[00:00] <afallenhope> so nothing eh?
[00:01] <george> hi i was wondering if someone could help me im trying to figure out how to chage the vebose color in booting jaunty
[00:02] <kewl1> ok ubottu, but i didn´t lost grub after windows install...it happened after a upgrade system ! ;)
[00:03] <purpzey> jrib: I went to do the update and my Update Manager doesn't offer me the option "A new release is available" is there a way to do it from CLI manually?
[00:03] <jrib> purpzey: what are you upgrading to?
[00:04] <purpzey> jrib: From 8.04
[00:04] <kewl1> purpzey: tape     sudo update-manager -d
[00:04] <jrib> purpzey: on LTS I believe the option to ignore non-LTS releases is enabled by default, check options
[00:05] <Flannel> kewl1: -d is wrong, that'd be for development releases
[00:05] <kewl1> purpzey: the comment -d is to Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible
[00:06] <Flannel> purpzey: For software sources, theres another tab where you can discuss LTS vs every release.  Or you can edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[00:06] <Strife89> Hmm, my graphics card is giving me some weird textures. Look at the ceiling and floor in the distance in the screenshot. Does anyone know what's going on? I have an ATI Radeon graphics set in a Toshiba Satellite laptop. This happens in Armagentron Advanced, too, and in both games the framerate is poor, whereas in Windows many games run at great speeds. http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-SuperTuxKart.png
[00:07] <purpzey> Flannel and kewl1 I just want the button to appear that will tell me a new distro is available click to upgrade so I can upgrade without losing my data.
[00:07] <kewl1> Flannel: ok..i was wrong
[00:07] <kewl1> purpzey:
[00:07] <agliodbs> I'm consistently getting some strange behaviors on my ubuntu box, and I'd like some help on where to look for issues.  (1) the network keeps resetting every 24 hours, and flipping to DHCP instead of the settings in /etc/interfaces.  (2) visudo crashes the terminal 50% of the time.
[00:07] <Flannel> purpzey: You need to either change your preferences to tell you of all releases throgh software sources, or edit that file
[00:07] <kewl1> purpzey:  did you make you data backup?
[00:07] <purpzey> Flannel: Where are the preferences?
[00:08] <purpzey> kewl1: My important data is backed up but I would prefer to do it without losing my applications and things of that nature.
[00:08] <kewl1> ok
[00:08] <Flannel> purpzey: There's another tab under software sources, or software properties, or whatever that menu item is named in Hardy, let me look
[00:08] <Sun3vi1> I have been experiencing unusual behaiour on my box. Any help?
[00:08] <Flannel> purpzey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades will walk you through upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: do you have network manager installed. It may be causing issues if you use the interfaces file, You can disable it with bum
[00:09] <jrib> Sun3vi1: you need to be a bit more specific for anyone to actually help you I imagine
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> !ask | Sun3vi1
[00:09] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: how do I tell?
[00:09] <kewl1> purpzey: what happen when you type update-manager -d?
[00:09] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: (this is a headless machine)
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: ps -ef | grep netw
[00:09] <purpzey> Flannel: Ok, thanks. I found the option, btw. Appreciate your help and thanks to you kewl1
[00:09] <purpzey> and thanks jrib
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: ah, then it most likely wont be unless you are running an x server for some reson
[00:10] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: nothing
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: try: ps -ef | grep nm
[00:11] <Sun3vi1> I am using a system running Hardy LTS with 256mb of RAM. When I first start it, the fan spins at full speed and runs the battery down right away, but if I put it in standby and wake it up again, the fan cycles down and runs at normal speed and increases speed only when under demand. Is there a solution?
[00:11] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: just nmbd
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: cool, not sure then very strange
[00:12] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: I did install some security updates yesterday, so it's possibel that the network wonkyness isn't completely spontaneous
[00:12] <x_dimitri> My dvd writer can't write CDs/DVDs anymore. dmesg shows the following when I insert a blank CD/DVD: http://paste.ubuntu.com/277481/
[00:12] <x_dimitri> Any idea what the problem could be?
[00:12] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: I really can't figure out visudo though
[00:12] <Sun3vi1> This behaviour is not normal because it never acted this way when running windows. Granted, windows had more specific drivers
[00:12] <losher> agliodbs: ActionParsnip: my first guess would be you have dhcpclient running and periodically it's redoing its lease...
[00:13] <agliodbs> losher: checking
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> losher: possibly
[00:13] <afallenhope> hmmm.. who here actually knows about compiling and has a strong linux background that can help me out
[00:13] <agliodbs> losher: yeah, the client's running
[00:13] <agliodbs> losher: how do I kill it permanently?
[00:13] <Maritim> afallenhope: what's wrong?
[00:14] <kewl1> purpzey: did work?
[00:14] <losher> agliodbs: and what's in your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[00:14] <kewl1> losher: can you help me with some issues?
[00:14] <agliodbs> losher: paste site, moment
[00:14] <afallenhope> Maritim, when I compile modules everything seems to be fine but when I do make install it installs to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10/extra rather than /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/extra
[00:15] <afallenhope> When I do a uname -r it says 2.6.28-15-generic
[00:15] <Maritim> and you are compiling 2.6.28-15-generic, not 2.6.28.10?
[00:15] <agliodbs> http://ubuntu.privatepaste.com/2004zhLzb7
[00:15] <losher> kewl1: if its about your update issue above, I dunno much about it...
[00:15] <afallenhope> Maritim, from what I know yes. I'm trying to compile the avld and rt73 module
[00:15] <Strife89> What's a quick way to find out the name of my graphics card?
[00:16] <kewl1> losher: :(
[00:16] <se7vn> lspci
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> !boot | agliodbs
[00:16] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?
[00:16] <x_dimitri> My dvd writer can't write CDs/DVDs anymore. dmesg shows the following when I insert a blank CD/DVD: http://paste.ubuntu.com/277481/
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: you can remove it with that
[00:16] <afallenhope> Strife89, lspci | grep -i vga
[00:16] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: yeah, dhcpclient isn't a boot srcipt, though
[00:16] <Maritim> afallenhope: so you downloaded the source code for 2.6.28-15-generic, extracted it, configured and compiled?
[00:17] <Strife89> afallenhope: Thanks. :)
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> agliodbs: it should be in the init at some point though
[00:17] <benedikt> I need a quick confirmation. update-manager crashed during an upgrade to karmic, it had replaced sources.list without making a backup anc replaced /etc/issued and /etc/lsb-release so do-release upgrade didnt want to do anything either.
[00:18] <benedikt> but isnt it enough to change jaunty to karmic in sources.list like you would do in debia
[00:18] <benedikt> debian*
[00:18] <Sun3vi1> hello? I am not getting a response
[00:18] <afallenhope> Maritim, did sudo apt-get install linux-source && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[00:18] <Guest76035> Hey guys, i have a question, is there a way to make ssh ask for a passphrase everytime i ssh into a ubuntu machine?
[00:18] <Biovore> benedikt: people keep telling me that.. but every time I have done it.. its worked just fine here...
[00:19] <benedikt> Guest76035: if you are using a privte key with a passphrase then yes.
[00:19] <Biovore> maybe I ma just special..
[00:19] <Maritim> afallenhope: sounds like the linux-source package in the repo is the wrong version ;)
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> benedikt: no you must upgrade properly
[00:19] <agliodbs> ActionParsnip: yeah, just not sure where to find it
[00:19] <Guest76035> I do have a private key and passphrase setup on ubuntu
[00:19] <benedikt> Biovore: works fine to do it the debian way you mean?
[00:19] <agliodbs> losher: anything I should change about /etc/interfaces?
[00:19] <Maritim> afallenhope: I'd rather go grab it from www.kernel.org
[00:19] <benedikt> ActionParsnip: whats the difference?
[00:19] <Biovore> benedikt: yup..  they say you shouldn't..
[00:19] <afallenhope> so should I sudo apt-get purge linux-source?
[00:20] <Guest76035> But when I ssh to the ubuntu through my mac it logs in correctly, i then logout again. But when I ssh again, i t doesn't ask for a passphrase again.
[00:20] <Guest76035> i'm trying to get sshd ask a passphrase everytime I try to attempt a conenction to my ubuntu box
[00:20] <Guest76035> :)
[00:20] <Maritim> afallenhope: yeah, get rid of it and do it from scratch instead, with the source from kernel.org
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> benedikt: one will give you a proper upgrade, one doesnt
[00:21] <afallenhope> Maritim, it's the right version I can't find the version I'm running on the site
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> benedikt: run: sudo do-release-upgrade  -d
[00:21] <thepoet> anybody know why tcp connections would be blocked on PORT 49014?
[00:21] <benedikt> ActionParsnip: define "proper" upgrade? What does update-manager do that apt-get wouldnt do? update-manager krashed somewhere after finsihed downloading the packages do it did everything before that
[00:21] <Guest75955> is there a web editor for ubuntu someone for free
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> benedikt: there is a program called upgrade-manager to do that sort of thing. If thats all it took there would be no need for the app.
[00:21] <benedikt> ActionParsnip: it wont do anything since /etc/issue and lsb-release already got replaced
[00:21] <Maritim> afallenhope: 2.6.28-15? Not on the site?
[00:22] <wrst> Guest75955: give kompozer a try if you wanta  wysiwyg editor
[00:22] <afallenhope> Maritim, not that i could find
[00:22] <Guest75955> thanks
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> benedikt: there is a page on the wiki outlining how to upgrade. I suggest you read it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[00:22] <Guest76035> anyone have any ideas on my ssh question? :)
[00:22] <benedikt> ActionParsnip: ok I will.
[00:23] <dracnoc> Right, I'm off to bed. Remember folks, no matter where you go or what you do, you'll be there and it will be your fault. Take it easy...
[00:23] <Maritim> afallenhope: hmm.. then I don't know :(
[00:23] <afallenhope> Maritim, what about a config file?
[00:24] <losher> agliodbs: your interfaces file looks fine. The networking stuff is such a convoluted mess though. What's in your /etc/network/if* directories?
[00:24] <reesle> Im having trouble installing ubuntu.. Grub keeps failing to install and this is not the first distro to fail arch linux failed as well with Grub
[00:24] <GnDrMn> I am using a system running Hardy LTS with 256mb of RAM. When I first start it, the fan spins at full speed and runs the battery down right away, but if I put it in standby and wake it up again, the fan cycles down and runs at normal speed and increases speed only when under demand. Is there a solution?
[00:25] <agliodbs> if-up.d, if-pre-up.d, if-down.d, if-post-down.d
[00:25] <sebsebseb> reesle: Ubuntu to ArchLinux now that's a big jump
[00:25] <sebsebseb> !grub |  reesle
[00:25] <losher> agliodbs: list them again please, using ls -R
[00:26] <losher> reesle: something unusual about your boot setup you haven't told us yet?
[00:26] <agliodbs> losher: http://ubuntu.privatepaste.com/45tWcOjCzg
[00:27] <Maritim> afallenhope: aren't those modules available in one of the repos?
[00:27] <reesle> no nothing that i know of Oh sorry i am trying to dual boot with Win 7 and a day ago Win vista (just upgraded)
[00:27] <losher> agliodbs: I'm wondering what's in dhclient3-apparmor?
[00:28] <afallenhope> maritim no.
[00:28] <bobertdos> GnDrMn: You might want to check the visual effects settings. If Compiz is running at all (meaning the effects are set to at least normal) that could be consuming your CPU and GPU.
[00:28] <Maritim> afallenhope: what are they called?
[00:28] <afallenhope> rt73 and avld
[00:29] <agliodbs> losher: it doesn't appear to start dhclient
[00:29] <Itkovian> Does one still need to set  CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND  or is CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND suficient with the latest xen-enables kernel (2.6.31-rc9+patches) ?
[00:29] <agliodbs> losher: just launch apparmor before the rest of the network if apparmor is loaded and has a dhclient profile
[00:30] <afallenhope> I install all the kernels that I have installed. gonna try that brb
[00:30] <Maritim> afallenhope: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236
[00:30] <reesle> if i go into the grub prompt on the live cd and type in root i get a Error 11: Unrecognized device string
[00:30] <losher> agliodbs: which os version, btw?
[00:30] <bobertdos> !pm > GnDrMn
[00:30] <agliodbs> losher: Jaunty
[00:31] <agliodbs> losher: as of last week
[00:31] <afallenhope> Maritim, yeah that's old
[00:31] <afallenhope> lo.
[00:31] <Maritim> afallenhope: rt73 is in one of the repos, I just did an apt-cache search rt73, and I found rt73-common and rt73-source
[00:31] <losher> agliodbs: does this problem predate jaunty?
[00:31] <yoyo> bonsoir
[00:31] <afallenhope> it's old
[00:31] <afallenhope> lol.
[00:31] <agliodbs> oh, sorry, I meant last week's download
[00:31] <agliodbs> losher: it's a new system
[00:31] <agliodbs> only been up 3 days
[00:31] <Maritim> afallenhope: meaning it won't work for you? can't blame a man for trying, very well
[00:32] <losher> agliodbs: I may have reached the limit of being able to diagnose your issue, since I'm running hardy here...
[00:32] <RaviResck> !flash
[00:32] <bobertdos> GnDrMn: Even so, have you checked CPU usage when you've first started up?
[00:32] <agliodbs> losher: I doubt it's anything simple
[00:32] <agliodbs> losher: I'll see if it reoccurs when I'm done installing stuff
[00:32] <agliodbs> losher: thanks for suggestions
[00:32] <losher> agliodbs: when all else fails, start googling :-)
[00:33] <agliodbs> losher: oh, I did that first
[00:33] <GnDrMn> yes and it falls to about 15 to 25 percent
[00:33] <shawn_> If in my Mobo manual it says this "Does not support DDR2-800 in 1GB mode" does that mean that any RAM that I put in over 1 GB cant be 800 Mhz speed?
[00:33] <mezquitale> I am planning on trying out karmic alpha 6 on my desktop, anyone knows if I'll be able to upgrade to the official karmic version once it is released???
[00:34] <toni> soy nuebo
[00:34] <toni> hola a todos
[00:34] <losher> !es | toni
[00:34] <agliodbs> so, questons for a headless machine:  (1) is there a network manager which doesn't require X, and (2) is there a startup script manager which doesn't require X?
[00:34] <mezquitale> shawn_, no, it sounds like it's the other way around
[00:35] <shawn_> What do you mean?
[00:35] <GnDrMn> bobertdos: Yes it falls to about 15 to 25 percent of the capacity
[00:35] <reesle> Anyone have any suggestions i have googled around but it seems that no one has really solved this problem
[00:35] <bobertdos> GnDrMn: Well, I'd still give it a shot, because you know, standby is directly related to the graphics drivers.
[00:35] <mezquitale> shawn_, 32 bit OS can handle up to 2GB, 64 bit OS can handle more than 2GB, I had to install ubuntu 64 bit to take advantage of my 4 gigs of memory
[00:36] <shawn_> mezquitale I have Ubuntu 64 bit
[00:36] <losher> reesle: which os version, btw?
[00:36] <GnDrMn> bobertdos: Could a graphics driver update or even an upgrade to 9.04 help?
[00:36] <alokito> how to play dvd movie iso in karmic?
[00:36] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?
[00:36] <reesle> the latest stable 9.04
[00:36] <alokito> totem can play the mounted iso but no sound
[00:36] <reesle> 64bit
[00:37] <DasEi> mezquitale: 32 up to 4 including graphics
[00:37] <mezquitale> shawn_, it looks like your mobo doesn't support 1GB sticks, it should be able to support more than 1 GB
[00:37] <losher> reesle: try 8.04 32 bit next....
[00:37] <BCM43> Is there anything like this: http://www.crossloop.com/ for linux? I need to log in to the computer of a person who is not technical enough to setup port forwarding.
[00:37] <reesle> alright
[00:37] <reesle> thnx
[00:38] <mezquitale> DasEi, my mistake, a 32 bit OS can handle 2^32 ~ 4 GB of memory
[00:38] <shawn_> mezquitale What it said was that it runs 256 MB sticks in 256 mode and 512 MB sticks in either 512 mode or 1GB mode and then it runs 1 GB sticks in 1 GB mode and then underneath it said that other thing I said
[00:38] <trism> BCM43: you can use System/Preferences/Remote Desktop and connect to it from any VNC viewer
[00:39] <mezquitale> shawn_, did you build your own system?
[00:39] <shawn_> mezquitale No
[00:39] <bobertdos> GnDrMn: Possibly, yes. Another thing to try (I'm thinking in terms of your relatively low RAM) would be a less sohisticated desktop environment like xcfe or flubox.
[00:39] <Darkebrz> Hi, I just have a pretty simple question. I know where my Windows partition is, but how do I access it through the file browser? (I know how to get to it with the terminal)
[00:39] <BCM43> trism: only if I am in the network, not if there is a router between us.
[00:40] <Fohn> darkebrz: Nautilus should list it as something like '[size of drive]" media
[00:40] <DasEi> mezquitale: ;-) don't take irc too serious http://paste.ubuntu.com/277492/
[00:41] <Fohn> darkebrz: if you just click on 'places' it will most likely be located directly beneath 'computer'
[00:41] <GnDrMn> bobertdos: Ok, but I still do not understand why the situation would disappear the second the system is put into and taken out of standby. One other issue that i have been having is that when I use the function keys on my system to change screen brightness, the mouse disappears
[00:41] <Darkebrz> Fohn, Directly beneath that is 7.5 GB Media ._.
[00:42] <Angel> alguien sabe como ingresar a una pc que tiene clave en grub?
[00:42] <shawn_> mezquitale: http://pastebin.com/m390c6513 thats a cut out of my manual of what Im talking about
[00:42] <Fohn> darkebrz: How big is your windows partition?

[00:42] <mezquitale> DasEi, LoL I dont take it that serious but as ubuntu channel's official support you might want to get all facts straight
[00:42] <qq99> I have a weird issue: I can move windows with Alt+leftclick, but cannot resize them with alt+rightclick.... tried fooling in compiz settings manager to no gain :( anyone have a resolution?
[00:42] <Darkebrz> Fohn, Well, my Ubuntu one is about 30 GB, so it is probably around 180 GB
[00:42] <Raiders32> how can you get rythymbox to play mp3 files on a Creative Zen?
[00:42] <queso_> What happened to the right-click "View Image" option in Firefox?
[00:43] <DasEi> mezquitale: my speech, lool
[00:43] <mezquitale> shawn_, I'm not too experienced in these sort of issues but it looks like you can have 512 megs running @ 800  but 1GB stick will not run @ 800, it will run at a lower speed
[00:44] <bobertdos> Darkebr: Let's ask it this way...How do you get to it in the terminal?
[00:44] <shawn_> mezquitale I just dont understand why I have 2 strips that are 1 GB and 667 and two that are 2GB and 800 but it only shows that I have 3.2 GB of RAM on 64 Ubuntu
[00:45] <henryfranz2005> I need help my toolbars are all gone, but the icons are still there. What happened?
[00:45] <dabukalam> hey i have a windows partition that i wanna boot in a VM in ubuntu. What's the best way of doing this. I want to be able to boot into it normally as well...
[00:45] <Fohn> darkebrz: If you know the location of the partition in terminal and can cd there that way, just type 'nautilus [location]' to open it in nautilus
[00:45] <datta> sypnetic is giving me a hard time

[00:46] <datta> i didn't flood, just pasted it and this came up in different lines
[00:46] <mezquitale> shawn_, you mixed memory modules in your mobo? rofl
[00:46] <henryfranz2005> I need help my toolbars are all gone, but the icons are still there. What happened?
[00:46] <shawn_> ozzmannt It shows it in the Bios just not once I boot up
[00:46] <shawn_> mezquitale Well I have the two 2GB ones in the same channel and then the two 1 GB ones in a different channel
[00:46] <zaius> is there a way to install a jdk without x11-common?
[00:46] <datta> i think in the error is says something went wrong with pidgin update which i was trying to do

[00:47] <susbwoy> Hi, running ubuntu 9.04 -just curious as to how ubuntu can stop mounting my windows partition? I'm able to mount it at boot with an entry into /etc/fstab, but before it was working on install...? Could this occur when updating/kernel upgrades?
[00:47] <se7vn> henry , you mean your window borders are all gone?
[00:47] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default.

How can I make these changes persistent?
[00:47] <datta> http://paste.ubuntu.com/277495/ this is the error that i got
[00:48] <GnDrMn> susbwoy: Insure that you did not hibernate windows before trying to mount the windows partition
[00:48] <datta> please check this, this happens to me a lot of time with my list of software sources
[00:48] <mezquitale> shawn_,  are they all rated for the same speed though??
[00:48] <shawn_> mezquitale Two of them are 667 and two are 800
[00:48] <Fohn> datta: It looks like you have your repositories listed with improper syntax. I am unfortunately not very experienced with synaptic.
[00:48] <shawn_> mezquitale But when I bought the 800 the package said they are compatible with 667 and 533 as well or something
[00:49] <datta> Fohn: so you don't know how to fix this?
[00:49] <DasEi> susbwoy: hal is doing that, and it can alter through a new kernel
[00:49] <DasEi> !hal
[00:49] <Fohn> datta: I would recommend reviewing your repository list to make sure they all have the proper syntax.
[00:49] <ozzmannt> shawn: RAM speeds are always backwards compat so that shouldn't be the problem
[00:49] <henryfranz2005> please help people
[00:50] <henryfranz2005> I need to see my toolbar.
[00:50] <datta> Fohn: where is the list of represetory
[00:50] <purpzey> datta: There are instructions for upgrading pidgin on the pidgin website @: http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/
[00:50] <ozzmannt> shawn: have you tried any other OSs?
[00:50] <susbwoy> DasEi: thanks
[00:50] <razor_X> hi gang
[00:50] <shawn_> ozzmant None of my other OSs are 64 bit
[00:51] <razor_X> okay i have the latest java according to my package manager why wont limewire and frostwire work for me?
[00:51] <mezquitale> shawn_,  what does system monitor say how many gigs you have?
[00:51] <ozzmannt> shawn: i guess your other OSs are reading the same amount of memory as u'r 64 bit ones, 3.2GB?
[00:51] <Guest3271> my you tube player wont work can someone help
[00:51] <shawn_> mezquitale For some reason it says 3.2 GB
[00:51] <shawn_> ozzmant I havnt checked actually
[00:51] <mezquitale> shawn_, are all the memory from the same manufacturer??
[00:52] <shawn_> mezquitale Two are from PNY and two are from another brand Im not sure what they came with my computer
[00:52] <razor_X> okay i have the latest java according to my package manager why wont limewire and frostwire work for me?
[00:52] <datta> i really need to know how to fix this problem with my sypnetec
[00:52] <bobertdos> henryfranz2005: Have you tried setting all your theme related settings back to default?
[00:52] <qq99> open question: is there a way to click buttons on my mouse and have the OS report to me if it is Button1 or Button2, etc?
[00:52] <Fohn> datta: In Synaptic: Settings>Third-Party Software
[00:53] <ozzmannt> shawn: i'm thinking either you have some bad ram, or your MB does not support all the ram you tossed at it, i would try shuffling the ram around and see if that makes a diff, and also reset u'r BIOS options as a just in case
[00:53] <mezquitale> shawn_, then I believe that could be the problem,  if you look at crucial this computer memory guide it says you can mix and match different sizes and different speeds but they have to be the same as in DDR2
[00:54] <sdcurlee> i can't pass this dell dcse customer service test, anyone else have that problem?
[00:54] <mezquitale> shawn_, here's the link: http://computermemoryupgrade.mysuperpc.com/computer_memory_upgrade_faq.shtml
[00:54] <shawn_> mezquitale Well its all DDR2
[00:54] <datta> Fohn: sorry didn't fix the problem
[00:54] <ping0> i have question about synaptic ... but my english is really bad
[00:54] <Fohn> ping0: What is your native language?
[00:55] <ping0> Fohn: swedish
[00:55] <Fohn> datta: :/ Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[00:55] <mezquitale> shawn_,  I do not recommend to mix and match memory from different manufacturers, it's like mix and matching wireless nic and different routers, you never know if they'll play nice or not
[00:55] <grom72> -d
[00:55] <ping0> but i can try it in english
[00:55] <bobertdos> datta: You may need to go into System -> Administration -> Software Sources and delete whatever extra stuff you've put in there. You might even need to edit the file directly. I think you have a bad line in there.
[00:55] <gOLDfeesh> well.. haven't tried it yet
[00:55] <losher> ping0: you're doing great so far. So ask...
[00:55] <ping0> can i like save a list of all programs that i have installed from synaptic and import it on a another computer
[00:55] <ping0> to install the same programs
[00:55] <shawn_> mezquitale Well even right now I took out my other two sticks and only have my PNYs in and it shows 3.2GB STILL instead of 4GB
[00:55] <ping0> so *
[00:56] <Fohn> !sv
[00:56] <Fohn> I think that's swedish... :/
[00:56] <ozzmannt> mezquitale: i have to disagree with that, you can mix and match just fine as long as you don't try to use dual channel with diff speeds or quality of ram
[00:56] <bobertdos> ping0: Well, not a list perse, but here's one possibility:
[00:56] <losher> ping0: yes. dpkg --get-selections > package.selections to save. dpkg --set-selections < package.selections; apt-get dselect-upgrade to restore....
[00:56] <Berto> Hi - Ever since upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04, i am getting random freezes (cursors won't move, can't change numlock, can't do ctl-alt-backspace)... how can i start debugging these?
[00:56] <bobertdos> !aptoncd | ping0
[00:57] <ozzmannt> shawn: what MB or computer make/model do you have?
[00:57] <shawn_> ozzmant It still shows 3.2GB is all I have even when I have only my two PNYs installed and it should be 4GB
[00:57] <shawn_> ozzmant My motherboard is the DG965OT or something by Intel
[00:57] <bobertdos> ping0: losher's way will work too
[00:57] <datta> please please anyone please help me
[00:57] <shawn_> And ozzmant could you say "shawn_" so it shows up for me as red
[00:57] <ping0> oh ok .. ty
[00:58] <losher> ping0: it's in the dpkg man page...
[00:58] <mezquitale> ozzmannt, well he has 2 sticks with 2 gigs DDR2 and 2 sticks with 1 gig DDR2, they are running at diferent speeds, do you think it will work??  PLus, they are from different manufacturer
[00:58] <ping0> losher: nice
[00:58] <gOLDfeesh> Maritim, here's something interesting for you: http://pastebin.com/d4849eb00
[00:59] <bobertdos> datta: I repeat, go into System->Administration->Software Sources. I think you have at least one invalid entry in there.
[00:59] <ozzmannt> shawn_, not quite used to the IRC client i'm using yet, just kinda jumped in
[00:59] <shawn_> ozzmant Haha no problem... Ill be right back though in a minute... I still need to figure out this problem.
[00:59] <ozzmannt> mezquitale, optimally....no, but if he is just going for lots of RAM that will work just fine, it will just take the slowest speed of all the RAM, so if the slowest is 667 then ALL sticks will run at that
[00:59] <losher> ping0: also, you can copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives from one computer to another to avoid re-downloading packages from the network again...
[01:00] <datta> boberdos: no i just checked it right now, theres only wine, ubuntu one and google
[01:00] <datta> nothing else than that
[01:01] <mezquitale> ozzmannt, he is only able to see 3.2 gigs in ubuntu
[01:01] <DasEi> mezquitale, ozzmannt, dmesg line 28 : [    0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 704MB of RAM.

[01:01] <VilasBoas> can anyone help me???
[01:02] <bobertdos> datta: Use the terminal to edit the file the error specifies. That's what it doesn't like. Use gksudo gedit or sudo nano to acces the file.
[01:02] <losher> ping0: bobertdos method creates a backup of the actual packages, my way saves the list of package names/versions. You can/should combine the two techniques for maximum efficiency...
[01:02] <mezquitale> shawn_, have you tried updating your BIOS?
[01:03] <sunshinepants> VilasBoas: make sure all the channels are unmuted / turned up with alsamixer
[01:03] <ping0> losher : ok
[01:03] <VilasBoas> i already have
[01:03] <fez> have you now
[01:03] <ozzmannt> mezquitale, understood but the mixing of brands/speeds has nothing to do with that
[01:03] <sunshinepants> VilasBoas: what channels have you got showing?
[01:04] <Maritim> gOLDfeesh: it wasn't for me, it was for afallenhope
[01:04] <gOLDfeesh> Maritim, I am afallenhope ;)
[01:04] <Maritim> gOLDfeesh: I don't have a ralink card ;)
[01:05] <VilasBoas> sunshinepants: HDA intel (Alsa mixer) Main Headphone PCM font
[01:05] <myownserver> Question . . . I set my username/password as a FTP user in ProFTPD and granted that user all permissions.  But for some reason, I cannot overwrite my files.  I can delete, rename, chmod, etc., but it will not let me over write them.  Any idea why?
[01:06] <losher> myownserver: sounds like a safety feature. Are you sure it's not a proftpd 'feature'...
[01:06] <sunshinepants> VilasBoas: I was building alsa using something called 'alsa upgrade script' when I ran jaunty.  I recall having problems, but instead of finding out what it actually was I just blanketed the problem..
[01:07] <gOLDfeesh> Maritim, is there a reason as to why DEPMOD says 2.6.28.10??
[01:07] <shawn_> Okay Im back
[01:07] <VilasBoas> sunshinepants: how???
[01:07] <sunshinepants> VilasBoas: the alsa upgrade script fixed my problem
[01:07] <sunshinepants> VilasBoas: it's on ubuntuforums.org, you must be registered to grab it
[01:07] <shawn_> mezquitale I just got back I missed anything you said a fewminutes ago
[01:07] <mezquitale> ozzloy, DasEi so it looks like it's a known BIOS issue then
[01:07] <VilasBoas> sunshinepants: do you have that script?
[01:07] <sunshinepants> VilasBoas: negative
[01:08] <myownserver> losher: I have no clue.  It's a permissions issue of some sort.
[01:08] <mezquitale> shawn_,  it looks like it's a BIOS issue, have you tried updating your BIOS?
[01:08] <VilasBoas> sunshinepants: ok thanks
[01:08] <shawn_> mezquitale Not even sure how to do that
[01:08] <myownserver> I did that to keep from having a problem with directly accessing the files on the PC I'm uploading them to.
[01:08] <ozzmannt> shawn_, found your issue, your MB supports 8gb of ram at 667mhz or below
[01:08] <sunshinepants> sweet
[01:08] <myownserver> Instead of having to use root commands to modify it, I wanted to directly access it.
[01:09] <shawn_> ozzmant Hmmm so I need to find a way to exchange this 800 for 667?
[01:09] <DasEi> mezquitale: ozzloy : that , or the hint from the manual, or non suitable rams wrong bios setting, last a defective stripe
[01:09] <ozzmannt> shawn_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/277503/
[01:10] <Maritim> gOLDfeesh: the only probable reason would be that the version is in fact 2.6.28.10
[01:10] <ozzmannt> shawn_, appears that way, intel boards are sooooo wacky, in fact i have 2 boards that i can't get over 4gb of ram to work in it :(
[01:10] <gOLDfeesh> Maritim, how would I remove it then?
[01:10] <shawn_> ozzmant I totally understand that... I didnt know that before but I understand now but that doesnt explain why 4GB arent showing up now when all I have is two 800 DIMMs in nothing else... They should equal 4 GB
[01:10] <BCM43> Is there anything like this: http://www.crossloop.com/ for linux? I need to log in to the computer of a person who is not technical enough to setup port forwarding.
[01:11] <rocky|> hello
[01:11] <BCM43> hi rocky|
[01:11] <maver> how can I discover which boot manager (lilo, grub, ...) is "active" on my pc?
[01:11] <ozzmannt> shawn_, full manuals here : http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg965ot/sb/CS-029360.htm
[01:11] <Strife89> My Raedon X1200 is performing SLOWLY with 3D graphics in games in Ubuntu, and distant textures look very weird. I've already tried this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1231030), to no avail. Can anyone suggest another possible course of action? I'm running the 32 bit version of Ubuntu, but my Toshiba Satellite has a 64 bit AMD CPU.
[01:11] <Maritim> gOLDfeesh: you say you are running 2.6.28-15-geneirc, stop compiling the wrong version and uninstall the module that's been compiled from the wrong kernel version
[01:11] <BCM43> maver: reboot?
[01:11] <IdleOne> maver: if you are running ubuntu it is most likely grub. grub is default for ubuntu
[01:12] <shawn_> ozzmant Yeah I have the manual I took out the rest of my RAM and all I left in is 4GB of the 800 speed stuff but it still only displays 3.2 GB in system monitor
[01:12] <myownserver> BCM43: Checkout Logmein.com
[01:12] <gOLDfeesh> Maritim, I don't know how I'd do that though..
[01:12] <BCM43> myownserver: on ubuntu?
[01:12] <sunshinepants> BCM43: give them a putty config that forwards their internal 3389 to your box
[01:12] <maver> BCM43, I know I'm using Grub, I just was curious to know if there's a command which shows it
[01:12] <myownserver> Crap, I dunno.  They're the makers of Hamachi, which the use to support Linux, si I don't know.
[01:12] <Maritim> gOLDfeesh: it's 2am here, so I'm about ot head to bed. I'll see if I can find something on google
[01:12] <myownserver> Check it out and see.
[01:12] <BCM43> sunshinepants: I don't know how to do that.
[01:12] <rocky|> I know this isn't directly ubuntu related, but I need help making a backup of my hdd.  It says it has bad sectors, and chkdsk /f/r doesn't fix it.  I want to use ntfsclone, but don't know how to use it completely.  The partition I want to back up is /dev/sda1 and I want to save a disk image to /dev/sdb1
[01:13] <gOLDfeesh> Maritim, that'd be appreciated thanks
[01:13] <myownserver> BCM43: They may support it.
[01:13] <Maritim> gOLDfeesh: modprobe -r module_name
[01:13] <Maritim> gOLDfeesh: why do you not install the module which is in the ubuntu repository?
[01:13] <O__o> how to install extra font?
[01:13] <ozzmannt> shawn_, next thing on the list is to update the bios, reset the settings and see if that helps, i highly doubt it's an ubuntu issue more likley a BIOS issue
[01:13] <IdleOne> !fonts O__o
[01:14] <IdleOne> !fonts | O__o
[01:14] <shawn_> ozzmant How do I update my bios?
[01:14] <sunshinepants> BCM43: I don't think that's documented on a blog or anything.. let me know what you decide to use
[01:14] <DasEi> rocky|: the internal has bad sectors or the one you want to write to ?
[01:14] <BCM43> myownserver: does not look like it, thanks antway.
[01:14] <ozzmannt> shawn_, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Desktop+Boards&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+965+Express+Chipset+Family+Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Board+DG965OT&OSVersion=OS+Independent
[01:15] <rocky|> DasEi: the internal has bad sectors, and I want to make a disk image of it on an external.
[01:15] <seanbrant> im trying to figure out how to install webkit, i tried sudo apt-get intall libqt4-webkit but can't find the package
[01:15] <rocky|> I think I found the official channel for this app, so I'm going to go there :)
[01:15] <DasEi> rocky|: right, first make a empty partition on the external slightly bigger then your internal is
[01:15] <shawn_> ozzmant Umm which one do I want
[01:16] <kermit> rocky|: you want a new image that has bad sectors too?
[01:16] <shawn_> ozzmant DO I want the latest?
[01:16] <rocky|> kermit: it doesn't matter to me as long as I have a backup
[01:16] <O__o> do i need to restart openoffice after i installed the font?
[01:16] <rocky|> I know that using ntfsclone it will copy the bad sectors
[01:16] <Strife89> !graphics
[01:16] <Strife89> !x
[01:17] <ozzmannt> shawn_, you want the one that is marked latest and you want the .iso file to burn to a cd
[01:17] <shawn_> ozzmant Im not really sure how to do this xD
[01:17] <ToStItOs> Does anyone know how to do Internet connection sharing with XP and Ubuntu?
[01:17] <kermit> with all this sudoing, any app can just alias sudo and gain root next time someone uses it.. why doesnt ubuntu consider that a huge security hole?
[01:18] <ozzmannt> shawn_, on the bad news side of things, the intel 965 is the same chipset that i couldn't get >4gb to work so this may not work, but a BIOS update is always good
[01:18] <shane2peru> I have a package idea for Ubuntu and wonder where to start?  Who to get in touch with.
[01:18] <Berto> kermit, jumping in late but i think sudo only works in that terminal instance
[01:18] <DasEi> rocky|: using gparted is clear ?
[01:18] <shawn_> ozzmant I cant even get 4GB to work so I find that wierd
[01:18] <rocky|> dasei, gparted reports bad sectors
[01:19] <shawn_> ozzmant But my bios hasnt been updated in 2-3 years
[01:19] <Maritim> berto, kermit: I can confirm that sudo only works in that terminal instance. I just tested it.
[01:19] <ctmjr> !brainstorm | shane2peru
[01:19] <craigbass1976> What's the name of the terminal app?  terminal isn't it
[01:19] <rocky|> DasEi: what I want to do is make a copy of the partition, zero out the drive with bad sectors, then reformat it
[01:19] <ToStItOs> Do i need a crossover cable to do a internet connection between Windows Xp and Ubuntu
[01:19] <ozzmannt> shawn_, u've never seen > 3.2gb in any OS you have run tho right?
[01:19] <rocky|> I am have a sneaking feeling that I can fix it through software
[01:19] <shane2peru> ctmjr: ahh, thank you!!! I will check that out
[01:20] <kermit> Berto,maritim: i dont follow, what terminal instance?
[01:20] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, that's only for hookingone computer up directly from nic to nic
[01:20]  * rocky| doesn't have good english tonight XD
[01:20] <DasEi> rocky|: did you ran an non destructive check on the hd ? question about gparted concerned external
[01:20] <shawn_> ozzmant Before I bought these new sticks I only had 2GB of RAM in it so no I guess I havnt
[01:20] <ctmjr> shane2peru: your welcome
[01:20] <DasEi> rocky|: native language ?
[01:20] <rocky|> english XD
[01:20] <DasEi> heh
[01:20] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976 what I want to do is share the connection and files and printer
[01:20] <ozzmannt> shawn_, updating the BIOS is going to be a shot in the dark but it's simple at least; download the .iso file to your ubuntu machine and double click on it to burn it to a cd, then restart u'r computer booting from that CD
[01:21] <rocky|> yes, I did.  I tried Western Digital data life (or something like that), chkdsk /f/r, and a *little* of spinrite
[01:21] <Maritim> kermit: if you open up a terminal and write sudo cfdisk, you will be prompted for a password. If you then in that same terminal window proceed to write sudo aptitude install linux-kernel, it will not prompt you for your password. If you close this terminal window and open up another one, you will have to enter yuor password again if you want to sudo something
[01:21] <ToStItOs> With the crossover could that be done?
[01:21] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, you'll need a router, or at least a switch; either that or have two nics in one of the machines
[01:21] <DasEi> rocky|: or a sudo e2fsck -p from a live cd on the not-mounted drive
[01:21] <Maritim> kermit: sudo only works without asking for a password for a limited amount of time in the terminal you used it in in the first place. To sum it all up: the security hole you are worried about isn't a problem, cus it can't be taken advantage of
[01:22] <shawn_> ozzmant and if this doesnt work then I seriously need to buy a new motherboard to have over 3.2GB? X_X  If the manual says it supports 8GB why wouldnt it X_X
[01:22] <dergringo> How do I enable SSL on a samba server?
[01:22] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: 2 NICS?
[01:22] <rocky|> Dasei: well, I'm running ubuntu 9.04 x64 desktop edition right now, so I'll go ahead and do that :)
[01:23] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, ethernet cards
[01:23] <ozzmannt> shawn_, curse at intel for that, same problem i had with the 965
[01:23] <kermit> Maritim: i didnt realize it even didnt prompt for a password, so my statement wasnt based on that feature at all
[01:23] <shawn_> ozzmant How much is a new motherboard?
[01:23] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: I have a NIC on each machine but I have dial up so a router is going to be out of the question but you mentioned a switch
[01:24] <rocky|> DasEi: I am having trouble with that command... but really the first thing on my mind is making a complete backup
[01:24] <Maritim> karmit: it prompts you for a password the first time, then you can sudo around all you want, but only in the terminal you sudo'ed in in the first place ;) if you open another terminal session you'll have to enter your password in that one aswell
[01:24] <DasEi> rocky|: so I'll see you back then, or we can backup first, so .. ?
[01:24] <DasEi> right.. gparted then
[01:24] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, Ahh, then you're all set.  Yes, a crossover will do it.  If you've got crimps and an ethernet end, you can make one.
[01:24] <shawn_> ozzmant Going to update bios hopefully this works wish me luck
[01:25] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: Can I buy them or
[01:25] <rocky|> DasEi: the problem is that gparted won't touch it  because of the bad sectors... thats why I'm using ntfs clone
[01:25] <rocky|> I'm just going to go to their channel
[01:25] <ozzmannt> shawn_, i wouldn't even consider it unless you really need that extra RAM to be honest
[01:25] <shawn_> ozzmant Well I just spent 100 bucks on this DDR2 RAM so I could have 6 Gigs and now I cant even get 4 X_X
[01:25] <DasEi> rocky|: gparted is now used to create a partition on your external
[01:26] <kermit> Maritim: i didnt realize it ever didnt prompt for a password, so my original statement wasnt based on that feature at all
[01:26] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, yes, you can buy them.  I think all you do is switch the blue and orange though if you use a regular cable, but can't remember if it's the solid or striped blue and orange...
[01:27] <DasEi> rocky|: I assume the external is big enough to house your internal, you launch gparted
[01:27] <ozzmannt> shawn_, http://www.memtest.org/#downiso i would also download that to make sure it isn't an ubuntu problem for sure
[01:27] <rocky|> yes, the internal is 640 GB, external is 1 TB
[01:27] <DasEi> fine
[01:27] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: I'll ask around so with the cable on one end to the XP computer and then the other to Ubuntu will I be able to share the printer
[01:27] <shawn_> ozzmant Or could I just run the memtest off my Ubuntu live CD
[01:28] <rocky|> DasEi, I'm just a little iffy..... does parted magic work sector by sector?
[01:28] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, yes, you'll have to set up SAMBA, unless windows is doing the sharing.  I can give you a "wide open" samba config file if you want
[01:28] <DasEi> rocky|:in gparted choose this 1 TB and make it a 650 GB in front
[01:28] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[01:29] <ozzmannt> shawn_, if the problem exists in ubuntu that would produce the same results as just booting the OS :P
[01:29] <rocky|> and should I be able to copy this partition back to a different hdd (same model) and see it work right away?
[01:29] <Darkebrz> How do I find what machine I am running? (I know its sony Vaio, but I don't know the model)
[01:29] <shawn_> ozzmant Shouldnt I try updating my bios first before running a 3 hour mem test?
[01:29] <DasEi> rocky|: you will be later
[01:29] <ShapeShifter499> I need to backup my ubuntu system before I send it in to be fixed, how do I do that?
[01:29] <rocky|> ok
[01:30] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: Let me tell you my set up I have a external modem on the Ubuntu box and the other is Xp so I want the Xp box to do the sharing because thats where my printer is set up
[01:30] <ozzmannt> shawn_, most def
[01:30] <rocky|> shrinking
[01:30] <JessD> ShapeShifter499 : Do you have a drive large enough to hold the entire box?
[01:30] <shawn_> ozzmant Alright Ill be right back
[01:30] <Cyrano_De> Anyone have a Dell Eport docking station?  Did you get sound working on it?
[01:30] <DasEi> rocky|: apply your change in gp, close it
[01:30] <ShapeShifter499> yea hooked up by firewire on another comp /w ubuntu
[01:31] <rocky|> brb
[01:31] <adok> good night
[01:31] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, just share it out then on the xp box and browse for it on the ubuntu box.  Should find it.  I haven't got a regular Ubuntu box here (and no windows in my house anyway) to walk you through the exact process, but that's essentially it
[01:31] <server7> Shapeshifer499, Use Gparted to Clone you Hard drive and will not lose anything
[01:31] <ShapeShifter499> how?
[01:31] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, you should just quit xp...  :P
[01:31] <ShapeShifter499> I have my backup drive on another pc
[01:31] <adok> im having problems running synaptic, or problems with my repositories. I cant find xchat... or wicd... or aircrack-ng...
[01:31] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: Eventually I will
[01:31] <ShapeShifter499> with ubuntu
[01:31] <adok> what am i missing?
[01:32] <JessD> ShapeShifter499 : Then what I usually do (YMMV) is boot the box w/ a live cd (like DSL) dd the drive over ssh
[01:32] <rocky|> still waiting for the resize to finish.....
[01:32] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, you'll love it, especially when everyone you know gets hit with the latest porn virus
[01:32] <rocky|> I know it can take awhile
[01:32] <JessD> ShapeShifter499 : It can be somewhat complicated
[01:32] <Darkebrz> How do I find what machine I am running? (I know its sony Vaio, but I don't know the model)
[01:32] <ShapeShifter499> ok I'm in a live cd right now
[01:32] <rocky|> DasEi: ok, its done, now what? :)
[01:32] <ShapeShifter499> what do I do?
[01:33] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: This Ubuntu box is my backup in case my Xo box gets toasted
[01:33] <JessD> JessD : Here's how I do it.  If my backup drive is mounted to /mnt/backup on 192.168.1.7
[01:33] <DasEi> rocky|: open terminal,  sudo fdisk -l
[01:33] <Cyrano_De>  Darkebrz "sudo dmidecode |more"
[01:33] <Darkebrz> Thanks
[01:33] <JessD> ShapeShifter499 : and my username on the target box is foo, and my drive on the box to back up is /dev/sda
[01:33] <ShapeShifter499> *NOTE: I'm chatting on the comp with the backup drive hooked up to it*
[01:33] <O__o> hi i have a font CASTELAR.TTF in windows, how do i put it in ubuntu?
[01:33] <rocky|> DasEi: what will that do?
[01:33] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: I 'll play with the crossover cable and set it up
[01:34] <ShapeShifter499> w8
[01:34] <JessD> ShapeShifter499 : Then, WITH EXTREME CAUTION, my syntax looks like this
[01:34] <ShapeShifter499> can you pm me the info?
[01:34] <craigbass1976> ToStItOs, you may have ot go to a computer shop; I don't know as crossover is something best buy would carry.
[01:34] <DasEi> rocky|: get the /dev/sda (internal?)  and /dev/sdb1 (? external)  ;; it will list your hd's and their partits
[01:34] <rocky|> I did it, should I pastie it?
[01:35] <Darkebrz> Cyrano_De, that only lists the chip, I was wondering what my model was. (Im trying to do a format on windows)
[01:35] <shawn_> ozzmant Alright I tried doing it but it said my CD-ROM drive was not bootable for some reason yet it works when I put in my Ubuntu live CD
[01:35] <JessD> ShapeShifter499 : One sec
[01:35] <Gnimsh> hi folks
[01:35] <DasEi> rocky|: yes
[01:35] <rocky|> kk
[01:35] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: I plan to the stupid forums don't give any specifics
[01:35] <ShapeShifter499> JessD: ok
[01:35] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: Keep reading the output.  There should be alot of info on your system from that.
[01:35] <rocky|> http://pastie.org/629816
[01:35] <DasEi> rocky|: wait, easier
[01:35] <ToStItOs> craigbass1976: what pain
[01:35] <DasEi> fast :-D
[01:35] <rocky|> lol
[01:35] <switchgir{[H]}> hi anyone know anything about porn-get?
[01:35] <switchgir{[H]}> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587445
[01:35] <Darkebrz> Cyrano_De, OH, didnt see the "more" XD
[01:36] <Gnimsh> so I open up a lot of rar files, and i've been annoyed at fileroller lately because there's an extract dialog that comes up, and I have to click the close button and THEN I also have to click the to close the window
[01:36] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
[01:36] <Gnimsh> have to close twice, which annoyes me
[01:36] <Gnimsh> -e
[01:36] <Gnimsh> anyone know  workaround?
[01:36] <Cyrano_De> darrenb: Product Name: Latitude E6500
[01:37] <Darkebrz> Aha, found ot
[01:37] <Darkebrz> *it
[01:37] <wildnfree> Gnimsh: workaround is to use tar
[01:37] <Gnimsh> wildnfree, you mean cli?
[01:37] <Darkebrz> Now to figure out how to format :3
[01:37] <shawn_> ozzmannt Alright for some reason it couldnt boot from my bios CD yet it can boot from my Ubuntu live CD
[01:37] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: Grep, sed, awk and cut are your friends
[01:38] <wildnfree> Gnimsh: Yes - it is quicker and less annoying than fileroller
[01:38] <DasEi> rocky|: fine,   sudo dd if=/dev/sda  of=/dev/sdb1
[01:38] <server7> Does anyone knows how to solve the conflict between Webcam and tv Tuner??dev/video0 and dev/video1??
[01:39] <ozzmannt> shawn_, :( if you have a windows partition you may try the windows updater then
[01:39]  * switchgir{[H]} wonders if anyone knows if porn-get exists? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587445
[01:39] <rocky|> DasEi: wait, wait, wait... I have data on sdb1 that I want to keep
[01:40] <shawn_> ozzmannt For the windows one do I download the exe?
[01:40] <ozzmannt> shawn_, exactly
[01:40] <ctmjr> switchgir{[H]}: that has nothing to do with ubuntu support
[01:40] <lalo_> hello
[01:40] <shawn_> ozzmannt BRB
[01:40] <lalo_> evertybody
[01:40] <rocky|> DasEi: I did not format the free space into a partition
[01:40] <switchgir{[H]}> ctmjr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587445 <<<its on the ubuntu forums
[01:40] <rocky|> hello lalo_
[01:41] <lalo_> how i can obtain new channels
[01:41] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?
[01:41] <DasEi> rocky|: oo, but reparttioned it, hopefully that was at the beginning of that drive
[01:42] <Fohn> lalo_: /j #channelname
[01:42] <alazyworkaholic> I'm having a problem whenever I try to play games (tremulous, supertuxkart...) After about 10 minutes of play my keyboard & mouse no longer work in the game, & nothing I do can close the game window & get back to normal desktop, but I can still ctrl-alt-F#, ctrl-alt-backspace or REISUB. Any idea what the problem is?
[01:42] <imperfect-> Anyone got a USB Pinnalce HDTV tv thingy that sound works with?
[01:42] <imperfect-> 9.04
[01:42] <lalo_> ok thanks fohn
[01:42] <imperfect-> I got tvtime to play nice, just no sound
[01:43] <ctmjr> switchgir{[H]}: well as far as i know this channel and the forums are 2 different things so you should drop it as this is a family channel
[01:43] <rocky|> DasEi: O.o I repartitioned the external so that the old ntfs partition (that holds some other backup data) was smaller and still at the beginning of the drive... the freespace is at the end
[01:43] <rocky|> so......... should I move the old partition to the end?
[01:43] <satux> ,çokpo
[01:43] <sebsebseb> !troll |  switchgir{[H]}
[01:43] <sebsebseb> !o40 |  switchgir{[H]}
[01:43] <rocky|> I'm becoming confused
[01:44] <switchgir{[H]}> sorry
[01:44] <Manuz> buonasera
[01:45] <DasEi> rocky|: if you want to backup a corrupt drive, you need space to write to, I can't say much about your data on sdb1 now, mount it and check
[01:45] <rocky_> DasEi, its fine
[01:45] <rocky_> I just shrank that partition
[01:45] <Manuz> buonasera
[01:47] <DasEi> rocky|: that was really more then luck, but apart on you freeing the needed space, we're done then, if you executed last cmd you would have a hardcopy on /dev/sdb1
[01:47] <rocky|> DasEi: But in GParted, the partition with data is still marked as /dev/sdb1!!!!!!!
[01:48] <rocky|> wouldn't that meant that my old data that I also want to keep would be overwritten????
[01:48] <IdleOne> !it | Manuz
[01:49]  * rocky| says blargh
[01:49] <IdleOne> rocky|: pirate day was on the 19th
[01:49] <DasEi> rocky|: if you want to backup a corrupt drive, you need space to write to, I can't say much about your data on sdb1 now, mount it and check, sure you got to save that (f.e. on the remaining space of external, if no too big)
[01:49] <rocky|> lol
[01:49] <DasEi> muharr
[01:52] <rocky|> so..... could I format the new 650 GB of free space to ntfs, making it /dev/sdb2, and then do sudo dd if=/dev/sda  of=/dev/sdb2 ?
[01:52] <AirBender> Hi, do you know about a usb sniffer for linux/ubuntu?
[01:53] <DasEi> rocky|: AFTER you saved the existing data and no need for formating
[01:54] <razor_X> anyone know much about frostwire limewire?
[01:54] <rocky|> *sigh* I think I get it now... I was hoping that I could do this without moving the 80 GB of data that was already on the HDD, but it seems as though I cannot.... I guess I'll have to find somewhere to put it :S
[01:55] <DasEi> rocky|: there are approx 450 g unallocate external, that size not big enough ?
[01:56] <rocky|> I"M SO CONFUSED!!!!!! sorry........ omg..... so, the data is on sdb1... you were going to have me dd my corrupt hdd to sdb1..... so..... do I have to move the old data to sdb2??? ~:?
[01:56] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?
[01:56]  * rocky| is feeling like a n00b today
[01:57] <DasEi> rocky|: you are clear as water
[01:57] <rocky|> so wait... you're saying that what I just said before is what I have to do?
[01:57] <rocky|> :D
[01:58] <timClicks> Fohn: are you on 9.04?
[01:58] <shawn_> Alright ozzmannt I updated the bios...
[01:58] <RaviResck> Anybody here use Ibook? Or any mac? I want to know how i enter in the setup or how i boot from the USB?
[01:58] <spO> to run a command as another user i do sudo -i -u username  command , right?
[01:58] <timClicks> Fohn: System > Preferences > Display may help
[01:59] <Aayush> how could i assign users  mount privileged
[01:59] <lstarnes> spO: you could also try sudo -u username command
[01:59] <spO> lstarnes, if i do that then it runs the command as the current user or something it seems
[02:00] <shawn_> Guys what would be better/faster.... 4GB DDR2 at 800 Mhz or 6-8GB DDR2 at 667 Mhz
[02:00] <Cyrano_De> spO: You only need the -i if you need the full Env settings of that user.
[02:00] <DasEi> rocky|: yes, any data external exceeding the 650 is by now lost. you could put that back, with difficulties. but you can format this space now an shove your external data over. another tip : next time mention if you use a FS other then ext, as we are in ubuntu
[02:00] <Cyrano_De> shawn_: Depends on your workload.
[02:00] <timClicks> RaviResck: it's a bit of a pain to boot from USB on a Mac
[02:00] <shawn_> cyrano_de the most RAM dependant thing I do is using an XP VM on a second display screen
[02:00] <timClicks> RaviResck: I remember friends of mine saying that they needed a CD, in order for that to work
[02:01] <timClicks> RaviResck: but I don't know the details, unfortunately
[02:01] <genii> RaviResck: On most you do Applekey-alt-O-F   brings you to the openfirmware interface. From there you need to consult the openfirmware command handbook/manual
[02:01] <Cyrano_De> shawn_: If you go anywhere need using 4GB of ram, then having more will be faster.  If you never go much above 3GB than the faster 4Gb would be better.
[02:01] <shawn_> Cyrano_De alright thanks
[02:01] <timClicks> !xchat
[02:01] <Cyrano_De> I use 4 on my laptops with a Winxp VM
[02:02] <timClicks> !gnome-system-monitor
[02:02] <Aayush> how could i assign users  mount privileged
[02:02] <RaviResck> timClicks genii ok, i'll try that. Thanks.
[02:02] <DasEi> rocky|: clear your mind for future, if you want to write to a disk, it should have the space. copy won't destruct,  a hardcopy will do
[02:02] <cliff> hi all
[02:02] <halberd> help!  my wireless networking is down for some reason... iwlist scan tells me "eth1: failed to read scan data : invalid argument"
[02:02] <halberd> how can I further diagnose and perhaps fix the problem?
[02:03] <DasEi> rocky|: the other way round is also possible , if external data isn't more then 44o GB
[02:03] <Darkebrz> How do I list all of my partitions?
[02:04] <halberd> and I did run ifconfig eth1 up
[02:04] <rocky|> the (old) external data is 88 GB
[02:04] <halberd> and eth1 is my wireless card
[02:04] <rocky|> hmmmmmmm
[02:04] <Boondoklife> Darkebrz: fdisk -l /dev/sda
[02:04] <Jimbeam12> hey all
[02:05] <Jimbeam12> wsup
[02:05] <rocky|> hi Jimbeam12
[02:05] <Jimbeam12> how are u today..
[02:05] <halberd> and networking WAS working earlier
[02:05] <DasEi> rocky|: so hopefully not fragmented, can lower /dev/sdb1 to 440 GB and then hardcopy to /dev/sdb2
[02:05] <halberd> wireless networking
[02:05] <Jimbeam12> darn feel like jimbeam...any else for a drink..
[02:05] <halberd> it's been working for months now suddenly it stopped working
[02:05] <DasEi> sudo fdisk -l, Darkebrz
[02:05] <rocky|> DasEi, I don't know exactly what you mean by "hardcopy"
[02:06] <DasEi> !info dd
[02:06] <rocky|> ok, dd is hard copy?
[02:06] <genii> "hard copy" usually meaning on paper...then no, dd is NOT hard copy
[02:07] <rocky|> lol
[02:07] <Cyrano_De> Looks like ubottu needs to update her package list.
[02:07] <DasEi> rocky|: yes, sectorwise reading regardless of content, output is kinda iso-file that will overwrite anything in destination
[02:07] <rocky|> DasEi: thats interesting... can a make the destination a file rather than a partition?
[02:08] <Cyrano_De> rocky|: You could create a file of the size you need with dd and then copy the partition into it.  The you use the loopback device to "mount" that file.
[02:09] <rocky|> hmmmmmmmmm mehn
[02:09] <rocky|> meh
[02:09] <rocky|> lol
[02:09] <genii> rocky|: You can do like:  sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/somewhere/somefilename.img
[02:09] <timClicks> !info xchat
[02:10] <genii> rocky|: Then you could loop-mount the .img file
[02:10] <Cyrano_De> !info irssi
[02:10] <rocky|> genii, could I specify it to put the file on a certain partition, like /dev/sdb2/thefile.img?
[02:10] <DasEi> yes!
[02:10] <rocky|> :D
[02:10] <genii> rocky|: Actually in nthe example I just gave of just sda mounting it is more complicated, you need an offset because sda is entire disk. but sda1 sda2   etc etc works
[02:10]  * timClicks thinks it's strange that a CLI IRC client is larger than a GUI client
[02:10] <Cyrano_De> rocky|: mount -t auto -o loop /somewhere/somefilename.img /mnt/somemountpoint
[02:11] <timClicks> which commands does ubottu know?
[02:11] <DasEi> !brain
[02:11] <timClicks> thanks DasEi
[02:13] <halberd> what apt package does iwlist come in
[02:13] <rocky|> ok, so the command I should do is sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2/backup.img if I want to have my backup image on the external hdd? also, someone said I need to have the file already existing?
[02:13] <O__o> how to write for loop in terminal?
[02:13] <ctmjr> halberd: wireless-tools
[02:13] <halberd> I'm thinking I might want to try to uninstall then reinstall wireless-tools...
[02:13] <rocky|> ah, it was Cyrano_De that said that I had to have the file pre-existing
[02:13] <Flannel> rocky|: You shouldn't do /dev/sdb2/backup.img, mount sdb2 somewhere, and then use a regular filesystem point
[02:13] <halberd> ty ctmjr
[02:14] <rocky|> holy crap
[02:14] <ctmjr> halberd: np
[02:14] <rocky|> so many people telling me what to do, I'm so confused
[02:14] <rocky|> halp!
[02:14] <mogi222> hi anyone here use or know about untangle?
[02:14] <Cyrano_De> O__o: for i in 1 2 3; do echo $i; done
[02:14] <mogi222> i want to know your opinion on whether to use untangle or just install ubuntu server and add whatever pkgs i need
[02:14] <O__o> Cyrano_De, what if i want from 1 to 40?
[02:15] <halberd> nope that didn't help
[02:15] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?
[02:15] <halberd> I removed and reinstalled wireless-tools but I am still getting the same problem
[02:15] <halberd> eth1      Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
[02:15] <halberd> when I try sudo iwlist scan
[02:15] <rocky|> oh screw it, i'm just going to go for it
[02:16] <halberd> and yes I've tried rebooting
[02:16] <DasEi> rocky…
[02:16] <Cyrano_De> O__o: for i in `seq 1 40`; do echo $i;done
[02:16] <rocky|> People telling me not to do stuff, right after I think I've figured it out
[02:16] <DasEi> rocky|: remember to free the space dd shall write to, it's like a format on that space
[02:16] <ctmjr> halberd: you need to tell it what to scan i.e. sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[02:16] <rocky|> ok
[02:17] <halberd> ctmjr, yes if I try sudo iwlist eth1 scan it gives me the same problem
[02:17] <rocky|> Dasei: (yes, I know its a repost) ok, so the command I should do is sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2/backup.img if I want to have my backup image on the external hdd? also, someone said I need to have the file already existing?
[02:17] <halberd> also wicd manager is no longer detecting any wireless networks
[02:17] <halberd> although there are definitely some around
[02:18] <Cyrano_De> halberd: Do you have a hardware wireless switch?  A Fn-f2 key combination that turns wireless off?
[02:18] <Darkebrz> Hi, I am using this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19428.html to make an Ubuntu boot cd, but I don't know what to copy from /boot
[02:18] <monokrome> hi
[02:18] <RaviResck> How do i boot from cd in a Ibook?
[02:18] <wongon> I just recently installed Test::WWW::Mechanize.  When I did: perl -MTest::WWW::Mechanize -e '', it gave me: LWP::UserAgent version 5.827 required--this is only version 5.816 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 106.  How do I update LWP::UserAgent using yum?
[02:18] <monokrome> Does anyone here know how I can change my source.list to use another mirror? I don't know what mirrors for my server support jaunty
[02:19] <Cyrano_De> halberd: My d600 uses the Fn-F2 combo to turn wireless off and on.  My new E6500 has a hard switch on the side to do the same
[02:19] <halberd> Cyrano_De, not that I know of... I certainly don't have a hard switch to do it but maybe I hit a button accidentally
[02:19] <halberd> like a combo
[02:19] <DasEi> rocky|: no need for that
[02:19] <halberd> omg
[02:19] <halberd> haha thanks Cyrano_De
[02:19] <genii> RaviResck: Usually holding down C key during boot
[02:20] <DasEi> monokrome: synaptic lets you set that easily
[02:20] <halberd> looks like hitting f2 does the trick (without the fn)
[02:20] <monokrome> DasEi: My current server uses this, but I don't know how to change it to a server that actually supports jaunty... http://pastebin.com/d27839f0b
[02:20] <RaviResck> genii thanks :D
[02:20] <D3RGPS31> how can i remove icons from the address bar in nautilus
[02:20] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: System->Administration->Software Sources.  In there click on the  "Download From" dropdown.  Select other.
[02:20] <halberd> I guess that means I have never hit f2 before without the fn key held down... funny that
[02:20] <genii> RaviResck: You're welcome
[02:20] <monokrome> Cyrano_De: This is a server.
[02:21] <Badwulf> What the hell is this
[02:21] <Badwulf> ?
[02:21] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: No x than.  Don't know how to test for the best mirror from the commandline.
[02:21] <monokrome> Yes. That is my issue :)
[02:21] <DasEi> rocky|: 1) resize sdb1 to 440 GB  2) sudo dd if=dev/sda1  of=/sdb2 3) stop being .. lol
[02:21] <monokrome> I am in Utah, so XMission is the server I usually use
[02:22] <monokrome> but I don't know how to get the new URLs for that mirror for sources.list
[02:22] <genii> DasEi: I dunno if: of=/sdb2   is valid...
[02:22] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: Yeah XMission works best for me here in Colorado as well.
[02:22] <Zuwer> Hi, I've seen on Google some places that Linux can run Windows drivers with somethig calle ndiswrapper, can it run any windows driver?
[02:22] <rocky|> genii: should it be /dev/sdb2?
[02:22] <monokrome> Cyrano_De: Do you have a server you can paste the sources.list for?
[02:22] <fbianconi> Zuwer: no just wifi
[02:23] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: If the server is in Utah with you, compare your /etc/apt/sources.list to the one on the server.
[02:23] <Darkebrz> Hi, I am using this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19428.html to make an Ubuntu boot cd, but I don't know what to copy from /boot
[02:23] <DasEi> genii:never walk alone
[02:23] <lstarnes> Zuwer: ndiswrapper only works for networking drivers that use the NDIS api
[02:23] <Zuwer> lstarnes and fbianconi: Thanks. :)
[02:23] <thiebaude> !ndiswrapper
[02:23] <monokrome> Cyrano_De: I am on a Windows 7 machine, SSHd into the server
[02:23] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: I'm sorry.....
[02:23] <genii> rocky|: if you do: sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2              then it will do a direct copy of partition1 on first hd to second partition of second hd
[02:24] <monokrome> Cyrano_De: Yes, I am installing Ubuntu back on this but I needed to do some work in Flash. Is there a way you could paste your sources.list with XMission mirrors in it?
[02:24] <DasEi> monokrome: if you got root access to it, can get anothers sources.list and scp it over
[02:24] <rocky|> oh shit......
[02:24] <rocky|> um
[02:24] <rocky|> brb
[02:24] <FloodBot3> rocky|: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:24] <monokrome> DasEi: I have root, but can you just pastebin it?
[02:25] <rocky|> actually, I'll still be on my lappy
[02:25] <DasEi> monokrome: for which location ?
[02:25] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: Here is mine using XMisson
[02:25] <Cyrano_De> monokrome:
[02:25] <monokrome> DasEi: XMission
[02:25] <BCM43> Can someone explain this? It is while installing the amazon mp3 downloader program. http://imgur.com/wpXeX.png
[02:25] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: http://pastebin.com/m5a77a055
[02:25] <DasEi> there you go
[02:25] <monokrome> Thank you :)

[02:26] <RaviResck> genii is there a special king of image that i have to burn for boot from the cd driver on ibook? Couse a keep holdin the "C" key, and nothing.
[02:26] <rocky_> oh thank god
[02:26] <rocky_> or something
[02:26] <RaviResck> kind*
[02:26] <RaviResck> Enzo Ferrari rs
[02:26] <genii> RaviResck: Possibly... I guess depends if it's an Intel or PPC
[02:26] <rocky_> idk, lol, I was worried that I destroyed the data because I couldn't mount my internal disk in ubuntu
[02:26] <rocky_> after it said it was done
[02:26] <Darkebrz> Well, I guess I'm not getting an answer -_-
[02:26] <Enzo> maybe.
[02:27] <RaviResck> genii PPC, i think.
[02:27] <rocky_> o.O
[02:27] <Enzo> How can I get permission to drag and drop files?
[02:27] <Enzo> newb here.
[02:27] <genii> RaviResck: For that maybe ask in #ubuntu-powerpc
[02:27] <RaviResck> genii thanks,
[02:27] <genii> RaviResck: Welcome
[02:28] <rocky_> wow..... time is flying... so much homework
[02:28] <wongon> wongon: I just recently installed Test::WWW::Mechanize.  When I did: perl -MTest::WWW::Mechanize -e '', it gave me: LWP::UserAgent version 5.827 required--this is only version 5.816 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 106.
[02:28]  * Swish congratulates on the naming of Lucid Lynx
[02:28] <wongon> How do I update LWP::UserAgent using yum?
[02:29] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?
[02:29] <Darkebrz> Last time I am asking
[02:29] <Darkebrz> Hi, I am using this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19428.html to make an Ubuntu boot cd, but I don't know what to copy from /boot
[02:29] <BCM43> Is there a channel for 9.10?
[02:29] <Cyrano_De> wongon: You might try #redhat or #centos.  Ubuntu uses apt-get
[02:29] <timClicks> Fohn: did my previous advice help at all?
[02:29] <Cyrano_De> !ym | wongon
[02:29] <Sylphid|netbook> BCM43, ubuntu+1
[02:29] <Cyrano_De> !apt-get | wongon
[02:30] <rocky_> Darkebrz, do you mean a live cd?
[02:30] <tony7> can someone give me the command to make the file permissions on "text.txt" for the owner read and write and for the group read only
[02:30] <Darkebrz> I do not know, the tutorial specifies it can be used if you mess up grub, and I intend to mess with it
[02:30] <Fohn> timClicks: I already know how to use the display adapter. Since I am using the proprietary driver, your advice leads me to Catalyst Control Center, which, as I mentioned originally, sets the resolution at the proper setting but does not remain persistent.
[02:30] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: What is in your /boot folder
[02:30] <Fohn> display manager*
[02:31] <Darkebrz> grub, initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic, another file with similar name, and other files that end with generi
[02:31] <Darkebrz> *generic
[02:32] <Logomachist> Problem two: I used the dd command to back up a drive image. As I understood it, I would be able to restore the drive image with the command "cat x* | dd of=/dev/sda3" but when I try it I get a permission denied error. However something I just read claimed that if sda3 doesn't exist, dd will start at the beginning of the disk, and create it. Start at the beginning of the disk? That would overwrite my existing Vista partition! I want it
[02:32] <Cyrano_De> tony7: chmod 640 text.txt
[02:33] <rocky_> crap... I accidentally booted back into windows instead of ubuntu live cd three times in a row now.... have to pay attention at the bios!
[02:33] <genii> Logomachist: The reason that command fails is that all to right of pipe (the | ) would require also a sudo
[02:33] <JessD> genii : Can't tell you how many times sudo and pipe has bitten me that way
[02:34] <JessD> genii : Never thought of putting it on both sides..
[02:34] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: the vmlinuz-2.6* file is your kernel image for step 4
[02:34] <Darkebrz> Cyrano_De, There are 2 ._.
[02:34] <shawn_> Is there a health IRC channel somewhere...
[02:34] <Cyrano_De> that initrd.img file is the file to copy for step 5
[02:34] <Darkebrz> 28-11 and 28-15
[02:35] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: do a uname -a  That should show you the version number you need.
[02:35] <genii> JessD: The most common one i see is like: cat something > /some/path/requiring/priveleged/access/filename
[02:35] <Darkebrz> thanks
[02:35] <rocky_> wtf.... something is wrong here.  My computer seems to be refusing to boot into a live cd........
[02:35] <tony7> thanks
[02:36] <rocky_> HOLY *#(*$& SO thats why it wasn't booting, I took out the disk!
[02:36] <Cyrano_De> Boot from Live CD via osmosis?
[02:36] <rocky_> lol
[02:37] <Tactical_Chicken> lol
[02:37] <Tactical_Chicken> nobuntu for you
[02:37] <rocky_> it tells you to take it out when you shut it down, I must have followed along like a zombie XD
[02:37] <rocky_> there we go........
[02:37] <Darkebrz> Okay, now I have to add a line that links to my root, but again I have no idea what this is D:
[02:37] <Tactical_Chicken> tiz why i use usb
[02:38] <rocky_> I'm fine with live cd kthx
[02:38] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?
[02:38] <Cyrano_De> I've stoped using CD for building machines.  I have a microSD card that I use USB starup disk to install from
[02:38] <Tactical_Chicken> yup
[02:38] <rocky_> wow, fohn, you are very persitent ;)
[02:38] <Fohn> true
[02:38] <Tactical_Chicken> everything changes too fast these days
[02:38] <rocky_> and I'm sure I misspelled something there
[02:38] <rocky_> that must be your 4th double post
[02:39] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: sudo more /boot/grub/menu.1st
[02:39] <Fohn> which seems sort of stupid, considering the last word of my post is the proper spelling of persistent :D.
[02:39] <Cyrano_De> The kernel entries towareds the bottom should have teh root drive.
[02:39] <rocky_> lmao
[02:39] <rocky_> I've actually just started seeing your message as spam and not actually reading it XD
[02:39] <Fohn> it would be a double post were it not split by my offering advice/explanations to others
[02:40] <rocky_> :/
[02:40] <rocky_> true
[02:40] <Darkebrz> No such file or directory! D:
[02:40] <qianjigui> sudo cat a.conf >> /etc/postfix/main.cf   , but I got the permission error.
[02:40] <qianjigui> how to solve it?
[02:40] <Darkebrz> Wait, does that just open the file?
[02:40] <timClicks> Fohn: which xorg.conf are you altering?
[02:40] <Fohn> timClicks: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:40] <timClicks> Fohn: I wonder if there's anything hidden in /home/user/.xorg
[02:40]  * Fohn goes to see
[02:41] <genii> qianjigui: cat whatever | sudo tee -a /the/priveleged-path/filename
[02:41] <qianjigui> genii, thx
[02:41] <genii> qianjigui: Welcome
[02:41] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: that is menu.1st <---ONEst not ELLst
[02:42] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: More just displays the file one page at a time.
[02:42] <Darkebrz> I still get no file or directory
[02:42] <Darkebrz> Which is probably because I am in my home directory
[02:42] <Darkebrz> And forgot how to navigate up D:
[02:43] <Major_Quacks> cd followed by your case-sensitive directory
[02:43] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: put the full path in there "/boot/grub/menu.1st"  It should not matter where you are if you use the full path
[02:43] <Darkebrz> darkebrz@ubuntu:~$ sudo more /boot/grub/menu.1st
[02:43] <Darkebrz> /boot/grub/menu.1st: No such file or directory
[02:44] <NigelS> Darkebrz, it's menu.lst
[02:44] <shawn_> Is there any IRC channels for discussing health issues and stuff?
[02:44] <Darkebrz> OH
[02:44] <Darkebrz> Well
[02:44] <Darkebrz> I thought I copied what you typed >_>
[02:44] <Darkebrz> I did actually
[02:44] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: Sorry, my mistake.
[02:44] <Major_Quacks> Try ~/boot/grub/menu.1st
[02:44] <Darkebrz> Yeah :P
[02:45] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: I abuse tab complete a little too much sometimes.
[02:45] <Major_Quacks> Tab complete is the bomb :P
[02:45] <NigelS> Major_Quacks, that path would be relative to his home directory and not /
[02:46] <genii> Darkebrz: Are you on grub1 or grub2 ?
[02:46] <Darkebrz> There we go
[02:46] <Darkebrz> lst worked
[02:46] <Logomachist> genii: Thanks for the correction. Now how do I accomplish it without overwriting my Vista partition?
[02:47] <Darkebrz> Well, I forgot what I was looking for now XD
[02:47] <Darkebrz> root device
[02:47] <Darkebrz> Right
[02:48] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: That may be a little tough as Ubuntu uses uuids.
[02:48] <Darkebrz> I do not understand
[02:48] <Darkebrz> Wait
[02:48] <Darkebrz> Not root device
[02:48] <genii> Logomachist: Did you already do some dd command which was supposed to back up a partition? If so what was it... if not, perhaps if we know the layout of your hd a suitable one can be suggested
[02:48] <Darkebrz> root dev
[02:48] <Darkebrz> That I read as device
[02:49] <Pici> !enter | Darkebrz
[02:50] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: I compared my root UUID entry in menu.lst to the \ in fstab
[02:50] <Darkebrz> Well, I believe my root is /dev/hda2/
[02:50] <ah2> anyone here know pinguino?
[02:50] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: My /etc/fstab file tells me / was /dev/sda5 during installation.
[02:51] <bastidrazor> Darkebrz: sudo blkid will give you UUID's along with /dev/hdX so you can know which is which.
[02:51] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: The UUID for / in /etc/fstab matches the root=UUID= line in menu.lst
[02:52] <Darkebrz> Did sudo blkid, it lists /dev/loop0 /dev/sda1/ and /dev/sda2/ then some incomprehensible garble.
[02:52] <Darkebrz> I can't believe I am doing all this just because my power cable got pulled out.
[02:52] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: The incomprehensible garble is the UUIDs for the partitions
[02:53] <Darkebrz> Okay, that doesn't really help Cyrano_De, what do the mean? I just need to know which one is root, which I think is /sda2/
[02:53] <genii> The "incomprehensible garble" might be something like... your UUID ....
[02:53]  * genii sips
[02:54] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: sda2 is a good bet for a default install
[02:54] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: I do not have a default install to test that with.
[02:54] <Darkebrz> Cyrano_De, I am also sure it is.
[02:55] <ZoeyMarie> Can anyone tell me why I  can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000...
[02:55] <monokrome> I just did a dist-upgrade and ubuntu-minimal and sysklogd couldn't be upgraded
[02:55] <monokrome> Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:55] <rocky_> genii, a little excited and calmer now, doing the command you gave me earlier.... while obviously I can't tell how its doing, I trust that its working :)
[02:55] <RaviResck> where do i see if my pc is x64 or x32 on ubuntu?
[02:56] <Cyrano_De> RaviResck: uname -a
[02:56] <Darkebrz> Now this makes no sense. It wants me to modify isolinux.cfg in bootcd, but I never copied or created those files ._.
[02:56] <rocky_> am I the only one who finds "a little excited and calmer now" oxymoronic?
[02:56] <bastidrazor> RaviResck: uname -m
[02:56] <jkoby> ?
[02:56] <RaviResck> Cyrano_De bastidrazor i686 means x64 right?
[02:57] <rocky_> no it doesn't, RaviResck
[02:57] <bastidrazor> RaviResck: no, that is 32 bit
[02:57] <RaviResck> rsrs
[02:57] <RaviResck> lol
[02:57] <RaviResck> Thanks!
[02:57] <ZoeyMarie> Can anyone tell me why I  can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000...
[02:57] <bastidrazor> RaviResck: X86_64 means 64bit
[02:57] <Cyrano_De> RaviResck: x86_64 is 64
[02:57] <RaviResck> ok
[02:57] <rocky_> really its x86 with 64 bit extensions
[02:57] <rocky_> :/
[02:58] <RaviResck> If i want to download a Debian i should take the i386 version?
[02:58] <rocky_> do you have an x64 processor?
[02:58] <Cyrano_De> rocky_: The chip may be, but the Linux Kernel is either 32bit or 64.
[02:58] <Cyrano_De> RaviResck: That is more dependant on your CPU.
[02:58] <genii> rocky_: Hopefully your current sdb2 is larger than your old sda1
[02:58] <rocky_> yes, it is
[02:58] <rocky_> it is 20 GB larger
[02:58] <RaviResck> i really dont know. My uname -m returned i 686
[02:59] <RaviResck> yes, its larger then 20 gb
[02:59] <genii> rocky_: Good :)
[02:59] <rocky_> lol, RaviResck.  I will limit my response to one line when I can ;)
[02:59] <jkoby> ok, this is driving me insane.
[02:59] <bastidrazor> RaviResck: then you installed the 32bit ubuntu. stick with 32bit if you are somewhat new to linux.
[02:59] <Darkebrz> Cyrano_De, Now this makes no sense. It wants me to modify isolinux.cfg in bootcd, but I never copied or created those files ._.
[02:59] <Cyrano_De> RaviResck: cat /proc/cpuinfo should tell you the CPU info.  Look for 64 in there.
[02:59] <jkoby> i've got an HP mini 1035 running Jaunty, and I can't get the sound to work.
[03:00] <rocky_> genii, I'm wondering how long it would take to transfer 640 GB of data over USB 2.0
[03:00] <RaviResck> clflush size	: 64
[03:00] <genii> rocky_: Long
[03:01] <rocky_> I'll go do the math
[03:01] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: In step 3 it says to copy /usr/lbi/syslinux/isolinux.bin to your working directory bootcd
[03:01] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: Did you do that?
[03:01] <bastidrazor> RaviResck:no, look up the model name and that will tell you.
[03:01] <Darkebrz> Cyrano_De, yes, but it said nothing about a .cfg ._.
[03:02] <ZoeyMarie> Can anyone tell me why I  can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000...
[03:02] <rocky_> huh, linux became the first OS to support USB 3.0 :D
[03:02] <RaviResck> bastidrazor r u sure? model name	: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.50GHz
[03:02] <Darkebrz> And I can't find a .cfg in the same folder
[03:02] <monokrome> I just did a dist-upgrade and ubuntu-minimal and sysklogd couldn't be upgraded. This seems odd to me... Can anyone help?
[03:02] <techie> am i able to get XV output from the FGLRX driver in mplayer?
[03:02] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: Your correct.  There is not isolinux.cfg file in /usr/lib/syslinux?
[03:02] <bastidrazor> RaviResck: if you google the model name that will tell you if it supports 64bit or not.
[03:02] <Logomachist> genii: Yes, I saved the drive image earlier with something like "dd if=/dev/hda | split -b=650m".  As for my hdd, I have a Vista partition at the start of the drive (sda1), then my Ubuntu parition (sda5). At the end of the drive I have the Linux swap space (sda6) and a FAT32 partition (sda7). In between the 2 pairs of partitions I have unallocated space.
[03:03] <rocky_> genii, wow... I'm looking at about 3 hours
[03:03] <genii> rocky_: Yes, or longer
[03:03] <ZoeyMarie> Can anyone tell me why I  can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000...
[03:03] <rocky_> well, i'm going to bed soon anyways, so w/e, it'll be done by the time I wake up
[03:04] <Darkebrz> Cyrano_De, ... there is not
[03:04] <Rosey> Mhm, I'm trying to make my drive region free.....
[03:04] <Darkebrz> Im beginning to think this tutorial is very outdated
[03:04] <rocky_> thanks in advance for helping me out with this
[03:04] <ShapeShifter499> i g2g
[03:04] <ShapeShifter499> bye
[03:05] <rocky_> I say advance because I don't know if it will work... I know it should :) but idk....... lol
[03:05] <genii> Logomachist: dd if=something | split -b=650m           needs to have some third part for it not to end up just spewing 650mb stuff into the stdout...
[03:05] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: I think it wants you to create the .cfg file in your bootcd directory.
[03:05] <ZoeyMarie> Can anyone tell me why I  can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000...
[03:05] <ZoeyMarie> no matter what I put in setup
[03:05] <genii> !repeat | ZoeyMarie
[03:05] <tony7> i wanna click a files properties and change its permission but its greyed out
[03:06] <tony7> how do i bypass tht
[03:06] <Darkebrz> Ugh, I really g2g
[03:06] <Darkebrz> I did not think it would take this long D:
[03:06] <Cyrano_De> tony7: You will need to change the permissions/owner from the command line
[03:06] <tony7> i cant do it with a gui?
[03:07] <cban> Hey does any one have a good site to goto to get a file to make a boot disk with a USB driver for an external CD-ROM drive?  Trying to put Xubuntu on an older laptop PC.
[03:07] <Cyrano_De> tony7: Generally no
[03:07] <tony7> whats gksudo nautaulus....or something like that
[03:07] <stwange> tony7, you can but it's not recommended. alt+f2 then "gksu nautilus"
[03:07] <stwange> tony7 that will bring up a root file explorer, but again, it's not recommended
[03:08] <Rosey> Does anyone have a clue how I can play other region DVDs on Linux
[03:08] <brand0con> while attempting to make a dual boot system with 2 hard drives apparently the live cd didnt recognize the windows disk and now grub isn't working and the windows drive also displays a grub error when booting
[03:08] <ZoeyMarie> genii, I am waiting until my question leaves my screen but I suppose I can wait until it leaves a bigger window... and I am searching the forums, nothing there either... And I thought that, when your question isn't directed at someone, it can "get lost"... so I was just making sure mine didn't get lost. I'm sorry if it was out of line. Thank you for letting me know. :)
[03:08] <brand0con> options?
[03:08] <tony7> i tried that and nothing comes up
[03:08] <anto9us> Rosey, I believe VLC supports that
[03:08] <Logomachist> genii: I forget exactly what command I use, does it matter? I know the filenames weren't filenames I picked, they were default filenames the utility generated. The first one was xaa, then xab, ect... all the way to xd something. I would have picked something more meaningful.
[03:08] <Cyrano_De> tony7: That will run Nautilus with full root permissions and any mistake you make in that window will have little to stop it.
[03:08] <Rosey> hmmm okay
[03:09] <Rosey> I'll try VLC again
[03:09] <Cyrano_De> tony7: Don't fear the CLI.  It is your friend once you get to know it.
[03:10] <Rosey> Yeah for some reason VLC doesn't work for me....
[03:10] <Fohn> I bought a new monitor, and I configured my xorg.conf file to have the proper resolution and refresh rates, and the gdm login screen and other users all have the proper resolution by default. However, whenever I login to my screen, the resolution is reverted to my monitor's old resolution, and I have to manually change it using Catalyst Control Center. How can I make these changes persistent?
[03:10] <anto9us> Rosey, does it play any DVD at all?
[03:10] <brand0con> how can i boot a windows drive that displays a grub error?  can i reinstall grub and hope that it sees windows
[03:11] <genii> Logomachist: The command you gave me for instance.... would not even make any files. It would break the contents of the dd output into 650mb chunks but just output them to the screen...
[03:11] <cban> Looking for a program to creat a boot floppy w/USB CD-ROM drivers.  Any ideas?
[03:11] <monokrome> Does anyone know why this happens? :( http://pastebin.com/d22916441
[03:11] <Logomachist> genii: Ok, I'm trying to figure out the exact command.
[03:12] <Cyrano_De> brand0con: If you have a Windows Vista entry in your menu.lst fill grub should be able to boot it once you reload the MBR
[03:12] <mezquitale> brand0con, if you dont have grub2 then configure menu.lst using UUID for the windows partition
[03:12] <tony7> perhaps i should just ask for help with what im actually trying to do....which is set up an ssh server and test it
[03:12] <tony7> tony@tony-desktop:/$ sshd -t
[03:12] <tony7> Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
[03:12] <tony7> Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

[03:13] <Rosey> Hmmm it doesn't play any...
[03:13] <Guest42812> anyone know if there is a way to identify the motherboard in a system with out opening it up?  I need to see if I can upgrade the cpu.
[03:13] <ZoeyMarie> genii: when would be an appropriate time to re-ask my question?
[03:13] <Rosey> but it reads the disc
[03:13] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: Does sudo apt-get -f install work?
[03:13] <brand0con> mezquitale: in theory shouldn't i be able to unplug the ubuntu drive leaving only the windows drive in and have it boot windows still without grub at all?  I'll try that anyhow
[03:13] <rocky_> excitement and anxiety is ensuing in the rocky household
[03:13] <genii> ZoeyMarie: Every 10 minutes or more is not considered rude/annoying :)
[03:13] <anto9us> tony7, you shouldn't need to start it like that, "sudo apt-get install ssh" should both install and start the service for you
[03:13] <LivenDie> quit
[03:14] <ZoeyMarie> genii: thank you.
[03:14] <mezquitale> brand0con, not really, you have to fix your hard drive with windows so you can boot from it, basically "uninstall" grub
[03:14] <Cyrano_De> tony7: Have you installed the openssh-server package?
[03:14] <tony7> Cyr yes
[03:14] <Cyrano_De> tony7: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd status
[03:15] <anto9us> Rosey, follow instruction here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[03:15] <tony7> hmmm "/etc/init.d/sshd: command not found"
[03:15] <Cyrano_De> tony7: Or drop the d
[03:15] <mezquitale> tony7, did you install the ssh server already?
[03:15] <Cyrano_De> <---works on RHEL in real life.
[03:15] <genii> Logomachist: Unfortunately I need to leave the computer soon for sleep (will just appear /away however) and probably will not be able to give prolonged assistance further tonight. I will return however in 11 hours for a period of 8 hour stretch, during any time then you can re-contact me on the same subject...if you have not been helped by then
[03:15] <tony7> wait
[03:15] <Cyrano_De> tony7: In ubuntu it is /etc/init.d/ssh
[03:15] <Cyrano_De> Sorry
[03:16] <Rosey> anto9us: thank you
[03:16] <tony7> tony@tony-desktop:/$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh status

[03:16] <Biovore> Cyrano_De: me too..  ( * Crys *)
[03:16] <supercharger> is there a utility that will tell me what motherboard is in my system?  I thought there was somethign that would identify the system specifics.
[03:16] <Logomachist> Genii: Thanks for the help so far
[03:16] <supercharger> I want o upgrade my cpu.
[03:17] <Cyrano_De> supercharger: sudo dmidecode |more

[03:17] <Cyrano_De> tony7: ssh -vv localhost
[03:17] <Cyrano_De> Darkebrz: Any luck?
[03:17] <bastidrazor> tony7: ssh localhost   ..is the correct way to test ssh. you would need to create keys for the command you typed to work
[03:18] <bastidrazor> !ssh | tony7
[03:18] <tony7> ssh connect need priv0
[03:18] <ZoeyMarie> Can anyone tell me why I  can't change the sample rate in JACK to 44100? It perpetually stays at 16000, no matter what I put in setup.
[03:19] <tony7> i think the problem lays with the keys
[03:19] <mezquitale> tony7, how are you trying to login?  you want to type a password when you login?
[03:20] <tony7> no pw
[03:20] <rejohn> Has ubuntu made Firefox 3.5 available for U & KU 9.04?  If not, why not?
[03:20] <thiebaude> !ff35

[03:20] <Cyrano_De>  ZoeyMarie Have you seen this page?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=339970
[03:20] <anto9us> ZoeyMarie, if no-one here can answer then try asking in #jack
[03:20] <tony7> you cant log in without a password
[03:20] <tony7> ?
[03:21] <Cyrano_De> tony7: It should ask you for a password
[03:21] <thiebaude> tony7, yes, if you have automatic login
[03:21] <mezquitale> tony7, that is not what I asked
[03:21] <tony7> ill paste it
[03:21] <anto9us> tony7, you need to keep ssh secure, password is the default method, there are others but it can get complicated
[03:22] <tony7> http://paste.ubuntu.com/277557/
[03:22] <mezquitale> it is not complicated at all to configure ssh as securely as you want
[03:23] <bastidrazor> tony7: ssh is not running hence the connection refused. follow the steps in !ssh
[03:23] <ZoeyMarie> Cyrano_De; anto9us; Thanks for the resources, I'll try those. ;)

[03:24] <ZeuZ> Anyone owning a macbook? How do you get the pipe ( | ) when the keybinding is broken? I mean, ALt-GR+1 won't get it, though it will on Mac OS X.
[03:24] <ZeuZ> The keymap has been set to correct one.
[03:25] <intruder_> what is the impact on performance if im using the ubuntu usb-creator compared to actually installing it on a usb key ?
[03:25] <ZeuZ> Apple (intl) and has been applied system wide.
[03:25] <techie> help, my application windows are opening with the title bars behind the top panel
[03:25] <mezquitale> ZeuZ, do apples have 2 ALT keys as dell laptops??
[03:25] <Cyrano_De> techie: hold the alt key then click and drag
[03:26] <ZeuZ> mezquitale, yes, but it's more of an ALT LEFT, ALT RIGHT.
[03:26] <ZeuZ> I refer to it as Alt-GR because of costume.
[03:26] <techie> Cyrano_De, is there any way to stop this from happening as they will keep doing if the issue isnt fixed
[03:26] <mezquitale> ZeuZ, is it working with the ALT LEFT?
[03:27] <Cyrano_De> techie: You can autohide the panel.
[03:27] <Cyrano_De> techie: Many apps "remember" the last screen size and position

[03:28] <Adoptu> I am unable to configure my wireless USB adapter with my 32-bit ubuntu server edition 9.04, using ndiswrapper. I put the software zip in my home directory, unzipped, and use the command "ndiswrapper -i  ~/wg121v200/netwg121.inf" and it displays the text "couldn't open /home/username/wg121v200/netwg121.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 219"
[03:29] <anto9us> m3onh0x84, this is from boot CD or hard drive?
[03:29] <tony7> the private key is set to 0640 permisson.....what shud it be

[03:30] <Roasted> Can you install Ubuntu on a flash drive? I'm not talking about making a flash drive act like a LiveCD - But I mean to actually have an actual install on a flash drive that I can boot anywhere on any PC that supports USB boot?
[03:30] <shawn_> mezquitale I got my motherboard to recognise 5.7 GB of RAM by updating my Bios :)
[03:30] <m3onh0x84> report is: missing modules cat /proc/modules ; ls /dev
[03:30] <Rev1500> thats cool
[03:30] <Cyrano_De> tony7: Your .ssh folder should be rwx-----
[03:31] <m3onh0x84> I use Ubuntu 9.04 always upgrade
[03:31] <mezquitale> shawn_, told ya it was the BIOS, after someone else posted the results from dmesg, it looked like it was a BIOS issue
[03:31] <Flannel> Roasted: Yes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installing%20on%20external%20or%20RAID%20hard%20disks
[03:31] <bastidrazor> tony7: you should be using ~/.ssh instead of /etc/ssh/
[03:32] <Cyrano_De> Roasted: System->Administration->USB Startup Disk Creator
[03:32] <shawn_> mezquitale Well Im really happy I got it sorted out I just wanted to thank you for your time could you pass that onto DasEi and ozzmannt if they are around :)
[03:32] <Roasted> Cyrano_De - that's not what I want. That makes the flash drive act as a LiveCD. I want to know if I can actually put a real live Ubuntu install, an actual working copy like you would on a regular computer, except boot it from the flash drive.
[03:33] <thiebaude> !usb
[03:33] <anto9us> m3onh0x84, boot from Live CD and check the partition for errors
[03:34] <mezquitale> shawn_, thats OK no need to thank, this is Ubuntu's official support channel, if you ever have an issue with ubuntu someone will help you as long as you ask, all in one line off course so others can follow
[03:34] <m3onh0x84> yes, but cd report can not check partition mounting :D
[03:34] <monokrome> Anyone know how to fix this after dist-upgrade? /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: sysklogd is broken or not fully installed
[03:34] <thiebaude> monokrome, which ubuntu version?
[03:34] <m3onh0x84> monokrome: u can type dpkg -configure -a
[03:34] <powermac-radeon-> how do i find how much VRAM i have on powerpc 9.04?
[03:35] <shawn_> Hmm.. I heard the 64 bit version of Ubuntu works better with virtualization is that true?
[03:35] <Cyrano_De> monokrome: sudo dpkg-reconfigure configure sysklogd
[03:35] <genii> monokrome: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=syslogd&mode=exactfilename&suite=jaunty&arch=any       shows some possible candidates of what package might be broken, you could try something like: sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename

[03:36] <Logomachist> genii: I've poked around but I can't remember the exact command I used to create the image, I just know I spanned it across a bunch of files with names like xaa, xab, xac, xdd, ect....
[03:37] <monokrome> I will try that genii... Thanks :)
[03:37] <anto9us> Roasted, yes you can do that, just choose that as installation target and make sure you also install grub onto it (this is easy to miss)
[03:38] <powermac-radeon-> how do i find how much VRAM i have on powerpc 9.04?
[03:38] <m3onh0x84> mike: you should not login as root
[03:38] <mezquitale> powermac-radeon-, install system  monitor
[03:38] <powermac-radeon-> ok
[03:38] <monokrome> genii: Installing inetutils-syslogd seems to have fixed it :) thanks
[03:39] <beatbreak> why doesn't fdisk -l work on a clean 9.04 install?
[03:39] <powermac-radeon-> mezquitale: will that tell me what video card driver im using?
[03:39] <bastidrazor> beatbreak: are you using sudo?
[03:39] <Roasted> anto9us - Yeah I just did that and grub seemed to have gone to the HDD in the spare system I have. So instead I just disconnected the HDD and I'm installing to a flash drive FROM CD right now... thanks for the tip, I think thats what happened with my goofup before
[03:39] <m3onh0x84> can I use another linux system check ubuntu partition ?
[03:39] <beatbreak> bastidrazor, oh dear god
[03:40] <fotoflo> hey is there a FOSS tool that does what yousendit.com does?
[03:40] <shawn_> mezquitale Is it true the 64 bit version of Ubuntu will work faster with virtualization?
[03:40] <mezquitale> powermac-radeon-,  no, so you basically want to find out how much memory you have in your video card?
[03:40] <powermac-radeon-> yes
[03:40] <powermac-radeon-> and the driver
[03:41] <mezquitale> shawn_, i do not know the answer to that one, if somebody knows the answer they will reply\
[03:42] <mezquitale> powermac-radeon-,  sorry i thought you meant ram, maybe someone might the answer to that one, ask again in a few minutes, I dont know the answer to that one
[03:42] <shawn_> Alright
[03:43] <Gilboman007> how do your reset the root password if you cant remember the password you put in the first time?
[03:44] <ZeuZ> from a user that can do sudo, sudo -s and then passwd
[03:44] <Cyrano_De> powermac-radeon-: Does sudo lspci -vvv |more give you enough?
[03:44] <durt> !password
[03:44] <monokrome> Gilboman007: If you have access to the server hardware, you can boot onto a live CD, chroot, and run passwd from there... Assuming you don't have sudo rights
[03:44] <Logomachist> BAK. IM just crashed.
[03:46] <genii> Logomachist: If it made a series of files, you can do like: sudo -i        to temporarily gain root. Then cd to the dir which holds the series of files. Then something like: cat xaa xab xac xad >/dev/sdX#             then after: exit   Important to name all the files and in exact order
[03:46] <D-rew> Can I disable mounted device icons from showing up on the desktop? I already have the StacksPlugger in AWN monitoring my mounted devices.

[03:48] <alazyworkaholic> I'm having a problem whenever I try to play games (tremulous, supertuxkart...) After about 10 minutes of play my keyboard & mouse no longer work in the game, & nothing I do can close the game window & get back to normal desktop, but I can still ctrl-alt-F#, ctrl-alt-backspace or REISUB. Any idea what the problem is?
[03:48] <bastidrazor> D-rew: yes, in gconf-editor  .. let me find the full route to go.
[03:48] <Logomachist> genii: I don't understand that last part. "Import" ?
[03:48] <mezquitale> alazyworkaholic, do you have compiz enabled?
[03:48] <alazyworkaholic> mezquitale: yes
[03:49] <powermac-radeon-> Cyrano_De: it does not tell me the driver though
[03:49] <D-rew> clear
[03:49] <mezquitale> alazyworkaholic, try disabling compiz and see what happens
[03:49] <D-rew> ugh
[03:49] <genii> Logomachist: I didn't say anything about "import" . I said it is important to name all the files it made, and in the exact order they were made, if you do the command I give
[03:49] <stinky> my fat wife uses ophcrack to get my account password, how do I keep her from deleting my porn links? TIA :)
[03:49] <genii> Logomachist: Perhaps the right side of my message is scrolling off your screen
[03:50] <leandrodeassis> lol
[03:50] <mezquitale> stinky, get a divorce, problem solved
[03:51] <stinky> not a bad idea mezquitale  :)
[03:51] <powermac-radeon-> put you porn links on a USB key
[03:52] <Cyrano_De> powermac-radeon-: It does not have a "Kernel driver in use:" line at the bottom of the vga section?  Add another v to that
[03:52] <anto9us> D-rew, bastidrazor it's /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible :)
[03:52] <RaviResck> hahahahahaha
[03:52] <powertool08> stinky: disable cd/usb boot in bios, password the bios, lock the computer case so it can't be opened except by you.
[03:53] <thiebaude> stinky, a seperate user account
[03:53] <bastidrazor> D-rew: and there you have it.. as anto9us  stated.
[03:53] <Hadi> Hey
[03:53] <stinky> thanks powertool08 , thiebaude  :) some great ideas :)
[03:53] <starwind> could someone give me the command to remove the mozilla nightys  please :)
[03:54] <starwind> it's a ppa btw
[03:54] <thiebaude> stinky, if you have a floppy put your bookmarks on it
[03:54] <Hadi> i deleted my upper panel mistakenly can somebody tell me how to recover it ?
[03:54] <bastidrazor> !panels | Hadi
[03:54]  * thiebaude likes the usb idea
[03:55] <powermac-radeon-> Cyrano_De: it does, it says radeonfb. is that driver libre?
[03:55] <thiebaude> stinky, do you have a laptop?
[03:55] <Hadi> ubottu i can't run terminal
[03:55] <Cyrano_De> powermac-radeon-: Yes, the none libre is flgrx
[03:55] <powermac-radeon-> oh ok
[03:56] <mezquitale> Hadi, use "alt-f2"
[03:56] <powermac-radeon-> im doing dual screen on the live cd
[03:56] <powermac-radeon-> worked nicely
[03:56] <Rev1500> how do i change the permmisons on dir ?
[03:56] <stinky> no thiebaude , I like your USB key idea though :)
[03:56] <mezquitale> !permissions
[03:56] <powermac-radeon-> !radeonfb
[03:57] <Cyrano_De> powermac-radeon-: The radeon libre drivers work quite well even at high resolution.  As long as you do not need 3d.
[03:57] <thiebaude> stinky, im glad my wife knows nothing about computers,lol
[03:57] <Hadi> thanks dude
[03:57]  * thiebaude now i'll stay ontopic
[03:57] <powermac-radeon-> what about the new radeon driver? will this work with my card?
[03:58] <harisund>  I have Windows XP on a 160GB hard disk. It is not partitioned, all 160GB is entirely C:\. However, I am using only around 40GB. Is there anyway I can partition the hard disk while still keeping Windows? I think I start with a defragment, and after that what next?
[03:58] <rejohn> What is _your_ recommendation regarding upgrading from Firefox 3.0 to FF 3.5 - Is it worthwhile, valueable, better than 3.0?
[03:58] <thiebaude> harisund, yes
[03:58] <Cyrano_De> powermac-radeon-: It depends on which card you have.  I don't think they will be retiring chipsets from the radeon driver very quickly.
[03:58] <mezquitale> harisund, you want to use gparted
[03:58] <prince_jammys> harisund: you use a partition editor such as gparted to resize the partition.
[03:58] <thiebaude> harisund, use the live cd
[03:59] <harisund> thiebaude, mezquitale prince_jammys all right, I will give that a try then I just don't want to lose windows
[03:59] <Rev1500> thx for the link i see what i was doing wroung now thx
[03:59] <thiebaude> harisund, just install side by side and your ok
[03:59] <anto9us> harisund, make sure to shut windows down properly (no hibernate) and the installer can resize the windows partition for you
[03:59] <user01> hello, how can I install emerald themes?
[03:59] <Cyrano_De> harisund: ALWAYS run checkdisk before you do any partition resizing.
[03:59] <mezquitale> harisund, if you lose it it's no big loss, just make sure you back up your data though :)
[03:59] <thiebaude> harisund, and dont touch ntfs,lol
[03:59] <Cyrano_De> harisund: Start with a clean filesystem and you have a better chance of ending with a clean filesystem.
[04:00] <harisund> mezquitale, this is a eee 900, i don't have an external DVD drive. Getting to install Windows without a CD rom drive is a pain, Linux not so much
[04:00] <thiebaude> harisund, you got a usb drive
[04:00] <bastidrazor> !emerald | user01
[04:00] <thiebaude> ?
[04:00] <harisund> yes
[04:00] <m3onh0x84> where is ro file system document ?
[04:00] <m3onh0x84> thánks
[04:00] <thiebaude> !unetbootin
[04:01] <harisund> thiebaude, I know unetbootin and I was going to use that. Just that if I lose Windows, installing Windows off a USB disk is a chore
[04:01] <user01> bastidrazor, do you know what is the current alternative?
[04:01] <thiebaude> harisund, you wont lose windows, just follow the instructions
[04:01] <harisund> thiebaude will do. and obviously i don't want to install on ntfs, or i would have used wubi
[04:02]  * thiebaude wubi is another story for another day
[04:02] <bastidrazor> user01: the factoid says there are no known supported alternatives and i don't of any alternative regardless of supported or not. compiz with ccsm is highly configureable. it takes a bit of tweaks to get nice themes
[04:02] <thiebaude> harisund, you can install to a hard drive with unetbootin
[04:03] <thiebaude> brb
[04:04] <m3onh0x84> so, how to add unetbootin to grub ?
[04:04] <m3onh0x84> I want to multi boot betwen unetbootin with grub
[04:04] <thiebaude> m3onh0x84, i never did that, i dont know how
[04:05] <thiebaude> m3onh0x84, i've used unetbootin many times

[04:09] <anto9us> rejohn, you can install and try it yourself without upsetting firefox 3
[04:10] <cellofellow> user01: there is a (beta) version of Flash for 64bit Linux.
[04:10] <eowk223> how do i force emacs to run in the terminal i run it in, like it runs when i ssh into my machine
[04:10] <user01> mezquitale, I tried downloading the .deb package, but it is not compatible
[04:10] <cellofellow> user01: or you can play YouTube videos directly in Totem if you're so inclined.
[04:10] <user01> cellofellow, where can I get it?
[04:10] <CITguy-Artemis> can anybody help me troubleshoot problems with an external hard drive?
[04:10] <cellofellow> user01: good question...
[04:10] <Cyrano_De> eowk223: type vi in your terminal
[04:11] <Cyrano_De> eowk223: J/K
[04:11] <thiebaude> CITguy-Artemis, what is your question?
[04:11] <user01> :(
[04:11] <thiebaude> CITguy-Artemis, my bad i just seen your question
[04:11] <CITguy-Artemis> I am having an issue with my 1TB WD My Book external hard drive.
[04:12] <CITguy-Artemis> I initially mounted it in Xubuntu to transfer files to it and somehow there was an input/output error
[04:12] <CITguy-Artemis> Xubuntu showed the transfer successful, but the hard drive isn't registering anything about the directory
[04:13] <eowk223> Cyrano_De: lol, i def expected to hear that
[04:13] <user01> cellofellow, http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on-ubuntu-64bit.html
[04:13] <eowk223> definitely, sorry
[04:13] <CITguy-Artemis> Neither nautilus nor thunar display the directory
[04:13] <CITguy-Artemis> I can see the following in terminal:
[04:13] <CITguy-Artemis> d?????????  ? ?    ?        ?                ? ogg
[04:14] <Cyrano_De> CITguy-Artemis: is there a lost+found folder on the drive.
[04:14] <rejohn> anto9us: thx - do you use it?  do you recommend ff 3.5?
[04:14] <Strife89> Would it be reasonably safe to go ahead and install the Karmic beta for daily use?
[04:14] <Ben64> oi, how do i turn off mousekeys
[04:14] <purpzey> Can someone help me out, I am trying to turn on CTRL + ALT + BKSPC to restart X, and I read the release notes for Jaunty and it says to type "dontzap --disable" in terminal, but when I do that I get the error "The program dontzap is not currently installed. . ."
[04:14] <durt> user01, a 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer' should bring in 64-bit flash
[04:14] <CITguy-Artemis> no
[04:15] <bastidrazor> !dontzap | purpzey
[04:15] <user01> how can I open gdesklets? I got the error: failed to execute child process"gdesklets" no such file or folder
[04:15] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: Is that directed at me?
[04:15] <anto9us> rejohn, yes, it's a bit quicker, I also use noscript, adblock and betterprivacy
[04:15] <bastidrazor> purpzey: sudo apt-get install dontzap
[04:15] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: no, it was a reply to Cyrano_De
[04:15] <purpzey> bastidrazor: Thanks.
[04:15] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: Ah.
[04:16] <Cyrano_De> !fsck
[04:16] <shawn_> Is there an adobe flash player plugin for AMD64 architecture?
[04:16] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: Incidentally, do you have an opinion about the stability of the Karmic beta? I'm thinking about going ahead and doing a clean install with it.
[04:16] <Cyrano_De> CITguy-Artemis: I would unmount the drive and follow the fsck instructions above
[04:17] <CITguy-Artemis> Cyrano_De: Ok, i'll give it a try
[04:17] <Clip52> lol bot rox
[04:17] <lucas__> hey guys
[04:17] <Clip52> !apt-get
[04:17] <Clip52> :D
[04:17] <Cyrano_De> Strife89: Does your job/financial well being depend on your computer being stable and not losing data?
[04:17] <Strife89> !karmic
[04:17] <lucas__> I have been working on my internet connnection all day and it finally works
[04:17] <lucas__> it was through comcast and their router anyone know why it took so long?
[04:17] <fotoflo> is there anything like a FOSS version of yousendit.com out there? Please help!
[04:17] <cellofellow> user01: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html <- that may be the flash player 64bt.
[04:18] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: I'm running 8.10 and I'll probably do a fresh install with 10.04
[04:18] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: I won't touch 9.x
[04:18] <Cyrano_De> Strife89: notice the "WILL break" part....
[04:18] <Strife89> Cyrano_De: Somewhat, but I do have Windows on another partition.
[04:18] <lucas__> me too!
[04:18] <lucas__> lol
[04:18] <user01> cellofellow, I already installed it
[04:18] <lucas__> gosh thank god
[04:18] <user01> cellofellow, thanks
[04:18] <lucas__> I friggin hate Winblows!
[04:18] <Strife89> Cyrano_De: So, bad idea to install it now?
[04:18] <Cyrano_De> CITguy-Artemis: Yeah, 8.10 was WAY more stable than 9.04 have been for me.
[04:18] <lucas__> cause thats what it does
[04:18] <lucas__> lol
[04:18] <cellofellow> user01: trying to load it but my Internet is too slow
[04:18] <Tactical_Chicken> Microshaft
[04:19] <lucas__> yeah exactly
[04:19] <user01> how can I open gdesklets? I got the error: failed to execute child process"gdesklets" no such file or folder. I uninstalled-reinstalled, but still the same problem :S
[04:19] <lucas__> I tried to connect to internet with Winblows and it wasn't working so comcast told me there is something wrong with my computer
[04:19] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis, Cyrano_De: I couldn't really use 8.10 on this machine. I couldn
[04:19] <Cyrano_De> Strife89: That is up to you and how comfortable you are at gambeling.  I am not going to run it anytime soon on my main workstation/laptop.
[04:19] <lucas__> guess what it was Winblows
[04:19] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis, Cyrano_De: I couldn't really use 8.10 on this machine. I couldn't get Wi-Fi working.
[04:19] <Tactical_Chicken> lol ya
[04:20] <shawn_> What is Ubuntu 9.10 going to be like?
[04:20] <Tactical_Chicken> furry
[04:20] <soreau> user01: How did you install gdesklets?
[04:20] <Cyrano_De> shawn_: Like 9.04 but more so
[04:20] <Strife89> Cyrano_De: I will follow suit and stick with the safe side. I can wait a month.
[04:20] <fotoflo> can anyone answer this quick question? IS there a tool out there that works like yousendit that i can run on my own server?
[04:20] <Tactical_Chicken> use synaptic package manager
[04:20] <user01> soreau, using the add/remove from applications
[04:20] <soreau> user01: Does 'which gdesklets' show any output?
[04:20] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: What wireless card are you using?
[04:20] <shawn_> Cyrano_De I mean are there any big changes planned?
[04:20] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: Er....
[04:21] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[04:21] <Cyrano_De> shawn_: Faster booting, newer kernel, new versions of gnome and that other desktop.
[04:21] <cellofellow> shawn_: not much different from 9.04, except a new (though still orange) theme and a new App Store to replace Add/Remove Applications. That's the thing with 6mo releases, they are incremental.
[04:21] <user01> soreau, bash: /usr/bin/gdesklets: /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[04:21] <j> my flash player keeps freezing help
[04:21] <Strife89> cellofellow: Oh, Lord. App Store?
[04:21] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: and it wouldn't work in 8.10?
[04:22] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: Nope.
[04:22] <shawn_> cellofellow.... App...... Store..... As in pay?
[04:22] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: how old is your PC?
[04:22] <soreau> user01: That's weird
[04:22] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: Unless I missed something.
[04:22] <cellofellow> Strife89: hadn't heard of the new Ubuntu App Store?
[04:22] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: About 8-9 months.
[04:22] <Tactical_Chicken> i have similar probs... i have to run a bunch of sudo commands everytime i boot up
[04:22] <Strife89> cellofellow: Nope.
[04:22] <Cyrano_De> Strife89: I will not use anything but Intel wireless cards for the foreseeable future myself.
[04:22] <soreau> user01: Actually, do you have python 2.5 installed? python --version
[04:22] <cellofellow> shawn_: as far as I know no, but I'd actually welcome it. Donate to upstream devs on open source projects, and pay for commercial Linux apps.
[04:22] <Strife89> Cyrano_De: This is a laptop, so neither will I. :P
[04:23] <Cyrano_De> Strife89: The last Dell wireless card I got shafted with was based on an Atheros chip and it was never stable.
[04:23] <user01> soreau, 2.6.2
[04:23] <lucas__> maybe thats my problem
[04:23] <Strife89> Cyrano_De: This is a Toshiba machine.
[04:23] <lucas__> sort of wish i bought a mac
[04:23] <durt> shawn_, no, not at all, that would be against the GPL and oss.
[04:23] <Guest17539> my flash player keeps freezing help
[04:23] <user01> soreau, could it be the fact that I use ubuntu in 64 bit?
[04:23] <soreau> user01: That's the problem. It's looking for python 2.5 but you have 2.6 installed.
[04:23] <shawn_> Cellofellow I donated 50 dollars to Ubuntu two weeks ago
[04:23] <shawn_> Cellofellow do I do donate
[04:24] <Tactical_Chicken> i got the touchscreen to work and the fingerprint reader on my tabpc
[04:24] <shawn_> Cellowfellow so*
[04:24] <user01> soreau, ohh ok, any idea on how to fix it?
[04:24] <soreau> user01: Can you run any other python app like 'ccsm' for example?
[04:24] <Tactical_Chicken> what a chore that was researching
[04:24] <cellofellow> Strife89: what it is is that Apple's iPhone App Store took the basic concepts of a Linux repository and then made it slick so now the Ubuntu guys what to slicken a Linux repository to immitate Apple.
[04:24] <Cyrano_De> shawn_: I'd expect it to be more like the android app store.  Many free, many pay, some donate....
[04:24] <cellofellow> shawn_: that's fine
[04:24] <user01> soreau, yes, it runs
[04:24] <Strife89> cellofellow: Ah.
[04:24] <Sakara> Looking for a way to have multiple ubuntu machines authenticate logins against one machine? Any suggestions?
[04:24] <soreau> user01: Then I'd say it's a bug with gdesklets. You need a version of it that is for python 2.6
[04:25] <shawn_> So is there a Flash player for 64?
[04:25] <user01> soreau, hmmm
[04:25] <histo> shawn_: yes
[04:25] <soreau> ! flash | shawn_
[04:25] <Strife89> Cyrano_De, CITguy-Artemis: Anyway, I badly screwed up my graphics drivers due to an experiment of sorts, so I'm reinstalling clean, Karmic or no.
[04:25] <Cyrano_De> !ldap |sakara
[04:25] <user01> soreau, is there any other desklets app?
[04:25] <matt-> Could anyone help me remove the wine folder from GNOME's Applications menu?  Alacarte's delete function did not work.
[04:25] <mezquitale> Sakara, you can use samba for that
[04:25] <soreau> user01: screenlets
[04:25] <Tactical_Chicken> shawn... i am using ubuntu 64 and it installed
[04:26] <Tactical_Chicken> er...i was using it i mean
[04:26] <Sakara> mezquitale, seems silly to use a linux backend windows protocol with linux clients
[04:26] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: It's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you'll just be back where you started.
[04:26] <Sakara> is there a nice way to do it natively
[04:26] <Strife89> Cyrano_De, CITguy-Artemis: This machine has a 64-bit CPU. Aside from the ability to use 4+ GB of RAM, are there any advantages to using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu? Any notable downsides?
[04:26] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: don't use it
[04:26] <Tactical_Chicken> ya...you can't run nero
[04:26] <anto9us> Sakara, network authentication links here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers
[04:26] <Tactical_Chicken> lol
[04:26] <mezquitale> Sakara, LDAP would be a better choice
[04:26] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: Not very stable?
[04:27] <CITguy-Artemis> Strife89: the problem with 64-bit isn't the OS, but the lack of 64-bit applications
[04:27] <matt-> Strife89: it fixes the 2038 problem
[04:27] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: Ah.
[04:27] <Strife89> matt-: Sorry, but the what?
[04:27] <user01> soreau, thanks
[04:27] <soreau> user01: no problem
[04:27] <matt-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem
[04:28] <Slinkeey> Hello,
[04:28] <cellofellow> CITguy-Artemis: not so much in Linux. Since most Linux code is open source 64bit compatibility is just a recompile away. It's just closed source stuff like Flash that is harder to get on 64bit.
[04:28] <Guest17539> my flash player keeps freezing help
[04:28] <Slinkeey> I have ubuntu 9.04 and at times my keyboard seams to go a little wacky when using it.. I will type and in some apps (not this one) the cursor will jump up to another location......
[04:29] <CITguy-Artemis> cellofellow: yeah, I realize that but I'd rather have a .deb or something that takes the hassle out of it
[04:29] <Strife89> matt-: Ah.
[04:29] <Cyrano_De> Strife89: If you want to run some VMware appliances.  Some of them are 64bit only.  Otherwise if you do not really use that 4GB of ram or can not install more there is no reason to run 64bit and several reasons not to.
[04:29] <Strife89> matt-: Makes sense.
[04:29] <neil_d> I have postfix setup :)  but something strange is happening :(  it seems that mail sent to root is ending up in /var/mail/nobody I expected it to be in /var/mail/neil is there something wrong with the setup?
[04:29] <CITguy-Artemis> cellofellow: do you know of any performance advantages to 64-bit?
[04:29] <Strife89> Cyrano_De: Note taken.
[04:29] <mezquitale> what is the technical term when you use a server  as a repository of user logins and their passwords?
[04:29] <cellofellow> CITguy-Artemis: Ubuntu has 64bit repositories for a reason. Chock full of 64bit-compatible binary debs.
[04:30] <cellofellow> CITguy-Artemis: as far as I know just greater memory usage than 4GB.
[04:30] <metajemo> hello guys, I am having really hard time running adobe flash player. the package is already installed (and reinstalled a few times), the website still will not run the movie and will tell me i need to download the player. Any suggestions, please?
[04:30]  * Strife89 's laptop came with 4 GB of RAM installed.
[04:30] <CITguy-Artemis> cellofellow: so there's no noticeable difference if I'm running with 2GB of ram?
[04:30] <soreau> ! flash | metajemo
[04:30] <Slinkeey> 's keyboard does not like ubuntu....
[04:31] <soreau> MetaBot: You probably just need to install flashplugin-nonfree and restart your browser
[04:31] <soreau> metajemo:  You probably just need to install flashplugin-nonfree and restart your browser
[04:31] <anto9us> mezquitale, I'd call it an authentication server
[04:31] <soreau> Damn this channel
[04:31] <cellofellow> mezquitale: a directory server maybe? I think there are ways to do it besides directories though.
[04:31] <cellofellow> CITguy-Artemis: most likely no.
[04:31] <Lucas156> yeah
[04:31] <cellofellow> CITguy-Artemis: but if you had 8GB then 32bit cannot address >4GB of RAM, just how the memory addressing works. 32bits can address 4 billion unique addresses.
[04:31] <shawn_> !karmic
[04:31] <durt> mezquitale, domain controller in windows speak.
[04:32] <metajemo> ubottu, soreau: thank you, i will give it a try one more time
[04:32] <shawn_> What does ubottu mean by will break?
[04:32] <cellofellow> CITguy-Artemis: 64bit on the other hand gets you up into I think the petabytes, perhaps the exabytes.
[04:32] <CITguy-Artemis> cellofellow: I see. thx
[04:32] <Slinkeey> ls there a preffered channel for help with ubuntu?
[04:32] <Strife89> shawn_: It means Karmic is not very stable yet.
[04:32] <Cyrano_De> cellofellow: technically it can address more than 4GB but you have to install a PAE capable kenrnel from ubuntu server in order to address it.
[04:32] <Slinkeey> I am guessing that this is more general ubuntu talk
[04:32] <Strife89> CITguy-Artemis: I was reading. :)
[04:32] <Tactical_Chicken> yes....exabytes
[04:32] <josesito> is it possible to make scrolling pixel by pixel?
[04:32] <cellofellow> Slinkeey: this one
[04:32] <CITguy-Artemis> cellofellow: pointless for desktops? (imo)
[04:32] <Slinkeey> oh ok
[04:32] <Slinkeey> cool
[04:32] <cellofellow> Slinkeey: general talk is ubuntu-offtopic
[04:32] <mezquitale> durt, cellofellow anto9us I guess it's domain controller in windows speak, what software would you recommend to use as a domain controller in linux?
[04:32] <Slinkeey> ok
[04:32] <matt-> How do I delete folders in the applications menu without alacarte?
[04:33] <Strife89> Well, it's late, and I do need this computer operational tomorrow. Let the reinstall of Jaunty begin.
[04:33] <Cyrano_De> Slinkeey: This is the support channel.
[04:33] <Tactical_Chicken> lol
[04:33] <Slinkeey> Has anyone heard of the the curser bouncing around from line to line when typing at times?
[04:33] <matt-> Never mind
[04:33] <matt-> I got it deleted
[04:33] <kitty_> is there a way to "disable" the visibility of a network on a computer but still use it for an iptables software router?
[04:34] <cellofellow> CITguy-Artemis: at this point most OEMs don't sell PCs with more than 4GB of RAM because Windows 32 bit can't address more than that and Windows ISVs aren't shipping enough 64bit code so no one is switching to 64bit. Vicious cycle.
[04:34] <durt> mezquitale, same, just using samba, but it would still be for windows clients.
[04:34] <cellofellow> With both Vista and Windows 7 Microsoft promised they'd be 64bit only. They reniged on that.
[04:34] <anto9us> mezquitale, for compatibility at OS level samba might be a good choice
[04:35] <CITguy-Artemis> Cyrano_De: I'm getting a bunch of the same error in the syslog: "FAT: Directory bread(block ....) failed"
[04:35] <Cyrano_De> CITguy-Artemis: The only reason I am running 64bit is to support the Vmware environment @ work.  The vmware vMA appliance for vSphere 4 is 64bit only.
[04:35] <Slinkeey> how often is too often to ask a question?
[04:35] <Slinkeey> don't want to be a flooder
[04:35] <Tactical_Chicken> til ya get an answer
[04:35] <Tactical_Chicken> \lol
[04:35] <Slinkeey> hehehe
[04:35] <cellofellow> Slinkeey: try asking different questions
[04:36] <Slinkeey> i only have one
[04:36] <Slinkeey> :)
[04:36] <cellofellow> Slinkeey: I mean a different way
[04:36] <Slinkeey> oh ok
[04:36] <excalibas> Hello, I am trying to disable my touchpad folowing this article http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/ but it doesnt work. here is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d1e23392c Please help me to disable my touchpad.
[04:36] <anto9us> Slinkeey, depends how fast things are moving, if you're not getting an answer it may be a good idea to rephrase it
[04:36] <metajemo> flashplugin-nonfree installed, browser restarted, still it is not running
[04:36] <gentooma> hey - is here someone familiar with vlc ? can't get the web based stream to work:/
[04:37] <Slinkeey> Does anyone know anything about Acer Notebook keyboards acting funny with ubuntu? (Fine With Windows)
[04:37] <nanotube> Slinkeey: what do you mean by "bouncing around" ? is it possible that maybe you have a touchpad, that you are inadvertently activating with your palms?
[04:37] <basix> hi...has anybody recently installed Ubuntu on a MacBook pro 13" ?? I need some info. I just want to talk to someone who is actually using it on current generations of MacBooks...
[04:37] <cellofellow> Slinkeey: you sure it's the keyboard? What's the actual symptons, sans diagnosis?
[04:37] <Tactical_Chicken> send me the mac and i'll answer yur q's
[04:37] <Tactical_Chicken> lol
[04:37] <juand> hello.. I am trying to install php5-xcache on 8.10 server, but aptitude can't find the package.. How do I determine how to configure my sources.list to get this package?
[04:37] <Cyrano_De> CITguy-Artemis: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/peripherals-hardware/15026-usb-key-help-2.html <---Looks like it might have similar issue
[04:37] <zenlunatic> excalibas: have you tried system->preferences->mouse->touchpad?
[04:38] <gilboman007> you guys rock
[04:38] <cellofellow> (is there still a channel for ubuntu on apple hardware or did that die with the ppc port?)
[04:38] <nanotube> basix: you might do better by just asking the specific questions you have...
[04:38] <IcemanV9> metajemo: in the address bar, type about:plugins & check if flash is installed
[04:38] <cellofellow> juand: maybe it's named something else
[04:38] <Slinkeey> Well for instance I will type in mozilla (form, email... etc..) and I will end up typing at the top of the page when I was half way down the page
[04:38] <excalibas> zenlunatic, Woo, that was easy :) thanks a lot!
[04:38] <Slinkeey> The curser wil cut into the middle of my email and start typing...
[04:38] <cellofellow> juand: in aptitude just search for "php5-" and see what you get (/ key to search)/
[04:38] <nanotube> gilboman007: ehrm... thanks? :)
[04:39] <zenlunatic> excalibas: no proplem
[04:39] <juand> cellofellow: I've done that.. the package doesn't show up... it does on my 9.04 box
[04:39] <basix> nanotube, i'm looking to purchase a MacBook pro but I wont if it wont run Linux well. I'm a power user but I love the ease with which Ubuntu works so I am not looking at compiling and installing drivers on the MacBook. I'm ok with configuring / making some settings but I dont want to end up compiling my kernel...
[04:39] <anto9us> juand, add universe repository
[04:39] <metajemo> i have shockwave flash File name:  libswfdecmozilla.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
[04:39] <Cyrano_De> juand: You can try adding the backports repository as well in software-sources
[04:39] <Tactical_Chicken> i had a similar prob to that...but when i updated via Update Manager the jumping around went away
[04:40] <cellofellow> juand: ok...
[04:40] <gilboman007> ok no stupid question does yum updates still work or no
[04:40] <nanotube> juand: php5-xcache is in the universe repository. enable universe, refresh, try again
[04:40] <basix> nanotube, hence i need someone with recent experiences...
[04:40] <juand> anto9us: I have this: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main universe
[04:40] <gilboman007> been away from linux for a while
[04:40] <ValentineX> hello, how to install .bin.sh file?
[04:40] <anto9us> juand, now do sudo apt-get update
[04:40] <cellofellow> metajemo: swfdec isn't adobe flash.
[04:40] <Cyrano_De> gilboman007: yum is a redhat/centos/yellowdog package manager.
[04:40] <juand> anto9us: did.. still the sme
[04:40] <Cyrano_De> !yum
[04:40] <juand> * same
[04:40] <FrankQC> juand: do sudo apt-get update -y; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
[04:40] <IcemanV9> metajemo: that's old flash ... what's version of ubuntu?
[04:40] <Slinkeey> yeah the jumping is wierd...
[04:41] <nanotube> basix: ah... in that case... good luck. :) if nobody here has any direct experience, try googling around...
[04:41] <gilboman007> just made the switch to kubuntu still learning
[04:41] <cellofellow> ValentineX: first, don't. Find a deb or a source package before installing a bin.
[04:41] <cellofellow> metajemo: swfdec is actually based on gstreamer, while adobe flash is the official flash player.
[04:41] <Cyrano_De> !apt | gilboman007
[04:41] <anto9us> juand, it's definitely showing for me under universe/web
[04:41] <metajemo> IcemanV9: 9.04
[04:41] <Tactical_Chicken> slinkeey....does it happen in all apps with text input or just email and firefox?
[04:41] <Slinkeey> well notepad firefox
[04:41]  * cellofellow keeps meaning to install KDE on his box for a try. Haven't used KDE in about 3 years.
[04:41] <Cyrano_De> gilboman007: apt-get is similar to yum but 10 times faster and has more human readable errors.
[04:41] <nanotube> anto9us: juand: yea, showing here on 8.10 under universe, too...
[04:41] <Slinkeey> not in this pidgin
[04:41] <IcemanV9> metajemo: abode flash uses libflashplayer.so 10.0 r32
[04:42] <basix> nanotube, i looked at the wiki and it definitely looks promising but it seems a lot of people have had issues with alsa and sound on the notebook. they had to install stuff from the latest alsa snapshots which kinda discourages me...
[04:42] <Tactical_Chicken> bluetooth mouse?
[04:42] <Slinkeey> but the pidgin app might be limiting me to one line
[04:42] <Slinkeey> nope
[04:42] <juand> anto9us: I have these 2 lines:  deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main universe  AND deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main universe    is that all that's needed?
[04:42] <kitty__> ok, now as i was saying, is there a way to "disable" the visibility of a network on a computer but still use it for an iptables software router?
[04:42] <ValentineX> cellofellow: where can i find java wireless toolkit in .deb
[04:42] <Tactical_Chicken> er...wireless mouse i mean?
[04:42] <Slinkeey> nope
[04:42] <Tactical_Chicken> hhmm
[04:42] <Slinkeey> just touchpad
[04:42] <gilboman007> yeah you guys are alot more help you guys rock
[04:42] <cellofellow> ValentineX: good question...
[04:42] <Slinkeey> maybe i will disable it and plug in a mouse
[04:42] <Slinkeey> just for kicks
[04:42] <IcemanV9> metajemo: you need to remove mozilla flash (cannot remember the actual deb package name)
[04:42] <Tactical_Chicken> ya....i'd try that
[04:43] <metajemo> IcemanV9:right, what folder should i get this file into ?
[04:43] <nanotube> Slinkeey: well, try disabling it and see if cursor still 'bounces'... if not, you know the source of the problem.
[04:43] <Tactical_Chicken> could be touchpad sensitivity is up way too high but this should tell ya if that's the case
[04:43] <ValentineX> cellofellow: i also wanted .deb but failed to get that unable to get from googling
[04:43] <gilboman007> one last question am i still getting rpm or somthing else
[04:43] <cellofellow> MTec007: flashplayer-nonfree is the package that "installs" adobe flash. It does not actually include the flash player itself, though, but instead downloads it and installs in the debconf.
[04:44] <nanotube> gilboman007: apt uses .deb packages, not .rpm
[04:44] <cellofellow> MTec007: oops
[04:44] <gilboman007> thats why flash dosnt work
[04:44] <cellofellow> metajemo: that above was for you
[04:44] <gilboman007> i will get there one day guys i promise
[04:44] <cellofellow> gilboman007: if you must install rpm you use alien, but that's not recommended.
[04:44] <Slinkeey> Ok.. I think it is the touchpad
[04:44] <cellofellow> ValentineX: what is it that you are installing again?
[04:44] <Slinkeey> I just turned it off while typing
[04:44] <nanotube> gilboman007: to install flash, just install from the repositories package "flashplayer-nonfree"
[04:44] <Slinkeey> and it typed a paragraph in gmail
[04:45] <ValentineX> cellofellow: java wireless development toolkit
[04:45] <metajemo> cellofellow: got it
[04:45] <cellofellow> Slinkeey: that's supposed to be a "feature" that keeps you from moving the cursor while typing. It's in the synaptics driver.
[04:45] <cellofellow> brb
[04:45] <IcemanV9> metajemo: is this package, mozilla-plugin-gnash, installed? if so, remove it. adobe flash should be working.
[04:45] <Slinkeey> I turned it on and the problem returned
[04:46] <Slinkeey> my notebook has an on and off button for the pad
[04:46] <webbb82> im trying to install google gadgets but it says i need this Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libltdl3 (>= 1.5.2-2)
[04:46] <webbb82>  can someone help
[04:46] <Tactical_Chicken> prolly need a driver update for it
[04:46] <metajemo> IcemanV9: mozilla-plugin-gnash - free swf.... -not installed
[04:46] <Slinkeey> I think it is because the side of my thumb pumps the scroll up and down portion of my touchpad
[04:46] <Tactical_Chicken> what laptop do you have?
[04:47] <IdleOne> webbb82: install libltdl7-dev
[04:47] <Slinkeey> Cheap Acer Aspire 5536
[04:47] <Slinkeey> it does me well for the most part
[04:47] <IcemanV9> metajemo: ok. did you installed flashplugin-nonfree as cellofellow suggested some time ago?
[04:47] <ValentineX> hello i am special give me ubuntu 10.04 first of all
[04:48] <Tactical_Chicken> hhhmmmm  i installed ubuntu onto my wifes acer  model similar to yours.... it did the same exact thing....never did get it figured out
[04:48] <webbb82> IdleOne, it says i already have it installed
[04:48] <Tactical_Chicken> was running 8.04 back then
[04:48] <cellofellow> ValentineX: 10.04 isn't even in development yet. Only thing about it so far is that there is a new codename for it, Lucid Lynx.
[04:48] <gilboman007> um
[04:48] <Tactical_Chicken> which ubuntu you running now?
[04:48] <Slinkeey> 9.04
[04:48] <Tactical_Chicken> ah...
[04:48] <Slinkeey> it is not a bad notebook for the price
[04:48] <Tactical_Chicken> no it isn't
[04:48] <IdleOne> webbb82: hmmm not sure what to tell you now
[04:48] <remyo> From terminal, how do you show the contents of a folder (like an ls) without cding into it?
[04:48] <Slinkeey> runs a little hot
[04:49] <Slinkeey> great for the livingroom
[04:49] <cellofellow> remyo: ls /the/dir
[04:49] <metajemo> IcemanV9: flashplugin-nonfree, adobe-flashplugin,flashplugin-installer v 10.0.32.18... - installed
[04:49] <cellofellow> remyo: you can use relative paths too like ls ../anotherdir
[04:49] <durt> webbb82, how are you trying to install, google gadgets is in the repos.
[04:49] <ValentineX> lucid lynx hmm
[04:49] <remyo> cellofellow: Ah, that makes sense
[04:49] <cellofellow> remyo: more details with ls --help
[04:49] <remyo> cellofellow: Thanks
[04:49] <CITguy-Artemis> Cyrano_Zz: I managed to find the fix here: http://www.delodder.be/blog/linux/fat_get_cluster-invalid-cluster-chain-i_pos-0-fat-filesystem-panic-dev/
[04:49] <webbb82> really?
[04:50] <anto9us> remyo, ~ is a shortcut to your home folder too
[04:50] <Tactical_Chicken> yessss.... you have to pull the heatsink off the cpu and clean them off then apply Arctic Silver 5 paste to the cpu...  i did that and the temp dropped by 8 degrees in Celsius
[04:50] <CITguy-Artemis> that's the error i was also getting
[04:50] <webbb82> go here http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/07/07/get-google-gadgets-up-and-running-on-your-ubuntu-install/
[04:50] <IcemanV9> metajemo: you should be all set. shutdown the browser and start it again. check if it is installed by type about:plugins in the address bar
[04:50] <Anonyomus> hey guys. i'm looking for a new computer setup. would like to know, would raid0 or raid1 be better /noob
[04:50] <remyo> anto9us: I know, :)
[04:50] <Slinkeey> can i make the touchpad turn off while typing?
[04:50] <cellofellow> Seeing as 10.04 will be an LTS and the other two previous LTS releases were named for birds (Drake, Heron) I think Lucid Loon would have been better. Has a kind of oxymoronic irony.
[04:50] <Tactical_Chicken> don't see how
[04:51] <Tactical_Chicken> oh is yurs a button or a combo of the function button and a key to turn it off?
[04:51] <gilboman007> so tar.gz
[04:51] <Tactical_Chicken> don't remember my wife's comp anymore
[04:51] <Anonyomus> I'm looking to purchase a new server, should I go with raid0 or raid1? (server needs to have 3 vpses hosted on it)
[04:52] <Slinkeey> ayep
[04:52] <Slinkeey> button rught next to the pad
[04:52] <Slinkeey> right
[04:52] <Tactical_Chicken> hhmmm
[04:52] <IcemanV9> Anonyomus: try ask that question in #ubuntu-server?
[04:52] <bastidrazor> Anonyomus: #ubuntu-server may have better advice for servers.
[04:52] <Slinkeey> turn off the pad
[04:52] <Tactical_Chicken> dunno...unless yur a hard typer
[04:52] <anto9us> Anonyomus, raid0 for speed, raid1 for integrity
[04:52] <Slinkeey> I will do it manually for now
[04:52] <Slinkeey> with that button
[04:52] <gilboman007> work on this tomorrow going to bed
[04:52] <Slinkeey> when typing long stuff
[04:52] <cellofellow> Anonyomus: raid0 is fast, raid1 is safe
[04:53] <freenose> Is there a channel for jeos?
[04:53] <metajemo> IcemanV9: All tabs closed, browser restarted, about:plugins opened - still no other flash than shockwave. I also logged off and logged back in as was suggested by a website. it did not do the trick either
[04:53] <durt> freenose, searchirc.com
[04:53] <gilboman007> thanx again for your help
[04:53] <Tactical_Chicken> anonymous needs to read the meaning of raid0 and raid1 ...dontcha think?  very self explanatory
[04:53] <Tactical_Chicken> lol
[04:54] <neil_d> I am having trouble with postfix... I setup an alias file with the line "root: neil".... but when I use "sendmail root@localhost"  it put the email in the file /var/mail/nobody :(  I thought it was to put it in /var/mail/neil... what is wrong?
[04:54] <metajemo> libflashplayer.so is just not there
[04:54] <IcemanV9> metajemo: it should be working as you mentioned shockwave flash. that's odd. may i ask what's the url address so i can test to see if it's website side or your PC problem?
[04:55] <IcemanV9> espn.com is perfect site to test it
[04:55] <metajemo> IcemanV9: www.vbox7.com  - choose any video
[04:55] <Slinkeey> http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/03/howto-disable-touchpad-while-typing.html
[04:55] <Slinkeey> might try this
[04:55] <Slinkeey> i will try it
[04:55] <Tactical_Chicken> raid0= speed and more space and double the buffer....raid1= redundancy...meaning 1 hard drive fails..the other steps in to replace it...
[04:56] <stephen_> I need help with the printer interfacing with Ubuntu
[04:56] <IcemanV9> metajemo: it's working fine (even with the sound) .. so it's your PC.
[04:56] <zubin71> Hello, anybody here?
[04:56] <zubin71> i`d like some help
[04:57] <trip0> stephen_: printer interfacing in ubuntu is super easy.  what's your issue?
[04:57] <Tactical_Chicken> if yur using onbaord raid then good friggin luck with that.....not very stable for a server.... i recommend raid0 for the space and speed for virtualization
[04:57] <zubin71> i deleted my /var/lib/dpkg by mistake...
[04:57] <trip0> zubin71: just ask
[04:57] <webbb82> ok i got google gadgets installed but rite after it starts it will crash for some reason
[04:57] <Tactical_Chicken> just do it with an add-on raid card
[04:57] <zubin71> trip0: anyway i can restore it?
[04:58] <trip0> zubin71: you may want to copy that file back from a diff computer.  apt-get is broken isn't it?
[04:58] <Tactical_Chicken> or put in 4 hard drives and use both raid1 and raid0...lol
[04:58] <zubin71> trip0: very much
[04:58] <metajemo> IcemanV9: i doubt it is the pc itself, it is rather something i am not doing right. any ideas how to install libflashplayer.so manually?
[04:58] <IdleOne> webbb82: I just installed using this link from getdeb http://www.getdeb.net/download/4635/0
[04:58] <IdleOne> webbb82: seems to be stable here
[04:58] <stephen_> I have a old Xerox Docuprint N17 laser connected by USB.  I installed the driver and it appears just fine.  However, when I print, it prints out garbage and the spooler says that the printed is not connected.  Any ideas?
[04:58] <zubin71> trip0: isnt there any way i can rebuild the required files based on the fies which are already present?
[04:59] <IcemanV9> metajemo: i didn't meant your pc. just something's not right on your pc. this is far as i know.
[04:59] <zubin71> trip0: i dont have an ubuntu machine nearby, si its quite a prob..
[04:59] <fuzzybunny> hi everyone, anybody have any idea why i cant ping my laptop (192.168.1.65) from another laptop (192.168.1.67), but as soon as I ping 192.168.1.67 from 65, connectivity works both ways?
[05:00] <zubin71> any other ideas guys? problem is "i have to restore /var/lib/dpkg"
[05:00] <trip0> zubin71: how about a ubunt cd?
[05:00] <zubin71> trip0: you mean copy them from a live cd?
[05:00] <zubin71> trip0: but what bout all the additional packages i have installed?
[05:01] <deeproot> are there any gnome 2.28 packages for 9.04 yet
[05:01] <metajemo> IcemanV9: do you know where i can find all the others *.so files?the path to them? should they be in ~/.mozilla ?
[05:02] <webbb82> IdleOne, what ubuntu version are you running
[05:02] <IdleOne> webbb82: 9.04
[05:02] <webbb82> im on 9.10
[05:02] <IdleOne> webbb82: that probably explains it
[05:02] <trip0> webbb82: me too, aint it great
[05:03] <webbb82> ya i like it but i keep wondering if i should install jaunty so i can get things like google gadgets to work
[05:03] <IdleOne> webbb82: 9.10 is having a hard enough time running it's own gadgets :)
[05:03] <rnk> Question: How do I get automake 1.11 installed on Ubuntu Jaunty?  It's coming for Karmic.
[05:04] <Flannel> webbb82: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic support
[05:04] <trip0> rnk automake 1.11 is in jaunty backports
[05:04] <krdyt> i just installed winxp on an already dual booted ubuntu machine, when i loaded ubuntu live and reinstalled grub, i didnt get my grub menu back, can anyone help me with that?
[05:04] <webbb82> i know n o one talks in there
[05:04] <stick_figure> trip0, is there a line in my sources.list to uncomment?
[05:04] <krdyt> i have jaunty and xp on one HDD and intrepid on another
[05:05] <trip0> stick_figure: yes, uncomment the backporst one
[05:05] <trip0> :P
[05:05] <IceMansicle> I have a question. I currently have my compy setup with two partitions. one setup as XP and one as Ubuntu. I was using it to test it out. how do I drop XP and combine the partitions
[05:05] <trip0> IceMansicle: use gparted
[05:05] <IcemanV9> metajemo: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[05:05] <IdleOne> webbb82: probably because they are dealing with xorg issues and pulseaudio issues, google-gadgets is low on the totem pole
[05:05] <IceMansicle> thanks trip
[05:05] <Flannel> IceMansicle: Fire up a liveCD, delete the windows partitions and expand the Ubuntu ones.  The only thing you might need to do then is tweak GRUB slightly
[05:05] <webbb82> ya
[05:05] <Shinka> Is Ubuntu 9.10 stable enough to be used ? I'm on a ThinkPad laptop and graphics are terribly slow, apparenly this problem is solved in Ubuntu 9.10...
[05:06] <IdleOne> !karmic | Shinka
[05:06] <IcemanV9> metajemo: i gotta sign off; need sleep for being primary on-call. i hope you can get it working. good luck.
[05:06] <IdleOne> Shinka: wait another month till it is released
[05:06] <lstarnes> Shinka: it hasn't been officially released yet, but it's in the late alpha stages and will likely enter beta soon
[05:07] <IdleOne> lstarnes: on the 1st
[05:07] <IdleOne> on or about*
[05:07] <krdyt> which grub mbr do i want to reinstate in that case?
[05:08] <stick_figure> no joy, the backports (jaunty-backports) line is uncommented, I did apt-get update, and I can't install automake-1.11
[05:08] <LinuxGuy2009> I was wondering if anyone knows what it signifies when a package has the "+" symbol in the name? The language packs to be specific is what i am speaking of. When I put new updates onto my flashdrive updates repository disk and then go and try to install them all, they all seem to install fine except for the language packs. Synaptic always throws a broken package fit with them and am forced to download them. I need this for offline package management.
[05:09] <krdyt> anyone able to point me into the right direction?
[05:10] <deeproot> does anyone know of any documents on how to upgrade 9.04 to gnome 2.28?
[05:10] <darkham> krdyt, what's the problem?
[05:10] <LinuxGuy2009> I dont understand why it wants to keep downloading the exact same language pack that i already have on the repo flashdrive for updates. Only thing i can think of is maybe the + in the name signifies to always look for a new version online maybe?
[05:10] <Flannel> deeproot: Wait for 9.10
[05:10] <MattC99> hey guys.
[05:11] <Tvmbledown> So, I have an interesting question.
[05:11] <Tvmbledown> One I've scoured a number of sources for - and so far, no luck.
[05:11] <krdyt> i had 2 installs of ubuntu, jaunty on one HDD, interepid on another. i needed win xp for adobe photoshop so i installed winxp onto the drive that jaunty is on
[05:11] <Tvmbledown> How can I install a program (let's say Singularity) to a flash drive, such that it can be played on other Debian systems?
[05:11] <krdyt> DarkHam now i need the grub to list them all
[05:12] <MattC99> i just installed 9.04 and my drivers dont work.. how can i make all the special effects work with out drivers?
[05:12] <Tvmbledown> Alternately, how can I put something a flash drive so that I can INSTALL it to another Ubuntu box - one without any kind of network?
[05:12] <darkham> krdyt, what problem it have?
[05:13] <Tactical_Chicken> killed his jaunty boot prolly
[05:13] <Tactical_Chicken> lol
[05:13] <krdyt> i dont even get my grub menu anymore to select which os to boot darkham
[05:13] <Tactical_Chicken> cuz mbr got overwritten
[05:13] <krdyt> im on jaunty right now
[05:14] <krdyt> i dont care about the jaunty, i want intrepid. all files are there for all 2 OS
[05:14] <anto9us> Tvmbledown, maybe compile it from source, install to flash, make sure it has dependencies on target system or in your target folder, or see http://portableapps.com/apps
[05:15] <Tvmbledown> I'm a little behind the learning curve on dependencies, honestly...
[05:15] <Tactical_Chicken> ya.... i made that mistake b4....i just used a live cd and grabbed all my files off and then reinstalled linux
[05:15] <stick_figure> blech, I give up, I just added the karmic line to sources.list and now I can install automake1.11.  Unfortunately it depends on upgrading a bazillion things.
[05:15] <krdyt> i want to install my MBR grub with intrepid on it
[05:15] <Tactical_Chicken> seemed easier to me than tryin to figure out how to repair the grub
[05:16] <anto9us> Tvmbledown, maybe have a bootable flash drive with your app already installed
[05:16] <krdyt> title		Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-13-generic (on /dev/sda1)
[05:16] <krdyt> root		(hd0,0)
[05:16] <krdyt> thats my jaunty partition
[05:16] <darkham> krdyt, watch grub.conf
[05:16] <Tactical_Chicken> windows MUST go on first and then linux.....so that linux can write the mbr
[05:17] <Tvmbledown> anto9us: That's actually a BRILLIANT idea.
[05:17] <dragonlyre_AWAY> 0
[05:17] <stick_figure> Tactical_Chicken, I think you can just say 'grub-install /dev/sdX' or some similar
[05:17] <anto9us> Tvmbledown, it's sometimes a good idea to look at things sideways :)
[05:17] <Tactical_Chicken> from the livecd?
[05:17] <krdyt> /boot/grub/stage1
[05:17] <stick_figure> that will put grub back in the boot sector
[05:18] <krdyt> but im not sure which partition to restore
[05:18] <sak> will any one tell me how 2 download yahoo messenger for upuntu
[05:18] <stick_figure> either from the livecd or from any Ubuntu
[05:18] <krdyt> i have 2 grubs and only use 1. win xp over wrote them
[05:18] <stick_figure> I don't really know these things for sure, but look up grub-install and check how you're supposed to use it
[05:18] <Tactical_Chicken> doh@me
[05:18] <krdyt> well, took control, they are still there untouched
[05:19] <stephen_> any suggestions for my printer?|
[05:19] <krdyt> whats the command to tell me what drives i have?
[05:19] <sak> i want yahoo messenger for upuntu...
[05:19] <Tvmbledown> anto9us: Gratias tibi ago.
[05:19] <anto9us> sak, pidgin supports yahoo protocol and many others, all in one convenient application
[05:20] <BassKozz> Ever since I upgraded to Jaunty my Graphics performance has been absolute CRAP, and I can't even get compiz working... My laptop has an ATI Radeon X1400 graphics card.  It it my understanding that it's now using OpenSource drivers, and when I go to "System>Hardware Drivers" nothing shows up.  Am I SOL?
[05:20] <Tactical_Chicken> ya...pidgin is awesome
[05:20] <sak> can any one help me up here.......
[05:21] <Tactical_Chicken> sak: .... use pidgin
[05:22] <soreau> BassKozz: What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'?
[05:22] <Tactical_Chicken> look what anto9us said to you
[05:22] <sak> but i refer yahoo only was there any link 2 download it
[05:23] <lstarnes> sak: pidgin supports yahoo
[05:23] <Tactical_Chicken> no..yahoo does not exist..... if you want it to use yahoo in linux then you have to use pidgin
[05:23] <sak> k fine i try ........

[05:23] <BassKozz> soreau: http://pastebin.com/m3dbc991a
[05:23] <lstarnes> sak: you could also try running the windows version of yahoo's messenger in wine
[05:23] <Tactical_Chicken> LOL
[05:24] <Tactical_Chicken> bet he ends up likin pidgin better than yahoo client
[05:24] <soreau> BassKozz: Your drivers are b0rken. If you would like to come to #compiz and pastebin your X log, I will help you further
[05:25] <BassKozz> soreau: AWESOME... on my way...
[05:25] <remyo> Can you cat a file with color. Similar to grep --color?
[05:26] <Desconhecida> alguem fala portugues aqui???
[05:26] <Eevee> remyo: what would the colors be..?
[05:26] <stick_figure> ugh, adding that karmic line was a bad call.  Now my deps are all messed up, and things won't install.  Is there some kind of --force option?
[05:26] <lstarnes> !pt | Desconhecida
[05:27] <Desconhecida> lstarnes ^^ tkx
[05:27] <remyo> Eevee: I don't know. I was thinking very basic syntax highlighting
[05:27] <Tactical_Chicken> LOL
[05:27] <remyo> Eevee: Or at least something to break up code
[05:27] <Eevee> remyo: ahh, I just pipe to vim
[05:27] <webbb82> real quick whats the command to edit sources list
[05:27] <webbb82> gedit sourceslist?
[05:27] <lstarnes> webbb82: graphically?
[05:27] <webbb82> eithor
[05:28] <lstarnes> webbb82: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:28] <webbb82> is there a best way
[05:28] <remyo> Eevee: Ok, I just find using cat quicker than opening vi and then exiting
[05:28] <webbb82> lstarnes, thank you
[05:28] <lstarnes> webbb82: how you edit it is usually a matter of personal preference
[05:29] <Eevee> remyo: yeah it's a minor roadblock.  there might be some way to coerce vim to act like a pager (or a plugin/script to do that)
[05:29] <kitty_> one of my network "clients" for my iptables software router is a hardware wireless ap, and everytime a wireless client tries to connect to the internet, i block it with some weird errors, anyone want to slap me in the right direction?

However, I've been trying to find a way to auto-mount it with read/write permissions without having to chmod the mount point directory manually.  as a work around, i currently mount the partition in my home-directory.  is this possible?

[05:36] <abhilashm86> i installed jaunty, in compiz, i enabled top, bottom images, also different wallpapers in each worlspace, but nothing is seen, but cube and other effects are working, help please
[05:36] <abhilashm86> i checked with ./comiz-check, no problems
[05:37] <losher> kitty_: 'martian' ip addresses are either unroutable or owned by someone else. Check who allocates addresses to your clients and make sure it's not handing out duplicates or illegal addresses...
[05:37] <soreau> abhilashm86: Set the cubecaps in Cube Reflection and Deformation and disable nautilus from drawing the desktop with 'gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false'
[05:37] <webbb82> i need some ideas i want to have a most used commands on hot key so if i need to know how to do a command i can just hit a key combo and see my list
[05:37] <abhilashm86> why is images not been seen in top and wallpapers?
[05:38] <kitty_> losher its a hardware ap using its own dhcp server
[05:38] <ZykoticK9> abhilashm86, FYI only -- you can't have different wallpaper on each workspace unless you disable Nautilus from drawing your background (meaning you can't see ANY icons on your desktop)
[05:38] <losher> kitty_: dunno what else to tell you, you've already heard everything I know about martians...
[05:38] <abhilashm86> soreau: yea i disabled it, in gconf-editor->nautilus
[05:39] <soreau> abhilashm86: and?
[05:39] <abhilashm86> soreau: i got the error, i've mounted my hard drives in different names, now i'm changing it in compiz!! thanks i'l just do n reply..........
[05:40] <mack> Would anyone be willing to talk me through adding a native Linux driver to my system.  I've just transitioned from windows
[05:40] <nomad111> hi, is anyone running enlightenment desktop? where can i get engage for e17?
[05:40] <Jordan_U> mack: What hardware?
[05:41] <losher> kitty_: either the dhcp server is misconfigured and handing out non-unique or otherwise illegal addresses, or whoever is objecting to the martian addresses is giving you false positives. I hope this helps...
[05:41] <Terry> i need hep with windows 7, where to go?
[05:41] <mack> dlink wireless usb
[05:41] <user01> what is the name of the deskbar which is mac style?
[05:41] <Jordan_U> Terry: ##windows
[05:41] <Terry> how
[05:41] <Terry> ##windows
[05:41] <Jordan_U> Terry: type "/join ##windows" and hit enter
[05:41] <ZykoticK9> user01, Avant? AWN for short?
[05:41] <mack> I have the Linux driver, which they provided, but don't know how to add it.
[05:41] <metajemo> i know have shockwave 9 and 10 plugins for mozilla. how can i remove the 9 version, olease
[05:41] <Terry> thanx...done.
[05:42] <mack> Terry?
[05:43] <Jordan_U> mack: If a driver came with the hardware then that driver is also most likely already in Ubuntu.
[05:43] <ZykoticK9> metajemo, they are both probably from the same plugin -- you kinda want both to be able to play both's contents
[05:43] <mack> It wouldn't recognize the device.
[05:43] <losher> mack: what device is it?
[05:43] <mack> I can install with ndiswrapper, but I'd like to use the native driver
[05:44] <Jordan_U> mack: What is the chipset of the card ( you should be able to find it with lsusb ) and what is the name of the driver they provide?
[05:44] <kruykaze> how do i upgrade to karmic and keep my apps installed?
[05:45] <Flannel> kruykaze: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks.
[05:45] <ZykoticK9> mack, are you sure your Dlink isn't supported through Ubuntu's native Hardware Drivers interface?  Have you first installed all available updates?
[05:45] <losher> kruykaze: if you have to ask, you aren't ready for karmic anyway...
[05:46] <kruykaze> :)
[05:46] <mack> I pulled the driver from their site, I can find chipset if you really need it, driver's name is wpa_supplicant-0.5.10.tar.gz .  I am really new to Linux, so I don't know what to do with a tar .  Silly, I know.
[05:46] <kruykaze> I was not going to do it until the stable is out
[05:47] <theblue> hi all.
[05:47] <losher> kruykaze: that'll be a while if 9.04 is anything to go by...
[05:47] <mack> I've installed all available updates already
[05:48] <ZykoticK9> anyone happened to get the game Total Annihilation working through wine on a 64bit 9.04?  it works flawlessly for me under 32bit 9.04.
[05:48] <theblue> i've got an hp mini 1035nr, and i'm running UNR Jaunty, and i'm not getting any audio at all.
[05:48] <Bluey> TheBlue -- Hey
[05:48] <theblue> yo, Bluey
[05:48] <kruykaze> losher, the question just popped in my mind so asked
[05:49] <losher> kruykaze: fair enough. My advice is, it's really not ready for primetime, so don't bother yet...
[05:49] <metajemo> ZykoticK9: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 and Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32. Do i really need them both?
[05:49] <baio> hola
[05:50] <baio> hi
[05:50] <Jordan_U> kruykaze: When a new version is released you will see an offer to upgrade in System > Administration > Update Manager
[05:50] <Bluey> jello
[05:50] <mack> Zykotick9, when I use the native Hardware Drivers Interface, nothing stated, no proprietary driver in use
[05:50] <ZykoticK9> MetaBot, i'd recommend you just leave them both - but it's up to you
[05:50] <kruykaze> losher, it was more of a general question every 6mo i upgrade but use the cd to avoid problems.how do i at least keep a list of the installed stuff to reinstall it
[05:50] <ZykoticK9> mack have you run all the updates with a wired connection?
[05:50] <Jordan_U> mack: wpa_supplicant is not a driver
[05:51] <legend2440> kruykaze: in terminal type   sudo update-manager -d
[05:51] <losher> mack: have you tried installing the wpasupplicant package in the repositories?
[05:51] <webbb82> whats your fav txt editor??????
[05:51] <ZykoticK9> webbb82, OT (but vi rules!)
[05:51] <losher> kruykaze: there's a trick to getting the list of installed stuff so you can reinstall later. I
[05:51] <kruykaze> legend2440, that always breaks stuff for me like my wifi drivers for example etc..
[05:51] <baio> hola
[05:51] <baio> hola
[05:51] <webbb82> ZykoticK9, whats ot
[05:51] <Jordan_U> mack: It won't help you at all if you card isn't recognized ( and a better supported version of wpa_supplicant comes with Ubuntu )
[05:52] <Sakara> fresh install of 9.04 on boot "GRUB " floods the screen over and over again. want to try use a different boot loader. can anyone help me do this
[05:52] <lstarnes> webbb82: off-topic
[05:52] <webbb82> whats vi then
[05:52] <lstarnes> webbb82: an editor
[05:52] <Jordan_U> mack: Can you pastebin the output from running "lsusb" in a terminal?
[05:52] <ZykoticK9> webbb82, opened ended questions like "what's your fav..."
[05:52] <lstarnes> webbb82: vim is usually used instead of vi, but it's based on vi
[05:53] <losher> kruykaze: there's actually a trick to getting the list of installed stuff so you can reinstall later. It's in the dpkg man page at the end under EXAMPLES. See dpkg --get-selections
[05:53] <mack> Jordan - Just for the heck of it, how would I install a file like this?  Do I use a command line?
[05:53] <webbb82> ya i like to stimulate conversationg that way
[05:53] <Jordan_U> Sakara: I would try using grub2
[05:53] <drebes> hello there.
[05:53] <ZykoticK9> lstarnes, webbb82 OH ya - in Ubuntu the FIRST thing you need to do is install VIM - arrow keys are very ugly with the default!
[05:54] <theblue> i've got an hp mini 1035nr, and i'm running UNR Jaunty, and i'm not getting any audio at all.  what should i do?
[05:54] <webbb82> ZykoticK9,  vim is the whole name?
[05:54] <lstarnes> webbb82: yes
[05:54] <lstarnes> webbb82: it's short for vi improved, but is almost always called vim
[05:55] <webbb82> cool thanks
[05:55] <Jordan_U> mack: You generally shouldn't install this type of file, instead you should install with apt-get of fing a .deb file. If you want to try installing that file, which will break things since wpa_supplicant is alreadu installed, you would have to use the terminal
[05:55] <krdyt> where is the ubuntu help chan?
[05:55] <lstarnes> krdyt: this is it
[05:55] <krdyt> oh
[05:55] <losher> mack: you would uncompress and untar it, then compile it and install it. A lot of work for a complete beginner and probably the wrong thing to do...
[05:56] <ZykoticK9> webbb82, do NOT install vim!  It's not mean for 'normal' human beings to use.  it's a very old vashioned editor, you wont like it at all!  but the vi/emacs rivalry in the 'nix world have been going on forever - now there are lots of choices for text editing :)  enjoy linux
[05:56] <krdyt> can you help me make my windows partition show up in grub lstarnes ?
[05:56] <kruykaze> dpkg --get-selections >myselections ?
[05:56] <drebes> I'm trying to recompile the kernel packages in Jaunty, but I can't install the linux-kernel-devel package.
[05:56] <lstarnes> krdyt: I am not good at configuring grub. sorry
[05:57] <hey_boy> guys, which is the best backup program in Ubuntu 9.04. For personal files.
[05:57] <krdyt> it under /dev/sda3 and jaunty is in /dev/sda1-5, anyone know?
[05:57] <hey_boy> I see a lot of them
[05:57] <losher> kruykaze: that's the one. Try it. It will generate a list of all currently installed packages and their states.
[05:57] <kruykaze> awesome thanks i will try it as soon as i get home :)
[05:57] <Sakara> Jordan_U: Can grub2 be installed onto a system that is unbootable?
[05:58] <lstarnes> krdyt: sda3 is probably (hd0,2)
[05:58] <Jordan_U> mack: Something like "sudo apt-get install build-essential && sudo apt-get build-dep wpasupplicant" then "tar -xf filename.tar" then "cd < directory that was just created >" then "./configure && make && sudo make-install"
[05:58] <mack> Jordan, Losher- I got it, bad idea.
[05:58] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Yes
[05:59] <losher> mack: and the wrong solution for your problem. What is the device you're trying to get working?
[05:59] <ZykoticK9> krdyt, if jaunty is really sda1-5 - that means sda1 sda2 sda3 sda3 sda4 sda5, why does it take up 5 paritions when it usuually only takes 1?
[05:59] <theblue> webbb82, by the way, i'd recommend installing vimtutor as well.
[05:59] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Do you know what chroot means?
[05:59] <krdyt> jaunty is sda 1 2 4 5
[05:59] <mack> It's a Dlink usb wireless card
[05:59] <krdyt> xp took sda3
[06:00] <Sakara> to some extent
[06:00] <krdyt>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

[06:00] <FloodBot3> krdyt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:00] <krdyt> sorry ;\
[06:01] <krdyt> there is not sda4
[06:01] <losher> ZykoticK9: krdyt: actually, I would expect 3 partitions to be in use. root, home and swap. Given that 4 is an extended partition, and 5 is a logical partition inside it, things look normal...
[06:01] <ZykoticK9> krdyt, jaunty is technically on sda1 and a linux swap is on sda5
[06:01] <Sakara> Jordan_U: I simply mount the drive from a live session chroot and apt-get grub2?
[06:01] <mack> Does this make sense:  Runing the scripts accomplish all operations including building up modules
[06:01] <mack> from the source code, installing driver to the kernel and starting up the nic.
[06:01] <mack> 	1. Build up the drivers from the source code
[06:01] <mack> 	  make
[06:01] <mack> 	2. Install the driver to the kernel
[06:01] <FloodBot3> mack: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:01] <mack>           make install
[06:01] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Almost
[06:01] <ZykoticK9> mack, you need to use Pastebin
[06:01] <mack> Thanks Floodbot3
[06:02] <losher> krdyt: didn't grub install an entry for windows automatically when you installed Ubuntu?
[06:02] <krdyt> ok so to add that to my grub list what would i do for it to boot xp?
[06:02] <krdyt> no it screwed everything up
[06:03] <Jordan_U> Sakara: You First have to bind mount /proc /sys and /dev, so if your Ubuntu partition is mounted to /media/disk that would be "sudo mount -o bind /proc /media/disk/proc && sudo mount /dev /media/disk/dev && sudo mount /sys /media/disk/sys"
[06:03] <losher> krdyt: which version of Ubuntu did you install?
[06:03] <krdyt> i have 2 HDD with 2 ubuntu installs, i halved the jaunty since i dont use it often then it overran all and didnt add to anything
[06:03] <grim4593> does anyone have a good suggestion for a wireless usb stick? I'd prefer someone have one that is verified to work in linux before i go out and buy one.
[06:03] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Sorry, forgot the "-o bind" in the second two mount commands
[06:03] <krdyt> i installed XP over Jaunty
[06:03] <krdyt> well not over but on same disk seperate partition
[06:04] <cchen> grim4593: i am using Linksys WUSB610N
[06:04] <vxr> krdyt:  do u use wubi or what ?
[06:04] <grim4593> ok
[06:04] <mack> Okay, thanks guys, I guess I'm going to educate myself for a while and come back when I'm not quite so ignorant.  Peace!
[06:04] <krdyt> no vxr
[06:04] <Jordan_U> grim4593: PCI cards are much more likely to be supported than USB dongles
[06:04] <grim4593> does it work out of the box, or do you need mdis?
[06:04] <grim4593> i know.
[06:05] <vxr> krdyt: oh, oke.
[06:05] <krdyt> everythings been find since jaunty was released
[06:05] <cchen> grim4593: it works right out of box.
[06:05] <grim4593> okay. i'll look into it then
[06:05] <krdyt> then i used gparted live to halve my jaunty partition because i NEED xp
[06:05] <grim4593> well, i already have a dlink pci card that works great. i had a netgear usb adapter, but i had to give it to a friend.
[06:05] <ZykoticK9> grim4593, i keep a Netgear WG111v2 lying around just in case - which works under 9.04 for sure
[06:05] <krdyt> so xp is still here, just not in grub boot menu
[06:05] <grim4593> that is exactly what i had.
[06:06] <grim4593> i might jsut get another one.
[06:06] <losher> krdyt: you can try adding a windows xp entry by hand to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[06:06] <grim4593> hmm. newegg only has V3's
[06:06] <ag3ntugly> the alfa awus036h works with 9.04 :-)

[06:07] <Sakara> Jordan_U: chroot /media/ubuntu /bin/bad?
[06:08] <drebes> anyone has recompiled the kernel packages in ubuntu?
[06:08] <Eevee> I installed karmic alpha 6 on an acer aspire 1410, wiping the drive and partitioning it into / (ext4), swap, and /home (ext4).  it fails to boot with 'ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid> does not exist.'  but that is the correct uuid and it *does* exist according to the initramfs shell I'm dropped to
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Ok, now chroot in and "sudo apt-get install grub-pc"
[06:08] <pepee> tengo un USB bluetooth y no me anda bien desde que instalé blueman :(
[06:08] <Sakara> Jordan_U: ok awesome will try it

[06:08] <pepee> sorry, forgot this is for english
[06:08] <krdyt> im not sure where or how to add a windows loader in grub
[06:09] <powertool08> Is there a way to use samba without opening ports 139 and 445?
[06:09] <Jordan_U> Sakara: It will ask if you want to chainload grub2 or install it, since grub-legacy isn't loading chainloading won't work so choose the option to install grub2 replacing grub-legacy
[06:09] <Sakara> Jordan_U: makes sense
[06:09] <ZykoticK9> Eevee, i think you want the irc channel #ubuntu+1
[06:10] <pepee> I have a USB bluetooth adapter, but it doesn't work since i installed blueman :(
[06:10] <Eevee> I'm not sure it's strictly a karmic thing; googling turns up reports going back years, but never with a concrete cause or solution
[06:11] <krdyt> losher, here is my grubloader http://paste.ubuntu.com/277621/ would the last 5 lines work?
[06:11] <trpr> i haven't upgraded in awhile (running 7.10). whats the process for dist-upgrading to the latest version?
[06:11] <Sakara> Jordan_U: fingers crossed now. rebooting
[06:12] <krdyt> or should i use (hd0,2)?
[06:12] <Sakara> alright problem again
[06:12] <lstarnes> trpr: you might want to see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Gutsy
[06:12] <losher> krdyt: Yes, I would change root (sda3,0) to root (hd0,2)
[06:12] <losher>  
[06:12] <Jordan_U> Eevee: It probably is a karmic specific bug, please ask in #ubuntu+1
[06:12] <lstarnes> trpr: gutsy (7.10) is no longer supported, but it can be upgraded
[06:12] <Sakara> instead of the "GRUB " repeated over and over again i get "GRUB " and thats it

[06:14] <ZykoticK9> Eevee, I was really just trying to be polite as I have NO ideas on your specific problem AND typically when you are using any BETA versions of Ubuntu support in the main IRC channel is discouraged
[06:14] <Sakara> doesn't make sense that both grub and grub2 won't work

[06:14] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Do you only have one drive in your machine?
[06:14] <Sakara> I have 2 drives in there
[06:15] <Eevee> ZykoticK9: whoa, just hoping someone more familiar with the linux boot process might be around and wasn't aware of +1
[06:15] <krdyt> ill try losher brb.  that cant brick my install can it? im hoping a removal is worst case scenario
[06:15] <brummbaer> evening everybody. I'm having difficulty sharing a HP Deskjet F4200 printer from my Ubuntu machine with WinVista, and have already tried all the suggestions in the ubuntu docs and several 'jfgi' solutions. help!
[06:15] <Sakara> Jordan_U: can remove one of them its just files from an old windows install i am replacing with ubuntu
[06:15] <ZykoticK9> Eevee, hint for next time - don't mention your version right away ;)
[06:15] <Eevee> duly noted  8)
[06:15] <losher> krdyt: as long as you don't mess up the rest of the file, you should be fine. Make a copy of your /boot/grub/menu.lst before you edit, just in case...
[06:15] <trpr> lstarnes: thanks
[06:15] <Sakara> but at some point would like to have that drive in there to move users files back onto the machine
[06:16] <axle> lstarnes
[06:16] <Jordan_U> Sakara: It's worth trying without the other drive, in fact grub could have been installed to the second hard drive's MBR
[06:16] <axle> lstarnes: im asking their, im not sure they know
[06:16] <lstarnes> axle: well we most likely won't
[06:16] <krdyt> i did losher  brb. thanks
[06:16] <Sakara> ok thats
[06:17] <Sakara> a little weird but i guess possible
[06:17] <Sakara> will try and let you know
[06:17] <Sakara> only one drive plugged in Jordan_U and you were correct
[06:18] <Sakara> I now get a Hard Disk Error, DISK BOOT FAILURE message
[06:20] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Try bind mounting and chrooting again but this time run "grub-install /dev/sdX"
[06:21] <legend2440> .
[06:21] <Aalinux> man mkinitrd, mkinitrd command not found. Why?
[06:22] <Jordan_U> Aalinux: Use update-initramfs instead
[06:22] <Sakara> grub-install will install the default grub?
[06:22] <powerpc> what program is settings>admin>display?
[06:22] <powerpc> or prefs>display
[06:22] <lstarnes> Aalinux: or mkinitramfs
[06:22] <lstarnes> powerpc: gnome-display-properties?
[06:23] <Aalinux> I was trying to do this .  # mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.6.25 2.6.25 from http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html
[06:23] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Since you have the grub2 package installed in the chroot it will install grub2
[06:23] <Aalinux> Compiling kernel
[06:23] <Aalinux> kernel 2.6.31
[06:23] <Jordan_U> Sakara: You can install grub-lagacy first if you want
[06:23] <lstarnes> powerpc: it's contained in the gnome-control-center package
[06:23] <Guest36074> Hi all, can someone help me get my wireless working with UNR 9.04 on an acer aspire?
[06:24] <Aalinux> Jordan_U: update-initramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.25 2.6.25    is it ok ?
[06:25] <Sakara> its the drive Jordan_U not the partition on the drive as the parameter for grub-install??
[06:25] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Yes, it's the drive
[06:25] <Sakara> thanks
[06:25] <Jordan_U> Sakara: np
[06:27] <metajemo> guys, is there a way to leave a message for a user here?
[06:27] <Aalinux> Jordan_U: update-initramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.25 2.6.25    is it ok ?
[06:27] <Jordan_U> Aalinux: update-initramfs -c -k <kernel version>
[06:29] <Jordan_U> Aalinux: Or use mkinitramfs directly like mkinitrd
[06:29] <Aalinux> Jordan_U: What will be the complete command? It's linux-2.6.31,  update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.31  ,    Is it correct now?
[06:30] <Jordan_U> Aalinux: If the file in /boot is "vmlinuz-2.6.31" then yes
[06:31] <Aalinux> Jordan_U: Yes, there is a file named "vmliz-2.6.31"
[06:32] <AndIrc> hey
[06:32] <Jordan_U> Aalinux: I'm not sure if update-initramfs will find it if it's named vmliz rather than vmlinuz. Try it, it can't hurt anything
[06:33] <pepee> I have a USB bluetooth adapter, but it doesn't work since i installed blueman :(
[06:33] <pepee> who can help me?
[06:33] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Any luck with grub?
[06:33] <Sakara> Jordan_U: not yet
[06:34] <Sakara> still getting boot disk failures
[06:34] <pepee> # hciconfig hci0 up           Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)
[06:34] <Sakara> going to downgrade to grub-legacy
[06:34] <Sakara> going to do a fresh install actually now with only the one drive there
[06:35] <pepee> # hciconfig         hci0:   Type: USB         BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0        DOWN
[06:35] <shastorm> hi guys
[06:35] <myownserver> Can someone give me advise on my array?  http://pastebin.com/d5d0be164
[06:35] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Make sure that when you put the second drive back in the boot order is correct or grub will still be loaded from the second drive
[06:35] <myownserver> I'm trying to learn this and I'm missing something.
[06:35] <myownserver> Woops, wrong channel.
[06:36] <Sakara> Jordan_U: yup i will play around with that thanks
[06:36] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Also, for future reference there is an "advanced" option in the installer where you can choose what drive or partition grub should be installed to
[06:36] <Jordan_U> Sakara: np
[06:37] <pope22> I'm looking to install UNR 9.04 on my laptop. It's currently running on my netbook and desktop, but I've been running windows 7 on this one. Is there a way to do so, and preserve my files from windows into the Ubuntu install?
[06:37] <Sakara> Jordan_U: normally i do but was lazy this time because i knew i was going to wipe one drive completely i just let the installed handle it
[06:38] <kosmanthus> hi
[06:38] <accol> hi
[06:39] <pope22> no go on carrying windows files over into my ubuntu install?
[06:39] <Aalinux> Jordan_U: Typo, vmlinuz
[06:39] <DJIndy> hmmm
[06:39] <DJIndy> well this isn't working exactly...
[06:40] <Aalinux> Jordan_U: "(12:50:55 PM) Jordan_U: Aalinux: Or use mkinitramfs directly like mkinitrd"  Can you please post the complete command with mkinitramfs?
[06:40] <Jordan_U> pope22: If you choose to dual boot the installer should offer do import documents and settings from windows
[06:42] <pope22> if I dual boot, then manually transfer the files from the win partition to the ubuntu partition, and then expand the ubuntu parition to utilize the entire disk with gparted from the live CD, is there any (reasonable) chance of data loss on the new larger ubuntu partition?
[06:43] <Eevee> pope22: gparted wouldn't be very useful if it had a high chance of wrecking your partition while resizing!  that should be fine, I did the same thing when I first installed ubuntu
[06:43] <Lucas156> dual boot is the way to go
[06:44] <trakcyia> what is the command arguement for grep that causes the input to ignore special characters in the pattern?
[06:44] <ubuntu> hello I am using livedisc
[06:44] <Lucas156> welcome!
[06:44] <Lucas156> how you like it?
[06:44] <ALT-F4> it looks really nice
[06:45] <pope22> hmmm...is there any decrease in performance playing media from the windows partition inside of ubuntu?
[06:45] <ALT-F4> can it do dual monitors?
[06:45] <losher> trakcyia: man grep will tell you
[06:45] <Lucas156> what os u runnin
[06:45] <Lucas156> i think so
[06:45] <trakcyia> losher, yeah i've spent a good deal of time in there, i want to get this done
[06:45] <tj1111> how do you keep the screensaver from coming on when watching a video fullscreen in vlc?
[06:45] <mrgenericuser> alt-f4: yes, i'm running dual now...
[06:45] <tj1111> on karmic
[06:46] <ALT-F4> how do you make it do that?
[06:46] <losher> trakcyia: in mine, it's -F
[06:46] <ALT-F4> actually don't answer yet
[06:46] <ALT-F4> when it is done installing I will be back
[06:46] <Jordan_U> Aalinux: mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31 2.6.31
[06:46] <ynk> mrgenericuser, please do answer. i'd like to know.
[06:47] <trakcyia> losher thank you, i don't know how i missed that
[06:47] <mrgenericuser> it is easiest if you are running nvidia or ati binary drivers.  the drivers help you set it up.  else i think you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  there are tutorials out there for that...
[06:47] <ALT-F4> ah, the "restricted" drivers?
[06:48] <mrgenericuser> yes
[06:48] <ALT-F4> okay
[06:48] <mrgenericuser> if nvidia... run 'gksu nvidia-settings'
[06:48] <ALT-F4> that'd be it for me
[06:48] <ALT-F4> I'll remember that when I am finished installing
[06:49] <ALT-F4> thank you so much :)
[06:49] <mrgenericuser> yep
[06:49] <richardcavell> May I ask: What is the dialout group used for?
[06:49] <Sakara> Jordan_U: you might know the answer to this? is there a theme for ubuntu that makes it almost exactly the same as windows xp
[06:49] <Jordan_U> mrgenericuser: Most of the open source drivers support xrandr so you can use System > Preferences > Display to set up dual monitors without touching your xorg.conf manually
[06:50] <Sakara> Jordan_U: my users are older folks who don't like change all that much
[06:50] <Jordan_U> Sakara: It's not going to fool anyone but the redmond theme looks like the classic windows theme
[06:50] <ynk> i'm almost frightened to install the drivers for my graphics card, because whenever i do, my monitor goes blank and i am unable to use Ubuntu again. i then have to reinstall the whole darn thing!
[06:50] <mrgenericuser> kewl, haven't used open source vid drivers in a while.  like 3d hw accel and it wasn't available in open drivers when i started dualing
[06:51] <Sakara> Jordan_U: you will be surprised
[06:51] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Trying to fool them into thinking it's windows is probably counter productive
[06:51] <ALT-F4> do any of you use the windowmaker desktop environment?
[06:51] <Sakara> Jordan_U: IE to firefox changeover just had to make the icon for firefox the IE one and the complaining about the crap new internet stopped :D
[06:51] <Jordan_U> Sakara: I would only do it if they ask you to
[06:52] <ckc037> hi
[06:52] <ckc037> i got a sound problem
[06:52] <sebsebseb> ynk: which card?
[06:52] <Jordan_U> Sakara: What applications do they normally use in windows?
[06:52] <ckc037> when i installed virtualbox
[06:52] <Sakara> firefox
[06:52] <ckc037> Intel 965 Motherboard
[06:52] <Sakara> thats it
[06:52] <ALT-F4> they only use computer for internet?
[06:52] <ckc037> how to reinstall sound drivers
[06:53] <ynk> sebsebseb, an ATI Radeon HD 3200
[06:53] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Then you may be able to get away with the redmond theme
[06:53] <Sakara> Jordan_U: thanks :D
[06:53] <setuid> How can I disable some services from running each time my machine boots? Like mysql, apache, postfix, dovecot, etc.
[06:53] <sebsebseb> ckc037: You can set up sound for a virtual machine in the Virtualbox settings, also #vbox is the help channel for it
[06:53] <setuid> I want them available, but not every time I boot. How do I do that in a clean way?
[06:53] <sebsebseb> ynk: a pretty new card or?
[06:54] <MasterofPuppets> Anybody available to help me out with a problem really quickly?
[06:54] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Make sure to put a huge Firefox icon on the deskop, or if you absolutely want to kill baby penguins a large IE icon
[06:54] <sebsebseb> !ask | MasterofPuppets
[06:54] <mrgenericuser> i think radeon 3200 is usually integrated isn't it?
[06:54] <ckc037> thanks sebseb
[06:54] <Jordan_U> !boot | setuid
[06:54] <sebsebseb> ckc037: np
[06:55] <MasterofPuppets> sebsebseb: I just upgraded to Karmic, most recent everything, shut down the machine after the upgrade a few hours ago. Now, I turned it on, and it's logged in but half of the stuff isn't loading
[06:55] <ynk> sebsebseb, not at all. it's been around for a while now; i'd say no younger than a year old.
[06:55] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  MasterofPuppets
[06:55] <MasterofPuppets> sebsebseb:And, in system monitor, basically everything says "poll_schedule_timeout" in the waiting channel
[06:55] <MasterofPuppets> Is there any way to revert back to jaunty without deleting files?
[06:55] <sebsebseb> !downgrade |  MasterofPuppets
[06:56] <sebsebseb> MasterofPuppets: clean install
[06:56] <MasterofPuppets> Ick
[06:56] <sebsebseb> MasterofPuppets: having a seperate /home helps with those as well
[06:56] <sebsebseb> !home |  MasterofPuppets
[06:56] <MasterofPuppets> Do you think it would let me partition it while everything is hanging?
[06:56] <sebsebseb> MasterofPuppets: this isn't the channel for Karmic help, since the final hasn't been released yet
[06:56] <Sakara> Jordan_U:    =D after a while i changed it back to the firefox icon they complained until i showed then it was exactly the same thign when they clicked the firefox icon and IE icon *taps nose*
[06:57] <sebsebseb> MasterofPuppets: and I am not sure, and  you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[06:57] <MasterofPuppets> Argh, but update manager forced it on me! Lol
[06:57] <sebsebseb> MasterofPuppets: really?
[06:58] <richardcavell> Hey guys, does it matter if one reassigns the GID of the dialout group?
[06:58] <sebsebseb> ynk: ok are you trying to install a driver like this?  system > administration > hardware drivers
[06:58] <sebsebseb> ynk: or another way?
[06:58] <sebsebseb> ynk: also ATI is a bit bad with  Linux really,  as a result certain people have had ATI graphic card issues in 9.04 and that
[06:58] <sebsebseb> !ati |  ynk
[06:59] <setuid> Jordan_U, thanks, that was what I was after
[06:59] <ynk> sebsebseb, yes i am trying to install whatever drivers it is suggesting me. i had very little control over what it installed. i will check out the links. thanks buddy!
[06:59] <Jordan_U> setuid: np
[06:59] <MasterofPuppets> sebsebseb: Yeah, I was going to upgrade, but then I noticed it was quite rough for other users, so I didn't. But I had it marked to update security stuff automatically, and I think it just did...
[07:00] <sebsebseb> ynk: no problem
[07:00] <sebsebseb> MasterofPuppets: you mean karmic updates
[07:00] <sebsebseb> ?
[07:00] <MasterofPuppets> sebsebseb: No, the "install security updates without confirmation" box is checked
[07:00] <MasterofPuppets> Er, circle
[07:00] <ewp> yo i know its offtopic but if you have a night vision camera/goggles, go outside on a clear night. i bet you'll see a UFO!!! i just saw one tonight
[07:00] <Jordan_U> MasterofPuppets: That only makes sense if you changed the sources.list manually to karmic, which you shouldn't do
[07:01] <MasterofPuppets> Jordan_U: I was playing around a bit with that, so I'm probably at fault
[07:01] <MasterofPuppets> Well, looks like I'm doing a fresh install
[07:02] <brummbaer> anyone good w/ networking with Windows? having a hell of a time sharing a HP Deskjet w/ Vista
[07:02] <Lisoborsky> one question.... to make changes with GParted, i have to use the livecd?
[07:02] <sebsebseb> !cups |  brummbaer
[07:03] <ckc037> guys how to revert or reinstall sound drivers,
[07:03] <Lisoborsky> one question.... to make changes with GParted, i have to use the livecd?
[07:03] <sebsebseb> Lisoborsky: depends on what those changes are,  gparted can't do stuff to  partitions that are mounted
[07:03] <mrgenericuser> brummbaer, did you cut the security on the windows sharing?  are both systems on the same workgroup?
[07:03] <Lisoborsky> sebsebseb: i want to make a partition
[07:03] <sebsebseb> !gparted |  Lisoborsky
[07:03] <sebsebseb> Lisoborsky: and yes it's on the Ubuntu Live CD
[07:04] <brummbaer> yes mrgenericuser, both on same workgroup, dropped the firewall to make sure that's not the problem...
[07:04] <brummbaer> not sure what you mean re: security on windows sharing?
[07:04] <suji> what package need to download torrent file in Ubuntu?
[07:04] <Lisoborsky> ok thanks :D
[07:04] <sebsebseb> Lisoborsky: np
[07:04] <ewp> suji, transmission will download torrents
[07:05] <Sakara> Jordan_U: fresh install failed again "GRUB Hard Disk Error"
[07:05] <mrgenericuser> suji, use transmission, already installed applications>internet>transmission
[07:05] <Sakara> only one drive
[07:05] <suji> it won't work, when i add any torrent file nothing will happen.
[07:05] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Did you get that error during install or at boot?
[07:05] <Sakara> on boot
[07:06] <mrgenericuser> brummbaer, printer on linux share to windows?
[07:06] <Sakara> Jordan_U: I am running out of ideas
[07:06] <brummbaer> mrgenericuser, aye.
[07:07] <fallenpoet> suji - what do you mean nothing is happening? The torrent is not downloading or the torrent isn't showing in the program?
[07:07] <suji> the torrent is not downloading
[07:07] <Jordan_U> Sakara: This is at least a different error than before :)
[07:08] <brummbaer> confirmed printer and server settings set for sharing per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu
[07:08] <Sakara> this is true
[07:08] <fallenpoet> suji - did you check that the torrent isn't dead? or that your router isn't blocking it's port?
[07:09] <suji> fallenpoet: how to check that?
[07:09] <jacquesdupontd> hi
[07:09] <brummbaer> hey mrgenericuser, do you know offhand how to check system workgroup? i've just been setting the workgroup through smb.conf, just realized that probably doesn't affect cupsd
[07:09] <jacquesdupontd> i dont know why but my menu bar has disapeared
[07:10] <fallenpoet> suji - the port or if it's dead?
[07:10] <jacquesdupontd> and i think its since i installed emerald but not sure
[07:10] <jacquesdupontd> where do we set to have a menu bar or not
[07:11] <Sakara> somethign really funky up there Jordan_U. I suspect its hardware related. Its too hot today to be pulling things out of computers this will have to be a job for another time
[07:11] <optimus_t> what is the command to get the list of synaptic packages?
[07:11] <suji> fallenpoet: my listening port is 51413 and it said port is closed
[07:11] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Try upgrading to grub2 again, it might at least give a more helpfull error message4
[07:11] <Jordan_U> !clone | optimus_t
[07:12] <fallenpoet> suji - then you'll need to open that port on your rounter
[07:12] <Jordan_U> optimus_t: Is that what you wanted?
[07:12] <jacquesdupontd> so what about this menu bar is very annoying
[07:12] <optimus_t> Jordan_U: No way near
[07:12] <suji> fallenpoet: how to? i dn't know.
[07:13] <fallenpoet> suji - what router you have?
[07:13] <optimus_t> Jordan_U: But i dind not get u also.
[07:13] <Jordan_U> optimus_t: Ok, please try to explain more clearly what you want
[07:13] <Sakara> Jordan_U: Will do
[07:14] <optimus_t> Jordan_U: Just get an list of packages which are not yet installed on my machine
[07:14] <mrgenericuser> i think that would be fine, but i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268245  looks like default cupsd.conf only listens to local machine.  does that help?
[07:14] <suji> fallenpoet: i dn't know about that, it is office system. i dn't have my own system.
[07:14] <suji> fallenpoet:  here how to know?
[07:16] <addisonj> looking for support for a verizon wireless mobile broadband card, anyone gotten those to work?
[07:17] <losher> suji: sorry, but most companies don't want you downloading torrents on to office computers, and deliberately block ports so you can't do it...
[07:18] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Looks like that error is sometimes caused by a buggy bios. A bios update might solve it
[07:18] <suji> losher: oh! okey.
[07:18] <fallenpoet> suji - if you don't have access to the router then you won't be able to open the port. But here is a link when you have access to the router http://portforward.com/
[07:19] <techie> !language
[07:20] <mrgenericuser> brummbaer does changing cupsd.conf listning settings help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268245
[07:20] <suji> fallenpoet: is it won't affect any other things?
[07:21] <fallenpoet> suji - what do you mean?
[07:21] <suji> fallenpoet: sorry nothing...
[07:21] <fallenpoet> suji - ok
[07:23] <chuck_> Hello.
[07:26] <chuck_> Just wondering if anyone knew where a driver can be downloaded for a wusb54gc v.3 usb wireless adpater from linksys?
[07:28] <brummbaer> mrgenericuser, sadly no, that also doesn't do it.
[07:28] <brummbaer> i'm thinking maybe totally uninstall cupsd, samba, hplip, reinstall and start from scratch.
[07:29] <ricew> whats the best way to search google with  strading.com  on its url?
[07:29] <Sakara> Jordan_U: its quite an old system
[07:29] <mrgenericuser> can you share it the other way round?
[07:29] <Sushubh> 4GB swap, 15GB / and rest for /home
[07:29] <jacquesdupontd> i found the answer global menu applet
[07:30] <jacquesdupontd> thx
[07:30] <Sakara> Jordan_U: GA-7VA motherboards were terrible motherboards to begin with never mind 10 years on
[07:30] <und3rgr0undz3r0> Hey I cant boo tmy external CD drive, is there a boot floppy I can create to install Ubuntu?
[07:30] <sebsebseb> ricew: What's that?
[07:30] <ricew> sebsebseb-> im trying to use google to look for a url that contains strading.com
[07:30] <mrgenericuser> i have an hp 1020 that doesn't like linux and has to be shared from windows to work on both
[07:31] <sebsebseb> ricew: what's that for a website?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: you could create a boot floppy to kick off the boot on the CD I guess
[07:31] <Sakara> Jordan_U: grub2 gives same message + "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
[07:31] <und3rgr0undz3r0> ActionParsnip, how would I go about doing that?
[07:31] <ricew> sebsebseb-> yes, actually its something like  b???strading.com
[07:31] <und3rgr0undz3r0> ActionParsnip, Im using windows ATM
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: loading opera as we speak ;) lets see what jeeves knows
[07:32] <mechdave> und3rgr0undz3r0, yes, you can use a grub boot disk to boot into linux see --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:32] <sebsebseb> ricew: what kind of website is it?  also your question is off topic  #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:33] <ricew> sebsebseb-> yes it could be in off topic, just curious if one knows the quickest way to search such url with that string on it
[07:33] <sebsebseb> ricew: What is strading.com ?
[07:33] <chuck_> Anyone know anything about getting a driver for a wusb54gc?
[07:33] <brummbaer> well mrgenericuser, i owe you one.
[07:33] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Have you ever successfully installed linux with this motherboard?
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy
[07:33] <brummbaer> not sure exactly what it was, but it just went through.
[07:33] <brummbaer> w00t!
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: jeeves knows all
[07:33] <ricew> sebsebseb-> it has those string on the url, that is not the complete url
[07:33] <Sakara> Jordan_U: many moons ago yes then it became a windows xp workstation for a while now its going back to ubuntu and not wanting to do it
[07:33] <und3rgr0undz3r0> Thanks guys, im gonna give this another go
[07:34] <sebsebseb> ricew: oh
[07:34] <jacquesdupontd_> hm last question
[07:34] <Jordan_U> Sakara: What version of Ubuntu worked before?
[07:34] <mrgenericuser> awesome, glad it worked.... eventually......;)
[07:34] <jacquesdupontd_> i tried to use the remote desktop control between 2 of my computers
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: this is better: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManager
[07:34] <Sakara> Jordan_U: 5.04

[07:35] <ttyX> I've got a question regarding wireless nhetworking
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: sbm dosnt recognise usb cd drives
[07:35] <jacquesdupontd_> and from the laptop i can see the desktop and connect on it and my mouse is moving but it seems that any click does nothing
[07:35] <und3rgr0undz3r0> ActionParsnip, Tried SMB didnt work! and the link you sent me is for working on an ubuntu box, im using windows
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: the second link uses windows
[07:35] <Sakara> Jordan_U: will try lilo might work and/or give me more descriptive messages
[07:35] <adok> is it possible to pass more then one argument into a command in bash?
[07:35] <ricew> adok yes
[07:35] <chuck_> I've been working on my wireless adapter (unsuccessfully) for about 6 days now. :(
[07:36] <ttyX> for some odd reason it doesn't show my hotspot in under wireless networks
[07:36] <Sushubh> guys. how much space should i devote to / for a HDD size of 130GB
[07:36] <ttyX> is it normal?
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> chuck_: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network    ?
[07:36] <ricew> chuck-> which chip does your wifi card have?
[07:36] <spartacuz> hi all
[07:36] <adok> ricew, i would like to make something for ssh command, like ssh -l $user -p $port $ip
[07:36] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Is there a BIOS update available?
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> chuck_: actually use: udo lshw -C network | grep product    ?
[07:36] <und3rgr0undz3r0> SO the grub boot floppy will see my USB CD Drive and let me install Ubuntu?
[07:36] <RPS> will break?
[07:37] <ricew> adok thats perfectly okay, just watch out for bash expansion
[07:37] <ttyX> my wifi adapter gets detected fine
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: no SBM wont see usb cd roms
[07:37] <jacquesdupontd_> could someone answer me ?
[07:37] <jacquesdupontd_> i'm sure it's taking 2 minutes please
[07:37] <und3rgr0undz3r0> ActionParsnip, So i'm screwed?
[07:37] <ricew> !ask | jacquesdupontd
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> jacquesdupontd_: turn off desktop oeefects, is it better?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: could b=install from USB
[07:37] <chuck_> lshw:
[07:38] <adok> ricew, so in .bashrc this would work like... alias='ssh -l $user -p $port $ip'

[07:40] <ActionParsnip> chuck_: realtek make source code for drivers to allow you to compile them: http://tinyurl.com/ychl8w5
[07:40] <Sakara> Jordan_U: the bios update is a windows executable
[07:40] <sebsebseb> jussi01: ah ok
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: then go buy one for pence
[07:40] <und3rgr0undz3r0> im using anold laptop with no USB Boot support, 300 mhz CPU 256 ram on windows XP (not sure how it got on here)
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: otherwise, yes you are screwed
[07:40] <Bodsda> Hi, I am looking for a new music player. I do not like vlc or totem for music and rhythmbox is getting old, I also do not wish to have to install a bucket of kdelibs to be able to run it. Can anyone make some suggestions?
[07:40] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Generally you create a FreeDOS boot floppy for BIOS upgrades
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> und3rgr0undz3r0: you could take the drive out and buy a cable to install the OS in a regular PC, you can then transfer the HDD to the lapyop
[07:41] <jussi01> !players
[07:41] <jussi01> Bodsda: ^^
[07:41] <silv3r_m00n> I tried to install hsf modem driver >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Conexant   and after installation no sound .....how to reverse it ?
[07:41] <Jordan_U> und3rgr0undz3r0: Have you tried wubi?
[07:41] <Bodsda> jussi01: your personal preference out of those would be?
[07:41] <SemiSonic> Anyone know what the command lines are for Wubi.. I need to change the tmp directory it uses
[07:41] <und3rgr0undz3r0> Jordan_U, I want a full ubuntu computer, not the weird Wubi installer, this HD is only 6gb
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> SemiSonic: try: wubi.exe /?
[07:41] <Sakara> whats a floppy :D
[07:41] <balqiyah> j
[07:41] <ricew> SemiSonic-> i dont think  you can, its hard coded
[07:42] <jussi01> Bodsda: depends on the use case. banshee is nice, there are lots of nice ones - try them out!
[07:42] <SemiSonic> I have tried that
[07:42] <SemiSonic> bugger
[07:42] <Jordan_U> und3rgr0undz3r0: It's possible to go from wubi to a full install
[07:42] <Bodsda> jussi01: ok, cheers... just one other thing, can any of them be themed?
[07:42] <und3rgr0undz3r0> Jordan_U, Really? have you got a link?
[07:42] <jussi01> Bodsda: no idea, but I guess most of them respect gtk themeing
[07:42] <dehqan> good day everyone , what is the best way to connect from one ubuntu 2 another for having another command line ?
[07:42] <SemiSonic> Thanks
[07:43] <ricew> SemiSonic-> perhaps one you got it running you try the mount command the rebind /tmp
[07:43] <Bodsda> jussi01: yeah, ok cheers :)
[07:43] <ricew> SemiSonic-> perhaps once* you got it running you try the mount command the rebind /tmp
[07:43] <SemiSonic> Yep tried that :)
[07:43] <SemiSonic> set TMP=Xxxx
[07:43] <Jordan_U> und3rgr0undz3r0: There's also a Debian installer that will replace windows from windows without extra boot media: http://goodbye-microsoft.com/
[07:43] <SemiSonic> Stupid thing keeps saying pemission denied
[07:43] <ricew> SemiSonic-> nope, tmpfs not setting TMP

[07:43] <ALT-F4> hello, this may sound stupid but how do I run nvidia-xconfig as root?
[07:43] <und3rgr0undz3r0> Jordan_U, I'm on a wifi connection with no network support, does it need to be a network supported install?
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> SemiSonic: change it in environmental variables. I forget where it is in the OS. Ask in ##windows
[07:44] <und3rgr0undz3r0> unless it can detect by broadcom lol
[07:44] <rlee> anyone aware of why packages are missing during the update from a vanilla jaunty install?
[07:44] <Ian_> ALT-F4: gksudo nvidia-settings
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> SemiSonic: once its changed you may need to reboot. You can then install wubi and all its godawfulness then boot to windows to change it back
[07:44] <rlee> i just checked the archive site and the packages aren't there.
[07:44] <Jordan_U> und3rgr0undz3r0: I believe the debian installer needs network support, yes
[07:45] <SemiSonic> haha.. i just wanna try it with dual monitors don't wanna commit fully yet
[07:45] <und3rgr0undz3r0> I'll do some poking around to see if it can detect my broadcom linksys card on the installer
[07:45] <SemiSonic> stupid ATI radeon x1050 don't work with live cd
[07:45] <ALT-F4> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[07:45] <Jordan_U> und3rgr0undz3r0: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html
[07:45] <jussi01> ALT-F4: sudo nvidia-xconfig then :)
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> SemiSonic: you can install it to USB. Use that, so much better as you dont have windows rubish to worry about as well
[07:45] <SemiSonic> Well it does work.. but then freeze's after ya login
[07:46] <SemiSonic> MMm thanks ActionParsnip might just do that
[07:46] <PocketIRC> bah
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> SemiSonic: you can put the CD on a 1Gb USB stick and be fine
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> SemiSonic: 1Gb USB costs as much as you can find in the back of thesofa
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> *the sofa
[07:47] <und3rgr0undz3r0> Jordan_U, thanks, i'll try to see wich one works better for me

[07:48] <Jordan_U> Sakara: Random thing that probably won't work, try booting from the LiveCD and choosing "Boot from first hard disk". It shouldn't be any different but there are reports that it works with at least one buggy BIOS

[07:50] <Jordan_U> !boot | hey_boy
[07:50] <purplefool> so, was here 2 days ago about a dual boot problem.  with my dual boot i get 2 choices, ubuntu (no version) and winxp.  in all the examples there are more choices for which ubuntu should be booted.  with mine i cannot choose a default boot.
[07:51] <und3rgr0undz3r0> I get an error saying it can find files with the debian exe
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> !grub | purplefool reinstall grub
[07:51] <purplefool> can anyone suggest a solution?` have tried to change menu.lst defaults without success.
[07:51] <mechdave> purplefool, what version of Ubuntu have you installed?
[07:51] <Sakara> Jordan_U: can you believe it :D it works
[07:52] <purplefool> ActionParsnip,  and ubottu ...hmmm...ok,  windows was installed first though and that always sounded extreme...
[07:52] <Sakara> Jordan_U: most certainly is a bios problem was able to boot the system no trouble from the CD menu
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> purplefool: why? it only changes the MBR and checks for bootable OSes. It will set your menu.lst right
[07:53] <purplefool> mechdave, the latest but cannot find the exact numbers right now...
[07:53] <purplefool> act
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> purplefool: its not going to touch windows at all, only menu.lst
[07:53] <mechdave> purplefool, Ok, no worries, can you pastebin the contents of your menu.lst file?
[07:53] <jussi01> purplefool: sudo update-grub
[07:53] <purplefool> ActionParsnip, ok will try it.  i really don't care about windows...just a couple programs are there that i need (grrr...)
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> maybe there are open alternatives
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> or wine
[07:55] <adok> does anybody know how to change the title in gnome-terminal to the hostname in a ssh session?
[07:55] <indus> hi
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> adok: do you mean in the window decorator?
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> hi indus
[07:55] <adok> ActionParsnip, i mean in the tabs
[07:56] <mechdave> G'day indus
[07:56] <purplefool> jussi01, what did i just do?  things were found (no splash) and kernals were discovered...does this do anything?
[07:56] <adok> ActionParsnip, i know i can set to any title, but i would like to make it dynamic
[07:56] <indus> hmm mechdave you too
[07:57] <jussi01> purplefool: it just did a detection of whats available and added it to your menu.lst
[07:57] <hey_boy> is there an alternative to the NetworkManager service in Jaunty?
[07:57] <detuneyourradio> i need some quick help with dual monitors + ati catalyst 9.7 + ubuntu 9.04.  just wondering if it's possible to switch which one is display 1 and which one id display 2?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> adok: could make a script to make it launch and change automigically
[07:58] <pc001> co_mio
[07:58] <jussi01> w
[07:58] <purplefool> jussi01, and it found the different kernals but these are the ones that come up in a normal dual boot...guess i need to restart to find out if this has affected my boot *sigh*
[07:58] <adok> ActionParsnip, well, its like i want if i start in the Default (local) profile, but then if i so ssh, it doesnt update or shows the path
[07:59] <pc001> co_mio
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> adok: i see your point
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> adok: not sure tbh. I can see how its useful though
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> adok: submit it as a feature request
[08:00] <kubanc> how to look in terminal, if i am using the selected package ?
[08:00] <mrgenericuser> detuneyourradio: you should be able to, though once i had to turn off .2 then restart gdm , the turn it back on, but i have been using nvidia for a while now
[08:00] <adok> ActionParsnip, ye.. i usuaslly do alot of remote sessions, and having a dynamic title would help alot
[08:00] <brand0con> I've installed totem-xine, ubuntu-restricted-extras and vlc but still cant see video for avi files.  any suggestions?
[08:00] <adok> ActionParsnip, thank you, i will

[08:06] <fallenpoet> hi h1231enry
[08:07] <eowk223> hello there!
[08:09] <Ileden> Hi! I'm experiencing some weirdness - I have an SD card mounted, and when I disconnect the card without unmounting (for testing purposes), the directory structure is still available, and I can even read contents of a text file! The mount does become read only... is this a feature of LVM (which I'm using on the card)? Should it do this?
[08:10] <ricew> Ileden-> how was it mounted?  type mount
[08:10] <Ileden> ricew: /dev/mapper/vg-lv0 on /media/t type ext4 (rw,commit=600)
[08:11] <Ileden> ricew: It's mounted without any specified mount options. (I'm not sure which mount options I should be using.)
[08:11] <ricew> Ileden-> it could be, i dont know much about logical volume manager
[08:12] <Laughing_God> What is the users friendly OS in linux??Im newbie so what would be easy for beginners???
[08:12] <Ileden> ricew: It doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong, though. When I connect the card and remount it, everything seems ok...
[08:12] <Tvmbledown> Hi, guys. Back with another set of interesting questions.
[08:12] <mrgenericuser> Ileden: i think it's getting cached. always unmount, i've lost entire flash drive contents by not unmounting...
[08:12] <ewp> Laughing_God, it is Ubuntu, of course :-)
[08:13] <Baxtor> Hi guys, wondering if anyone knows a command i can use to auto start a program (conky in this case) 60 seconds after boot?
[08:13] <Ileden> ricew: I'm just worried I'm mounting it wrong and that might cause problems later.
[08:13] <Tvmbledown> I need to install Ubuntu on an EXTREMELY low-end system - an old ThinkPad 600, with a Pentium II and about 128 megs of ram.
[08:13] <Laughing_God> Where can i find the guideline or guideline to use this OS ubuntu?
[08:13] <Bluey> tv - ubuntu server...
[08:13] <ewp> Tvmbledown, then do it
[08:13] <Bluey> comand line only
[08:13] <Tvmbledown> And I need to do it WITHOUT access to the internet.
[08:13] <Ileden> Laughing_God: Mint Linux has some satisfied users too. It's ubuntu based as far a  I know.
[08:14] <Bluey> iirc x requires a min of 256 meg
[08:14] <Tvmbledown> Also, I really really want to be able to run some kind of desktop environment.
[08:14] <Laughing_God> Can i use unbuntu to make shells ?
[08:14] <Tvmbledown> It runs the Mepis variant, AntiX, without much trouble.
[08:14] <Bluey> laughing - shell scripts?
[08:14] <ewp> Laughing_God, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
[08:14] <Ileden> mrgenericuser: Yeah, I plan to unmount when _intentionally_ removing the card. :)
[08:14] <LogicFan> Laughing_God, yes.  shells are just shared access accounts on a unix-based machine
[08:14] <Laughing_God> Nop. Making shells
[08:14] <fallenpoet> Baxtor - you would need to make a scrip in which you would put sleep 60
[08:14] <Laughing_God> OIC
[08:15] <mechdave> Tvmbledown, you might be better off with a small footprint system like DSL or similar (DSL = Damn Small Linux)
[08:15] <Baxtor> exactly what i am after, thanks fallenpoet
[08:16] <fallenpoet> Baxtor - no problem
[08:16] <Tvmbledown> mechdave:  I'm actually using AntiX on it, which is a Mepis-based system (still Debian), after trying out DSL.
[08:16] <Laughing_God> People seems to make shells and giving to people using Linux OS.just want to know that is that true?
[08:16] <Ileden> mrgenericuser: problem is, I'd like to be prepared for it to be removed by accident. that is, not losing all the contents...
[08:16] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: However, I have no way of getting internet access on this thing, and I want to add a few games.
[08:17] <Bob_Dole> DSL is basically unsupported now. One of the main devs quit or something.
[08:17] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: I haven't come up with any other way to do it than grabbing the packages on a net-capable machine and installing them... But the packages are ubuntu-specific.
[08:17] <mechdave> Tvmbledown, usb port?
[08:17] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: Got one, so a flash drive is possible, but I can't boot from it - BIOS doesn't support it.
[08:17] <void_pointer> !my | Laughing_God
[08:18] <mechdave> Tvmbledown, that's alright, just download on another computer and then put them on usb stick and transfer to laptop
[08:18] <Laughing_God> I think im more okey with english
[08:19] <bubill> ?
[08:19] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: Yeah... That's what would be pretty awesome, but it hasn't worked like that so far. The packages are Ubuntu-specific, and I'm running into some problems there, mainly dependency-related.
[08:19] <ImGonnaWine> hi, i down loaded wine and installed it. (i think I installed it)  how do I start up wine?
[08:19] <rski> ImGonnaWine: type wine in the terminla and press enter
[08:19] <Bluey> type wine <windowsapplication>
[08:20] <mattcen> Hi all, I'm looking for some information on how to use 'uvesafb' on Jaunty, so that my TTY will support 1680x1050 (my monitor's native resolution). Anybody here able to help?
[08:20] <Laughing_God> kubuntu or ubuntu? What is the diffrents?
[08:20] <mechdave> Tvmbledown, if you go to http://packages.ubuntu.com you can search for packages and it will tell you what packages depend on what
[08:21] <tstebut> Hello
[08:21] <mattcen> Laughing_God: One uses KDE as its default Window Manager, and the other uses GNOME as its default
[08:21] <ImGonnaWine> rski, ok, I saw it.  not a lot of documentation but its a start.  I used doors to down load ie6, how do I fire that up?
[08:21] <Laughing_God>  KDE means what?
[08:21] <Laughing_God> GNOME  means what?
[08:21] <Bluey> gnome is a graphical user interface -
[08:22] <tstebut> Trying to upgrade my intrepid to jaunty, but update-manager doesn't provide this option, why ?
[08:22] <Laughing_God> Okey
[08:22] <ImGonnaWine> why is everything so hard in linux
[08:22] <Laughing_God>  KDE means what??
[08:22] <Bluey> linux allows any - windows only has one
[08:22] <Boohbah> K Desktop Environment, GNU Networked Object Model Environment
[08:22] <rski> ImGonnaWine: i have no idea on howto use winedoors
[08:22] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: Is there a way to do that for Debian systems other than Ubuntu? Specifically in this instance, AntiX (a Mepis variant).
[08:22] <Elone> question?
[08:22] <rski> ImGonnaWine: because you dont know how to do it yet
[08:22] <mattcen> Laughing_God: "K Desktop Environment" www.kde.org  "GNU Object Model Environment" http://www.gnome.org/
[08:22] <Elone> question? can i put swapfile in FAT32 partition?
[08:22] <tstebut> Trying to upgrade my intrepid to jaunty, but update-manager doesn't provide this option, why ?
[08:23] <mechdave> Tvmbledown, yep, try http://packages.debian.org
[08:23] <Boohbah> mattcen: the N is for 'Networked'
[08:23] <leaf-sheep> tstebut: Because it's not something (so easy) to be toyed around with. :)
[08:23] <rski> Elone: only if you want to torture yourself
[08:23] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: I may be misunderstanding, but they all look ubuntu-specific.
[08:24] <ImGonnaWine> rski, if linux really wants to be main stream, then ease of use and FULL documentation for non it professionals will be necessary to succeed.
[08:24] <Bluey> i dunno if you can put a swap file on fat 32 - mine says: /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap"
[08:24] <mechdave> Tvmbledown, sorry... hang on for a sec
[08:24] <Boohbah> mattcen: of just 'Network'
[08:24] <rski> ImGonnaWine: ok, is that a question or?
[08:24] <Boohbah> mattcen: but i see they have changed it, so you are right
[08:25] <Ileden> I have a memory card with LVM file system (weirdly enough, this is so I can suspend my laptop with the disk connected...). What mount options should I be using in /etc/fstab for mounting the LVM partition?
[08:25] <ImGonnaWine> rski, whats your point.
[08:25] <mattcen> Boohbah: I just saw it in the little info top that Google popped up above gnome.org; I can't actually find the meaning *on* the site at all though.
[08:25] <Elone> i am thinking have the ~4GB first partition  as pafefile.sys and swap with that so windows and ubuntu can use that as swap~ is that possible?
[08:25] <Guest77426> good morning!
[08:25] <ImGonnaWine> does anyone here know how to use wine? and would they like to assist me to get it going on my system?
[08:25] <rski> ImGonnaWine: no point
[08:25] <rski> ImGonnaWine: just a question
[08:26] <ImGonnaWine> rski, there is always a point
[08:26] <rski> ok the point was getting an answear
[08:26] <rski> pretty obvious
[08:26] <mechdave> Tvmbledown, you could download the big dvd image
[08:26] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: The alternative I'm totally open to is, Install Ubuntu to the laptop... Problem is, the laptop A) is very very very low-end in terms of speed and RAM, and B) has NO internet access of any kind. This means a standard install would make for a brutally slow machine, and...
[08:26] <DJones> ImGonnaWine: Have you asked in wine's own channel? you're best bet is to ask in #winehq thats their main support channel
[08:26] <ImGonnaWine> is there a manual for wine?
[08:26] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: And the "LowMemorySystem" install on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems wouldn't work.
[08:26] <rski> ImGonnaWine: docs @ winehq.org
[08:27] <ImGonnaWine> on freenode?  djones
[08:27] <Boohbah> !winehq | ImGonnaWine
[08:27] <Tvmbledown> mechdave: In what way would that help? :) No DVD drive, and slow slow slow machine.
[08:27] <DJones> ImGonnaWine: Yes
[08:27] <mattcen> ImGonnaWine: http://www.winehq.org/help/ is a good place to start
[08:27] <mattcen> (probably)
[08:27] <rski> ImGonnaWine: dont ask about winedoors support there thou, they will make fun of you. only wine is supported there
[08:27] <ALT-F4> yeah got dual monitors now
[08:27] <ALT-F4> thanks to the guy that helped me :)
[08:27] <ImGonnaWine> Boohbah, thanks!
[08:28] <mechdave> Tvmbledown, I think we should take ourselves to #ubuntu-offtopic to continue our conversation :)
[08:28] <ALT-F4> can anyone tell me how to install window maker with gnome enabled?
[08:28] <ImGonnaWine> rski, thanks for the tip.  I thought wine doors was part of wine.  thanks good to know it is not.
[08:28] <ImGonnaWine> thanks djones.
[08:28] <DJones> ImGonnaWine: You're welcome
[08:28] <mattcen> Nobody know anything about Uvesa?
[08:29] <mattcen> knows*
[08:29] <silverfast> Tvmbledown : install xubuntu with alternate cd and get updates from another machine using http://keryxproject.org/
[08:30] <tstebut> well :) what should I do ?
[08:30] <tstebut> I'd like to toy it yet....
[08:30] <tstebut> But at first, looking for an explanation of it's no-providing-this-option-state...
[08:30] <tstebut> leaf-sheep : nice day isn't it ? :)
[08:30] <tstebut> sorry I lost my connection
[08:30] <Tvmbledown> silverfast: Is xubuntu going to be as resource-light as I need? This is a machine that runs DSL and AntiX comfortably, not lightning-fast.
[08:31] <leaf-sheep> tstebut: Not rly. I can't see anything outside right now. It's scary thing right now. :(
[08:31] <dehqan> thanks <sebsebseb
[08:31] <Boohbah> ImGonnaWine: np. also check the wine application compatibility db for your particular app
[08:31] <Guest77426> im having some recognition problems with 2 hds, one with ubuntu and one with windows.... since its windows related and not only ubuntu, can i ask for help here?
[08:32] <mattcen> Tvmbledown: Xubuntu is the most lightweight official distribution, and there's nothing stopping you from installing an even lighter window manager etc. if you find it's too resource intensive.
[08:32] <Tvmbledown> mattcen: Does it recognize packages etc. the same way vanilla Ubuntu does?
[08:32] <silverfast> Tvmbledown: check http://www.xubuntu.org/get
[08:32] <Tvmbledown> silverfast and mattcen, thanks. :)
[08:33] <mattcen> Tvmbledown: Certainly! It's basically the same operating system, with a different skin on it.
[08:33] <silverfast> Tvmbledown : or you should stick with dsl or try puppy
[08:33] <tstebut> leaf-sheep : oh sorry....Well it appears that jaunty is a developement version, not a release, right ?
[08:33] <bubill> now time is Friday Sep 25 2009  3:33pm
[08:34] <Tvmbledown> silverfast: If I'm reading this right, the purpose of keryx is to make packages available to computers without internet access?
[08:34] <mattcen> It's slightly sad that I came in here *looking* for help, and ended up giving it instead :P
[08:34] <leaf-sheep> tstebut: Jaunty was a release in April 2008.  Karmic is a development version, will be released next month.
[08:35] <silverfast> Tvmbledown:yes,but if you have internet then I misunderstand you sorry
[08:35] <mattcen> leaf-sheep: You mean 2009.
[08:35] <leaf-sheep> tstebut: Jaunty is a current (and the latest) release at the moment.
[08:35] <Tvmbledown> silverfast: Nah, you got it, actually. :) Thank you!
[08:35] <leaf-sheep> mattcen: Yes.
[08:35] <silverfast> Tvmbledown: np  ;)
[08:36] <leaf-sheep> !nickspam > clown2
[08:36] <tstebut> leaf-sheep : oh but why do I have to do a "update-manager -d" to see it ??
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> if I have a text file of packagenames, how can I uninstall them please?
[08:37] <leaf-sheep> tstebut: Because that's an upgrade. If you're coming from Windows mindset, then it'd be *almost* same thing as going from Windows 98 to Windows 2000.  Etc cetera.
[08:37] <ricew> ActionParsnip-> man dpkg
[08:37] <silverfast> leaf-sheep: Jaunty was released in april 2009
[08:37] <ALT-F4> can anyone tell me how I can install window maker with gnome enabled on Ubuntu? Please?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> ricew: cheers
[08:38] <Rog> test?
[08:38] <DJones> !cloning | ActionParsnip How did you create the test file, does this cloning factoid help at all?
[08:38] <ALT-F4> window maker desktop environment, that is
[08:38] <Mohammad[B]> how to i can record this live stream file in Ubuntu  ? http://www.voanews.com/wm/live/live-persian-v.asx
[08:39] <leaf-sheep> ALT-F4: Windows Maker?  Explain more, plz.
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> DJones: yeah thats where I got the file list from. I'm thinking just switch install for remove and be good
[08:40] <tstebut> leaf-sheep : ok, well I suppose it's normal to say it's a development rel as in this context development's got to mean something else than the first meaning I got
[08:41] <leaf-sheep> tstebut: Not really. People are still using Gutsy (7.04), Hardy (8.04 LTS), or Intrepid (8.10) today and they can upgrade anytime when they want.  Some want to stay behind to ensure stability and such.  To each his own.  Latest isn't always the good thing. ;)
[08:42] <tstebut> hmmmm
[08:42] <tstebut> Being off the thing is a hard job nowadays ;)
[08:43] <tstebut> leaf-sheep, what's your version ?
[08:43] <leaf-sheep> tstebut: Jaunty 9.04 amd64.
[08:44] <tstebut> yeah !
[08:46] <silverfast> ActionParsnip :http://paste.ubuntu.com/277692/
[08:46] <tstebut> leaf-sheep :  Jaunty 9.04 core2duo , GTMY :)
[08:47]  * tstebut help
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> silverfast: cheers dude :)
[08:47]  * tstebut having a shower :p
[08:48] <silverfast> ActionParsnip : try it on your own risc   :p
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> silverfast: will do later, at work now
[08:51] <ZykoticK9> I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor and am having troubles trying to get CPU frequency controls to work.  cpufreq-selector says "No cpufreq support" and cpudynd says "CPU frequency control disabled".  Any hints?
[08:51] <abel> rian jak
[08:53] <squarrel> everything works
[08:53] <squarrel> in the OS
[08:56] <indus> ZykoticK9: enable cool and quiet in bios
[08:56] <indus> ZykoticK9: or it wont work
[08:57] <ZykoticK9> indus, thanks.  I'll look into that -- the next time I reboot :)
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> hahha, reboot
[09:02] <guja> assuming that I have Hardy LTS, will that release ever became "old" and unsupported? I mean, having updates set to LTS, is there also circle of updates/upgrades as on regular releases, but it is just way longer time between releases or is something like Hardy is supported for 5 years, and then bye bye, you have to re-install the system?
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> !lts
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> guja: yes it will eventually become unsupported but its not for a while
[09:04] <guja> okay, so when Hardy becomes unofficial, what happens? "new upgrade to 10.04 available" will show in my update manager or?
[09:04] <rski> guja: you can upgrade LTS->LTS
[09:04] <leaf-sheep> guja: Yup.
[09:04] <csaba> I have uninstalled the ATI drivers but the ATI Control Center item is still in the Applications menu in Gnome. How to remove it?
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> guja: sure, 10.04 is available in 20(10) in the 4th month (April)
[09:04] <csaba> In the Add/Remove dialog ATI Catalyst is already deselected
[09:04] <leaf-sheep> guja: You'd run a command to update to LTS.  However, that isn't going to happen for long time.
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> guja: hardy is support for 3 years after 200(8) 4th month (April)
[09:05] <guja> leaf-sheep: i see. and based on what LTS versions are chosen?
[09:05] <alkisg_work> Does dhclient in Ubuntu send dns-updates by default?
[09:05] <rski> guja: timebased afaik
[09:05] <csaba> how to remove a menu item from the Applications menu? Add/remove doesn't work
[09:06] <leaf-sheep> guja: Every X years.
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> alkisg_work: the standard for DNS servers states they must send periodic updates
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> alkisg_work: as far as I am aware
[09:06] <guja> okay, thanks folks. got that.
[09:06] <aethelrick> csaba: click system, preferences, main menu
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> alin_badila: if they are told to, you can disable it but the standard default is to advertise
[09:07] <alkisg_work> ActionParsnip: I mean the client, dhclient. E.g. one standalone ubuntu PC, will it send its hostname to the local dns server? (==dns update)
[09:07] <csaba> thanks
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> alkisg_work: i think so, it does with home grade routers
[09:07] <guja> and one more question: 32bit vs 64bit ubuntu? I have 64bit architecture, but dunno if it's wise to use 64bit, since I don't know how well these days x86_64 is supported in Ubuntu.
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> guja: its fine
[09:08] <alkisg_work> ActionParsnip: thanks, I hope it does :)
[09:08] <Silver_Swords> guja: go for it. it worked fine when i tried it.
[09:08] <guja> ActionParsnip: no more problems from quite time ago I remember like flash problems, etc?
[09:09] <csaba> I have a windows installed on the same computer, and the drives can be seen in "Computer". However, when I click on them, nothing happens. Probably some mount error in the background. How to figure out what's wrong? Clicking "mount" also doesn't do anything
[09:10] <csaba> windows vista
[09:10] <csaba> and /media contains only the cdrom
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> guja: there is a 64bit flash plugin (beta) as well as nspluginwrapper. flashplugin-nonfree will use the wrapper, you can install the beta manually and it runs fine
[09:10] <csaba> and the C: drive's location is computer:/// and media is unknown
[09:10] <trakcyia> how can i grep a man page?
[09:11] <guja> ActionParsnip: and Skype maybe? if you are using it.
[09:11] <trakcyia> better question, how can I output only pattern matching lines from within a man page?
[09:11] <booleancat> Hello all. I'm setting up a bunch of diskless machines to boot over PXE. I've got each machine set up in it's own directory on a server, and their root directory is exported over tftp. Everything mostly works, but I'd like to write a script to chroot into each root directory and "apt-get update -s -y && apt-get upgrade -s -y" However, no matter what I try, I can't get the command to work.
[09:12] <booleancat> If I manually chroot into each directory, I can execute the commands, but I can't get a script to do it for me. Any ideas?
[09:12] <trakcyia> have the script chroot into each directory and use the pwd for the commands?
[09:13] <trakcyia> basically, make the script do what you do lol
[09:13] <booleancat> Well, I'm trying the following: "chroot /path/to/exported/root apt-get update" but it only seems to execute it on the host
[09:13] <booleancat> rather, "sudo chroot ..."
[09:13] <Alex_Brooks> Can Ubunutu support duel monitors?
[09:14] <trakcyia> i knew that quesiton was over my head, i just wanted to try anyway. sorry
[09:14] <booleancat> Alex_Brooks: You mean dual monitors, and yes
[09:14] <aethelrick> Alex_Brooks: yup it sure can
[09:14] <booleancat> a duel is a fight ;)
[09:14] <Alex_Brooks> Thanks booleancat + aethelrick, sorry for the bad spelling, only just woke up.
[09:14] <trakcyia> xinerama and x (in the form of multiple dispays) will duel your output
[09:14] <booleancat> Alex_Brooks: you do have to restart X for the changes to apply though
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> guja: i dont use skype, it can be made to work. Thre are guides everywhere
[09:15] <aethelrick> lol... no problem Alex_Brooks the idea of monitors dueling conjures an image :)
[09:16] <trakcyia> i am quite literally going insane (minus the  bulk of the insanity) trying to find out how to get my terminal to output a "ctrl-f" of a man page
[09:16] <ScoTTie> Having problems with eSATA auto mounting. The device node for the drive are being created/removed when its plugged in/unplugged, but it wont auto mount according to fstab.
[09:16] <trakcyia> say i wanted to see what the man page for grep had to say about the -p option.
[09:17] <ScoTTie> doing mount -a or /dev/.. will work
[09:17] <ScoTTie> am i missing something?
[09:18] <booleancat> lol... so my problem was easily solved by reading the man page... I just wanted the -y option. The -s option "simulates" the operation...

[09:22] <trakcyia> when i attempt to use the pick utility i am told the utility is available in some packages. i installed the two listed packages and pick still returns the same message
[09:22] <ImGonnaWine> is anyone good with wine

[09:22] <jimbeam12> iam trying to add a splash screen in ubuntu ...using start up manager...i add the theme i want..ok
[09:22] <ImGonnaWine> I am tring to istall an application.  I have installed wine, and found ie6.  it works ok.  but I need to install my own application.

[09:23] <jimbeam12> computer reboots..and gives me an error code 11:unrecongnized device string...
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> ImGonnaWine: did you check the appdb for compatibility?
[09:23] <jimbeam12> i cannot log in to ubuntu...
[09:24] <ImGonnaWine> ActionParsnip: yep, the application I want to use is not on the compatibility list, I was told to try it, it may work.

[09:24] <ImGonnaWine> ActionParsnip: it was not test and know not to work, it just was not there listed.
[09:24] <ImGonnaWine> ActionParsnip: can you help me?
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> ImGonnaWine: give it a go, if it doesnt work then try the wine from the wine repo: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[09:25] <ckc037> hey guys
[09:25] <kraut> moin
[09:26] <ImGonnaWine> I have downloaded wine, and installed it, can someone help me install a new windows program?
[09:26] <jimbeam12> everytime startup manager add this line to grub...splashimage=/boot/grub/splashimages/guitar.xpm.gz its stuff up...
[09:26] <aethelrick> ImGonnaWine: do you have an installer for your program?
[09:26] <trakcyia> i can't figure out how to either a. install the pick utility or b. use an alternate method to output a string from within a man page
[09:26] <aethelrick> ImGonnaWine: try "wine installer.exe" where installer.exe is the name of your installer
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> ImGonnaWine: right click on the exe and select open with wine installer
[09:27] <booleancat> 2nd question: Is there any way to share the deb files already downloaded across a network (say I have 10 machines, and don't want to download each update 10 times)
[09:27] <trakcyia> well, i cant think of any more ways to ask that question
[09:27] <trakcyia> wait time
[09:27] <ImGonnaWine> I guess it has an installer... its a windows application and install in the normal way. the problem is where do I install it?  how do I find the wine c drive?
[09:28] <ImGonnaWine> ok, let me look at it.
[09:29] <geirha> trakcyia: man foo | grep word    ?
[09:29] <aethelrick> trakcyia: what is your overall goal? do you have a specific man page in mind or are you trying to do a multi-man-page search?
[09:29] <soUPERMan> hey, my cd burner has been having errors in burning, any ideas to why this is happening?
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> booleancat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205569   seems ok
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> soUPERMan: tried burning slower or a different app?
[09:30] <aethelrick> ImGonnaWine: your c drive in in your home directory under .wine/drive_c/
[09:30] <soUPERMan> ActionParsnip, i tried with K3B but got the same error
[09:31] <soUPERMan> weird thing is it used to work
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> soUPERMan: tried a different speed?
[09:31] <soUPERMan> then out of nowhere i get errors
[09:31] <aethelrick> ImGonnaWine: simply running your installer with wine should suffice however, it knows where C is :)
[09:31] <ImGonnaWine> aethelrick: so how do I know if it is installed.  I am not sure if it worked.
[09:31] <aethelrick> soUPERMan: can you be sure the drive isn't faulty?
[09:32] <soUPERMan> it reads...
[09:32] <ImGonnaWine> aethelrick: it is not listed in the wine part of the menu
[09:32] <soUPERMan> aethelrick, is there a way to test if it's faulty?
[09:32] <trakcyia> geirha: that did the trick, thank you
[09:33] <aethelrick> ImGonnaWine: you can browse in nautilius or a terminal into ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files and have a look or wine may have also created a handy menu entry for you under applications, wine, programs
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> ImGonnaWine: your apps menu will have an entry if the app makes one
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> ImGonnaWine: under wine
[09:35] <ImGonnaWine> it did not make a menu item... unless I need to reboot for it to be seen.
[09:35] <aethelrick> soUPERMan: the only real way to tell if something is faulty is to swap it out or try it in another environment. You say it used to work, it's reasonable to suspect in that case that either recent changes have occurred in config or the device is failing
[09:35] <aethelrick> soUPERMan: if you can rule out the changes in config... then I'd start to suspect the device.
[09:35] <leaf-sheep> ImGonnaWine: "killall gnome-panel" should do the triiiiick.
[09:35] <aethelrick> soUPERMan: out of curiosity, what model is the device?
[09:35] <soUPERMan> ok, will try swaping aethelrick ...now to find another burner...*sigh*
[09:36] <NeXstaR> who can i prvt i connection with a joomla problem ?
[09:36] <soUPERMan> aethelrick, it's built in a lenovo 3000 g430 laptop...
[09:36] <soUPERMan> soo.....basically, i have no idea
[09:36] <soUPERMan> just a min
[09:37] <booleancat> ActionParsnip: Thanks Sorry it took a bit, I was on another machine
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> booleancat: np man
[09:37] <aethelrick> soUPERMan: have you recently changed to a new brand/type of disc? (i.e. blank media)
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> YES!!!!
[09:38] <soUPERMan> aethelrick, not exactly i tested a few new ones just to see if it was the discs
[09:38] <aethelrick> soUPERMan: I once got an entire spindle of CD's that would not burn reliably with my drive...
[09:38] <soUPERMan> but weird thing is it burns on my friend's laptop
[09:39] <aethelrick> is this an external drive?
[09:39] <soUPERMan> no, internal
[09:39] <aethelrick> soUPERMan: so you have taken it out... put it in your buddies laptop and it works there?
[09:39] <NeXstaR> anyone here familiar with joomla etc ?
[09:40] <soUPERMan> nope, my buddy's burner works with the cds
[09:40] <aethelrick> soUPERMan: oh right...
[09:41] <aethelrick> NeXstaR: try asking you question mate... I may be able to help, but I don't know until you ask :)
[09:41] <peeps123> hi
[09:41] <NeXstaR> aethelrick: may i prvt you concerning the aspect ?
[09:42] <soreau> ! pm | NeXstaR
[09:42] <aethelrick> NeXstaR: that sounds so much like a proposition.... *shudder* :P
[09:42] <ikt> I've got an ubuntu server running with a weird problem, it can see other computers and I can ssh into it from another machine on the network but it can't connect to the internet .. any ideas?
[09:42] <soreau> ! ask | NeXstaR
[09:42] <tplink> are there any chinese
[09:42] <tplink> i'm first come here anybody free
[09:42] <peeps123> need some help with internet connection probs
[09:43] <NeXstaR> no no aestherick ... its just a ubuntu chatroom, but may i ask joomla related questions here aswell
[09:43] <wine> is anyone good with wine?  I am tring to install a program in wine and its not working
[09:43] <aethelrick> ikt: can you ping google.com
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> wine: did you check the appdb for compatibility?
[09:43] <wine> yes
[09:43] <daurnimator> I think my computer froze
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> wine: not all apps run with wine
[09:44] <wine> i want to try this one
[09:44] <daurnimator> its stuck, and the keyboard lights started flashing
[09:44] <daurnimator> anyone know why thekeyboards lights would flash
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> wine: you could also try the wine version on the wine repos
[09:44] <wine> how do I install an application in wine
[09:44] <ikt> athelrick: nope :(
[09:44] <soUPERMan> daurnimator, try rebooting it
[09:44] <wine> that is where I got wine.  for ubuntu
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> wine: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[09:44] <soreau> daurnimator: When your keyboard lights flash and your system freezes, this is called a kernel panic
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> wine: the one on the wine repos can yield different results
[09:44] <aethelrick> NeXstaR: go ahead and ask :) (I'm only joking)
[09:45] <wine> I have down loaded wine and I am trying to load up a windows application, this is my first time.  can someone help me.
[09:45] <peeps123> network manager tells me every few seconds that my internet connects and disconnects
[09:45] <soreau> daurnimator: It sometimes happens when running bad kernel code, ie. a driver or kernel module
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> wine: you may want to run: winecfg too to change the simulated windows version. This can give different results too
[09:45] <daurnimator> soUPERMan: soreau: o.o why would that happen >.<
[09:45] <daurnimator> I was just importing songs into rythmbox
[09:45] <soreau> daurnimator: Importing from where?
[09:45] <daurnimator> an ntfs hdd
[09:45] <soUPERMan> daurnimator, mmmhhh....i have no idea, but something went wrong and crashed the kernel or your xserver
[09:46] <NeXstaR> anyways here goes ... i have installed mosets tree component and module inside joomla and everytime i try to browse webpage thru //localhost/webtest/ it gives me this error : Fatal Error: Call to a member function call() on a non-object in /var/www/webstest/components/com_mtree/mtree.php on line 329
[09:46] <wine> I have down loaded wine from the ubuntu repositories. I am trying to install a windows application. this is my first time, so I am kinda lost, can someone help me?
[09:46] <rotzak|work> What populates the "Applications" menu? I have some things that I've downloaded (i.e. Chromium and IntelliJ) that just come out as directories and I would like to be able to launch them from the menu and not the term....
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> wine: do you have a windows .exe file?
[09:46] <peeps123> please help me
[09:46] <daurnimator> anything I can do to salvage the situation? or I have to reboot?
[09:46] <soreau> daurnimator: Then it might be caused by some other unrelated issue.. can you reproduce it reliably?
[09:46] <edi_99> Hi guys. I've installed LAMP and I'm trying to learn php. Do I really have to put all my scripts in /var/www or is there a more "elegant" way
[09:46] <Maverick> how to give users permission to mount parttions
[09:47] <daurnimator> soreau: just happpend for first time then
[09:47] <wine> yes, I tried to run it via the wine loader program.  ActionParsnip
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> wine: thats all you do
[09:47] <rotzak|work> edi_99: Yes, and that is likely the "best" way -- you can always ln -s that to somewhere else or change httpd.conf (or apache.conf I think it is now) to get your scripts from elswhere.
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Maverick: you can use visdo to make sudo not need a password but they will still need to be a mamber of admin group to be able to use it
[09:47] <Unicode> Maverick: it depends of fs type
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Maverick: they just wont get bothered for a password
[09:48] <soreau> daurnimator: You'r system is telling you at this point, it's pretty much in a state where it reached the furthest it can do and doesn't know what else to do so you have to restart it. You can do something like Alt+PrintScreen+S+U+B
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> wine: try winecfg to see if changing the system to vista etc makes a difference.
[09:48] <edi_99> rotzak|work: OK, thanks
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> wine: what app is it?
[09:48] <wine> actionparsnip, after I do that how do I activate the program.
[09:48] <daurnimator> ok
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> wine: alt+f2  type   winecfg   press enter
[09:48] <wine> its called the frog and the carrot
[09:49] <peeps123> am I really in this chat room
[09:49] <soreau> peeps123: no
[09:49] <peeps123> ok
[09:49] <NeXstaR> aesthelrick: anyways here goes ... i have installed mosets tree component and module inside joomla and everytime i try to browse webpage thru //localhost/webtest/ it gives me this error : Fatal Error: Call to a member function call() on a non-object in /var/www/webstest/components/com_mtree/mtree.php on line 329
[09:49] <peeps123> installed ubuntu but have internet problems
[09:50] <rxd> where can i find a script that can redirect apt-get install to a directory
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> wine: you'll have to mess around in winecfg to see if you can make it run
[09:50] <Unicode> peeps123: ?
[09:50] <soUPERMan> daurnimator, hey, i burned with a higher speed and it worked, weird, right?
[09:50] <wine> ActionParsnip: it simply is not loading.  by using the wine loader it did create the filefolder, but not thing is in it.
[09:50] <peeps123> thank you
[09:50] <soreau> peeps123: How are you trying to connect? wifi or hardwire ethernet?
[09:50] <peeps123> ethernet
[09:50] <soreau> peeps123: And what is the problem?
[09:51] <peeps123> network manager tells me every few seconds that I have disconnected
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> rxd: you can tell apt-get to only download then move the deb yourself after the download finishes
[09:51] <aethelrick> NeXstaR: what version of Joomla?
[09:51] <soUPERMan> peeps123, check if the cable is not loose
[09:51] <wine> ActionParsnip: how can I change the version of widows if I can't get to the installed program.  I can't get to the installed program because it is not installed.
[09:51] <soreau> peeps123: Can you ping google.com from your terminal?
[09:51] <Unicode> peeps123: kill network manager and feel good:)
[09:52] <peeps123> I manage to stay in this chat room
[09:52] <peeps123> seems its the internet
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> wine: ive told you, winecfg
[09:52] <rxd> ActionParsnip: so i have to create it myself after i use apt-get -o option and extract the deb file to a directory
[09:52] <peeps123> I'll try
[09:53] <soreau> peeps123: If you are already here then your internet is working fine. nm-applet must be misreporting or you have a wifi apadter that it's reporting as not connected
[09:53] <wine> ActionParsnip: what you are telling me makes not sense.  the only way to change the version of windows is to select an application first... how can I do that if it is not installed.
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> rxd: not sure, you'd have to check man apt-get. If you are running out of space you could make a folder on a partition with space and symlink the folder where debs usually get downloaded to the new folder
[09:53] <peeps123> yes no probs
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> wine: press alt+f2 on keyboard
[09:53] <soreau> adapter*
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> wine: in the littel box type the word: winecfg
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> wine: press enter
[09:54] <rxd> ActionParsnip: ok got u...did that apt-get -o and dpkg-deb -x so i get everything in one directory
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> wine: change the windows version in that app and click apply and ok
[09:54] <wine> ActionParsnip: dude, are you drunk... I am in winecfg
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> wine: then retry the app
[09:54] <wine> actonparsnip are you messing with me... I have told you three times the application is not listed.
[09:55] <peeps123> when I visit youtube the videos keep freezing
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> wine: it in the apps tab
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> wine: at the bottom of the dialogue
[09:55] <cwickert> I got a general question about ubuntu: are new packages allowed to enter a release after the release? if so, into which repo are they? release or updates?
[09:55] <peeps123> and thats when netman tells me I have disconnected
[09:55] <rxd> ActionParsnip: ubuntu 9.10 uses aufs as default file system, so we can now create say a squashfs file out of what we are installing and merge/layer it to our rootfilesystem on the fly and it works!
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> wine: it will no doubt say Windows XP, change that to different versions, click apply and click ok, then retry the app
[09:55] <daurnimator> soreau: the sysreq stuff didn't work btw
[09:56] <Unicode> peeps123: have you flashplayer.so?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> rxd: cool
[09:56] <peeps123> cool thought ubuntu would have installed it......probably not
[09:56] <peeps123> I'll away and download it
[09:56] <Giles> The sequence numbers output by dmesg...what are they, can they be releated back to a date/time?
[09:57] <soreau> peeps123: There is a red bar that shows the download progress of the video file. It will temporarily be stored as /tmp/Flash*****. After the red bar in FF is all the way full, it means it downloaded. So try mplayer /tmp/Flash<press tab> and see if it plays better that way
[09:58] <rxd> ActionParsnip: very good now i got ubuntu 9.10 on usb stick so i mount my squashfs file from hd partition say wine.sfs and do a mount -o remount,append:/wine / and wine apps get merge to my root
[09:58] <erikk71> hi all
[09:58] <jhernandez> hi, need help with python-parted

[10:03] <aethelrick> NeXstaR: according to google... the module you're using does not work with that version of joomla
[10:03] <soreau> erikk71: You might want to ask question of this nature in a more appropriate channel like ##hardware
[10:03] <aethelrick> NeXstaR: you need to upgrade Joomla apparently
[10:03] <NeXstaR> aesthelrick: upgrade joomla ? to what ver?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> erikk71: sudo lshw -C memory     may help

[10:14] <seena> Hi, please suggest me any ISO to CD converter
[10:14] <jimbeam12> this is driving me up the creek ActionParsnip...

[10:15] <ActionParsnip> seena: will put the iso on a cd for you nicely..
[10:15] <jimbeam12> poweiso?
[10:15] <jimbeam12> poweriso
[10:15] <seena> ok
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> seena: or do you want to mount the iso?
[10:16] <seena> ActionParsnip, No
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> seena: can you expand your issue. to put an iso on a cd you need a cd burner and cd burning software and a blank cd
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> seena: an ISO is an image of a CD
[10:16] <seena> ActionParsnip, i want to convert ISO image file to bootable disk
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> seena: if you have downloaded an Ubuntu ISO, just open it with your burning app and it will be bootable
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> seena: you do not extract the files then burn those
[10:18] <seena> ActionParsnip, that sounds good.
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> seena: is that what you mean?
[10:18] <indus> seena: just burn the iso as an image file
[10:18] <indus> seena: what ActionParsnip said
[10:18] <mcarter> hello

[10:20] <indus> kk
[10:20] <alkisg_work> (ty)
[10:21] <seena> ActionParsnip, indus: my question was, am i able to convert the ISO image file to bootable disk and use it as a bootable cd, and if so please suggest on the software that supports

[11:22] <ActionParsnip> azlon: nslookup www.google.com; dig www.google.com
[11:22] <Qrawl_> How can I make vlc pause when it loses focus
[11:23] <Qrawl_> or is there a media player that can do this
[11:24] <azlon> ActionParsnip: they timed out.
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> azlon: are you connected to a router?
[11:24] <azlon> yes, but a different subdomain
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> azlon: can you ping the IP of that?
[11:25] <azlon> ActionParsnip: the router is 192.168.1.1 and this computer is 192.168.0.1
[11:25] <orattue> how do i upgrade one specific program using apt-get?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> azlon: can you ping your default gateway? it will be in the 192.168.0.0 network
[11:25] <azlon> ActionParsnip: i can ping from this computer to the other computers, i can also ping this computer to google.com, but i cannot ping google from the other computers
[11:25] <Unicode> man apt-get
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> orattue: sudo apt-get --reinstall install <name>
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> azlon: do you have nameservers defined in /etc/resolv.conf
[11:26] <azlon> ActionParsnip: yes, i can ping the gateway

[11:26] <ArcticAzure> hello
[11:26] <leaf-sheep> Qrawl_: Also, I'm not sure if you can pause and such. Worth a try. :O)
[11:26] <ArcticAzure> Does anyone know how to have a program write to a file that doesn't actually save to the hard disk?
[11:26] <azlon> ActionParsnip: is that on the server or on the clients?
[11:26] <Qrawl_> leaf-sheep, ty
[11:27] <ArcticAzure> I'm trying to use dvgrab to write to a file that doesn't save to the hard disk, and have vlc stream off that file
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> ArcticAzure: you have a ram storage based folder
[11:27] <tomrian> hi! i can't hear streaming audio in amarok
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> ArcticAzure: i think its /dev/shm
[11:28] <ArcticAzure> ActionParsnip: thanks
[11:28] <ArcticAzure> i'll try that
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> ArcticAzure: check into it first though
[11:29] <azlon> ActionParsnip: i have "nameserver 78.159.162.7" in my resolv.conf on the server and "192.168.0.1" on the client
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> azlon: can you ping 78.159.162.7
[11:29] <bigmack83_> i wanted to try the 9.10 alpha release to test my laptops hardware with it. is there a way i can download the .iso/files in a way that can be updated through a versioning system (if they are even kept on one for people to pull from). I dont have the fastest net connection and dont want to have to re-download the disc every time it updates
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> !karmic | bigmack83_
[11:30] <azlon> ActionParsnip: yes from the server, no from the client
[11:30] <bigmack83_> ActionParsnip, thanks
[11:30] <azlon> ActionParsnip: the client says "connect: Network is unreachable"
[11:30] <ArcticAzure> ActionParsnip: does /dev/shm write to anything? Will I eventually find that something gets used up, like RAM?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> azlon: what is the output of: route
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> azlon: use http://pastebin.com
[11:31]  * ArcticAzure watches system monitor
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> ArcticAzure: the ram is where the data is stored, it is lost on reboot
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> ArcticAzure: its is dynamic too so will expand as you write to the folder
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> ArcticAzure: mount will tell you where its mounted
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> ArcticAzure: you may need to mount it yourself but theres something to do with that device
[11:33] <ArcticAzure> I tried setting up my camcorder as a video4linux device with dv4l and vloopback, and also tried dv4vloopback, both of them didn't work right
[11:34] <ArcticAzure> I dvgrabbed to /dev/shm and it worked sorta
[11:34] <azlon> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m393be149
[11:34] <azlon> ActionParsnip: the first one is the server, the second is the client
[11:35] <ArcticAzure> i want something that erases older data in the file as it is being witten, like data that has already been streamed is erased at the same time new data is being written to be streamed
[11:35] <xguru> what is a good gtk2 theme switcher?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> azlon: you may need to add another route for the other network to make traffic destined for 192.168.1.0 go down eth0 too
[11:36] <azlon> ActionParsnip: hrmm... ok how can i do that? route -?
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> azlon: the intelligence in the LAN will route the data
[11:36] <xguru> gtk+chtheme, and it doesn't seem to change every aspect of the theme such as pointer and icons...
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> azlon: there are guides on route, as well as man route
[11:36] <ArcticAzure> thanks ActionParsnip, I think that should work for now
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> ArcticAzure: cool
[11:37] <azlon> ActionParsnip: ok, i will figure out the command, but the jist of it is that i wan to add a route with a destination of 192.168.0.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, genmask of 255.255.255.0, and use inface of eth0, right?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> azlon: you already have that setup
[11:37] <devilbues> hello, how do I mount an usb photo camera without using gnome or kde?
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> azlon: you need to ad an extra router to point 192.168.1.0 down eth0 too
[11:38] <ArcticAzure> I wish vlc could just connect to /dev/raw1394 directly
[11:38] <azlon> ok
[11:39] <orattue> Anyone know of any problems with keyserver.ubuntu.com?
[11:40] <Walex> devilbues: usually they are automounted.
[11:41] <DJones> orattue: I've seen a few comments that keyserver is either down/slow
[11:41] <orattue> DJones: thanks
[11:41] <devilbues> Walex: it only mounts inside gnome, If I run fdisk -l doesn't show anything
[11:41] <azlon> ActionParsnip: i needed to add that route on the server, not the clients, right?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> azlon: whatever cannot access the 168.1.0 network, add the route and test, you can always remove it
[11:44] <Walex> devilbues: 'fdisk' just shows partitions.
[11:45] <Walex> devilbues: try just 'cat /proc/mounts'.
[11:45] <njbair> is there a program meant to take a linux pc's man pages and serve them as html?
[11:45] <Walex> devilbues: unless your camera does not have USB storage device interface. In which case bad news.
[11:45] <Walex> njbair: yes.
[11:46] <njbair> awesome. do you know what it's called?
[11:46] <jrib> njbair: see the footer at manpages.ubuntu.com for example
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> njbair: could try:     man:cp     in nauitlus' address bar, Konqueror can do it
[11:47] <devilbues> Walex: the camera is mounted right now and working fine on gnome but I don't see anything with 'cat /proc/mounts'
[11:48] <azlon> ActionParsnip: still nothing
[11:49] <azlon> ActionParsnip: i added the route to both the server and client
[11:49] <cgroza> !parabyte
[11:49] <riverfr0zen> hi there -- is there a 'safe' way to remove an external usb hdd on usb (besides just pulling it out)
[11:50] <riverfr0zen> err, on usb = on ubuntu
[11:50] <mv> :riverfr0zen: just umount it in term !
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> azlon: as long as it is appropriate for both, you may have to sketch you network to work out the routes properly
[11:51] <ajochope> hi
[11:51] <riverfr0zen> mv: so just umount, and disconnect, eh? thanks
[11:55] <csaba> I have a simple html index of a directory, with links to files. Anyone knows of a script which would download all the files from that index?
[11:55] <azlon> ActionParsnip: already did: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7965412
[11:56] <mv> riverfr0zen: sudo umount /media/XXX and that's all :-)
[11:56] <csaba> I have a simple html index of a directory, with links to files. Anyone knows of a script which would download all the files from that index?
[11:56] <ajochope> Need help with two wifi cards, one is the usb wifi card and the other one is the internal notebook wifi card, the networkmanager always up the internal card and if I plug both cards networkmanager do not start work thanks for help me
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> azlon: ok then the router to server is the 192.168.1.0 network I'm guesing. And the routers LAN is 192.168.0.0
[11:59] <azlon> ActionParsnip: the router is 192.168.1.0 but i have static ips for every machine which is on the 192.168.0.0 domain
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> azlon: only the 192.168.0.0 systems need the route adding, the router will see the address is not for its own network and push the data out to the server
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> azlon: the server will then see the traffic coming in and puh it to the www as spanning tree prevents it from sending the data back down the interface the data was recieved on, so will push it to the next hop (www)
[12:01] <azlon> ActionParsnip: i have the route added to both the server and client (netbook in diagram), still doesnt work
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> azlon: the server doesnt need the route, its already part of the 192.168.1.0 network
[12:02] <azlon> ActionParsnip: ok, let me delete it
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> azlon: you could add a route to the server to tell it the interface to access the 192.168.0.0 network via the interface connected to the router if it doesnt already have it
[12:04] <azlon> ActionParsnip: ok... so add 192.168.0.0 for eth0 (eth0 connects to the network, ppp0 connects to the itnernet)
[12:06] <azlon> hrmm
[12:07] <azlon> cant add a net for some reason... trying to do sudo -i route add -net 192.168.0.0 eth1
[12:07] <azlon> i can add a host but not a  net
[12:10] <azlon1> bah
[12:10] <azlon1> got disconnected
[12:10] <azlon1> ActionParsnip: am i adding a net or a host to the route table on the client machines?
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> azlon1: i'd ask in #networking  they may be able to advise better
[12:11] <azlon1> ok
[12:14] <TNk> Greetings.
[12:15] <TNk> I'm getting a weird error when running "Firefox" that renders it virtually useless. (http://pastebin.com/m3bae3a0a) The only way to get past it is to run it with "sudo".
[12:16] <TNk> I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, even purging and installing, but that hasn't worked.
[12:16] <jrib> TNk: create a new profile
[12:17] <joebodo> u can try a new profile by typing "firefox -p"
[12:17] <jrib> TNk: or (as I suspect) change ownership of your .mozilla back to your user instead of root
[12:18] <TNk> jrib: I'll try the 2nd option 1st. That's done with... chroot?
[12:18] <jrib> !permissions | TNk, no
[12:18] <TNk> jrib: Thanks for your help, I'll try that and let you know.
[12:19] <mv> Tnk : chown user /XX
[12:19] <jrib> TNk: you need to apply the change recursively as well
[12:19] <maximaze> sa va
[12:19] <maximaze> y as pas un qui parle francais ici
[12:20] <joebodo> !fr | maximaze
[12:22] <timClicks> what is the normal behaviour of apport?
[12:23] <timClicks> i think mine's crashing before delivering anything to anyone...
[12:24] <mv> bye all !
[12:24] <timClicks> !info apport
[12:24] <TNk> jrib: Sorry to ask, but I don't know how to apply the chmod for Firefox, there are too many "firefox" around, many folders and such. Should I apply it to every folder?
[12:25] <timClicks> TNk what do you want to achieve?
[12:25] <timClicks> you shouldn't need to set the permissions to run firefox normally
[12:25] <TNk> timClicks: I want to achieve a functional firefox.
[12:25] <jrib> TNk: you need to apply the ownership change to ~/.mozilla/ recursively, that's it
[12:26] <TNk> jrib: THanks. :-)
[12:26] <timClicks> TNk: that's easiest to do via Nautilus
[12:26] <jrib> TNk has been running firefox with sudo
[12:26] <timClicks> :/
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> thats a scary thought
[12:27] <TNk> jrib: sudo chmod -R / home/francisco/.mozilla that looks good?
[12:28] <jrib> TNk: no, you want to change ownership, not permissions.   chmod is for permissions
[12:28] <TNk> It wasn't intentional, It happened after I messed up with VMWare
[12:28] <TNk> jrib: sudo chown -R / home/francisco/.mozilla then
[12:28] <jrib> TNk: close, now you need to specify what owner you want to change it to...
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> You have to tell it the new owner. :)
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> chown username.username whatever
[12:29] <jrib> sudo chown -R $USER: ~/.mozilla   will work
[12:29] <joebodo> sudo chown -R user.group ~/.mozilla
[12:29] <jrib> . is deprecated!
[12:29] <TNk> Oh. The link you sent was for chmod. :-) That's what I was reading.
[12:29] <jrib> TNk: scroll down
[12:30] <jrib> TNk: you should probably close firefox by the way before doing this

Some of the settings you have selected may not take effect, or may not be restored next time you use the application." Google hasn;t been able to help me so far, can...
[12:32] <user___> ...someone point me in the correct direction please?
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> user___:  this is your own personal system you installed? not some work machine?
[12:34] <jimjimovich1> is it possible to have a computer automatically log into the Guest Account?
[12:34] <user___> personal system, only started happening yesterday. It may have been caused by me changing some permissions but I can;t be sure
[12:34] <TNk> Great! It worked like a Charm
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> jimjimovich1:  the 'guest' account is a special temp account. No way to autologin to it..
[12:34] <zeroc> blq bla
[12:34] <TNk> Many thanks guys, really. :-)
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> jimjimovich1:  you could sort of  make a similer account that can auto login. but ive never tried.
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> user___: make sure you are the owner and have at least read and write access to everything in /home/$USER
[12:35] <jrib> !gksudo | TNk
[12:35] <jrib> heh too late
[12:35] <jimjimovich1> Dr_Willis: Any way to make an account that reverts to it's original state each time someone uses it?
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> jimjimovich1:  there proberly are. ive never bothered.
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> jimjimovich1:  gnome also has some koisk mode/features that people rarely hear about/use also. :) to lock down settings where people cant change them

[12:42] <Dr_Willis> user___:  or chown it to be 644 like it says.
[12:43] <fallenpoet> user___ | you should do chmod -R u+rw $HOME

[13:00] <geirha> Maleko: find . ! -name '.*'     # If that looks right, add -delete at the end
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> geirha: brave soul
[13:01] <squircle> Hi everyone; when I boot my new ubuntu install, the bootloader drops me down to a shell after "waiting for root device" and says /dev/sdb1 does not exist. and when i do ls /dev, there is nothing that's hdx or sdx. what do I do?
[13:01] <geirha> Maleko: Oh and you might want -type f to only target files
[13:01] <geirha> ActionParsnip: How so?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> squircle: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded? did you verify the d once booted to?
[13:02] <squircle> ActionParsnip: yes, I did.
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> geirha: i wouldnt have touched that with the longest pole I could find
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> squircle: good
[13:02] <squircle> ActionParsnip: what's weird is I can mount the drive if i boot into anything else
[13:02] <squircle> just the bootloader doesn't want to mount it... there isn't any /dev/sdx
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> squircle: strange, the fstab should be populated properly
[13:02] <Cyrano_Zz> squircle: sudo fdisk -l
[13:02] <Maleko> geirha: like this? find . -type f -name ! '.*'
[13:03] <squircle> ActionParsnip: fstab was populated properly, i checked
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> squircle: boot to live CD and use UIDs instead, youo can update fstab to reflect
[13:03] <squircle> ActionParsnip: it was using UUIDs and failing; i changed it to block devices and it's still not working
[13:03] <geirha> Maleko: find . -type f ! -name '.*'   make sure you try on a test tree/copy first
[13:03] <squircle> Cyrano_Zz: gimme a sec to get out of the busybox shell; it's really limited
[13:04] <ynk> okay, so i downloaded a file with the extension .sh... how do i install it? o_O
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> ynk:  and what is this whtever.sh supposed to install?
[13:04] <ynk> Dr_Willis, it installs Netbeans.
[13:05] <squircle> ActionParsnip: if it's not working with UUIDs or block devices, what could that mean?
[13:05] <ynk> Dr_Willis, i found the one in the repository to be out of date.
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> ynk:  if it needs to be ran as root 'sudo sh whatever.sh' or not  'sh whatever.sh' for a singler user install
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> squircle: no idea, its usually one or the other
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> squircle: if you run: sudo blkid   did te UIDs match?
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> ynk:  or chmod +x whatever.sh   then ./whatever.sh
[13:05] <ynk> Dr_Willis, ah, okay. i'll give it a shot. thanks.
[13:06] <jkkk> where is the named error log?
[13:07] <squircle> ActionParsnip: yes, they do.
[13:08] <squircle> ActionParsnip: they match my fstab and menu.lst
[13:08] <getxsick> hi, i'm looking for chargen but can't find it in /etc/init.d
[13:08] <Maleko> geirha: yea that works so next i just do this? find . -type f ! -name '.*' -delete ? or -exec rm -f {} \;
[13:08] <haowan> Ubuntu 9.10 Out ?
[13:09] <rski> haowan: no
[13:09] <rski> !karmic
[13:09] <geirha> Maleko: Yes. the -exec is the portable way, while -delete is specific to GNU find (which ubuntu has)
[13:11] <Maleko> geirha: ah okay. thanks so much :)
[13:11] <geirha> Maleko: yw
[13:13] <squircle> ActionParsnip: would the error "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured" help at all?
[13:13] <gajop> mouse cursor doesn't autohide in gmplayer, but does in mplayer, any resolution?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> squircle: i'd try a reinstall
[13:15] <squircle> ActionParsnip: Come to think of it, i restarted after an update when this happened, and it said something about failing to update a ramfs or something, and i was too naïve to write it down
[13:15] <squircle> ActionParsnip: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devmapper/+bug/358654
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> gajop:  seems to be a known bug from what i just googled.
[13:16] <Maleko> geirha: sorry, any idea why it refuses to delete folders? i have specified -rf with rm
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> squircle: looks like a plan
[13:16] <squircle> ActionParsnip: Seems from the bug that if I chroot in, i should be able to make it work.
[13:16] <squircle> i'll try.
[13:17] <jiohdi> maleko, are you trying to delete as root?
[13:17] <Maleko> normal users
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> gajop:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/64901   with links to updated mplayer
[13:17] <gajop> Dr_Willis, i know, i was hoping there was a known solution as well :P
[13:17] <geirha> Maleko: The parent directories have probably been deleted first.
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> gajop:  there is.. :) on the bug report page.
[13:17] <jiohdi> maleko, its owner may not be user
[13:18] <geirha> Maleko: Oh, and your find only targets files
[13:18] <maxime_> !fr
[13:18] <gajop> Dr_Willis, the last comment is a lie, i'm using 9.10 alpha, and i still have the issue
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> gajop:  if you are having issues with 9.10 - you should be un #ubuntu+1 i guess.
[13:19] <gajop> okay, thanks
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> gajop:  re-open the bug report like it asks then perhaps.
[13:20] <deviant-route> Good morning everyone. Ok here is my problem everytime i open Log File Viewer it keeps showing me this error /var/log/btmp The file is not a regular file or is not a text file.
[13:20] <h1231enry> hello! i need to know the proper commands for using IRC. thanks
[13:21] <Maleko> geirha: so i need to add -type df ?
[13:21] <christina> hello members, I installed only  ubuntu 9.04 on an old computer p4 1.5ghz, 512 mb ram , installation completes without any problem but after restarting pc I get the GRUb menu and after i can see the message "booting from hd0,0" but after this I got the black screen and then nothing happens but system is still on
[13:21] <jiohdi> h1231enry: commands to do what?
[13:21] <h1231enry> basic commands. I want to know how to do these. example "username : hi"
[13:21] <geirha> Maleko: If I understood what you wanted to do correctly, you risk removing hidden files if you do rm -rf
[13:21] <rski> h1231enry: typing and using enter to send text? :p
[13:22] <jiohdi> christina, did you to a md5sum on the installation programs to make sure it was not corrupted?
[13:22] <csaba> how can I recursively list all files that are symlinks in a directory?
[13:22] <rski> hipodilski: /nick whateveryouwant
[13:22] <rski> er... h1231enry
[13:22] <h1231enry> no I mean
[13:22] <h1231enry> including the name of the person that you want but not PM
[13:22] <Pici> !tab | h1231enry
[13:22] <Sagaci> christina: have you tried waiting a few minutes, or do you just restart
[13:23] <rski> just type it or autocomplete it h1231enry with tab
[13:23] <h1231enry> Sagaci asd
[13:23] <deviant-route> any advice on how to fix this error => /var/log/btmp The file is not a regular file or is not a text file.
[13:23] <geirha> Maleko: Maybe you rather want find . -depth -type d ! -name ".*" -exec echo rmdir {} \;
[13:23] <christina> yea i waited 5 minutes but still the black screen, but once after 6 minutes ubuntu got started
[13:23] <Sagaci> h1231enry: ?
[13:23] <csaba> how can I recursively list all files that are symlinks in a directory?
[13:23] <geirha> Maleko: rmdir will only remove a directory if it is empty
[13:23] <h1231enry> for example i see your message blue not black
[13:23] <h1231enry> how to?
[13:23]  * Dr_Willis wonders what color this is.
[13:24] <Pici> !offtopic
[13:24] <rski> h1231enry: depends onn the client, chek what you use and dig up it's manual
[13:24] <Maleko> geirha: thats a safer solution i guess. thanks again
[13:24] <Maleko> :)
[13:24] <h1231enry> ok thanks!
[13:24] <jrib> csaba: man find, see -type
[13:24] <Sagaci> christina: yeah same with my old dell pc, the boot splash doesn't seem to load so it's just a blank screen, i'm not too worried about it, maybe something to do with the graphics installed, of the lack thereof
[13:24] <christina> then what to do ? do i need to install windows again
[13:24] <christina> ?
[13:25] <csaba> thanks
[13:25] <deviant-route> any advice on how to fix this error => /var/log/btmp The file is not a regular file or is not a text file.
[13:25] <rski> christina: do what that if you feel it's necesary
[13:25] <Sagaci> christina: what version of ubuntu are you running
[13:25] <rski> is*
[13:25] <christina> i installed ubuntu 9.04 on that old pc
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> deviant-route: what is the output of: file /var/log/btmp
[13:26] <jiohdi> deviant-route, you can try removing the file and replacing it with a standard txt file
[13:26] <christina> but now its not loading after boot messages
[13:26] <jiohdi> deviant, mv filex to filex.backup and then make a new one :)
[13:26] <squircle> ActionParsnip: It seemed to work, and it regenerated my initrd without error, but it nuked my vmlinuz; any way to get it back?
[13:26] <Sagaci> christina: it doesn't boot, or it just takes a long time?
[13:26] <getxsick> anyone knows how to run chargen service?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> squircle: no idea man, let me websearch
[13:27] <deviant-route> ActionParsnip: it says Impossible to open the file /var/log/btmp
[13:27] <christina> after fresh installation it boot once after waiting 5 minutes but now its not booting after 6-7 minutes :-(
[13:27] <stevecoh1> I have ubuntu 9.04.  I've noticed that the screensaver has stopped working.  How to debug and fix?

[13:40] <Oli``> Anyone here well versed in regexes? I'm trying to use the rename command to rename a batch of files but I need to use a "named group" in my regex "rename 's/(?:0(?P<var>\d)|(?P<var>[1-9]?\d))/text $var text/i' * -v" That's not the proper way to reference var. What is?
[13:40] <jrib> Oli``: $1 $2, etc
[13:40] <Oli``> jrib: is there no way to use the actual name?
[13:40] <jrib> Oli``: do you need them to be named?
[13:40] <szeck> sipior?
[13:41] <sipior> szeck: thinking.
[13:41] <Oli``> jrib: the actual regex is a lot more complicated so yeah
[13:41] <szeck> sipior: thanks
[13:41] <jrib> Oli``: you might check the perl regex manpages then

[13:50] <Halitech> cyberjorge, you can use nmap and scan the network
[13:50] <jrib> Oli``: so since I am using perl 5.10 this should work right? :)
[13:50] <deviant-route> cyberjorge: have you tried nmap?
[13:50] <jimbeam12> cool thx ..ill get stuck onto that see what happens..
[13:50] <cyberjorge> Halitech: what's the exact command?
[13:50] <jimbeam12> thx guys
[13:51] <FiloSottile> on a new installed ubuntu when i hit enter after entering my password in gdm it blocks on the password window
[13:51] <FiloSottile> please help me...
[13:51] <Oli``> jrib: well the \k... is technically a back-reference... I'm not sure if they behave the same way in substitutions
[13:51] <Oli``> jrib: well they clearly don't =)
[13:51] <jrib> Oli``: ah, good point
[13:51] <Halitech> cyberjorge, nmap [ <Scan Type>  ...] [ <Options>  ] { <target specification>  } ... http://nmap.org/book/man.html
[13:51] <cyberjorge> Nmap done: 21 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 6.095 seconds, means nothing connected? how can i see their IP's?
[13:52] <Oli``> jrib: I'll pop a question up on StackOverflow and see if anybody else knows the answer
[13:52] <deviant-route> cyberjorge: try using fping
[13:52] <jrib> Oli``: #perl would probably know too
[13:52] <Oli``> fair point
[13:53] <jimbeam12> jrib hows the weather there.
[13:53] <jrib> jimbeam12: pretty nice actually

[13:56] <cyberjorge> these guys here at bona are open source advocates, they have ubuntu computer station here which i am using
[13:57] <cyberjorge> no bona coffee shop
[13:58] <cyberjorge> h1231enry: much like starbucks, but way better they even have free wifi and free computer station for use
[13:58] <h1231enry> cyberjorge : WOW. Ako kasi dito lang sa bahay, e tambay tambay ako dito sa ubuntu kasi gusto ko rin matuto.
[13:58] <user___> Dr_Willis:  Is there somewhere in particular I could go to get further help with this?
[13:58] <cyberjorge> h1231enry: i got used with ubuntu cause it's what they use here
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> cyberjorge: you will need to look at nmap and how to scan the network addresses for your subnet to see what is going on
[13:59] <cyberjorge> i heared good things about ubuntu here from bona guys that's why i have one in my house too
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> cyberjorge: in the same sweep you can have it query the hosts for what services they provide etc
[13:59] <h1231enry> cyberjorge : does Ubuntu work perfectly on WIFI networks? Kasi LAN pa lang tina try ko. Hindi pa sa laptop ko.
[14:00] <rek> hello
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> cyberjorge: ubuntu is just a debian based Linux. Linux in general is good fun
[14:00] <cyberjorge> ActionParsnip: hhmm... i see, you an exact command for me? for this ip range 192.168.1.1 - 20
[14:00] <Oli``> jrib: $+{var}
[14:00] <metajemo> #part ubuntu
[14:00] <metajemo> ooops
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> cyberjorge: http://nmap.org/book/man-examples.html
[14:00] <rek> what do i need to create a ntfs partition with gparted?
[14:00] <jrib> Oli``: I saw, thanks.  /me remembers why he decided to learn python instead of perl
[14:01] <cyberjorge> h1231enry: perfectly, this ubuntu unit i'm using here at bona coffee is in ubuntu
[14:01] <Oli``> jrib: haha yeah same here
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> cyberjorge: http://nmap.org/book/nmap-overview-and-demos.html
[14:02] <docoliver> having some problems writing a script using start-stop-deamon and openconnect
[14:02] <JuJuBee> I use my laptop for web development and somehow postfix got installed and I do not wish it to be.  How can I find out what program installed postfix as a dependency?
[14:02] <h1231enry> cyberjorge : Yeah. I really want ubuntu over Windows, because it is easy to use though hard to install and run for the first timers
[14:02] <deviant-route> cyberjorge: sudo apt-get install fping then fping -g 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.20 to show you if the hosts are alive or unreachable
[14:03] <docoliver> anyone have some experience with authoring init.d scripts?
[14:03] <jrib> !anyone | docoliver
[14:03] <BWARG> i need to fix my boot loader
[14:03] <Cyrano_Zz> cyberjorge: You you looking to see what hosts are alive only?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> !grub | BWARG
[14:03] <llutz> docoliver: see /etc/init.d/README + skeleton
[14:04] <BWARG> thank you !
[14:04] <erUSUL> JuJuBee: many programs has a mta as recomended package so they can mail the admin about isuues like smartmontools and the like
[14:04] <cyberjorge> h1231enry: you'll get use to it, it's fun learning ubuntu. Here at bona coffee, they have ubuntu cpu with 2 users
[14:04] <docoliver> or rather, for some reason openconnect is not liking getting passwords from a conf file, so I have to pass it on stdin, made that work with '< /file/name'
[14:04] <Cyrano_Zz> cyberjorge: for i in `seq 1 254`; do ping -c 1 192.168.1.$i; done
[14:05] <cyberjorge> Cyrano_Zz: yes, one exactly is the ip address of my router as i forgot which ip I assigned :D
[14:05] <docoliver> but then openconnect backgrounds using a different pid then the initial startup pid, so start-stop-daemon gets confused and stores the wrong thing.
[14:05] <h1231enry> cyberjorge : yeah I'm happy because I'm now using Linux,
[14:05] <JuJuBee> erUSUL: would it be terrible to uninstall postfix?  I do not want an mta installed on my laptop.
[14:05] <Cyrano_Zz> cyberjorge: Replace 192.168.1 with the subnet you are trying.
[14:05] <erUSUL> JuJuBee: no; it will not be terrible
[14:05] <docoliver> so I try --background via start-stop-daemon instead, but then my stdin input looks borked.
[14:06] <JuJuBee> ok, thanks for the info.  I think it is in fact smartmontools that I installed a few weeks ago...
[14:06] <cyberjorge> h1231enry: and best of all it's free! ;) let's sometime here at bona, they have branch at westgate alabang and in bf
[14:07] <h1231enry> cyberjorge : I'm near Alabang and BF homes Las Pinas. Yep some time I'll go and visit Bona
[14:07] <h1231enry> cyberjorge : though I don't know where. :)
[14:07] <Pici> cyberjorge, h1231enry: By the way, this channel is for support issues only, it may be best to continue your conversation in private or in #ubuntu-offtopic  Thanks!
[14:07] <cyberjorge> h1231enry: let me know so I can me with you, show you some of my ubuntu stuff
[14:08] <cyberjorge> Pici: sorry for that
[14:09] <h1231enry> cyberjorge : yeah sure. Though haven't got time as I'm still a student. :)
[14:09] <charlie-jayne> hello
[14:09] <Halitech> !hi | charlie-jayne
[14:10] <charlie-jayne> can someone in here tell me how I can me a bootable usb with a .img file
[14:10] <charlie-jayne> ?
[14:12] <Halitech> charlie-jayne, ubuntu or windows?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: use dd to put it onto te usb
[14:13] <taller> espanol
[14:13] <Halitech> !es | taller
[14:13] <charlie-jayne> Halitech: I am currenlty using gnewsense and I am wanting to but ubutnu on my eeepc
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: you put it on the disk too (e.g. /dev/sdb) and not the partition (e.g. /dev/sdb1)
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: if your usb device is a different dev, use its name, the command is: sudo dd if=imagefile.img of=/dev/sdb
[14:14] <FiloSottile> http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,320526.0.html
[14:14] <FiloSottile> sorry for the spam
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: you will need to point the command at te image file (you can use absolutes if you wish)
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: you can check the /dev/  entry with: sudo fdisk -l
[14:15] <charlie-jayne> /dev/sdb1             3.9G  4.0K  3.9G   1% /media/USB
[14:15] <cws_> Hi everybody, I moved a file to a server 1 hour ago. I don't have access to the server anymore... Is there a way to recover the file on my computer?
[14:15] <rsouthard> hello does anyone know if port 161 is closed by default? I have ran a netstat -an | grep "LISTEN" | grep 161 and it is not returning anything. I can not find iptables to turn it off.
[14:16] <erUSUL> rsouthard: if nothing is listenenig on that port the port is closed
[14:16] <charlie-jayne> ActionParsnip: fdisk -l does nothing
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: ok then run: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; sudo dd if=<image file here> of=/dev/sdb
[14:16] <FiloSottile> please, someone http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,320526.0.html
[14:16] <Halitech> charlie-jayne, use sudo fdisk -l
[14:16] <rsouthard> erUSUL how would i go about completely turning off the firewall?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: you will need to replace <image file here> with the actual file with path
[14:17] <erUSUL> rsouthard: depends on what firewall you enabled. by default none is enabled in ubuntu
[14:17] <charlie-jayne> i am very confused
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: ok you downloaded the img file, yes
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: where is it and whats its name
[14:17] <rsouthard> erUSUAL: i have enabled nothing. I havent installed iptables, guarddog or anything
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: is it by any chance on the desktop??
[14:17] <charlie-jayne> yes
[14:17] <rsouthard> erUSUL just a default install.
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> (stupid firefox defaul)
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: ok and what is the filename?
[14:18] <Cyrano_Zz> ActionParsnip: I REALLY hate that default
[14:18] <Cyrano_Zz> ActionParsnip: Propagates cluttered desktops and disorganization
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Cyrano_Zz: me too, theres a perfectly good ~/Downloads folder, go figure
[14:18] <charlie-jayne> ActionParsnip: ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386(2).img
[14:18] <erUSUL> rsouthard: the there is no firewall running o your machine
[14:19] <Cyrano_Zz> Although admin vs sales guy has a great bit on "cluttered" desktops
[14:19] <tstebut_> Hello
[14:19] <charlie-jayne> ActionParsnip: i'm going to pm you the output of sudo fdisk -l
[14:19] <rsouthard> erUSUL: i ran whereis iptables and it showed up in /sbin/iptables but there is not an entry in /etc/init.d to stop it
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; sudo dd if=~/Desktop/ ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386\(2\).img of=/dev/sdb
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> charlie-jayne: you need the \s in the command as you have braces in the filename
[14:21] <erUSUL> rsouthard: so? the iptables binary is there to make a firewall if you want. but as i said there is *no* firewall on a default install
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> oops, parenthesis
[14:21] <rsouthard> erUSUL: what would be blocking the port then?
[14:22] <rsouthard> erUSUL
[14:22] <rsouthard> erUSUL: thank you for the help btw.
[14:23] <erUSUL> rsouthard: as i said. if nothing is listening in the port the port is "closed". you showed with netstat that nothing is listning there so nothiong can respond
[14:23] <rsouthard> erUSUL: is there a way to open it?
[14:24] <erUSUL> rsouthard: launch a program that listens there
[14:24] <erUSUL> rsouthard: explain what are you trying to do, becouse so far you are not making much sense to me..
[14:25] <rsouthard> erUSUL i am trying to open port 161, 162 for cacti
[14:25] <erUSUL> rsouthard: for the port to be "open" as you define cacti has to be running and binded to that port
[14:25] <rsouthard> erUSUL: i have a default 8.04 LTS install. with snmp installed and postresql.
[14:25] <erUSUL> rsouthard: is cacti running ?
[14:25] <rsouthard> erUSUL: yes.
[14:27] <erUSUL> rsouthard: do « sudo lsof -i :161 »
[14:27] <MasterofPuppets> Hey guys, just a question: vol_id doesn't return any UUID 'cuz it says "command not found". Any ideas?
[14:28] <rsouthard> erUSUL: root@dkc-dev19:/etc/init.d# sudo lsof -i :161
[14:28] <rsouthard> COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
[14:28] <rsouthard> snmpd   9023 snmp    6u  IPv4 515154      0t0  UDP localhost:snmp
[14:28] <FloodBot2> rsouthard: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:29] <rsouthard> erUSUL http://paste.ubuntu.com/277944/
[14:29] <erUSUL> rsouthard: so here it is snmpd is listenning there
[14:29] <lianimator> is the osd notification configuration in karmic? can I disable it for IM messages?
[14:29] <bazhang> lianimator, #ubuntu+1 for karmic discussion please
[14:30] <Cyrano_Zz> MasterofPuppets: sudo blkid
[14:30] <erUSUL> rsouthard: how are you trying to connect to the port ?
[14:30] <h1231enry> Good Evening
[14:30] <scyx> has anyone been able to boot the karmic-moblin-remix usb live image? all i get is the default panels with a different icon theme.. =/
[14:30] <llutz> MasterofPuppets: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[14:31] <cyberjorge> scyx: is that a beta (karmic) or is it been released?
[14:31] <MasterofPuppets> llutz: Does that do the same function?
[14:31] <scyx> cyberjorge: it's alpha (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-moblin-remix/daily-live/current/)
[14:31] <MasterofPuppets> Cyrano_ZZ: Thanks
[14:31] <rsouthard> erUSL public string with cacti.
[14:32] <bazhang> !karmic | scyx cyberjorge
[14:32] <llutz> MasterofPuppets: it shows actual UUIDs, yes
[14:32] <MasterofPuppets> llutz: Ah, ok. On that topic, anybody good with scripts here?
[14:33] <scyx> well, is there a live version of the jaunty/moblin remix somewhere that apparently gets shipped with dells right now?
[14:33] <Cyrano_Zz> MasterofPuppets: What kind of scripts?
[14:33] <Spike1506> whenever i try to boot ubuntu the kernel returns a error softreset failed, device not ready
[14:33] <Spike1506> now how can i get the full error?
[14:33] <Spike1506> its a kernel error
[14:33] <erUSUL> rsouthard: and how it fails ? is the machine behind a router with its own firewall ?
[14:33] <MasterofPuppets> Cyrano_ZZ: Just something I can run to backup my personal files to a separate partition every day. I'd like to automate it because I do it daily
[14:33] <Cyrano_Zz> Spike1506: Did the machine boot up eventually.  If so look in /var/log/messages.2.gz
[14:34] <Spike1506> yeah it boots normally
[14:34] <Cyrano_Zz> Spike1506: -.2.gz
[14:34] <rsouthard> erUSUL:no
[14:34] <mweichert> hello - can someone tell me the difference between mdadm and lvm2? are they competing technologies?
[14:34] <mweichert> you would probably use one or the other, correct?
[14:34] <Cyrano_Zz> MasterofPuppets: No need to write your own script.  Look at something like rdiff-backup of backuppc.
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> mweichert: i wouldnt say competing, just 2 different options
[14:35] <Spike1506> Cyrano_Zz, there is no such file
[14:35] <Cyrano_Zz> MasterofPuppets: There are several backup packages available in the repositories.
[14:35] <Spike1506> there are syslog.*.gz files
[14:35] <mweichert> ActionParsnip, you you would use one or the other - not both, correct?
[14:35] <erUSUL> mweichert: mdadm is for the md subsystem and lvm2 is for the md subsystem of the kernel... and yes there is some overlapping in funcionality between the two (both can do levels of raid but dm has other uses)
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> mweichert: id stick to just one, yes
[14:35] <erUSUL> rsouthard: sudo iptables -L ?
[14:35] <Cyrano_Zz> Spike1506: Sorry, tab complete habbit bit me again.  Just view /var/log/messages
[14:36] <Spike1506> ty
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> mweichert: ivenot used it so couldnt comment
[14:36] <rsouthard> erUSUL: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/277957/
[14:37] <mweichert> erUSUL, is one better than the other?
[14:37] <intruder_>  
[14:37] <Spike1506> back in a bit :)
[14:37] <mgv2> what is the name of ubuntu off topic channel?
[14:37] <erUSUL> rsouthard: it looks all well (those rules where added by you; no?) dunno why the connection fails
[14:38] <user___> Dr_Willis:  I get the same problem no matter if I login as "last session", Gnome session or fail safe gnome.
[14:38] <DJones> !ot | mgv2
[14:38] <erUSUL> mweichert: i can not say i gues that all depends on what you want to do
[14:38] <MasterofPuppets> Cyano_ZZ: Thanks. Would you recommend one over the other?
[14:38] <mgv2> DJones, thanks
[14:39] <mweichert> erUSUL, well, ultimately I want a soft raid solution that offers the most flexibility and support
[14:39] <rsouthard> i think they were added by opennms and cacti
[14:40] <erUSUL> mweichert: got for mdadm then
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> !raid | mweichert
[14:40] <citrus212> hi there. i need help running smslisto on ubuntu
[14:40] <mweichert> erUSUL, curious... why?
[14:40] <citrus212> help
[14:40] <erUSUL> rsouthard: it does not matter... there is nothing blocking that port so everythn should work. the problem is elsewhere not in the firewall
[14:40] <user___> ActionParsnip:  I get the same problem no matter if I login as "last session", Gnome session or fail safe gnome.
[14:40] <citrus212> I LOVE ubuntu. best thing i have ever used.
[14:41] <citrus212> but need some help with smslisto (a voip chat)
[14:41] <citrus212> a bit like skype
[14:41] <citrus212> hello? anybody?
[14:41] <citrus212> :)
[14:41] <erUSUL> mweichert: mdadm only does raid is more focused and widely used afaik
[14:41] <rsouthard> erUSUL if that is the case why cant i do an snmpwalk
[14:42] <erUSUL> rsouthard: that i dunno;
[14:42] <mweichert> erUSUL, I notice that most distribution installers have LVM2 support - but I never see mention of mdadm
[14:42] <piccirillo> !list
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> user___: try: mv /home/<username>/.config/gnome-session/saved-session /home/<username>/.config/gnome-session/saved-session_old       in a root recovery console

[14:43] <Spike1506> this is the error i get: http://pastebin.com/m1d298495
[14:43] <Spike1506> seems to be a hardware bug
[14:43] <acostello> what program is good for using a webcam? when i type lspci i dont see it, so i guess its not a pci camera, which makes sense. any ideas? its the only thing not working on my netbook
[14:43] <erUSUL> mweichert: may be becouse lvm2/dm has more features (like encryption; dm-multipath; snapshot etc)
[14:44] <erUSUL> !webcam | acostello
[14:44] <citrus212> hi piccrillo
[14:44] <citrus212> any chance of running skype on linux

[14:44] <Spike1506> ill fill in a bug report
[14:44] <Halitech> acostello, might be running on the usb side of things, does it show up in lsusb?
[14:44] <citrus212> and would greatly appreciate it if you would help me

[14:46] <pukapuk> Hello everyone, I'm very interested in helping developing linux applications, some with Java (which I know pretty good), some with C++ (which i still don't know), and I was wondering, everytime I try to download a source of a program it seems to be more complex than what I've learned so far, I've seen a couple of SVN sources (which took me some time to figure out how that works), is there a website that can has collected simple and i
[14:46] <pukapuk> material that can teach you to develop and contribute to open source projects?
[14:47] <h1231enry> Bye guys!

[14:54] <AdvoWork> hi there. any ideas where I can go for support with ubuntu, got a problem with something, asked in here before, and on the support forums, no replies in weeks so am running out of ideas.
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> szeck: boot to recovery root console and uninstall the driver from there
[14:55] <Mohammad[B]> my NVIDIA resolution don't save and i must set new resolution how i can save it for ever ? ubuntu 9.04 and Nvidia 180.44
[14:55] <saba> ActionParsnip, thx man it worked :)
[14:55] <szeck> ActionParsnip even if i am root and in the recovery mode??
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> user___: sudo apt-get -f install 			 		
[14:56] <jkkk> genii: when was it released?
[14:56] <user___> ActionParsnip:  What will that do?
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> Mohammad[B]: run: gksudo nvidia-settings      setup the screen then click "write to xorg.conf"
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> user___: check all your packages are tidy and all deps are satisfied
[14:57] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, i do it but don't save ...
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Mohammad[B]: not if you use gksudo ;)
[14:57] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, sudo nvidia-settings ...
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Mohammad[B]: no, use gksudo. sudo is NOT for gui apps
[14:57] <MasterofPuppets> ActionParsnip: I'm back and I have more problems. :P I'm using a touchpad, and every time I reboot, it unchecks the "enable tapping" property in the settings. Ideas?
[14:58] <user___> ActionParsnip:   There is a bunch of packages that are no longer required.
[14:58] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, do it ... brb
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> user___: ok then run: sudo apt-get autoremove
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> MasterofPuppets: not sure dude, ask the channel
[14:58] <genii> jkkk: As the numbering scheme suggests, June 2006
[14:59] <MasterofPuppets> ActionParsnip: Do you think I could automate this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving || I'd like to automate it as a sort of backup
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> MasterofPuppets: you can automate anything
[15:00] <MasterofPuppets> ActionParsnip: Do I just take the actions in there and append everything with #!/bin/bash?
[15:00] <MasterofPuppets> And then paste it into a .txt file and make it a script?
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> MasterofPuppets: could do, theres also
[15:00] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, don't work
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> !backup | MasterofPuppets
[15:00] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, do you can ssh to my pc and resolve it ?
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Mohammad[B]: if you read xorg.conf does it contain the settings
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Mohammad[B]: dont let strangers onto your PC, you have no idea of their intentions
[15:01] <user___> ActionParsnip:  It removed 42 unused packages. But I still get the same error :(
[15:02] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/277977/ my xorg.conf
[15:02] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, but my resolution is 1360x768
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> Mohammad[B]: ok looks good, restart X
[15:03] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, this is after restart
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> user___: ok try this: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[15:03] <Cyrano_away> Time to make the donuts
[15:04] <user___> ActionParsnip:  What will that do?
[15:04] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, don't use of that config, but when i remove nvidia's driver from my ubuntu resolution is good and don't change ...
[15:04] <Nasten> hello!
[15:04] <Mohammad[B]> ActionParsnip, any idea ? :-s
[15:04] <Nasten> is there a way to check if the device i have connected via a jtag is visible to my ubuntu?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> user___: it will remove all firefoxes and its deps and then install a clean version. Your settings are held in ~/.mozilla so are seperate to the whole process
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Mohammad[B]: I have no idea then dude. The writing to the file usually makes things nice
[15:06] <MasterofPuppets> ActionParsnip: Is there any thing that you know of which wil backup to another partition?
[15:07] <mnemoc> hi, do you know any ppa with thunderbird-3.0 that doesn't kidnap firefox-3.5?
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> MasterofPuppets: could just use cp
[15:09] <Nasten> hi people! How can i check if my jtag connection to an fpga board works fine?
[15:10] <n8tuser> Nasten-> i would presume you can do serial comms to it right?
[15:10] <MasterofPuppets> ActipnParsnip: CP?
[15:10] <Nasten> i have no idea. I'm a newbie... :-)
[15:10] <MasterofPuppets> Oh, copy
[15:11] <MasterofPuppets> ActionParsnip: Apparently it's very unreliable in terms of moving and backup
[15:11] <n8tuser> Nasten me too on embedded boards, which board do you use?
[15:11] <trwww> Hello. I got a new disk and installed 8.04 server on a machine that had been running redhat 9 for a long time.
[15:11] <trwww> I left the old drive in as a secondary drive. Can someone point me to a reference that tells me how to probe this drive for partition info and then mount it?
[15:11] <Nasten> spartan3 gr-xc-1500s
[15:11] <trwww> I'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[15:11] <kato> hi everyone! i have a problem printing large pdf files with ubuntu server 9.04, can anyone help me?
[15:11] <Nasten> i just want to see if it echoes to my serial port
[15:11] <n8tuser> trwww-> fdisk -l   /dev/sdb
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> MasterofPuppets: i use it over firewire for backups
[15:12] <Nasten> which port is it connected...
[15:12] <Nasten> it's more of a unix question i guess
[15:12] <n8tuser> Nasten i dont know how to check, but if you google for beagle boards, that seems to have ubuntu support and usage of jtag connector
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> MasterofPuppets: its cron'd to run every 12 hours
[15:12] <trwww> n8tuser++
[15:13] <trwww> thanks!
[15:13] <trwww> all mounted now
[15:13] <Nasten> ok thanx
[15:13] <n8tuser> trwww-> you're welcome
[15:13] <Nasten> i will try that
[15:13] <spursncowboys>  Hi everyone. Yesterday I ran out of memory and then my compiz stopped working. Then my Transmission program didn't recognize any of the videos it had previously recognized. It started re downloading all the files from my Transmission to my Desktop ( I put them all in Video). I thought this is a reaction to my running out of memory. I deleted some files and restart my comp. When it started, same problem. So I deleted everything from my Transmission. N
[15:15] <MasterofPuppets> ActionParsnip: Would it do well in basic document transfer and stuff?
[15:15] <MasterofPuppets> About a gig of data
[15:15] <Newb123> I need some help, im trying to configure and save a config file outside terminal, but it says access denied.. so how do I sudo without using terminal? :s
[15:16] <kato> Newb123: use nautilus
[15:17] <Halitech> Newb123, gksudo
[15:17] <szeck> anyone can help me reset the video drivers?
[15:17] <thiebaude> szeck, which graphics card?
[15:17] <Newb123> what do you mean? the same error is when I try to create a folder or something outside my own home folder.. I want full access to everything, im the admin ffs >.<

[15:18] <mikas> hovna
[15:18] <mweichert> erUSUL, just came across EVMS as well... how does this compare to LVM2?
[15:18] <mweichert> erUSUL, is it widely supported by Linux installers yet?
[15:19] <thiebaude> !sk
[15:19] <erUSUL> mweichert: evms is built on top lvm/lvm2 (just an interface) and i thought it was abandoned
[15:19] <Halitech> Newb123, no, you are a user that can obtain admin rights with sudo or gksudo
[15:19] <mikas> negative
[15:19] <kato> Newb123: if you want to modify any protect file or folder you can use: sudo nautilus from terminal....
[15:19] <iceroot> kato: gksudo
[15:19] <thiebaude> mikas, what is your question?
[15:19] <mikas> i a friend of Sarrah Connor, i am here to protect you
[15:19] <thiebaude> !offtopic
[15:20] <Newb123> ok thanks a lot
[15:20] <Halitech> kato, Newb123 do not use sudo for graphical apps, you will mess things up, use gksudo or gksu
[15:20] <iceroot> !gksudo | Newb123
[15:20] <szeck> anyone can help me reset the video drivers?  please help

[15:27] <razor_X> squircle no i have the latest version
[15:27] <squircle> razor_X: does it prevent you from doing anything in frostwire?
[15:27] <peterva> thiebaude: I probably should as well, if I want it to work, but I like to tinker away :)
[15:27] <razor_X> squircle i cannot even start it up
[15:28] <peterva> and of course, it's only affecting 1 box, not all of them

[15:29] <razor_X> Something went wrong with LimeWire.
[15:29] <razor_X> Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
[15:29] <razor_X> (LimeWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.6+)
[15:29] <razor_X> The version of Java in your PATH is:
[15:29] <razor_X> java version "1.6.0_0"

[15:41] <jiffe> anyone dealt with ultramonkey?  I set it up last night to forward port 80 to a couple machines, and I noticed it also forwards port 443 even though its not configured to do so

[15:41] <squircle> !nvidia | JeoTheLeo
[15:41] <rski> pradeep: sure you can upgrade.
[15:41] <pradeep> rski: is it safe?
[15:42] <gus3> Thank you!
[15:42] <pradeep> rski: Wat problem's i might face
[15:42] <MasterofPuppets> pradeep: There are a *lot* of bugs
[15:42] <rski> pradeep: everything might break, :)
[15:42] <katycorp> hey guys, I'm trying to chroot into my ubuntu install from the livecd, but it keeps telling me there's no /bin/bash file or dir
[15:42] <rski> pradeep: it's not safe :p
[15:42] <katycorp> any ideas?
[15:42] <pradeep> MasterofPuppets: ok:-)
[15:42] <thiebaude> pradeep, mine broke last nite
[15:42] <MasterofPuppets> pradeep: semi-dependent on what you're running Ubuntu on
[15:43] <pradeep> MasterofPuppets: using jaunty fully updated
[15:43] <MasterofPuppets> pradeep: But if you do want to run karmic I'd suggest keeping everything safe on a partition/taking every necessary precaution :P
[15:43] <pradeep> thiebaude: wat happened
[15:43] <thiebaude> pradeep, it was something about partial upgrades
[15:43] <MasterofPuppets> pradeep: I mean machines, I've encountered different bugs on my PC than on my laptop :P It's very nitpicky
[15:43] <thiebaude> pradeep, and then you re-start and its messed up
[15:44] <thiebaude> pradeep, i went back to 9.04
[15:44] <MasterofPuppets> thiebaude: Yeah, I almost got effed by that lol
[15:44] <pradeep> thiebaude: you can go back like that?
[15:44] <thiebaude> pradeep, i have all my cd's
[15:44] <thiebaude> from 6.06
[15:44] <pradeep> thiebaude: ok like that. u installed all over again
[15:44] <MasterofPuppets> Clean installs are the best
[15:45] <MasterofPuppets> :P
[15:45] <thiebaude> pradeep, yea, i had too
[15:45] <MasterofPuppets> pradeep: Because it's very hard to downgrade
[15:45] <MasterofPuppets> You usually just end up breaking more things
[15:45] <pradeep> thiebaude: i better wait for the stable one then
[15:45] <thiebaude> MasterofPuppets, i do a upgrade, because with a clean install i got to install compiz and nvidia drivers again
[15:45] <Dudi_FC> im using the jaunty version 9.04, i like, but have somes bug
[15:46] <MasterofPuppets> That's a downside indeed
[15:46] <MasterofPuppets> Dudi_FC: Probably nothing compared to karmic ;P
[15:46] <thiebaude> MasterofPuppets, but i'll still order the 9.10 cd
[15:46] <Dudi_FC> karmic?
[15:46]  * thiebaude karmic is cool when its ready

[16:07] <iceroot> i am using grub. there is default 0. after a new kernel i want that the old kernel (now 1) is loaded automaticly. is there a way for this?
[16:08] <iceroot> so its always loading the kernel which was by default 0
[16:08] <Tead> hi all, i want the upload and download speed (just -- kb/s down / --kb/s up) in my panel, is there a tool for this?

[16:10] <_21h_> please say graphic editor like m$ paint
[16:10] <ikt> graphic editor like ms paint
[16:10] <dpac> guys! how do I check what drivers are installed for my graphic card
[16:10] <lukus> coffeej; maybe try google translate?
[16:10] <_21h_> ^)))
[16:10] <lukus> coffeej; I just did a google myself - seems that people have had mixed results
[16:10] <jrib> _21h_: xpaint, gpaint, tuxpaint, others...
[16:10] <coffeej> lukus: hence my confusion...
[16:11] <lukus> coffeej; could it be related to kernel support?
[16:11] <flamez_>  I can't go on map hybrit IRCD it say's don't have the primensions  Im ROOT
[16:11] <flamez_> why?
[16:12] <coffeej> lukus: don't know.  most of the posts seem to be fairly dated.  tried installing gspca to try, but get error
[16:12] <seyDoggy_> I am trying to install ubuntu server on an iMac G3 and it failed to detect the cd-rom. How can I get past this?
[16:12] <lukus> coffeej; in the past when my webcam hasn't worked - it's been due to lack of kernel support .. it might be worth exploring that
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> seyDoggy_:  thats a PPC imac? or Intel based?
[16:13] <seyDoggy_> Dr_Willis: ppc
[16:13] <lukus> coffeej; good luck, in anycase
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> seyDoggy_:  have you ever had it boot from cd befor?
[16:13] <coffeej> lukus: how would i explore?  thanks
[16:13] <lukus> does anyone know why keyserver.ubuntu.com is down? and what i can do about it?
[16:13] <seyDoggy_> Dr_Willis: yes
[16:14] <lukus> i need to add a key for a ppa
[16:14] <alex12> so question, my %util in iostat is 80%, but iowait in top is 4%?
[16:14] <seyDoggy_> Dr_Willis: n'md found answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964904
[16:15] <Pici> lukus: You can use pool.sks-keyservers.net in place of the keyserver if you are adding a ppa to your ubuntu install.  If you are creating a ppa on launchpad then you should ask in #launchpad
[16:15] <lukus> Pici; thanks

[16:21] <shoss> Hello, I'm using ubuntu 9.04 Gnome desktop on 2.6.28-15-generic amd64 and lately all the opengl programs running are causing the screen to flicker... can anyone help please?
[16:22] <rohdef> is there a way to make a dvd apt repository, so I can update a freshly installed jaunty, seems like it freezes when I try to connect to the wifi
[16:23] <bad_alloc> hello, i've just bought a lenovo enhanced performance usb keyboard for my ubuntu 8.10 system and some extra keys do not work. i've found the keycodes in theXorg.0.log and it says that X is unable to handle the codes (250-260) how do i bind them to something now?
[16:23] <bad_alloc> example: (WW) Lite-On Technology USB Productivity Option Keyboard( has the hub in # 1 ): unable to handle keycode 260
[16:24] <peterva> rohdef: sudo apt-cdrom add
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> bad_alloc:  ive seen some guides on that.  But ive lost my notes. I had to check dmesg, to see if the kernel was seeing the keycodes. and map them if it was not.
[16:24] <finley> when I do an "apt-cache depends php5-mysql" and I see "Depends: <phpapi-20060613>" in the output, what do the <> brackets indicate?
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> bad_alloc:  i recall i found some good info on it in the gentoo and arch linux wiki/docs :)
[16:25] <rohdef> peterva, is that how to make it or use it?
[16:25] <whileimhere> Hi. I was wondering if there is a more minimal version of ubuntu than the 600 mb server edition?
[16:25] <bad_alloc> Dr_Willis: well x is recieving them so the kernel must be doing so too. i just need to know how i can bind them now
[16:25] <bazhang> !minimal
[16:26] <peterva> rohdef: that's how you can use a cd/dvd for apt-get purposes
[16:26] <bazhang> whileimhere, around 9mb ^^
[16:26] <rohdef> peterva, and how to make the cd?
[16:26] <peterva> Oh, I assumed you already had the cd :)
[16:26] <bazhang> rohdef, aptoncd
[16:26] <bazhang> !aptoncd
[16:26] <whileimhere> bazhang: Where and what is it? I want to install it as the basis of a mame cab but I do not need all the Extra crap. In fact Flux box would be fine when I REALLY need a GUI
[16:27] <rohdef> bazhang, peterva  thanks
[16:27] <bazhang> whileimhere, scroll up a couple of lines
[16:27] <rohdef> !offline
[16:27] <alec868> please help! I somehow got stuck covering the IT guy at my work, and the network has crashed. what do I do? how do i restart the server. its windows and i know this the ubuntu forum, but i thought someone might be able to help
[16:27] <whileimhere> bazhang isnt that just to backup your packages? I have used it for that before.
[16:27] <bazhang> alec868, help with windows?
[16:27] <DigitalKiwi> alec868: ##windows
[16:28] <pozic> firefox-3.0 depends on libgtk2.0-0 (>=2.17.10, but this package is not available. Why not?
[16:28] <bazhang> whileimhere, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[16:28] <whileimhere> thanks
[16:28] <pozic> I am using 9.04, so I am not doing anything wild.
[16:28] <kyja> how would I get free ram from (bash) free command? I mean grep it or what ever it is to get one string return of the free bytes
[16:29] <jrib> kyja: either use awk or sed
[16:29] <kyja> ok
[16:29] <jrib> kyja: erm, awk or cut is what I meant
[16:29] <llutz> kyja: free |awk '/^-/ { print $3 }'
[16:30] <Newbee> hi all
[16:30] <kyja> sweet thanks llutz
[16:31] <irmandos> hi guys
[16:31] <irmandos> i have a problem trying to creat sarg reports
[16:31] <Newbee> I have a ubuntu server (on an old VIA based board) and I wanted to  upgrade it with a new 1TB sata II drive. But not even the BIOS is aware of the drive. I don't know what a can do about it.
[16:31] <peterva> Newbee: have you tried flashing the bios with a newer version?
[16:31] <Newbee> of course this is not ubuntu's fault. But I would need that drive for the server.
[16:32] <peterva> maybe it will support bigger disks
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> Newbee:   a PCI sata controller card perhaps would see it.
[16:32] <finley> answering my own question -- it looks like they indicate a virtual package.  but damned if i can find that documented anywhere...
[16:32] <Newbee> peterva: yes, I put the newest - from 2005 or so - on, but it did not help
[16:32] <peterva> hmmm, then I would have to say Dr_Willis suggestion is your only option
[16:32] <irmandos> sarg reports it detected a word search loop and the exsits what cn i do to fix the problem?
[16:33] <Newbee> Dr_Willis: yes, I also thought about it, but the main reason I use such old and cheap hardware for the server is price. and so I really would appreciate if I could use the drive without extra cost. I guess that such a card will cost at least 20€. Money a student would like so safe.
[16:35] <kyja> ok I will let in on the joke. I am trying to do free |awk '/^-/ { print $3 }'    and it works but I want to add right after than number "BASIC BYTES FREE."
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> Newbee:  ive picked up several for $14 usa. no idea what that is  in your $$ but its less then the cost of lunch for 3 at McDonolds. :)
[16:35] <kyja> free |awk '/^-/ { print $3 }' && echo BASIC BYTES FREE.    does not seem to work
[16:35] <Newbee> The thing is that I use a similar (also relativly new Samsung SATA II drive) with 250GB for quite a time. But I cannot use my new 1TB drive. This is why I thougt it should work. But maybe I am wrong
[16:35] <server_side> where can i find resources to understand linux properly
[16:35] <jrib> kyja: you need to go learn how to do this stuff, you can't just rely on being spoon fed how to do basic tasks
[16:35] <llutz> kyja: echo $(free |awk '/^-/ { print $3 }') BYtes free
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> Newbee:  theres always external USB enclosures. :( ick.
[16:36] <peterva> kyja: you're missing the "" around the stuff you want to echo
[16:36] <jrib> kyja: tldp.org has two good bash tutorials
[16:36] <llutz> peterva: no need to quote
[16:37] <kyja> thank you llutz and peterva , sorry jrib
[16:37] <peterva> llutz: not in your way :)
[16:37] <rek> hi
[16:37] <Newbee> Dr_Willis: USB enclosures? what do you mean? I am not a native speaker and a cannot get the message, sry
[16:37] <llutz> peterva: even in his "echo bla foo bar"
[16:37] <rek> how can i create a ntfs artition with gparted.... the ntfs button is grey
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> Newbee:  a case you put the HD in that plugs into a usb port.
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> rek:  install the extra ntfs programs/tools
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> 'ntfsprogs' or somthing like that is the package name
[16:39] <Newbee> Dr_Willis: so you use the internal drive as external?
[16:39] <rek> 3g-dev
[16:39] <rek> maybe
[16:40] <bazhang> !info ntfsprogs | rek
[16:40] <lemmingfoo> Hi, I'm trying out awesome and gnome-settings-daemon won't load the theme or wallpaper
[16:41] <mkulke> hello, is there a way to run a program which requires X unattended, like as a cronjob?
[16:41] <mkulke> with no user being logged in
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> Newbee:  i have several such enclosures that let me use normal drives as externals
[16:41] <rek> which pacage??
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> ntfsprogs :)
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> mkulke:  give more details to the channel as to what you are doing.
[16:42] <jrib> mkulke: like what?
[16:42] <lemmingfoo> actually it will load the theme, but break my direction keys and mod key
[16:42] <lemmingfoo> and not the wallpaper
[16:42] <jrib> lemmingfoo: nautilus draws the wallpaper
[16:43] <mkulke> Dr_Willis/jrib: i have a graphical program, which requires no input, etc but sadly needs an X-server. is there any way to run it as a cronjob and point it to a dummy X-server or something?
[16:43] <jrib> mkulke: what program?
[16:43] <mkulke> firefox specifically
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> mkulke:  you could set up Vncserver to run in the background and launch the app from rc.local easially enough.
[16:44] <aksci> the fullscreen mode on any of the flashplayers on firefox just opens and closes in a flick! why is it so!
[16:44] <lemmingfoo> you sure? because after it's killed there's still a wallpaper, jrib
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> mkulke:  no need for a cronjob for that.
[16:44] <rek> ok
[16:44] <oobe> whats an easy way to change my nvidia drivers from 173 to vdpau 180
[16:44] <jrib> mkulke: why do you need to run firefox unattended?  What is it doing?
[16:44] <hanshenrik> while trying to run the latest Onlink-build, i get error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - any1 know what that means?
[16:44] <mkulke> jrib: automatic tests
[16:44] <rek> is an extendex partition good for data storage?
[16:44] <rek> extended
[16:44] <jrib> mkulke: automatic tests of what?  This is like being a dentist I guess...
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> rek:  i tend to use all primaries if i can. but extended holds Logicals.. that work just fine
[16:45] <mkulke> jrib: automatic tests of a web-based application
[16:45] <rek> what?
[16:45] <rek> can i do that?
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> mkulke:  you can set up vncserver, to launch a minimal window manager, and run whatevers apps you want.
[16:45] <rek> i don't want a new os there.... so...
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> rek:  do what?
[16:45] <rek> what can i do?
[16:45] <rek> logical for data is ok
[16:45] <lemmingfoo> jrib: Actually, running gnome-settings-daemon on my laptop after starting awesome sets back my wallpaper, just doesn't work on my regular workstation
[16:45] <jrib> mkulke: is firefox actually doing something or is just visiting the web page what triggers the "tests"?
[16:45] <mkulke> Dr_Willis: lemme try that
[16:46] <jrib> lemmingfoo: nautilus is drawing the wallpaper
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> rek:  yes.. thats what 90% of the pcs out there are using for extra partitions
[16:46] <jrib> lemmingfoo: start nautilus
[16:46] <pozic> Primary vs logical is just that logical is one extra step of indirection and thus slower, no?
[16:46] <rek> my pc is really happier in these day like me...i have more energy
[16:46] <rek> pcs ?
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  i ve never heard of them being any slower.
[16:46] <mkulke> jrib: i guess it uses a plugin or something, i really don't know
[16:46] <rek> ah ok
[16:46] <jrib> mkulke: I see
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  i doubt if they would be slower.
[16:46] <llutz> pozic: i doubt you'll feel it, even if you might measure it
[16:46] <pozic> Dr_Willis: maybe it is implemented in hardware, but more computation has to be done.
[16:46] <dsdeiz> !apparmor
[16:47] <pozic> llutz: indeed.
[16:47] <dsdeiz> hello, can i remove that ^^
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  its just a standard/metod that has grown over theyears to make up for/catch up with hardware changes
[16:47] <pozic> Conclusion: it probably doesn't matter.
[16:47] <lemmingfoo> jrib: After starting "gnome-settings-manager" on my laptop the wallpaper returns, and ps aux
[16:47] <Aalinux> tail -n 50 /var/log/message , Why is -n ?
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> pozic:  its reading the same sectors off the same disk.. its just  for book keeping. I doubt if it is any slower at all.
[16:47] <lemmingfoo> ps aux *pipe* grep nautilus gives nothing
[16:47] <rek> dr_willis i created it in less than 1 second is this normal?
[16:47] <tonii> Aalinux: man tail
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> rek:  making a partition is trivial in time.. Formating it is the longer task
[16:47] <jrib> lemmingfoo: do you want the desktop icons for some reason?
[16:47] <lemmingfoo> <- keyboard prob
[16:48] <lemmingfoo> jrib: nope, just the wallpaper
[16:48] <jetienne> !info python-django
[16:48] <jrib> lemmingfoo: then just use something else to set it like feh for example (there are dozens)
[16:48] <rek> ah ok Dr_Willis so i must format it
[16:48] <rek> from win maybe
[16:48] <rek> Dr_Willis: i tell u a secret.. my pc is really faster now....
[16:48] <Dr_Willis> rek:  if you have the ntfsprogs installed.. gparted can format it.
[16:48] <rek> i dunno why
[16:48] <n8tuser> !info shc
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> rek:  elven magic. :)
[16:49] <alex12> Pupuuuuu, please dont randomly private message people, its not nicew
[16:49] <jrib> lemmingfoo: http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/manpages/awsetbg.1.html another one
[16:49] <rek> Dr_Willis: i think it's due to my keyboard!!!
[16:49] <rek> it' like overclocked lol.....
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> rek:  i got a 'programable keyboard' :)
[16:49] <lemmingfoo> jrib: I still want to use it to set my gtk theme, but when I start it it still messes up my keyboard layout
[16:50] <lemmingfoo> "and it's working on my laptop", which makes me really confused
[16:50] <rek> Dr_Willis: what's that? i have a normal keyboard i tried to repair... it's doing the job imo....
[16:50] <Aalinux> tonii: To specify line numbers.Right?
[16:50] <rek> it*
[16:50] <mkulke> Dr_Willis: thanks vncserver worked :)
[16:50] <Aalinux> tonii: If i omit -n it prints 10 lines by default.
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> rek:  this one i have special keys that i can program via the hardware of the keyboard. it has a 16k buffer i can use for neat tricks. :)
[16:50] <rek> lol x-xhat not free for win
[16:50] <Quiliro> hello people
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> mkulke:  vnc is a handy tool.
[16:50] <jrib> lemmingfoo: remove the gconf entries that deal with the keyboard layout I guess?
[16:51] <tonii> Aalinux: "output the last N lines, instead of the last 10; or use +N to output lines starting with the Nth"
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> rek:  there are free versions of xchat for windows.  just not the official one.
[16:51] <rek> lol Dr_Willis which tricks? however my pc...i dunno what's happening
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> rek:  i think theres a 'silverx' version and some others.
[16:51] <Quiliro> looked all over for syncmaster 632nw configuration and nothing works
[16:51] <jrib> lemmingfoo: or set the correct values
[16:51] <rek> i reboot thx
[16:52] <rek> i'll tell you
[16:52] <Quiliro> get snow on widescreen resolutions
[16:52] <zebastian> i want to back up to my external drive will this do it rsync -avh --delete --stats /home/$USERNAME/ /media/mybackup/ ?
[16:53] <younder> I accidentally right clicked the application menu and said remove. How can I get it back?
[16:53] <pozic> Is anyone running Firefox-3.5 from Jaunty?
[16:53] <jrib> younder: right click -> add to panel
[16:53] <jrib> !anyone | pozic
[16:53] <pozic> It crashes here with various random bugs.
[16:54] <Aalinux> tonii: sudo tail +1 messages , outputs default last 10 lines?How to use +N or +1 ?
[16:54] <pozic> jrib: I just want to establish existence.
[16:54] <tonii> Aalinux: +n 1, it's right there in the man page?
[16:54] <younder> jrib: thanks
[16:54] <pozic> jrib: so, 5 people saying yes, and 5 people saying, no it crashed for me too, would give information, unlike your response.
[16:54] <jrib> pozic: don't, it's pointless.  That's not really what you want.  Because waste my time answering "yes", you will ask your real question
[16:55] <jrib> pozic: your question was if anyone used ff3.5
[16:55] <pozic> jrib: no, anyone using Jaunty.
[16:55] <pozic> jrib: so, the Ubuntu version of Firefox.
[16:55] <thedancingdeer> fullscreen on any flash video just opens and gets back to normal! how do i get over this?
[16:55] <jrib> pozic: Is anyone running Firefox-3.5 from Jaunty?   YES.  So now you are satisfied right?
[16:55] <pozic> jrib: yes.
[16:55] <jrib> pozic: great.
[16:56] <Aalinux> tonii: Can you post the complete command please? man tail says +N not +n
[16:56] <RomD> how can I turn the automatic xmodmap loading back on on hardy?
[16:56] <zebastian> I've just rsync -avh --delete --stats /home/sebastian/ /media/SAMSUNG/mybackup  i hope this will work to backup my files onto my external hard drive
[16:56] <bigsexy> Does anyone know Samba very well
[16:56] <n8tuser> pozic  try to launch it like to see if it makes diff,  firefox --no-xshm
[16:56] <dsdeiz>  hi, anyone here using swiftweasel? audio of flashplayer works fine on firefox but not on swiftweasel :(
[16:56]  * jrib thinks it's time for a break.  Sorry if I was harsh pozic but those type of questions just waste people's time.  Good luck with your issue though
[16:56] <RomD> I think I once clicked "never load and never ask"
[16:57] <bigsexy> Im having problems trying to play music and videos on a network drive
[16:58] <n8tuser> RomD -> are you doing keymapping? can you share your knowhow with me?
[16:58] <RomD> n8tuser: sure, what do you need to know?
[16:58] <pozic> The real problem is that Ubuntu does no QA. It should simply automate browsing some pages and check that the released browser works.
[16:58] <tonii> Aalinux: ah, sorry. I got it wrong. tail -n +4, was the command
[16:59] <lemmingfoo> jrib: sorry for being pissy, it's just that it started fine on my laptop, and now it's just breaking, I'll look more into it
[16:59] <n8tuser> RomD -> i have a very simple request,  I wanted to let say map  alt_r + y   to echo "hello world"  in any of my console or here in xchat
[16:59] <Mdyter> how to make ubuntu to detect adsl usb modem ? 'lsusb
[16:59] <n8tuser> Mdyter -> yes, lsusb
[17:00] <dsdeiz> another thing that's weird is that it was working perfectly earlier this morning
[17:00] <pozic> n8tuser: that seems to work.
[17:00] <pozic> n8tuser: oh, wait, it doesn't.
[17:00] <pozic> n8tuser: it crashed again.
[17:00] <RomD> n8tuser: I'm not sure if the xmodmap mapping is capable of doing that. afaik you can only map one character per key (plus modifiers). you probably need a third-party application for that
[17:01] <n8tuser> pozic i dont know, i just want you to try it to launch another to see if it makes a diff
[17:01] <mateusz_> hi guys
[17:01] <Xano_> I want PHP to be able to send mail with mail(). It seems like there is no mail server by default. What packages do I need? Google tells me a lot of things but most articles don't mention PHP.
[17:01] <mateusz_> I have a little problem
[17:01] <n8tuser> RomD -> no other way?
[17:01] <trijntje> !ask | mateusz_
[17:02] <genii> Xano_: If you install package mailutils       it will auto install a default mta
[17:02] <RomD> n8tuser: I'm no linux expert, but I can't think of any
[17:02] <llutz> Xano_: postfix is well documented
[17:02] <mateusz_> i have just installed Ubuntu 9.04 and i have a vista, but ubuntu GRUB ca't see it so i can't choose vista... What should I do?
[17:02] <RomD> n8tuser: maybe there's a native way to do it I'm not aware of
[17:02] <pozic> n8tuser: maybe it was some addon that was the problem.
[17:02] <Unicode> mateusz_: use vista loader to load grub
[17:03] <Mdyter> how to make ubuntu to detect adsl usb modem ? 'lsusb' comand indentifies 'ID 0915:8104 GlobeSpan, Inc. DSL-200 Modem'. adsl led is off . here is my post on forum : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1274588    untill now i not resolved the problem
[17:03] <mateusz_> how to do this? Ubuntu installed grub cant do anything
[17:03] <n8tuser> RomD okay, ill keep looking around
[17:04] <Unicode> mateusz_: install grub in root partition, then use dd to cut grub and write it in vista loader
[17:04] <pozic> How do I add Google to the search bar in the top right corner?
[17:05] <trijntje> Unicode, isnt that kind of the hard way? why can't mateusz_  just add vista to grub with chainloader?
[17:05] <Aalinux> I want to print 20 lines from the 5th line of a file using tail command ? What will be the command ? tail -n +5 starts from the 5th line but it prints all from the 5th line.
[17:05] <bigsexy> Anyone have any ideas as to why movies and music in a shared network folder would freeze up every few mins while playing?
[17:06] <kekko> bigsexy: cause your network is saturated
[17:06] <Unicode> trijntje: ye, but if he reinstall windows, grub will rewrite grub
[17:06] <bigsexy> but they stream to my PS3 via fuppes with no problems
[17:06] <jrib> Aalinux: use head afterwards
[17:06] <trijntje> Unicode, why would he reinstall windows?
[17:07] <bigsexy> both the server and my computer are on a GB network along with the PS3
[17:07] <Unicode> trijntje: why not?:)
[17:07] <bigsexy> all of the computers freeze up when playing any of the movies or music but the PS3 works perfectly fine
[17:07] <Casper1> can some1 help me to add programs in the wine menu
[17:08] <IdleOne> Casper1: #winehq
[17:08] <trijntje> Unicode, hmm well, you can explain how to do that than ;)

[17:14] <Aalinux> Is there any difference between exit 1 and exit 86 and exit87 , Are all same?
[17:14] <Lichi> thanks
[17:14] <Unicode> trijntje: :)
[17:14] <rek> how can i format to ntfs in gparted?

[17:16] <pozic> How can I just get the 3.0 behaviour? And, side-note, did the Firefox developers lose their mind?

[17:19] <Lichi> thanks
[17:19] <erUSUL> Aalinux: as you ca see anyone can rad from /dev/null so i do not see why it fails in your case
[17:21] <llutz> Aalinux: erUSUL: what do you expect to read from /dev/null? don't you mean /dev/zero?

[17:22] <rabby> hi
[17:23] <llutz> erUSUL: oh, sry
[17:23] <erUSUL> llutz: and as expected by catting /dev/null to a file you make it an empty file
[17:23] <rabby> few weeks ago i tried to get my firefox run with ubuntu. but it still sucks and hogs the memory :-(
[17:23] <erUSUL> llutz: the same kind of file created by touch
[17:23] <llutz> erUSUL: sure, as expected
[17:24] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: that doesn't seem to enable it either. I also get this in dmesg, if it helps:

[17:24] <rabby> after upgrading to firefox 3.5 it seemed to be better. but now it lames again for 3 days already :-(
[17:24] <erUSUL> llutz: well i did not expect it  (i do « cat '' > file » ) but it works that way ;)
[17:24] <tstebut> can somebody explain me why I got this message :

[17:25] <rabby> any ideas how to speed it up again. it is really slow motion, even after restarting the browser.

[17:26] <Aalinux> Is there any special meaning of exit 86, is it fixed for a special type of error?
[17:26] <erUSUL> Aalinux: to writte to var log you need sudo so ... do « cat /dev/null | sudo tee /var/log/wtmp »
[17:26] <tstebut> Ok, I'd like to flash splashscreen2 on my rooted cupcake
[17:27] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: any other ideas please?
[17:27] <tstebut> Oh sorry, I guess I should go to another channel
[17:27] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, for some reason a GTK theme I'm using is making the menus in some Java apps unreadable. How can I fix this?
[17:27] <n8tuser> EvaLuaTe -> what is the situation again? where is the problem?
[17:28] <augusto> Hello guys..
[17:28] <Halitech> Aalinux, not much info online but it seems like it might be a generic one to help the dev http://archives.devshed.com/forums/unix-linux-135/exit-86-status-code-1713354.html
[17:28] <bad_alloc> hi, is it possible to assign keycodes greater than 255 via xmodmap?
[17:28] <augusto> I am using/testing karmic...
[17:28] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: as far as i can remember, my wireless card was listed under infconfig as ath0, now it doesn't get listed anymore and i guess i accidentally pressed the wlan switch on my laptop
[17:29] <augusto> As time goes by, my wireless network becomes unresponsive... is it happening with any of you?
[17:29] <churl> Is it possible to start totem with the controls hidden automatically?  (without crtl + h)

[17:29] <Aalinux> erUSUL: It work if if do su >password, probably the authority of root/sudo is gone after cat /dev/null
[17:29] <Halitech> EvaLuaTe, did you turn it back? (sorry for the obvious answer if you did)
[17:30] <Halitech> EvaLuaTe, *back on
[17:30] <n8tuser> augusto -> make sure you wifi is up?
[17:30] <augusto> It is
[17:30] <EvaLuaTe> Halitech: yeah, i tried pushing the button again, but it doesn't seem to do anything
[17:30] <bad_alloc> sorry for repeating it, but is it possible to assign keycodes greater than 255 via xmodmap?
[17:30] <augusto> It works for a moment... then stops working
[17:30] <n8tuser> augusto -> do you know if the far end is up? the ISP connectivity is okay?
[17:30] <Halitech> EvaLuaTe, reboot? does the machine have windows on it?
[17:30] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/d48a36ca0
[17:31] <Aalinux> erUSUL: If both files need root previlidge then after piping sudo may not serve it.
[17:31] <EvaLuaTe> Halitech: no, ubuntu is the only OS i have, and yes, i also tried restarting the machine
[17:31] <Halitech> EvaLuaTe, looks like it is now wlan0
[17:31] <mgv1> does the instructios of how to restore grub after windows installation are easy?

[17:32] <EvaLuaTe> Halitech: but still no wireless networks get listed in wicd...
[17:32] <augusto> ISP is okay
[17:32] <n8tuser> !who | augusto
[17:32] <purpzey> How do I setup my location for the weather app that appears in the panel?
[17:32] <Wallar> how can i fix it?
[17:32] <augusto> woks okay on windows and ubuntu jaunty
[17:33] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m2a413fcb
[17:33] <Aalinux> Halitech: Thank you.
[17:33] <Halitech> Wallar, the purpose of speed step is to run slower when the machine doesn't need the power so it "steps" it down, nothing wrong with the reading
[17:33] <augusto> n8tuser: it works perfectly on jaunty and windows
[17:33] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: it says 'DISABLED' next to the wireless interface, so I guess there's still something wrong...
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> http://www.golive2.com/stix/welcome.php
[17:34] <n8tuser> EvaLuaTe -> correct, try  sudo ifdown wlan0; sudo ifup wlan0
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Hmm...
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> I plugged in this Gamepad.. and it printed that msg to my IRC client?
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> weird...
[17:34] <n8tuser> augusto -> if you think its perfect there, want to stay on those other ones?
[17:34] <Wallar> Halitech, yea. But when SpeedStep is able max. freq i have is only 1,33Ghz. (600,800 and 1333Mhz )
[17:34] <rabby> no hints for firefox?
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> How in the world did it do that. heh
[17:34] <Wallar> no magic 1666,7Mhz
[17:35] <Halitech> Wallar, have you tried working the machine to the max to get it to go to the full amount?
[17:35] <augusto> n8tuser: Just asking to see if it is a bug... so I could submit or something
[17:35] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m3a5507b0
[17:35] <n8tuser> EvaLuaTe -> also do not try to have both nic on same subnet unless you know how to manipulate your route tables
[17:35] <Wallar> Halitech, in Gnome you have freq. manager. It shows a speed of cpu and a polotic (powersafe,performacne,conservatice etc)
[17:36] <Wallar> in gnome panel
[17:36] <vraa> howdy all, is it possible for ubuntu to be used as a replacement for a dsl modem and router? i know it can do router, but not sure if it can modem, it has a 56k modem built in
[17:36] <Wallar> even i console
[17:36] <n8tuser> augusto -> there were never been a guaranted 100% uptime on wifi
[17:36] <Wallar> in*
[17:36] <Halitech> Wallar, never used it but thats my understanding of speed step
[17:36] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: i remember having this problem once before and as far as i can remember i had to do some commands and the restart, i just can't remember what i exactly i have to do. also, i have no clue what you mean with 'both nic on same subnet' :P
[17:36] <llutz> vraa: it cannot, hardware-issue
[17:36] <Cpudan80> vraa: it cant replace the modem, it can be a router
[17:36] <vraa> i see, that's what i figured llutz , just wanted to confirm
[17:36] <Wallar> Halitech, nvm i found a launchpad bug ... there's no solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cpufreqd/+bug/422858/
[17:37] <vraa> well i have a wrt54gl running tomato, and my internet connectivity is having issues
[17:37] <n8tuser> EvaLuaTe -> i dont use nm or wicd, i prefer to configure /etc/network/interfaces   man interfaces for details
[17:37] <Halitech> Wallar, okay
[17:37] <Xano_> Postfix/sendmail says "sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory" when executing the apps, right after a fresh "apt-get install postfix"
[17:37] <vraa> i have a space laptop with ethernet + wifi + modem inside it, what would you guys suggets to do to start diagnosing the problem, i already replaced the dsl modem once
[17:37] <n8tuser> EvaLuaTe -> pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file
[17:38] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: yeah, i know how to configure network/interfaces, but it worked until now without me having to do that. one second, i'll paste it
[17:38] <n8tuser> Xano_ -> seems clear error message isnt ? so you may have to create that config file?
[17:38] <llutz> Xano_: postfix is well documented, use duco
[17:38] <llutz> docu
[17:38] <skybinder> hi everyone, can you suggest me how to get a major of codecs to play online tv?
[17:39] <oorah> will someone help me see if my webcam and voice mic work in empathy please? yahoo i.d. is hardcore_zaccour
[17:39] <n8tuser> EvaLuaTe -> i dislike using nm or wicd as you see it sometimes gives you wrong info.. i prefer to control manually via interfaces file
[17:39] <Xano_> llutz: It doesn't really make sense that an app comes without a default config file, hence the question.
[17:39] <Halitech> skybinder, w32codecs (or w64codecs if using 64bit) and probably flash
[17:39] <EvaLuaTe> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m2405b1ac
[17:39] <llutz> Xano_: in case of a mta it makes sense
[17:39] <n8tuser> skybinder -> i use vlc  and i believe if you install that it installs the necessary codecs
[17:40] <n8tuser> EvaLuaTe -> try to add the entry for you wifi,  use udvevinfo -e  to see which it is ath0 or wlan0

[17:50] <llutz> zer0byte: smartcam it is, smartcam.sf.net
[17:50] <iceroot> whileimhere: then install fluxbox and remove (x)ubuntu-desktop

[17:50] <shivek> LjL >>> I know its ubuntu 9.10. Isn't there any official website for it ??
[17:50] <whileimhere> iceroot: That sounds like a good idea.
[17:51] <LjL> shivek: #ubuntu+1 should know
[17:51] <Halitech> whileimhere, instead of installing everything and then removing what you don't want why not just do a minimal install and add what you want?

[17:52] <whileimhere> I have  USB thumbdrive for installation.
[17:52] <LjL> shivek: then why ar you asking *here*?
[17:52] <Halitech> whileimhere, you could still set it up to boot the minimal install and go from there
[17:52] <shivek> LjL >>>OOpps! sorry
[17:53] <whileimhere> halitech how?
[17:53] <bobo> before i format my computer, i copied the whole mail directory from .evolution, after the installation i copied back and i got all my messages back, but now when i do send/receive i don't see my new messages, what do i do?
[17:53] <Halitech> whileimhere, same way you would set it up with the full install but use the iso for the minimal install
[17:54] <whileimhere> halitech: I do not have a CD burner and it seems that I cannot use the imagewriter to write it to my thumbdrive.
[17:54] <Halitech> bobo, did you reconfigure a mail account?
[17:54] <luis_> hello, does anyones knows how to check ur email account in by the terminal
[17:54] <Halitech> whileimhere, how are you going to install (x)ubuntu then?
[17:54] <MK13> is there any thing like http://www.autohotkey.com/ for ubuntu?
[17:54] <whileimhere> someone gave me a burned copy of Xubuntu
[17:54] <bobo> Halitech, how do you mean?, after the format i created the same account again, and after that i copied the folder back
[17:54] <whileimhere> So I have a regular non-burner to install with
[17:55] <Halitech> bobo, did it create a new folder for evolution and did you copy the old files into that folder?
[17:55] <mgv1> i hate i cant figiured out how to use airocrack
[17:56] <Eevee> MK13: you can bind keys in Compiz to run whatever you want, and you can generally write shell scripts to automate whatever you want
[17:56] <mgv1> now im not on the computer anyway
[17:56] <bobo> Halitech, i think it created new folder, and after that i merged the folder
[17:56] <Halitech> whileimhere, ok, you didn't mention that, you just said you were trying it with a thumbdrive .... there might be an option on the xubuntu cd to do a minimal install
[17:56] <whileimhere> halitech never thought of that!
[17:56] <MK13> eevee, k thought so
[17:56] <Halitech> bobo, so you see the old emails but not the new ones?
[17:56] <MK13> Eevee, thnx
[17:57] <MarderIII> luis_: telnet <host> 110 <return> USER <password><return> PASS <password> <return> <LIST> ... or something :-)
[17:57] <bobo> Halitech, just like that
[17:57] <Halitech> whileimhere, been awhile since I've used the xubuntu cd so might have to look around for that option, might also depend if its the alt cd or the live cd
[17:58] <Halitech> bobo, permissions issue with the old files maybe?

[17:58] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, a GTK+ theme I'm using (Elegant Brit) is making the menus in some Java apps unreadable. Is there any way I can fix this?
[17:58] <bobo> Halitech, so what kind of permissions should i put 666?
[17:58] <Halitech> whileimhere, ok, check the boot options when the initial screen comes up
[17:59] <Halitech> bobo, they need to have the same ownership as the new user has
[17:59] <Mr_Giraffe> barring, of course, changing the theme
[17:59] <whileimhere> halitech I will thanks for the idea!
[17:59] <Halitech> whileimhere, np, hope it works
[17:59] <bobo> Halitech, so what should i do?
[17:59] <MarderIII> luis_: but i think you want a program like mutt or pine
[18:00] <Halitech> bobo, try creating a new file, check the ownership info and compare that to your old mail files
[18:00] <Halitech> MarderIII, nothing like going old school to check your mail ;)
[18:00] <MarderIII> Malitech: :-D
[18:01] <megabraker> bye evry one
[18:03] <skybinder> help plz to make firefox play online tv i have vlc and flash player installed but it plays just a little
[18:05] <Neremor> hello!
[18:05] <MarderIII> Malitech: I'm suprised I even remembered those POP3 commands..
[18:06] <sweetleaf> æ
[18:06] <Neremor> I found this list of dvd-rippers http://bit.ly/1847lY, but which ripper would you suggest me to use? which do you think is the best one?
[18:07] <graingert> ps
[18:07] <Halitech> MarderIII, I had to use them just last week, used to use them daily when I did tech support, surprising what comes back when you need it
[18:09] <dev_n00b> Why am I at the PC running windows, and naked?
[18:09] <MarderIII> Malitech: tech support... yechh! glad to have left that behind :-X
[18:09] <MarderIII> Malitech: altough... what am i doing here? :-)
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> dev_n00b:  those pesky EULA's get you every time!
[18:11] <Halitech> MarderIII, so am I, did it for almost 10 years ... because you want to give back to the community :)
[18:12] <MarderIII> Halitech: ...should fix my fonts... read H as M?... not good...  Something like that :)
[18:12] <Halitech> MarderIII, maybe you just need to get your eyes checked ;)
[18:13] <MarderIII> Halitech: Maybe.. %-)
[18:13] <quentusrex> How do I find out which release a box has installed?
[18:13] <quentusrex> from the command line
[18:14] <quentusrex> lsb_release says there are no lsb modules installed
[18:15] <LjL> quentusrex: lsb_release -a
[18:15] <MindVirus> Does APT depend on dialog?
[18:15] <LjL> MindVirus: well, you could check that with "apt-cache depends apt", but i think so
[18:15] <MindVirus> LjL: it doesn't, which is the scary part.
[18:15] <MindVirus> I don't want to believe it.
[18:16] <LjL> MindVirus: it does
[18:16] <MindVirus> That's why I asked here.
[18:16] <LjL> MindVirus: apt-cache --recurse depends apt | grep dialog
[18:16] <apps> 8-)
[18:16] <MindVirus> LjL: oh goodness.
[18:17] <MindVirus> LjL: how is it that I can remove dialog without removing any other packages?
[18:18] <MindVirus> LjL: http://pastebin.com/d4d0949ec
[18:18] <LjL> MindVirus: alright i need to research this a bit better
[18:19] <MindVirus> Furthermore, how is it that one of the packages I have installed conflicts with dialog?
[18:19] <MindVirus> Hmm...
[18:19] <LjL> MindVirus: i think the thing is that you can use other alternatives to dialog. but there should be a multiple depends *somewhere*
[18:20] <MindVirus> I'm not using any alternatives to dialog AFAIK (but then again I don't know any).
[18:20] <MindVirus> Anything I should check?
[18:20] <LjL> MindVirus: ah, there is
[18:20] <LjL> MindVirus: apt-cache depends debconf
[18:21] <LjL> whiptail | dialog | gnome-utils  all provide dialog-like things
[18:21] <MindVirus> It conflicts with dialog.
[18:21] <LjL> what does?
[18:21] <MindVirus> And with apt.
[18:21] <MindVirus> debconf.
[18:21] <MindVirus> WTF?!
[18:21] <LjL> ?
[18:21] <LjL> debconf can't conflict with apt
[18:21] <MindVirus> I know!
[18:22] <LjL> do you have mixed versions of stuff by any chance?
[18:22] <MindVirus> I should not at all.
[18:22] <MindVirus> http://pastebin.com/d7e3f51b0
[18:22] <MindVirus> How can it suggest and conflict with dialog at the same time?
[18:22] <LjL> MindVirus: ah no sorry
[18:23] <LjL> MindVirus: my bad idea to use the "depends" command. use apt-cache show debconf
[18:23] <LjL> it's just specifying a versionnumber
[18:23] <serban> hello
[18:23] <MindVirus> LjL: ahh.
[18:23] <serban> is there any way to customize the notifications in ubuntu 9.04 ?
[18:23] <MindVirus> LjL: So I don't need debconf?
[18:23] <MindVirus> I mean.
[18:23] <LjL> MindVirus: still the slightly worrying thng is that dialog and its friends are just a Suggests
[18:23] <MindVirus> Dialog?
[18:23] <MindVirus> Yes.
[18:24] <MindVirus> Should I file a bug?
[18:24] <FloodBot2> MindVirus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:24] <LjL> MindVirus: well, i'd think you need *either* dialog or whiptail or gnome-utils...
[18:24] <LjL> MindVirus: i don't know. maybe it'll just fall back to Y/N questions at the console with printf
[18:24] <MindVirus> LjL: then it should be Depends: dialog || whiptail || gnome-utils.
[18:24] <LjL> MindVirus: but i'm not going to try (removing dialog, that is)
[18:25] <MindVirus> LjL: sometimes you need a choice of things which that can't handle.
[18:26] <LjL> MindVirus: well, but it *is* somewhere. i don't know where, but somewhere
[18:26] <LjL> MindVirus: because if i remove dialog, it doesn't bring anything with it; if i remove whiptail, neither; but if i attempt to remove both, all hell breaks loose
[18:26] <LjL> (i don't have gnome-utils)
[18:27] <makmum> help me pleease
[18:27] <MindVirus> LjL: good observation.
[18:27] <Halitech> !help | makmum
[18:28] <LjL> MindVirus: admittedly, though, neither "apt" nor "debconf" appear to be part of said hell.
[18:28] <void_pointer> !id | makmum
[18:28] <MindVirus> LjL: there is where we differ!
[18:29] <makmum> okey brother Halitech n Ubottu, how to activate 3d on via chrome9 hc igp?
[18:29] <MindVirus> LjL: removing whiptail destroys ubuntu-minimal.
[18:29] <xddw> can someone help me install ices0
[18:29] <LjL> MindVirus: yes, it does that for me too
[18:29] <izzaboo> I'm sure my problem's been encountered b4.  but I've not found a *solution*.  new install, dual boot w/XP on Acer Aspire One D250.  I am only prompted with two options, the install side-by-side option is not present.
[18:29] <MindVirus> LjL: so whiptail is preferred apparently.
[18:29] <LjL> MindVirus: still, that's a rather weak dependency
[18:29] <MindVirus> LjL: what?
[18:29] <MindVirus> ubuntu-minimal?
[18:29] <izzaboo> it was there when I was demo-ing the LiveUSB stick to my dad on his 8.9" AAO.
[18:29] <LjL> MindVirus: yeah. i wouldn't leave it up to a metapackage
[18:30] <LjL> MindVirus: i'd still be of the opinion that debconf itself should depend on it (unless there's something else we're missng)
[18:30] <izzaboo> anyone here run into this and/or seen a solution online anywhere?
[18:30] <MindVirus> LjL: I'm thinking about removing dialog now.
[18:30] <Halitech> makmum, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967198&highlight=Chrome9
[18:30] <LjL> MindVirus: i'm not. maybe if i had a virtual machine on my hands...
[18:30] <izzaboo> using 9.04 install
[18:31] <xddw> hallo, someone has to have ices0 :)
[18:32] <makmum> okey Halitech
[18:32] <nicklas_> huj
[18:32] <Halitech> makmum, hope you aren't setting your hopes on doing it though, chrome9 cards suck in regards to 3d, lucky to have 2d
[18:33] <MindVirus> LjL: dialog is ugly and it doesn't seem like I've ever seen it.
[18:33] <MindVirus> I think debconf defaults to whiplash.
[18:33] <MindVirus> I mean.
[18:33] <MindVirus> whiptail.
[18:33] <LjL> MindVirus: wut? it's not dialog?
[18:34] <MindVirus> I guess not.
[18:34] <LjL> MindVirus: ah, uh yes
[18:34] <LjL> MindVirus: well remove whiptail then!
[18:34] <LjL> if you're brave
[18:34] <MindVirus> No!
[18:34] <MindVirus> I like whiptail.
[18:34] <MindVirus> I'm just pruning orphans.
[18:34] <LjL> by hand?
[18:34] <MindVirus> Negatory.
[18:35] <MindVirus> As dialog is an orphan that seems important, I stopped in here.
[18:35] <LjL> i see
[18:35] <MindVirus> But I guess it's not.
[18:35] <izzaboo> okay.  y'all are too busy?
[18:35] <makmum> Halitech : owh
[18:35] <MindVirus> !question
[18:35] <Halitech> makmum, is it a desktop or a laptop?
[18:36] <makmum> laptop. with sabily linux
[18:36] <void_pointer> izzaboo, ask again
[18:36] <pbn> Hi, I'm trying to (re)configure the locales on some Ubuntu machine. On Debian GNU/Linux "dpkg-reconfigure locales" brings me a dialog that allows me to choose which locales are generated, but on Ubuntu "dpkg-reconfigure locales" doesn't bring me that dialog. How can I (re)configure the locales ?
[18:36] <MindVirus> LjL: thanks for your help.
[18:36] <Halitech> makmum, ok, no way to change the graphics card then
[18:37] <MindVirus> I'll stop back in here if my computer explodes.
[18:37] <Guest16518> Anyone can direct me to a channel for real real real 'noobs in ubuntu from windows'?
[18:37] <void_pointer> ZooK, you have the right place
[18:37] <macdonalder> quick question... I've got netboot set up and I'm preseeding new installs of ubuntu. We just got new ASUS boards that have an attansic gigabit ethernet controller but it's not recognized by the kernel. When I throw in another card I and install it's fine and when the OS finally boots on its own the newer kernel it installs picks up the onboard attansic device just fine. Presumably the netboot kernel is out of date, but I think
[18:37] <macdonalder> I'm using the latest one. Is there anything newer than what's in the hardy repos (yes, I'm using hardy) and if not, what's the process for building support for that device into the netboot kernel?
[18:37] <void_pointer> ZooK,  just ask
[18:37] <izzaboo> i'm missing the side-by-side option in the Install app.  Acer Aspire One D250.  Wanting to install for dual boot.  heh.  @guest16518, me too!
[18:38] <void_pointer> izzaboo, side by side? Dual boot?
[18:38] <zalincognito> I have an HDX18 laptop, and from the beginning I haven't been able to get sound to come out of anything but the headphone jack. Anyone know a solution for this?
[18:39] <izzaboo> in the Install app I was expecting three options for answering the Question Where do you want to put Ubuntu 9.04?  I only have two.
[18:39] <izzaboo> I see Use entire disk or Specify partitions manually
[18:39] <void_pointer> izzaboo, well, I'm flying blind - it's been a while since I installed from scratch. But that sounds right. What was the other option you wanted?
[18:39] <Halitech> izzaboo, is it under manual?
[18:40] <ZooK> anyone know a site which explains really really simply yet effectively how to change users in ubuntu so that i can access root folder?
[18:40] <Halitech> !root | ZooK
[18:40] <izzaboo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOneAOD250  indicated there should be a side-by-side option...
[18:40] <void_pointer> ZooK, what is it you want to do?
[18:40] <makmum1> Halitech: are 9:04 Support driver via chrome?
[18:41] <ZooK> someone gave me ubuntu laptop
[18:41] <ZooK> so ineed to backup some stuff
[18:41] <izzaboo> halitech, under Manual it just allows me to edit partitions...
[18:41] <ZooK> mainlytransfer stuff to external
[18:41] <zalincognito> I have an HDX18 laptop, and from the beginning I haven't been able to get sound to come out of anything but the headphone jack. Anyone know a solution for this?
[18:41] <ZooK> thanks halitech
[18:42] <Halitech> ZooK, then you just need to change the permissions on the drive, not use root
[18:42] <jimmy51_> how does ubuntu support the latest HP Smart Array controllers?  does HP provide drivers?
[18:42] <Halitech> makmum1, no idea, not very well if they do from what I've read
[18:42] <void_pointer> Halitech,  you're going to have to slow down a little, and find out what the newbs are actually trying to do ;)
[18:42] <izzaboo> void_pointer, using the same USBStick I used a month ago to talk my dad into installing Ubuntu on his 8.9" AAO.  *then* I saw the third option.  *now* I don't.
[18:42] <Neremor>  which is the most common codex for video files right now? divx or xvid or anything else?
[18:43] <ZooK> ill try halitechthanks
[18:43] <seidos> Hi I'm kevin, and I'm an alcoholic, ermmm, I mean a newb
[18:43] <makmum1> Halitech, ummm
[18:43] <ZooK> and yes... havent installed mykeyboard drivers... stillflucky
[18:43] <Halitech> izzaboo, shrink your windows partition under windows first and then install to the empty partition
[18:43] <zalincognito> I have an HDX18 laptop, and from the beginning I haven't been able to get sound to come out of anything but the headphone jack. Anyone know a solution for this?
[18:43] <seidos> is there a difference?  :o
[18:43] <Bug-C> hi, I messed up my raid 5 (consisting of 6 discs). I am using Ubuntu and used mdadm to manually fail two devices. Then I recognized my error and added them again. Now mdadm recognizes these two discs only as spares. Is there any possibility that I can restore my raid array (that is explain to mdadm, that it should use these two devices are disc 5, 6 of the raid and not as spare)
[18:44] <izzaboo> anyone know of a channel or forum specific to Acer Aspire One Ubuntu?
[18:44] <Halitech> void_pointer, I still think of myself as a newb after 3 years :)
[18:44] <void_pointer> ZooK, you want to copy from the ubuntu root directory to another hard drive/device
[18:44]  * seidos thinks he'll be a newb forever
[18:44] <void_pointer> Halitech, heh, I'm at intermediate stage after 12 ;)
[18:44] <izzaboo> Halitech, i've only been using linux for half a year, I'm absolutely still a newb.  each new machine makes me a newb!
[18:45] <ZooK> just some files i found online which said is located in the root directory
[18:45] <Conde> hi
[18:45] <trijntje> !hi | conde
[18:45]  * seidos is getting rid of all his doc and odt files, and making them plain text
[18:45] <Conde> anybody can help me?

[18:46] <Conde> i have a problem with my printer
[18:46] <zalincognito> Can anybody help me with my sound issue?
[18:46] <trijntje> Conde, we don't know, ask and you will find out. If nobody responds, nobody knows the awnser :)

[18:48] <izzaboo> interesting: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot  that page seems to describe yet another and different set of install steps.
[18:48] <izzaboo> grrrr
[18:48] <ZooK> erm.... sec halitech.. gonna try something... thanks for the help... <3
[18:48] <arosen> Hello does anyone know anything added a new kernel to menu.list that i have compiled myself? I'm getting a grub error 11.
[18:48] <Conde> ?
[18:48] <izzaboo> void_pointer, oh i know!  :D
[18:48] <trijntje> conde: what have you tried so far? (plz put my name in front of your awnser, so I see you are talking to me)
[18:48] <McAku> Mitä oli ne kanavat joilla jutellaan suomee?
[18:48] <Conde> ??
[18:49] <void_pointer> izzaboo, ok, to get a hold of the real problem - you don't see an empty partition you can use?
[18:49] <LjL> !fi | mcaku
[18:49] <Ese> I'm trying to install ubuntu using unetbootin and the ubuntu mini.iso but I'm getting an error at the boot
[18:49] <McAku> kiitos avusta
[18:49] <jalonso> hey, anyone here ever tried to do Linux From Scratch install?
[18:50] <zalincognito> Okay, well thanks anyway everyone.
[18:50] <izzaboo> void_pointer, nope.  only two partitions on /dev/sda  1 & 2.  both ntfs.  one is the Visa loader??? ~7.5GB and the other is XP ~150GB
[18:50] <izzaboo> void_pointer, err, I mean Vista loader
[18:50] <void_pointer> izzaboo, ok, well you don't have a free partition to install onto. Hence, no 3rd option
[18:51] <trijntje> conde: what have you tried so far to get the printer working? (plz put my name in front of your awnser, so I see you are talking to me)
[18:51] <izzaboo> void_pointer, so I'd have to somehow rip off a chunk of the XP partition and reformat it?  is that possible without destroying current intsallation of XP??
[18:51] <archman> how can i force an app to appear in notification area instead of in taskbar?
[18:51] <sebsebseb> hi
[18:52] <jalonso> void_pointer: hey, void, were you in the LFS Irc chatroom just now??
[18:52] <void_pointer> izzaboo, well you'll have to shrink the partition. Don't jump into that just yet .. one sec
[18:52] <void_pointer> jalonso, yeah I was going to direct you there ;)
[18:53] <jalonso> void_pointer: ah, ok, unfortunately no one is answering :(
[18:53] <void_pointer> izzaboo, first choice (for you) do you have a windows utility you can use to shrink the partition
[18:53] <jalonso> void_pointer: thanks anyways :)
[18:53] <void_pointer> jalonso, i have done so, but a looong time ago. Sorry
[18:53] <jalonso> void_pointer: did you see it as a lost cause?
[18:53] <izzaboo> void_pointer, I've not installed one.  this is a fresh from the store AAO D250.  It is still freeeesssshhhh.  heheh
[18:54] <void_pointer> jalonso, not at all. Great learning experience
[18:54] <izzaboo> void_pointer, but I will look into that.  is there one you'd recommend?
[18:54] <void_pointer> izzaboo, allright. Well if you don't have something like "partition magic" for windows, you can use this guide --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370598
[18:54] <jalonso> void_pointer: oh ok, well thats encouraging to here
[18:55] <jalonso> void_pointer: thanks for the pointers!  *pun*  :D~
[18:55] <izzaboo> btw, Acer's eRecovery seems a bit weak.  how does one use it when the machine won't boot from the backup/restore DVD it created???
[18:55] <izzaboo> if my HDD fails I'm hosed.  I wish I hadn't paid for this copy of XP!
[18:55] <void_pointer> jalonso, use references - safer ;)
[18:55] <void_pointer> izzaboo, they didn't supply a DVD?
[18:55] <jalonso> void_pointer: references? how do you mean?
[18:56] <void_pointer> jalonso, never mind. Programming "joke"
[18:56] <izzaboo> void_pointer, nope.  seems as if one must order it from them on line.  another 20USD!
[18:56] <jalonso> void_pointer: OHHH!  lol, I never was good at C++
[18:57] <void_pointer> izzaboo, cripes ... well, if it is a just installed/new installation you should be able to shrink it without losing anything
[18:57] <void_pointer> izzaboo, or affecting anything
[18:58] <izzaboo> void_pointer, ya.  I'm not afraid of losing any data.  I just don't want to lose my paid-for copy of XP (for various reasons).
[18:58] <void_pointer> izzaboo, well you can use a demo/trial copy of partition magic to shrink it
[18:58] <izzaboo> void_pointer, and they make it quite clear that if you wipe the whole drive their recovery system won't work....
[18:59] <izzaboo> void_pointer, partition magic.  I'll look into it.  thanks!
[18:59] <warriorforgod> izzaboo: Do you not have the license key for that copy of windows?
[18:59] <void_pointer> izzaboo, yeah, they are talking about that first partition, the "recovery" one
[18:59] <void_pointer> heh first thing I do is wipe the whole drive ... :)
[19:00] <izzaboo> warriorforged, you'd think I would!  I've not been able to find it on the machine or in the docs that came with it.  i suppose I need to call Acer...
[19:00] <void_pointer> izzaboo, if there isn't a trial version, look at this page --> http://www.optimizingpc.com/miscellaneous/resize_windowspartition.html
[19:00] <markit> any special IRC channel for "remix"?
[19:00] <warriorforgod> izzaboo: Try this.
[19:00] <warriorforgod> izzaboo: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/
[19:00] <warriorforgod> izzaboo: It should give you your license key.
[19:01] <izzaboo> lol, magicaljellybean.  I will look at both those sites, warriorforged & void_pointer.  thank you very much!
[19:01] <izzaboo> better go feed the little girl!  bbl maybe

[19:08] <Stoy> I have a small but weird problem with Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell Latitude E5400, whenever X goes
[19:08] <void_pointer> waltman, set it up in your email client. Outgoing server
[19:08] <waltman> postfix is installed, but it look like it was never configured.
[19:08] <genii> kevliu: Because you can search for something like: mail in nthe descriptions and get info on ALL the mail-related pages
[19:08] <alex__> hey guys, I had an ati card in then i put a better nvidia card in. now i cant seem to get the drivers to install. i have tried envy also
[19:08] <macdonalder> kevliu, if you'd like to know of other pages that reference a command, configuration file, function, etc.
[19:08] <kevliu> Hmmm.
[19:08] <kevliu> I see.
[19:08] <kevliu> So man -k malloc
[19:08] <Stoy> I have a small but weird problem with Ubuntu 9.04 on my Dell Latitude E5400, whenever X goes down, my screen starts to flicker, that is untill somthing user than just plain text comes on screen
[19:09] <kevliu> Will list all the man pages that reference the "malloc" keyboard?
[19:09] <waltman> void_pointer: The goal is to have php's mail() command use it.
[19:09] <jimcooncat> man -k encryption
[19:09] <jimcooncat> gpg (1)              - OpenPGP encryption and signing tool
[19:09] <jimcooncat> seahorse-tool (1)    - PGP/GnuPG file encryption for the GNOME Desktop
[19:09] <purpzey> alex__: Have you tried the restricted drivers manager?
[19:09] <void_pointer> waltman, you can still direct the php mail() call to use the SMTP server you want to use
[19:09] <waltman> So I see.  Thanks.
[19:09] <jimcooncat> kevliu: see my man -k encryption above
[19:09] <Pici> kevliu: apropos is also a terminal command.
[19:10] <Barnabas> or man -K
[19:10] <kevliu> Hmmm.
[19:10] <kevliu> I'm still not entirely clear on when I would use man -k <item>
[19:11] <void_pointer> waltman, but if you just want to set up postfix it's pretty easy
[19:11] <fccf> kevliu: the apropos man page gives discription of what man -k does
[19:11] <pvvni> if I want to change my tty text size
[19:11] <pvvni> I know I can do setterm
[19:11] <pvvni> but how can I make it default on startup
[19:11] <Pici> kevliu: When you're searching for a command to do 'something', man -k something.
[19:11] <jimcooncat> kevliu: like in my example, I wanted something that does encryption, but I didn't know which man page to look at
[19:11] <kevliu> Oh, okay.
[19:11] <pipa> whats the camand to change run level singel user, something like init 2??
[19:11] <kevliu> I think I'm starting to understand.
[19:11] <jrib> pipa: why?
[19:11] <testingsomestuff> Don't mind me .. testing something
[19:12] <Icemagic> hmm
[19:12] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: TEST
[19:12] <Icemagic> I need some helps guys
[19:12] <Icemagic> how do I get out of a channel =.=
[19:12] <kevliu> Thank you!
[19:12] <jrib> testingsomestuff: please test in a different channel
[19:12] <Eevee> Icemagic: /part #channel
[19:12] <jrib> Icemagic: depends on your client
[19:12] <Icemagic> it keeps coming back when I close it >.<
[19:12] <Icemagic> ah ok
[19:12] <pipa> coss I want to do a dpkg-reconfigure xorg!
[19:13] <jrib> pipa: so do it, you don't need to change to single user mode
[19:13] <fccf> testingsomestuff: please test in another channel as #ubuntu is very busy and is used for support not testing
[19:13] <pipa> uk thanks jrib
[19:13] <ectropy> guys, I'm trying to get my eeepc to show up on my mac. I can see my mac with my eeepc, but not vice versa. I'm running eeebuntu and snow leopard
[19:13] <void_pointer> waltman, the easiest way is just to put the right SMTP server into php.ini
[19:13] <waltman> does it need a sendmail command?
[19:13] <jrib> pipa: As a side note just so you know, runlevels 2-5 are identical in ubuntu/debian
[19:13] <Halitech> pipa, press ALT + CTRL + F2 and you will be in a new terminal log in
[19:14] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: How are you?
[19:14] <void_pointer> waltman, it needs a working email system to send through. So just adjust php.ini as necessary
[19:14] <Halitech> pipa, ALT + CTRL + F7 will bring you back
[19:14] <waltman> sendmail_path
[19:14] <void_pointer> waltman, no, just the SMTP setting
[19:14] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: Great :-)
[19:14] <pipa> ok thanks every one just not thinking..
[19:14] <waltman> so php's smart enough to get mail to a working remote smtp server without any email on its own local box?  cool.
[19:15] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: Thanks for the patch btw
[19:15] <fccf> waltman: php has a handler to sendmail
[19:15] <waltman> nice
[19:15] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: Oh well.. I'll see you
[19:16] <void_pointer> waltman, ah, you are on an ubuntu box wanting to do that?
[19:16] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: ping
[19:17] <fccf> waltman: /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
[19:17] <void_pointer> waltman, in which case, you'll need to install an MTA. Like postfix. The config will be minimal
[19:17] <heathkid> quick question... is it possible to pipe the output of "parted print" to a file?
[19:17] <hax404> where can i change my E-Mailadress in my launchpad-account?
[19:17] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: pong
[19:17] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: it's like 280 ms
[19:18] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: Way too much
[19:18] <testingsomestuff> carresmd: isn't it?
[19:18] <waltman> fccf: THAT'S WHAT I ASKED.
[19:18] <waltman> sigh
[19:19] <Tronic> What's the 9.10 irc channel?

[19:22] <dragonlyre> t0rMentIum can we have a bit more info? drivers, what ya tried, system, etc?
[19:23] <void_pointer> waltman, what you aren't listening to is that you can have the MTA listening on the localhost or a remote machine
[19:23] <seidos> another place to look for start up apps in gnome aside from system -> prefs -> startup applications?

[19:34] <waltman> I need to change a (real) name in /etc/passwd.  Can I just edit the file, or is there some official way to do it?
[19:35] <superbird> ??? Need some help with my ?Contact Us" email section.  I can fill it out but I never get a test email.
[19:36] <larsemil> i have some problems setting my wifi card in the monitor mode using the tools in aircrack. anyone got an idea on what to do?

[19:37] <valley> larsemil, I have the same problem depending on which wireless cards I use. For some cards its just broken
[19:37] <waltman> aha, thanks!
[19:37] <larsemil> valley: i have a broadcom card...
[19:37]  * Starenki spent twoo weeks to get B4311 working
[19:38]  * Starenki meens 4311 in paticular
[19:38] <valley> I use a broadcom card as well, and mine works ok. Potentially you need to ifconfig wlan0 down, then do the airomon wlan0 thing
[19:38] <larsemil> ok will try
[19:38] <valley> when using the broadcom that is. I havn't gotten it to work with atheros
[19:38] <SuperUser|David> how do i get c++ running with eclipse? i always get an error "Launching"
[19:39] <axisys> none of my logs have been rotated for more than a month.. here is an snippet http://pastebin.com/d34cc17cf
[19:39] <axisys> anyidea why ? and how do I rotate them now?
[19:40] <Robert_Zenz> Hello everyone
[19:40] <larsemil> valley: well i do ifconfig eth1(the broadcomcard) down and then sudo airmon-ng start eth1 11 and i still only get link encap ethernet
[19:41] <axisys> am I hitting a bug?
[19:41] <larsemil> oh hillarious ubuntu keyserver seems down
[19:41] <ubuntu> who said my name???
[19:41] <Robert_Zenz> I've copied a FAT32 partition from one harddisk to another, unfortunately these two now have the same UUID, how can I change this? I've found tune2fs for ext and similar fs, but nothing for FAT32.

[19:43] <macdonalder> ok, progress. I'll re-frame my questions. The atl1e module is missing from the hardy netboot initrd, how does one have it added?
[19:44] <genii> macdonalder: add it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and rebuild the initrd
[19:45] <macdonalder> will that work for the netboot initrd as well? I had assumed it was tuned for netboot installs whereas the generic one wasn't (a call to the installer somewhere?)
[19:46] <Robert_Zenz> Does somebody know how to change the UUID of a FAT32 partition?
[19:47] <Ese> Hi, is there any way to install kubuntu from the xubuntu iso? I mean, I have a xubuntu iso, and I want to end up with kubuntu, but I neither want to download the kubuntu iso nor install xubuntu and then, kubuntu, is there a way to do this? just asking

[19:50] <derik> i can install ubuntu on a ntfs drive?
[19:50] <Two4> yes
[19:51] <Two4> i think
[19:51] <Robert_Zenz> derik: you could, but it's most likely not the best idea.
[19:51] <valley> Is it only possible with wubi?
[19:51] <derik> i whant to share file with a windows machine
[19:51] <thiebaude> !wubi
[19:51] <Robert_Zenz> derik: NTFS is missing all rights-management features, which would render nearly everything useless.
[19:51] <tzafrir_laptop> Is this the place to ask about issues with packaging?
[19:51] <thiebaude> derik, its better to use a linux file system
[19:52] <tzafrir_laptop> I'm trying to build a certain Debian package of mine in a hardy chroot with pbuilder
[19:52] <valley> Ideally ext3 boot partition of 200megs and ext4 / partition for the rest of the drive
[19:52] <derik> then how i share a file to windows users ?
[19:52] <Neremor> when i want to rip a dvd, which bpp value would you suggest me to use? I can choose in 0.05-steps (0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 ... to 1.00)
[19:52] <tzafrir_laptop> (host is Debian sid, FWIW)
[19:52] <valley> with a potential /home partition of ext4
[19:52] <tzafrir_laptop> Build fails, and the cause for this is basically:
[19:52] <Pici> tzafrir_laptop: #ubuntu-motu might be a better bet
[19:53] <Neremor> I found out that 0.05 (by way the smallest file) gives an low-quality result, but everything about 0.20 or so i can't see any difference
[19:53] <Neremor> except the file size

[20:00] <thiebaude> brandon420, what graphics card?
[20:00] <brandon420> geforce 8400 gs
[20:00] <Two4> brandon, you need to get the restricted opengl drivers for your graphics card
[20:00] <thiebaude> brandon420, i have the same one
[20:01] <brandon420> where i get them? i got the drivers from the hardware driver thingy
[20:01] <Two4> those are the very basic free drivers
[20:01] <thiebaude> brandon420, did you goto system-admistration-hardware drivers
[20:01] <brandon420> yeah
[20:02] <brandon420> and sorry, i dont know how to pm back on this, im used to mirc
[20:02] <Two4> the restricted drivers can be found in the restricted repository
[20:02] <thiebaude> brandon420, and it will serach and select the first one thats recommended
[20:02] <Two4> let me get you a link to the package you need
[20:02] <brandon420> i got the recomended driver, its like 180.something
[20:03] <thiebaude> brandon420, but you got to save the settings
[20:03] <brandon420> a friend of mine had it working, but of course i messed it up

[20:11] <Pastoolio> tvtime, lemme try that thanks

[20:12] <Pastoolio> i do
[20:12] <tvjudge> thanks purpzey
[20:12] <durt> Pastoolio, known bug in the user directory, need to change permissions for that dir to save preferences.
[20:13] <Two4> sorry pastoolio, I was talking to brandon
[20:13] <dumont> I am having trouble moving 1 file into the same directory's subdirectory, anyone know why the permission is different for a subdirectory? i am the root and I did not change anything
[20:13] <Pastoolio> durt: thanks
[20:13] <dumont> although I'm root, I am not using root account to move the file
[20:13] <Pastoolio> for some reason i can't get mythtv to work
[20:13] <Th3d3aD_91> guys, i'm trying to write on a text file with a bash... but sincerly i can't find a way..can someone help me please?

[20:15] <Two4> really?

[20:17] <josvuk> Hello, how can someone change the default windowsize from the termial?
[20:18] <Pici> thiebaude: no, a helper. :)

[20:19]  * thiebaude fast
[20:19] <Two4> seidos: we're talking about the same thing, I suspect
[20:19] <rmccinfo_> Comment fait on pour se connecter sur ubuntu en français
[20:19] <thiebaude> rmccinfo, i cant comment on your web mail server
[20:20] <seidos> Two4: ah, sarcasm
[20:20] <thiebaude> rmccinfo, non
[20:20] <Two4> text has a nasty habit of not conveying that, seidos
[20:20] <thiebaude> rmccinfo, your web server doesn't connect
[20:21] <Pici> rmccinfo_: This channel is english only
[20:21] <axell> xchat helpguide Please? where i can find it...?
[20:21] <seidos> Two4: that it does
[20:21] <Two4> the french have invaded!

[20:21] <mmarker> ok, anyone good with QoS and ubuntu, trying to figure out how to do something sanely. problem is, cant use more than x gb a month.
[20:22] <Two4> alex_ have you enabled restricted drivers?
[20:22] <thiebaude> seidos, oui
[20:22] <josvuk> thiebaude: I mean the terminalapplication windowsize when I launch it with doubleclick, it shoud be 70 x 120 charackters and not only 24 x 60 chars
[20:22] <thiebaude> josvuk, i dont know that
[20:23] <dumont> perhaps make the user an admin? I already added to sudoers username (ALL)=ALL ALL
[20:23] <dumont> anything else I should do?
[20:23] <larsemil> is there a curses or similar interface for jockey?
[20:24] <seidos> josvuk: I had a similar problem.  I wanted the terminal window to be smaller, but I couldn't figure out how to change its default size
[20:24] <Two4> larsemil, in my experiance, if you curse at a jockey, they punch you in the groin
[20:24] <Two4> experience*
[20:24] <seidos> josvuk: automatically upon start up anyway
[20:24] <larsemil> Two4: :)
[20:25] <Balsaq> i have a clean intall of 8.10 and it runs great, is there any reason why i should upgrade to the 9.04?

[20:25] <cumulus007> Hi, what's the difference between the Main and Universe repo?

[20:30] <coordinador> but still have the problem
[20:30] <kris_> Hi. I just bought a Dell Inspiron Mini, with Ubuntu pre-installed. I am trying to get it to use the b43 driver, instead of the wl driver. Is there any way to force this?
[20:31] <Balsaq> i guess the software knows when you answer me and your name comes up bright...ok thanks again (thiebaude)
[20:31] <thiebaude> Balsaq, np
[20:31] <thiebaude> Balsaq, oh, you got compiz?
[20:32] <DonBrazini> hello
[20:32] <meero> hello
[20:32] <Balsaq> i didn't instal compiz? maybe if it came inside of 8.10? (thiebaude)
[20:32] <DonBrazini> sup?
[20:32] <boscop> how can I disable the possibility that someone hacks my root password when he has physical access to my laptop?
[20:32] <thiebaude> Balsaq, ok
[20:32] <mrwes> kris_, does the b43 driver show in system | admin | hardware drivers?
[20:32] <sash_> boscop: by default, root is not enabled.
[20:33] <clearscreen> boscop: you don't.. all hope is lost with physical access
[20:33] <meero> cool man
[20:33] <boscop> sash_: I've read this: http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-hack-root-password-in-linux/
[20:33] <Balsaq> what is compiz(thiebaude)...
[20:33] <DonBrazini> help me with the sound problem,its driving me insane.
[20:33] <thiebaude> !compiz
[20:33] <boscop> sash_: how can I disable that for me?
[20:33] <brandon420> another question.............., when im in a terminal, and something is running, but i want to close it (without brandon@brandon420-desktop:~$) how would i close that without it messing shit up?
[20:34] <coordinador> When i try to open a file from other user, i got that a file is locked
[20:34] <sash_> boscop: first, you can set a password for grub. google that
[20:34] <bale> zdr
[20:34] <kris_> mrwes: There's some kind of Broadcom driver here. Lemme restart the mini and see what happens now ...
[20:34] <dojo> in ubuntu 9.04, xorg.conf doesn't seem to be used as much. its like all the options disappeared. can anyone help me setup dual monitors?
[20:34] <dumont> whats 755 chmod vs 777?
[20:34] <boscop> sash_: won't that be possible anymore, then?
[20:34] <sash_> when you setted up the password, nobody can modify grub-entries without knowing the password
[20:34] <dojo> dumont, look up file permissions
[20:34] <krdyt> can someone help me get my new winxp install to show up on boot menu and run if selected? its on /dev/sda3/ on my (hd0) drive i have 2HDDs
[20:35] <dumont> they are confusing as to what 1st 2nd and 3rd digits are
[20:35] <mrwes> kris_, I'll pray for ya :)
[20:35] <dumont> i know 7 is everything
[20:35] <dumont> read write and execute
[20:35] <dojo> dumont, look up chmod permissions and binary values
[20:35] <kris_> mrwes: Why thanks. Don't hear that too often on this kind of channel. ;-)
[20:35] <sash_> boscop: in this blog-entry you posted, the "hacker" has been able to modify those entries. if he is not, he cannot do this woooow"HACK!!!!"
[20:36] <mrwes> 4= read 2=write 1=execute
[20:36] <clearscreen> boscop: you may also want to look into LUKS
[20:36] <mezquitale> Is it possible to configure 128-bit WEP key with passphrase in ubuntu??
[20:36] <mrwes> kris_, bunch of non-believers :)
[20:37] <colblood> i get Failed on every file i try to unrar from commandline, ideas?
[20:37] <sash_> clearscreen: i dont really think so
[20:37] <mrwes> colblood, unrar e file.rar doesn't work?
[20:37] <DonBrazini> anyone?
[20:37] <Lifestream> ~ Hi all. Can I load LiveCD Ubuntu into Virtualbox in Windows, and from that VB Ubuntu, format an 320GB USB drive, and install Ubuntu into that USB drive?
[20:38] <kris_> mrwes: Ok. So, jockey just tried to install the "Broadcom STA wireless driver", but after the reboot, says that it is still not enabled. I'm not sure if that's the same as the b43 driver ... this isn't quite the Vanilla Ubuntu install ....
[20:38] <dojo> is anyone fluent on the new xorg stuff in here? (ubuntu 9.04+)
[20:38] <kris_> mrwes: Anyways, I can't seem to get it enabled.
[20:38] <coordinador> I have ubuntu 9.04, i have openoffice3, i got the error that a file has been locked by other user but that is not true
[20:38] <Two4> why not boot the liveCD then install Ubuntu on to the external drive from there?
[20:38] <Eevee> Lifestream: I..  think that should work yes, as long as the VM has full access to the usb drive
[20:39] <mrwes> kris_, could try using wicd instead of the network-manager aplet
[20:39] <Lifestream> Eevee, Yes!! Thank you :D
[20:39] <ratapoil> is CUPS-PDF obsolete in jaunty?
[20:39] <CocaCola77> Hi, I have this old left over grey box (Piv 1.4ghz, 256mb, 20gb) pc. That used to be a winxp machine. I want to use it as ubuntu server and then especially samba with nt4 like domain controller. Is there a way that I can test that machine is able to the task? I mean not physical but that it's a stable machine and doesn't crash due to hardware every other day?
[20:39] <Eevee> Lifestream: not positive!  but you can always boot directly off the cd if it doesn't work
[20:39] <kris_> mrwes: Never heard of it, but I'll give it a shot ...
[20:39] <mrwes> kris_, hang on I might have a link
[20:40] <Miko2> Okay, I ran the software updates, and it seems my Ubuntu got updated to karmic development branch and now / is mounted as readonly.
[20:40] <Lifestream> Eevee, yeah that's the thing, I'm so clumsy; all my blank CD's are scratched *snickers*
[20:40] <Miko2> Which prevents me from doing anything.
[20:40] <ratapoil> What's the easiest way to print to PDF in jaunty? (from a web article, not from openoffice)
[20:40] <mrwes> !wicd
[20:40] <kris_> mrwes: Actually, what I'm trying to do is enable aircrack-ng support. The `wl' driver doesn't seem to provide monitor/promisc support.
[20:40] <Mit> ratapoil, cups-pdf ?
[20:40] <DonBrazini1> Miko,dude,you will have to reinstall
[20:40] <blackxored> where's the lyrics support in banshee???
[20:40] <Cpudan80> !pdf | ratapoil
[20:40] <DonBrazini1> the same happened to me
[20:40] <Miko2> DonBrazini1: No!? :(
[20:40] <DonBrazini1> trust me
[20:40] <Cpudan80> ratapoil: hmm that factoid doesn't mention printing - you can add it under the printing config thing
[20:40] <Two4> Miko, first confirm that you have indeed done that
[20:40] <Eevee> Lifestream: ah, the tedium of cds is why I make a liveusb key  8)
[20:40] <DonBrazini1> does it says unmet dependencies?
[20:40] <Cpudan80> ratapoil: one of the options is CUPS/PDF
[20:41] <Mit> got an interesting one with the Karmic beta - I wondered if anyone would be able to help - every boot i get Ubiquity firing asking me 4 questiosn to "complete the install"
[20:41] <Miko2> DonBrazini1: Where?
[20:41] <Two4> what's the shell command to check your ubuntu version?
[20:41] <dedal> some one to know a program for data recovery and for system clean
[20:41] <Flannel> Mit: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic support, thanks
[20:41] <Flannel> Two4: lsb_release -a
[20:41] <DonBrazini1> do one thing,try installing any package.
[20:41] <mrwes> kris_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD
[20:41] <Mit> ta Flannel
[20:41] <ratapoil> I tried CUPs-PDF it keeps not working. Tried a lot of solutions offered on the web, none works. it always says Idle - /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf failed
[20:42] <axell> join  #nugteq
[20:42] <Two4> Miko, type the command 'lsb_release -a' into your terminal to check your version
[20:42] <Lifestream> Eevee,  oh yes! I will have to try that!
[20:42] <Miko2> Two4: Ubuntu karmic..
[20:42] <Two4> thanks Flannel
[20:42] <DonBrazini1> am tellin you,re install.
[20:42] <Two4> yup, reinstall
[20:42] <kris_> mrwes: Hmm. I can't find it in my repository on this netbook: dell-mini.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted
[20:42] <DonBrazini1> you wont be able to do a thing
[20:43] <DonBrazini1> Two4 can you help me with something?
[20:43] <Miko2> Okay..
[20:43] <Guest46088> Hi there, I'm looking for an app suggestion. I have an XP hard disk and I want to make a compressed backup, so I can restore it later on a separate (smaller) partition
[20:43] <Two4> coffee would be great
[20:43] <Miko2> But, how did apt-get install karmic? O.o
[20:43] <shoss> i forgot how i made my desktop transparent now i can't see the icons, how do i get it back?
[20:43] <Miko2> Or software updates.
[20:44] <DonBrazini1> reinstall ubuntu,Miko.
[20:44] <Miko2> Yes, I'm doing it.
[20:44] <DonBrazini1> i have no sound after the updates
[20:44] <DonBrazini1> i tried everything possible
[20:44] <DonBrazini1> any ideas?
[20:44] <Two4> shoss, can you access your desktop context menu?
[20:44] <shoss> Two4: yes
[20:45] <Miko2> But all I'm asking, what I did wrong to get software updates to upgrade to karmic, so I won't do it again? :P
[20:45]  * Guest46088 wants to make a backup of only about ~8 GB that's actually being used, not the 152 GB empty space
[20:45] <DonBrazini1> Miko2,it happens

[20:45] <Two4> shoss, go to change desktop background, then click on the visual effects tab

[20:47] <DonBrazini1> Miko,its irritating man .. lol ... i have been through it.
[20:47] <lasthopesinyouu> How do i get the maximize/minimize/exit option with the title bar on top of programs? All I see is file view and those options. No way to exit the program except from the bottom bar

[20:56] <TLF> it's the keyserver working?
[20:56] <Miko2> I hope I have the USB stick lying around somewhere so I can actually do the reinstall.. :P
[20:56] <DonBrazini> dont you have the disk,Miko
[20:57] <Miko2> Nope. I got Ubuntu-stick. :P
[20:57] <DonBrazini> LOL
[20:57] <saru> i put Ubuntu on my USB 4gig stick, and i loved the install
[20:57] <DonBrazini> Nice
[20:57] <saru> worked great
[20:57] <neptune_> what program can i use to watch my movies?
[20:57] <DonBrazini> VLC
[20:57] <saru> mplayer
[20:57] <Eevee> totem
[20:57] <saru> bsplayer
[20:57] <neptune_> Movie Player lags, and doesn't show subtitles
[20:57] <saru> xine
[20:57] <Miko2> Of course, I have Windows, so if all else fails, I can start using it instead. :P
[20:57] <DonBrazini> Windows sucks
[20:58] <saru> VLC is nice :)
[20:58] <DonBrazini> i havewindows 7
[20:58] <DonBrazini> virtualbox
[20:58] <saru> you like windows 7?
[20:58] <neptune_> should i download VLC?
[20:58] <neptune_> hello?
[20:58] <Miko2> I like Windows 7.
[20:58] <_s_k_y_> VLC is the best
[20:58] <saru> i use VLC on my windows box
[20:58] <Eevee> VLC has a good backend but the UI is still kinda ugly, not very native, and obviously built by engineers
[20:58] <DonBrazini> No,but i am a poker addict,i need windows 7 .. lol
[20:58] <duffydack> how to make a good OS.... make a bad one before it..
[20:58] <meero> windows 7 is best
[20:59] <boscop> how can I set a global proxy for ubuntu that all internet protocols should use?
[20:59] <DonBrazini> VLC is good,but the latest version has some trouble playing dvd's.
[20:59] <saru> i need to get a copy of Windows 7
[20:59] <meero> yes mee to
[20:59] <DonBrazini> i Have it
[20:59] <DonBrazini> LOL
[20:59] <neptune_> VLC is not on synaptic :(
[20:59] <DonBrazini> go to add/remove
[20:59] <duffydack> apt-get install vlc
[20:59] <DonBrazini> windows 7 is wayy better than any windows releas
[20:59] <Two4> shoss, go to your terminal and type in 'sudo ccsm'
[20:59] <boscop> DonBrazini: how so?
[21:00] <ED6EY> I just got Ubuntu for the first time and i'm trying it out on my eee pc netbook, i'm just wondering is there any way to disable your trackpad while typing. It's gotten very annoying when tying out longer documents? thanks in advance!
[21:00] <neptune_> duffydack i am on ubuntu
[21:00] <Eevee> is it really surprising (or impressive) that the latest release of some software is the best version so far?
[21:00] <DonBrazini> boscopyou dont agree?
[21:00] <duffydack> neptune_, snap
[21:00] <boscop> ED6EY: Fn+F7 works for me
[21:00] <neptune_> i have apt-get but i was told it's for kubuntu
[21:00] <duffydack> neptune_, you were told wrong.
[21:00] <shoss> Two4: i got the compizconfig settings manager
[21:01] <Eevee> ED6EY: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Disabling%20the%20Touchpad%20Temporarily%20While%20Typing
[21:01] <saru> ED6EY, disabling your touch pad is an option your laptop has now the Operating System
[21:01] <ED6EY> I mean disable it auto then reenable auto after some given delay
[21:01] <saru> usually its a Function key, for me its Fn (Function) + F7
[21:01] <DonBrazini> saru,you ever got any sound problems?
[21:02] <Two4> shoss, any luck with that?
[21:02] <DonBrazini> saru,
[21:02] <saru> i haven't used Ubuntu for that long myself
[21:02] <XDevHald> I have an issue with my windows not popping up in front of each other. Say I have firefox open and I launch Computer from Places, it will go behind firefox and not in front.
[21:02] <saru> no sound issues that i know of...
[21:02] <DonBrazini> Devhald,u using compiz?
[21:02] <DonBrazini> my sound went off after the updates
[21:02] <DonBrazini> :|
[21:02] <saru> XDevHald, do you have your firefox on "always ontop"?
[21:02] <ED6EY> Eevee: thank you will try this
[21:03] <saru> right click on the menu bar and make sure it doesn't say always on top
[21:03] <shoss> Two4: not yet, i've been all over that menu but so far couldn't find it
[21:03] <duffydack> neptune_, smplayer is also a good player
[21:04] <assinine> I can't bring windows to the 2nd desktop (gnome) by dragging them to the side of the screen. Anyone know what's wrong?
[21:05] <duffydack> assinine, might need to enable viewport switcher plugin in compiz
[21:05] <assinine> i have all desktop effects turned off, duffydack
[21:05] <assinine> "none"
[21:06] <Two4> I think it may be under the settings for the desktop cube in the desktop category, shoss
[21:06] <duffydack> assinine, do you mean multi monitors?
[21:06] <assinine> no
[21:06] <duffydack> assinine, virtual desktops then?
[21:06] <neptune_> thx
[21:07] <assinine> no the 2nd desktop ubuntu has to the right by default.
[21:07] <duffydack> assinine, its a compiz effect..
[21:07] <shoss> Two4: that's the settings for the cube's transparency, i need the desktop transparency..
[21:07] <wullie43> hi all
[21:07] <duffydack> assinine, needs cube or the wall
[21:07] <motorr> hi all
[21:07] <assinine> duffydack: what is the wall?
[21:08] <Two4> I think they may be one and the same, judging by the forum posts
[21:08] <wullie43> im total linux noob who can help lol
[21:08] <duffydack> assinine, plugins for compiz.. you need to enable cube or the wall.
[21:08] <assinine> duffydack: what is "the wall"?
[21:08] <boscop> how can I set a global proxy for ubuntu that all internet protocols should use?
[21:08] <JohannesSM64> wullie43: don't ask to ask, just ask
[21:08] <DonBrazini1> shoss,
[21:09] <DonBrazini1> go to
[21:09] <Two4> it was just complete coincidence that these two unrelated problems intersected in the same topic at the same time?
[21:09] <duffydack> assinine, you cant drag windows to other desktops like that unless you have compiz enabled.  metacity doesnt allow that
[21:09] <DonBrazini1> desktop cube
[21:09] <ryguy> Is there a way to indent the newlines from the output of a `fold` command?
[21:09] <assinine> duffydack: but I've done it before without turning anything on.
[21:09] <DonBrazini1> desktop cube->transparent cube->opacity when not rotating.
[21:10] <DonBrazini1> it will cure your "problem"
[21:10] <XDevHald> DonBrazini1: Yes I am using compiz
[21:10] <DonBrazini1> what was ur problem,devhald?
[21:10] <XDevHald> Opening a window and it going behind others and not in front.
[21:10] <donaldo> 	
[21:10] <donaldo> operate as an integrated subwoofer toshiba x205 laptop with realteck ALC268, anyone know?
[21:11] <duffydack> assinine, for that effect you would have had compiz enabled.. with the desktop wall or cube plugin...  Ive never known plain old metacity do that.
[21:11] <XDevHald> I always seem to forget how to do this option.
[21:11] <shoss> DonBrazini1: yes! thank you!
[21:11] <ryguy> er, donaldo, your first line was omitted, please send again
[21:11] <DonBrazini1> you are welcome,shoss :)
[21:11] <DonBrazini1> devhald
[21:11] <shoss> Two4: DonBrazini1 found it.. thank you
[21:11] <duffydack> assinine, I think you can drag a window from the desktop switcher applet in panel like that, but not from an actual desktop
[21:11] <DonBrazini1> its something to do with compiz settings
[21:11] <XDevHald> Correct
[21:11] <DonBrazini1> will look inti it
[21:11] <XDevHald> Thank you.
[21:11] <shoss> yeah i knew that i just forgot where i changed it :p
[21:12] <saru> be back in a few
[21:12] <DonBrazini1> Shoss,new to ubuntu?
[21:12] <ryguy> Is there a way to indent the newlines from the output of a `fold` command?
[21:12] <shoss> DonBrazini1: yes i am
[21:12] <shoss> migrated from vista :p
[21:12] <neptune_> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[21:12] <XDevHald> DonBrazini1: It looks to be something with the focus for the windows.
[21:12] <Nadroj> Is there a command to see what my proxy server and port?
[21:12] <neptune_> VLC doesn't show my subtitles
[21:12] <DonBrazini1> good thing,vista sucks
[21:12] <donaldo> 	
[21:12] <donaldo> if anyone knows how to configure an integrated subwoofer toshiba x205 laptop with Realtek ALC268?
[21:13] <neptune_> its like it doesn't have greek characters
[21:13] <Two4> no problem
[21:13] <motorr> how can i find the german ubuntu channel
[21:13] <Two4> !de
[21:14] <Nadroj> Anyone know a command to see what my proxy server and port is?
[21:14] <jrib> Nadroj: your question is too vague
[21:14] <motorr> Two4, do you know when the next version of ubuntu will come out?
[21:14] <strange> the website
[21:14] <DonBrazini1> april 2010
[21:14] <strange> no
[21:14] <strange> thats the version after karmic
[21:14] <Eevee> karmic is october
[21:14] <motorr> DonBrazini1, next year?
[21:14] <Nadroj> jrib: What else do you need?
[21:15] <DonBrazini1> the stable version,yes,next year
[21:15] <Two4> motorr, I don't. check the documentation on karmic koala, though
[21:15] <motorr> ok thanks
[21:15] <jrib> Nadroj: how did you set it?
[21:15] <Nadroj> jrib: I'm not sure if there is one set, so i'm asking is there a command to check?
[21:16] <hairywombat001> g'day, is there a way I can easily upgrade from Ubuntu Jaunty desktop edition to Ubuntu Netbook Remix?
[21:16] <DonBrazini1> No
[21:16] <DonBrazini1> you will need to have a netbook for that
[21:16] <jrib> Nadroj: well, one way to set it would be to set $http_proxy for example.  You could also just specify it for a particular app if it supports that (like firefox)
[21:16] <jrib> Nadroj: why do you want this?
[21:16] <hairywombat001> DonBrazini1: I am using a netbook. It has stock Jaunty installed, want to switch to UNR
[21:16] <whileimhere> hi when I go into my LXDF desktop the NBR also pops up in the background. I want to get rid of it permentaly. How can I do this?
[21:16] <phoenixz> Anyone here who has some experience with printers? Using a HP3420, printing anything (even text), the printer head makes a printing pass.. waits like 2-3 miniutes and then does it again, etc.. until its finished.. as in, its slow as hell. Eventually the printer was tried even on WinXP, but the problem persists.. What could this be?
[21:17] <Otacon22> Is the ubuntu keyserver down?
[21:17] <DonBrazini1> yeah,then you can ... download the netbook remix,install it,i guess,thats the best way.
[21:17] <DonBrazini1> Otacon,yeah,i guess.
[21:17] <LjL> Otacon22: many people have asked the same question, so probably yes
[21:17] <Nadroj> jrib: I just want to know what my proxy is.  I'm not sure if I'm behind one, so is there a terminal command to check?
[21:17] <jrib> Nadroj: check the value of http_proxy...
[21:17] <purpzey> phoenixz: Are you sure the printer is working? If it doesn't work in windows, and it doesn't work in Ubuntu. . .
[21:17] <XDevHald> DonBrazini1: http://www.mail-archive.com/compiz@lists.launchpad.net/msg01438.html
[21:18] <Nadroj> jrib: Where can I find that?
[21:18] <jrib> Nadroj: echo $http_proxy
[21:18] <ZykoticK9> DonBrazini1, you could start by just installing the interface "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix"
[21:18] <Nadroj> jrib:  Echoed back nothing.
[21:18] <Nadroj> Blank line.
[21:18] <enduser000> hello, does anyone know if there's a program in ubuntu that can read .one (one note) files? I unfortunately have one here and can't open it
[21:18] <jrib> Nadroj: then it's not set
[21:18] <phoenixz> purpzey: The same problem is there in windows and in ubuntu..
[21:19] <purpzey> phoenixz: Right, I am suggesting that maybe the issue is with the printer.
[21:19] <DonBrazini1> Zykotik,indeed,but it will be upgraded,lots of problems in that.
[21:19] <Nadroj> jrib: Thank you.
[21:19] <Eevee> hairywombat001: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-netbook-remix-in-ubuntu-810804.html for intrepid, ought to be similar for jaunty
[21:19] <jrib> Nadroj: you could probably use traceroute to check differently
[21:19] <DonBrazini1> i have my sound down because of an update
[21:19] <Two4> enduser, hold on. let me see
[21:19] <hairywombat001> eevee: thanks man!
[21:19] <enduser000> Two4: thanks
[21:19] <Eevee> sure
[21:19] <phoenixz> purpzey: I'd think so too, but what could cause just slow printing? its all perfect, prints without problem but one page of texts takes like 30 minutes
[21:20] <phoenixz> thats.. just weird..
[21:20] <ZykoticK9> DonBrazini1, you'll get the update probably the exact same in Stock or UNR?!?!
[21:20] <purpzey> phoenixz: If the printer was physically broken somehow, just a guess if it doesn't work in two O/Ses.
[21:20] <DonBrazini1> UNR , it will cause upgradation problems.
[21:20] <DonBrazini1> as in
[21:21] <DonBrazini1> the sound might not play,kernel wont accept the sound card.
[21:21] <saru> Hey quick question, how do you restart the Ubuntu X Manager without restarting the computer, looks like Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is disabled
[21:21] <purpzey> !dontzap | saru
[21:21] <ZykoticK9> DonBrazini1, you'll be getting the same Kernel updates on both systems - it's the same OS when it comes down to it
[21:21] <jrib> saru: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[21:22]  * LjL slaps jrib for ignoring invoke-rc.d
[21:22] <DonBrazini1> Zykotick,have you ever upgraded from a previous distro to a new one?
[21:22] <enduser000> saru: you can do "sudo /etc/initd./gdm restart" in a terminal or "gksu /etc/initd./gdm restart" in the run (alt+f2) prompt
[21:22] <jrib> LjL: I was gonna go with sudo service gdm restart but wanted to provoke you
[21:22] <arcsky> i run hamachi on my ubuntu server but i cant browse files from samba, can it be my iptables firewall?
[21:22] <duffydack> UNR is only a few packages to install....well it was when I first tried it.
[21:22] <LjL> jrib: only fair.
[21:22] <DonBrazini1> i want a net book :(
[21:22] <DonBrazini1> (
[21:22] <hairywombat001> trying... sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix
[21:23] <hairywombat001> all done
[21:23] <hairywombat001> thanks for the tips guys
[21:23] <scotsguy> hey guys
[21:23] <duffydack> ^ so theres a metapackage now... it was maximus and some other things before :) nice
[21:23] <hairywombat001> time to reboot and see what happens :)
[21:23] <scott_ino2> DonBrazini1, I'll sell you one ;-)
[21:23] <ZykoticK9> DonBrazini1, a couple of times, but when I suggested "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix" it's NOT the same as installing from a UNR USB stick!  This just adds the UNR interface to a regular Ubuntu.
[21:24] <DonBrazini1> i will give you an offer that you can not refuse :p;
[21:24] <DonBrazini1> LOL
[21:24] <duffydack> isnt that all people care about really..the only reason to use UNR is for the interface..
[21:24] <scott_ino2> anyone know if the UNR works with touchscreen?
[21:24] <scott_ino2> just curious
[21:24] <DonBrazini1> Zykotick,my bad. :P
[21:25] <Two4> Holy cow I just discovered my compiz expo plugin
[21:25] <FoolishOwl> I have a wireless router that I've misconfigured. I want to overwrite the firmware via tftp, but I don't know what the IP address of the router is.
[21:25] <Two4> shwoop-shOOoop
[21:25] <Two4> shwoop-shOOoop
[21:25] <lunatic> ccsm makes configuring compiz easy
[21:25] <duffydack> Two4, awesome isnt it
[21:26] <saru> FoolishOwl, your DNS should be the IP to the router
[21:26] <saru> usually like 192.168.1.1 or something
[21:26] <Two4> YES!
[21:26] <DonBrazini1> my sound isnt working,help ma :|
[21:26] <DonBrazini1> me*
[21:26] <FoolishOwl> saru, I'm not using the router to connect to the Internet, currently.
[21:27] <saru> it should still have a Local IP
[21:27] <duffydack> all those plugins and I dont touch the keyboard to use em :)
[21:27] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, don't know if this is really the channel for this, not that I mind ;-)
[21:27] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, what firmware are you using?
[21:27] <FoolishOwl> Right, it should have an IP address, but I don't know how to determine what it is.
[21:27] <DonBrazini1> anyone?
[21:27] <saru> connect it to your computer
[21:27] <FoolishOwl> I'll move to a different channel if there's one more appropriate.
[21:27] <saru> and do a ipconfig or ifconfig
[21:27] <mikeymike> HI MATT
[21:27] <krammer> I am trying to remove a program (directory) but the only way to do it file by file I forgot the command
[21:28] <Matt08642> HI MIKE!!
[21:28] <FoolishOwl> It is connected to my computer now.
[21:28] <xguru> is there a plugin that i need to install to listen to radio stations streaming music?
[21:28] <mikeymike> HOW ARE YOU MATTHEW
[21:28] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, i was only giving you a hard time im not the IRC police
[21:28] <FoolishOwl> I haven't yet changed the firmware.
[21:28] <saru> well if your connected to the router do a ifconfig under linux or ipconfig under windows
[21:28] <scott_ino2> xguru, try streamtuner
[21:28] <xguru> scott_ino2: thanks
[21:28] <scott_ino2> xguru, although many other players should work as well
[21:28] <saru> it should list your connected devices and give you a DNS IP for the router
[21:28] <FoolishOwl> At one point, I was trying to change it to wireless access point mode, and I haven't been able to access the thing since.
[21:29] <scott_ino2> xguru, are you yrying to do it via a website, or through an application
[21:29] <FoolishOwl> saru, it doesn't report an IP address for it.
[21:29] <xguru> well in firefox it opened up a flash windows, but nothing played...just stayed black
[21:29] <saru> you using windows?
[21:29] <xguru> web
[21:29] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, so stock firmware, if you hard reset router should go back to being 192.168.1.1
[21:29] <FoolishOwl> No, Ubuntu.
[21:29] <FoolishOwl> scott_ino2, that's part of the puzzle. For some reason, the hard reset doesn't work.
[21:30] <saru> FoolishOwl, try clicking this link.. http://192.168.1.1
[21:30] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, give me one sec
[21:30] <saru> see if that connects you to your router
[21:30] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, sometimes hard resets can be weird... i have some suggestions
[21:30] <saru> you could go to google
[21:30] <FoolishOwl> I'd love to read them.
[21:30] <scott_ino2> xguru, do you have a link i can sample to check for you
[21:30] <saru> and look up your model number for the router and find the manual.
[21:31] <Matt08642> I am trying to mount my old SATA hard drive in a live session with windows XP installed on it. It seems like windows has marked it as in use: http://imgur.com/DZkJv.png
[21:31] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, on some routers you literally have to hold the button down for 30-45 seconds have you made sure you've done that
[21:31] <Matt08642> I just want to copy old files to back them up before formatting
[21:31] <Fox3211> firefox question here. firefox crashes every time I go away from start page. what gives?
[21:31] <DonBrazini1> saely remove it
[21:31] <FoolishOwl> That might be it.
[21:31] <DonBrazini1> and then use it
[21:31] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, try that first, if not let me know
[21:31] <DonBrazini1> safely remove it in windows
[21:31] <xguru> can i pate a url here, or message it to you?
[21:32] <Matt08642> I can't as I don't have a computer with a SATA port
[21:32] <scott_ino2> xguru, if it's long message me
[21:32] <xguru> http://www.channel955.com/main.html
[21:32] <izzaboo> i don't know if anyone here was on earlier when I was asking about installing Ubuntu on AAO D250 and I wasn't having the option to install it "side by side"...but I burned a CD with the .iso and booted from that.  Now I have the option.  crazy.  same image i used to make my liveUSB stick
[21:32] <DonBrazini1> i dunno then,ubuntu wont mount it
[21:32] <xguru> scott_ino2: on the right it says "on air"  just click that...i couldn't copy the direct url for some reason
[21:32] <scott_ino2> xguru, k let me check
[21:33] <saru> is there an option in Ubuntu or Compiz that dims your brightness if you don't use your mouse or keyboard for a few mins?
[21:33] <scott_ino2> xguru, this is a flash based player but works for me, do you have flash installed
[21:33] <DonBrazini1> ubuntu has
[21:33] <DonBrazini1> dunoo bout compiz
[21:33] <saru> how do you disable it?
[21:34] <xguru> scott_ino2: yes, it comes up with an arrow on most sites and i click it to view it..
[21:34] <nmvictor> i have a .rpm package , how do i install it using alien?
[21:34] <erUSUL> !alien
[21:34] <krammer> how can i remove a directory tried rm sudo <filename> -r but I am getting this error  descend into directory
[21:34] <Matt08642> How do I unmark my SATA drive as "in use?"
[21:35] <scott_ino2> xguru, when you click "listen live" does it launch a new window for you and launch the player?
[21:35] <erUSUL> krammer: is "rm -r foldername"
[21:35] <DonBrazini1> system->preferences->power management
[21:35] <alex_> i cant get emerald to work
[21:35] <KaiForce> I restored (with Clonezilla)  my dual boot windows/Ubuntu system.  The Windows system partition was encrypted with Truecrypt.  When I restored, the system reverted to the Grub boot loader.  Anyone have any idea how I can force the system to go back to the truecrypt bootloader?
[21:35] <Two4> enduser, I'm not finding much. the extension is proprietary, so I don't think open source developers want to touch it
[21:35] <xguru> scott_ino2: no it does open a new window.  In that window i have a huge background with an grayish arrow.  When i usually click these windows they load in though
[21:35] <nmvictor> how do i install a .rpm package using alien?
[21:35] <krammer> erUSUL, I am getting descending into directory?
[21:36] <saru> DonBrazini1, thanks
[21:36] <saru> got it working :)
[21:36] <DonBrazini1> pleasure
[21:36] <erUSUL> krammer: any other error ?
[21:36] <krammer> no
[21:36] <Fox> I guess i will try again. Anyone a firefox guru?
[21:36] <scott_ino2> xguru, hmmm that's not what happened for me, I got a loading screen and then it displayed all the controls along with other ads,pictures
[21:36] <boscop> hey. where is the grub.conf file??
[21:36] <krammer> another words I am being asked to descend the directory
[21:36] <DonBrazini1> i use chromium
[21:36] <DonBrazini1> :P
[21:36] <saru> i had the first window set, but on the second tab there was another idle check box i missed :)
[21:36] <scott_ino2> xguru, what
[21:36] <boscop> grub.conf is not in /boot/grub/
[21:37] <Eevee> krammer: 'sudo' goes first.  it looks like you're trying to delete a file named 'sudo'.  and the switches go after the command name.  you want 'sudo rm -r <filename>'
[21:37] <scott_ino2> s your environment? most recent ubuntu, 32 or 64 bit, firefox ?
[21:37] <krammer> ill try it thanks
[21:37] <xguru> karmic, and firefox 3.5.3
[21:37] <krammer> thanks you guys
[21:38] <alex_> it wont load, fusion icon, alt f2 emerald replace. it wont come up anymore
[21:38] <alex_> emerald --replace that is
[21:38] <FoolishOwl> scott_ino2, no luck so far. One odd thing is that when I executed "sudo ifdown eth0," part of the response is "DHCPRELEASE on eth0 to 192.168.2.1 port 67"
[21:39] <FoolishOwl> I would think that would mean that it *had* connected to 192.168.2.1 at some point.
[21:39] <xguru> scott_ino2: whats the best way to see if i still have the up to date flash?
[21:39] <squeezecheeze> "boys drool girls rule mavens mule"  -- quoth the WORKHORSE
[21:39] <djbpython> where should i put bash scripts so they are executable from anywhere?
[21:40] <squeezecheeze> /usr/local/bin
[21:40] <scott_ino2> xguru, any reason you're using karmic? it's beta you know right?
[21:40] <erUSUL> !karmic
[21:40] <xguru> yea, i only have it on this laptop.
[21:41] <scott_ino2> k just wanted to make sure you were using it intentionally
[21:41] <scott_ino2> xguru do you still have firefox 3.0.14 installed or no?
[21:41] <xguru> yea 9.04 has alot of hardware issues...supposedly fixed in 9.10 already
[21:41] <scott_ino2> oh wait you're using karmic nevermind
[21:41] <alex_> why wont my emerald load?
[21:41] <DonBrazini1> 9.04
[21:41] <xguru> nope.  3.5.3
[21:41] <erUSUL> !emerald
[21:41] <scott_ino2> xguru, yes 9.10 fixed a Lot...
[21:41] <DonBrazini1> sound troubles,lol.
[21:42] <mikeymike> hey guys how do you become root in a live cd
[21:42] <mikeymike> sudo yields options
[21:42] <mikeymike> su requires a password
[21:42] <Keiffer> how can i make the Terminal to remember a x*Y size?
[21:42] <Keiffer> mikeymike,  sudo su
[21:42] <mikeymike> OH DUH
[21:42] <mikeymike> HAHAHA
[21:42] <mikeymike> i always forget that!
[21:42] <scott_ino2> xguru, sorry i can't assist more, as im not running karmic, perhaps i can try and install in vmware and test, im in this channel a lot
[21:42] <djbpython> why can't i save a bash script in to usr/local/bin ?
[21:42] <erUSUL> !rootshell
[21:42] <jerkman> this may be the wrong channel to ask, but i cant get onto certain networks on irc
[21:43] <mikeymike> ubottu, thanks botty  :)
[21:43] <erUSUL> djbpython: you have to use sudo to writte there
[21:43] <xguru> scott_ino2: no need, thanks for the help....i'll just do some more reading :)
[21:43] <Ese> Can I do a minimal install, just the CLI with a live xubuntu CD?
[21:43] <squeezecheeze> make sure you are typing '/usr/local/bin' and not just 'usr/local/bin'  (note the leading slash)
[21:43] <djbpython> erUSUL, but I am using gedit
[21:43] <FoolishOwl> Is there a way to scan for wireless networks at the command line?
[21:43] <Keiffer> how can i force the termina to rmember a specific size?
[21:44] <erUSUL> djbpython: save the scriptt in your home then move or copy it to /usr/local/bin/
[21:44] <dedal> djbpython chmod +w usr/local/bin
[21:44] <erUSUL> FoolishOwl: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[21:44] <djbpython> its silly that i need to drop to the command line to save a file
[21:44] <jerkman> the server i cannot access is irc.abjects.net:6667 can anyone verify?
[21:44] <scott_ino2> erUSUL, beat me to it
[21:44] <djbpython> haha, I have to make a copy then move it?
[21:44] <erUSUL> dedal: do not advise that silly thing...
[21:45] <rent0n> hello
[21:45] <rent0n> so it will be ubuntu software center and not store :)
[21:45] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, its possible it's not wlan0 it could be eth1 or eth2 whatever your device is
[21:45] <erUSUL> djbpython: you should have used « gksudo gedit » in thwe first place so the error is between the chair and the keyboard not in linux
[21:45] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, mine is: iwlist eth1 scan
[21:45] <mikeymike> why is this command not working: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Local Disk -o force
[21:46] <saru> FoolishOwl, what type of router do you have?
[21:46] <djbpython> erUSUL, possibly, but don't you see the backwardness of such a process?
[21:46] <mikeymike> i suspect it's the /media/Local Disk ?? spaces in linux console?
[21:46] <erUSUL> mikeymike: it would help to see the error you get
[21:46] <lupu> hi... i`m new in ubuntu... how can i make mi sound to work 5+1? i have a realtheck sound card and is working only on 2 channels
[21:46] <mikeymike> erUSUL, usage instructions
[21:46] <ximusic> charakters like ∀ are not displayed in the right way in abiword. How can I fix that?
[21:46] <mikeymike> thats all
[21:46] <saru> FoolishOwl, sometimes when you do a hard reset on your router for Netgear for instance it disables Wireless functions
[21:46] <jerkman> can someone verify that for me please... irc.abjects.net is down from my machine... can anyone verify
[21:46] <djbpython> I've made a file, I want to save it to my filesystem, but before I can I need to jump through these extra hoops
[21:46] <erUSUL> djbpython: i see why it is needed. to prevent linux to become a virus loaded windows clone
[21:46] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, I can't stress enough how awesome and better an open firmware is (I use dd-wrt)
[21:47] <scotsguy> irc.p2p-network.net
[21:47] <FoolishOwl> saru, a Belkin F5D-7230-4002
[21:47] <seidos> scott_ino2: open firmware?  where?
[21:47] <mikeymike> erUSUL, it's just giving useage options... as if the command was issued incorrectly
[21:47] <djbpython> well at least have gedit/nautilus give me a root password prompt like if I were to run synaptic
[21:47] <xguru> scott_ino2:  u asked if i had flash installed.  I double checked because somethings get confused during upgrades.  Sure enough it hadn't been installed
[21:47] <scott_ino2> seidos, google dd-wrt, tomato firmware
[21:47] <saru> scott_ino2, what do you mean by open firmware?
[21:47] <scott_ino2> xguru, yay so does it work now
[21:47] <erUSUL> djbpython: if you want to writte whatever you want just install windows. you and anyone else will be able to writte whatever they please virus trojans malware all wriitting all over your hard drive... but hey at least i can too yay!!!

[21:47] <mike45094> I would say thif I chmod a directory and I want everything insite that directory to be touched with the same permissins how do I do that ? ..isn't is like chmod +t 644 or something like that?
[21:47] <FoolishOwl> scott_ino2, my plan is to install dd-wrt on this old Belkin, so I can use it as a wireless ethernet bridge.
[21:47] <scott_ino2> saru, an open router firmware such as dd-wrt
[21:48] <xguru> scott_ino2: yes it does.....just wanted to give u some credit....thanks again
[21:48] <jerkman> can someone verify that for me please... irc.abjects.net is down from my machine... can anyone verify
[21:48] <scott_ino2> xguru, cool beans!
[21:48] <mike45094> if I chmod a directory and I want everything insite that directory to be touched with the same permissins how do I do that ? ..isn't is like chmod +t 644 or something like that?
[21:48] <mikeymike> why is this command not working: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Local Disk -o force <--- i suspect it's the /media/Local Disk ?? spaces in linux console? it just tells me how to use the command. as if i did it wrong?
[21:48] <erUSUL> mikeymike: probably becouse of the space in the mount point name. enclose the name of the mount point in ""
[21:48] <Meekohi> Hello. If I have a .iso but want to install from a USB-key, how would I convert the .iso to a .img ?
[21:48] <mikeymike> thats what i thought
[21:48] <scott_ino2> FoolishOwl, yes that is a nice feature, just read up a LOT about dd-wrt bridging, it brought me many pains, and works better on certain routers
[21:48] <mikeymike> erUSUL, how about using the forward slash delineators?
[21:48] <mikeymike> can you tell me that way
[21:48] <FoolishOwl> I think it's broadcasting a wireless signal, so I guess I could try disconnecting from my regular network and connecting to it wirelessly, although it's actually connected by wire right now.
[21:49] <erUSUL> mikeymike: that's the other option. scape the spaces with \
[21:49] <sheepsy> Hey all, I'm trying to get package statistics from aptitude. I want to know when various packages were installed. Is that possible to get?

[21:49] <kris_> Hi. I just bought a Dell Mini with Ubuntu pre-installed. I would like to force it to use the b43 driver, instead of the default wl driver, to connect wireless-ly, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Could anyone offer some help, please?
[21:49] <mikeymike> erUSUL, so it would be "/media/Local Disk"    or /media/Local\ Disk     ???

[21:49] <mgv2> how can i work on a text for forum and make a backup of the text in background as auto save?
[21:49] <FoolishOwl> Actually, I'm sure it's broadcasting, because it's the right MAC address.
[21:49] <erUSUL> mikeymike: both should work
[21:49] <mikeymike> awesome thanks
[21:49] <scott_ino2> jerkman, yes it's down
[21:49] <mikeymike> more hassling to come......

[22:16] <greenkernel> beam > type /list
[22:16] <razor_X> Darkebrz, did you fully remove java first?
[22:16] <greenkernel> :P
[22:16] <Darkebrz> razor_X, I removed all java packages
[22:16] <razor_X> hmmm
[22:16] <programble> greenkernel: suicide...
[22:16] <jerkman> are there any desktop unix distros?
[22:16] <nmvictor> which package provides glib development files?
[22:16] <greenkernel> :P
[22:16] <razor_X> Darkebrz, check and see which version of java your game requires
[22:16] <XDevHald> Has anybody figured out how to set the New Window Focus for 9.04 in compiz?
[22:16] <programble> nmvictor: glib-dev most likely
[22:16] <guntbert> boscop: I have such a file, but is just an old copy of menu.lst
[22:16] <beam> xps9000: well, id like to start my own business, and i want to find people who are familiar with that and have experience
[22:16] <Darkebrz> razor_X, It needs java 6, which I am using
[22:17] <beam> programble: thanks
[22:17] <erUSUL> nmvictor: glibc-dev ?
[22:17] <razor_X> Darkebrz, is it a web game or a downloaded game?
[22:17] <boscop> guntbert: so I should add "password --md5 <code>" to menu.lst at the end?
[22:17] <Darkebrz> It is a web based game
[22:17] <Darkebrz> I am running Firefox
[22:17] <programble> beam: np. you can do a search from there
[22:17] <razor_X> Darkebrz, link me
[22:17] <nmvictor> programble: No such package, erUSUL lemme try that
[22:18] <xps9000> beam, your best bet is to find a network that has channels devoted to whatever you are looking for
[22:18] <nastjuid> hey guys, I've been trying to set up this machine as a proxy with kerberos auth and ldap user info, but when I try `getent passwd` it keeps throwing 'Invalid Credentials'. using cn=administrator, so I don't think it's telling the truth
[22:18] <guntbert> boscop: sorry, no idea - I don't mess with grub :-)
[22:18] <programble> nmvictor: you can make use of the aptitude search function
[22:18] <Darkebrz> http://minecraft.net/play.jsp
[22:18] <tomas_> i cant hear nothing
[22:18] <razor_X> Darkebrz, what browser are you using?
[22:18] <nmvictor> erUSUL: no such too
[22:18] <boscop> erUSUL: should I add "password --md5 <code>" to menu.lst at the end?
[22:18] <Darkebrz> razor_X, just said, Firefox
[22:18] <erUSUL> nmvictor: search for something similar. i'm good bu i still do not have the apt database in my head you know ;)
[22:18] <xps9000> Darkebrz, I am inclined to think you didn't remove Java completely, run java -version in the terminal to check and see if it's still installed
[22:18] <jaggy> is there any tool to compare 2 images for difference?
[22:18] <beam> xps9000: actually im looking for a network that discusses affiliate marketing
[22:18] <programble> nmvictor: aptitude search glib | grep dev
[22:19] <xps9000> beam, marketing in what sector?
[22:19] <erUSUL> boscop: it should work in any position afaik
[22:19] <razor_X> Darkebrz, hmmmm its loading for me do you have the jre 6.16 firefox plugin?
[22:19] <boscop> erUSUL: ok, thanks
[22:19] <cellofellow> anybody know a way to embedd Evince into Firefox (Shiretoko) to view PDF and other documents? Similar functionality with OpenOffice for MSOffice/ODT documents too would be nice.
[22:19] <beam> xps9000: affiliate marketing. Its mostly done online
[22:19] <Darkebrz> razor_X, hm, maybe not. Where do I find this?
[22:19] <Darkebrz> xps9000, It would still be installed, I reinstalled it
[22:20] <cellofellow> and I'm not real interested in mozplugger unless someone can show me how to really make the most of it and have it not override existing plugins.
[22:20] <nmvictor> erUSUL: programble: Actually i am compiling xmms and it couldnt find glib-config so i guess it provided by some glib development file.
[22:20] <beam> xps9000: promoting other peoples products and recieving a comission
[22:20] <razor_X> look in your synaptic manager
[22:20] <erUSUL> nmvictor: install build-essential for a start
[22:20] <erUSUL> !xmms | nmvictor
[22:20] <xps9000> beam, there are so many sub categories in affiliate marketing. Hmm, what sort of products? Technology, makeup? Lawn Mowing?
[22:20] <Darkebrz> razor_X, I have, I removed anything related to java and then reinstalled the needed packages
[22:20] <programble> nmvictor: libglib-dev maybe? or libglib1.2-dev or libglib1.2-dev
[22:20] <erUSUL> !ot | xps9000 beam
[22:20] <rocky_> genii, are you here?
[22:21] <SeaPhor|game> nmvictor, with 9.04 it may be glib2-devel
[22:21] <nmvictor> programble: erUSUL thanks
[22:21] <purpzey> How do I install the jre-plugin for Firefox?
[22:22] <sebsebseb> purpzey: sudo apt-get intsall sun-java6-jre
[22:22] <xps9000> erUSUL, keep your !ot to yourself. I'm trying to help him find the right server.  beam, I cannot help you, since people don't allow ot'ing! So, if you need something, just pvt me. Please.
[22:22] <erUSUL> purpzey: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:22] <jaggy> is there any tool to compare 2 images for difference?
[22:22] <erUSUL> purpzey: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[22:22] <Darkebrz> Really, I need help, I can't get this to load
[22:22] <beam> xps9000: im thinking of web hosting because of the idea of residual income
[22:22] <Darkebrz> If the jre plugin is in restricted extra then I have it
[22:22] <baggar11> purpzey: or sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
[22:23] <rocky_> I started backing up a drive last night that had bad sectors.  It has been about 19 hours now, the harddrive being backed up is 640 GB sata 3.0 Gb/s and the hardrive that its being backed up to is usb 2.0.......... is it just me, or is this taking to long?
[22:23] <rocky_> btw, I'm using dd
[22:24] <guntbert> xps9000: please move that "finding the rigtht server" to another channel (or to PM)
[22:24] <first> hay guys my friend just installed unbuntu and his sound dont work. what do
[22:24] <erUSUL> rocky_: well usb 2.0 has 30-35 MB/s max... also maybe it is retrying to much on bad sectors ??
[22:24] <rocky_> hmm... maybe
[22:24] <erUSUL> rocky_: maybe gddrescue is more suited to the task
[22:25] <xps9000> guntbert, it's already been done, why are you all over me. Good god, communistic channels
[22:25] <rocky_> well, I'll give it another day... lol.. there is tons of disk access
[22:25] <jaggy> is there any tool to compare 2 images for difference?????
[22:25] <Darkebrz> Okay, I am going to restate my problem. I have a java game that I can't play. I have sun-java-6 packages installed and jre. Can someone help troubleshoot this?
[22:25] <rcscomp> `groups <myuser>` lists a bunch of groups like adm, dialout, etc.  Where can I found out what these groups allow a user to do?
[22:27] <guntbert> rcscomp: most names are rather self-explanatory, members of admin are allowed to sudo
[22:27] <jaggy> Darkebrz, you got sun6-java-plugin installed?
[22:27] <nanotube> Darkebrz: jaggy: it's supposed to be "sun-java6-plugin"
[22:28] <jaggy> nanotube, good point :p
[22:28] <erUSUL> rcscomp: most other groups are to allow user to access some devices.
[22:28] <jaggy> well, anyone can help me with my problem? :(
[22:28] <yor> fffff...does anyone know how to access BIOS from Ubuntu??...
[22:28] <nanotube> jaggy: well, there is "diff" - it will tell you if the images are different or not - same as for any other binary file...
[22:28] <erUSUL> jaggy: byte by byte the same? do md5sum of the images and compare the sums
[22:28] <jaggy> oh, thnx :)
[22:28] <Darkebrz> nanotube, nope, I don't have it. Installing
[22:28] <Darkebrz>  :)
[22:29] <nanotube> Darkebrz: good luck ;)
[22:29] <rocky_> erUSUL, if/when I do that command, what would the syntax be? the partition being backed up is /dev/sda1 and its going to /dev/sdb2
[22:29] <nanotube> jaggy: md5sums will work too - but "diff file1 file2" is simpler :)
[22:29] <kkk> hallo kann mir jemand vielleicht helfen wo installiere ich bei xubuntu exe dateien hinein??
[22:29] <guntbert> yor: you cannot, you will have to reboot
[22:29] <erUSUL> rocky_: what command ? gddrescue ?
[22:29] <nanotube> !de | kkk
[22:29] <guntbert> !de | kkk
[22:29] <rocky_> erUSUL, yes
[22:30] <erikk71> be glad when i get the addition 256 mb
[22:30] <jaggy> nanotube, what about when the images differ in size? :s
[22:30] <erikk71> so ubuntu will run more smooth
[22:30] <nanotube> jaggy: if the files are not byte-by-byte the same, it will tell you that they're different.
[22:30] <erUSUL> rocky_: http://www.atlas-tuesday.com/using-gddrescue-to-save-your-data-part-1
[22:30] <rocky_> oh, erUSUL idk if it is relevant, but the filesystems are ntfs
[22:30] <yor> guntbert, i have ubuntu and i want to boot from CD to install XP. What  can i do?
[22:30] <scott_ino2> my lap is hot from my laptop.. sigh
[22:31] <jaggy> hmm, anyway around that? IFnot, i'll just use perl to quickly resize them in a tmp file
[22:31] <kkk> hello can somone help me plz where must i install exe dateien by xubuntu??
[22:31] <erikk71> with 256 mb it does ok
[22:31] <erikk71> i have to kill pc pnce
[22:31] <guntbert> yor: reboot, enter the bios-config, set it to boot from CD as first device
[22:32] <erikk71> an went to lxde
[22:32] <guntbert> kkk: exe-files are for windows, not for linux
[22:32] <kkk> rofl wine
[22:32] <FirstSgt> Any tutorials (recent) on setting up logetech mic/camera?
[22:32] <yor> "enter the bios-config"? how? i keep pressing DEL and i hear only a stupid deeeeep!!
[22:33] <TheChris80> hello everyone
[22:33] <nanotube> jaggy: well, remember that even if you resize, you have to use exactly the same algorithm, otherwise the bytes are still gonna be different... let me look around for an "image-specific" diff for you.
[22:33] <Darkebrz> Ugh
[22:33] <jaggy> thanks nanotube
[22:33] <Darkebrz> Java still wont work, one second I will give you the error message
[22:33] <nmvictor> i get this error when i start xmms,Error while loading shared libraies libxmms-so.1.Cannot open shared object or file.NO such file or directory.any one know why?
[22:33] <rocky_> hmmmmmmm... erUSUL, I'm pretty sure that dd is still working. the last time I checked, data was being written to the usb drive
[22:33] <nanotube> jaggy: maybe this? http://pdiff.sourceforge.net/
[22:34] <erUSUL> rocky_: i did not say dd was not working... i just said that maybe it would be sllower than a specialized app.
[22:35] <rocky_> ic
[22:35] <erUSUL> rocky_: you can still wait until dd finish
[22:35] <purpzey> erUSUL: Thanks for the info on the java plugin, worked perfectly.
[22:35] <TheChris80> hi people im new in ubuntu since few days
[22:35] <erUSUL> purpzey: no problem
[22:35] <jaggy> i'll give it a shot, thank you nanotube
[22:35] <guntbert> yor: most modern computers want F2 for the setup...
[22:36] <nanotube> jaggy: possibly also the imagemagick library 'compare' function may be helpful (as described in an aside on this page: http://www.phpied.com/image-diff/ )
[22:36] <yor> modern?? pfff..all these years i used DELETE
[22:36] <guntbert> !hi | TheChris80
[22:36] <lemurian> is it me, or are ubuntu fonts generically ugly (even with fixes)?
[22:36] <TheChris80> can anyone help me with my sound devices ?? :-S i working there since hours but without results
[22:36] <yor> thenks anyway!
[22:36] <nanotube> jaggy: you're welcome :)
[22:37] <TheChris80> thank you
[22:37] <yor> i've made plenty of rebbots today for this stupidity, just one more....
[22:37] <guntbert> lemurian: ugliness lies in the eye of the viewer, they say :-)
[22:37] <lemurian> guntbert: you should stop talking now.
[22:37] <scott_ino> yor, everytime you reboot "god" kills a kitten ;-)
[22:37] <TheChris80> i guess if u think its ugly so make your own skin on ubuntu ^^
[22:38] <setuid> Does anyone know of a colorized "configure" program? Similar to colormake, but one that wraps a GNU configure script? Something to output the "Looking for foo... no" style returns in red, for example?
[22:38] <guntbert> lemurian: I beg your pardon? No need to be rude...
[22:38] <scott_ino> lemurian, do you mean the default fonts used for the system or just the linux typeface in general
[22:39] <Darkebrz> UGH, please, I really need help. I need to fix my Java, and it seems that someone helps me then stops leaving me >_>
[22:39] <jrib> Darkebrz: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[22:39] <TheChris80> seems nobody can help me
[22:39] <jrib> TheChris80: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[22:39] <Darkebrz> Okay, I am going to restate my problem. I have a java game that I can't play. I have sun-java-6 packages installed and jre. Can someone help troubleshoot this?
[22:39] <guntbert> !sound | TheChris80
[22:40] <TheChris80> i have problems with my soiund devices (i have 2)
[22:40] <jrib> Darkebrz: what game?
[22:40] <TheChris80> sound
[22:40] <jrib> you guys need to be more specific...
[22:40] <Darkebrz> jrib, it is for Minecraft. minecraft.net/play.jsp for a link
[22:40] <Darkebrz> I guess I have to type out the error it gives me, as uploadscreenshot is down D:
[22:40] <TheChris80> i want hear with my onboard card but speak over my usb headset and i dont know how to make it work properly
[22:40] <brand0con> grub has rendered my windows drive (and linux disk) unbootable.  anyone particularly experienced with grub issues or repairing mbr on a windows disk?
[22:40] <jrib> Darkebrz: imageshack.us, imgur, etc....
[22:40] <guntbert> TheChris80: you could provide some more details too ...
[22:41] <purpzey> Darkebrz: I did the following commands to get that game working: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin and I restarted FireFox and it works.
[22:41] <jrib> Darkebrz: the game works here :)
[22:41] <gusan0r> Hello any from argentine ?
[22:41] <TheChris80>  i want hear with my onboard card but speak over my usb headset and i dont know how to make it work properly
[22:41] <bazhang> !ar
[22:41] <Darkebrz> purpzey, I have all of those (installed restricted extras was the first thing I did) and then I just recently got the java6 plugin but it still gives me the same error
[22:41] <TheChris80> for example over teamspeak i can hear but not speak
[22:41] <zebastian> Anyone here uses LXDE?
[22:42] <DonBrazini> TheChris,explain it again.
[22:42] <jrib> Darkebrz: pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy sun-java6-plugin
[22:42] <zebastian> I can't find the sound control in the lxde menu
[22:42] <XDevHald> Has anybody figured out how to set the New Window Focus for 9.04 in compiz?
[22:42] <brand0con> grub gives errors for both booting my windows xp drive and ubuntu disk.  how can i restore the mbr on a windows drive or make grub boot properly
[22:42] <DonBrazini> DevHald,still figuring it out mate.
[22:42] <TheChris80> i want use my onboard card as output but i want speak over my USB-headset
[22:43] <TheChris80> they are 2 different devices
[22:43] <scott_ino> TheChris80, this would be application specific
[22:43] <DonBrazini> try alsamixer -Dhw
[22:43] <scott_ino> TheChris80, what application
[22:43] <TheChris80> then im too stupid for linux teamspeak
[22:43] <Darkebrz> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/278256/ I will give the error in a second if it helps
[22:43] <TheChris80> Teamspeak
[22:43] <jrib> Darkebrz: pastebin the contents of "about:plugins" when you enter that in your address bar
[22:44] <DonBrazini> type alsamixer -Dhw

[22:46] <TheChris80> i have same over x-server but that dont fix my problem
[22:47] <danellisuk> Karmic by the way, so think it may be a regression due to the change from hal.
[22:47] <TheChris80> how to tell linux that he use my usb-headset as standard record device
[22:47] <jrib> Darkebrz: hmm, not what I thought then, but let's check anyway: sudo update-java-alternatives -l

[22:49] <Neremor> hello! I've successfully set up my 5.1 system with pulseaudio, but now i've a problem: The rear speakers are a bit more away from me than the front speakers. so i would like to make the front speakers have a volume of 0.8 and the rear speakers a volume of 1. I try to do this via the pulseaudio volume control, but i can only move all sliders at once there. if i deactivate the shield over the 6 sliders, i can move each slider for its own, but
[22:49] <Azulreus> nothing happen -.-'.... well well well...

[23:01] <Evelina> How do I get the title of a web page using command line?
[23:01] <prince_jammys> Azulreus: basically, once the minimal installation is finished, you do: sudo apt-get install lxde
[23:01] <sburwood> nmvictor, I forgot about permissions, but if I do rm -Rf as sudo, I should have permissions, right?
[23:01] <Evelina> I want the <title> and </title> tags of a web page and I also want to have everything between even if the tags isnät on the same line.

[23:38] <The-Compiler> Hi there, is it possible to do a presentation (e.g. as a PDF or ODP or even as a movie, doesn't matter), so the one who's looking at it can't skip sheets, but HAS to watch the hole presentation to get to the last sheet?
[23:39] <sebsebseb> !openoffice |  The-Compiler
[23:39] <darkham> i need help with transcode
[23:39] <bazhang> szeck, you drag and drop the tar.gz to the theme manager, many work straightaway, some do not (though there may be special instructions for installation)
[23:39] <sebsebseb> The-Compiler: the last bit
[23:39] <The-Compiler> sebsebseb: eh, read my question please ;) I don't think Openoffice has a such feature, I searched for quite a lot of time
[23:39] <The-Compiler> oh
[23:39] <iceroot> The-Compiler: if the user has access to the keyboard, he can cancel it
[23:39] <bayar> hello all, how to convert text files dos to unix ?
[23:39] <carresmd_> quick someone type /nick carresmd and tell me if it errors for you too
[23:39] <The-Compiler> nevermind
[23:39] <darkham> how would extract an audio track from the 2° stram of a dvd with 2 audio streams, how can i do?
[23:40] <afallenhope> so is there away of getting the latest version of firefox without having to download it from the moz site?
[23:40] <bazhang> carresmd_, seek help in #freenode please
[23:40] <The-Compiler> iceroot: yeah, cancel is okay, but he should only be able to get to the last part by watching everything before
[23:40] <bazhang> afallenhope, yes, install from repos
[23:40] <iceroot> The-Compiler: i dont think so
[23:40] <hikenboot> can anyone tell me how large the collective repositories for ubuntu powerpc repos are? the default ones in ubuntu powerpc?
[23:40] <iceroot> The-Compiler: you can always go through them manually imo
[23:40] <szeck> well how to install this for example http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murrine+GTK%2B+Cairo+Engine?content=42755
[23:40] <dsdeiz> rcconf is the bomb!
[23:40] <afallenhope> bazhang, I haven't found any "up to date" packages.
[23:40] <sebsebseb> The-Compiler: Ok what your wanting help with isn't really Ubuntu support, and so you can try asking in #openoffice.org  and/or #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:40] <szeck> is impossible
[23:41] <bazhang> szeck, let me try
[23:41] <afallenhope> found one ... when I tried to install it, it was from "shireko"
[23:41] <afallenhope> or whatever
[23:41] <Eevee> The-Compiler: that seems pretty rude, but someone could just scroll through the frames without reading them anyway
[23:41] <Eevee> afallenhope: shiretoko?  that's firefox 3.5
[23:41] <movaxes> to myself: yes you can with 2 netword cards, iprout2 and luck
[23:41] <bazhang> afallenhope, it is the most up to date, named that until the next release
[23:41] <szeck> ok bazhang, if u can try for me.... thanks
[23:41] <Biovore> hikenboot: checkout packages.ubuntu.com..  ppc isn't officaly supported but the current port is maintained by the community these days.  (I believe this is the case)
[23:42] <mdkess> Hi. I'm dual booting Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.04 with Grub, and I just got Windows 7, so I want to wipe my Vista partition and install 7 over it -  what do I have to do so I can boot Linux again after installing Windows 7?
[23:42] <The-Compiler> sebsebseb: well maybe there's another app or way to do it, as said, the final format doesn't matter as long one can play it on the machine it's made (i.e. mine), so it isn't specifically an OpenOffice-Question either
[23:42] <erUSUL> !grub | mdkess
[23:42] <sebsebseb> The-Compiler: I think KOffice has a presentation program as well
[23:42] <mdkess> Woo, thanks
[23:42] <sinthetek> does anyone know of a free email service that doesn't filter with DULs?
[23:42] <bazhang> mdkess, restore grub as the link above
[23:42] <sebsebseb> The-Compiler: plus you can  Wine Powerpoint
[23:42] <Elone> anyone know how to get tablet button working for lifebook T4220 on 9.04?
[23:42] <bazhang> sinthetek, that is offtopic here
[23:43] <hikenboot> Biovore, thanks for the idea but to let you understand what i am doing i am using apt-mirror to download the repositories to a machine without internet connection
[23:43] <sinthetek> bazhang yes, it is.
[23:43] <afallenhope> firefox 3.5.3 is the latest.. ver of ff
[23:43] <The-Compiler> or, well, is there any video format which doesn't allow skipping?
[23:43] <prince_jammys> heh
[23:43] <sebsebseb> afallenhope: yes
[23:43] <szeck> bazhang
[23:43] <bazhang> afallenhope, and that is what I have, from the repos
[23:43] <saru> how do i add a package to my Synaptic thats not on the list
[23:44] <prince_jammys> The-Compiler: just give 'em an exam later.
[23:44] <sebsebseb> !ff35 |  afallenhope
[23:44] <afallenhope> bazhang, where did you find it at? or is it named shiretoko or wahtever
[23:44] <bazhang> szeck, please be patient
[23:44] <naxa> hi, i have an "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device" and i have several questions in mind. first, kde runs too slow. can i expect more from this old "gpu"? is there a way to make kde run less eye-candy?
[23:44] <erUSUL> !intel | naxa
[23:44] <sebsebseb> naxa: ARe yiou on 9.04?
[23:44] <bazhang> afallenhope, as I explained, yes; it is named such until the next release of ubuntu
[23:44] <szeck> bazhang, yes, i'm impatient!! :D
[23:44] <mikla> lol @ google :D Request-URI Too Large
[23:45] <mikla> The requested URL /accounts/ServiceLogin... is too large to process
[23:45] <bambam_> How do I modify env PATH variable ?
[23:45] <afallenhope> okay. I just read that
[23:45] <afallenhope> hmm.. how would I update to karmic/
[23:45] <prince_jammys> bambam_: PATH=somepath:$PATH
[23:45] <afallenhope> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[23:45] <sebsebseb> afallenhope: don't do that yet
[23:45] <bambam_> prince_jammys: THANKS alot
[23:45] <sebsebseb> afallenhope: it's still in development verisons right now, and so buggy
[23:45] <Eevee> afallenhope: karmic is still pretty broken
[23:45] <prince_jammys> bambam_: you put it in your .profile and re-login
[23:45] <rski> afallenhope: sudo update manager -d when it's out.
[23:45] <sebsebseb> afallenhope: The final will be on October 29th
[23:46] <bambam_> I couldnt find syntax for the command
[23:46] <Nattgew> how can I convert a mkv video to something else?
[23:46] <afallenhope> bah. okay.
[23:46] <Eevee> afallenhope: just use the shiretoko build, it's current.  and karmic is out in a month
[23:46] <prince_jammys> Nattgew: avidemux, mencoder, ffmpeg ...
[23:46] <bambam_> prince_jammys: I think PATH=/home/me/scripts:$PATH will permanently change the path variable
[23:46] <bambam_> isnt it ?
[23:47] <Eevee> bambam_: what are you changing it for?
[23:47] <naxa> sebsebseb, yes, 9.04
[23:47] <prince_jammys> bambam_: there's already something like that in your default profile, only the dir is ~/bin
[23:47] <Hackwar> Hi, I've got Ubuntu Jaunty installed and am using Brasero to create my DVDs. However, Brasero takes exceptionally long to burn the disc, sometimes up to 40 minutes (the dvd drive is a 16x SATA drive). Should I use a different program and which would you advise me to use?
[23:47] <prince_jammys> bambam_: if you have a ~/bin dir, it gets added to your PATH on login.
[23:47] <Nattgew> prince_jammys: I found a guide that uses "-oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3" but mencoder says that -lameopts is not valid...
[23:47] <sebsebseb> naxa: Ok well as erUSUL already  pointed out by using the !intel bot trigger,   9.04 has Intel graphics card issues
[23:48] <sebsebseb> naxa: so if yours is working reasonably well, consider yourself lucky
[23:48] <jedc> are there any packages in jaunty or karmic that are functionally equivalent to gnump3d for streaming media off a server?
[23:48] <prince_jammys> Nattgew: sorry, I'm clueless of details. I always look them up when needed. Look into avidemux also.
[23:48] <Nattgew> thanks
[23:48] <sebsebseb> naxa: I read that 9.10 will have Intel graphic card fixes, but that's not out untill October 29th
[23:48] <bambam_> prince_jammys: See I have just started learning shell scripting and wrote my first script but wasnt able to run it due to path issue
[23:48] <bazhang> szeck, that is a method to install a new theme engine; not a theme per se; you will need to know about svn and compiling to install that theme engine.
[23:48] <prince_jammys> bambam_: is it fixed?
[23:49] <bambam_> so I just need to add a scripts folder in my home directory so that I can run scripts by writing their names
[23:49] <szeck> bazhang, ur italian?
[23:49] <prince_jammys> bambam_: the standard place for your personal scripts is /home/you/bin . Of course, you can make it whatever you want.
[23:49] <bazhang> szeck, why is that important
[23:49] <afallenhope> does the ubuntu shiretoko use the same plugins and stuff or do I have to re-install flash support?
[23:49] <bambam_> I think PATH=SDA/SAD:$PATH command should do it
[23:49] <sebsebseb> afallenhope: it's similar to the proper one
[23:49] <prince_jammys> bambam_: add that line to ~/.profile
[23:49] <bazhang> afallenhope, same, though some do not work as it is so new
[23:49] <Eevee> bambam_: if you just want to run a script from the current directory, just do ./script.sh
[23:49] <sebsebseb> afallenhope: so  Flash and plugins will work
[23:50] <afallenhope> it still says I'm using 3.0
[23:50] <naxa> sebsebseb, ok, then I'll wait 'til 9.10
[23:50] <bambam_> Eevee: really ?
[23:50] <dsdeiz> i'm getting this error: Prototype mismatch: sub main::__LONG_MAX__ () vs none at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/_h2ph_pre.ph line 291.
[23:50] <sebsebseb> naxa: and when waiting for 9.10 what will you do?
[23:50] <szeck> bazhang is not important
[23:50] <Eevee> bambam_: yeah.  the shell only checks $PATH if you don't give a pathname.  ./ is a path, so it will run the script just fine
[23:51] <sebsebseb> afallenhope: yes 3.0 series will still be installed unless you removed it yourself,  you will have 3.5  as shiretoko
[23:51] <SeaPhor|game> I lost all audio on my system, been up and working for 2+ years now, Ubuntu 8.04, any and all help appreciated
[23:51] <rafaelinux> Buenas x]
[23:51] <naxa> I'm a bit afraid, however, that on this old card, nothing will improve. it is annoying for me since on windows I can even play 3d games with it, even if it's old. I would like to say that in linux it works even better, but actually it has this issue. i hope there will be some improvement!
[23:51] <Darkebrz> Okay, I still need help with Java, simply enough it does not work with minecraft.net/play.jsp, and so far nobody has been able to fix it (they have all had it working easily though.) Can someone please help?
[23:51] <bambam_> prince_jammys: Eevee : Thanks guys ! your solution works, especially running the script with ./ is really easy way which I didnt knew !
[23:51] <sebsebseb> naxa: ah ha I see it's also an old card
[23:51] <sahil> try fix broke coommend
[23:51] <prince_jammys> bambam_: if you are writing scripts, it's easier to add your script dir to your PATH
[23:51] <sebsebseb> naxa: 9.10 might not be the magical fix for your card
[23:52] <bambam_> prince_jammys & Eevee: Have nice day, thanks and bye
[23:52] <prince_jammys> welcome
[23:52] <Eevee> buba1_home: sure, np
[23:52] <Eevee> er bambam_*
[23:52] <sebsebseb> naxa: your card will probably work better in 8.10 though,  and also rather well in 8.04 the long term support
[23:52] <Eevee> tab-complete is not loving me today
[23:52] <Prohibited> [Ubuntu 8.10] I installed Partition Manager and when I try to boot using it, I get "Error 23: Error parsing number"
[23:53] <naxa> sebsebseb, I am taking may long way journey to make ubuntu work my way. I have couple of things what i think needs to be done, but i'm using gnome mainly, so i decided to try kde more seriously (i always switched back to gnome in the past years couse i cant get used to kde) and e17. but kde is too slow, however promising, and e17 has some other problems which i might be able to solve (not hardware related)
[23:53] <sebsebseb> naxa: 8.04 has a rather different version of Xorg than what 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10 development versions,  have,   and so it seems that for some of the older cards and such,  the older xorg in 8.04 will be much better
[23:53] <Prohibited> [Ubuntu 8.10] I installed Partition Manager and when I try to boot using it, I get "Error 23: Error parsing number"
[23:54] <darkham> i need help with transcode
[23:54] <Darkebrz> Okay, I still need help with Java, simply enough it does not work with minecraft.net/play.jsp, and so far nobody has been able to fix it (they have all had it working easily though.) Can someone please help?
[23:54] <sebsebseb> naxa: KDE is slow hmm, how much RAM?
[23:54] <uni4dfx> what's up with launchpad? it won't let me report bugs... redirects to wiki
[23:54] <darkham> how can i choose an audio stream and the bitrate of the output file?
[23:54] <zebastian> !lxde
[23:54] <zebastian> !LXDE
[23:54] <zebastian> hm
[23:54] <prince_jammys> go to their site/irc channel, if they have one.
[23:54] <sebsebseb> naxa: maybe KDE 3 would be better, on that computer, than KDE4, and 8.04 has full support for it from the repo
[23:55] <sebsebseb> !fishing |  zebastian
[23:55] <Dannyboy> !fish
[23:55] <zzzzzZZZZzzz> Dannyboy just caught a 27kg Old Tire
[23:55] <naxa> sebsebseb, maybe it is true. however i "noticed" another problem. i use both windows and ubuntu, but for a half year, i have very serious problem with ubuntu with this card, it simply didn't worked, only show black screen in 9/10 cases. finally i found out that i have to set more memory for it in bios. but i don't understand why was this a case in ubuntu and why could windows live with it? i am very curious, really
[23:55] <zebastian> what's the command to get lxde?
[23:55] <zebastian> i know it's available from the repos
[23:55] <naxa> sebsebseb, yeah, ram is also an issue. i think i have 512 mb of ram only. how can i check? :) maybe it's just 256 :D
[23:55] <zebastian> i tried sudo aptitude install lxde-desktop and it didn't work
[23:56] <bazhang> zebastian, just lxde
[23:56] <sebsebseb> naxa: free -m  and there are some other commands to check for RAM
[23:56] <sebsebseb> naxa: Do you have a SWAP?
[23:56] <sebsebseb> naxa: If so how big is it?
[23:56] <kandjar> heya! what's the best way to mount a remote fs from a ubuntu server to a ubuntu desktop?
[23:57] <MenZa> kandjar: I suggest sshfs
[23:57] <Prohibited> [Ubuntu 8.10] I installed Partition Manager and when I try to boot using it, I get "Error 23: Error parsing number"
[23:57] <MenZa> !sshfs | kandjar
[23:57] <zvacet> zebastian : why don´t you install it from synaptic
[23:57] <kandjar> current i m using sshfs; works nice; but I don't need such encryption in my lan :) i would be happy with faster transfer :)
[23:57] <kandjar> MenZa: :)
[23:57] <prince_jammys> zebastian: what is your ubuntu release?
[23:57] <MenZa> kandjar: sshfs is my personal suggestion; it runs snappy enough for me.
[23:57] <Darkebrz> Okay, I still need help with Java, simply enough it does not work with minecraft.net/play.jsp, and so far nobody has been able to fix it (they have all had it working easily though.) Can someone please help?
[23:57] <zebastian> what does packages cannot be authenticated mean?=
[23:58] <zvacet> zebastian :sudo aptitude install lxde
[23:58] <Prohibited> [Ubuntu 8.10] I installed Partition Manager and when I try to boot using it, I get "Error 23: Error parsing number"
[23:58] <zebastian> hmm
[23:58] <zebastian> it says it's done
[23:58] <zebastian> that was quite fast, i hope all of the files from before got erased, i don't want it to have the same settings as before
[23:58] <Eevee> kandjar: sshfs is pretty much the best I've seen.  you could try -C to enable ssh compression
[23:58] <zebastian> i just deinstalled it to install it from scratch
[23:59] <zebastian> prince_jammys: hardy
[23:59] <zebastian> brb
[23:59] <naxa> sebsebseb, it says 488 total mem and 494 total swap
[23:59] <zvacet> zebastian : did you check ~/home if there is lxde folder with setings
[23:59] <prince_jammys> Prohibited: did you have to type any input?
