[00:00] <Beastmode> how can i install new login screens for ubuntu?
[00:00] <sebsebseb> JoshuaP0x1: maybe you can help me with a little something now
[00:00] <JoshuaP0x1> sure. what's up?
[00:00] <pazsion> fawk it i'll reinstal SB drivers..
[00:00] <fearful> VCoolio, after I open one window from Applicatino > Internet > Mozilla 3.6 I can run a new window from the shortcuts.
[00:00] <VCoolio> fearful: what command is in the shortcuts?
[00:00] <sebsebseb> JoshuaP0x1: 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?
[00:01] <mikejet> what's the webpage that summarizes what ubuntu's long term gnome/UI strategy is?
[00:01] <VCoolio> fearful: and compare that to the one in the menu (right click the menubutton)
[00:01] <fearful> VCoolio, firefox-3.6 %u and it matches under the menu edit one too.
[00:01] <JoshuaP0x1> Don't know. I installed it and it just worked.
[00:01] <VCoolio> fearful: ah, right
[00:01] <Beastmode> so anyone ever change their login screen?
[00:02] <VCoolio> fearful: that's just crazy, I don't know
[00:02] <fearful> VCoolio, I thought the same haha
[00:02] <Beastmode> i got one from here http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter?page=2 , but i dont know how to install it
[00:02] <pazsion> what is a patch loader?
[00:02] <VCoolio> Beastmode: yeah, but not much use anymore with karmic coming
[00:02] <JoshuaP0x1> sebsebseb: I have to run dude. Anything else?
[00:02] <fearful> VCoolio, and awkardly when I exit the last window I have opened I get the logout sound of Ubuntu.
[00:02] <ThePunisher> wow a lot of people in this channel O_O
[00:02] <JoshuaP0x1> sebsebseb: thanks again for your help.
[00:02] <Beastmode> what is Karmic?
[00:02] <pazsion> answer my question?
[00:03] <VCoolio> fearful: I have NEVER heard something like that, wow
[00:03] <sebsebseb> JoshuaP0x1: or is Opera just installed, and Flash works no problem ?
[00:03] <fearful> VCoolio, let me restart xorg maybe something has gone really wrong
[00:03] <fearful> VCoolio, its a new jaunty install too.
[00:03] <VCoolio> Beastmode: the next version of ubuntu, coming 29 of october
[00:03] <ubuntistas> how can i completely remove xubuntu?
[00:03] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  Beastmode
[00:03] <ubuntistas> any command?
[00:04] <Flannel> ubuntistas: "remove" to what extent?  The whole install? the GUI? Just xubuntu, keeping Ubuntu? or what?
[00:04] <Beastmode> oh 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] <ubuntistas> the third one flannel
[00:04] <Beastmode> sorry, i just installed ubuntu about 2 weeks ago
[00:04] <Beastmode> so im very new to this
[00:05] <Flannel> ubuntistas: Er, which one was that?  You want to go back to only Ubuntu?
[00:05] <VCoolio> Beastmode: 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 anymore
[00:05] <ubuntistas> yup
[00:05] <Beastmode> oh
[00:05] <Flannel> ubuntistas: 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 removed
[00:06] <foey> May need to upgrade my linux-box, AMD XP2000, 768mb RAM, Geforce 2, 40Gb SATA2 Drive
[00:06] <Beastmode> anywhere i can read about what changes will be in Karmic as oppposed to 9.04?
[00:06] <foey> Its struggling with a couple of vms :D
[00:06] <Flannel> Beastmode: #ubuntu+1 should be able to answer that
[00:07] <Beastmode> ok
[00:08] <Balsaq> bought a new cheapie 18.5 flatscreen, hooked it up to my 11 year old dell w/ubuntu 9.04, now runs WAY FASTER? never tweaked ubuntu left the insrall asis?
[00:08] <blacksheep> hello
[00:08] <leissi> Balsaq, that's what happens when you reboot
[00:09] <Balsaq> ?
[00:09] <leissi> nevermind :P
[00:09] <Balsaq> gets faster when i reboot?
[00:09] <fearful> VCoolio, worked like a charm haha...
[00:09] <leissi> sorry, slipped out an insider thing :(
[00:09] <Balsaq> well can i be an insider?
[00:09] <Sirisian> How long does it normally take you guys to build the ubuntu kernel from scratch?
[00:09] <VCoolio> fearful: solved? good, the logout sound was a _very_ weird one
[00:10] <leissi> Balsaq, if you were you would've understood immediately :(
[00:10] <Balsaq> thought it may help others who need speed like i did...who knew?
[00:10] <fearful> VCoolio, yea I thought the same, but it's all cleared now sound and shortcuts thanks anyway!
[00:10] <Balsaq> well insider werent always insiders you know
[00:10] <ThePunisher> WTF always somebody leaving this channel and then someone else connecting

[00:11] <sebsebseb> !language | ThePunisher
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> hi
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> im interested in installing ubuntu on my car
[00:11] <sebsebseb> !hi |  wahnfrieden_
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> to replace the car management system
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> it's a BMW
[00:11] <wahnfrieden_> are there any open source ABS projects?
[00:11] <VCoolio> ThePunisher: you can switch off these messages in pidgin with enabling a plugin (do you use pidgin?)
[00:11] <Beastmode> how come when i run update it tells me that new package 9.10 is available? so i should not install that unti october29?
[00:12] <fearful> VCoolio, would you mind giving me the force add-on you were mention or where I can find it?
[00:12] <ThePunisher> VCoolio no
[00:12] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: Ubuntu isn't designed to run on your car, no.
[00:12] <wahnfrieden_> Flannel: not what i asked
[00:12] <wahnfrieden_> but thanks a lot anyway
[00:12] <wahnfrieden_> im worried about turn signals
[00:13] <wahnfrieden_> if there's some gnu software to handle them
[00:13] <ThePunisher> is 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 signals
[00:13] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: 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] <VCoolio> fearful: 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.
[00:14] <Balsaq> anyone 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] <fearful> VCoolio, alright, I'll give that a try instead sounds bettery anyway
[00:14] <joshua__> best music management in the repos?
[00:14] <wahnfrieden_> zed its not a laughing manner
[00:14] <ThePunisher> somebody can help me with php?
[00:14] <wahnfrieden_> matter
[00:14] <wahnfrieden_> this is my life at stake, as i drive my car
[00:14] <zed__> wahnfrieden_: wrong!
[00:14] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: Please stay ontopic in this channel.
[00:15] <ThePunisher> :/
[00:15] <wahnfrieden_> i need to knwo that my brakes won't go out, just because RMS decided that some ubuntu driver that my car relies on, isn't GNU
[00:15] <wahnfrieden_> or "free" enough for him

[00:15] <wahnfrieden_> i see.
[00:15] <VCoolio> fearful: 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-on
[00:16] <ThePunisher> g2g goodbye
[00:16] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: 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 ?
[00:17] <fearful> VCoolio, ok thanks for the info again
[00:17] <Flannel> wahnfrieden_: They wouldn't be appropriate either.  You're looking for embedded linux, although I doubt many of your subsystems would use linux at all.
[00:18] <wahnfrieden_> whys that?
[00:18] <ctmjr> wahnfrieden_: ask your mechanic
[00:18] <wahnfrieden_> sorry, I dont understand

[00:21] <linxeh> oafghani: if you run a windows client like mIRC
[00:21] <beasty> lol

[00:23] <bulazeem> i just fixed my sister's boss's computer and she also wants me to put an OS on it b/c her vista expired.  do you think that a complete computer noob would be fine with the new ubuntu?  i'm asking b/c last time i used ubuntu it was gusty (which was pretty user friendly), and i'm not sure how much more has improved.
[00:24] <leissi> eek what

[00:24] <leissi> xchat with no userlist

[00:25] <mgv2> how can i make xchat to load servers at starting?
[00:25] <superjoe> anyone gotten an ntrig tablet laptop working with touch screen?
[00:25] <mgv2> why does the english xchat spell checker go away when i change my system language?
[00:25] <superjoe> or have a link to an article?
[00:25] <beasty> mgv2: just disable it
[00:25] <htorres11393> because it's not in english?
[00:25] <superjoe> mgv2: xchat->network list->pick your channel->settnigs
[00:26] <leissi> mgv2, server list, pick server you want to connect to, edit, connect at startup
[00:26] <ryguy> Is there a good way to download aplbum art for an ipod in ubuntu
[00:26] <ryguy> I need to fix my whole collection
[00:26] <ubuntufan86> I was disappointed when I found out Ubuntu looks similiar to Windows.
[00:27] <beasty> ubuntufan86: url ?
[00:27] <ubuntufan86> I really wanted something different
[00:27] <superjoe> ubuntufan86: you have a lot to learn, my friend
[00:27] <ryguy> ubuntu looks liked windows?
[00:27] <ubuntufan86> What URL?
[00:27] <ryguy> are you on acid?
[00:27] <bewby> I have a problem with my USB mouse, and was wondering if anyone could help...I use ubuntu with gnome, and when I logged on a few minutes ago, instead of scrolling, the mouse wheel will control the volume. Anyone know what's wrong?
[00:27] <thedangler> hello, started ubuntu up today  and it loads and i get a black screen with flashing caps lock, what can i do?
[00:27] <pablo_> hi
[00:27] <htorres11393> it looks nothing like windows!
[00:27] <mikejet> ubuntufan86, I'm very happy with the UI in 9.04, compared to the earlier version.
[00:28] <ubuntufan86> I mean, I am tired of the windows on the screen.
[00:28] <ryguy> ...what? you're tired of window based gui's?
[00:28] <ryguy> theres a CLI if you want..
[00:28] <superjoe> ubuntufan86: press ctrl+alt+f1
[00:28] <htorres11393> then pres CTRL ALT F1
[00:28] <htorres11393> if ur really sick of GUI
[00:28] <sn3aky> blackbox
[00:29] <sn3aky> fluxbox
[00:29] <citizeen> linux still has a long way to go to catch up to windows in terms of GUI
[00:29] <htorres11393> no way dude
[00:29] <htorres11393> what makes you say that?
[00:29] <citizeen> yes way dude
[00:29] <htorres11393> why is windows better?
[00:30] <zed__> ubuntu isn't too ugly, once you get the turd coloured theme...
[00:30] <citizeen> the look the feel the everything
[00:30] <xenogia> hey guys, im trying to setup so hellanzb loads up at midnight and closes at 12pm but i am having some issues with the crontab
[00:30] <UbuntuTurd> ok
[00:30] <mgv2> beasty, i want to have speel chech with my system to be in another language
[00:30] <mgv2> superjoe, yes i see it
[00:30] <xenogia> 30 09:28:01 dean-desktop /USR/SBIN/CRON[8957]: (dean) CMD (/usr/nzb_start.sh)
[00:30] <xenogia> Sep 30 09:29:01 dean-desktop /USR/SBIN/CRON[9086]: (dean) CMD (/usr/nzb_stop.sh)
[00:30] <zed__> UbuntuTurd: lol :)
[00:30] <mikejet> I've set up Ctrl+1 thru Ctrl+4 to select workspaces 1 through 4, like on OSX. I like that.
[00:30] <xenogia> is what it has in the logs
[00:30] <xenogia> but it doesn't actually load up the process in the bash script
[00:30] <sebsebseb> citizeen: I agree Ubuntu isn't that good for default eye candy, unlike many other distros, however even Ubuntu can be themed to look pretty nice
[00:30] <sagaci> citizeen: you have the choice of what operating system you use, so if you prefer windows, then use windows
[00:31] <mikejet> ubuntu needs to remove the part where the scrollwheel switches workspaces. that's horrible.
[00:31] <htorres11393> you haven't proven anything
[00:31] <citizeen> yes its ugly
[00:31] <htorres11393> ugly is only an opinion
[00:31] <htorres11393> i happen to think it looks good
[00:31] <citizeen> it looks cheap
[00:31] <htorres11393> if you make it look the way you want
[00:31] <htorres11393> fix it up
[00:31] <KnifeySpooney> what does?
[00:31] <sagaci> citizeen: it's free
[00:31] <htorres11393> use compiz and all that
[00:31] <citizeen> it looks like my grandma drew it up
[00:32] <mikejet> citizeen, maybe she did.
[00:32] <htorres11393> can your grandma draw up awn dock or even better cairo dock?
[00:32] <ctmjr> !ot
[00:32] <UbuntuTurd> Once you get used to all the turd on Ubuntu backround.
[00:32] <Evelina> How do I send variables from a php script to use in a bash script?
[00:32] <UbuntuPoop> ok
[00:33] <J11> well there was a Windows-like window manager
[00:33] <citizeen> if you think linux gui is better, you know you are just in a denial
[00:33] <bulazeem> anyone?
[00:33] <KnifeySpooney> Evelina: I haven't tested this but try reading the forums - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=981118
[00:34] <UbuntuPoop> a
[00:34] <citizeen> yes ubuntu is poop
[00:34] <Beastmode> is miro a streaming player like sopcast or tvu are for windows?
[00:34] <citizeen> you got that right my friend
[00:34] <ctmjr> citizeen: this is a support channel not a debate channel #ubuntu-offtopic is where you should this discussion
[00:34] <citizeen> im sorry i was just here to flirt
[00:34] <htorres11393> lol wat a shitty attitude
[00:35] <htorres11393> if you want' i can help you fix your desktop to make it look good
[00:35] <ryguy> hm, when you press CTRL ALT F1, how do you get back to the GUI? >_>
[00:35] <htorres11393> lollll
[00:35] <KnifeySpooney> ctrl+alt+F7
[00:35] <htorres11393> control alt f7
[00:35] <arand> mikejet: the scroll workspace switch was removed as part of the papercuts afaik.
[00:35] <bulazeem> ctmjr, it's also not really a support channel.  by telling the people that are debating where they can go to debate, you have infact given them more help than someone that had a real question...
[00:35] <ryguy> hahaha
[00:35] <ryguy> thanks
[00:35] <KnifeySpooney> :P
[00:35] <citizeen> the best GUI is the commando line mode
[00:35] <homebrewcider> hey there using Xubuntu, and Krusader, trying to copy files to server, can view files okay in server, but when copying get error message that failed to write file to xxx
[00:35] <Beastmode> Aynone ever use Miro?

[00:36] <reelonechris> citizeen, agreed :P
[00:36] <mikejet> arand: Im a little confused about that. The scrollwheel/workspace thing still happens on my 9.04.
[00:36] <htorres11393> yeah mikejet that's a feature
[00:36] <citizeen> web looks better in lynx
[00:36] <htorres11393> if you're not on a window it does that
[00:37] <magikid> Beastmode: I have.  It a good vodcast player.
[00:37] <reelonechris> citizeen, couldn't agree more, lol
[00:37] <mikejet> htorres11393, I believe it is fixed, but don't know what version.
[00:37] <sebsebseb> citizeen: now your starting to sound like a troll, however text only browsers can be fun
[00:37] <Beastmode> magikid, is it like sopcast and tvu for windows?
[00:37] <htorres11393> what doe you mean? what's fixed?
[00:37] <mikejet> I really wish System->About would print 9.04, 9.10, etc, somewhere. It's nearly impossible to keep track.
[00:38] <citizeen> only in linux do i get people to agree with me
[00:38] <sebsebseb> !version |  mikejet
[00:38] <magikid> Beastmode: No, it's not live.
[00:38] <superjoe> you should just select a better appearance option
[00:38] <citizeen> seriously, linux in GUI is complete crap
[00:38] <superjoe> like clearlooks
[00:38] <Pieman> Hello folks! I have two .vse files from a digital video recorder and badly need a converter. I have tried numerous ones for windows with no results whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[00:38] <superjoe> citizeen: explain "GUI"
[00:38] <J11> wasn't that /etc/issue ?
[00:38] <citizeen> anything involving a mouse
[00:38] <reelonechris> citizeen, even aim is better in term
[00:38] <sebsebseb> citizeen: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:39] <joeb3_> mikejet, mine says 9.04 right under the graphic
[00:39] <superjoe> Pieman: you want to look at ffmpeg
[00:39] <KnifeySpooney> citizeen: I prefer Ubuntu's GUI over Win7's
[00:39] <KnifeySpooney> especially with compiz
[00:39] <mikejet> joeb3_, In System->About Gnome ?
[00:39] <Pieman> Thanks suoerjoe.
[00:39] <joeb3_> mikejet, about Ubuntu
[00:40] <Pieman> Superjoe!
[00:40] <nyu_> im having problems changing my samba password
[00:40] <Beastmode> any suggestions as to what i can use for ubuntu in place of sopcast and tvu player?
[00:40] <mikejet> joeb3_, That's not in the default ubuntu toolbar on 9.04.
[00:40] <Beastmode> i couldnt find sopcast or tvu on osalt
[00:41] <arand> mikejet: seems like it's only in karmic so far: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/147230
[00:41] <joeb3_> mikejet, I didn't add it. It's just there.
[00:41] <sebsebseb> !ot
[00:42] <mikejet> arand : That's perfect. I figured out how to disable, and I'm glad its gone in 9.10 so I don't have to explain this to others.
[00:42] <ryguy> Whats a good ipod album art fixer for ubuntu?
[00:42] <htorres11393> are you on a dual boot ryguy?
[00:42] <ryguy> nope 199% ubuntu
[00:42] <ryguy> >_>
[00:42] <mikejet> joeb3_, You are saying you have a "System->About Ubuntu" in your toolbar?
[00:42] <joeb3_> mikejet, do you have file:///usr/share/gnome/help/about-ubuntu/C/about-ubuntu.xml#
[00:42] <htorres11393> well idk dude
[00:43] <ryguy> dang

[00:43] <joeb3_> mikejet, yes
[00:43] <mikejet> joeb3_, What version of ubuntu are you running?
[00:43] <htorres11393> i heard a rumor that you can install itunes with wine on 9.04
[00:43] <ryguy> no I refuse to use itunes
[00:43] <htorres11393> then i don't know
[00:43] <joeb3_> mikejet, Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 9.04

[00:44] <htorres11393> can you develop ryguy?
[00:44] <htorres11393> you know programming?
[00:44] <nyu_> why do you need itunes? theres plenty of better opensource progs that do the same thing
[00:44] <praveenp> I am trying to xdmcp in ubuntu.

[00:45] <praveenp> anyone can help me with xdmcp?
[00:45] <Evelina> I donät want to use it on xml pages. I want to get content between tags using html coding.
[00:47] <mikejet> joeb3_ No, I don't have that file.
[00:47] <mikejet> Why does joeb3_ have a System->About Ubuntu, but I do not?
[00:48] <superjoe> has anyone gotten an ntrig touchscreen laptop to work?
[00:49] <sebsebseb> Evelina: What's  xmlstarlet?
[00:49] <mikejet> Does anybody else running 9.04 here have a System->About Ubuntu in the toolbar?
[00:49] <VCoolio> mikejet: can you run 'yelp'?
[00:49] <ryguy> mikejet: me
[00:49] <mikejet> yelp is not installed

[00:50] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi guys, having some trouble visualizing the content of some sites lately, could u tell me if u can watch this videoclip http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_wireless_electricity.html ? i run ubuntu 8.10 with firefox 3.0.14 thanks
[00:50] <Samus_Aran> can anyone explain why dbus never works for me, and how I could get it to work ?  I use /usr/bin/icewm as my window manager, if that makes a difference.
[00:51] <mikejet> So users are supposed to know to install yelp?
[00:51] <VCoolio> mikejet: no users are supposed not to uninstall it unknowingly ;)
[00:51] <mikejet> Is yelp installed by default on 9.10 ?
[00:52] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: works fine here.  which version of Flash are you using ?
[00:52] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: Adobe Flash is a buggy POS, so don't expect it to work regularly ...
[00:52] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i can watch youtube and other flash videos on other sites but not all of em, i dont understand
[00:52] <Evelina> sebsebseb: http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/
[00:53] <arand> mikejet: you might want to head out to #ubuntu+1 for those queries ;)
[00:53] <VCoolio> mikejet: sorry, it seems to be optional; don't know why almost everyone has it then
[00:53] <sebsebseb> Evelina: ok ty I guess, but itsjareds already gave me that link
[00:53] <ubox> does anyone running on a ppc have suspend working?
[00:53] <mikejet> good grief.
[00:53] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: as I explained: Adobe Flash (for Linux) is a buggy POS.  every version they release is buggy
[00:54] <Evelina> sebsebseb: Ok, I didn't see that, was just looking at my own conversation.
[00:54] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_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 crashes
[00:54] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: yeah but if it works for utube why wouldnt it for another site?
[00:54] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: because they are using different components of Flash
[00:55] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: so what do u suggest me to do?
[00:55] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: install gnash?
[00:55] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: I suggest upgrading to the very latest version of Flash available for your architecture
[00:55] <veloz> alguem poderia me ajudar?
[00:55] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: uname -m
[00:55] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: what does that list ?

[00:56] <IpSe_DiXiT> i cant HEAR this http://gethighnow.com/binaural-beats-basic-beats/ it just won't start
[00:56] <veloz> vc disse para eu procurar ajuda no forum ?
[00:56] <IpSe_DiXiT> KingNimrod: i got a dualcore
[00:57] <ring0> what kind of antivirus-toolkit could you recommend more, clamav or bitdefender?
[00:57] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: which distro are you using ?
[00:57] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: er, sorry, this is Ubuntu.  :p
[00:57] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: how did you install your current Flash version, through the package manager, or a download from Adobe ?
[00:57] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: im on ubuntu 8.10 with gnome of course
[00:57] <VCoolio> veloz: hope you can read this: I don't speak Portuguese, no hablo portugues
[00:57] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: synaptic
[00:58] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: download this file: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[00:58] <Evelina> How do I extract the title from web pages in Linux? I have tried PHP and bash but I have BIG problems getting it to work with different kind of web page encodings.
[00:58] <Prohibited> Anyone mind helping me to set up WoW? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8027691#post8027691 (read it before linking the Ubuntu World of Warcraft guide).
[00:58] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: if it doesn't pop up in gdebi, then install it with: dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[00:58] <veloz> VCoolio ?
[00:58] <shinystar> Evelina: title of webpages?
[00:58] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: but i'll have to unistall my flash version first
[00:59] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: it should upgrade it
[00:59] <Prohibited> shinystar: <title></title>
[00:59] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: ah ok
[00:59] <IpSe_DiXiT> letz see what happens :D
[00:59] <SeaPhor|game> Prohibited, what are you using?
[00:59] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: you'll need to restart your browser afterward
[00:59] <shinystar> Prohibited: I know.
[00:59] <SeaPhor|game> Prohibited, wine? Cedega?
[00:59] <Prohibited> SeaPhor|game: WINE
[00:59] <Prohibited> I have CrossOver installed, haven't tried running WoW under it
[00:59] <shinystar> Prohibited: but I'm asking because title of webpage sounds strange..
[00:59] <Jagger> anybody troubleshoot aircrack for me
[00:59] <shinystar> Prohibited: what can one do with that..
[01:00] <Prohibited> well
[01:00] <Karan> wud guyz
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> Prohibited: contact the crossover team, when you buy it you also buy support
[01:00] <Karan> wud up
[01:00] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: ive already tried to install this, ive just realized it cuz this output came out that time as well "A later version is available in a software channel
[01:00] <IpSe_DiXiT> You are strongly advised to install the version from the software channel, since it is usually better supported."
[01:00] <Evelina> shinystar: Yeah, the content between the title tags in the code of web pages.
[01:00] <shinystar> Evelina: if you want to copy a website use the save as function of firefox or use something httrack website copier
[01:00] <ewp> Jagger: join #aircrack-ng
[01:00] <darkham> please help, i installed ubuntu jaunty on a system with raid 0
[01:00] <Prohibited> for some websites, example is one of the Church Norris jokes websites the joke (if you consider them a joke) it in the <title></title> tags
[01:01] <darkham> but at reboot i've grub error 21
[01:01] <SeaPhor|game> Prohibited, it is OT (off-topic) here, i will help you in # seaphor if you want
[01:01] <Evelina> I have a lot of problems getting all characters to show up as the should depending on different encoding of web pages.
[01:01] <shinystar> Evelina: you could also simple do a right click and view the source to look for the title.. but that would be useless. because your window shows the title in the title of the window xD hahaha
[01:01] <Prohibited> so getting a game to work on Ubuntu is counted as offtopic?
[01:01] <Evelina> Somtimes the web page says utf-8 but the text look only good using iso-8859-1 anyway. This is very fristrating!
[01:01] <darkham> i typed in live "ms-sys -m /dev/sda" the result was good, but i can't reboot windows xp
[01:01] <shinystar> Evelina: oh, I see. so you're coding html.
[01:02] <Prohibited> SeaPhor|game: Yes please
[01:02] <darkham> plese help me
[01:02] <darkham> i'm desperate
[01:02] <Evelina> shinystar: Well, I want to get the conten between the title tags using a bash script or someting.
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> Prohibited: have you checked the appdb?
[01:02] <ryguy> how do I open a text file with spaces in the name from the command line? "sudo gedit /media/usb/I AM THE FILE"
[01:02] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: dpkg --force-all --install install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> ryguy: gksudo gedit dude, sudo s not for gui apps
[01:03] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i have this version installed now FLASH LNX 10,0,32,18
[01:03] <Samus_Aran> ryguy: gksudo gedit '/media/usb/I AM THE FILE'
[01:03] <Evelina> shinystar: 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] <ryguy> ActionParsnip: It works fine though...
[01:03] <ryguy> thank you samus
[01:03] <shinystar> Evelina: 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 xD
[01:03] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i have this version installed now FLASH LNX 10,0,32,18 why do i need to install the .10? if mine's more recent
[01:03] <sebsebseb> hi again Karan
[01:04] <Samus_Aran> ryguy: it may or may not work fine using sudo, depending on settings.  gksudo will always work
[01:04] <yuri_dragon_17> I need help: I have a working ubuntu disk In the drive, but my computer won't boot to linux
[01:04] <ryguy> oh okay
[01:04] <ryguy> fair enough
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> ryguy: sudo doesnt setup the environment correcly and can damage ownerships
[01:04] <ryguy> thanks for the tidbit
[01:04] <shinystar> Evelina: utf-9? you mean utf-8 I think. you can set your terminal charset..
[01:04] <KingNimrod> yuri_dragon_17: bios set to boot from cd?
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> ryguy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[01:04] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: because the version that your distro installed for you is broken for sites that mean something to you.  try the latest stable release directly from Adobe.  if it's still buggy, then try an alpha (test) release
[01:05] <Evelina> shinystar: Will the characters look good using you line of code? I mean different characters only show up as the should using the right encoding?
[01:05] <yuri_dragon_17> KingNimrod: that's probably it
[01:05] <Evelina> shinystar: Yes, I meant utf-8.
[01:05] <root_demon> hello ubuntu people
[01:05] <Samus_Aran> Evelina: there is no way to magically know which encoding a file has
[01:05] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: alright so im giving this  dpkg --force-all --install install_flash_player_10_linux.deb without removing the installed version first, right?
[01:05] <Samus_Aran> Evelina: when opening text files, they will be displayed using the encoding of your terminal
[01:06] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: yeah
[01:06] <Evelina> Samus_Aran: Yea, I have created a script that also gets the encoding line of a web page source code, the problem is that itthe texts ometimes look good using the opposite encidong!
[01:06] <root_demon> so, I have a quirky usb problem. the entire hub seems to be dieing. every couple of minutes dmesg will show it come back up and then 10 seconds later it'll die again. i have endless pages of this -> http://pastebin.ca/1585139
[01:06] <Evelina> *encoding
[01:06] <darkham> plese help me
[01:06] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area --> thatz the output, am i missing a sudo here?
[01:06] <darkham> i typed in live "ms-sys -m /dev/sda" the result was good, but i can't reboot windows xp
[01:06] <shinystar> Evelina: I don't know. try the code yourself.
[01:06] <darkham> i installed ubuntu jaunty on a system with raid 0
[01:07] <shinystar> Evelina: it's harmless
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> root_demon: try disabling acpi
[01:07] <shinystar> Does one know a good nickname? wanne register one for freenode
[01:07] <guest17747> is there a netbook irc channel?
[01:07] <shinystar> sux.. cannot use openid..
[01:07] <cidu_work> umm, so whats the accepted method for getting dual screen + compiz working on an ATI card that has been dropped from the ati driver support, its an RV370.....same chip as the x300's
[01:07] <root_demon> ActionParsnip: interesting idea. I'll do that. is it enough to stop the service or do you think I should restart after disabling it?
[01:07] <sebsebseb> guest17747: don't think so, but you can  get support for Ubuntu Netbook Remix in here
[01:07] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area --> thatz the output, am i missing a sudo here?
[01:08] <guest17747> ok, good to know
[01:08] <shinystar> guest17747: there is #kubuntu-netbook
[01:08] <guest17747> i just thought there may be a dedicated channel
[01:08] <guest17747> oh ok, that might be an option
[01:08] <guest17747> thanks
[01:08] <sebsebseb> guest17747: that's Kubuntu though KDE
[01:08] <sebsebseb> guest17747: not Gnome KDE
[01:08] <shinystar> ^ indeed
[01:08] <guest17747> right, thanks for clarifying
[01:08] <sebsebseb> shinystar: I didn't know that channel existed
[01:09] <sebsebseb> guest17747: above that was meant to say  not  Gnome/Ubuntu
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> root_demon: possibly make the power management not make the  sub flutter of and on
[01:09] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: sorry, yes, sudo.  my mistake
[01:09] <shinystar> there is a channel for every problem
[01:09] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: (I use a root account here, so often forget the sudos)
[01:09] <foey> mmmm, I just was running a XP VM in Virtual Box, it started to get slower and slower so closed Virtual box but yet my ram still stayed over 600mb, Ubuntu was almost unusable (slow) rebooted and now nice and quick. Memory leak?!
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: there can be, the server supports channel spawning
[01:09] <root_demon> ActionParsnip: that's pretty tricky. hadn't thought of that. thanks much.
[01:09] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: command not found o_O
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | root_demon
[01:10] <Samus_Aran> foey: next time things go screwy, just look at which processes are using the RAM
[01:10] <BWARG> any ideas about that mysql possible package problem i brought up earlier?
[01:10] <Samus_Aran> foey: most likely an app crashed and no longer was on your desktop, but was still running in a frozen state and using all the rAM
[01:10] <Samus_Aran> *RAM
[01:11] <Flannel> BWARG: "doesn't install correctly" meaning what?
[01:11] <foey> Samus_Aran : Yeh ill check that out, I did go to load it up but was taking ages to load,
[01:11] <Samus_Aran> foey: if you're in Gnome, turn on the CPU and memory monitors
[01:11] <xiong> Well, 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] <BWARG> it installs but when you try to use it it gives a socket error
[01:11] <foey> Samus_Aran : Got System monitor loaded now
[01:11] <BWARG> saying the socket file is not there
[01:11] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: channel spawning, you mean I can use openid to logon on differnt servers
[01:11] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: ok done, but look adobe-flashplugin (10.0.32.18-1) it's the same version i had...
[01:12] <BWARG> [sudo] password for adam:
[01:12] <BWARG> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)
[01:12] <Samus_Aran> foey: 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 smallest
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: you can join a nonexistant channel and it will be created and you will be the op
[01:12] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: and then?
[01:12] <BWARG> i was insisted upon that it was because i was using the karmic but then i reinstalled jaunty and it happened again
[01:12] <foey> Samus_Aran : Ok thanks, just booting up the vm now
[01:12] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: okay load up synaptic and do a search for flash plugin and see which one(s) it lists as being installed
[01:13] <Samus_Aran> foey: by the way, how much RAM on the system, and do you have swap enabled ?
[01:13] <BWARG> it was the first thing i installed after booting ...well after updates
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: so their can be a help channel for anything you like
[01:13] <Flannel> BWARG: which command were you running when you got that error?
[01:13] <BWARG> mysql
[01:13] <joeb3_> BWARG, is mysql running?  netstat -an | grep 3306
[01:13] <BWARG> mysql -u root
[01:13] <BWARG> mysql anything
[01:14] <BWARG> sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[01:14] <foey> Samus_Aran : I have 768mb with a 1.6Gb Swap
[01:14] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: that's what I said. "there is a channel for every problem" that was no question btw. :)
[01:14] <foey> Samus_Aran : Not much but its not my main rig.
[01:14] <BWARG> sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[01:14] <BWARG> no mysql never was running
[01:15] <BWARG> ive checked already
[01:15] <smev81> hi, i want to do something simple, yet impossible. i want to embed my openoffice document to a tetex (lyx file.) I already know how to export to pdf and to ps. But how can i convert them to anything, that lyx knows (like jpg.) So my question is, how can i convert (pdf, ps or openoffice) to jpg?
[01:15] <BWARG> thats the sam cmd line i was given before when i was on karmic
[01:16] <BWARG> open in firefox and use an addon?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: sorry, thought there was
[01:16] <Flannel> smev81: You can embed ps and pdf into tex documents, include them with includegraphics
[01:16] <Samus_Aran> smev81: convert foo.ps -quality 99 example.jpg
[01:16] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: now Sybaptic shows adobe-flash-plugin as broken...
[01:16] <Evelina> shinystar: No, the code didnät work. Oh, this is sooo frustrating. Why isnät it just possible to get the title of web pages whitout strage characters showing up on some words.
[01:17] <smev81> Samus Aran, thank you. Do you have an idea for more than one page
[01:17] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: hey no problem, you may have acclimatized that every lin in irc is a problem xD
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> shinystar: in support channels its a fair assumption ;)
[01:18] <BWARG> ive done searches using the "site:" search parameter in the sun microsystems forum on google for the problem
[01:18] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: so there is adobe-flash-plugin and no other ones listed as installed ?  (remove any of them)
[01:18] <BWARG> nothing that showed up worked
[01:18] <BWARG> ive been working on this problem with people for days
[01:18] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: im "upgrading" from synaptic now
[01:18] <shinystar> ActionParsnip: indeed, you're right^
[01:18] <Flannel> BWARG: does 3306 showup in a netstat?
[01:18] <BWARG> no
[01:19] <Flannel> BWARG: try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[01:19] <smev81> Samus Aran. Okay, it does automagically. gs didn't do that. Thank you. That saves me.
[01:19] <Flannel> BWARG: What error does that give you?
[01:19] <BWARG> i tried that already
[01:19] <Flannel> BWARG: no, you tried restart
[01:19] <BWARG> the same error
[01:19] <BWARG> i tried start too
[01:19] <Flannel> BWARG: What error was that?
[01:19] <BWARG> i didf stop then start

[01:20] <marcus_> hey, anyone know of a program or a way to view wubi partitions (root.disk) in windows (7 x64)
[01:20] <Flannel> smev81: You're better off skipping the rasterization, and just including them as graphics with includegraphics
[01:20] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: again, flash works, utube's watchable, not that other site though...
[01:21] <slawek> i am clicking on my MountManager shortcut and nothing happening. Any idea?
[01:21] <smev81> Flannel: i dont understand you. Can you explain that?
[01:21] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_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 still
[01:22] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: remove all versions of Flash and confirm that Firefox has no Flash plugin at all, by going to: about:plugins
[01:22] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_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] <yuri_dragon_17> KingNimrod: I figured it out: it wasn't a boot disk. I grabbed the wrong one

[01:23] <slawek> i am clicking on my MountManager shortcut and nothing happening. Any idea?
[01:24] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: thatz what it was... i just had to allow "googleapis.com" in my whitelist and it worked!
[01:24] <smev81> Flannel: i thought so, too. But i am lazy, using lyx. Without using commands. I have made expiriences, where lyx won't reopen if i do anythin manually, but i will try it out on a safed copy. Thanks for the tip
[01:24] <Samus_Aran> does anyone know how to fix a broken dbus ?  I use /usr/bin/icewm as my window manager.  any app wanting to use dbus complains that it can't connect to a non-existent file in /tmp
[01:25] <Samus_Aran> IpSe_DiXiT: your whitelist of what ?  what blacklist are you using ?
[01:25] <IpSe_DiXiT> Samus_Aran: i block all the scripts
[01:26] <Pelo> Samus_Aran, try changing the permission to /tmp so anyone can access it

[01:29] <brianV> hi all, I am having an issue. I just bought a Geforce GTS250, and put it in my machine. It works fine with the 'nv' driver, but when I try to use Nvidia, I get a blank screen when starting X - no signal sent ot the monitor
[01:29] <foey> Can anyone recommend me a decent Gnome Backup manager?
[01:29] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, check in ff in the addon dialog,  there is a tab for plugins,  uncheck the ones you don't want and restart
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> seil: its called super in linux ;)
[01:29] <Pelo> brianV, how are you installing the nvidia driver ?
[01:30] <ctmjr> brianV: how did you install the driver?
[01:30] <Evelina> I want to check if characters of a sentence are like [:aplha:], hor do I do that?
[01:30] <seil> ActionParsnip almost all new keyboards still have windows logo
[01:30] <Evelina> I'm trying to discover characters not alphabetic.
[01:30] <Voss> Imagine the liability waivers you would have to sign if microwave ovens had open source code and were hackable ;-)
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> seil: you can buy stickers and replacement keys
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> seil: optimus keyboard can be configured to display a tux ;)
[01:31] <KingNimrod> Voss: none
[01:31] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: tried that already, but i cant find my way out of this
[01:31] <Pelo> Evelina, open it in openoffice.org and run a spellcheck ?
[01:31] <Evelina> Pelo: I want this to be a part of a bash script.
[01:31] <seil> ActionParsnip nice
[01:31] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, are you thoguth of asking in #firefox ?
[01:31] <brianV> Pelo, ctmjr: Using the restricted drivers manager
[01:31] <Pelo> Evelina, out of my league
[01:31] <Evelina> Pelo: Therefore I want a bash script to check whatever the characters are [:alpha:] or not.
[01:32] <Pelo> BrianR___, then why are you playing around in xorg.conf ?
[01:32] <Evelina> Pelo: Ok
[01:32] <Pelo> brianV, why are you playing around in xorg.conf ?
[01:32] <CorpX> whats the best h264 decoder for ubuntu
[01:32] <brianV> Pelo: I am not
[01:32] <Pelo> Evelina, I trhink there is a #bash you might ask in
[01:32] <slaczware> Hello guys im using jaunty and my desktop sometimes get unresponsive i cant click on anything
[01:32] <Pelo> brianV, what with the nv vs nvidia then ?
[01:33] <brianV> Pelo: because I've been using nvidia cards for 10 years, and know the drivers
[01:33] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: done, nothingapparently its a totem plugin issue
[01:33] <foey> slaczware : I had this problem a while back, it turned out to be the graphics card driver and res. I managed to get around it by dropping the colours to 15bit before I could install the correct driver
[01:33] <blackettle> Any windows/Ubuntu dual booters willing to send me their grub.conf file or atleast the Windows portion of it?
[01:33] <Pelo> IpSe_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 called
[01:34] <brianV> Pelo: any suggestions? Or just an accusation?
[01:34] <slaczware> foey: ok thx, how often did this problem accure to you?
[01:34] <Pelo> brianV, 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)
[01:35] <MTec007> if the boot logs are not stored in /var/log/boot then where can i find them?
[01:35] <foey> slaczware : 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] <Pelo> brianV, 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'T
[01:35] <brianV> Pelo: 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 again
[01:36] <brianV> Pelo: my apologies. I guess it's hard to judge intent across an IRC chat line
[01:36] <KingNimrod> brianV: just use the drivers that work for you?
[01:36] <Pelo> brianV, ahhhhh.
[01:36] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: i dunno what i need to do, i think so, but im not sure
[01:36] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, hold on
[01:36] <brianV> KingNimrod: because the ones that work don't have 3d support?
[01:36] <slaczware> foey: same here, are you using a ATI card?
[01:36] <KingNimrod> brianV: have you tried using envyng?
[01:37] <SGottl7227> can someone message me on how to set up a usb dial up modem..
[01:37] <brianV> KingNimrod: yes, with much the same effect
[01:37] <KingNimrod> brianV: that's how I got my 9600gt working
[01:37] <foey> slaczware : 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/Linux
[01:37] <Pelo> brianV, your card may not be supported with the driver you are trying to use, try to select the 173 or the 96 one
[01:38] <Prohibited> lol
[01:38] <stepomaticc> blackettle: http://paste.debian.net/47789
[01:38] <brianV> Pelo: perhaps not. EnvyNG suggests the 180 driver supports it, though
[01:38] <Prohibited> someones at work :P!
[01:38] <brianV> Pelo: it's a GTS250, so I am pretty sure 180 does it
[01:38] <ubuntu-the-best> i need help with GRUB
[01:38] <slaczware> foey: yeah I also always use nvidia but on this laptop it's a ati card
[01:38] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, ok menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager,  do a search for "totem mozilla" right click the package, select uninstall/remove , apply and see if that works
[01:39] <brianV> Pelo, I am on 64-bit - would that change anything?
[01:39] <ubuntu-the-best> is there anyone who knows how to use grub>>>
[01:39] <foey> slaczware : :-( Try another driver, although first switch the colours down to 15bit. This helped for me.
[01:39] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: i knew how to do that :D i was just wondering if it was the right thing to do :D
[01:39] <Pelo> brianV, I don'T know what works on what off the top of my head,  you might want to take a look on the nvidia.com website,
[01:40] <Pelo> brianV, my neighbour also has an issue with the nvidia drivers this was cause by her crappy mobo , with an via chipset on it
[01:40] <ubuntu-the-best> Please, someone help me with grub. I don't understand it at all.
[01:40] <mgv2> why does the english xchat spell checker goes away when i change my system language?
[01:40] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, if itdoesn'T work or cause trouble you can just put it back , no harm no foul
[01:40] <brianV> Pelo: hm... this mobo worked in the past with a Geforce 7300 GS
[01:40] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, what is the problem what do you need to fix ?
[01:41] <Pelo> brianV, I'M just brainstroming here
[01:41] <O__o> is there any softwares in ubuntu allow me to draw figures for highschool?
[01:41] <ubuntu-the-best> i am trying to install Solaris on my desktop
[01:41] <O__o> like sphere, cone, pyramid?
[01:41] <Pelo> brianV, might also want to ask in #nvidia
[01:41] <O__o> pie chats and stuffs?
[01:41] <ubuntu-the-best> i put in the disk and grub comes up
[01:41] <brianV> Pelo: it's truly appreciated. I am just evaluating the suggestions as the come out
[01:41] <IpSe_DiXiT> Perlo: to be honest id love to uninstall it and put VLC plugin as a default player for firefox, can i do that?
[01:41] <Pelo> !enter | O__o
[01:41] <IpSe_DiXiT> Pelo: to be honest id love to uninstall it and put VLC plugin as a default player for firefox, can i do that?
[01:41] <ctmjr> brianV: try the newer driver from nvidia 185  http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_185.18.36.html disable the restricted driver first tho
[01:41] <slaczware> foey: hahah now i'm completely stuck in the terminal cant do anything :D :D :D
[01:41] <Pelo> IpSe_DiXiT, look in synaptic , see if it is possible
[01:42] <brianV> ctmjr: ok, that's my next step
[01:42] <ubuntu-the-best> i don't know a thing about grub lol
[01:42] <foey> slaczware : Why is that? Can you startx?

[01:42] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, you need to boot from the disc to do the installation , you 'll want to change the device boot order in your bios
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Pupuuuuu: +1
[01:43] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: I did. I even tried it on a virtual machine. It's Solaris that is forcing me into a built in grub on the installation disk
[01:43] <Pelo> O__o, check in menu > applications > add/remove ,  look under the graphics senctions, or educationnal
[01:44] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, if the built in grub is on the install disc that is fine,  you just pick the installer from that grub
[01:44] <eaglestar> hi my friend could not remember his password for ubuntu, logged in as guest, typed some documents, saved them, now he can't find them.  where would they be located?
[01:44] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, the best place to ask about this would be in a solaris chatroom
[01:44] <brianV> ctmjr: with a 64-bit OS, should I be downloading the AMD64 driver, or IA64?
[01:44] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: how do I do that. It doesn't give me the usual menu. I have to write commads
[01:44] <Pelo> eaglestar, guest documents are not saved
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> brianV: same thing
[01:45] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, that is a question for a solaris channel , not for ubuntu , it is their install system you are having problems with
[01:45] <eaglestar> so is there any way to find the homework he wrote for school?
[01:45] <ctmjr> brianV: the AMD64 driver
[01:45] <ubuntu-the-best> i know, Solaris gets on my nerve because of that. I have ubuntustudio on my laptop and it is very user frindly.
[01:45] <Pelo> eaglestar, it's gone
[01:45] <D-rew> Wicked sick
[01:45] <archae0pteryx> I am using a desktop remotely with nx and I can't get access to USB drives automatically, they do not show up on my desktop.  Any ideas?
[01:45] <marcus_> ActionParsnip: thanks for the link bro
[01:45] <archae0pteryx> They are mounted
[01:45] <SGottl7227> how do i set up a usb dial up..
[01:45] <marcus_> appreciate it, pz :)
[01:45] <ubuntu-the-best> Pelo: do you know where I can go to the <<Solaris>> channel?
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> marcus_: np man
[01:46] <foey> Is there anyway once ubuntu starts up to enable the VNC server to allow VNC access before the machine has logged on
[01:46] <xiong> "N packages will be held back and not upgraded." <-- This suggests to me I've done something wrong. What?
[01:46] <Pelo> ubuntu-the-best, there is a #solaris channel on this network , try there , just type  /join #solaris
[01:48] <Pelo> g'night folks
[01:48] <ubuntu-the-best> Thank you Pelo. Let me try the UNIX guys
[01:48] <jordy240> !hi jordy240
[01:48] <ctmjr> eaglestar: did he log out yet or is he still logged in?
[01:48] <steven__> The default keyring keeps popping up when I try to use Evolution or Thunderbird! Heck, even when I try to connect to wireless it comes up...why is this happening and how do I prevent it? To my knowledge, I never set a password or passphrase for a keyring
[01:49] <eaglestar> ctmjr he logged out already
[01:49] <Samus_Aran> steven__: it's buggy as all hell.  my father's computer got that constantly.  all I figured out is to erase the key and hope it doesn't screw up again in future
[01:49] <KingNimrod> eaglestar: think your friend might be boned :(
[01:50] <steven__> Is this going to be fixed with Ubuntu 9.10?
[01:50] <eaglestar> KingNimrod thanks for the help guys
[01:50] <steven__> How do I erase the key?
[01:50] <xiong> eaglestar, Sorry, too late now. But suggest you set up regular user accounts for your friends. If they don't use them, they don't incur much overhead; you can leave them on your machine indefinitely. And if you create them with appropriate permissions, there's very little security risk.
[01:50] <Samus_Aran> eaglestar: what filesystem ?
[01:50] <brianV> how do I kill the X session so I can install the driver?
[01:50] <Samus_Aran> eaglestar: you can restore files easily on Ext2/3
[01:51] <Samus_Aran> brianV: first off get comfortable with switching to the text mode and logging in.  I recommend running irssi from there so you can ask questions
[01:51] <brianV> Sakarias: I can do that
[01:51] <steven__> How do I delete, disable or get rid of the key ring?
[01:51] <Samus_Aran> brianV: Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6 will take you to a text mode login, Ctrl+Alt+F7 should take you back to X
[01:51] <brianV> Samus_Aran: oops, meant you - I can do that. Telinit 3 just doesn't seem to work
[01:52] <brianV> Samus_Aran: the X server needs to be down to install the nvidia driver
[01:52] <Samus_Aran> brianV: once there, use /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:52] <MBD123_> Is it possible to install ttf files on Ubuntu?
[01:52] <Samus_Aran> brianV: with sudo if you're not root
[01:52] <ring0> is there a cli command for comparing two files?

[01:53] <joshua__> i pressed the super key + r by accident, how do i zoom back out?
[01:53] <skeet_> Can someone help me configure my wireless card?
[01:53] <shawn_> Hmm if I wrote a function and put in on a Blackberry to use for Math how could I run a Python script off it?
[01:53] <Samus_Aran> joshua__: it's not Super+R again ?
[01:53] <MBD123_> thanks
[01:54] <joshua__> Samus_Aran, no
[01:54] <Samus_Aran> joshua__: Super+Shift+R ?  I don't know it off-hand in my head.  if needs be you can open up the Compiz advanced settings window and find the shortcut there, or disable it
[01:55] <jordy240> !hi
[01:55] <ctmjr> eaglestar: sorry but after he logged out the temp file gets deleted i know of no way to get it back
[01:55] <joshua__> errr...
[01:55] <jordy240> !hi jordy240
[01:55] <Samus_Aran> joshua__: "ccsm" for the Compiz settings manager.  you may need to first: sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm
[01:56] <Joelito> opinions: which is faster ubuntu or Kubuntu? I'd like to know people opinions who install in same machine both systems, please.
[01:56] <eaglestar> my friend knows nothing about ubuntu where should he begin reading?
[01:56] <Samus_Aran> !hi | jordy240

[01:56] <mrwes> er
[01:56] <Samus_Aran> eaglestar: the only different between them is the *default* installed desktop environment (Gnome or KDE, respectively).  there's nothing stopping you from installing and using either, or both, or neither
[01:57] <mrwes> eaglestar, and Google of course :)
[01:57] <Samus_Aran> *difference

[02:18] <stepomaticc> MTec007: above is really big :0
[02:18] <talkhouli> Flannel, well, I am trying to get a new version of a software, i thought i will find it under testing or unstable
[02:18] <MasterofPuppets> Could someone help me devise a script for my desktop icons where they don't have that selection glow over them?
[02:19] <IdleOne> !karmic > talkhouli
[02:19] <Samus_Aran> so why does Ubuntu have a "busybox" package which is *not* statically compiled ?  I can't envision any use for such a thing.  I installed it before trying something with a shared library folder, as I figured there was a possibility that it could cause problems... and it did... and now I can't run busybox either
[02:19] <Prohibited> Anyone mind helping me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1278622 (World of Warcraft + Wine)
[02:19] <IdleOne> talkhouli: never mind what ubottu just sent you. what application are you looking for?
[02:19] <fearful> Does anyone know a way I could at least view my blackberry's media content when connecting my phone via USB?
[02:19] <Flannel> talkhouli: No, Ubuntu doesn't do a rolling release, to get newer versions, you just Upgrade from one release (Intrepid/8.10) to the next (Jaunty/9.04)
[02:20] <vercinaigh> Hey anyone got a minute to help me with something? PM me if someone can
[02:20] <talkhouli> IdleOne, lyx
[02:20] <talkhouli> Flannel, why does synaptic offer that option then?
[02:20] <IdleOne> vercinaigh: ask in here so we can all benefit :)
[02:20] <Flannel> talkhouli: Which option?
[02:20] <ryguy> vercinaigh: yeah ask in here

[02:22] <Prohibited> Be back soon,
[02:22] <talkhouli> Flannel, under Software Sources>Third-part you can check pre-released and unsupported. I did that and i got errors when I  tried to apt-get update afterwards.

[02:23] <Sirisian> okay I asked this before, but I'm still curious. How long does it normally take to compile the ubuntu kernel? I've been compiling it for like 3 hours now :\
[02:23] <Samus_Aran> Sirisian: what CPU / RAM ?
[02:23] <dragon> Sirisian: what's your system configuration?
[02:23] <Samus_Aran> Sirisian: and did you use make -j 4 ?
[02:23] <KingNimrod> Sirisian: depends on lots of different factors
[02:24] <Sirisian> CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs
[02:24] <talkhouli> dragon, Flannel, IdleOne : Is it safe to add the repository of 9.04 on 8.10 and use apt pinning to get the new version of Lyx?
[02:24] <ryguy> Hey, I had rhythmbox automatically popup when I put in my ipod, now I want it to ask me what I want to open with again when I put in my ipod. How do I do this?
[02:24] <Flannel> talkhouli: Not really, no.  You shouldn't mix repositories.  You should consider upgrading, or you may be able to manually backport Lyx, let me take a look at it.
[02:25] <Sirisian> Samus_Aran, I was kind of just looking for a general range. I have a duo 1.83 ghz 2 cores and 1 GB of ram.
[02:25] <jrib> Sirisian: you're building multiple kernels with that command
[02:25] <Sirisian> jrib, oh really? whoops
[02:25] <magikid> ryguy: Open a folder (any folder) and go Edit->Preferences->Media->Music Player
[02:25] <jrib> Sirisian: yeah probably want just generic
[02:25] <jrib> *you*
[02:26] <jrib> Sirisian: go to sleep and check in the morning :)
[02:26] <Sirisian> jrib, CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=2 AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic ?
[02:26] <ryguy> magikid: Ahh yes, thank you very much
[02:26] <Flannel> talkhouli: Oh, seems Lyx has been backported to intrepid.  You don't want "testing" though, "intrepid-backports universe" will snag it for you
[02:27] <ubunturemix> hello i downloaded the ubuntu netbook remix
[02:27] <ubunturemix> it is 900mb
[02:27] <ubunturemix> How can I burn it? as image?
[02:28] <Flannel> ubunturemix: correct.  You put it on a thumbdrive with dd (it's .img)
[02:28] <KingNimrod> ubunturemix: sounds like a corrupted dl to me
[02:28] <onox> jono: when are you going to change your hackergotchi on pgo?
[02:28] <queso_> How do I find out my current network gateway IP?
[02:28] <ubunturemix> KingNimrod: why corrupted?
[02:28] <ubunturemix> Flannel: so, should I just burn it like any .iso?
[02:28] <jrib> !kernel > Sirisian
[02:28] <jrib> Sirisian: I don't know offhand.  Why are you building it anyway?
[02:28] <office> dumont: route -n
[02:28] <stepomaticc> queso_: netstat -rn
[02:28] <CokeNCode> guys, i've got a huge problem. I've created a thumb drive to boot from. Set it to save changes to the reserved section of the thumb drive. Yet, when I reboot the system, nothing is saved. Anyone have any suggestions?
[02:28] <magikid> queso_: ifconfig -a
[02:28] <fearful> Is there a way to configure BlackBerry desktop manager with wine?
[02:28] <talkhouli> Flannel, I added intrepid-backports universe, did apt-get update, tried to get lyx but still it says it's up-to-date.
[02:29] <CokeNCode> this is ubuntu 9.04
[02:29] <Flannel> ubunturemix: no, it won't fit on a disc, you need a 1GB usb drive, and then use dd.  Or, that's what I believe is the proper procedure
[02:29] <brianV> ok, so it looks like this new GTS250 I bought is a paperweight. The drivers just plain old don't work
[02:29] <queso_> stepomaticc, magikid: thanks!
[02:29] <ubunturemix> Flannel: I got a dvd
[02:29] <fearful> I got it to run just won't recognize my phone.
[02:29] <Sirisian> jrib, oh I have an operating systems course so I'll be editing the kernel and building it a lot so I wanted to do a first initial build. My professor told us to.
[02:29] <Flannel> talkhouli: Please pastebin the output of apt-cache policy lyx
[02:29] <Flannel> ubunturemix: ah.  I don't know how you might burn it to a CD
[02:29] <jrib> Sirisian: ah, cool
[02:29] <ctmjr> brianV: did you install the drivers from nvidia?
[02:30] <CokeNCode> man, this bites. This worked fine with the previous versions of ubuntu ... arghhhhhhhh
[02:30] <KingNimrod> ubunturemix: isn't it a .img not a .iso?
[02:30] <balzac> hello
[02:30] <brianV> ctmjr: yep. Same issue - once X tried to start, monitor lost signal, the fan on the card shut off, and the system was unresponsive
[02:30] <KingNimrod> ubunturemix: .img is for flash drives
[02:30] <brianV> ctmjr: same as when I attemp it through envyng and the restricted driver manager
[02:30] <ubunturemix> KingNimrod: damn
[02:30] <balzac> I'm trying to use "remote desktop" but I'm having trouble making my computer available outside the local network.

[02:31] <cdonke> hello.. does anyone can give a really quick help on iptables?? it might be silly, but i'm getting nuts with it...
[02:31] <CokeNCode> guys, can't anyone help. This has to be a problem that other people have faced
[02:32] <jrib> CokeNCode: some of us would try to help.  But you need to state the problem for that to happen
[02:32] <CokeNCode> guys, i've got a huge problem. I've created a thumb drive to boot from. Set it to save changes to the reserved section of the thumb drive. Yet, when I reboot the system, nothing is saved. Anyone have any suggestions?
[02:32] <ctmjr> brianV: join #nvidia channel and see if someone in there can help you have to many drivers installed and envyng is bad
[02:32] <CokeNCode> the changes i make aren't persistent
[02:32] <talkhouli> Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/281777/
[02:32] <CokeNCode> I'm reading now that changes have been made and i need to mess about to get it to work
[02:32] <cdonke> i've read tons of sites and stuff, but it's not working... have to redirect all incomes from public ip, port 1235 to ip 129.168.1.98:1235
[02:33] <CokeNCode> why why why would they mess with it and make it harder ... jeeze
[02:33] <brianV> ctmjr: I am in there now. Can't raise a soul though, think they are all asleep :p
[02:33] <jrib> !usb | CokeNCode
[02:33] <Flannel> talkhouli: Alright, please pastebin your sources.list, and the output of sudo apt-get update
[02:33] <jrib> CokeNCode: who messed with what?  What version of ubuntu?
[02:34] <cdonke> 9.04
[02:34] <CokeNCode> jrib, 9.04
[02:34] <_MattB> I can't get my raid6 array to start even though I don't have more than 2 failed drives
[02:35] <_MattB> If I try and do -Af /dev/md1 it gives me a segfault
[02:35] <cort> hi!
[02:36] <ctmjr> brianV: yea that channels is pretty funny you either get alot of help or none first thing i would do is remove envyng unistall the restricted driver and the nvidia driver and reinstall the nvidia driver from their web site
[02:36] <brohism> Hi there, I'm having trouble with my network interfaces.  I made some changes today, things didn't work, and I put them back to what I thought they were before
[02:36] <cort> anyone here familiar with eucalyptus?
[02:36] <PMantis> I see some instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki that says:   "zcat remixusb.gz | sudo tee /dev/sdc1 >/dev/null"  Now, if you redirect to /dev/null, WHY bother with tee? I don't get it.
[02:36] <brianV> ctmjr: that is what I just did. I removed all the nvidia* packages prior to installing from the website
[02:36] <brohism> When I try to ping, it is very laggy, and even trying to terminate it with ctrl+c causes it to hang for 15-20 seconds
[02:37] <Flannel> PMantis: Because you want it to go to sdc1, you're redirecting the output from the display.
[02:37] <Kryo> hello everyone
[02:37] <Bluey> howdy
[02:37] <ctmjr> brianV: sudo apt-get --purge remove envyng
[02:37] <ryguy> How do I connect a sensorbar to the computer to control my mouse with the wiimote as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CWiiD
[02:37] <Kryo> any one know of a fix for the slow USB tranfers in 9.04?
[02:38] <Flannel> ryguy: The sensor bar is just two IR leds, you need bluetooth to connect the wiimote to your computer.
[02:38] <cort> Anyone can help me here? I installed my own cloud with eucalyptus and when I type euca-describe-availability-zones verbose I don't see any nodes :(
[02:38] <Bluey> kryo - I've had no issues with usb transfers - what kind/type of device?
[02:38] <PMantis> Flannel: Why not "zcat remixusb.gz > /dev/sdc1"  ?  No piping to tee, so nothing on display to get rid of that requires /dev/null...
[02:38] <balsaqgoingforit> running 9.04 just popped the xubuntu disc in for fun now says would i like to open it with the package manager? what is going on wanted to dual partition it?
[02:38] <ryguy> So I can just turn my wii on and move the sensor bar to under my monitor?
[02:38] <Ben64> sensor bar is really an inaccurate name for it
[02:38] <brianV> ctmjr: the fact that the same bug occurs regardless of which form of the driver I try makes me wonder if it's something system-specific
[02:38] <brianV> ctmjr: ie, a hardware issue of some sort
[02:38] <Ben64> ryguy: yeah, or make your own sensor bar
[02:39] <Kryo> Bluey: I am using a USB card reader with a micri SD card, and transfers are really slow
[02:39] <ubox> how are the intel gma chipsets with ubuntu?
[02:39] <ryguy> alright thats all i needed to know =) thanks
[02:39] <Bluey> kyro I have a similar setup
[02:39] <Ben64> ubox: i've had no problems with em
[02:39] <talkhouli> Flannel, for some reason i had things word differently now, it seems i had something wrong with sources.list. Anyhow, now after another apt-get update i am getting the following cache policy for lyx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/281785/
[02:39] <KingNimrod> ubox: good on my old netbook
[02:39] <Bluey> kyro how are you tranferring the files?
[02:39] <ubox> ben64: 3d works out of the box?
[02:39] <Dunlevy> Hello.

[02:39] <Ben64> ubox: does for me, which model number?
[02:40] <KingNimrod> ubox: yes compiz runs okay
[02:40] <Flannel> PMantis: because you can't sudo ">"
[02:40] <ubox> looking to get a new laptop to replace my old powerbook
[02:40] <Kryo> through a USB cable  just copy and paste
[02:40] <talkhouli> Flannel, I used apt-get install lyx and it didn't upgrade, should i use: apt-get upgrade lyx?
[02:40] <ctmjr> brianV: could be do you have another os installed so you can check the card
[02:40] <Flannel> talkhouli: That's good.  apt-get install lyx should upgrade it.
[02:40] <ubox> ben64: not sure just yet, but the cheaper laptops mostly have gma sets
[02:40] <ryguy> also, can I update gnome to 2.28 without installing karmic (I'm afraid of bugs)
[02:40] <Ben64> i have the GMA950, dunno how ubuntu works on the better ones
[02:40] <PMantis> Flannel: Ahhhhh
[02:40] <CokeNCode> this is bloody useless.... jeeze n ages ... why have all these frikking options that don't work!
[02:40] <balzac> I'm getting this error: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network."
[02:40] <balzac> Trying to use remote desktop
[02:40] <brianV> ctmjr: unfortunately, no. However, I got this card to replace a GeForce 7300 which had been doing the same thing
[02:41] <PMantis> Flannel: So it's just a trick to make the line sudo compatible... ok, Thanks!
[02:41] <Kryo> Bluey , I'm using a USB cable and just copy and paste the files from the card to my desktop
[02:41] <talkhouli> Flannel, apt-get install lyx is still not doing it. should i go for apt-get upgrade lyx?
[02:41] <Ben64> what is lyx?
[02:41] <Flannel> PMantis: Right.  You convert > to | sudo tee and >> to | sudo tee -a
[02:41] <Dunlevy> I need a little help extracting something via Terminal.
[02:42] <hadi> guys , when the swap partition works ?
[02:42] <ubox> thanks for the input, now i know i don't need to get an nvidia or ati card
[02:42] <Flannel> talkhouli: "sudo apt-get install lyx" should do it, unless it tells you that Lyx is already at the newest version.
[02:42] <Ben64> Dunlevy: what file
[02:42] <Ben64> !info lyx
[02:42] <talkhouli> Flannel, it tells me it's at the newest version.
[02:42] <Flannel> Ben64: It's a GUI LaTeX thing
[02:42] <Flannel> talkhouli: alright, and then the policy gives you what?
[02:42] <Dunlevy> Ben64: Thanks for the reply, a tar.bz2
[02:43] <Dunlevy> I'm brand new to Linux but I'm having fun learning.
[02:43] <Ben64> Dunlevy: tar xjfv [file].tar.bz2
[02:43] <Flannel> ryguy: Sure.  The connection from te wii to the sensor bar is just for power.
[02:43] <talkhouli> Flannel, no change, the same as the last one i pasted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/281785/
[02:43] <Dunlevy> That's what I've done, it returns an error.

[02:44] <Ben64> !paste
[02:44] <Flannel> talkhouli: Hmm.  Alright, sure, try apt-get update.  Although, the fact that "candidate" is listed as 5.6 instead of 6.1 is reason to think that won't work.  Did you fiddle with your apt_preferences or anything?
[02:44] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ty
[02:44] <jrib> !dialup | SGottl7227
[02:45] <hadi> guys , when the swap partition works ?
[02:45] <SGottl7227> yes i have a dial up usb modem
[02:45] <Dunlevy> Thanks all, I'm now using the sudo command which I should've in the first place. It's asking me for my password but not letting me enter it. Or it's just not displaying characters as I type it. Is the latter the case?
[02:45] <jrib> hadi: when the kernel thinks it's a good idea
[02:45] <jrib> Dunlevy: no, you shouldn't be doing this...
[02:45] <ctmjr> brianV: what does the output of sudo  nvidia-xconfig give you if anything
[02:45] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I am getting his update error http://paste.ubuntu.com/281790/
[02:45] <Prohibited> hmm
[02:45] <Prohibited> somethings wrong..
[02:45] <hadi> jrib : i have 2 gb ram and 3 gb swap so i got 5 gb virtual memory ?
[02:46] <ryguy> What's easier to develop gtk applications in, C, C++, or Python?
[02:46] <Ben64> Dunlevy: looks like they have a repo you could use instead of tar.bz2
[02:46] <Prohibited> Whenever I try to left-click using my USB mouse, nothing happens.
[02:46] <jrib> Dunlevy: it's clear you aren't comfortable using ubuntu yet and what you are doing doesn't sound like the right way to do whatever it is you are doing.  Why not just tell us what you want to do?
[02:46] <Ben64> http://www.lotrolinux.com/download.php
[02:46] <slhommed> Dunlevy: the characters won't show up when typing in your password
[02:46] <brianV> ctmjr: that doesn't work, because I no longer have the driver installed
[02:46] <brianV> ctmjr: if the driver is installed, I can't boot into X
[02:46] <Dunlevy> jrib: Getting Dungeons & Dragons Online to work with WINE.
[02:46] <talkhouli> Flannel, God! Yes. I thought i deleted the file but it was there all the time. Not it works!
[02:46] <jrib> hadi: I think virtual memory is used to refer to swap but I could be wrong..
[02:46] <talkhouli> Flannel, Now it works.
[02:47] <Dunlevy> I'm following a set of instructions I found on AppDB.
[02:47] <Dunlevy> And it worked now, thanks.
[02:47] <hadi> ugh :0 ok !! GUYS be nice to jrib he's helping everyone ! thanks jrib ^_^ have a nice day or night
[02:47] <zenlunatic> jrib: yup
[02:48] <talkhouli> Flannel, a related question, in my preferences file i set the highest priority for stable, for Package: *. Now that i have intrepid-backports should i keep that to be safe or backports are safe?
[02:49] <Flannel> talkhouli: Backports are safe 'enough'?  They're not tested as much, because fewer people use them.  But they aren't untested.
[02:50] <Flannel> talkhouli: Backports are only made for select programs though, so it's not like libc6 is going to get updated or anything
[02:50] <Voss> dun, what version of wine are you using?
[02:51] <talkhouli> Flannel, 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] <ctmjr> brianV: if you can get a gui with the nv driver then the system is working it's the nvidia drivers that are messing you up i do not know what to tell you other than keep checking in #nvidia for help
[02:52] <brianV> ctmjr: ok, well, I'll keep trying in there. Thanks for the help!
[02:52] <Flannel> talkhouli: The easiest way to do it is to enable -backports, install the program updates, then disable backports.
[02:53] <talkhouli> Flannel, Ok! Thanks of your help!
[02:55] <xiong> Okay, I'm running out of time. How do I create an archive in segments small enough to burn to DVD-R?
[02:55] <CorpX> u have winrar installed?
[02:56] <mun> hi
[02:56] <mun> is there another console-based browser like lynx that can layout columns of tables rather than breaking columns up into new lines?
[02:56] <xiong> According to the docs, a tarball won't do it.
[02:56] <xiong> CorpX, I think maybe not. There's no option for .rar when I try to create the archive.
[02:56] <xiong> Is that what I need?
[02:56]  * xiong looks
[02:57] <CorpX> its a split archive using winrar
[02:57] <CorpX> if thats what u want
[02:57] <mrbook> Ibn virtual box how do I uncapture  a  USB device
[02:57] <CorpX> but u can specify the size of each piece
[02:57] <EricTheHax> Help! a kid got on and deleted a bunch of vital parts of my apps menu!
[02:58] <EricTheHax> is there a noob fix?
[02:58] <sebsebseb> !panels |  EricTheHax
[02:58] <CorpX> cntrl-z ?
[02:58] <xiong> CorpX, 'winrar' doesn't hit in Synaptic but p7zip does
[02:58] <jrib> EricTheHax: right click on the ubuntu icon > edit menu
[02:59] <CorpX> im sure most of the archive programs can create split archives
[02:59] <jrib> !unrar | xiong, CorpX
[02:59] <mrbook> In virtual box how do I uncapture  a  USB device
[02:59] <xiong> jrib, What do you think about p7zip?
[02:59] <xiong> That's free-beer-free.
[02:59] <CorpX> i stick with winrar for .rar since its their format and all
[03:00] <jrib> xiong: why not just use "split"?
[03:00] <xiong> Um well, I hope to avoid anything Windoz.
[03:00] <Ben64> unrar works fine
[03:00] <wall-e_> can anyone help me with getting divx/xvid avi files to play on ubuntu 9.04?
[03:00] <xiong> jrib, Sorry, I don't know what that is.
[03:00] <Ben64> !medibuntu
[03:00] <EricTheHax> now i dont have any panels my parents are yellin 4 me to go to bed
[03:00] <eross> is vrml still alive?
[03:00] <jrib> xiong: it's a command that splits files up into pieces
[03:00] <xiong> Ben64, I'm not trying to un anything; I want to create an archive.
[03:00] <Ben64> well then use rar

[03:01] <EricTheHax> *gnome-panel
[03:02] <CorpX> i have a athlon xp 2000+ system running ubuntu... is that good enough to use as a HTPC to play h264 files?
[03:02] <EricTheHax> how do i get my panels back
[03:02] <xiong> jrib, Nothing does what I want. I want a straightforward backup utility that does regular backups to hard disk and weeklies to DVD-R; I want a GUI and I want some indication of progress and completion. Well, I'm not going to complain about it; I'm going to make do with what I've got.
[03:03] <snack_> anyone here that may want to share some ideas related to a black screen boot up without errors and only occurs when extra ram is installed?
[03:03] <Ben64> CorpX: i
[03:03] <jrib> xiong: split will break up any file you want into pieces which you can combine later using cat
[03:03] <jrib> !backups > xiong
[03:03] <Ben64> CorpX: i'd say probably not, depends on res, but x264 takes a LOT of cpu, and xp2000+ doesn't have it
[03:03] <jrib> xiong: check there though I don't know of anything doing everything you want
[03:04] <EricTheHax> how do i get my panels back plz help
[03:04] <EricTheHax> i ran the command u told me but now i have no panels
[03:04] <eross> Eric - if it
[03:05] <eross> if it's not permanent, log out and back on?

[03:05] <Dunlevy> Does anyone know where the 'application launcher' is?
[03:05] <xiong> jrib, Thank you but it's a little late. I've spent hours comparing and trying out backup utilities. Now I'm committed. I have made the snapshot, now I meant to archive it in pieces and burn. Can you suggest how much margin I should allow on the segment size? Seems risky to go all the way to 4.7 Gb.
[03:06] <test34> Dunlevy, alt-f2?
[03:06] <EricTheHax> how do i log out with no panels
[03:06] <EricTheHax> without rebooting
[03:06] <Dunlevy> I think that's exactly what I needed, thanks test34.
[03:06] <jrib> xiong: don't know (I always leave quite a bit to be safe...)

[03:07] <Shawn-> If I alredy know the basics
[03:07] <xiong> jrib, I'll defer to your best guess. 4.6 Gb segments?
[03:08] <jrib> xiong: that should work
[03:08] <snack_> told him so =P
[03:08] <xiong> I gotta do something before they turn out the lights.
[03:09] <snack_> hmm
[03:09] <xiong> That's it; now I'm annoyed. "An error occurred while adding files to the archive." Doesn't say what error or on what file. I may never get a good burn.
[03:10] <xiong> I *will* figure it out.
[03:10] <jrib> xiong: check out the note here: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Backup_to_DVD#Break_with_Split
[03:10] <snack_> if your computer-screen goes black when u startup your computer at one point and the only thing you'we done is install an extra ram, then the ram is the cause. But if it would be broken should there not be errors of some sort?
[03:11] <xiong> jrib, I'm not going about this the right way. My fault. I should not have done a disk-to-disk backup first, then tried to burn that. Who knows what's going on.

[03:12] <qnet03> chating
[03:13] <xiong> snack_, I might not jump to that conclusion. Remove the new memory and confirm.
[03:14] <xiong> If you still think it's the new memory, see if you can run with only the new memory -- substitute it for the old. Perhaps the issue lies with how much total mem, not with any given bit. That said, you may well be right.
[03:14] <snack_> xiong: I've tried removing it and it does the trick. It starts like it should. I just think it's odd that the computer shows no errors, just a black screen.
[03:15] <snack_> btw it's a laptop so only 1 memory slot i can touch ^
[03:15] <xiong> snack_, if the mem is bad, it may squat the bus and make everything impossible.
[03:15] <snack_> xiong: good point
[03:16] <snack_> xiong: It should make some sound or reboot though.

[03:16] <xiong> Good night.
[03:17] <snack_> xiong: best thing would be if I could get my hands on another ram to try instead to confirm.
[03:18] <snack_> i guess.
[03:18] <xiong> snack_, absolutely.
[03:18] <xiong> Are you in the SF Bay Area?

[03:24] <grambo> im on sabyon right now, was wondering if i can install with a pretty frickin old ubuntu CD and update it easily?
[03:25] <Hansard> grambo: you have to upgrade from distro to distro... would be easier to download a new iso
[03:25] <grambo> no blank cd
[03:25] <grambo> or blank dvd
[03:25] <xiong> So what happened to hubackup? Not available in jaunty?
[03:26] <grambo> so apt-get doesnt have an upgrade

[03:26] <magikid> grambo: It does but you can only go from one update to the next, you can't skip a few
[03:26] <Hansard> grambo:  Install Ubuntu from a USB stick https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[03:27] <grambo> no usb stick

[03:32] <shane2peru> magikid: thanks!!! that second one I think is more along the lines of what I was looking for
[03:33] <shane2peru> magikid: looking to do about the opposite, but that gives the gist of how to make it work
[03:34] <magikid> shane2peru: I've found better ways to do it before but I didn't bookmark them or anything
[03:35] <balzac> Seems like the remote access utility is torn up in jaunty
[03:35] <balzac> all the tutorials i find on making it work are very technical involving the sabayon gnome conf gui which doesn't work out of the repositories, or using a command-line gnome conf utility or manually editing the configuration files
[03:36] <balzac> that's pretty hairy for a newbie like me
[03:36] <shane2peru> magikid: you don't know off hand what my -target should be for a web type video do you?  mp4?  or mpeg?  What would be better?
[03:37] <balzac> is there a simple solution to the "remote desktop" bug which says "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network"?
[03:38] <magikid> shane2peru: not right off, no I don't
[03:38] <kermit> why do i have a bunch of .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives ?
[03:38] <KingNimrod> balzac: is your firewall configured to let remote desktop connnections through?
[03:38] <magikid> kermit: it's where apt stores downloaded .deb files
[03:38] <shane2peru> magikid: ok, thanks for the links, much appreciated
[03:38] <kermit> magikid: autoclean didnt remove them though :/
[03:39] <Legendre> So, anyone know about the new user creation issues in JJ?
[03:39] <Legendre> how to fix them?
[03:39] <magikid> kermit: then I think it means they're not available in the repos then
[03:39] <Legendre> known issue/known fix?

[03:48] <KingNimrod> totem is the default gnome player, IIRC
[03:48] <Legendre> however, the implementation of mplayer in XBMC is quite nice =)

[04:01] <fearful> prappl93, for firefox?
[04:01] <prappl93> fearful, both firefox and system
[04:02] <fearful> prappl93, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree for
[04:02] <fearful> prappl93, firefox
[04:02] <KingNimrod> magikid: Thanks - I'll google it shortly...
[04:03] <prappl93> It says that the Flash for that is the newest version. What about for the whole OS, or is it just Firefox based?
[04:03] <Legendre> prappl93: I just d/l the flash player plugin in .tar.gz format, then drop the libflashplaer.so file into the firefox plugins dir
[04:04] <Legendre> if you want it systemwide, it goes into (IIRC) /usr/share/firefox-addons/plugins or something
[04:04] <ikwak> sorry got disconnected

[04:04] <seidos> openoffice calc: substract two time cells to get a time value?
[04:05] <fearful> prappl93, I just simply use vlc player it plays anything you don't really need anything else but vlc and the flashplugin for firefox, you can install the actual adobe plugin also sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[04:05] <user_> rha_gadiskecil@yahoo.com
[04:05] <prappl93> fearful, It's alright now, thanks for the help! I did not realize that I already had all the non-free stuff when I added the repositories for the restricted stuff. Thanks though, fearful! You helped a lot.
[04:05] <Legendre> prappl93: It goes in  /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ on my machine, but this might differ on newer ubuntu

[04:06] <Ademan> can anyone point me to some benchmarks of software raid versus fake raid? http://blog.shaf.net/?p=6 is the only one i noticed thus far, and it surprisingly (to me) puts software raid as faster than fake raid... I expect fake raid is faster but negligibly so...
[04:06] <Ademan> in other words i want a second opinion
[04:07] <Legendre> err.. software raid IS fake raid, isn't it?

[04:08] <foey> Its always down to what RAID controller it is. Most cheap raid controllers just use a software based raid.
[04:08] <fearful> prappl93, and your welcome for the help!

[04:10] <Legendre> Ademan: As I know it, you can have soft raid in the OS or in a mobo chipset. They are both 'fake' raid

[04:23] <ksbalaji> When I open, close windows, I see a flashing diagonal line runing from top right through bottom left. I also see this flicker when I scroll big websites etc. Can someone explain please?
[04:23] <Bluey> ksbalaji - what's your resolution and refresh rate?
[04:24] <achpile> thankx...
[04:24] <ksbalaji> Bluey, where do I see?
[04:24] <Bluey> ksbalaji -- private message ok?
[04:25] <Major_Quacks> The-Last-C: I havnt had to need that, I have no experience there, sorry, but I wonder if you could... Hm
[04:25] <achpile> setup.sh: setup.sh: cannot execute binary file
[04:25] <Axess_Denied> Where can I find an easy irc tutorial?
[04:25] <Axess_Denied> I haven't used IRC in years
[04:25] <Bluey> ksbalaji -- System/preferences/display will tell all
[04:25] <nanotube> !irc
[04:25] <achpile> this is after "bash setup.sh"
[04:25] <ksbalaji> Bluey, ok.pm Can you pl.start box?
[04:26] <nanotube> Axess_Denied: google? :)
[04:26] <Bluey> done
[04:26] <Axess_Denied> danke nano!
[04:26] <arahova> help, I can't find the internet explorer to access the internet?
[04:26] <Bluey> arahova -- umm there is no IE in linux
[04:26] <KingNimrod> arahova: xD
[04:26] <thiebaude> !wine | arahova
[04:26] <nanotube> arahova: try firefox. apps -> internet -> firefox web browser
[04:26] <chrome> hey is there a way to make ctl-alt-del NOT reboot the machine after 60 seconds? :)
[04:27] <arahova> jk guys, thanks for helping the community! :D
[04:27] <Axess_Denied> That was a waste of time
[04:27] <nanotube> arahova: heh
[04:27] <blak> Anybody know how to bridge an ethernet connection from an xBox 360 to wireless through a Ubuntu Laptop???
[04:27] <thiebaude> arahova, on google do a search for ie4linux
[04:27] <{Onyx}> I knew it was fake, all the idiots I have to support would have said there's no internet on my computer!
[04:27] <nanotube> Axess_Denied: :)
[04:27] <arahova> haha onyx
[04:27] <Bluey> hmm
[04:28] <achpile> use firefox
[04:28] <nanotube> {Onyx}: hehe good one
[04:28] <blak> Anybody know how to bridge an ethernet connection from an xBox 360 to wireless through a Ubuntu Laptop???
[04:28] <{Onyx}> I work tech support for HP, you wouldn't believe the idiots I deal with sometimes.
[04:28] <nanotube> !patience | blak

[04:28] <Docteh> blak: look for a howto on bridging two interfaces using the brctl took
[04:28] <Docteh> *tool
[04:28] <magikid> {Onyx}: I would, I've worked for a call center for govt employees before
[04:30] <paipimenta> so, I want to go through a Windows Server 2003 training course on my Ubuntu desktop server
[04:30] <paipimenta> command line only so far
[04:30] <paipimenta> what's the best way to do that?  I'm guessing some boot loader
[04:30] <{Onyx}> Anyone gotten the mic to work on an x-fi xtreme music card?
[04:31] <paipimenta> I just want to have Windows chained up in the basement to do my bidding when I want
[04:31] <Docteh> paipimenta: dual boot or virtualize
[04:31] <{Onyx}> When I get the Dell XPS system someone unloaded on me working I may dual boot 7

[04:31] <paipimenta> right now, on my 60Gig hard drive, I've got a 250Meg /boot partition and a LVM / partition
[04:32] <chrome> does anyone know if there is a way to make ctl-alt-del NOT reboot the machine after 60 seconds? :)
[04:32] <paipimenta> the LVM has a 15Gig lvroot, 1 Gig lvswap, and the rest ~40Gig lvhome
[04:32] <Legendre> 250M for boot?!
[04:32] <Bluey> that does nothing in ubuntu
[04:33] <Legendre> Mine is like 10M or something..
[04:33] <paipimenta> yeah, that was default when I setup whole drive guided as LVM originally
[04:33] <Bluey> now ctrl+alt+f1 gets you console
[04:33] <SmilinBob> oh hi
[04:33] <KingNimrod> chrome: Yeah, try not to press those keys ;P
[04:33] <chrome> KingNimrod: har har :P
[04:33] <{Onyx}> Stupid coke dealing x of my wife's friend traded it or something and didn't bother to make sure it worked. Not getting a display. I'll find out tomorrow if I just have to replace the gfx card or if I get to replace the MB, case, PSU and cooler.
[04:33] <lstarnes> Legendre: you need space for kernel images, initramfs images, and other things
[04:33] <ksbalaji> Bluey, I see you as away - for PM!
[04:33] <chrome> KingNimrod: years of habit pressing those keys to bring up the "lock screen" window :P
[04:33] <paipimenta> I want an optimal partition setup so I can dual boot
[04:33] <Legendre> lstarnes: apparently.
[04:33] <craigbass1976> can I use pdfimages to grab images and spit them out to .png files?  I don't see how gogling or in the man pages
[04:33] <Docteh> I put my whole ubuntu install on a separate partition from lvm
[04:34] <paipimenta> Docteh: how do I setup to dual boot?
[04:34] <Docteh> !dualboot
[04:34] <Bluey> ksbalaji - so you can still type?
[04:34]  * Docteh <3 this place
[04:34] <ksbalaji> Bluey, I have somehow opened a PM box and typed there.
[04:35] <KingNimrod> chrome: system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[04:35] <xiong> Now dkopp says "exceeded 200000 files", backup failed. Hey, what can I say, I got a lotta stuf?
[04:35] <{Onyx}> Think I'll get a new sound card for it as well. This x-fi card is getting annoying. Sounds great but I need the mic to work.
[04:35] <Bluey> ksb -- I see you there...
[04:36] <KingNimrod> xiong: no one needs that much pr0n ;p
[04:36] <chrome> KingNimrod: thats the next best option, thanks :)
[04:36] <KingNimrod> chrome: np
[04:36]  * thiebaude wow
[04:37] <xiong> KingNimrod, ha ha. It's mostly old versions of my current Perl project. That's what causes the high file count.
[04:37] <Docteh> !virtualpc
[04:38] <paipimenta> anybody know how I can partition my MacBook so that I can Slackintosh it and have a separate partition with my /home data?
[04:38] <paipimenta> !slackintosh
[04:38] <paipimenta> !hackintosh
[04:38] <Docteh> #slackware
[04:38] <Legendre> tried talking to ##slackware?
[04:38] <paipimenta> !lvm
[04:39] <paipimenta> I love bots
[04:39] <Legendre> I feel for anyone trying to run *nix on Mac
[04:39] <Legendre> it just seems unnatural
[04:39] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: so you're a robosexual?
[04:39] <xmnt> I'm trying to setup a virtualbox machine that will see the domains for my machine(i.e. I have a local domain - local.dev that I would like to see from VM)
[04:39] <xmnt> anyone know how
[04:39] <{Onyx}> I feel for anyone using a Mac, doesn't matter what they're trying to do with it.
[04:39] <xmnt> I've got a wireless router in front
[04:40] <Legendre> I had NetBSD running on a few SE30 around here, but that was like 1998
[04:40] <Legendre> {Onyx}: werd
[04:40] <KE7TMA> hi
[04:40] <KingNimrod> !hi | KE7TMA
[04:40] <Legendre> I really despise the Mac Way.
[04:40] <KE7TMA> does anybody know how to get the apple bluetooth mouse to work with ubuntu?
[04:40] <paipimenta> well, I'll tell you..... it's the best solution if you want to run Windows, Mac, and Linux.... until I'm less of a newbie
[04:40] <KE7TMA> it pairs just fine
[04:40] <kaitou> hmmm
[04:40] <KE7TMA> but then, decides not to work at all
[04:41] <kaitou> interesting
[04:41] <kaitou>  xD
[04:41] <KE7TMA> no clicks, no pointer movement, nothing
[04:41] <Legendre> Colleague of mine at work has one, any time I try to use it, it's just pure insanity
[04:41] <nanotube> KE7TMA: any messages in the system log when you plug it in? are you plugging in directly to a usb port in the comp, or through a usb hub or through a port on the keyboard or some such?
[04:41] <Legendre> I be making the wrong gestures on the trackpad.. windows go flying off into the whatever
[04:42] <kaitou> i have a question.. if someone can help me with the drivers of a tablet genius
[04:42] <foey> opps, just used apt-get autoremove - It removed my Gnome install on Ubuntu server
[04:42] <Docteh> nanotube: bluetooth as in wireless
[04:42] <Legendre> Piece. Of. Crap.
[04:42] <paipimenta> yeah.... double clicking the title bar minimizes it...
[04:42] <paipimenta> ??
[04:42] <Docteh> !bluetoothmouse
[04:42] <KE7TMA> no
[04:42] <Docteh> awwww
[04:42] <nanotube> Docteh: oh hahaha i kinda missed that part...
[04:42] <nanotube> !bluetooth
[04:42] <KE7TMA> the usb bluetooth dongle is plugged into the computer
[04:42] <KE7TMA> only thing on the usb bus
[04:42] <KE7TMA> yes
[04:42] <scott_ino2> is there a way to list all the topics ubottu knows
[04:42] <KE7TMA> my bluetooth keyboard works great
[04:43] <nanotube> !bot | scott_ino2
[04:43] <nanotube> scott_ino2: you can go to that factoids link, it lists all the contents
[04:43] <scott_ino2> nanotube, ty, was wondering if there was a way to do it within the chat ;-)
[04:43] <LogicFan> what is the best practice for networking ubuntu to other ubuntu machines?  nfs?
[04:43] <scott_ino2> like how hitting tab for names displays in the chat window but only you can see it
[04:44] <foey> Is there a IRC client for the terminal?
[04:44] <scott_ino2> nanotube, but i suppose there'd be wayyy too many topics
[04:44] <Docteh> foey: irssi is better than bitchx ;)
[04:44] <maco> foey: irssi?
[04:44] <foey> Thanks, ill try it now
[04:44] <KE7TMA> seems that there's a crapton of workarounds out there
[04:44] <nanotube> scott_ino2: indeed... but you could always do "search" to search for a topic.
[04:44] <KE7TMA> and oddly it pairs just fine
[04:44] <nanotube> search "bluetooth"
[04:44] <KingNimrod> foey: I second that vote for irssi
[04:44] <nanotube> !search "bluetooth"
[04:44] <KE7TMA> it just doesn't do anything
[04:45] <alabd> Which software can boot another linux that is installed on disk ?methinks virtualbox can not
[04:45] <nanotube> !search bluetooth
[04:45] <nanotube> scott_ino2: aha, no quotes
[04:45] <Docteh> alabd: whats the host OS?
[04:45] <scott_ino2> nanotube, good to know ;-)
[04:45] <gartral> alabd: you thinks wrong, that's one of a few..
[04:46] <paipimenta> irssi rocks my socks off
[04:46] <Docteh> I need a virtualizer that'll run on windows and boot my linux partition :-/
[04:46] <paipimenta> the other day, I was on lynx for the first time on tty1, irssi on tty2, and man on tty3, I was in heaven
[04:46] <nanotube> Docteh: virtualbox should do it...
[04:46] <scott_ino2> Docteh, virtualbox will
[04:46] <scott_ino2> bling
[04:46] <Docteh> kk
[04:46] <nanotube> paipimenta: no beating the cli
[04:47] <scott_ino2> Docteh, you do mean run a linux virtual machine from windows right
[04:47] <nanotube> !virtualbox
[04:47] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: have you tried terminator?
[04:47] <alabd> gartral: how to boot another linux with virtualbox ? is virtualbox best choice ?
[04:47] <xmnt> anyone know how to setup a bridged connection so I can see my server domains(i.e. local.domain, 127.0.0.1)
[04:47] <xmnt> I'm guessing that's what I need to setup
[04:47] <timClicks> none of my packages from apt-get seem to be verifying - where do i d/l the standard ubuntu apt-keys?
[04:48] <nanotube> Docteh: and of course, while ubottu's answer is geared towards installing vbox on ubuntu, there is vbox for windows hosts as well.
[04:48] <ksbalaji> I do not have a system>pref>display (the display option only) option. Help!
[04:48] <Docteh> yea im downloading it from the website
[04:48] <thiebaude> !vm
[04:48] <nanotube> ksbalaji: which version of ubuntu?
[04:48] <starenki> howto make net proxy settings that were made with gnome-network-properties effective immediately (without reboot)? init.d/networking restart does not make the effect
[04:49] <paipimenta> KingNimrod: terminator?
[04:49] <paipimenta> is it like Screen?
[04:49] <ksbalaji> nanotube, Linux viva100 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 17:04:53 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:49] <alabd> gartral: are you sure that vb can boot another linux is installed on hard ?how to boot another linux with virtualbox ? is virtualbox best choice ?
[04:49] <nanotube> ksbalaji: ehr... try running "cat /etc/issue" instead. that uname doesn't tell me the ubuntu version. :)
[04:49] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: kind of... it's an x terminal emulator with split screens and or tabs
[04:49] <nanotube> ksbalaji: though by kernel version, i'm guessing hardy
[04:50] <paipimenta> I still want to find out if lynx has multiple window feature like irssi does
[04:50] <paipimenta> anyone know?
[04:50] <gartral> alabd: some would sa y vb, others swear by vmware, but i forget how to get vb or vmware to boot from another partition..
[04:50] <{Onyx}> Ok, I was wrong. The mic is working just not in Wine and I can't turn down the volume level so that I can't hear the mic over the speakers
[04:50] <nanotube> ksbalaji: in which case... look in system -> prefs -> screen resolution
[04:50] <ksbalaji> nanotube, Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS \n \l
[04:50] <scott_ino2> alabd, define boot another linux .... what exactly are you trying to do
[04:50] <scott_ino2> ahh brb my fridge is apparently burning
[04:50] <nanotube> ksbalaji: yea, that's hardy.
[04:51] <LogicFan> !nfs
[04:51] <nanotube> scott_ino2: wtf?? :)
[04:51] <xmnt> anyone know how to setup a bridged connection so I can see my server domains(i.e. local.domain, 127.0.0.1) from my windows virtual machine
[04:51] <ksbalaji> nanotube, Ah! yes! I have screen resolution there! (two of them!?) Thanks.
[04:51] <Ben64> how can i edit what services run under which runlevels and stuff
[04:52] <alabd> scott_ino2 how to boot another linux that is installed on hard with virtualbox ?
[04:52] <nanotube> ksbalaji: np :)
[04:52] <foey> Using irssi now, is there anyway to change the terminal res?
[04:52] <jb_> hello
[04:52] <eross> is VRML still alive, or is there a new alternative? I'm looking at several 3d viewers
[04:52] <blueglasses> xmnt, why would you need a bridged connection to see that?
[04:52] <nanotube> Ben64: just look in the /etc/rcX.d directories and edit the links. or if you want a less manual solution, there is "sysv-rc-conf"
[04:52] <jb_> why would my comptuer be really slow when i'm using allot of my hard drive? such as extracting an archive?
[04:53] <KingNimrod> foey: are you using X?
[04:53] <Docteh> foey: you're in a console and not running irssi within like Gnome Terminal? maybe you can fiddle with the frame buffer
[04:53] <nanotube> Ben64: i think there's also a gui called "bum"
[04:53] <nanotube> !bum
[04:53] <Bluey> jb -- tar is NOT fast...
[04:53] <foey> KingNimrod : No not using X
[04:53] <Ben64> nanotube: thats the program i was looking for, thx
[04:53] <xmnt> blueglasses, I'm not sure what I need to setup
[04:53] <nanotube> Ben64: np :)
[04:54] <scott_ino2> alabd, not sure if that's possible. Can I ask why exactly you need to do that?
[04:54] <Docteh> jb_: the I/O actions are taking up the CPU
[04:54] <scott_ino2> im curious
[04:54] <scott_ino2> what it is you're trying to do
[04:54] <jb_> Docteh: but my cpu usage is low
[04:55] <awfulwaffle> does truecrypt only run under the nautilus file manager? currently running pcmanfm and thunar didnt work either
[04:55] <nanotube> jb_: 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] <Docteh> jb_: run top and see what percentage is being used for "wait" while you're untarring something
[04:55] <ksbalaji> nanotube, 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 sec
[04:56] <nanotube> ksbalaji: 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] <KingNimrod> foey: think that irssi just takes its size from the terminal you run it in.
[04:57] <alabd> scott_ino2 to know just how to do that
[04:57] <neeroze> can any one help me to fix my wirless problem
[04:57] <Legendre> Trying again.. ANYONE know about problems with creating new users under 9.04? I'm running into a number of problems / bugs..
[04:57] <alabd> scott_ino2 why do ask it?
[04:57] <neeroze> i cant use my wirless device
[04:57] <neeroze> hey guys help meout
[04:57] <Docteh> Legendre: how are you creating them?
[04:57] <foey> KingNimrod : Yeh, I've used Ctrl+F1 to bring up the console. It's not too bad, just used SuSE with a higher res console before.
[04:58] <Legendre> Docteh: via the users/groups applet
[04:58] <Bluey> legendre - how are you doing that?
[04:58] <scott_ino2> alabd, 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 perform
[04:58] <Bluey> oh sorry will butt out
[04:58] <Legendre> Docteh: Bluey: again, from the system's applet for users/groups
[04:58] <ksbalaji> nanotube, 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.
[04:59] <Legendre> Bluey: by any means, do not butt out..
[04:59] <Bluey> Legendre -- I've had no issues let me try now
[04:59] <scott_ino2> alabd, 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 boots
[04:59] <neeroze> hello ia ma waiting
[04:59] <Docteh> Legendre: I actually don't use the gui much, but theres only like 3 possible problems with new user accounts that are possible unless the gui is making some up
[04:59] <neeroze> i need help with my wirless problem
[04:59] <neeroze> hello heelo
[04:59] <leaf-sheep> ksbalaji: 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> Problem is, I can't create any new users unless I run the applet as sudo su root from a term
[05:00] <Legendre> (or modify any users, for that matter)
[05:00] <neeroze> guys help
[05:00] <Docteh> thats odd, there should be a sudo button on that applet
[05:00] <jb_> Docteh: tar is around 15-20% and i dont see "wait".
[05:00] <KingNimrod> foey: I see what you mean - I'm used to a framebuffered console too
[05:00] <Bluey> Legendre -- yup went system/admin/user and groups/  worked fine
[05:00] <neeroze> i need help to fix wirless problem
[05:00] <Docteh> Cpu(s):  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,100.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
[05:00] <starenki> howto make system network proxy settings effective without reboot? init.d/networking restart does not make the effect
[05:00] <neeroze> is therer any1 who is reading ths
[05:00] <Docteh> oh, "wa" i see
[05:00] <neeroze> helllo guys
[05:00] <jessie> I need some help with Grub issues,anybody available?
[05:01] <Legendre> Bluey: not here.. I was expecting it to beg me with a p/w window before it ran, but it didnt
[05:01] <alabd> scott_ino2 vawre can do that but virtual dont know , but vmware is not free
[05:01] <Docteh> starenki: proxy settings are application specific usually
[05:01] <Legendre> after that, all of the opts were greyed out
[05:01] <Bluey> Legendre - did you hit unlock?
[05:01] <Docteh> restart the app?
[05:01] <ksbalaji> leaf-sheep, thanks for the suggestion.  For not taking a risk of loosing data, Is an uprade better than a full install?
[05:01] <epaphus> Hello guys, how can I know if Foxconn A6VMX2-K MoBO is compatible with Ubuntu?  I know for a fact it isnt recognized in 8.10 (such as the lan nic)..
[05:01] <starenki> Docteh, I am using gnome-network-properties
[05:01] <foey> KingNimrod : Hey, is there anyway to bring up my console session on F1 within a window within X? F7 is currently running Gnome
[05:01] <Legendre> Bluey: unlock what/which?
[05:01] <epaphus> is it compatible in 9.04?
[05:01] <neeroze> hello
[05:01] <alabd> gartral: vmware is not free ,except vmware and vb any case esle ?
[05:01] <scott_ino2> alabd, id be interested to see how vmware actually handles "booting" physical OS installations. just seems odd
[05:01] <neeroze> iam having problem with my wireless can any one help me out
[05:02] <neeroze> a bit
[05:02] <jessie> I log in and it dies, sigh :-)
[05:02] <jb_> no wa catagory
[05:02] <scott_ino2> alabd, you can get a free vmware license by registering
[05:02] <Bluey> let me see if I can paste bin
[05:02] <neeroze> hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[05:02] <KingNimrod> foey: hang on just looking something up...
[05:02] <scott_ino2> or used to be able to at least
[05:02] <Docteh> scott_ino2: you set the file name to be something like \\Devices\Yaddayadda
[05:02] <nanotube> ksbalaji: try the newer version with a livecd first, make sure everything works. but yea, sticking with an LTS doesn't work for too long, as things get outdated/improved.
[05:02] <Docteh> for vmware that is
[05:02] <leaf-sheep> ksbalaji: In theory, it should be same.  However, I always resort to full clean installation than upgrading because I have the tendency to try new things/packages all times. ^^
[05:02] <elninja> ksbalaji, If you don't want to risk losing data, your best option is backing it up.

[05:02] <leaf-sheep> ksbalaji: There you go.  elninja said it all.  BACKUP YOUR DATA. :)
[05:03] <alabd> scott_ino2 another os is installed
[05:03] <starenki> Docteh, I am using gnome-network-properties and tick the option this will apply to the system. everything works fine but I have to reboot if I want change to direct connection
[05:03] <Docteh> really? try just restarting the apps that use the network
[05:03] <Bluey> nope only text
[05:03] <KingNimrod> foey: looks like grub needs to be altered to use the frame buffer in the virtual ttys
[05:03] <starenki> Docteh, this down't work for me
[05:03] <Bluey> let me run it up to my site
[05:03] <Docteh> starenki: what other than web browsers are you using with a proxy?
[05:03] <scott_ino2> alabd, yeah i realize that, just didnt know something like vmware supports doing that now
[05:03] <neeroze> docteh: can u help me
[05:03] <jb_> Docteh: in system monitor it says sync_page under wait
[05:04] <epaphus> Hello guys, how can I know if Foxconn A6VMX2-K MoBO is compatible with Ubuntu 9.04.. or where can I check?
[05:04] <foey> KingNimrod : Ahhh ok, will bookmark this and have a read through. Many thanks :-)
[05:04] <ksbalaji> Thanks friends and bye! I shall back up ( got to buy a bigger HDD first) and go for fresh install.
[05:04] <neeroze> hello
[05:04] <neeroze> hello
[05:04] <neeroze> hello
[05:04] <Docteh> neeroze: I can give out hints but I don't know more than that ;)
[05:04] <jb_> Docteh: either sync buffer sync page or 0
[05:04] <starenki> Docteh, any console app for instance
[05:04] <FloodBot3> neeroze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:04] <KingNimrod> foey: to answer your other question, I don't believe it's possible to view vt1 from X
[05:04] <foey> KingNimrod : OK, no problems. Just would of been nice :-)
[05:04] <Docteh> starenki: in console just fiddle with the environment variable that is set
[05:05] <neeroze> i mean my wireless service is disabled
[05:05] <Docteh> starenki: set |grep <nameofproxy>
[05:05] <gartral> alabd: vmware Player is free, but i donlt like VMware, i like VB, which has 2 free versions, the free closed source, and the open source one, you want the closed source one from sun's website
[05:05] <neeroze> is there any one using MSI CR400 model laptop
[05:05] <KingNimrod> foey: you're welcome - I'll be reading it too. Didn't realise framebuffer wasn't the default until you mentioned it.
[05:05] <neeroze> is there any one using MSI CR400 model laptop

[05:06] <maxxist> Off-topic question for the channel.  What is the state of ubuntu and EXT4?  Anyone using it?  are the performance gains worth it?  I am asking because I know there was some problems with ext4 before.  btw I am on jaunty.
[05:06] <kermit> maxxist: xfs will get you everything ext4 does
[05:06] <thiebaude> maxxist, use it know on 9.10
[05:06] <thiebaude> now
[05:06] <kermit> ext4 is playing catch-up with xfs
[05:07] <Docteh> neeroze: ubuntu does have a wiki with stuff like what laptop has what wireless card in it btw
[05:07] <foey> KingNimrod : Yeh, I was using SuSE 11.1 the other day and the console was running a higher res, text was a lot smaller and smoother.
[05:07] <starenki> Docteh, in the office I am using automated proxy script and not just single proxy
[05:07] <maxxist> kermit: is xfs available in ubuntu installer?
[05:07] <kermit> maxxist: yes
[05:07] <alabd> gartral:  so VB is downloading ,but how to boot another os from other partition ?
[05:07] <gartral> alabd: dont know
[05:07] <Docteh> foey: look up setting the framebuffer resolution, its a boot parameter and would go into the boot loader config file
[05:07] <gartral> alabd: ask in #virtualbox
[05:08] <Docteh> brb rebooting windows :D
[05:08] <alabd> gartral:  thanks
[05:08] <alabd> scott_ino2 thanks
[05:09] <foey> 
[05:09] <alabd> thanks everyone who helps others
[05:09] <scott_ino2> alabd, np... like i said you used to be able to get free vmware licenses for personal use
[05:09] <scott_ino2> not sure if they changed it
[05:10] <alabd> ok thanks
[05:10] <paipimenta> !dualboot
[05:10] <{Onyx}> Ok, this is annoying. Sound recorder recognizes my mic but Rosetta stone under wine isn't
[05:12] <maxxist> kermit: sorry new question.  xfs or zfs?
[05:12] <kermit> maxxist: i dont think zfs is a common option
[05:13] <{Onyx}> Think I'm just going to pull this x-fi card. A little better music quality isn't worth not having a microphone
[05:13] <maxxist> kermit: 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...
[05:15] <kermit> maxxist: 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 zfs
[05:16]  * gartral is still running ext3due to slow p/ata drives on his ubuntu comp
[05:17] <maxxist> kermit: 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] <kermit> maxxist: no, you dont do anyhting different than just picking it from the menu
[05:17] <maxxist> kermit:  ty
[05:17] <kermit> maxxist: err. if you already HAVE ext3 system, yeah you'd have to format
[05:17] <kermit> maxxist: i thought you meant on an install
[05:18] <maxxist> kermit: do you think the original ext4 kernel stability problems in ubuntu have been fixed?
[05:19] <kermit> maxxist: i dont know, i dont like the way its so many years behind though, i prefer something more proven
[05:19] <kermit> maxxist: yet that still has the featurse i want
[05:19] <maxxist> kermit agreed.
[05:19] <thiebaude> maxxist, in 30days ubuntu 9.10 is being released with ext4 by default
[05:20] <kermit> also i still found ext4 to be much more disk heavy than xfs in a little test of writing a bunch of different files at once
[05:20] <maxxist> thiebaude: so it must be fixed now.  at least in the next kernel...
[05:20] <mysteriousdarren> I hope so Im looking forward to trying it out anyway.
[05:20] <thiebaude> maxxist, i didn't think it was broke i used it in 9.04
[05:21] <maxxist> thiebaude: good to know.  thanx.
[05:21] <thiebaude> maxxist, np
[05:21] <flying_penguin> ext4 has been pretty stable for a while imo
[05:21] <mysteriousdarren> I heard from several people there were some stability issues
[05:21] <kermit> maxxist: xfs was made by SGI, who make high performance graphic systems for CGI effects in movies
[05:21] <flying_penguin> i would choose it over xfs really
[05:21] <thiebaude> flying_penguin, and its fast also
[05:22] <maxxist> kermit: yeah i read that on wikipedia.
[05:22] <LaveliDeara1> hlo
[05:22] <kermit> i dont know of anything ext4 does that xfs hasnt done for 6 years now
[05:22] <flying_penguin> but changing from ext3 to somthing new would be a huge headache if you want to keep your data
[05:22] <kermit> flying_penguin: yeah not worth switching
[05:22] <kermit> maxxist: are you switching or talking about a new install/?
[05:22] <thiebaude> how many years has ext been around?
[05:22] <LaveliDeara1> my have issues with sound
[05:23] <maxxist> kermit: i am thinking about just switching.  there is pages that describe doing the conversion.  without formatting.
[05:23] <mysteriousdarren> would you be able to use say ext3 to transfer to a ext4 external hard drive and be safe?
[05:23] <user_> vigiiiiii
[05:23] <kermit> maxxist: oh thast not worth it really
[05:24] <maxxist> kermit: why not?  would it not achieve the same in the end?
[05:24] <flying_penguin> maxxist: the best way to do it if you really want to is offload your data, reformat, then bring it all back
[05:24] <maxxist> yeah just so much work.  plus I dont have a backup drive with enough space.
[05:24] <LaveliDeara1> I 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 music
[05:25] <LaveliDeara1> can anyone point me how to check what happened ?
[05:25] <flying_penguin> if 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 0
[05:26] <flying_penguin> its not fun and there is a good chance you will lose some data anyway
[05:27] <maxxist> flying_penguin: think i will stick with ext3 for a little while.  until i can find a cheap backup solution.
[05:28] <mysteriousdarren> what do u mean cheap? how much do u need? space?
[05:29] <iboy1011> hi
[05:29] <Axess_Denied> yo
[05:29] <iboy1011> hello Axess
[05:29] <iboy1011> I came here cause i can't get ubuntu to run on my laptop
[05:29] <Axess_Denied> <----- Curious about Koala and PulsAduio issues
[05:30] <Axess_Denied> What problems are you having iboy?
[05:30] <iboy1011> I have ubuntu installed on a usb drive and I can't boot from it
[05:30] <iboy1011> with my laptop
[05:31] <Axess_Denied> Have you told your system bios to boot from USB?
[05:31] <iboy1011> How do I do that?
[05:31] <Axess_Denied> What kind of laptop do you have?
[05:31] <ajhtiredwolf> iboy1011, right after the initial post screen usually you can press esc or f12 and a boot menu will come up
[05:31] <iboy1011> It is a Hp pavilion
[05:31] <Raydiation> when can we expect beta of karmic?
[05:32] <thiebaude> Raydiation, Oct 1 thursday
[05:32] <botux> good evening all
[05:32] <Axess_Denied> I think as aj pointed out your option is F12
[05:32] <flying_penguin> iboy1011: 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 on
[05:32] <Raydiation> thiebaude: k thx, in this case im waiting with downloading^^
[05:32] <ajhtiredwolf> flying_penguin, should work
[05:32] <iboy1011> The usb drive works on my school's computers
[05:32] <thiebaude> Raydiation, im eagerly waiting for alot of updates then
[05:33] <iboy1011> I'll try the 'esc' button
[05:33] <gartral> flying_penguin iboy1011 it WILL if you install LiLo too the usb drive!
[05:33] <iboy1011> I'll come back if that doesn't work
[05:33] <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 HDMI
[05:33] <ajhtiredwolf> iboy1011, 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 usb
[05:34] <flying_penguin> gartral: personaly i can't stand lilo but i think you are right
[05:34] <Axess_Denied> the other option is to enter bios and change your boot priority there
[05:34] <gartral> flying_penguin: it's easier to install than GRUB2
[05:34] <wahnfrieden> hi
[05:35] <wahnfrieden> hy
[05:35] <Axess_Denied> Güten Tag wahnfrieden!
[05:35] <wahnfrieden> help me out
[05:35] <wahnfrieden> Axess_Denied: WTF?
[05:35] <LaveliDeara1> hey guys, how can I determine what is the problem with my audio playback ?
[05:35] <flying_penguin> lilo is anchent i definatly prefer gurb (pardon my spelling)
[05:35] <golem_> gurb is great
[05:35] <botux> hey guys im getting an error when i click the red arrow at the top to update packages
[05:35] <Axess_Denied> Your nick appears German, what help do you need
[05:36] <{Onyx}> Sweet, think I got it. Had to switch to OSS in wine.
[05:36] <wahnfrieden> Axess_Denied: I wanna put UBUNTU into my car management system
[05:36] <wahnfrieden> I have a Volkswagen and an Opel

[05:37] <Axess_Denied> That is a great project
[05:37] <wahnfrieden> paipimenta: id like to visit nice, that where your from?
[05:37] <{Onyx}> yes
[05:38] <paipimenta> no, I am from California...
[05:38] <paipimenta> but I think it's nice that you are putting Ubuntu on your car
[05:38] <Raydiation> i guess he meatn niece
[05:38] <Axess_Denied> c'mon a VW and an Opel? Are you kidding me? I'd claim German...
[05:38] <wahnfrieden> my niece
[05:38] <paipimenta> I am way too chicken and noob to slackware my car
[05:38] <wahnfrieden> Axess_Denied: ???/
[05:38] <wahnfrieden> theyre cars
[05:39] <Axess_Denied> Really? Like a Ferrarri is a bird?
[05:39] <Flannel> wahnfrieden: Please stop, you were given an answer earlier.
[05:39] <Axess_Denied> Or like a Trabi?
[05:39] <thiebaude> !offtopic
[05:39] <tehbaut> how can I showthe hd(x,y) vale for my drives?
[05:39] <tehbaut> or is it sda=hd(0,x), sdc=hd(2,x) ... ?
[05:39] <Flannel> tehbaut: That's correct.
[05:39] <LaveliDeara1> Axess_Denied: die rose die lilie die taube die sonne can you help me determine what problem I have with sound ? :))
[05:40] <Axess_Denied> Lavel, what problems are you having?
[05:40] <LaveliDeara1> I hope find help here to get it
[05:40] <krang> Hey all, what's the best package for having virtualised WinXP-in-a-window on my desktop? I'm currently looking at virtualbox
[05:40] <LaveliDeara1> how can I check what's not correct with my audio  ?
[05:40] <wahnfrieden> WHERE DO I CLICK
[05:40] <krang> I'd like something easy
[05:41] <Axess_Denied> VBOX rules, krang
[05:41] <KingNimrod> krang: I'd go with vbox...
[05:41] <Flannel> wahnfrieden: For what?
[05:41] <wahnfrieden> make sure you get the non-open source VBOX
[05:41] <wahnfrieden> otherwise some features are disabled
[05:41] <krang> KingNimrod,
[05:41] <iboy1011> Hello, I'm back
[05:41] <wahnfrieden> Flannel: which buttton
[05:41] <krang> KingNimrod: What do you find is better than VMware or quemu about it?
[05:41] <Axess_Denied> What are you talking about, wahnfrieden?
[05:42] <wahnfrieden> Axess_Denied: I cant read what youve said to me
[05:42] <iboy1011> The still can't boot from the usb drive with my laptop
[05:42] <KingNimrod> krang: ease of use
[05:42] <flying_penguin> krang: alot of ppl i know swere by vmware if you want to go full F/OSS i like zen but its not easy to configure
[05:42] <iboy1011> I still can't boot from the usb drive with my laptop
[05:42] <wahnfrieden> krang, is that the japanese name for that new c++ compiler
[05:42] <KingNimrod> krang: and features - 3d is good
[05:42] <Axess_Denied> krang: I also like that with Vbox you can boot multiple Vms and allow them each different priorities ovver your host system
[05:43] <Axess_Denied> Thank you Flannel
[05:43] <krang> Hmmm, 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_Denied> iboy: what did you try when you rebooted your laptop?
[05:43] <krang> VirtualBox it is! Thanks all!
[05:43] <iboy1011> I tried pressing 'esc' and 'f12'
[05:43] <tehbaut> anyone know if theres a shortcut like ctrl+alt+[+/-] for temporary zooming of the mouse region?
[05:44] <thiebaude> iboy1011, try f2
[05:44] <KingNimrod> tehbaut: do you use compiz?
[05:44] <iboy1011> f12 didn't do anything. 'esc' only brought up some information
[05:44] <{Onyx}> Cool got everything working great with speakers running through my x-fi card and mic through onboard
[05:44] <Axess_Denied> Why don't we give him the URL to the HP Pavillion BIOS walkthrough?
[05:44] <Axess_Denied> That might be a better idea...
[05:44] <{Onyx}> What was the question?
[05:44] <cvandyke> Hi all
[05:44] <{Onyx}> I know HP BIOS well
[05:44] <KingNimrod> tehbaut: if you do there is an exellent zoom feature
[05:44] <cvandyke> does anyone here have experience loading tclkit in 9.04?
[05:45] <thiebaude> {Onyx}, what is the f-key to enter bios setup?
[05:45] <{Onyx}> f-10
[05:45] <thiebaude> iboy1011, f10
[05:45] <{Onyx}> f-9 when inside to load setup defaults and f-10 again to exit saving
[05:45] <tehbaut> KingNimrod: how cpu/gpu intensive is it?
[05:46] <KingNimrod> tehbaut: not very AFAIK
[05:46] <tehbaut> I'm running an Intel Atom/Nvidia Ion
[05:46] <Axess_Denied> iboy: try this URL http://www2.mustek.com/support/techdocs/bios.html
[05:46] <Axess_Denied> this should tell you how to enter bios
[05:46] <tehbaut> apt-get install compiz then?
[05:47] <flying_penguin> tehbaut: compiz is pretty cumbersom imo
[05:47] <{Onyx}> O yeah, iboy. You have to start tapping f-10 as soon as you hit the power button or you'll miss it
[05:47] <Axess_Denied> you need to change your boot priority from CD-Rom or Hard Drive as the first option to USB or External Drive
[05:47] <flying_penguin> and (mostly) useless
[05:47] <tehbaut> btw, half of these screensavers run at poor framerates
[05:47] <tehbaut> is 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 crazy
[05:47] <Axess_Denied> Guys the HP BIOS is listed as F1, not F2, or F10 or Fme
[05:47] <{Onyx}> I'd trust me over what you're reading.
[05:48] <iboy1011> The link is not working for me
[05:48] <Axess_Denied> Why?
[05:48] <botux> hey guys im getting an error when i try to update packages by clicking the red arrow at the top of the screen can you assist
[05:48]  * {Onyx} spends 8 hours a day dealing with HP computers. 
[05:49] <Axess_Denied> iboy: 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_Denied> Onyx: I'm sorry for you
[05:49] <iboy1011> Ok, I'll come back when that doesn't work
[05:49] <{Onyx}> Me too.
[05:50] <Axess_Denied> I spent about 8 hours a day messing with Tor and Privaxy... then I gave up because I see no use
[05:51] <botux> hey guys im getting an error when i try to update packages by clikcing the red down arrow at the top of the screen
[05:51] <Axess_Denied> Hey botux: what error are you getting?
[05:51] <cvandyke> does 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_Denied> Did you take it?
[05:51] <{Onyx}> But I would have to move to Arkansas
[05:52] <Axess_Denied> Arkansas!?! Gee golly...
[05:52] <Axess_Denied> Hey, they do have some NICE hot springs
[05:52] <cvandyke> raise plus lower cost of living... wow
[05:52] <{Onyx}> Yeah, they've figured out us Midwesterners are as exploitable as Indians
[05:52] <Don_Miguel> I liked Arkansas
[05:52] <Axess_Denied> in this 'economic climate'
[05:52] <tehbaut> is vnc built in? I only see remote desktop...
[05:52] <Axess_Denied> Where are you now?
[05:52] <{Onyx}> Missouri
[05:52] <Axess_Denied> I lived in STL
[05:53] <{Onyx}> When I move I'm going back to a major metro area, not another redneck state
[05:53] <cvandyke> yeah, I work for an indian company (not indian)
[05:53] <Axess_Denied> I am in DC now!
[05:53] <cvandyke> <Texas
[05:53] <{Onyx}> I'd love to move to DC
[05:53] <cvandyke> yee haw and all that
[05:53] <oldboy> do you work at TCS?
[05:53] <Axess_Denied> Indian like sitthing bull or ghandi?
[05:53] <cvandyke> me?
[05:53] <{Onyx}> I'd get my A+ certs and crap but I'd just be more overqualified for my current job.
[05:53] <Axess_Denied> yessir
[05:54] <{Onyx}> IT around here sucks.
[05:54] <cvandyke> I left TCS in January
[05:54] <Flannel> Hey guys, you mind moving the non-support conversations to #ubuntu-offtopic? Thanks
[05:54] <cvandyke> sorry Flannal
[05:54] <Axess_Denied> our bad
[05:54] <Flannel> cvandyke: No worries, just a friendly reminder
[05:55] <{Onyx}> I need to head to bed anyway. Have to be up for work in 6 hours.
[05:55] <shentino> Anyone have problem with the numpad while using a PS/2 keyboard?
[05:55] <{Onyx}> Do you have numlock enabled?
[05:55] <shentino> yes
[05:55] <{Onyx}> I'm using PS2 keyboard just fine.
[05:56] <Axess_Denied> What is your mouse using?
[05:56] <shentino> I installed jaunty while I had a USB keyboard.  When it bit the dust I started using a PS/2
[05:56] <shentino> Mouse is on USB
[05:56] <shentino> the numpad only works at the login screen, then stops working
[05:56] <botux> Axess_Denied its rather large should i use pastebin?
[05:56] <flying_penguin> shentino: i once spilled mt dew all over mine but i never found the config file that could fix that
[05:57] <Axess_Denied> botux: does it give you a general description?
[05:57] <{Onyx}> What a horrible waste of caffeine
[05:57] <shentino> they 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 sad
[05:57] <botux> kinda i cnat understand it
[05:57] <Axess_Denied> Have youtried toggling the numlock just to refresh after login?
[05:57] <gartral> shentino: hit NumLock...
[05:57] <shentino> Ax:  Yes
[05:57] <shentino> gar:  did that already
[05:58] <shentino> numlock off and the "arrow" keys do diddly
[05:58] <gartral> !tab | shentino
[05:58] <botux> Axess_Denied well its acting like it might work now lol
[05:58] <shentino> numlock on and the numbers do squat
[05:58] <shentino> onyx:  let me double check...
[05:58] <shentino> The keyboard layout is an exact match...even right down to the vendor and style.
[05:59] <Axess_Denied> botux: always remeber to use ':-$ sudo' for apt-get and make sure you do upgrades as a user with those permissions or use fakeroot
[05:59] <{Onyx}> Try w/o the mouse connected?
[05:59] <flying_penguin> shentino: the kernel is pretty good at handeling keyboards now-a-days the problem is probably that it is broken but new keyboard are pretty cheap
[06:00] <{Onyx}> Na, his keyboard works at the login
[06:00] <Axess_Denied> flying-penguin: he says it works in login screen?
[06:00] <Axess_Denied> It may be a driver issue.... Have you checked your config?
[06:00] <shentino> Yeah, where it prompts me fur username and password
[06:00] <flying_penguin> shentino: the numlock works at login?
[06:00] <flying_penguin> or numpad
[06:01] <shentino> Axess_Denied: be more specific.  What config in particular?
[06:01] <shentino> fp:  yes
[06:01] <shentino> I can type digits and use the numpad arrows
[06:01] <Axess_Denied> checking... 1moment
[06:01] <tehbaut> I cannot seem to connect to my ubuntu machine via VNC
[06:01] <flying_penguin> shentino: what wm are you using?
[06:01] <tehbaut> common issues?
[06:01] <shentino> It could be kernel config, keyboard layout config, something in the Xorg.conf
[06:01] <shentino> gnome
[06:01] <flying_penguin> if it is gnome or kde i would guess that is messing with the configuration
[06:02] <Axess_Denied> shentino: what distro are you using
[06:02] <shentino> jaunty
[06:02] <{Onyx}> Hmm, under keyboard prefs look and see if keyboard controls mouse is enabled
[06:02] <shentino> vanilla install from the official CD
[06:02] <shentino> Onyx: how suspicious...the numpad moved my pointer!
[06:02] <botux> Axess_Denied not sure where to do that once i clcik red arrow and update manager comes up
[06:03] <shentino> Onyx:  FIXED
[06:03] <{Onyx}> Yeah, go to keyboard prefs and under mouse keys disable it
[06:03] <flying_penguin> there should be some kind of keyboard controll in the administration section of the gnome menu. that is where i would start
[06:03] <{Onyx}> Google FTW!
[06:03] <Axess_Denied> System > Preferences >Keyboard (default)
[06:03] <shentino> That 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_penguin> shentino: it was a wm issue then
[06:03] <flying_penguin> ?
[06:04] <shentino> I suppose
[06:04] <shentino> the config was wrong.
[06:04] <botux> axess_Denied it keeps saying some of the packages couldn't be retrieved from the server
[06:04] <shentino> Though how in tarnation that option got set in the first place is beyond me
[06:04] <Axess_Denied> That may happen, are you doing a distro upgrade?
[06:05] <flying_penguin> shentino: ubuntu auto-configures a lot of stuff. theres plenty of room for bugs
[06:05] <mgmuscari> hey, i have a question about resizing partitions...
[06:05] <botux> Axess_Denied no just updating programs and apps that its telling me to update
[06:05] <Axess_Denied> ...?
[06:05] <{Onyx}> mgm be sure to back up all your stuff before you mess with partitions.
[06:06] <flying_penguin> mgmuscari: im sorry
[06:06] <mgmuscari> let'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] <balsaq> treid to dual myself today but didnt work
[06:06] <Axess_Denied> botux: double check your repositories (first) allow for third party and what not
[06:06] <mgmuscari> hm
[06:07] <botux> Axess_Denied how do it do that?
[06:07] <mgmuscari> maybe i can put my swap there
[06:07] <mgmuscari> ugh
[06:07] <mgmuscari> these being logical partitions doesn't help
[06:07] <flying_penguin> mgmuscari: you should be able to resize a logical partition into freespace wherever it is
[06:07] <Legendre> Hey, I have a question.. Why was the Klansman wearing a pink robe?
[06:07] <mgmuscari> it probably isn't safe to unmount /home...
[06:08] <mgmuscari> i guess i'll have to use a live cd or something
[06:08] <kermit> if it lets you, it's safe
[06:08] <Axess_Denied> nah, I wouldn't
[06:08] <Legendre> he forgot to separate his whites from his colors.
[06:08] <kermit> it wouldnt let you if you were using it
[06:08] <flying_penguin> Legendre: he probably washed it in the same load with his confederate flag
[06:08] <mgmuscari> hm
[06:08] <mgmuscari> brb
[06:08] <botux> Axess_Denied how do i do that
[06:08] <Axess_Denied> Well, in gdm he would be using it, right?
[06:08] <Legendre> flying_penguin: almost
[06:09] <kermit> Axess_Denied: i doubt gdm would be using any users' files who arent logged in
[06:10] <botux> Axess_Denied here is a pastebin example of an error i get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/281864/
[06:10] <iboy1011> Hi I'm back. I tried changing the boot order with 'f10' but my laptop still freezes after I plug my usb memory stick in
[06:10] <botux> Axess_Denied i get several of these errors for different programs
[06:11] <Axess_Denied> botux: here you are https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[06:11] <{Onyx}> iboy, when are you plugging it in?
[06:11] <iboy1011> Before I turn on the laptop
[06:11] <{Onyx}> When does it freeze?
[06:12] <{Onyx}> After the HP invent screen?
[06:12] <Axess_Denied> Did you create a bootable USB drive in your other OS?
[06:12] <iboy1011> When I see some options on the bottom of the screen like esc = information, f1 =...
[06:12] <Axess_Denied> The USB drive has to be configured with the iso to allow it to autorun from BIOS
[06:12] <iboy1011> Yea, I created it in my other OS
[06:13] <tehbaut> I cannot seem to connect to my ubuntu machine via VNC (using System > Preferences > Remote Desktop) ... are there any useful troubleshooting tips for debugging this?
[06:13] <Axess_Denied> Did you just drag and drop or did you create a bootable version?
[06:13] <iboy1011> I created a bootable version
[06:13] <Axess_Denied> k
[06:13] <{Onyx}> Is USB boot enabled in BIOS?
[06:14] <iboy1011> I don't remember seeing that option
[06:14] <{Onyx}> It's in there.
[06:14] <Axess_Denied> Under BOOT or BOOT PRIORITY on the top of the screen (usually)
[06:16] <iboy1011> Ok, I'll try to find it.
[06:16] <flying_penguin> iboy1011: 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 works
[06:16] <tehbaut> so no one knows any vnc troubleshooting tips?
[06:16] <MrHellmund> is there any wiki editing software from gnome?
[06:16] <iboy1011> Ok
[06:17] <r2wj1> What's the easiest way to share files between linux machines?
[06:17] <incentifit> Is it possible to execute a command as a particular user without logging in as that user?  For example, I'm thinking of sudo cp somefile tosomefile, but instead, someotheruser cp somefile tosomefile
[06:17] <balsaq> i heard there is a specific type of ubuntu that is designed to make online videos play correctly right off the bat? anyone know the name of that ubuntu or has antone tried it?
[06:17] <kermit> r2wj1: nfs
[06:17] <r2wj1> Can I set that up with no terminal stuff?
[06:17] <r2wj1> I don't mind the terminal, but my roommate is a newbie
[06:17] <r2wj1> and he wants to share our files
[06:17] <r2wj1> He loves netbook remix
[06:18] <flying_penguin> r2wj1: woof is pretty simple
[06:18] <KingNimrod> incentifit: su username cp file1 file2 ?
[06:18] <flying_penguin> if you like the terminal netcat is awsome
[06:18] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: just dl Adobe Flash Player and uninstall swfc
[06:18] <kermit> r2wj1: you might want the 'soft' option for what you're probably using nfs for
[06:18] <r2wj1> what is woof?
[06:18] <crackintosh> does anyone still have crappy hd flash video with an nvidia card?
[06:19] <r2wj1> I normally use sshfs for my personal stuff
[06:19] <Axess_Denied> It will work in Ubuntu - Kubuntu and Xubuntu also
[06:19] <flying_penguin> woof is a simple web server for one off file transfers http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/woof.html
[06:19] <paipimenta> I want to insert a tab at the command line
[06:19] <r2wj1> But I want a really point and click friendly file sharing system
[06:19] <paipimenta> is there a way besides pushing Tab?
[06:19] <leaf-sheep> r2wj1: giver ?
[06:19] <leaf-sheep> !info giver | r2wj1
[06:19] <r2wj1> flying_penguin: unfortunatley, that is not quite suitable
[06:19] <Axess_Denied> r2wj1: try dropbox
[06:19] <balsaq> i di the adobe..the one made for ubuntu but when i play youtube the videos plays slow and the nusic gets done before the video is over?
[06:19] <flying_penguin> nfs is better for a more perminate solution
[06:19] <r2wj1> Well that's what I'm after
[06:19] <r2wj1> He wants to access the media server downstairs
[06:20] <r2wj1> (both are ubuntu)
[06:20] <Axess_Denied> If you have media server try media tomb
[06:20] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: you could use the space bar several times in a row ;p
[06:20] <r2wj1> er, when I say media server
[06:20] <flying_penguin> but woof or netcat are great for transfering a singe file. scp is probably my favorite though but for that you need to be able to login to the remote machene
[06:20] <r2wj1> I mean.. it's a debian box with a big harddrive
[06:20] <paipimenta> I'm in rescue mode, no filesystems mounted, I'm editing /etc/fstab
[06:20] <Axess_Denied> try media tomb
[06:20] <r2wj1> it's not actually running services on it yet.. that's why I'm here
[06:20] <Axess_Denied> It usue upnp
[06:20] <balsaq> Axcess_Denied: did the adobe d-load for ubuntu
[06:21] <r2wj1> !info media-tomb | r2wj1
[06:21] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: ubninstall swfc - it blocks much of the flash content and freaks out adobe
[06:21] <Axess_Denied> Yes it does.
[06:21] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: IIRC any whitespace will be ignored when the file is parsed
[06:21] <Axess_Denied> Go to add/remove programs and open up you multiverses
[06:21] <Axess_Denied> media tomb is there
[06:21] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: ok is that how it is listed in my add remove...swfe?
[06:22] <Axess_Denied> Then google it for proper configuration-they have a good wiki
[06:22] <r2wj1> ta muchly
[06:22] <paipimenta> I'm on my Ubuntu desktop, rescue mode
[06:22] <paipimenta> I can't use vi, it's not loaded?
[06:22] <paipimenta> I need to add a line to /etc/fstab
[06:22] <paipimenta> with echo
[06:23] <Flannel> paipimenta: vim is installed by default, (although it's vim-tiny).  nano is too.
[06:23] <flying_penguin> r2wj1: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/ <-- in depth guide to setting up nfs (It's not hard if you want a simple setup)
[06:23] <paipimenta> Flannel: I booted with my install CD in rescue mode, nothing mounted
[06:23] <Flannel> paipimenta: but, to use echo, you'd use: `echo "whatever" >> /etc/fstab` in your recovery console.
[06:23] <paipimenta> in "whatever", i need tab delimited text
[06:23] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: make sure GNASH SWF Viewer is unistalled and also Swfdec Flash player
[06:24] <Flannel> paipimenta: No, you can use spaces just fine
[06:24] <paipimenta> when I push tab however, it uses the auto-complete function to clear the beginning quote of "whatever"
[06:24] <paipimenta> Flannel: cool
[06:24] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: looking in my add/remove file now thanks
[06:24] <KingNimrod> paipimenta: \t is the escape char for tab, I think
[06:24] <DigitalKiwi> yes
[06:24] <Flannel> paipimenta: But, if you want to use tab, you'd need to do echo -e "foo\tfoo\tfoo\tfoo"
[06:24] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: just type in flah in the search bar
[06:25] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: yes did it, shows adobe and movie player
[06:25] <Axess_Denied> *flash
[06:25] <Axess_Denied> That is all?
[06:25] <balsaq> yes
[06:25] <Axess_Denied> hmmm
[06:25] <balsaq> i am on 904
[06:26] <balsaq> ubuntu
[06:26] <paipimenta> I don't see the -e option in man echo
[06:26] <balsaq> was flash supposed to pull up the others too
[06:26] <Axess_Denied> Do you have the dropdown that says all available applications on the left? or just installed applications?
[06:26] <paipimenta> that's because it's a builtin?
[06:26] <DigitalKiwi>  -e     enable interpretation of backslash escapes
[06:26] <DigitalKiwi> maybe my man is better
[06:27] <KingNimrod> DigitalKiwi: Meow! :)
[06:27] <DigitalKiwi> nimrod was a beast
[06:28] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: went back, clicked on all, put in the word flash and 3 came up now (media came in now with them)
[06:28] <KingNimrod> DigitalKiwi: I never said he wasn't
[06:28] <paipimenta> so would echo -e '/dev/volgroup/logvol\t/home\text3\tdefaults\t0\t0' would be fine?
[06:28] <paipimenta> or do I need double quotes?
[06:28] <paipimenta>  all >> /etc/fstab
[06:28] <Flannel> paipimenta: no, single qoutes is fine
[06:28] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: in the upper-left there is a dropdown, it has options for which universes it is looking at. selest all available applications
[06:29] <DigitalKiwi> why does nano not work for this? :/
[06:29] <flying_penguin> Flannel: no single quotes will literealy interperit the string paipimenta: you need double quotes
[06:29] <Flannel> flying_penguin: no, bash isn't PHP
[06:30] <DigitalKiwi> echo -e '/dev/volgroup/logvol\t/home\text3\tdefaults\t0\t0'                                                                                                                   (09-30 00:30)
[06:30] <DigitalKiwi> /dev/volgroup/logvol	/home	ext3	defaults	0	0
[06:30] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: yes, i did ALL, installed programs, then typed in flash, then it shows 3 of em
[06:30] <DigitalKiwi> the I are proof
[06:30] <balsaq> do want the ones that are not installed too
[06:30] <flying_penguin> Flannel: oh, your right echo dosnt literaly interperit the sting
[06:30] <Flannel> flying_penguin: Only with -e
[06:30] <flying_penguin> i just tryed it
[06:30] <flying_penguin> but it should
[06:30] <flying_penguin> oh well
[06:31] <Axess_Denied> what are you using for a/c?
[06:31] <Axess_Denied> *a/v?
[06:31] <DigitalKiwi> you are right on a general concept of single quotes but not in this instance ;p
[06:31] <flying_penguin> im used to writing C
[06:32] <flying_penguin> but really echo should follow the standard
[06:32] <balsaq> Axess_denied: ok got it now...lot of em in there under flash
[06:32] <balsaq> so get rid of the 3 you mentioned
[06:32] <balsaq> ?
[06:32] <flying_penguin> sed and grep properly phrase quoted stings
[06:33] <Axess_Denied> If they are clicked (check mark) remove them
[06:33] <Axess_Denied> Keep Flash Player 10
[06:34] <balsaq> Access_Denied: i am total dork newbie...when i uncheck them will the completetly disapper or will the still be in there but just unchecked, in case i need them later?
[06:34] <darksmac> hey guys just because i think it would be funny is there any music players from command line
[06:34] <emergion> I have dual monitor set up and wondering if anyone has figured out a way to get a differrent wallpaper for each monitor under ubuntu running gnome? Each monitors have a serperate resolution
[06:34] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: yes
[06:34] <ZykoticK9> darksmac, music123
[06:34] <flying_penguin> darksmac: mplayer is the only meadia player i use
[06:34] <DigitalKiwi> ncmpcpp+mpd is the best
[06:35] <flying_penguin> or rather the one i use the most
[06:35] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: cool !! he
[06:35] <mysteriousdarren> I have a more complicated question....what is a good debugger, compiler for programming in C++?
[06:35] <DigitalKiwi> http://omploader.org/vMjgyag
[06:35] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: im trying to force myself to use only command line because of my new server
[06:35] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: they will stay there unchecked
[06:35] <DigitalKiwi> get htop
[06:35] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: if i uncheck then will their names still appear in there incase i want them back someday?
[06:35] <lstarnes> mysteriousdarren: the de facto standards are gdb for debugging with valgrind for profiling and gcc/g++ for c and c++ compiling
[06:36] <DigitalKiwi> that is the program in the top of that screen
[06:36] <Axess_Denied> They are in the repository, they will be there in the future
[06:36] <balsaq> Axcess_Denied: ok thanks my screen doesnt always roll up leaving me out of it for a moment thanks
[06:36] <flying_penguin> darksmac: deffinatly love the command line number 1 thing to do is learn to use gnu screen
[06:36] <lstarnes> mysteriousdarren: those are cli utlilties though, not full IDEs
[06:36] <balsaq> so i will just do the 3
[06:36] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: were they checked?
[06:37] <balsaq> looking
[06:37] <Axess_Denied> if not... you may have a driver issue. What kind of graphics card do youuse?
[06:37] <mysteriousdarren> what about kdevelop?
[06:37] <oddity> Has anyone compiled Tomato for a linksys>
[06:37] <oddity> ?
[06:37] <DigitalKiwi> why would you need to compile it?
[06:38] <darksmac> flyingpenguin: im pretty good on it now finally learned how to use "tty" screens
[06:38] <balsaq> Axcess_Denied: the only ones that are checked are macro, adobe and movie
[06:38] <oddity> you need to run make after you extract it
[06:38] <DigitalKiwi> gnu screen is awesome
[06:38] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: it may be a driver issue
[06:38] <darksmac> flyingpenguin: need more comfort knowing when to use sudo really trying to not sudo eerything
[06:38] <DigitalKiwi> i have tomato on my linksys i never had to compile anything...
[06:39] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: lil to complicated for me
[06:39] <oddity> you never had to run make on it? is it above 1.23?
[06:39] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: you use sudo only when you get permission denied ;)
[06:39] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: what graphics card do you have and what sound card?
[06:39] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: what's too complicated?
[06:39] <flying_penguin> darksmac: http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ its a pretty steep learning curve but once you get used to it you will wonder how you ever lived without it
[06:39] <Keiffer> hi. how can i make ssh to use files from other folder than ~/.ssh ? my /home get mounted AFTER i log in...
[06:39] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: iono how to even start screen
[06:39] <DigitalKiwi> basics of screen are simple
[06:40] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: can i dl it from aptget
[06:40] <sanchiro> how can I find the log file containing boot error messages, It flies by too fast during bootup, but I want to resolve any boot time issues. Where can I find this log file?
[06:40] <DigitalKiwi> ofc
[06:40] <lstarnes> darksmac: sudo apt-get install screen
[06:40] <paipimenta> when I'm at the most basic prompt in rescue mode (ls and such work), what editor can I use?
[06:40] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: 8mb ati and the sound was turtle neachmontego but when i wiped w98 clean and put in ubuntu i did not put the sound CD thing in, but my sound is great thru my altec lansings
[06:40] <Nimrod> sanchiro: look in /var/log
[06:40] <darksmac> DigitalKiwi: ok now say i wanted to start music 123 that i just dl
[06:41] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: I ran into SEVERE issues with my ATI HDMI setup, but my audio and video come through the same digital dat-stream
[06:41] <balsaq> Axcess_Denied: the only thing w98 did right on this puter was run youtube, so i know the puter itself can do it
[06:42] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: telling 'nix to do it is key though!
[06:42] <DigitalKiwi> screen program to start a program in it, or just screen then you are in it, ctrl+a d to detach, screen -R -D to reattach, ctrl+a + space/number/ctrl+a (to go to previous one) to change screen window, ctrl+a c to make a new window, uh...man screen for more
[06:42] <Axess_Denied> balsaq: can I pm you?
[06:42] <balsaq> Axess_Denied: sure
[06:43] <paipimenta> I'm in rescue mode and I've mounted my root at /mnt/lvroot... how do I find vi and run it manually? not being detected as a command in /bin/sh
[06:43] <paipimenta> gotta edit /grub/grub.conf
[06:43] <DigitalKiwi> didn't flannel say vim was installed by default?
[06:44] <paipimenta> omg
[06:44] <paipimenta> do you know what you're talking about or no?
[06:44] <sanchiro> Nimrod, any particular file I should examine? boot is empty.. bootstrap.log is populated, but it's not showing much..
[06:44] <DigitalKiwi> vim != vi
[06:44] <paipimenta> I am in a MINIMAL rescue mode prompt
[06:44] <flying_penguin> paipimenta: try /usr/bin/vi from command line. if that dosnt work try nano instead
[06:44] <Flannel> DigitalKiwi: It is.  vim-tiny anyway
[06:44] <paipimenta> DigitalKiwi: thanks for the clarification
[06:45] <DigitalKiwi> Flannel: what is vim-tiny?
[06:45] <sanchiro> Nimrod, would it be dmesg?
[06:45] <flying_penguin> I'll never understand why vim-tiny is packaged w/ ubuntu instead of vim-full
[06:45] <Flannel> DigitalKiwi: it's a stripped down version of vim, not much like vim at all
[06:45] <flying_penguin> that was a crappy desition
[06:45] <Nimrod> sanchiro: I was thinking of boot
[06:45] <Flannel> flying_penguin: just vim, not vim-full.  And because there's no reason for most people to have a full vim that they'll never use.
[06:45] <nomnex1> is it the place to ask for advice installing ubuntu on notebooks?
[06:46] <DigitalKiwi> Flannel: giggle, yet it comes by default with gnome ;D
[06:46] <flying_penguin> Flannel: theres no reason to put in a stripped down version when vim is already pretty small
[06:46] <paipimenta> so if root is mounted at /mnt/lvroot.... it'd be /mnt/lvroot/usr/bin/vi
[06:46] <Flannel> DigitalKiwi: not ubuntu-desktop though
[06:46] <flying_penguin> its not like the full version is going to swallow up much space
[06:46] <paipimenta> isn't vim and vi just the visual interface for an older tool?????
[06:46] <paipimenta> the exec prompt?
[06:47] <DigitalKiwi> Installed Size : 4936.00 K
[06:47] <DigitalKiwi> my vim
[06:47] <DigitalKiwi> dunno what ubuntus would be :/
[06:47] <flying_penguin> paipimenta: ed was the original text editor but vi was more than just a ed controller
[06:47] <paipimenta> when you push colon, that prompt is an old unix tool....
[06:47] <Nimrod> !ask | nomnex1
[06:47] <paipimenta> it wasn't ed, it was something else
[06:47] <Flannel> flying_penguin: vim is an extra 6.5MB
[06:48] <paipimenta> oh man, I deleted that O'Reilly vim book
[06:48] <flying_penguin> Flannel: thats less space than a mp3 of in-a-gadda-da-vitta
[06:48] <simonb_> hi guys... sorry if this Q is not quite ubuntu related... BUT: i'm tryin to expand my WEP protected wireless coverage with an AP under "repeater" mode... if i setup for the repeater other SSID, wireless area, that users can connect to, what happens with the "original WEP decryption" from the main AP?
[06:48] <Flannel> flying_penguin: You only get 700MB for the install CD, space is limited.
[06:48] <sanchiro> Nimrod, it says "nothing has been logged yet"
[06:48] <simonb_> do i need to use the same ancryption or what?
[06:49] <Nimrod> sanchiro: yeah, that's what mine says too - sorry.
[06:49] <Flannel> flying_penguin: That is, the Desktop CD
[06:49] <flying_penguin> if they are able to fit kde on some live cds then they could find space for vim
[06:49] <Flannel> flying_penguin: KDE goes in place of Gnome
[06:49] <flying_penguin> they are both bloted
[06:49] <Flannel> flying_penguin: Anyway, we've gotten offtopic, if you'd like to continue this discussion, I'd be glad to do so in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:50] <flying_penguin> Flannel: not a huge deal just blowing off some steam
[06:50] <chrome> woot, pidgin can connect to my corporate office communicator IM
[06:50] <paipimenta> Damn It was ex\
[06:50] <paipimenta> ex
[06:51] <flying_penguin> i cant tell you how many times i wanted vim when i was on an ubuntu livecd
[06:52] <nomnex1> sorry about it, Panasonic let's Note (notebook) CF-F8 or CF-F7, do all the functions works out of the box either with Ubuntu 9.04 or the future 9.10? I am currently on 9.04 on a older CF-W2 (year 2003). No FN key, Intel chipset problem, etc.
[06:52] <pallid> how many?
[06:52] <darksmac> any one in here got any experience setting wlan into ap mode
[06:53] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: if you're going to be in cli a lot zsh is awesome
[06:53] <darksmac>  zsh?
[06:54] <DigitalKiwi> alternative shell
[06:54] <DigitalKiwi> has much better tab completion and other perks over bash
[06:54] <DigitalKiwi> faster too iirc
[06:54] <darksmac> o0o0
[06:55] <darksmac> ok
[06:55] <darksmac> mebe ill try it
[06:55] <flying_penguin> bash has a much better context for scriping
[06:55] <darksmac> i just started playing with screen
[06:55] <darksmac> still getting used to it
[06:55] <mgmuscari> can anybody tell me what the deal with the following fsck output is:
[06:55] <darksmac> not bad though
[06:55] <mgmuscari> http://paste.ubuntu.com/281886/
[06:55] <pipegeek_> wonderful thing, screen
[06:55] <mgmuscari> all my partitions are clean and mounted...
[06:55] <flying_penguin> and bash can be configured to tab compleat just like zsh but i cant say i would want it it on my comp
[06:56] <Boohbah> flying_penguin: bash is in fact configured to tab-complete by default
[06:56] <DigitalKiwi> i doubt you can get every feature of zshs tab completion in bash, and even getting some of its defaults in bash would be hairy at best
[06:56] <Keiffer> guys, what key/keys do i need from ssh folders to use to connect from another machine?
[06:56] <Boohbah> DigitalKiwi: is zsh's tab-completion different from bash's?
[06:56] <nomnex1> nobody on a Sony/Thoshiba/Panasonic notebook here? I am curiouse if you can use FN keys, wireless and if you don't have trouble with graphic card
[06:56] <DigitalKiwi> Boohbah: yes
[06:56] <pipegeek> also I've grown fond of autocd
[06:57] <Keiffer> the host priv/pub key pair or the user pair?
[06:57] <Boohbah> Keiffer: .ssh/id_{d,r}sa.pub
[06:57] <Keiffer> Boohbah, I don't know why, but I am using the piravte key to connect
[06:57] <Boohbah> Keiffer: you accept the host key from the host the first time you connect, you authenticate using your personal public key
[06:57] <DigitalKiwi> http://friedcpu.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/zsh-the-last-shell-youll-ever-need/
[06:57] <DigitalKiwi> read that and be enlightened
[06:57] <Boohbah> Keiffer: copy the public key to the remote host
[06:58] <KoolD> hey guys just wanted to know something...if i press ctrl+z when a console application is running, does the application stop or is it just hidden in the background and keeps working?
[06:58] <darksmac> hto you reattach screen
[06:58] <DigitalKiwi> screen -R -D
[06:58] <pipegeek> KoolD: the application gets SIGSTOP
[06:58] <darksmac> o00
[06:58] <Keiffer> Boohbah, why can I still connect with the private key??
[06:58] <flying_penguin> KoolD: C+z freezes the process
[06:58] <Keiffer> on putty
[06:58] <pipegeek> which means it stops running until you background it (by typing 'bg') or bring it back into the foreground
[06:59] <DigitalKiwi> well there are several ways to reattach but that is the way a lot of people like best
[06:59] <flying_penguin> it is not running but can be resumed in the forground or the background
[06:59] <DigitalKiwi> including the author
[06:59] <mgmuscari> oh, i guess this is just an outdated /etc/fstab
[07:00] <Boohbah> Keiffer: the private key stays on your local machine
[07:00] <mgmuscari> i don't want to mount that partition anyway... problem solved
[07:00] <KoolD> fkying_penguin: is there a way to just hide the process in the background...or is there other way running ncurses applications from ssh using different pc's
[07:00] <darksmac> how do i completly exit it im accidently runniny 2 screen sessions at one time
[07:00] <sterlin> whats the latest 3gs 3.1 baseband?
[07:00] <pipegeek> darksmac, as in, one inside the other?
[07:00] <pipegeek> just ^D out of the inner one
[07:00] <flying_penguin> KoolD: if running the process from the comand line you can just issue the command with an & after it
[07:01] <mgmuscari> i just came up with an idea for something i want to do - take a small partition on my hdd and put DSL on it
[07:01] <flying_penguin> or you can Ctr-z then type bg to daemonize the program
[07:01] <darksmac> no 2 side by side i started one then detached then started another
[07:01] <mgmuscari> so that i can have a really fast boot time linux when i need it
[07:01] <mgmuscari> anybody else run a setup like that?
[07:01] <sterlin> Does anyone know?
[07:01] <mgmuscari> wondering how useful it actually is...
[07:01] <KoolD> flying_penguin: so typing bg... restarts the app
[07:01] <Boohbah> mgmuscari: no, but you can make any linux boot fast
[07:01] <mysteriousdarren> what exactly?
[07:02] <pipegeek> darksmac, well, to get rid of the one you're not attached to, open another terminal, type 'screen -ls' to list the running sessions, then "screen -x <session id>" to connect to the one you want
[07:02] <pipegeek> then just ^D out of it
[07:02] <sterlin> mysteriousdarren: what the latest 3gs baseband is
[07:02] <mgmuscari> sterlin: i think this is the wrong place to ask about iphone support... i did jailbreak 3.1 on my 3G last night, though
[07:02] <Boohbah> mgmuscari: http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/
[07:02] <flying_penguin> KoolD: it unfreezed the app in the background
[07:02] <darksmac> ok
[07:02] <flying_penguin> fg unfreezes it in the forground
[07:02] <sterlin> mgmuscari: oops my bad wrong channel
[07:02] <KoolD> flying_penguin: ok....thanks
[07:03] <mgmuscari> Boohbah: interesting article
[07:03] <darksmac> 1 last thing how to i close a bash window
[07:03] <darksmac> 1 screen like 4 "
[07:03] <DigitalKiwi> exit?
[07:03] <pipegeek> darksmac, 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] <mysteriousdarren> oh
[07:03] <darksmac> ok
[07:03] <pipegeek> darksmac, type 'exit' or hit control-d
[07:04] <flying_penguin> darksmac: exit will close out the term but you can just x out of the window and screen will keep the session running
[07:04] <DigitalKiwi> detach first
[07:05] <pipegeek> DigitalKiwi, is that strictly necessary?
[07:05] <darksmac> thats nice getting the hang o fit
[07:05] <darksmac> it
[07:05] <pipegeek> :)
[07:05] <DigitalKiwi> it's not necessary but you should
[07:05] <pipegeek> y zat
[07:05] <darksmac> now i need to work on my typing if imma be typing all day
[07:05] <pipegeek> hh
[07:05] <mgmuscari> if i just extract DSL to a small partition and point grub at it, do you think it would work? (anybody)
[07:05] <pipegeek> *heh
[07:05] <DigitalKiwi> mgmuscari: no
[07:06] <albertxiaoyu> I have a problem
[07:06] <mgmuscari> i mean the distrobution that they put on usb drives
[07:06] <mgmuscari> hm
[07:06] <flying_penguin> pipegeek: screen used to have problems with crashing if it detached improperly but i havent had that happen since red hat 7
[07:06] <pipegeek> aaah
[07:06] <pipegeek> good to know
[07:06] <mgmuscari> DigitalKiwi: any particular reason it wouldn't? i'm not so much of a systems guy...
[07:07] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, I don't know what's in the dsl blob, but if it's a complete system image, I don't know why it wouldn't work
[07:07] <mgmuscari> pipegeek: that's what i was thinking
[07:07] <DigitalKiwi> it leaves programs running in it hanging waiting for input or something...like irssi is the example i've been told
[07:07] <pipegeek> so long as you configure grub right
[07:07] <mgmuscari> there's an image you can download and pop onto a thumbdrive; it's like 50mb
[07:08] <paipimenta> speaking of configuring grub.......
[07:08] <mgmuscari> DigitalKiwi: how do you mean? because it's not booting off of a pen drive?
[07:08] <pipegeek> oh, as in a bootable disk image?  Yeah, so just dd it into the partition and then chainload it from grub
[07:08] <paipimenta> I'm trying to finalize moving my /home to a new logical volume
[07:08] <DigitalKiwi> i wish i could get deli linux working in Vbox :(
[07:08] <paipimenta> I followed a fedora howto (since I had F11 on my pc a week ago) and I can't find grub.conf
[07:08] <paipimenta> http://fedorasolved.org/Members/zcat/a-new-home/a-new-home
[07:08] <pipegeek> dd is dangerous stuff, though---make sure your partition's big enough so you don't accidentally write past the end
[07:09] <Docteh> !grub
[07:09] <mgmuscari> yeah it's about 300 mb
[07:09] <mgmuscari> dsl should be like 50mb
[07:09] <pipegeek> paipimenta, check /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:09] <flying_penguin> paipimenta: fedora and ubuntu usualy use a file named menu.lst instead of grub.conf
[07:09] <albertxiaoyu> Is anyone can  give some help ?
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> deli uses pacman though for package management
[07:09] <paipimenta> menu.lst!!! perfect....
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> which is instant win
[07:09] <mgmuscari> hmmm would i have to set the boot flag?
[07:09] <pipegeek> albertxiaoyu, ask your question
[07:09] <mgmuscari> no, right, because i'm chainloading...
[07:10] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, zackly
[07:10] <Guest85955> ...
[07:10] <flying_penguin> alot of ppl swear by pac man
[07:10] <DigitalKiwi> flying_penguin: for good reason
[07:10] <pipegeek> what's so cool about pacman?  don't know squat about arch
[07:11] <liberion> anyone here?
[07:11] <Guest85955> here
[07:11] <pipegeek> yo
[07:11] <DigitalKiwi> i don't want to get yelled at :( but check their wiki or /msg me or join their channel
[07:11] <flying_penguin> the best package management software i ever used was portage but the developers screwed that up years ago
[07:11] <darksmac> hey guys im currently running ubuntu-sever i installed with 2.6.28-11 but did a dist-upgrade to 2.6.28-15 but when i boot i cant see my 2.6.28-15 on the grub boot menu any ideas on how to fix this
[07:11] <pipegeek> :`(
[07:11] <mgmuscari> i'm not sure i feel comfortable using dd to do this
[07:11] <mgmuscari> hm
[07:12] <flying_penguin> mgmuscari: careful with dd
[07:12] <DigitalKiwi> just do a standard install
[07:12] <darksmac> i run uname -r and it still says 2.6.28-11
[07:12] <Guest85955> 안녕
[07:12] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, just do: "sudo dd if=<disk image> of=/dev/sda5" or whatever
[07:12] <inertial> flying_penguin: could you use portage to build cross platform tools?
[07:12] <pipegeek> nothing wrong with using dd
[07:12] <albertxiaoyu> How to use gcc to write assembly languages ?
[07:12] <mgmuscari> right, just makes me nervous :D
[07:12] <mgmuscari> lol
[07:12] <liberion> im setting up an apache web server and inserted my files into /var/www/ but i cant see them,what do i need to do??
[07:12] <mgmuscari> my /home is right after this partition...
[07:12] <pipegeek> you can screw things up with it, but you can also screw things up with, like, a hammer
[07:13] <Guest85955> はじめましで
[07:13] <pipegeek> hehe
[07:13] <prince_jammys> i generally screw things with a screwdriver
[07:13] <mgmuscari> right so i'm hammering a nail into the wall next to my priceless work of art
[07:13] <flying_penguin> inertial: i only ever used portage with source packages so it was pretty easy to set up cross compiling (although thats never the most reliable method)
[07:13] <pipegeek> I prefer a socket wrench
[07:13] <Guest85955> 我是
[07:13] <pipegeek> haha
[07:13] <mgmuscari> pipegeek: i second that, i feel more comfortable under my car
[07:13] <pipegeek> :)
[07:14] <inertial> flying_penguin: back when i used gentoo i only ever set up portage to build stuff for my system.. not for cross platform tools.... just was wondering if it was possible
[07:14] <Guest85955> 谢谢
[07:14] <kielanmatt> hey
[07:14] <flying_penguin> inertial: it can be done but i would avoid it for the most part
[07:14] <kielanmatt> why doesnt my kernel upgrade to 31 from 27
[07:14] <kielanmatt> ???
[07:14] <Guest85955> who?
[07:14] <inertial> albertxiaoyu: you can just specify the assembly file on the command line
[07:14] <kielanmatt> cause i jsut went up to karmic
[07:15] <Boohbah> kielanmatt: /join #ubuntu+1
[07:15] <kielanmatt> cause my nvidia drivers couldnt instal
[07:15] <albertxiaoyu> ?
[07:15] <Boohbah> kielanmatt: there is no karmic support in this channel
[07:15] <Boohbah> kielanmatt: until the end of the month
[07:15] <kielanmatt> yeah
[07:15] <kielanmatt> but it happened on jaunty
[07:16] <Guest85955> how many chatting channel exist in this server?
[07:16] <Jyxt> does anyone use audacity?
[07:16] <Guest85955> who know
[07:16] <Boohbah> Guest85955: type /list to find out
[07:16] <lobak> hello
[07:16] <jussi01> Guest85955: #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps
[07:16] <mgmuscari> hey, can't i specify a maximum number of blocks to write with dd?
[07:16] <mgmuscari> using count or something
[07:16] <Aalinux> !hello
[07:16] <pipegeek> kielanmatt, to my knowledge, the most recent kernel in jaunty is .27
[07:16] <Aalinux> !ext4
[07:16] <flying_penguin> Jyxt: my whole famly used audacity exept for me
[07:16] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, you totally can
[07:16] <kielanmatt> but i cant build a dkms!!
[07:16] <Aalinux> !codec
[07:17] <mgmuscari> pipegeek: that would make me feel comfortable.
[07:17] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, dd if=foo of=/dev/whatever bs=1M count=1024
[07:17] <Boohbah> mgmuscari: yes, count=BLOCKS
[07:17] <kielanmatt> and nvidia keeps being gay about it
[07:17] <pipegeek> or whatever :)
[07:17] <jussi01> mgmuscari: Im pretty sure you can, man dd for more
[07:17] <mgmuscari> jussi01: yep :p
[07:17] <kisuke> jyxt on windoze or *buntu?
[07:17] <lobak> im trying to install ircd-hybrid from ubuntu apt-get..how can i enable openssl when installing with apt-get ? I've tried search on google, but i can't get the answer
[07:17] <kielanmatt> i cant run
[07:17] <pipegeek> (bs == block size == the above transfers 1024 megabytes)
[07:17] <kielanmatt> how do i do it
[07:17] <kielanmatt> cause there are no packages
[07:17] <kielanmatt> for a dkms build for the
[07:17] <kielanmatt> for me
[07:18] <Jyxt> kisuke: on ubuntu 9.04
[07:18] <Jyxt> kisuke: having an issue recording from line-in
[07:18] <mgmuscari> done
[07:18] <mgmuscari> now to grub...
[07:18] <pipegeek> sweet
[07:19] <kielanmatt> sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) IT DOESNT WORK
[07:19] <kisuke> jyxt i ran it on win vista 32 havent gotten my good PC back from shop to up grade to ubuntu, i'll try and help though
[07:19] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, should have mentioned it earlier, but if all you want to do is play around with dsl, it might be easier and more convenient to use the KVM virtual machine
[07:19] <flying_penguin> Jyxt: had that problem befor. it took a bit of work to get it running
[07:19] <Jyxt> kisuke: all the googling ive done tells me to simply change the drop down in audicty to my sound source...but i *have no* drop down for the audacity mixer
[07:19] <kielanmatt> E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers-2.6.27-7-generic
[07:19] <kielanmatt> sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) IT DOESNT WORK
[07:19] <kielanmatt> sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) IT DOESNT WORK
[07:19] <FloodBot3> kielanmatt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:19] <pipegeek> I've had good luck with it in jaunty, even though it's still under heavy development
[07:19] <flying_penguin> check the volume and system mixer
[07:19] <Jyxt> but i can hear the sounde source just fine...its playing now
[07:19] <pipegeek> that way, no need for a dedicated partition or to reboot
[07:20] <inertial> albertxiaoyu: what is your target architecture?
[07:20] <flying_penguin> make sure audacity is reading the proper channel and is not muting the input
[07:20] <mgmuscari> meh, i don't remember how to get the uuid and stuff
[07:21] <Flannel> mgmuscari: sudo blkid
[07:21] <Jyxt> flying_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 mixer
[07:21] <kisuke> jyxt sounds like a config problem, are you useing asla?
[07:21] <Jyxt> kisuke: yes
[07:21] <mgmuscari> lol oh, i see
[07:21] <mgmuscari> since i wrote block data to that partition...
[07:21] <flying_penguin> Jyxt: i dont remember exactly you just need to search through the audacity settings
[07:21] <pipegeek> changes the uuid, ja :)
[07:22] <ashok__> i want a website 2 download upuntu thems and games will any one help me out
[07:22] <mgmuscari> instead of a UUID, it has LABEL="KNOPPIX" TYPE="iso9660"
[07:22] <mgmuscari> can i point grub at that?
[07:22] <flying_penguin> Jyxt: also if you are useing pulse audio i would suggest un-installing it and useing alsa instead
[07:22] <mgmuscari> O_o i've never come up against pointing it at an iso imaged partition before...
[07:22] <prince_jammys> !themes > ashok__
[07:22] <pipegeek> you can also point grub just at (hd0,4) or whatever
[07:23] <Boohbah> flying_penguin: funny that ubuntu has been pushing pulseaudio for the last year but it hasn't worked for anyone ever
[07:23] <ashok__> i want a link
[07:23] <mgmuscari> pipegeek: do i have to set the boot flag on that partition then?
[07:23] <prince_jammys> ashok__: ubottu sent you links.
[07:23] <flying_penguin> Boohbah: its getting better but its still not what i would call stable software
[07:24] <pipegeek> no, 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 image
[07:24] <flying_penguin> Boohbah: i expect that kind of thing from fedora but ubuntu?
[07:24] <pipegeek> I mean, try it
[07:24] <mgmuscari> yeah, i didn't think it'd be a cd iso either
[07:24] <mgmuscari> weird
[07:24] <kisuke> jyxt one min google is being slow
[07:25] <mgmuscari> i guess i'll use rootnoverify
[07:25] <pipegeek> but if you just want to run the thing in a vm, "kvm -d path/to/iso -boot d"
[07:25] <pipegeek> cool
[07:25] <mgmuscari> i forget how to get the grub hard disk index
[07:25] <mgmuscari> like (hd0,0)
[07:25] <pipegeek> /boot/grub/device.map
[07:25] <mgmuscari> ah
[07:25] <mgmuscari> thanks
[07:25] <pipegeek> np
[07:26] <elxtogatox> hello.... somebody that can help me
[07:26] <mgmuscari> well, that gave me (hd0) /dev/sda, of course... but i have a lot of partitions
[07:26] <Jyxt> kisuke: take your time...messing around with JACK to see if that helps
[07:26] <mgmuscari> say i have sda7, would that always be (hd0,6)?
[07:26] <pipegeek>  /dev/sda1 should translate to (hd0,0) if I'm not mistaken
[07:26] <pipegeek> yeah
[07:26] <mgmuscari> i'll try it..
[07:26] <pipegeek> kk
[07:26] <elxtogatox> hello.. I need help :(
[07:27] <pipegeek> elxtogatox, ask your question :)
[07:27] <elxtogatox> thanks... sorry my language... is a not perfect english
[07:27] <mgmuscari> do i need the chainloader directive?
[07:27] <kisuke> jyxt help> about what is the verson of your port audio? (not sure i spelled that right)
[07:27] <flying_penguin> mgmuscari: if the hd num is higher than 4 that would mean it is a logical instead of extended partition and probably wont be 0,6
[07:27] <pempob> haloooooooooo
[07:27] <elxtogatox> I tell you...
[07:27] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, if you want it to jump into the DSL image's bootloader, then yes
[07:27] <mgmuscari> yeah it's a logical partition
[07:27] <flying_penguin> sory switch logical and extenden
[07:27] <Jyxt> kisuke: portaudio v19
[07:27] <pipegeek> mgmuscari, 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 here
[07:28] <paipimenta> oh man, how the hell do I edit this menu.lst file?? all I can use is cat, echo....
[07:28] <elxtogatox> I have a motherboard Via KM400... I was find the driver to this Chipset in google but nothing...
[07:28] <elxtogatox> and my resolution is 800x600 and this i dont' like it
[07:28] <pipegeek> paipimenta, nano is a pretty easy-to-use text editor
[07:28] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: do you have sed by any chance?
[07:28] <kisuke> jyxt try http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Linux-specific_issues
[07:28] <pipegeek> oh
[07:28] <pipegeek> ehehe
[07:29] <ak_> ah
[07:29] <paipimenta> I booted from the install DVD to recovery/rescue mode
[07:29] <mgmuscari> cat menu.lst | sed s/replacethis/withsomething/ > menu.lst
[07:29] <mgmuscari> :p
[07:29] <paipimenta> so I'm in a minimal prompt
[07:29] <flying_penguin> paipimenta: nano is easy vim is good and if you don't know exactly what you are doing dont use sed
[07:29] <elxtogatox> in last days... i was modifing the xorg.conf but ... my pc dead xD
[07:29] <paipimenta> nice!
[07:29] <mgmuscari> flying_penguin: very true
[07:29] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: don't use sed
[07:29] <pipegeek> vim is *lovely* but a pain in the ass to learn
[07:29] <elxtogatox> pipegeek you talk spanish??
[07:29] <paipimenta> cat menu.lst | sed s/lv_root/lvroot/ > menu.lst
[07:30] <Jyxt> kisuke: 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 this
[07:30] <prince_jammys> nice way of probably truncating the file
[07:30] <paipimenta> yeah.... the vim learning curve is gradually flattening out finally
[07:30] <elxtogatox> paipimenta you talk spanish?
[07:30] <pipegeek> un poquito.  Pero hay un canal en espanol
[07:30] <Jyxt> but its turning out *not* to be the easiest way, know of another solution that can record from line-inand save as mp3?
[07:30] <pipegeek> un momento
[07:30] <paipimenta> truncate? great...
[07:30] <mgmuscari> paipimenta: that would replace the first instance of lv_root on a line with lvroot
[07:30] <elxtogatox> can you tell me that channel :)
[07:30] <darksmac> nano for me
[07:30] <Jyxt> kisuke: thanks for the link though...will look into it
[07:30] <paipimenta> yeah, but this is Portuguese
[07:30] <prince_jammys> nah, it would likely truncate the file to zero bytes.
[07:31] <paipimenta> brazilian wife
[07:31] <kisuke> jyxt it is i've done it, do you have pulse audio?
[07:31] <pipegeek> elxtogatox, #ubuntu-es :)
[07:31] <paipimenta> :-D
[07:31] <elxtogatox> thanks :)
[07:31] <pipegeek> np
[07:31] <flying_penguin> darksmac: if you are going to be a serious terminal juckie you will switch to vim eventualy
[07:31] <Jyxt> kisuke: i had it, just uninstalled it per flying_penguin's recommendation
[07:31] <Jyxt> think it was him
[07:31] <darksmac> flying_penguin: damn  so confusing
[07:32] <paipimenta> mgmuscari: what's wrong with that?
[07:32] <mano> i want a website 2 download upuntu thems and games
[07:32] <kisuke> jyxt have you tryed disableing systemsounds in gnome?
[07:32] <paipimenta> I just need to change the kernel root= names for the root logical volume I changed
[07:32] <mano> will any one help me out
[07:32] <darksmac> flying_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 use
[07:32] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: open the file with a text editor and edit them.
[07:32] <mgmuscari> i'm going to see if my mad experiment worked...
[07:32] <mgmuscari> be back in a few
[07:32] <pipegeek> darksmac, "vimtutor" is a good jumping off point
[07:32] <pipegeek> just type that at the command line
[07:32] <darksmac> cool
[07:33] <pipegeek> most important thing to know: you quit by typing ":q<enter>"
[07:33] <pipegeek> ;)
[07:33] <mano> i want any link 2 download upuntu thems
[07:33] <kfizz> Quick Q: How can I grep only files, aka ignore all directories?
[07:33] <flying_penguin> darksmac: 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 that
[07:33] <kisuke> mano look in synaptc for themes
[07:33] <darksmac> thank you very much
[07:34] <pipegeek> flying_penguin, just type "lpr filename.ps"
[07:34] <pipegeek> if you have cups-bsd installed
[07:34] <mano> then for games
[07:34] <pipegeek> err, darksmac
[07:34] <kisuke> !themes > kisuke
[07:35] <darksmac> ooo ok
[07:35] <darksmac> can i print man files
[07:35] <paipimenta> prince_jammys: oh wow man, why didn't I think of that???
[07:35] <DigitalKiwi> yeah
[07:35] <pipegeek> well, you probably want to either convert them to plaintext first or to postscript
[07:35] <pipegeek> and there's doubtless an easy way to do that
[07:35] <pipegeek> hold on
[07:35] <paipimenta> too bad I'm in recovery mode and I have no editor
[07:35] <darksmac> and just so you know im stuck in vim
[07:35] <darksmac> hah
[07:35] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: beats me. sounds like a good idea.
[07:35] <darksmac> i lol at myself
[07:35] <paipimenta> not even ed
[07:36] <kfizz> Quick Q: How can I grep only files, aka ignore all directories?
[07:36] <pipegeek> darksmac: check it out: "man foo | lpr"
[07:36] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: you're in busybox?
[07:36] <pipegeek> where foo is the name of the man page
[07:36] <ArkoldThos> someone got chromium with flash?
[07:36] <paipimenta> there we go, yes
[07:36] <pipegeek> I think that should work
[07:36] <paipimenta> busybox
[07:36] <flying_penguin> darksmac: esc then :q
[07:36] <ajhtiredwolf> ArkoldThos, yes i have it
[07:36] <kisuke> mano see my last message also try google "linux games" (without the quotes) that should give you a couple starting points
[07:36] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: if you use the sed command, use a temp file.
[07:36] <pipegeek> if it doesn't, then try "lpr <(man foo)"
[07:36] <flying_penguin> or :q! (that will not save the file)
[07:36] <geirha> kfizz: find . -type f -exec grep "pattern" {} +
[07:36] <DigitalKiwi> darksmac: PAGER=cat man something > somethingman.txt
[07:36] <DigitalKiwi> then print it
[07:36] <ArkoldThos> ajhtiredwolf, how you got it working with flash? i copy pasted the plugin in the plugins folder of chromium
[07:36] <paipimenta> goddamn Colloquy with no message history!!
[07:36] <ArkoldThos> and started it as --enable-plugins
[07:37] <paipimenta> :-(
[07:37] <ArkoldThos> but nothing :/
[07:37] <ajhtiredwolf> ArkoldThos, I had already installed flash through firefox, and using the dev build it automatically worked
[07:37] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: sed 's/foo/bar/' menu.lst > tmp && mv tmp menu.lst # or better yet, look at the file first before moving it.
[07:37] <andruk> i 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] <ajhtiredwolf> ArkoldThos, are you sure you are using the latest build?
[07:37] <newabz> hello..
[07:37] <mgmuscari> hmmm, it gave me something about an invalid device
[07:37] <mgmuscari> error 12 i think
[07:37] <newabz> i need basic help for ubuntu.. who can help me..
[07:38] <mgmuscari> newabz: ask your question
[07:38] <paipimenta> cat menu.lst | sed s/lv_root/lvroot/ > temp.file
[07:38] <kisuke> newabz what do you need?
[07:38] <prince_jammys> no cat needed
[07:38] <prince_jammys> but sure
[07:38] <paipimenta> then how do I get it to write to menu.lst, just mv temp.file menu.lst
[07:38] <newabz> i want to install ubuntu.. just downloading it..
[07:38] <ajhtiredwolf> newabz, ask a specifical question and maybe :P
[07:38] <darksmac> still stuck lucky im in screen
[07:38] <paipimenta> welcome home, newabz! :-D
[07:38] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: perhaps the busybox sed can edits file in place with the -i option.
[07:38] <newabz> i wanted to know if i caould burn it on a rewritable dvd n install it. is it possible ?
[07:38] <pipegeek> paipimenta, you can also do "sed -i 's/lv_root/lvroot/' menu.lst" if you're really daring
[07:38] <mano> i want flash games will it work on upuntu
[07:39] <pipegeek> which performs the changes in place
[07:39] <ajhtiredwolf> newabz, ....yes
[07:39] <ajhtiredwolf> mano, yes
[07:39] <mgmuscari> newabz: sure, why not?
[07:39] <darksmac> never mind got it
[07:39] <newabz> thanks..i got some more questions.. be back in some time.. thanks
[07:39] <ajhtiredwolf> newabz, there are extensive instructions to installing ubuntu o the main page
[07:39] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
[07:39] <kisuke> newabz yes but it will fit on a CD
[07:39] <kfizz> geirha: 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] <mgmuscari> newabz: as long as you burn the iso image to disc and not the iso file you're good
[07:39] <newabz> yeah.. but its all given for cd .. nothing abt dvd has been mentioned
[07:39] <flying_penguin> darksmac: 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 changes
[07:39] <mgmuscari> newabz: same thing, really
[07:39] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-enable-flash-support-for.html
[07:40] <kisuke> newabz also before installing try in live CD mode first
[07:40] <newabz> i am new.. ..thnx
[07:40] <flying_penguin> then enter to issue the command
[07:40] <ajhtiredwolf> newabz, its the same thing
[07:40] <darksmac> cool i exited now im looking at vimtutor as sugested
[07:40] <mgmuscari> kisuke: newabz that's a good point
[07:40] <kisuke> newabz np we all were once
[07:40] <geirha> kfizz: Sounds like you're missing files who's content contains the pattern you're after
[07:40] <ajhtiredwolf> not me, i was born knowing how to use linux
[07:40] <mgmuscari> newabz: 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 disk
[07:40] <flying_penguin> ive never used vimtutor how is it?
[07:41]  * ActionParsnip1 was birthed mid-kernel compile
[07:41] <kfizz> Sorry geirha, I'm just greping file names, not contents of files
[07:41] <prince_jammys> flying_penguin: it's a joy.
[07:41] <paipimenta> brb.... making love 8-o
[07:41] <geirha> flying_penguin: It's great, it teaches you basic vim
[07:41] <flying_penguin> btw make sure you are using the vim-full package not the vim-tiny
[07:41] <flying_penguin> i think that was already mentioned
[07:41] <ajhtiredwolf> ActionParsnip1, haha good one
[07:41] <Mazhar> hello
[07:41] <darksmac> how can i check version
[07:41] <pipegeek> howdyt
[07:41] <Mazhar> I have  a prob
[07:41] <geirha> kfizz: find -type f -name "*foo*"  # files with foo in the name
[07:41] <Mazhar> recently I downloaded Ubuntu hardy
[07:42] <Mazhar> I dont a disk burner
[07:42] <flying_penguin> darksmac: if you apt-get install vim-full that will wipe out vim-tiny if it is installed
[07:42] <ajhtiredwolf> Mazhar, have a USB flash drive?
[07:42] <Mazhar> so I use daemon tools to mount the iso images
[07:42] <kfizz> geirha, thanks. Never used find before,
[07:42] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: got a 1Gb usb stick spare (or higher)
[07:42] <mgmuscari> Mazhar: why did you go for 8.04?
[07:42] <Mazhar> because its LTS
[07:42] <mgmuscari> Mazhar: good point
[07:42] <kisuke> darksmac <appname> -version usually works
[07:42] <Mazhar> so when try to install it using wubi
[07:43] <Mazhar> it starts downloading files
[07:43] <pipegeek> darksmac, also, "dpkg -s vim-full" will tell you if it's there
[07:43] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: you dont need daemontools to use the iso with wubi afaik
[07:43] <Mazhar> although I already have the iso
[07:43] <Mazhar> mm action
[07:43] <Mazhar> but why it starts downloading??
[07:43] <Mazhar> when I already have the iso
[07:43] <mano> where can i find flash games for upuntu
[07:43] <mgmuscari> Mazhar: you could probably also find a way to put it on a USB drive if you wanted
[07:43] <Mazhar> well
[07:43] <mgmuscari> mano: flash games are generally found on the internet...
[07:44] <Mazhar> well I dont know where I put my flash drive :D
[07:44] <mgmuscari> mano: flash player under 64 bit linux is kind of wonky sometimes
[07:44] <ajhtiredwolf> mano, they are universal
[07:44] <Mazhar> so can anyone help me??
[07:44] <Guest85846> hi
[07:44] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: if you put the iso in the same folder as wubi.exe it will be used
[07:44] <pipegeek> sad but true
[07:44] <ajhtiredwolf> mano, not specific to a certain OS
[07:44] <Mazhar> no its in the same folder
[07:44] <Guest85846> how to enable bootlogging?
[07:44] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: make sure you md5 check both files to minimise issues
[07:44] <Mazhar> whats that??
[07:44] <ActionParsnip1> !md5 | Mazhar
[07:44] <mano> 2 upuntu
[07:45] <Mazhar> thnx looking for that
[07:45] <indus> hi
[07:45] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: here are the hashes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[07:45] <Guest85846> i did: sudo gedit /etc/default/bootlogd and BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No
[07:45] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: you have no guaruntee those files are good at all, MD5 lets you test
[07:45] <pipegeek> Guest85846, not sure what you mean; boot messages should already be being logged to /var/log/boot.log
[07:46] <ActionParsnip1> Mazhar: if the MD5sums are different, the file is bad and needs redownloading
[07:46] <pipegeek> I lied
[07:46] <Guest85846> but the content of bootlog is only:(Nothing has been logged yet.)
[07:46] <Mazhar> ok thnx alot guys
[07:46] <ArkoldThos> ActionParsnip1, done that, still not working
[07:46] <ActionParsnip1> Guest85846: dmesg | less
[07:46] <Mazhar> I am checking it right away
[07:46] <Guest85846> ok try it
[07:46] <pipegeek> /var/log/messages; /var/log/kern.log
[07:46] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: if there is a ~/.chromium/plugins folder   link it in there too
[07:46] <pipegeek> also what ActionParsnip1 said
[07:47] <ArkoldThos> okay :)
[07:47] <flying_penguin> goodnight all
[07:47] <Guest85846> there is sth showing up at that command.. (dmesg | less)
[07:47] <newabz> hi.. what do u mean by live cd mode ??
[07:48] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: or if its ~/.chrome   use fuzzy logic
[07:48] <ActionParsnip1> etc
[07:48] <mano> will they work in upuntu
[07:48] <pipegeek> ArkoldThos, are you using a 32-bit chromium on 64-bit ubuntu?
[07:48] <ActionParsnip1> mano: its ubuntu, not upuntu
[07:48] <pipegeek> shot in the dark
[07:48] <ArkoldThos> 64
[07:48] <kisuke> newabz when you boot the cd there is an option to test without installing that is liveCD mode
[07:48] <Mazhar> OH no man!!
[07:48] <Mazhar> the checksums are differnet
[07:49] <Mazhar> I think I will have to redownload it
[07:49] <Mazhar> anyway
[07:49] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: you could copy the beta 64bit flashplugin to the plugins folder
[07:49] <Mazhar> thnx alot guys!!!
[07:49] <ArkoldThos> ActionParsnip1, 64 bits one still doesn't support is or I will have to use ndiswrapper?
[07:49] <FloodBot3> Mazhar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:49] <Guest85846> i dont have a var/log/messages but var/log/kern.log works
[07:49] <Guest85846> thx
[07:49] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: ndiswrapper is for network drivers, there is nspluginwrapper
[07:49] <Mazhar> I couldnt have dont it without you guys
[07:49] <Mazhar> thnx
[07:49] <Mazhar> *done
[07:49] <indus> ActionParsnip1: not beta, still an alpha, though it doesnt really mean anything, its as good /bad as the release version 32 bit
[07:50] <indus> any idea how to reduce jerkiness when full screen with flash
[07:50] <ActionParsnip1> indus: so it is, its still pretty awesome
[07:50] <ActionParsnip1> indus: got effects enabled?
[07:50] <indus> naah, i miss flash 9 so much
[07:51] <kermit> indus: maybe setting your cpu to performance from ondemand
[07:51] <indus> kermit: hmm really?
[07:51] <kisuke> does anyone know what the channel is for wine?
[07:51] <newabz> thanks kisuke
[07:51] <pipegeek> ArkoldThos, 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 amd64
[07:51] <ActionParsnip1> kisuke: #winehq
[07:51] <Guest85846> what does grub error 15 mean?
[07:51] <kisuke> newabz no problem
[07:51] <kermit> indus: right click on the task bar, add to panel, cpu freq thing, then click on it and change it
[07:51] <indus> kermit: ok thats my home system , i try it later
[07:52] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz extract the olnly file in it to the chromium plugins folder
[07:52] <kisuke> guest85846 it depends on how far grub loads
[07:52] <indus> kermit: in what way does that help?
[07:52] <Guest85846> there is sth. like: file not found
[07:52] <kermit> indus: maybe it wont.. but you can lock the cpu at full speed so it probably will
[07:52] <indus> Guest85846: ya it cant find the grub stage 1
[07:52] <kisuke> guest 85846 on mi and i will get you the error list
[07:52] <indus> kermit: okie
[07:52] <ActionParsnip1> Guest85846: http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html
[07:52] <indus> kermit: any other tweaks?
[07:53] <philsf> I'm getting segfaults whenever I try to run apt-get or aptitude, how can I debug this?
[07:53] <mgmuscari> i'm going to try a different approach
[07:53] <mgmuscari> i'm going to extract the DSL image to the partition
[07:53] <Guest85846> ok thx
[07:53] <mgmuscari> and make a grub entry to point to that...
[07:53] <kisuke> guest85846 try http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html
[07:54] <Bravewolf> where are the configuration file of localea? I would like to use an english system with an italian keyboard, with the metric measures and with , as decimal sepator.
[07:54] <indus> i was wondering, doing a cd / with live cd shows the / of cd or hdd
[07:54] <kisuke> thanks actionparsnip1
[07:54] <ActionParsnip1> indus: http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/04/3-tweaks-to-speed-up-firefox-3-and-free.html
[07:54] <Bravewolf> locales
[07:54] <pipegeek> ArkoldThos, hmm, no, it definitely found and is using the wrapper
[07:54] <ActionParsnip1> kisuke: np
[07:54] <Guest85846> will i find that error in my kern.log?
[07:54] <mgmuscari> how do i have grub autoconfigure again?
[07:54] <indus> ActionParsnip1: aww thanks :)
[07:54] <ArkoldThos> thanks ActionParsnip1, the last worked
[07:55] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: good move, 64bit flash ahoy :D
[07:55] <indus> ActionParsnip1: but i want flash specific help, this one i have tried already
[07:55] <ArkoldThos> damn adobe :(
[07:55] <Guest85846> cannot find map file...
[07:55] <Guest85846> hm what is that?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip1> ArkoldThos: you can uninstall the flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree and apply the same file to firefox too
[07:56] <pipegeek> ah for a world of open standards and compliant implementations where flash was unnecessary
[07:56] <indus> Guest85846: do you have a grub problem?
[07:56] <ArkoldThos> i don't use firefox, i don't like it :/ but thanks for the advice
[07:56] <Guest85846> indus, i guess so
[07:56] <indus> Guest85846: so use live cd to fix it
[07:56] <zanticus> lynx is the way to go
[07:57] <Jyxt> kisuke: if your still here...it seems i have to start JACK before starting audacity...still no drop downs but at least audacity is hearing the line-in now
[07:57] <Guest85846> i am able to start the system only after i chose the second line in the grub menu.. recovery or sth like that
[07:57] <Guest85846> then a menu is loaded and i choose grub.. after that i choose resume boot and its all right, the system boots up
[07:57] <Fragsworth> Is there a file somewhere that displays hard drive information (like /proc/cpuinfo displays CPU information)
[07:58] <indus> Guest85846:after grub menu appears, what do u do
[07:58] <indus> Fragsworth: have to install some tools for that
[07:58] <indus> !smartmontools | Fragsworth
[07:58] <indus> !smart
[07:58] <Guest85846> hmm indus, i dont remember ..
[07:58] <Guest85846> i try that once again
[07:58] <pipegeek> Fragsworth, well, "df" will tell you how much space is left in your mounted filesystems...
[07:58] <kisuke> jyxt can you record?
[07:59] <indus> Fragsworth: install smartmontools for this
[07:59] <Fragsworth> pipegeek: I'm looking more for manufacturer/model information
[07:59] <indus> !info smartmontools | Fragsworth
[07:59] <Fragsworth> cool, thnaks
[08:00] <pipegeek> Fragsworth, hmm.  Explore the /sys hierarchy (/sys/devices/pci*/*).  Also, check out /dev/disk/by-id
[08:01] <indus> pipegeek: that wont give manufacturerr info
[08:02] <pradeep> hoe to enable root login in ubuntu
[08:02] <indus> pradeep: check under users and groups
[08:02] <Jyxt> kisuke: yes...i changed the playback and recording source to JACK...made sure JACK was loaded before audacity and all works fine now...JACK seems to autoroute things for me
[08:02] <pipegeek> indeed.  I fail
[08:03] <indus> !root | pradeep
[08:03] <mgmuscari> lolll
[08:04] <mgmuscari> who set that ubottu message
[08:04] <mgmuscari> sudo bend spoon
[08:04] <Jyxt> kisuke: thanks for the help though
[08:05] <pipegeek> pradeep: if you really really really want a root password, you can "sudo passwd root".  It's rarely necessary, though.
[08:05] <indus> pipegeek: cool :)
[08:05] <mgmuscari> Fragsworth: cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[08:06] <indus> its too easy to enable root , i dont know why its driven into our heads dissuading from doing so
[08:06] <pipegeek> whoa
[08:06] <pipegeek> good to know, mgmuscari
[08:06] <mgmuscari> Fragsworth: if you just want to get the info quick and dirty
[08:06] <mgmuscari> pipegeek: /proc is full of goodies :)
[08:06] <pipegeek> indeed :)
[08:06] <kisuke> jyxt np
[08:06] <Flannel> indus: Because there are no real benefits of doing so.
[08:06] <paipimenta> go get me a sandwich
[08:07] <paipimenta> "Get your own sandwich!"
[08:07] <mgmuscari> paipimenta:
[08:07] <mgmuscari> no
[08:07] <indus> Flannel: yes i know ,not debating  that point at all, i never use it either
[08:07] <paipimenta> haha
[08:07] <Flannel> paipimenta: Please not here.
[08:07] <Flannel> indus: Well, the reason we suggest against it here is that it's Ubuntu policy to not use it.
[08:07] <paipimenta> ok, busybox has sed, but not ed
[08:07] <indus> Flannel: but its easy to set one with GUI ,so ubuntu dont seem too keen on hiding it
[08:08] <pipegeek> indus: maybe it's because it dissuades logging in as root and leaving root terminals open
[08:08] <pipegeek> the less time spent as root the better
[08:08] <indus> Flannel: good look at users adn groups and thats it
[08:08] <indus> anyways off topic i guess
[08:08] <pipegeek> sorry
[08:08] <tPl0ch> hi all :)
[08:08] <pipegeek> howdy
[08:08] <indus> tPl0ch: hello
[08:09] <paipimenta> what was that sed command again?
[08:09] <pipegeek> which
[08:09] <indus> Flannel: is it fine to advice on enabling it with proper warnings? some users probably come from a server background and look for doing same with ubuntu possibly
[08:09] <shibby_> balls
[08:10] <paipimenta> to replace lv_root in menu.lst with lvrot
[08:10] <paipimenta> lvroot
[08:10] <shibby_> butt sex 1000
[08:10] <pipegeek> indus: those users probably know how to set a root password already though
[08:11] <indus> pipegeek: yeah guess they do, or maybe they are surprised a bit when they cant login as root when they use ubuntu first time
[08:11] <paipimenta> sed -i s/lv_root/lvroot/ menu.lst   ??
[08:11] <pipegeek> suppose...
[08:11] <Jyxt> are there any alternative mixer softwares in ubuntu? i'd like one that visually shows the current levels like DJ mixers do
[08:12] <indus> Jyxt: maybe sync
[08:12] <Boohbah> Jyxt: mixxx
[08:12] <indus> Jyxt: but you already tried that i guess
[08:12] <pipegeek> paipimenta, "sed -i 's/lv_root/lvroot/' menu.lst"
[08:12] <philsf> I'm getting segfaults trying to run aptitude (and apt-get). I got the following backtrace information http://pastebin.com/f3b7873a9 following the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace. Can someone help me fix this issue?
[08:12] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: s/foo/bar/g <--- 'g' to substitute every instance in the line
[08:12] <Boohbah> Jyxt: oh sorry, that's a DJ mixer
[08:12] <pipegeek> oh point
[08:12] <pipegeek> paipimenta, "sed -i 's/lv_root/lvroot/g' menu.lst"
[08:12] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: do you know how to use vi?
[08:12] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: i'm pretty sure busybox comes with vi
[08:13] <paipimenta> vi
[08:13] <Jyxt> Boohbah: yeah looks like mixing software...i just want something to replace the default Mixer (that shows audio channels/levels etc)
[08:13] <prince_jammys> in fact, it would be a sin if you had no editor whatsoever
[08:13] <paipimenta> /bin//sh: vi: not found
[08:13] <pipegeek> eek
[08:13] <pipegeek> nano?
[08:13] <indus> philsf: i think you should search on launchpad for this ,then try posting the trace there with some bug
[08:13] <pipegeek> do you have nano?
[08:13] <pipegeek> I'm shocked it doesn't have vi
[08:13] <Jyxt> not a big deal, would be nice to have though...helps to prevent clipping if you can see the signal is going in the red
[08:13] <prince_jammys> no, he doesn't. net even ed.
[08:13] <paipimenta> my system has vi
[08:13] <prince_jammys> s/net/not
[08:14] <prince_jammys> that's bizarre. busybox is supposed to come with vi.
[08:14] <mgmuscari> ooh, i have an idea
[08:14] <indus> philsf: maybe try apt-get clean if that helps
[08:14] <mgmuscari> i'll use the DSL embedded version
[08:14] <mgmuscari> for putting on a flash drive
[08:14] <mgmuscari> i'll throw that onto my partition
[08:14] <mgmuscari> and put another bootloader there
[08:15] <mgmuscari> configure it to have no delay, and chainload it
[08:15] <kisuke>    /bin//sh ?? that dosen't look valid
[08:15] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: see if they called it 'busybox-vi'
[08:15] <prince_jammys> that's fine
[08:15] <paipimenta> BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-2ubuntu7)
[08:15] <prince_jammys> /bin/////////sh == /bin/sh
[08:15] <philsf> indus, apt-get clean does not segfault, but doesn't help either
[08:15] <paipimenta> nope
[08:15] <kisuke> ah
[08:15] <indus> philsf: kk
[08:15] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: let me see what this thing comes with.
[08:15] <paipimenta> "//bin" in IRC, damnit
[08:16] <indus> philsf: i think there are bugs on launchpad ,you rreally should search there
[08:16] <pipegeek> night folks
[08:16] <paipimenta> night,  |geek
[08:17] <pipegeek> :)
[08:17] <paipimenta> thanks, rebooting with new /home
[08:17] <paipimenta> darn
[08:17] <Akaiddo> Hey, I'm trying to install Linux from a Live CD on an old Mac PowerPC G4, which currently has OS 9 on it. Does anyone know how I would get it to boot from the CD and not the HDD?
[08:19] <paipimenta> hmmmm that's weird....
[08:19] <Akaiddo> ??
[08:19] <paipimenta> when I restarted, I got this line: No directory, logging in with HOME=/
[08:20] <paipimenta> but when I cd to home and ls, I get the right device, my vg_pephost/lvhome
[08:20] <Jyxt> paipimenta: fstat apparantly doesnt know that
[08:20] <Jyxt> err fstab
[08:20] <Jyxt> check /etc/fstab and make the entry for your /home is correct
[08:20] <paipimenta> ah
[08:20] <paipimenta> YAY vi!!!!
[08:20] <paipimenta> :-D
[08:22] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: hurray.
[08:22] <prince_jammys> you know things suck when you're excited that you have vi
[08:23] <paipimenta> I read this awesome comic strip when I was at Yahoo!
[08:23] <paipimenta> programmer looks over another programmers shoulder... "Pico? REAL programmers use emacs"
[08:24] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: are you still in busybox, or were able to log in normally?
[08:24] <prince_jammys> heh
[08:24] <Dead-Watcher> halo ada yang berbahasa indonesia?
[08:26] <paipimenta> this is the last line of my /etc/fstab.....
[08:26] <Dead-Watcher> halo ada yang berbahasa indonesia?
[08:26] <prince_jammys> !indonesia
[08:27] <paipimenta> /dev/mapper/vg_pephost-lvhome    /home    ext3     defaults    0     0
[08:27] <Dead-Watcher> udah dari sana pada gak aktif
[08:27] <paipimenta> that should let system know to mount device to /home and I should start in ~    right?
[08:28] <paipimenta> wow, that's what I'd type like if I was on Indo, too
[08:28] <prince_jammys> Dead-Watcher: /join #ubuntu-id
[08:30] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: i think the last number should be 2, though i don't remember why.
[08:30] <prince_jammys> ''man fstab'' will give you a hint
[08:30] <paipimenta> good enough for me
[08:30] <prince_jammys> as far as the /dev/foo, see if sudo fdisk -l  shows it
[08:31] <prince_jammys> i don't have experience with /dev/mapper business
[08:31] <paipimenta> yeah, I had it as /dev/vg_pephost/lvhome.... but it's really /dev/mapper/vg_pephost-lvhome
[08:32] <paipimenta> good... I'm getting  a forced fsck on lvhome
[08:32] <paipimenta> prince: so here's the toughie
 Dead-Watcher: /join #ubuntu-id <- already there, nobody alive
[08:32] <paipimenta> now I want to shrink the LVM partition to make room for another NTFS partition on my drive to boot windows
[08:32] <paipimenta> =-o
[08:33] <paipimenta> :-) he learned English!
[08:33] <paipimenta> j/k
[08:33] <Dead-Watcher> lol
[08:33] <paipimenta> yeah.... it's slow enough in here with plenty of peeps
[08:34] <Dead-Watcher> i'm windows user, and I get sick with that
[08:34] <paipimenta> !windows
[08:34] <prince_jammys> Dead-Watcher: have you installed ubuntu?
[08:34] <Dead-Watcher> ubuntu look promising for me
[08:35] <Dead-Watcher> not yet
[08:35] <kisuke1> ok now that theres no one here any one know why my bios can ID my HDD buy ubuntu cant no an 11 yo PC
[08:35] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: i have no experience with LVM, and i don't know the issues.
[08:35] <Dead-Watcher> i've been confius how to install it
[08:35] <prince_jammys> Dead-Watcher: you can download a live CD and try it. You can use the same live CD to install it.
[08:36] <paipimenta> assume I had my boot partition and my LVM partition on /dev/sda, with space left over
[08:36] <mario__> Hi, hello everyone!!!
[08:36] <paipimenta> do I have to reboot in recovery mode or something to create a new partition to fill up the device?
[08:36] <paipimenta> right now, the space left over is my concern, but after that
[08:36] <prince_jammys> paipimenta: you can use a partitioner such as gparted. The ubuntu live CD comes with it, or there's a downloadable live CD available. Want a link?
[08:37] <paipimenta> no, I've got it
 I have cd installer is it different with dvd repository?
[08:37] <paipimenta> apt-get is yummy enough
[08:37] <paipimenta> (no reference to yum intended)
[08:37] <prince_jammys> Dead-Watcher: the cd installer should be fine.
[08:37] <prince_jammys> !botsnack
[08:37] <vega-> did the kernel update today add "noapic" as a default option or do i have something very wrong ...
[08:37] <paipimenta> hahahahahhaa
[08:37] <paipimenta> rofl
[08:38] <mario__> Hey guys, i just install Emesene to chat with my friends, i get this latest version, emesene-crazy that support webcams
[08:38] <mario__> but i alway get an error
[08:38] <mario__> libmimic
[08:38] <mario__> something
[08:38] <prince_jammys> Dead-Watcher: i don't know what they're putting on a DVD now, but you can install whatever else you want once you've installed ubuntu.
[08:38] <paipimenta> mime?
[08:38] <Dead-Watcher> another question: what is DVD reposiroty?
[08:38] <ReX0r> I was trying to get sound back, I go to synaptec, try to lock version on xinetd, does nothing, I see automatically install is checked, I click that, now everything in the package menu is greyed out :s
[08:39] <kraut> moin
[08:39] <paipimenta> Dead-Watcher: for some reason, my install was crashing (reinstalling over Linux) so I just installed a basic server install with a prompt and upgraded from there
[08:39] <paipimenta> anything on a DVD is usually going to need at least one package upgraded anyway
[08:39] <paipimenta> unless it just got posted, you just downloaded it, and just burned it
[08:39] <kisuke1> https://launchpad.net/bugs/1
[08:40] <ReX0r> nm!
[08:40] <mario__> any clue on how to setup my netbook webcam in emesene
[08:40] <mario__> ?
[08:40] <Dead-Watcher> OK, thz prince_jammys
[08:41] <ReX0r> if anybody knows of recent updates that break ac97 sound (or working beta drivers for x-fi in 64bit) and how to fix them, pls lemme know
[08:41] <paipimenta> wow, time to go camp in #lvm and figure out that free space thing
[08:41] <prince_jammys> Dead-Watcher: I don't know about the DVD. I've only used CDs. Like I said, you can install ANYTHING else you want later.
[08:41] <paipimenta> and yes, I clicked my own room link to go there
[08:42] <prince_jammys> Dead-Watcher: have you tried ubuntu booting from a live CD?
[08:42] <mario__> dies anyone know how to setup emesene to work with webcams, or what program should i use to do this
 Dead-Watcher: have you tried ubuntu booting from a live CD? I have not install yet

[08:46] <prince_jammys> Dead-Watcher: go to ubuntu's webstite
[08:46] <prince_jammys> err, "website"
[08:46] <kisuke1> dead-watcher  if you burned a CD for *buntu unless it is an alternate install CD it is A  live CD

[08:48] <kisuke1> can any on help me figure out why linux cant ID my HDD?
[08:49] <prince_jammys> luiX_: heh, i tried #vlc too.
[08:49] <Balsaq> why does my "whois" show where i am from, and others do not?
[08:50] <ideasman_42> Hi, whats the login on a ubuntu install CD ?
[08:50] <ideasman_42> I have the installer up but want to login manually
[08:50] <Flannel> ideasman_42: The CD shouldn't ask you when you boot it, but it's username is "ubuntu" and its password is blank.  If it asks you when you boot (to login) something may be wrong.
[08:50] <cheslyn> hi everyone
[08:50] <ideasman_42> Flannel, no its ok I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1
[08:51] <Balsaq> never asked me when i installed it
[08:51] <luiX_> prince_jammys, yep xDDDD
[08:51] <ideasman_42> no it doesnt ask for the password
[08:51] <prince_jammys> luiX_: your best bet may be at the vlc forums for advanced vlc stuff.
[08:51] <luiX_> prince_jammys, yo konw, no one there
[08:51] <ideasman_42> unless you manually go into a terminal
[08:52] <Balsaq> where can i get a list of all those shift alt type commands?
[08:52] <luiX_> prince_jammys, ok, good idea, i'll try there :D
[08:52] <luiX_> thanks
[08:53] <Dead-Watcher> if I have Acer aspire 2920 wich ubuntu version fit for me? desktop or netbookremix?

[08:53] <kisuke1> balsaq try wikipedia magig sysrq keq
[08:53] <kisuke1> magic*
[08:53] <Balsaq> :@)oh thanks kisukel
[08:54] <prince_jammys> Pupeno: alt+f2 and type: pkill gnome-panel
[08:54] <ideasman_42> would be cool if ubuntu had an install mode that wiped the partition for everything but the home dir
[08:55] <cong06> um. I don't think that's possible... unless you saved the home directory in memory...
[08:55] <ideasman_42> often I want a clean install but keeping home... ok I should have home on another partition i know
[08:55] <DJones> ideasman_42: You can do that during the partitioning if you've set up your /home on a seperate partition previously
[08:55] <cong06> or just backup to a flash drive?
[08:55] <prince_jammys> ideasman_42: yes, make /home a separate partition.
[08:55] <ideasman_42> cong06, then you loose permissions unless the flash drives not fat
[08:55] <ideasman_42> yeah, should use seperate home
[08:56] <kisuke1> can anyone help me figure out why linux has stoped ID ing my HDD?
[08:56] <ideasman_42> ubuntu rocks! :)
[08:56] <cong06> well, fat sucks anyway
[08:57] <ideasman_42> totally
[08:57] <ideasman_42> but most people wont think to reformat
[08:57] <cheslyn> if anyone ask you what terminal type? what kind of types do you get and what is it do
[08:57] <Bluey> having problems with the 64 bit version of ubuntu 9.04 version 2.6.28-15 causing lockups - doesn't do this with -14 -- any known issuses?
[08:58] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: the ones you run from the GUI can broadly be referred to as 'X terminals'. The terminal you get outside of X is a linux console.
[08:59] <prince_jammys> "X terminal emulators"
[08:59] <leissi> hmm
[09:00] <leissi> why can I not save my nvidia x server settings? When I reboot the resolution reverts back to 1280x1024 instead of staying 1600x1200

[09:01] <kokozedman> where can i get the old aria download manager in Jaunty?
[09:01] <prince_jammys> !X | cheslyn
[09:01] <prince_jammys> tobago: hehehe
[09:01] <kokozedman> there is only one aria2 there, which is the CLI version
[09:01] <marlun-work> Is there an app which can take a screenshot of screen or application and automatically send it to yfrog or simular service?
[09:01] <pcbugfixer> G'Day Folks, anyone have time to help me with a 9.04 install into partition 3 (1 of 4 primary partitions) 101677Mb in size so that all of the ubuntu installation is in this one partition - Please

[09:10] <whois> prince_jammys: legal reasons? are they viewable or is there something, we can know ? if yes or so, please
[09:10] <whois> pcbugfixer: channel staff or network staff
[09:10] <prince_jammys> whois: i don't know what the actual reasons are. Their site probably mentions them.
[09:10] <whois> pcbugfixer: network staff are in #freenode, you can do /stats p , and the channel staff in #ubuntu, you can ask your question or anything
[09:11]  * prince_jammys reports whois to the CIA
[09:11] <pcbugfixer> ubuntu please - would be good to know both please as I am new and may need them both sooner or later
[09:11] <whois> pcbugfixer: ^^ read my post above
[09:11] <prince_jammys> this is a raid!! we know you're making an ILLEGAL slideshow!
[09:11] <mcmlxxi> !karmic
[09:12] <DJones> pcbugfixer: The ubuntu staffers keep an eye on all the ubuntu channels, if its just questions about how to use ubuntu, this is the channel to use
[09:13] <kisuke> prince_jammys linux can't find it 4 times out of ten but my bios can, i did have xubuntu 9.04 installed along side xp to check that an install would work ran dban cause i bought it used the linux cant find HDD
[09:13] <leissi> why can I not save my nvidia x server settings? When I reboot the resolution reverts back to 1280x1024 instead of staying 1600x1200. When I try to save settings I get an error of not being able to save backup.
[09:13] <pickett> run it as root
[09:14] <cong06> I'm confused. is ubottu saying that  its gonna break when it's released? or it'll break until the 29th?
[09:15] <prince_jammys> cong06: no, he/she/it is saying it's unstable if you install it before the official release.
[09:16] <prince_jammys> i.e. expect bugs if you install it now.
[09:16] <[fade]> kdenlive seems ok
[09:16] <cong06> yeah.
[09:16] <[fade]> i think it will serve the purpose
[09:16] <[fade]> once again, thank you :)
[09:18] <pcbugfixer> Thanks for info DJones, whois, I did need help with a 9.04 install into partition 3 (1 of 4 primary partitions) 101677Mb in size so that all of the ubuntu
[09:18] <pcbugfixer> installation is in this one partition - Please
[09:19] <anselm> pcbugfixer: do you have already a 9.04 install ?
[09:21] <pcbugfixer> anselm: yes I have but it is on a different HDD mobile rack - did this to practice installing - but now want to install on my multi OS boot system
[09:22] <whois> pcbugfixer: Ubuntu is supporting LVM from a while, just Boot from your installation media, Press F6 twice on the installation screen, select "Expert" mode, and afterwards You ll be prompted to choose either LVM / Raid / ENcryption etc.
[09:22] <whois> choose LVM : i think that's what you wanttttttttt
[09:22] <whois> sorry, my "t" key is not working properly.
[09:23] <kisuke> can anyone help me figure out why ubuntu can't id my HDD?
[09:24] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I use BootItNG to perform OS boots - have XP Pro sp3 in partition 1(one) - BootitNG is in 4 - all are primary partitions - with Win7 to be installed in partition 2
[09:24] <godstar> kisuke: Is this a new install or an additional HDD on an existing install?
[09:25] <pcbugfixer> whois: getting there is not the problem I have, it is the parameters to choose  i.e. options  that I have problems with
[09:25] <kisuke> new install
[09:25] <kisuke> godstar new install
[09:26] <nomic> pls anyone - what ip address for a client do I put into /etc/exports when allowing a client to access the server (/etc/exports on server) i run ifconfig and see eth0,lo,wlan1,wmaster0 and there are many ip addresses -- can't remember which
[09:26] <nomic> -- NFS
[09:26] <mohrjo> hello
[09:26] <godstar> Ubuntu can not see your HDD in order to install or you have a slave drive or partition that you are trying to see?
[09:26] <padhu> Is IBUS input method is an default setuip in ubuntu 9.10?
[09:27] <pcbugfixer> whois: i.e. in the selections of what needs to be setup - also I seem to not get passed the point where I select the partition and then need to do what ?
[09:28] <maple1> how do I upgrade from ubuntu to windows 7?
[09:28] <nomic> why?
[09:28] <maple1> I like ubuntu but I also like productivity
[09:28] <nomic> it's a different OS
[09:28] <zenlunatic> omg
[09:29] <DJones> !ot | maple1:
[09:29] <amine> Hello, ....for recovery using bin logs,  how to know which binlog.xxxx to use?     or how to tell mysqlbinlog to look in all of them?
[09:29] <amine> thanks
[09:29] <anselm> pcbugfixer: so you need to convert your primary partitions in logical because you only can have 4
[09:29] <pcbugfixer>  whois: I have watched different videos and gone through different instructions - but have not seen one with spesific instruction of hoew to setup into an existing partition
[09:29] <zenlunatic> maple1: more importantly why would you want to?
[09:29] <paipimenta> total props to the #lvm for helping me out.... any Ubuntu noobs, I definitely recommend using guided partition with LVM if you're clueless
[09:29] <paipimenta> makes things easier down the road
[09:29] <paipimenta> or at least more flexible
[09:30] <zenlunatic> paipimenta: is that 9.10?
[09:30] <zenlunatic> paipimenta: never heard of lvm options on install
[09:30] <pcbugfixer> anselm: if I use standard protocol - then yes, however BootItNG does allow for more that 4 partitions if I use it - currently I use standard 4 partition setup
[09:31] <zenlunatic> with ubuntu even
[09:31] <pavel_z> hi guys. what's wrong with my raids ? http://pastebin.ca/1585642
[09:32] <kisuke> godstar i had ubuntu installed before and wiped the HDD after my test install and now the bios can see it but not ubuntu
[09:32] <dan> hḯ
[09:32] <kisuke> maple1 why not down grade XP to 7?
[09:32] <shoss> Hello, some programs are still starting up on login even after I unchecked them from the 'startup application' (system -> preferences --> startup applications)in ubuntu 9.04 jaunty - Gnome. does anyone know how to configure this properly, please?
[09:33] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: i got a reply 'terminal type?' what must i reply
[09:33] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: in what context?
[09:33] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: who/what is asking you this question?
[09:35] <nomic> pls i forgot what ip address for the client I need to put into /etc/exports (setting up nfs) ....
[09:35] <cheslyn> prince jammys: i type in root reset password
[09:35] <nomic> how to get it
[09:36] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: aaaah. That does something TOTALLY different from what you think it does.
[09:36] <sageNsand> Using Empathy or Pidgin in a IRC chat room for a while the scroll bar gets relative short. I notice the chat room screen stops rolling upward and the scroll bar starts to creep upward and that means I can't see the most recent text posted in the room, I have to keep dragging it down to see the new posts. Anyone seen the same?
[09:36] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: in other words, forget about that command. What are you trying to do?
[09:36] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: you want to set a password for a user?
[09:36] <sorenmalling> Can i "force" a user and group to always own files/folder created in a specific folder no matter who creates it?
[09:37] <pernissila> How do i disable the constant update of a window when i resize it?
[09:37] <gartral> sageNsand: yep, it's a libpurple issue.. i use irssi its a much more intuitive client
[09:37] <pernissila> it is soooo slow
[09:37] <kisuke> wow im being ignore T.T
[09:37] <prince_jammys> sorenmalling: look into the "sticky" bit in permissions.
[09:37] <gartral> !ignore | kisuke
[09:37] <Guest92871> what's up?
[09:38] <sageNsand> gartral: TY at least I know Im not alone
[09:38] <gartral> kisuke: what's your rob?
[09:38] <gartral> prob*
[09:38] <prince_jammys> sorenmalling: actually, don't. I misread your question.
[09:38] <godstar> pernissila: I think you can go into gconf-editor and look at Nautilus preferences. This may help you.
[09:38] <sorenmalling> prince_jammys:  :) Okay
[09:39] <kisuke> gartral tring to figure out why ubuntu quit iding my hdd
[09:39] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: yes
[09:39] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: this can be done with the 'passwd' command.
[09:39] <gartral> kisuke: your harddrive isn't being recognised?
[09:40] <neil_d> I 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] <godstar> kisuke: try instalilng Gparted from add/remove or Synaptic and see if it does not recognize your drive.
[09:40] <bruno_> u can type df on colnsole
[09:40] <bruno_> df
[09:41] <cong06> df is alot faster.
[09:41] <godstar> neil_d: you can also use Gparted as a graphical way to see your HDD.
[09:41] <kisuke> gartral after i wiped it it won't show up which is weird considering my BIOS IDs it been there done that every ~3rd time will find as 1 unknown partition and 1 swap partition
[09:41] <kisuke> godstar V
[09:42] <kisuke> godstar after i wiped it it won't show up which is weird considering my BIOS IDs it been there done that every ~3rd time will find as 1 unknown partition and 1 swap partition
[09:43] <cheslyn> prince_jammys:can you explain me how 2 do that from hte start please i'll really appreciate that
[09:43] <godstar> kisuke: have you checked your jumpers on the HDD themselves and the cabling? Such as, Master 0, 1 or Slave 0, 1?
[09:43] <bruno_> on accessories u can also use the disc analyzer
[09:43] <kisuke> yes
[09:43] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: you want to change your user's password, correct?
[09:43] <anselm> pcbugfixer: can't you simply create a partition with bootit and install grub on the same partition you install 9.04
[09:44] <kisuke> godstar yes worked when i got it then quit when i wiped the hdd, hasent worked scence
[09:44] <godstar> kisuke: seriously, install Gparted and see if that helps find your HDD.
[09:44] <neil_d> godstar: I don't have it installed.  df /dev/sda gives 642752. which doesn't seem correct.
[09:44] <pernissila> godstar, cant find the setting
[09:45] <mario__> in there a way to get a webcam working with emesene/??
[09:45] <kisuke> god star one min idiot didnt include gparted when made masonux
[09:45] <paipimenta> nope, 9.04
[09:45] <godstar> neil_d: install it.
[09:45] <Satisfied> whew..... so much chinese food tonight
[09:45] <Satisfied> sooooo goody
[09:45] <godstar> pernissila: I'll look real quick.
[09:46] <kisuke> godstar one min need to ru napt-get-update first
[09:46] <paipimenta> zenlunatic: 9.04   I remember LVM options on install as far back as fiesty
[09:46] <godstar> kisuke: k
[09:46] <TechN9ne> will GNome apps work well in KDE (kubuntu)?
[09:46] <Satisfied> oops wrong window
[09:46] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: yes but you must remember i don't have access 2 users and groups
[09:47] <prince_jammys> TechN9ne: yes, I wouldn't worry.
[09:47] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: type: passwd  in the terminal
[09:47] <TechN9ne> great
[09:48] <pcbugfixer> anselm: not a real option as I also have XP pro sp3 in partition 1 and will put Win7 in partition 2 and BootItNG is in its own small 8Mb primary partition
[09:48] <prince_jammys> TechN9ne: if you are installing ubuntu-desktop and you already have KDE, you'll just have a ton of apps put in your menus, that's all. You can edit them to your liking.
[09:48] <godstar> pernissila: try this from gconf-editor. apps/nautilus/preferences <--- uncheck the 'navigation_window_saved_maximized' value see if that helps.
[09:49] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: ok thanks let me try it i'll come back 2 u
[09:49] <nomic> pls what ip address for the host do i put into /etc/exports (when setting up an nfs server)
[09:49] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: that will allow you to change your user's password.
[09:49] <TechN9ne> yea i just installed Kubuntu for the first time and wasnt sure if downloading gnome apps would  work well
[09:50] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: thanks
[09:50] <paipimenta> TO ROOM: what are extents?  I'm lvresizing two LVs so I can shrink the partition my VG is on.
[09:51] <pcbugfixer> anselm: it appears that ubuntu needs or requires the partition to have sub (extended) partitions for its various functions and tasks
[09:51] <pernissila> godstar, that was already unchecked
[09:52] <pcbugfixer> anselm: unlike other OS's which onstall directly into a primary partition
[09:52] <younder> I hate using windows again..
[09:52] <younder> 10:36	younder	Trying to compile gnome 2.4 from source and then install it was a mistake
[09:52] <younder> 		<- lat_ har koblet ned (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[09:52] <younder> 10:37	younder	now I can get the login screen just a wait icon
[09:52] <younder> 		-> lat_ har blitt med i lisp
[09:52] <younder> 	younder	Luckily I have dual boot
[09:52] <FloodBot3> younder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:52] <anselm> pcbugfixer: no you can install ubuntu in one primary partition (that's default)
[09:52] <godstar> pernissila: hmm. Mine is on by default. Try to check it and see if you notice the difference you are looking for.
[09:54] <pcbugfixer> anselm: OK so what are the parameters I need to select, to do so please
[09:54] <pernissila> godstar, no difference. How about metacity settings?
[09:55] <anselm> pcbugfixer: Do you have the alternate or the live cd
[09:55] <ray_> hello using dell d600 and i had tried my best but my wireless is not working
[09:56] <younder> Anyhow I can't log into Ubuntu, so I am signing in from windows
[09:56] <godstar> pernissila: Not sure to be honest. If this is an issue that just started happening, I recommend you reinstall gnome or kde or whatever manager you are using. If you are just trying to tweek, you may just need to tinker till you get the effect you are looking for.
[09:56] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I have tried to find instructions for this but only found some and watched videos that went through differet configurationds with creating / /boot /swap and /data partitions which is not waht I wanted to do
[09:56] <younder> Something I wish to remedy
[09:56] <ray_> can anybody help cos av tried all the online help
[09:57] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I have the boot CD I downloaded
[09:58] <godstar> pernissila: Metacity looks like it deals moreso with keybindings.
[09:58] <archy008> can anybody help? - have no sound and can't start the sound-settings-applet after an unclean shutdown
[09:59] <archy008> ubuntu did a system check \
[09:59] <DJones> ray_: I haven't got a D600 so can't help specifically, but this posting on the ubuntu forums suggests it should be quite easy getting it to work, hopefully it'll help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=595447
[09:59] <archy008> and found a bounch of errors
[09:59] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I have already installed 9.04 on a different HDD mobile rack to get used to performing the install - but now would like to install it into my Multi OS boot system PC workstation
[09:59] <archy008> it fixed them but after reboot no sound.... :)
[09:59] <archy008> :(
[09:59] <dougellek> i just installed a new cpu, but their is no where to plug in the fan, the new plug takes 4 pins, and the mobo only 3 pins spots
[09:59] <nomic> pls i forgot  what ip address for the host do i put into /etc/exports (when setting up an nfs server)
[09:59] <nomic> from ifconfig
[10:00] <anselm> pcbugfixer: you only have to create a root partition (/) and be careful to install grub to this partition because otherwise it may damage your bootit
[10:00] <archy008> does anybody know what to do to bring the sound and the sound settings back? i'm on ubuntu 9.04
[10:00] <godstar> archy008: try doing apt-get update
[10:01] <archy008> ok, thanks, i'll try that
[10:01] <godstar> archy008: though your best bet may be to reinstall your desktop manager due to your unclean shutdown.
[10:01] <archy008> hm..
[10:01] <archy008> ok
[10:02] <jerknextdoor> i'm looking for a way to integrate google tasks into my desktop somehow.  i have been working to streamline my workflow for everything lately and this is one of the last things i need to figure out.
[10:02] <godstar> archy008: then you can type: alsamixer in your terminal and see if ubuntu is recognizing your sound card. More than likely it will.
[10:03] <dougellek> yeah, my mobo take this chip, but it doesn't look like it can power the stock fan that came with it
[10:03] <dougellek> does anyone know what im talking about?
[10:03] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: i did'nt crack it it showed  terminal type? and i type passwd
[10:04] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: no. close that terminal and start another one.
[10:04] <archy008> godstar: thanks, sorry for the stupid question (not much of an expert yet) - reinstalling the desktop manager wouldn't affect somehow my files and etc..?
[10:04] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: don't type 'reset' or anything. Just 'passwd'
[10:04] <archy008> should I back up everything beforehand?
[10:05] <pcbugfixer> anselm: root partition (/) ? - on the partition I want to install ubuntu in ? - and the installation will install into that ? - so what are the selections I have to choose to do so i.e. file system etc. please
[10:05] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: ok
[10:05] <prince_jammys> archy008: no, it's OK.
[10:05] <archy008> ok
[10:05] <archy008> thanks
[10:05] <trakcyia> Is there a dock application that is similar to OSX, but does or allows containing of launchers ONLY?
[10:05] <godstar> archy008: As with any system changes, backing up your data is a good thing. In this case its okay to just reinstall your desktop manager without worrying your files will be affected.
[10:06] <archy008> got it. thanks for the help
[10:06] <godstar> archy008: Anytime.
[10:07] <dougellek> oh blue wire is fan control speed
[10:07] <trakcyia> I quit, linux vanity is too time consuming.
[10:08] <pcbugfixer> anselm: the reason I got stuck with the manual install is because there is not much in the way of instruction as to the parameters to choose for a manual installation into 1 primary partition
[10:09] <anselm> pcbugfixer: choose the ext3 filesystem
[10:09] <anselm> pcbugfixer: and make the mount point "/"
[10:10] <mark_> I'm having a problem with my fan
[10:11] <mark_> [ 6299.820303] ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [ffff880037036140] 'off'
[10:12] <godstar> mark_:  sounds like a BIOS issue. Load default settings in your Bios and reboot.
[10:12] <mark_> Erm
[10:12] <mark_> You what? :-?
[10:13] <mark_> I don't know how to do that
[10:14] <shai> Is there a way to save an entire gnome-terminal session with its tabs and their names and then able to load that session when I need it?
[10:14] <pcbugfixer> anselm: so, 1. - choose manual, 2. - select the partition 3. - edit the partition - and select ext3 filesystem 4. - select "/" as mount point - is this correct? anything else please
[10:14] <mark_> Is there a terminal command for it?
[10:15] <godstar>  mark_: turn your computer off. Turn your computer back on and look at the bottom of your monitor, it will say press F2, Delete, F12 or something to that effect to enter BIOS. From there, load default settings, or performance defaults. See if that does not resolve your ACPI error.
[10:15] <prince_jammys> mark_: no, the BIOS is something you access right when you turn on the computer
[10:15] <mark_> Ah right
[10:15] <mark_> Gotcha
[10:15] <mark_> Okay
[10:15] <mark_> I'll try that
[10:15] <FloodBot3> mark_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:15] <prince_jammys> try the Function Keys, Delete, Esc....
[10:15] <anselm> pcbugfixer: yes you should memorise the partition number
[10:16] <anselm> pcbugfixer: later you will need this number to install the bootloader to this partition.
[10:17] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: thanks alot lol i crack it]
[10:17] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: you reset your password successfully?
[10:17] <ray_> pls help with wireless
[10:17] <pcbugfixer> anselm: SATA HDD Partition 1 is XP, Pt2 is Win7(to be installed) Pt3 is Ubunto, and Pt4 is BootItNG which controls the system boot choices
[10:18] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: successfully thanks and y did it showed terminal type?
[10:18] <carresmd> !ask | ray_
[10:19] <pcbugfixer> anselm: the volume labels are named accordingly
[10:19] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: because 'reset' is a completely different command that has nothing to do with passwords. It resets a terminal if the settings are wrong.
[10:19] <shai> Does anyone know if there is a way to save an entire gnome-terminal session with its tabs and their names and then able to load that session when I need it?
[10:20] <anselm> pcbugfixer: Yes then ubuntu is on /dev/sda3 or? you should be able to read this in the first field
[10:21] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: what kind of terminal and what is a terminal what does it really do with the pc
[10:22] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: the terminal you use is a program that emulates the old-fashioned terminal devices that are connected to main computer.
[10:22] <pcbugfixer> anselm: can you elaborate on this please - /dev/sda3 .... read in first field ?
[10:22] <prince_jammys> they are "terminal emulators".
[10:22] <godstar> shai: you could probably go to startup applications and select automatically remember running applications when logging out.
[10:23] <SharpRain> whats a good download manager with multiple threads, scheduling and password/proxy support?
[10:23] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: it's difficult to answer your question in detail. you should look on the internet for an explanation.
[10:23] <SharpRain> (for ubuntu, of course)
[10:23] <shai> godstar, 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] <cipria> "download them all" as firefox plugin
[10:24] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: thanks know i understand can you do this in windows also
[10:24] <shai> godstar, I'm actually surprised this is not documented or a wanted feature for most people...
[10:24] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: yes
[10:24] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: well, windows has a "Command Prompt".
[10:24] <cheslyn> what is tethering?
[10:24] <godstar> shai: What you are requesting is a neat feature. I'm sure a script could be created to meet your requirement.
[10:25] <anselm> In the table with the list of the partitions you should read in the first filed /dev/sda3 or sda3.
[10:25] <cipria> sharpRain: "download them all" as firefox plugin
[10:26] <DJones> cheslyn: 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 internet
[10:26] <shai> godstar, really? is this like the first time this was brought up? Konsole has been doing this for a long time.
[10:26] <pcbugfixer> anselm: missed the ..... later you will need this number to install the bootloader to this partition. - what or which boot loader ?  are you referring to please
[10:27] <shai> godstar, 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] <Jyxt> cipria: isnt it actually called: DownThemAll
[10:27] <godstar> shai: Sorry not sure. I do not use KDE.
[10:27] <cipria> Jyxt: yes sorry
[10:27] <shai> godstar, 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] <anselm> !grub | pcbugfixer
[10:29] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: so windows and ubuntu it's basically the same
[10:30] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: hehe. not quite, no.
[10:30] <tombott> lol
[10:30] <prince_jammys> they both have the letter 'n' in their names.
[10:30] <anselm> pcbugfixer: you will need to install this grubloader to the ubuntu partition otherwise it will damage your bootit. Per default it will install to the mbr
[10:31] <shai> godstar, Closest I got is this: gnome-terminal --tab -t test --tab -t shai --tab -t server
[10:32] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: i did not mean it like that i know ubuntu is more advance but thanks
[10:32] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: Any OS should have a way to type in commands.
[10:33] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: the terminal by itself takes input and shows output. It's the programs the are connected to the terminal that are doing the work.
[10:33] <prince_jammys> s/the/that
[10:33] <ArkoldThos> anyone could take a look on this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8029495
[10:34] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: but in windows it's prompt commands correct
[10:34] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: windows does have a Command Prompt, or DOS prompt, or something like that.
[10:35] <pcbugfixer> ubottu: 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 partiti
[10:36] <godstar> shai: all I came across was: sudo su gnome-terminal --tab --tab --tab
[10:36] <shai> godstar, that's what I gave you just above :)
[10:36] <godstar> shai: the it does not remember the settings once gnome terminal is closed and reopened.
[10:36] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: what is the difference between DOS prompt and Command
[10:36] <shai> godstar, Closest I got is this: gnome-terminal --tab -t test --tab -t shai --tab -t server
[10:37] <shai> godstar, so -t actually names them... which is good..
[10:37] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: i don't know much about windows stuff. You can ask in ##windows if you want to know.
[10:38] <ArkoldThos> command?
[10:38] <prince_jammys> ''command prompt''
[10:38] <prince_jammys> windows-speak
[10:38] <leissi> lol
[10:38] <leissi> So hey uh
[10:38] <roberto_> ciao a tutti
[10:38] <leissi> is there a way to configure logitech mouse to use all buttons properly?
[10:38] <leissi> in ubuntu, that is
[10:39] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: on a server
[10:39] <anselm> pcbugfixer: OK. You should have swap also. I forgot about that true. Sorry
[10:39] <prince_jammys> cheslyn: huh?
[10:40] <neil_d> godstar: found a simple way to find out way the drive is. cat /proc/partitions get the #blocks and time by 1024
[10:40] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: do you know what what server
[10:41] <pcbugfixer> anselm: so how and when is all this performed - or can this be done at the same time, if so how please
[10:42] <archy008> I 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] <archy008> so.. still no sound
[10:42] <archy008> and when trying to launch some app that uses sound it freezes.. and i have to kill it
[10:42] <archy008> any ideas?
[10:42] <pcbugfixer> anselm: looking at the sequence of instructions "1. - choose manual, 2. - select the partition 3. - edit the partition - and select ext3 filesystem 4. - select "/" as mount point" - + install "grubloader" and /swap
[10:43] <Gecko> any known problems with the ubuntu keyserver? It hasn't been working for me lately
[10:43] <carresmd> archy008: looks like a reinstall to me :)
[10:44] <godstar> archy008: Hmm. Try running Ubuntu from the live cd, if the sound works from there, you could just try to reload altogether.
[10:44] <anselm> pcbugfixer: But you can only create 4 primary partitions in linux either you boot windows and create the swap and the ext3 with bootit (http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=283) or you create a logical partition
[10:44] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[10:44] <DJones> Gecko: Its had problems for the last week or so
[10:44] <archy008> godstar: what does it mean to reload altogether?
[10:44] <godstar> archy008: Else you could try to troubleshoot.
[10:44] <godstar> archy008: Reinstall Ubuntu.
[10:44] <archy008> ok...
[10:45] <DJones> Gecko: This was posted in the channel a couple of days ago and may help: 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
[10:45] <Gecko> DJones: Could I use any keyserver or are the ppa repositories only submitted to that keyserver?
[10:45] <archy008> well.. not my favorite option... but I was thinking to do that anyways when the 9.10 is released...
[10:45] <Gecko> DJones: thanks, answered my question just before I asked it myself ;)
[10:45] <NBZ4live> Hi @ all
[10:45] <NBZ4live> Kann mier vieleicht jemand einen guten grafischen HTML-Editor empfehlen?
[10:45] <Wazzzaaa> How can I restart X from commandline?
[10:46] <godstar> archy008: do you have the medibuntu packages installed?
[10:46] <NBZ4live> Brauche sowas wie Dreamviewer, nur für Ubuntu
[10:46] <carresmd> try 'init 1' as root ;)
[10:46] <llutz> !de | NBZ4live
[10:46] <archy008> yup
[10:46] <jaunty> hey guys i have an issue
[10:46] <carresmd> Wazzzaaa: try 'sudo init 1'
[10:46] <Wazzzaaa> ok,
[10:46] <NBZ4live> sry#
[10:46] <archy008> yes they are installed
[10:47] <archy008> should I reinstall them?
[10:47] <jaunty> when i plug my headphones the sound comes out from speakers and headphones at the same time
[10:47] <archy008> i also have xfce installed.. so maybe some conflict there?
[10:47] <pepsi> what package might i need to install in order to login remotely.. as in, start a new gnome session over vnc
[10:47] <jaunty> how can i fix that ?
[10:47] <godstar> archy008: try running the live cd to make sure your sound card is functioning. You may have to install, some packages for the mp3 to work.
[10:47] <NBZ4live> I need a good graphical HTML-Editor for Ubuntu. Like Dreamviewer for Win*
[10:47] <DJones> !nvu | NBZ4live
[10:47] <archy008> i see.. ok. thanks
[10:48] <godstar> archy008: hmm. Multiple desktop managers will not affect your sound.
[10:48] <jaunty> some persons have the same problem ?
[10:48] <archy008> is it a problem if I have a very old life cd? ubuntu 6.06?
[10:48] <DJones> !html | NBZ4live Also, this lists a few more suggestions for html editors
[10:49] <jaunty> please i need help
[10:49] <godstar> NBZ4live: try OpenOffice Writer.
[10:49] <NBZ4live> thx
[10:49] <leissi> is there a way to configure logitech mouse to use all buttons properly?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: what model?
[10:49] <godstar> archy008: you may want to download the latest ISO from ubuntu.com.
[10:49] <leissi> ActionParsnip1, mx1000
[10:49] <NBZ4live> WWwriter isn't good. I must make a template for a newsletter
[10:49] <leissi> the side buttons aren't working
[10:50] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: you can configure it in xorg.conf: http://adventuresinswitching.blogspot.com/2008/04/logitech-mx1000-mouse-on-ubuntu-804.html
[10:50] <jaunty> please :
[10:51] <silv3r_m00n> isn't there a quanta for kde 4 ?
[10:51] <godstar> jaunty: open terminal and type alsamixer. Tweak settings as needed and also try your volume manager.
[10:52] <jaunty> godstar: i did it but nothing ..
[10:52] <leissi> thanks ActionParsnip1
[10:52] <leissi> I'll config it later on, looks like a bit of effort :P
[10:53] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: just bckup the file before playng, you then have a rollback path
[10:54] <kisuke> godstar one restart later and gparted doent see my HDD  do see the flash drive, i installed linux on but thats it
[10:54] <jaunty> i can't tweak headphon settings
[10:55] <jaunty> my sound card Realtek ALC1200
[10:55] <tombott> jaunty - have you tried removing and reinstalling alsa?
[10:55] <tombott> jaunty - sudo apt-get remove alsa
[10:55] <tombott> jaunty - sudo apt-get install alsa
[10:56] <godstar> kisuke: Sounds silly but what I would do is make the HDD you are wanting Ubuntu to see your Master drive, be sure to check the jumper settings on the cable. Then I would run Ubuntu live CD and see if the live cd sees it. If it does not see it then the drive may have gone bad.
[10:56] <joaopinto> tomaw, reinstalling alsa is not a recommended way of resolving sound configuration problems
[10:56] <joaopinto> ops, tombott
[10:57] <ActionParsnip1> !keyserver
[10:57] <ActionParsnip1> does anyone know the alternative to keyserver.uuntu.com please
[10:57] <DJones> ActionParsnip1: : This was posted in the channel a couple of days ago and may help: 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
[10:58] <ActionParsnip1> thanks
[10:58] <ActionParsnip1> perfect
[10:58] <leissi> now a vanity question
[10:58] <leissi> how do I enable wobbly window effects
[10:59] <kisuke> godstar it is my primary master but i will double check teh jumpers
[10:59] <tombott> joaopinto - well its certainly fixed prb for me before
[10:59] <joaopinto> tombott, that doesn't turn it recommended :)
[10:59] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: install 3d drivers for your graphics card, install compizconfig-settings-manager  then run ccsm and enable
[11:00] <kisuke> actionparsnip1 try keyserver.mit.edu
[11:00] <tombott> joaopinto - any fix is recommended in my book ;-)
[11:00] <godstar> kisuke: k
[11:01] <pcbugfixer> anselm: I am very clear about max partitions = 4, however BootItNG does have an option (which I did not want to use) to allow more that 4 partitions, all this I know and is not what I need info on ! - I repeat, the current partitions are 4 all primary at this point, with xp pro in Pt1 , Pt2 is empty at this moment waiting for Win7, Pt3 is for Ubuntu and Pt4 is the BootItNG partition - so I obviously need re configure Pt3 to accommodate all
[11:01] <jaunty> tombott: the same problem again ..
[11:02] <pcbugfixer> anselm: and what was the point of (http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=283) please
[11:03] <boot> edf
[11:03] <boot> 你好
[11:03] <leissi> whoops
[11:03] <leissi> broke my windows
[11:03] <boot> 你好
[11:03] <leissi> typed compiz into terminal
[11:04] <tombott> jaunty - can you load the volumne control - alsa mixer?
[11:04] <anselm> pcbugfixer: There is a part about Recommended steps for a new installation it is partly generic
[11:04] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: press alt+f2    run:    metacity --replace
[11:04] <leissi> ActionParsnip1, I already logged out and back in
[11:04] <leissi> so why does my resolution reset to 1280x1024 when I log out, I'd kinda want it to stay at 1600x1200
[11:05] <SharpRain>  whats a good download manager with multiple threads, scheduling and password/proxy support? (for ubuntu of course). also, it must do multi threads WELL, so not some half assed thing
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: what video card do you use?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> SharpRain: gwget maybe
[11:05] <leissi> geforce 8800gts, I change resolution through nvidia x server settings
[11:05] <SharpRain> It'll be downloading multiple links at once..
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: great. run: gksudo nvidia-settings
[11:05] <SharpRain> like, rapidshare kind of thing
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> leissi: set the display then click "Write to X config file"
[11:06] <indus> ActionParsnip1: nvidia-settings should not be run with sudo
[11:06] <leissi> oh
[11:06] <indus> ActionParsnip1: i believe
[11:06] <leissi> thanks
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> indus: its ran with gksude
[11:06] <leissi> I wondered how I'd run it as root :P
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> indus: user access will not permit writing to org.conf
[11:06] <indus> ActionParsnip1: its available under system>administration
[11:06] <indus> ActionParsnip1: writing what to xorg?
[11:07] <SharpRain> Hello?
[11:07] <elvtars> 1984
[11:07] <ActionParsnip1> indus: if you write the settings it will be the resolution of the loading screen, login screen and hopefully will perpetuate into the session
[11:07] <anselm> pcbugfixer: But you can create a logical partition no problem. Simply delete sda3 and select locgical partition if you create the two new
[11:07] <ActionParsnip1> indus: yes, write to xorg.conf, if its ran as user this will not be allowed
[11:07] <indus> ActionParsnip1: the resolution sticks if done from without sudo also, i have nvidia card
[11:07] <RobotCow> !selinux
[11:07] <leissi> so, about those desktop effects
[11:07] <indus> ActionParsnip1: if you mean resolution of the monitor that is
[11:08] <RobotCow> oh that website is useless. ive been to it before.
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> indus: well his isnt so doing the same thing as he's done before wont fix it will it
[11:08] <indus> ActionParsnip1: of course, i think this should not be used to edit xorg anyway, its for nvidia settings only
[11:08] <indus> ActionParsnip1: nvidia-xconfig is better for this isnt it
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> indus: it writes proper settings to xorg.conf
[11:08] <RobotCow> how 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] <SockPants> hi
[11:09] <SockPants> could someone help me out with permissions and users and such
[11:09] <ActionParsnip1> indus: as far as I know that writes ok stuff but the settings will need to be written once an acceptible display has been achieved
[11:09] <ActionParsnip1> indus: otherwise they wouldnt put the button in would they...
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> SockPants: can you expand on what you are wantioing to achieve and what is actually happening
[11:10] <indus> ActionParsnip1: this tool doesnt write to xorg at all i believe, it only saves user settings for resolution if found in teh xorg file
[11:10] <indus> ActionParsnip1: its like the nvidia control panel in windows
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> indus: http://tracylogan.com/uploads/Image/nvidia-settings.png bottom right button
[11:11] <indus> ActionParsnip1: if theire is no res in the xorg, it doesnt show in settings either
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> indus: it can and may be necessary for some users
[11:11] <SockPants> ActionParsnip1: 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 directories
[11:11] <Ashy> is there an ubuntu kernel package with xen compiled in?
[11:12] <indus> ActionParsnip1: 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] <SockPants> in the past i would simply keep chmod'ing everything 666, but i don't think thats the safest/ideal way to do it
[11:12] <ActionParsnip1> indus: 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 gksudo
[11:13] <indus> ActionParsnip1: i dont remember exact behaviour, ill let you know tomorrow
[11:13] <ActionParsnip1> indus: 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 it
[11:13] <indus> ActionParsnip1: need to click on it and check this one
[11:13] <indus> ActionParsnip1: yeah
[11:13] <Myxb> hi, i've made some changes to .bashrc. how do i make them actual without restarting the current terminal?
[11:13] <llutz> indus: ActionParsnip1 you can save it to a different file as user and merge it to xorg.conf later. easier to use gksudo :)
[11:13] <ActionParsnip1> Myxb: source ~/.bashrc
[11:14] <pcbugfixer> anselm: 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] <ActionParsnip1> Myxb: or you can close all terminals and open a new one
[11:14] <Myxb> ActionParsnip1: thanks!
[11:15] <SockPants> any ideas?
[11:15] <anselm> pcbugfixer: one swap one ext3
[11:15] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: my '/' uses about 3.5GB atm
[11:15] <anselm> !swap | pcbugfixer
[11:17] <testi_> I'd like to have a terminal or keyboardlistener that does sound on key events, like a typewriter. as realistic as possible.
[11:17] <pcbugfixer> ubottu: I have 2GB on my nVidia card and 4GB on the motherboard
[11:17] <kermit> testi_: so would i, please msg me if you find out how
[11:17] <SockPants> any ideas on how i can configure things so i can edit system files from an nfs client without too much effort
[11:17] <hanshenrik> just did sudo tasksel install lamp-server  & sudo apt-get install php5 & sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart  - and i have a index.php and a index.html; http://127.0.0.1/ == index.html by default (but specifying index.php works just fine as well)  is that normal?
[11:17] <testi_> kermit: k
[11:17] <kermit> testi_: even as realistic as a normal keyboard (i use a laptop) would be cool
[11:18] <SockPants> pcbugfixer: however much ram you have you'll still need to make a swap partition
[11:18] <testi_> kermit: yes.. :) I just started Penumbra Overture and I like that effect..
[11:18] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: how much space does the drive have?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: or do you have to play with
[11:20] <pcbugfixer> anselm: neil_d: ubottu: the partition dedicated for ubunto (Pt3) is 101677MB and do not need the space for anything else - I have other PC Worstations with Multi-Boot configurations and 5 other HDD for file and data storage
[11:21] <SockPants> i've set the nfs export so that i can read+write to the files i want to access, but i still don't seem to have permission to do so (from an nfs client) unless i chmod the file on the server to 666. how can i fix this?
[11:21] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: you'll need about 5Gb for /, 8Gb for swap (or at LEAST 4Gb) and the rest for /home
[11:22] <kermit> testi_: actually i did make a script that does it, but its polled so it sometimes misses keystrokes http://pastebin.com/f716e70ee
[11:22] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: that should be enough.
[11:22] <kermit> testi_: and, you'll need to edit that to point to your usleep, and get one if you dont have one... i dont know what package that comes with
[11:22] <indus> ActionParsnip1: 8 gb for swap??
[11:22] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: youll need 1xRAM if yu want hibernate etc. Otherwise 2Gb will be adequate due to the 4Gb system ram you have
[11:22] <ActionParsnip1> indus: 2xRAM
[11:23] <SockPants> hibernate files are stored in swap?
[11:23] <indus> ActionParsnip1: that was started in the days of 512 mb ram, 1 gb is more than enough unless proven otherwise
[11:23] <ActionParsnip1> indus: given
[11:23] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: 1 or 2gb ram shouold be enough
[11:23] <indus> ActionParsnip1: yeah 8gb forswap is surely overkill :)
[11:23] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: do you have another partition for swap?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip1> indus: depends on needs
[11:24] <joaopinto> using the old 2x ram does not hurt
[11:24] <indus> ActionParsnip1: also, the swap in linux is not used as in windows which does use it a lot
[11:24] <SockPants> nobody any ideas about permissions and such?
[11:24] <hanshenrik> what is the command for renaming?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip1> indus: depends on vc.swappiness value
[11:24] <hanshenrik> (in console)
[11:24] <indus> ActionParsnip1: my swap is always 50 mb max inspite of heavy gaming
[11:24] <SockPants> hanshenrik: mv
[11:24] <hanshenrik> ty
[11:24] <indus> ActionParsnip1: so not really sure how this swap works
[11:24] <ActionParsnip1> indus: set swappiness to 90, see how used it gets ;)
[11:25] <indus> ActionParsnip1: where do i set that?
[11:25] <joaopinto> indus, actually the swap on linux is heavily used, but in a difference sense, bringing performance improvements, freeing real RAM for active processes
[11:25] <ActionParsnip1> indus: dont set it to 90, your system will cry
[11:25] <gartral> what RTS games exist in the repos other than warzone 2100?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip1> indus: /etc/sysctl.conf
[11:26] <indus> joaopinto: i mean, i have been reading this 2x ram thing for some years, once i put swap just 300 mb and never ever had any problems
[11:26] <indus> i have ram 1 gb
[11:26] <ActionParsnip1> indus: vm.swappiness=1 here
[11:26] <onats> hi, what does segfaulting mean? bad memory?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip1> indus: i have 2Gb, if its hardly used set it to 5 or so, try keep apps in ram rather than swap
[11:26] <gartral> onats: bad code..
[11:26] <neil_d> onats: program did something bad.
[11:26] <indus> onats: not necessary unless ram is faulty
[11:27] <ActionParsnip1> onats: you can check your ram with the ram tester in grub
[11:27] <indus> ActionParsnip1: actually i havent yet find a good tool which will help me record history of ram and proc usage
[11:27] <indus> onats: program probab;ly accessed a wrong section of ram >
[11:27] <onats> ActionParsnip1, ok will do that later, coz i need to restart...
[11:28] <onats> im using Mysql-admin. it was working a couple of minutes ago
[11:28] <ActionParsnip1> indus: its just good to do, the lower swappiness will make the system keep apps in ram ather than swapping them out
[11:28] <indus> ActionParsnip1:ok will check this
[11:28] <indus> ActionParsnip1: ram is infinitely fastre than hdd of course
[11:28] <SockPants> is there a separate user for nfs or else how does nfs authenticate users?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip1> indus: definately so if you can keep the apps in there it will be slicker
[11:30] <ActionParsnip1> !nfs
[11:30] <pcbugfixer> so, what is the total for each logical partition, max ? and total needed for the whole of the ubuntu installation please - and what is the final min / max size for each logical partition - is my logic correct  in creating the "/" as the primary 3rd partition on my HDD and then create the other needed partitions as logical partitions under the "/" 3rd primary partition on the HDD ?
[11:30] <kermit> if you have a SSD, maybe set it much higher
[11:31] <ActionParsnip1> pcbugfixer: you can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary and one to be an extended partition which will hold logical partitions to give you possibly more partitons
[11:32] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: with the size of your pt3 you shouldn't need any other partitions.  but you will need a swap.
[11:32] <SockPants> ActionParsnip1: ive followed that to set up nfs, but i don't seem to need to log in anywhere, it just works
[11:33] <ActionParsnip1> SockPants: that factoid is all i know dude, sorry
[11:33] <SockPants> alright, np, i'm still googling
[11:35] <pcbugfixer> neil_d: so if I have 4 primary partitions, where and how in this partition do I create the other swap etc needed for the ubuntu installation ? ( this is where I started)
[11:35] <kisuke> godstar moved the jumper  now is showes up gonna try and format it now thanks
[11:37] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: got an old  10GB drive or so your not using?
[11:38] <neil_d> neil_d: otherwise you could make pt3 a set of logical drives
[11:39] <godstar> kisuke: Anytime.
[11:39] <incorrect> is there a standard way to set gcc to 4.2 without manually changing the simlinks, update-alternatives --gcc?
[11:40] <jrib> incorrect: leave default alone and specify CC in your environment when you ./configure
[11:41] <anselm> pcbugfixer: click quit, go to system >>  administration >> partition editor. Delete sda3. click apply. quit partition editor. click installation again. and then use the option use largest continuous space.
[11:41] <rexNebular> hi there. Are there any drawbacks using EXT4 with Jaunty 9.04? ext3 is default.
 - none that i have found so far. am using it on my EeePC with SSD
[11:42] <pcbugfixer> neil_d: Yup I have - how many do you want ? - "you could make pt3 a set of logical drives" sounds interesting ? doing this in or via the ubuntu install ?
[11:42] <incorrect> jrib, oh ok
[11:42] <rexNebular> @tombott thank you
[11:42] <b3rz3rk3r> rexbron, ext4 is brand new, and for small file transfer there is a little extra overhead-time on them. But for large file transfers and the journaling system (like EXT3) its great
[11:43] <godstar> rexNebular: there is a good article, on wikipedia about it. Like tombott, I too am running ext4 on eeePC w SSD and so far so good.
[11:43] <hanshenrik> just made a new folder, and activated "sharing", how can i access that shared folder from an other ubuntu pc?
[11:44] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: 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] <rexNebular> I'm using ext4 with Seagate SATA2  drive, mostly files around 50-4700mb in size.
[11:45] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: I think it can be done via the installer using the manual setup option.   I would be tempted to do it before hand though.
[11:47] <pawel> speaking polish ?
[11:48] <liemtran> hello
[11:48] <pcbugfixer> neil_d:  system has 6 HDD and 2 DVD-RW (4 x SATA HDD, 2 IDE HDD PM and SM and DVD-RW on ps and ss IDE channels) have room for 1 more SAT and 1 IDE through PCI card but do not want to go that way - too many devices in tower case already - thanks
[11:49] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: oh! that is a lot.   so you need to edit the partition table.
[11:51] <jmkgreen> Hi - 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] <jmkgreen> Any ideas?
[11:52] <kromekTM> hej
[11:52] <incorrect> jrib, if you do export CC=4.2 you get sanity check failures
[11:52] <jrib> incorrect: you provide a valid path (i.e. gcc-4.2) to gcc, not a number
[11:53] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: do you need help doing that?
[11:53] <incorrect> jrib, /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 and CPP to /usr/bin/g++-4.2
[11:53] <jrib> incorrect: if that's what you want
[11:54] <pcbugfixer> neil_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] <incorrect> jrib, there are issues with with stuff i am trying to compile
[11:54] <graingert> pcbugfixer, what grieves you young man
[11:56] <pcbugfixer> graingert: thanks for that - after 3 hours on this chat, I needed a laugh - have a daughter 37 and a son 46 - so I much appreciated "pcbugfixer, what grieves you young man"
[11:56] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: 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.
[11:57] <Kryo1> why does my PC beep when I try to use tab completion in terminal?
[11:57] <jrib> incorrect: see note here: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Setting-Output-Variables.html
[11:58] <graingert> pcbugfixer, I am a uni fresher :-p
[11:58] <graingert> pcbugfixer, what's the problem you having?
[11:58] <graingert> pcbugfixer, I only just joined
[11:58] <graingert> Kryo1, becuase it's meant to
[11:59] <graingert> Kryo1, never used a tellytype?
[11:59] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: I haven't tried it, but you should be able to without a swap partition.  then once install add a swap file instead of a partition.
[11:59] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: s/able to/able to setup/
[12:00] <Kryo1> graingert: I don't understand
[12:00] <cheater99> hey guys
[12:00] <cheater99> what's the keyboard shortcut for switching between tabs?
[12:00] <graingert> Kryo1, your computer beeps when you make a typo
[12:00] <cheater99> like say in gedit when i have two files open and want to switch between them
[12:00] <graingert> cheater99, depends what software you are using
[12:00] <cheater99> really? that's terrible
[12:00] <graingert> cheater99, not really
[12:00] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: might e alt+shift+tab
[12:01] <ashok_> i want winamp software for ubuntu where can find can any one tell me the link
[12:01] <graingert> cheater99, I mean you can customise it
[12:01] <neil_d> see http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-swap-adding.html for adding a swap file
[12:01] <Kryo1> graingery: oh...my tab completion doesn't work
[12:01] <graingert> ashok_, clue's in the name
[12:01] <graingert> ashok_, WINamk
[12:01] <graingert> ashok_, WINamp*
[12:01] <cheater99> ActionParsnip1, that just brings up the alt-tab menu but it cycles it the other way around
[12:01] <Kryo1> sorry graingert
[12:01] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: there is no agreed standard for that shortcut so apps are free to use what they wish
[12:01] <cheater99> graingert, how would i customize it?
[12:01] <graingert> ashok_, everyone will hate me for this but try audacoius
[12:01] <ashok_> winamp player
[12:02] <graingert> ashok_, "audacious" it does winamp
[12:02] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: quick websearch yields: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/KeyboardShortcuts
[12:02] <graingert> ashok_, it will wine
[12:02] <hanshenrik> been following https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/internet/C/networking-shares.html, using the "Shared Folders application", but how do i connect to it?
[12:02] <graingert> ashok_, but you are off your head
[12:02] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: ctrl+alt + pg Up/Down
[12:02] <cheater99> ActionParsnip1, ^^ thanks
[12:02] <avemowvip> bon, maintenant il me faudrait le lien pour aller sur ubuntu fr
[12:02] <bhuey> folks, I'm trying to build a kernel with make-kpkg but it's failing with a segv
[12:02] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: websearching solves all
[12:02] <bhuey> any clues ?
[12:02] <cheater99> is that a standard thing that is used in other apps in linux?
[12:02] <cheater99> ActionParsnip1,  right ^^
[12:02] <graingert> ashok_, you can't run Windows programs natively on Linux you need an app layer
[12:02] <DJones> !fr | avemowvip
[12:02] <jrib> hanshenrik: what os are you connecting with?
[12:02] <pcbugfixer> neil_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 t
[12:02] <graingert> cheater99, what standards?
[12:03] <hanshenrik> jrib: from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.04
[12:03] <graingert> cheater99, I don't think we have those things round here
[12:03] <cheater99> graingert, i'm not sure what you mean.
[12:03] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: 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 Vista
[12:03] <jrib> hanshenrik: there should be some sort of "network locations" entry in your Places menu
[12:03] <graingert> cheater99, standards...
[12:03] <cheater99> great
[12:03] <graingert> !wine | ashok_
[12:03] <cheater99> graingert, i was just wondering if alt-c^pgup and pgdn are used in other apps
[12:03] <graingert> !winamp
[12:03] <ashok_> i want music player where can i download it but not a default players in ubuntu
[12:04] <hanshenrik> jrib: see "Network" and "Connect to Server..."
[12:04] <cheater99> ActionParsnip1, never used vista :)
[12:04] <ActionParsnip1> !players | ashok_
[12:04] <jrib> hanshenrik: try network
[12:04] <graingert> ashok_, why?
[12:04] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: it moves them round like a 3D pack of cards
[12:04] <Tech-desk> )))))
[12:04] <cheater99> graingert, do you think standards in user interfaces are detrimental?
[12:04] <graingert> ashok_, also I don't understand you
[12:04] <graingert> cheater99, no only in GUI's
[12:04] <cheater99> ActionParsnip1, i've seen that once on linux :) cool thing
[12:04] <hanshenrik> there i got up a window showing "Windows Network" (only)
[12:04] <canbrais> hallo everybody
[12:04] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: You can have only 4 primary partition... but you can take any primary partition and split it into any number of logical partitions.. this is a standard used by Windows and Linux.
[12:04] <indus> canbrais: hallo
[12:05] <jrib> hanshenrik: and when you click on it?
[12:05] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: http://www.techmixer.com/foxtab-attractive-quick-switch-between-firefox-tab/
[12:05] <graingert> cheater99, mechadiversity is important
[12:05] <Kryo1> graingert, I understand now what you mean by typo...dir names are case sensitive
[12:05] <canbrais> hows life?
[12:05] <ActionParsnip1> cheater99: its for folks who get their jollys from pointless eyecandy
[12:05] <hanshenrik> jrib: hey now it works xD (tired it a minute ago, then it just gave some error)
[12:05] <jrib> hanshenrik: cool
[12:05] <ashok_> i want several website for ubuntu application
[12:05] <hanshenrik> jrib: well thanks
[12:05] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: I had a drive with I think it was 16 partitions with both Windows98 and Linux on them
[12:05] <graingert> Kryo1, yeah blame Windows for being strange with there FS's
[12:06] <graingert> ashok_, dude you even there?
[12:06] <ActionParsnip1> ashok_: a lot of apps you will come across are in the repos
[12:06] <canbrais> ive been trying to download ubuntu 9 and well ..
[12:06] <cheater99> graingert, 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] <cheater99> is that mechadiverse enough for you?
[12:06] <jrib> hanshenrik: no problem, there are command line clients (smbclient) and you can do "smb://server/share" in nautilus's location bar as well
[12:06] <graingert> cheater99, you have the source code
[12:06] <graingert> cheater99, you can make it do whatever you like
[12:06] <cheater99> but it's not mechadiverse right now
[12:06] <cheater99> you should be raising your fist :)
[12:06] <graingert> cheater99, perhaps
[12:07] <rexNebular> what are the optimum sizes for partitions /, /home, /swap   on a 750gb drive 3gb ram
[12:07] <graingert> cheater99, actually this is already supported:  let's have it select (but not open) files in nautilus, let's have it select and open files in another file browser
[12:07] <canbrais> ubuntu was my first linux op when i started learning abpout linux
[12:07] <remoteCTR1> can anybody recommend me a really goog stereo speaker system?
[12:07] <pipa> Anyone got recomendations for a bit torrent client which uses .metalink files for downloading testing iso's, thanks
[12:07] <cheater99> amazing
[12:08] <ActionParsnip1> rexNebular: i'd say 10Gb for /, 2Gb swap, the rest for /home
[12:08] <cheater99> let's have every application confuse the hell out of you so that you can't actually get any work done and instead have to learn every user interface from ground up
[12:08] <ActionParsnip1> !ot | remoteCTR
[12:08] <L3dPlatedLinux> was wondering if there was a way to make a nfs mount auto unmount after say 20 mins of inactivity ?
[12:08] <graingert> cheater99, ever heard of vi?
[12:08] <remoteCTR1> hi there ActionParsnip1 i know its a little offtopic, sry...
[12:08] <alex___> hey everyone
[12:08] <dual> Any good software or website where I can make something like this? http://www.bibalex.org/Libraries/images/15000/Org_Chart.jpg
[12:09] <cheater99> graingert, is that a point?
[12:09] <rexNebular> isn't 10gb / partition small for 64bit 9.04
[12:09] <graingert> cheater99, a point to me I think
[12:09] <cheater99> so the fact that i have heard of vi proves something to you? cool.
[12:09]  * cheater99 goes to do something else
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> stupid win32 pidgin, crashes if you even look at the tab key too often
[12:10] <cheater99> ActionParsnip, :)
[12:10] <alex___> rexNebular: not really
[12:10] <rexNebular> ActionParsnip: welcome back. Isn't 10gb / partition small for 64bit 9.04?
[12:11] <hanshenrik> sudo cp * /var/www     - will that copy all files/folders/folder cotains in current folder to /var/www?
[12:11] <alex___> bah! if linux was just a *little* better i could stick with it for personal use
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> rexNebular: my 64bit desktop occupys about 3Gb only
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> rexNebular: so 10Gb will be plenty
[12:11] <graingert> alex___, you have the source
[12:11] <rexNebular> k thx
[12:11] <alex___> hanshenrik: use the -r recursive tag
[12:12] <hanshenrik> sudo cp -r * /var/www     - will that copy all files/folders/folder cotains in current folder to /var/www?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> rexNebular: ubuntu isnt full of bloat and crap like windows, so you can get away wilth small partitions, you could even use 5Gb and be ok
[12:12] <tavi> hy
[12:12] <tavi> a game similar to caeasar 3 in linux
[12:12] <alex___> graingert: they're doing a great job with the source, i think i just want the best of both worlds
[12:13] <graingert> alex___, I use it too
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> tavi: globulous, freeciv
[12:13] <rexNebular> ActionParsnip: that's why I purged all my workstations yesterday. I asked size because I did not want size problems while using VirtualBox or something.
[12:14] <alex___> graingert: at work it would be a pain to use windows, at home it's the reverse. if only things were simple
[12:14] <pcbugfixer> neil_d: System3 was my test station with 16 primary partitions on 6 HDD plus 2 drive letters for the DVD's plus 4 for the card reader and 1 for the FDD and one for the Zip = 24 and only 2 left for externals hence my revamp of every workstation

[12:19] <ashok_> where can i find flash games for ubuntu
[12:19] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: first you need to delete pt3... then create an extended partition in its place... then create logical partitions (which will be in the extended partition)
[12:19] <graingert> pcbugfixer, format partition 3 as an logical volume
[12:20] <marcosRz> By using ppa will I increase the chance of breakage in UPGRADES of the distribution (ex : jaunty --> karmic) ?

[12:25] <whit2spring> graingert, thx
[12:25] <aaron11_> iceroot: im trying to connect from a linux
[12:25] <graingert> whit2spring, too beta
[12:25] <graingert> whit2spring, atm
[12:25] <Shawn-> ziroday Whats the right place
[12:25] <kisuke> aaron11_ ##windows is the windows channel try "/join ##windows
[12:25] <iceroot> aaron11_: doesnt matter
[12:25] <neil_d> aaron11_: have you tried ping yet to test ip number etc.
[12:25] <graingert> bazhang, what about the wtfpl?
[12:25] <whit2spring> graingert, ok
[12:26] <rexNebular> Shawn: check Python.org for "Python Ports"
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> aaron11_: can you telnet to the port?
[12:26] <aaron11_> ActionParsnip: no not from the linux
[12:26] <bazhang> graingert, please stay on topic or join the suggested channel to discuss.
[12:26] <ziroday> whit2spring: erm there are several available if you google for "chrome extensions". Not sure how many of those would run on ubuntu however
[12:26] <graingert> bazhang, dude
[12:26] <aaron11_> neil_d: yes i tried pinging
[12:26] <whit2spring> ziroday, ok thx man
[12:27] <graingert> pcbugfixer, anyway yeah use the alternate cd to make an LVM
[12:27] <yogg> Hi, what software should i use to monitor a hw raid on ubuntu 8.04 64bit?
[12:27] <ziroday> yogg: mdadm I would imagine
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> aaron11_: can you pingthe server by name and / or IP?
[12:27] <graingert> pcbugfixer, http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem
[12:27] <chris8> Hey room!  is there a specialty audio help channel?
[12:28] <kisuke> http://paste.ubuntu.com/282067/ any help trouble shooting gparted error messages?
[12:28] <iceroot> aaron11_: can you run ssh local on the windows-pc? ssh localhost
[12:28] <aaron11_> ActionParsnip: i can ping it with Munna-PC and 115.X.X.X.X
[12:28] <mcmlxxi> is it better to download printer drivers from the manufacturer's site or openprinting.org?
[12:28] <yogg> mdadm is ony for softwarerads if I understand the wiki right?
[12:28] <pcbugfixer> neil_d: ActionParsnip1: anselm: ubottu: and graingert: - thanks for all your suggestions - I need a break, been here since 5:30 - so I will have a stiff White Heather (25 year old) and think about all the suggestions - and try to work out the simplified version of a clear set of instructions from all your input - thanks again.
[12:28] <iceroot> mcmlxxi: i guess depending on the printer
[12:29] <ziroday> mcmlxxi: the printing setup application should do that automatically for you
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi:  id be suprised iof you even find any on the printer makers sites..
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> aaron11_: ok thats good, then some firewall is blocking the connection or the service isnt running, or its running on a different port you expect
[12:29] <graingert> pcbugfixer, cool
[12:29] <neil_d> pcbugfixer: ok bye
[12:29] <graingert> pcbugfixer, I will buy a beer to celebrate
[12:29] <mcmlxxi> ziroday, do what?
[12:29] <ziroday> mcmlxxi: download the printer driver
[12:30] <mcmlxxi> let me try
[12:30] <aaron11_> ActionParsnip: no i configured it properly to accept services tcp and port 22 and 23 so it should work , oh and btw its running right now
[12:30] <anselm> pcbugfixer: bye
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> aaron11_: either way its not supported here as it is a windows app so you'd best ask in ##windows
[12:30] <chris8> hey room;  I've installed Realplayer 11 but it caused distortion on all my other audio progs... Uninstalled Realplayer but distortion remains; i've put the audio driver settings back to normal and rebooted and there's still distortion... there's even distortion on the sound that plays when Ububunt loads :S  help me
[12:31] <graingert> chris8, dude, RealPlayer?
[12:31] <chris8> it was for porn
[12:31] <graingert> chris8, how did you install it
[12:31] <chris8> i know i know
[12:31] <rexNebular> lol
[12:31] <yogg> ziroday: the wiki says mdadm is only for softwarerayds. Or is there a way to monitor my hw raid with mdadm?
[12:32] <graingert> chris8, uh consider using vlc/mplayer
[12:32] <chris8> Graingert: as bin...
[12:32] <Crosswing> Hi. Does Brasero finalize a CD by default? If so, how do I enable multi session?
[12:32] <bullgard4> What command determines the name of my wireless network card?
[12:32] <nadarilla> you enable the enabling machine
[12:32] <graingert> chris8, so it could have done ANYTHING to your system?!
[12:32] <chris8> GrGert: i normally use mplayer... for my videos
[12:32] <graingert> chris8, anway have you got the medibuntu repos
[12:32] <ziroday> yogg: no, not sure about hardware raid sorry
[12:32] <ziroday> bullgard4: the driver does
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> i will alsohave to add in . realplayer is proberly not needed. I can play most every real media file ive found with mplayer or vlc.
[12:32] <chris8> GG: yuppers all medibunti
[12:33] <yogg> ziroday: ok thx
[12:33] <kisuke> http://paste.ubuntu.com/282067/ any help trouble shooting gparted error messages?
[12:33] <graingert> chris8, ok well you might have to re-install
[12:33] <pcbugfixer> will keep you all posted when I have the instructions worked out - bye :-D
[12:33] <mcmlxxi> ziroday, it says Unable to connect to CIFS host
[12:33] <graingert> chris8, .bin installers can do untold damage
[12:33] <panfist> i have a bad issue...my ubuntu server disk is full but i dont know what to delete. how can i tell disk usage by folder from the command line?
[12:33] <graingert> chris8, especially at root access
[12:33] <bullgard4> ziroday: How can I determine what the driver of my wireless network card is?
[12:33] <chris8> GG: reinstall the whole operating system?
[12:33] <ziroday> chris8: does this happen when you create a new user?
[12:33] <ziroday> bullgard4: what card is it?
[12:34] <ziroday> chris8: (as in create a new test user, play sounds. Distortion?)
[12:34] <chris8> Ziroday: the sound distortion is affecting all past users
[12:34] <graingert> chris8, yep, that'l teach you for installing non-repo software
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> panfist:  theres some apt commands taht can remove/clean the /var/cache/archives directory. that can get quite large at times
[12:34] <graingert> chris8 ;-)
[12:34] <chris8> GG: thanks :S
[12:34] <yogg> Has anyone an idea which software I should use to monitor a hw raid?
[12:34] <bullgard4> ziroday: It is an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2].
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> panfist: to clear old debs out to free space run: sudo apt-get clean
[12:34] <anselm> pcbugfixer: iwconfig will show you
[12:35] <ziroday> bullgard4: right well then its most likely the err
[12:35] <chris8> GG : oh god reinstalling took forever
[12:35] <chris8> Ziroday: think i may be able to fix my sound problem?
[12:35] <bullgard4> ziroday: I beg your pardon? I cannot see any error.
[12:35]  * Dr_Willis wonders how apt-get autoclean differs from apt-get clean
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> clean 'really really' cleans it out. :) autoclean just removed some.
[12:36] <ziroday> bullgard4: sorry was trying to remember the name. The driver is ipw2200, it should appear in lsmod
[12:36] <ziroday> chris8: nope, sorry! But I can make the reinstall easier ::)
[12:36] <panfist> dr_willis and actionparsnip, thanks
[12:36] <anselm> bullgard4: iwconfig will show you the driver and the card name
[12:37] <chris8> Ziroday: i'll take anything!  I just upgraded this OS to jaunty from 8.04....
[12:37] <chris8> took forever
[12:37] <mauro> hi guys, does anyone know how to gzip all files and directories in one gzip file?
[12:38] <ziroday> chris8: 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 preserved
[12:38] <ziroday> chris8: 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 fresh
[12:40] <chris8> Ziroday:  can't i just reinstall jaunty from the website?
[12:40] <chris8> Ziroday: or will it only download what it *thinks* should be updated?
[12:41] <chris8> Ziroday: i did a full OS upgrade from intrepid to jaunty online w/o having to backup any local files...
[12:41] <ziroday> chris8: 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 saved
[12:41] <mcmlxxi> ziroday, 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?
[12:42] <ziroday> chris8: OS reinstalls and OS upgrades are very different
[12:42] <ziroday> mcmlxxi: sure
[12:42] <chris8> ziroday: so to reinstall i hafta format the harddrive etc...
[12:43] <shadowmancer> hey all
[12:43] <shadowmancer> i'm looking for some clarification here
[12:43] <ziroday> chris8: not format, but overwrite. You can format if you want to
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi:  you may want to check your /etc/samba/smb.conf to be sure its set to the same workgroup as you are wanting to access
[12:43] <NinjA-77> Jason_0123
[12:43] <shadowmancer> i got 9.04 on an intel celeron 2.6 single core
[12:43] <shadowmancer> and its runnning like windows vista but slower\
[12:43] <aaron11_> ActionParsnip: noone is responding
[12:43] <shadowmancer> its got a gig of ram
[12:43] <chris8> ziroday:  can't i just somehow completely reinstall all the audio from jaunty? :(
[12:43] <mcmlxxi> Dr_Willis, my own?
[12:43] <shadowmancer> and a radeon 9250
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: what video card?
[12:43] <ziroday> chris8: nope
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi:  yes.. and be sure the names are set the same.....
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: have you installed at ATi driver for your card yet?
[12:44] <chris8> ziroday: what about some hidden setting that i may be overlooking?
[12:44] <ziroday> chris8: you'll have to go find that :)
[12:44] <mcmlxxi> Dr_Willis, they are the same
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi:  windows boxs like to default to one name.. and ubuntu defaults to a different one i recall
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> aaron11_: its not an ubuntu issue so isnt supported here
[12:44] <chris8> ziroday: is there a special audio help channel?
[12:44] <shadowmancer> yes
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi:  i normally always install the full samba server package  and other related tools also. could be somthing is missing.
[12:44] <ziroday> chris8: #ubuntu-audio or #ubuntu-sound perhaps
[12:44] <shadowmancer> and even when i was running the onboard it was the same
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: are you running desktop effects per chance?
[12:44] <chris8> ziroday:  thank you for the hellp :P
[12:45] <shadowmancer> no made sure not to
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi:  i also always give the linux users samba passwords identical to their windows passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username'
[12:45] <shadowmancer> no made sure not to
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: could use a lighter DE like LXDE, XFCE, Fluxbox etc
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: can use $USER for that ;)
[12:45] <shadowmancer> can't
[12:45] <Bendt> ? Cannot disable screensaver in ubuntu 9.04. Kiosk computer keeps turning screen black.
[12:46] <shadowmancer> my gf needs the comp
[12:46] <shadowmancer> its hers
[12:46] <shadowmancer> and she wants to run WoW :(
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  i do it for all the users...   all 5 of us. :)
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: WoW will still run no matter what DE you use
[12:46] <mcmlxxi> Dr_Willis, but I used to be able to print before I upgraded to jaunty (I think that was the time)
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> mcmlxxi:  check the samba logs and cups logs I guess..
[12:46] <shadowmancer> serious i thought wine would cause a couple issues without gnome
[12:46] <shadowmancer> or so i assumed
[12:47] <shadowmancer> and i don't think its the DE
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> shadowmancer:   compiz Can cause issues with games in wine
[12:47] <bullgard4> anselm: Where do you find in http://pastebin.ca/1585848 the driver and the card name?
[12:47] <incorrect> can anyone get the movie trailers on apple to play in their browser?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: none at all, a lighter DE will just be more responsive on the desktop, when the game runs it will be fullscren so it doesnt matter
[12:47] <shadowmancer> like i run firefox and it swallows the resources like michael jackson and little boys
[12:47] <bazhang> shadowmancer, that is not appropriate for here
[12:47] <tavi> how can i switch from an aplciation to another ?
[12:48] <shadowmancer> i apologize
[12:48] <Blizzerand> tavi : aplciation ?? , whats thaT
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: it does that, try a lighter browser like swiftfox, kazenchase or firepup
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: or try opera, chromium etc
[12:48] <shadowmancer> what about galeon
[12:48] <mcmlxxi> Dr_Willis, this is the latest message in /var/log/cups/access.log localhost - - [30/Sep/2009:14:42:53 +0300] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 163 Get-Job-Attributes successful-ok
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: that too, or midori
[12:49] <Jyxt> shadowmancer: dillo is a good lightweight browser as well
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: despite what people think, there are more browsers than firefox
[12:49] <tavi> from an aplicattion
[12:49] <anselm> bullgard4: sorry On my computer it's there
[12:49] <brijith> Please help me ... I have some issues with my graphics, graphics driver is intel graphics media accelarator  (Intel GMA 3100) Max resolution 2048*1536*32 bpp(@75Hz) Horizondal: 127.5KHz,Vertical: 75Hz
[12:50] <shadowmancer> yeah i know i would tell her to use lynx but i think she would kill me :P
[12:50] <shadowmancer> or atleast beat me
[12:50] <bullgard4> anselm: "Works for me" is seldomly a good answer.
[12:50] <mcmlxxi> tavi, alt+tab
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: try firepup or swiftfox, they are lighter in ram
[12:50] <tavi> don't work
[12:50] <tavi> that's in windows
[12:50] <Bendt> I have a computer on a 40" tv, running 9.04. It is supposed to act as a info-kiosk - pretty much just showing a slideshow all the time, but the damn thing keep turning screensaver on  (or atleast turning screen off). PLEASE HELP
[12:50] <Jyxt> links is a good browser as well...has gui interface
[12:51] <mcmlxxi> tavi, try Super key+Tab
[12:51] <shadowmancer> i don't think its a ram issue
[12:51] <tavi> super?
[12:51] <mcmlxxi> tavi, it works in linux too
[12:51] <shadowmancer> i got a gig of it and 2 gigs of swap
[12:51] <mcmlxxi> windows key
[12:51] <tavi> mcmlxxi: at me no
[12:51] <shadowmancer> and my swap is never touched
[12:51] <tavi> a
[12:51] <tavi> yes
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: you can set your swappiness to 1 and it should be nicer
[12:52] <Blizzerand> !links
[12:53] <shadowmancer> i just let ubuntu do that for me, its my gf's not mine :P i got a laptop with 4 gigs of swap i gave that 200mb of swap
[12:54] <mcmlxxi> tavi, under System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts, find the line that begins with Move between windows
[12:54] <shadowmancer> i mean
[12:54] <shadowmancer> 4 gig of ram and 200mb of swap
[12:54] <Blizzerand> !info mediawiki
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: i just give 2gb regardless
[12:54] <Bendt> how do i disable screensaver in ubuntu 9.04
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Bendt: system -> prefs -> screensaver
[12:55] <Blizzerand> Why is it that mediawiki is not updated to 1.15.1
[12:55] <bazhang> Blizzerand, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro
[12:55] <brijith> Bendt: Go to System->preferences->screensavers there you can  disable screensavees ,, :)
[12:55] <shadowmancer> i personally question swap mainly cause of the performance issues it causes
[12:55] <shadowmancer> i've read some things saying its not noticable but its like\
[12:56] <tavi> can't do it
[12:56] <shadowmancer> yeah maybe but better safe then sorry
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: if you set the swappiness to a low value the system will try and keep the running system in ram rather than use the swap
[12:56] <Blizzerand> bazhang : IT may not be but 1.15.1 was released long time ago and ubuntu repos are still having the old 1.13
[12:57] <brijith> Please help me ... I have some issues with my graphics, graphics driver is intel graphics media accelarator  (Intel GMA 3100) Max resolution 2048*1536*32 bpp(@75Hz) Horizondal: 127.5KHz,Vertical: 75Hz

[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Blizzerand: there are PPAs with it all over
[12:58] <iceroot> if i am running ./configure and make but nocht makeinstall (i am not root) can is use that program? is makeinstall just copying the files to /etc/ /usr/ and so on?
[12:59] <kisuke> !nivida |brijith
[12:59] <shadowmancer> i dunno whats going on even when it says 0 things are going i can sometimes type faster then it can refresh

[12:59] <kisuke> !ati |brijith
[12:59] <bazhang> its nvidia
[12:59] <kisuke> brijith that help?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: make compiles the source with the config from configure, make install is the only step needing root (assuming you are compiling in your own home folder) as you will be writing to where you dont have write access
[13:00] <brijith> kisuke: thanks let me read ... :)
[13:00] <kisuke> what is the command to write zero to a drive?
[13:00] <kisuke> brijith no prblem
[13:00] <Jyxt> kisuke: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
[13:00] <shadowmancer> on a laptop with less specs then this piece of crap i was pulling 60fps everytime with hardy
[13:00] <Jyxt> or whatever
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> kisuke: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<partition name>
[13:00] <shadowmancer> i can't fathom whats going on
[13:00] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: so i only need root because it wants to access /etc/ and so on. if i say, use /home for the installation, i dont need root?
[13:00] <shadowmancer> is it something with 9.04 is it the vista of ubuntu
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> kisuke: the command will destroy ANY data on the thing you use in the command so be CAREFUL
[13:00] <kisuke> jyxt actionparsnip1 thanks
[13:01] <guest_007> How to limit user's memory usage?
[13:01] <shadowmancer> and i apologize if thats offensive
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: correct, the make you can do as yourself provided you have write access where you are compiling
[13:01] <zdravka> how to add support for specific language for non-sudo user?
[13:01] <bullgard4> ziroday: Thank you for your help.
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: try some better configs, there are guides all over
[13:02] <kisuke> actionparsnip i know nothing on the drive except a swap found this to fix a short read error
[13:02] <anselm> bullgard4: does lshw -C network doesn't work for you
[13:02] <bullgard4> zdravka: Depends on the version of your Ubuntu. At the log-in screen you can select your preferrred locale.
[13:02] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: thank you alot, then i will do some "make" instead of "apt-get" to learn more about it. (its just a test-vm)
[13:03] <guest_007> ulimit -m: max memory size         (kbytes, -m) 1048576 #  but he still can get off that limit! how to fix?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> kisuke: sudo fdisk -l    will show you your disks and partitions, you use those names (E.g. /dev/sdb7) to write zeros to the partiton

[13:09] <zdravka> bullgard4: thank you. one general question: how to administer non-sudoers from console... where can I beginn, any link?
[13:10] <zamba> zdravka: what do you mean by administer?
[13:10] <leaf-sheep> larry1: Well it is 7:09 AM here. :)  In the afternoon/evening, perhaps.
[13:10] <zdravka> zamba: add privileges or install software for example
[13:10] <testi_> MonoDevelop doesn't seem to complete my code nor does it seem to detect at editing time if it will compile.
[13:11] <testi_> Though code autocompletion is enabled..
[13:12] <prospire> whats the command in ubuntu to zip a file?
[13:12] <mazpe> unzip
[13:13] <mazpe> i'm hoping that zip is not a ubuntu thing eh =)
[13:13] <prospire> mazpe: can you give me the whole command?
[13:13] <mazpe> man unzip
[13:13] <mazpe> its not that hard dude.. really
[13:13] <mazpe> unzip file.zip come on
[13:14] <sipior> prospire: "zip", if you are in fact looking to archive some files.
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> zip and unzip for zip archives...     others for .bz2 and so forth
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> !zip
[13:14] <prospire> k, I'll see to it
[13:14] <prospire> bye all
[13:14] <mazpe> thats just straight lazy
[13:15] <yogg> how can i monitor a hw raid on ubuntu 8.04 64bit?
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> mazpe: KISS ideology
[13:16] <mazpe> ActionParsnip: perhaps KIRS = Keep It Really Stupid
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> mazpe: i have an abstraction for zip that looks at the filename given to it then unzips it with the appropriate tool
[13:16] <leissi> hmm
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> mazpe: really super lazy
[13:16] <leissi> any idea why my flash performance is really low?
[13:17] <leissi> for example youtube videos are choppy as hell
[13:17] <mazpe> ActionParsnip: thats cool though
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> leissi: have you installed video drivers
[13:17] <leissi> yes
[13:17] <[newbie]> CIAO
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> leissi: do you have any other flash plugins installed like gnash or swfdec
[13:17] <[newbie]> !LIST
[13:17] <iceroot> leissi: flash is not stepping the cpu correctly. have a look at google for flash + stepping + ubuntu. i am at work so i cant browse the web, sorry
[13:19] <prappl93> Is there a way to stop my system from beeping when I turn it off, or is that how Ubuntu is made to work?
[13:20] <aaron11_> SockPants: wow your here too
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> prappl93: blacklist pcspkr
[13:21]  * Dr_Willis seconds the blacklisting of pcspkr
[13:21] <Comnenus> Does anyone know how to use dpkg to install packagse but skip the config menus?  I have to install the package on multiple machines and will drop in the config files later.
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> i have to do that on one laptop. .or it beeps LOUDLY on shutdown
[13:22] <prappl93> ActionParsnip, how do I do that
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> !blacklist
[13:23] <Jyxt> will the command: tar -cvvfpP /mnt/usb/everything.tar /
[13:23] <Jyxt> backup everything?
[13:24] <iceroot> !backup | Jyxt
[13:24] <torgrimt> Jyxt: cd /mnt/usb && find -xdev / | xargs cpio -p . is much smarter ;)
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> torgrimt: nice :)
[13:25] <torgrimt> ActionParsnip: might want to tweek some of the options, just took it out of my head
[13:25] <torgrimt> ActionParsnip: but find -xdev is for not taking all the other filesystems. so you dont end up copying /mnt/usb aswell ;)
[13:25] <prappl93> ActionParsnip, what does that do entirely? Does that stop all system beeps but keep my sound card working?
[13:26] <Jyxt> torgrimt: what kind of file does that make? and when restoring whats the command?
[13:26] <leissi> hmm
[13:26] <leissi> now normal sized video works on youtube but fullscreen is terribly bad
[13:26] <mazpe> does this makes sense of good use of a 500G? http://paste.ubuntu.com/282129/
[13:26] <mazpe> 500GB HD
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> prappl93: theres an annoying module called pcspkr that makes noises, if you blacklist it then if the system tries to load it the kernel will not allow it as it is forbade
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> mazpe:  do  You really need to  use lvm? some times it can be more hassle then its worth
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> prappl93: the sounds from your soundcard will work as the modules for the sound card are allowed to load
[13:29] <prappl93> So, will these take place the next time I restart?
[13:29] <mazpe> Dr_Willis: it can be... currently i'm using EXT3-FS
[13:29] <invitingdopeman> ]\
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> prappl93: you can run: sudo rmmod pcspkr   and it will be removed in this boot
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> mazpe:  i found it easier to jus keep things simple. :)
[13:30] <mazpe> Dr_Willis: it can be rewarding...
[13:30] <prappl93> So, PCSPKR is the internal card then?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> prappl93:  its the internal SPEAKER :) thats not the same as a interna sound card
[13:31] <prappl93> Well, thats what I meant... I gotta go in a few
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> prappl93:  motherboards normally have a built in little bitty speaker.
[13:31] <mazpe> Dr_Willis: until you urgently need a feature that its not available and simplicity doesnt seem like such a good idea anymore.. lol
[13:31] <mazpe> Dr_Willis: most of the time it just rewarding to get it work period
[13:31] <mazpe> :)
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> mazpe:  most of the time i see lvm mentioned in here.. people are trying to recover it..
[13:32] <lizzzy> So how do I link my home folder to my desktop?
[13:32] <mazpe> Dr_Willis: agreed
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> lizzzy:  theres a gnome option to use /home/USERNAME as your Desktop. but that would make a cluttered desktop.
[13:32] <biglinux> 5555
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> lizzzy:  or link /home/username/Desktop to /home/username   i guess.
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> recursive links.. :) stay out of Desktop/Deskop/Desktop/Desktop if ya do taht I guess.
[13:33] <slacker_nl> !keyserver
[13:33] <mazpe> Dr_Willis: well i'm going to be running a bunch of virtual machines from this server
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> lizzzy: do you want a shortcut to your docs sat on the desktop?
[13:34] <lizzzy> ActionParsnip: No, I just want a link to my home folder on my desktop.
[13:34] <SockPants> hi again
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> lizzzy: cd ~/Desktop; ln -s $HOME .
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> lizzzy: that will do it
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> lizzzy:  that wasent exactly what you asked.. or i missread it...
[13:34] <lizzzy> Oh kewl. Thanks...
[13:35] <lizzzy> sorry Dr_Willis. Will be clearer the next time.
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Err.. I got a Home Icon on my desktop.....

[13:44] <yuwei> hello
[13:45] <aaron11> hi
[13:45] <dual> Has anyone here ever used Devil's Pie for Gnome. It doesn't seem to work anymore :(
[13:45] <xukun> where can I ask things about ekiga sip client which is included in ubuntu?
[13:46] <Pici> dual: It won't work if you're using compiz.
[13:46] <indus> xukun: this would be a good place to ask
[13:46] <NorwayGeek> sound does still not work
[13:46] <aaron11> does anyone know about the computer system 76
[13:46] <dual> Pici: Ah, that may be the reason, Thanks. Um.. why doesn't it work with compiz?
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  they sell computers.. :)
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> dual: compiz breaks lots
[13:47] <famille> salut!
[13:47] <kervel> octave
[13:47] <Pici> ActionParsnip: It doesnt break devilspie. devilspie was designed for metacity, compiz isn't metacity.

[13:47] <kisuke> actionparsip dual major understatment
[13:47] <NorwayGeek> ><
[13:47] <dual> ActionParsnip, heh, well. I'll go ahead and turn it off then
[13:47] <xukun> I,m using ekiga to connect to our company's sip server but I'm missing the "realm/domain" option in the client. Any idea where that is?
[13:47] <aaron11> !china
[13:47] <jameson> hello
[13:47] <xukun> indus, thnaks
[13:47] <xukun> thanks*
[13:48] <aaron11> !chinese | yuwei
[13:48] <indus> xukun: also, if question goes unanswered here, also try #ekiga
[13:48] <kisuke> xukun that would be the URL your company uses
[13:49] <xukun> kisuke, where is that option in ekiga?
[13:50] <melvster1> what's the easiest language for making simple guis in ubuntu?  ive been looking at java swing, python, gtk ... all seems like a bit of a maze, any tips for getting started?
[13:50] <NorwayGeek> i'd say GTK, sorry
[13:50] <aaron11> melvster1: why not try kturtle
[13:50] <aaron11> XD
[13:50] <erUSUL> melvster1: probably python + pygtk ??
[13:51] <melvster1> ah thanks, ill give that a try!
[13:51] <kisuke> xukun look under the advanced tab i don't use ekiga but that what it is refering to , networking terms stay the same regardless
[13:51] <xukun> kisuke, I will thanks
[13:52] <aaron11> SockPants: i need you to help me with the question the speed is same
[13:52] <NorwayGeek> ActionParsnip my sound does still not work :/
[13:53] <aaron11> NorwayGeek: try searching the web or launchpad for drivers
[13:53] <NorwayGeek> nothing is wrong with the drivers
[13:53] <NorwayGeek> my sound worked earlier today
[13:53] <NorwayGeek> it has worked for 2 weeks
[13:53] <NorwayGeek> it just suddenly was muted or w\e today :\
[13:53] <bazhang> aaron11, launchpad would not be a source of drivers
[13:53] <kisuke> norway geek are you useing flash at all (i.e. useing youtube, e.t.c.)?
[13:53] <NorwayGeek> yes
[13:53] <SockPants> i've added the user to the 'root' group but now it says it's in 'nogroup'.. how do i give a user access to system files owned by root?

[13:53] <aaron11> SockPants: helo :)
[13:53] <xukun> join #ekiga
[13:53] <paradisos7> #hellas
[13:54] <aaron11> saockthe speed is the same (please respond
[13:54] <kisuke> norwaygeek flash likes to grab the sound so nothing else gets access.
[13:54] <kisuke> xukun no luck?
[13:55] <aaron11> SockPants: speed is the same (please respond
[13:55] <NorwayGeek> :\ ill try to see if flash has sound
[13:55] <xukun> kisuke, no there is nothing like realm/domain anywhere
[13:55] <iceroot> SockPants: with sudo :)
[13:55] <SockPants> iceroot: how about permanent
[13:55] <iceroot> SockPants: su
[13:56] <SockPants> iceroot: i mean really permanent

[13:56] <Qu4R0w> any1 can tell me how to install gloobus-preview and how to run it?
[13:56] <iceroot> SockPants: what about login is as root?
[13:56] <kisuke> norwaygeek are your speakers on?
[13:57] <aaron11> iceroot: what is SockPants 's problem?
[13:57] <NorwayGeek> they do not have an "on" switch, they're internal, its a hp pavilion notebook
[13:57] <aboanas93> i want to use ftp in ubuntu
[13:57] <xukun> kisuke, oh that I'n already thanks for your concern
[13:57] <brianm> what package do i need to install for nvidia kernel module?
[13:57] <bazhang> iceroot, not a good idea to log in as root
[13:57] <aboanas93> ftp in ubuntu
[13:57] <iceroot> aaron11: he wants to be able to access all files that belont to root
[13:57] <Qu4R0w> aboanas93: try gftp
[13:57] <kisuke> xukun NP :)
[13:57] <bazhang> aaron11, did you have a ubuntu issue
[13:57] <iceroot> bazhang: dont tell me, tell SockPants
[13:57] <SockPants> iceroot: i'm trying to use NFS to edit system files. i could use 'root' but then i couldn't distinguish between the nfs user and root, so i made a separate user called 'nfsuser' and want it to be in the root group so it can write anywhere root can
[13:57] <aboanas93> i try it
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> aboanas93:  you wan tto run a FTP server? or access a ftp server?
[13:57] <aboanas93> access
[13:57] <aaron11> bazhang: yes and windows issue
[13:57] <NorwayGeek> you can use ubuntu's connect to server function or filezilla
[13:58] <aaron11> SockPants:  login as root
[13:58] <bazhang> aaron11, then discuss in ##windows not here
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> aboanas93:  thers dozens of ftp clients.. and many file maagers can work as ftp clients also
[13:58] <aboanas93> whre
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> Qu4R0w: download the bin file and mark it as executale with: chmod +x ./<file> then simply run it with ./<file>
[13:58] <aaron11> SockPants: use su and root passwd

[13:58] <aboanas93> where
[13:58] <Pici> !noroot | aaron11 SockPants
[13:58] <bazhang> aaron11, that is not good advice. Please stop
[13:58] <NorwayGeek> aboanas93: sudo apt-get install filezilla <- filezilla is a very good one
[13:58] <Qu4R0w> ActionParsnip: i install via apt-get install
[13:58] <kisuke> brianm try system>resticted drivers that will tell you what can be used on you system
[13:58] <SockPants> Pici: i don't have a root password set
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> Qu4R0w: if it is on the repo you can use that
[13:59] <aaron11> bazhang: i dont see what was bad advise?
[13:59] <Qu4R0w> ActionParsnip: how to use??
[13:59] <SockPants> !root

[14:00] <Qu4R0w> ActionParsnip: how start gloobus?
[14:00] <Hideme> Can I take my drive out and put it into another machine (all new hardware) and expect the O/S to work (Everything seems ok and picked up) ?
[14:00] <aaron11> bazhang: haha :) you can do sudo passwd root and type your passwd and enter the new passwd for root  after doing that type su and type the passwd you typped in.
[14:00] <kisuke> brianm didn't work how?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Hideme:  for the most part yes..  the video card may be  the main issue.. depending on the cards
[14:00] <bazhang> aaron11, dont recommend it here.
[14:00] <SockPants> i can't 'sudo' edit a file on my server from an nfs client, so i need the nfs user to have access to the files if i want to edit them, right?
[14:00] <bullgard4> lsmod lists ath_hal, ath_pci and ath_rate_sample. Why does it not list ath9k?
[14:01] <kisuke> !root > kisuke

[14:01] <aaron11> bazhang: ok sorry but it works fine in our system
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> Hideme:  it has for a very long time

[14:27] <csgeek> error:   kernel source for kernel 2.6.18-15-server could not be found
[14:28] <kisuke> later people
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> csgeek: yes you'll need your kernel source
[14:28] <aboanas93> bey
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> csgeek: why do you need video drivers if you are running a server?
[14:28] <csgeek> okay.. which package do I need to grab for the kernel source?
[14:29] <csgeek> well, the desktop edition gave me an acid trip on the install, so I tried installing the server then install ubuntu-desktop
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> csgeek: did you verify the desktop ISO as well as verify the CD once first booted to?
[14:29] <yogg> i search for an hw raid monitor tool for ubuntu 8.04 64bit. has someone a good one?
[14:29] <shoss> Hello all. Some programs are kept being loaded up on login even after I unchecked them from the 'Startup Application' applet.. does anyone have any clue how I prevent these persistant programs from loading on login?
[14:30] <foey> yogg : I need one also for a server using a nvidia RAID.
[14:30] <joaopinto> shoss, which type of programas ? That is not expected unless you are talking about applets
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> shoss: uncheck the remeber my session tickbox in the advanced tab in the startup applications dialogue
[14:30] <shoss> forgot to add: using ubuntu 9.04 amd64 Gnome desktop
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> csgeek: did you verify the ISO as well as the burned CD when you tried desktop?
[14:31] <shoss> ActionParsnip: did that, didnt help
[14:31] <yogg> foey: i for an intel / lsi card    but i don't find anything for ubuntu
[14:31] <joaopinto> shoss, please name one of the applications
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> shoss: could also check in ~/.config/autostart
[14:31] <shoss> joaopinto: skype and pidgin
[14:33] <shoss> ActionParsnip: what do I need to check there?
[14:34] <cheslyn> hi everyone
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> shoss: there may be symlinks in there to apps (another way of autorunning stuff) if there is a link in there then you can delete it
[14:34] <shoss> ActionParsnip: both apps that load aren't listed there.
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> shoss: thats ok then
[14:34] <shoss> will ls -la show these syblinks?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> shoss: file *     will show what they link to, the name is a dead giveaway though
[14:35] <Pici> shoss: 'symlinks' and yes. ls -l will show that.
[14:35] <cheslyn> prince_jammys: do you remember with what you helped me
[14:36] <shoss> in that case i can't see any syblinks there

[14:37] <vojacekj_> hi i have problem with my g-pen 450 under xubuntu 9.04 can someone help me?
[14:37] <iceroot> !details | vojacekj_
[14:38] <fatih> hey i am on ubuntu 9.04. and i use google chromium. when i watch youtube videos my cpu shows %70-80. i googled it but no helps. any suggests? thanks.
[14:39] <vojacekj_> ok i tried to make it with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetup
[14:39] <cheslyn> guys can you reset any passwd
[14:40] <shoss> may 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] <Darck1> hi 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 out
[14:40] <puffinman> Hi guys
[14:40] <grawity> Darck1: Don't use /tmp for undelete, then.
[14:40] <erUSUL> cheslyn: yes you can reset any login password if you have access to the machine
[14:40] <puffinman> can anybody tell me what time the Karmic beta is due out?
[14:40] <Jill> hi all.. ubuntu 8.04 support until 2011 or 2013?
[14:40] <grawity> Darck1: (And look at /etc/init.d/)
[14:40] <erUSUL> puffinman: ask in #ubuntu+1
[14:40] <puffinman> sure
[14:40] <puffinman> thanks
[14:40] <vojacekj_> but wehn i calibrate it and change the files and restart xubuntu the tablet is not workink
[14:41] <Darck1> yeah thanks grawit - I already said that. I did a grep in /etc/init.d for tmp but didn't find anything
[14:41] <vojacekj_> the mouse isnot moving
[14:41] <cheslyn> erusul: ok but is it the only passwd that can be reset
[14:41] <erUSUL> Darck1: tmp is called that TeMPorary becouse it is cleaned up in every reboot
[14:41] <Qu4R0w> i type "gloobus-preview" but got this error=NO FILE IN THE CLIPBOARD..how to make it work?
[14:41] <CybeRebel> hello, my dvd/cd drive has stoped mounting, anyone know if this is a ubuntu problem?
[14:41] <erUSUL> cheslyn: what password are you talking about ?
[14:42] <llutz> Darck1: /etc/default/rcS
[14:42] <Darck1> I guess nobody understood my question. I KNOW that I can just use a different directory - and I am going to
[14:42] <grawity> Darck1: Hm. grep -R tmp /etc/rc* then?
[14:42] <Darck1> but 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 it
[14:43] <lizzzy> So, I installed a couple of themes and screwed up the layout of ubuntu. How can I revert back to my original theme?
[14:43] <erUSUL> Darck1: 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 it
[14:43] <cheslyn> erusul:a administrator passwd
[14:43] <Darck1> thank you grawity
[14:43] <eni23> hello. 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/m1eb2d9fc
[14:43] <grawity> cheslyn: Boot to recovery mode, use 'passwd your-username-here'
[14:43] <sheepsy> The 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-*-dev
[14:43] <erUSUL> cheslyn: you want to change it ? go to System>Admin>Users and groups
[14:44] <Darck1> I was too busy typing to see llutz's comment
[14:44] <eni23> how can i fix this crap?
[14:44] <Darck1> thank you llutz
[14:44] <llutz> Darck1: /etc/init.d/mountall-bootclean.sh
[14:44] <cheslyn> erusul: in command
[14:44] <JonathanD> 6
[14:45] <mikinanuq> eni23: checked alsamixer?
[14:45] <erUSUL> cheslyn: man passwd. « passwd username »
[14:45] <cheslyn> grawity: thanks but not the user passwd
[14:45] <grawity> cheslyn: What then? The 'sudo' password?
[14:45] <foey> Are there any guides to setting up SAMBA from the terminal, as in users, share folders e.t.c.
[14:46] <lizzzy> So, 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> #fedora
[14:46] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: jeah, it just shows some config-options for the hdsp-soundcard
[14:46] <cheslyn> grawity: yes perhaps
[14:46] <grawity> cheslyn: But it is the same user password.
[14:47] <eni23> i control the soundcard over a programm named "hdspmixer" (alsa-stuff)
[14:47] <gamla_kossan> hi people
[14:47] <gamla_kossan> how come the new release of ubuntu will ditch pidgin in favor of empathy?
[14:47] <gamla_kossan> anyone have a clue?
[14:47] <cheslyn> grawity: ok but is that the passwd you use to login no
[14:47] <mikinanuq> lizzzy: you can recreate your profile by renaming .gnome in your home directory... if it doesn't look right just name it back.
[14:47] <grawity> cheslyn: Yes, the same.
[14:48] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: ok i guess normally the "hda intel" is number 0 and hdsp nummer 2. but right now it's switched
[14:48] <eni23> how can i change?
[14:48] <Qu4R0w> frog: try iptraf
[14:48] <mikinanuq> lizzzy: all of your settings are in your home dir. just mess around with them
[14:49] <cheslyn> grawity:ok but i don't want 2 reset that passwd.ok what other passwd do you get
[14:50] <mikinanuq> eni23: I think you may be able to load the modules manually for your devices and specify on boot what you want
[14:50] <Darck1> there - I learned something. Thanks. I found that /tmp is cleaned out by bootclean.sh and I can add an exception for my undelete files directory
[14:50] <alabd> good day everyone ,after installing nvidia-glx-180 packagehow to use nvidia driver ?
[14:50] <lizzzy> mikinanuq: Will do that. Thanks.
[14:50] <grawity> Darck1: And like I said, it is better to use a separate directory, instead of mucking with init scripts.
[14:50] <erUSUL> gamla_kossan: ask in #ubuntu+1
[14:50] <grawity> cheslyn: 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_kossan> erUSUL: =)
[14:51] <cheslyn> grawity: so how do you change the root passwd
[14:52] <grawity> cheslyn: Do you REALLY need to do it?
[14:52] <frogzoo> cheslyn: there is NO need for root access
[14:52] <mikinanuq> eni23: do an lsmod and ceck out those devices, copy the values for your hda intel and hdsp.
[14:52] <grawity> cheslyn: Because 'sudo' (or 'sudo -s') is enough for all commands.
[14:52] <Darck1> grawity: 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 directory
[14:53] <mikinanuq> eni23: then   man modprobe   look at how to unload those modules and load them back in with the correct values.
[14:53] <cheslyn> grawity: i know but i really want 2 know if you can tell me please
[14:53] <grawity> cheslyn: Run 'passwd root' as root.
[14:53] <mikinanuq> eni23:  use modprobe to load the modules and if everything works fine use modules.conf to set  it permanently
[14:54] <mikinanuq> eni23: ah it's  /etc/modules  where you load your module config
[14:55] <panopticon> unless i miss my guess, firefox is using the totem-gstreamer plugin for certain media plugins?
[14:56] <cheslyn> grawity: thanks so what do you mean as root
[14:58] <Carpe|Diem> how 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|Diem> fstab?
[14:59] <nomoa> Carpe|Diem: What do you mean by "i am working"?
[14:59] <Carpe|Diem> yes
[14:59] <Carpe|Diem> you see
[14:59] <Carpe|Diem> i have a windows installation and a ubuntu installation
[14:59] <Carpe|Diem> also, i have a windows 7 installation
[14:59] <mikinanuq> cheslyn: you can  sudo passwd root  and change the root password. or do  sudo su -  and then when your in your command as root run passwd
[14:59] <Carpe|Diem> but this ubuntu does not use c: or d:
[14:59] <Carpe|Diem> so i need to know what partition to format, since i will switch to a different linux distro
[15:00] <nomoa> Carpe|Diem: run "mount" or "df" to see what partitions are in use by your system
[15:00] <mikinanuq> hmm gotta do better engrish
[15:00] <Carpe|Diem> ok df worked fine
[15:00] <Carpe|Diem> its /dev/sda1 ;)
[15:00] <Carpe|Diem> ty :D
[15:01] <cheslyn> mikinanuq: thanks
[15:01] <grawity> mikinanuq: It's better to use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i', instead of 'sudo su'.
[15:02] <mikinanuq> not sure what the -s or -i is for.
[15:02] <mikinanuq> never use them
[15:03] <llutz> mikinanuq: man sudo tells you the difference
[15:03] <Halitech> mikinanuq, man sudo will tell you
[15:04] <kyja> Ranger TUX says, "Only you can prevent iceberg fires"
[15:05] <luizfelipe> help
[15:05] <kyja> I don't know if I can but shoot
[15:05] <mikinanuq> llutz Halitech .. I'm a humble man so I'll say Thank you I didn't know that ;) ...
[15:06] <cetanhota> whats a good light weight mail client?
[15:06] <llutz> cetanhota: mutt
[15:07] <genii> pine/alpine also isn't horrible
[15:07] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: snd_hda_intel is 3 and snd_hdsp is 2. now i have to: modprobe -r snd_hda_intel && modprobe -r snd_hdsp && ﻿﻿﻿﻿modprobe snd_hda_intel && modprobe snd_hdsp ? is this correct?
[15:10] <mikinanuq> eni23: I say it can't hurt so give it a shot
[15:10] <kyja> were we just flooded by a bot
[15:11] <mikinanuq> eni23: 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] <mikinanuq> eni23: you may need to experiment a bit for that one
[15:11] <Boohbah> mikinanuq: i believe the UUID comes from the hardware itself
[15:12] <Petaris> Hi, is there an IRC channel for the netbook remix?
[15:12] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. i tried --force
[15:12] <Boohbah> Petaris: ask here if it's a current release
[15:13] <andyL> hello
[15:13] <Petaris> Boohbah: Ok, I just need to find out how to reset a lost password on it
[15:13] <Boohbah> Petaris: a lost root passwd?
[15:13] <Petaris> pressing ESC during boot doesn't give me a single user option
[15:14] <Petaris> Boohbah: yeah
[15:14] <ltcabral> what can i use to open 4 terminals at once, like 2x2
[15:14] <andyL> is there a way to change the home directory of a ftp server for a local user ?
[15:14] <ltcabral> and fit them to screen
[15:14] <foey> how change I share a folder via the terminal? (samba is installed)
[15:14] <edbian> How can I set up NIS so that sudo works throughout my network?  Is there a way to also push out my /etc/sudoers from my server to my clients?
[15:14] <Boohbah> Petaris: if you can get to a grub menu you want to choose "Recovery mode"
[15:15] <hackerkid1031> Hey Anyone Here Really good with Ubuntu?
[15:15] <Boohbah> !ask
[15:15] <Petaris> Boohbah: How do you get to the grub menu though?  Pressing ESC doesn't bing it up, neither does tab
[15:15] <thiebaude> hackerkid1031, what is your question?
[15:15] <mikinanuq> eni23: brb :( at work
[15:16] <bluebaron> how do i restart my jvm?
[15:16] <eni23> someone got a good howto about  modprobe and kernel-modules (best in german). i dont't really get it..
[15:16] <edbian> hackerkid1031: 'm pretty good.
[15:16] <hackerkid1031> i seem to be stuck in a upgrade loop, it says a previous upgrade did not complete, so it offers to do a partial upgrade whitch dosent complete!?!?
[15:16] <edbian> hackerkid1031: Be more specific.  Where / why is it getting stuck?
[15:16] <Petaris> Boohbah: Nevermind, I finanally got it
[15:16] <hackerkid1031> its a EA81510A.15A.0012.P09 motherboars (Gateway Fedora (OLD) )
[15:16] <Boohbah> Petaris: oh, how?
[15:16] <Petaris> must have been a timing issue
[15:16] <cpi> hello.. one question: has anybody of you got an iscsi disk running with the current karmic alpha 6 desktop install cd? the changelog says its supported since alpha4 but i can't find any options anywhere...
[15:17] <Petaris> pressing too late or something
[15:17] <hackerkid1031> i dont know why thats why im asking lol
[15:17] <thiebaude> hackerkid1031, do a sudo dpkg --configure -a  in a terminal
[15:17] <Pici> cpi : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[15:17] <ltcabral> hackerkid1031: if it doesnt complete its not a loop right :P
[15:17] <cpi> Pici: ok thanks
[15:17] <Boohbah> hackerkid1031: are you trying to upgrade to karmic? or is this jaunty?
[15:17] <Trizicus> I'm on 9.10 Alpha 6 and sometimes xmms2d freezes how can I report this bug with the errors?
[15:17] <Pici> Trizicus : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[15:17] <Boohbah> Trizicus: /join #ubuntu+1
[15:17] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, have you tried running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal?
[15:17] <hackerkid1031> yeah
[15:17] <hackerkid1031> 1 sec
[15:18] <Madsy> I wonder what's up with the CPU governor used by Ubuntu. "ondemand" never utilizes the full CPU performance, and setting the governor strategy to "performance" make my CPU temperature jump to 80C!
[15:18] <Madsy> This does *not* happen in Debian.
[15:18] <Petaris> Boohbah: Thanks for your help
[15:18] <Petaris> :)
[15:18] <hackerkid1031> i installed off af a disk the first time i tried installing it sayd the disk was corrupt, but the second time it worked? i ordered the disk from ubuntu.com
[15:18] <ltcabral> what can i use to open 4 terminals at once, like 2x2
[15:18] <Trizicus> thanks
[15:19] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, possible bad or dirty laser in the drive?
[15:19] <Madsy> /proc/cpuinfo on Debian reports the correct speed, and does not make my laptop melt.
[15:19] <hackerkid1031> the disk was ver . 7.10
[15:19] <Boohbah> ltcabral: umm, just start another instance of your terminal emulator
[15:19] <thiebaude> hackerkid1031, did you clean the disc?
[15:19] <hackerkid1031> im currently at ver 9.04
[15:19] <hackerkid1031> yeah
[15:19] <hackerkid1031> i did
[15:19] <hattonr> can anyone tell me how to configure terminal server client to not try to connect every 30 seconds?
[15:19] <thiebaude> ok
[15:19] <hackerkid1031> at About: it says 9.04 Jaunty
[15:19] <ltcabral> Boohbah: nvm... terminator package is what i needed
[15:20] <SingAlong> my 4gb pendrive has a 1gb limit in ubuntu. how do i set it right?
[15:20] <hackerkid1031> BTW QUICK NOTE im currently on my laptop thi problem i on my desktop (witch is on now)
[15:20] <jpbaa1> I need help setting up separate x screens in ubuntu
[15:21] <Madsy> SingAlong: You could try formatting the pen. Choose a FAT32 filesystem if you need compatibility with Windows
[15:21] <eni23> ﻿SingAlong: mabye you buy a scam-pendrive?
[15:21] <SingAlong> Madsy: oh. how do i format the pendrive by using commands?
[15:21] <SingAlong> eni23: no lol. its got 4gb space in windows.
[15:21] <eni23> ﻿SingAlong: shure shure..
[15:21] <SingAlong> eni23: i have a dualboot system.
[15:21] <csgeek> sorry.. round about way.. but had to install desktop edition using a single monitor plugged in, then it worked just fine.
[15:21] <eni23> but post sudo fdisk -l
[15:21] <dual> Is it possible to, on my desktop, list up all icons and files that are there, instead of floating icons all over?
[15:21] <hackerkid1031> is there any commands in terminal that check the packages for corruption and fix them if they are corrupted?
[15:22] <duk> pozzzz
[15:22] <hackerkid1031> << read last!
[15:22] <thiebaude> !dpkg
[15:22] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, sudo apt-get install -f
[15:22] <eni23> ﻿SingAlong: the stick say "i have 4gb" but it only have one
[15:22] <SingAlong> eni23: yes. one sec
[15:22] <hackerkid1031> kk 1 sec
[15:22] <eni23> i got screwed one time
[15:22] <chucky> which is the best browser for xubuntu..?on an ibm thinkpad?
[15:22] <naxa> hi!
[15:23] <SingAlong> eni23: No. mine is legit. it works fine in windows.
[15:23] <Halitech> SingAlong, what does sudo fdisk -l say
[15:23] <naxa> how can i install xjadeo on ubuntu 9.04?
[15:23] <erUSUL> !best | chucky
[15:23] <hackerkid1031> o upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 upgraded (with apt-get install -f)
[15:23] <erUSUL> chucky: lightweight browsers... epiphany; midori; dillo...
[15:24] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, what does lsb_release -a say?
[15:24] <chucky> erUSUL, less on ram 256mb n an r40 so d lighter d better
[15:24] <eni23> ﻿SingAlong: works fine in win can mean a lot ;)
[15:24] <SingAlong> Halitech: got the output. here's the pastie - http://pastie.org/636688
[15:24] <SingAlong> eni23: its got 4gb is win. :)
[15:24] <SingAlong> eni23: thats what I meant by working fine :)
[15:25] <eni23> the fdsik looks weird
[15:25] <SingAlong> eni23: I've been using it for a month. transfering movies etc :)
[15:25] <alabd> after installing/media/disk/all/txt/bookmarks/25-9-2009a.html
[15:25] <SingAlong> eni23: its not the usual fdisk. Halitech said fdisk -l
[15:25] <eni23> correct. i told you this too
[15:26] <eni23> is there any data you need on the stick?
[15:26] <SingAlong> eni23: nothing :) I figured out this limit only now when I was trying to transfer a movie to it.
[15:26] <hackerkid1031> No LSB Modules Are Available , Distribution : Ubuntu  ... Descrip: Ubuntu 9.04 ...Codename : Jaunty :
[15:26] <hackerkid1031> thats lsb_release -a
[15:26] <SingAlong> eni23: i can format it if needed. no important data I'm glad
[15:27] <Halitech> SingAlong, looks like it has 4 partitions but they are screwy in my mind ... try opening gparted and see what the drive looks like there
[15:27] <alabd> any opinion ?
[15:27] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, ok, so its saying you have 9.04, what are you trying to upgrade to? 9.10?
[15:28] <mobal> hello
[15:28] <eni23> ok then format it when it works, because the partition-table looks really strange. mabye it's a mbr-virus?
[15:28] <eni23> it really looks like "Stoned Monkey MBR"
[15:28] <hackerkid1031> i dont really care but the upgrade manager keeps popping up every 5 mins
[15:28] <thiebaude> eni23, haha
[15:29] <hackerkid1031> i dont need to upgrade i dont think...
[15:29] <eni23> ﻿thiebaude: don't belive me? then google it!
[15:29] <eni23> windows is a weird thing!
[15:29] <SingAlong> Halitech: how do i figure out the partition on which my pendrive is mounted as?
[15:29] <thiebaude> eni23, hey, i thought that was funny
[15:29] <Halitech> SingAlong, its sdb
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> SingAlong:  check 'sudo fdisk -l' is one way
[15:29] <llutz> SingAlong: it is formatted in so called "superfloppy" format, which doesn't contain any partitions. it uses the raw device
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> SingAlong:  or the 'mount ' command
[15:30] <metacube> Sabm
[15:30] <SingAlong> eni23: i figured out why my fdisk output looks bad. i'm on a netbook running ubuntu :)
[15:30] <hackerkid1031> brb
[15:30]  * hackerkid1031 is away: Brb Hacking Your Computer
[15:30] <llutz> SingAlong: that's why the partitions look weired
[15:31] <eni23> ﻿llutz: really? thanks for the info
[15:31] <SingAlong> llutz: the acer guys gave one drive with 160gb with win installed. i have win but installed ubuntu by partitioning the drive :)
[15:31] <chucky> erUSUL, how is opera on Xfce4 xubuntu distro...?
[15:31] <ubuntu> hi guys, i have installed xubuntu on a pendrive, to help me recover files from a broken windows installation... How do i map my windows partition for use in xubuntu?
[15:31] <llutz> SingAlong: i talked about /dev/sdb
[15:32] <Halitech> chucky, runs nicely for me
[15:32] <SingAlong> llutz: oh
[15:32] <chucky> Halitech, but mine is a r40 thinkpad ..low on ram
[15:32] <eni23> ﻿ubuntu: sudo fdisk -l (in pastebin!!)
[15:32] <SingAlong> llutz: k. so how do i format this drive?
[15:32] <njk> hey guys, could you test this http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/gbitly-applet?content=112903 under ubuntu?
[15:32] <Zzeiss> ubuntu: ubottu! mount
[15:32] <SingAlong> llutz: *pendrive
[15:32] <chucky> Halitech, firefox seems slow
[15:32] <SingAlong> !format
[15:32] <llutz> SingAlong: sudo mkfs.cfat -F32 /dev/sdb
[15:32] <eni23> ﻿SingAlong: for beginners, gparted is fine
[15:32] <llutz> SingAlong: sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb
[15:32] <SingAlong> llutz: isnt that vfat?
[15:33] <thiebaude> njk, it comes up
[15:33] <Zzeiss> ubuntu: you need to use the "mount" command to mount preexisting partitions- including the "vfat" format partitions from your Windows installation.
[15:33] <SingAlong> eni23: i like to do it the command way :)
[15:33]  * hackerkid1031 is back (gone 00:02:37)
[15:33] <hackerkid1031> ok im back
[15:33] <Halitech> chucky, opera seems faster then ff on my machine but I find ff works better ... have you looked at swiftfox instead of ff?
[15:33] <hackerkid1031> had to go to the Bathroom
[15:33] <njk> thiebaude: what comes up?
[15:33] <hackerkid1031> ok
[15:33] <eni23> ﻿﻿SingAlong: then do it like ilutz told you
[15:33] <hackerkid1031> now back to the desktop
[15:33] <thiebaude> njk, that web page
[15:34] <njk> thiebaude: lol not the webpage, the software I mean
[15:34] <thiebaude> ok
[15:34] <hackerkid1031> it just popped up AGAIN !
[15:34] <SingAlong> llutz: is /dev/sdb my pendrive?
[15:34] <llutz> SingAlong: some linux automount-features always try to mount partitions and not the raw-device. so automounting the pen-drive might fail
[15:34] <llutz> SingAlong: according to your paste, yes (4GB)
[15:34] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, there should be an option to not check for updates
[15:35] <chucky> Halitech, what do u suggest  i've used neither..lemme know how to install as well...thanx
[15:35] <ubuntu> i have mountet the drive, and i can see it's content in the terminal.. but i can't get to it thru the GUI
[15:35] <eni23> ﻿ubuntu: when you see the content type 'pwd'
[15:35] <dtownhero> morning - got my wife a new dell studio 17 yesterday and wiped windows from it. Her sound is VERY low after installing Ubuntu... any ideas?
[15:35] <nightrid3r> !apt
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:  try 'nautilus /path/where/its/mounted'
[15:35] <ubuntu> eni23, drop dead
[15:36] <aziz_> a.aziz
[15:36] <eni23> ﻿Dr_Willis: xubuntu have no ﻿nautilus
[15:36] <SingAlong> llutz: http://pastie.org/636712
[15:36] <Halitech> chucky, swiftfox might be in the repo, not sure, for opera http://www.opera.com/browser/download/
[15:36] <Dr_Willis> eni23:  then use whatever file manager ya got.
[15:36] <Halitech> eni23, Dr_Willis xfce uses thunar
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> I tend to remove thunar as soon as i see its installed.. :)
[15:37] <chucky> Halitech, how is epiphany?..ps  what r d issues with opera?
[15:37] <eni23> ﻿ubuntu: what you mean with drop dead?
[15:37] <naxa> bye
[15:37] <thiebaude> !pcmanfm
[15:37] <Boohbah> chucky: opera is closed-source
[15:37] <hackerkid1031> IT SAYS: AND I QUOTE: Not All Updates can be Installed Run a Partial Upgrade, To install as many updates as possable This can be caused by : a previous upgrade whitch didnt complete,  Problems with some of the instaled software, normal changes of a pre-released version of ubuntu, or unofficial software packages not provided by ubuntu
[15:37] <llutz> SingAlong: do as suggested or repartition the pendrive
[15:37] <mikinanuq> eni23: back, what did I miss?
[15:37] <SingAlong> llutz: i did as suggested. the same command you gave me
[15:37] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: not a lot. i can't unload snd_hda_intel
[15:38] <llutz> SingAlong: it suggests "-I to override"
[15:38] <lpuczyn> join #oknopw
[15:38] <lpuczyn> haha
[15:38] <lpuczyn> :P
[15:38] <FloodBot3> lpuczyn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:38] <SingAlong> llutz: oh that one.
[15:38] <hackerkid1031> is there any way to boot off of the live cd then intall directly over the internet? (NOT off the cd?)
[15:38] <thiebaude> hackerkid1031, its not good to do a partial upgrade
[15:38] <Boohbah> eni23: sudo rmmod -f snd_hda_intel
[15:38] <SingAlong> llutz: so doing that will not automount my drive?
[15:38] <hackerkid1031> ok...
[15:38] <hackerkid1031> << see previous
[15:38] <llutz> SingAlong: maybe.... i would repartition it
[15:38] <dtownhero> morning - got my wife a new dell studio 17 yesterday and wiped windows from it. Her sound is VERY low after installing Ubuntu... any ideas?
[15:38] <eni23> ﻿Boohbah: ﻿mikinanuq: nothing change with the --force switch
[15:39] <SingAlong> llutz: thats okie. I'll try it. Anyway it can be fixed later with gparted if necessary
[15:39] <SingAlong> llutz: formatted. let me test
[15:39] <shane2peru> ok, does anyone know how to get vhook enabled in ffmpeg?  I don't have a watermark.so ?
[15:39] <llutz> SingAlong: as i said, linux and superfloppy aren't real friends (my opinion)
[15:39] <mikinanuq> eni23: make sure nothing is using it?
[15:39] <Boohbah> eni23: why do you need to unload the module? is some program using your sound device? (likely)
[15:39] <Halitech> chucky, I've never used epiphany ... opera just doesn't seem to load a few sites properly for me
[15:39] <SingAlong> llutz: works fine. it automounts
[15:39] <llutz> SingAlong: fine
[15:39] <hackerkid1031> is there any way to boot off of the live cd then intall directly over the internet? (NOT off the cd?)
[15:39] <my_haz> is there a way to have `xset dpms force off` run as the screensaver?
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> shane2peru:  its possible the ffmpeg you got - does not have all the features enabled..  the one on medibuntu repos I think had a few more features enabled.. YOu might have to resort to PPA repos for newer/enhanced versions.. or use the source
[15:40] <my_haz> hackerkid1031: more or less yes
[15:40] <mikinanuq> eni23: you may need to stop alsa or some other daemon or any other programs
[15:40] <SingAlong> llutz: ya. i also got my 4gb space now.
[15:40] <hackerkid1031> ? please explain
[15:40] <SingAlong> eni23: llutz: thanks!
[15:40] <my_haz> hackerkid1031: well you want to install the same distro i take it?
[15:40] <chucky> Halitech, such as?...what about dillo/
[15:40] <Madsy> SingAlong: Formatting worked?
[15:40] <shane2peru> Dr_Willis: I installed from source, following the FakeOutdoorsmans guide on the forums, and tried to re-configure it, but not sure what to do.
[15:40] <SingAlong> Madsy: ya.
[15:40] <Madsy> Great :-)
[15:41] <Halitech> chucky, used dillo in puppy and it seemed nice
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> shane2peru:  be sure you are running the one you compiled. not the one installed bya the package manager also.
[15:41] <chucky> Halitech, whats puppy?
[15:41] <hackerkid1031> i dont care what distro as long as it works properly, and i can use the desktop with my 2 2
[15:41] <hackerkid1031> Tb hdds
[15:41] <shane2peru> Dr_Willis: right, I removed the original ffmpeg package
[15:41] <SingAlong> chucky: puppylinux
[15:41] <Boohbah> shane2peru: what program are you using with ffmpeg that needs that lib?
[15:41] <Halitech> chucky, puppy linux, its a lightweight distro
[15:41] <chucky> ok,.,
[15:41] <SingAlong> chucky: its based on ubuntu. around 190mb
[15:41] <shane2peru> Boohbah: I want to watermark videos
[15:42] <chucky> SingAlong, ok,,,..
[15:42] <chucky> SingAlong, ligter than xubuntu?
[15:42] <SingAlong> chucky: well thats only if you have a really old system. the required ram for that is just around 64mb
[15:42] <Halitech> SingAlong, when did they change to being ubuntu based?
[15:42] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: i stopped pulseaudio and alsa-utils
[15:42] <SingAlong> chucky: ya. lighter :) hey wait. what config is yours? you need a lighter distro for a netbook?
[15:42] <eni23> but nothing changed
[15:43] <chucky> SingAlong, ibm thinpad r40 256 ram im on xubuntu
[15:43] <SingAlong> Halitech: well IDK. when i read their page around 2yrs back it said so i guess.
[15:43] <chucky> Halitech, downloadin opera..
[15:43] <hackerkid1031> Also really quick i am usin xirc can i disable the messages about people leaving and joining?
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> The next incarnation of puppy is to 'use' the ubuntu repos.. its not ubuntu based from what i read. :)  if that makes sence.
[15:43] <SingAlong> Halitech: no i guess they arent based on ubuntu. but sure on debian. its been days since i visited their page :)
[15:43] <Boohbah> shane2peru: maybe one of these will work: https://launchpad.net/~siretart/+ppa-packages
[15:43] <SingAlong> chucky: i've got exactly what you'll need :)
[15:43] <chucky> SingAlong, debian based
[15:43]  * Dr_Willis points to #puppylinux
[15:44] <SingAlong> chucky: wait a sec. listen.
[15:44] <chucky> SingAlong, what..?
[15:44] <Halitech> SingAlong, I know dsl is based on debian but I thought (could be wrong) that puppy is its own distro
[15:44] <gnubie> http://www.puppylinux.com/about.htm  says it is built from scratch
[15:44] <mikinanuq> eni23: hmm, hold a sec
[15:44] <my_haz> How does the screensaver know that nothing has happened in X amount of time (20 minutes), how can get something else to happen other than the screensaver go off it nothing happens in Y amount of time
[15:44] <yuhu> hola
[15:44] <SingAlong> chucky: install ubuntu. the latest version and change your desktop manager to lxde. lxde is lighter than xfce.
[15:44] <shane2peru> Boohbah: ok, I will give check out one of those.  If I knew what configuration option to use with ffmpeg, I could probably just re-configure it.
[15:45] <yuhu> alguien k me ayude para instalar una pinnacle
[15:45] <thiebaude> !es | yuhu
[15:45] <duffydack> shane2peru, what lib are you talking about.
[15:45] <thiebaude> !pinnacle
[15:45] <ra21vi> can i restrict users to browse/upload/download files thru SSH/SFTP to a single directory
[15:45] <shane2peru> duffydack: watermark.so
[15:46] <ra21vi> I want to have an alternative to FTP, so thinking about the SFTP
[15:46] <shane2peru> duffydack: <- that is hard to type even the first two letters correctly I want to type da(tab). :)
[15:46] <cognitiaclaeves> The last time I ran open office, it crashed my entire desktop.  I'd like to run it again, but this time, from the console, and capture any errors that it generates into a text file.  can I do that with: ooffice -writer %F > oofice_output.txt 2>&1 ?
[15:46] <SingAlong> chucky: i use lxde on my netbook and use eclipse on it. and it works just fine. (eclipse is a heavy dev tool)
[15:46] <Trizicus> What can I use to allow my PS3 recognize ubuntu as a media server; any suggestions?
[15:46] <crescendo> Is there a way to run the textual installer from the LiveCD?
[15:46] <Halitech> chucky, if you want to get a better responsive system, do the minimal install and install lxde http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
[15:46] <mikinanuq> eni23: trying to see if there's a way to see what's holding up the module
[15:46] <chucky> SingAlong, can i upgrade the desktop manager on xubuntu?
[15:46] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: You might need an alt disc.
[15:46] <shane2peru> duffydack: it is for vhook with ffmpeg to watermark videos
[15:47] <SingAlong> chucky: ya just search for lxde on the synaptic pkg mgr. you'll find it
[15:47] <SingAlong> chucky: but one thing.
[15:47] <SingAlong> chucky: its still under dev but its nice.
[15:47] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: that's what I was fearing. :[
[15:47] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I have it downloaded and burned, but I need to be able to use apps on this same box while I run an install on another disk
[15:47] <SingAlong> chucky: b/w dont install this pkg called lxnm. which is the lx network mgr. its broken and the normal network mgr works fine there.
[15:47] <newabz> hi
[15:48] <newabz> i need some help on ubuntu.. can anyone help me please..
[15:48] <Halitech> !help | newabz
[15:48] <joaopinto> !anyone | newabz
[15:48] <SingAlong> chucky: and when you use wifi you might have to type in "nm-applet" in commandline to start the network manager applet to detect your wifi connections.
[15:48] <newabz> !help
[15:48] <newabz> !anyone
[15:48] <newabz> ok i'll ask
[15:48] <duffydack> shane2peru, hmm, generally, you have to get the source package and drop into the libavcodec folder of the ffmpeg source, to be able to --enable-whatever
[15:48] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I don't think I quite understand what you are trying to do...
[15:48] <coffeej> i'm trying to backup xorg.conf but it tells me "No such file or directory"  how do i proceed
[15:48] <SingAlong> chucky: you can just add nm-applet to your startup :)
[15:49] <iceroot> coffeej: post your line you are using to backup
[15:49] <newabz> i wanted to know the stability of dual OS i.e vista with ubunta. bit scared 'coz never installed or used before..
[15:49] <Halitech> coffeej, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
[15:49] <SingAlong> chucky: so just go straight to your synaptic and install lxde without a second thought. its nice too. dont expect it to be dumb just because i said its lighter than xfce :)
[15:49] <iceroot> coffeej:sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original ?
[15:49] <shane2peru> duffydack: ok, I built from source, let me check that out
[15:49] <duffydack> shane2peru, been a while since i compiled ffmpeg, but just do ./configure to list all the options available...if a watermark one is not there, you`d need to add the dev files for it.
[15:49] <SingAlong> chucky: there's currently no trash in lxde. delete and it does straight out. :)
[15:50] <newabz> huh.. no one is helping me yet
[15:50] <newabz> :(
[15:50] <duffydack> shane2peru, thats how I integrated libamr (3gp)
[15:50] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: i killed everything, but still the same
[15:50] <coffeej> iceroot:cp etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.backup
[15:50] <timgws> I am trying to convince  a friend to move to Ubuntu and was telling her about the great support.
[15:50] <iceroot> coffeej: X11 instead of x11
[15:50] <timgws> Anyone here to back me up?
[15:50] <iceroot> coffeej: you can use tab for such things
[15:50] <Blackbird2> What does it mean when GParted is "moving the file system to the right" and why does it take an eternity compared to everything else you can do with a filesystem?
[15:50] <iceroot> !tab | coffeej
[15:51] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I am trying to use the text installer in a terminal window (so I can configure LVM+LUKS+special partitions) while still using IRC and some GUI-only apps on the same box.
[15:51] <chucky> SingAlong, so xfce4 goes straight out?
[15:51] <coffeej> iceroot: thanks
[15:51] <kallepersson> Where can I get the latest Karmic beta? The link on http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha3#Download%20Alpha%203 is 404
[15:51] <Serendippo> newabz: dual OS's don't affect each others stability. if you install ubuntu, a bootmanager will be installed that'll give you the choice which OS to boot.
[15:51] <iceroot> timgws: you have a ubuntu-related support-question?
[15:51] <chucky> SingAlong, no issues with xubuntu n im on 256mb ram also it got a good interface and fast right...?
[15:51] <timgws> iceroot: not at all, just showing my friend that Linux community > Windows
[15:51] <SingAlong>  chucky: no you can keep that as well. :)
[15:51] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: hold on. i will do a killall5
[15:51] <dtownhero> morning - got my wife a new dell studio 17 yesterday and wiped windows from it. Her sound is VERY low after installing Ubuntu... any ideas?
[15:51] <iceroot> timgws: of course
[15:51] <SingAlong> chucky: if you like xfce you can keep it :)
[15:52] <timgws> well, I know that :P
[15:52] <SingAlong> chucky: just said lxde is lighter. you can keep both lxde and xfce and use them whenever you need
[15:52] <mikinanuq> eni23: yeah not sure what it could be, maybe there's a module that depends on the hda intel module .. etc
[15:52] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: If I'm understanding you correctly, you can't install a system onto another drive without being fully immersed in the install process. ... unless you are installing into a VM.
[15:52] <SingAlong> dtownhero: type in alsamixer in your terminal and increase the volume there
[15:52] <shane2peru> duffydack: ok, thanks for the pointers!  I did a locate watermark.so and it is nowhere to be found on my system, so I doubt I have it even in those folders.
[15:52] <chucky> SingAlong, how do i use different desktop environments?
[15:53] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ( but if you are installing into a VM, that's not directly to disk. )
[15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, it is at full volume
[15:53] <root> hello
[15:53] <iceroot> chucky: at same time?
[15:53] <duffydack> shane2peru, actually, configure and install the watermark from source.. then you can --enable
[15:53] <SingAlong> dtownhero: when you get your login screen go to options and select the desktop session and then select xfce or lxde :)
[15:53] <hackerkid1031> ok cool
[15:53] <ubuntu> !PartitionManager
[15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, LOL
[15:53] <iceroot> root: using irc as root?
[15:53] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: now there's an idea - I could run the installer in a VM, but map my hard disk through the VM...  the installer wouldn't know the difference
[15:53] <SingAlong> dtownhero: when you type in alsamixer you get a window in your terminal.
[15:53] <Guest22781> how to save my net cinfiguration
[15:53] <Keiffer> do you know if one can install/run Adobe Photoshop and Corel apps on linux?
[15:53] <chucky> SingAlong, no differently its just 20gb ram on d hard disk..
[15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, She likes gnome - yeah, you're right... I did not try it from term... one sec
[15:53] <duffydack> think I might update my ffmpeg ....
[15:53] <Guest22781> how to save my net configuration
[15:53] <shane2peru> duffydack: looks like that is my only option atm, thanks.
[15:53] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: ugh, that would be such a slow install, though.... I happen to be installing to EEPROM. :(
[15:54] <dtownhero> SingAlong, and for what its worth KDE4 is BLEH!
[15:54] <SingAlong> dtownhero: over there just go to the next few sliders... not the first slider. the next few sliders. increase them and it'll work fine.
[15:54] <iceroot> Guest22781: you mean your network-configuration?
[15:54] <espenel> yo
[15:54] <SingAlong> dtownhero: why? you like kde4?
[15:54] <Guest22781> when rebooting,it will lost
[15:54] <chucky> SingAlong, so im still skeptical...i think it slightly hangs ..very slightly..
[15:54] <espenel> confidential
[15:54] <shane2peru> duffydack: I followed FakeOutdoorsmans guide on the forums, I'll get you the link if you like
[15:54] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: EEPROM?  So, an embedded install, then?
[15:54] <SingAlong> chucky: what do you mean?
[15:54] <hackerkid1031> i found out to disable the annoying messages in xchat irc about someone joining/leaving that you type "/*SET irc_conf_mode 1 "Replace * with nothing aka no space
[15:54] <ic56> I want to run two instances of evince (PDF viewer) on the same document.  I use CLI.  When I try to start the 2nd instance, I get "Attempt to register the same DBusConnection with the message bus, but it is already registered".  How do I work around this?
[15:54] <Guest22781> i use ifconfig to do that
[15:54] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: more or less, a USB key
[15:55] <shane2peru> duffydack: here is the guide I used, pretty decent. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031:  so you read the docs? :)
[15:55] <chucky> SingAlong, my xfce 4 hangs is what im sayin,...n how do i switch between desktop environments i have no clue..
[15:55] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Oh, ok.  Well, that might go faster than you think, then.
[15:55] <dtownhero> SingAlong, That worked, TYVM
[15:55] <Guest22781> SOS
[15:55] <chucky> SingAlong, size considerations also matter
[15:55] <SingAlong> dtownhero: you need to do alsamixer from term. the volume applet in gnome, uses the max volume as the volume you set in alsamixer. :) so you need to go to alsamixer to get your sound right.
[15:55] <mikinanuq> Enissay: there's some moduse utility but it looks like it's not in the repos.
[15:55] <Halitech> chucky, log out and at the log in screen, click on sessions and select lxde
[15:55] <SingAlong> dtownhero: np. you are welcome :)
[15:55] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: know of a quick way to check the transfer rate and/or the USB connection type? (usb 1.0 vs. 2.0)
[15:55] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ( I don't recall USB installs taking a long time. ) -- I haven't done it myself, though.
[15:55] <hackerkid1031> no
[15:55] <dtownhero> SingAlong, yep, all fixed.. appreciate it very much. I'd send cookies but I don't know your address! :p
[15:56] <kaffien> how do i make a ubuntu server sync time with a time server?
[15:56] <hackerkid1031> i googled it it took about 4 times
[15:56] <hackerkid1031> ...
[15:56] <jrib> ic56: have you tried evinte --help?
[15:56] <execute> anyone knows any software like "the all seeing eye" that runs on linux ?
[15:56] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I tried to install last weekend, it took over 60 hours total
[15:56] <SingAlong> chucky: what size? the lxde pkg is very small :)
[15:56] <kaffien> i don't want it to BE a time server i just want it to sync with one
[15:56] <dtownhero> SingAlong, no, I don't like KDE4 - the old KDE was OK but 4 is like bloat central
[15:56] <newabz> quit
[15:56] <jrib> ic56: without the typo of course :)
[15:56] <jtheuer> Hi, I'm looking for a platform independant storage provider (sync, backup, multiple users, ...) ubuntuone is ubuntu only and sugarsync for example only supports win/mac. Any recommendations?
[15:56] <newabz> exit
[15:56] <dtownhero> even more bloated then gnome
[15:56] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Umm.. perhaps lspci.
[15:56] <duffydack> shane2peru, if you mean fakeoutdoorsman`s , yeah.....    have a look http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2009-March/019397.html
[15:56] <newabz> logout
[15:56] <newabz> Quit
[15:56] <hackerkid1031> ok so how do i install ANY version of LINUX from the internet using a live cd? (NOT installing off the LIVE CD as its CORRUPTED!)
[15:56] <newabz> Exit
[15:56] <jrib> newabz: /quit
[15:56] <newabz> thanks
[15:56] <SingAlong> dtownhero: ya. agree. i use lxde on my netbook coz i use heavy dev tools like eclipse.
[15:56] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I'm just not sure which ports are running at 2.0 speeds
[15:56] <iceroot> newabz: /quit
[15:56] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Last I heard, there was an issue with the swapping on a USB drive.  It tended to burn out USB drives.
[15:56] <SingAlong> dtownhero: i liked the older kde. the new one is very glossy.
[15:57] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, I don't think you can
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031:  i recall some guides for doing it.. but never done so.. it involves a lot of command line work.
[15:57] <ic56> jrib: I read the manpage.  Thank you for suggesting --help
[15:57] <ic56>  let me take a look.
[15:57] <fastputty> what is the option with Make command to use multiple thread? i forget
[15:57] <SingAlong> dtownhero: my desktop comp (3gb ram) runs gnome. i'm satisfied with it. so i dont change it :)
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031:  may be easier to just go get a new cd/download the iso and put it on flash
[15:57] <duffydack> shane2peru, something about vhook.... never touched it myself...
[15:57] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: it's a bit less of a concern these days, but I am using a custom partition scheme that doesn't use a swap
[15:57] <fastputty> nvm foundi t
[15:57] <dtownhero> SingAlong, they always said they wanted to be lighter then gnome but I think they lost that mission statement somewhere :p
[15:57] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: That may have been why it took so long then.
[15:57] <hackerkid1031> do you remember the website? i have 2 comps the one im on now(laptop) and the one thats not working (desktop)
[15:58] <dtownhero> Again much appreciated sir, have a wonderful day! ;-)
[15:58] <shane2peru> duffydack: you got the google fu today!  hmm, seems to be going out!  vhook is used to watermark you video.
[15:58] <llutz> hackerkid1031: try boot.kernel.org
[15:58] <speedhunt3r> hi, I am trying to enable effects back after falling back to my onboard card, how do I make X recheck for drivers? right now its using failsafe
[15:58] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ... but I don't really know; Like I said, I haven't tried to do this.
[15:58] <shane2peru> duffydack: odd, for once seems I need an older version, not the newer. lol :)
[15:58] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: 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] <jrib> ic56: hmm I thought sm-client-disable would be enough, but doesn't seem so...
[15:58] <SingAlong> dtownhero: :D
[15:58] <hackerkid1031> i dont have a cd burner it broke * by broke i mean i have a little bro who stuck playdough in it i h8 kids!
[15:58] <hackerkid1031> THANKS YOU LLUTZ
[15:58] <SingAlong> dtownhero: after using lxde even xfce seems bloated now :D
[15:58] <jrib> ic56: you know you can do it from the gui with file > "open a copy"?
[15:59] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I would think so, yeah.
[15:59] <crescendo> lol, xfce bloated.
[15:59] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, which graphics card
[15:59] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, do you have a usb thumb drive and will the system boot from usb?
[15:59] <dtownhero> SingAlong, have you tried enlightenment?
[15:59] <speedhunt3r> thiebaude, ati radeon 1250
[15:59] <SingAlong> dtownhero: well i'm planning to switch to stump in a couple of days. so i dont know how I would curse lxde after that :P
[15:59] <dtownhero> or w/e it is called
[15:59] <SingAlong> dtownhero: nope!
[15:59] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: 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] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: hrm. Well, maybe its time to re-engineer my approach...
[15:59] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: yes, of course.
[15:59] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, i dont know ati, just nvidia, sorry
[15:59] <Halitech> crescendo, xfce isn't bloated, xubuntu is bloated with everything they add to make it "easier"
[15:59] <ic56> jrib: I did not know about the GUI.  Let me try.
[16:00] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I knew a guy that was into doing this.
[16:00] <hackerkid1031> no the system wont boot from usb i tried and tryed with Unetbootin
[16:00] <chucky> SingAlong, so doesnt make any difference to my computer..just d GUI.. and i use ot from the log in screen right..?
[16:00] <speedhunt3r> thiebaude, ty amyway
[16:00] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I don't know of a way to use the GUI installer to build a LUKS-encrypted disk, though.
[16:00] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, np
[16:00] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I don't think you can.
[16:00] <SingAlong> dtownhero: 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 again
[16:00] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, do you have another system? you could try a PXE boot install
[16:00] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: FVWM-Crystal = awsome, used it for the longest time until my system died.
[16:01] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: is it modern enough like lxde atleast?
[16:01] <hackerkid1031> The Motherboard (EA81510A) is legacy so no it doesnt support usb boot in bios (newest ver ) P09
[16:01] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: maybe I could check the #lvm channel?  A lot of the tutorials point to LVM, but I know very little about it. :[
[16:01] <hackerkid1031> yeah
[16:01] <hackerkid1031> whats Pxe/
[16:01] <hackerkid1031> ?
[16:01] <SingAlong> chucky: it'll just use some space :P
[16:01] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: hang on a sec...
[16:01] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FVWM-Crystal
[16:02] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot
[16:02] <dual> Can somebody help me with grep? http://dpaste.org/trdY/
[16:03] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: whats the minimum ram i need for it?
[16:03] <hackerkid1031> i dont have any windows machines...
[16:03] <hackerkid1031> but ill look
[16:03] <hackerkid1031> at the site
[16:03] <jrib> dual: use the quotes
[16:03] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: i have 1gb ram on my netbook but i need something that takes up less space coz my dev tools are heavy
[16:03] <ic56> jrib: I am using an old Ubuntu (5.10).  Could you be more specific about "file> open a copy"?  I started File Browser, which I guess is a copy of Nautilus.  Navigated to the file I want to view, right clicked on the file, I don't see "open a copy".  Am I looking in the right place?
[16:03] <engla> So who here maintains planet.ubuntu.com? Can we please turn off the drop shadows, titles are impossible to read
[16:04] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: B/w it looks good :)
[16:04] <fastputty> is there a way to limit a process to not run over 30% of cpu ?
[16:04] <hackerkid1031> crap it requires a Windows computer
[16:04] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I pm'ed you.  Did you get it?
[16:04] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, ok, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet
[16:04] <dual> jrib, could you give me an example. I haven't used grep a lot
[16:04] <chucky> Halitech, opera seems nice
[16:04] <hackerkid1031> kk 1 sec
[16:04] <chucky> Halitech, neat n fast too..
[16:04] <jrib> ic56: 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] <hackerkid1031> THanks btw
[16:04] <dtownhero> SingAlong, what type of netbook is that? I don't think I could use one because of the tinyness... I'm like 6'5" 200 lbs with big hands (basketball player)
[16:04] <Halitech> chucky, hopefully it will do what you need
[16:04] <chucky> SingAlong, technically light weight on DEsktop environments=..?what?
[16:05] <llutz> hackerkid1031: tried debootstrap?
[16:05] <SingAlong> dtownhero: acer aspire one 150
[16:05] <stefg> !breezy | ic56
[16:05] <SingAlong> chucky: not much of gloss :)
[16:05] <jrib> dual: hold on, let me try...
[16:05] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: to be honest I have not used LXDE so I can't compare fvwm-crystal vs lxde  but I will say if you look up fvwm you will see it is one of the lightest out there. with the crystal theme it's great.
[16:05] <SingAlong> chucky: exactly what you need :)
[16:05] <dual> jrib: Thanks :)
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> !info flwm
[16:05] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: ya just read abt FVWM-Crystal. its meant for speed it seems.
[16:06] <thiebaude> !info openbox
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> Roll your own.. pick a wm.. pick a file manager.. away you go. :)
[16:06] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: i'm not a pro at linux. i just do a lot of web dev and my editor is emacs. so anything i should beware of to install FVWM-Crystal?
[16:06] <jrib> dual: the title can have "?
[16:06] <ic56> jrib: I am aware that 5.10 is out of service.  Thank you for clarifying what you meant about evince.  I see now that the option is not available in this version. :-(
[16:06] <thiebaude> Dr_Willis, there are ton of them
[16:06] <jrib> erm, dual : the title can have ':'?
[16:06] <chucky> SingAlong, roger ill search on the synaptic P manager
[16:06] <hackerkid1031> HALITECH THANK YOU! EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!!!! YOU ARE FRIKKIN AWSOME ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS GIVIN ME ADVICE!!!!! TYTYTYTYTYTY!!!!
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> jwm+rox filer. Is haney
[16:06]  * hackerkid1031 is away: Brb Hacking Your Computer
[16:07] <jrib> ic56: you know you can upgrade to dapper (6.06) which is LTS?
[16:07] <dual> jrib, yes, but if that's not possible to make a "filter" for, it's ok
[16:07] <jrib> !upgrade > ic56
[16:07] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: how does it fair on a 10 inch netbook screen? i dont need too many panels filling up my screen
[16:07] <dual> jrib, most times there's no :
[16:07] <Creepzor_> is their a grub gui?
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> it will proberly take longer to do a debootstrap install.. then it will to dowload a new cd. :)
[16:07] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: you may need to do some work on the command line to get it setup.
[16:07] <jrib> dual: something like: grep -o '"[^\"]*' | head -n 1
[16:08] <stefg> jrib: but even Dapper is EOL on the desktop now ....
[16:08] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: the pkg mgr says FVWM-Crystal is available. so do i still have to do some work?
[16:08] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: for example I think you may need to setup network manager applet to start when you log in
[16:08] <ic56> jrib: thank you but my reason for being on 5.10 is not naivete.
[16:08] <jrib> stefg: that's true...
[16:08] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: oh thats fine. i had to do that with lxde too. :)
[16:09] <dual> jrib: I found a solution with sed http://dpaste.org/8xme/ (grawity in #linux helped me). But thanks for helping me
[16:09] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: the nm-applet thing right. ya ya. :)
[16:09] <scruffy5776785> check out these fugly lesbians from myspace http://uglydykes.hostzi.com
[16:09] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: Yeah, you can start with whatever is in the repo and it's not too bad to update to the latest if you want
[16:09] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: update? you mean build by source?
[16:09] <scruffy5776785> check out these ugly lesbians http://uglydykes.hostzi.com
[16:10] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: oh no. i dont want to build a desktop mgr by source. I havent tried that yet.
[16:10] <mikinanuq> mikinanuq: It's usually a good idea to do it throug apt-get and then update it manuall if you want that way the depends all get put in
[16:10] <sipior> scruffy5776785: go away.
[16:10] <carresmd> scruffy5776785: lol
[16:10] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: no, just copy files over
[16:10] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: stuff like that
[16:10] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: oh thats fine.
[16:11] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: oh my its only 12mb,
[16:11] <Fednux> hello
[16:11] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: :D
[16:11] <Creepzor_> is their a grub gui?

[16:11] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: also, I just thought of a captcha
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> Creepzor_:  teres a kde grub config tool.. but ive rarely used it.,
[16:11] <thiebaude> !offtopic | Fednux
[16:11] <Creepzor_> name?
[16:11] <coffeej> i now have 2 displays set up, how do I switch between them
[16:12] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: if you mess around with the themes, there is one that you loose the menu so you can't go back with the little diamond menu to your previous theme
[16:12] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: you have to right click on the desktop or click on the desktop for the menu
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  using 2 monitors as seperate X displays?
[16:12] <ubuntu> if a program doesnt respond under ubuntu, how do i kill it? (windows ctrl-alt-delete equivalent)
[16:12] <chucky> SingAlong, does it have 2 workstations too?
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  if so try alt-ctrl-f7 and alt-ctrl-f8
[16:12] <Halitech> !dontzap
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:  use the 'xkill' command is one way
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> !kill
[16:13] <Halitech> ubuntu, killall -9 <package name>
[16:13] <ubuntu> it's the terminal
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:  sure you just dont need a ctrl-c ? :)
[16:13] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: what I'm talking about is the layout of the manels have themes.. I think I used laptop-top  or something like that
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> open a 2nd terminal. use xkill, click on first...
[16:13] <sczgilae> hello. im doing an script that give to the user a possibility to mount an network directory.   http://pastebin.com/d69c81afe          but a normal user has not permission to mount
[16:13] <crescendo> Is there a place I can see the reasons for package inclusion decisions in each release of Ubuntu?  For example, I'd like to see why xchat-gnome was chosen over xchat
[16:13] <foey> Can anyone help me with setting up Samba shares using the console. I'm using Ubuntu Server.
[16:14] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: puts all of your bars across the top and nothing else
[16:14] <sczgilae> i want to put the script on the Desktop and when they click i want that they could write a username and password
[16:14] <stefg> !samba | foey
[16:14] <ubuntu> Dr_Willis, i'm not sure.. pressing ctrl-c doesnt do anything
[16:14] <stefg> !ebox | foey
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:  depends on how/what its hung i guess.. You can kill most anything with xkill
[16:15] <coffeej> Dr_willis: yes, but instead of keeping the 2 separate, it has both x's but spread the desktop across the 2 instead of separating
[16:15] <Halitech> ubuntu, Dr_Willis just make sure you don't click on a panel or the desktop :O
[16:15] <foey> stefg : I'm not using Gnome, I'm using SSH to access and setup the server.
[16:15] <stefg> foey: so is the main purpose of the server being a file server in a windows environmet?
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  you mean you can mouse over to the 2nd one?  I only use twinview for my nvidia cards.. i have both monitors working a single WIDE desktop
[16:15] <foey> stefg : indeed, as well as a web server e.t.c.
[16:16] <stefg> foey: take a look at ebox ...
[16:16] <stefg> foey: less headache
[16:16] <foey> stefg : can I use ebox via the terminal?
[16:16] <coffeej> Dr_Willis:  yeah, what i wanted was 2 separate displays...
[16:16] <Halitech> foey, ebox gives you a gui that you can load in a web browser to do your configurations
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  and your video cards are?
[16:17] <stefg> foey: you connect to it with a browser. the server runs headless /X less, but you get a webgui
[16:17] <foey> Halitech, Stefg : Ah, great. Thats exactly what I need. Thanks :-)
[16:17] <jrib> foey: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html (which ubottu linked to)
[16:17] <foey> :~$ sudo smbd
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> !info sambadoc
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc
[16:17] <coffeej> nvidia... something or other:-/
[16:18] <foey> https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.htmlhttps://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  i use the nvidia-settings tool to enable/disable/tweak twinview or whatever you want.. run it as root.. and RESTART the X server afterwards... (log out to gdm, and restart gdm)
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  ive never seen much need for 2 seperate X displays. I perfer the 'twinview' Wide desktop mode.
[16:19] <thiebaude> coffeej, gksudo nvidia-settings
[16:20] <coffeej> Dr_Willis: that's how i tried to config separate x, and it just seemed to give me twinview
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  restart the X server after trying those settings for them to work properly.. run the settings tool as root.. save changes to the xorg.conf (and restart x)
[16:20] <syk> anyone have a link to dual boot ubuntu and windows 7(ubuntu installed first)
[16:20] <syk> tutorial*

[16:22] <Baba_B00ie> whats a good iso editor for ubuntu, something similar to UltraISO on the windows platform
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> Baba_B00ie:  depends on what you want to do with the iso.
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> !info kiso
[16:23] <eni23> i'm back anain. after a reboot still the same: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use.
[16:23] <mayajowo> tete
[16:23] <Baba_B00ie> Dr_Willis, i want to modify a bootable cd. i want to add/update the virus patterns. i use a bartPE based disc.
[16:23] <sabine_> Hi, my printer (Epson D68) does not print the parts with 100% black on the test page and thus no (black) text - the fields with 10-90% black are printed correctly
[16:24] <mayajowo> hlpme to install coreldraw
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> Baba_B00ie:  you are modifying a windows cd?
[16:24] <llutz> mayajowo: /j ##windows
[16:25] <genii> mayajowo: Why not instead install SK1 which can use .cdr   and vector graphics?
[16:25] <mayajowo> hemm
[16:25] <eni23> and i cant' play anythin on snd_hda_intel anymore (since yesterday???), it only plays cracking noise
[16:25] <eni23> but the rme hammerfall still works
[16:25] <stefg> sabine_: check that the black ink cartridge isn't empty, and that it is correctly snapped in the socket and that the jets are clean. I know that the D68 works (my gf has one) so it's probably mechanical
[16:26] <eni23> how i can told all programms to use the hammerfall?
[16:26] <eni23> (like firefox and vmware)
[16:26] <sabine_> stefg: well, but the part with 90% black is printed just fine, 100% black however ist just blank
[16:26] <tuser> looking for info to merge 2 apt caches...
[16:26] <Jamolski> i need to apply an old patch to the latest kernel release
[16:26] <Jamolski> is someone know how to do this
[16:26] <Jamolski> http://people.debian.org/~tbm/dma/dma-patch
[16:27] <stefg> sabine_: 90% black is still a lot of C, M. and Y .... you won't notice the K missing
[16:28] <sabine_> stefg: I thought the point of the test page was to print sheer colors?
[16:28] <john_diss__> anyone know a tutorial covering rsync and or luckybackup with windows & smb shares?
[16:28] <mikinanuq> eni23: nothing changed? just stopped working?
[16:29] <eni23> but when i choose rme-hammerfall in audio-config nothing sounds in totem etc. im going CRAZY, why, it worked fine a few days ago!!
[16:29] <system404> hey guys on ubuntu jaunty im trying to enable visual effects but get error saying desktop effects could not be enabled been a while since ive used ubuntu but if i remember correctly i had to download something via synapptics could someone jog my memory please
[16:29] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: no nothing changed
[16:29] <stefg> sabine_: i'm talking of CMYK colors ... cyan magenta yellow and Kontrast (black). your black cartridge doesn't work, and the 90% is just a lot of the other colors
[16:29] <eni23> last update i did 2weeks ago
[16:29] <Feldegast> john_diss__ i came across a windows rsync package using cygwin
[16:29] <mayajowo> why?+
[16:30] <sabine_> stefg: I have configured RGB colors in the printing dialigue
[16:30] <john_diss__> Feldegast I am trying to backup shares from an ubuntu box
[16:30] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: the only  thing i did as root in the last time was change the ssh-port, but that's a complete different thing
[16:30] <soUPERMan> how do you check for updates in command with jaunty?
[16:30] <IdleOne> sudo apt-get update
[16:30] <shane2peru> can I have two versions of ffmpeg installed on my system?
[16:30] <Halitech> soUPERMan, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:31] <system404> hey guys on ubuntu jaunty im trying to enable visual effects but get error saying desktop effects could not be enabled been a while since ive used ubuntu but if i remember correctly i had to download something via synapptics could someone jog my memory please
[16:31] <mikinanuq> eni23: I think you may be able to explicitly tell the system to not load the hda intel module...
[16:31] <sabine_> stefg: mtink reads that there is 69% ink in the black cartige
[16:31] <Halitech> system404, have you installed the video card drivers?
[16:31] <stefg> sabine_: still a 4 colour printer physically uses CMYK ... it's just processing. your black cartridge doesn't work
[16:31] <soUPERMan> well....i tried sudo aptitude safe-upgrade after sudo aptitude update, is it correct Halitech
[16:31] <eni23> here some infos about my sound-system: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=aec20604ca191065d1397344fc0b66e3fe921d13
[16:31] <system404> i think they got installed during instalation
[16:31] <mikinanuq> eni23: never tried it but may be in the /etc/modules  config. it could be that there's a conflict between the cards
[16:31] <Feldegast> john_diss__ have a look at http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp
[16:31] <system404> intel 945 chipset
[16:31] <IdleOne> soUPERMan: yes that is fine
[16:31] <Halitech> soUPERMan, that should work as well
[16:32] <soUPERMan> thanks
[16:32] <john_diss__> Feldegast thx
[16:32] <Halitech> !intel | system404
[16:32] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: but why just from one day to another?
[16:32] <system404> cool ill check out that link thanks man
[16:33] <stefg> sabine_: take the black out, clean it and put it back .... and if the cartridge is old it might hve dried out, even i mtink or the printer thinks that there's still ink in it. your black cartridge doesn't work
[16:33] <defdef> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 in vmware server, and while it is pulling correct DHCP/DNS info from our domain controller, I cannot ping google or browse the web. Any ideas?
[16:33] <crescendo> I'd like to install a bootable OS to a LUKS-encrypted partition, and leave some space for a FAT32 windows-mountable (unencrypted) partition.  Where do I start?
[16:33] <mayajowo> hem
[16:33] <Baba_B00ie> Dr_Willis, it's a bartpe cd.. boots up in a pe enviorment. and with the disc i run scans for file system and virus's and many other goodies. but i just want to inject this disc with the newest antivirus patterns so i don't have to download them or use a usb key everytime. trying to keep disc updated
[16:33] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: the problem is, that rme is a special hardware. sometimes its better to play sound on the intel
[16:33] <soUPERMan> does anyone use slax linux?? sorry i know it's not the place but i kinda need help
[16:33] <Prune> If I have an open application, can I add it to a favorite somewhere, or make an alias?
[16:33] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[16:34] <mikinanuq> eni23: true that's strange... may be an IRQ issue somewhere.
[16:34] <mayajowo> what sk1
[16:34] <mattwj2002> I need help finding a print server that'll work with ubuntu....you know a device that take a usb printer and gives it ethernet capability
[16:34] <lizzzy> So when I ftp to a remote computer (home computer, where I have 2 OS's installed - XP + Vista). It connects to vista and not XP, although I have XP up and running now.
[16:35] <Baba_B00ie> Dr_Willis, basically i need a program for linux that's similar to UltraISO for the windows platform.
[16:35] <sabine_> stefg: it's a new cartige, there is even black on the internal jet test pattern
[16:35] <fferret> I'm having what appears to be a stack overflow issue with Imagewriter and Python
[16:35] <mattwj2002> !printserver
[16:35] <paolino> hello, anyone can point me to the guide to set up my box as router ?  it's a desktop installation
[16:35] <john_diss__> Feldegast unfortunately that seems to run on the win box.. I am trying to backup windows shares and smb shares remotely from rsync on ubuntu. LuckyBackup never identifies my shares as being valid any ideas?
[16:36] <Feldegast> that connects to the rsync service on the remote box
[16:36] <mayajowo> helpme install coreldraw
[16:36] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: when you say it: the irq of the intel hda is every time different. i think that's not normal?
[16:36] <llutz> mayajowo: /j ##windows
[16:36] <Halitech> mayajowo, are you trying to install using wine or in windows or what?
[16:37] <john_diss__> Feldegast - got it cheers
[16:37] <mattwj2002> anyone have any ideas?
[16:37] <Feldegast> john_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 systems
[16:37] <mayajowo> halitech? wine yes
[16:37] <mikinanuq> eni23: 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 problems
[16:37] <Baba_B00ie> heh, didn't even know that coreldraw was still in development. haven't heard a thing about it in years
[16:37] <Halitech> mayajowo, you may want to check in #wine
[16:38] <mayajowo> error in wine halitech why
[16:38] <fferret> When I sudo ImageWriter, I get this:
[16:38] <fferret> mgthompson@nala:~$ sudo imagewriter

[16:38] <mikinanuq> eni23: you can try disabling the hammerf BIOS and see if the intel works fine then you can know for sure if there is some sort of IRQ conflict
[16:39] <Halitech> mayajowo, no idea as you didn't give an error message
[16:39] <stefg> sabine_: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_D68 might get you further. I have a positive proof that the D68 just works out of the box on hardy, and there must have been some real stupid regression if it does not on later versions
[16:39] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: the hammerfall is a pcmcia card and a device, i cannot set anything in the bios for it. but unplugit ;)
[16:40] <mayajowo> no open halitech wine notsupprot
[16:40] <mattwj2002> print servers anyone?
[16:40] <mattwj2002> :-s
[16:40] <Halitech> mayajowo, huh?
[16:40] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: i got windows on the machine too. i will boot into it and try if the intel is workin there.
[16:40] <t0s> im installing ubuntu do im making a 3gb swap area, i select logical for this correct?
[16:40] <mattwj2002> !ignored
[16:40] <fferret> mattwj2002:  Using CUPS?
[16:40] <paolino> anyone with net knowledge can tell me if setting up a bridge is the way to go to make my ubuntu box a router ?
[16:40] <Halitech> t0s, no, select it as a swap
[16:40] <llutz> t0s: doesn't matter
[16:40] <mayajowo> what halitech
[16:41] <mattwj2002> ummm
[16:41] <mattwj2002> I am not sure
[16:41] <gain_> hell
[16:41] <gain_> o
[16:41] <stefg> mattwj2002: most print servers anyway use an embedded linux, so you usually can use them...
[16:41] <Halitech> mayajowo, what do you mean wine not supported?
[16:41] <mikinanuq> eni23: looks like hammerfall is on 16 and intel is on 16 :( from that dump you sent
[16:41] <NEWbuntu49589023> Hello everyone, I an somewhat new to Ubuntu.. and I have a question..
[16:41] <mattwj2002> I am just looking to buy a print server
[16:41] <t0s> ok, and the same with when i make a partition for / and /home? doesnt matter on those either?
[16:41] <llutz> t0s: doesn't matter
[16:41] <mattwj2002> I need to know which one would be compatible
[16:41] <t0s> lol k
[16:41] <fferret> mattwj2002 Oh, I thought you wanted to set one up.
[16:41] <mikinanuq> eni23: so that's probably not it but worth a shot if you want to just do it for kicks and remove it to see if the intel works fine without the hammerfall in the system
[16:42] <mattwj2002> the one I want isn't
[16:42] <mattwj2002> "_
[16:42] <mattwj2002> :)
[16:42] <sabine_> stefg: ok, you were right, it works after cleanting the inkjets

[16:44] <Halitech> mayajowo, but what version, I know you are trying to install corel draw
[16:44] <fferret> mattwj2002:  Noty according to Sysmon or gtop
[16:44] <mattwj2002> oh okay

[16:48] <user2> check /etc/resolv.conf
[16:48] <llutz> NEWbuntu49589023: look at nvidia xorg.driver options, "ConnectedMonitor" or "UseDisplayDevice"
[16:48] <ashmew2> i <3 Terminal :D
[16:48] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: the crystal shows only preferences menu along with junk like take screenshot etc
[16:48] <Halitech> llutz, have to like people that stick around for 30 seconds after asking a question
[16:48] <mecha-streisand> @defdef is the VM set for bridged? or nat?
[16:49] <defdef> @ Mecha= bridged
[16:49] <User789> I have an older computer that has a AMD 3000+ 64bit process or with 1 gig of ram, using an AGP 6800 GT.. when I install Ubuntu 9.04 it goes smooth, when finished I wanted to turn on the graphical stuff, but get prompted to install Nvidia drivers... ok I do that... when the computer restarts it no longer uses the VGA port but wants to use the DVI port.. well my DVI port is bad on this one... how can I switch it????
[16:49] <fferret> I'm having what appears to be a stack overflow issue with Imagewriter and Python
[16:49] <user2> @User789: try /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:49] <quantum> how can i open port 465
[16:49] <defdef> What confuses me is that it pulls the DHCP/DNS info just fine, but still won't resolve anything
[16:49] <user2> i mean, adjust your preferences
[16:50] <mecha-streisand> @defdef have you tried doing a static?
[16:50] <user2> @defdef: check /etc/resolv.conf
[16:50] <fferret> When I sudo ImageWriter, I get this:

[16:50] <defdef> @ Mecha- no, not yet. @user2- I am not sure what you mean by "checking" that. Is that a config file that is located somewhere? Log file?
[16:51] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: what happened?
[16:51] <stefg> defdef: so is it set to bridged or host network ?
[16:51] <user2> @defdef: yes, it defines your domain and dns servers. just open it in an editor and look for your nameserver. if its not defined there, you found your problem.
[16:51] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: highly configurable. you add a little text file in your  .fvwm-crystal/Apps/etc...
[16:51] <llutz> User789: look at nvidia xorg.driver options, "ConnectedMonitor" or "UseDisplayDevice"
[16:51] <espenel> hello
[16:51] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: also where do i set that laptop-top thing?
[16:51] <Halitech> User789, have you checked in nvidia-settings?
[16:51] <User789> ok
[16:51] <User789> ya checked the settings
[16:51] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: you can add just what you need or there is a tool that will create the menu for you
[16:52] <User789> some how it won't let me switch back to the VGA
[16:52] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: menumake or makemenu something like that
[16:52] <defdef> @stefg- bridged. @user2- Alright I will check that, thank you. Be right back.
[16:52] <Halitech> User789, did you run it with gksudo?
[16:52] <User789> the DVI is bad its all red... I can use it if I turn the Red channel down... does that matter....
[16:52] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: the laptop theme is somewhere in that crystal menu
[16:53] <User789> Halitech.... Get app
[16:53] <User789> well actually the first time it poped up as unrestricted driver
[16:53] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: just click on the different ones and reload crystal when it asks you.
[16:53] <User789> or something
[16:53] <t0s> how many partitions are the you allowed to create?
[16:53] <t0s> -the
[16:53] <whileimhere> hi. I have several .vsd files from visio. Is there a way to look at them and edit them in linux?
[16:53] <Halitech> User789, you need to run gksudo nvidia-setting, log out and then restart X
[16:53] <ubuntu_> hi
[16:53] <SingAlong> both menumake and makemenu return errors
[16:53] <User789> ok
[16:53] <ubuntu_> hello
[16:54] <fferret> whileimhere:  Only if you install Visio using Wine or Crossover.
[16:54] <llutz> t0s: max 4 primary or 11/27 via libscsi
[16:54] <whileimhere> fferret: is there no way to get them converted?
[16:54] <llutz> t0s: >4 are logical drives in extended partition
[16:54] <Halitech> User789, or try gksudo nvidia-config .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691193
[16:54] <soc> hi
[16:55] <soc> are there any problems with the ubuntu keyserver?
[16:55] <stefg> User789: the proprietary nvidia driver brings its own configuration tool (nvidia-settings). But i haven't found an opton in it to select dvi or vga on it. my understanding is that this is some sort of auto-detection on the card itself, and that might be broken, too, along with the dvi output
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> whileimhere: you may get a visio viewer to run in wine
[16:55] <soc> somehow keyserver.ubuntu.com doesn't load here
[16:55] <arand> soc: I t was down before might dtill be
[16:55] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: check out this howto, it's informative. I remember I installed it from here when I did it. I'll look to see if there's something on the menu.  http://polishlinux.org/apps/fvwm-crystal-speed-and-transparency/
[16:55] <fferret> whileimhere:  Stand by one moment...
[16:55] <arand> soc: you could try another keyserver.
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> whileimhere: could try dia, openoffice.org draw or kivio
[16:56] <whileimhere> okay
[16:56] <whileimhere> I will do that first
[16:56] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: thanks!
[16:57] <defdef> Alright I checked resolv.conf and it told me the same thing that ifconfig did- that I have the correct DNS server. To test DNS as an issue though I tried browsing some sites by IP alone, still no response. I think the problem is with VMWARE somehow but I don't know where. Bridged mode is correct, right?
[16:58] <nimrod|king> defdef: I always use nat, not bridged
[16:58] <user2> @defdef: Bridget means that your VM is connected directly to your network.
[16:58] <user2> @defef: try nat.
[16:59] <The_Dead_91> hi all
[16:59] <nimrod|king> !hi | The_Dead_91
[17:00] <eni23> mikinanuq: just back from windows- intel does not work ;(
[17:00] <fferret> whileiamhere: There seem to be several converters at Freshmeat that convert Visio to FOSS formats, so I stand corrected.
[17:00] <eni23> i think its something with the mainboard
[17:00] <The_Dead_91> i want to pose you a question
[17:00] <The_Dead_91> (if i can, sincerly :) )
[17:00] <nimrod|king> !ask | The_Dead_91
[17:01] <fferret> I'm having what appears to be a stack overflow issue with Imagewriter and Python
[17:01] <fferret> When I sudo ImageWriter, I get this:
[17:01] <mikinanuq> eni23: oh, well at least you're moving along :)
[17:01] <fferret> http://paste.ubuntu.com/282261/
[17:01] <stefg> defdef: yes, bridged mode means that it shares the physical interface with the host-machine, not the host machine acting as a router for the guests. so i'd head to #vmware (or is it ##vmware ? )
[17:02] <eni23> damn its a nearly fresh mainboard :(
[17:02] <The_Dead_91> Do you know any basic ide for ubuntu? (not for vb)
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> !ide
[17:03] <The_Dead_91> i'll kill that bot... XD
[17:03] <mikinanuq> eni23: may be able to return
[17:03] <mikinanuq> eni23: sure there's nothing in the BIOS or if you take out the hammerfall?
[17:04] <mayajowo> tetst
[17:04] <eni23> i take it out. bit it's the secound time i returned the mainboard
[17:04] <mayajowo> halitech
[17:05] <mayajowo> ham
[17:05] <MaloenBCN> Ok, i have an IBM T30 with xubuntu, can i have some useful info on graphic/audio drivers, i checked all the nets.
[17:05] <eni23> ﻿mikinanuq: the mb was faulty a few months ago, then i returned it
[17:05] <eni23> and get a new but the same
[17:05] <MaloenBCN> And hi everybody.
[17:05] <llutz> MaloenBCN: take a look at thinwiki
[17:05] <llutz> thinkwiki, sry
[17:05] <stefg> MaloenBCN: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_8.04_(Hardy_Heron)_on_a_ThinkPad_T30
[17:06] <microtech> MaloenBCN: that has a radeon 7500 in it
[17:06] <mayajowo> ?
[17:06] <MaloenBCN> ok the i should forget bout xubuntu then
[17:06] <microtech> MaloenBCN: nevermind, theres a faq then lol
[17:06] <_AaLinux> How can one know if it's 32 bit machine or 64 bit machine?
[17:06] <eni23> i'm not lucky. i always get monday-machines ;)
[17:06] <Maleko> where is ufw logs are stored in?
[17:06] <microtech> _AaLinux: you mean from within the os?>
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[17:06] <Maleko> UFW
[17:07] <MaloenBCN> yeah, thing is i wanted xubuntu there, but if hardy heron the only reasonable choice, then DL time
[17:07] <_AaLinux> microtech: Yes.
[17:07] <MaloenBCN> but cheers
[17:07] <tarun> _AaLinux: i believe uname -a
[17:07] <microtech> _AaLinux: uname -a   or  like action said  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: you can websearch the cpu model, uname -a    will tell you the arch of the linux
[17:08] <microtech> ya uname is faster
[17:08] <microtech> =)
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: i686 = 32bit  x86_64 = 64bit
[17:08] <mayajowo> the ui language invalid? why
[17:08] <mayajowo> help me
[17:08] <microtech> ok
[17:08] <odonata> if i have 2 powerconnectors and 3 drives, would it be possible to remove the systemdrive, plugin the 2 storage drives and copy files inbetween with an live cd?
[17:09] <zilla1> my machine is connected to the DSL modem through a router. I've got internet decently fine, but I can't connect to the modem's IP (192.168.1.254) to administer it. my LAN addresses are set to 192.168.2.1 - 192,168.2.51 Anyone got an idea as to what boneheaded thing i'm doing wrong
[17:09] <_AaLinux> ActionParsnip: cat /proc/cpuinfo , where is i686 or x86_64
[17:09] <stefg> odonata: if you still have a working CD drive an enough ram
[17:09] <llutz> odonata: sure
[17:09] <mayajowo> helpme coreldraw12 in wine language invalid
[17:10] <llutz> mayajowo: /j #wine
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: its not, those things are in the uname output, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name    will tell you the cpu make and model, you can websearch that
[17:10] <odonata> stefg: theers 4gb of ram, and the drive is IDE. is ntfs read only still?
[17:10] <llutz> mayajowo: /j #winehq, sry
[17:10] <mayajowo> yes lluts
[17:10] <stefg> odonata: no, ntfs-3g has write support now (although a bit slow)
[17:11] <mayajowo> yes llutsz
[17:11] <fortruth> join #ubuntu-cn
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> odonata: all drives are now ide
[17:11] <odonata> stefg: so 250gb would take some time i suppose?
[17:11] <stefg> odonata: and consider preparing a USB thumb drive .... still faster than a CD
[17:11] <nOStahl> hey guys i just tried to boot up my ubuntu laptop and it cant mount my hd  root partition and it fails to load    [sdb] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
[17:11] <nOStahl> any ideas?
[17:11] <_AaLinux> tarun: microtech: ActionParsnip: 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux    , Is it 32bit or 64 bit?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: you have a 32bit kernel so the OS is 32bit
[17:12] <microtech> 32bit _AaLinux
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: you can however run a 32bit OS on a 64bit CPU
[17:12] <odonata> ActionParsnip: SATA drives are ide drives?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> odonata: IDE = integrated drive electronics
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> odonata: SATA drives have this so are IDE
[17:13] <mayajowo> the ui language registrasi list is invalid coreldrawa12 in wine
[17:13] <tarun> _AlLinux: it is 32 bit
[17:13] <llutz> odonata: nope, they are all mapped through libata
[17:13] <_AaLinux> ActionParsnip: How would i know if it's 64bit CPU or not?
[17:13] <mayajowo> hem
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> odonata: old drives didnt have this (and so had no cache or S.M.A.R.T.) and relied solely on the controller
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name   and websearch for the output
[17:13] <odonata> well
[17:13] <_AaLinux> odonata: IDE=Integrated Developement Environment
[17:13] <stanworld> oi,witch package contain the library GL for compiling projecct that require -lGL ?
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> odonata: when people say IDE they usually mean PATA or parallel ata
[17:14] <odonata> ActionParsnip: that would mean the old big flat interface?
[17:14] <stefg> IDE like in integrated drive electronics
[17:14] <ascheel> Can 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 feasible
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> odonata: yes
[17:15] <mayajowo> undur2
[17:15] <odonata> then the dvd drive is PATA :D and drives are SATA
[17:15] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
[17:15] <mayajowo> undur
[17:15] <stefg> ascheel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[17:16] <quantum> port 465 has been opened in the ufw but port scanner says its still closed
[17:16] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: just finished going through this -> http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/01/03/howto-install-fvwm-crystal-304-on-edgy/
[17:16] <quantum> how can i open it?
[17:16] <odonata> ActionParsnip: so the scenario of moving data from one NTFS to another NTFS would be no problem with 9.10 livecd?
[17:16] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: just trying stumpwm now.
[17:16] <hey_joe> can anyone tell me why i can't remote desktop over my VPN?
[17:16] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: 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_joe> do i need to allow non local connections?
[17:16] <chucky> SingAlong, sorry was busy
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> odonata: its not a problem at all
[17:17] <SingAlong> chucky: np :)
[17:17] <ascheel> stefg: so it's not just a matter of popping the Blu-Ray into the drive and hitting play.  :(
[17:17] <mikinanuq> simulation: ah ok
[17:17] <hey_joe> it 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] <chucky> SingAlong, found 9 packages
[17:17] <SingAlong> chucky: done installing?
[17:17] <odonata> thank you then :D
[17:17] <chucky> except lxnm i install d rest right..?what next?
[17:17] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: ActionParsnip: How could you be sure if it's 32bit CPU from this? http://pastebin.com/m1ec414dc
[17:17] <chucky> SingAlong, except lxnm i install d rest right..?what next?
[17:17] <stefg> odonata: 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 level
[17:18] <hey_joe> odonata: but dont forget to set bs=
[17:18] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all !
[17:18] <SingAlong> chucky: just click and mark lxde and it should be fine :)
[17:18] <odonata> ehm
[17:18] <nOStahl> hey 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] <SingAlong> logout and go to session and select lxde. then go ahead
[17:18] <stefg> odonata: like sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4k
[17:18] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: yes, it's 64bit
[17:18] <odonata> stefg, hey_joe: the source drive is a 250gb and the destination drive is a 1000gb
[17:19] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: is there anything important on that HD?
[17:19] <nOStahl> mikinanuq yes
[17:19] <odonata> would that be a problem?
[17:19] <chucky> SingAlong, so only lxde thats it not d rest?
[17:19] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: How could you be sure?What was that information from there?
[17:19] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what does : sudo fdisk -l says?
[17:19] <Chun1> Hi - all of a sudden I'm without sound, in Jaunty - any advice? Everything is unmuted in volume control, and on full
[17:19] <nOStahl> when 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 error
[17:19] <SingAlong> chucky: yes. only lxde will do. but if it installs other pkgs go ahead. just dont install lxnm
[17:20] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: 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] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, make sure nothing is set to lowest level
[17:20] <stefg> odonata: 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 drives
[17:20] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: any clicking from the hd?
[17:20] <nOStahl> mikinanuq its ssd
[17:20] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what filesys do you have on that?
[17:20] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: I can tell from your model name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D  CPU 2.66GHz
[17:20] <nOStahl> ext4
[17:20] <chucky> SingAlong, roger..
[17:21] <Chun1> ^mNotIntelligent: yep, all on max
[17:21] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, then it should not be an issue, r u on jaunty
[17:21] <nOStahl> aye jaunty
[17:21] <nOStahl> so how do i fix this without loosing data
[17:22] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, oops ,,,then no idea , did you try rebooting your sys, btw?
[17:22] <Chun1> ^mNotIntelligent: yep, coupla times
[17:23] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what dmesg has to say regarding your hd ?
[17:23] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: How did you do that , searching?
[17:23] <carresmd> dual, did you 'fix' your problem with that string?
[17:23] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: no searching, I just knew from experience.
[17:23] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: Is there any way to tell from cat /proc/cpuinfo directly?
[17:23] <quantum> hi, i can send emails from the server, but can't receive them. using postfix + iptables. opened ports 110, 25, 143, 993, 995
[17:24] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, no response from google either?
[17:24] <grawity> quantum: Have you checked /var/log/mail.log? Have you tried connecting manually to the smtpd?
[17:24] <dual> carresmd, the grep question I had? Yes. A guy in #linux helped me. Do you want to see the command we ended up with?
[17:24] <nOStahl> http://www.pastie.org/636860
[17:24] <quantum> grawity, can telnet to port 25 and port 110
[17:24] <carresmd> dual, yeah.. I have been toying around with your problem as well and I did have a 'fix'
[17:24] <grawity> quantum: 110 is only for retrieving mail, it's unrelated.
[17:25] <dual> carresmd, 2 sec
[17:25] <Chun1> ^mNotIntelligent: currently looking, but all I really have to work with is 'jaunty no sound' and there are probably hundreds of possible causes
[17:25] <quantum> grawity, will look at mail.log again, but can't remember anything interesting
[17:25] <stefg> !sound | cun1
[17:25] <stefg> !sound | chun1
[17:25] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, i agree, but somehow we've to narrow it down,,,else it would be bit difficult to fix

[17:27] <nOStahl> so whats the verdict
[17:27] <dual> carresmd, ok :)

[17:29] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, and you;re sure that disk is supported by your current OS?
[17:29] <nOStahl> been running ubuntu for years
[17:29] <grawity> Beardbar: What exactly was added? Just a single line?
[17:29] <Beardbar> yes a single line which is an iframe
[17:29] <nOStahl> just went to boot it uup this morning and it did this first time
[17:29] <grawity> Beardbar: Can you PM me the entire line? Or at least the beginning of it?
[17:30] <Beardbar> on every file of the site, which is about 35k plus files :( ya sure
[17:30] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, are you sure your disk is okey?
[17:30] <nOStahl> how do i check it
[17:30] <chucky> singalong,its done installin now what?
[17:30] <erUSUL> Beardbar: a little sed oneliner that removes the line and find would be able to do it ...
[17:30] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, use badblocks or e2fsck etc ....just google on how to use it properly...be careful
[17:30] <steven__> hi
[17:31] <grawity> Beardbar: Try this. First choose a file, make a backup of it (with 'cp'), and use:  sed -i.old '/^<iframe/ d' file.html

[17:34] <chucky> LXDE anyone???????????/
[17:34] <gain_> gnome-display-properties for the configuration
[17:34] <chucky> erUSUL, thanx
[17:34] <grawity> erUSUL: It probably is - already PM'd Beardbar one that matches just that specific tag
[17:34] <erUSUL> chucky: sorry for not being of more help
[17:34] <chucky> erUSUL, np:)

[17:35] <steven__> My hdd temp is 57-59 degress celsius IDLE. smartctl reports  FAILING NOW. I first notice this because of a shutdown due to overheat (proc temp are fine, 35 deg). Don't know if the hard disk even spins down but if I do hdparm -y /dev/sda it istantly spins-up again.
[17:35] <stefg> steven__: time fo a backup, eh?
[17:35] <ksiuke> !offtopic > kisuke
[17:35]  * erUSUL nods
[17:36] <dassouki> is there a way i can list my largest directories in terms of file size ?
[17:36] <dassouki> in my home folder
[17:36] <steven__> stefg, lol, it reports failing now only near the temperature sensor. I don't think the whole drive is failing.
[17:36] <llutz> dassouki: something like: du -xh --max-depth=1 ~/
[17:37] <LexR> !lts
[17:37] <stefg> steven__: would you bet your data on that?
[17:37] <kisuke> !topic > kisuke
[17:38] <dassouki> llutz: thanks
[17:38] <Stumpie> Hello, I have ubuntu 9.04 installed on my other PC, I was wondering if it is possible to virtualize a  Macintosh OS, like OSX? I am looking at virtualbox, but there is no script for any macintosh OS. TIA :)
[17:38] <kisuke> !offtopic >kisuke
[17:38] <steven__> stefg, no ofc, will do a backup (already have one, usually I do a backup every 6 months and then I install the new release of ubuntu). Now i'm trying to fix this issue
[17:40] <unoobtu> i got a stupid bash question..
[17:40] <guntbert> !keyserver
[17:40] <erUSUL> dassouki: du -hS | sort -n | tail
[17:40] <dorne> How do you set Shortcut keys in the gnome-terminal to 'disabled'?
[17:40] <unoobtu> this piece of script won't work:     if [ "$WEB_ROOT"="" ]; then
[17:40] <JuJuBee> When I do  cp -R ~/x ~/y I get a complete backup of folder x named folder y.  BUT when I do it a second time, I get /y/x  Why?
[17:41] <kisuke> stumpie you can install OSX to a virtual machine but it will be a violation of apples EULA
[17:41] <grawity> JuJuBee: Because the first time you do it, ~/y does not exist yet.
[17:41] <unoobtu> running the script with bash ./script
[17:41] <kisuke> !pgp
[17:41] <stefg> steven__: whatever causes that temparauture: first you need to backup your data then investigate the situation. maybe the drive is just mounted in the wrong place (doesn't get enough airstream), maybe a bearing has failed and the drive is now grinding itself to death. However, i personally never find the trouble with broken drives worth the 50-100 bucks for a new one. half an hour of work...
[17:41] <stefg> ...already equals the price for a drive so i'm quick in replacing them
[17:41] <ghostlines> does anyone know how to open vim with a line automatically added by default like #!/usr/local/bin/python ?
[17:41] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up anyone???
[17:41] <JuJuBee> grawity: how do I do it correctly? so I can run the backup many times ?
[17:42] <grawity> unoobtu: It should be:  if [ "$WEB_ROOT" = "" ];
[17:42] <grawity> JuJuBee: For backups, rsync may be a little better.
[17:42] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up .........anyone???
[17:42] <waga> hello
[17:42] <nimrod|king> steven__: I agree with stefg - just buy a new hdd
[17:42] <steven__> stefg, I forgot to mention i'm using a notebook
[17:42] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up .........anyone???
[17:42] <JuJuBee> even for making a backup of a local folder in my home dir?
[17:42] <unoobtu> grawity with spaces and without "then"? :o
[17:42] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up .........anyone???
[17:42] <grawity> unoobtu: Only add the spaces.
[17:42] <waga> how can i format a floppy for FAT12?
[17:43] <Stumpie> kisuke, that is ok, apple violated me when they bricked my iphone :) Would you happen to know what software I can use to do it? I have KVM, Qemu, and virtualbox at the moment.
[17:43] <grawity> waga: mkfs.vfat
[17:43] <unoobtu> grawity omg.. ok -__- works :P
[17:43] <unoobtu> grawity thx a lot -___o
[17:43] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up .........anyone???
[17:43] <genii> waga: mkfs.vfat -F12
[17:43] <kisuke> stumpie i'd have to use google... but in a couple of miites i will
[17:43] <genii> (for specifially FAT12)
[17:43] <grawity> Ximbinha: FYI, doing that can anger many users.
[17:44] <JuJuBee> grawity: should I use rsync for such a simple task?  there is no simple cp syntax?
[17:44] <dorne> I need my F1 when inside my school's iseries, and everytime I hit it, it shows the gnome terminal help =/
[17:44] <stefg> steven__: that can be  a non-functioning fan or an acpi bug... however. notebook hd's are even more failuer prone. harddisks don't like to be thrown around
[17:44] <ZykoticK9> chucky, log out as your user and at the GDM/KDM screen choose Session then select lxde
[17:44] <Stumpie> kisuke, dont worry about it, I am googleing it :) Thanks for your help :)
[17:44] <kisuke> stumpie offtopic why did they brick your iphone?
[17:44] <grawity> JuJuBee: rsync is better for backups because it also checks which files were changed (instead of just copying the entire thing).
[17:44] <grawity> JuJuBee: But about cp... try cp ~/x/. ~/y
[17:45] <JuJuBee> grawity: ok fair enough...
[17:45] <waga> is there any gui thingy for formatting a floppy
[17:45] <JuJuBee> grawity: thanks
[17:45] <chucky> ZykoticK9, ok thanx..will do so the start up screen is what ur reference is to?
[17:45] <waga> ??
[17:45] <Stumpie> my fat wife wanted to develope software for it, and she installed some hack to allow her to add applications from a non-apple store source.
[17:45] <grawity> waga: What's wrong with mkfs?
[17:45] <ZykoticK9> chucky, yup
[17:45] <chucky> ZykoticK9, roger
[17:45] <waga> i dont'
[17:45] <steven__> stefg, ok thanks, will investigate on it. what about the drive that spins-up just after spindown?
[17:46] <erUSUL> waga: maybe gparted can do it. or gnome-format
[17:46] <Jill> who is there? O_o
[17:46] <waga> i have to type mkfs.vfat -FAT12 <device name>  i don
[17:46] <llutz> Stumpie: so it wasn't apple bricking it. troll away
[17:46] <unoobtu> grawity i'm calling a script that exports a variable, but in the calling script i can't see that variable..
[17:46] <waga> i don't know floppys name...
[17:46] <grawity> waga: /dev/fd0
[17:46] <grawity> unoobtu: How are you calling it?
[17:47] <kisuke> stumpie virginize it
[17:47] <Stumpie> llutz apple was the one who turned it off
[17:47] <waga> waga@ubuntu:/media$ mkfs.vfat -F12 /dev/fd0
[17:47] <grawity> unoobtu: When a script is _executed_ (like ./script), it _cannot_ affect the environment of its parent process.
[17:47] <waga> mkfs.vfat 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008)
[17:47] <waga> mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing reserved sector
[17:47] <waga> waga@ubuntu:/media$
[17:47] <Stumpie> kisuke, thanks :)
[17:47] <FloodBot2> waga: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:47] <stefg> steven__: as i said, it might be an acpi bug or can be damaged drive electronics. i'd use something like the UBCD or the SysResCD and linvestigate the smart logs and check it with the vendor utility
[17:47] <waga> sorry, i did not know
[17:47] <grawity> waga: sudo mkfs.vfat -F12 /dev/fd0
[17:47] <unoobtu> grawity so what's the alternative? a global fixed var?
[17:47] <grawity> unoobtu: What does the script do?
[17:48] <waga> mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing reserved sector
[17:48] <unoobtu> grawity i got many separated scripts that works on a url, i want to set the url only in 1 place
[17:49] <homovitruvius> NEED HELP: I have no outgoing mail on Ubuntu 9.04. I removed my firewall machine/routers and I now go directly to the ADSL modem. Can do pretty much everything on the net, _except_ telnet somehost 25. I don't think I've a firewall on this machine (ufw is inactive). Any ideas? Everything was working yesterday.
[17:49] <unoobtu> grawity *without setting a fixed environment variable possibly
[17:49] <waga> it worked
[17:50] <stefg> unoobtu: environment variable, or a master script that sets the variable and *sources* the (sub-) scripts
[17:51] <unoobtu> stefg there's a way to import a script into another?
[17:52] <grawity> unoobtu: Try the 'source' command.
[17:52] <stefg> unoobtu: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[17:52] <unoobtu> grawity ok thx
[17:52] <unoobtu> stefg thx i'll take a look
[17:53] <stefg> unoobtu: BTW... what you actually want is functions that you can pass parameters to
[17:53] <grant_> i have ub 8,40  but dont work very well
[17:53] <dios_mio> how do i upgrade pidgin?
[17:53] <Baba_B00ie> what telnet clients are available to linux ? i was looking for something to do old fashioned bbs's with. that supports ascii, extended ascii and color blocks
[17:54] <mecha-streisand> anyone have any clues why my onboard gigabit network card is maxing out at 1MB/s?
[17:54] <stefg> !telnet | Baba_B00ie
[17:54] <unoobtu> stefg hmmm.. not exactly.. i want just to call one of the X scripts that uses a fixed variable..
[17:54] <kisuke> stumpie http://prasys.co.cc/2009/09/install-snow-leopard-on-a-pcs-the-easy-way/
[17:54] <musschrott> hi, i'm planning to install winxp and ubuntu (or kubuntu) as a dual boot system. does anybody know a good tutorial/walkthrough for that?
[17:54] <grawity> stefg: Tell that to BBS owners.
[17:54] <unoobtu> stefg that's no point passing to each script the same val
[17:54] <erUSUL> !dualboot | musschrott
[17:54] <grawity> Baba_B00ie: 'telnet' is the most popular one.
[17:55] <musschrott> thx a bunch, ubotto
[17:55] <Baba_B00ie> stefg, why isn't telnet safe? because it doesn't encrypt user/pass ? i could care less man. it's for bbs's not doing remote admins
[17:55] <grawity> Baba_B00ie: But in reality, it's not the telnet client that contains ANSI/color/whatever support... It's the terminal emulator that does. (xterm, gnome-terminal, and such.) The telnet program just passes all data.
[17:55] <stefg> unoobtu: so you do not call the script (i.e. start it in its own process), but you source it (in the same process context)
[17:55] <dao> is thre a linux mint cannel?
[17:56] <erUSUL> !mint > dao
[17:56] <Baba_B00ie> grawity, 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 ascii
[17:56] <stefg> Baba_B00ie: telnet is a builtin
[17:56] <biznock09> I have a mini dell and need to connect an external modem any thoughts the drivers are for windows
[17:56] <unoobtu> stefg yes it works now :-)
[17:56] <grawity> stefg: It's not (it does come with a default install though)
[17:56] <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] <nOStahl> i had a power outage on ext4 setup cant boot the computer now. what do i do
[17:56] <erUSUL> Baba_B00ie: maybe MUD clients are more featurefull for normal telenet too ?
[17:57] <Baba_B00ie> grawity, can you suggest how to get gnome-term  to properly display ansi, ascii exended ascii ?
[17:57] <TheCheeze> Ido_, open up the symantec package manager and seach for SAMBA
[17:57] <grawity> TheCheeze: Synaptic*
[17:57] <grawity> Ido_: 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] <TheCheeze> grawity, ty
[17:58] <kisuke> !mint >kisuke
[17:58] <ZykoticK9> Baba_B00ie, qterm is a BBS client - not sure if it supports telnet BBS though - but you could give it a shot
[17:58] <zmax> oi
[17:58] <grawity> Ido_: Also, Ubuntu is Debian-based, so if there's no version for Ubuntu, the Debian packages usually work.
[17:59] <Baba_B00ie> ZykoticK9, 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 progress
[17:59] <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] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: 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] <biznock09> can anyone help with trying to get an external modem to work when the drivers are designed for windows
[17:59] <erUSUL> biznock09: dial up modem ? usb or serial ?
[18:00] <biznock09> dial
[18:00] <stefg> !dialup | bizn
[18:00] <biznock09> yeah
[18:00] <grawity> Ido_: 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] <erUSUL> biznock09: USB or serial port ?
[18:00] <biznock09> usb
[18:00] <ZykoticK9> Baba_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] <stefg> biznock09: forget about the wondows drivers. you can't use them
[18:00] <biznock09> i figured
[18:01] <Ido_> grawity: Yeah, sorry, I confused.
[18:01] <Ido_> Anyways, thanks a lot. This package-based system looks useful.
[18:01] <Baba_B00ie> ZykoticK9, heck ya man thanks
[18:01] <erUSUL> biznock09: 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 screen
[18:01] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: google  for  ext4 partition repair, you may be able to run fschk on it
[18:01] <erUSUL> !paste | biznock09
[18:02] <albert> ubuntu italian what is the chan?
[18:02] <erUSUL> !it | albert
[18:02] <albert> please.
[18:02] <grawity> !it | albert
[18:03] <albert> thanks
[18:03] <biznock09> so i just put that line in the terminal and thats it
[18:03] <biznock09> ?
[18:03] <erUSUL> biznock09: press enter
[18:03] <paipimenta> hey peeps, I just used pvmove and pvresize to shrink my lvm partition that ubuntu is on
[18:03] <biznock09> ok
[18:04] <phaer> hi. I am using thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on Ubuntu 9.04. And after i created a new account it tells me "3 new messages" in the statusbar, but i cant see those messages. there are no new mails in the local folders and there are no new folders. any ideas?
[18:04] <albert> i have one problem with my desktop
[18:04] <albert> i remove cairo-dock
[18:04] <erUSUL> biznock09: you will se 10 lines of the system log. then lpug the modem more lines will appear
[18:04] <paipimenta> now I need to Create an NTFS partition for windows (using fdisk or whatever tool you are familiar with)
[18:04] <albert> and after reboot
[18:04] <paipimenta> how do I do that?
[18:04] <albert> i have black screen
[18:04] <albert> why?
[18:04] <paipimenta> phaer: pop? imap?
[18:05] <grawity> paipimenta: mkfs.ntfs from ntfsprogs, I think.
[18:05] <ZykoticK9> albert, try to keep your posts on one line
[18:05] <phaer> paipimenta: oh sorry, pop.
[18:05] <albert> ZykoticK9, ok :D
[18:05] <erUSUL> paipimenta: i do not think windows can mount a  lvm volume/parition
[18:05] <paipimenta> grawity: can I do that while online on /  ?
[18:05] <albert> i remove cairo-dock and after reboot i have black screen but with mouse. why?
[18:05] <biznock09> erusul: nothing happend
[18:06] <grawity> erUSUL: It cannot.
[18:06] <paipimenta> erUSUL: I shrank my other partitions/lv/pv so that I can create a non-LVM for windows
[18:06] <dorne> never mind, dumb luck lead me to press backspace to disable the keys in gnome-terminal. thanks.
[18:06] <grawity> paipimenta: Of course. mkfs only affects that specific partition you run it on.
[18:06] <erUSUL> biznock09: o.0! nothing when you plug the modem ?
[18:06] <dorne> :D
[18:06] <erUSUL> paipimenta: ok
[18:06] <paipimenta> good... I spent all night in damn busybox
[18:06] <biznock09> erUSUL: no nothing when i put the line in
[18:06] <fccf> biznock09: correcting erUSUL ... it is ... tail -f /var/log/messages
[18:06] <quantum> grawity, (sorry for the delay) i can send myself an email from the inside
[18:07] <grawity> quantum: And from the outside?
[18:07] <paipimenta> fell asleep during my biggest pvmove
[18:07] <quantum> but not from gmail to the mail server...
[18:07] <erUSUL> fccf: « man tailf »
[18:07] <phaer> paipimenta, no ideas?
[18:07] <grawity> quantum: Does the log say anything about gmail.com?
[18:08] <paipimenta> what kind of email acct is it?
[18:08] <paipimenta> hotmail? gmail? yahoo? other?
[18:08] <quantum> grawity,  /var/mail.log right?
[18:08] <biznock09> fccf
[18:08] <biznock09> fccf still nothing
[18:08] <grawity> paipimenta: Neither, a separate mail server.
[18:08] <alabd> good day everyone ,what is seehorse daemon ?
[18:08] <grawity> quantum: /var/log/mail.log
[18:08] <wrapster> what are APT alternatives?
[18:08] <paipimenta> I've had bad experience losing messages on a webmail server because POP on a mail client took it off permanently
[18:08] <paipimenta> that way, another mail client didn't get it
[18:08] <fccf> erUSUL: I learn something new everyday
[18:09] <unoobtu> oookk another little question O:-)
[18:09] <grawity> paipimenta: Meh, ignore the last one
[18:09] <erUSUL> biznock09: what is the model name of the modem? have you googled it ?
[18:09] <alabd> good day everyone ,what is seahorse daemon ?
[18:09] <wrapster> is there anything known like that.. and what do they do.. Can anyone let me know where i can find docs on it?
[18:09] <unoobtu> i want to pass acpi -V result to a function urlEncode
[18:09] <erUSUL> fccf: like everyone else here ;P that's the point
[18:09] <kisuke> alabd seahorse is the gnome keyring where wireless network passwords and PGP/ ssh keys are storedare stord
[18:09] <paipimenta> I use evolution, sorry
[18:09] <quantum> Sep 30 19:10:01 quantum postfix/smtpd[15565]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] <-- could this be it, that it listens to the loopback?
[18:09] <grawity> alabd: seahorse-daemon is the passphrase caching agent used by GNOME.
[18:09] <erUSUL> alabd: seahorse manages your encryption keys in gnome
[18:09] <grawity> kisuke: Not exactly. gnome-keyring is a separate process.
[18:09] <biznock09> erUSUL: rdo2-d400
[18:10] <unoobtu> i tried with urlEncode `acpi -V` but now i got to concat the returned string with another
[18:10] <quantum> grawity, Sep 30 19:10:01 quantum postfix/smtpd[15565]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] <-- could this be it, that it listens to the loopback?
[18:10] <fccf> wrapster: what are you trying to do??
[18:10] <grawity> quantum: No, it should listen on all interfaces ([::] or 0.0.0.0) -- it's just you connecting to localhost.
[18:10] <stefg> biznock09: get around to d/l ScanModem and run it. it will tell you anything you need to know
[18:10] <biznock09> erUSUL: nothing happens when i do that line
[18:10] <alabd> thanks
[18:10] <grawity> quantum: Is the mail server accessible from the outside Internet? Can you PM me its address?
[18:10] <quantum> grawity, nothing about gmail
[18:10] <quantum> PM?
[18:10] <wrapster> needed to modify the jdk pkg to add a few things.. i was told to look at what APT alternatives are!!!
[18:10] <wrapster> thats all
[18:10] <grawity> (PM = 'private message')
[18:11] <wrapster> fccf: what could that be?
[18:11] <digilord> Where does Ubuntu store spelling corrections that you add in an application like gedit?
[18:11] <kisuke> grawity read *buntu uses seahorse (ubuntu.com been a while) and my keying said it was seahorse
[18:11] <biznock09> stefg: what is d/l can i get that from add/remove
[18:11] <stefg> biznock09: please see the dialup howto
[18:11] <quantum> grawity, i can email you ...
[18:12] <chmac> I have fuse-utils installed. Any idea why `modprobe -l fuse` returns nothing?
[18:12] <stefg> !dialup | biznock09
[18:12] <quantum> than you can have the whole header...
[18:12] <ZykoticK9> biznock09, d/l usually means Download
[18:12] <guntbert> biznock09: d/l is "short" for download :-)
[18:12] <unoobtu> ok, the clean question is, how to make that work: curl "$WEB_ROOT?data=" urlEncode `acpi -V`
[18:12] <grawity> quantum: Okay, try.
[18:12] <fccf> wrapster: what are you trying to add to the JDK, there might be an alternative .deb package that includes the Java Libraries you are looking for
[18:12] <erUSUL> biznock09: i do not find any relevant on google... seems that you are out of luck...
[18:12] <erUSUL> biznock09: does it appear if you do « lsusb » on a terminal ?
[18:12] <wrapster> fccf: sorry got cut out..
[18:12] <nOStahl> http://pastie.org/636940   when i try to repair my ext4 system thats what i get
[18:12] <nOStahl> any ideas
[18:13] <fccf> wrapster: what are you trying to add to the JDK, there might be an alternative .deb package that includes the Java Libraries you are looking for
[18:13] <wrapster> fccf: im want to create a few symlinks to /usr/java for my purposes...
[18:13] <llutz> chmac: it's fix in kernel, no module
[18:13] <chmac> llutz: Oh, ok, thanks. Sounds like the issue is in vmware then... :-(
[18:14] <tdn> How do I open a video streaming URL like this: mms://wms.dr.dk/nas01/auto/cms/Resources/dr.dk/Nyheder/2009/09/13f9ee91-c9eb-472a-9d9c-da2b3e12b3d0/3519661_lbak_KONTANT29092009@169.wmv ?
[18:14] <unoobtu> grawity how to make that work: curl "$WEB_ROOT?data=" urlEncode `acpi -V`
[18:14] <llutz> chmac: grep -i fuse /boot/config-2.6.28-15-generic
[18:14] <wrapster> and why is /usr/bin/javac -> /etc/alternatives/javac done?
[18:14] <llutz> chmac:or even:  grep -i fuse /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[18:14] <unoobtu> grawity the problem for me is how to concat the function result to the rest..
[18:14] <wrapster> for all java* files?
[18:14] <tdn> How do I *save* a streaming video URL like this one: mms://wms.dr.dk/nas01/auto/cms/Resources/dr.dk/Nyheder/2009/09/13f9ee91-c9eb-472a-9d9c-da2b3e12b3d0/3519661_lbak_KONTANT29092009@169.wmv?
[18:14] <erUSUL> wrapster: becouse ubuntu offers more than one java compiler/jdk
[18:15] <digilord> tdn: Use VLC
[18:15] <erUSUL> wrapster: there gcj (gnu gcc) openjdk and sun's java jdk for a start
[18:15] <chmac> llutz: Thanks, fuse is enabled I think, says "CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y"
[18:15] <biznock09> erUSUL: bus info came up
[18:15] <erUSUL> there is*
[18:15] <biznock09> erUSUL: but when i plugged the modem in nothing
[18:15] <erUSUL> biznock09: is something related to the modem in there?
[18:15] <llutz> chmac: yes,  a module would have "....FS=m"
[18:16] <grawity> unoobtu: $(urlEncode blah)
[18:16] <unoobtu> grawity great thx!
[18:16] <chmac> llutz: Ok, gotcha, I'll try getting the latest version of vmware, see if that helps, thanks
[18:16] <wrapster> erUSUL: i need to handle the SUN jdk
[18:16] <biznock09> erUSUL: doesnt look like it
[18:16] <ZykoticK9> tdn, mplayer can copy streams, see http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-streamcopy.html
[18:16] <nik0z> hey, any Google Wave invites here???
[18:16] <fccf> wrapster: apt really has nothing to do with that ... if you wanted to create a package that has those symlinks, it would be a matter of packaging symlinks, .. you can get help with packaging in #ubuntu-motu
[18:17] <paolino> hi, is there anything more than ip forwarding I should set on in my box which is not a server edition , to use iptables to do routing ?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> !ot | nik0z
[18:18] <wrapster> fccf:provide symlinks to /usr/java/
[18:18] <wrapster>                 as the default path is in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun.
[18:18] <wrapster> fccf: that exactly what i want to do.. but was told to look at APT alternatives..
[18:19] <wrapster> fccf: what are these alternatives?
[18:19] <wrapster> is it something like aptitude as opposed to apt?
[18:19] <paolino> from wireshark I'm receiving packets on my LAN interface but it seems it's not forwarding them on the WAN one
[18:20] <tdn> ZykoticK9, ok.
[18:21] <fccf> wrapster: aptitude is a text-mode front end for apt ... like synaptic in the GUI
[18:22] <fccf> wrapster: reccommend reading 'man ln'
[18:22] <digilord> Where does Ubuntu store spelling corrections that you add in an application like gedit?
[18:22] <Xoop> How do i remove something from my system isnt it (sudo apt-get autoremove programname)
[18:23] <digilord> Xoop: sudo apt-get remove appname
[18:24] <iceroot> Xoop: sudo apt-get remove paketname  for removing the paket or sudo apt-get purge paketname   for removing the paket and its config
[18:25] <Xoop> I lost apache2.conf in the /etc/apache2 dir and i cant seem to remove or get it back
[18:25] <iceroot> Xoop: in old ubuntu-versions its sudo apt-get remove --purge paketname instead of purge paketname
[18:25] <Pici> iceroot: fyi, they're called packages, not pakets
[18:25] <t0s> can someone help me create a partition to install windows 7? im trying to dual boot with ubuntu. not sure how to do it the way i have my partitions setup cuz i think windows 7 uses 2 paritions this is what my paritions look like now http://i34.tinypic.com/rjpr1y.png
[18:26] <choreo> LInux vs windows, which is which
[18:26] <iceroot> Pici: ok...
[18:26] <Xoop> For some reason when i sudo apt-get remove apache2, apache2 is still there
[18:27] <Xoop> Although it says it uninstalled it and removed it from my system
[18:27] <iceroot> Xoop: sudo dpkg-reconfigure apache2  to get the defaults
[18:27] <Xoop> It says its not installed
[18:27] <Xoop> but it is
[18:27] <iceroot> Xoop: what is still there? /etc/apache2/ or the package?
[18:27] <genii> Xoop: sudo apt-get remove --purge whatever
[18:28] <Xoop> The dir is there with all the files except for apache2.conf
[18:28] <choreo> how can i install windows application to my ubuntu
[18:28] <iceroot> Xoop: please read what i have say about remove and purge
[18:28] <grawity> !wine | choreo
[18:29] <choreo> what is wine
[18:29] <grawity> choreo: It's a Linux program that allows you to use Windows programs on Linux.
[18:29] <genii> !wine | choreo
[18:29] <choreo> is it from the terminal
[18:30] <iceroot> choreo: please read what ubottu gave you and see also the link
[18:30] <unoobtu> why can't i return that from a function? return `acpi -V | perl -MURI::Escape -lne 'print uri_escape($_)'`
[18:31] <grawity> unoobtu: In bash, a return value can only be an integer.
[18:31] <grawity> unoobtu: But you can set variables inside functionsa.
[18:31] <unoobtu> grawity oh my frog!
[18:31] <chattta> Hi, I'm trying to make audio cd from a few mp3s, but Brasero (burner prog) says: "Make sure the appropriate codec is installed"
[18:31] <dbugger> Hey guys
[18:31] <Pici> Xoop: apache2 is a metapackage, you'll need to use apt-get autoremove to remove the packages it depended on.
[18:31] <dbugger> Is there a way that videos show properly evenwhen compiz is being used?
[18:31] <stefg> !codec | chattta
[18:31] <unoobtu> grawity oook thx -__+
[18:32] <chattta> what package should i add?      also, dvd's wont play.  i've already added "GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin"
[18:32] <soreau> dbugger: Depends on which graphics driver
[18:32] <pancake> how can I insert a kernel module which is from the same kernel version but from not the ubuntu one?
[18:32] <pancake> Im getting "disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
[18:32] <stefg> !medibuntu | chattta
[18:32] <dbugger> soreau, Im using ATI
[18:33] <choreo> ok tnx a lot its work....
[18:33] <AgentArmstrong> howdy
[18:34] <soreau> dbugger: There are two drivers for ati cards. With the proprietary one, video will be slow and poor quality
[18:34] <choreo> how about network, how to share my drive(s) to other pc connected to my pc
[18:34] <madxmas> hi
[18:34] <unoobtu> grawity now inside the function i do: urlEncodeRES=`$1 | perl -MURI::Escape -lne 'print uri_escape($_)'` still failing..
[18:34] <choreo> how about network, how to share my drive(s) to other pc connected to my pc
[18:34] <digilord> Neve rmind I found it
[18:34] <grawity> unoobtu: You forgot an echo.
[18:35] <madxmas> !list
[18:35] <Freku> type howto ubuuntu in youtube and see movies about sharing drives
[18:35] <grawity> unoobtu: And so it's trying to execute $1 (well, the contents of it) as a command.
[18:35] <Niklas_B> Heard that Ubuntu 10 was announced... Any release date of Beta?
[18:35] <dbugger> soreau, Well, obviously I want the good quality and speed. (I hope that's the one im using). So can I fix the compiz issue?
[18:35] <unoobtu> grawity ok.. thx for the patience
[18:35] <zvacet> !samba | choreo
[18:35] <grawity> unoobtu: urlEncodeRES="$(echo "$@" | perl -Mblahblah)"
[18:35] <stefg> !nfs | choreo
[18:35] <soreau> dbugger: Which graphics driver are you using and which model card
[18:36] <fccf> digilord: where? I'd like to know
[18:36] <dbugger> ATI radeon 200M
[18:36] <dbugger> I guess im not using the propietary, since it worked off the box
[18:36] <digilord> fccf: .enchant/en.dic
[18:37] <digilord> fccf: .config/.enchant/en.dic
[18:37] <digilord> Sorry
[18:37] <deviL_night> !ubuntu
[18:38] <unoobtu> grawity great :) i am passing a string to execute, so i passed "acpi -V" to func, used inside `$1 | perl blablabla`
[18:38] <erk_> gets
[18:38] <unoobtu> grawity you're safe for now O:-)
[18:38] <soreau> ! who | dbugger
[18:39] <dbugger> soreau, sorry :)
[18:39] <choreo> ok thanks a lot
[18:39] <soreau> dbugger: What does glxinfo|grep renderer say?
[18:40] <dbugger> MESA
[18:40] <dbugger> soreau, but dont worry. I fixed it right now with VLC :)
[18:40] <sczgilae> anybody knows if normal users can mount in the konsola an shared network directory ?
[18:40] <grawity> sczgilae: Only a GVFS mount. Are you using GNOME?
[18:40] <grawity> sczgilae: gvfs-mount smb://user@host/share/
[18:40] <pancake> is there a way to force the module insertion of different version?
[18:41] <pancake> i dunno what's the ubuntu kernel checking
[18:41] <Xoop> It keeps saying apache2 is not installed so it cannot be removed, but it is clearly still installed
[18:41] <sczgilae> grawity: im using kubuntu. i see that by dolphin i dont have problems but in the konsola yes
[18:41] <soreau> dbugger: With the open driver you always want to use xv vo driver for your player. For totem, set it in gstreamer-properties. For vlc, set it in vlc prefs. for mplayer, its slightly more complicated taking info from xvinfo
[18:41] <ChogyDan> Xoop: is the apache process still running?
[18:42] <soreau> ugh
[18:42] <Pici> Xoop: Did you see the advice that I gave you a little bit ago?
[18:42] <Xoop> The process isnt there
[18:42] <hghgd> can i run both bootchart and boot graph at the same boot?
[18:43] <Xoop> I tried that to Pici
[18:43] <Pici> Xoop: You may also want to take a look at the output of: dpgk -l | grep apache
[18:43] <Pici> Xoop: sorry, dpkg -l | grep apache

[18:49] <markl__> sound support in karmic seems to be broken, whenever a skype noise plays, it pauses rhythmbox until the skype noise is done
[18:49] <markl__> is that a bug or a feature?

[18:51] <kielanmatt_> so it shows up an error at login
[18:51] <markl__> ^mNotIntelligent: yeah i would think so but maybe there isn't a way to play more than 1 sound at a time with this driver or something goofy
[18:51] <kielanmatt_> well cause It fucks up my overclock
[18:51] <Bof> It seems that X11 use a lot of cpu, does anyone know how to check and possibly fix that ?
[18:51] <^mNotIntelligent> markl__, you can check that out in launchpad/ #ubuntu+1
[18:51] <twig11> Any ideas about why APTonCD would use up all my system memory and then crash while doing the initial scan after launching? I'm running Jaunty on an old machine with a PentiumIII processor and 512Mb RAM.

[18:53] <kielanmatt_> would i go on about purging cpu scaling
[18:53] <kielanmatt_> ?
[18:53] <disappearedng> thx
[18:53] <twig11> ^mNotIntelligent: I know but it runs everything else I'm using it for, and I wouldn't think AptonCD would need that much.
[18:54] <Armageddon> how do i so a physical check for my hard drives ?
[18:54] <shai> Does anyone know how I can enforce the larger DPI ( I set it to 120 instead of 96 ) on X apps I started over SSH X11 Forwarding ?
[18:54] <strangelove_> hi, i have a problem with starting desktop, i just logged out 2 hours ago, and now when i try to turn on computer i can see ubuntu progress bar and then - only black screen with my cursor (i have autologin on) what might be wrong?
[18:54] <^mNotIntelligent> twig11, yep,,,make sure you dont have anything running in the background consuming memory
[18:54] <kielanmatt_> cmon?
[18:54] <kielanmatt_> cpu freq scaling
[18:54] <kielanmatt_> how to get rid of it?
[18:55] <^mNotIntelligent> !patience | kielanmatt_
[18:55] <shai> Armageddon, You can start from a live CD and run fsck (depending on your filesystem type)
[18:55] <NUKER> how can i connect to gprs
[18:55] <Armageddon> shai, already have ubuntu :) why do I need to start it from a livecd ?
[18:56] <jigspan> hi anyone help me?
[18:56] <twig11> ^mNotIntelligent: I don't. Background operations are only using a bit over 100Mb. What app needs 400Mb RAM? Not APTonCD I'm pretty sure.
[18:56] <kielanmatt_> i unistalled all my cpufreq packages
[18:56] <kielanmatt_> what is wrong
[18:56] <kielanmatt_> ?
[18:56] <Bof> I looked to my xor.conf file and it is empty... is there a problem with my configuration?
[18:56] <shai> Armageddon, I don't think you can do a physical filesystem check without one ...
[18:56] <fccf> t0s: I'd shrink sda7 approiately ... and create a new NTFS partition at sda8 making it bootable ... this will temporairly break ubuntu .... then boot with live CD ... make sda1 bootable again and follow instruction at !dualboot to add the windows lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:56] <orwell> how to install from USB ?
[18:56] <jigspan> shai: can u help me?
[18:56] <fccf> !dualboot > t0s
[18:57] <shai> Armageddon, I suppose you can schedule a filesystem check on next reboot though...
[18:57] <^mNotIntelligent> twig11, yep.... i do think the same....no idea what else could be the issue :-(
[18:57] <shai> jigspan, You're gonna need to ask something for people to help you...
[18:57] <jigspan> yes
[18:57] <fccf> !anyone | jigspan
[18:58] <^mNotIntelligent> jigspan, go ahead
[18:58] <jigspan> ofcource
[18:58] <twig11> ^mNotIntelligent: Thanks for the suggestion anyhow. :-)
[18:58] <^mNotIntelligent> twig11, no probs :-)

[18:58] <bin_strout> Anyone having a similar problem : S?
[18:58] <shai> Does anyone know how I can enforce the larger DPI ( I set it to 120 instead of 96 ) on X apps I started over SSH X11 Forwarding ? The DPI set on my XDM works great, but those menus are just way to small on the apps I start via SSH ...
[18:59] <jigspan> can anyone tell me how to configure clamavd
[19:00] <^mNotIntelligent> !patience | jigspan
[19:00] <Bof> I looked to my xor.conf file and it is empty... is there a problem with my configuration?
[19:00] <jigspan> what do u mean?
[19:00] <twig11> Weird problem with APTonCD: as soon as I launch it and it begins the initial package scan, it begins sucking ever-increasing amounts of RAM until it uses up all 400MB I have free. Then, before the scan is finished, it crashes. What could be the problem?
[19:00] <MenZa> I hope you mean xorg.conf, Bof
[19:01] <Bof> Yes MenZa
[19:01] <MenZa> Also, Bof, please refrain from repeating yourself too often.

[19:01] <Bof> Ok... but I asked cause X11 takes a lot of cpu...I try to find why?

[19:02] <jigspan> fccf, no i have just installed it and need to work it
[19:03] <mgv2> llutz, is that a commant or i just burn over again?
[19:03] <walkie_> hello, how to save iptables and ip6tables  rules after reboot in ubuntu?
[19:04] <llutz> mgv2: usually you just overwrite them, but you can force "formatting" with that command
[19:04] <fabio_> ma qualcuno parla italiano?
[19:04] <twig11> My fresh installation of APTonCD consumes all available memory (about 400Mb) and crashes before even completing the initial package scan. What's wrong? I'm running Jaunty on on older machine with a Pentium III processor and 512 Mb Ram.

[19:09] <walkie_> genii, thanks
[19:09] <Niklas_B> NuuBuntu, Login as root in the application
[19:09] <NuuBuntu> Niklas_B how do I do that?
[19:10] <Niklas_B> Should be an "unlock" button there
[19:10] <grawity> NuuBuntu: I guess Evolution is simply set to create plain text emails.
[19:10] <genii> Gah, "log in as root"
[19:10]  * genii shivers
[19:10] <jimcooncat> NuuBuntu: perhaps you're not composing that email in HTML, but only as plain text
[19:10] <grawity> Niklas_B: How the hell is inserting links related to root?
[19:10] <trijntje> Niklas_B, why should NuuBuntu start evolution as root?
[19:10] <D-rew> So, I'm having a helluva time getting nvidia-190 drivers to work for me.
[19:10] <sweetde> hi all, does anyone know how to increase the volume of an audio file (either mpg wav or ogg) in CLI (so I can use it in a script)?
[19:11] <D-rew> I've tried the Nvidia installer, the PPA repository, everything. Every time, I get errors with the module failing to load when I restart X.

[19:11] <D-rew> ChogyDan, You recommend upgrading to Karmic for nvidia-190?

[19:11] <pantung> just downloaded ubuntustudio.iso

[19:12] <LjL> pantung: ISOs are not installation files, they're CD images.
[19:12] <ChogyDan> D-rew: yeah, that's where they are putting it.  Karmic still isn't out though
[19:12] <Guest50266> ath9k driver drops the connection pretty much every minute - is there a known workaround?
[19:12] <cloodangel> qualcuno parla italiano
[19:12] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, What type?
[19:12] <LjL> !it | cloodangel
[19:12] <D-rew> ChogyDan, It comes out the 20th, right?
[19:12] <Niklas_B> Chill out trinjtje, i missread hes Question.
[19:12] <cyberix> My karmic is lacking the small envelope that is used for opening the Instant Messenger. How do I get the envelope?
[19:12] <SoldierNIX> D-rew I have ircd-irc2 running fine. I am trying to figure out how to get ops on my channels
[19:12] <pantung> LjL, y i know but is it posible to install it without burning it?
[19:13] <Pici> cyberix : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[19:13] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, Ops, like services? NickServ, Chanserv, etc?
[19:13] <trijntje> Niklas_B, dont advice people to start applications as root without thinking twice
[19:13] <sczgilae> anybody knows if normal users can mount in the konsola an shared network directory ?
[19:13] <ChogyDan> D-rew: 29th
[19:13] <sassyn> hi all
[19:13] <LjL> pantung: since it's a whole operating system (ubuntu studio, that is), i'd say, hardly.
[19:13] <D-rew> Oh, I see.
[19:13] <cyberix> Pici: ok.
[19:13] <sassyn> do u know if 9.10 will support xen?
[19:13] <Pici> sassyn : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[19:13] <D-rew> ChogyDan, Whats the deal with Windows 7 getting released before Karmic?! lol, jk
[19:13] <LjL> pantung: to install an operating system such as ubuntu or ubuntustudio, you need to boot the whole system from its cd.
[19:13] <SoldierNIX> D-rew, yeah, how do I get ops on a channel? This server is being used on a lan for students. But I cant figure out how to get ops.
[19:14] <sweetde> hi all, does anyone know how to increase the volume of an audio file (either mpg wav or ogg) in CLI (so I can use it in a script)?
[19:14] <sassyn> pici 10x
[19:14] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, IRC services, like NickServ, etc are usually supplied with a separate daemon.
[19:14] <SoldierNIX> D-rew, so how do i setup and use NickServ?
[19:14] <LjL> !info normalize-audio | sweetde
[19:15] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, It's been awhile, let me do some looking.
[19:15] <pantung> LjL, lawl thought studio just was a music program :P
[19:15] <PovAddict> is KDE4 usable yet? I'm stuck on Kubuntu 8.04 just to stay in KDE3 :/
[19:15] <SoldierNIX> D-rew thanks, ill hit up google too
[19:15] <LjL> !ubuntustudio | pantung
[19:15] <grawity> PovAddict: 4.3 is very usable.
[19:16] <olmari> Hello
[19:16] <LjL> pantung: you can install all the ubuntustudio stuff on a normal ubuntu system without any iso being involved, "sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop"
[19:16] <AaDi> hi guys..i want install gnome-shell on my ubuntu 9.04...any help plz ?
[19:16] <genii> !hi | olmari
[19:16] <sweetde> LjL thanks, but I've tried it with soundconverter, and it did nothing.  I think it just makes sure all the file plays at about the same volume.  I'd like to increase that volume uniformily (sp?)
[19:16] <ChogyDan> AaDi: did you try the directions?
[19:16] <fccf> sweetde: another option would be the sox/rec/play with -v option for changing the volume of the file
[19:16] <olmari> A most newbied question I assume... I have a deb package downloaded, how I can install it so that I'm installing depencies too
[19:16] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IRC_services
[19:16] <AaDi> ChogyDan, what does mean that ?
[19:16] <D-rew> That should get you started.
[19:16] <LjL> sweetde: increasing the volume without regard to normalization will result in clipping audio. do you want that?
[19:17] <fccf> sweetde: see man sox and rec -h
[19:17] <sfuentes> anyone know how to upgrade a specific package?
[19:17] <sfuentes> with the command line?
[19:17] <alesan> hi I have a big image what is a good program to print it on multiple sheets (say 2x2 or 4x4)?
[19:17] <Flannel> sfuentes: sudo apt-get install package
[19:17] <ChogyDan> AaDi: the website for gnome-shell has directions.  I don't think there are formal ubuntu packages
[19:17] <fccf> sweetde: after installing sox
[19:17] <Guest50266> does anyone know how to get ath9x to work without dropping connections in 9.04?
[19:17] <AaDi> sudp apt-get update | sfuentes
[19:17] <sfuentes> Flannel: but I downloaded a newer .deb file
[19:17] <AaDi> sudp apt-get update package_name | sfuentes
[19:17] <AaDi> !sudo apt-get update package_name | sfuentes
[19:17] <ChogyDan> Guest50266: install linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic
[19:18] <jimcooncat> sfuentes: sudo dpkg -i filename
[19:18] <sfuentes> jimcooncat: thanks
[19:18] <AaDi> ChogyDan, Ok i gotta check that
[19:18] <olmari> dpkg -i package.deb shows loong list of depencies unmet, I'd like just to get those installed aswell, in CLI that is
[19:18] <jimcooncat> sfuentes: you will get errors for any unmet dependencies
[19:18] <Guest50266> ChogyDan: what is that?
[19:18] <SoldierNIX> D-rew, thanks for the link, is there a way to get ops on an irc server without nickserv or any such service?
[19:18] <ChogyDan> Guest50266: updated drivers
[19:18] <sweetde> LjL hmm, I didn't know it would clip if I increased the whole thing.  maybe I should rethink.  but that sox looks interesting, thanks so much for giving me something to test!
[19:18] <sweetde> fccf thanks!
[19:19] <Guest50266> ChogyDan: do i need backports in my sources.list??
[19:19] <Flannel> olmari: gdebi will install dependencies.
[19:19] <ChogyDan> Guest50266: I don't think so
[19:19] <LjL> sweetde, you cn only increase the volume of a digital audio file up to a maximum point, after which it clips. that's the purpose of normalization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)#Digital_clipping
[19:19] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, If you have the appropriate permissions in relation to the IRCd, you can use /mode +o <nick>
[19:20] <kyle__> whats the OS emulator called
[19:20] <D-rew> This will give that nick name the Operator mode.
[19:20] <MenZa> kyle__: er, a virtual machine?
[19:20] <fearful> kyle__, virtual box?
[19:20] <AaDi> guys..i want update my gnome to version 2.28
[19:21] <olmari> Flannel: I'm CLI only
[19:21] <ChogyDan> AaDi: that will be released with Karmic
[19:21] <Flannel> olmari: gdebi will work on the command line
[19:21] <kyle__> yes thank you
[19:21] <D-rew> ChogyDan, It seems like a big fuss to upgrade, but I guess I really want nvidia-190, so I can play Half-Life 2 in Wine and have it look SWEET!
[19:21] <AaDi> !Karmic
[19:21] <AaDi> !karmic
[19:21] <MenZa> D-rew: I had no issues ages ago.
[19:21] <D-rew> Wait, Karmic WILL break?
[19:21] <MenZa> D-rew: Shouldn't need nvidia-190 for that.
[19:21] <D-rew> As in, inevitably?
[19:22] <Ridders> hey does anyone know if there are linux drivers now for a xfx ati hd 5870 graphics card?
[19:22] <MenZa> D-rew: It will break in its current stage, yes.
[19:22] <D-rew> Oh.
[19:22] <sweetde> LjL if you're interested, my project is this: record satellite radio channels from sat/tivo, convert them (tivo)->(win)->.tivo->.mpg->(linux)->.wav->.ogg->(AndroidG1)->(my car).  I've done it all, but it just plays way too softly, even compared to my mp3's.  So since the mp3s play much more loudly, I think I have room to increase volume before it starts clipping
[19:22] <D-rew> Cancel that.
[19:22] <__8472> hi, just wan't to ask, how is it with flash support in google earth 5.1.* (beta) when using linux? i can't find any official information about it. i only found some info about supporting windows and mac. but what about us. does it work for somebody, or we've to wait up they make this flash support for linux?
[19:22] <D-rew> Meh, looks like I'll stick with nvidia-180 until release.
[19:23] <ChogyDan> D-rew: actually, I misled you.  It looks like karmic will only have 185
[19:23] <D-rew> Or, until they back-port 190, if that happens.
[19:23] <D-rew> I don't understand why the PPA didn't work...
[19:23] <D-rew> I might lurk the forums.
[19:23] <D-rew> After I restart X, so I can get compiz and awn back

[19:25] <AaDi> netsplit ?
[19:25] <younder> lib
[19:25] <sweetde> aaaaa I doubt it. I had to root my G1 to install "Wifi tether for root users" which is the only program that worked, but it works so beautifully
[19:25] <Cale> __8472: Google Earth works fine here. I'll try upgrading though if you'd like.
[19:25] <fccf> aaaaa: what you want is called tethering ... uses the wifi in the phone as an ad-hoc accesspoint .. using the 3G service
[19:26] <administrator__> hey guys. is there any major difference between 8.04 and 9.04.?
[19:26] <sweetde> aaaaa It doesnt even need to be connected, it makes a limitless Wifi hotspot for you
[19:26] <younder> I need a text login which doen't require root
[19:26] <aaaaa> yeah, i was reading on a site that you can do this without any rooting or anything
[19:26] <aaaaa> using the G2
[19:26] <aaaaa> the htc hero one
[19:26] <younder> Which we don't have
[19:26] <__8472> Cale: works fine? what do you mean? about that flash? and what version of GE do you use?
[19:26] <sweetde> aaaaa link, please :)
[19:27] <Cale> __8472: Flash works fine too.
[19:27] <aaaaa> i don't have internet access
[19:27] <aaaaa> but if you go into google and type "g2 tethering"
[19:27] <aaaaa> it should come upo
[19:27] <younder> BS
[19:27] <Cale> __8472: (but... that's entirely unrelated, isn't it?)
[19:27] <younder> You are taalking to us NOW
[19:27] <joshua__> my screen resolution sucks can anyone help me?
[19:28] <__8472> Cale: what is unrelated?
[19:28] <fccf> aaaaa: this is the app ... http://androidactivity.com/tetherWifi.html .. I have used it and it works on the G1 for sure
[19:28] <seidos> joshua__: what video card?
[19:28] <aaaaa> no, i'm not talking about an app
[19:29] <aaaaa> apparently you can do it on ubuntu without an app
[19:29] <Cale> __8472: Google Earth and Flash.
[19:29] <joshua__> some sis.... 661 I think
[19:29] <chai_> Hi all, I'm trying to compile an older gcc (2.7.2.3). when i do ./configure i get `x86_64-unknown-linux': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized. (i'm on ubuntu 9.04 amd64). how do i compile a 32 bit older gcc?
[19:29] <aaaaa> you literally just plug in the cable and set the option on the menu on the phone
[19:29] <aaaaa> and then it works
[19:29] <AaDi> how to load conky on bootstart ?
[19:29] <younder> aaaaa: shut up!
[19:29] <D-rew> ...I really broke my system, I think.
[19:29] <Cale> __8472: I have Google Earth 5.1 installed. It's working fine after a quick tweak.
[19:29] <seidos> joshua__: don't have experience with some SIS 661 in Linux.  hmmm
[19:29] <D-rew> So, nvidia doesn't work at all, now.
[19:29] <__8472> Cale: well, in this case of GE and flash i dunno how much and how they are binded.
[19:29] <AaDi> guys ...how to load conky on bootstart ?
[19:29] <joshua__> just a sec and i will get the exact card info
[19:29] <oddity> Does anyone know how to use a different verion of gcc temporarily?
[19:30] <__8472> Cale: what tweak you've made?
[19:30] <aaaaa> don't tell me to shut up
[19:30] <aaaaa> this works
[19:30] <younder> D-rew: welcome to the club
[19:30] <__8472> Cale: because for me that flash movies in 5.1.* doesn't work
[19:30] <D-rew> Still the module errors. I figured if I removed all nvidia packages and re-installed with the Hardware Drivers manager, it would work.
[19:30] <younder> aaaaa: shut up!
[19:30] <D-rew> But, Hardware Drivers displays nothing.
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> AaDi, system/preferences/start application - Add button
[19:30] <chai_> oddity: thats what i'm trying to do, compile an older one from source, check ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/ for older sources
[19:30] <AaDi> thanks ZykoticK9
[19:31] <fccf> aaaaa: please go ask your question in #android ... that is really offtopic here
[19:31] <seidos> joshua__: not sure what options there are for that adapter.  have you tried the forums?
[19:31] <ambros> d-rew: do you get command line?
[19:31] <joshua__> seidos, yes
[19:31] <joshua__> here is what the lspci output gives me for video
[19:31] <Cale> __8472: (It installs along with versions of libstdc++ and libgcc_s which are incompatible with Ubuntu somehow. I just renamed those files in the installation directory.)
[19:31] <joshua__>  Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[19:31] <D-rew> ambros, I have the gui, now in low-graphics mode.
[19:31] <chai_> oddity: then rename the compiled gcc to something like gcc-old and use that
[19:31] <ambros> oh oh ok
[19:31] <oddity> chai_: thanks!
[19:31] <seidos> !who | joshua__
[19:32] <joshua__> sorry seidos
[19:32] <seidos> joshua__: do you know about tab complete?
[19:32] <mgv2> does anyone knows of good gui file wiper?
[19:32] <joshua__> seidos, yes
[19:32] <Cale> __8472: Where can I find a flash video in Google Earth? I was unaware that there were any.
[19:32] <D-rew> I don't have my Ubuntu Live-CD, and I don't want to reinstall, anyway...
[19:32] <emydvx> hi
[19:32] <D-rew> I think I'm toasted.
[19:32] <Cale> __8472: Oh, I see, there's a YouTube option now.
[19:32] <seidos> joshua__: do you have sis as the device in your xorg.conf?
[19:33] <SoldierNIX> D-rew i found this explaining how to add an operator to ircd.conf, but how do I login as op? part 6: http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/ircnet/INSTALL-4.html
[19:33] <__8472> Cale: how do you know that they work in 5.1 for you, without previously knowing that there are some? yes, Youtube option
[19:33] <joshua__> seidos, i believe i do, but how do i check for sure?
[19:33] <seidos> joshua__: you had to take a look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:33] <seidos> joshua__: using your favorite your text editor
[19:33] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, I wish I could help you, but I'm in the middle of troubleshooting some of my own screw ups. :<
[19:34] <SoldierNIX> ok
[19:34] <chai_> D-rew, have you tried to delete xorg.conf and restart?
[19:34] <nici> hi ppl
[19:34] <hanshenrik> watching youtube HD movie in XP takes ~17-20% cpu (can pop to ~30 somtimes), whilst watching same movie in hd on ubuntu 9.04 uses ~50-60% cpu  - normal?
[19:34] <prefrontal_> i'm trying to get a cron job to run. i put a file in /etc/cron.d named test_cron with the following contents, and then restarted the cron daemon: 33 12 * * * root mail -s "hello cron" my@me.com
[19:34] <prefrontal_> nothing happened.
[19:34] <__8472> Cale: so, does it work for you? or?
[19:35] <joshua__> seidos, no it does not
[19:35] <erk_> !list
[19:35] <chai_> prefrontal_, try "crontab -e" and editing the file there
[19:35] <prefrontal_> chai_, what's wrong with my approach?
[19:35] <seidos> joshua__: i don't want to recommend you put sis in the device section of your xorg.conf until i find out more.  i was reading this thread:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347451  you aren't alone.
[19:36] <chai_> prefrontal_, i think its because your file test_cron isn't being examined for cron jobs
[19:36] <XeroXenith> hey, i need help converting an mkv with multiple sub and audio tracks to a dvd?
[19:36] <prefrontal_> chai_, but it's in the cron's directory, and I restarted the cron daemon.
[19:36] <prefrontal_> chai_, something else that needs to happen?
[19:37] <fccf> SoldierNIX: section 4.6 shows how to edit ircd.conf to add priv to a particular user ... however you have to register your username with nickserv prior to making yourself an operator
[19:37] <joshua__> seidos, not alone but hopeless...
[19:37] <seidos> joshua__: if you're not alone why would you be hopeless?
[19:37] <joshua__> seidos, good question...
[19:37] <genii> XeroXenith: I'm pretty sure devede will do mkv
[19:38] <seidos> joshua__: it looks like others have gotten it to work, did you check that thread?
[19:38] <joshua__> I am reading through it right now
[19:38] <SoldierNIX> fccf, I am trying to login using an op listen in an O-line in ircd.conf
[19:38] <XeroXenith> genii: im trying it now, it seems to only let me choose one audio track and doesn't see the subs
[19:38] <Cale> __8472: It doesn't play the video in the balloon, but if I click the icon, it will play the video in my web-browser.
[19:38] <chai_> prefrontal_, i figured you have to specify cron to look for your cron files, i'm not sure though... checking now (also curious)
[19:38] <Cale> __8472: It's probably just that they don't have video support in linux yet.
[19:38] <JoeSomebody> hello, say you have 2 windows machines and 1 linux machine, the linux has a data drive which will be shared, what is my best file system choice for that data drive? i want all machines to be able to write to that drive
[19:38] <__8472> Cale: that's what i wanted to know.
[19:39] <grawity> JoeSomebody: Are you sharing it through samba?
[19:39] <__8472> Cale: just wanna be sure it wasn't me
[19:39] <joshua__> seidos, looks like the drivers are installed
[19:39] <fccf> SoldierNIX: where do you see the Listen function?
[19:39] <JoeSomebody> well whatever is easiest, i am new to linux/ubuntu
[19:40] <JoeSomebody> already have ubuntu 9.04 with ext4 on drive 1
[19:40] <SoldierNIX> fccf, what? I dont know the listen function
[19:40] <seidos> joshua__: Look For
[19:40] <XeroXenith> JoeSomebody, NTFS is the native for windows and works with all modern linux distros
[19:40] <seidos> joshua__: "xserver-xorg-video-sis" and "displayconfig-gtk" (this is "System->Administration->Screens and Graphics)
[19:41] <grawity> JoeSomebody: Anyway, if you're sharing it over the network, the filesystem doesn't matter.
[19:41] <JoeSomebody> well someone said i may get errors if i use ntfs
[19:41] <joshua__> seidos, yup it is there
[19:41] <joshua__> seidos, and installed
[19:41] <itsjareds> How do I list what's connected to serial ports similar to 'lsusb'?
[19:41] <seidos> joshua__: if the driver is installed, you should be able to fix your resolution in system > prefs > display
[19:41] <JoeSomebody> •grawity• is that because it is handled properly by each machines' os?
[19:41] <southern_> is there any way to figure out what packages i installed yesterday or is there anyway to go back and get rid of the changes i made? i installed something that made my touchpad stop working
[19:41] <XeroXenith> need help converting an mkv with multiple subs and audio tracks to DVD?
[19:42] <fccf> SoldierNIX: regardless, what you are trying to do requires that you have a nickserv which provides information to chanserv, an unregistered user CANNOT have OP privilidges
[19:42] <grawity> itsjareds: By looking at the physical ports.
[19:42] <joshua__> seidos, but i can't...
[19:42] <SoldierNIX> fccf, then what are o-lines for?
[19:42] <JoeSomebody> should i go fat32 to avoid ntfs errors?
[19:42] <JoeSomebody> on the share
[19:42] <itsjareds> grawity: I have four /dev/ttyS* , and I don't know which one I need to print from
[19:42] <itsjareds> None of them seem to be working
[19:43] <Pici> !netsplit
[19:43] <grawity> JoeSomebody: 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] <grawity> JoeSomebody: Second, NTFS is a lot more stable than FAT32.
[19:43] <harisund> So 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] <seidos> joshua__: what happens when you try?
[19:43] <JoeSomebody> ok, i always use ntfs on the win boxes
[19:44] <chai_> prefrontal_, looks like you have to install the cron file after making it, i.e. crontab -u <username> <crontab file>
[19:44] <JoeSomebody> but what about that errors rumor i heard?
[19:45] <XeroXenith> how do i convert an mkv with multiple audio and sub tracks to dvd, keeping all these tracks?
[19:45] <Hillshum> How do I override package deps?
[19:45] <joshua__> seidos, i only have the option of 960*600 or lower
[19:46] <JoeSomebody> i 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] <grawity> JoeSomebody: 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] <grawity> JoeSomebody: 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 fine
[19:46] <JoeSomebody> ok, thanks :)
[19:46] <chai_> is it possible to install 32-bit gcc (version 2.7.2.3) on amd64 jaunty?
[19:47] <XeroXenith> JoeSomebody, i've been using NTFS with linux ever since ntfs-3g was merged into ubuntu, about 2 years ago. never had a problem
[19:47]  * Hillshum writes to his NTFS from Ubuntu all the time
[19:47] <seidos> joshua__: dude, not sure.  let me check the forums
[19:47] <JoeSomebody> i would be writing under windows one day and linux the next , for example (triple boot system)
[19:47] <grawity> JoeSomebody: For multiboot, use NTFS for the "shared" drive, then.
[19:47] <JoeSomebody> •XeroXenith• good to know
[19:47] <ambros> anyone have an idea why my 9.04 machine has a bandwidth cap of 1MB/s?
[19:48] <southern_> how can i figure out what package i installed yesterday made my touch pad on my laptop stop working?
[19:48] <Hillshum> ambros: Are you sure it'
[19:48] <grawity> southern_: Remove all packages installed yesterday, check if it works again, then install one by one?
[19:48] <Hillshum> s not the network?
[19:48] <jiffe> so how would I go about adding an IP to haresources without taking the heartbeat service down?
[19:49] <joshua__> seidos, I will keep searching too, let me know if you find anything
[19:49] <D-rew> Nvidia is extremely broken, now.
[19:49] <ambros> Hillshum: yea, im just transfering from one computer to another, so it should be alot faster than that
[19:49] <southern_> im not exactly sure which ones i installed. I there any way to tell for sure? is there any way to go back to the way it was yesterday
[19:49] <Hillshum> ambros: on a LAN?
[19:49] <D-rew> How can I remove the module completely, and reinstall the drivers?
[19:50] <ambros> Hillshum: yes, not going out side the network, and it is a gigabit onboard adapter
[19:50] <Wbar> I am using the Wbar ubuntu gadget, how do I send it to the right of the screen ? currently it is at the bottom of the deskop
[19:50] <Hillshum> ambros: How are they connected? do they both have gigabit adapters?
[19:51] <ambros> hillshum: i beleive so, there is a 10/100 switch inbetween, so that would limit it, but i wouldnt think it would limit that much
[19:51] <nullp0inter> hi, how can i copy all files from within many sub directories to another directory WITHOUT maintaining sub directory structures?
[19:52] <Hillshum> ambros: 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 cron
[19:53] <ambros> hillshum: arent network equipment rated by 10/100/1000 1000 = gigabit?
[19:53] <Hillshum> I think so.
[19:54] <grawity> Hillshum: 10/100 is "10/100 Mbps" (the NIC can work at both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps, depending on the other end)
[19:54] <ambros> i did a bandwidth from this comptuer, and it was horrifically low, compared to my other comptuers on the network
[19:54] <Ridders> how can I test to see if my ATI drivers are working on ubuntu?
[19:54] <itsjareds> Has anyone been able to print via a serial port?
[19:54] <Hillshum> ambros: Do you have any other OSes on it to try?
[19:54] <Kalisto> not a linux question... what are those frozen fruit suckers called that are in a plastic casing and you chew the top off to suck on the frozen fruit liquid?
[19:54] <seidos> joshua__: found this http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsispart1.shtml#introduction
[19:55] <itsjareds> good question Kalisto
[19:55] <grawity> itsjareds: Waiit, you still have a serial port printer? O_o
[19:55] <joshua__> seidos, thanks reading now
[19:55] <venkvelaga> Anyone know how I can get outa blank screen in Ubuntu
[19:55] <Kalisto> itsjareds, im trying to google them but dont know what theybare called
[19:55] <itsjareds> grawity: It has one serial port and one USB port, and I need to connect it to two computers
[19:55] <harisund> hmm has anyone else noticed apt-get becoming really really really slow when you have lots of packages installed? By design?
[19:55] <itsjareds> my computer has a serial port while the other does not
[19:55] <Cale> nullp0inter: perhaps using something like: find /path/to/copy/from -execdir cp {} /path/to/copy/to ;
[19:55] <ambros> hillshum: yse, windows 7 did a bandwidth test of 2Mbps, osx did 1.5Mbps, and ubuntu did about 140kbps
[19:56] <grawity> itsjareds: Have you considered just sharing it over the network?
[19:56] <itsjareds> grawity: How?
[19:56] <Hillshum> ambros: Hmm. that's all I can think of
[19:56] <grawity> itsjareds: CUPS, the printing daemon, can listen to requests over the network.
[19:57] <ambros> there is a bunch of stuff on forums about wireless being capped, but i am clueless as to why this is capped so low
[19:57] <grawity> itsjareds: That requires both PCs to be powered on though.
[19:57] <papi_> io
[19:57] <itsjareds> so if the printer is connected to another computer, I send a print job to that other computer's private IP?
[19:57] <itsjareds> Yeah that's ok
[19:58] <joshua__> seidos, how do i know what version of xorg i have?
[19:58] <grawity> itsjareds: If I recall correctly, on one computer you need to tell cups to listen on the LAN IP (in addition to the default 127.0.0.1), and then on computer B add computer A's something :|
[19:58] <mgmuscari> how risky do you think it would be to change from GRUB to GRUB2? here's my partition table: http://paste.ubuntu.com/282401/
[19:59] <nullp0inter> thanks Cale!
[19:59] <itsjareds> I'll give it a try, didn't know that network was possible
[19:59] <seidos> joshua__: you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  I have ver 1.6.3 according to my log
[19:59] <seidos> joshua__: the logs are your friend
[20:00] <Trizicus> I just 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' my CPU and it says it's at 1k Mhz. Which is not the case. My CPU should be at 2k Mhz how do I fix this?
[20:00] <viki> I have a problem with UrbanTerror on Ubuntu Karmic. Previously on Jaunty (computer is the same) it was working fine, on the Karmic it is crashing with a black screen after starting. After I need to reboot the machine... Can anybody help?
[20:00] <mgmuscari> Trizicus: change your power saving settings...
[20:00] <SoldierNIX> Need help for my freinds macbook. I cant seem to blacklist the 'ssb' driver on startup.
[20:00] <joshua__> so i have 1.6.0 which driver do i need?
[20:00] <Trizicus> through the applet?
[20:01] <Trizicus> mgmuscari I'm in the settings area but see nothing w/ CPU Throttling
[20:01] <joshua__> seidos, sorry forgot to put that in there
[20:01] <grawity> itsjareds: It seems Ubuntu already has a page on that - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu
[20:01] <joshua__> so i have 1.6.0 which driver do i need? seidos
[20:01] <seidos> joshua__: not sure, haven't finished reading the document
[20:01] <fccf> mgmuscari: Grub2 will be default in ubuntu 9.10 Karmic ... probably not a good idea yet, as it isn't tested ... but if you want this ppa has it https://launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/ppa/+packages compiled for Jaunty
[20:02] <joshua__> seidos, okay
[20:02] <seidos> joshua__: I think you should download sysctrl
[20:02] <itsjareds> grawity: Heh, I actually just found that page through google. Thanks, I'll check it out and report back
[20:02] <LuYu> i just remotely upgraded a system from 8.04 to 9.04, and X will not start
[20:02] <fccf> !karmic | viki KARMIC BREAKS THINGS
[20:02] <LuYu> i have no physical access to the machine
[20:03] <mgmuscari> fccf: thanks... i'm trying to create a small partition with damn small linux on it, but can't figure out how to get it to boot with grub 0.97
[20:03] <ScottG> In regex, a comma on [] brackets doesn't have any special meaning does it? As in, it just means a comma, right?
[20:03] <joshua__> seidos, will do...
[20:03] <Trizicus> mgmuscari: How do I change the power settings in ubuntu? Through the GUI I see nothing w/ CPU throttling
[20:03] <grawity> ScottG: Depends on the regex library - but usually yes, it's just a character.
[20:03] <seidos> joshua__: i have to drop off some mail at the post office.  i'll be back in 15 minutes
[20:03] <joshua__> aright
[20:03] <fccf> mgmuscari: have you considered running DSL as a virtual machine? might be easier
[20:03] <LuYu> editing or regenerating xorg.conf doesnt seem to work
[20:04] <grawity> LuYu: Have you checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log already?
[20:04] <grawity> LuYu: Also, if you have no physical access, how/why are you using X?
[20:04] <LuYu> because the user i am supporting is using X
[20:04] <LuYu> its not my computer
[20:04] <joshua__> oh boy... I just killed synaptic
[20:05] <user__> galera...
[20:05] <LuYu> ill check the logs more carefully
[20:05] <ScottG> grawity: If you have something like [7-9] does that include the 7 and 9 or only what is in between them (in this case just 8)?
[20:05] <user__> como eu posso testar minha placa de video...
[20:05] <fccf> !es |user__
[20:05] <SoldierNIX> Im running ubuntu 9.04 and adding a driver to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist doesnt blacklist it, how do I blacklist a driver?
[20:05] <mgv2> there is a graph in the lower right side when playing open arena  - how can i read the graph?
[20:05] <mgv2> does anyone knows of good gui file wiper?
[20:05] <grawity> ScottG: [7-9] includes 7, 9, and everything in between.
[20:06] <ScottG> ok

[20:06] <ActionParsnip> in AWN what does a little black arrow under an app mean??
[20:06] <user__> how to test the performance of my video card?
[20:06] <LuYu> it looks like the mouse isnt being detected
[20:06] <joshua__> i fixed it
[20:06] <LuYu> i read a bug report about that
[20:06] <grawity> ActionParsnip: AWN is the OSX-dock-like thing?
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> user__: run a game and show fps
[20:06] <mgmuscari> user__: go play a game and measure the reading on your Fun-O-Meter
[20:06] <LuYu> i didnt think it would cause X to crash, though
[20:06] <VCoolio> ActionParsnip: that it's a launcher that is running?
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> grawity: yeah, just test driving it for laughs
[20:06] <grawity> ActionParsnip: In the Dock, a black arrow means the app is already running.
[20:07] <LuYu> the bug report just had an xorg.conf file that they claimed works
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> VCoolio: grawity: its frets on fire which would run fullscreen
[20:07] <LuYu> but it doesnt
[20:07] <mgv2> where is the israeli chat for ubuntu?

[20:08] <eric12> when i start ubuntu asks me for  username and password either i didnt put on in or i forgot
[20:09] <fccf> user__: consider running glxgears ... see also man glxgears for options
[20:09] <Hillshum> eric12: The simple fix is to reinstall
[20:09] <jbutera> is it possible to login to my ubuntu box via vnc or whatever? i dont want to share the current session, i want to get the gdm login screen.. like windows' terminal services
[20:09] <LuYu> the mouse and keyboard failures seem to be the only errors
[20:09] <grawity> eric12: Reboot Ubuntu in "Recovery mode" (there's an option for it when you turn on the PC). Choose the 'root shell' option from menu. Use "ls /home" to find out your username, and "passwd your-username" to reset the password.
[20:09] <AaDi> do u know how to run Counter Strike on ubuntu plz ?
[20:09] <mgv2> how can screen print menu?
[20:10] <kenneth_> quit
[20:10] <LuYu> the bug report mentioned something about hotplug
[20:10] <P67> Evening lads, can i have someone's attention for the moment considering multiple X11 sessions?
[20:10] <fccf> !ask | P67
[20:11] <P67> Well i didn't mean to be rude so i asked before i asked :p
[20:11] <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] <skysong> googleee
[20:11] <fccf> user__: www.ubuntupocketguide.com good start on ubuntu ... next step are manpages
[20:12] <mgmuscari> user__: for programming, i recommend you take some classes
[20:12] <mgv2> i have a double desktop folder that cause problem - what can i do?
[20:12] <skysong> fccf, did you actually read the pocketguides?
[20:12] <P67> Alright, 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] <P67> How do i go about loading both xbmc standalone and gnome on startup. Resulting on gnome on a different VTTY
[20:13] <user__> 	
[20:13] <user__> I've read all the ubuntu guide and already have a notion to use the terminal, move files to install repositories
[20:13] <AaDi> do u know how to run Counter Strike on ubuntu plz ?
[20:13] <mgmuscari> AaDi: try wine
[20:14] <fccf> AaDi: and here http://playonlinux.com/en/
[20:14] <user__> Aadi i know
[20:14] <fccf> skysong: not in it's entirity
[20:14] <P67> Steam should run well enough on WINE.
[20:15] <user__> Aadi i can help to play CS in ubuntu
[20:15] <AaDi> user_ ...thanks dude...i'll see what i can do here
[20:15] <skysong> i 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.
[20:16] <Hillshum> I have an old Unix tutorial book that helped as well, see what works for you
[20:16] <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] <P67> Your next step is to comprehend it properly enough to execute it in reality
[20:17] <mgv2> how can screen print menus?
[20:18] <user__> mas eu já o compreendo completamente....
[20:18] <user__> but I've completely understand ....
[20:18] <Tim> hi mgv2, do you mean scren print the desktop or just a part of the desktop?
[20:18] <P67> If you do, why do you ask these questions user_ :)
[20:19] <P67> Sorry to barge in again. But did anyone have an answer for my multiple sessions on startup question?
[20:19] <mgv2> tim, ps menues from programs
[20:19] <TheEvilOne> does anyone here know how to launch emacs in command line mode
[20:19] <TheEvilOne> i can only get it to open in a GUI window
[20:20] <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 start
[20:20] <Powersource> TheEvilOne, maybe there is a command-line version that you have to install
[20:20] <Tim> not sure which version you are running but this may help http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-take-a-screenshot-on-ubuntu-linux
[20:20] <P67> Perl, Bash ? I guess that's good to learn user_
[20:20] <TheEvilOne> well there is still a specifc command that launches it in GUI or commandline mode
[20:21] <TheEvilOne> like in VI you have to use the -g argument to launch it in a gui
[20:21]  * genii ponders -nox
[20:21] <TheEvilOne> it launches in CLI by default
[20:21] <grawity> I'm sure emacs has --help.
[20:21] <P67> Meh
[20:21]  * P67 barges in again :)
[20:21] <TheEvilOne> emacs laucnhes in GUI by default and I dont know the command to launch in CLI
[20:21] <TheEvilOne> the help doesnt say
[20:21] <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] <ikonia> user__: try #bash
[20:22] <grawity> user__: Python, C, C#
[20:22] <TheEvilOne> the -nox command still launches it in GUI
[20:22] <P67> Bash, Perl and Python is the way to go. then go to C programming.
[20:22] <Tim> mgv2, any good?
[20:22] <erUSUL> TheEvilOne: 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?
[20:23] <P67> Yep southern, ubuntu probably isn't using UTC
[20:23] <ikonia> southern_: sounds like windows is not syncing the time
[20:23] <Tim> southern, do you mean after you have corrected it is fails back agin?
[20:23] <TheEvilOne> no
[20:23] <P67> or your UTC is wrong
[20:23] <TheEvilOne> doesnt seem necessary
[20:23] <southern_> yes i change it every time
[20:23] <TheEvilOne> in VIM if you install the GUI version you can launch both
[20:23] <TheEvilOne> seems like that would be true of emacs
[20:23] <user__> hehe ... Thank you all ... I download books and start studying now ...
[20:23] <TheEvilOne> since the GUI is extra so to speak the CLI should be there
[20:23] <southern_> how can i make ubuntu use utc? will this fix it?
[20:24]  * P67 is still pondering about Multiple sessions login 
[20:24] <ikonia> southern_: when you boot ubuntu does it have the right time ?
[20:24] <Tim> sothern, you are set to the correct time zone, and the bios time is correct?
[20:24] <user__> iknoia tks
[20:24] <southern_> yes, ubuntu is always right
[20:24] <user__> grawity tks
[20:24] <TheEvilOne> the package I installed says its emacs with "support for x" therefore it should work in both modes you would think'
[20:24] <grawity> Windows stores the local time to the hardware clock. Ubuntu probably treats it as UTC time.
[20:24] <user__> P67 tks
[20:24] <P67> If 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] <P67> bb user_ :)
[20:24] <wzzrd> nullp0inter: find DIR -type f -exec cp {} OTHERDIR/. \;
[20:24] <wzzrd> or something like that
[20:25] <Tim> southern, ???
[20:25] <mgv2> tim, in capturing menues not
[20:26] <southern_> yes windows is in the right time zone and bios is right
[20:26] <dassouki> why doesn't gnome have an auto align feature for its desktops
[20:26] <ikonia> southern_: then it looks like windows is not syncing time when it boots up
[20:26] <TheEvilOne> i figured it out, its -nw
[20:26] <grawity> ikonia: No, Windows works fine.
[20:26] <P67> It shouldn't sync time since the time should be BIOS set.
[20:26] <ikonia> grawity: oh, I thought he said windows time was off
[20:26] <bleh_> hey all how to get rhytmbox playing a cd?
[20:27] <ikonia> P67: windows goes to time.microsoft.com on boot up
[20:27] <grawity> Windows 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 CDDA
[20:27] <ikonia> P67: my theory was bios drift/failure, ubuntu updates it, windows doesn't
[20:27] <god_> hello ubuntuans
[20:27] <P67> I never got my windows time adjusted if i installed a netBSD Distro from the early centuries
[20:28] <Tim> mgv2, 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 now
[20:28] <ikonia> grawity: same as ntp won't, I guess it depends how far off the time is
[20:28] <southern_> windows always goes 4 hours off if this means anything
[20:28] <j0nr> evening
[20:28] <j0nr> how 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] <P67> afaik windows does use UTC :o
[20:28] <grawity> P67: Not for the hwclock.
[20:28] <kermit> if 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] <ikonia> j0nr: if you have 3 partitions, your 4th one should be an extended
[20:29] <nullp0inter> user__: for programming you should start with something like C/C++ in my opinion
[20:29] <P67> So mye, how do i go around starting multiple sessions on startup?
[20:29] <j0nr> ikonia: 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 primaries
[20:29] <Hillshum> Why do the ffmpeg-unstripped packages exist?
[20:29] <P67> Or rather, should i create an .xinitrc in my homedir..?
[20:29] <ikonia> j0nr: how are you trying to create it ?
[20:29] <nicoooo> hi, i am trying to install ubuntu in a qemu environment. do i have to use the alternate cd?
[20:29] <erUSUL> j0nr: and cretaing and extended parition does not affect the other paritions on the disk
[20:29] <ikonia> nicoooo: nope
[20:29] <j0nr> ikonia: gparted
[20:29] <grawity> ikonia, 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.
[20:30] <ikonia> grawity: ah, yes, I see what you are saying
[20:30] <nicoooo> ikonia, thanks
[20:30] <P67> Classic mix up and misinterpretations of OSs :)
[20:30] <RENATINHA> OI
[20:31] <grawity> MS-DOS stored local time (it didn't know about timezones). For compatibility, Windows 95 had to do the same. And so it continues.
[20:31] <TheEvilOne> another question, how do you launch somethingn from the terminal in the backround
[20:31] <P67> & it.
[20:31] <RENATINHA> OI
[20:31] <TheEvilOne> you know how when you launch something like GEDIT you cant use the terminal until you close it
[20:31] <TheEvilOne> i remember reading how to do it but i forget
[20:31] <grawity> TheEvilOne: gedit &
[20:31] <ikonia> j0nr: when you click create new partition, there is an option for "create as" the default is primary, change it to logical
[20:31] <TheEvilOne> grawity thanks
[20:32] <grawity> TheEvilOne: Or even better,  ( gedit & ) &> /dev/null
[20:32] <erUSUL> grawity: for ubuntu is in /etc/default/rcS the option to use utc or not in hw
[20:32] <mgv2> tim, how do i make a video??
[20:32] <grawity> erUSUL: rcS? Isn't it for single-user?
[20:32] <P67> Writing output to dev/null? :p pff so much for troubleshooting
[20:32] <grawity> erUSUL: Anyway, what is it set to, by default?
[20:32] <erUSUL> grawity: /etc/ *default* /rcS
[20:32] <RENATINHA> OI GATINHO
[20:32] <ikonia> !br | RENATINHA
[20:32] <grawity> P67: As if you ever receive useful output from GTK apps. Only the GTK warning verbage.
[20:32] <AQLIVE> hi ćan anyone help me? Is it possible to turn off the asking of my password every time I update or try to connect to the internet
[20:33] <P67> ;)
[20:33] <j0nr> ikonia: i just get a 'new' option... then the error as i already have 3 primamry partitions
[20:33] <erUSUL> grawity: last time i did it i was asked during install
[20:33] <P67> Just as swell error-messages as JRE-Logs eh grawity
[20:33] <grawity> erUSUL: Ubuntu never asked me that. By the way, what is the setting set to by default?
[20:33] <ikonia> j0nr: 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] <P67> grawity, you seem like a smart guy. Help me out booting 2 sessions on startup. they differ in session-types yet same user.
[20:34] <j0nr> ikonia: nope, definately not getting that option
[20:34] <RENATINHA> OI PICIZINHO
[20:34] <erUSUL> grawity: i dunno i have it to no (sc**w windows ;P) but i suppose it would be yes so dualboot setups work ok
[20:34] <ikonia> j0nr: do you know how to take a screen shot
[20:34] <j0nr> yeah..but where to put it? ikonia
[20:34] <ikonia> j0nr: photo bucket ?
[20:35] <erUSUL> !paste | j0nr
[20:36] <Pici> Sorry for all the noise. I'm done now.
[20:36] <P67> X11 guru needed. :(
[20:37] <o_portista17> someone using Evolution with a Hotmail, email? because if i have it on Auto-Update (checking mail automatic, 10m), it downloads the same emails more then once...i have the same emails, 4 times...
[20:37] <ltcabral> how to i change my <' + c> key from ć to ç in my US keyboard (with dead keys)??
[20:37] <tehbaut> is there a good camtasia studio replacement for linux?
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> o_portista17: tell the client to delete the email from the server once downloaded
[20:37] <o_portista17> but i need the emails on the server, ActionParsnip
[20:37] <j0nr> ikonia: http://imagebin.org/65918
[20:38] <iceroot> o_portista17: use imap
[20:38] <grawity> iceroot: Hotmail does not support IMAP.
[20:38] <jbeitler> j0nr: click new, then you can manage it
[20:38] <iceroot> o_portista17: pop3 cant handle saving mails on server and client correctly
[20:38] <ikonia> j0nr: so click new ?
[20:38] <iceroot> grawity: then we should use a good provider
[20:38] <iceroot> grawity: he
[20:39] <ikonia> j0nr: you already have 4 primary partitions
[20:39] <itsjareds> Does anyone know how to use Samba to access a Windows 7 printer?
[20:39] <jbeitler> itsjareds: you are going to have to explain a Windows7 printer a little? Do you mean a printer shared off Windows7
[20:39] <j0nr> ikonia:  i do and get this: http://imagebin.org/65919
[20:40] <ikonia> j0nr: you already have 4 partitions, that's the problem
[20:40] <j0nr> oh, so the swap is a primamry
[20:40] <j0nr> ?
[20:40] <ikonia> j0nr: correct
[20:40] <itsjareds> jbeitler: Yeah, I meant printer connected to and shared from Windows7
[20:40] <VCoolio> ltcabral: what does right alt + ,  do for you?
[20:40] <j0nr> ikonia: :) ok, so ...is myonly option to delete one, create an extended in its place then add extra partitions?
[20:41] <ikonia> j0nr: spot on
[20:41] <j0nr> ikonia: doh
[20:41] <ltcabral> VCoolio: ×
[20:41] <ikonia> j0nr: deleting swap would be the most logical
[20:41] <jiffe> man us.archive.ubuntu.com sure is slow atm
[20:41] <j0nr> ikonia: oh ok, no problems doing that? then recreate it within the ext.?
[20:42] <jbeitler> itsjareds: When you hit New printer, you should see "Find Network Printer"  you can type in the host name or IP
[20:42] <ikonia> j0nr: no problem at all, just rememeber to update your /etc/fstab
[20:42] <j0nr> ikonia: :/ what will be wring in my fstab?
[20:43] <ikonia> j0nr: the identifier for your swap partition, which you will change by recreating it
[20:43] <j0nr> ok
[20:43] <erUSUL> j0nr: uuids/device names will change. you have to reflect that changes in fstab
[20:43] <itsjareds> jbeitler: It responds with "No printer was found at that address". I have a Win7 homegroup set to just share printers. Is there anything special I need to do for a homegroup?
[20:43] <itsjareds> I also don't know if i need to do anything with Samba
[20:45] <erk_> @FloodBot2
[20:45] <j0nr> ikonia: erUSUL so i will need to change fstab in both my other ubuntu partitions...
[20:45] <j0nr> how do i identify my new swap?
[20:46] <erUSUL> j0nr: both ? you have two ubuntu instalations ?
[20:46] <erUSUL> !uuid | j0nr
[20:47] <j0nr> erUSUL: yes, i have a partition running 8.04 server, 1 running 9.04 desktop and i need another running XP (unfortunately)
[20:47] <erUSUL> j0nr: then yes you have to change it ion both instalations
[20:48] <tehbaut> anyone know of any good camtasia studio replacement for linux?
[20:48] <nostalgicBadger> hey 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] <j0nr> no probs erUSUL. thanks for your help... and ikonia, you too.
[20:48] <nostalgicBadger> i'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] <MenZa> nostalgicBadger: try ./eclipse
[20:49] <MenZa> That runs eclipse from your current directory.
[20:49] <erUSUL> nostalgicBadger: no you have to add ~/bin/packages to your path or just make a simlink in ~/bin/ that points to ~/bin/packages/whatever
[20:49] <nostalgicBadger> that works, but how would i change it so eclipse launches the file from anywhere?
[20:49] <erUSUL> nostalgicBadger: as ~/bin/ is included in path if present
[20:50] <nostalgicBadger> i guess, more importantly, for general use, is there something i can edit that lets me point commands to files? so 'eclipse' > /path/to/file
[20:50] <VCoolio> nostalgicBadger: 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 folders
[20:50] <Fendaril> guys
[20:50] <earthling> nostalgicBadger, as erUSUL  says just add the eclipse folder to yuor $PATH
[20:50] <Fendaril> I am trying to run a fil but i get this error
[20:50] <Fendaril> bash: ./run.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[20:51] <Guest99483> can anyone explain this to me?
[20:51] <Guest99483> bash: ./run.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[20:51] <MenZa> Feldegast: What's the first line of that script?
[20:51] <Chousuke> Guest99483: your file has DOS endline characters.
[20:51] <MenZa> Fendaril*
[20:51] <iceroot> Guest99483: first line #bin/sh
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> fendaril: try: chmod +x ./run.sh; ./run.sh
[20:51] <Chousuke> Guest99483: use dos2unix to convert to unix endlines
[20:52] <Guest99483> ok
[20:52] <genii> Guest99483: The file is in an MS-DOS format where line ends are terminated with caret-M   (^M)
[20:52] <mgmuscari> does anybody have any idea what "initializing rt netlink socket" means?
[20:52] <Guest99483> ah I see
[20:52] <Guest99483> so I use dostolinux?
[20:52] <mgmuscari> i've got an image of a linux with a 2.4 kernel and it keeps hanging on boot at that step...
[20:53] <Chousuke> Guest99483: you can also just do "sh run.sh"
[20:53] <rxd> anyone running 9.10 karmic on usb?
[20:53] <espenel> sup
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | rxd
[20:53] <erUSUL> !karmic | rxd
[20:53] <nostalgicBadger> ok, well $PATH shows ~/bin, but i have eclipse in ~/bin/packages/eclipse 3.5 can i somehow get it to search folders within ~/bin/packages ?
[20:53] <VCoolio> nostalgicBadger: you can also make an alias in ~/.bashrc like this: alias eclipse='whatever command it needs'
[20:53] <Guest99483> chousuke it says command not found
[20:53] <rxd> ok karmic beta on usb
[20:53] <erUSUL> mgmuscari: ntelink is a socket like interface between kernel and userspace. i guess that rt == real time
[20:53] <Guest99483> i did sh run.sh
[20:54] <Shawn-> Would learning Pygame be hard for someone who is only intermediate at Python?
[20:54] <mgmuscari> erUSUL: does that have anything to do with the runtime level?
[20:54] <nostalgicBadger> VCoolio: all right. is there a better way, or is that something people do?
[20:54] <Guest99483> there?
[20:54] <nostalgicBadger> (i don't want to fall into bad habits)
[20:54] <Chousuke> Guest99483: with or without the quotes? :P
[20:54] <Guest99483> wihtout quotes
[20:54] <mgmuscari> erUSUL: i don't think i can modify this image... it would be nice if i could get it to boot, though
[20:54] <erUSUL> nostalgicBadger: just make a symlik « ln -s ~/bin/packages/eclipse ~/bin/eclipse »
[20:54] <Chousuke> Guest99483: hm. so which command does it complain about?
[20:54] <erUSUL> mgmuscari: i dunno sorry
[20:54] <rxd> is run-init on the init script same as switch_root?
[20:54] <Guest99483> bash: sh run.sh: command not found
[20:55] <naadde> Hello! I can't get my wireless working on ubuntu 8.10 and my acer aspire one a150.
[20:55] <naadde> Could anyone help
[20:55] <hwilde> Guest99483, ./run.sh
[20:55] <Chousuke> Guest99483: ... huh.
[20:55] <Chousuke> hwilde: that won't work.
[20:55] <Guest99483> thats what i did 5 times
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> naadde: run: sudo lshw -C network | grep product
[20:55] <naadde> my kernel is 2.6.29.1.20090414.sickboy
[20:55] <Guest99483> and it gave the same error
[20:55] <Guest99483> you said do sh run.sh
[20:55] <mgmuscari> erUSUL: thanks for the info
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> naadde: the output will start you with websearches
[20:55] <Guest99483> and i tried it thinking it was a new way
[20:56] <erUSUL> nostalgicBadger: where did you get that kernel from ?
[20:56] <Guest99483> I guess i need dos2linux
[20:56] <erUSUL> nostalgicBadger: sorry not for you
[20:56] <Chousuke> Guest99483: what about "bash run.sh" (without quotes)
[20:56] <Guest99483> and I dont have the text file for the .sh
[20:56] <naadde> ActionParsnip:        product: AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter
[20:56] <erUSUL> naadde: where did you get that kernel from ? we can not support random kernels here
[20:56] <Guest99483> bash: sh run.sh: command not found
[20:57] <ltcabral> how to i change my <' + c> key from ć to ç in my US keyboard (with dead keys)??
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> naadde: http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/185/install-atheros-ar242x-802-11abg-wireless-driver-in-ubuntu
[20:57] <fccf> Guest99483: try ./run.sh
[20:57] <hwilde> Guest99483,  the right way to execute a script is like this:     ./run.sh
[20:57] <earthling> Guest99483,  what does echo $SHELL give the output?
[20:57] <Chousuke> hwilde: that will not work in this case.
[20:57] <Chousuke> hwilde: his script file is a bit broken
[20:57] <hwilde> Chousuke, then the script is not executable or not in the right directory.
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> naadde: you will need to do that EVERY time you change kernel, so keep the source handy
[20:58] <Guest99483> bash: sh run.sh: command not found
[20:58] <Guest99483> /bin/bash
[20:58] <Guest99483> my bad
[20:58] <Chousuke> hwilde: no, its shebang line is corrupted
[20:58] <Guest99483> thats in my shell variable
[20:58] <hwilde> Guest99483,   pastebinit -i run.sh
[20:58] <Guest99483> and i tried .run.sh 5 times already guys
[20:58] <grawity> Guest99483: Try typing sh run.sh
[20:58] <Chousuke> hwilde: so running it with the shell directly will work better.
[20:58] <naadde> ActionParsnip: is that working with every kernel?
[20:58] <hwilde> Chousuke, it's not getting into the script, it cannot locate the file.
[20:58] <Guest99483> when i do sh run.sh it says command not found
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> naadde: yes thats for any ubuntu, you are compiling madwifi
[20:58] <Chousuke> hwilde: what?
[20:58] <Chousuke> hwilde: the script IS the thing being run.
[20:59] <naadde> ActionParsnip: thank you, even tho' I am not ready yet I am so glad
[20:59] <hwilde> Chousuke, the scripts is not being run as the command is not found.
[20:59] <hwilde> Guest99483,   pastebinit -i run.sh
[20:59] <earthling> Guest99483,  alsp pasytebin the script. the first line should like !#/bin/bash for a script
[20:59] <Guest99483> im sintalling pastebinit
[20:59] <Guest99483> installing*
[20:59] <Guest99483> ok hold for 1 second
[20:59] <genii> Guest99483: The "dos2unix" program is in the package tofrodos. If you install that, you can feed the problemmatic "run.sh" file through it to remove all the DOS ^M parts, then run it normally from in linux
[21:00] <LuYu> is the layout section required in xorg.conf?
[21:00] <Guest99483> i know this is a stupid question but does anyone one know how to look for packages graphically?
[21:00] <erUSUL> LuYu: this days the xorg.conf file can be almost empty. it tries to autoconfigure itself in runtime
[21:00] <hwilde> !synaptic > Guest99483
[21:00] <Chousuke> hwilde: the error message is a bit confusing. it's as if he's writing "sh run.sh" with the double quotes :/
[21:01] <nishtec> hi all
[21:01] <LuYu> yeah, well, i reconfigured and it still doesnt  work
[21:01] <erUSUL> Chousuke: bingo!
[21:01] <Guest99483> http://pastebin.com/f51a7ddaa
[21:01] <Guest99483> guys
[21:01] <Guest99483> pastebinit makes me lol
[21:01] <LuYu> X is not detecting the mouse or keyboard (USB both)
[21:01] <hwilde> Guest99483,   sudo chmod a+x run.sh
[21:02] <Chousuke> you don't need sudo for chmod
[21:02] <Chousuke> unless it's not your file.
[21:02] <hwilde> Guest99483,  then after you chmod it,      ./run.sh
[21:02] <Chousuke> but that's not really the problem in this case.
[21:02] <Guest99483> nope i need to tofrodos package
[21:02] <Chousuke> sh run.sh will work just as well
[21:02] <avemowvip> je voudrais ubuntu fr s'il vous plait...
[21:02] <hwilde> !fr
[21:03] <Chousuke> though with a simple script like that you could just open it in an editor and rewrite the first line :)
[21:03] <Chousuke> if you use vim, it'll even show you the ^M
[21:03] <Guest99483> whats wrong with the first line
[21:03] <Guest99483> hmm
[21:04] <Guest99483> you know what
[21:04] <Guest99483> thats a awsome idea
[21:04] <Chousuke> Guest99483: it has a DOS line ending
[21:04] <FloodBot2> Guest99483: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:04] <Chousuke> Guest99483: it should be a unix line ending
[21:04] <stinky> Hello, I just got my kernel updated, and it has destroyed my pulse audio and OSS install. I have had it with intel sound chip, What cheap soundcard can I buy to have sound that dose not get destroyed everytime there is a kernel update? TIA
[21:04] <Guest99483> and what is that
[21:04] <Guest99483> i see the ^M now
[21:04] <Chousuke> Guest99483: it's what you get with enter :)
[21:04]  * erUSUL looks to sed1liners
[21:04] <Chousuke> Guest99483: for historical reasons, there are two different characters for "line end"
[21:04] <Guest99483> so basically i can just delete it?
[21:04] <Chousuke> Guest99483: yep
[21:05] <iceroot> Guest99483: its msdos-format, so convert it or remove them by hand
[21:05]  * erUSUL sed -i 's/.$//' run.sh
[21:05] <hwilde> either dos2unix it or retype it from scratch
[21:05] <Yannick46> hey guys i have a code and  want to extract them to /Desktop: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/396411/
[21:05] <Chousuke> dos2unix is a useful tool to have though.
[21:06] <Guest99483> ./run.sh: line 5: java: command not found
[21:06] <tim>  
[21:06] <white_magic> anyone know if x-fi cards work out of the box with ubuntu 9.02? in previous release you had to recompile your kernel to get it working half-way
[21:06] <Guest99483> ill pastebinit
[21:06] <Guest99483> lol
[21:06] <Chousuke> Guest99483: now it's working
[21:06] <Chousuke> Guest99483: next: install java
[21:06] <Chousuke> :)
[21:06] <Guest99483> couldnt find package java
[21:06] <Guest99483> what is the exact name
[21:06] <Guest99483> lol
[21:06] <Chousuke> hmm
[21:06] <colblood> sudo apt-cache search java
[21:07] <Chousuke> no sudo!
[21:07] <erUSUL> !java | Guest99483
[21:07] <Chousuke> don't use sudo pointlessly!
[21:07] <hwilde> anybody know about ramdisks ?
[21:07] <Chousuke> always consider whether you really *need* it.
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> Yannick46: that will extract all the tar.gz files to the pwd you launch it in
[21:07] <colblood> so what, it just looks up the package names Chousuke
[21:07] <iceroot> Guest99483: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre  (or jdk, what you need)
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | white_magic
[21:07] <earthling> wtf??
[21:07] <Chousuke> colblood: yes, and it doesn't need sudo, so don't use it.
[21:07] <Chousuke> colblood: using sudo without thinking is a very bad habit.
[21:07] <Guest99483> its installed
[21:08] <Guest99483> 85 megabytes
[21:08] <Famous> hey
[21:08] <colblood> it doesnt need or use sudo, so doesnt matter either, but i understand your point
[21:08] <white_magic> ty actionparsnip
[21:08] <tim> Chousuke why don't you need to sudo in the search?
[21:08] <iceroot> tim: its a local search on the index
[21:08] <Famous> does any of you know the windows tool Nettools 5
[21:08] <stinky> white_magic, nope X-FI means you need to spend an afternoon with GOOGLE and the ubuntu forums, you need to build OSS from source.
[21:08] <Chousuke> tim: because it doesn't need to access any files available only to the superuser.
[21:08] <iceroot> Famous: you have a ubuntu related question?
[21:08] <Guest99483> so basically its a waste chousokue?
[21:09] <Chousuke> tim: or in other words, anyone is allowed to do a package search :)
[21:09] <tim> Oh I see
[21:09] <tim> Thx
[21:09] <Famous> I was wondering if there was a Ubuntu package what does similar things
[21:09] <Chousuke> Guest99483: using sudo when you don't need it makes you prone to sticking it in front of every command
[21:09] <white_magic> stinky: did OSS improve for x-fi cards? I remember it didn't work well at all 1 or 2 years ago
[21:09] <Chousuke> Guest99483: and that can actually *break* thing, never mind the security isseu
[21:09] <Chousuke> issue*
[21:09] <Chousuke> things* too
[21:09] <stinky> white_magic,  they are doing the best they can, Creative labs are the ones to blame for poor preformance
[21:10] <Guest99483> hmm interesting. They say when linux is more popular it will begin to have more people writing viruses for it
[21:10] <Guest99483> the only thing stopping it is the low usage
[21:10] <hotel> hey room
[21:10] <hotel> can't get my sound to work.  Any suggestions?
[21:10] <Chousuke> white_magic: I think .31 got OSS x-fi drivers
[21:10] <white_magic> .31?
[21:10] <stinky> some X-fi work ok, all depends on your chipset
[21:10] <Chousuke> kernel
[21:10] <Chousuke> 2.6.31
[21:10] <white_magic> ohh
[21:10] <white_magic> i see, thanks

[21:53] <{Onyx}> Bdhorish, is this a desktop or notebook?
[21:53] <Axess_Denied> hassanakevazril: Must be a bad config? I have spoken with many people who do the PSubuntu setup and have never heard of that
[21:53] <{Onyx}> If a notebook then it'll be onboard sound
[21:53] <Axess_Denied> hassanakevazril: Have you considered going to the PSUbuntu websites/forums?

[21:55] <genii> axc:  Usually something like: sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0
[21:55] <{Onyx}> or click on the network icon down by the clock and then click autoeth0

[21:56] <Axess_Denied> hassanakevazril: Maybe try Xubuntu
[21:57] <bdhorish> Where do I get that info?
[21:57] <axc> dhclient was the right one, atleast its the one i remember using many moons ago.
[21:57] <{Onyx}> should be a sticker on it
[21:57] <{Onyx}> probably on the bottom
[21:57] <mgv2> there is no such thing as gui file wiper/
[21:57] <{Onyx}> mgv2 like a secure shredder?
[21:58] <mgv2> {o
[21:58] <mgv2> {Onyx}, yes
[21:58] <{Onyx}> One moment, let me see what I can find
[21:58] <{Onyx}> What distro?
[21:58] <mgv2> lets see
[21:58] <mgv2> jaunty
[21:58] <axc> ok ethernet is working, now just gotta make the network accept the box. thanks.
[21:58] <nanotube> mgv2: try bleachbit http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/
[21:59] <Mka> hi everyone
[21:59] <{Onyx}> Hi Dr. Nick!
[21:59] <mgv2> nanotube, do i need to add sources for it?
[21:59] <nanotube> !hi | Mka
[21:59] <nanotube> mgv2: dunno... see if it's in the repos
[21:59] <nanotube> !info bleachbit
[21:59] <nanotube> mgv2: looks like it's in the repos :)
[21:59] <bdhorish> My distro is 9.04 jackolope I think and the service tag is 175tyg1
[22:00] <vecKt> would the alpha 6 be safe to use as a primary system?
[22:00] <mgv2> nanotube, im trying to install
[22:00] <mgv2> nanotube, ok
[22:00] <nanotube> mgv2: but it looks like it's really old version... so might be a better idea to get a .deb from the website and install that: http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/download/linux
[22:01] <{Onyx}> I really need to start studying up on info and network security
[22:01] <bluefoxicy> How do I use a wired interface without losing internet connection via wireless?
[22:01] <mgv2> does anyone use whole disk encryption like with the alternate cd?
[22:01] <bluefoxicy> I have a non-connected wired network
[22:01] <bluefoxicy> plugging a wire in instantly sets it to the default rout BUT THERE'S NO ROUTE TO THE INTERNET THAT WAY.
[22:01] <bdhorish> Onyx the distro is jackolope and the service tag is 175tg1
[22:02] <nanotube> {Onyx}: well, the internet is your oyster. the info is out there.
[22:02] <mgv2> what can i do about this? link http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9587/49564613.png
[22:02] <{Onyx}> I'm also trying to learn a couple languages at the same time, just not enough time in the day for all the stuff I want to learn
[22:02] <Dsboy> how poort forward ?
[22:03] <nanotube> {Onyx}: well, set your priorities, schedule your time... and have at it. ;)
[22:03] <mgv2> nanotube, which download to choose?
[22:03] <{Onyx}> Thinking about getting a job on amtrak so I have nothing to do but study for long hours
[22:03] <nanotube> mgv2: about your image: if you post a translation it might help. my hebrew is not good enough :)
[22:03] <{Onyx}> hey mgv i'm working on looking that up for ya now
[22:04] <nanotube> mgv2: as to which download... if you're using ubuntu jaunty, then grab the ubuntu jaunty .deb
[22:05] <{Onyx}> mgv I think that's missing a digit
[22:05] <{Onyx}> The Dell I'm working on has a 7 digit service tag and yours isn't pulling up on their web site.
[22:05] <bdhorish> Let me double check
[22:06] <bdhorish> Let me double check
[22:07] <bdhorish> That is wierd that is the number 175tyg1
[22:07] <{Onyx}> O crap, getting my questioners confused. Sorry bdhorish.
[22:07] <bdhorish> It is ok I know that can b.
[22:07] <{Onyx}> You missed the y the first time :)
[22:08] <kanja> Hey, can someone give me some advice for which tool I should start looking at for virtulization? KVM? Parallels? VMWare?
[22:08] <bdhorish> Ah ok and I am a madriva convert
[22:08] <bdhorish> So things are a tad different
[22:08] <iceroot> kanja: vbox
[22:08] <iceroot> !vbox | kanja
[22:08] <lstarnes> kanja: virtualbox or kvm
[22:09] <jawbber> is there any channel to discuss karmic koala?
[22:09] <CopyWriter> yes
[22:09] <iceroot> jawbber: #ubuntu+1
[22:09] <{Onyx}> Sound chip not listed on Dell's site. Looking around by model
[22:09] <jawbber> iceroot: thx
[22:09] <jawbber> #ubuntu+1
[22:09] <CopyWriter> this feels so good i just knew the answer was yes
[22:09] <jawbber> oops
[22:09] <CopyWriter> sadly don't have the info tho
[22:10] <mgmuscari> is there any reason for me NOT to remove the ubuntu-desktop package?
[22:10] <VCoolio> mgmuscari: you'll have to put it back if you want to upgrade to next ubuntu
[22:10] <seil> why when ubuntu is shutdown improperly I start having resolution issues the next start?
[22:11] <mgv2> does flash have cookies by itself?
[22:11] <mgmuscari> VCoolio: won't have any other effect on my ability to add/remove packages?
[22:11] <axc> does ubuntu have a disk formatting tool somewhere in the desktop?
[22:11] <VCoolio> mgmuscari: no, it's a metapackage, so it just keeps a lot of apps belonging to ubuntu in a group
[22:11] <mgmuscari> ah
[22:11] <{Onyx}> Sigmatel
[22:11] <{Onyx}> I'll see if I can find a Linux driver for it.
[22:11] <Lenin_Cat> how do I make sure windows wont remove grub when I install it?
[22:12] <bdhorish> Thanks so much
[22:12] <VCoolio> mgmuscari: so if you delete it and one of the belonging apps it technically is no longer ubuntu
[22:12] <bedrift901> gparted disk formating tool
[22:12] <mgmuscari> i'm thinking about installing sreadahead
[22:12] <mgv2> nanotube, there is no option for file wiping with this program - ive file on the desktop for example
[22:12] <axc> bedrift: where is it?
[22:13] <bedrift901> synaptic package manager
[22:13] <mgmuscari> does anybody know another linux distro comparable to damnsmalllinux that would be about the same size and boot in about the same time?
[22:13] <Lenin_Cat> how do I make sure windows wont remove grub when I install it?
[22:13] <bedrift901> system / adminstrator
[22:13] <half-jack> Lenin_Cat,  it removes you have to fix it after installing it
[22:13] <minar> Lenin_Cat: don't install it
[22:13] <mgmuscari> i was hoping to run DSL in tandem with ubuntu on this machine, for when i just want something lightweight, but it's locking on boot at "initializing rt netlink socket"

[22:16] <lenswipe> hey guys
[22:17] <lenswipe> how do i find out what version of ubuntu i have?
[22:17] <defdef> In regards to Ubuntu NetworkManager VPN client, the help page says this: "I could not connect to a Windows VPN (PPTP) unless I manually set the MTU and MRU to 1500. No error message other than "Could not connect" was reported. So try this easy change if you can't connect." Any idea how to manually set MTU and MRU to 1500? They don't detail how.
[22:17] <mgv2> nanotube, how can i completley uninstall it?
[22:17] <Guest32172> hellow
[22:17] <{Onyx}> lens system-> about ubuntu
[22:17] <lenswipe> {Onyx}: i dont have GUI access? thats gonna be kinda hard! >:)
[22:17] <{Onyx}> o
[22:17] <nanotube> mgv2: sudo apt-get remove --purge bleachbit
[22:17] <robbmunson> lenswipe, type lsb_release -a in a terminal or do what {Onyx} said
[22:18] <lenswipe> robbmunson: thats the one, i couldnt remember it, ty
[22:18] <robbmunson> lenswipe, sure ;)
[22:19] <lenswipe> next question is this
[22:19] <lenswipe> if upgrade from 8.04 hardy
[22:19] <lenswipe> to the latest version
[22:19] <mgv2> nanotube, "sending message faild - error accurd while sending mail - it isnt possible to connect server smtp.gawa..... by starttls because it doesnt offer starttls in ehlo response - make sure the accunt settings correct"
[22:19] <lenswipe> will it wipe the filesystem like the previous ones did?
[22:20] <Guest32172> hellow help
[22:20] <mgmuscari> lenswipe: i had a gross experience with my X server when doing that
[22:20] <nanotube> mgv2: well... you can always use the built-in CLI tool "shred"... :)
[22:20] <seil> is there yahoo messenger for ubuntu? not pidgin
[22:20] <lenswipe> mgmuscari: doing what?
[22:20] <Guest32172> como instalo o prog amsn com extensão bz2
[22:20] <mgmuscari> lenswipe: ended up wiping the whole drive and repartitioning anyway
[22:20] <robbmunson> lenswipe, it shouldnt wipe the FS....
[22:20] <mgmuscari> lenswipe: 8.04->9.04
[22:20] <WanHouse> lenswipe: GUI access ? Only the client needs a desktop, the computer connected to does not.
[22:20] <stlsaint> seil, you use yahoo thru pidgin
[22:20] <lenswipe> WanHouse: i know..
[22:20] <WanHouse> ok
[22:20] <nanotube> mgv2: well, looks like that smtp server you are connecting to doesn't support tls. are you sure that is unusual? maybe you are connecting to the wrong port or the wrong server? or maybe the server just isn't configured to support tls
[22:21] <bikedude880> So, 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] <lenswipe> WanHouse: someone told me to do something which needed a gui, i dont have gui access so i couldnt do it :)
[22:21] <seil> stlsaint pidgin doesnt have webcam
[22:21] <robbmunson> mgmuscari, probably because 9.04 uses a different FS altogether? (cant remember if 9.04 is the one with ext4)
[22:21] <mgmuscari> lenswipe: 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 manually
[22:21] <mgmuscari> robbmunson: 9.04 has ext4 support but i don't think you have to use it...
[22:21] <mgmuscari> i'm still using ext3
[22:21] <sburwood> can anyone quickly tell me if there will be a 9.10 version of Ubuntu?
[22:21] <stlsaint> seil, true...never use webcam myself...sorry
[22:21] <lenswipe> mgmuscari: its a server so im not fussed about X - its a servr
[22:21] <lenswipe> server*
[22:22] <{Onyx}> Isn't 9.10 already out?
[22:22] <stlsaint> sburwood, yes...its called karmic
[22:22] <nanotube> sburwood: yes. in the next version..
[22:22] <lstarnes> sburwood: yes, and it will be released next month
[22:22] <nanotube> !karmic | sburwood
[22:22] <lenswipe> can i put forward an idea?
[22:22] <lstarnes> sburwood: ubuntu makes a new release approximately every 6 months
[22:22] <lenswipe> when they get to P in the ubuntu releases they should do "pervy penguin"
[22:22] <WanHouse> lenswipe: The term "Cant use a gui" could be more revealing, perhaps. (cat /etc/ubuntu/fedora/debian/etc/-release)
[22:22] <mgmuscari> lenswipe: there's a page somewhere describing the naming convention haha
[22:22] <sburwood> ok, because no mention on www.ubuntu.com
[22:23] <nanotube> lenswipe: heh
[22:23] <robbmunson> !naming > robbmunson
[22:23] <mgv2> nanotube, it should work - ive just reconfigured it after installing ubuntu from the beggining - ive found the configuring instructions on another website thought
[22:23] <robbmunson> didnt think that was it but yeah :)
[22:23] <{Onyx}> Karmic Koala, sweet name. I've always thought that if reincarnation was true that the Koala was the top of the karmic ladder?
[22:23] <{Onyx}> Oops, that was supposed to be a .
[22:23] <mgmuscari> koalas are mean
[22:23] <lenswipe> WanHouse: please try listen to what i said, someone tried to help me by telling me to click on the system menu to find out what version of ubuntu i had, im running a server so i dont have access to the GUI, so i had to tell them i couldnt do it.... thats all....
[22:23] <{Onyx}> Only if you bother them :)
[22:23] <WanHouse> lenswipe: cat /etc/(ubuntu/fedora/debian/etc/)-release .. clarification. "uname -a" is also nice etc
[22:24] <lenswipe> WanHouse: at which point they gave me the command for it -SOLVED-
[22:24] <WanHouse> enswipe: excellent
[22:24]  * bikedude880 goes to figure out how to keep from having a mouse hooked up to his DVR /just/ for clicking the close button on the update manager >.<
[22:24] <mgv2> nanotube, i solved it by changing the port to default - thanks
[22:25] <lenswipe> WanHouse: but like i said my issue wasnt that i didnt have GUI access, my issue was something else but because this is a server i was unable to follow someones instructions which were oriented around the GUI....
[22:25] <{Onyx}> Bike, in system keyboard settings you can make the arrow keys control the mouse
[22:25] <nanotube> mgv2: did you set the settings as per this: http://www.gawab.com/portal/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=45
[22:25] <lenswipe> afk
[22:25] <nanotube> mgv2: ah, well, ok. :)
[22:25] <m3F> hi
[22:25] <WanHouse> lenswipe: Yeah
[22:25] <bikedude880> {Onyx}: Unfortunately, it's a DVR... no keyboard either
[22:25] <{Onyx}> O, a real dvr.
[22:26] <{Onyx}> Thought you rigged up a computer to be a dvr.
[22:26] <m3F> does anybody could tell me how in the heck can i move a table in Ooo?
[22:26] <bikedude880> Trying to keep Update Manager from stealing focus
[22:26] <bikedude880> {Onyx}: I did >.o

[22:26] <mgv2> nanotube, the link doesnt showing the right article though - the right one isnt availble
[22:26] <bikedude880> Rather not have a custom irexec command and button just for closing a single window...
[22:27] <bikedude880> I really want to disable Update Manager from ever stealing focus
[22:27] <bikedude880> Changing it via gconf isn't doing it
[22:27] <mgv2> nanotube, do you know how can i install the spell check for xchat while the hebrew settings are on? it is checked but not working
[22:27] <nanotube> mgv2: well, you solved it, so it's all good. :) but it says: Gawab outgoing mail server (SMTP/SSL) is: plus.gawab.com port 465
[22:27] <{Onyx}> No clue, not something I've messed with yet.
[22:27] <defdef> In regards to Ubuntu NetworkManager VPN client, the help page says this: "I could not connect to a Windows VPN (PPTP) unless I manually set the MTU and MRU to 1500.

[22:28] <ChewyGals> who chat with me just now? i got dc
[22:28] <bikedude880> defdef: Perhaps through ifconfig?
[22:28] <nanotube> mgv2: in edit -> preferences -> spellchecking ->  you have hebrew checked?
[22:28] <mgv2> nanotube, i think my server is different from this but the article isnt shown by the way
[22:28] <WanHouse> HomeBrew! ? :)
[22:29] <mgv2> nanotube, its checked but not working and there is not spell check at right click nor the red line corrections

[22:35] <dabukalam> hi all how can i see the list of apps that startup with ubuntu from a cli?
[22:36] <mgmuscari> bikedude880: why don't you disable auto update in synaptic
[22:36] <bikedude880> Yeah... it's not enabled in gconf, not enabled in session startup... where else can I tell this thing to-- I'll try that...
[22:37] <mgmuscari> dabukalam: look in /etc/init.d/ i guess
[22:37] <mgmuscari> bikedude880: try installing the updates it wants to give oyu
[22:37] <mgmuscari> bikedude880: then restarting... see if it comes back
[22:37] <nks_> Hello All ! I'm hoping that I'm asking the right question in the right forum ! But would anyone happen to know what PUA.Script.Packed-2 is ?
[22:38] <bikedude880> I've had it show up with 0 updates available...
[22:38] <bikedude880> And it's disabled in Synaptic
[22:38] <mgmuscari> hm
[22:38] <FiReSTaRT> is this channel the right place to get support for setting up grub?
[22:38] <marcelus> I have three computers hooked up to a d-link router. Each being assigned a set ip address. Two receiving its ip and whatnot through dhcp and having access to the WAN. The third gets its ip but won't even respond to a ping. The routing table it empty. What can be the problem?
[22:38] <bedrift901> anyone install cinelerra on jaunty? gives errors now can't uninstall properly
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> marcelus: all wired or wireless?
[22:39] <marcelus> ActionParsnip: wired
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> marcelus: try switching the one thats bad into a port no one that you KNOW works
[22:39] <FiReSTaRT> ok my buddy installed ubuntu over an xp partition and has win 7 on another hard drive.. grub can't see it.. here's the link to the relevant part of fdisk -l output and the menu.lst entry.. http://pastebin.com/d3cfc0ca8 any ideas?
[22:40] <Hansard> Does ath9k encapsulate or supersede ath5k wireless drivers?
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> marcelus: also make sure the cable is in properly
[22:40] <dabukalam> mgmuscari: how do i then add something to that list from the CLI?
[22:40] <bedrift901> anybody with an amd and got adobe air installed?
[22:41] <testchat> just testing xchat
[22:41] <nanotube> !test | testchat
[22:41] <marcelus> ActionParsnip: no difference. FYI I get "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted"
[22:42] <vge> hello, simple bash problem :) "echo 0x0166f9c7 | wmctrl -i -c", why don't wmctrl accept the the string as paramter?
[22:42] <prince_jammys> vge: you
[22:42] <prince_jammys> vge: you're not supplying it as parameter.
[22:42] <dabukalam> does anyone know how i can add an app to ubuntu's startup from the CLI?
[22:43] <root__> can someone help me setup an ircserver please?
[22:43] <vge> prince_jammys: how do i do it?
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> marcelus: try switching the cable from the bad system to a system that works, checks the cable is good and has no breaks
[22:43] <root__> anyone?
[22:43] <root__> exit
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> !boot | dabukalam
[22:43] <prince_jammys> vge: if it's supposed to be a param, then don't provide it as input.  In ''ls -l'', '-l' is a param.
[22:43] <bikedude880> Damn... I think I've tried almost everything short of uninstalling the notifier
[22:44] <distrohopper> root__: it's a pretty big process to setup an IRC server (properly), you can probably find better help on the web
[22:44] <marcelus> ActionParsnip: the cable worked when I had connected to a ADSL modem before
[22:44] <vge> prince_jammys: do i need to make a bash script out of it to make it work?
[22:45] <CrocoJet> I would like capture sound using gtk-recordmydesktop, but I dont know what put at device sound. Is /dev/dsp ?
[22:45] <marcelus> ActionParsnip: and would it even get its ip if the cable was broken?
[22:45] <Mka> which command can I use in terminal to execute a program or another command at a specified absolute time like executing "ls" at 3h23PM?
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> marcelus: possibly
[22:45] <prince_jammys> vge: i don't know how wmctrl works. I don't have it installed.
[22:45] <testchat> just another test of xchat, trying to change colors!
[22:45] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I had a resolution issue and asked here how to change the settings in xorg and I was told it was a driver with my vid card but turns out it wasnt http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1153437 this fixed the issue
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> marcelus: have the clients connected, reboot, router, reboot clients
[22:46] <U-b-u-n-t-u> just in case someone else has the same issue thats a good answer
[22:46] <dabukalam> ActionParsnip: I don't think that's what i'm looking for. All i want is rhythmbox to open in stuartup. i would normally do it through system>preferences>etc. but i only have ssh access...
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: good to share :)
[22:46] <prince_jammys> vge: wmctrl -i 0xblahblah -c
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> dabukalam: sec, i'll get the command
[22:47] <vge> prince_jammys: but how i give my pipe output to that particular spot?
[22:47] <U-b-u-n-t-u> yeah! now I am at 1680x1050 and ubuntu looks better than windows7 so im happy
[22:48] <prince_jammys> vge: you don't, unless the prog reads from stdin.
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> dabukalam: cd ~/.config/autostart && ln -s /usr/share/applications/rhythmbox.desktop .
[22:48] <prince_jammys> vge: where does the string come from.
[22:48] <vge> prince_jammys: k, ty
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: you can make it look like win7 if yuo like
[22:48] <bikedude880> Running another test...
[22:48] <U-b-u-n-t-u> yeah I have the transparent panels now
[22:48] <prince_jammys> vge: i.e. where do you get the '0x...' from ?
[22:48] <vge> wmctrl -l|grep "Source of:" |sed 's/\(...........\)\(.*\)/\1/'| wmctrl -i -c
[22:48] <Hansard> Why do hardware vendors not open source the drivers for their devices?
[22:49] <U-b-u-n-t-u> looks good
[22:49] <bikedude880> Trade secrets
[22:49] <vge> prince_jammys: closing all firefox source windows ;)
[22:49] <bikedude880> Proprietary protocols
[22:49] <bikedude880> You name it
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> Hansard: so they can charge for support, so they have absolute control
[22:49] <prince_jammys> vge: string=$(somecommand);  wmctrl -i "$string"
[22:49] <Hansard> bikedude880: don't they make money buy selling compatible hardware? How valuable could the drivers be to third party manufacturers?
[22:50] <switchgirl> omg pidgin wont install
[22:50] <switchgirl> http://paste.ubuntu.com/282486/
[22:50] <bikedude880> Hansard: Look at what ActionParsnip said as well
[22:50] <prince_jammys> vge: OR: wmctrl -i "$(somecommand that produces the string)"
[22:50] <J_A_X> anyone know how to get my screen to lock after a resume from sleep mode?
[22:50] <Hansard> ActionParsnip: most hardware vendors don't charge for support, and often waste lots of money on customer support for people trying to install and configure their products.
[22:51] <vge> prince_jammys: ty, works like a charm, i wish id come here sooner :D
[22:51] <Hansard> It's very frustrating that all my devices can work so well in Windows and then suck in linux.
[22:51] <prince_jammys> vge: go to #bash for shell questions.

[22:59] <libtech> pidgin is in the repos correct? why not just use the package manager
[23:00] <AtomicSpark> Yes.

[23:00] <Ingsoc> stlsaint: no os is installed on the 2nd system currently.
[23:00] <AtomicSpark> Use the PPA (see !ppa) to have a more recent version of Pidgin that supports Yahoo.

[23:01] <Ingsoc> stlsaint: It's an actual server.
[23:01] <jauntylock> brasileiros ai?
[23:01] <stlsaint> Ingsoc, nice...alright...you plan on putting ubuntu server on there?

[23:07] <cyberiAccela> Howdy #ubuntu. I'm running on an old Thinkpad T42 stuck with an integrated ATI Mobility Radeon 7500. Does anyone know any drivers compatible with this hardware?
[23:07] <distrohopper> how do I enable 'su' on ubuntu?
[23:07] <system404> how to get visual effects working on jaunty it says cant enable visual effects im on a intel chipset 945 or sumfin like that
[23:07] <dholbert> distrohopper, try "sudo su"
[23:08] <system404> need intel chipset 945 display drivers how to please
[23:08] <baggar11> Ingsoc: what part of the vsftpd config do you need help with?
[23:08] <dholbert> distrohopper, "su" means "switch to root, after I type in root password"
[23:08] <distrohopper> thanks dholbert
[23:08] <dholbert> distrohopper, "sudo su" lets you type your own password instead
[23:08] <dholbert> no prob
[23:08] <system404> need intel chipset 945 display drivers how to please
[23:09] <m3F> :S
[23:09] <system404> ne1 please
[23:09] <dholbert> system404, asking the same question over and over isn't going to help
[23:09] <nanotube> distrohopper: instead of "sudo su", try "sudo -i" to generate an interactive root session.
[23:09] <distrohopper> system404: please give people a chance to answer
[23:09] <cyberiAccela> Please don't repeat your question every few seconds
[23:10] <system404> sorry guys just wanted to make sure nobody missed it
[23:10] <dholbert> nanotube, nice, I didn't know about sudo -i
[23:10] <cyberiAccela> system404: You might also try the ubuntu forums.
[23:10] <nanotube> dholbert: it's the "sanctioned" way to get a root shell. :)
[23:11] <system404> i asked in here before last time i tried ubuntu and got answer so thought best to ask in here again
[23:11] <cyberiAccela> system404: http://ubuntuforums.org/
[23:11] <system404> i know there is a package i need to download but its bn a while so cant member wat it was
[23:12] <dholbert> system404, search synaptic for "945"?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> dholbert: you can also use su to switch to a non root user
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> dholbert: su foo will make the terminal be running as foo
[23:13] <dholbert> ActionParsnip, yup, I was just answering the question "how do I make su work"
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> dholbert: just advise sudo -s  job done
[23:14] <joaopinto> , !root is even better :)
[23:14] <nanotube> system404: maybe  xserver-xorg-video-intel

I play Pokemon Platinum online, and I'd like to record my battles and post them. But the only DS emulator I can find for Ubuntu, doesn't load saved games. I can load save games with no$gba, the emulator for Windows, but the desktop recorders won't cooperate with it. Can anyone help me?
[23:15] <Josesordo> someone can help me? .. I want to install SMILE 0.9.1.4 but is in .tar.gz and not deb..so how install that ?

[23:21] <ezhangin> hey so my ubuntu server just stopped booting
[23:21] <ezhangin> entirely
[23:21] <JoshDreamland> I tried to do my homework, with little luck
[23:21] <{PS}Fableflame> Libtech, that's not helpful
[23:21] <ezhangin> it does do verifying DMI pools in the bios
[23:21] <ezhangin> but then it doesn't do anything
[23:21] <JoshDreamland> My mouse wheel scrolls backwards when I roll it fast
[23:22] <ezhangin> any idea?
[23:22] <JoshDreamland> The closest thing I came to a lead on the problem was this snippet:
[23:22] <seil> anyone used gyachi(yahoo messenger) alternative for linux.. I wonder if its safe?
[23:22] <JoshDreamland> If 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] <{PS}Fableflame> There obviously isn't any help here.
[23:22] <libtech> {PS}Fableflame: i dont know if you will get any help here, since video game pirating is against the rules
[23:22] <JoshDreamland> {PS}Fableflame: What's the problem?
[23:23] <JoshDreamland> ahahaha, what's he trying to do?
[23:23] <{PS}Fableflame> Hey guys, I'm having a problem recording videos from my desktop so I can post them on Youtube.

I can load save games with no$gba, the emulator for Windows, but the desktop recorders won't cooperate with it. Can anyone help me?
[23:23] <JoshDreamland> Have you tried NO$ in Wine?
[23:23] <JoshDreamland> I almost can't imagine it working, but, worth a shot
[23:23] <{PS}Fableflame> Yes
[23:24] <{PS}Fableflame> It didn't.
[23:24] <Nattgew> I have an expresscard compact flash reader. I got it to work once before, I think I have to load a module. I found a site that suggested modprobe pciehp, but it said that module was not found.
[23:24] <JoshDreamland> Did it even load?
[23:24] <{PS}Fableflame> I believe I said that.
[23:24] <ezhangin> any idea why this thing won't boot short of a drive failure?
[23:24] <ezhangin> doubt the drive is bad
[23:24] <cyberiAccela> Fable: Also, you really need to allow people time to respond. You shouldn't send the same question every couple of minutes.
[23:24] <{PS}Fableflame> It loads the card but the desktop recorder won't work with no$gba

[23:25] <vrtak-cz> hi all
[23:25] <vrtak-cz> What time released karmic beta? Which has come today (I am EST - UTC +1)
[23:25] <{PS}Fableflame> wtf
[23:25] <{PS}Fableflame> anyway, it doesn't record
[23:25] <{PS}Fableflame> it says it runs into a problem
[23:25] <htorres11393> the only think i can think of biznock is trying to make it a cd instead
[23:25] <JoshDreamland> And this is an Ubuntu desktop recorder?
[23:25] <{PS}Fableflame> Yes
[23:25] <biznock09> no cd drive either
[23:26] <htorres11393> then put it on a flash drive and take it to one that has it
[23:26] <JoshDreamland> I'm not sure I understand, then. The emulator is working, but you can't record at all?
[23:26] <htorres11393> or better yet
[23:26] <htorres11393> make a boot flash drive
[23:26] <Bloxxy> what dvd maker do you guyssuggest I use for .mkv files? The .mkv files have .SSA (.a$$) subtitles inside of them, and I would like them rendered as such
[23:26] <{PS}Fableflame> nope
[23:26] <biznock09> t
[23:26] <biznock09> how do you do that
[23:26] <JoshDreamland> This is why I hate English. I assume by nope, you mean I was correct
[23:27] <biznock09> but with all the info on my factory dvd
[23:27] <htorres11393> ok you need to make your flash drive bootable
[23:27] <{PS}Fableflame> Lol yes, you were correct.
[23:27] <JoshDreamland> A lot of things for Ubuntu have 1,000 alternatives, each working about 25%, but a different 25% each one
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> JoshDreamland: try recordmydesktop
[23:27] <htorres11393> then once you make a bootable partition on it you stick the iso on it
[23:27] <JoshDreamland> the trick is to find the right one.
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> JoshDreamland: just like any OS
[23:28] <{PS}Fableflame> Already tried it. It records but it's crappy quality.
[23:28] <JoshDreamland> {PS}Fableflame: Do what ActionParsnip says
[23:28] <{PS}Fableflame> When I use recordmydesktop it's more like it took several screenshots instead of a video.
[23:28] <ezhangin> ugh i'm not even getting to grub, i don't see why this would happen all of a sudden
[23:28] <JoshDreamland> If I remember correctly, No$ doesn't have a built in recorder, either
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> {PS}Fableflame: did you edit the settings better?
[23:28] <htorres11393> see you biznock hope it helped
[23:28] <ezhangin> the last thing i did was create a raid-5 array with mdadm separate from the boot drive
[23:29] <{PS}Fableflame> wait
[23:29] <{PS}Fableflame> recordmydesktop is the one that isn't working at all. I also tried istanbull, and it's the one that looked like it took several screenshots
[23:30] <JoshDreamland> I'd like to resubmit my own question at this point; does anyone know how I can get Ubuntu to parse mouse wheel feedback correctly? Currently it scrolls backwards if I roll it too fast.
[23:30] <biznock09> how do you make a flash drive bootale
[23:30] <biznock09> bootable
[23:31] <JoshDreamland> biznock09: With Ubuntu, or your own program?
[23:31] <biznock09> ubuntu
[23:31] <biznock09> and with windows
[23:31] <biznock09> i have them in dvd and cd formats now
[23:31] <biznock09> but no drive
[23:31] <biznock09> so i need them to be on usbs
[23:32] <JoshDreamland> Not going to happen with Windows. Unless you mean using Windows.
[23:32] <JoshDreamland> WOAH. Didn't see that coming.
[23:32] <daveycal1> hey i am having sound problems, but only with one user

[23:54] <losher> jakerue: a 'chuck'?
[23:54] <teolicy> stlsaint: Mostly. I don't really mind doing the vi/shell deal required by the instructions, but I thought 9.04 came with something automatic (read: a checkbox) to do that. Shan't there be an easier way? Was there one that I overlooked during the install?
[23:54] <jakerue> losher - should read 'chunk'
[23:55] <tehbaut> is there no kbd cmd to wake up the cumputer after accidentally hiiting the sleep button?
