[00:00] <frog> nothing is beeing printed
[00:00] <Wilabob> sobersabre: Output volume and 5 tabs, one is sound effects
[00:00] <sobersabre> Wilabob: can you name the tabs ?
[00:00] <jackeveryman> usser bluesscream: So update to grub2 and it detects OSs automatically, or figure out how to add missing XP to grub1 and then update to grub2?
[00:00] <inspiron630> thank you
[00:01] <Wilabob> sobersabre: Sound Effects Hardware Input Output and Applications
[00:01] <sobersabre> go to "hardware".
[00:01] <sobersabre> what do you see ?
[00:02] <usser> jackeveryman, it should detect your OSs, but again installing grub-pc package wont replace grub1 in mbr, it will put one more options on your grub1 menu, "boot grub2" use it to test stuff out, make sure all your OSs are detected.
[00:02] <Wilabob> sobersabre: Internal Audio 1 input Analog Stereo Input
[00:02] <danny> sobresabre: ok, i got it partially working...i can see 1 of 3 windows machines on the network now
[00:02] <danny> :P

[00:05] <Alan502> Good day. When i installed ubuntu, i made a primary partition for swap and and another primary partition for my linux swap. Now i want to move that swap partition and make it logical in my primary linux partition. How can i do this?; I know this question can be a little complicated but please at least refer me to somewhere where i can get information.

[00:09] <Alan502> me?
[00:09] <Alan502> Good day. When i installed ubuntu, i made a primary partition for swap and and another primary partition for my linux swap. Now i want to move that swap partition and make it logical in my primary linux partition. How can i do this?; I know this question can be a little complicated but please at least refer me to somewhere where i can get information.
[00:10] <lstarnes> Alan502: the irc command for joining a channel is /join #channel.  maybe he missed the /?
[00:10] <danny> blahhhhh
[00:10] <Jeruvy> Alan502: I'm not sure I quite understand your question, but normally to move a primary partition into a logical, involves repartitioning.  So I don't think you can just move it, but maybe there is a way
[00:11] <Wilabob> sobersabre: did I loose you?
[00:11] <intervila> jajjaa thanks
[00:11] <frog> i have canon pixma mp630 . it was iinstalled with drivers mp610. but it fails. when i try to print something there is a status in system. also int tft of the printer there is a  info taht the data are beeing printed from pc.
[00:11] <frog> but nothing is beeing printed
[00:11] <Alan502> Jeruvy, do you know where can i get more help?
[00:11] <centHOGG> hi anybody here installed the latest version of handbrake?
[00:12] <Alan502> lstarnes, huh?
[00:12] <lstarnes> Alan502: just be patient and keep watching this channel. You could also check the online forums for ubuntu
[00:12] <lstarnes> Alan502: I personally don't know how to fix your issue, sorry
[00:12] <nonie> where can i find xorg.conf
[00:12] <lstarnes> Alan502: someone else here might know, but it's not exactly a common issue
[00:12] <ziyv> i run emacs in FVWM, can i remove emacs23 suported by GTK?
[00:12] <danny> Question : If my Windows Server is a *wired* network, and my Ubuntu machine is wireless, will that cause problems trying to view the Windows server shaerd files?
[00:12] <benchik> hello
[00:12] <lstarnes> nonie: if it exists, it will be in /etc/X11/
[00:13] <benchik> was the hard drive Load_Cycle_Count issue fixed in ubuntu 9.10?
[00:13] <Alan502> lstarnes, ok thanks for your help :)
[00:13] <nonie> nothing is in there
[00:13] <greezmunkey> danny, type "smbtree" in a terminal. See what group you are tied to.
[00:13] <jackeveryman> usser bluesscream: Sick, "Found Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition on /dev/sda1"
[00:13] <jackeveryman> usser bluesscream: Looks like a job well done, thanks folks
[00:13] <lstarnes> Alan502: what you are trying to do might not be possible
[00:13] <andrey> who else is using hplip?
[00:13] <usser> danny, no it shouldn't as long as they are on the same subnet.
[00:13] <Alan502> is there a gparted channel on freenode?
[00:13] <vistro> How can I make Ubuntu display the specs of my machine? Like My Computer>Properties in Winblows?
[00:13] <Alan502> maybe a support forum?
[00:13] <usser> danny, if they are on different you need to have some sort of routing setup
[00:14] <usser> vistro, hwinfo
[00:14] <Jeruvy> Alan502: since it's swap, why not just repartition?
[00:14] <nonie> cd X
[00:15] <lstarnes> Alan502: you could try deleting the swap partition, resizing the ubuntu partition, then creating a logical partition for swap
[00:15] <lstarnes> Alan502: I don't know if that would work though
[00:15] <danny> usser : I can view 1 of 2 windows machines connected to the same network as my Ubuntu.  My Ubuntu is wifi, the visible Windows machine is on wifi, but the Win machine that isn't visible to my Ubuntu is wired (to the same router i get wifi through)
[00:15] <greezmunkey> danny, did you run smbtree?
[00:16] <nonie> there is no xorg.conf file under my /etc/X11
[00:16] <Alan502> Jeruvy, lstarnes , both sound like good ideas, but... how do i "re-assign" the new swap partition to the operating system?
[00:16] <lstarnes> nonie: then one does not exist
[00:16] <danny> greez: when i run smbtree nothing happens
[00:16] <nonie> this is strange
[00:16] <danny> greez: i get asked for a password, then nothing
[00:16] <lstarnes> Alan502: you can edit it in /etc/fstab, I think
[00:16] <greezmunkey> danny, are you running any firewall? iptables?
[00:16] <Scunizi> nonie: that's normal now.. the video card etc is handled by xrandr
[00:16] <danny> greez: if ubuntu installs those automatically, yes. otherwise, probably not
[00:17] <centHOGG> hi anybody here installed the latest version of handbrake?
[00:17] <greezmunkey> danny, it doesn't, but you can check "sudo iptables -L"
[00:17] <nonie> oh so how can i solve my resolution problem
[00:17] <Jeruvy> Alan502: there might be some info here you can use: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[00:17] <Alan502> lstarnes, i'll google it thanks for your help! very appreciated
[00:17] <smorg> the i386 disk really means i686 right?
[00:17] <epinky> !anyone | centHOGG
[00:17] <lstarnes> smorg: I think so
[00:17] <greezmunkey> nonie, what drives did you install?
[00:18] <Alan502> ok i'll check it, Jeruvy , thanks for your help!
[00:18] <greezmunkey> drivers...
[00:18] <danny> greez: is there anything in particular i'm looking for after the sudo iptables -L ?
[00:18] <Wilabob> Can anyone help me with getting sound from an intel 82801AA AC'97 sound card?
[00:18] <nonie> i just did the normal default after the installation i let ubuntu figure out the card installed
[00:18] <greezmunkey> danny, you should see three distinct outputs, that are empty of options
[00:18] <Scunizi> nonie: what card?
[00:19] <nonie> hold on
[00:19] <danny> greez: yeah i think that's what i see, "chain input/chain forward/chain output" with not much else
[00:19] <smorg> Wilabob: Thats a pretty common one. It should work after running alsaconf. I'm not sure about the ubuntu kernel but I would think it has support.
[00:19] <greezmunkey> danny, that's right.
[00:19] <danny> k...
[00:19] <bluesscream> jackeveryman: nice :) good luck
[00:20] <Wilabob> smorg: when I run that command I get command not found
[00:20] <vistro> I got a power supply that's not screwed in at all into the chassis. Think it's safe to find a screw and hold the supply long enough to screw at least one screw in there?
[00:20] <Pricey> vistro: with it powered on?
[00:21] <vistro> yup. It's updating
[00:21] <nonie> it's a NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] . i did a lshw and this is what came up in the video card
[00:21] <vistro> POS is so old, the processor is actually a card.
[00:21] <smorg> Wilabob: You need alsa-utils. I'm not on ubuntu right now so I can't tell their package name.
[00:21] <Pricey> vistro: well really, it should be powered off, and on a stattic proof mat thing, you should ground yourself, and then begin work
[00:21] <nonie> i checked the repositories and found none of equivalent
[00:21] <vistro> so the updates might take a while.
[00:21] <Pricey> 'ground'? meh, whatever the word is
[00:21] <Scunizi> nonie: and did you just install and the first thing you're trying to do is get the card working right?
[00:22] <vistro> I wish I could disable parts of Ubuntu (or at least delay them) during startup to make this thing not have to work so hard
[00:22] <staspika> Hey everyone. I've just upgraded my laptop to Karmic, and the first thing I've noticed, is that right after I unplug the AC adaptor, the X hangs. It is only X, or possible gdm. When I login with no graphics, nothing goes wrong. Any idea what it may be? I've found nothing like this in release notes or else.
[00:22] <greezmunkey> danny, see the last post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244931
[00:23] <nonie> yes when i installed pclinuxos with this card the display could reach 1024 X 768
[00:23] <Lingu> hi,can someone give me a hand please ?
[00:23] <lstarnes> nonie: see what xrandr reports
[00:23] <Scunizi> nonie: hang on .. checking the nvidia site for which driver that card should use..
[00:23] <Lingu> i updated my ubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10 and now it wont boot up :/
[00:24] <nonie> thanks for the help
[00:24] <Lingu> i cant fix it
[00:24] <Billiard> Lingu: what error do you get?
[00:24] <nonie> how can i see the xrandr reports
[00:24] <Wilabob> smorg: when looking in synaptic all I found was alsa-tools-gui
[00:24] <lstarnes> nonie: type xrandr in a terminal
[00:24] <emanux> for me, i will clean install.instead of upgrade
[00:24] <Lingu> sec ill switch it back on and check for any error messages
[00:24] <nonie> oh ok, sorry for my ignorance. doing it now
[00:25] <benchik> no one can help?
[00:25] <Lingu> it gets to the load screen with ubuntu icon loading then...
[00:25] <Scunizi> nonie: the 71.86 driver supports that card.. it's pretty old.. hang on a sec
[00:25] <lstarnes> benchik: you may need to repeat your question
[00:25] <greezmunkey> benchik, what do you need?
[00:25] <benchik> was the hard drive Load_Cycle_Count issue fixed in ubuntu 9.10?
[00:25] <nonie> it shows 800x600        60.0*    56.0  on the report as default
[00:25] <Lingu> it goes back to "Boot from (hd0,4) ext3 9da2c812-8612-4316-bbd7-6032c6baedb8
[00:25] <Wilabob> Can anyone help me with getting sound from an intel 82801AA AC'97 sound card?
[00:26] <Lingu> and then asks me to type my log in and password :s
[00:26] <lstarnes> nonie: does it show anything higher?
[00:26] <nonie> the rest are much lower resolution 640X800 , even 320 X 240
[00:26] <KindOne> Wilabob: lol what you doing with that ancient  card ?
[00:26] <Lingu> any ideas what went wrong ?
[00:26] <benchik> lstarnes, greezmunkey: the question is : was the hard drive Load_Cycle_Count issue fixed in ubuntu 9.10?
[00:27] <lstarnes> Lingu: what happens when you type in your name and password?
[00:27] <Wilabob> KindOne: Meh it works on windows
[00:27] <greezmunkey> lstarnes, nonie doesn't have an xorg.conf file, probably needs to run xorg rconfigure, but I'm not sure how to do that with a default install.
[00:27] <lstarnes> benchik: try checking the bug reports on launchpad
[00:27] <Lingu> well thats the problem the screen is flashing sometimes when i hit a key if its on the flash it doesnt register
[00:27] <lstarnes> greezmunkey: in 9.10, xord can at least partially configure itself using hal/dbus
[00:27] <greezmunkey> benchik, you should be able to look that up, I don't know.
[00:28] <Lingu> so when i type my password i cant see if it misses a key or not so i cant try log in
[00:28] <Scunizi> nonie: in synaptic package manager search for nvidia.. you'll see a package called nvidia-glx-legacy .. that supports the gforce 2 cards.. install that then in a terminal do a .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. then look in system > Admin > hardware drivers and it may be there waiting to be activated...
[00:28] <lstarnes> benchik: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh
[00:28] <Wilabob> Can anyone help me with getting sound from an intel 82801AA AC'97 sound card?
[00:28] <KindOne> nonie: i got a xorg.conf file that might solve your issue, I got a Nvidea Geforce 4 440MX SE....
[00:28] <lstarnes> benchik: er, sudo dpkg-reconfgiure --phigh xserver-xorg
[00:28] <benchik> lstarnes: tried that, but got confused in there, since i haven't found a clear answer
[00:28] <Lingu> any idea why its doing this ? :/
[00:28] <epinky> Wilabob: won't work,  get rid of PulseAudio
[00:28] <KindOne> Wilabob: you click the speaker icon next to the clock and check the setting in there?
[00:28] <lstarnes> benchik: wait, sorry, wrong person
[00:28] <Scunizi> KindOne: it's not an xorg issue.. just that his driver isn't installed yet.. from synaptic
[00:28] <lstarnes> nonie: try sudo dpkg-reconfgiure --phigh xserver-xorg
[00:29] <Wilabob> KindOne: Yep
[00:29] <nonie> ok hold on i will try first the synaptic thanks ill let you know asap.
[00:29] <Wilabob> epinky: Really? How in synaptic?
[00:29] <lstarnes> Wilabob: check lsmod | grep snd_intel8x0
[00:29] <benchik> lstarnes: yeh, i thought what does resolution has to do with it :)
[00:29] <Lingu> also it says "login timed out after 60 seconds" once i type in user name and it is more like 20 secs :/
[00:29] <epinky> Wilabob: check this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html
[00:29] <greezmunkey> Scunizi, I recently installed 9.10 fresh here, I did run the update manager, should I have run the commands that you pointed noonie to?
[00:30] <Scunizi> greezmunkey: won't hurt
[00:30] <greezmunkey> lstarnes, my nvidia did the same thing after a fresh install.
[00:30] <greezmunkey> Scunizi, ok. thanks.
[00:31] <sobersabre> Wilabob: sorry for leaving you. I'm back.
[00:31] <Wilabob> lstarnes: what should I have got from that command?
[00:31] <Wilabob> sobersabre: np
[00:31] <lstarnes> Wilabob: did you get anything?
[00:31] <sobersabre> can you run in the terminal the following program: gstreamer-properties
[00:32] <Wilabob> lstarnes: yep
[00:32] <sobersabre> do it as your current user, no sudo, etc.
[00:32] <sobersabre> Wilabob: ok ?
[00:32] <lstarnes> Wilabob: then it should work

[00:44] <nonie> Scunizi: no nvidia-glx-legacy in the repository. did a reload nothing there
[00:44] <sobersabre> you're running Karmic Koala, right ?
[00:45] <Wilabob> sobersabre: For what? Devices? Or Plugins?
[00:45] <m1dlg> how do i recover my pc?
[00:45] <josvuk> What's the kernel module snd-pcsp for. It is in the blacklist and modprobe doesn't reports it. Could this be the reason of my gnome-terminal no beep problem?
[00:45] <sobersabre> Wilabob: we're talking about "Default Output" section, "Plugin" drop down list.
[00:45] <LjL> josvuk: it's the PC speaker
[00:45] <sobersabre> josvuk: I think so.
[00:45] <LjL> josvuk: and yes it could
[00:46] <kavurt> m1dlg: what's wrong?
[00:46] <Wilabob> sobersabre: If I use pulse plugin and click test it doesn't work
[00:46] <Wilabob> sobersabre: I'm using ALSA
[00:46] <sobersabre> Wilabob: after you chose pulse, you need to choose device.
[00:46] <sobersabre> what is chosen now ?
[00:46] <sobersabre> Wilabob: pulse is ABOVE alsa.
[00:46] <m1dlg> my pc crashed, now i cant boot, i have recovery shell
[00:46] <sobersabre> so, leave alsa alone.
[00:47] <DJIndy> hey, does anyone know how to change where WINE's C drive is mounted?
[00:47] <m1dlg> kavurt, my pc crashed, now i cant boot, i have recovery shell
[00:47] <Wilabob> sobersabre: When using pulse I can select Default or Unknown neither give sound
[00:47] <kavurt> m1dlg: does it say anyghing when you try to boot?
[00:47] <sobersabre> Wilabob: did you play with ALSA mixers ?
[00:48] <Wilabob> sobersabre: Yes some of them were on mute so I turned them on
[00:48] <nilo_> Hi again
[00:48] <sobersabre> Wilabob: do you have alsa gtk mixer installed or did you play via command line ?
[00:48] <m1dlg> kavurt, unable to mount required .... and something about waiting for drive and fstab? i'll copy it in a sec.
[00:49] <Wilabob> sobersabre: I used gtk
[00:49] <Wilabob> sobersabre: BRB I have to switch comps
[00:49] <sobersabre> I suspect you messed all the mixers a little bit.
[00:49] <m1dlg> lots of  input output errors on sectors on the drive
[00:49] <josvuk> sudo modprobe snd-pcsp reports me: FATAL: Module snd_pcsp not found. Can I apt-get install snd-pcsp to install it?
[00:50] <nilo_> someone can help me get the sound
[00:50] <josvuk> Where are the kernel modules in the filesystem located?
[00:50] <nilo_> someone can help me get the sound
[00:51] <Wilabob> Back
[00:51] <sobersabre> I suspect you messed all the mixers a little bit.
[00:51] <sobersabre> you have 2 mixers - ALSA and pulse.
[00:52] <m1dlg> kavurt, now i'm getting boot disk failure - all because i knocked a cable at the back - if I booted from a cd would a 'scandisk' like repair fix it?
[00:52] <Wilabob_> How so?
[00:52] <sobersabre> alsa is a low level driver, and pulse is a "software" mixer.
[00:52] <sobersabre> it allows many programs to use your alsa card simultaneously.
[00:53] <sobersabre> Wilabob_: anyway, play with the mixers.
[00:53] <Wilabob_> sobersabre: So how can I fix it?
[00:53] <sobersabre> play with the mixers.
[00:53] <sobersabre> that's it.
[00:53] <sobersabre> if you said you heard the beep from the speakers, it means hardware/software is capable, but mixers are not setup properly. ok ?
[00:54] <sobersabre> in ALSA the output is usually signed as "PCM" or "Wave Out".
[00:54] <Subby> What is the difference to plug my monitor over HDMI or DVI?
[00:54] <Wilabob_> sobersabre: OK, I have a PCM mixer
[00:55] <sobersabre> Wilabob_: play with settings of the mixers. you can see them, I can't. it must work.
[00:55] <sobersabre> look for muted stuff.
[00:56] <sobersabre> Subby: HDMI can conduct sound, IF SUPPORTED with your card.
[00:56] <sobersabre> from monitor's perspective it doesn't matter.
[00:56] <ctmjr> Subby: HDMI carries sound Dvi does not
[00:56] <sobersabre> Wilabob: play with the mixer.
[00:56] <Subby> ctmjr:  thats all? nothing else? quality or something?
[00:57] <m1dlg> kavurt, The message is "one or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted: /home: waiting for /dev/disk/by-uuid/9??????????"
[00:57] <Wilabob> Well... nothing is muted
[00:57] <ctmjr> Subby: nope that's it
[00:57] <Subby> okay then i leave it as it is
[00:58] <KillGorack> ugh an update..
[00:58] <sobersabre> Wilabob: can you again enter that "right click" of the speaker, to see pulse input, output ?
[00:58] <Subby> but next time i plug in hdmi, i think its a little bit more handy
[00:58] <Wilabob> sobersabre: OK
[00:58] <sobersabre> Subby: maybe hdmi is more handy, but it's more delicate, and smaller, and easier to disconnect...
[00:59] <snuffy47> having problems with monitor going into stnby even with it selected to never
[00:59] <nonie> <lstarnes: there's no existing xorg.conf right from the start.
[01:00] <teadict> I turned off every screensaving related thingy I've found.. why is it still going black every 15'? ^.-
[01:00] <Jeruvy> teadict: power saving?
[01:00] <Bigshot_> i am at grub> what commad do i type so that it boot my USB?
[01:00] <chatZilla> has anyone build their own Slax?
[01:00] <Subby> sobersabre:  i think i will you it not to connect pc with moni, but e.g. digicam with moni. that is probably not bad :)
[01:00] <nT4BR> hey guys, how do i can use my wirelles realtek rtl8187b with ubuntu 9.10?
[01:00] <teadict> Jeruvy: that too turned off
[01:00] <Subby> sobersabre:  oh sorry i typed crap ;)
[01:01] <Subby> use = you
[01:01] <snuffy47> having problems with monitor going into stnby even with it selected to never
[01:02] <zamarax> q: I am trying to get pptp vpn to work i installed all the correct packages, set up the connection in network manager however now that it is there, how do I connect to it? when I click on it nothing seems to happen
[01:03] <josvuk> Hm, what's the difference about pcspkr and snd_pcsp? Where I can get snd_pcsp?
[01:03] <josvuk> Hm, what is used by gnome-terminal pcspkr or snd_pcsp for a beep?
[01:04] <tavyron> cual es para ubuntu en español?
[01:04] <m1dlg> !es
[01:05] <tavyron> ok.. gracias

[01:05] <Subby> :)
[01:06] <nonie> where can i download the nvidia-glx-legacy. it's missing in the repository
[01:06] <Wilabob> sobersabre: What do you suggest? The problem is pulse doesn't even see the audio card alsa does
[01:06] <nilo_> pleaseeee, I lost sound after upgrade my ubuntu 9.10,  What can I do??
[01:06] <Wilabob> lol that sounds  familiar
[01:07] <Jeruvy> nonie: why would you need that?
[01:07] <nonie> because of my old nvidia card it only diplays the max of 800X600
[01:07] <nonie> also there's no xorg.conf file to set.
[01:07] <Jeruvy> nonie: Ok, I'm confused.  Do you have sound problems or video problems (or both)?
[01:08] <nonie> think this is normal if u are using 9.10, i guess.
[01:08] <zippo> ,,ioquake3 and other games screws my audio,, fixed with this:
[01:08] <zippo> ~/.pulse/client.conf - autospawn = no,, "cli" killall pulseaudio.
[01:08] <nonie> i am the one having video problems
[01:08] <zippo> But! how 2 change sound preferences whitout pulse?.. or better have sond applett in tray withoutpulse!?,,  pulse mandatory for panel applet?
[01:08] <m1dlg> roughly how long would a fsck take on a sata 1tb drive?
[01:09] <nonie> any suggestions
[01:11] <Billiard> nonie: you can run nvidia-xconfig  to generate a xorg.conf
[01:11] <josvuk> nonie: Do you know about the #alsa chanel?
[01:14] <Zzarkc> Is there an online code bucket for easily sharing outputs on here without cluttering the screen?
[01:14] <temporarytao> is there anyone here from the philippines?
[01:14] <Billiard> Zzarkc: pastie.org
[01:14] <nonie> josvuk: unfortunately not
[01:15] <temporarytao> can ubuntu work with the smart big bro roaming internet network service?
[01:15] <nonie> Billiard: tnx
[01:15] <josvuk> nonie: So if you have troubles with audio you can try to ask in this channel, too. :-)
[01:16] <nonie> ok tnx josvuk
[01:16] <curious_> yo all :)
[01:17] <Zzarkc> I'm trying to make my wireless USB adapter work, and I've been working with wpa_supplicant. If someone could take a look at http://pastie.org/716689 and help me out with what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.
[01:18] <gizmoguy> Zzarkc: shouldn't that be wlan0 that you call wpa_supplicant with not eth0?
[01:18] <zamarax> q: I am trying to get pptp vpn to work i installed all the correct packages, set up the connection in network manager however now that it is there, how do I connect to it? when I click on it nothing seems to happen
[01:18] <gizmoguy> Zzarkc: sudo wpa_supplicant -BW -Dwext -i wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[01:19] <Zzarkc> gizmoguy the guide online didn't tell me to write that in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> i was thinking the use of wlan0 or eth0 depended on the exact driver/chipset of the wireless device. I have a laptop that has eth1 for its wireless
[01:19] <what> eh?
[01:20] <snuffy47> having problems with monitor going into stnby even with it selected to never
[01:20] <gizmoguy> iwconfig then maybe, to see what the actual wireless device is called
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> but ive never used wpa_supplicant befor. So i may be missing somthing.
[01:20] <gizmoguy> reading the guide it says "Note: "eth0" is your wireless device"
[01:20] <zippo> ,, --sound app in panel without pulse!?,,,
[01:21] <Zzarkc> gizmoguy Ah. That makes sense. It seems to be showing up as wlan0
[01:21] <gizmoguy> cool :)
[01:21] <snuffy47> when watching a movie my screen keeps going into standby is there something I can do to stop that
[01:22] <chuckf> snuffy47: is it a power management setting?
[01:23] <snuffy47> chuckf, I have it set to never but it still does it
[01:24] <Zzarkc> gizmoguy: I still got : ioctl[SIOCGIFFLAGS]: No such device
[01:25] <chuckf> snuffy47: how about a screensaver setting to blank the screen?
[01:25] <Zzarkc> gizmoguy: Could not get interface 'wlan' flags ; failed to initialize driver interface ; Failed to add interface wlan
[01:25] <Zzarkc> gizmoguy: The ';' stand for line breaks.
[01:25] <gizmoguy> wlan0 not wlan I'm pretty sure
[01:25] <snuffy47> hay that might be it lol
[01:27] <Zzarkc> gizmoguy: woops, didn't catch that.
[01:28] <snuffy47> chuckf, thanks a lot I never thought to check for that LOL it should fix it .  I was looking to disable power save mode lol
[01:29] <chuckf> snuffy47: np, I've been there:)
[01:30] <mzawieska> happy thanks giving

[01:32] <krabador> Billiard, tel me more
[01:33] <josvuk> mzawiska: Yes, name.cc is the C++ program which should be written from you.
[01:33] <mzawieska> josvuk, all I am looking is a program to practice...write simple programs etc?
[01:33] <josvuk> mzawiska: You can name it helloworld.cc. :-)
[01:33] <mzawieska> Billiard, any ideas buddy all i want is simple compiler
[01:34] <josvuk> mzawiska: And use gcc for comiling your helloworld.cc c++ program.
[01:34] <Billiard> mzawieska: i think you want an ide, look up what an ide is, i use codeblocks, if an ide is what you are looking for
[01:35] <nilo_> buaaaa, I'd try reintall alsa, pulseaudio and I still without sound

[01:37] <shudder> Is there an official Lubuntu 9.10 Cd somewhere? I can't seem to find one on the internet
[01:37] <asdo> hello
[01:37] <mzawieska> I am looking for good and simple C++ compilers for newbies.
[01:37] <kcj1993> Lubuntu?
[01:38] <shudder> mzawieska: have you tried g++?
[01:38] <Cas149> I'm trying to watch a DVD and I can't because it's original and the player refuses :(  Can anybody help?
[01:38] <shudder> kcj1993: LXDE + Ubuntu
[01:38] <asdo> i would like to scan my windows partition for viruses from ubuntu... what can i use?
[01:38] <nilo_> please help I have not sound
[01:38] <quinsha> hasy
[01:38] <mzawieska> shudder, never is it good?
[01:38] <chuckf> asdo: clamav
[01:38] <Cas149> nilo_ what sound card do you have?
[01:38] <nilo_> after upgrade my system
[01:38] <shudder> mzawieska: it is a commandline tool but it comes with the default ubuntu install
[01:38] <kcj1993> mzawieska: code::blocks IDE
[01:38] <shudder> mzawieksa: simple usage
[01:38] <Spreadsheet> G++ isn't hard to use... g++ file.cpp -o file
[01:39] <shudder> mzawieksa: g++ -o outfile infile.cpp
[01:39] <Spreadsheet> Now I have white panels with no icons
[01:39] <max> Hi, Apt hasn't been working since yesterday. E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
[01:39] <max> E: Error occurred while processing libicet (NewVersion1)
[01:39] <max> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
[01:39] <max> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[01:39] <FloodBot2> max: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:39] <mzawieska> kcj1993, where can i get this compiler
[01:39] <Zzarkc> ctmjr: how do i delete the file? I keep having permission problems that it won't let me into wpa_supplicant folder.
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> shudder:  theres no lubuntu cd. there is the lubuntu-desktop meta package.. BUT install it with caution. It has some 'issues'  that can  cause quirks/annoyances with gnome
[01:40] <Guest1301> Sorry about flooding.
[01:40] <shudder> sudo rm (filename)
[01:40] <malibu> mzawieska: I think you might me looking for a C++ IDE, as opposed to a compilter on its own
[01:40] <Billiard> Zzarkc: use sudo, be careful what you delete
[01:40] <Guest1301> But I really don't know how to fix the problem.
[01:40] <asdo> chuckf, do you know of any online scan services working on linux_
[01:40] <asdo> ?
[01:40] <kcj1993> mzawieska: software center
[01:40] <mzawieska> kcj1993, i got it boss thnx
[01:40] <shudder> Dr_Willis: I know I am running it right now... I just wondered if there was a CD to get past all those issues.
[01:40] <joab> How can I get 'top' to list the number of threads a process has? Like prstat does for Solaris.
[01:40] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: try it with this sudo rm -rf
[01:40] <chuckf> asdo: I've never had occasion to look for one
[01:41] <shudder> Dr_Willis: So far I really like it.
[01:41] <ctmjr> Spreadsheet you might need to restart gdm
[01:41] <Spreadsheet> I still have 9.04. Is software center in 9.10 like Add/Remove software in 9.04?
[01:41] <Spreadsheet> ctmjr:
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> shudder:  the issues i all had was in  lubuntu's defaults goofing up my gnome setup. :)    theres the #lubuntu channel also
[01:41] <Spreadsheet> Ok
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> shudder:  i couldent stand it. :)
[01:41] <asdo> !clamav
[01:41] <Cas149> How can I watch DVDs on my computer??  The player refuses because it thinks I'm trying to rip it
[01:41] <mzawieska> kcj1993, do i need to install any plugins?
[01:41] <shudder> Dr_Willis: Yeah I had that too but I think I'm sticking with this so I should be fine.
[01:41] <malibu> No one can help me with my xbmc package key problem?
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> Cas149:  what player?   theres many players that can play dvd's
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> !dvd | Cas149
[01:42] <kcj1993> mzawieska: nope
[01:42] <shudder> Dr_Willis: I thought the lubuntu channel was a developer channel
[01:42] <kcj1993> !code::blocks
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> shudder:  no idea. i was there for about an hr a week or so back and just chatted with a few other users.
[01:42] <JohnWittle> How do I make cp more verbose? As in, shows percentage of current file?
[01:42] <zippo> ,,how 2 change sound preferences whitout pulse?.. or have sond applett in tray withoutpulse!?,,  pulse mandatory for panel applet?
[01:42] <shudder> Dr_Willis: I suppose
[01:42] <Cas149> I'm just using the movie player that comes with Ubuntu
[01:43] <mzawieska> kcj1993, i got the compiler but is ask me compilers auto detection
[01:43] <mzawieska> kcj1993, which one should i choose
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> JohnWittle:  i recall ages ago seeing some sort of 'tool/front end' to cp that gave it a progress meter. but i cant even rember its name
[01:43] <Cas149> but tried to download others and I don't know which I should, because they seem to do the same thing
[01:43] <JohnWittle> zippo: I believe ubuntu uses gstreamer, which does not use pulseaudio
[01:43] <Cas149> I'm just trying to watch a regular typical DVD... which happens to be copy protected
[01:43] <asdo> chuckf, how do i launch clamav??
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> Cas149:  vlc and mplayer  (such as gnome-mplayer) can handle it. You Do need to install the decss stuff from medibuntu most likely
[01:43] <josvuk> nilo_: What happens when you do: cat /proc/asound/version ?
[01:43] <Cas149> I do use free formats when I create my own videos
[01:43] <Zzarkc> ctmjr Billiard : It says ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it. And then it tells me to delete wlan0 if I don't need it anymore.
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> !medibuntu | Cas149
[01:44] <chuckf> asdo: I've always used a graphical front end for it
[01:44] <asdo> named?
[01:44] <chuckf> asdo: clamtk
[01:45]  * chuckf was looking it up
[01:45] <Cas149> Can I search medibuntu packages with Add/Remove or do I have to download from the website?
[01:45] <nilo_> Compiled on Nov  7 2009 for kernel 2.6.31-15-generic (SMP).
[01:45] <nilo_> "
[01:45] <asdo> ok
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> Cas149:  it has a 'repository' you want to add to your list of repositories for synaptics to use.  see  medibuntu docs
[01:46] <Billiard> Cas149: you can download the css lib without adding the mediabunto repository
[01:46] <assoguerozen_sx> guys it has a way to get flash performance better in ubuntu i386?
[01:47] <Cas149> How do I do that, Billiard?
[01:47] <Billiard> Cas149: hold on ill find the command
[01:47] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: you seem to have to many wpasupplicant files created the best thing you can do is restart the computer and do not run any commands make sure network-manager is disabled and not taking control of the interface then come back here and we will try to help
[01:47] <Cas149> Sure, thanks!
[01:49] <Billiard> Cas149: try this    sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[01:49] <Zzarkc> ctmjr I'm on a different computer, so i don't have to log off. Thanks for the help though. I'll let you know when I run stuff.
[01:49] <Cas149> Let's see
[01:50] <Cas149> It says it's selecting a previously deselected package
[01:50] <Cas149> I mean, library
[01:50] <exarkun> I let update-manager install a few weeks worth of updates yesterday and then let it try to reboot.  It couldn't finish exiting X, so I turned off the power.  Today I turned the machine on and my raid0 array won't start because "no recogniseable superblock on /dev/sdb1".  How do I fix it?
[01:50] <krabador> Dr_Willis, can you help me with ntfs-3g in read/write mode, in all the cases?
[01:51] <Cas149> I looks like what it did, worked... I'll try to run a DVD and see what happens
[01:51] <hellupline_> did anyone know how nautilus set a name to a preview in ~/.thumbnails/
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> krabador:  depends on the exact issues you are having. The ntfs-3g homepage/faq/docs are worth checking out also. it has  a lot of info about problems you may encounter.
[01:52] <krabador> Dr_Willis, i've a no write issue, when i mount win7's ntfs partition on karmic
[01:53] <zippo> JohnWittle: ,, true,, but how 2 change volyme? whitout pulse? ,, alsa, oss,, whattevva,, works, but 4 basic stuff without pulse like an quickie in a panel,,  !? pulse mandatory for panel applet?
[01:53] <hellupline_> did anyone know how nautilus set a name to a preview in ~/.thumbnails/, i am writing a python script, and a wanna use these previews
[01:53] <JohnWittle> zippo: sudo apt-get install gnome-volume-control
[01:53] <Billiard> hellupline_: you dont need to repeat your question so quickly, what do you mean set a name
[01:54] <Cas149> Mm... now it does not give me the message, but it still does not run. The screen stays blank
[01:54] <JohnWittle> whenever you need to adjust volume, hit alt+f2 and type "gnome-volume-control"
[01:54] <JohnWittle> or just bind it to a key
[01:54] <MilesT> would it be better to move about 150Gb of files using ftp or rsync?
[01:54] <assoguerozen_sx> guys it is a way to get flash performance better in x86 distro? (for instance, i cant play armorgames.com games cuz my flash performance suck)
[01:54] <Billiard> assoguerozen_sx: how did you install flash player?
[01:55] <assoguerozen_sx> Billiard normal install (adobe plugin, by synaptic)
[01:55] <assoguerozen_sx> ubuntu x86 here
[01:55] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: did you restart the computer your trying to connect
[01:55] <Billiard> assoguerozen_sx: flashplugin-nonfree ?
[01:55] <Cas149> Thanks.... it works..... very slow, but it woks :)
[01:56] <toshi> Billiard, just goto a flash based website, download it
[01:56] <assoguerozen_sx> Billiard adobe-flashplugin
[01:56] <hellupline_> Billiiard i wanna use the previews that nautilus creates in a python script
[01:56] <MaxHR> Hello, I have just heard about wubi (for the purpose of installing ubuntu on a pc with no working cdrom, and w/o network or usb boot capability), is it possible to remove windows after wubi install is done, and convert it to a normal install?
[01:56] <assoguerozen_sx> Billiard but i got the same slow motion performance in another distros (a little bit better using x64 distros)
[01:56] <Billiard> toshi: no dont do that, im not the one with the problem either
[01:56] <Zzarkc> ctmjr I'm trying to run the commands.
[01:56] <toshi> and how the hell do you turn off the "growl" like popups everytime you adjust your volume
[01:56] <nul> My monitor can't go above 1360x768 I think it was, I need to go up to 1600x1200, is there an easy way to add the res?
[01:57] <assoguerozen_sx> Billiard just asking for some tricky tune thing... got me?
[01:57] <chuckf> MaxHR: no
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> MaxHR:  i think thats a big No on both counts.. well you can sort of convert it to a normal install.. but not very esially
[01:57] <toshi> Billiard, i had to download the 64bit version of flash and then copy the plugin to the mozilla folder
[01:57] <Zzarkc> ctmjr I just restarted the computer fresh. So what do you want me to do in order?
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> MaxHR:  its best to just set up a normal 'dual boot setup' like most people use.
[01:57] <nul> wtf, is it the hardest thing in the world to add resolutions to monitors?
[01:58] <Billiard> toshi: you dont have to do that, flashplugin-nonfree works well
[01:58] <zippo> JohnWittle: Couldn't find package gnome-volume-control ?? running Karmic,, true,, i have known that,, doesnt work in my karmic,, !??C?
[01:58] <toshi> even for a 64bit machine?
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> nul:  for most of my nvidia based systems - they wont go to the proper/max res - untill i get the nvidia drivers installed properly. I also find that with DVI monitor/connections  they rarely give me res problems.
[01:58] <krabador> have usb installation issues with brand/models of pendrives?
[01:58] <JohnWittle> zippo: gnome-volume-control does not work?
[01:58] <JohnWittle> It really, really should, zippo.
[01:58] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: make sure you have the right interface run ifconfig -a look for wlan0 or whatever the wireless interface is
[01:58] <JohnWittle> Someone else help him; I'm out of my league.
[01:59] <Billiard> toshi: yes
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> krabador:  ive seen some specific pendrives, not work/boot properly with some of my machines.. but they would boot on other machines,   and ive had pendrives that work on the 'problem' machine  not work on other machines.. it can be.. weird
[01:59] <MaxHR> Dr_Willis: the computer is too slow to really run winxp, so I don't need it, would rather have the space, my only other option is the floppy drive, if I could use that to start a network install of ubuntu
[01:59] <toshi> and how do you turn off the "growl" like popups everytime you adjust your volume
[01:59] <Zzarkc> ctmjr I did that. I'm looking at the info.
[01:59] <asdo> how do i empty trash for my external usb thumb drive?
[02:00] <krabador> Dr_Willis, something to try many times....
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> MaxHR:   Ive not used a floppy disk in years.. whats the issue with booting from cd and installing that way?
[02:00] <Madpilot> asdo, when you unmount it, it should offer to delete the Trash
[02:00] <karma_police> any new news for 64 bit flash sluggishness? still freezes up on yahoo homepage with there flash ads
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> krabador:  most newer pendrives have not been giveing me the same issues as some of these 2gb's ive collected a few years past.
[02:00] <Billiard> karma_police: how did you install flash ?
[02:00] <karma_police> their*
[02:00] <asdo> Madpilot, it doesnt
[02:01] <karma_police> installed from the repos. i have 64 bit 9.10
[02:01] <asdo> Madpilot, it does now
[02:01] <Billiard> karma_police: flashplugin-nonfree ?
[02:01] <MaxHR> Dr_Willis: the cdrom in this laptop doesn't work, computer is too old to make it worth replacing, I am setting up the laptop for my Grandma for web-browsing/email
[02:01] <asdo> thanks
[02:01] <Madpilot> asdo, heh :)
[02:01] <karma_police> not sure.. whatever is in the repos
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> asdo:  when you right click on the trash icon in the panel and do 'empty trash' it sees/scans/cleans out all removeable drives trash. and in 9.10 it asks to empty the trash when you unmount the device
[02:01] <Billiard> karma_police: go check that you used flashplugin-nonfree
[02:02] <epinky> zippo: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer" , that applet would be useful
[02:02] <Dr_Willis> MaxHR:  put HD in a different box. install to it.. replace..  easier then fighting with a floppy. or learn about net-booting the thing to get it to install perhaps.
[02:02] <karma_police> i'm a noob.. whats the best way of checking this?
[02:02] <Billiard> karma_police: open the package manager, and look if flashplugin-nonfree is installed
[02:02] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : What do you want me to do for my next step? I'm looking at the ifconfig -a information. I found wlan0
[02:03] <zippo> JohnWittle: in synaptic,, gnome-utils gnome-voice-control gnome-volumemanager gnome-web-photo,,, no gnome-volume-control!!??
[02:03] <JohnWittle> zippo: grab gnome-volumemanager
[02:03] <MaxHR> Dr_Willis: installing with a different computer might work... the bios doesn't support net booting or usb
[02:04] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: ok run this make sure it see's your wireless network sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[02:04] <karma_police> it wasn't.. i checked it no
[02:04] <karma_police> now
[02:04] <Billiard> karma_police: ok install that see if flash works any better
[02:04] <SnowRaptor> Hey there! I have an USB headset and I wanted Karmic to set it as default audio input/output whe itś plugged and internal card otherwise, but I can't find such option. Tips?
[02:05] <karma_police> brb.. gotta reload firefox
[02:05] <UbuntuUser> how come add/remove was replaced by ubuntu software center? i use to be able to install/uninstall more than one application at a time. i really don't like the change
[02:05] <Billiard> UbuntuUser: there is both
[02:05] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : yep. It found it, along with 2 other networks I don't want to connect to.
[02:06] <Billiard> UbuntuUser: you can use synaptic package manager or ubuntu software center
[02:06] <UbuntuUser> Billiard, where's add/remove?
[02:06] <UbuntuUser> Billiard, i know i can use synaptic, just prefer the way it was before
[02:07] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: ok did you set up a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file yet?
[02:07] <karma_police> ok back.. it acts about the same.. it is fine on youtube and most flash.. just the pop-out flash on the yahoo homepage seems to lagg bad.. almost to the point of a hard freeze
[02:08] <Zzarkc> ctmjr I believe so. I followed the guide online.
[02:08] <karma_police> i know its not hardware issue..... i have 2.8 duo with 4gb of ram
[02:08] <Billiard> UbuntuUser: sorry, im not sure about add/remove, it was crap anyway, no reason not to use synaptic
[02:09] <karma_police> also.. i cannot get yoville to work at all.... gf is sad... :(
[02:10] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: ok well let's see if it works run this sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B it should not give any output just return to a prompt
[02:10] <IdleOne> karma_police: you have flash installed?
[02:10] <binMonkey> hi, guys.  i found a smoking, black friday deal on a laptop.  i researched it and found out that intel is stopping production of that processor.  do i have to worry about that?
[02:10] <karma_police> yes.
[02:10] <karma_police> installed from the repo
[02:10] <karma_police> nonfree also
[02:11] <Madpilot> Billiard, UbuntuUser - add/remove is now the Ubuntu Software Centre. must admit I haven't used it much, but it's supposed to replace add/remove
[02:11] <IdleOne> karma_police: the facebook games "play" slowly for me but they do work.
[02:11] <Zzarkc> ctmjr: do I want to stop the nm-applet first?
[02:11] <UbuntuUser> Madpilot, i know, i just don't understand why add/remove was replaced with something you can't do more than one thing at a time with
[02:12] <zippo> JohnWittle: volyme not volume,, sorry,, see the sentence, misspelled and on a shitty lapp,, back 2 pulseaudio,, !??
[02:12] <trism> karma_police: there are a few flash apps that don't work so well on the linux version unfortunately, but I have found if you install the windows firefox and flash with wine they sometimes work...kind of an ugly way to do it though
[02:12] <karma_police> i wonder what the issue with flash is with linux anyways.. works well with windoze.... adobe just buggy for linux?
[02:12] <Madpilot> UbuntuUser, for real? hadn't realized it wouldn't queue stuff up... meh. Use synaptic.
[02:12] <X-M4-X> hello is this right for ubuntu server edit?
[02:12] <DJJeff> why doesn't SD Card readers work with ubuntu 9.10 out of the box?
[02:13] <Madpilot> DJJeff, must depend on your reader. My basic one has always worked in Ubuntu.
[02:13] <karma_police> my sd card reader worked fine out of box
[02:13] <UbuntuUser> DJJeff, they do, you may just need to restart several times then just use suspend instead of shutting down. thats a workaround i use
[02:13] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: yes i thought  asked you to kill all network managers it tries to take over everything
[02:13] <karma_police> only thing i had to do wwith 9.10 was blacklict my usb wireless adapter
[02:13] <y2b_> hello
[02:14] <UbuntuUser> on my laptop on startup usb devices are not detectd most the time, so i had to restart over and over and now just use suspend when i'm not using it
[02:14] <Zzarkc> ctmjr Alright. I did that. Is that JUST nm-applet?
[02:14] <UbuntuUser> i also had to remove power manager to stop the constand brightness flickering. so far these 2 workarounds don't give me any problems
[02:14] <karma_police> i just wish network setup was easier
[02:14] <UbuntuUser> constant*
[02:15] <y2b_> What's the difference between the karmic Desktop i386 CD and the Alternate i386 CD?
[02:15] <Madpilot> UbuntuUser, 'restart again and again' is an ugly workaround
[02:15] <karma_police> i have been using ubuntu for a month and a half now
[02:15] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: network manager in general
[02:15] <UbuntuUser> madpilot, thats not my workaround, my workaround is leaving it on, and using suspend when not using it
[02:15] <binMonkey> karma_police: are you on reddit?
[02:15] <Madpilot> y2b_, the alternate is install-only, with the text-based more complex installer. desktop is the try-before-install liveCD + graphical installer.
[02:15] <karma_police> i moved over from windows 7
[02:15] <karma_police> what is reddit?
[02:16] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: try and run that command
[02:16] <nonamenn> any one know any where i can download linpus lite 1.2?
[02:16] <binMonkey> karma_police: sorry, i thought i recognized your name from another site.
[02:16] <IdleOne> nonamenn: distrowatch
[02:16] <xangua> hello there, i installed moonlight 2 beta for waching some page in silverlight and after a day uninstalled it
[02:16] <xangua> and now there are no plugins :(
[02:16] <UbuntuUser> nonamenn, it won't be out til at least december. i emailed them about that
[02:16] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : Alright. It just gave me a prompt again.
[02:16] <nonamenn> IdleOne: its the old version
[02:17] <xangua> mozplugger, gecko media, flash, can someone help me¿
[02:17] <UbuntuUser> nonamenn, first they said soon, then i said that doesn't answer my question, then i got a response saying december is the goal for now
[02:17] <IdleOne> nonamenn: you know this is #ubuntu correct :)
[02:17] <y2b_> and, I created a bootable usb drive for ubuntu
[02:17] <y2b_> i selected the LiveCD option
[02:17] <ubuntu> hello I want to know how to I find out all my computer specs from ubuntu 9.10
[02:17] <UbuntuUser> IdleOne, its ok i answered his question lol now we can talk more about Ubuntu :)
[02:17] <nonamenn> yeah... but some times they just know some stuff about anything
[02:17] <y2b_> aka try b4 using
[02:17] <y2b_> and it froze
[02:18] <UbuntuUser> ubuntu, did ya try reading the box your computer came in? it should be on there somewhere
[02:18] <zippo> JohnWittle: No command 'grab' found, pretty please,,, what,, next,,,  sorry,,'
[02:18] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: that is a very good sign now the big test run this sudo dhclient wlan0 and you should see some connection info it might take a little while, what you are looking for is the lease info
[02:18] <rafase282> it is a laptop and I dont have that info anymore
[02:18] <NickMcMillen> Hey all. Is there any way for me to either A) run Indesign within ubuntu; or B ) open INDD files? I've tried for days to install with WINE (all versions), run within vbox, etc. TIA
[02:18] <DJJeff> in " [~] $ lspci " I see the Texas Inst. 5 in 1 card reader
[02:18] <DJJeff> but I cant access it?
[02:19] <rafase282> is there any comman or program that will show what hardware i have?
[02:19] <Madpilot> DJJeff, shove a card in, it should auto-mount anything
[02:19] <DJJeff> rafase282: did you try "lspci and lsusb" in your terminal ?
[02:19] <boomernang> rafase282: try installing sysinfo
[02:20] <rafase282> thanks
[02:20] <rafase282> i'll do that
[02:20] <Madpilot> rafase282, the 1st tab of System Monitor will have some basic info - cpu, ram, hdd space. System->Prefs->System Monitor
[02:21] <Confuzius> rashed2020,  to get a very detailed list "sudo lshw"
[02:21] <boomernang> rafase282: sysinfo will give you a nice layout. if you want more detailed information, you can try installing lshw, and then exporting that output into html with 'sudo lshw -html > myspecs.html'
[02:21] <Zzarkc> ctmjr: It said "DHCPOFFERS received. ; No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."
[02:21] <rashed2020> what..?
[02:21] <Zzarkc> ctmjr: Woops, I meant "No DHCPOFFERS received."
[02:21] <Confuzius> good call boomernang
[02:22] <Madpilot> cool - didn't know lshw would output HTML
[02:22] <Confuzius> also looks like lshw is installed by default, on my relatively fresh 9.10 install unless it tagged along with something else
[02:22] <Madpilot> boomernang, nice. will have to remember that
[02:22] <boomernang> boom :D
[02:22] <TheBoggey> for which application are these parameters? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer
[02:23] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: that's not good you can run it one more time and see if it connects
[02:24] <Confuzius> also looks like lshw is installed by default, on my relatively fresh 9.10 install unless it tagged along with something else... and wow, that's a pretty nicely formated html output
[02:24] <TheBoggey> i am trying to setup ftp, but the guide I am following does not specify the application for which the parameters provided are
[02:25] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : do i need to change anything in the network interfaces file?
[02:25] <Confuzius> TheBoggey, probably vsftpd
[02:25] <dan85> what's the difference between logical and primary partitions?
[02:25] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: not yet
[02:25] <TheBoggey> Confuzius, do you recommend that one?
[02:25] <ctop> TheBoggey: why not use ssh since its more secure
[02:25] <linuxguy2009> Has anyone been able to get UFCE NES emulator to work from the 9.10 repos?
[02:25] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : Yeah, same response.
[02:26] <TheBoggey> ctop, because it is for a home server where nobody else knows how to use ssh
[02:26] <dan85> bump
[02:26] <TheBoggey> ctop, am I being stupid?
[02:26] <linuxguy2009> GFCE I mean.
[02:26] <ctop> TheBoggey: if its behind a firewall and only for local use it should be fine
[02:26] <TheBoggey> dan85, i think primaries are the only ones you can boot from
[02:27] <TheBoggey> ctop, but can they access it through windows explorer, or even firefox?
[02:27] <ctop> TheBoggey: they who?
[02:28] <TheBoggey> the people in lan
[02:28] <ctop> TheBoggey: ftp yes
[02:28] <TheBoggey> ctop, yeah but not ssh
[02:28] <TheBoggey> so i will use ftp
[02:29] <ctop> TheBoggey: with ssh you can use winscp
[02:29] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: what guide where you using can you paste the link
[02:29] <TheBoggey> ctop, its not like we're dealing with top secrets file here, so Ill use ftp
[02:29] <TheBoggey> now, which ftp server do you recommend?
[02:29] <TheBoggey> I had used one before that disconfigured itself weirdly
[02:29] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136
[02:29] <Confuzius> TheBoggey, i think that there's a problem with the Karmic implementation with vsftpd, when I tried it it didn;t propperly create the ftp user...  I havnt looked into alternates yet
[02:29] <ctop> TheBoggey: ok
[02:30] <Confuzius> vsftpd worked for me in jaunty but not karmic
[02:30] <dan85> I'm planning to make such partitions: /boot, /, /home, swap area. Which should be assigned as primaries, and which should be logical? Also, I'll might be, later on, add /backup. ALSO: placement of /boot, before / - is correct?
[02:31] <dan85> ...and which is - ext3, or ext4?
[02:31] <TheBoggey> Confuzius, ctop, take a look at this page please :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer
[02:31] <ctop> TheBoggey: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[02:32] <TheBoggey> thanks ctop
[02:32] <exarkun> Is there a log of what grub actions are taken during kernel package upgrades?
[02:32] <TheBoggey> that looks useful
[02:32] <boomernang> dan85: /boot is good on first cylinder - yes. / will be primary,  the rest can be logical
[02:33] <Kor> hi, i want to change to ubuntu 9.10, i am using 8.10, but i want to back up my evolution calendar data, but i dont know a way that works correctly, can you help me?
[02:33] <Madpilot> Kor, inside Evolution, there's a "backup to file" option that produces a tar.gz file
[02:34] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: ok that guide is kinda old do you have wpa or wpa2 set up
[02:34] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : WPA2
[02:34] <Madpilot> Kor, File->Backup
[02:35] <TheBoggey> ctop, is it a bad idea to set the ftp's home directory to a folder in my home?
[02:35] <blue1> does anyone have an aim server that works?  login.messagging.aim.com doesn't work
[02:36] <SnowRaptor> Hey there! I have an USB headset and I wanted Karmic to set it as default audio input/output whe itś plugged and internal card otherwise, but I can't find such option. Tips?
[02:36] <BrodeurPC> whats the best way to find out hardware info on a video card in ubuntu 9.10? I'm looking to find video memory and things like that.
[02:36] <Kor> Madpilot, i try that option, but when i try to restore the backup, evolution dont recognice the backup.
[02:36] <zippo> epinky: gnome-alsamixer,, thanx but i know,, not that,, gui interface, ( lame.. jepp,, but i need it )
[02:37] <zippo> JohnWittle: in synaptic: NO gnome-volume-control!
[02:37] <Madpilot> Kor, really? Not cool...
[02:37] <KindOne> BrodeurPC: do you got Wine installed ?
[02:37] <BrodeurPC> KindOne: yes i do
[02:37] <Kor> Madpilot, yes, i don't know why
[02:38] <KindOne> BrodeurPC: download GPU-Z and run it under Wine
[02:38] <linuxguy2009> Hey guys Im about to wipe 9.10 for the more reliable 8.04.3 LTS release and Im wondering does that release support dual monitors easily as 9.10 does? Pretty much plug & play?
[02:38] <Madpilot> Kor, see the comments here http://oldblog.wirelizard.ca/pivot/entry.php?id=101 - I had to retrieve my evolution settings/mailbox/etc from a dying hard drive not long ago
[02:38] <BrodeurPC> KindOne: never thought of doing that. thanks for the help
[02:38] <exarkun> linuxguy2009: yes
[02:38] <linuxguy2009> exarkun: Ok Thank you
[02:39] <KindOne> BrodeurPC: never have I, i just thought about it also
[02:39] <Kor> Madpilot, ok, let me see
[02:40] <linuxguy2009> I actually want to stick with 9.10 but I cant find a working NES emulator for my netbook to run NES games on my 52" LCD TV hehe.
[02:40] <epinky> zippo: huh?, I didn't undestand
[02:40] <epinky> zippo: understand*
[02:41] <lockd> linuxguy2009, there are a ton of NES emulators? none work?
[02:41] <conf> linuxguy2009, pretty much any nes emulator will look like garbage on a 52" hdtv.....
[02:41] <BrodeurPC> KindOne: i always forget about using Wine for things, iv been working hard on fazing out anything to do with Windows
[02:41] <BeeBuu> hi,there.
[02:41] <conf> heck, ive had zsnes work through wine
[02:41] <linuxguy2009> I only see UFCE in software center.
[02:41] <BeeBuu> how can i check a program's version in ubuntu 9.10?
[02:42] <shorthorn> newbie here.  question about moving files from vista puter to 9.1
[02:42] <linuxguy2009> Are there other GUI based NES emulators?
[02:42] <KindOne> BrodeurPC: if you cant find out something through Linux, always resort wo Wine and Windows
[02:42] <lockd> conf, zsnes is available for Linux, but it's x86-32 only
[02:42] <conf> lockd, yeah, i was just downloading it for a guy at work, who dosn't have internet...
[02:42] <KindOne> linuxguy2009: there are alot of Windows based emulators, buy uoi eill have to run them through Wine
[02:42] <shorthorn> is this the right room for that kind of question?
[02:42] <Madpilot> linuxguy2009, make sure Universe & Multiverse are enabled thru Software Sources, then search in Synaptic instead of the software centre
[02:43] <lockd> BrodeurPC, KindOne: err, using Wine to find out video hardware status? that's a little over kill
[02:43] <linuxguy2009> Madpilot: Ok yeah there all enabled umm Ill try and search synaptic again cause I know it shows much more.
[02:43] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : Any ideas?
[02:43] <BeeBuu> ~bot
[02:43] <KindOne> lockd: its What I would do.... Its simple and it works....
[02:43] <lockd> KindOne, err, what's simple and works?
[02:44] <conf> linuxguy2009, i just installed GFCE from the software center, it looks like a gui emulator...
[02:44] <lockd> KindOne, now, testing a windows game in wine to see if the graphics are good.. now I would do that
[02:44] <Madpilot> BeeBuu, most desktop apps have a Help->About entry; if you want to check a lot at once use packages.ubuntu.com
[02:44] <BeeBuu> how can i check a program's version in ubuntu 9.10 ?
[02:44] <linuxguy2009> conf: Yeah used to work great except in 9.10 it freezes on every rom.
[02:44] <conf> ahhh
[02:44] <BrodeurPC> lockd: works ok for me too just wants to know how much video memory this laptop has and what type of video card its packing
[02:44] <BeeBuu> Madpilot: is bot can help me check?
[02:44] <KindOne> lockd: running a windows based program through wine to find out your video card hardware on linuc
[02:45] <Madpilot> BeeBuu, you can. "/msg ubottu info <appname>"
[02:45] <zippo> epinky: i can have alsamix and whattevva in cli,, but i wanna have quick acc in panel 4 volyme in Karmic without pulse,, thats the problem,,
[02:45] <BeeBuu> thanks,is it always work?
[02:45] <KindOne> linuxguy2009: You could try "Jnes" through Wine to play some NES ROMS
[02:45] <Madpilot> BeeBuu, is what always work?
[02:45] <BeeBuu> that way
[02:46] <crazyivan> anyone know how to dualboot both windows and linux at the same time?
[02:46] <linuxguy2009> KindOne: True I might try that. Thats the one I loved back in the Windows days.
[02:46] <crazyivan> i got linux installed first
[02:46] <BrodeurPC> lockd: iv actually only had good luck running Windows programs through wine and not games, for some reason i can never get a game to not lag in wine
[02:46] <FrozenFire> I'm sure many people have this issue; how do I make it so that when I change the main volume on my system, when viewing full-screen flash video, it does not close flash's full-screen view?
[02:46] <BeeBuu> ~book
[02:46] <BeeBuu> oh,no bot reply ?
[02:46] <Madpilot> ubottu, dualboot | crazyivan
[02:47] <KindOne> linuxguy2009: here  are some NES emulators http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/nes/
[02:47] <crazyivan> brodeurpc, hey plz help me, im having difficulty installing my windows game using wine
[02:47] <BrodeurPC> lockd: i know its possible to have great gaming results its just something im still learning to use
[02:47] <lockd> BrodeurPC, well are you using the nVidia/FireGL drivers?
[02:47] <Madpilot> BeeBuu, the bot here uses ! instead of ~ . or just use it's name
[02:47] <crazyivan> brodeurpc, how do i go about installing?
[02:47] <BeeBuu> o,i got that,thanks.
[02:47] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: sorry got disconnected
[02:48] <lockd> KindOne, it's just the chances are you have a program like nvidia-settings and that you can't run in wine
[02:48] <epinky> ok, right click on task bar
[02:48] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : That's cool. I run a WPA2 here.
[02:48] <BrodeurPC> crazyivan: add an app called Playing in Linux you can find it right in the Ubuntu Software Center
[02:48] <epinky> zippo: ok, right click on task bar
[02:48] <shorthorn> i moved files from my vista laptop to my 9.1 lappy using the vista one.  I cannot delete or alter those files on my linux box and I can not access the linux box from the vista one as I have reformatted it and cant get the stupid thing working right.  Any way to change the permissions on the unaccessible files via the linux lappy?
[02:48] <zippo> epinky: sure,, !?
[02:49] <BrodeurPC> lockd: my gaming computer has an ATI HD 2600XT
[02:49] <tommy27> what does it mean if some may be eaves droping on my session
[02:49] <epinky> zippo: Add to Panel->Custom Application Launcher
[02:49] <BeeBuu> is the bot say current version's application?
[02:49] <lockd> BrodeurPC, ATI are notorious for bad Linux drivers
[02:49] <BrodeurPC> lockd: and have the ATI catlst and binary
[02:50] <zippo> epinky: jepp!
[02:50] <Madpilot> shorthorn, if you right-click on one of the moved files and choose Properties, who is the owner listed as?
[02:50] <what> tommy27:
[02:50] <BrodeurPC> lockd: yeah came to realize that kinda kickin my self for going with the ATI card because of it too
[02:50] <tommy27> ...
[02:50] <what> it means all that cp your hiding i can see you downloading
[02:50] <R-E-Loko> somebody has a preseed file from a customized Karmic iso?
[02:50] <epinky> zippo: Add->{Name: AG, command: gnome-alsamixer}, OK
[02:50] <what> and the plans for tying up the neighbor girl in the basement are plain to be also
[02:50] <IdleOne> tommy27: it means , listening in secretely
[02:50] <ss_> hi i want to play amr files in ubuntu karmic.. any ideas?
[02:50] <what> so to speak
[02:50] <what> ss_: yeah mplayer.
[02:51] <shorthorn> madpilot: 'nobody'
[02:51] <BrodeurPC> lockd: seems to be doing ok with 9.10 though
[02:51] <what> when in doubt mplayer + ffdshow can play most stuff
[02:51] <Madpilot> shorthorn, can you change that dropdown to your user?
[02:51] <zippo> great! =)
[02:51] <tommy27> so some one is watching what i do
[02:51] <zippo> epinky: great =)
[02:51] <IdleOne> tommy27: yes that is what it means
[02:51] <shorthorn> madpilot: it's greted out
[02:51] <shorthorn> greyed
[02:51] <tommy27> shit how do i stop it
[02:52] <BrodeurPC> lockd: the laptop i think has nvidia gforce3 but thats why im wanting some way to find that out for sure
[02:52] <IdleOne> tommy27: where did you see that message?
[02:52] <epinky> zippo: is it done?, there must be an icon on task bar
[02:52] <n8tuser> !language | tommy27
[02:52] <Madpilot> shorthorn, can you change any of the permissions options in that Properties window?
[02:52] <shorthorn> madpilot: at the bottom it says 'you are not the owner, so you may not change these files'
[02:52] <shorthorn> madpilot:  they are all greyed out
[02:53] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : How's it coming?
[02:53] <Madpilot> shorthorn, ah, OK. you're going to have to use the terminal and the sudo command to fix this
[02:53] <ss_> what: i tried but it gives error cant find codec
[02:53] <shorthorn> k
[02:53] <tommy27> i was puting my pass in synaptic then i got the pass wrong then a window poped saying Waring Some one my be eavs droping on your session
[02:53] <lockd> BrodeurPC, yeah, use nvidia-settings
[02:53] <Madpilot> shorthorn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal - look for the section on "chown"
[02:53] <shorthorn> madpilot: can you give me detailed commands to do it?  I have very little experience with linux
[02:53] <lockd> BrodeurPC, if that's not installed you don't even have the drivers on
[02:54] <shorthorn> madpilot: thnx
[02:54] <Madpilot> shorthorn, I'll do what I can. Where are the files? In a couple of directories?
[02:54] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf  http://pastebin.com/m739ba874 you need to add your info and go into the interfaces file and comment out the wireless stuff for now then you need to reboot to flush the interfaces
[02:54] <IdleOne> tommy27: what version of ubuntu? I tried putting in wrong pass in synaptic and did not get that
[02:54] <tommy27> xuubntu 9.04
[02:54] <lockd> BrodeurPC, did you get a little notice about restricted drivers manager?
[02:55] <shorthorn> madpilot: they are in many folders.  It's my entire music colletion
[02:55] <Madpilot> shorthorn, just realized 'chown' isn't explained on the page I sent you to. Sorry.
[02:55] <IdleOne> tommy27: not sure how xubuntu handles that situation. might try asking in #xubuntu to see if it is normal
[02:55] <trism> tommy27: might be related to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/134474
[02:55] <BrodeurPC> lockd: i was just going to ask you about the restricted drivers, it never popped up saying it
[02:56] <epinky> zippo: is it done?, you installed gnome-alsamixer(As I told you before), right?
[02:56] <KurtKraut> How can I know if a package was installed manually or it is installed by default in a Ubuntu installation?
[02:56] <twogigovercu> hi, i am seeking help on a mail server problem"no route to host", when sending to gmail or any external server, i am using dovecot and postfix on 9.10 any suggestions would be much appreciated.
[02:56] <BrodeurPC> lockd: and if i try to scan to see if i do need it, it gives no results says not needed
[02:56] <lockd> BrodeurPC, type 'lspci | grep VGA'
[02:56] <lockd> BrodeurPC, or just 'lspci' and pastebin the results
[02:57] <lockd> BrodeurPC, that means no nVidia, more than likely
[02:57] <shorthorn> madpilot:  they are all centrally located in a main folder, so if changing the permissions on the main folder would change  perms for all the subdirectories, I may just change the main one
[02:57] <Madpilot> shorthorn, PM me and I'll try and walk you through this - easier than trying this in channel
[02:57] <medhat> I was making partial upgrade from ubuntu karmic beta to the final release, all of the files were downloaded except for one But this one never gets downloaded, I've tried changing the server in the software sources to the main server and I still get the same problem. Any ideas?

[03:02] <medhat> Is their anyone here who help? WTF is wrong with this room. Why does people has to suffer to get support, I've never experienced the same in any other linux room.
[03:02] <BrodeurPC> its on pastebin

[03:03] <tommy27> ok thanks when i hold the hold the mouse when the administrator tasks passowrd dialog opens it says the crazy eaves droping thing
[03:03] <BrodeurPC> lockd: if i remember right i think i was using ATI drivers on it back when i had WinXP but that was a long time ago
[03:03] <lockd> BrodeurPC, you have to paste the URL in IRC or else nobody knows where to go
[03:04] <dan45> bump
[03:04] <IdleOne> tommy27: so it is a bug and nothing for you to worry about in this case
[03:04] <medhat> IdleOne: And any other room they are also volunteers. I'm sure there is something wrong with this room. It used to be fine back, and that's long time, now that's not my first time in this room and everytime now I have to suffer to get help.
[03:04] <BrodeurPC> lockd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329025/
[03:04] <tommy27> yes
[03:04] <poutine> danny_,  you joined a channel of 1268 people to ask someone to private message you so you can ask your question? get real
[03:04] <BrodeurPC> lockd: sorry bout that
[03:04] <lockd> BrodeurPC, thanks
[03:04] <tommy27> whew i was going to fucking freak out
[03:04] <tommy27> sry
[03:04] <IdleOne> medhat: if nobody knows the answer they wont answer
[03:04] <chuckf> medhat: perhaps no one knows the answer to your question
[03:05] <ardchoille> bastidrazor: You there?
[03:05] <dan45> ...need to ask about partitioning in a PM...
[03:05] <lockd> BrodeurPC, okay the northbridge didn't mean anything, yeah I see the ATI Radeon Mobility
[03:05] <IdleOne> dan45: ask in here and if someone can help they will
[03:05] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : No errors.
[03:05] <medhat> chuckf: That happens almost in every problem, and after I keep on repeating (which i consider spamming) and keep on asking people what's wrong why no one helps then i get their attention and that's what I call suffering.
[03:05] <Archanamiya> How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA).
[03:06] <dan45> HELP NEEDED: ... /boot, /, /home, swap area - correct placement? Which should be primary, and which should be logical? Also, what about ext3 and ext4?
[03:06] <medhat> chuckf: I feel no one even tries, I'm honest with you other Linux rooms are more active than this one.
[03:06] <chuckf> medhat: then perhaps Ubuntu is not the distro for you
[03:06] <ctmjr> Zzarkc: ok cross your fingers and run sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:06] <lockd> BrodeurPC, and are there graphics issues now?
[03:06] <BrodeurPC> lockd: should i try to load on the ATI binary or just leave as is since its running pretty nicely right now just not with Wine
[03:06] <lockd> BrodeurPC, you can't try the ATI binary
[03:07] <Archanamiya> How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA).
[03:07] <medhat> chuckf: What does the support has to do with choosing the distro?
[03:07] <chuckf> medhat: or you need to find a different form of support that works for you
[03:07] <BrodeurPC> lockd: only graphic issues i have ever had have been with Wine just very very laggy
[03:07] <IdleOne> medhat: please ask your question again
[03:07] <lockd> BrodeurPC, actually FGLRX 9.8 supposedly has fixed support with the 2.6.30 kernel
[03:07] <medhat> chuckf: I'm honest with you, this room used to be good back then.
[03:07] <DaZ> medhat: because ubuntu is for nabs
[03:07] <medhat> IdleOne: Thanks Idle.
[03:07] <dan45> anyone can help? ... /boot, /, /home, swap area - correct placement? Which should be primary, and which should be logical? Also, what about ext3 and ext4?
[03:07] <DaZ> medhat: maybe you asked wrong
[03:08] <BrodeurPC> lockd: would it be worth trying
[03:08] <beachwood23> medhat: i looked back, and I couldn't even find your question. what was the problem?
[03:08] <Archanamiya> How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA).
[03:08] <DaZ> dan45: awsum placement
[03:08] <Madpilot> shorthorn, if you find yourself needing to change a lot of permissions on the stuff you chown'd, use "chmod" in terminal
[03:08] <chuckf> medhat: well we are where we are now. Live in the now and not the past
[03:09] <DaZ> dan45: ext4 is considered stable and it's faster than ext3 so you should use it ;f
[03:09] <medhat> DaZ: People should guide me, what attracted me to linux and open source was that volunteers used to be very coperative and helpful, few weeks ago people in the Debian room told a guy who was refusing to help because i asked the wrong question is that linux geeks should say there is no wrong question but only wrong answer and that's the spirit
[03:09] <BrodeurPC> lockd: i use this laptop to show other people what linux is capable of doing and would like to get the most out of it
[03:09] <TheBoggey> can somebody help me with my vsftpd problems here http://paste.ubuntu.com/329023/ ?

[03:09] <techhelper1> kde4000 pm?
[03:09] <dan45> DaZ: so, which should be primary, and which should be logical?
[03:09] <KDE4000> techhelper1, k
[03:09] <lockd> BrodeurPC, keep in mind the ATI drivers are really iffy
[03:09] <Felixggenest> hi
[03:09] <DaZ> dan45: it doesn't matter imo
[03:09] <techhelper1> actually just check it
[03:09] <Felixggenest> I wanna know : do I need to choose the best registrar (except for cost)? I mean, if my registrar close his buisness, will I lose my domain?
[03:09] <Archanamiya> How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA).
[03:09] <Zzarkc> ctmjr : No luck, but I'm giong to edit something and reboot to see if it will work.
[03:10] <chuckf> medhat: you are asking for help on a problem. The people in the room currently do not have an answer for you. What is your proposed solution to the problem?
[03:10] <IdleOne> medhat: ask your support question please. all rooms have issues #ubuntu included.
[03:10] <DaZ> I always have home and swap on logical
[03:10] <Brendan_Mcc> Hi All - Im opening an SSH Connection to a Linux Ubuntu firewall we run.. Is there a shell command to extract Hard Disk Model numbers??
[03:10] <lockd> BrodeurPC, try it and if it doesn't work then don't use it
[03:10] <Archanamiya> How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA).
[03:10] <dan45> DaZ: is it true, that only primaries can be booted from?
[03:10] <DaZ> medhat: because debian people are different
[03:10] <beachwood23> medhat: i'm trying to help. i just asked you what your question was, and you complain again. do you really want help, or are you just going to complain?
[03:10] <BrodeurPC> lockd: i know, ill probably give it a shot ubuntu is easy to reinstall if i need to anyways
[03:10] <Zzarkc> ctmjr :Actually I need to get going. Thanks for the help I appreciate it.
[03:10] <lockd> Archanamiya, you need to copy the java plugin to your mozilla directory
[03:11] <lockd> Archanamiya, err, link, not copy
[03:11] <Archanamiya> lockd: How do I do that :S
[03:11] <DaZ> dan45: possible, i've heard it but it was a long time ago
[03:11] <extor> I just fresh installed ubuntu server and did an apt update/upgrade but it tells me that 3 packages are being "held back" without giving me a reason
[03:12] <medhat> beachwood23: I'm going to ask, but later I need to complain for the sake of your community no more, just cause I believe in you guys and you're time you're donating to help us. My question is that when I try to update from karmic beta to the final all the packages needed have been downloaded, after it downloaded them I got an error while fetching the packages (IP connectino error) I'm going to post the error hold on because I have to reinstall the updates to
[03:12] <dan45> DaZ: so, /boot, / - as primaries; /home - as logical. Right? swap area... ???
[03:12] <lockd> Archanamiya, sun java or openjdk?
[03:13] <Archanamiya> lockd: iunno. i have both. which would be better.
[03:13] <DaZ> dan45: doesn't matter
[03:13] <IdleOne> beachwood23: all yours :P
[03:13] <medhat> beachwood23: Hold on i'm going to paste the error.
[03:13] <hardbop200> I did an update yesterday, and various applications (firefox, hydrogen) now fail to start w/ a "bus error". is this a known issue, and if so, can someone point me to some doc on it?
[03:13] <DaZ> you can fit all as primary
[03:13] <Brendan_Mcc> Need to do this urgently for work, anyone been able to do this?: Im opening an SSH Connection to a Linux Ubuntu firewall we run.. Is there a shell command to extract Hard Disk Model numbers??
[03:13] <dan45> DaZ: logical is for?
[03:13] <BrodeurPC> lockd: i dont see the FGLRX in the software center just the binary x.org driver and the catlst
[03:14] <Archanamiya> help!
[03:14] <lockd> BrodeurPC, actually I think that's catalyst

[03:16] <dan45> DaZ: maybe /backup will be added...
[03:16] <DaZ> dan45: why would you need something like that? :f

[03:18] <beachwood23> @idleone: sorry man i have to go to bed. if you could help idlehat, that'd be great. idlehat, just keep the faith, we're all people, and nobody is purposefully ignoring anyone. when you complain about the same people trying to help you, it doesn't really make them want to help you.
[03:18] <Madpilot> Kor, you're welcome. glad it helped.
[03:18] <lockd> Archanamiya, ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib ... pastebin that
[03:18] <dan45> DaZ: what's the difference between primary and logical?
[03:18] <medhat> beachwood23: It just keeps on fetching 605 files out of 605 then I get that error "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-dfsg-5.1/libmysqlclient16_5.1.37-1ubuntu5_i386.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]
[03:18] <Archanamiya> lockd: k
[03:18] <lockd> Archanamiya, really sucks that Ubuntu can't write decent packages
[03:18] <BrodeurPC> lockd: yeah its going to be shared memory just trying to figure out how much is shared with it
[03:18] <lockd> Archanamiya, they're all missing a symlink here or there
[03:18] <Archanamiya> ah
[03:19] <trism> sir/lastlog siropio
[03:19] <lockd> BrodeurPC, I assume ATI's stuff lets you set that, not sure
[03:19] <dan45> DaZ: ???
[03:19] <DaZ> dan45: do some resarch
[03:19] <trism> siropio: use dpkg -S command_name to find out what package it is in then apt-get source package_name
[03:19] <medhat> DaZ: beachwood who shold help left can you give a look at my problem?
[03:19] <DaZ> in practice there are almost none
[03:19] <dan45> DaZ: o-k-a-y... :D
[03:19] <siropio> trism this will get the C code?
[03:20] <boomernang> dan45: just make / and /boot and /home primary.. and then swap logical
[03:20] <dan45> ok
[03:20] <BrodeurPC> lockd: yes and usually right in the bios but its not there. something that is set and cant be changed
[03:20] <medhat> DaZ: It just keeps on fetching 605 files out of 605 then I get that error "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-dfsg-5.1/libmysqlclient16_5.1.37-1ubuntu5_i386.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]
[03:20] <siropio> do you have a tutorial ?
[03:20] <dan45> DaZ: thx alote! bye...
[03:20] <IdleOne> medhat: try changing the server you get the updates from in Software Sources.
[03:20] <trism> siropio: it will download the source code to the package into the current directory...whether it is C or not depends on the package
[03:20] <medhat> IdleOne: I did that, I'm going to give it another try though.
[03:20] <Archanamiya> lockd: http://pastebin.com/m7eb0306a
[03:21] <BrodeurPC> lockd: i was hoping to see how much was taken from physical memory but it just reports the entire GB of ram
[03:21] <DaZ> medhat: paste the whole log somewhere
[03:21] <siropio> i wanted to see SORT trism
[03:21] <medhat> DaZ: from the log viewer?
[03:21] <lockd> BrodeurPC, http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15698
[03:21] <DaZ> is it the first or last package
[03:22] <medhat> DaZ: last
[03:22] <trism> siropio: apt-get source coreutils
[03:22] <lockd> BrodeurPC, there's a POSSIBLE way to change it by adding an option to Xorg but it's a joke, ATI drivers tend to crash
[03:22] <siropio> ok thanks trism :)
[03:22] <Archanamiya> lockd: http://pastebin.com/m7eb0306a
[03:22] <DaZ> medhat: if nothing helps then remove it and do an upgrade
[03:22] <DaZ> mysql isnt vital <:
[03:23] <medhat> DaZ: To remove it I should empty the /tmp?
[03:23] <lockd> Archanamiya, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[03:23] <lockd> Archanamiya, that should work
[03:23] <Archanamiya> lockd: ill try it
[03:23] <medhat> IdleOne: changing the servers didn't work
[03:24] <lockd> Archanamiya, note: if java is working in Firefox already, things are fishy
[03:24] <DaZ> medhat: apt-get
[03:24] <Archanamiya> lockd: k..
[03:24] <lockd> Archanamiya, well, was it?
[03:24] <IdleOne> medhat: you could try what DaZ suggested. uninstall mysql then upgrade
[03:24] <Archanamiya> lockd: iunno. havent used FF in ages
[03:24] <BrodeurPC> lockd: yeah ill try the ATI catlst on it and see if it works, but i will probably just stick to the basics, it runs enough of the eye candy to make ubuntu impressive enough for people to switch from Windows
[03:24] <medhat> IdleOne: how can i do that, can you tell me the step?
[03:24] <cdi> anyone know of something I can use to view .tef file extensions in ubuntu?
[03:25] <TheBoggey> how do I give myself read and write permissions for a folder I do not own?
[03:25] <IdleOne> medhat: search mysql in Synaptic and uninstall
[03:25] <lockd> BrodeurPC, just... tell them to buy an nVidia or an Intel graphics chipset...
[03:25] <TheBoggey> chmod +rw /home/ftp ?
[03:25] <medhat> IdleOne: ok thanks
[03:25] <extor> I just fresh installed ubuntu server and did an apt update/upgrade but it tells me that 3 packages are being "held back" without giving me a reason
[03:25] <Archanamiya> TheBoggey: yeah. are you the owner?
[03:25] <TheBoggey> Archanamiya, no
[03:25] <TheBoggey> Archanamiya, but if I do that it says operation not permited
[03:25] <DaZ> TheBoggey: o+rw
[03:25] <Archanamiya> TheBoggey: then run...
[03:25] <Archanamiya> ahhh
[03:25] <Archanamiya> sudo
[03:26] <TheBoggey> it gives permissions to root user
[03:26] <BrodeurPC> lockd: yeah nvidia seems to work great with linux
[03:26] <TheBoggey> (i think, because I am still not able to)
[03:26] <Archanamiya> TheBoggey: do sudo chown YOURUSERNAME /home/ftp
[03:26] <TheBoggey> I have to own it?
[03:26] <Archanamiya> TheBoggey: Then chmod it
[03:26] <Madpilot> TheBoggey, "chown" is change ownership
[03:26] <Archanamiya> TheBoggey: basically
[03:26] <hardbop200> does anyone know how to start firefox in such a way that it *doesn't* attempt to reload your last tabs? firefox -safe-mode doesn't seem to work...
[03:26] <TheBoggey> Madpilot, thanks I know
[03:27] <Archanamiya> hardbop200: it in preferences dialog
[03:27] <Archanamiya> hardbop200: tell it not to
[03:27] <DaZ> hardbop200: --hide-porn
[03:27] <Jeruvy> hardbop200: don't presever sessions, don't recall the method off my head
[03:27] <Archanamiya> DaZ: lawl
[03:27] <TheBoggey> Archanamiya, but this whole thing I am doing is because I need to use FTP with vsftpd, but I think that user [ftp] needs to be the owner of the folder
[03:27] <Jeruvy> hardbop200: preserve
[03:27] <hardbop200> Archanamiya: unfortunately, I can't get it to start to get to the preferences dialog
[03:27] <Archanamiya> hardbop200: Why not?
[03:27] <hardbop200> DaZ: lol ;)
[03:27] <TheBoggey> DaZ, lol, now ff has private browsing :)
[03:28] <TheBoggey> sorry for killing the joje
[03:28] <Archanamiya> lockd: didn't work
[03:28] <medhat> IdleOne: DaZ: It worked thanks alot =)
[03:28] <TheBoggey> joke*
[03:28] <hardbop200> Archanamiya: attempts to start, then I get "bus error". been happening a lot with various apps since the update yesterday
[03:28] <Archanamiya> :S
[03:28] <lockd> Archanamiya, about:plugins
[03:28] <Archanamiya> k
[03:28] <DaZ> medhat: did you reinstall the mysql? ;f
[03:28] <BrodeurPC> lockd: now if i can only find a way to get rid of that ugly Windows key on my keyboard :p
[03:29] <medhat> Should i do that before updating or after?
[03:29] <Cuddles> how do I restart a program?
[03:29] <medhat> DaZ: I didn't
[03:29] <BoriTori> when i 'screen -r' it says there is one scree nruning. i try opening it by screen -r ID, but doesn't work "There is no screen to be resumed matching 32088"
[03:29] <DaZ> so you don't know yet
[03:29] <Archanamiya> lockd: it has a spot for java, " libjavaplugin_oji.so", but says that no mime types are associated with it
[03:29] <spridel> BrodeurPC, a flat head screw driver can do that
[03:29] <IdleOne> medhat: welcome, in the future please try to keep calm, support is not always available on demand :)
[03:29] <Archanamiya> lockd: nor does it have a heading like all the others (it SHOULD say "Java...")
[03:29] <Archanamiya> :S
[03:29] <BrodeurPC> spridel: black marker worked pretty good too
[03:30] <Madpilot> BrodeurPC, a couple of places sell Tux stickers or replacement keys :)

[03:30] <lockd> Archanamiya, well you'll have to do a 'locate libnpjp2.so'
[03:30] <Archanamiya> lockd: k
[03:30] <medhat> IdleOne: I understand, I was just sad because I felt that the support was in a curve heading down. I really appreciate your time and sharing your information, I just always expect the best and I want to keep on expecting the best from you guys.
[03:30] <spridel> BrodeurPC,  well done!
[03:30] <Archanamiya> lockd: bash: locate: command not found ;-;
[03:31] <ardchoille> what do the load numbers mean? Load: 0.25 0.08 0.09
[03:31] <lockd> Archanamiya, oh, fun. you have to install that, and then updatedb

[03:33] <Guest71463> Is Make USB Startup Disk supposed to work?
[03:33] <lockd> Archanamiya, not sure if that's even possible
[03:33] <crazyivan> every time i close the terminal and reopen it the scroll bar and title bare go away by default
[03:33] <Archanamiya> lockd: :S. How long will updatedb take?
[03:34] <lockd> depends on how much junk that needs to be updated
[03:34] <crazyivan> Is there any way to make my Terminal keep the scroll bar and title bar on by default
[03:34] <Madpilot> crazyivan, check your gnome-terminal options, you must have turned those off
[03:34] <Archanamiya> lockd: crap
[03:34] <crazyivan> Madpilot, thx
[03:34] <crazyivan> madpilot, how do i check my gnome-terminal options? do i just type that commmand in the terminal?
[03:35] <lockd> Archanamiya, and yes if you're the type of person who stays up in the middle of the night you might notice a slow down due to it happening automatically
[03:35] <bishop_> bbak
[03:35] <Madpilot> crazyivan, Edit->Profile Preferences
[03:35] <Archanamiya> lockd: oh dear
[03:35] <crazyivan> madpilot, again, is that what i type in my terminal?
[03:35] <Guest71463> My USB flash drive keeps showing up with 0 MB free disk space in the USB Startup Disk Creator even though it should have 4GB.  Can anyone help?
[03:36] <Madpilot> crazyivan, no. Edit menu in gnome-terminal
[03:36] <payne_> its thanksgiving get a life
[03:36] <ardchoille> crazyivan: alt+f2, type in gconf-editor, Run. Check /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/$profile and check the optins
[03:36] <Madpilot> payne_, beg pardon?
[03:37] <Berzerker> Madpilot, just a troll, ignore him.
[03:37] <IdleOne> payne_: you just proved you don't have one by coming here to tell us top get one

[03:43] <rheaghen> any advice?:
[03:43] <Madpilot> crazyivan, you too
[03:43] <crazyivan> wait is that my last warning too?
[03:43] <crazyivan> or is that my first?
[03:43] <payne_> wut
[03:44] <payne_> tech support is slow
[03:44] <EntityReborn> anyone here use snes9express?
[03:44] <crazyivan> is that an emulator?
[03:44] <BrodeurPC> crazyivan: lol i support that cold feet comment
[03:44] <Newbuntu2> hello
[03:44] <EntityReborn> crazyivan, frontend for snes9x, yes
[03:44] <rheaghen> its a 500 gb drive using less than 100gb... how long should I let it go.. realistically?
[03:44] <crazyivan> BrodeurPC, thx man im surprised i didnt get kicked for getting off topic there.
[03:45] <crazyivan> snes sux! all about SEGA Genesis
[03:45] <IdleOne> rheaghen: wait another 30 minutes or so. have faith
[03:45] <nytek_> i think it has something to do with fluxbox, hence my channel
[03:45] <nytek_> hey guys, does anybody know of a toolbar that has a default to set to the top and show "main web raw src | Spacing" on it? if so im trying to remove it
[03:45] <rheaghen> its been about 2 hours now
[03:45] <rheaghen> ist that too long?
[03:45] <Newbuntu2> I'm trying to fix my boot loader. I installed a second copy of windows which squished grub, and I can't get it to reinstall.
[03:45] <Madpilot> rheaghen, it probably should have been done by now... did you do an error check on the CD before starting the install?
[03:45] <Archanamiya> lockd: it finished
[03:45] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[03:45] <Archanamiya> lockd: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
[03:45] <crazyivan> wow
[03:45] <Newbuntu2> the double boot instructions dont work
[03:46] <rheaghen> no... I didnt do an error check =(
[03:46] <crazyivan> why did so many people quit at once?
[03:46] <BrodeurPC> crazyivan: no problem, all these people here are having frustrations and can use a good laugh
[03:46] <lockd> Archanamiya, heh... looks like your missing the plugin altogether
[03:46] <Madpilot> crazyivan, netsplit. see what the bot posted
[03:46] <Archanamiya> lockd: what do?
[03:46] <jadakren> lol
[03:46] <Archanamiya> lockd: it returned /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
[03:46] <jadakren> read-fail
[03:46] <lockd> Archanamiya, that is just the symlink you made... which is almost certainly "red"
[03:46] <crazyivan> i still dont get it, so what happened?
[03:46] <Madpilot> rheaghen, when you first start an Ubuntu CD, 3rd or 4th option down the very first menu is "Verify this CD". good to run that.
[03:47] <lockd> Archanamiya, install the right packages, I have no idea what could be missing
[03:47] <rheaghen> yeah, I know
[03:47] <Archanamiya> lockd: :S They are...
[03:47] <crazyivan> ok so wuts up with this net split thing, wuts the purpose of it
[03:47] <EntityReborn> crazyivan, just a internet burp, is all
[03:47] <rheaghen> is there a way to silence the logging?
[03:47] <BrodeurPC> crazyivan: all those people who left were on Windows servers lol
[03:47] <rheaghen> sheish, thats alotta noise
[03:47] <crazyivan> All these damn floodbot and administrators are pissin me off
[03:47] <flippo> crazyivan, that's skynet recompiling.
[03:47] <Madpilot> crazyivan, freenode has a number of servers, one of them dropped out of sight for a minute, that's all
[03:48] <crazyivan> skynet?
[03:48] <crazyivan> terminator sucked
[03:48] <webbb82> hey
[03:48] <nytek_> hey guys, does anybody know of a toolbar that has a default to set to the top and show "main web raw src | Spacing" on it? if so im trying to remove it
[03:48] <EntityReborn> anyone here use snes9express?
[03:48] <Madpilot> rheaghen, most irc clients can supress the join/part stuff.
[03:48] <webbb82> has anyone used dockbar or dockbarx?
[03:48] <crazyivan> Probably the Gerbal and hamsters, running on wheels, got tired of powering the servers
[03:49] <crazyivan> Anyone here ever try VirtualBox ?
[03:49] <Archanamiya> Can someone help me?
[03:50] <Newbuntu2> I'm trying to fix my boot loader. I installed a second copy of windows which squished grub, and I can't get it to reinstall. I have one hard drive, sda, with sda1 = windows, sda2 = windows #2, 3 = extended, 4 = ubuntu, 5 = swap
[03:51] <Archanamiya> HELEHPLHELPHELP
[03:51] <BrodeurPC> Newbuntu2: i had that happen to me too, i never could figure it out and just redid the entire computer installing Windows first and then the linux
[03:51] <mark__> Anyway I can get ubuntu to remember my window position for firefox?
[03:52] <DaZ> !grub
[03:52] <jadakren> ^profit
[03:52] <Archanamiya> mark__: it should automatically...
[03:52] <iOmlette> I think their might be something in the nautilus preferences, but I'm not sure.
[03:53] <spiky25> What do you ask for little ubuntu users ?

[03:53] <mark__> Archanamiya : Nope :( It always seems to appear to one side. I normally have it centered.
[03:53] <Trustisaweakness> was wondering which ubuntu would be better to istall 9.04 or 9.10 I am looking for the one with the least issues
[03:53] <Archanamiya> How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA)?
[03:54] <spiky25> can you tell what you need I wasn't on the channel ...
[03:54] <Archanamiya> How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA)?
[03:54] <Wilabob> sobersabre: Hey I got it working using a PCI sound card... Thanks for your help
[03:54] <danielc1> what is chromium?
[03:54] <Archanamiya> a browser
[03:55] <danielc1> ohh i see
[03:55] <spiky25> Archanamiya you should put --enable plugins to the startup I think
[03:55] <Archanamiya> spiky25: i did
[03:56] <spiky25> or compile directly the source, I use Arch because ubuntu don't accept latest softwares ...
[03:56] <Archanamiya> im using the PPA
[03:56] <spiky25> even a ppa isn't really up-to-date
[03:56] <DaZ> recompiling chromium is a pain ;f
[03:57] <Archanamiya> D:
[03:57] <Archanamiya> what do?
[03:57] <Magnavox> Anybody use domain.com for there website hosting? I need help.
[03:57] <spiky25> older chromium where using --enable plugins to his settings
[03:58] <arand> Archanamiya: this is what I use to launch it chromium-browser --enable-plugins
[03:58] <spiky25> you could use wine and windows chromium or google chrome also
[03:58] <Madpilot> Magnavox, website questions should probably goto #web, not here
[03:58] <Archanamiya> arand: same
[03:59] <micheal> Transmission is already running, but is not responding.  To start a new session, you must first close the existing Transmission process. how do i quit it?
[03:59] <Magnavox> Madpilot, ok
[03:59] <TheBoggey> which ftp should I use? pure-ftpd,  vsftpd or which other?
[03:59] <Guest28939> pkill transmission
[03:59] <micheal> in terminal?
[03:59] <Guest28939> yes
[03:59] <spiky25> Magnavox seek for a hosting that as speach in his name ...
[03:59] <Madpilot> micheal, if the window is still visible, click the top right X button three or four times. else, terminal and "killall transmission"
[03:59] <micheal> thx
[03:59] <spiky25> Trulyfreespeach ???
[04:00] <danielc1> hey guys, I wanted to change the video driver to vesa, but I can't figure how to do it here in ubuntu
[04:00] <spiky25> ditch transmission for deluge it's way better
[04:00] <Archanamiya> Hmmm. where is the Firefox java plugin?
[04:00] <Archanamiya> spiky25: USE VUZE xd
[04:01] <micheal> madpilot: didnt work
[04:01] <spiky25> vuze outch the worst ...
[04:01] <Archanamiya> spiky25: i was jk XD
[04:01] <danielc1> I changet it with displayconfig-gtk but it's still the sis driver
[04:01] <Archanamiya> Deluge is quite nice
[04:01] <Archanamiya> !torrent
[04:01] <Madpilot> micheal, what didn't work? the X button trick? killall in term, then
[04:01] <spiky25> deluge and rtorrent are the best for now or almost
[04:02] <EntityReborn> anyone here use snes9express?
[04:02] <Archanamiya> no
[04:02] <micheal> madpilot: killall didnt work
[04:02] <Archanamiya> zsnes
[04:02] <iOmlette> micheal: pkill might work.
[04:02] <spiky25> Entity... try zsnes it's way better
[04:02] <EntityReborn> Archanamiya, I have sound issues with zsnes, despite it's awesomeness
[04:02] <Guest28939> just try pkill
[04:02] <Archanamiya> zsnes FTW :D
[04:03] <spiky25> snes9x = ugly GUI design
[04:03] <micheal> madpilot: tried that too...lol. Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. thats what i get
[04:03] <EntityReborn> Archanamiya, spiky25 so far (on my machine) only snes9x is the only one that has clean sound.
[04:03] <Archanamiya> rly? works fine for me
[04:03] <EntityReborn> Archanamiya, you prolly don't have a BS laptop
[04:04] <Duergar> I'm trying to install programs listed in the ubuntu software center, and it keeps telling me the programs are requiring untrusted packages to be installed and failing install. Is there a way around this?
[04:04] <EntityReborn> Duergar, something's borked
[04:04] <Archanamiya> EntityReborn: i gotta Dell Mini 10v running 8.04 w/ only 1 gig RAM
[04:04] <Archanamiya> EntityReborn: not very high end to say the least ;)
[04:04] <Duergar> ok. how do i find out what went foom and fix it?
[04:04] <Archanamiya> actually it's nice
[04:05] <EntityReborn> Running karmic on a Intel Celeron
[04:05] <EntityReborn> Need I say more?
[04:05] <Madpilot> Duergar, sounds like your sources include things they possibly shouldn't. have you added repositories?
[04:05] <Duergar> Not to my knowledge. everything i've installed is from the software center
[04:05] <EntityReborn> Intel Celeron 2.7ghz, 2 GB ram, but still sound stutters like a bitch.
[04:05] <EntityReborn> in zsnes that is
[04:05] <spiky25> Entity play without sound, I always put music cause I don't like old games sounds
[04:05] <webbb82> i hope you guys can help i am trying to install dockbarx in avant window nav and the instructions say  Copy everything from the AWN folder to ~/.config/awn/applets     where is the awm folder?
[04:06] <Archanamiya> EntityReborn: Really? that's odd. did you compile from SVN? repo? stable source?
[04:06] <EntityReborn> Repo
[04:07] <spiky25> Archanamiya you have one of the best netbook around try ubuntumini.com and osX86 if you want ...
[04:08] <Archanamiya> ubuntumini.com ftw
[04:08] <spiky25> ubuntu is a so bad linux distro, good to begin but it won't help to learn the true linux power or just a little ...
[04:08] <Archanamiya> spiky25: what is osX86?
[04:08] <spiky25> mac os X for pcs mostly
[04:08] <EntityReborn> Archanamiya, hackintosh
[04:09] <Archanamiya> EntityReborn: ??
[04:09] <Guest28939> spiky25,you use which distro?
[04:09] <danielc1> spiky25: but it doesn't mean it is a bad distro
[04:10] <spiky25> ubuntumini is a good place to learn about ubuntu on your netbook, I have a dell inspiron 1501 the laptop the author haved done his 1st blog for it ...
[04:10] <danielc1> spiky25: anyone can choose what he needs
[04:10] <spiky25> danielc1 for me now ubuntu was a waste of time
[04:10] <EntityReborn> that being said, I have heard pulseaudio may be the culprit for sound issues
[04:10] <wolf23> help please! how can i reload trash from the bottom of the desktop plz, coz it was disappear
[04:10] <lelo> why would the stats between top and the system monitor be different
[04:10] <sistema> Hi all... I'm installing karmic in one PC.. can I remove the HD and put in other computer (different hardware - both are core 2 duo).. the installation will work?
[04:11] <spiky25> wolf25 right-click gnome panel that is down and add it back
[04:11] <Jeruvy> sistema: probably not
[04:11] <DaZ> sistema: it will
[04:11] <spiky25> pulseaudio is scrap, I won't ever use it again !!!
[04:11] <chuckf> sistema: I've not had problems in the past unless i had a propritaryu vvideo driver
[04:11] <sistema> Jeruvy, DaZ : yes and no? :P
[04:11] <mcurran> Anyone have an easy howto written up for aircrack-ng (WEP cracking) with and without a client - I can't find any tutorials online that are as quick as the youtube videos and the videos aren't clear enough to copy/see the commands - Or if anyone has an aireplay-ng comand that actually works (kicks ass)?
[04:12] <wolf23> spiky25:  where?
[04:12] <Madpilot> wolf23, all the stuff on Gnome's panels is just applets, right click and Add To Panel will get it for you
[04:12] <rhorse> sistema: it depends
[04:12] <spiky25> Alsa does all that I need
[04:12] <pdragon_> hi im having some troble with my network interfaces
[04:12] <spiky25> sistema no
[04:12] <DaZ> sistema: i did something like this and it works.
[04:12] <danielc1> sistema: right.
[04:12] <Madpilot> spiky25, it works fine here. "brokenforme" != "uttercrap"...
[04:12] <cortana> i need some help
[04:12] <pdragon_> could someone take a look at my interface file
[04:12] <chinook> hello word
[04:12] <chinook> world*
[04:12] <sistema> both motherboards are intel, one more new than the other.. and and the seconds pc has a nvidia card..
[04:12] <spiky25> wolf23 you're on ubuntu not a variant ?
[04:13] <rhorse> sistema: it prolly will.
[04:13] <cortana> i need help with looking up the drives and info on them on my computer
[04:13] <DaZ> sistema: tho ubuntu automagic may fail
[04:13] <DaZ> i did it with arch
[04:13] <spiky25> mcurran wardriver could get a lot of troubles, avoid it ...
[04:13] <Jeruvy> sistema: if uuid's are relevent (as they usually are) then no ;)
[04:14] <spiky25> it's for security testing only and you're not ready for that
[04:14] <cortana> can someone help me
[04:14] <rhorse> I use the same hd with hardy on a inspiron and on a latitude, sistema
[04:14] <DaZ> changing mountpoints is like... 3 minutes? ;f
[04:15] <wolf23> Madpilot:  ok i did it but it is not in the same place as before?
[04:15] <Madpilot> wolf23, right-click on the trash, select Move.
[04:15] <chuckf> cortana: depends on what you need help with
[04:15] <Madpilot> wolf23, then Lock To Panel
[04:15] <spiky25> cortana open your terminal and type gksudo nautilus then it ask for your password put it in then do enter
[04:15] <sistema> mmm... I will try with a intel atom pc..
[04:16] <wolf23> Madpilot:  thanx dude
[04:16] <Madpilot> spiky25, why would someone need superuser naut just for drive info?
[04:17] <Madpilot> cortana, System->Admin->Disc Utility should tell you about your hard drives
[04:17] <wolf23> Madpilot:  another question plz, on windows i use a program call: pilot keyboard sound, is there also for ubuntu?
[04:17] <planegenius> hey guys how long does it take to install a tar.bz2 file thru a terminal, its been like 15 min
[04:17] <danielc1> planegenius: no, that's too much
[04:18] <Madpilot> wolf23, what does that program do?
[04:18] <EntityReborn> guys, is there a replacement sound system for the default?
[04:18] <EntityReborn> IE one that doesn't stutter in ZSNES?
[04:18] <EntityReborn> Or, is there a better plugin for ZSNES?
[04:18] <sshc> planegenius: tar -xf tar.bz2
[04:18] <chuckf> planegenius: what do you mean install a tar.bz2 file?
[04:18] <wolf23> Madpilot:  it makes sound on keyboard buttons
[04:19] <danielc1> EntityReborn: did you try with OSS??
[04:19] <EntityReborn> danielc1, ZSNES?
[04:19] <EntityReborn> I believe so.
[04:19] <planegenius> chuckf: im trying to install a new version of vuze, for some reason it wont update from the program
[04:20] <Archanamiya> planegenius: don't use vuze ;)
[04:20] <Archanamiya> !torrent
[04:20] <DaZ> planegenius: it doesn't upgrade without root iirc
[04:20] <EntityReborn> danielc1, actually, seeing as there is no setting for selecting the server, prolly not.
[04:20] <Madpilot> wolf23, it beeps with every keypress, or something? No idea, check the sound and keyboard settings utils in the System menu, maybe.
[04:20] <EntityReborn> danielc1, what do I do to use OSS?
[04:20] <planegenius> DaZ: could you explain that?
[04:20] <ZaNeIuM> what is a good standalown-boot cd/usb program what will make an image of my linux os?? nothing im used to seems to be able to do this, ie ghost, partiton manager etc..
[04:20] <DaZ> planegenius: what? :o
[04:21] <wolf23> Madpilot:  i dont know how, can u plz tell me how?
[04:21] <planegenius> DaZ: i dont get what ur sayin
[04:21] <Bob_Dole> In Google Chrome..You have the option to list what all processes are using..cpu, ram, cache, etc. And at the bottom of the list... Goats Teleported.
[04:21] <Bob_Dole> what is this goats teleported?!
[04:21] <fonebone> hrmmm
[04:21] <Madpilot> wolf23, System menu, look under Preferences and Administration for keyboard and sound setup options. only thing I can suggest.
[04:21] <DaZ> planegenius: then you don't know anything about linux
[04:21] <fonebone> i know i dont :P
[04:22] <ZaNeIuM> linux is very new to me and foreign to me
[04:22] <planegenius> DaZ: im asking for help dude
[04:22] <fonebone> trying to set up a squid proxy server and failing yay
[04:22] <DaZ> planegenius: and i told you why it doesn't work [;
[04:23] <Archanamiya> !botsnack
[04:24] <webbb82> hey do you know if i can enable dual panes in the new  nautilus
[04:25] <Archanamiya> !botsnack
[04:25] <planegenius> DaZ: alright, i may know what you mean, when i type in sudo vuze in a terminal the new version is there, but i cant access it from the applications menu
[04:26] <fonebone> sooo.. whats the best gui type client to use with linux?
[04:26] <bazhang> Archanamiya, /msg ubottu
[04:26] <EntityReborn> }botsnack
[04:26] <Archanamiya> bazhang: right. sorry ;)
[04:27] <fonebone> cause im not diggin xchat-gnome too much
[04:27] <rhorse> !best | fonebone
[04:27] <Madpilot> fonebone, try real xchat. xchat-gnome is... bleh.
[04:27] <planegenius> can anybody help me with this vuze issue?
[04:27] <fonebone> real xchat is all command line yea?
[04:28] <Jeruvy> nien
[04:28] <bazhang> fonebone, that is irssi
[04:28] <fonebone> ahhh
[04:28] <Jeruvy> irssi
[04:28] <fonebone> then i shall try it
[04:28] <EntityReborn> Guys, how can I change my audio system?
[04:28] <EntityReborn> To, say, OSS?
[04:28] <Jeruvy> !alsa | EntityReborn
[04:28] <rhorse> fonebone: be prepared for steeeeep learning curve.
[04:28] <Madpilot> fonebone, no, proper gui w/ the crippled stuff inflicted on xchat-gnome
[04:28] <spiky25> irssi and pidgin does well my basic irc needs
[04:29] <Madpilot> rhorse, xchat? nah, is easy.
[04:29] <EntityReborn> Jeruvy, there is no file in Sound Preferences
[04:29] <rhorse> Madpilot: no, irssi. Need to get your google finger in shape
[04:30] <Madpilot> rhorse, yeah, I tried irssi for a while, went back to xchat quite happily :)
[04:30] <W9ZEB> is it possible to set a fake resolution in xorg?
[04:30] <DaZ> W9ZEB: fake?
[04:30] <W9ZEB> for example, on a netbook with a small physical resolution.  Can you make all the windows display at say 80
[04:31] <W9ZEB> % their normal size
[04:31] <W9ZEB> so it acts like the screen is 20% larger
[04:31] <DaZ> sure
[04:31] <switch263> anyone have any suggestions on getting samba shares to be read? :-/
[04:31] <DaZ> and on the borders? :f
[04:31] <DaZ> scroll.
[04:31] <W9ZEB> DaZ: just pointing me in the direction of what I should be researching would help.
[04:31] <W9ZEB> well
[04:31] <W9ZEB> no
[04:32] <DaZ> hm
[04:32] <Jeruvy> switch263: you using karmic?
[04:32] <switch263> ? idk. 9.10?
[04:32] <W9ZEB> I was thinking if possible just shrink the windows, or make 1366x768 ACT like it's 1680x1050 or so...
[04:32] <Jeruvy> switch263: thats karmic ;)
[04:32] <DaZ> ah
[04:32] <switch263> Jeruvy, okay. :) lol
[04:32] <Jeruvy> !samba | switch263
[04:33] <acovrig> ssh not working
[04:33] <acovrig> ssh only local
[04:33] <acovrig> help?
[04:33] <Newbuntu2> I'm trying to edit menu.lst in grub, but it's not in /boot/grub. where can I find it? It's a fresh 9.10 isntall
[04:33] <W9ZEB> acovrig: you've installed the openssh client/server?
[04:33] <Jeruvy> switch263: even tho it says 9.04, it works with 9.10
[04:33] <acovrig> both
[04:33] <switch263> it _was_ working, but it stopped for no apparent reason. thanks Jeruvy i'll check out those links. :)
[04:33] <DaZ> W9ZEB: then no
[04:33] <arand> Newbuntu2: no menu.lst with grub2
[04:34] <W9ZEB> DaZ: fair enough.
[04:34] <fonebone> ahhh
[04:34] <Jeruvy> switch263: using windows shares?  That happens.
[04:34] <fonebone> much better
[04:34] <arand> !grub2 | Newbuntu2
[04:34] <W9ZEB> DaZ: that's a function I read about with OSX, and figured I'd at least ask if XORG could do it :)
[04:34] <acovrig> works locally (ssh user@localhost) but not from other computer, I have no firewall and I can ssh into other machines form this linux, and ssh to/from a mac
[04:34] <switch263> Jeruvy, yeah. its rather annoying, as i need some data on it. hah.
[04:34] <arand> Newbuntu2: what are the options you're after?
[04:35] <Jeruvy> switch263; usually it's just a re-login to fix, but if its anything else let us know
[04:35] <DaZ> W9ZEB: can show me where did you read it
[04:35] <W9ZEB> DaZ: one moment.
[04:35] <Newbuntu2> arand: add a second windows install, and make it pretty
[04:35] <DaZ> because maybe i still don't understand what are you trying to do ;F
[04:35] <switch263> Jeruvy, so far i've rebooted/relogged 3 times, no dice.
[04:35] <Jeruvy> switch263: whats happening?
[04:36] <switch263> i just get an error that says 'failed to get list' or something, sec
[04:36] <switch263> i can see the workgroup, but i need to access a share inside it. heh.
[04:36] <fonebone> hrmm... i keep starting my squid proxy server.. and it looks like it starts.. then it stops after a bit... weird
[04:36] <rhorse> acovrig: is the other computer on the same network?
[04:36] <bastidrazor> ardchoille: thanks for the conky heads up.
[04:36] <switch263> 'failed to retrieve share list from server'
[04:37] <Jeruvy> switch263: I think I've see a bug for that : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1082148
[04:37] <acovrig> yes, I can ssh into my mac, but not into my ubuntu
[04:37] <ardchoille> bastidrazor: You're welcome
[04:37] <switch263> Jeruvy, cool i'll check it out, ty
[04:37] <acovrig> I used to be able to, but, can't (I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10?)
[04:37] <chuckf> acovrig: is the openssh-server installed?
[04:37] <acovrig> newst before 9
[04:37] <Jeruvy> switch263: hope it helps :)
[04:37] <acovrig> yes
[04:38] <acovrig> I tried sshd, but package not found, so I am just sticking w/ openssh-server
[04:38] <rhorse> acovrig: are both computers on the same network? I.e. have you tried to ssh from a remote location?
[04:38] <chuckf> can you pastebin the output of netstat -an|grep 22
[04:38] <acovrig> tried both
[04:38] <W9ZEB> DaZ: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/faqs-how-tos/2099-virtually-increase-your-dell-mini-screen-resolution.html
[04:39] <acovrig> rhorse, I have tried host names (ssh user@ubuntu.local) and ip addresses (ssh user@ip.address.to.ubuntu)
[04:39] <acovrig> from my mac term and got nothing, I have another Ubuntu on a different cp that I can ssh into, so it isn't my mac
[04:39] <Newbuntu2> arand: do you happen to know how to update grub? the wiki entry doesn't explain how to add another windows entry
[04:40] <rhorse> acovrig: sometimes trying to ssh from within the network, even when using ip address, gives bad results.
[04:40] <arand> Newbuntu2: it should be able to auto-detect using " sudo update-grub2 "
[04:40] <acovrig> I was able to to it before I reinstalled 8, and before I updated to 9 (before I reinstalled 8)
[04:41] <acovrig> I had to reinstall 8 (instead of 9) because of a lack of audio drivers and setting options
[04:41] <DaZ> W9ZEB: we don't have something like this
[04:41] <chuckf> acovrig: is port 22 open?
[04:41] <switch263> Jeruvy, mounting them worked once i pinged out the NAS box's IP. :)
[04:41] <switch263> tyvm
[04:41] <machx> anyone using karmic on acer one D250?
[04:41] <DaZ> or at least i'm not aware of it ;f
[04:41] <W9ZEB> DaZ: that's fine :)  I figured I'd ask :)
[04:41] <W9ZEB> DaZ: thanks for trying though.  I really do appreciate it.
[04:41] <acovrig> yes (netstat -lt | grep ssh) 22 is listed
[04:42] <acovrig> I think that is the cmd
[04:42] <rhorse> acovrig: try it with a proxy
[04:42] <acovrig> apt-get proxy?
[04:42] <acovrig> or just proxy?
[04:42] <acovrig> as a cmd?
[04:42] <solifugus> I installed pygame but every single pygame tutorial gives me errors like: ImportError: No module named locals
[04:43] <solifugus> Is there something wrong with python for ubuntu or what?
[04:43] <spiky25> machx tell your problem not your laptop or desktop cause many others models have the same hardware
[04:43] <rhorse> acovrig: you would need something like privoxy. Or just use a friend's computer to test it.
[04:43] <machx> spiky25 i just had some acpi issues regarding to its hardware
[04:44] <machx> spiky25 i just want to know if anyone had the same experience
[04:44] <Ghoster> Hello Everyone ...
[04:45] <EntityReborn> Saweet
[04:45] <EntityReborn> using OSS now
[04:45] <arand> Newbuntu2: setting it up all pretty is also described on the wiki, as well as (just for bg images) here: http://www.sayakbanerjee.com/2009/11/11/howto-setup-a-fancy-grub/
[04:45] <Jeruvy> switch263: cool glad its working
[04:46] <EntityReborn> Jeruvy, thank you for the !factoid
[04:46] <EntityReborn> the web link there helped Lots
[04:46] <Ghoster> I'm trying to setup ubuntu with 2 video cards a nvida and a ati the nvida has monitors on it and the ati has one.. I have the nvida working but can't get the other one to go...???
[04:46] <Jeruvy> EntityReborn: awesome.  good to hear
[04:48] <raven_> anyone know how to hide the home screen in UNR karmic?
[04:49] <Bookman> I am trying to create a live USB but when I run the USB startup creator, it will not allow me to select an .iso.  I find one and select it, but it defaults to what is in my dvd drive
[04:49] <spiky25> ati shit omg !!!
[04:49] <spiky25> Ati should be a warning, for windows only ...
[04:50] <DaZ> stop trolling ;f
[04:50] <Ghoster> yeah do you know of anyone doing anything like this ?
[04:50] <EntityReborn> Jeruvy, would you have any ideas into why Ubuntu reports my CPU doesn't support scaling, when with Fedora scaling worked fine?
[04:50] <webbb82> can someone in here take a look at this     when i download the nautilus file it says you already have the latest nautilus installed
[04:50] <Bookman> And if I take the dvd out, it will not allow me to select anything.
[04:50] <webbb82> http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/dual-panel-nautilus-for-ubuntu-karmic.html
[04:51] <Madpilot> spiky25, language. also, "all ati is crap" is... not actually helpful...
[04:51] <Jeruvy> EntityReborn: probably due to the kernel, not all ubuntu's kernels are equal (nor with other distros)
[04:51] <EntityReborn> Hm.
[04:52] <DaZ> damn
[04:52] <Bookman> anyone?
[04:53] <spiky25> Madpilot that mean never buy an Ati again !!!
[04:53] <Madpilot> spiky25, mine works just fine. ymmv.
[04:53] <DaZ> spiky25: go to bed
[04:53] <DaZ> now ;f
[04:53] <W9ZEB> spiky25: I actually like buying ATI graphics cards.  Because unlike their closest competitor, they actually share their engineering docs with the XOrg Developers.
[04:53] <spiky25> Ati forums are sometimes spammed by peoples for that and Ati remove all about this ...
[04:54] <W9ZEB> my continued funding of that company, furthers open source development.
[04:54] <Jordan_U> W9ZEB: If you don't do gaming intel is still better :)
[04:54] <Bookman> Ok, has anyone used the usb startup creator successfully in 9.10?
[04:54] <W9ZEB> now, the intel GMA500.....
[04:54] <raven_> anyone know how to hide the home screen in UNR karmic?  it would be nice to see the wallpaper
[04:54] <Guest57944> I can't install plugins in vuze... Is it the correct channel to post vuze questions...?
[04:55] <W9ZEB> Jordan_U: I agree, with the GMA500 being a complete failure
[04:55] <Ghoster> I just need help setting up two different cards and three monitors ?
[04:55] <W9ZEB> but outside of that one chip, so far the 945 and 950 chips are great.
[04:55] <W9ZEB> I'm stuck on the, prior to last update, kernel because of the poulsbo driver.
[04:56] <webbb82> can someone please go here http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/dual-panel-nautilus-for-ubuntu-karmic.html       when i download the nautilus to replace the one i got i get a error because i already have the latest nautilus installed    how to i fix this
[04:56] <Jordan_U> W9ZEB: poulsbo is the unfortunate exception, there are going to release open source drivers for it though
[04:56] <Bookman> Ok, I guess not and the new bug reporting system is so hard to use.....not worth the effort.
[04:56] <W9ZEB> Jordan_U:  I read that.  However holding my breath, isn't something I'll be doing :)
[04:56] <mxweas> Who can come up with the best caption for this photo: http://i37.tinypic.com/2llm7eu.jpg ?
[04:57] <W9ZEB> Jordan_U: with luck I'll get a christmas present early, and Intel will release the drivers tomorrow.
[04:57] <webbb82> ok i think i got it   if i can somehow del nautilus without having to del ubuntu-desktop and the other depends     would rm nautilus work then just install the downloaded file??
[04:57] <acovrig> If I `ssh user@localhost` it works, if I use a different computer, `ssh user@ubuntu.local` I get "nodename nor servname provided or not known", if I `ssh user@ip.address.of.ubuntu` I get "Operation timed out" - no firewall
[04:57] <Jordan_U> !ubuntu-desktop | webbb82
[04:58] <webbb82> i know but in synaptic when i goto uninstall nautilus so i can reinstall a moded version   it makes me also uninstall ubuntu-desktop how do ii get around thaT
[04:59] <Bookman> hello?  Am I typing into a vacuum?
[04:59] <daedaluz> how I could make a bootable usb stick with dd? I forgot the command
[04:59] <Jordan_U> webbb82: There is nothing wrogn with uninstalling ubuntu-desktop
[04:59] <raven_> it's hard for me to imagine that UNR doesn't allow one to minimize the home screen....
[04:59] <daedaluz> trying to dd UNR on usb stick
[04:59] <hyperstream> Hey guys, was wondering; i have a External USB HDD, with ubuntu on it, i have 3 PC's two with NVIDIA cards and one with ATI, both NVIDIA machines boot fine, but when it comes to the box with the ATI card x fails to start, cant even use the console (flickers really fast cant type at all), is there anyway to set this up so it'll swap what ever it needs to work on each pc ?
[04:59] <hyperstream> if not, this is ok, just wondering tho
[04:59] <webbb82> well when i did that after a reboot i couldnt login
[04:59] <W9ZEB> acovrig: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config which interface is the daemon bound to?
[04:59] <W9ZEB> acovrig: :22  or localhost:22
[05:00]  * DaZ is curious why does nautilus need shedload of patches to be as functional as dolphin 
[05:00] <acovrig> W9ZEB, would `netstat -lt | grep ssh` tell you?
[05:00] <Bookman> Wow, I guess so
[05:00] <W9ZEB> acovrig: installing openssh-server now
[05:00] <daedaluz> DaZ: because Qt4 based KDE apps demand much less oackages to function
[05:00] <Shoff> discon
[05:00] <W9ZEB> Bookman: it's possible nobody currently here knows the answer to your question.?
[05:00] <webbb82> would rm nautilus   del it without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop?
[05:01] <raven_> Bookman: don't ask to ask just ask.  if someone knows tjhe answer they will respond.
[05:01] <Jordan_U> hyperstream: Hold shift during boot to see the frub menu and choose recovery mode, install ssh so you can log in remotely and fix / debug X
[05:01] <Flannel> webbb82: There's nothing dangerous about the removal of ubuntu desktop package.
[05:01] <skyl> what's a good rational speed for cdrecord to burn an ubuntu iso from the command line
[05:01] <skyl> ?
[05:01] <W9ZEB> Bookman: I'm not going to waste your time by saying "gee bookman, I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about the problem you're having"  :(  Sorry.
[05:01] <hyperstream> Jordan_U,  just going to buy and put a nvidia card in it, much easier, thanks tho
[05:01] <Flannel> webbb82: Just remove nautilus via the package manager (and ubuntu-desktop will come along with it)
[05:02] <Bookman> W9ZEB, that would not be a waste. At least an acknowledgment of a post.
[05:02] <W9ZEB> acovrig: one moment please.
[05:02] <unfunf> Anyone here have any experience with fuse?
[05:02] <skyl> for an old geezer cdrw
[05:02] <webbb82> i already tried that but when i rebooted my computer it wouldnt start i just got stuck in ttyl
[05:02] <acovrig> brb - rebooting
[05:02] <raven_> Bookman: that's not how irc works...
[05:02] <Jordan_U> !anyone | unfunf
[05:02] <unfunf> alright
[05:02] <W9ZEB> unfunf: I've used it once or twice.
[05:03] <unfunf> I am trying to get the unmodified attributes of a fies in fuse. I need access to the original modified time (st_mtime), but in order to do this i need access to the original file path
[05:03] <Madpilot> skyl, 4x is always safe, even the most ancient of burners should manage it w/o wrecking the CD-ROM...
[05:03] <unfunf> and i cannot see where fuse gives me such information
[05:04] <BaseBallBoy> help?
[05:04] <unfunf> basically i am taking all files copied into my root directory (the one managed by fuse) and redirecting them to another directory that is on the underlying filesystem
[05:04] <Ghoster> I'm trying to setup ubuntu with 2 video cards a nvida and a ati the nvida has monitors on it and the ati has one.. I have the nvida working but can't get the other one to go...??? any idea anyone ???
[05:04] <unfunf> but i create folders that represent the year&month of that particular file
[05:04] <skyl> Madpilot, cool, thanks I had a CD that said it checked but I burned it in 29 seconds ... I seem to remember it taking 10 minutes before ....
[05:04] <webbb82> oh and it also uninstalls gnome-session and nautilus share
[05:04] <unfunf> but the year/month is incorrect because i am accessing the file as it is created by fuse, not the original file
[05:04] <unfunf> so do you have any idea how to get the original file path?
[05:05] <unfunf> for example, i copy the file from somewhere outside of fuse, i need to get that path.
[05:05] <webbb82> how can i remove nautilus without removing those gnome-session,nautilus-share and ubuntu-desktop
[05:05] <BaseBallBoy> im trying to make my HTTP server public to everyone outside my subnet
[05:05] <unfunf> well that's not an example, that's the idea :P
[05:05] <unfunf> and if you don't know, do you know a channel here or on some other server that would be able to help me answer this question?
[05:05] <unfunf> i cannot find an official fuse channel
[05:05] <DaZ> webbb82: ubuntu-desktop isn't important
[05:06] <Jordan_U> unfunf: What file system? Also ##linux or maybe #kernel would be better
[05:06] <webbb82> ok but isnt gnome-session
[05:06] <unfunf> well the underlying filesystem is ext3 i believe
[05:06] <danielc1> webbb82: try with dpkg -r
[05:06] <unfunf> my fuse filesystem is just something ive made
[05:07] <BaseBallBoy> please help?
[05:07] <raven_> anyone know how to hide the home screen in UNR karmic?  it would be nice to see the wallpaper...
[05:07] <Jordan_U> unfunf: You might be able to cheat using lsof but for a better answer try ##linux or #kernel
[05:07] <unfunf> lsof, let me google that
[05:07] <unfunf> i don't normally use linux
[05:08] <W9ZEB> unfunf: it's "LiSt Open files"
[05:08] <unfunf> hm
[05:08] <W9ZEB> unfunf: :)
[05:08] <unfunf> yeah id rather avoid that :P seems extremely hackish
[05:08] <meong_37> cd
[05:08] <unfunf> although i think ive gone about designing this os in the wrong way
[05:08] <unfunf> err fs
[05:08] <Jordan_U> unfunf: That's why I called it cheating :)
[05:08] <mgj> ? flash
[05:08] <unfunf> hehe
[05:08] <unfunf> damn it. im working on thanksgiving to try to figure this out
[05:08] <W9ZEB> unfunf: me too.
[05:09] <unfunf> i need to use exif headers  too
[05:09] <W9ZEB> waiting for dump to finish backing up a Xen Dom-U because our qa server ate it's lunch at 01:34 on thanksgiving.
[05:09] <unfunf> but i can't access them until the file is finished writing, and the way i sort is during the open & write phase
[05:09] <unfunf> so obviously my logic is flawed. i should maybe sort within readdir
[05:10] <raven_> BaseBallBoy: you are not asking an ubuntu question - your question is network related
[05:10] <skyl> You may not post new threads; You may not post replies; You may not post attachments; You may not edit your posts
[05:10] <skyl> why does it say that on ubuntuforums.org
[05:10] <BadSector> I have tired installing Ubuntu and Mythbuntu 9.10..from iso and web launcher thing on a system that has XP.  Everytime I get it to install. and It comes to the menu where it ask if I want to start XP or Ubuntu.  I select Ubuntu but it shows another "Select OS" screen that only shows XP.. what am I doing wrong?
[05:10] <BaseBallBoy> Argh i was told to ask the question in #ubuntu
[05:10] <Jordan_U> skyl: You aren't logged in
[05:11] <skyl> Jordan_U, I am though
[05:11] <skyl> am I hated for some unstated reason?
[05:11] <skyl> ssavelan is my name on there
[05:11] <skyl> I thought I had like 150 beans or something :P
[05:11] <giantpune> hey boys.  has anybody had the issue that when you unplug the power to a laptop running ubuntu, the screen goes black and must hard reset ?
[05:12] <skyl> Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0
[05:12] <jackeveryman> Anyone use the lamp-server taskel yet? I'm having problems.. It's not querying me for a password
[05:12] <Jeruvy> giantpune: not if the battery is alive and well, any more info?
[05:12] <skyl> end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, logical block 0
[05:13] <skyl> any ideas  of how to diagnose what this means?
[05:13] <giantpune> what other info would help fix it?
[05:13] <W9ZEB> jackeveryman: I'll admit to not even knowing what that is, but I'm interested.
[05:13] <Jeruvy> skyl: bad things ;(
[05:13] <W9ZEB> taskel?
[05:13] <jackeveryman> w9zeb yeah, google lamp-server
[05:13] <skyl> Jeruvy, but how to fiind out about them and their nature?  what is sr0
[05:14] <Jordan_U> skyl: Your cdrom drive
[05:14] <skyl> it might mean that my crappy old broken HD is crappy old and broken, and that's not so bad ..
[05:14] <W9ZEB> jackeveryman: ahh just a meta package for apache/mysql/php?
[05:14] <skyl> Jordan_U, that's actually what I was afraid of ... but it shouldn't be that bad?
[05:14] <skyl> it's what I seem to get when I put a disk in
[05:15] <Jeruvy> skyl: typically a cd/dvd/blueray issue
[05:15] <jackeveryman> w9zeb: yeah, basically, only it works for everyone but me :)
[05:15] <Jeruvy> skyl: or some external drive is crapping out
[05:15] <skyl> how can I find out what devvice sr0 is?
[05:15] <W9ZEB> jackeveryman: got it.
[05:15] <Jeruvy> skyl: try 'mount' in a shell
[05:16] <skyl> al I have is a shell ;(
[05:16] <Jordan_U> skyl: It's /dev/sr0
[05:16] <W9ZEB> jackeveryman: I've never used the metapackage.  I've always just installed the parts manually.  *shrug
[05:16] <W9ZEB> jackeveryman: sorry I can't help you with your problem though :(
[05:17] <acovrig> I'm back - long restart
[05:17] <jackeveryman> w9zeb: That's cool, at least I unf***** my box after upgrading to 9.10, having winXP disappear from grub, updating grub to grub2 to make it detect xp, then getting error 15 and having to liveCD fix the bootoader. Yeah, I'm just happy I'm around.
[05:17] <acovrig> what did I miss?
[05:17] <W9ZEB> jackeveryman: heh.
[05:18] <skyl> all kinds of I/O errors after "/dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only"
[05:18] <skyl> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0 ...
[05:18] <skyl>  after $ mount /dev/sr0
[05:18] <acovrig> W9ZEB, did you answer my question while I was rebooting, or are you still working on it?
[05:19] <W9ZEB> acovrig: I didn't
[05:19] <sshc> jackeveryman: see warning in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 ; you need to use supergrub (not a live session) to boot into your normal installation and purge grub-pc with "apt-get purge grub-pc" (or purge grub2 if that's what you installed), and then "apt-get install grub2", even if you previously installed grub-pc.  Don't run any upgrade-grub commands after the reinstallation.
[05:19] <skyl> so, it's SCSI HD, cdrw or SATA HD ...
[05:19] <W9ZEB> acovrig: you're still unable to ssh user@ip address from another machine?
[05:19] <jackeveryman> sshc: Oh it works fine now, I kicked it until it worked.
[05:19] <skyl> should I just play eenie meenie minee moe?
[05:19] <acovrig> Connection refued or timed out
[05:20] <Jordan_U> sshc: That's not true, see the "error 15" section on that page for the solution
[05:20] <jackeveryman> sshc: There's an article in the wiki on how to fix it.
[05:20] <webbb82> does anyone know of a way to change the default file manager
[05:21] <skyl> if it was a serious problem with the disk/cd I'm using would cdrecord act like everything is okay?
[05:21] <jackeveryman> W9ZEB I think the lamp-server tasksel is for the server edition. That WOULD make sense, but I'
[05:21] <jackeveryman> W9ZEB: *I'm still upset that I have to install all of those packages manually again
[05:22] <W9ZEB> jackeveryman: at least it's not windows.  when was that last time you "upgraded" and didn't ultimately regret not just doing a clean install :)
[05:22] <Flannel> jackeveryman: tasksel is available for all versions
[05:22] <acovrig> W9ZEB, Operation timed out, I can (ssh user@localhost just fine)
[05:22] <skyl> jackeveryman, and by manually you mean with $ sudo apt-get ?
[05:22] <W9ZEB> acovrig: I assume you didn't edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config at all?
[05:22] <acovrig> I just chaned no to yes (maybe) for X11Forwarding
[05:22] <acovrig> that's it
[05:23] <jackeveryman> skyl: haha yeah I know, I'm a lazy bastard. It's all the config files that get me
[05:23] <W9ZEB> acovrig: hmmm.
[05:23] <skyl> it seems like my hit rate of making a good ubuntu CD is about 35%
[05:23] <jackeveryman> Flannel: Well that specific tasksel isn't working for me, so I'm going to leave it be
[05:24] <jackeveryman> W9ZEB: I've never upgraded windows without a full wipe and.. actually yeah, a new computer. I figured that would be hazardous to my mental health.
[05:24] <Flannel> jackeveryman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  will walk you through the process (there's only about half a dozen packages)
[05:24] <baseballer790> :O
[05:24] <baseballer790> HELP ME NAO
[05:24] <acovrig> I had 8.xx ubuntu, upgraded to 9.xx, didn't like the silence (no drivers for sound) and less settings, reinstalled 8.xx (I think 8.4) and now have this problem, it worked just fine in the first 8 and in the 9
[05:24] <skyl> sometimes the first one I burn checks out and works ... but usually ... probably more like 45% ... like a house-rules coin flip game
[05:24] <W9ZEB> acovrig: that's strage.  you've got no firewall running, and you've got ssh listening on 0.0.0.0:12
[05:24] <W9ZEB> s/12/22
[05:24] <Madpilot> baseballer790, ask an actual question.
[05:25] <EntityReborn> any way to set a default Nice value for a program?
[05:25] <EntityReborn> for any user?
[05:25] <baseballer790> My CD drive is broken...and I'm too lazy to disect my computer to fix it...can I install Ubuntu without a CD?
[05:25] <W9ZEB> baseballer790: sure, first bit of help. press the key one to the left of "a" on your keyboard.  next remove it.
[05:25] <Flannel> baseballer790: Yes.
[05:25] <BadSector>  I have tired installing Ubuntu and Mythbuntu 9.10..from iso and web launcher thing on a system that has XP.  Everytime I get it to install. and It comes to the menu where it ask if I want to start XP or Ubuntu.  I select Ubuntu but it shows another "Select OS" screen that only shows XP.. what am I doing wrong?
[05:25] <jackeveryman> Flannel: Oh I know, I have a little file with all the how-tos from previous installs. There's stuff like the subversion nautilus utility and phpmyadmin etc. etc. that are all set up and ready to go with this though. Ah well, when I get the chance to do a clean install it'll probably work
[05:26] <BadSector> (after it sucessfully installs .. )
[05:26] <skyl> if I keep playing I will definitely win some ... but the more I play the more I ultimately lose :D baseballer790 yep, you can install from usb .. how do you think the netbook has ubuntu :D
[05:26] <MagicOvercast> Hi all..
[05:26] <acovrig> baseballer790, If you can use windows ;) or another cp w/ a cd drive, you can put it on a flashdrive, then install it
[05:26] <W9ZEB> acovrig: I'm at a bit of a loss regarding your ssh problem.  that one's got me stumped.
[05:26] <baseballer790> O shit I'm being versioned
[05:26] <W9ZEB> acovrig: I'm not going to insult you by asking if you're sure you've got the right address :)
[05:26] <venger> EntityReborn, maybe /etc/security/limits.conf
[05:27] <EntityReborn> venger, will look
[05:27] <acovrig> that's ok, common mistake, but I have my DHCP server map the address to the MAC address, and I can access it w/ that ip address via port 80 (Abyss Web Server X1)
[05:28] <ScottG489> What does it mean if I run a dpkg --status <package> and it returns "Status: purge reinstreq half-configured"
[05:28] <acovrig> I might try a different port later (its 11:28PM) - ttfn
[05:28] <W9ZEB> 73 acovrig
[05:29] <acovrig> thanks
[05:32] <BadSector> Am I asking my question incorrectly or something? lol
[05:32] <goose> what'a good program to edit a web page with? I don't feel like playing with the whole thing in gedit.
[05:33] <W9ZEB> goose: so suggesting vim is right out.
[05:34] <itilious> could some one please help me open a port or verify my port is open on my karmic installation?
[05:34] <Madpilot> goose, screem or bluefish.
[05:35] <kevdog> does ubuntu supply libs with their mingw32 packages?  Is this the correct channel to ask this?
[05:35]  * NOOB100 is back from: what is kdevloper?. away time: 57sec.
[05:36]  * kcj1993 is here!
[05:36] <soley> @itilious http://www.canyouseeme.org/
[05:37] <itilious> soley, already check it and its not showing my port as open
[05:37] <soley> Have you forwarded it on your router?
[05:38] <itilious> yes
[05:38] <goose> let me rephrase: What's a good GUI web editor? Similar to Dreamweaver for Windows?
[05:39] <itilious> my netstat says its listening on port for tcp6
[05:39] <itilious> should this be tcp?
[05:41] <Trezker> ... shouldn't Firefox have a web editor plugin?
[05:41] <Drake> Hey guys, i need a general question answered and its sort of ... vague so googling hasn't shown much promise
[05:41] <Trezker> I think that'd be a cool thing
[05:41] <goose> ask, Drake
[05:41] <Drake> what would you say in website development is most important to learn
[05:41] <Drake> I just learnt XHTML, javascript and CSS
[05:42] <spO> is there a command to automatically go to the previous direcotry one was in?
[05:42] <BadSector> I am invisible or my question sucks? :(
[05:42] <Drake> cd -
[05:42] <Drake> spO: cd -
[05:42] <Drake> spO: although thats only in command line
[05:43] <code08311> Awesome, just learned something!  beats the heck out of Yahoo chat (that was years ago for me)
[05:43] <Drake> spO: if your looking for keyboard short cuts i think its alt + left arrow key, though don't quote me on that
[05:43] <Trezker> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1002
[05:43] <spO> i installed ffmpeg-mt  , but in the codec file i don't see a codec that is just ffmpeg ... ther eis ffmpeg2 and ffmpeg1 ...
[05:46] <EntityReborn> }part
[05:47] <Drake> so i am curious in website design whats the most important things to learn
[05:48] <Madpilot> Drake, start with basic HTML & CSS. Can't go wrong there.
[05:49] <spO> http://tinyurl.com/y9das4b  <--- why can't this bug be assigned to anyone(s) ? I cannot play 1080p movies because of this bug and since I have did a fresh install of karmic
[05:50] <Drake> Madpilot: I already got that (well most of CSS) and javascript, though i'm a little perplexed as to what else to go into, A part of me says PHP, another AJAX, i kind of want to avoid XML, i don't know why but it just annoys me
[05:50] <paddy_melon> ubottu
[05:51] <Madpilot> Drake, hard to say. #web is a decent channel to hang out in, most of the time. #html & #css likewise.
[05:51] <kotslon> have a problem with vsftpd virtual user authentication http://pastebin.com/m7883e37 can you help me?
[05:51] <spO> why isn't that bug assigned to anyone? how does this process work?
[05:52] <Drake> Madpilot: thanks thats a good suggestion, there were too many channels to search through and i'm using mirc at the moment and it hasn't got any sorting things like xChat
[05:52] <indus> spO, the bug has to have all the info required by the devs then only it will be assigned to someone
[05:53] <Madpilot> sp0, almost all bug sorting & triage is done by volunteers. And there's lots of bugs.
[05:53] <spO> so it has to have enough info for the person to be able to fix it
[05:53] <spO> then someone can simply code it
[05:53] <spO> is that what you are saying?
[05:53] <indus> sp0 eah
[05:53] <indus> yes
[05:53] <indus> sp0what is this bug?
[05:53] <indus> sp0 can i see
[05:54] <code08311> i'm on xchat 2.8.6, and I want to get all of the window panes/frames black and grey
[05:54] <giantpune> ok, i got some more info about the laptop auto hibernating bug
[05:54] <Madpilot> sp0, it's been confirmed and marked as High importance, so the fact that it's not explicitly assigned isn't huge
[05:54] <giantpune> when i unplug the cord, i am told that the battery is dead and the laptop dies
[05:54] <indus> it doesnt matter if it s confirmed, it wont be taken up unless there is all data
[05:55] <indus> giantpune, yes battery is dead, acer ?
[05:55] <giantpune> but i did cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state and it says my battery is not dead
[05:55] <Madpilot> indus, not always true. Depends on the bug and what it's in.
[05:55] <indus> ya that is true also
[05:55] <giantpune> is it ok to paste 5 lines in here?
[05:55] <indus> no
[05:56] <indus> !paste | giantpune
[05:56] <alert2> 5 lines
[05:56] <alert2> i did it

[05:57] <Serena-ko>  hello~
[05:57] <spO> indus, the bug mostly affects 3000+ ati cards... if you try to enable fglrx , then xwindows will not boot up.... you will mostly get a flashing console login screen until you delete xorg.conf .... which in turn also disables the driver
[05:57] <alert2> chinese always write ~ instead of =)
[05:57] <Serena-ko>  ?
[05:57] <spO> madpilot, if it is high importance , then i think it not being assigned to anyone is a big deal/huge
[05:58] <Serena-ko>  a...
[05:58] <spO> indus, it does not affect 4000+ series cards, i think
[05:58] <spO> i speculate that it might be related to refresh rate
[05:58] <Madpilot> sp0, different teams have different practices, I've no idea how the graphic card/drive folks do business
[05:59] <indus> sp0 go to #ubuntu-bugs for ore speedy help on this
[05:59] <Serena-ko>  T.T..
[05:59] <indus> sp0 i solved my problem like that in a day , after waiting for a year :D
[05:59] <Serena-ko>  9.10 is releese (???)
[05:59] <genii> Serena-ko: Yes
[05:59] <Serena-ko>  T_T
[05:59] <moszer> hello & hai everyone, i am new in ubuntu, i need ur guidance
[06:00] <Serena-ko>  Hi~^^
[06:00] <indus> !hi | moszer
[06:00] <Serena-ko>  !ko
[06:00] <Serena-ko>  ../
[06:00] <dave99> ! tvtime
[06:00] <Serena-ko>  I'm charset cp949
[06:00] <Serena-ko>  T.T
[06:00] <Serena-ko>  I'm MIRC (!!)
[06:00] <moszer> how to run compiz? i am trying to active the effect in my ubuntu
[06:01] <alert2> your crazy dude
[06:01] <Madpilot> moszer, it's quite likely running by default already
[06:01] <indus> indus:tvtime is a brilliant piece of software which lets you view television on your pc.Its lightweight and easy to configure and gets you up and running in a minute. :)
[06:01] <dave99> does anyone on know any abut bt878 tuner card
[06:01] <indus> i filled in on ubottu :D
[06:02] <moszer> i'm using ubuntu with virtual box, can the effect still work?
[06:02] <indus> dave99: there is help on tvtime site
[06:02] <dave99> really
[06:02] <indus> dave99: yeah
[06:02] <dave99> i can't find the cardlist
[06:02] <indus> dave99: http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/
[06:03] <indus> dave99: which card is it? can i see dmesg output?
[06:03] <dave99> it's the audio
[06:03] <dave99> i can't get the audio to work
[06:03] <Younder> tvtime is written in perl..
[06:04] <moszer> Madpilot: i have install awn, i click on it, "screen isnt composited, please run compiz" ive just install compiz, am i doing the right thing?
[06:04] <kevdog> does ubuntu supply libs with their mingw32 packages?  Is this the correct channel to ask this?
[06:04] <Flare-Laptop> kevdog: yes
[06:04] <dave99> ok
[06:04] <Madpilot> moszer, never used ubuntu in a VM/v-box, nor awn, so can't really help. I don't even run compiz, can't stand it. Metacity is better.
[06:05] <moszer> Madpilot: remove compiz? then install Metacity?
[06:05] <Trezker> just did a search for bluefish in ubuntu software center, and I got two with seemingly no difference... Why?
[06:06] <kevdog> Flare_laptop: where because within my /usr/i586-mingw32msvc directory I'm not finding a pkgconfig or sys-root directory!
[06:06] <Madpilot> moszer, metacity doesn't do any of the shiny compositing special effects compiz does. which is why I like it.
[06:06] <moszer> Madpilot: & why cant ubuntu be used in v-box?
[06:06] <Flare-Laptop> kevdog: Now that is beyond me
[06:06] <lstarnes> moszer: it can be used in vbox
[06:06] <dave99> would ati hstv wonder card work
[06:06] <lstarnes> moszer: but visual effects might not be able to be used in it
[06:06] <dave99> hdtv
[06:06] <kevdog> Flare_Laptop: I'm wondering if this might not be the correct channel to ask this
[06:06] <moszer> ow that why
[06:06] <e3n|4c> jo
[06:07] <Madpilot> moszer, it can be. It is a lot. Not sure if compiz works there though.
[06:07] <Younder> kevdog, mingw32 is a windows library
[06:07] <e3n|4c> exit
[06:07] <kevdog> Younder: Yes I'm trying to cross compile
[06:07] <moszer> thanks
[06:07] <kevdog> Younder: Yes I'm trying to cross compile Handbrake
[06:08] <e3n|4c> que pasada
[06:08] <Younder> kevdog, first and formost you need the cross compiler version of gcc
[06:08] <moszer> thats all, thanks y'all
[06:08] <moszer> bye
[06:08] <kevdog> Younder: Doesnt mingw provide this?
[06:09] <dave99> the tvtime site does really have much help
[06:09] <dave99> doesn't
[06:09] <dave99> sorry
[06:09] <Younder> kevdog, though since you are using the same processor (ix86) it is mostly for setting some parameters
[06:09] <adhytia> hehe
[06:09] <adhytia> yuhuuu
[06:10] <nacho-tico> hi
[06:10] <Younder> kevdog, mingw32 is a minimal gcc environment for windows
[06:10] <Younder> kevdog, as such it doesn't cross compile
[06:11] <Younder> kevdog, but, if I understand you correctly you want to PORT a linux app Handbrake to Windows?
[06:11] <kevdog> Younder: yes
[06:12] <kevdog> Younder: cross compile -- which they have some instructions on the Handbrake site how to do -- but it seems mingw32 installed from repository doesn't come with a full set of libraries on ubuntu
[06:13] <Younder> kevdog, a cross compile is translating from one processor arcitecture to another
[06:13] <Younder> kevdog, you are PORTing software..
[06:13] <maxinux61> Is there a problem with sourceforge.net?
[06:13] <CHESLYN> hi everyone!!!!!!
[06:14] <kevdog> Youder: Yes I suppose I'm missing terminology
[06:14] <kevdog> Youder: Yes I suppose I'm mixing terminology
[06:14] <genii> maxinux61: Not from here (Canada)
[06:15] <maxinux61> genii: I seem to be timing out when I try updates.
[06:15] <zane> hi i would like some help getting my media keys to work on a dell studio xps 16
[06:15] <Younder> kevdog, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114678
[06:15] <lstarnes> Younder: porting is the act of rewriting a piece of software to work for a different platform
[06:16] <lstarnes> Younder: unless my terminology is mistaken, this is cross-compiling although it's between OSes, not processors
[06:16] <Younder> kevdog, http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=3343.msg35537
[06:16] <CHESLYN> anyone , i have a problem with my slave 'harddrive'.it shows that my pc has detected it but i dont see it on the screen , whats wrong any ideas?
[06:17] <zane> CHESLYN, have you mounted it?
[06:17] <Younder> lstarnes, no that would be porting. There is a bit confusion on the topic though and some people say cross-compiling
[06:17] <lstarnes> Younder: that's not porting
[06:17] <con6> hi there
[06:18] <kevdog> Younder: those links -- which Ive seen are pretty old --
[06:18] <Jeruvy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porting
[06:18] <con6> anybody knows about firewalls?
[06:18] <indus> dave99: http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/cards.html
[06:18] <Younder> kevdog, November 27, 2009
[06:19] <indus> dave99: have you selected proper audio format
[06:19] <dave99> no
[06:19] <Jeruvy> con6: firewalls attempt to stop fire.
[06:19] <kevdog> Younder: Hmm the original threads were 2006
[06:19] <CHESLYN> zane: no , how can i mount it?
[06:19] <con6> i man firewall in ubuntu
[06:20] <Jeruvy> !ufw | con6
[06:20] <zane> is it a brand new drive?
[06:20] <zane> CHESLYN, is it a brand new drive?
[06:20] <con6> ubottu:tanx
[06:20] <lstarnes> con6: what do you need to know about ubuntu's firewalls?
[06:21] <indus> con6: the ubuntu firewall is useless by default,
[06:21] <taco> who would want to hack ubuntu
[06:21] <indus> con6: you need to set rules for it to be effective for anythig
[06:21] <indus> con6: use gufw for a graphical front end to the firewall
[06:21] <billybigrigger> taco, someone who has been told they can't
[06:21] <cooper> hi
[06:22] <indus> con6: what exactly is the question you asking?

[06:33] <ron-l-j> drag and drop to the taskbar
[06:34] <CHESLYN> zane: it says 'mkdir: missing operand' and now what
[06:34] <dave99> ok
[06:34] <dave99> no luck
[06:34] <Dayspring> where do i find Banshee?
[06:34] <ron-l-j> applications sound and video
[06:34] <zane> CHESLYN, you didn't add the temp to make a temp folder
[06:35] <Dayspring> it's not there
[06:35] <ron-l-j> to use MKDIR you need to supply a file name after it
[06:35] <Dayspring> i deleted it by accident from there
[06:35] <zane> Madpilot, ohh i see but its not registering when i pess the volume key to assign it
[06:35] <ron-l-j> Dayspring are you using 9.10 ?
[06:35] <Dayspring> yes
[06:35] <ron-l-j> ok just open your applications menu
[06:36] <ron-l-j> then go to the bottom
[06:36] <Madpilot> zane, odd. usually no issues with that; my MS multimedia keyboard works and configures fine
[06:36] <ron-l-j> and click on ubuntu software center
[06:36] <ron-l-j> then click on sound & video
[06:37] <zane> Madpilot, yeah i dont know whats up.. its a dell xps 16
[06:37] <zane> Madpilot, on windows i had to install a quickset thing to get it to work
[06:37] <ron-l-j> then scroll down to banshee
[06:37] <Madpilot> zane, Dell usually work OK w/ Ubuntu. Check ubuntuforums.com and launchpad.net for bugs and workarounds
[06:37] <alephnull> I have a local mirror of main and updates for karmic and jaunty. When update-manager (on jaunty) indicates that there is a new release, it tries to download everything from the internet.
[06:37] <alephnull> Is there a way to make it use the local partial mirror ?
[06:37] <ron-l-j> double click it and click install
[06:38] <zane> Madpilot, i have been all over the forums with no luck about this model...
[06:38] <asmodeus> Pricey, so got shocked?
[06:38] <Dayspring> banshee is already installed but i have no way to launch it because i can not add it to my menus because i deleted the shortcut and cannot get it back
[06:39] <ron-l-j> hit alt F2
[06:39] <indus> can i disable cool and quiet with cpu freq scaling?
[06:40] <indus> !firewall
[06:40] <ron-l-j> DAYSPRING
[06:40] <Dayspring> yes?
[06:41] <ron-l-j> go to system preferences > main menu it should still be in there
[06:41] <ron-l-j> you can add it back to your menu
[06:41] <indus> can i disable cool and quiet with cpu freq scaling?
[06:41] <indus> can i disable cool and quiet with cpu freq scaling?
[06:41] <ron-l-j> indus why do you want to do that ?
[06:42] <Dayspring> no i'm afraid not.....i really screwed it up!! :P
[06:42] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[06:42] <indus> ron-l-j: to make my pc a tyranausarus for running games
[06:42] <ron-l-j> OK dayspring time to open a command prompt
[06:42] <asmodeus> hee haa
[06:43] <indus> i mean, does it speed up game performance
[06:43] <Dayspring> ok i'm ready
[06:43] <lstarnes> indus: if you use cpufreq's ondemand governor (which is default, I think) then it should automatically adjust the cpu frequency as needed
[06:43] <indus> lstarnes: well, i have my doubts thats why
[06:43] <ron-l-j> ok I am going to install banchee real quick and show you how to locate it in the  command line
[06:43] <lstarnes> indus: it works well enough for me, and I do some considerable high-powered stuff like runing virtualbox
[06:43] <cooper> netsplits
[06:43] <cooper> FTW
[06:44] <muri_one> has ati's linux driver support caught up to nvidia yet? or is nvidia still the king?
[06:44] <indus> lstarnes: ok
[06:44] <Dayspring> Nvidia is the King anyways! :P
[06:44] <indus> muri_one: its good enough
[06:45] <indus> muri_one: i hear
[06:45] <indus> ok
[06:46] <muri_one> I'd like to support the company that's opening up it's hardware specs to open drivers. But at the same time I want something that works with the least amount of hassle right now.
[06:46] <muri_one> and lets me play the occasional game
[06:47] <TironN> hey

[06:51] <ron-l-j> double click and click run in terminal
[06:52] <ron-l-j> any luck ?
[06:52] <Dayspring> nothing....wow....
[06:52] <Dayspring> i screwed it up big time
[06:52] <Dayspring> should i uninstall and reinstall again?
[06:52] <ron-l-j> ok command line time to erase it

[06:56] <maco> Dayspring: it tells you the full path to the directory you are in
[06:56] <lstarnes> kcj1993: "stable" is relative
[06:56] <ron-l-j> dayspring  if your terminal is open and you tipe pwd it will say where you are in the system
[06:56] <maco> kcj1993: did you hit ctrl+alt+backspace?
[06:56] <Dayspring> home/<user name>
[06:56] <kcj1993> no
[06:56] <kcj1993> i know what that does
[06:57] <ron-l-j> dayspring type "cd /"
[06:57] <ron-l-j> Dayspring then hit enter
[06:57] <Dayspring> ok
[06:57] <kcj1993> would the logs give me a hint to what happend?
[06:58] <ron-l-j> dayspring now type "pwd"
[06:58] <Dayspring> ok... it just came back as /
[06:59] <ron-l-j> dayspring good you are at the top of the file system now.
[06:59] <Dayspring> oh ok....cool
[06:59] <ron-l-j> dayspring now type "cd usr"
[07:00] <Dayspring> ok
[07:00] <Balsaq> how do i change mt password
[07:00] <Balsaq> mt=my
[07:00] <lstarnes> Balsaq: which password?
[07:00] <ron-l-j> Dayspring use the "pwd' command again and you should see "usr"
[07:01] <Balsaq> to log into ubuntu
[07:01] <ron-l-j> ls
[07:01] <Dayspring> yup... says /usr
[07:01] <enzotib> Balsaq: passwd username
[07:01] <lstarnes> Balsaq: passwd
[07:01] <Balsaq> in terminal?
[07:01] <lstarnes> Balsaq: where else would it be?
[07:01] <ron-l-j> dayspring now type "cd bin"
[07:01] <Balsaq> ok thanks
[07:02] <Tann> Hello
[07:02] <Dayspring> /usr/bin
[07:02] <The_Journey> anyone know if the new version of boost (1.41.0) is available for boost yet? I tried Synaptic but it still says only 1.40.0

[07:02] <Dayspring> yup, ok
[07:03] <CHESLYN> hi guys , how can i do a sudo mkdir temp or add a temp to make a temp folder?
[07:03] <JGodbout> I have just bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 and installed Karmic on it. The wireless drivers don
[07:03] <Tann> I changed the password for an account and either I mistyped the password both times or something happened, I can no longer log in as this user. Unfortunately this user is the only one who has "sudo" ability. How can I reset the password for this account?
[07:03] <ron-l-j> dayspring We are now going to delete the banshee file ok
[07:04] <JGodbout>  I have just bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 and installed Karmic on it. The wireless drivers don't seem to be existant/working. Is there a way to get my wireless working without using this ndiswrapper thing?
[07:04] <maco> Tann: boot into recovery mode and type "passwd USER"
[07:04] <Dayspring> ok sounds good
[07:05] <ron-l-j> dayspring type "rm banshee" if you dont get any errors banshee was deleted
[07:05] <kcj1993> it just did it again
[07:05] <Tann> maco: I can't edit the grub entry in any way.
[07:05] <Dayspring> permission denied
[07:05] <JGodbout> Ignore me, all is good
[07:05] <maco> Tann: you dont need to edit the entry, just pick a different one
[07:06] <ron-l-j> Dayspring we are going to change the owner ship of the file :D
[07:06] <Dayspring> does sudo rm banshee do anything?
[07:06] <The_Journey> whoa whoa you're not suppose to edit grub.cfg >_>
[07:06] <kcj1993> how the hell can a tab in firefox restart my session?
[07:06] <Tann> maco: I can't pull up the grub menu, it just says "loading grub..." then the OS boots
[07:07] <ron-l-j> dayspring yes it does but you need the permission to delete the file it is a fail safe so accedents dont happen
[07:07] <Dayspring> what if i typed that command?? :P
[07:07] <ron-l-j> dayspring "rm means delete" banshee is the file
[07:08] <kcj1993> that was a question
[07:08] <Tann> maco: I think I may have to download an alternate installer disk and just use that for recoveryt
[07:08] <Dayspring> i typed sudo rm banshee
[07:08] <maco> Tann: oh. boot from a live cd and mount the drive, then edit the /etc/shadow file thats on the drive so that the second field is empty on that user. like if its tann:$6$ghydfjf:... make it tann::...
[07:08] <Dayspring> and it worked
[07:08] <maco> Tann: it should blank the password
[07:08] <ron-l-j> dayspring sweet
[07:08] <Dayspring> but is that ok?
[07:08] <ron-l-j> dayspring yes you deleted the file :D
[07:09] <ron-l-j> cd /
[07:09] <Dayspring> awesome...ok :D
[07:09] <kcj1993> hello?
[07:09] <ron-l-j> sorry
[07:09] <Tann> maco: dead end with that though. I have a software raid set up on my hard drives and can't mount them when on the live CD
[07:09] <maco> Tann: ok then use the alternate cd and do it from a shell
[07:09] <kcj1993> HELLO?
[07:09] <CHESLYN> tann: im having problems to mount my drive any help?
[07:09] <Dayspring> i still have that banshee-1....should i delete that too?
[07:10] <root_> hello everyone
[07:10] <kcj1993> anyone?
[07:10] <lstarnes> kcj1993: we can hear you
[07:11] <ron-l-j> dayspring yes make shure to spell it exactly :D
[07:11] <kcj1993> yet you remain silent!
[07:11] <aftac> Anyone know what needs to be done in Ubuntu 9.10 to make a network drive (WD Sharespace 4TB) work properly and reliably? It can be accessed but after a while it loses access and has to be unmounted and remounted to regain access. If that is not done clicking on the icon opens a number of files in VLC player. Googling, I've only become more confused as I'm not familiar with CIFS/smb/samba and...
[07:11] <aftac> ...perhaps there is something I need to install manually?
[07:11] <lstarnes> kcj1993: you need to be patient.  If we don't know an answer, we won't usually answer
[07:11] <Tann> maco: Oh good, the torrent is going fast tonight. Thanks for the help.
[07:11] <Dayspring> ok good deal...deleted that too
[07:11] <Um_cara_qualquer> how do i install the latest codecs avaliables for ubuntu?
[07:12] <kcj1993> what so sit around and wait for no answer?
[07:12] <lstarnes> kcj1993: it might be something else that you are running causing the crashes
[07:12] <Madpilot> ubottu, codecs | Um_cara_qualquer
[07:12] <root_> Whats the topic here?
[07:12] <kcj1993> its firefox
[07:12] <lstarnes> kcj1993: someone might be looking, but you need to be patient
[07:12] <ron-l-j> dayspring good now type "cd /"
[07:12] <lstarnes> kcj1993: if nobody answers after a while, just ask again
[07:12] <Madpilot> kcj1993, hang out, ask again in 10 minutes or so - lots of churn here
[07:12] <kcj1993> ok
[07:12] <Tann> CHESLYN: I'm not one to ask about that at the moment.
[07:13] <root_> ummm can i know whats the prob @kcj1993
[07:13] <Dayspring> ok back to /
[07:13] <lstarnes> kcj1993: I've never heard of that particular issue, so it is less likely that somebody here would know a solution
[07:13] <CHESLYN> tann: k
[07:13] <furuno> so I wonder, if there's a simple & lighweight presentation app for Gnome/GTK that "fits" with Abiword / Gnumeric (on ubuntu jaunty) ?
[07:13] <ron-l-j> dayspring Now type "locate banshee"
[07:13] <rolantloss> I built an xorg, and it is doing nothing but failing, is there a way I can get the 1280X768 resolution without having to break X over and over again
[07:13] <lstarnes> kcj1993: does it always happen when doing a certain action or visitng a certain site?
[07:14] <migg137> how do i make ubuntu detect my sd card in the slot on my laptop? thanks
[07:14] <kcj1993> if i open this website my session will restart http://openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=1163
[07:14] <Dayspring> ok.....huge list
[07:14] <kcj1993> which is strange
[07:14] <root_> hmm check the package of firefox kcj there is a package error
[07:14] <lstarnes> kcj1993: it's working for me
[07:14] <migg137> nevermind worked by itsef now
[07:14] <lstarnes> kcj1993: does it contain any flash or java?
[07:15] <ron-l-j> dayspring ok all your music files have banshee taks that is the reason for the huge list :D
[07:15] <kcj1993> i don't know
[07:15] <Dayspring> ahhhh ok
[07:15] <ron-l-j> dayspring tags not taks :D
[07:15] <Dayspring> gotcha ;)

[07:17] <Keu> Hi Folks. I'm running Karmic. I can't seem to prevent my display from going to sleep after 10 minutes. I've set Display sleep to Never in Power Management and tried to activate the Inhibit applet but neither seem to work. Screensaver is disabled

[07:26] <Jordan_U> maco: Just so you know !es will give a message saying that in spanish, and there are similar messages for all language channels
[07:27] <maco> Jordan_U: i know, but someone had already done that and been ignored
[07:27] <heisoundfunny333> yeah a google search does nothing pretty much
[07:27] <kcj1993> it did it again
[07:27] <ron-l-j> Any python users here ?

[07:27] <kcj1993> ron-l-j, try #python
[07:28] <e3n|4c> adios a todos good bye everybody
[07:28] <Dayspring> ron, i see nothing when switching to desktop then typing ls
[07:28] <ron-l-j> __IMPORT__THIS
[07:28] <Jordan_U> Blackshadow: What happens when you try to run a perl script? Please be verry specific about what is going wrong or we can't help you
[07:29] <kcj1993> anyone got any ideas?
[07:29] <Blackshadow> i told u i can;t see that when i write sudo perl :D
[07:29] <ron-l-j> dayspring did you"cd"into desktop and then type"ls"
[07:29] <lstarnes> Blackshadow: perl should not be run as root
[07:29] <Jordan_U> Blackshadow: Can't see what?
[07:29] <Blackshadow> i am a root
[07:29] <lstarnes> Blackshadow: check the permissions of /usr/bin/perl
[07:29] <Blackshadow> i mean my user is root
[07:30] <lstarnes> Blackshadow: get a regular user
[07:30] <Jordan_U> Blackshadow: Please explain exactly what you are doing, and what error you get doing it
[07:30] <Blackshadow> same with that too
[07:30] <ron-l-j> Blackshadow can you locate the bin perl file in your path ?
[07:30] <Blackshadow> yes its there
[07:30] <lstarnes> Blackshadow: make sure the the script that you are trying to execute is marked as executable (use chmod +x scriptname)
[07:30] <ron-l-j> Blackshadow did you chmod it?
[07:31] <lstarnes> Blackshadow: or use perl scriptname
[07:31] <Blackshadow> ahmm no i guess
[07:31] <ron-l-j> Blackshadow "chmod 777"
[07:31] <Dayspring> yes, nothing listed with banshee
[07:32] <lstarnes> kcj1993: try reinstalling firefox
[07:32] <Blackshadow> ahmm  k lemme try
[07:32] <ron-l-j> dayspring good that is the location you accedently deleted it from before
[07:32] <lstarnes> kcj1993: if that fails, remove your ~/.mozilla/firefox or ~/.mozilla or move it elsewhere
[07:32] <ron-l-j> dayspring cd ..
[07:32] <ron-l-j> sorry
[07:32] <lstarnes> kcj1993: removing those will erase your settings
[07:32] <Dayspring> type cd .. ?
[07:33] <Dayspring> ok done
[07:33] <pfred1> Hi. I'm new to Ubuntu and was wondering how I could change my color depth in X?
[07:33] <ron-l-j> dayspring never mind the cd .. that is a command to move up one file :D no worries
[07:33] <heisoundfunny333> fuck this
[07:34] <maco> !language | heisoundfunny333
[07:34] <Dayspring> ok, so go back to desktop then?
[07:34] <heisoundfunny333> damn this
[07:34] <Jordan_U> pfred1: 24 is the same as 32 if that is why you are asking
[07:34] <kcj1993> crashed again, i think it's java
[07:34] <maco> heisoundfunny333: the forums really are the place to ask questions about weird hardware
[07:34] <pfred1> Jordan_U really I see no way of even checking it yet.
[07:34] <maco> heisoundfunny333: because they dont depend on you and the other person with the same hardware being around at the same time
[07:34] <Blackshadow> well i got that solved
[07:34] <heisoundfunny333> links
[07:35] <maco> heisoundfunny333: ubuntuforums.org
[07:35] <Blackshadow> get the opera for ubuntu @kcj
[07:35] <ron-l-j> dayspring "cd /"  then "cd /usr/share/app-install/icons
[07:36] <Dayspring> ok
[07:36] <ron-l-j> Blackshadow cool it is so easy to for get permissions it happens to all of us :D
[07:36] <Blackshadow> no i did got that updated
[07:36] <General13372> hey
[07:36] <Blackshadow> actually i am using backtrack
[07:36] <General13372> im having trouble making partitions
[07:36] <General13372> it keeps giving me an error saying
[07:36] <General13372> got it
[07:36] <General13372> Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.

[07:37] <pfred1> By default does Ubuntu 9.10 not set up an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[07:38] <bobo> hey guys, i'm trying to rip a home movie dvd to a avi (or any movie format for that  matter) and I've tried like 5 diff programs and nothing has worked cuz itz either been terrible quailty or just an error
[07:38] <CHESLYN> guys i have a problem with my drive i can find it or see it. but when i switch on the pc it shows that it has detected it.any idea whats wrong?
[07:38] <ron-l-j> Dayspring that should take care of it. one final check is to open your synaptic package manager under admin
[07:38] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Yes, all distros are ( or will be ) using no xorg.conf by default
[07:38] <Dayspring> ok
[07:38] <pfred1> CHESLYN I use mencoder from mplayer
[07:38] <Blackshadow> any perl programmer??
[07:38] <Jordan_U> pfred1: You can still create one if you need one
[07:38] <om26er> !ot | Blackshadow
[07:39] <lstarnes> Blackshadow: this channel is for ubuntu only
[07:39] <CHESLYN> pfred1: what do mean?
[07:39] <lstarnes> Blackshadow: #perl can help with perl
[07:39] <pfred1> Jordan_U I've seen different opinions about that on some forums I was lead to from Google so I am not entirely sure if that is 100% accurate or not.
[07:39] <Blackshadow> ok
[07:39] <Jordan_U> bobo: Try handbrake
[07:39] <CHESLYN> pfred1: what do you mean?
[07:39] <pfred1> CHESLYN what i mean is I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
[07:39] <bobo> lol, that's what i'm actually tryin right now. prayin that it'll work
[07:40] <ron-l-j> dayspring click on the lower left of the package manager "status"
[07:40] <CHESLYN> pfred1:k but do you have a slave?
[07:40] <Dayspring> ok...done
[07:40] <pfred1> CHESLYN beyond that the resolutions setup are inadequate.
[07:41] <ron-l-j> Dayspring select "installed" and scrool down to banchee click it and mark it for complete removal
[07:41] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Upsream Xorg has slowly been depending less and less on an Xorg.conf and doing more autodetection, Ubuntu does not need an Xorg.conf anymore and therefore doesn't ship one by default ( though it will add one if you change the default, for instance installing nvidia drivers through Hardware Drivers )
[07:41] <pfred1> CHESLYN I'm new to Ubuntu but not exactly new to Linux I have seen things working better.
[07:41] <Dayspring> ok done
[07:41] <ron-l-j> Dayspring remove it apply changes
[07:41] <osvaldo> how to fix
[07:41] <pfred1> Jordan_U well I hate to break it to anyone but I had better hardware detection in 2003
[07:41] <Dayspring> alright...that part is done
[07:41] <osvaldo> missing dependences
[07:42] <Keu> Hi. I'm running 9.10 on a desktop. I can't seem to prevent my display from going to sleep after 10 minutes. I've set Display sleep time to Never in Power Management and tried to activate the Sleep Inhibit applet but neither seem to work. Screensaver is disabled. Any ideas?
[07:42] <Jordan_U> pfred1: What gfx card?
[07:42] <CHESLYN> pfred1: so any idea that i can show my slave drive on ubuntu
[07:42] <pfred1> Jordan_U and got the XF86Config files to prove it too!
[07:42] <Dayspring> so should i install it in the software center?
[07:42] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Anecdotes don't really mean much :)
[07:42] <ron-l-j> Dayspring reinstall it and you should be good as new :D
[07:43] <ron-l-j> dayspring yes thats fine :D
[07:43] <pfred1> Jordan_U sec let me check
[07:43] <Dayspring> ok just installed....let's see what happens
[07:43] <pfred1> Jordan_U ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF
[07:44] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Though a slightly more meaningfull anecdote is that I see a *lot* less questions about not getting full resolution in this channel now than a few years ago
[07:44] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN do you have gparted installed ?
[07:44] <Blackshadow> run the cfdisk cheslyn
[07:44] <ron-l-j> Dayspring fingers srossed :D
[07:44] <pfred1> Jordan_U oh i have full resolution it is the dozen other resolutions I seem to be missing
[07:44] <Dayspring> :-$ didn't work
[07:44] <Blackshadow> in console
[07:44] <Lostinspace_46> I did a "sudo remove --purge" on gimp.  I have about 125 files left over.  How can I get full permissions on all the files at once, so I can just select them all, and move them to trash?
[07:45] <pfred1> Jordan_U that and i am getting horrible artifacts on my screen when I drag a window
[07:45] <ron-l-j> ok then go to the banchee site down load the tar file and install it in a seperate directory :D
[07:45] <KindOne> pfred1: i think this is helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510606
[07:45] <pfred1> Jordan_U which is why I want to check the dolor depth and hopefully change it to something that'll make that stop!
[07:46] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Try turing off compiz ( desktop effects in System > Preferences > Appearance ) and can you pastebin the output of "xrandr" ?
[07:46] <pfred1> KindOne been there read that
[07:46] <ron-l-j> dayspring http://banshee-project.org/
[07:46] <om26er> !info freepats
[07:46] <muri_one> Is there any kind of up to date system guide out there for putting together a linux friendly desktop machine?(that can play some games too)
[07:46] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Why do you suspect color depth is the problem
[07:46] <Dayspring> oh well, thanks for your help ron.....i appreciate your time
[07:46] <Jeruvy> muri_one; have you looked at ubuntu desktop recently?
[07:46] <Blackshadow> good bye all need to have my hands on new language lol
[07:47] <Jay360> is the downloads for Pc or 360?
[07:47] <ron-l-j> dayspring download source tarrball
[07:47] <pfred1> Jordan_U because supposedly this card sucks in 16 bit and is better in 32 or 24 if you prefer
[07:47] <CHESLYN> Blackshadow: i tried to run cfdisk ,n it says ''fatal error: cannot open disk drive''
[07:47] <kcj1993> anyone?
[07:47] <pfred1> Jordan_U really I'm just hoping to make the artifacts go away
[07:47] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn is your drive mounted ?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> muri_one: You mean other than help.ubuntu.com ?
[07:47] <Jay360> downloads for Pc or 360???
[07:47] <Dayspring> ok
[07:48] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Try disabling compiz
[07:48] <Blackshadow> CHESLYN: join me on gmail or yahoo
[07:48] <DaZ_> Dayspring: what are you doing? :f
[07:48] <ron-l-j> dayspring  go to your downloads folder\
[07:48] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: no , how can i mount it
[07:48] <Dayspring> ok
[07:48] <newby> Hi All, I am new to ubuntu (from xp) and I am really
[07:49] <newby> impressed
[07:49] <payne_> he where do I start if I want to get serious about linux?
[07:49] <payne_> hey
[07:49] <CHESLYN> Blackshadow: i have gmail n than what?
[07:49] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn you have to unmount it. there is a great graphical tool called gparted that makes it so easy, we could use the command line all day but it would be easier to install gparted
[07:49] <muri_one> Jordan_U: I mean a guide of suggested hardware. Such and such motherboard, cpu, network card, video card and so on. Something like the ars system guides, but with some linux/ubuntu focus
[07:49] <Dayspring> DaZ, i screwed up my Banshee....trying to get it back
[07:49] <Blackshadow> CHESLYN: wait here i will get my Blackshadow id will add u there hold on
[07:49] <Jordan_U> !hardware | muri_one
[07:49] <DaZ> Dayspring: by recompiling it? :f
[07:50] <ron-l-j> Dayspring make a folder there call mb
[07:50] <ron-l-j> Dayspring we are going ot compile it  with the command line
[07:50] <pfred1> Jordan_U desktop effects are disabled.
[07:50] <newby> i have a sound issue with a EMU10k1 and I was wondering if anyone can help me.... I have search everywhere but all the possible solutions don't seem to work
[07:50] <Dayspring> ok
[07:50]  * DaZ doesn't see the point :c
[07:51] <pfred1> Jordan_U typically I don't go in for nonsense like that and turn that sort of thing off but its been off.
[07:51] <ron-l-j> Dayspring put the banshee tar ball in the folder
[07:51] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: there is'nt even a caommand that i can execute in terminal to get gparted?
[07:51] <Dayspring> ok
[07:51] <newby> I get this error on speaker test
[07:51] <newby> @HomeUbuntu-PC:~$ aplay -Dsurround51 11k16bitpcm.wav

[07:51] <pfred1> Jordan_U should i enable the desktop effects?
[07:51] <FloodBot2> newby: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:52] <muri_one> Jordan_U: I'm more looking for a guide where someone has gone through the work of putting together a few builds that work well.
[07:52] <Jordan_U> pfred1: If they are disabled you probably don't have hardware accellerated 3d right now
[07:52] <newby> sorry
[07:52] <ron-l-j>  CHESLYN "sudo apt-get gparted"
[07:52] <arvind_khadri> hi,how do i create user writable ext3 partitions?
[07:52] <pfred1> Jordan_U yes is there like an xf86config like app for xorg?
[07:52] <Jordan_U> muri_one: You can buy a computer from system76 or Dell http://dell.com/ubuntu
[07:52] <Madpilot> ron-l-j, "sudo apt-get install gparted" will likely work better...
[07:53] <arvind_khadri> ron-l-j, you missed install
[07:53] <ron-l-j> Dayspring open your mb folder and click the tar ball and use the extract here option
[07:53] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Xorg --configure
[07:53] <pfred1> Jordan_U because something tells me this is configged like garbage now
[07:53] <newby> sound works only in front channel
[07:53] <pfred1> Jordan_U ta will try that!
[07:53] <Blackshadow> CHESLYN: join me on  Blackshadow.Apocalypse
[07:53] <ron-l-j> Madpilot yes thankyou :D
[07:54] <Lostinspace_46> OK. If I drop to root from the  CD's boot menu how much control over the system do I actually have.  For instance, can I delete and create files and folders?
[07:54] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Sorry, only one dash ( -configure )
[07:54] <Dayspring> ok got it
[07:54] <pfred1> Jordan_U OK
[07:54] <muri_one> Jordan_U: that might be exactly what I need, thanks
[07:54] <Jordan_U> pfred1: I doube that artifacts would be caused by misconfiguration, sounds like a driver problem to me
[07:54] <pfred1> Jordan_U one more question run that in an xterm in X or drop to a console and run it?
[07:55] <Jordan_U> muri_one: np
[07:55] <Dayspring> and i cd to the mb folder
[07:55] <pfred1> Jordan_U I doubt i am using the correct driver
[07:55] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Console
[07:55] <ron-l-j> Dayspring now you need to get in side that folder using the command line can you get there ?
[07:55] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: must i install it without verification?
[07:55] <newby> any suggestions?
[07:55] <CHESLYN> Blackshadow: k i'll do so
[07:55] <pfred1> Jordan_U this system has run Ubuntu 6.04 I believe it was and it didn't do these things
[07:55] <Blackshadow> ok
[07:55] <Farroos> Hi
[07:56] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn yes that is fine it is a gnome program based on the command line you can not hurt it and it is a trusted source
[07:56] <Dayspring> yup i'm there
[07:56] <Jordan_U> pfred1: COuld be a regressuion in the radeon driver, I assume you never used fglrx?
[07:56] <Dayspring> sudo make install ron?
[07:56] <pfred1> Jordan_U never even heard of it but I'll search the term now that i have
[07:57] <Farroos> Anyone developing symbian software on ubuntu?
[07:57] <Dayspring> or is it sudo apt-get make install ?
[07:57] <pfred1> Jordan_U usually I'm a nvidia kind of a guy but I'm fresh out now
[07:57] <ron-l-j> Dayspring neither
[07:57] <Jordan_U> pfred1: It's the proprietary ati driver, it's never been installed by default so you would have had to install it yourself
[07:57] <Dayspring> oh crap...:(
[07:57] <ron-l-j> Dayspring we are going to compile it from source
[07:57] <Dayspring> ok what is it?
[07:58] <pfred1> Jordan_U at this stage of the game if it fixes what is going on I'd give it a shot but I am just thinking the wrong driver is running
[07:58] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[07:58] <smknight_> there is a very easy ati fix
[07:58] <pfred1> Jordan_U sure
[07:58] <sukumar> Hi eveybody
[07:59] <newby> I added a .soundrc file but how do I know that it is loading properly?

[07:59] <sukumar> Can I know how to use Reliance netconnect on my ubuntu 8.10?.
[07:59] <muri_one> well dell is out. It's not letting me build a ubuntu system without buying a monitor
[07:59] <maco> newby: i think its supposed to be .asoundrc
[08:00] <DaZ> ron-l-j: what are you trying to achieve by recompiling it?
[08:00] <smknight_> muri_one: just call them
[08:00] <DaZ> no offence but it seems strange <:

[08:08] <pfred1> Jordan_U yeah between the drag artifacts and my lack of usable resolutions I knew something had to be messed up thanks for all your help
[08:08] <ron-l-j> dayspring "sudo apt-get install intltool '

[08:09] <rww> neriko: It looks like you didn't set up Medibuntu properly. One sec, I'll get you the instructions.
[08:09] <Madpilot> neriko, seems like you need to import the medibuntu key again

[08:10] <pfred1> Jordan_U I've been thinking I'll merge some info from an olf XF86Config file i have on this system because the monitor is "unknown" really I should just get a new gfx card
[08:10] <rww> neriko: or, "sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring" should also do it.

[08:11] <pfred1> Jordan_U sec have to let my cat out bbiab

[08:12] <LinuxGuy2009> Hey guys I just got a new wireless mouse for my Dell Mini here and Im testing openarena on it but the audio is completely rubbish static stuttering. Im assuming its a pulseaudio problem. How can I fix this?
[08:12] <Oracle_> Lostinspace_46 thanks & ..u forgoe install  "sudo apt-get install emerald"
[08:13] <Lostinspace_46> Oracle_, OOPS, my bad
[08:13] <DaZ> Dayspring: dude
[08:13] <moonbaker> I've searched the ubuntu forums, and a few other ppc linux specific forums, and can't find a solution for this problem: medibuntu repositories don't support powerpc for karmic koala. Is it possible to use jaunty medibuntu on karmic? Or is there another recommended solution?
[08:13] <DaZ> just reinstall banshee from the repo
[08:14] <Dayspring> i tried that already DaZ....i really screwed it up
[08:14] <ron-l-j> Don't forget alt F2 emerald --replace
[08:14] <sukumar> thank you Lostinspace_46
[08:14] <Lostinspace_46> Oracle_,  I have aliases set for a lot of commands, so I sometimes misspeak.
[08:14] <DaZ> Dayspring: and what happened when you tried
[08:14] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: i'm having problem my achivement  and it serious now can oyu help me
[08:14] <Lostinspace_46> sukumar, You are most welcome
[08:14] <Oracle_> Np
[08:14] <ron-l-j> Dayspring what happened ?
[08:15] <Oracle_> thats why i said forgot
[08:15] <DaZ> because recompiling it and listening to someone who told you to remove binaries won't do any good.
[08:15] <Jordan_U> pfred1: This isn't a PPC mac is it?
[08:15] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn you are ??? what now ?
[08:15] <Dayspring> well, one i couldn't get the shortcut added back to the menus and two, it won't launch.....and it still won't launch :(
[08:15] <pfred1> Jordan_U ~
[08:15] <rww> moonbaker: It'd be unsupported, but you could try it. What out of medibuntu were you planning to install?
[08:15] <LinuxGuy2009> If I remove puleaudio package from my system I also lose the volume applet so is it possible to remove pulseaudio on 9.10?
[08:15] <Jordan_U> pfred1: ?
[08:15] <pfred1> Jordan_U opps just got back from cat there no it is an old Gateway
[08:16] <Lostinspace_46> OK. If I drop to root from the  CD's boot menu how much control over the system do I actually have.  For instance, can I delete and create files and folders?
[08:16] <maco> LinuxGuy2009: you can modify volume in command line "alsamixer" if youre not using pulseaudio
[08:16] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Just so you know I have to leave in about 15 minutes
[08:17] <ron-l-j> Dayspring the problen is deeper than I can help you with right now. I would save my personal files to a thumb drive or a external hard drive and start fresh
[08:17] <pfred1> Jordan_U I never used this PC very much in the past but now that I am using it I am not liking this video adapter much I think i need to change it.
[08:17] <DaZ> ron-l-j: ...
[08:17] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: You can do anything from the LiveCD
[08:17] <Dayspring> thanks again for your help ron....i appreciate it....take care
[08:17] <LinuxGuy2009> maco: Theres no GTK gui front end or alternative?
[08:17] <lstarnes> Dayspring: what was the issue that you were having?
[08:17] <ron-l-j> EVERYONE makeing a /home partition on your Linux hard disc will save you from loosing your personal files and makeing a fress install easy
[08:18] <maco> LinuxGuy2009: you could use the kde frontend, kmix. but gnome is all about pulseaudio these day
[08:18] <maco> *days
[08:18] <Dayspring> my banshee....i really screwed it up. i uninstalled it and deleted it from the menu sound and video....reinstalled and can't launch it or get it back on the menus
[08:18] <LinuxGuy2009> maco: I wish they would have tested it more instead of integrating a broken system.
[08:18] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U,  Do I need to do anything special?  Like to delete files?
[08:19] <DaZ> Dayspring: logs.
[08:19] <DaZ> show me the logs!
[08:19] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn what are you running in to ?
[08:19] <lstarnes> ron-l-j: I think you are using an overly convoluted method to fix Dayspring's problem
[08:19] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: What specifically are you trying to do and why?
[08:19] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: there is'nt even a command that i can execute in terminal to get gparted?
[08:19] <AndrelaS> Добрый день всем
[08:19] <lstarnes> Dayspring: try reinstalling it (sudo aptitude reinstall banshee)
[08:19] <Lostinspace_46> I did a "sudo remove --purge" on gimp.  I have about 125 files left over.  How can I get full permissions on all the files at once, so I can just select them all, and move them to trash?

[08:19] <Madpilot> LinuxGuy2009, PA isn't actually broken for *everyone*, hard as that may be for some to believe...
[08:19] <moonbaker>  
[08:19] <lstarnes> Dayspring: after doing so, see if you can launch it from the terminal
[08:20] <moonbaker> alksjdflk
[08:20] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: i'm having problem my achive and it serious now can you help me out
[08:20] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn sudo apt-get install gparted
[08:20] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, I tried "sudo -i" but that didn't work
[08:20] <Dayspring> how do you launch from terminal?
[08:20] <LinuxGuy2009> Madpilot: Is there any adjustments that I can make to help pulseaudio to work without the garbled audio?
[08:20] <moonbaker>  
[08:20] <DaZ> Dayspring: type banshee
[08:20] <Madpilot> moonbaker, please don't post gibberish
[08:21] <bazhang> moonbaker, did you have a support question
[08:21] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: What specifically are you trying to do and why?
[08:21] <DaZ> !tab|Dayspring
[08:21] <DaZ> wtf
[08:21] <tsimpson> return from netsplit
[08:21] <pfred1> DaZ netsplit
[08:21] <Madpilot> LinuxGuy2009, I really don't know - have you checked the various PA help pages?
[08:21] <DaZ> pfred1: i know
[08:21] <Madpilot> ubottu, pulse |  LinuxGuy2009
[08:21] <DaZ> but this one was very unexpected ;f
[08:21] <LinuxGuy2009> Madpilot: No I havent.
[08:21] <pfred1> this network used to be sooooo much better .....
[08:22] <DaZ> it's still good.
[08:22] <Reactor> o_0
[08:22] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, I removed and purged gimp.  I want to remove the left over files.(125)
[08:23] <pfred1> does Gnome do autoraise and autofocus? and if yes where can I set that? I really hate the new KDE :(
[08:23] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[08:23] <ron-l-j> Dayspring right click on your misic file and select open with banshee
[08:23] <Dayspring> lol can't even do that ron!!! :D
[08:23] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U,  "sudo" didn't work, nor does"sudo -i"
[08:24] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: In what way didn't it work?
[08:24] <Madpilot> pfred1, you mean "focus follows mouse"? I think so.
[08:24] <Dayspring> can you repair ubuntu with a CD?
[08:24] <pfred1> Madpilot I was never a big fan of gnome but it is better than the version of KDE I have now
[08:24] <lstarnes> Dayspring: I don't think this warrants a system repair
[08:24] <ron-l-j> cann you ply them with movie player DAYSPRING ?
[08:24] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[08:25] <rww> pfred1: there's an option for it in System -> Preferences -> Windows
[08:25] <ron-l-j> Dayspring you can repair it with your live cd
[08:25] <Madpilot> pfred1, System->Preferences->Windows has a "select windows when the mouse moves over them" option - sounds like what you want
[08:25] <pfred1> rww ta
[08:25] <Dayspring> yeah they can play with rhythmbox and movie player
[08:25] <lstarnes> Dayspring: if you purge banshee and reinstall it, it should probably work again
[08:25] <bazhang> Fayntic, hi
[08:26] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, Sorry..more specifically  "sudo -i" should give me full permissions on all folders.  However it let me remove some folders but not others. And seemingly no files.
[08:26] <bazhang> !give me a test
[08:26]  * giantpune_ gives me a perl script
[08:26] <lstarnes> Dayspring: you may also need to delete ~/.banshee if it exists in order to clear your settings
[08:26] <pfred1> Madpilot yes once i found it I fixed it waaaay better!
[08:26] <DaZ> lstarnes: i think he doesn't want it to work ;f
[08:26] <Dayspring> what is the command for that lstarnes?
[08:26] <bazhang> giantpune_, disable that script
[08:26] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: must i install it without verification?and after that it says The following packages cannot be authenticated!gparted
[08:26] <pfred1> Madpilot I got my wondow shading too!
[08:26] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: What is the exact command you are running and what is the error that you get?
[08:26] <Younder> lstarnes, I don't know sudo not working is weird
[08:26] <Madpilot> pfred1, to each his own; I tried the 'focus follows mouse' thing a while back, it drove me nuts.
[08:26] <lstarnes> Dayspring: sudo aptitutde purge banshee && sudo aptitude install banshee
[08:27] <pfred1> Madpilot its all in the delay and i guess being used to it
[08:27] <Macyn> Madpilot its all in the delay and i guess being used to it
[08:27] <jone1> #list
[08:27] <rww> !list | jone1
[08:28] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U,  No command per-se. I used "sudo -i" and made the password, expecting to select all the files and folders and delete them all at once.
[08:28] <jone1> !list
[08:28] <Jordan_U> pfred1: If you mean selecting a windows when you move the mouse over it and then raising it after a period of time, yes gnome has that option
[08:28] <Younder> Lostinspace_46, what?
[08:28] <permalac> hello
[08:28] <ron-l-j> Dayspring you should do a reboot and try to play the files again,
[08:28] <DaZ> omfg
[08:28] <DaZ> that was awesome
[08:28] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: "made the password"?
[08:28] <pcbuilder97> hey whats a good desktop recorder for ubuntu????
[08:29] <Dayspring> ok brb
[08:29] <pfred1> Jordan_U yeah others fixed me up with where to find it i feel much better now and will stay in The Gnome the new KDE is horrible!
[08:29] <rww> pcbuilder97: "desktop recorder" meaning something that'll take a video recording of your desktop?
[08:29] <pcbuilder97> yes
[08:29] <Younder> Lostinspace_46, for one thing you don't 'make' the password with sudo, you 'use' it
[08:29] <rww> ubottu: screencast | pcbuilder97
[08:29] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN it asks you y/n ? correct ?
[08:29] <skyl> it looks like you can't have a bad HD plugged in and try to install ubuntu to an adjacent good HD ...
[08:29] <Younder> Lostinspace_46, passwd sets the password
[08:29] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Have you tried the xorg.conf I sent you?
[08:29] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: what must i do ?
[08:30] <permalac> i would like to explain a weird thing about quest/vintela or authentication services to someone. It executes the logonscript if i go root and type 'login', but it does not if i just reboot the computer and authenticate. does anybody seen this before?  thanks
[08:30] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, when I do "sudo -i" then I use "sudo password root" and enter a password
[08:30] <rww> skyl: that tends to be the case, since various parts of Ubuntu will try to access the bad HD, yes.
[08:30] <Madpilot> pcbuilder97, there's "istanbul" - never used it myself
[08:30] <pcbuilder97> ok thanx i tried istanbul and record my desktop and they didnt work ill try the athers and see what happens
[08:30] <Pricey> !give me something random
[08:30]  * giantpune_ gives me a cherry tree
[08:30] <bluejeans> can anyone recommend an app to strip audio from an .mp4?
[08:30] <lstarnes> Lostinspace_46: you should not set a root password
[08:30] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: Why did you do that?
[08:30] <pfred1> Jordan_U i downloaded it but I'll probably fix the modeline section put in my old ones and I am thinking of just putting a new video adapter into this machine too
[08:30] <Younder> Lostinspace_46, second sudo is a command line utillity, you can't 'select' anything
[08:30] <Madpilot> giantpune_, kill that script right away, please.
[08:31] <Jordan_U> pfred1: With fbdev you can only have one resolution ( determined at boot )
[08:31] <ron-l-j> CHeslyn when you run sudo apt-get install gparted does it ask you if you want to install y/n ? or does it fail giving you no option to enter y
[08:31] <jone1> booting my raid1 drops me to the busybox with alert  md0 not found, typing mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 within the busybox works like a charm...any ideas?
[08:31] <jonz> does anyone know how berkely's signature is in so many man pages? I ask especially in reference to the ones like logger, which even says at its footer that its a *linux* util.
[08:31] <pfred1> Jordan_U yeah it is horrible I tried changing res doing some youtube earlier and was like wth?
[08:32] <lstarnes> jonz: a lot of *nix networking utilities originally came from UC Berkeley's BSD
[08:32] <pfred1> Jordan_U from poking around some and not having settings in places i should have I knew something major bad was up.
[08:32] <Jordan_U> pfred1: I need to manually use fbdev because of a crappy sis card I have but I've never heard of it being used by default
[08:32] <ron-l-j> JONZ berkely is the place where BSD UNIX is based and many linux libraries and command come from UNIX
[08:32] <jonz> so that man pages were  left unchanged? even though that one was clearly changed since BSD?
[08:33] <pfred1> Jordan_U I just loaded this machine up yesterday I haven't changed very much yet.
[08:33] <ron-l-j> Berkley Science Department
[08:33] <lstarnes> ron-l-j: no
[08:33] <lstarnes> ron-l-j: Berkeley Software Distribution
[08:33] <Jordan_U> pfred1: I need to leave soon, do you mind trying that xorg.conf now to satisfy my curiosity? :)
[08:33] <pfred1> Jordan_U i was running SuSE 8.2 since 2003 before and hadn't messed with much there for quite some time now.
[08:33] <ron-l-j> YES Lstarnes thank you :D
[08:34] <pfred1> Jordan_U sure i'll drop it in and restart X you've been a great help
[08:34] <rww> jonz: I'm not seeing a "Berkeley signature" in the three manpages Ubuntu has entitled "logger"
[08:34] <jonz> I know what berkley is, and what bsd stahnds for. it was more just a curious thing of why they'd still have BSD signatures on them if they've all probably been edited in one way or another
[08:34] <skyl> wt ... 69% and I get errno 5 input/output error
[08:34] <jonz> rww: sorry if this is a lot of text:      The logger command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
[08:34] <ron-l-j> Still part of the unix shell
[08:34] <jonz> 4.3 Berkeley Distribution                                                      June 6, 1993                                                     4.3 Berkeley Distribution
[08:34] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, OK I read a tut, It said type "sudo -i" and that would temporarily be like logging in as root. It also said the I had to enable it by typing "sudo passwd root". Using search feature I found all the left over files.  I want to select them all, and delete them all at once. To do this I need to have full permissions on all the files and folders, and the tut said that "sudo -i" etc. would do it
[08:34] <skyl> I guess it's time to check into booting from usb ...
[08:35] <jone1> booting my raid1 drops me to the busybox with alert  md0 not found, typing mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 within the busybox works like a charm...any ideas?
[08:35] <lstarnes> jonz: the pages are often changed but the editors often leave the BSD signatures
[08:35] <skyl> why can the install not back up and try again where there was an IO error?
[08:35] <ron-l-j> skyl Unetbootin works great
[08:36] <pfred1> Jordan_U bbiab
[08:36] <skyl> ron-l-j, yeah, that's how I did this netbook that I'm typing on
[08:36] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: You don't need to enable anything to use sudo -i, and you don't want to run "sudo passwd root" unless you really know what you are doing
[08:36] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: yes it ask me y/n
[08:36] <andrew[andrboot]> Hi guys, running 9.10 ubuntu server, wanting to make eth0 & eth1 brdiged i.e. eth3 (same subnet etc) i know it can be done in windows.. haven't gotten to work on ubuntu here is my interfaces: (it loops back on itself) http://pastebin.com/d68bbb658
[08:36] <ron-l-j> cool U was running UNR then went to moblin
[08:36]  * andrew[andrboot] sighs
[08:36] <gerzel> hey I want to log-into my computer using ssl.  How do I look up the adress for it?
[08:36] <skyl> but seems a little odd for the desktop ... I wonder if the bios will even let me boot from usb ..
[08:36] <andrew[andrboot]> bazhang any ideas?
[08:37] <lstarnes> gerzel: ssh, you mean?
[08:37] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN type Y and hit enter
[08:37] <gerzel> ssh yeah
[08:37] <jonz> rww: (just curious if you actually found yourself at a different man page or what) - did yu find that signature I showed you? or are you still not seeing that in your man page?
[08:37] <gerzel> sorry its late
[08:37] <lstarnes> gerzel: you can use ifconfig to find the local address
[08:37] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, OK. I'll accept that, but why does it not give me full permissions?
[08:37] <blackduck> check your ipconfig
[08:37] <blackduck> ifconfig
[08:37] <Younder> gerzel, you don't. But if you are alread loggen in use ifaddress to figure it out
[08:38] <Younder> ifconfig, sorry
[08:38] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, Or am I missing something here?
[08:38] <lstarnes> gerzel: if you are behind a router, you'll need to use the router's public IP and forward its port 22 to your computer's port 22
[08:38] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: What permissions does it not give you? What command are you running and what error are you getting ( after running sudo -i )?
[08:38] <inki-68> Hi all, anyone here that could assist me concerning that sound is 'lost' in ubuntu 9.10 - it was there but not anymore
[08:38] <rww> jonz: from the look of it, the manpage reader I was using strips that line out, but it's in the actual manpage. So never mind what I said :\
[08:38] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: i did it n it says The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[08:38] <Younder> gerzel, on the whole it totally depends how you set up your computer
[08:38] <chrispitzer> hi all.  I added a partition to install 9.10  I'm not quite ready to kill my 9.4 partition yet, but I resized it down a bit, and want to add that space to my 9.10 partition... the problem is, gparted will let me move/resize the 9.4 partition, but I can't edit the 9.10 partition.  This is true even if I'm running off of the 9,10 live cd.  Any ideas?
[08:38] <jonz> interesting. alright, have a good night everyone
[08:38] <Younder> gerzel, like do you have a stationary IP or do you use DHCP
[08:39] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn you have to up date your sources list in the package manager
[08:39] <blackduck> gerzel: u can use "netstat -nlt" to check if your server is listening the port 22
[08:39] <andrew[andrboot]> inki-68 check alsa/pulse.. mostlikey pulse fails :)
[08:39] <rww> chrispitzer: does the partition have a lock icon next to it when you run off the LiveCD?
[08:40] <lstarnes> gerzel: make sure that openssh-server is installed
[08:40] <inki-68> Someone having problem with the sound in Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[08:40] <Younder> gerzel, do you have a hostname,a nd does the 'a?' lan see it etc
[08:40] <neriko> I'm back again
[08:40] <Lostinspace_46> Jordan_U,  No error. The tut said "sudo -i" would be temporarily like logging in as root, which you can't do.  And that it would give me full permission on all files and folders.
[08:40] <AniX> sh: inxi: not found
[08:40] <neriko> I'm still getting the  following:
[08:40] <chrispitzer> no.  Let me clarify.  I can shrink the partition, but can't move it or make it biger (even though I have free space before the partition...)
[08:40] <skyl> this is when all those tons of cheap commodity hardware from 1999 really come back to bite you in arse
[08:40] <paulandbecky> hi i am trying to install vista in my ubuntu system help
[08:40] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: i tried it once and it failed also. any idea/
[08:40] <lstarnes> Lostinspace_46: only within the shell in which it is run
[08:40] <dragonfist> hi
[08:40] <dragonfist> i have a problem
[08:40] <gerzel> younder for one computer  yes the other I need to check
[08:40] <dragonfist> about printing
[08:40] <Jordan_U> Lostinspace_46: And what makes you think "sudo -i" didn't do exactly that?
[08:40] <gerzel> thanks I think I got it
[08:40] <lstarnes> Lostinspace_46: running it in the terminal won't make the rest of the desktop run as root
[08:41] <inki-68> #ubuntu-se
[08:41] <inki-68> join
[08:41] <rww> inki-68: type "/join #ubuntu-se"

[08:41] <paulandbecky> how do install vista in a ubuntu system
[08:41] <Lostinspace_46> lstarnes,  AHA, so only in the terminal??
[08:41] <gerzel> I think it uses dhcp  But for now I'm just accessing w/in the local network.
[08:41] <lstarnes> Lostinspace_46: yes
[08:42] <gerzel> so ifconfig should be enouhg
[08:42] <lstarnes> Lostinspace_46: try alt+f2 then gksudo nautilus
[08:42] <pfred1> Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/f130573a3
[08:42] <lstarnes> neriko: I think you added the repos incorrectly
[08:42] <neriko> I haven't made any changes
[08:42] <blackduck> gerzel, do u know the ip address of the server?
[08:42] <neriko> My computer has been working fine until yesterday
[08:42] <paulandbecky> how do install vista over ubuntu
[08:42] <Madpilot> lstarnes, Lostinspace_46 - be incredibly careful running gksudo nautilus - you can wreck your system in one click...
[08:43] <Lostinspace_46> lstarnes, Hmm, never thought of that.  It sounds like that is what I need
[08:43] <bazhang> paulandbecky, you wish to dual boot or erase ubuntu
[08:43] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Sorry, it's late, remove the extra quote after "ati"
[08:43] <gerzel> blackduck: Which server?  The one I have set up?  or the one I connect to for my isp?
[08:43] <lstarnes> Lostinspace_46: just remember to be extremely careful
[08:43] <lstarnes> gerzel: the one that you want to connect to using ssh
[08:43] <gerzel> Yes
[08:43] <pfred1> Jordan_U heh OK but hey I'll come back tomorrow OK?
[08:43] <blackduck> gerzel, I mean the server which you would like to log on
[08:43] <gerzel> yes
[08:44] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Ok, I won't be here :)
[08:44] <neriko> If my repos is fubar'd, how do I fix it?
[08:44] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
[08:44] <ron-l-j> apt-get update
[08:44] <pfred1> Jordan_U no? when then?
[08:44] <paulandbecky> i have install ubuntu  over written vista now gone but need to install vista now
[08:44] <rww> neriko: from the look of it, you copied the command at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repository into something instead of running it.
[08:44] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Wednesday
[08:44] <AniX> Nvidia 190.42 works fine for ubuntu 9.10
[08:44] <lstarnes> neriko: edit /etc/apt/sources.list or the appropriate file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[08:44] <gerzel> night I'm gonna turn in  If I have more questions I'll asl later.  thanks for the help
[08:45] <Cody574> Hey guys, I'm using Wubi with Ubuntu Jaunty, what are the changes in Ubuntu Karmic?
[08:45] <Lostinspace_46> Madhu___, I have a folder with left over files from purging gimp, those are all I want to mess with.  Doing a chown and chnod on each individual file take forever
[08:45] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: is'nt it a problem at the authorizations?perhaps
[08:45] <blackduck> good night~
[08:45] <Cody574> I haven't used it in a while, so I'd like to know what the upgrade does
[08:45] <Lostinspace_46> *chmod
[08:45] <pfred1> Jordan_U I made a note of it C U then!
[08:45] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn apt-get update
[08:45] <Jordan_U> pfred1: Bye
[08:45] <ron-l-j> cheslyn sudo apt-get install update
[08:46] <Ramseize> what will i put it cron to make a application start everytime i switch my computer on
[08:46] <lstarnes> CHESLYN: I think he means sudo apt-get update
[08:46] <Ramseize> what will i put it crontab to make a application start everytime i switch my computer on
[08:46] <lstarnes> Ramseize: @reboot command
[08:46] <ron-l-j> if its an auth problem become root type sudo bash and then run the command
[08:46] <Madpilot> Lostinspace_46, you know both chmod and chown can do resursive changes, right?
[08:46] <FireCrotch> Lostinspace_46: you can do chmod 777 *  (or whatever chmod you need)
[08:46] <Dayspring> THANKS A TON RON!!! and everyone else who helped me!! worked like a charm after i purged and reinstalled!!!
[08:46] <Ramseize> ok
[08:47] <lstarnes> Dayspring: I think I was the one that recommended that
[08:47] <Ramseize> lstarnes, ok ill try that one
[08:47] <ron-l-j> Dayspring !!! SWEET :D
[08:47] <Madpilot> Lostinspace_46, also, "leftover" sounds like a good way to delete something some other part of the system is still using. Are you that short of harddrive space?
[08:47] <blackduck> crontab -e? maybe?
[08:47] <trogedo> i don't think so
[08:47] <Dayspring> yes you did lstarnes!!! very much appreciated!! and i got it added back to my menus!!!!! SUH_WEEEEET!!!! :D
[08:47] <chrispitzer> does anyone have a better tool to use for partition editing than gparted?
[08:47] <trogedo> fdisk
[08:47] <paulandbecky> help need to install vista on a ubuntu system
[08:48] <Lostinspace_46> Madhu___, Yes, but I have sever folders and 125 individual files. I did a nautilus search
[08:48] <Younder> paulandbecky, that is tricky, windows doesn't understand ext3
[08:48] <rww> paulandbecky: Do you want to replace Ubuntu with Vista, or install Vista alongside Ubuntu, or run Vista inside Ubuntu?
[08:48] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[08:48] <Lostinspace_46> Madhu___,  No but the newest gimp I got from thier site said to fully remove the old gimp
[08:48] <paulandbecky> along side
[08:48] <Dayspring> ok, so i'm pretty much a n00b with Linux....how did you guys get so good with the coding and such??
[08:48] <paulandbecky> or can i run it inside ubuntu
[08:49] <Younder> paulandbecky, I guess I should ask if you are using NTFS or ext3?
[08:49] <neriko> rww, I just ran the command on that website in Terminal, and still get the 404 not found error
[08:49] <ron-l-j> Dayspring MAKE AND BREAK
[08:49] <paulandbecky> what is ext3
[08:49] <ShapeShifter499> rww: don't forget ubuntu portable
[08:49] <ShapeShifter499> rww: its ubuntu inside of windows
[08:49] <rww> ShapeShifter499: which is the opposite of what the user asked for =/
[08:49] <blackduck> ext3 is the file system which linux uses
[08:49] <ShapeShifter499> oh...
[08:49] <blackduck> and windows use ntfs
[08:49] <lstarnes> paulandbecky: it's one of linux's main file systems
[08:50] <blackduck> U can not install windows on ext3
[08:50] <Lostinspace_46> Dayspring,  Practice and asking questions and killing the install now and then...lol
[08:50] <Younder> paulandbecky, it is a lot easier to install windows first and the ubuntu
[08:50] <Dayspring> i have a hard time memorizing and remembering codes!! lol
[08:50] <lstarnes> paulandbecky: ext4 is starting to replace it
[08:50] <paulandbecky> ext3 then
[08:50] <daniel1> Hi! Does enyone know who can I ask questions about Why Ubuntu won't boot on a HP Probook NX626EA laptop and how can I fix it?
[08:50] <ron-l-j> dayspring I have broke my ubuntu so many times. but I make a /home partition and never loose one pick or vid
[08:50] <blackduck> daneil1: more details?
[08:50] <Younder> paulandbecky, do you need to keep the current ubuntu installation (or some fils per hasps)?
[08:50] <federico79> Hi, can anybody help me with a bluetooth headset in karmic?
[08:51] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: it says  'Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead'
[08:51] <Dayspring> ron, i broke mine once so far....big, big no-no on my part....9.10 was still in beta testing and i decided to do an upgrade..... *broke*
[08:51] <rww> neriko: Tun "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and copy-paste the document into http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then link to the page it creates here.
[08:51] <paulandbecky> yes
[08:51] <neriko> That's the issue I'm having CHESLYN
[08:51] <neriko> :)
[08:51] <rww> neriko: Run **
[08:51] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn that should be fine try to install gparted again
[08:51] <daniel1> when I start try Ubuntu without changes...it just freezes and get a black screen
[08:51] <Younder> paulandbecky, otherwise take a windows recovery cd and forat for NTFS, install windows, then install ubuntu
[08:51] <Younder> format
[08:51] <blackduck> deniel1: can you go into bios?
[08:52] <paulandbecky> it cant see the hard drive
[08:52] <Dayspring> there were a couple of books i thought of buying to get more comfortable in ubuntu....have you used any books ron? i know one was called the Ubuntu Bible
[08:52] <federico79> Hi, can anybody help me with a bluetooth headset in karmic???
[08:52] <kmg> hey, how can i encode an audio start point with mencoder?
[08:53] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: it give me the some thing as before
[08:53] <kmg> i want to specify to mencoder a time in the audiofile to start at
[08:53] <daniel1> haven't tried it yet...
[08:53] <neriko> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329169
[08:53] <Younder> paulandbecky, ok formatting make you loose all the data so back it up first
[08:53] <neriko> And thanks for helping :)
[08:53] <blackduck> daniel1: so where do u stop now? a black screen does not help~
[08:53] <Younder> paulandbecky, if you don't already have one get a USB drive, they are cheap these days
[08:53] <paulandbecky> how do i format it i dont understand this system
[08:54] <blackduck> daniel1: more info is needed.
[08:54] <rww> neriko: delete the last line in that document (the one ending in "--output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[08:54] <ron-l-j> cheslyn does your package manager work ?
[08:54] <rww> neriko: "), then try "sudo apt-get update".
[08:54] <paulandbecky> windows is easier to use
[08:54] <daniel1> ok i'll try to get in to bios and get more info
[08:54] <rww> neriko: sorry, I phrased that badly. Delete that last line, save the document, then run "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal.
[08:54] <ShapeShifter499> I'm about to patch a ubuntu kernel......before I compile/install is it ok to preform this with the following command?  "make menuconfig"   THAN  "make && make modules_install && make install"
[08:55] <trasktrojanek> I'm attempting to use Phone Manager by plugging my phone in (no Bluetooth at the moment), how can I check what port I need to look at for my phone?
[08:55] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN I GOT IT go here you need to copy and past this to replace your sources file
[08:55] <trasktrojanek> How do I detect the location of something I plugged in?
[08:56] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine
[08:56] <blackduck> trasktrojanek: /media?
[08:56] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: yes but it dont want to update or upgrade it [install it] can i reset it or what?
[08:56] <paulandbecky> so how do i format the harddrive  if using ubuntu then
[08:56] <Younder> paulandbecky, I find ubuntu easier to use..
[08:56] <trasktrojanek> blackduck, I mean the /dev. There's a command to read what was just plugged in, but I can't recall it.
[08:56] <federico79> Hello, can anybody help me to set a bluetooth HEADSET in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic?
[08:56] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn you only have to replace the one text file no install
[08:56] <om26er> paulandbecky, right click on the partition and format
[08:56] <neriko> WOOHOO! Thanks rww
[08:56] <rww> trasktrojanek: if you run "dmesg", the last few lines might be informative?
[08:57] <trasktrojanek> rww, yes, thank you!
[08:57] <rww> neriko: is it all working now, or are you back to that unauthenticated error?
[08:57] <Younder> paulandbecky, onceyou get into it windows get't extremely complex.. (If you don't belive me get a copy of Windows internals.)
[08:57] <paulandbecky> yes but i need a vrml program and it does not work on this system
[08:57] <rww> trasktrojanek: glad I could jog your memory :)
[08:57] <neriko> I just ran update manager. No Error msgs
[08:57] <Younder> paulandbecky, in many ways linux is simpler
[08:57] <rww> neriko: :)
[08:57] <om26er> !anybody | federico79,
[08:57] <neriko> thankyouthankyouthankyou
[08:57] <neriko> I've been going nuts
[08:58] <neriko> Have a good night everyone
[08:58] <rww> neriko: you're welcome! Glad we figured it out :)
[08:58] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: thanks i'll try it
[08:58] <federico79> ubottu: sorry, you're right. but this is my first time here
[08:59] <Cody574> What are the changes in Ubuntu Karmic? I'm still using Jaunty for some reason :S
[08:59] <om26er> !whatsnew | Cody574
[09:00] <federico79> I can pair my bluetooth headset in Karmic but I don't get sound
[09:00] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: what text file ,n not install yes
[09:00] <federico79> I guess pulseaudio don't recognize my bluetooth headset
[09:00] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn if that doesnt work if you have a live cd and a usb you can copy your sources list to the usb from a running live cd ahen go back to your running hard disk install and copy the usb sources file and replace and be good to go
[09:00] <rww> Cody574: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910overview
[09:00] <RomD> I can't change my account password. I've tried "passwd" and "users and groups" and both tell me that changing the password was successful. however, opening the update manager or logging in after logging out still require me to type my old password. does anyone know how to fix that?
[09:00] <paulandbecky> or do i just buy a new hard drive
[09:00] <Cody574> @rww: Thanks
[09:01] <ron-l-j> /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:01] <federico79> How can I find out why pulseaudio did not recognize my headset bluetooth?
[09:01] <paulandbecky> is that easier
[09:02] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: okay thanks lot
[09:02] <owen1_> when i type alsamixer i get 'alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory' any tips?
[09:02] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn you can open a terminal amd replace that file I will give you a copy of mine. it will work if your running 9.10
[09:02] <AniX> federico79 u can try blueman
[09:03] <Lostinspace_46> Madhu___, I opened a browser at root. Did <ctrl + h" then <alt> + g and finally  "s". so I have all the files in one window.  I tried <alt> + F2 and ran "gksudo nautilus" However I still don't have permissions to delete.  Any other idea on how to delete them all at once?
[09:03] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[09:03] <paulandbecky> any ideas  what should do i need to run this vrml program
[09:03] <paulandbecky> for my course
[09:04] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: okay let me try it
[09:04] <Younder> paulandbecky, a browser..
[09:04] <ActionParsnip1> !info freewrl
[09:04] <federico79> AniX  I also tried blueman. BB headset paired but I can't get sound
[09:04] <paulandbecky> what you mean
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> paulandbecky: you may find its a windows app, you can try wine but you may find it runs weird, check the appdb
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> !appdb
[09:05] <Younder> virtual reality meta language is a web standard
[09:05] <ActionParsnip1> !info vrml-browser
[09:05] <Younder> VRML
[09:05] <federico79> AniX  I guess the bluetooth headset will not recognize as a sound driver by pulse audio
[09:05] <blackduck> Is there a way to run itunes on ubuntu?
[09:05] <paulandbecky> no i have tried that
[09:05] <RomD> nevermind, I was prepending "sudo" to "passwd". worked without it
[09:05] <bazhang> blackduck, nope
[09:05] <blackduck> sigh~
[09:05] <owen1_> aplay -l shows: 'aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...'
[09:06] <AniX> federico79 may u need to refresh services first
[09:06] <Yufei> anyone configure hylafax and postfix?
[09:06] <ActionParsnip1> paulandbecky: there are open vrml apps out there which will run better
[09:06] <Yufei> it seems the faxmail doesn't work
[09:06] <blackduck> yufei: i have ever configured postfix?
[09:06] <federico79> AniX how can I refresh services?

[09:06] <rww> blackduck: not natively, no. You could try WINE (see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347 )
[09:06] <bazhang> ron-l-j, dont paste here!
[09:06] <AniX> there is a option in bluman after paired

[09:07] <stanman246> hi, anyone using krusader?
[09:07] <blackduck> I failed when i use wine to run itunes
[09:07] <bazhang> ron-l-j, use paste.ubuntu.com
[09:07] <stanman246> itunes?
[09:07] <bazhang> blackduck, it does not run. there are other apps to sync music players though
[09:07] <stanman246> what about songbird?
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> blackduck: the appdb would tell you it doesnt work, could buy an mp3 player from a more open company than apple, you'llhave fewer issues
[09:08] <paulandbecky> yes i been here cant understand this
[09:08] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: you what its my packaging that does'nt work and i know what can i do?
[09:08] <jone1> booting my raid1 drops me to the busybox with alert  md0 not found, typing mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 within the busybox works like a charm...any ideas?

[09:08] <JohnnythePirate> Hey folks, I have a tiny problem. Disabled wireless via networkmanager a little while ago, and it greyed out and won't let me re-enable.

[09:09] <zerq> can any wifi head explain to me why I can connect to this network no problem in xp and 7, but in ubuntu it keeps timing out on the dhclient phase and asking for the password over and over.. log here: 01:07 -!- Irssi: #ubuntu: Total of 1287 nicks [1 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 1286 normal]
[09:09] <rww> blackduck: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[09:09] <federico79> AniX  yes, I try this option in Blueman. But the sound is still coming out through the notebook speakers
[09:09] <zerq> oops.. wrong paste buffer :x
[09:09] <AniX> humm
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> paulandbecky: then you can install windows in a virtual machine but it wont perform as well as a native instal as you will be running linux and windows in ram, you could dual boot
[09:09] <Yufei> blackduck: but it seems the faxmail doesn't work
[09:09] <blackduck> zerq: you can try wicd
[09:09] <zerq> wifi error log here: http://pastebay.com/72808
[09:09] <paulandbecky> how do i do that
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> paulandbecky: or you can use a native linux app
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> !virtualbox | paulandbecky:
[09:10] <DannyButterman> Hi there. Using SSH, I can't do passwordless connections because my known_hosts file isn't populated by ssh server. What causes this and how to fix it ?
[09:10] <zerq> blackduck: meh, worth a shot I guess.. that still uses dhclient though doesn't it?
[09:10] <blackduck> yufei:sorry, I have never used faxmail
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> DannyButterman: create an ssh key on the client and copy it to the server system know ssh keys
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> *known
[09:10] <ron-l-j> bazhang now I have pasted there what is the next step
[09:10] <ron-l-j> ?
[09:10] <blackduck> rww: thanks
[09:11] <bazhang> ron-l-j, save and give us the url from that page
[09:11] <Younder> wb ActionParsnip1
[09:11] <blackduck> zerq: i donot think so.
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> Younder: werd up
[09:12] <ron-l-j> bazhang OK http://paste.ubuntu.com/329177/   there is a healthy sources list
[09:12] <zerq> blackduck: alright, i'll give that a shot.. hopefully be back... from linux.. ;D
[09:12] <bazhang> ron-l-j, who was that originally meant for
[09:12] <DannyButterman> ActionParsnip: I know how to do passworldless connection. the problem here is it fails on one machine, because it's not populating the known_hosts file.
[09:12] <paulandbecky> trying it now
[09:12] <ActionParsnip1> paulandbecky: you will need a license and install media
[09:12] <blackduck> zerq: It works on my pc
[09:12] <DannyButterman> ActionParsnip1: I know how to do passworldless connection. the problem here is it fails on one machine, because it's not populating the known_hosts file.
[09:13] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn is working on it now
[09:13] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, On nothing much, paulandbecky with has many contadictory demands
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> DannyButterman: really weird
[09:13] <federico79> AniX  any other thoughts than I could try?
[09:13] <DannyButterman> ActionParsnip1: True :s
[09:14] <ActionParsnip1> DannyButterman: where is known_hosts stored?
[09:14] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: no luck  its my package
[09:14] <DannyButterman> under .ssh in the user directory (root in this case)
[09:14] <DannyButterman> perms are ok
[09:15] <DannyButterman> ActionParsnip1: under .ssh in the user directory (root in this case). the server OS is debian lenny and client is jaunty
[09:16] <ActionParsnip1> DannyButterman: my ssh server doesn't have anything in ~/.ssh
[09:16] <Younder> SSH is a bit of work to set up yes, but if you follow the recepie it works ok
[09:16] <ActionParsnip1> DannyButterman: then ask in #debian
[09:16] <stanman246> anyone using Krusader?
[09:16] <DannyButterman> That's what'im doing, but it's a cross problem
[09:16] <ActionParsnip1> DannyButterman: the server clearly needs configuring, the client should just connect. Its the servers job to organise connectivity etc
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> DannyButterman: try connecting as another user, it may ork. If not, its the server
[09:17] <apple> does Ubuntu run well on the ASUS eee 1005 netbook?
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> apple: sure
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> apple: better than most of my systems
[09:18] <Younder> DannyButterman, do you have a sourceforge accout?
[09:18] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn http://paste.ubuntu.com/329177/     go there and open a terminal type cd/     then cd ect/apt            then gedit sources.list      that will open gedit cut all the text out of your gedit file and past in rfom the url I just gave you then save your getid file and pow your golden !
[09:18] <apple> cool -- just checking if there were known issues/probs
[09:18] <Younder> DannyButterman, if you can connect to that then it is the server.
[09:18] <ActionParsnip1> apple: that wasnt part of the question
[09:19] <ActionParsnip1> apple: it will install and run, you'd have to look at the hardware and find guides etc
[09:19] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn do you follow that ????
[09:19] <ActionParsnip1> apple: it may all work out of the box

[09:19] <Younder> DannyButterman, sourceforge also has a excellent SSH client tutorial
[09:19] <paulandbecky> i have install virtubox can i install vista now
[09:20] <ibmx61> congratulations
[09:20] <apple> oh I thought you'd already done it,  but i have done linux installs b4 so should be ablw to figure it out
[09:20] <beat_killa> has anyone ever got to work a sweex webcam?
[09:20] <ActionParsnip1> paulandbecky: sure mount the cd and tell virtualbox to use it, you  can then setup a virtual system
[09:20] <owen1_> 'alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory' any tips for solving this?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip1> beat_killa: use the output of: lsus  to discover its 8 character hex ID, you can websearch that to find guides
[09:21] <beat_killa> oh thanks
[09:21] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: it type cd than cd ect/apt it says ' No such file or directory'

[09:25] <Steel__> todkon:  is that the sudo  output?
[09:25] <todkon> Steel__: yes
[09:25] <zerq> blackduck: yeah, actually used it on another laptop quite a while ago, then forgot about it when this version came with two other network managers that don't seem to do quite as good a job..
[09:25] <ActionParsnip1> antonius: interfaces file > all
[09:25] <zerq> for now i'm just glad to have internet in linux, not gonna mess with it any more tonight hehe
[09:26] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN then gedit sources.list
[09:26] <Steel__> did you check your FS permissions for root on /root and the alsa file ?
[09:26] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: after that ?
[09:26] <todkon> Steel__: I find the only way to get my sound settings to work each time, I have to run gnome-volume-control where I have to unmutem, then raise the volume, alsamixer doesn't work
[09:26] <todkon> hmm, nope, good point, I'll look at that
[09:27] <antonius> wicd just does it all better imo, w/o any extra work....from my experiences with multiple distros
[09:27] <AniX> i use pkill gdm to install nvidia driver ....& now my ubuntu works fine with nivdia 190.45.............but is there any othere way to stop gdm...
[09:27] <AniX> ?????
[09:27] <ActionParsnip1> antonius: interfaces file willwork in any linux distro, gui or not

[09:28] <AniX> ya steil try try that but not working
[09:28] <antonius> ActionParsnip1: yes.  not the point i was making tho...was just stating that wicd has ALWAYS worked better for me...so i encourage people to try it
[09:28] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN when your gedit is open you want to copy this in to your web browser                      http://paste.ubuntu.com/329177/
[09:28] <AniX> so i use pkill
[09:29] <aboeing> hi, can someone help me with installing linux? I installed the 686 version and need to swap it for the 386 version
[09:29] <ljlong> ....
[09:29] <ljlong> haha
[09:29] <ActionParsnip1> antonius: fair point,theres wifi-radar too. i use interfaces file with static ip, speeds up boot too and you dont have nm/wicd sat in ram :D
[09:30] <aboeing> i tried "sudo apt-get install linux-386", but it says "couldn't find package linux-386"
[09:30] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN note my sources list is 64 bit

[09:30] <zerq> ActionParsnip1: that works great when you're always connecting to the same place.. but when you're on a laptop at countless different locations you just want it to work without hassles
[09:30] <Younder> aboeing, no, and what do you think linux-385 is?
[09:30] <ActionParsnip1> a931bw: use pastebin
[09:31] <a931bw> thats not big text >.>
[09:31] <ActionParsnip1> zerq: i have multiple interfaces file, i just copy the relevant file into the main seat
[09:31] <CHESLYN> ron-l-j: k im trying everything
[09:31] <Steel__> todkon: ok ?
[09:31] <rww> aboeing: Ubuntu doesn't have a 386-specific kernel.
[09:31] <aboeing> Younder: the 386 kernel? i read that on a number of tutorials/posts
[09:31] <oversize> hi, running do-release-upgrade fails with: http://dpaste.com/125789/ . But i could manually download these files. Where would i have to put them so do-release-upgrade does not have to download them?  thx
[09:31] <Madpilot> a931bw, it's 4 lines in a channel with 1300 users. Use pastebin.
[09:31] <aboeing> rww: oh,.. so how do i install a 386 kernel?
[09:31] <rww> aboeing: Which processor do you have?
[09:32] <Younder> aboeing, but you are already running it..
[09:32] <zerq> ActionParsnip1: that works if you know the settings before hand for every access point
[09:32] <aboeing> rww: i am using a normal PC to install linux onto a hard drive, that I am then putting into a PC with a penitum M chip.
[09:32] <owen1_> when i type alsamixer i get 'alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory' but when i add sudo i can see the mixer.  any tips?
[09:33] <fireball> just upgraded to koala, was running alsa only (no pulse), now have no sound at all. Kept old pulse config files during upgrade. Please advice
[09:33] <rww> aboeing: Pentium M chips will work fine with Ubuntu's standard linux-image-generic kernel.
[09:33] <ActionParsnip1> zerq: true but i get told the deal and i formulate a new file,my systems are low end so i like to have ram free so i dont use nm type apps
[09:33] <aboeing> Younder: yes, but i installed it on a new pc, and then tried to put the hdd back into the old pc and it wouldnt boot because of unsupported instructions
[09:33] <aboeing> rww: it complains about unsupported instructions
[09:33] <Younder> aboeing, ahhh
[09:33] <owen1_> fireball: i lost audio as well.
[09:34] <Younder> aboeing, so what processor does the old PC use?
[09:34] <owen1_> fireball: what do u see when u type 'alsamixer' ?
[09:34] <owen1_> fireball: also what do u see when u type 'aplay -l'
[09:34] <rww> aboeing: oh, I think I see what's going on here. Do you mean i386 (as in, 32-bit and the opposite of amd64)?
[09:34] <zerq> ActionParsnip1: yeah, that's how i would normally do it honestly but when you're using all kinds of random access points and you need to be able to just plug in whatever limited info they give you and have it work, net manager things can be great
[09:34] <Younder> aboeing, have you considered a cross compile of the kernel?
[09:34] <fireball> owen: I see "alsamixer v1.0.20"
[09:35] <ActionParsnip1> zerq: not had a problem so far, horses for courses lad
[09:35] <owen1_> fireball: ok, i guess it's not the same issue as mine
[09:35] <aboeing> rww: nah i mean i386, instead of i686
[09:35] <FunkyWeasel> I find pulseaudio dies on ibex every few days, meaning I have to reboot my ubuntu computer more frequently than my vista machine these days.  Is there any way to make pulse audio work consistantly?

[09:36] <_TOM_> how to view the patch file to get the modified content?
[09:36] <archangelpetro> if you have dual monitors... and you're watching a youtube video, say you want to full screen it.. is there a way to full screen it on a single monitor? rather than overlapping both?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> aboeing: i386 is for cpu's circa 1990 and run at 40Mhz MAX
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> aboeing: is the CPU 40Mhz?
[09:37] <ron-l-j> Cheslyn If you follow the ubuntu tutorial       https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine             and get /etc/apt/sources.list    replaced as a whole or one source at a time you wil have mastered ubuntu problem solving
[09:37] <rww> aboeing: 1) Pentium M chips use the i686 chipset. 2) Ubuntu does not have a specifically i386 kernel. 3) If you're getting unsupported chipset errors, it's either because you're using an amd64 install, or because of a bug.
[09:37] <aboeing> ActionParsnip1: no, its about a 800mhz, pentium chip
[09:37] <ron-l-j> CHESLYN everything is just a text file in linux :D
[09:37] <fireball> archangelpetro: yes, enable xinerama

[09:38] <DaZ> and he'll explain you you're wrong [;
[09:38] <ActionParsnip1> aboeing: then you dont want i386, it will work but you will be crippling the CPU as it wont use all the functionality in the chip
[09:38] <archangelpetro> fireball, how do i do that?
[09:38] <FunkyWeasel> Also, what does "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused" when testing audio?  I always seem to get it after audio dies in Amarok/last.fm and I try testing sound at Sound Preferences?
[09:38] <Steel__> todkon: np :)
[09:38] <ActionParsnip1> aboeing: you want the i686
[09:38] <Steel__> night ron-l-j
[09:38] <ActionParsnip1> aboeing: i386 doesnt even have MMX functionality
[09:38] <Fireball_afk> fireball - please change nick
[09:39] <owen1_> i hear audio only as sudo. please advice.
[09:39] <_TOM_> are there some tools to view the difference from the patch file conveniently? thanks
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> owen1_: is your user in the audio group?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip1> _TOM_: patch file is just a text file
[09:39] <FunkyWeasel> I mean, unless I am seriously expected to reboot more frequently than a windows machine to maintain workable audio...

[09:45] <mot1> Quicky for y'all. I purchased a 1Tb external drive yesterday that connects to my box via eSata connection. I want to use it to store all my music and movies but also want to share it out to all other machines on my network (1 Apple Mac, 1 Windows Machine and 1 Linux machine) I tried setting the permissions using the command line but I can't seem to access the drive from any other computers on my network. What am I doing wrong?
[09:45] <nul> Kinda late -- trying to listen to a DVD only on my USB headset, but it doesn't seem to be working no matter what I try.. anyone know of either a media player that I can specifically select the device or any way I can just force ANY player to use my headset?

[09:47] <DaZ> or stop gdm ;f
[09:47] <rww> Antagonist: When you're done, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" to start it up, and Ctrl-Alt-F7 if it doesn't automatically put you back to Xorg.

[09:52] <blackduck> startx?
[09:52] <kandjar> i m having a sound issue with ubuntu karmic
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> darksector: then you'll have to use apt-get to download the package(s) you need
[09:53] <nul> can anyone tell me how I can force sound to my USB headset? I've tried everything I found on google, but it doesn't work.. I need to output sound to headset only for video -- anyone hav ea clue?
[09:53] <Younder> darksector, you don't tranfer packages in that way
[09:53] <kandjar> when i play a video, the sound stops working after few second; to get it back i need to readjust the volume in the systray (top right corner of the screen)
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> darksector: you must have satisfied deps on the system you downloaded so the deb wasnt downloaded
[09:53] <darksector> ActionParsnip1: ah ok
[09:53] <kandjar> is there a way to fix that?
[09:53] <kandjar> it seems to have happened after an updatre
[09:53] <Younder> darksector, liux file system just  isn't that consistent
[09:53] <darksector> Younder: ok, so its just online installation then
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> darksector: you can tell apt-get to only download debs if you want
[09:54] <darksector> ActionParsnip1: yeah ok thanks a lot
[09:54] <Antagonist> So it said it make a backup of my X config file.  Where would I find the backup and the new one?

[10:03] <lukas____> I'm trying to setup the kernel modules and although there are no problems in compilations, the module fails to load. First question would be, where would I find logging for this issue?
[10:03] <Younder> mot1, maybe I have been lucky, but I have never had a problem installing NVIDEA drivers..
[10:03] <lukas____> "/etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start" ends in "fail", but that doesn't tell me much.
[10:03] <Antagonist> ActionParsnip1: nivida repo?
[10:03] <mot1> ActionParsnip1, Yeah I did that, and got it to work but then after doing a update in Ubuntu it must have changed the xorg.conf file as after reboot the screen resolution was messed up and I couldn't reconfigure it using the nvidia software

[10:07] <skyl> kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz
[10:08] <skyl> what is the kernel name?
[10:08] <mot1> Kottizen, install the VPN Connection software then you should be able to create a VPN
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> _TOM_:  i recall seeing some gui tools that sort of do what diff does. but ive never really used them and cant rember their names. I tend to use diff/colordiff
[10:08] <kandjar> this is getting really annoying... on my laptop, i had issue with 8.10, after an update the sounds inside firefox went away, 9.04 didnt solve the pb, 9.10 did, and now, after an update, I can only set the volume to max or min, which means either shouting like crazy or no sound at all!!! :(((((
[10:08] <Kottizen> mot1: thanks! :D
[10:08] <mot1> Kottizen, No probs
[10:08] <Ubuntee> How do I fix my space bar so that messages go in without having to use the space bar on my screen.
[10:08] <kandjar> and here on my desktop, if I play a video with 9.10, few seconds later, the sound goes away... until i readjust the system volume...
[10:09] <kandjar> it's retarded! :((((((
[10:09] <mot1> Kottizen, Sorry, I meant the Add/Remove option, not synaptic
[10:09] <Younder> kandjar, yes, that would be annoying. what sound card do you have?
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntee:  messages go in where? wht program aare you using?
[10:09] <Kottizen> mot1: It's the same, I found it. :D
[10:09] <Ubuntee> I am using chatzilla
[10:09] <fm> ActionParsnip1:  are these instructions for Alsa? Are they going to work with PulseAudio in Karmic???
[10:09] <mokkan> how would i enable the "toggle touchpad" button on my laptop?
[10:10] <mot1> Kottizen, Check this out ... http://tipotheday.com/2008/04/29/connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-hardy-heron/
[10:10] <kandjar> Younder: it's an integrated one; intel i believe
[10:10] <kandjar> on my desktop at least
[10:10] <Kottizen> mot1: It's an openvpn, tunnel, so I seaced for "openvpn" in Synaptic instead.
[10:11] <Kottizen> The server is running Debian.
[10:11] <Younder> kandjar, do you have the volume control at the top bar?
[10:11] <kandjar> yeah
[10:11] <mot1> Kottizen, You're on your way so!
[10:11] <fm> ActionParsnip1: sudo modprobe snd-bt-sco  I get:   FATAL: Module snd_bt_sco not found.
[10:11] <Kottizen> mot1: perfect :D
[10:11] <kandjar> that what i need to readjust to reenable the sound on my desktop
[10:12] <darksector> oh wow
[10:12] <kandjar> on my laptop, i also have it. if i move it from 0 to 25% i have no sound at all, and 25%+ the sound it set to max
[10:12] <Madpilot> !netsplit
[10:12] <darksector> netslpit
[10:12] <darksector> :D
[10:13] <Younder> kandjar, I have intel inegrated audio too, and it works here
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> !find snd-bt-sco
[10:14] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: when it happens run: dmesg | tail
[10:14] <Younder> kandjar, I hate net splits..
[10:14] <kandjar> ActionParsnip1: k
[10:15] <kandjar> ActionParsnip1: nothing changed
[10:15] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: it won't, its for you to read, you can see whats going on and websearch for guides based on the output
[10:15] <kandjar> ActionParsnip1: ????
[10:16] <skyl> usually I love linux, then every once in a while you try to recompile your kernel with some 2 y/o instructions that were never that good
[10:16] <iilm> hi
[10:17] <fm> hello, I'm trying to get sound out of my bluetooth Headset in ubuntu 9.10 karmic.  Headset is paired with Blueman. In Volume control PULSE AUDIO, only INTERNAL AUDIO ANALOG STEREO is available. does Pulseaudio not detect my bluetooth???
[10:17] <Madpilot> skyl, best way to avoid that: avoid compiling your own kernels...
[10:17] <kandjar> it's fu... irritating, in 2009 not being able to have an OS which can manage the osunds properly...
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> fm:  i think you should be using the a2d audio drivers not the snd-bt-sco driver. (those are out of date it seems)
[10:17] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: linux isnt so supported by hardware manufacturers
[10:18] <skyl> kandjar, Madpilot yep ... this sound hardware it going on ebay or getting given away and I won't try to force linux to like unsupported hardware
[10:18] <Younder> kandjar, get a soundblaster sound kit then.. It has a external volume control
[10:18] <fm> Dr_Willis:  I really don't know. What does it means ?
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> and sound cards seem to get redone every 2 months for  some reason by different makers. :) i wonder how many sound card chipsets there are..
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: when the sound goes to zero, run the command and websearch some of the output, see what you find
[10:18] <kandjar> ActionParsnip1: i m not talking about dealing with latest hardware or crazy video gfx card, it's a stupid sound issue!!!
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: if hardware manufacturers supported linux then this issue wouldnt occur
[10:19] <Younder> kandjar, calm down..
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: it could be 20 years old, or came out yesterday, its irrelevant
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> fm:  read that guide  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio (it seems a little out of date also) the sco ones are not as good quality and no longer maintained..  go down about 1/2 the guide to the  'installing high quality 'a2d' drivers'
[10:19] <alankila> and hardware manufacturers don't support linux because linux makes it virtually impossible to support anything except open-source drivers...
[10:19] <Younder> kandjar, I am using the same hardware, and it works here
[10:19] <kandjar> i appology guys, i m a bit upset.. .it's been DAYS/WEEKS for me
[10:20] <alankila> it's self-inflicted tragedy due to near fundamentalistic approach of only open source software being acceptable.
[10:20] <kandjar> i m just tired to spending my time fixing stuff which for me should work out of the box...
[10:20] <Younder> kandjar, so more likely it is a setup problem
[10:20] <skyl> ah crap, I put grub on myy flash drive instead of the drive I installed too
[10:20] <kandjar> mmm
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> when ever i find a sustem with sound issues on a new machine. I test with different live cd/disrtos to see if it works for any of them
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> skyl:  i got grub2 set up on a flash drive so i can boot iso files with it. :)
[10:21] <antonius> kandjar: sometimes it will have multiple sound devices....and will automatically choose the one ur aren't using..havce you tried all the devices listed in the tray app
[10:21] <skyl> Dr_Willis, well, that was working but now it just hangs
[10:21] <skyl> Grub (cursor) .... I'm in grub hell now
[10:21] <antonius> ALSA, OSS, HD AUDIO, etc...try them all, trial and error-like
[10:21] <kandjar> antonius: i do have multiple sound device, since the video card also does sound output
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> a video card with a sound card built in? Thats diffrent.
[10:22] <antonius> kandjar, open the tray app, and try all the devices listed
[10:22] <kandjar> Dr_Willis: yeah but that's not what i m using
[10:22] <Younder> kandjar, do you have a HDMI port on the video card?
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> Plug extra speakers into it. :) see if you get sound out.. You could build up a 20.2 sound system!@ :)
[10:22] <kandjar> Dr_Willis: it's due to the HDMI output
[10:23] <kandjar> Younder: yes
[10:23] <Younder> kandjar, that's most likely your problem
[10:23] <dr4g> Guys i wanna run a cron once every Minute.. Can someone give me a format please ?
[10:23] <ShapeShifter499> can someone tell me the what the newest ubuntu kernel is?
[10:23] <dr4g> would it just be * * * * * ?
[10:23] <skyl> so if hd0 is the flashdrive and hd1 is the HD I'm installing too ... I can tell the install to put grub on hd1 ... and then whn I pull the usb drive .. it will actually be hd0 but it will like it...
[10:23] <ActionParsnip1> hdmi is so not worth the bother
[10:24] <Younder> kandjar, do you use the HDMI port?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip1> ShapeShifter499: http://www.kernel.org
[10:24] <kandjar> nop
[10:24] <kandjar> i dont' use the hdmi port
[10:24] <rww> ShapeShifter499: 2.6.31 for Karmic, 2.6.32 for the current development version.
[10:24] <ActionParsnip1> !info linux-image | ShapeShifter499
[10:24] <Younder> kandjar, then disable it
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> dr4g:  * * * * * /command    (from what i just googled for  crontab every minuet)
[10:24] <kandjar> its not enabled
[10:24] <dr4g> Dr_Willis, yes thats what i've thought.
[10:24] <ShapeShifter499> thanks
[10:24] <dr4g> Dr_Willis, I'm looking here for ubuntu related info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto#Using%20Cron
[10:25] <Younder> kandjar, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> dr4g:  i just looked/cut/pasted from -> http://www.google.com/search?q=crontab+every+minute
[10:26] <kandjar> Younder: i dont think that will help
[10:26] <fm> it seems not to be updated for Ubuntu 9.10
[10:26] <dr4g> Dr_Willis, I wanna capture the output of it and output that to a file. The above link i posted says the "-l" switch will cause the crontab to be displayed on STDOUT
[10:26] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: have you ran: sudo lshw -C sound | grep product      to see if there are any bugs logged against the card with your kernel version?
[10:26] <fm> Dr_Willis: it seems not to be updated for Ubuntu 9.10
[10:26] <Younder> kandjar, It might, it might not, try
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> dr4g:  Ive no idea on that - I havent messed with cron in ages
[10:26] <dr4g> So should i just do... * * * * * /command/here/ 2>&1 > mycron_file_output
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> fm:  i would not be suprised at that. I got my BT headset on the charger.
[10:27] <dr4g> Is that right ?
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> dr4g:  with cron you proberly want touse fullpaths to everything including the file redirection
[10:27] <kandjar> ActionParsnip1: i get two lines, one per devices:
[10:27] <kandjar>        product: R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]
[10:27] <kandjar>        product: 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller
[10:27] <kandjar>  
[10:27] <dr4g> Dr_Willis, sure no probs i'm just wondering on syntax
[10:27] <dr4g> to forward STDERR to STDOUT and then output to file.
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: then one will be the hdmi on your ati thing, the other is your sound card
[10:28] <VD>  :)
[10:28] <kandjar> ActionParsnip1: that i figured
[10:28] <fm> Dr_Willis: I have already tried this tutorial. It does not work and now I don't have sound at all in my pc :(
[10:28] <Younder> kandjar, that is not exactly integrated intel is it..
[10:28] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: websearch for the non-ati line, see what you find. You could also search the bug reports to see whats shaking
[10:28] <kandjar> it's not the problem of choosing the right one.
[10:28] <skyl> dr4g, you could just make a bash script that does all of the particulars and have cron execute that
[10:29] <dr4g> sky1 well this is a simple command
[10:29] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: i know, but sound randomly going to zero sounds like a bug, someone may have logged it and there may be suggestions for fixes in the bug report
[10:29] <dr4g> "svn up /home/dr4g/site/"
[10:29] <skyl> I hope sound is the #1 priority for 10.04 ...
[10:29] <fm> Dr_Willis: Are you able to conect you BT heaset in Karmic?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: or you may find suggestions in ubuntuforums with solutions
[10:29] <skyl> we want sound . we want sound . we want sound . anyone with me?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: or any other website ever
[10:30] <Younder> kandjar, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1255723.html
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> fm:  i tried once a few months back. but never got it working - was going to try again. but its on the charger. :) so ive not rried yet
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> skyl:  on my 4 ubuntu box's - ive had no sound issues. ( not got bluetooth headphones working yet) :)
[10:31] <skyl> is Ext4 just as supported as Ext3?
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> fm:  you may need touse the pulse tools to select the proper audio out sink  pavucontrol  and pavumeger
[10:31] <skyl> Dr_Willis, grab some exotic hardware and crash your system!
[10:31] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: yes
[10:32] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: due to poor hardware support from a large majority of hardware manufacturers getting some hardware to work nice can be a pain, its not Linux / Ubuntu / Canonical's fault its the manufacturers, Nvidia and new ATi cards are hugely supported as are most intel wifi and VGA and they work beautifully
[10:33] <biophysics> Hi all, is there any siginficant advantage in running 64-bit ubuntu (I hv 2GB RAM) compared to 32 bit for a dell dual core E4300 laptop. many thanks.
[10:33] <kandjar> ActionParsnip1: I understand that, but sadly i don't have as much free time as i d like to have to be able to fix all these issues.
[10:33] <kandjar> sadly, i m seriously thinking about going back to wincrap and deal with the other issue i have with them... :(
[10:33] <Younder> biophysics, well, speed,
[10:33] <dr4g> Dr_Willis, see the ubuntu crontab file, where does it live ? :)
[10:33] <Younder> biophysics, but you will be using about 30% more memory too,
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> dr4g:  in /etc/ i imagine. try 'locate crontab'
[10:34] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: then purchase hardware which is known to work 100% out of the box, use the HCL and only buy what works flawlessly. Its what I do and all my hardware sings with no effort (except installing the nvidia driver)
[10:34] <Younder> biophysics, so you proably wat a 2 Gb machine
[10:34] <skyl> unless you're  doing some serious biophysics calculations or something, 32-bit probably more bang for the hassle
[10:34] <dr4g> Look at this Dr_Willis  http://pastebin.com/m4582e976
[10:34] <fm> Dr_Willis: I use pavucontrol but there is no BT headset seleccion possible! it is not in the list
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> biophysics:  i find my vvideo encoding works faster with 64bit.. i dont notice any extra ram needed. but these days... ram is  cheap :)
[10:34] <ActionParsnip1> kandjar: you get people buying the latest garbage from creative who can't even support windows well, then wonder why it doesn't work in Linux
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> sadly - creative has fallen down from their past audio excellence.. :(
[10:35] <skyl> ActionParsnip1, so what's the most linux friendly mid-grade audio interface ~$300-$800? anyone?
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> dr4g:  yes. so? :)
[10:35] <jozo_> hello all
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> !cron
[10:36] <dr4g> That's the page im on! :)
[10:36] <ActionParsnip1> !hcl | skyl
[10:36] <jozo_> new ubuntu will have .Net tue to f-spot on the install CD ?
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> jozo_:  rephrase that perhaps?
[10:36] <CruX> well gimp will be removed from the install CD iso image right ?
[10:37] <dr4g> Dr_Willis, can i run a command like "svn up /home/dr4g/site" or will i only be able to specify a script path. eg: "/home/dr4g/svn_update.sh"
[10:37] <CruX> and will me replaced with f-spot
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> CruX:  from what i hear - yes gimp will be not included in the default install.
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> CruX:  not sure what image tools will be included.. its still 6 Mo away
[10:37] <Younder> jozo_: ubuntu has mono, a retarded brother of .NET
[10:37] <Younder> ;)
[10:37] <CruX> Younder: i know i hate all .net and java apps
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> dr4g:  by default commands get ran as root.. unless you are using theusers crontab i belive.  when in doubt - use FULL paths
[10:38] <fm> Dr_Willis: I tried sudo cat /proc/asound/cards and only listed " 0 [ICH6           ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH6         Intel ICH6 with ALC250 at irq 17"
[10:38] <dr4g> Dr_Willis, i just did ?
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> dr4g:  ive not messed with cron in 3+ years. when in doubt start small with a simile command that runs every min, then work up
[10:39] <fm> Dr_Willis: I just guess BT Headset is not recognized
[10:39] <dr4g> Dr_Willis, alright thanks
[10:40] <skyl> so anyone got a midi interface they are happy with?
[10:41] <Farssi> Hi, I got some problems with mysql, I thought I set a password while install, but I cannot login to mysql. The error message is "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhostä (using password: YES)
[10:41] <Farssi> ?
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> fm:  you did pair the headset with the pc?
[10:41] <Younder> Farssi, root?
[10:42] <Farssi> I am trying as "ubuntu root" and "mysql root"
[10:42] <kekale> Farssi, have you tried without a pw?
[10:42] <fm> Dr_Willis:  yes, it is paired
[10:42] <Farssi> jep the same error,

[10:43] <kekale> oh, ok then Farssi
[10:43] <fm> Dr_Willis: which BT heaset do you have? is it Nokia?
[10:43] <Farssi> kekale: I tried to reset the password with help from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html but no difference.
[10:44] <skyl> ActionParsnip1, onboard with midi?
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> fm:  an OLD motorla HS 820 - its like 5+ yrs old
[10:44] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: i dont use midi
[10:44] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: i've use lmms on the nvidia
[10:45] <ActionParsnip1> *used
[10:45] <kekale> Farssi, did you succeed in every step?
[10:45] <fm> Dr_Willis: I'm afraid I don't know motorola
[10:46] <Farssi> kekale: I think so
[10:46] <Farssi> think=believe :)
[10:46] <aas> hi!

[10:48] <Dr_Willis> fm:  well i got the volume controls here moving the BT hdeaset volume in  the pavucontrol tool. but no sound out.. yet
[10:49] <ActionParsnip1> bradpitt: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display
[10:49] <ActionParsnip1> DaDa|Urka: why not make the initial connection as the other user?
[10:49] <fm> Dr_Willis: Do you see your BT-Headset in pavucontrol? I only see my internal sound card
[10:50] <OldEagle> hello all
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> fm padevchooser   shows mybt headset.
[10:50] <Farssi> kekale: Sorry, you where right I didn't do it right.

[10:51] <kilnux> well
[10:51] <bradpitt> ActionParsnip : i'm sorry but i'm now with nvidia card, because i can't even login and there's only cmd line like in terminal. but i can write down step-by-step to fix the problem.
[10:51] <DaDa|Urka> ActionParsnip1: because iam not the other user (hence i haven't his pw)
[10:51] <napster> How to connec to #linuxmint...?
[10:51] <ActionParsnip1> napster: /join #linuxmint
[10:51] <kilnux> i got win7 on my new pc but i want to put ubuntu to dual boot onto it but the problem is i only have 32bit 9.04 linux and i want 64bit 9.10 linux
[10:52] <OldEagle> I'm afraid that auto-updating the kernel last night, broke my ubuntu installation. Screen blinks constantly, gui does not load, and the automounter returns errors
[10:52] <kilnux> i only have the disc for a 9/04 32bit
[10:52] <kilnux> and i want a 64bit 9.10 so
[10:52] <ActionParsnip1> kling0n: then download the 64bit ISO
[10:52] <fm> Dr_Willis:  where do you see your BT headset in padevchooser? I don't see it
[10:52] <kilnux> can i upgrade onto a 64bit from a 32bit
[10:52] <OldEagle> does anyone know anything about it, or heard similar problems regarding the latest kernel updates?
[10:52] <napster> ActionParsnip1, But its not on this server...!!!
[10:52] <bazhang> kilnux, no
[10:52] <ActionParsnip1> kilnux: no, you must reinstall
[10:52] <kilnux> i want my new pc to use all my 4gb ram and my 512mb
[10:53] <ActionParsnip1> !mint

[10:53] <kilnux> wil linux be compatible with 4gb ram
[10:53] <ActionParsnip1> napster: ok, i wasnt aware, chill
[10:53] <kilnux> will liinux recognise 4gb ram
[10:53] <ActionParsnip1> napster: /server irc.servername.com
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> fm:  i think my HS is so old - it cant do 1/2 th things these new ones can. It seems tobe seen/connected/ but no sound out. Im not sure it can dothe a2d stuff
[10:54] <ActionParsnip1> napster: then join the channel, linux mint is not discussed or in any way supported here
[10:54] <ActionParsnip1> kilnux: sure, you can install the desktop pae kernel and see all the ram
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> fm:  the Pav volume meter tool dosent even show it gettting  sound.
[10:54] <skyl> error 2 grub
[10:54] <kilnux> but i want linux to use 4.ghz processor and all of my ram which win 7 is doing atm
[10:55] <kilnux> will it do it?!? on a 32bit?
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> kilnux:  on 32bit and EXACTLY 4 gb of ram . part of it will not be addressable
[10:55] <fm> Dr_Willis:  under  manager -> devices -> sinks   I  only see: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1e.2.analog-stereo
[10:55] <bradpitt> ActionParsnip1 : i'm sorry but i'm now with nvidia card, because i can't even login and there's only cmd line like in terminal. but i can write down step-by-step to fix the problem.
[10:55] <ibnulislam> Is it dangerous to use jaunty sources for karmic. As "wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists" does not contains karmic.
[10:55] <ActionParsnip1> kilnux: the 32bit can run a 4 PHz CPU if you had it, it is restricted to the 3.2Gb RAM due to addressregister length
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> fm:  i see my BT thjing there.
[10:55] <drellok> DaDa|Urka, try to remove .Xauthority file in the home dir for the user you're doing sudo to
[10:55] <OldEagle> Anyone else had problems with the latest kernel upgrade? OR is it possible to redo that update in some way?
[10:56] <OldEagle> (in case it didn't complete correctly)
[10:56] <ActionParsnip1> bradpitt: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[10:56] <kilnux> actionparsnipl: why cant i find linux CD's in any computer shops??
[10:56] <ibnulislam> Is it dangerous to use jaunty apt* sources for karmic. As "wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists" does not contains karmic.
[10:56] <kekale> OldEagle, --reinstall switch is useful :)
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> kilnux:  because they dont want to bother? they woud rather sell you  stuff they make a profit on.
[10:56] <ActionParsnip1> bradpitt: will remove the proprietary driver, if there is no desktop then also remove xserver-xorg-video-nv
[10:57] <OldEagle> kekale, reinstall what, I do not know which package broke the installation :\
[10:57] <OldEagle> you mean the kernel?
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> kilnux:  to to the local book stores and they are in all sorts of computer magazines. Or often public libraries have them
[10:57] <iceroot> ibnulislam: yes dont mix repos/versions
[10:57] <kekale> well it was you who mentioned the kernel, OldEagle
[10:57] <DaDa|Urka> drellok: there wasn't any
[10:57] <bradpitt> ActionParsnip : so i have to remove the nvidia driver if i want to use on board video card? and then reinstall nvidia driver if i want to use nvidia driver?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip1> kilnux: they can't really sell it as its not fro them to see, they can charge you a small fee for the CD and burning it but you will rarely see it, You can get them on Linux magazines
[10:57] <OldEagle> true, but with the kernel update, came a lot of other updates
[10:57] <OldEagle> so, I can't know what broke it
[10:58] <kilnux> dr_willis: i went to pc world and they tell me that i should get a antivirus on ubuntu and they recommended me some software that i shud buy?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip1> bradpitt: you will then be using the vesa driver which will work, you can then install the proprietary driver using: gksudo jockey-gtk
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> kilnux:  whats 'pc world' ?
[10:58] <kilnux> PC world a huge computer shop
[10:58] <OldEagle> have you ever seen the console blinking?
[10:58] <OldEagle> constantly that is
[10:58] <ActionParsnip1> kilnux: no need for AV, tell them they know nothing
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> kilnux:  i wouldent buy any.
[10:58] <ActionParsnip1> kilnux: i'm UK as well
[10:59] <kekale> OldEagle, then you cannot say it was the kernel upgrade that broke something. :) But apt usually has a pretty good picture of the state of the system. If something did go amiss with the upgrades, then it will tell you about it when you try to use it.
[10:59] <skyl> I have 1 HD and the install from usb can't seem to get grub on it correctly
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> kilnux:  linux is not windows.. Im not even sure there are any comercial AV programs out for linux. ( i imagine ther are some but they are for scanning windows files)
[10:59] <miha> mmm how to get proftpd to enable user login... settings get screwed at every upgrade of ubuntu :D
[10:59] <kilnux> actionparsnipl: so i dont need Antivirus on linux OS's
[10:59] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: did you MD5 test the file you put on the USB stick?
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> kilnux:  if you want one. theres clamav, and avg has a linux version i recall.
[10:59] <ActionParsnip1> !av | kilnux
[11:00] <OldEagle> ahem... I cannot load into the system in order to "see" anything. The problem is that I have no GUI and the console is unusable as the screen blinks
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> kilnux:  but they are designed to scan your windows systems/files for infections - not linux normally
[11:00] <OldEagle> also the blinking is weird, I cannot even type the exact moment the screen is off
[11:00] <ActionParsnip1> OldEagle: boot to recovery mode then select root, you can run any commands you like
[11:00] <skyl> ActionParsnip1, no
[11:00] <skyl> netboot
[11:00] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: don't you think you should have?
[11:00] <kilnux> so i cant get windows viruses on a linux?
[11:00] <DaDa|Urka> drellok: when i do xauth list with the other user it constantly tells me xauth:  creating new authority file /home/brixxi/.Xauthority
[11:00] <skyl> or netinstall, whatever ...
[11:01] <ActionParsnip1> kilnux: no, they are windows viruses, they may infect wine but that no big worry
[11:01] <beejeebus> i'm trying to find information on the space requirements for bacula
[11:01] <beejeebus> if i need to keep 7 daily, 4 weekly and 12 monthly backups of a data set
[11:01] <OldEagle> ActionParsnip1: yes, I was planning on that, but what should I type... I mean this error is obsene
[11:01] <kekale> oh OldEagle didn't realise you were in such a deep mess
[11:01] <beejeebus> does bacula do diffs, or will i need 7+4+12 * (data set size) ?
[11:01] <beejeebus> (i've asked in #bacula, no response.)
[11:01] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: did you check using MD5 all the files you could so you know they are good
[11:01] <kekale> OldEagle, you cannot see the prompt to enter grub menu even?
[11:01] <skyl> ActionParsnip1, well, this is about the 10th time I've done it ... so ... can I not get 1/10
[11:01] <OldEagle> grubs works ok
[11:01] <OldEagle> grub*
[11:01] <ActionParsnip1> OldEagle: uninstall the video driver you installed
[11:02] <OldEagle> well I didn't... autoupdate may have
[11:02] <skyl> on like 8 meg download for the net install
[11:02] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: you could download an infinite number of images and never get a good image
[11:02] <kilnux> if i insall linux on my new pc would i lose my windows 7? ( i only have 1 harddrive)
[11:02] <skyl> ActionParsnip1, that is certainly how it seems
[11:02] <bradpitt> ActionParsnip1 : ok i get it. and is there a way to not to remove then reinstall whenever i want to use the on board card or nvidia?
[11:02] <skyl> some cds I burned checked out
[11:03] <skyl> the install is putting grub on the usb drive it seems
[11:03] <miha> kilnux: no, but you need some free space... perhaps do disk defragmentation first :D
[11:03] <grawity> kilnux: Depends on how you install it. Ubuntu can automatically make space for itself without destryoing Windows.
[11:03] <OldEagle> Ok let my divert the question. Is there a way to complete remove the latest kernel?
[11:03] <kilnux> ok
[11:03] <OldEagle> I mean, the old kernel that update left on my grub menu works ok
[11:03] <skyl> and the CDs fail at lik 60+%
[11:03] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: can boot to live CD and install grub from there
[11:04] <kekale> OldEagle, yes. apt-get remove it.
[11:04] <dr4g> snd
[11:04] <dr4g> ops
[11:04] <OldEagle> will this cause the update manager to reinstall it? (I wanna give it another try)
[11:05] <kekale> That I don't know, I would have to guess and I don't want to. :)
[11:05] <OldEagle> alright... thank you very much guys
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: could try some bootoptions
[11:06] <skyl> liveCD on usb .. that's one of the permutations I haven't tried ...
[11:06] <skyl> I'm going to bet .. it checksums .. tries to install and stops at 70%
[11:06] <krabador> i mounted an ntfs partition as "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/folder"
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> skyl: good way to test the next release in alpha without modifying the internal drive ;)
[11:06] <krabador> i can create folders inside
[11:06] <krabador> but i can't download nothinf from firefox
[11:07] <krabador> i must set some type of write access?
[11:07] <andrew[andrboot]> Hi guys, running 9.10 ubuntu server, wanting to make eth0 & eth1 brdiged i.e. eth3 (same subnet etc) i know it can be done in windows.. haven't gotten to work on ubuntu here is my interfaces: (it loops back on itself) http://pastebin.com/d68bbb658
[11:08] <skyl> be back in an hour with either a "woot!" or a "someone shoot me"
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> krabador:  for ntfs you MUST mount with the proper options for users to have write access
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> krabador:  is this a external or internal ntfs filesystem?
[11:09] <handjob> Is there a way to automaticly generate ".asoundrc"?
[11:10] <krabador> Dr_Willis, is internal
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: can you give the output of: ls -la ~/.mozilla
[11:10] <krabador> Dr_Willis, of internal drive
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> krabador:  easiest thing to do would be  make a proper fstab entry for the drive. You may want tounmount it. and install/run the ntfs-config tool
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> handjob: i don't have that file, if you rename the current one is one generated
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: use http://pastebin.com
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> krabador:  example entry in /etc/fstab for my ntfs drive ->
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> UUID=6A62B9CC1192CB2D /media/Vista    ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       0
[11:11] <comp2> hi
[11:11] <krabador> ActionParsnip1, http://pastebin.com/m4d887361
[11:12] <grawity> Dr_Willis, krabador: I suggest fmask=0111,dmask=0 instead of umask.
[11:12] <OldEagle> alright, kernel problem seems to be solved. Has anyone here -by any chance- had luck with setting up ATI Radeon x1950 PRO AGP on ubuntu?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: do you log in as root or a proper user like you are supposed to
[11:12] <OldEagle> most tutorials don't cut it
[11:12] <handjob> ActionParsnip1, I am not sure am i following - I have to rename what? I also don't have this file.
[11:12] <comp2> yucih uhi
[11:12] <ActionParsnip1> handjob: isee, usually the .xxx files are generated as needed
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  I think thats what the ntfs-config tool defaulted to. or the installer. I  normally set the ntfs mount points at install :)
[11:13] <krabador> ActionParsnip1, i run firefox as user and root too, for trying to write inside
[11:13] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: ok do NOT run firefox as root, its hugely unsecure
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> Hmm...
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> :)
[11:14] <handjob> ActionParsnip1, I need it, the default system does not but i guess it won't take my will in considereation.
[11:14] <ActionParsnip1> handjob: apparently its not needed: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/.asoundrc
[11:15] <comp2> need help on ubuntu 9.10
[11:15] <comp2> can any body help me
[11:15] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: ok do NOT run firefox as root, its hugely unsecure
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> comp2:  state the actual problem to the channel
[11:15] <ActionParsnip1> !ask | comp2
[11:15] <handjob> ActionParsnip1, Aperenty I need it to do "some stuff". So i guess You don't knew the way to generate it?
[11:15] <awilkins> After upgrade to the latest kernel my automounting of USB partitions is busted, any other people encounter this (or fix it)?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: if root is the owner of your users ~/.mozilla folder then the user cannot write data to it, you have screwed your permissions
[11:16] <comp2> i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy
[11:16] <krabador> ActionParsnip1, i close it immediatly look it don't works
[11:17] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: try this: cd ~; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./.mozilla
[11:17] <ActionParsnip1> handjob: if you websearch around you may find example files, its not someting I've ever used
[11:17] <handjob> ActionParsnip1, Ok. Bye.
[11:18] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: run it as your user which will set the ownership to your user, you should then be ok
[11:18] <krabador> ActionParsnip1, the ~ folder must be the mount point'
[11:18] <comp2>  i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy
[11:18] <krabador> ?
[11:18] <ActionParsnip1> krabador: no, ~ == /home/$USER == $HOME
[11:19] <comp2>  i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy
[11:28] <comp2> will i be able to remove previous conversations in pidgin
[11:28] <comp2>  i can work with empathy.....but the above problem is the major draw back
[11:28]  * Dr_Willis can barely figure out how touse empathy
[11:28] <ishan> hi, does anyone know how to mount again a USB drive after unmounting once?
[11:29] <comp2> just remove and reconnect
[11:29] <Dr_willis_Emp> There we go.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip1> ishan: sudo mount -a;sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
[11:29] <ActionParsnip1> ishan: should do it
[11:30] <ishan> I mean without removing?
[11:30] <bigshot> is there any harddisk recovery tools? i want to recover my vista partition
[11:30] <ishan> thanks ActionParsnip1
[11:31] <ActionParsnip1> ishan: did it fly?
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> comp2:  all i can say about empathy is it sort of bites for IRC> and i do notice a 'clear conversation' menu item.
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> Dr_willis_Emp is my hero.
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> comp2:  theres no need to msg me for support on empathy and flooding me with 'plz help' wont make me a expert in using empathy.
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> comp2:  ive used the program for all of 5+ min now.

[11:44] <Dr_Willis> hello
[11:44] <siqueira> necessito de ajuda para instalar placa wireless acx111, alguem pode me ajudar
[11:44] <siqueira> ?
[11:45] <Flannel> !br | siqueira
[11:45] <ubuntu> hi
[11:46] <siqueira> y need help install acx111 in ubuntu 9.10
[11:46] <siqueira> i need help for install acx111 in ubuntu 9.10
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> !info acx111
[11:47]  * Dr_Willis has no idea what acx111 even is
[11:48] <siqueira> acx111 is card wireless
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> Plug it in, run the restricted manager tool.. see if it needs any extra drivers.. :) thats the extent of my knowledge for wireless cards
[11:50] <siqueira> yes Dr_Willis, down package , insucessful
[11:51] <alkamid> hello
[11:51] <siqueira> please, what step for install package adicional
[11:52] <alkamid> I'd like to monitor one application for its RAM usage - is there an app that I can use?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip1> siqueira: can you expand please
[11:52] <shanigans> Has anyone managed to get an esata using port multipliers working?
[11:52] <alkamid> I mean I'd like to have a chart or at least saved data every 5-10 minutes
[11:52] <ActionParsnip1> alkamid: top
[11:52] <shanigans> I've been trying to make either of mine work for ages, googling, trying different settings... blarg
[11:52] <shanigans> no luck
[11:53] <shanigans> found a few people with similar issues, but no solutions
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> alkamid: you can tell top to only display that one process if you wish
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> shanigans: not used eSATA. I use firewire instead :D
[11:53] <shanigans> yeah, I have used firewire and usb in the past
[11:54] <shanigans> but i've outgrown all the internal sata ports / space inside my (full tower) case etc
[11:54] <ActionParsnip1> pci-X sata card :)
[11:54] <shanigans> if i can get esata going then i have room for another 10 drives before having to worry about buying a new controller or anything
[11:54] <JoBe> Hi everybody! - i got a small problem with the new ubuntu (i'm newbe with ubuntu), i have a local network with several computers, and  from the Ubuntu machine i can access the whole network and proxy servers, but i've installed samba on the Ubuntu machine, but the machine is not visible in the network! - how can i change that, and if possible, change the computername dislpayed in the ntwork?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip1> shanigans: cool
[11:55] <shanigans> of course, at the moment i'm kind of at a dead end with this so I have a whol bunch of worthless bricks lying about the house
[11:55] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf   is the work group the same?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: is the ubuntu hostname pingable from the other systems? Is the IP pingable?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: if you run: sudo smbtree on the ubuntu system, does it list the shares you defined?
[11:56] <JoBe> the ubuntu is pingable..
[11:56] <shanigans> any ideas where else might be a good place to go to get help with port multipliers?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: and the smbtree?
[11:57] <alkamid> ActionParsnip1, thanks!
[11:58] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: Working...   the workgroup is the same ...
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> smbtree and findsmb are often 2 overlooked commands for samba exploration :)
[11:59] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: ok, is the client system linux or windows?
[12:00] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_willis: i rock at samba some :)
[12:00] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: the client's are windows system. When i did the "sudo smbtree", i only found one computer, and that is not my ubuntu machine, it's another computer on the network.
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  its amazing how i can get samba working great.. then for some reason it just  hits a brick wall on a single wndows machine.. THEN a few days later starts working,,
[12:00] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: thats normal, it lists the shares on the local system
[12:01] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_willis: aye, its weird
[12:01] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: why don't it lists this computer then ?, this is a windows machine, with the same configuration like the other one it found.,
[12:01] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: ok so if you head to the windows system, click start -> run   and type
[12:02] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: \\servername\sharename
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  currently the wifes netbook with xp is the one giving me issues..  then yesterday it started working. Im thinking the router/wireless stuff maybe blocking samba some how for her.
[12:02] <sadrolla> hi , i will when insert cd on cd drive no mount , who can help me ?
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  ever noticed a error message like -> (from smbtree) -> cli_start_connection: failed to connect to PINKY<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  her pc name is 'pinky' its a pink netbook
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  and this pc did work just 2 days ago.  i moved some files to it.  no changes to the network/configs  and now it fails
[12:04] <forfunzinho> enter my ubuntu so pages of google someone know what can be?
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> forfunzinho:  that made no sense what so ever.. rephrase the question.
[12:05] <FyreFoX> on a clean install of 9.10 64bit, if I install flashplugin-nonfree will that be a 64bit flash or 32bit?
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> FyreFoX:  i belive it will be 32bit flash - since 64bit is still in testing.
[12:05] <forfunzinho> ok
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> FyreFoX:  32bit flash works here for me, there are people trying out 64bit flash in some cases.
[12:06] <Pirate_Hunter> has the apache.conf changes in karmic since hardy as I am looking at it and I can't  find the option for ServerTokens & ServerSignature, can someone tell me if it is depreciated or they moved it elsewhere?
[12:07] <forfunzinho> Dr_Willis I have windos and ubuntu installed on my notebook but when I use ubuntu, and access to velox (internet) and enter using firefox so I can access pages related to google and so, the others are eternally carregan
[12:07] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: does the share show up?
[12:07] <silv3r_m00n> can I get a qt build of firefox for ubuntu ?
[12:07] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: Nope, not even when i tried the up number
[12:07] <FyreFoX> Dr_Willis: Hrm, I see. Theres a number of guides around with recent posts of ppl doing the '64bit' plugin on karmic, I have a 64bit box at work and I 'thought' it was 64bit ... I guess not
[12:07] <silv3r_m00n> something ready to install from some repository
[12:07] <forfunzinho> loading forever*
[12:07] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: Can do it my way if you like?
[12:08] <forfunzinho> xD
[12:08] <refur> Is Ubuntu x64 without pain?
[12:08] <JoBe> actionparsnip1:  sure, as long as sharing works, I'm going to use that computer as a "server".. so servering is the most important thing :)
[12:08] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: i can give you my smb.conf  it defines a single share as well as shared CDROM drive
[12:09] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: http://pastebin.com/f12da5574
[12:09] <MerlinI386> Hey all.  Have any of you ever install glassfish on ubuntu 9.10?
[12:09] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: sure, but should my computer show it's name in the network anyway?? - i mean i shared files with the samba and shared a catalouge with the system function..
[12:09] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: copy the bottom 8 lines to your smb.conf file, you can then run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER       set the password the same as your logon password
[12:10] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: not sure, this is the only way I know
[12:10] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: I'll try
[12:10] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: you can then restart samba with: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[12:11] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: you mean the "download" section in the config file?
[12:11] <skyl> removing HDs after setting grub will cause unexpected behavior?  esp if those HD are lower number, eg rm hd1 and hd2 becomes hd1 and grub is messed up?
[12:11] <LieT> Всем добрый вечер
[12:11] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: yes, thats the share name, the rest is easy to translate, you'll need to change user names etc
[12:12] <drellok> !ru | LieT
[12:12] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: it can't be something that in the smb.conf it says "windows internet name servers support section : NO ?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: do you have a WINS server?
[12:12] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: he, don't even know whats that is :) ..
[12:12] <ActionParsnip1> if you don't know, you dont have one
[12:13] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: is there anyway to "reset" the settings with the network and sharing stuff, sp i can start from the beginning. at first it worked, but it has stopped when i have installed softwares... i think.
[12:14] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: sudo apt-get --purge remove samba; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[12:14] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: does that clear everything?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: i keep my smb.conf in backup, new installs get sambe installed, copy te file in, set the password and restart the service. simple
[12:14] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: --purge clears all config files out too
[12:14] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: Trying..
[12:15] <Asmooh-Stage> hi there
[12:15] <mikeyfbi> anyone know much about router firmware?  does router firmware update automatically?  is there security risks to not updating router firmware?
[12:15] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: also if you manage it with smb.conf you can add shares remotely using ssh, add a new share to the file, restart the service and BAM, another share
[12:16] <mikeyfbi> i just recently thought about this idea ... and tried to google it but couldn't find any information either way
[12:16] <Asmooh-Stage> i dont use ubuntu myself, but at school we need to install ubuntu and i have a problem with it (thats why i dont use ubuntu)
[12:16] <Asmooh-Stage> maybe someone knows anything about it
[12:16] <mikeyfbi> other than, yes ... firmware can be updated ... but is there a security reason if you dont update?
[12:16] <Asmooh-Stage> when i install, everyting works, but when i reboot the system.. i only see "GRUB" and not the boot loader itself
[12:17] <joerack> Somebody please help me set up a samba server please?
[12:17] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: Hey, I'm a professional on computers... But i never has been used ubuntu before :)... so i'm not understanding anything you are saying. ( almost) .. i'm used to dos and stuff :) ..  well, it's working wuth the purge now, so I'll se what'äs happening ... :).
[12:17] <Asmooh-Stage> when i put the CD in and boot from first hdd, it works
[12:17] <Asmooh-Stage> but not the bootloader
[12:17] <joerack> I can't connect windows seven to ubuntu
[12:18] <JoBe> actionparsnip1:  joerack seems to have the same problem as i have :)
[12:18] <Guest42238> hi ppl, how can I make nautilus windows and the toolbar transparent from  compiz?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: you can use ssh to connect at command line and edit the smb.conf file, when you restart the service it rereads the file, if you add a valid share to the text file it will popup
[12:18] <bigshot> i want to start linux installed in USB drive i am at grub> prompt how do i find out which is my root=/dev/sdX?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: saves you having to walk over to the PC to use nautilus' slow interface to add a share
[12:19] <JoBe> joerack:  Can you see your server in the network listing?
[12:19] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: yeah.... okey, now it's been cleaned ...
[12:19] <joerack> from seven? yes
[12:20] <JoBe> joerack: But you can't login?
[12:20] <joerack> Windows: cannot access joseph-laptop
[12:20] <JoBe> actionparsnip1:  I have purget it but my win7 can't see it in the netrwork..
[12:21] <joerack> I have configured samba as "Share" authentication mode
[12:21] <joerack> is this correct
[12:21] <muri_one> how does nautilus know what program to use to open a given file?
[12:21] <bigshot> i want to start linux installed in USB drive i am at grub> prompt how do i find out which is my root=/dev/sdX?
[12:22] <JoBe> joerack: windows 7 is little stupid with login (i have the same) , if you enter as username    joseph-laptop\<your username> it might work
[12:22] <bigshot> i want to start linux installed in USB drive i am at grub> prompt how do i find out which is my root=/dev/sdX? oops I use QEMU
[12:22] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: you need to reinstall it now. Ive heard people having issues with win7 and samba
[12:23] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: Yes, windows 7 don't want to connect to samba unless it has the newest seciruty protocol...  i thought this was possible to edit in the same on ubuntu..
[12:24] <lls> hello
[12:24] <lls> can someone help me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1339087 ?
[12:25] <joerack> ouch
[12:25] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: reinstall samba?, should the ubuntu machine be visible on the network before I install the samba?
[12:25] <joerack> now I can't even ping my ubuntu pc
[12:25] <ActionParsnip1> JoBe: no idea man, i use pure linux with 1 XP and all works, I'm avoiding win vista and 7
[12:26] <JoBe> actionparsnip1: I would also avoid win7, but since i do use some software in win7 that i need for work, I got no choise...  (that's why i'm trying to install ubuntu on my lap) ...
[12:26] <joerack> windows 7 is terrible with network
[12:26] <joerack> word
[12:26] <JoBe> Joerack: Windows 7 really sucks on that part.. really bad...
[12:27] <joerack> it looks all shiny
[12:27] <joerack> but in essence it does nothing

It keeps saying that the input text file has syntax errors! The text file is supposed to be read by the python program and it is not meaningful to the shell.

[12:51] <pid12> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems........how to fix this
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> ibnulislam:   its a 'new' way to define a ppa repository to add to the package manager system.
[12:52] <shay27> Hello, i turn-on the Remote desktop on my house computer (Ubuntu 9.10) , and until last night it worked fine , but now when i am connecting the server (using vncviewer) i see the screen but its not updating , its like screecshot , i checked my modem upload and its free any idea ? does it possible to restart the Remote desktop from SSH ?
[12:53] <ibnulislam> So Dr_willis. the old way like "deb url distro-name repo-type" will be unsupported after some time. As I know it is working in Karmic.
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> ibnulislam:  i doubt it the old way will vanish
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> ibnulislam:  i doubt if the old way will vanish
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> ibnulislam:  many of the tools now can use that ppa: way and add the proper keys and stuff. makes things a lot easier
[12:55] <vuze> mgv1; edit > preference > main > when firefox start [12:55] <ibnulislam> Dr_willis: but I added such line in sources.list but it generated an error
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> ibnulislam:  you dont add the lines to sources.list
[12:55] <mgv1> vuze, no no no
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> ibnulislam:  --> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:docky-core/ppa
[12:55] <ibnulislam> Dr_willis: good
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> ibnulislam:  and putting entries in sources.list is bad habbit now.. that aboive command makes the following file -->
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docky-core-ppa-karmic.list
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/docky-core/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
[12:57] <ibnulislam> Dr_willis: Yes I put them in sources.list.d
[12:57] <joaopinto> using add-apt-repository is even better :)
[12:59] <dhiaeldeen> how can i install the driver for my tablet ?
[12:59] <dhiaeldeen> Genius ...
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> ive seen some web sites use an apt:whatever type url that firefox can use to help you load files. :) wonder if FF handles ppa: yet
[13:02] <JonathanEllis> Which edition of Ubuntu is best for a Sony Vaio VGN-X505VP? Net Book Remix or Desktop edition? It has a 10.5 inch screen.
[13:03] <kekale> What's the resolution, JonathanEllis?
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> JonathanEllis:  i hate the netbook remix gui.. but it the thing has an atom processor - you may want to use the remix. becuase it may be tweaked for th enetoboks
[13:04] <AniX> install ubuntu kermic  + graphices driver..
[13:04] <JonathanEllis> kekale: Dont know.  I am doing this for a friend as Windows XP has ground to a halt.
[13:04] <AniX> for urs vaio
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> JonathanEllis:  i imagine either will work fine. The netbook ed just has that netbook gui. which many people hate.. or love...
[13:06] <JonathanEllis> kekale: Im just booting it up. God she wasnt joking about the lack of speed. I am just trying to open up the graphics settings
[13:06] <AniX> JonathanEllis - if vaio have any driver issue with ubuntu then Xp is batter choice
[13:07] <VampX> help needed... what should I do, when [sudo rmdir directoryname", results in "rmdir: failed  to remove 'directoryname': Directory not empty]
[13:07] <SeekerNL> can someone tell why vpdau and smplayer are removed after a upgrade?
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> VampX:  bash/command line basics.. use the -r or -R (i forget) option to rm
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> VampX:  r = recursive
[13:07] <BlouBlou> SeekerNL: surelly they are old packets what are not necesary or are not supported in 9.10
[13:08] <maurer_> Out of curiosity, why does flash not work on ubuntu 64, given that it works on gentoo 64? Is this an issue of different firefox versions?
[13:08] <kekale> VampX, most probably there are files or directories whose names start with . in the directory you're trying to remove
[13:08] <JuicyJ> Whats up evey1
[13:08] <JonathanEllis> kekale: It claims to have a resolution of 1024x768
[13:08] <VampX> Dr_Willis: so, I should type [ sudo rmdir  - r directoryname ] ???
[13:09] <SeekerNL> They are not supported yes, but why does ubuntu remove them without asking me? now I have to install it again and without vdpau you can not play hd video
[13:09] <kekale> JonathanEllis, that's funny but could be true - I thought I only ever saw vaios with widescreen displays though
[13:09] <VampX> kekale: I tried to play with creating a chroot, but I don't seem to get it working, and now I want to delete the whole directory I created (was created inside "var")
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> VampX:  use rm -rf /what3ever/
[13:10] <SeekerNL> when will ubuntu even include vpdau in mplayer?
[13:10] <JonathanEllis> kekale: Its an old machine. The screen measures 21cm x 16cm which is about 4:3
[13:10] <BlouBlou> SeekerNL: surelly you selected clean option
[13:11] <therekku> Hey, Could someone help me With some installation issues? (First timer, Medium Computer knowledge - Zero Linux Knowledge. ) Please? ( Private Chat or something? )
[13:11] <kekale> JonathanEllis, then it might be true. :) I'm using the regular edition right now on a 1024x768 screen.
[13:11] <iceroot> !ask | therekku
[13:11] <aishumoorthy> Hi all
[13:11] <SeekerNL> So how can I block the packages from supported repo and install the one from the ppa?
[13:11] <JonathanEllis> kekale: Yeah it looks like 1024x768 to me. So I guess Desktop edition is probably better
[13:12] <aishumoorthy> my mic is working with lot of noice in ubuntu, how could i fix it
[13:12] <BlouBlou> !/msg ubottu repos

[13:13] <JonathanEllis> !sound | aishumoorthy
[13:13] <SeekerNL> if you ask me smplayer is good
[13:13] <friendishan> !repos | BlouBlou
[13:13] <BlouBlou> friendishan: yes, I was sending pm to ubottu for be sure wich command will I send to another user, but I foget removing first "!"
[13:13] <therekku> Basically i want to Know how to Install All the Drivers needed for my Computer, and how to install certain things E.g. Wine, and how to use it to Open applications.
[13:13] <friendishan> BlouBlou lol i just helped u out!
[13:14] <donri> smplayer is in deed good but even worse UI for gnome than vlc (i'm a sucker for aesthetics)
[13:14] <SeekerNL> thats why I use kde
[13:14] <donri> ;)
[13:14] <SeekerNL> the qt4 interface is really good
[13:14] <BlouBlou> SeekerNL: I use it too
[13:14] <therekku> How can i install ATI Radeon x1600 Drivers for Ubuntu 9.10?
[13:15] <SeekerNL> yeah it supports vdpau so its great to play my full hd movies with
[13:15] <donri> qt can use gtk to draw widgets so that's not really an issue, it has ugly icons and a bloated interface
[13:15] <kekale> Isn't restricted drivers a piece of cake nowadays though?
[13:15] <aishumoorthy> problem only when i record sound, no problem with speakers, i'll try with alsa
[13:15] <kekale> First time you boot into Ubuntu it will ask if you want to use restricted drivers, you say yes please, off you go.
[13:15] <SeekerNL> to bad most people will not know how to get a smplayer with vdpau enabled, but I do know :)
[13:15] <esmirlin> hi someone can help me? i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 on an acer travelmate 5520G but wifi is not working :( im a begginer ...

[13:16] <om26er> !emerlan | detrate
[13:16] <om26er> !emerald | detrate
[13:16] <SeekerNL> emerald is great :)
[13:17] <om26er> whatever
[13:17] <donri> ooh, i can fix the gnome-mplayer bug by disabling controls
[13:17] <detrate> okay, well I was just using it to see if I could get window decorations
[13:17] <SeekerNL> but kwin is so much better
[13:17] <detrate> I have a fullscreen konversation window without minimize, maximize and restore buttons
[13:17] <JonathanEllis> Dr_willis: This Vaio has a Pentium M processor running at 1100MHz with 508MB of RAM. Sounds like desktop edition is a better bet?
[13:17] <detrate> I just want window decorations

[13:17] <therekku> So Any ideas yet on How to install ATI Radeon x1600 Drivers?
[13:17] <Adam75> Hello. I'm thinking to setup openSSH on my regular desktop. So I can sync my laptop with it. My question is, how much does openSSH open up my computer for security exploits?
[13:18] <JonathanEllis> !wifi | esmirlin
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> JonathanEllis:  yes
[13:18] <SeekerNL> does someone have a idea why every dvd I try to burn with k3b fails ?
[13:19] <therekku> Does ANYONE here have any idea of how to install ATI Radeon x1600 Drivers for Ubuntu 9.10?
[13:21] <JonathanEllis> How stable is Karmic now? I had huge problems installing it on my rather old computer some months ago. Now I am installing Ubuntu on a friends very old Sony Vaio with a Pentium M processor running at 1100MHz and only 508MB of RAM. Would I be better installing Jaunty or Hardy rather than Karmic?
[13:21] <amachu> How would I start UNR in single user mode?
[13:21] <SeekerNL> I think Karmic is better then Jaunty
[13:22] <Pirate_Hunter__> JonathanEllis, I think it is quite stable considering I've been using it for a week now, don't have a problem with it and pulse works out of the box
[13:22] <JonathanEllis> Pirate_Hunter__: Are you using up to date hardware though. This is a really old laptop with a slow processor and not much memory
[13:23] <kekale> JonathanEllis, I'm running Karmic on a PIII 866 MHz with 512M of RAM - all swell
[13:23] <SeekerNL> I on Atom330 with a Nvidia Ion
[13:23] <kekale> I had 256M of RAM up until now - that was not too hot.
[13:24] <SeekerNL> 4 gb memory strange enough only 3 shows up
[13:24] <Pirate_Hunter__> JonathanEllis, I wish it was up to date hardware I just cant use compiz but thats nothing new to me
[13:24] <JonathanEllis> kekale: Blimey! My P4 at 2400MHz with 1GB or Ram cant handle it. The graphics are totally borked.
[13:25] <SeekerNL> I still thing it strange that my 4 gb wont get dected by either windows 7 and Linux, but in bios it shows\
[13:25] <kekale> JonathanEllis, it's all about components I guess. The Karmic did a good job of not enabling any graphical gimmicks so it's working ok on this ages-old box.
[13:25] <Pirate_Hunter__> JonathanEllis, about the special effects give up on that stick to metacity or just forget it
[13:26] <SeekerNL> without special effect kde4 looks ygly
[13:26] <aishumoorthy> ubottu: thank you...!!! after installing alsa, my mic is now working well without noice... thanks a lot...
[13:27] <JonathanEllis> kekale & Pirate_Hunter__: I uninstalled Compiz altogether but no dice. My onboard graphics adapter couldnt display the screen properly - it was all torn. Then I found out that other graphics card driver doesnt work beyond Hardy so I just went back to Hardy. And thats where this machine will stay!
[13:27] <kekale> JonathanEllis, that's always a bugger - finding out that support has been dropped.
[13:27] <Matrizero> hi guys

[13:29] <Pirate_Hunter__> JonathanEllis, weird there probaly is a fix for that like my toshiba trident wont display the screen without a certain option in Xorg, hmmm, that reminds me need to backup my xorg(s), you might want to look into that in the forums if you ever decide to give it another go at it
[13:29] <Matrizero> hey guys
[13:30] <SeekerNL> sudo apt-get build-dep mysql
[13:30] <Pirate_Hunter__> diogo_79, why compile, why not use the one in the repo...?
[13:30] <Matrizero> does any1 here knows why my wifi card (B43) cant get to channel 12, 13, 14 and so on?
[13:30] <diogo_79> i like to learn how the stuff works :)
[13:30] <mikeyfbi> anyone know much about router firmware security?  do routers automatically update their firmare?
[13:30] <uffo> Matrizero: but compiz is ok but cannot get working cube, compizconfig disablkes conflicting plugins too but afer enabling cube i even cannot switch desktop from taskbar
[13:30] <SeekerNL> Matrizero you look on box:P was there on for Windows :P
[13:31] <Adam75> Hello. I'm thinking to setup openSSH on my regular desktop. So I can sync my laptop with it. My question is, how much does openSSH open up my computer for security exploits?
[13:31] <detrate> mikeyfbi: usually you have to manually update routers firmware
[13:31] <Matrizero> Seeker
[13:31] <JonathanEllis> Pirate_Hunter__: I spent about 40 hours trying to get it working. The answer that the Matrox drivers dont work beyond Hardy came from a forum http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=748&sid=00218614ecedfc208b289ceedc8e8184
[13:31] <Matrizero> i don`t use windows except for games
[13:31] <mikeyfbi> detrate, that's what i've seen, but i consider myself fairly computer litterate and have never heard of that before this day
[13:31] <Matrizero> u know the answer 4 my question?
[13:31] <kekale> Adam75, your port 22 will be open by default. That's configurable though.
[13:31] <oidqcn> #nicksetup
[13:32] <mikeyfbi> detrate, is there possible security risks to not updating the router firmare?  google results for "router firmware security" and "router firmware auto update" are scarse for results
[13:33] <Pirate_Hunter__> JonathanEllis, oh sorry didn't realise well at least you get longer support, I use hardy as well it is good and stable so I don't see nothing wrong with it
[13:33] <kekale> I would hate it if my router decided to upgrade its own firmware without asking me - and failed :)
[13:33] <Matrizero> does any1 here knows why my wifi card (B43) cant get to channel 12, 13, 14 and so on?
[13:33] <Matrizero> any1 here with the same problem?
[13:34] <detrate> mikeyfbi: the biggest risk I'd assume is a failed upgrade
[13:34] <Pirate_Hunter__> kekale, lol that is not something to laugh about unless you got spare ones or are prepared to lose all your settings :'s
[13:34] <bezimena> bezimena
[13:34] <detrate> which is possible if you unplug the router during the upgrade for example
[13:34] <detrate> then you can brick it
[13:35] <mikeyfbi> detrate, i saw one link online of a security risk to one certain type of router and firmare, but couldn't exactly understand 100% what the risk was
[13:35] <mikeyfbi> detrate, seems maybe hackers have just not yet targeted the router firmware LOL
[13:35] <Matrizero> does any1 here knows why my wifi card (B43) cant get to channel 12, 13, 14 and so on?
[13:36] <mikeyfbi> detrate, unless i just do not understand the router firmware ... must be much harder to break than say ... an OS
[13:36] <detrate> it's pretty simple to do a factory distributed upgrade
[13:36] <detrate> backup where it lets you
[13:36] <MasterOfDisaster> Adam75: depends on how you configure it
[13:37] <detrate> config / current firmware whatever you can
[13:37] <detrate> bbiab
[13:37] <Adam75> MasterOfDisaster; Ofcourse..
[13:37] <LiCeT> hi all
[13:37] <Pirate_Hunter__> Matrizero, I have no answer for you but do explain in more details what you mean
[13:37]  * acovrig is back (gone 08:08:58)
[13:38] <MasterOfDisaster> Adam75: using public key authentication and disabling password authentication you should be fine. You might want to filter incoming packets to match local ip addresses only.
[13:38] <larry> Ubuntu 9.10 USB will not Auto Detect
[13:38] <Nova> i have a question !~!
[13:38] <Matrizero> well
[13:38] <Matrizero> i'm from brazil
[13:38] <Nova> i from china
[13:39] <Matrizero> and i was told that here, the wireless cards don`t support those frequencies
[13:39] <Adam75> poor you guys
[13:39] <Pirate_Hunter__> therekku, please dont pm ask here first I didn't even see your question, I'll answer it if I know
[13:39] <Nova> nice to meet you  Matrizero ..
[13:39] <Matrizero> nice to meet u too NOva
[13:40] <Pirate_Hunter__> Matrizero, if you're from brazil wouldnt it be easier to speak in your native tongue in #ubuntu-br (I think that is what it is called)
[13:40] <Matrizero> i don`t see a problem in speaking ur language dude
[13:40] <Matrizero> =)
[13:40] <larry> USB will connect only during boot
[13:40] <Pirate_Hunter__> oh ok
[13:41] <Matrizero> i just told ya my card doesn't support the channel 13
[13:41] <Matrizero> it returns an error saying the frequency is not supported
[13:42] <Matrizero> but i was also told that, there's some kind of patch that does the work...
[13:42] <Matrizero> but i'm kinda nu to backtrack and linux world
[13:42] <Matrizero> so i'm learning yet
[13:42] <corden> how to uninstall proposed and back-ported packages?
[13:43] <Matrizero> good!
[13:43] <Matrizero> heard about it!
[13:43] <Matrizero> how'd it be?
[13:44] <Pirate_Hunter__> Matrizero, ok saying doesn't support the channel 13 doesn't help, what is the router/modem, what you trying to do or hope to achieve and I think you may need a new firmware not sure however if you provide mroe information people would be more than happy to help you
[13:45] <Matrizero> dude, ckeck it out:
[13:45] <Matrizero> root@bt:~# iwconfig wlan0 channel 13
[13:45] <Matrizero> Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
[13:45] <Matrizero>     SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
[13:45] <Matrizero> got it?
[13:45] <Matrizero> that's my problem..
[13:46] <MasterOfDisaster> Matrizero: use a pastebin service to show command outputs
[13:46] <Matrizero> "pastebin" ?
[13:46] <Matrizero> sorry, nu to the linux stuff..

[13:47] <silktaco> hey guys:  quick q:  am setting up kvm.  virt-manager is looking for a url and a kickstart url. I've actually never installed from anything other than a CD based iso. What do I tell it?

[13:48] <calwig> Hi,
[13:48] <calwig> How does someone add/edit/delete the options from the Desktop Menu
[13:48] <arcanus> cheers, i was afraid of that :)
[13:48] <MasterOfDisaster> Matrizero: does airodump-ng work?
[13:49] <Matrizero> no master...
[13:49] <csaba> I have a user with no home directory. So when I do a svn checkout, it always asks me if I accept the certificate. I cannot accept it "permanently", because there is no place to save the certificate. Is there a way to set svn to "trust always"?
[13:49] <Matrizero> not even iwlist can recognize a network using it
[13:49] <MasterOfDisaster> Matrizero: please show us your dmesg output
[13:49] <djnvl> Calwig: use main menu editor.
[13:50] <Matrizero> should I upload an ss of it?

[13:51] <DonaldShimoda> hi

[13:51] <Matrizero> how can I bypass that
[13:51] <Matrizero> ?
[13:51] <n8tuser> move to japan
[13:52] <DonaldShimoda> i cannot get working a compiled kernel, using the same method i get working on previous ubuntu versions
[13:52] <DonaldShimoda> some changes?
[13:52] <quinten> hi, i've been having problems for a few days now with my gnome-panel. whenver i restart my computer, the gnome panel is frozen
[13:52] <quinten> killall gnome-panel makes it restart and it is responsive again
[13:52] <quinten> any clue which program may be causing the freeze?
[13:52] <Matrizero> dude
[13:52] <MasterOfDisaster> DonaldShimoda: does it compile?
[13:53] <Matrizero> moving to japan is out of my mind
[13:53] <Matrizero> http://paste.ubuntu.com/329387/
[13:53] <Matrizero> that`s the output
[13:53] <n8tuser> dude ask the FCC, you enable that without their approval, they'll hunt you down
[13:53] <Matrizero> r u guys sure there's no way of how to patch it.. or whatsoever?
[13:54] <DonaldShimoda> MasterOfDisaster, yes, it compile perfect
[13:54] <DonaldShimoda> MasterOfDisaster, but dont boot
[13:54] <DonaldShimoda> MasterOfDisaster, it bots , and then never show nothing except a blink cursor...
[13:54] <MasterOfDisaster> DonaldShimoda: then you scr*wed up the kernel's config
[13:54] <Matrizero> dude c'mon..
[13:54] <DonaldShimoda> MasterOfDisaster, i boots i mind, but never show GUI
[13:55] <Matrizero> i just need it to connect in my own AP!
[13:55] <DonaldShimoda> MasterOfDisaster, ok, i will try with a blanck config with only change on processor
[13:55] <MasterOfDisaster> Matrizero: reconfigure your AP
[13:55] <Matrizero> i cant
[13:55] <Matrizero> i pay for it
[13:55] <Matrizero> like a rent
[13:55] <gebrax> hiii

[13:59] <therekku> When i try to install Wine, through sudo, it says "E: Broken Packets, Wine 1.2 Was not marked for install" Have updated / Upgraded but no avail, any help?
[13:59] <Adam75> Spotify under Wine doesn't work so smooth with the x64 system, does anyone else have the same problem?
[13:59] <Matrizero> therekku, u gotta fix the package..
[13:59] <therekku> How?
[14:00] <deadant2> Anybody know how to change the default .torrent app?
[14:00] <Matrizero> therekku,  synaptics does the work.. i guess =)
[14:01] <Matrizero> MasterOfDisaster, if btw I by a japanese card.. would it support the the channel 13..?
[14:01] <Matrizero> buy********
[14:01] <MasterOfDisaster> Matrizero: possible
[14:02] <MasterOfDisaster> Matrizero: I'd find out, if the channel is usable in your country according to regulations, and if not, ask your "provider" to change the channel
[14:03] <therekku> Matrizero: Does Synaptics Require Computing Knowledge? as i am totally lost with it :P
[14:03] <larry> how do I determine why USB Camera, Memory Stick, Printer won't auto-detect? Kernel issue, daemon missing?
[14:03] <MasterOfDisaster> Matrizero: if it should be usable, you might be using an incorrect firmware/misconfigured your card/etc.
[14:03] <Matrizero> therekku, no dude, there's some sort of option there that is like: "Fix broken packages"
[14:03] <gebrax> thereku have u solved ur audio problem?
[14:04] <therekku> No i havent Gebrax..
[14:04] <Matrizero> MasterOfDisaster, but it has nothing to do with laws and permissions and stuff..
[14:04] <Matrizero> MasterOfDisaster, i just need to set the channel to 13
[14:05] <busata> hi, I'm using netbook remix, candidate. am I missing a repository, or is it because I removed the netbook package?
[14:05] <OerHeks> deadant2 right click the file -> properties -> go to open with tab -> select the application you want to use
[14:06] <busata> ups, seems to have cut off some text there
[14:06] <deadant2> OerHeks, will that change the default?
[14:06] <OerHeks> yes deadant2
[14:06] <therekku> Materizero: After Attempting to Fix / Update Wine 1.2 from Synaptics, i get this error Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[14:06] <busata> I removed maximus to prevent it keeps the windows maximized, but it removed the ubuntu-netbook-remix package too. Now I'm trying to install desktop-switcher, but it can't find the package
[14:07] <cantoma> guys, i am trying to mount an usbkey using "mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbkey/" and i got an error message saying that only root is able to do it. How can i give permissions for the user to mount anything?
[14:07] <P67> Afternoon
[14:07] <Adam75> Gah! I downloaded Spotify Installer.exe.. It doesnt give me any installation prompt. Just opens spotify directly. And It's buggy as hell
[14:07] <kekale> cantoma, you can use sudo to acquire root privileges
[14:07] <Snicksie> canthus13, sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbkey
[14:07] <Snicksie> hm, * cantoma instead of canthus13 :)
[14:08] <Matrizero> cantoma, u need to sudo that command 1st
[14:08] <deadant2> OerHeks, Its still auto going to transmission
[14:08] <cantoma> Snicksie,kekale, i removed sudo
[14:08] <zack_linux16> hi
[14:08] <kekale> Adam75, you're on a linux channel. Why do you use .exe binaries to run programs?
[14:08] <therekku> Matrizero did you get my message? ( or could i PM You? )
[14:08] <cantoma> for security reasons
[14:09] <detrate> When I open a second firefox window, it draws all messed up, it will open the first instance just fine but any one after, it's totally messed up
[14:09] <detrate> anyone heard of this error?
[14:09] <canthus13> Snicksie: My keys work just fine.
[14:09] <Snicksie> cantoma, there's a root sudo in the options. or try 'gksudo terminal' gives a root terminal too i suppose :)
[14:09] <Matrizero> therekku, no i didnt, sorry, but yes, u can pm me :)
[14:09] <canthus13> :)
[14:09] <ubuntu> hello
[14:09] <cantoma> Snicksie, i don't want to go to root everytime
[14:09] <P67> I've recently upgraded from kernel 2.6.31-14 to 2.6.31-15. Where *15 doesn't seem to load my LVM partitions along with it's initramfs. How do i fix this?
[14:09] <zack_linux16> hi people
[14:09] <Snicksie> canthus13, was a fauld, already said that ;) wrong highlight
[14:09] <Matrizero> cantoma, try sh then
[14:09] <kekale> cantoma, fuse MIGHT be the answer but this is just a guess. What's more, Ubuntu should recognise the usb drives automatically without the need for a separate mount
[14:09] <ubuntu> are there any people there can help me
[14:09] <P67> kernel 2.6.31-14 has been deleted aswell, the only thing i still have is 2.6.31-11 which hangs.
[14:10] <cantoma> kekale, i didn't install any GUI
[14:10] <ubuntu> can you help me
[14:10] <cantoma> kekale, its command line only
[14:10] <P67> When i start up in 2.6.31-15 i get an alert /dev/mapper/Mediacenter-root does not exist, dropping to a shell.
[14:10] <kekale> !ask | ubuntu
[14:10] <cantoma> kekale, the user is a member of the fuse group
[14:10] <kalidor> hi every one
[14:11] <P67> Sorry, it's a bit too much text to paste just in one line.
[14:11] <cantoma> kekale, here is my fstab i have this -> /dev/usbkey     /media/usbkey   auto    user,defaults   0       0
[14:11] <kekale> cantoma, I'm sorry, I don't know anything more about fuse. It's just that I heard about it when I was playing around with ntfs-3g which has now replaced the old ntfs. :)
[14:11] <ubuntu> i installed xubuntu-desktop and i lost my ubuntu login screen how i can repair it?
[14:11] <cantoma> kekale, i am speaking about letting an user to mount anything
[14:11] <Snicksie> P67, post it in a pastebin :)
[14:12] <kekale> cantoma, I don't believe fstab is the way to go then.
[14:12] <OerHeks> deadant2 i did it too, but torrent opens now in Bittornado ..
[14:12] <cantoma> kekale, on the machine that i have the problem there is no ntfs partitions
[14:12] <grndslm> ubuntu: you wanna go back to ubuntu or stay with xfce?
[14:12] <kekale> But I'm going to bail out of this discussion cantoma since I know nothing further about fuse. :)
[14:12] <grndslm> *go back to gnome
[14:12] <P67> well rather hard to do, pasting it in a pastebin since it's rather impossible to boot. let alone cp it to a remote host
[14:13] <cantoma> kekale, is there anything else rather than fuse?
[14:13] <kekale> cantoma, don't know
[14:13] <kalidor> did someone compile thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on Ubuntu Karmic ? I have some graphics issues...
[14:13] <P67> How do i recompile a suitable kernel installed by the alternate install-cd in a busybox, as i can't boot anymore due to /dev/mapper/mediacenter-root not being found
[14:14] <cantoma> guys, how can i give permissions to a normal user to mount anything .. like a usbkey or external harddrive without having to get root privileges?
[14:14] <n8tuser> cantoma ->  using fuse
[14:14] <cantoma> n8tuser, how does it work?
[14:15] <cantoma> n8tuser, should i change anything in my fstab?
[14:15] <n8tuser> cantoma -> i dont know the intimate details, i have to google for it
[14:15] <diz_Child> is ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso a liveCD?
[14:15] <n8tuser> cantoma -> make sure the fuse module is loaded
[14:15] <kalidor> trustedbird I mean, on Ubuntu karmic 64 bits
[14:15] <P67> Diz_child. no it's not. it's a text-based installer
[14:15] <cantoma> n8tuser, the users are members of the fuse group
[14:15] <DJones> !alternate | diz_Child The alternate cd isn't a live cd
[14:16] <n8tuser> cantoma -> make sure it is loaded, see /etc/modules
[14:16] <BlouBlou> !netsplit
[14:16] <diz_Child> then is desktop CD a liveCD?
[14:17] <DJones> diz_Child: Yes
[14:17] <diz_Child> thanks, DJones and other~
[14:17] <diz_Child> others
[14:18] <Lucider> hi i am a hoppy programmer but i do program in c++ and c but all my work was in terminal and i never developed for gui gtk can any one help me the easiest way to create a front end to a command line app ???
[14:18] <cantoma> n8tuser, fuse-utils is already the newest version
[14:18] <P67> How do i recompile my kernel so that i can boot up properly once again? If i boot up i'm getting dropped to a BusyBox, as it gave up waiting for root device /dev/mapper/mediacenter-root
[14:18] <joaopinto> Lucider, try quickly: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly
[14:19] <n8tuser> cantoma -> okay, then it should work
[14:19] <init[0]> Lucider: http://linux.pte.hu/~pipas/gtkdialog/
[14:19] <noren> i cant play any vid file is that anything to do with my i686 kernel ?? help me ?
[14:19] <noren> i got mplayer and vlc installed without any use
[14:20] <P67> Am i just formulating my questions in a bad way, or doesn't anyone know?
[14:20] <cantoma> n8tuser, i am looking in their page http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ but they just give strange examples. I don't see how can i use it to mount usbkeys
[14:21] <init[0]> wow
[14:21] <noren> P67, try dpkg --reconfigure -a and then reboot and update
[14:21] <shadeslayer> hi,i was wondering if someone knew how to downgrade packages?
[14:21] <P67> dpkg can't seem to be used in a busybox terminal
[14:21] <DJones> P67: Its probably more that the people able to help aren't around at the minute and may be better waiting 30 minutes or so to see if somebody who can help comes on line
[14:21] <DJones> !downgrade | shadeslayer
[14:22] <noren> P67, use grub to get in the recovery mode
[14:22] <shadeslayer> DJones: no,just specific packages
[14:22] <DJones> shadeslayer: Sorry, I thought that referred to downgrading packages as well
[14:22] <P67> recovery mode appears to drop me just as hard into a busybox
[14:23] <noren> P67, can u use apt0get in busy box
[14:23] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: why not install a stock kernel by chrooting via a livecd?
[14:24] <P67> noren: apt-get can't be used in a busybox terminal either. MasterOfDisaster: that's an option, though that might not take away my /dev/mapper/mediacenter-root error away
[14:26] <P67> I'll go try the chroot MasterOfDisaster, thanks in advance
[14:26] <acicula> P67: what are you trying?
[14:26] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: might work if you just screwed up your config and it has worked before with a stock ubuntu kernel.
[14:27] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: If you messed with the physical device somehow, it won't matter what you do.
[14:27] <acovrig> what channel am I on?
[14:27] <shadeslayer> acovrig: #ubuntu
[14:27] <P67> I'm trying to get my system working again as i've upgraded from 2.6.31-14 to 15. 15 doesn't appear to load my LVM and 14 has got stupidly deleted
[14:27] <Lucider> what is the easiest gtkdialogue or quickly
[14:28] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: you should to check if you have all devmapper related packages still installed.
[14:29] <P67> MasterOfDistaster: 14 did appear to work before, though i was convinced it was still on. Overlooked a remove due to upgrade, rebooted and then got served with a BusyBox
[14:29] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: back up your /etc/lvm, and delete it afterwards, might help.
[14:29] <frankie_> Hello all
[14:29] <Younder> hi
[14:30] <frankie_> looking for some help with sound drivers
[14:30] <noren> !sound | frankie_
[14:30] <Younder> frankie_, we prefer to keep the smalltalk to a minimum here, 1500 users and all so just ask your question
[14:31] <jadakren> your trangressions have been reported to the thought-police...black-bag team has been dispatched.
[14:31] <vladimir_e>  Hi all, I found a bug related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/224559 (inverted webcam image) but with different hardware and a patch that solves the issue. Should I open another bug or comment on this one?
[14:32] <Younder> vladimir_e, yes, but better still is adressing the developement group with the patch
[14:32] <DJones> vladimir_e: If its the same problem, I'd suggest adding details of your hardware and solution to the original bug report rather than opening a new bug number
[14:33] <frankie_> my hardware is Sound blaster audigy  2 and i have no sound, does creative make the drivers for this
[14:33] <shadeslayer> 20:02 < Younder> vladimir_e, yes, but better still is adressing the developement group with the patch
[14:33] <vladimir_e> Younder, DJones: Thank you, will do that
[14:33] <shadeslayer> whoops...stupid touchpad...
[14:34] <noren> [ 4146.452849] vlc[2360]: segfault at 0 ip 02b9b527 sp b6d47190 error 4 in libQtCore.so.4.5.2[2b4e000+22b000]?? how to solv this
[14:34] <deadowl> Younder: shouldn't the number of ubuntu channels expand if there are 1500 users in one room?
[14:35] <Younder> deadowl, there are actually quite a few
[14:35] <excode> but only one named #ubuntu, heh.
[14:35] <dto> i have a serious usability bug. my laptop touchpad is fully responsive, and even will click, while typing, even though i have disabled touchpad when typing and disabled clicks with touchpad. it used to work, but sometime around the release it stopped working.
[14:35] <Lucider> will install quickly and metasploit and aircrack-ng affect my boot speed
[14:35] <nikhil> I am unable to access internet connection and share files from Vista laptop with my Ubuntu desktop.  Ubuntu desktop is connected to internet.  I can access internet from my laptop having ubuntu installed using wubi, but not on the same laptop using vista. Please help!
[14:35] <dto> where can i disable the touchpad entirely? used to be an option for that
[14:35] <deadowl> excode: delete #ubuntu?
[14:36] <GenericBox> Would anyone mind helping out a newb install Ubuntu from CD? I seem to be having some problems at the Partition screen.
[14:36] <MasterOfDisaster> dto: modprobe -r psmouse? :-)
[14:36] <shadeslayer> dto: if you have a synaptics touchpad use touchfreeze
[14:36] <excode> oooo, that'd cause havoc, deadowl. and much speculation.
[14:36] <deadowl> shadeslayer: what's touchfreeze?
[14:36] <noren> !ask | GenericBox
[14:36] <Younder> dto: http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/24/disable-synaptics-touchpad/
[14:37] <deadowl> oh, nm
[14:37] <Younder> dto: that's the latest I have
[14:37] <dto> MasterOfDisaster: that works, how do I make the dialog box in ubuntu work?
[14:37] <wladimir> hello, i have a problem with my wlan and wpa2 in karmic
[14:37] <deadowl> yea, I need my touchpad
[14:37] <Salvad> I have a TV tuner with a remote controller.  When i touch buttons in the remote, it control functions in the computer. I want to assign other funcions to those buttons now. Does anyone know a wat to do this?
[14:37] <nikhil>  I am unable to access internet connection and share files from Vista laptop with my Ubuntu desktop.  Ubuntu desktop is connected to internet.  I can access internet from my laptop having ubuntu installed using wubi, but not on the same laptop using vista. Please help!
[14:37] <MasterOfDisaster> dto: dialog box?
[14:38] <deadowl> okay, my question for the day, is how does ecryptfs work?
[14:38] <dto> MasterOfDisaster: Preferences --> Mouse should be configuring all this, and used to work. now the options have no effect. this is an ubuntu bug.
[14:38] <wladimir> the network-manager finds my wpa2 network but is unable to connect, with jaunty there was no problem to connect
[14:38] <MasterOfDisaster> dto: ah - kde 4.3 here, so no idea
[14:38] <dto> anyone know why the Mouse menu broke/
[14:38] <dto> i really should not have to use the underlying utilities
[14:38] <nikhil>  I am unable to access internet connection and share files from Vista laptop with my Ubuntu desktop.  Ubuntu desktop is connected to internet.  I can access internet from my laptop having ubuntu installed using wubi, but not on the same laptop using vista. Please help!
[14:39] <dto> to utterly stop the touchpad device
[14:39] <P67> MasterOfDisaster: Momentarily i have booted into the livecd, though the textbased alternate where i installed from to begin with. i've chrooted into the /dev/mapper disk and checked is lvm2 was still installed. by the looks of it, it reinstalled. Yet after a reboot and booting into the 2.6.31-15 kernel it still drops me to the BusyBox with the same error
[14:39] <dto> i just want it off when typing, which checkbox used to work.
[14:39] <GenericBox> When I turn on the computer from with the Ubuntu CD inserted - it is taking me straight into the "Live CD" mode. How do I get 'back' to the boot menu so I can select install (the install option while running live seems less stable)
[14:39] <shadeslayer> MasterOfDisaster: any idea on how to downgrade qt 4.6 packages?
[14:40] <nikhil>  I am unable to access internet connection and share files from Vista laptop with my Ubuntu desktop.  Ubuntu desktop is connected to internet.  I can access internet from my laptop having ubuntu installed using wubi, but not on the same laptop using vista. Please help!
[14:40] <sipior> nikhil: you might have better luck with microsoft support than here, as your problem appears to be vista-related.
[14:40] <shadeslayer> nikhil: try #windows
[14:41] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: is dmsetup package installed?
[14:41] <wolfram41> hallo
[14:41] <nikhil> thanks mate!
[14:41] <shadeslayer> nikhil: oh and if you mean accessing you ubuntu partition from vista,forget it :)
[14:41] <wladimir> someone an idea, why karmic wont connect with my wpa2 network?
[14:42] <P67> MasterOfDisaster: Yes, it is
[14:42] <Younder> shadeslayer, !!
[14:42] <nikhil> no, i want to share only the internet connection. thats all
[14:42] <shadeslayer> Younder: ?
[14:42] <frankie_> having sound problem, with Ubuntu 9.10, my hardware is creative sound blaster audigy 2 and not sure what lib to use or if creative makes drivers under Linux
[14:42] <sipior> wladimir: increased solar activity?
[14:42] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: ok, the error you got is? device /dev/foo not found?
[14:42] <nikhil> how do you indicate a person in this chat?
[14:42] <wladimir> sipior, no
[14:42] <MasterOfDisaster> !who | nikhil
[14:43] <shadeslayer> nikhil: just type his name(or a part of it and press tab)
[14:43] <nikhil> shadeslayer: thanks there, got it
[14:43] <wladimir> sipior, in jaunty it has worked flawlessy, but since the update it wont connect
[14:43] <P67> MasterOfDisaster: Basically, but a twist of it. Gave up waiting for /dev/mapper/foo
[14:44] <sipior> wladimir: you're not going to make us guess the make of the card and the driver you're using, are you?
[14:44] <therekku> Hmm cant get Compiz Fusion to work, Read Cybernetnews on how to do it ( They advice me to download Xserver-xgl ) from Synaptic, however my synaptic doesnt seem to find this, Any Help?
[14:44] <dto> anyone know why Mouse preferences would stop being respected w..r.t. touchpad?
[14:44] <Younder> nikhil, you can acess ext2 from Windows, but you need a special driver.
[14:44] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: so that's from the ramdisk... did you put the devmapper stuff on the ramdisk?
[14:44] <nikhil> ubottu: thanks there
[14:44] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: IIRC you must create it manually
[14:44] <ramachandran> hi
[14:45] <wladimir> sipior, oh dlink dwa-111
[14:45] <ramachandran> iam using UBUNTU
[14:45] <ramachandran> can i get package for the UBUNTU STUDIO
[14:45] <P67> MasterOfDisaster: When Reinstalling LVM2 it automatically parses it to the initramfs. It even said updating initramfs
[14:45] <wladimir> sipior, which driver the usb stick uses, i dont know
[14:46] <ramachandran> hi
[14:46] <ramachandran> can i update UBUNTU to UBUNTU STUDIO
[14:46] <detrate> where did all the icons for context (right click) menus go in gnome?
[14:46] <ramachandran> for greater multimedia?
[14:46] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: check /etc/initramfs-tools/* to be sure
[14:46] <gianfranco> hola
[14:47] <P67> MasterOfDisaster: VGdisplay and LVdisplay both parse the correct info for the disks aswell. so LVM should work properly. It's just not getting picked up in the new -15 kernel
[14:47] <sumendra> hello everybody
[14:47] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: so, what about installing the old kernel and booting with that?
[14:47] <Younder> ramachandran, yes
[14:47] <ramachandran> hi
[14:47] <wladimir> sipior, ifconfig finds the adapter
[14:47] <ramachandran> then how??
[14:48] <sumendra> type that in terminal
[14:48] <dhiaeldeen> how can i write in  /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ ????
[14:48] <ramachandran> wat should i type?
[14:48] <Younder> ramachandran, you install it, then move the old data under /home to the Ubuntu Studio version
[14:48] <P67> MasterOfDisaster: initramfs-tools/modules lists only commented modules. and no lvm2
[14:48] <detrate> found the checkbox
[14:48] <dhiaeldeen> i want to copy a file to  /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ , how ? , thanks :)
[14:49] <ramachandran> ok
[14:49] <ramachandran> thanks :)
[14:49] <Younder> ramachandran, the config is quite diferent so you can't just 'update'
[14:49] <Jimi_Neutral> how do i install the flash player.so
[14:49] <ramachandran> oh..
[14:49] <shutz`> dhiaeldeen: cp filename.txt /etc/hal/fdi/policy
[14:49] <ramachandran> i have been trying for that
[14:50] <ramachandran> i saw the screen shots and gist of it
[14:50] <noren> !kernel
[14:50] <ramachandran> and felt good
[14:50] <Jimi_Neutral> anyone?
[14:50] <ramachandran> one more doubt
[14:50] <MenZa> !flash | Jimi_Neutral
[14:51] <ramachandran> i am using UBUNTU in 5 gb ext2
[14:51] <Jimi_Neutral> ty
[14:51] <BlouBlou> ramachandran: did you think about changing filesystem to ext4?
[14:51] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: if at the initramfs' busybox prompt modprobe dm-mod works, and the device shows up, then all should be fine
[14:51] <ramachandran> now becoz of updatees
[14:51] <ramachandran> i left only
[14:51] <noren> which one is better to get linux kernel generic or kernel i386 or i686 ??
[14:51] <ramachandran> 1.2 gb
[14:51] <ramachandran> can i  increase
[14:51] <ramachandran> ?
[14:51] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: I think it's missing dm-mod.ko
[14:51] <ramachandran> no
[14:51] <Younder> Jimi_Neutral, just go into Firefox and install flash. It is a .deb file for ubuntu and it works fine
[14:51] <P67> MasterOfDisaster: I'll try right now and wil let you know it's information
[14:52] <ramachandran> Bloublou
[14:52] <MenZa> ramachandran: You can edit it with gparted from the LiveCD.
[14:52] <ramachandran> i dont know
[14:52] <ramachandran> ir
[14:52] <ramachandran> ext4
[14:52] <ramachandran> ?
[14:52] <ramachandran> ok
[14:52] <noren> ramachandran, you can create a separate partition for your home folder
[14:52] <MenZa> !enter | ramachandran
[14:52] <danytz186> hello
[14:52] <EpicDyo> Hi, i'm completely new to linux and ubuntu. I updated it yesterday and now theres one more update for kde 4 but i can't download it

[14:53] <MenZa> !details | danytz186
[14:53] <DJones> !ask | danytz186
[14:53] <noren> ramachandran, use gparted to created or resize the existing partition, and then you can move the home foleder in that
[14:53] <BlouBlou> ramachandran: it's faster than ext2 and ext3
[14:53] <sipior> wladimir: does iwconfig see it as well?
[14:53] <ramachandran> noren: thanks
[14:53] <Younder> EpicDyo, kde is KUbuntu. You can use both that and gnome
[14:53] <ramachandran> ok thanks
[14:53] <ramachandran> can we change now?
[14:53] <P67> MasterOfDisaster: I'm currently in the busybox, and modprobing for dm-mod isn't giving any information back. Whereas you're right that it's missing the module
[14:53] <danytz186> i made a mastake with my partition
[14:54] <danytz186> i had 2 ext3 partition
[14:54] <MenZa> EpicDyo: What do you mean by 'can't download it'?
[14:54] <danytz186> and one ntfs
[14:54] <noren> !ext4 | ramachandran
[14:54] <danytz186> wanted to make the  3rd one ext3 to

[14:55] <ramachandran> oh..
[14:55] <ramachandran> younder: ill try for next time
[14:55] <wladimir> sipior, maybe a dhcp problem?
[14:55] <sipior> wladimir: what does iwlist say about the local access points? also, did you need (in Jaunty) to install firmware to get the card to work?
[14:55] <noren> ramachandran, when creating the new partition use ext3 or ext4(latest)
[14:56] <oCean__> !info drscheme
[14:56] <wladimir> sipior, in jaunty i do not need to install firmware
[14:56] <wanghong> how do i install drscheme?
[14:56] <ramachandran> noren: thank you verymuch :)

[14:56] <wanghong> anynoe helpme?
[14:56] <GenericBox> I am installing Ubuntu but at the "Prepare disk space" screen, after selecting 'Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup' (I still need Windows) - it brings up a 'Resizing partition' dialog. But I have just recieved an error: "An error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted." What do I do!?
[14:56] <sipior> wladimir: try grabbing an address for the interface using dhclient
[14:56] <oCean__> wanghong: sudo apt-get install drscheme
[14:57] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: try running: update-initramfs -c -k all
[14:57] <wladimir> iwlist wlan0 s finds my accesspoint
[14:57] <MenZa> GenericBox: I'd suggest you attempt to boot your system to see if you can still boot Windows
[14:57] <dhiaeldeen> cp: cannot stat `99-x11-wizardpen.fdi': No such file or directory
[14:57] <danytz186> i wanted to format a nfts partition to ext3....i opened gparted as root and unmounted it and two other partitions (ext3) wich i saw that i can label them (but inly if they were not mounted).....and when i tryed to mount them again it didn`t work..........the thing is i screwed a bit with fstab and now i dont know how to fix it :(
[14:57] <wanghong> i installed before ,but only can enter one letter
[14:58] <dhiaeldeen> cp: cannot stat `99-x11-wizardpen.fdi': No such file or directory
[14:58] <P67> MasterOfDisaster, hooks contains 0 files
[14:58] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: then lvm2 is not installed correctly
[14:58] <GenericBox> MenZa: I have already tried to install it once before. This is the second attempt and I have recieved the same error. Window's booted fine before I attempted again - however it did a lengthy checkdisk process.
[14:58] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: try removing and installing it again
[14:58] <wladimir> sipior, how to get an ipaddress via dhclient?
[14:58] <MasterOfDisaster> P67: good luck, bbl
[14:58] <MenZa> GenericBox: OK, that's good. Do you have backups of your most vital data?
[14:58] <yalu> hi. grub2. 1. how do I get to the prompt at boot 2. where is the config option for the root device hidden?
[14:58] <ramachandran> why cant i install windows after UBUNTU... i lost the UBUNTU other time, when i installed windows after ubuntu...can i recover it

[14:59] <MenZa> !grub2 | ramachandran
[14:59] <GenericBox> I am not sure. I think so.
[14:59] <MenZa> ramachandran: if you're on 9.10, you want the last line.
[14:59] <ramachandran> ok thanks ubottu
[14:59] <shadeslayer> ramachandran: ubuntu is not lost,windows overwrites the MBR
[14:59] <MenZa> GenericBox: OK. Are you on a LiveCD?

[15:00] <wladimir> sipior, does not worked
[15:00] <MenZa> noren: Not to be rude, but let me try something before we continue to that part.
[15:00] <GenericBox> Okay. So quit this setup and go into LiveCD?
[15:01] <MenZa> GenericBox: By 'setup' you mean... what, exactly?

[15:03] <MenZa> GenericBox: Just mention my name. My client will notify me I'm needed.
[15:03] <noren> EpicDyo, sudo apt-get update first,,
[15:03] <PyChild> menza no, gnome won't start
[15:03] <PyChild> it kicksme back to gdm
[15:03] <GenericBox> MenZa: Ah okay. Well I am in Ubuntu now -- off the CD.
[15:03] <MenZa> PyChild: OK. Any error message?
[15:03] <PyChild> can log into teminal just fine
[15:03] <EpicDyo> sorry noren i'm a complete linux noob. what does that mean?

[15:03] <PyChild> menza no, just throws me back to gdm, how can i get the rror messages?
[15:03] <MenZa> EpicDyo: It will update your package archive to make sure it knows exactly what packages to download, and fetch the latest versions of them.
[15:04] <EpicDyo> ok :)
[15:04] <MenZa> PyChild: That's fine; I just needed to know if you *were* getting one.

[15:04] <GenericBox> MenZa: I have opened Partition Manager
[15:04] <MenZa> PyChild: GNOME creates a file when you log in. If your drive is full, it'll fail at that.
[15:04] <EpicDyo> done it menza/noren
[15:04] <MenZa> GenericBox: Excellent. You can see your Windows partition, aye?
[15:05] <MenZa> EpicDyo: Try re-installing that package now.
[15:05] <GenericBox> MenZa: It says it is searching still.
[15:05] <PyChild> not full but checking anyway
[15:05] <MenZa> GenericBox: Right, give it a few minutes.
[15:05] <EpicDyo> still broken
[15:06] <MenZa> EpicDyo: What package is this? Where did you get it from?
[15:06] <EpicDyo> its any of the packages from the ubuntu software centre
[15:06] <EpicDyo> none will download
[15:06] <EpicDyo> they all say theyre broken
[15:06] <MenZa> EpicDyo: That is interesting.
[15:07] <GenericBox> MenZa: Okay. I guess that's it... /dev/sda1 | ntfs | 74.53 GiB | 42.07 GiB | 32.46 GiB | boot
[15:07] <MenZa> EpicDyo: Could you do me a favour and open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and put the content of it in a pastebin?
[15:07] <noren> EpicDyo, u must have unmet dependencies ?? better use sudo synaptic !! its gui software/package manager
[15:07] <erUSUL> !gksudo | noren
[15:07] <wladimir> will do a reboot
[15:07] <EpicDyo> yep, what's a pastebin?
[15:07] <MenZa> GenericBox: OK; make sure it's unmounted. Then right-click it and choose 'Resize'
[15:07] <MenZa> GenericBox: Er, 'Move/resize'
[15:07] <PyChild> MenZa: Upgraded, not full, hey I found something at tty8! something about not starting jetty
[15:08] <MenZa> EpicDyo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com - it's a place where you can put a load of text so I can read them
[15:08] <GenericBox> MenZa: How do I make sure it's unmounted?
[15:08] <MenZa> PyChild: I'm not sure what jetty is, actually
[15:08] <EpicDyo> ok :)
[15:08] <hacker-palso> hye all
[15:08] <hacker-palso> how are al of you :)
[15:08] <MenZa> GenericBox: Well, for one, you won't be able to click 'Resize/move' if it is :)
[15:08] <hacker-palso> all*
[15:08] <MenZa> !ot | hacker-palso
[15:08] <GenericBox> MenZa: Lol okay. Yes I can click that.
[15:09] <ramo102> Hi, I'm facing this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/428527
[15:09] <MenZa> GenericBox: Excellent. From there, it's a simple matter of dragging a slider to resize it to the size you want the Windows partition to be.
[15:09] <ramo102> Can someone point me to the kernel patch applied here? Or to the kernel version used in Karmic alpha 5?
[15:09] <hacker-palso> are you using karmic?
[15:09] <noren> MenZa, [ 4146.452849] vlc[2360]: segfault at 0 ip 02b9b527 sp b6d47190 error 4 in libQtCore.so.4.5.2[2b4e000+22b000]??? help me with this
[15:10] <Hans_Henrik> i get much longer WLAN range on my WinXP than Ubuntu (else, the network card works great on both OS'es), im on /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/tx_power (file), 1: does it have to do with how much power is sent to my WLAN card?  (if so, 2: what number should i go for?) using the card: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[15:10] <GenericBox> MenZa: Do I have to leave a buffer or something? So say I want to have Ubuntu use 20 GiB... Can I resize the Windows partition to leave exactly 20 GiB or should I leave so 25 to use 20 etc?
[15:10] <]pablo[> why should I use Ubuntu instead of Debian?
[15:10] <ramo102> excuse me, alpha 6...
[15:10] <MenZa> Amaranth: Perhaps you know more about ramo102's issue? Is it in the repositories, or only in your PPA currently?
[15:10] <MenZa> ramo102: Alpha 6 should be long forgotten. It's finished and released.
[15:10] <MenZa> GenericBox: Just leave 20GB for Ubuntu, then.
[15:10] <hacker-palso> im also beginner to ubuntu
[15:11] <MenZa> noren: Looks like something broke, badly. Might want to ask the #kubuntu people; it's a KDE issue as far as I can see.
[15:11] <ramo102> MenZa, I need to know the kernel version used, please
[15:11] <MenZa> ramo102: Several, I presume. Why is this so important?
[15:11] <hacker-palso> can someone tell me where can i find the great software for ubuntu?
[15:11] <GenericBox> MenZa: Okay, thanks for the patience. My computer know-how doesn't extend past front-end Windows ;)
[15:11] <MenZa> ramo102: It's not going to fix the problem you linked above.
[15:11] <ramo102> MenZa, for the bug I posted before
[15:11] <shadeslayer> hacker-palso: see synaptic
[15:11] <hacker-palso> owh yes
[15:11] <MenZa> GenericBox: Not at all; if I didn't take pleasure in helping, I wouldn't be here in the first place :)
[15:11] <hacker-palso> but its not enough
[15:11] <MenZa> ramo102: That is a Compiz issue. Not a kernel issue.
[15:11] <Matrizero> people
[15:12] <hacker-palso> for example i just found other installer but not mention in synaptic
[15:12] <MenZa> GenericBox: If I can help someone be introduced to the wonderful world of Free Software, I have all the patience in the world :)
[15:12] <Matrizero> my b43 (broadcom) wifi card doesnt support the channel 12,13,14...
[15:12] <MenZa> hacker-palso: Yes. We can't have everything in the repositories, but we do have quite a bit of software. Have a look at the Ubuntu Software Centre.
[15:12] <Matrizero> any help?
[15:12] <EpicDyo> Menza, done that :)
[15:12] <hacker-palso> oh thank you im gonna find that
[15:12] <MenZa> EpicDyo: Right, pass me the link for that pastebin entry so I can read it :)
[15:12] <ramo102> MenZa: from the bug: "This should be fixed with a kernel update that came after alpha 5"
[15:12] <wladimir> sipior, still does not work :(
[15:12] <EpicDyo> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/329436/
[15:13] <GenericBox> MenZa: :D Okay, so finally (We hope), "Round to cylinders" is checked, yes?
[15:13] <concker> Hi, i just got virtualbox whit xp up and running perfectly, tho i want to move some school files from my linux to the virtual xp, any 1 know how i can do this ? thanks
[15:13] <MenZa> ramo102: Ah, after re-reading all the comments, the problem doesn't exist anymore.
[15:13] <MenZa> GenericBox: Just go with whatever is default.
[15:13] <MenZa> !samba | concker
[15:13] <gastly> ramo102, are you using karmic's final release? it's fixed with the final release
[15:13] <concker> ty
[15:13] <Matrizero> MenZa, my b43 (broadcom) wifi card doesnt support the channel 12,13,14...
[15:13] <Matrizero> MenZa, any help dude?
[15:13] <MenZa> ramo102: Run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' - if you are running the final release, and you're still experiencing the same problem, re-open the bug.
[15:14] <MenZa> Matrizero: No, because I'm not a wifi-guru. Sorry. Nor is that really a support question; if it's a hardware issue, there's not much we can do in here.
[15:14] <hacker-palso> re-open the bug means send the bug to ubuntu website?
[15:14] <PyChild> MenZa: jetty issue was unrelated. I get some output at tty8 but no explicit errors. This happened after hibernating so it might be a restoration problem
[15:14] <EpicDyo> Menza, there's also an update which gives me an error when i try to download it. I'll put that error text in a pastebin too
[15:15] <ramo102> MenZa, if I ask you this, is because I'm not running ubuntu now...
[15:15] <MenZa> hacker-palso: Just log into Launchpad and change the status from 'Fix committed' to 'New', and comment that you're now experiencing the issue with kernel version x, fully-updated
[15:15] <GenericBox> MenZa: Okay it has now... Unallocated | unallocated | 19.53 GiB | --- | --- |         Do I just reboot and install off the CD now?
[15:15] <concker> MenZa,  i dident under stand all of that, guess i just can use a usb drive ? :P
[15:15] <MenZa> GenericBox: Pretty much, yep.
[15:15] <ramo102> I only need to know the kernel version where this patch is
[15:15] <EpicDyo> its the kdelibs5 (core libraries for all KDE 4 applications)
[15:15] <njbair> I have ubuntu on an eeepc and two-finger scrolling works great, but can ubuntu take advantage of multitouch zoom and rotate?
[15:15] <MenZa> concker: Could do, yes. The guide should be pretty straight-forward, though
[15:15] <GenericBox> MenZa: Awesome thanks alot.
[15:15] <MenZa> GenericBox: Welcome. If you run into any more issues, feel free to come back :)
[15:15] <anilalur> njbair: yes it can do that
[15:16] <concker> im not that of a linux freek, and its only some shcool electronics software witch im going to run there anyways :D
[15:16] <njbair> anilalur, out of the box?
[15:16] <anilalur> njbair: not yet, but there are few scripts that you can use to add those gestures
[15:16] <MenZa> EpicDyo: One sec, sorry about that
[15:16] <njbair> anilalur, i haven't had any luck finding it on google. do you know where to look?
[15:17] <EpicDyo> Menza: No problem
[15:17] <anilalur> njbair, There is one on IBM website, let be look
[15:17] <MenZa> EpicDyo: I'm just checking to see if there's a problem with the gb.archive mirrors
[15:17] <MenZa> Doesn't look like it, EpicDyo. What package were you trying to install again? Exactly what package.
[15:17] <anilalur> njbair: here it is http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-touchpad/
[15:18] <ritesh> hey guys , any proxy browsing software , for ubuntu...other than tar
[15:18] <EpicDyo> Menza: well some games, some educational packages. basically every single one i try to download gives the same message. I've tried about 20
[15:19] <MenZa> EpicDyo: What's the exact message you get again?
[15:19] <njbair> anilalur, thanks, will take a look
[15:19] <titan__> what is the package that allows me to open a terminal window from any directory with the right click mouse button menu?
[15:19] <anilalur> ritesh: tar ?
[15:19] <GenericBox> MenZa: Far out :( "An error occurred while applying the operations" | See the details for more information
[15:19] <MenZa> GenericBox: The details are?
[15:20] <EpicDyo> Menza: The package system is broken. Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
[15:20] <EpicDyo> Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f
[15:20] <GenericBox> MenZa: I don't know - That was all the dialog said.
[15:20] <MenZa> GenericBox: A...ha.
[15:20] <MenZa> EpicDyo: Try that.
[15:20] <gastly> titan__, sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[15:20] <MenZa> GenericBox: That's... odd.
[15:20] <EpicDyo> Menza: the details box - kdebase-runtime libplasma3 libknotificationitem1 kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 kdelibs-bin
[15:20] <nikhil> i had no problems with sharing internet with my XP. Vista doesnt seem to work at all.  I tried other XP laptop and there was no problem at all regards the connectivity. Any configuration setting required in Vista?!
[15:20] <nikhil> i use wireless
[15:21] <MenZa> GenericBox: Did you close that dialogue yet?
[15:21] <ritesh> anilalur, yeah tar is for mozilla proxy browser..
[15:21] <MenZa> GenericBox: If you expand the window a bit to the right, you'll see there are drop-down arrows for each individual operation. Find the one that fails (indicated with a big red (X)) and let me know what it says.
[15:21] <titan__> gastly, thanks
[15:21] <ramo102> Please someone help me. Have you Karmic's final release? Please run "uname -r" and tell me the result
[15:21] <gastly> titan__, yw
[15:21] <erUSUL> nikhil: ask in ##windows ?
[15:21] <GenericBox> MenZa: In the Details section of the "Applying pending operations" dialog there is a halt sign on a 'step'... "shrink file system (-)" | "run simulation (-)" | "ntfsresize -P --force /dev/sda1 -s 59049252863 --no-action"
[15:21] <erUSUL> !final | ramo102
[15:22] <MenZa> !windows | nikhil
[15:22] <MenZa> GenericBox: Oh, this is in gparted?
[15:22] <ramo102> erUSUL, I don't actually run ubuntu
[15:22] <GenericBox> MenZa: Yes.
[15:22] <MenZa> GenericBox: Hm, that's... weird.
[15:22] <MenZa> GenericBox: I suggest a good defrag in Windows.
[15:23] <toman> hello there, can someone tell how to edit the file sources.list ? when i try to save it (after changed it) it sais that i can't save it
[15:23] <EpicDyo> Menza: gives me the following message - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/329446/
[15:23] <toman> and i dont know why :(
[15:23] <gastly> ramo102, 2.6.31-15-generic
[15:23] <MenZa> EpicDyo: You want 'sudo apt-get install -f'
[15:23] <MenZa> EpicDyo: :)
[15:23] <MenZa> EpicDyo: You couldn't know that; the error is a bit retarded.
[15:23] <ramo102> gastly, thanks
[15:23] <GenericBox> MenZa: Okay... But what about this partition thing? Have I screwed up the computer now or has it 'not applied'?
[15:23] <anilalur> toman: edit as root !
[15:23] <gastly> toman, you need to edit it with root privileges, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:23] <toman> tnx!
[15:24] <MenZa> GenericBox: You most likely haven't, but when gparted fails, things *can* go really bad.
[15:24] <MenZa> GenericBox: (Hence why I asked you about backups previously)
[15:24] <MenZa> GenericBox: gparted can be a Weapon of Mass Destruction, but it can also be a rather neat tool for managing partitions.
[15:24] <nikhil> right
[15:24] <EpicDyo> Menza: not sure if its worked? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/329448/
[15:25] <GenericBox> MenZa: Hmm... Lol that is reassuring. Finger's crossed Windows still works then. I might go on there and clean up abit. Then retry.
[15:25] <raik> how to download bittorrent files faster using transmission?
[15:25] <MenZa> EpicDyo: Do me a favour - pastebin the output of 'df -h'.
[15:26] <ZaNeIuM> i want to resize my unbuntu os partiton (hdd1) but its not letting me unmount, i booted from drive 2 wich is also running ubuntu, its where i am runnging gparted from
[15:26] <acicula> is there a twitter client that uses the osd notification for messages?
[15:26] <GenericBox> MenZa: Maybe if I don't try to resize by so much?
[15:26] <MenZa> acicula: Gnome-Do does.
[15:26] <EpicDyo> MenZa: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/329449/
[15:26] <anilalur> acicula: Gwibber
[15:26] <MenZa> GenericBox: I'd still suggest a good defrag, just to be on the safe side. But yes, if you're trying to compress it more than it's able to, that could be a problem.
[15:26] <anilalur> acicula: Gnome-do n also mbplugin for pidgin
[15:27] <Ghoster> Goodmorning all...
[15:27] <ritesh> when you browse a file via mozilla , where are cookies , sessions stored ...it usually is stored in profile folder in mozilla ..but where in linux

[15:28] <GenericBox> IRC question - Can I "turn off" all the system like notices about who leaves/quits or who gets promoted etc?
[15:28] <grawity> GenericBox: Depends on your IRC client.
[15:28] <raik> can download on transmission be above the bandwidth given by isp?
[15:28] <erUSUL> GenericBox: depends on the client you use
[15:28] <EpicDyo> Menza: No, downloaded and installed on windows 7
[15:28] <GenericBox> XChat sorry
[15:28] <ritesh> erUSUL, thanks

[15:28] <MenZa> EpicDyo: So, it's a Wubi installation?
[15:29] <MenZa> raik: no.
[15:29] <GenericBox> erUSUL: Ahh, cool... Thank you.
[15:29] <EpicDyo> Menza: not sure what that means lol. its Ubuntu and when i turn my laptop on i choose whether to boot windows or ubuntu
[15:29] <acicula> with gnome-shell where does empathy go, it doesnt show up in the systray and seems to go mia
[15:29] <MenZa> EpicDyo: You booted the CD in Windows, then followed instructions there?
[15:29] <MenZa> acicula: nowhere.
[15:30] <acicula> MenZa: awesome :P
[15:30] <MenZa> acicula: gnome-shell doesn't handle notifications yet.
[15:30] <raik> menza i have dsl of 256kbps but download in torrent files usually is 30kbps but sometimes it goes higher ? what is that suppose to mean?
[15:30] <MenZa> raik: That depends on the other people who are seeding the torrent.
[15:30] <EpicDyo> Menza: well i downloaded the exe in windows and followed the installation there yes
[15:30] <ldy> kj;aslijfsaemrij
[15:30] <vyan> anybody can help me
[15:30] <MenZa> EpicDyo: The... exe?
[15:30] <raik> menza are there other ways to make the download of the torrent files faster?
[15:30] <MenZa> raik: no.
[15:31] <EpicDyo> .exe yeh, the installation file i downloaded from the ubuntu website
[15:31] <Ghoster> I'm trying to install 2 video cards in ubuntu all the same monitors 3 x 19" Samsungs. The first card is an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 which starts right away on both monitors. The Second is a ATI Card so I can run the third but I can't get it to show anything even though Ubuntu sees it in the hardware and drivers setup and lspci -a can see both cards as well ??? PLEASE HELP...
[15:31] <EpicDyo> Menza: .exe yeh, the installation file i downloaded from the ubuntu website
[15:32] <MenZa> EpicDyo: Ubuntu is distributed as a CD image, not an exe file. The ISO image does, however, contain the ability to install it from a .exe with a system called 'Wubi'

[15:34] <Alexa> ~.~ what the hell just happend
[15:34] <MenZa> EpicDyo: Right. The problem is basically that dpkg is having input/output problems, which leads me to believe there is something wrong with how it was installed

[15:35] <mikebeecham> anyone know of a good media player for Linux, that isn't Rhytmbox or Banshee?
[15:35] <MenZa> EpicDyo: I'm not familiar with how Wubi works (voodoo magic, I presume), so I'm not really confident in continuing
[15:35] <MenZa> !best | mikebeecham
[15:35] <erUSUL> diogo_79: a user without login shell (or restricted one) that is created for some system service like cron apache etc....
[15:35] <diogo_79> when i create a user if i put the option -r i am creating a system user rigth?
[15:35] <MenZa> mikebeecham: See above, please.
[15:36] <c0p3rn1c> mikebeecham, amarok
[15:36] <wladimir> mikebeecham, amarok, exaile
[15:36] <EpicDyo> Menza: I downloaded the ubuntu installer for windows
[15:36] <Younder> hate these net splits
[15:36] <mikebeecham> MenZa: I didnt ask for best...I asked for 'other'....READ THE POST CORRECTLY
[15:36] <MenZa> diogo_79: What you want to do is create the user, then sudo adduser <username> admin. This will allow them to use sudo.
[15:36] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, what is the consensus on media center like software for linux? I have a machine that I want to use to watch dvd's, divx, play music, etc, but also use as file storage through nfs and stuff
[15:36] <SmokeyD> and control with a remote control (lirc)
[15:36] <diogo_79> why that user doest appear in user and groups application
[15:36] <MenZa> mikebeecham: I am. You're still violating it. An option would be to go to #ubuntu-bots and write 'BestBot: list all music players'
[15:36] <SmokeyD> what would be the best software to use for this? Mythtv? Or others?
[15:36] <c0p3rn1c> for the bash guru's : how would I pipe xml to xsltproc?
[15:36] <mikebeecham> violating?
[15:36] <mikebeecham> get a life
[15:36] <erUSUL> SmokeyD: xbmc ? mythtv ?
[15:37] <mikebeecham> I asked a question
[15:37] <MenZa> mikebeecham: Before continuing, you may want to check the links you just received - thanks.
[15:38] <bradpitt> wow, we're losing 1000++ ppl
[15:38] <diogo_79> the user i create is mysql and i have create this user with useradd -r -g mysql mysql
[15:38] <SmokeyD> erUSUL: would you recommend either of the two?
[15:38] <mikebeecham> so wladimir, amarok or exaile are good options?  I'll check those out...thanks
[15:38] <Alexa> just a question if the live CD see my broadcom ... why would the install not see it ....
[15:38] <diogo_79> but this user is not appearing in application user settings
[15:38] <lucka> !skype
[15:38] <diogo_79> is this normal behavior
[15:38] <bradpitt> run for your life!!
[15:39] <SmokeyD> erUSUL: I guess I am just being lazy, sorry. I'll check them out more thoroughly myself
[15:39] <bazhang> bradpitt, please stay on topic
[15:39] <erUSUL> SmokeyD: never used them. yu will have to do your own research. xbmc is only plater. mythtv can be used as VCR too
[15:39] <erUSUL> player*
[15:39] <SmokeyD> ok, cool
[15:39] <SmokeyD> well, I only need a player really. Why use a VCR if you can download the stuff as well :)
[15:39] <Alexa> if i install a driver while on live cd will it be transfer on install ?
[15:39] <SmokeyD> there is only crap on tv anyway
[15:39] <SmokeyD> :)(
[15:40] <hassanakevazir> Alexa, nothing will transfer from live CD
[15:40] <MenZa> Alexa: No, you'll have to install that once you've installed your system.
[15:40] <Alexa> .. noooo when i install it it dosent see broadcom hardware anymore
[15:40] <EpicDyo> Menza: haha ok no problem dude. Thanks anyway :)

[16:16] <shadeslayer> lucka: whats the problem with the default drivers?
[16:16] <lucka> shadeslayer: er.. as I said gnome-network manages didn't seem to find any network..
[16:16] <Yanick_> Younder, I need a good debugger style application, like biew, but graphical
[16:16] <Younder> diogo_79, http://www.linuxconfig.org/Bash_scripting_Tutorial
[16:16] <shadeslayer> oh missed that one :)
[16:17] <lucka> shadeslayer: so I've installed wicd which has deleted default gnome-network-manager but it didn't find any ethenernet..

[16:18] <shadeslayer> yeah that?
[16:18] <rampageoberon> lucka: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770173 <-- - that thread might help you, not sure though
[16:18] <lucka> shadeslayer: didn't wannt to connect
[16:18] <Younder> Yanick_, gdb is line oriented, and chryptical.
[16:18] <shadeslayer> lucka: whats the error?
[16:18] <lucka> shadeslayer: it jumped from eth0 to wlan0
[16:19] <lucka> and in the end it stopped
[16:19] <Younder> Yanick_, it is however, powerful
[16:19] <Yanick_> Younder, I have it installed already... apparantly

[17:17] <seth> anyone available to help my set up a DSL conection?
[17:17] <vistro> Is there a reason that my USB wireless card works on my laptop but not on my desktop, running the same version of Ubuntu?

[17:18] <nytek_> vistro: um do you restart when you plug in it or is the desktop already running?
[17:18] <Bengan3> mbeierl: Ps: Stock is correct atm.
[17:18] <LjL> porkpie: yes, or double, shouldn't make any difference. or just type     echo 1 >>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward    as root
[17:18] <vistro> on both: already running
[17:18] <mbeierl> Bengan3: k, thanks - trying to figure out where the current sources are... probably just going to go with apt-sources
[17:19] <nytek_> seth: you might want to call the isp to help you with that :D
[17:19] <porkpie> LjL: Still get the same error
[17:19] <seth> :-)
[17:19] <seth> that was my next thought but they only speak german
[17:19] <Bengan3> mbeierl: I think, a month from now. Invest in currency, Itll shoot.
[17:19] <Bengan3> Np
[17:19] <alid> Hi. I can't seem to ping my ubuntu box from outside. It has a routable IP address. I asked for help in ##linux, and somebody told me that it might have been because of 'ufw'. Can anybody please help on how I can disable that feature? I'm running karmic, btw.
[17:19] <gost> KindOne: jeah so?
[17:19] <nytek_> seth: well is it plug in directly to the computer?
[17:19] <gost> hm..
[17:20] <Hans_Henrik> the "search for files" is bugged, or ignores "read-only" files.. i go in /sys and search for "tx_power", i know tx_power file  exist in "/sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0", "/sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/driver/0000:0c:00.0", "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:0c:00.0" and probably more places, and the user im on got READ access to all of them, however when i try...
[17:20] <KindOne> gost: there is a Slovenian Ubuntu Channel
[17:20] <Hans_Henrik> ...to search for this file, nautilus only finds the 1 in "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:0c:00.0", and none of the others i know exist - ideas what's gone wrong?
[17:20] <llutz> seth: any error
[17:20] <ray_> question, has anyone here been able to get anarchy online to work on Wine?
[17:20] <LjL> porkpie: i don't know then... are you running a custom kernel?
[17:20] <DuBz09> hi all
[17:20] <llutz> seth: what's the isp?
[17:20] <KindOne> gost: #ubuntu-si
[17:20] <seth> nytek: yes, from the wall to a T-Mobile device to the network port on the compter
[17:20] <porkpie> LjL: 2.6.16.29-xen
[17:20] <seth> T-Mobile
[17:21] <Bengan3> mbeierl: When i knew RedHat stock was gonna boom 200/500% up... I didnt buy :( .. Same with google :)
[17:21] <nytek_> seth: try running iwconfig on the device and then connect it with dhclient?
[17:21] <LjL> porkpie: uh, that's definitely not a standard ubuntu kernel, unless perhaps you're running a very old ubuntu release...?
[17:21] <mbeierl> Bengan3: ah... with a little hindsight what millionaires we'd all bee
[17:21] <gost> KindOne: I was thinking that I would get here actually an answer :)
[17:21] <Bengan3> mbeierl: I coulda put some millions in both. Thatd have felt a bit better
[17:21] <ray_> anyone here play anarchy online  in linux?
[17:21] <seth> ixconfig
[17:21] <porkpie> LjL: running dapper
[17:21] <mbeierl> Bengan3: if I had millions to put in...
[17:21] <seth> standybye
[17:21] <Bengan3> mbeierl: Suredly so, suredly so.
[17:21] <LjL> porkpie: ouch.
[17:22] <Bengan3> mbeierl: Lick the market, feel the flow :)
[17:22] <KindOne> gost: im just telling you since there is a channel in your native language
[17:22] <LjL> porkpie: there's a bug about dapper that seems related at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guarddog/+bug/40313 - but it was closed as missing info
[17:22] <porkpie> LjL: but it is running on xensource
[17:22] <mbeierl> ok, where do I go for info on getting package sources.  I know there's the deb-src http: repo line, but fetching, building, etc?
[17:23] <vistro> nytek I plug it in either one when they are turned on.
[17:23] <porkpie> LjL:looks like I need to upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu
[17:23] <Bengan3> mbeierl: Want the email or just get the latest source ?
[17:23] <LjL> mbeierl: "apt-get source packagename" will get the source
[17:23] <lippij> nytek_: ok X is running now. resolution is still a problem
[17:23] <nytek_> mbeierl: apt-cache search packagename
[17:24] <LjL> !source | mbeierl
[17:24] <Bengan3> Strut!
[17:24] <mbeierl> thanks all :)
[17:24] <nytek_> lippij: it sounds like you are having a display driver issue, you might want to use envy-ng to reconfigure it or try and look at your restricted drivers to enable it
[17:25] <lippij> nytek_: ty, i will try that
[17:25] <duffydack> damnit.. Can anyone figure out why FF and even chromium are slow and stuttery when playing flash videos.  I have a perfect jaunty install that has 0 problems so its only karmic.  Any ideas?
[17:25] <Bengan3> Never Ever, Fucking ever buy Fujitsu Electronics!
[17:25] <LjL> mbeierl: it's probably mentioned there, but a useful command to keep in mind is also "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename", that'll get all the dependencies needed for building a package
[17:25] <nytek_> lippij: youre welcome
[17:25] <nytek_> LjL: good call, i didnt know that
[17:25] <nytek_> LjL: noted :D
[17:26] <KindOne> duffydack: what flash are you using ?
[17:26] <duffydack> KindOne, same one jaunty is using.
[17:26] <duffydack> KindOne, flashplugin-installer from medibuntu
[17:26] <mbeierl> LjL: kewel, thanks... doing that now...
[17:27] <duffydack> KindOne, I dont think its so much flash as it might be the free ati driver in karmic, but its the free driver im using in jaunty and its super smooth even with compiz
[17:27] <mbeierl> LjL: as an example: there's 168 packages that I need - caught by that 1 command.  excellent, thanks!
[17:27] <KindOne> duffydack: from what i can tell, ATI drivers for linux are horrible
[17:27] <Younder> flash works here
[17:28] <nytek_> duffydack: i have ati drivers :D, they rock
[17:28] <rseeber> Hello
[17:28] <duffydack> KindOne, well in Hardy, Intrepid an  Jaunty my system was rock solid and smooth...

[17:29] <mrXX> guys, what is the link that i can put in rhythmbox radio   http://www.hitsfm.com.np/listen_live_popup.php
[17:29] <duffydack> KindOne, flash played while rotating cube, movies played, I could do anything and nothing slowed anything down.  Karmic is the only problem it seems.. hmm
[17:29] <llutz> seth: no connection to dsl-endpoint
[17:30] <mrXX> http://www.hitsfm.com.np/listen_live_popup.php   what link will work for this radio to work in rhythmbox??

[17:31] <hotmonkeyluv> I have a toshiba laptop that uses the intel 5100 wireless abgn card, but it wasn't recognized in ubuntu 9.10 and the marvel tech 88E8040T wired interface wasn't recognized either. I cannot get internets in my laptop. I have looked at the http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi site, and it says:  "Using kernels 2.6.24 and up: These kernels have the iwlwifi driver included and the released drivers (available from this si
[17:31] <hotmonkeyluv> te under download page) do not work with these kernels." I can't find much on the wired interface problem though. I don't know how to get the wireless working, can I get some help please?
[17:31] <Bengan3> Wow!!! Moving the Ubuntu sound slider in Karmic makes it sound like when one of those regular peoples become agents in "The Matrix". Its got to do with having a "sound theme". /Geesh!

[17:32] <Paschu> Hey guys, how can i extract ubuntu on my usb stick? I want to boot from it
[17:32] <vistro> nytek inserting the plug when the machine is off does not help. The card works okay on my laptop when hotplugged. I can view wireless networks on the desktop, but I cannot connect. System Testing does not recognize the card. When connecting to a secure network, I am asked for a key. It tires to connect for about 30 seconds, and then it asks for the key again. When connecting to a unsecure network, it attempts to connect for about 60 sec
[17:32] <vistro> onds, then says that it is disconnected.
[17:32] <dAlfa89_> !usb | Paschu

[17:55] <Rhetorical> I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive.  It works fine, but the computer I installed from now uses GRUB to boot an OS.  The GRUB is on the external hard drive, so it has to be plugged in in order to boot.  How do I get my computer to use the Windows operation-system-selector instead of GRUB?
[17:55] <blackshell> aliciapg:does your laptop have Fn key?
[17:55] <rseeber> Younder, it's been plugged in most of the time, and i shot off sleep on lid close

[17:57] <Rhetorical> @omkar  It's probable something very simple, I just don't have any idea to start going about it.
[17:57] <llutz> neodragon: avidemux, k9copy, ffmpeg
[17:57] <omkar> yes
[17:57] <aliciapg> blackshell: well i tried that but didn't seem to do anything
[17:58] <Rhetorical> neodragon:  I think HandBrake has a Ubuntu build.
[17:58] <Younder> rseeber, Use hdparm; a command line tool to disable advanced power management (APM). This is achieved by running the following command :$ sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda

[17:59] <Rhetorical> I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive.  It works fine, but the computer I installed from now uses GRUB to boot an OS.

[18:00] <aliciapg> blackshell: :D
[18:00] <rseeber> Younder, i just ran the command, so i'll see what happens when i come back to the computer later tonight
[18:00] <Younder> rseeber, I dons't have to do with battery, but more with what it DOES when it sleeps
[18:00] <omkar> i guess there is an option if u want to have grub or keep it as it is(regarding bootloader)
[18:01] <omkar> isn't it?
[18:01] <Paulo39> hi. I had grub 1.5 and i updated to grub2. I installed grub2 without problem and then i replaced the grub1.5. On that part, it asked me in which devices would i want to install grub2, and e accidentaly skip installation on the devices and now, when i boot my pc, it gives me grub1.5 no found and i cant access to my system.

[18:01] <raboof> hi! i used to have wireless internet though /etc/networking/interfaces and ifup/down, but after upgrading to karmic that didn't function well, so I switched to using NetworkManager (as that seems to be the default anyway)
[18:01] <rseeber> Younder, Thanks!
[18:01] <raboof> this sort of works, but I get disconnected a lot
[18:02] <raboof> i notice there are 2 instances of /sbin/wpa_supplicant running. Is that right?

[18:03] <josvuk> Duskao: there is also a #ubuntu-powerpc channel
[18:03] <Duskao> josvuk thanks for replying. I'm actually not using it. I have a buddy that is going to give it a try. I gave him a Ubuntu ppc disc and he is trying to boot it up.

[18:04] <Duskao> josvuk can I pm you?
[18:05] <Rhetorical> I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive.  It works fine, but the computer I installed from now uses GRUB to boot an OS.  The GRUB is on the external hard drive, so it has to be plugged in in order to boot.  If I boot without the external drive plugged in, I get the error message "Drive not found"  How do I get my computer to use the Windows operation-system-selector instead of GRUB?
[18:05] <rseeber> genii, Thanks, I'll check that out
[18:05] <josvuk> Duskao: feel free.
[18:05] <raboof> maco: ah, how do you bring up your wireless then? ifup/ifdown?
[18:05] <maco> raboof: yep
[18:05] <P67> How does one create a new kernel image, the initrd and vmlinuz'es on lvm based systems. i'm unable to boot my lvm system anymore due to not having lvm in the kernel and i can't seem to get a kernel on properly
[18:06] <raboof> maco: ok, thanks for checking, i'll try and see if I can get it running like that again then :)
[18:07] <Andycas> my 9.10 login screen resolution is too small, something like 800x600, after login my resolution changes to normal. How to fix this?

[18:08] <Paulo39> hi. I had grub 1.5 and i updated to grub2. I installed grub2 without problem and then i replaced the grub1.5. On that part, it asked me in which devices would i want to install grub2, and e accidentaly skip installation on the devices and now, when i boot my pc, it gives me grub1.5 no found and i cant access to my system. I'm in live session now, how can i fix grub2? please, help me :S
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> Andycas:  you mean the res is to 'low'  :)
[18:08] <Duskao> josvuk did you get that?
[18:08] <Andycas> Dr_Willis, well yeah.
[18:08] <Rhetorical> I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive.  It works fine, but the computer I installed from now uses GRUB to boot an OS.

[18:08] <genii> Andycas: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm                usually works to set it to whatever is now being used as the default

[18:10] <ricknix> hi all
[18:10] <wrapster> hdon: i would like to know if i will have to reinstall ubuntu after resizing?
[18:10] <wrapster> hdon: or can i just go ahead and increase the size to what ever i want and boot into the harddisk?
[18:10] <meenu> wrapster: No need to reinstall
 waht i can address u is
[18:10] <hdon> wrapster: i'm sorry that i can't be of a lot of help right now. i found that URL via google. it looks like it demonstrates how to resize your partitions and the filesystems on those partitions without losing any data, so that you will not need to reinstall.
[18:11] <omkar> when u installed an linux system that time  u should have disabled the other harddrive
[18:11] <wrapster> ok
[18:11] <ricknix> does anyone here know about udev?
[18:11] <guntbert> !u | omkar
[18:11] <wrapster> meenu: could you please help me?
[18:11] <P67> How do i repair my LVM2 system, it's unable to boot and the vmlinuz doesn't seem to include the flags to boot
[18:11] <wrapster> hdon: thanks for that
[18:11] <omkar> sorry guntbert
[18:11] <hdon> wrapster: good luck. can be scary being that close to blowing away your entire system!
[18:12] <guntbert> omkar: just a reminder - thank you for your understanding :-)
[18:12] <wrapster> meenu: would like to know if i can just start off increasing the size to my liking and boot into the HD to see changes?
[18:12] <omkar> okay so what you should have done is ....disabled your internal harddrive before installing a Ubuntu on your external system
[18:12] <t0rc> im running ubuntu server on a headless machine; do I have to login to a user account before it starts applications, like SSHD and such? or is it fine just sitting at the login screen?
[18:12] <jelly-bean11> how can i tell what dns servers are being handed out by dhcp from a linux terminal?
[18:12] <wrapster> hdon: thanks for the advice... only hope i wont screw it up.. seriously...
[18:12] <guntbert> t0rc: it should be fine sitting there
[18:12] <t0rc> hmm....
[18:13] <Rhetorical> omkar:  I have already installed Ubuntu, so knowing what I should have done isn't much help.  I would prefer to know what I can do now
[18:13] <t0rc> interesting...
[18:13] <omkar> like after that u could have just enabled the windows harddisk (internal one).... isn't it simple? :)
[18:13] <genii> jelly-bean11: They're usually in your /etc/resolv.conf file (on the dhcp client box)
[18:13] <t0rc> guntbert, cause I can't access it. rawr.
[18:13] <omkar> see currently ur bootloader is grub right
[18:13] <Rhetorical> Yes
[18:13] <zane> dose any one have any experience getting the media keys on a laptop working? EX: the volume buttons.
[18:13] <omkar> n grub would obviously given error as it would search for ur external hdd
[18:14] <guntbert> t0rc: I suppose its more a vbox question - but what networking mode did you choose?
[18:14] <omkar> which woudn't be connected
[18:14] <Rhetorical> Yes, I understand that
[18:14] <MasterofPuppets> zane: Unless you can find a proprietary driver, no, it's not possible
[18:14] <IpSe_DiXiT> does anyone use pidgin? if yes, why can't i add new buddies? thanks

[18:14] <omkar> I am interested in ur question too my friend but from other point of view it doesn't make sense....
[18:14] <t0rc> guntbert, welllllll it was disconnected at the time so I chose do not configure. I figured it would configure it for DHCP automagically like the desktop version.
[18:14] <MAAAAD> Is there working ical package for karmic?
[18:15] <omkar> sorry my bad language again
[18:15] <omkar> would try to use you
[18:15] <guntbert> t0rc: dhcp yes, but I was asking about the VBox networking mode
[18:15] <chaitu_> omkar: He is just trying to get things right. Guess saying what he could have done isnt going to help him much

[18:17] <MAAAAD> ActionJacks_: apple's caldav server
[18:17] <chaitu_> Rhetorical: Does it boot windows??

[18:17] <Rhetorical> Yes, using GRUB
[18:17] <siropio> at chown 2 sais about how to cahnge the privilages of a file/dir ? because at man chown didnt
[18:17] <omkar> now u can do one thing is
[18:17] <t0rc> guntbert, i just mean it does not have a monitor
[18:17] <omkar> fixmbr from windows Xp cd
[18:17] <Hetor`> LuciusMare: tried ~/.skype?
[18:18] <omkar> n then disabled that hard disk (internal one) n then disable that once ur windows is working fine
[18:18] <IpSe_DiXiT> does anyone use pidgin? if yes, why can't i add new buddies? thanks
[18:18] <WitmoT> ?
[18:18] <wrapster> please pray for me!!
[18:18] <ron-l-j> Rhetorical you are going to have to get to know the windows command line and the registry do you have any experience with it ?
[18:18] <omkar> n then connect ur ubuntu one n install grub again
[18:18] <omkar> simple
[18:18] <omkar> :)
[18:18] <Rhetorical> Yes.
[18:18] <chaitu_> Rhetorical: Correct me if am wrong here, You are able to boot windows..its just that GRUB gives you a error every time your system starts?
[18:18] <LuciusMare> Hetor`: no such directory
[18:18] <t0rc> Rhetorical, remove your external hdd, put the windows CD in and do the startup files repair. Then when you want to boot into linux, you should either reinstall GRUB on the external (making sure that it installs to the boot sector of the external (clicking Advanced... lets you do this at install time)). Then set your BIOS to boot Removable Drives first. You cannot add Linux to the Windows boot selector.
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> !info calendarserver
[18:18] <Rhetorical> GRUB is on the external hard drive.
[18:18] <omkar> yes t0rc is right
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> MAAAAD: calendarserveralendarserv1ooks the ticket
[18:18] <Rhetorical> I can only boot if the external drive is plugged in
[18:18] <neuro666> #ubuntu-fr
[18:18] <Rhetorical> If not, I get an error
[18:19] <omkar> but rhetorical
[18:19] <omkar> i guess try this thing
[18:19] <ron-l-j> I would not call it an erro you just arrow down to othere operationg system and it will boot windows
[18:19] <MAAAAD> ActionParsnip: it still is broken
[18:19] <guntbert> t0rc: of course :-) forget my Virtualization questions - but about the services started - maybe better ask in #ubuntu-server, I'm not sure if openssh is activated by default
[18:19] <omkar> 1stly boot from windows cd in to the internal hard drive
[18:19] <siropio> siropio@******:~$ man 2 chown
[18:19] <siropio> No manual entry for chown in section 2
[18:19] <siropio> See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
[18:19] <omkar> don't connect the external one
[18:19] <vistro> It's not the card. It's the computer. This machine won't work with any wireless card. Why?
[18:19] <t0rc> guntbert, oh hah. Didn't realize that channel existed. :) thanks
[18:19] <t0rc> Rhetorical, read my comment above.
[18:20] <guntbert> t0rc: Good luck :-)
[18:20] <ricknix> my pc freezes right as udev is working, does anyone know what I should do to fiix this?
[18:20] <omkar> let it boot from windows cd n then from first repair option just press r n select the windows partition to repair n then just type fixmbr
[18:20] <t0rc> guntbert, heh. =)
[18:20] <ricknix> ???
[18:20] <omkar> which will overwrite the actual mbr
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> MAAAAD: thats all i know, maybe groupwise offers a central point for calendar stuffs
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> the grub menu/config/support files are on the external hd.  It would be best to also have grub on the MBR of the HD. and let it boot from the external HD. leaving the windows drive alone and with the windows boot loader.   You could then set what drive toboot via the bios/menus/ or chain load withthe windows bootmenu tools peraps?
[18:20] <Rhetorical> t0rc.  Okay.  How do I install GRUB on the external drive?  Do O have to do a complete reinstall of Ubuntu?
[18:20] <Rhetorical> I
[18:20] <ron-l-j> You have to point Grub to the the windows partition
[18:20] <guntbert> !who | omkar (another reminder)
[18:20] <omkar> ok
[18:21] <omkar> :)
[18:21] <vistro> Why does my desktop running Ubuntu refuse to use any wireless card, be it USB or PCI?
[18:21] <MAAAAD> ActionParsnip: it is but I am looking for an oss solution
[18:22] <Rhetorical> Dr. Willis:  I want to boot without the external drive plugged in
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> Rhetorical:  with no drive plugged in - You are just going to be using windows.. so let windows boot itself.. then with it plugged let the system boot from the  external drive  to boot the linux  system, (it can also have a menu item  to go to windows)
[18:23] <LuciusMare> Does anybody know where does linxu version of skype store it's logs?
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> Rhetorical:  the main issue will be keeping grub from trying to install to the  internal hd when you use update grub. but that may not be a problem if the system actually boots from the exteranl hd.
[18:24] <bradpitt> hi.. how can i install phonon from svn?
[18:24] <wrapster> thanks guys.. held my breath.. and it worked...
[18:24] <marqy> hello. i just upgraded to karmic and i am having problems with the fglrx ati drivers: i cannot get x up at all.  i don't know how to set my display driver to something standard from the safe mode terminal. any helpful ideas? cheers
[18:24] <Rhetorical> Dr Willis:  Okay.
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> LuciusMare:  in the users home dir somewhere.  explore the  hidden files/directories perhaps?
[18:24] <ron-l-j> HAVE you updated grub sudo grub update
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> Wow - I just counted - i have 5 external usb hard drives on this machine. :)
[18:25] <t0rc> Rhetorical, if you're going to install grub on the external well, hrmm. You're best bet would be to put in the Live CD and then install grub from the terminal to your external drive./
[18:25] <Rhetorical> t0rc:  How would I go about doing that?
[18:25] <ron-l-j> You can edit the grub boot loader with gedit boot/grub/menu.list
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> ron-l-j:  if hes using grub1 :) i missed what one hes using.
[18:25] <ron-l-j> Roger that :D
[18:26] <Rhetorical> I'm using which ever one comes with the Live CD for 9.10
[18:26] <Rhetorical> Not sure which one that would be
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> Rhetorical:  a clean/new install of 9.10 uses grub2
[18:26] <t0rc> Rhetorical, GRUB 2
[18:26] <Andycas> I used "enchance contrast" in login screen and that screwed up my login screen theme, how do i get it back? 9.10 in VMware workstation
[18:26] <t0rc> speaking of which, where do we edit the menu for GRUB 2?

[18:28] <Dr_Willis> You can instgall grub2 to the external hd  via a command similer to -->  sudo grub-install /dev/sdX

[18:33] <carpediem> AJC_Z0: if you are using Compiz, its a preference
[18:33] <ron-l-j> hi almousaileekh
[18:34] <AJC_Z0> carpediem: Forgot to mention that small detail. Thanks, I'll hunt it down
[18:34] <ron-l-j> crohakon pages look different in IE and in deferent versions in ie as well IE is developer hell :D
[18:34] <rcmaehl_linux> YAY! I haz DOS on ubuntu!
[18:35] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, can you ping your Windows pc?
[18:35] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, yes
[18:35] <Rhetorical> Okay, now what do I need to do to install GRUB onto my external drive and unistall it from my internal drive?
[18:35] <trism> Paschu: if you're trying to add it to your desktop there is an option in gconf-editor to show it with the key /app/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible
[18:37] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, but not connect to shared folders
[18:37] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf, a few lines in you'll see a line that says workgroup=WORKGROUP, substitute your WORKGROUP name there, then sudo service samba restart, and try again.
[18:37] <crohakon> ron-l-j, yeah, no kidding. I want to through a rock at a IE engineer right now.
[18:37] <Guest45549> test
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> !test | Guest45549
[18:38] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, then workgroup should be the windows work group?
[18:39] <ron-l-j> crohakon My sis is a pro developer for watson whyatt and she spends most of her time fixing her code to work wiwth old and new versions of IE
[18:39] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, correct, also netbios takes a bit to "reconsile" or broadcast, so give it a minite or two once you restart.

[18:40] <leemp> Anyone know of a good newbie linux book? Preferably, one that applies more specifically to the Ubuntu file structures (minor differences, i know) and etc?
[18:40] <leemp> I mean, i know there are books, i'm more curious in personal recommendations :)
[18:40] <zopiac> Im trying to compile a programme from source (am quite new to it) and i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329600/ I have done cd /path/to/source and ./configure, which worked fine, but make gave me this output...

[18:41] <Rhetorical> How do I uninstall GRUB from my internal hard drive and install it onto my external hard drive?
[18:41] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, it says something like "could not get share list from server" when i try to connect from "network"
[18:41] <lockd> xvine, if your CPU supports 64-bit, you have to run a 64-bit OS before you can run 64-bit virtual machines, AND have VT-x or whatever enabled
[18:41] <carpediem> AJC_Z0: sure.  Hope you were using compizconfig-settings-manager.  Wish Ubuntu installed it by default.
[18:41] <lockd> xvine, at least I think you need 64-bit host
[18:42] <zerq> any linux book I've bought has been outdated 3 months later ;/
[18:42] <zerq> now i stick to the online docs and forums / irc hehe
[18:42] <zerq> maybe ubuntu for dummies or something?
[18:42] <zerq> i'm not even sure if there is one.. but that series is usually a really good beginner's guide
[18:42] <Rhetorical> How do I uninstall GRUB from my internal hard drive and install it onto my external hard drive?
[18:42] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, in a terminal type sudo smbtree, give it you pw, and see what you get...
[18:43] <natrixnatrix89> is there a command that i could run would tell me some info about whats connected to /dev/ttyS0 ?
[18:43] <carpediem> dumping ubotto's internal memory would probably make a good Ubuntu book.
[18:43] <poutine> zerq, quit learning about specific distributions, and start learning universal stuff, your knowledge should not be outdated after a few months, I'm still using the same fundamentals I was in the early 90s, and I'm sure others have been doing it longer
[18:43] <AJC_Z0> carpediem: I was. SCCSM in on my must-post-install list
[18:43] <ron-l-j> rhetorical use grub install /dev/???  where the questions marks are your external drive like hd0 or sda1 ect. ect.
[18:43] <meenu> Rhetorical: grub-install command to install GRUB on external harddrive
[18:43] <AJC_Z0> ..which I think should be installed with compiz by default
[18:43] <ron-l-j> grub-install thanks
[18:44] <Rhetorical> ron-l-j:  How do I find the drive name?
[18:44] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, nothing, it asks for both my sudo pw and root pw and then nada
[18:44] <meenu> fdisk -l will list all hard drives
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> AJC_Z0: if you install compizconfig-settings-manager it will install compiz too
[18:44] <natrixnatrix89> how can i get more info about /dev/??? Is there a command for that?
[18:44] <zerq> poutine: the fundamentals are still there, but a lot of stuff changes from distro to distro, release to release, desktop-wise especially
[18:44] <meenu> using this you can find the harddrive name
[18:44] <ron-l-j> yes fdisk -l
[18:44] <Mike_lifeguard> Is it possible to dual-boot mac & ubuntu? Do I need to get specific mac hardware?
[18:45] <guntbert> meenu: you'll need sudo fdisk -l
[18:45] <meenu> Mike: Its possible to dualboot mac and ubuntu
[18:45] <ron-l-j> Mac hardware no
[18:45] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, in a terminal type sudo iptables -L, and pastebin the result please
[18:45] <ron-l-j> you can run osx on anything
[18:45] <Absenth> Mike_lifeguard: running OSX requires a Macintosh computer to stay within Apples Licensing.
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Mike_lifeguard: sure provided its on mac hardware to satisfy the license
[18:45] <Mike_lifeguard> Absenth, ActionParsnip: Yes, of course.
[18:45] <carpediem> AJC_Z0: not a big fan of SCCSM, tend to prefer compizconfig-settings-manager.  Maybe it's improved since last I tried it.
[18:45] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, give me a few minutes, I'll brb...
[18:45] <natrixnatrix89> If I have plugged in a usb>serial adapter.. How can I know it works?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Mike_lifeguard: so yes, you need mac hardware, in fact a mac system
[18:46] <natrixnatrix89> and how can I find out where did it make the /dev/??
[18:46] <SwedeMike> natrixnatrix89: dmesg and see if it's recognised, gtkterm to talk to it on /dev/ttyUSB0
[18:46] <Rhetorical> ron-l-j:  Which partition of the drive do I install it on?
[18:46] <natrixnatrix89> Thanks!
[18:46] <xvine>    
[18:46] <Mike_lifeguard> ActionParsnip: Sure, but I meant "any specific /mac/ hardware" :)
[18:46] <Rhetorical> The linux, extended, or swap?
[18:46] <vistro> \
[18:46] <zerq> it's possible to run OS X on many non-mac machines.. but I don't think we're allowed to talk about that on "free"node ;X
[18:46] <meenu> Rhetorical: for installing grub, you dont need to select partition
[18:47] <ron-l-j>  the Linux
[18:47] <Andycas> My login screen is just 800x600, how do i increase the resoltution? Theres no xorg.conf either

[18:47] <noren> hi there, how to get the file list included in the ubuntu-desktop
[18:47] <carpediem> Andycas: your login scren is, not your desktop once logged in?
[18:47] <Ghoster> I'm trying to install 2 video cards in ubuntu all the same monitors 3 x 19" Samsungs. The first card is an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 which starts right away on both monitors. The Second is a ATI Card so I can run the third but I can't get it to show anything even though Ubuntu sees it in the hardware and drivers setup and lspci -a can see both cards as well ??? PLEASE HELP...
[18:47] <Mike_lifeguard> ActionParsnip: And you just repartition and install like on any other computer?
[18:47] <ron-l-j>  grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda
[18:48] <Nalleman_> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/329604/
[18:48] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, back :) thanks
[18:48] <Andycas> carpediem, yes. Desktop resoltuion is 1440x900 after Ive logged in, but login is something like 800x600
[18:48] <ron-l-j> rhetorical replace hda with your drive letter
[18:48] <zopiac> Im trying to compile a programme from source (am quite new to it) and i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329600/ I have done cd /path/to/source and ./configure, which worked fine, but make gave me the above output...
[18:48] <noren> !package

[18:49] <Rhetorical> .
[18:49] <meanburrito920_> is there an easy way to associate other folders with ubuntu one without having the folders located under ubuntu one?

[18:49] <Absenth> can someone who's familiar with iSCSI, both initiator and target sides, take a look at: http://pastie.org/717380
[18:50] <zopiac> guntbert: didnt help at all :\
[18:50] <ron-l-j> rand is a random number generator and it is expecting and argument the argument is missing
[18:50] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, http://paste.ubuntu.com/329604
[18:50] <Absenth> I'm running into a problem where when I fire up /etc/init.d/open-iscsi on the initiator, It talks to the server, but doesn't seem to mount the remote drive to any /dev/ devices.
[18:51] <lockd> Mike_lifeguard, I /thought/ you had to have an EFI port of Grub or LILO, but apparently Mac systems just emulate a bios now so that Windows can run on them
[18:51] <zopiac> guntbert: the link tells you how to troubleshoot problems with ./configure, but not make. there it just says 'if all goes well'
[18:51] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, ok so it's not that...and you can ping the windows box...what windows ver?
[18:51] <Absenth> Mike_lifeguard: see a program called "refit" to simplify life immensely.
[18:51] <noren> any idea how to get the list of default packages list for ubuntu-desktop
[18:51] <Mike_lifeguard> lockd: I don't really understand the significance of what you said :\
[18:51] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, xp
[18:52] <guntbert> zopiac: first question: are you certain you need to compile it yourself?
[18:52] <zopiac> guntbert: yes
[18:52] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, honestly, that function should work out of the box...What else have you tried in order to connect?
[18:52] <murlidhar> when i click on the network-manager applet i get a message " Network Manager is not running " .... but i am able to use internet now ...is there anyting i missed ?
[18:52] <lockd> Mike_lifeguard, you have to use Boot Camp, if you don't want to install a special boot loader
[18:53] <ron-l-j> Rhetorical sudo grub-install
[18:53] <lockd> Mike_lifeguard, chances are you should just use that anyway, it's a lot easier
[18:53] <Mike_lifeguard> lockd: I don't mind using grub2, unless there's some reason not to.
[18:53] <AJC_Z0> carpediem: I like it because it fits where it belongs, i.e. in the Appearance app, and safely covers most of the pretty and fancy stuff which users like to enable. CCSM is way more complex, has more confusing choices and foot-shooting options (and no obvious ways to unshoot, unlike SCCSM))
[18:53] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, a lot... and it worked out of the box in the first place but then i tried to mount it in different ways and since then its broken...
[18:54] <ron-l-j> rhetorical the grub manual page is here   http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall
[18:54] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, try telnet {ip of winbox} 445, see what happens...
[18:54] <ron-l-j> rhetorical that can explain it faster than I can
[18:54] <guntbert> zopiac: to me it looks like there is an error in the sources - so please ask the author
[18:54] <geev> Help i get this error when i run Synaptic Update Manager "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic --dist-upgrade-mode --non-interactive --hide-main-window -o Synaptic::AskRelated=true as user root.Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
[18:55] <meenu> Good download manager for ubuntu. Where I can schedule downloads
[18:55] <zopiac> guntbert: well the author has put the programme on hiatus and is unavailable. It supposedly works fine, last time he checked it
[18:55] <guntbert> geev: don't run it as user root - use sudo
[18:55] <ron-l-j> gunbert is right it is a package issue. random number generators need to be seeded or set an inital value to start with
[18:55] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, it says "trying xx.xx.xx.xx ....."

[18:56] <claw6> i should part this channel xD
[18:56] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_ tells me that GRE isn't working on winbox. restart it and try again, make sure your shares are set up correctly as well.

[18:57] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, what is GRE?

[18:57] <dom96> ok, i just messed up my ubuntu A LOT, i went into recovery mode of Win XP, and did fixboot, and now i can't boot my ubuntu, and the live cd can't see that partition, what can i do ?
[18:57] <geev> guntbert: am running using update manager not terminal
[18:58] <ron-l-j> dom you are doing it rigth with the live cd there is an easy way to fix it
[18:58] <freinhard> hi!
[18:58] <jadakren> !grub
[18:58] <freinhard> are there opensync 0.39 packages in some ppa?
[18:58] <dom96> ron-l-j, how ?
[18:58] <bishop_> hey
[18:58] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, (oops) I'd have to look that up, it has to do with windows :(, but if that port is not available you won't connect
[18:58] <guntbert> !gksudo | geev
[18:58] <jadakren> dom96 : see above re: grub
[18:59] <dom96> jadakren, what does this have to do with grub ?
[18:59] <ron-l-j> dom click on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/329613/
[18:59] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, check your win shares, and or restart xp and try again.
[19:00] <Nalleman_> but i restarted many times. it doesnt work.
[19:00] <bishop_> bbak
[19:00] <dom96> ron-l-j: ok, thanks, i just hope it won't mess up my comp more, cause i already messed it up pretyty much enough
[19:01] <ron-l-j> dom96 you have a live cd you cant mess that up so you allways have a working computer
[19:01] <jadakren> dom96, you talked about fixboot and ron just gave you the same pathways that you would of gleaned by reading the !grub message
[19:01] <ShaMun> Why Ubuntu? not Fedora (for performance issues) ?
[19:01] <trism> freinhard: this? https://launchpad.net/~debian-opensync/+archive/ppa
[19:01] <guntbert> !ot | ShaMun
[19:01] <geev> guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329615/
[19:02] <geev> guntbert: the some error
[19:02] <dom96> jadakren, ron-l-j just to clarify, in case you misunderstood me, whenever i boot ubuntu i get an error after 'Waiting for root file system' something about that it can't mount /dev/disk/...numbers...here
[19:03] <dom96> will that fix that problem, and will my ubuntu be usable as always
[19:03] <dom96> ?
[19:03] <guntbert> geev: ok aptitude needs sudo not gksudo :-) but your real problem is clearly stated: No space left on device

[19:04] <nicola> vabbè cià
[19:05] <dom96> jadakren: well i just selected manual partitons
[19:05] <jadakren> dom96, bios is looking for pointers to a partition that is bootable, the windows fixboot you used messed it up therefore there is none for the system to find and use. rons steps will restore them
[19:05] <dom96> i'm scared that i will mess up something more
[19:05] <ron-l-j> yes your grub cant see /    witch is your root filesystem
[19:05] <dom96> ron-l-j: ok thanks a lot
[19:05] <usser_> anybody knows about dhcpd setup?
[19:06] <om26er> !anybody | usser_
[19:06] <gOLDfeesh> I was wondering installing KDE apps in a Gnome environment, is that bad? I want to check out Keden Live, but it's a KDE app.
[19:06] <dom96> ron-l-j, i have a very big favour to ask of you, could you help me through PM, cause i really don't want to mess this up ?
[19:06] <ShaMun> Where can i get ubuntu (all in iso, not seperate workstation and server).
[19:06] <om26er> gOLDfeesh: no problem
[19:06] <guntbert> !download | ShaMun
[19:06] <ShaMun> thank u guntbert
[19:07] <usser_> right so my problem is i setup a dhcp server with range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 initially, later on i changed the range to 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.199 but the dhcp server still gives out ips starting 192.168.1.100
[19:07] <guntbert> ShaMun: have fun
[19:07] <om26er> ShaMun: i think that's not available what you want
[19:07] <dAlfa89_> ShaMun: The only differences between the types of Ubuntu are the default installed packages, so no matter what you get, you'll be able to customise it to your needs
[19:08] <genii> dAlfa89_: There are other differences in the -server kernels, but never mind
[19:08] <xvine> when will be available   kde 4.3.3  in  ubuntu  packet's
[19:08] <guntbert> !latest | xvine
[19:08] <dom96> ron-l-j, i'm on step 4 i think, i'm not sure, what to do
[19:08] <greezmunkey> usser_, what are you runnung the dhcp server on, ubuntu?
[19:08] <dAlfa89_> genii: There are?  o.o
[19:09] <zaapiel> i updated my kernel and now x11 wont start
[19:09] <zaapiel> is there a command to rebuild the driver?
[19:09] <usser_> greezmunkey, its a 64 bit karmic server
[19:09] <om26er> zaapiel: which version? and from where.
[19:09] <greezmunkey> usser_, did you restart dhcpd?
[19:09] <ShaMun> dAlfa89_, om26er: ok. (i just want to play with it this weekend and avoid using Fedora i am tired a bit installing dovecot/smtp tail/ bla bla..., nothing still found organised ) maybe ubuntu.
[19:09] <zaapiel> official version
[19:09] <zaapiel> it was just an update in synaptic
[19:09] <usser_> greezmunkey, yep, even restarted the server itself a number of times
[19:09] <zaapiel> i use the nvidia driver though and it needs to be rebuilt i guess
[19:09] <ron-l-j> dom ok
[19:09] <zaapiel> not sure how to do so
[19:10] <zaapiel> im in a command line enviroment now
[19:10] <om26er> !enter | zaapiel
[19:10] <usser_> greezmunkey, see i dont have that many machines to test out what will happen if it runs out of leases from 100-199 range.
[19:10] <freinhard> trism: that ppa contains opensync 0.22 packages, thats the current stable version and karmic ships them too. so, no benefit from that ppa :(
[19:10] <greezmunkey> usser_, did you flush your leases, I assume you tested from a pc that already got an address from dhcpd...
[19:10] <om26er> zaapiel: purhe the new kernel
[19:10] <ron-l-j> the live cd will mount your partitions for you you need to use the advanced option in the installer
[19:10] <om26er> zaapiel: purge the new kernel you just install and reboot
[19:10] <usser_> greezmunkey, flush the leases on a client?
[19:10] <dom96> ron-l-j: ok i'm there
[19:10] <ron-l-j> then just select your partitions
[19:10] <zaapiel> i want the new kernel
[19:10] <icehawk78_> I realize this might not be the right place to ask, but I'll try anyways. I have an Ubuntu 9.10 server with samba, ftp and ssh (among other services) installed. My main personal computer is a laptop running Windows 7. When I'm on my home network, I can map my samba shares to a drive letter in Windows. Is there a known way to do this when I'm not on my LAN? I have the ftp loaded as a "network location" but I can't seem to load it a
[19:11] <dom96> ron-l-j, which one do i select ?
[19:11] <ron-l-j> but do not format them and click finish
[19:11] <trism> freinhard: sorry, didn't notice the version
[19:11] <greezmunkey> usser_, that lease is MAC based, the MAC is stored, and dhcpd will continue to hand out the same IP unless the lease is gone!
[19:11] <dom96> ron-l-j, just select the one where i have Ubuntu ?
[19:11] <ron-l-j> how many hard drives do you have ?
[19:11] <dom96> two
[19:11] <ron-l-j> yes just the ubuntu partitions
[19:11] <zaapiel> I just want to rebuild my nvidia driver so it works with the new kernel, how do i do that from a command line? isnt there a way to rebuild all apps that need it after a kernel upgrade?
[19:11] <xvine>        ////////////
[19:11] <dom96> ron-l-j: and then click forward ?
[19:11] <usser_> greezmunkey, aah. i see. is it on the client or the server though?
[19:11] <greezmunkey> usser_, no the leases are tracked by dhcpd!
[19:12] <usser_> greezmunkey, is that it /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases?
[19:12] <ron-l-j> yes double checking the little format check boxes are not checked
[19:12] <greezmunkey> usser_, probably
[19:12] <dom96> ron-l-j, it says 'No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu'
[19:12] <natrixnatrix89> how do I generate a md5 password?
[19:12] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, im trying to reinstall ubuntu now...
[19:12] <usser_> greezmunkey, yep i think it is. is it safe to just delete that file?
[19:12] <Nalleman_>  :)
[19:12] <ron-l-j> yes you have to mark your first ubuntu partition as /
[19:13] <dom96> ron-l-j, how ?, do i select it and click change ?
[19:13] <greezmunkey> usser_, I wouldn't, man dhcpd to see if there is a command that you can use to flush the leases first.
[19:13] <dom96> ron-l-j, and then ?
[19:13] <ShaMun> Ubuntu support this? ( This server hardware: HP Proliant ML330 G3 - SCSI/RAID - HP Smart Array controller 652 ) , Today i just not able to Fedora12 ( because Smart array no driver available ).
[19:13] <ron-l-j> yes exactly
[19:13] <usser_> greezmunkey, got it. Thanks a lot!
[19:14] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, that seems a bit extreme, did you break it?
[19:14] <ron-l-j> then define the partition
[19:14] <dom96> ron-l-j, make it Use as "Ext4 journaling file system", mount point /
[19:14] <dom96> ?
[19:14] <greezmunkey> usser_, np :)
[19:14] <ron-l-j> yes exactly
[19:14] <ron-l-j> :D
[19:14] <natrixnatrix89> !md5
[19:14] <ron-l-j> do not format the partition
[19:14] <ron-l-j> :D
[19:14] <usser_> greezmunkey, i just deleted the file, and put an empty one in its place, worked like a charm. thank you
[19:15] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, i allmost had a fresh install anyway, i have to copy my backup and then im redy to rock again!
[19:15] <greezmunkey> usser_, while you ar "doinking" around with dhcpd, check into setting reservations, they are a good thing...
[19:15] <dom96> ron-l-j: ok it says some crap about it not being formatted, and that /usr /etc etc.:P will be overwritten
[19:15] <dom96> do i continue ?
[19:15] <dom96> and will it delete my /home ?
[19:16] <ron-l-j> That is what you want continue
[19:16] <ShaMun> Where can i find which processors/platforms/architectures are suppose to be supported by Ubuntu in detail, before crashing my server.
[19:16] <suweid> Hello ubunti! when I attempt to install ubuntu on my Z400 HP workstation, it starts booting (even displays a very pretty white logo) and then the screen goes black, and never recovers (this is an estimation of ever - I waited well over a minute) ... What should I do?
[19:16] <dom96> ron-l-j:will it delete /home ?
[19:17] <ron-l-j> it will not becase you are not formatting the drive think of it is a gost write
[19:17] <dom96> ron-l-j: ok good
[19:17]  * dom96 clicks continue then
[19:17] <ron-l-j> you never finish it and just go to install grub'
[19:17] <om26er_> suweid: try a usb boot. and also md5 you image
[19:17] <paperazzami> Hi
[19:17] <greezmunkey> usser_, most of the time you could probably get away with that, but unless you know that a service only write info in one place, I'd be checking the man pages before you "pull the rug out from under" one in the future.
[19:17] <paperazzami> I have a question
[19:17] <om26er_> !hi | paperazzami
[19:17] <dom96> ron-l-j, so it doesn't really matter what username i give it etc.?
[19:18] <paperazzami> Is there iTunes for ubuntu?
[19:18] <dom96> (i'll give it what it was anyway, just asking...)
[19:18] <freinhard> paperazzami: yeah, it's called amarok ;)
[19:18] <paperazzami> No, i really want iTunes
[19:18] <om26er_> paperazzami: no
[19:18] <paperazzami> Or maybe another program that has exactly the same functions
[19:18] <ron-l-j> dom96 you get a bunch of errors  and you continue till you get to the install menu
[19:19] <arand> !itunet | paperazzami
[19:19] <ron-l-j> dom then you jump down to the install list to install grub
[19:19] <paperazzami> My roommates all share music with eachother using iTunes
[19:19] <arand> !itunes > paperazzami
[19:19] <suweid> om26er, That sounds like a perfect waste of time. Firstly, I'm installing with WUBI. And lastly, even if there would be a CRC error, by now the kernel has loaded and should be able to handle it with a milder for of retort, than just empty black screen. Maybe it's something to do with my video card, it's an nvidia quadro?
[19:19] <dom96> ron-l-j, it says that it will format swap is that fine ?
[19:19] <greezmunkey> suweid, you on a laptop?
[19:20] <paperazzami> Can anyone help me?
[19:20] <suweid> Z400 workstation
[19:20] <ron-l-j> as long as you selected swap as swap
[19:20] <paperazzami> i have installed ubuntu on  my home server
[19:20] <suweid> It's not a laptop.
[19:20] <dom96> ron-l-j: well i just left it as it was
[19:20] <paperazzami> it should be able to share music just like iTunes
[19:20] <greezmunkey> suweid, I don't know what that is :(
[19:20] <dom96> ron-l-j, the only thing i changed was the partition which has ubuntu
[19:20] <ron-l-j> if you made no changes to swap in the partioner you should be fine
[19:20] <dom96> ron-l-j, so do i click install then ?
[19:21] <greezmunkey> suweid, does it have multiple video outputs?
[19:21] <LordFDisk> Is anybody getting random Crashes with 9.10?
[19:21] <ron-l-j> yes
[19:21] <suweid> Yes. and both monitors are attached.
[19:21] <paperazzami> Hello, can anyone answer my question?
[19:21] <ron-l-j> it is only going to install grub
[19:21] <suweid> And I tried hitting ESC and "video safe mode"
[19:21] <suweid> did exactly the same thing
[19:21] <dom96> ron-l-j, ok good
[19:21] <suweid> ... ... work work ... black screen
[19:21] <ron-l-j> SWEET
[19:21] <om26er_> !anybody | LordFDisk
[19:22] <arand> paperazzami: the pm from ubottu mentions it.
[19:22] <greezmunkey> suweid, check in /etc/X11, is there an xorg.conf file?
[19:22] <paperazzami> yeah general things..
[19:22] <ron-l-j> Suweid  black screen means boot loader not found on disc
[19:22] <dom96> ron-l-j, hmm, i think it's done
[19:22] <suweid> How can I do that, when the system is not even installed?
[19:22] <icehawk78_> paperazzami: Look up "daap" - that's the protocol iTunes uses, and will allow you to both access others' libraries and share your ow
[19:22] <dom96> ron-l-j, it didn't show any errors though
[19:22] <ron-l-j> DOm cool load it up
[19:22] <paperazzami> okay thanks
[19:22] <natrixnatrix89> how do I encrypt a password? I'm asked for Admin Password (md5):
[19:22] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, a fresh install solved it.
[19:22] <natrixnatrix89> PARAMETER: ADMIN_PASSWORD, but I dont really know, how to generate one..
[19:22] <dom96> ron-l-j, the window dissapeared
[19:22] <ron-l-j> it will not show errors
[19:22] <suweid> ron-l-j, No, it means something else. I told everyone already that the installer starts pre-install warmups.
[19:22] <ron-l-j> you installed grub
[19:23] <dom96> ron-l-j, ok then rebooting
[19:23] <ibuclaw> suweid, 2 graphics cards?
[19:23] <ron-l-j> no news is good  news :D
[19:23] <suweid> ibuclaw, no, 1 - NVS 295
[19:23] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, yup...you broke it! Glad your back :)
[19:23] <ron-l-j> so black screen with cursor is ?
[19:24] <[CHN]oh250> hello
[19:24] <dom96> ron-l-j, ok i can see the ubuntu logo
[19:24] <ron-l-j> NICE DOM !
[19:24] <ZaNeIuM> how do i remove a failed deb
[19:24] <om26er_> !hello | [CHN]oh250
[19:24] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, now, how should i act not to break it... :) I want to make it into a server that can be used to back up my windows files.
[19:24] <mbeierl> I lose
[19:24] <dom96> ron-l-j, it failede
[19:24] <dom96> *failed
[19:24] <dom96> :'(
[19:24] <icehawk78_> paperazzami: A quick google search indicated that this might help, but I'm not certain - http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2004/12/streaming_itunes_from_ubuntu.html
[19:25] <ron-l-j> did it give you a prompt ???
[19:25] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, you installed samba from apt-get, is that right?
[19:25] <ibuclaw> suweid, detach one of the monitors and boot LiveCD.
[19:25] <ron-l-j> strange it should quit in the middle after it boots
[19:25] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, the last time, yes
[19:25] <paperazzami> how can i get more workspaces?
[19:25] <ron-l-j> some think is failing
[19:25] <ibuclaw> suweid, if it loads w/ screen, attach second monitor and go into Display properties.
[19:25] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, Ubuntu can be a server, OR a client, not both!
[19:25] <paperazzami> i have 2 X 2 workspaces but it doesn't open the bottom two
[19:25] <fool__> does anyone know how to connect from windows to a linux box directly through ethernet cable ?
[19:26] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, samba that is...
[19:26] <suweid> ibuclaw, okay, I will try that.
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> fool__: sure, use a crossover cable and set static IPs
[19:26] <ibuclaw> paperazzami, doesn't open? care to elaborate?
[19:26] <dom96> ron-l-j, it shows a message, 'Gave up waiting for root device.....ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/858f8d8a-4471-45c6-9e8b-..... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
[19:26] <paperazzami> well
[19:26] <Nalleman_> does that mean that installing samba breaks the connection to my windows disks?
[19:26] <fool__> ActionParsnip: exctaly how should i do that ?
[19:26] <cba123> Is there a way I can get only my drives on left part of my screen?  As in I want my drives on the left column on my desktop.
[19:26] <suweid> ibuclaw, did I mention that my primary display showed a logo before blackscreening?... I'm sure I did...
[19:26] <LordFDisk> lol I just got random crashes in 9.10 about 2 day now ... happens when I've been playing wow with wine, also trying to bring up Firefox after the 3 or 4 random crash, and also when I try to boot form when I too power it off form the puters power sup.
[19:26] <fool__> ActionParsnip: it's faster than going through router right ?
[19:26] <paperazzami> I have selected 2 collumns 2 rows in the workspace switcher
[19:26] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, that explains why you couldn't connect before!
[19:27] <ibuclaw> paperazzami, how did you set that? compiz-manager?
[19:27] <ron-l-j> Dom you are getting a shell
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> fool__: negligable
[19:27] <ron-l-j> fine
[19:27] <ron-l-j> :D
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> fool__: use network manager to set the IPs
[19:27] <Xodiac> i need help on getting fglrx working i just dont want to mess anything up i can watch movies and play some games just right but when it comes down to playing nexius it seems the texture is messing up bad its like there are missing pieces is there a fix for this
[19:27] <dom96> ron-l-j, what now :(
[19:27] <paperazzami> But when pressing ctrl + alt  + keydown, nothing happens
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> fool__: the router will make the addressing easier
[19:27] <natrixnatrix89> http://paste.ubuntu.com/329632/ This is a part of grub/menu.lst. How do I generate a --md5 password?
[19:27] <fool__> ActionParsnip: oh so not much speed difference ?
[19:27] <fool__> :/
[19:27] <paperazzami> no, just using the shortcut to the workspace switcher on the panel
[19:28] <fool__> ActionParsnip: somehow i thought direct connection would be faster
[19:28] <fool__> hmm
[19:28] <Xodiac> i have a Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[19:28] <Xodiac> and wanting to get fglrx working
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> fool__: hardly any at all, the router is a dedicated device and will route it fast. you'll get maybe an extra few kbps every minute
[19:28] <Nalleman_> ok. what i tried to do before was mounting my shared disk in ubuntu and then my plan was to sync with rsync. althoug i did not manage to mount the folders before it broke down
[19:28] <Xodiac> is this hard to get working like ati
[19:28] <ibuclaw> natrixnatrix89, just a guess ...
[19:28] <dom96> ron-l-j, ?
[19:28] <ibuclaw> natrixnatrix89, run: sudo grub
[19:28] <ron-l-j> Sence you have a /home partition and a cd\
[19:28] <paperazzami> hmm, anothe rproblem with banshee: Unable to connecto to music share
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> fool__: you'll be transferring at a decent enough speed so its negligable
[19:29] <mbeierl> anyone know how to get tab-to-complete to work for java -classpath entries?  It broke with Karmic...
[19:29] <dom96> ron-l-j, what ?
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> fool__: if yuo take the drive out and put it in the other system to transfer it will be a lot faster
[19:29] <fool__> ActionParsnip: it's like 1mBps
[19:29] <fool__> ActionParsnip: no can do lol
[19:29] <paperazzami> I have this problem with banshee right now
[19:29] <ron-l-j> Your should reinstall completely with the disk and format everything except your / home partition
[19:29] <paperazzami> it doesn't open the other playlists
[19:29] <paperazzami> or show someone else's song
[19:29] <dom96> ron-l-j, ok
[19:29] <ibuclaw> paperazzami, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:29] <dom96> ron-l-j, and i do that how ?
[19:29] <ron-l-j> you will have to re install your programs
[19:30] <paperazzami> i have that already ibuclaw
[19:30] <dom96> ron-l-j, ok that shouldn't be too much trouble
[19:30] <ibuclaw> paperazzami, then go into System->Preferences->Cmpiz
[19:30] <dom96> ron-l-j, as long as my data is there
[19:30] <dom96> and ubuntu works
[19:31] <ron-l-j> as long as you have /home you can use the live cd your data has to be saved on your /home partition
[19:31] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, do you know how to mount a shared windows  folder in ubuntu?
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> fool__: you'd get about 280Mbps
[19:31] <ron-l-j> or you can use the live cd to access the drive and copy your info out to a usb drive
[19:31] <_W_> What should I use to install Ubuntu from Windows onto a bootable USB drive without using any other boot media? I have tried putting the LiveCD image on a partition of the flash drive, but it then refuses to install to the remaining partition of that drive, as it cannot unmount the drive "to finalize partitions" (despite me not making any new partitions except marking that one as /)
[19:31] <kenshin> yo
[19:31] <Xodiac> i need help plz with my video card i dont want to mess anything up and if you could point me in the right direction i have a Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[19:31] <Xodiac> and i just want to get fglrx working i have no problem with the video card but when i play nexuiz it seems the texture is really messed up
[19:32] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, you can only do that as a samba server.
[19:32] <kenshin> how can i chk which mail server is installed on my ubuntu?
[19:32] <ron-l-j> DOm copy your important stuff to en external if your not sure about doing a manual partition
[19:32] <dom96> ron-l-j, ok then
[19:32] <ibuclaw> natrixnatrix89, when you 'sudo grub'  type in:  password --md5 yourpassword
[19:32] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, hold a sec, there's a good link for that...brb
[19:32] <ron-l-j> Backups are great they make fixing things stress free :D
[19:32] <om26er> Xodiac: and i though fglrx was ATI thing
[19:32] <kenshin> i have ubuntu 9.10
[19:32] <llutz> Nalleman_: install smbclient, smbfs (supports cifs aswell): sudo mount /server/share /mntpoint -o options
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> _W_: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/
[19:33] <dom96> ron-l-j, well i have quite a lot of movies etc. i can't backup that lol
[19:33] <natrixnatrix89> ibuclaw: nope. Just found the answer.. I searched the net and found that there are md5 generators online.. But thanks
[19:33] <dom96> ron-l-j, i'm already really stressed
[19:33] <greezmunkey> Nalleman_, here you are: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605
[19:33] <_W_> ActionParsnip, thank you
[19:33] <llutz> greezmunkey: for mounting win-shares you definetly don't need samba installed.
[19:33] <fuorviatos> Hello
[19:34] <dom96> ron-l-j, would copying my /home to another partition be allright ?
[19:34] <ron-l-j> you have your personal data the rest is just ones and zeros :D
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> _W_: np
[19:34] <greezmunkey> llutz, It sounded like he wanted to go from Winbox to Ububox though...
[19:34] <Xodiac> om26er: im not sure my video seems to be fine i had lots of problems with ati and linux but this laptop has an intel video card and i thought that all video cards had it like using the command in the terminal fglrxgears
[19:34] <dom96> ron-l-j, i don't know how to find that partition, it's not in Places
[19:34] <dom96> :(
[19:35] <roblevin> #LINUX_MX OR KILL ROB LEVIN FUCKING FREENODE DAMN RAT
[19:35] <ron-l-j> just do a manual partition with the cd but choose format when you reach the / partition
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> !caps | roblevin
[19:35] <ron-l-j> do not format the /home keep swap the same
[19:35] <roblevin> ENTER IN #LINUX_MX OR KILL ROB LEVIN FUCKING FREENODE DAMN RAT
[19:35] <mynameguy> hi people, can anyone give links for ACPI, CPU Freq and powerd for latest Core 2 duo thinkpad?
[19:35] <Nalleman_> greezmunkey, thanks!
[19:36] <CyL> How do I list the available ciphers fo use with cryptsetup?
[19:36] <ron-l-j> by formating the / partition you over writ your system and install fresh leaving the other partition alone
[19:36] <Xodiac> om26er: do you think it might just be the game messing up or do you think i should try a different game cause i tried tux racer and it works np but with the fglrx if its possible will show me if i have any problems with my video card
[19:36] <greezmunkey> !backup > Nalleman_
[19:36] <dom96> ron-l-j, but my /home is on that partition
[19:36] <dom96> ron-l-j, it's not like i have another partition for /home
[19:37] <ron-l-j> Dom if your on the cd you have to go to in and copy out
[19:37] <kenshin>  how can i chk which mail server is installed on my ubuntu?
[19:37] <dom96> ron-l-j, but how?
[19:37] <ron-l-j> open your places
[19:37] <dom96> yeah i'm there
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> kenshin: dpkg -l | grep mail | less      possibly
[19:37] <ron-l-j> and look for a disc icon
[19:37] <dom96> i can see all the ntfs partitions
[19:37] <dom96> but my ext4 one isn't there
[19:38] <mynameguy> hi people, can anyone give links for ACPI, CPU Freq and powerd for latest Core 2 duo thinkpad?
[19:38] <ron-l-j> did windows over write it ?
[19:38] <nbad57>  exit
[19:38] <NeoCicak> i have this dmesg message http://paste.ubuntu.com/329461/  ...... i'm not sure if it is ppdev or usb-3.1 that is causing my boot up time to be extremely slow
[19:38] <dom96> ron-l-j, i don't know
[19:38] <dom96> i hope not
[19:38] <kenshin> ActionParsnip, ok..
[19:38] <dom96> the installer detected it
[19:39] <ron-l-j> if you cant see it now then you will have to look in to hard drive recovery tools
[19:39] <fool__> ActionParsnip: uhm that's not an option i dont have external enclosure
[19:40] <fool__> :/
[19:40] <GeekyLink> does anyone know the name of the package for jack server?
[19:40] <beautyisatalent> hi @ all
[19:40] <dom96> ron-l-j, so windows did overwrite it...:(
[19:40] <fool__> ActionParsnip: both laptops :(
[19:40] <dom96> well then i guess i'm fucked
[19:40] <beautyisatalent> hm ijust wonder is my nick registered?
[19:40] <ron-l-j> how important was the data you had in your home folder ?   100 dollars 40 hours of work ?
[19:40] <kenshin> ActionParsnip, what am i expecting here?
[19:40] <thevor> Hey. I want to set up an ftp server so I can access some files I need that I keep on my drive at home easily from work, but I'm having trouble figuring out a good ftp server to choose. I want one that's simple to set up, does anyone know of any popular ones?
[19:40] <dom96> ron-l-j, well it wasn't like REALLY important
[19:40] <dom96> but i did put in quite a lot of work into it
[19:41] <ron-l-j> Good recovery tools charge cash
[19:41] <kenshin> it says evolution, libmailtools-perl, mime-support..
[19:41] <dom96> ron-l-j, if i could just get the desktop
[19:41] <xover> guys, my USB is locking up when copying files
[19:41] <greezmunkey> thevor, any ftp server will work, it's the security issues that you need to worry about.
[19:41] <dom96> ron-l-j, that would be enough
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> fool__: you can opem your PCs and connect the to the controllers inside, doesnt need an enclosure. Sounds like you dont play with hardware much so only do this if you are comfortable with hard drive installs
[19:42] <xover> is there anything I can check to see why its happening, its not a hardware problem on the disk side
[19:42] <beautyisatalent> ubuntu server needs identify?
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> kenshin: you will see one of the outputs show you the mail server you installed
[19:42] <llutz> thevor: consider to use sftp/ssh
[19:42] <Dravekx> Who wants Google Wave?
[19:42] <ron-l-j> open a command line and fdisk -l
[19:42] <Dravekx> I have like 2 invites left
[19:42] <iceroot> !ot | Dravekx
[19:42] <mynameguy> hi people, can anyone give links for ACPI, CPU Freq and powerd for latest Core 2 duo thinkpad?
[19:42] <kenshin> ActionParsnip, nope. it doesnt say anything like that
[19:42] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[19:42] <kenshin> i have ubuntu 9.10
[19:43] <GeekyLink> does anyone know the name of the package for jack server?
[19:43] <kenshin> nothing like email server..
[19:43] <iceroot> mynameguy: what do you want?
[19:43] <dom96> ron-l-j, then what ? it gave me some partition info
[19:43] <pbunbun> Hey, I'm using Kubuntu and basically networking isn't started until I log into KDE and KNetworkManager connects, so if I go into a different XSession or virtual terminal it won't connect to the network
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> kenshin: then one isnt installed
[19:43] <ron-l-j> can you  see your ext4 partition info ?
[19:43] <pbunbun> Is there any program I can get, or settings I can set to have network-manager auto-connect at boot?
[19:43] <mgv1> how can i recored swf audio?
[19:44] <beautyisatalent> spammer lol
[19:44] <maco> pbunbun: you can launch knetworkmanager within your other session
[19:44] <kenshin> ActionParsnip, any suggestions then?
[19:44] <kenshin> which one shud i install?
[19:44] <dom96> ron-l-j, dunno, it doesn't really say the partition type, but it says /dev/sd3 and System Linux, and i think that's it
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> pbunbun: you candefine network in /etc/network/interfaces but it will mean network manager wont be able to configure it
[19:44] <duffydack> Strange..its an Xorg bug then.. makes everything else stutter when playing flash videos in ANY browser, and even with Gnash.. I give up on karmic, too much nonsense
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> !mailserver
[19:44] <pbunbun> maco: Not if my other session is just the console, or Virtualbox :P
[19:44] <bluesscream> GeekyLink:jackd
[19:45] <greezmunkey> pbunbun, or even from command line.../etc/network/interfaces, ifup, and ifdown...
[19:45] <jelly-bean1> wher eare the iptables rules saved in ubuntu server?
[19:45] <enjalot> I´m trying to install a logitch quickcam usb webcam on 9.10, its recognized in lsusb and i have uvcvideo drivers installed but I can´t get any video out of it in camorama or luvcview. not sure what else to try
[19:45] <pbunbun> ActionParsnip: Thanks, might do that, if it's not too hard to get WPA working
[19:45] <GeekyLink> thanks bluesscream
[19:45] <ron-l-j> THATS THE ONE
[19:45] <dom96> ron-l-j, ok what now ?
[19:45] <kenshin> ActionParsnip, TY

[19:48] <dom96> ron-l-j, you know what i think this is just fucked now... i think fixboot made the partition FAT32
[19:48] <alabd> Good day everyone , how to use Gci for firefox JRE ?
[19:49] <dom96> ron-l-j, do you think i should just format it and install ubuntu ? and give up ?
[19:49] <ron-l-j> It is a folder if you mount it try sudo mount /dev/sda3
[19:49] <hollenjf> I need to install a driver in 9.1 while xserver is not running, but 9.1 seems to be very reliant on X. how can I drop to shell temporarily
[19:49] <dom96> ron-l-j, it said it's not in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[19:49] <mynameguy> how to do ACPI and Freq Scaling in Core 2 duo plese help?
[19:49] <ron-l-j> ok cat /etcfstab
[19:50] <ron-l-j> cat /ect/fstab
[19:50] <claw6> hollenjf, start new session ? ctrl+F6
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> ron-l-j: no, the mount folder is a folder, /dev/sda3 or whatever is a block device
[19:50] <christina>  I got some doubts regarding linux please clear these doubts :- point 1."Linux is more secure then Windows" >>>World's hackers just don't target Linux, that's why. If the big hackers moved their focus to Linux, it'd be unsafe too. Just like firefox, hackers looked into it and firefox's security took a free fall.<<<
[19:50] <dom96> ron-l-j, umm ok then ?
[19:50] <ron-l-j> Mount device as a folder
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> ron-l-j: you cannot cd into blok devices, they must be mounted first, you can then cd into the mount point
[19:50] <ron-l-j> everything is a file
[19:50] <dom96> ron-l-j, it just says swap and some aufs, and tmpfs
[19:51] <claw6> hollenjf, ctrl+alt+F6 default
[19:51] <ron-l-j> mount dev/sda3
[19:51] <genii> Hm, aufs
[19:51] <donavan_> IS IT REALLY BETTER THAN WINDOWS 7 I HAVE MY DOUBTS YOU CANT DO AS MUCH
[19:51] <thevor> Are you serious?
[19:51] <mynameguy> how to do ACPI and Freq Scaling in Core 2 duo plese help?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> donavan_: its only better if you theink its better
[19:51] <dom96> ron-l-j, same thing
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> donavan_: kill caps too
[19:51] <douchebag> thing is, linux is maintained by enthusiasts, windows by ordinary employes... even when security holes are  found in linux, theyre fixed almost instantly, but with windows, theres gonna be a whole production involved, pathces to be tested, released and blah blah blah, takes forever
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> donavan_: i windows suits your needs, use it, if ubuntu meets your needs closer, use it
[19:52] <thevor> Windows, in my opinion, always starts looking, and respondingly, quite amazingly, and then goes down hard.
[19:52] <thevor> ubuntu never really goes down.

[19:59] <ron-l-j> you can make a living at it
[19:59] <fool__> pronto
[19:59] <guntbert> mynameguy: start by telling us what laptop it is and what version of ubuntu
[19:59] <vistro> that card has no linux guides. The other one is a linksys USB that works just fine in my laptop, also running ubuntu. It refuses to fully connect to a network on the desktop. The desktop sees it there, and shows me a list of networks, but it can't connect to a single one
[20:00] <dom96> ron-l-j, i don't get it, the installer shows /dev/sda3 and says how much space is taken

[20:07] <Hilikus> is it possible to configure two accounts in thunderbird to work on two different folders in the same imap account?
[20:07] <AkumaATR> Hi peeps
[20:08] <giggsey> zege, thanks :)
[20:08] <[R]> Hilikus: i dont recall ever seeing an option in thunderbird to let it "work" on a folder
[20:08] <AkumaATR> Quick question -- I set my parent's PC up pretty sweetly with latest Ubuntu official release
[20:08] <AkumaATR> I've decided they can handle the switch and am ready to install it
[20:08] <iceroot> !enter | AkumaATR
[20:08] <HilBilly> f
[20:08] <AkumaATR> Will it keep all of the changes I've made so far while setting it up for them?
[20:09] <AkumaATR> Mostly desktop shortcuts
[20:09] <AkumaATR> Ah. Serry.
[20:09] <zege> giggsey: np
[20:09] <[R]> AkumaATR: what do you mean keep? thing don't just randomly delete themselves...
[20:10] <AkumaATR> Yeah... they do. When you are running from a Live CD and cut the power.
[20:10] <[R]> oh... you didnt say you were running from the cd
[20:10] <[R]> no its not going to keep any of that
[20:10] <[R]> thats the point of the cd
[20:10] <AkumaATR> You're not psychic? Hehe
[20:10] <AkumaATR> I know... I just thought maybe the desktop install option was tricky enough to keep what you were doing in current session.
[20:10] <iceroot> AkumaATR: no
[20:10] <Hilikus> i would think it does
[20:10] <Hilikus> hmmm
[20:11] <AkumaATR> I would think it might not unless told to do so somehow... as it kind of goes against the idea of the Live CD session
[20:11] <AkumaATR> Ah well. I can just write down what I've done so far.
[20:11] <AkumaATR> Thanks!
[20:11] <Cork[home]> ActionParsnip: thx, i'll try there
[20:11] <iceroot> AkumaATR: again, dont user enter so much. thank you

I'm using "gdodinet's" post from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1315438&page=4 but on step 1 (build the driver) at code "$ ./configure --prefix=/usr" i get the error "No package 'xorg-server' found No package 'xproto' found " i tried "sudo apt-get install xorg-server" but again i get error "E: Couldn't find package xorg-server"
[20:26] <toman> can someone tell me why is that ?
[20:26] <toman> i'm new to linux
[20:26] <toman> (i'm using 9.10 ubuntu)
[20:26] <maco> toman: because thats not the name of the package
[20:26] <toman> well i guess so but i dont know what should i look for ...
[20:27] <toman> i tried sudo apt-get install xorg (tab, tab, tab)
[20:27] <toman> but i dont know witch is the correct one
[20:27] <genii> !info xserver-xorg
[20:28] <abbec> i have a problem with running bzr stat on an nfs4 share... anyone that can help?
[20:28] <radtke> How we can speed up a backup (with rsync) when some source files have IO (HD have bad sectors)?
[20:28] <ethan__> quit

[20:29] <CyL> Is there a way to get the info and manual pages in eng;ish instead of my default language in ubuntu?
[20:31] <Krstnsn> whats my best option for unraring using both of my cores? i tried 7zip with the -rar package installed but it doesnt work for me.
[20:31] <toman> ok, i did this and i get "xserver-xorg is already the newest version.
[20:31] <toman> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." and i still get the same error
[20:31] <CyL> lautriv: LANG=en info shouldn't solve this issue?
[20:32] <CyL> Sorry, wrong channel
[20:32] <CyL> Is there a way to get the info and manual pages in eng;ish instead of my default language in ubuntu?
[20:32] <maco> toman: you probably need xserver-xorg-dev since youre compiling against it
[20:33] <Flannel> CyL: Looks like the -L option for locale
[20:33] <guntbert> CyL: try LANG=en_US.UTF-8 man man
[20:34] <toman> maco, tnx
[20:34] <toman> i guess i did it :)
[20:34] <Flannel> CyL: Theres a few paragraphs regarding specifics in the manpage for man.
[20:34] <toman> sorry about the lame questions, i'm very new to linux
[20:34] <Flannel> CyL: If you're just looking to get the text for a few random things, manpages.ubuntu.com might be a good alternative too
[20:34] <theomi> everyone needs to start somewhere :P
[20:36] <CyL> Flannel: thanks, but I would like to get all of my console messages in english, if possible... he console translation for my native languageis terrible
[20:36] <toman> lol, another lame question "Create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/010_tablet.rules and add that line: KERNEL=="event*",ATTRS{idVendor}=="172f",SYMLINK+="input/tablet"" how can i make a file like that ?
[20:38] <llutz> toman: sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/010_tablet.rules
[20:38] <CyL> guntbert: using LANG=en_US.UTF-8 info didn't displayed the message in english
[20:38] <chrometiger> can anyone point me to how to overcome the "error 5  input/output error" when tryine to install 9.10
[20:39] <guntbert> CyL: I never used info, but with man it works (here :-)), maybe you have to install the docu in english language
[20:41] <CyL> guntbert: thanks... well, would you recommend a book that explain linux in depth? I asked for this in #linux, and they were trying to convince me a don't need a book (use info and man instead)
[20:42] <theomi> google is good to cyl
[20:42] <Jeruvy> CyL: check out oreillys site, they have many books online you can read
[20:42] <guntbert> CyL: see !terminal and !tldp
[20:42] <CyL> Jeruvy: thanks for the tip... anyone in particular?
[20:42] <CyL> !terminal
[20:43] <CyL> !tldp
[20:43] <CyL> guntbert: thanks
[20:43] <guntbert> CyL: especially the last links in both cases :-)
[20:44] <Jeruvy> Cyl: if you seeking reviews, amazon.com would be a good reference.  I prefer more specific topics, like the bash book is really handy as a reference.

[20:48] <yoshilappi> grrr never mind answered my own quesdtion
[20:48] <theomi> :D
[20:49] <toman> i should paste this into the 010_tablet.rules or make new file ?
[20:49] <usser_> yoshilappi, for something like that i'd go with debian with some minimalistic window manager like fluxbox or openbox
[20:49] <llutz> toman: sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/010_tablet.rules

[20:50] <mark93> anyone here know if i can install ubuntuPS3 to my ps3 from a usb pendrive?
[20:50] <usser_> yoshilappi, well debian is largely the same as ubuntu.
[20:51] <aeon-ltd> yoshilappi: not sure about compatibility but have you tried moblin?
[20:51] <yoshilappi> aeon-ltd: no never heard of it
[20:51] <Flannel> yoshilappi: Use the alternate CD to isntall a system with just the command line, then you can build up a minimalistic GUI from there
[20:51] <yoshilappi> Flannel: yeah i dont like the sounds of the complexity of that option
[20:51] <aeon-ltd> yoshilappi: you should look it up, the gui is insanely simple
[20:52] <SAS> HI
[20:52] <Flannel> yoshilappi: There's not really that much complexity.  You just need to figure out what you want to install.
[20:52] <aeon-ltd> yoshilappi: depending on screen size its very child friendly

[21:03] <yoshilappi> guess i will continue my quest for nfs
[21:03] <bigjocker> chiques, try with Hardware Drivers
[21:03] <bigjocker> chiques, from the System menu
[21:03] <cb_> My USB headphones were working perfectly until I downloaded some pictures from my camera via USB. Now Ubuntu does not detect the headphones. Any idea how I fix it? (Camera is not connected any more)
[21:03] <chiques> bigjocker, OK let me check it out
[21:04] <donavan_> craig you in here
[21:04] <BrodeurPC> soreau: it says no packages found
[21:04] <soreau> BrodeurPC: Ok, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file
[21:04] <JoBe> hello all! - anybody that are familiary with GADMIN-SAMBA?, i can't add users in mine?
[21:05] <Flimm> yoshilappi: try Epidermis http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org
[21:05] <BrodeurPC> soreau: i really dont want to reformat this computer again, it will be the 6th time in one month
[21:05] <TheEpitome> donovan_: this is craig
[21:05] <yoshilappi> Flimm: well the 9.10 on my7 desktop has this cool spining speck swarm i want on my laptop but the wubi installer didnt do that
[21:06] <Flimm> yoshilappi: ah, OK, missed the context. I don't know anything wubi
[21:06] <chiques> bigjocker, All I see is this, I don't see any options for my sound http://img248.imageshack.us/i/screenshothardwaredrive.png/
[21:07] <yoshilappi> Flimm: me ntiehr first time i used it. the laptop came with vista and i didnt have a cd handy so i used a daemon to install ubuntu via wubi
[21:08] <yoshilappi> hey does nfs onkly allow comps on the same network to access eachother? i need something to let the laptop access the desktop files when i am not home
[21:08] <Um_cara_qualquer> does somebody here uses hydroxigen theme?
[21:08] <BrodeurPC> soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329714/
[21:09] <denis> 132
[21:10] <soreau> BrodeurPC: You still have pieces of fglrx installed
[21:10] <supergate> yoshilappi> Ubuntu has its ups and downs just like any other OS. I personally use it for its good qualitys and build from its bad
[21:10] <guntbert> denis:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:10] <soreau> BrodeurPC: Are you sure you did try installing the proprietary driver any other way?
[21:10] <mikobuntu> supergate +1
[21:10] <BrodeurPC> soreau: no that was the first time even messing with it
[21:10] <JoBe> anybody that knows how to clear the samba settings?
[21:11] <yoshilappi> should i use samba or nfs for remote access of the desktops files when i am not home?
[21:11] <yoshilappi> samba looks harder to configure properly but nfs looks like it only works for comps on the same network which i wont be
[21:11] <llutz> yoshilappi: sftp :)
[21:11] <supergate> I personally wouldn't use it period, but thats just me
[21:11] <BrodeurPC> soreau: 3D and compiz worked great right from the start and didnt even prompt me to add proprietary drivers
[21:11] <soreau> BrodeurPC: Well you need to remove all packages with fglrx in their name and then reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri
[21:11] <yoshilappi> llutz: whats that?
[21:12] <yoshilappi> !sftp
[21:12] <llutz> yoshilappi: based on ssh
[21:12] <LjL> yoshilappi: uh, neither really... they're both really intended to be used from within one network
[21:12] <BrodeurPC> soreau: how do i remove them
[21:12] <user__> no i co wy na to?
[21:13] <supergate> if you would like filesharing, I would suggest, using an FTP client, and FTP server.
[21:13] <yoshilappi> llutz: ok so how do i configure this?
[21:13] <supergate> they are easier to configure, and probably the most secure way of going about it
[21:13] <llutz> yoshilappi: read ssh-documentation
[21:13] <supergate> in my personal opinion anyways
[21:13] <Flannel> supergate: sftp is actually easier to configure than ftp
[21:13] <soreau> BrodeurPC: Open synaptic and search for fglrx then remove any that are installed with fglrx in the name. After that, make sure to completely reinstall the two packages I mentioned and after that, reboot
[21:13] <yoshilappi> llutz: included documentation is never clear and simple enough for me to figure out how to use something
[21:14] <llutz> supergate: calling ftp "secure" is... strange
[21:14] <yoshilappi> llutz: every time someone says read the man page and i do i wind up more confused and give up
[21:14] <ard1an> Hi do i have to config some thing on apache in this file httpd.conf ?
[21:14] <supergate> eh I guess I should have clarified
[21:14] <llutz> yoshilappi: there are millions of howtos/tuts on the net
[21:14] <lstarnes> ard1an: I think apache in ubuntu uses apache2.conf and other files under /etc/apache2/
[21:14] <BrodeurPC> soreau: sounds good thank you
[21:14] <do0ob> big thanks to all the chromium devs, its awesome :D
[21:14] <Flannel> ard1an: by default no, you don't
[21:15] <supergate> yoshilappi> have you ever heard of SSL?
[21:15] <ard1an> cause in localhost it says "It Works"
[21:15] <llutz> ard1an: apache2 uses configs under /etc/apache/available-sites
[21:15] <lstarnes> ard1an: then it is working
[21:15] <llutz> or sites-available?
[21:15] <Flannel> ard1an: right.  Just throw your stuff in /var/www
[21:15] <ard1an> aha Thanks
[21:15] <cb_> My USB headphones were working perfectly until I downloaded some pictures from my camera via USB. Now Ubuntu does not detect the headphones. Any idea how I fix it?
[21:15] <lstarnes> ard1an: you might want to check /var/www
[21:15] <yoshilappi> supergate: no this is actually my first time trying to remote access anything
[21:15] <ard1an> yes thanks
[21:15] <BrodeurPC> soreau: should i remove everything that has to do with ATI
[21:15] <llutz> supergate: thats ftps, not sftp
[21:15] <supergate> Web servers use SSL alot
[21:15] <soreau> BrodeurPC: No. Only with packages that have fglrx in their package name
[21:16] <BrodeurPC> soreau: ok
[21:16] <gerzel> I got my robot cum ray!  Ready to go today.  Robot cum ray.  I'm a jawa!
[21:16] <supergate> lets say, you are on a web site on some login page, in the top you will see https://w/e
[21:16] <owen1> i am looking for the cached multimedia files. /.mozilla/firefox-3.5/qnssmqda.default/Cache  have some files, but i can't seems to play any of them. is it the right place to look for? about:cache doesn't give me a location.
[21:16] <gerzel> Ookini!
[21:16] <gRaCiOsO> Dosn't virtualbox OSE have usb support?
[21:16] <guntbert> !ot | gerzel
[21:16] <llutz> gRaCiOsO: no
[21:16] <guntbert> gRaCiOsO: no
[21:16] <lstarnes> guntbert: not the OSE version
[21:16] <maco> gRaCiOsO: no
[21:16] <supergate> it is saying that the information you send, will be sent with encrypted data and other stuff to make it secure threw its transfer from your browser to there server
[21:16] <gerzel> oh sorry wrong channel
[21:16] <lstarnes> guntbert: oops, wrong user
[21:16] <gRaCiOsO> :(
[21:16] <lstarnes> gRaCiOsO: the official version from Sun does
[21:17] <guntbert> lstarnes: :)
[21:17] <gRaCiOsO> lstarnes,  what is the link to get it?
[21:17] <supergate> llutz>ftps would be better for him to start learning on no?
[21:17] <yoshilappi> supergate: oh cool seems i can do what i need via filezilla maybe. still not what i am looking for really but meh
[21:18] <llutz> supergate: i don't think so. ssh/sftp is easy, mostly installed in networks and secure
[21:18] <llutz> supergate: but it's just my opinion
[21:19] <hapt1K> IdleOne, thanks for your help, reviewing the manpage deeper allowed me to get done what i needed to happen. much appreciated.
[21:19] <lstarnes> gRaCiOsO: it's somewhere on http://virtualbox.org
[21:19] <gRaCiOsO> lstarnes,  thanks
[21:20] <supergate> llutz> all he would have to do, would be to set up basic preferences and security on the ftp server, which would be quicker, and give him some little experience to go by, no?
[21:21] <CalicoJack> so, I just got a 1TB my book that I am going to hook up to a linux box i've got to use as a file server.  any recommendations on what FS i should use?
[21:21] <Flannel> supergate: setting up ssh requires no funky FTP configs
[21:21] <IdleOne> hapt1K: glad I could help
[21:21] <guntbert> supergate: I agree with llutz - don't recommend ftp to an unexperienced user
[21:22] <gRaCiOsO> lstarnes,  could i transfer files from ubuntu to windows partition running under virtualbox?
[21:22] <beautyisatalent> perhaps xampp = perfect for unexperienced ones
[21:22] <supergate> meh true, but the point is to get him experienced
[21:22] <llutz> supergate: i don't like recommend people getting experience with public servers
[21:22] <michio> calicojack: i think XFS is good for high volumes of files
[21:22] <lstarnes> gRaCiOsO: I think so, but you don't need virtualbox if you're just transferring files
[21:22] <N3OInc> Howdy everybody
[21:22] <supergate> err I can see your point again, with all the exploits and shit available for them
[21:22] <llutz> supergate: imho ssh is the one, they can do less wrong ;)
[21:22] <CalicoJack> michio: thanks, i'll look into that!
[21:22] <hapt1K> IdleOne, me too :) cheers
[21:22] <llutz> ftp is tricky
[21:23] <lstarnes> gRaCiOsO: ubuntu can read from and write to NTFS partitions using ntfs-3g
[21:23] <gRaCiOsO> lstarnes,  well i need to tranfer someones from ubuntu actually im using vbox OSE
[21:23] <guntbert> supergate: by the same argument a beginner driver should start with a truck...
[21:24] <Rewt`> I'm having an issue getting Netbook Remix 9.10 installed. It hangs on step 5 of 6, when it asks for my name. I cannot input anything.
[21:24] <llutz> yoshilappi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH?action=show&redirect=SSHHowto
[21:24] <Rewt`> ..even though I can type in the terminal just fine
[21:24]  * supergate laughs at the irony of me starting with a truck when I first started to drive

[21:26] <IdleOne> !language | supergate
[21:26] <BrodeurPC> soreau: that did work, thank you very much :)

[21:27] <owen1> llutz: ~/.mozilla/firefox-3.5/qnssmqda.default/Cache  have some files, but i can't seems to play any of them. what do u think?
[21:27] <Rewt`> anyone got any advice on netbook remix install issue?
[21:27] <supergate> wha? I censored it just for that purpose
[21:27] <maco> supergate: you used the s word earlier and the a word more recently
[21:27] <llutz> owen1: no idea which format ff uses for caching data
[21:27] <eternaljoy> does MythTV work on Ubuntu?
[21:28] <Rewt`> eternaljoy: yes
[21:28] <LjL> supergate: i don't know what you're talking about, but just don't call other people names and mind your language. aside from that, the topic of this channel is Ubuntu support.
[21:28] <eternaljoy> Rewt`: what version Ubuntu is needed?
[21:28] <owen1> where are the FF cached multimedia file stored?
[21:28] <Rewt`> eternaljoy: I've used myth since 8.x
[21:28] <Rewt`> eternaljoy: apt-get install mythtv
[21:28] <paperazzami> Hi, i'm encountering a problem
[21:28] <eternaljoy> Rewt`: what exactly does MythTV allow you to do?
[21:29] <paperazzami> my volume slider is very sensitive in ubuntu
[21:29] <supergate> I get that this is for ubuntu support, I always censor my language to make it family appropriate, and we were discussing a topic on filesharing and what would be best to use for it
[21:29] <soreau> BrodeurPC: Cool, glad I could help
[21:29] <supergate> I give up..... *waves the little white flag*
[21:29] <Rewt`> eternaljoy: google it... in essence, it's much like tivo
[21:29] <paperazzami> my other keyboard tools don't work 100% too
[21:29] <eternaljoy> Rewt`: how much is prescripton?
[21:29] <Mike_lifeguard> What program can I use to edit .srt subtitle files?
[21:29] <Rewt`> eternaljoy: subscription... and it's free
[21:30] <Rewt`> eternaljoy: #mythtv  try there
[21:30] <paperazzami> Hi, anyone can help me?
[21:30] <eternaljoy> Rewt`: oops. subscription :)  I live in Sydney Australia, so it allow me to watch local TV and record the shows?
[21:30] <eternaljoy> Rewt`: ok
[21:30] <manug> Mike_lifeguard, what do you want to do with them?
[21:30] <paperazzami> I have a HP laptop and the hotkeys on my laptop don't work
[21:30] <hey_joe> i have a share, and I can create a folder on it, and dump a file, but i get errors, and the files is there, however empty.. if i want a share writable by all samba users, how would i set that in the smb.conf with samba?
[21:30] <LjL> !info gaupol > Mike_lifeguard
[21:30] <eternaljoy> !mythtv
[21:31] <supergate> Mike_lifeguard> you can use any regular text editor, I personally use nano
[21:31] <hey_joe> for instance if i drop test.txt, it is there, however empty. happens even after chmod -R 777 of the directory
[21:31] <Rewt`> brb
[21:32] <paperazzami> my HP tools don't work on the laptop
[21:32] <Mike_lifeguard> LjL: thx
[21:32] <supergate> like what kind of hotkeys
[21:33] <paperazzami> hotkeys for controlling volume
[21:33] <BrodeurPC> paperazzami: do you mean the Fn keys or special keys that are placed either in front of the laptop or above or around the keyboard?
[21:33] <jeffrey1790> im making a bash script to launch a program, it checks to see if X is running and if not then it starts... how would I make it start another command after the program is closed....
[21:33] <paperazzami> volume tool ( too sensitive) the brightness ( not working)
[21:33] <ben64_> I'm on Karmic, pulseaudio is making life difficult for me. How can I destroy it?
[21:34] <bokchoi> so, i thought ubuntu and linux are suppoesd to be so much better than windows. all it does it freeze up on me, it's worse than BSoD
[21:34] <jeffrey1790> anyone?
[21:34] <Toadsworth> bokchai: details?
[21:34] <ben64_> bokchoi, linux is better for most things, except for gaming.
[21:34] <JoBe> How can i delete files that are "protected", the system tells me that i'm not the root?
[21:35] <jeffrey1790> JoBe -> terminal, sudo -s, rm the file.
[21:35] <Iowan> JoBe: sudo?
[21:35] <duffydack> !usb
[21:35] <brutus> How do I kick out (as root) a user who's currently logged on to my system?
[21:35] <jograd> how do you know if the domain has an mx record?
[21:36] <jograd> i typed dig mx domain.com
[21:36] <jograd> and then i saw some info
[21:36] <bokchoi> ben64_: better as in crashes more? far as i can see the only thing it does better is start up faster. it's the same buggy sh*tty programs that crash all the time and my computer freezes all the time
[21:36] <JoBe> i'm not so used with the terminal commands, I haven't been using Ubuntu so long (2 days), is there  somewhere to read about the termian commands?
[21:36] <paperazzami> JoBe
[21:36] <paperazzami> there is a guide
[21:36] <jeffrey1790> google?
[21:36] <genii> brutus: use ps aux | grep username              to find their root shell/ssh and then kill it's pid
[21:36] <guntbert> jograd: dig -t mx domeain.some
[21:36] <holmser> every time I put in a blank disk in brasero it shows the available space all wrong
[21:37] <jeffrey1790> how would i execute a command after a program is closed in bash?
[21:37] <ben64_> bokchoi, Protip: If you want help, ask a question. Talking generic crap about Linux doesn't help anything.
[21:37] <holmser> for cd's it shows 139MB free, and for DVDs it shows 4GB
[21:37] <guntbert> !terminla | JoBe (last link)
[21:37] <holmser> it also burns a LOT of coasters
[21:37] <guntbert> !terminal | JoBe (last link)
[21:37] <holmser> any ideas why it would be doing this?
[21:37] <bokchoi> ben64_: just saying. i thought linux was suppoesd to be SO stable and SO MUCH BETTER than windows. far as i can tell it's the same crap OS in a different wrapper. maybe chrome will be the one... only time will tell

[21:38] <Middleman> hey how do i block microsoft-ds with iptables 445
[21:38] <guntbert> ben64_: ubuntu-desktop is only a meta package
[21:38] <hey_joe> it seems to work from the domain machines, how can i create a public share accessible from machines OFF the domain?
[21:38] <Middleman> its eating my bandwidth
[21:38] <jeffrey1790> ben64_ -> get gentoo and compile without pulseaudio lol
[21:38] <alankila> bokchoi: linux marketing meets reality.
[21:38] <bokchoi> alankila: stfu
[21:38] <JoBe> Thanx All! - Now i got a litle to read :)
[21:38] <ben64_> bokchoi, If you have a problem... ASK! Windows and Ubuntu aren't similar at all. And Chrome OS is going to be very similar to Ubuntu.

[21:38] <holmser> don't feed the trolls
[21:39] <ben64_> jeffrey1790, that doesn't help
[21:39] <paperazzami> he's just trolling..
[21:39] <Toadsworth> ben64_: I don't think Chrome OS will be similar at all IMO
[21:39] <jeffrey1790> get the source for gnome and compile
[21:39] <jeffrey1790> ?
[21:39] <bokchoi> evs
[21:39] <jograd> guntbert: i did it and saw:        ;domain.com.                      IN      MX

[21:39] <paperazzami> don't respond to fools like bokchoi
[21:39] <DiabloMan> anyone seen this? http://diablo3x.com/diablo3x-relaunched/ pretty cool!
[21:39] <jograd> is the ";" a comment out?
[21:39] <paperazzami> everyone knows linux is better ;p
[21:39] <ben64_> Toadsworth, Ubuntu people are working on Chrome.
[21:39] <jeffrey1790> oh?
[21:40] <holmser> chrome seems to be dual boot option at best
[21:40] <paperazzami> How do i get the sexy 3D cube?
[21:40] <ben64_> chrome seems to be netbook option to me
[21:40] <Toadsworth> ben64_: Yes, but Chrome is really just a browser operating system

[21:40] <guntbert> ben64_: go ahead
[21:40] <holmser> paperazzami, you need to download the compiz package, can't remember the name of it

[21:41] <Toadsworth> ben64_: Canonical is working with Google and I'm sure we'll see similarities but it will really be a step in an entirely new direction
[21:41] <ben64_> guntbert, if it deletes ubuntu, i'm coming for you :P
[21:41] <guntbert> jograd: I'd say the domain doesn't exist /have a mail exchanger

[21:41] <Middleman> what do u tpye fuck

[21:42] <ben64_> eternaljoy, without a tuner card, it will be very hard to receive any stations
[21:42] <eternaljoy> ben64 so besides MythTV I need to buy a TV tuner card?
[21:42] <holmser> yes, or at the least a video capture card
[21:43] <eternaljoy> holmser: whats a  video capture card?
[21:43] <ben64_> eternaljoy, yes. otherwise how would it get the tv signal? Since the DTV switch, I'd recommend a HD Tuner. PCHDTV makes a great linux tuner card.

[21:50] <truepurple> It seems there are alot of people here looking for help and few helpers
[21:50] <Niila> Good evening. Anyone happen to know how Apples new wireless keyboard works out with Ubuntu?
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  i dont find that true at all.
[21:50] <doleyb> What are web browsers can run ns plugins (besides firefox, konqueror, and epiphany) ?
[21:50] <truepurple> I should say, no helpers?
[21:50] <Daedro> afternoon
[21:51] <mdg> gentle nerds, start your weekend!!
[21:51] <Daedro> does anybody here run vmware on ubuntu?
[21:51] <truepurple> Well lots of people asking and noone has yet offered any answers.
[21:51] <genii> doleyb: Arora
[21:51] <ben64_> truepurple, there are, but not everyone knows everything
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  that dosent prove anything.
[21:51] <truepurple> I see
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  it is a big holiday right now also in the usa.
[21:52] <lstarnes> truepurple: what issue were you having?
[21:52] <truepurple> Rather, the day after thankgiving, which really isnt a holiday
[21:52] <ben64_> truepurple, like you want bootable flash drive, i know its possible, but i would have to tell you to google it, which i'm sure you did, and therefore i wouldn't be much help to you
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  You could also check the forums if you are having problems. S
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> But ive yet to hear your actual problem.
[21:52] <lstarnes> truepurple: it's close to a holiday
[21:52] <Daedro> bootable flash drive? theres a program thats great for that for windows...
[21:52] <ibuclaw> truepurple, it's also a Friday night - many people have a break over the weekend.
[21:52] <genii> Dr_Willis: "<truepurple> Would someone be willing to help me with some flash drive bootable issues?"
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> genii:  gee.. how specific :)
[21:53] <lstarnes> genii: that doesn't explain the exact issue
[21:53] <jackey> please help me ,chinese incorrect codes in naim
[21:53] <Daedro> truepurple: windows?
[21:54] <mrXX> will someone help me configure my internal mic please, it is ubuntu 9.10 on acer aspire
[21:54] <rogue780> I managed to lock up a console...is there a way to reset TTY2 w/o restarting my system?
[21:54] <LjL> rogue780: try typing enter, "reset", enter on it
[21:54] <truepurple> Seems to be it in a nutshell but ok, I have a sandisk 8mb flash drive SDCZ6-8192-AW11Z, I wish to know if there is a way to make Ubuntu boot off of it.
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> rogue780:  i belive you can kill the login process on tty2 with the proper commands.. but  im not sure what  process you want to kill. getty, mgetty, or somthing similer, or the users bash shell.
[21:55] <truepurple> My MoBo is a giga-71xe that does have a usb boot option of some kind
[21:55] <rogue780> LjL, negative. my cursor is just blinking still
[21:55] <DiabloMan> anyone seen this? http://diablo3x.com/diablo3x-relaunched/ pretty cool!
[21:55] <LjL> rogue780: were you running something on it?
[21:55] <ben64_> truepurple, you try unetbootin?
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:   use unetbootin, or the usb-creator-tool to make it into a bootable live-cd type setup.
[21:55] <Daedro> truepurple: i had issues with other usb creators, use Unetbootin, its great.. and hit esc during startup and boot off it, or change ur bios
[21:55] <truepurple> Would that work on a sandisk drive?
[21:55] <mrXX> where can i get help to configure my internal mic, #alsa is non responsive
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  or if you want the hardcore answer.. install syslinux , grub, grub2, or lilo, onto the devices mbr.
[21:55] <rogue780> LjL, yeah nano crashed it...i tried to open something that nano shouldn't have tried to open
[21:56] <rogue780> but I have 30 people logged on to that machine right now....so I really don't want to kill the whole thing
[21:56] <Daedro> truepurple: of course
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> sandisk is a brand last i looked.. unless we missed somthing...
[21:56] <LjL> rogue780: in that case, try "killall nano" (if you aren't running any other nano instances!) from another console
[21:56] <LjL> rogue780: if that still doesn't work, "killall -9 nano"
[21:56] <Daedro> sandisk is good, not that it matters
[21:56] <rogue780> LjL, ill try that
[21:56] <truepurple> Are flash drives universal, and you can just reformate them with what ever mini-os/format system or what ever the deal is?
[21:56] <LjL> rogue780: (not from root, from the same user)
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  for the most case yes. There can always be a few quirkyt ones out there.
[21:57] <rogue780> ljl, woohoo! thanks!
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  ive had 'flash drives' that are actually little bitty hard drives. those can act a little stranger
[21:57] <mrXX> has anyone configured internal mic in acer aspire with ubuntu 9.10
[21:57] <ben64_> but flash drives are a lot slower than HD's
[21:57] <Daedro> truepurple: note, ur motherboard has to suppose usb booting.. but most do (5 years i think)
[21:57] <Daedro> i would only use usb to install, not run, unless debugging
[21:57] <Daedro> i tried
[21:58] <truepurple> Ok theres a second issue, right now I am stuck on win98, how do I install a ubuntu boot on a drive without any official drives for recognizing the flash drive to install anything on it/format it, in the first place
[21:58] <Daedro> so does anybody know why latest ubuntu update switched my desktop to xubuntu without even asking
[21:58] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to get a virgin mobile usb modem model mc760 to work on ubuntu 9.10?
[21:59] <lstarnes> Daedro: was the xubuntu-desktop package installed before?
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  the unetbootin tool can take a ubuntu iso and make a bootable flash drive from it.
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  the pendrivelinux.com site has guides/tools that can also make a bootable flash drive from within windows.
[21:59] <Daedro> truepurple: official drives? dont know if ur speaking english. u should go try what ppl said
[21:59] <truepurple> The tool can detect the flash drive even though there is no driver for my OS to recognize it?
[22:00] <perlsyntax> i was think of getting it and i was just worry how to get it to work on linux.
[22:00] <Daedro> ur OS doesnt recognize the flash drive, ur motherboard does
[22:00] <truepurple> driver, not drive
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  no idea -about flash drive detection issues in windows. see the #windows channel  i guess
[22:00] <Daedro> and u dont need drivers
[22:00] <Daedro> unless u mean win98 isnt recognizing it?
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> I dont recall ever needing drivers for usb for win98.. perhaps win95...
[22:00] <Daedro> unetbootin might still detect it.. its pretty thorough
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> but this is getting to be a #windows issue now it seems
[22:00] <truepurple> Well there is no flash drive interfact that i can see
[22:01] <perlsyntax> does anyone know how to get modile broadband to work on linux?
[22:01] <truepurple> What about that unetbootin tool?
[22:01] <KenBW2> how do i find details of my wireless hardware?
[22:01] <robin0800> perlsyntax: you could try kppp
[22:01] <skyl> so what is vim-full these days?
[22:01] <perlsyntax> what about the network manger?
[22:01] <Flannel> skyl: Do you want gvim? or just full featured vim?
[22:02] <paperazzami> in what folder can i find what my keyboard model is?
[22:02] <perlsyntax> robin0800, it a prepaid wireless dsl
[22:02] <Dr_Willis> skyl:  i was thinking the normal installed vim is now what used to be vim-full..   but ive not really dug into it deeply
[22:02] <skyl> Flannel, just full-featured vim
[22:02] <paperazzami> in what folder can i find what my keyboard model is?
[22:02] <Flannel> skyl: You want "vim" (and always did, vim-full included gvim)
[22:02] <perlsyntax> mmm
[22:02] <mrXX>  is there any other room than #alsa where i can get help on my internal microphone?
[22:03] <robin0800> perlsyntax: yes but does it use dialup?
[22:03] <paperazzami> in what folder can i find what my keyboard model is?
[22:03] <erpingham_> paperazzami, is it a usb keyboard?
[22:03] <perlsyntax> really i thought it was dsl
[22:03] <SuperPii> when I scroll on my desktop it does not switch to my second desktop :(
[22:03] <perlsyntax> i not sure if it does
[22:04] <perlsyntax> i been do search on google alot today.
[22:04] <perlsyntax> it said it work with linx but not sure how.
[22:04] <truepurple> Are flash drivers usually faster then IDE/serial internal drives?
[22:05] <robin0800> perlsyntax: does it use the mobile phone network?
[22:05] <shinran666> can i get an assist
[22:05] <AkumaATR> Hi again. Anyone know have a link on how to remove keyring password requests for programs like Empathy? My 'rents don't need to enter it each time...
[22:05] <perlsyntax> yes it use virgin
[22:05] <cerebral> Any advice on why I cant see some videos on news outlets?  Some vids works ok, others do not.
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:   the seek times are normally faster.. but the actual data transfer rates can be slower.
[22:05] <robin0800> perlsyntax: you mean t-mobile?
[22:05] <shinran666> any advice regarding networking linux to windows
[22:05] <perlsyntax> i show you the web site
[22:06] <shinran666> i need the application fusesmb
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> shinran666:  if you mean 'shareing directorys/data' check out the various samba docs/guides.
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> shinran666:  last i used fusesmb.  it dident work very well.
[22:06] <shinran666> hmmm so it is fraud for you huh?
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> shinran666:  i gave up on fusesmb  about 2 releases ago. havent tried it in 9.10
[22:06] <shinran666> ok then
[22:07] <perlsyntax> robin0800,http://www.virginmobileusa.com/mobile-broadband
[22:07] <shinran666> would me using xubuntu 9.10 do anything different?
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> shinran666:  when fusesmb worked. it worked very well.. when it dident work.. it was a disaster.
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> shinran666:  the core of using samba is the same.  You could mount the shares via the command line, or other ways.  GNOME's file manager has smb browsing features built in which makes it nicer.
[22:07] <owen1> where can i find the flv files that ff is caching? ~/.mozilla/firefox-3.5/qnssmqda.default/Cache  is empty!
[22:08] <perlsyntax> se what i mean rubin0800
[22:08] <perlsyntax> see
[22:08] <mrXX> my interna mic doesnt work
[22:08] <almostAg33k> can any one tell me the sudo command to install java?
[22:08] <DaZ> owen1: /tmp
[22:08] <Cyanure> hi guys
[22:08] <almostAg33k> and flash
[22:08] <Daedro> xubuntu seemed a little more limiting to me, and wouldnt let me access my other partitions.. but its still nice heh
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> !java
[22:09] <perlsyntax> robinin
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> almostAg33k:  im lazy and cheat and install ubuntu-restricted-extras package it grabs those 2 packages.. and a lot more that you may want.   about 300mb total)
[22:09] <Cyanure> I have a programming oriented question : how, in C, can i get the bash variable like $HOME
[22:09] <AkumaATR> crap turns out that i want login password to also be keying password
[22:09] <robin0800> perlsyntax: yes I have one a huawei e160 in uk
[22:09] <AkumaATR> i had autologin set. how do i make it also set it for keyring on login
[22:09] <mrXX> how inernal mic doesnt work, can it be configured ever?
[22:09] <maco> AkumaATR: you need to type the password at some point to unlock keyring
[22:09] <almostAg33k> Dr_Willis: where can i find em? google?
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> AkumaATR:  you can set the Keyring password to be emppty so it never asks for  the password.
[22:10] <maco> AkumaATR: either thats at login screen or if you use autologin, when you get prompted for keyring password
[22:10] <lstarnes> Cyanure: getenv("HOME")
[22:10] <perlsyntax> cool how you get it to work?
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> almostAg33k:  find what exactly?
[22:10] <Cyanure> lstarnes, tx
[22:10] <maco> AkumaATR: it cant decrypt without the key
[22:10] <lstarnes> Cyanure: btw, if you have manpages-dev installed, you can use "man getenv" to get the documentation for it
[22:10] <AkumaATR> i would like login pw + not having to enter keyring pw for progs like empathy
[22:10] <perlsyntax> robin0800, Justmake sure how to set it up on ubuntu 9.10
[22:11] <Joeseph> How can I add my own folder of pictures that scroll through like the default space ones? (on the desktop... Karmic)
[22:11] <robin0800> perlsyntax: if network manager dosen't see it try gnome-ppp
[22:11] <AkumaATR> right now i told it to use login screen but didn't change any keyring settings. guess i'll see if it works. keying pw is the same
[22:11] <Daedro> did anyone else have dns issues with ubuntu update? i had to use a opendns workaround
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> AkumaATR:  applications -> accessories -> passwords and encryption. Check the 'login' tab
[22:11] <Cyanure> lstarnes, tx i'm rtfm now juste didn't know the function
[22:11] <perlsyntax> ok thanks but i still worry about put my prepaid on the web site i se no place for it
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> AkumaATR:  err. the 'passwords' tab wher eit says Passwords:Login RIGHT CLICK and  change the password to be empty
[22:12] <Arsin> Hey, can anyone help me with Audacity
[22:12] <lstarnes> Cyanure: you might want to look for documentation on the POSIX API
[22:12] <amgarchIn9> Anybody using sun grid engine? Any idea about this? error: commlib error: access denied (server host resolves rdata host "wrkst" as "wrkst.domain.tld")
[22:12] <Cyanure> lstarnes, why so?
[22:13] <mrXX> anyone got acer internal mic working in ubuntu 9.10
[22:13] <skyl> .join #django
[22:13] <gabbah> hi! How can i verify that a program will run at system start? In this case it's noip2, the dyncamic ip update proggie, that needs to run as root. I have followed steps in a guide, but it doesn't seem to have worked... so i want to verify it somehow.
[22:13] <lstarnes> Cyanure: linux and other unix-like and unix-based opetating systems use that API
[22:13] <lstarnes> *operating
[22:14] <Cyanure> lstarnes, you mean i'll find some usefull piece of advices there?
[22:14] <zerq> would there be any benefit to ext4 vs ext3 for battery life on a laptop/netbook
[22:14] <zerq> trying to get the max out of this thing
[22:15] <B4R74zy> plz go 2                     sites.google.com/site/howtowinafight               & click on ads ;        thank you
[22:15] <lstarnes> Cyanure: if you want to do c/c++ programming on linux or any other OS related to unix, they all usually use the POSIX API for core OS functions
[22:15] <owen1> DaZ: is it in pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n or pulse-Slxa5yE79xiQ? i don't have permissions to access them.
[22:15] <alican> anyone can help me
[22:15] <lstarnes> Cyanure: if you want to use those core functions, you'll usually need to use that API

[22:19] <Roasted> Hey guys - got a problem - I cannot send anything to the trash can. I get an error "Could not write to file /path/of/trash/file.trashinfo" what can I do?
[22:19] <evilGUI> If you haven't already played it KOTOR is $2.50 on steam.
[22:19] <n16h7f0x> Dr_Willis, k thx will try it
[22:19] <zerq> Dr_Willis: that guide doesn't really have anything to do with battery life, other than suggesting to install powertop.. lol.. but thanks anyway ;)

[22:19] <n16h7f0x> robin0800, but how can i get rid of that ati driver
[22:19] <DaZ> owen1: it's pulseaudio
[22:19] <maco> lstarnes: snd...which? there are many drivers that start with snd. though i think you might want "sudo alsa force-reload"
[22:20] <git__> if solid state drive claimed to have "Life expectancy – 1 million hours mean time before failure"
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> zerq:  check other guides/netbook forums also

[22:20] <Snausages> git__: yeah that's a bogus sort of stat...  flash storage goes bad with usage, not with time except where more time allows for more usage.
[22:21] <mdg> gentle nerds, start your weekend! yee haw!!!!!!!!!

[22:22] <git__> thx mdg
[22:23] <Snausages> git__: it all comes down to usage- the more you use it, the sooner it'll die.

[22:23] <PMantis> Heh, this isn't twitter
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  you run it.. point it to the proper iso file, or let it download the iso file.. point it to the flash drive.. and  hit OK. and wait about 10 min while it does its job. :)
[22:23] <lstarnes> reactor16: do you have /etc/modprobe.conf?
[22:23] <Snausages> git__: 3 years is pretty reasonable for a laptop HDD...  I'd expect any SSD to last double with average-to-heavy usage

[22:33] <lstarnes> reactor16: it's probably some weird configuration of modprobe

[22:42] <jad_> what is a command line equivalent to installing new updates from the update manager
[22:42] <sina_kks> my first time here
[22:42] <jad_> ?
[22:42] <sina_kks> :D
[22:42] <smacktalk> anyone know of an linux equivalent to bitche?
[22:42] <sebsebseb> sina_kks: hi
[22:43] <AndyGraybeal> (from the command line)
[22:43] <lstarnes> AndyGraybeal: I don't think you can set it from the command line
[22:43] <truepurple> And the fact that I booted up with the USB< but then pulled it out, but put it back in again, could that be effecting things?
[22:43] <lstarnes> AndyGraybeal: check System > Preferences > Sessions
[22:43] <PMantis> lstarnes: Thanks! Different than I had before. I need to run a script before networking and UFW start. Seems the only way is to have my script trigger on a networking event, then trigger ufw on my custom event - but that doesn't seem elegant. Ideas?
[22:43] <Guest46250> inside
[22:43] <jad_> What is a command line equivalent to installing new updates from the update manager ?
[22:43] <forestwalker> Hi, does someone know why I got kernel upgrade to 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:53:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) and http://www.ubuntu.com/usn don't show any description on it?
[22:43] <AndyGraybeal> lstarnes, what is the command to bring up the program that can do it -- i'm in a completely different wm, it's all typing -- lstarns, how do i get to the point where i can see those menus again?
[22:44] <Jeruvy> smacktalk: packages.ubuntu.com is a great place to search
[22:44] <lstarnes> AndyGraybeal: gnome-panel
[22:44] <AkumaATR> frack. Anyone know what to do to update GRUB menu after removing execute bit from os_prober and putting stuff that already found in 40_custom please msg me
[22:44] <kostkon> jad_, sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:45] <lstarnes> AndyGraybeal: try editing /usr/share/gnome/default.session as well
[22:45] <jad_> yea kostkon but the thing is I don't think its completely the same, they indicate different sizes of uodates
[22:45] <paperazzami> what's the "Super" key?
[22:45] <kostkon> paperazzami, the win key
[22:45] <jad_> one says 30 the other 60 mb
[22:45] <lockd> smacktalk, it would help to know what the heck the program actually does
[22:45] <kostkon> jad_, hmm. strange
[22:45] <PMantis> paperazzami: "windoze" symbol key
[22:45] <lstarnes> PMantis: you could have it trigger on the start of the system and have networking require it
[22:46] <paperazzami> dichtgetikt dat je het niet windows key noemt
[22:46] <kekale> jad_, you sure you are comparing the same figures?
[22:46] <Dr_Willis> We need little Superman Logo  stickers to put over the windows key logo. :)
[22:46] <jad_> yea
[22:46] <kostkon> jad_, maybe there is a partial dist-upgrade you need to do
[22:46] <jad_> nope
[22:46] <PMantis> lstarnes: "require" it? It's even driven. do you know how to do that?
[22:47] <lstarnes> PMantis: use "start on started <jobname>"
[22:47] <lstarnes> PMantis: I'm  not sure if that would work though
[22:48] <lstarnes> PMantis: I think upstart still launches a SysV-like set of init scripts like most other linux distributions use
[22:48] <jad_> right now, i first apt-get update then upgrade, the command says 26MB and the update manager says 62MB
[22:48] <PMantis> lstarnes: I see that networking.conf in 9.10 has a start line with a parenthesis. Do you know if that means both event contitions have to be satisfied before it fires, or either?
[22:48] <jad_> im confused
[22:48] <lstarnes> PMantis: I don't know
[22:48] <lstarnes> PMantis: what does the line look like?
[22:48] <PMantis> lstarnes: Yes, it does... and my script is a regular init script now... but it doesn't reliably run before ufw.
[22:49] <PMantis> lstarnes: start on (local-filesystem  and stopped udevtrigger)
[22:49] <lstarnes> PMantis: it means that it starts after local-filesystem has been triggered and udevtrigger has been stopped
[22:49] <dual> How do I disable x / gdm from starting after booting without changing menu.lst for grub?
[22:50] <forestwalker> Guys, what is the latest kernel version  on karmic? I got 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:53:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) - is it latest one?
[22:50] <bluesscream> Arsin: you should have installed cpufrequtils and gnome-applets
[22:50] <bassliner> dual: you could temporarily put an "exit 0" on top of /etc/init.d/gdm
[22:50] <PMantis> lstarnes: Hmmmmm, maybe I can add another line there to make it require my custom event, too.
[22:50] <lstarnes> PMantis: you probably could
[22:50] <jefelex> dual - goto login manager in system and select do not start GDM
[22:50] <bassliner> dual: if it's just for testing purpose or something
[22:50] <lstarnes> PMantis: there might be another way to do it by managing the init scripts
[22:50] <bassliner> dual: at least that's how i do it
[22:51] <lstarnes> PMantis: I forget how to modify the SvsV init scripts though
[22:51] <bassliner> dual: will get you into serious problems if you can't remember the change later on.
[22:51] <dual> bassliner, jefelex I'm running ubuntu with lxde on a beagle board (500mhz cpu) and I want to disable gui, but be able to start gdm if I need it some time later
[22:51] <PMantis> lstarnes: My next requirement is to unmount a dynamically mounted filesystem after stopping some services on shutdown.
[22:51] <PMantis> lstarnes: heh
[22:51] <lstarnes> PMantis: you could create a custom job for that too
[22:52] <bassliner> dual: the proper way is rcconf
[22:52] <bassliner> dual: aptitude install rcconf
[22:52] <dual> ok, apt?
[22:52] <bassliner> dual: and then run it and deselect gdm
[22:52] <bassliner> yup
[22:52] <dual> yes, thanks
[22:52] <BrandonR> Any experts out there on X? I've got a NEC multisync monitor that xorg is failing to probe the modes correctly.
[22:52] <Kudi> i fixed my sound problem by installing crunchbang, but now i can only run one program that uses sound at one time, how do i fix this?
[22:53] <jefelex> dual -yes, I do that - just disable GDM in the login manager setitings, then when you have a command line at the next boot, type"gdm" or "startx"
[22:53] <sebsebseb> Kudi: Crunchbang is based on Ubuntu 9.04
[22:53] <bassliner> BrandonR: most likely you would just have to increase horizsync and vertrefresh values
[22:53] <BrandonR> It doesn't detect any usable resolutions at all. If I boot with the monitor turned off I can get 800x600.
[22:53] <AndyGraybeal> i don't have a /usr/share/gnome/default.session  ; so far i haven't gotten to the menu's with the gnome panel either, it just has a blank panel, i have to add modules
[22:54] <sebsebseb> !crunchbang | Kudi
[22:54] <bassliner> BrandonR: well you need to create a custom xorg.conf that has all the definitions you need.
[22:54] <nyha> Anyone here with experience of using vmware player on ubuntu?
[22:55] <BrandonR> Is there any documentation? All I found in the faq was something about using xrandr
[22:55] <sebsebseb> nybble: I have done in the past, but really you would be better off with Virtualbox, since that's what is usaully recommended in here, and also how it can use VMDK files without needing to set up with a .vmx
[22:55] <Guest507> ?
[22:56] <Guest507> I cant seem to het ldap to work :/
[22:56] <Guest507> And I need to make a domain
[22:56] <Dr_Willis> Kudi:  one of the 'features' of gnome/ubuntu is using 'pulse audio' that lets the applications   share the sounds card.  (well it helps in that area) Crunchbang aparently dosent use pulse audio

[23:02] <kostkon> h4writer, do you mean that every notification you are getting is using the awn icon?
[23:02] <jefelex> bassliner - can you then use sysv runlevels once you have disabled GDM?
[23:02] <sebsebseb> h4writer: hmm  I think I read something about notify-osd  difference/issue  in 9.10,  how something was different from 9.04.  I don't think much can be done with notify-osd at the moment,  unless you edit the code for it of course.   It's also not actsaully part of upstream Gnome.
[23:02] <h4writer> kostkon, yes
[23:02] <sebsebseb> !bug |  h4writer
[23:03] <kostkon> h4writer, try changing your icon theme back to the default for example or to something else
[23:03] <h4writer> sebsebseb, yes I know, but I wanted to debug it a bit more before posting a bug ...
[23:03] <judith> Very quick question: I have downloaded and installed VirtualBox, but now can't find it. When I did this on 9.10 it was in System, but can't see it in 9.04. Any ideas?
[23:03] <kostkon> h4writer, or delete and reinstall the current one you are using
[23:03] <jefelex> bassliner - I guess you ave to organize which services you run for each runlevel
[23:03] <h4writer> because I can't add a lot of details to the bug report ...
[23:03] <sebsebseb> judith: yep
[23:03] <h4writer> kostkon, ok I will try
[23:03] <kostkon> h4writer, better go back to the default, for a start
[23:03] <sebsebseb> judith: which one did you get by the way?  open source version from repo, or other one with USB support?
[23:04] <almostAg33k> any one know why my laptop will find my network but wont let me access the net?
[23:04] <sebsebseb> almostAg33k: no, but  your getting a wireless issue?
[23:04] <judith> Went through the main website, so not sure ... presume open source
[23:04] <sebsebseb> judith: did you download a DEB for Ubuntu  after going to their website?
[23:04] <jefelex> almostag33k - you may find that the signal is not strong enough
[23:04] <almostAg33k> sebsebseb: yes, i thinb
[23:04] <jefelex> that is what I have found
[23:04] <skyl> why do I get all of this junk in my home dir?
[23:05] <Mike_lifeguard> How can I see the changelog for some package updates on my server? For example, php has a security release out just recently - how would I check the changelog for apt-get upgrade?
[23:05] <almostAg33k> i was sitting next to the router
[23:05] <Panda^^> When I plug in my iPod nano I can select a program to open from a list. Is it possible to make a script/program that unmount and then mounts the ipod and put it in the list?
[23:05] <jefelex> that may be why
[23:05] <bassliner> jefelex: that could indeed be true
[23:05] <neon_> about to give up on this ubuntu stuff, over 2 weeks to get a tvtuner to work (2 actually) and nothing seems to work one application plays picture no sound, the other one plays nothing at all the one that can play both picture and sound is so rudimentary to use is useless, can anyone offer a link on where to go to properly configure a hauppauge 1600 or avernedia usb to work under ubuntu thx
[23:05] <jefelex> I had the same problem a while ago
[23:05] <lukus> hi i'm using reiserfs but I've been getting a few odd errors... would it be worth switching filesystem.. and if so does anyone have any recommendations?
[23:05] <sebsebseb> almostAg33k: well when getting hardware issues,  it's  good to  know some details, so  you can  maybe fix it yourself, or provide the details to someone else, that can help you properly,  that's not me by the way
[23:05] <h4writer> kostkon, It still shows that icon. Should I restart notify-osd?
[23:05] <skyl> 41 items in my home dir by default?
[23:05] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  almostAg33k
[23:05] <bassliner> jefelex: from redhatish distributions i know they have a command chkconfig where you can specify the runlevels to switch a service on or off in
[23:05] <judith> Not sure - I'm not aware of downloading anything extra (I'm a bit of a beginner). Download and install seemed to go OK
[23:05] <kostkon> h4writer, hmm. you could try yeap
[23:06] <lukus> neon_; dont' give up .. it's worth investing .. you end up knowing why and how things happen...
[23:06] <h4writer> kostkon, doesn't help
[23:06] <bassliner> jefelex: that's one of the very few things i like about redhat tho
[23:06] <sebsebseb> judith: ok
[23:06] <lukus> neon_; but I feel for you .. it's pretty frustrating having to battle
[23:06] <skyl> I thought installing fresh would give me a cleaner setup to start fresh ...
[23:06] <jefelex> bassliner - yes exactly - good ol' red hat!!
[23:06] <kostkon> h4writer, :/
[23:06] <sebsebseb> judith: I guess it was the version with USB support
[23:06] <dupondje> hi ! i'm searching software to recover files from a bad harddisk, found gddrecover, but thats only for full disks, not for files
[23:06] <bassliner> jefelex: i have to use it at work, don't remind me...
[23:06] <skyl> but I have this great .pulse dir ... can I just erase all of this?
[23:06] <sebsebseb> judith: which would actsaully have to be set up properly in 9.04, before it would even work
[23:06] <Enissay> PLease, i need help with this simple rename bash script http://pastebin.com/d4b5a812
[23:06] <Um_cara_qualquer> o pessoal, alguem sabe como faz pra trocar o icone das pastas por outro usando o tema hydroxygen. excuse me, does anybody knows how can i change all folder's icon to another one using hydroxygen as principal theme?
[23:06] <neon_> i got everythin running the way iwant to, just my tv tuner cause is the only tv source for me
[23:07] <bassliner> jefelex: seriously, the debian/ubuntu boxes are much much lesser pain
[23:07] <sebsebseb> judith: as for installing Virtualbox  or any other program for that matter, what sometimes happens is,  you install the program, but then it does not show on the menu
[23:07] <jefelex> ol' is the operative word!!
[23:07] <Um_cara_qualquer> excuse me, does anybody knows how can i change all folder's icon to another one using hydroxygen as principal theme?
[23:07] <lukus> neon_; which card?
[23:07] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: you can set it in the gnome preferences
[23:07] <jefelex> gotta run!
[23:07] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: appearance dialog
[23:07] <sebsebseb> judith: to  get it showing,  you should be able to just log out of your Ubuntu account and back in,  or you can re install the program
[23:07] <judith> That seems to be what happened - was spoilt in 9.10 .. has instant icon. Nothing in 9.04
[23:07] <lukus> anyone: what should i replace reiserfs with?? would switching be recommended?
[23:08] <sebsebseb> judith: Why did you go from 9.10 to 9.04 by the way?
[23:08] <Guest91857> 9.10 is pretty broken
[23:08] <dupondje> somebody can recommend me a tool ?
[23:08] <sebsebseb> Guest91857: yep it is, here and there
[23:08] <truepurple> How is it broken?
[23:08] <Guest91857> compiz, icons, media players, nothing worked for me
[23:08] <judith> I had big problems with the chipset upgrades . graphics ... 9.04 went seamlessly. Can now watch BBC iPlayer - couldn't before.
[23:08] <sebsebseb> truepurple: uhmm I guess  reading the 9.10 release notes is a start, if you want to find out about issues that it has
[23:09] <manuel__> hi guys, i have a new gamepad, but i'm not opening it because i have to check it works on linux first. is there any guide or tutorial to manage this hardware?
[23:09] <sebsebseb> !notes |  truepurple
[23:09] <Um_cara_qualquer> bassliner,  i see... but when i try change to another one... the entire theme is changed with it... i just wanna change the folder's icons
[23:09] <skyl> among these 41 items is not a .vim dir or a .vimrc ...
[23:09] <neon_> lukus: hauppauge 1600, it work ok under mplayer but is a pain to change channels, tvtime does not work at all and mythtv seems to have been created by who knows who, some one that like pain no doubt
[23:09] <sebsebseb> judith: chip set upgrades for what?
[23:10] <Guest91857> anyone want google wave invites
[23:11] <sebsebseb> !ot |  Guest91857
[23:11] <judith> I have an HP2133  - Via Chrome9 ... I know very little about Ubuntu, but in 9.04 everything worked with easy debugging that didn't work so easily in 9.20
[23:11] <sebsebseb> judith: ok :)
[23:11] <sebsebseb> judith: well really 9.04 is the better release over all
[23:11] <lukus> neon_; are you using the linux cx18 driver at the moment?
[23:11] <sebsebseb> judith: or at least for some of us
[23:11] <kopczyk> hej
[23:11] <neon_> lukus: yes
[23:11] <judith> I will get better with time, but that's good to know. 9.04 seems so much more user-friendly!
[23:11] <coastal> how do i setup a wireless printer?
[23:11] <neon_> the latest one from the mercurial source
[23:12] <sebsebseb> judith: Why do you think that?
[23:12] <lukus> neon_; i reckon your best bet would be posting on ubuntuforums maybe
[23:12] <lukus> neon_; more chance of someone relevant reading yr issue
[23:12] <neon_> lukus: i been reading, and i will keep trying, just need a to vent a bit :)
[23:13] <Um_cara_qualquer> bassliner, are you here?
[23:13] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: yup
[23:13] <lukus> neon_; fair enough, good luck :)
[23:13] <Um_cara_qualquer> heh
[23:13] <neon_> lukus: thx
[23:13] <Um_cara_qualquer> bassliner,  so... when i try change to another one... the entire theme is changed with it... i just wanna change the folder's icons
[23:13] <judith> Easier to install things, easier to understand for the uninitiated like me! The ubuntu installation guide for 9.04 was easy, unlike 9.10 (may be more a problem with my netbook)
[23:13] <lukus> neon_; np
[23:13] <sebsebseb> judith: oh your on a net book
[23:14] <sebsebseb> judith: So you did Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix?
[23:14] <coastal> is there a manual to help set up a wireless printer?
[23:14] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: appearance -> theme -> customize -> icons
[23:14] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: and just select an icon theme there
[23:14] <judith> Yes, just to try out ope source stuff ... didn't want to risk messing up pc and laptop ... seasoned Windows user!
[23:14] <sebsebseb> coastal: uhmm I guess some where,  and maybe this bot factoid will be useless for you, but  it's worth a look at the links
[23:14] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: if you just want to change the folders icons
[23:15] <sebsebseb> !cups |  coastal
[23:15] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: then you can go into /usr/share/icons/yourleettheme
[23:15] <AndyGraybeal> how do i make x not auto-login with the command line ?
[23:15] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: and cp -R yourleettheme blafooblahblub and edit or replace the specific icon in blafooblahblub
[23:15] <judith> I tried the latest UNR and it was incredibly slow. Problem with HP2133 £D I think, then went to 9.10, then 9.04 ... finally happy!
[23:15] <truepurple> Well whats the cliff notes of the issues a end user might notice with 9.10 verses 9.4?
[23:15] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: got it? :)
[23:15] <hedkandi> hello
[23:16] <sebsebseb> judith: you did desktop version on your net book as well for 9.10?
[23:16] <Um_cara_qualquer> bassliner, hang on... i must diggest all those info
[23:16] <bassliner> Um_cara_qualquer: if not feel free to /query me :-)
[23:16] <hedkandi> whenever I login to ubuntu it asks me for the password to the default keyring
[23:16] <hedkandi> is it meant to do this?
[23:16] <judith> Yes - too slow. I liked the look of it, but I don't think it suits my netbook
[23:17] <dupondje> somebody knows a tool to recover files from a half-broken harddisk ?
[23:17] <sprockets2000> quick question before I decide to install ubuntu, anyone know if HDMI out for a 9800M GTS works in ubuntu?
[23:17] <EntityReborn> Um_cara_qualquer, sabes que hay un canal #ubuntu-es, verdad?
[23:17] <dupondje> can try to copy them with Nautilus, but think there is a better way?
[23:17] <sebsebseb> judith: I know of another distro  that is actsaully  a lot more user friendly than Ubuntu,  much smaller IRC community though.   9.04  has  untill like October with security updates and that's it, it will go end of life.   However 10.04 is coming out at the end of April which is the next long term support release,  3 years of support on the desktop and 5 on the server.  9.04 can't be upgraded to it directly, you would have to go through 9.10
[23:17] <sebsebseb> first.  10.04 would be a good one to clean install for a few reasons
[23:17] <sprockets2000> As in 720P out 1280x768
[23:18] <Ghoster> I'm trying to run 2 video cards Ones a Ati card and Ones a Nvida basic card with 128mb. In Ubuntu 9.10 I can only get the Ati card to start can someone help me to configure the other one ?
[23:19] <hedkandi> Ghoster, have you got a driver for it?
[23:19] <Um_cara_qualquer> EntityReborn, didn't knew
[23:19] <Um_cara_qualquer> EntityReborn, thx man
[23:19] <judith> Maybe I will try to go to 9.10 once the HP2133 problems have been resolved. Which is the other distro? I could try dual installation?
[23:19] <Panda^^> Can anyone tell me why my printer is printing blank papers? Its a deskjet 3425 (3400 series)
[23:19] <Ghoster> Yeah everytime I install the nvida driver it unloads the ati one...
[23:19] <EntityReborn> Um_cara_qualquer, your welcome :P
[23:19] <Panda^^> Its "writing" on the paper but nothing comes out
[23:19] <sebsebseb> judith: that's the other thing with this type of software,  development is rather fast, so   for many of these programs,  releases don't last that long really, and then they don't get security updates anymore
[23:19] <dupondje> everybody ignores me :(
[23:19] <sebsebseb> judith: development being fast, depends on the project
[23:19] <Guest96372> hedkandi - it used to ask for this on mine when it was connecting through wireless.
[23:20] <kane77> hi, can I somehow find out what program is using network? because I'm not aware that I have any download running and yet the system monitor shows that the full capacity of network is used
[23:20] <hikenboot> anyone know if there is any proxy type sites that would allow you to play flash located on another website without having to install flash on the client ( this is a method I thought might be possible to avoid flash support limitation on powerpc)
[23:20] <judith> Re. virtualbox, is there a command line I could try to find it?
[23:20] <Ghoster> hedkandi: Yeah everytime I install the nvida driver it unloads the ati one...
[23:20] <hedkandi> Guest96372, right but is that meant to happen
[23:20] <sebsebseb> judith: try opening it from the termianl with  virtualbox
[23:20] <hedkandi> Ghoster: well they're probably incompatible then?
[23:20] <sebsebseb> judith: type virtualbox and hit enter
[23:21] <matth3w> Hello, i'm wondering why i can only ssh to my ubuntu machine using my internal ip address? When i try to ssh using my regular ip and the ssh port it times out every time
[23:21] <hedkandi> Ghoster, is it documented?
[23:21] <sebsebseb> judith: other distros and such,  that's off topic for this channel really,  but that's fine in pm :)
[23:21] <tilt> mhhh
[23:21] <Daedro> didnt know u could run an ati and nvidia card together
[23:21] <tilt> why jaunty x.org segfaults when I enable the wacom sections?
[23:21] <hedkandi> no I dunno how it works with video drivers
[23:21] <Ghoster> Hedkandi I have searched for this kind a setup with no leads... Thought I would ask you smart people
[23:21] <Guest96372> hedkandi - yes as a security measure.  there is a way to disable it (that is, to connect without prompting). hang on and I'll have a look...
[23:22] <sebsebseb> judith: I assume you want to virtual machine Windows?
[23:22] <dupondje> somebody knows a tool to recover files from a half-broken harddisk ?
[23:22] <judith> Just trying the command line!
[23:22] <aSt3raL> so my grandmas computer is 6 years old and chokes on windows and aol and im thinking about switching her to linux any thoughts?
[23:22] <sebsebseb> judith: it's a graphical app.  you can open it from the command line
[23:23] <hedkandi> Ghoster, what tools are available for fiddling with the video drivers then?
[23:23] <bernardo_> hola?
[23:23] <bernardo_> hello?
[23:23] <bernardo_> konichiwa?
[23:23] <judith> Yes, I was thinking about trying XP or Vista, but am lacking a product key at the moment!
[23:23] <sebsebseb> !es |  bernardo_
[23:23] <aSt3raL> msg me if interested
[23:23] <aSt3raL> this chan scrolls too fast for me
[23:24] <sebsebseb> judith: If you have the original CD/DVD  I think there is a way to find out the key
[23:24] <sebsebseb> aSt3raL: ok
[23:24] <sebsebseb> aSt3raL: well it's not that busy right now
[23:24] <aSt3raL> ok fair enough
[23:24] <jblack> Hiya. I just upgraded a system from Jaunty to Karmic and now it's not booting.
[23:25] <sebsebseb> !details |  jblack
[23:25] <aSt3raL> usually when im here it is
[23:25] <sebsebseb> aSt3raL: as for which distro, well it depends on how much RAM the computer has, and  stuff like that
[23:25] <jblack> On the screen I get a complaint about mountall getting a SEGV, ntpd trying to start and fail, and a blinking cursor, without a login.
[23:25] <Guest96372> hedkandi - looking on the forums it appears there is variation in opinion on whether it should or not (ask for keyring). I disabled mine the first time it prompted me for it - will have a look to see how it is done now...
[23:25] <judith> The problem is that I am still sing XP on an old PC - presume I can't use it twice. Vista has been upgrades to Win 7, but CD is a Samsung one, so may not work for different computer.
[23:25] <aSt3raL> p4 2ghz, 256mb ram, onboard video
[23:25] <doc-saintly> I have a user who is unable to SCP a server from the external network (doesn't authenticate), but it connects fine from the internal network
[23:25] <jblack> ctrl-c does nothing, ctrl-alt-del attempts to start a shutdown, but then gets stuck.
[23:26] <aSt3raL> 80gb hdd i think
[23:26] <sebsebseb> judith: it is possible to actsaully convert an XP install into a virtual machine
[23:26] <dailystruggle> how do you set up wireless can someone drop me a link
[23:26] <AndyGraybeal> how do i stop ubuntu from automatically logging into X... i need to do it through the ocmmand lines, the regular wmenus that are normally there to change this aren gone right now.
[23:26] <dupondje> somebody knows a tool to recover files from a half-broken harddisk ?
[23:26] <aSt3raL> i told her to buy a new damn desktop but when i was driving home i thought linux would prob work for her
[23:26] <jblack> The most current kernel is 2.6.28-something, I tried 2.6.27-something, also on the system, and rescue mode in both also show the same problem.
[23:26] <bastid_raZor> doc-saintly: possibly port 22 needs to be forwarded to the server if behind a firewall or the ISP may block port 22.
[23:26] <sebsebseb> aSt3raL: well  yes, with the correct distro, Linux breaths a lot of life into old hardware!
[23:27] <judith> That sounds good. I have installed VirtualBox in Terminal, but still can't see it anywhere!
[23:27] <bastid_raZor> doc-saintly: firewall/router
[23:27] <jblack> There are also a handful of udev complaints.
[23:27] <acicula> dupondje: define half broken hard drive
[23:27] <truepurple> I know of a program to recover files from erasing and stuff, but not sure about damage to the drive itself
[23:27] <manuel__> hi, does anybody know where jscalibrator is? it doesn't appear on repos
[23:27] <aSt3raL> what about flash though?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> judith: you mean you did this?  sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose ?
[23:27] <judith> Found it :-)
[23:27] <matth3w> Is this a router issue??
[23:27] <aSt3raL> i dunno if thatd work with 256mg ram
[23:27] <truepurple> For that, you would probably need a professional service
[23:27] <sebsebseb> judith: that would install the open source version that has no  USB support
[23:27] <jp-enguin> i love ubuntu.
[23:27] <judith> Yes, and it worked¬
[23:27] <aSt3raL> maybe buy some used ram and drop it in
[23:27] <doc-saintly> bastid_raZor: nope, other user is able to connect fine. and it wouldn't be throwing an authentication issue if the router wasn't allowing the traffic
[23:28] <vistro> Does anybody know why my desktop won't connect to any wireless networks? It sees them, but it won't connect to them
[23:28] <jsubl2> so what program is good for video editing
[23:28] <sebsebseb> !love |  jp-enguin
[23:28] <Ghoster> Hedkandi : Xorg.conf is the main tool : /  I guess.. ATi has the configuration for the main one that works..
[23:28] <bastid_raZor> doc-saintly: you use keys or just passwords to authenticate?
[23:28] <acicula> !wireless | vistro
[23:28] <sebsebseb> jsubl2: try kino
[23:28] <doc-saintly> bastid_raZor: pass
[23:28] <jsubl2> k
[23:28] <jblack> So, that's all the facts I have at the moment. Any suggestions how how to get my server to at least boot to a usable shell?
[23:28] <jsubl2> thanks sebsebseb
[23:28] <truepurple> Ubottu, thats life, love is when the ice weasels get friendly
[23:28] <judith> Is that not the best version? I won't be using it for a bit, so no problem if I need to reinstall.
[23:28] <sebsebseb> jsubl2: there's also Synfig for 2D animation and Blender for 3D moddeling by the way
[23:29] <bastid_raZor> doc-saintly: so it rejects his password?
[23:29] <hedkandi> Ghoster: you need to find some more tools
[23:29] <doc-saintly> bastid_raZor: yes, even though the password works fine on the internal network
[23:29] <vistro> It's not any of the cards. It's the operating system.
[23:29] <acicula> jblack: safe mode or rescue mode doesnt work?
[23:29] <Guest96372> hedkandi - http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/
[23:29] <jsubl2> sebsebseb: ok just mainly pasting some video together from the camcorder with minor cutting and pasting
[23:29] <hedkandi> Ghoster: do a search on synaptics for all the utility packages involving video cards
[23:29] <dupondje> acicula: bad blocks, some unreadable files. It didn't spin up anymore, had to open it. Now it gets seen by pc, but want to recover some files on it, not all
[23:29] <sebsebseb> judith: well  that version is fine, unless you want  USB support
[23:29] <hedkandi> Guest96372, how interesting!
[23:29] <judith> It's VB ose, apparently!
[23:29] <jblack> acicula: Nope. single shows exactly the same problem, so it's going bad really early.
[23:29] <Ghoster> hedkandi : <--- you look like a good tool :)
[23:29] <acicula> dupondje: open as in you physically opened the drive?
[23:30] <dailystruggle> anyone
[23:30] <TheFuzzball> where can I find a repo that has a daily build of KDE 4.4?
[23:30] <sebsebseb> judith: that's the one in the repo
[23:30] <acicula> jblack: does the kernel even load?
[23:30] <truepurple> How can it be seen by the PC if it doesnt spin up any more
[23:30] <Ghoster> K
[23:30] <dupondje> acicula: yes
[23:30] <judith> How do I PM for distro? Will need to turn in soon ...
[23:30] <jblack> acicula: Yup, and it gets as far as running some init scripts. The last two things on the console before trying to boot are mountall getting a SEGV, and ntpd trying to start
[23:30] <acicula> dupondje: yeah you need a professional recovery service now
[23:30] <sebsebseb> judith: I tried to pm you earlier actsaully about three times and had no reply
[23:30] <vistro> all ALL of my cards are supported. Why don't they work?
[23:31] <hedkandi> hoho
[23:31] <aSt3raL> sebsebseb, heh thanks
[23:31] <dupondje> acicula: surely not, it shows the disk in ubuntu :) its mounted, and can see files, just want a programm that tries a bit harder to copy everything, instead on giving up after 1 read retry
[23:31] <sebsebseb> judith: there should be a thing with my name on it?
[23:31] <bastid_raZor> doc-saintly: i'm not finding anything on google or the forums about failed pass from outside the network but inside it works. i have no idea.
[23:31] <sebsebseb> judith: if not click on mine and should open pm up
[23:31] <matth3w> Hello, i'm wondering why i can only ssh to my ubuntu machine using my internal ip address? When i try to ssh using my regular ip and the ssh port it times out every time, is this a router issue?
[23:31] <doc-saintly> bastid_raZor: hmm. alright well i'm in the same boat XD. thanks for trying though
[23:31] <acicula> jblack: you could try the livecd and chrooting into your system, that way you can at least figure out/fix whats wrong?
[23:31] <sebsebseb> judith: I could say in here really, but someone might not like that
[23:31] <judith> That could be my fault ... new and clueless user. Will try now.
[23:32] <jblack> acicula: Yeah, I'm downloading an ubuntu-rescue-remix as we speak.. That's painfully slow as it's via cell phone.
[23:32] <skyl> what is the .cache dir for?
[23:32] <vistro> And why does my PS/2 keyboard only work half the time?
[23:32] <acicula> dupondje: well, in that case dd is as low as you can go
[23:32] <KittyBoots> I am looking for software suggestions.  I am looking for open source book writing software, any ideas?
[23:32] <jblack> acicula: I get the impression that udev is not happy with the current kernel. The newest one on the system is 2.6.28-something.
[23:32] <vistro> Ubuntu: Don't expect it to work on a desktop
[23:32] <dupondje> acicula: but with dd I can't copy files ? just the full parition ?
[23:32] <acicula> it will make a carbon copy of what your disk spits out, but it may still get stuck on read errors
[23:32] <dailystruggle> don't know if its the settings in the laptop off but prolly the router
[23:32] <dupondje> partition*
[23:32] <zzzxzzz> hello gusy
[23:33] <skyl> vistro, sounds like the hardware, I've never had a software prob with linux and a keyboard
[23:33] <acicula> dupondje: err yeah
[23:33] <acicula> dupondje: dump the disk, then try to recover?
[23:33] <dupondje> want to recover single files/folders, as some of the content is useless
[23:33] <dupondje> well don't have space for full image :(
[23:33] <Guest23177> just installed ubuntu 9.10.  i am new to the whole ubuntu/linux thing.  is there anything cool/fun i should check out?
[23:33] <Ozzah> Hi, every time I press ctrl+shift my keyboard layout changes from english to ascii. This is incredibly annoying since a bunch of my kb shortcuts use ctrl+shift+something. Does anybody know how to disable this? I never use it anyway.
[23:33] <vistro> how does that help me?
[23:33] <vistro> I don't have any other machines available
[23:33] <zzzxzzz> i need your help guys
[23:33] <vistro> my laptop can't do always on
[23:33] <acicula> dupondje: dunno then :/
[23:33] <zzzxzzz> i need your help guys
[23:34] <mrandmrspsycho> what is the sudo so i can grab java and flash?
[23:34] <acicula> !ask | zzzxzzz
[23:34] <dupondje> acicula: k :) thx anyway :)
[23:34] <KittyBoots> Where can I go to learn about open source applications?
[23:34] <acicula> KittyBoots: its website
[23:34] <jblack> I bet that 2.6.28 is too old for current udevs.
[23:35] <acicula> KittyBoots: sorry misread, if you want to learn about open source maybe gnu.org ?
[23:35] <zzzxzzz> i want to upgrade for new ubuntu, is anybody who can help me?
[23:35] <Iowan> KittyBoots:  Synaptic
[23:35] <KittyBoots> acicula: I am looking for something specific and I am not having rewarding results.
[23:35] <acicula> KittyBoots: a specific program you mean?
[23:35] <jblack> I could see a too-old-kernel breaking udev bad enough that the filesystems don't mount properly, etc. At least I hope. :|
[23:36] <jblack> Or it's mountall SEGVing. /me rolls his eyes
[23:36] <hedkandi> hey, when I delete a user in "users and groups" he disappears, and then the next time I start the dialog he's back!
[23:36] <KittyBoots> acicula:  I am looking for a book writing program, that I used about a year ago, but I forgot what it was called.
[23:36] <hedkandi> where is the passwd file on users?
[23:36] <acicula> KittyBoots: latex related?
[23:37] <iKernel> KittyBoots, open office org?
[23:37] <acicula> hedkandi: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow-
[23:37] <acicula> hedkandi: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
[23:37] <acicula>  - -
[23:37] <Iowan> hedkandi: /etc/passwd
[23:37] <ReAn> hrm >_>
[23:37] <hedkandi> why doesn't the dialog function properly?
[23:37] <matth3w> When I ssh to my ubuntu machine from vista it works fine IF I am using the internal ip address for that box, but when i use just my regular ip address it times out every time... Is there anyway to fix this? Could someone point me in the right direction? I am thinking its a router issue?
[23:37] <KittyBoots> acicula, iKernel: it is not open office more specific, and it may be latex related
[23:37] <mgolisch> sudo deluser username?
[23:37] <jblack> matth3w: Time out, or refused?
[23:37] <iKernel> KittyBoots, I have latex boots. They fall apart really easy.
[23:38] <EntityReborn> matth3w, you have a firewall issue
[23:38] <Um_cara_qualquer> does anybody knows how can i change all folder's icon to another one using hydroxygen as principal theme?
[23:38] <acicula> matth3w: regular ip adress means
[23:38] <bastid_raZor> matth3w: that does sound like you need to forward port  22 to the internal IP of the ubuntu box
[23:38] <matth3w> maybe it is refused
[23:38] <jblack> if it's a timeout, it's definitey a firewall. if it's refused, it's eitehr a timeout, or you haven't configured ssh to listen on the public interface.
[23:38] <sleight> just installed xchat and ccsm.  any other things i should play with?
[23:38] <matth3w> okay i will try that when i get home
[23:38] <jblack> pardon if it's refused, its' either a firewall, or you haven't configured...
[23:39] <bastid_raZor> matth3w: also you ISP may block 22. some ISP's do some don't.
[23:39] <nytek_> sleight: ncmpc and irssi
[23:39] <nytek_> sleight: <3
[23:39] <matth3w> okay
[23:39] <matth3w> thank you for all the responses ;)
[23:40] <bastid_raZor> matth3w: if that is the case you can have ssh listen to multiple ports by adding the other port in /etc/.ssh/sshd_config
[23:40] <jblack> I wonder if I can use init=/bin/sh
[23:40] <bastid_raZor> matth3w: you will need to restart ssh or reboot. both work.
[23:41] <magyar> hi, is there a bot?
[23:41] <matth3w> okay thank you bastid_raZor
[23:41] <boingolov> I have two nic's, both are using dhcp client for now to connect, but the problem is that both try to set the default route and it screws up routing
[23:41] <boingolov> how can I configure the /etc/network/interfaces so that it ignores the default route returned from the dhcp server on eth1?
[23:41] <KittyBoots> iKernel: I am looking for software similar to http://www.lyx.org/AboutLyX but more for novel writing.
[23:42] <boingolov> will I have to modify the dhclient.conf file ?
[23:43] <zzzxzzz> i want to upgrade ubuntu Beta 9.10 to full version
[23:43] <acicula> boingolov: cant you specify that in the interfaces file?
[23:43] <zzzxzzz> i want to upgrade ubuntu Beta 9.10 to full version
[23:43] <acicula> boingolov: man interfaces
[23:43] <k0d3g3ar> is it me or dos flash suck on Linux?
[23:43] <lstarnes> zzzxzzz: it should automatically update to the release version when you update its packages
[23:43] <nytek_> zzzxzzz: apt-get upgrade?
[23:43] <Cyber_Akuma_2> Anybody here ever used the ata module in grub2 instead of the bios module?
[23:44] <zzzxzzz> apt-get ???????
[23:44] <boingolov> acicula, I've been looking at that man page
[23:44] <sburwood> I ve a good question.  Aside from using usb-creator, what else do I need to do to create a bootable usb stick? I've tried two.  One says that the operating system is missing, and the other says that the partition is damaged
[23:44] <magyar> hi, is the video bug for karmic fixed (464591)?
[23:44] <zzzxzzz> what is this sorry
[23:44] <lstarnes> zzzxzzz: the package manager
[23:44] <hedkandi> I don't know but my "users and groups" tool won't delete a user!
[23:44] <hedkandi> how rubbish!
[23:44] <sburwood> am I forgetting something?
[23:44] <zzzxzzz> or where can i find?
[23:44] <lstarnes> zzzxzzz: enter this in a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:45] <boingolov> doesn't look like it allows you to tell it exactly what to request from dhclient , but I can probably override that in the dhclient.conf
[23:45] <lstarnes> zzzxzzz: that will automatically update the package database then install the newest versions of all the packages that are installed
[23:45] <sburwood> noone knows?
[23:46] <zzzxzzz> thank
[23:47] <xover> hi all
[23:47] <hikenboot> can anyone point me to the most current directons for setting up a ubuntu chroot on a ubuntu powerpc system.. I seem to fail every time using directions for installing x86 arch on this platform
[23:47] <sburwood> thank you for not helping me everyone
[23:48] <xover> I have a major usb issue, when copying a large file, my system load shoots from 1 to 10 and the xfer slows down to a snails pace
[23:48] <xover> what is happening here? there are no messages in dmesg
[23:48] <hedkandi> how would I change my identity at a bash shell?
[23:49] <erUSUL> hedkandi: change identity?
[23:49] <hedkandi> be a different user
[23:49] <vici0us> how do i know which driver my wirelesscard is currently using?
[23:49] <erUSUL> hedkandi: "su newuser"
[23:49] <erUSUL> vici0us: lshw -C Network
[23:50] <vici0us> erUSUL: ty
[23:52] <yuanmin> hi, am i in room "#ubuntu"?
[23:52] <LjL> yuanmin: yes
[23:52] <sebsebseb> yuanmin: yes
[23:52] <yuanmin> thanks, :)
[23:52] <Myrth> hi, trustguard returned a report that Apache 2.2.11 has security vulnerabilities and to pass the test i need to upgrade to 2.2.12, but the latest upgrade that was available few days ago is 2.2.11-2ubuntu2.5 - does any one know if this last update contains the security fix even though it's not 2.2.12?
[23:53] <hedkandi> how do you stop being su someone?
[23:53] <LjL> hedkandi: "exit"
[23:53] <Mazn> hi, i have blocked a friend with pidgin, how do i do to unblock him?
[23:53] <yuanmin> hi i want to ask why my ubuntu 9.10 continue ask me the key of my wifi when i have already connected to my wifi?
[23:53] <hedkandi> cool
[23:54] <hedkandi> can you enter like su root?
[23:54] <LjL> !root
[23:54] <aron_> Hello I'm new to linux, is it true that user and root passwords only matters for physical access?
[23:54] <hedkandi> sudo is a pain!
[23:54] <LjL> aron_: uhm, what do you mean?
[23:54] <LjL> hedkandi: why?
[23:54] <hedkandi> cos you have to keep entering your passwd
[23:55] <LjL> hedkandi: not true.
[23:55] <LjL> hedkandi: 1) by default, sudo is configured to not ask the password again for about 15 minutes
[23:55] <aron_> Well why does ubuntu tell me to have a six character password that I have to enter all the time
[23:55] <LjL> hedkandi: 2) you can type "sudo -i" and then go on with your commands, if you know that you'll need to be root for a while
[23:55] <hedkandi> 15 mins isn't much time
[23:55] <hedkandi> When I'm on a fedora system I just login as root! it's so much easier.
[23:55] <LjL> hedkandi: it can be changed, although it seems plenty of time to me
[23:56] <yuanmin> why my ubuntu 9.10 continue ask me the key of my wifi  every 5 minutes when i have already connected to my wifi?
[23:56] <LjL> hedkandi: and also so much more foolish and dangerous
[23:56] <Mazn> never mind, i just needed to rightklick
[23:56] <LjL> we don't support that here
[23:56] <Mazn> puss
[23:56] <zane> lol
[23:56] <hedkandi> LjL: the word is "convenient"
[23:56] <hedkandi> Some of us have a clue and don't do stupid things... I dunno about you.
[23:56] <Ozzah> Hi, every time I press ctrl+shift my keyboard layout changes from english to ascii. This is incredibly annoying since a bunch of my kb shortcuts use ctrl+shift+something. Does anybody know how to disable this? I never use it anyway.
[23:56] <sam_> anyone know of a web based (in a browser) face to face webcam chat that works on ubuntu? oovoo does one but I can't get the page to load
[23:56] <boingolov> this is messed up
[23:57] <helltraum> Anyone help me please, I'm trying to configure firestarter on a remote server via ssh, I run the wizard, setup rules to allow ssh but as soon as I start the firewall it severs my ssh session, it basically blocks everything no matter what rules I apply
[23:57] <LjL> hedkandi: stupid things like running an IRC client as root?
[23:57] <erUSUL> rootshell | hedkandi
[23:57] <erUSUL> !rootshell > hedkandi
[23:57] <yuanmin> why my ubuntu 9.10 ask me the password of my wifi  every 5 minutes where i have already connected to my wifi?
[23:59] <ibuclaw> helltraum, do you have *only* firestarter as the frontend interface that is ON ?
[23:59] <yuanmin> LjL: why my ubuntu 9.10 ask me the password of my wifi  every 5 minutes where i have already connected to my wifi?
[23:59] <bertmanphx> I used CZ to image a drive, then put the new drives in.  It didn't work, so when I put the old drives back, somehow grub was on them
[23:59] <aSt3raL> how do you set up secure e-mail in ubuntu?
[23:59] <bertmanphx> can anyone help me?
[23:59] <LjL> yuanmin: uh... i wouldn't know that.
[23:59] <ibuclaw> ie: ufw - the default in Ubuntu - is installed on the server edition
[23:59] <yuanmin> LjL: ok, thanks :)
[23:59] <erUSUL> aSt3raL: secure email as in OpenPGP?
[23:59] <aSt3raL> maybe?
