[00:00] <beruchti2te> ubuntu9.10 is not as good as archlinux
[00:01] <DaZ> beruchti2te: so?
[00:01] <RhysM> beruch dont use it then
[00:01] <shavinder> beruchtigte: how so? I would like to know more please
[00:01] <Chousuke> :P
[00:01] <Chousuke> It's a troll, ignore it.
[00:02] <beruchti2te> shavinder: too complex for me
[00:02] <shavinder> I like to try all linuxes, I use ubuntu as well as Puppy linux, I like ubuntu for its widespread package support and for being a full installation, and i love puppy for it brevity and speed(it runs faster than light) :)
[00:02] <Chousuke> this is not the place for discussing distribution differences, anyway
[00:03] <Chousuke> Move to #ubuntu-offtopic, if you please.
[00:03] <Chousuke> And I'm sorry for the accidental alliteration ;(
[00:03] <shavinder> Chousuke: cheers
[00:06] <xguru> anyone familiar with rygel?
[00:07] <Cojimero> hi everyone
[00:07] <gartral> quick question, does ubuntu 9.10 have the same 64bit corruption problems as 9.04?
[00:08] <xguru> gartral: ask in #ubuntu+1
[00:08] <jrib> gartral: in the sense that neither have 64bit corruption problems you mean?  What are you talking about?
[00:09] <ejdo> how many different #ubuntu-XXXXX chatrooms are there?
[00:09] <jrib> !irc > ejdo
[00:09] <gartral> jrib: im talking about the people who are having issues with their file system on 64 bit jaunty
[00:09] <jrib> gartral: bug link?
[00:09] <Cojimero> hey question ubuntu 9.10 beta is giving me a problem with the authentication ..every time I try to change something... it pop up the authentication window but is not working
[00:10] <jrib> !karmic | Cojimero
[00:10] <gartral> jrib: all i've ever seen was in here "my raid crashed and all my data was lost"
[00:10] <jrib> gartral: right...
[00:10] <Cojimero> any idea
[00:10] <tpocra> How can I best make an ubuntu live CD from a .iso when I am running Debian?
[00:10] <tpocra> An bootable USB drive I mean
[00:10] <IdleOne> !usb
[00:11] <tpocra> does Ubuntu's usb-creator work on Debian?
[00:11] <gartral> jrib: please, can  get a constructive answer? i dont want to have to repartition my drives any time soon
[00:11] <IdleOne> gartral: I think jrib is looking for evidence to your claim before trying to help solve any issue
[00:11] <ejdo> tpocra: you can extract the image onto usb then apply syslinux
[00:11] <tma> exit
[00:12] <ejdo> the bootloader
[00:12] <dewman> I have a hard drive that I can see on my ata card...But when ubuntu oots it says something about revalidation failed? For some reason it cant see that drive. Is there a log that I can look at to see why or what it is doing?
[00:13] <dewman> opps. Boots
[00:13] <tpocra> ejdo: Do you know how I could customize what packages are installed as well as preserving desktop settings, not only across boots off the USB medium
[00:13] <jrib> gartral: and even more simply than that: what are you actually claiming?  "64bit corruption" is terribly vague.  Find a bug report about the issue you are talking about at bugs.ubuntu.com
[00:13] <tpocra> but also installing those package changes
[00:14] <tpocra> and settings when installing ubuntu?"
[00:14] <Splendid> how to kill screen program
[00:14] <Splendid> with deatached sessions?
[00:15] <Splendid> anyone?
[00:15] <gartral> jrib: sorry for not having my own homework done, but i hear that after running 64 bit jaunty for a few days, it will eventually curropt the partition on the drives
[00:15] <SeaPhor> IdleOne, you have any experience with connecting ubuntu to a cisco router via db9-eth and console cable, the app to use to console in?
[00:15] <IdleOne> SeaPhor: none at all
[00:16] <SeaPhor> k, tks anyway IdleOne
[00:16] <gartral> bugs.ubuntu.com just 404ed on me
[00:16] <IdleOne> probably a 64bit corruption
[00:17] <IdleOne> loads fine here
[00:17] <jrib> gartral: again, hear from whom exactly?  fwiw, I've been running 64bit ubuntu since dapper without any issue like that...
[00:17] <gartral> jrib: alright, thanks
[00:17] <gartral> jrib: bugs.ubuntu.com is 404'ing on me
[00:17] <SeaPhor> jrib,  you have any experience with connecting ubuntu to a cisco router via db9-eth and console cable, the app to use to console in?

[00:24] <gtech> Hey I'm trying to figure out why gettext won't make, I just put the errors in pastebin
[00:24] <jrib> SeaPhor: probably better to use bash, since ubuntu's sh is dash by default

[00:26] <jrib> gtech: erm, gettext is in the repositories, don't compile it
[00:26] <SeaPhor> shavinder, did you use the cmd like : useradd -ggroupname -s/bin/false(if u dont want them to have ssh) -ppassword-d/path/to/home/dir -m username
[00:26] <gtech> jrib: repositories?
[00:26] <jrib> !software > gtech
[00:26] <djbpython> SeaPhor, that did the trick
[00:27] <jrib> gtech: yes, the standard way to install software on ubuntu is through APT!
[00:27] <jrib> djbpython: your file probably wasn't executable
[00:27] <gtech> awesome, thanks
[00:27] <meanieface> why would you be compiling stuff when you don't know what repository is?
[00:27] <djbpython> jrib, how do I make it executable
[00:27] <djbpython> I have !/bin/bash
[00:27] <SeaPhor> gotcha jrib, i just noticed i had to use that on ubuntu as i do the "./" at work with SLED,,,
[00:27] <jrib> !permissions > djbpython
[00:28] <jrib> djbpython: basically: chmod +x myscript.sh
[00:28] <djbpython> jrib, oh ah ok thanks
[00:28] <shavinder> SeaPhor: I think I just did useradd and then it prompted me for password and other data like room no, telephone etc. After that a home directory got created in the Homes by the same name as the user i created. SO i assumed everything went correct. Should I use the command as you just showed?
[00:28] <xim_> is there an ubuntu program to attempt to recover deleted files from ntfs?
[00:29] <xim_> or linux
[00:29] <LjL> !testdisk | xim_ this probably doesn't care about the filesystem
[00:29] <LjL> !info testdisk | xim_ this probably doesn't care about the filesystem
[00:29] <LjL> but still, you're more likely to have luck with a Windows program, i suspect

[00:31] <mneptok> walkinginLA: one thing's for sure you aren't starring in the movies 'cause you're ....
[00:34] <CaptainMorgan> I was looking at some themes over at gnome-look.org and I'd like to post this picture, there's no nudity but some might consider it on the racy side... my main question concerns how to get the systems statistics are on display in this pic? http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=71126&file1=71126-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=UbuntuGirl&PHPSESSID=78f0669dea474dad727e37a6e93fa954
[00:35] <CaptainMorgan> can anyone point me to where I can get system stats like that... and I'm assuming they run in real-time
[00:35] <jrib> CaptainMorgan: conky
[00:35] <CaptainMorgan> jrib, conky?
[00:35] <jrib> CaptainMorgan: yes, conky
[00:35] <CaptainMorgan> oh... great, I just did a quick search... wasn't sure at first what you meant, thanks!
[00:35] <jrib> CaptainMorgan: it's in the repositories and there are tons of guides
[00:36] <boscop> I installed msttcorefonts, but they don't show up in the fonts list after restarting OO!
[00:37] <xim_> how can i tell what kernel im using?
[00:37] <jrib> xim_: uname -a
[00:38] <shavinder> I confirmed that I used "adduser" command to create users on my ubuntu server. In order to share their home directories do i need to do anything other than what is mentioned here https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileprint-security.html ?
[00:44] <CaptainMorgan> jrib, are you familiar with conky or lua5.1? after I try to run the configure script (since the repos only have v1.5, and I can get v1.72 of conky), it says I need lua5.1 >= , so I use Synaptic to get liblua 5.1 and lua5.1 along with any dependencies... then I go back to the configure script and it's still saying that lua5.1 is missing...
[00:45] <jrib> CaptainMorgan: I would recommend you just use the version in the repositorie
[00:45] <jrib> s
[00:46] <trism> CaptainMorgan: just need to sudo apt-get install conky
[00:48] <mneptok> CaptainMorgan: you need liblua-dev
[00:48]  * Dibblah wonders why the UK gets "Isle of Man time"
[00:48] <mneptok> CaptainMorgan: the development libraries against which programs link are seperate packages
[00:48] <MythBork> Hey all, if I made a dd copy of a disk to a file, can I mount it with the mount loop option? I dd'd the entire drive which has several partitions
[00:48] <CaptainMorgan> thank you mneptok
[00:49] <MythBork> mount loop isn't working so far, and is saying bad fs type
[00:49] <dajhorn> MythBork: Yes, but you need to call losetup with the offset for each filesystem in the raw image.
[00:49] <Delryk> can anyone help me with using grep in terminal ?
[00:49] <jrib> !ask | Delryk
[00:50] <dajhorn> MythBork: Use a utility like fdisk to read the partition table from the dd image and get an offset for the filesystem that you want to mount.
[00:50] <jrib> Delryk: grep --help | grep Usage
[00:51] <Delryk> jrib how can i use grep to search for lines in a text file that contain exactly one vowel?
[00:51] <dajhorn> Delryk: That sounds like a homework question.
[00:51] <PacketCollision> Delryk: try reading basic regex howtos
[00:51] <jrib> Delryk: learn about character classes
[00:51] <Delryk> yeah i have been doing this for about 10 hours -.-
[00:52] <jrib> Delryk: start by searching just for lines that contain exactly one 'a' then
[00:52] <kilo> is anyone familiar with how to recovery partial (or complete) files from corrupted folder on a windows drive, connected via USB? The filesystem is still in tact and I can see the root files of the windows directory, but I cannot see or access the folder in question... I'm assuming it's flagged as either deleted or corrupt upon mounting (I'm running 9.04).
[00:52] <boscop> I installed msttcorefonts, but they don't show up in the fonts list even after restarting open office writer!
[00:52] <Delryk> jrib i dont even know how to search for lines that contain exactly one 'a' do i have to use {n,m} ?
[00:53] <boscop> how can I decompress uif and daa files??
[00:53] <jrib> Delryk: did you learn about character classes yet?
[00:53] <Delryk> no
[00:53] <jrib> Delryk: that will probably help you
[00:54] <Delryk> like this: [a,e,i,o,u] ?
[00:54] <jrib> Delryk: that would include ','...
[00:54] <jrib> I think?
[00:54] <Dibblah> [aeiou]
[00:54] <MythBork> dajhorn, I found the partition I want is /media/sdb1/sysdisk.102109bak.iso2 according to fdisk. the losetup man file isn't very helpful. How to I feed that into the mount command to get it to mount?
[00:54] <PacketCollision> Delryk: http://marvin.cs.uidaho.edu/~heckendo/Handouts/regex.html
[00:54] <jdoghacker> hey how would you enable wireless networking on a laptop with a built in wireless card with ubuntu linux
[00:55] <jrib> Dibblah: now learn how to invert character classes
[00:55] <beruchti2te> [aeiou] in python
[00:55] <Dibblah> jrib: [^...]
[00:55] <jrib> Dibblah: that should be helpful...
[00:55] <MythBork> jdoghacker, network manager
[00:55] <jdoghacker> ok let me get there
[00:55] <mankash> captainMorgan: are you there?
[00:56] <CaptainMorgan> yes mankash , may I ask why?
[00:56] <brian1> how do you view ubuntu files in windows?
[00:56] <Dibblah> s/ (.) (.) / \2 \1 / - reorder two characters, seperated by spaces.
[00:56] <Dibblah> Or boobies.
[00:56] <X7> I have an old pc I use a media server (currently windows) does ubuntu play well with an old Geforce 2, cant find it on the hardware compat list???
[00:56] <brian1> how do you view ubuntu files in windows?
[00:57] <jrib> PacketCollision: do you have a solution using regex, I'm curious if yours is more effecient (I'll pm you mine)
[00:57] <mankash> I checked the pic you posted: how to configure ubuntu for that nice lookking icons at the bottom
[00:57] <Dibblah> Regex efficiency differs with the tool you use.
[00:57] <trism> jrib: I got one, hehe
[00:57] <Delryk> jrib. can u point me in some direction ?
[00:57] <X7> I have an old pc I use a media server (currently windows) does ubuntu play well with an old Geforce 2, cant find it on the hardware compat list???
[00:57] <mankash> captainmorgan: I checked the pic you posted: how to configure ubuntu for that nice lookking icons at the bottom
[00:57] <Dibblah> ^^^ - That's called up.
[00:58] <jrib> Dibblah: I didn't mean efficient computationally
[00:58] <jrib> Dibblah: I guess I meant "elegant"
[00:58] <CaptainMorgan> mankash, don't know - I'm busy trying to set up the stats to the right of the pic
[00:58] <jrib> Delryk: I thought I did
[00:58] <mankash> ok
[00:58] <gtech> how do i find a listing of what devices are on what ports?
[00:59] <Deevz> Hey folks!
[00:59] <n8tuser> gtech-> lsusb  and try lshw too
[00:59] <olym> Hi there.
[00:59] <vasser> hello
[00:59] <vasser> anyone here uses gparted ?
[00:59] <olym> I have a quick question.
[00:59] <Deevz> Oh haha, wrong channel >.>
[00:59] <vasser> i could use some help with it
[01:00] <Delryk> jrib i have learned regex so far. what i dont know how to do is specify that my regex may only occur once
[01:00] <gtech> kickass, thanks n8tuser
[01:00] <olym> Does ubunut offer any support for touch screen computers?
[01:00] <Flannel> olym: Yes
[01:00] <olym> Flannel: Which ones? I have a Latitude XT
[01:00] <kilo> Is anyone familiar with data recovery on an NTFS drive through ubuntu?
[01:00] <Flannel> olym: I don't know
[01:01] <olym> Flannel: Do you know where I might need to check?
[01:01] <jrib> Delryk: well you have to think of it like this: [match a bunch of stuff that is not an a] [match a single a] [match a bunch of stuff that is not an a]
[01:01] <Dibblah> kilo: Do you have a backup of the drive?
[01:01] <X7> I have an old pc I use a media server (currently windows) does ubuntu play well with an old Geforce 2, cant find it on the hardware compat list???
[01:01] <Dibblah> If not, take one.
[01:01] <Flannel> olym: google (your laptop model and ubuntu) also, a nice way to check is trying a liveCD (but it might not work ot of the box, you might need to fiddle/enable/whatever stuff)
[01:02] <kilo> Dibblah, no, it's for a client. I only have the original drive.
[01:02] <Dibblah> X7: Try a netboot CD.
[01:02] <olym> Flannel: Alright. Thanks for your help. I appreciate ti.
[01:02] <kilo> Dibblah, if I had a backup, I'd probably just restore it at this point...
[01:02] <olym> it*
[01:02] <X7> Dibblah, live cd?
[01:02] <Dibblah> Err... Try a live CD, even :)
[01:02] <Delryk> jrib: ok. so [^a][a][^a]   ?
[01:02] <CaptainMorgan> jrib, the updated version and configuring it was very worth it :)
[01:02] <Dibblah> kilo: I mean take a backup before fiddling with it ;)
[01:02] <X7> Dibblah, this pc has usb boot. i can use the startup disk thingy even i think.
[01:03] <jrib> Delryk: sure, that's a start.  Now run some examples and see if that does what you want (it doesn't exactly).  Use "grep --color=auto"
[01:03] <geneticx> sup you all
[01:03] <kilo> Dibblah, ahh.... no I have only run chkdsk from the command prompt and that's it.
[01:03] <trism> Delryk: you forgot the bunch of stuff of what jrib said
[01:03] <Dibblah> That's a bad plan.
[01:04] <Dibblah> chkdsk can completely ruin a recoverable drive.
[01:04] <Dibblah> Like I said, take an image of the disk FIRST.
[01:04] <Dibblah> Then only work on the image.
[01:04] <jrib> Delryk: the --color/auto option will show you exactly what grep is matching
[01:04] <Dibblah> What are you trying to recover?
[01:04] <jrib> =auto
[01:04] <kilo> Dibblah, fortunately, it found no bad sectors. I really don't even think the drive is recoverable: It's having delayed write failures
[01:05] <Delryk> ok jrib can u give me an example of how i would search for lets say z in file1.txt ?
[01:05] <Dibblah> Are you trying to recover data off it, or just repair it?
[01:05] <Delryk> oh i got it
[01:05] <kilo> Dibblah, also I told it not to fix... only to report. I ran it based on another root, so it never booted from the drive (although the drive is bootable)
[01:05] <KnifeySpooney> Using usb-imagewriter, is it possible to write a Mac OS X install iso to a usb drive?
[01:05] <jrib> Delryk: well for testing let's just pipe to grep.  So for example: echo abcad | grep --color=auto '[^a][a][^a]'
[01:06] <KnifeySpooney> my friend has a legit copy of mac os x but no dvd drive
[01:06] <Dibblah> jrib: That's grep version dependent.
[01:06] <OerHeks> olyn : this guy has written a howto > http://www.mayrhofer.eu.org/Default.aspx?pageid=77
[01:06] <Dibblah> grep -E should force regexes to work.
[01:06] <jrib> Dibblah: this is #ubuntu, I'm assuming default grep behavior on ubuntu
[01:06] <kilo> Dibblah, gonna examine it with autopsy and see what pops up
[01:06] <Delryk> sorry jrib i dont know echo or how it works i do know the pipe though
[01:07] <Delryk> and i dont need to use the pipe its a simple 6 line .txt
[01:07] <Dibblah> Yeah, but good habits are good habits ;)
[01:07] <jrib> Delryk: echo foo just spits back foo.  We're testing your command with it
[01:08] <Delryk> ok i getting that jrib
[01:08] <Delryk> the only thing i dont know how to do is as for it once only
[01:08] <jrib> Dibblah: fair enough :)
[01:08] <KnifeySpooney> Does UNetBootin write only Linux images, or can it write usb images of Mac install discs?
[01:09] <kristian_> hi, just installed ubuntu 9.4
[01:10] <kristian_> after I got my (AMD) graphics working, the sound is very slow and I hear a clicking noise
[01:10] <jrib> Delryk: see how your suggestion works on some examples and how you can fix it
[01:11] <Kajros1> Anyone running Ubuntu netbook Remix having issues with videos on youtube and such to play?
[01:11] <thedude42> kristian_, clicking most often indicates disk problems
[01:11] <eein> is pulse known to have problems with eeepc's?  i do not hear any sound on my 1000h with Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[01:11] <eein> is pulseaudio installed by default on 9.04
[01:11] <thedude42> yes
[01:11] <kristian_> thedude42, I did not have these problems five minutes ago
[01:12] <KnifeySpooney> Will a USB drive be bootable if I convert a .iso to a .img file?
[01:12] <Rick_> greetings all. I have an issue with perl and portable ubuntu
[01:12] <fuzzybunny> Hi does anyone know anything about fixing assocations in Ubuntu. Sometimes when I double click on html files they don't open in firefox and plain text files just don't launch anything
[01:12] <Delryk> jrib im looking at an example it says 'a\{2,3\}' i know what the 2,3 does but what does the \ do ?
[01:12] <Rick_> I see that the installed version iv 5.8.8 i486
[01:12] <Rick_> can this be updated or changed to i386?
[01:13] <trism> fuzzybunny: right click on the file (witht he format you want to change associations), Properties/Open With tab
[01:13] <Voss> I was shocked totem actually worked!
[01:13] <Flannel> Delryk: in "real" regexp a{2,3} means "from two to three of 'a'"  the \ are just to escape the {}s to protect them from bash or whatever. (just a construct of the program you're using)
[01:13] <jrib> Delryk: what you've written matches aa or aaa, that's just the syntax for it.  Sometimes, depending on where you are using the regex, you'll need to escape things like braces so they are treated as special and not just matched in the text
[01:13] <thedude42> Flannel, only if by 'real' you mean Perl Regular Expressions
[01:14] <Rick_> perl -pi -e 's/\s+$//' file.txt should remove all trailing white spaces from lines in text file but it just blows the file out. This works fine on RHEL
[01:14] <jrib> the only thing i hate about regex is that there are a million different kinds...
[01:14] <Rick_> anybody know why and what to do?
[01:14] <KnifeySpooney> Will a USB drive be bootable if I convert a .iso to a .img file?
[01:15] <eein> how do i determine if pulseaudio is the source of my problem?
[01:15] <Flannel> KnifeySpooney: Do you have a recent Ubuntu system somewhere? (even if its a liveCD)?
[01:15] <fcuk112_> eein: have you played around with alsamixer?
[01:15] <jrib> Rick_: "blows the file out"?
[01:16] <Rick_> empties it of all tett
[01:16] <Rick_> text
[01:16] <KnifeySpooney> Flannel: Yes, I'm using one right now. The OS I want to convert from iso to img is Mac though (need to install via usb)
[01:16] <Rick_> zero in the file
[01:16] <KnifeySpooney> I'm using karmic beta.
[01:16] <Ruge> Whats the best way for me to download and install the nVidia driver for my gfx card?
[01:16] <jrib> Rick_: heh fwiw, here on arch that deletes all trailing white space as well as the final newline of every line
[01:16] <Flannel> KnifeySpooney: You can use the "make a USB bootable something or other" menu item (under system > admin) to make an arbitrary ISO into a bootable USB
[01:16] <KnifeySpooney> Ruge: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
[01:17] <Ruge> cheers
[01:17] <eein> fcuk112_, hmmm im not sure how to open my sound in settings
[01:17] <kilo> how can I find out where the block of data is for a USB drive I've just plugged in?  (/dev/sda???)
[01:17] <eein> nothing pertaining to sound there
[01:17] <Rick_> yeah, I see that.
[01:17] <fcuk112_> eein: type alsamixer in terminal
[01:17] <KnifeySpooney> Ruge: woops.. went off memory. That doesnt seem to be the right one but it's close
[01:17] <Rick_> JRIB - anything i can do or live with it and work this out on RHEL?
[01:17] <KnifeySpooney> Flannel: That works for any OS? Awesome.
[01:18] <jrib> Rick_: you actually want to use perl right?
[01:18] <Delryk> jrib me and my friends have been doing this for hours. like a ridiculous amount of time. the only reason im still doing it is because this course is a $5000 investment..... do you know how to do this ?
[01:18] <Rick_> yes
[01:18] <tech_> does anyone know about gammu or wammu in here?
[01:18] <eein> fcuk112_, ok i have the gui also mixer open
[01:18] <Rick_> have many files to do
[01:18] <Rick_> command line FOR loops are great for this
[01:18] <Rick_> i am not much of a programmer
[01:18] <Flannel> morphias: er, you're trying to install OSX?  I don't know.  You can certainly try it.
[01:18] <KnifeySpooney> Ruge: Sorry, it's actually 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv'
[01:18] <fcuk112_> eein: try to see if any of the volumes are low, if they are increase them with the cursor keys.  esc to exit.
[01:19] <Ruge> ahh, heh, just found an error when i did the 1st command
[01:19] <Ruge> thanks!
[01:19] <gtech> okay lsusb and lshw are nice but they won't tell me the mount point of the device, is there another way?
[01:19] <morphias> Flannel, ???
[01:19] <Rick_> JRIB - I am open to suggestions.
[01:19] <Flannel> morphias: No idea how I managed to highlight you.
[01:19] <eein> fcuk112_, the gain is always low after every boot
[01:19] <morphias> oh ok. lol
[01:19] <jrib> Rick_: well you can just use sed... anyway if I change \s to just ' ' it doesn't remove the final newline
[01:19] <thedude42> gtech, use df -ha
[01:19] <eein> fcuk112_, that seems to be all that is wrong
[01:19] <Rick_> ok - I'll try that.
[01:19] <Rick_> tvm
[01:20] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma desktop headless?
[01:20] <jrib> Rick_: I think sed should accept [[:space:]] to match whitespace
[01:20] <fcuk112_> eein: but you get sound now?
[01:20] <eein> fcuk112_, yes
[01:20] <Rick_> k
[01:20] <eein> but after every reboot it is muted
[01:20] <fcuk112_> eein: strange.
[01:20] <fcuk112_> eein: maybe someone else knows why.
[01:21] <gtech> thedude42: I'm trying to find a USB RFID card reader
[01:22] <thedude42> gtech, ok, well the reason people told you lsusb and lshw is because that will tell you how your system is identifying the devices, but you asked for a mount point just now
[01:22] <crohakon> When I log into my server box it tells me I have x packages can be updated... how do I update them?
[01:22] <gtech> is there a way to find the port that the device is on?
[01:22] <Cyr4x> hi i've got a glx issue
[01:23] <c4pt> how do i connect to a wpa2 enterprise connection with PEAP on ubuntu?
[01:23] <jrib> Rick_: by the way, escaping the + in your original command seems to make it work right here
[01:23] <Cyr4x> glxinfo gives this:
[01:23] <Cyr4x> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[01:23] <Rick_> cool - brb
[01:23] <thedude42> gtech, lsusb tells you the information about what usb devices are connected to your system.... what do you mean exactly by 'the port'.... the full pci path to the device?
[01:23] <Cyr4x> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[01:23] <jrib> Rick_: never mind, I lied
[01:23] <Rick_> lol
[01:23] <Cyr4x> nvidia 185 drivers properly installed
[01:24] <gtech> thedude42: like a path in the filesystem like /dev/tty*
[01:24] <jrib> Rick_: sed -i 's/[[:space:]]\+$//   works alright though
[01:24] <Rick_> k
[01:24] <Rick_> sec
[01:24] <Delryk> List all the lines in the “f3.txt” file that contain words which contain exactly one vowel. can anyone help with this ? using grep
[01:24] <eein> fcuk112_, wtf figured it out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1145603
[01:24] <thedude42> gtech, like all other devices it's in /dev, for usb it will be under /dev/bus/usb
[01:25] <Rick_> Excellent!
[01:25] <Rick_> Thanks so much.
[01:25] <eein> no offense but that is retarted, this was a standard install
[01:25] <eein> the only hing i added was ccsm
[01:25] <gtech> thedude42: great thanks, how do i figure out which device is which?
[01:25] <ziomus> hello guys
[01:26] <ziomus> I need help with samba
[01:26] <OerHeks> c4py select the right SSID in the network list, feed it username/password/certificate and that's it
[01:26] <thedude42> gtech, lsusb tells you that, it says 'Bus xxx' on the line that lists the device, that's how you know which directory to look in under /dev/bus/usb
[01:26] <jrib> Delryk: usually you take courses to learn.  I don't mind giving you hints, but there's not much point in just asking for a solution
[01:26] <thedude42> gtech, all the information to find it is in lsusb
[01:27] <gtech> ah, cool, I was really confused by the bus device language
[01:27] <Cyr4x> so, any solution?
[01:27] <ziomus> My problem is that i can not see my folders that i shared from the other computer ( OS windows) but i can see sharing folders that i am sharing from windows..
[01:27] <jrib> Delryk: if it helps, I try to think of difficult homework problems as puzzles to work on
[01:27] <Delryk> jrib: so far everything that i have been told hasnt helped me at all. i know how to use regex but i dont have an understanding of how to actually only find the words that contains one vowel only. i havent learned how to search words rather than lines
[01:28] <korin43> c4pt: Click on the Networkmanager applet then click on the network and type in the information you're given
[01:28] <jrib> Delryk: what examples did you try with your '[a][^a][a]' suggestion from before?
[01:28] <c4pt> korin43: what about the CA cert?
[01:28] <c4pt> korin43: do i use the user CA cert or the host CA cert?
[01:28] <jrib> Delryk: don't solve the whole problem at once.  Start by solving the problem of how to just find lines that contain a single 'a'
[01:28] <Distro^Junkie> any particular reason why file transfers from ubuntu to vista on dual boot are so slow ?
[01:28] <ziomus> more specific please <--noobie
[01:29] <Delryk> jrib: i got that
[01:29] <gtech> thedude42: so bus is the device type and Device is the device number? like device 003 would be the third device and come up as hiddev2?
[01:29] <korin43> c4pt, there should be an option to just accept the host cert. I don't have anything to test on right now..
[01:29] <jrib> Delryk: what's the answer to that?
[01:29] <Delryk> wait only 1 a ?
[01:29] <kilo> how do I find the location of a HD that I plug in via usb? Is it automatically  /dev/sdb1  provided no other HDs are mounted?  How do I find out??
[01:29] <Delryk> so if there is 2 a's then its invalid right ?
[01:29] <jrib> Delryk: right
[01:29] <Delryk> hah
[01:29] <OerHeks> kilo : desktop
[01:29] <Delryk> give me a minute LOL
[01:30] <trism> Delryk: need to think about matching the line as a whole
[01:30] <thedude42> gtech, right, so assume we're talking about a device like so: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c318 Logitech, Inc.
[01:30]  * Dcash needs halp
[01:30] <Delryk> trism: i dont know how to do that though
[01:30] <korin43> c4pt: For "Authentication" choose PEAP, then put in the information you have and ignore the CA Certificate part
[01:30] <thedude42> then we should be able to find the device file at /dev/bus/usb/003/002
[01:31] <Dcash> I need help connecting to the internet.  Just switched from Vista.
[01:31] <kilo> OerHeks, yes, I see it, but how do I find the location address? I'm trying to repair it via gddrescue
[01:31] <nanotube> Delryk: ^somestuff$   that says that your somestuff should match the whole string from beginning to end. that's 'matching a line as a whole'
[01:31] <Delryk> thanks nano
[01:31] <c4pt> korcan: using the TrustedCA.pem as the host cert or choosing no cert and ignore with peap its denied. with the right user and password
[01:32] <ziomus> delryk check out my msg on privey
[01:32] <ziomus> privet
[01:32] <c4pt> korcan: sorry the message was for korin43
[01:32] <kilo> wow this is frustrating.... you'd think linux would have put the address of mounted disks in an easy to find location...
[01:33] <c4pt> korin43:  using the TrustedCA.pem as the host cert or choosing no cert and ignore with peap its denied. with the right user and password
[01:33] <nanotube> Delryk: so as a hint, you're looking for a regexp that would do something like: "^0 or more nonvowels, one vowel, 0 or more non-vowels$"
[01:33] <eein> kilo, type fdisk at a terminal
[01:33] <nevets04> Hi everyone!!
[01:33] <thedude42> kilo, df -ah not work?
[01:33] <jrib> kilo: what do you mean by "address"?
[01:34] <Delryk> egrep '^a$' f3.txt   i do have a line that is just a single a
[01:34] <kilo> eein, thanks I think that worked!
[01:34] <Delryk> and that doesnt give me any rsult
[01:34] <ziomus> any1 can help me setup the network cause i can not see my sharing folder on windows
[01:34] <kilo> thedude42, THAT worked... thanks!!
[01:34] <thedude42> kilo ;)
[01:34] <kilo> jrib, nevermind, I got it... thanks though!
[01:35] <ziomus> any1?
[01:35] <nanotube> Delryk: are you sure that line only hase the one 'a' and nothing else? because that /should/ work to produce the line that only has the lone a
[01:35] <eein> kilo, actually thedude42 answer would probably be better
[01:35] <Delryk> lol nano i was using the wrong file >.<
[01:36] <kilo> eein, yes, thank you... I saw his and it worked great!  thanks for your help though
[01:36] <nanotube> Delryk: heh
[01:36] <nanotube> Delryk: well have fun, you should be able to figure it out from here, i'm going to grab some food. :)
[01:36] <Delryk> nano how ironic im ordering pizza lol
[01:36] <nanotube> heh
[01:36] <fuzzman54> My sound is higher pitched than it should be. Everything that comes out of my speakers sound like it has been chipmunked. I'm using an integrated Intel 82801BA sound card.
[01:37] <nevets04> Is irc.ubuntu.com #ubuntu, the same as irc.freenode.com #ubuntu?
[01:37] <jrib> nevets04: yes
[01:38] <nevets04> jrib, Thanks.
[01:38] <fuzzman54> I found a solution, but it's for freebsd and I don't know what the guy is talking about.

[01:39] <korin43> c4pt: I'm not really sure what's happening. When I connected to the WPA2 Enterprise network for my university, I left the certificate part out because i didn't know and it worked. :(
[01:41] <fuzzman54> Hello?
[01:41] <grkblood> hola
[01:41] <elvirolo> hi
[01:41] <elvirolo> i'm looking for a mouse macro tool  (which records mouse movements) - xmacro and gnee don't seem to work

[01:44] <spinning> what other big channels on freenode?
[01:44] <spinning> is this it?
[01:45] <spinning> is there a way to list channels on this irc server?
[01:45] <korin43> DarkFeeling: What do you mean? A password on gmail, yahoo mail, etc? I doubt anyone on here will help you.
[01:45] <gtech> I'm getting the error Inappropriate ioctl for device what are the possible causes for this?
[01:45] <korin43> spinning: If you're using xchat, go to Server -> List Channels
[01:45] <DarkFeeling> C'mon, a Gmail one :( help, I beg you....
[01:46] <spinning> nah, mIRC
[01:46] <DarkFeeling> You guys are the geeks, please help.
[01:46] <korin43> DarkFeeling: Even if anyone on here knew how to do that, we're not going to help you hack someone's email account.
[01:46] <fuzzman54> Yeah. You guys are the smart ones, help me!

[01:49] <_Space_Cace_> im not on a ubuntu computer just typed it...
[01:49] <KnifeySpooney> Hi, how do I use apt-get to download packages only, *to a specific location such as a usb drive*?
[01:49] <korin43> _Space_Cace_: type uname -a, the part after the time and before GNU/Linux is your architecture.
[01:49] <DarkFeeling> Emmm... *looks around* yeah...
[01:49] <IdleOne> _Space_Cace_: uname -a should tell you
[01:49] <riley> Im really new to linux.. or i feel like i am.. ive been getting massive critical errors that are making me consider going back to the dark side. Is htere something im not doing with linux to prep my machine? 2 days ago i had a massive xorg failure. yesterday/today i had an io manager bad magic error.. fsck had me pretty much delete everything..
[01:49] <DarkFeeling> I'm kiddin' is mine....
[01:50] <DarkFeeling> Is just I need a Word document I left there....
[01:50] <DarkFeeling> need it for tomorrw..
[01:50] <korin43> _Space_Cace_: Er.. uname -m
[01:50] <_Space_Cace_> yea but how do i tell if its a 64 or 32 bit?
[01:50] <DarkFeeling> please... :(
[01:50] <cedriczg> Hello Ubuntu Community
[01:50] <DarkFeeling> I may loose the semester :(
[01:50] <_Space_Cace_> i686
[01:50] <coz_> DarkFeeling,  well  you might want to notify  gmail and see if they can acomodate you
[01:50] <korin43> _Space_Cace_: i686 = 32 bit
[01:50] <coz_> DarkFeeling,  other wise you will have to  remembe
[01:50] <_Space_Cace_> uname -m i686
[01:50] <_Space_Cace_> ok ty
[01:50] <coz_> DarkFeeling,  remember the password :)
[01:51] <coz_> _Space_Cace_,  ok so 32 bit
[01:51] <DarkFeeling> I've tried... damn... I hate my brain
[01:51] <cedriczg> I am sure someone may have already fixed the problem to get a screen resolution greater that 800x600 on ubuntu 9.04... Anyone?
[01:51] <IdleOne> DarkFeeling: spend less time trying to crack password and more time rewriting the paper
[01:51] <DarkFeeling> Thanks, IdleOne, I'll try. :(
[01:52] <bikedogsolaris> cedriczg: download drivers ;) my first mistare!
[01:52] <coz_> DarkFeeling,  well there is absolutely Nothing we can do with that.... and I am sure no one here feels comfortable even contemplating  trying to help with that :)
[01:52] <riley> cedriczg: once i installed the vid driver it found it for me
[01:52] <KnifeySpooney> Hi, how do I use apt-get to download packages only, *to a specific location such as a usb drive*?
[01:52] <cedriczg> riley, which package would it be on synaptic?
[01:53] <riley> cedriczg: that depends on your graphics card
[01:53] <pfifo> cedriczg, displayconfig-gtk works for my setup
[01:53] <korin43> KnifeySpooney: apt-get -d
[01:53] <riley> anyone have any ideas as to how to avoid critical failures
[01:53] <spinning> do people mostly just sit idle on freenode?
[01:53] <KnifeySpooney> korin43: I need to download to my flash drive, not just /var/apt/cache
[01:53] <spinning> why is there hardly any chat?
[01:53] <riley> io manager bad magic?
[01:53] <coz_> spinning,  that depends on the channel and the question
[01:54] <coz_> spinning,   If I dont know the answer I generally say that  instead of remainging quiet  however if no one answers and there is activity in the channel ...it is most likely no one has an answer
[01:54] <Distro^Junkie> any particular reason for slow file transfers between ubuntu 9.04 and vista on a dual boot using the same disc ?
[01:54] <pfifo> spinning, its tottally different from efnet, people are hear to collaborate, not be entertained
[01:55] <cedriczg> riley, So can I find out which graphic card do I have. I actually don't recall the commands...
[01:55] <DarkFeeling> Well, bye geeks :(
[01:56] <DarkFeeling> I'm gunna kill myself
[01:56] <bikedogsolaris> lawlz
[01:56] <riley> cedriczg: not really sure on linux...
[01:56] <DarkFeeling> I'm kiddin' :P
[01:56] <timestandstill> Make sure you put a tarp down first or something.
[01:56] <chris-s> I have a man page file that is not correctly associated with a command, Anyone know how to view it please? Opening it in a text editor is a mess because of the formatting.
[01:56] <DarkFeeling> or not???
[01:56] <pfifo> DarkFeeling, I reccommend... ohh n/m
[01:56] <bikedogsolaris> more lawl
[01:56] <DarkFeeling> No, no, say it, pfifo
[01:56]  * pfifo had the final solution
[01:56] <timestandstill> Down the street, DarkFeeling, not across the road.
[01:57] <riley> haha
[01:57] <DarkFeeling> That's the most stupid thing I've heard...
[01:57] <gmap> hi
[01:57] <DarkFeeling> Girls, doit like that... am a littla man.. :P
[01:57] <bikedogsolaris> not as stupid as the things i say...
[01:57] <KnifeySpooney> !clone
[01:58] <cedriczg> riley, I just found a command that may tell me the card I have " sudo update-pciids; sudo lspci | grep VGA  " maybe this can help you in future ;)
[01:58] <DarkFeeling> Linux can kiss my butt, bitches
[01:58] <pfifo> !automate
[01:58] <korin43> KnifeySpooney: aptitude download
[01:58] <riley> is there a way to shield your machine from critical errors?
[01:58] <DarkFeeling> Windows 4eva <3333333333333333
[01:58] <Distro^Junkie> DarkFeeling: and the point of that is ??
[01:58] <pfifo> We all know solaris pwns us all
[01:58] <jrib> DarkFeeling: do you have an actual ubuntu support question?
[01:59] <DarkFeeling> Dat'z cuz u guys woodn't help ¬¬
[01:59] <gmap> I am following this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID#Configuring%20the%20RAID trying to set up software RAID. Do I setup 3 partitions for each harddrive? 1 for physical Raid, one for root and one for swap? I am bit confused. It will not let me write the partition table without a root partition
[01:59] <chris-s> Anyone know how to view a man page file please? I have the actual file, but it is not associated with a command.
[01:59] <korin43> KnifeySpooney: Except aptitude download doesn't do deps :(
[01:59] <Distro^Junkie> we don't help in illegal activity
[01:59] <coz_> DarkFeeling,  there is nothing we can do abou
[01:59] <coz_> your email
[01:59] <DarkFeeling> :(
[01:59] <jrib> DarkFeeling: please keep the discussion in this channel related to ubuntu support.  Either by asking a question or answering one
[01:59] <bikedogsolaris> DarkFeeling: go to http://linsux.org you can vent there!
[01:59] <Distro^Junkie> lo
[01:59] <Distro^Junkie> lol*
[01:59] <DarkFeeling> Alright I'll ask one...
[01:59] <DarkFeeling> Are you guys virgins???
[01:59] <DarkFeeling> LOL
[02:00] <pfifo> chris-s, if i remember correctly its gzipped, so zcat would probbally work, also just try google
[02:00] <Distro^Junkie> yeaa!!!
[02:00] <chris-s> thanks
[02:00] <coz_> DarkFeeling,  I think everyone here  trys their best to keep this channel for support with a bit of brevity
[02:00] <KnifeySpooney> korin43: Dang. That's too bad. I think I can just clear my apt cache then download all the packages and copy them over
[02:00] <riley> seriously now.. can anyone help me?
[02:00] <spinning> ok, who wants to collaborate !!
[02:00] <Delryk> hey guys i figured out my answer :D thanks for your help
[02:00] <Delryk> grep -E '\<[^aeiou]*[aeiou][^aeiou]*\>' f3.txt
[02:00]  * spinning is looking for collaborators
[02:00] <trism> Delryk: good work
[02:01] <riley> is looking for help
[02:01] <riley> how do you do that spinning
[02:01] <pfifo> dose anyone know of a way to stream what you see on your desktop to a rtmp server (livestream.com)
[02:01] <coz_> spinning,  collboration for what?
[02:01] <Distro^Junkie> is 1 hour and 26 minutes slow for transferring 8.6 gigs to an external usb drive ?
[02:01] <Delryk> is that correct? or is there a "better" answer ?
[02:01] <spinning> for collaboration!
[02:01] <Distro^Junkie> getting less then 3 mb/s
[02:01] <jrib> Delryk: of course now you have to take into account that 'y' is sometimes a vowel!
[02:01] <Delryk> i wont give up until i get the best possible answer
[02:01] <cappicard> Distro^Junkie, that sounds like you're using usb 1.1
[02:01] <coz_> Distro^Junkie,  well yes that sounds a bit slow
[02:01] <trism> Delryk: that is basically what I had
[02:01] <korin43> Distro^Junkie: Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port.
[02:01] <riley> am i being ignored??
[02:01] <spinning> collaboration for its own sake!!
[02:01] <jrib> Delryk: that's what I came up with
[02:01] <tiedyesmiley> i have a question i have ubuntu installed currently...can i install win7 and dual boot orr will i have to reinstall ubuntu after win7 to have the boot loader?
[02:01] <riley> no one listens to me
[02:01] <bikedogsolaris> Distro^Junkie: that is slow as fuck...
[02:01] <riley> i need real help
[02:01] <coz_> riley,   no I dont think so ...what was the question?
[02:02] <jrib> !helpme | riley
[02:02] <spinning> the good lord hears you riley
[02:02] <Distro^Junkie> its a brand new dell so it best be usb 2.0
[02:02] <riley> thanks jrib
[02:02] <pfifo> riley, try addressing the person your talking to directly
[02:02] <cedriczg> riley, Are you talking about avoiding critical failures?
[02:02] <spinning> get on a knee and pray!
[02:02] <coz_> Distro^Junkie,  then yes that verry slow
[02:02] <usr13> !grub
[02:02] <Delryk> HAHAH jrib. i dont want to have a mental break down ;)
[02:02] <riley> but it would have been awesome if someone at leased aknowledged me when i originally asked
[02:02] <Distro^Junkie> coz_: what can I do to speed it up ?
[02:03] <riley> I have been having massive errors ever since switching to linux
[02:03] <bikedogsolaris> distro^junkie: change ports...
[02:03] <jrib> riley: don't take it the wrong way, that's just how irc works.  If no one knows the answer, no one will help you
[02:03] <riley> io bad magic
[02:03] <coz_> Distro^Junkie,  well not sure from this end...  I would try to troubleshoot the usb  to make sure it is 2.0   test other devices on it to be sure it isnt the external drive itself
[02:03] <Thocrun> riley, what's up?
[02:03] <riley> and a critical xorg failure
[02:03] <cedriczg> riley, which kind of errors? Which kind of PC/laptop do you have?
[02:03] <pfifo> riley, try addressing the errors one at a time and be specific, "How do I fix a critical error"  just dosent work
[02:04] <cedriczg> riley, Did you try to update all your system with last updates?
[02:04] <ubuntu> olaaaa
[02:04] <rictec> critical error? where?
[02:04] <coz_> Distro^Junkie,  if it turns out it is the external drive  I would immediately remove as much data from it as possible before it dies on you
[02:05] <riley> i have a dell latitude d830 x64, 2gb. i have had the entire system lock into ro and fixed that via fsck. then my xorg failed.
[02:05] <rabbitofdeath> Distro^Junkie what kind of filesystm are you using?
[02:05] <cedriczg> riley, Do you have loggin enabled on your system? you can try to check on your messages
[02:05] <riley> i had to reinstall at that point and less than 24 hours later i recieved an io manager bad magic
[02:05] <cedriczg> riley, try "grep -i error /var/log/messages" on a terminal to see what kind of message error you see
[02:06] <riley> i update as much as possible and run an fsck whenever i think of it
[02:06] <Thocrun> riley, did the computer print any error codes?, what programs where you using?
[02:06] <number11u-max> riley: make it work and never update again!
[02:06] <rictec> dell d839 with whitch config?
[02:06] <cedriczg> riley, Which Linux have you installed on your Dell ?
[02:06] <riley> cedriczg, after teh io manager bad magic error it pretty much wiped the drive, its empty
[02:07] <riley> linuxmint when my xorg failed
[02:07] <pfifo> could be the drive
[02:07] <cedriczg> riley, Which linux did you installed and which steps did you follow?
[02:07] <riley> and ubuntu when my io failed
[02:07] <shawn_> WIth nvidia twinview is there any way to add a taskbar to my second screen?
[02:07] <cedriczg> riley, Linuxmint?
[02:08] <riley> yes
[02:08] <riley> its an ubuntu variant
[02:08] <pfifo> shawn_, try gnome-panel on that screen (from a terminal) then logoff choosing to save settings
[02:08] <coz_> shawn_,   I dont believe so  however you can change a settings in the xorg so that  the panels stretch across both screens  ...the down side is that  maximized windows also open across both screens
[02:08] <Distro^Junkie> rabbitofdeath: sorry I'm using ext3 on ubuntu and its being transferred to a ntfs formatted usb external.... its even slow sending to vistal on a dual boot
[02:08] <rictec> mint?
[02:08] <cedriczg> riley, I am checking now on web. I was not aware of that flavour
[02:09] <coz_> linux mint
[02:09] <Thocrun> riley, what (if any) error codes did it say?
[02:09] <etech> Crunchbang for my Dell Mini 9
[02:09] <shawn_> pfifo "Cannot register the panel shell: There is already one running.
[02:09] <coz_> crunchbang is cool
[02:09] <rictec> never tryed mint yet
[02:10] <riley> fsck came back with "IO Manager Bad Magic!" then stopped, so i ran it again, and when i let it "fixed" the errors.. it deleted everything from my drive
[02:10] <pfifo> shawn_, was just a guess, havent used twinview since 32MB was top of the line for a video card
[02:10] <rabbitofdeath> Distro^Junkie personally ive never had good speed when copying to an ntfs drive, ive always used ext3 or 4, but i chalk that up to my old slow drive...
[02:11] <rabbitofdeath>  also are you using cli to copy or nautalis?
[02:11] <Distro^Junkie> both are new drives
[02:11] <roffe> I downloaded virtualbox 3.0.8, but now I can't find it in the menu. How do I run it from the terminal?
[02:11] <etech> got 2 go 73s to all
[02:11] <cedriczg> riley, Have you tried again a clean install?
[02:11] <riley> not yet
[02:12] <cedriczg> riley, Does Linuxmint have a liveCD ?
[02:12] <Conexion> Hey all, I'm using Karmic, and have noticed it doesn't use an xorg.conf - How might I add a resolution to use instead of the default 800x600?
[02:12] <riley> im via livecd right now. wanted to see if i was doing something wrong or missing a step after install
[02:12] <riley> cedriczg: yes
[02:12] <rictec> that error is a hard disk error
[02:12] <riley> rictec: the IO error?
[02:12] <cedriczg> Conexion, I am trying to resolve same thing with an ubuntu 9.04. I assume we have to add the correct drivers
[02:12] <trism> shawn_: try https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+question/8152
[02:12] <roffe> how do I run the virtualbox?
[02:12] <pfifo> riley, you rin fsck alot you say? have you run fsck on a mounted filesystem?
[02:12] <rictec> riley: what smart drive say on bios?
[02:12] <pfifo> run*
[02:12] <b1shop> can you boot the livecd into runlevel 3?
[02:13] <rictec> probably backup and replace
[02:13] <cedriczg> Conexion, As far as I know this command can tell you which graphic card you have "  sudo update-pciids; sudo lspci | grep VGA "
[02:13] <riley> pfifo: yes
[02:13] <Conexion> cedriczg: You'd think Ubuntu would be able to detect that I'm virtualizing it in VirtualBox
[02:13] <pfifo> riley, running fsck n a mounted filesystem causes sever damage, thats what your problem is
[02:13] <Conexion> I'll try that
[02:13] <rictec> riley: check if smartdrive is on on you dell bios
[02:13] <Distro^Junkie> rabbitofdeath: nautilas
[02:14] <BoxMagnet> installing nfs-common fails and says initscript nfs action start failed?? t
[02:14] <riley> rictec: what am i looking for
[02:14] <roffe> how do I run the virtualbox?
[02:14] <riley> pfifo: reaaaallly
[02:14] <cedriczg> Conexion, It should do. And that command would check on your graphic card (i.e. hardware)
[02:14] <guatenoob> hi guys, someone with experience using apt-mirror ?
[02:14] <rictec> riley: a smardrive option on dell bios
[02:14] <cedriczg> Conexion, Give it a try and let me know
[02:14] <Conexion> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter - that's what I get
[02:15] <cedriczg> Conexion, Hablás español?
[02:15] <pfifo> riley, yes, really, you have to boot a livecd or another install to fsck your root filesystem
[02:15] <riley> rictec: once i find smartdrive... what do i do?
[02:15] <riley> pfifo: interestiing.. damn.
[02:15] <gmap> how much space should i leave for a /boot partition?
[02:15] <Conexion> Actualy, I don't :p
[02:15] <BoxMagnet> installing nfs-common fails and says initscript nfs action start failed?? t
[02:15] <rictec> put it on riley it will check your hard drive for hardware errors
[02:15] <guatenoob> i need some help, i tell is downloading cause conky tells me the download speed, but i dont see any changes in my hard disk space, any advice _
[02:15] <guatenoob> ?
[02:15] <cap> I have a broadcom Wireless card in this Dell X300 laptop, it's a bcm4306  Any ideas on how to get it to work?
[02:15] <cap> Or should I just junk it?
[02:15] <rictec> and if it finds one it will tell you to backup and replace the hardisk
[02:15] <pfifo> riley, you dont need to run fsck hardly ever, its automated... this leads to the question, what were you trying to fix with fsck?
[02:15] <riley> rictec: gotcha. Ive been wondering about the integrity of the drive since this crap started happening.
[02:16] <cap> and ... Buy another wireless card?
[02:16] <rictec> riley: most of them have that option disable on bios it saves boot time
[02:16] <cap> It is a Dell Latitude x300
[02:16] <riley> pfifo: um... not sure. with my string of luck i figured it didnt hurt to check often...
[02:16] <BoxMagnet> installing nfs-common fails and says initscript nfs action start failed?? t
[02:16] <korin43> pfifo: Couldn't you kill X, then remove the drive ro?
[02:16] <number11u-max> i need to stop chewing guitar picks... http://imgur.com/NUVnr.jpg
[02:17] <riley> did i read that Karmic does not use xorg?
[02:17] <pfifo> korin43, yeah you can mount RO as well, but that is more trouble than just restarting imho
[02:17] <number11u-max> karmic uses xorg
[02:17] <rictec> mine does to
[02:18] <riley> dang
[02:18] <pfifo> riley, i recommend formating your hard drive and doing a fresh install.
[02:18] <riley> ok im going to go check my bios for smart disc. then clean install.. and this time only fsck if the boot fails. and if i do that.. itll be from a livecd. Thanks guys
[02:18] <cap> Any help for the I-cant-connect-to-my-wireless-lan syndrome?
[02:18] <number11u-max> riley: windows and mac don't use xorg... and opensolaris uses magic!
[02:19] <BoxMagnet> installing nfs-common fails and says initscript nfs action start failed?? t
[02:19] <riley> im not a fan of magic.. if i ever meet cris angel hes getting punched in his nancy mouth
[02:19] <pfifo> number11u-max, x11 works on windows lol
[02:19] <socceroos> when's the RC going to be released?
[02:19] <stone1343> anyone have any idea why the Karmic Live CD runs fine to install but when I re-boot, the white ubuntu logo displays but the system hangs?
[02:20] <Thocrun> riley, look anything like this problem? http://lists.linuxcoding.com/rhl/2005/msg50479.html
[02:20] <number11u-max> pfifo: it does?! lawl...
[02:20] <rictec> stone1343: alt-f1? does anythinh?
[02:20] <pfifo> stone1343, you can remove the quiet option from the menu.lst to see the kernel messages, would at least give some hints
[02:20] <riley> thocrun: YES
[02:21] <cap> Help, Im a prisoner in the I-cant-connect-to-my-wireless-lan-syndrome!
[02:21] <riley> Thocrun: my second fsck yeilded a much different result though
[02:21] <stone1343> ok i'll try those...
[02:21] <riley> Thocrun: instead of giving me specific blocks that had failed.. fsck deleted EVERYTHING
[02:22] <Thocrun> riley, what did the second fsck say?
[02:22] <Thocrun> or did that page answer everything?
[02:22] <pfifo> Thocrun, he ran fsck on a mounted partition
[02:22] <cap> Ok, that does it.  I'm ditching this bcm4306 (I'll get an Intell Pro2200 and live happily ever after)!  :)
[02:23] <Thocrun> pfifo, ok I guess that solved that.
[02:23] <riley> haha guys.. i didnt know!! haha
[02:23] <riley> i do now.. and i will not fsck a mounted partitioin
[02:23] <rictec> still check the smartdrive option
[02:24] <riley> rictec: roger that
[02:24] <Thocrun> niether did I know lol
[02:24] <riley> Thocrun, had you done that before?
[02:24] <Thocrun> riley, untill I googled it!
[02:24] <riley> haha damn. so i dont feel so bad now haha
[02:24] <gmap> how much space should i leave for a /boot partition?
[02:24] <Thocrun> I am taking computer support classes though
[02:24] <number11u-max> i accidentially my harddrive...
[02:25] <trism> gmap: I usually do about 100MB
[02:25] <Thocrun> they say to get all the info I can out of the user, It ussually is a big key toi solving almost everything.
[02:25] <riley> then tell them to reboot
[02:25] <cap> FYI - the gparted bootable CD has a nice fsck interface - does a great job.  Its a very nice tool to have on hand.
[02:26] <cap> Don't leave home without it!
[02:26] <Thocrun> or a good amount of things., not saying fsck is bad though, I love just about everything opensource.
[02:26] <gmap> trism: thanks
[02:26] <riley> ok so task list for tonight 1. check smartdrive 2. clean install 3. get gparted?
[02:27] <IdleOne> riley: switch 2 and 3
[02:28] <rictec> with a live cd you can get gparted to check your disks
[02:28] <cap> rictec is correct.
[02:28] <riley> oh.. so i have gparted
[02:28] <number11u-max> gparted livecd couldn't start X!
[02:28] <Thocrun> riley, I think I googled to find gparted, but I think there's another one with it that is suppose to be able to do a lot like windows disk manager.
[02:29] <riley> is gparted on my ubuntu disc?
[02:29] <riley> livecd
[02:29] <cap> number11u-max: It's ran fine on every PC I've used it on.
[02:29] <number11u-max> it might not have burned right from opensolaris...
[02:29] <number11u-max> opensolaris=greatest OS ever!
[02:30] <rictec> number11u-max: did the live cd works? whatis you video card?
[02:30] <number11u-max> nVidia geforce 610m
[02:30] <stone1343> hello again, what should I hope Alt-F1 does, open the menu? the system is well & truly hung, the only thing I can do is hold down power button until it turns off
[02:31] <cap> riley: Yes I think you can run it of the Ubuntu live CD, but make sure the target partion has not been mounted.
[02:31] <cap> riley: Best to get gparted bootable CD.
[02:31] <number11u-max> stone1343: hit Ctrl=Alt+Bksp
[02:31] <stone1343> it's anew computer, i think it's an issue of hardware that isn't supported
[02:31] <BoxMagnet> can someone tell me what the proper command in ubuntu to mount a nfs file system is ?????????
[02:31] <Thocrun>  riley,about gparted:  I think there's another one with it that is suppose to be able to do a lot like windows disk manager.
[02:32] <Thocrun> BoxMagnet, ntfs?
[02:32] <BoxMagnet> Thocrun, no nfs, network file system.
[02:32] <BoxMagnet> !nfs
[02:32] <riley> Thocrun, Cap, Piffo. thanks a ton for the help guys. I was dreading going back to the world of windows
[02:33] <riley> also Rictec and Number11u-max thank you for your help as well
[02:33] <Magnesium> BoxMagnet: Try fileshareset --add directory_name
[02:33] <rictec> number11u-max try to boot with vesa option your card is a pain in every os
[02:33] <number11u-max> you're welcome!
[02:33] <Thocrun> your welcome!!!!
[02:33] <number11u-max> ritec: i know, ubuntu live cd has me covered though!
[02:34] <BoxMagnet> Magnesium, what is that
[02:34] <stone1343> chroot cannot execute /etc/apparmor/initramfs no such file or directory
[02:34] <Magnesium> !fileshareset
[02:34] <stone1343> run-init /sbin/init no such file or directory
[02:34] <stone1343> kernel panic npot syncing attempted to kill init
[02:34] <number11u-max> !solaris
[02:35] <Magnesium> BoxMagnet: Okay, look at man fileshareset...it appears that that adds an nfs share
[02:35] <cap> riley: I recommend going to gparted.sourceforge.net and downlad the live CD. (The ISO is only 100MB).
[02:35] <rictec> cap: riley as left the building lol
[02:35] <Magnesium> BoxMagnet: I have not used it, though, so I don't know for sure
[02:35] <cap> rictec: O
[02:35] <newbiewednesday> my sound isn't working
[02:36] <cap>  !sound
[02:36] <number11u-max> does anybody remember what a webTV is?
[02:36] <cap>  !audio
[02:37] <shortlord> how can I turn off the standard system beep that happens sometimes?
[02:37] <cap> number11u-max: No what is a webTV?
[02:37] <ftw> I have one in my closet, number11u-max
[02:37] <number11u-max> ftw, explain to cap then, please!
[02:38] <ftw> An early 1990's set top box by Microsoft, with dialup internet access and a web browser.
[02:38] <ftw> Quite slow and primitive.
[02:38] <Thocrun> BoxMagnet, what server version (ex. 9.04) are you using?
[02:38] <Magnesium> cap: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebTV
[02:38] <BoxMagnet> Thocrun, 9.10
[02:38] <dmg> after updating to karmic, alsa appears to be broken.  The alsa devices in /dev/snd aren't getting created.
[02:38] <killazzz> hi somwone know how to see wich operating system device use from wifi ?
[02:39] <ftw> More succinct, Magnesium. Props.
[02:39] <cedriczg> shortlord, go to system > preferences > sound
[02:39] <cedriczg> shortlord, and then uncheck for bell system tab
[02:39] <dmg> All I've found with googling are generic alsa trouble shooting guides .. my problem is that alsa _is_ finding the card, the modules are loaded, /proc/asound is populated
[02:39] <Magnesium> ftw: Wikipedia is my friend...I am smart with it...haha
[02:40] <killazzz> hi somwone know how to see wich operating system device use from wifi ?
[02:40] <dmg> but all the sound apps fail with snd_ctl_open failed for default
[02:40] <cedriczg> killazzz, what do you mean by operating system from wifi?
[02:40] <killazzz> to see if they roll on windows 7 or mac or linux ubuntu 9.04 etc
[02:40] <gmap> i just installed ubuntu server with software raid following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID#Configuring%20the%20RAID when I boot up i get no block devices found
[02:41] <cedriczg> killazzz, you mean to know what operating system you are running? you can try "uname -a" command
[02:41] <Thocrun> BoxMagnet, sudo mount example.hostname.com:/ubuntu /local/ubuntu
[02:41] <Thocrun>  , or sudo mount (IP Address of Other computer you are trying to connect to) :/ubuntu /local/ubuntu
[02:41] <shortlord> cedriczg, I am in the dialog now, I see to tabs, "Devices" and "sounds", but there is not "bell system tab"
[02:41] <boscop> I installed msttcorefonts, but they don't show up in the fonts list even after restarting open office writer!
[02:41] <killazzz> not mine other on wifi
[02:41] <defn> I need to install termcap-compat on ubuntu 9.04 64 but there is no package.  "emacs -nw" keeps throwing "emacs: cannot open termcap database file"
[02:41] <killazzz> to detect on other machine
[02:41] <cedriczg> shortlord, what version?linux are you using?
[02:41] <shortlord> cedriczg, Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04
[02:42] <shortlord> or are you referring to the kernel? should be the latest, 2.6.18
[02:42] <stone1343> I suspect my problem is ubuntu doesn't support some hardware in this new computer. Any idea how I can diagnose this?
[02:42] <cap> Ok, ok, I remember the webtv set top box, yes.
[02:42] <Magnesium> defn: termcap should be in the qemacs package...can you try sudo apt-get install qemacs?
[02:43] <rictec> stone lspci
[02:43] <cedriczg> shortlord, Interesting. I checked on 9.04 and that option is no more there. I am still running 8.04 on my laptop, and that option was on 8.04
[02:43] <cap> I suppose now, we might call TWiT Live (or one of those streaming things) webTV.
[02:43] <cap> Right?
[02:43] <cap> Maybe?
[02:43] <Magnesium> cap: Kinda...
[02:44] <rictec> cap: old stuff mode?
[02:44] <Magnesium> cap: Or like slingbox, maybe
[02:44] <stone1343> rictec, lspci won't work - it freezes during boot
[02:44] <shortlord> cedriczg, oh, ok. any idea how to mute that system bell without this dialog?
[02:44] <cedriczg> shortlord, I suppose on Sounds you should uncheck reproduce alert sounds, but not sure
[02:44] <rictec> stone what linux is it?
[02:44] <cap> Well, now slingbox, that is like a media center for your LAN, I think... I dono, don't have one.
[02:45] <dmg> so, nobody else had issues of alsa devices disappearing during an upgrade?
[02:45] <cap> I have a DVR tho
[02:45] <stone1343> ubuntu karmic desktop 386 20091020.3
[02:45] <cap> would like to build MythTV tho.
[02:45] <cedriczg> shortlord, Did that help?
[02:45] <Magnesium> cap: I don't have one either...but I think it lets you share video, etc., over your LAN, or over the internet.
[02:45] <rictec> stone on the boot menu what it says about kernel version?
[02:46] <Magnesium> cap: Maybe Slingbox is more like the opposite of WebTV...
[02:46] <shortlord> cedriczg, nope, it doesn't help "(
[02:46] <cap> Magnesium: Yes, I think you can download over the internet and save / share over your LAN.
[02:46] <cedriczg> killazzz, what was that invite about you sent?
[02:46] <bostrt> hi i am having  a serious problem with my printer. It printed fine earlier. I tried to install foo2zjs drivers b/c slideshows were taking a long time to print. Now the only way i can get it to print is too boot into my Arch linux and then reboot into ubuntu and then print
[02:46] <Thocrun> webTV now MSNTV
[02:46] <newbiewednesday> how do i download restricted drivers, ubuntu is not doing my intel video card any justice

[02:46] <cap> but I heard slingbox is not all it's cracked up to be
[02:46] <shortlord> cedriczg, I am referring to that beep that occurs if you backspace too often on the console for example so that no characters are left and you still hit backspace
[02:46] <teknozwizard> Has anyone seen Karmic recently?
[02:47] <cedriczg> shortlord, yes I know

[02:53] <nordhri> How do I run fsck.vfat on a drive?  I tried fsck.vfat -a /media/disk but it says its a folder
[02:53] <teknozwizard> server1: Linksys Wireless Routers are good routers.
[02:53] <lstarnes> nordhri: you need to use its /dev node
[02:53] <cap> nordhri: /dev/hdx
[02:53] <stone1343> rictec: type "disable apic acpi no probe"
[02:54] <cap> nordhri: or /dev/sdx
[02:54] <kisuke> how do i turn up the sound on my ubuntu even with volume maxed in system tray/area/thing is still realy quiet
[02:54] <server1> it means if i use linksys i dont have to deal with gateway firewall?
[02:54] <cap> nordhri: But umount it first
[02:54] <nordhri> ok I will see if I can figure it out... brb
[02:54] <rictec> acpi=off OR noacpi
[02:54] <cap> nordhri: mount | grep /media/disk
[02:54] <rictec> stone check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[02:55] <stone1343> rictec: i will, thanks
[02:55] <rictec> maybe one option will make it work
[02:55] <cap> nordhri: mount | grep /media/disk ; umount /media/disk
[02:55] <nordhri> cap ok its unmounted
[02:56] <cap> nordhri: and then fsck the /dev/hdxx where hdxx is the actual drive and partition, like /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2
[02:56] <server1> also i need to set up vanity ip can i do it without owning a domain name
[02:56] <nordhri> cap, how do I find that info?
[02:56] <cap> nordhri: mount | grep /media/disk  would have told you.
[02:57] <cap> nordhri: or do: sudo fdisk -l
[02:57] <kisuke> server1: try dyndns.org
[02:57] <cap> nordhri: make darn sure you get the right partition.
[02:57] <halp> hey all, so im using ubuntu to save my friend's windows system...got a bsod code 0x07B. any recommendations?

[02:58] <rictec> that error cod is a pain.....memory related p
[02:58] <nordhri> cap, none that I am aware of... mostly used for back up and storage but it switched to read-only for some reason
[02:59] <cap> nordhri: or just  /dev/sda1 ?
[02:59] <cap> nordhri: sudo fdisk -l  /dev/sd*
[02:59] <halp> emm...how do i get to #wondows? lol

[03:02] <cap> fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdb1
[03:02] <nordhri> thanks man... brb
[03:02] <cap> nordhri:  if vfat is actually the filesystem that is on it.
[03:03] <rictec> vfat=fat32
[03:03] <nordhri> well I found someone had the same problem and they ran both vfat and ext3 on theirs
[03:03] <cap> nordhri: Well, find out which it is.
[03:03] <cap> nordhri: fdisk is your friend.
[03:03] <zopiac> is there a way to get, say, command+s to write an ß, etc., like a mac does?

[03:08] <Delvien> n #ubuntu-us-oh
[03:08] <stone1343> rictec: yes i did

[03:10] <rictec> BoxMagnet, permitions thats all about permitions
[03:10] <Thocrun> BoxMagnet, of course you can only go as fast as your hardware, besides using overclocking for processors
[03:11] <BoxMagnet> rictec, its 777
[03:11] <nordhri> cap, still here?
[03:11] <rictec> BoxMagnet, its permitions...for sure recheck on the nfs server side

[03:23] <kernel> ninjaaaa: put display to sleep when inactive is more than setting screensaver.
[03:24] <ninjaaaa> kernel: what are you talking about?
[03:24] <kernel> ninjaaaa: on screensaver setting. find it.

[03:26] <cap> nordhri: What were the filenemes before? (what are they supposed to be?  .zip?)  (If they are supposed to be .zip you can globally change them back.)
[03:26] <stone1343> rictec: that's always been one of my questions, is it possibly new unsupported h/w?
[03:26] <ninjaaaa> i had already done that
[03:26] <rictec> stone1343, more like a lyer of a bios
[03:27] <ninjaaaa> kernel
[03:27] <Cyrano_De> mankash: There are several alternative dock bars.  Avant Window Navigator is one that you can customize.
[03:27] <rictec> stone1343, i m looking for the spec of that is an aspire right
[03:27] <kernel> ninjaaaa: to try it. regard computer as idle after. don't so long. same it.
[03:27] <Ububegin>  when u install software via Synaptic, does it automatically add an entry in */usr/lib/pkgconfig/opencv.pc* ..The thing is I have installed new version of opencv.pc via compiling source.. Even though, i have added the new path to PKG_CONFIG_PATH. It still prints the old location, when I do pkg-config --cflags opencv.. Any help
[03:27] <stone1343> rictec: yes
[03:27] <nordhri> cap, some are .zip others are .svg still others are .png or .jpg etc
[03:28] <rictec> stone1343, please tell me on the botton its say the model as1410-xxxxx
[03:28] <ninjaaaa> kernel: ???????????????????????/
[03:28] <Ububegin> any one knows about pkg-config .. TIA
[03:28] <nordhri> cap, no worries.. the main thing is that its working as usual again.. the clean up is minimal..
[03:30] <kernel> ninjaaaa: same it with power management.
[03:30] <Boogz> am i talking in correct window???
[03:30] <cap> nordhri: for i in *.REC; do mv "$i" "`basename "$i" .REC` .zip"; done  #To change them all to .zip  (and if that was the majority of what they were, start there)
[03:30] <rictec> yep those two are bots
[03:30] <ae86-drifter> im not a bot
[03:30] <Zuz|Kubuntu> anyone familiar with wine?
[03:30] <Boogz> is ubuntu best to learn with???
[03:30] <greensimian1> Hey gang!
[03:30] <nordhri> cap,  thanks again!
[03:30] <rictec> red or white lol
[03:31] <stone1343> rictec: 1410-8807
[03:31] <greensimian1> I am running an ION mobo and today a Kernel update was release in Ubuntu  that crapped out my video driver.
[03:31] <greensimian1> Do you think re-running the driver install would help?
[03:31] <cap> nordhri: file *    # Will tell you what they all are supposed to be.
[03:31] <andresj> hello, how do I make my pc act as a non-NAT switch?
[03:31] <Flannel> Boogz: It is a good candidate if you're starting out, yes.
[03:32] <rictec> stone1343, 8807 is a no show lol
[03:32] <cap> nordhri: or just run:  file *   # Start changing as needed.
[03:32] <Boogz> flannel how do i talk to just you?
[03:32] <Boogz> or make it red like that
[03:32] <nordhri> cap, woah! nice thanks!
[03:32] <Cyrano_De> Boogz: ubuntu is a great desktop to learn on.  If you want to learn on the version you will find in many enterprise datacenters you might want to look at CentOS as that is based on Red Hat Enterprise.
[03:32] <Flannel> Boogz: You just did, by using my name on the same line (you can also type a few letters and hit tab to complete my name in most clients)
[03:32] <Cyrano_De> Boogz: For general Linux usage Ubuntu is great.
[03:32] <nordhri> cap, so the ones that say "data" would be what?
[03:33] <xrandr> anyone know any good sound editors (like roxio's spin doctor) for linux?
[03:33] <Boogz> flannel do you know how i can copy files to my external hdd says  Error opening file '/media/disk/Rodney carrington - live at the majestic.avi': Permission denied
[03:33] <Schnork> hi
[03:33] <Zuz|Kubuntu> im trying to get my usb headset to be used with a program, but i dont know if there are drivers for it
[03:34] <Zuz|Kubuntu> in wine*
[03:34] <Boogz> Cyrano_De, ok so ill stick with it
[03:34] <cap> nordhri:  If you create files on a MS Windows system, and if you intend to deal with them and negotiate them on the MS Windows system, you should handle all those functions from the MS Windows system, (including repairing filesystem corruption issues).
[03:34] <xrandr> Boogz: use sudo cp <source> <target>
[03:34] <roffe> I just ran XP in virtualbox, but for some reason it's only a small window. And choosing fullscreen didn't help
[03:34] <angelus> could someone point me towards a media player where i can change the Song Title simply by "Right Click >> Rename Option" .....
[03:34] <xrandr> angelus: songbird
[03:34] <Schnork> the "task bar" is freezed, I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me ?
[03:34] <nordhri> cap, I don't have windows on this system any more...
[03:34] <Cyrano_De> xrandr: I have no idea what roxio's spin doctor does but Audacity gets a lot of good press for audio editing.
[03:34] <Boogz> xrandr im not familier with the sudo yet how can i learn about it?
[03:35] <ninjaaaa> kernelLove: thanks it worked
[03:35] <cap> nordhri: Ok, then disreguard the above... but just FYI.
[03:35] <ae86-drifter> Zuz|Kubuntu: wine will not make ur windows drivers work
[03:35] <LeNsTR> roffe: install guest-additional in guest os
[03:35] <ae86-drifter> Zuz|Kubuntu:  wine is not an emulator
[03:35] <frogzoo> Boogz: man sudo
[03:35] <stone1343> rictec: got disconnected, did you say anything to me?
[03:35] <ninjaaaa> kernelLove: thanks  it worked
[03:35] <kernelLove> ninjaaaa: what love/friend are for.
[03:35] <angelus> xrandr, thank you ...
[03:36] <BoxMagnet> have a weird problem, a subdirectory of a directory i am sharing using nfs (in /etc/exports) is not being shared, although all the other folders in the shared dir are, the dir not being shared is a partition mounted in a sub dir of the server's home folder. (it works in samba)
[03:36] <xrandr> Cyrano_De: thought about audacity. It's just not as easy to use as Spin Doctor
[03:36] <ninjaaaa> ?
[03:36] <xrandr> angelus: no problem :)
[03:36] <kernelLove> kidding.
[03:36] <rictec> stone1343, i dont find that 8807 anywhere
[03:36] <kernelLove> no problem
[03:36] <Boogz> frogzoo, ???
[03:36] <nordhri> cap,  thanks.. ok question.. fsk0009.rec through fsk0031.rec are of .png type  how did you say I can change those all at once?
[03:36] <cap> nordhri: THe filesystem may have been pretty much unrecoverable anyway. (If all the files were not data files in the first place). If they were data files, they may have originally had .dat extensions. Right?
[03:36] <stone1343> rictec: yes it is a new model
[03:36] <xrandr> Boogz: it's simple. prepend the command u want to run with sudo :)
[03:36] <zenlunatic> or4n: probably imagemagick
[03:37] <roffe> LeNsTR, Thanks, I'll try that
[03:37] <xrandr> ie: sudo cp /home/boogz/myfile.avi /media/disk/myfile.avi
[03:37] <ninjaaaa> how did you get kernel to point to kernelLove ?
[03:37] <zenlunatic> nordhri: probably imagemagick
[03:37] <Zuz|Kubuntu> ae86-drifter: when i test the sounds in wine config it wont play on my headset
[03:37] <zenlunatic> or4n: sorry disregard
[03:37] <BoxMagnet> have a weird problem, a subdirectory of a directory i am sharing using nfs (in /etc/exports) is not being shared, although all the other folders in the shared dir are, the dir not being shared is a partition mounted in a sub dir of the server's home folder. (it works in samba)
[03:37] <cap> fsk0009 - fsk0031 are images?
[03:37] <stone1343> rictec: can it be so new that ubuntu won't run?
[03:37] <nordhri> zenlunatic, thanks
[03:37] <nordhri> cap,  yes
[03:37] <PhantomLink> I am happy to say that I've finally made the switch to ubuntu from windoze xp
[03:37] <PhantomLink> :D
[03:37] <Schnork> the "task bar" is freezed, I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me ?
[03:37] <gem> I just installed a new applet "link-monitor-applet" using Synaptic Package Manager -- but how do I start the thing ?? and where is it ?!
[03:37] <xrandr> BoxMagnet: that's.... odd
[03:37] <zenlunatic> Schnork: restart x
[03:38] <rictec> stone1343, without the specs
[03:38] <kernelLove> ninjaaaa: it's means i don't have trouble with kernel. lol
[03:38] <nordhri> cap, most of these are images since I am a graphics person
[03:38] <BoxMagnet> xrandr, yes very
[03:38] <zenlunatic> whats a graphics person
[03:38] <cap> nordhri:  move them to a separate directory and customize the above command and globally change them all to .png
[03:38] <ninjaaaa> ok
[03:38] <xrandr> so, what's the benefits of having your home directory encrypted? I'm using karmic (and i know  the support is in #ubuntu+1)
[03:38] <gem> Any assistance ? :: I just installed a new applet "link-monitor-applet" using Synaptic Package Manager -- but how do I start the thing ?? and where is it ?!
[03:38] <xrandr> wouldn't it take longer to acccess the files if they're encrypted?
[03:38] <nordhri> zenlunatic, Graphics person == lunatic who rarely sleeps and creates works of art like logos, 3d models and such
[03:38] <Schnork> zenlunatic: How can I launch a terminal without the taskbar ? :s
[03:39] <Prodego> that sounds useful if you are paranoid xrandr
[03:39] <ninjaaaa> thank you. have a good day/night where ever you are
[03:39] <cap> nordhri: and then deal with the rest on individual basis, and then you can move them back.
[03:39] <zenlunatic> Schnork: cntrl-alt-f1
[03:39] <lstarnes> xrandr: the main reason for encrypting it is to prevent it from being read by others in case your hard drive or computer gets stolen
[03:39] <stone1343> rictec what specs do you need?
[03:39] <vvviper|a> xrandr: if you have a laptop it's a good benefit if your laptop is stolen
[03:39] <nordhri> cap, good idea
[03:39] <nordhri> brb
[03:39] <vvviper|a> xrandr: means whoever stole it can't read data in your home dir
[03:39] <RebelZero> BoxMagnet, look into using nohide and/or crossmnt in your /etc/exports. "man exports" will explain how they work
[03:39] <rictec> stone1343, chipset etc all of them
[03:39] <BoxMagnet> RebelZero, ok, will look. thanks
[03:40] <frogzoo> xrandr: encrypting your hard drive makes you data inaccessible to everyone but the NSA, including yourself if you lose the key
[03:40] <stone1343> it;s the intel su3500 chip
[03:40] <kakashi> hi guys, someone with experience installing a local repository ?
[03:40] <cap> nordhri: for i in *.REC; do mv "$i" "`basename "$i" .REC` .png"; done  #To change them all to .png
[03:40] <xrandr> frogzoo: sounds like a can of worms for inexperienced linux users
[03:40] <frogzoo> it is
[03:40] <nordhri> cap, thanks man
[03:41] <Schnork> zenlunatic: Thanks for the ctrl alt f1
[03:41] <stone1343> rictec It's even more confusing because the Live CD works
[03:41] <rictec> stone1343, livecd 9.10 beta right?
[03:41] <xrandr> i thought about encrypting my drive, but i thoight better of it
[03:42] <cap> nordhri: Keep in mind also, that [unlike MS systems] linux is case sensitive.  REC is not rec
[03:42] <Sp3c1alK> is there a program for ubuntu that bounces a connection back to the source? Say some IP is trying to conenct to me but I don't want them to, and instead I somehow make my IP theirs, so they're really connecting ot themselves?
[03:42] <xrandr> I think it's a good idea for users in a work environment with a shared desktop
[03:42] <BoxMagnet> RebelZero, that fixed it, thanks
[03:42] <stone1343> rictec 20091020.3, the possible RC
[03:42] <nordhri> cap,  yep
[03:42] <cap> Sp3c1alK: Just block their IP
[03:42] <Sp3c1alK> I did that
[03:43] <rictec> if it work you have a kernel that works for now
[03:43] <Sp3c1alK> but I thought it would be humerous to bounce it back
[03:43] <huwaw69> how do i find mscofig in wine?
[03:43] <nordhri> cap,  I've been using Ubuntu now for 5 years? I just never get under the hood if you know what I mean
[03:43]  * xrandr would definitely use ubuntu as a work computer if he owned his own business. His whole netwrok would be ubuntu based
[03:43] <zenlunatic> msconfig is a tool
[03:43] <rictec> copy it to your boot dir and use that kernel that works
[03:43] <zenlunatic> i mean i don't know why you would run it in wine
[03:43] <cap> huwaw69: man  find
[03:43] <LinuX2half> why when I boot up my graphic boot drop to text mode?
[03:43] <zenlunatic> part of windows... but im no expert
[03:43] <huwaw69> zenlunatic, i have to stop something
[03:44] <blah569> How could one achive a transparent 'top bar' similar to this?  http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=40498&d=1186942443  Just a static image with transparancy or would another method be more practical?
[03:44] <xrandr> So, what's the linux equivolent of Active Directory?
[03:44] <zenlunatic> huwaw69: be less vague
[03:44] <huwaw69> cap, what do you mean by cap find
[03:44] <cap> nordhri: I know... some of us think the hood is still weilded shut.
[03:44] <Sp3c1alK> pwd
[03:44] <zenlunatic> xrandr: probably LDAP
[03:44] <blah569> on gnome *
[03:44] <cap> huwaw69: man find  not cap find
[03:44] <LinuX2half> When I boot up, there's an ubuntu icon and it shows the loading process but now it'll switch to text mode....when the bar reached half way.....
[03:45] <xrandr> zenlunatic: LDAP coupled with NFS?
[03:45] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, what does hitting ctrl+alt+f7 do
[03:45] <cap> huwaw69: What are you trying to do? (What is your goal?)
[03:45] <zenlunatic> xrandr: possibly... check it out im not certain
[03:45] <nordhri> cap, not me.. I just tend to not need to go there .. and haven't really dedicated the time I feel needed to get in there and learn it.. a.k.a I've been lazy in that regard
[03:45] <LinuX2half> Boxmagnet: I've never tried it, but whats does it do anyway?
[03:45] <xrandr> zenlunatic: actually, i think it would NIS, NFS
[03:45] <zenlunatic> xrandr: i know nfs kicks butt we used to do kickstart installs like 5 times a night only takes like 4 minutes if that
[03:45] <Mobi> i have been searching for awhile now but to no avail. does anyone know how to remove msftres flag on a nfts partition without having to format it?
[03:45] <huwaw69> cap, nvm ill try to figure it out myself again, i can't explain it in english sorry
[03:45] <LinuX2half> Boxmagnet: does it have to do with UIID?
[03:46] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: UUID
[03:46] <DaZ> blah569: it's in the gnome panel menu :f
[03:46] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, no, UUID = unique identifier for hard drives.
[03:46] <blah569> DaZ:  Ah yes, but I meant, did the person probably use a staic image with transparency?
[03:46] <DaZ> and uses static image or true transparency depending on composite :f
[03:46]  * BoxMagnet finally got network shares to mount on boot using nfs
[03:47] <kakashi> hi guys can i get some help setting u a local repository server plz ?
[03:47] <DaZ> blah569: imo it's black with true transparency :f
[03:47] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: oh okay, but then does it have to do with the "resume image" process?
[03:47] <stone1343> rictec I think the end result is it's not gonna work until some hardware support is added?
[03:48] <rictec> stone1343, i have to check that chipset and if you have a working kernel use it
[03:48] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, I am not sure.
[03:48] <xrandr> zenlunatic: can u recommend a good eGroupware suite for linux?
[03:48] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, something like that could be from alot of reasons, sorry you need someone with more linux fu then I have
[03:49] <nevets04> a
[03:49] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, im usually in here asking questions, so I help people when I can :\
[03:50] <stone1343> rictec no working ubuntu on that computer, i'll have to use the "other" OS
[03:50] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: well thanks anyway
[03:50] <nevets04> What is the difference between #channel and ##channel?
[03:50] <lstarnes> nevets04: # is official, ## isn't
[03:50] <nevets04> lstarnes, Thanks.
[03:51] <lstarnes> nevets04: for example, #ubuntu is ubuntu's official channel, but ##windows is not the official channel of microsoft windows
[03:51] <rictec> stone i cant say that i can say is the last kernel broke something
[03:51] <rictec> stone1343, until someone finds out what it is you have to use a older kernel try 9.04
[03:52] <stone1343> rictec fair enough, thanks, i'll give 9.04 a try that'll be helpful to know if it works
[03:52] <LinuX2half> Well anyways, does anyone here knows why my boot splash suddenly turned to text mode when reached halfway....?
[03:52] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma decently in a headless jaunty?
[03:53] <DaZ> decently? ;f
[03:53] <stone1343> rictec: thanks very much for your help, I'm gonna go now
[03:53] <trism> LinuX2half: you mean it just shows the text boot log, such as services starting, etc?
[03:53] <LinuX2half> trism: yes
[03:53] <rictec> stone1343, np be well
[03:53] <tred> i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[03:53] <trism> LinuX2half: no idea, same thing randomly happens to me
[03:53] <webbb82> i am triing to download a bunch of wallpaper at once doing this http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/10/linux-download-hundreds-of-wallpapers.html
[03:54] <LinuX2half> trism: well does it have to do with the resume image?
[03:54] <webbb82> but after doing all that all i see is a blinking cursor
[03:54] <heylala> My dist-upgrade from a fresh install of jaunty to karmic beta went wrong in a couple of ways. The most obvious problem is that there are some packages missing that won't install. apt / aptitude output here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m50f090f5      I realize I could reinstall but I'd rather the learning process of trying to fix it. Anyone mind walking me through?
[03:54] <trism> LinuX2half: dunno
[03:54] <phil_fl> LinuX2half: what have you done that could triggered it ? did you made any change in your partition table ?
[03:55] <zmoazeni> Hello everyone. I need a little advice on how to create and use custom debian packages to "compile on install". An example would be I have a package Apache2.2.3 and 2 PHP5 Packages (PHP5.3.0 and PHP5.2.11). If I wanted to configure a system with Apache2.2.3 and PHP5.3.0, I'd want to install 2 packages, and have the PHP5.3.0 compile on install (passing specific configure parameters) - would I use the postinst script? Or is there a 
[03:55] <zmoazeni> I should be using instead?
[03:55] <LinuX2half> phil_fl: Not really, last time I messed up my partition when restoring my windows but then I restore linux back so...
[03:56] <zmoazeni> (The purpose is so I could have another Apache package say Apache2.3.5 and the PHP5.3.0 package would still install/compile against it)
[03:56] <LinuX2half> phil_fl: but I think that it happened when the ubuntu help menu is gone...but I'm not sure if its relevant....
[03:56] <phil_fl> LinuX2half: I have seen it when I play with my partition table and my UUID get messed up
[03:56] <heylala_> (another thing wrong is that gnome is acting terribly, so it just froze, did anyone respond / think they can help by any chance?)
[03:57] <LinuX2half> phil_fl: oh? Then this matter involve with UUID?
[03:57] <rictec> people its the end for me back latter
[03:57] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, why would it involve UUID?
[03:58] <phil_fl> LinuX2half: in my case yes you want me to guide to find out if you suffer with the same problem I did ?
[03:58] <BoxMagnet> you keep asking that, did you change /etc/fstab ?
[03:58] <zmoazeni> I thought I should be using the dsc, but that seemed like I would pass the configure parameters at install time
[03:58] <LinuX2half> phil_fl: alright
[03:58] <[t0rc]> I installed ubuntu server edition 9.04 and am now doing apt-get update but the downstream speed is UBER slow (its downloading in bytes). Any help?
[03:58] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: no idea but I done some research online....
[03:58] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, cat /etc/fstab
[03:58] <phil_fl> LinuX2half: when it happened to me I changed the swap so the UUID was not aligned anymore
[03:59] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, cat /etc/fstab in a pastebin
[03:59] <phil_fl> LinuX2half, BoxMagnet : yes same command cat /etc/fstab
[03:59] <cap> LinuX2half: Or:  pastebinit /etc/fstab
[03:59] <phil_fl> LinuX2half, BoxMagnet : and sudo blkid
[04:00] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, UUID=3379059e-918c-4285-b5ef-963c4cbf7164 / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1       --- what my boot drive looks like in /etc/fstab (the UUID is correct of course)
[04:00] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: here's mine, http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5d13519
[04:00] <progesterone> question: on Ubuntu Firefox, how do we load the page refreshing the cache? on Window version, I can do Ctrl+F5.
[04:00] <lstarnes> progesterone: shift+f5
[04:01] <trism> progesterone: ctrl+r
[04:01] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d10cc180c
[04:01] <heylala_> Anyone with any advice by any chance?
[04:01] <myeyespy> anyone know how I can open a movie in a new Totem window so I can have 2 movies open at the same time?
[04:01] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, use this UUID=80f73154-5559-4603-866f-2282bc7456dc / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[04:01] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, that will work for ur /etc/fstab
[04:01] <progesterone> lstarnes Are you sure?
[04:01] <lstarnes> progesterone: yes
[04:02] <LinuX2half> box magnet: so I have to edit the file?
[04:02] <progesterone> trism Ctrl+r is for reload. It may not refresh the cache.
[04:02] <lstarnes> progesterone: it may be ctrl+shift+f5 or ctrl+f5
[04:02] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, sudo gedit /etc/fstab and replace ur  line with UUID=80f73154-5559-4603-866f-2282bc7456dc / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[04:03] <trism> progesterone: my mistake, ctrl+shift+r
[04:03] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, then save that file, exit gedit, and pastebin cat /etc/fstab again
[04:03] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: like this? http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/dcb1dea2
[04:03] <webbb82> i know chromium is available to linux but did google put out a official one    or is chromium the officail one
[04:03] <progesterone> trism lstarnes How can I test whether cache is refreshed or not?
[04:04] <nick__> where is sshd
[04:04] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, I am just telling you though, that UUID is not your problem.
[04:04] <lstarnes> progesterone: I'm not sure
[04:04] <DaZ> webbb82: chromium is official
[04:04] <nick__> !sshd
[04:04] <trism> progesterone: no idea, it always seems to refresh the cache when I just do ctrl+r so...
[04:04] <korin43> nick__: /etc/init.d/sshd
[04:04] <lstarnes> nick__: its init script is /etc/init.d/ssh
[04:04] <cap> nick__: sshd is a service
[04:04] <SeaPhor> nick__, in /etc/ssh/
[04:04] <webbb82> so chromium is the exact as chrome
[04:04] <progesterone> trism lstarnes Thanks
[04:05] <nick__> korin43, lstarnes cap SeaPhor it is not there
[04:05] <korin43> webbb82: Chromium doesn't auto-update, and I think it's also missing the chrome media codecs
[04:05] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: hm... then check this site if its correct.. http://welltemperedstudio.wordpress.com/2009/04/07/is-your-ubuntu-boot-splash-dropping-to-text-mode/
[04:05] <webbb82> so how do i install chrome
[04:05] <lstarnes> nick__: did you install the openssh-server package?
[04:06] <cap> nick__: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[04:06] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, are you on a live-cd now on that machine!?!/
[04:06] <SeaPhor> nick__, sshd.conf is in  /etc/ssh/
[04:06] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: No.
[04:06] <webbb82> the google web site says Google Chrome for Linux is in development* and a team of engineers is working hard to bring it to you as soon as possible.
[04:06] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok, then try this you still got /etc/fstab open !/
[04:06] <SeaPhor> nick__, if not there then install it
[04:06] <lstarnes> SeaPhor, nick__: the server config is actually /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[04:06] <myeyespy> anyone know how I can open a movie in a new Totem window so I can have 2 movies open at the same time?
[04:07] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, switch those 2 lines just the UUID part. followed by the numbers
[04:07] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: yes but I didn't save it yet
[04:07] <phil_fl> LinuX2half: IMHO yes this site is very correct last thing you need to check is the cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and check if it matchs the swap UUID
[04:07] <SnakDoc> webbb82 you can get it there are install for it
[04:07] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, switch those 2 lines just the UUID part.
[04:07] <SeaPhor> lstarnes, that is true
[04:07]  * xrandr would love to have google chrome for linux :)
[04:07] <webbb82> not from the chrome web site
[04:07] <BoxMagnet> xrandr, i have been looking for it
[04:07] <BoxMagnet> cant find it
[04:08] <Cyrano_De> I have a couple of friends beta testing chrome right now.
[04:08] <SnakDoc> its not direct from them
[04:08] <Magnesium_> webbb82: Here's the difference...Chromium is an open source project that is trying to (and IMHO has succedded in) develop a great web browser. Chrome is the official browser, from Google, *based* on chromium
[04:08] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, you know what im asking you to do correct?
[04:08] <ZykoticK9> xrandr, see link for daily build ppa http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-chromium-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-using-deb-package.html
[04:08] <TBird> i <3 chrome on windows, at least
[04:08] <webbb82> is chrome in the repo
[04:08] <Magnesium_> webbb82: And Google sponsors chromium...so they are related, but not identical
[04:08] <lstarnes> webbb82: not the official ones
[04:09] <lstarnes> webbb82: google has their own apt repo for it
[04:09] <Magnesium_> webbb82: Go here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
[04:09] <webbb82> where do i get the officail then
[04:09] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: yes, just switch the numbers of the UUID, http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d52d3b3e3
[04:09] <webbb82> i already got chromium
[04:09] <SnakDoc> webbb82 its not been offically released but http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-chromium-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-using-deb-package.html thank that suppose to be very close
[04:10] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok, try to boot that machine then
[04:10] <Magnesium_> webbb82: There you can download a binary package for ubuntu, which you can install...it will also add Google's Chrome Repo to your sources.list, so it will automatically be updated.
[04:10] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: oh okay, so I need to save first and reboot to see if anything changes correct..?
[04:10] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, yes
[04:11] <kpkeller> hello.  i'd like to update to the latest gnome version.  i'm running jaunty jackalope.  how might i go about doing this?
[04:11] <Magnesium_> webbb82: The Chrome build is technically a "Dev Build," but I'm using it currently, and it is quite stable. I would recommend using that instead of trying to compile chromium from source.
[04:11] <BoxMagnet> !upgrade kpkeller
[04:11] <BoxMagnet> ..
[04:11] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: well okay, so I'll come back to see if anything changes
[04:11] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, let me know if it works please, so I can help the next person :-D
[04:11] <angelus> !upgrade | kpkeller
[04:11] <BoxMagnet> thanks angelus
[04:12] <Magnesium_> TBird: Then you'll love chrome on Linux too...
[04:12] <LinuX2half> Boxmagnet: sure I'll be back :)
[04:12] <kpkeller> thanks very much.
[04:12] <webbb82> Magnesium_, but where do i find tthe dev build
[04:12] <andresj> is ubuntu supposed to forward packats between two netowkr interfaces if the firewall is disabled?
[04:12] <xrandr> ZykoticK9: installing :)
[04:13] <BoxMagnet> UUID is awesome.
[04:13] <lstarnes> andresj: it doesn't need a firewall for that
[04:13] <kpkeller> i'm already on 9.04 of ubuntu, but i see on gnome's website that there is a more recent version of the UI.  should I just download it from there and install it?
[04:13] <Magnesium_> webbb82: The dev build is the only build of chrome for linux from google at the moment...like I said, download the deb package from http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
[04:13] <lstarnes> andresj: that uses the kernel's routing table
[04:13] <mayki> anyone here familiar with foremost or scalpel?
[04:13] <ejv> UUID is tempremental as hell
[04:13] <Magnesium_> webbb82: This will also add the Google Chrome repo to your sources, so it gets updated with apt
[04:13] <BoxMagnet> ejv, really? in what way just curious.
[04:14] <webbb82> oh ok than you
[04:14] <BoxMagnet> ejv, mine seems to work better than using /dev/sd* which changes.
[04:14] <Magnesium_> webbb82: No problem
[04:14] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: Well sadly it doesn't seem to work....:(
[04:15] <ejv> in large environments i have found uuid to be worse for persistent naming
[04:15] <roffe> How do I install Nvidia drivers on XP in virtualbox?
[04:15] <phil_fl> LinuX2half: last thing you need to check is the cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and check if it matchs the swap UUID
[04:15] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, you forgot part of your /etc/fstab
[04:15] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, hehe open it real quick sorry.
[04:15] <ejv> roffe: /j #virtualbox
[04:15] <leaf-sheep> roffe: I'm guessing you don't because VirtualBox use generic video drivers.  Join #virtualbox
[04:16] <ZykoticK9> roffe, if you are using VBox and have XP as a VM you don't install Nvidia -- install the Guest Additions to get 3D support
[04:16] <roffe> Ok, thanks!
[04:16] <crohakon> I must say... I love linux so far. I just wish microsoft office 2007 worked on it. I need it for work, only reason I keep vista around.
[04:16] <ejv> openoffice?
[04:16] <leaf-sheep> crohakon: Use VirtualBox
[04:16] <pfifo> openoffice
[04:16] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6b44bed2
[04:16] <leaf-sheep> crohakon: Change your job. :)
[04:16] <crohakon> openoffice is nice, but it does not compare with the features, sadly. And it murders xdoc files.
[04:17] <Magnesium> crohakon: or use wine...office 2007 works very well on wine.
[04:17] <mayki> !patience
[04:17] <pfifo> google docs?
[04:17] <crohakon> How does wine work? Do I need to install windows via wine or something?
[04:17] <Magnesium> !wine | crohakon
[04:17] <crohakon> google docs also kills xdoc files
[04:17] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, actually hold on, so you dont have to reboot again ( hopefully )
[04:17] <meanieface> crohakon: might want to check out crossover chromium
[04:17] <pfifo> google docs is my #1 resource for word documents
[04:18] <crohakon> So, I would not have to install windows with wine? I just install windows software via wine?
[04:18] <leaf-sheep> crohakon: Right.
[04:18] <srshkrsh> when i tried to copy a 700mb file from one one hard disk partition to another, i noticed the copying speed was dropping. what could be the problem?
[04:18] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: okay, here http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d61bca743, see if it's the same
[04:18] <crohakon> meanieface; what is crossover chromium
[04:18] <webbb82> what would the command be to uninstall chromium and install chrome
[04:18] <pfifo> crohakon, i have an icon on muy desktop for winamp, i click on it and it runs exactly the same as in windows
[04:19] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, yea just put the / not the swap on top
[04:19] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, hold on i got another idea too
[04:19] <UseLinux> hi?
[04:19] <xrandr> ZykoticK9: works nicely :)
[04:19] <Magnesium> crohakon: Right...think of wine as an open source implementation of the windows API's. You can install and run windows apps using the wine engine, and it translates between the windows language (used by your program) and the linux language.
[04:20] <UseLinux> This is UseLinux. Does anybody read?
[04:20] <meanieface> crohakon: http://www.codeweavers.com/about/general/press/
[04:20] <Magnesium> !microsoft office
[04:20] <cap>   UseLinux Well, if they don't read, they don't have any busniess here.
[04:20] <FFForever2> anyone know how to turn an avi to dvd?
[04:20] <EvaJoycelynn> hiie
[04:20] <UseLinux> oh ha ha.
[04:21] <FFForever2> did i say something funny?
[04:21] <UseLinux> FFForever2 is funny.
[04:21] <scunizi> FFForever2: http://handbreak.fr
[04:21] <ZykoticK9> FFForever2, gui app devede (in repo)
[04:21] <crohakon> damn, if msoffice2007 install via wine I got another 350gb hd to play with on this laptop. =)
[04:21] <phil_fl> !hi | UseLinux
[04:21] <UseLinux> Yes! (I have a good sense of humor)
[04:21] <Magnesium> FFForever2: No, joke (?) from before you got here
[04:21] <FFForever2> uselinux, why am i funny?
[04:21] <UseLinux> idk
[04:21] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m477a2920
[04:22] <UseLinux> i must leave now
[04:22] <scunizi> crohakon: don't count on it.. however :).... you can run windows in virtualbox from inside of ubuntu for those "must have" apps..
[04:22] <FFForever2> bye
[04:22] <cap> !info devede
[04:22] <kakashi> hi guys, can i get some help downloading a full repository ?
[04:22] <FFForever2> ZykoticK9, will i run into sound issues?, this is going to be a wedding dvd
[04:22] <andresj> lstarnes: should I set a bridge interface? because it doesn't seem to be working with the firewall disabled (or enabled :P)
[04:22] <EvaJoycelynn> hii kakashi
[04:22] <kakashi> hi EvaJoycelynn
[04:22] <roffe> crohakon, just be prepared to know that Wine runs some software badly, or not at all. Other than that it's great
[04:22] <FFForever2> would be insulting if the brides voice didn't match up
[04:23] <ZykoticK9> FFForever2, ? don't know what problems you might have.  I got sound in my DVDs.
[04:23] <howitzer`> Approx when today is the RC out?
[04:23] <Magnesium> FFForever2: haha, her mouth moves when he says the vows, and vice versa :P
[04:23] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: okay I've switch them back....
[04:23] <Boogerslinger_> can anyone help me copy a file to external hdd
[04:23] <meanieface> crohakon: here is a thread that shows you how to install office via wine http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1173365&highlight=microsoft
[04:23] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok pastebin it one more time
[04:23] <cap> ! apt-mirror
[04:23] <kakashi> EvaJoycelynn i been using apt-mirror, but i think is not working
[04:23] <FFForever2> Magnesium, moves yes... same word... doubt it... last time i tried this it didn't work out 2 well lol
[04:24] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: cp /path/to/file/<file> /media/<name of device like sdc1
[04:24] <EvaJoycelynn> hmmm how come kakashi
[04:24] <EvaJoycelynn> any notice came out?
[04:24] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4fb192b7
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> crohakon, don't delete windows just yet -- Word gets a Silver rating on winehq.org http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10

[04:25] <cap> !info apt-mirror
[04:25] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi i dont get all the commands yet
[04:25] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, is the one ending in c, or a ur / drive. I believe it is a
[04:25] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: do you know windows dos commands?
[04:26] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi no
[04:26] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi well kinda
[04:26] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi but have only had ubuntu for like two days
[04:26] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: yes /dev/sr0 is a optical drive
[04:26] <Magnesium> scunizi: try #windows
[04:27] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: well.. you learn one at a time.. cp is copy .. then the next statement is where the file is located followed by the location you want to put it.. /media is a directory where your drives etc are typically mounted..
[04:27] <scunizi> Magnesium: I'm not giving windows help.. why go to #windows
[04:27] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok,. hold 1 sec
[04:28] <nazojan> hi all
[04:28] <mtx1> I am running ubuntu 9.04 and have 2 pcs with gigabit cards and a gigabit switch. I am running cat5e cable and for some reason i only can connect at 10Mb/s with both my 9.04 linux boxes anyone know what the problem could be? I have searched google for hrs and still have the same problem
[04:28] <kakashi> the problem is that apt-mirror only tells that is downloading 80 index files in 20 threads but no download size info or something
[04:28] <Magnesium> scunizi: Oh sorry...didn't see the conversation close enough...I thought you wanted to know dos commands...pardon me.
[04:29] <dshepherd> hey, I want to create a movie: slideshow of pictures with audio in the background. what app can i use?
[04:29] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: this is a good adventure.. you'll find by learning your system the linux way and not expecting it to behave like windows.. it will give you a much better understanding on how your machine work.. and it's fun!
[04:29] <BoxMagnet> ok LinuX2half http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/mea0ffb8
[04:29] <scunizi> Magnesium: no problem :)
[04:29] <snowball> sup?
[04:29] <GBGames> Does anyone have any experience getting Ekiga to work? As far as I know, the configuration should be fine (using STUN since the Ekiga wiki says I should), but I can't seem to connect to the echo test.
[04:29] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, if it does not work, switch just the UUID one more time. if not im stumpted
[04:29] <nazojan> I am new to ubuntu I recently installed it I have a sound problem can any one help me?
[04:29] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, try this before you go.
[04:30] <cap> !audio
[04:30] <BoxMagnet> sudo update-initramfs -u
[04:30] <ZykoticK9> dshepherd, i haven't used it but "Smile" available from getdeb.net - seems to fit the bill.  Good luck.
[04:30] <nazojan> the sound is very very low hardly you can hear it and my sound card is SoundMax Audio Driver
[04:30] <dshepherd> ZykoticK9: thanks
[04:30] <scunizi> GBGames: does it actually connect but you just can't hear anything?
[04:30] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: hm, okay so I'll copy everything to the file?
[04:30] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi yeah i just need to learn it LOL
[04:31] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, then run, sudo update-initramfs -u
[04:31] <snowball> nazojan: right click on the sound icon and make sure the output is all the way up
[04:31] <nazojan> yes it is I did
[04:31] <CaptainMorgan> got multiple tabs within a terminal window open... every time I go to close it, it asks me for confirmation - how do I remove that confirmation message?
[04:31] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: it seemed that the line proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 isn't originally in the file...
[04:31] <GBGames> scunizi: I finally found the General History which tells me that it says "Remote user is unreachable"
[04:31] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, it should be
[04:31] <dshepherd> ZykoticK9: its not available for hardy.... *sigh*
[04:31] <CaptainMorgan> is it in gconf-editor ?
[04:31] <cap> nazojan: Turn up Master and/or PCM
[04:31] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: sometimes it's a large learning curve but the best approach (for me anyway) is to learn what you need first then experiment..
[04:31]  * dshepherd grumbles about compiling
[04:31] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi if i want to copy file from my videos to my external could you give me a example
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> dshepherd, sorry man, lead you astray did I -- ?
[04:32] <scunizi> GBGames: If there is a place to put in an address for a stun server you can try stun.ekiga.net
[04:32]  * howitzer` compiles about.grumbling
[04:32] <dshepherd> ZykoticK9: its ok. thanks anyways
[04:32] <nazojan> yes it is
[04:32] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: well.. with gui or commandline?
[04:32] <nazojan> thanks for all in advance help
[04:32] <GBGames> scunizi: Yep, it's already in there.
[04:33] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, did you run sudo update-initramfs -u’
[04:33] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: yes it finished updating
[04:33] <CaptainMorgan> nevermind, it is in gconf-editor... wasn't orginally sure it would be that easy to find
[04:33] <GBGames> I wonder if the router needs to be forward ports, even though the wiki says I shouldn't need to do anything more.
[04:33] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok reboot
[04:33] <pfifo> b0xxy?
[04:33] <b0xxy> hi my name is boxxy
[04:33] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: alright then I'll be back...
[04:33] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi see im not sure what you just asked me ;)
[04:33] <pfifo> not here too *facepalm*
[04:33] <BoxMagnet> GBGames, is it on ur local network?
[04:33] <scunizi> GBGames: then erase it and save.. try to connect without it.... with a stun server you shouldn't need port forwarding.. you could also use stun01.sipphone.com  that's what stun.ekiga.net points to.
[04:34] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi too used to windows
[04:34] <GBGames> BoxMagnet: Is what on my local network?
[04:34] <perlsyntax> when is ubuntu 9.10 come out on the oct 22?
[04:34] <BoxMagnet> GBGames, are the 2 machines on your local network?
[04:34] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: do you want to do the copy using the desktop file manager or type commands into a black box?
[04:34] <GBGames> scunizi: Ok, I'll try it.
[04:34] <roffe> perlsyntax, it's on the 29 th
[04:34] <perlsyntax> what going on the oct 22 i looked up
[04:34] <perlsyntax> on it
[04:34] <scunizi> GBGames: try it both ways.. without the server listed and with the other one.,
[04:35] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi see i tried to drag and drop and it gave me an error
[04:35] <roffe> perlsyntax, windows 7 is released today
[04:35] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: what did it say?
[04:35] <howitzer`> When, approximately, is the RC out today?
[04:35] <GBGames> BoxMagnet: 2 machines? I'm trying to use the Ekiga server's echo service.
[04:35] <scunizi> roffe: oh boy....
[04:35] <leaf-sheep> howitzer`: Today.
[04:35] <howitzer`> leaf-sheep: Really?
[04:35] <dsnyders> Hi all!  What's chipcardd4?
[04:36] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi  Error opening file '/media/disk/The Proposal[2009]DvDrip[Eng]-FXG.avi': Permission denied
[04:36] <BoxMagnet> GBGames, ok, id forward the ports if you know what they are. sorry for the misread
[04:36] <snowball> !chipcardd4
[04:36] <snowball> !chipcard4
[04:36] <roffe> scunizi, well there's a more important release a little later :)
[04:36] <dsnyders> !chipcardd4
[04:36] <scunizi> roffe: that's what I was thinking :)
[04:36] <LinuX2half> Boxmagnet: well it seemed that it doesn't work.....
[04:36] <perlsyntax> i talking about the releaseCandidate on the oct 22?
[04:37] <GBGames> scunizi: Ok, neither one worked. I'm going to follow BoxMagnet's suggestion and forward the ports anyway.
[04:37] <snowball> !karmic
[04:37] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: but the bars are getting longer
[04:37] <perlsyntax> roffe
[04:37] <Delryk> hey guys im back. you helped lots last time. i have another question now. this is the question im trying to solve: 7.List all the lines in the “f3.txt” file that contain words with a character ‘b’ not followed by a character ‘e’. so far i have:    grep --colour '\<[^a-z]*[b][^e]*\>' f3.txt the only thing is that f3.txt has a line that is "the brown fox", which is found. and another line "problem" which is
[04:37] <Delryk> nt found. why cant it find the word problem ?
[04:37] <dsnyders> !chipcardd4
[04:37] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: /media/disk may be the usb drive.. if that's the case there is a permissions problem accessing it.. can you copy another smaller file to the drive? anything?
[04:37] <scunizi> GBGames: k
[04:37] <perlsyntax> ?
[04:37] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok, try swapping the UUID portions again then, do the update command sudo update-initramfs -u’
[04:38] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, reboot, and if it does not work I am sorry thats what that website says to do.
[04:38] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi just tried this Error opening file '/media/disk/07  Pink - Funhouse.mp3': Permission denied
[04:38] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi just a song
[04:39] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: make a copy then rename the copy using a name with no spaces in it..replace spaces with an underline character "_"
[04:39] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and pastebin what that line says
[04:39] <leaf-sheep> Boogerslinger_: The lazy solution would be to include a sudo in your command. :3  The approach solution would be to chown your /media/disk
[04:39] <crohakon> So, question. If I have vista install on another hard drive on my laptop, is there a way to load it from within linux?
[04:40] <sugarmagnolia> when i insert a video dvd, the default app that is launched is totem.  How can I change this to launch vlc instead?  I have looked high and low for some option someplace... ubuntu 8.04
[04:40] <Cyrano_De> Anyone have a link that talks about running games like Nexuiz with Dual screens?
[04:40] <cap> !info vbox
[04:40] <leaf-sheep> crohakon: Sure. You would mount the hard drive and give it path. (eg /media/vista-hdd) or something. ;o
[04:40] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: leaf-sheep is right.. go to applications>accessories>terminal
[04:40] <Cyrano_De> !info virtualbox
[04:41] <crohakon> lol
[04:41] <Cyrano_De> !info kvm
[04:41] <GBGames> scunizi: Huh. Still unreachable. B-(
[04:41] <leaf-sheep> !info virtualbox-ose | Cyrano_De
[04:41] <nazojan> snowball/cap: I think my issue is sound driver
[04:41] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi see this is what i need to learn the commands
[04:41] <scunizi> GBGames: wierd...
[04:41] <crohakon> So I can use virtual box to boot the current install of vista I have?
[04:41] <Delryk> hey guys i need some help understanding terminal grep. is there anyone here who can help me ?
[04:41] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: got terminal open?
[04:41] <joeb3_> sugarmagnolia, system prefs preferred apps
[04:41] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi yes
[04:41] <sugarmagnolia> that doesn't appear to work, joeb3_
[04:41] <scunizi> crohakon: yes.. get virtual box from their site..
[04:42] <leaf-sheep> Boogerslinger_: How do you know where everything goes in Vista when it came out?  You learn them over a period of time. :)
[04:42] <sugarmagnolia> i've added vlc as a custom app, but no luck
[04:42] <nanotube> Delryk: still working on that same problem?
[04:42] <Delryk> this is a different one nano
[04:42] <Delryk> i solved my other one
[04:42] <Boogerslinger_> leaf-sheep: never used vista just xp
[04:42] <nanotube> Delryk: nice :) what's the new one
[04:42] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: ok.. type sudo chown <your_user_name>:<your_user_name> /media/disk
[04:42] <Delryk> grep '\<[^aeiou]*[aeiou][^aeiou]*\>' f3.txt
[04:42] <Delryk> thats the old one
[04:42] <joeb3_> sugarmagnolia, did you use the full path?
[04:42] <leaf-sheep> Boogerslinger_: Change Vista to XP in the said question. ;o
[04:42] <sugarmagnolia> no... i can try that, but i know it's in my path
[04:43] <GBGames> scunizi: I even added my IP to the DMZ on my router, so it can't be a forwarded ports thing...huh.
[04:43] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: don't use the <'s
[04:43] <Delryk> \nanotube hey
[04:43] <Delryk> hmm
[04:43] <Delryk> how do i whisper ?
[04:43] <sugarmagnolia> joeb3_: actually, even with that custom entry for vlc in there, it still launches totem, so i'm not sure this is the right place.
[04:43] <nanotube> Delryk: /msg
[04:43] <scunizi> GBGames: did you just install? and did you do all the updates?
[04:43] <nanotube> Delryk: or /query for a private chat
[04:43] <crohakon> Okay, next question? How do I do that neat 3d cube thing =)
[04:44] <Delryk> lol
[04:44] <Delryk> nano can u inv me to private ?
[04:44] <GBGames> scunizi: Well, I had tried to configure it some time ago, but I found that my old router didn't let me forward ports. Now I have a new router, and I'm trying again.
[04:44] <nanotube> Delryk: we're already there...
[04:44] <nanotube> Delryk: didn't you get my response?
[04:44] <Delryk> yeah i noticed
[04:44] <scunizi> GBGames: which version of ekiga?
[04:44] <nanotube> Delryk: ok :)
[04:44] <GBGames> 2.0.12
[04:45] <scunizi> GBGames: what version of ubuntu?
[04:45] <RPG_Master> Why can't I watch Quicktime videos in firefox?
[04:45] <Cyrano_De> Anyone know how to get Nexuiz to play nice with dual screens?
[04:45] <GBGames> scunizi: When I check the about page, it says "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu
[04:45] <GBGames>                 - the  - released in .
[04:45] <GBGames> 				"
[04:46] <GBGames> But I believe it is the version of Ubuntu previous to the latest.
[04:46] <GBGames> scunizi: Ah, here we go. Update Manager says that I can upgrade to 9.04, so I must have the previous version, 8.10, if I remember correctly.
[04:47] <scunizi> GBGames: k.. that's an OLD version of ekiga.. they are up to 3.5.x and it looks MUCH nicer.. I'll see if I can find a ppa link for the download..
[04:47] <vangorra> Hey all. I'm running karmic. When I login, trackerd is eating all my disk IO it takes minutes to login. Any ideas?
[04:47] <cap> RPG_Master: You just need to tell firefox what to do with .mov
[04:47] <RPG_Master> cap: I'll try that
[04:48] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi that worked thank you
[04:48] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi how ??
[04:48] <leaf-sheep> !karmic | vangorra
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Delryk: Why the "[^a-z]*" ? That will make it pretty much only match words that start with "b"
[04:49] <vangorra> leaf-sheep, thanks
[04:49] <cedriczg> vangorra, If you want you can turn off that service for your startup services
[04:49] <vangorra> cedriczg, I know, I was just curious what could be going on
[04:49] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: what you did was to make the disk owner "you" instead of whoever it was assigned to .. probably "root" or admin in windows speak
[04:49] <RPG_Master> cap: mov is not listed :(
[04:49] <cedriczg> vangorra, It happens to me as well whenever I have new data on my machine
[04:50] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi so how do i learn to do that without help ???
[04:50] <Flannel> Jordan_U: No, that means it doesn't match lowercase letters
[04:50] <cap> RPG_Master: well, not sure.. just checked and mine does it... so. Just a sec.
[04:50] <cedriczg> vangorra, Like lets say new images, mail, etc
[04:50] <leaf-sheep> Boogerslinger_: Search engines helped. Everybody here is not armed with knowledge instantly.  We learned it by facing the problems ourselves once and whatnot.
[04:51] <Jordan_U> Flannel: True, but it's still not part of his stated requirements
[04:51] <cedriczg> vangorra, It's what it is meant to do. If you prefer you can update the database for locate when you want and use locate command instead of tracerd
[04:51] <fizk_> hey guys, what's wrong with this line:   find .|xargs grep -l 'a'|sed -sir 's/a/ hello /g'
[04:51] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: one command at a time .. here.. on www.ubuntuforums.org and you might consider downloading the pdf for the ubuntu quick reference guide.. I'll see if I can find the link
[04:51] <Flannel> Delryk: You should move this regular expression stuff to #ubuntu-offtopic.  This isn't really a proper channel for it. thanks.
[04:51] <cedriczg> fizk_, what are you trying to do?
[04:51] <cap> RPG_Master: May be that you just dont' have codec for mov  You could install mplayer
[04:52] <fizk_> cedriczg: run sed on some files
[04:52] <fizk_> cedriczg: replace inline
[04:52] <cap> RPG_Master: Which will in turn intall a lot of extra codecs
[04:52] <cedriczg> try to run the commands pipe after pipe
[04:52] <RPG_Master> cap: I already have mplayer installed :(
[04:52] <scunizi> GBGames: here is it.. read carefully.. there's a link to click for releases prior to 9.10.. https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive/ekiga-stable-prerelease
[04:52] <GBGames> scunizi: Thanks!
[04:52] <cedriczg> fizk_, try to run the commands one by one and start adding the pipes
[04:53] <fizk_> cedriczg: i did
[04:53] <KnifeySpooney> Hi, how do I force apt-get to download the files (-d switch) when the package is already installed?
[04:53] <KnifeySpooney> Right now it just says 0 to upgrade/0 to install/0 to remove
[04:53] <cedriczg> fizk_, maybe you are trying "find ./xargs grep -l 'a'|sed -sir 's/a/ hello /g"
[04:53] <dajhorn> KnifeySpooney: Add --reinstall
[04:53] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: ok.. here it is.. the link is right of  dead center at the top http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html
[04:54] <cedriczg> fizk_, sorry...maybe you are trying "find ./xargs | grep -l 'a'|sed -sir 's/a/ hello /g"
[04:54] <scunizi> GBGames: enjoy!
[04:54] <cap> RPG_Master: How about vlc?
[04:54] <fizk_> cedriczg: nope
[04:54] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi thank you very much man
[04:54] <cap> RPG_Master: Have you run xine yet?
[04:54] <dajhorn> KnifeySpooney: You may already have the deb in the /var/cache/apt directory somewhere.
[04:54] <cedriczg> fizk_, I see xargs is a command...
[04:54] <fizk_> cedriczg:  can you try it?
[04:55] <scunizi> Boogerslinger_: everyone has to start somewhere!.. also on B&N or Amazon are lots of ubuntu books
[04:55] <KnifeySpooney> dajhorn: Yeah i know, i'm trying to move over some installed debs to my other computer
[04:55] <RPG_Master> strange, this won't work: http://www.apple.com/imac/the-new-imac/#small
[04:55] <cedriczg> try sed -sirn
[04:55] <crohakon> okay... so how the heck do I run the currently installed vista on my other hard drive via virtual host? And if I do so, am I going to f it up?
[04:55] <KnifeySpooney> dajhorn: Would you happen to know how to do the same thing with build-dep?
[04:55] <Boogerslinger_> scunizi cool thank you
[04:55] <KnifeySpooney> dajhorn: woops, i mean apt-get build-dep
[04:55] <RPG_Master> but this will: http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/wherethewildthingsare/
[04:55] <Jordan_U> fizk_: That command will run "grep -l 'a'" on all of the files from find, and pass the output from that to sed. Is that what you want?
[04:55] <cedriczg> fizk_, try sed -sirn
[04:55] <RPG_Master> :O
[04:56] <cedriczg> fizk_, not sure what -sir option do, but maybe option -n does what you are expecting
[04:56] <leaf-sheep> KnifeySpooney: You can use "cd ~/Desktop ; sudo aptitude download pidgin" and it'll download the .deb for you on Desktop ;o
[04:56] <scunizi> crohakon: you can't run an already install version of windows in a vm.. you have to install it in the vm
[04:56] <KnifeySpooney> leaf-sheep: I need dependencies too
[04:56] <fizk_> cedriczg: n makes it quiet
[04:56] <fizk_> ?
[04:57] <crohakon> scunizi; oh, damn, thats not what I was told a little bit ago. blah
[04:57] <leaf-sheep> !clone | KnifeySpooney
[04:57] <dajhorn> KnifeySpooney: There are apt-* helper packages to move debs to disconnected computer.  Look at something like apt-zip.
[04:57] <dsnyders> So... chipcardd4?  Useless waste of CPU?
[04:57] <cedriczg> fizk_, let me check
[04:57] <leaf-sheep> !aptoncd | KnifeySpooney
[04:57] <carpediem> scunizi, crohakon: you can convert a standard disk into a VM.
[04:57] <cedriczg> fizk_, " suppress automatic printing of pattern space"
[04:57] <cap> RPG_Master: Flash Player (Adobe)?
[04:58] <KnifeySpooney> leaf-sheep: Thanks. I read of that earlier (i'm trying to help someone in the forums) and it's already been suggested by someone else
[04:58] <crohakon> carpediem; and what does that mean and how will that effect the installation of vista? Would I still be able to boot into it via grub later/
[04:58] <KnifeySpooney> but this guy seemed to be interested in my way
[04:58] <[1]SpaceGhost> Good evening friends.
[04:59] <leaf-sheep> KnifeySpooney: I see.
[04:59] <scunizi> carpediem: crohakon that's true.. vmware makes a converter but be aware that if you do that and leave your other install.. once the converted file is "activated" with microsoft in the vm then the other install will not be active anymore.. you can run the same copy of windows on two machines which is what you will be essentially doing.
[04:59] <carpediem> crohakon: you boot into a LiveCD, then convert an unmounted disk to a VM.  What you do is up to you.  You could save it somewhere, install something else onto that disk, then use it as a VM there.
[04:59] <howitzer`> Good morning freundling.
[04:59] <RPG_Master> cap: Does this work for you? http://www.apple.com/imac/the-new-imac/#small
[04:59] <coyo> hello, i just installed ubuntu onto a computer built from scratch, and i wish to enable an ati radeon hd 4870 card, which does not seem to be detected. i am able to use onboard video. how do i use the card with ubuntu?
[04:59] <scunizi> crohakon: carpediem *can't run two
[04:59] <boysen> need help to set up vanity ip
[05:00] <boysen> can set up vanity without owning a domain name?
[05:00] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: what do you mean? A static IP?
[05:00] <crohakon> carpediem; does not seem worth the trouble. I guess I am just going to leave vista installed on the other hard drive and when I need to use office for work I will just boot it up.
[05:00] <boysen> alias ip
[05:00] <boysen> like  hahaha.org
[05:00] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: Do you mean a domain name? You'd need a domain, or use dyndns.org.
[05:00] <scunizi> crohakon: what do you do in office that absolutely needs ms office?
[05:01] <carpediem> crohakon: up to you.  Clonezilla is the software to do it, if you decide to
[05:01] <boysen> i see
[05:01] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: That is called a Domain name, it's not a license plate. Domain name.
[05:01] <firdau5> hi all
[05:01] <cedriczg> fizk_, Again... which was the command you are trying?
[05:01] <firdau5> I got a problem
[05:01] <crohakon> scunizi; I use it to create menus and sell sheets.
[05:01] <boysen> if i have a domain name can i use that alias name on mirc?
[05:01] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: Your options are thus: Buy a domain, or use dyndns.com.
[05:01] <firdau5> I cant play *.wmv files
[05:02] <scunizi> crohakon: graphics work and a little spreadsheets?
[05:02] <evilaim> lefty
[05:02] <evilaim> you should see this desktop
[05:02] <evilaim> haha
[05:02] <fizk_> cedriczg: brb
[05:02] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: Is the point just to have a special name in IRC?
[05:02] <carpediem> zoneedit = free dns, I've used it for free for 8 years.
[05:02] <scunizi> crohakon: what's a "sell sheet"?
[05:02] <DaZ> firdau5: codecs
[05:02] <boysen> nope
[05:02] <boysen> :P
[05:02] <firdau5> Its says mss2 codecs missing
[05:02] <coyo> firdau5: you can enable wmv playing capability with the ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[05:02] <boysen> just want to learn how to set up vanity ip
[05:02] <firdau5> DaZ, can you help me?
[05:02] <Flannel> boysen: What do you mean by vanity ip?
[05:02] <[1]SpaceGhost> boysen: Buy a domain name, or use dyndns.
[05:03] <firdau5> tell me the details coyo,
[05:03] <[1]SpaceGhost> Boysen: learn the nomanclature, it's called a domain.
[05:03] <crohakon> scunizi; For restaurants. The problem I have is that the work computers use office2007, so if I want to do any work at home I need to use office as openoffice and other alternatives murder xdoc files.
[05:03] <Flannel> [1]SpaceGhost: Please be polite
[05:03] <leaf-sheep> crohakon: Save the files as .doc
[05:03] <coyo> firdau5: okay, what you do is click on System > Administration > Synaptic
[05:03] <crohakon> The formatting also gets murdered with .doc files.
[05:04] <firdau5> ok.. then?
[05:04] <scunizi> crohakon: yea.. and office 2003 & 2000 also do the same thing.. how 'bout installing OpenOffice on the work machine and you'd be set in both worlds?
[05:04] <coyo> firdau5: then type "restricted" in the search bar
[05:04] <crohakon> Its just that the alternatives, although close, still kill the over all flow of the documents.
[05:04] <firdau5> ok.. then?
[05:04] <coyo> select the "ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and install them
[05:04] <[1]SpaceGhost> flannel: I was, I was letting him know to learn the nomanclature, as the terms are not interchangable. I'd appreciate it if you'd apply the thought that humor doesn't translate on the internet to my messages. Don't assume I'm being rude.
[05:05] <coyo> you should be able to play wmv container formatted a/v fine then
[05:05] <firdau5> ubuntu-restricted-extras.. ok
[05:05] <Flannel> [1]SpaceGhost: Exactly.  Humor doesn't translate.  Don't be condescending of people because they're new.
[05:05] <coyo> yup
[05:05] <boysen> that's very deep spaceghost :P
[05:05] <coyo> let me know if it works or not
[05:05] <boysen> i cant dig it :P
[05:05] <crohakon> scunizi; And I should expect the other employees to convert just for me? And also, to be honest, I have attempted to create duplicate documents in open office from scratch just to see how they turn out and open office just does not compare. Its hard to explain without showing.
[05:06] <cedriczg> fizk_, would "find .|xargs grep -l 'a'|sed -sir 's/a/ hello /g' " do what you are looking for?
[05:06] <[1]SpaceGhost> Flannel, I think you need to back off a bit friend. I wasn't being rude, thank you for your opinion though.
[05:06] <Flannel> boysen: What is it you want to set up?
[05:06] <befamous> hi
[05:06] <firdau5> waiting to downloading files
[05:06] <boysen> my ftp i cannot connect in my other computer and i want to learn how to set up vanity ip
[05:06] <boysen> vhost ip
[05:07] <Flannel> boysen: You want to connect to something like ihaveadomain.com?
[05:07] <befamous> im trying to get a fullscreen on tty1 - but i cant find any doc
[05:07] <boysen> yap
[05:07] <boysen> yap
[05:07] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: Oh man, it still doesn't work....
[05:07] <Help1> hi anyone here
[05:07] <fizk_> cedriczg:  find . -type f -exec sed -ir 's/a/ hello/g' {} \;
[05:07] <Flannel> boysen: There's two separate issues there.  One is connecting (which you'll need to set up port forwarding for) and then the domain name is another one.  You should be able to connect just fine using the IP (assuming everything's set up properly)
[05:07] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: maybe the UUID WASN"T involve in this kind of situation..
[05:07] <cedriczg> fizk_, Yes that may execute that command on those files
[05:07] <Help1> iam getting a grub error how do i reconfigure  to boot again
[05:08] <fizk_> cedriczg:  thanks, it works :)
[05:08] <Help1> iam on live ct
[05:08] <Help1> cd
[05:08] <Flannel> boysen: As far as a vanity domain name, dyndns will do it for free, it's probably your best bet
[05:08] <evilaim> Man I'm a geek
[05:08] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, what do you see on the screen of that computer
[05:08] <scunizi> crohakon: having worked in both worlds I know what you're up against.. OOo draw is better for layout then the wordprocessor but won't translate.. scribus is a great desktop publishing program and works on both platforms .. but.. it's tough teaching something new and if there are others (didn't know that).. it makes it that much more difficult.
[05:08] <josh> alsa-lib no longer exists on ubuntu?
[05:08] <boysen> yesterday i can connect to my box via ftp today i cant connection refuse
[05:09] <Flannel> boysen: Ah.  Did you restart your box?
[05:09] <ae86-drifter> boysen: u connected to it boefre/
[05:09] <Help1> anyone know ho to retrieve the grub/menu.lst
[05:09] <ae86-drifter> sorry, have you connected to it in the past?
[05:09] <boysen> yap yeterday
[05:09] <crohakon> scunizi; what is scribus?
[05:09] <boysen> today i  cannot connect
[05:09] <ae86-drifter> k yeah restart it check all your settings
[05:09] <scunizi> Help1: retrieve?  it's located at /boot/grub/menu.list or .lst
[05:10] <ae86-drifter> its pretty straight forawrd normally
[05:10] <Flannel> boysen: What probably happened is your box got a new IP (on the subnet) so your port forwarding doesn't work anymore.  You're behind a router, right?
[05:10] <Help1> iam on live cd at the moment what is the procedure
[05:10] <cedriczg> Help1, cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:10] <dsnyders> Help1, what are you trying to do?
[05:10] <phil_fl> !info scribus | crohakon
[05:10] <boysen> yap im using seimen
[05:11] <Help1> somehow my grub got corrupted
[05:11] <scunizi> crohakon: it's a full desktop publishing program.. you can do magazines, newspapers, flyers menus, business cards etc.. with print ready PDF output in cmyk etc.. there's even a book on amazon for it.. it takes a while to get use to but is really fantastic.. also their irc at #scribus is very helpful.. most times I end up talking to the author.
[05:11] <cedriczg> Help1, Did you try "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" on terminal ?
[05:11] <Flannel> boysen: Righ, try setting up a static IP on your box, that way the port forwards will always work: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/internet/C/connecting-wired.html#connecting-wired-manual
[05:11] <coyo> firdou5: how are you coming along?
[05:11] <Help1> yes it didnt work
[05:12] <crohakon> scunizi; And it is also for windows?
[05:12] <ae86-drifter> boysen: has ur server box got a dedicated IP
[05:12] <scunizi> crohakon: yep.. a good companion program for creating svg graphics etc is inkscape
[05:12] <cedriczg> Help1, That way you can look what it has on it
[05:13] <coyo> firdou5: hilight my name when you are done installing and have tried it
[05:13] <Help1> its telling me no such file or directorey
[05:13] <crohakon> scunizi; just installed it, I will check it out.
[05:13] <firdau5> coyo, I got same problem
[05:13] <boysen> im using dsl connection
[05:13] <cedriczg> Help1, Try to see if you have this file /boot/grub/menu.lst~
[05:14] <scunizi> crohakon: there's usually two versions in the repos.. one ending in -ng .. -ng is typically the more recent version
[05:14] <cedriczg> Help1, That would be a backup
[05:14] <firdau5> coyo : still cant play the files
[05:14] <coyo> awww
[05:14] <coyo> that's interesting, it always worked for me
[05:14] <boysen> dedicated ip?
[05:14] <scunizi> crohakon: they also have a repo for ubuntu to get the absolute latest.. sometimes it's worth it..
[05:14] <ae86-drifter> boysen: i thought it was a remote server, so it is on your internal network??
[05:14] <firdau5> No suitable decoder module:
[05:14] <firdau5> VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[05:14] <Help1> do i need to mount the disk first to get to it
[05:15] <crohakon> scunizi; I used the add/remove programs option under the applocations menu, will that get me the latest?
[05:15] <coyo> try opening it with totem
[05:15] <BoxMagnet> Help1, absolutely.
[05:15] <cedriczg> Help1, Yes. But you can try to do the changes using a Live CD
[05:15] <boysen> i have problem with remote access but internal it's okey
[05:16] <josh> How do I install alsa-lib from command line?  I run 'sudo apt-get install alsa-lib' and I get the error "package alsa-lib does not exist"
[05:16] <scunizi> crohakon: no.. use synaptic or scribus' repos ... it is a mental shift to use scribus.. don't expect to do things like in a word processor or MS Publisher.. it's different..
[05:16] <ae86-drifter> boysen: oh k well make sure you forward port 21 to the internal ip of your server, then u should be able to access it externally
[05:16] <boysen> ic  i will go to my network modem to check it
[05:16] <dsnyders> cedriczg, /boot/grub/menu.lst would be the menu.lst on the live CD, not the corrupted one.
[05:16] <boysen> the port forwarding
[05:16] <ae86-drifter> yes
[05:17] <cedriczg> dsnyders, Yes you are right
[05:17] <nn123> hello! ive a question... every time i run flash videos or... play some games like chess games, my intel core 2 duo runs like hell, not even in other computers running cd4 the processor works so hard, why is that?
[05:17] <ne0futur> josh: apt-cache search alsa | grep lib
[05:17] <crohakon> scunizi; I see that already, but it has already slightly grown on me. I am going to try to reproduce some of my menus with it and see how they turn out.
[05:18] <ae86-drifter> and when you connect externally with the ftp client make sure you use the external(internet) IP, not your internal network IP
[05:18] <cedriczg> Help1, If you use a live CD then you should check for file /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:18] <dsnyders> cedriczg, YOu'd have to get Help1 to look at the /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst or whatever it is.
[05:19] <cedriczg> Help1, Where disk would be the name of your disk
[05:19] <scunizi> crohakon: I think that after using it for a while you'll get hooked.. remember that when creating a text box you can right mouse click on it and "edit text" .. you can also F2 afterwards for more adjustment options.
[05:19] <josh> ne0futur, all the guides say I should be installing "alsa-lib", and it's even on canonical's site, but it's not showing up with a 'apt-cache search alsa | grep lib'
[05:19] <josh> ne0futur, http://ns2.canonical.com/ko/source/karmic/alsa-lib
[05:20] <josh> Not sure if I'm running karmic though
[05:20] <lstarnes> josh: check lsb_release -a
[05:20] <crohakon> scunizi; so for the text box's you save the text in a separate file and it grabs it from there?
[05:20] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: hey
[05:20] <josh> lstarnes, ne0futur, jaunty
[05:20] <scunizi> crohakon: no you don't have to do that.. it's just an option.
[05:21] <boysen> any idea what is this feature in my router set up --->Enable full Internet Gateway Device (IGD) support
[05:21] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: well sadly it doesn't seem to have any effect on my computer
[05:21] <ae86-drifter> boysen : no
[05:21] <ae86-drifter> boysen : it is called port forwarding, sigh
[05:21] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok ..... please keep posting here. someone will know exactly what to do.
[05:21] <josh> It's in the repo for jaunty also
[05:21] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, anything else you can tell me about the problem?
[05:21] <ae86-drifter> boysen, goto portforward.com
[05:21] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: but when I press the keys during the login window the screen is blank/black
[05:21] <boysen> UPnp configuration
[05:21] <scunizi> boysen: ae86-drifter some routers do port forwarding in the "Gaming" section
[05:22] <ae86-drifter> boysen, NO
[05:22] <crohakon> scunizi; oh I see, you click update text frame.
[05:22] <ae86-drifter> it may be called virtual server
[05:22] <scunizi> crohakon: now you're getting the hang of it :)
[05:22] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: I did a recovery session to repair any graphical problems....
[05:22] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, you can get to the login window?
[05:22] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: yes
[05:22] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, ok... why dont you login then?
[05:22] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: I did
[05:22] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, or only xterm will work?
[05:23] <Help1> grr i cant even mount it
[05:23] <ae86-drifter> boysen, goto portforward.com, it will give you a tutorial for your specific router
[05:23] <boysen> what will happen if i turn off my firewall level to off?
[05:23] <ae86-drifter> boysen, dont change any settings except port forwarding
[05:23] <Help1> could someone help me pls...
[05:23] <boysen> ic
[05:23] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: well the keys didn't work but I don't know if it'll work after I enter recovery mode
[05:23] <cedriczg> Help1, Are you using a live CD now?
[05:23] <ae86-drifter> boysen: what brand router is it
[05:23] <Help1> yes cedriczg
[05:23] <boysen> se567
[05:23] <BoxMagnet> LinuX2half, try it
[05:23] <crohakon> scunizi; Yeah, I could really come to like this program. Like I said, I will play around for a bit. Try to redo some of my menus with it and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip man.
[05:23] <boysen> SE567
[05:23] <ae86-drifter> boysen: WTF?
[05:24] <cedriczg> Help1, Did you try Places and click on your disk there?
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> boysen: BRAND, not model
[05:24] <boysen> SEImen 567
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> oh ok
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> well
[05:24] <scunizi> crohakon: have fun and spread the joy :)
[05:24] <Help1> dont come up
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> did you goto portforward.com?
[05:24] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: well its getting late for me and I need to rest so I can't do another reboot, but let say that it doesn't work, then basically we just ran out of ideas.
[05:24] <boysen> yap
[05:24] <Macer> is /etc/timezone a link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/ ?
[05:24] <Help1> ok just came up
[05:24] <ae86-drifter> boysen, goto portforward.com, it will give you a tutorial for your specific router, follow the tutorial, each router is different
[05:24] <Help1> where is the file located
[05:25] <Macer> or do you just add your actual zone to it like Americas/Chicago
[05:25] <Macer> ?
[05:25] <LinuX2half> boxmagnet: So I think I'll come back tomorrow
[05:25] <LinuX2half> Boxmagnet: thanks for the help nonetheless
[05:25] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: Well this problem seemed recent so its not a long term problem
[05:26] <Macer> i can't seem to sync the clock correctly
[05:26] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: So I'm sure there's a fix to it, somehow anyway....................
[05:27] <LinuX2half> BoxMagnet: So Good Night :)

[05:28] <user__> user

[05:28] <ae86-drifter> Darkoman, google is helpful for that
[05:29] <Help1> hmm when i press on boot folder there nothing there
[05:29] <ae86-drifter> Darkoman, or check out sourceforge.net
[05:29] <cedriczg> Help1, hmmm
[05:29] <cedriczg> Help1, Try this out. Open a terminal window
[05:29] <Help1> ok go
[05:30] <cedriczg> Help1, And go to your disk root
[05:30] <Help1> ok done sudo -s
[05:31] <Help1> and what do i do know?
[05:31] <vox> ae86-drifter: a bit less attitude would be useful, too.
[05:31] <cedriczg> Help1, I am checking which command would be better to find the file menu.lst
[05:31] <RobotCow> how can i make ssh server or vnc server run on the hamachi interface????
[05:32] <boysen> ubuntu 9.10 is coming 8 days to go
[05:32] <vox> Help1: run  sudo updatedb
[05:33] <vox> Help1: once that finishes run   locate menu.lst
[05:33] <cedriczg> Help1, Try  "find -iname *menu.lst" and wait
[05:34] <cedriczg> Help1, Maybe better try "sudo find -iname *menu.lst"
[05:34] <scunizi> how bout "locate menu.lst".. after sudo updatedb ..
[05:35] <cedriczg> scunizi, That would work if it is on a pATH for locate. But it seems he has no boot folder...
[05:35] <tred> i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[05:35] <tred> oops, missed half that, lol
[05:35] <cedriczg> scunizi, and that would get him the menu.lst from his live CD
[05:35] <scunizi> cedriczg: oh.. that would make a difference..
[05:35] <boysen> how come linux sometimes pain in the ass :P
[05:36] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma decently in a headless jaunty? i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[05:36] <cedriczg> Help1, Did you get any results?

[05:36] <Help1> nope nothing
[05:36] <cedriczg> Help1, Did you run it with sudo ?
[05:36] <boysen> even if u follow the instructions sometimes there are some problems
[05:37] <Help1> yes
[05:37] <cedriczg> Help1, ok, keep waiting and try as well on another terminal the command "locate menu.lst"

[05:41] <dsnyders> Help1, how many partitions on that drive?
[05:41] <vox> Guest18772: 95% of hardware just /works/ under linux, you dont need specific drivers
[05:42] <NewbieLInux101> my ddr is 1 gb is that enough to run a server?
[05:42] <vox> NewbieLInux101: what sort of server
[05:42] <NewbieLInux101> 160 gb hd
[05:42] <Guest18772> oh thats right thx alot vox
[05:42] <nanotube> NewbieLInux101: depends on what you'll be serving on it and to how many people :)
[05:42] <nanotube> NewbieLInux101: if it's not anything too heavy, 1gb ought to be enough.
[05:42] <NewbieLInux101> eggdrop ftp apache ssh vnc ircd
[05:43] <vox> NewbieLInux101: should be plenty
[05:43] <Guest18772> hey can any one tell me what diffrence betwen linux and windows

[05:43] <tck9> i have a sata hdd that isn't detected in the bios. when i use a linux livecd i can see it listed with fdisk -l .. any ideas what could be wrong?
[05:43] <scunizi> Guest18772: that's better asked in #ubuntu-offtopic or the numerous posts out on the web.. this channel is for support
[05:43] <Guest18772> :)
[05:43] <tck9> since it doesn't show up in the bios, i can't select it as a boot device.
[05:43] <Shakti418> does anyone here have experience with the beta of Koala on fakeraid, I'm having troubles with the grub2 part of the install, it's failing
[05:43] <dsnyders> Guest18772, There are too many to mention.  The biggest though, is that linux is open source.
[05:43] <Kajros> linux is open source
[05:44] <Guest18772> yeah thats cool
[05:44] <vox> crazybyyou: this is ubuntu support, not a "hacker" channel.
[05:44] <Guest18772> well thx alot for ur help guys
[05:44] <cedriczg_> Help1, I lost my connection
[05:44] <dsnyders> Guest18772, That means that you can poke around and look at the code of programs you like.
[05:44] <cedriczg_> Help1, any news?
[05:44] <Guest18772> i guess i m going to sleep now i spent last 10 hours try to figuer out linux system lol
[05:44] <coyo> nvm, guise, i got my graphics adapter to work
[05:44] <Guest18772> :)
[05:44] <NewbieLInux101> lol
[05:45] <NewbieLInux101> that's linux
[05:45] <dsnyders> Guest18772, Welcome to linux.
[05:45] <vox> tck9: older bios's wont detect harddisks over certain sizes, however linux is able to use them once the system is booting. what you have is a limitation brought-on by the motherboard you're using.
[05:45] <NewbieLInux101> but stable :P
[05:45] <Guest18772> thx alot dsnyders
[05:45] <tck9> it's a 250gb hdd.. another server which has the exact same mobo/bios detects it fine
[05:45] <NewbieLInux101> i have one more questions
[05:45] <dsnyders> Guest18772, Don't get discouraged if it doesn't come easily, though.  It can be daunting.
[05:46] <NewbieLInux101> i want help to set up webcam server too
[05:46] <vox> tck9: dont have an answer then, but it's definately hardware related.
[05:46] <cedriczg_> NewbieLInux101, You can install cheese
[05:46] <Help1> ok found the menu.lst
[05:46] <NewbieLInux101> then after cheese what should i do
[05:46] <cedriczg_> NewbieLInux101, That program will let you use your webcam
[05:46] <NewbieLInux101> i did already
[05:46] <Help1> what now
[05:46] <vox> tck9: tried the latest bios image for that motherboard?
[05:47] <Shakti418> tck9: check the bios versions on each and download any firmware updates
[05:47] <cedriczg_> Help1, I was asking in which folder do you have the disk mounted now.
[05:47] <Help1> in examples
[05:48] <cedriczg_> Help1, Can't be... Your hard disk should have been mounted under sth like /media/disk1
[05:48] <Help1> do i need to create a dir first
[05:48] <NewbieLInux101> i install wine but my yahoo is not working on ubuntu how come
[05:49] <Help1> brb
[05:49] <riyonuk> Hiya, just installed Ubuntu, and it is so awesome! I love this! <3
[05:49] <riyonuk> One question, Id like to give KDE a try, how would I do that? ^___^
[05:49] <speedxxxcore> what is the ubuntu global userbase estimate?
[05:50] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, ask for a Kubuntu live CD?...
[05:50] <vox> cedriczg_: no
[05:50] <scunizi> riyonuk: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop .. when done logout and at the password screen you can "change sessions" to kde and .. away you go!
[05:50] <riyonuk> okay :p
[05:50] <vox> cedriczg_: what scunizi said.
[05:50] <Shakti418> riyonuk: resist the temptation to tinker too much before you're familiar with how things work ;)
[05:50] <cedriczg_> vox, sorry?
[05:51] <Shakti418> does anyone here have experience with the beta of Koala on fakeraid, I'm having troubles with the grub2 part of the install, it's failing
[05:51] <vox> cedriczg_: you can just apt-get kde and install it
[05:51] <cedriczg_> vox, It depends if he wants to try it or install
[05:51] <scunizi> Shakti418: until it's officially released ask in #ubuntu+1
[05:51] <vox> Shakti418: join #ubuntu+1 for 9.10 support
[05:51] <cedriczg_> vox, Yes that's true as well
[05:51] <Shakti418> vox & scunizi: thanks
[05:52] <riyonuk> I don't understand the point of Compiz's "Window Preview", sure I can see the windows, but I can't really make out what they are
[05:52] <dsnyders> HI all! Anybody know anything about chipcardd4?
[05:52] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, You can also do sudo "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" as scunizi said
[05:52] <vox> riyonuk: you can alter the preview sizes
[05:52] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, correction "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[05:52] <Wicked> !webcam
[05:53] <riyonuk> I like the size, just not the "quality", if that makes sense?
[05:53] <riyonuk> I'm installing kubuntu-desktop at the moment, going to be awhile, huge download
[05:53] <vox> riyonuk: you can alter that aswell i think
[05:53] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, Yes, that's why using a live CD may be useful as well. Maybe some friend may have it
[05:53] <vox> riyonuk: it's been a while since i played with compiz
[05:56] <mai_18> hmmmmmm
[05:56] <brandon_> Anyone good with VBox?
[05:56] <CopyWriter> i second your hmmmmmm(m)
[05:56] <scunizi> brandon_: what's up?
[05:56] <mai_18> hhhhhhhh
[05:57] <evilaim> Anyone installed windows 7 as a secondary?
[05:57] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, I like very much on compiz the "Scale" effect and set up with the "bottom right" as binding
[05:57] <cedriczg_> riyonuk, Like on Macs
[05:58] <qkbeyond> :)

[06:09] <_ged> hi guys
[06:10] <_ged> how can i prevent the running of an application twice?
[06:10] <Kajros> Wow...kinda got quiet
[06:10] <chromic> _ged: what particular app are you talking about?
[06:10] <Kajros> _ged:  Don't keep clicking on it?
[06:11] <riyonuk> I just got a random popup, wanting me to pick my default display manager, to I make it gdm or kdm? wtf?
[06:12] <_ged> Kajros: ahm, its hard to do that, i mean, i think it can be a workaround, but that PC is a bit slow, so sometimes i assume that i havent opened it and so i will open it again...
[06:12] <Kajros> riyonuk:  GDM is gnome and kdm is KDE so preference.  I'm a gnome fan others like KDE
[06:12] <riyonuk> Gotcha, thought I had some virus already XD
[06:13] <_ged> chromic: openbravoPOS application...its a java based application
[06:13] <safe> I'm having some trouble mounting my PSP. It says I don't have privilieges, though I'm positive I do. Is there some way to edit fstab?
[06:13] <Kajros> _ged:  After using Windows started using Ubuntu and noticed no more double clicking yay
[06:13] <chromic> _ged: usually, the app itself checks if its running already and will reuse an existing instance
[06:14] <chromic> _ged: firefox does this, for eg
[06:14] <koshari> Kajros: thats a kde trait, gnome still likes double clicking
[06:14] <Kajros> Well running UNR so different for me lol
[06:14] <chromic> _ged: if the app doesn't, then you could write a wrapper script that checks if its already running and avoid launching a second process
[06:15] <_ged> thanks
[06:15] <riyonuk> Off to try KDE, brb ^_^
[06:15] <safe> Alternatively, is there some way to be sure what device the PSP will be detected as?
[06:16] <distrohopper> http://www.shutupwomangetonmyhorse.com/
[06:16] <ae86-drifter> chown the psp
[06:16] <ae86-drifter> type chown --help
[06:16] <safe> Do I have to do it everytime I plug it in?
[06:17] <ae86-drifter> not sure, i havent tried it
[06:17] <ae86-drifter> but you should
[06:18] <safe> Would've been more efficient if I could just plug/play without hassling.
[06:18] <elops>  hello, i have a little problem with assigning mixer tracks to multimedia tracks. I know help.ubuntu has a mini FAQ about it, and i have read it but i cannot understand wich mixer track i should pick.
[06:19] <ae86-drifter> it would be more efficient if you set it up correctly, make a script to change the permission if u have to
[06:19] <ae86-drifter> then would run when its connected
[06:19] <safe> ae86-drifter: That's done via fstab, correct?

[06:26] <rublind> I need a little assistance, I'm trying to install ubuntu server and I keep running into problems, initially it was because I was using a flash drive, but now I'm using the CD and I'm getting the message to insert the CD labeled blah... during the "Installing Base system" and I can't get around it, this has happened twice
[06:27] <dsnyders> Help1, Odd.  It seems you have no hard drives on your machine.
[06:27] <Help1> no i have 1 hard drive
[06:27] <ZykoticK9> Help1, try "ls /dev/hd*"
[06:27]  * altf2o has never seen Ubuntu ask for another disk on /any/ version desktop or server. I run 9.04 Server and it went in just fine...
[06:27] <dm__> Anyone here have a hp dv1000 with linux installed on it? I have a question for you, and a favor to ask
[06:28] <rublind> altf2o, I have no effing clue what's going on and this is driving me nuts. I just want it installed. I ran into other errors when trying to install a flash drive.
[06:29] <dajhorn> rublind: You can get that glitch with a bad burn.  Did you alter the ISO or installer to wedge it on the flash drive?  Did you use the Ubuntu flash drive creator utility?
[06:29] <Help1> ok dev/sda2 = 195gig  and /dev/sda5=102gig
[06:29] <altf2o> is it the 32bit version? What type of box are you installing it to? My guess is what dajhorn said.
[06:30] <rublind> dajhorn: no modification and no tool to create, made by hand following instructions online
[06:30] <rublind> altf2o: 32 bit, and it's a custom built box
[06:30] <spasticteapot> My M-Audio Audiophile USB soundcard recently stopped working - under LSUSB, it shows up as "texas instruments". Before this, it started producing garbled output sometimes when I ran java applets in Firefox, but a restart would fix this. Any tips?

[06:35] <SeaPhor> dm__, look in F10 on boot in the bios and tell me the model name ,,, then tell me what Fn+F7/8 are supposed to do, i'll look it up for you-- tomorrow, and if i can get a scan-code for you
[06:36] <v3trae> greetings fellas. Is editing xorg.conf still the best way to add extra mouse button support? Hoping to put compiz(scale) to thumb button.
[06:36] <ZykoticK9> Help1, did you use Wubi (install Ubuntu inside of Windows)?
[06:36] <Help1> think so
[06:36] <rublind> dajhorn, altf2o: any idaes?
[06:37] <dajhorn> rublind: Reburn the ISO on the slowest burn speed.
[06:37] <dm__> seaphor well the model name is HP PAvilion dv1000 Fn + f7/f8 are supposed to dim and brighten the backlight of the lcd
[06:37] <rublind> dajhorn: I'd rather try doing it with usb again. :p
[06:37] <SeaPhor> dm__, what OS?
[06:37] <bostongeek24> is there a way to install kde on netbook remix?
[06:37] <dajhorn> rublind: Then use the flash drive creator utility that is bundled with Ubuntu.
[06:37] <bostongeek24> or do i need to install kubuntu
[06:38] <dm__> seaphor ubuntu 9.04
[06:38] <rublind> dajhorn: that's for windows, right? I'm on a mac...
[06:38] <progesterone> question: Although I've installed Window fonts with "sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts", Verdana (maybe more) is still missing. How can I find out what else is missing?
[06:38] <dajhorn> rublind: Manually creating a bootable flash drive on Mac OS X for Linux is difficult.
[06:39] <bostongeek24> hello?
[06:39] <ZykoticK9> bostongeek24, i don't know how/if you can install kde on UNR, what I do know is that if you install Ubuntu/Kubuntu you can add the NBR interface.  Best of luck.
[06:39] <ZachK_> hey team
[06:39] <SeaPhor> dm__, the HP did not come with that, what OS (you said Linux) did it come with?
[06:39] <rublind> dajhorn: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html
[06:39] <bostongeek24> @zykotick9 i see thanks
[06:39] <maco> SeaPhor: hp minis come with jaunty, i thought...
[06:39] <dsnyders> Help1, Wubi requres that you boot into windows, then launch ubuntu.
[06:40] <dajhorn> rublind: That doesn't apply to Mac OS X.  The device names are different, and getting the device offsets right is an exercise in masochism.
[06:40] <dm__> Seaphor it "came" with windows
[06:40] <rublind> dajhorn: I can boot into the installer
[06:40] <dajhorn> rublind: If you're on Mac OS X, just burn the ISO.
[06:41] <rublind> dajhorn: it's in the installer that I run into problems, and that's just because it's from an iso instead of a cd
[06:41] <dm__> seaphor xp home
[06:41] <dajhorn> rublind: Your kung-fu is weak.  Burn the ISO.
[06:41] <DaZ> dsnyders: bs
[06:41] <SeaPhor> dm__, ahh ok, i thought you said it came with linux,,,
[06:42] <dajhorn> rublind: Do it again to isolate for bad CD-R media, or a bad drive.
[06:42] <dm__> Seaphor Why would it coming with windows matter? I am not having a Windows problem.
[06:42] <spasticteapot> My M-Audio Audiophile USB soundcard recently stopped working - under LSUSB, it shows up as "texas instruments". Before this, it started producing garbled output sometimes when I ran java applets in Firefox, but a restart would fix this. Any tips?

[06:48] <cham_eleon> I've a problem I had some month ago that solved "itselfs" after a while... I logged in and an error with "gnome-power-manager" was displayed and after that all gconf settings are gone, I tried another user with "clean" home-Folder, w/o success. For example: All apps>general>metacity "keys" have a "<no value>" but why? Settings I make under gnome like switching desktop image isn't working, it only changes the background color.
[06:49] <cham_eleon> I found a blog post from someone with the same problem, his solution was to switch to KDE.. oO that can't be true!
[06:49] <evilaim> Doesn't sound right
[06:50] <evilaim> Tjat
[06:50] <evilaim> that's like saysing "My sound doesn't work in Ubuntu"... "Oh, well then use Windows"
[06:50] <evilaim> haha
[06:50] <cham_eleon> Yea sure, thats no option for me
[06:50] <cham_eleon> But for me theres no way to fix it
[06:50] <napster> Ghose..?
[06:50] <evilaim> But I don't know myself
[06:50] <SeaPhor> dm__, i cant find here, if you cant get the answer here then /join my channel tomorrow while i'm at work and i'll try to find what you need
[06:51] <cham_eleon> I tried to rebuild my complete home from a backup some days ago where EVERYTHING worked fine, it does not work
[06:51] <cham_eleon> There must be an error somewhere else :(
[06:51] <dm__> seaphor k, i did find a package named showkey
[06:51] <dm__> not showkeys
[06:51] <evilaim> look in your /var/log
[06:51] <evilaim> bunch of log files in there
[06:52] <widodo> hii
[06:52] <cham_eleon> Now I'm using xfce4 temporary :-)
[06:52] <cham_eleon> Hope that everything will be better in 9.10 :D

[06:54] <user_> !usb
[06:54] <m0RrE> cham_eleon: you could try to remove the gnome config files in ~/
[06:54] <m0RrE> they will be generated again when you log in
[06:54] <user_> slow usb transfer speeds
[06:55] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, i already did that, i created a new user, there the problem is the same, i also tried it with "my" home folder ;-(
[06:55] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, i removed the folders before i logged in over a tty
[06:55] <cham_eleon> gdm wasn't active then
[06:55] <m0RrE> remove gnome-power-manager
[06:56] <cham_eleon> I already did that too, I purged it and than installed it again - no success
[06:56] <m0RrE> and try again
[06:56] <m0RrE> hmm
[06:56] <cham_eleon> I tried everything in the last two days I guess ;-)
[06:56] <cham_eleon> I found a bug in the launchpad, too, no fix yet and no for me working solution
[06:56] <user_> why am i getting slow usb transfer speeds
[06:57] <m0RrE> do you have your /home on a different partiton than your root-filesystem?
[06:57] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, nope it's the same
[06:57] <m0RrE> well, that's too bad :P
[06:57] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, the only thing I can do is to make a complete rebuild of my hdd with backuppc :)
[06:57] <m0RrE> ..and reinstall.. and always have your /home on a different partition, just in case you have to reinstall
[06:58] <cham_eleon> but in my eyes this can't be the solution... as I said, this is the second time i have this error
[06:58] <progesterone> question: I installed Window fonts. Other browser can see those but Firefox can't. How can I do that?
[06:58] <m0RrE> progesterone: did you install the msttcorefonts package?
[06:58] <progesterone> m0RrE of course. Opera browser can see those. But Firefox can't.
[06:58] <cham_eleon> Eclipse isn't loving me today, too :) gnome and eclipse are hating me!!! ;-)
[06:59] <cham_eleon> m0RrE, the crazy thing about that is, i accepted that some settings aren't working and worked with the borked gnome... after some weeks everything was back again! that was so weird! ;)
[07:00] <m0RrE> if you are ok with "betas" install 9.10 :P
[07:00] <cham_eleon> ;)
[07:00] <picochu> guys is it worth getting a job as a zLinux admin?
[07:00] <m0RrE> it will be released next week anyways
[07:00] <cham_eleon> I will use xfce4 in meanwhile and installing new with 9.10 :)
[07:00] <cham_eleon> yes sure
[07:00] <cham_eleon> I'm waiting for it :)
[07:00] <lgears> i rc scheduled to be released today?
[07:01] <m0RrE> i've been using it for about 2weeks now and it's working great
[07:02] <Boonleng> asdadasd

[07:03] <tomvolek_> Hi All,  I have a 160G dual boot(ubuntu, vista ) trying to move it to a 500G drive with (ubuntu, vista, OS x ) .  What is the best way to just copy same partitiosn to the new disk ?
[07:03] <CWinLx> when I adduser, can I specify the location of its new homedir?
[07:03] <picochu> CWinLx:  check the parameters for useradd
[07:04] <CWinLx> if I didn't do that I wouldn't be here
[07:04] <CWinLx> maybe I'm blind I don't know
[07:04] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, "adduser --home DIR"
[07:04] <CWinLx> aye, thanks!
[07:04] <progesterone> question: How can I configure Ubuntu Firefox to see installed Microsoft fonts? Other browsers can see those already.
[07:05] <user_> ZykoticK9, can you help me boost my usb transfer speed from 3/mbs
[07:06] <Deihmos> i tried installing ubuntu on a nvidiai raid config and it just didn't wprk
[07:06] <Deihmos> another think i realize about ubuntu is that the fonts look really ugly compared to windows
[07:07] <wanghu741122> :)
[07:10] <mneptok> progesterone: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:10] <mneptok> progesterone: that will get you the MS web fonts in Ubuntu
[07:11] <Deihmos> ijust found that and installed the ms fonts
[07:12] <Deihmos> now i have no idea what font microsoft uses
[07:12] <napster> hello
[07:14] <ZykoticK9> progesterone, you using firefox 3.0.14?  i certainly have MS fonts in that version of FF.  actually they are in 3.5.3 too.  did you restart firefox after installing the fonts?
[07:16] <ZykoticK9> progesterone, FYI i must have gotten them from ubuntu-restricted-extras as i didn't install msttcorefonts separately
[07:19] <edgy> Hi, I tried Ctrl+\ for a job and it said "Quit (core dumped)" where is this dump stored?
[07:20] <progesterone> mneptok ZykoticK9 I got it now. Thanks
[07:20] <iranactivist> anyone know when the RC is out? later today?
[07:20] <ZykoticK9> edgy, check your home folder for a file called core
[07:21] <edgy> ZykoticK9: I checked that already and nothing there
[07:21] <ZykoticK9> edgy, sorry don't know then...
[07:22] <ZykoticK9> edgy, try /var/crash if you have it
[07:23] <farooq> #drupal
[07:23] <ZykoticK9> edgy, this might also be of interest to you, perhaps it's not currently installed? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport

[07:24] <Guest91491> hellp
[07:24] <Guest91491> hello
[07:25] <thahauss> Hi all, I have Jaunty installed with the default FTP client, is there a GUI for this or a better FTP client to use?
[07:26] <ZykoticK9> thahauss, personally i like gftp GUI support FTP and SSH/SFTP connections -- filezilla is also popular gui app for ftping.
[07:27] <thahauss> ZykoticK9, thanks for the response!  ill take your advice and check out GFTP GUI
[07:27] <bigfootbuilt> I think you can add an ftp client to Firefo as an add on
[07:27] <bigfootbuilt> firefox that is
[07:27] <MenZa> thahauss: nautilus (the default file browser) will do it. Try Places → Connect to Server - feature-wise, it doesn't boast much, but it's quite nifty just for simple operations.
[07:27] <velko_> thahauss, the file browser nautilus is ftp-client
[07:28] <edgy> ZykoticK9: apport is already installed but i want to crash an app myself
[07:28] <thahauss> ok all great, thank you very much I'll check out all of the options and see what works best for me, have a good night!
[07:28] <ZykoticK9> edgy, even if it is installed - is it enabled?  it's not be default i read.
[07:29] <bigfootbuilt> Has anyone used the default Telnet client that is installed with Ubuntu? I know it is installed, but I don't see it in th menus
[07:29] <MenZa> bigfootbuilt: You invoke it from a terminal :)
[07:29] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma decently in a headless jaunty? i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[07:29] <edgy> ZykoticK9: job control is a basic OS feature and has nothing to do with apport
[07:29] <bigfootbuilt> Thanks Menza...I'll have to figure out how to use it
[07:29] <corden> hello guys when this problem be solve
[07:29] <ZykoticK9> bigfootbuilt, default Telnet client is cli - so in a terminal type telnet
[07:30] <corden> about playing swf movie on firefox and play movie on ubuntu
[07:30] <bigfootbuilt> Thanks Zy
[07:30] <ZykoticK9> edgy, sorry man, i thought you where trying to get crash dumps...
[07:30] <corden> the movie on ubuntu in slow motion
[07:30] <MenZa> !media | corden
[07:30] <MenZa> ._.
[07:30] <MenZa> !codecs | corden
[07:30] <edgy> ZykoticK9: no. I want to get core dump using a kill command
[07:31] <Jaraxle> hi, does anyone know where icons are located in Jaunty?
[07:31] <ZykoticK9> edgy, using "kill" will not give crash dumps - as kill requests programs to stop (unless you use the -9 signal), still different from a "crash" i'd think...
[07:32] <ZykoticK9> Jaraxle, check /usr/share/icons & /usr/share/pixmaps
[07:33] <edgy> ZykoticK9: check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGQUIT
[07:33] <ZykoticK9> edgy, best of luck man - it's certainly beyond me
[07:33] <poi77> Hi! I am running Ubuntu w/ sw raid. I run mdadm to check status. At the end of output there is    " Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State" and then my RAID devices. What does this data mean?
[07:34] <Jaraxle> thanks, found them in pixmaps
[07:34] <Jaraxle> also, does ubuntu ever use .ico format?
[07:35] <ZykoticK9> Jaraxle, there are ways of converting .ico to .png/.x?? files -- gimp can do it i'm pretty sure
[07:35] <velko_> edgy, ZykoticK9, http://linux.die.net/man/5/core
[07:36] <Jaraxle> ok, i was just curious...i have it available as .png or .ico
[07:36] <Jaraxle> getting the quake icon ; )
[07:36] <ZykoticK9> Jaraxle, .png is MUCH more common on Linux -- i got some killer quake icons :)
[07:37] <nic1> i need to install skype on my machine. i am getting the error "/usr/bin/skype.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv"
[07:37] <nic1> does anyone have any idea about this error?
[07:37] <Jaraxle> cool Zykotick, i mainly just want quake 1 and one for enemy territory
[07:37] <Boohbah> nic1: you need a different version of qt-dbus
[07:37] <codeFiend> hey all
[07:38] <Boohbah> nic1: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[07:38] <CaptainMorgan> so I got nvidia GTX 275 and I'm a fairly new nvidia user after almost a decade of being solely an ATI user... I've had my card working with 2.6.24-24 for about week since I initially installing this system.  Today, 2.6.24-25 came out I think, and I went to upgrade and correct me if I'm wrong but the latest nvidia driver for 64 bit is not compatible with this kernel update, or vice versa... I reverted back to 2.6.24-24 and it
[07:38] <CaptainMorgan> took a bit of work but I got finally working back to normal... is this typical? should I be more confident when 2.6.24-26 comes out instead ?
[07:38] <ZykoticK9> Jaraxle, sorry I only have Quake II-III-IV & ETWQ icons :(  Good luck man.
[07:39] <CaptainMorgan> 8.04 btw
[07:40] <Jaraxle> cool, thank u
[07:40] <CaptainMorgan> simply put, I was trying to achieve what I have now with ...24-24: 1920x1200 or larger, and with ..24-25 I could only get 1600x1050
[07:40] <ZykoticK9> CaptainMorgan, 8.04 ahhhh -- as Nvidia is working fine on my 64bit 9.04 with 2.6.28
[07:40] <codeFiend> so I'm still struggling with network problems. here's the symptoms: dhcp seems to works, default gateway route is set, I can do dns lookups on hosts, but I can't ping or connect to anything outside the local network, and traceroute shows the connection dying on the third hop out. The weird thing is that plugging a mac into the same network gets me a network connection that is just fine, so it must be a config issue of some sort.
[07:40] <edgy> velko_: how can I tell where is the core path? cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
[07:40] <edgy> |/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c
[07:40] <Jester86> hello gentlemen and lady
[07:40] <codeFiend> (third hop out - past the gateway)
[07:41] <CaptainMorgan> ZykoticK9, do you think that explains it? I'm not comfortable with the non-LTS versions... so maybe I should just wait for 10.04 ?
[07:41] <Jester86> have any of you any experience with streaming 1080p movies across a gig-network?
[07:41] <codeFiend> I can't believe that the traffic is being blocked because of the os, but I can't think of anything else that I can test or check on this machine
[07:41] <Jester86> see the problem is I'm running mythtv and i want to run it to a machine in my living room.
[07:42] <Jester86> i was wondering if any of you think i would experience any problems w/ bandwidth running a 75' cat6 cable.. I kind of doubt it but that is getting semi-lengthy
[07:42] <ZykoticK9> CaptainMorgan, I dunno my ex-gf is still on 8.04 and very happy with it, we where just discussing if she would upgrade to 9.10 or wait until 10.04.  It's really up to you, personally I find 8.04 kinda dated now.  Best of luck to you.
[07:42] <fcuk112_> Jester86: if you have a ps3 you can use ps3mediaserver.
[07:43] <Jester86> no, I'm running pure mythbuntu pcs
[07:43] <chibihogoshino> whats the karmic channel
[07:43] <fcuk112_> !karmic | chibihogoshino
[07:43] <chibihogoshino> thank you
[07:43] <Jester86> fcuk112_, I have a bunch of old boxes I'm in the process of turning into my myth media center
[07:44] <fcuk112_> Jester86: unfortunately i have no xp with myth.
[07:44] <Jester86> i was just wonder whether or not i would see any signal decay w/ a 75' cat6
[07:44] <Jester86> well its more of just an over all data/network question
[07:44] <CaptainMorgan> ZykoticK9, 10.04 is less than six months away... but I suppose I was trying to get at whether 8.04 and the new kernel combined might be the issue for nvidia... and that 10.04 with an updated kernel would make more sense...
[07:44] <Jester86> not necessarily fit for this channel but this is the only really active place to ask
[07:44] <CaptainMorgan> the kernel module compiling phase for nvidia might've bombed at some point with 2.6.24-25
[07:45] <Boohbah> Jester86: http://www.homenethelp.com/web/explain/maximum-cable-length.asp
[07:45] <ZykoticK9> CaptainMorgan, i really don't know - obviously no personal experience with the issue i'm affraid...
[07:45] <Jester86> thank you Boohbah
[07:45] <rublind> woot. eff cd's! usb install worked... finally.
[07:46] <Boohbah> rublind: i had trouble with usb images too. good job!
[07:46] <codeFiend> argh. I don't understand routing problems.
[07:46] <rublind> Boohbah: not recognizing cd's was a pain >.< I was making symlinks everywhere so it would detect the iso. =p
[07:46] <Jester86> so i guess the real question is.. do i want to get a 75' or a 100' lol
[07:48] <rublind> in the desktop version of ubuntu, you can use the "repositories" menu item from the package manager to pick the fastest mirror, is there an equivalent on the server version?
[07:48] <Boohbah> codeFiend: what kind of routing problems are you having?
[07:48] <rublind> [i.e. command line :x]
[07:48] <codeFiend> Boohbah: I'm not sure. I can't get to outside world from the ubuntu machine
[07:48] <Boohbah> codeFiend: is your network interface up? can you ping your gateway IP?
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> rublind: i didnt think it hose the fastest mirror ever, just the one with the latest version
[07:49] <ziroday> rublind: apt-spy
[07:49] <codeFiend> Boohbah: yes and yes
[07:49] <rublind> ActionParsnip: it was running ping tests on each one, I'd assume it's fastest mirror...
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> rublind: surely offering inexperienced users this will take time that could be used downloading
[07:49] <rublind> ziroday: thank you! :D
[07:49] <codeFiend> Boohbah: and I can do dns lookups on outside world
[07:49] <Boohbah> codeFiend: where is your DNS resolver located?
[07:49] <ziroday> rublind: :)
[07:49] <codeFiend> Boohbah: traceroute shows the connection timing out after the fourth hop (two hops pas the gateway)
[07:50] <codeFiend> Boohbah: traceroute from the mac plugged into the same network, however, gets all the way to the end with no problem at all
[07:50] <rublind> ziroday: I can't apt-get that, can I? apt-cache shows me nothing
[07:50] <CWinLx> i try running a script and i get, "mkdir: cannot create directory `/somepath/': Permission denied"
[07:50] <CWinLx> how do I run this script as root?
[07:50] <Boohbah> codeFiend: interesting.
[07:50] <b166er> anyone else having trouble getting ubuntuone to connect?
[07:50] <codeFiend> Boohbah: dhcp sets the dns hosts to be in local subnet, ip's starting with 10.
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: do the package managers do this speed testing ?
[07:50] <rublind> codeFiend: going on a limp here, have you tried doing ifup eth0?
[07:50] <rublind> limb* xD
[07:51] <ziroday> rublind: hmm one sec
[07:51] <CWinLx> anyone?
[07:51] <codeFiend> rublind: no, but I did /etc/init.d/networking restart - is that similar?
[07:51] <JoshuaL> CWinLx, sudo scriptname
[07:51] <huwenfeng> ﻿ i got 9.04 live CD iso file on my disk! can i use the already installed GRUB 0.97 to boot from that ISO file???? any clues or urls??
[07:51] <Boohbah> codeFiend: and the mac has an identical network setup?
[07:51] <rublind> codeFiend:  do ifconfig eth0 (or whatever your using)
[07:51] <Boohbah> codeFiend: ifconfig on the mac also...
[07:51] <codeFiend> Boohbah: yeah, just dhcp.
[07:51] <rublind> codeFiend: make sure you have a valid ip address
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> rublind: afaik, the apps simply scan all available repos then pull down the latest version from whichever has the later version number
[07:52] <Boohbah> rublind: i think codeFiend is smarter than that :)
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: sudo <script>
[07:52] <codeFiend> rublind: ip address looked ok.
[07:52] <rublind> ActionParsnip: I'm basing this on my experience with gentoo, there was a similar thing on there, can't hurt to ask
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> !sudo | CWinLx
[07:52] <rublind> Boohbah: hey, never eliminate the obvious! the simple things are the hard ones to catch
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> rublind: definately :)
[07:52] <ziroday> rublind: oops looks like apt-spy doesn't work on ubuntu. Lemme see what else I can find
[07:52] <Boohbah> rublind: true
[07:52] <codeFiend> rublind: anyway when I did /etc/init.d/networking restart, it showed it talking to dhcp server and getting the ip address, i'd figure it would show the error there if it was not getting the ip address
[07:53] <rublind> ziroday: thank you
[07:53] <rublind> codeFiend: can you ping your router?
[07:53] <CWinLx> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m11f4d675
[07:53] <CWinLx> apparently it can't find the file
[07:53] <codeFiend> rublind: I can ping the gateway, yup. and even the first ip past it (that traceroute shows). but pinging the second one times out, same as traceroute.
[07:53] <Boohbah> codeFiend: do you mind pasting the traceroute that dies on the 4th hop?
[07:53] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, try "sudo sh createUsers.sh"
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: your syntax is wrong
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: sudo ./createUsers.sh
[07:54] <super-biver> i
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: th ./ tells the interpretter to use the command from pwd
[07:54] <CWinLx> none of that works
[07:54] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, assumes that it's set executable
[07:54] <CWinLx> really strange..........
[07:54] <codeFiend> Boohbah: unfortunately don't have it here, already left office, and irc was blocked on that network so couldn't get on to ask my stupid questions then, heh
[07:55] <codeFiend> Boohbah: right now I'm just trying to get an idea of what else I could possibly look at next time I go there
[07:55] <codeFiend> because I'm, frankly, stumped
[07:55] <CWinLx> if i do the "sudo su ./script" I get, "unknown id: createUsers.sh"
[07:55] <Boohbah> codeFiend: ahhh, this was an office network... can you contact the network admin?
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: also make sure you run: chod +x ./createUsers.sh   to mark it executable
[07:55] <rublind> codeFiend: you can try some telnet stuff to, to see what responses if any, you're getting
[07:55] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, "sudo SH script"
[07:55] <CWinLx> 0 -rwxr-x--- 1 theuser theuser  117 2009-10-22 02:45 createUsers.sh
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: sudo su ./script    makes no sense
[07:55] <CWinLx> that should be right?
[07:56] <codeFiend> rublind: yeah tried telnetting and ssh'ing to both those ip's, neither gave me any response, don't think they have those ports open
[07:56] <CWinLx> okay so how do I run the script as root then ROFL if sudo doesn't work and su doesn't
[07:56] <CWinLx> and both of them together don't work either
[07:56] <ziroday> rublind: apologies, it appears something like that doesn't exist. I recommend you just use <two letter country code>.archive.ubuntu.com if you're not sure. Or ask your loco
[07:56] <rublind> codeFiend: is this box hard wired? you mentioned you had a mac, is that also hard wired?
[07:56] <CWinLx> i did an 'ls' the file is there
[07:56] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, it's "sudo sh script"
[07:57] <rublind> ziroday: yeah, I'm using us.archive but it's sooo slow for me
[07:57] <codeFiend> rublind: yup, both were hardwired
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: you may need to chown it as you are running as "myname" and not "theuser"
[07:57] <ziroday> rublind: mmm, the us archive mirror can get overloaded easily. What state are you in?
[07:57] <rublind> codeFiend: have you tried swapping ethernets? to see if the mac has any issues with that line?
[07:57] <rublind> ziroday: california
[07:57] <codeFiend> Boohbah: yeah, I'll try to get some contact info, but there's no sysadmin on site there, they let a lot of people go recently apparently. was hoping to solve it myself.
[07:57] <codeFiend> rublind: yeah, I tried plugging both machines into the same wall jack, same result
[07:58] <ziroday> rublind: I'd ask in #ubuntu-us-ca what they'd recommend. I'm sure they'll know some better mirrors
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: you have marked it executale though which is good
[07:58] <codeFiend> CWinLx: is the first line of your script something like #!/bin/bash
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: you can simply run: sudo ./createUsers.sh    from that same pwd
[07:58] <CWinLx> yes! it is
[07:59] <snow_ru> how to know which version of C I'm using on Ubuntu ?
[07:59] <codeFiend> CWinLx: hm. your error looks more like a bug in the script itself then
[07:59] <CWinLx> no... because I can run the script as non-root
[07:59] <CWinLx> with just './createUsers.sh'
[08:00] <rublind> codeFiend: last question, because I'm stumped otherwise, have you made sure that there are no special rules on the router blocking traffic? I know some routers do that, esp. for companies...
[08:00] <mb_again_> show_ru : gcc -v
[08:00] <CWinLx> problem is that I don't have root access so the script isn't working :(
[08:00] <ZykoticK9> CWinLx, then use "sudo ./createUsers.sh"
[08:00] <CWinLx> ahh, that is know working!
[08:00] <CWinLx> after like 100 different tries
[08:00] <CWinLx> thanks you
[08:00] <CWinLx> I was going to give up
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: i told you sudo like 3 times, and even gave the factoid explaining it
[08:01]  * ActionParsnip facepalms
[08:01] <codeFiend> rublind: don't really have access to the router directly. do you think it's possible to have a rule that blocks all traffic that's originating from non-windows/mac machines? I guess that would explain it, but I thought traffic blocking would be more protocol-level, not originating-machine-os level filtering
[08:01] <CWinLx> ActionParnsip, it wasn't working before
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: maybe your text is better than mine
[08:01] <CWinLx> I even copied in pastebin
[08:01] <rublind> codeFiend: not to that extent, but for machines they don't recognize maybe
[08:02] <rublind> codeFiend: mac address filtering or something, maybe
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: scroll up and read, you'll laugh
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> CWinLx: but you got the gold, thats what matters :D
[08:03] <codeFiend> rublind: true, but still I don't understand why my mac would work then... its mac address is not known on that network either
[08:03] <CWinLx> lol okay
[08:03] <rublind> codeFiend: if it's an office computer, it would have to be, but I'm not saying that's the exact issue, but it could be something related...
[08:04] <codeFiend> rublind: no, both machines are mine... that's why it's driving me nuts
[08:04] <codeFiend> I'd understand if both failed, or both worked... but argh, one works and one not
[08:04] <rublind> codeFiend: oh, then find your network admin and punch him in the face until it works. :p
[08:04] <codeFiend> rublind: I'm down with that plan :)
[08:05] <codeFiend> arrrrgh.
[08:05] <codeFiend> ok I give up
[08:05] <codeFiend> I'll move that code up to a server and make them download the end results from their own damn machines.
[08:05] <codeFiend> this is insanity.
[08:06] <codeFiend> thanks for your advice, rublind, Boohbah
[08:06] <rublind> codeFiend: no worries, sorry for not having a solution, but good luck! :)
[08:06] <codeFiend> at least I know I'm not missing something blindingly obvious
[08:12] <nic1> Boohbah, i have ubunut9.04, different version of qbus?
[08:13] <rublind> alright, I'm done for the evening, thanks for all the help gents, and good luck to everyone else!

[08:25] <Windcape> hi, trying to install kubuntu, but the installer can't seem to detect my SATA drive. BIOS and Windows detects it just fine, any ideas what to do here?
[08:25] <jussi01> Windcape: kubuntu question in #kubuntu please
[08:25] <purma> how do i return to normal user mode from "sudo -i" ?
[08:25] <COOLMAN> what this fucking Ubuntu?

[08:26] <Windcape> jussi01 they recommend asking here, in regards to expertise with installing on SATA drives.
[08:26] <purma> jussi01: was logout
[08:26] <ct529> jussi01: I do not think it is a problem with wine , it is classified silver on the db .... I think it is a problem with Ubuntu default installation
[08:26] <pronoy> !info gtk_
[08:27] <pronoy> what is the package name for gtk+2.0 development library ?
[08:27] <jussi01> ct529: are you sure the version in ubuntu is the same version tested on the db?
[08:27] <lstarnes> pronoy: libgtk2.0-dev ?
[08:27] <pronoy> lstarnes why doesn't it show in apt-cache search ?
[08:28] <mnemonic> hi
[08:28] <lstarnes> pronoy: what full command are you using?
[08:28] <pronoy> lstarnes sudo apt-cache search gtk2.0
[08:28] <ct529> jussi01: I am indeed sure it is not
[08:29] <lstarnes> pronoy: it should have shown
[08:29] <pronoy> lstarnes sorry i was entering gtk+2.0
[08:29] <pronoy> lstarnes its ok now
[08:29] <ZykoticK9> pronoy, sudo isn't required for apt-cache BTW
[08:29] <amirman> can anyone tell me an application to use to find the x y position of my cursor on the screen?
[08:29] <pronoy> ZykoticK9 it isn't...? man i've been using this forever
[08:30] <ct529> jussi01: that I believe may be one of the problems .... so it needs a specific configuration just for Ubuntu
[08:31] <nic1> what is a dsc file?
[08:31] <cybersplice> nic1: from a camera? they're meta data files used by some cameras
[08:31] <lstarnes> nic1: where did you get the file?
[08:32] <nic1> i wanted to install the latest qr4-dbus on my ubuntu9.04, in the downloads i saw that file
[08:32] <lstarnes> nic1: it might be a debian package description file
[08:33] <nic1> is that a package to install? how can i untar and install that?
[08:33] <lstarnes> nic1: no
[08:33] <nic1> ok..description file..
[08:33] <lstarnes> nic1: only .deb is a package in ubuntu
[08:34] <lstarnes> nic1: it's used for building a package from source code
[08:34] <pronoy> nic1 rest are tarballs
[08:34] <nic1> hey i downloaded a .tar.gz file, and tried tar xzvf to untar i get an error..

[08:37] <nic1> does anyone know about this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/298876/
[08:37] <ZykoticK9> secret901, beats me - but that is a question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:38] <MenZa> ZykoticK9, secret901: More a question for #ubuntu-motu :)
[08:38] <foureight84_home> is there any tweaks for empathy im to close chat window by hitting esc?
[08:38] <MenZa> !songbird > secret901 (Have a look at this)
[08:38] <ZykoticK9> nic1, corrupt download/file
[08:38] <foureight84_home> are there*
[08:38] <Irreducibilis> Could someone explain this naming process for ubuntu?
[08:39] <bjorge> Irreducibilis: 9.10 means 2009 october (release year+month number)
[08:39] <secret901> MenZa: that still doesn't tell me why Songbird is not installable via Synaptic
[08:39] <ZykoticK9> MenZa, what does the motu stand for?  it's not really explained in their channel subject -- seems like a developer channel???
[08:39] <Irreducibilis> Oh ...
[08:39] <Irreducibilis> Well what about stuff like "Hardy Heron"
[08:40] <MenZa> ZykoticK9: Masters of the Universe. They're the Ubuntu packaging team.
[08:40] <iceroot> Irreducibilis: hardy = 8.04
[08:40] <ZykoticK9> MenZa, thanks
[08:40] <iceroot> Irreducibilis: every release got a name and a version
[08:40] <Irreducibilis> I see o_o
[08:40] <sweRascal> 2~2~/set tjeme xchat2
[08:40] <Irreducibilis> Well, thanks.
[08:40] <sweRascal> 2~2~/set theme xchat2
[08:40] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i just downloaded the file from ubuntu site
[08:40] <snow_ru> how to know about the information of I/O bus in ubutun ?
[08:40] <MenZa> secret901: I suggest you search Launchpad.net for packaging requests for Songbird, and if none are found, you can always just ask for them to package it.
[08:41] <ZykoticK9> nic1, i'd recommend you try d/l it again
[08:41] <secret901> MenZa: I think there was a reason that it wasn't included, but it escaped me at the moment.
[08:41] <MenZa> secret901: Well, have a look at Launchpad, it should say so ;)
[08:41] <MrSchmo> what is the command for updating your menu.lst to the lastest kernel? sudo update-grub....?
[08:42] <nic1> ZykoticK9, d/I ?? what is that??
[08:42] <ZykoticK9> nic1, sorry download -- try downloading it again
[08:43] <purma> if i happen to download some package and save it to /var/cache/apt/archives/ can i then install it using apt-get install and afterwards if i want to remove it can i use apt-get --purge?
[08:43] <ZykoticK9> purma, no - use dpkg to install stuff you download
[08:43] <secret901> MenZa: not much info at https://launchpad.net/songbird
[08:43] <wWales> you know that autocompletebox that drops down from say the search window in firefox, what kind of object does the os regard this object to be as far as OS colors go? is there a unified standard between applications for this object? i like to customize my colors and ive found that in color setups with light text this text gets lost in the seemingly always white appearance of these dropdown boxes.
[08:44] <purma> ZykoticK9: how do i remove the packages i've installed with dpkg?
[08:44] <ZykoticK9> secret901, songbird is available on getdeb.net
[08:44] <purma> ZykoticK9: can i use apt-get --purge ?
[08:44] <ZykoticK9> purma, yes - once it's install
[08:44] <lstarnes> purma: sudo aptitude purge packagename
[08:44] <secret901> ZykoticK9: my question is why is it not installable on Ubuntu via Synaptic.
[08:44] <purma> ok thanks
[08:44] <lstarnes> secret901: ubuntu's mozilla team might not have ported it
[08:44] <houn> hello
[08:45] <ZykoticK9> secret901, i said "beats me" it comes default on OpenSolaris if you can believe that
[08:45] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i tried downloading and untaring again, same error message
[08:45] <houn> secret901; is it possible to add getdeb.net on your sources list
[08:45] <MenZa> secret901: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/94494
[08:45] <ZykoticK9> nic1, can you give the link?
[08:46] <MenZa> secret901: I just read that through.
[08:47] <nic1> ZykoticK9, http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libqt4-dbus
[08:48] <ksaok> so, any one try to install ubuntu arm on pda?
[08:48] <ZykoticK9> nic1, amd64 or i386?
[08:48] <secret901> MenZa: thanks, I guess it's a licensing issue
[08:49] <ZykoticK9> nic1, those appear to be DEB files not tar.gz?
[08:50] <ZykoticK9> nic1, try using "dpkg -i FILENAME.DEB" and see if it installs
[08:51] <ZykoticK9> nic1, sorry "sudo dpkg -i FILENAME.DEB"
[08:53] <nic1> i386
[08:53] <SmokeyD1> hey people. In ubuntu, whenever I try to open a file from any application, the application hangs for like 15 secs before it shows the file dialog. It doesn't matter which application I use. Nautilus opens instantly though. Browsing through my files with it is as fast as normal. Just opening files from another application is a problem
[08:53] <SmokeyD1> I am using ubuntu 9.04 with gnome desktop on amd64
[08:53] <MenZa> secret901: seems like it, yeah.
[08:54] <nic1> how can i run this command? sudo dpkg -i qt4-x11_4.5.0.orig.tar.gz, i downloaded this tar file for me..
[08:55] <amirman> got my conky set up
[08:55] <SmokeyD1> nic1: go to applications->accessories->terminal
[08:55] <SmokeyD1> this opens up a terminal where you can run commands
[08:55] <ZykoticK9> nic1, go back to that page/link you gave me and under the heading "Download libqt4-dbus" there is an "amd64" and "i386" links - use those instead!
[08:56] <ZykoticK9> nic1, you downloaded the source code, which typically will NOT be needed in Ubuntu - Ubuntu/Debian use DEB files to install things usually.
[08:57] <bonnie> looking for djones
[08:57] <houn> how ko i install other programs from openoffice like Diag
[08:58] <secret901> I installed Songbird via getdeb.  How do I uninstall it?
[08:58] <ZykoticK9> secret901, "sudo dpkg -i SONGBIRD.DEB" or whatever the DEB is called
[08:58] <houn> how do i get the Diag program of openoffice
[08:59] <ZykoticK9> secret901, sorry uninstall "sudo apt-get remove SONGBIRD" or whatever songbird is called
[08:59] <lstarnes> secret901: sudo aptitude remove songbird
[08:59] <Flannel> secret901: You can uninstall it via synaptic, or whatever your favorite package manager is.
[08:59] <secret901> Flannel: can't find it in synaptic
[08:59] <saleem> how to inslall fire fox 3.5.3 last version
[08:59] <secret901> ZykoticK9: sudo apt-get remove seems to work
[08:59] <iceroot> saleem: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[09:00] <ibou> hi
[09:00] <ibou> i use kmplayer... how to read dvds ?
[09:00] <secret901> ZykoticK9: if only that'd work for Google Earth
[09:00] <MrSchmo> how do you update your 'menu.lst'?
[09:00] <Flannel> secret901: If you view by category, it'll be under "Local or Obsolete", that might be the easiest way
[09:00] <Flannel> secret901: er, I guess that's by status, not category
[09:00] <nalcomis> All, I am experiencing a strange problem where Ubuntu won't let me change the permissions on a folder.  I am shown as the owner with RWX, but cannot grant the same to the "others" group.  When I change the permissions in the GUI, it automatically sets it back to none.  From a command prompt, no change, but no error
[09:00] <ZykoticK9> secret901, "sudo apt-get remove googleearth" maybe?
[09:01] <secret901> ZykoticK9: that doesn't work.  Google Earth was installed by running an executable from Google
[09:02] <ZykoticK9> secret901, ahhh - sorry I used Medibuntu perhaps
[09:02] <ne0futur> ibou: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[09:02] <FND> during a system upgrade, I accidentally confirmed some dialog (was typing when the prompt got focus) - I can only assume it was about my grub menu.lst customizations
[09:03] <FND> any way I can get that dialog back?
[09:03] <ZykoticK9> secret901, yup "apt-cache policy googleearth" reports it's from Medibuntu all right.
[09:03] <syntaxman> nalcomis: hard to say.. make sure the fs in question isn't mounted ro.  Also, check permissions on the parent directory.
[09:03] <FND> apt log says "Setting up linux-headers-generic (2.6.28.16.21)"
[09:03] <FND> so that's probably what prompted it
[09:03] <syntaxman> nalcomis: failing other things, check the extended attributes using lsattr
[09:04] <digdeep> hi, could someone help me with this--> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1296090&highlight=firefox+chromium
[09:04] <alabd> Good day everyone , while opening firefox there is msg that let us to resotre pages ,after choosing new page , is there anyway to restore that pages now ?
[09:04] <syntaxman> nalcomis: if you've played with ACLs, that might be something else to look into.
[09:05] <secret901> ZykoticK9: do you know which directory it's installed to?
[09:05] <meanieface> alabd: maybe go to your history?
[09:05] <ZykoticK9> secret901, GoogleEarth? from the google executable - i think it's in your home dir.
[09:06] <nalcomis> syntaxman:  Yeah...it is a NTFS drive...I think that is the problem.  It is being automatically mounted by Linux and I don't think has the correct attributes associated with it.  I can't get FSTAB to mount the drive...it is really weird.  When I try to mount it in the disk utility, it recognizes the path I specified in FSTAB, but tells me that only root can mount
[09:06] <ZykoticK9> nalcomis, you can't apply Unix permission on an NTFS drive!
[09:06] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I mean your medibuntu installation
[09:06] <alabd> meanieface: yes thanks
[09:06] <DukeDrake2> hi
[09:06] <yogg> hi
[09:06] <yogg> I get a black screen if i try to get a tty (1-6) on Ubuntu 9.04 x64 with newest nvidia drivers (180)
[09:06] <meanieface> alabd: your welcome
[09:06] <syntaxman> nalcomis: I think there are a couple of ntfs drivers.  The one that is stable couldn't write, only read.
[09:07] <selfmotivated1> hi guys
[09:07] <saleem> i should remove fir fox 3.0.8 and after that install fire fox 3.5 and how in termiel
[09:07] <ZykoticK9> secret901, "whereis googleearth" show /usr/local/bin/googleearth
[09:07] <DukeDrake2> I'm using ubuntu for the first time, but got some exp in debian
[09:07] <syntaxman> nalcomis: been a few years ago since I touched ntfs, though.
[09:07] <lstarnes> !ff35 | saleem
[09:07] <DukeDrake2> where would I find the default mailprogram
[09:07] <meanieface> saleem: type in firefox-3.5
[09:07] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I was told there's an uninstaller in the Google Earth directory, but couldn't figure out where it is.
[09:07] <lstarnes> saleem: note that you should keep firefox 3.0 if you intend to upgrade to karmic. 3.0 and 3.5 can be installed at the same time
[09:08] <DukeDrake2> there is no /usr/sbin/sendmail ... ??
[09:08] <nalcomis> sytaxman: basically this is the scoop...I moved a USB drive from my windows box (with all of my movies) to my linux box and want to share it out for my media center to pull from.  Unfortunately, it is not allowing anonymous access to the drive...

[09:08] <ZykoticK9> secret901, is Googleearth in your home dir right now?  you could probably just delete the folder?  i don't think it installs anything system wide.
[09:08] <syntaxman> nalcomis: mounting filesystems is, and usually should be, something only root should be able to do...
[09:09] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I don't know where it is.  There is a .google directory in my home directory but it doesn't have Google Earth
[09:09] <nalcomis> syntaxman: I wonder why the fstab entry isn't mounting the drive
[09:09] <xukun> I have a usb headset plantronics which ubuntu detects just fijn but I can't seem to get sound from it. Any help would greatly be appreciated
[09:09] <syntaxman> nalcomis: if you want that to be different, add "user" or "users" to the mount options.  That won't change the ro issues, though.
[09:09] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I think it does install it system-wide.  I just need to figure out where.
[09:09] <ZykoticK9> secret901, try "whereis googleearth"
[09:09] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i can only see the list of files in i386
[09:10] <secret901> ZykoticK9: it's in /usr/local/bin/googleearth, which isn't much help
[09:10] <ZykoticK9> nic1 can you send the link again (save me from scrolling)
[09:10] <nalcomis> syntaxman:  I can write to the drive as my username....I just can't give "others" access at all...not even read
[09:10] <ZykoticK9> secret901, that means it's system wide - don't know how to go about uninstalling that!?!?
[09:10] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I just need to find its directory and run the uninstaller there
[09:11] <ubuntu> Hello
[09:11] <ubuntu> I'm stuck at Ubuntu installing
[09:11] <ZykoticK9> secret901, try in /usr/local/bin and see if anything looks right
[09:11] <ubuntu> I'm using Ubuntu through the live CD atm and trying to install ubuntu from it
[09:11] <syntaxman> nalcomis: does the uid of your linux user match the uid of the file owner? (the names may match but the numbers might not)
[09:11] <ubuntu> I'm stuck at the partition manager
[09:12] <secret901> ZykoticK9: there's also a googleearth there
[09:12] <secret901> ZykoticK9: when you open a deb file, it usually tells you where it installs to, right?
[09:12] <ZykoticK9> secret901, but not a googleearth-remover or something?
[09:12] <ibou> ne0futur: i juste tryed a sudo ./install-css.sh in the directory you show me but im still unable to read my dvd
[09:12] <Rafay> Please help?
[09:13] <secret901> ZykoticK9: nope
[09:13] <nalcomis> syntaxman:  hrmmm....not sure (not sure how to check that either).  My user has RW access though
[09:13] <ZykoticK9> secret901, yes that info is there, but if you installed from DEB are you sure you can't "sudo apt-get remove googleearth"?
[09:13] <nic1> ZykoticK9, this is the link: "http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/dpkg"
[09:13] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I didn't install it from deb, that's why I can't remove it.
[09:13] <Rafay> guys?
[09:13] <psinetic> hey guys, I am trying to get eve online to work on my computer. AT first, wine has this "emulate driver" button i can select. but when i run the following commands and reboot my computer, the option is gone...uh....do i need that?
[09:13] <psinetic> wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[09:13] <psinetic> sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[09:13] <psinetic> sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install wine
[09:13] <secret901> ZykoticK9: I installed it from the BIN file directly from Google
[09:13] <FloodBot3> psinetic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:14] <Rafay> Help me with ubuntu installation!
[09:14] <ZykoticK9> nic1, try http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.14.24ubuntu1_i386.deb
[09:15] <ZykoticK9> secret901, sorry man - can't help you with the bin installer - i only use the medibuntu version???
[09:15] <Rafay> omg... no one?
[09:15] <psinetic> rafay, what's the problem?
[09:15] <Rafay> thanks god
[09:15] <vox> psinetic: wont work
[09:15] <Rafay> I'm stuck at installation
[09:15] <Rafay> at the partition manager
[09:15] <secret901> ZykoticK9: do you know where the medibuntu version install it to?
[09:15] <psinetic> rafay, which part?
[09:15] <psinetic> vox, what do you mean it won't work?
[09:15] <ZykoticK9> secret901, same place by the looks of things /usr/local/bin
[09:15] <Rafay> Where do you want to put Ubuntu 9.04?
[09:15] <vox> psinetic: running eve in wine
[09:15] <syntaxman> nalcomis: To find your UID (among other things) use the "id" command.  To find the numeric IDs associated with a file, use the "ls -n" command
[09:16] <Rafay> I don't want to isntall on entire disk
[09:16] <psinetic> it does work
[09:16] <secret901> ZykoticK9: it only places the binary there
[09:16] <vox> psinetic: it /used/ to work.
[09:16] <secret901> ZykoticK9: the application data is placed in its own dir
[09:16] <psinetic> rafay, then don't install it on the whole disk :P
[09:16] <psinetic> vox, it works: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1007680
[09:16] <Rafay> but
[09:16] <saleem> when i write in terminal command not found--- the reply is command not found
[09:16] <Rafay> I don't understand the advanced thingy
[09:17] <psinetic> rafay, so you want to install ubuntu on a partition? do you have something else you want to install on another partition?
[09:17] <Rafay> I want to use an entire partition for ubuntu installation, possible?
[09:17] <secret901> ZykoticK9: found it, it's in /opt/
[09:18] <psinetic> hmmm..lol, i wish i had that screen in front of me
[09:18] <saleem> sorry when i write in terminal sudo ap-get install firefox-3.5  the reply is command not found
[09:18] <vox> psinetic: i call fibs. i know guys who spent months trying to get it to work under wine. and these are the sorts of guys who simply write their own libs if they cant find one that does exactly what they want.
[09:18] <meanieface> saleem: are you typing apt-get or ap-get
[09:18] <ZykoticK9> vox, see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2249
[09:18] <psinetic> vox, i dont' call fibs because i got it working before i had to reinstall the OS on my computer (for other reasons), you don't know what your'e talking about.
[09:19] <Rafay> http://i.imagehost.org/0635/Screenshot.png
[09:19] <saleem> ap-get
[09:19] <meanieface> saleem: its gotta be apt-get
[09:19] <secret901> ZykoticK9: finally removed it. Thanks for your attempts at helping :-)
[09:19] <saleem> ok
[09:20] <ZykoticK9> secret901, glad you got it!
[09:20] <vox> psinetic: uh-huh.
[09:21] <Rafay> so, nobody wants to help?
[09:21] <psinetic> vox, respectfully and kindly, stfu. do a google search and you'll see this works no problem. my question wasn't even if it worked or not, because i KNOW it works. my question was does it matter if "emulate drivers" worked or not
[09:21] <psinetic> rafay, i'm looking now
[09:22] <psinetic> rafay, give me a screeny of the next page you have
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> Rafay: sup?
[09:22] <vox> psinetic: *shrug* i spent the better part of 3 months trying to get it to work correctly, and it wouldnt. and i certainly wasnt the only one. if it works for you, a+.
[09:22] <Guest31522> anyone knows a tool or something that send via mail an existing vulnerabilities from ubuntu?
[09:22] <Guest41704> hi]
[09:23] <Rafay> http://i.imagehost.org/0988/Screenshot-1.png
[09:23] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, he's trying to install ubuntu via live cd and is having trouble selecting a specific partition to install it on
[09:23] <Guest41704> anyone here know how to install and manage ftp server in ubuntu 9.04?
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: thanks
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: install proftpd  and you are away :)
[09:23] <iceroot> Guest41704: sudo apt-get install proftpd
[09:24] <psinetic> vox, just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean all the sudden it doesn't work for anyone. if you google you'll see a lot of people where it DID work
[09:24] <psinetic> rafay, which partition do you want to install it on?
[09:24] <psinetic> or do you want to make a NEW partition?
[09:24] <Rafay> is it possible to install it on a separate partition? WIndows XP will be on a different partition
[09:24] <Rafay> still dual boot
[09:24] <Guest41704> does proftpd is secure?
[09:25] <psinetic> ok, then you'll click the button that says "new partition table"
[09:25] <ZykoticK9> Guest41704, you also might like gadmin-proftpd GUI admin.  NO FTP IS SECURE - it's all sent in clear text!
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Rafay: use custom partitioning, part of the partitioning is to choose the mount point for the partition, as long as you have at least / and / swp you are fine
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: ftp is pretty poor for file sharing choices
[09:25] <psinetic> what that does is creates another partition (holy crap you have alot)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: a better choice would be to install openssh-server
[09:26] <Rafay> I think I've a partition already
[09:26] <Rafay> the sda5
[09:26] <Guest41704> here: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/#docs
[09:26] <psinetic> oh hey, since u guys are talking about hacking-like-stuff, how do i get the backtrack 4 software on ubuntu in one-shot?
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: you can then use winscp / scp to transfer files, ad even mount
[09:26] <Rafay> could you guys wait for sometime?
[09:26] <Rafay> I'll be back in 10 minutes
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: its not supported here
[09:27] <psinetic> rafay, if you want to install it on sda5, it'll wipe it entirely
[09:27] <Guest41704> does proftpd suffers security hole?
[09:27] <psinetic> anything on it will be erased
[09:27] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, ok, thanks :)
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: sure, just like all softwares, firefox has more security holes
[09:27] <Rafay> yeah, then?
[09:27] <ibou> how comes that i can't read dvds with kmplayer although i Read them with dragon player ?
[09:27] <Rafay> I want entire partition for ubuntu
[09:27] <psinetic> rafay, once it erases it it'll continue with the instillation.
[09:28] <psinetic> there is a check box that says "format"
[09:28] <psinetic> select that box for the partition you want to install ubuntu on
[09:28] <Yblih> Does anybody here know something about pulse audio and an ALC662 3 jack sound and convert into surround sound?
[09:28] <Silver_Swords> is there anything without security holes?  =)
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: with ftp the transfers are not encrypted, vsftpd encrypts them so is a better choice in that sense but ftp still sucks
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Silver_Swords: doubtful
[09:28] <psinetic> Silver_Swords, lol, everything has holes, and EVERYTHING is vulnerable. it's about finding those vulnerabilities and exploiting them
[09:28] <Rafay> I'll answer you in about 10 minutes psinetic
[09:28] <psinetic> that's where viruses come from
[09:29] <psinetic> rafay, ok, np
[09:29] <meanieface> i think he was making a joke
[09:29] <psinetic> meanieface, i think so too :P
[09:30] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, sorry for going off on you last night. i was really frustrated and pissed off. :)
[09:31] <secret901> Guest41704: use ssh if you want more security
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: what about? ive slept and watched a PPV since then
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: can't of been anything of world shattering importance so don't sweat it man
[09:32] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, i was getting pissed because i was asking the same question over and over and over again and it was just such a simple questoin that i couldn't find the answer to and everyone ignored me. and when i used caps and cussed everyone suddenly noticed it. you told me not to use caps, and i came back at u
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: oh yeah, dont sweat it man
[09:32] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, it was still wrong and whether it's important or not it deserved apologizing for :P
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: its human to get frustrated too
[09:33] <Rafay> psinetic, back
[09:33] <Rafay> so yeah, I can't tick the format box next to sda5
[09:33] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, haha, yeah, i was really frustrated. it gets pretty frustrating when i ask a question and no one answers it, even when it's so simple, like installing ubuntu
[09:33] <psinetic> rafay, hmmm....
[09:33] <psinetic> did you unmount it?
[09:33] <Rafay> how? :s
[09:33] <psinetic> um....hang on
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: tis pretty simple :). Try a gentoo install for the first time. Takes a while
[09:35] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, lol, i can install it just fine, i was refering to rafay here asking the question 1,000 times before i was like, "wtf? why isn't anyone helping this guy" and started helping myself
[09:35] <psinetic> unfortunately i'm no expert at it
[09:35] <Rafay> D:
[09:35] <psinetic> rafay, right click on that box, does it bring up a menu?
[09:36] <saleem> ok i download fire fox 3.5 by terminal  but old version runing
[09:36] <Rafay> yes, Edit partition.....
[09:36] <meanieface> saleem: you have to type firefox-3.5 in the console
[09:36] <psinetic> hang on a sec, i got partition editor open, let me see if i can figure it out
[09:37] <iceroot> what was >> and 2>> together? so that i put stdout und stderr in one log
[09:37] <pfzurita> j
[09:37] <pfzurita> ghj
[09:37] <Pero> hello
[09:37] <Pero> anybody here?
[09:38] <psinetic> rafay, i think it should show you a menu that has "Unmount" as an option when you right click on the partition (not the colors, the writing)
[09:38] <abdel_> el
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> saleem: 3.0 and 3.5 are seperate apps, 3.5 is NOT an upgrade of 3.0
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> saleem: so you now must tell your apps to use the newer version
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> saleem: you can also uninstall 3.0 if you wish
[09:39] <psinetic> rafay, any luck?
[09:40] <Rafay> nop
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> saleem: you can also install 3.7 and have 3 versions installed all at the same time
[09:40] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i dont need to install ubuntu, i need to install only qt-dbus
[09:40] <psinetic> hmmmm....i dunno rafay, i edited my partitions once ubuntu was already installed.
[09:40] <psinetic> it's an entirely differnt partition manager
[09:41] <Rafay> any expert here?
[09:41] <Rafay> D:
[09:41] <psinetic> lol
[09:41] <ibou> how comes that i can't read dvds with kmplayer although i Read them with dragon player ?
[09:41] <psinetic> ibou, you probably don't have codecs for that software installed
[09:41] <meanieface> Rafay: not to be rude, but that comment was kind of uncalled for
[09:41] <Rafay> rude?
[09:41] <meanieface> Rafay: yes, rude
[09:41] <psinetic> meanieface, not really. i said before that i really don't know much about it
[09:42] <Rafay> I didn't said like "you don't know anything"
[09:42] <ZykoticK9> nic1, ask the channel your problem again
[09:42] <meanieface> psinetic: im just sayin i think he's kind of a pushy person
[09:42] <Rafay> I just asked for another because he already said
[09:42] <psinetic> meh, w/e
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: they use the same codec
[09:42] <ibou> psinetic: i have ldvdcss2, libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 and w32codecs...
[09:42] <psinetic> does anyone here know much about installing ubuntu via live cd?
[09:43] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, ibou, sry :P lol. hmmmm....i dunno then
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> ibou: weird, usuallyy there is a large pool of codecs that all players use
[09:43] <Guest41704> i installed proftpd does anyone here how to start?
[09:43] <saleem> some web site can not open by fire fox like chat sound and cam site
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> ibou: you may want to check the codec folders the players use, see if one is missing
[09:43] <abdel> hi
[09:43] <abdel> wad up guys
[09:43] <abdel> how come i configured my evolution
[09:43] <abdel> but each time i close
[09:44] <abdel> it and opens
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> Guest41704: its ready to go, you can ftp with your own user name and password that you are logged in with
[09:44] <abdel> its starts with configuration again
[09:44] <abdel> why is it so
[09:44] <psinetic> anyone, rafay needs help installing ubuntu via live cd onto a specific partition. i really don't know much about installing from live cd so....anyone help the guy?
[09:44] <ZykoticK9> !enter | abdel
[09:44] <ibou> ActionParsnip: where to check that ?
[09:44] <Rafay> thanks ;/
[09:44] <nic1> i need to install skype on my machine. i am getting the error "/usr/bin/skype.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv"
[09:45] <ndy40_> hello as anyone here tried out opensolaris ? how does it compare to ubuntu linux. i knu its unix .am refering to the user experience.
[09:45] <kripz_> is udf 2.5 supported in kernel 2.6.26?
[09:45] <secret901> nic1: are you running the Linux installer from Skype?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> ibou: will depend on the player, flick around the menus, see what you can find
[09:45] <nic1> i ran apt-get install skype
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> nic1: does that file exist?
[09:45] <nic1> yes
[09:45] <ZykoticK9> ndy40_, not that channel for that question -- OS is very polished, but doesn't have nearly the package library required for an average "desktop" experience.
[09:46] <nic1> e
[09:46] <fcuk112> nic1: try to download the .deb from skype.com
[09:46] <psinetic> rafay, looks like you're going to have to ask your question several times to get an answer. eventually the right person will come into the room and see the question and answer it :P
[09:46] <Rafay> true
[09:46] <saleem>  ibou: you may want to check the codec folders the players use, see if one is missing-----where i can find that
[09:46] <nic1> what is mediubunu? the file i downloaded is for mediubuntu and i work on jaunty ubuntu..is that  the reason?
[09:47] <ZykoticK9> nic1, did you add the mediubuntu repository or just download the deb file?
[09:47] <StaRetji> Hi there! What is default service for USB automount. I have hal and dbus running, but my usb drives wont automount. I worked before, but it stopped for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thx!
[09:47] <psinetic> so....i did this: hit alt-f2 and type gedit ~/.wine/user.reg         and it opens an empty document...what's that mean?
[09:48] <cortsp88> hello!i'm italian.can you tell me the ubuntu chat room's address?
[09:48] <nic1> ZykoticK9, i just downloaded the tar file

[09:48] <Rafay> I really wanna install Ubuntu
[09:48] <ZykoticK9> nic1, add the repository - instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu then just "sudo apt-get install skype" and you should be done :)
[09:48] <ibou> saleem: you have the same problem ?
[09:48] <cortsp88> thank you psinetic
[09:49] <ibou> saleem: i can't find them
[09:49] <psinetic> so....i did this: hit alt-f2 and type gedit ~/.wine/user.reg         and it opens an empty document...what's that mean?
[09:49] <ZykoticK9> nic1, and try to avoid downloading tar source code files -- DEB are much easier!

[09:52] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, don't you mean http://www.bing.com/ ;)
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> abdel: run: ls -ls ~/       and put the output in the pastebin
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> psinetic: true but to ONLY use it is like researching in only one library
[09:53] <StaRetji> What is default service for USB automount. I have hal and dbus running, but my usb drives wont automount. It worked before, but it stopped for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

[09:54] <Cyr4x> hi, i've got a problem
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> nic1: there seems to be a lot of stuff about it online
[09:54] <psinetic> hit alt-f2 and type gedit ~/.wine/user.reg........this brings up an empty document. what am i doing wrong?

[09:55] <psinetic> hit alt-f2 and type gedit ~/.wine/user.reg........this brings up an empty document. what am i doing wrong
[09:55] <prince_jammys> psinetic: does ''cat ~/.wine/user.reg''  give output?
[09:56] <meanieface> psinetic: alt-f2 ?
[09:56] <psinetic> meanieface, alt-f2 opens the run option
[09:56] <lukasz> Hi ;]
[09:57] <prince_jammys> psinetic: from a terminal, not from alt+f2
[09:57] <psinetic> prince_jammys, yeah, it has an outcome, but it fills the page to the point that i can't see the beginning of it to paste it in pastebing
[09:57] <zhaozhou> psinetic: also, run winecfg, close it, then try to gedit/cat it again.
[09:57] <psinetic> pastebin**
[09:57] <prince_jammys> psinetic: does alt-f2 : gedit /the/path/without/tilde/user.reg  work? (no "~")
[09:57] <prince_jammys> perhaps gnome isn't expanding the ~
[09:57] <prince_jammys> (i don't have gnome to check it)
[09:57] <psinetic> prince_jammys, one sec
[09:57] <zhaozhou> prince_jammys: smart one.
[09:58] <nic1> i want to reinstall ia32libs, how can i do that?
[09:58] <lukasz> warka Polak :D?
[09:58] <zhaozhou> I don't use ubuntu, but there is an --reinstall option to "apt-get install", isn't it?
[09:58] <prince_jammys> yes
[09:59] <meanieface> yep
[09:59] <zhaozhou> nic1: well then, apt-get install --reinstalle ai32libs :)
[09:59] <zhaozhou> reinstall**
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> nic1: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ia32-libs
[09:59] <ZykoticK9> psinetic, if you use alt+f2 and "gedit .wine/user.reg" it will work - with the ~ it doesn't???
[09:59] <psinetic> prince_jammys, yep, that worked....hmmm....it worked when i installed it the first time with ubuntu installed
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> zhaozhou: you are right
[10:00] <nic1> this does not give me any results. apt-cache search ai32-libs
[10:00] <nic1> ai32libs or ia32libs??
[10:00] <ZykoticK9> nic1, it's ia32libs
[10:01] <meanieface> nic1: i thnk you want to reinstall libasound2 and lib32asound2
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> !info ia32-libs
[10:01] <nic1> no results in search
[10:01] <prince_jammys> psinetic: perhaps before they passing the string to a shell, and now they're splitting it into words and executing it directly.
[10:01] <psinetic> ZykoticK9, yeah, that's what happened
[10:01] <psinetic> hmmmmmm
[10:01] <psinetic> insteresting
[10:01] <prince_jammys> psinetic: in which case the tilde would remain literal.
[10:01] <zhaozhou> !info ia31libs
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> !find ia32
[10:01] <prince_jammys> psinetic: but i'm guessing.
[10:01] <lukasz> my graphik is 800x600 i dont  instal nvidia  driver
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> lukasz: gksudo jockey-gtk
[10:02] <psinetic> meh, I only got one comment. Ubuntu's installer isn't stable. I've had to reinstall it five times in four weeks and each time it installs with different problems that didn't exist in the last install (fresh out of the box installs, meaning i haven't even updated it yet, first boot up)
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> nic1: if you are REinstalling it, you will already have it installed. You can therefore run: dpkg -l | grep ia32
[10:02] <lukasz> ActionParsnip i must download ?
[10:03] <shrini_> need help on choosing a FOSS forum
[10:03] <shrini_> any suggestions?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> lukasz: no its part of a standard install, run the command
[10:03] <nic1> apt-cache search lib32asound2, no results
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> !ot | shrini_
[10:03] <lukasz> ActionParsnip  oki thx
[10:03] <shrini_> what software powers ubuntuforums.org?
[10:04] <nic1> dpkg -l | grep ia32

[10:04] <fcuk112> shrini_: vbulletin.
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> nic1: dpkg -l | grep ia32   will show the already installed packae you will reinstall. If it doesnt come up then its not installed so you are not reinstalling it, but installing it
[10:04] <psinetic> shrini_, vbulletin
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> nic1: try: apt-cache search 32 | grep lib
[10:04] <lukasz> ActionParsnip  Error :/
[10:04] <redwyrm> When I run apt-get, it crashes halfway through the "Building dependency tree..." stage. How can I fix this?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> lukasz: well thats no use to me at all, can you give me details. I cannot see your screen
[10:04] <ZykoticK9> nic1, are you sure you're on a 64bit version?  what does "uname -m" say?
[10:05] <psinetic> shrini_, actually, so that you don't have to ask this question again. open the website in your browser, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, and it's listed there.
[10:05] <zhaozhou> redwyrm: ouch.
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: can you use a pastebin to provide the command you are running aswell as the full output
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> !paste | redwyrm
[10:05] <nic1> i am on 32 bit
[10:05] <nic1> uname -m says i686
[10:06] <zhaozhou> nic1: you should'nt need ia32 if your on 32bit... (?)
[10:06] <ZykoticK9> nic1, ia32-libs is only on 64bit versions, I'm worried about you not have /usr/local/var/dpkg/status!
[10:07] <nic1> yes no status file inside dpkg folder, what is that??
[10:08] <ZykoticK9> nic1, the list on installed applications
[10:08] <iceroot> how to use &> (stdout and stderr) to append to a logfile? &>> is not working, only &>

[10:09] <psinetic> hey, is Vox still here?
[10:09] <zhaozhou> redwyrm: apt-get segment faulting, that's just... bad.
[10:09] <psinetic> i got a screen shot for that guy >_>
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: thats pretty serious
[10:09] <Guest34988> I am trying to troubleshoot my ubuntu samba server. what does...... nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*' ...command do? and is the syntax correct?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: whats the output of: lsb_release -c
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: its a single line, you can paste direct
[10:09] <redwyrm> Codename:	intrepid
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: does: sudo apt-get -f install   fix it?
[10:10] <vox> psinetic: i dont need a screenshot. if you've been able to get it running, then thats great. i, like many others, have not been so fortunate.
[10:10] <redwyrm> no
[10:10] <redwyrm> same error
[10:11] <psinetic> vox, well, then let me help you
[10:11] <zhaozhou> Funny thing about lsb_release (ot!), a friend of mine got a Gentoo installation going, but halfway through he said "what? no lsb_release command in gentoo? Then why should i run Gentoo if i can't brag about it?!"
[10:11] <zhaozhou> He actually stopped the installation and went with Ubuntu.
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: try these commands in order: http://pastebin.com/mf814559
[10:12] <vox> psinetic: if you're going to be on for a while, sure. i re-installed about a month back, so i dont have _anything_ wine-related installed, so it'll take me a while to run through the steps
[10:12] <psinetic> vox, perhaps this will assist? it's where i asked my questions for getting help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270798
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> zhaozhou: why does one need to rag about an oS?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> brag*
[10:12] <nic1> what is the simplest way to make skype working?
[10:13] <psinetic> vox, the page that i went through goes from step 1 to the end
[10:13] <psinetic> it makes sure you have wine installed also
[10:13] <redwyrm> ActionParsnip, does /var/lib/dpkg/info contain vital stuff?
[10:13] <vox> psinetic: yeah, i've been reading it closely
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> nic1: have you tried installing the latest from skypes website?
[10:14] <zhaozhou> ActionParsnip: Now that is the right question. (yes, i have just seen 'I robot')
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: you can rename the folder if you want a less destructive method
[10:14] <psinetic> vox, i've had the oddest problems with ubuntu, just, things that don't happen, that should work but don't. and after a reinstall, the problem goes away just as it came. so i dunno man. lol
[10:14] <vox> psinetic: i apologise for my initial scepticism. as i said, i spent _months_ on it with no success
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> zhaozhou: never saw it, i dont get these linux braggers. makes me chuckle
[10:15] <psinetic> vox, i understand. and i apologize for being so rude about it. are you from australia?
[10:15] <redwyrm> ActionParsnip, too late, lol
[10:15] <vox> psinetic: i am
[10:15] <psinetic> vox, haha. the way you spelled apologize gave it away :P
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: theres a guy on launchpad whos an op there (I think who always recommends these commands when people's apt-get's get stucked
[10:16] <andersg> testing.
[10:17] <nic1> ActionParnship, yes i tried, it gives me some intrepid error
[10:17] <zhaozhou> andersg: test returned positive.
[10:17] <andersg> thank you:p
[10:17] <tred> jussi: i missed u in other room, i dont use the F2 term. i just leave the console open i close and it starts back up headless
[10:17] <andersg> i was just testing my timestamp though ;)
[10:18] <tred> oops, wrong post, lol
[10:18] <zhaozhou> andersg: oh right <:
[10:18] <tred> anyone know how to start plasma decently in a headless jaunty? i can leave a bash window open and start it from there after i log in on vnc, but it doesnt start quite normally
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> nic1: if you use tab to complete nicks it is faster and accurate
[10:18] <nic1> i dint get you
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> nic1: you typed ActionParnship which isnt my nic
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> nic1: and it probably took a while to type
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> nic1 if you type actio  then press tab, it will complete and be 100% accurate
[10:19] <nic1> ok..thank you..i need to make skype up now..
[10:19] <forceflow> If you hold a Linux shell against your ear, you can hear the C.
[10:19] <nic1> yes i check tab
[10:20] <vox> psinetic: yeah, phrasing/spelling tends to give the game away
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> nic1: the tab thing can also be used in terminal to complete commands and file names
[10:20] <zhaozhou> forceflow: xD!
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> nic1: makes life quicker

[10:25] <redwyrm> also, the install command worked! :D
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: not hugely
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: awesome
[10:25] <redwyrm> thanks a lot!
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> redwyrm: np man, sounds like the stuff you had in those folders was a bit corrupted so you just made a whole bunch of new files
[10:26] <psinetic> hmmmmmmmmm eve online isn't accepting my screen resolution and won't let me make it the size of the screen. odd....
[10:26] <redwyrm> ActionParsnip, maybe I should start backing up my files... I keep putting it off... if I had, I could have just restored that directory
[10:30] <Caesi> Hi everyone. I've just installed Windows 7 on my primary partition and thereby wiped out Grub (Ubuntu 9.04 is on the second partition) - could anyone give me a quick tut of the commands? I've got the gparted boot CD

[10:31] <badp> Hello, I would like to quickly set up remote desktop to help a friend out with Ubuntu. However, by default, that only works over the local network. Nevermind security; what's the simplest thing I can do to get this working?
[10:32] <Caesi> Thanks MenZa
[10:32] <vox> psinetic: well i'm up to installing the eve client, so i guess we'll know shortly
[10:33] <psinetic> vox, yep, hope it works out for ya. right now it's working fine, i just can't get it to accept my screen's resolution so i can use fullscreen

[10:37] <badp> oh well. Thanks anyway.
[10:37] <badp> Thanks for nothing :P
[10:37] <Avash> badp: ok are you free
[10:37] <NetDidi> whats up Avash
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | badp
[10:37] <Avash> NetDidi: yeah i am trying to get virtual box in my ubuntu
[10:37] <NetDidi> Avash, what is the problem?
[10:38] <Avash> i have a qemu in my ubuntu. so u kno w what qemu is
[10:38] <sweRascal> Is freenx faster? Is there a client for windows? I use vnc myself and its a bit of a drag when connecting over a slow line
[10:38] <badp> The page I didn't want has the answer I wanted: "At present, there is no easy, secure way of making your desktop available to others over the Internet."
[10:39] <badp> What if I gave up on security? It's a 5 mins job!
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> sweRascal: for some tasks a li interface is all thats needed
[10:39] <Avash> what is qemulator?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Avash: its aother virtualisation solution
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> !qemu
[10:39] <meanieface> badp: vnc is extremely easy to configure and set up
[10:40] <badp> I know, there's a goddamn gui for it, still by default it only works on the local network
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> badp: i'd run vnc over an ssh tunnel if you are helping your buddy over WAN
[10:40] <Avash> ! sugar
[10:40] <sweRascal> for some added security use ssh with chroot and connect via forwarding ports... its a bit more secure anyway
[10:40] <system404> hey guys need to convert avi to dvd vob files to burn to dvd any apps you can recommend
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> badp: over lan its not needed
[10:40] <Avash> ! virtual box
[10:41] <nic1> does skype work on ubuntu9.04?
[10:41] <badp> If it was a LAN I could just WALK to her computer ;)
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> system404: devede will make you a DVD ISO you can burn
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> badp: depends on the size of the LAN.
[10:41] <vox> badp: then you need to setup port-forwarding on her modem/router/whateveritisshesusing.
[10:41] <iceroot> nic1: yes
[10:41] <system404> ActionParsnip: will it convert the avi
[10:41] <sweRascal> nic1 yes, theres even an easy way to fix. Serach for the app "Ubuntu tweak"
[10:41] <nic1> iceroot, how can i make it work? tired of trying
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> system404: it will take any format you have codecs to play, its just a gui for ffmpeg / mencoder
[10:42] <iceroot> nic1: start it and use it
[10:42] <nic1> what is ubuntu tweak?
[10:42] <sweRascal> app for adding extra apps :) many third party apps there
[10:42] <system404> ActionParsnip: cool ill try that thanks
[10:42] <nic1> installation gives me error with skype-ubuntu-intrepid
[10:42] <badp> So forward her 53something port, set up Remote Desktop from settings and connect using Remote Desktop from Apps
[10:42] <sweRascal> like skype :)
[10:42] <badp> okey dokey
[10:42] <badp> thanks!
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> nic1: its an unofficial tool to addstuff and settings to an ubuntu system
[10:42] <iceroot> nic1: post the errors on pastebin

[10:44] <psinetic> vox, one good trick is, after you have eve setup (as i discussed in my last comment on that webpage) to go completely fullscreen, you can use compiz cube rotation to switch to other windows and even run more than one eve account at once.
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> nic1: make sure your pwd is where the file is
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> nic1: so if the deb is on the desktop (due to firefoxes stupid default) then you will need to first run: cd ~/Desktop

[10:46] <vox> psinetic: ah i've disabled compiz, but its something i'll investigate if i get this working :) waiting for the eve client to d/l.

[10:47] <dwarder> !compiz
[10:47] <Avash> ok how do i install sugar in my ubuntu?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> !info sugar
[10:47] <psinetic> vox, i noticed that when i tried to install eve with the regular installer it wouldn't download the files, so the file that they used in there and referred me to was a full package installer that doesn't require connecting to the internet
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> Avash: sudo apt-get install sugar
[10:48] <Avash> no
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> Avash: make sure you have universe repos enabled if it fails
[10:48] <Avash> ActionParsnip: no it is not working
[10:48] <vox> psinetic: yeah, i'm getting the full installer. unfortunately, even with 20mbit bandwidth, 2.1gb takes a while to get heh
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> Avash: its in the repos, do you have universe repos enabled?
[10:49] <Avash> ActionParsnip: i donk know
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Avash: dont you think thats why its not working...
[10:49] <psinetic> vox, haha, yeah i know what you mean. I live on a Navy base in Japan, bandwidth sucks here
[10:49] <sight> hi
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Avash: run synaptic, click sources and put ticks next to the universe repos
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Avash: then exit synaptic
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Avash: you can now run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sugar
[10:50] <Cyr4x> exit
[10:50] <Avash> the pdate is not running
[10:50] <Avash> ActionParsnip: the update is not running
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Avash: ubottu not only tells you if a package exists but also a description and most importantly, which repo it is on. if you dont have that repo enabled then you wont get it
[10:51] <sight> can anyone tell me how to make a usplash theme
[10:51] <Avash> ActionParsnip: and also i dont have universe repos in my synaptic.

[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Avash: you can always do it manually by editting /etc/apt/sources.list   but with your demonstrated skill level I wouldnt recommend it
[10:55] <sight> menza: then fusion will do it
[10:56] <karmic> thanx andersg
[10:56] <MenZa> sight: compiz fusion is in 8.10 iirc.
[10:56] <MenZa> sight: I highly suggest you upgrade to 9.04, though.
[10:56] <Avash> ActionParsnip: yeah i have already updated that source.list. and what do you mean by my skills?
[10:57] <sight> menza: tell me repo for compiz-fusion intrepid

[10:57] <MenZa> sight: there by default.

[10:59] <th3_b0b> Hi! How can I configure Jaunty Server to rotate more than 4 Days on syslog files? I tried changing the general rotation settings in /etc/logrotate.conf, but they don't have any effect on /var/log/syslog, since that seems to be rotated by syslog itself via /etc/cron.daily/syslogd. How can I configure the behaviour of that script without breaking it? Or how can I exclude /var/log/syslog from the files output by syslogd-listfiles?
[10:59] <psinetic> vox, aha! i figured out exactly how to get the screen resolution fixed as well as run two or more clients at the same time
[10:59] <Admin__> i just lost 250 GB of files and i must get them to get them back
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Admin__: restore from backup
[11:00] <psinetic> admin, how did you do that?

[11:00] <psinetic> ooooooooo that sucks

[11:00] <fuzzybunny> Hey everyone. My brother and I are both using Ubuntu linux and I am unable to connect to his computer until either he pings me or if I run arp -s to manually fill in his mac address. Everytime I restart we have to complete that procedure before we can communicate between our two machines. Does anyone know what would cause this? We are using a Thomson Gateway TG585v7. If anyone could help that would be great!
[11:00] <Admin__> it let me mount the drive last night
[11:01] <psinetic> ActionParsnip, no backup = person just didn't back their stuff up and may not have even know to :P

[11:05] <Darkwing> ltspadmin: It'll allow you to use your USB drive as a bootable disk, it will work the same way the live CD does. It can come in quite handy on a netbook.
[11:05] <ptl> any apt wizard can tell me if there is a way to filter a package by repository? I have a dozen different repositories configured on my sources.list and I'd just want to see a list of packages from one or another.

[11:23] <neohashi> erUSUL: well, it has acted strangely under both win and linux as in hardware dosen't work unless pluged in _after_ reboot.
[11:23] <erUSUL> neohashi: then it is ok to blame it i guess XD
[11:23] <Avash> nic1: install? you told you had a problem?
[11:23] <onats> !flash

[11:24] <Avash> nic1: ok1 the only solution i see is..............................................
[11:25] <Fertakao> hi
[11:26] <zvacet> !hi| Fertakao
[11:27] <zvacet> nic1:  from where you get skype package
[11:27] <nic1> apt-get install

[11:27] <Avash> !skype | nic1
[11:27] <Admin__> so does anyone know what i can do ?
[11:28] <Fertakao> i need some help here, im new to ubuntu so to test it i've instaled it in a hd with vista, i want to know if there is a way to acess my files in the vista using the ubuntu
[11:28] <zvacet> MenZa:  I asked nic1 because it look like he have problem with that package
[11:28] <nic1> zvacet: ?
[11:28] <Qtpaxa> where should I ask if I have a problem with compiz?
[11:28] <erUSUL> Fertakao: ubuntu can access ntfs paritions just fine
[11:28] <coz_> Qtpaxa,   in  #compiz
[11:29] <Fertakao> how can i do that?
[11:29] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  what's the issue?
[11:29] <zvacet> nic1:  did you install it from medibuntu
[11:29] <erUSUL> Fertakao: Places>Computer/System does not show the vista parition ?
[11:29] <Qtpaxa> coz_: http://pastebin.com/d461535bd
[11:29] <erUSUL> Qtpaxa: #compiz
[11:29] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  how are you starting compiz?
[11:30] <Qtpaxa> coz_: when I use compiz with 2 screens they turn black
[11:30] <coz_> Qtpaxa, mm  which video card?
[11:30] <Qtpaxa> coz_: compiz --replace
[11:30] <Qtpaxa> coz_: intel
[11:30] <Fertakao> hmm, i found it
[11:30] <Admin__> is there any other ubuntu support channels ?
[11:30] <dwarder> anyone uses realvnc with ubuntu
[11:30] <Fertakao> thanks guys
[11:30] <Qtpaxa> coz_: If i use only one screen I get no problems
[11:31] <dwarder> when i click on menu i see nothing changing in my realvnc window
[11:31] <erUSUL> Admin__: there are the localized (in each language) channels.
[11:31] <coz_> Qtpaxa,   in terminal    glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE
[11:31] <nic1> how to install medibuntu?
[11:31] <dwarder> but see this on my box's monitor
[11:31] <cybic> hey everybody... i'm still looking for a solution for changing the speed of my mousepointer (trackpoint) on my nc6400
[11:31] <Admin__> english is fine
[11:31] <iceroot> !medibuntu | nic1
[11:31] <Admin__> but i have a real huge prom. here
[11:31] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  just tell me ther resolution number in the readout
[11:32] <saulus> is there some combination for Gnome to see the desktop alone, everything is minimized? Like the windows-key + D on windows for "let me see the desktop, now"?
[11:32] <Admin__> i lost all my data
[11:32] <Qtpaxa> coz_: 2048
[11:32] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  ok and  how large are your monitors
[11:32] <Admin__> and others are asking bout little things
[11:32] <Admin__> my whole life is on this hard drive
[11:32] <Scutum> anyone from australia_
[11:32] <Scutum> ?
[11:33] <Qtpaxa> coz_: 1024x600 1024x768
[11:33] <erUSUL> Admin__: you said it is a truecrypt volume? if the data is encripted is even harder to recover it...
[11:33] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  ok that 2048  is a hardware limitation...it means that your desktop ...in any one direction..cannot exceed that resolution
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> Admin__: then yu have learned the hardest way possible why backup is important
[11:33] <iceroot> Admin__: backups!!!
[11:33] <iceroot> Admin__: without backups its your fault
[11:33] <cybic> anyone could configurate a trackpoint on his notebook?
[11:33] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  so  it is exceeding that  if you add  the 600+768
[11:33] <Admin__> yes its a truecrypt volume
[11:33] <Admin__> i encrypted the whole partition
[11:34] <Admin__> but does anyone know what the error is or means ?
[11:34] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  you would have to reduce the resolutions so that ...as I said  in any  one direction...does not exceed the 2048
[11:34] <erUSUL> Admin__: you did "dmesg | tail " to see the actual error ?
[11:34] <Admin__> yes
[11:34] <Admin__> i will paste
[11:34] <erUSUL> Admin__: paste ?
[11:34] <Admin__> one sec
[11:34] <Qtpaxa> coz_: but I have right now like 2048x768
[11:34] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  sorry added wrong
[11:35] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  ok the first thing I would try is reducing the resolution of the monitors to see if it works
[11:35] <Qtpaxa> okk
[11:35] <Qtpaxa> I'll try
[11:35] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  otherwise i would go to #compiz and talk with  adamk
[11:35] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  where you type here just type    /join #compiz
[11:35]  * cybic is thinking about this stupid problem... there are a touchpoint and a trackpad built into my nc6400... but i can configurate just the touchpad.... what's about the trackpoint... :(
[11:36] <Avash> ! touchpad
[11:36] <Scutum> Anyone can recommend a good school for Computer Science in Australia
[11:36] <Scutum> ?
[11:36] <erUSUL> !ot | Scutum
[11:36] <erUSUL> !au | Scutum
[11:36] <Admin__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/298955/
[11:37] <Fertakao> is there a way to make ubuntu use the programs i had installed in vista?
[11:37] <ageeb> isn't that what wine is for?
[11:37] <zvacet> !wine | Fertakao
[11:37] <erUSUL> ageeb: wine run programs installed inside wine not the ones from a windows install in another parition
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> Fertakao: you can if the app is extremely portable
[11:38] <Admin__> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/298955/
[11:38] <ageeb> ahh good to know, ty.
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> Fertakao: most arent now and will need files in the windows dir as well as registry keys
[11:38] <dwarder> !freenx
[11:38] <suppermann> Hi. I need some help configuring my ssh-server. I want to allow only X11 forwarding in one way, so that only ssh -Y works and not ssh -X
[11:38] <dwarder> !FreeNx
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> Fertakao: so they will need installing via wine to satisfy these files / settings
[11:39] <Fertakao> hmm i see
[11:39] <erUSUL> Admin__: i've seen it... maybe truecrypt did not load properly and etx3 is seing the Block bitmap encypted and it thinks it is corrupted ?
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: if they are super portable they can be, lie ones you can just copy from machine to machine and run
[11:39] <zvacet> !virtualizers | Fertakao
[11:39]  * cybic Ok - after "xinput list" i see a touchpad and a ps/2 mouse... so, trackpoint is the "ps/2" i suppose... how to configurate the pointer speed of this "ps/2"?
[11:39] <diogo_79> hi
[11:39] <erUSUL> Admin__: really dunno you should ask the truecrypt developers/users. i'm sure they have a forum or mailing list to help people out with this kind of things
[11:39] <Qtpaxa> coz_: it works if I change resolution
[11:40] <diogo_79> i am having trouble with my graphic card ati radeon
[11:40] <diogo_79> this is appering in my dmesg logs [drm] Initialized radeon 1.29.0 20080528 on minor 0

[11:40] <Admin__> erUSUL: do you think if i uninstall and reinstall truecrypt that may help ?
[11:40] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  ok  I thought it might... the  2048 is part of the intel video chip and cannot be changed  so you are kind of stuck with that unless you put in a video card  that can handle both monitors at high resolution
[11:40] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: sure the same way i can run portable apps installed in winXP from a vista install ;P but the short answer was "no"
[11:40] <diogo_79> sorry
[11:40] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  nvidia I would suggest
[11:41] <Lin20> hi back
[11:41] <Lin20> this is the error iam getting
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: i like the long answer, more detail

[11:41] <Lin20> error: unknow filesystem
[11:41] <erUSUL> Admin__: really dunno sorry never used it. my only recomendation is that you get the best help and that is the one from truecrypt expert users even developers
[11:41] <Lin20> entering rescue mode
[11:41] <Qtpaxa> coz_: is a laptop... and I used to be able to use compiz in both screens :(
[11:41] <Lin20>  grub rescue >
[11:41] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  oooo
[11:41] <erUSUL> Admin__: i've never used it myself
[11:42] <zvacet> diogo_79:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD
[11:42] <coz_> Qtpaxa,   mm could be the current intel driver then
[11:42] <silv3r_m00n> how to grep recursively ?
[11:42] <erUSUL> Admin__: maybe they have a channel here in freenode ?
[11:42] <Qtpaxa> and coz_ Checking screen 1Comparing resolution (2048x768) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.
[11:42] <DexterLB> hello
[11:42] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  there is a ppa for testing intel driver
[11:42] <Admin__> i realy do not think its a truecrypt prom.
[11:42] <Lin20> hey zvacet
[11:42] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  cool
[11:42] <dwarder> can compiz interfere with realvnc client, my screen doesn't refresh?
[11:42] <Admin__> i think its a linux prom.
[11:42] <zvacet> Lin20:  hi
[11:42] <bot_> #linux
[11:42] <Lin20> cool
[11:42] <Admin__> ok thnaks anyways
[11:42] <Lin20> i got a problem..
[11:42] <Qtpaxa> coz_: you think the problem is from intel drivers?
[11:42] <Admin__> bye guys have a good one
[11:43] <Lin20> my system is comiing with grub rescue > prompt
[11:43] <zvacet> Lin20:  say it and somebody will help you
[11:43] <coz_> Qtpaxa,  well if you said you had this running prior on a different version of your distribution it could well be  but  I am not sure ...again I generally deal with nvidia issues  and adamk  is far more skilled with intel and ati
[11:43] <raid0> How can i eenable a disabled wireless wifi network adapter in Jaunty? my laptop's button doesnt work on linux, and the adapter is present at lspci
[11:43] <Lin20> okay when i boot up my computer comes up with an error: unknown filestem also its says
[11:44] <DexterLB> I got a new ATI radeon 9600xt. So I purged the old nvidia drivers, installed the ATI driver from envyng, dpkg-reconfigured xserver-xorg but X couldn't start so I went in recovery mode purged all fglrx stuff, dpkg-reconfigured X again and now it works
[11:44] <Lin20> entering  rescure  mode
[11:44] <Lin20> and comes up with   grub rescue >  prompt
[11:44] <DexterLB> but ubuntu says that I haven't got any properitary drivers currently installed
[11:44] <DexterLB> but compiz works great and I do have 3D, and it's a lot better than with NVidia
[11:45] <DexterLB> is it the open source driver that does the 3D?
[11:45] <zvacet> Lin20:  type in terminal sudo fdisk -l and pastebin it here
[11:45] <Lin20> ok thx
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> DexterLB: if it doesnt affect anything, dont sweat it
[11:45] <DexterLB> ok
[11:45] <DexterLB> :)
[11:46] <DexterLB> now how do I configure X to create a seperate X screen for the HDMI out?
[11:46] <DexterLB> with nvidia I used nvidia-settings
[11:46] <raid0> any ideas on my problem?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> DexterLB: thats because nvidia rock :)
[11:46] <bot_> no sorry
[11:46] <DexterLB> thanks
[11:46] <Lin20> Zvacet here it is...
[11:46] <Lin20> http://pastebin.com/m45538ec5
[11:46] <DexterLB> yes I know nvidia is better
[11:47] <DexterLB> and ati is sort of from AMD
[11:47] <DexterLB> and AMD sucks
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> i dont mind amd
[11:47] <nurettin> hello
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> semperons are nice cheap cpus for basic systems
[11:47] <nurettin> i am upgraded kernel  2.6.24-25-generic
[11:48] <nurettin> and i cant use virtualbox
[11:48] <raid0> How can i eenable a disabled wireless  network adapter in Jaunty? my laptop's button doesnt work on linux, and the adapter is present at lspci
[11:48] <zvacet> Lin20:  and where is Ubuntu because ubuntu use ext3 format
[11:48] <DexterLB> anyway they don't have new NVidia cards in our shops so I have to purchase one from ebay etc
[11:48] <DexterLB> but I got this ati one for free so...
[11:48] <erUSUL> raid0: unload blacklist the driver for it
[11:48] <suppermann> Why does "ForwardX11Trusted yes" not work?
[11:48] <Lin20> so what ur saying this installation is borked
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> nurettin: tried reinstalling it?
[11:48] <DexterLB> !Xinerama
[11:49] <raid0> erUSUL,  how do i do that?
[11:49] <nurettin> ActionParsnip: no
[11:49] <erUSUL> !blacklist | raid0
[11:49] <Lin20> i had it before it comes up with grub rescure > prompt when i start the computer
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> nutterpc: sudo apt-get install --reinstall virtualbox-ose
[11:49] <erUSUL> raid0: to unload a module do « sudo modprobe -r modulename »
[11:50] <jan__> hi all :)
[11:50] <nurettin> ActionParsnip: i hate kernel upgrades
[11:50] <zvacet> Lin20:  byb default ubuntu use ext3 format you will have to reinstall it I'm afraid maybe someone have solution for that but...
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> nurettin: they often arent necessary
[11:50] <DexterLB> !XFree86
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> nurettin: unless its security
[11:50] <Lin20> noooooooooooooooooo
[11:50] <jan__> does anybody know how to check in what mode my sata hdd is running? sata1 or sata2?
[11:50] <nurettin> ActionParsnip: yes true.
[11:51] <jan__> with hdparm -I it does only show the drive is capable of..
[11:51] <Lin20> Action give a hand here m8
[11:51] <logan> ehi
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> jan__: sudo lshw -C disk    may say
[11:51] <zvacet> nurettin:  in synaptic reinstall vbox
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> jan__: if anything you can look at the serial of the drive ou use and see whats going on
[11:52] <Lin20> can someone help pls
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Lin20: ive seen no question
[11:52] <Lin20> ok here it is
[11:52] <l> ehi
[11:52] <jan__> lshw does show almost everything except the sata mode :D
[11:53] <Lin20> when i boot my system it comes up with error: unknow filesystem and also...its says
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> jan__: then like I said, websearch the disk serial
[11:53] <Lin20> entering rescue mode
[11:53] <jan__> well the disk is capable of sata2
[11:53] <jan__> its a newer SSD
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> Lin20: check your /etc/fstab is correct
[11:53] <Lin20> then goes into grub rescue > prompt
[11:53] <Lin20> how?
[11:53] <nurettin> zvacet: sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-ose
[11:53] <jan__> and my controller can handle sata 2, too
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> Lin20: run: sudo fdisk -l    look at the partitions and types
[11:53] <Chiselhuk_Plus1> Could u plse let me know how to disable automatic updates on Ubuntu....I'm having trouble with my mobile b/band speed!
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> Lin20: then run: sudo blkid     to get the IDs
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> Lin20: then read fstab to make sure its all singing right
[11:54] <zvacet> nurettin:  no  just mark it for reinstall you have to do that after every kernel upgrade
[11:54] <nurettin> zvacet: http://pastebin.com/mbb3c951
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> jan__: then it will run at sata2 after the 2 negotiate and find they can both use the faster speed
[11:54] <Fertakao> thanks guys see ya
[11:54] <dwarder> with realvns i can only see how desktop were look like when i connected, it doesn't refresh, any ideas why?
[11:55] <gotunandan> Chiselhuk_Plus1, : Goto System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[11:55] <Lin20> ok its saying partition table entries are not in disk order Action
[11:55] <gotunandan> Chiselhuk_Plus1, : Then the Updates tab and choose to only notify you about updates.
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Lin20: thats normal
[11:56] <zvacet> nurettin:  you have vbox before kernel upgrade and it worked fine?
[11:56] <gotunandan> Chiselhuk_Plus1, : But its recommended to download the security updates whenever possible
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Lin20: just check the partitions on each disk and how the system is laid out
[11:56] <nurettin> yes
[11:56] <nurettin> very good
[11:56] <nurettin> zvacet: yes very good.
[11:56] <Chiselhuk_Plus1> gotunandan: Thank you, am hoping the drop to 2g speed is only temporary!! :)
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Lin20: fstab uses usids now so you will need to make a note of the blkids you read and which partition they relate to and what file system it uses
[11:57] <Burtybob> Hi al
[11:57] <zvacet> nurettin:  then just reinstalling from synaptic should get it back that worked for me
[11:57] <Burtybob> Hi all*
[11:57] <jan__> ActionParsnip: yes i think so, but look: [    1.100138] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[11:57] <jan__> [    1.471305] ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[11:57] <nurettin> zvacet: i must find virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-25-generic
[11:57] <Lin20> no idea here lol
[11:58] <Burtybob> I can't install libphp-adodb with sudo apt-get install libphp-adodb it just dies and does nothing :'(
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> jan__: do you have a SATA optical drive?
[11:58] <zvacet> nurettin:  aren7t they in synaptic
[11:58] <zvacet> *aren't
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> jan__: one is ata1, the other is ata2
[11:59] <Chiselhuk_Plus1> gotunandan: Would u say checking for updates weekly is sufficient, it was on daily!!
[11:59] <nurettin> zvacet: yes not in synaprtic
[11:59] <jan__> ActionParsnip: sry sry, didnt see ata1 and ata2 - yes, ata 2 is dvd
[11:59] <jan__> :D omfg
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> jan__: implying 2 different devices
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> jan__: ;)
[11:59] <jan__> ActionParsnip: yep yep im blind sry
[11:59] <jan__> ActionParsnip: but thx so far ;)
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> jan__: 1.5gbps off a dvd aint bad at all
[12:00] <jan__> ActionParsnip: :D:D that would be nice+
[12:00] <nurettin> zvacet: i will restart ubuntu in the kernel 2.6.24.24
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> jan__: with a maintained read it could get there
[12:00] <gotunandan> Chiselhuk_Plus1, : Checking for updates is different from downloading them, I personally allow it to check daily, but I decide when to download them depending on how fast the connection is at that time as well as whether the updates are critical or not
[12:01] <jan__> ActionParsnip: rly? but however, np :D
[12:01] <jan__> ActionParsnip: need to go, thank you
[12:01] <Chiselhuk_Plus1> gotunandan: Thanks for your assistance. :)
[12:02] <zvacet> nurettin: yes that can be solution
[12:02] <fishsponge> hey people - i've just installed 8.04 LTS and am trying to install APC Powerchute Business Edition... but i'm having some problems...
[12:02] <fishsponge> can anyone guide me through getting my 8.04 LTS box to talk to the UPS (via RS232 serial connection) and then run a script before shutting itself down?
[12:03] <fishsponge> i don't mind which piece of software we use, as long as it's reliable and can run a shell script if the battery gets low, before shutting itself down
[12:04] <cham_eleon> Any ideas what I can do if my gconf seems to work not correct? i.e. apps>metacity: all keys have a "<no value>" it started after gnome-power-manager displayed a notify.
[12:04] <Burtybob> tried
[12:04] <Burtybob> cham: tried restartin?
[12:05] <cham_eleon> yeah sure :)
[12:05] <cham_eleon> had this error some month ago, after a while it disappeared
[12:05] <cham_eleon> I can't change the desktop image, too - it does not save the settings, same with mouse or keyboard settings

[12:07] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, I also tried rebuilding my home with a backup of a day everything worked fine, the error also appears with a new created user/home-dir
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> cham_eleon: its good to check though
[12:08] <zvacet> see yo later
[12:08] <Lin20> nope nothing
[12:09] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, I think its something else that has not to do with my homedir
[12:09] <rah> I am copying 465 GB data from one SATA drive to other SATA drive with p4,2.0ghz and 2.5 gb ram but its showing 6 hours remaining in ubuntu LIVE cd, please help me wrt this slow transfer rate or this is good transfer rate??
[12:10] <n8tuser> rah 465 gigs should take you minimum a day for that immense size
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> cham_eleon: if you analyse the output of the command
[12:11] <rah> n8tuser , is it so that windows explorer copies faster than ubuntu???
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> cham_eleon: you need to be the owner of all that data

[12:11] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, I am

[12:12] <ActionParsnip> !ide | r3za
[12:12] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, I had this problem some month ago, I "accepted" this and after a while it disappeared... that was very weird.
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> cham_eleon: did you log a bg?
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> bug*
[12:13] <sH0cKwAVe> bazhang: can't wait, i faced serious bag in 3.3.2, i need to do that immediately
[12:13] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, I found one thats similiar to mine from 2008 :)
[12:13] <sH0cKwAVe> bug*
[12:13] <bazhang> sH0cKwAVe, dont mix and match repos of versions
[12:14] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, http://tinyurl.com/yzoeosb <- this blog posts describes my problem (the amazing thing is, my name is ben too but i'm not the author of this entry)
[12:14] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, his solution was it to switch do KDE but thats no option for me!
[12:14] <sH0cKwAVe> bazhang: so i mean i have to compile it myself?
[12:14] <sH0cKwAVe> you* mean
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> cham_eleon: weird
[12:14] <vox> sH0cKwAVe: you can wait a week for 9.10 to be officially released
[12:14] <vox> *or you can
[12:15] <bazhang> sH0cKwAVe, if you dont wish to version upgrade to karmic then yes
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> cham_eleon: as its sporadic theres no real fixes as it fixes itself, you'll have to watch closer what makes it work and not work
[12:15] <cjs> How do I make 9.10 stop displaying all the valid users in the GDM login screen?

[12:17] <systemcrash> #dbox2
[12:18] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, another thing i recognized after the gnome-power-manager notify was that my "close,minimize,maximize" buttons are missing (and my menu icons too!) - i rebuilt the window icons with manually setting button_layout with gconf-editor for metacity
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> cham_eleon: do you mean the window decorator bar?
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> or just the buttons
[12:19] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, nope only the buttons, the borders, etc where still there (and i'm not using compiz)
[12:19] <bartmon> iceroot: thanks, i'l lgive it a look
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> cham_eleon: is it the same in a different theme?
[12:20] <mudkipz> Anyone ever had any luck getting Ubuntu and the dell biometic finger working?
[12:21] <cham_eleon> ActionParsnip, yes it is, the crazy thing is, after I had this problem for first time i wasn't able to switch the theme, now i am but things like "background image" aren't working, only background color
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> you got some weird stuff goig on dude
[12:21] <cham_eleon> Yeah but I'm not the only one :)
[12:21] <cham_eleon> I will fill a bug in the next minutes
[12:21] <cham_eleon> I'm using Ubuntu/Linux for over 10 years.....

[12:23] <testi_> I'm using totem as my music player, because any other music player i installed (banshee and rythmbox) were incapable of dealing with m3u files correctly. Is there a music player for ubuntu that can deal with m3u files?
[12:23] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=203080 riyonuk
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> testi_: vlc plays them amazingly
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> testi_: all an m3u is, is a text file of files to play
[12:24] <testi_> ActionParsnip: but VLC is also more a video player than a music player. I'd like to have the ability to minimize to systray and rightclick on systray icon etc.
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> testi_: you can make them in a terminal or command prompt in windows
[12:24] <riyonuk> Oooh, gotta logout and set it, right. brb. Thanks bazhang [=
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> testi_: vlc has a tray icon
[12:24] <karmic> what is the difference between 'ctrl+c' and 'ctrl+z'.
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> karmic: ctrl+c == copy   ctrl+x == undo
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> +z sorry
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> +x == cut
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> +v == paste
[12:26] <karmic> no
[12:26] <karmic> in context of stopping a process
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> testi_: vlc is an everything player, it can also stream the audio out to people who are connected to it and also has a web interface for headless use
[12:26] <jonnor> karmic: ctrl + z pauses it, and you can resume it in background or foreground
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> karmic: well, you never said that
[12:26] <jonnor> with bg or fg respecticly
[12:27] <karmic> yeah but i have corrected myself now :)
[12:27] <sgs1990> join #ubuntu-nl
[12:27] <jonnor> google bash job control for more information
[12:27] <karmic> ok
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> karmic: please pre-correct yourself with future questions so the right context is known. it helps ;)
[12:27] <jonnor> Yes, never assume.

[12:34] <bazhang> virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-19-generic ActionParsnip this?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> nurettin: you may have to use the older kernel until the vbox guys catch up
[12:34] <nurettin> ActionParsnip: uname -a
[12:34] <theadmin> Make behaves interestingly. It gives errors with such error codes as 1 and 2 but no descriptions. What are those?
[12:35] <nurettin> ActionParsnip: 2.6.24-25-generic #1 SMP Fri Sep 18 16:49:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[12:35] <nurettin> ActionParsnip: i tlked vbox guys other channel.
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> nurettin: you may have to not use your vboxes, or just boot to the kerenl it works with, then when the package is released you can use the newer kernel
[12:36] <nurettin> ActionParsnip:  they are said " such packages are provided by the linux distros themselves, so ask their packagers"
[12:36] <distant_voice> I'm currently running the 9.10 beta, so I'm in the development tree? will I hop on the stable tree once 9.10 is released as stable?

[12:48] <lukasz> DJones ok thx :(
[12:48] <gamerx> idyllic, ATI Radeon HD 3470
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> harry_: you'll need to open Makefile with gedit and edit a line somewhere
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> harry_: it will most likely want kernel sources

[12:52] <ActionParsnip> someone will need to verify
[12:52] <harry_> ActionParsnip: and that is how I point?
[12:52] <idyllic> gamerx: can , or you can go direct to software sources
[12:52] <v1tal3> afeijo: so you have an ubuntu partition and a windows partition?  do get a choice of which OS to boot into when you turn on your machine?  also, in what order did you install the OS's?
[12:52] <gamerx> idyllic, how :/
[12:53] <idyllic> gamerx: are you on jaunty?
[12:53] <gamerx> idyllic, i think i got it, umm yes jaunty
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> harry_: not sure, read the guides
[12:53] <afeijo> v1tal3: yep, thats it.  I installed ubuntu then windows.  I know I have to use grub to recover it, but fdisk -l shows nothing here
[12:53] <harry_> ;)
[12:53] <gamerx> idyllic, im in software sources

[12:54] <ptl> afeijo: If you are not using lilo, instead of the 'lilo' command, use 'grub-install'
[12:54] <v1tal3> afeijo: you can try what ptl said, though i've never done that myself.  i always thought it'd have to be done through grub again
[12:55] <afeijo> ptl: I was using grub, not lilo. I will try grup-install, thanks

[12:57] <ptl> afeijo: yes, at the end of that line use && grub-install
[12:57] <idyllic> gamerx: then it should ask you to upadte fglrx-modalias, fglrx-kernelsource, etc..
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> harry_: looks like it /usr/src/<kernel version>

[13:05] <Pici> dodododo : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[13:06] <DaZ> U-b-u-n-t-u: ~/.mozilla/plugins
[13:06] <rapchee> hi
[13:06] <U-b-u-n-t-u> just put it there?
[13:06] <DaZ> U-b-u-n-t-u: or /usr/share/mozilla/plugins
[13:06] <dodododo> DJones, thanks for answering
[13:06] <DaZ> yes
[13:06] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ty
[13:06] <dodododo> OK
[13:06] <redtide> anyone can help me please?
[13:06] <U-b-u-n-t-u> daz but its swiftfox same dir?
[13:06] <crazybyyou> recently im working with an .iso image dvd, and trying ti bunr it into a dvd, but the .iso desapear i searh in trash but i dont see, where is it?
[13:06] <DaZ> U-b-u-n-t-u: even opera uses this path
[13:07] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ah ok thanks
[13:07] <gamerx> idyllic, im just watching a  show, but ill tell you how it went after its done, if your there
[13:07] <v1tal3> redtide: can't you just view the file in the terminal?
[13:07] <rapchee> could you guys help me with some simple coding task? i wish to create a simple gui for a command line tool
[13:07] <pagix> rapchee, sure I could help
[13:08] <redtide> I'm still editing it, but all interfaces there are never shown in ubuntu /systems/connections prefs
[13:08] <rapchee> pagix: pm?
[13:08] <FiloSottile> how to wait for a process for exit in bash? the process isn't a children of the shell but is listed in ps -al (it is a child of the child). wait doesn't work
[13:08] <v1tal3> did you try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" to restart the interfaces?
[13:09] <KippeL> do you know if the 9.10 netbook remix will be lauched on the same day as the desktop edition?
[13:09] <redtide> yes but that's not the point, I need to edit them from gnome configurator in ubuntu and then see changes in interfaces file, not possible? (also the opposite)
[13:09] <iceroot> FiloSottile: you want to wait until the process is finished successfull/not successfull and then want to start another process/programm?
[13:09] <FiloSottile> iceroot: yes
[13:09] <FiloSottile> iceroot: it is a videogame
[13:10] <v1tal3> redtide: ah, i'm not 100% sure on that then, short of trying a reboot
[13:10] <iceroot> FiloSottile: process && process-run-on-success || -process-run-on-fail
[13:10] <whitehat> guys strange happened to my 9.10 desktop after i press the f5 icons were gone and the mouse pointer with a round in it keeps turning as if he process something
[13:10] <FiloSottile> iceroot: i start the launcher, it starts the game and exits
[13:10] <iceroot> FiloSottile: && is executed if it is retunring ok || is executed if returun is not ok
[13:10] <redtide> I mean: /etc/network/interface file seems to not be handled by ubuntu tcp preference
[13:10] <FiloSottile> iceroot: i want to wait for the game, not the launcher
[13:10] <James_T_Kirk> greetings folks.... in other words, Asalaam Aleikum!
[13:11] <James_T_Kirk> Someone please decode these lines for me...
[13:11] <kohlrak> i'm looking at the update messages here, what's with this "Bump ABI to -16 due to security update." they're not changing the calling conventions on linux are they?
[13:11] <FiloSottile> iceroot: so i need to wait for a pid
[13:11] <iceroot> !paste | James_T_Kirk
[13:11] <U-b-u-n-t-u> DaZ, there wasnt a plugins dir so I created it and put the .so there

[13:11] <James_T_Kirk> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[13:11] <FiloSottile> (that i can get via ps -al)
[13:11] <vici0us> ssh connection says no route to host, host does respond to ping, and hosts's sshd server is runnning --> "ssh localhost" all fine. What should i check?
[13:12] <James_T_Kirk> thanks iceroot but they are only TWO lines... LOL
[13:12] <nikolam> I get some proxy error while trying to send a bug report. it worked on second try.
[13:12] <James_T_Kirk> running apt-get update doesnt resolve the problem.
[13:12] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk: gpg --recv-key 9AA38DCD55BE302B
[13:12] <kohlrak> James T Kirk, seems you problem is that you reinstalled linux or something and your keys were lost. =p
[13:12] <iceroot> James_T_Kirk: debian repository?
[13:12] <FiloSottile> kohlrak: no, he needs to download the key
[13:12] <jeroenimo> Hey peeps, just someone point me to what I have to remove to get my default UNR gnome setting back to normal... I messed up the panels and such, I'm in karmic
[13:13] <James_T_Kirk> kohlrak: i havent reinstalled
[13:13] <kohlrak> ah
[13:13] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk: run " gpg --recv-key 9AA38DCD55BE302B "
[13:13] <DaZ> jeroenimo: ~/.gnome* ? ;f
[13:13] <jeroenimo> DaZ: did that, did not work
[13:13] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk: and then sudo apt-get update
[13:14] <apparle> !wine
[13:14] <bcpeters> If i download karmic today and continue doing updates until the official release date, will I have the official full release of Karmic when it comes out? Or are there packages that won't get updated through the usual update process?
[13:14] <James_T_Kirk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/299012/
[13:15] <DJones> bcpeters: Yes, it'll be final if you keep upgrading

[13:18] <kohlrak> . means it's a hidden folder, ~/ means your home directory
[13:18] <MikeChelen> jeroenimo: dot-files (files and directories with a . before them) usually contain configuration settings
[13:18] <MikeChelen> yup
[13:18] <jeroenimo> kohlrak: I know, but remving them does not reset gnome
[13:18] <MikeChelen> /home/username

[13:18] <Dr_Willis> jeroenimo:  theres also the .gconf* dirs and some in .config that may affect specific apps
[13:18] <MikeChelen> jeroenimo: that might not be the only directory that includes settings
[13:18] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk: " sudo gpg --recv-key 55BE302B --keyserver keys.gnupg.net "
[13:18] <jeroenimo> Dr_Willis: Ah!
[13:18] <MikeChelen> yeah check ~/.config as well

[13:19] <jeroenimo> brb
[13:19] <FiloSottile> W Gpg
[13:19] <kohlrak> jeroenimo: because gnome has always been weird like that. It apparently doesn't have an emergency setup to revert to if config is deleted...

[13:21] <redtide> v1tal3: what I mean in the end is that I wish that network configurator could be a gui for /etc/network/interfaces but it isn't
[13:21] <DeFi> can anyone tell me how i can get variables for the ip, gateway, range, etc for a script in /etc/network/if-up.d ?
[13:21] <apparle> How to make the parallel port accessible in programs running under wine
[13:21] <Bob_Dole2> So, the 9.10 beta/RC is 7 days from being released.. would it then be "safe" to try it on a pre-production machine?
[13:22] <DJones> !karmic | Bob_Dole2 RC is due today, final release is due in 7 days
[13:23] <jeroenimo> Dr_Willis: that helped... cheers mate!
[13:23] <Bob_Dole2> Um, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download is giving me a 403 forbidden error...
[13:24] <Bob_Dole2> And F5 fixed  it o.o;;
[13:24] <dwarder> in my windows xp guest vmplayer os, instead of < i enter / , how can i fix it?
[13:24] <nic1> what does this error mean? dpkg: failed to open package info file `/usr/local/var/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory
[13:24] <grawity> nic1: It means exactly that: dpkg tried to open that file, but it doesn't exist.

[13:26] <redtide> I have a complex netwrok to setup and I'm not expert in linux commands and so on :P
[13:26] <James_T_Kirk_> was i /ignored or /banned? LOL
[13:26] <dwarder> if i enter < in ubuntu i see < , but in xp (in vmplayer) i see / insted of < , how can i fix it?
[13:26] <dwarder> anyone encoutered it?
[13:26] <James_T_Kirk_> did anyone take a look at my pastebin? i am stuck, completely.
[13:26] <dwarder> does workaround exist?
[13:26] <James_T_Kirk_> sudo apt-get update DOESNT work at all!
[13:27] <Bob_Dole2> nrik, the Radeon doesn't need drivers. It has open source ones that work by default(they suck, but ATI doesn't provide any drivers for it, since the release of Ubuntu 9.04)
[13:27] <grawity> James_T_Kirk_: Can you paste that link again?
[13:27] <Bob_Dole2> nrik, Radeon 9200*
[13:28] <nrik> Bob_Dole2: what i should do?
[13:28] <Emery> how would i find a path using grep ?
[13:28]  * nrik Ubuntu 8.04
[13:28] <apparle> The Radeon OSS drivers for Radeon Xpress 200 are great.......... work right out of the box
[13:29] <Bob_Dole2> nrik, 8.04 doesn't allow you to install it? Odd.
[13:29] <Bob_Dole2> apparle, they don't work as well as the proprietary drivers did. Though they do work. :D
[13:29] <FiloSottile> Emery: google regex
[13:30] <blackxored>  hi there's this issue with conky i set alignment top_right in my conkyrc, and still aligns to left hiding my desktop icons, if I run it with conky -a top_right it works, any clues?
[13:30] <jmut> hi folks. wondering    if ubuntu and kubuntu are supported by same people.                   thing is I want ubuntu but prefer KDE x
[13:30] <FiloSottile> Emery: not very good: [^/]/[^/]
[13:30] <grawity> jmut: Yes, Kubuntu is an official version
[13:30] <apparle> Bob_Dole2: I didn't notice any diffrence............ the effects are smooth and I don't use anything else.............
[13:31] <James_T_Kirk_> grawity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/299012/
[13:31] <jmut> grawity: coolio. thanks
[13:31] <blackxored> anyone???
[13:32] <Bob_Dole2> apparle, I noticed a bit of framerate difference. game was playable with restricted drivers, wasn't playable with open source drivers, on the same settings anyways.
[13:32] <grawity> James_T_Kirk_: Your ~/.gnupg/ directory is probably owned by root. sudo chown -R aziz:aziz ~/.gnupg; sudo chmod go-rwx ~/.gnupg;
[13:32] <apparle> Bob_Dole2: I play game s on WinXP
[13:32] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk: i said you " sudo gpg --recv-key 55BE302B --keyserver keys.gnupg.net "
[13:32] <Bob_Dole2> apparle, Ah. I don't really use windows. I can't say I don't have a windows machine anymore, though.
[13:33] <FiloSottile> grawity: it is only a notice, the error is with the repository
[13:33] <apparle> Bob_Dole2: Bought XP years ago...... and have some games so why not to use it :)

[13:33] <James_T_Kirk_> grawity: same error, let me give you the new pastebin
[13:33] <Bob_Dole2> Folding@Home was the deciding factor on running windows.. Have a Radeon 3850 in one of my machines, can't run the GPU client on it under linux(I could with an Nvidia card, though) so I put windows on a machine to fold with that card. :/
[13:34] <grawity> James_T_Kirk_: In that case... hmm
[13:34] <FiloSottile> grawity: no one hears me?
[13:34] <Bob_Dole2> Also, I think I need to change mirrors. mirror.kernel.org is giving a 404 on the updates.
[13:34] <grawity> FiloSottile: can you say that louder?
[13:34] <James_T_Kirk_> grawity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/299020/
[13:35] <Bob_Dole2> FiloSottile, you're a little quiet. Oh wait, that's because you're miles away and I can only ready what you type D:
[13:35] <James_T_Kirk_> FiloSottile: that didnt work either
[13:35] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk: paste the output
[13:36] <FiloSottile> Bob_Dole2:  ???
[13:36] <Bob_Dole2> FiloSottile, we can "read" you, but not hear you. :D
[13:36] <James_T_Kirk_> FiloSottile: take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/299021/
[13:37] <FiloSottile> Bob_Dole2: ha-ha, look for my messages, i'm not a newbie

[13:39] <mengu> hi. i have made a port forward for web server however i failed. i cannot go to admin panel 192.168.1.1. my computer doesn't get connected to the net. however the laptop i'm using now does.
[13:39] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk_: i mistaked the args, try the new command, don't ask privately to all
[13:40] <James_T_Kirk_> The results are here http://paste.ubuntu.com/299024/
[13:40] <Pirate_Hunter> is there a way to get alsa to accept multiple audio output instead of just accepting only one at a time i.e. if im playing music through mpd I can't listen to any audio from youtube or other programs
[13:40] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk_: good, now apt-get update will work
[13:40] <James_T_Kirk_> FiloSottile: but it still hasnt solved the problem...
[13:41] <James_T_Kirk_> lol
[13:41] <FiloSottile> lol
[13:41] <FiloSottile> James_T_Kirk_: same error with apt-get ?
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> James_T_Kirk_: is it better with: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu 55BE302B
[13:41] <James_T_Kirk_> FiloSottile: will dpkg work in this case? | yea, same error
[13:42] <FiloSottile> right
[13:42] <FiloSottile> try that
[13:42] <shrini_> hai
[13:42] <James_T_Kirk_> ActionParsnip: done. do you want the pastebin or i should just go ahead and sudo apt-get update?
[13:42] <FiloSottile> go ahead
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> James_T_Kirk_: if its done then apt-get update is fine
[13:42] <shrini_> i need help on configuring ubuntu 9.04 with benq projecter
[13:42] <qwerty1212> hi! When's 9.10 coming out?
[13:43] <James_T_Kirk_> thanks, it worked... :-D
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> James_T_Kirk_: your command was mishmashed, if yu read the output you needed to swap the code with the keyserver bit
[13:43] <DeFi> can anyone tell me how i can get variables for the ip, gateway, range, etc for a script in /etc/network/if-up.d ?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> !9.10 | qwerty1212
[13:43] <qwerty1212> ActionParsnip thanks :)
[13:43] <mengu> can i disable port forwarding in the terminal?
[13:43] <James_T_Kirk_> ActionParsnip: thanks, even though am still as much a noob as any.... lol
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> mengu: if your system is a router, yes
[13:43] <FiloSottile> ActionParsnip: i mistaked the command, but the problem was that not using apt-key but not-root gpg
[13:44] <Degot> DeFi: ask your ISP
[13:44] <Pirate_Hunter> is there a way to get alsa to accept multiple audio output instead of just accepting only one at a time i.e. if im playing music through mpd I can't listen to any audio from youtube or other programs
[13:44] <shrini_> need help on projecter
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> mengu: if your PC connects directly to the we (not via router) then there is no port forwarding in place
[13:44] <Degot> DeFi: ...change /etc/network/interfaces
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> mengu: if you use a router (or wireless0 then the device giving the connection is responsible for the port forwarding
[13:45] <James_T_Kirk_> ActionParsnip: i thank you for having saved the day, once again... i remember when i was just starting out, i had lots of problems with XORG, you helped!
[13:45] <DeFi> no, i mean the interface details Degot
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> !details | shrini_
[13:45] <mengu> ActionParsnip. my pc doesn't get connected to the modem. modem is up and running and i'm using it's wireless via laptop and i can connect.
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> James_T_Kirk_: its all fun and games
[13:45] <vox> DeFi: you want to know what an interface is currently set to?
[13:45] <Degot> Defi: what do you mean "details"?
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> mengu: then the port forwarding is done on the wireless central point, not your PC
[13:46] <James_T_Kirk_> ActionParsnip: yea, lol... i bet it is...
[13:46] <Degot> DeFi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/299025/
[13:47] <Degot> DeFi: These details?
[13:47] <James_T_Kirk_> offtopic: does anyone know where i can get used computers for our schools project?
[13:47] <mengu> ActionParsnip, i got that part, thanks
[13:47] <Degot> James_T_Kirk_: eBay )
[13:47] <shrini_> i use ubuntu 9.04, having problem with projector
[13:48] <DeFi> yes vox, the details it is currently set to
[13:48] <DeFi> for a post-up script
[13:48] <Bob_Dole2> sudo apt-get update shouldn't take 5+ minutes should it?
[13:48] <shrini_> using benq projector, ATI card
[13:48] <shrini_> need help
[13:48] <indus> shrini_: what problem
[13:48] <jack99> when the release candidate of 9.10 is released will it be available for download in the daily build section?
[13:48] <James_T_Kirk_> Degot: lol
[13:48] <Bob_Dole2> Because.. every mirror is so slow, and apt-get takes forever, while I can download from MS updates at 600KB/s or more Dx
[13:48] <shrini_> indus: hai
[13:48] <shrini_> indus: I can not connect with projector
[13:49] <jeroenimo> Bob_Dole2: use a different mirror
[13:49] <shrini_> indus: ubuntu doesnot detectmy benq projecter
[13:49] <indus> shrini_: did u press the f5 ke
[13:49] <Tricks> I have installed snoopy by apt-get is there any other configurations I need to do in order to get the functions working?
[13:49] <indus> shrini_: it doesnt need to detect it, just takes the signal from displa y and putss it on screen
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> Bob_Dole2:   also with the release of 9.10 RC - could be a lot of servers are updateing  at this time to get ready for it.
[13:49] <Bob_Dole2> jeroenimo, I found 1 fast mirror. It's 404'ing when I try to update. when I use "choose best mirror" it choose one that is blocked. when I manually select, I mostly get at 5-10KB/s
[13:49] <Tricks> snoopy as in the php functions
[13:49] <shrini_> indus: yes
[13:49] <shrini_> indus: I tried the keys
[13:50] <shrini_> indus: but no use
[13:50] <shrini_> indus: no display in projecter
[13:50] <indus> shrini_: does monitor go blank ?
[13:50] <shrini_> indus: no
[13:50] <indus> shrini_: maybe the ATI output is bad
[13:50] <indus> shrini_: works in windows check it
[13:50] <bcpeters> where do i get the latest and greatest for Karmic?
[13:51] <whalberg> ActionParsnip: i removed the port forwarding, i am able to connect it via this wireless laptop. and then removed the network interfaces. everything's cool now.
[13:51] <whalberg> thanks.
[13:51] <shrini_> indus: windows works well
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> whalberg: sweet
[13:51] <shrini_> indus: same machine. dual boot
[13:51] <indus> shrini_: the ATI open source drivers? or closed?
[13:51] <shrini_> indus: how to check?
[13:52] <shrini_> indus: i use the default
[13:52] <indus> shrini_: which ati card
[13:52] <eniacpx> Anyone know the status of the Karmic beta, how close to production is it? Meaining, if I install it now, am I basically installing the same version I would get if I wait?
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> shrini_:  ive also seen some quirks where a monitor/projector needs to be hooked up at boot time for it to be seen/get enabled/toggled.
[13:52] <indus> eniacpx: no but you wont have major breakages
[13:53] <Bob_Dole2> mirror.kernel.org is the "fast" mirror, and by fast I mean it goes at 10KB/s 80% of the time but will occasionally spike up to 1MB/s. There's an issue somewhere. But the ability to get updates from MS, and that downloading updates through a proxy that can max at 30KB/s is often faster than going straight to the source concerns me.
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> eniacpx:  RC in theory is the same..  but there will be updates. Check the !release factoid
[13:53] <halp_meh> hey, how would I change the network interface I'm using , example eth0 to ppp0?
[13:53] <shrini_> indus: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
[13:53] <shrini_> Dr_Willis: I rebooted. no use
[13:53] <indus> shrini_: ok open source i guess, ubuntu 9.04?
[13:53] <DeFi> can anyone tell me how i can get variables for the ip, gateway, range, etc for a post-up script for a ppp interface?
[13:53] <shrini_> indus: yes 9.04
[13:54] <jonnor> Bob_Dole2: I assumge youre not downloading the MS updates from Ubuntu?
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> DeFi:  some scripting and use of the ifconfig command is one way. depending on your needs
[13:54] <jeroenimo> Bob_Dole2: I get fast speeds, but I'm not in the U.S.
[13:54] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, of course not.
[13:54] <jonnor> how fast is your connection when downloading say the latest karmic release in Ubuntu?
[13:54] <DeFi> ok Dr_Willis, ill make a python script to do it, thanks :)
[13:54] <Degot> DeFi: cd /usr/share/doc/ifupdown
[13:54] <jonnor> as expected or slow?
[13:55] <jonnor> also, did this problem start recently or has it always been this way
[13:55] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, http? ~10-15KB/s. on torrents? ~400KB/s
[13:55] <shrini_> indus: what to do now?
[13:55] <jonnor> so it seems that http is slow in general.. what about ftp?
[13:55] <_Narc_> Hey everyone
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> jonnor: torrents are multiple source so will be faster
[13:56] <indus> shrini_:run a sudo dpkg-reconfigure --phigh xserver-xorg and try
[13:56] <shrini_> indus: did, no use
[13:56] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, It was a problem until the end of last year's school year. (last 3 months worked alright) then it got fixed, and started again at the start of the school year. I'm volunteering at a high-school to setup a linux-lab and other cost-saving measures.
[13:56] <indus> shrini_: ok hmm i dont know now
[13:56] <Degot> DeFi: $IFACE - interface that is affected by IFUP
[13:56] <shrini_> indus: ok
[13:56] <_Narc_> Anybody else having the "Not all updates can be installed" message today ...?
[13:56] <phoenix24_> hi
[13:57] <indus> shrini_: iam guessing you have installed drivers properly
[13:57] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, I havn't picked a mirror that offered FTP. and HTTP is faster when going through my proxy, which has a 30KB/s upload.
[13:57] <DeFi> ok thanks Degot
[13:57] <dwarder> anyone encoutered typing issue it vmplayer?
[13:57] <shrini_> indus: hmmm
[13:57] <phoenix24_> how can i build a debain package from, its source ?
[13:57] <dwarder> when you type < and get /
[13:57] <Bob_Dole2> I've tried several :/
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> !compile | phoenix24_
[13:57] <indus> shrini_: also, without errors , its difficult to diagnose
[13:57] <jonnor> Bob_Dole2: that is strange. This is from said lab right? What kind of network setup do you have?
[13:57] <indus> shrini_: did u try all the online docs?
[13:58] <shavinder> I am trying to access samba shares on ubuntu server from windows with "security = user". I can see 'homes' from windows machine but when i click on it , it says network path not found. I have searched internet and am not able to find a solution.
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: have you added browsable = yes    ?
[13:58] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, 100mbit ethernet. There's a few hubs between me and the "main" switch. It's 16mbit Comcast Cable internet, with several parts of the network being handled by T1, though the traffic itself doesn't go over the T1.
[13:58] <jonnor> and the windows is fast on http of the newest ubuntu release and is running on the same machine (or at least in the same network setup)
[13:59] <jonnor> Bob_Dole2: I'm more concerned about firewalls and such
[14:00] <shavinder> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the tip, maybe thats the error. I shall have to try tomorrow at work, i am at home right now.
[14:00] <Bob_Dole2> County runs Websense, on the other end of the T1. Blocks several mirrors.(mostly foreign universities)
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: if you want I can send you my smb.conf and it will give an easy guide to the file
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: the gui method is pathetic
[14:01] <shavinder> ActionParsnip: You took the words out of my mouth.!! I would be very grateful if you do that please
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: sure, want it now?
[14:01] <shrini_> indus: yes. trying
[14:01] <shavinder> ActionParsnip: yes please,
[14:01] <jonnor> Bob_Dole2: but your machines traffic does not go through that?
[14:01] <jonnor> try to verify that with traceroute if possible
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: http://pastebin.com/f11556664
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: all you need is the bottom group, the name in the brackets is the share name, the rest is self explanatory
[14:02] <flower> is pulseaudio part of ubuntu or gnome? e.g. can I install ubuntu with lxde without pulseaudio?
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: thats all there is to samba
[14:02] <flower> (hardy)
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: simply edit the file then run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[14:03] <ghostlines> I'm trying to umount a volume, but I can't because it's in use, I stopped all processes from using it except the mount process
[14:03] <ghostlines> will killing the  mount process be risky?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: you will need to run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    too, and set the samba pass (easier if its the same as your logon pass)
[14:03] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, it really shouldn't... traceroute gave 1  10.40.32.1 (10.40.32.1)  3.183 ms  3.621 ms  4.101 ms, and then 2-30 were just asterisks.
[14:03] <indus> shrini_: happens to me too btw, out of 5 , 3 wont project
[14:04] <indus> shrini_: try adjust resolution from sstem>admin
[14:04] <indus> shrini_: this works
[14:04] <indus> shrini_: then press function key f5 etc
[14:04] <shrini_> indus: okey
[14:04] <shrini_> indus: trying
[14:04] <meanburrito920_> has the release candidate been built yet?
[14:04] <jonnor> Bob_Dole2: do traceroute www.ubuntu.com or equivalent (if thats not what you did)
[14:04] <tavi> salut
[14:04] <tavi> hy
[14:04] <shavinder> ActionParsnip: the file you just dpasted, is it the default original one that ships? or are you using it? i could not find anything shared there
[14:05] <tavi> who help me whit the scanner
[14:05] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, I did.
[14:05] <tavi> ?
[14:05] <_Narc_> Okay, if anyone could help, I looked online but I couldn't find the reason of this problem : The update manager lauched itself today, as usual, but I got a message saying "Not all updates can be installed" and recommending me to do a partial upgrade...
[14:05] <jonnor> Bob_Dole2: and you did not get a response?
[14:05] <eniacpx> Dr_Willis: Figured as much, thanks!
[14:05] <indus> shrini_: sstem>preferences> display
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: thats mine with my settings at the bottom, the rest is stock
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: the last 15 or so lines are my settings
[14:06] <jonnor> Bob_Dole2: if not, that is worth worrying about!
[14:06] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, yeah. I can go there with firefox, though. I can't ping it, either, so I'm guessing county is blocking that,
[14:06] <jonnor> hurray
[14:06] <jonnor> google.com then
[14:06] <Bob_Dole2> I mean, blocking icmp.
[14:06] <jonnor> oh yeah
[14:08] <Bob_Dole2> jonnor, google.com is doing the same thing. icmp is more than likely blocked.
[14:08] <issyl0> Hi there.  I'm just wondering can Ubuntu 9.04 handle dial-up internet connections, will it work?
[14:08] <shavinder> ActionParsnip: okay thanks. what i want it, that 2 users should be able to connect to ubuntu server from windows by supplying their username and passwords. First is username *staff* and password lets say *staff* and second is *students* and password lets says *students*. and i created both the users using adduser command on the server. After this do i need to run the smbpwd command you just mentioned? I was under the impression that ubuntu server synced it 
[14:08] <Pirate_Hunter> I just installed icecast2 which has created user icecast2 and group icecast, however I can't gain access to the folder in /etc/icecast2/ : permission denied not even using sudo hmmm any care to explain why?
[14:09] <issyl0> Just I have a friend who I'm going to visit in a couple of weeks and I only have Ubuntu on my laptop and I don't know if dial up will work or not with it.
[14:09] <Bob_Dole2> issyl0, theoretically, yes. But it isn't the easiest thing to make work. and the ISP makes a little bit of difference, too.
[14:09] <nic1> why do i get this error? dpkg: failed to open package info file `/usr/local/var/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory. i never touched status file
[14:10] <issyl0> Bob_Dole2, oh right.  I tried last time when I went and it didn't work, it didn't even detect it and it was all plugged in okay, but I thought it was just my laptop as I was running Ubuntu through Wubi at that time
[14:10] <fjordlord> hi guys! thanks for enhancing the video lagg in firefox! for some laptops (either its intel stuff or nvidia that was thte problem)
[14:11] <jonnor> issyl0: by dial-up do you mean ISDN, analog modem or PPPoE (common on broadband)?
[14:11] <Bob_Dole2> fjordlord, flash is terrible on all platforms that are not windows, you know. ubuntu isn't responsible for adobe sucking.
[14:11] <issyl0> jonnor, I don't know, slow slow internet that only works via a cable plugged into a phone socket and it uses the phone line :/
[14:11] <fjordlord> Bob_Dole2, yea but it works alot better now!
[14:12] <fjordlord> Bob_Dole2, before this update it was lagging terrible couldnt even watch videos on youtube
[14:12] <KenBW22> i'm trying to clean my printer's print heads, but the button is greyed out. Any ideas?
[14:12] <jonnor> issyl0: that would be one of the two first, and should use the same setup
[14:12] <Bob_Dole2> fjordlord, That's good to hear. I hope to see worth-while flash soon then
[14:12] <fjordlord> Bob_Dole2, moi aussi :)
[14:12] <jonnor> I am unsure if the newest network-manager handles that
[14:13] <Jonah_> hey guys, having serious problems. i got a wireless mobile dongle from virgin today. it's recognised great by ubuntu but i don't know what my wvdial settings should be exactly. when i try to connect i get not a valid phone number or not valid user/pass etc
[14:13] <jonnor> and your modem must be supported too
[14:13] <genshihebi> hi, is there a fix for my prob. everytime I plug in a USB mouse it doesn't get recognized until I lsusb
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> shavinder: no, its seperate
[14:14] <issyl0> jonnor, oh right. Well my laptop works fine over WiFi, and the dial up is with the same ISP as my broadband.
[14:15] <Bob_Dole2> off to see if there's a gigabit ethernet card in the box full of NICs. :/
[14:16] <abdel> how do i install windows programs that are not compatible with ubuntu
[14:16] <vox> jonnor: you should just be able to connect with it using network-manager
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> !wine | abdel
[14:16] <abdel> thanks
[14:17] <vox> er
[14:17] <Snicksie> abdel, not all programs work ;) you should see that at the winehq site ;)
[14:17] <vox> Jonah_: you should just be able to connect with it using network-manager
[14:17] <genshihebi> hi, is there a fix for my prob. everytime I plug in a USB mouse it doesn't get recognized until I lsusb
[14:17] <maxjon> #join vskaug
[14:17] <maxjon> join vskaug
[14:17] <Pici> maxjon: /join #channel
[14:17] <shavinder> ActionParsnip: thanks. I am getting the feeling that both the browsable = yes and smbpasswd thing will solve my prob tommorrow.
[14:18] <Jonah_> vox: ah there's the thing, i don't use network manager, using vwdial because i put wicd on instead of network manager as it seems to work better with my other wifi hotspots etc
[14:18] <andreaiannarone> hi
[14:19] <Jonah_> would anyone have the vwdial settings needed for virgin please? or how would i do it from wicd?
[14:19] <maxjon> join #vskaug
[14:19] <andreaiannarone> ciao
[14:23] <Aviram-Laptop> HEy guys, I wonder what's the command to launch ubuntu's wireless manager?

[14:30] <erUSUL> Aviram-Laptop: nm-applet ?
[14:30] <Aviram-Laptop> I think it is
[14:30] <Aviram-Laptop> but how do I open the GUI?
[14:30] <Andrew95> ok
[14:30] <Aviram-Laptop> I wanna add it to my Cairo-Dock launchers, erUSUL.
[14:31] <erUSUL> Aviram-Laptop: wll that's an applet for the gnome panel (notification area)
[14:32] <erUSUL> Aviram-Laptop: maybe you are talking about gnome-network-properties
[14:33] <Aviram-Laptop> I wanna know how can I open the window that pops up when clicking on the gnome-panel notification icon of network
[14:33] <nic1> does anyone know easy way of making skype to work on ubuntu?
[14:34] <janhaj> hello.. :) is any way to load libraries and other important things for faster start amarok, firefox etc.?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> janhaj: have them load at startup and only minimise them
[14:36] <janhaj> ActionParsnip: how can i start program to minimized?
[14:36] <genshihebi> some programs have a -minimized option
[14:36] <genshihebi> otherwise if using compiz, there's a window rules plugin
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> janhaj: could use alltray
[14:37] <janhaj> i don't use compiz..
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> janhaj: not sure how you start a progra minimised though
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> janhaj: you can use alltray in fluxbox if you wanr
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> its not a compiz thing
[14:38] <FireVisor> Hi there, I have recently installed ubuntu. I would like to be able to use a higher resolution.  1024x678 is the max I can do right now, in games and everything.
[14:38] <janhaj> i have gnome
[14:38] <erUSUL> FireVisor: what graphic card do you have ?
[14:38] <genshihebi> openbox also has window rules
[14:38] <Snicksie> FireVisor, what's the highest resolution your graphics card provides; )
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> janhaj: it is DE and WM independant
[14:39] <FireVisor> erUSUL: Geeforce 8800 GTS
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> janhaj: its for putting apps in the tray that dont have one, one use i see most is thunderbird
[14:39] <FireVisor> Snicksie: alot higher than that... that's for sure
[14:39] <Bob_Dole2> Ubuntu LTSP lets you choose what is the "primary" NIC, right? such as if I wanted a 100mbit PCI card to connect to the outside world and the onboard gigabit as LTSP's NIC, it'd let me, right?
[14:39] <erUSUL> FireVisor: have you installed the propietary drivers ? System>Admin..>hardware drivers
[14:39] <janhaj> i don't want firefox in the tray..
[14:40] <FireVisor> erUSUL: yes, I have...
[14:40] <erUSUL> FireVisor: « gksudo nvidia-settings »
[14:40] <Bob_Dole2> FireVisor, cards often limit you to what your monitor's native resolution can do, forcing it higher might make your monitor unhappy.
[14:41] <Bob_Dole2> er, not cards, ubuntu*
[14:41] <mr> howdy, how to I make 2 commands execute in one line?
[14:41] <FireVisor> Bob_Dole2: That is definately not the problem, since I know the monitor can handle 1600x1200
[14:41] <genshihebi> mr, use ;
[14:41] <kb0odu> Mr: use a semi-colon (;) to separate the commands..
[14:41] <genshihebi> like command1; command 2
[14:42] <Guest32850> sweet, thanks:)
[14:42] <genshihebi> if you want them to execute simultaneously, use &
[14:44] <boscop> what path should I set for the java path in opera??
[14:44] <Guest32850> anyone happens to know what nautilus is in KDE3?
[14:45] <kb0odu> nautilus is part of gnome...not KDE
[14:45] <Guest32850> what is the KDE equivilant?
[14:45] <Guest32850> I'm used to Gnome, new to KDE
[14:45] <kb0odu> konqueror in KDE3...Dolphin in KDE4
[14:45] <genshihebi> kde3 uses konqueror
[14:45] <kb0odu> At least for file management.
[14:45] <FireVisor> Okay, I opened up the nVidia configurarion window, but I can't find a place there where I can change the resolution any higher. I tried to go to X server display configuration and tried to change the value in "panning: 1024x768" but that just reset.
[14:46] <RPG_Master> I downloaded the latest build of Handbrake but Getdebi gives me this error: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libwebkit-1.0-1 (>= 0~svn31841)
[14:46] <genshihebi> if you have nautlus installed you can just run>nautilus --browser ~/
[14:46] <RPG_Master> help me :O
[14:46] <RPG_Master> I have libwebkit-1.0-2 :O
[14:47] <RPG_Master> So what do I need to do?
[14:47] <Guest32850> So if I would like to run a filemanager with root privileges, do I use sudo konquoror?
[14:47] <OlliW> Mmm what options do we have left in Jaunty if the resolution of your TV/monitor isn't recognized and you only get a black screen?
[14:47] <n8tuser> get another monitor?
[14:47] <FireVisor> I get the error message "Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. When trying to change the panning in x server display in nVida X server settings.
[14:48] <OlliW> Smartass
[14:48] <OlliW> Seriously though
[14:48] <n8tuser> did it ever work in livecd ?
[14:48] <rupesh> #sugarcrm
[14:48] <kb0odu> olliw: sounds like you need to take a look at your X config file and craft a unique one for your device.
[14:48] <anarki2004> my update manager has locked up and I can't get it to close. The option to force close doesn't appear...is there a terminal command that will take care of this?
[14:49] <n8tuser> anarki2004-> find its pid and then kill -15 pidofsuch
[14:49] <vanishing> anarki2004: sudo killall dpkg
[14:50] <anarki2004> kill all?
[14:50] <vanishing> yea
[14:50] <jacquesdupontd> hi
[14:50] <vanishing> wait
[14:50] <ristovski> hey
[14:50] <vanishing> yea
[14:50] <jacquesdupontd> do you know if we can incorporate an mp3 player to the gnome panel ?
[14:50] <anarki2004> guess it wouldn't b e hard to restart
[14:50] <vanishing> sudo killall (the thing you want to kill)
[14:50] <ivangarcia> hi guys, what is the RC link ?
[14:50] <wwalker> what is the name of the ubuntu packagee(s) that is equivalent to redhat's kernel-devel
[14:51] <FireVisor> When trying to change the panning (which I guess is how you enable higher resolution) in x server display in nVida X server settings. I get the error message "Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. Do someone know where I go from there?
[14:52] <wwalker> I see the linux-headers-lbm and linux-headers-lum series, but I think I need linux-headers
[14:52] <vox> wwalker: linux-headers-<kernel>
[14:53] <Andrew95> hi
[14:53] <Andrew95> nice to meet you
[14:53] <vox> wwalker: eg: linux-headers-2.6.28-16
[14:53] <saleem> how install realplay
[14:53] <wwalker> vox, that's what I expected, but it's not there (http://packages.ubunut.com/hardy/base/)
[14:54] <anarki2004> i can't figure out what the actual name of the process is that I'm trying to kill
[14:54] <anarki2004> how do I list all processes?
[14:54] <kb0odu> try ps aux
[14:55] <anarki2004> that should do the trick methinks
[14:55] <vox> wwalker: ubunut?
[14:55] <saleem> how install real player
[14:55] <mbeierl> anyone know if ffmpeg can determine the type of its input file?  for example, given a data stream without an extension, how can I tell that it's mpeg2 not flv, or ...?
[14:55] <kb0odu> to install the kernel headers, you can use #apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -are`
[14:56] <jacquesdupontd> do you know if we can incorporate an mp3 player to the gnome panel ?
[14:56] <dpac> hii
[14:56] <dpac> need some help here
[14:56] <jacquesdupontd> i would like to incorporate audacious
[14:56] <kb0odu> ooops... should be uname -r
[14:56] <vox> mbeierl: type "file <filename>"
[14:56] <vox> mbeierl: that should tell you what it is
[14:56] <anarki2004> aha
[14:56] <abdel_> how do you unistall a program that you installed using wine
[14:56] <anarki2004> got it, thanks
[14:57] <prince_jammys> abdel_: type ''uninstaller'' in a terminal, and a window will pop up
[14:57] <johnmacward> Quick question: Is this a general support channel or chatty channel?
[14:57] <jrib> !ot | johnmacward
[14:58] <abdel> thanks
[14:58] <iceroot> johnmacward: support-channel
[14:58] <johnmacward> Thanks!
[14:58] <mbeierl> vox - kewel!  How does it do that?  Or more correctly - where is this list of magic numbers kept I wonder?
[14:58] <johnmacward> First time on IRC in my life!
[14:58] <vox> mbeierl: it's in the first few bytes of the file
[14:59] <vox> mbeierl: each filetype has its own code(usually)
[14:59] <dpac> I installed kernel 2.6.31 and for some reason it didn't work. It stop after loading USB Video drivers (wth is that? I don't have any device attached to usb). So I booted in 2.6.28 back again and removed the 2.6.31 version on which it gave error like "you may need to rerun boot loader grub". I fear I might not be able to boot into my computer once I restart. Help needed guys!
[14:59] <bdelin88> how do i zip the files inside of a folder but not the folder itself?
[14:59] <bdelin88> via command line
[15:00] <gotunandan> dpac: run $ sudo update-grub
[15:00] <dpac> gotunandan: that will fix?
[15:00] <bdelin88> anybody know?
[15:01] <kb0odu> bdelin88: actual zip?
[15:01] <kb0odu> or tar?
[15:01] <vanishing> zip *?
[15:01] <bdelin88> kb0odu: yes zip: zip -r foo.zip foo but i want it to zip the contents of a folder, but not the folder -> contents u see?
[15:02] <gotunandan> dpac: that will tell grub to update its menu.lst file in /boot/grub/menu.lst by detecting the kernel(s) present in /boot
[15:02] <MythBork> Hey all. I recently upgraded to 9.10 and now my external USB soundblaster isn't working. "Aplay -L' shows nothing.  Can anyone help?

[15:02] <bdelin88> MythBork: well u are using a beta....
[15:02] <dpac> gotunandan: thankyou. I hope that fixes the problem
[15:02] <bdelin88> kb0odu: hmm let me check

[15:02] <hiffy> hey peeps - I've created user foo that belongs in groups bar and baz. However, all the files foo creates are set to bar; how can I change it so that its group permissions are baz by default?
[15:03] <kb0odu> change his default group to baz.
[15:03] <kb0odu> or when he logs in he can change his group to baz
[15:03] <hiffy> kb0odu: how do I do that :)?
[15:03] <Guest32850> How do I see hidden files when I list files in terminal?
[15:03] <TCor> ls -a

[15:03] <vox> Guest32850: ls -la
[15:03] <Guest32850> ah, thanks:)
[15:03] <TCor> ls -a = list of files, ls -la = list of files with writting permissions and what not
[15:04] <bdelin88> kb0odu: well i looked at the man page first i don't understand how that would do it?  a - ASCII conversion -e Encrypt contents and -r is just Recursive?
[15:04] <vox> TCor: force of habit heh
[15:04] <kb0odu> hiffy: use the command newgrp.  place it in his bashrc or edit his group id in /etc/passwd
[15:04] <TCor> vox, my ls actually does ls -a lol ;)
[15:05] <bdelin88> kb0odu: i tried it anyways but it says "please use single character options
[15:05] <Guest32850> ls -a works:)
[15:05] <TCor> As it should

[15:11] <mbeierl> too late - his battery died
[15:11] <FoolsRun> Hi, I was here yesterday asking about what to check for rootkits and such in an Ubuntu server. My ISP called saying they'd gotten complaints from my static IP of "tcp scans". I malwarebytesd the Windows machines and removed what I found, but none of it was obviously the culprit. I ran chkrootkit and rkhunter on my Ubuntu server and found nothing. Is there something else I can try? Should I ignore my ISP until they report
[15:11] <FoolsRun> me again?
[15:12] <bubuntu> anyone knows where I can find this driver AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.8 ?
[15:12] <antric> how i can boot into recovery mode on 9.10 since grub2 automatically loads without giving a boot menu?
[15:12] <Guest32850> How do I make something sudo fronted (something like gsku?)
[15:12] <IdleOne> gksy
[15:12] <IdleOne> gksu
[15:12] <bazhang> antric, #ubuntu+1 for karmic
[15:12] <llutz> FoolsRun: when did you install chkrootkit/rkhunter, before or after expecting the machine as compromised? if after: you can't trust it
[15:12] <Guest32850> Right, that's it
[15:13] <vox> bubuntu: http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx seems to be the place
[15:13] <Guest32850> been a while...getting rusty
[15:13] <FoolsRun> llutz: after. I don't expect that the Ubuntu machine is compromized, but I do have ssh open so it's possible.
[15:13] <antric> bazhang: is there a key i can press at boot though? (like Esc on legacy) i cant boot to access the grub config, hence the need for recovery
[15:14] <jonnor> FoolsRun: log the traffic from the machine and look for suspicios traffic
[15:14] <Guest32850> If I run this in autostart, will it work?:
[15:14] <Guest32850> gksu macchanger -r wlan0 ; /usr/bin/start-network
[15:14] <jonnor> and ask your ISP for more detailed information
[15:14] <bazhang> antric, not sure ; karmic support in #ubuntu+1 (they will know)
[15:14] <FoolsRun> jonnor: log it at the firewall, you mean?
[15:14] <llutz> FoolsRun: scans for malware only make sense when being done from a known-as-clean media
[15:14] <vox> bubuntu: http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx seems to be the place
[15:14] <jonnor> FoolsRun: that would be the best
[15:14] <jonnor> FoolsRun: with an external firewall that is
[15:15] <jonnor> compromised machines cannot be trusted
[15:15] <CWinLx> when i do "adduser -home dir" I get prompt for user details like "home number, cell, name etc.."

[15:15] <jonnor> CWinLx: maybe you want useradd? :)
[15:15] <FoolsRun> jonnor: I have a linksys with logging on which I plan to flash to something more robust. I'll keep an eye on those.
[15:15] <CWinLx> ohh there's a different?
[15:15] <CWinLx> difference*
[15:15] <antric> or better yet, if anyone's familiar with lvm on top of dm-crypt so i can access my data long enough to copy it to a external drive
[15:15] <jonnor> CWinLx: yes, the latter is non interactive

[15:16] <apparle> how to make parallel port accessible without sudo
[15:17] <haggixu_> http://www.linux-tux-forum.de
[15:17] <jonnor> apparle: you need to have permissions on the device
[15:17] <janhaj> is any way to manual settins in "preload"? for example I only want preload firefox and amarok..?
[15:17] <apparle> jonnor: that's what I am lookin for
[15:17] <jonnor> so you can for instance make a parallel group and have udev make that own the device
[15:17] <apparle> janhaj: what do you mean preload
[15:17] <jonnor> and add your user to that group
[15:18] <vanishing> janhaj: i believe you can, but there is no GUI program that does it
[15:18] <llutz> apparle: adduser <youruser> lp
[15:18] <apparle> llutz: in my case 'adduser apparle lp' that's it?
[15:18] <jonnor> oh right, such a group might allready exit...
[15:18] <jonnor> +s
[15:18] <llutz> apparle: with sudo, yes
[15:18] <janhaj> preload - Adaptive readahead daemon (in ubuntu sudo apt-get install preload)

[15:23] <genshihebi> CWinLx, userdel
[15:23] <janhaj> do you know anyone, how can i preload (only) firefox and amarok?
[15:23]  * EmyDvX is away: Away
[15:23] <CWinLx> ohh there's 2 many
[15:23] <genshihebi> but iirc that also removes the user's /home/whatever
[15:23] <CWinLx> why don't they remove the non-useful ones
[15:23] <bazhang> !away > EmyDvX
[15:23] <rave> Dr_Willis so it will be updated automaticly by update manager right??
[15:23] <CWinLx> there's userdel and there's deluser
[15:23] <blackxored> hello, I have a device which seems to have no partition table, since it's displayed only as /dev/sdb, how can I create a partition table, and a vfat filesystem there? or it's the device doomed?
[15:23] <IdleOne> rave: correct
[15:23] <blackxored> it's a usb flash btw
[15:23] <CWinLx> so why do they keep both
[15:24] <fcuk112> i have a belkin switch2 usb kvm switch - any way to switch between machines using a key combo?
[15:24] <genshihebi> CWinLx, iunno with them, maybe it's for compatibility or just like vi and emacs being on some systems
[15:24] <alexis_> hola

[15:25] <blackxored> hello, I have a device which seems to have no partition table, since it's displayed only as /dev/sdb, how can I create a partition table, and a vfat filesystem there? or it's the device doomed? it display no medium found, but I can find it on lsusb, any clues?
[15:26] <genii> blackxored: gparted
[15:26] <blackxored> genii, doesn't sees the drive
[15:26] <bubuntu_> anyone knows where I can find this driver AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.8 ?
[15:27] <blackxored> palimpsest is the only which sees anything and sees Generic usb device and nothing else "no medium found"
[15:27] <blackxored> however my lsusb shows it
[15:27] <vanishing> bubuntu_:is that atheros wireless
[15:27] <lizzzy> Here's the install.log file, it would be great if someone could look into this: http://fpaste.org/Nhm0/ and figure out why I'm not getting it right :(
[15:27] <Gratz474> ubuntu really changes some apps around huh?
[15:28] <blackxored> genii, sudo lsusb | pastebinit -a blackxored
[15:28] <blackxored> http://pastebin.com/f1d3dec9d
[15:28] <vox> bubuntu_: i gave you the link twice already
[15:28] <genii> blackxored: You said "it's displayed only as /dev/sdb" ... where?
[15:28] <IdleOne> bubuntu: not to be sarcastic but it was very easy to http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx
[15:28] <genii> (lsusb wouldn't give you some dev name like that)
[15:28] <dro> my internal speakers continues to play music when I plug in headphones, is there a way to disable it?
[15:28] <blackxored> genii, on /dev/ filesystem
[15:28] <daevski> Anyone know what makes an application eligible to launch through Alt+F2 ?
[15:29] <blackxored> genii, no check my pastebin I was talking about /dev/sdb only and no /dev/sdb1 which used to be vfat filesystem
[15:29] <genshihebi> I need some quick grep help... say i have (foo)bar(baz) how do I use grep to get just bar?
[15:29] <vanishing> hey daevski
[15:29] <daevski> vanishing: hey :)
[15:29] <genshihebi> grep -e ")*.(" -o doesn't work
[15:29] <vanishing> daevski: i believe you are looking for where alt-f2 monitors?
[15:29] <daevski> vanishing: Yeah.
[15:29] <vanishing> daevski:well..put "" arround monitor
[15:29] <blackxored> genii, Is the Alcor Micro JetFlash one at 001:010
[15:30] <genii> blackxored: If you feel OK about commandline, use: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb        make a partition there, Use W when exiting, then do on it: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
[15:30] <vanishing> daevski: ugh.../usr/lib?
[15:30] <vanishing> daevski: or some folder thats related to bin
[15:30] <blackxored> genii, I tried that and yes I'm confortable about the shell, the issue is we're "Unable to open /dev/sdb"
[15:30] <vanishing> daevski:change /usr/lib to /usr/bin
[15:30] <vanishing> lol
[15:30] <Pici> daevski: anything within your $PATH
[15:31] <karmic> what does '!' do when used with other commands in shell ?
[15:31] <daevski> vanishing, pici: thanks
[15:31] <blackxored> genii, here's the connection log: tail /var/log/syslog | pastebinit -a blackxored
[15:31] <blackxored> http://pastebin.com/f3b7d9a2b
[15:31] <FoolsRun> If I ran rkhunter from a boot disk somehow, would that work?
[15:32] <vanishing> !ty daevski
[15:33] <vanishing> !tell ty to daevski
[15:33] <genii> blackxored: Looks like it's being detected as a CD
[15:33] <vanishing> dam...=.=
[15:33] <vanishing> lol
[15:33] <daevski> vanishing lol
[15:33] <phil_fl> karmic: it's called a bang
[15:33] <karmic> what does it do?
[15:33] <blackxored> genii, no it's not, that's usb scsi emulation
[15:33] <blackxored> check this part: new high speed USB device
[15:34] <phil_fl> karmic: in bash for instance it is used to recall commands
[15:34] <genii> blackxored: "sd 10:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0"     <- sg2 is SCSI   cdrom device, not hard drive
[15:34] <blackxored> genii, odd
[15:34] <blackxored> genii, so any clues?
[15:34] <C_Kode> Hi, I have the STAC92XX sound card.  If I open Sound preferences and select the sound card with OSS the test works, but nothing else in Ubuntu has any sound
[15:35] <blackxored> cause I think it's detected as usb since lsusb shows it
[15:35] <Zzeiss> What's the KVM gui tool?
[15:35] <zugu> hi
[15:35] <vanishing> finally got bot commands..
[15:35] <vanishing> lol
[15:35] <zugu> is launchpad broken?
[15:35] <piotrek> #ubuntu.pl
[15:35] <vanishing> !tell daevski about ty
[15:36] <daevski> pici: Do you know how I can create a *.sh or executable in there? (or maybe just a symbolic link would do the job?)
[15:36] <piotrek> ubuntu.pl
[15:36] <dro> my internal speakers continues to play music when I plug in headphones, is there a way to disable it
[15:36] <blackxored> genni, actually is usb: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   9 2009-10-22 10:26 pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:5:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sdb
[15:36] <phil_fl> karmic: in fact it works in most shells it came from csh, works with bash zsh ...
 wants you to know: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[15:36] <Pici> daevski: ~/bin is in your $PATH by default, so create that folder and either put your executable or a symlink to your executable in there.
[15:36] <vanishing> daevski:lol..forget the last part
[15:37] <daevski> pici: thank you :)
[15:37] <zugu> guys, am I the only one experiencing lanuchpad timeout errors?
[15:37] <zugu> the site is unusable for me at this time
[15:37] <genii> blackxored: Maybe update the usb id lists... if it's a newer device it may be mis-detecting. So: sudo update-usbids
[15:37] <Pici> zugu: Works for me.
[15:37] <XsCode> zugu: slow for me
[15:38] <blackxored> genii, i did that too :(, I'll do it again for your happiness ;)
[15:38] <zugu> here's what it says: Our edge server has a lower timeout threshold than launchpad.net, so we can catch those before they hit a wider audience. As a member of the Launchpad Beta Testers team, you're more likely to experience them. If this is blocking your work, you can disable redirection.
[15:38] <zugu> and there's a button to "disable redirection for 2 hours", but it solves nothing
[15:38] <Pici> zugu: Ask in #launchpad then.
[15:38] <zugu> thanks
[15:38] <blackxored> genii, this script is incremental? because I'm downloading something now ;)
[15:39] <IdleOne> zugu: very slow here also. actually not loading. probably doing upgrades or somesuch
[15:39] <blackxored> genii, displays the same and let me reconnect...
[15:40] <phil_fl> zugu, blackxored : Launchpad.net was experiencing slowdown due to upcoming Ubuntu release traffic; we've added servers to fix this.

[15:46] <cgs_bob> hello all.  I'm looking for a program that would allow me to extract data from a M$ Access ( *.mdb) file.  does such a program exists for Ubuntu?

[15:48] <genii> blackxored: "no medium found" - cd drive with no disc usually
[15:49] <blackxored> genii, so it's detecting it like a cd
[15:49] <Gratz474> can you do anything to make intel cards have better video rendering?
[15:49] <blackxored> genii, how I can force it to detect it like a hard disk drive?
[15:50] <dm__> saP
[15:50] <Serendippo> Is it safe to install Karmic Beta & upgrade from there? Or am I better of waiting to install Karmic final?
[15:50] <genii> blackxored: udev rule
[15:51] <blackxored> genii, wow enlighten me, since there was ages since I forced my flash to get mounted on a specific mountpoint
[15:51] <genii> blackxored: Work requires me, hang on a bit
[15:51] <Gratz474> intel cards i think got worse on linux
[15:52] <vanishing> Gratz474: talking about intel graphic card?
[15:52] <fcuk112> Serendippo: your 1st option is fine.
[15:52] <blackxored> genii, I'll wait maybe grab some udev rules writing manual, but this seems a little more complicated than what I've done before, so i wait for you?
[15:52] <Gratz474> vanishing: yes
[15:52] <vanishing> Gratz474: is so..yes...uxa is worse than exa in my case...
[15:52] <vanishing> Gratz474: oh..

[15:54] <dm__> vanishing whats the difference between the two?
[15:54] <Gratz474> vanishing: isn't there something better then exa as well people use?
[15:54] <James_T_Kirk> i am using a dell inspiron 1525 laptop
[15:54] <vanishing> Gratz474:im using integrated intel 945, and with the above setting, i can use compiz with high settings
[15:54] <grawity> CWinLx: Pipelines connect ls stdout to cat's stdin - and cat takes _data_, not file names, from stdin.
[15:54] <James_T_Kirk> it has two OS... Vista Home Edition and Ubuntu 9.04
[15:55] <vanishing> dm__:well..uxa is newer than exa, supposely better...but not with me..
[15:55] <grawity> CWinLx: You would use ls something | xargs cat, for this... though it's a quite useless one.
[15:55] <Gratz474> vanishing: yea that would just not work here
[15:55] <James_T_Kirk> should i re-install Ubuntu?
[15:55] <Gratz474> vanishing: this is an intel 865 it used to be a bit better
[15:55] <vanishing> Gratz474: yea..i was curious about that,,but uxa never worked for me..
[15:55] <vanishing> Gratz474: lol..my card is shitty...
[15:55] <CWinLx> grawity ohhh
[15:56] <flower> is it possible with a normal live-cd to do a minimal install, like with the minimal or alternate cd?
[15:56] <vanishing> flower: i believe so
[15:56] <Gratz474> vanishing: how can i see which one i am using?
[15:56] <flower> vanishing: any idea which option I have to choose?
[15:56] <James_T_Kirk> flower: i think i may have to download the ISO... can you guide me how that is to be done?
[15:57] <genii> blackxored: I've had to mess with udev rules only a couple times, so would just be doing what you were already thinking of doing (finding reference and using it)
[15:57] <vanishing> Gratz474:cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep -i uxa
[15:57] <grawity> CWinLx: Basically, with your example, "ls" just prints the word "createUsers.sh" to its stout. This is what "cat" receives, and this is what it prints.
[15:57] <flower> James_T_Kirk: downloading an iso?
[15:57] <vanishing> Gratz474: most likely you are using uxa...
[15:58] <James_T_Kirk> flower: i dont have the LiveCD with me, but i have a really fast connection, so downloading the ISO for the Ubuntu LiveCD wont take so long
[15:58] <vanishing> flower: im not really sure about that...but i remember i read about it in karmic development forum...
[15:58] <James_T_Kirk> is there a LiveCD torrent anywhere? HTTP is too slow...
[15:58] <Gratz474> vanishing: can i just use xaa? i think thats what gave me the best performance overall
[15:58] <genii> blackxored: The /etc/udev/rules.d/README has a couple pointers for rule numbering, and tells where some samples are to use for template
[15:59] <vanishing> Gratz474: hmm....you could........but the "mainstream" was exa, and now uxa...
[15:59] <Gratz474> vanishing: yea i know but i will use whatever is fastest at this time till i get my new computer in 2 weeks
[15:59] <pelmen> guys, anyone knows how to convert M$ xps to PDF or anything readable ?
[16:00] <vanishing> Gratz474; do some tests with glxgears with those option..choose the fastest.:)
[16:00] <blackxored> genii, I'm now in #udev, but don't forget about me ;)
[16:00] <leonardo_> is RC out?
[16:00] <eln1n0> hi i have ubuntu installed on 20gb hdd.. that hdd is full now,can i install programs,games and other apps from synaptic to external usb 100gb hdd and how?
[16:00] <Gratz474> vanishing: does that app allow me to switch or do i need to edit the config myself?
[16:01] <Gratz474> i mean something has got to give, very slow rendering
[16:01] <vanishing> Gratz474: you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:01] <Gratz474> not horribly slow but pretty slow
[16:02] <darkham> karmic rc?
[16:02] <flower> I heard it is not possible to install a minimal system with the live-cd...
[16:02] <eln1n0> is it possible to install apps from synaptic to other-(usb hdd) on ubuntu?
[16:02] <vanishing> Gratz474:i use this http://dpaste.com/110684/
[16:03] <vanishing> flower: really? i thought you could...o.o
[16:03] <nixio> buona sera a tutti
[16:03] <flower> I'm not 100% sure though...
[16:03] <flower> maybe someone here is?
[16:03] <LjL> flower: no, the live cd only installs its desktop environment. there is the minimal cd and the alternate that can do that
[16:03] <LjL> !it | nixio
[16:04] <flower> LjL: thanks
[16:04] <vanishing> Gratz474: oh..forgot to mention,,you have to downgrade to older intel drivers to use any method other than uxa
[16:04] <Gratz474> do i have to restart to get the new effects vanishing? i think so
[16:04] <Gratz474> blah
[16:04] <Gratz474> blah
[16:04] <FloodBot3> Gratz474: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:04] <Gratz474> hmmm << has never downgraded  a package in his life
[16:05] <vanishing> Gratz474: ill show you
[16:05] <vanishing> Gratz474: dont worry
[16:05] <eln1n0> floodboot: maybe you know answer to my question lol: is it possible to install apps from synaptic to other-(usb hdd) on ubuntu?
[16:05] <vanishing> Gratz474: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[16:06] <vanishing> Gratz474: brb in 1 sec
[16:06] <napzter> Hello guys... i have a question.. and that is......          is  i686 is 64 bit?
[16:06] <grawity> napzter: i686 is 32-bit.
[16:06] <eln1n0> wow
[16:06] <grawity> napzter: 64-bit would be amd64 (also called x64)
[16:06] <eln1n0> wiw i686 is 32bit wow
[16:07] <Gratz474> vanishing: newest
[16:07] <Gratz474> vanishing: just installed yesterday
[16:07] <napzter> I use the command " uname -a " in the terminal and the output is "Linux Panzer 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" is that ? 32 bit or 64?
[16:07] <eln1n0> floodboot: maybe you know answer to my question lol: is it possible to install apps from synaptic to other-(usb hdd) on ubuntu?
[16:07]  * grawity sighs.
[16:07] <eln1n0> :)
[16:08] <pipegeek> 32
[16:08] <vanishing> Gratz474: back
[16:08] <vanishing> Gratz474: i meant 32 or 64
[16:08] <LjL> eln1n0: as the nickname attempt to suggest, FloodBot (not FloodBoot, use the TAB key to complete nicknames) is just a robot.
[16:09] <grawity> I thought only ubottu can pass the Turing test...
[16:09] <eln1n0> boot-whatever: maybe you know answer to my question lol: is it possible to install apps from synaptic to other-(usb hdd) on ubuntu?
[16:09] <napzter> I use the command " uname -a " in the terminal and the output is "Linux Panzer 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" is that ? 32 bit or 64??
[16:09] <eln1n0> weee
[16:10] <llutz> 32
[16:10] <Gratz474> vanishing: 32
[16:10] <grawity> napzter: i686 is 32-bit, like it's been said several times.
[16:10] <vanishing> Gratz474:alrite
[16:10] <eln1n0> so ubuntu doesent support usb hdd...
[16:10] <napzter> thanks grawity
[16:10] <grawity> eln1n0: There's really no need to repeat your question every damn minute. And as LjL already said, FloodBot is a _program_
[16:10] <eln1n0> floodbot is best
[16:11] <grawity> eln1n0: You _can_ install programs to USB drives, but you would need to move existing ones too. (It isn't hard, but...)
[16:11] <LjL> eln1n0: if your /usr partition is on the external HD, then you can install applications on it. that's a terrible idea, however.
[16:11] <LjL> eln1n0: your answer is basically "no".
[16:11] <eln1n0> ok tnx
[16:11] <niladri> register <iitjee>
[16:12] <CWinLx> i'm trying to figure out "-stdin"
[16:12] <CWinLx> if I do, "echo $i”123″ | passwd –stdin “$i”
[16:12] <Bob_Dole2> I'm not anywhere near my main computer at the moment... but it's running Ubuntu 9.04. It had an ATI Radeon HD 3850 in it, but I recently changed to a GeForce 8600GT. It boots, and after trying to start the GUI, it locks up. I can't get to a virtual terminal. I booted into recovery mode, removed the ATI driver, installed the NVidia driver, and it still failed upon boot. I can use startx from the recovery console to
[16:12] <Bob_Dole2> get a GUI.
[16:12] <panfist> you're doing it wrong niladri...it's '/msg nickserv register iitjee' except don't use iitjee anymore
[16:12] <LjL> niladri: 1) choose another password 2) next time do it in the status window 3) it's /msg nickserv register, and without any <>
[16:12] <grawity> niladri: 4) you need to specify the email too
[16:12] <vanishing> Gratz474: hold on
[16:13] <niladri> thanx grawity
[16:13] <johnmn3> question...
[16:13] <nikko1> need some help with sound problem plezz been bugging me for ages now..
[16:13] <grawity> CWinLx: 'passwd' does not seem to have a --stdin option here. Second, I cannot figure your last example _at all_
[16:13] <vanishing> Gratz474: alrite..download those debs:http://dpaste.com/110689/
[16:13] <panfist> i needed some help with ssl certificates...how can i add a self signed certificate as trusted, and how can i test that it added successfully?
[16:13] <grawity> CWinLx: And third, it's got the quote characters all messed up. It must be ", and NOT “ or ” or ″
[16:13] <phisher1> yah, passwd on ubuntu doesn't appear to have --stdin
[16:14] <vanishing> Gratz474: to a blank folder,,cd to that folder, sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[16:14] <nikko1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting dosent work.... what to do
[16:14] <dro> how do you determine which module has been loaded for your sound card?
[16:14] <grawity> panfist: On Firefox? Other programs?
[16:14] <vanishing> Gratz474: These files are from official website
[16:14] <panfist> grawity i would like to add it so that rtorrent will let me use a secure connection
[16:15] <panfist> i followed this how-to, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=41721, and everything seemed to work but it's still bugging me
[16:15] <johnmn3> The only disc I have here is 8.10.  Downloading from this satellite dish is roughly 1KB/S.  However, if I use multi-threaded / multi-sourced downloading, I can get up to 20, 25 KB/S.  What's the best way to upgrade?
[16:15] <panfist> rtorrent is bugging me, that the cert isnt trusted
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> panfist:  use firefox and add en excetion for the cert.
[16:16] <grawity> Dr_Willis: You do realize that adding it to Firefox won't affect rtorrent _at all_?
[16:16] <kanuha> I want to try ubuntu on my home theater pc, but the resolution is too high. My TV does not like the default resolution of the live CD. How can I tell it (ubuntu) to use another resolution?
[16:17] <leonard> Hi, I installed Karmic on my machine and it boots directly into text mode, it doesn't even start NetworkManager or X11.
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  his question is a little vague. last ive seen the phrase 'cert not trusted' was when a http server was using a self signed cert. and you had to tell firefox it was ok to trust the site.
[16:17] <panfist> i'm trying this now http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxCertManagement
[16:17] <grawity> Dr_Willis: <panfist> rtorrent is bugging me, that the cert isnt trusted
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  inless i totally missunderstood what hes doing.
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  or does he maen the web interface hes using to controll   rtorrent is giving that error.
[16:18] <grawity> Dr_Willis: rtorrent, like all other BitTorrent clients, uses HTTP to communicate with the tracker.
[16:18] <leonard> service dbus start reports being unable to start the job, but I can't find anything in dmesg.
[16:18] <panfist> it's no problem in firefox or chrome because if they come across an untrusted cert they ask if you wnt to make an exception. rtorrent does not ask you, it just won't trust the cert
[16:18] <grawity> Dr_Willis: And I guess panfist is using a tracker that uses HTTP+SSL.
[16:18] <panfist> i am not using a web interface
[16:18] <panfist> that is correct grawity
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  i missed that  part. :)
[16:19] <syrius> why am I being forced a partial upgrade?
[16:19] <grawity> Dr_Willis: Remember that SSL isn't limited to webbrowsers - or even HTTP for that matter. It may very well be used for mail, VPNs...
[16:20] <leonard> any idea on how to debug that problem?
[16:20] <Halabund> Hi!  Flash video in fullscreen is unusably choppy.  My machine isn't exactly fast by today's standards, but on Windows this works flawlessly.  Is there anything I can do to make it work on Ubuntu (9.04) as well?
[16:20] <Halabund> (e.g. YouTube video)
[16:20] <panfist> Halabund you're encountering linux's achille's heel
[16:20] <syrius> why am I being forced a partial upgrade?
[16:20] <panfist> syrius can you elaborate
[16:21] <blackxored> panfist, hehehe +1
[16:21] <kanuha> I want to try ubuntu on my home theater pc, but the resolution is too high. My TV does not like the default resolution of the live CD. How can I tell it (ubuntu) to use another resolution?
[16:21] <darkham>  karmic rc?
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> encountering why flash should be dumped.  in faver of FOSS solutions.
[16:21] <syrius> I keep on getting a popup for partial upgrade panfist
[16:21] <Halabund> panfist: Do you mean that there's nothing I can do about it ... ? :(  I tried turning off desktop effects, but that didn't help.  I've an integrated Intel graphics accelerator (GMA900)
[16:22] <crohakon|zZz> kanuha; fully install it and find the right video drivers...
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> Halabund:  you could try the updated unofficial intel drivers
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> !intel | Halabund
[16:22] <panfist> i think there may be nothing you can do about it. are you using 32 or 64 bit? it's even worse in 64 bit. you can try to use another flash player plugin, but it might not work anyway
[16:22] <Halabund> Dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll try that
[16:23] <wcGary83> Hi everyone! I have sort of an emergency, No monitor on a brand new laptop!  64 bit beta, it says no parent found for device!  It worked fine when I first ran the install cd!
[16:23] <panfist> Halabund http://xkcd.com/619/
[16:23] <crohakon|zZz> wcGary83; reinstall? What kind of laptop
[16:23] <wcGary83> brand spanking new Hp g60t
[16:23] <panfist> for beta support go to #ubuntu+1
[16:24] <Baba_B00ie> i'm running ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. i just enabled my external monitor it didn't work, rebooted and now x11 is very laggy. how do i fix this ?
[16:24] <wcGary83> I shut down after install and the screen blinked and went wild in a loop...
[16:24] <kanuha> crohakon|zZz, tried it before without installing but forgot how. I use Ubuntu 9.10 beta on my laptop without problems
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> wcGary83:  you mean to say 'no display output'? do you get a grub menu?
[16:24] <wcGary83> sure...
[16:25] <wcGary83> I forced shutdown, now it doesn't even work on the live cd!
[16:25] <Baba_B00ie> how do i reconfigure xorg display ?
[16:25] <wcGary83> I do get the original menu though
[16:25] <nikko1> i got sound problems.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting does not work.. what to do?
[16:25] <zugu> when will the release candidate be released?
[16:25] <Dr_Willis> wcGary83:  nothing on the hard drive should affect the live cd.
[16:25] <genshihebi> Baba_B00ie, dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[16:25] <wcGary83> as soon as it starts to load the kernel... that's all she wrote!
[16:25] <Dr_Willis> zugu:  when its ready. :) some time today perhaps..
[16:26] <zugu> Dr_Willis: ready as in "bug free"?
[16:26] <wcGary83> it says "no parent found for device" and something about bus 6, then no output...
[16:26] <prince_jammys> bug free-ish
[16:26] <zugu> so they release it with bugs in it?
[16:26] <Baba_B00ie> genshihebi, i dropped to cli and run that as sudo but nothing happened
[16:27] <wcGary83> is there a way I can try updating the computer?
[16:27] <zugu> no wonder there are so many problems
[16:27] <prince_jammys> there's always bugs
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> zugu:   if it was RC it would be done. not an RC :)
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> oops if it was bug free.. :)
[16:27] <genshihebi> Baba_B00ie, you have to restart X. if using gnome/xfce, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> zugu:  what do you really expect?  instantly to be bug free?
[16:27] <darkham>  karmic rc?
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> in theory RC should be very close to the final release
[16:28] <zugu> Dr_Willis: I expect the developers to release when they believe the software is bug free; of course people will find new bugs after the release
[16:28] <vanishing> bug free is never gonna happen
[16:28] <wcGary83> Dr_Willis: why would the live cd run fine the first time but not now? do you think there is physical damage?
[16:28] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: you could always run sudo apt-get remove --purge bugs and have a bug free OS :)
[16:28] <zugu> vanishing: I know that, but look at Debian; they release after they iron all the bugs they can find
[16:29] <genshihebi> IdleOne, lol
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> wcGary83:  could be. but i cant imagine what. check for fingerprints on  cd perhaps? test other live cd's  try putting the cd on a usb flash drive via unetbootin.
[16:29] <vanishing> zugu: their rcs?
[16:29] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: oh wait, never mind, I was in Neverland for a minute
[16:29] <flower> how to do a minimal ubuntu install and keep pulseaudio outside the box for ever?
[16:29] <zugu> vanishing: it seems Ubuntu is more about releasing on time than releasing relatively bug free
[16:29] <kam> why am i regularly disconnected and reconnected here at ubuntu channel?
[16:29] <leonard> Does anybody in here have the same DBUS problem with Karmic?
[16:30] <thecarlhall> I have packages that show up as "pi <packagename>..." in dpkg.
[16:30] <vanishing> zugu:hmmmm..6 month seems a lil short
[16:30] <thecarlhall> How can I make them "ii <packagename>..."?
[16:30] <the_madman> zugu: I prefer to think that Ubuntu is about fixing/removing as many bugs as possible on time (or should be), even if it means leaving features out for later.
[16:30] <leonard> Please, I could need fast help.
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> zugu:  its a cant win situation...  on time, or late. bugs or no bugs.. no matter what you do.. people get mad.
[16:30] <kam> :(
[16:30] <the_madman> zugu: At least, that's what Gnome is all about.
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> you could always stick to the LTS releases i guess
[16:31] <the_madman> Aye.
[16:31] <panfist> the latest ubuntu LTS sucked
[16:31] <zugu> Dr_Willis: this is what happens when there's no clear line between the OS and the applications
[16:31] <zugu> Dr_Willis: a base OS is easier to maintain
[16:31] <panfist> if you want LTS i suggest you go one version back from the latest LTS
[16:31] <IdleOne> zugu: name one OS that is bug free?
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  CP/M ! :)
[16:31] <panfist> os/2
[16:31] <zugu> IdleOne: there is none
[16:32] <panfist> :)
[16:32] <IdleOne> CP/M ???
[16:32] <IdleOne> I need to google now
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> we should all go to #CPM-offtopic :)
[16:32] <IdleOne> os/2 has it's bugs
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  old OS for the Z80 cpu - predates dos.
[16:32] <grawity> Dr_Willis: Z80 and 8086
[16:32] <the_madman> I dunno... I've always found my calculator to be pretty bug-free...
[16:32] <zugu> and how come it's bug-free? :)) Z80 still is a great CPU
[16:32] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: ok I should of said a OS that still has living devs :P
[16:32] <mamooli> does anyonne knows a god gui for mysql on ubuntu?
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  the 8086 was a hack :)
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  it will never take off.
[16:33] <amites> Is there any way to get a tree view in the left column in nautilus?
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  Minix :P
[16:33] <the_madman> mamooli: OpenOffice.org Base is capable of editing MySQL databases.
[16:33] <IdleOne> anywho back to Ubuntu support
[16:33] <grawity> amites: Click the sidebar's header (the thing that says "Places"), choose Tree.
[16:33] <amites> mamooli: Navicat is excellent
[16:34] <jt76> dose anyone know if there is an app to VPN into a network in ubuntu?
[16:34] <mamooli> amites: thank you i am going through it
[16:34] <amites> grawity: Thank you
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> !vpn
[16:34] <wcGary83> how do I get into the grub menu on startup?
[16:34] <LanKates> Hi.  Fairly new linux user, I've a toshiba laptop, L25 Satellite.  I recently put 9.10 on there and it was fine until a recent update.  Now it'll boot to the login screen, but no matter which mode I choose, once I log in, it is just a black screen with my mouse cursor. Apart from uninstall/reinstall, any other things I should look for?
[16:34] <the_madman> Dr_Willis: I suppose you get that question often, then?
[16:34] <IdleOne> wcGary83: soon as you see grub hit the ESC key
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> the_madman:  we get 100's of questions often. :)
[16:35] <campassi> any set date for the RC ?
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> today.. when its done
[16:36] <the_madman> LanKates: Well, since this is mainly the point of beta/RC releases, it would be nice if you filed a bug at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> thats the count of 'whens the rc?' askers up to like 20 now.. :)
[16:36] <mamooli> amites: is navicat free?
[16:36] <campassi> haha, sorry about that
[16:36] <the_madman> LanKates: Then you could, strictly speaking, go to TTY1 (Ctrl+alt+F1) and muck about with stuff there, though only if you know what you're doing.
[16:36] <campassi> empathy was a bit buggy in the beta
[16:36] <LanKates> ok, I can do that.  Like I said, I'm new to Linux, heh.
[16:37] <splashote> hey, got a problem with beagle:
[16:37] <the_madman> LanKates: Stable releases tend to play much nicer and cause fewer problems, so I'd go with those if you're new. :)
[16:37] <splashote> Error: Something terrible happened --- Flush failed
[16:37] <LanKates> the_madman that's why I put it on my laptop, I'm learning linux with that laptop. heh.  I went to 9.10 because anything I found online for 9.04 wouldn't fix an issue I was having with audio/video.  It'd play 4 or 5 seconds of a video, then the audio would echo horribly and the video would freeze.
[16:37] <Gratz474> vanishing: but what about the files already installed?
[16:37] <LanKates> when I put 9.10 on there, that problem went away
[16:38] <wcGary83> does anybody know a way I can reset my fstab file?
[16:38] <nikko1> can any1 help me with sound problems? i have tried;  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[16:38] <the_madman> LanKates: Aah, I see.
[16:38] <splashote> is there a debug mode to find out why urban terror keeps crashing
[16:39] <flower> how check MD5 of a iso?
[16:39] <wcGary83> what happens if you delete the fstab?
[16:39] <vanishing> Gratz474: what files?
[16:39] <MenZa> !md5 | flower
[16:39] <Gratz474> vanishing: the debs, dont i already have newer versions how will they install?
[16:40] <cytotoxic> !ops
[16:40] <cytotoxic> ubuntu sucks
[16:40] <vanishing> Gratz474: oh..just cd to the folder where you keep the debs(only the ones i mentioned should be in the folder), and then sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[16:40] <Gratz474> vanishing: will that remove the stuff already there, and are these files safe?
[16:40] <Baba_B00ie> how do i find out if i'm using xorg, btw i'm running ubuntu 904
[16:40] <Guest91355> does anyone know how to hide the desktop folders on crunchbang when using the gnome desktop
[16:41] <flower> mm vbox doesn't grab the mini-iso ... no bootable device found
[16:41] <vanishing> Gratz474: they will replace the already installed files, and the debs i gave you are from ubuntu lauchpad,,so safe
[16:41] <vanishing> Gratz474:if you dont like them, you can simple update them in synaptic
[16:42] <vanishing> brb
[16:42] <flower> ah ok fix
[16:42] <danielito> hi there. I upgraded from 7.0 to 8.04
[16:42] <MenZa> Guest91355: Crunchbang isn't supported here. But yes, you can do it in gconf-editor.

[16:44] <ltspadmin> hi
[16:44] <coz_> Guest91355,   let me check

[16:51] <MenZa> cdavis: no ideas as to the fix, but try running it from a terminal and troubleshoot the issue, and possibly report a bug if required.
[16:51] <Gratz474> vanishing: well its installing the stuff
[16:52] <_akahige_> I've got a partitioning problem and limited ways of fixing it. /usr is its own mount point and full. I've got more than enough space on /home to recreate it, but the problem is that I don't have a working CD on this machine, so I can't do it from a Live CD. can this be done from the running system?
[16:52] <dro> mamooli: sent you a pm
[16:52] <Gratz474> looks like alot of dev packages

[16:55] <Gratz474> vanishing: just a new install yesterday
[16:55] <vanishing> Gratz474:hehe..did it finish?
[16:56] <vanishing> ChrisiPK: you have to make the binary executable first
[16:56] <ChrisiPK> i did
[16:56] <ChrisiPK> if i remove the executable flag, it says "permission denied"
[16:56] <Gratz474> vanishing: http://pastebin.ca/1637499
[16:56] <ChrisiPK> see the dir output i pasted
[16:57] <grawity> ChrisiPK: What does 'file main_x86', 'ldd main_x86' show?
[16:57] <vanishing> Gratz474: hold on..let me check the dependency
[16:57] <twiinz> all the mirror i used are dead, i basically cant do apt-get update, what's my option, do know where to get a new list of mirrors
[16:58] <vanishing> Gratz474:ahhh crap....i assumed you are using karmic..
[16:58] <MenZa> !karmic | vanishing
[16:58] <ChrisiPK> grawity, refresh the paste and view the reply
[16:58] <vanishing> Gratz474: are you using jaunty?
[16:59] <vanishing> MenZa:?o.o
[16:59] <dajhorn> twiinz: System -> Administration -> Software Sources, and choose your country in the pulldown menu of the first tab.
[16:59] <MenZa> vanishing: If you assume someone uses Karmic, #ubuntu+1 is where you want to send them off to :)
[16:59] <twiinz> im on ubuntu server dajhorn
[17:00] <jonaskoe1ker> Hi all.  My laptop won't run faster than 800 MHz when not on AC, yet it'll run 2133 MHz when *on* AC.  How do I make it run faster off-AC?
[17:00] <vanishing> MenZa:no..i thought he is using karmic,,,and gave him a karmic deb.
[17:00] <dajhorn> twiinz: The edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file.  Use archive.ubuntu.com until your system is fixed.
[17:00] <vanishing> MenZa: o wait..
[17:00] <danielito> hi there. I don't have an internet connection, but dpkg wants to download a file, which does not work (obviously). where should I copy the file that dpkg finds it?
[17:00] <danielito> I downloaded it and put it on a usb disc
[17:00] <vanishing> MenZa: nvm..he is using karmic...lol
[17:00] <wad> A year ago I installed a driver for my laptop's ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 3650. I got compiz all happy, everything was just peachy. But just now I pulled down a big Ubuntu update, and now my video driver isn't happy anymore. I think I probably need to dump the video driver I put in, and get a new version. Problem: I don't remember how I installed it, and I don't know how to cleanly uninstall it. Help?
[17:00] <MenZa> danielito: dpkg -i filename.deb will install the file from the current directory.
[17:01] <jonaskoelker>   Question: how do I configure cpu frequency scaling?
[17:01] <vanishing> Gratz474: can you try to update your system? your debs seems a lil old
[17:01] <IdleOne> !ati | wad
[17:01] <wad> Thanks!
[17:01] <icarus-c> what will be the mesa & xorg server version shipped with karmic?
[17:02] <Gratz474> vanishing: i just did, like today :) i am using 9.04
[17:02] <spasticteapot> My M-Audio USB soundcard has stopped working - LSUSB only shows it as a "Texas Instruments device".
[17:02] <spasticteapot> Any tips?
[17:02] <danielito> MenZa: unfortunately it's not that easy. the package is b43-fwcutter which itself wants to download a firmware
[17:02] <vanishing> Gratz474:=.=..so not karmic...
[17:02] <Guest15392> hello
[17:03] <Gratz474> vanishing: huh?
[17:03] <vanishing> Gratz474: well anyways..try this..http://dpaste.com/110709/
[17:03] <Gratz474> did i get an older version?
[17:03] <ChrisiPK> grawity, so what do i do now?
[17:03] <vanishing> Gratz474: download those and put them in the same folder as the debs i gave you before.
[17:03] <Guest15392> I am new to Ubuntu, I have two questions right now :) could anyone help me out, please?
[17:03] <vanishing> Gratz474: and try to install
[17:03] <ZykoticK9> jonaskoelker, check out gfreqlet - it's a Gnome Frequency changer
[17:04] <jonaskoelker> ZykoticK9: I'm using the cpu frequency monitor gnome panel applet; setting the frequency to 2133 MHz through it doesn't do anything (i.e. freq stays at 800 MHz)
[17:04] <Take0n> Guest15392, just ask and someone will sure answer
[17:04] <vanishing> Gratz474: tell me if it works.
[17:04] <jonaskoelker> ZykoticK9: does gfreqlet do something different from the panel applet?
[17:04] <Gratz474> vanishing: is there a newer version then 9.04?
[17:04] <vanishing> !question Guest15392
[17:05] <jonaskoelker> ZykoticK9: also, apt-cache search gfreqlet comes up empty
[17:05] <vanishing> dam..
[17:05] <grawity> Gratz474: 9.10 will be released in a week or so.
[17:05] <dro> I was trying to disable my internal pc speaker, sudo modprobe -r pcspkr and it killed all audio
[17:05] <vanishing> Gratz474: yea, today is 9.10's rc
[17:05] <ZykoticK9> jonaskoelker, it is a panel applet - it just lets you change it (are you on 9.04?)
[17:05] <Gratz474> oh
[17:05] <jonaskoelker> ZykoticK9: yeah, 9.04
[17:05] <Gratz474> should i get that?
[17:05] <vanishing> Gratz474: well...its really nice..
[17:05] <Gratz474> vanishing: looks like that did it
[17:05] <Gratz474> what is changed?
[17:05] <ZykoticK9> jonaskoelker, "apt-cache search gfreqlet"? doesn't show anything?
[17:06] <vanishing> Gratz474: ugh..some dependencies..that is needed
[17:06] <jonaskoelker> ZykoticK9: correct
[17:06] <spasticteapot> Would switching to JACK fix my audio problems?
[17:06] <vanishing> Gratz474: since you just installed your system yesterday,,,i might as well recommend 9.10 to you
[17:06] <Gratz474> vanishing: how is 9.10 different then 9.04?
[17:07] <ZykoticK9> jonaskoelker, sorry man don't know what to say... it's there on my 9.04 and it's from Ubuntu - not other repo
[17:07] <vanishing> Gratz474: new stuff of course..:)
[17:07] <jonaskoelker> ZykoticK9: also, if I echo 2133000 >! scaling_max_freq (somewher in /sys) and cat it back, I get 800000
[17:07] <jonaskoelker> ZykoticK9: I'll apt-get update and try again...
[17:07] <ZykoticK9> jonaskoelker, amd or intel?
[17:07] <Gratz474> vanishing: i mean any big changes to the gnome desktop itself?
[17:07] <nikko1> can eny1 help me with sound problems?
[17:08] <Guest15392> Thank you Takeon. My first question: I have enabled Vsync in Ubuntu via Compiz, without it, the tearing was just too much. It's okay now, for the desktop, but I still have minimal tearing in videos - especially on a 26" fullhd. I have also enabled it in the nvidia-settings for both, opengl and video, those settings don't do anything at all. So, how can I enable full vsync for videos? My second question: I am using karmic beta right now, couldn't wait. C
[17:08] <vanishing> Gratz474: let me find you some info
[17:08] <Gratz474> will i be able tp upgrade easily?

[17:08] <vanishing> Gratz474:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/TechnicalOverview

[17:12] <ajaibeh> thank you Dr_Willis
[17:12] <vanishing> Gratz474: should be..
[17:12] <Pranav> Is there some "netscan" alternative in ubuntu, plz I want it  ?
[17:13] <Gratz474> or will all the video stuff i did get overwritten?
[17:13] <grawity> Pranav: nmap
[17:13] <Gratz474> and can i go from the RC to the main version when it comes out vanishing?
[17:13] <jode> What is so special about Ubuntu 9.10?
[17:13] <grawity> jode: Dunno, it's new?
[17:13] <vanishing> Gratz474: ugh... i honest dont know that..but once you are in karmic, the dependencies should be ok,,and you can do the video driver tweak pretty easity..
[17:14] <Gratz474> new gnome
[17:14] <Gratz474> yea
[17:14] <Gratz474> ok well i am going to restart just to see if this worked heheh
[17:14] <vanishing> Gratz474: yes, you can get to the main version if you keep daily upgrades
[17:14] <Johnny1> kvizko
[17:14] <vanishing> Gratz474: good luck!
[17:14] <spasticteapot> My soundcard - an M-Audio Audiophile USB- is not being recognized by my computer. Instead, it just shows up as "Texas Instruments".
[17:14] <jode> grawity: I am thinking about hosting a Ubuntu 9.10 release party!
[17:14] <Gratz474> how can i tell if i am running xaa or not?
[17:14] <Gratz474> once i reboot?
[17:15] <vanishing> Gratz474:cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep -i xaa?
[17:15] <alpha20> I have installed kde in ubuntu but cannot access internet in kde session somebody help please
[17:15] <sdwrage> Hey guys
[17:16] <sdwrage> is there a way to add an sh script so that I can do nameofscript.sh anywhere in linux and it would call it?
[17:16] <sdwrage> would i have to add it to the path?
[17:16] <Gratz474> vanishing: well i need to restart first i guess
[17:16] <Gratz474> brb
[17:16] <grawity> sdwrage: Add the directory to $PATH, yes.
[17:16] <alpha20> I have installed kde in ubuntu but cannot access internet in kde session somebody help please
[17:16] <vanishing> Gratz474: alrite..good luck
[17:17] <sdwrage> grawity, how do I do that exactly? :|
[17:17] <danielito> which key do I have to press to see the boot messages?
[17:17] <sdwrage> and would it be available right after I add it?
[17:17] <vanishing> danielite: boot messages?
[17:17] <grawity> sdwrage: Usually, people create ~/bin/ and put their scripts in it, and edit ~/.bashrc to have something like this: export PATH=~/bin:"$PATH"
[17:17] <ZykoticK9> sdwrage, or copy your script to something already in your path ie. /usr/local/bin
[17:17] <danielito> vanishing: well. not that spash screen but the drivers and modules being loaded and so on
[17:17] <grawity> sdwrage: For system-wide scripts, /usr/local/bin is common.
[17:18] <sdwrage> I have a dev/zf194/bin/zf.sh
[17:18] <vanishing> danielite: in grub , highlight the boot choice, press e, take out the words "quiet" and "splash"
[17:18] <vanishing> danielite: then proceed to boot
[17:18] <ChrisiPK> ZykoticK9, thanks very much, that did the trick!
[17:18] <sdwrage> so I would do export PATH=~/dev/zf194/bi/zf.sh:"$PATH"
[17:18] <sdwrage>  correct?
[17:18] <ZykoticK9> ChrisiPK, good to hear :)
[17:19] <trism> sdwrage: you'd want to add the directory, not the file
[17:19] <sdwrage> oh I see :)
[17:19] <sdwrage> thx
[17:19] <ZykoticK9> ChrisiPK, ia32-libs adds support for 32bit binaries to 64bit system -- you might eventually need "getlibs" for 32bit libraries
[17:19] <Pranav> grawity, is there some GUI based on nmap ?
[17:20] <grawity> Pranav: zenmap
[17:20] <Pranav> grawity, thanks again
[17:20] <ChrisiPK> ZykoticK9, thanks, will keep that in mind when new problems arise
[17:20] <ChrisiPK> for now it works :)
[17:20] <jonaskoelker>   Queston:  What's setting my cpu speed to 800 MHz on 9.04 (jaunty)?
[17:21] <jonaskoelker> I ran /etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop
[17:21] <jonaskoelker> ... so it's probably not laptop-mode tools
[17:21] <Gratz474> vanishing: lol ok this is not good
[17:21] <jonaskoelker> hal, maybe?
[17:21] <jonaskoelker> ... it seems to be the source of many problems
[17:21] <x-z3r0> hi
[17:21] <x-z3r0> hi
[17:21] <Gratz474> screen is like 15 pixels to far left and looks a bit stretched
[17:21] <Gratz474> and even more laggy then it was, maybe its not running in xaa?
[17:21] <sdwrage> trism, would it stay after reboot?
[17:21] <Gratz474> hmm
[17:22] <darkphader> Errors were encountered while processing: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-server
[17:22] <darkphader> trying to remove old kernels
[17:22] <trism> sdwrage: if you add it to ~/.bashrc like grawity suggested
[17:22] <sdwrage> k cool
[17:22] <Gratz474> vanishing: ubuntu has not detected my monitor either
[17:22] <Gratz474> vanishing: should i remove the use xaa line ?
[17:23] <vanishing> Gratz474: you should use exa
[17:23] <vanishing> Gratz474:lol..as i told you before
[17:23] <vanishing> Gratz474: in fact only exa worked good for me
[17:23] <Gratz474> kk another restart
[17:23] <jonaskoelker> no one knows? :(
[17:24] <tcoenraad> does anybody know a function in scribus so it lines out with the rest of the text fields?
[17:24] <IdleOne> jonaskoelker: nobody knows at the momment. try searching the ubuntu forums in the mean time
[17:26] <gumpish> Is there any reason a network application (in this case Firefox) would ignore the hosts file and hit DNS even when the hostname in question is in the hosts file?
[17:26] <jonaskoelker> gumpish: it's written to do so?
[17:26] <grawity> gumpish: IIRC, it has its own internal DNS cache.
[17:27] <gumpish> sonofa
[17:27] <grawity> jonaskoelker: No, it uses the usual gethostbyname()
[17:28] <will_1> I have a question regarding Ubuntu Netbook Remix and programming with QT. I have a program developed in QT that works well in windows environment but is all distorted when I run it on my netbook (desired application environment).
[17:28] <Gratz474> vanishing: lol this is not so good, i removed that line and restarted so its just a stock xorg and yea stil all messed up
[17:28] <Gratz474> can't detect my monitor or nothing as well
[17:28] <the_madman> will_1: How is it distorted?
[17:29] <will_1> Err the program was developed using the QT toolkit
[17:29] <vanishing> Gratz474: dpaste.com your xorg.conf file?
[17:29] <aman> hi all
[17:29] <vanishing> Gratz474: let me see
[17:29] <will_1> well for one none of the buttons are displayed. The labels overlap the textboxes
[17:29] <will_1> The program looks normal in the windows env
[17:29] <IpSe_DiXiT> gnomebaker gives this output "input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)" when trying to burn a regular data cd with some pics and vids on it, anyone's aware about this and can give help? thanks
[17:29] <hawke_> Wow, there certainly is an unhealthy backlog of ideas awaiting moderation on brainstorm
[17:30] <aman> oi
[17:30] <will_1> I am wondering if the nbr display settings are conflicting with QT toolkit
[17:31] <bastid_raZor> jonaskoelker: in a terminal what does cpufreq-info give you? can you pastebin it

[17:32] <briwood> Does anyone know how to disable "VLAN Priority Support" on the WLAN adapter.  I'm on a Thinkpad x60 running 8.04.  Don't see an option in ifconfig...
[17:32] <Gratz474> vanishing: http://blog.nixternal.com/2007.12.30/intel-945-video-hint/ this is what i was talking about this made my stuff run so much faster from exa now i guess you say i am running something evne newer then exa
[17:33] <Gratz474> vanishing: i feel like just popping a geforce 2 in and seeing what happens :)
[17:33] <Cyr4x> http://www.wklej.org/id/182041/
[17:33] <Cyr4x> any solution for this?
[17:33] <Cyr4x> nvidia card, drivers v185
[17:34] <trism> inzolo: I don't know how to disable it, but you can change it to a different key in System/Preferences/Windows
[17:34] <inzolo> trism: thanks
[17:34] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: no such command...
[17:34] <Gratz474> vanishing: maybe the version of stuff that was installed does not support that kind of xorg?
[17:34] <ZykoticK9> Cyr4x, try reinstall nvidia driver (they aren't currently working)
[17:34] <Cyr4x> tried already
[17:35] <vanishing> Gratz474: it should be like this:http://dpaste.com/110725/
[17:35] <Cyr4x> doesn't help
[17:35] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: please wait a few minutes while I'm tab-completing "apt-get install cpufrequt<tab>"
[17:35] <Cyr4x> in 9.04 was ok
[17:35] <vanishing> Gratz474: you need the greedy line
[17:35] <Cyr4x> after dist-upgrade to 9.10 isn't
[17:35] <vanishing> Gratz474: try this config

[17:36] <Gratz474> let me try vanishing
[17:36] <CupofDice> posted this in #kubuntu, but i need information fast. Thanks to all who help! I am switching back to kubuntu 9.04 after 2 years of using windows. I've been out of the loop, so I have a few questions. 1. I have 3 gig of ram, what should my swap be? 2. What should my root be (I have 400gb HD)? 3. Ext3 or ext4?
[17:36] <will_1> I am having a problem with developing a Qt application on a Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 machine. The Qt application looks fine in other env, but does not display all widgets and certain widgets are overlapped and out of place when rebuilt and ran on NBR machine.
[17:37] <keeper> блин куда я попал?
[17:37] <will_1> Is there a conflict with ubuntu NBR 9.04 and Qt-4?
[17:37] <keeper> тут есть русско говорящие?
[17:38] <grawity> keeper: Welcome to IRC. This is the #ubuntu channel on Freenode.

[17:38] <bastid_raZor> jonaskoelker: cpufrequtils is the package in need. it seems you found it.. it shows your cpu is set to be ondemand which means it will run at the slowest speed until more power/speed is needed. set it to performance if you ant 2.13GHz at all times. cpufreq-set performance
[17:38] <trism> !swap | CupofDice
[17:38] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: mysteriously, nothing seems to override my choices now I have cpufrequtils installed...
[17:38] <bastid_raZor> jonaskoelker: wait.. i gave you the wrong syntax.
[17:38] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: I got it
[17:38] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: --governor
[17:39] <CupofDice> ignore my question all, sorry if you already answered!
[17:39] <Gratz474> vanishing: worked feels alot alot faster, but how can i see and make sure its running exa? and not the old stuff?
[17:39] <bastid_raZor> jonaskoelker: yes, --governor is what you wanted. once you set it to performance .. cpufreq-info should tell you the new settigns and speed.  how else were you checking your speed?
[17:40] <vanishing> Gratz474: its working now?
[17:40] <Gratz474> yea
[17:40] <Gratz474> not sure if its exa but its sure faster then it was
[17:40] <vanishing> Gratz474: then it should be exa
[17:40] <Gratz474> vanishing: how can i check?
[17:40] <Joker_-_> In /etc/exports, how do I specify a directory/file mode (RWXRWXRWX)? My problem is that when I create a file on a client machine, the default mode is (-RW-R-----) I'd like it to be 770 or 750...
[17:41] <caution> hello
[17:41] <ArchGT> hi, I want to print some t-shirts with the ubuntu logo for karmik release en Guatemala. Is that legal?
[17:41] <grawity> Joker_-_: As far as I know, NFS does not have the ability to specify any additional permissions - everything is done by the client, and in particular - what umask client is using.
[17:41] <fabio_> Hi guys
[17:41] <fabio_> do you know how I can switch on the airplane mode in Ubuntu?
[17:41] <caution> Need some help about a particular difficulty with firefox
[17:42] <Joker_-_> grawity: strange, Samba (cifs) does it... and NFS let you "pretend" it,s some other user writing (all_squash)...
[17:42] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: conky, cpufreq gnome panel applet
[17:42] <vanishing> Gratz474:ugh
[17:42] <MenZa> ArchGT: http://www.canonical.com/legal
[17:42] <trism> ArchGT: probably want to read http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy
[17:42] <grawity> Joker_-_: cifs does not support Unix permissions by default (it's an extension, AFAIK).
[17:42] <vanishing> Gratz474: sry was away
[17:42] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: general responsiveness too; 2133 vs. 800 feels very different
[17:42] <Gratz474> vanishing: huh?
[17:42] <grawity> Joker_-_: nfs, on the other hand, is a native Unix FS>
[17:42] <Gratz474> vanishing: ah
[17:42] <vanishing> Gratz474: remember the command i gave you before
[17:42] <ArchGT> MenZa: trism : thanks
[17:42] <Gratz474> vanishing: yea, but i restarted like 10x :)
[17:43] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: do you have any idea why "everything suddenly works" now I've installed cpufrequtils?
[17:43] <vanishing> Gratz474: this command:cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep -i exa
[17:43] <Joker_-_> grawity: don't know how and why it works, but it does ;) I used samba till a few weeks ago and it was working just fine... I tought I'd moove to nfs as I have no longer any windows machine on my network...
[17:43] <preecher> ive downloaded something and dont know what but now during any installation of a program i get a window that pops open saying "should hddtemp daemon be started at boot" any ideas on how to stop this
[17:43] <vanishing> Gratz474: does it show any output?
[17:43] <Gratz474> yea
[17:43] <Gratz474> using exa
[17:43] <bastid_raZor> jonaskoelker: you'll notice battery life will decrease a bit. its a personal choice of where you want it set.
[17:43] <Joker_-_> grawity: in samba, you can specify the user, the group, the file mode, the directory mode... everything is straight forward in SWAT
[17:44] <grawity> Joker_-_: I just explained why NFS does not have that feature.
[17:44] <the_madman> will_1: Sorry, was away.
[17:44] <trism> ArchGT: it appears that you need to get permission to make t-shirts (a few paragraphs down in the page I linked)
[17:44] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: sure, but I'd rather have a usable laptop with a short battery life than an unusable computer with a long battery life ;)
[17:44] <will_1> np :)
[17:44] <the_madman> will_1: Well, Ubuntu NBR is GTK+ based, so...
[17:44] <Gratz474> vanishing: do you know anything about that test? glgfx or something to see how many frames i am getting?
[17:44] <caution> When I try to reach the "deezer" website, there is a message informing that I have to get the last adobe Flash Player version... but I have install the last version, so ?
[17:44] <vanishing> Gratz474:well grats..lol
[17:44] <Joker_-_> grawity: so mainly, because it's natively supported, rater than a fix, it miss features... strange.
[17:44] <vanishing> Gratz474: glxgears
[17:44] <will_1> I got the qt-4 dev kit package installed
[17:45] <the_madman> will_1: It might be using Qt's GTK style to mimick the GTK style, which might in turn mess things up.
[17:45] <will_1> ah
[17:45] <grawity> Joker_-_: It isn't missing - that's what umasks are used for.
[17:45] <Joker_-_> grawity: so I should use umask in fstab?
[17:45] <thedancingdeer> i've got 2x1gb@667 memory on my dual channel dg33 board! i wish to upgrade it 2 4gb! how do i upgrade it? will 1x2gb work since it is dual channel? will a 800 module work good?
[17:45] <grawity> Joker_-_: ...no/
[17:45] <caution> #ubuntu-fr
[17:45] <the_madman> will_1: If it looks mostly like your other GTK apps (apart from the distortion), that's what I'd put it down to.

[17:46] <Gratz474> vanishing: does it come via default?
[17:46] <Joker_-_> grawity: I'm sorry if I'm not making myself clear here, I'm simply looking for an answer as how to do what I want to do.
[17:46] <Joker_-_> grawity: it can be client or server side, just point me to the right direction...
[17:46] <will_1> Ya the program looks normal. It just seems like the widgets didn't get packed in the proper place
[17:46] <dm__> SeaPhor Hey, are you there?
[17:46] <will_1> Maybe I can convert it to GTK
[17:46] <the_madman> will_1: There's your problem, then. It's styling.
[17:47] <vanishing> Gratz474: it should..o.o
[17:47] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: anyways, I have a working system now, so I'm outta' here.  Thanks a ton for the help! :) :) :)   [I'm still available on freenode should you need me]
[17:47] <Gratz474> vanishing: how many frames do you get?
[17:47] <thedancingdeer> i've got 2x1gb@667 memory on my dual channel dg33 board! i wish to upgrade it 2 4gb! how do i upgrade it? will 1x2gb work since it is dual channel? will a 800 module work fine?
[17:47] <vanishing> Gratz474: open up terminal, type glxgears, and look at the out put
[17:47] <jonaskoelker> bastid_raZor: ah, have an extra ":)"
[17:47] <mattgyver> I have an SD card with a FAT32 and EXT4 partiion for my phone, how can i make an exact image of the card?
[17:47] <Gratz474> vanishing: yea just did it
[17:47] <Guest20929> czy jest ktos z polski
[17:47] <will_1> Thanks madman! I will look into this further now that I at least have a starting point!
[17:47] <the_madman> will_1: Maybe you don't have to... I think there's a way to either trunciate text that's longer then the widgets, or set a minimum/maximum width on widgets.
[17:47] <grawity> mattgyver: dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/sdb.dump bs=16M
[17:48] <vanishing> Gratz474: good?

[17:48] <leftyfb> anyone have a solution for that?
[17:48] <leftyfb> can't pick our own gdm theme
[17:48] <Gratz474> vanishing: how many frames do you get? by running it? i get 80
[17:48] <the_madman> will_1: I'm not sure, but I think that might be part of QLayoutWidget/QHBoxLayout/QVBoxLayout etc.
[17:48] <vanishing> Gratz474: i get something like that too
[17:48] <mattgyver> grawity: an fdisk -l will return both/dev/ locations though, so... how can i make them one... can you cat them together?
[17:49] <SirFunk> how can i see all the filesystem calls a program makes?
[17:49] <vanishing> Gratz474: wait.....80?
[17:49] <Gratz474> vanishing: yes
[17:49] <grawity> mattgyver: Just use 'sdX' without any number after it (this represents the entire device)
[17:49] <preecher> ive downloaded something and dont know what but now during any installation of a program i get a window that pops open saying "should hddtemp daemon be started at boot" any ideas on how to stop this

[17:50] <vanishing> Gratz474: glxgears? arround 350
[17:51] <Gratz474> while doing nothing right?
[17:51] <vanishing> yea
[17:51] <vanishing> what chipset are you using?
[17:51] <vanishing> o.o

[17:58] <apparle> llutz: when I use the program with sudo it works fine
[17:58] <trism> Pranav: well, xlock is in the xlockmore package, which is what I believe icewm uses to lock the screen
[17:59] <r3dwa11> very nice try 2 melt backtrack with jaunty but.........
[17:59] <shavinder> on a CLI, how do i figure out what is the name of the pen drive i just plugged in?
[17:59] <lulika> is it possible to make thunar open (view) a script file instead of executing it on double click?
[18:00] <Pranav> trism, I installed the xlock but the buttom is still disabled for lock workstation when I press Ctrl+Alt+Del. Although I can run the lock using xlock from the terminal
[18:00] <Pranav> trism, Should I need a restart ?
[18:00] <trism> Pranav: yep that did it my button works now, you need to restart icewm
[18:00] <trism> Pranav: or change the theme
[18:00] <Pranav> trism, ok, :)
[18:01] <apparle> llutz: what to do
[18:01] <dury> r3dwall: you know in gnome you have at the top three menus that is Applications, Places and System. well in System menu IO haven't got the icon to shutdown the system . the question is how can I add it?
[18:01] <kaddi> hi guys. I was wondering if anyone has been using a WD passport essential under ubuntu and if it's running fine? Official info only says compatible MS/Apple. I assume it's fine, but I would like to be sure before buying it
[18:01] <Joker_-_> grawity: http://satish-linuxbug.blogspot.com/2009/02/nfs-with-acl-ignore-umask.html

[18:02] <vanishing> dury: have you tried the fast user swith applet?
[18:02] <vanishing> dury: in gnome-panel
[18:02] <Hans_Henrik> umm... when i do apt-get install mysql-server-5.1  then later do apt-get install phpmyadmin , it Deletes mysql-server-5.1 and install mysql-server-5.0 >.< bug?

[18:04] <patbam> apparently the new system i've bougth has a terrible radeon graphics card (2100) which causes all sorts of woe. would it make sense to just buy a graphics card and install it?
[18:04] <vanishing> dury: you are using gnome right?
[18:04] <trism> kaddi: well, it's a wd passport, I think it is a model older than the essential, should probably still work though
[18:04] <llutz> apparle:sudo adduser <youruser> lp
[18:04] <llutz> apparle: then re-login
[18:04] <dury> vanishing: yeah
[18:04] <vanishing> dury: so the panel with the 3 menus is the gnome-panel..*_*

[18:04] <llutz> apparle: then re-login
[18:04] <apparle> llutz: Ahhhh you didn't tell me relogin
[18:05] <apparle> Wait I'll check

[18:05] <nibsa1242> I need help with keyboard layout. When I try to use the '/" key I have to press the spacebar after the key or it thinks I'm typing an accent mark on the previous character.

[18:06] <vanishing> Gratz474: well..dont be too greedy..lol
[18:07] <vanishing> dury: that why i said right click any blank spot on gnome-panel

[18:09] <dury> vanishing: I'm in add to panel
[18:09] <Gratz474> vanishing: i mean i deserve this i guess for not buying a newer one, heh
[18:09] <thedancingdeer> slimindie: what is the trouble? what are the errors?
[18:09] <rapchee> bye
[18:09] <thedancingdeer> i've got 2x1gb@667 memory on my dual channel dg33 board! i wish to upgrade it 2 4gb! how do i upgrade it? will 1x2gb work since it is dual channel? will a 800 module work fine?
[18:09] <slimindie> i've had the problem with the ubuntu 7.04 and 9.10 beta discs
[18:09] <Martin_vW> I'm trying to import a key from keyserver.ubuntu.com, but the connection always times out. Is this a problem on my side, or does anyone else have this problem too?
[18:09] <vanishing> Gratz474:lol..........80 is pretty good imo..
[18:09] <slimindie> it's a dell dimension 3000
[18:09] <apparle> llutz: thanks relogin did the trick
[18:09] <Gratz474> vanishing: but maybe 3 years ago when i run linux it felt a bit faster but i guess now its ok, but whew in uxa was not even what i consider usalbe
[18:09] <slimindie> it locks up partway through me typing in my info for the install
[18:09] <slimindie> i can still move the mouse, but i can't type in any fields
[18:09] <vanishing> Gratz474: google some tweaks, maybe that will fasten your system up a bit more
[18:09] <llutz> apparle: since you're using linux quite a while, i thought you know those basics
[18:09] <apparle> llutz: What to do if I by chance edited it through sudo how to make editable by normal user
[18:10] <Gratz474> slimindie: you have a dimension 3000?
[18:10] <slimindie> pressing the power button on the front of the box looks like it initiates a clean shutdown too
[18:10] <slimindie> Gratz474, yes
[18:10] <Gratz474> lol
[18:10] <Gratz474> what irony
[18:10] <Gratz474> are you using onboard graphics?
[18:10] <llutz> apparle: man chown/chmod
[18:10] <vanishing> me?
[18:10] <Gratz474> vanishing: the 80 is not too bad its when it drops to 40 things get bad :)
[18:11] <slimindie> yes
[18:11] <apparle> llutz: I knew about restarting X when doing change to xorg.conf but not this :D
[18:11] <Gratz474> slimindie: you are using onboard?
[18:11] <vanishing> Gratz474: its 40 now?o.o
[18:11] <Gratz474> so its a intel 82865G right?
[18:11] <Rev_> hello all
[18:11] <Gratz474> vanishing: no
[18:11] <apparle> llutz: thanks I'll see the man page
[18:11] <Gratz474> but i bet it will be :)
[18:11] <slimindie> Gratz474, yes i am, it's the 82865g, yeah
[18:11] <Gratz474> if i open a bunch of stuff
[18:11] <FloodBot3> Gratz474: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:11] <vanishing> Gratz474: lol..
[18:11] <Gratz474> welcome to hell slimindie
[18:11] <Rev_> has a patch been released in order to make the ATI card Xxxx work under jaunty with prioritary drivers ?
[18:11] <Gratz474> slimindie: welcome to hell
[18:11] <apparle> llutz: Also what should I do to make parallel port accessible via wine programs
[18:12] <slimindie> Gratz474, i take it that particular chipset doesn't play nice?
[18:12] <dury> I quit accidentally .... hi there again channel :)
[18:12] <Gratz474> i am using the same card i suggest you read the logs, if you want it to be usable
[18:12] <vanishing> Gratz474: add the cpu applet, and put it to performance....that will make it faster.
[18:12] <docmax> hello i have questions about multi montior support, any experts here?
[18:12] <nibsa1242> How can I make my keyboard stop doing this: Iḿ äëéó . I just want to type a freaking quote mark!
[18:12] <slimindie> Gratz474: which logs?
[18:12] <Gratz474> vanishing: the processor is 2.6 ghz so its nto really an issue there its that super slow pos integrated graphics, but i have heard you can overlock it a bit without messing it up
[18:13] <vanishing> docmax: from what i know, xrandr is pretty good
[18:13] <Gratz474> slimindie: the ones here
[18:13] <llutz> apparle: no clue about wine, but it should run with user-rights, so it should access parport0 too
[18:13] <LjL> nibsa1242: switch the layout from US International to plain US
[18:13] <dury> vanishing: hi
[18:13] <Gratz474> vanishing: slimindie has the same card as me =P
[18:13] <LjL> !layout | nibsa1242
[18:13] <vanishing> Gratz474: that will surely effect the speed by a little bit..
[18:13] <vanishing> dury: hi
[18:13] <vanishing> Gratz474:lol..teach him now
[18:13] <docmax> vanishing, here is what i want my pc to do
[18:14] <apparle> llutz: There isn't because a program needs the parallel port in wine but all options to select are greyed out
[18:14] <slimindie> Gratz474: so have you been able to get it up an running? or is it basically a disaster?
[18:14] <tjingboem> can in gnome be switched between multiple desktops like in KDE?
[18:14] <Gratz474> but i am not complaining really its quite usable now slimindie
[18:14] <llutz> apparle: /j #winehq
[18:14] <docmax> i need a button or command, which enables or disables 2nd display
[18:14] <grawity> tjingboem: Yes.
[18:14] <Gratz474> if you use the older intel driver yes slimindie
[18:14] <nibsa1242> LjL, yes, Iǘ done that, Iḿ using english. I tried english USA and international english they both behave strangely.
[18:14] <dury> vanishing: right click in that panel and then
[18:14] <apparle> llutz: I was about to do that :)
[18:14] <Guest50460> hey all, is keyserver.ubuntu.com down? I can't configure a PPA...
[18:14] <vanishing> dury: do you see a choice of "add to panel"?
[18:14] <LjL> nibsa1242: there is no "english" layout, there is a US and a UK layout
[18:14] <qcz> PL?
[18:15] <slimindie> Gratz474: how can i get the older driver though if i can't even get through the installer? do i need to default it to text-based install or something?
[18:15] <tjingboem> grawity: how?
[18:15] <LjL> nibsa1242: are you sure you have changed the layout and not the system language (different things)?
[18:15] <nibsa1242> LjL, the layout is ok. But it won't just do a ' or "mark. I have to press the "key and then spacebar.
[18:15] <Gratz474> slimindie: i never had an issue getting through the installer lol
[18:15] <dury> vanishing: yeah  a window appears with a list
[18:15] <qcz> :D
[18:15] <qcz> Linux <3
[18:15] <LjL> nibsa1242: yes, that's what a US International layout causes.
[18:15] <slimindie> Gratz474: oy
[18:15] <nibsa1242> LjL Iǘe tried USA International and USA neither work
[18:15] <grawity> tjingboem: a) Point to the desktop, scroll. Or b) find the workspace switcher in the panel.
[18:15] <vanishing> dury: do you see fast user switch applet in that list?
[18:15] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know how to get my M-Audio Audiophile USB soundcard to work under Ubuntu?
[18:15] <spasticteapot> It's not being recognized.
[18:15] <grawity> tjingboem: If you're using Compiz, install CCSM - there are a few plugins related to workspaces. (They're on by default, but you might want to adjust things.)
[18:15] <slimindie> Gratz474: i thought there was something wrong with the box at first, but xp pro runs on it with no problems
[18:16] <Gratz474> slimindie: honestly though not so bad if you use exa
[18:16] <qcz> bye
[18:16] <nibsa1242> LjL, maybe if I remove USA International from the list, even though USA is set as default?
[18:16] <snowball> anyone type gnome-shell yet? let me know your thoughts
[18:16] <vanishing> snowball: sucks.....
[18:16] <LucidGuy> Ok why the hell can I not find a way to contact Canonical for phone server support? .. anywhere on their website.
[18:17] <vanishing> snowball: well ..not that suck..bug i'd prefer compiz..
[18:17] <Gratz474> vanishing: 80 might sound bad but its not that bad
[18:17] <LucidGuy> Interested in a per-incident deal .. none of this yearly crap.
[18:17] <vanishing> but*
[18:17] <nibsa1242> LjL, I'm ok. That worked. so its a bug. If you have USA Int'l as an option, even if you set USA to default, you still get USA Int'l behavior.
[18:17] <Gratz474> slimindie: i am looking to overlock it a bit
[18:17] <vanishing> Gratz474: its usable....
[18:17] <slimindie> Gratz474: how can i tell which it's using? i have a lot of linux use experience, not so much in the tweaking department
[18:17] <LjL> nibsa1242: uh, "default" doesn't mean "currently active"
[18:17] <snowball> vanishing: I could see that, needs a lot of improvements
[18:17] <vanishing> snowball: yea..
[18:17] <LjL> nibsa1242: the whole reason why you can have a *list* of more than one layout is so that you can quickly switch from one to the other
[18:18] <seanhodges> Can someone try connecting to keyserver.ubuntu.com, I'm having trouble connecting to it...
[18:18] <meanburrito920_> does anyone know what time today that the 910rc iso should be released?
[18:18] <nibsa1242> LjL, I set it as default, and then selected "Apply System-Wide"
[18:18] <slimindie> Gratz474: overclock the cpu and not the graphics i'm assuming. you said you had the 2.6 right?
[18:18] <jatencio> is there an ubuntu packages for eclipse webtools?
[18:18] <dury> vanishing: not as you mention...maybe it has another name... can't see it as you said
[18:18] <nibsa1242> LjL, there is no other obvious option to make the selected layout active.
[18:18] <vanishing> dury: hm...
[18:18] <LjL> nibsa1242: it's probably a keyboard shortcut (i'm on KDE though so not sure which)
[18:19] <chm> seanhodges: smooth here
[18:19] <Blood> salut
[18:19] <Blood> hi
[18:19] <nibsa1242> slimindie, Gratz474 does oc work on ubuntu? Everytime I've booted an OC cpu into a linux system, cat /proc/cpuinfo reported as not being oced
[18:20] <nibsa1242> LjL,  seems like a papercut bug... I'll file it as such.
[18:20] <vanishing> dury: you are probably missing a panel package..i forgot which one.
[18:20] <vanishing> gotta take a rest...tired..
[18:20] <agent42> I'm preparing for Ubuntu 9.10. I will do a clean install. Is there a way I can create a readable list of (everything) _I_ have installed in synaptic? I don't want the dependencies ("additional required changes"), only the main entries and I don't want the default items.
[18:20] <vanishing> cya Gratz474
[18:21] <seanhodges> chm: thanks for letting me know, must be something at my end then
[18:21] <LjL> nibsa1242: i don't believe it's a bug, but as you wish
[18:22] <slimindie> nibsa1242: i've never bothered to oc
[18:22] <xZeddx> I'm having an issue and I have no clue how to fix it. I scoured the forums but their solutions to the same problem didn't provide a fix.
[18:22] <Mithren> My update manager is telling me it "could not download all repository indexes" after I try and check for updates. could I get some figuring this out?
[18:22] <dury> vanishing: so it can install it?
[18:22] <docmax> i need a button or command, which enables or disables 2nd display
[18:22] <jonnor> Mithren: apt-get update will likely tell you which repos/mirrors are not working
[18:22] <docmax> can you help?
[18:22] <xZeddx> my gnome apps aren't launching urls, mailto, and other handlers. noticed the problem in gnome-terminal but it extends to other apps as well.
[18:22] <nibsa1242> LjL, paper cut = trivially fixable usability bug... its nonintuitive to add a layout, select it as default and then not have a way to make it active

[18:24] <LucidGuy> Can someone please provide me with a Canonical technical support hotline server enterprise support!!!!  urgent issue and website is of no help
[18:24] <Gratz474> vanishing: thanks alot for your help
[18:24] <vanishing> really gtg rest..=.=
[18:24] <grawity> LucidGuy: How about asking here instead?
[18:24] <Gratz474> vanishing: i am going to put a old 05 live cd in there just to see what i get with gears lol
[18:24] <vanishing> Gratz474: np..
[18:24] <Gratz474> just for fun
[18:24] <vanishing> lol..
[18:24] <dury> vanishing: nvm what's that?
[18:24] <vanishing> well..stay in touch
[18:25] <vanishing> dury: i think they took it out..
[18:25] <xZeddx> anyone? this problem is really irksome

[18:28] <preecher> ive downloaded something and dont know what but now during any installation of a program i get a window that pops open saying "should hddtemp daemon be started at boot" any ideas on how to stop this
[18:28] <patbam> true or false: radeon sucks
[18:28] <LjL> !offtopic | patbam
[18:28] <apparle> llutz: At wine channel I got that I have to symlink to dosdevices.......which one should I link lp0 or parport0 and what is the diffrence
[18:29] <LjL> preecher: pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install"
[18:29] <Gratz474> these are both horrrrible cards, but a geforce 2 400 mx vs a intel 82865G what would suck less?
[18:29] <Blood> hi, i got a problem. When i play a game, the mouse seems to go all funny, and the arrows of the keypad too (neverball, and tuxkart). Any ideas from where this could come from?
[18:29] <nickapalooza> Gratz474: not to be rude, but why do you care?
[18:29] <patbam> LjL: i mean int he context of ubuntu. i'm trying to figure out whether it makes sense to try to get a radeon card working or not
[18:30] <Pranav> trism, I can manually run any screensaver from the menu in IceWM but when I use the lock buttom after C+A+D keys, the only screensaver that runs is black screen. Where can I change this to random ?
[18:30] <Gratz474> nickapalooza: cause on this old box i want to use one or the other
[18:30] <nickapalooza> Granis: the GF card would probably be the better choice because it will have it's own processor and memory while the Intel onboard stuff will utilize the system's resources
[18:31] <preecher> ok i am a ubuntu and linux noob---i did understand the command part but i dont know what pastebin is
[18:32] <docmax> i need a button or command, which enables or disables 2nd display. can you help me please?
[18:32] <slimindie> Gratz474: i tend to agree with nickapalooza , dedicated card almost always better than integrated chip
[18:32] <flower> how can I check whether gnome-desktop-environment installs pulseaudio?
[18:32] <nickapalooza> preecher: pastebin is a website where you paste things freely?
[18:32] <preecher> o ok--thx
[18:32] <wad> Is this still true? "the latest ATI driver is incompatible with XOrg 1.6"
[18:32] <Gratz474> slimindie: well are you using a dedicated on that 3000? hehe
[18:33] <slimindie> i am, but i just got it yesterday. my company was cleaning out old hardware and put it out to pasture.
[18:33] <dury> I'm creating Launcher to shut down the computer... what's the command?
[18:33] <aaron111> Helo I want to know why my flash is no good. Whenever I want to play a you tube video but the play and pause button is bolded for some reason and most videos don't reload. Is there a special type of flash I have to install? Im running Ubuntu 9.04.
[18:33] <slimindie> dury: 'shutdown -h now' ought to do it
[18:33] <trism> Pranav: set the LockCommand in ~/.icewm/preferences, by default in /usr/share/icewm it is set to LockCommand="xlock -remote -mode blank"
[18:34] <aaron111> to shut down a computer from terminal try to su and type halt
[18:34] <LucidGuy> Ok I have a hardy box with locally attached storage and a volume of 39terabytes.  This large volume is shared out via NFS and is quite heavily used.  Recently Ubuntu has been dropping the mount with the following errors to the console.  Two scenarios included.  Any ideas?  Could it be because the system only have 8gigs of ram?  http://pastebin.ca/1637827
[18:34] <aaron111> LucidGuy: 39TB! Lier don't tell lies or we won't answer
[18:35] <xZeddx> My gnome apps aren't utilizing url-handlers and I don't know why.
[18:35] <LucidGuy> aaron111,  this is the truth .. no lies
[18:35] <LjL> aaron111: why would he be lying?
[18:35] <dury> slimindie: do you know where is the icon for "shutdown"
[18:35] <trism> Pranav: I believe you just have to change it to -mode random
[18:35] <LucidGuy> dell 2950 perc6es .. direct attached SAS
[18:35] <slimindie> dury: i don't know, sorry
[18:35] <aaron111> LjL: who would have a 39TB hd
[18:35] <LjL> aaron111: anyone who needs it?
[18:36] <Pranav> trism, doing so actually there's no ~/.icewm/preferences file..
[18:36] <LjL> aaron111: also, it's quite obviously not going to be a single HD. he said "volume".
[18:36] <slimindie> aaron111: one would have to assume that it's not a single drive. given that it has 8gb of ram it's probably pretty beefy
[18:36] <aaron111> ok but can someone help me with my question
[18:36] <LucidGuy> I think I have 40 disks in this volume
[18:36] <trism> Pranav: I don't know if creating one with completely override /usr/share/icewm/preferences or just add to it, but you're probably safer copying /usr/share/icewm/preferences to ~/.icewm/preferences and editing that
[18:37] <YeTr2> I have a silly question. I put an audio cd in my computer. what application is supposed to be used to play it?
[18:37] <Gratz474> slimindie: well just popped a geforece 2 in lets see whati  get with this
[18:37] <Gratz474> brb
[18:37] <Martin_vW> LucidGuy: I'd suspect hardware damage. Have you tried to run memtest on that machine?
[18:37] <LjL> aaron111: possible, but unlikely. if you have a support contract with Canonical or whatever, i do suggest you don't stop seeking their support while waiting for an answer here.
[18:37] <aaron111> Helo I want to know why my flash is no good. Whenever I want to play a you tube video but the play and pause button is bolded for some reason and most videos don't reload. Is there a special type of flash I have to install? Im running Ubuntu 9.04.
[18:37] <shutdown> does anybody know about backtrack?
[18:37] <LjL> aaron111: oh, i meant that for LucidGuy rather.
[18:37] <jonnor> LucidGuy: have you experience this with anything else than xfs?
[18:38] <LucidGuy> jonnor, Me personally .. no.
[18:38] <aaron111> LjL: Excuse me?
[18:38] <LjL> aaron111: i misaddressed that line.
[18:38] <trism> aaron111: which package did you install? you want the flashplugin-installer package, not swfdec or any of the many open source versions of flash
[18:38] <shutdown> does anybody know backtrack?
[18:38] <LjL> !backtrack | shutdown
[18:38] <Blood> hello, i got a big problem with ubuntu. When i play a game, the mouse goes all weird.
[18:39] <LjL> !derivatives | shutdown
[18:39] <aaron111> trism: I got it from the flash website and downloaded the .deb file
[18:39] <jonnor> LucidGuy: I'd consider taking this directly upstream to kernel/fs devs, it could be a filesystem bug
[18:39] <Jeruvy> shutdown: you may want to ask in #remote-exploit if you have questions about it specifically
[18:39] <thedancingdeer> how do i check system temperature on my dg33? acpi -t doesn't return anything
[18:39] <Martin_vW> aaron111: there should be a working flash package provided by Ubuntu itself, no need to download it from Adobe
[18:39] <trism> aaron111: might try removing that one and doing a sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[18:39] <shutdown> cool
[18:40] <docmax> i need a button or command, which enables or disables 2nd display. can you help me please?
[18:40] <aaron111> how do I uninstall the adobe one
[18:40] <jonnor> LucidGuy: do you have a Canonical support deal?
[18:40] <LucidGuy> jonnor,   I would love too .. but I cant seem to find a freaking number to contact Canonical.
[18:40] <aaron111> trism: how do I uninstall the Adobe one
[18:40] <Martin_vW> aaron111: you need to find out it's name, e.g. by typing "dpkg -l | grep -i flash" into a terminal.
[18:40] <aaron111> ok
[18:41] <natrixnatrix89> Where can I get other plugins for brasero disc burner? Because when I try to burn a video DVD with brasero, it says, I have to insert a different cd, or the plugins do not support it..
[18:41] <Martin_vW> aaron111: then remove it with "sudo aptitude purge <packagename>"
[18:41] <docmax> us ubuntu better than windows 7?
[18:41] <LjL> !better | docmax
[18:41] <goku12205> what's up
[18:41] <LucidGuy> jonnor, can you recommend how I can get a hold of them .. without purchasing a years worth of support
[18:42] <aaron111> Martin_vW: and trism: This is the output
[18:42] <aaron111> adobe-flashplugin                          10.0.32.18-1                              Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
[18:42] <aaron111> ii  libswfdec-0.8-0                            0.8.4-1                                   SWF (Macromedia Flash) decoder library
[18:42] <jonnor> LucidGuy: what do you mean? You're not entitled to any direct help from them unless you have a support deal.
[18:42] <trism> aaron111: sudo apt-get purge adobe-flashplugin
[18:42] <aaron111> ok
[18:42] <trism> aaron111: you also should get rid of libswfdec-0.8-0
[18:43] <jonnor> if you don't want to get such a deal, use the community for what its worth
[18:43] <LucidGuy> jonnor,  so what your saying is we can not purchase a per incident deal?
[18:43] <paddy_> hi from spikecity every1
[18:43] <Blood> where is the ubuntu support chan ?
[18:43] <Pici> Blood: This is it.
[18:43] <LjL> Blood: here
[18:43] <goku12205> ur on it
[18:43] <Blood> oh
[18:44] <Jeruvy> LucidGuy: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services should tell you what you need to know
[18:44] <Blood> i was told the support on ubuntu was great. But its far better on debian ...
[18:44] <arand> When the kernel is updated, it pops up a query about what to do with menu.lst... Is this really relevant for most users?
[18:44] <Pranav> So wierd, back button in firefox doesn't work ? :(
[18:44] <trism> aaron111: swfdec is probably why your flash videos seem messed up
[18:44] <Ford> Hi all, are there any known viruses/worms/trojans affecting ubuntu?
[18:44] <Blood> ford : you mean affecting linux ?
[18:44] <kollapse> Hi. Can anyone help me with this strace: http://pastie.org/664936 It complains about missing a library that actually exists.
[18:45] <aaron111> ok
[18:45] <jonnor> LucidGuy: In general, I do not believe this is possible.
[18:45] <LucidGuy> Jeruvy, been there many times .. with no contact number anywhere .. just a purchase page for yearly support options.
[18:45] <azlon> !ics
[18:45] <Ford> Blood, oh yes
[18:45] <Blood> well i dunno, but i dont think so.
[18:45] <Blood> linux isnt perfect, but its far more secure than  windows.
[18:45] <jonnor> LucidGuy: I'd take the issue to Launchpad and mention that you'd like to be able to get one-time support for this issue.
[18:46] <goku12205> i can't move any windows around on ubuntu anymore any help?
[18:46] <LjL> Blood, Ford: there are some viruses, none in the wild. trojans - the world is full with them.
[18:46] <azlon> how do i make a regular text file into a script? something like #/etc/bash!
[18:46] <Blood> LjL => well i dont know, but i dont need an AV on linux.
[18:46] <grawity> azlon: It's #!/bin/bash
[18:46] <goku12205> lol
[18:46] <Ford> LjL, thanks. Please tell me of one that particularly affect linux
[18:46] <Blood> Still no one who knows why my mouse goes crazy in games ?
[18:46] <grawity> azlon: And chmod +x
[18:46] <azlon> grawity, thanks
[18:47] <goku12205> ha my mouse does that to
[18:47] <LjL> Ford: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware
[18:47] <Ford> LjL, thanks buddy
[18:47] <Gratz474> ok things are kinda messed up with the nvidia card atm, i dont think its detectng the driver or maybe the driver is not installed
[18:47] <Gratz474> does nvidia drivers come installed?
[18:48] <Jeruvy> LucidGuy: you should then send a email request to them.  They should be able to respond with a formal answer for you.  I sure don't know any phone number.
[18:48] <jonnor> LucidGuy: also, you can contact Canonical via this form: http://shop.canonical.com/contact_us.php
[18:49] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  Would it be a Bad Thing if I put "exit 0" at the top of /etc/init.d/hal?
[18:49] <LucidGuy> jonnor, thanks .. already sent them an email
[18:50] <Gratz474> i am getting twice the numbers in glxgears then i was an intel integrated card, and the nvidia one is not even installed properly
[18:50] <LucidGuy> thanks guys for all your help .. but have to run.
[18:51] <Kyozan> excuse the newbness but i'm interested in using ubuntu on my laptop and i have a few questions involving gaming, application use and a few others.
[18:51] <jonaskoelker> Kyozan: being a n00b is okay, ask away :)
[18:51] <killazzz> hi how do we find more irc chat room ? coz i got question about windows that i need an answer
[18:51] <killazzz> ?
[18:51] <LjL> killazzz: ##windows
[18:51] <LjL> !channels > killazzz    (killazzz, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:52] <jonaskoelker> killazzz: try joining random channels, it sometimes works :)
[18:52] <Kyozan> okay how does ubuntu handle commercial games?  does it play all or just the ones with the linux install consoles?
[18:52] <dro> which drivers should i use for intel sound card IEC958 (ICH6)
[18:52] <killazzz> ok but u know a lot about windows ?
[18:52] <killazzz> coz i got 2 question and thats all
[18:52] <jonaskoelker> Kyozan: you can play some with wine, other by running a virtual windows instance
[18:52] <aaron115> helo and no that did not fix my problem
[18:52] <LjL> killazzz: questions about Windows should not be asked in this channel.
[18:52] <jonaskoelker> Kyozan: starcraft works well, warcraft 3 decently, I had some luck with counterstrike (after a bit of fiddling)
[18:52] <aaron115> trism:
[18:53] <apparle> How to access parallel port under wine software ......... didn't get anyhelp from #winehq
[18:53] <killazzz> i know but in private is it ok ?
[18:53] <grawity> No.
[18:53] <killazzz> that why i dindt ask it
[18:53] <jonaskoelker> Kyozan: that question is best answered on a case-by-case basis :)  have a look at wine's appdb
[18:53] <Kyozan> how bout emulation software?
[18:53] <Kyozan> like project 64.. psx emulators and such
[18:54] <jonaskoelker> Kyozan: some are packaged (tons of old nintendo consoles), some you might have to install from source
[18:54] <trism> aaron115: still not working even after uninstalling both adobeflash and the libswfdec and installing the flashplugin-nonfree package?
[18:54] <Kyozan> so they work well
[18:54] <jonaskoelker> Kyozan: I'm sure you can find someone to hand-hold you through installation from source, but you might have more luck in #psx, say
[18:54] <LjL> Kyozan: some emulators are available in the standard ubuntu repositories. the coverage isn't very comprehensive, however (for instance, i don't believe project 64 is available)
[18:54] <Gratz474> hey i need a few suggestions
[18:54] <jonaskoelker> Kyozan: I wouldn't know how well the console emulators work
[18:54] <eternal_p> does anyone know how to get upnp working with amsn
[18:55] <Gratz474> should i install 9.10? i mean i just installed this and my graphics card is not working really cause i messed with libmesa stuff to backport my intel card but now using an old nvidia which works better
[18:55] <Gratz474> ?
[18:55] <trism> aaron115: does about:plugins in firefox list more than one flash plugin?
[18:55] <Kyozan> as far as system resources compared to widows how does ubuntu fare?
[18:55] <jonaskoelker> Gratz474: my *general* recommendation: wait a few months before installing the newest release
[18:56] <jonaskoelker> Gratz474: they always tend to break _something_ on my bo
[18:56] <jonaskoelker> *x
[18:56] <rizwan> got a silly problem. i cant seem to get ffmpeg convert from xvid (avi) to mp4 for a phone.
[18:56] <rizwan> !ffmpeg
[18:56] <Gratz474> jonaskoelker: yea well i ma broken now casue i did some backports for older intel drivers
[18:56] <rizwan> !mp4
[18:56] <aaron115> trism: it didn't work
[18:57] <grawity> ffmpeg -acodec libfaac -ab 64kb -vcodec mpeg4 -b 384kb -mbd 2 -flags +4mv -trellis 2 -subcmp 2 -s 320x240 -i file.avi file.mp4
[18:57] <grawity> I usually use that for my Sony-Ericsson.
[18:57] <Gratz474> like yea jonaskoelker i am pretty messed up right  now and i just installed it yesterday heh
[18:57] <Pranav> trism, thanks It worked
[18:58] <Gratz474> intel integrated grahics are so crappy
[18:58] <rizwan> grawity, says libfaac unknown encoder even though libfaac0 and libfaac-dev are installed
[18:58] <Pranav> trism, even changed the opaque window dragging feature to 0 in that file
[18:58] <Gratz474> hey why is the ubuntu rc going so slow ?
[18:59] <trism> Pranav: yeah, it has quite a few prefs to mess with in there
[19:00] <grawity> rizwan: Does ffmpeg -version list faac?
[19:00] <rizwan> grawity, no. how to enable it?
[19:00] <daevski> Sooooo.... if I have vsftpd running from init.d.... and it's not responding to "/etc/init.d/vsftpd [command]" what should I do?
[19:00] <rizwan> grawity, i dont really wanna go the route of re-compiling ffmpeg. any other way? :-)
[19:01] <grawity> rizwan: Dunno, ask someone else to recompile for you?
[19:01] <rizwan> grawity, i can do myself. just that it really should work without it. that's the point of having ubuntu and not some other distro :-)
[19:02] <grawity> rizwan: Actually, ffmpeg -formats | grep aac
[19:02] <Gratz474> how is a card from 2002 faster then a 2005 intel just really makes me wonder
[19:02] <Gratz474> a budget card from 2002 at that
[19:03] <LucidGuy> simple question .. is memtest included in lets say the ubuntu 804 64bit live CD?
[19:04] <rizwan> grawity,  D  aac             raw ADTS AAC
[19:04] <Martin_vW> LucidGuy: ubuntu-standard depends on memtest86+, so it should be installed on every Ubuntu system.
[19:04] <rizwan> grawity, D A    aac             Advanced Audio Coding
[19:04] <grawity> rizwan: But no lines with 'E' or 'EA'?
[19:04] <rizwan> grawity, no
[19:04] <LucidGuy> I want to simply test out the memory on one of my servers 8gb woth.
[19:05] <Scunizi> I'm trying to move a directory from one locate up one level. I've tried "sudo mv /path/from/directory/old/ /path/to/newlocation/ and it's not working.. what's wrong with my syntax?
[19:05] <apparle> How to see the size of gfx memory
[19:05] <fcuk112> how come my AWN doesn't always auto-hide?
[19:06] <jonaskoelker> Gratz474: crappy drivers?
[19:06] <jb> grr.. everytime I change a network connection to "Manual" from "DHCP" and hit apply, it automatically goes back to DHCP in 9.10
[19:06] <Pici> jb : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[19:06] <jonaskoelker> fcuk112: it's not configured to?
[19:06] <jb> sorry.  thanks
[19:06] <fcuk112> it's configured to, but when i bring it up and move the mouse to another area of the screen it doesn't autohide itself.  it does when i click on the bar and then move somewhere else.
[19:07] <emilys> hi guys, i'm using ubuntu NBR jaunty on my eee pc 1000HE.. everytime i'm enabling compiz effect, the desktop are flickering..
[19:07] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everybody !
[19:07] <TCor> Bounjour mon amis
[19:07] <LucidGuy> Does anyone know how long memtest would take to test 8gb of memory
[19:07] <debug1> Anyone else have an issue w/9.04 and the Intel DP43TF MB?
[19:08] <jonaskoelker> fcuk112: dunno then, sorry :\
[19:08] <tomvolek_> HI, I am trying to upgrade to a bigger disk from a multi boot partitioned disk.  whats a good utility to use ?
[19:08] <minVal> hai lads, have you ever had a problem with sudden browser crash
[19:08] <^mNotIntelligent> emilys, graphics card? graphics drivers are okey?
[19:08] <jonaskoelker> tomvolek_: tar and dd?
[19:08] <flansuse> Is it possible to resize an encrypted partitions (LUKS) without losing any data and without resorting to LVM (too late for LVM in my case)?
[19:08] <^mNotIntelligent> LucidGuy, pretty long
[19:09] <sgfx> x
[19:09] <tomvolek_> jonaskoelker   dloes dd copy symbolic links , etc...
[19:09] <^mNotIntelligent> flansuse, afraid not !
[19:09] <emilys> yeah, only in netbook mode but not in default desktop mode.
[19:09] <jonaskoelker> tomvolek_: it copies bytes
[19:09] <grawity> tomvolek_: dd copies raw data - it doesn't even know if it's copying a picture or a directory or just blank space on the disk.
[19:09] <flansuse> ^mNotIntelligent, so once it's been encrypted, the partition's size can never be changed?
[19:09] <tomvolek_> ok tx
[19:09] <grawity> tomvolek_: If you're changing to a larger disk, using tar would be better.
[19:09] <hzlocky> nja - http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3507/4033726325_45bec7b287.jpg
[19:09] <jonaskoelker> tomvolek_: like grawity said :)
[19:10] <^mNotIntelligent> flansuse, thats what I know, lets c what others have to say on this issue.
[19:10] <apparle> how to download files from ssh server
[19:10] <jonaskoelker> grawity: is tar good for copy/restoring a windows partition?
[19:10] <jonaskoelker> apparle: sshfs?
[19:10] <jrib> apparle: scp
[19:10] <grawity> apparle: scp, sshfs
[19:10] <grawity> apparle: And the Ubuntu way: Places ---> Connect to Server
[19:11] <eliasson> Hi. What is the name of the application that is similar to the OS X taskbar?
[19:11] <eliasson> Cannot remember the name :)
[19:11] <Gratz474> why is the rc downloading at 40 KB's?
[19:11] <jonaskoelker> eliasson: avant window navigator
[19:11] <tomvolek_> yes, i am upgrading to a larger disk and adding new parition to install OSX . so it be multi boot (xp,ubuntu,os x )
[19:11] <eliasson> jonaskoelker: thanks :)

[19:12] <hzlocky> midocrash: what linus thinking of windows -  http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3507/4033726325_45bec7b287.jpg
[19:12] <tomvolek_> I used gparted to copy the paritions to the new disk.  I dont know if it uses dd  under the hood or not...   but after it ws done . the new disk wont wont . my guess is the grub on the new disk needs work

[19:13] <Rohirrim> hzlocky: Nice one :)
[19:13] <KlockWorks> yo does ubuntu need a antivirus?
[19:13] <Pici> midocrash: Do you have a support question? If not, chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:13] <Gratz474> jonaskoelker: maybe, but 40 KB's is just too slow
[19:14] <midocrash> i am suped ubuntu
[19:14] <midocrash> OK
[19:14] <midocrash> i am soory

[19:14] <trism> apparle: the path is relative to your home directory on the host

[19:16] <Rohirrim> hzlocky: He has a great sense of humour :P
[19:16] <jonaskoelker> midocrash: I see there's some character before the '/' in what you type.  Get rid of that
[19:17] <jonaskoelker> midocrash: it appears as a dotted box on my screen, but that's probably just my box having an encoding issue
[19:18] <Pranav> anyway knows some lightweight xterm transparency programs ?
[19:18] <jonaskoelker> Pranav: "xterm transparency programs"?  What do you mean?
[19:18] <jonnor> jonaskoelker: midocrash: you also mistyped
[19:18] <trism> Pranav: I believe aterm has transparency, and it is pretty lightweight
[19:18] <jonnor> ubunut
[19:19] <jonaskoelker> Pranav: if you use compiz you get transparency "for free" in all your apps (if you want it)
[19:19] <Pranav> trism, jonaskoelker I want it only in xterm, is there a way cant find in man pages
[19:20] <trism> Pranav: I don't think xterm supports transparency
[19:20] <jonaskoelker> Pranav: are you running compiz?
[19:20] <jonaskoelker> Pranav: that is, do you have desktop effects enabled?
[19:20] <trism> jonaskoelker: he is running icewm, so probably doesn't have the resources for compiz
[19:20] <jonnor> Pranav: you can have true transparency for a single program with xcompmgr
[19:20] <Pranav> jonaskoelker, no I tried it once.
[19:21] <jonaskoelker> ah
[19:21] <jonnor> or you can use a terminal with support for pseudo transparency
[19:21] <Pranav> jonor like ..?
[19:21] <Vcoolio> Pranav: roxterm (newer version than in default jaunty repos) and, if you know how to compile it correctly, evilvte are lightweight and have real transparancy; for xterm I dont know
[19:21] <trism> Pranav: like aterm that I suggested above
[19:22] <arand> When doing a kernel upgrade, is asking about the menu.lst really a sane thing to do for the average user?
[19:22] <dury> bbl
[19:23] <Pranav> jonaskoelker, trism, Vcoolio ok guys :)
[19:23] <mzawieska> hello
[19:23] <mzawieska> do you guys know how to use LAMP>
[19:24] <jonnor> Some do. Just state your question.
[19:24] <mzawieska> I just installed it but i dont know how to use it
[19:24] <nickapalooza> RTFM?
[19:24] <jonnor> trap2: terminal (the xfce for instance)
[19:24] <jonnor> mzawieska: have you tested that it works?
[19:25] <mzawieska> yea it says local host works?
[19:25] <jonnor> and what do you want to do with this LAMP stack?
[19:25] <mzawieska> start writing
[19:26] <mzawieska> i want to see on the website local host what I am doin
[19:26] <jonnor> mzawieska: find a PHP tutorial and follow it
[19:26] <mzawieska> I did everything what it showed on the website
[19:26] <mzawieska> I know php
[19:26] <jonnor> #php can probably point you to some good ones
[19:26] <astrojp> I've had problems with 9.04 freezing up randomly for several months but has anyone had this problem worsen after the last update?
[19:26] <mzawieska> but i dont know whow lamp works
[19:27] <jonnor> mzawieska: what is unclear about it?
[19:27] <mzawieska> everything has to be store on the folder
[19:27] <trism> mzawieska: lamp is just linux apache mysql and php together, just make sure apache2 is running, put your code in /var/www and test stuff out on http://localhost
[19:28] <mzawieska> oh thank you i was looking for the file
[19:28] <mzawieska> where it was
[19:28] <jonnor> Then that is the question you should ask.
[19:28] <mzawieska> so i could write php on the gedit
[19:29] <mzawieska> or u guys recommend for begginers diff program
[19:29] <trism> mzawieska: gedit is fine to start with
[19:29] <trism> mzawieska: I use vim, everyone has their favorite editor
[19:29] <jonnor> note that you need root privileges to store in /var/www
[19:29] <trism> !editor | mzawieska
[19:29] <mzawieska> gedit going to show me errors I am making
[19:30] <mzawieska> help me fix it?
[19:30] <trism> mzawieska: no it won't do that, you'll need an editor that supports php
[19:30] <jonnor> No, gedit is not an IDE.
[19:30] <Rect> Just use VIM / VI / EMacs
[19:30] <mzawieska> vim sounds good
[19:30] <mzawieska> thank you guys
[19:30] <L337hium> hey, i'm writing an init.d script and have some probs. the first is that "log_daemon_msg: not found" but i copyed this from other init.d scripts oO
[19:31] <mzawieska> so all the code in php i store in var/www?
[19:31] <mzawieska> and it will show on localhost rigt ?
[19:31] <trism> mzawieska: yep
[19:31] <mzawieska> tahnk you guys for your help
[19:31] <mzawieska> thanx
[19:31] <wizzo50> sebsebseb: Hi, whats up?

[19:45] <rsullivan> got a simple question
[19:45] <ziomus> hey guys one more question I installed vim
[19:45] <sathiya> what should we do to learn Ubuntu ?
[19:45] <enrtes> my notebook is an ibm T40 with usb 2.0 broken, with this command (modprobe -r ehci_hcd) i can use usb 1.1 correctly in the previsious ubuntu it work in the 9.04 not
[19:45] <ziomus> but it is not showin on application
[19:45] <alma> sathiya: put cd in, turn computer on
[19:45] <ziomus> just type in terminal vim?
[19:45] <sathiya> ok
[19:45] <thiebaude> sathiya, there is the ubuntu pocket guide
[19:46] <grawity> ziomus: Try vimtutor first, I think.
[19:46] <enrtes> i have to disable ehci_hcd
[19:46] <rsullivan> id like to use a package for karmic in jaunty (is this possible)?
[19:46] <ziomus> in terminal
[19:46] <enrtes> why it said that it doesnt exist??
[19:46] <thiebaude> rsullivan, its not recommended
[19:46] <rsullivan> package in question: glew-1.5.1
[19:46] <flower> I installed a custom rt kernel in ubuntu, but it doesn't boot in vbox, what can be the cause?
[19:46] <^mNotIntelligent> rsullivan, only if have the corresponding pkg for jaunty, else not
[19:47] <flower> I used a minimal install
[19:47] <rsullivan> the jaunty package is out of date and doesn't support the new OpenGL 3.0 spec
[19:47] <rho_> Hi, is it possible to do in python: if func() as result_true:  ?
[19:47] <^mNotIntelligent> rsullivan, and not recommended at all
[19:47] <Pici> rho_: Probably a better question for #python
[19:47] <sathiya> i got that URL for downloading also ..thnks
[19:47] <apparle> enrtes: is the module loaded  check with lsmod
[19:47] <^mNotIntelligent> rho_, use #python
[19:47] <rho_> Pici, sorry, i forgot to join python channel :(

[19:49] <enrtes> apparle it's not loaded
[19:49] <crohakon> what about directories?
[19:49] <dzietije> i've forgotten my ubuntu login username, is there anything i can do to get into ubuntu painlessly?
[19:50] <dzietije> is there perhaps a default username, i tried 'root' and 'administrator'
[19:50] <^mNotIntelligent> crohakon, isnot rm -rf <dirname> enough for that?
[19:50] <enrtes> apparle, ehci_hcd is not loaded

[19:50] <wad> Any of you guys know how to uninstall an ATI video driver? I'm following a tutorial (http://tan-com.com/posts/technology/fix-ubuntu-904-ati-driver-issue) and it tells me to uninstall the ATI driver, but I'm not sure how to do it.
[19:51] <apparle> enrtes: so why are you trying to remove it
[19:51] <ZykoticK9> dzietije, if you can boot of a livecd and mount your HD, check in the /home folder and you will see the username you used -- not default root/toor account i'm affraid
[19:51] <trism> ziomus: and it will be in the menu under Applications/Accessories
[19:51] <dzietije> unfortunately i no longer have the cd
[19:51] <enrtes> in gthe previsious ubuntu i have to remove it to use usb
[19:51] <dzietije> oh well
[19:51] <apparle> wad: when you say ati driver do you man fglrx?
[19:51] <dzietije> are there any restrictions on passwords, would it have asked me to enter a mixture of lower/upper case
[19:51] <enrtes> now i have some problems with usb
[19:52] <ziomus> do you guys know any good tutor website for php?
[19:52] <marcin___> anyone who has fully working  optical audio "Toslink" ?
[19:52] <enrtes> how can i do this command automaticaly at start up?modprobe -r ehci_hcd
[19:53] <wad> apparle: I guess so. Yeah.
[19:53] <ZykoticK9> enrtes, just add ehci_hcd to the /etc/modules file
[19:53] <Pici> enrtes: Blacklist that module. add a line that says: blacklist ehci_hcd in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[19:53] <marcin___> anyone who has fully working  optical audio "Toslink" ?
[19:53] <marcin___> anyone who has fully working  optical audio "Toslink" ?

[19:55] <wad> apparle: I installed it a year or so ago, so I could use compiz and stuff. But now with the recent Ubuntu upgrade, and XOrg 1.6, it no longer works, so I'm downgrading XOrg so I can have a decent video driver.
[19:55] <wad> I'm following this tutorial: http://tan-com.com/posts/technology/fix-ubuntu-904-ati-driver-issue

[20:06] <trism> djbpython: did you make the script executable?
[20:06] <erUSUL> djbpython: if you want to run it automatically add a line like this to the beginning of the file → #!/bin/sh
[20:06] <djbpython> trism, yup chmod +x file.sh
[20:06] <dogguts> a__: afaik you can't open rpm by default on deian/ubuntu
[20:06] <Tuxist> hi
[20:06] <erUSUL> djbpython: then make it executable. chamod +x script
[20:06] <Tuxist> how can i get a netbook iso for lpia architectur ?
[20:07] <Gratz474> when i switched graphics cards my fonts look different
[20:07] <Gratz474> heh
[20:07] <Tuxist> lkie this ubuntu-9.10-rc-netbook-remix-lpia.iso
[20:07] <dogguts> a__: you could however try to convert the rpm to a deb; see: http://www.howtoforge.com/converting_rpm_to_deb_with_alien
[20:07] <Pici> !alien | a__
[20:07] <cmurf> i need help connecting to my wireless router
[20:07] <apparle> wad: why do you want to install old xserver and driver,,,,,,,,, I think your card supports the new driver
[20:07] <erUSUL> Gratz474: dpi settings ?
[20:08] <dogguts> a__: what rpm package is this about?
[20:08] <cmurf> can anyone help me?
[20:08] <Gratz474> erUSUL: they look darker or more smooth i dont know
[20:08] <Steil> ive got a problem, remote X is working so slow these days, but my network connection is absolutely clear....any ideas?
[20:08] <wad> apparle, that would be great! I'm thinking that I should at least try it. So I just downloaded the new driver, and I'm working on uninstalling the old one.
[20:08] <ziomus> how come I can not creat folder in var/www
[20:09] <ziomus> and when i click on test.php and want to start typing codes
[20:09] <ziomus> wont let me save it
[20:09] <cmurf> I'm running Ubuntu on my iMac and it will not recognize my wireless network
[20:09] <ziomus> says i have no permission
[20:10] <apparle> wad: did you upgrade from earlier versions of ubuntu or a fresh install of 9.04
[20:10] <wad> apparle, upgrade from previous.
[20:10] <PacketCollision> ziomus: /var/www is owned by root
[20:10] <a_> how do I convert an rpm file to deb file?
[20:10] <ziomus> so what i have to do
[20:11] <fiver22> "lspci -v" lists my soundcard (C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738) but I'm still not able to get any sound out of it. Does the fact that it's listed there mean that the driver/module is installed? Any ideas why I can't get sound out of it?
[20:11] <erUSUL> !alien | a_ is strongly not recomended
[20:11] <sathiya> :-D
[20:12] <PacketCollision> ziomus: simplest is probabl to chown /var/www to your user, assuming you are the only one who needs to access the dir
[20:12] <PacketCollision> ziomus: sudo chown -R USERNAME /var/www
[20:12] <apparle> wad: don't use that tutorial
[20:12] <natrixnatrix89> !ffmpeg

[20:13] <robotti^> it is about macbook
[20:13] <apparle> just remove this package  xorg-driver-fglrx
[20:14] <apparle> wad: ^
[20:14] <robotti^> I am using ubuntu linux 9.10 beta
[20:14] <a_> i'm trying to install vmware, and rpm is all there is
[20:14] <Pici> robotti^ : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[20:14] <apparle> wad: and then enable restricted drivers
[20:14] <wad> apparle, ok
[20:14] <wad> ok!
[20:14] <a_> erUSUL:i'm trying to install vmware, and rpm is all there is
[20:14] <PacketCollision> a_: you can use the .bundle install,
[20:15] <apparle> wad: actual the link you gave is for people who's graphic card does not support the new driver
[20:15] <dogguts> a_: if don't you really NEED vmware, try virtualbox, pleased me
[20:15] <KlockWorks> hey how do u put a icon on the desktop
[20:15] <a_> PacketCollision: how?
[20:15] <wad> apparle, ah, my bad.
[20:15] <wad> apparle, thanks for saving me from unnecessary pain. :)
[20:16] <PacketCollision> a_: or as far as I remember, something like this worked: fakeroot alien vmware.rpm
[20:16] <KlockWorks> yea
[20:16] <KlockWorks> like on windows you kno
[20:16] <KlockWorks> like a shortcut to the trash
[20:16] <PacketCollision> a_: just download the .bundle instead of the .rpm, chmod +x, sudo ./installer.bundle
[20:16] <ubuntu_giant> Say, with the most recent Ubuntu upgrade, has anything changed with the window system for anyone else?  It takes a long time for the window to paint.
[20:16] <djbpython> script is +x and I have #!/bin/bash at the top of the script i still need to type "bash script.sh" to run it
[20:16] <wad> apparle, I don't seem to have that package installed. I checked with "apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx" and also in the Synaptic Package Manager.
[20:17] <PacketCollision> djbpython: does ./script.sh work?
[20:17] <erUSUL> djbpython: what does « ./script.sh  » do ?
[20:17] <apparle> wad: very good then.............. just enable the restriceted driver
[20:17] <a_> I thought chmod was for changing permissions
[20:17] <trism> djbpython: if you are running a script in your current directory you need to begin with ./, because by default ubuntu doesn't add . to your path
[20:17] <djbpython> erUSUL, aha yes that works
[20:18] <PacketCollision> a_:  it is.  When you download the .bundle, it doesn't have its execute bit set.  You have to make it executable before you can run it
[20:18] <dogguts> a_: it is, including execute permissions
[20:18] <trism> djbpython: you could aways export PATH=$PATH:. to get a more windows-like behavior, but it is generally better to just get used to typing ./
[20:18] <wad> apparle, okay! But I'm not sure how to do that... I went to SYSTEM | ADMINISTRATION | HARDWARE DRIVERS and there's an ENABLE button, but it's disabled.
[20:18] <erUSUL> djbpython: basic shell knowledge. things not in $PATH (the variable) nee to be explicity called with full path to run them
[20:18] <a_> ok I'll try it
[20:19] <erUSUL> djbpython: ./ is the current folder (and ../ its parent )
[20:19] <^mNotIntelligent> fine
[20:19] <wad> apparle, I downloaded this file, should I run it? http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.5&lang=English
[20:19] <djbpython> erUSUL, do some shells include . in the PATH?
[20:19] <erUSUL> !cli > djbpython
[20:19] <ubuntu_giant> Why is it taking so long for the windows to paint in the gnome environment?
[20:19] <erUSUL> djbpython: very bath idea security wise ( DOS did that )
[20:19] <apparle> wad: is your card listed in the hardware drivers?
[20:19] <erUSUL> ubuntu_giant: how you installed your graphic drivers
[20:19] <erUSUL> ?
[20:19] <grawity> erUSUL: bad*
[20:20] <syngin01> does anyone if you can change ctr+alt+L to some other combo?
[20:20] <McSteil> ive got a problem, remote X is working so slow these days, but my network connection is absolutely clear....any ideas?
[20:20] <chalcedony> i need to use scp to copy some files to my home computer. the directions say  i need to install open-ssh .. but apt-get install open-ssh isnt working : E: Couldn't find package open-ssh
[20:20] <erUSUL> grawity: lol ;) yes
[20:20] <docmax> i have troubles with ubuntu... i cant play a wmv video with audio.. audio codec is missing
[20:20] <docmax> even with vlc
[20:20] <grawity> chalcedony: It's openssh-server ...
[20:20] <wad> apparle, my card is listed in the docs for that drive I linked too.
[20:20] <chalcedony> grawity, THANK YOU !!
[20:21] <syngin01> preferebly a combo i can use with one hand
[20:21] <a_> my system rebooted. how do I find the name of the installer package which I already downloaded?
[20:21] <docmax> anyone?
[20:21] <erUSUL> docmax: maybe w32codecs do the trick ?
[20:21] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | docmax
[20:22] <a_> my system rebooted. how do I find the name of the installer package which I already downloaded?
[20:22] <trism> docmax: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and you should be fine
[20:22] <snowball> docmax: if sound works for all other apps and you can see the video, is this for all wmv or just one?
[20:22] <apparle> wad: Actually that driver is straight from ATI so..... there is a lot of trouble involved installing it...............ubuntu guys have packed a nicer version of same driver.........that's why I am asking if your card listed in the Hardware drivers window
[20:22] <apparle> wad: I mean is it in SYSTEM | ADMINISTRATION | HARDWARE DRIVERS
[20:22] <wad> apparle, ah, okay, thanks!
[20:23] <snowball> docmax: also try opening in firefox with movie player
[20:23] <trism> docmax: or just the bad and ugly gstreamer packages
[20:24] <wad> apparle, yeah, I go there, but it's just an empty list. It says there are no proprietary drivers available.
[20:25] <wad> apparle, it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system". I need to tell it to add one...
[20:25] <apparle> wad: goto konsole and enter 'sudo apt-get update'
[20:26] <wad> ok
[20:26] <ziomus> guys I am on var/www and i created php file and i want to output it into browser but its not showin
[20:26] <Solar_Flare> hi. I'm trying to backup my ubuntu user data from the live system, but im stuck at copying because of the permissions.
[20:26] <Solar_Flare> any way around that?
[20:26] <ziomus> i installed the LAMP
[20:26] <ziomus> what i have to do
[20:26] <trism> ziomus: http://localhost/file.php ? what do you get as a result in the browser?
[20:27] <snowball> zimous: http://127.0.0.1
[20:27] <ziomus> not found
[20:27] <Jordan_U> Solar_Flare: "sudo cp -r" or with the GUI "gksudo nautilus"
[20:27] <ziomus> and the 127.0.0.1 it works!
[20:27] <Solar_Flare> Jordan_U I tried that. That doesnt allow me to drag and drop it onto another drive...
[20:27] <docmax> but vlc normally plays all microsoft video
[20:28] <Solar_Flare> and when I reload that files into my nextinstall, I'll be having that same problem...
[20:28] <snowball> zimous: http:127.0.0.1/file.php
[20:28] <snowball> zimous: http://127.0.0.1/file.php
[20:28] <ziomus> not found
[20:28] <crohakon> how do I extract a tar file in console?
[20:28] <snowball> ziomus: i think your file is missing or is named different
[20:29] <ziomus> so what i have to do
[20:29] <snowball> ziomus: make: index.php in /var/www/
[20:29] <Jordan_U> Solar_Flare: With gksudo nautilus you start a new nautilus process running as root, you can only copy files between the same nautilus process ( so create a new window from the one that opened when you ran gksudo nautilus and drag into that )
[20:29] <trism> crohakon: just a tar or a tar gz or bz2?
[20:29] <syngin01> tar -x ?
[20:29] <crohakon> tar.gz
[20:29] <Solar_Flare> hmz
[20:29] <snowball> ziomus: in this file: echo 'hello world!!';
[20:29] <trism> crohakon: tar xzvf file.tar.gz
[20:29] <ziomus> can we talk in other chat
[20:29] <snowball> ziomus: delete the index.html file
[20:29] <snowball> ziomus: http://127.0.0.1
[20:30] <Solar_Flare> and when i get that files to my new ubuntu installation, can i somehow reset all the permissions, or is that not needed?
[20:30] <^mNotIntelligent> any your-freedom user out here?
[20:30] <^mNotIntelligent> some issues in ubuntu...
[20:31] <syngin01> is php installed.? put this in a file and load it up: <?php phpinfo() ?>
[20:32] <Clooluss> HI. How do I encrypt a folder? I can right click it, select "encrypt" and it takes me to a "Passwords and Encryption Keys" box that I don't understand
[20:33] <syngin01> think you need to create a key Clooluss
[20:33] <kale> !seen valentin
[20:33] <apparle> wad: is the update over
[20:33] <Travis-42> I have more RAM installed than I need since switching from Windows -- is there anything easy & useful I can do with all of this spare ram to speed things up further?  (e.g. making certain directories use a ramfs)
[20:34] <Clooluss> syngin01: What sort of key? I have a choice between "personal keys", "Trusted Keys", "Other collected keys" and "Passwords"...?
[20:34] <kale> Travis-42: put you swapfile in tmpfs to make swapping faster ;-)
[20:34] <syngin01> go for a personal key provided you are not sharing the file or folder with other Kalisto
[20:34] <kermit> Travis-42: no
[20:35] <ubuntu_giant> Is anybody else having trouble with Metacity?
[20:35] <Travis-42> kale: I don't think my swap gets used much right now anyways (and I adjusted swappiness down), but thanks anyways :-)
[20:35] <syngin01> does anyone if you can change ctr+alt+L to some other combo?
[20:35] <jode> I am running an Acer Aspire 5050 with Ubuntu 9.04 and I am having trouble with sound.  I have all the volumes up but there is no audio.  When I first installed sound did not work, I tweaked it and sound worked I didn't change anything and now sound does not work.  How can I fix this?
[20:36] <ubuntu_giant> syngin01: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
[20:36] <ubuntu_giant> It should be in there.
[20:36] <apparle> wad: is it over
[20:36] <Travis-42> heh ok thanks kermit
[20:36] <Clooluss> Syngin01: OK, that gives me a choice between "Secure shell key", PGP key and password keyring. It says the PGP one is for emails and files
[20:36] <syngin01> ah thanks ubuntu_giant
[20:36] <chrisubu> hi
[20:36] <syngin01> ye, go for PGP
[20:37] <furtano> hi

[20:46] <myron> anyone know why doing an ls of /etc/pam.d directory would report with a "blinking" system-auth entry?

[20:46] <mariangela> org
[20:46] <wad> apparle, sorry, I had to go to the bathroom.
[20:46] <a_> how do I find the name of a file?
[20:47] <Sandy80d> boot gets stuck at "* starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron     _" anyone?
[20:47] <wad> apparle, the update is done, no changes. I'm trying a couple of other things now.
[20:47] <furtano> apparle, so now he tries to remove the paket but he says no way its unstable
[20:47] <a_> help!!!!!!
[20:47] <eniacpx> a_: What do you need to find?
[20:47] <a_> I dont know the name of the file
[20:47] <eniacpx> a_: What file?
[20:48] <a_> vmware
[20:48] <gNewPower> hi guys. has anyone used a USB external hard drive (like the Western Digital Passport) with Ubuntu? are there any known issues with using such drives?
[20:48] <Guest32440> can someone tell me, what "gdm[2440]: CRITICAL:
[20:48] <Guest32440>            gdm_config_value_get_bool: assertion 'value_type->type ==
[20:48] <Guest32440>            GDM_CONFIG_VALUE_BOOL' failed" means?
[20:48] <Guest32440> sry -.-
[20:48] <maurizio> host non trovato?
[20:48] <eniacpx> a_: Like the file you would use to run vmware?
[20:48] <apparle> wad: after the update was over did you see the hardware driver manager
[20:48] <will_> anyone running PS3 media sever and could help me install it?
[20:48] <apparle> !info paket
[20:48] <a_> I need to install the .bundle
[20:49] <eniacpx> a_: But you can't find it on your computer?
[20:49] <a_> right
[20:49] <wad> apparle, still nothing in the driver manager. be right back.
[20:49] <ZykoticK9> gNewPower, havent use a WD-Passport - but i've never had any trouble getting USB HDs to work in Ubuntu
[20:50] <gNewPower> ZykoticK9, thanks!  can you recommend a model?
[20:50] <rezd> gNewPower: I've not had issue with USB drives on Ubuntu
[20:50] <fiver22> gNewPower -I'm using a fairly old external Maxtor -plug and play. no issues.
[20:50] <gNewPower> rezd, thanks
[20:50] <ZykoticK9> gNewPower, pretty much ANY USB HD will work - it's all up to you!
[20:50] <tem_> i have a WD passport that works fine.
[20:51] <gNewPower> ZykoticK9, rezd, Fiver22 - thanks!
[20:51] <docmax> ok guys... check this video... i cant play it on ubuntu with ANY videoplayer!!!! (mplayer, vlc, ...)
[20:51] <docmax> http://www.tecops.de/filme/film_itspezialisten_1024x576.wmv
[20:51] <myron> apparently it is a dead link.....
[20:51] <docmax> in windows no problem
[20:51] <eniacpx> a_: Did you download it from the vmware site?
[20:51] <Sandy80d> boot gets stuck at "* starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron     _" anyone?
[20:51] <a_> eniacpx: yes
[20:52] <ikonia> docmax: working here
[20:52] <Lordie> good evening
[20:52] <rezd> docmax: works for me with vlc.
[20:52] <ZykoticK9> docmax, video plays with mplayer-plugin for firefox -- but no sound :(
[20:52] <lulika> how do you make a while loop that loops while a process is not started?
[20:52] <eniacpx> a_: Go to the terminal and type this: find ~/ | grep bundle
[20:52] <lulika> in bash
[20:52] <ikonia> docmax: works in a web browser
[20:52] <Solar_F> can someone tell me, what "gdm[2440]: CRITICAL: gdm_config_value_get_bool: assertion 'value_type->type == GDM_CONFIG_VALUE_BOOL' failed" means?
[20:53] <eniacpx> a_: I am sure there is a better way to do this through the graphical interface, but I am a console man.
[20:53] <docmax> rezd, with sound?
[20:53] <docmax> i get an error in vlc with sound
[20:53] <ZykoticK9> docmax, "Cannot find codec for audio format 0x162" is the mplayer audio output
[20:53] <rezd> docmax: no sound though: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `wmap'
[20:53] <Lordie> i've a (hopefully) quick question, i'm about to decide to install ubuntu on my 2nd comp and the goal of the OS is to serve as a fully fledged web server, however, i'm not quite sure what version of ubuntu (desktop or server edition) that will be the best, thanks
[20:53] <docmax> and vlc says missing "wmap" codec
[20:54] <cHarNe2> to begin w/, VLC has always been browken and will always be.. ;)
[20:54] <docmax> in windows vlc works!
[20:54] <docmax> i installed ubuntu restricted plugins
[20:54] <BullornU> can i install #! CrunchBang openbox into my Ubuntu or do I have to create a fresh partition and reinstall everything new?
[20:54] <apparle> At my place VLC works fine
[20:54] <docmax> what can i do?
[20:54] <docmax> apparle, with sound?
[20:54] <ikonia> BullornU: do not mix packages from other distros
[20:54] <Chousuke> wmap is not supported by VLC on non-windows platforms
[20:55] <Chousuke> on windows it works because it can use the windows codecs
[20:55] <Chousuke> but the codecs aren't available on Linux :/
[20:55] <a_> how can you be a console man when you have to type in all that junk?
[20:55] <ikonia> it's a windows 9 video codec according to the plugin search
[20:55] <ZykoticK9> docmax, are you using 64bit?  see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=487246 - no solution other then reverting to 32bit OS, or running a chroot
[20:55] <docmax> yeah 64bit =)
[20:56] <Chousuke> wmap is audio though. wmv9 VIDEO works, audio doesn't /:
[20:56] <a_> anyway, I found the file through the console
[20:56] <a_> now how do I install it?
[20:56] <Chousuke> then again, that's pretty much the only audio codec that VLC doesn't support :P
[20:57] <Chousuke> I guess you'll have to wait 'till it's reverse-engineered
[20:57] <acerpup> hello all
[20:57] <Sandy80d> boot gets stuck at "* starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron     _" anyone?
[20:57] <jode> I am having a horrible time getting the sound to work on an Acer Aspire 5050.  I can't find anything in the forums.  Can anyone her help me debug this problem?
[20:57] <docmax> there are so many damn restrictions on 64 bit machines...
[20:57] <acerpup> does ubuntu not come in a base system iso anymore or minimal? Im trying to build my own custom version of it
[20:57] <trism> acerpup: the alternate cd allows a command line install
[20:58] <acerpup> alternate cd?
[20:58] <acerpup> i only saw desktop and server
[20:58] <peanut3> hi
[20:58] <eniacpx> a_: I started using Linux when the console was the fastest way to do things, so I am used to it now. You shoudl be able to just run: sudo filename.bundle, if you cant run it, you'll have to make it executable first: chmod 770 filename.bundle, of course you replace the filename with the one you found.
[20:58] <ZykoticK9> acerpup, perhaps this is what your looking for? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[20:58] <trism> acerpup: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate
[20:58] <acerpup> ty
[20:58] <acerpup> ty
[20:58] <Breetai> Hey, I am running kamric and I added kde-desktop how do I get the ubuntu splash during boot back? the old update-alternatives usplash-artwork.so does not do it. Thanks for the help if anyone knows.
[20:58] <iceroot> eniacpx: to make a file execuatble 770 is not a good idea, instead use chmod +x
[20:58] <will_> hello i'm new to ubuntu and loving it so far, i am having trouble installing PS3 media sever. if any one could help i would appreciate it very much
[20:58] <Pici> Breetai : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[20:59] <Breetai> Thanks
[20:59] <Gratz474> are there any torrents anywhere for the RC ?
[20:59] <iceroot> Gratz474: at ubuntu.com
[20:59] <iceroot> Gratz474: also #ubuntu+1
[20:59] <phoenixz> Hi there, I have a Huawei E160 3G mobile broadband USB modem, trying to get it to run in Karmic.. How do I do this? Network manager seems to recognize it (the mobile broadband tab goes from disabled to enabled when I connect it) but then?
[20:59] <tottiq> you'll find a lot in ubuntu.com
[21:00] <iceroot> phoenixz: #ubuntu+1
[21:00] <phoenixz> I select add, I get GSM or CDMA.. Which of the two should I select?
[21:00] <eniacpx> a_: listen to iceroot :) chmod +x is a safer option than 770.
[21:00] <Gratz474> I dont see torretns anywhere
[21:01] <peanut3> i have xubuntu and i would like to install an external soundcard is it hard?
[21:01] <ZykoticK9> Gratz474, http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-rc-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[21:01] <iceroot> peanut3: depeding on the soundcard
[21:01] <docmax> peanut3, its peanuts...
[21:01] <eniacpx> iceroot: thanks
[21:02] <iceroot> peanut3: normaly, just plugin the soundcard
[21:02] <peanut3> i thought so but i have no sound
[21:02] <docmax> is pulseaudio client available for windows?
[21:02] <jastonas> Hi, can I ask a question here or is there a channel for help? (sorry iceroot and peanut3 for interupting..)
[21:02] <iceroot> jastonas: this is the support channel for ubuntu (not karmic) so fell free to ask the channel
[21:02] <peanut3> np jastonas
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> Gratz474, sorry that was the link to AMD64 (for myself really), if you want i386 check site.
[21:03] <a_> please tell me exactly what to type. the name of the file is "VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle"
[21:03] <peanut3> my sound card is usb - soundblaster live
[21:03] <Kha0sK1d> is it possible to download a snapshot of the ubuntu repository for installing from it offline?
[21:03] <jastonas> do you know if there is a way to connect my iphone wirelessly to ubuntu and share the network?
[21:03] <iceroot> !aptoncd | Kha0sK1d
[21:03] <a_> thats not including the path name
[21:03] <jastonas> ubuntu is connected to the internet, and i want to connect iphone to ubuntu so it can browse the net etc....
[21:04] <iceroot> Kha0sK1d: maybe that is what you are searching for
[21:04] <eniacpx> a_: Make sure you are in the path of the file, or you include it: sudo VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle
[21:04] <a_> jeez, that is so slow
[21:04] <eniacpx> a_: If it doesn't execute: chmod +x VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.bundle, then try the first command again.
[21:04] <peanut3> another question :  i need a light linux for an old pc (amd k6 350) - what would you advise me?
[21:04] <Kha0sK1d> iceroot: not just the packages i've downloaded, I mean every package available in the repo..is this possible?
[21:04] <BullornU> how can i remove old kernels from the bootup menu?
[21:04] <HuXu> jastonas: is your iphone jailbroken?
[21:04] <BullornU> ive got a long list by now..
[21:05] <cHarNe2> peanut3: a light dist?
[21:05] <Kha0sK1d> BullornU: edit /boot/menu.lst
[21:05] <eniacpx> a_: The vmware install is pretty intensive.
[21:05] <peanut3> yes a light distribution
[21:05] <iceroot> Kha0sK1d: you can mirror the repo, so you have a lokal repo   deb localhost jaunty main
[21:05] <iceroot> Kha0sK1d: but dont know the needed steps, sorry
[21:05] <cHarNe2> peanut3: chechout archlinux
[21:05] <Kha0sK1d> BullornU: or i think it is /boot/grub/menu.lst... it should have instructions in that file how to comment out old kernels
[21:05] <iceroot> a_: why not using virtualbox?
[21:05] <Darkus> hi
[21:06] <peanut3> cHarNe2 great because i tried dsl and i couldn't install  it
[21:06] <iceroot> !dsl | peanut3
[21:06] <Darkus> how to have the new kernel 2.6.31??
[21:06] <a_> iceroot: doesn't virtualbox only support early OS's like windows 3.0?
[21:06] <iceroot> !damnsmalllinux | peanut3
[21:06] <maco> a_: no way
[21:06] <iceroot> peanut3: search for damn small linux on google
[21:06] <iceroot> a_: virtualbox supportes all os
[21:06] <maco> a_: virtualbox runs on windows, osx, linux, ..maybe bsd? and definitely emulates all of those
[21:06] <iceroot> a_: much better then vmware
[21:06] <a_> I need to install Mac OSX
[21:07] <peanut3> iceroot i downloaded that but it didn't work (ripped a cd and booted with it)
[21:07] <iceroot> a_: ppc-version?
[21:07] <Kha0sK1d> iceroot: thanks I'll look into it
[21:07] <peanut3> virtualbox supportes all os? good to know!
[21:07] <iceroot> a_: you cant run powerpc with virtualisations
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> a_, MacOSX is NOT support by virtualbox (legally it's not supported by any VM software)
[21:07] <iceroot> a_: on x86
[21:07] <Noose> hey
[21:08] <will_> anyone running PS3 media sever and could help me install it?
[21:08] <Darkus> how to have the new kernel 2.6.31??
[21:08] <a_> yes, a powerpc version
[21:08] <iceroot> a_: not with vmware, not with vitualbox
[21:08] <trism> Darkus: karmic has 2.6.31 (it will be released next week)
[21:08] <iceroot> a_: buy a mac with powerpc
[21:08] <a_> i'm on a mac with powerpc
[21:08] <peanut3> can someone post a link where i can download a dist (archlinux or dsl) that is valid please
[21:09] <peanut3> the torrent thing would do
[21:09] <a_> but my mac os has been slow, so my friend got me onto linux
[21:09] <iceroot> a_: hm i dont think there are ppc-versions from virtualbox or vmware
[21:09] <trism> peanut3: you could try puppy linux too, very fast although it bugs me that you run as root by default
[21:09] <maco> peanut3: umm why not go to those distro's IRC channels or webpages instead of asking ubuntu people?
[21:09] <maco> *distros'
[21:09] <Gratz474> wow torrent sooo much better
[21:09] <peanut3> because i downloaded 2 dsl distrib and burn a cd each time and it didn't work
[21:09] <Gratz474> i like how 75 percent of the clients are running utorrent
[21:09] <iceroot> a_: maybe have a look at #vbox
[21:10] <Gratz474> downloading ubuntu
[21:10] <iceroot> a_: or #vmware
[21:11] <peanut3> ok nevermind
[21:11] <acerpup> maco: hello
[21:12] <mzelem> I would like to set up some kind of central authentication for multiple virtual servers to handle e-mail, ftp, apache, and ssh users for multiple domain names... Is this a good use for openLDAP?
[21:12] <iceroot> mzelem: its a perfect use
[21:13] <Sandy80d> boot gets stuck at "* starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron     _" anyone?
[21:13] <a_> there is no #vmware room. what should I do then to be able to run Mac OSX as well as ubuntu?
[21:13] <iceroot> a_: read the manual from vmware for using on ppc
[21:13] <acerpup> if you do a minimal install will wifi still work?
[21:14] <iceroot> acerpup: what is a minimal installation for you?
[21:14] <mzelem> iceroot: ok, great, the problem is that I'm having trouble finding clear documentation on how to set it up this way for multiple domains... I've found lots of documentation for open ldap, but it seems it's all assuming you have one domian. I'm basically trying to run some sort of web hosting environment so I'll have many domain names
[21:15] <acerpup> ubuntu with lxde or a light window manager but wifi support, gnu compiler and a browser, irssi etc
[21:15] <docmax> why do i have tearing in ubuntu videos and not in windows?
[21:15] <iceroot> mzelem: dc=example,dc=org   dc=example2,dc=org  as ldap-base
[21:15] <iceroot> mzelem: also have a look at #slapd
[21:15] <eniacpx> docmax: When outputting to TV? Or on your computer?
[21:15] <docmax> computer
[21:15] <acerpup> iceroot
[21:16] <mzelem> iceroot: thank you, that helps a lot
[21:16] <acerpup> did that answer for you?
[21:16] <eniacpx> docmax: Nevermind then. :)
[21:16] <naftilos76> hi, can anyone tell me how i can rip in mp3 format with rhytnbox?
[21:16] <iceroot> acerpup: important is that the card will be detected, the gui is not important for that, so if you are using the ubuntu-base, its no problem
[21:16] <naftilos76> there is no such option
[21:16] <pflents> I had choppy video in Ubuntu too.
[21:16] <docmax> i'd like to replace my windows 7 system but there are some things that bother me =(
[21:17] <acerpup> iceroot
[21:17] <acerpup> FloodBot3: itll be a atheros
[21:17] <acerpup> oops
[21:17] <iceroot> !wifi | acerpup
[21:17] <Guest93891> k
[21:17] <docmax> also wlan connection sometimes disconnects, but not in windows =(
[21:17] <pflents> Are there any 7.10 repositories active any more?
[21:18] <docmax> what can i do?
[21:18] <iceroot> pflents: no, not official. its out of support
[21:18] <pflents> oh
[21:19] <ubuntu__> wow i ve got new ubuntu
[21:19] <iceroot> docmax: put your chipset on google with your ubuntu-version and see if others had the same problem
[21:19] <nightshade> anybody know where I can find an irc channel about cars (tuning)?
[21:19] <ubuntu__> irc mix
[21:19] <iceroot> !ot | nightshade
[21:20] <nightshade> I'll leave once somebody points me in the right direction.
[21:20] <iceroot> nightshade: as i said, this is not the right place
[21:20] <nightshade> yeah, but where is the right place?
[21:21] <mkquist> how can a hard drive name be changed on the desktop
[21:21] <iceroot> nightshade: google
[21:21] <nightshade> looked there, but all i found was forums
[21:21] <pflents> g i
[21:21] <docmax> also: network is faster on windows than ubuntu, why is that?
[21:21] <iceroot> nightshade: and now stop that here please
[21:22] <X-Oki> ver irc.arnes.si
[21:22] <DJones> nightshade: The best place for you to ask would be in #freenode
[21:22] <pflents> ubuntu has to adapt to Windows network
[21:22] <ZykoticK9> mkquist, what format EXT3/NTFS is your HD?
[21:23] <mkquist> ZykoticK9: ext3
[21:23] <Sandy80d> boot gets stuck at "* starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron     _" anyone?
[21:23] <fiver22> "lspci -v" lists my soundcard (C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 ) but I'm still not able to get any sound out of it. Does the fact that it's listed there mean that the driver/module is installed? Any ideas why I can't get sound out of it? Sound off the motherboard does work. This is a PCI card.
[21:23] <ZykoticK9> mkquist, if it's ext then use "sudo e2label /dev/WHATEVER NewName" - probably best if it's not mounted when you run this
[21:23] <lesharc> hello
[21:24] <mkquist> ZykoticK9: ill give it go thnx
[21:24] <brianherman> http://picasaweb.google.com/cschlaeger/JapanLinuxSymposium#5395400000458161906
[21:25] <mkquist> ZykoticK9: tried it, not working, name on desktop is just like 112gig, not a name...
[21:26] <mkquist> ZykoticK9: weird because I have two named and two that are just numbers...
[21:26] <ZykoticK9> mkquist, e2label is the command for naming drives - it "might" actually not work until you reboot (strange for a linux thing i know)
[21:27] <arleslie> How do I install .NET framework for WINE?
[21:27] <sebsebseb> arleslie: You don't
[21:27] <ZykoticK9> arleslie, see http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3754
[21:28] <sebsebseb> ZykoticK9: oh it can be done?
[21:28] <ZykoticK9> sebsebseb, arleslie I've certainly never done it myself - but it's gold on winedb
[21:28] <JAMD4561> Could someone help me here?
[21:28] <JAMD4561> I am trying to change my password but the password box in about me keeps hanging on me.
[21:29] <ZykoticK9> JAMD4561, try running "passwd" in a terminal
[21:29] <iceroot> JAMD4561: tried passwd in terminal?
[21:29] <user2277> how do i upgrade to new ubuntu release
[21:30] <JAMD4561> No I do not know all the commands in Linux yet I am more familiar with CMD.exe
[21:30] <maco> user2277: which are you on and to which doyou want to go?
[21:30] <user2277> i am using jaunty jackalope and wish to go to 9.10
[21:30] <maco> JAMD4561: just run "passwd" then enter your current password once and new password twice. it wont show the text or *s but itll go
[21:30] <iceroot> !karmic | user2277
[21:30] <lucasicf> aew
[21:31] <JAMD4561> It worked thank you very much
[21:31] <maco> user2277: ok then you run "gksudo update-manager -d"
[21:31] <iceroot> :)
[21:31] <astrojp> user2277: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910overview
[21:31] <maco> user2277: and support for 9.10 (which is stil in development) is in #ubuntu+1
[21:31] <astrojp> is 9.10 more stable? 9.04 has been horrible. :)
[21:31] <iceroot> astrojp: its not final
[21:31] <iceroot> astrojp: #ubuntu+1
[21:31] <acerpup> maco: you're busy today aren't you
[21:32] <rasiq> Release Candidate  is out of box - http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/
[21:32] <user2277> i hope this will preserve all my pictures and files
[21:32] <iceroot> rasiq: rc != final
[21:32] <maco> astrojp: technically its release candidate, not the final release. its stability is, as usual, dependent upon your hardware
[21:33] <maco> astrojp: however, at this late stage, i think its safe to assume it will not eat your babies or kill your puppies
[21:33] <rasiq> yes.. as maco says..
[21:33] <rasiq> surely better than beta..
[21:33] <rasiq> but not final yet..
[21:33] <rasiq> need lil adjustments..
[21:33] <frandieguez> Anyone know how to set up a apple remote???
[21:34] <acerpup> maco: have you ever done a minimal install?
[21:34] <acerpup> this isn't the channel to ask
[21:34] <maco> well more of "if nobody comes up with a show-stopper bug in the next week, this will be final"
[21:34] <acerpup> go to #macosx
[21:34] <maco> acerpup: yes
[21:34] <maco> acerpup: he may mean in ubuntu....
[21:34] <acerpup> maco: did your wifi work?
[21:34] <acerpup> i am putting it on a netbook, acer
[21:34] <maco> acerpup: yeah. i did a server install then installed X, then did networking from command line
[21:34] <stinky> Hello, one of the biggest reasons I switched to Linux is so I can have big Icons... May I ask , How can I enable my desktop icons to be large like 96x96 pixels? Thank you very much in advanced :D
[21:35] <stinky> I have gnome btw
[21:35] <Scala> I'm doing some simple webdev with lampp, but every file I create in opt/lampp/htdocs is read only and I don't have permission to even create folders without sudo-ing.  Is there a way for me to change this?
[21:35] <acerpup> maco: so instead of the minimal cd you think I should get the server iso?
[21:35] <lucasicf> how can i change my IP address of eth0 on kubuntu?
[21:35] <acerpup> there's this speedreader on fox news, this guy is unreal. reads 1500 pages in 40 min
[21:35] <cdocbo> hi all, can anyone give me a website/how-to on how I could setup a UPnP server such as mediatomb to work across two local subnets with NATing?
[21:35] <maco> acerpup: server cd lets you do a minimal install, but it gives a different kernel that doenst work on very old hardware. are you referring to mini.iso?
[21:36] <acerpup> maco: yes mini
[21:36] <maco> acerpup: mini.iso is for installation over a wired network
[21:36] <Kuifje111> are there any good download managers for rapidshare premium users?
[21:36] <acerpup> I figured so
[21:36] <erUSUL> lucasicf: in terminal ? sudo ifconfig eth0 newip ?
[21:36] <maco> acerpup: the final result supports wireless, but not the installer
[21:36] <s0101> how can i add a personal message when i block a website through DD-wrt
[21:36] <s0101> ?
[21:36] <Flannel> maco, acerpup: alternate CD will allow you to install a GUI-less system as well.
[21:36] <acerpup> puppy linux couldn't work with my atheros so Im going to ubuntu!
[21:37] <AlphaWaves> hello
[21:37] <Scunizi> I'm trying  "sudo find <directory>/ -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \; " ... What is the "d" switch do?
[21:37] <maco> Flannel: i was young an naive ;)
[21:37] <s0101> how can i add a personal message that comes up instead of acces prohibithed in dd-wrt?
[21:37] <acerpup> maco: i am just beginning this journey, bought some command line books
[21:38] <ZykoticK9> s0101, try in channel ##dd-wrt and or #dd-wrt
[21:38] <skx> is there some more or less comprehensive list of popular and useful repositories for ubuntu? so that I could add them and don't have to do it every time I want to install something?
[21:39] <acerpup> maco: I was just wondering is wubi even a good way to install ubuntu? is it more like a frugal install?
[21:39] <PacketCollision> skx: i rarely have to add repos
[21:39] <maco> acerpup: its fine, just make sure you defrag windows first so theres a large enough contiguous space
[21:40] <Scunizi> acerpup: a better way would be by using virtualbox and just virtualize the full install.. kinda what wubi does but more controllable.. and reversable.
[21:40] <lucasicf> thanks erUSUL.. but do you know any graphic solution with kde?
[21:40] <Joker_-_> is there a way of having multiple groups having access to a single directory, with different access (read/write/execute) as in ntfs shares?
[21:40] <skx> PacketCollision, I added recently one from google, edubuntu, one with opera, there are probably more, I would like to add them right away
[21:40] <erUSUL> lucasicf: ask in kubuntu . i use ubuntu
[21:40] <PacketCollision> Joker_-_: add every group to another group, and set the group on the directory to that meta-group
[21:41] <Joker_-_> PacketCollision: oh... makes sense. thanks
[21:41] <gbrethen> question about ubuntu 9.10 - why does it keep freezing after about 10 mins?  is this a known issue?'
[21:41] <Sahkolihaa> That's better. :|
[21:41] <PacketCollision> skx: there isn't a comprehensive list that I know of, but you're welcome to start one.
[21:41] <skx> PacketCollision, thanks!
[21:41] <lucasicf> erUSUL: i mean kde in ubuntu.. i also use kubuntu
[21:41] <PacketCollision> Most people don't want to add a bunch of untrusted repos
[21:41] <ZykoticK9> gbrethen, ask same question in #ubuntu+1
[21:41] <Joker_-_> PacketCollision: altho, it wouldnt work to give different access...
[21:41] <gbrethen> k, thx
[21:42] <Joker_-_> PacketCollision: say, I want a group to have read only acces, while I want an other group to have full access...
[21:42] <Joker_-_> PacketCollision: as in developpers vs users or admins vs users, etc...
[21:42] <erUSUL> lucasicf: i mean ask #kubuntu the channel
[21:42] <Joker_-_> or admins vs devs...
[21:42] <lucasicf> erUSUL: sorry, i haven't understood.. i'm going there now
[21:43] <erUSUL> lucasicf: my fault i did not typed the #
[21:43] <ZykoticK9> Joker_-_, create the "super" group you want and give that group full permission, then set "other" to have read permission
[21:43] <Sahkolihaa> Just installed Ubuntu after getting tired of KDE on Kubuntu crashing so much. Must admit, great work.
[21:43] <acerpup> maco: is fluxbuntu pretty much a dead project now?
[21:43] <PacketCollision> Joker_-_: i have emulated that sort of thing via letting admins su over to a specialized user that owned the dir, and the devs are assigned to the group
[21:43] <maco> acerpup: no idea
[21:43] <PacketCollision> but if you want to do it properly, use ACLs
[21:43] <Joker_-_> ZykoticK9: yeah thats what I was thinking.. I was just wondering if there was a "buildin" feature meant for that... I would call that a work around.
[21:44] <Joker_-_> PacketCollision: humk... sounds clever.
[21:44] <PacketCollision> Joker_-_: clever often means fragile though
[21:44] <Joker_-_> PacketCollision: I'll probably stick with ZykoticK9's idea of making a group "super" and let "others" have read&exec...
[21:45] <malko> hi
[21:45] <PacketCollision> really, what ZykoticK9 suggested is the best unless you need to keep "others" out
[21:45] <ks3> Joker_-_: there's getfacl and setfacl, but never had to use them
[21:45] <acerpup> brb
[21:45] <PacketCollision> yeah, and ACLs if you need fine-grained control
[21:45] <Joker_-_> ks3: yeah thats what I was reading about but got... you know... tired? :P
[21:45] <s0101> how can i add a personal message that comes up instead of acces prohibithed in dd-wrt?
[21:46] <ZykoticK9> s0101, ask in #dd-wrt channel - this is Ubuntu support
[21:46] <PacketCollision> s0101: have you considered asking in the dd-wrt chan?
[21:46] <Joker_-_> ks3: found it too complex (altho i'm pretty sure it's not) for the efforts I wanted to give on that, given the fact that it's only for my home local network ;)
[21:46] <ks3> Joker_-_: ah, yeah - it's probably a bit overkill for that
[21:47] <JAMD4561> Is there any easy way to convert a windows installation into a virtual drive for a virtual machine?
[21:47] <JAMD4561> I am trying to get rid of windows on my laptop but I still need Windows for gaming
[21:47] <Joker_-_> Thanks for the inputs guys.
[21:48] <s0101> i have tried but that channel is dead :(
[21:48] <Joker_-_> *screening off*
[21:48] <PacketCollision> JAMD4561: virtual machine won't work for gaming, unless you're playing really old DOS games or something
[21:48] <ZykoticK9> JAMD4561, not sure about "easy" but VirtualBox can do physical partitions, research VirtualBox + RAW in manual
[21:48] <stinky> I have Multiple sclerosis, and it is hard for me to aim at tiny icons, how can I make icons or launcher buttons on my desktop like 96x96 or bigger? tia
[21:48] <PacketCollision> but yes, there are various tools depending on what VM software you're using
[21:48] <a_> how do I allow my machine to duel boot to both mac osx and ubuntu?
[21:49] <ZykoticK9> JAMD4561, ya forget "gaming", it will run solitare and pinball if that's what your after ;)
[21:49] <JAMD4561> lol
[21:50] <gOLDfeesh> I get /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnbase when I'm compiling a tool. The tool is not in the repos. I was just wondering where I could find libnabse?
[21:50] <stinky> ZykoticK9, try urban terror, tremulous, nexuiz, and true combat elite
[21:50] <roj> hi I am trying to install 9.10 from the livecd but if i select the install or try options my monitor goes out of range before i get an x session i've tried the f4 safe mode but this doesn't seem to have any effect
[21:50] <stinky> all free games
[21:50] <ZykoticK9> stinky, oh i got OpenArena "working" with VBox -- just not overly well.
[21:50] <stinky> oh, you are in a VM? sorry ZykoticK9
[21:51] <ZykoticK9> stinky, it's not me, it's JAMD4561 that wanted Windows in a VM, "for gaming"
[21:51] <stinky> oh,lol
[21:52] <tiagoboldt> Hi, I have a pc with karmic by my side, and I'm not being able to use the wlan, due to some problem with rt61pci (I guess), anyone aware of anything??
[21:52] <stinky> try VMware, they have a pretty good directX to open gl thingie... Cedega is the best though imho
[21:52] <ZykoticK9> tiagoboldt, ask same question in #ubuntu+1
[21:52] <tiagoboldt> tks ZykoticK9 :)
[21:52] <JAMD4561> I know about Cedega but I hate subscription things
[21:53] <jwfoxjr> is it better to upgrade by reinstalling or by using apt-get or update-manager.
[21:53] <stinky> wine is pretty impressive, I have almost all my steam games working
[21:53] <ChrisFVG> list
[21:53] <jwfoxjr> are there any advantages by doing it through apt-get, etc?
[21:53] <stinky> aptitude is better I hear
[21:54] <MYYZTIK> could someone lead me to  updated guide to dual boot  XP with ubuntu installed first. Thanks everyone
[21:54] <ZykoticK9> JAMD4561, many games will play with wine (check http://appdb.winehq.org/ if your games are listed)
[21:54] <stinky> jwfoxjr, use apt-get when scripting
[21:54] <JAMD4561> Ok thank you
[21:55] <jwfoxjr> stinky: I've used apt-get ever since I started working with debian based distros
[21:55] <stinky> JAMD4561, I use it with cron to apt-get update every morning
[21:55] <stinky> jwfoxjr, me too
[21:55] <ChrisFVG> ditto
[21:55] <stinky> unless i am shopping for new software, then I use synaptic
[21:55] <a_> someone please help me!!!
[21:56] <stinky> a_ what is your question?
[21:56] <stinky> a_ just ask
[21:56] <jwfoxjr> so I'm guessing that if I upgrade from a running system, do get all the new gnome defaults in karmic, I'll have to blow away my gnome settings...
[21:56] <ZykoticK9> JAMD4561, also you might be interested in PlayOnLinux - it's a GUI frontend to install several MS Games
[21:56] <a_> I want to make it so that I can have the option of booting to either mac osx or ubuntu at startup
[21:56] <IdleOne> !dualboot
[21:56]  * jwfoxjr has never upgraded "online", I've always just installed off the cd with a good back of my home dir
[21:57] <ChrisFVG> dont you just Install mac then Linux?
[21:57] <shane2peru> !flash
[21:57] <ChrisFVG> Grub should Set that up Normally
[21:57] <JAMD4561> Thank you for all of these great tips
[21:57] <MYYZTIK> any guide with ubuntu installed first? for dual boot winblows
[21:58]  * Take0n kalispera
[21:58] <stinky> a_ yea, just use grub to do that the installer automatically will give you grub
[21:58] <IdleOne> MYYZTIK: you mean windows. after installing windows you will need to !fixgrub
[21:58] <ZykoticK9> MYYZTIK, just an FYI if you install windows second, it will remove grub - there are ways to fix this after though.
[21:59] <ChrisFVG> true :P has to learn that the hard way
[21:59] <stinky> yea, i always do windoze first
[21:59] <mc_fail> MYYZTIK sudo grub-install
[21:59] <jwfoxjr> no dual-boots for me - VirtualBox ftw
[21:59] <shane2peru> on this web site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash  I click the link under "Ubuntu 9.04 Juanty" and it doesn't work???  Any ideas?
[21:59] <Animagladius> Huhu.
[22:00] <a_> is grub on the link that ubottu gave me?
[22:00] <ChrisFVG> RABLE!
[22:00] <MYYZTIK> yeah I know it over writes grub I just dont want to have to back everything up blah blah then install window then ubuntu I rather spend alittle extra time and just install windows
[22:00] <shane2peru> to whom would I report a ubuntu community document website error?  That is pretty lame.  I think it was an attempt to make a Suse style web install thing
[22:01] <ChrisFVG> if you've got a Duel core just.. Vrbox it
[22:01] <ChrisFVG> thats what ive done
[22:01] <ChrisFVG> works like a Charm

[22:05] <maco> shane2peru: its in the partner repository. just make sure thats enabled in system -> admn -> software sources....and..yeah
[22:05] <shane2peru> maco: ok, thanks

[22:13] <linxeh> phoenixz: yes, so its working - fill in the number, username and password
[22:14] <linuxdude96> look under settings, im using empathy soo........
[22:14] <Kalculus> When you use sudo, how come it lets you run a command with root privileges, but it doesn't require the root password?  I'd expect an entry in /etc/sudoers, but I don't see one
[22:14] <ZykoticK9> !repeat | iholst
[22:14] <phoenixz> linxeh: Which I don't have.. I got a package (its from my work) with the modem, a SIM card, and a manual (for windows, duh) that just said, install driver, thats it.. No phone number, nothing..
[22:14] <erUSUL> Kalculus: you are covered by the admin entry in sudoers
[22:14] <linxeh> phoenixz: the number is likely *99# or similar, but the username and password are likely controlled by your isp. you might find you can get away without a username/password
[22:14] <erUSUL> Kalculus: by default the user that installs ubuntu is added to that group
[22:15] <ck773> khalilkhan: follow the instructions here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/
[22:15] <Kalculus> erUSUL: ohh.. I see.. interesting
[22:15] <linxeh> phoenixz: what telco is it with ?
[22:15] <phoenixz> linxeh: I'll give it a try..
[22:15] <DeFi> hi everyone, can anyone tell me why "ip route add default via (gateway ip) dev ppp0 table T1" would return "RTNETLINK answers: No such process" ?
[22:15] <phoenixz> linxeh: Telcel (Mexico)
[22:15] <erUSUL> Kalculus: so if you want someone else has the same powers you only have to add it to admin
[22:15] <erUSUL> Kalculus: and not fiddle with sudoers
[22:15] <linuxdude96> !ubuntu 9.10
[22:15] <Kalculus> erUSUL: ah.. ok thanks
[22:15] <phoenixz> linxeh: I do have a PIN and PUK code, on a letter that came with it.. Should I fill in those values?
[22:16] <mc_fail> DeFi show netstat -nr
[22:16] <erUSUL> !9.10
[22:16] <ck773> khalilkhan: after you boot into single user mode, you should be able to ls the home directory and find your username
[22:16] <linuxdude96> !ubuntu
[22:16] <JAMD4561> lol, that thing is very specific about how you term things
[22:16] <linxeh> phoenixz: PIN and PUK shouldnt be necessary
[22:16] <linxeh> phoenixz: http://www.pixelado.org/2008/11/telcel-3g-con-linux/ has passwords in their config file that might be useful, dunno
[22:17] <linuxdude96> it got a good one

[22:17] <Pirate_Hunter> trying to get pidgin yahoo messenger working, however, it goes in a loop trying to connect, wondering if there is a way to get ymail account to work?
[22:17] <DeFi> mc_fail: http://paste2.org/p/480067 -- but i more want to know the reason, since im writing a script to do this routing and when i run it, it gives that error...
[22:17] <linuxdude96> !pidgin
[22:18] <Pirate_Hunter> linuxdude96: that is not what I asked
[22:18] <phoenixz> linxeh: well, for one, I have the entry configured, but then when selecting it from the list (Kubuntu, by the way), it won't let me select it, almost as if the entry has been disabled..
[22:19] <linuxdude96> sorry, just love the new bot
[22:19] <linuxdude96> you could alternatively install empathy
[22:19] <Pirate_Hunter> linuxdude96: not new bot same bot, hmmm, pretty sure its the same
[22:19] <erUSUL> !yahoo
[22:20] <linuxdude96> first time i have seen the bot
[22:20] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: but that was a month or so back....
[22:20] <ks3> DeFi: What is the IP address you're trying to use for your default gateway?
[22:20] <DeFi> its been here a long, loooong time linuxdude96 :P
[22:20] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: new version of pidgin (in backports) should have no problems now
[22:20] <DeFi> ks3: 196.209.22.1
[22:20] <Pirate_Hunter> linuxdude96: i could but dont wish I need all my im in one place it is just a case of understanding why it isn't working, everyone in #pidgin is currently afk so i have to ask here for solution
[22:21] <nuvan> is there a way to make something happen automatically when I connect to a network?
[22:21] <DeFi> ks3, heres the python script i've written to set up the routing, when i do the routing manually, there are no errors... http://paste2.org/p/480073
[22:21] <bp|> !botabuse | badp
[22:22] <bp|> Thanks ubottu
[22:22] <ks3> DeFi: Your routing table has that IP on ppp1... could possibly be causing that error
[22:22] <Pirate_Hunter> erUSUL: i am using the backport for hardy -  Installed: 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1.2~hardy1, I am guessing your talking about jaunty/karmic?
[22:22] <DeFi> ks3, heres the output of the script: http://paste2.org/p/480075
[22:22] <DeFi> ks3, all the ppp connections have the same gateway
[22:22] <erUSUL> nuvan: if you use /etc/network/interfaces yes there is a way. with netwrk manager i dunno
[22:22] <rob42> hi have use package manager to download open office , but cant find it in the menus.It shows as installed
[22:22] <n8tuser> nuvan its possible, look into  using inotify
[22:23] <nuvan> n8tuser, thanks, i'll check out inotify
[22:23] <ageeb> !backports | ageeb
[22:23] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: yep; iirc yahoo changed the protocol... maybe the pidgin homepage has info on what versions of pidgin are compatible with the new protocol
[22:23] <linuxdude96> rob42 right click the menu and see if it is marked in the meny
[22:23] <ageeb> not what i was hoping for... what are backports?
[22:23] <rob42> err - should I be in beginners section?
[22:24] <rfurgy> rob42: here is as good a place as any
[22:24] <linuxdude96> !gnome-menu
[22:25] <ks3> The first line of the output shows that 196.209.0.0/24 will be routed to the T1, but the 2nd line tries to route to 196.209.22.1 (not part of the 196.209.0.0 subnet). Are there other routes setup? Alternatively, since it's a PPP link, you can leave out the gateway IP and just use dev pppX
[22:25] <ks3> DeFi: Sorry, that was for you...
[22:25] <axon> hello out there,
[22:25] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: seems you need at least 2.5.7 ... but double check it was just a quick googling
[22:25] <Pirate_Hunter> erUSUL: no problem thanks to you I found out the ppa have the latest pidgin package wasn't even aware it had a ppa :s
[22:25] <mc_fail> DeFi can you show ifconfig?
[22:26] <tred> im trying to set up jaunty headless, and i can get it mostly working but i have a few probs. when i vnc in to the headless pc i am the correct user but plasma hasnt started. i can open a konsole and sudo plasma, but that puts everything on the desktop in root mode, and i cant seem to change it back to normal user, any help?
[22:26] <DeFi> uhm ks3, i can try taking out the gateway, but when i set up all the routes my script sets up, it works fine...
[22:26] <thevdi> Hi. I'm mounting a CIFS share via smbfs in my fstab file. When I look at my files, I get some question marks in place of non-ascii characters. If I mount these folders via "the file browser" (i.e. not via fstab), then the characters display OK. Any ideas?
[22:26] <ks3> DeFi: So if you run all the command that show in the output by hand, it works?
[22:26] <axon> can anybody tell me how my medion md85277 works like a webcam with cheese - the camera is approximately 4 years old, but it works very well as webcam under windwos
[22:26] <DeFi> mc_fail, http://paste2.org/p/480083
[22:26] <axon> ???
[22:26] <axon> any help?
[22:27] <DeFi> pretty much ks3
[22:27] <DeFi> but that also means theres nothing wrong with the script? :/
[22:28] <mc_fail> try "route add default gw 196.209.22.1"
[22:28] <tred> is there a way to sudo plasma so it starts for normal user?
[22:29] <ks3> DeFi: Where did the route in the routing table for 196.209.22.1/32 get added?
[22:29] <DeFi> err
[22:30] <mikebeecham1> Hi guys...I've noticed that Ubuntu has updated Firefox to Shiretoko 3.5.  However, my online bank does not support this browser....can I revert back in any way?
[22:31] <n8tuser> tred when your trying to vncviewer you are doing it as root?
[22:31] <IdleOne> mikebeecham1: you can install firefox-3.0 side by side with 3.5
[22:31] <erUSUL> mikebeecham1: jaunty ? use firefox 3.0.x both are installed side by side
[22:31] <n8tuser> mikebeecham1-> maybe you can try an agent to mimic the browser you're using?
[22:31] <tred> no, when i start it, its started autostart under user, and when i log in, i log into normal user
[22:31] <ks3> DeFi: Just a guess, but it looks like you're network should be 196.209.22.0/24, but your script is stripping off the last two digits and making it 196.209.0.0/24; however, if you run the same commands as the script, you should get the same result
[22:31] <DeFi> mc_fail: that command does not have the same effect as the failing one.
[22:32] <n8tuser> !who | tred
[22:32] <tred> im using x11vnc
[22:32] <erUSUL> mikebeecham1: or as n8tuser says use the user agent switcher extension to pretend to be normal firefox
[22:32] <DeFi> ahh, you are probably right ks3
[22:32] <Pirate_Hunter> erUSUL: yup works like a charm thank you for the info
[22:33] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: no problem
[22:33] <DeFi> although, when testing using the route commands, i also used .0.0/24 ks3
[22:33] <thevdi> Hi. I see question marks in my file names for non-ascii characters in a share mounted via smbfs in fstab. The question marks don't appear if I mount the same share using the file manager. Do I need to specify some character set in the fstab file?
[22:34] <meanburrito920> has anyone else been having issues with the release candidate booting?
[22:34] <tred> nt8usr it seems to log into normal ok. but when i start plasma the whole desktop is root
[22:34] <meanburrito920> Mine claims usplash is setting the video mode
[22:34] <mikebeecham1> erUSUL: thanks very much...just installed it and it works.  I find it amusing that the switcher extension does not offer Firefox as an option :D
[22:34] <meanburrito920> and then flickers the display and goes to a tty
[22:34] <mikebeecham1> I did look at how to find and install chromium...but couldn't find anything
[22:34] <linuxguy2009> So what is the deal with 9.10 RC? Does RC mean its finished?
[22:34] <ks3> DeFi: The script is also calling (but not printing) 'ip route flush dev pppX'. Did you run that by hand when you were testing?
[22:34] <meanburrito920> but I can't interact at the tty
[22:35] <axon> no one knows help?
[22:35] <meanburrito920> anyone know what the issue may be?
[22:35] <meanburrito920> the live CD boots fine

Does anyone know whats wrong?
[22:35] <XsCode> meanburrito920: i had this.. i posted a possible solution in the forums.. 1 sec i'll gt the url
[22:35] <meanburrito920> thansk
[22:36] <mc_fail> SHiR0 you need fix /boot/grub/menu.lst
[22:36] <tred> nt8user: after i sudo start plasma everything i try to open on my desktop is under root user, and i dont know how to switch it back to normal user

[22:38] <meanburrito920> XsCode, i did a clean install though...
[22:39] <distrohopper> Ziber: did you mount it with fstab?
[22:39] <meanburrito920> its the same issue, i guess with uxa
[22:39] <SHiR0> mc_fail: Well I can't figure out whats wrong with it, I have an entry in my menu.lst that says:root		(hd1,0). shouldn't that work?

[22:39] <meanburrito920> is there a way to switch the kernel back to exa?

[22:41] <XsCode> meanburrito920: different kernel maybe?  try booting into the live disk and mounting the partition and change your xorg.conf so it loads the vesa driver.. it that loads you can then configurea gfx driver that works
[22:42] <meanburrito920> XsCode, hmm. how do i configure that?

[22:47] <maxwellian> Does no one here work on any open source projects?
[22:47] <m0RrE> Alastairr: do you run any update-process at the same time?
[22:47] <Alastairr> Yes, the update manager is downloading files
[22:47] <m0RrE> try again when it's finished
[22:47] <Alastairr> Okay, thanks a bunch.

[22:54] <user_> mgolisch, how do i check
[22:54] <DeFi> mgolisch, i simply dont know if this script is running, trying to run, or anything...
[22:54] <Squeloss> re
[22:55] <DeFi> mgolisch, but theres no visible changes to the routing :/
[22:55] <Squeloss> ca marche. mais j'ai l'impression que du coup seven ne marche plus O.O
[22:55] <mgolisch> DeFi: what about having it output to a file?
[22:55] <user_> mgolisch, what command
[22:55] <Squeloss> Enfin, ca a la limite c'est moins grave.
[22:55] <Squeloss> oh sorry
[22:55] <SHiR0> Isn't there anything else than menu.lst and fstab that needs to be edited when moving the system from "sda" to "sdb"? I'm fairly sure they are correctly configured.
[22:55] <nemesis1911> "#!/bin/bash vlc /dev/video1" this is what I'm running how can I add sound to that string?
[22:55] <mc_fail> user_ do dd if=/dev/zero of=<file on your usb drive> bs=64k count=4096 and show output
[22:56] <nemesis1911> anyone?
[22:56] <Erebus> ,
[22:57] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: /dev/video1 is your second webcam.
[22:57] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: Or any other video device you might have attached.
[22:57] <nemesis1911> Xtreme_great in my case its a TV tuner..
[22:58] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: Oh.
[22:58] <user_> mc_fail, don't understand the command
[22:58] <nemesis1911> Xtreme_Great.. I got the video working but no sound
[22:58] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: The command you're using will give you just the video.
[22:59] <nemesis1911> Xtreme_Great so how do I get sound working I have a Hauppauge PVR-150
[23:00] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: Open VLC and go to Media->Open Capture Device
[23:00] <DeFi> mgolisch, now i've made it output to a file, but it doesnt, so clearly it isnt getting run...
[23:01] <nemesis1911> Xtreme_Great.. I'm there what to I put into the video device name and the audio device name?
[23:01] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: In the video device you give /dev/video1. In audio device, you give the audio device in /dev. I don't quite know which one it would be in your case. In case of microphones it is /dev/dsp.
[23:02] <user_> mgolisch, how do i check what is the command to see if usb 2.0 is installed
[23:02] <nemesis1911> Xtreme_Great.. dsp1 is webcam mic. and none of the thers work and when I do it that way /dev/video1 don't show any video
[23:02] <diogo_79> hi
[23:02] <DeFi> I've added " post-up /home/defirence/setup_ppp_routes.py

[23:03] <diogo_79> ?
[23:03] <DeFi> I've added "post-up /home/defirence/setup_ppp_routes.py" to my interface in /etc/network/interfaces, the file is executable and runs fine manually, but does not run when the interface comes up, does anyone have a clue why? :/
[23:03] <nemesis1911> Xtreme_Great.. what capture mode should I be in
[23:03] <diogo_79> my graphic card is a radeon x1950 pro
[23:04] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: Check each one of 'em.

[23:07] <DeFi> I've added "post-up /home/defirence/setup_ppp_routes.py" to my interface in /etc/network/interfaces, the file is executable and runs fine manually, but does not run when the interface comes up, does anyone have a clue why?
[23:07] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: Is that working?
[23:08] <jagjr> my DVDRW drive wont eject
[23:09] <jagjr> then i get this error
[23:09] <jagjr> There was an error ejecting the volume or drive.
[23:09] <jagjr> org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: eject: unable to find or open device for: `/media/cdrom0'
[23:09] <DeFi> jagjr: hit it

[23:09] <m0r0n> My keyboard everytime after login freezes itself, but when I plug in this keyboard typing is fine
[23:09] <Kazorin> I just updated, and now all of a sudden I'm getting a crappy error about nvidia module.
[23:10] <erUSUL> Kazorin: how you installed the nvidia drivers ?
[23:10] <meanburrito920_> XsCode: ok, that fixed that problem, but does that mean I'm stuck with vesa?
[23:10] <Xtreme_Great> nemesis1911: Is the video working?
[23:10] <Kazorin> erUSUL: They were working just fine before the update today. I had 185, installed from nvidia's site.
[23:10] <jagjr> ????
[23:10] <jagjr> any help
[23:10] <XsCode> meanburrito920_: no, from there, you can try install the latest proper drivers
[23:11] <meanburrito920_> XsCode: so the nvidia 185 driver?
[23:11] <erUSUL> Kazorin: you have to reinstall the drivers everytime there is a kernel update
[23:11] <XsCode> if you have an nvidia card
[23:11] <Kazorin> erUSUL: Oh, I didn't know that. How do I re-install them again?
[23:11] <meanburrito920_> or is that simply for 3d
[23:11] <erUSUL> Kazorin: that's the price you pay for not using the drivers from the repositories ;)
[23:11] <jagjr> my DVDRW drive wont eject or mount
[23:11] <Kazorin> erUSUL: Faulty card, 185 has stability fixes :P
[23:12] <erUSUL> Kazorin: just run the *.run installer again
[23:12] <user_> mc_fail, http://paste.ubuntu.com/299333/
[23:12] <user_> mgolisch, http://paste.ubuntu.com/299333/
[23:13] <erUSUL> Kazorin: you can install the kernel part (the only one that needs updating) doing "NVIDIA-blah*.run --extract-only" then enter the newly created dir and run only "./nvidia-installer -K"
[23:13] <erUSUL> Kazorin: sudo ./nvidia-installer -K
[23:13] <jagjr> when i insert a CD i get this error
[23:14] <erUSUL> Kazorin: -K == kernel only <<< you still have to stop the Xserver and all the stuff
[23:14] <jagjr> mount point /media/cdrom0 does not exist?
[23:14] <jagjr> any help
[23:14] <jagjr> it used to work
[23:14] <XsCode> meanburrito920_: i prefer to install the latest betas from nvidia ...
[23:14] <jagjr> now it doesnt
[23:14] <FloodBot3> jagjr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:14] <Kazorin> erUSUL: Right, I don't know any of this anymore. xD
[23:14] <erUSUL> jagjr: «sudo mksir -p /media/cdrom0»
[23:14] <erUSUL> jagjr: «sudo mkdir -p /media/cdrom0»
[23:15] <erUSUL> jagjr: sorry typo
[23:15] <mgolisch> user_: looks like it, whats that output from?
[23:15] <user_> mgolisch, system testing under system

[23:16] <wgb> Hi! My Ubuntu 9.10 RC alternate install hangs at 26% under "Finishing Installation". Is that a known problem?
[23:17] <GoClick> I just installed 9.04 (fresh install) and when I try and login the sceen flickrers and then kicks me back to the graphical login screen. The failsafe gnome session didn't work but I did get in with failsafe terminal
[23:17] <erUSUL> !karmic | wgb
[23:17] <wgb> (Forgot to mention that it's the amd64 version)
[23:17] <mgolisch> wgb: switch to a console and see what its doing
[23:17] <MenZa> wgb: I had that. You want to keep doing it until it fixes itself. Also, #ubuntu+1.
[23:17] <nuvan> I am trying to create a script to auto-mount an sshfs connection when I connect to my universities' network, but I can't make it work.  Maybe someone can help? this is what I have so far: http://pastebin.com/d6f1330a2
[23:17] <MenZa> wgb: (Yes, 26% exactly. It took me three tries, but I'm now happily using it. Although, I did install it from the Beta disc)
[23:17] <kiamo> hi
[23:17] <CyberGabber> sgs1990: Probeer het even door bv 1 regel eruit te KNIPPEN, en even te bewaren. Kun je altijd terugplakken...
[23:17] <MenZa> !nl | CyberGabber
[23:18] <wgb> MenZa: Hmm.... Jumping over to the +1 channel
[23:18] <kiamo> I want to change the back and forward buttons on my mouse from zoom in/zoom out of webpages to back and forward.  How do I do this?
[23:20] <GoClick> where would gnome or X log an error?
[23:21] <erUSUL> GoClick: ~/.xsession-errors ? /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[23:22] <GoClick> hrmmm
[23:22] <AaronMT> is the 9.10rc out, if so links
[23:22] <nuvan> nobody has any ideas? http://pastebin.com/d6f1330a2

[23:23] <AaronMT> found it http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/rc/
[23:24] <melinux> ubuntu_it#
[23:24] <markus_mpd> Between those huge sweating tits that hung enormous, the way you'd think of god's as big.
[23:25] <melinux> come si cambia canale?
[23:25] <melinux> #ubuntu_it
[23:25] <maxwellian> !sp | melinux
[23:25] <maxwellian> Whoops.
[23:25] <Xtreme_Great> !what?
[23:25] <LjL> melinux: /join #ubuntu-it
[23:26] <stinky> hello everyone, in windows when I make a shell script I use the "start" or "launch" command to have the script open up another script or application without pausing the script... what is the unix/Linux equivalent? TIA :)
[23:26] <m0r0n> My keyboard everytime after login freezes itself, but when I plug in this keyboard typing is fine
[23:26] <vikas> nuvan, what is .credentials file in your home directory?
[23:26] <LjL> aside from the fact that the factoid for spanish is !es... if the channel he's looking for is #ubuntu-it, isn't that a hint? :)
[23:26] <erUSUL> stinky: just call the script or command as you would do in a terminal (or better use the full path )
[23:26] <maxwellian> Look, I never promised anyone I wasn't an idiot. :)
[23:26] <nuvan> a text file containing username=myuniusername and password=myunipassword, each on their own line
 in a new line,just write the command
[23:27] <nuvan> vikas: ^
[23:27] <vikas> nuvan, is that username your university acount name or ur laptops account name?
[23:27] <maxwellian> !it | maxwellian
[23:27] <nuvan> vikas, university account
[23:27] <GoClick> Here are my xsession errors http://www.dpaste.org/SZQe/
[23:27] <maxwellian> Heh.
[23:28] <melinux> sorry guys, to make upgrade from 8.10 to 9.10 I lost my films, musics.....?
[23:28] <GoClick> The graphical login works fine though
[23:28] <maxwellian> melinux: You lost your files?  That seems unlikely.
[23:28] <w30> stinky, command & will run the command separate from your script
[23:28] <vikas> nuvan, you will not be able to mount drive as sshfs unless your laptops public key is shared with your university server
[23:28] <melinux> noo, I'd like to upgrade
[23:28] <nuvan> vikas, it is
[23:28] <markus_mpd> It's readin' right.  Look.
[23:29] <vikas> nuvan, what it is? is it shared?
[23:29] <maxwellian> melinux: 9.10 is Karmic, it's in Beta right now.
[23:29] <nuvan> vikas, my public key is shared with the uni.  I can log in without a password
[23:30] <windwhinny> melinux,RC now
[23:30] <Xtreme_Great> nuvan: Which university?
[23:30] <maxwellian> melinux: I wouldn't recommend you upgrade to 9.10 unless you really have to, and you know what you're doing.
[23:30] <anteaya> I used to be able to project from my VGA outlet to a large screen. A helpful person started pressing all my function keys. The projector no longer recognizes a signal from my laptop. I used to be able to just plug in the VGA cable and I was good to go. I don't even know where to begin looking for a solution. Thanks.
[23:30] <vikas> nuvan, then do you have permission to access that drive/folder that you want to mount?
[23:30] <nuvan> yep
[23:30] <melinux> yes, I'm afraid to lose all fils with the upgrade
[23:30] <vikas> nuvan, what error are you getting?
[23:30] <markus_mpd> Because i am an psychopathic killer.
[23:31] <erUSUL> anteaya: press all the functions keys again ? one of them is the one that enables/disables the vga output on most laptops
[23:31] <bootstrapbob> hello
[23:31] <Ninja_Coral> Hello!
[23:31] <Xtreme_Great> hi bootstrapbob
[23:31] <stinky> thanks w30  :)
[23:31] <GoClick> Can anyone tell me how to fix this ? http://www.dpaste.org/SZQe/ when I login with the graphical installer it starts to go and then goes black and logs me back out. that's the contents of my ~/.xsession-errros file
[23:32] <maxwellian> melinux: Normally, you shouldn't have to worry about an upgrade causing any problems to your personal files.  However, Karmic is still in development and could cause other unforeseen problems for you if you are not experienced in Ubuntu.
[23:32] <mgv1> how can i connect my little sansa devise?
[23:33] <nuvan> vikas, i'm not sure.  i'm trying to redirect the stdout and stderr to logger, but i'm not getting anything...
[23:33] <melinux> ok maxwellian, thank U!! ;)
[23:33] <mgv1> how can i connect my little sansa devise?
[23:33] <maxwellian> melinux: Sure. :)
[23:33] <vikas> nuvan, try running sshfs command on shell first and see what error you get
[23:34] <lwizardl> hi
[23:34] <vikas> nuvan, then run in shell script
[23:34] <nuvan> vikas, that's what's confusing, I don't get an error...
[23:34] <lwizardl> is there a way to directly install windows based screen savers (.scr files) into debian/Ubuntu based linux ?
[23:34] <vikas> nuvan, if you dont get anything means the command ran successfully
[23:35] <vikas> nuvan, check if the disk/folder is mounted by running "df -h" command
[23:35] <nuvan> vikas, no error when running from the shell directly, but nothing happens when I run the script.  is there a way to redirect the stdout and stderr of the sshfs to logger? "sshfs stuff >logger" or something?
[23:36] <blah569> What would be the standalone file extension for Ubuntu?  For example, on windows, when I compile out a CPP file, I could use: c++ -o main.exe main.cpp, and then I can run main.exe, or even pass of paramters to it from the shell.  I'm trying: g++ -o main.sh main.cpp, which does work, however I'm not sure how I can pass off a param to main.sh from the shell.
[23:36] <vikas> nuvan, run logger `sshfs command`
[23:36] <GoClick> Bah it's a fresh install dangunt
[23:36] <nuvan> vikas, *headdesk*
[23:37] <nuvan> vikas, brb, disconnecting/reconnecting

[23:38] <locum> hi
[23:38] <locum> got a problem with my mic
[23:38] <locum> it doesnt work
[23:39] <blah569> windwhinny:  What could I use instead of (*.sh) ?
[23:39] <locum> alsa-project.org/db/?f=229e59c495a134a96d23a67088730c586072c923
 of course...
[23:39] <blah569> What could I?
[23:39] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  I'm back with my usual question...
[23:40] <jonaskoelker>   When I'm not on AC, my cpu speed seems to be capped at 800 MHz.  When I'm on AC, I can run at 2133 MHz.  How do I run at 2133 MHz off AC?
,any,if you want use .sh for bin , ok
[23:40] <jonaskoelker> also, whenever I "echo 2133000 > scaling_max_freq" and cat it back, I get 800000 back
[23:41] <locum> got a problem with my mic
[23:41] <OlliW> jonaskoelker: first you could install the CPU scaling monitor applet
[23:41] <locum> it doesnt work, AD1986A, Alsa 1.0.20
[23:41] <locum> alsa-project.org/db/?f=229e59c495a134a96d23a67088730c586072c923
[23:41] <jonaskoelker> OlliW: the gnome panel one?  I got that running
[23:42] <windwhinny>  <blah569> if you want run some file ,should type "./<filename>"
[23:42] <ageeb> jonaskoelker: have you ruled out all non-linux variables?  like bios options/cpu throttling etc?
[23:42] <blah569> Thanks!
[23:42] <nuvan> vikas, it's working now.
[23:42] <OlliW> jonaskoelker: if you click on it... what options is selected (Conservative, On Demand, Power Save, Performance)?
[23:42] <jonaskoelker> OlliW: performance
[23:42] <vikas> nuvan, so what did you do?
[23:43] <MrKeuner> hi, how can I cancel saving in gedit? What happened is I clicked on save button for a file opened using sftp by gvfs after a connection problem. (after a suspend actually, before suspend it was a different LAN and after suspend it is a different LAN). Now gedit is trying to save the file without timing out
[23:43] <nuvan> vikas, I got rid of the su command.  guess I didn't need it.
[23:43] <jonaskoelker> ageeb: I *think* so.  For a while, I had my box DTRT without changing anything non-linux.  That usually happens after installing cpufrequtils
[23:43] <OlliW> jonaskoelker: 2 options... either it's reading your CPU freq wrong... or it's some hardware (bios) configured limitation...
[23:44] <vikas> nuvan, you are right
[23:44] <nuvan> now the important line reads "logger `sshfs $SSHNAME@cscompute.unbc.ca:/home/$SSHNAME /media/UNBC`"
[23:44] <jonaskoelker> OlliW: I'm fairly certain it's not reading it wrong
[23:44] <locum> my doesnt work, intel sound AD1986A, Alsa 1.0.20, some help please
[23:44] <mt92> I am trying to connect to the VPN at my university. I have managed to get connected but i'm trying to add a route using "sudo route add -net 192.12.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev ppp0" because I can't reach any machines the other side. I get "SIOCADDRT: No such device" back. Any ideas??
[23:44] <locum> my mic doesnt work, intel sound AD1986A, Alsa 1.0.20, some help please
[23:44] <Gratz474> ok on 9.10 now
[23:44] <nuvan> vikas, works like a charm.  now i've just got to get the unmount script to work properly
[23:44] <Gratz474> really liking it i think so far
[23:44] <jonaskoelker> OlliW: when it says 800 MHz the UI is sluggish, when it says 2133 MHz the UI is snappy...
[23:45] <ageeb> jonaskoelker: does your comp report cpu speed on POST?
[23:45] <OlliW> jonaskoelker: what hardware/laptop are you suing?
[23:45] <OlliW> using even ;)
[23:45] <jonaskoelker> OlliW: thinkpad T43p
[23:45] <vikas> nuvan, umount script should be easy
[23:45] <Gratz474> jonaskoelker, the 05 integrated intel, the 02 geforce budget card runs circles around it
[23:45] <jonaskoelker> ageeb: don't recall
[23:45] <jonaskoelker> Gratz474: yay on graphics cards, huh? ;)
[23:46] <jonaskoelker> bbiab, gonna' go check my bios stuff
[23:46] <Gratz474> jonaskoelker, i mean i can't beileve that, an 02 nvidia budget card runs circles around that
[23:46] <Gratz474> jonaskoelker, also all desktop effects on seems to run it flawless, i can't see any lag looks fast and fluid heh i guess the crap nvidia had a purpose
[23:47] <Gratz474> how can i make glxgears display frames? i just get the frames in 5 seconds how can i get the fps per sec?
[23:47] <cdoiron> !Vandals Cayouche - Bootlegger.mp3
[23:47] <Gratz474> it was doing it in 9.04 but i guess this newer version has a different way?
[23:47] <jacquesdupontd> hi
[23:47] <johnny_> hail
[23:47] <GoClick> So no ideas then?
[23:48] <OlliW> jonaskoelker: can you do, just for giggles cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor && /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor
[23:48] <OlliW> jonaskoelker: can you do, just for giggles "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor && /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor"
[23:48] <OlliW> sorry forgot the quotes ;)
[23:48] <johnny_> مرحبا لجميع المجتمع
[23:48] <jacquesdupontd> i know it's a stupid question but in .bashrc i want to make an alias like alias "blabla"='acommand $1 && anothercommand $1' but it doesn't seems to work like that assuming $1 is what i put after the command "blabla"
[23:49] <googeek> Does anyone know the CL for Software center?
[23:49] <legend2440> googeek: /usr/bin/software-center
[23:49] <jacquesdupontd> please someone ?
[23:50] <Thocrun> mt92, are you on?

[23:50] <philipp__> Hey there I need some help with autofs. Mounting a smb share does not work and I can't figure out why. http://pastebin.com/d4dae38ad Please help!
[23:51] <googeek> legend: thanks alot
[23:51] <factran> jacquesdupontd: it is because the first command returns "False" (or 0) so the second doesn't execute. && means logical AND.
[23:51] <mt92> Thocrun: Hello sorry
[23:51] <Thocrun> mt92, found a link to the problem you where having, http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/05/msg00140.html
[23:51] <googeek> OK, new problem. Anyone know why software center's "install" and "remove" are disabled even when I go in as root?
[23:51] <jacquesdupontd> factran i need to pass by a function from what i just understood googling ?
[23:51] <kiamo> I want to change the back and forward buttons on my mouse from zoom in/zoom out of webpages to back and forward.  How do I do this?
[23:52] <jacquesdupontd> how can i use arguments in aliases that's what i mean
[23:52] <ycy_> I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and screen is no longer showing the bottom bar with all the info.  what should I do? I think it's a bug related to screen-profiles
[23:52] <n00dle> Can someone help me get the netmanager applet plugin for PPTP correctly configured so it'll prompt me for the password each time?
[23:52] <Thocrun> googeek, try using sudo in front of the command
[23:52] <jacquesdupontd> cause i made another alias "blabla"='acommande $1; anothercommand $1'
[23:52] <ageeb> jonaskoelker: pm
[23:52] <Cronos> hail humans !
[23:52] <Gratz474> 13473 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2694.510 FPS why do i not get this anymore jsut get
[23:52] <Gratz474> 13473 frames in 5.0 seconds
[23:52] <jacquesdupontd> and then it doesn't take my $1 argument
[23:53] <Gratz474> why did they take that out ?
[23:53] <factran> jacquesdupontd: faire une fonction ce sera surement plus propre, oui.
[23:53] <maco> jacquesdupontd: dont believe aliases can have arguments
[23:53] <factran> maco: jacquesdupontd  +1
[23:53] <googeek> Thocrun, yeah
[23:54] <GoClick> What might gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. mean?
[23:54] <googeek> I did that, lol, I may be a noob, but not that bad
[23:54] <jacquesdupontd> ok i did it
[23:54] <jacquesdupontd> thx
[23:54] <mt92> Thocrun: not sure if this is the same thing? im trying to use the vpn device ppp0 not a physical network device?
[23:54] <jacquesdupontd> resolved alone in fact :)
[23:54] <jonaskoelker> back
[23:55] <jonaskoelker> OlliW, ageeb: it turns out my BIOS was... what's the term, chock full (?) of speedstep settings
[23:55] <jacquesdupontd> im stupid to always go straight to the simpliest (in this case "aliases") and forget that arguments are not available for that.
[23:55] <jonaskoelker> I put them all on either "disabled" or "performance"
[23:55] <jacquesdupontd> function perfectly now let's test my script
[23:55] <googeek> Also, on another note, cairo dock wont install
[23:55] <ageeb> jonaskoelker: excellent!
[23:55] <googeek> I never had any issues with it in 9.04
[23:56] <trism> jacquesdupontd: I figured it out if you care, alias "blabla"="acommand !^ && anothercommand !^"
[23:56] <Thocrun> mt92, are you connecting to a static IP?
[23:56] <trism> jacquesdupontd: !^ will substitute the first arguement to the alias, you need to escape it with \ if you don't use quotes
[23:56] <NAVWOLF> FUCK HAPPY CAPSLOCK DAY YA BLOOD BUNCH OF GEEKS
[23:57] <Kajros> i am currently having issues with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 beta loading.  When I try to run it from a live usb it gets to the loading screen and after about a minute gooes to a black screen saying something about Fatal module error.  What may be the problem?
[23:57] <mt92> Thocrun: DHCP
[23:57] <jacquesdupontd> trism, thx but in fact will be better with the function cause in fact i forgot something i needed
[23:57] <jacquesdupontd> i explain it
[23:57] <mt92> Thocrun: oh wait, do I need to add it to /etc/network/interfaces ?
