VCooliofearful: what command is in the shortcuts?00:00
sebsebsebJoshuaP0x1: well not right now, but on the other computer I want to give the new Opera a try for Linux :),   but  I was wondering about Flash.   Does it use the same one as Firefox, or does it have to be installed in another way?00:00
mikejetwhat's the webpage that summarizes what ubuntu's long term gnome/UI strategy is?00:01
VCooliofearful: and compare that to the one in the menu (right click the menubutton)00:01

sebsebseb!karmic |  Beastmode00:03
ubottuBeastmode: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+100:03
ubuntistasany command?00:03
Flannelubuntistas: "remove" to what extent?  The whole install? the GUI? Just xubuntu, keeping Ubuntu? or what?00:04
Beastmodeoh Vcoolio, Karmic wont have login screens? will it require me to install totally new or will i be able to upgrade keeping my existing settings?00:04
ubuntistasthe third one flannel00:04
Beastmodesorry, i just installed ubuntu about 2 weeks ago00:04
Beastmodeso im very new to this00:04
Flannelubuntistas: Er, which one was that?  You want to go back to only Ubuntu?00:05
VCoolioBeastmode: you can just upgrade, but it won't use gdm login screen but something else or at least it seems the users can't tweak it anymore00:05
ubuntistasyup00:05
Beastmodeoh00:05
Flannelubuntistas: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome  If you want anything that comes with Ubuntu, either reinstall it afterwards, or modify that line so it won't be removed00:05

ubottuwahnfrieden_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay!00:11
wahnfrieden_to replace the car management system00:11
wahnfrieden_it's a BMW00:11
wahnfrieden_are there any open source ABS projects?00:11
VCoolioThePunisher: you can switch off these messages in pidgin with enabling a plugin (do you use pidgin?)00:11
Beastmodehow come when i run update it tells me that new package 9.10 is available? so i should not install that unti october29?00:11
fearfulVCoolio, would you mind giving me the force add-on you were mention or where I can find it?00:12
ThePunisherVCoolio no00:12
Flannelwahnfrieden_: Ubuntu isn't designed to run on your car, no.00:12
wahnfrieden_Flannel: not what i asked00:12
wahnfrieden_but thanks a lot anyway00:12
wahnfrieden_im worried about turn signals00:12
wahnfrieden_if there's some gnu software to handle them00:13
ThePunisheris there in this channel translation script? my english is bad so i'm need a translator.00:13
wahnfrieden_but it's not crucial because i can always just use hand signals00:13
Flannelwahnfrieden_: All of that stuff is taken care of by specialized embedded systems,which may run linux, but not Ubuntu.00:13
zed__lol @ wahnfrieden_00:13
VCooliofearful: I'd have to check, I use the manual way: download the .xpi file, then open in archive manager, open install.rdf in texteditor and change the max version, save, let archive manager update the .xpi then open that with minefield > done.00:13
Balsaqanyone using the web janitor? i have 3 files to get rid of but it says "am i aware i may break my cpmuter" if i dump them?00:14

VCooliofearful: it will still prompt with updates, but those will not install of course, you have to repeat every time; depending on how many add-ons you use and how often they have updates you may prefer an add-on00:15
ThePunisherg2g goodbye00:16
Flannelwahnfrieden_: Again, Ubuntu isn't appropriate for your particular needs at the moment.  Please find a more appropriate channel to ask in.00:16
wahnfrieden_Flannel: what do you suggest, maybe #slackware or #gentoo ?00:16
fearfulVCoolio, ok thanks for the info again00:17
Flannelwahnfrieden_: They wouldn't be appropriate either.  You're looking for embedded linux, although I doubt many of your subsystems would use linux at all.00:17
wahnfrieden_whys that?00:18
ctmjrwahnfrieden_: ask your mechanic00:18
wahnfrieden_sorry, I dont understand00:18
wahnfrieden_ctmjr: he uses PC00:18

Samus_AranIpSe_DiXiT: I am using the latest test release of 64bit Flash here, and it works for all the sites in Firefox, doesn't work at all in Opera, and randomly crashes00:54
IpSe_DiXiTSamus_Aran: yeah but if it works for utube why wouldnt it for another site?00:54

EvelinaI have a lot of problems getting all characters to show up as the should depending on different encoding of web pages.01:01

Evelinashinystar: No, I'm not codning html, I'm getting the Terminal to show the content in the right way, but I always get strange characters because the Temrinal use utf-9 encoding but the web pages use different encodings on different sites.01:03
ryguyActionParsnip: It works fine though...01:03
ryguythank you samus01:03
shinystarEvelina: well #bash would be more helpfull, but a wget -qO- http://www.google.com/ | sed -n 's_^.*<title>\(.*\)<\/title>.*$_\1_p' could help you too xD01:03

foeySamus_Aran : Yeh ill check that out, I did go to load it up but was taking ages to load,01:11
Samus_Aranfoey: if you're in Gnome, turn on the CPU and memory monitors01:11
xiongWell, I tried KDE as an experiment; I'm sure whatever general comment I might make would be superficial. One annoying thing for me was that I could not figure out how to establish a network connection.01:11
BWARGit installs but when you try to use it it gives a socket error01:11
foeySamus_Aran : Got System monitor loaded now01:11
BWARGsaying the socket file is not there01:11

Samus_Aranfoey: if you click CPU meter, it will open up Gnome's task manager, and you can list the memory used by processes and sort it by largest to smallest01:12
ActionParsnipshinystar: you can join a nonexistant channel and it will be created and you will be the op01:12
shinystarActionParsnip: and then?01:12
BWARGi was insisted upon that it was because i was using the karmic but then i reinstalled jaunty and it happened again01:12
foeySamus_Aran : Ok thanks, just booting up the vm now01:12
Samus_AranIpSe_DiXiT: okay load up synaptic and do a search for flash plugin and see which one(s) it lists as being installed01:12
Samus_Aranfoey: by the way, how much RAM on the system, and do you have swap enabled ?01:13
BWARGit was the first thing i installed after booting ...well after updates01:13

Samus_AranIpSe_DiXiT: by the sounds of it you have not managed to install Adobe's version of Flash yet, it's using the one that comes with Ubuntu still01:21
Samus_AranIpSe_DiXiT: remove all versions of Flash and confirm that Firefox has no Flash plugin at all, by going to: about:plugins01:22
IpSe_DiXiTSamus_Aran: see that it says "If your browser allows only "trusted sites" to execute Javascript, you should add the "googleapis.com" domain to your whitelist to allow our Flash detection to work properly." that could be (Flash is correctly installed and appears in synaptic)01:22

brianVPelo: because I've been using nvidia cards for 10 years, and know the drivers01:33
IpSe_DiXiTPelo: done, nothingapparently its a totem plugin issue01:33

blackettleAny windows/Ubuntu dual booters willing to send me their grub.conf file or atleast the Windows portion of it?01:33
PeloIpSe_DiXiT, well , if I understood corectly that you need to get rid of the totem pluggin , I recommend you check in synaptic, and uninstall the totem-mozilla plugins, or whate ver it is called01:33

slaczwarefoey: ok thx, how often did this problem accure to you?01:34
PelobrianV, ok I'M a bit confused,  you install the driver using the restricted driver manager and it works, then you cange nv for nvidia and it stops working , why are you changing nv for nvidia ( or the other way aroudn)01:34

foeyslaczware : Not 100% of the time but quite frequent. Normally once it had just booted up. I could click the application button then nothing else?! Very strange.01:35
PelobrianV, I'M not making accusations, I'm just trying to understand the problem , I'm helping several ppl and doing my own stuff as well , I thought I understood your issue but clearly I don'T01:35
brianVPelo: Ubuntu has nv to begin with, right? if I install the nvidia driver with the restricted driver manager, I can't boot into X. I need to boot in recovermode, select the 'fix X graphics' or whatever link, then I can log in again01:35
brianVPelo: my apologies. I guess it's hard to judge intent across an IRC chat line01:36

foeyslaczware : No, on that machine is was a Matrox G200 card. I've had simlar issues with ATi Cards in the past tho. I've always stuck with Nvidia with Ubuntu/Linux01:37
PelobrianV, your card may not be supported with the driver you are trying to use, try to select the 173 or the 96 one01:37

Flanneltalkhouli: Backports are safe 'enough'?  They're not tested as much, because fewer people use them.  But they aren't untested.02:49
Flanneltalkhouli: Backports are only made for select programs though, so it's not like libc6 is going to get updated or anything02:50

talkhouliFlannel, Aha. So If I want only selected programs to be downloaded from backports, is there a way to do that using apt pinning?02:51

scott_ino2what it is you're trying to do04:54
jb_Docteh: but my cpu usage is low04:54
awfulwaffledoes truecrypt only run under the nautilus file manager? currently running pcmanfm and thunar didnt work either04:55
nanotubejb_: he means to say, the i/o actions are taking up a lot of the i/o bandwidth. so other stuff that needs to read stuff off the hd gets slow.04:55
Doctehjb_: run top and see what percentage is being used for "wait" while you're untarring something04:55
ksbalajinanotube, when I click screen resolution, I get error message - The X Server does not support the XRandR extension.  Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available. !04:55
jb_Docteh: k just a sec04:55
nanotubeksbalaji: well, as i recall, that stuff was really kinda beta-quality in hardy. if you want the gui display settings to work, you gotta upgrade to at least 8.10, or better yet to 9.04. otherwise... you're stuck mucking around with xorg.conf manually...04:56

Blueylegendre - how are you doing that?04:58
scott_ino2alabd, im just wondering, because i don't know if that's even possible, I don't think it is. was wondering if you had a reason/function you were trying to perform04:58
Blueyoh sorry will butt out04:58
LegendreDocteh: Bluey: again, from the system's applet for users/groups04:58
ksbalajinanotube, thanks. Since I am not a techie type, I was worried about facing problems while upgrading. That's why I stick to LTS 8.04.  But I feel now that my choices are narrowing down.04:58
LegendreBluey: by any means, do not butt out..04:59
BlueyLegendre -- I've had no issues let me try now04:59
scott_ino2alabd, certainly not possible through virtualization as its well... virtualized so it's not real so it's not actually booting the same way somethign legitimately boots04:59

neerozei need help with my wirless problem04:59
neerozehello heelo04:59
leaf-sheepksbalaji: My opinions are -- Go with 9.04 -- I'd say 8.04 LTS is excellent for businesses that does not want to upgrade their linux system every 6 months.04:59

Legendre(or modify any users, for that matter)05:00

{Onyx}Ok, this is annoying. Sound recorder recognizes my mic but Rosetta stone under wine isn't05:10
maxxistkermit: sorry new question.  xfs or zfs?05:12
=== chaky_ is now known as chaky
kermitmaxxist: i dont think zfs is a common option05:12
{Onyx}Think I'm just going to pull this x-fi card. A little better music quality isn't worth not having a microphone05:13
maxxistkermit: yeah i doesnt seem to be.  but looking at wikipedia says xfs is 64 bit.  and zfs is 128.  seems a few OS's are trying to implement.  even OSX...05:13
kermitmaxxist: xfs has been a standard part of linux for 6+ years now and does pretty much everything ext4 brags about.. you still have to go out of your way to use zfs05:15
* gartral is still running ext3due to slow p/ata drives on his ubuntu comp05:16
maxxistkermit: do you find xfs any more difficult to setup than ext3 ??  will I have to format my ext3 for xfs?  I find this to be a nice feature of ext4(no need to format)...05:17
kermitmaxxist: no, you dont do anyhting different than just picking it from the menu05:17
maxxistkermit:  ty05:17
kermitmaxxist: err. if you already HAVE ext3 system, yeah you'd have to format05:17
kermitmaxxist: i thought you meant on an install05:17
maxxistkermit: do you think the original ext4 kernel stability problems in ubuntu have been fixed?05:18
kermitmaxxist: i dont know, i dont like the way its so many years behind though, i prefer something more proven05:19
kermitmaxxist: yet that still has the featurse i want05:19
maxxistkermit agreed.05:19
thiebaudemaxxist, in 30days ubuntu 9.10 is being released with ext4 by default05:19
kermitalso i still found ext4 to be much more disk heavy than xfs in a little test of writing a bunch of different files at once05:20
maxxistthiebaude: so it must be fixed now.  at least in the next kernel...05:20
mysteriousdarrenI hope so Im looking forward to trying it out anyway.05:20
thiebaudemaxxist, i didn't think it was broke i used it in 9.0405:20
maxxistthiebaude: good to know.  thanx.05:21
thiebaudemaxxist, np05:21
flying_penguinext4 has been pretty stable for a while imo05:21
mysteriousdarrenI heard from several people there were some stability issues05:21
kermitmaxxist: xfs was made by SGI, who make high performance graphic systems for CGI effects in movies05:21
flying_penguini would choose it over xfs really05:21
thiebaudeflying_penguin, and its fast also05:21
maxxistkermit: yeah i read that on wikipedia.05:22
LaveliDeara1hlo05:22
kermiti dont know of anything ext4 does that xfs hasnt done for 6 years now05:22
flying_penguinbut changing from ext3 to somthing new would be a huge headache if you want to keep your data05:22
kermitflying_penguin: yeah not worth switching05:22
kermitmaxxist: are you switching or talking about a new install/?05:22
thiebaudehow many years has ext been around?05:22
LaveliDeara1my have issues with sound05:22
maxxistkermit: i am thinking about just switching.  there is pages that describe doing the conversion.  without formatting.05:23
mysteriousdarrenwould you be able to use say ext3 to transfer to a ext4 external hard drive and be safe?05:23
user_vigiiiiii05:23
kermitmaxxist: oh thast not worth it really05:23
maxxistkermit: why not?  would it not achieve the same in the end?05:24
flying_penguinmaxxist: the best way to do it if you really want to is offload your data, reformat, then bring it all back05:24
maxxistyeah just so much work.  plus I dont have a backup drive with enough space.05:24
LaveliDeara1I was listening music in background, and in a minute all sound goes off, I installed pulseaudio and sound was back for system sounds, but still I couldn't play music05:24
LaveliDeara1can anyone point me how to check what happened ?05:25
flying_penguinif you are stuck on a single drive the process would be to resize the current partition, create the new one, then move the data from the old partition to the new one, then resize the old partition down to 005:25
flying_penguinits not fun and there is a good chance you will lose some data anyway05:26
maxxistflying_penguin: think i will stick with ext3 for a little while.  until i can find a cheap backup solution.05:27
mysteriousdarrenwhat do u mean cheap? how much do u need? space?05:28

flying_penguiniboy1011: you need to have created the usb distro as a live environment. just installing on the usb drive like it was a harddrive probably wont work if you switch computers you boot on05:32
Raydiationthiebaude: k thx, in this case im waiting with downloading^^05:32
ajhtiredwolfflying_penguin, should work05:32
iboy1011The usb drive works on my school's computers05:32
thiebaudeRaydiation, im eagerly waiting for alot of updates then05:32
iboy1011I'll try the 'esc' button05:33
gartralflying_penguin iboy1011 it WILL if you install LiLo too the usb drive!05:33
iboy1011I'll come back if that doesn't work05:33
Axess_Denied<--------- Been reading the feeds and ubuntuforums, any issues with PulseAudio 9.0.15 in Karmic? I just had a headache getting it to run all my audio through HDMI05:33
ajhtiredwolfiboy1011, try what i said, when your computer turns on look fo rsomething that says "press this key for boot options" or else when the computer starts perss the delete key to get into the bios and change the boot device to usb05:33
flying_penguingartral: personaly i can't stand lilo but i think you are right05:34
Axess_Deniedthe other option is to enter bios and change your boot priority there05:34
gartralflying_penguin: it's easier to install than GRUB205:34

wahnfriedenWHERE DO I CLICK05:40
krangI'd like something easy05:40
Axess_DeniedVBOX rules, krang05:41
KingNimrodkrang: I'd go with vbox...05:41
Flannelwahnfrieden: For what?05:41
wahnfriedenmake sure you get the non-open source VBOX05:41
wahnfriedenotherwise some features are disabled05:41
krangKingNimrod,05:41
iboy1011Hello, I'm back05:41
wahnfriedenFlannel: which buttton05:41
krangKingNimrod: What do you find is better than VMware or quemu about it?05:41
Axess_DeniedWhat are you talking about, wahnfrieden?05:41
wahnfriedenAxess_Denied: I cant read what youve said to me05:42
iboy1011The still can't boot from the usb drive with my laptop05:42
KingNimrodkrang: ease of use05:42
flying_penguinkrang: alot of ppl i know swere by vmware if you want to go full F/OSS i like zen but its not easy to configure05:42
iboy1011I still can't boot from the usb drive with my laptop05:42
wahnfriedenkrang, is that the japanese name for that new c++ compiler05:42
KingNimrodkrang: and features - 3d is good05:42
Axess_Deniedkrang: I also like that with Vbox you can boot multiple Vms and allow them each different priorities ovver your host system05:42
Axess_DeniedThank you Flannel05:43
krangHmmm, sounds like the way to go. I'm definitely not interested in high performance server virtualisation, and ease of use is big.05:43
Axess_Deniediboy: what did you try when you rebooted your laptop?05:43
krangVirtualBox it is! Thanks all!05:43
iboy1011I tried pressing 'esc' and 'f12'05:43
tehbautanyone know if theres a shortcut like ctrl+alt+[+/-] for temporary zooming of the mouse region?05:43
thiebaudeiboy1011, try f205:44
KingNimrodtehbaut: do you use compiz?05:44
iboy1011f12 didn't do anything. 'esc' only brought up some information05:44
{Onyx}Cool got everything working great with speakers running through my x-fi card and mic through onboard05:44
Axess_DeniedWhy don't we give him the URL to the HP Pavillion BIOS walkthrough?05:44
Axess_DeniedThat might be a better idea...05:44
{Onyx}What was the question?05:44
cvandykeHi all05:44
{Onyx}I know HP BIOS well05:44
KingNimrodtehbaut: if you do there is an exellent zoom feature05:44
cvandykedoes anyone here have experience loading tclkit in 9.04?05:44
thiebaude{Onyx}, what is the f-key to enter bios setup?05:45
{Onyx}f-1005:45
thiebaudeiboy1011, f1005:45
{Onyx}f-9 when inside to load setup defaults and f-10 again to exit saving05:45
tehbautKingNimrod: how cpu/gpu intensive is it?05:45
KingNimrodtehbaut: not very AFAIK05:46
tehbautI'm running an Intel Atom/Nvidia Ion05:46
Axess_Deniediboy: try this URL http://www2.mustek.com/support/techdocs/bios.html05:46
Axess_Deniedthis should tell you how to enter bios05:46
tehbautapt-get install compiz then?05:46
flying_penguintehbaut: compiz is pretty cumbersom imo05:47
{Onyx}O yeah, iboy. You have to start tapping f-10 as soon as you hit the power button or you'll miss it05:47
Axess_Deniedyou need to change your boot priority from CD-Rom or Hard Drive as the first option to USB or External Drive05:47
flying_penguinand (mostly) useless05:47
tehbautbtw, half of these screensavers run at poor framerates05:47
tehbautis that normal?05:47
{Onyx}If you're still not able to hit it hit the power button and then hold down f-10 until it starts beeping like crazy05:47
Axess_DeniedGuys the HP BIOS is listed as F1, not F2, or F10 or Fme05:47
{Onyx}I'd trust me over what you're reading.05:47
iboy1011The link is not working for me05:48
Axess_DeniedWhy?05:48
botuxhey guys im getting an error when i try to update packages by clicking the red arrow at the top of the screen can you assist05:48
* {Onyx} spends 8 hours a day dealing with HP computers. 05:48
Axess_Deniediboy: at the blue splash screen, where it says HP, try pressing F1 a few times, if that doesn't work try F10 (but you need to do this before the computer begins the OS boot cycle)05:49
Axess_DeniedOnyx: I'm sorry for you05:49
iboy1011Ok, I'll come back when that doesn't work05:49
{Onyx}Me too.05:49
Axess_DeniedI spent about 8 hours a day messing with Tor and Privaxy... then I gave up because I see no use05:50
botuxhey guys im getting an error when i try to update packages by clikcing the red down arrow at the top of the screen05:51
Axess_DeniedHey botux: what error are you getting?05:51
cvandykedoes anyone here have any experience with tclkit?05:51
{Onyx}They had an opening for support positions directly working for HP and making like 15k a year more than I do now.05:51
Axess_DeniedDid you take it?05:51
{Onyx}But I would have to move to Arkansas05:51
Axess_DeniedArkansas!?! Gee golly...05:52
Axess_DeniedHey, they do have some NICE hot springs05:52
cvandykeraise plus lower cost of living... wow05:52
{Onyx}Yeah, they've figured out us Midwesterners are as exploitable as Indians05:52
Don_MiguelI liked Arkansas05:52
Axess_Deniedin this 'economic climate'05:52
tehbautis vnc built in? I only see remote desktop...05:52
Axess_DeniedWhere are you now?05:52
{Onyx}Missouri05:52
Axess_DeniedI lived in STL05:52
=== bullgard is now known as bullgard4
{Onyx}When I move I'm going back to a major metro area, not another redneck state05:53
cvandykeyeah, I work for an indian company (not indian)05:53
Axess_DeniedI am in DC now!05:53
cvandyke<Texas05:53
{Onyx}I'd love to move to DC05:53
cvandykeyee haw and all that05:53

{Onyx}I'd get my A+ certs and crap but I'd just be more overqualified for my current job.05:53
Axess_Deniedyessir05:53

cvandykeI left TCS in January05:54
FlannelHey guys, you mind moving the non-support conversations to #ubuntu-offtopic? Thanks05:54

{Onyx}I need to head to bed anyway. Have to be up for work in 6 hours.05:55
shentinoAnyone have problem with the numpad while using a PS/2 keyboard?05:55
{Onyx}Do you have numlock enabled?05:55
shentinoyes05:55
{Onyx}I'm using PS2 keyboard just fine.05:55
Axess_DeniedWhat is your mouse using?05:56
shentinoI installed jaunty while I had a USB keyboard.  When it bit the dust I started using a PS/205:56
shentinoMouse is on USB05:56
shentinothe numpad only works at the login screen, then stops working05:56
botuxAxess_Denied its rather large should i use pastebin?05:56
flying_penguinshentino: i once spilled mt dew all over mine but i never found the config file that could fix that05:56
Axess_Deniedbotux: does it give you a general description?05:57
{Onyx}What a horrible waste of caffeine05:57
shentinothey keys are physically intact, since I can type numbers in at the login screen.  But that part of the keyboard goes dumb right after that.05:57
{Onyx}Did you check your keyboard layout?05:57
flying_penguin{Onyx}: It was an orange one too. I was sad05:57
botuxkinda i cnat understand it05:57
Axess_DeniedHave youtried toggling the numlock just to refresh after login?05:57
gartralshentino: hit NumLock...05:57
shentinoAx:  Yes05:57
shentinogar:  did that already05:57
shentinonumlock off and the "arrow" keys do diddly05:58
gartral!tab | shentino05:58
ubottushentino: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.05:58
botuxAxess_Denied well its acting like it might work now lol05:58
shentinonumlock on and the numbers do squat05:58
shentinoonyx:  let me double check...05:58
shentinoThe keyboard layout is an exact match...even right down to the vendor and style.05:58
Axess_Deniedbotux: always remeber to use ':-$ sudo' for apt-get and make sure you do upgrades as a user with those permissions or use fakeroot05:59
{Onyx}Try w/o the mouse connected?05:59
flying_penguinshentino: the kernel is pretty good at handeling keyboards now-a-days the problem is probably that it is broken but new keyboard are pretty cheap05:59
{Onyx}Na, his keyboard works at the login06:00
Axess_Deniedflying-penguin: he says it works in login screen?06:00
Axess_DeniedIt may be a driver issue.... Have you checked your config?06:00
shentinoYeah, where it prompts me fur username and password06:00
flying_penguinshentino: the numlock works at login?06:00
flying_penguinor numpad06:00
shentinoAxess_Denied: be more specific.  What config in particular?06:01
shentinofp:  yes06:01
shentinoI can type digits and use the numpad arrows06:01
Axess_Deniedchecking... 1moment06:01
tehbautI cannot seem to connect to my ubuntu machine via VNC06:01
flying_penguinshentino: what wm are you using?06:01
tehbautcommon issues?06:01
shentinoIt could be kernel config, keyboard layout config, something in the Xorg.conf06:01
shentinognome06:01
flying_penguinif it is gnome or kde i would guess that is messing with the configuration06:01
Axess_Deniedshentino: what distro are you using06:02
shentinojaunty06:02
{Onyx}Hmm, under keyboard prefs look and see if keyboard controls mouse is enabled06:02
shentinovanilla install from the official CD06:02
shentinoOnyx: how suspicious...the numpad moved my pointer!06:02
botuxAxess_Denied not sure where to do that once i clcik red arrow and update manager comes up06:02
shentinoOnyx:  FIXED06:03
{Onyx}Yeah, go to keyboard prefs and under mouse keys disable it06:03
flying_penguinthere should be some kind of keyboard controll in the administration section of the gnome menu. that is where i would start06:03
{Onyx}Google FTW!06:03
Axess_DeniedSystem > Preferences >Keyboard (default)06:03
shentinoThat also solves the riddle of the jittery cursor :)06:03
{Onyx}http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766789 my google-fu rocks.06:03
flying_penguinshentino: it was a wm issue then06:03
flying_penguin?06:03
shentinoI suppose06:04
shentinothe config was wrong.06:04
botuxaxess_Denied it keeps saying some of the packages couldn't be retrieved from the server06:04
shentinoThough how in tarnation that option got set in the first place is beyond me06:04
Axess_DeniedThat may happen, are you doing a distro upgrade?06:04
flying_penguinshentino: ubuntu auto-configures a lot of stuff. theres plenty of room for bugs06:05
mgmuscarihey, i have a question about resizing partitions...06:05
botuxAxess_Denied no just updating programs and apps that its telling me to update06:05
Axess_Denied...?06:05
{Onyx}mgm be sure to back up all your stuff before you mess with partitions.06:05
flying_penguinmgmuscari: im sorry06:06
mgmuscarilet's say i have my /home on a logical partition, and it's now preceded by a large block of contiguous empty space... can i resize my /home to utilize that space too?06:06
balsaqtreid to dual myself today but didnt work06:06
Axess_Deniedbotux: double check your repositories (first) allow for third party and what not06:06
mgmuscarihm06:06
botuxAxess_Denied how do it do that?06:07
mgmuscarimaybe i can put my swap there06:07
mgmuscariugh06:07
mgmuscarithese being logical partitions doesn't help06:07
flying_penguinmgmuscari: you should be able to resize a logical partition into freespace wherever it is06:07
LegendreHey, I have a question.. Why was the Klansman wearing a pink robe?06:07
mgmuscariit probably isn't safe to unmount /home...06:07
mgmuscarii guess i'll have to use a live cd or something06:08
kermitif it lets you, it's safe06:08
Axess_Deniednah, I wouldn't06:08
Legendrehe forgot to separate his whites from his colors.06:08
kermitit wouldnt let you if you were using it06:08
flying_penguinLegendre: he probably washed it in the same load with his confederate flag06:08
mgmuscarihm06:08
mgmuscaribrb06:08
botuxAxess_Denied how do i do that06:08
Axess_DeniedWell, in gdm he would be using it, right?06:08
Legendreflying_penguin: almost06:08

Axess_DeniedDid you create a bootable USB drive in your other OS?06:12
iboy1011When I see some options on the bottom of the screen like esc = information, f1 =...06:12
Axess_DeniedThe USB drive has to be configured with the iso to allow it to autorun from BIOS06:12

Axess_DeniedDid you just drag and drop or did you create a bootable version?06:13
iboy1011I created a bootable version06:13

iboy1011I don't remember seeing that option06:14
{Onyx}It's in there.06:14
Axess_DeniedUnder BOOT or BOOT PRIORITY on the top of the screen (usually)06:14
iboy1011Ok, I'll try to find it.06:16
flying_penguiniboy1011: some kernels wont boot from a live cd/usb on certain computers. try a different distro (Knoppix is my favorite for live environment) and see if that works06:16

pipegeekdarksmac, as a sidenote, it makes it less confusing to manage multiple simultaneous screen sessions if you name them.  That is, you can create a screen session with "screen -S someSessionName" and then connect to it later with "screen -x someSessionName"07:03

kisukejyxt i ran it on win vista 32 havent gotten my good PC back from shop to up grade to ubuntu, i'll try and help though07:19
pipegeekmgmuscari, should have mentioned it earlier, but if all you want to do is play around with dsl, it might be easier and more convenient to use the KVM virtual machine07:19
flying_penguinJyxt: had that problem befor. it took a bit of work to get it running07:19
Jyxtkisuke: all the googling ive done tells me to simply change the drop down in audicty to my sound source...but i *have no* drop down for the audacity mixer07:19

pipegeekI've had good luck with it in jaunty, even though it's still under heavy development07:19
flying_penguincheck the volume and system mixer07:19
Jyxtbut i can hear the sounde source just fine...its playing now07:19
pipegeekthat way, no need for a dedicated partition or to reboot07:19
inertialalbertxiaoyu: what is your target architecture?07:20
flying_penguinmake sure audacity is reading the proper channel and is not muting the input07:20
mgmuscarimeh, i don't remember how to get the uuid and stuff07:20
Flannelmgmuscari: sudo blkid07:21
Jyxtflying_penguin: how do i do that...theres no option for input?...in preferencs i can set the playback/recording devices...ive cycled thru all the recording devices, still no drop down for the mixer07:21
kisukejyxt sounds like a config problem, are you useing asla?07:21
Jyxtkisuke: yes07:21
mgmuscarilol oh, i see07:21
mgmuscarisince i wrote block data to that partition...07:21
flying_penguinJyxt: i dont remember exactly you just need to search through the audacity settings07:21
pipegeekchanges the uuid, ja :)07:21
ashok__i want a website 2 download upuntu thems and games will any one help me out07:22
mgmuscariinstead of a UUID, it has LABEL="KNOPPIX" TYPE="iso9660"07:22
mgmuscarican i point grub at that?07:22
flying_penguinJyxt: also if you are useing pulse audio i would suggest un-installing it and useing alsa instead07:22
mgmuscariO_o i've never come up against pointing it at an iso imaged partition before...07:22
prince_jammys!themes > ashok__07:22
ubottuashok__, please see my private message07:22
pipegeekyou can also point grub just at (hd0,4) or whatever07:22
Boohbahflying_penguin: funny that ubuntu has been pushing pulseaudio for the last year but it hasn't worked for anyone ever07:23
ashok__i want a link07:23
mgmuscaripipegeek: do i have to set the boot flag on that partition then?07:23
prince_jammysashok__: ubottu sent you links.07:23
flying_penguinBoohbah: its getting better but its still not what i would call stable software07:23
pipegeekno, shouldn't have to.  That said, I didn't realize it was an iso image---I'm not sure if it will load properly out of a hdd partition.  I thought this was a flash image07:24
flying_penguinBoohbah: i expect that kind of thing from fedora but ubuntu?07:24
pipegeekI mean, try it07:24
mgmuscariyeah, i didn't think it'd be a cd iso either07:24
mgmuscariweird07:24
kisukejyxt one min google is being slow07:24
mgmuscarii guess i'll use rootnoverify07:25
pipegeekbut if you just want to run the thing in a vm, "kvm -d path/to/iso -boot d"07:25
pipegeekcool07:25
mgmuscarii forget how to get the grub hard disk index07:25
mgmuscarilike (hd0,0)07:25

mgmuscarithanks07:25
pipegeeknp07:25
elxtogatoxhello.... somebody that can help me07:26
mgmuscariwell, that gave me (hd0) /dev/sda, of course... but i have a lot of partitions07:26
Jyxtkisuke: take your time...messing around with JACK to see if that helps07:26
mgmuscarisay i have sda7, would that always be (hd0,6)?07:26
pipegeek /dev/sda1 should translate to (hd0,0) if I'm not mistaken07:26
pipegeekyeah07:26
mgmuscarii'll try it..07:26
pipegeekkk07:26
elxtogatoxhello.. I need help :(07:26
pipegeekelxtogatox, ask your question :)07:27
elxtogatoxthanks... sorry my language... is a not perfect english07:27
mgmuscarido i need the chainloader directive?07:27
kisukejyxt help> about what is the verson of your port audio? (not sure i spelled that right)07:27
flying_penguinmgmuscari: if the hd num is higher than 4 that would mean it is a logical instead of extended partition and probably wont be 0,607:27
pempobhaloooooooooo07:27
elxtogatoxI tell you...07:27
pipegeekmgmuscari, if you want it to jump into the DSL image's bootloader, then yes07:27
mgmuscariyeah it's a logical partition07:27
flying_penguinsory switch logical and extenden07:27
Jyxtkisuke: portaudio v1907:27
pipegeekmgmuscari, you either need a chainloader directive or to tell it where to find the kernel itself, and the latter option is not available to you here07:27
paipimentaoh man, how the hell do I edit this menu.lst file?? all I can use is cat, echo....07:28
elxtogatoxI have a motherboard Via KM400... I was find the driver to this Chipset in google but nothing...07:28
elxtogatoxand my resolution is 800x600 and this i dont' like it07:28
pipegeekpaipimenta, nano is a pretty easy-to-use text editor07:28
mgmuscaripaipimenta: do you have sed by any chance?07:28
kisukejyxt try http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Linux-specific_issues07:28

mgmuscaricat menu.lst | sed s/replacethis/withsomething/ > menu.lst07:29
mgmuscari:p07:29
paipimentaso I'm in a minimal prompt07:29
flying_penguinpaipimenta: nano is easy vim is good and if you don't know exactly what you are doing dont use sed07:29
elxtogatoxin last days... i was modifing the xorg.conf but ... my pc dead xD07:29
paipimentanice!07:29
mgmuscariflying_penguin: very true07:29
mgmuscaripaipimenta: don't use sed07:29
pipegeekvim is *lovely* but a pain in the ass to learn07:29
elxtogatoxpipegeek you talk spanish??07:29
paipimentacat menu.lst | sed s/lv_root/lvroot/ > menu.lst07:29
Jyxtkisuke: hrm...all i really want to do is digitize my record colletion..make em mp3's, heard from someone else that audacity is teh easiest way to do this07:30
prince_jammysnice way of probably truncating the file07:30
paipimentayeah.... the vim learning curve is gradually flattening out finally07:30
elxtogatoxpaipimenta you talk spanish?07:30
pipegeekun poquito.  Pero hay un canal en espanol07:30
Jyxtbut its turning out *not* to be the easiest way, know of another solution that can record from line-inand save as mp3?07:30
pipegeekun momento07:30
paipimentatruncate? great...07:30
mgmuscaripaipimenta: that would replace the first instance of lv_root on a line with lvroot07:30
elxtogatoxcan you tell me that channel :)07:30
darksmacnano for me07:30
Jyxtkisuke: thanks for the link though...will look into it07:30
paipimentayeah, but this is Portuguese07:30
prince_jammysnah, it would likely truncate the file to zero bytes.07:30
paipimentabrazilian wife07:31
kisukejyxt it is i've done it, do you have pulse audio?07:31
pipegeekelxtogatox, #ubuntu-es :)07:31

elxtogatoxthanks :)07:31
pipegeeknp07:31
flying_penguindarksmac: if you are going to be a serious terminal juckie you will switch to vim eventualy07:31
Jyxtkisuke: i had it, just uninstalled it per flying_penguin's recommendation07:31
Jyxtthink it was him07:31
darksmacflying_penguin: damn  so confusing07:31
paipimentamgmuscari: what's wrong with that?07:32
manoi want a website 2 download upuntu thems and games07:32
kisukejyxt have you tryed disableing systemsounds in gnome?07:32
paipimentaI just need to change the kernel root= names for the root logical volume I changed07:32
manowill any one help me out07:32
darksmacflying_penguin: can you print file from command line took me about a 1000000 hrs to set up printer but i still dont know how to use07:32
prince_jammyspaipimenta: open the file with a text editor and edit them.07:32
mgmuscarii'm going to see if my mad experiment worked...07:32
mgmuscaribe back in a few07:32
pipegeekdarksmac, "vimtutor" is a good jumping off point07:32
pipegeekjust type that at the command line07:32
darksmaccool07:32
pipegeekmost important thing to know: you quit by typing ":q<enter>"07:33
pipegeek;)07:33
manoi want any link 2 download upuntu thems07:33
kfizzQuick Q: How can I grep only files, aka ignore all directories?07:33
flying_penguindarksmac: i havent delt with that much myself but i would start by reading about cups (common unix printing system) and look for a good comand line controller for that07:33
kisukemano look in synaptc for themes07:33
darksmacthank you very much07:33
pipegeekflying_penguin, just type "lpr filename.ps"07:34
pipegeekif you have cups-bsd installed07:34
manothen for games07:34
pipegeekerr, darksmac07:34
kisuke!themes > kisuke07:34
ubottukisuke, please see my private message07:34
darksmacooo ok07:35
darksmaccan i print man files07:35
paipimentaprince_jammys: oh wow man, why didn't I think of that???07:35
DigitalKiwiyeah07:35
pipegeekwell, you probably want to either convert them to plaintext first or to postscript07:35
pipegeekand there's doubtless an easy way to do that07:35
pipegeekhold on07:35
paipimentatoo bad I'm in recovery mode and I have no editor07:35
darksmacand just so you know im stuck in vim07:35
darksmachah07:35
prince_jammyspaipimenta: beats me. sounds like a good idea.07:35
darksmaci lol at myself07:35
paipimentanot even ed07:35
kfizzQuick Q: How can I grep only files, aka ignore all directories?07:36
pipegeekdarksmac: check it out: "man foo | lpr"07:36
prince_jammyspaipimenta: you're in busybox?07:36
pipegeekwhere foo is the name of the man page07:36
ArkoldThossomeone got chromium with flash?07:36
paipimentathere we go, yes07:36
pipegeekI think that should work07:36
paipimentabusybox07:36
flying_penguindarksmac: esc then :q07:36
ajhtiredwolfArkoldThos, yes i have it07:36
kisukemano see my last message also try google "linux games" (without the quotes) that should give you a couple starting points07:36
prince_jammyspaipimenta: if you use the sed command, use a temp file.07:36
pipegeekif it doesn't, then try "lpr <(man foo)"07:36
flying_penguinor :q! (that will not save the file)07:36
geirhakfizz: find . -type f -exec grep "pattern" {} +07:36
DigitalKiwidarksmac: PAGER=cat man something > somethingman.txt07:36
DigitalKiwithen print it07:36
ArkoldThosajhtiredwolf, how you got it working with flash? i copy pasted the plugin in the plugins folder of chromium07:36
paipimentagoddamn Colloquy with no message history!!07:36
ArkoldThosand started it as --enable-plugins07:36
paipimenta:-(07:37
ArkoldThosbut nothing :/07:37
ajhtiredwolfArkoldThos, I had already installed flash through firefox, and using the dev build it automatically worked07:37
prince_jammyspaipimenta: sed 's/foo/bar/' menu.lst > tmp && mv tmp menu.lst # or better yet, look at the file first before moving it.07:37
andruki deleted a theme in appearance-properties but it didnt go away, even when i close and reopen appearance-properties.  how do i remove it?07:37
ajhtiredwolfArkoldThos, are you sure you are using the latest build?07:37
newabzhello..07:37
mgmuscarihmmm, it gave me something about an invalid device07:37
mgmuscarierror 12 i think07:37
newabzi need basic help for ubuntu.. who can help me..07:37
mgmuscarinewabz: ask your question07:38
paipimentacat menu.lst | sed s/lv_root/lvroot/ > temp.file07:38
kisukenewabz what do you need?07:38
prince_jammysno cat needed07:38
prince_jammysbut sure07:38
paipimentathen how do I get it to write to menu.lst, just mv temp.file menu.lst07:38
newabzi want to install ubuntu.. just downloading it..07:38
ajhtiredwolfnewabz, ask a specifical question and maybe :P07:38
darksmacstill stuck lucky im in screen07:38
paipimentawelcome home, newabz! :-D07:38
prince_jammyspaipimenta: perhaps the busybox sed can edits file in place with the -i option.07:38
newabzi wanted to know if i caould burn it on a rewritable dvd n install it. is it possible ?07:38
pipegeekpaipimenta, you can also do "sed -i 's/lv_root/lvroot/' menu.lst" if you're really daring07:38
manoi want flash games will it work on upuntu07:38
pipegeekwhich performs the changes in place07:39
ajhtiredwolfnewabz, ....yes07:39
ajhtiredwolfmano, yes07:39
mgmuscarinewabz: sure, why not?07:39
darksmacnever mind got it07:39
newabzthanks..i got some more questions.. be back in some time.. thanks07:39
ajhtiredwolfnewabz, there are extensive instructions to installing ubuntu o the main page07:39
ActionParsnip1ArkoldThos: sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins07:39
kisukenewabz yes but it will fit on a CD07:39
kfizzgeirha: I replaced "pattern" with what I'm searching for, but no results come up, though grep "pattern" does work. Am I missing something?07:39
mgmuscarinewabz: as long as you burn the iso image to disc and not the iso file you're good07:39
newabzyeah.. but its all given for cd .. nothing abt dvd has been mentioned07:39
flying_penguindarksmac: in vim press esc to make exit insert or whatever mode you are int then press : so you can issue a command and press q! to quit vim without saving any changes07:39
mgmuscarinewabz: same thing, really07:39
ActionParsnip1ArkoldThos: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-enable-flash-support-for.html07:39
kisukenewabz also before installing try in live CD mode first07:40
newabzi am new.. ..thnx07:40
flying_penguinthen enter to issue the command07:40
ajhtiredwolfnewabz, its the same thing07:40
darksmaccool i exited now im looking at vimtutor as sugested07:40
mgmuscarikisuke: newabz that's a good point07:40
kisukenewabz np we all were once07:40
geirhakfizz: Sounds like you're missing files who's content contains the pattern you're after07:40
ajhtiredwolfnot me, i was born knowing how to use linux07:40
mgmuscarinewabz: you can run it directly off the cd under windows if you want, i think, or you can boot from the cd and run it without installing it to disk07:40
flying_penguinive never used vimtutor how is it?07:40
* ActionParsnip1 was birthed mid-kernel compile07:41
kfizzSorry geirha, I'm just greping file names, not contents of files07:41
prince_jammysflying_penguin: it's a joy.07:41
paipimentabrb.... making love 8-o07:41
geirhaflying_penguin: It's great, it teaches you basic vim07:41
flying_penguinbtw make sure you are using the vim-full package not the vim-tiny07:41

Mazharso when try to install it using wubi07:42
Mazharit starts downloading files07:43
pipegeekdarksmac, also, "dpkg -s vim-full" will tell you if it's there07:43

Guest85846how to enable bootlogging?07:44
ActionParsnip1Mazhar: make sure you md5 check both files to minimise issues07:44

ActionParsnip1Mazhar: you have no guaruntee those files are good at all, MD5 lets you test07:45
pipegeekGuest85846, not sure what you mean; boot messages should already be being logged to /var/log/boot.log07:45
ActionParsnip1Mazhar: if the MD5sums are different, the file is bad and needs redownloading07:46
pipegeekI lied07:46

induskermit: hmm really?07:51
kisukedoes anyone know what the channel is for wine?07:51
newabzthanks kisuke07:51
pipegeekArkoldThos, I'm using chromium with flash successfully at work.  That said, I'm using the 64-bit flash pre-alpha --- it's possible that chromium has some issue with the 64-bit wrapper around the 32-bit flash that ships with ubuntu amd6407:51
ActionParsnip1kisuke: #winehq07:51
Guest85846what does grub error 15 mean?07:51
kisukenewabz no problem07:51
kermitindus: right click on the task bar, add to panel, cpu freq thing, then click on it and change it07:51
induskermit: ok thats my home system , i try it later07:51

neil_dI have a computer, and I have forgotten what size the hdd is, is there an easy command to find out how big they are.09:40

SharpRain(for ubuntu, of course)10:23
shaigodstar, thanks for the answer... but I was hoping for something much simpler then that... since I don't want everything to open when I log in again... Konsole from KDE does this just by allowing you to actually save a session. Where gnome doesn't.10:23

cheslynwhat is tethering?10:24
godstarshai: What you are requesting is a neat feature. I'm sure a script could be created to meet your requirement.10:24
anselmIn the table with the list of the partitions you should read in the first filed /dev/sda3 or sda3.10:25
cipriasharpRain: "download them all" as firefox plugin10:25
DJonescheslyn: in respect of a mobile phone? Its where you connect a computer to your phone by cable/bluetooth so that your phone acts at the modem/router giving your computer access to the internet10:26
shaigodstar, really? is this like the first time this was brought up? Konsole has been doing this for a long time.10:26
pcbugfixeranselm: missed the ..... later you will need this number to install the bootloader to this partition. - what or which boot loader ?  are you referring to please10:26
shaigodstar, The funny thing is, both gnome-terminal and Konsole call it "Save Sessions Profile" yet Konsole acutally does that, where I still have NO idea what gnome-terminal does with that.10:27
Jyxtcipria: isnt it actually called: DownThemAll10:27
godstarshai: Sorry not sure. I do not use KDE.10:27
cipriaJyxt: yes sorry10:27
shaigodstar, Konsole: Save Sessions Profile - Save the current set of sessions under a profile name.  Allows you to restart with the same setup and number of session windows open that you choose.10:27

pcbugfixerubottu: anselm: OK is - I use a boot manager = BootItNG so is grup installed into the Ubuntu partition ? so far we got "1. - choose manual, 2. - select the partition 3. - edit the partition - and select ext3 filesystem 4. - select "/" as mount point" - now we have to install "grubloader" so at what stage is this performed please ? and is there anything else that needs to be installed - swap ? and where and how is this done all in 1 partiti10:35
godstarshai: all I came across was: sudo su gnome-terminal --tab --tab --tab10:36

archy008I reinstalled the destop manager, alsamixer in terminal shows me all the controlls - but still on boot I have no sound settings start up... and when trying to launch them from System>Preferences>sound - nothing happens only an error tells me that it was not possible t launch the gnome-settings-daemon... and something about possible problems with Bonobo.. or that some other non-gnome settings manager (as kde) might interfere...10:42

indusActionParsnip1: writing what to xorg?11:06
SharpRainHello?11:07
elvtars198411:07
ActionParsnip1indus: if you write the settings it will be the resolution of the loading screen, login screen and hopefully will perpetuate into the session11:07
anselmpcbugfixer: But you can create a logical partition no problem. Simply delete sda3 and select locgical partition if you create the two new11:07
ActionParsnip1indus: yes, write to xorg.conf, if its ran as user this will not be allowed11:07
indusActionParsnip1: the resolution sticks if done from without sudo also, i have nvidia card11:07

RobotCowoh that website is useless. ive been to it before.11:08
ActionParsnip1indus: well his isnt so doing the same thing as he's done before wont fix it will it11:08
indusActionParsnip1: of course, i think this should not be used to edit xorg anyway, its for nvidia settings only11:08
indusActionParsnip1: nvidia-xconfig is better for this isnt it11:08
ActionParsnip1indus: it writes proper settings to xorg.conf11:08
RobotCowhow do i enable selinux in ubuntu? i have relabled the filesystem with the new policy, tried setenforce and editted the /etc/selinux/config to enable selinux and rebooted again.11:08
SockPantshi11:08
SockPantscould someone help me out with permissions and users and such11:09
ActionParsnip1indus: as far as I know that writes ok stuff but the settings will need to be written once an acceptible display has been achieved11:09
ActionParsnip1indus: otherwise they wouldnt put the button in would they...11:09
ActionParsnip1SockPants: can you expand on what you are wantioing to achieve and what is actually happening11:10
indusActionParsnip1: this tool doesnt write to xorg at all i believe, it only saves user settings for resolution if found in teh xorg file11:10
indusActionParsnip1: its like the nvidia control panel in windows11:10
ActionParsnip1indus: http://tracylogan.com/uploads/Image/nvidia-settings.png bottom right button11:11
indusActionParsnip1: if theire is no res in the xorg, it doesnt show in settings either11:11
ActionParsnip1indus: it can and may be necessary for some users11:11
SockPantsActionParsnip1: ok. i'm running a little server for experimenting with. i've set up NFS so i can access the files from my laptop. however, i usually can't edit anything i need to, for example httpd.conf or things in /var/www, so i want to set it so that nfs clients have permission to edit these files or create new ones is theres directories11:11
Ashyis there an ubuntu kernel package with xen compiled in?11:11
indusActionParsnip1: hmm thanks, didnt remember that button, so in this case, clicking on that without ssudo prompts user to enter? or says re run tool with sudo?11:12
SockPantsin the past i would simply keep chmod'ing everything 666, but i don't think thats the safest/ideal way to do it11:12
ActionParsnip1indus: the process will rn as the user, users dont have write access to xorg.conf (by default anyway) so will need to run the app with gksudo11:12
indusActionParsnip1: i dont remember exact behaviour, ill let you know tomorrow11:13
ActionParsnip1indus: sometimes the settings in the users profile will set the display up nicely but if it keeps reverting to something else then writing the settings to xorg.conf usually fixes it11:13
indusActionParsnip1: need to click on it and check this one11:13
indusActionParsnip1: yeah11:13
Myxbhi, i've made some changes to .bashrc. how do i make them actual without restarting the current terminal?11:13
llutzindus: ActionParsnip1 you can save it to a different file as user and merge it to xorg.conf later. easier to use gksudo :)11:13
ActionParsnip1Myxb: source ~/.bashrc11:13
pcbugfixeranselm: OK so I delete the partition to resize and leave room to create logical partitions - how many do I need for the ubunto installation please ? 1st = primary for  "/" then - 2nd, 3rd, 4th, how many logical for ? and what size(s) under the primary partition 3 "/"11:14

ActionParsnip1pcbugfixer: you'll need about 5Gb for /, 8Gb for swap (or at LEAST 4Gb) and the rest for /home11:21

indusActionParsnip1: 8 gb for swap??11:22

ActionParsnip1indus: 2xRAM11:22
SockPantshibernate files are stored in swap?11:23

hanshenrikjust made a new folder, and activated "sharing", how can i access that shared folder from an other ubuntu pc?11:43
neil_dpcbugfixer: you put in a small extra drive and make it the swap, or use fdisk or something to remove pt3 and make the space 1 big partition for / and a smaller swap.11:44
rexNebularI'm using ext4 with Seagate SATA2  drive, mostly files around 50-4700mb in size.11:44
neil_dpcbugfixer: I think it can be done via the installer using the manual setup option.   I would be tempted to do it before hand though.11:45

neil_dpcbugfixer: oh! that is a lot.   so you need to edit the partition table.11:49
jmkgreenHi - we're running a dapper server here and dist-upgraded. Went from 2.6.15-26-386 to 2.6.15-54-386. Problem is that the newer kernel hangs at 'Uncompressing kernel' yet the older kernel works fine.11:51
jmkgreenAny ideas?11:51

incorrectjrib, if you do export CC=4.2 you get sanity check failures11:52
jribincorrect: you provide a valid path (i.e. gcc-4.2) to gcc, not a number11:52
neil_dpcbugfixer: do you need help doing that?11:53
incorrectjrib, /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 and CPP to /usr/bin/g++-4.211:53
jribincorrect: if that's what you want11:53
pcbugfixerneil_d: I need to rethink all this - my other systems - sys4 boots into XP Pro sp3,  Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 Ultimate / sys2 boots Win95b, Win ME and Win 200 sp4 / system 3 boots XP Pro sp3 and I am trying to install Server 2008 and Ubuntu - with Ubuntu giving me more grieve than any other installations including the 2 Power MAC's I have.11:54

neil_dpcbugfixer: I notice that all your other systems are windows based.  It is just that the disk you are trying to use at present doesn't allow for any more partitions.11:56

graingertKryo1, your computer beeps when you make a typo12:00
cheater99like say in gedit when i have two files open and want to switch between them12:00
graingertcheater99, depends what software you are using12:00
cheater99really? that's terrible12:00

cheater99ActionParsnip1, that just brings up the alt-tab menu but it cycles it the other way around12:01
Kryo1sorry graingert12:01
ActionParsnip1cheater99: there is no agreed standard for that shortcut so apps are free to use what they wish12:01

jribhanshenrik: what os are you connecting with?12:02
pcbugfixerneil_d: yup the standard for windows is 4 - I know all that - also in BootItNG I can choose to use more - this however means that I am then restricted to using the BootItNG partition utility which I do not want to use and prefer to use PartitonMagic 8.05 for all such work in that this I can use on my and my customers PC's and pre-partition the 320, 500 and 1000 MB HDD's prior to loading (Installing) them on new PC Stations and installing t12:02
graingertcheater99, what standards?12:02
hanshenrikjrib: from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.0412:03
graingertcheater99, I don't think we have those things round here12:03
cheater99graingert, i'm not sure what you mean.12:03
ActionParsnip1cheater99: try it is all I can say, firefox has a key for it too and even a 3D tab switcher like the window switcher in Vista12:03
jribhanshenrik: there should be some sort of "network locations" entry in your Places menu12:03
graingertcheater99, standards...12:03
cheater99great12:03

ActionParsnip1ashok_: a lot of apps you will come across are in the repos12:06
canbraisive been trying to download ubuntu 9 and well ..12:06
cheater99graingert, so why not have the left click do a different thing in every application? say let's have it bring up the context menu in firefox, let's have it select (but not open) files in nautilus, let's have it select and open files in another file browser, and let's have it turn on the scroll tool in gvim - what do you think?12:06
cheater99is that mechadiverse enough for you?12:06
jribhanshenrik: no problem, there are command line clients (smbclient) and you can do "smb://server/share" in nautilus's location bar as well12:06
graingertcheater99, you have the source code12:06
graingertcheater99, you can make it do whatever you like12:06
cheater99but it's not mechadiverse right now12:06

maurohi guys, does anyone know how to gzip all files and directories in one gzip file?12:37
zirodaychris8: I can imagine. What you need to do is backup your /home/<username> folder to an external drive. Upon reinstall create a new user with the same name and copy that folder back across (including hidden folders) and you're documents and settings should be preserved12:38
zirodaychris8: that and head over to synaptic and get a package list, so you can load that in next install. Or you may want to start fresh12:38
=== Ricky_ is now known as Guest18793

=== mauro is now known as mauro_
chris8Ziroday: i did a full OS upgrade from intrepid to jaunty online w/o having to backup any local files...12:41
zirodaychris8: no, no. You copy across your /home/username folder and a package *list* to your external drive. Then you install jaunty and copy your /home/username folder back into your new install and load up the package list. That way your settings and documents and installed programs will all be saved12:41
mcmlxxiziroday, when I try to print something, it says Unable to connect to CIFS host and NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. should I ask in #samba or what?12:41

vojacekj_ok i tried to make it with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetup14:39
cheslynguys can you reset any passwd14:39
shossmay if i installed these apps as root so (or configured the startup as root as some point) is it possible these apps keep loading because of that? and if so how do I configure that? as in which/where is the file needed to configure?14:40
Darck1hi all - I put an "undelete" function in on my system but it's not working - I created a directory in /tmp to store my files that will be undeleted but /tmp gets cleaned out - I know I could just create a different directory for the files but I want to know how I can find out where /tmp gets cleaned out14:40
puffinmanHi guys14:40
grawityDarck1: Don't use /tmp for undelete, then.14:40
erUSULcheslyn: yes you can reset any login password if you have access to the machine14:40
puffinmancan anybody tell me what time the Karmic beta is due out?14:40
Jillhi all.. ubuntu 8.04 support until 2011 or 2013?14:40
grawityDarck1: (And look at /etc/init.d/)14:40
erUSULpuffinman: ask in #ubuntu+114:40
puffinmansure14:40
puffinmanthanks14:40
vojacekj_but wehn i calibrate it and change the files and restart xubuntu the tablet is not workink14:40
Darck1yeah thanks grawit - I already said that. I did a grep in /etc/init.d for tmp but didn't find anything14:41
vojacekj_the mouse isnot moving14:41
cheslynerusul: ok but is it the only passwd that can be reset14:41
erUSULDarck1: tmp is called that TeMPorary becouse it is cleaned up in every reboot14:41
Qu4R0wi type "gloobus-preview" but got this error=NO FILE IN THE CLIPBOARD..how to make it work?14:41
CybeRebelhello, my dvd/cd drive has stoped mounting, anyone know if this is a ubuntu problem?14:41
erUSULcheslyn: what password are you talking about ?14:41
llutzDarck1: /etc/default/rcS14:42
Darck1I guess nobody understood my question. I KNOW that I can just use a different directory - and I am going to14:42
grawityDarck1: Hm. grep -R tmp /etc/rc* then?14:42
Darck1but I am trying to learn and I want to know WHY it's getting cleaned out and HOW it's getting cleaned out - ie. What process is doing it14:42
lizzzySo, I installed a couple of themes and screwed up the layout of ubuntu. How can I revert back to my original theme?14:43
erUSULDarck1: yes we understood /tmp is cleaned up on every reboot becouse it was designed that way. llutz already told you waht process (init) is doing it14:43
cheslynerusul:a administrator passwd14:43
Darck1thank you grawity14:43

eni23hello. i got a problem with my intern soundcard. nothing sounds anymore but my extern (hdsp hammerfall) is still working. firefox and vmware does play sound with rme hammerfall all the other programms are muted (i choosed the rme on ubuntu-sound-config). wtf is this??? here is my /dev/sndstat: http://pastebin.com/m1eb2d9fc14:43
grawitycheslyn: Boot to recovery mode, use 'passwd your-username-here'14:43
sheepsyThe binary driver howto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia) speaks of nvidia-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx-new available in restricted. I have restricted enabled in my software sources, but aptitude search only comes up with nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-* and nvidia-glx-*-dev14:43
erUSULcheslyn: you want to change it ? go to System>Admin>Users and groups14:43
Darck1I was too busy typing to see llutz's comment14:44
eni23how can i fix this crap?14:44

cheslyngrawity: thanks but not the user passwd14:45
grawitycheslyn: What then? The 'sudo' password?14:45
foeyAre there any guides to setting up SAMBA from the terminal, as in users, share folders e.t.c.14:45
lizzzySo, I installed a couple of themes and screwed up the layout of ubuntu. How can I revert back to my original theme?14:46
luizfelipe#fedora14:46
eni23mikinanuq: jeah, it just shows some config-options for the hdsp-soundcard14:46
cheslyngrawity: yes perhaps14:46
grawitycheslyn: But it is the same user password.14:46
eni23i control the soundcard over a programm named "hdspmixer" (alsa-stuff)14:47
gamla_kossanhi people14:47
gamla_kossanhow come the new release of ubuntu will ditch pidgin in favor of empathy?14:47
gamla_kossananyone have a clue?14:47
cheslyngrawity: ok but is that the passwd you use to login no14:47
mikinanuqlizzzy: you can recreate your profile by renaming .gnome in your home directory... if it doesn't look right just name it back.14:47
grawitycheslyn: Yes, the same.14:47
eni23mikinanuq: ok i guess normally the "hda intel" is number 0 and hdsp nummer 2. but right now it's switched14:48
eni23how can i change?14:48
Qu4R0wfrog: try iptraf14:48
mikinanuqlizzzy: all of your settings are in your home dir. just mess around with them14:48
cheslyngrawity:ok but i don't want 2 reset that passwd.ok what other passwd do you get14:49
mikinanuqeni23: I think you may be able to load the modules manually for your devices and specify on boot what you want14:50
Darck1there - I learned something. Thanks. I found that /tmp is cleaned out by bootclean.sh and I can add an exception for my undelete files directory14:50
alabdgood day everyone ,after installing nvidia-glx-180 packagehow to use nvidia driver ?14:50
lizzzymikinanuq: Will do that. Thanks.14:50
grawityDarck1: And like I said, it is better to use a separate directory, instead of mucking with init scripts.14:50
erUSULgamla_kossan: ask in #ubuntu+114:50
grawitycheslyn: There usually are only two passwords: the user password (used for administration and such), and root password (in Ubuntu, there is no password by default)14:50
gamla_kossanerUSUL: =)14:50
cheslyngrawity: so how do you change the root passwd14:51
grawitycheslyn: Do you REALLY need to do it?14:52
frogzoocheslyn: there is NO need for root access14:52
mikinanuqeni23: do an lsmod and ceck out those devices, copy the values for your hda intel and hdsp.14:52
grawitycheslyn: Because 'sudo' (or 'sudo -s') is enough for all commands.14:52
Darck1grawity: Absolutely correct. And I will. I just had to learn how it did it and how I could get around it if I needed to. But I will be using a different directory14:52
mikinanuqeni23: then   man modprobe   look at how to unload those modules and load them back in with the correct values.14:53
cheslyngrawity: i know but i really want 2 know if you can tell me please14:53
grawitycheslyn: Run 'passwd root' as root.14:53
mikinanuqeni23:  use modprobe to load the modules and if everything works fine use modules.conf to set  it permanently14:53
mikinanuqeni23: ah it's  /etc/modules  where you load your module config14:54
panopticonunless i miss my guess, firefox is using the totem-gstreamer plugin for certain media plugins?14:55
cheslyngrawity: thanks so what do you mean as root14:56
Carpe|Diemhow can I see on what device i am working? I used fdisk /dev/sda but how can i see on what device i am?14:58

Carpe|Diemyou see14:59
Carpe|Diemi have a windows installation and a ubuntu installation14:59
Carpe|Diemalso, i have a windows 7 installation14:59
mikinanuqcheslyn: you can  sudo passwd root  and change the root password. or do  sudo su -  and then when your in your command as root run passwd14:59
Carpe|Diembut this ubuntu does not use c: or d:14:59
Carpe|Diemso i need to know what partition to format, since i will switch to a different linux distro14:59
nomoaCarpe|Diem: run "mount" or "df" to see what partitions are in use by your system15:00
mikinanuqhmm gotta do better engrish15:00
Carpe|Diemok df worked fine15:00
Carpe|Diemits /dev/sda1 ;)15:00
Carpe|Diemty :D15:00
cheslynmikinanuq: thanks15:01
grawitymikinanuq: It's better to use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i', instead of 'sudo su'.15:01
mikinanuqnot sure what the -s or -i is for.15:02
mikinanuqnever use them15:02

mikinanuqeni23: I say it can't hurt so give it a shot15:10
kyjawere we just flooded by a bot15:10
mikinanuqeni23: also, does it assign the device ID or number in the order it's loaded or do you have to specify the number you want to give it?15:11

SingAlongdtownhero: i liked the older kde. the new one is very glossy.15:56
Halitechhackerkid1031, I don't think you can15:57
Dr_Willishackerkid1031:  i recall some guides for doing it.. but never done so.. it involves a lot of command line work.15:57
ic56jrib: I read the manpage.  Thank you for suggesting --help15:57
ic56 let me take a look.15:57
fastputtywhat is the option with Make command to use multiple thread? i forget15:57
SingAlongdtownhero: my desktop comp (3gb ram) runs gnome. i'm satisfied with it. so i dont change it :)15:57
Dr_Willishackerkid1031:  may be easier to just go get a new cd/download the iso and put it on flash15:57
duffydackshane2peru, something about vhook.... never touched it myself...15:57
crescendocognitiaclaeves: it's a bit less of a concern these days, but I am using a custom partition scheme that doesn't use a swap15:57
fastputtynvm foundi t15:57
dtownheroSingAlong, they always said they wanted to be lighter then gnome but I think they lost that mission statement somewhere :p15:57
cognitiaclaevescrescendo: That may have been why it took so long then.15:57

shane2peruduffydack: odd, for once seems I need an older version, not the newer. lol :)15:58
crescendocognitiaclaeves: mayhap, but I'd think that would only apply when I actually booted that system - the installer SHOULD use a ramdisk with my actual RAM... right?15:58

dtownheroor w/e it is called15:59
SingAlongdtownhero: nope!15:59
cognitiaclaevescrescendo: I trust that you looked up installing Ubuntu on a USB?  I think I saw a link off of the ubuntu site, somewhere.15:59

crescendocognitiaclaeves: yes, of course.15:59
thiebaudespeedhunt3r, i dont know ati, just nvidia, sorry15:59
Halitechcrescendo, xfce isn't bloated, xubuntu is bloated with everything they add to make it "easier"15:59

cognitiaclaevescrescendo: I knew a guy that was into doing this.16:00
hackerkid1031no the system wont boot from usb i tried and tryed with Unetbootin16:00
chuckySingAlong, so doesnt make any difference to my computer..just d GUI.. and i use ot from the log in screen right..?16:00
speedhunt3rthiebaude, ty amyway16:00

cognitiaclaevescrescendo: I don't think you can.16:00
SingAlongdtownhero: well i have lots of space here on my netbook. so i install window mgrs and just leave it as options and use the one i like as default. i right now have xfce, lxde and gnome on my netbook. but i screwed up my gnome while trying to remove the Ubuntu netbook remix app. so i never used gnome again16:00
Halitechhackerkid1031, do you have another system? you could try a PXE boot install16:00

jribic56: that's too old (you should upgrade since you aren't getting security updates).  In the file menu, after you open the document once, newer versions of evince allow you to "open a copy"16:04
hackerkid1031THanks btw16:04

Feldegastjohn_diss__ if you need the files to be backed up on a 2nd remote share, you will probably need to set up rsync between the 2 remote systems16:37
mayajowohalitech? wine yes16:37
mikinanuqeni23: well, IRQ problemss do happen but not very often I would think. The kernel might be trying to assign IRQ's differently than what the BIOS had and creates problems16:37

ActionParsnipodonata: when people say IDE they usually mean PATA or parallel ata17:14
odonataActionParsnip: that would mean the old big flat interface?17:14

ascheelCan someone tell me the feasibility of playing Blu-Ray discs in Ubuntu?  Not copying, not ripping, JUST playing?  Looking into a Blu-Ray drive for my Ubuntu PC, but need to know if it's feasible17:14

quantumhow can i open it?17:16
odonataActionParsnip: so the scenario of moving data from one NTFS to another NTFS would be no problem with 9.10 livecd?17:16
SingAlongmikinanuq: just trying stumpwm now.17:16
hey_joecan anyone tell me why i can't remote desktop over my VPN?17:16
mikinanuqSingAlong: in case you feel adventurous and want to update your fvwm-crystal.. there is some compiling, I thought it was just a copy but it's not bad.17:16
hey_joedo i need to allow non local connections?17:16
chuckySingAlong, sorry was busy17:16
ActionParsnipodonata: its not a problem at all17:16
SingAlongchucky: np :)17:17
ascheelstefg: so it's not just a matter of popping the Blu-Ray into the drive and hitting play.  :(17:17
mikinanuqsimulation: ah ok17:17
hey_joeit works fine at home, within the local network constraints, and i can ssh, ftp, etcc over the VPN, so why no remote desktop?17:17
chuckySingAlong, found 9 packages17:17
SingAlongchucky: done installing?17:17
odonatathank you then :D17:17
chuckyexcept lxnm i install d rest right..?what next?17:17
_AaLinuxnimrod|king: ActionParsnip: How could you be sure if it's 32bit CPU from this? http://pastebin.com/m1ec414dc17:17
chuckySingAlong, except lxnm i install d rest right..?what next?17:17
stefgodonata: if you just want a 1:1 copy you can simply use the dd command. that'S quicker than going thru the filesystem, because it just copies sector by sector on low level17:17
hey_joeodonata: but dont forget to set bs=17:18
^mNotIntelligenthi all !17:18
=== xod is now known as onats
SingAlongchucky: just click and mark lxde and it should be fine :)17:18

nOStahlhey guys i just tried booting up my ubuntu laptop and it cant mount the hard drivee. tried booting up a live cd and it wont mount the hd either.17:18
SingAlonglogout and go to session and select lxde. then go ahead17:18
stefgodonata: like sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4k17:18
nimrod|king_AaLinux: yes, it's 64bit17:18
odonatastefg, hey_joe: the source drive is a 250gb and the destination drive is a 1000gb17:18
mikinanuqnOStahl: is there anything important on that HD?17:19
nOStahlmikinanuq yes17:19
odonatawould that be a problem?17:19
chuckySingAlong, so only lxde thats it not d rest?17:19
_AaLinuxnimrod|king: How could you be sure?What was that information from there?17:19
^mNotIntelligentnOStahl, what does : sudo fdisk -l says?17:19
Chun1Hi - all of a sudden I'm without sound, in Jaunty - any advice? Everything is unmuted in volume control, and on full17:19
nOStahlwhen i mount it in the live cd ubuntu it says mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, mising codepage or helper program, or other error17:19
SingAlongchucky: yes. only lxde will do. but if it installs other pkgs go ahead. just dont install lxnm17:19
mikinanuqnOStahl: well it could be that the actual hardware broke or just the partition tables or your file system is hosed, any sudden power outage before this problem started?17:20
^mNotIntelligentChun1, make sure nothing is set to lowest level17:20
stefgodonata: ah, ok. that won't work directly, you'll end up with a 250G partition on the 1TB drive. you could only expand it later with gparted, but i think that'S to unreliable on ntfs drives17:20
mikinanuqnOStahl: any clicking from the hd?17:20
nOStahlmikinanuq its ssd17:20

Baba_B00iegrawity, the problem i had with the default telnet client in linux, i didn't know how to get it to display ansi chars and extended ascii17:56
stefgBaba_B00ie: telnet is a builtin17:56

Ido_Hello guys. I'd like to learn about Samba, or any other way to communicate Windows' home-network with Ubuntu/Xubuntu. Also I can't find where to download a version that fits Xubuntu in their website. Thanks in advance for your help.17:56
nOStahli had a power outage on ext4 setup cant boot the computer now. what do i do17:56
erUSULBaba_B00ie: maybe MUD clients are more featurefull for normal telenet too ?17:56

grawityTheCheeze: Synaptic*17:57
grawityIdo_: In most Linux distributions, software is installed through a package manager. In Ubuntu, the package name is 'samba' - use either Synaptic or apt-get.17:57

ZykoticK9Baba_B00ie, qterm is a BBS client - not sure if it supports telnet BBS though - but you could give it a shot17:58
zmaxoi17:58
grawityIdo_: Also, Ubuntu is Debian-based, so if there's no version for Ubuntu, the Debian packages usually work.17:58
Baba_B00ieZykoticK9, thanks i have tried qterm in the past w/o good luck. i'll see if i can find the latest devel and it's progress17:59
Ido_grawity: alright, thanks. Is there any info i'd need to know about Samba I won't find in the website directly? Plus, i've been told about it from the Xubuntu server though the guy who told me about it doesn't know much about the program. Can I communicate a Windows computer in my house through Network using it?17:59
mikinanuqnOStahl: you may need to boot to miniPE or puppy, not sure if puppy has data recovery tools. Try to recover what you can then reformat the ext4 in question and start over :(17:59

biznock09yeah18:00
grawityIdo_: Yes, you can use samba to connect to Windows machines -- samba is essentially a Linux implementation of SMB, the protocol Windows uses for file and printer sharing. (Also, I guess you meant the Xubuntu channel?)18:00
erUSULbiznock09: USB or serial port ?18:00
biznock09usb18:00
ZykoticK9Baba_B00ie, also you could look into adding a vga font "vga.pcf" I had much more success using it to render ANSI/ASCI with gnome-terminal.  Good luck man (old school BBSs rule!)18:00
stefgbiznock09: forget about the wondows drivers. you can't use them18:00

Ido_Anyways, thanks a lot. This package-based system looks useful.18:01
Baba_B00ieZykoticK9, heck ya man thanks18:01
erUSULbiznock09: can you do this. in a terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » then plug the modem paste the new lines that will appear on the screen18:01

Pici!netsplit19:43
ubottunetsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit19:43
grawityJoeSomebody: No. First, if you're sharing a directory over the network, you're probably going to use samba, and with it, the Windows machines totally do not care about the remote filesystem. They just see files and folders.19:43
grawityJoeSomebody: Second, NTFS is a lot more stable than FAT32.19:43
harisundSo I downloaded firefox-3.5 using apt-get install firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-gnome-support but my default browser still seems to be the ancient firefox. How do I change this behaviour?19:43

JoeSomebodyi currently have ntfs on the data drive and just havent tried to write ti it under ubuntu, i am paranoid and asking here first :)19:46
grawityJoeSomebody: The NTFS filesystem was created by Microsoft, and doesn't have any public specifications, so it's very hard to add perfect NTFS support to Linux. But what Linux has now is quite good.19:46
grawityJoeSomebody: In any case, if you're just sharing it over the network, simply use ext4 or something like that.19:46
joshua__JoeSomebody, it will be fine19:46
JoeSomebodyok, thanks :)19:46
chai_is it possible to install 32-bit gcc (version 2.7.2.3) on amd64 jaunty?19:46

Hillshumambros: I'm not exactly sure what 10/100 means (should look it up) but 10 megabits is only 1.25 megabytes...19:52
prefrontal_chai_, I got it to work. the key is that i needed to use tabs between the date specification and the user name, and between the username and the command, and the cron file needs to be in /etc/cron.d and end with a newline, and then restart cron19:52
ambroshillshum: arent network equipment rated by 10/100/1000 1000 = gigabit?19:53

ubottuP67: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)20:10
P67Well i didn't mean to be rude so i asked before i asked :p20:11
user__people, I want to learn more about Linux and programming ..20:11
user__which is the basis to start and what to learn first?20:11
skysonggoogleee20:11
fccfuser__: www.ubuntupocketguide.com good start on ubuntu ... next step are manpages20:11
mgmuscariuser__: for programming, i recommend you take some classes20:12
mgv2i have a double desktop folder that cause problem - what can i do?20:12
skysongfccf, did you actually read the pocketguides?20:12
P67Alright, here's the deal. - Ubuntu starts up with one window manager (GDM) . Though this is split among sessions, the default session is XBMC Standalone for me, though it renders the Gnome Desktop useless since it's not loaded.20:12
P67How do i go about loading both xbmc standalone and gnome on startup. Resulting on gnome on a different VTTY20:12
user__20:13
user__I've read all the ubuntu guide and already have a notion to use the terminal, move files to install repositories20:13
AaDido u know how to run Counter Strike on ubuntu plz ?20:13
mgmuscariAaDi: try wine20:13
fccfAaDi: and here http://playonlinux.com/en/20:14
user__Aadi i know20:14
fccfskysong: not in it's entirity20:14
P67Steam should run well enough on WINE.20:14
user__Aadi i can help to play CS in ubuntu20:15
AaDiuser_ ...thanks dude...i'll see what i can do here20:15
skysongi believe the best way is rather to have the os installed and start playing with it. The google as and when required.. worked for me.20:15
HillshumI have an old Unix tutorial book that helped as well, see what works for you20:16
user__I've read all the ubuntu guide and already have a notion to use the terminal, move files repositories and install all ... what my next step now?20:16
P67Your next step is to comprehend it properly enough to execute it in reality20:16
mgv2how can screen print menus?20:17
user__mas eu já o compreendo completamente....20:18
user__but I've completely understand ....20:18
Timhi mgv2, do you mean scren print the desktop or just a part of the desktop?20:18
P67If you do, why do you ask these questions user_ :)20:18
P67Sorry to barge in again. But did anyone have an answer for my multiple sessions on startup question?20:19
mgv2tim, ps menues from programs20:19
TheEvilOnedoes anyone here know how to launch emacs in command line mode20:19
TheEvilOnei can only get it to open in a GUI window20:19
user__20:20
user__well ... I wonder what I get to learn in order to help more people and have a load of programmer ... where to start20:20
PowersourceTheEvilOne, maybe there is a command-line version that you have to install20:20
Timnot sure which version you are running but this may help http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-take-a-screenshot-on-ubuntu-linux20:20
P67Perl, Bash ? I guess that's good to learn user_20:20
TheEvilOnewell there is still a specifc command that launches it in GUI or commandline mode20:20
TheEvilOnelike in VI you have to use the -g argument to launch it in a gui20:21
* genii ponders -nox20:21
TheEvilOneit launches in CLI by default20:21
grawityI'm sure emacs has --help.20:21
P67Meh20:21
* P67 barges in again :)20:21
TheEvilOneemacs laucnhes in GUI by default and I dont know the command to launch in CLI20:21
TheEvilOnethe help doesnt say20:21
user__Hmmm ... I download books on these subjects ...20:21
user__but have read some books on bash .. and what language to start?20:21
ikoniauser__: try #bash20:21
grawityuser__: Python, C, C#20:22
TheEvilOnethe -nox command still launches it in GUI20:22
P67Bash, Perl and Python is the way to go. then go to C programming.20:22
Timmgv2, any good?20:22
erUSULTheEvilOne: did you installed the emacs-nox package ?20:22
southern_i am dual booting ubuntu and windows 7. every time i boot up windows 7 after using ubuntu, the time is like 4 hours off. does anyone know whats going on?20:22
P67Yep southern, ubuntu probably isn't using UTC20:23
ikoniasouthern_: sounds like windows is not syncing the time20:23
Timsouthern, do you mean after you have corrected it is fails back agin?20:23
TheEvilOneno20:23
P67or your UTC is wrong20:23
TheEvilOnedoesnt seem necessary20:23
southern_yes i change it every time20:23
TheEvilOnein VIM if you install the GUI version you can launch both20:23
TheEvilOneseems like that would be true of emacs20:23
user__hehe ... Thank you all ... I download books and start studying now ...20:23
TheEvilOnesince the GUI is extra so to speak the CLI should be there20:23
southern_how can i make ubuntu use utc? will this fix it?20:23
* P67 is still pondering about Multiple sessions login 20:24
ikoniasouthern_: when you boot ubuntu does it have the right time ?20:24
Timsothern, you are set to the correct time zone, and the bios time is correct?20:24
user__iknoia tks20:24
southern_yes, ubuntu is always right20:24
user__grawity tks20:24
TheEvilOnethe package I installed says its emacs with "support for x" therefore it should work in both modes you would think'20:24
grawityWindows stores the local time to the hardware clock. Ubuntu probably treats it as UTC time.20:24
user__P67 tks20:24
P67If you  modified your timezone or incorrectly set it. then set the time in ubuntu or windows - It's still caching it at the BIOS.20:24
P67bb user_ :)20:24
wzzrdnullp0inter: find DIR -type f -exec cp {} OTHERDIR/. \;20:24
wzzrdor something like that20:24
Timsouthern, ???20:25
mgv2tim, in capturing menues not20:25
southern_yes windows is in the right time zone and bios is right20:26
dassoukiwhy doesn't gnome have an auto align feature for its desktops20:26
ikoniasouthern_: then it looks like windows is not syncing time when it boots up20:26
TheEvilOnei figured it out, its -nw20:26
grawityikonia: No, Windows works fine.20:26
P67It shouldn't sync time since the time should be BIOS set.20:26
ikoniagrawity: oh, I thought he said windows time was off20:26
bleh_hey all how to get rhytmbox playing a cd?20:26
ikoniaP67: windows goes to time.microsoft.com on boot up20:27
grawityWindows doesn't adjust the clock if it's more than two hours off (security reasons)20:27
P67;) Still doesn't explain why it's incorrectly set then.20:27
bleh_I get an error about CDDA20:27
ikoniaP67: my theory was bios drift/failure, ubuntu updates it, windows doesn't20:27
god_hello ubuntuans20:27
P67I never got my windows time adjusted if i installed a netBSD Distro from the early centuries20:27
Timmgv2, what about doing a video? then taking a snapshot of that, bit of a pain i know, i was sure i had done this with gimp before now20:28
ikoniagrawity: same as ntp won't, I guess it depends how far off the time is20:28
southern_windows always goes 4 hours off if this means anything20:28
j0nrevening20:28
j0nrhow can i get round this... I have three primary partitions and I am trying to create a 4th partition... it says i cant have 4 primaries so should create an extended partition... but how can i do that without loosing any of the existing partitions?20:28
P67afaik windows does use UTC :o20:28
grawityP67: Not for the hwclock.20:28
kermitif i'm mixing OS's on a system or on a filesystem, i keep Windows in UTC, otherwise things get all messed up.20:28
ikoniaj0nr: if you have 3 partitions, your 4th one should be an extended20:28
nullp0interuser__: for programming you should start with something like C/C++ in my opinion20:29
P67So mye, how do i go around starting multiple sessions on startup?20:29
j0nrikonia: but how do i create that... in the free space when i try to create 'new' it just stops me saying i cant have 4 primaries20:29

ikoniaj0nr: how are you trying to create it ?20:29
nicoooohi, i am trying to install ubuntu in a qemu environment. do i have to use the alternate cd?20:29
erUSULj0nr: and cretaing and extended parition does not affect the other paritions on the disk20:29
ikonianicoooo: nope20:29
j0nrikonia: gparted20:29
grawityikonia, P67: Windows stores the local time to hardware. (Compatibility reasons.) And at least in Arch, there is an option to make Arch treat hardware clock as either UTC or local time. For dual-boot systems (with Windows), it has to be set to "localtime". I'm sure Ubuntu has such an option somewhere.20:29

P67& it.20:31

TheEvilOnei remember reading how to do it but i forget20:31
grawityTheEvilOne: gedit &20:31
ikoniaj0nr: when you click create new partition, there is an option for "create as" the default is primary, change it to logical20:31
TheEvilOnegrawity thanks20:31
grawityTheEvilOne: Or even better,  ( gedit & ) &> /dev/null20:32
erUSULgrawity: for ubuntu is in /etc/default/rcS the option to use utc or not in hw20:32

P67Just as swell error-messages as JRE-Logs eh grawity20:33
grawityerUSUL: Ubuntu never asked me that. By the way, what is the setting set to by default?20:33
ikoniaj0nr: 3 primary partitions is not a problem. Open gparted, click on "unallocated space" with a right mouse click, and you should get an option for "create as"20:33

nostalgicBadgerhey guys, kind of a newb question here, but i installed eclipse from the package manager, had to uninstall it because it was old, downloaded the current package from the web site, unzipped it in ~/bin/packages. i tried running it using the full location, which worked fine, but i can't run it with "eclipse" because typing "eclipse" into the command line searches for 'eclipse' in /usr/bin, presumably where it was installed.20:48
j0nrno probs erUSUL. thanks for your help... and ikonia, you too.20:48
nostalgicBadgeri'm guessing i have to edit a file to get it to stop looking for eclipse there, but i'm not sure which one.20:48
MenZanostalgicBadger: try ./eclipse20:48
MenZaThat runs eclipse from your current directory.20:49
erUSULnostalgicBadger: no you have to add ~/bin/packages to your path or just make a simlink in ~/bin/ that points to ~/bin/packages/whatever20:49
nostalgicBadgerthat works, but how would i change it so eclipse launches the file from anywhere?20:49
=== ubuntu__ is now known as CaRSi
erUSULnostalgicBadger: as ~/bin/ is included in path if present20:49
nostalgicBadgeri guess, more importantly, for general use, is there something i can edit that lets me point commands to files? so 'eclipse' > /path/to/file20:50
VCoolionostalgicBadger: type $PATH  in terminal to see what folders are searched when you type a command; either add a folder in your home dir to path, or create a .desktop launcher in of those folders20:50

bikedude880So, I've tried a few methods of keeping the Update Notifier from displaying at boot (both through gconf and verifying it with gconf-editor) and it /still/ loads.  Is there any other place I can change this setting?  I'm just looking to keep the Update Manager from stealing focus.22:21
lenswipeWanHouse: someone told me to do something which needed a gui, i dont have gui access so i couldnt do it :)22:21
seilstlsaint pidgin doesnt have webcam22:21
robbmunsonmgmuscari, probably because 9.04 uses a different FS altogether? (cant remember if 9.04 is the one with ext4)22:21
mgmuscarilenswipe: ostensibly it should leave everything in place, but if your system is similar to mine at all the ati drivers will crap out on you until you do a fresh installation of ubuntu and install fglrx manually22:21
mgmuscarirobbmunson: 9.04 has ext4 support but i don't think you have to use it...22:21

lstarnessburwood: ubuntu makes a new release approximately every 6 months22:22
lenswipewhen they get to P in the ubuntu releases they should do "pervy penguin"22:22
WanHouselenswipe: The term "Cant use a gui" could be more revealing, perhaps. (cat /etc/ubuntu/fedora/debian/etc/-release)22:22

JoshDreamlandIf you have a MouseMan+ on the PS/2 port you probably want to use mhub with XFree servers too, because XFree (all versions up to 3.3.3.1) parses the wheel data incorrectly. You can see this when you roll the wheel fast - the directions will then be reversed causing applications to scroll backwards. IntelliMouse data is however interpreted correctly, and this is where mhub is useful.23:22
