] <Guest91683> i ahve never been able to go back
[16:19] <johnT> tamale, alternatively just run your cd burning program from root (f.e:    sudo brasero
[16:19] <Guest91683> i figure ubuntu is ubuntu
[16:19] <hwilde> mo0nykit, try   mount -t udf,iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
[16:19] <Tamale> JohnT: Ok, that worked, but when I try to blank it it says "you are not priviledged to unmount"
[16:20] <contrast> benc: I've got one handy, i can pastebin it for you. one sec...
[16:20] <Pici> Guest91683: Its not. No Ubuntu releases even used 2.6.30
[16:20] <benc> contrast: thanks
[16:20] <johnT> tamale, run the whole program from sudo
[16:20] <Guest91683> ok
[16:20] <Tamale> ok, I found the blank option in brasero
[16:20] <Tamale> supposedly, it worked
[16:20] <Guest91683> but there is no way to just delete that file
[16:20] <johnT> Tamale: do you use brasero? then sudo brasero should fix ;)
[16:20] <mo0nykit> hwilde, okay i'll try that
[16:20] <Guest91683> i says i cant thats what im trying to do
[16:20] <Guest91683> sudo rmdir .../kernel
[16:21] <johnT> tamale, of course its possible to tell the os to mount and umount cd drives without those privileges, but the 'sudo' trick will solve quickier
[16:21] <Guest91683> then i can update since its in the way that or however u rename it kernel.old
[16:21] <mo0nykit> hwilde, still the same error
[16:21] <Moon_Doggy> how do i enable my wireless card using fluxbox or terminal
[16:21] <Tamale> johnT: Thanks.. it looks like it's working.  I'm just frustrated that you have to use sudo just to use your cdrom drive.  It's not a pretty user experience.
[16:22] <IdleOne> Guest91683: We can not help you. check and see if they have a forum you can ask for help on
[16:22] <Guest91683> what is the command to rename a dir again
[16:22] <Pici> Guest91683: Like I said, you aren't using Ubuntu, no Ubuntu package upgrade would ever tell you to do that manually. You need to speak to the Backtrack people on how they want your to do that for their packages.

[16:23] <kingofpinz> Pici, Would you recommend i use aptitude instead ?
[16:23] <cbutler> Moon_doggy: you could try ifconfig eth1 up
[16:23] <cbutler>  iwconfig eth1 essid "ESSID_NAME" key 1010101010
[16:23] <cbutler> dhclient eth1
[16:23] <johnT> ioka, you are not forced to use linux

[16:24] <Pici> kingofpinz: I personally don't like any automatic upgrades.  apt-get and aptitude are the same in this respect, its up to you if you want to do it or not.
[16:24] <johnT> tamale, is it really stuck?
[16:24] <mo0nykit> hwilde, FATAL: module iso9660 not found.
[16:24] <cbutler> hiyaboy: wierd how?
[16:24] <jshultz> even my costco bought hp dv7 1273cl works.
[16:24] <quake_guy> Tamale, I had problems with Brasero as well. It kept crashing on my even after reinstall. I switched to K3B and it works great.
[16:24] <contrast> benc: np. sorry for the sloppiness of that post - it's literally c&p'd straight from an old irc log, just with the name taken out. it's always worked well for me though... out of curiosity, what exactly are you setting up an init script to do?
[16:24] <Tamale> JohnT: there's no activity in 'top'
[16:24] <hiyaboy> cbustler: it dosen't get any new history and automatically changes all the bookmarks location to google or the recently visited page
[16:24] <johnT> tamale, not sure if its a personal luck, but I mount\umount dvd's without root privileges and brasero works great even without sudo
[16:25] <Moon_Doggy> cbutler eth1 doesn't exist neither does eth0
[16:25] <benc> contrast: I want to run an erlang application as a daemon on boot
[16:25] <Tamale> johnT: well, luck shouldn't have anything to do with it.  You shouldn't need to be root just to burn a dvd
[16:25] <hwilde> mo0nykit, hmmm very strange brb
[16:25] <cbutler> hiyaboy: There is a setting in FF that will auto clear history on closing the windows...might want to check that
[16:25] <johnT> tamale, I don't have to do so, and I have a pretty default ubuntu configuration
[16:26] <johnT> tamale, so I guess its simply your configuration
[16:26] <hiyaboy> cbustler: nope not that
[16:26] <mo0nykit> hwilde, sure np
[16:26] <Tamale> johnT: but maybe I'm having especially bad luck.. like I said, it's still not working, not even as root.  The blank command supposedly worked, but it's still 'creating image checksum'
[16:26] <johnT> tamale, try k3b and see if you get the same problems
[16:26] <kingofpinz> Pici, ok , i need help with the script though i want it to grep to a file in /tmp or idealy a email , telling me it updated , here current script http://pastebin.com/m550a576a

[16:27] <Tamale> wow, 73MB install
[16:27] <IdleOne> johnT: instead of telling ioka that he is not forced to use linux you could of asked what he was finding difficult.
[16:27] <cbutler> moon_doggy: can you configure via the GUI? Does it even see the wireless card?
[16:28] <johnT> IdleOne: he said 'its everything so difficult in linux, i am tired' he didn't formulate a valid question
[16:29] <IdleOne> johnT: He is frustrated, years of using windows and then switching to linux will do that to a new user.

[16:48] <nooc> does anyone have a method to use remote desktop via port 80?
[16:48] <Pici> Dominik1: Canonical has given money to freenode, but that question is probably more on-topic for #freenode than here.
[16:49] <adolfon> i dont have idea why in my computer stuck in Loading... please wait screen
[16:49] <Dominik1> Pici: thanks
[16:49] <friendishan> glaedr: i restarted firfox now what?

[16:49] <calogero> ci sono italiani?
[16:49] <johnT> si

[16:50] <Pici> !it | calogero
[16:50] <Moon_Doggy> nvm i figured it out ty cbutler
[16:50] <Glaedr> friendishan » now the problem should be solved

[16:55] <pitput> how do I install skype for ubuntu 9.04? sudo apt-get install skype?
[16:55] <Vashta_Nerada> can someone help me connect my xp to my ubuntu via ssh putty and ultimately to nx?..... it's kinda driving me crazy
[16:57] <johnT> pitput: no
[16:57] <johnT> pitput: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[16:57] <pitput> johnT, is there a latest version out there or just a beta?
[16:57] <johnT> idk, I don't use it ;)
[16:58] <pitput> johnT, do you use ekiga instead?
[16:58] <scott_ino2> pitput, if you use mediabuntu repo you can install skype from apt-get/synaptic
[16:58] <Nijura> hi :)
[16:58] <scott_ino2> pitput, the ekiga voice quality in the newest version is amazing
[16:58] <pitput> scott_ino2, I use ubuntu 9.04
[16:58] <pitput> scott_ino2, have you ever used skype on ubuntu? how does that compare with skype?
[16:59] <scott_ino2> pitput, ?
[16:59] <scott_ino2> pitput, skype on ubuntu works well, I use it often
[16:59] <scott_ino2> for voice and video
[16:59] <adalal> btw..  notice, there's a new skype beta that works great, just as well as it works on windows, minus certain services i think
[16:59] <adalal> i use it
[17:00] <pitput> adalal, is it stable enough?
[17:00] <adalal> very
[17:00] <scott_ino2> pitput, it works very well, like i said i use it often
[17:00] <adalal> pitput: very, and it integrates well with pulseaudio. .the current beta version
[17:01] <pitput> I hate myself now for not buying a pc with webcam and microphone
[17:02] <Moon_Doggy> mod it'
[17:02] <adalal> pitput: external ones cost cheap anyways
[17:02] <adalal> :P
[17:02] <johnT> pitput: webcam and micro are easily available everywhere :D
[17:02] <savid> Hi, I'm getting a weird error when running apt-get update:  http://dpaste.com/94386/    It's just saying "Illegal instructionts... 0%"
[17:02] <nooc> is it possible to use remote desktop software that uses only port 80, i am berrind a firewaal but would like to use any remote desktop software like VNC but i just have 80 and 443 ports access?
[17:02] <pitput> johnT, Yeah, I know, but it would be nice to have it included. haha
[17:03] <jordo2323> Is there a way to log a user into Gnome from an SSH Commandline connection after a reboot?
[17:03] <scott_ino2> pitput, I actually hate my built-in microphone and simply want a nicer one now ;-)
[17:03] <scott_ino2> so just buy a nice one that supports high-rez
[17:04] <pitput> what is the latest gnome kernel?
[17:04] <Pici> pitput: gnome and the kernel are two different things.
[17:04] <pitput> scott_ino2, what brand is your pc and how long ago did you purchase it?
[17:04] <scott_ino2> pitput, you mean kernel? 2.6.31 stable is latest kernel
[17:04] <frede> How can i check the manufaturer id from a dvd on ubuntu?
[17:04] <Halitech> pitput, do you mean what is the kernel version in the latest version of ubuntu?
[17:04] <scott_ino2> pitput, hp dv2 and about 5 months ago
[17:04] <pitput> Pici, yeah, just the kernel
[17:05] <pitput> Halitech, yes
[17:05] <charding> Hi, I've just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and I'm having problems with my touchpad (synaptics). I can double click and highlight a word in xterm but trying to double click a buddy in my Pidgin buddy list doesn't work. Or trying to do the same in firefox also does not work. For pidgin, it does not open the chat window, I have to click the buddy atleast three times.
[17:05] <Pici> pitput: 2.6.28-15.49 in jaunty-updates
[17:05] <philbo> hi there
[17:06] <pitput> Pici, scott_ino2 thank you
[17:06] <nic1> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[17:06] <nic1> any idea, about the above error?
[17:08] <sebsebseb> hi
[17:08] <philbo> I've got a USB midi device. It works fine with my ubuntu based distribution "openArtist" - but not elsewhere. I'm trying to debug / identify the chipset used - any idea how to profile USB devices from the commandline? I remember using lsmod and scanpci a looong time ago. Anything similar?
[17:08] <Halitech> sebsebseb, howdy
[17:08] <Pici> philbo: lsusb :)
[17:08] <pitput> what is a good webcam you guys can suggest?
[17:09] <jeromel> hi all
[17:09] <nooc> lspci
[17:09] <nooc> ls usb
[17:09] <sebsebseb> Halitech: hi
[17:09] <jeromel> I have a problem with my partitions. I want to update the size of my linux partition, but Gparted does not accept that. Can anyone say me why?
[17:09] <nooc> dmesg
[17:10] <wng-> my machine crashed in the middle of installing nvidia-glx-180 via apt-get, now apt-get is giving me errors: dpkg: error processing nvidia-settings (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2, any ideas how i can remove these packages that didn't fully install?
[17:10] <nooc> jeromel, probably the partition is monted, try tu use a boot cd
[17:10] <philbo> Pici: thanks! lsusb is pretty good
[17:10] <adalal1> jeromel: most of the time, it's because the last end bits of the partition you want to merge are filled
[17:11] <philbo> nooc: thanks - lspci and lsusb are pretty good - I hadn't thought of using dmesg, good tip.
[17:11] <jeromel> nooc : no I used a boot cd. adalall : I moved the free space after my partition I want to resize
[17:11] <ChrizC> does anyone know of a good PDF editor for Ubuntu?
[17:11] <jeromel> ChrizC:  OpenOffice !
[17:11] <ChrizC> and I emphasize, EDITOR, not reader :) ty
[17:11] <jeromel> =D
[17:11] <nooc> okay
[17:12] <ChrizC> jeromel: openoffice does pdf?
[17:12] <philbo> unfortunately, the dmesg just says "usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio" and lsusb lists NNNN;NNNN device ids with no descriptors
[17:12] <philbo> I'll keep digging
[17:12] <aar> Hi, is it possible to create a searchable pdf from an image file in Ubuntu?
[17:12] <jeromel> ChrizC:  yes you do your document with all links you want, all text and image you want, after just push the PDF button close to the Save button
[17:13] <ChrizC> jeromel: does it open pdf files too?
[17:13] <ChrizC> jeromel: apparently not.
[17:13] <jeromel> ChrizC: I believe yes
[17:13] <jeromel> but I think you cannot modifiy a pdf
[17:13] <Reals> I have a problem where my intel wireless card switch doesn't seem to work all the time so I bought a wireless card...when my intel wireless switch is turned off they both turn off? how can I stop this from happening?
[17:13] <Ktron> Is there a way to 'separate' <alt> from <meta>? I want to be able to use <meta>s and <alt>s as different shortcuts
[17:13] <ChrizC> it is possible under Windows using Foxit
[17:13] <pitput> Can I just use SKype as am IM service like aim or yim?
[17:14] <jeromel> yes
[17:14] <jeromel> but not with openoffice
[17:14] <johnT> ChrizC: already tried pdfedit?
[17:14] <scott_ino2> pitput, yes but only with skype's protocal I believe
[17:14] <jeromel> that what I would say
[17:14] <ChrizC> johnT: nope, I didn't know that existed
[17:14] <jeromel> someone for my resizing partition?
[17:15] <johnT> ChrizC: me neither, i just opened 'add-remove' and searched for pdf
[17:15] <seidos> does abiword have export to pdf functionality?
[17:15] <Reals> my wireless switch turns off both my wireless cards how can i change that?
[17:15] <ChrizC> johnT: E: Couldn't find package pdfedit
[17:15] <johnT> jeromel: to resize partitions you can use gparted
[17:15] <ChrizC> johnT: I used sudo apt-get
[17:15] <pitput> scott_ino2, meaning only to people who have skype?
[17:15] <nooc> thanks, no answare
[17:15] <johnT> ChrizC: check your repositories ;)
[17:16] <jeromel> johnT:  yes but It does not want to resize and I have no explanation =S
[17:16] <jeromel> is it possible to resize all type of partition ?
[17:16] <johnT> jeromel: is the partition mounted?
[17:16] <sebsebseb> seidos: don't think so
[17:16] <scott_ino2> pitput, yes, i don't think it's multi-protocal like other aim clients
[17:16] <jeromel> I thought it is because it is a xfs partition
[17:16] <jeromel> johnT no
[17:16] <johnT> jeromel, XFS can only be grown, not shrunk
[17:17] <jeromel> ok I want to grown of 18 Go
[17:17] <johnT> jeromel: make sure the fs is ok
[17:17] <jeromel> does the free space need to be after or before ?
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> jeromel:  there may be some XFS tools package you need to install to let gparted have full features for xfs perhaps?
[17:17] <Reals> I have 2 wireless cards, when I turn the swtich off for 1 they both turn off, how can i change this?
[17:18] <johnT> jeromel, it shuoldn't matter
[17:18] <aar> Hi, is it possible to create a searchable pdf from an image file in Ubuntu?
[17:18] <jeromel> ok =S so i don't see =|
[17:18] <jeromel> Dr_Willis:  I don't know, I used the gparted tool on a USB boot device
[17:18] <superkuh> On hardy; gksudo and sudo both segfault if I leave a blank CD-R in the drive. Is there a solution?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> jeromel:  it proberly doswetn have the xfs tools installed by default
[17:19] <scott_ino2> aar, try the scribus channel, they have a lot of knowledge in the pdf realm
[17:19] <jeromel> Dr_Willis:  oki I succeed to move the partition
[17:19] <johnT> jeromel: sudo apt-get install xfsprogs
[17:19] <aar> scott_ino2, thanks
[17:19] <jeromel> johnT: can I use this with the gparted boot ?
[17:19] <Sentynel> I updated my nVidia drivers to the latest drivers from their site, following instructions on this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125400 It's all working except that it's broken my automount of an ntfs partition. Tells me unprivileged users can't mount NTFS block devices with the external FUSE library. How do I fix it?
[17:19] <scott_ino2> aar, they might not be responsive since most of them are in the uk
[17:19] <scott_ino2> not sure where you're located
[17:19] <jeromel> now I cannot because the partition I want to resize is my root
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> jeromel:  also i recall there can be issues if the 'unallocated' space you are growing the filesystem into.. is not on the same partition 'type' (ie primary vs logical) you can get into issues
[17:19] <johnT> jeromel, yes
[17:20] <Reals> I have 2 wireless cards, when i turn the switch off for one, they both become disabled? how can I change that?
[17:20] <philbo> thanks for the help guys - much appreciated. maybe see you back here soon! ;o)
[17:20] <wng-> my machine crashed in the middle of installing nvidia-glx-180 via apt-get, now apt-get is giving me errors: dpkg: error processing nvidia-settings (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2, any ideas how i can remove these packages that didn't fully install?
[17:20] <Ktron> I'm trying to figure out how to separate <Super> from <Hyper> and/or <Alt> from <Meta>, any suggestions?
[17:20] <jeromel> oki thanks
[17:20] <jeromel> I will try this
[17:21] <superkuh> On hardy; gksudo and sudo both segfault (gdm trace: http://pastebin.com/m656f1f39) if I leave a blank CD-R in the drive. If I take it out it they work fine. Is there a solution?
[17:21] <nexes> why wont ubuntu let you update firefox??? Anyone know?
[17:21] <johnT> wng-: check if   'sudo apt-get check' fixes the problem
[17:21] <blankhead> im using xchat and i want to connect to irc.blackened.com how do u do that
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> nexes:  you can install firefox 3.5  package.. and it will show up under a different icon name
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> !ff3.5 | nexes
[17:21] <Reals> I have 2 wireless cards, when I turn the switch off for one they both become disabled?
[17:21] <Reals> how do i fix that?
[17:22] <sebsebseb> nexes: Ubuntu only does security updates in the repos
[17:22] <hdon> i can't get rm(1) to produce a french error message. help!
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> nexes:  Install the FF3.5 package.. look for shiretoko icon.    or just wait for  the next relesase
[17:22] <sebsebseb> nexes: then you have to  wait for next Ubuntu, or use a ppa or  whatever to get later major versions of packages
[17:22] <hdon> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/671515
[17:22] <ph33r> how do I install ff 3.5 stable in jaunty? I have ff 3.5.4pre atm, but want to shift to stable
[17:22] <hdon> i have installed language-pack-fr
[17:22] <erUSUL> !ff35 | ph33r
[17:23] <pitput> nexes, sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[17:24] <falco_> I've got remote desktop trouble, can anyone help?
[17:24] <Reals> I have a wireless card problem can anyone help?
[17:24] <falco_> I forwarded the ports but it still says it's only accessible to the local network
[17:25] <nexes> why is it called shiretoko?
[17:25] <grawity> !ff35 | nexes
[17:25] <grawity> nexes: See that link.
[17:26] <nexes> is it not actually mozilla firefox, but a "sudo" firefox browser
[17:26] <nexes> thanks grawity
[17:27] <johnT> nexes, not sure you understood
[17:27] <sachael> anyone know a way to open the skype window from the command line if it is hidden in the systray
[17:27] <pitput> so Ekiga. Will there charges by calling my Ekiga number on a landline and vice versa? What about cellphones to Ekiga and vice versa?
[17:27] <falco_> I forwarded the ports but it still says it's only accessible to the local network
[17:28] <falco_> I've got remote desktop trouble, can anyone help?
[17:28] <nexes> johnt: i agree with that, i dont understand, im coming from fedora 11, and i never had this problem
[17:28] <scott_ino2> pitput, calling landline/cell phones yes, you'll have to signup for an account but the costs are small
[17:28] <scott_ino2> i only use paid skype and not ekiga for landline calls
[17:28] <scott_ino2> so i couldnt' tell you the process/how much
[17:29] <johnT> nexes, its not a problem :) the ubuntu team wanted to allow firefox 3.0 and firefox 3.5 to be installed both without interfering, so they called the 3.5 version shiretoko but it actually IS firefox 3.5.  In the next ubuntu release it there will only be firefox 3.5, without any more shiretoko
[17:29] <Nijura> hello :) i just installed ubuntu and my display is flickering :( i got a hp compaq 6715b notebook with an ati radeon x1250 graphiccard and there seems to be no driver for it :< what shall i do now?
[17:29] <johnT> nexes, source :  http://is.gd/1reB3
[17:29] <pitput> scott_ino2, is there a program like AIM that could handle skype and such webcaming/VOIP?
[17:29] <arvind_khadri> hi, i have installed openssh-server on the computer i want to ssh into, its on the same network..but  there i have logged in a different user, the client says that there is no route to host. what to do?
[17:30] <scott_ino2> pitput, the most recent version of pidgin handles voice/videochat through xmpp
[17:30] <nexes> ok, thanks jonhT, im a developer but whenever i have to deal with "this" stuff i feel like a newbie sometimes, So then do i have firefox installed twice, taking up more disk space?
[17:30] <pitput> scott_ino2, thanks again
[17:30] <scott_ino2> np
[17:30] <nathan__> hello everyone :)
[17:30] <johnT> nexes, you can remove firefox-3.0 if you prefer
[17:30] <chris-dowle> is keyserver.ubuntu.com down?
[17:31] <scott_ino2> pitput, check the pidgin website for a list of supported protocals, i know they're working on implementing more for videochat
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> nexes:  becuase they dident want to Force everyone to use 3.5 - thats just how ubuntu handles 'btween release' updates
[17:33] <fccf> chris-dowle: Yes, the ubuntu keyserver is down ... Alternative server ... pool.sks-keyservers.net  -- will update to ubuntu when ubuntu is back up
[17:33] <bro> Nijura, what version of ubuntu did you install?
[17:33] <nexes> thanks guys, i think i got it now :-) by the by, im liking ubuntu much more the fedora and i loved fedora
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> nexes:  ff3.5 broke some things for me. .i had to use 3.0   for many tasks.
[17:33] <Nijura> i installed ubuntu 9.04, bro
[17:34] <chris-dowle> fccf: ty :-)
[17:34] <bro> Nijura, did you try to install the proprietary drivers from ubuuntu? menu-system->administration->hardware drivers ?
[17:35] <sivang> hi all
[17:35] <fccf> !hi |sivang
[17:35] <sivang> can anybody tell me if it's good to get a netbook with intel gma 950 ? will it support future version of ubuntu? what is the status of the intel driver and is it open source?
[17:36] <sivang> hey fccf
[17:36] <Nijura> bro: yes i tried that, but there was only a driver for my wlan, nothing else
[17:36] <sebsebseb> sivang: currently there are issues with many Intel graphics cards in 9.04, but 9.10 should have  that kind of stuff fixed
[17:36] <sebsebseb> !intel |  sivang
[17:37] <bro> Nijura, did you already updated your system via update manager?
[17:37] <sebsebseb> sivang: also  Intel graphics  cards hmm,   Nividia would be better
[17:37] <Nijura> bro: yes i did
[17:38] <bro> Nijura, do you have any graphics drivers installed as we speak?
[17:38] <bro> Nijura, any failed installation, or smt/
[17:38] <fccf> sivang: there is a regression for the GMA950 in Jaunty ... In future versions that should be fixed .. I know for a fact that that card is supproted in the Hardy 8.04 version, and works well.. So Yes in the future it will be supported, and as most netbooks have either the Intel (which is the better chip) or Via, which support should be improving for
[17:38] <arahiel> arah
[17:38] <arahiel> hej
[17:39] <fccf> sebsebseb: do you know of a netbook that has Nvidia? I don't

[17:47] <DaZ-> ~/.fonts
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> ratapoil:  .fonts is one place
[17:47] <MenZa> ratapoil: ~/.fonts if you wish to keep it as your own user, or if you want it system-wide, /usr/share/fonts/truetype
[17:48] <ratapoil> thanks MenZa & Dr_Willis

[17:48] <ltcabral> hey... i installed a gtk2 theme but it didnt appear in "window borders" just in "controls" how can i change window borders? is it something related to emerald?
[17:48] <jeromel> Dr_Willis:  I cannot resize it even if I install xfsprogs
[17:50] <raider_> hi ppl
[17:50] <arahiel> sebsebseb: how do I edit autostart
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> !autostart
[17:52] <Dark-By-Design> Hello guys. I have a problem with an old laptop. It would not boot into windows because a system file was missing. I could not reformat the computer using the windows disc, it wouldn't load properly so I tried ubuntu live cd and now it is coming up with a ton of I/O errors and SQUASHFS errors. saying sb_bread failed reading block "0xa538a" and unable to read page, block "insert long number here"
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> jeromel:  is the empty space  inside a extended partition? or outside. alongside the primary parittions?
[17:52] <Dark-By-Design> I have done a battery of hardware tests, all of which had passed except for ram, and I swapped the ram out... the hard drive seemed to past hardware tests through pc-check
[17:52] <jeromel> Dr_Willis I have 4primary paritions and  an empty space
[17:53] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: Did you burn the CD at a very low speed, and check the md5sum of the ISO images?
[17:53] <Dark-By-Design> MenZa: no, I did not
[17:53] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: that might be your problem. Burn it at high speeds, and it might corrupt itself in the process. Or the image might be corrupted from the start.
[17:53] <AmbrNewlearner> I formatted my new Seagate 250GB hard disk under Ubuntu using Gparted (ext2 fstype)...Then I backed all my data to it....now when I rebooted the partition is not mounting in Ubuntu...
[17:53] <MenZa> !fstab | AmbrNewlearner
[17:53] <Dark-By-Design> MenZa: ok, I will attempt that
[17:54] <AmbrNewlearner> Gparted says: " unknown filesystem"
[17:54] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: Seet. See !burn for more information :)
[17:54] <AmbrNewlearner> MenZa: The problem is that gparted says now "unknown filesystem"
[17:54] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: Err, sweet*
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> jeromel:  thats how i parititon also. Could be some quirk/limits with usign xfs. there may be some guides on resiuzing xfs maniually
[17:54] <andares> Hey, is there any advantage to using Ubuntu Netbook Remix over regular Ubuntu, performance-wise?
[17:54] <MenZa> AmbrNewlearner: That sounds... weird. You could try fscking it
[17:54] <MenZa> andares: Nope. It's just optimised for a smaller screen.
[17:54] <MenZa> !nbr | andares
[17:54] <sebsebseb> andares: If your on a netbook  use the netbook version, if  your  not on a netbook use the desktop version
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> AmbrNewlearner: how are you mounting it? how did you back up data to it?
[17:55] <AmbrNewlearner> MenZa: I must also mention that this system also has another Samsung 40GB HDD connected....
[17:55] <andares> MenZa: beyond just different dpi settings for Xorg and such?
[17:55] <Dark-By-Design> MenZa: so would i be choosing the lowest speed possible? 2.4?
[17:55] <AmbrNewlearner> Dr_Willis: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/new
[17:55] <MenZa> andares: I'm not sure it has that - it has a different launcher than Ubuntu.
[17:55] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: Preferably, yes.
[17:55] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: Have you md5sum'ed the CD image?
[17:55] <jeromel> Dr_Willis so Can I create a partition and change the mounting point ?
[17:55] <AmbrNewlearner> Dr_Willis: I backed my data using nautilus GUI
[17:56] <Dark-By-Design> MenZa: no, i am finding he md5sumnow
[17:56] <MenZa> andares: See the link ubottu posted a minute ago.
[17:56] <andares> MenZa: doesn't have what? It has to have different dpi, otherwise all the text would be fun-sized, no?
[17:56] <MenZa> andares: I can't say I have a lot of experience with NBR. Check the wiki link.
[17:56] <andares> 'k
[17:57] <AmbrNewlearner> Can this be possibly caused by e2undel that recovers deleted files from ext2 fs?
[17:57] <andares> huh, apparently the daily builds are broken. :|
[17:57] <AmbrNewlearner> I tried using e2undel...but it ended with some error....
[17:57] <sivang> what about intel 900 ?
[17:57] <sivang> is it better?
[17:58] <MenZa> !hardware | sivang
[17:58] <ltcabral> hey... i installed a gtk2 theme but it didnt appear in "window borders" just in "controls" how can i change window borders? is it something related to emerald?
[17:58] <MenZa> ltcabral: That depends if it's an emerald theme.
[18:00] <sierinjs> i have a laptop with ubuntu and without internet working.. well i'm cool with that, but what app could i bring there with my mem stick to make it play mp3 with a GUI? ;-D
[18:00] <hakmn> hii guys !  i am using ubuntu 9.04 & trying to install softwares using apt-get utility , i am working on college LAN connection
[18:01] <hakmn> but it says unable to install since could not resolve the http://erpostiroy url
[18:01] <seidos> sierinjs: if rhythmbox doesn't work for you, totem will
[18:01] <Dark-By-Design> MenZa: checked md5sum, it is correct, i will now burn at a low speed and try booting to the disc again
[18:01] <bro> Nijura, hang in there, we're working on your problem :)
[18:01] <andares> ...erpostiroy?
[18:01] <andares> Really?
[18:01] <seidos> !ati
[18:01] <sebsebseb> sirastin: Internet not working???  which version of Ubuntu,  and wireless or ethernet?

[18:01] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: Good luck :)
[18:01] <Q|> Hi Folks. Anyone an idea why my X limits my resolution to 1600x1200 with the new monitor, even though it can display 1944xsomething?
[18:02] <hakmn> i googled it & found that  i need to edit /etc/hosts
[18:02] <Nijura> bro: :)
[18:02] <Q|> The Monitor is not being recognized
[18:02] <hakmn> & add ipaddress of the repos
[18:02] <andares> hakmn: there you go. :)
[18:02] <Dark-By-Design> MenZa: the problem with the computer was, it would not reinstall the native OS from recovery discs, and it would not boot to a windows OS disc, and it would not boot into windows, so I was thinking it was perhaps a corrupted hard drive, so I tried to boot to linux live CD to reformat the drive, since all hardware tests came back negative
[18:02] <sebsebseb> !codecs  |  sirastin
[18:03] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: it could be, but just to rule out the setup medium, I suggest trying that first
[18:03] <hakmn> although process is going on for few seconds but after that it again gave same error
[18:03] <Dark-By-Design> MenZa: alright, well it only takes 4minutes to burn at 2.4x speed, which is the lowest option i had... so we will know soon ;)
[18:03] <MenZa> Dark-By-Design: I'm going to have to run off. I need to pack for a trip, but I'll check back. Let me know how it goes.
[18:03] <hakmn> btw, i am able to download packages using synaptic but not apt-get
[18:04] <hakmn> similar is the prob with yum in fedora
[18:04] <Dark-By-Design> MenZa: alright
[18:04] <sivang> is this a channel for identifed folks?
[18:04] <Myrtti> sivang: howcome?
[18:05] <IdleOne> sivang: I dont think you have to be identified to join #ubuntu
[18:05] <eddo> Hey, does somebody knows how to send a process some signal?
[18:05] <jeromel> Dr_Willis: I just saw that i can use xfs_growfs, can you explain me how to use it?
[18:06] <arvind_khadri> eddo, kill -9 sends singal for killing it
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> jeromel:  not a clue. i never yuse xfs
[18:06] <jeromel> oki thanks
[18:06] <arvind_khadri> eddo, be more clear about the type of signal you want to send
[18:06] <hakmn> am using internet using wired lan/dhcp connection
[18:06] <eddo> arvind_khadri, sorry
[18:07] <eddo> arvind_khadri, i want to send a signal like "pause" to a simple media software

[18:07] <Trijntje> akshay: what is your problem?
[18:07] <arvind_khadri> eddo, are you coding it? or do you just want to pause?

[18:09] <Dark-By-Design> or actually, anyone else know what it means when u boot to live cd and it takes u to a "(initramfs)" prompt
[18:09] <arvind_khadri> eddo, then use the pause button, read the man pages if the player is terminal only
[18:09] <MenZa> camonz: 53g if you wanted to go to line 53.
[18:09] <camonz> MenZa: thanks

[18:10] <huwaw69> i have tried to change scs.msg.yahoo.com to its numeric values still it won;t connect
[18:10] <eddo> arvind_khadri, but i don't know how to send a signal to a process
[18:10] <huwaw69> Dark-By_Design have you tried changing the scs.msg.yahoo.com

[18:13] <akshay> where is #c++.....iam nt able find it
[18:13] <jiffe> anyone used any distributed file systems on linux?  Wondering if there are any recommended ones that are mature and still highly developed
[18:13] <akshay> iam not able find #c++
[18:13] <bro> Nijura, try to install the ATI drivers following this how-to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI .  and get back to me. if it doesn't work or you don't get 3d acceleration, you might have to downgrade to Ubuntu 8.04
[18:13] <monostone> i have a problem setting up a subversion source repository using apache, i am constantly getting 'permission denied' errors, how can i figure out what user was atempting to write? so i can see if file ownership is correct.
[18:14] <arvind_khadri> akshay, i replied to your question, include the line using namespace std; and recompile the program
[18:14] <hakmn>  although process is going on for few seconds but after that it again gave same error,similar is the prob with yum in fedora,am using internet using wired lan/dhcp connection
[18:14] <AmbrNewlearner> akshay: then as Trijntje said, try in #c++
[18:14] <eddo> arvind_khadri, you know how to send a signal to any process?
[18:14] <Trijntje> akshay: type /join #c++
[18:14] <akshay> where
[18:14] <seidos> bro: how is your ati setup?  do you have 3d acceleration/compiz without any freezes?

[18:21] <huwaw69> Dark-By-Design open your pidgin and disable your yahoo account first
[18:21] <Dark-By-Design> huwaw69: right...
[18:22] <huwaw69> Dark-By-Design then after you disable your yahoo account, modify it and in the advance tab, change scs.msg.yahoo.com to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com
[18:22] <huwaw69> Dark-By-Design hope that works for you too

[18:28] <Dr_Willis> Dark-By-Design:   you could format the HD from safe graphics mode.. or from the command line if you wanted to.
[18:28] <joyce> I want to search my server for files containing url(beginning with http://) other than http://www.sub.domain.com and http://www.domain.com. Can someone please tell me how to do it with grep or awk? Thanks
[18:28] <Michalxo> daylon, probably the same error :-/
[18:29] <daylon> yeah the same
[18:29] <daylon> any idea how to get it back?
[18:29] <Dark-By-Design> Dr_Willis: i cannot get into the live cd in safe graphics mode... that is the problem
[18:29] <bro> Nijura, no, i thought you're using a desktop, not a notebook. no you can't. you have to downgrade to ubuntu 8.04. you have to fresh install it, there's no way to do it like the upgrading unfortunately
[18:29] <xmnt> joyce, man grep

[18:29] <Michalxo> daylon, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=612165
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> Dark-By-Design:  Hmm.  you could try an alernative cd - or some system 'rescue' live cd - if ubuntu is having issues with your hardware.
[18:30] <Michalxo> daylon, restart X should be sufficient ... log out/in :)
[18:30] <bro> Nijura, really sorry man, i feel your pain, maybe you'll want to get a second opinion on this before reinstalling
[18:30] <joyce> xmnt: i tried grep. and it lists all urls, including sub.domain.com and domain.com. I can't find out how to filter those domains alone.
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> Dark-By-Design:  i forget teh options on the live cd. if you could just get to a shell. You could format the HD from there. What are you wanting to Install to the hard drive anyway?
[18:30] <Nijura> bro: :/
[18:30] <joyce> I believe I have to use ^. But it is not working for me :(
[18:30] <Nijura> bro: thanks for your help

[18:35] <Nijura> seidos: no i didn't :)
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> ganeshpaidtsfi:  you have to some how disable the desktop in gnome for you to be able to see them. Check in #compiz - i never used that feature.
[18:35] <seidos> Nijura: ah.  You're name is Nijura non Ninjura...my bad

[18:35] <Mebbytime> Hi, I have an onboard via ac97 sound card. My problem is that even though lspci seems to see it, I don't have any sound. /proc/asound/cards doesn't seem to see any sound cards. Can someone help me please?
[18:36] <Nijura> seidos: the link bro gave me? yes i tried that
[18:36] <mattus> anyone know of a nice full blow beginner's guide to Ubuntu? i'm 21, and have been using Windows since Win 3.1 - i need out!!! i've messed with Ubuntu, openSuse, Fedora, and i wanna get into freeBSD, but i'd like to master Ubuntu and its command line and use to full potential
[18:36] <seidos> Nijura: I haven't read the how to yet
[18:36] <mattus> full blown*
[18:36] <seidos> Nijura: I can tell you what happened with my intel driver though
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> !training | mattus
[18:36] <seidos> Nijura: basically, compiz isn't supported...yet, but they are working on it.
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> mattus:  theres some free books on Ubuntu out.
[18:37] <devD> is it not possible to update through apt if you are in your college lan means you are behind proxy
[18:37] <seidos> !ati
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> devD:  apt supports getting info from behind a proxy yes. it has proxy settings.
[18:37] <TLF> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-karmic-migration-assistant <--- regarding this, the "deferred" line what does means, that is going to be released within alpha6 of karmic?
[18:37] <mattus> Dr_Willis, thank you, as im sure this question is possibly asked a lot!
[18:38] <Nijura> seidos: ok, that is the link bro gave me, it didn't work :/
[18:38] <Pici> TLF : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[18:38] <seidos> Nijura: what was your lshw -C video output?
[18:38] <mattus> i read an interesting view on Windows is Not Linux
[18:38] <TLF> Pici: I'm on it, but noone was able to answer my question
[18:38] <xmnt> !weather
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> mattus:  actually most peopel are able to figure out gnome. :)     but part of 'knowing' linux well.. is understanding the history of why thyngs are the way they are.
[18:39] <queso_> Is there a standard key-combination to change volume in Ubuntu/Gnome? (My keyboard doesn't have embedded volume control.)
[18:39] <Mebbytime> does anyone have an ac97 sound card?
[18:39] <MTec007> i tried to install firefox-trunk but i cannot find out how to launch it. is it not a compiled version of firefox like im thinking it is?
[18:41] <mattus> Dr_Willis, am i starting with the wrong distro then? i would like to escape reliance on GUI, and start driving the OS car instead of being in the back seat!
[18:41] <Nijura> seidos: lshw -C just gives me a overview about the command. sorry i'm newbie :s just installed ubuntu today ^^
[18:41] <Mebbytime> mattus: i suggest you install gentoo then
[18:41] <devD> Dr_Willis, it says  it says unable to install since could not resolve the http://erpostiroy url..
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> mattus:  use ubuntu.  Its one of the easiest to get into. just because it has a GUI odsent mean you cant learn to use the shell/terminal/commands
[18:41] <seidos> Nijura: lshw -c video, don't forget the video
[18:42] <Dark-By-Design> I have a Windows problem that turned into an Ubuntu problem, the problem is long and is listed on pastebin. Would appreciate any help. Thx. http://pastebin.ca/1568609
[18:42] <Nijura> seidos: WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> devD:  I never yuse the proxy stuff.. and dont know how your network is set up.  if you can web surf from behind the proxy you should be able to update/upgrade I imagine.
[18:42] <Trijntje> mattus: i find i use the terminal every day because it is often the fastest way to do something. No need to do something for it, it just happens
[18:43] <Nijura> seidos: and a different prompt then ^
[18:43] <devD> Dr_Willis, ok
[18:43] <mattus> oh i see
[18:43] <seidos> Nijura: how do you run it as super user?  answer:  sudo
[18:43] <mattus> i guess im just frustrated with being served all the time by an OS, instead of serving the OS itself
[18:44] <devD> anybody know which protocol is used by aptitude to get packages ?
[18:44] <devD> ftp ?
[18:44] <Nijura> seidos: so i need to write sudo in front of it?
[18:44] <Pici> devD: http
[18:44] <mattus> i'd rather enter a journey of Unix and Linux then just give up because of fear
[18:44] <AxesDNite> how do I free my swap in jaunty ?
[18:44] <devD> Pici, ok it mean if ftp is blocked  through proxy, that will not affect, apt
[18:45] <Pici> devD: Correct.
[18:45] <iceroot> AxesDNite: closing applications
[18:45] <Trijntje> mattus: maybe its better to talk about that in ubuntu-offtopic, stricktly speaking this is a channel for ubuntu problems
[18:45] <seidos> Nijura: yes.
[18:45] <Nijura> seidos: omg it worked :o what do you need? all infos?
[18:45] <devD> ok

[18:47] <seidos> Nijura: I think you need the open source radeon driver because your card is older.
[18:47] <Nijura> seidos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/272272/
[18:47] <bro> Nijura, you were told about the open source drivers ?
[18:48] <hwilde> what's the best way to make a read-only system?   for an embedded compact flash card
[18:48] <jeromel> Dr_Willis:  I understood how to make with xfs_growfs, but the it is not possible ! It says to me that the actual size is the maximal size ='(((

[18:57] <seidos> paschu: yes, there is a version for ubuntu
[18:57] <paschu> wow thats awesome
[18:57] <igneousquill> paschu I've even gotten the adobe flash player up and running using a live cd, no install.
[18:57] <MrObvious> Dark-By-Design: Did you look at the hard drive?
[18:58] <Dark-By-Design> MrObvious: what do you mean look at it?
[18:58] <kris_> Hello. I am currently experiencing periodic disconnects to my school's wireless access point. I am running Intrepid, and have an Atheros AR242x wireless card.
[18:58] <paschu> igneousquill: i installed ubuntu
[18:58] <zaggynl> Where should I edit the PATH variable? I've googled and looked at /etc/profile and ~/.bashrc but nothing about a PATH variable
[18:58] <MrObvious> Dark-By-Design: There may be a problem with it.
[18:58] <igneousquill> paschu: I'm just saying it's easy.
[18:58] <paschu> ah k
[18:58] <MrObvious> Dark-By-Design: You may want to try to run SpinRite if you have a copy.
[18:58] <seidos> igneousquill: that's pretty cool, I haven't played around with running off the live cd
[18:58] <jimcooncat> Dark-By-Design: I suspect you still have RAM issues. Mr Obvious: he can't boot the CD, not just the hard drive
[18:58] <djbpython> ubuntu is running sluggish, how can i see which programs are taking up resources?
[18:59] <kris_> zaggynl: You can edit the PATH variable from the command line:
[18:59] <djbpython> I am new to ubuntu
[18:59] <zaggynl> kris_: but is it permanent?
[18:59] <Dark-By-Design> jimcooncat: right, but the ram i am using now is known to be good and passed pc-check tests
[18:59] <kris_> zaggynl: "$ export PATH="newpath:$PATH"
[18:59] <Michalxo> djbpython, top / or install sudo aptitude install htop
[18:59] <kris_> zaggynl: To make it permanent, add the above line (sans $) to your .bashrc.
[18:59] <Michalxo> djbpython,  which is nicer ;)
[18:59] <cheater> thank you Pici
[18:59] <zaggynl> thanks kris_
[18:59] <MrObvious> Dark-By-Design: Bad CD drive?
[19:00] <Dark-By-Design> MrObvious: I always appreciate a good guessing game...

[19:00] <ganeshpaidtsfi> how to start awn at startup? i checked with sessions, but itss not recognising command, whats command for awn?
[19:01] <jshultz> scared me for a second, then realized i'm on ubuntu
[19:01] <kris_> jshultz: Lol.
[19:01] <m3F> hi! :)
[19:01] <MrObvious> jshultz: And? You're not running Windows are you?
[19:01] <jshultz> i went to a website looking for a 360 version of scribblenauts
[19:01] <jshultz> nope, i'm not running windows. but it does a damn good job of trying to make you think you are.
[19:01] <jimcooncat> Dark-By-Design: Only other thing I can think of is to netboot or boot from a USB stick. You may have a drive problem as Mr. Obvious suggests, or perhaps a bus problem (which would feed both the hard drive and cd)
[19:01] <Dark-By-Design> MrObvious: you... don't like to read, do you...
[19:01] <kris_> Hello. I am currently experiencing periodic disconnects to my school's wireless access point. I am running Intrepid, and have an Atheros AR242x wireless card.

[19:02] <n0gear> ganeshpaidtsfi: startup applications and comman is awn-autostart
[19:02] <Dark-By-Design> jimcooncat: right, i am suspecting more along the lines of a motherboard issue, but I am surprised all my hardware tests passed... yet I am unable to do anything it seems
[19:02] <kris_> zaggynl: I think because "most" people should be OK with a standard path.

[19:08] <m3F> Dark-By-Design: If i want it to play and that is useless, that is not my problem, if it is useless then Ubuntu could erase this pseudo-ability to play LogOut sounds, right?

[19:09] <m3F> Dark-By-Design: if plying logout sounds is useless, then Why ubuntu has it as a feature (even if it doesn't work? :D
[19:10] <mgv1> what is the difference between cdrom and cdrom1?
[19:10] <m3F> Dark-By-Design: ok, i really like playing sounds in my computer, Log-in, log-out, alerts, etc

[19:11] <Dark-By-Design> m3F: yeah, me too, so if you figure out this logout sound thing, tell me how you fixed it;)
[19:12] <m3F> Question: LogOut Sound does not play in Ubuntu since years. why?
[19:12] <bro> Mostwanted72, just a second, to check your card
[19:12] <Mostwanted72> ok
[19:12] <seidos> Mostwanted72: you may need to install the open source driver and not the binary driver
[19:13] <Mostwanted72> ok can you point me in the direction of open source driver
[19:13] <bro> yes Mostwanted72 , your card is not supported anymore, by the proprietary drivers
[19:14] <Nijura> seidos: in my xorg.conf is no ServerLayout section i could check, do i have to add it? and there are no sections about keyboard or mouse, i hope they also work without these sections :x
[19:14] <seidos> Mostwanted72: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[19:14] <bro> Mostwanted72, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[19:14] <Mostwanted72> cool ty guys
[19:15] <seidos> Nijura: you can add the section, but you can try first without it
[19:16] <bro> sorry seidos, i left you alone :), i'm getting back my amarok 1.4. the 2nd version is cursed by the Gods :D
[19:16] <piglit> Mostwanted72, install midnight commander (it is like norten commander)you can start this program with the command mc in a console, try editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf or when this doesnt work just put back the old xorg.conf
[19:17] <seidos> bro: we should both be able to help.
[19:18] <seidos> bro: we should be able to offer better support together than separately, you were able to look up his card faster than I was able
[19:18] <danpandrea> cannot install easycam. Any other sugestions on how to install the webcam?
[19:18] <paschu> i cant install the flashplayer but i dont know why
[19:18] <seidos> paschu: what flash plugin did you install?
[19:18] <seidos> danpandrea: did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam?
[19:19] <seidos> danpandrea: ekiga is the only place that seems to work with my webcam, but I haven't tested a call yet
[19:19] <paschu> seidos: none
[19:19] <txt23> How do i unzip a file with the same name in the command line?
[19:20] <seidos> !flash
[19:20] <danpandrea> i'll give it a look
[19:20] <losher> txt23: what's the name of the file?
[19:20] <seidos> paschu: try that link
[19:20] <wearetherock> what meaning of the same name?
[19:20] <ne0h> you can also download flash from adobe.com
[19:21] <ne0h> as .deb for example
[19:21] <txt23> losher: yea
[19:21] <seidos> ne0h: you can also do sudo apt-get but I don't know the name of the newest flash plugin...I know it's probably not flashplugin-nonfree
[19:21] <roy_1> Hi! My grub2 boot screen is set to 1024x768x32 with a background image, but the screen is not entirely filled. Looks like the refresh rate is set too low. Is there a way to change that?
[19:21] <paschu> seidos: i klicked on the "Download the Flashplayer here" but nothin happened
[19:22] <losher> txt23: show me what you have tried so far...
[19:22] <txt23> for z in *.zip; do unzip $z; done
[19:22] <txt23> but it tries to overwrite the files
[19:22] <seidos> paschu: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[19:23] <ne0h> seidos: most easy is the website
[19:23] <waqas> echo
[19:23] <seidos> ne0h: I find typing sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer to be easier
[19:24] <ne0h> seidos: it comes to the same
[19:24] <ne0h> seidos: i just wanted to show another way
[19:24] <seidos> ne0h: paschu tried the website, and he said "nothing happened"
[19:24] <seidos> ne0h: ah
[19:24] <jhattara> should i just run a "fsck.ext3 -pckyv DEV" on this drive: http://pastebin.com/d7a88de0
[19:25] <paschu> i tried the sudo thing
[19:25] <paschu> and it seemed to work
[19:26] <paschu> BUT WHATS THIS!??
[19:26] <seidos> !yell
[19:26] <paschu> the sound works perfect, but the video is just a picture
[19:26] <paschu> :O
[19:26] <losher> txt23: there are flags for overwriting. e.g. -o and -B, depending on what you want to do
[19:27] <seidos> !fsck
[19:27]  * seidos applauds ubottu 
[19:28] <TJ324> is there any way to "repair" ubuntu? a "make uninstall" command removed everything from /usr/share/applications and similar areas, which apparently isn't backed up by sbackup
[19:28] <txt23> losher: Got it to work the command  for f in *.zip; do unzip "$f" -d "${f%.zip}"; done works great!
[19:28] <txt23> Thanks for your help though
[19:28] <paschu> hey guys, i installed the adobe flashplayer by using sudo and it isnt working cuz its like a picture
[19:29] <paschu> the vid stopped at 00:08 and when i click play, its still at 00:08
[19:29] <paschu> what to do? you are the linux guys
[19:29] <Trijntje> Hi all, can anyone confirm for me that OpenOffice depletes /dev/random?
[19:29] <sivang> i can't seem to find reports for X4500, does it work okay with Ubuntu versions ?
[19:29] <Trijntje> !details | paschu
[19:30]  * sivang is on brink of getting an X200
[19:31] <sivang> I'm also curious about 4500M HD
[19:31] <sivang> which is not listed in the hardware compatibility list
[19:31] <losher> jhattara: you don't really have much choice. If you don't repair the filesystem, you risk losing more and more data if the corruption spreads...
[19:31] <paschu> im using ubuntu netbook remix 9.04 and I installed the adobe flashplayer by using sudo and when I open a video from youtube, i can see that it loads, and then its only a picture but the sound works
[19:32] <TJ324> is there any way to repair the /usr/share directories (like make aptitude reinstall the information for them)?
[19:33] <jhattara> losher, and with those exact options i wrote ?
[19:33] <Nijura> seidos: flickering seems to be gone :>  but now i can't use a resolution higher than 1024x768 although i wrote 1680x1050 into the xorg.conf :)
[19:33] <seidos> Nijura: does your monitor support higher resolutions?
[19:33] <jwfoxjr> does anyone here have experience w/ 9.04 on a HP/Compaq 8510w business notebook?  I need to find out if there are any issues extending onto an external monitor
[19:34] <Nijura> seidos: before i played in the config is had higher config
[19:34] <Nijura> *resolution
[19:34] <paschu> hey guys! i really need you help
[19:34] <paschu> i already postet my problem
[19:34] <paschu> but nobody answered
[19:35] <seidos> Nijura: as long as your monitor supports it, I wouldn't want it to get ruined
[19:36] <Nijura> seidos: when i installed ubuntu the higher resolution was default setting, so i think it does
[19:36] <mowhawko> got a quick ram question, anyone available? =)
[19:36] <Nijura> seidos: with windows i also used higher resolution
[19:37] <iceroot> !ask | mowhawko
[19:37] <seidos> Nijura: I see
[19:37] <seidos> Nijura: maybe the server layout section is necessary in xorg.conf?
[19:38] <losher> jhattara: I don't think -c and -k have any real effect on modern drives, as they manage their own bad block lists internally, but it's should be harmless to include them. I don't use -y myself, as I prefer to work interactively: if there are a lot of errors, e.g. dozens, I might cancel the fsck and try and do a backup of critical files first....
[19:38] <Nijura> seidos: but i don't know what to write for InputDevice
[19:38] <spson3289> afternoon everyone - I am having trouble finding information on the site/wiki/etc. - I have an Acer 10.6" Netbook and I am trying to install
[19:38] <mowhawko> =) ok - I just installed 512mb of ram (2x256) in an older P3 box - BIOS recognizes all 512, as does lshw -C memory. However, xubuntu system monitor and top both display only half of the installed amount. what gives?
[19:38] <webbb82> i need some help i keep geting this The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[19:38] <webbb82>   lifesaver: Depends: python-pygoocanvas (>= 0.14.1) but 0.12.0-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
[19:38] <webbb82> E: Broken packages
[19:38] <webbb82> but i installed python pygoocanvas
[19:38] <spson3289> afternoon everyone - I am having trouble finding information on the site/wiki/etc. - I have an Acer 10.6" Netbook and I am trying to install Ubuntu on it - however it is not picking up the network port - making it near impossible to somehow fix the issue - can anyone assist???
[19:38] <LexR> apt-get autoclean
[19:39] <mikejet> Are there keyboard shortcuts to control the main volume control that's in the top panel?
[19:39] <seidos> Nijura: does your mouse work?
[19:39] <mikejet>   .. Using the mouse to go up there and move the slider is super annoying.
[19:39] <gandhi> you can set them in the keyboard shortcuts
[19:39] <gandhi> just go to system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[19:40] <Pici> webbb82: I don't see lifesaver in the repositories.
[19:40] <webbb82> i did the autoclean but i still get the same error
[19:40] <mmlj4> what debian screwups has ubuntu avoided? iceape? the SSH hole? what else?
[19:40] <Nijura> seidos: atm it is just a plug and play mouse and that works. and the touchpad too. will try to get the other mouse working later
[19:40] <webbb82> Pici: i add'd the repo
[19:40] <fccf> !ot | mmlj4
[19:40] <Pici> mmlj4: Thats probably more on-topic for #ubuntu-offtopic than for #ubuntu
[19:40] <tonyyarusso> mmlj4: Ubuntu had the same SSH vulnerability.
[19:40] <seidos> Nijura: I wouldn't worry about it if your mice work
[19:40] <Pici> webbb82: Where did you get the repo from?
[19:41] <mmlj4> tonyyarusso: thanks
[19:41] <Nijura> seidos: ok
[19:41] <webbb82> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/lifesaver-screensaver-for-gnome.html
[19:41] <mikejet> gandhi, Is XF86AudioRaiseVolume aready set to something? I like to use standard shortcuts - is there one that's common for this?
[19:41] <gandhi> not that i know of
[19:41] <gandhi> my keyboard  mapped it automatically to the volume buttons
[19:42] <gandhi> cause i have so
[19:42] <mowhawko> I just installed 512mb of ram (2x256) in an older P3 box - BIOS recognizes all 512, as does lshw -C memory. However, xubuntu system monitor and top both display only half of the installed amount. what gives?
[19:42] <jhattara> losher, mounting and reading data shouldn't damage the disk any further ?
[19:42] <Pici> webbb82: That package is only available for Karmic (the next version of Ubuntu) and its dependencies are not satisfyable in previous releases of Ubuntu.
[19:43] <webbb82> ahh i see thanks
[19:43] <^Einstei1> In the past week I've had two instances of some daemon crashing (I suspect) after which my ssh key passphrases and such are not automatically found for me. /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login is still running. Logging in again does not solve the problem; I am forced to reboot, after which it works fine. The problem has recurred. Any suggestions?
[19:43] <webbb82> i was thinkin about installin karmic i hear its pretty stable now
[19:43] <Pici> webbb82: Check the topic in #ubuntu+1
[19:44] <Nijura> seidos: adding the ServerLayout section didn't change anything. do you think it would help to take out the Display subsection?
[19:44] <Alestan> Quick question:  When you put a .forward in your home folder, does it/is there any easy way to make it keep a local copy of the emails it forwards?
[19:44] <sunshinepants> webbb82: maybe try a livecd liveusb of it before you deploy..
[19:44] <movela1> webbb82: its better to stay w/current release for now. in my experience. rc & betas you will always have some issues... if it works use it. you can create a partition to test out karmic
[19:46] <movela1> but we always learn new stuff w/linux. so gfim!
[19:47] <losher> jhattara: reading is generally harmless, though it can cause the disk to reallocate sectors if they can't be read. It really depends on why you got errors in the first place. If you hard drive is permanently damaged, anything could happen when you try and access the data. It's it's just a simple corruption due e.g. to power loss, then fsck should recover it without further problems. The only way to know for sure is to try it...
[19:47] <webbb82> ya i had it isntalled last  week and it ran pretty good
[19:47] <jhattara> losher, i suspect the main reason is my kid who pressed the reset button once too often
[19:48] <losher> jhattara: understood. In that case, it should recover ok and hopefully that'll be the end of it...
[19:48] <Krudd> Is there any release date for Lesbian Llama yet?
[19:49] <szeck> hi all, i have a vodafone internet key. Is up and running and connected and in windows goes so fast. Here in ubuntu it seems like is limited. the band, i mean. Anyone can help?
[19:49] <jhattara> losher, but you'd first mount it and copy the essentials before attempting to repair it ?
[19:49] <arrrghhh> hey all, how can i tell what type of card my network controller is?  i know it's an intel, but this guy claims there's no drivers for WinPE - so I figured I could use ubuntu to figure out what type of card it is... dmesg didn't really help out a lot.
[19:49] <mikejet> I guess I need to get a keyboard with volumn keys next time.  I think I'll use this row of 3 buttons: www, mail, search .
[19:49] <losher> jhattara: depends how valuable the data is. If it's priceless/irreplaceable, I would...
[19:49] <Cpudan80> you can use ethtool
[19:49] <Cpudan80> arrrghhh: ^
[19:49] <mikejet> (i mean ill use those for my volumn keys)
[19:50] <Krudd> arrrghhh, "lshw" or "lspci -v" will help you
[19:50] <arrrghhh> thanks, i'll try those.  yea, i forgot about lspci!
[19:51] <seidos> Nijura: you could try.  my xorg.conf doesn't have a display subsection
[19:51] <blackxored> what to do when evolution keeps throw errors like: Can't store folder Inbox. Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
[19:51] <Krudd> arrrghhh,  I'm here to help
[19:51] <arrrghhh> Krudd: thank you sir!
[19:51] <Krudd> Now, can someone tell me the release date for Lesbian Llama, please
[19:51] <jhattara> losher, e.g. lots of photos without backups, some other documents with no backupt, basically most of it is irreplaceable, thanks, i'll first try to rescue the data and then rescue the disk
[19:51] <szeck> hi all, i have a vodafone internet key. Is up and running and connected and in windows goes so fast. Here in ubuntu it seems like is limited. the band, i mean. Anyone can help?
[19:51] <mowhawko> =) ok - I just installed 512mb of ram (2x256) in an older P3 box - BIOS recognizes all 512, as does lshw -C memory. However, xubuntu system monitor and top both display only half of the installed amount. Any ideas what is going on?
[19:51] <Krudd> jhattara, rare pr0n?
[19:52] <Nijura> seidos: it works now :D thank you very much for your help :> you made my day \o/
[19:52] <niko> Krudd: wrong channel i guess
[19:52] <movela1> anyone tried spicebird?
[19:52] <seidos> Nijura: I'm glad :)
[19:52] <Krudd> Nikelandjelo,  for what?
[19:52] <szeck> hi all, i have a vodafone internet key. Is up and running and connected and in windows goes so fast. Here in ubuntu it seems like is limited. the band, i mean. Anyone can help?
[19:53] <Primo_pinguino> szeck... how do you configure your internet key?
[19:53] <Oreo_Speedwagon> Look at all of them. :o
[19:53] <Nijura> cu all :) *hugs all*
[19:53] <Krudd> niko, hmm, for what?
[19:53] <Nikelandjelo> Krudd: I didn't say anything ;)
[19:53] <losher> jhattara: for forensic analyses, they make a bit-for-bit copy of a filesystem before they start working on it. If your data is truly precious, you should be backing it up semi-regularly, since it's only a matter of time before you eventually get a hardware failure, law of averages....
[19:53] <Krudd> Nikelandjelo, sorry, I got TAB happy
[19:54] <mikejet> Okay, my volume shortcuts manipulate the graphic.  But how do I get that graphic to control my Analog/Front instead of Analog/Center, the way the panel volumn control does?
[19:54] <Krudd> losher, you know it, pappy
[19:54] <jhattara> losher, yeah, i've learned my lesson, i'm just hoping it's not too late
[19:54] <vadi2> How can I log the individual bandwidth usage of a process?
[19:55] <Krudd> jhattara,  just stop using it immediately
[19:55] <Krudd> jhattara, and do a bitstream dump, as suggested
[19:55] <szeck> hi all, i have a vodafone internet key. Is up and running and connected and in windows goes so fast. Here in ubuntu it seems like is limited. the band, i mean. Anyone can help?
[19:55] <jhattara> Krudd, the hard disk is just connected, but not mounted, bitstream dump wouldn't be possible atm as i don't have a big enough disk available
[19:56] <losher> jhattara: Most of us learn this the hard way. From what you posted, the damage looks minimal, just an orphaned directory, resulting in a few files losing their names and getting put into lost+found for you to pick up later. Good luck...
[19:56] <Krudd> jhattara, well, if you don't want to lose anything, disconnect it. There is a possiblity it will be written to or even fsked when not mounted
[19:56] <Krudd> jhattara, just saying, if it's really valuabe
[19:57] <webbb82> i have kind of a stupid question but what are the numbers next to the distro mean   as in linux i686 and i386
[19:57] <mikejet> What is the program that runs when I hit the volumnup and volumndown keys?
[19:57] <Primo_pinguino> Can someone help me configuring out a proper broadband connection?
[19:57] <Primo_pinguino> webb... is the architecture...
[19:57] <jhattara> losher, i should probably mount it read-only just to be on the safe side
[19:57] <dragon> Given a box, how do I find out the authentication mechanism? This box isn't using /etc/passwd.
[19:58] <losher> jhattara: if you're going to attempt a backup, I would mount it read-only...
[19:58] <losher> webbb82: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/fedora-linux-meaning-of-i386-i486-i686-373612/
[19:58] <jhattara> losher, just -r option, nothing additional needed ?
[19:58] <gonzzor> I'm trying to access a davs share using "Connect to server", But I only get HTTP Error Authorization required. However the same username and password works using Fedora 11 and Gentoo, is there some way I can debug this problem?
[19:58] <Krudd> webbb82,  yeah, it's the architecture. i686 refers to later x86 CPUs, i586 earlier ones, etc. x86 just basically means "PC architecture" for you use anyway
[19:59] <losher> jhattara: yep, -r is all you need...
[19:59] <seidos> where is apachectl located?
[19:59] <webbb82> thanks eve3ryone
[19:59] <Pirate_Hunter> wow ssh is refusing connection from my other box which is weird since I didnt add any new block rules in ufw, anyone care to tell me how I go about finding whats has caused this?
[19:59] <blackxored> what to do when evolution keeps throw errors like: Can't store folder Inbox. Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
[19:59] <JonyBlaze> anyone know anything about a bug that at boot your screen starts flickering when ubuntu loads console fonts and keymap?
[19:59] <Slart> seidos: "locate apachectl" should tell you, if it's installed
[19:59] <Krudd> webbb82,  however, keep in mind other *nixes use the term i386 for everything - new or old
[19:59] <jhattara> losher, thanks, i'll get onto it
[20:00] <losher> jhattara: good luck...
[20:00] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: ssh -vvv user@host  ←This will tell you exactly where the connection is failing
[20:00] <ViaNocturna> hey, anyone able to help with my audio? it works great but when i plug head phones in it plays out of headphones AND speakers
[20:00] <Krudd> Pirate_Hunter,  have you tried with no firewall?
[20:00] <Krudd> jhattara, are you sure it wasn't rare pr0n?
[20:01] <^Einstei1> In the past week I've had two instances of some daemon crashing (I suspect) after which my ssh key passphrases and such are not automatically found for me. /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login is still running. Logging in again does not solve the problem; I am forced to reboot, after which it works fine. The problem has recurred. Any suggestions?
[20:01] <Slart> ViaNocturna: usually the headphone jack and the speaker jack have different volume sliders in the gnome volume control applet.. if not..well.. then I don't know how to solve it
[20:01] <losher> Krudd: get over it already...
[20:01] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: that wont help if I cant connect to my box and the conenction gets droped straight awya
[20:01] <Krudd> losher,  it's important
[20:01] <losher> Krudd: not to me...
[20:01] <ViaNocturna> i tried every slider combination possible
[20:01] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: it will if you're trying to find out *why* the connection is failing
[20:01] <Krudd> losher,  no one addressed you
[20:02] <Primo_pinguino> why yesterday night I surfed the web and this evening no? i mean why ubuntu network connections are fucking up?
[20:02] <Pirate_Hunter> Krudd: no I havent I am guessing it will accept but wont help as I need the firewall
[20:02] <paschu> hey guys, i have a big problem with the flash player. When i watch a vid on youtube, there is sound but the video is just a picture
[20:02] <paschu> what to do?
[20:02] <jhattara> losher, i get this kind of error: http://pastebin.com/d38cb15d3
[20:02] <losher> Krudd: check the channel policy about being off-topic...
[20:02] <grayo> hey all
[20:02] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: ok will try to conenct to the box again from the comp being rejected
[20:02] <Krudd> Pirate_Hunter,  well, as long as port 22 (assuming you are using the standard port) is allowed it's not the firewall
[20:02] <Krudd> !ot| losher
[20:02] <Krudd> losher,  drop it now
[20:02] <seidos> Slart: what process should be running for apache?  httpd?
[20:03] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: pastebin the output you get with the -vvv switch
[20:03] <andares> Hey, is it possible to do full-disk encryption with Ubuntu?
[20:03] <webbb82> i just installed spicebird and i like it alot
[20:03] <pitput> !hi | losher
[20:03] <andares> Like a dm-crypt/LUKS setup?
[20:03] <ViaNocturna> nobody any ideas about sound coming out of both the headphones and speakers despite messing with the sliders?
[20:03] <losher> jhattara: bad option? Try mount -o ro /dev/blah /mnt/somewhere
[20:03] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: ok
[20:03] <Krudd> andares, I don't think so. I looked into it a while ago
[20:03] <seidos> Slart: I have my website up, and an /etc/apache2, but I didn't set up this server
[20:03] <Slart> seidos: I don't think there is a process running until someone connects to your webserver.. I might be wrong though
[20:03] <DShepherd> tonyyarusso: does wordpress allow you to blog from your mobile?
[20:04] <grayo> could anyone tell me why my flash drive with UNR img isn't working?  any ideas what the problem could be?
[20:04] <andares> ViaNocturna: I think it's a hardware thing actually.
[20:04] <Krudd> andares, you can do it in *BSD, but not the same way in linux
[20:04] <viroxi> ViaNocturna> i have that issue on my laptop, still can't figure why it does that. Although my desktop is fine.
[20:04] <boscop> is there any reader for ubuntu that can read pdf, djvu and chm?
[20:04] <ViaNocturna> no its not...i am dual booting and windows is fine
[20:04] <DopeGhoti> grayo: what *is* happening when you try to use it?
[20:04] <andares> ViaNocturna: wait, are the speakers and headphones on different sound cards?
[20:04] <ViaNocturna> nope same soundcard
[20:04] <andares> Krudd: you can do it on a variety of Linux flavors. I just thought ubuntu would let you too.
[20:05] <losher> boscop: no single reader. I use xpdf for pdf and kchmviewer for chm. Dunno what reads djvu...
[20:05] <Krudd> andares, not the same way as BSD ... as in the whole disk transparently, including swap
[20:05] <andares> ViaNocturna: so are there TWO audio out ports then on the same soundcard? Tres bizarre.
[20:05] <Flannel> andares: You can, you need the alternate CD, and it's an install option.
[20:05] <Slart> seidos: seems I was wrong.. nevermind me.. I have a couple of "apache2" processes running on my box
[20:05] <jhattara> losher, same error
[20:05] <andares> Krudd: dm-crypt lets you encrypt the swap..
[20:05] <ViaNocturna> no theres three ports...headphones, line in, line out
[20:05] <andares> Flannel: I wanted to do it on the Netbook version. :(
[20:05] <jhattara> losher, gparted sees the partition, should i just tell mount that it's ext3 ?
[20:05] <DopeGhoti> andares: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto
[20:05] <grayo> when i go through the steps of reseting my netbook with the flash drive inserted, i hit esc and it asks me what to boot from, i enter usb and it starts reading the kernels by .......... but it goes on and on for hours that way
[20:05] <Krudd> andares, please use english in this channel
[20:06] <losher> jhattara: at this point I think I'd just fsck it...
[20:06] <andares> :)
[20:06] <Flannel> andares: You should be able to, although you'd probably have to do it manually
[20:06] <andares> ViaNocturna: I'd mess around with the .asoundrc then.
[20:06] <seidos> Slart: I have 11 processes, /sbin/apache2 -k start
[20:06] <andares> Flannel: hm, okay. Ubuntu uses an initramfs, right?
[20:06] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/272312/
[20:07] <ViaNocturna> lol maybe i sound wet behind the ears but....asoundrc?! whats that lol
[20:07] <andares> So I guess I could alter the initramfs to decrypt the root partition..
[20:07] <hasilein> hallo benni bist du onlin
[20:07] <Jaymac> hey guys - possibly silly question..  I tried installing ubuntu on a dual boot with xp and got grub error 2, so am reinstalling.. In advanced options, which device should i use for boot loader installation? /dev/sda1 (windows) or /dev/sdb1 (ubuntu)
[20:07] <andares> ViaNocturna: it's a little-used alsa configuration file. You can create a duplex with a cloned audio channel.
[20:07] <Flannel> andares: did you see the link DopeGhoti gave you? It goes into detail
[20:07] <andares> (For the brave, like I said.)
[20:07] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: it looks like the SSH server has your DSA key blacklisted
[20:07] <sil3nt|warri0r> having prob with creating fat32 fs, the partition was formated with solaris fs before
[20:08] <sil3nt|warri0r> now i want it to format as vfat/fat32
[20:08] <sil3nt|warri0r> but its not working
[20:08] <sil3nt|warri0r> :(
[20:08] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: use gparted
[20:08] <andares> Flannel: DopeGhoti gave me a link?
[20:08] <erUSUL> !nowork | sil3nt|warri0r
[20:08] <Slart> seidos: yup.. I think the number of processes is configurable from the httpd.conf
[20:08] <DopeGhoti> andares: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto
[20:08] <sil3nt|warri0r> i use mkfs.vfat -vF 32 /dev/sda2
[20:08] <erUSUL> !doesntwork | sil3nt|warri0r
[20:08] <dragon> !graphics
[20:08] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: why and how do I fix it?
[20:08] <dragon> !video
[20:09] <fccf> sil3nt|warri0r: that drive will still have a magic number on it ... you have to use fdisk in windows to clear that
[20:09] <seidos> Slart: does this mean there are 11 connections to my webserver?
[20:09] <seidos> Slart: I will check out httpd.conf
[20:09]  * dragon is looking for some info on "flickering display"
[20:09] <Flannel> andares: Also, if you just use the alternate CD, you can install (fully encrypted from the installer) a command-line-only system, and then just add the GUI stuff for UNR overtop of it.  That might be the easiest method
[20:09] <mordof> anyone know how to remove the top panel document viewer thing (the tabs) at the top of gedit?
[20:09] <Slart> seidos: no.. I don't think it does
[20:09] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: on the server you're connecting to, take a look at /var/log/auth.log, SSH connection rejections are logged there with (usually) the reason for the rejection
[20:09] <dragon> seidos: you meant apache2.conf. There's no httpd.conf in Ubuntu.
[20:09] <blackxored> what to do when evolution keeps throw errors like: Can't store folder Inbox. Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync????? anyone :( ???
[20:09] <dragon> seidos: even if there is one, it'd be empty.
[20:10] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: one sec let me check
[20:10] <sil3nt|warri0r> fccf: i use windows installation cd to format that with ntfs too, but its fails with some read error
[20:10] <seidos> dragon: I have an httpd.conf and apache2.conf in /etc/apache2
[20:10] <andares> Flannel: thanks. I think I'll play around with the unencrypted version first though.
[20:10] <seidos> dragon: ah
[20:11] <Chudd> andares, whole volume encryption is far from smooth in ubuntu
[20:11] <grayo> dopeghoti: any ideas?  i'm thinking the img wasn't created on the flash drive correctly
[20:11] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: mkfs.vfat gives no error, but when i fdisk -l, i saw the partiton is still showing linux as fs
[20:11] <fccf> sil3nt|warri0r: use fdisk to delete the existing partitions on the disk... I've done this before, so I know it will work
[20:11] <DopeGhoti> grayo: it's possible.  Have you tried recreating the flash drive, or using another one?
[20:11] <dragon> seidos: Ubuntu is set up to use Apache's VirtualServers. Simply add your site info to /etc/apache2/sites-available/.... and run the script a2ensite
[20:11] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: im using the tail -f command to check errors and it just says ssh[5053]: refused connection [user] that is all nothing more, not a helpful log
[20:11] <DopeGhoti> grayo: have you booted from that flash drive on another system?
[20:11] <jwx> hey! my mbr grub is messed up.. i have a boot partition.. im on livecd.. how do  I restore grub? tried mount the boot partition and use grub-install --root-directory=mountpoint /dev/sda.. didn't work
[20:11] <boscop> losher, oh, on the okular home page they claim to support these :)
[20:12] <Flannel> !grub | jwx, first link gives you a few methods
[20:12] <grayo> dopeghoti: no i haven't
[20:12] <sil3nt|warri0r> this is my disk i am writing from using ubuntu
[20:12] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: that's the parition type you can change it with fdisk. does not afect the actual filesystem it it though
[20:12] <jhattara> losher, running check disk, i'll pop by if some errors i can't google about pop up
[20:12] <sil3nt|warri0r> @ fccf
[20:12] <dragon> Flannel: howdy!
[20:12] <losher> jhattara: good luck!
[20:12] <jwx> Flannel: thanks for links
[20:12] <Chudd> jhattara, gotta protect that rare pr0n, huh?
[20:12] <jhattara> losher, fsck.ext3: Input/output error while recovering ext3 journal of /dev/sdb1
[20:13] <Chudd> !guidelines | Flannel
[20:13] <sil3nt|warri0r> fccf: i try to delete that /dev/sda2 partiton, and recreate the partition with same start/end cylinder size, but its not working
[20:13] <Chudd> Flannel, I suggest you read them
[20:13] <fccf> @ sil3nt|warri0r: I just remember re-writing the MBR from within a DOS environment, to remove the magic numbers
[20:13] <dragon> my display flickers every minute - it goes blank for about 2 seconds. Ideas?
[20:13] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: any advise?
[20:13] <ubunolimpica> hola
[20:14] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: I'm thinking..
[20:14] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: so how one can actually format a partition as vfat/fat32 in linux in existing partition
[20:14] <n3mo> hey do you know how to change default video player in MC
[20:14] <MarderIII> dragon: overheating?
[20:14] <n3mo> I just want to add some options for subtitles encoding.
[20:14] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: just as you did.
[20:15] <mikejet> This entire sound system is very confusing.  My working panel volumn slider seems to be manipulating the CA0106-Analog-Front channel.   How do I get the volumn-up/down keyboard keys to manipulate that too?
[20:15] <n3mo> so changing default subtitles encoding for mplayer would do the trick, as well as changing the player.
[20:15] <dragon> MarderIII: It's a new laptop, and it's cold. The external display (HDMI) is flickering; the laptop screen doesn't.
[20:15] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: try ssh -oPreferredAutentications=keyboard-interactive -vvv user@host and pastebin that
[20:16] <losher> jhattara: that's bad. It implies the drive itself is damaged and may not be salvageable. Look at ddrescue http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html and maybe testdisk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TestDisk
[20:16] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: and as i said earlier you can change the partition type with fdisk
[20:16] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: but then its not showing the partiton as vfat
[20:17] <CHaek> Flannel, because there are a couple people on this ISP that I don't want to be able to join this channel anymore
[20:17] <MarderIII> dragon: checked connectors? got a similar problem a while back. connector got damaged by fall.
[20:17] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: do you get an error if you mount it as vfat ?
[20:17] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: can i change the type of a existing partiton ?
[20:17] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdxx /mount/point
[20:18] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: tyes for the third time fdisk can do it
[20:18] <andares> Lots of griefers on today.
[20:18] <dragon> MarderIII: I did; the connector seems fine too, and it's working well 98% of the time
[20:18] <snet> Flannel, c'mon, do the whole B class
[20:18] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: just checked /etc/hosts.deny somehow my boxes have been added to it no clue why i am guessing it has something to do with fail2ban which is not yet setup, hmmmm give me a sec if it happens again will check you way. I'll tell you in a bit after I remove the boxes from the file and restart ssh
[20:18] <DopeGhoti> andares: seems like the same one repeatedly
[20:18] <TLF> anyone used migration assistant during install?
[20:18] <ruiner> can someone help me out here
[20:18] <andares> DopeGhoti: seems plausible. He's connecting from the same IP range.
[20:18] <DopeGhoti> !ask | ruiner
[20:18] <zenzoo> Hi there!
[20:19] <jhattara> losher, somewhere on the net there was something about debugfs
[20:19] <treble54> is there anyway to make it so that when I open an application in workspace A, switch to workspace B, the application only opens in workspace A?
[20:19] <treble54> currently whenever I open an application, and change workspaces, it always opens in the workspace I'm currently in, not the workspace I opened the application in
[20:19] <MarderIII> dragon: is interval between blanks constant?
[20:19] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: is fail2ban similar to denyhosts?
[20:19] <islington> treble54: in compiz you can use the place plugin
[20:19] <dragon> MarderIII: no
[20:20] <treble54> islington: great thx, I'll try it out
[20:20] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: no error given
[20:20] <MeowKItten> im trying to use gmount to mount a cue file so my copmuter views it as a physical cdrom inserted itno the drive. how do i do this? where do i mount to?
[20:20] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: what error ?
[20:20] <GermanElite> MeowKItten,  you can't. Next!
[20:20] <ruiner> When i installed ubuntu before and now with kubuntu my screen is split in half  my screen size is 1200x800 on a nvidia 5500
[20:20] <dragon> MarderIII: the usual range is (1, 10) mins
[20:20] <andares> Flannel: he seems to be connecting from 119.11.5.* each time. Maybe you should ban the range?
[20:20] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: when mounting no error. so the filesystem works as spected. that fact that appears as a solaris parition is cosmetical ...
[20:21] <MarderIII> dragon: out of ideas.. :-( still seems to me as if something is "resetting"
[20:21] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: but when i try to install vista on that partiton, it says 'could not find a proper system volume'
[20:21] <losher> jhattara: debugfs is all very well in theory, but it requires a filesystem expert to use it. It's beyond most users, myself included...
[20:21] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: hmm
[20:21] <treble54> islington: when you say the place plugin, do you mean the Place Window plugin?
[20:21] <dragon> MarderIII: yes that's possible. dmesg log and syslog didn't have any info on this.
[20:21] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: dunno sorry. if it is for installing vista in it why are you formatting it as vfat ?
[20:21] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: it automatically bans ip that consistently try to log/ping/connect to the box but it shouldn't do it on first attempt, my box keeps getting added to hosts.deny, of course im assuming it has to do with fail2ban since it is the only app I installed that seems to be able to do that except my other box should have the same symptoms as well but hasnt, hmmm
[20:21] <treble54> islington: I don't see any plugin that's specifically called "Place"
[20:21] <dragon> and now it's flickering every 15 secs
[20:21] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: and also the vista dvd cant even format that as ntfs
[20:21] <erUSUL> sil3nt|warri0r: just leave the space as not paritioned and parition it dring install
[20:21] <andares> MeowKItten: mount -t iso9660 -o loop <image file here> <mount point here> from the cmdline.
[20:22] <sil3nt|warri0r> ^that partiton
[20:22] <andares> I think that works with cue.. Might not though, you might have to convert it to an iso first.
[20:22] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: if it works like denyhosts, it's probably still seeing the connect attempts in the log and re-adding the host to the deny lists
[20:22] <andares> Ah, .4.
[20:22] <MarderIII> dragon: suspect electronic component.. no idea which one of course. absense of log messages seems to point to hardware too.
[20:23] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: look into whitelisting the other box on your LAN, or possibly your LAN's subnet
[20:23] <MeowKItten> andares: and the coputer will view it as a physical CDROM disc? Im trying to install a game from a multi disc backup.
[20:23] <dragon> MarderIII: makes sense
[20:23]  * ^c|0ud^ is now auto-away after 10m idle
[20:23] <sil3nt|warri0r> erUSUL: sda1 formated as hfs, sda2 as vfat (showing linux), sda3 as linux (boot)
[20:23] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: how do i whitelist the other box?
[20:23] <andares> MeowKItten: is the game running under wine?
[20:23] <MeowKItten> andares: yes
[20:23] <sil3nt|warri0r> now i want to install vista in that sda2
[20:23] <dragon> !windows | sil3nt|warri0r
[20:24] <dragon> No, I meant vista.
[20:24] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: you'd have to look at the fail2ban docs for that, but I'd start with /etc/hosts.allow
[20:24] <andares> MeowKItten: you'll want to have a look at winecfg then.
[20:24] <MarderIII> dragon: can you connect another monitor? to see if its the monitor thats causing it?
[20:24] <andares> MeowKItten: the idea is that you use the mount command I gave you to mount it to a directory you make in /mnt, then run winecfg. Go under Drives, and add the directory you made as one of the drives.
[20:25] <dehqan> good day everyone ,Does pidgin have a repository to install or upgarde ,now pidgin 2.4 is installed on system ,how to have 2.6 ?
[20:25] <andares> That should work for you.
[20:25] <dragon> MarderIII: other monitor was doing something worse; this is the second one.
[20:25] <DopeGhoti> !pidgin | dehqan
[20:25] <MeowKItten> andares: thanks i got it
[20:25] <tsr> hello everibody
[20:25] <andares> MeowKItten: yw. :)
[20:25] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: 'fail2ban: bans IPs that cause multiple authentication errors' as can be seen it shouldn't block on first attempt I might have to check the actual keys afterwards or remove all keys and reproduce them again, will check the log it shouldnt be banning since its with default settings and will add to allow
[20:25] <tsr> i didn't use that since about 9 years ago :-)
[20:25] <aethelrick> howdy tsr
[20:25] <dipbl> hello
[20:25] <DopeGhoti> dehqan: see also http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/
[20:26] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: I've not used fail2ban personally, so I can't tell you the exact procedure to whitelist a known-good IP with that tool
[20:27] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: check /usr/share/doc/fail2ban for documentation if the man page is not sufficiently helpful
[20:27] <coolcourt> hell i my add/remove programs keep giving me an error, how do i clean out the cache or revert to clean stuff up
[20:27] <DopeGhoti> coolcourt: what is the error?
[20:27] <haf1z> guys, is there any program like sopcast in ubuntu?
[20:27] <MarderIII> dragon: it still could be the cable, but suspect your laptop has a defective (external) video interface. My condolences...
[20:28] <mikejet> Okay, it looks like notify-osd is what's running when I hammer on the vol-up/vol-down keys.
[20:28] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: yup will do that just dont get why this box im working from isnt blocking since it has fail2ban also, hmm will look into that
[20:28] <danny> hello...
[20:28] <haf1z> guys, is there any program like sopcast in ubuntu?

[20:28] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: you're quite welcome
[20:28] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: question: is your nick a Metroid reference? :)
[20:28] <dragon> MarderIII: different behavior with different monitors - i'm not sure what's the case. I'll call the tech support now :)
[20:29] <danny> any people indonesia?

[20:30] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: nope but I do like Metroid never been good at it still great game and I mean the old super nintendo version
[20:31] <dragon> where's the list of existing filters in evolution?
[20:31] <Pirate_Hunter> DopeGhoti: yup it now works will have to keep an eye on hosts.deny from now on at least I know if anyone else tries to connect its an autoban on first attempt wehter its correct or not
[20:32] <DopeGhoti> Pirate_Hunter: glad to've helped :)
[20:34] <amortvigil> hello is here someone with the macbook 5.1 ubuntu image
[20:34] <amortvigil> ?
[20:35] <blackxored> what to do when evolution keeps throw errors like: Can't store folder Inbox. Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync

[20:37] <lyons> Hi. I accidently tried to install another window manager now i don't know how to get gnome back. how do i do it?
[20:37] <addisonj> lynos, log out, choose your session
[20:37] <lyons> like, what is gdm?
[20:38] <addisonj> gdm = Gnome desktop manager
[20:38] <amortvigil> lyons: logout then you get in some sort of login menu arent you?
[20:38] <lyons> amortvigil,  i think i uninstalled gdm
[20:38] <losher> !gdm
[20:38] <amortvigil> then you see the button session somewhere, hit it an choose gnome
[20:38] <lyons> ah ok
[20:38] <superbeef> Hey I'm running kernel 2.6.24-24-server #1 SMP 64bit on a dualcore AMD, and no matter what I do, Top shows the second CPU as idle
[20:38] <amortvigil> lyons: what wm did you install?
[20:39] <lyons> Oh yeah, and how about that dude that had that rare pr0n?
[20:39] <Wicked> how could ubuntu mess up and build ipv6 into the kernel with no options to disable with....without recompiling your own kernel? that seems like a BIG screw up.
[20:39] <lyons> what happened to him?
[20:39] <mneptok> addisonj: GDM = GNOME Display Manager ;)
[20:39] <addisonj> heh, i was thinking that was wrong
[20:39] <blackxored> anyone in this channel could help me with that evolution issue, ????
[20:39] <antisocial_boris> Does anyone have a twiki running on ubuntu? I am having problems installing plugins.
[20:39] <Wicked> and with all the kernel update...how the hell has it not been fixed?
[20:39] <lyons> mneptok,  I hope you get rid of that troll
[20:39] <losher> lyons: you could try reinstalling gnome I suppose: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[20:40] <amortvigil> hello is here someone with the macbook 5.1 ubuntu image ??
[20:40] <gsp2009> hey all... I am having a hard time setting up a network with shares between two boxes running 9.04. All the googling I have done centres around Windoze and Samba. Surely there should be a way to set up a network without Samba so that I can easily have a shared resource over my network. Anyone have a link?
[20:41] <addisonj> gsp2009, what is wrong with samba?
[20:41] <coolcourt> also, my acer notebook has a video error at startup in black and white, where could i find a startup log file?
[20:41] <earthling> blackxored : looks like some disk space usage or the folder where evloution is trying to create its inbox does not has the proper rights
[20:41] <idyle> Hi, I am running jaunty and earlier I did do-release-upgrade -d, and it was about to install, but I realized I didn't have time and aborted -- now when I try it, it says everything is up to date
[20:41] <MarderIII> gsp2009: search for nfs (network file system) maybe?
[20:41] <gsp2009> addisonj, if I have two ubuntu machines, do I need it?
[20:41] <grayo> dopeghoti: wrote a fresh img and it started up no problem, IT'S ALIVE!
[20:42] <blackxored> adrian@desktop:~ df -Th | grep /home
[20:42] <blackxored>               ext3     99G   88G  5.6G  95% /home
[20:42] <lorenzosu> On ubuntu 9.04 if I restart gnome with ctrl+alt+backspace I get an continuous authentication failed error
[20:42] <gsp2009> MarderIII, I tried nfs, but you can't browse the shares in nautilus.
[20:42] <blackxored> earthling, ^^^
[20:42] <blackxored> earthling, sorry about not using paste is just two lines
[20:42] <aethelrick> gsp2009: you could try NFS if you don't like samba... but samba is pretty convenient
[20:43] <komputes> How can one turn off advance compoziting from the command line
[20:43] <jhattara> losher, using debugfs and most of the files seem to come out ok
[20:43] <gsp2009> aethelrick, addisonj so if I do use samba, do I have to set each machine up with a workgroup name?
[20:43] <earthling> blackxored, sorry dude.. just pointed out where things could be wrong.. just was a suggestion of the places u could start lloking at.. personally have't ever user evolution
[20:43] <blackxored> earthling, ping
[20:43] <aethelrick> gsp2009: if you have NFS setup, then the remote file systems are mounted locally...
[20:44] <losher> jhattara: very cool. Can you copy the important ones somewhere safe?
[20:44] <blackxored> earthling, well I don't want to clean the profile, because I have a lot of lists archived there, so any clues??//
[20:44] <aethelrick> gsp2009: in other words, NFS "shares" are seen as part of the local file system, nautlus doesn't know the difference, nor does it need to
[20:44] <gsp2009> aethelrick, so I have to mount each resource? anyway of bookmarking them?
[20:44] <MarderIII> gps2009: another suggestion sshfs ? needs fuse filesystem though
[20:45] <jhattara> losher, i have a "new" computer with a "new" harddrive that i copy them initially, i'm going to take backups to my external hdd immediately i'm done with debugfs
[20:45] <blackxored> there's no other places I could check about why this error is happening???
[20:45] <losher> jhattara: good plan.
[20:45] <MarderIII> gps2009: then you can mount "shares" trough ssh
[20:45] <aethelrick> gsp2009: I recommend reading the samba documents to gain a basic understanding of the concepts. If you're looking for a quick and dirty copy from one machine to the next, samba is a good solution.

[20:46] <codeshah> hey guys, I accidentally erased www-data from /etc/group - how do I readd it?
[20:46] <aethelrick> gsp2009: NFS is intended for far more permanent connections between machines, it's not really designed for making and breaking arbitrary connections
[20:46] <blackxored> earthling, thanks, checking it out
[20:47] <blackxored> earthling, ubuntuforums.org still rocks
[20:48] <mikejet> Okay, I figured how my audio config is in "gnome-control-center". How come that isn't in the System->Administration menu?
[20:48] <earthling_> blackxored, yeahh .. so does google...
[20:48] <gsp2009> aethelrick, thanks. I have used samba before. With great success. I just figured that because I have no windows machines, there would be a cleaner and easier way to set up shares between machines on the same network. Maybe I am wrong, but you would think that ubuntu would handle this easily without having samba running. If that is the quickest and most intuitive way of doing it then I guess I have not choice. I just want this to be easy for my wife to d
[20:48] <gsp2009> rag and drop files back and forth to me.
[20:48] <^Einstein> In the past week I've had two instances of some daemon crashing (I suspect) after which my ssh key passphrases and such are not automatically found for me. /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login is still running. Logging in again does not solve the problem; I am forced to reboot, after which it works fine. The problem has recurred. Any suggestions?
[20:49] <blackxored> earthling, good point
[20:49] <AD5300> Hi, I need SERIOUS help with my Ubuntu box. I'm unable to start it up. And before you ask, no, I'm not an inexperienced user. I've been using computers for over 11 years.
[20:49] <aethelrick> gsp2009: if you have a small file to copy as a once off, then use sftp://machinename inside of nautilus
[20:49] <dragon> AD5300: could you be more specific about the problem?
[20:49] <blackxored> earthling, I wasn't aware this wasn't a new problem, I was even thinking about filing a bug against evolution
[20:50] <gsp2009> AD5300, what's the prob?
[20:50] <aethelrick> gsp2009: that requires no special setup (other than basic user accounts on both machines) I wouldn't recommend it for copying many GB of data though... it's a bit slow because of encryption, but perfect for a quick copy of small to medium sized data
[20:51] <AD5300> Yes. At first, GRUB shows up displaying the boot options, upon booting Ubuntu, usplash starts up and I see the loading bar.Then it drops into a terminal, but there is no output as the quiet option is enabled by default.
[20:51] <Myrtti> AD5300: are you on jaunty?
[20:51] <AD5300> I am able to type on this terminal, but it appears to be loading somthing.
[20:51] <dragon> AD5300: are you able to log in through the terminal?
[20:51] <AD5300> I can NOT log in through the terminal or recovery mode.
[20:51] <dragon> AD5300: could you try Ctrl+D?
[20:51] <AD5300> Recovery mode freezes on boot
[20:52] <AD5300> Tried CTRL-D -- didn't work
[20:52] <dragon> AD5300: added a hardware recently?
[20:52] <Myrtti> AD5300: are you on karmic, jaunty, intrepid, hardy?
[20:52] <AD5300> No
[20:52] <AD5300> Karmic
[20:52] <Myrtti> !karmic | AD5300
[20:52] <AD5300> I have 7 different kernels installed. All do NOT work
[20:52] <paschu> Hey guys
[20:53] <lorenzosu> On ubuntu 9.04 whenever I try to login I get a continuous "Authentication failed message"
[20:53] <gsp2009> aethelrick, thanks. will look into that
[20:53] <dragon> AD5300: then kernel isn't the issue
[20:53] <paschu> What about the shockwave player for linux???
[20:53] <dragon> Myrtti: wow.
[20:53] <Myrtti> AD5300: please ask in #ubuntu+1. Karmic is broken atm.
[20:53] <AD5300> I came to that conclusion too.
[20:53] <lstarnes> paschu: what about it?
[20:53] <paschu> i need it
[20:53] <paschu> but i cant find it
[20:53] <Myrtti> paschu: shockwave or flash?
[20:53] <paschu> shockwave
[20:53] <AD5300> I think it might be something in my init.d script, but unfortunately I can't log in to check
[20:53] <Myrtti> AD5300: have you asked in #ubuntu+1 yet?
[20:54] <AD5300> I have a LAMP server configured on my machine if that is relevent
[20:54] <saji> @paschu the only way to play shockwave is install the shocwave via Wine..
[20:54] <Myrtti> AD5300: no, it's not
[20:54] <dani> hi
[20:54] <aethelrick> gsp2009: that's what I do if I need to copy files to machines at work (I use ubuntu all day) it's the simplest. If coupled with key based authenticated SSH from machine to machine. Very secure and very convenient.
[20:54] <AD5300> What's the ubuntu+1 channel for
[20:54] <Myrtti> AD5300: the fact you're running karmic is.
[20:54] <lstarnes> AD5300: karmic
[20:54] <Myrtti> AD5300: for karmic
[20:54] <paschu> saji: and then it will work?
[20:54] <lstarnes> AD5300: it is not fully released, so it has a seprate channel
[20:54] <Lenin_Cat> how do I tell if my computer has bluetouth?
[20:55] <AD5300> ah... well do you guys have any idea on how I can log in?
[20:55] <pik}> can anyone please help me with my wlan card atheros ar5008?
[20:55] <saji> @paschu i haven't checked that, but when i searched for this some time ago... This was the only solution...
[20:55] <Daimonic> Hey, I have a strange occurrence lately, when I restart or shut down my pc, it doesn't do  it right away, it thhrows me into a commando line, where I can enter some stuff
[20:55] <AD5300> I'm gonna go to ubuntu+1 now
[20:55] <Guest8262> how can I create and share a folder (with write permission including guest login) using shell (terminal) ???
[20:55] <gsp2009> aethelrick, well... the issue is that my wife is not overly technical, and we are sharing large photos and video. So I may be stuck with Samba.
[20:55] <saji> @pascu it says that it'll work..
[20:55] <dragon> Lenin_Cat: try `bluetooth-applet`
[20:55] <paschu> but i just wnt to watch videos on youtube
[20:55] <Daimonic> and when i press Ctrl+Alt+Enf: it says: md: stopping als md devies and reboots
[20:55] <Myrtti> paschu: so you do NOT need shockwave
[20:55] <Myrtti> paschu: you need flash
[20:55] <paschu> i have the adobe flash player and there is just a picture when i click on play
[20:55] <Myrtti> !flash | paschu
[20:55] <saji> @paschu for that only flash is needed...
[20:56] <paschu> i already have it
[20:56] <paschu> i have the flash player
[20:56] <paschu> but i dont work so well
[20:56] <Myrtti> paschu: and how did you install it?
[20:56] <paschu> sudo
[20:56] <saji> @paschu which is theplayer?
[20:56] <paschu> adobe flashplayer
[20:56] <Myrtti> paschu: no, how did you install it?
[20:56] <paschu> in my terminal O.o
[20:56] <dragon> !enter | paschu
[20:56] <lstarnes> paschu: using which full command?
[20:57] <paschu> uhm, let me see
[20:57] <Lenin_Cat> drit dose nothing in terminal
[20:57] <paschu> sudo apt-get install-flash-installer or something
[20:57] <streblo> how does one change the permissions for a group?
[20:57] <dragon> Lenin_Cat: does it place a bluetooth icon in the tray?
[20:57] <aethelrick> gsp2009: it's really easy to use SFTP... just make an acount on your machine for her (regular shell account) then go to her machine, put sftp://yourmachine into her finder, connect, save a bookmark and show her where to click it (in places)
[20:57] <Lenin_Cat> no
[20:57] <thomg> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:58] <dragon> Lenin_Cat: then you probably don't have it. Best way is to run `dmesg | grep -i bluetooth`
[20:58] <gsp2009> aethelrick, and if there is half a gig or so, that may be a prob?
[20:58] <thomg> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:58] <thomg> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[20:58] <aethelrick> gsp2009: it won't be as fast as samba, but there is no upper limit on size of data you can copy
[20:58] <Lenin_Cat> Dragon according to that I DO
[20:59] <gsp2009> aethelrick, ok, thanks.
[20:59] <earthling__> streblo, #chmod xyz change the value in the y field to change the group permissions.. chgrp to change the file group
[20:59] <saji> @paschu the package name is flashplugin-installer..
[20:59] <aliasp> hello  go to open office compare  spreedsheet to gnumeric book.1
[20:59] <rigel> is there another program that i can use to transfer files quickly over a point to point cabled lan without all the overhead of ssh?
[20:59] <Loder3333> I have two windows partitions already, and I want to install ubuntu and fedora. I need help determining how large each partition should be (/home, /, /boot), as well as which of them should be primary and which should be logical. I've tried reading a few google search results, but I can't seem to get the just of what I need to have set up. Can anyone help me?
[20:59] <rigel> i dont want to much about configuring an ftp server
[21:00] <streblo> earthling__, is there a way to say 'make this groups permissions the same as another groups'
[21:00] <rigel> i just want to push a bunch of data
[21:00] <saji> @paschu, is that the package that you installed?
[21:00] <paschu> oh man im so tired, ill fix it tomorrow
[21:00] <paschu> i think so, yes
[21:00] <lstarnes> rigel: what about scp or rsync?
[21:00] <aliasp> forget windows partition
[21:00] <pik}> can anyone please help me with my wlan card atheros ar5008? the card seems to be working but i cant find any networks.
[21:00] <saji> @paschu, the same player works fine for me.... :)
[21:00] <rigel> scp is encryption overhead, no?
[21:00] <sparr> Why does tesseract-ocr depend on tesseract-ocr-deu instead of tesseract-ocr-eng?  I know, very american-centric of me, but that seems to be the norm for ubuntu and debian packages.
[21:00] <jimmy51_> hello all.  i'm setting up my first ubuntu server for home use.  i want it to be a file server, possibly print server, and have some sort of directory services.  I've been given links in here for OpenLDAP configuration and SBackup.
[21:00] <Lenin_Cat> dragon, according to that I have it
[21:00] <lstarnes> rigel: the overhead isn't very big
[21:00] <paschu> g2g
[21:01] <paschu> bye
[21:01] <jimmy51_> if this is for a home server serving 4 PC's, do i need to bother with DHCP/DNS on the server, or is my linksys home router sufficient?
[21:01] <earthling__> streblo, ohh.. for that add that the user to the other group alo. no need to copy permission
[21:01] <mr_boo> is it possible to move an ext3 partition?
[21:01] <aliasp> install ubuntu box full buy another machine for windows or lleave it all behind
[21:01] <ldleworker_> Omg - I hit the powerstrip to my PC and now Ubuntu wont boot has has graphical errors!
[21:02] <aethelrick> jimmy51_: unless you have a specific need for an LDAP service, I wouldn't bother with it for so few PC's
[21:02] <earthling__> streblo, as in if u want to copy permission of group1 to group2 just add the user to group2 also
[21:02] <trakcyia> If a file is being manipulated by two programs, and the operation must be performed with regard to the file and not the programs accessing it
[21:02] <trakcyia> How do I make it so the programs no longer share the file? (Without making a copy and symlink)
[21:02] <jimmy51_> aethelrick: i just want seamless filesharing among machines
[21:02] <mr_boo> can i move an ext3 partition?
[21:02] <ldleworker_> I boot, it does the initial loading progress bar then I get massive graphical puke, with partial remenants of what the screen looked like when the computer was shutoff
[21:02] <ldleworker_> Some one please help!
[21:02] <Promille> Hey. What is the easiest way to find the url for a flash (.flv) video stream ?
[21:02] <trakcyia> mr_boo an ext3 partition can be moved, I'm not confident you can do it
[21:02] <jimmy51_> aethelrick: with security on the shares
[21:03] <trakcyia> sorry, yeah you can do it fire up gparted
[21:03] <boscop> I can't set volume with Fn+UP or Fn+Down while using a fullscreen app like a game. why?
[21:03] <Loder3333> aliasp, why in the world would I do that?
[21:03]  * ldleworker_ is freaking out
[21:03] <aethelrick> jimmy51_:  you just need SAMBA no LDAP required
[21:03] <mr_boo> trakcyia: will the data follow along?
[21:03] <saji> Hello... I tried building the GCC package, got the following error-"Building GCC requires GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.0+." any idea how to correct it?
[21:03] <lstarnes> ldleworker_: just calm down.  It's most likely something that can be fixed
[21:03] <jimmy51_> aethelrick: with SAMBA, can I restrict access to various shares at the user level, without a directory services setup?
[21:03] <lstarnes> ldleworker_: can you boot into the recovery mode?
[21:03] <aethelrick> jimmy51_:  yes
[21:04] <ldleworker_> lstarnes: I can - I attempted to do the graphical errors fix
[21:04] <elops> What is the shell-code for installing Vi tools in ubuntu?
[21:04] <trakcyia> mr_boo if you move an ext3 partition with gparted (WITHOUT FORMATTING IT) the data will be moved with it yes
[21:04] <elops> What is the shell-code for installing Vi tools in ubuntu?
[21:04] <elops> sudo apt-get install vim
[21:04] <elops> ?
[21:04] <FloodBot2> elops: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:04] <ldleworker_> elops: is that nesscary?
[21:04] <lstarnes> elops: have you attempted that?
[21:04] <rigel> isnt there anything simpler than rsync for pushing a stream of data from one linux box to another
[21:04] <jimmy51_> aethelrick: how does that work?  i've got this link:   https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/network-authentication.html
[21:04] <earthling> ldleworker_ try installing in the safe graphics mode.. F4 to get that option
[21:04] <rigel> i know there was another way i transferred files before, but i only did it once
[21:04] <mr_boo> trakcyia: i will need the live cd i believe since its my system partition i want to move
[21:04] <saji> please.....
[21:04] <antisocial_boris> anyone run a twiki on ubuntu?
[21:04] <lstarnes> saji: install libgmp and libmpfr and their -dev files
[21:04] <rigel> so i dont remember the command
[21:04] <ldleworker_> earthling: "installing"
[21:05] <lstarnes> rigel: was it samba or rsync?
[21:05] <bro> ldleworker_, try reconfiguring xserver
[21:05] <rigel> it was linux to linux
[21:05] <rigel> so not samba
[21:05] <rickeo> looking for a little help with WiFi on my Aspire One, it worked after install but after I ran the software update it no longer works
[21:05] <saji> @lstarnes... Thanks...I'll try that..
[21:05] <rickeo> how do I get it back?
[21:05] <ubunolimpica> hola alguien habla español
[21:05] <rickeo> the wlan adapter is no longer showing up under ifconfig
[21:05] <rigel> it used an odd port. i started a process on one box, then started it on the source machine. it was the same command on both machines
[21:05] <lstarnes> saji: the package names will be similar but possibly may have version numbers attached
[21:05] <dragon> !es | ubunolimpica
[21:05] <lstarnes> saji: like libgmp3
[21:05] <jedi06> gimp 2.6.7 is out how come i only see 2.6.6
[21:06] <lstarnes> jedi06: where do you see 2.6.6?
[21:06] <Loder3333> So, can anyone help me set up the required partitions for ubuntu and fedora?
[21:06] <jedi06> synaptic
[21:06] <saji> @lstarnes....of=k thanks...
[21:06] <ldleworker_> lstarnes earthling  bro : I am at the recovery menu - what should I do?
[21:06] <earthling> ldleworker_ just when it starts booting press ctrl+F1 to go to the single user mode.. become super user and do a dpkg reconfigure
[21:06] <saji> sorry thanks.... :-)
[21:06] <jedi06> lstarnes, synaptic
[21:06] <ldleworker_> I see
[21:06] <lstarnes> jedi06: that's because ubuntu doesn't update packages like that
[21:06] <rickeo> nobody?

[21:06] <jedi06> lstarnes well i have 2.6.6 why isn't updating to 2.6.7
[21:06] <lstarnes> jedi06: packages are only updated for bug fixes and security patches
[21:06] <codeshah> hey guys, it seems I have a virus of some type? someone is using sendmail??sendmail: MTA: ./n8GK6LIQ005684 relay-avs.poste.it.: client MAIL
[21:06] <codeshah> ...
[21:06] <mr_boo> trakcyia: thanks
[21:07] <bro> ldleworker_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and follow instructions
[21:07] <jedi06> 2.6.7 has bug fixes
[21:07] <codeshah> when I do killall sendmail, it doesnt kill it
[21:07] <codeshah> hmm
[21:07] <saji> @jedi06 maybe you can do it manually via the PPA...
[21:07] <codeshah> I have a bunch of sendmails!
[21:07] <aliasp> you have to be root to do that
[21:07] <jedi06> GIMP 2.6.7 comes with lots of bug-fixes and it contains an important fix for using GIMP with the latest GEGL and babl releases.
[21:07] <lstarnes> jedi06: ubuntu doesn't follow upstream developments as often
[21:07] <earthling> ldleworker_ dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:07] <rickeo> why does WiFi no longer work after running software update?
[21:08] <djbpython> would a 60+hr/wk job drive me nuts?
[21:08] <lstarnes> jedi06: whichever GIMP was out when your version of ubuntu came out will be the one in the repos for that version
[21:08] <aspoor> hello all
[21:08] <ldleworker_> ctrl-f1 during boot doesn't do anything
[21:08] <lstarnes> jedi06: ubuntu 9.10 or a later release might have the newer gimp
[21:08] <jedi06> i have 9.10
[21:08] <wkerzend> I am trying to configure my md raid, so that if I add a drive to the system that it still assembles the raid on start
[21:08] <lstarnes> jedi06: then the channel for karmic is #ubuntu+1, not this one
[21:08] <rickeo> no one knows why wifi would stop working after running software update?
[21:08] <lstarnes> ldleworker_: ctrl+alt+f1?
[21:09] <lstarnes> rickeo: it depends on what was updated
[21:09] <xTheGoat121x> Greetings everyone, is there a lighter flash plugin than flash-nonfree? I'd like to be able to have somewhat smooth video on my older netbook...
[21:09] <jedi06> or maybe 9.02
[21:09] <upd> hi, what is this http://pastebin.com/m7f0241b2 why .exe ?
[21:09] <lstarnes> jedi06: 9.04?
[21:09] <jedi06> 04
[21:09] <BlackFate> rickeo, propably a network-manager update
[21:09] <rickeo> well thats not exactly helpful, lol, its an aspire one netbook with an atheros adapter
[21:09] <rickeo> it worked before running software update
[21:09] <lstarnes> upd: they're windows fonts
[21:09] <rickeo> and now the wlan device no longer shows up under ifconfig
[21:10] <upd> okey i see now
[21:10] <jedi06> how do i find out i keep forgetting that
[21:10] <saji> @jedi06 refer this link to install gimp new version http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-install-gimp-27-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html
[21:10] <lstarnes> jedi06: lsb_release -a
[21:10] <thiebaude> upd, did you want windows fonts?
[21:10] <BlackFate> rickeo, maybe a new kernel revision? try recompiling atheros drivers
[21:10] <rickeo> lol.... yea i dont even know what that means
[21:10] <jedi06> 9.04
[21:11] <jedi06> what does lsb stand for
[21:11] <BlackFate> rickeo, did you try to reboot system?
[21:11] <bro> ldleworker_, you have to be at desktop tu use ctrl+alt+f1 and drop to shell, otherwise boot in recovery mode at grub loader dirrectly in shell and use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[21:11] <Loder3333> I have two windows partitions already, and I want to install ubuntu and fedora. I need help determining how large each partition should be (/home, /, /boot), as well as which of them should be primary and which should be logical. I've tried reading a few google search results, but I can't seem to get the just of what I need to have set up. Can anyone help me?
[21:11] <rickeo> BlackFate: many times
[21:11] <BlackFate> rickeo, ifconfig -a ?
[21:11] <rickeo> i have an ethernet cable plugged in right now so I can connect
[21:11] <thiebaude> !dual-boot | Loder333
[21:12] <saji> @jedi06 lsb stands for linux standard base.
[21:12] <ubuntujenkins> how do I make an iso of my vista partion so I can use it in virtual box
[21:12] <rickeo> BlackFate: it shows up there but when I do an "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" it says resource temporarily unavailable
[21:13] <earthling> bro would just renaming his xorg.conf and rebooting work ?
[21:13] <jedi06> well i tried aptitude install gimp still have 2.6.6
[21:13] <webonaut> hi
[21:13] <ldleworker_> lstarnes bro Do I want to use Kernel Framebuffer device interface?
[21:13] <webonaut> I'm looking for a touchscreen netbook with linux support?
[21:13] <Loder3333> thiebaude: it's more complicated than that
[21:13] <bro> earthling, don't know if that would generate another xorg.conf. i always use reconfigure :)
[21:13] <thiebaude> Loder333, ok
[21:14] <Loder3333> Thanks, though
[21:14] <saji> @jedi06... can you not hear me?
[21:14] <thiebaude> Loder333, no problem
[21:14] <bro> ldleworker_, just answer yes to everything
[21:14] <bro> ldleworker_, if you don't know which is what
[21:14] <saji> jedi06, i had given you the solution to your problem..
[21:15] <rickeo> BlackFate: any ideas?
[21:15] <BlackFate> rickeo, cant think of anything soz... wait for next upgrae
[21:15] <xiong> files copied from my old mac (running os9, eg 'classic') -- filemaker pro files show up as truetype fonts -- granted that i can't open these at the moment with any known linux app, still i'd like nautilus to report them as what they are -- solution?
[21:15] <jedi06> yes i say that was 2.7 not 2.6.7
[21:15] <ldleworker_> bro I still get the same graphical errors.
[21:15] <rickeo> hmm, I'll make a thread on the forum, thanks!
[21:15] <BlackFate> no
[21:15] <BlackFate> np
[21:16] <bro> ldleworker_: what graphic drivers are you using?
[21:16] <ldleworker_> bro : I did that, then rebooted. When the system starts, I see the loading progress bar just fine but then when it hits the desktop stuff starts going crazy and I see parts of what my screen was when I hit the power on accident.
[21:17] <webonaut> did someone of you ever use a touchscreen with ubuntu on e netbook?
[21:17] <ldleworker_> bro : I'm not sure, but I think flgrx or whatever that is called
[21:17] <thiebaude> webonaut, you mean the built in mouse?
[21:17] <bro> ldleworker_ don't tell me you're running ATI under 9.04?
[21:18] <BlackFate> ubuntujenkins, http://imrannazar.com/Running-a-Windows-Partition-in-VMware
[21:18] <webonaut> thiebaude: no with a screen where you can draw with a pen on it or touch it with the finger
[21:18] <ldleworker_> bro: probably, but everything was working fine until I hit the power switch! =(
[21:18] <BlackFate> ubuntujenkins, it can be only done with vmware
[21:18] <thiebaude> webonaut, my bad, you said touch screen i got it
[21:18] <thiebaude> like hp
[21:19]  * thiebaude be back later
[21:19] <webonaut> thiebaude: yes, like the netbook you can turn the screen :-)
[21:19] <thiebaude> webonaut, never seen one for ubuntu
[21:19]  * ldleworker_ is definately scared the system is foobar
[21:20] <earthling_> bro : btw i am using ati on my sys no issues yet ...
[21:20] <saji> Hi... I tried running the pppoeconf commend.... It ruined my well working wifi....
[21:20] <bro> earthling, me too, now, but i had my problems with ati... same as many others
[21:20] <ubuntujenkins> blackfate: thanks I will look into it, why not virtualbox though? obviously the settings re different to the vmware ones
[21:20] <ldleworker_> bro can you think of what might have broken by turning the power switch off?
[21:20] <sierinjs> i'm trying to install conky from a tarball, and when i did ./configure it said 'checking wheather environment is sane', and that error: newly created file is older that distributed filesm check your sys clock... so i made PC
[21:21] <saji> Now network manager reports device not managed....
[21:21] <bro> ldleworker_, what graphics card are you using?
[21:21] <saji> for wireless....
[21:21] <sierinjs> 's time right, but still no good
[21:21] <Ninja67> salut tout le monde
[21:21] <wkerzend> how do I auto assemble an mdadm array on boot?
[21:21] <ldleworker_> bro : this is a department supplied PC - I'm not entirely sure
[21:21] <dragon> !fr | Ninja67
[21:21] <ldleworker_> bro : do you want me to go to recovery shell?
[21:21] <blackxored> earthling, I solved it, although the post were only a starting guide, the methods described there didn't worked for me, but thanks
[21:21] <BlackFate> ubuntujenkins, just follow the guide for vmware, and then you can convert the vmware image to vbox image
[21:21] <saji> Now wireless doesn't work.. How'll i correct it?
[21:21] <saji> anyone..please...
[21:21] <Ninja67> m33 mtl cherche femme qui aime ubuntu et qui veullent parler

[21:22] <guntbert> sierinjs: conky is in the repos...
[21:22] <ubuntujenkins> BlackFate: thanks will do this should keep me busy
[21:22] <sierinjs> guntbert: solved + no intarnetz is working
[21:22] <earthling_> blackxored, u r welcome...
[21:22] <sierinjs> guntbert: old lappy
[21:22] <bro> ldleworker_ yes, you'll fix xserver from there
[21:22] <jedi06> why is it so hard for them to update gimp in the repositories to the lasest stable release
[21:22] <BlackFate> ubuntujenkins, good luck
[21:23] <sierinjs> guntbert: now it say's he can't locate my X11 instalation :/
[21:23] <ikonia> jedi06: because it has dependencies on things like gtk which has a massive impact on gnome
[21:23] <saji> jedi06, did u not see my solution?
[21:23] <sayureez> i have an asus 1005ha. it was working perfectly when i installed 9.04 but now it wont work at all on battery power. i have to have the mains adaptor attached all the time. the battery monitor says 100%charge. any ideas what could be wrong or where i should start. i have already checked the forums and online
[21:23] <sierinjs> and say's i have no X ;-D
[21:23] <jedi06> i'm just wondering
[21:23] <guntbert> !latest | jedi06
[21:23] <ikonia> jedi06: there you go, that's a good reason
[21:23] <saji> @ubottu tell him to install via the ppa...
[21:24] <saji> Hello... Anybody... please help.. my wifi not working..
[21:24] <ikonia> !wirless > saji
[21:24] <ubuntujenkins> BlackFate: thansk
[21:24] <ikonia> !wireless > saji
[21:24] <ldleworker_> bro : I'm at root
[21:24] <sierinjs> ./configure can't locate X11 instalation :/
[21:25] <guntbert> saji: jedi06 said that was the wrong version too (you said 2.7, he wants 2.6.7 :-)
[21:25] <ikonia> sierinjs: you need development libraries
[21:25] <gsp2009> saji, what you need?
[21:25] <bro> ldleworker_, ok, wait a sec
[21:25] <sierinjs> ikonia: can i get them without network?
[21:26] <bro> ldleworker_, "lspci | grep VGA", gimme the output
[21:26] <saji> @gsp2009, my wifi got off when i tried running pppoeconf...
[21:26] <coolcourt> my webcam doesnt register on my acer aspire one, is there any way to fix this
[21:26] <ikonia> sierinjs: not very easy, you'd have to get them off the ubuntu cd or manually download them on another
[21:26] <gsp2009> saji what chipset?
[21:26] <sierinjs> ikonia: :> mkay, thanks
[21:27] <saji> gsp2009, Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
[21:27] <ldleworker_> bro : ATI Tech RV370 5B64 FireGL V3100 PCIE rev 80
[21:27] <bro> ldleworker_, ok, wait a minute to search about your card
[21:27] <kansan> i cannot shut down mysql server on ubuntu hardy server with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop ... any suggestions on how to make this work?  i also looked log files in /var/log/mysql and didnt see anything.
[21:28] <wildc4rd_> evening all
[21:28] <matt2154> Hi
[21:28] <saji> @gsp2009 my wifi card is-Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
[21:28] <earthling_> ldleworker_, had u just installed compiz before making the "mistake"
[21:28] <bro> ldleworker_, is that an X300 radeon?
[21:28] <ldleworker_> earthling_: no I use xmonad
[21:29] <ikonia> kansan: what happens when you try to shut it down
[21:29] <BlackFate> kansan, what error do you get?
[21:29] <matt2154> I'm mighty confused.  I just changed /home/ to be an NFS mount, now I can't seem to log in.  Is there an gnome error log somewhere?
[21:29] <ldleworker_> bro : I'm not sure entirely
[21:29] <saji> @ubottu how do you send private messages?
[21:29] <ikonia> matt2154: you can't log in because your home directory is not there so gnome has no-where to write to
[21:29] <ldleworker_> I think its the "RV370"
[21:29] <mdg> Hi, how to make significant whitespace in php?
[21:29] <ikonia> saji: ubottu is a bot

[21:29] <Max_-> Changed keyboard layout to dvorak and back to qwerty, using Gnome.... Gnome is okay, but everything else (out of gnome; i.e. F? consoles and login page) is still in dvorak.. how can I get what's left in dvorak back in qwerty??
[21:29] <Aijse> ha lol
[21:29] <ikonia> mdg: ask in ##php
[21:29] <sayureez> i am also having another problem with my tataindicom plug to surf usb modem. if i attach the usb modem after ubuntu has started up it works fine. if i leave it attached and boot up it doesnt work. any ideas how i can fix this?
[21:30] <ikonia> kansan: and what makes you think it's still running
[21:30] <saji> ikonia, bot means?
[21:30]  * mdg np: Lord Finesse - Actual Facts
[21:30] <ikonia> saji: automated person
[21:30] <Aijse> ow joy
[21:30] <ikonia> mdg: please disable that script
[21:30] <bro> ldleworker_, how did you install your drivers? from hardware manager or manually from the ati site?
[21:30] <mdg> ikonia: who r u
[21:30] <saji> ikonia, oh! hpw does he/that work?
[21:30] <matt2154> No, it's there - I made sure of that.  And to ensure I wasn't doing something incredibly silly, I created a test user... and that user can't get to the desktop either
[21:30] <kansan> ikonia, ps -lA | ack mysql shows three results of mysqld_safe ; mysqld_safe and mysqld
[21:30] <ikonia> mdg: doesn't matter, please disable that script
[21:30]  * mdg pulls out lightsaber
[21:30] <ikonia> kansan: have you killed it ?
[21:30] <bzil_> je suis sur le mm canal !?
[21:30] <ikonia> mdg: stop
[21:30] <ldleworker_> bro : I think they installed automatically.
[21:30] <ikonia> !fr > bzil_
[21:31] <kansan> ikonia, no just trying to shut down with init.d script
[21:31] <coolcourt> does any mod or admin have any info on the aspire one's inability to recognize the webcam
[21:31] <ikonia> kansan: worth trying to kill it - then check the logs
[21:31] <ikonia> coolcourt: don't need to be a mod or admin, if the channel knows they will respond
[21:31] <saji> ikonia, how does the bot work?
[21:31]  * Pirate_Hunter is in luv with  w3m, cli and ubuntu <3
[21:31] <ikonia> saji: it's a bot - googloe supybot
[21:31] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: please,
[21:32] <webonaut> somebody installed ubuntu on asus eee t91 with touch screen?
[21:32] <saji> ikonia, i didn't get that-" googloe supybot"
[21:32] <ikonia> webonaut: few people in #eeepc
[21:32] <ascheel> Anybody here ever set up Samba over ssh?
[21:32] <ikonia> saji: sorry, google supybot
[21:32] <sayureez> in 9.04 there is no need to use wvdial for a usb modem right? the network connections has an automated wizard for this?
[21:32] <kansan> ikonia, i'm worried about data integrity if i shut it down an its doing something
[21:32] <ikonia> kansan: that's a valid concern, you could try shutting it down with mysqladmin
[21:32] <Aijse> ascheel, yes its the same as not over ssh
[21:33] <bro> ldleworker_, "fglrxinfo" gimme the output
[21:33] <ldleworker_> bro : "Error: unable to open display (null)"
[21:33] <ldleworker_> bro : probably because we're in shell mode?
[21:34] <saji> ikonia, thanks. I got that.
[21:34] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia: I mean it just setting up a server and using w3m to navigate to the pages and so far having minimal problems
[21:34] <bro> ldleworker_, no, i guess you don;t have fglrx
[21:34] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[21:34] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: don't need the "/me" commands
[21:34] <EvaLuaTe> i just installed gursormaker but when trying to run it i get this error: http://pastebin.com/d16abc0c9 , any idea how i could fix that?
[21:35] <xiong> files copied from my old mac (running os9, eg 'classic') -- filemaker pro files show up as truetype fonts -- granted that i can't open these at the moment with any known linux app, still i'd like nautilus to report them as what they are -- solution?
[21:35] <xiong> i don't understand how to instruct nautilus...
[21:35] <ivangarcia_> i need help, I have the uvcvideo driver but it doesn't create me the /dev/video0 device
[21:35] <ikonia> EvaLuaTe: looks like you're missing a python module
[21:35] <xiong> there doesn't seem to be such a facility
[21:35] <ivangarcia_> i have ubuntu jaunty and an acer webcam
[21:36] <EvaLuaTe> ikonia: well, i can't find any package named like that. any idea what i have to install?
[21:36] <pcfreak30> how do i change the ip from dhcp to static
[21:36] <coolcourt> my webcam doesnt register on my acer aspire one, is there any way to fix this
[21:36] <ikonia> EvaLuaTe: python gtk bindings ?
[21:36] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia: oh sorry :s
[21:36] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: thank you
[21:36] <EvaLuaTe> ikonia: could you please tell me the exact package name?
[21:37] <ldleworker_> bro : guys who installed the system said it autodtected the display. All they did was install ubuntu and give me the machine.
[21:37] <ikonia> EvaLuaTe: I don't know without looking
[21:37] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia: since your free here is a question how do I run a script in terminal at the moment doing ./[script] not working since i dont have X installed
[21:37] <geri_> hi
[21:37] <bro> ldleworker_, i understand
[21:37] <geri_> hi whats the problem here when starting apt-get update? http://pastebin.com/m497765f9
[21:37] <geri_> bro may u help?
[21:37] <sierinjs> if i'd like to compile on one computer, and then get it to other one with flash, then how could i get all libs that are linked to it?
[21:37] <amites> Can anyone point me to a tutorial to setup an alias/script to execute a command that accepts 1 argument and uses the current directory?     ex: 'python /SCRIPT_DIR/clevercss.py /CURRENT_DIR/ARGUEMENT_FILENAME"
[21:38] <ikonia> EvaLuaTe: maybe python-gtk2
[21:38] <EvaLuaTe> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d65ebcda8
[21:38] <ldleworker_> geri_: get your own support! :) just kidding.
[21:38] <pcfreak30> how do i change the ip from dhcp to static
[21:38] <guntbert> Pirate_Hunter: please reread/rephrase your question - the sentence is a bit ...
[21:38] <ikonia> pcfreak30: where are you getting the IP from ?
[21:38] <Aijse> pcfreak, right click the network symbol top right
[21:38] <EvaLuaTe> ikonia: python-gtk2 is already the newest version.
[21:38] <pcfreak30> its dcp. i need to set eth0 to static
[21:38] <pcfreak30> dhcp*
[21:38] <ikonia> rats
[21:39] <ikonia> pcfreak30: where is it getting dhcp address from
[21:39] <ldleworker_> geri_:  you have custom repositories that you've added that your computer can't connect to - probably because those repositories are down
[21:39] <pcfreak30> router
[21:39] <BlackFate> pcfreak30, you use network-manager?
[21:39] <pcfreak30> yes
[21:39] <bro> geri_, you added some broken repositories in your sources.list. you have to edit the file again and delete those that give error on update
[21:39] <erUSUL> geri_: you have third party repositories refusing your connections (a problem in their servers). we can not help with that
[21:39] <ikonia> pcfreak30: ok - then you need to assign it an ip address outside the router's dhcp pool
[21:39] <BlackFate> pcfreak30, right click on it
[21:39] <BlackFate> pcfreak30, edit connections... select eth0 and then edit
[21:40] <jimmy51_> what's the text editor in ubuntu server?
[21:40] <BlackFate> pcfreak30, ipv4 settings, and change method to manual, and type your ips
[21:40] <ikonia> jimmy51_: vim, nano, emacs, what ever you want
[21:40] <geri_> broken repositories are allowed?
[21:40] <lstarnes> jimmy51_: wither nano, vim, or emacs
[21:40] <jimmy51_> ah
[21:40] <jimmy51_> thanks
[21:40] <xTEMPLARx> nano is probably easiest to use if you've never used one before, jimmy (imo, of course)
[21:41] <ikonia> EvaLuaTe: top hit on google http://www.pygtk.org/
[21:41] <bro> geri_, do you understand what you have to do?
[21:41] <erUSUL> geri_: the server that holds the repo is refusing your connection. it may be down for mantenaince or maybe a meteor hitted its  datacenter who knows
[21:41] <Pirate_Hunter> guntbert: the script will run with gui but not from terminal if I try ./[script] just gives me '-bash: ./: is a directory' instead of runnign from cli
[21:42] <erUSUL> geri_: just remove the repos. third party repos are usally a bad idea anyway
[21:42] <EvaLuaTe> ikonia: quote from that site: PyGTK is included in most Linux distributions (including Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Opensuse, Gentoo, Mandrake, Redhat, SUSE...); the source code can also be downloaded and compiled from the links below.
[21:42] <ikonia> EvaLuaTe: yup
[21:42] <EvaLuaTe> ikonia: : Couldn't find package PyGTK
[21:42] <nemesis1911> yooo I need help with .. using my iPhone with Ubuntu
[21:43] <bro> ldleworker_, i asked seidos to help you, just talk to him, ok?
[21:43] <guntbert> Pirate_Hunter: without looking at the script I have no idea - care to pastebin it?
[21:43] <erUSUL> !find pygtk
[21:43] <erUSUL> !find python-gtk
[21:43] <ldleworker_> seidos, any idea as to what I can do?
[21:43] <ikonia> EvaLuaTe: python-gtk2
[21:43] <seidos> nemesis1911: have you tried rhythmbox?
[21:43] <EvaLuaTe> ikonia: that one is already installed
[21:43] <nemesis1911> yup
[21:44] <seidos> ldleworker_: I haven't read the channel log to see what your problem is.  Is it an ati card problem?
[21:44] <ldleworker_> seidos: did bro tell you what happened so far?
[21:44] <seidos> ldleworker_: no, he is trying to get his vm up
[21:44] <nemesis1911> no
[21:44] <ikonia> EvaLuaTe: then it's already installed, it may not be able to find the module depending on how you've configured the other application
[21:44] <saji> erUSUL, what is this !find. What do you mean by that?
[21:44] <ldleworker_> seidos: I hit the power strip and computer went off. Now when I boot after the Ubuntu progress bar, when it hits X, I'm thrown graphical corruption.
[21:44] <seidos> nemesis1911: rhythmbox is the only thing I know that works...that or gtk_pod.  DRM music won't transfer over.
[21:44] <erUSUL> saji: trying to help EvaLuaTe
[21:44] <ikonia> seidos: it's a bot command
[21:44] <seidos> !iphone
[21:45] <bro> seidos: he's xserver is messed up, he's on radeon x300, without ati proprietary drivers installed i guess
[21:45] <seidos> ikonia: thank you
[21:45] <ldleworker_> seidos: I have done the recovery menu, xfix and attempted to do dpkg reconfigure
[21:45] <matt2154> ikonia: No, it's there - I made sure of that.  And to ensure I wasn't doing something incredibly silly, I created a test user... and that user can't get to the desktop either.  Any other suggestions?
[21:45] <seidos> ldleworker_: it used to work, then when power is cut off, and back on, problems?
[21:45] <centaur5> my system will no longer boot cause fsck fails so I manually run e2fsck -f -v -y /dev/sda1 and reboot but it still gives the same message.  Are there any other options?
[21:45] <ascheel> Anybody here ever set up Samba over ssh?
[21:45] <ldleworker_> seidos: Exactly.
[21:45] <saji> erUSUL, i'm asking because i often get such msg. With '!' in the front. Any particular meaning for that?
[21:45] <cornet> oh yay - firestarter is fscking useless
[21:46] <guntbert> !ohmy | cornet
[21:46] <erUSUL> saji: is the way to call the bot ubottu
[21:46] <seidos> ldleworker_: can you do cntrl-alt-f1 into a terminal?
[21:46] <ikonia> matt2154: create a user that has a home dir in /tmp or somewhere local and test that
[21:46] <erUSUL> !bot | saji
[21:46] <ikonia> cornet: if you think it's useless don't use it, don't need to moan to the channel
[21:46] <erUSUL> saji: you see this becouse someone trys to say you something relevant
[21:46] <ldleworker_> seidos: not from the graphical corruption no. Nothing seems to work. Seems like the keyboard and mouse are dead and nothing on the screen is moving. Static corruption.
[21:47] <ldleworker_> seidos: I can go to the root console in the recovery menu?
[21:47] <saji> erUSUL, how did you point ubottu to me. That's interesting..
[21:47] <longtime> Hi
[21:47] <seidos> ldleworker_: so the problem occurs when x starts, not before (POST goes with a hitch)?
[21:48] <erUSUL> saji: you swa the line i typed « !factoid | nickname » but anyway infobots are offtopic here ;P
[21:48] <masterchief324> what is the unix command for deleting files?
[21:48] <cornet> ok so i connect to the internet with public address on eth0 and firestarter doesn't setup stateful tracking INPUT but rather just DROPS anything bound for the public address (apart from ICMP) - is this normal ?
[21:48] <saji> erUSUL, so what will this '!' follow with, to call ubottu.?
[21:48] <guntbert> saji: the | symbol does that
[21:48] <pik}> i cant get my atheros AR5008 wireless card to working with ubuntu 9.04 64 edition. can someone please help me? :(
[21:48] <BlackFate> masterchief324, rm
[21:48] <seidos> ldleworker_: the first thing I can think of is mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old
[21:48] <masterchief324> thanks
[21:48] <ikonia> !ubottu > saji
[21:48] <erUSUL> saji: with any of the defined factoids
[21:49] <Pirate_Hunter> guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/272348/
[21:49] <seidos> ldleworker_: since you say cntrl-alt-f1 doesn't work.  does pressing capslock or numlock on the keyboard change the lights?
[21:49] <saji> erUSUL, factoid?
[21:49] <ikonia> saji: read the info ubottu just pm'd you
[21:49] <saji> @guntbert what does the '>' sign do?
[21:49] <ldleworker_> seidos: No it does not
[21:49] <ikonia> saji: read the info ubottu just pm'd you
[21:50] <longtime> I was wondering if anyone knew if ubuntu jaunty had a better sound equalizer available?
[21:50] <ldleworker_> seidos: From root console, I did the backup for xorg.conf, then ran startx - I get the same corruption
[21:50] <nemesis1911> when i tried using rhythmbox my computer frezez
[21:50] <guntbert> saji: you get a "private" message from ubottu
[21:50] <masterchief324> how do you remove a read-only folder
[21:50] <cornet> masterchief324: sudo rm <folder>
[21:51] <masterchief324> thanks
[21:51] <guntbert> !ot > saji like this
 don't run that, it will remove the folder
[21:51] <seidos> ldleworker_: did you try setting vesa in xorg.conf under device?  well, that doesn't really matter, you're saying your keyboard doesn't even work, that would only affect video.
 you want to use chmod
[21:51] <BlackFate> master_of_master, to remove folder , sudo rm -rf <folder>
[21:51] <masterchief324> thats what i am trying to do
[21:51] <nemesis1911> .. I don't know why but my rythmbox crashes my computer why?
[21:51] <seidos> ldleworker_: maybe an fsck might work, you might have file corruption on your disk after the power went out
[21:52] <lstarnes> BlackFate: the -f isn't always needed
[21:52] <THRHOPE4LINUX> Anyone here run ubuntu sparc?
[21:52] <ldleworker_> seidos: I tried that.
[21:52] <ldleworker_> seidos : My installation is foobar isn't it
 you said remove read-only, not delete the folder...
[21:52] <Pirate_Hunter> guntbert: so how would you run that in terminal?
[21:52] <saji> !questions  > guntbert
[21:52] <cornet> Steeley: no he said "remove _a_ read-only folder"
[21:52] <seidos> ldleworker_: it might be fubar, I'm trying to think of what I would do.  it must be fixable somehow...you can log into a shell
[21:52] <saji> guntbert, did u get that?
[21:52] <guntbert> Pirate_Hunter: misunderstanding - I would have needed the content of the script, not the name :-) - but anyway - I gotta go - sorry
[21:53] <Steeley> cornet: misread it :)
[21:53] <seidos> ldleworker_: maybe you can do sudo apt-get remove xorg or something
[21:53] <masterchief324> got a long list of this rm: cannot remove `/media/JASPER/Documents/music/Tubular Bells 2003/Folder.jpg': Read-only file system
[21:53] <masterchief324> rm: cannot remove `/media/JASPER/Documents/music/01 Hotel California.wma': Read-only file system
[21:53] <saji> guntbert, got that privete message?
[21:53] <seidos> ldleworker_: then sudo apt-get install xorg
[21:53] <bro> seidos, fsck isn't distructive? badblocks sure isn't on read mode only
[21:53] <lstarnes> masterchief324: that's because of the file system's permissions
[21:54] <lstarnes> masterchief324: the device might be read-only
[21:54] <cornet> masterchief324: what's the device ?
[21:54] <seidos> bro: fsck on a reboot, he said he tried it already.
[21:54] <masterchief324> a 8 gb sandisk flash drive
[21:54] <halberd> I was using my computer when all of a sudden it logged me out
[21:54] <halberd> how can I discover why
[21:54] <lstarnes> halberd: did it restart?
[21:54] <seidos> bro: well, he just said he tried fsck, I read the command for fsck but I don't remember what it is now :\
[21:54] <halberd> no restart just logout
[21:54] <jana_> i have a problem with an asus l 1400 laptop and it´s intel graphic chip (the pixels are changing anytime ) does anybody know the problem with this old machine ???
[21:55] <bro> seidos, ok, i was just saying because i read about it being distructive, i guess it usses write mode automatically
[21:55] <saji> how do you send privete meassge to me, @guntbert Please reply to this doubt too, then i'll stop.
[21:55] <lstarnes> halberd: open a terminal and type dmesg
[21:55] <lstarnes> saji: /msg nickname message
[21:55] <nemesis1911> yoo guys how do I sync songs onto my iPhone in ubuntu.. Rythmbox crashes my computer I dunno why
[21:55] <cornet> masterchief324: obvious i know but ... does it have a "lock" switch on it ?
[21:55] <seidos> bro: oh yeah !fsck
[21:55] <seidos> !fsck
[21:55] <erUSUL> nemesis1911: gtkpod ?
[21:55] <saji> @guntbert, how do you send privete meassge to me
[21:55] <ikonia> saji: can you stop playing with the bot
[21:55] <bro> !fsck
[21:55] <masterchief324> no
[21:55] <seidos> bro: I better remember sudo shutdown -F -r now
[21:55] <ikonia> saji: you have been given information on the bot in a private message please read that
[21:56] <mainr30> hey guys
[21:56] <erUSUL> saji: lstarnes already answered that to you
[21:56] <saji> ikonia, is guntbert a bot too?
[21:56] <mainr30> samba aint workin for me
[21:56] <ikonia> saji: no
[21:56] <mainr30> could someone give me a hand please
[21:56] <ldleworker_> seidos: uninstalling and reinstalling xorg provides the same behaivor
[21:56] <bro> seidos "sudo badblocks -s -v -c 10240 /dev/sd*" :)
[21:56] <cornet> masterchief324: humm ok - what's the device name (type mount and look for /media/JASPER)
[21:56] <root> it wont let me login to my samba profile from an M$ machine
[21:56] <erUSUL> !details | root
[21:56] <saji> ikonia, then i' have alraedy stopped playing with the bot.
[21:56] <Guest72633> erUSUL, im trying, just give me a chance :)
[21:57] <ikonia> Ronald: samba profile from an microsoft machine, can you be more specific ?
[21:57] <ikonia> Ronald: sorry
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Mainr30: dont forget: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER
[21:57] <saji> erUSUL, how will you send a private message to someone?
[21:57] <masterchief324> /dev/sdf1 on /media/JASPER type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,utf8,shortname=winnt,uid=1000)
[21:57] <erUSUL> Guest72633: do it in one line or it will impossible to follow you
[21:57] <jana_> i am running ubuntu 9.04
[21:57] <lstarnes> saji: please read what I said to you two minutes ago
[21:57] <ikonia> Guest72633: samba profile from an microsoft machine, can you be more specific ?
[21:57] <seidos> ldleworker_: do you have any ideas?
[21:57] <lstarnes> saji: /msg nickname message
[21:57] <Ronald> ikonia, hi mate ;)
[21:57] <Guest72633> if i try and login to my domain profile i get a "windows could not locate the roaming profile and is logging you on with a tempory profile instead, changes to this profile will not be saved when you logoff" message and it just creates a new temp profile for me
[21:57] <halberd> lstarnes, http://paste.lisp.org/display/87193 is the last few lines from dmesg
[21:57] <ikonia> Ronald: hey, sorry about that
[21:57] <erUSUL> saji: as already said lstarnes answered you two minutes ago 22:55 < lstarnes> saji: /msg nickname message
[21:58] <Guest72633> i can map network drives on the PDC but i cant logon to the PDC
[21:58] <Guest72633> anyone any ideas?
[21:58] <ldleworker_> seidos: is there anyway we can ask the system what's wrong? Like is there an xorg log somewhere it might be puking out the answer?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Guest72633: if you edit /etc/smaba/sm.conf   you can add shares easy
[21:58] <halberd> lstarnes, the line "[26082.962469] [drm:gm45_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 0" appears to be the last error
[21:58] <Ronald> ikonia, don't worry about it :D
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> smb.conf
[21:58] <erUSUL> ldleworker_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[21:58] <seidos> ldleworker_: ah, yeah, I think it's /etc/X11
[21:58] <halberd> lstarnes, that and "[26085.851568] [drm:i915_setparam] *ERROR* unknown parameter 4"
[21:58] <Guest72633> ActionParsnip, thanks, i know how to add shares, i just cant login to samba as a pdc
[21:58] <lstarnes> halberd: it might be something else. see if you get logged out randomly again
[21:58] <saji> erUSUL, i thought he was correcting one of my errors. anyways.. thanks... :-)
[21:58] <cornet> masterchief324: that's quite odd, any interesting output from dmesg ?
[21:58] <lstarnes> halberd: those may be driver errors of some sort
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: quit changing name, its REALLY annoying
[21:59] <lstarnes> halberd: I think X might somehow use drm
[21:59] <centaur5> my system will no longer boot cause fsck fails so I manually run e2fsck -f -v -y /dev/sda1 and reboot but it still gives the same message.  Can anything else be done to repair it?
[21:59] <halberd> what does drm stand for
[21:59] <halberd> not digital rights management
[21:59] <jana_> can anyone help me how to configure the xorg.conf for that intel onboard graphic chip???
[21:59] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, sorry, i set it to root but nickserv changed it, then i figured i mayaswell use my normal name
[21:59] <lstarnes> halberd: in graphics, it has something to do with direct rendering
[21:59] <Ronald> halberd, draconian ;)
[21:59] <Ronald> direct rendering manager
[21:59] <seidos> lstarnes: nope erUSUL is right, it's in /var/log

[21:59] <halberd> ok
[21:59] <erUSUL> centaur5: why did you not passed -p to fsck ( -p --> preen or repair)
[22:00] <lstarnes> halberd: probably direct rendering manager
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    then set your samba password, you can now set the samba password of your normal user to give it samba access
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: forget root, it makes things not work
[22:00] <peol> Hey, anyone good at PulseAudio debugging? I'm getting crackly sound in games (mainly QUAKE LIVE), I've tried all possible solution mentioned on Google but still no-go :/
[22:00] <centaur5> erUSUL: I read in a forum to just use the gparted options which are -f -v -y
[22:00] <peol> Debugging: http://pastebin.com/d1f18e1d0
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: use the first user you created at install
[22:00] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, i know know how to do that too about the samba password, ive done it i just cant get samba to log me on, it was working before, now it doesnt
[22:01] <seidos> lstarnes: I don't see how viewing the log will help to fix this particular problem if you already tried removing and reinstalling the xorg package
[22:01] <The-Druid_> i'm having problems to install a j2re plugin on my firefox... any idea?
[22:01] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, with regard root i meant i was trying to use that as my IRC name.... not my ubuntu username
[22:01] <seidos> lstarnes: this is theoretical for me, I don't have a system I can try it on, unfortunately
[22:01] <erUSUL> centaur5: dunno maybe the fs needs some repair ...
[22:01] <lstarnes> seidos: the logs would likely provide some clues as to what is causing the problem
[22:01] <jana_> why doesn´t anyone give a damn on my problem???
[22:02] <lstarnes> jana_: please don't assume that
[22:02] <erUSUL> jana_: it shuld configure itself
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: check https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/82213
[22:02] <erUSUL> jana_: but if it does not try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[22:02] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, i know how to make network shares...
[22:02] <lstarnes> jana_: it is possible that nobody currently has an answer for your question or someone is looking for one
[22:02] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, i run a domain controller....
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: the bit starting [DOWNLOADS]    should be added to /etc/samba.smb.conf
[22:02] <erUSUL> jana_: also keep in mind the problems intel card give in jaunty
[22:02] <matt2154> ikonia:  Done.  Created a user that has its homedir in /tmp/username.   I can get to the desktop fine with this user.
[22:02] <erUSUL> !intel |ç jana_
[22:02] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, k..
[22:02] <nemesis1911> yoooooooo
[22:02] <centaur5> erUSUL: Are there other ways to repair it or do I have to do a new install?
[22:02] <erUSUL> !intel | jana_
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: you can use that as a basis and edit as you need
[22:03] <ikonia> matt2154: so the problem is your nfs mount
[22:03] <nemesis1911> how do I get my dam iPhone to work in UBUNTU??
[22:03] <erUSUL> centaur5: i would try with the -p option to fsck
[22:03] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, i know how to make network shares, for the third time.
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: the thing in the brackets is the sare name, the rest is self explanatory
[22:03] <matt2154> ikonia:  Another oddity, sometimes I can get to the desktop fine with an NFS homedir'ed user by using failsafe gnome.  Othertimes, not so much.
[22:03] <shruggar> is there an easy way to set up an alternative boot which loads pretty much nothing other than wifi drivers? I have a netbook and am looking for a really-fast boot for when I don't want to do anything other than connect to the nearest wifi access point and then ssh somewhere else
[22:03] <jana_> thank you all !!!
[22:03] <centaur5> erUSUL: Thank you very much!  I will try that and cross my fingers.
[22:03] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, I Know How To Make Network Shares
[22:03] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, I Know How To Make Network Shares
[22:03] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, I Know How To Make Network Shares
[22:03] <FloodBot2> lenswipe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:03] <ikonia> matt2154: because it doens't need to map to the home dir for failsafe,
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: then once you add those, restart samba service, the shares will be accessible
[22:04] <jana_> i try to follow the link you gave me...
[22:04] <nemesis1911> oooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmggggggggggggggggggggg
[22:04] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, i just cant get samba to log me on as a domain user, its stopped working!
[22:04] <ikonia> nemesis1911: stop that please.
[22:04] <bro> seidos, ldleworker_, yep just remembered from another user: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   try that
[22:04] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, it was working, now it doesnt work and i have to restart my server every time this happens
[22:04] <nemesis1911> ikonia .. B1te m3
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> lenswipe: then im unsure. ive not used a DC for auth
[22:04] <lenswipe> ActionParsnip, k
[22:04] <lstarnes> nemesis1911: that is not appropriate
[22:05] <erUSUL> shruggar: you can tweak one of the runlevels to your needs
[22:05] <nemesis1911> not kewl..
[22:06] <ldleworker_> bro : Nope same thing
[22:06] <lenswipe> owned
[22:06] <ikonia> nemesis1911: please don't do that again, when someone aks you to not do something that disrupts the channel, please don't do it next time
[22:06] <shruggar> erUSUL, how do I know which runlevel is free to be used? should I just defined one with a really high number and then pass some init flag into grub?
[22:06] <erUSUL> shruggar: for a start disable gdm so Xwindows does not load then you can disable other services
[22:06] <seidos> man, time is moving fast today
[22:06] <ldleworker_> bro, seidos : Here are the relevant warning and error lines in my Xorg log : http://ldlework.pastebin.com/m4d02d18a
[22:06] <Barnose> Someone please tell me what to type to join the windows xp chat
[22:06] <matt2154> ikonia: OK, that makes sense.  I'm still unclear why failsafe only works intermittently though (I'm now trying to duplicate it not working in failsafe mode).
[22:06] <seidos> someone slow it down
[22:06] <lstarnes> Barnose: /join ##windows
[22:06] <ikonia> matt2154: yes, intermittently is a bit odd
[22:06] <matt2154> ikonia: is it possible to view a gnome startup log somehow?
[22:06] <ldleworker_> seidos bro : I noticed the startx spit out errors on the command line before starting
[22:07] <The-Druid_> i'm having problems to install a j2re plugin on my firefox... any idea?
[22:07] <ikonia> matt2154: /var/log contains the bulk of the logs, look at the x log too
[22:07] <ldleworker_> seidos bro : can I save that to a file to see what it says?
[22:07] <erUSUL> shruggar: ubuntu boots into 2   3,4 and 5 should be free to use
[22:07] <ldleworker_> seidos bro : startx > somefile.txt ?
[22:07] <mneptok> The-Druid_: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[22:07] <erUSUL> shruggar: after that you can add a grub entry that boots into that runlevel
[22:07] <bro> ldleworker_, not that i know, you can always take a picture of the screen :)
[22:07] <masterchief324> http://paste.ubuntu.com/272355/
[22:08] <Q|> Hi Folks. Anyone an idea why my X limits my resolution to 1600x1200 with the new monitor, even though it can display 1944xsomething? The Monitor is not being recognized (Unknown)
[22:08] <masterchief324> sorry bout the flood earlier.
[22:08] <shruggar> erUSUL, is this something I'll absolutely need to use the command-line for, or is there a handy-dandy gui for editing runlevels in ubuntu?
[22:08] <ldleworker_> bro: the text from running the command before it takes over the screen I mean.
[22:08] <ldleworker_> bro : startx command's textual output
[22:08] <erUSUL> shruggar: maybe bum can do it i dunno for sure
[22:08] <erUSUL> !info bum | shruggar
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Q|: you could set the res in xorg.conf. Do you really want to use that res. everything will be tiny
[22:09] <seidos> ldleworker_: I'm looking at my log for comparison...
[22:09] <matt2154> ikonia: are you sure failsafe doesnt use the home dir?  It is coming up with my customized icon bar, and hitting terminal drops me to my home dir...
[22:09] <seidos> ldleworker_: that's a good idea, startx > somefile.txt, never tried it
[22:09] <ikonia> matt2154: it may read the home dir if it's there - but it doesn't/shouldn't need it
[22:10] <Zappo> Hi, im having a problem with my Mic. does anyone know how to get it to work?
[22:10] <Loder> What is the best VM software for running ubuntu and fedora on windows? Anyone know?
[22:10] <sebsebseb> Loder: Why with Windows as the host?
[22:10] <Ktron> Loder, 'best'? There's vmware, virtualbox, and virtual pc
[22:11] <cornet> masterchief324: what was that disk formatted in ?
[22:11] <ldleworker_> seidos: startx is /definately/ outputting something when I run it - however this text is not being piped into the file via startx > somefile.txt
[22:11] <Vik> hi sebastien_
[22:11] <ikonia> Loder: ask in ##windows
[22:11] <Q|> ActionParsnip: Yes, it's a 22" CRT and I drove this resolution already on my old one, which was the predecessor (?) of the current one. CompaQ P1100 -> CompaQ P1220. That's why I'm so confused it doesn't recognise it.
[22:11] <saji> @Loder, Virtualbox  us userfriendly.
[22:11] <shruggar> Loder, I'd recommend virtualbox
[22:11] <Loder> Well, I have windows vista and I'm not sure of how I should get a triple boot going with fedora and ubuntu (and vista), so somebody suggested that I test with virtual machines
[22:11] <Vik> Hi saji
[22:11] <sebsebseb> Vik: You meant me?
[22:11] <longtime> Is there a way to tune your sound level like you would with a graphic equalizer with the standard jaunty jackalope running gear?
[22:11] <ikonia> Loder: ##windows will help you with virtualzation
[22:11] <seidos> ldleworker_: perhaps at this point we should eliminate that your hardware is causing the problem
[22:11] <saji> @Vik, Hi
[22:12] <jedc> longtime try alsamixer in a terminal
[22:12] <sebsebseb> Loder: Virtualbox :)
[22:12] <seidos> ldleworker_: the possibility, anyway
[22:12] <ldleworker_> seidos: okay
[22:12] <JNSamuel> how risky is it to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 within the update manager?
[22:12] <Loder> okay, thanks
[22:12] <longtime> will do
[22:12] <ikonia> JNSamuel: shouldn't be risky
[22:12] <lstarnes> JNSamuel: if you do things carefully, it should work
[22:12] <veinor_> how can I find out why I got banned?
[22:12] <bro> seidos: koala is up and running on vm :D
[22:12] <ikonia> veinor_: join #ubuntu-ops
[22:12] <lstarnes> JNSamuel: make sure you read the release/upgrading notes first
[22:12] <seidos> longtime: I have NO idea
[22:12] <JNSamuel> one of my friends tried it a while back, he said his machine couldn't boot up when he rebooted.
[22:12] <EvaLuaTe> does anyone know a good cursor editor that can easily be installed on ubuntu?
[22:13] <longtime> all good :-)
[22:13] <xmnt> Loder, I would use virtualbox - doesn't get any easier, but if you want to triple boot create 3 partitions, install windows 1st and one of the lin distros last so you get the grub bootloader
[22:13] <seidos> longtime: but I'm sure it's possible.  Anything is possible, with enough skill
[22:13] <Vik> hi Loder
[22:13] <longtime> Well, skill is where I'm lacking
[22:13] <seidos> longtime: ditto
[22:13] <longtime> but I'll try alsamixer in a terminal
[22:13] <seidos> longtime: maybe the better question is "how do I get more skills"?
[22:13] <Loder> xmnt: I'm just not quite sure of which distribution to install first. I'm also not sure how large each partition for the linux's should be (/, /home, /boot)
[22:14] <kubanc> does anybody have a clue, why i cannot install vlc 1.0.0. I addes the ppa and signing key, but update doesn't update my vlc. it's still 0.9.9.a. i also enabled multiverse
[22:14] <longtime> I believe time and interest have a good amount to do with that
[22:14] <seidos> how do I get more skill in Ubuntu?
[22:14] <ldleworker_> seidos: did you have an idea how to ensure its not the hardware?
[22:14] <mneptok> kubanc: sudo apt-get update
[22:14] <sebsebseb> Loder: Virtual machine of a Linux distro to get a feel for it oh ok, but  for a more real experience you need to put it on your hard disk
[22:14] <seidos> listen to lstarnes?
[22:14] <JNSamuel> seidos: aptitude --help?
[22:14] <JNSamuel> heh jk
[22:14] <xcdfgkjhgcv> seidos: man man
[22:14] <seidos> my brain is a hardware problem :D
[22:14] <lstarnes> seidos: I know little about hardware
[22:14] <kubanc> sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade doesn't work
[22:14] <Sercan> hi
[22:14] <xmnt> Loder, I would install windows first .. just use gparted from the livecd to create 3 paritions for about how big you think each will be
[22:14] <seidos> xcdfgkjhgcv: never thought of that
[22:14] <gsp2009> is there a way to stop the shutdown process? I have sent the shutdown, and tovid is running... ugh.
[22:14] <lstarnes> kubanc: what about sudo apt-get install vlc=1.0.0?
[22:14] <xcdfgkjhgcv> seidos: The only command you'll ever need to know is "man man"
[22:14] <seidos> lstarnes: I know little about everything
[22:14] <Vik> hey ldleworker_
[22:15] <ldleworker_> Vik: yeah?
[22:15] <saji> @kubanc, how did you sign the PPA?
[22:15] <Loder> Windows is already on my pc, and the space is already freed for the linux distro's. So, ubuntu or fedora next?
[22:15] <cornet> Vik: are you a bot ?
[22:15] <kubanc> sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7613768D
[22:15] <xcdfgkjhgcv> ikonia: man man will allow you to figure any problem out.
[22:15] <kubanc> sudo apt-get install vlc=1.0.0 doesn't work
[22:15] <saji> @kubanc, so that's ok. And about adding the PPA to the sourcelist. How?
[22:15] <erUSUL> saji: the ppa owner sings the packages
[22:16] <Vik> ldleworker_, nopes I aint, do you knw how to install cornet?
[22:16] <JNSamuel> fedora, yuk. why would you even contemplate on installing that dung
[22:16] <saji> erUSUL, sorry for that.
[22:16] <xxxm> hi everyone...
[22:16] <seidos> xcdfgkjhgcv: I read it, I don't feel more skillful...but maybe
[22:16] <ldleworker_> Vik: what?
[22:16] <kubanc> i added to /etc/apt/sources this: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu hardy main
[22:16] <kubanc> deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu hardy main
[22:16] <Okin> salut les gens
[22:16] <cornet> Vik: huh ?
[22:16] <Vik> ldleworker_, Oooops! Sorry.. How to install vmware?
[22:16] <Loder> xmnt: I already have vista, so should I install ubuntu next, or fedora?
[22:16] <kubanc> i did what it says here: https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc
[22:16] <shruggar> can anyone recommend a solution for live encryption of my home directory? (have a netbook, the goal is to protect passwords and work files which may be in the home directory if it's stolen)
[22:16] <Vik> ldleworker_, Oooops! Sorry.. How to install vmware on ubuntu I mean?
[22:16] <diavolo77> ciao
[22:17] <ldleworker_> seidos: heh out of ideas?
[22:17] <sebsebseb> Vik: Virtualbox is usually recommended instead
[22:17] <saji> erUSUL, we are accesing the PPA via a public key. Now its correct?
[22:17] <diavolo77> italiano?
[22:17] <seidos> ldleworker_: I thought you could throw a livecd in, if you have a livecd to test
[22:17] <xmnt> Loder, either one - it's not really important since you windows is the only 1 that will screw up grub
[22:17] <lstarnes> kubanc: what about just sudo apt-get install vlc?
[22:17] <ldleworker_> seidos: I'll try that
[22:17] <sebsebseb> !it |  diavolo77
[22:17] <lstarnes> !it | diavolo77
[22:17] <seidos> ldleworker_: I have ideas, just not fast enough at typing, or thinking perhaps
[22:17] <Vik> sebastien_, Thanks
[22:17] <seidos> ldleworker_: really?
[22:17] <diavolo77> :) grazie
[22:17] <kubanc> vlc is already the newest version.
[22:17] <kubanc> i'm confused :S
[22:17] <ldleworker_> seidos: sure I'll try to get a live CD on there
[22:17] <erUSUL> saji: no we verify the dled package against the public key
[22:17] <lstarnes> kubanc: check apt-cache policy vlc
[22:18] <Loder> xmnt: Well I already had ubuntu and windows dual-booting with grub, and when I tried to install fedora I got an error every time. That's why I started from scratch with windows only. Is there something special that you have to do to add fedora to vista and ubuntu?
[22:18] <sebsebseb> Vik: and if you want USB support get it from them rather than the repo,  and then the USB support probably needs setting up also in 9.04 anyway
[22:18] <Vik> sebsebseb, i accidentally thanked sebastien_ and made a mistake by calling
[22:18] <seidos> ldleworker_: on your system?
[22:18] <kubanc>  Installed: 0.9.9a-1~ppa1~hardy2
[22:18] <kubanc>   Candidate: 0.9.9a-1~ppa1~hardy2
[22:18] <seidos> ldleworker_: is the system in front of you?
[22:18] <Q|> !resolution
[22:18] <ldleworker_> seidos: seidos yes
[22:18] <stinky> can anyone suggest a nice text editor with syntax highlighting , in windows I use notepad++ for HTML CSS and java script.  TIA :)
[22:18] <saji> erUSUl, ok thanks..
[22:18] <sebsebseb> Vik: that happens a lot,   they do the wrong one when it comes to me
[22:18] <Veinor> stinky: gedit
[22:18] <xmnt> Loder, nope ... just 3 different partitions ... maybe your fedora disk has an error ... you can install as many distros as you want on the same hd
[22:19] <sebsebseb> Vik: this sebastien_ I  don't remember seeing chatting in here even
[22:19] <jedc> stinky, gedit, or emacs if you want to learn esoteric key combos :p
[22:19] <JNSamuel> so, if i upgraded my distribution release via the update manager. is it blatantly obvious that i'll have to backup if it is risky?
[22:19] <kubanc> here is all what it prints http://paste.ubuntu.com/272358/
[22:19] <lstarnes> JNSamuel: it's never a bad idea to keep backups
[22:19] <sebsebseb> Vik: loads of people in the channal who never type anything in to it
[22:19] <EvaLuaTe> !find cursor editor
[22:19] <lstarnes> kubanc: it sees 0.9.9 in the ppa
[22:19] <Loder> xmnt: So You think that if I just install ubuntu and fedora in the free space with each their own automatic configurations, it should work?
[22:19] <xmnt> JNSamuel, that's why I keep my /home elsewhere
[22:19] <stinky> ok thanks Veinor , I am in xfce , xubuntu mousepad just is not cutting it
[22:19] <sebsebseb> Vik:  or so it seems
[22:20] <JNSamuel> true, but i have gigs of stuff in my home directory with alot of software
[22:20] <EvaLuaTe> !find cursor
[22:20] <cornet> JNSamuel: do you have somewhere to back it up to ?
[22:20] <xmnt> yes, you will need a parition for each distro
[22:20] <kubanc> but i added the ppa like it says in the homepage for vlc player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[22:20] <xmnt> Loder, ^^
[22:21] <JNSamuel> i have a couple of externals, yes.
[22:21] <Loder> xmnt: so I have to set up the partitions first? But linux use several partitions, don't they? Like /, /home, /boot, swap?
[22:21] <xmnt> JNSamuel, that the exact reason why i do it
[22:21] <JNSamuel> transfer speed never reaches over 12mb/s though, so it would be pretty slow
[22:21] <erUSUL> kubanc: i can tell that the ppa works for jaunty.
[22:21] <lstarnes> kubanc: try sudo aptitude install vlc=1.0.1-1~ppa3~hardy
[22:21] <mneptok> kubanc: pastebin your sources.list
[22:21] <cornet> JNSamuel: can't you leave it overnight ?
[22:21] <movela1> kubanc: i have vlc 1.0.1
[22:21] <movela1> i installed it thru ubuntu tweak
[22:22] <movela1> just a simple click and update
[22:22] <mneptok> kubanc: i bet you added the line "ppa:c-korn/vlc"
[22:22] <xmnt> Loder, no - thats the file structure ... just use gparted and manually create 3 paritions, 1 for each distro
[22:22] <saji> @movelal how did you do it. Tha tweaking?\
[22:22] <cornet> JNSamuel: but it this way there are 2 types of people 1) those that backup, 2) those that have never had a hard drive failure ;)
[22:22] <Q|> ActionParsnip: It let's me only use a maximum of 1600x1200, even though I told it per xorg.conf to use only one mode, 1920x1440@85. Any ideas why it's ignoring this?
[22:22] <saji> movela, how did you do the tweaking?
[22:23] <JNSamuel> im one of those that has never had a hard drive failure
[22:23] <Loder> So all I have to do is go create an ext3 partition for each linux distribution? And ubuntu and fedora will set up the other logical drives automatically? Do I have to leave some space for that, or will it use the space that I create inside the ext3 partition?
[22:23] <movela> saji: i used ubuntu-tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[22:23] <JNSamuel> but it's the dodgey upgrade button in the update manager that scares me, if it doesn't work. why is it there?
[22:23] <xmnt> JNSamuel, this is how I keep things ... special apps installed in /opt  ... /home dir contains config and app data and is stored on a different parition and backed up to a seperate hd
[22:23] <matt2154> ikonia: Gar, I have no idea.  I guess I'll just perpetually log in under gnome failsafe mode.  Failsafe seems to work everytime.  Non fail safe via NFS, gives me a mouse pointer, and but never displays the top or bottom menu bars
[22:24] <saji> movela, thanks.let e check that/
[22:24] <movela> you can clean up the system, install apps, enable repos, and all sort of sweet stuff
[22:24] <kubanc> sudo aptitude install vlc=1.0.1-1~ppa3~hardy doesn't work, unable to find version,  sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/272364/
[22:24] <InvisibleMan> I installed Xubuntu using the Jaunty Ubuntu network boot.  It installed without any problems, however it won't boot.  The first time I tried, it lagged for 10 minutes at 15%, then again at 75%, and finally stopped completely after going to a black screen where it mentioned a lot of segmentation faults and a few other errors.  Any ideas on how I could fix this?
[22:24] <Loder> xmnt: So all I have to do is go create an ext3 partition for each linux distribution? And ubuntu and fedora will set up the other logical drives automatically? Do I have to leave some space for that, or will it use the space that I create inside the ext3 partition?
[22:25] <cornet> JNSamuel: well i can't remember the last time an ubuntu upgrade went completely wrong
[22:25] <JNSamuel> i suppose i'll give it a try, love a bit of torture
[22:25] <movela> saji:  its a life saver for me.. enable delelopmental, testing, stable repos. on most popular apps. picasa google skype etc
[22:26] <xmnt> Loder, create a partition for both ubuntu and fedora ... installation for each distro will take care of the rest
[22:26] <JNSamuel> cornet: that's good, puts my mind at rest a little
[22:26] <cornet> JNSamuel: worst i think i've had with ubuntu is gfx driver flail
[22:26] <matt2154> ikonia: the only semi interesting thing I found in the gdm logs was:  "[config/dbus] couldn't take over org.x.config: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Connection "1.360" is not allowed to own the service "org.x.config.display20" due to security policies in the configuration file)  ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log".  But I think that only happens when I do a switch user (spin up a second X)
[22:26] <cornet> JNSamuel: and it's been a long time since i've not been able to rescue a linux install ;)
[22:26] <saji> movela, actually what is ubuntu tweak?
[22:26] <Loder> xmnt: Alright. Maybe it'll work better if I install fedora first. Ubuntu seems to have more options and seems to be more dynamic during installation. Thank you very much for your help
[22:27] <saji> movela, is it the future replacementt for Synaptic?
[22:27] <JNSamuel> here goes, i'll watch the rest of black hawk down first heh
[22:27] <JNSamuel> :>
[22:27] <cornet> JNSamuel: gl :)
[22:27] <xmnt> Loder, n/p
[22:28] <andyL> hello
[22:28] <ikonia> matt2154: that doesn't seem to be anything of value
[22:29] <saji> andyL, hello.
[22:29] <saji> andyL, are you there in lenovo forums?
[22:30] <andyL> i want to install ubuntu 64 bit on my system and was wondering if the issue is still occuring with ati radeon cards where video play back flickers while compiz is enabled
[22:30] <sebsebseb> andyL: I think so
[22:30] <andyL> :(
[22:30] <sebsebseb> andyL: yeah there are still ATI issues  in 9.04, but the video flickering when compiz is enabled??
[22:31] <matt2154> ikonia: I wonder if it has something to do with the proprietary nvidia driver.  I was getting odd renderings on my new users, before I changed the "Visual Effects" to "None".  Thing is, with my nfs users I already have VE turned to "none" :/
[22:31] <ikonia> matt2154: , no, I'm pretty confident it's your nfs home directory
[22:31] <ldleworker_> seidos bro : omg the live cd works!
[22:31] <ldleworker_> seidos bro : wtf?!?!?!?!
[22:31] <bro> ldleworker_, livecd always works
[22:31] <ikonia> ldleworker_: we know what wtf means and don't need to see it please
[22:32] <andyL> sebsebseb: i had that problem when i tried ubuntu during the version 8 and was told it was due to some issue with dri
[22:32] <sebsebseb> seidos: bro   see above at what  andyL   that could  be part of the problem,   since  Ubuntu 9.04 has some of the compiz  effects enabled by default
[22:32] <bro> ldleworker_, live cd runs on itself,
[22:32] <Zappo> Hi i have a problem with my Mic. it doesnt seen to want to work. does anyone know how to get it to work?
[22:32] <sebsebseb> at what andyL put
[22:32] <ldleworker_> bro : meaning the hardware wasn't burnt out
[22:32] <matt2154> ikonia: it certainly seems to be the common thread.  I've had NFS home dirs working for 10 years without a hiccup though, and I just did a full backup of this machine over NFS...  Everything is most definetely writable...
[22:32] <andyL> i hear video playback with nvidia is flawless
[22:32] <ldleworker_> bro seidos : So is there anything I can do from the LiveCD to "repair" my current installation or is the only option a format and reinstall?
[22:33] <seidos> ldleworker_: I'm tempted to say reinstall, but I don't know how to guide you through and install that doesn't involve repartitioning
[22:33] <sebsebseb> andyL: yes  Nivida is great that's what I have :)
[22:33] <ikonia> matt2154: I've had 25 machines working stable and 1 machine not stable in the past so no matter how good your config is, one client can be a problem
[22:33] <bro> ldleworker_, no, that graphical x error is specific, never related to hardware crashes
[22:33] <ikonia> matt2154: I feel you're pain
[22:33] <seidos> ldleworker_: I haven't done a live cd install since hardy heron
[22:33] <BlackFate> andyL, especially if you enable vdpau
[22:33] <ikonia> matt2154: maybe worth dropping back to non-x and logging in/out a lot seeing if you get any errors?
[22:33] <ldleworker_> seidos: I mean is there anyway to install "over" my current installation
[22:33] <andyL> ok i guess i'll stick with ubuntu in a VM
[22:33] <saji> Bye... everybody.. Good nght..
[22:33] <sebsebseb> andyL: hmm
[22:33] <sebsebseb> andyL: you had issues with 8.04 even?
[22:34] <andyL> yes
[22:34] <seidos> ldleworker_: do you have data on your system?  like documents/photos etc that need to be backed up?
[22:34] <ldleworker_> seidos: nah not really - all my code is in a repo
[22:34] <matt2154> ikonia: thanks, I do appreciate the effort (and the sympathy ;)
[22:34] <sebsebseb> andyL: I guess you should buy a Nivida card and start using that :)
[22:34] <seidos> ldleworker_: hahaha
[22:34] <sebsebseb> andyL: nothing to recant though
[22:34] <bro> ldleworker_, i don't see what you could do from live cd if you don't know what's the problem. i once used the live cd but i knew how to edit a file to repair my problem
[22:34] <jedc> ldleworker_, if you do reinstall, you might consider having your /home directory be a different partition than / , that way in the future you can reinstall over it and keep the same /home directory (settings and user data)
[22:35] <turbopirat> Hai, how can I print to a printer shared through a windows computer, using samba?
[22:35] <sebsebseb> !cups |  turbopirat
[22:35] <ldleworker_> Perhaps Ubuntu should think about a "System Restore" option or something?
[22:35]  * jimmy51_ votes that aethelrick is the most helpful person in the world today
[22:36] <aethelrick> jimmy51_: thanks :)
[22:36] <sebsebseb> jimmy51_: you can use  !cookie |  aethelrick
[22:36] <andyL> i might get the 9600gt
[22:36] <turbopirat> thanks, sebsebseb!
[22:36] <sebsebseb> turbopirat: np
[22:36] <bro> andyL, ATI drivers are bugy in 9.04 and 8.10 and even 8.04 i might say, intel and nvidia work well
[22:36] <jimmy51_> !cookie | aethelrick
[22:36] <jimmy51_> !cookie^2 | aethelrick
[22:36]  * aethelrick nom nom nom
[22:37] <sebsebseb> bro andyL  well  certain Intel graphic cards get issues with 9.04
[22:37] <sebsebseb> !intel |  bro andyL
[22:37] <andyL> nvidia seems to be the go to card for *nix Operating systems
[22:38] <bro> i'm just saying, ATI is the worst of those 3 as it seems
[22:38] <BlackFate> andyL, nahh
[22:38] <sebsebseb> andyL: Yep Nivida has  rather good Linux support,  their driver is closed source though, but ah well I guess in this case,   altough  the more opensource/freesoftware that people are using on their computer the better really
[22:39] <BlackFate> andyL, i prefer carnds with lower quality but with 100% working opensource drivers
[22:39] <ikonia> matt2154: long shot, but anything in the auth log ?
[22:39] <BlackFate> andyL, nvidia's drivers are not opensource
[22:39] <seidos> ldleworker_: do you use irssi?
[22:39] <ldleworker_> seidos: Sometimes - using xchat right now
[22:39] <P_Kable> I need a command to change file extension on multiple files from *.nzp to *.bzp
[22:40] <hepmemassa> hi
[22:40] <P_Kable> any idea ?
[22:40] <aethelrick> BlackFate: I prefer an open source driver when I can get one... but nvidia are the most pain free when it comes to 3D on linux
[22:40] <andyL> i currently have a radeon 4870 card in my system

[22:43] <hepmemassa> anyone like the berrics?
[22:43] <sebsebseb> protos_: Did you install a graphics card driver?
[22:43] <jedc> P_Kable, it looks like rename can do it as well, but I dont know perl regular expressions
[22:44] <hepmemassa> Flashplayer 10... ANYONE?
[22:44] <gsp2009> protos_, have you tried to reconfigure x?
[22:44] <ldleworker_>  /kick hepmemassa
[22:44] <protos_> erUSUL, you mean xfix?
[22:44] <hepmemassa> why? i just need help with my flashplayer 10
[22:44] <erUSUL> protos_: yes
[22:45] <IdleOne> hepmemassa: the video's play fine for me
[22:45] <Lysi> Hi, does anyone know howto login with openid from launchpad to ubuntuforums.org?
[22:45] <hepmemassa> idleone: on theberrics.com?
[22:45] <IdleOne> ldleworker_: please don't ask for people to be kicked if they havent done anything wrong
[22:45] <IdleOne> hepmemassa: yes
[22:45] <IdleOne> !flash | hepmemassa
[22:46] <ubuntuu> !list
[22:46] <ldleworker_> IdleOne: it was actually a misclick
[22:46] <hepmemassa> idleone: i have installed the flashplugin-nonfree and all kinds of stuff, cannot get the videos to play
[22:46] <protos_> erUSUL, it just goes to a black screen to which it pauses for like 2 seconds, then displays "cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.20090916...': Read-only file system" and then it goes back to Recovery Menu. How do I enable write?
[22:47] <IdleOne> hepmemassa: not sure why but they play fine here
[22:47] <hepmemassa> idleone: i either get a plain white background where the videos are, or i get an error "the video is unavailable at this time" been getting this error for weeks
[22:47] <jedc> P_Kable, try: "rename -v 's/\.nzp$/\.bzp/' *.nzp" i got it from http://www.go2linux.org/rename-bulk-files-with-linux-console-command
[22:47] <erUSUL> protos_: your fileystem is busted. try to fsck it from a livecd (with gparted or manually)
[22:47] <P_Kable> jedc: prename 's/nzp$/bzp/' *.nzp worked just thnx anyway
[22:48] <jedc> P_Kable, oh cool then
[22:48]  * ldleworker_ thinks a neat T-Shirt would be something like "oh fsck me" with a small graphic of a HDD with smoke comming out.
[22:49]  * erUSUL nods
[22:49] <koko> ?
[22:49] <ldleworker_> ?
[22:49] <protos_> erUSUL, how would I fsck it from a LiveCD?
[22:49]  * jMyles agrees with ldleworker_.  Acat (hot Ubuntu user with whom I happen to be in love) and I will both wear it.  :-)
[22:50] <protos_> I don't see gparted
[22:50] <xmnt> hotwire - you gotta be kidding
[22:50] <erUSUL> protos_: with gparted or manually ie calling e2fsck from command line
[22:50] <erUSUL> protos_: you can install it
[22:52] <Veinor> How's the wireless support for a dell 1510 card?
[22:53] <erUSUL> Veinor: can you specify what card does that laptop has ? (chip)
[22:53] <Veinor> that's the card
[22:53] <mneptok> Veinor: who makes the chipset?
[22:53] <mneptok> Veinor: (Dell does not)
[22:53] <Veinor> looks like broadcom
[22:53] <erUSUL> Veinor: do you have it installed on you machine right now ?
[22:53] <mneptok> 43xx series?
[22:54] <xmnt> Veinor, my mom has the same chipset ... works fine after restricted drivers get installed
[22:54] <Wicked> is there a place that lists what will be new in the next release of ubuntu?
[22:54] <Veinor> erUSUL: no, I ask because I'm thinking of swapping in the current wireless card in my 1005ha for one of those
[22:54] <protos_> my Dell 1520 worked without any problems on Ubuntu 9.04
[22:54] <xmnt> Wicked, #ubuntu+1
[22:55] <Veinor> hm, dell is not making it easy to find the chipset
[22:55] <Veinor> but yeah
[22:55] <Veinor> I'm just having issues with intermittent signal problems on my current card
[22:56] <Veinor> (AR9285)
[22:57] <BlakHat_> hi guyz, im tryna recompile "linux-restricted-drivers" and just need to find out what an abi_version is and how i can find it for my kernel. does anyone know?
[22:57] <Veinor> eh, they're fairly intermittent
[22:57] <xmnt> Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
[22:57] <monostone> I might be having trouble with my linux software RAID. My box wasn't booting (it was hanging just before grub), so a quick look through logs gave me this output: http://pastebin.com/d2e55867e (I've added relevant ouput from mdadm as well)?
[22:57] <Veinor> yeah, BCM43xx is pretty good in terms of linux support right?
[22:58] <xmnt> it's better than most
[22:58] <ikonia> BlakHat_: the restricted extras are normally closed source
[22:58] <erUSUL> Veinor: you have to install b43-fwcutter
[22:58] <Veinor> erUSUL: there aren't restricteds?
[22:58] <erUSUL> Veinor: while connected to internet (so it can grab the firmware) so you need a wired connection for a few minutes
[22:58] <mgv1> hello, can you tell me how can i secure cds when burning them? anything for that?
[22:58] <erUSUL> Veinor: no afaik
[22:59] <mgv1> what is the difference between cdrom and cdrom1?
[22:59] <^Einstein> mgv1: encrypt them?
[22:59] <xmnt> Veinor, i have atheros on mine and I love it - some will say different
[22:59] <BlakHat_> ikonia theres a tutorial here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomRestrictedModules which im following to compile them
[22:59] <Veinor> xmnt: It's been fairly good to me so far
 how?
[22:59] <Veinor> I just have intermittent signal issues.
[22:59] <^Einstein> In the past week I've had two instances of some daemon crashing (I suspect) after which my ssh key passphrases and such are not automatically found for me. /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login is still running. Logging in again does not solve the problem; I am forced to reboot, after which it works fine. The problem has recurred. Any suggestions?
[22:59] <monostone> I can't even be sure if the problem actually lies in the RAID, because despite the error message, all output from mdadm seems correct
[22:59] <^Einstein> mgv1: encrypt your files before burning them,
[23:00] <xmnt> ^Einstein, strace is a good start
 how to to that?
[23:00] <^Einstein> mgv1: zip will provide basic encryption if you specify a password.
[23:00] <Veinor> I might get one anyway, try them both and see what's better.
 how to zip encrypt?
 there is anything easier and better?
[23:01] <erUSUL> mgv1: if you want to encryot file before burning them use "gpg -c" is far stronger that what zip provides
[23:01] <federica> #spelljammer
[23:01] <xmnt> mgv1, right click on file >> encrypt
 with a password or with a key?
 what is gpg -c? is it a command?
[23:02] <InvisibleMan> I installed Xubuntu using the Jaunty Ubuntu network boot.  It installed without any problems, however it won't boot.  The first time I tried, it lagged for 10 minutes at 15%, then again at 75%, and finally stopped completely after going to a black screen where it mentioned a lot of segmentation faults and a few other errors.  When I boot the machine, it eventually gets to a black screen with a bunch of loading text.  It gets
[23:03] <shruggar> can anyone recommend an ecrypting filesystem? I would like my computer to boot normally, but for my home directory to be encrypted so that if you don't log in, you can't access the files (things like email passwords and work-related stuff)
[23:03] <ahujasaurabh> hi
[23:03] <xmnt> shruggar, truecrypt
[23:03] <erUSUL> mgv1: yes is a command
[23:04] <shruggar> xmnt, doesn't truecrypt not qualify for the "boot normally" part? I thought it required a password before the system would boot at all?
[23:04] <n8tuser> shruggar-> there is the encfs   to encrypt only specific directory if you wish, off course it apples to your home dir too
[23:04] <xmnt> shruggar, what would be the point of encrypting it then?
[23:04] <ahujasaurabh> do anybody have tutorial for gimp small and fast learning
 so i will try right click and create keys, there is a way to use just passwords? what if i've moltiply number of files?
[23:05] <ahujasaurabh> i need to make a design on gimp within 2 days
[23:05] <shruggar> xmnt: I want the home directory to be encrypted, not the entire system, is my point
[23:06] <shruggar> n8tuser, I was just looking at encfs, it seemed like it was just transparent per-file encryptiong, not encryption of the filesystem itself?
[23:06] <xmnt> shruggar, see this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-288919.html
[23:07] <n8tuser> shruggar-> you can encrypt an entire directory within your /home/username/  and only that subdir is encrypted

[23:23] <akn> I cant get youtube video's to work... any suggestions??
[23:23] <alokito> mgv1: hmm I don't use gnome, but i think u'll find it in gnome-control-center
[23:23] <Irving> but ubuntu is already here
[23:23] <qwerkus> erUSUL: yes, but each time I leave the config screen, it sets my default gw pack to 0.0.0.0 !??
[23:23] <Barnabas> obiwan__, I used to have a lappie with broadcom - running Ubuntu 8.10
[23:23] <Irving> from what I read it is easier to just format, install XP, then ubuntu
[23:23] <Barnabas> worked fine
[23:23] <Flannel> Irving: If you don't want to do that, you can install windows, and then reinstall GRUB
[23:23] <alokito> Irving: boot from ubuntu live cd after installing xp
[23:23] <erUSUL> qwerkus: then i dunno... NM is magic for me as long as it works...
 but it's like every click on the pad is like a right click. there is a need for a better driver
[23:24] <alokito> then run sudo update grub
[23:24] <qwerkus>  Irving: nope, you can install xp, override your mbr and than hack the xp loader
[23:24] <Irving> is that very difficult alokit
[23:24] <Irving> *aloktio
[23:24] <alokito> sudo update-grub
[23:24] <Flannel> !grub | Irving
[23:24] <alokito> Irving: not at all
[23:24] <akn> Trying to get youtube video's to work on ubuntu any suggestions?/
[23:24] <alokito> I do it all the time
[23:24] <Flannel> Irving: the first link walks you through replacing GRUB
[23:24] <qwerkus> Irving: checkout the gentoo install page if your interested into the xp hack option ...
[23:24] <Irving> thats all you have to do is sudo update-grub
[23:24] <alokito> yup
[23:24] <clayg> is there a better ubuntu app for blogging than drivel?
[23:24] <Barnabas> Irving, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ is good guide
[23:25] <Irving> ok ty, alokito and barnabas
[23:25] <Barnabas> you actually only have to ask grub to rewrite the boot loader
[23:25] <qwerkus> Irving: I did it on all my machines: it saves the grub reinstall step each time you reinstall xp crap
[23:25] <Barnabas> something ms seems to think they have the patent to use
[23:25] <Irving> two more things then
[23:25] <qwerkus> Irving: takes 2min and a removable device
[23:25] <Irving> (i didnt look at guide yet)
[23:25] <alokito> Irving: if that doesn't work then sudo grub -> find /boot/grub/stage1 -> root (hd0,0) -> setup (hd0) where (hd0,0) is the ubuntu partition path
[23:26] <ChaLe> does anybody have Dialect applet for AWN
[23:26] <Irving> any steps i need to take when installing XP to ensure i don't screw up ubuntu, besides just making sure its being installed on the correct partitions?
[23:26] <BWARG> questiopn!!!
[23:26] <alokito> Irving: installing xp will replace ubuntu grub no matter what u do
[23:27] <Argos> hey
[23:27] <Argos> wsup all
[23:27] <Irving> but will my install of ubuntu still be ok
[23:27] <Irving> as long as i get the correct partition, do in need to do anything differetn
[23:27] <BWARG> where can i download the 9.10 version of ubuntu... ithink its called karmic something
[23:27] <qwerkus>  alokito: do you know who's in charge for boot process in ubuntu ? I would really like to have a win-xp-auto-hack intall. Why bother with grub on every mbr ?
[23:27] <Barnabas> Irving, the guide I sent explains how to boot load windows from grub
[23:27] <alokito> Irving: yes ubuntu partition will be unharmed if xp installer doesn't use it
[23:27] <Irving> ok
[23:27] <erUSUL> !karmic | BWARG
[23:27] <BWARG> ?
[23:28] <BWARG> is there a version i can bug test available?
[23:28] <alokito> qwerkus: hacking xp is illegal I think
[23:28] <erUSUL> BWARG: yes ask in #ubuntu+1
[23:28] <Flannel> BWARG: Yes.  It's alpha software, #ubuntu+1 can tell you all about it.
[23:28] <BWARG> thank you

[23:42] <qwerkus> Seven_Six_Two: as of me, flash is never of. Sometimes it is better, with new firefox version. Sometimes it gets worse. But it basically eats way too much cpu on all my machines...

[23:45] <Barnabas> monostone, mirror - then yes provided the bad superblock is not due to hw failure
[23:45] <qwerkus> erUSUL: can you play 2 flahs anims at the same time ?
[23:45] <boscop> is ubuntu-studio a whole new distro, not a program?
[23:45] <navetz> qwerkus: 9.04   It worked fine before I upgraded from 8.04. I am finding other people have this issue as well
[23:45] <monostone> Barnabas, the fact is that my box stopped booting, here you can see the relevant info: http://pastebin.com/d2e55867e. Im not quite sure how to proceed

[23:46] <erUSUL> boscop: is a metapackage that installa bunch of other packages that tewk the distro

[23:47] <Barnabas> monostone, provided the other disk is OK you should be able to nuke the faulty one and let the system replicate ?

[23:47] <Barnabas> might take a while
[23:48] <qwerkus>  navetz: no. Provided with the kernel.

[23:48] <commander_> i love the new themes from ubuntu manual
[23:48] <jcp> You know, I can't remember. I'll try that.

[23:49] <Barnabas> monostone, if you are confident your hw is ok
[23:49] <qwerkus> navetz: must be under 'otptions' or preference. Not sure because I have a german sys
[23:49] <hepmemassa> Does anyone know anything about flashplayer 10 error messages?
[23:50] <Barnabas> monostone, and the bad superblock is not bad due to dead disk
[23:50] <jrib> hepmemassa: assume the answer is yes and proceed...
[23:50] <navetz> qwerkus: hum I have the options of, alsa - pulseaudio - and esound
[23:50] <qwerkus> erUSUL: how much did you pay for an X2 proc ?
[23:50] <monostone> Barnabas, would fsck detect that?
[23:50] <Barnabas> not really fsck is running on a file system level
[23:50] <darim> I'm having trouble with virt-manager.  how can I backup a vm in ubuntu 9.04, then start it up as a clone?
[23:50] <erUSUL> qwerkus: back in the day? around 100€ do not remeber exactly
[23:51] <qwerkus>  navetz: you sure you can't switch between alsa mixer and oss mixer ?
[23:51] <hepmemassa> i am trying to view videos on theberrics.com and it keeps saying "The video you are trying to watch is unavailable. Check back soon" it has been saying this for weeks. I've tried open source flashplayers, regular flashplayers, updating... everything
[23:51] <qwerkus> erUSUL: that's quite reasonable. I might consider an upgrade after all ...
[23:51] <jrib> hepmemassa: do other sites work?
[23:51] <erUSUL> hepmemassa: that's an error msg from the site not from flashplayer

[23:52] <erUSUL> qwerkus: the only X2  aviable today cost 60 € ( 5200+)
[23:52] <Barnabas> monostone, try smartctl to query the disks internal log
[23:52] <hepmemassa> erusul: thanks, i just can't figure out why numerous other people can play the video and i can't :(
[23:52] <Barnabas> monostone, provided the disks are "smart" compatible
[23:52] <g_giulio> sd card bus
[23:52] <Barnabas> if there is a hw issue it will tell
[23:53] <monostone> Barnabas, let me check
[23:53] <qwerkus> erUSUL: poor world. Another few years, an Intel will totally own the place...
[23:54] <navetz> qwerkus: yea, is there any way to restart my sound?
[23:54] <qwerkus> g_giulio: cardbus are very tricky under linux: either your lucky and the system finds your cardbus, or your really stuck
[23:54] <Blizzerand> !sound
[23:54] <navetz> qwerkus: or alsa
[23:55] <boscop> erUSUL, I saw some videos about lmms. looks really cool
[23:55] <monostone> Barnabas, well it seems they are (based on bios info on boot) , but i don't have smartctl installed
[23:56] <erUSUL> boscop: :)
[23:57] <Barnabas> monostone, you may be able to tell in other ways, but I usually rely on smart
[23:57] <Barnabas> since it connects directly to the disk and queries the firmware
[23:57] <qwerkus> navetz: you served ! the ubottu link seems nice
[23:58] <FromTheInside> lol
[23:58] <FromTheInside> bonjour
