[00:05] <Scunizi> egalia: nothing.. ubuntu-desktop is a meta package.. won't hurt you.

[00:06] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sudo mount /dev/sdc3  /media/root
[00:07] <egalia> nice evening though to all of you
[00:07] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sudo chroot /media/root
[00:07] <losha> poisonborz: were you previously booting windows off this sata drive, or was it for data only?
[00:07] <tongaz> http://ubuntu-es
[00:08] <poisonborz> losha, data only
[00:08] <Frogging1012> I am having an issue with LTSP. When I log in, it shows a blank screen for a moment, and then goes back to the login screen. I have some errors from the syslog here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343699/
[00:08] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: sdc3 is swap, do you mean sdc1?
[00:08] <poisonborz> losha, but i tried to format and partition it several times
[00:08] <chakrit> sudo locate xorg.conf turns up nothing, is there a way to generate one?
[00:08] <epinky> poisonborz: I think you can solve that with the alternate CD
[00:08] <malev> hi, anyone here has a Lenovo Ideapad S10e??
[00:08] <tongaz> pasenmen la pagina de ubuntu-es
[00:08] <glee_club> anyone have a clue which paint program they're replacing gimp with in 10.4?
[00:08] <poisonborz> epinky, how exactly? does the alternate have more drivers?
[00:08] <mazda01> want to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, many people have success with no major show stoppers?
[00:08] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sorry, no, sdc2
[00:09] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sudo mount /dev/sdc2  /media/root
[00:09] <rocky|raccoon> Hello :> I'm using an onboard Intel HDA-based chipset for sound and no matter what I've tried, I can't get the line-in to record a thing in 9.10...anyone else had any luck?
[00:09] <EsatYuce> i have a problem to create Launchpad fingerprint.
[00:09] <rocky|raccoon> glee_club, They're not replacing it, they're just not installing it by default
[00:09] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: sdc2 is /home, do you mean sdc1?
[00:09] <vinpan> Losha: you said it was a hardware problem that my keyboard was not detecting and formating would not any good! well i formated and now its installing
[00:09] <losha> poisonborz: it's possible (likely) your bios won't boot off sata at all, in which case you'll need an IDE drive to act as the boot device
[00:10] <glee_club> rocky|raccoon:  oh i see!  o_o  ty!
[00:10] <losha> vinpan: I was obviously wrong (happens frequently)! I'm glad you got it going...
[00:10] <x86-64> is there a way I can create vertical workspaces that are connected under ubuntu netbook remix 9.10? ... that is, I can have windows partially on one workspace and the rest on another workspace below it?
[00:10] <Scunizi> losha: could poisonborz use a cdrom to boot off of? or usb? perhaps he has a 3.5" floppy drive :)
[00:10] <vinpan> thats ok:)
[00:10] <Frogging1012> I am having an issue with LTSP. When I log in, it shows a blank screen for a moment, and then goes back to the login screen. I have some errors from the syslog here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343699/ I have searched google, and have been trying to fix LTSP for weeks.
[00:10] <matts45acp> is there anyone here willing to help me setup my wireless?
[00:11] <poisonborz> losha, do you mean I can't use the sata hdd to install ubuntu on?
[00:11] <tongaz>  como voy a ubuntu-es
[00:11] <poisonborz> Scunizi, i only have usb
[00:11] <tongaz> ?
[00:11] <losha> Scunizi: poisonborz: yes, good point. I bet any of those would work...
[00:11] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: ic 20 g /root, so yes sdc1
[00:11] <vinpan> have everyone hope u get ur issues fixed later
[00:11] <epinky> poisonborz: something like that, can you boot with LiveCD right?
[00:11] <savid> Is there an easy way to install ffmpeg w/ a reasonably updated libx264?  (ie, are there any ppa's out there?)
[00:11] <linxeh> argonaut: you can put the ubuntu mini.iso on there and get a rootshell, thats all you need
[00:11] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: ok, chrooted now
[00:11] <linxeh> err
[00:11] <ankit_babbar> LDAP Server: Network Login Problems? Any one have ideas

[00:12] <losha> tongaz: tecla /join #ubuntu-es, nada mas
[00:12] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: pastebinit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:12] <poisonborz> epinky, yes, and the livecd os sees the hdd, but not the installer
[00:12] <bahaa> Hi guys
[00:12] <ctmjr> !es | tongaz
[00:12] <bahaa> is there any way to hide how is coming in and out info
[00:12] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: gotta install pastebinit in that root
[00:12] <bahaa> ????????
[00:13] <kindofabuzz> how can i make it to where the menu items list the name of the programs instead of the description?
[00:13] <ctmjr> bahaa: xchat?
[00:13] <ankit_babbar> OpenLDAP Server any ideas?
[00:13] <Frogging1012> I am having an issue with LTSP. When I log in, it shows a blank screen for a moment, and then goes back to the login screen. I have some errors from the syslog here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343699/

[00:14] <ankit_babbar> OpenLDAP Server issues some one can help?
[00:14] <linxeh> ankit_babbar: its the flux capacitor
[00:14] <ctmjr> bahaa: right click channel tap check the hide/join box
[00:14] <losha> poisonborz: you seem to have 2 problems: 1) your mobo can't boot from sata and 2) your partitioner can't see the sata drive during install. Is that right?
[00:15] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: ??
[00:15] <legend2440> bahaa: right click #ubuntu in left panel  uncheck show join
[00:15] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pastebinit/pastebinit_0.11.2-1_all.deb
[00:15] <LzrdKing> yah, DasEi1, i'm not connected to the internet in that chroot
[00:15] <Frogging101> I am having an issue with LTSP. When I log in, it shows a blank screen for a moment, and then goes back to the login screen. I have some errors from the syslog here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343699/
[00:15] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sudo dhclient
[00:16] <Scunizi> !repeat | Frogging101
[00:16] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: /proc/net/dev: No such file or directory
[00:16] <poisonborz> losha, I'm not sure about if it can boot or not
[00:16] <cistle> question concerning grub ... where is menu.lst in Karmic?
[00:16] <mazda01> want to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, many people have success with no major show stoppers?
[00:16] <bahaa> ctmjr you mean "show join/part messages" box right it worked thanks
[00:16] <ikonia> cistle: /etc/default
[00:17] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: so paste it manually
[00:17] <bahaa> but why are your nickname yellow?
[00:17] <ardchoille> !grub2 | cistle
[00:17] <linxeh> mazda01: yup, no issues on dozens of boxes
[00:17] <poisonborz> losha, but yes, the sata is missing in install, thats for sure. I'm trying to use the alternate cd now...
[00:17] <losha> poisonborz: ok, meanwhile, can you open a terminal window and run dmesg | egrep -i sd
[00:17] <bahaa> any way thanks ctmjr it's great now it was changing so fast
[00:18] <kindofabuzz> how can i make it to where the menu items list the name of the programs instead of the description?
[00:18] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: http://pastebin.com/m470927a8
[00:18] <ctmjr> bahaa: you probably have colored nicks enabled your welcome
[00:18] <mazda01> linxeh, awesome, going to be upgrading 3 boxes, 2 run 9.04 mythbuntu  and 1 runs ubuntu 9.04 with mythtv frontend installed
[00:18] <zilla1> I get the following message when I boot up http://paste.ubuntu.com/343709/ (recovery mode work, standard mode does not)
[00:18] <zilla1> should i be worried
[00:18] <zilla1> wifi works
[00:19] <bahaa> ctmjr: thanks I just want to say that every thing about ubuntu is great even chat!!
[00:19] <matts45acp> is there anyone here willing to help me setup my wireless? msg me please
[00:19] <mazda01> anyone have experience with upgrading ext3 to ext4?
[00:19] <epinky> poisonborz: hit F6 at the boot menu and go through an unguided setup. When you scan for hard drives and enter the partition manager, don't select to enable SATA when asked
[00:19] <brova> quick question: what is $PATH ? ?
[00:19] <Doonz> Hey guys can someone recommend me a text editor like vim for windows xp
[00:20] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: menu.lst ?
[00:20] <ikonia> brova: it's an enironment varible, it shows where to look for files
[00:20] <bahaa> Doonz:doesn't emacs work on windows XP?
[00:21] <kindofabuzz> Doonz, http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc
[00:21] <linxeh> mazda01: you may want to check the mythbuntu site about upgrading that; the latest mythtv might need some handholding during upgrade perhaps
[00:21] <brova> ikonia: ok thanks, i have my exam tomorrow. as much as that doesnt make sense to me i will commit it to my head lol
[00:21] <linxeh> mazda01: its very nice though :)
[00:22] <_nofear> Hi guys. Does unetbootin create a valid boot image for Ubuntu 9.10? Has anyone tested it?
[00:22] <yacc> Wondering if there is an official way how to make gdm create VNC based login session?
[00:22] <BluesKaj> Doonz, ask in #windows
[00:22] <bahaa> Doonz: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html
[00:22] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: http://pastebin.com/m258996d4
[00:22] <yacc> Not sure if I want users to fool around with Windows based XServers.
[00:23] <box> hey, i'm trying to perform a cross-compile using  i586-mingw32msvc-g++ which is supplied by the mingw package. it looks like -I/usr/include is not used by default, it's using some other specific include directory. but i'm trying to cross-compile a gtkmm app which has a bunch of deps in /usr/include . doing -I/usr/include breaks everything. is there a better place for me to ask this question or can somebody help me here?
[00:23] <chakrit> Anyone have problems with widescreen in 9.10 intel drivers? I can't access the widescreen mode and there's no xorg.conf
[00:23] <mazda01> linxeh, according to the mythbuntu site it pretty painless
[00:24] <kindofabuzz> chakrit, if you have an nvidia card just run sudo nvidia-xconfig and that will produce an xorg.conf
[00:24] <brhhas> yo yo
[00:24] <chakrit> kindofabuzz: I've got an Intel card :-( ... It's the GMA 900 one
[00:24] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: looks good, no?
[00:25] <kindofabuzz> chakrit, oh /shrug
[00:25] <mazda01> linxeh, i have read some possible issues with legacy grub after upgrade to 9.10, can't find kernel per the UUID but only the absolute path. should I just update my menu.lst's all to absolute path prior to upgrade?
[00:25] <cistle> where do I add 'acpi_osi="Linux"' to my kernel's boot parameters with grub2?
[00:25] <bahaa> guys how can I know if there is anyone in a channel or not?
[00:25] <kindofabuzz> bahaa, um the user list?
[00:25] <brhhas> !seen bahaa
[00:25] <KindOne> brhhas, bahaa is still in #ubuntu.
[00:26] <BluesKaj> bahaa, use a real irc client
[00:26] <mazda01> bahaa, what client are you using? it should say somewhere how many users and ops are logged in
[00:26] <bahaa> I'm using xchat but gnome version
[00:26] <Frogging1012> I am having an issue with LTSP. When I log in, it shows a blank screen for a moment, and then goes back to the login screen. I have some errors from the syslog here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343699/
[00:26] <Guest40511> hi, i'm not finding where i add more desktops views, can anyone tell me please?
[00:26] <ardnew_> bahaa: try /names
[00:26] <bahaa> ok
[00:26] <LzrdKing> yah, xchat-gnome sux
[00:27] <kindofabuzz> quassel rocks
[00:27] <ardnew_> you can configure it to show a nicklist, iirc
[00:27] <bastid_raZor> Guest40511: are you using compiz?
[00:27] <bahaa> it only gave me @bahaa
[00:27] <LzrdKing> but it does tell me 1354 users
[00:27] <BluesKaj> konversation isn't gnome but it's still the easiest to use IMO
[00:27] <Guest40511> bastid_raZor, yes
[00:27] <ardnew_> bahaa: then use /who
[00:27] <mazda01> bahaa, it says on the far right side of my xchat gnome. under View, check box "user list"
[00:27] <ardnew_> and look at your status window
[00:27] <linxeh> mazda01: dont know; I jsut went with the upgrade and its been fine. you can always fix it later
[00:28] <bastid_raZor> Guest40511: in ccsm under general options, Desktop Size
[00:28] <linxeh> use irssi
[00:28] <matts45acp> where can ya download irssi
[00:28] <mazda01> linxeh, true, that's what I love about linux live distro's. i heard it's a lot harder to edit grub 2 now though since it uses a .cfg file
[00:28] <matts45acp> ?
[00:28] <bahaa> mazda01: do you mean the view list which is with file,edit..etc
[00:28] <bahaa> ?????
[00:29] <ikonia> matts45acp: it's in the ubuntu repos, open synaptic and search for irrsi
[00:29] <mazda01> bahaa, yes
[00:29] <linxeh> mazda01: you can always boot a rescue image, mount your fs, chroot to it, and reinstall grub
[00:29] <LzrdKing> mazda01: there is no show user list in View
[00:30] <Frogging1012> I am having an issue with LTSP. When I log in, it shows a blank screen for a moment, and then goes back to the login screen. I have some errors from the syslog here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343699/
[00:30] <bastid_raZor> matts45acp: also check out http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi .. very helpful and informative guide
[00:30] <cistle> where do I add 'acpi_osi="Linux"' to my kernel's boot parameters with grub2?
[00:30] <bahaa> there are only "prev network,next network,prev discussion,next discussion and sidebars with check box next to it" (the last one)
[00:30] <mazda01> LzrdKing, i am running Xchat 2.8.6 and there is in mine. are you saying that there is another program for gnome called xchat gnome? i thought he meant that he was running xchat under gnome
[00:30] <bahaa> mazda01
[00:30] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: still with me?
[00:30] <mazda01> bahaa, /names also works for me
[00:31] <bahaa> no
[00:31] <bahaa> ok
[00:31] <cistle> xchat and xchat-gnome two different things
[00:31] <bahaa> there is a version called xchat-gnome
[00:31] <DasEi1> LzrdKing:  yes, reading
[00:31] <matts45acp> should i install the irssi-deb too
[00:31] <mazda01> cistle, k, sorry. didn't realize that
[00:31] <ikonia> matts45acp: no
[00:31] <matts45acp> or just the irssi
[00:31] <bahaa> ok I think /names works
[00:31] <kindofabuzz> xchat-gnome is regular xchat with less features. well more noobish actually. i guess has all the features
[00:31] <ikonia> matts45acp: open synaptic package manager in ubuntu - search for irssi, install it from there
[00:31] <ikonia> !synaptic > matts45acp
[00:32] <cistle> Is this IRC help or Ubuntu help?
[00:32] <ikonia> !software > matts45acp
[00:32] <kindofabuzz> install quassel, but requires kde stuff
[00:32] <mazda01> cistle, ubuntu help. HA HA
[00:32] <bahaa> ikonia: thanks but it's my first time and I like every thing about gnome
[00:32] <epinky> poisonborz: you can try something before that, are you already using alternate ?
[00:32] <Obamacide> suggested size for swap file on UNR dell mini10v netbook installation (netbook as 1g ram)????
[00:32] <ikonia> bahaa: I didn't say anything about not using gnome ???
[00:33] <bahaa> ikonia: that's right
[00:33] <songer> hello. i want to download videos from youtube
[00:33] <bahaa> but I like that it has gnome with it's name
[00:33] <ikonia> bahaa: I don't understand your comment to me
[00:33] <DasEi1> LzrdKing:  so .. if you got chrooted right, : ls                          will show all your dies, like /boot /lib/ and so on
[00:33] <wolter> hey kinja-sheep, you still here? Sorry for bothering you again, but I wanted to take advantage and ask you how'd you get your microphone working
[00:33] <DasEi1> dirs*
[00:33] <Rolcol> Does the desktop install disk give the option to use encryption + lvm?
[00:33] <bahaa> ikonia: never mind I only mean I don't like to change the client so fast
[00:33] <cistle> I need to pass acpi_osi="Linux" to my kernel's boot parameters, but cant figure out where to add it with grub2
[00:34] <ikonia> bahaa: I didn't tell you to change client
[00:34] <Obamacide> suggested size for swap file on UNR dell mini10v netbook installation (netbook as 1g ram)????
[00:34] <ikonia> bahaa: /etc/default/grub.conf - then update-grub
[00:34] <ikonia> bahaa: sorry - not for you
[00:34] <epinky> Obamacide: 2X (2GB)
[00:34] <wolter> kinja-sheep, is that since I reinstalled all this pulseaudio stuff I got things messed up, plus the volume control is so different and lacks certain things the older versions had
[00:34] <ikonia> cistle: /etc/default/grub.conf - then update-grub
[00:34] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: yes, it does
[00:34] <mizan> hello guys
[00:34] <Obamacide> epinky you mean twice the physical ram?
[00:35] <bahaa> ikonia: thanks for helping I now understand

[00:35] <mizan> can you help me to install jokosher
[00:35] <poisonborz> epinky, I can't get the alternate cd working on a usb drive... the ultraiso app that works with the livecd is not working with the alternate iso
[00:35] <epinky> Obamacide: yeah, it's a bit arbitrary but it's common to use that as a parameter
[00:35] <bahaa> mizan: go to synaptic package manager
[00:35] <bahaa> and look for it
[00:36] <bahaa> there
[00:36] <epinky> poisonborz: ok, boot LiveCD
[00:36] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: exit

[00:36] <poisonborz> epinky, umm, and then?

[00:36] <mizan> If this problem persists consider reporting a bug using the link in the help menu.
[00:36] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: now what?
[00:36] <ikonia> bllz: no

[00:36] <Guest23016> I cant start my xserver without it frezzing in 10 min or so
[00:37] <mizan> can you fix that
[00:37] <poisonborz> epinky, you said i should use alternate installer

[00:37] <mazda01> mattgyver, irssi in a atl-f2 box or from the terminal.
[00:37] <epinky> poisonborz: yes, but we can try something before that, do you want to?

[00:37] <bahaa> mizan: I found jokosher in synaptic
[00:37] <ikonia> bllz: lvm is not common for the majority of home users
[00:38] <mizan> yes
[00:38] <Guest23016> guys
[00:38] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: make sure back in live, so /sdc1 mounted on /media/root
[00:38] <bllz> yeah i guess not...
[00:38] <Guest23016> can you guys see me?
[00:38] <mizan> i have install jokosher
[00:38] <poisonborz> epinky, sure... what should i do after booting into livecd?
[00:38] <cdocbo> is it just me, or is the new "ubuntu software center" horrible?  Can I get the old view back somehow?  I'd like to select more then one app at a time to install...
[00:38] <bllz> yep we see you
[00:38] <DasEi1> Guest23016: y
[00:38] <bahaa> yes Geust23016
[00:38] <bllz> DasEi1:  he's testing his invisibility program
[00:38] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: it does; i thought you had something after "mount" i couldn't see
[00:38] <mizan> but when i'm record my voice the message like this "GStreamer encountered a general resource error.
[00:38] <mizan> If this problem persists consider reporting a bug using the link in the help menu."
[00:38] <Guest23016> ok, my ubuntu keeps freezing after 10   min of boot
[00:38] <epinky> poisonborz: ok, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get remove dmraid
[00:38] <Guest23016> on the xserver
[00:38] <mazda01> legacy2k, for sure!! linux is easy to learn with ubuntu forums and just diving into it
[00:38] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda
[00:39] <mizan> but when i'm record my voice the message like this "GStreamer encountered a general resource error.
[00:39] <bllz> legacy2k:  i think you'll like it here ;-)
[00:39] <pspfreak> what should I do?
[00:39] <poisonborz> epinky, (please write down the process, i have to re-wire the monitor)
[00:39] <mizan> but when i'm record my voice the message like this "GStreamer encountered a general resource error.
[00:40] <Akiraa> Is there a light version of ubuntu that can be configured remotely via a web interface?
[00:40] <mizan> but when i'm record my voice the message like this "GStreamer encountered a general resource error.
[00:40] <ctmjr> mizan: i do not know how to fix your problem but when i get an error like that i google the error and most times find a fix or at least a known bug report
[00:40] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: i got "grub-probe: error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map'" but then "Installation finished. No error reported."
[00:40] <bllz> Akiraa:  what do you mean by "light"?  there's xubuntu, but there's also ubuntu server and ubuntu minimal
[00:40] <pspfreak> @Afiraa, there is a special alternate "light" version of the install for ubuntu
[00:40] <bllz> Akiraa:  and you can install webmin to any one of them
[00:40] <pspfreak> never mind
[00:40] <ikonia> webmin is not supported
[00:40] <ardchoille> !webmin | bllz  Akiraa
[00:40] <ikonia> the package has been discontinued
[00:40]  * epinky typing in pastebin
[00:41] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda --recheck
[00:41] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: there is no /boot/grub/ directory
[00:41] <LzrdKing> ahh
[00:41] <bllz> ardchoille:  oh no!
[00:41] <mizan> ctmjr: if this is a bug?
[00:41] <pspfreak> this started happening shortly after I got xampp
[00:41] <bllz> Akira:  okay, make that ebox instead
[00:41] <mizan> have anyone use jokosher
[00:42] <mizan> have anyone use jokosher
[00:42] <bllz> !jokosher|bllz

[00:42] <FloodBot4> mizan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:42] <wolter> !spam | mizan
[00:42] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: i still got "grub-probe: error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map'" but then "Installation finished. No error reported." and now the map shos fd0 which it did not before
[00:42] <bllz> !patience|mizan

[00:43] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sudo reboot, (no cd)
[00:43] <bllz> Elmaron:  we hit hard and fast here.  we keep it real.
[00:43] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: ok, brb (hopefully)
[00:43] <jack_> who can tell me about a channel about java developing
[00:43] <DasEi1> XD
[00:43] <pspfreak> how can I uninstall xampp via command line?
[00:43] <mazda01> is it possible to upgrade a 32 bit system of 9.04 to a 9.10 64 bit system
[00:43] <bllz> pspfreak:  sudo apt-get remove xampp, assuming it's a .deb package installed from a repo
[00:43] <mizan> so what i supposed to do
[00:43] <bllz> mazda01:  no
[00:44] <pspfreak> no, it was compiled
[00:44] <bllz> pspfreak:  hmm... i actually have no idea then, sorry
[00:44] <Akiraa> !ebox
[00:44] <cdocbo> pspfreak, try sudo make uninstall
[00:44] <ardchoille> pspfreak: you can try and see if the makefile has an uninstall option: sudo make uninstall
[00:44] <mazda01> bllz, k, i'll have to backup all config files and /home and turn my C2D to a 64 bit OS
[00:44] <mizan> ????
[00:44] <pspfreak> I already said, I compiled it. I didn't have a .deb
[00:44] <Akiraa> bllz, ardchoille: thanks
[00:44] <pspfreak> I have tryed removing and re inserting my ram too
[00:45] <bllz> Akiraa:  np, good luck!
[00:45] <mazda01> bllz, is it worth it for video editing? that's the most taxing thing i do on this box

[00:46] <mazda01> bahaa, HA!
[00:46] <mizan> is there any software like garageband?
[00:46] <pspfreak> I know it is installed at the /opt/lampp directory

[00:47] <SuperID> I'm trying to update f-spot from 0.5 to 0.6.   I think jaunty universe is installed.   I did apt-get update then upgrade but f-spot does not update.   what am I missing?
[00:47] <bllz> pspfreak:  rmdir /path/to/dir
[00:47] <mazda01> mizan, yes, Jokosher
[00:47] <pspfreak> ok
[00:47] <bllz> pspfreak:  sudo may or may not be required
[00:47] <linux0g> where are all my linux users?
[00:47] <bllz> linux0g:  derp...
[00:47] <bahaa> mizan: have you tried synaptic for Jokosher?
[00:47] <iceroot_> linux0g: /etc/passwd
[00:48] <iceroot_> linux0g: see all (also ldap and so on) with  getent passwd
[00:48] <bllz> linux0g;  oh wow... i totally misread that
[00:48] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: This error is returned if the boot attempt did not succeed for reasons which are unknown  , huh
[00:48] <ardchoille> SuperID: you already have the highest version of f-spot installed
[00:48] <pspfreak> Well, I am running the recovery mode  root terminal, as It will  freeze with xampp   installed
[00:48] <mizan> not working in my ubuntu
[00:48] <bllz> linux0g:  i thought you were giving a shoutout lol
[00:48] <iceroot_> pspfreak: dont use xamp
[00:48] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: can you d/l and burn a cd ?
[00:48]  * bllz hides in shame
[00:48] <iceroot_> pspfreak: use   sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin
[00:48] <pspfreak> @iceroot_ ???
[00:48] <Catty> ugh... getting disconnected right after I asked a question.. heh
[00:48] <bahaa> mizan: synaptic not working?
[00:48] <mizan> no
[00:48] <iceroot_> pspfreak: xampp is something for windows-users. linux-users are using good software
[00:48] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, you mean do a reinstall with a freshly downloaded image?
[00:49] <mizan> the jokosher
[00:49] <SuperID> ardchoille:   so you're saying that the latest ver of f-spot (0.6.1.5) is not in jaunty universe?
[00:49] <SuperID> I guess I can build from source
[00:49] <ardchoille> SuperID: exactly
[00:49] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: nope, another try
[00:49] <iceroot_> !info f-spot jaunty
[00:49] <pspfreak> xampp also has a linux, windows, mac, and solaris versions
[00:49] <SuperID> k ty
[00:49] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, the iso i have passes the md5sum check
[00:49] <mizan> always stop and says "Gstreamer error"
[00:49] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: can you d/l and burn a cd ?
[00:49] <bahaa> mizan: ok then I'm sorry I can't help!!
[00:49] <iceroot_> pspfreak: yes, use sudo apt-get.. i told you and not xampp
[00:49] <Catty> For the record, this is on a computer which I currently can't get connected to the net.. which is why I want to download the packages on a different system.. but for some reason the isos don't work well. :(
[00:49] <iceroot_> pspfreak: always use software from the repos, not from websites
[00:49] <cdocbo> is it just me, or is the new "ubuntu software center" horrible?  Can I get the old view/version back somehow?  I'd like to select more then one app at a time to install...
[00:50] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, to burn it to a new cd and boot that cd? or boot the cd again?
[00:50] <iceroot_> cdocbo: try apt-get
[00:50] <bllz> cdocbo:  yeah search in the software center for "add/remove software"
[00:50] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: can you d/l and burn a cd ? simply y or n ?
[00:50] <xbunty> hi all how would i install the java update via terminal
[00:50] <bahaa> cdocbo: you can
[00:50] <pspfreak> @iceroot I am not re installing anything. Xampp is for windows too. Or it is called lampp
[00:50] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, yes, i can
[00:50] <ardchoille> xbunty: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:50] <iceroot_> pspfreak: then used it... but its bad
[00:51] <jchavez> anybody know good howto about samba in ubuntu 9.10
[00:51] <cdocbo> bllz, thanks, what I wanted.
[00:51] <pspfreak> how can I get out of the irc  command in terminal?
[00:51] <bahaa> welcome
[00:51] <bahaa> good you found it
[00:51] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_0.9799.iso
[00:51] <mazda01> how do you upgrade from a terminal again?
[00:51] <VCoolio> xbunty: as above, but that will install all available updates; for only java just 'apt-get install blah' again to update, else it will give a message "already installed"
[00:51] <pspfreak> @iceroot, I used it when I had mepis linux, and it worked fine
[00:52] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: this is an automated live cd for restoring grub, that should fix the issue round device.map
[00:52] <iceroot_> pspfreak: again. its very bad. use original-softzware from the repo not a distribution from a website
[00:52] <ardchoille> mazda01: upgrade to Karmic? or upgrade your system software?
[00:52] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: also you got  a recovery parti on sda1 , which might conflict with grub
[00:52] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, ok, give me afew minutes
[00:52] <pspfreak> @iceroot btw,  I have hosting. Do you even know what lampp is? It is the easy installer of all the stuff you said.
[00:52] <iceroot_> pspfreak: no automatic security updates for a webserver is bad
[00:52] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: sure
[00:53] <mazda01> ardchoille, to 9.10 from 9.04, sorry, meant to say dist upgrade
[00:53] <iceroot_> pspfreak: lampp =  sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 phpmyadmin   thats all and you have a lampp
[00:53] <ardchoille> !upgrade | mazda01
[00:53] <pspfreak> @iceroot, It was going to be for a local media server, not awebsite
[00:53] <mazda01> ardchoille, i already tried sudo aptitude dist-upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and neither worked
[00:53] <pspfreak> anyway. I don't care anyway.
[00:53] <ardchoille> mazda01: because that is not the proper way to upgrade
[00:53] <matts45acp> is there anyone here willing to help me setup my wireless? msg me please
[00:53] <pspfreak> I'm fine. Have a host I can use
[00:53] <wolter> can somebody help me with my m1530 microphone? It won't record with pulseaudio
[00:53] <iceroot_> pspfreak: sad if you dont care about good hints
[00:53] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, the recovery partition is some dell utilities, really only needed when the computer is still under warranty, so it can go if necessary
[00:54] <bllz> matt45acp:  doesn't work like that.  ask your question and if we can help you, we will
[00:54] <iceroot_> pspfreak: and if you dont care about security
[00:54] <matts45acp> oh ok
[00:54] <matts45acp> sorry guys
[00:54] <bastid_raZor> !upgrade | mazda01 -- go here
[00:54] <matts45acp> didn't know
[00:54] <pspfreak> iceroot, I just dont care. I used lampp for quite a while on mepis LINUX, and it worked fine
[00:54] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: shouldn't be neccessary
[00:54] <bllz> matt45acp:  no worries =)
[00:54] <matts45acp> im new to this whole thing
[00:54] <pspfreak> anyway, mez signing off.
[00:54] <bllz> matt45acp:  the only reason is because we don't know if we can help before you ask ;-)
[00:54] <mazda01> ardchoille, my system has a gui but I only admin it thru ssh, so it's not a server install. those links don't show how to upgrade a full gui system through cli
[00:55] <mazda01> bastid_raZor, nope, those links aren't corrext
[00:55] <VCoolio> mazda01: is do-release-upgrade what you're looking for?
[00:55] <mazda01> bastid_raZor, i want to upgrade dists over ssh
[00:55] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: make sure you d/l a grub version below 1.0 , like given 9799, no 1.0 or above
[00:55] <mazda01> VCoolio, i don;'t know, let me check
[00:55] <JackTIM> Hello, anyone in here familiar with japanese input methods for ubuntu?
[00:56] <pspfreak> Allright, I tryed rmdir /opt/lampp, and it gave me a directory not empty
[00:56] <trism> JackTIM: what's your question?
[00:56] <matts45acp> anyone here familar with a realtek 8101e
[00:56] <Gnarwal> dvd
[00:56] <iceroot_> !anyone | matts45acp
[00:56] <JackTIM> trism: I'm trying to get a japanese input method to work on here. And I'm so far unsuccessful... I would like to be able to type in japanese kana and kanji.
[00:56] <iceroot_> pspfreak: rm -rf /opt/lampp
[00:56] <LaireTM> How i change in the terminal the language from german to english?
[00:56] <pspfreak> thanks
[00:57] <trism> JackTIM: is this on ubuntu 9.10?
[00:57] <JackTIM> Yes.
[00:57] <matts45acp> !anyone here familar with a realtek 8101e
[00:57] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, can it be burned to a cd-rw?
[00:57] <pspfreak> Well, it removed. I will try booting into xserver
[00:58] <cn28h> hi ubottu
[00:58] <LaireTM> How i change in the terminal the language from german to english?
[00:58] <epinky> matts45acp: just ask
[00:58] <mazda01> VCoolio, nope, that doesn't do it either. I want to upgrade a full gui ubuntu through the terminal. I supose I could forward X over ssh
[00:58] <Gnarwal> why are there so many software manager GUIs that come with 9.10?
[00:58] <iceroot_> !locale | LaireTM
[00:58] <mazda01> VCoolio, and run update-manager -d
[00:58] <matts45acp> anyone here familar with a realtek 8101e
[00:58] <hesco> I'm moving a friend's site from an ftp-enabled server to an scp-enabled server.  He is cli-averse.  Is their a gui scp client which will do for him on his ubuntu box, what winscp will do on his windows partition?
[00:59] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: sure
[00:59] <iceroot_> LaireTM: i thing locale was also the language
[00:59] <trism> JackTIM: System/Administration/Language support, install all the japanese language packs and input methods, and select ibus as the input method, then configure ibus with System/Preferences/Ibus Preferences (you'll want to set Anthy to the first input method), then restart, after that you can start anthy with ctrl+enter
[00:59] <VCoolio> mazda01: sorry; I thought that was the command to upgrade ubuntu version; but don't know nothing about ssh stuff
[00:59] <skynet> someone can help me?
[00:59] <iceroot_> matts45acp: again, post a real question
[00:59] <bastidrazor>   P"|MD
[00:59] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: or if you got a running sys , also to a usb stick
[00:59] <iceroot_> !ask | skynet
[00:59] <JackTIM> trism: alright. Try it in just a second. Thanks!
[00:59] <skynet> how can i put the real transpency on the dock bar?
[01:00] <Billiard> Gnarwal: there are only 2 arent there?
[01:00] <srdjan> i need to see what kind of drivers i have in my pc
[01:00] <trism> JackTIM: also in case the language bar doesn't show up, you can configure hotkeys to switch between hiragana/katakana/latin in /usr/lib/ibus-anthy/ibus-setup-anthy
[01:00] <srdjan> how to do that in ubuntu 9.10 ?
[01:01] <Billiard> srdjan: what kind of drivers?
[01:01] <srdjan> for graphic gard
[01:01] <srdjan> nVidia 9600 ?
[01:01] <skynet> no one know?
[01:02] <Billiard> srdjan: you can probably check the xorg log
[01:02] <srdjan> please step bu step i am only 2 days in ubuntu ?
[01:02] <srdjan> in terminal?
[01:02] <JackTIM> restarting. now, save that advice for me trism... be right back.

[01:05] <VCoolio> srdjan: ah, sorry, that's just card, not driver; let me check again
[01:05] <Gnarwal> are there any printer/scanner wrapper programs that can run Lexmark printers?
[01:05] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: hi

[01:06] <OttifantSir1> Can someone help me get my mic working? When I try to set the preferences for webcam, speakers and mic in aMSN 0.97.2, it always gets stuck at the mic. It freezes. I have no problems recording sound with Sound Recorder. Could it be because I installed aMSN 0.98 from an autopackage, and the configs don't match?
[01:06] <Billiard> nvme: 2-5 are all the same in ubuntu i think
[01:06] <ctmjr> srdjan: VCoolio command will get your card in run this in a terminal to get the driver being used egrep "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:06] <Gnarwal> !printer
[01:06] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: What's the problem now, Grub something?
[01:06] <skynet> Someone know how to put the real tranpenrency on the Dock bar?
[01:06] <nvme> Billiard, im looking to mount ntfs drives with a delay (dont want them in fstab), so would rc.local be appropriate for that ?
[01:07] <bllz> skynet:  do you have compositing enabled?
[01:07] <mazda01> so i just found out you can't run update-manager over a forwarded X session over ssh
[01:07] <skynet> yes everything
[01:07] <Billiard> nvme: it could work, why do you need a delay
[01:07] <cgkades> mazda01: why? i think i've done it before
[01:08] <cdocbo> mazda01, are you using gksudo instead of sudo?
[01:08] <nvme> Billiard, i have like 5 ntfs partitions to be mounted and its killing boot time :P
[01:08] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, i did "fix boot of linux" and got Error 15: FIle not found" booting 'not lucky' SGD has NOT succeeded :(
[01:09] <JackTIM> trism: it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!
[01:09] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: Grub needs to be on your primary hard disk
[01:09] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: in the MBR
[01:09] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: then things should boot up ok, as long as the partitions are ok
[01:09] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: second, just booting it here, too
[01:09] <LizardK|ng> sebsebseb, i keep getting error 21 fromj grub stage 1.5
[01:10] <brova> what is the difference between PHP GET and POST ?
[01:10] <losha> nvme: put the mount commands into a separate script file. The call the script file from rc.local using an ampersand, so it runs in the background. That way, it won't hold up the boot process when it's slow...
[01:10] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: Did you try 9.10 on that computer?  psyical install of
[01:10] <Blehk> Has anyone setup tinydns/djbdns up on ubuntu..?
[01:10] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: not quite sure why you wanted to put 9.04 on now, it runs out of support in like October
[01:10] <LizardK|ng> sebsebseb, 9.04
[01:11] <nvme> losha, ah cool, thanks
[01:11] <Billiard> brova: different http request methods, google it
[01:11] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: yes you told me earlier you put 9.04 on, but I am wondering now why you didn't just do 9.10
[01:11] <mazda01> cgkades, nope. i just tried it. it said that the system I am running it on doesn't support it. I am trying to run ssh'd X forwared from a Mythbuntu system running 9.04 and trying it on a 9.04 ubuntu system
[01:11] <Blehk> LizardK|ng: just do a dist-upgrader if you want 9.10
[01:11] <mazda01> cdocbo, OH, DUH!!!! thanx
[01:11] <Blehk> upgrade*
[01:11] <cgkades> mazda01: what command are you using to connect?
[01:11] <edbian> where can I find support for open suse>>
[01:11] <LizardK|ng> sebsebseb, i have 9.10 on a laptop and i wish i could go back
[01:11] <Edgar1> hello, a friend of mine have installed and reinstalled like 3 times ubuntu and kubuntu in his PC in Windows
[01:11] <Billiard> mazda01: can you upgrade from the command line?
[01:12] <Edgar1> the first time was great
[01:12] <iceroot_> edbian: #opensuse #freenode google, opensuse.com
[01:12] <LizardK|ng> Blehk, assuming i could boot the system
[01:12] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: if you upgrade 9.04 to 9.10,  that Grub legacy that has been put on, won't get upgrade to Grub 2,  which is ok really if it all works, but if you then want to put Grub 2 on later on hmm
[01:12] <cgkades> mazda01: have you tried to run other programs?
[01:12] <Edgar1> but now in kubuntu he cant update
[01:12] <edbian> iceroot_, What irc server?
[01:12] <Blehk> LizardK|ng: what's the error you're getting?
[01:12] <iceroot_> edbian: this
[01:12] <Edgar1> and in ubuntu he cant start user session
[01:12] <Edgar1> what to do?
[01:12] <edbian> iceroot_, Thanks! :)
[01:12] <iceroot_> edbian: join #freenode and ask there, this is ubuntu support
[01:12] <Hilikus> if i have a working system and i boot with a livecd and install something, does it get installed in my harddrive or just in memory?
[01:12] <LizardK|ng> Blehk, grub state 1.5, error 21
[01:12] <LizardK|ng> stage
[01:12] <Billiard> !enter | Edgar1
[01:12] <iceroot_> Hilikus: memory
[01:12] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: yes 9.10 has been a bad release for many of us,  but what's up with your lap top with 9.10 on?
[01:13] <mazda01> Billiard, if I knew how i would have done that
[01:13] <mazda01> cgkades, ssh -X 192.168.0.5
[01:13] <Billiard> mazda01: do-release-upgrade
[01:13] <ardchoille> Hilikus: the livecd doesn't touch the installed system unless you explicitly tell it to
[01:13] <iceroot_> Hilikus: only if you choose install ubuntu in the live-cd session, your hdd will be touched
[01:13] <losha> Hilikus: just in memory, unless you take special steps to update the on-disk system...
[01:13] <Blehk> LizardK|ng: you have a windows cd? fixboot and fixmbr should get you on your feet
[01:13] <AfroMan> hello. I was wondering which might be the best linux distro for me. I'm a newbie and looking for a distro easy to use, with a lot of drivers
[01:13] <mazda01> Billiard, tried that. didn't work
[01:13] <matts45acp> can someone here find me the right driver to use with ndiswrapper for a realtek 8101
[01:13] <Hilikus> thanks guys
[01:13] <Edgar1> ubottu it would be a long line
[01:13] <Billiard> mazda01: whats the error?
[01:13] <LizardK|ng> sebsebseb, i can't run boxee on it anymore, but it's fine let's not address that now, i just wanted to put 9.04 on the desktop
[01:13] <iceroot_> AfroMan: why not trying ubuntu?
[01:13] <Blehk> without windows, you can:
[01:13] <iceroot_> !download | AfroMan
[01:14] <Blehk> install-mbr -i n -p D -t 0 /dev/your-hard-drive (example) /dev/sda
[01:14] <LizardK|ng> Blehk, no windows cd, at least, not one i can find
[01:14] <mazda01> Billiard, no error, it just says that only 3 packages will be removed and nothing about an dist-upgrade
[01:14] <Billiard> Edgar1: "cant update" ? elaborate
[01:14] <losha> AfroMan: in my personal experience, linux mint has the fewest problems out-of-the-box...
[01:14] <JackTIM> Can anyone help me figure out the multiscreen video settings? I'm using the nvidia utility to setup my laptop to display one image on my tv, and a different desktop on my screen for my laptop. However, when I move from the screen to the tv, the mouse gets caught on the TV screen and won't shift back to the laptop screen.
[01:14] <Blehk> LizardK|ng: use the command I just threw you then, boot up with the usb/dvd installer with ubuntu
[01:14] <Blehk> and run that command on your hd
[01:14] <dabomb69> How can you force Ubuntu to flush DNS?
[01:15] <Blehk> assuming you have grub setup properly, you'll be up and running in a hot second
[01:15] <AfroMan> I'm more worried about drivers... hdmi, bluetooth, graphic
[01:15] <Edgar1> in ubuntu he cant start session
[01:15] <Billiard> dabomb69: i dont think ubuntu has a dns cache by default, but not positive
[01:15] <dabomb69> Oh, ok.
[01:15] <mazda01> Billiard, i got it working by gksudo update-manager so I am good to go.
[01:15] <Edgar1> in kubuntu he cant update or install new programs
[01:15] <Billiard> Edgar1: why cant he?
[01:15] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, could this be part of the problem? i had sgd show me the partitions and its showing sdc as 0k
[01:15] <Edgar1> not sure he is using it in Windows
[01:15] <Billiard> mazda01: ok cool
[01:15] <poisonborz> epinky, THAT DID IT! thanks a lot!!!! the pc will be a christmas present for my parents, and I was stuck with this problem for days..... thanks!
[01:15] <losha> dabomb69: usually there's no dns cacheing so there's no cache to flush. What problem are you trying to solve?
[01:16] <Billiard> Edgar1: well if you dont know what errors he is getting or anything, we cant help
[01:16] <maco> Edgar1: is he using kpackagekit or the command line?
[01:16] <Edgar1> kpackagekit
[01:16] <maco> Edgar1: install synaptic for him through the command line
[01:16] <dabomb69> losha, just wondering...
[01:16] <maco> Edgar1: kpk has issues
[01:16] <poisonborz> epinky, will this method also work for kubuntu?
[01:16] <AfroMan> losha, I'm more worried about drivers... hdmi, bluetooth, graphic
[01:16] <nvme> anyone know how to remove the setuid bit from the ntfs-3g binary ?
[01:17] <kinja-sheep> AfroMan: I can confirm that HDMI, bluetooth, and graphic worked fine for me.
[01:17] <skynet> anybody know how to put the real transpenrency on the dockbar?
[01:17] <AfroMan> kinja-sheep, which distro?
[01:17] <epinky> poisonborz: yay!, glad you've made it, maybe, you should try :)
[01:17] <kinja-sheep> AfroMan: This distro.
[01:17] <ubuntu> hello AfroMan
[01:17] <edbian> skynet, The real transparency?  Is there fake transparency?
[01:17] <ubuntu> you again
[01:18] <skynet> yeas...
[01:18] <skynet> i have ubuntu 9.10
[01:18] <Billiard> skynet: gnomes default taskbar might not be able to do it
[01:18] <cgkades> are multiple desktops totaly disabled in 9.10 remix?
[01:18] <bllz> edibian:  yeah, there's the transparrency that shows the desktop and then there's fully composited transparency
[01:18] <edbian> cgkades, UNR does not place nice with compiz.
[01:18] <rj1> ok I may have done something stupid. I did sudo mv example.txt /dev/null. Did it throw away the file or did I fuck something up?
[01:18] <losha> AfroMan: ubuntu & mint (and many others) have live-cds, basically try-before-you-commit. The don't even touch your disk. Just download, burn and run. If everything works, then you can opt to install....
[01:19] <Seeker`> rj1: watch your language pelase
[01:19] <Blehk> rj1: goodbye example.txt
[01:19] <dtrzG> how can i register my nickname ?
[01:19] <cgkades> edbian: kinda figured the way it was set up that it wouldnt have them.. oh well
[01:19] <rj1> my apologies Seeker`
[01:19] <brixius>  /msg nickserv identify algt01
[01:19] <edbian> skynet, Are you talking about the transparency on the terminal?
[01:19] <rj1> Blehk so everything is fine right?
[01:19] <skynet> no xD
[01:19] <skynet> on the dock bar
[01:19] <edbian> cgkades, I don't think they're disabled entirely.  Not really sure
[01:19] <dassouki> i just bought a new computer with windows seven, it comes with no cd drive or recovery cd. I was wondering if i can partition my windows in a way to keep my recovery drive and be able to install linux
[01:19] <nvme> anyone know how to remove the setuid bit from the ntfs-3g binary ?
[01:19] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: grub up in vbox now ,
[01:19] <edbian> skynet, I don't think I can help you :(  Sorry bud
[01:19] <Seeker`> dramz: /msg chanserv help register
[01:20] <skynet> ok thx
[01:20] <cgkades> edbian: i looked for the actual command gnome-??? something... but didnt see anything that would bring up the properties
[01:20] <Blehk> rj1: your text is gone... but that's it. /dev/null -> discards everything
[01:20] <Seeker`> dtrzG: /msg chanserv help register
[01:20] <ctmjr> brixius: now would be a good time to change your password
[01:20] <cambazz> is there a way to wake up an ubuntu machine from suspend mode, like so i can use my laptop as some kind of alarm clock
[01:20] <AfroMan> losha, I will try so then. I was just wondering which one is newbie friendly
[01:20] <ctmjr> brixius: sorry am not reading everything
[01:20] <rj1> Blehk thanks very much just making sure and Seeker` once again my apologies
[01:21] <Blehk> rj1: think of /dev/null as a black hole.
[01:21] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: reboot grub, no help >>
[01:21] <srdjan> There is no application installed for shared library files ??? please help me ?
[01:21] <losha> dassouki: there's usually a way to backup the recovery partition. Try #windows for more details....
[01:21] <Blehk> srdjan: you have to be more explicit with the question
[01:21] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, does the help interfere?
[01:21] <kinja-sheep> AfroMan: Ubuntu is popular because it is very friendly. You're encouraged to try it.
[01:21] <nvme> anyone know how to remove the setuid bit from the ntfs-3g binary ?
[01:21] <losha> AfroMan: I understand. But you should understand that this channel may be biased :-)
[01:21] <rj1> Blehk yes but its also a file XD
[01:21] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: no, but complicates
[01:21] <brixius> well that sucks
[01:22] <Blehk> srdjan: it's usually, that there are no shared libraries installed for the application
[01:22] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, ok, no help
[01:22] <rj1> Blehk so I was wondering if I accidentally misplaced it by forcing it with sudo
[01:22] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: >>langauage >> advanced>>
[01:22] <Blehk> rj1: it's a pointer to a null device
[01:22] <rj1> Blehk thnx :D
[01:22] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: >>grub
[01:22] <LizardK|ng> ok
[01:22] <bllz> Blehk:  i'm familiar with /dev/null in the context of using it to overwrite my disk with zeros... is there a similar pointer/file/device that will produce 1's?
[01:22] <Zeppelin> how
[01:23] <kinja-sheep> rj1: We shall have a funeral for your file in the maximized terminal. "clear ; banner -w 30 RIP"
[01:23] <srdjan> Blehk then how to open and read nvidia_do.so
[01:23] <bllz> Blehk:  this is purely out of curiosity =)
[01:23] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: >>restore grub
[01:23] <unop> bllz,   no, but you can use an endless loop.   while true; do printf 1; done
[01:23] <bllz> unop:  you can do that in dd?
[01:23] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, i have 3 options that start with "restore GRUB"  should i do "in Hard Disk (MBR)"?
[01:24] <losha> bllz: there isn't. It turns out that for most things, zeroes are all you need...
[01:24] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: >>manual (2nd)
[01:24] <bahaa> bllz: you want to fill your HDD?
[01:24] <bllz> losha:  that makes sense, actually
[01:24] <brixius> ok, now that that goof up is fixed.
[01:24] <unop> bllz,  sure   while true; do printf 1; done  | dd ...
[01:24] <skynet> with cairo dock, can we move the icon, cauz i cant...
[01:24] <bllz> bahaa:  not  now, and not with 1's.  I usually use /dev/urandom anyway
[01:24] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: no you should see options
[01:24] <bllz> bahaa:  it was a curiosity thing
[01:24] <bllz> unop;  interesting.  i learned something today =)
[01:24] <bahaa> bllz: ok sorry
[01:24] <Blehk> bllz: I'm pretty sure you could use /dev/null and pipe it to bit flip the 0
[01:24] <bllz> bahaa;  no worries =)
[01:25] <banished> Hi, is there a ppa that will always get me the latest fglrx?
[01:25] <bllz> Blehk:  also a good point
[01:25] <bahaa> bllz: thanks
[01:25] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, ok, do i tell it sda1 or sda2?
[01:25] <Blehk> bllz /dev/null | (whatever the bitflip command would be > /dev/device
[01:25] <unop> Blehk, bllz  /dev/null generates nothing. maybe you mean /dev/zero ?
[01:25] <edbian> nvme, I can help you! :)
[01:25] <bllz> Blehk:  that would, of course, assume that I *really* wanted to use 1's and not zeros lol =)
[01:25] <bllz> unop:  aah yeah. you're right, actually
[01:25] <edbian> nvme, `chmod 6711` will set the setuid and setgid bit (6) make the file read/write/executable for the owner (7) and executable by the group and others (11).
[01:26] <Blehk> unop: I'm assuming bllz is doing /dev/null > /dev/device
[01:26] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: what do you get ? sdc should be there
[01:26] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, i tried sdc and it couldn't find any of the files, then i got error 15: file not found
[01:26] <unop> Blehk, that is quite meaningless actually
[01:26] <brixius> I have a question on the gnome config.  I was changing where the window bar was shown on the screen and said top/autohide, now I can't click on either the app bar or the window bar.  is there something I can do to change that back.
[01:26] <bllz> Blehk:  but he's right.  I use /dev/zero not /dev/null
[01:27] <nvme> edbian, ah thanks, someone suggested chmod u-s in the linux channel and that worked, but the numbers make more sense to me
[01:27] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, sdc is showing as 0K with no partitions
[01:27] <LizardK|ng> thats zero k
[01:27] <DasEi1> hrm..
[01:27] <edbian> nvme, NP :)
[01:27] <losha> unop is right. /dev/null returns enf-of-file. /dev/zero returns bytes containing zero. See man zero...
[01:27] <bahaa> ctmjr: now I know why your name was yellow, it's because when you put my name in the beginning the program yellows your name!!
[01:27] <unop> nvme, the numbers can change other permissions that you might not want changed tho
[01:28] <LizardK|ng> grrrrrrrrrrrrr
[01:28] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: darn,  reboot live-ubuntu jaunty
[01:28] <nvme> edbian, wait so 6 sets setuid and setgid ? how do i remove it ?
[01:28] <zeus_koof> CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH MY SOUND CARD ISSUES?
[01:28] <bsmith093> whats he problem eith the sound
[01:28] <bllz> zeus_koof:  I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED HELP.  I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE
[01:28] <taipansen> ubuntu rules
[01:29] <epinky> !caps | zeus_koof
[01:29] <zeus_koof> I updated to Ubuntu 9.10 and the sound card will not play any sound
[01:29] <bahaa> bllz: ha ha ha that one is nice
[01:29] <unop> nvme, chmod u-s,g-s file
[01:29] <zeus_koof> i have looked in forums but to no avail
[01:29]  * bllz brushes shoulder ;-)
[01:29] <bsmith093> i hav a fix is your card intel
[01:29] <LizardK|ng> goddamn grub
[01:29] <boredMatt> I have sound card issues in 9.10 also, but haven't taken the time to mess with it.
[01:29] <zeus_koof> yes
[01:29] <bsmith093> go to etc modprobe d
[01:29] <zeus_koof> ok
[01:30] <smacnay> Is there a trick to setting up an Ubuntu box to serve an rdp/vnc port?  I cannot log into an Ubuntu box at all.
[01:30] <bsmith093> edit alsabase .conf
[01:30] <bsmith093> add these lines to the end
[01:30] <boredMatt> If I randomly (seemingly) switch output options, it works until I reboot
[01:30] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: this is grub-legacy, quite funny to grub2
[01:30] <zeus_koof> it says nothing found
[01:30] <losha> zeus_koof: I've had good luck with http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html. Just skip the gui config bit as it doesn't exist in 9.10
[01:30] <LizardK|ng> my wife is gonna be mad, i was supposed to spackle our living room and i fooled with grub all day
[01:30] <bastidrazor> smacnay: you probably need to portforward 5900 to your ubuntu box
[01:30] <slix> grub > living room
[01:30] <cdocbo> when are wives not mad?
[01:31] <LizardK|ng> my wife is gonna be mad, i was supposed to spackle our living room and i fooled with grub all dayslixnot to my wife

[01:32] <goppp> not the wubi ubuntu disk
[01:32] <LizardK|ng> maco, she's going to be mad because i was supposed to spackle for the last 3 months, not because she's a wife and wivevs are always mad
[01:32] <bsmith093> i did
[01:32] <goppp> any ideas
[01:32] <LizardK|ng> anyway
[01:32] <maco> LizardK|ng: eh was more at cdocbo
[01:32] <goppp> and when I did try to boot via cli grub
[01:32] <maco> cdocbo: just didnt want it continuing is all
[01:32] <goppp> all i got was inimtrds or something like that
[01:32] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, i tried booting and now i get grub error 5
[01:32] <joshritger> can anyone tell me what to install in lxde to adjust the sound volume

[01:34] <goppp> what is initramfs
[01:34] <losha> LizardK|ng: shoulda stuck to spackling then....
[01:34] <LizardK|ng> losha, yes, with my wubi boot
[01:34] <goppp> yea wubi boot hre also
[01:34] <edbian> goppp, initramfs is the initial system files that ubuntu puts into ram during the boot up sequence.  I don't really know anything else about it though
[01:34] <LizardK|ng> wubi > grub
[01:35] <goppp> edbian:  with my ubuntu wubi install
[01:35] <goppp> all I see is
[01:35] <goppp> windows as my only choose in wubi
[01:35] <goppp> err grub
[01:35] <goppp> grub
[01:35] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: rebooted to live ?
[01:35] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, yeah
[01:36] <losha> wubi is, unfortunately, notorious for boot problems...
[01:36] <edbian> goppp, I understand.  The grub menu does not show wubi.  No offense but I think you should just install ubuntu in a virtual machine or as a dual boot.  Wubi is just sorta proof of concept / a neat trick.  It's not very functional
[01:36] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sdc1
[01:36] <goppp> edbian:  okay
[01:36] <edbian> goppp, It is tough to get good support for wubi cause it's very difficult to debug
[01:37] <LizardK|ng> edbian, i never had any trouble with wubi
[01:37] <goppp> ahh I see thanks edbian
[01:37] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: fs clean ?
[01:37] <jst> does anyone know of a decent mp3 player like rhythmbox that uses DIRECTORY STRUCTURE and not ID3 tags?
[01:37] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, it;s still booting
[01:37] <DasEi1> k
[01:37] <edbian> LizardK|ng, Sometimes it works perfectly.  I had a good experience with it as well.  Many times though it has problems.  It is hard to fix them. :P
[01:37] <gleeb> Sensors:   Error: You do not have the sensors app installed.
[01:37] <gleeb> Network:   Card-1 Atheros Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter driver ath5k v: 0.6.0
[01:37] <gleeb>            Card-2 nVidia MCP67 Ethernet driver forcedeth at port d800
[01:37] <LizardK|ng> edbian, not as hard as fixing grub
[01:37] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: DO NOT mount hd before fscking
[01:38] <LizardK|ng> at least with wubi, you can boot into windows, uninstall, and reinstall
[01:38] <goppp> LizardK|ng:  yea
[01:38] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: I love vm's
[01:38] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, fscking now
[01:38] <bllz> how can I check if a volume is mounted at the command line?
[01:38] <skynet> how to move the icon with cairo dock, to the place we want?
[01:38] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, clean as a whistle
[01:38] <DasEi1> bllz: mount tells you
[01:38] <Seeker`> "mount"
[01:38] <epinky> bllz: mount
[01:39] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: sudo mkdir /media/root
[01:39] <edbian> LizardK|ng, Fixing grub with wubi is harder than fixing grub alone.
[01:39] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: sudo mount /dev/sdc1  /media/root
[01:39] <bahaa> what is bllz asking about?
[01:39] <bllz> DasEi1, epinky:  hmm... any way to check by path?  I want to check if /media/500GB is mounted...
[01:39] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: sudo chroot /media/root
[01:40] <bahaa> does he mean when I mount a hard drive or cd and I see it on the screen or he is asking about the path he is in in the terminal?
[01:40] <bahaa> bllz
[01:40] <epinky> bllz: maybe, df -h
[01:40] <plustax> is anyone here good with GTK RECORDMYDESKTOP??
[01:40] <goppp> how do I save something in the grub editor
[01:41] <matts45acp> how do i find out what driver i need for my wireless card
[01:41] <plustax> I was wondering if someone could peek one of my videos and tell me ways to raise my quality?
[01:41] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, ok, chrooted
[01:41] <edbian> bllz, I think you're confused :).  If a drive is mounted than you can access the files on it.  A "isMounted" test is usually not necessary
[01:41] <matts45acp> the name of the card
[01:41] <webbb82> hey i just installed google chrome and it will run but then crash and log me out of my desktop its really annyoing does anyone els know about this
[01:41] <edbian> webbb82, I'm running chrome quite reliably both on a debian system and open suse
[01:41] <plustax> webbb82 do you have an error of any sort?
[01:42] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: cat  /boot/grub/device.map   ,paste it
[01:42] <bllz> edbian:  right, but i want to check without having to try to make a directory
[01:42] <matts45acp> the name of the card
[01:42] <webbb82> no i dont get any error it just will log me out
[01:42] <webbb82> its only when im running chrome
[01:42] <occy> hey guys... anyone know why trying to set a background image is so slow?  I've got a really fast machine and it's just pathetically slow
[01:42] <edbian> bllz, you mean the drive is empty and you can't tell?  Is that what you're saying?
[01:42] <occy> there are some other gnome bits that seem to be slow here and there too.
[01:43] <plustax> is anyone here good with GTK RECORDMYDESKTOP??
[01:43] <goppp> what I get is error unknown command 'drive map'
[01:43] <plustax> I was wondering if someone could peek one of my videos and tell me ways to raise my quality?
[01:43] <edbian> occy, Its that silly fade effect.  I'm not sure why it's so slow.  Annoying isn't it?
[01:43] <cdocbo> bllz: mount | grep -c /mnt/500gb, returns 1 if mounted, 0 if not
[01:43] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, (fd0) /dev/fd0; (hd0) /dev/sda; (hd1) /dev/sdb; (hd2) /dev/sdc (where ; is a newline)
[01:44] <occy> edbian: yar... it is annoying.
[01:44] <bllz> cdocbo:  great, thank you
[01:44] <cdocbo> bllz, yw
[01:44] <losha> plustax: are you asking us to critique the style, or give you technical advice?
[01:44] <plustax> losha technical advice
[01:45] <plustax> it looks like butt
[01:45] <occy> edbian: my machine damned near locks up for like 15s  and does nothing.  and it's a: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T9600  @ 2.80GHz with 3G ram.
[01:45] <occy>  
[01:45] <plustax> and its glitchy. and the resolution is really fuzzy. here.
[01:45] <bllz> cdocbo:  see this is strange... i can create files in /media/500GB but that command returns 0
[01:45] <plustax> losha:  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/desktop.avi
[01:45] <edbian> occy, It probably has more to do with your video card and more specifically the module  being used on it.
[01:45] <cdocbo> bllz, you said check if it was mounted, if it's not mounted the mount point (a directory) is still there
[01:46] <occy> edbian: it's an nvidia card
[01:46] <Jigbooot> Are there many negroes that use Ubuntu?
[01:46] <cdocbo> bllz, if you only want to test for the directory, test -d /mnt/500gb
[01:46] <Jigbooot> I mean despite its African name
[01:46] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: sudo grub
[01:46] <OttifantSir1> Can someone help me get my mic working? When I try to set the preferences for webcam, speakers and mic in aMSN 0.97.2, it always gets stuck at the mic. It freezes. I have no problems recording sound with Sound Recorder. Could it be because I installed aMSN 0.98 from an autopackage, and the configs don't match?
[01:46] <Jigbooot> I only see non-negroes like Whites Asians and Hispanics using it
[01:46] <bllz> cdocbo:  oh... crap.  that's a problem how do i get it to mount at boot time?
[01:46] <Jigbooot> I have never seen a black african manage ubuntu
[01:46] <cdocbo> bllz, add it to your fstab
[01:46] <Jigbooot> are there black ubuntu users?
[01:46] <occy> edbian: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 061e (rev a2)
[01:46] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: find /boot/grub/stage1
[01:46] <bllz> Jigbooot:  unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful. gtfo
[01:47] <bsmith093> that destop ewas awsome what is it
[01:47] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: found ?
[01:47] <bllz> cdocbo:  how do I do that?
[01:47] <Jigbooot> Are there any black ubuntu users?
[01:47] <Jigbooot> If there are, please show evidence
[01:47] <ardchoille> Jigbooot: Please take that elsewhere
[01:47] <DasEi1> !ot | Jigbooot
[01:47] <bllz> cdocbo:  i've poked around in fstab before but how do I add a device to be mounted?
[01:47] <Jigbooot> This is a question about Ubuntu
[01:47] <Jigbooot> what is wrong with this
[01:47] <edbian> occy, I don't think I can help further.  I think the solution would be to re-write code in the change background function or the cards module.  That's way above my head unfortunately :(
[01:47] <Jigbooot> ?
[01:47] <Jigbooot> I am on topic
[01:47] <cdocbo> bllz, do you know the filesystem?
[01:47] <bllz> Jigbooot:  #troll is that way --------->
[01:47] <occy> edbian: np mate ;)
[01:47] <Jigbooot> I refuse to use ubuntu until I find evidence of negroid usage
[01:47] <ardchoille> !ops | Jigbooot
[01:48] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, 1 second
[01:48] <edbian> occy, Sorry! :(  personally I think the fading change is stupid anyway.
[01:48] <Jigbooot> well?
[01:48] <bllz> cdocbo:  yes, it's ext4 on /dev/sdb
[01:48] <occy> edbian: I concur
[01:48] <Jigbooot> why am I being reported?
[01:48] <bsmith093> bc u dont know when to take a hint thats why
[01:48] <Amaranth> Jigbooot: Because the question is offensive
[01:48] <DasEi1> Jigbooot: this channel is for technical help, see given hints
[01:48] <semitones> hey -- is there a way to make files I put in ~/.bin execute when I type the name of the file
[01:48] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: error 15: file not found
[01:48] <occy> edbian: if you can't have it work right, don't make changing a background take 15s on a really fast machhine.  That's sily.  But anyway.
[01:48] <plustax> losha:  any tips on making it better?
[01:48] <plustax> look better?
[01:48] <Jigbooot> Really I would be very surprised tos ee a nigggress using ubuntu, being that their average IQ is 80, while everybody else averages 100
[01:48] <occy> edbian: we shall both suffer together
[01:48] <edbian> semitones, That's what /usr/local/bin is for! :)
[01:48] <pwd> Jigbooot: :o ...
[01:48] <cdocbo> bllz, ok, so <for example> you'd do:  /dev/sda5 /mnt/500gb ext4 defaults 0 0
[01:48] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: in grub prompt ??
[01:49] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: yes
[01:49] <edbian> semitones, put files in there to get the desired effect
[01:49] <LzrdKing> :(
[01:49] <epinky> occy: try "metacity --replace"
[01:49] <semitones> edbian: ok, but do I have permission to write there?
[01:49] <occy> epinky: wait what?
[01:49] <occy> epinky: what does that do?
[01:49] <edbian> semitones, I think you need root power
[01:49] <cdocbo> bllz, you need to use the correct partition, /dev/sda5 needs to be changed, and your mount point, etc.
[01:49] <losha> plustax: I don't know much about the theora encoder to be honest. Can you up the bitrate?
[01:49] <bllz> cdocbo: hmm..right
[01:49] <semitones> edbian: alright, thannks
[01:50] <plustax> I dont know how. :(
[01:50] <edbian> semitones, NP.  I love putting my custom scripts in there
[01:50] <epinky> occy: maybe compiz is causing trouble, "metacity --replace" should switch to metacity
[01:50] <losha> plustax: what do you use to capture. recordmydesktop?
[01:50] <bllz> cdocbo:  the thing is i see a line for it ... it looks like tihs:  # /media/500GB was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
[01:50] <bllz> UUID=0c58ec2d-ba47-4403-a6bb-b6e4e8a87187 /media/500GB    ext4    noatime,ndiratime,defaults        0       2
[01:50] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: quit
[01:50] <cdocbo> bllz, remove the #, it's commented out
[01:50] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: exit
[01:50] <outofthemadness> hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm trying to upgrade one of my machines to 9.10 from 9.04 but as soon as the install begins, I get an error message that says 'Can not upgrade:Your python install is corrupted. Please fix the '/usr/bin/python' symlink.' but I've never changed it. Any thoughts?
[01:50] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: sudo grub
[01:50] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: find /boot/grub/stage1
[01:51] <bllz> cdocbo:  oh wow!  I didn't even see that!  why on earth is it commented out?!
[01:51] <bllz> cdocbo.  thanks!
[01:51] <bllz> cdocbo:  wait... it's not commented out
[01:51] <edbian> outofthemadness, try to purge python all together.  Or check the symlink.  Where should it point.  Where does it point etc etc?
[01:51] <occy> still stalls out
[01:51] <plustax> losha:  yep recordmydesktop
[01:51] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: (hd2,0)
[01:51] <occy> and I was running metacity before I'm pretty sure
[01:51] <semitones> edbian: what was that path again?
[01:51] <semitones> /usr/bin/local?
[01:52] <bllz> cdocbo:  let me pastebin my fstab
[01:52] <cdocbo> bllz, ok so it was removed, just add it back.  /dev/sdb1 /media/500gb ext4 defaults 0 0
[01:52] <epinky> occy: check processes with top or htop
[01:52] <outofthemadness> edbian: it's pointing to /usr/bin/python2.6 ... I'm unsure of where it should point
[01:52] <edbian> semitones, /usr/local/bin
[01:52] <semitones> thanks
[01:52] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: aharr
[01:52] <edbian> outofthemadness, I would suggest just "sudo apt-get remove python" for the install.  Not really good to have a corrupted file anyway
[01:52] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: ?? root (hd2,0)?
[01:52] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: (<grub>) .. y!
[01:53] <slix> Hmm.. this is a bit of a stupid question, but should I get the 64-bit version of Ubuntu? My processor is 64-bit and I always used 64-bit Windows (I'm a bit confused because it mentions AMD)
[01:53] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: ??
[01:53] <bllz> cdocbo:  wait what?  hang on... here's my fstab:  http://pastebin.com/m592b60b6
[01:53] <outofthemadness> edbians, rather I thought that was where it should point. wouldn't removing python be a bit of overkill? I mean, I think that would also remove all things depending on python, which is an awful large chunk of programs
[01:53] <TheCheeze> i am having issues rebranding 3.5.7 from shiretoko to firefox in karmic ubuntu. is there somehting I am missing? i have the rebranding packages installed...
[01:53] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: (<grub>) root (hd2,0)    yes, sir
[01:54] <outofthemadness> edbians, I'm going to do a bit more research, then come back
[01:54] <losha> plustax: google says: http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/rug/p1_2d.php
[01:54] <edbian> slix, :)  the whole point of 64 bit hardware and software is to allow the use of 4GB of ram (or more)  If you don't have that much ram you won't benefit from 64 bit at all.  It has amd in the name because amd invented the architecture
[01:54] <cdocbo> bllz, so it's there, just using UUID instead of device name
[01:54] <four> can someone tell me how to remove the volume applet from the notification bar?
[01:54] <edbian> slide, intel and amd make amd64 architecture processors
[01:54] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: ok, install (hd0) or (hd2) or (hd2,0) or something else?
[01:54] <bllz> cdocbo:  I don't understand... so it's mounted?
[01:54] <plustax> losha:  thank you!!
[01:54] <slix> I do have 4gb of ram..
[01:54] <cdocbo> bllz, type mount | grep /media/500gb
[01:55] <slix> Alright, good.
[01:55] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: setup (hd0)
[01:55] <slix> Just making sure..
[01:55] <cdocbo> bllz, if you see it, then yes
[01:55] <occy> how can I ensure my machine is running at peak performance?  I'd rather have speed vs. batter saving on my laptop
[01:55] <edbian> slix, Than I suggest 64 bit ubuntu! :)  (It isn't a stupid question)
[01:55] <LzrdKing> oh right, setup, not install
[01:55] <occy> I checked bios and didn't see much in there for it
[01:55] <occy> and I've checked the power settings
[01:55] <bllz> cdocbo:  it returns nothing
[01:55] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: errors ?
[01:55] <bllz> cdocbo:  it just goes to a new line
[01:55] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: says it succeeded, but i am skeptical, as i had done this before
[01:55] <DasEi1> nah
[01:56] <semitones> and would you know how I can change the amount of bits in my display?
[01:56] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: quit
[01:56] <cdocbo> bllz, ok, then something is wrong.  try sudo mount /media/500gb
[01:56] <DasEi1> LzrdKing: reboot
[01:56] <spyder> does anyone have a URL that can help me with 'error: you must load the kernel first" ?  I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10
[01:56] <semitones> I'd like to get 24 or 32
[01:56] <LzrdKing> DasEi1: ok, but as i said, i'm skeptical
[01:56] <cdocbo> bllz, oh, wait, you have GB, it's case senstive
[01:56] <con-man> someone gimme an open source program for recording your desktop as a video. STAT.
[01:56] <con-man> gotta record a er.. um... you know.. live show...
[01:56] <con-man> its a band
[01:56] <con-man> yeah thats the tickety
[01:57] <four> can someone tell me how to remove the volume applet from the notification bar?
[01:57] <bllz> cdocbo:  yeah i've been correcting for that

[01:57] <con-man> I need help
[01:57] <cdocbo> bllz, are you sure it's ext4?
[01:58] <edbian> con-man, Just google it!
[01:58] <Zenith88> hi all, can anybody help me with switching to runlevel 3 and changing kernel vga parameter? I tried vga=ask but the kernel won't boot saying that it is obsolete and not supported. I am running this: Linux host 2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Oct 15 05:01:14 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux. How can I discover the modes?
[01:58] <bllz> cdocbo:  100% positive.  is it because i have the defaults option along with noatime and nodiratime in fstab?
[01:58] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, still error 21.  ready to give up, for today at least?
[01:59] <cdocbo> bllz, I assume that's either a external/additional HD?
[01:59] <bllz> secondary internal, cdocbo
[01:59] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: yes, next to check is chrooted syslog and dmesg
[01:59] <cdocbo> bllz, check for a good partition, fdisk -l /dev/sdb1
[02:00] <DasEi1> !info xvidcap | con-man
[02:00] <four> can someone tell me how to remove the volume applet from the notification bar?
[02:00] <cdocbo> bllz, er, no 1 at the end
[02:00] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, will you be here tomorrow?
[02:00] <Zenith88> four: are you in Gnome?
[02:00] <bllz> cdocbo:  no valid partiton table
[02:00] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: there a few around here ;-), also there is #grub, might be
[02:00] <bllz> that's the problem...
[02:01] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: want the collected pasties ?
[02:01] <four> Zenith88, yes i am
[02:01] <hikenboot> hello i have to copy a couple hundred gig across 100Mb network, i have done this in the past (one being windows xp the other being ubuntu 9.10) it seems inordinately slow..Is there a fast data sync utility that can be used between these two hosts?
[02:01] <cdocbo> bllz, you tried it with /dev/sdb?
[02:01] <bllz> cdocbo:  hmm hang on
[02:01] <LizardK|ng> i'm just gonna set up my printer and media drives for samba sharing
[02:01] <Zenith88> four: right click the applet, does it give you 'remove' menu option?
[02:01] <four> Zenith88, no
[02:01] <bllz> cdocbo:  taht seems to work
[02:01] <semitones> does anybody know what the number of bits in display means? Like 24 bit, 32 bit display?
[02:01] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, but if i work with someone else, they won't know what we've already tried tonight
[02:02] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: see above
[02:02] <four> Zenith88, but i think maybe removing it from startup applications might do away with it
[02:02] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: want the collected pasties ?
[02:02] <kinja-sheep> hikenboot: 100MB Network? You mean local network or over Internet? If that's over Internet, then yeah, that'll be slow.
[02:02] <cdocbo> bllz, does it show System as Linux?
[02:02] <bllz> cdocbo:  yes
[02:02] <four> Zenith88, im gonna try it nowe
[02:02] <LizardK|ng> hikenboot, eSATA drive
[02:02] <cdocbo> bllz, ok try sudo mount -t ext4 /media/500GB
[02:02] <Zenith88> four: that's a very radical solutions, should be an easier one. I don't have gnome on this machine, but recall there was an easy way to do it.
[02:02] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, yes, collected pasties please
[02:03] <edbian> If I know the ip address of a computer is there some way to find out the hostname over the network?  (LAN)
[02:03] <tatyana> hi guys. is there a way to boot ubuntu 9.10 into text only (safe?) mode?
[02:03] <LizardK|ng> edbian, nslookup?
[02:03] <LizardK|ng> i mean dig
[02:03] <four> Zenith88, yeah i think that there was a way but it is gone now
[02:03] <hikenboot> no 100mb lan only two hosts sharing a switch
[02:03] <squidbilly> ok i forget how to get echo to repeat in a loop... anyone?
[02:03] <tatyana> I cannot get into grub menu at all
[02:03] <Zenith88> tatyana: man telinit
[02:03] <semitones> is there a place to choose 256 colors, thousands, millions, etc?
[02:04] <Zenith88> four: ouch! if you click in different areas of start menu, what do you get?
[02:04] <tatyana> well, i'd do that. but I can't boot into regular mode at all. therefore I need to get into text-only
[02:04] <cdocbo> squidbilly, while /bin/true; do echo "blah"; done
[02:05] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: collecting...
[02:05] <kinja-sheep> hikenboot: Linux + XP?  Linux + Linux? There are no such thing as fast data sync.  Just lot of tools that get the job done with sync or file transferring.  rsync is a sync tool for one. You want GUI? Filezilla or in your GNOME file manager, there are "Connect To Server" in drop-down menu.
[02:05] <Zenith88> tatyana: so it's a bit different problem. what happened to your grub?
[02:05] <bllz> cdocbo:  i'm getting an error...
[02:05] <epinky> semitones: a bit offtopic, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth
[02:05] <hikenboot> ok thanks
[02:05] <squidbilly> excellent.  thanks
[02:05] <tatyana> nothing. fresh installation of ubuntu. i know for sure that the problem is with video drv
[02:05] <cdocbo> bllz, the same one?
[02:05] <semitones> epinky: I just want to know how to chaNGE it under ubuntu
[02:06] <semitones> epinky: sorry for caps
[02:06] <tatyana> so i wanted to boot into save mode and edid xorg.conf
[02:06] <bllz> cdocbo:  no apparently a syntax error?  it explains how to use the mount command
[02:06] <tatyana> but i can't
[02:06] <bahaa> semitones
[02:06] <dtrzG> why does my text disappears ?
[02:06] <tatyana> regular boot just hangs
[02:06] <cdocbo> bllz try sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /media/500GB
[02:06] <bahaa> the bits are about colors
[02:06] <kinja-sheep> edbian: One way is to access your router website and check attached devices for hostname.
[02:06] <semitones> epinky: I know you used to have to do it with xorg.conf, but that's been deprecated I think
[02:06] <cgkades> anyone know where the grub menu list is? i looked where i'm used to it being /boot/grub but its not there
[02:06] <edbian> kinja-sheep, Thanks
[02:06] <Zenith88> tatyana: hangs for how long?
[02:07] <bllz> cdocbo:  is it supposed to succeed silently?
[02:07] <tatyana> forever
[02:07] <cdocbo> bllz, yes
[02:07] <semitones> bahaa: do you know where the setting for that is in ubuntu?
[02:07] <bahaa> semitones: the more bets you have the more colors ranges you have
[02:07] <bllz> cdocbo:  let's check the dammage =)
[02:07] <Zenith88> tatyana: still, for how long?
[02:07] <bahaa> semitones: wait a minute
[02:07] <semitones> bahaa: thanks
[02:07] <Alan502> HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here. For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan?
[02:07] <tatyana> c'mon. what do you mean? do I have to wait hours? I clearly see that it doesn't boot
[02:07] <bllz> cdocbo:  oh okay, so it's definitely mounted now...
[02:07] <tatyana> it falls into black screen
[02:08] <bllz> cdocbo:  how do I make these changes permanent?
[02:08] <tatyana> capslock does not response
[02:08] <Zenith88> tatyana: no, not hours. but it may take a few minutes to boot.
[02:08] <bllz> so that it'll mount each time it boots?
[02:08] <zortec> Hello all, I'm trying to download updates from the update manager but get an error that it can't retrieve packages.  I've been trying for a day now, any idea what is wrong?
[02:08] <tatyana> of course i understand that.
[02:08] <cdocbo> bllz, maybe the UUID is wrong or changed, make sure it's the same still.  sudo blkid /dev/sdb1, check that against what is in your fstab
[02:08] <Zenith88> tatyana: do you get text mode login before it tries to load X?
[02:08] <tatyana> I am somewhat newbie but not that much )
[02:09] <m1dlg> how do I change the name associated with my ubuntuone account? and can I access the files on another PC?
[02:09] <bllz> cdocbo:  id is the same
[02:09] <tatyana> no. that's what I am saying. power on --> some bios messages --> splash screen --> dead
[02:09] <cdocbo> bllz, are you're sure it's not there on boot?
[02:09] <_spcBNC> how do i decompress with tar archive that has more folders in to only one folder all files?
[02:09] <bllz> cdocbo:  how do you mean?
[02:10] <Zenith88> tatyana: that's ways before X startup.
[02:10] <cdocbo> bllz, have you rebooted and then check that it's mounted
[02:10] <bllz> cdocbo:  i'll try now
[02:10] <bllz> brb
[02:11] <tatyana> i was only able to install it in text mode with vga=794 option
[02:11] <zortec> I tested my net connection which is working fine
[02:11] <tatyana> I can't get X
[02:11] <zortec> Would it be the ubuntu servers?
[02:11] <_spcBNC> how do i decompress with tar archive that has more folders in to only one folder all files?
[02:11] <tatyana> I need to modify my xorg.conf
[02:11] <rahilm> does grub2 has its own irc channel?
[02:11] <semitones> hey people -- can you still use xorg.conf? OR is there something that replaced it
[02:11] <bahaa> semitones: you just want to change color preferences on the display right?
[02:12] <zortec> semitones: I believe it was replaced with GRUB2
[02:12] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, still collecting?
[02:12] <Alan502> HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here? For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan?
[02:12] <tatyana> all I need is -- how can I get access to grub menu, like in previous versions of ubuntu (pressing ESC)
[02:12] <semitones> bahaa: yeah I have a program that says it needs 24 or 32 bit display to work
[02:12] <semitones> zortec: thanks, looking it up
[02:12] <DasEi1> LizardK|ng: once I had them together hit the wrong tab, sorry, second
[02:12] <eddy> all the programming channels are overflow..  are there backup channels?   i need a php channel
[02:12] <bllz> cdocbo:  ok now it doesn't appear to be mounted anymore
[02:12] <bllz> wtf...
[02:12] <bahaa> semitones:and doesn't it work I just read that ubuntu uses 24 bit
[02:13] <zortec> eddy: have you tried the daniweb community forums? they are a good place to ask php questions
[02:13] <Alan502> what tatyana asks would be useful
[02:13] <cdocbo> bllz, copy the line, put a # for a comment on it, then change the uuid=... to /dev/sdb1, and try again
[02:14] <semitones> bahaa: the error says "This will only work if you're running X on console / Sorry, we only support 24 bit and 32 bit displays right now"
[02:14] <tatyana> yep :)
[02:14] <zortec> has anyone had a problem downloading updates using the update manager? That is all I need help with :)
[02:14] <tatyana> indeed it would. for me at least ))
[02:14] <zortec> I have 19 updates that just won't download for some reason
[02:14] <eddy> ty zortec
[02:15] <Hilikus> is the ubuntu server disk bootable? is it a live disk?
[02:16] <eddy> no
[02:16] <bahaa> semitones: isn't console the terminal of kde?
[02:16] <tsimpson> the server CD is bootable, but it's not a live session
[02:16] <zortec> Hilikus: both the ubuntu server version and desktop one should be bootable
[02:16] <zeus_koof> anybody get their touchpad on their laptop to work in ubuntu 9.10
[02:16] <Hilikus> it does boot, but i don't see anything to start it without installing
[02:16] <m1dlg> most people
[02:17] <Alan502> tatyana, can be useful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[02:17] <semitones> bahaa: I think that's konsole. I think "console" just means the commandline
[02:17] <Alan502> tatyana, brb
[02:17] <c1h23r456i78910> DasEi1 : im having trouble with that external hdd, i cant access it through any programs, it says this in terminal cannot umount /dev/sdc1 -- /dev/sde1 is mounted over it on the same point.
[02:17] <Hilikus> zeus_koof: sure
[02:17] <zortec> semitones: that is right or it's often referred to as cli
[02:17] <zeus_koof> cuz mine doesnt
[02:17] <semitones> zortec: so either I'm not running X on the cli, or my display is not 24 or 32 bit
[02:17] <m1dlg> how do I change the name associated with my ubuntuone account? and can I access the files on another PC (regardless of the os?)?
[02:18] <bahaa> semitones:ok I think I found something interesting on wiki I'll check it
[02:18] <semitones> bahaa: ok
[02:18] <zeus_koof> Hilikus: cuz mine doesnt
[02:18] <bllz> cdocbo:  that seems to ahve worke
[02:18] <bllz> *worked
[02:18] <cxb450> my touchpad works
[02:18] <zortec> hmm, where are the main ubuntu helpers tonight?
[02:18] <zortec> they must be having a well deserved break
[02:18] <semitones> heh, probably
[02:18] <zeus_koof> yeah my touchpad and my sound dont work with the update
[02:19] <cxb450> i did a fresh install
[02:19] <Some_Person> How can I tunnel web traffic to my house from school? I tried a proxy and an SSH server, and both are blocked at school
[02:20] <cdocbo> Some_Person, add a port to your SSH server on 443, most firewalls don't/can't block HTTPS, then ssh to 443. :)
[02:20] <Zeppelin> where can i find docs on Ubuntu One?
[02:20] <m1dlg> zeus_koof, try checking the FN+whatever button enables and disable the touchpad, sometimes it can revert to off when the software is changed/installed, I had a acer do that before.
[02:20] <Some_Person> I tried 22, 443, 80, and some other random ports
[02:20] <Some_Person> all blocked
[02:21] <m1dlg> zeus_koof, you might need to toggle it then wait and toggle it again
[02:21] <cdocbo> Some_Person, you have a public ip at home?
[02:21] <Some_Person> cdocbo: yes
[02:21] <cdocbo> Some_Person, try 53
[02:21] <Some_Person> cdocbo: If you think the problem is with my server, it isn't. I tested it by dialing in to my ISP with a different computer
[02:21] <spyder_> i am using the CHROOT method of recover described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and i got " Cannot find list of partitions!".  Any help is welcome :)
[02:21] <m1dlg> !ubuntuone
[02:22] <m1dlg> good guess
[02:22] <Some_Person> cdocbo: Anything particularly special about 53?
[02:22] <cdocbo> Some_Person, I assume you're changing the sshd_config and restarting sshd, right?
[02:22] <c1h23r456i78910> I have an external hdd, and I am having trouble accessing it because it is mounted at more than one point, can someone help me get it mounted at one point only
[02:22] <cdocbo> Some_Person, DNS
[02:22] <hyperstream> how do i go about installing this VM stuff to install windows7/xp inside of ubuntu ? (just for photoshop & fireworks)
[02:22] <Some_Person> cdocbo: I'm using dd-wrt on my router
[02:22] <zortec> Zeppelin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Tutorials
[02:23] <_schism_> good evening all
[02:23] <Some_Person> saves me having to configure an ssh server on a PC when there's one in the router
[02:23] <flash_> hey everyone
[02:23] <zortec> hyperstream: you can install virtualbox to handle the vm stuff
[02:23] <bllz> cdocbo:  can I use chmod on a device or mountpoint?
[02:23] <zortec> evening _schism_
[02:23] <Some_Person> it worked until their latest update of the filter at school
[02:23] <cdocbo> Some_Person, ah.  It's possible they have blocked dialup ip blocks
[02:23] <hyperstream> zortec, thanks mate.
[02:24] <TheCheeze> i am having issues rebranding 3.5.7 from shiretoko to firefox in karmic ubuntu. is there somehting I am missing? i have the rebranding packages installed...
[02:24] <cdocbo> bllz, yes and no, are you just wanting to mount it as your user?
[02:24] <Some_Person> cdocbo: Huh? What does dialup have to do with anything?
[02:24] <bllz> cdocbo:  i just want the drive to be rw by all users
[02:24] <zortec> does anyone have any idea what I might do to get the last of the updates from update manager? When I try, I get an error that the packages could not be retrieved from the servers
[02:25] <Alan502> HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here? For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan?
[02:25] <cdocbo> Some_Person, you said you tested, either way, dsl/cable/dialup are not that hard to block
[02:25] <Some_Person> cdocbo: So am I just SOL?
[02:25] <cdocbo> bllz, sure, then chmod 777 on it.
[02:25] <bllz> cdocbo:  on the mountpoint or on the device?  also, is chmod recursive?
[02:26] <cdocbo> Some_Person, if they blocked your ip blocks, yes.  Can you ping or tcptraceroute?
[02:26] <LizardK|ng> DasEi1, still collecting?
[02:26] <cdocbo> bllz, chmod -R 777 /media/500GB
[02:26] <Some_Person> My stupid DSL modem blocks pings with no option to change that, so I don't know
[02:26] <bllz> cdocbo:  thanks!
[02:26] <cdocbo> bllz, yw
[02:27] <cdocbo> Some_Person, can you run tcpdump on your router?
[02:27] <Some_Person> cdocbo: I should be able to
[02:27] <terrorink> only if u have tolliet paper
[02:27] <c1h23r456i78910> Im having trouble with my external hdd, its saying mount: /dev/sdf1 already mounted or /media/extern busy
[02:27] <c1h23r456i78910> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/extern
[02:28] <terrorink> :
[02:28] <cdocbo> Some_Person, try using a host filter with your school source ip (ie tcpdump -i eth0 host 123.123.123.123) and see if it can see any packets from your school when you try to connect
[02:29] <Some_Person> -sh: tcpdump: not found
[02:29] <_spcBNC> can somebod help me untar an archive in one directory?
[02:29] <spyder_> i am using the CHROOT method of recover described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and i got " Cannot find list of partitions!".  Any help is welcome :)
[02:29] <kinja-sheep> !rar | _spcBNC
[02:29] <cdocbo> Some_Person, if you can't get out on the common ports, 80, 443, 53, then there isn't going to be much you can do about it
[02:30] <DasEi> lzrd|ng ????
[02:30] <kinja-sheep> _spcBNC: You should be able to right-click and uncompress (assuming you have the packages installed).
[02:30] <LizardK|ng> DasEi, ????
[02:30] <_spcBNC> ok thanks
[02:30] <trism> spyder_: after you ran update-grub?
[02:30] <cdocbo> Some_Person, you might see if a virtual server can forward it for you.
[02:30] <terrorink> u wanna bypass ur security ?
[02:30] <Some_Person> cdocbo: Well, I haven't tried 53, but it doesn't seem likely. 22, 80, 443, and 62000 didn't work
[02:30] <DasEi> LizardK|ng: yees, http://pastebin.ca/1719027
[02:30] <zortec> can anyone help me with the update manager problem? I can't download the remaining packages and have tried over and over again
[02:30] <RobbieThe1st> Question: I have a laptop with a ATI 7500 mobile GPU. glxinfo says that direct rendering:yes, but the server glx vendor is SGI. Do I have the open-source Radeon driver running?
[02:31] <Some_Person> cdocbo: A virtual server?
[02:31] <cdocbo> Some_Person, DNS is 53 tcp/udp, so it's really your last ditch
[02:31] <DasEi> LizardK|ng: my damn browser was set to autologin launchbad, each time I passed, dropped the hole collection .. arrgn, sorry
[02:31] <spyder_> trism: it found memtest and then issued that error
[02:31] <goppp> hi
[02:31] <zortec> why would the update manager stop working?
[02:31] <LizardK|ng> DasEi, i got it, thanks!
[02:31] <RobbieThe1st> !help
[02:31] <DasEi> LizardK|ng: let's get a rest on some... punchball ! ca
[02:31] <cdocbo> Some_Person, yeah, VPS or virtual private servers, like xen,kvm, etc.  Hosting companies run them for $10/mo
[02:31] <trism> spyder_: yes, that isn't a problem, it is because they don't tell you to mount /proc in the chroot, you should be ok, just run sudo update-grub after you reboot and log into ubuntu (if you have windows or other operating systems you need to add to grub)
[02:32] <Some_Person> cdocbo: Not really worth my money
[02:32] <spyder_> trism: i can't reboot (all i have are memtest listed in the boot menu)
[02:32] <trism> spyder_: it should have found the kernels before it looks for memtest...
[02:33] <spyder_> trism: shouldn't it have listed them?
[02:33] <trism> spyder_: can you pastebin the output?
[02:33] <semitones> how do you re-enable ctrl-alt-backspace?
[02:34] <deleuzer> can someone direct me to the runlevel differences in karmic?

[02:34] <TheCheeze> semitones, select "layout options" and it is in there
[02:35] <zortec> well fixed my problem by using the main ubuntu server and not the server for the united states in the update manager
[02:35] <trism> spyder_: strange, does /boot/grub/grub.cfg only list memtest?
[02:35] <cyberjorge> does X support to work if you install it in Ubuntu Server?
[02:36] <Zeppelin> how to kill unresponsive program?
[02:36] <matts45acp> can someone here please msg me and help me get my wireless going
[02:36] <zortec> Zeppelin: you can use kill or pkill

[02:36] <bahaa> semitones: are you still there?
[02:36] <semitones> TheCheeze: are you sure it's there? I only see keyboard type
[02:36] <semitones> bahaa: yes
[02:37] <BalSak> anyone able to help me with serial admin: minicom & gtkterm?
[02:37] <cdocbo> Zeppelin, system/administration/system monitor
[02:37] <BalSak> please?
[02:37] <TheCheeze> semitones, keyboard, not keyboard preferences in the menu
[02:37] <bahaa> semitones:have you heard about Hal
[02:37] <trism> spyder_: no kernels, odd
[02:37] <bahaa> ???
[02:37] <semitones> TheCheeze: alright I'll check again
[02:37] <OttifantSir> Can someone help me get my mic working? When I try to set the preferences for webcam, speakers and mic in aMSN 0.97.2, it always gets stuck at the mic. It freezes. I have no problems recording sound with Sound Recorder. Could it be because I installed aMSN 0.98 from an autopackage, and the configs don't match?
[02:37] <semitones> bahaa: yeah, but isn't it deprecated now?
[02:38] <TheCheeze> semitones, when in there click the layouts tab
[02:38] <BalSak> connecting to ALIX board over null-cable; works ok in win hyperterminal, but when using same settings om my karmic 64, I get nothing
[02:38] <semitones> behaa: I never knew how to work it though
[02:39] <spyder_> trism: any thoughts?
[02:39] <semitones> The Cheeze: I was in the layout tab: I saw "use system defaults" "keyboard model" and "keyboard layout"
[02:39] <cdocbo> BalSak, are you using the correct ttyS?
[02:39] <cwillu_in_tears> does brasero's "burn multiple disks" feature actually do anything?  I click the button that pops up when you put too much data on ("did you want to use multiple disks?"), but it still won't let me burn...
[02:39] <Andorin> Okay, guys, here's my situation. In short, my laptop has trouble with connecting to our home wireless. I know that it's not the laptop or the Ubuntu install because: a) it connects to other networks just fine and b) I had this problem on Debian and an older version of Ubuntu as well. My router is a ClearAccess AG10W modem/router and I don't know very much about networking, so I'd appreciate it if someone could help me troubleshoot this.
[02:39] <bahaa> semitones: there is a guy in a forum who says it used to be Xorg.conf but in 8.10 and later it's .Hal or something like that
[02:39] <bigdavjoker> does LVM come with 9.10?  I can't find much documentation I am getting a new hard drive and want to manage the partitions with LVM can I install it with a clean install of 9.10?
[02:39] <BalSak> yes. ttyS0; primary serial interface on the mobo
[02:39] <hyperstream> zortec, hey mate, is it possible to use this VirtualBox to boot another working windows partition ?
[02:39] <bahaa> semitones:http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=10904&sid=cb3290f9c0c2b2b335075f36b97446e4

[02:40] <BalSak> cdocbo: baud is set at 38400
[02:40] <semitones> bahaa: alright, I'll check
[02:40] <bigdavjoker> Andorin, are you talking about it never connecting or dropping connections or what
[02:40] <cdocbo> BalSak, did you try 9600, N,8,1, flow control off?
[02:40] <zortec> hyperstream: you can run windows in virtualbox and create a dynamically expanding partition for it
[02:40] <kinja-sheep> !alternative | bigdavjoker (LVM)
[02:40] <BalSak> if I try to `sudo cat` any of the ttySn devices, only 0 is available
[02:40] <zortec> hyperstream: that is all done in the virtualbox partition setup
[02:40] <BalSak> cdocbo, I did, but will again
[02:40] <bahaa> semitones: I need to make a thing that takes about half an hour and then I'll come back to till me if you find something
[02:40] <trism> spyder_: and there are kernels in /boot? because as far as I can tell, the grub2 script to add linux entries just searches /boot for kernels
[02:41] <bigdavjoker> kinja-sheep, Thanks!
[02:41] <hyperstream> zortec, what i ment is(sorry), do i have to reinstall windows into VB, or can i just use a pre existing one
[02:41] <bahaa> semitones:ok?
[02:41] <Andorin> bigdavjoker: Well, it can see the network and try to connect to it, but normally it just hangs while trying to connect and eventually times out. Interestingly enough, this time I've gotten it to actually connect to the network, but I don't seem to have Internet access as no pages are loading.
[02:41] <cdocbo> BalSak, hit enter a few times, many devices require you to "calibrate" the line speed that way
[02:41] <BalSak> cdocbo; I'll use minicom & leave gtkterm 4 now
[02:41] <semitones> bahaa you got it
[02:41] <BalSak> cdocbo; thanks
[02:41] <BalSak> will try
[02:41] <kinja-sheep> bigdavjoker: If you're just managing a new external HDD, you could do away with lvm2.
[02:41] <zortec> hyperstream: you can download an iso and mount the iso as a cdrom and run windows that way and then install it into VirtualBox once you create a partition for it
[02:41] <semitones> TheCheeze: I think you have to install dontzap; that's the only way
[02:41] <Alan502> HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here? For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan?
[02:41] <spyder_> trism: how do you put kernels in /boot ?  the only thing in there is 'grub' and 'memtest76+.bin'
[02:42] <four> does anyone here use the main menu screenlet in 9.10?
[02:42] <TheCheeze> semitones, not in karmic. dontzap eosnt work anymore
[02:42] <Alan502> Is my question clear?
[02:42] <hyperstream> zortec, thanks
[02:42] <BalSak> cdocbo: minicom indicates I am "online", but no data
[02:42] <BalSak> will bounce device
[02:42] <bigdavjoker> kinja-sheep,  actually I'm replacing a laptop hard drive with new one due to failing HD  I thought I might have better luck managing the partitions needed for dual boot with LVM   would that be the wrong use?
[02:42] <TheCheeze> i am on a fresh install so i have no idea what you are looking at semitones. can you screenshot and tinypic it?
[02:42] <trism> spyder_: yeah, that would be why it doesn't find them, they should be installed there with ubuntu
[02:42] <bigdavjoker> Andorin, are you getting an IP
[02:42] <greghamen> Hello. I have a radio plugged into my line in, and I can record it, and play the recording, but I cannot do live playback. Any way around this?
[02:42] <OttifantSir> hyperstream: I don't know how to do it, but I've seen it done in a video from either LinuxJournal or Category5.tv I think.
[02:42] <cdocbo> semitones, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap
[02:42] <Andorin> bigdavjoker: I think so.
[02:42] <spyder_> trism: i installed karmic earlier today, and rebooted it several times w/o issue
[02:43] <TheCheeze> semitones, you SHOULD be in the keyboard prefferences window, under the layouts tab
[02:43] <spyder_> trism: this last reboot came after installing nvidia drivers
[02:43] <four> does anyone here use the main menu screenlet in 9.10?
[02:43] <trism> spyder_: why did you need to recover grub?
[02:44] <spyder_> trism: after i installed the nvidia driver, i rebooted to "Error: you need to load the kernel first"
[02:44] <kinja-sheep> bigdavjoker: If you're going for OSes dualboot, you will want to resize the partitions to leave unallocated spaces for other OSes.  I don't think LVM is what you're looking for. It is more of flexibility in control over hard drive storages (ie treat 10 HDDs as one gigantic partition, etc).
[02:44] <apanda> is there a known issue with intel 2200 wireless cards (centrino) and 802.1x networks? the connection works well, but it disconnects every few minutes by itself (for no apparent reason)
[02:44] <BalSak> cdocbo; no dice
[02:45] <cdocbo> BalSak, you pressed enter several times?
[02:45] <trism> spyder_: can you try a dpkg -l linux-image* in the chroot and see what you get?
[02:45] <kinja-sheep> apanda: What make/model?
[02:45] <bigdavjoker> kinja-sheep,  thanks I was starting to wonder if I was really going down the right path or not
[02:45] <kinja-sheep> !dualboot | bigdavjoker
[02:45] <BalSak> cdocbo: yea, I did. if it's connected,I get "9600 8N1 | NOR | Minicom 2.3    | VT102 | Online 00:01" & when I pull the power it switches to "offline"
[02:46] <spyder_> trism: http://paste.novarata.net/index.php?id=20091217184428_29331
[02:46] <bahaa> semitones: are yu still there?
[02:46] <apanda> do you mean the laptop? the wireless card is the intel 2200bg, the APs i dont know, they are not mine :)
[02:46] <kinja-sheep> bigdavjoker: Use LiveCD (and install gparted to resize the partition). That's Gnome Partition Editor.
[02:46] <BalSak> cdocbo: tried the same with the ALIX's documented default baud of 38400
[02:47] <cdocbo> BalSak, so it has CTR/CTS singles, maybe your line speed is wrong.  Try some others, press enter a give it a few seconds each time
[02:47] <bahaa> semitones: I saw something before I leave check this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap
[02:47] <kinja-sheep> apanda: Yes, laptop
[02:47] <four> does anyone here use the main menu screenlet in 9.10?
[02:47] <trism> spyder_: that would do it, your kernel packages all appear broken, how did you install these nvidia drivers?
[02:47] <bigdavjoker> kinja-sheep, thanks I'm famiar with gparted been running dual boot for a while just thought with the new drive lvm might help if I have to change partiions size again due to growth and trying to shrink window's partition
[02:47] <TheCheeze> i am having issues rebranding 3.5.7 from shiretoko to firefox in karmic ubuntu. is there somehting I am missing? i have the rebranding packages installed...
[02:48] <spyder_> trism: using the System > Administration > Hardware Drivers applet
[02:48] <trism> spyder_: System/Administration/Hardware Drivers?
[02:48] <bigdavjoker> kinja-sheep, but if I plan right shouldn't be making changes
[02:48] <apanda> it's a sony vaio, i'll look up the complete name in a sec kinja-sheep
[02:48] <trism> spyder_: yeah, that should be fine then, I don't know what happened here
[02:48] <BalSak> cdocbo: thanks for the info; I'll try that
[02:49] <spyder_> trism: would you recommend using apt-get to reinstall the kernel?
[02:49] <binMonkey> hi, guys.  i can't get openarena to work in karmic.  the 'fight' button won't work; it just takes me back to the starting screen.
[02:49] <BlueX> anyone know if I can replace grub 2 with grub 1?
[02:49] <cdocbo> BalSak, and make sure flow control is off or hardware
[02:50] <trism> spyder_: it is worth a shot, but I don't understand how installing the nvidia drivers from the repo could remove the kernel
[02:50] <apanda> kinja-sheep it's a sony vaio vgn-fs215b
[02:50] <spyder_> trism: i don't either.  the system was fully installed and had been rebooted more than once (and was working fine)
[02:50] <BlueX> I installed newest ubuntu with grub 2 and now win 7 won't load
[02:51] <BlueX> but on grub 1 it did
[02:51] <BalSak> cdocbo: both hardware & sw controlis off
[02:51] <cdocbo> cdocbo, I had a few switches that wouldn't work unless I set the correct terminal settings, then powercycled the devices
[02:51] <soreau> binMonkey: Do you have dri working ok?
[02:52] <BlueX> sigh, this channel is very technical but never seems to help me with newbie questions
[02:52] <spyder_> thanks, trism ( off to reboot )
[02:52] <binMonkey> soreau: mmmm.  i don't know.  how do i check?
[02:52] <kinja-sheep> apanda: Rat! Nothing about it in Ubuntu Hardware Support. You did checked Hardware Drivers under System --> Preferences/Administration?
[02:53] <cdocbo> BlueX, yes you can use either grub 1 or 2.  But installing grub1 will not repair your MBR
[02:53] <soreau> binMonkey: What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer
[02:53] <BalSak> cdocbo: my minicom's settings: http://pastebin.com/m69964bc9
[02:53] <BlueX> cdocbo, actually everytime I install os with grub 1 it does solve the problem
[02:53] <binMonkey> soreau: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset GEM 20090712 2009Q2 RC3 x86/MMX/SSE2
[02:54] <tmbg> sound for adobe flash is only coming out of my secondary soundcard (onboard). every mixer I have is configured to use the addon card (sb live 5.1) as primary. using 9.10, flashplugin-installer 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1, firefox 3.5.5 ... how do you set the primary audio output for flash?
[02:54] <soreau> binMonkey: Thats a good sign your drivers are ok
[02:54] <cyberjorge> help running X in ubuntu server, I get this error when starting X... "Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)"
[02:54] <cdocbo> BalSak, you might also want to take and blank out the modem init string, not needed for this
[02:55] <binMonkey> soreau: thanks.
[02:55] <BalSak> cdocbo??? sorry; u lost me a bit there. will check up on that quickly
[02:55] <soreau> binMonkey: Have you tried running OA in your terminal to see if it gives any interesting output when you try fight?
[02:55] <apanda> kinja-sheep, no i didnt check that yet (im on a different computer now), but as i said the wireless works fine until it drops in 802.1x networks, it keeps the connection to other networks (which i cant use without installing a cisco vpn client tho)
[02:55] <cdocbo> BalSak, in the config, look at the modem init string.  something like ATZ Q0=1... etc.
[02:55] <binMonkey> soreau: ahhhhhhh.  good idea!  i'm reinstalling it right now.  i'll try that in about ten minutes.
[02:56] <BlueX> cdocbo, how do I install 9.10 with grub 1?
[02:56] <BalSak> cdocbo: "Init string ......... ~^M~AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 &c1 E1 Q0^M"
[02:56] <BlueX> I don't remember that option
[02:56] <soreau> binMonkey: Reinstalling from repos wont help anything unless its installing a different version
[02:56] <cdocbo> BlueX, you'll have to use the alternative CD
[02:56] <BalSak> cdocbo: ahhh :"Reset string ........ ^M~ATZ^M~ "
[02:56] <cdocbo> BalSak, yes, just remove all that
[02:56] <BlueX> cdocbo, this is a different download?
[02:57] <cdocbo> BlueX, yes
[02:57] <binMonkey> soreau: dang.  i guess i'll try the .deb from their site.
[02:57] <BalSak> cdocbo: from reset or init, or both?
[02:57] <jmyers> anyone have any idea why my terminal freezes when I run 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'?
[02:57] <cdocbo> BalSak, both, those strings are for dialup modems
[02:57] <co_15_jelek_cr_c> hi
[02:57] <BalSak> sweet. thnx
[02:57] <co_15_jelek_cr_c> lhyna
[02:57] <cdocbo> BalSak, then restart both minicom, then power cycle the device
[02:58] <RobbieThe1st> Has anyone seen anything like this graphical.. oddness? http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/6756/kwinfromcompiz1.png
[02:58] <soreau> binMonkey: You can however try removing the .openarena file from your home directory to reset all its settings to default
[02:59] <jmyers> RobbieThe1st: That would appear to be a graphics card overheating.  You got it overclocked or something like that?
[02:59] <four> does anyone here know anything about screenlets
[02:59] <binMonkey> soreau: you mean once it's installed?  will it create a new config file?
[02:59] <cdocbo> Robbie_Crash, video memory corruption, either bad drivers or vram is going bad.
[03:00] <soreau> binMonkey: Yes, it will create a new settings folder in its place
[03:00] <cdocbo> hey EastDallas, you got a second to confirm that your tablet works on 9.10?  I filed a bug but need it confirmed. :)
[03:00] <RobbieThe1st> Odd thing is, it only happens with Kwin or Metacity. Using Compiz for the window manager and it works nicely
[03:01] <BalSak> cdocbo: removed values, saved, quit, reloaded, bounced the ALIX, <return> a few times .... no dice
[03:01] <BalSak> cdocbo: but still getting online indicator
[03:01] <soreau> Robbie_Crash: Looks like graphics driver bug. Which do you use?
[03:02] <cdocbo> BalSak, are you're sure this cable is correct for the device?  IE crossover or not.
[03:02] <mazda01> when doing a dist-upgrade, is it smart to let debconf replace the changed conf file I have and then go back and change the settings back to what they were for 9.04. what I did was copy the changes from the diff file it showed me into a file so I knew what the old file had changed. I ask this because what if an conf file doesn't have some of the new settings in it that the new conf file has.
[03:02] <RobbieThe1st> Its a Radeon 7500 Mobile(laptop) so I'm using the Radeon driver
[03:02] <BalSak> cdocbo: yip. used the same cable on a windows box to test it w hyperterminal
[03:02] <cdocbo> BalSak, different box?
[03:02] <slix> I'm having trouble booting. It seems that every time I start up, there is a 50% chance for one of the following to happen: endless blinking underscore or the loading screen afterwards freezes. I attempted to make a new livecd and reinstall from that. I confirmed the md5 hashes of both the .iso and the files on the cd. While using the livecd, i had the same problems. Using the livecd, installing it without going into Ubuntu, and check disk
[03:02] <slix> integrity all had a blinking underscore or frozen loading screen. After a couple of attempts, I was able to get into the check disk option and it confirmed that my disk was okay. I then put the .iso on my usb drive. Although it was faster, it had the same problems. I then came back to my already-installed Kubuntu (it took 6 tries to boot up! 2 blinking underscores, 3 frozen loading screens!)
[03:02] <RobbieThe1st> glxinfo says that direct rendering: yes, so I think its working...
[03:03] <soreau> ! who | Robbie_Crash
[03:03] <soreau> Damn it
[03:03] <BalSak> & certain it's the correct port, case it's online/offline when I cycle devic e powwer
[03:03] <soreau> damn this channel
[03:03] <soreau> ! who | RobbieThe1st
[03:04] <cdocbo> BalSak, Did you try 115200?
[03:04] <RobbieThe1st> soreau, I saw a couple responces to my first message. I wasn't sure quite who was going to be helping me.
[03:04] <soreau> RobbieThe1st: direct rendering reporting yes doesn't mean anything. If compiz is working though, that means your drivers are at least capable or direct rendering (without swrast)
[03:04] <mazda01> when doing a dist-upgrade, is it smart to let debconf replace the changed conf file I have and then go back and change the settings back to what they were for 9.04. what I did was copy the changes from the diff file it showed me into a file so I knew what the old file had changed. I ask this because what if an conf file doesn't have some of the new settings in it that the new conf file has.
[03:04] <BalSak> BalSak: same result
[03:05] <davidcramer> I need to get a newer version of libboost on my Ubuntu. Is there anyway without installing a newer distro?
[03:05] <davidcramer> (and building from source, so I mean anyway using aptitude :P)
[03:05] <soreau> RobbieThe1st: You can try asking in #radeon if anyone has seen such a thing. Typically the problem is with compiz not without it so that's interesting
[03:05] <mazda01> if i told debconf to keep the old conf file
[03:05] <cdocbo> BalSak, are you running minicom as root?
[03:05] <evon> hello everyone
[03:05] <semitones> does anyone know how to change the color depth in ubuntu? (I already asked, just doublechecking)
[03:06] <BalSak> cdocbo: correct. & if I cat /dev/ttyS0, I don't see anything (not sure if I should)
[03:06] <evon> I have a problem with my graphics on my laptop.  My computer keeps telling me that there are no graphics devices detected and boots me in low graphics mode
[03:06] <mazda01> davidcramer, if there is no newer version of it in synaptic then you'll have to look for a packaged .deb for compile from source
[03:06] <RobbieThe1st> soreau, Yea, I know. Its really odd.Thanks for letting me know about #radeon, I'll ask in there
[03:06] <evon> I've tried reinstalling the drivers buy it keeps telling me that there is no adapter detected
[03:06]  * davidcramer digs around for a .deb
[03:06] <cdocbo> BalSak, hexdump -C /dev/ttyS0 and powercycle the device
[03:06] <bahaa> semitones: good to ask again maybe someone could help
[03:07] <semitones> bahaa: that's what I'm hoping. Strangely, there doesn't seem to be a good guide on how to do things xorg.conf used to do but I'm still searching
[03:07] <bahaa> semitones: did you figure out anything frome the page I gave you??
[03:07] <Phill> Is this for the hardcore linux users ? :)
[03:07] <davidcramer> is there a way I can get access to this package? http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/libboost-dev
[03:07] <soreau> RobbieThe1st: You probably wont get much help unless you report all your system info
[03:07] <semitones> bahaa: I read it, but it just said to use HAL, without giving specifics
[03:08] <semitones> so we'
[03:08] <semitones> re still looking
[03:08] <RobbieThe1st> soreau, I'll try
[03:08] <cdocbo> Phill, just ask your question, sure one of 1300 people might know
[03:08] <bahaa> semitones:wait I'll give you another one
[03:08] <Kardos> ..becasuse we're all reading this channel without missing a line
[03:08] <EastDallas> cdocbo:  I can't find the stylus or mouse...I plugged it in--no error or anything...I'll look for the stylus tomorrow and let you know.
[03:08] <BalSak> cdocbo: nothing
[03:09] <bahaa> semitones: check this one: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap
[03:09] <Phill> I don't have a question :) Just installed the XChat gnome irc client
[03:09] <cdocbo> EastDallas, thanks, if it doesn't work, please add confirmed to the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008
[03:09] <Kardos> all levels of core stiffness are found here
[03:09] <bahaa> semitones: have you ever heard about a program called argy?
[03:09] <apanda> is there a hexeditor installed by default in ubuntu? i just found hexdump
[03:10] <losha> Kardos: :-)
[03:10] <Kardos> =D
[03:10] <semitones> bahaa: ok, so dontzap doesn't work anymore, alright, that makes sense
[03:11] <cdocbo> BalSak, did you check your bios, some have a virtual serial port for bios access and might be causing problems.
[03:11] <evon> I have a problem with my graphics on my laptop.  My computer keeps telling me that there are no graphics devices detected and boots me in low graphics mode
[03:11] <Phill> If this is of use to anyone, the ZSNES emulator works great through Wine ^^
[03:11] <BalSak> cdocbo: suspected something like that
[03:11] <Kardos> hehe zsnes
[03:11]  * Kardos recalls the days of snes9x
[03:11] <bahaa> semitones: you seem that you didn't read all of it(and you have the right) but it says that you can activate it
[03:12] <semitones> bahaa: activate it using hal?
[03:12] <bahaa> semitones: but it kills the x window
[03:12] <andyzammy1> hi all - i'm trying to reformat my sd card - for the command to work i need to know the location of it. how can i find out where it is please?
[03:12] <semitones> bahaa: dang, I suck at reading
[03:13] <bahaa> semitones: using keyboard shortcuts alt+ctrl+bspace
[03:13] <andyzammy1> (not using a usb card reader btw)
[03:13] <cdocbo> andyzammy1, check dmesg when you plug it in.
[03:13] <bahaa> semitones: but don't
[03:13] <andyzammy1> cdocbo: what is dmesg?
[03:13] <evon> andyzammy1: sudo fdisk -l
[03:13] <bahaa> semitones: press them
[03:13] <bahaa> when they're activated
[03:13] <evon> andyzammy1: that will show you the device label
[03:13] <cdocbo> andyzammy1, open a terminal, type dmesg, look at the end and it should say something like new media detected on /dev/sg1 (for example)
[03:14] <semitones> yeah I wouldn't want to restart X right now!
[03:14] <evon> andyzammy1: you can also check your media directory for it
[03:14] <andyzammy1> cdocbo. evon, thanks for ur replies, that did the trick! :)

[03:17] <lazydragoon> someone know how to go in system config in ubuntu ?
[03:17] <acovrig> I tried multiple programs, but all want to be run locally
[03:17] <bahaa> semitones:is a command line only collection of tools. Argyll CMS covers a wide range of needs from source or output characterization to monitor LUT loading and more. Argyll CMS is still not available as a package in many Linux distributions today, but a generic x86 Linux binary installation is available from the web site, along with source code. There is also one GUI which eases the calibration of LCD and CRT monitors with Argyll, called [dispcalGUI].

[03:18] <lazydragoon> because in skype i can't set up my headset only pulaudio is the iption
[03:18] <lazydragoon> option *
[03:18] <acovrig> cmd-line screenshot? (ssh)
[03:18] <semitones> bahaa: I feel like there's some setting that we're missing though
[03:18] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, pulseaudio is just a wrapper around alsa, so if selecting pulseaudio wont work, try with another microfone or sth
[03:19] <semitones> bahaa: because you used to just go into xorg.conf, and write what you wanted your display depth to be
[03:19] <lazydragoon> o
[03:19] <skyjumper> does karmic have a gnome volume mixer anymore?
[03:19] <lazydragoon> well my microphone is usb
[03:19] <skyjumper> "volume control" in the panel opens up Sound Preferences - not the same thing
[03:19] <skyjumper> there's no way to change CD volume for example
[03:20] <bahaa> semitones: I'll try the GUI of argyll and see what happens
[03:20] <semitones> kk
[03:20] <Alan502> Is my question clear?
[03:20] <Alan502> HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here? For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan?
[03:21] <apanda> slix yes i asked for a hexeditor, if one was preinstalled..
[03:21] <acovrig> ?
[03:21] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, hmmm, i think something is need for usb audio stuff
[03:21] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: o really
[03:21] <slix> apanda: I was looking through the Ubuntu Software Center and saw one in the programming section.
[03:21] <lazydragoon> Drknzz:  do you know what it is because in amsn all work great
[03:21] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, gimme a minute :)
[03:21] <lazydragoon> Drknzz:  thanks very apreciate
[03:22] <semitones> bahaa: check this out, this might be how to do it http://www.slackbook.org/html/x-window-system-xinitrc.html
[03:23] <bahaa> ok
[03:23] <apanda> thanks slix, but that means i'd have to install it, right? i thought it would come with a hexeditor installed
[03:23] <acovrig> vnc without the alert
[03:23] <acovrig> any ideas?
[03:23] <TheCheeze> i am having issues rebranding 3.5.7 from shiretoko to firefox in karmic ubuntu. is there somehting I am missing? i have the rebranding packages installed...
[03:23] <slix> apanda: Yeah, you'd have to install it. I don't know if Ubuntu comes with a hex editor.
[03:23] <cdocbo> acovrig, xwd -root > screenshot.xwdump
[03:24] <apanda> ok thanks then.. i'm pretty sure that i can use some preinstalled program as a hexeditor, but apparently nobody knows :D
[03:25] <acovrig> cdocbo, "unable to open display ''"
[03:25] <cdocbo> acovrig, yeah, you need to setup the XAUTHORITY properly
[03:26] <acovrig> I need display :0.0, I am using ssh (without -X)
[03:26] <acovrig> how
[03:26] <cdocbo> acovrig, assuming you have root, sudo username -
[03:26] <cdocbo> acovrig, then export DISPLAY=:0.0
[03:27] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, i think i found some stuff, but i need to keep on reading a bit more
[03:27] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: ok thanks
[03:27] <cdocbo> apanda, you can use vim -b
[03:27] <acovrig> does it show anything on :0.0, or just beep?
[03:27] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, try checking your veolume levels, just in case ;)
[03:27] <cdocbo> acovrig, it doesn't do anything
[03:27] <acovrig> it beeps...
[03:27] <acovrig> 2 times
[03:28] <cdocbo> acovrig, not on my system. :-/
[03:28] <acovrig> lol
[03:28] <cdocbo> acovrig, you redirected it to a file right?
[03:29] <cdocbo> acovrig, add -silent
[03:29] <acovrig> can I vnc without the notification of (Another user is controlling your desktop\n<hostname>)?
[03:29] <bahaa> semitones: check this
[03:29] <bahaa> Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04
[03:29] <bahaa> The DontZap option in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file enables or disables the CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE shortcut to restart the X-server. In previous Ubuntu releases, this shortcut was enabled by default, however this has changed with 9.04 "Jaunty", as a number of users have complained about accidentally restarting their X-Server.
[03:29] <bahaa> You can install the dontzap package and use the command dontzap --disable, or you can manually edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf,
[03:29] <bahaa> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:29] <FloodBot4> bahaa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:29] <cdocbo> seems acovrig is trying to spy on people
[03:29] <acovrig> ok, I saved it as a .png, can't tell if it worked yet, though, kinda hard if you have 512MB RAM
[03:29] <acovrig> lol
[03:29] <slix> (Reasking) I'm having trouble booting. It seems that every time I start up, there is a 50% chance for one of the following to happen: endless blinking underscore or the loading screen afterwards freezes. I attempted to make a new livecd and reinstall from that. I confirmed the md5 hashes of both the .iso and the files on the cd. While using the livecd, i had the same problems. Using the livecd, installing it without going into Ubuntu, and
[03:29] <slix> check disk integrity all had a blinking underscore or frozen loading screen. After a couple of attempts, I was able to get into the check disk option and it confirmed that my disk was okay. I then put the .iso on my usb drive. Although it was faster, it had the same problems. I then came back to my already-installed Kubuntu (it took 6 tries to boot up! 2 blinking underscores, 3 frozen loading screens!)
[03:29] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: ok i found someonthing about in the volume i have mic 1 mic 2 and line in but all not have any sound when i tlk in my mic
[03:30] <acovrig> just wanting to see if the cp is bing used when I ssh
[03:30] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, is there any option to set each of them as default? (ignore line-in)
[03:30] <acovrig> yes the -silent worked
[03:30] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: umm let me take a look
[03:31] <bahaa> semitones: it's in the address  I gave you
[03:31] <bahaa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap
[03:31] <semitones> bahaa: I checked, and that doesn't work anymore as of 9.10
[03:31] <graelb> Hello, i have a few problems with WIne and a game. I can get the game running totally fine, BUT the mouse leaves the window in virtual desktop mode, and all keyboard input goes to the terminal in fullscreen mode
[03:31] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: only choose what i want to be use like mic 1 or mic 2 i can set what i want be use
[03:31] <semitones> bahaa: sorry I missed what you said earlier -- I'm using irssi, and I can't scroll up
[03:32] <bahaa> semitones: ok then how can I install a package that
[03:32] <acovrig> what would cause a app to work in crossover (wine for mac), and not in ubuntu 8.0.4 wine?
[03:32] <kinja-sheep> !dontzap | bahaa semitones
[03:32] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, try recording a sound with each of those 2 and identify which one is the usb one
[03:32] <lazydragoon> ok
[03:32] <bahaa> semitones: I pasted the section that I thought would make you use dontzap on 9.10
[03:32] <cdocbo> acovrig, wine and crossover are not the same (different code bases)
[03:32] <apanda> cdocbo, thanks.. i thought vim wasnt installed because the vim command doesnt work, only vi as i have now found out ;)
[03:32] <graelb> The game i'm trying to get work is kotor 2
[03:32] <Shiba> acovrig: crossover is a crap piece of software.
[03:32] <trism> semitones: pgup/pgdown will work in irssi, or you can do esc + p, esc + n if you don't have the keys
[03:33] <PrototypeX29A> hi
[03:33] <nandan> hi
[03:33] <semitones> trism: thank you so much
[03:33] <centHOGG> ih
[03:33] <acovrig> Shiba, you can say that again (I have to use parallels desktop)
[03:33] <Shiba> acovrig: wine and its derivative products are nearly worthless
[03:33] <PrototypeX29A> i wanna get the latest ubuntu kernel version and using thi as a reference: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelGitGuide
[03:33] <bahaa> ubottu: we know it but we want to adjust the color depth
[03:33] <lazydragoon> ok
[03:33] <Shiba> acovrig: wine is only good for application developers that want to quickly port their software from Windows to Linux
[03:34] <bahaa> kinja-sheep: we want to adjust the color depth
[03:34] <PrototypeX29A> why do i have to specify the name of the release, when i want to get the latest development version?
[03:34] <acovrig> I am 'forced' to use wine when I don't have enough ram to 'duel' boot
[03:34] <graelb> Anybody?
[03:34] <centHOGG> bourbon
[03:34] <Shiba> acovrig: uhm. 'duel' boot?
[03:34] <Shiba> acovrig: RAM is cheap.
[03:34] <bahaa> ubottu: no problem I'm new to linux but I'm trying.
[03:34] <PrototypeX29A> avelldiroll: you need more ram to dual boot?
[03:34] <acovrig> run XP in ubuntu
[03:35] <PrototypeX29A> err acovrig
[03:35] <acovrig> I can run XP in OSX (2GB)
[03:35] <bahaa> ubottu: sorry I didn't realize you were talking to some one called error
[03:35] <semitones> heh
[03:35] <acovrig> the ubuntu has 512MB RAM, and a AMD Athalon Processer, and a SiS "graphics" car
[03:35] <Shiba> acovrig: another sad solution.  I can run XP in 256MB RAM I believe though
[03:35] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: none of those work
[03:35] <bahaa> semitones: I installed a program that may work
[03:35] <BalSak> XP in Ubuntu = Virtualizartion. desktop=VirtualBox, server=KVM
[03:35] <burkmat_> Ahoy, I'm trying to do what the "hide" button on gnome-panels does from the command line. That is, top/bottom bar hiding. I've figured out I can sort of cheat and change autohide options through gconf-editor, but there must be some way to do what the arrows actually do. Suggestions?
[03:36] <semitones> alright, I've got to run now
[03:36] <Shiba> acovrig: thats a woefully underpowered machine
[03:36] <semitones> bahaa thanks for all your help
[03:36] <graelb> Hello, i have a few problems with WIne and a game. I can get the game running totally fine, BUT the mouse leaves the window in virtual desktop mode, and all keyboard input goes to the terminal in fullscreen mode. I'm looking for a little help here...
[03:36] <bahaa> semitones: but I installed it as a package
[03:36] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, weird, try desconecting the usb mic and see if any devices are listed
[03:36] <bahaa> semitones: sorry you couldn't do it
[03:36] <bahaa> semitones: but wait a minute
[03:36] <Shiba> acovrig: go buy a netbook with Windows XP on it and run apps on it using remote desktop
[03:36] <semitones> bahaa it's ok, I'll be able to fix it later
[03:37] <semitones> see ya
[03:37] <bahaa> semitones: there is a program that may help
[03:37] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: i can select the mic 1 and mic 2
[03:37] <lazydragoon> again
[03:37] <bahaa> semitones: just let me give you the name
[03:37] <semitones> alright
[03:37] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, re-open the dialog so it re-scans ;)
[03:37] <bahaa> semitones:http://hoech.net/dispcalGUI/#download
[03:37] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: o i plug it back and now i got my usb name
[03:37] <semitones> thanks
[03:38] <Shiba> anyway.  I'm on this horrible WAN uplink with pitiful bandwidth.
[03:38] <bahaa> semitones: that were you can download the package
[03:38] <kinja-sheep> burkmat_: If you know the gconfi-editor code to hide the panels, then I suppose you could write a simple script.
[03:38] <bahaa> semitones: you're welcome and sorry againg
[03:38] <acovrig> Shiba, wrong channel, but can I re-install XP from a USB?
[03:38] <semitones> hey, you helped a lot
[03:38] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, Somehow, thats a n advancement
[03:38] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, xD
[03:38] <semitones> :) later
[03:38] <jumbers> I'm having trouble getting my notebook to recognize my TV via s-video properly. I plug it in and it flickers and goes sorta haywire
[03:38] <Shiba> acovrig: uh, no.
[03:38] <burkmat_> kinja-sheep, The issue is I don't actually have the gconf code. I can enable auto-hide and cheat that way, but there must be a way to do it properly!
[03:38] <lazydragoon> Drknzz:  reopen the dialog ?
[03:39] <bahaa> semitones: later (:
[03:39] <kinja-sheep> !windows | acovrig
[03:39] <slix> Nobody has responded to my boot help request :( Where can I go for help on this? I'd really like to use Ubuntu more often.
[03:39] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, just close the program and go to system prefrences sound agin ;)
[03:39] <graelb> Anyone have problems with wine not capturing keyboard input?
[03:39] <kinja-sheep> acovrig: You might have better support in installing Windows via USB there.
[03:39] <kinja-sheep> burkmat_: Where is it under gconf-editor/
[03:39] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: ok can i set the sound of the voice in my headphone ?
[03:40] <acovrig> :o
[03:40] <acovrig> partition error, XP gone, 'burn' cd to usb, boot, install?
[03:40] <Shiba> acovrig: thats an exercise in S&M.  don't go there. :)
[03:40] <burkmat_> kinja-sheep, /apps/panel/toplevels
[03:40] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, reformulate that, couldnt understand :p
[03:40] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: sorry my english suck sometime
[03:40] <bikcmp> hello all, where can i find sun-java5-jdk.  its not in apt anymore?
[03:40] <kinja-sheep> burkmat_: I don't have gconf-editor so I'm installing it. Hold on. :o
[03:40] <acovrig> Shiba, S&M?
[03:41] <Drknzz> lazydragoon XD, mine too, so dont worry at all
[03:41] <Shiba> acovrig: sadomasochism
[03:41] <acovrig> how do you not have gconf-editor?
[03:41] <Shiba> :)
[03:41] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: ok i want the sound of the voice of skype to be in my headphone
[03:41] <acovrig> ?
[03:41] <acovrig> i'm slow
[03:41] <slix> (Reasking) I'm having trouble booting. It seems that every time I start up, there is a 50% chance for one of the following to happen: endless blinking underscore or the loading screen afterwards freezes. I attempted to make a new livecd and reinstall from that. I confirmed the md5 hashes of both the .iso and the files on the cd. While using the livecd, i had the same problems.

I then came back to my already-installed Kubuntu (it took 6 tries to boot up! 2 blinking underscores, 3 frozen loading screens!)
[03:41] <bikcmp> where can i find jaava5-jdk?
[03:41] <Shiba> acovrig: Machiavellian S&M that is :)
[03:42] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, you'll have to set-up your headset as the default output any time you want that to happen
[03:42] <DasEi> bikcmp: it'll be java 6
[03:42] <Shiba> acovrig: don't try it at home.  Installing XP from USB isn't supported by Microsoft and will in all likelihood be  waste of a week
[03:42] <bikcmp> root@source1:~# apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[03:42] <bikcmp> Package sun-java6-jdk is not available,
[03:42] <kinja-sheep> burkmat_: This require some RTFM on my part since I haven't used it for long time.
[03:42] <bikcmp> what is the codename for it?
[03:42] <bikcmp> cant find it
[03:43] <DasEi> bikcmp: apt-cache search java
[03:43] <losha> slix: what you describe is not a well known failure mode, which is presumably why no-one has responded. My guess is it's something about your hardware that interacts badly with ubuntu. It will be very hard to diagnose. I assume windows boots flawlessly on this machine?
[03:43] <bikcmp> who too much lol
[03:43] <slix> losha: Yes. :(
[03:43] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: ok but only the voice in the headphone and the rest in my speaker
[03:43] <Shiba> acovrig: I gotta go, my WAN uplink is killer.  literally.  800ms pings to google.
[03:43] <acovrig> how is the best way to run XP in ubuntu 8.0.4 netbook?
[03:43] <burkmat_> kinja-sheep, Well, it just strikes me as weird that I can't find anything relevant there. Auto-hide and such can be found, but no simple boolean dictating "hidden" or not... Odd.
[03:44] <Shiba> acovrig: don't.
[03:44] <bikcmp> apt-get install default-jdk
[03:44] <bikcmp>  should work?
[03:44] <acovrig> lol, I have XP programs I have to run...
[03:44] <bahaa> guys is there an easy way to view the kernel code or other program code?
[03:44] <kinja-sheep> burkmat_: Which value? auto_hide ?
[03:44] <Shiba> acovrig: your netbook is too resource limited to run any VM
[03:44] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, idk, maybe we can look into that afer this/
[03:44] <slix> Well, this is a bit difficult.. If it is my hardware, I either give up on Ubuntu or figure out why.
[03:44] <slix> And replacing it will be even harder.
[03:44] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: ok
[03:44] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, check this out; http://www.blog.arun-prabha.com/2008/05/23/skype-microphone-problem-and-complete-pulse-audio-setup-in-ubuntu/
[03:44] <Shiba> acovrig: do a true dual boot setup, or buy a second netbook
[03:44] <graelb> i have a few problems with WIne and a game. I can get the game running totally fine, BUT the mouse leaves the window in virtual desktop mode, and all keyboard input goes to the terminal in fullscreen mode. I'm looking for a little help here...
[03:44] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, it aint for karmic, but it might work
[03:45] <burkmat_> kinja-sheep, Well, what I would like is a value called "hide" that just does what the arrows do, but there's nothing like it. That's what I'm looking for.
[03:45] <trism> bahaa: you can get the source to any program in the repository by doing an apt-get source package_name (it will download and unpack the source in the current directory)
[03:45] <jeroen-> hi folks: How do I remove the standby and hibernate button from the list of shutdown options (e.g. when you press the power button)?
[03:45] <terinjokes> got a compilation problem, anyone mind helping me with it?
[03:45] <terinjokes> http://pastebin.ca/1719071
[03:45] <bahaa> trism: I want to see the code
[03:45] <trism> bahaa: source = code
[03:46] <bahaa> trism: I'm a computer science student (first year) and my friends (windows users) asked me to show them the code
[03:46] <trism> bahaa: and I told you how
[03:46] <acovrig> not too bad, but I have a toshiba laptop (gaming?) 256MB RAM, 78GB HDD
[03:46] <bikcmp> hmm
[03:47] <bikcmp> i cant find java5 or 6 jdk
[03:47] <bikcmp> i need it to compile android
[03:47] <bahaa> trism: I just need to type source = code in terminal or replace "source" with the path of something?
[03:47] <Zeppelin> http://pastebin.com/m4fdd3f0c
[03:47] <PrototypeX29A> terinjokes: are you using the right compiler?
[03:48] <trism> bahaa: no, I said, type: apt-get source package_name, and it will download the code into the current directory; for instance, if I wanted to code to tinyscheme, it would be apt-get source tinyscheme
[03:48] <kinja-sheep> burkmat_: Okay, you wanted bottom and top to autohide (true), right?
[03:48] <ctmjr> !java | bikcmp
[03:48] <terinjokes> PrototypeX29A: i assume so, no where in the instructions does it say to switch
[03:48] <PrototypeX29A> terinjokes: sorry i misread somethinng
[03:48] <trism> bahaa: likewise, the source for the current karmic kernel would be apt-get source linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic
[03:48] <losha> slix: you could try other distros: fedora, bsd. Or a 3rd. party bootloader. Or run ubuntu inside virtualbox under windows. You could start by running a memtest overnight
[03:49] <burkmat_> kinja-sheep, No. You know the "arrows" to the left and right of top/bottom bars that you can enable in Rightclick -> Show Hide buttons?
[03:50] <slix> A thirdparty bootloader, as in not grub2?
[03:50] <bikcmp> where is the multiverae repoitory?
[03:50] <bahaa> trism: ok great but I don't want to download the kernel while I'm using ubuntu 9.10 so it's on my computer so can't I simply see the kernel's code on my machine?
[03:50] <kinja-sheep> burkmat_: I see it. What about it? I'm a little lost.
[03:50] <bikcmp> *multiverse
[03:51] <iceroot_> !multiverse | bikcmp

[03:51] <iceroot_> bikcmp: and stop spaming please
[03:51] <burkmat_> kinja-sheep, I want to do that, but with a script. I already know I could use gconf-editor to alter autohide settings, but I want to do what the "arrow" does. That is, not autohide down/up, but the animation and "going away" to the sides. That kind of hide. Clicking the arrow from the command line, so to speak.
[03:51] <bikcmp> sorry, didnt wanna paste that at one time

[03:53] <iceroot_> nstaven1321: mount device location
[03:53] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, follow the instructions, the package names should be thesame
[03:53] <PrototypeX29A> terinjokes: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html
[03:53] <iceroot_> nstaven1321: also see man mount
[03:53] <PrototypeX29A> terinjokes: maybe it helps
[03:53] <trism> bahaa: seems like you're making it more difficult than it needs to be...generally you can get the code from packages.ubuntu.com, but it's been down for a while; if you just want the code to the linux kernel, you can get the plain ones on kernel.org
[03:53] <ubuntu__> somebody is stealin my internet,so wana collect some evidence
[03:53] <Zeppelin> http://pastebin.com/m4fdd3f0c how do i fix that
[03:54] <PrototypeX29A> terinjokes: the part with C++ language issues
[03:54] <slix> losha: Do you know of any good bootloaders?
[03:54] <lazydragoon> Drknzz:  no at the first install said the package are old and replace by liboa2 and was already install but in the image on the web page look like very better than mine
[03:54] <jumbers> How can I get my notebook to understand that its s-video connection is hooked up to a TV?
[03:54] <tmbg> sound for adobe flash is only coming out of my secondary soundcard (onboard). every mixer I have is configured to use the addon card (sb live 5.1) as primary. using 9.10, flashplugin-installer 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1, firefox 3.5.5 ... how do you set the primary audio output for flash? (privmsg or use 'tmbg' to get my attention if you have an answer please)
[03:54] <lazydragoon> Drknzz:  with more option than mine
[03:54] <Alan502> Im connected through the internet with multiple interfaces (lan and 3g) is there a way i can combine them to have like.. a bigger bandwith?
[03:54] <greghamen> Led Zeppelin babyyyyyyyyyy
[03:55] <chuckf> Alan502: not enough to make a serious difference
[03:55] <losha> slix: never had to use one personally. But see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_boot_loaders
[03:55] <terinjokes> PrototypeX29A: i'll see what i can't do
[03:55] <bikcmp> got it working
[03:55] <bikcmp> thanks
[03:55] <kinja-sheep> burkmat_: I see what you mean. I suppose it is not possible because the devs didn't include a trigger for that. However, it is possible to turn on/off auto_hide triggers in commands.
[03:56] <Alan502> chuckf, well, then, can i configure an app to use one interface and some other app to use the other one?
[03:56] <Drknzz> install the versions on the repos man
[03:56] <bahaa> trism: I like the Idea of kernel.org I get the plain text of the kernel from there right! thank you.
[03:56] <chuckf> Alan502: depends on the app. is your lan connection really that bad?
[03:56] <slix> Urgh, this is going to be difficult.
[03:56] <slix> losha: If I had this problem on the livecd, how will a new bootloader help?
[03:56] <Alan502> chuckf, 15 kb/s on the lan and 30 kb/s on the 3G

[03:57] <turkeyshoot> anyone ever get errors like that 66?
[03:57] <burkmat_> kinja-sheep, Yes... I was hoping to avoid that, but I guess unless I find some other trigger to use (like a script buried somewhere) I'll have to hack together a script to alter autohide options... Anyways, need to restart X after screwing up the config, thanks. o/

[03:57] <bjartewe> hi, I run Ubuntu on Wubi, and my partition (17G) is almost full, like 100MB free - what is the easiest solution? Most of the used space is updates and extra apps,I guess, because I hardly have any media files on this platform, is there a ay to reset to "standard Ubuntu", for example?
[03:57] <nstaven1321> how do i remount a hard drive partition i unmounted?
[03:58] <Hilikus> nstaven1321: mount
[03:58] <iceroot_> nstaven1321: as i said  mount device location, also see man mount
[03:58] <Hilikus> or sudo mount
[03:58] <kinja-sheep> burkmat: "gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel_screen0/auto_hide true && gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/auto_hide true"
[03:58] <dtork> after upgrading to 9.10, the boot-up hangs at the small white ubuntu symbol. What can I do?
[03:58] <nstaven1321> it wont let me mount it
[03:58] <losha> slix: Hmm. it might not. I would try bsd next. It's not even a linux variant, completely different kernel...
[03:58] <chuckf> Alan502: probably the best thing to do is configure a proxy server locally and have it use one interface or the other
[03:58] <nstaven1321> im using gparted
[03:58] <kinja-sheep> burkmat: That will toggle on. Use that and make a script out of it. No problem. Good luck. :o
[03:58] <greghamen> nstaven1321: mount [partition]
[03:58] <devD> i face this error http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32759620/pict0180.jpg
[03:58] <chuckf> then point your app to the appropriate proxy or not
[03:58] <iceroot_> nstaven1321: dont use gparted, use mount
[03:58] <Zeppelin> how to i install something i downloaded from a .zip file?
[03:58] <turkeyshoot> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m76a571b6 <---- anyone know what to do about this?
[03:58] <slix> losha: I kind of wanted to try Ubuntu though :P
[03:59] <nstaven1321> ok is mount a program?
[03:59] <iceroot_> nstaven1321: yes
[03:59] <nstaven1321> haha
[03:59] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: i found something http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Pulse_Audio
[03:59] <nstaven1321> thanks
[03:59] <iceroot_> nstaven1321: or better, a command
[03:59] <Alan502> chuckf, i'll google it thanks :)
[03:59] <nstaven1321> if my drive is unmounted, all the data is still there right?
[03:59] <iceroot_> nstaven1321: yes
[03:59] <nstaven1321> its just not being recognized
[03:59] <slix> I think I'll deal with this issue for now (it only seems to manifest on bootup) and make a post on the Ubuntu forums.
[03:59] <salah> hi their
[03:59] <nstaven1321> sorry for the noob questions, i just scared myself
[03:59] <nstaven1321> but thank you
[04:00] <iceroot_> nstaven1321: np
[04:00] <greghamen> any sound related ubuntu gurus in here?
[04:00] <grndslm> anybody here know anything about SSDs?? ... if anything extra is required/recommended for linux?  ... and how i should handle swap space on this 30gb boot drive??
[04:00] <losha> slix: there's always virtualbox
[04:00] <chuckf> Alan502: I typically use squid for proxy servers
[04:00] <iceroot_> !anyone | greghamen
[04:00] <iceroot_> grndslm: nothing special needed but swap is not the best idea for ssd
[04:00] <greghamen> How do I enable playback of the line-in jack?
[04:00] <Alan502> chuckf, thats a start! thanks again
[04:00] <slix> But isn't it a bit slower? Plus, it isn't really changing operating systems if I run linux on windows. :P
[04:00] <grndslm> iceroot_:  i realize, so i wonder what solutions exist
[04:01] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: ok with it i have set my headphone and anythign if you get this again you will be able to answer hope i help you :)
[04:01] <four> does anyone here use the main menu screenlet?>
[04:01] <iceroot_> grndslm: i disabled swap on my eeepc
[04:01]  * slix leaves to reinstall.
[04:01] <iceroot_> !anyone | four
[04:01] <grndslm> iceroot_:  just use 30gb ssd as "/" and then 1gb of 1tb HD as swap and rest as "/home"??
[04:01] <grndslm> disable swap on eeepc?!?
[04:01] <Hilikus> greghamen: why would you want to use line-in for that, use line-out
[04:02] <grndslm> iceroot_:  and you never get it to hang with just 1gb of ram
[04:02] <iceroot_> grndslm: yes, dont need swap here
[04:02] <four> i am using the main menu screenlet in ubuntu 9.10 but some of the buttons at the bottom of the menu panel are too small and you cannot read them
[04:02] <iceroot_> grndslm: no
[04:02] <grndslm> iceroot_: nice... i guess i'll just have to give it up since i've got 3gb :D
[04:02] <grndslm> iceroot_:  what's this i hear about trim only working with win7.. is this true?
[04:02] <greghamen> Hilikus, I have the radio plugged into that port, and my headphones on the line out, but can't hear the radio, but can record it
[04:03] <iceroot_> grndslm: what is trim? and what is win7? :)
[04:03] <grndslm> iceroot_:  hah... trim support helps keep the ssd clean and FAST
[04:03] <grndslm> or so i hear
[04:03] <iceroot_> grndslm: that is a hrdware-thing, not a thjing of the os
[04:03] <iceroot_> grndslm: hardware
[04:03] <Hilikus> greghamen: how would making the line-in port an output port fix that??
[04:04] <grndslm> i figured so, but some people alluded that trim support was only actually "supported" in win7
[04:04] <grndslm> perhaps i read wrong
[04:04] <Hilikus> greghamen: you just want the line-in port to crossover to line-out?
[04:04] <greghamen> Hilikus, thats not what I meant. I don't want to change the line-in port to output, I just want to hear whats coming in on line-in on line-out
[04:05] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: thanks for your help without you i never be abble to done that
[04:05] <Hilikus> greghamen: oh ok. did you try playnig with alsamixer?
[04:05] <greghamen> Hilikus, ya.
[04:06] <greghamen> Hilijus, "Line Jac" has no bar above it
[04:06] <Hilikus> greghamen: increase the volume then
[04:07] <Hilikus> pressing UP
[04:07] <Hilikus> also, make sure it's not muted
[04:07] <greghamen> Hilikus, I did. Its as if the channel is disabled. There are others that are adjustable. but not this one
[04:08] <Free__> i installed ubuntu server how do i get gnome running?
[04:08] <Free__> im too newb for the terminal =]
[04:08] <madcat1990> startx?
[04:08] <Free__> ok let me try :P
[04:08] <madcat1990> I see lots of possibilities
[04:08] <Bondy> will need to install gnome first
[04:08] <Hilikus> Free__: did you install a desktop manager?
[04:08] <alankila> x isn't installed, I guess... "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" could do it
[04:08] <Free__> nope
[04:09] <madcat1990> there ya go =D
[04:09] <Free__> okay
[04:09] <Free__> le tme try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:09] <Free__> thanks
[04:09] <Free__> :D
[04:09] <Free__> muah!
[04:09] <Hilikus> greghamen: i think i managed to do that by unmuting one of the alsa channels
[04:09] <Hilikus> Free__: i don't recommend that
[04:09] <Hilikus> its pretty big
[04:09] <Free__> heh
[04:10] <Free__> its okay
[04:10] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, so you made it/
[04:10] <Drknzz> ?
[04:10] <Hilikus> theres a reduced version for gnome
[04:10] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, i wasnt here, sorry
[04:10] <greghamen> Hilikus, I hit the M on any other channel, and the 00 changes to MM, but the whole vertical bar is missing on it
[04:10] <justin__> hey
[04:10] <Hilikus> can't remember the name of the packgae
[04:10] <lazydragoon> Drknzz: yep i made it with pulseaudio applet
[04:11] <sid_> at start up em  getting 3 or 4 kernal options..eg...how to set it to only 1 ?
[04:11] <Hilikus> greghamen: set all of them to 00 and then see if it works
[04:11] <monokrome> Can anyone here tell me what Ubuntu uses to show notifications?
[04:11] <Drknzz> lazydragoon, Great :D
[04:11] <greghamen> Hilikus, when I hit the up arrow, it changes from Line In to Mic in
[04:12] <Bondy> apt-get install gnome-core
[04:12] <cn28h> monokrome, as in how to send one?
[04:12] <wojox> and x11-xserver-utils
[04:13] <cn28h> monokrome, try: notify-send "test" "this is a test"
[04:13] <monokrome> cn28h: I am wondering what the backend program that does it is... I'll man notify. Thanks.
[04:13] <cn28h> monokrome, however you can gain more fine grained options through dbus
[04:14] <monokrome> cn28h: Is it possible to notify over a network?
[04:14] <cn28h> monokrome, not directly, dbus uses local sockets iirc
[04:14] <cn28h> look up org.freedesktop.Notifications
[04:14] <monokrome> weird... I didn't have libnotify installed.
[04:15] <monokrome> ok. Thank you, cn28h.
[04:15] <madcat1990> sudo apt-get it then monokrome
[04:15] <cn28h> http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html in particular
[04:15] <monokrome> madcat1990: I did. I just would think it'd have came w/ Ubuntu.
[04:15] <Free__> whats the lite version of gnome instead of all of it =]
[04:15] <Free__> instead of all of it :P
[04:15] <Free__> instead of the gnome-desktop :P
[04:15] <tenach> Free__: gnome-core
[04:15] <Free__> thanks
[04:15] <tenach> gnome-core won't have gdm
[04:16] <mistergibson> my xine stopped giving audio, anyone else run into that after an update?
[04:16] <alankila> mistergibson: it mutes the internal volume here all the time
[04:16] <Hilikus> Free__: gnome-core, that's the one i was talking about
[04:16] <Free__> thanks
[04:16] <Free__> :)
[04:16] <Free__> i love you guys!
[04:16] <wojox> Free_:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1155961

[04:16] <bjartewe> with Ubuntu One, is it possible to configure Open Office.org to make an instant back up every time I save a new text document?
[04:17] <alankila> there's a control 3/4 of the way to the right in the stupid control gui of xine which looks like kind of VU meter. Clicking on it adjusts volume.
[04:17] <kinja-sheep> bjartewe: I imagine OpenOffice should have options/features in their settings/preferences.
[04:17] <bjartewe> ok, thanks
[04:18] <mistergibson> on xine, I set the volume to 100% on the command line
[04:18] <Bondy> gnome-core welcome to 5 mins ago :D
[04:18] <Oddbio> how can I prevent things from loading at startup, like an apache2 server?
[04:18] <mistergibson> xine --session session=0,volume=100,playlist='clear',mrl=""
[04:18] <mistergibson> it worked for months
[04:19] <mistergibson> just stopped working after an update last week
[04:19] <Bondy> free you will need to change the run level also
[04:19] <Hilikus> is the opensource nvidia driver outputing s-video these days or still nothing?
[04:19] <Bondy> otherwise yu will still boot to shell
[04:20] <kinja-sheep> Oddbio: sudo nano /etc/default/<apache-file> and read.
[04:21] <atul> how to upgrade perl v5.6 to 5.10 in ubuntu machine ?
[04:21] <Oddbio> kinja-sheep: thanks
[04:24] <FEAR> hey
[04:30] <atul_> I install perl 5.10 but still its showing 5.6.1 how to change it to 5.10
[04:33] <wastrel> sudo update-alternatives --config perl   maybe
[04:35] <brova> hey, i got a question. i want to change $PATH so i can execute from any folder. i want to add the . command to the end
[04:36] <brova> i have tried PATH=$PATH:.   ??
[04:37] <zomGreg> interesting question, the . doesn't work?
[04:37] <wastrel>  export PATH=$PATH:.
[04:38] <wastrel> but . isn't in the path by default because of security implications
[04:38] <zomGreg> clearly a bad idea from a security standpoint, but nonetheless...
[04:39] <zomGreg> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-404152.html
[04:39] <brova> zomGreg: was my command correct though as far as your concerned ?
[04:40] <wastrel> you need the export
[04:40] <zomGreg> sure, looks like it will do what you want, the thread I pasted seems to indicate you are on the right, uh, path.
[04:40] <brova> lol
[04:40] <zomGreg> but yes, you need to sxport that path
[04:40] <brova> no pun intended im sure ;)
[04:40] <navatwo> Hey folks, I was running a terminal application, I hit ctrl + z by accident in the application, and it appears as my display manager isn't happy. The screen is blank, anyone have any ideas how I can recover? I'm in my virtual terminal, and I can't seem to find the correct process.
[04:40] <zomGreg> so try the export and see if it works
[04:41] <wastrel> navatwo: ctrl-s
[04:42] <wastrel> no that's different
[04:42] <wastrel> ctrl-z is suspend
[04:42] <brova> echo "export PATH=$PATH:." >> ~/.bashrc
[04:43] <wastrel> navatwo: you didn't get dropped into a shell prompt
[04:43] <brova> thats what it says on website
[04:43] <wastrel> ?
[04:43] <navatwo> wastrel: no, I went here by choise
[04:43] <navatwo> choice*
[04:43] <zomGreg> brova: yep
[04:43] <kinja-sheep> brova: Why not "mkdir ~/bin" and place the scripts in ~/bin ?
[04:43] <brova> im not sure about it though. but i will log in and out i guess
[04:43]  * zomGreg agrees with kinja-sheep
[04:43] <navatwo> wastrel: my cursor is stuck with the `I' as well.
[04:43] <brova> kinja-sheep: this is actually my practice for my exam in 9 hours on linux
[04:44] <brova> i couldnt understand why it wasnt adding the "."
[04:44] <gaelfx2> allow to preface by saying I'm lazy. Now that that's out of the way, is anyone using an NVidia 9400GT chipset for their graphics card at the moment?
[04:44] <kinja-sheep> !anyone | lazy gaelfx2
[04:44] <navatwo> wastrel: That didn't work, by the way.
[04:44] <wastrel> i misunderstood your problem.
[04:45] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, no, 8400 gs
[04:45] <wastrel> you are trying to restore your X display?
[04:45] <gaelfx2> I'm just trying to shop for parts for a box I want to build and I wanna know if that GPU works well under Ubuntu
[04:45] <navatwo> wastrel: I'm not sure, I think thats what's happened.
[04:45] <gaelfx2> thiebaude: how is that working under Ubuntu?
[04:45] <madcat1990> the 8400GS?
[04:45] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, nvidia is well suported
[04:45] <navatwo> wastrel: my screen is just black, with my cursor and I don't have any windows, panels etc. Just black
[04:45] <madcat1990> I had one, it worked fine,
[04:45] <madcat1990> just had to install using the alternative installer <
[04:46] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, great, full desktop effects
[04:46] <navatwo> I'm running a nVidia card, love it.
[04:46] <gaelfx2> thiebaude: does that one have an hdmi port and if so, have you used it?
[04:46] <navatwo> Compiz is beautiful
[04:46] <zomGreg> brova, you should't need to log out to try what you want to do. just do source ~.bashrc
[04:46] <Hilikus> what's the WM with the smallest memory footprint?
[04:46] <madcat1990> @navatwo: Gets a bit tiresome after a while
[04:46] <madcat1990> and distracting imo
[04:46] <sean12837> I'm trying to tune vm.bdflush in the kernel, but in ubuntu 8.04 it doesn't exist under /proc. Any ideas?
[04:46] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, im using a hdmi for my widescreen lcd
[04:46] <zomGreg> Hilikus: probably ratpoison
[04:47] <madcat1990> ratpoison? o.o never heard of it!
[04:47] <navatwo> wastrel: any other ideas?
[04:47] <zomGreg> it's brutal
[04:47] <gaelfx2> thiebaude: sweet, thanks for the info. Ever try plugging it into a TV?
[04:47] <wastrel> no
[04:47] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, my nvidia sits on a lanparty nf motherboard
[04:47] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, no
[04:47] <navatwo> *sigh&
[04:47] <navatwo> I don't want to just shutdown
[04:48] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, on of those never lcd tv's you can
[04:48] <madcat1990> @zomGreg: Is ratpoison like fluxbox? (Terminal based, that is)
[04:48] <thiebaude> one
[04:48] <brova> ok. that didnt work i dont really understand wat you told me to be honest. :'(  essentially, the command for changing $PATH is   PATH=$PATH: // something afterwards.
[04:48] <zomGreg> I think so, I have only *tried* to us it once
[04:48] <gaelfx2> thiebaude: ok, cool, thanks again man
[04:48] <gaelfx2> now to find out if I can get the parts I want in China....
[04:48] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, np
[04:48] <madcat1990> @zomGreg: is there a package for it on the ubuntu repository? Cuz I'm a minimalist at heart
[04:49] <PrototypeX29A> madcat1990: ratpoison is designed for keyboard input
[04:49] <madcat1990> @Prototypex29A: Then no mouse support?
[04:49] <zomGreg> brova: you are correct. You can append to your current $PATH variable by running the command: export PATH=$PATH:/some/dir/bin
[04:49] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, what parts?
[04:49] <PrototypeX29A> madcat1990: there is mouse support, but it is for people who don't like mice
[04:49] <gaelfx2> thiebaude: motherboard, gpu and a decently priced cpu
[04:50] <brova> zomGreg: what does the export do? i was never taught this command. i find that to answer all my questions i have had to spend 10 hours on google lol
[04:50] <zomGreg> then, when you try to execute programs in /some/dir/bin, you will be able to do so just like you can from dirs that are in your path by default.
[04:50] <madcat1990> @Prototypex29A: That explains the name :]
[04:50] <PrototypeX29A> PrototypeX29A: yeah :)
[04:50] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, i had my system built for me
[04:50] <zomGreg> welcome to linux.
[04:50] <PrototypeX29A> err madcat1990
[04:50] <madcat1990> I got it XD
[04:50] <R[a]ndom> Hey, quick question. on netbook remix, how can I get a normal gnome desktop? I did some googling but didn't find anything too helpful.
[04:50] <madcat1990> there's only one thing keeping me from having ubuntu as a full desktop...
[04:50] <PrototypeX29A> the annoying mouse? :)
[04:50] <gaelfx2> thiebaude: yeah, if I were States-side, I would trust doing that, but here...most of them think Linux is akin to black-magic or something
[04:51] <madcat1990> nope, I *need* Digsby
[04:51] <madcat1990> when it comes out for linux, I'll switch
[04:51] <PrototypeX29A> never heard of it
[04:51] <gaelfx2> I think all the tech-knowledgeable people in China are building the firewall
[04:51] <kinja-sheep> madcat1990: What is Digsby?
[04:51] <madcat1990> its an IM that does it all
[04:51] <tmbg> sound for adobe flash is only coming out of my secondary soundcard (onboard). every mixer I have is configured to use the addon card (sb live 5.1) as primary. using 9.10, flashplugin-installer 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1, firefox 3.5.5 ... how do you set the primary audio output for flash? (privmsg or use 'tmbg' to get my attention if you have an answer please)
[04:51] <madcat1990> tried it on wine
[04:51] <madcat1990> doesn't work
[04:51] <zomGreg> brova: just stay with it. export makes that variable specified available to other shells
[04:51] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, good luck with everything
[04:52] <madcat1990> it has msn, yahoo!, google talk, jabber, Twitter support, facebook chat, email warnings, facebook updates, myspace chat, everything I use
[04:52] <madcat1990> all in one
[04:52] <kostkon> tmbg, install padevchooser
[04:52] <madcat1990> instead of having OVER9000 apps
[04:52] <thiebaude> !awn
[04:52] <tmbg> kostkon: thanks heaps, I'll give it a shot
[04:52] <gaelfx2> thiebaude: I will certainly need it. And I can't stress how thankful I am for  your politeness and directness
[04:53] <kinja-sheep> madcat1990: I see. It is like Pidgin?
[04:53] <thiebaude> gaelfx2, cool
[04:53] <madcat1990> @Kinja-sheep: Like pidgin on steroids, yes
[04:53] <madcat1990> it even supports themes and stuff
[04:53] <kostkon> tmbg, open, pulseaudio volume control, selec the "Applcations" tab, put a flash vid playin in fox, and in this tab you'll see the audio stream of flash. right click on it and select "move stream..." and then select your live
[04:54] <madcat1990> @Kinja-sheep: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16grAzndW9w&feature=player_embedded see for yourself
[04:54] <kinja-sheep> thiebaude: Nvidia Download site have a list of supported devices. 9400 GT is one of them so it is all good.
[04:55] <thiebaude> kinja-sheep, and i beleive that card is newer than mine, i think mine is 3yrs old, not sure
[04:55] <Evildeed> is mint linux derived form ubuntu?
[04:55] <Callum_> not using XChat because its not co-operating...
[04:55] <Callum_> Evildeeed: yes
[04:55] <Callum_> Evildeed*
[04:55] <kinja-sheep> Evildeed: Indeed.
[04:55] <bazhang> Evildeed, yes
[04:56] <coolierewind> hello everyone
[04:56] <madcat1990> @coolierewind: hey
[04:56] <tmbg> kostkon: strange. only the sb live shows up in pulseaudio. nothing shows up in playback of all streams in pulseaudio volume controll. maybe padevchooser will work.
[04:56] <Callum_> anyway, anyone have any idea why update-grub2 is segmentation faulting on trying to install Ubuntu Server 9.10?
[04:56] <thiebaude> Evildeed, i tried mint 8, its pretty good
[04:56] <kostkon> tmbg, hmm
[04:56] <coolierewind> VirtualBox 3.1 is a nice upgrade, Ubuntu running much easier under it ;)
[04:57] <madcat1990> free software is awesome! =D
[04:57] <Slix> Hello. I'm trying out ubuntu on dualboot with Windows and really enjoy it so far. However, I really need to be able to play Windows games. I know of Wine, but how do I use it? Are there tools to make it easier? I've heard of PlayOnLinux..
[04:57] <thiebaude> !wine
[04:57] <madcat1990> @Slix : no offense, but, in my experience, Linux isn't for gaming
[04:58] <Quan-Time> good unRAR prog ? winrar have one ?
[04:58]  * zomGreg agrees with madcat
[04:58] <zomGreg> best to dual boot if you want to game
[04:58] <sri__> ping command it give some output... here what does mean time?
[04:58] <Evildeed> yeah mint is damn good thiebaude
[04:58] <thiebaude> madcat1990, i also agree with that
[04:58] <Callum_> Quan-Time: installing the unrar package will give standard Ubuntu decompresser RAR functionality
[04:58] <coolierewind> instead of dual booting i'm actually using windows as a host with virtualbox and running ubuntu as a guest, works great
[04:58] <Evildeed> but how is its perofrmance?
[04:58] <madcat1990> thanks to those who agree with me
[04:58] <Quan-Time> Callum_: cheers
[04:58] <bazhang> Evildeed, mint is offtopic here
[04:58] <Slix> Oh man.. that changes things..
[04:58] <Slix> :(
[04:58] <Evildeed> i did not find its channel
[04:58] <madcat1990> @Evildeed : put it with EXT4 (4 isn't it?) and it'll be faster than a speeding bullet
[04:59] <thiebaude> Evildeed, someone was saying thats what ubuntu should of been
[04:59] <bazhang> !mintsupport > Evildeed
[04:59] <tmbg> pulseaudioprefs from padevchooser allows creating a virtual output device that muxes to all local sound cards. that may work for me
[04:59] <Evildeed> i am the ops in that channel
[04:59] <beerkid> Anyone familiar with lynx? If a php file, when executed, updates a database table should doing lynx -dump http://ipaddress/file.php update the table or print results in the shell?
[05:00] <bazhang> Evildeed, thiebaude lets move non-ubuntu support chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:00] <madcat1990> @beerkid : Wait, what?
[05:00] <Slix> :( That really changes things... If I have to restart my computer just to get to a game, this setup won't work.
[05:00] <wgrant> beerkid: That has everything to do with the PHP file, and nothing to do with the browser.
[05:00] <thiebaude> bazhang, i sure agree, sorry about that, i know better
[05:00] <Evildeed> thiebaude, pm
[05:00] <thiebaude> i'll stick to ubuntu
[05:01] <superwisor_wanna> hi there.got any solution to capture packages on wan port?
[05:01] <thiebaude> Evildeed, i dont have pm enabled on xchat, but thanks
[05:01] <thiebaude> good nite folks
[05:01] <tenach> G'night thie
[05:01] <cfedde> superwisor_wanna: tcpdump?
[05:01] <coolierewind> @beerkid I'd assume you'd see the results of the php execution, i.e perhaps the sql response, like 10 rows updated etc
[05:01] <tmbg> well it's set to mux both but not getting output from both cards. at least I have some other angles to attack it with. thanks koston!
[05:02] <beerkid> wgrant, madcat1990 i have the tricky task of trying to run a cron job for a php file which when run in the browser has a parameter appended to it like ?query=ubuntu but the filename is file.php
[05:02] <madcat1990> @Beerkid : Everything PHP Based is executed on the server, all you see is what you program it to export
[05:02] <nullbyte> can some one help me pidgin keeps randomly closing
[05:02] <Slix> Let's say I just wanted to see how Ubuntu worked with games...
[05:02] <FishLightDesign> hi everybody
[05:02] <superwisor_wanna> i would like to capture packages on my wan port,so may I store them?wifi hackers rootkited my whole house,so now use wifi and internet on another channel
[05:02] <nullbyte> Slix:  then use a live cd
[05:03] <nullbyte> and use a usb stick to save the games
[05:03] <superwisor_wanna> wana know what are they doing
[05:03] <Slix> ...?
[05:03] <beerkid> someone recommended i do 0 * * * * lynx -dump http://ipaddress/apache/file.php?query=ubuntu to make it work
[05:03] <madcat1990> @Slix: Wine interprets Windows executables, translates them to "linux" language, then executes them, do the math, it might be slower!
[05:03] <madcat1990> @Slix: You have been warned
[05:03] <wgrant> beerkid: I would use curl, but OK. What doesn't work?
[05:03] <superwisor_wanna> got a switch.is it possible to sniff wan with it?
[05:03] <Slix> madcat1990, yeah.. I know. :(
[05:03] <beerkid> i cant get the job to actually execute
[05:03] <FishLightDesign> what would be a good chat room to talk about buliding a desktop to act as a file server/print server/ local webserver that would run ubuntu server
[05:03] <FishLightDesign> ?
[05:04] <nullbyte> superwisor_wanna: use ip tables and get a firewall?
[05:04] <nullbyte> superwisor_wanna:  a packet sniffer would work
[05:04] <Slix> Just trying to figure out whether to use a wine third party app..
[05:04] <madcat1990> @Slix: Third party app will cost money
[05:04] <madcat1990> @Slix : Wine is free, don't expect it to work flawlessly
[05:04] <FishLightDesign> anyone?
[05:05] <madcat1990> @FishLightDesign : think this would be it
[05:05] <Zeppelin> Hi, I downloaded Deluge, but when I download a torrent in firefox, it only gives me the option to open it with only Transmission not Deluge.
[05:05] <FishLightDesign> ok cool
[05:05] <tenach> FishLightDesign: Have you taken a look at the channel list?
[05:05] <FishLightDesign> yeah
[05:05] <FishLightDesign> i figured this would be a good place to start
[05:05] <Slix> madcat1990, Some of them are free..
[05:05] <superwisor_wanna> packet sniffer can capture packages for store them?
[05:05] <coolierewind> @beerkid why would you run the cron task through a browser?
[05:06] <madcat1990> @Slix: Cedega is commercial, has better compatibility gamewise, but we can't support you there
[05:06] <coolierewind> something like /usr/bin/php /home/username/example.com/myscript.php
[05:06] <nullbyte> superwisor_wanna:  im sure you can find one on google i dont think there is any packages im not 100% sure but it'd be smartter to build your onw
[05:06] <nullbyte> own*
[05:06] <superwisor_wanna> what about nmap?
[05:07] <FishLightDesign> ok, so let me start off by saying what I am doing... I am an IT kid and basic web programmer at cakewebsites, a cool web company. I came in there and was superized that they were running a horrible vista machine as thier file server and backing up to a raid LACIE thing that wasent working
[05:07] <beerkid> coolierewind: I'm trying to set it up through command line, which I am new to
[05:07] <coolierewind> @beerkid 0 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/script/file.php "ubuntu"
[05:07] <Slix> I'm hearing a lot of different opinions about wine..
[05:07] <jah> i have an issue with an application i installed using the Ubuntu Software Center, if anyone is available and can read the output from when i execute the program and possibly offer me an insight into what the error is saying and possible solutions, please message me, Thanks
[05:07] <nullbyte> superwisor_wanna:  i dont know i have never used it
[05:07] <coolierewind> @beerkid http://www.developertutorials.com/blog/php/running-php-cron-jobs-regular-scheduled-tasks-in-php-172/
[05:07] <FishLightDesign> so i said "you should let me build you guys a linux server that won't crash like your stupid vista computer."
[05:07] <nullbyte> jah:  pm me
[05:07] <madcat1990> @Slix: in my opinion, wine is good, not perfect though. It does what its suposed to do and is updated regularly.
[05:08] <plustax> got a question for you guys. I'm on stickam and the chat looks all white and I cant see the menus and bars and sometimes it wont let me type
[05:08] <dooglus> in karmic, which file does the new gdm thing use to remember my default desktop environment?
[05:08] <FishLightDesign> she was like "ok, just tell me how much"
[05:08] <plustax> What to do?
[05:08] <madcat1990> @slix: you gotta face reality here ;D
[05:08] <nullbyte> FishLightDesign: i can help if you wanna pm me
[05:08] <plustax> do I need to update a driver or something?
[05:08] <bazhang> FishLightDesign, was there an ubuntu support question in there?
[05:08] <FishLightDesign> so i have been starting to price thing
[05:08] <FishLightDesign> oh, uh idk
[05:08] <bazhang> FishLightDesign, if you just wish to chat then join #ubuntu-offtopic please ; this is Ubuntu support only.
[05:08] <Slix> Reality is that Ubuntu is useless for me without games :(
[05:08] <tenach> nullbyte: Could we perhaps start a temporary channel?  I am interested...
[05:08] <plustax> ?
[05:08] <FishLightDesign> ok
[05:08] <FishLightDesign> cool
[05:08] <FishLightDesign> thnks
[05:09] <FishLightDesign> LATER!
[05:09] <FloodBot4> FishLightDesign: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:09] <FishLightDesign> sorrry
[05:09] <cmojallali> Can anyone help me with a sound issue?
[05:09] <madcat1990> its a bot, but it has an @ so :P be carefull
[05:09] <nullbyte> tenach:  sure you pick it
[05:09] <cmojallali> I have a 5,3 MacBook Pro?
[05:09] <madcat1990> @Cmojallali: What's up?
[05:10] <tenach> FishLightDesign, nullbyte ##server-setup
[05:10] <Hilikus> where are ufw rules stored?
[05:10] <cmojallali> ok so I just installed Ubuntu and i have a unibody MBP 5,3
[05:11] <madcat1990> @Cmojallali: go on
[05:11] <cmojallali> i did what this website told me to do :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Karmic#Sound
[05:11] <cmojallali> but still no luck, ive tried a bunch of times
[05:13] <beerkid> coolierewind: does that require #!usr/bin/php at the beginning of the php file?
[05:13] <beerkid> or just in crontab?
[05:14] <coolierewind> @beerkid that's the binary to execute it
[05:14] <excrete> i put coolierewind on ignore
[05:14] <brova> what exactly is the export command ? i cant make sense of this.
[05:15] <coolierewind> huh? @excrete why?
[05:15] <beerkid> so that is a yes? sorry im on my training wheels
[05:15] <excrete> i also put brova on ignore
[05:15] <piroko> So is there a way to disable pulseaudio without removing it and mucking up my dependencies?
[05:15] <excrete> and i put beerkid on ignore
[05:15] <bazhang> excrete, did you have a support question
[05:15]  * excrete puts piroko on ignore
[05:15]  * excrete also puts bazhang on ignore
[05:15] <bazhang> excrete, please stop that
[05:15] <lstarnes> bazhang: it's a troll
[05:15] <excrete> i put lstarnes on ignore
[05:16] <bazhang> lstarnes, thanks
[05:16] <Hilikus> did anyone else lose mythtv-backend after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10?
[05:16] <excrete> i put Hilikus on ignore
[05:17] <brova> thanks bahzang
[05:17] <brova> its kinda discouraging to learn linux having people like him around
[05:18] <kantlivelong> is there a way to reinstall default config files for packages?
[05:19] <Hilikus> did anyone else lose mythtv-backend after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10?
[05:20] <kinja-sheep> Hilikus: #mythbuntu
[05:20] <telaviv> karmic has not automatically asked to install the nvidia driver. How should i do it myself?
[05:21] <jarray52> telaviv: Have you tried sudo apt-get update?
[05:21] <Voss> I tried sudo apt-get alife but it told me I had broken packages ;-)
[05:22] <heihaier> The Great Firewall of China will block 80% foreign IP address next year!!!
[05:22] <madcat1990> I tried sudo apt-get girlfriend but the dependencies were too harsh
[05:22] <telaviv> strangely nothing. This is a fresh install and i haven't been asked about updates yet. I changed repository source though maybe that has something to do with it
[05:22] <Hilikus>  is the opensource nvidia driver outputing s-video these days or still nothing?
[05:22] <coolierewind> #nvidia
[05:23] <Voss> The nvidia driver is way better than it used to be for installation.
[05:23] <jarray52> telaviv: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers ?
[05:24] <telaviv> yeah nothing jarray52. Oddly enough the live cd automatically recognized and asked about it
[05:24] <jarray52> telaviv: What did it ask?
[05:24] <nicknamee> what i have do to recover grub after install windows?
[05:25] <kinja-sheep> !recovergrub | nicknamee
[05:25] <nicknamee> i acess grub comand line and root (hd0,0)    find stage1 but.. file stage not found
[05:25] <zomGreg> brova, I answered your export question above...are you still confused?
[05:25] <kinja-sheep> !recoveringgrub | nicknamee
[05:26] <telaviv> jarray52: the "hardware drivers" icon appeared at the top right and said something about non-free drivers and that ubuntu couldn't fix them if they don't work, yaddah yaddah :)
[05:26] <nicknamee> i try chroot reiserfs partition and grub-install /dev/sdax and not works because /dev/ hddevices not found
[05:26] <brova> zomGreg: yes i am
[05:26] <camilo> Hi guys... how can i extend folder size limit?
[05:26] <zomGreg> ok. if you don't "export" the variable, it will only be available in your current shell
[05:27] <zomGreg> exporting tells child shells about that variable.
[05:27] <zomGreg> but the variable will only persist in your current session. If you log off and come back, the variable will disappear.
[05:29] <zomGreg> but, in light of the amount of time you have before your test...if they didn't cover export in class, I wouldn't get in a twist over it at this point.
[05:29] <jarray52> telaviv: Not sure. I use the nvidia drivers. And, after a fresh install. I type sudo apt-get update at the terminal. Then, Ubuntu asks if I want to update. After the update, I goto System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. Then, I select the recommended version. However, it seems that you've tried these things already.
[05:29] <brova> zomGreg: one thing i do know that is on my exam is how to permanently change bash so i can execute from anywhere.
[05:30] <brova> zomGreg: i know everything else. i just struggling on this
[05:30] <telaviv> hmmmm :( well the updatemanager is currently running, lets see if that makes any difference jarray52
[05:30] <nicknamee> ten minutes for load ubuntu live.. it's so crap
[05:30] <jarray52> telaviv: You have to wait until the update manager is finished.
[05:30] <jarray52> telaviv: I have to wait for it to finish before adding the drivers.
[05:31] <zomGreg> maybe an example will help. I have a script that fetches my external ip address from www.whatismyip.com. I put this shell script in my home directory in: /home/zomGreg/bin
[05:31] <Callum_> !grub2
[05:31] <Callum_> mmm
[05:31] <Callum_> ...
[05:31] <Callum_> >_>?
[05:32] <zomGreg> to make that directory in my path: I have to do: export PATH=$PATH:/home/zomGreg/bin
[05:32] <inf1n1ty> Ubuntu locking up when running programs, anyone have ideas please whisper me. Thanks!
[05:32] <brova> zomGreg: i thought you said that makes a temporary change to $PATH
[05:32] <apanda> it is better to get ubuntu 8.04 instead of 8.10 if i need x-org to be at most version 7.4, right?
[05:32] <madcat1990> @inf1n1ty: upgrade your pc
[05:33] <jarray52> I setup tomcat6 on my machine. I changed the localhost in server.xml in 2 locations to an ip address. When I run nmap on 127.0.0.1, I still see port 8080 open after restarting tomcat. Anyone know what other config file I need to change to get rid of the open port 8080 on 127.0.0.1. I just want the port to be open on my ip address.
[05:33] <inf1n1ty> the pc isnt bad and we are talking about linux, I thought it runs on anything
[05:33] <zomGreg> temporary for my session. to make it permanent, put that line in .bashrc, because when you login, that file is referenced and the environment is initialized.
[05:34] <brova> ok well i have not once to this day seen any mention on .bashrc in class. and i am one of few students who have over 90%
[05:34] <error404notfound> i have attached another HDD to my current ubuntu install, its on LVM, is there any solution by which i can mount the LVs on that HDD to backup data?
[05:34] <madcat1990> @inf1n1ty : it does, but dude, don't install ubuntu on an old PC
[05:34] <madcat1990> @inf1n1ty : use lighter distros
[05:34] <girl_666_broken> bandung
[05:35] <centHOGG> what madcat1990 said
[05:35] <zomGreg> well goddam, what're you stressing for? .bashrc is a good thing to know, but if they didn't cover it, don't worry about it now.
[05:36] <brova> zomGreg: what im stressing about is my scholarship. i need to have a 90% min in all classes to keep my tuition free lol
[05:36] <zomGreg> well alrighty then.
[05:37] <brova> yeah lol. different story, thats why i want to make sure every thing is cemented into my brain. for lack of a better metaphor :)
[05:37] <bep> is the only difference between a minimal install and a full ubuntu install the "ubuntu-desktop" package?
[05:37] <zomGreg> to recap. If you execute the command PATH=$PATH:/some/dir, the PATH variable changes only for the current shell. If you execute the command export PATH=$PATH:/some/dir, the PATH variable will persist across shells for the current session.
[05:37] <kinja-sheep> !minimal | bep
[05:37] <apanda> should i get ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04? 8.04 will be supported longer, right?
[05:38] <centHOGG> LTS
[05:38] <bep> kinja-sheep: ya i know that, but i mean package wise. Right now I have a minimal install with certain applications and i would like to turn it into a full install
[05:38] <Free__> i think i broke my ubuntu hah i cant see phpinfo.php :)
[05:38] <zomGreg> and, for the final straw: if you add the export line to your .bashrc file, it will exists anytime you login and use a bash shell.
[05:38] <SnakDoc> there  a special switch needed to make g++ use templates ?
[05:38] <SnakDoc> in c++
[05:39] <kinja-sheep> bep: If you want a full desktop install, then you would want ubuntu-desktop.
[05:39] <zomGreg> I should say at this point that I'm hittin' the whiskey pretty hard so if you got more questions you better strike while I'm sober.
[05:39] <Voss> apanda, it depends on what you want to do with ubuntu
[05:39] <centHOGG> <jim beam
[05:39] <i3luefire> hi
[05:39] <bep> kinja-sheep: so doing ubuntu-desktop would include everything that would have been installed had I gone with the normal Ubuntu install disk?
[05:39] <Voss> How about ubuntu-everyflippinfile
[05:39] <zomGreg> scotch, macallan 12
[05:39] <four> im having some trouble with the sysmonitor screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, the uptime is covering up the list of running processes, anyone have any ideas?
[05:39] <apanda> play games voss and maybe some normal desktop / work use as well ;)
[05:40] <kinja-sheep> bep: Yes.
[05:40] <bep> ok just checking, dont want something left out and things being broken
[05:40] <Voss> apanda, I suggest 9.04 more up to date nvidia drivers , firefox and flash
[05:40] <kinja-sheep> bep: "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop"  You'll see a list of packages (and their dependencies) that would be installed.
[05:40] <jwfoxjr> I've got a ATI RS690 based card, under Karmic amd64, but the restricted ATI drivers are showing up under hardware drivers - how do I get them to show up so that I can install them?
[05:40] <bep> ok thanks
[05:40] <apanda> i have ati tho.. i need 8.x because of that
[05:41] <centHOGG> <radeon 1800xl
[05:41] <Voss> 9.10 isnt stable yet
[05:41] <centHOGG> for me ok
[05:42] <Voss> apanda, 9.04 wont work with it?
[05:42] <brova> hahah zomGreg. ok this is a bit off topic from what i have covered in class. but can you blame curiosity? what is a shell :(
[05:42] <i3luefire>  i just installed kubuntu 9.04 beta. it was the only disc i had. and now im trying to update & upgrade it to the latest versions but i am getting an error. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m224596fd can someone please help me?
[05:42] <brova> we only touched on there being different ones, and thats that
[05:43] <Jari--> seems like mount.ntfs has been taking shit load of CPU power, had to reboot, because could not find the reason of it
[05:43] <kinja-sheep> brova: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_shell
[05:44] <Jari--> Ubuntu 9.10 comes with some indexing service enabled per default?
[05:44] <apanda> i need the Xorg version to be 6.8-7.4 in order to use the ati binary driver voss, afaik 8.10 uses 7.4
[05:44] <xeer> I'm trying to install other packages, but mysql-server-5.1 keeps butting in trying to stop/start mysqld and then bails out saying "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code"
[05:44] <Voss> apanda, 9.04 and 9.10 both use 7.4 also
[05:44] <apanda> oO
[05:45] <xeer> I've tried removing this package, but it keeps starting the mysqld anyways
[05:45] <i3luefire> i  dont  like kubuntu i want my ubuntu back. or even xubuntu
[05:45] <apanda> well someone told me that the ati binary driver doesnt work because the Xorg(?) version is too new or something
[05:45] <xhan> totem keeps cutting out on streams then buffers back at a snails pace. the only way to fix it is to press pause and play, then it will start playing again immediately. can anyone know how to fix this?
[05:45] <blakkheim> don't buy from ati, enemy of your freedom
[05:46] <xeer> The only luck i've had with ati is with the radeon driver. try it and then move on with your life
[05:46] <centHOGG> ati rocks the windows world
[05:46] <flexman> anyone know how to fix my \| key so it stops giving me <>?
[05:46] <madcat1990> @Flexman : use the right keyboard layout
[05:46] <xeer> flexman: it gives you?
[05:46] <flexman> yeah i put it on asus notebook but no change
[05:47] <Free__> winblows
[05:47] <apanda> my ati is 5 years or so old, not much i can change about that purchase now :p
[05:47] <xeer> I'm trying to install other packages, but mysql-server-5.1 keeps butting in trying to stop/start mysqld and then bails out saying "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code" I've tried removing this package, but it keeps starting the mysqld anyways
[05:47] <Voss> apanda I would try 9.04
[05:47] <i3luefire> does anyone in here know how to fix my problem?
[05:47] <xeer> i3luefire: you can install ubuntu-desktop
[05:47] <centHOGG> i3luefire: reinstall?
[05:48] <apanda> no, i've found threads of others using 9.04 with the same problem with a similar card voss :/
[05:48] <xeer> did i say that?
[05:48] <apanda> so i just wanted to know whether 8.04 or 8.10 makes more sense for long term use..
[05:48] <xeer> i3luefire: use synaptic, choose xubuntu and at the gnome login manage you can select the xubuntu session
[05:48] <Voss> apanda, 8.10 uses 7.4 as well. 8.04 uses 7.3
[05:48] <kinja-sheep> apanda: 8.04 LTS -- The next major upgrade will be in 5 months.
[05:49] <i3luefire> xeer: if i try to add any software i get those errors
[05:49] <xeer> what errors, you've mentioned no errors since I've joined this channel
[05:50] <i3luefire>  i just installed kubuntu 9.04 beta. it was the only disc i had. and now im trying to update & upgrade it to the latest versions but i am getting an error. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m224596fd can someone please help me?
[05:50] <apanda> ok i guess 8.04 it is then, ty.. altho the ati driver mentions 7.4 is supposed to work too..
[05:50] <apanda> these are the ati release notes for the last driver that supports my card https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_93_linux.pdf
[05:51] <flexman> according to ubuntu i am using the correct keyboard layout but still no worky any thoughts?
[05:51] <Voss> Do you have a desktop or laptop?
[05:51] <ubunewb> Is there a good web proxy that plays flash videos?
[05:51] <Voss> apanda
[05:51] <flexman> laptop
[05:52] <apanda> desktop, not the mobility one.. its a radeon 9600 pro
[05:52] <centHOGG> old
[05:52] <ubunewb> anyone?
[05:53] <Aesir> ?
[05:53] <ubunewb> Aesir: <ubunewb> Is there a good web proxy that plays flash videos?
[05:54] <Aesir> sure
[05:54] <ubunewb> which is?
[05:54] <i3luefire> xeer: did you get the pastebin?
[05:55] <Aesir> black box search
[05:55] <Aesir> web based proxy service
[05:55] <Aesir> allows you to go just through a web page to any web pages you want
[05:55] <Aesir> or
[05:55] <xeer> i3luefire: no and frankly I've lost interest.
[05:55] <apanda> quote by ati: "The Linux ATI Catalyst™ driver will only be supported in Linux distributions prior to February 2009 for the legacy products listed above."
[05:56] <centHOGG> yup
[05:56] <Aesir> if you use firefox you can get the addon PhProxy
[05:56] <Aesir> simple
[05:56] <Aesir> usually works
[05:56] <xeer> The ATI driver for linux doesn't work on my X1600's, pretty much it's only for old system.
[05:56] <Aesir> can use it as a work around for megavideo video watching
[05:57] <apanda> tbh i just wanted to try gaming on linux because my windows 2000 install is getting really old now and i had hoped to get better performance in the long run ;)
[05:57] <xeer> "megavideo video"?
[05:57] <Aesir> since it cuts out after about an hour of play time, just load the page through phproxy and hit refresh
[05:57] <i3luefire> well does anyone else want to try to help me upgrade from kubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.10? i cant find synaptic and i get errors when i try to update or add anything
[05:57] <Aesir> 'megavideo (tm/website) video (movie)'
[05:58] <i3luefire> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m224596fd
[05:58] <centHOGG> reinstall
[05:58] <Crash8308> hey all, Anyone know when the nm-applet bug will be fixed in how it shows up as a second sound icon int he notification tray?
[05:58] <Aesir> yea
[05:58] <i3luefire> i just installed
[05:58] <Crash8308> or if there is a fix for it?
[05:58] <DasEi> xeer: karmic ?
[05:59] <i3luefire> like 10 minutes ago
[05:59] <xeer> DasEi: yes
[05:59] <xeer> I fixed my problem. ended up having to create a symbolic link to the mysqld.sock so it would function properly. Though I don't see how this would cause any interference with aptitude
[05:59] <Free__> i went to var/www and theres phpinfo.php in there just an index.html
[05:59] <centHOGG> i3luefire: ok, so the install went ok right?
[05:59] <Free__> *theres not
[06:00] <Free__> i installed php5\apache
[06:00] <rustyshackleford> i'm playing an avi file, and both totem and mplayer say the file is done after only a few seconds. I believe there must be a problem with the way they are interpreting the avi file. anyone else encountered this?
[06:00] <i3luefire> centHOGG: it appears so
[06:00] <xeer> Free__: you konw, it's not very hard to make a phpinfo.php
[06:00] <Free__> when i navigate to localhost\phpinfo.php i get nothing
[06:00] <rustyshackleford> where does the php.ini file reside?
[06:00] <lolo88> hi all
[06:00] <xeer> Free__: <?php phpinfo(); ?>
[06:00] <Aesir> try using VLC player
[06:00] <rustyshackleford> oh
[06:00] <Crash8308> rather, does anyone know how to fix the nm-applet bug?
[06:00] <centHOGG> i3luefire: great
[06:00] <Free__> thanks
[06:00] <xeer> rustyshackleford: try "whereis php.ini"
[06:01] <lolo88> need help with apt-get what is this ?
[06:01] <apanda> so my chances of getting my pc with an ati card to perform better in games (with some background servertype apps) running under linux are slim to none compared to windows?
[06:01] <mezquitale> Crash8308, try launchpad
[06:01] <xeer> lolo88: lets you install packages via command line
[06:01] <lstarnes> lolo88: what is what>
[06:01] <i3luefire> centHOGG: but i cant update anything
[06:01] <jarray52> I setup tomcat6 on my machine. I changed the localhost in server.xml in 2 locations to an ip address. When I run nmap on 127.0.0.1, I still see port 8080 open after restarting tomcat. Anyone know what other config file I need to change to get rid of the open port 8080 on 127.0.0.1. I just want the port to be open on my ip address.
[06:01] <Crash8308> mezquitale: the forums?
[06:01] <xeer> i3luefire: sounds like you'd be better off using windows
[06:01] <lolo88> so can i get back track in this ?
[06:01] <mezquitale> !bugs
[06:01] <rustyshackleford> xeer: did not know that command existed. so sweet
[06:01] <Hilikus> where are the ufw rules stored?
[06:01] <centHOGG> i3luefire: I think i'd try something else
[06:02] <lolo88> so can i get back track in this ?
[06:02] <kinja-sheep> !bt | lolo88
[06:02] <kinja-sheep> !backtrack | lolo88
[06:03] <i3luefire> centHOGG: like what?
[06:03] <mezquitale> Crash8308, if its  a known bug they should br working on it in launchpad.net
[06:03] <centHOGG> well try another version
[06:03] <Khul> helloooooooo
[06:03] <rustyshackleford> xeer: odd. it lists usr/bin/php, as expected, but when i try to navigate to that dir (either as user or root) it tells me the dir does not exist. do I need to stop apache?
[06:03] <xeer> lmao! Funny story.. I've spent the last hour compiling a program to break into HTTP Basic Auth so I could open ports on this router I also broke into, only to find that my torrent is chuggin along fine!
[06:03] <lolo88> well whats the best way to test my wifi ? \
[06:04] <xeer> rustyshackleford: it's not a directory. it's an executable
[06:04] <i3luefire> how to get another ver without going thru a complete reinstall
[06:04] <lwizard1> I was wondering what type of rack mountable server cases would allow for full size standard pci cards ? would it be a 2U or 3U ?
[06:04] <robbmunson> i3luefire: of ubutnu? as in from like gutsy to hardy?
[06:04] <xeer> lwizard1: I've seen both with PCI slots
[06:04] <lolo88> well whats the best way to test my wifi ? \
[06:05] <xeer> lolo88: are you on your wifi connection right now?
[06:05] <i3luefire> robbmunson: from 9.04 to 9.10
[06:05] <centHOGG> lolo88: ever tried DD-WRT on your router?
[06:05] <lolo88> yes i am
[06:05] <robbmunson> !upgrade | i3luefire
[06:05] <rustyshackleford> xeer: right. i'm dumb. that's why its in ../bin/  but whereis php.ini directs me there and to a gzipped php.1.gz
[06:05] <xeer> lolo88: then why would you need to test it? seems to be working fine.
[06:05] <lolo88> no how do i do that ?
[06:06] <xeer> rustyshackleford: if those are the only two files you have, then you don't have a php.ini
[06:06] <somebody> Hi all,
[06:06] <apanda> is it a good idea to boot to windows to install 8.04 using wubi? im running 9.10 wubi installed now.. or is it safe to use lubi when already running mounted on an ntfs host?
[06:06] <robbmunson> i3luefire: just follow the instructions on the website and hopefully it will all just seamlessly upgrade everything to the current :)
[06:06] <xeer> rustyshackleford: you can use a default one provided by the php install
[06:06] <somebody> I am trying to use UBI. Is this on the Alternate CD?
[06:06] <i3luefire> robbmunson: Thank You!
[06:06] <robbmunson> i3luefire: welcome ;)
[06:06] <xeer> lolo88: try http://speedtest.net
[06:06] <lolo88> be cuse i think some one bulite a back door / cracked it
[06:07] <rustyshackleford> xeer: php is installed. and yet I have no such php.ini install file. from whence would i get it?
[06:07] <DasEi> somebody: wubi ?
[06:07] <somebody> The windows installer for Ubuntu
[06:07] <xeer> rustyshackleford: you can find some on google
[06:07] <EastDallas> Somebody:  Wubi
[06:07] <lolo88> be cuse i think some one bulite a back door / cracked it
[06:08] <EastDallas> Somebody:  There is an installer called UBI, but you don't want to use it.
[06:08] <DasEi> somebody: I can't recommend it, but :
[06:08] <DasEi> !wubi
[06:08] <lolo88> be cuse i think some one bulite a back door / cracked it
[06:08] <st0kes420> whats good whats good
[06:08] <lstarnes> lolo88: you've already said that
[06:08] <EastDallas> Somebody: If you install from within windows it will just set up the dual boot on it's own.
[06:08] <rustyshackleford> xeer: ok, alright, and that would explain why some of my settings are set at the lowest possible level... ok, its starting to click. I installed all of this through apt-get though. was that  file supposed to be a part of the standard install? and if so, any thoughts why i didn't get one on install.
[06:08] <lolo88> i know but its not right
[06:09] <EastDallas> Somebody:  I've got a laptop set up that way and it works just great.
[06:09] <lolo88> they keep geting in to my pc
[06:09] <somebody> I am doing it for a famil member
[06:09] <somebody> It won't touch their Windows install, will it?
[06:10] <mezquitale> lolo88, youre uwsing ubuntu?
[06:10] <EastDallas> Somebody: No, it creates a file that mimicks a partition
[06:10] <xeer> rustyshackleford: you did, it's just neatly tucked away in your file system
[06:10] <lolo88> yes 4 3 monts now
[06:10] <lolo88> and i love it
[06:10] <somebody> Ok
[06:10] <somebody> Thanks
[06:10] <EastDallas> Somebody:  If they don't like it, they can just uninstall it like any other software.
[06:10] <xeer> lolo88: I don't think that's the problem. have you tried changing your passwords and security questions?
[06:10] <somebody> Thanks for all your help
[06:10] <somebody> Good Night.
[06:11] <mezquitale> lolo88, what makes you think your distro is hacked?
[06:11] <lolo88> yes every 2/ to 4 days i just dont get it
[06:12] <psicobra> any one know anything about wine? it runs perfectly but i cannot save my games in portal i have googled and it seems to be something to do with folder permissions but i own the folder any suggestions
[06:12] <rustyshackleford> xeer: i really appreciate your patience. I want to change a number of my PHP settings (e.g. increase the max_execution_time, up the memory_limit). I have come to understand that I need to adjust these in a php.ini text file. is downloading one and editing it to my specifications easiest? how can i get ahold of the one currently on my system as a text file?
[06:13] <lolo88> cuse my pc says when i start it up pc has been hacked / fbi was here ????
[06:13] <chmod_> hii
[06:13] <xeer> rustyshackleford: do you know how to access super user?
[06:13] <rustyshackleford> xeer: answered my own - it was in /etc/php5/apache2 go find
[06:13] <four> im having some trouble with the sysmonitor screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, the uptime is covering up the list of running processes, anyone have any ideas?
[06:13] <chmod_> just type su
[06:14] <rustyshackleford> xeer: i have root unlocked
[06:14] <mezquitale> lolo88, eactly at what point does that happen?  when you log into ubuntu?
[06:14]  * xeer facepalms
[06:14] <xeer> rustyshackleford: you fail
[06:15] <xeer> rustyshackleford: you've also advertised for everyone in this channel (that's halfway intelligent) to break into your system.

So far, I've been able to install and boot onto each of the OSes at different times, but now I'm stuck with OS X and W 7 because W7 put its own bootloader in place. I have supergrubdisk… how do I reinstate grub without messing up Mac's EFI?
[06:25] <yo_rmn> nothing happened

[06:26] <yo_rmn> oh,
[06:26] <Free__> theres like 8000 directories
[06:26] <somebody> You won't mess us EFI As afar as I know.
[06:26] <lolo88> lol
[06:26] <somebody> I'm not sure though.
[06:27] <yo_rmn> zoug, can't swear on this channel pal
[06:27] <yo_rmn> XDXDXD
[06:27] <robbmunson> Free__: i forget >.<
[06:27] <scunizi> Free__: are you having issues with apache and a cms?
[06:27] <lolo88> be nice
[06:27] <zoug> yo_rmn: okay...   -_-
[06:27] <Free__> no i'm having issues chmodding all the subdirectories
[06:27] <Free__> for example chmod 777 /software/
[06:27] <yo_rmn> wht if..
[06:27] <Free__> doesnt do like /software/1 /software/2
[06:27] <Free__> or software/2/1
[06:27] <Free__> all the sub directories
[06:27] <yo_rmn> i set chmod back to default? none?
[06:27] <xeer> Free__: use the -R argument, it means recursive
[06:27] <scunizi> Free__: if it's a web server then you want to be a member of www-data to move files to it..
[06:28] <adam_0> how would I set GRUB to be my bootloader and not Windows 7's bootloader?
[06:28] <xeer> Free__: chmod -R user:group /directory/file
[06:28] <Free__> thanks
[06:28] <somebody> Adam, Use a UBuntu Live CD
[06:28] <xeer> Free__: and next time you don't know how to use a program, use "man APP" like, "man chmod"
[06:28] <zoug> yo_rmn: what would that do when you dont even know for sure whether its running or not
[06:29] <somebody> I get a resize error when installing Ubuntu. It says that there was an error writting the changes to the storage medium. Then it says that the resize operation was aborted. How can I fix this?
[06:29] <adam_0> somebody: thanks, I'll try that
[06:29] <lolo88> need to get my hands on an older linux for a dell optiplex gx270
[06:29] <yo_rmn> HM.. sure
[06:29] <xeer> somebody: back up your data, erase the hard drive try again. if no go, get a new hard drive
[06:29] <somebody> No problem
[06:29] <Free__> =]
[06:29] <Free__> thanks
[06:29] <centHOGG> puppy
[06:29] <yo_rmn> it does this:
[06:29] <Free__> i appreciate it
[06:29] <robbmunson> lolo88: have you tried putting xubuntu on it?
[06:29] <somebody> This is a very new drive
[06:30] <xeer> somebody: you probably have a bad partition
[06:30] <yo_rmn> takes power of desktop drawing in order to set a vid on bottm
[06:30] <lolo88> yea but eifi not working ???
[06:30] <lolo88> sorry wifi
[06:30] <robbmunson> lolo88: do you have access to the router?
[06:30] <zoug> yo_rmn: can you get a imagebin?
[06:30] <yo_rmn> first goes well, but it does not set anythin on bottom
[06:30] <lolo88> yes
[06:31] <yo_rmn> for what? you will see my DTop
[06:31] <somebody> Yes, I know I do. The Windows Defragmenter said that it could not defagment some files. I don't know what to do
[06:31] <robbmunson> lolo88: temporarily plug in the cable and try installing the madwifi package or something.
[06:31] <zoug> yo_rmn: what is "takes power of desktop drawing in order to set a vid on bottm" dont really get it
[06:32] <yo_rmn> like... it is suposed to set a vid or SSaver
[06:32] <lolo88> o right on ill try that thanks
[06:32] <yo_rmn> like a-desk script
[06:32] <somebody> Is there anything I can do to proceed
[06:32] <somebody> ?
[06:32] <robbmunson> lolo88: I mean try plugging in the network cable temporarily and sudo aptitude install madwifi, then unplug the cable and restart your computer ;)
[06:32]  * robbmunson might not have the exact package name right but im pretty sure madwifi could help out.
[06:33] <yo_rmn> on desktop bottom so it does ---replace of th previoss (compiz) dsktop drawer
[06:33] <lolo88> thanks im ganna look that up
[06:33] <robbmunson> if not, we might have to go in and possibly grab the driver manually.
[06:33] <lolo88> well im out time to kick it with the wif
[06:34] <somebody> I really want to get Ubuntu onto this machine. The Windows Defragmenter said it could not defragment some files. Now I get a resize error
[06:34] <somebody> What can I try?
[06:34] <yo_rmn> like --nutilus-no-deskyop?
[06:35] <yo_rmn> like that
[06:35] <yo_rmn> nautilus --no-desktop
[06:35] <centHOGG> reinstall
[06:35] <yo_rmn> this is running
[06:35] <yo_rmn> so gconf-editor should do!
[06:36] <yo_rmn> i'll be right back
[06:36] <somebody> I'll be back
[06:36] <somebody> Hold on
[06:37] <gheddy_zarc> in compizconfig settings manager, general options, desktop size, I seem unable to increase number of desktops beyond 2, Im using karmic, option to increase desktop is "grayed out" and cannot be changed ??
[06:37] <yo_rmn> yah, I solved it
[06:37] <yo_rmn> how desktop was unmarked
[06:37] <yo_rmn> Bye
[06:37] <ellie> hello everyone. i've searched google about people achieving to install karmic on netbooks. just to note. does it take more than 30 minutes for the OS to boot from a live cd?
[06:38] <yo_rmn> seeyalll
[06:38] <chris_> ellie: no
[06:38] <yo_rmn> ellie no way
[06:38] <lich> 有趣 但是看不懂
[06:38] <hiatus> More then 30 minutes on a netbook? No
[06:38] <ellie> chris_ i install jaunty and it boots fast off a usb. karmic takes forever
[06:38] <lich> 有没有会中文的？
[06:39] <chris_> sounds like hardware confkuict
[06:39] <perkoigaga> can anyone help me whit mic boost... i forgot what command to tipe to get that terminal mixer... :)
[06:39] <ellie> doesn't even show the app menu..just the circle thing going round and round forever
[06:39] <chris_> ellie: install jaunty then try update
[06:39] <hiatus> Installing ubuntu on some solid state drive netbooks can take hours. But that's because some ssd's have awful write speeds
[06:40] <disturb_> hi folks
[06:40] <chris_> ellie: do you have jaunty installed/?
[06:41] <ellie> hiatus: this is a new netbook. asus 1005ha; some people say they installed just fine. i wonder how mine takes forever. i tried UNR/Karmic. eeebuntu and easy peasy booted fine
[06:41] <a5an0> hi disturb
[06:41] <disturb_> i'm looking for a file tagging / indexing solution ...
[06:41] <disturb_> is there anything better than tracker ?
[06:41] <hiatus> I thought upgrades from jaunty where not reccomended?
[06:41] <chris_> ellie: could be a bad image. try re downloading
[06:41] <ellie> chris yes i do. there is too much work around for the wifi. got it to work but its buggy
[06:42] <hiatus> Ellie: did you try a regular ubuntu install. In my opinion its better then unr
[06:42] <ellie> torrent or ftp?
[06:42] <chris_> hiatus: oh yeah. i found that out the hard way
[06:42] <robbmunson> hiatus: well, its definately not recommended for a beginner to upgrade to lucid but its always a possibility, either which way...if youre going to use Lucid youre going to have to get support for it in #ubuntu+1 ;)
[06:42] <ellie> hiatus: i did try a regular buntu too.
[06:42] <chris_> robbmunson: i def dont recommend it for anyone not familiar with X
[06:43] <hiatus> How odd, are you installing from cd or usb?
[06:43] <robbmunson> chris_: well, also true.
[06:43] <ellie> even linuxmint8 cannot boot.
[06:43] <ellie> usb drive
[06:44] <hiatus> Usinh unetbootin I assume?
[06:44] <chris_> must be a kernel issue
[06:44] <ellie> just to note. i use unetbootin on windows xp
[06:45] <chris_> unetbootin is not suggested for a primary install
[06:46] <khelvan> I have unzipped an archive on my web server via ssh, but I need to move all the files and directories to a new location. What would be the appropriate command to do so? mv * /new/path/ ?
[06:46] <chris_> mr -r
[06:46] <chris_> sorry
[06:46] <chris_> mv -r
[06:46] <hiatus> It does sound like a kernel conflict, best bet is to just stick with jaunty untill its resolved
[06:46] <apanda> can i have 2 different linux installs installed from wubi at the same time?
[06:47] <chris_> apanda: try it out
[06:47] <chris_> probably wont let you
[06:47] <ellie> hiatus: will this happen when i use my regular laptop? i have yet to install karmic in it yet
[06:47] <jgould> 
[06:48] <chris_> ellie: does what kind of graphics chip is in your netbook?
[06:48] <ellie> i am going to test it out
[06:48] <hiatus> If its a kernel issue, no
[06:49] <MikeChelen> anyone know if AverMedia tuner cards are Ubuntu compatible? all the results from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaAverMedia are very old
[06:49] <DasEi> chris_:why not use unetbootin to install ? saves cd
[06:49] <hiatus> I install using unetbootin from usb all the time. It tends to be faster then from cd
[06:49] <ellie> chris_ Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family
[06:49] <chris_> mikeChelen: try checking out the mythbuntu site. There might be some info ther
[06:49] <chris_> ellie: there is your problm
[06:49] <chris_> The intel chips SUCK right now
[06:50] <ellie> what?
[06:50] <khelvan> chris_ - would that be mv -r * or mv * -r? (Or does it matter?)
[06:50] <MikeChelen> chris_: will do, thanks, my guess is that compatibility isn't much of an issue anymore
[06:50] <DasEi> !hardware | also MikeChelen , apart from googling ubuntu+model
[06:50] <ellie> so i won't be able to install karmic?
[06:50] <ellie> at all?
[06:51] <chris_> ellie: im sure you could some how. gotta dig.
[06:51] <MikeChelen> DasEi: that's where im looking now, all the info for this company is from - 06-07
[06:51] <chris_> let me share a link with you.. one min
[06:51] <ellie> thanks chris
[06:51] <hiatus> Linux drivers need to be written by the community sometimes and then they are applied to the kernel.  So you will have to wait until your hasrdware, which is pretty new to be supported
[06:52] <DasEi> MikeChelen: google often leads to the forum-posts, might add it to the list, if succesfull, is it attached or do you plan it ?
[06:53] <ellie> oops
[06:53] <MikeChelen> DasEi: looking to order, if it's incompatible i'd get something else
[06:54] <BlackDalek> How do I make my ubuntu 9.10 system visible on a Vista network?
[06:54] <chris_> ellie: i cant find any relevant docs right now.  if you google ubuntu and intel graphics you will find some old info. Im guessing because your processer is probably arm or atom, it does not play well with the graphics chip and 9.10
[06:54] <DasEi> MikeChelen: certain model ?
[06:54] <ellie> atom
[06:55] <askvictor> how can I get rid of old kernels from /boot in 9.04?
[06:55] <chris_> yeah bummer.. have you tried the ubuntu netbook os?
[06:55] <ellie> hmm... well thank everyone. i should research more before buying a product.
[06:55] <chris_> askvictor: do you mean remove them from the grub menu?
[06:55] <MikeChelen> DasEi: yup, AVerMedia AVerTVHD Bravo PCTV Tuner MTVHDBRAR
[06:55] <DasEi> askvictor: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst , uninstall them
[06:55] <askvictor> uninstall
[06:55] <askvictor> duh; I guess that would be via apt
[06:55] <chris_> elli: dont worry, soon enough it will work
[06:56] <ellie> easy peasy was good but too slow for my taste
[06:56] <DasEi> askvictor: or synaptic (more comfortable)
[06:56] <hiatus> If you want fast, you should use crunchbang
[06:56]  * askvictor slaps forehead
[06:56] <cyberjorge> hi, what that  /boot/grub/grub.conf equivalent in grub2?
[06:56] <SwedeMike> !grub2 | cyberjorge
[06:56] <hiatus> Its based on jaunty still I believe too
[06:57] <MikeChelen> yup crunchbang is good, also xubuntu depending on system specs
[06:57] <chris_> ellie: you could always try a debian net install and build your system by adding the ubuntu repos... more advanced but might be fun
[06:57] <Dirtyelf> i lost my program buttons on the taskbar
[06:57] <Dirtyelf> what should i do
[06:57] <ellie> i was looking into that today.
[06:58] <chris_> Dirtyself: right click and "add docklets"
[06:58] <MikeChelen> DasEi: google doesn't find anyone mentioning problems, but there is nothing conclusive
[06:58] <chris_> "add to panel"
[06:58] <ellie> i actually found a good guide to do it.
[06:58] <DasEi> MikeChelen: I found few, let me read
[06:59] <Dirtyelf> thanks add to panel then docklets?
[06:59] <hiatus> Eh, debian is always either tooo stable for me, or not stable enough
[06:59] <chris_> dirtyelf: add to panel and then "menu bar"
[06:59] <MikeChelen> DasEi: awesome, thanks
[07:00] <Dirtyelf> ah, thats it thanks!
[07:00] <chris_> hiatus: i recenty did a net debian net install and it almost made me want to go back to that old win 95 look just because it was so stable
[07:01] <phphorse> what I can do with bin-files?
[07:01] <hiatus> Lmao
[07:01] <chris_> bin files or bin-files ?
[07:01] <hiatus> Indeed, debian stable takes a certain kinda mentality
[07:02] <lwizard1> does anyone know of a opensource application builder sorta like Visual Basic ? looking for something that would allow the application to be visually developed and also able to run on multiple os systems
[07:03] <wgrant> lwizard1: Have a look at 'quickly'
[07:03] <chris_> lwizard hmm.. what language ?
[07:03] <phphorse> ok, the bin-file is a java file.
[07:03] <Dirtyelf> actually that didn't doi t.  i still don't have the program buttons on my taskbar..
[07:04] <chris_> which programs?
[07:04] <lwizard1> chris_, well I don't know really any true programming languages but I d know some C/C++ but I am open to any really
[07:04] <Dirtyelf> anything that is open
[07:04] <Dirtyelf> irc etc
[07:04] <Dirtyelf> i got rid of it some how
[07:04] <lwizard1> just so long as I could run the application built from it on either Linux, Windows, or OSX
[07:04] <Dirtyelf> maybe i should try logging out and back in
[07:05] <Fudge> any howtos anyone know of to get alsa working?
[07:05] <hiatus> Python!
[07:05] <chris_> Dirtyelf, try googling your problem. i know i have seen your answer in the ubuntu forums before
[07:06] <chris_> lwizard1: i would go with java netbeans
[07:06] <lwizard1> hiatus, I have looked at python and it seems that would work but I am not sure of a true GUI type of WYSIWYG builder
[07:06] <chris_> netbeans has a sort of "visual basic" type editor.
[07:06] <sweetandy> lwizard1: glade?
[07:07] <sweetandy> lwizard1: requires gtk+ though. But works with python great.
[07:07] <lwizard1> sweetandy, I have tried that before and never got it to start without crashing
[07:08] <Linux4Family> hello  to all
[07:08] <hiatus> I just heard about django. It seems to be some sort of aid in developing python apps, but I'm not sure
[07:08] <chris_> ive used django.
[07:08] <hiatus> What's up with django, is that a wysiwyg
[07:08] <Linux4Family> i want to hide a file in home dir  how i can do it
[07:09] <hiatus> Cryptkeeper linux4family
[07:09] <chris_> django  is more of a framework
[07:09] <sweetandy> Linux4Family: rename it with a . at the front.
[07:09] <lwizard1> see what I am trying to do is build a cash register application to suit my needs because I can not find one that does it without needing to have 3 applications running to do different things
[07:09] <chris_> linux4family but a . in
[07:10] <chris_> lwizard: you might want to check out monodevelop
[07:10] <hiatus> Bah, mono >.<
[07:10] <chris_> hiatus: lol
[07:10] <hiatus> I would ask the python channel
[07:11] <lwizardl> hiatus, ok i will do that
[07:11] <Dirtyelf> eh "windows list"
[07:11] <chris_> lwizardl: i think your best and easiest way may be to use python with pygame for you GUI. pygame is real easy to work with
[07:11] <Dirtyelf> duh
[07:12] <aaaoooaaa> hi guys, i need some help with grep. Im trying to convert my grep results into csv form, is this possible?
[07:12] <chris_> dirty: lol at least you got it
[07:12] <Dirtyelf> yeah, thanks
[07:12] <lwizardl> chris_ will pygame allow me to creat differnt screens for stuff as like f1 - f12 ?
[07:12] <chris_> aaaooooaaa: grep | awk $1 $1 $ 3 >> file .. hmm
[07:13] <Dirtyelf> anyone succesful installing wow on ubuntu via wine?
[07:13] <chris_> llwizardl http://pygame.org/wiki/tutorials
[07:14] <Linux4Family> tank you
[07:14] <aaaoooaaa> this is my sample data that Im trying to convert to csv : http://pastebin.com/m412b80d6
[07:14] <lwizardl> chris_ thanks will look at that
[07:15] <DasEi> MikeChelen: mostly windows that, can't filter it out the site, try yourself : http://tiny.cc/hV7XW
[07:15] <chris_> aaoooo: i think you are going to have to write a bash that can handle a bunch of arrays and write them to file in the correct order
[07:16] <chris_> lwizardl: just because its called pygame doesnt mean you have to use it for a game. its a graphical interface for python
[07:16] <hiatus> Dirtyelf: I don't play wow, but lots of linux users do
[07:16] <four> im having some trouble with the sysmonitor screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, the uptime is covering up the list of running processes, anyone have any ideas?
[07:16] <MikeChelen> DasEi: what is that list?
[07:17] <DasEi> MikeChelen: looked like a offer including the card and ubuntu
[07:17] <aaaoooaaa> chris_: ummm could you repeat that again ? :D
[07:18] <yo_rmn> compiz plugin feewins makes my systm freeze
[07:19] <ImJJames> Hi
[07:19] <Hilikus> is it a  bad idea to put /etc along with /home in a different partition?
[07:19] <chris_> aaaaooooo  check out this http://www.linuxconfig.org/Bash_scripting_Tutorial
[07:20] <chris_> keywords: arrays, awk
[07:20] <DasEi> MikeChelen: http://tiny.cc/uDkNV
[07:20] <ImJJames> I have a question which Distro will run faster on a old laptop xubuntu or ubuntu>
[07:20] <Flannel> Hilikus: You can't put /etc in a separate partition, but /home is good to put separately
[07:20] <chris_> xubuntu
[07:20] <DasEi> ImJJames: xubu,
[07:20] <ImJJames> ty
[07:21] <chris_> imjames you could even install fluxbox and make it faster :)
[07:21] <ImJJames> 850mhz 256mb should get xubuntu running smoothly eh?
[07:21] <DasEi> Hilikus: bad not, why etc ?
[07:21] <ImJJames> fluxbox interesting.. ill read into that
[07:21] <DasEi> ImJJames: specs of that machine ?
[07:21] <yo_rmn> m system freezes when I activate freewins plugin, is my oc not good enoguh? I don't think so
[07:21] <chris_> imjjames: even xubuntu is starting to require some more horses.. i would look into puppy or DSL as a distro
[07:22] <yo_rmn> PC*
[07:22] <hiatus> Ubuntu minimal with lxde for easy use and ultimate minimalism
[07:22] <ImJJames> 850 mhz 256mb
[07:22] <Flannel> hiatus: That's Lubuntu, actually.
[07:22] <DasEi> ImJJames: ah, above, yes xubu would work, I'd recommend:
[07:22] <DasEi> !minimal
[07:23] <aaaoooaaa> chris_: cool thanks
[07:23] <DasEi> and icewm, for faster
[07:23] <hiatus> Lubuntu uses a normal install, not a minimal install
[07:23] <ImJJames> I will mainly be using it for web surfing (streaming video's etc)
[07:23] <Flannel> No, you don't want the minimal CD, you want the Alternate CD
[07:23] <aaaoooaaa> chris_: so I hav to write a scritp
[07:23] <Flannel> hiatus: What do you mean by "Ubuntu Minimal"
[07:23] <hiatus> I had lxde and ubuntu minimal running at 85mb of ram
[07:24] <chris_> aaaaaoooo if you are trying to get results from a command in the terminal then that might be difficult. i would write a script
[07:24] <robbmunson> hiatus: please describe what you mean by "minimal".....
[07:24] <MikeChelen> DasEi: managed to find a helpful compatibility guide from http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCIe_Cards though this card isn't listed specifically
[07:24] <DasEi> ImJJames: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[07:25] <hiatus> Flannel: google ubuntu minimal is a ubuntu iso which will bring you up to command line and you just aptget what you want
[07:25] <robbmunson> hiatus: ahhh mini.iso ;)
[07:25] <Flannel> hiatus: The mini ISO is the same ISO as the alternate CD, just without the packages.
[07:25] <DasEi> MikeChelen: for usual, even unsupported cards cause hits on google, so I'd be carefull and choose another one, maybe figure the chip and tray again
[07:25] <DasEi> try*
[07:26] <Flannel> hiatus: Instead, it downloads the packages from the internet.  It doesn't give you a smaller version than anything else, you can get the same results installing  a"command line only" system from the alternate CD
[07:26] <DasEi> Flannel: and a nice base for icewm or such
[07:27] <hiatus> Nothing wrong with that
[07:27] <Flannel> hiatus: No, there's nothing wrong with that, but Lubuntu would be the same thing.
[07:27] <hiatus> Lubuntu has a lot of gnome still in it and various prestarting programs you don't need is all
[07:28] <hiatus> At least, the last time I checked
[07:28] <Flannel> hiatus: No, I believe you're thinking of Xubuntu.  Although, packages.ubuntu.com is slow, so I can't check at the moment
[07:30] <chris_> im outta here.
[07:30] <hiatus> I dunno, I was around when they first repackaging lubuntu and the dude was just using ubuntu with gnome plus lxde, and I thought that idea was a huge failure. Stopped paying attention since though
[07:30] <devD> how to slove boot time error , "splash error:connection refused "

[07:32] <ImJJames> ubuntu netbook remix looks interesting
[07:33] <hiatus> imjjames: ubuntu netbook remix isn't light
[07:33] <hiatus> Its just for netbooks since they have small monitors
[07:34] <ImJJames> oh
[07:34] <ImJJames> well I want it light but I want the graphics to be nice for videos and images etc
[07:35] <ImJJames> okay well I just put a order in for xubutin 9.10
[07:35] <ImJJames> lol

[07:36] <sri__> Ubuntu studio 8.04 is a LTS version???
[07:37] <Slart> sri__: I don't think the Ubuntu Studio variant is a official distro from canonical.. so I guess the answer would be no
[07:44] <MajinHeartless> hey guys, do you know if there is any possibility to make Cricket USB Modem to work on Ubuntu (the 3g one)

[07:48] <hiatus> Anybody use gnash?
[07:48] <robbmunson> hiatus: just ask your other question ;)
[07:49] <hiatus> Hm?
[07:49] <isolat3dsh33p> hiatus: no
[07:51] <MikeChelen> hiatus: only sometimes
[07:52] <hiatus> How's gnash running these days?
[07:55] <brianski> hmph. why does the checksum file list an SHA1 sum on the f10 live cd without mentioning it's sha 256, not sha 160? grumph
[07:55] <brianski> oops
[08:05] <Peddy> Hey broskis. I have a computer (let's call him JOHN) connected to a router wirelessly. STEVE lives next to JOHN, however he has no wireless adapter. Can I bridge the network connection from John to Steve over cable?
[08:06] <alaa> how are you
[08:06] <hiatus> Really long ethernet cord
[08:06] <thealex> the default font used by firefox is absolutly hideous, how can i change this?
[08:07] <damian> is firefox not using default system font i wonder?
[08:07] <lockd> ubuntu does bridging by default, doesn't it?
[08:09] <Peddy> hiatus, all the way to the router?
[08:10]  * gleeb says hello to all who's reading this!
[08:10] <Peddy> Does it have to be a crossover cable by any chance?
[08:11] <lockd> Peddy, some have said it has to be a crossover cable, but the last distro I used just required me installing a dhcp server
[08:11] <Peddy> thanks lockd, I'll try it right now
[08:11] <lockd> keep in mind, it's harder than setting up a router
[08:13] <rootlinuxusr> have xubuntu lamp server running per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP why does the phpmyadmin folder located in /var/www/ keep trying to download the index php file, instead of parsing it?
[08:14] <chunknuts> HELLO!!!!
[08:15] <chunknuts> I cannot get a module loaded on bootup -- does anybody feel like helping?
[08:15] <damian> rootlinuxusr, do you have php module enabled?
[08:15] <rootlinuxusr> how would i verify that?
[08:16] <chunknuts> brb
[08:16] <DasEi> chunknuts: which one ?
[08:16] <rootlinuxusr> i ran this sudo tasksel install lamp-server and sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql
[08:17] <chunknuts> DasEi: A custom driver I built -- it works once booted -- but not automatically at startup
[08:17] <chunknuts> DasEi:  It's for a RAID card
[08:18] <DasEi> chunknuts: you load via modprobe ?
[08:18] <damian> rootlinuxusr, i don't use php but you should have in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled mod_php or something
[08:18] <chunknuts> DasEi: trying -- it won't load -- no error message either (I'm at the initfs prompt)
[08:19] <chunknuts> DasEi: initramfs
[08:19] <rootlinuxusr> nope it's not there.
[08:20] <damian> so apache doesn't know what to do with that php file
[08:20] <DasEi> chunknuts: I see, I'm overasked there, you will have either pass the kernelargument (which I don't know) or get it into initramfs, sry, no experience there
[08:20] <ardchoille> !hcl
[08:20] <damian> there is ubuntu metapackage php5
[08:21] <damian> sudo apt-get install php5
[08:21] <DasEi> chunknuts: how did you boot before then ?
[08:21] <chunknuts> DasEi: Thanks for the help -- I'm going to try to keep hacking at the initramfs prompt! -- thank you!
[08:21] <ojm> Hi, so how well does radeon hd57xx work currently?

[08:23] <GutZuWiSSeN> hi there
[08:23] <GutZuWiSSeN> is there a mail log analyzer or sth like that where i can see which mails are sent / rejected?
[08:23] <llutz> GutZuWiSSeN: i.e. pflogsumm.pl for postfix
[08:24] <GutZuWiSSeN> llutz, thx :)
[08:25] <rootlinuxusr> for that matter, installed php5, still downloads the php file...would i need a libapache-mod-php5?
[08:26] <holmser> hmm... rootlinuxusr, very strange that the lamp stack didn't install everything
[08:26] <holmser> but if it didn't, you would need to install libapache-mod
[08:27] <holmser> to get it to work with apache
[08:27]  * grape_nuts says hello to those who read this
[08:28] <rootlinuxusr> Package libapache-mod-php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:28] <grape_nuts>  testing 1 2 3
[08:29] <rootlinuxusr> 3. 2. 1.

[08:29] <nigtv> Hi, im having trouble with burning the ubuntu ISO, I have before without trouble but this time, it gets all the way done, but burn returns the error that it cannot fixate the disc, after which I can't eject the disc without resetting the computer, trying to gives me "cannot eject disc, input/output error", I've also tried burning it in k3b and gnomebaker, all times at 2x.
[08:30] <holmser> have you tried ejecting it from the command line?
[08:30] <nigtv> even though they all seemingly finish, I guess they dont fixate or whatever, they are all coasters, of course, failures, I'm on 9.10 by the way
[08:30] <nigtv> yes, thats where i get the error
[08:30] <holmser> hmm
[08:30] <holmser> strange
[08:30] <nigtv> otherwise the drive is just unresponsive, flashing light on and off
[08:30] <holmser> how old is your media?
[08:30] <nigtv> the cd's? just bought them
[08:30] <holmser> ok
[08:30] <holmser> hmm... strange
[08:30] <nigtv> I can burn audio cds just fine, actually just burned one
[08:30] <holmser> logs say anything exciting?
[08:31] <nigtv> logs? where might i look?
[08:31] <rootlinuxusr> removed everything, what order should i install things?
[08:31] <nigtv> rather, which logs I guess is what i should ask
[08:32] <holmser> hmm... k3b should give you an option to view them when it fails
[08:32] <llutz> nigtv: have you tried to burn at console? "cdrecord -dao speed=8 -v foo.iso"
[08:33] <nigtv> llutz: well I tried to burn it with "burn" thats synonymous with cdrecord right?
[08:33] <BigBoy> hi when opening nautilus filebrowser. there is usually a sidepanel with all the places on my computer eg home, computer, the drives and partitions etc
[08:33] <camilo> why have the folders size limit? How can I crack it up?
[08:33] <llutz> nigtv: i don't know "burn", just cdrecord or of course its fork wodim
[08:33] <nigtv> holmser: I didnt look no there might have been one somewhere, i wouldnt know where to look now
[08:33] <lockd> well wodim has always been flakey
[08:34] <BigBoy> please see http://imagebin.ca/view/h8rNPwK.html
[08:34] <nigtv> llutz: I usually just "sudo burn -I -n ubuntu.iso"
[08:34] <llutz> nigtv: only logs i could imagine, /var/log/syslog(messages)
[08:34] <bdhorish> I have a dell inspiron 1526 and runnin ubuntu 9.10 and my built in mic does not work nor does a external mic
[08:34] <holmser> rootlinuxusr, sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[08:34] <holmser> that should install everything
[08:35] <proby> hi guys
[08:35] <proby> i have ubuntu 9.1
[08:35] <proby> when the grub is loded
[08:35] <talsemgeest> proby: Try to keep questions to one line :)
[08:36] <nigtv> I searched the error "cannot eject disc, input/output error", and the only similar cases I can find are bugs with HAL, mainly with USB devices, so im kind of lost
[08:36] <rootlinuxusr> same thing. should i check the logs?
[08:36] <proby> it have 4 options ubuntu generic kernel 2.16 ubuntu generic kernel 2.16 again ubuntu generic  kernel 2.17 and ubuntu generic kernel 2.17
[08:37] <llutz> nigtv: "burn" seems to be just another frontend to cdrdao/cdrecord, so it should work. maybe try to make it more verbos
[08:37] <llutz> e
[08:37] <nigtv> llutz: to get a more descriptive error?
[08:37] <proby> i want to delete all thos generics and have only ubuntu generic kernel 2.17 any solutions please??
[08:37] <llutz> nigtv: yes
[08:38] <lockd> proby, those are some ungodly old kernels if you mean 2.6.17
[08:38] <proby> yes exactly lockd
[08:38] <lockd> or do you mean 2.6.31-17?
[08:38] <proby> i mean 2.6.31-17 lockd
[08:39] <lockd> okay, you scared me
[08:39] <proby> ok i want only option for only only one kernel to appear in grub lockd did you know any soluion please?
[08:39] <lockd> remove the linux-image-*-generic packages that you don't want
[08:40] <proby> ok how to remove it ? lockd
[08:40] <nigtv> llutz: call me crazy but this looks almost exactly the same http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-546504.html
[08:40] <lockd> in Synaptic or sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic
[08:40] <nigtv> i cant waste too many more cd's :/
[08:40] <proby> thanks very much lockd
[08:40] <rootlinuxusr> Couldn't they just remove it from the grub menu.lst?
[08:41] <llutz> nigtv: use -rw
[08:41] <rootlinuxusr> or is that no longer used?

[08:41] <Lukey> hey al
[08:41] <narselon> this is my first time on here but I've encountered a weird error and I haven't seen anything on the forums like it. Somehow my gtk themes only apply to root programs while the nonroot programs just change color to match the theme
[08:41] <Lukey> err all*
[08:41] <nigtv> llutz: its not a rw disc?
[08:42]  * nigtv tries it anyways
[08:42]  * Datherine tries it anyways
[08:42] <Lukey> I have a Q - really super quick - here I go - I'm unfortunately running Vista - and only doing so due to my bluray player working through that crappy quickplay program - does ubuntu support bluray at all?
[08:42] <Datherine> I have a Q - really super quick - here I go - I'm unfortunately running Vista - and only doing so due to my bluray player working through that crappy quickplay program - does ubuntu support bluray at all?
[08:42] <llutz> nigtv: ? i always recommend cd-rw media for live-cd/install-cds, because you only need it once. don't waste cd-r media for that
[08:42] <Datherine> nigtv: ? i always recommend cd-rw media for live-cd/install-cds, because you only need it once. don't waste cd-r media for that

[08:43] <om26er> !patience | Lukey
[08:43] <llutz> nigtv: i doubt that it would fix your problem, but makes testing cheaper
[08:43] <sebsebseb> Lukey: not sure, but you could try a WIndows virtual machine
[08:44] <sebsebseb> Lukey: if you got enough RAM
[08:44] <talsemgeest> Lukey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[08:44] <lockd> Lukey, bluray uses some pretty nasty DRM, which makes most virtualization and such fail
[08:44] <nigtv> heh yea im with you there, i dunno, I only really need the live cd to copy data from one hard drive to another with xp, I need to clone a harddrive and I believe I need to be using a live cd of some kind to do that
[08:44] <narselon> it seems odd that my themes only apply to root because usually the opposite does anyone know what might cause this?
[08:44] <nigtv> Unfortunately I cant burn any isos so im kind of stuck at the moment
[08:44] <lockd> the best thing would be to transcode all your media in to a decent format, if you have disk space
[08:45] <Lukey> sebsebseb - i was thinking aabout doing that - but I ran a dual boot through linux mint and it was crappy - and I was also thinking about seeing if wine supported my bluray - but if i don't need to do that - then obviously i'd prefer not to
[08:45] <git__> ubuntu has 300 employees
[08:45] <sebsebseb> Lukey: ok
[08:45] <sebsebseb> !ot | git__
[08:46] <Lukey> talsemgeest - Thanks mate - will check that out now!
[08:46] <talsemgeest> Lukey: I hope it works :)
[08:47] <a2f> heeeere's a question: i just disabled killed the pulseaudio daemon. how can i make the system fall back on alsa?
[08:48] <MikeChelen> is there any performance difference between 32 and 64 bit with desktop apps like firefox and open office? using less than 4gb ram
[08:49] <industrial> How do I separate commands in /etc/default/console-setup in XKBOPTIONS=""

[09:45] <mallchin> hello ubuntoers
[09:45]  * hugo_s says hi
[09:45] <mallchin> how can I see which files belong to a package please?
[09:45] <mallchin> o/
[09:45] <MASARUwota> mallchin, do you mean the dependencies?
[09:46] <mallchin> MASARUwota: no, I mean which files on the system were installed with a particular package
[09:46] <milligan_> I have an application/command that I currently run from console, with nohup to keep it alive and & to put it in the background. What would be the easiest way to have ubuntu do this sequence on boot and keep the app alive in the background?
[09:46] <MASARUwota> mallchin: yeah, those are called the "dependencies" of an app
[09:46] <kahn02> i play zynca poker
[09:47] <ardchoille> mallchin: dpkg -S /path/file  ?
[09:47] <tishikawa1> milligan_: /etc/rc.local
[09:47] <ardchoille> Not sure that is exactly what you wanted
[09:47] <mallchin> MASARUwota: I would have assumed dependencies described the anciliarry packages needed to get a particular package working
[09:47] <milligan_> tishikawa1, put the command in a bash script, and link the scrip in /etc/rc.local ?
[09:48] <tishikawa1> milligan_: yeah, execute it in rc.local. remember to chmod rc.local to executable
[09:48] <mallchin> ardchoille: perfect, thanks, -L|--listfiles <package> ...     List files `owned' by package(s). seem to be what I wanted :)
[09:48] <mechdave> Milligan, don't you mean call the script? The script needs to be made executable too
[09:49] <Lord_mezry> Help needed
[09:49] <andrew_46> mallchin: If the program is installed you can see from 'Properties-->Dependencies' in Synaptic
[09:49] <milligan_> tishikawa1, will the command be run as root as my user ?
[09:49] <mallchin> andrew_46: thanks, I don't think this box has X11 though
[09:49] <tishikawa1> milligan_: as root, by default
[09:49] <Lord_mezry> DOES ANYBODY HERE USE HP DV4
[09:49] <EastDallas> mallchin: you can also search any package at packages.ubuntu.com
[09:50] <milligan_> tishikawa1, how can I make it run as my user? The app depends on a config file in ~/
[09:50] <tishikawa1> milligan_: sudo
[09:50] <mallchin> EastDallas: thanks, I think this is a custom package installed outside the normal repositories :)
[09:50] <tishikawa1> wait...
[09:50] <milligan_> got'cha
[09:50] <tishikawa1> would sudo grab the effective user's config file?
[09:51] <milligan_> hm , I would think so.. ?
[09:51] <mallchin> perfect, dpkg -L <package> does the trick! just what I wanted
[09:51] <Lukey> Thanks for the help ladies and gents! take care!
[09:51] <tishikawa1> milligan_: not sure, try it
[09:51] <eto> did somebody ping me?
[09:53] <gaelfx> any opinions on WD vs. Seagate for hard drives?
[09:53] <doug_> #hackthissite
[09:53] <EastDallas> !offtopic
[09:53] <tishikawa1> gaelfx: they're basically the same
[09:54] <gaelfx> tishikawa1: so probably no issues either way as it pertains to Ubuntu?
[09:55] <ardchoille> gaelfx: I have two 3 year old wd's in this box still going strong
[09:55] <hiatus> Ubuntu can run any sort of harddrive
[09:55] <tishikawa1> gaelfx: no. since when did hard drive choice effect OS functinoality?
[09:57] <gaelfx> well, it's not the things that I do know that I ask about, it's the things that I don't know, so to answer your question, I didn't know whether or not HD choice could affect functionality
[09:57] <hiatus> Windows doesn't run on ssd's well because of ntfs but that's about the only exception
[09:57] <gaelfx> now I do, so thanks :D
[09:58] <fireundubh> hurm. i think the mount command wasn't working because of the mount point permissions. oh well, xfering by sftp instead.
[09:58] <sri__> i am not able to write the files in SMB shares file system y?
[09:59] <clathrate> heyup, my question might not be ubuntu specifi, I dunno.  What is the difference between closing an xterm with the upper right X button, and logging out (ctrl-D)?  I'll tell you one difference, if I start an emacs& and close the xterm window, the emacs exits too.  But not if I ctrl-D to log out.  What's up with that?

[10:07] <om26er> Leoneof`, using netbook remix?
[10:08] <JonathanEllis> Are w32codecs included within ubuntu-restricted-extras? I am just setting up a jaunty box and Im not sure if I need to install both of these packages. w32codecs seems to have some broken dependency at the moment so it wont install
[10:08] <om26er> JonathanEllis, no
[10:09] <JonathanEllis> om26er: No I dont need both packages or no the codecs arent included within restricted extras?
[10:09] <om26er> JonathanEllis, to install w32codecs you have to use medibuntu repo
[10:09] <JonathanEllis> om26er: I have added the medibuntu repo
[10:09] <om26er> JonathanEllis, restricted extras play quite all fileformats for me
[10:09] <om26er> except for some
[10:10] <JonathanEllis> om26er: Including flash and real?

[10:10] <pirx> i did a 'apt-get update' just before. something else i need to do?
[10:11] <om26er> JonathanEllis, .rmvb worked fine
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo

[10:11] <MASARUwota> ActionPasnip:sup sup sup
[10:12] <om26er> wow
[10:12] <DJones> pirx: 8.04 is a LTS version, and there isn't a new LTS version available to upgrade, if you wanted to upgrade to 8.10 & upwards, you need to change a setting for apt so that it shows normal releases as upgrade candidates
[10:12] <JonathanEllis> So what is included in w32codecs that is not in ubuntu-restricted-extras? andrew_46: No Ive never compiled anything
[10:12] <deviL_NighT> how to change setting nvidia to Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller??

[10:13] <om26er> !nfs | sri__
[10:13] <hiatus> Did you install your nvidia?
[10:13] <Leoneof``> no no, i want ubuntu
[10:13] <Leoneof``> hiatus: yes
[10:13] <DJones> pirx: I was just looking it up, see this webpage, about half way down there's insructions on upgrading 8.04 LTS Server https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> deviL_NighT: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge utoremove; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:13] <MASARUwota> Leoneof``:try a lighter desktop environment?
[10:14] <andrew_46> JonathanEllis: The version of MPlayer in Jaunty is anient and limited
[10:14] <Leoneof``> whatis that?
[10:14] <andrew_46> ancient
[10:14] <DJones> pirx: The section is headed "Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended)" Hopefully that should solve the problem
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> MASARUwota: all my systems are slower than that and run well
[10:14] <airwalker> hi
[10:14] <sAnta89_> Leoneof``, try XFCE, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

[10:15] <acuster> hey all, how do we allow xhosting remote servers these days?
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> andrew_46: use the mplayer ppa then
[10:15] <acuster> do we need to change the X config in some way?
[10:15] <JonathanEllis> Leoneof``: Your laptop is quite powerful enough to run ubuntu at good speed. You shouldnt need to install either a lighter distro or a lighter desktop environment. The problem is elsewhere. Sorry I dont know how to fix it but keep trying
[10:15] <Leoneof``> Pentium3 is far better than my laptop? >_>
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> Leoneof``: have you tried tweaking your video settings?
[10:15] <airwalker> anybody knows whats safer to use in evolution CRAM-MD5 or login?
[10:15] <JonathanEllis> andrew_46: I dont use mplayer anyway
[10:15] <Leoneof``> ActionParsnip: never did any tweaks
[10:16] <deviL_NighT> ActionParsnip : thank's...
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> airwalker: whatever your email server uses, match it
[10:16] <sri__> can i use /etc/auto.master to mount the SMB file system???
[10:16] <Leoneof``> brb
[10:16] <andrew_46> ActionParsnip: To tell the total truth I run a series of svn MPlayer guides on the Forums which work well for me
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Leoneof``: ok then run: nvidia-settings   and change the nvidia settings
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> andrew_46: cool
[10:16] <airwalker> i don't want to send my passwords unencrypted
[10:16] <andrew_46> JonathanEllis: Can I ask what you will be using the w32codecs for?
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> airwalker: if thats what your mail server expects then you will have to
[10:17] <airwalker> despite the fact that my session is ridden by somebody
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> airwalker: you send it unencrypted in irc too when you identify
[10:17] <JonathanEllis> andrew_46: Playing non-free media formats
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> airwalker: you can't simply choose a different login method just because the one the email server uses is not to your taste
[10:17] <andrew_46> JonathanEllis: Sorry, I meant with which media player?
[10:18] <airwalker> thats something else
[10:18] <shai> Hi :) Can someone tell me what clipboard manager (other then gnome's default) is more robust with more features like: searching history and allowing more then 99 records?
[10:18] <JonathanEllis> andrew_46: Quodlibet, audacious for audio. Probably vlc for video
[10:18] <shai> I'm using glipper 1.0 but it can't have more then 99 records and doesn't have search (that I can see)
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> shai: xclip is what I use, it has a cli interface too :)
[10:19] <airwalker> can anybody just answer the question
[10:19] <andrew_46> JonathanEllis: With vlc at least the vital option '--enable-loader' is omitted in the Ubuntu package so vlc cannot use the w32codecs
[10:20] <airwalker> EVOLUTION what's safer CRAM-MD5 or login?
[10:20] <shai> ActionParsnip, I'll try :)
[10:21] <airwalker> hello?
[10:21] <collabra> is there a program that renders smoother video?
[10:21] <MASARUwota> collabra: what are you using atm?
[10:21] <collabra> atm???
[10:22] <MASARUwota> collabra: at the moment, right now
[10:22] <collabra> oh,... i'm using the default player in ubuntu
[10:22] <zlciai_> hi,everyone
[10:23] <MASARUwota> collabra: i suggest mplayer with the smplayer frontend. YOU can choose different video-output techniques there, so youre able to choose the one you like the most =)
[10:23] <SAngeli> I run xubuntu what software can you advice me to download to convert divx to avi?
[10:23] <collabra> thanks,... i'll try it.
[10:23] <MASARUwota> !hello|zlciai_
[10:23] <shai> ActionParsnip, does it have GUI?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> airwalker: try cram-md5  if the server supports it then it will work, if not you will have to use login
[10:24] <airwalker> Can anybody tell me the difference between choosing login or CRAM-MD5 in Ubuntu Evolution mail client?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> shai: i think if you run it it does, not sure
[10:24] <MASARUwota> airwalker: MD5 encrypts your data. the other one doesnt (would be my guess)
[10:25] <shai> ActionParsnip, xclipboard .. but it has no options at all :(
[10:25] <airwalker> thanks @ all
[10:25] <sri__> any pdf for Raid??
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> airwalker: how do you know md5-cram doesnt send the password cleartext like login then the rest encrypted. You said you dont want to send your password clear text but dont even know if md5-cram does. classic
[10:26] <ikonia> sri__: what do mean pdf for raid, do you mean raid setup ?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> shai: its xclip not xclipboard, it may also install some gnome bar thingy you can add to your bar
[10:26] <sri__> ikonia: i dont know about raid so i want to learn
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> !raid | sri__
[10:26] <shai> ActionParsnip, I know, I installed xclip .. but I'm not sure it's even working...

[10:28] <jmp_> hi
[10:28] <ikonia> sri__: as in setting up raid on ubuntu or raid in general

[10:39] <mrb> ActionPasnip, Do u have the link ?!!
[10:39] <andrew_46> fireundubh: System Administration ---> Software Sources ---> Download from Other --> Select Best Servr
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> mrb: you can websearch for mozilla daily build ppa and it appears, here is the link: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[10:40] <mrb> thanks alot
[10:40] <mrb> appreciated
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> mrb: try websearching a little rather than immediatly asking for a link
[10:41] <fireundubh> andrew, how do you apply that setting to apt-get? i don't use synaptic.
[10:41] <aperson> fireundubh, that doesn't use synaptic
[10:41] <fireundubh> i know
[10:42] <aperson> fireundubh, it just selects the best server and updates your sources.list accordingly
[10:43] <fireundubh> looks like netselect does the first part of that, too
[10:45] <aperson> is there a particular reason why you can't use the gui tool?
[10:46] <fireundubh> nah, it just feels really slow on this laptop.
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> fireundubh: do you get masses of updates?
[10:51] <DEViUS> help i get an ERROR                "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority"          when i logon
[10:52] <avishek> I would like to format my /dev/sdb1 USB HDD from the command line. Any advice please on how to do this?
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> avishek: what filesystem do you want to use?
[10:52] <fireundubh> oh software sources. i was still thinking of synaptic. ;p
[10:52] <avishek> ActionParsnip: ext4
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: boot to recovery root console and run: ls -la /home/user/.ICEauthority     does user own the file?
[10:53] <gpd> has anyone got a ppa for alsa 1.0.22 ?
[10:53] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, ok, wat does this do?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> avishek: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1   This will destroy ALL data on the partition so be VERY sure its the right one
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: makes sure the file exists and is owned by the right user
[10:54] <abdohhh> asd
[10:54] <abdohhh> hi
[10:54] <avishek> ActionParsnip: It's a new external HDD. I would like to use it to mount /home. Thank you!
[10:54] <abdohhh> how are you
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> avishek: just covering my back so that I told yu it was very destructive
[10:55] <kumar1> ow to install yahoo messenger
[10:55] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, I get this message          -rw------- 1 root root 7352 2009-12-18 13:52 /home/user/.ICEauthority
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: thats why, the file should be owned by user but is ACTUALLY owned by root. have you been running nautilus using sudo and not gksudo?
[10:55] <avishek> ActionParsnip: Thank you for your help; this time and countless other times! :)
[10:56] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, yes i did once or twice ??
[10:57] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, oh if u shud know am running on karmic
[10:57] <jmp_> can anybody can advise me on an html editor on ubuntu
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: this is why you are in this mess, sudo is NOT to be used for gui apps as you will get this. use gksudo for gui apps in future and you will avoid it
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: to repair run: cd /home; sudo chown -R user:user ./user
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: bluefish, gedit, leafpad, nano, vi
[10:57] <Madpilot> jmp_, gedit does HTML quite nicely; there's also Screem or Bluefish, which are both good.
[10:58] <johnson_> wo
[10:58] <jmp_> Ax
[10:58] <PointMan> im trying to install munin using aptitude but when it tries to install munin-node it hangs at "initializing plugins...", is there a workaround to this?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: you just undid your mess by giving the user back its own data
[10:58] <jmp_> ok thanks I will take screem
[10:58] <cutout> Hi, I need help to configure my touchpad on ubuntu 9.10 fresh install
[10:59] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, i get this msg,            chown: invalid user: `user:user'
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: is the user actually called 'user'
[10:59] <Madpilot> jmp_, screem has really nice autocompletion of tags and some other nice features. Bluefish is powerful too.
[11:00] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, no i obviously changed it to correct one
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: then you borked the command then
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: sudo chown -R user:user ./user
[11:00] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, borked ???
[11:00] <jmp_> Madpilot, I think I will try first  screem then , I 'll see .thanks
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: broke, ruined, screwed up
[11:00] <Autie> lol
[11:00] <Madpilot> DEViUS, borked == broken :)
[11:01] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, oh ok :P
[11:01] <AmokPaule> I once had a lot of sounds in konversation i could use for highlighting, can someone tell me if i have to reinstall them?
[11:02] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, no i keep getting invalid user , is there a way to see the available users, just to know wats going on in the kernels mind :P
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: less /etc/passwd
[11:03] <cutout> Can anyone help me configuring my touchpad?
[11:04] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, the username exists on that list
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: cool, its also case sensitive
[11:04] <xqua_> salut
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: ok try this: sudo chown -R user ./user
[11:04] <xqua_> hello then ^^
[11:04] <i_is_broke> !hi
[11:04] <xqua_> is anyone could just give me an hand
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> !ask | xqua_
[11:05] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, ok
[11:05] <jmp_> xqua_, on what ?
[11:06] <xqua_> oki ^^, So I've got a Saitek Cyborg Keyboard (and Mouse) and there is some button which doesn't work (not even recognise on xev) do you know how to got this button
[11:06] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, ok so itt seemed to be processing and then it stops on this            chown: cannot access `./user/.gvfs': Permission denied
[11:07] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, and i thought root could do anything
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: its a special folder
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: ok now run: chown -R :user ./user
[11:08] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, may i ask whats special about it?
[11:08] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip,           chown: changing ownership of `./user/.gvfs': Function not implemented
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: thats all i know, its where your removable media gets mounted to as far as i am aware, don't sweat it
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: ok so has the second command run?
[11:09] <fireundubh> thanks for that software sources tip. now i avg 350 Kb/s instead of 100 Kb/s.
[11:09] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, lol ok ok, yes i told you itt gives msg   chown: changing ownership of `./user/.gvfs': Function not implemented
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> great :) now run: DEViUS: shutdown -r now
[11:09] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, after i restart this issue will be sorted out?
[11:09] <nigtv> wtf
[11:09] <nigtv> who is devius
[11:10] <DEViUS> nigtv, i am DEViUS =]
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: yes as the user is now the owner of its own data, which you damaged by using nautilus incorrectly with sudo rather than gksudo
[11:10] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, thanx a million
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: the user could not write to the file as it was owned by root
[11:10] <MartinCleaver> I have an ibm x30 - it hangs at random times, sometimes during boot. Never recovers. Runs Ubuntu 8.10, with all updates.
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: and the all group had zero access
[11:11] <xqua_> MartinCleaver : what do you meen by hang, the computer freeze ?
[11:11] <MartinCleaver> Y, completely freezes. Doesn't respond to caps lock, to ctrl-alt-delete
[11:12] <MartinCleaver> or to ctrl-alt-backspace
[11:12] <DEViUS> ActionParsnip, aha, i thought u shud know i did ls -la again and results were -       rw------- 1 user root 7352 2009-12-18 13:52 /home/user/.ICEauthority
[11:12] <xqua_> martincleaver : hum do you check your Power supply ?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> MartinCleaver: there are a few X30 guides here: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ibm.html
[11:13] <hamzaatova1> hi - ive just imported photos and videos from the camera card but in f-spot they dont have the location they are at - what is the location of the imported photos? and also where does the videos are - they arent imported in f-spot????
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> DEViUS: then the second command failed but the user will still have access and you should still be able to log on. You can set the ownership properly on the desktop
[11:13] <xqua_> actionparsnip : do you have any idea to get my button ?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> hamzaatova1: ~/Pictures  would be my first place to look
[11:13] <MartinCleaver> It happens on battery and power supply, on Canadian power and UK power, and on two different power supplies
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> xqua_: no, or i would have replied
[11:14] <Madpilot> hamzaatova1, ~/Photos or ~/Pictures
[11:14]  * MartinCleaver clicks ActionParsnip 's link
[11:14] <xqua_> oki ...
[11:14] <Madpilot> hamzaatova1, no idea where f-splat would put your movies, though
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> xqua_: don't ask users like that after asking the channel, you look silly
[11:15] <xqua_> is anyone know how to get some unrecognyze button from a keyboard to be recognize by X ?
[11:15] <hamzaatova1> ActionParsnip, Madpilot - ok thanks - what about the videos? how do i get them? transfering by copying the files?
[11:15] <xqua_> Actionparsnip : sry ...
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> xqua_: sounds like you'll need a modle compiling for it if the keys dont generate events in xev
[11:16] <xqua_> Actionparsnip : yeah, do you know where I can get some doc on it ?
[11:16] <Madpilot> hamzaatova1, you might have to do it manually, yeah. I've never actually taken any movies with my digicam, now that I think about it.
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> xqua_: search for: <keyboard make and model> linux
[11:16] <xqua_> Actionparsnip : oki thx
[11:19] <occy> ugh
[11:19] <occy> I can't find out how to change to arc colors
[11:19] <occy> I've got it installed
[11:19] <occy> but the Login Window perferences only let you access auto-login or not
[11:19] <occy> :(
[11:19] <occy> Not sure why these "improvements" were made
[11:19] <ardchoille> occy: are you on Karmic?
[11:20] <occy> I'm on 9.10
[11:20] <ardchoille> that's Karmic, and theming if the gdm screen hasn't been implemented yet
[11:20] <occy> (I keep getting lost with the names of the versions ;)
[11:20] <geraudk2000> hello
[11:21] <occy> ardchoille: did the GDM Config stuff totally change?
[11:21] <occy> I mean it was in before
[11:21] <geraudk2000> ya kelkun ki parle francais ici??
[11:21] <occy> !francais
[11:21] <ardchoille> occy: I believe it changed quite a bit, yeah, theming the gdm screen in previous releases was easy
[11:22] <occy> ardchoille: kk...  :(   I loved arc colors  *sigh*
[11:22] <ardchoille> yeah, Im using arc colors now too in Jaunty
[11:22] <any_> Hi all
[11:23] <occy> oh and my 2 cents of replacing Pidgin with a NON IRC capable chat client is...  BOO!

[11:23] <any_> i have permission problem with beryl install , somebody can help us ?
[11:24] <ardchoille> occy: you can install pidgin from the repos
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> occy: empathy does it, i use pidgin fro the pidgin ppa
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> occy: pidgin is also in the standard repo
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> !info pidgin

[11:32] <fireundubh> can i run okular without switching from xfce to kde?
[11:32] <Milos_SD> Hi
[11:32] <MASARUwota> fireundubh: yes
[11:33] <MASARUwota> !hi|Milos_SD
[11:33] <fireundubh> thanks
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> fireundubh: sure
[11:33] <Milos_SD> What is wrong with make-kpkg program... It can't make .deb files for kernel > 2.6.32 :@
[11:33] <Milos_SD> http://pastebin.com/m3a6cd430
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> fireundubh: same with any app, some apps run weird but most are ok
[11:33] <fireundubh> okay cool
[11:33] <fireundubh> is there an ubuntu book?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> !book
[11:34] <fireundubh> something like an intro to linux?
[11:34] <AmokPaule> fireundubh: Yes there are at last in my lang :P if you mean a book you can buy
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> fireundubh: ive seen a few around but to be honest the online docs and forums are better and more up to date in many cases
[11:36] <MASARUwota> !doc|fireundubh
[11:36] <oCean_> fireundubh: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html
[11:37] <tarelerulz1> What is good movies converter that could join two videos into one ?
[11:37] <fireundubh> this is perhaps the most helpful channel i've ever been on. thank you. ;p
[11:37] <cheeko> is ther any linux alternatives for teracopy which increases the speed of copy in windows
[11:38] <fireundubh> ls
[11:38] <MASARUwota> !cheeko:no, you could try using a different filesystem and see if that works better for your situation.
[11:38] <CShadowRun> terminal is that way -->
[11:38] <fireundubh> hehe
[11:39] <cheeko> MASARUwota: i copy to pendrive it is poossibly in fat32 format
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> tarelerulz1: kino maybe
[11:39] <MASARUwota> cheeko: fat32 is pretty slow
[11:39] <cheeko> so what do i do
[11:39] <Milos_SD> anyone?
[11:39] <Milos_SD> how to fix this error: http://pastebin.com/m3a6cd430
[11:39] <Milos_SD> ?
[11:39] <MASARUwota> cheeko: reformat?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> tarelerulz1: or use: mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o "joined.avi" "1.avi" "2.avi"
[11:40] <cheeko> MASARUwota: but formatting in other filesystem would render the pendrive useless in windows
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> tarelerulz1: or: avimerge -i file1.avi file2.avi filen.avi - o mergedfile.avi
[11:41] <AmokPaule> tarelerulz1: I used to use virtualdub http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/ dunno if it has what you need, and i used it only under windows so far. Maybe ask in #ubuntustudio
[11:41] <aperson> tarelerulz1, avidemux is what I like to use
[11:41] <MASARUwota> cheeko: other then fat32 or ntfs, yes
[11:42] <stanman246> hi. I'm using gedit as IDE and use a plugin to auto close brackets. Anyone using this?
[11:42] <pwd> stanman246: #vim
[11:42] <MASARUwota> stanman246, gedit isnt a IDE, afaik
[11:43] <Madpilot> stanman246, which plugin? sounds useful.
[11:43] <stanman246> did some tweaking and am using it for a few weeks now. works great
[11:43] <occy> man is gnome-do supposed to be a huge resource hog?  Or is it just alpha software
[11:43] <stanman246> it's dutch
[11:44] <stanman246> it's called "Haakjes Complementeren"
[11:44] <stanman246> but i 'm having some issue's with it... When I enter { it autmagically closes the tags with }}...
[11:45] <aperson> stanman246, you'll have to take that up with the plugin developer
[11:45] <tarelerulz1> ActionParsnip, AmokPaule,Aperson , thanks for the help . That is just want I wanted to know .  That seem like something I all ways need to know ,but never seem know.
[11:45] <stanman246> ah...

[11:48] <oCean_> Geron: please just ask the actual question in the channel and find out...
[11:48] <ssmit> how do I set an individual file to be password protected?
[11:49] <Geron> Oh well. Does anyone know how to make dnsmasq resolv the same hostname with different IP's depending on which interface the lookup was made from?
[11:50] <ssmit> i'm using 9.10/Karmic
[11:52] <awaad> How can I install oracle 10g standard edition not the express edition on ubuntu 9.10 ?
[11:54] <awaad> Any one can help, please ?
[11:56] <gaveen> awaad, please refer to the Oracle install guide for the instructions. If you bump into problems on the way you can get help
[11:56] <oCean_> awaad: that is more a question you should ask in oracle forums and/or channel.
[11:56] <ghufran> hi .. does anyone have a cure for this lame lame firefox? i have like 15 tabs open and its taking 3.5 gigs...
[11:57] <ghufran> 1.5 of which is in memory
[11:57] <awaad> gaveen, oCean_ : I just want the linke of download
[11:57] <oCean_> awaad: download oracle @ otn.oracle.com
[11:58] <awaad> gaveen, oCean_ : I downloaded it from the oracle website but while installing it I found it for redhat , suse and others but not for ubuntu
[11:58] <Diverdude> Is there any way to make thunderbird-mailclient show mailpreview in the right side instead of at the bottom of the window?
[11:58] <oCean_> awaad: have you checked the Certify matrix @ oracle?
[11:59] <awaad> gaveen, oCean_ : The only links that I found it suitable for ubuntu was the express edition
[11:59] <awaad> oCean_ : What do you mean by Certify matrix @ oracle ?
[12:00] <oCean_> awaad: one sec
[12:00] <Pelo> !minimal
[12:01] <oCean_> awaad: do you have oracle metalink account? Oracle support/certify matrix for all products and platforms are there
[12:01] <SeaOrifice> can anyone tell me what exactly is casper in ubuntu ?
[12:02] <awaad> oCean_ : sorry, I have a problem of understanding your words
[12:02] <oCean_> awaad: ok. Paying Oracle customers receive a login account
[12:02] <SeaOrifice> is it some code name or the name of the kernel ubuntu distri uses
[12:02] <awaad> oCean_ : I have a free acount on oracle's website but I don't know what is the metalink
[12:02] <Pelo> SeaOrifice, have you checked in synaptic, thereis usualy a description
[12:02] <oCean_> awaad: metalink is oracle's portal for delivering support to paying customers
[12:02] <Pelo> SeaOrifice, where did you see this ?
[12:02] <SeaOrifice> Pelo: i aint using ubuntu
[12:03] <SeaOrifice> i just want information
[12:03] <awaad> oCean_: No, I didn't pay any thing
[12:03] <Pelo> SeaOrifice, I can tell you casper isn'T a code name for any of the previous releases and unlikely to be for any of thefutur ones
[12:03] <oCean_> awaad: then you cannot login at the metalink support site. The linux distributions you named are the certified distributions
[12:04] <awaad> I only want a link for downloading oracle 10g standard edition on ubuntu
[12:04] <SeaOrifice> so is it the name of a kernel ?
[12:04] <SeaOrifice> or its just some folder name
[12:04] <Madpilot> SeaOrifice, where did you see the caspar name used?
[12:04] <awaad> oCean : I only want a link for downloading oracle 10g standard edition on ubuntu
[12:04] <oCean_> awaad: you have already dowloaded a 10g edition. There is no different edition for RHEL / Ubuntu or any other Linux
[12:04] <Pelo> SeaOrifice, no,  I justchecked in synpatic,  it says it's a program to execute a "live system" on a read only media
[12:04] <SeaOrifice> ok ok
[12:05] <Pelo> SeaOrifice, probably what drives the live cd and such
[12:05] <oCean_> awaad: the error message is because the oracle db is *only* certified for the editions the error message told you
[12:06] <awaad> oCean_ : Do you mean that there is no 10g standard edition for ubuntu ?
[12:06] <oCean_> awaad: yes
[12:06] <Madpilot> Pelo, that's where caspar is from - I got a screenful of errors a while back with a malfunctioning liveCD...
[12:06] <Rogues> hello people,I just installed Ubuntu yesterday and I'm trying to get familiar with the interface

[12:06] <oCean_> awaad: you could use the one you downloaded, just disregarding all pre-check errors
[12:06] <Rogues> but unfortunately when opening the Synaptic Package Manager I get this error everytime
[12:06] <Rogues> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7d917e8
[12:06] <oCean_> awaad: but that might result in a non-working database
[12:07] <awaad> oCean_ : I want to learn practicaly sql
[12:07] <nbnds> Rogues: did you try to execute recommended command?
[12:07] <ghufran> Rogues: so try and run sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal
[12:07] <awaad> oCean_ : Is the standard edition suitable for this ?
[12:07] <oCean_> awaad: why not use the express edition?
[12:08] <Rogues> ok ghufran
[12:08] <ghufran> Applications > assessories > terminal
[12:08] <Rogues> um I learn that already hehe
[12:08] <awaad> oCean_: Ok, I will use it
[12:08] <awaad> oCean_: Thanks alot for your help
[12:08] <oCean_> awaad: ok, no problem

[12:18] <harobed> hi, are there a tips to install ubuntu to external usb disk without leave my ubuntu session. (I don't want to boot on cdrom or usb key).
[12:18] <ssmit> (re-ask) how does one set an individual file to be password protected? 9.10
[12:18] <_KAMI_> that is somehow realted
[12:18] <grawity> _KAMI_: Do you have a file /dev/null?
[12:18] <harobed> I've try ubiquity but it don't work
[12:19] <_KAMI_> grawity: Yes of course
[12:19] <fireundubh> is there a command to show recently installed packages? or even recently installed packages with kde dependencies?
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> fireundubh: you can look in /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:20] <wuffi600> hi
[12:20] <wuffi600> im running 9.04. after the last "safe-upgrade" all filesystems are mounted as "rw" but if i want try to create a file in them (e.g. "touch /tmp/testfile") i get errormessage that is a "read-only" filesystem. Have use seen this problme, too?
[12:20] <_KAMI_> why does it want to create something there
[12:20] <_KAMI_> looks like bug ins installation mechanism
[12:20] <sena--> fireundubh: cat /var/log/dpkg.log
[12:21] <seven> hia
[12:22] <sena--> wuffi600: so the mount command shows you that all mounted partitions are in rw mode
[12:23] <wuffi600> the dpkg.log saye that the last thing done was upgrade to libc6 2.9-4ubuntu6.1
[12:23] <bredoto> Does anybody know what can i use  to build  network map of my LAN?
[12:23] <wuffi600> sena--, yes every fs is mounted rw
[12:23] <sena--> wuffi600: do you try to create the file as root
[12:23] <wuffi600> sena--, but none i can write to as root
[12:24] <wuffi600> i guess the libc6 upgrade has done something strange..
[12:24] <sena--> wuffi600: what do you mean try sudo -i enter pass and then touch /somedir/somefile.txt
[12:25] <sena--> wuffi600: if you think so the remove it with apt-get remove thepackageyouwant and then install it again
[12:26] <wuffi600> sena--, "# touch /tmp/hallo" -> "touch: cannot touch '/tmp/hallo': Read-only file system"
[12:26] <ZeiP> How can I make sure accessing NTFS partitions via Ubuntu LiveCD that no alterations at all are made in any case – so no access time modifications etc.?
[12:26] <sena--> wuffi600: i see now it is really strange
[12:26] <bredoto> What tools can i use to get some info of my network trffic utilization?
[12:26] <g0nz0|Boston> ZeiP, mount it read-only
[12:27] <remoteCTRL1> ZeiP: we are not a hackerchannel;)
[12:27] <masterf> tralalala
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> bredoto:  theres several tools for network monitoring/mapping in the repos. Ntop is one.. it all depends on your exact needs
[12:27] <lightbricko> To disable the ubuntu boot logo I was told to run "sudo apt-get purge usplash". Then it sais that "ubuntu-desktop*" will be removed. Is that really safe, and what is it?
[12:27] <airtonix> bredoto, http://www.ghacks.net/2009/06/19/map-your-network-with-lanmap/
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> lightbricko:  its a meta packagte. safe to remove
[12:27] <sena--> wuffi600: maybe you can try to restart I do not know what exatly is doen in "safe upgare"
[12:27] <bredoto> thnk
[12:27] <lightbricko> Dr_Willis: thanks.
[12:28] <remoteCTRL1> bredoto:  what Dr_Willis said and iptraf is very nice if you want to monitor current traffic
[12:28] <airtonix> bredoto, to monitor traffic you can use etherape
[12:28] <legend2440> fireundubh: cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "\ install\ "  for installed pkgs  and    cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "\ upgrade\ "  for upgraded pkgs
[12:28] <ZeiP> g0nz0|Boston, it's an internal drive, so how can I make sure it's not mounted automatically?
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> ZeiP: you mount partitions, not drives
[12:28] <ZeiP> remoteCTRL1, erm, how exactly is that a hacker thing?
[12:28] <wuffi600> sena--, the problem came up with the reboot after the upgrade.
[12:28] <g0nz0|Boston> ZeiP, google stop ubuntu automounting
[12:29] <remoteCTRL1> ZeiP: in casde of doubt unmount it and remount it with option ro
[12:29] <ZeiP> g0nz0|Boston, thanks
[12:29] <g0nz0|Boston> Good luck

[12:30] <airtonix> bredoto, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/lanmap-network-discovery-tool-that-produces-nice-2d-images.html
[12:30] <vdubhack> can someone explain how i could make the program bit transmission start and stop daily at a certain time
[12:30] <d3vl> ok tnx :)
[12:30] <bredoto> i would like to know how th etraffice are utiliized beatween netw devices in the network
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> bredoto:  im not a network expert. so no idea on that stuff. I just use small home lans.
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> vdubhack:  there are better bittorrent clients that havce built in schedueling features.
[12:31] <tyler_d> how do you get the ip of a virtualmachine from an ubuntu host?
[12:31] <sena--> wuffi600: what device is you tmp how do you mount it?
[12:31] <MASARUwota> Dr_Willis: rtorrent?
[12:31] <n00p> how do I work out what sorta network interface card I have?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  you mean a machine running in virutalbox?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> MASARUwota:  and probermy a dozen others.
[12:31] <vdubhack> Dr_Willis its not only that there are a few other programs that I want to start and stop at certain times
[12:31] <tyler_d> Dr_Willis: yup yup
[12:32] <bredoto> sorry for engl
[12:32] <Sensiva> Hello all, I was resizing and moving an ext3 partition, and GParted crashed. And now its reading this partition as an Unknown Partition, is there a way to recover?
[12:32] <Sensiva> :\
[12:32] <bredoto> Sensiva, try testdisk
[12:32] <MASARUwota> Sensiva: repartition
[12:32] <MASARUwota> :X
[12:32] <wuffi600> sena--, fstab says: "tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0"
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> tyler_d:  you could set it  it to use the local lan ip's or a static ip if you wanted. otherwise it uses its own private lan ip range.  Check the vbox manual at the vbox homepage for all the diferent ways it can do networking
[12:33] <bredoto> Sensiva, it allows you to recover deleted partitions and file recovery on them
[12:33] <wuffi600> sena--, ... but it seems to be a problem with all FSs not only with /tmp
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> vdubhack:  cron jobs  to start/kill is one way i guess.. proberly not a good clean way.. but its a way.
[12:33] <newclimb> how can i install farsight2 in my ubuntu 9.10 64 bits
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> !info farsight
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> newclimb:  whats farsight?
[12:33] <aman> can anyone tell whether a floppy with ext2 filesystem will work in Windows??? And do windows recognizes ext2?????
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> !info farsight2
[12:33] <wuffi600> sena--, so i can not do a "touch /hallo" as root because of read-only fs.
[12:33] <Sensiva> bredoto ok am checking
[12:33] <sena--> wuffi600: so you can not create a file also in your home directory?
[12:33] <vdubhack> Dr_Willis ok thanks i will look that up
[12:33] <sektorNBA> hi folks. as #squid is almost dead. can anyone help me with squid_ldap_group ? I am running it but i got no reply
[12:33] <MASARUwota> aman: windows doesnt have ext2 support
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> aman:  with the right addons windows can read/write ext2/3
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> aman: windows can access ext2 with www.fs-driver.org
[12:33] <wuffi600> sena--, root can not do a "touch /root/hallO"
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> !ext2
[12:33] <MASARUwota> you need addons
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> !ext3
[12:34] <newclimb> Dr_Willis: its to amsn
[12:34] <wuffi600> sena--, seems to be a problem in the boot-process.
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> newclimb: you could search the launchpad PPAs
[12:34] <sena--> wuffi600: that is really strange
[12:34] <n00p> how do I work out what sorta network interface card I have? It's working in Ubuntu but I need to set up FreeBSD on another machine that has the same hardware......
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> newclimb:  never herd of it. check its homepage/docs for install directons perhals.
[12:34] <sena--> wuffi600: do you have other partitions on you comp
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> newclimb: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[12:34] <aman> MASARUwota, Dr_Willis ActionParsnip thanks guys....:)
[12:34] <sena--> wuffi600: other than you system part

[12:35] <n00p> kk ty zaggynl
[12:35] <n00p> very much appreciated :P
[12:35] <wuffi600> sena--, there are two partitions, one for the "/" and one for swap.
[12:35] <sena--> wuffi600: also what fs format are your partitons ntsf ext3 ext2  ext4 ..
[12:36] <sena--> wuffi600: if you have other partition try to mount it and see if you can write there
[12:36] <sena--> wuffi600: maybe a external hard via usb or smth

[12:42] <boscop> what is a good software to make posters on linux?
 i hawe 64 bit laptop but i was in a hurry and i burn 32 bit and 64 bit version so i kinda dont know which one i installed...
[12:42] <airtonix> boscop, inkscape or gimp
[12:42] <MASARUwota> boscop: InkScape for SVG things, gimp if you want a "photoshop"style app
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> d3vl: i686 == 32bit, x86_64 == 64bit
[12:42] <Sensiva> bredoto it worked, thanks alot :D
[12:42] <d3vl> ok tnx :)
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> boscop: or gimpshop which is gimp with a rearranged gui
[12:43] <bredoto> Sensiva, u wellcome
[12:43] <bredoto> =)
[12:43] <Pipi772> ubottu thanks!!

[12:44] <JuJuBee_> Morning all.... I just upgraded to Karmic yesterday and am having some troubles with sound... I fired up Juk and it was playing music for a while then the sound just died out...  then after  a while it magically came back and now gone again...
[12:44] <boscop> airtonix, MASARUwota, ActionParsnip: the poster will have many text fields
[12:44] <boscop> airtonix, MASARUwota, ActionParsnip: and it should be DIN A2
[12:44]  * Dr_Willis has no idea what boscop  just said. :) heh
[12:44] <MASARUwota> boscop: isnt it a signable letter, or something like that, then?
[12:45] <airtonix> boscop, then you want inkscape
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> To me a poster is a big picture you hang on the wall.
[12:45] <boscop> airtonix: I have inkscape but it often crashes :/
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: its a postal worker to me.....geddit
[12:45] <MASARUwota> boscop, youre doing it wrong then
[12:45] <airtonix> boscop, then use gimp or get a better computer
[12:45] <boscop> MASARUwota, Dr_Willis : no, it's for a presentation
[12:46] <MASARUwota> boscop: you gotta be more specific
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: one who posts ;)
[12:46] <dev_> Hello
[12:46] <MASARUwota> !hi|dev_
[12:46] <dev_> :)
[12:47] <boscop> MASARUwota: a presentation for school.
[12:47] <dev_> Thanks ubottu
[12:47] <MASARUwota> boscop: so you want to add a lot of fields with text>?
[12:47] <MASARUwota> boscop: inkscape is the way to go imo
[12:48] <boscop> MASARUwota: ok
[12:48] <molotow> hello
[12:48] <molotow> i have a question
[12:48] <molotow> how gan i disable gnome and still run programs with a gui
[12:49] <JuJuBee_> Any help on sound?  I narrowed it down... If I fast forward through a song to almost the end, the next song no sound, if I do same again next sond has sound... every other song plays fine
[12:49] <airtonix> ActionParsnip, i never understood the point of gimpshop
[12:50] <MASARUwota> airtonix: its more similar to photoshop. thus, an easier transition for "ex-photoshoppers"
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> molotow:  install and use some other window manager.. is one way
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> molotow:  clarify what it is you are trying to acomplish.
[12:50] <boscop> why isn't the mouse pointer graphics changed when I choose another pointer theme? do I need to reboot? why?
[12:50] <syrius> ubuntu 9.10 ekiga 3.2.6
[12:50] <airtonix> MASARUwota, how is that : all my experiences it looks exactly like normal gimp?
[12:51] <syrius> I have problem with webcam http://pastebin.ca/raw/1719295
[12:51] <syrius> ubuntu 9.10 ekiga 3.2.6
[12:51] <MASARUwota> airtonix: well, i never really got into PS, but when i tried gimpshop it was pretty similar to me aswell
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  youi just ahve to log out/back in.. it does 'sort' of change.. but its sort of inconsistant. some new apps WILL use the new pointer. so you get  very weirdness  unless you logout/back in
[12:51] <sena--> molotow: gnome is you X server you can unisntall it and use ke fluxbox ot other that you install instead
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> airtonix: its a different layout for those used to photoshop as far as i am aware. I dont do any graphical work so am not sure with 1st hand experience
[12:51] <airtonix> MASARUwota, gimp 2.8 : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/180039/screenshots/2009-12-18-180457_1920x1080_scrot.png
[12:51] <MASARUwota> airtonix: similar to gimp that is
[12:51] <molotow> what is fluxbox?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> Err.. gnome is the 'desktop' it uses metacity as the window manager
[12:51] <MASARUwota> !fluxbox
[12:51] <boscop> Dr_Willis: will my apps keep running when I log out?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> molotow:  yet another window manager
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  of coruse not.
[12:52] <boscop> Dr_Willis: is there a way to keep them running?
[12:52] <boscop> what about a graphical 'screen'
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  not in any trivial way.
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  that would be 'vnc' :)
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  set your pointer befor ya start up the apps. :)
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  its a little odd. the older releases you could change ponters on the fly. Not sure whats going on in 9.10
[12:53] <molotow> but i don't want to have any window manager
[12:53] <molotow> just the application
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> molotow:  you dont understand what that really means then. You can get 'stuck' without a window manager.
[12:53] <MASARUwota> molotow: YES YOU DO, otherwise you dont have your windows managed
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> molotow:  so install a very light window manager like flvwm and use it.
[12:54] <MASARUwota> !openbox|molotow
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> molotow:  insatll all them you want.. try them by selecitng them at the GDM login screen
[12:54] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[12:54] <stanley_robertso> Dr_Willis, hi
[12:54] <MASARUwota> !hi|stanley_robertso
[12:54] <sena--> molotow: no windows manager no gui for all programs just text based terminal
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> sena--:  you are confused about qwhat a window manager does.
[12:55] <molotow> i want to be able to run just one single application on fullscreen
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> a window maanger manages windows. it gives them the borders and other 'features'
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> molotow:  theres window maangers that manage that specific a task and its best to use them.. OR just make your own whatever.desktop entry for GDM that lauinches whatever it is you want. and go for it.
[12:55] <sena--> Dr_Willis: and can you have a gui without the manager?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> molotow:  hope the app never pops up a dialog/file requestor or anything that gets below the main window then.
[12:56] <wuffi600> sena--, rw mounting of a fs on an usb-stick is no problem. writing to it works.
[12:56] <Rajasun> molotow: can one run e.g. photoshop in DOS?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> sena--:  Yes..You are confuised about what a 'wiondow manager' actually does.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> sena--:  Linux runs X  , X runs the Window manager,  and other apps for the desktop
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> sena--:  you can run X and just a xterm for example if you wanted to,.
[12:56] <sena--> Dr_Willis: i see thanks
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> BUT not using a window manager of any kind can be a real annoyance.. and yes ive done it in the past years ago when i had low ram/low power systems
[12:57] <syrius> I have problem with webcam ubuntu 9.10 ekiga 3.2.6 http://pastebin.ca/raw/1719295
[12:57] <Sumpen> hey guys! I havae mobile network card that is beeing deactivated un sleep. To wake it up again i run: echo enable | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/wan My question is, is there already some "wake up" script i can add this command to?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: could have just ram flwm, very low ram footprint
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> In short. Use a minimal window manager like flvwm, or  others
[12:57] <sena--> wuffi600: what is you fs on /, i suppose your stick had fat32
[12:58] <MASARUwota> Dr_Willis
[12:58] <MASARUwota> isnt that TWM
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  i was building a 'mame' machine at the time. :) dident want any WM. heh.
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: could have ran mamux (i think its that)
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> MASARUwota:  I think flwm and some of the new ones out now may be smaller then twm. but twm well.. stinks.
[12:58] <MASARUwota> Dr_Willis:yes, yes it does =)
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> I do like flvwm, and jwm for light/small window managers.
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/doc-advcd.html ;)
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> You get much smaller then those 2 and you start loseing too many handy features

[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Kopachris: dont
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> !ops sena
[13:14] <perlsyntax> i hope someone can help me.
[13:14] <tstebut> For libvirt, I wanna install version 0.7.4
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> !ops
[13:14] <Kopachris> sena--: I don't think so
[13:14] <tstebut> But I can't find it
[13:14] <grawity> ActionParsnip: Technically, the command "#dd" does not exist
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> grawity: still...
[13:15] <grawity> Yeah
[13:15] <sena--> ActionParsnip: what is the problem
[13:15] <Kopachris> ActionParsnip: anything I can do to keep it speedy longer?
[13:15] <sena--> Kopachris: yes bs=4194304 speeds it up

[13:16] <Dr_Willis> bs  higgher then  1024 to 2048 range from what i hear dosetn  help.
[13:16] <M1TE5H> hi

[13:16] <sena--> Kopachris: not dev/zero if you wan to wipe you hd then use /dev/zero
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> sena--: doesnt help with file copys though does it
[13:17] <Kopachris> sena--: isn't 4194304 the same as 4M?
[13:17] <sena--> Kopachris: you said you use 2M
[13:17] <Kopachris> sena--: whoops, your right
[13:17] <Kopachris> sorry
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Kopachris: you could also use hpparm to enable dma (maybe) if its disabled
[13:18] <sena--> ActionParsnip: I have tried that and it it speeds up
[13:18] <sofya> hi

[13:22] <ramo102> Hi, I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 last week, and now, at boot, it sometimes (randomly, as I can see) gives me the "Unable to find /dev/sda1" error. The error disappear after restart. Kernel 2.6.31-16-generic-pae. Any clue?
[13:22] <DJones> Diverdude: If the ubuntu version is the same as the windows version, click on View & Layout and pick vertical view, that shows me the email on teh right hand side of the thunderbird window
[13:22] <Jamed> Diverdude: in view->layout you can choose a 3 columns layout which places the preiew on the right side
[13:23] <Jamed> oh too late :)

[13:24] <mattgyver> ramo102, perhaps check your /etc/fstab file and see if its mounting it by the UUID.
[13:24] <sofya> sena
[13:25] <ramo102> mattgyver, it previously use the UUID, I substitute it with the device name, but the error reoccurs

[13:42] <pwd> valada: http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/10/01/nvidia-fakes-fermi-boards-gtc/
[13:42] <SAtjol> so might be European then
[13:42] <sena--> syrius: in linux all the drivers that are supported are in the kernel that is why linux recognizes automatically the hardware
[13:43] <SAtjol> scunizi - can you help me regarding irc in 9.10?
[13:43] <pulen> thank you guys, my sound is back
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | SAtjol
[13:43] <sena--> syrius: though linux does not support every hardware (many manufacturers does not support linux and hide ther source)
[13:43] <aliquerer> How to run Voddler in Ubuntu?
[13:44] <Flynsarmy> How do you turn dontzap off in karmic?
[13:44] <sena--> syrius: so my guess is that you need a driver for your webcam, but it is only guess
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> aliquerer: you'll need a ppa or compile
[13:44] <scunizi> SAtjol: irc?  what's your issues?
[13:44] <Diverdude> DJones, cool, thcx man
[13:44] <aliquerer> ActionParsnip: how do i do that?

[13:45] <SAtjol> I have installed XChat.. When I connect..it just says : looking up server...connecting to chat....and hangs there - Nothing happens
[13:45] <DJones> !dontzap | Flynsarmy
[13:45] <pulen> but still get trouble when PCM was mute
[13:45] <SAtjol> for that matter - the two other IRC apps I installed does the same
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> aliquerer: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[13:46] <fireundubh> how do i either chown a folder to only a group or create an "everyone" user?
[13:46] <pulen> than unmute, sound still disappear
[13:46] <scunizi> SAtjol: but your normal internet connect is good? as in Firefox?
[13:46] <pulen> even volume control was max at pcm

[13:46] <M1TE5H> how to change runlevel in ubuntu
[13:47] <M1TE5H> can anybody know how to change runlevel to 2 in ubuntu I'm use init 2 but it does not working in ubuntu
[13:47] <Pici> !runlevels | M1TE5H
[13:48] <fireundubh> cd ..
[13:48] <Pici> M1TE5H: You shouldn't need to touch the runlevels, what are you trying to do?
[13:48] <scunizi> SAtjol: how are you connecting with xchat? are you typing the command the commands or using the menu's?
[13:49] <M1TE5H> Pici: I just want to start my ubuntu in default textmode b'coz I mostly working with commands I does not require x windows
[13:50] <SAtjol> scunizi - I run 9.10. Installed xchat via the Ubuntu Software centre - when I run it, I go to Applications..internet..Xchat
[13:50] <scunizi> SAtjol: and xchat opens.. then what? how do you try to connect?
[13:50] <Pici> M1TE5H: If you were using gdm/gnome before then issue: sudo update-rc.d gdm remove    (otherwise replace gdm with kdm or xdm or whatever)
[13:51] <Linux4Family> hello are there any body to help me
[13:51] <pulen> but if  i change manually at pcm volume control, than i hear my sound again, so unmute with clicking speaker pic was not working. Is this some bug at jaunty?
[13:51] <SAtjol> it opens..then a box comes up with my name and nicks etc and on that there is a connect button. i then connects...and then it just hanggs
[13:51] <occy> I don't mean to be negative sounding... but this release of Ubuntu is the slowest I've seen of anything in a long time.  Across multiple desktops and laptops.  :(   I love Ubuntu, but it's sad to see what I, a typical end-user, as a drop in quality.
[13:52] <M1TE5H> Pici: if I'm remove gdm then I think I was not able to start my x window in futhure
[13:52] <Linux4Family> i can not edit my applications
[13:52] <sena--> M1TE5H: you can go to runlevel 2 for example with pressing ctrl + alt + f2
[13:52] <Pici> M1TE5H: It doesnt remove the package, it just removes it from starting.  You can always either start it manually with sudo service gdm start or enable it to start again with sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults
[13:52] <sena--> M1TE5H: then you can stp x manager as root /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[13:53] <joaopinto_> sena--, uh ? you don't go into runlevel 2 with that, you just go into the tty console 2
[13:53] <M1TE5H> sena: its not runleve2 it's a virtual console of any runlevel
[13:53] <sena--> M1TE5H: and start it again with startx
[13:53] <scunizi> SAtjol: when you hit the connect button what does it connect to? just the irc server? or nothing?
[13:53] <jmp_> is anybody know how to play rhytmbox in terminal
[13:53] <MASARUwota> occy: it has more stuff, so its slower. makes sense doesnt it?
[13:54] <M1TE5H> sena: actually when I'm in virual console n issuse start x command it give me some fetal errors
[13:54] <marc_> hi,has anybody experiences with opennebula?
[13:54] <oCean_> !anyone | marc_
[13:54] <Linux4Family> i can not access my my menu eidtor what must do me
[13:54] <SAtjol> scunizi: It tries to connect to the irc server - in this case freenode - but the same applies if I want to connect to any other server
[13:54] <sena--> M1TE5H: stop the x first
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> Linux4Family: run: alacarte
[13:55] <sena--> M1TE5H: with /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[13:55] <scunizi> SAtjol: I've no idea what's going on.. have you tried irssi?
[13:55] <jmp_>  excuses is anybody know how to play rhytmbox in terminal?

[13:55] <marc_> is it possible to install the opennebula frontend on one of the worker cluster nodes?
[13:55] <akhil_> How can i start programs like gedit using the at command? Setting the DISPLAY variable to 0 and then executing the command worked for previous versions of Ubuntu.
[13:55] <Linux4Family> it don,t wrok
[13:56] <SAtjol> scunizi - nope - will download it and give a try
[13:56] <sena--> M1TE5H: then stop gnome maybe its gdm ot smth
[13:56] <syrius> sena--, did you suggest any more sorry I was away
[13:56] <akhil_> But DISPLAY variable method doesn't seem to work now. I tried searching, but couldn't find relevant change in the latest version of Ubuntu
[13:56] <M1TE5H> sena: ok
[13:56] <sena--> M1TE5H: does it work
[13:56] <scunizi> SAtjol: it's a cli client .. once loaded connect with /connect irc.freenode.net .. then .. /j #ubuntu
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Linux4Family: run it from a terminal, you will get intelligent output
[13:57] <syrius> sena--, how do I find the driver?

[13:58] <ActionParsnip> syrius: if you run: lsusb    you will get an 8 character hex ID, you can use that in websearches
[13:58] <scunizi> SAtjol: don't know anything about smuxi but xchat is preferred over xchat gnome
[13:59] <SAtjol> scunizi - thanks for the help - I will try -

[14:24] <Guybrush88> jmp_: isn't the command from console ' rhythmbox song_name'?
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: http://daveg.outer-rim.org/entries/2007/12/31/rhythmbox-from-the-command-line/
[14:25] <Compost> anyone?
[14:26] <pwd> >= greater or equal
[14:26] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, thanks for the link
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Compost: it means you need a later version that the one you have
[14:26] <Compost> Ok, thanks

[14:27] <LjL> !pl | krzysztof
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: thres cvlc
[14:28] <krzysztof> Ja tu pierwszy raz właśnie próbuję ubuntu
[14:28] <Compost> ActionParsnip: the weird thing is that it looks lika I have version 2.18.3-1 of libgtk. So why does it complain?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> !fr | krzysztof
[14:28] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, what?
[14:29] <sAnta89_> ActionParsnip, fr?  >.<
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> Compost: is it sufficient for the package? Can you give the whole lie about the dep
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: vlc also has a cli interface with cvlc
[14:29] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, I know how to play vlc in terminal
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> sAnta89_: i'm tired, help me out dude
[14:29] <krzysztof> angielski znam ale bardzo słabo
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> mplauyer has the ascii out lib feature. :)   ya can watch a video in the terminal that way
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: cool, just showing it an alternative, it also has a we interface :)
[14:29] <quizme> i have a windows partition.  is that ntfs-3g ?
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs3g | quizme
[14:30] <jmp_> yeah, but the one you gave just launch rhythmbox
[14:30] <eremite> jmp_ why not just use the GUI?
[14:30] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, I'm talking about playin in the console
[14:30] <quizme> actionparsnip i'm trying to set up fstab.  and in wikipedia it says to put that
[14:30] <Compost> ActionParsnip: well I'm trying to install xdraft and that one needs gdk-imlib11. But gdk-imlib11 complains about libgtk
[14:30] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, just to know
[14:31] <sAnta89_> quizme, set the type as auto to be safe
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> quizme: sounds cool, if you add the line it will  mount at boot :)
[14:31] <quizme> ok thank u
[14:31] <jmp_> eremite,  I;will give you the one to make vlc play in console, then you will never use the GUI
[14:31] <quizme> i'll use auto ?
[14:32] <eremite> ok jmp_: I will take that offer.
[14:32] <eremite> I hate VLC though.
[14:32] <jmp_> vlc -I ncurses \home\"user"\"Music"\"the folder you want to play
[14:33] <jmp_> eremite, here I suppose it is in Music folder
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> eremite: i use it as it plays nice with my g1 phone :)
[14:33] <quizme> rebooting.... hope it works
[14:34] <jmp_> eremite, try and give me your view
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: or ls *.mp3 > playlist.m3u; clvc ./playlist.m3u
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: you can use the m3u later and not have to recreate it later
[14:34] <doubledong> Hello Ubuntus!
[14:35] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, yes thanks
[14:35] <doubledong> I have a quick question for any Ubuntu experts. :0
[14:35] <jneves> doubledong: try asking it
[14:35] <doubledong> The document at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedFilesystems says: "The desktop CD installer can now set up encrypted file systems in all automatic partitioning modes. The alternate installer of Ubuntu 7.10 already supported encryption in "use full disk" and "manual" partitioning modes; 8.04 now also offers encryption when automatically resizing an existing partition or automatically partitioning free space."
[14:35] <MrCatEye> hello
[14:35] <doubledong> But I don't see any option for this. :o I'm using the 9.10 standard install.
[14:36] <eremite> Well, just tried VLC through the console.  I absolutely hate it.
[14:36] <jneves> doubledong: it's in one of the last screens, if you want it to automatically setup encrypted homes on boot
[14:36] <doubledong> Ohh, okay.
[14:36] <doubledong> Thank you very much. :) I didn't want to nuke my current partitions until I was sure.
[14:36] <weldan_> cvlc -vo
[14:36] <weldan_> hehe
[14:37] <doubledong> Can't wait to try this out on my eeePC. It's the only distro I've tried that has wireless working out of the box.
[14:37] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, yes but I can not choose the song
[14:37] <MrCatEye> I am trying cron and made a cronjob simple one like "ls -l /etc/home/chris", I thought the result is displayed in the console, but I can'T see anything and the logfile says cron is doing his job like I told him to do
[14:38] <hikenboot> hello --if i have a raid 1 array with 3 lvm volumes /,/home ,/data and a non lvm /boot on raid 1, (I said to let it boot if a raid member fails)...will this fail gracefully if i shutdown and disconnect a drive? Will the data on the drive still be available, will i need to do anything to get it to boot?
[14:38] <grawity> MrCatEye: Cronjobs are run by a daemon, no matter if the user is logged in or not. So it is impossible for them to be displayed on console.
[14:38] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, you know try to read a  music folder using vlc -I ncurses , then tell me what you think
[14:38] <grawity> MrCatEye: So the output of every job is emailed to you (using local mail).
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: you can use next/previous but i know what you mean, i usully use th web interface or my phone it i just want to put music on when my monitor is off
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: sure, gimme a sec
[14:39] <eremite> daemons can be run through the console, I run conky with -d.
[14:39] <grawity> MrCatEye: Unless you redirect the output elsewhere using the usual > (and >& and 2> and so on) redirection operators.
[14:39] <alx> test
[14:39] <adante> man
[14:39] <adante> is there a way of installing an up to date version of vlc on my computer?
[14:39] <MrCatEye> ok thanks a lot grawity
[14:39] <eremite> adante: google VLC and find their website for the latest releases.
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: not bad :)
[14:40] <eremite> adante: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: how to navigate the list?
[14:40] <adante> eremite: i have and i have tried the ppa and i can't install because there are some dependencies it won't install
[14:40] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, just using the arrow keys
[14:40] <jmp_> down and up
[14:40] <adante> in windows i just download latest version and install it, is this technically impossible in linux?
[14:40] <eremite> adante: I use rhythmbox and mplayer for all my multimedia needs.  I hate VLC so Im not the guy to ask, sorry.
[14:41] <VCoolio> adante: there are probably also repos on launchpad that have it, so you stay updated; if you download a .deb you can just click it as in windoos
[14:41] <adante> eremite: hmm, on that note can you recommend a frontend for mplayer?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: not working via ssh, i'll do it in a terminal using x forwarding
[14:42] <adante> VCoolio: am i right in thinking these debs are not going to work without the required dependencies, and in general there is no non trivial solution to simply getting vlc 1.0.3 to work on 9.04?
[14:42] <eremite> adante: i mplayer as-is, out of the box.  That way it ALWAYS looks good with my theme.
[14:42] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, ok you will see that it is more nice than use the GUI
[14:43] <VCoolio> adante: 9.04 don't know, installer should mention the missing dep so you can look for it; but check smplayer also for frontend
[14:43] <zoug> adante: sudo apt-get install vlc? or from synaptic?
[14:43] <grawity> adante: The VideoLAN website has Debian/Ubuntu repositories, you can use those.
[14:43] <adante> zoug: that installs 0.9.9
[14:43] <boscop> I need a big dictionary file with english (technical) words for a task in an informatics competition that requires the construction of anagrams. where do I find such a file?
[14:43] <airtonix> any way to have the archive files i mount with archive mounter read/write ( currently they are in a read only state )
[14:44] <adante> grawity: tried the ppa's listed there but they need dependencies i don't have
[14:44] <eremite> boscop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300029 --  This might interest you.
[14:44] <Khul> io quick question: doble click seems to be unabled! i cant doble click and open folders...any1 know how to change this??
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: my phone can tlk to the web interface and change songs, the ncurses interface is nice though
[14:45] <LizardK|ng> dasevlc is awesome, almost as awesome as boxee

[14:48] <ActionParsnip> quizme: define "using"

[14:49] <allguru> my microphone isn't working on Audacity , help :(
[14:49] <jas72z> I would like to do a fresh install of karmic upgrade is there anyway to save my jaunty settings 3g mobile etc
[14:50] <aljosa> i'm using kubuntu/9.10 and firefox is translated to croatian although kde4 is in english. how can i force firefox to use english locale?
[14:50] <jmp_> jas72z, , I will not advise you to upgrade to koala
[14:50] <eremite> allguru: open yoru sound properties and check to see if the either line-in or mic are chosen.  If one doesnt work try the other.  Make sure volume is up and speakers are on.
[14:51] <jas72z> jmp_ ok why? thought i would wait till now is it still buggy?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> quizme: you can do: cd ~; pwd; mount
[14:51] <jmp_> jas72z, it is better to  make a fresh install , but not upgrading from jaunty to koala
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> jas72z:  i tend to do clean installs rather then upgrades..
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> quizme: you can see the location of the folder then where that folder is mounted. By deault it wil be part of /
[14:52] <jas72z> jmp_ thats what i want to do fresh install just would like to restore my 3g settings
[14:52] <eremite> allguru: if that did not work for you, try opening Sound Recorder and do a test recording with that.
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: i found a plugin for gnome-do
[14:52] <airtonix> any idea how i would get gvfs-mount to mount an archive in read/write mode ?
[14:53] <quizme> actionparsnip: i mean like is it /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 or /dev/sda5 ?
[14:53] <jmp_> jas72z,  just save the config file
[14:53] <ibm> my computer is Thinkpad T400 , after  installing  Ubuntu 9.10,I can not driver ATI ,but when i drived ATI  so i can not log in system  but safe modle

[14:55] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, I think can not play radio channel, that is why I 'm going for rhythmbox
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> jas72z:  depends on where they are stored.. just backup the config files i guess.
[14:55] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, if you can't find I will just use the GUI
[14:56] <eremite> jmp_ rhythmbox is the best media player for audio on Linux in my opinion.  The GUI is easy to use.
[14:56] <jas72z> Dr_Willis I will give it ago. going to get linux format in a min save me downloading karmic
[14:57] <werock> need help. please show me how to make my ubuntu 8.04 did not asking for username and pasword when login?
[14:57] <xJust> hi guys :D .. i want to use "alsa" instead of "pulseaudio" .. and if things went bad and i lost the sound .. i want to use "pulseaudio" back .. how do i do that ??????? ^^
[14:57] <jmp_> ActionParsnip, yes I know, but u also know how powerful is the terminal, just think by using find you can launch an album folder in the console
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: found this: http://markmail.org/message/allcoxpddvhjlpso
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> jmp_: totally :)
[14:57] <eremite> jmp_ : have you seen this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-389100.html
[14:58] <[sober]> am i the only one that really dislikes karmic?  Boots super slow and hangs semi-frequently ><
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> [sober]: was it a clean install or an upgrade?
[14:59] <ibm> How can i am not login ubuntu by gnome ,let me to choose login modle from gnome , command line or xtrem
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> [sober]:  i find it boots faster for me.. and rarely hangs. (cant recall it ever hanging actually)
[14:59] <jmp_> eremite, yes
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> ibm:  you dont want to use teh gdm menu to select teh session? You could edit the .dmrc file I belive
[14:59] <[sober]> ActionParsnip, clean install on a eeepc 1000he with a SSD.  boot times are awful vs 9.04 and occasionally fails to complete booting
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> [sober]: fully updated karmic?
[15:00] <ibm> ok i will be to try
[15:00] <ubuntu__> sono roberto, puoi ridigitare che lo incollo ?
[15:00] <[sober]> ActionParsnip, as of yesterday :P  likely i'll just go back and  return it to 904
[15:00] <xJust> hi guys :D .. i want to use "alsa" instead of "pulseaudio" .. and if things went bad and i lost the sound .. i want to use "pulseaudio" back .. how do i do that ??????? ^^
[15:01] <jas72z> Should I replace jaunty with karmic?
[15:01] <ElectRo`> [sober], you might want to use the netbook remix
[15:01] <eremite> jas72z: I am having a lot of problems with Karmic after upgrading.
[15:01] <eremite> Karmic is Ubuntu's Vista.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> jas72z:  test out the live cd if you want.
[15:02] <[sober]> ElectRo`, tried it.  it was fantasically horrible, i'm probably just not wise enough to disable all of the goofiness on it.... felt like willy wonka had taken over
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> [sober]: is it the 1000HE or 1000H
[15:02] <sAnta89_> eremite, that's harsh, dude (:
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> with every release theres always people that have issues with upgrades.
[15:02] <donnetous> Entrez le texte ici...bsr
[15:02] <jmp_> eremite, I told you do not upgrade
[15:02] <airtonix> any idea how i would get gvfs-mount to mount an archive in read/write mode ?
[15:02] <[sober]> ActionParsnip, 1000he.  SSD and different wifi card in it, neither is original
[15:02] <ElectRo`> [sober], its built for the atom processor and ssd's
[15:02] <jas72z> eremite i always do a fresh install i find if you upgrade you get a lot of problems graphics etc what sort of problems are you getting?
[15:02] <sAnta89_> !fr | donnetous
[15:02] <jmp_> eremite, just install booting on the cd of karamic
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> airtonix:  it may not beable to do it. THeres some 'fuse' tools that can proberly do it for most archive types. or try the 'mc' file manager. it can access most archives as if they were directories
[15:03] <[sober]> ElectRo`, ideally i'd be able to manually update to the netbook kernel on the current install, ya?
[15:03] <xJust> how to install alsa :( ..
[15:03] <xJust> !alsa
[15:03] <jmp_> xJust, sudo apt-get install alsa
[15:04] <ibm> Dr_Willis  How edit the .dmrc? my .dmrc file's content is :
[15:04] <ibm> [Desktop]
[15:04] <ibm> Language=zh_CN.UTF-8
[15:04] <ibm> Layout=cn
[15:04] <ibm> Session=gnome-failsafe
[15:04] <FloodBot4> ibm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> ibm:  its a text file.. use a text editor.
[15:04] <eremite> jas72z: many problems with screen resolution detection, sound drivers problems (cant hear mic through speakers) and a host of other small things that are driving me nuts.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> [sober]: for the slow boot time, reboot then run: dmesg | less    if you find a large gap in the time, thats your culprit
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> ibm:  its easier to just use the menus from gdm. it will change the .dmrc as needed.
[15:04] <jmp_> ibm, choose ur favorite editor
[15:04] <xJust> thanks jmp_
[15:05] <xJust> anyone knows about "JACK control" .. it's not working correctly with me ..

[15:06] <ActionParsnip> !nick | jussi01
[15:06] <Aciid> why do you have to be logged in to download from ubuntuforums.org ?
[15:06] <ElectRo`> [sober], im sure you could but you might run into problems if you just looking for the kernel you could download it manually
[15:06] <[sober]> brilliance, ActionParsnip.  dinking with it
[15:06] <Ookami> Dr_willis, thanks doc ;)
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> ibm:  why cant you? theres menus at the bootom of the gdm login screen to seelct what window manager to use.

[15:08] <Pipi772> Helloooooooo!!!!
[15:08] <ibm> yes
[15:09] <sAnta89_> ActionParsnip, you should probably go get some sleep  (:
[15:09] <Pipi772> For a normal shutdown should i run HALT before POWEROFF ?? or with POWEROFF is enough???
[15:09] <jmp_> ibm, which version of ubuntu_ , are u using?
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> ibm:   you could just delete the .dmrc file and it would go back to the default.. which is gnome.. which will probverly crash if selecting gnome crashes...
[15:09] <ibm> 9.10
[15:09] <sAnta89_> !register | Ookami
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> ibm:  as a test. you could make a new user. and see if that new user can login to gnome.
[15:10] <erUSUL> fireundubh: you can achieve that for groups (the folders/files will inherit parent group) setting the sgid on the folder

[15:13] <DJones> OokamiD: You shouldn't need to put the nick in because it registers the nick your currently using
[15:13] <sAnta89_> TopKatz_, check netstat?
[15:13] <jmp_> ibm, but this won't solve the problem, you should install a fresh version of koala
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> OokamiD: don't do it in here
[15:13] <OokamiD> ok ok ^^ .. thanks
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> eremite:  check the conky example scripts they got. theres proberly one or more that do that.
[15:13] <VCoolio> eremite: don't know if conky has wrapping features built in now, but here is an informative thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818053&page=2

[15:13] <jmp_> ibm, do you have a cd of koala?
[15:13] <OokamiD> ActionParsnip, hm .. why ?
[15:13] <LjL> OokamiD: "Ookami" is already registered, though. by you maybe? it was last used in july?
[15:14] <DJones> OokamiD: If you need more help on registering, the best place to ask would be #freenode which is the networks help & support channel
[15:14] <poyntz> hi. has anyone successfully installed COD: MW 2?
[15:14] <OokamiD> LjL, how do you check when was it last used ?
[15:14] <ibm> yes  I burned a cd by myself
[15:14] <LjL> OokamiD: /msg nickserv info ookami
[15:14] <OokamiD> DJones, ok man
[15:14] <poyntz> it's an 11 GB game and I'm unhappy because it seems to only let me install via steam. (shouldn't all the files be on the CD?)
[15:14] <ibm> jmp i have

[15:14] <jmp_> ibm, ok just boot on it , then install

[15:15] <poyntz> when I try to install via the CD I just get "no internet connection" errors
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> OokamiD: so if yuo screw it up we can't see your email or password
[15:15] <ibm> jmp install again?
[15:15] <jmp_> ibm, yes
[15:15] <poyntz> anyone?

[15:16] <saleems> hai
[15:16] <jmp_> ibm, yes if you want a stable system, I have done it myself
[15:16] <LjL> OokamiD: you probably have a 'server' or 'status' or similar tab, with no channel on it
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> Aciid:  gnome-panel &

[15:18] <airtonix> Dr_Willis, this is using the fuse tools

[15:18] <Dr_Willis> airtonix:  mc also lets you  browse the contents of .deb archives and rpms
[15:18] <ibm> Is there a method to change some configuration file to solve it?

[15:19] <ibm> jmp Is there a method to change some configuration file to solve it?
[15:20] <jmp_> ibm yes but you will struggle with many problem later, so install from te cd , it only take few minutes
[15:20] <jmp_> ibm, then you will be free from all sorts of bugs
[15:20] <jmyers> lol, I guess I really screwed up buying this AMD64 Athlon hardware eh? :/

[15:22] <NfNitLoop> I've got a library installed on my system that was likely installed to satisfy some dependency.  Is there a command I can run to see what dependency that was?
[15:23] <geirha> NfNitLoop: apt-cache rdepends package-name
[15:23] <oCean_> !afk > binitamshah|away
[15:23] <NfNitLoop> geirha: Cool, thanks.  And, I just realized, I could do: apt-get --no-act remove package.  :p
[15:26] <eremite> Am i the only person who hates how much trouble Linux is?  I wish installing and uninstalling was just a simple click of a file instead of 40 lines of console cowboy extravaganza.  /me sudo-apt get install Windows soon :(
[15:26] <]sober]> You kidding?  Linux  comparatively to windows is an absolute joy to install stuff on.
[15:26] <thesteamboat> Any advice for getting a touchpad working on a new Thinkpad T500?
[15:27] <NfNitLoop> eremite: that's the price of infinite configurability.  but yeah, have to agree with ]sober]:   apt-get install package <--- way easy.
[15:27] <geirha> eremite: There's synaptic and adept if you prefer mouse clicking
[15:27] <eremite> ]sober[: double clicking vs 20 lines of console = Linux fail
[15:27] <]sober]> You don't have to use the console... hell, I only know how to use it about halfassed..
[15:28] <NfNitLoop> anwyay, thanks for the help.  I'll leave y'all to your trolls.  ;)
[15:28] <sheila_> I have Karmic. I got a touchscreen, installed evtouch and calibrated the screen. All movements are reversed, so if I move my finger left the cursor goes right. This is my Xorg.conf http://pastebin.ca/1719519  what should I do?
[15:28] <eremite> ]sober[: if you want to actually use yoru Linux computer for more than surfing sites, you need excellent console skills.
[15:28] <Lanlost> Hey, whats the name of (binary name) or package name for the volume manager (mixer) in Ubuntu?
[15:28] <Lanlost> I use LinuxMint and they took out the normal one (http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2007/12/26/ubuntu-volume-control-playback-hda-intel-alsa.png) in Helena (newest version)
[15:28] <geirha> eremite: Are you talking about proprietary software?
[15:28] <Lanlost> Its a gui alsamixer.. but its not gnome-alsamixer either
[15:29] <nastas> when i'm insert my memory card in the slot, the dmesg shows this "tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:2" any idea?
[15:29] <]sober]> eremite, specifically what uses?  Windows is commonly rough to set things up on in the same way, but as I'm slowly learning nearly anything can be done sans console
[15:29] <rocketship> Does anybody know of a linux visualization tech that will run the VM in the backdround (as a daemon/service) rather than using running a graphical window with your VM in ?
[15:29] <ZzZ> hello,  is there any way to automatically clean up ~/ directory from all the hidden configuration folders?
[15:29] <sheila_> eremite, you are right I cant use open office or other GUI apps either. I am a idiot.
[15:30] <]sober]> truth be told, if i could learn to get wine working (and working well, no mistake!), I'd be entirely rid of windows for all of my computing needs
[15:30] <eremite> If you want to do ANYTHING on a linux install, you need to read 100 user manuals manuals opn hoiw to install it and get proper packages.  No other OS requires this except for *nix.  Windows is by far the easiest to use if you dont want to spend a hour a day reading text manuals on how to do basic functions that are common with other OSs.
[15:30] <oCean_> eremite: if you do not have a technical issue/question, then please take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:30] <sheila_> eremite, sounds like you should get a mac or something
[15:31] <]sober]> eremite, it's what you're used to, mate, that's all.  Get a mac and feel halfwitted for a few days, there's a learning curve always.
[15:31] <geirha> eremite: Uhm, no, just go to Applications -> Add/Remove... -> Search and install
[15:31] <eremite> sheila_ I use Linux as my main OS usually, I just hate how it's made for people who want to basically LINE on a computer.
[15:31] <]sober]> are you not using X, eremite ?
[15:31] <eremite> geirha, you assume all apps are in the repository. They are not.
[15:32] <ctmjr> just another wintroll do not feed it it will grow
[15:32] <sheila_> well could you go and moan about it somewhere else? I am trying to get support
[15:32] <ZzZ> ctmjr, i second that
[15:32] <eremite> then aask about support. No one asked you to answer me.
[15:32] <wannur> test
[15:32] <bazhang> eremite, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic and remain civil
[15:32] <sheila_>  I have Karmic. I got a touchscreen, installed evtouch and calibrated the screen. All movements are reversed, so if I move my finger left the cursor goes right. This is my Xorg.conf http://pastebin.ca/1719519  what should I do?
[15:32] <eremite> I am civil.  Perhaps you should say the same to morons calling me a troll/
[15:32] <magnus> hey. i uninstalled pulseaudio on my ubuntu karmic install, and now the sound only works "sometimes". i found the problem, i have 2 soundcards in my machine, and every other boot, it picks the other card as the primary output. I tried forcing it to using ONLY my built-in soundcard using a ~/.asoundrc file, but it doesn't seem to work. Sometimes the audio works in some apps, while not in others... almost like the output device is random per a
[15:32] <magnus> pplication?
[15:33] <Pipi772> Sheila try rotate the screen..
[15:33] <Pipi772> :)
[15:33] <bazhang> eremite, that language is not acceptable here please desist
[15:34] <eremite> What language?  What the hell?  Who are you, the moral police?  Get fucked bazhang.
[15:34] <]sober]> eremite, you're arguing open ideas without specifics, specifically in a channel for those using that OS, and not listening for answers.  That means you're venting; because of where you are, you're trolling.
[15:34] <LjL> eremite: talk about civil
[15:34] <]sober]> ...twit.
[15:34] <ZzZ> my 2 cents: if you are encouraged to read manuals, etc, it encourages learning, and windows encourages not having brains on a big scale..
[15:34] <Lanlost> no one?
[15:34] <Lanlost> can someone please open up their volume manager
[15:34] <Lanlost> http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2007/12/26/ubuntu-volume-control-playback-hda-intel-alsa.png
[15:34] <Lanlost> and then run top and see what the name of it is?
[15:34] <ms_newbie> hi all, i have a question on postfig config..anyone can help?

[15:34] <Lanlost> I've been trying to figure this out all day

[15:35] <FloodBot4> Lanlost: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:35] <]sober]> jfc, took six seconds for you guys to go past my level of ability ><
[15:36] <Lanlost> that volume control is SO screwed up, I have 3 pages filled with bugs and inconsistances. Pre-karmic then

[15:54] <dewman> hello there, I am trying to figure out how to compile a package from source, the app that I want to compile is k9 copy version 2.3.4 the reason is that the older version seems to be crashing. So I thought maybe I would try to install the latest one. I have the tarball extracted but not sure what to do next
[15:54] <nastas> Classic: M1TE5H all i get is "special device /dev/sdb does not exist"
[15:55] <Kingsnap> is there a way that i can see a NTFS Raid Array with out formating the drives? The disk utility see them as two drives that are in a array but will not put them together to mount.
[15:55] <v0lksman> nastas: have you posted dmesg anywhere?
[15:55] <M1TE5H> just replace /dev/sdb to /dev /sda or /dev/sdb1
[15:55] <]sober]> dewman, "make" is the command i believe you're looking for
[15:55] <M1TE5H> nastas: just replace /dev/sdb to /dev /sda or /dev/sdb1 or dev /sda1
[15:56] <Classic> no, dev/sdb wont help
[15:56] <]sober]> dewman, i found it in the repositories, is that the wrong version?
[15:56] <nastas> v0lksman: yes. all i get when i insert the card is "tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:2"
[15:56] <Classic> here is how it mounted my card..../dev/mmcblk0p1        2.0G  1.9G  102M  95% /media/0000-60BE
[15:56] <dewman> ]sober], when i use the wizard it crashes....
[15:56] <justd> hm
[15:56] <ctmjr> dewman: there should be a README or INSTALL file with directions on how to compile it
[15:57] <]sober]> dewman, you tried apt-get install?
[15:57] <Classic> dev/sdb is for usbs only i guessa
[15:57] <dewman> ]sober], I will try to install the repo version from the command line and see if that corrects the issue
[15:58] <yancho> guys .. i have a sata hard disk which is factory formatted .. i loaded ubuntu live cd .. but its not being found in system .. any idea what i can do please?
[15:58] <]sober]> dewman, nm, it's only 2.3.3 for a version.  dunno if that does any good then
[15:58] <cweagans> I just used the command here to remove all the gnome packages from a stock 9.10 install:  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde. Next, I ran sudo aptitude install kubunu-desktop. When I boot my computer, it comes up to a shell login. I know I can just login and run startx, but how do I get it to boot to a graphical login screen?
[15:58] <M1TE5H> yancho: mount /dev/sda /media
[15:59] <nastas> M1TE5H: Classic v0lksman i tried everything but nothing. the divice does not excist is the answer
[15:59] <sheila_> This is the output of lsusb http://pastebin.ca/1719547  What should I put in xorg.conf? Section "InputDevice"
[15:59] <sheila_>         Identifier "?????????"
[15:59] <Tina-> cweagans: run kdm
[15:59] <dewman> ]sober], well i just installed it from repo and it crashed with signal 11, thats the problem I have been having..
[15:59] <]sober]> dewman, sorry mate, past me then :(
[15:59] <dewman> ]sober], 2.3.3 that is.
[15:59] <yancho> M1TE5H: i need it mounted as fat .. should i add the parameters?
[16:00] <dewman> ]sober], its all good. =)
[16:00] <cweagans> Tina-: k, how do I make that happen automatically?
[16:00] <Classic> nastas, well, go to /dev/ and look for file starting with mmc*
[16:00] <Tina-> edit the xdm initscript to load kdm and not gdm
[16:00] <Classic> see if it is even there
[16:01] <cweagans> Tina-: where is that script?
[16:01] <Tina-> i have no ubuntu so i dont know ;)
[16:01] <cweagans> Tina-: oh, haha, thanks :)
[16:02] <M1TE5H> yancho: you mean fat16 or fat 32
[16:02] <Tina-> /etc/conf.d/xdm on a sane linux install lol
[16:02] <nastas> Classic: i allready have search for this. nothing at all
[16:02] <commx> hello, are there known issues with dmraid w/ jmicron fakeraid with the current dmraid rc15? Because it recognizes my fakeraid, but not it's partitions. On freebsd, anything works fine - so I guess it's an mdraid issue.
[16:02] <Classic> ah, its not installed at all...
[16:02] <dem0> well my fellow ubuntuers, because repeated kernel panics i am about to abandon this wubi install for a real one, is there a way i can keep my current apps/settings?
[16:03] <yancho> M1TE5H: fat 32 .. problem is fdisk -l is saying it does not contain a valid parition table
[16:04] <dem0> can i copy all the folders of wubi to my real install and overwrite? or not?
[16:04] <M1TE5H> Tina-: you can change your gdm or kde at login screen just change session n select your defaut kde or gdm as you are wish
[16:04] <Tina-> i have no problem lol
[16:04] <Tina-> it was for cweagans
[16:04] <Ookami> hi everyone ^^, is there a way to change my user ID in ubuntu ?
[16:05] <nastas> Classic: do you think that while i was trying to fix it, i just broke it??? :P
[16:05] <cweagans> M1TE5H: yeah, the login screen doesn't come up. That's thee issue ;)
[16:05] <DaZ> Ookami: id?
[16:05] <Ookami> daz, username like the "login name"
[16:05] <DaZ> Ookami: usermod
[16:05] <M1TE5H> cweagans: so you have only text base loging
[16:05] <Classic> nastas, could be, no idea
[16:05] <Ookami> DaZ, hm ?
[16:06] <DaZ> Ookami: usermod
[16:06] <DaZ> [;
[16:06] <cweagans> erm...never mind I guess. I rebooted and it seems to have fixed itself
[16:06] <theadmin> DaZ: Hm. There should be a graphical thing for that, yet GNOME's user settings don't allow this.
[16:06] <Ookami> Daz, i don't get it ^^
[16:06] <cweagans> M1TE5H: but yes, that was the situation
[16:06] <M1TE5H> cweagans: if you have no login screen appear then how to login in ubuntu
[16:06] <genii> cweagans: I've had this same issue. The workaround I used was to install gdm, then issue: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm              and choose kdm for the manager. then to deinstall gdm again
[16:06] <DaZ> Ookami: use usermod :f
[16:06] <theadmin> Ookami: Type "man usermod" into a terminal and read.
[16:06] <nastas> Classic: i think that i'm just gonna make a clean install. again...
[16:07] <Ookami> lol ,, ok
[16:07] <yancho> M1TE5H: i managed to get to palimsest disk utility .. but the screen is 800x600 and i cannot go to create parititon table .. damn it lol
[16:08] <Ookami> DaZ, okay let's say i want to change my username , the homefolder name ,, and all .. like a username in a fresh install .. what do i do ?
[16:08] <DaZ> Ookami: you use usermod
[16:08] <]sober]> Ookami, like making a new user and delete the old one?
[16:08] <Ookami> DaZ, Sober, no no .. just change the name ^^
[16:08] <Classic> nastas, that might solve it...
[16:09] <Classic> nastas, one last thing
[16:09] <Ookami> DaZ, i'm not an expert ,, can you tell me the whole command ?
[16:09] <Classic> do this
[16:09] <M1TE5H> yancho: if you have a new hd then format it with gparted included in live cd
[16:09] <DaZ> Ookami: usermod -h
[16:09] <theadmin> Ookami, well, to change the home folder name you can use "mv ~ "new folder name""
[16:09] <DaZ> or man usermod
[16:09] <Kins> Shit
[16:09] <Kins> I like shit
[16:09] <Kins> Shit is nice

[16:11] <JustMozz1> hi guys. how can I remove items from the systray?
[16:11] <Classic> nastas, then it is not installed at all....
[16:11] <theadmin> Ookami: Okay, so, "usermod -l newusername -d newhomefolder -m"
[16:11] <]sober]> JustMozz1, you can often rightclick on them and look about, or set up so they don't run on startup?
[16:11] <nastas> Classic: is there any way to install it?
[16:11] <genii> Ookami: Basically to do: sudo usermod -dm /home/new-username-here -l new-username-here old-username-here
[16:12] <theadmin> genii: What the old bit is for?!
[16:12] <theadmin> Oh I got it lol
[16:12] <Classic> any buffs out there? how do we install a dev ?
[16:12] <nastas> Classic: or just give me a hint to search for
[16:12] <Ookami> theadmin, so whichone ?
[16:12] <JustMozz1> ]sober]: the thing is that I want to remove the network indicator from the systray. I tried right click but there is no option to remove it.
[16:12] <drack> h
[16:12] <SMiTTY> Anyone have any dealings with Canonical? And if so, how is the support from them?
[16:12] <drack> то
[16:12] <theadmin> Ookami: Do what genii said, I'm not a pro in this stuff
[16:12] <drack> привет всем)
[16:13] <theadmin> !ru | drack
[16:13] <JustMozz1> or can I set the gnome-panel to not be always on top?
[16:13] <Ookami> genii, so it's like this sudo usermod -dm /home/&&& -l &&& old&&&
[16:14] <theadmin> Ookami: Lol no, oldusername is the OLD username of yours, one you have now
[16:14] <Ookami> lol ,, i know :P
[16:14] <]sober]> JustMozz1, system - admin -  startup applications - network manager, remove checkmark?  i dunno if that kills the functionality also though
[16:14] <DEViUS> hello i did a TCP port scan using nmap on my pc, and found pTCP and UDP port 17500 open, i checked it online and it seems to be for a Trojan Horse, i need help pliz this isnt nice
[16:15] <JustMozz1> ]sober]: it would
[16:15] <Ookami> genii, theadmin, that will change the folder name .. and "the username that shows at the upper right corner" .. right?
[16:15] <LjL> DEViUS: if that's a PC running Ubuntu, install and run "rkhunter" and/or "chkrootkit"
[16:15] <Classic> nastas, go into bios and see if the controller is enabled
[16:15] <nastas> ok brb Classic
[16:15] <theadmin> Ookami: Well yeah, though, unless you set the "Real name"
[16:15] <DaZ> DEViUS: netstat
[16:15] <jb_> bonjour
[16:15] <Ookami> theadmin, i don't get .. but i'll just try it ^^
[16:15] <Ookami> brb
[16:16] <theadmin> Ookami" You might have to relogin too
[16:16] <genii> Ookami: The -dm /home/newname    moves all the stuff from old dir to new one with the right name. The -l newname  os the part which changes the name.
[16:17] <DEViUS> LjL, ok ill get them
[16:18] <dewman> ]sober], well for what ever reason when i installed the debugging utility for kde the application started to work....
[16:18] <dewman> ]sober], very odd stuff. owell. its working now. =) yay!
[16:18] <Ookami> back
[16:19] <]sober]> dewman, you have now learned how to frighten things into working.  Congratulations. :)
[16:19] <Ookami> genii, theadmin, nothing happend :S
[16:19] <dewman> ]sober], LOL.....
[16:19] <genii> Ookami: You didn't put all those "&&&&" in the command, did you?
[16:19] <Ookami> lol no
[16:20] <Ookami> i put letters .. small and i did it right
[16:20] <DEViUS> LjL, are you well experienced in sing those 2 apps

[16:20] <CharlesPito> folks, how can i check the checksum sha1 ?
[16:20] <Ookami> genii, wanna try one more time? plz
[16:20] <DaZ> CharlesPito: sha1sum?
[16:20] <LjL> DEViUS: there is very little to using them... you just start them and let them run. if they give you alarms, you post them
[16:20] <Nicekiwi9> Dell Vostro 1510, Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 and on first and every boot they onboard touchpad and keyboard fail to work, help?
[16:20] <genii> Ookami: No message back means command went OK. Need a logoff-old-name then logon-newname cycle
[16:20] <Classic> hello,  is there any way to automatically clean up ~/ directory from all the hidden configuration folders?
[16:21] <CharlesPito> Daz: sometimes i see md5, sha1 ...
[16:21] <Ookami> oh ,, there was a message back
[16:21] <DaZ> Classic: rm -r ~/.*
[16:21] <DEViUS> LjL, so i updated it using --update, now i just use --check    , thats it ??
[16:21] <M1TE5H> For All Ubuntu Begineers Must Check This Link This Is Very Useful 4 You http://xtremediary.blogspot.com/2009/11/linux-security-tips.html
[16:21] <Ookami> genii, there was a message abck a log list of options or something
[16:21] <Classic> DaZ, i ment for apps that are uninstalled
[16:21] <tempspace> Does anybody know where Ubuntu kicks off syndaemon from? I want to change the value it uses for the time it turns off the touchpad between typing?
[16:21] <DaZ> eh [;
[16:21] <LjL> Classic: there is not
[16:21] <Classic> ah, ok, thanks
[16:22] <Ookami> genii, ok let's say new username = a ,, old one = b ,,, what would the command be
[16:22] <Classic> so do it by hand then
[16:22] <CharlesPito> Daz: thanks DAZ, put it on your mother computer
[16:22] <]sober]> tempspace, sorry, using touchfreeze myself
[16:22] <tempspace> ]sober]: Problems with syndaemon?
[16:23] <]sober]> tempspace, more that i was able to get this running exactly how i wanted in little/no time...
[16:23] <tonyvvt> ciao
[16:23] <DaZ> Ookami: first logout  [;
[16:23] <Bacta> Will I be able to boot a 9.10 iso off a DVD?
[16:23] <Ookami> DaZ, i did
[16:23] <Ookami> i think the command wasn't right .. so i want to try one more time
[16:23] <tonyvvt> !list
[16:24] <genii> Ookami: Ah... i messed up where the -m option should go
[16:24] <genii> Ookami:  sudo usermod -d /home/new-username-here -m -l new-username-here old-username-here
[16:24] <Ookami> genii .. careful man :D .. ok i'll try this one
[16:24] <DEViUS> LjL, i get many warnings
[16:24] <Datawire> Bah, I feel like an idiot. I'm new to Ubuntu and I can't figure out why Firefox doesn't seem to want to stream video.
[16:24] <generallee> Is there any way to get a server restart into recovery console?
[16:25] <genii> Ookami: The -m should have been after the new home dir name, etc etc
[16:25] <]sober]> commono issue, Datawire .
[16:25] <Bacta> Datawire: Do you have Flash installed?
[16:25] <Datawire> I honestly don't know, I just installed Ubuntu.
[16:25] <generallee> so i can log in over ssh and do the things i need to do?
[16:25] <LjL> DEViUS: post them to pastebin.ca
[16:25] <Bacta> Make sure the Flash plugin is installed
[16:25] <Classic> Bacta, should be able to, just make sure you go in BIOS or device boot order and switch to CD/DVD to first position
[16:25] <DEViUS> LjL, ok
[16:25] <Bacta> If I want to dual boot windows 7 will I need to install that first?
[16:26] <Datawire> Flash plug-in, alright, one second.
[16:26] <Ookami> genii, it says usermod: user "oldone" is currently logged in
[16:26] <DaZ> Bacta: no but it spares you grub restoring
[16:26] <Bacta> Datawire: Ubuntu doesn't seem to come bundled with that, a pet gripe of mine
[16:26] <DEViUS> LjL, there http://pastebay.com/77337
[16:26] <Datawire> I have Shockwave Flash (Gnash?) Plug-in.
[16:27] <Bacta> I would also suggest Chrome for Linux, it's really really good and has much better performance
[16:27] <trism> Datawire: you don't want gnash, you want to install flashplugin-installer (so uninstall any gnash plugins)
[16:27] <DaZ> Bacta: and it's spyware
[16:27] <LjL> DEViUS: i don't see any real warning. the one about "unhide" is normal AFAIK
[16:27] <Datawire> Alright, so Flash website for the plug-in?
[16:27] <Bacta> DaZ: ?
[16:27] <Ookami> DaZ
[16:28] <Ookami> DaZ, how do i logout and put the command ?
[16:28] <Ookami> DaZ, i mean while i'm out ^^
[16:28] <DaZ> Ookami: create new account
[16:28] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[16:28] <Datawire> A-ha, found the Flash plug-in in the Tools tab.
[16:28] <Ookami> hm .. ok
[16:28] <trism> Datawire: no, it is in the repository, if you bring up a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) you can type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer to install it (or you can use System/Administration/Synaptic which may be easier for removing gnash)
[16:28] <DEViUS> LjL, but there are 3 suspect apps and 2 suspect files, oh and btw i have wine, could it be a windows virus running?
[16:28] <Datawire> Thanks guys, trying to learn.
[16:28] <DEViUS> LjL, thats why maybe its not detected
[16:28] <DEViUS> =[
[16:29] <zeitlos> yo
[16:29] <Ookami> DaZ, add user = gray
[16:29] <Ookami> ?
[16:29] <Datawire> "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" in the terminal then?
[16:29] <DaZ> Ookami: sudo adduser isuckatunix
[16:29] <DaZ> logout, login in the terminal
[16:29] <trism> Datawire: easiest way
[16:30] <Ookami> DaZ, loool .. i suck more than u do :P
[16:30] <nastas> Classic: everything seems ok
[16:30] <DaZ> Ookami: gpasswd -a isuckatunix wheel
[16:30] <Classic> nastas, then im out of ideas
[16:30] <gabbler> hi can someone please tell me the apt command to check a version of an application (preferably both in stalled and searched for in apt-cache)
[16:30] <ubuntu_> running live cd
[16:31] <Ookami> brb guys
[16:31] <DaZ> Ookami: or just set root password, but i don't think it'd be good for you :f
[16:32] <trism> gabbler: apt-cache policy package_name will tell you the version (and whether it is installed or not)
[16:32] <gabbler> thanks trism
[16:32] <Datawire> Uh.
[16:33] <Datawire> I guess that concludes the first time I use the Terminal.
[16:33] <Datawire> And it worked, thanks.
[16:33] <trism> Datawire: what's wrong?
[16:33] <chiques> Does anyone know of any apps to two way text from withing Ubuntu?
[16:34] <]sober]> chiques, you can use an email client or something like pidgin, just takes some working at it
[16:34] <Datawire> Alright, now the important thing is out of the way.
[16:34] <chiques> ]sober], pidgin would be convenient, I'll check that out.
[16:34] <Datawire> In order for me to properly learn to use Ubuntu, I should check out the community documentation, right?
[16:35] <]sober]> hrm.  xchat doesn't like me at all
[16:35] <iiiii> why would exim not honor my .forward file?
[16:35] <]sober]> Datawire, how  much do you feel that you know, yet?
[16:35] <Datawire> None, I just installed it.
[16:35] <Datawire> ...was just tired of Windows, and was interested.
[16:35] <kuna236> gabbler: apt-cache showpkg packageName
[16:35] <]sober]> you made it here with it?
[16:35] <Geoffrey2> hey everyone, I recently purchased one of those internal USB multi-card readers...any particular trick to getting Ubuntu to recognize a card when it's installed?
[16:36] <Slart> Geoffrey2: afaik those normally just work.. when you connect it you get a couple of new drives
[16:36] <oCean_> Datawire: pocketguide is nice start/overview. Get free copy: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html
[16:36] <Datawire> Then I shall start there, thanks!
[16:36] <]sober]> oCean_, that's exactly what i was looking to find for him :)
[16:36] <Geoffrey2> both lights are on, so it's getting power and a card is in, but I'm not getting any device options
[16:37] <oCean_> ]sober]: bookmarked the page :)
[16:37] <]sober]> Datawire, it's a good balance between "this is a computer, can you say com-pyou-ter?" and "just type apt-get grep install man 23p9o8sdl"
[16:37] <aman> can anyone tell me which option will show full details of a *.tg.bz2 archive -cjf, -tjvf, -zdf, -txf ??????
[16:37] <generallee> whats the default root psw?
[16:37] <generallee> for ubuntu
[16:37] <generallee> Is there any?
[16:37] <Slart> !root | generallee
[16:38] <Slart> generallee: nope.. there isn't one
[16:38] <generallee> shit
[16:38] <zeitlos> hrm
[16:38] <generallee> Ive chowned /usr/bin/*
[16:38] <ubuntu_> ubuntu book that best covers in's and out's  of installing ubuntu on new hard drive?
[16:38] <generallee> so sudo aint working ;)
[16:38] <DaZ> lawl
[16:38] <generallee> hehe
[16:38] <generallee> Its a mess
[16:38] <oCean_> aman: tvjf
[16:38] <kuna236> ouch
[16:38] <DaZ> generallee: chroot
[16:39] <generallee> chroot /ust/bin/*
[16:39] <Datawire> Well, see, so far I've been learning how networking works, but I wanted to learn Linux for a while now.
[16:39] <generallee> ?
[16:39] <LjL> generallee: ... reboot with init=/bin/sh and fix that (or whatever recovery mode there is these days)
[16:39] <Slart> generallee: boot from a live cd and fix it
[16:39] <Datawire> Figured I'd start with Ubuntu.
[16:39] <aman> oCean_, i mean to show up maximum details
[16:39] <zeitlos> cant check sfv files with gcfv, right clicked sfv file, open with gcfv.py, nothing running
[16:39] <]sober]> ubuntu_, linux for dummies works, but the pocketguide is brill for it
[16:39] <ubuntu_> thankx sober
[16:39] <LjL> generallee: have you only chown'd, or also chmod'd?
[16:40] <generallee> LjL, both
[16:40] <DaZ> eh [;
[16:40] <generallee> which gives me this when im running sudo:
[16:40] <oCean_> aman: what do you need more then the -xjvf output?
[16:40] <generallee> sudo: must be setuid root
[16:40] <zeitlos> http://code.google.com/p/gcfv/   i have those progs installed, cant help
[16:40] <generallee> LjL, if I reboot with init-/bin/sh
[16:40] <]sober]> oCean_, what would be the next level of instruction that you'd consider after the pocketguide?
[16:41] <generallee> Will networking /ssh work as well?
[16:41] <generallee> I dont have the box near me.
[16:41] <aman> oCean_, i just need to confirm that it gives the maximum details of the *.tar.bz2 archive than the other 3....:)
[16:41] <LjL> generallee: no, it won't
[16:41] <generallee> ok.
[16:41] <diabolix> is there a way to tell the installer to use vesa video?
[16:41] <oCean_> ]sober]: most likely a personal issue I guess... since one user might be more interested in only running some apps, other would want to check out some specifics
[16:41] <generallee> Thanks anyway LjL
[16:41] <fcuk112> i installed nvidia 1.90 drivers and sometimes i get white screen flashes.  in nvidia settings panel, the recovered gpu errors increases.  how do i prevent these flashes/errors from occurring?
[16:42] <fcuk112> the flashes are very intermittent.
[16:42] <generallee> Ill boot into recovery mode when i have time to travel to det DC
[16:42] <]sober]> okay oCean_ , thanks.  trying to learn via google means spending a fair amount of time sorting through sewage
[16:42] <Geoffrey2> hmmm, remove media, I get five "Generic STORAGE DEVICE" icons
[16:43] <oCean_> aman: other options are used for other actions (such as compress) or for other archives (such as .tar.gz).
[16:43] <Geoffrey2> in the Computer window....but none will open
[16:43] <plitter> hey, can anyone give me a link to the latest version of heroes of newerth?
[16:43] <aman> oCean_, thanks man for confirming me....:)
[16:43] <plitter> just got a betakey
[16:43] <Geoffrey2> shortly after I insert the media, all five dissapear again
[16:44] <yancho> is it possible to create a cron job in ubuntu live cd?
[16:44] <oCean_> ]sober]: indeed. Make your choice in what interests you most. Then you can narrow down the documentation you are looking for. For example, after desktop install, many users setup their own webserver (lamp = linux, apache, mysql and php)
[16:44] <Classic> guys, where does ubuntu store shortcuts in applicaton panel?
[16:45] <EastDallas> Classic: Right at the bottom of the Applications menu.  It's called Ubuntu Software Center
[16:45] <]sober]> oCean_, just explaining what i'd like to setup would take half an hour :)  it's icky
[16:45] <Classic> EastDallas, i meant on harddrive
[16:45] <diabolix> Classic, its not really a folder of shortcuts. its a configuration file that gnome reads.
[16:46] <Classic> diabolix, just i uninstalled wine, and i still have shortcuts for it..
[16:46] <EastDallas> Classic:  I misunderstood.  The software center used to be called the "ubuntu store"
[16:46] <EastDallas> Classic:  Do you want to add something?
[16:46] <Classic> EastDallas, no, i need to remove links to wine that is uninstalled
[16:46] <plitter> someone playing heroes of newerth with ubuntu 9.10?
[16:47] <EastDallas> Classic: Right click on the word 'Applications' and choose Edit Menus
[16:47] <]sober]> Classic, if you rightclick on applications and go to edit...
[16:47] <ubuntu_> ubuntu picks up my wireless quick. is there any other distro that is that quick? i am thinkin of dual boot.
[16:47] <]sober]> EastDallas > ]sober]
[16:47] <Classic> :)
[16:47] <EastDallas> lol
[16:47] <]sober]> i blame lag.
[16:48] <Classic> EastDallas, ]sober] once a nub, always a nub
[16:48] <Classic> thanks
[16:48] <]sober]> Classic, it's ok.  often it seems that there's intuitive answers that i don't find until i'm waist deep in conf files
[16:48] <Classic> cuz i was searching hdd for wine*.desktop
[16:48] <Classic> yes
[16:49] <fahadsadah> Some people like being waste-deep in configs
[16:49] <fahadsadah> I do.
[16:49] <Diverdude> how do i reset firefox?
[16:49] <Classic> :)
[16:49] <]sober]> fahadsadah, there's medication available for people like you. :P
[16:49] <fahadsadah> (then again, that's part of why I don't like Ubuntu)
[16:49] <Classic> Diverdude, delete ~/.firefox
[16:49] <nigelcourtney> Hello, anyone clued up on HP DL servers?
[16:50] <fahadsadah> !anyone | nigelcourtney
[16:50] <aman> oCean_, can we check path of all users???
[16:50] <nigelcourtney> Ok, sorry, I need some help with devices on a HP DL740, My problem is to do with Hardware conflict?
[16:50] <EastDallas> Diverdude: You can create a new profile.
[16:51] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, what hardware is conflicting, how did you suss that it''s a conflict, and what are you trying to attain as a goal?
[16:51] <fahadsadah> nigelcourtney: Please can you describe your exact problem?
[16:51] <EastDallas> Diverdude:  Is that what you want to do, or is there a certain problem you are trying to fix?
[16:51] <EastDallas> Diverdude: New Profile=starting from scratch
[16:52] <Diverdude> EastDallas, well....somehow a page is saved as a bookmark, but i dont find it in the bookmarks, and i want to delete it
[16:52] <Diverdude> EastDallas, how do i make a new profile?
[16:52] <Kwpolska> diverdude, oh, f**k, firefox, am i right/
[16:52] <lazydragoon> someone know how to put cedega shorcut in the desktop ?
[16:52] <fahadsadah> Diverdude: Delete the hidden folder called .firefox in your home directory
[16:52] <]sober]> Diverdude, go to that site and click the yellow star at the far right of the bar?
[16:52] <fahadsadah> !language | Kwpolska
[16:52] <Kwpolska> Diverdude: do not delete
[16:53] <diabolix> you can just delete the .mozilla or .firefox directory, or whatever it is.
[16:53] <Xcerca> hey,  how do you know in GRUB which partition is which  ,  like if i know /dev/sdb1   is Windows 7  , how do i put it in menu.lst to boot windows 7 ?
[16:53] <Classic> :)
[16:53] <nigelcourtney> not sure this is the right forum as you guys are all ubuntu fans. It's just last time I was here I found that people were helpfull with my problem
[16:53] <Kwpolska> diverdude: go to bookmarks management in bookmarks menu
[16:53] <EastDallas> Diverdude: Searching for a link a link
[16:53] <Kwpolska> diverdude: select unassigned bookmarks
[16:53] <Kwpolska> and move it
[16:53] <Diverdude> hmm
[16:53] <Classic> ok... if you delete ~/.firefox you will lose your current history, bookmarks, etc.. but at least you will have a fresh firefox profile
[16:53] <]sober]> nigelcourtney,  fans might be a strong word.  trying to learn, perhaps....
[16:53] <nigelcourtney> basically I dont know were else to look as the HP proliant forum has no help
[16:54] <Kwpolska> it's unneeded
[16:54] <EastDallas> Diverdude: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
[16:55] <nigelcourtney> Well, I need help, basically I have a great server, everything works except the video card, and presently I am running windows 2003. I did download ubuntu but it didnt give me gui and I need one as it needs to accessed by famqily
[16:55] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, single video card in it?  do you get a login screen only?
[16:56] <diabolix> nigelcourtney, the ubuntu server version is for people who don't wan't/need a gui. you probably just want the normal version of ubuntu. the only difference is what comes pre-installed.
[16:56] <EastDallas> Diverdude: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
[16:56] <Diverdude> EastDallas, ahhh yes i got it deleted thx
[16:56] <makobi> klk
[16:56] <nigelcourtney> no I get functionality, be it very slow. There is a second ( onboard ) card which is disabled, so I can see a screen but very slow, when I go to device manager it comes up "code 12" not enough resources
[16:57] <nigelcourtney> would the normal version of ubuntu handle 8xxeons ? if it did great !, I do like it and use it regularly
[16:57] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, disabled where?  suggest ensuring that it's disabled in the bios proper
[16:57] <nigelcourtney> there is an on board switch to disable it,
[16:58] <diabolix> nigelcourtney, yes. its the same operating system, its just that one version comes with a server, and the other comes with a gui.
[16:58] <aman> oCean_, u there?
[16:58] <yancho> is it possible to create a cron job in ubuntu live cd? if yes can someone please provide some info .. crontab fails on me
[16:58] <Kwpolska> yancho: it is.
[16:58] <Kwpolska> does*
[16:58] <nigelcourtney> interesting........... so...... it can handle multiple processors *8 and the ram (10gb) yeah?, fantastic !
[16:58] <Diverdude> I must say....Obama is really something...I admire that man!
[16:59] <yancho> Kwpolska: any tips how i should do it please?
[16:59] <aman> cananyone tell me,, when we check permission of a file it shows owner of the file in 3rd column but what corresponds to 4th column.???
[16:59] <diabolix> nigelcourtney, you probably want the 64 bit version, but yes. its the same kernel in both oses.
[16:59] <nigelcourtney> ]sober] no there are no options to disable the video card in bios , justt a hardware switch
[16:59] <Kwpolska> yancho: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cron or http://lmgtfy.com/?q=crontab
[16:59] <oCean_> aman: yes, I'm here. 4th column is (user-) group
[16:59] <nigelcourtney> diablolix, can I just check, I know my cpus are 32bit so still install 64bit os?
[17:00] <LjL> Kwpolska: that's not useful.
[17:00] <diabolix> nigelcourtney, xeons are 64 bit.
[17:00] <nigelcourtney> diablolix, bus is 64 bit
[17:00] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, you're primarily trying to get it work within win03, with linux as a trial to fix it, if i'm understanding right
[17:00] <nigelcourtney> oh
[17:00] <aman> oCean_, how can we change that?? if we want to?
[17:00] <Kwpolska> LJL: google is our friend.
[17:00] <LjL> !google | Kwpolska
[17:00] <diabolix> nigelcourtney, you wouldn't be able to use 10GB of ram if they weren't.
[17:00] <oCean_> aman: have a read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[17:00] <yancho> Kwpolska: i searched .. and i know how to use cron .. the problem is that on the live cd its like its not saving or something .. when i open crontab it comes as if its opening something and hangs
[17:00] <nigelcourtney> ]sober] yes but there is nothing to stop me moving over to linux perminantly
[17:00] <Templar_Xion> What command can you use to determine how many physical RAM DIMMs you haveo n yoru system?
[17:01] <LjL> yancho: you mean the system-wide crontab in /etc/crontab, or your user's?
[17:01] <Templar_Xion> Including unused slots.
[17:01] <nigelcourtney> diablix, I thought that was the  physical address extension that did that?
[17:01] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, i actually had a recent problem that was similar, but it was a heat issue.  found two burst caps on the video card and a dead fan.  ymmv on that though
[17:01] <M1TE5H> aman: The 4th is group permission details
[17:01] <yancho> LjL: since im in a livecd .. i am on the systemwide .. sudo crontab i did
[17:01] <LjL> yancho: "sudo crontab" edits root's crontab, which is *not* the same as the systemwide /etc/crontab
[17:01] <aman> oCean_, M1TE5H thanks...:)
[17:02] <nigelcourtney> right, ok well I am going to install ubuntu 9.10 on it, see what it can and cannot do,
[17:02] <LjL> yancho: have you tried "crontab" without sudo (you might need root privileges for what you're doing, i don't know, but just to troubleshoot)
[17:02] <M1TE5H> aman: by default in ubuntu same group name as you are login name
[17:02] <LjL> yacc: "crontab -e", that is
[17:02] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, you could try using ubuntu (normal version) from a liveCD first (or from usb, whatever)
[17:02] <LjL> yancho: "crontab -e", that is
[17:02] <aman> M1TE5H, can we change that?
[17:02] <nigelcourtney> yeah I do have a live cd
[17:02] <linduxed> does the normal installer for karmic have options for drive/home encryption, or will i have to get the alternate installer for that?
[17:02] <oCean_> Templar_Xion: I think "sudo lshw -C memory" will show that
[17:02] <yancho> LjL: great now im in the menu to choose the editor
[17:02] <om26er> linduxed, yes it have
[17:03] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, that'd be my suggestion to start out with
[17:03] <nigelcourtney> right booting up the beast now
[17:03] <Templar_Xion> oCean_, looks like I have 2 banks... Thank you. :)
[17:05] <Segaja> hi, was SLiM removed from the repositories of karmic?
[17:06] <diabolix> I had less trouble installing ubuntu than win7. altho I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
[17:06] <fahadsadah> Segaja: Yes, but it is in lucid (10.04)
[17:07] <nigelcourtney>  diablix , I think It may be an install job rather  than live cd as the system hangs on selecting that option
[17:07] <linduxed> om26er: ok thx
[17:07] <Segaja> fahadsadah: hm, but atm i'm on 9.10 and i would like to use it
[17:07] <fahadsadah> i386 or amd64?
[17:08] <yancho> LjL: i want to cp the contents of a mounted cifs .. but mount is not showing the path where it mountd it so i can use it in the cp which im putting in the cron job
[17:08] <Segaja> ubuntu 9.10 32bit
[17:08] <fahadsadah> Segaja: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/slim/slim_1.3.1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
[17:08] <diabolix> whoa, I like the new theme. they finally changed it.
[17:08] <Segaja> thanks
[17:08] <LjL> yancho: uh, are you sure it's mounted, if 'mount' is not showing it...?
[17:08] <]sober]> i have a non-problem question.  why not use debian instead of ubuntu?
[17:09] <g0nz0|Boston> !ot | ]sober]
[17:09] <fahadsadah> ]sober]: Many reasons
[17:09] <LjL> yancho: keep in mind that being able to browse it in GNOME doesn't mean it's mounted - GNOME has its own thing for connecting to CIFS
[17:09] <fahadsadah> The community, the support, the ease-of-use
[17:09] <yancho> LjL: ow i see .. coz its connected to gnome
[17:09] <nigelcourtney> out of interest, do many people put ubuntu onto proliants?
[17:10] <LjL> yancho: you need to issue a mount command manually to actually have it mounted. like, sudo mount //server/share /mnt/blah -o username=blah
[17:10] <xayon> Hi there duedes, I'm remastering a ubuntu iso on wich for lots of reasons I had to delete fast user switcher applet package. How can I remove it (from a script) from panel config?
[17:11] <nigelcourtney> ah, I have a proper ubuntu error now, (EE) NV(0) No valid FB address in PCI config space
[17:11] <LjL> xayon: why from a script? i'm not familiar with that, but couldn't you just modify the defaults package that has the panel config?
[17:11] <eaglestar> hi i have a roblem with my ubuntu it says init mountall process 294 terminated with status 127 i have no idea what this means any help?
[17:12] <xayon> LjL: what?
[17:12] <xayon> "defaults package that has the panel config"?
[17:12] <Kwpolska> leave.
[17:13] <eaglestar> can anyone help me please
[17:13] <nigelcourtney> Anyone?
[17:13] <mMezquitale> !dnscache
[17:14] <LjL> !info kubuntu-default-settings | xayon ehm, like this.. i'm not sure what's the equivalent for ubuntu though
[17:14] <fahadsadah> eaglestar: Are there any other error messages accompanying that one, or is it alone?
[17:14] <LjL> xayon: but i'm just saying, while not knowing the specific - there has to be *some* package that contains the config file where the panel is configured. so couldn't you just ship your CD with a modified version of that package?
[17:14] <texas319> let me get yalls take ..... KDE vs GNOME
[17:14] <mMezquitale> !grub2
[17:15] <]sober]> gnome.  anyhow....
[17:15] <LjL> !poll | texas319
[17:15] <mMezquitale> !forum > mMezquitale
[17:15] <eaglestar> fahadsadah says mountall proess terminated
[17:15] <wolter> Can somebody help me reset pulseaudio to the state it was when i first installed karmic?
[17:16] <xayon> LjL: not a cd, a pen, so it's easyer. I don't need to do such a thing ;). The problem is I can't find where it's configured
[17:16] <fahadsadah> eaglestar: Have you recently made any changes?
[17:16] <xayon> and when removing the package... the config still there so I have to suppose they've put that in default gnome-panel stuff
[17:16] <xayon> and I don't like it (ion3 user here :D)
[17:17] <eaglestar> yes i did an update and now it doesnt work
[17:17] <LjL> xayon: uhm, i see. it's probably configured by gconf... but i'm not really the best person to help you as i use kde
[17:17] <ironmanerz> has anyone ever setup an ubuntu dns server w/ dhcp to share an alltel cell dial up internet connection from a windows machine?
[17:17] <aman> do cron have a log file by default??????
[17:18] <xayon> LjL: I've found it but is a pain in the ass.
[17:18] <helloworld> .w helloworld
[17:18] <xayon> however, will work for me :)
[17:18] <aman> can anyone tell me?? do cron have a log file by default??????
[17:18] <xayon> LjL: thanks.
[17:18] <LjL> aman: it logs to syslog by default
[17:18] <nigelcourtney> right before I disapear , anyone had any experience of configuring PCI devices on a Proliant?
[17:18] <LjL> !patience | aman
[17:18] <henkpoley> After going from ext3 -> ext4 are there any tricks to get some speed improvements ?
[17:18] <LjL> xayon: where is it?
[17:18] <aman> LjL, u mean the main log file of the linux disto?
[17:18] <LjL> aman: i mean /var/log/syslog
[17:19] <eaglestar> fahadsadah: yes i did an update and now it doesnt work at all
[17:19] <amigamia1> hey is seveas still involved here? does he still work here?
[17:19] <freeride> please help with wine repository for Karmic
[17:19] <aman> LjL, ok thanks buddy, and will remain patient...:)
[17:19] <LjL> amigamia1: probably a better question for #ubuntu-irc or #ubuntu-ops
[17:19] <brenda> I am having trouble with my epson cx8400 printer in xsane. It will not detect the scanner at all.
[17:19] <fahadsadah> eaglestar: I'm sorry, I don't know.
[17:19] <amigamia1> umm ok
[17:20] <freeride> !wine
[17:20] <LjL> amigamia1: or for seveas. he's online, you know ;)
[17:20] <amigamia1> ok ljl
[17:20] <Seveas> amigamia1, ?
[17:20] <amigamia1> hi seveas just wishing you a fun holiday etc. it's me.
[17:20] <Seveas> LjL, shh... I was hiding! :P
[17:20] <amigamia1> i only remember you seveas and bob2 who were here in the beginning basically.
[17:20] <Seveas> amigamia1, thanks! Have a fun holiday as well
[17:21] <amigamia1> i will
[17:21] <LjL> Seveas: you aren't very good at it ;(
[17:21] <mMezquitale> amigamia1, most users here are volunteers, nobody "works" here, if you have a question just go ahead and ask
[17:21] <amigamia1> you must be lagging mMezquitale
[17:22] <LjL> or not reading :)
[17:22] <mMezquitale> amigamia1, i just came back to my laptop
[17:22] <amigamia1> ahh i see senor
[17:24] <ironmanerz> has anyone ever setup an ubuntu dns server w/ dhcp to share (forward dns) an alltel cell dial up internet connection from a windows machine?
[17:25] <aman> LjL, i know that there are two files at.deny and at.allow in /etc, if at.allow doesn't exists then at.deny is checked but what if both doesn't exists?? Will i be able to run 'at' command as a root????
[17:25] <brenda> HELP! xsane will not see my scanner in 9.10. I have epson cx8400 and so far I cannot find any forum topics relating to this. I also can not print with it as it is not detected. when I run lsusb I can see every little detail about it so I know the kernel sees it.
[17:27] <LizardK|ng> i need some advise with GRUB, which isn't working.  would removing the current (windows) boot drive and making the ubuntu drive the boot drive and reinstalling GRUB have a better chance of working, or would installing GRUB2 be a better shot?
[17:27] <huggesanp> /dev/sda3 is mounted on / and /mnt. Is this a problem?
[17:28] <LjL> aman: ehm... i don't know. i honestly never used those files. but i guess they can both exist and you can have wildcards in one...
[17:29] <Segaja> hi, on older ubuntu version the startup splash screen had a progress bar, which showed how far the boot was. on ubuntu 9.10 i only see a black screen with a white ubuntu logo on it and the console box with the messages
[17:29] <EastDallas> brenda: Do you have libsane-extras installed?  (at a terminal type sudo apt-get install libsane-extras to install it)
[17:29] <brenda> EastDallas, let me double check
[17:30] <brenda> EastDallas, yes I do indeed
[17:30] <aman> LjL, actually i have read the 'man at' but there is only one condition when at.allow is not there but not the conditin when both files not there that is why i asked...:)
[17:31] <EastDallas> brenda:  To get it to print, try choosing cx7800 as the model.
[17:31] <brenda> EastDallas, where?
[17:31] <EastDallas> brenda: has the scanner ever worked?
[17:31] <brenda> EastDallas, yes it worked in version 9.04
[17:32] <brenda> EastDallas, I upgraded to 9.10 and it doesn't work at all now
[17:32] <guntbert> huggesanp: could lead to runnning in circles - how did you manage that?
[17:32] <EastDallas> Brenda: Go to System>Administration>Printing
[17:32] <brenda> EastDallas, ok one second
[17:32] <guntbert> huggesanp: could lead to running in circles - how did you manage that?
[17:32] <huggesanp> guntbert: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt when /dev/sda3 was mounted on /
[17:33] <EastDallas> Brenda: Right-Click on the printer and choose 'Properties'
[17:33] <brenda> EastDallas, my model seems to be listed there
[17:33] <brenda> EastDallas, ok
[17:33] <aman> LjL, i got the answer it work as a root if both files not there.....:)...i thought may be this info would be useful to you tooo....:P
[17:33] <EastDallas> brenda: 'make and model' click 'change'
[17:33] <guntbert> huggesanp: ok then just sudo umount /mnt
[17:33] <huggesanp> Didn't work
[17:33] <huggesanp> Device is busy
[17:34] <brenda> EastDallas, ok done...ready
[17:34] <LizardK|ng> i need some advise with GRUB, which isn't working.  would removing the current (windows) boot drive and making the ubuntu drive the boot drive and reinstalling GRUB have a better chance of working, or would installing GRUB2 be a better shot?
[17:34] <arghh2d2> Hi, does anybody know why my onboard sound is playing at ridiculously low levels even with alsamixer maxed out?
[17:34] <brenda> EastDallas, now what?
[17:34] <LjL> aman: oh if both *don't*! exist... i misread you as asking about if both *do* exist =)
[17:34] <Segaja> is that black screen the normal ubuntu 9.10 boot screen?
[17:34] <EastDallas> brenda: try changing to epson cx7800
[17:34] <aman> LjL, :P
[17:34] <guntbert> huggesanp: right - I forgot - with a reboot you should be fine (in this special case) - or did you edit your /etc/fstab ?
[17:35] <]sober]> arghh2d2, there's a couple different places where volume can be adjusted; it's also kinda a known thing that the eeepc line has little output (may not apply to your comp)
[17:35] <huggesanp> guntbert: I didn't edit my /etc/fstab
[17:35] <arghh2d2> ]sober]: ok, where else can i check besides alsamixer?
[17:36] <brenda> EastDallas, should I use a new PPD?
[17:36] <v1tal3> exit
[17:36] <guntbert> huggesanp: then a reboot will fix it - don't worry - its not urgent
[17:36] <huggesanp> Right
[17:36] <pcl0adl3tt3r> hey all
[17:36] <srdjan_> i have one problem after i upgrade mu ubuntu into 9.10. When i open .avi / .mpeg4 / .divx ..etc my picture is going to green and it is very bad quality
[17:36] <LizardK|ng> no one can help with GRUB?  swap drives or try GRUB2?
[17:36] <]sober]> arghh2d2, i'm a bad person to ask.  i think i found the answer just googling around
[17:36] <Machtin> okay guys.. why is my sound so f*cked up?
[17:37] <]sober]> arghh2d2, i had a similar problem you see
[17:37] <Machtin> i can listen to mp3s.. but they sound.. wrong.
[17:37] <pcl0adl3tt3r> I have Ubuntu 9.1 installed on an old IBM x40. It seems hulu is very choppy. Any suggestions? I am very new to ubuntu
[17:37] <Machtin> it scratches and stuff.
[17:37] <huggesanp> Can somebody confirm for me that if I have a partition mounted on / and /mnt, rebooting will ensure that the partition gets safely unmounted?
[17:37] <Machtin> and it REALLY is annoying.
[17:37] <srdjan_> can anyone help me to solve the problem with my graphic
[17:38] <ironmanerz> huggesanp: as long as you didnt edit your fstab, the mount is only temporary
[17:38] <LizardK|ng> huggesanp, yes, unless its in your fstab.  however, did you try sudo umount /mnt?
[17:38] <mMezquitale> !ask| srdjan_
[17:38] <brenda> EastDallas, Ok I did all that should I reboot now?
[17:38] <EastDallas> brenda: select printer from database
[17:38] <jelly-bean> I know ubuntu will auto mount stuff when I login at home using gdm into gnome, and then from the Places menu I click on the drive (e.g. a 320gb usb hdd in this case) then the drive appears mounted under the /media directory.  isn't there an equivalent command to do this from the cli (e.g. remotely over ssh?) so i can access those files?
[17:39] <EastDallas> brenda: no need to reboot...try and print a test page
[17:39] <LizardK|ng> jelly-bean, mount
[17:39] <jelly-bean> LizardK|ng: that requires me to know the device in /dev
[17:39] <jony_kalavera> hi
[17:39] <jelly-bean> sudo mount -a doesn't do it either
[17:39] <LlamaZorz> If I wanted to encrypt my swap and /tmp partitions, with a random new key everytime I boot, how can I go about doing that?
[17:39] <jony_kalavera> can lighthttpd be used as a transparent proxy?
[17:39] <mMezquitale> jelly-bean, im not following, do you have a hard drive permanently installed on your computer and you want to mount it remotely on another computer via ssh?
[17:40] <LizardK|ng> jelly-bean, you're right you need to know the devicename
[17:40] <jelly-bean> mMezquitale: the computer is at home and has a usb hdd connected to it, but not mounted yet. i am remoting into the machine from work using ssh, and i want access to that drive but need to mount it first.
[17:40] <jmp_> hugo, hi
[17:40] <brenda> EastDallas, ok the printer comes up in firefox print. I don't have any ink right now but what I really need to do is use the scanner. xsane still does not detect anything after changing the driver.
[17:40] <pcl0adl3tt3r> I am having very jumpy/choppy Hulu video. Not quite sure why only hulu..youtube seems fine. Any one able to assist?
[17:40] <huggesanp> LizardK|ng: I tried umount /mnt
[17:40] <jelly-bean> LizardK|ng: i am hoping ubuntu can figure it out and just mount all the drives that normally appear under the Places menu for me
[17:41] <huggesanp> Anyway thanks folks
[17:41] <huggesanp> I think I'll reboot
[17:41] <huggesanp> Bye
[17:41] <jmp_> jelly-bean, which FS do u have on this disk
[17:41] <arghh2d2> ]sober]: i didnt ask you specifically.  but thanks for trying...if you can think of those "other places" beside alsamixer to increase volume, let me know
[17:41] <mMezquitale> jelly-bean, yes, you do have to mount it, you can mount it via ssh, I suggest you add it to your fstab file so that it gets mounted automatically after every reboot though
[17:41] <seealso> Hello.
[17:41] <trism> pcl0adl3tt3r: did you enable hardware acceleration? they recently modified their player, and I had to enable it to get things to a reasonable speed
[17:41] <LizardK|ng> jelly-bean, mount -a mounts everything in fstab, and to put the drives in fstab you'd need to know the devicename
[17:41] <pcl0adl3tt3r> how do i do that
[17:41] <trism> pcl0adl3tt3r: right click on the video and go to properties, then enable acceleration
[17:41] <seealso> Since I set some configuration in nvidia-settings I cannot use the mouse.
[17:41] <jelly-bean> mMezquitale: i dont use it often enough for that :(
[17:41] <jelly-bean> what would a usb hdd device look like under /dev then? i dont see it as one of the sd[a-z][0-9] ?
[17:42] <hugo> hello please i am hugues et i news user for linux please estce que we give me help

[17:42] <eaglestar> can i use the basic cd or do i need the alternate?
[17:42] <burzki> eaglestar, why not use the mgr?
[17:42] <Kwpolska> eaglestar: alternate or do it from network
[17:42] <]sober]> arghh2d2, there's a "front" setting within the control that needs turned up?
[17:42] <jmp_> eaglestar, just use the cd , then proceed to the installation
[17:43] <mMezquitale> jelly-bean, you could write a script or a cheat note that tells you how to mount it, that way you can just login from ssh, execute your script or look at your cheat sheet, mount it then unmount it once youre done
[17:43] <pcl0adl3tt3r> trism: how do increase hardware acceleration?
[17:43] <arghh2d2> ]sober]: where is it?
[17:43] <jmp_>  eaglestar ,the basic is better
[17:43] <trism> pcl0adl3tt3r: there isn't really an increase, it is either on or off (checked or unchecked)
[17:43] <mMezquitale> !ask | hugo
[17:43] <]sober]> arghh2d2, that's what i'm digging for :)
[17:43] <pcl0adl3tt3r> where do i check that
[17:44] <seealso> Also; Which is the name some console web browser?
[17:44] <seealso> *Which are.
[17:44] <jmp_> eaglestar, then you will install like a new os, but you need to save all ur config files such as .bashrc, .vimrc in a pen drive
[17:44] <brenda> EastDallas, the printer seems to work but the scanner still does not.
[17:45] <]sober]> arghh2d2, you're using karmic yes?
[17:45] <jmp_> hugo, what is ur problem
[17:45] <eaglestar> i can't start the computer so am tring to fix it and save fles by upgrading i updated and now it doesnt run
[17:45] <EliasAmaral> how can i disable pulse audio?
[17:45] <ironmanerz> seealso: can you restore your xorg.conf?
[17:45] <trism> pcl0adl3tt3r: right click on the hulu video player, click on settings... and check the "enable hardware acceleration" box. If that doesn't work, not sure what else to try, the linux flash player is unfortunately slower than windows (it worked for me though)
[17:45] <jmp_> yes , upgrading from jaunty to koala is not quite good
[17:45] <jelly-bean> k i got the drive mounted under /media. my wife did it by clicking in Places tho for me. how can i tell which device is being used to mount a directory if i only have the path to the directory?
[17:45] <hugo> my english is not good because i speack french
[17:46] <arghh2d2> ]sober]: no, jaunty
[17:46] <pcl0adl3tt3r> trism: i tried that, it is enabled
[17:46] <pcl0adl3tt3r> guess im out of luck
[17:46] <EliasAmaral> jelly-bean, right click it and go to properties. or type mount in terminal
[17:46] <seealso> ironmanerz: By doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I am unable to use the mouse too.
[17:46] <ctmjr> !fr | hugo
[17:46] <EliasAmaral> jelly-bean, (mount will show all mounted devices)
[17:47] <jmp_> jelly-bean, you can use gnome-mount
[17:47] <hugo> et comment m'y rendre je suis nouveau j'ai  fais l'installation hier et je connais pas grande chose
[17:47] <ubuntutrepxe> jelly-bean: sudo blkid
[17:48] <LjL> hugo: ecrive /join #ubuntu-fr

[17:48] <jelly-bean> ubuntutrepxe: /dev/sdc2 got it thnx
[17:49] <]sober]> arghh2d2, couple questions:  using nvidia v-card?  what sound card (onboard ac97?)
[17:49] <burzki> LjL, ecrive ? ="type" ?
[17:49] <jelly-bean> jmp_: what does gnome-mount do?
[17:49] <ubuntutrepxe> jelly-bean: no problem :)
[17:49] <seealso> How can I quit a channel with Irssi?
[17:49] <jmp_> jelly-bean, just mount drive
[17:49] <ironmanerz> seealso: what does it show under the xorg.conf mouse section?
[17:49] <LjL> burzki: "write"
[17:49] <EastDallas> brenda: what error do you get when you try to scan?
[17:50] <jelly-bean> jmp_: k ill try it next time. thnx all
[17:50] <LjL> burzki: but if it's anything like italian, it also covers the english usage of "type"
[17:50] <burzki> LjL, i learned some french ;-)
[17:50] <nickkontos> hello, here's a challenge: how can i copy my ubuntu system in a new drive?
[17:50] <brenda> EastDallas, When I launch xsane it says no devices detected.
[17:50] <seealso> itonmanerz: Wait, I will tell you, I am in console mode.
[17:50] <EastDallas> brenda: btw..I'm getting ready to leave, so I'll only be able towork on this for a few more minutes
[17:50] <brenda> ok
[17:50] <nohup> good afternoon all
[17:51] <hugo> i like english and i apprend the english
[17:51] <seealso> I will go to GUI mode and come back again.
[17:51] <hugo> please help me
[17:51] <nohup> does anybody know an ubuntu package for a network analyser (that supports multiple interfaces) like ntop.. but one that doesn't depend on x11? (why on earth does it depend on that anyways?)
[17:51] <jmp_> hugo , connecte toi sur #ubuntu-fr
[17:51] <ubuntutrepxe> nohup: iftop
[17:51] <EliasAmaral> hugo, this channel is for those that have english as a second language too
[17:52] <EliasAmaral> in fact i usually talk in #ubuntu-br but sometimes it's dead :( 30x less people than here
[17:52] <burzki> nickkontos, been working on that too.  havent tried it, but chack http://clonezilla.org/
[17:52] <nohup> ubuntutrepxe: does that one serve stats over http ?
[17:52] <EliasAmaral> in fact this reminds me my question: there is any way of getting rid of pulseaudio?
[17:52] <ubuntutrepxe> nohup: it shows you all connections on a specified interface
[17:53] <EliasAmaral> i just can't kill it, but i heard there is a way
[17:53] <ctmjr> hugo: if you speak english just state your problem and if someone knows the answer they will help you
[17:53] <nohup> ubuntutrepxe: i see... but i'm looking for something with stats served over http, like ntop can...
[17:53] <nohup> but it's a server with minimal disk space, so i can't go and install x11 on it :)
[17:53] <EliasAmaral> it is maybe the largest breakage of ubuntu history, if you folks let me add, :(
[17:54] <jmp_> hugo, t'es là
[17:54] <Salva1> Hello.
[17:54] <Salva1> I was see also.
[17:54] <Salva1> Seealso.
[17:55] <LlamaZorz> With a fresh Ubuntu Install, what are the two extra extended partitions for
[17:55] <LlamaZorz> /dev/sda1   *           1        1824    14651248+  83  Linux
[17:55] <LlamaZorz> /dev/sda2            8666        9039     3004155    5  Extended
[17:55] <LlamaZorz> /dev/sda3            1825        8665    54950332+  83  Linux
[17:55] <LlamaZorz> /dev/sda5            8666        9039     3004123+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
[17:55] <FloodBot4> LlamaZorz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:55] <]sober]> ok
[17:55] <matteo1990> Hi all, i am having problems with Cdrom in Ubuntu 9.04, if i click on the cd-rom0 icon under Places i get this error message http://pastebin.com/mbc01f7b i have tried to mount it manually but i got this error ( block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only). Any tips?
[17:55] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, extended is a container partition
[17:55] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, it contains other partitions (that are called logical)
[17:56] <LlamaZorz> But what is it for?
[17:56] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, swap is a extension of ram (very useful, windows does this usually by a paging file)
[17:56] <genii> matteo1990: Thats not an error. It can only mount read-only media in read-only
[17:56] <EastDallas> brenda: I wasn't able to find anything that I thought might be helpful.  Other than this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/314364.  If no one else here can be of help, you might want to post your problem at ubuntuforums.org.  sorry :(
[17:56] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, it justs sums up all your logical partitions (that begin in /dev/sda5 and goes to /dev/sdaXX)
[17:56] <Hilikus> hey guys. ubuntu server is offering to create an LVM partition, is this standard also for ubuntu desktop?
[17:56] <eaglestar> anyone near dc can tell me which mirror is fastest i am on windows computer
[17:56] <Hilikus> this is during installation of course
[17:57] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, the standard layout of partitions puts a constraint of 4 partitions per hd. you can have up to 256 logical partitions inside a extended one
[17:57] <piotras8> siema
[17:57] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, partitions outside the extended partition are called physical
[17:57] <EastDallas> eaglestar: download via torrent
[17:57] <LlamaZorz> Ok, But I only have 3 physical partitions
[17:57] <piotras8> jest ktos z polski?
[17:57] <arand> LlamaZorz: and also when you hibernate the system, all the memory get put in swap in a "frozen state"...
[17:57] <zanberdo> ubuntu 8.04 server - I have created my own grub splash image which loads just fine. However, no matter what changes I make to the COLOR setting in menu.lst the colors are never applied. Is this a know issue and if so is there a work around?
[17:58] <OerHeks> Hilikus LVM is nice, EXT3 is nicer and EXT4 is available too
[17:58] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, you could reorder your partitions but it would save you no data
[17:58] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, no space i mean
[17:59] <LlamaZorz> sda1 is my root, sda3 is my home and sda5 is my swap, I just dont get what the sda2 does/
[17:59] <zanberdo> Hilikus, LVM is not a filesystem per se', but a partition manager
[17:59] <matteo1990> Hi all, i am having problems with Cdrom in Ubuntu 9.04, if i click on the cd-rom0 icon under Places i get this error message http://pastebin.com/mbc01f7b i have tried to mount it manually but i got this error ( block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only). Any tips?
[17:59] <Hilikus> my question is, if i go with LVM and inside it say i create 2 ext4 partitions, one for / and one for /home, and by accident i remove the first one, what would happend with /home, since the "outter" partition is LVM and i just removed a chunk of it
[17:59] <vladinho> hello everyone ;) i've got a question (problem actually) ... I want to run an app. on Wine in ubuntu karmic, but it shows up an error saying "Due to securty reasons...blabla...turn off system debuggers.." ... does anyone know how to fix this?
[18:00] <PineappleClock> does the remote desktop feature in 9.10 just not work, I havent been able to get it to work at all
[18:00] <LizardK|ng> i can't install GRUB2, apt-get tells me "E: package grub2 has no installation candidate"
[18:00] <cap> How do we tell what video driver is in use when xorg.conf does not exist?
[18:00] <aman> LjL, is syslogd daemon manages most of the system logs on the machine??????
[18:00] <ironmanerz> has anyone ever setup an ubuntu dns server w/ dhcp to share (by forwarding dns) an alltel cell dial up internet connection from a windows machine?
[18:00] <LjL> aman: yes
[18:00] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, it is a set of partitions that contains just one, /dev/sda5
[18:00] <zeitlos> whats a proper cdda ripper like eac?
[18:00] <zanberdo> Hilikus, nothing. you would have removed the root partition, which of course will make the system unbootable, but the home partition would remain. It will of course depend on LVM remaining in tact
[18:00] <Hilikus> ZeiP: cdparanoia
[18:01] <aman> LjL, wat about anacron and kerneld??
[18:01] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz,  that's because you actually have just 3 partitions: sda1, sda2, sda3. sda5 (and, if you add sda6, sda7, sda8...) is/are inside sda2
[18:01] <arand> LlamaZorz: I am not completely sure either, but I know that ubuntu does like to create extended partitions to put the swap partition in, In some cases it might be convenient becasue of the 4-primary limit, but sometimes it just does, in practice I don't think it does much difference..
[18:01] <LjL> aman: what about them?
[18:01] <LlamaZorz> So you are saying that sda5 is a logical partition, and since I was about to make the 4th partitions sda5, the installer said its a better idea to made sda2 as a extended to hold extra logicals in the future?
[18:01] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, don't worry about this, your partition table is just fine. (i would worry about the sda3 coming before sda2, but maybe because i am too perfectionist)
[18:01] <joshjtl> hey folks updating apt, and am getting some repos not found, but those listed as not found are not in sources.list, where else would they be? I think I may have added some incorrect ones with add-apt-repository...
[18:02] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, yes, i think so
[18:02] <LjL> joshjtl: they'd be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[18:02] <OerHeks> Hilikus your '/home' partition will remain, and can be re-mounted in a new installation
[18:02] <vladinho> hello everyone ;) i've got a question (problem actually) ... I want to run an app. on Wine in ubuntu karmic, but it shows up an error saying "Due to securty reasons...blabla...turn off system debuggers.." ... does anyone know how to fix this???? please i tried alot of forums with no luck :(
[18:02] <aman> LjL, i mean i want to ask they are less in use than syslogd??
[18:02] <zanberdo> Hilikus, technically, if you have a boot part that is not wrapped in lvm then the system wouldn't strictly speaking be unbootable, but unusable as you wouldn't have a mounted root part, but that's a triviality and I think you question has more to do with how deleting one partition effects another.
[18:02] <Hilikus> zanberdo: how will it remain intact? i actually had that problem (or similar) i had a partition that extended two physical areas and from windows i formatted one of the two into NTFS (so LVM was screwed now) and AFAIK the LVM metadata was lost so all the data was lost, even in the untouched part
[18:02] <joshjtl> LjL: so i just need to look through all of those?
[18:03] <LjL> aman: anacron is not for storing logs, and i don't know what kerneld is
[18:03] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, if you worry about tables you might want to save this output on a file on a pen drive or similar, in the case of it being damaged
[18:03] <vladinho> this is the actual error msg: For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again.
[18:03] <vladinho> anyone? ;)
[18:03] <zanberdo> Hilikus, if I understand your situation correctly: LVM remains intact but you've deleted a specific partition within the LVM container, yes? So, with LVM remaining intact the other partition (/home in your example) should remain unhindered
[18:03] <sburwood> Just purchased a usb slide scanner. Brand = Zolid. Model 50643. It isn't recognized by 9.10.  I need to do what to make it function?
[18:03] <LlamaZorz> Im in the process of learning how to encrypt file-systems, and was just interested in what it was,
[18:03] <grawity> vladinho: Maybe it thinks Wine is a debugger?
[18:03] <phil> hey guys, I'm having some problems with usb bus resets in jaunty - did anybody else experience such problems? my usb disk are going to sleep and about every 30 minutes an usb bus reset wakes them up.
[18:03] <aman> LjL, oh ok  no problem i m googling too and will let you know if got any answer....:)
[18:03] <grawity> vladinho: What program is that?
[18:03] <Hilikus> zanberdo: actually no, i think LVM was not intact, only a PART of it was intact
[18:03] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, and maybe a metadata image of the filesystem if it get on a state that fsck wouldn't recover (but then you might want to make weekly or monthly images)
[18:04] <vladinho> grawity: i don't know..i'm kinda noob with wine and linux
[18:04] <vladinho> grawity: 2 programs actually...gives me the same error
[18:04] <lvzlife> Hi
[18:04] <vladinho> grawity: a very simple win game
[18:04] <lvzlife> anyone chat with me
[18:04] <mMezquitale> LlamaZorz, encrypting basically makes your data look like random data unless it is unencrypted using whatever password you desire
[18:04] <Hilikus> so that's my concern, in LVM it seams because its all "virtual", if you destroy a part of it, it even destroys the untouched part of it indirectly, is this not right?
[18:05] <vladinho> grawity: and a dictionary
[18:05] <sburwood> I was invited to go to unisupport.net but it is in Dutch and tells me it only works on Windows
[18:05] <srdjan> please give the commant to login as root
[18:05] <cap> lvzlife: Sure, (we all are).
[18:05] <sburwood> sudo
[18:05] <zanberdo> Hilikus, lvm creates physical volumes that then permit the creation of logical volumes that then permit you to partition the logical volumes however you choose. if you did not touch the physical or logical volumes and only removed a partition created within a logical volume, then LVM should not be effected, just the partition in question.
[18:05] <grawity> srdjan: For a single command, use "sudo <command>"
[18:05] <vladinho> grawity: any idea? ;)
[18:06] <cap> How does one discover which video driver is in use?
[18:06] <sburwood> anyone wanna help me with my slide scanner?
[18:06] <grawity> srdjan: For a root shell, read the manpage of 'sudo'.
[18:06] <cap> sburwood: We'll try...
[18:06] <PineappleClock> in order to disable compiz on 9.10, what do you have to do? There's three settings in "Appearance" none, medium and high. Is None the only one that turns it off?
[18:06] <zanberdo> Hilikus, for instance, I use LVM to create two physical volumes for my netbook: a 4GB PV and a 16 GB PV which I then created a single LV of 20GB which I further partitions (and encrypted) for my file system. if I were to delete say sda5 (as an example), LVM would be unaffected, just the partition I removed.
[18:07] <cap> sburwood: Here's how it works.  You ask questions, someone who knows will try and answer.
[18:07] <mMezquitale> sburwood, have you tried scanning using applications in ubuntu?
[18:07] <Hilikus> zanberdo: well, i guess i did touch the physical volume, windows doesn't know about lvm so i guess it formatted the PHYSICAL volume. i had 2 physical volumes that i made into 1 logical volume. but for argument's sake assume each physical volume was a logical volume. if the first PHYSICAL volume is destroyed, will the second one die too? i thought so because the metadata is lost as well
[18:07] <zanberdo> Hilikus, I missed a step, I created another PV out of the two PV's, which allowed for a single PV to create the LV from ... but that's a triffle
[18:07] <sburwood> My wife and I have slides that we want to digitalize the slides and put them on a cd. It isn't recognized
[18:08] <cap> sburwood: What isn't recognized?
[18:08] <phil> hey guys, I'm having some problems with usb bus resets in jaunty - did anybody else experience such problems? my usb disk are going to sleep and about every 30 minutes an usb bus reset wakes them up.
[18:08] <sburwood> mMezquiltale I used xsane, but it doesn't find the scanner
[18:08] <cap> sburwood: What is the make and model of your scanner?
[18:08] <zanberdo> Hilikus, your mixing windows into the equation takes me out of my depth. But based on your description if you mangled a PV it's dependent LV will be disrupted.
[18:08] <mMezquitale> sburwood, have you tried scanning using applications in ubuntu?  My HP scanner worked without a problem and I didnt know how to scan, all I had to do was hook it up and install an application, the application found the application just fine
[18:08] <matteo1990> Hi all, i am having problems with Cdrom in Ubuntu 9.04, if i click on the cd-rom0 icon under Places i get this error message http://pastebin.com/mbc01f7b i have tried to mount it manually but i got this error ( block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only). Any tips?
[18:09] <sburwood> cap One the box, it says Zolid
[18:09] <sburwood> mM, I used xsane
[18:09] <laclasse> matteo1990, read only is not an error, only a message
[18:09] <LlamaZorz> EliasAmaral, mMezquitale, I understand what the encryption does, I just wanted to know if temp files were stored in /dev/sda2, the extended partition of my drive.
[18:09] <Segaja> hm, no answer is an answer...
[18:09] <sburwood> I hooked it in the USB port and the light is on
[18:09] <mMezquitale> sburwood, type the first couple of letters, then hit tab otherwise your message might not be read
[18:09] <Hilikus> zanberdo: yea, what you're saynig is removing sda5 the right way, using LVM tools. what i'm talking about is an accident, like windows formatting it, or a part of the disk just dieing. i just want to know how independent are the individual logical volumes
[18:09] <mMezquitale> !who
[18:10] <cap> sburwood: Let's look:  http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html
[18:10] <sburwood> mMezquitale: oh, I didn't see that
[18:10] <zanberdo> Hilikus, yeah, I think if your PV's are whacked you can bet the associated LV's are also whacked.
[18:10] <Segaja> hi, on older ubuntu version the startup splash screen had a progress bar, which showed how far the boot was. on ubuntu 9.10 i only see a black screen with a white ubuntu logo on it and the console box with the messages
[18:10] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, the ones from /tmp ? by default they will be stored in / without encryption (i may be mistaken)
[18:10] <Segaja> is that black screen the normal ubuntu 9.10 boot screen?
[18:10] <laclasse> matteo1990, no priv messages please, in the channel
[18:10] <froes_> hi i have just made a fresh install of ubuntu jaunty and upgraded to karmic. i cant seem to find fsck.ntfs, what should i do ?????
[18:10] <burzki> cap, lspci -v should detail all that out - video drivers
[18:11] <zanberdo> Hilikus, I'm curious how windows got into the mix. Did you attempt to install windows after you'd already installed linux?
[18:11] <matteo1990> >laclasse mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[18:11] <matteo1990> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[18:11] <LlamaZorz> EliasAmaral, well from /tmp and was the virtual address space in the swap.
[18:11] <cap> sburwood: Does lsusb tell you anything.
[18:11] <mMezquitale> sburwood, there's a chance your scanner is not supported by the software, if you want to find out if ubuntu can recognize your scanner post the results to pastebin using "lspci -v" in a terminal
[18:11] <nerdy_kid_> hi all, ive tried emailing with mail -s, but the messages get stuck in gmails spam folder.  Anyway to change the from email address to something other then my pc name so maybe this will get fixed?
[18:11] <laclasse> matteo1990, thats is fine, not an error.
[18:11] <EliasAmaral> LlamaZorz, /tmp is a ram disk when you install ubuntu?
[18:12] <matteo1990> Ok, i have understand that this is not an error message but i can't open my cd XD
[18:12] <vladinho> hello everyone ;) i've got a question (problem actually) ... I want to run an app. on Wine in ubuntu karmic, but it shows up an error saying "Due to securty reasons...blabla...turn off system debuggers.." ... does anyone know how to fix this???? please i tried alot of forums with no luck :(
[18:12] <vladinho> this is the actual error msg: For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again.
[18:12] <vladinho> anyone? =)
[18:12] <laclasse> matteo1990, all cdroms  (apart cd+rw / dvd+rw ) are 'read only'
[18:12] <kjele> vladinho: What program?
[18:12] <Pici> vladinho: The best place to ask for application issues under wine is in #winehq, you should also check out the !appdb
[18:13] <laclasse> matteo1990, how was the cdrom orginally burn? which OS? What is on it?
[18:13] <vladinho> Pici: tnx...didn't know that
[18:13] <LlamaZorz> <EliasAmaral, not everything writes to /tmp, sometimes sensitive information is written to the swap via the vas.

[18:13] <EliasAmaral> Hmm :)
[18:13] <Hilikus> zanberdo: partially my fault, but windows also screwed up. i bought a new hdd that had no partition table so i didn't know how to create a PT from linux so i say i'll do it from windows by just telling it to format the drive. i remembered the unit appears there and when you access it it detects it's not formatted and offers to do it. so i did that but the unit that appeared in windows was not from the new drive but my LVM partition. so windows sug
[18:13] <Hilikus> gested to format it when it should have jsut detected that it was being used for something else and leave it untouched
[18:14] <nbaca> hello everybody... how do I mess with the default gdm settings when nobody is logged in? I would like my laptop to not hibernate when I close the lid at the login screen
[18:14] <zeitlos> ok got it installed
[18:14] <cap> burzki: Thank you.
[18:14] <kjele> vladinho: What is the game name?

[18:15] <laclasse> matteo1990, you want to make sure that when your burn a CD yourself, you do not forget to 'finalize' it, or it will not be mountable. Is this a burn cd or an original / factory pressed one?
[18:15] <burzki> cap, find what you were looking for?
[18:15] <aman> LjL, if suppose permissions of directory is like "drw-r--r-- shirley graphics". And i create a file under this directory then can u tell me the owner and groupname of that file????
[18:15] <marco> what's beyond light-speed bothing of 10.04 ?
[18:15] <zeitlos> any recommend interface like eac?
[18:15] <matteo1990> now it seems to work! :)
[18:15] <Pici> !lucid | marco
[18:15] <matteo1990> it was a problem with the cd
[18:15] <laclasse> matteo1990, glad to hear. enjoy
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> nbaca:  its possible those settings may be controlled by settings in the 'gdm' users home  - at least some settings are tweakable by running th eproper config tools as the gdm user
[18:16] <sburwood> what is the exact site for pastebin?
[18:16] <matteo1990> how to answer to you like you do with me? (i mean with the yellow name on the left)
[18:16] <LjL> aman: the owner will be shirley, since that's the only one allowed to write to the directory, but the group could be anything (probably shirley again)
[18:16] <sburwood> mMezquitale: what is the pastebin site?
[18:16] <cap> sburwood: to share information
[18:16] <Hilikus> zanberdo: basically, windows thought it was unassigned space when in reality it was an LVM type partition
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> matteo1990:  we dont.. Your irc client highlights lines with your nick in them
[18:16] <sburwood> cap I know that
[18:16] <lvzlife> Hello
[18:16] <cap> sburwood: There are several.
[18:16] <nbaca> Dr_Willis: I tried running gconf-editor as gdm but there were no settings available... tried as root too but no change
[18:17] <aman> LjL, wat if permission are "rwxr-sr-x"
[18:17] <cap> sburwood: It is easiest to use pastebinit
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> nbaca:  it wouldent be as root. it would be as gdm.  Other then that. Not sure how else to tweak them.
[18:17] <null_x86> hey anyone know how to get aircrack-ng to work with iwi4965?

[18:17] <mMezquitale> !paste | sburwood
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> sburwood:  install/use the pastebinit command is the easiest way
[18:18] <cap> burzki: Yes, using agpgart-intel
[18:18] <LjL> aman: then the group would be "graphics"
[18:18] <Hydrosis> After Karmic install, FireFox opens .cbz files with Document Viewer instead of Comix the comic book viewer.  How do I fix that?
[18:18] <null_x86> hydrosis: open preferences, and change the .cbz to the appropiate application
[18:18] <aman> LjL, actually i m confused with that 's' in the permissions. Is it a sticky bit?
[18:19] <Segaja> Hydrosis: in the firefox preferences att the application tab
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> Hydrosis:  perhaps set the 'openwith' setting for .cbz to defailt to comix, or set it where it only opens with comix

[18:20] <zeitlos> im looking for a interface like eac for cdparanoia3
[18:20] <zanberdo> Hilikus, ah, yes, well I see the problem and yes, if windows ended up reformatting any part of the lvm partition I'd guess all bets are off. You might try booting to a live CD and using the lvm tools to see if you can even see the pv's or lv's.
[18:20] <null_x86> Hydrosis: then you need to set it to open by default in Ubuntu's preferences or the apps preferences
[18:20] <Hydrosis> OK, I got it.  Thanks.
[18:21]  * null_x86 needs help!!!!
[18:21]  * zeitlos too
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> null_x86:  you may want to check the aircrack homepage/faq/foruimns for what chipset it supports
[18:21] <null_x86> ok
[18:21] <zanberdo> Hilikus, If you can see the lv which contains your home part then maybe you can recover it.
[18:21] <sburwood> mMezquitale: do you understand what the problem is?
[18:22] <zanberdo> one more try in case someone new knows: running ubuntu 8.04 server - I have created my own grub splash image which loads just fine. However, no matter what changes I make to the COLOR setting in menu.lst the colors are never applied. Is this a know issue and if so is there a work around?
[18:22] <nerdy_kid_> how do i change the from property of an email sent with linux mail?
[18:22] <null_x86> Dr_Willis: i know it supports the 3945abg and it works with my 4965agn, but i cant get anything when i try to get a key
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> null_x86:  ive no idea on aircrack.
[18:23] <null_x86> anyone have any ideas on aircrack??
[18:23] <aman> LjL, i have 4 options  the g of shirley, the o of shirley, the g of graphics, the o of graphics??? which of these applies to that ??
[18:23] <sburwood> cap: did you see the information on my slide scanner?
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> null_x86:  with some of these tools it may be therew been some bug fix's in newer verions that are not in the repos.
[18:24] <wokka> just installed karmic.  Network app is giving me some problems.  When I log in, it says it's acquiring address for auto eth0, but then fails to connect.  if I immediately click on it and select "auto eth0" it connects.  What's up with that?
[18:24] <eaglestar> can i upgrade form a live cd or shpuld i use an alternate?
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> null_x86:  thats why i suggest the aircrack homepage/forums
[18:24] <srdjan> i need gnome-terminal tutorial and all comands i am just a beginer
[18:24] <null_x86> Dr_Willis: thats where im checking
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> srdjan:  technially its 'shell commands'  gnome-terminal is just a terminal. :)
[18:24] <guntbert> zanberdo: sorry, no help from me - but a question out of curiosity: why on earth do you care about the appearance of the grub menu on a *server* ?

[18:25] <jaysern> if i used apt-get to install mysql, what is my  MYSQL_HOME ?
[18:25] <mMezquitale> sburwood, I dont believe the scanner is supported.  Dr_Willis do you believe a scanner is configured in this system?  It gets picked up by lsusb but I'm not sure about lspci -v: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d269df270
[18:25] <guntbert> !upgrade | eaglestar use network or alternate
[18:25] <nerdy_kid_> how do i change the from property of an email sent with linux mail?
[18:25] <aman> LjL, any ideas?
[18:26] <eaglestar> ok cool
[18:26] <sburwood> Dr_Willis: mMezquitale seems to thing that you could help me
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> sburwood:  if its quick. Its almost my bedtime.
[18:26] <mMezquitale> sburwood, you can also try following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/printing/C/scanning.html
[18:27] <eaglestar> after an update i can't start 9.04 due to mountall failure you think upgrading using the command line at boot woul fix this and do you know any instrucitions?
[18:27] <zanberdo> guntbert, very good question. I have created a branded splash image that our customers will see when the system reboots. It's not critical but it's a 'nice-to-have' feature. The problem is that the background color of the image is white and having white text (thankfully with black shadow or you'd see nothing at all) doesn't show up very well
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> mMezquitale:  the 'sane' homepage may have some info on specific scanners. Every scanner ive had was supported.
[18:27] <sburwood> Dr_Willis: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d269df270
[18:27] <srdjan> ok dr_willis but i use ubuntu only 3 days and i am very cofused about everything ... but i will continue with ubuntu .... Can onyone send me tutorial's tips etc
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> srdjan:  theres 1000's of sites with ubuntu tutorials and tips and training/beginner guides
[18:27] <guntbert> zanberdo: excellent reason :) - thx for sharing it
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> !training | srdjan
[18:28] <wokka> the network connections also lists "auto eth0" as last used "never" which is also odd

[18:28] <null_x86> hey whats the shell command for finding out my kernel version?

[18:29] <zeitlos> anyone down with "eac" on linux?
[18:29] <null_x86> got it already
[18:30] <mMezquitale> sburwood, I'm not sure, like I mentioned before I didnt have an issue when I used my scanner, only used it once, was intimidated at first but once I tried it I had no issue, just install the application, click on scan and it worked
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> sburwood:  the extent of my scanner ussage under linux is Plug it in.. run xsane.. it works.. :)

[18:31] <Drknzz> Hi guys! Cn anyone tell me how to scan for WiFi networks from command-line?
[18:31] <sAnta89_> Drknzz, iwlist scan
[18:31] <sAnta89_> Drknzz, I think, not sure
[18:31] <srdjan> i press ''ctrl + alt + f1'' and after that i dont know the commands
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> srdjan:  you DID try the nvidia drivers included in the ubuntu repositories first?
[18:31] <wokka> Any ideas?  I've been sifting through network manager related bugs on launchpad, but GOD is that tedious.
[18:31] <aman> LjL, my machine's is showing same owner and group
[18:31] <Drknzz> sAnta89_: TY, ill try that
[18:32] <adalal> Drknzz: yeah, jus use 'sudo iwconfig <wlan interface name> scanning'
[18:33] <Drknzz> sAnta89_ adalal TY guys, it worked, no wifi networks detected tho :/
[18:33] <adalal> Drknzz: sorry, try 'sudo iwlist <interface> scanning'
[18:33] <Hilikus> does ubuntu SERVER 9.10 also use grub2 by default?
[18:33] <nerdy_kid_> *sigh* no one use commandline emailers anymore lol
[18:33] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  i belive it does
[18:33] <Drknzz> adalal: ok
[18:33] <Hilikus> Dr_Willis: thanks
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  im not 100% sure.. but ive never heard of it being different in that area
[18:34] <Drknzz> adalal: Ty, it worked but no networks here, ;)

[18:34] <Linux4Family> are there any body to help me
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> !ask | Linux4Family
[18:35] <Linux4Family> I installed the modem, but after I installed a strange sound comes from speakers, so what is this problem resolved
[18:35] <wokka> One more shot: anyone heard of the network manager applet not connecting automatically at login? only thing set up I have is eth0. It spins and fails, but if I go to click on it and then click "auto eth0" it connects.
[18:35] <mike20_> jejeje hola
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> wokka:  this is a wired or wireless network?
[18:35] <wokka> Dr_Willis, wired
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> wokka:  that is weird.
[18:35] <nerdy_kid_> Linux4Family you installed a modem?  drivers used, and modem type please
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> wokka:  my wired is connected even befor I login.
[18:36] <Linux4Family> hsf modem
[18:36] <wokka> Dr_Willis, yep.  The first time I log in, it is actually sort of frozen on the spinning graphic.  Then the notify bubble kindly informs me that I'm not connected.
[18:36] <mMezquitale> wokka, that happens on my laptop all the time, wired I have to take eth0 down then bring it up, wireless I have to manually click on the correct network
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> wokka:  i wonder if a ifdown/ifup command in the rc.local may kick it in the head.
[18:36] <Linux4Family> Conexant
[18:37] <BasiumDeJudas> msg NickServ identify hollertz
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> BasiumDeJudas:  time to change passwords
[18:37] <Pici> BasiumDeJudas: Please change your password.
[18:37] <wokka> Dr_Willis, that's a notion.  Given that this is a work machine and will never be on anything other than eth0, it might behoove me to connect it manually
[18:37] <eaglestar> how do i do an upgrade if i can not logon to installed system?
[18:37] <BasiumDeJudas> yep
[18:37] <BasiumDeJudas> crap
[18:37] <mMezquitale> rofl so it's hollertz?
[18:37] <wokka> mMezquitale, ugh, that's annoying
[18:37] <nerdy_kid_> LInux4Family yup. did the same thing once. VERY bad experence.  id uninstall the drivers.  I gtg post on ubuntuforums and ill help
[18:37] <BasiumDeJudas> i forgot how
[18:37] <savix> hi guys, i have installed ubuntu 9.10, but i have problem with grub, my windows xp is intalled on my E drive , and i cannot find it in grub menu
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> eaglestar:  Hmm.. how are you going to login after its upgraded then?
[18:37] <sAnta89_> BasiumDeJudas, yet another example why you should identify in the server window (:
[18:38] <maco> BasiumDeJudas: /msg nickserv set password <blah>
[18:38] <savix> i searched but couldnt find menu.lst
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> savix:  grub2 is used in 9.10  - in theory rerun update-grub as root and it SHOULD see/add windows to the list
[18:38] <Linux4Family> what
[18:38] <coolcat> which of the packages listed by "apt-cache search eclipse" should I install to program in c++
[18:38] <mMezquitale> wokka, i got used to it though, plus I leave the terminal open just in case, it comes really handy, plus I already have a link to a terminal on my taskbar so it's all good, i type faster than I click
[18:38] <coolcat> ?
[18:38] <LizardK|ng> HOORAY! i got GRUB to boot (manually)
[18:38] <savix> i think my ubuntu is using grub2, how can i change  configuration to boot up with windows , my windows is on /dev/sda5
[18:38] <wokka> Dr_Willis, I DO have a bluetooth dongle, could it be checking that somehow?  I certainly don't have any other networking connections set up.
[18:38] <mMezquitale> savix, use sudo grub_update
[18:38] <eaglestar> Dr_Willis: that is my xustion i can not mount the system but wanted to use the cd as a backdoor to load it
[18:38] <savix> i did , rerun update-grub
[18:39] <BasiumDeJudas> thanks mate
[18:39] <BasiumDeJudas> changed
[18:39] <savix> but no windows has been found
[18:39] <EricJ> Soo.. Last dist-upgrade I did on Karmic found the syslog saying "bluetoothd[2484]: Parsing /etc/bluetooth/serial.conf failed: No such file or directory". Anyone got a good idea of what should be in that file?
[18:39] <savix> :(
[18:39] <BasiumDeJudas> that is the second time i have done that,
[18:39] <wokka> Ugh.  gonna have to sift through launchpad and maybe submit a bug.  Thanks all
[18:40] <mMezquitale> savix, what about sudo grub-probe and then sudo grub-update?
[18:41] <EricJ> ..Or can otherwise clue me in on what do to? :)
[18:41] <savix> even i have added this fine on /etc/grub.d/20_windows_xp
[18:41] <savix> with content of cat << EOF
[18:41] <savix> menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" {

[18:41] <savix> EOF
[18:41] <savix> sorry
[18:41] <mMezquitale> savix, your next option is to create a manual entry in 40_custom,  in /etc/grub.d/
[18:42] <savix> i did that , but still didnt go to windows, when i select to windows in grub menu, it gives me an error "invalid signature"
[18:42] <LizardK|ng> grub is pissing me off; i had to remove my windows disk to get anywhere
[18:42] <mMezquitale> savix, partitions in grub2 starts with one, so (hd0,0) could be (hd0,1), in your case try (hd0, 7)
[18:43] <LizardK|ng> i don't know if i'll ever be able to boot that windows disk again
[18:43] <savix> ok , i will try that , be right back
[18:43] <mMezquitale> LizardK|ng, are you using grub or grub2?
[18:43] <LizardK|ng> mMezquitale, grub2 now
[18:44] <LizardK|ng> mMezquitale, i spent about 6 hours yesterday trying to get grub legacy working
[18:44] <LizardK|ng> mMezquitale, and they guys in #grub don't do legacy anymore
[18:45] <mMezquitale> LizardK|ng, grub legacy is now unsupported at least you didnt have to work with the bugs in grub2
[18:45] <LizardK|ng> mMezquitale, when i say it booted, i mean i had to set root, linux and linux root, and initrd
[18:45] <savix> i will try that and will let you know , but just before that that is the file content, would u check it please? http://pastebin.com/m6bc67233
[18:45] <LizardK|ng> i mean it booted, buit not automatically
[18:45] <BasiumDeJudas> hey is there a good site for deleting programs and files or uninstalling files the correct way?
[18:45] <homezz> I install MYbooks professional but it didnt install a icon and I cant launch it can anyone help
[18:46] <guntbert> !software | BasiumDeJudas
[18:46] <savix> update-grub doesnt show anything to confirm it is added the windows
[18:46] <LizardK|ng> mMezquitale, but then it didn;t let me log in, so i'm just gonna reinstall from the cd
[18:47] <LizardK|ng> oh crap, will that use grub1 aqain?
[18:47] <BasiumDeJudas> thanks mate.
[18:47] <trism> savix: what you should actually check is /boot/grub/grub.cfg to make sure windows was added (you could have added echo "Adding Windows entry" to the start of 20_windows_xp to make sure it ran)
[18:47] <LizardK|ng> i guess it'll be ok, as now ubuntu is the first, boot, drive
[18:47] <trism> savix: also, you need to make sure 20_windows_xp is executable or update-grub won't run it
[18:47] <mMezquitale> LizardK|ng, if you want grub2 to look at your your OS's run "sudo update-grub" if that doesn't work let me know
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> Grub is just the kidn of tool ya gotta read the docs and learn about.. but then ya need to learn how hard drives and stuff works also.
[18:48] <savix> it is executable
[18:48] <LizardK|ng> mMezquitale, yes, well, i'd still need to log in for that :)
[18:48] <savix> i am ganna try that now , and will come back if i have problems
[18:48] <homezz> I install MYbooks professional but it didnt install a icon and I cant launch it can anyone help
[18:48] <savix> thanks in advance
[18:48] <trism> savix: good luck
[18:48] <LizardK|ng> Dr_Willis, yes, but it should really be only if you want to; you should have to spend two days learning about a boot loader to boot your computer
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> homezz:  find the command line command to launch it.. its also possible it added an icon but the menus dident get refreshed
[18:49] <mMezquitale> LizardK|ng, you cant log in?  my apologies I haven't been following your problem all together, thats what happens when you dont give a description of the problem in one line
[18:49] <deltaray> If I want to install KDE on Ubuntu 9.10 (not Kubuntu), do I just install the kubuntu-desktop package?
[18:49] <LizardK|ng> just like you shouldn't need to be a whiz at the os to play a game
[18:49] <jchavez> Existe algun progrmaa para descargar mp3 en linux?
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> LizardK|ng:  go get a ps3 if ya want games i guess...
[18:49] <LizardK|ng> mMezquitale, yeah, it didn;t like my username/password
[18:49] <jchavez> no me funciona el codec para convertir los flv  a mp3 :(/
[18:49] <Autie> heu?
[18:49] <homezz> DR_willis I did do a refresh it didnt show up
[18:50] <mMezquitale> !es | jchavez
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> LizardK|ng:  9.10 tossed in a lot of stuff thats 'works in progress' like grub2 and the new gdm. Hopefilly all the bug reports will make the next lts release less problematic
[18:50] <LizardK|ng> Dr_Willis, i want to learn and use ubuntu, not grub
[18:50] <ironmanerz> deltray: yup, thats the virtual package to install kde
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> homezz:  thats odd.  Check the grub2 forums/pages then. The thing even finds windows for me thats on exteranl usb hard drives
[18:50] <Alan502> Any application recommended to edit videos? similar to sony vegas
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> LizardK|ng:  did ya file a bug report on the problem?

[18:51] <LizardK|ng> Dr_Willis, no, i'm just going to reinstall
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> jarrod:  sed or bash?
[18:52] <mMezquitale> LizardK|ng, that's another issue LoL  you might want to fix that one first, ask if anyone knows how to get in to your machine if you forgot the password
[18:52] <jchavez> i have big problem i try to convert one flv file to mp3 but have problem with lliblmp3lame0.. but i have istalled  ?
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> LizardK|ng:  i do find keepiong windows on its own hd.. and linux on its own. work best.
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> LizardK|ng:  put grub on the linux hd.. then ya can always use the bios menus to boot the windows hd by itself
[18:52] <jarrod> i have asdasdasd<th>remove</th>asdasd<th>remove</th>dfkjhfg
[18:52] <LizardK|ng> Dr_Willis, i pulled out my windows hd and made linux the first hd to get as far as i have
[18:52] <blackxored> what can I use to burn bundled dvd video under gnome
[18:52] <blackxored> ???
[18:53] <sAnta89_> blackxored, Brasero?
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  i use 'devede' to convert avi to dvd video format, with menus.
[18:53] <homezz> has anyone here installed MyBooks PRO what is the executable file to get it working
[18:53] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, that's exactly what I was searching
[18:53] <blackxored> sAnta89_, thanks anyway
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  you then burn the gemerated iso with whateer tool you like.  You dont 'burn' the video to dvd. You convert the video to dvd format. :)
[18:53]  * sAnta89_ tips his hat to blackxored 
[18:53] <orangey> hello all
[18:53] <jarrod> Dr_Willis ?
[18:53] <orangey> something has gone wonky with my 64 bit adobe flash since the last update
[18:53] <orangey> any thoughts?
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> jarrod:  all i can say on sed is that theres books written on it and its ussage.. and theres hunderds of example web sites for it.
[18:54] <ZykoticK9> jchavez, an easy alternative (if you have mplayer installed) is to dump the audio to a wav using "mplayer -ao pcm FILE.flv" then just use lame to make it an MP3
[18:54] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, yes but I though about something combined such as probably k3b?
[18:54] <LizardK|ng> Dr_Willis, my bios doesn;t let me pick the hard drive i boot to
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  ive not noticved k3b havint that feature built in.. but ive not looked at it lately
[18:55] <jchavez> Zykotik9: mplayer -ao pcm file.flv  and thant use lame to convert to mp3 ?
[18:55] <jarrod> Dr_Willis i have some problem naw i have sed '/<th>.*<\/th>//'
[18:55] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, neither did I, but since always kde fans have pointed that to me, i though it had
[18:55] <trism> jarrod: you can't use .*, the regular expression is greedy, it will match everything
[18:55] <xayon> hi again, is there any way I can make an app autostart?
[18:56] <xayon> fuck, i've missed half of the question, sorry, a moment.
[18:56] <jarrod> Dr_Willis i search but i can't find remove and betwen example
[18:56] <wolter> hi, would anybody with a 64bit system and compiz give me [/usr/lib/compiz/libanimation.so] ?
[18:56] <trism> jarrod: you can use [^<]* though, that will match everything except the < before </td>
[18:56] <blackxored> xayon, System  -> Preferences -> Startup Applications
[18:56] <Pici> xayon: Please mind your language here.
[18:56] <maco> xayon: language
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:   I tend to use devede on my backjup machines. since converting a lot of videos to dvd. can take a long time. :)
[18:56] <xayon> hi again, is there any way I can make an app autostart on gnome, without access to an X-server?
[18:56] <Hilikus> does the size of /boot change based on how many kernels i have installed?
[18:56] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, I see
[18:56] <jchavez> ZykoticK9, what is sample to use lame ?
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  /boot is a directory so more kenrels in there will make it bigger yes.
[18:56] <LizardK|ng> blackxored, i use dydstyler, you can make menus too
[18:56] <jarrod> trism yes but i won alsow content of <th>...</th>
[18:57] <ZykoticK9> jchavez, "lame -h -b 128 file.wav"
[18:57] <Alan502> Any software that can record my scren?
[18:57] <Hilikus> Dr_Willis: what's a good size for /boot? i usually keep like 3 or 4 kernels at a time
[18:57] <blackxored> Alan502, recordmydesktop
[18:57] <Pici> !screencast | Alan502
[18:57] <jchavez> try now !
[18:57] <trism> jarrod: you want the output of sed for the text you posted above to be: asdasdasd<th></th>asdasd<th></th>dfkjhfg (right?)
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  i rareluy bother with a seperate /boot partition any more.
[18:57] <Alan502> Thanks :)
[18:57] <Alan502> And one for video editing?
[18:57] <jchavez> ZykoticK9, ty !
[18:58] <Hilikus> Dr_Willis: i just let ubuntu suggest my partitioning and it suggesdet LVM with a non-LVM partition
[18:58] <jarrod> trism without <th></th>
[18:58] <savix> hey guys , i am back again , when i tried that with "set root=(hd0,7)" it didnt work, well i have the option windows xp , but when i click on it , it shows me an error message "invalid signature"
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  i never use lvm.
[18:58] <blackxored> xayon, put a .desktop file under .config/autostart
[18:58] <jarrod> all betwen and with <th>
[18:58] <Hilikus> Dr_Willis: why not?
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  why should i :)
[18:58] <Hilikus> just curious to get feedback in case i should not use it
[18:58] <savix> i really dont know how to fix my MBR :(
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  i tend to just let each hd i got be its own / or /home or whatever partition.
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> !lvm
[18:59] <trism> jarrod: sed -e "s/<th>[^<]*<\/th>//g" ... this assumes there are no < between <th></th> though...if there is, it becomes more complicated
[18:59] <Hilikus> my logic was mostly, if the installer default to it i guess it's the best they can think of
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  it really has no features i need. SO i dont use it.
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> I also alwyays manually partition. :)
[18:59] <savix> because even with windows cd i cannot detect my windows which is installed on partition "E"
[18:59] <Bacta> Am I an idiot or is it really not possible to download apps through the new Ubuntu Software Centre?
[18:59] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, and you spend an hour doing it :P
[19:00] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  takes me all of.. perhaps 3 min during the install process to tell it where to mount my 6+ hard drives
[19:00] <homezz> has anyone here installed MyBooks PRO on ubuntu
[19:00] <blackxored> Bacta, nobody's an idiot, ellaborate your question
[19:00] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, yes, but what about _after_ the install?
[19:00] <jarrod> trism moment i will test this
[19:00] <Dr_Willis> savix:  last i heard of an issue like that.. there was some nasty virus on the guuys machine that had encrypted his windows drives.
[19:00] <smkis22> is anybody in there? :P
[19:00] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  what about it?
[19:01] <savix> in my case it is not virus
[19:01] <Pici> smkis22: There are over 1,400 people here.
[19:01] <Bacta> I fired up Ubuntu Software Centre in 9.10 as I've never seen it before ... It looks like Synaptic Package Manager but simpler however it only seems to show descriptions of software that can be installed but doesn't seem to offer a way of installing it
[19:01] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, how long it will take you to resize a partition ??? :P
[19:01] <jarrod> trism BRILLIENT
[19:01] <Bacta> And plenty of people have been more than willing to call me an idiot but that's mainly in #arch ;)
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  i dont. i got each hard drive as a single partition for the most part now a days.
[19:01] <jarrod> trism THX, Dr_Willis alsow Thx
[19:01] <smkis22> haha u guys just appear! :)
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  or i got a / and swap on a hd. then /home on a 2nd hd..   and rest of the hd is storage.
[19:02] <blackxored> Bacta, ubuntu software center seems like an user-friendlier synaptic, probably in the same way than MintUpdate for Linux Mint, you could find an arrow key in the right of the software that will yet you expand and install the soft you want
[19:02] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, all right, linux is about freedom, for me lvm rocks, specially for chroots :P
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> blackxored:  i rarely need to resize.  Then again i often test out different disrtos/live cd's so i want them to all be able to access all my hd/videos/whatever files also.
[19:03] <jarrod> trism, i don't anderstand why [^<]* but it's work
[19:03] <felarof> help!!!!!!!! i need rt73 dirver for karmic
[19:03] <savix> any suggestion how can i boot to windows again ?
[19:03] <savix> :(
[19:04] <smkis22> anyway,  the fonts of my computer turn into a squares after when I was installing xorg anybody knows what can I do to get back no normal?
[19:05] <diiiiiiiildy> someone messed with my menu bar yesterday, and the ubuntu icon doesn't have the word 'system' beside it, and i'm also missoing the 'places' and 'system' menu :\
[19:05] <diiiiiiiildy> how do i get them back?
[19:05] <ctmjr> !panels | diiiiiiiildy
[19:05] <diiiiiiiildy> right click -> add to panel -> ?
[19:05] <blackxored> Bacta, you saw it?
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel | diiiiiiiildy
[19:06] <trism> jarrod: [^<]* means zero or more characters that aren't the character "<", so when sed is matching, it will match <td>, then everything in between until it gets to </td>, because the first < in </td> will make it stop matching [^<]*
[19:06] <blackxored> Dr_Willis, that's true, not many distros put lvm on their livecds
[19:06] <trism> jarrod: that's why you will have problems if < appears after <td> but before </td>
[19:06] <diiiiiiiildy> brilliant
[19:06] <diiiiiiiildy> thank you Dr_Willis and ctmjr
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> bbl

[19:27] <switch10_> dayz: chmod
[19:27] <LizardK|ng> HOORAY!! i can boot into ubuntu now!  now i just need to reconfigure everything
[19:27] <MASARUwota> LSG yes
[19:27] <Scunizi> gatekeeper: you have to click the network icon on the bottom right.  From there you should be able to figure it out.
[19:27] <cutout> MASARUwota: here is what I get GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
[19:27] <cutout> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XFree86.conf to use GSynaptics
[19:27] <LizardK|ng> HOORAY!! i can boot into ubuntu now!  now i just need to reconfigure everything
[19:27] <meero_> is there a good and simple tutorial for GRUB?
[19:28] <Scunizi> !grub2 | meero_
[19:28] <MASARUwota> meero_: man grub
[19:28] <gatekeeper> i tried that and it says unavailable
[19:28] <dayz> switch10_, what arguments do i give to chmod in order to specify a group?
[19:28] <knoxy> hi all.. I'm trying to upgrade my ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10... But I get this message "No candidate ver:  linux-image-2.6.27-16-virtual" ... what is this?
[19:28] <xover> I have a DVD stuck in my drive, how do i force it out?
[19:28] <switch10_> dayz: chmod g+w filename
[19:28] <xover> pos ubuntu failing again at simple tasks
[19:28] <guntbert> knoxy: how are you trying to upgrade?
[19:28] <Scunizi> gatekeeper: yea.. it took me several times to get it to connect.. then after a reboot it didn't stick.. not sure what I did but it has stuck now..
[19:29] <meero_> MASARUwota: man grub sucks
[19:29] <cutout> anyone can help me congigure my touchpad it is not working
[19:29] <switch10_> g=group
[19:29] <switch10_> w=write
[19:29] <Scunizi> gatekeeper: I'm also running it in a virtualbox VM
[19:29] <MASARUwota> meero_: no it doesnt :/
[19:29] <mgedmin> halp!  nautilus ignores a usb flash drive I just plugged in -- dmesg says /dev/sdb1 was detected
[19:29] <gatekeeper> ok thanks i'll try a reboot
[19:29] <Scunizi> gatekeeper: but that shouldn't make a difference
[19:29] <kitche> xover: sounds like if the dvd is stuck in your dvd drive then it's not a ubuntu problem but the user or your dvd drive
[19:29] <knoxy> guntbert using 'do-release-upgrade'
[19:29] <MASARUwota> mgedmin: mount it manually
[19:29] <mgedmin> it's NTFS-formatted, maybe that's why?
[19:29] <dayz> switch10_, thanks
[19:30] <switch10_> dayz: to remove permissions use a - instead of a +
[19:30] <MASARUwota> mgedmin: do you have the ntfs-3g package installed?
[19:30] <mgedmin> but nautilus sees the NTFS partition on my hard disk just fine
[19:30] <mgedmin> so yeah, I have ntfs-3
[19:30] <switch10_> dayz: no prob
[19:30] <MASARUwota> mgedmin: well, mount it manually then
[19:30] <Alamma1> xover: There's usually a small hole close to the eject button that you can insert a paperclip into to manually eject the drive
[19:30] <meero_> MASARUwota: .... man grub .... No manual entry for grub
[19:30] <mgedmin> actually, wait, I haven't tried that after karmic upgrade
[19:30] <mgedmin> maybe ntfs-3g got removed
[19:30] <smkis22> MASARUwota: I will try that and I'll let you know what happened.. THANK YOU!
[19:30] <MASARUwota> meero_: man grub2
[19:30] <mgedmin> no, it's installed
[19:30] <guntbert> knoxy: did you make certain to have your 9.04 up to date? (I'm only guessing at the moment)
[19:31] <cutout> is there anyone to elp configure my touchpad on 9.01
[19:31] <ardchoille> I'm using Thrunderbird as my rss reader and would like to be able to remove all thml formatting in rss feed displays. How can I accomplish this?
[19:31] <Pipi772> Helloooooooooooooooooooo
[19:31] <mgedmin> sudo mount works fine
[19:31] <Pipi772> Does anybody knows TSCLIENT???
[19:31] <smkis22> bye guys!
[19:31] <MASARUwota> cutout: read back, you got your question answered
[19:31] <MASARUwota> smkis22:bye
[19:31] <meero_> MASARUwota: No manual entry for grub2
[19:31] <knoxy> guntbert no.. hehe.. I'm not certain...
[19:32] <Gurkenglas> is there a german equivalent to #ubuntu?

[19:32] <mlissner> I'm struggling to get apache to work properly, but apparently this is the problem.
[19:33] <coolcat> MASARUwota, sorry
[19:33] <meero_> MASARUwota: thats why i was asking about grub 2, but there is no man for grub2 :-)
[19:34] <cutout> MASARUwota: I can't find it?
[19:34] <MASARUwota> meero_: oh well, try the official docs for grub2 at the gnu wiki then: http://grub.enbug.org/Manual
[19:34] <mgedmin> oh cool now printing doesn't work...
[19:34] <meero_> MASARUwota: thanx
[19:35] <Scunizi> mlissner: how is it not working properly? did you install from the repos?
[19:35] <burzki> meero_, this too, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[19:35] <guntbert> !doesntwork | Pipi772
[19:36] <poisonborz> ...could anyone help me? I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a A7N8X mobo with AC97 soundcard - but there is no sound, and music/video player does not start to play if internal audio is selected (it works well with pci soundcard)
[19:36] <henkpoley> Is there a way to configure what HAL uses for keyboard to send to X11 ?
[19:36] <cutout> MASARUwota: here is what I get when I run gsynaptics: GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
[19:36] <MASARUwota> poisonborz: try running alsamixer
[19:36] <cutout> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XFree86.conf to use GSynaptics
[19:36] <MASARUwota> ;/
[19:36] <MASARUwota> yes
[19:36] <MASARUwota> do that then
[19:36] <poisonborz> MASARUwota, ...how?
[19:36] <Pici> !enter
[19:37] <dorgan> maybe someone knows the answer....when a file gets uploaded via ftp or sftp does the parent directories ctime get update as soon as the file transfer process starts or after the process is done??
[19:37] <MASARUwota> poisonborz: open up a terminal and type alsamixer
[19:37] <LSG> MASARUwota: Well that worked. Now i just have to reboot to see if these new drivers remove the damn "Unsupported Hardware" watermark...
[19:37] <MASARUwota> dorgan, please ask this in #linux or something, this is a busy channel :X
[19:38] <yo_rmn> how do i get dell inspiron 1501 to boot from cd?
[19:38] <Bacta> If by ctime he's referring to modification date you would assume it would work however it works with normal Unix directories
[19:38] <Bacta> but ah well
[19:38] <[sober]> jump into the bios and change settings in there, yo_rmn
[19:39] <MASARUwota> Bacta: he was asking something different, he asked WHEN that happens
[19:39] <Bacta> aha
[19:39] <Bacta> Well there are ways of finding that out for oneself i suppose
[19:40] <kitche> pretty sure it does
[19:40] <kitche> opps
[19:40] <meero_> how to set irrsi to NOT display chat from other channel (eg . from #ubuntu)
[19:41] <Autie> meero_: just leave that channel
[19:41] <Bacta> how to format your question using grammatically correct English
[19:42] <Alan502> Is there any powerful video editing software for linux?
[19:42] <nerdy_kid_> how to change sender address in linux mail?
[19:42] <guntbert> Bacta: please don't make fun of people asking for help
[19:42] <nerdy_kid_> Alan502 check out kdenlive or Openshot
[19:42] <Pici> meero_: Create a new window when you join a channel. /window new hide  then join.  There is also probably a setting that dictates this, you can find more help for irssi in their official channel: #irssi
[19:43] <Scunizi> Alan502: LiVeS! available on www.getdeb.net .. Cinrella (spelling?) usually overkill and tough to setup
[19:43] <Bacta> Yep either is ok but is nowhere near the likes of Avid
[19:43] <meero_> Autie: yes but it doest solve this properly
[19:43] <guntbert> nerdy_kid_: did you read man mail?
[19:43] <Seveas> Scunizi, (cinelerra)
[19:43] <Scunizi> Seveas: ah.. thanks
[19:43] <weq> Hi I'm having some issues with grub, dual boot windows xp and ubuntu.
[19:43] <nerdy_kid_> guntbert yes i did, the -r flah doesnt work
[19:43] <Autie> meero_: probably i didn't understand your question correctly :)
[19:43] <Alan502> Scunizi, Lives? is it kdenlive?
[19:44] <Alan502> nerdy_kid_, thanks man
[19:44] <weq> 5 sata hdd and 1 ide hdd.
[19:44] <Scunizi> Alan502: no.. it's different.. kdenlive is nice but a little buggy.. at least the last time I tried it.
[19:44] <weq> and windows is on one sata and linux is on another sata but hd1,0 ain't the correct windows drive anymore
[19:44] <nerdy_kid_> Alan502 OpenShot has green screen effects too! (only one ive found so far)
[19:45] <guntbert> nerdy_kid_: look at ~.mailrc or /etc/mail.rc
[19:45] <Alan502> Thanks, but, do this ones provide Chroma key effects? (aka blue/green screen)
[19:45] <Besogon> HI. I have trouble with octava 3.2. Is it stable package? I find that many packages for the karmic are depended from libreadline5, but ubuntu9.10 uses libreadline6. Octave is not exception to that rule. Can someone help me with octave please?
[19:45] <nerdy_kid_> guntbert thanks looking
[19:45] <Dr_Willis> weq:  ive noticed on some of my machines. if you use teh bios menus to select what hd to 'boot' it becomes the sda (or hd1 in grub2 terms)
[19:46] <guntbert> nerdy_kid_: just giving pointers - didn't try it myself :-)
[19:46] <meero_> Pici: thank you that helped
[19:46] <nerdy_kid_> guntbert no problem, every hint helps!
[19:46] <Dr_Willis> meero_:  irssi is worth reading the docs a few times over. :) but im using Weechat these days.
[19:46] <Scunizi> Dr_Willis: wouldn't that be hd0=sda ??  I thought/remember that grub started counting at 0
[19:47] <siropio> hi, there is anyon to know how to get the source code of any command?and second,who knows where i cab find the C library code?
[19:47] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  grub1  yes.. grub2 changes that. I forget exactly what it changed.. but ONE of those @'s start at 1 now.
[19:47] <savix> hi, my NTFS partition has been interrupted and i cannot mount it any more , is there anyway that i can fix its partition table and be able to mount it again ?
[19:47] <guntbert> nerdy_kid_: btw those file are mentioned in the man page too :-)
[19:47] <Scunizi> Dr_Willis: ah.. haven't really played with grub2 yet..
[19:47] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  its mentioned in big letters on teh grub2 docs/wiki pages i recall
[19:47] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  i think partitions now start at 1. instead of 0. I could be wrong. :)
[19:47] <trism> siropio: you can use dpkg -S /path/to/command to find what package it is in, then apt-get source package_name to download the code into the current directory
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  the logic of it excapes me. :) either leave it at starting at 0 or make both start at 1.. but not 1/2 way :)
[19:48] <savix> hi, my NTFS partition has been interrupted and i cannot mount it any more , is there anyway that i can fix its partition table and be able to mount it again ?
[19:48] <nerdy_kid_> guntbert oops..didnt see that; installed several 'mailx' programs lol
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> savix:  best to use windows to 'scan/repair' the partition.
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> savix:  then linux should be able to mount it
[19:48] <guntbert> nerdy_kid_: :-)
[19:49] <tolvito> hi
[19:49] <recent> how can i send in trash, my deleted f
[19:49] <recent> iles
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> recent:  care to rephrase that. If you select a file and delete it.. it goes to the trash normally.
[19:49] <siropio> recent: shift + delete  :P
[19:49] <nickkontos> if i clone my ubuntu drive with clonezilla, will the new hard disk be bootable?
[19:50] <recent> from my extra disks
[19:50] <meero_> Dr_Willis: docs, u mean the official site?
[19:50] <Dr_Willis> meero_:  yes.  Those places tend to have the best docs/support forums/faq :)
[19:51] <timmerz> hey
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> meero_:  if you like irssi. you may want to try out the latest weechat. It has some very nice features not in irssi.
[19:52] <nerdy_kid_> guntbert aha got it thanks man!
[19:52] <timmerz> ok im runing #!crunchbox and i want to duel boot it with pclinuxos minime will that work
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> timmerz:  You may need tio manually add the proper entries to the grub menus dependisn on what grub its using.
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> timmerz:  and isent it 'crunchbang' ?
[19:52] <Scunizi> timmerz: you should be able to dual boot most anything.. just remember that the last thing installed will also install the default boot loader for that system.
[19:52] <timmerz> yea lol
[19:53] <pting> how do i use awk to concatenate a string i'm piping into it that contains multiple lines and transform it into one line separated by spaces?
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> timmerz:  it pays to up your grub-fu skills when atempting to do such a task.
[19:53] <Hydrosis> I always install Windows first, then ubuntu.  Windows on the first half of the disc, and usually only a small partitian.
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> single line seperated by spaces? How do you use spaces to seperate lines?
[19:54] <timmerz> haha fuck winblows
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> expecially a single line. :)
[19:54] <qed> ahhh!  my machine upon startup this morning said that i have no disk space left.  it literally said 100% disk space.  it shows my /var/log as being 22GB, but there is nothing that big inside of /var/log
[19:54] <Hydrosis> I like Windows.  Things work.
[19:54] <gatekeeper> the reboot did the trick i'm up and running thanks
[19:54] <maco> timmerz: language
[19:54] <qed> if i look at gparted i have more than that remaining
[19:54] <qed> wtf is going on?
[19:54] <dport> I use windows for gaming, thats it.
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> Hydrosis:  i tend to find the oppsite of that  when i use windows.
[19:54] <Hydrosis> dport, same.
[19:54] <reign2> is it worth it to put /home on a separate partition? seems to me its kind of pointless since if the / partition goes down your going to lose alot of settings and libs anyway :\
[19:54]  * Dr_Willis makes $$ using Ubuntu live cd's to rescue friends windows systems..
[19:55] <dport> If i'm not planning on playing a game I stay booted into ubuntu all the time
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> reign2:  its Great when you reinstall.
[19:55] <Hydrosis> Dr_Willis: I prefer Linux, but im a gamer.
[19:55] <guntbert> nerdy_kid_: nice :)
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> reign2:  and id rather / go down and lose some settings then /home go down and lose my err.. vacation videos.
[19:55] <pting> i don't play windows games unless they run under wine
[19:56] <Hydrosis> pting: you are missing out on most games.
[19:56] <kitty_> ok i really need help with my networking
[19:56] <timmerz> i gave up on windows i bought a net book with no disk drive the recovery partiotion corrupted the disks acer sent me went even formatted and i cant get the copy of win xp that i rightfully own from buying my machine with it
[19:56] <reign2> Dr_Willis: ah I see; so its basically to save files
[19:56] <Scunizi> Dr_Willis: I've been using irssi for some time but weechat looks promising.
[19:56]  * Dr_Willis equates 'im a gamer' to someone bragging about 'i sit all day and watch tv'  :)
[19:56] <Hydrosis> Linux gaming is a joke.  Does anone know of a GOOD fps that doesnt look like a nintendo64 game?
[19:56] <qed> anyone?  my disk space is shown as 100% used.  gparted shows otherwise.
[19:56] <Bilz> hello. i want to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu. im going to install windows 7 first. would the best way to do to be to create an extended partition, and then 4 primary partitions in there: 1 windows, 1 ubuntu, 1 swap, and 1 storage between the two? googling dual booting but it doesnt seem to say much about extended partitions, and id like to access a shared storage between ubuntu and windows.
[19:56] <chivilcasa> hi, ubuntu one within pass?
[19:56] <qed> when i boot with the newest kernel it tells me power manager was incorrectly installed
[19:56] <qed> and wont log in
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  yea. the 3.0 version (not in the repos yet) has some very nice features.  the 'smart hideing' of join/part/quits is  soooo handy.
[19:57] <qed> yet another ubuntu filesystem bug
[19:57] <reign2> Hydrosis: wine runs pretty much anything I throw at it for the most part with minor issues
[19:57] <qed> freaking annoyin
[19:57] <Scunizi> Hydrosis: look on www.getdeb.net for prepackaged .debs .. all their software is done by catagory
[19:57] <Hydrosis> Bilz, windows first then use gparted from the Live CD to make partition.  It will make yoru swaps automatically for you.
[19:57] <pting> qed: what does df -h report?
[19:57] <qed> 100% use
[19:57] <qed> size: 46GB, used: 44GB
[19:57] <pting> qed, on your /var mount?
[19:57] <qed> Use 100%
[19:58] <Scunizi> Dr_Willis: in irssi I just /ignore joins parts quits and it's done .. then /save ..
[19:58] <Hydrosis> reign2: I cant get wine to run the apps I need, like Cool Edit Pro and some games.  Game will work, but they all lag.  The same games work fine on the same machine with Windows.
[19:58] <Bilz> Hydrosis, but I should put them all in an extended partition yes?
[19:58] <pting> qed, or do you just have one huge partition
[19:58] <kitty_> qed thats the tune2fs reserved block
[19:58] <timmerz> wow u guys r playing with little drives 44 gig?
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  thats not 'smart' hideing.
[19:58] <qed> one partition
[19:58] <kitty_> qed i have same problem with my 4Gb microsd card
[19:58] <Scunizi> Dr_Willis: probably not .. lol..
[19:58] <qed> i had 5 gigs left yesterday when i shut down
[19:58] <Besogon> Does there present any different between libreadline5 and libreadline6? (that lib seems to do the same)
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  if  someone that has never chatted just joins/parts i DONT see that .. if YOU part- I do see it.
[19:58] <pting> qed, ext3? ext4?
[19:58] <dport> That is a small drive
[19:58] <kitty_> ./dev/sda1              3944244   3587128    317360  92% /
[19:58] <qed> ext4
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  and i can alt-= and show all the parts/joins on the fly :)
[19:58] <qed> err sorry
[19:58] <Scunizi> Dr_Willis: that's cool
[19:58] <qed> ext3
[19:58] <Flare183> !who
[19:59] <maco> qed: the reserved space, maybe?
[19:59] <pting> qed, hum... have you tried disk usage analyzer?
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  yep. VERY handy. and it has some scripts to manage all the scripts at their web site. so you can  use a command in the client to check/install/update your scripts
[19:59] <qed> pting: yes it shows var/log as being 22GB
[19:59] <qed> which is freaking huge
[19:59] <kitty_> qed: try tune2fs and the -m option trips your trigger
[19:59] <qed> none of the files below it are that big
[19:59] <Flare183> qed: Same here.
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> Scunizi:  i dont see myself going back to irssi any time soon. :)
[20:00]  * Flare183 has a massive user.log file
[20:00] <qed> how do you use tune2fs
[20:00] <pting> qed, hum... and nothing's in the /var/log folder?
[20:00] <qed> tune2fs -m /dev/sdb1?
[20:00]  * Flare183 needs to clean it up with the LiveCD
[20:00] <qed> pting: nothing man
[20:00] <reign2> Hydrosis: yeah wine isnt perfect; some games dont run properly and not all programs work (any media player using ffdshow for instance)
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> qed:  qwith a sudo in there..   and the changes normally DONT take affect till after a reboot. (or the system some how remounts the filesystem)
[20:00] <Aciid> has nautilus .gnome/nautilus-scripts been deprecated on ubuntu?
[20:01] <qed> Dr_Willis: can i run this while the FS is mounted?
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> Aciid:  i still see/use some nautilus scripts
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> qed:  yes you can. but the changes dont take affect untill after its remounted.
[20:01] <qed> tune2fs: bad reserved block ratio - /dev/sdb1
[20:01] <qed> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> qed:  I normally set the label, and the reserved space to be like  a few blocks or 1% on some drives
[20:01] <VCoolio> Aciid: it's .gnome2/nautilus-scripts
[20:01] <qed> Dr_Willis: could you give me an example?
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> qed:  check the docs/manpages  theres several ways to set the reserve
[20:02] <qed> im at work and desperate to get this fixed
[20:02] <kitty_> tune2fs /dev/sdb1 -m [%youwanttochangeitto]
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> qed:  i think -m 0   = 0%
[20:02] <Bilz> hello. i want to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu. im going to install windows 7 first. would the best way to do to be to create an extended partition, and then 4 primary partitions in there: 1 windows, 1 ubuntu, 1 swap, and 1 storage between the two? googling dual booting but it doesnt seem to say much about extended partitions, and id like to access a shared storage between ubuntu and windows.
[20:02] <qed> Dr_Willis: what does this do?
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> qed:  or ya can do it by block.
[20:02] <kitty_> i believe 10% is the default, i'd go as low as 5% on a 40Gb partition cause there won't be much need for more
[20:02] <ardchoille> I'm using Thrunderbird as my rss reader and would like to be able to remove all thml formatting in rss feed displays. How can I accomplish this?
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> 5% is the default kitty_
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> 5% reserved on a 1tb hd = quite a bit of space. :)
[20:03] <qed> i mean, why the hell is this happening?  i had 5.7GB yesterday when i shut down
[20:03] <qed> how did it magically become 0% free space
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> qed:  no idea.
[20:03] <qed> man, this is the second time ubuntu has given me serious filesystem issues
[20:03] <kitty_> ok i was wrong, all i know is i came in with the exact problem he has and i went around deleting old kernel versions, logs in my /var/log and killing system monitors like atop and removing logging features for network traffic that would fill my partition in minutes
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> qed:  i got more then 5.7gb in just wallpaper in my /home :)
[20:03] <ardchoille> hehe
[20:03] <maco> Dr_Willis: O_o
[20:04] <Aciid> VCoolio: thanks
[20:04] <gp5st> anyone here have trouble installing the intel compilers in 9.10?
[20:04] <kitty_> dr_willis must have a massive desktop resolution
[20:04] <synx> Hello. I can't get the liveCD to work. The splash screen displays then the CD drive winds down, then nothing.
[20:04] <kitty_> Dr_Willis, you consider yourself adept when it comes to networking problems?
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> Found a tool the other day that downloaded all the national geographic 'wallpapers' in one go. :) found another one today that adds them to the gnome wallpapers as  that special 'auto changeing every 20 min' feature also
[20:04] <synx> I checked the md5sums.txt file and all sums check out.
[20:04] <qed> can ijust rm my user.log?
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> kitty_:  i manage to do ok for the most part
[20:04] <qed> i just*
[20:04] <Hilikus> why does ubuntu server 9.10 install kerner 2.6.31-14-generic-pae as default? what happened to *-server?
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> qed:  look for archived logs also.
[20:05] <kitty_> Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/f5f191fea
[20:05] <qed> i removed my user.log.1 and freed up 8gb
[20:05] <qed> jesus christ
[20:05] <DEViUS> hi i need to block a port, which is open by god knows what, how do i do that?
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> kitty_:  looks liek you are getting some invalid packits.
[20:05] <maco> Hilikus: the only significant difference between them was pae support anyway, so it was renamed
[20:05] <qed> why the hell would user.log get so big
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> qed:  lots of users? :)
[20:06] <kitty_> Dr_Willis i'm actually requesting them
[20:06] <qed> 1 user Dr_Willis :)
[20:06] <Hilikus> maco: ok, so it's normal. thanks
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> DEViUS:  by default eveyrthing is open.. but theres no services.. so it dosent matter.. so clarify what you need. Theres the ufw firewall front end to block things if you wanted to
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> !ufw | DEViUS
[20:07] <synx> DEViUS: iptables -t OUTPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport $something -j DROP
[20:07] <synx> oh wait, maybe it's sport on input...
[20:07] <synx> dport on input... never mind >_<
[20:08] <qed> wow.
[20:08] <qed> just wow
[20:08] <synx> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[20:08] <qed> i removed debug.log.1 and user.log.1 and got 16GB of free space
[20:08] <qed> wtf is going on here
[20:08] <dassouki> I just realized after exporting 20 cds to my computer, they saved as ".ogg" is there a way I can mass convert to mp3 ?
[20:09] <switch10_> dassouki: sound converter
[20:09] <Dr_Willis> dassouki:  from what i hear ogg sounds better. :)
[20:09] <switch10_> dassouki: sudo apt-get install soundconverter
[20:09] <Dr_Willis> was that a pun? guess it was..
[20:09] <qed> how do i make my logging cap lower?
[20:09] <kitty_> Dr_Willis: network layout, laptop -> ppp0 alltel dialup, eth0 wireless nic, eth1 wired nic -> linksys wrt54gls set up as a wireless access point only, then i got all those packets after starting my NDS and connecting to internet
[20:09] <qed> i dont need 8GB user.logs
[20:09] <switch10_> dassouki: ogg is open source.  mp3 is not
[20:10] <DEViUS> Dr_Willis, it would nice of you if you provide me the command to block the TCP and UDP port 17500, which i said to be used by CrazzyNet Trojan, and apparently after using rkhunter, chkrootkit, i founf nothin
[20:10] <Dr_Willis> kitty_:  a Nintendo DS? ive heard so many bad things about how they do wireless.
[20:10] <dassouki> switch10_: I'm not an open source nazi
[20:10] <Dr_Willis> DEViUS:  i dont use the stuff to block ports. so i dont know the command.. someome else gave a template right below where i mentioned ufw
[20:10] <dassouki> Dr_Willis: unfortunately,  i need to put them on an sd disk
[20:11] <synx> switch10_: not true. It's more of a patent issue, and an aesthetic one.
[20:11] <Dr_Willis> synx | DEViUS: iptables -t OUTPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport $something -j DROP
[20:11] <switch10_> dassouki: right on just thought id let ya know
[20:11] <synx> dassouki: you probably should be. closed source means you have no way of knowing what they're doing with your computer.
[20:11] <DEViUS> synx, i didnt quite get that, can u pliz write it again to block UDP port 17500 and TCP port 17500
[20:11]  * Dr_Willis wonders what a sd disk is...
[20:11] <kitty_> Dr_Willis, doesn't matter which outside client i use, i still get the same forms of error messages
[20:11] <synx> Dr_Willis: sure that isn't for INPUT? I think it is.
[20:11] <switch10_> synx: what do you mean?  I always thought mp3 was closed source
[20:12] <guntbert> dassouki: please mind you language
[20:12] <Dr_Willis> synx:  i havent messed with iptables in ages.
[20:12] <synx> DEViUS: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[20:12] <grendal_prime> im having a hard time getting my dell 1420 to display on the external video.
[20:12] <synx> switch10_: There are many quite capable mp3 encoders and decoders that are both totally open sourced and free.
[20:12] <grendal_prime> anyone have any advice on external screens?
[20:12] <sektorNBA> hi. anyone here use squid_ldap_group ?
[20:13] <DEViUS> synx, aha thnx thats much better
[20:13] <Orphee> im learning xhtml and i want to publish a non prof  website i have ubuntu 9.10 64bits how can i publish it?
[20:13] <synx> np ^^
[20:13] <guntbert> !ot | Orphee
[20:13] <synx> Hey I can't get the liveCD to work. The splash screen displays then the CD drive winds down, then nothing.
[20:14] <DEViUS> synx, so i had done a port scan wiht nmap before and found those ports open, do i need to rebboot before rescanning, or thats it
[20:14] <Orphee> i thought that would be related but sorry dudes:(
[20:14] <guntbert> synx: standard question: did you !md5sum check the image before burning?
[20:14] <dassouki> synx: dunno I'm on ubuntu, and been using it for about 5 years now, through crossover and wine, i run $20k worth of closed source software that simply has no FOSS alternatives ... if you're in niche non-computer related markets, Close source for now is the only way to go
[20:14] <synx> DEViUS: you should never have to reboot, nope.
[20:14] <synx> Orphee: try #apache
[20:14] <synx> guntbert: yes
[20:15] <Orphee> thanks synx
[20:15] <guntbert> synx: strange
[20:15] <synx> dassouki: if there's no alternatives, not much you can do, but closed source really is the equivalent of "hey give me your computer and trust me."
[20:16] <DEViUS> synx, hmmn but nmap still says Discovered open port 17500/tcp on <MYIP>
[20:16] <apparle> is there any alternative to matlab
[20:16] <burzki> synx, are you trying to boot/install from the liveCD, or trying to mount it on the desktop?
[20:16] <dassouki> apparle: octave, numpy/scipy, ....
[20:16] <dassouki> apparle: start with octave
[20:16] <synx> guntbert: I also ran md5sum on md5sums.txt on the CD I burned, and that checked out OK too.
[20:16] <dassouki> if you know a bit of python, venture into numpy or R
[20:16] <kane77> is there any fix for usb drives (flash and harddrives) being TERRIBLY slow? It's spend last hour copying 700MB file..
[20:16] <Dr_Willis> DEViUS:  use some port scanning web site. scanning yoruself.. can be.. a little conruseing
[20:16] <dassouki> kane77: could it be that your usb is slow ?
[20:17] <aschi>  hello italiano??
[20:17] <synx> DEViUS: Where are you running nmap from? Not the same computer you're trying to firewall I hope?
[20:17] <kane77> dassouki, could, if it wasn't much faster in windows :/
[20:17] <dassouki> aschi: #ubuntu-it <-maybe
[20:17] <synx> burzki: boot from the liveCD
[20:17] <apparle> dassouki: have you tried it personally.... I want it for image processing
[20:17] <guntbert> synx: next thing that comes to my mind: is the CD dirty? is the drive faulty?
[20:17] <DEViUS> synx, ofcos not, i scan it with my otha pc
[20:17] <dassouki> apparle: I use it for work, I do mostly matrix analysis
[20:17] <guntbert> !it | aschi
[20:17] <synx> I can mount the liveCD just fine.
[20:18] <DEViUS> synx, im rely concerned about this port after reading its for a CrazzyNet Trojan
[20:18] <burzki> synx, are you just wanting to try the liveCD, or do an install?
[20:18] <apparle> dassouki: is there an image processing toolbox for it?
[20:18] <synx> guntbert: The drive is from a 2 year old e-machines prefab PC. :/ That's probably the problem. The CD is about 10 minutes old.
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> DEViUS:  tell the channel what your whole network is like then. 2 pcs going into a router to the internet or what exactly?
[20:18] <trism> apparle: this may be what you want http://octave.sourceforge.net/image/index.html
[20:18] <burzki> synx, in either case, i would try mounting it on the desktop, then install from there ..
[20:18] <apparle> dassouki: and how is scilab compared with octave
[20:19] <synx> DEViUS: You mean CrazzyNet backdoor for Windows?
[20:19] <humbolt> how do I get a fully functional (non-free) version of ffmpeg for ubuntu?
[20:19] <synx> burzki: just try it for now.
[20:19] <dassouki> apparle: I'm not sure, but try in #octave .. they'll be better help
[20:19] <guntbert> synx: I know its no help - can you try the CD in another drive?
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> humbolt:  you could compile it.. i also think theres ppa's for  ffmpeg with different options
[20:19] <synx> I don't want to touch this person's HD since they're afraid I'll break it.
[20:19] <Scunizi> humbolt: possibly over at medibuntu.com
[20:19] <DEViUS> synx, exactly thats weird, maybe because i am using wine something is working behind there
[20:19] <burzki> synx, yeah, just try mounting it from the desktop ..
[20:19] <synx> guntbert: I have a drive on this computer, but it's always on and I can't conveniently reboot. :/
[20:20] <DEViUS> synx, i have my home network all on one router then the internet
[20:20] <done_`> hey need to ask! i want to block torrent anyone know what port should i close? thx
[20:20] <en1gma> sup all? i just  installed ubuntu 9.10 and then i added the kdebase....but at login screen i cant select kde. can someone tell me what i misisng
[20:20] <synx> guntbert: I was hoping there could be some options I could try that get around faulty drives.
[20:20] <burzki> synx, otherwise, i've had some troubles w/ the CD's as well, sometimes had to reboot 5-6 times before it took ..
[20:20] <e66>  I see a connection state ESTABLISHED by "netstat -an --proto tcpip". How do I close a socket from cmdline?
[20:20] <guntbert> synx: well, install virtual box, attach the real drive to a VM and boot that
[20:20] <Scunizi> en1gma: there may be a button/selection called "sessions" .. that's where you make the change
[20:20] <Dr_Willis> done_`:  Im not sure you can do it by blocking single ports. Most torrent clients can randomize the ports..
[20:21] <johnny-break> oklñ
[20:21] <done_`> Dr_Willis can i do it with multiport using iptables ? a specific range ?
[20:21] <synx> burzki: I can mount it on this computer, but I wanted to boot into it on the other computer, running Windows.
[20:21] <Scunizi> done_`: you could signup for the free www.opendns.com account and block it with that
[20:21] <en1gma> yea i seen that after  installled and logged off but kde wasnt in it so i shutdown and then power on and now sessions isnt even there now
[20:21] <synx> guntbert: you're kidding me
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> done_`:  no idea.  Ive never wanted to block it.. and the isp's all seem to have a hard time blocking it... :)
[20:21] <en1gma> Scunizi,  do you know what i mean
[20:21] <sektorNBA> hi. anyone here use squid_ldap_group ?
[20:21] <humbolt> medibuntu does not have ffmpeg
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> done_`:  i know i can set my torrent client to use most any port .
[20:22] <done_`> Dr_Willis ya right
[20:22] <xeviox> can someone help me installing scratchbox?
[20:22] <guntbert> synx: no - that was meant in earnest - I have some virtualization on nearly all my computers
[20:22] <burzki> synx, what happens if you load the cd with windows already running?
[20:22] <xeviox> I'm not that experinced in linux and get always an "Inconsistency detected by ld.so" error
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> done_`:   it can proberly even use common service ports.. or theres always using vpn to get around it
[20:22] <Scunizi> en1gma: when I've done it I installed the full kubuntu-desktop after ubuntu and then "sessions" had the option to boot into the kde environment.
[20:22] <DEViUS> synx, exactly thats weird, maybe because i am using wine something is working behind there
[20:23] <en1gma> ahh i just did base
[20:23] <en1gma> let me try what oyu said
[20:23] <done_`> Dr_Willis aha iptables doesn't support layer7 so i think i have to either block range of port or change policy to BLOCK and allow specific port =)
[20:23] <Scunizi> en1gma: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[20:23] <Storm3yy> Hey
[20:23] <WinfredNg> I want use VPN on Ubuntu, Any Idea? Thanks.
[20:23] <Pipi772> Helloooooooooooo!
[20:23] <en1gma> ok trying it now
[20:23] <Storm3yy> Anyone use EBS with Amazon EC2?
[20:23] <diabolix> didn't there used to be a way to make the panel stick to some minimal size, rather than expanding and contracting whenever I click something?
[20:23] <Pipi772> need h-e-l-p Koala Upstart... Documentation is hard..
[20:23] <Dr_Willis> done_`:    just turn off the power.. :) thats easier.
[20:24] <Hilikus> how can i make emacs not start in split mode with that garbage in the bottom?
[20:24] <guntbert> diabolix: did you look at panel properties?
[20:24] <Dr_Willis> Pipi772:  whats teh exact question about Upstart?
[20:24] <xeviox> no one able to help?
[20:24] <diabolix> guntbert, yes
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> xeviox:  never seen or heard of that error befor.. so no idea.
[20:25] <Pipi772> Hi Dr_Willis, i removed gdm, load xinit on rc.local and i want to run <<tsclient -x terminal.rdp>> automatic on startup
[20:25] <diabolix> guntbert, I meant horizontal size. width.
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> xeviox:  no idea what scratchbox is either.
[20:25] <scorpey> HI
[20:25] <DEViUS> synx, hey r u there ??
[20:25] <guntbert> diabolix: what does expand do?
[20:25] <scorpey> I nead help
[20:25] <synx> burzki: will check, one minute
[20:25] <xeviox> Dr_Willis: seems to be a tool for crosscompiling ..
[20:26] <Scunizi> scorpey: don't wait.. ask a question
[20:26] <scorpey> help with dpkg
[20:26] <diabolix> guntbert, it makes it take up the whole side of the screen.
[20:26] <Scunizi> scorpey: don't wait.. ask a question
[20:26] <aperson> how wise would it be to remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage?
[20:26] <jsn> I swear I'm not an idiot. My chroot'ed bind9 is giving the right answers for ns1.[mydomain].com and ns2.[mydomain].com but I can't seem to get any answer for www.[mydomain].com. Is there a braindead ubuntu tool for creating zone and named.conf.local files?
[20:26] <Scunizi> aperson: won't hurt
[20:26] <Storm3yy> I'm logged into a user account on my server how do I login to the root one?
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> aperson:  its not real imporntant
[20:26] <Storm3yy> It dosnt seem to let me it says to use a user
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> Storm3yy:  use sudo.
[20:26] <Scunizi> Storm3yy: use "sudo" for admin tasks
[20:26] <scorpey> При обработке следующих пакетов произошли ошибки:
[20:26] <scorpey>  vsftpd

[20:27] <scorpey> Whot is IT
[20:27] <Pipi772> Dr_Willis
[20:27] <guntbert> diabolix: ah - I misunderstood - my panel is at the top .... - then you could modify "size"
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> Pipi772:
[20:27] <plustax> Hey guys. I have a compiz cube. I was wondering...how do I set a different wallpaper for each side of the cube?
[20:27] <Pipi772> how do i run something with xinit
[20:28] <Storm3yy> Dr_Willis - I don't want too. I need to use the root acc
[20:28] <Dr_Willis> Pipi772:  ive not used xinit in ages.
[20:28] <jsn> Pipi772, I'm no expert, but I'd look at .xinitrc
[20:28] <Dr_Willis> Storm3yy:  sorry to hear that. its best to learn how to use sudo.
[20:28] <Storm3yy> Also how do I leave tasks running when it close the SSH on my PC?
[20:28] <aperson> thanks Scunizi, Dr_Willis
[20:28] <maco> Storm3yy: screen
[20:28] <Dr_Willis> Storm3yy:  look into screen, or the nohup command
[20:28] <humbolt> I do not find a good guide to get full blown ffmpeg in karmic
[20:28] <jsn> Storm3yy, start them with nohup. Actually, screen is probably better, a little harder to learn
[20:28] <DEViUS> ok so i guess i need someone elses help, i need to block port 17500 TCP and UDP, becos its for a Windows CrazzyNet Trojan, and i am running wine so i guess its there, some1 pliz help
[20:28] <Pipi772> Yes maybe i faced it wrong..
[20:28] <christine_> c'est spécial quand même
[20:29] <synx> burzki: It shows the Ubuntu Menu, asking me if I want to reboot, or install it or whatnot.
[20:29] <aperson> jsn, bybobu makes screen pretty easy to use
[20:29] <Dr_Willis> humbolt:  i recall seeing guides on compiling ffmpeg in ubuntu. (or using the cvs or wharever versions)
[20:29] <done_`> hey Dr_Willis check this : http://www.ipp2p.org/ =)
[20:29] <jsn> DEViUS, you want to learn iptables, to block everything not allowed. The Ubuntu IptablesHowTo is pretty good.
[20:29] <Pipi772> Dr_willis, i just want to run tsclient with a softly linux,
[20:29] <tilen> hi i have problem glxinfo:1480 freeing invalid memtype f0102000-f0112000 ??
[20:29] <jsn> DEViUS, or, you could just act quickly, and remove those lines from /etc/services
[20:29] <jsn> DEViUS, rather, comment them out
[20:29] <plustax> Hey guys. I have a compiz cube. I was wondering...how do I set a different wallpaper for each side of the cube? Please help!
[20:30] <Scunizi> plustax: don't think you can on gnome
[20:30] <aperson> plustax, you need to patch nautilus to do that, afaik
[20:30] <scorpey_> sory
[20:30] <DEViUS> jsn, i already set the default as deny, and i need to block anything not defined, wats with the            /etc/services           i didnt quite get that
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> Pipi772:  so why are you doing all this weirdness? what are you gainign by all this?
[20:30] <jsn> DEViUS, if a port isn't in /etc/services, it is blocked. Comment out any port, it is blocked.
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> Pipi772:  use gdm, and a minimal window manager that just runs the app.. is how i would go about it.
[20:30] <burzki> synx, hmm.  it doesn't give you an option to run it live?
[20:31] <scorpey_> I install vsftpd not from port, i install from source
[20:31] <ChaoticXSinZ> Heyo all
[20:31] <VCoolio> plustax: you need to prevent nautilus from desktop, which also means no icons there, and then set different wallpapers in compiz wallpaper plugin
[20:31] <scorpey_> and whot do nou
[20:31] <jsn> DEViUS,  but if you have iptables running, that's definitely where you want to do this
[20:31] <ChaoticXSinZ> Is there a way to utilize wins but only after DNS?
[20:31] <kboes> could anyone tell how to install the drivers for my ATI HD 3650 graphicscard, last time I tried couldn't even log in (the last time I used the fglrx driver)
[20:31] <guntbert> !root | Storm3yy
[20:31] <dimitar> for what is port 6025?
[20:31] <dimitar> :D
[20:32] <Scunizi> dimitar: could be anything
[20:32] <Pipi772> Dr_Willis how do i use gdm with a minimal window manager ??
[20:32] <synx> burzki: There are three menu options. The first says demo. The second says it'll install. The third says learn more.
[20:32] <dimitar> www.serbiandownload.com....port 6025...ckeck it?
[20:32] <dimitar> check it*
[20:32] <DEViUS> jsn, my iptables are supposed to be runnning, i guess , how do i check
[20:32] <jsn> dimitar, check it for what?
[20:33] <dimitar> for port?
[20:33] <dimitar> it pop up in my desktop
[20:33] <dimitar> something like
[20:33] <jsn> DEViUS, the IPtables how to from help.ubuntu is pretty darn good. iptables -L -v lists them
[20:33] <scorpey_> anyone see me?
[20:33] <dimitar> 6025 port is open
[20:33] <Scunizi> dimitar: could be a trojan
[20:33] <dimitar> please login
[20:33] <dimitar> lol
[20:33] <burzki> synx, and demo gives you the splash, then quits?
[20:33] <rob0917> MY 9.10 desktop froze on me,I did a ctrl-alt-delete and it brought up a menu to restart or shutdown .I would like to know if there's a way to logout of x rather than restart ?
[20:33] <dimitar> trojan...i dont thing sooo...:D
[20:33] <ChaoticXSinZ> COuld someone help me with setting up WINS and DNS?
[20:34] <jsn> I've _mostly_ got my named service up and running, but am having trouble adding the alias I desperately need. What's the simplest way to configure bind9?
[20:34] <Scunizi> rob0917: ctrl+alt+F2 .. login .. then .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (or stop)
[20:34] <Scunizi> rob0917: on 9.10 you might be able to "service gdm stop (or restart)
[20:35] <trism> rob0917: or just sudo stop gdm
[20:35] <synx> burzki: No, booting from the CD gives me the boot menu, and when I try to load the liveCD it freezes on the splash screen.
[20:35] <Dr_Willis> Pipi772:  install the window manager.. and golly.. there Should be a entry for it in the gdm menus at the bottom. :)
[20:35] <Dr_Willis> Pipi772:  or make your own whatever.desktop entry for gdm to make your own 'session' that launches whatever you want.
[20:35] <Dr_Willis> hmm
[20:35] <Dr_Willis> If one connectys to the internet.. then  enables a VPN in the network manager. do only 'new' programs/connextions use the vpn?
[20:35] <FloodBot4> Dr_Willis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:35] <zeitlos> immortal soul sons
[20:35] <Vonnick> Need some help... I'm running Hardy and I can't open anything as root. Like sudo nautilus. It just hangs, so what's going on?
[20:35] <baz> one annoyance I have on a daily basis is going to delete or move or edit a file only to be told that I don't have the perm - of course, I forgot to be root, so I have to drop down to the command line, sudo nautilus &, and go back to what I was doing - are there any ways to improve this work flow?
[20:36] <Scunizi> Vonnick: how 'bout gksudo nautilus?
[20:36] <guntbert> !gksudo | Vonnick
[20:36] <jsn> Vonnick, root doesn't own the display, can't open apps, see what Scunizi said.
[20:36] <Vonnick> gksudo does the same thing
[20:37] <Scunizi> Vonnick: did you happen to create a root login at one point?
[20:37] <burzki> synx, hmm.  does the demo then just run like a slideshow or something, and not a live OS?
[20:37] <DEViUS> jsn, but i still dont quite get how you block ports, in the list under /etc/services    those are allowed, anything not listed shud be blocked especially after doing    ufw default deny        is that correct
[20:37] <wojtek> where can I find helpfull tutorial on how to use CouchDB
[20:37] <Vonnick> Nope. I just installed
[20:37] <synx> burzki: when I disable quiet and splash, it gets to /scripts/casper-premount then some SCSI stuff pops up, then nothing but Drive Not Ready errors as the drive winds down.
[20:37] <Scunizi> Vonnick: you don't still have the cd in the drive do you?
[20:38] <guntbert> baz: don't use sudo with GUI apps - see above
[20:38] <Vonnick> Scunizi: Nope, checked em all
[20:38] <dimitar> ok
[20:38] <dimitar> i fix it
[20:38] <dimitar> :D
[20:38] <Scunizi> Vonnick: have you done all your updates?
[20:38] <dimitar> bhahaha
[20:38] <FloodBot4> dimitar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:38] <Vonnick> Yes
[20:38] <baz> guntbert, oh yes gksudo, although sudo always works fine, but I have heard that
[20:38] <synx> burzki: no all it does is ask me if I want to reboot.
[20:38] <jsn> DEViUS, ufw default deny <== what does that mean?
[20:38] <ut2_> !lista
[20:38] <izmitLi> seLamün aLeyküm.
[20:38] <Scunizi> Vonnick: very weird.. outside of suggesting a reboot that probably won't do anything.. I"m at a loss.
[20:39] <burzki> synx, 9.10?
[20:39] <guntbert> baz: caution - it does not always work fine - it can mess up your settings
[20:39] <Vonnick> Scunizi: Rebooted way to many times already :(
[20:39] <DEViUS> jsn, the uncomplicated firewall, Setting the default mode of ufw, i made it on deny like this
[20:39] <Scunizi> Vonnick: what are you using nautilus for at root?
[20:39] <izmitLi> Siz ne iþsiniz :)
[20:40] <maco> !ar | izmitLi
[20:40] <Vonnick> Scunizi: So I can replace some files for Gimp
[20:40] <jsn> DEViUS, i know iptables as much as is listed in the howto, can't help with ufw
[20:40] <guntbert> !tr | izmitLi
[20:40] <maco> i was looking for arabic

[20:40] <gigetto> ciao
[20:40] <message144> I want to upgrade all the packages on my system. Not sure if i should use "apt-get upgrade", "apt-get dist-upgrade", "aptitude upgrade", "aptitude safe-upgrade" or "aptitude dist-upgrade". Any advice?
[20:40] <synx> burzki: yup
[20:40] <DEViUS> jsn, thnx i gtg now ill come back later maybe
[20:40] <Scunizi> Vonnick: replace? are they newer/older or just missing?
[20:40] <DEViUS> thnx to all
[20:40] <switch10_> My screen has recently stopped working properly (hardware issue). I have my system set so when I close the screen on my laptop, it shuts the screen off. I have to actually push down pretty hard on the lid to get the actual screen to shut off.
[20:40] <gigetto> !list
[20:40] <switch10_> How would I go about writing a script to shut the screen off after 5 min of inactivity? I know how to do it with the GUI (preferences>screen saver>power management), but since I change this setting so often (watching movies, etc.), it would be nice to automate this process.
[20:41] <Vonnick> Scunizi: Neither :P I'm replacing the splash image for my friend
[20:41] <ortsvorsteher> message144, try  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:41] <guntbert> maco: that would be sa
[20:41] <Scunizi> Vonnick: have you tried from the terminal? sudo cp <path to file> <path to new location>
[20:41] <ironfoot495> hello I'd like to know how to fix the localhost that seems to go to a Debian page?
[20:41] <maco> guntbert: ah ok thx
[20:42] <Vonnick> Yeah, I've already replaced it
[20:42] <synx> nodmraid doesn't fix the problem either... I remember that working on another CD drive years back.
[20:42] <Vonnick> But I'd like to know why I can't open anything as root :P
[20:42] <mezquitale> Anyone here uses virtualbox?  If I reimage my machine, can I still use the same virtual machine that I have stored in partition I use to store data?
[20:42] <synx> message144: I use apt-get dist-upgrade, but some see that as a bit overly aggressive.
[20:42] <Scunizi> Vonnick: someone else will have to take up the banner on this one.. at least sudo works.
[20:42] <ironfoot495> Also I have a problem with getting rid of xampp and installing lampp?
[20:43] <mezquitale> !root| Vonnick
[20:43] <synx> message144: general rule is apt-get update once a day, and apt-get upgrade at least once a week.
[20:43] <guntbert> Vonnick: maybe you messed up by invoking sudo nautilus (instead of gksudo) - but in the console sudo <something> works fine - right?
[20:44] <done_`> hey got problem during compile  http://pastebin.com/m432723ea anyone can help thx
[20:44] <Vonnick> guntbert: yeah
[20:44] <Vonnick> I can update and stuff with sudo
[20:44] <message144> synx, once a day? even on a production server?
[20:45] <trism> switch10_: you could probably use gconftool-2 to edit the properties under /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout (such as sleep_display_ac, sleep_display_battery)
[20:45] <guntbert> Vonnick: and what happens with gksudo gedit <some file> ?
[20:45] <dimitar> why for example when i choose *software sources* and then *choose a download server* i find out that the best download server is located in other country...?why is that?why not my country?
[20:45] <occy> how can I tell which one I should use for my Dell Precision M6400 for wireless:  Broadcom STA or Broadcom B43 ??
[20:45] <dimitar> "D
[20:45] <Scunizi> synx: message144 don't forget apt-get dist-upgrade once a month as well :)
[20:46] <message144> Scunizi, still cant seem to figure out what dist-upgrade actually does
[20:46] <message144> heh
[20:46] <Vonnick> gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf hangs as well
[20:46] <Scunizi> message144: if there is an upgraded version of a package (not just security) it'll update
[20:47] <synx> message144: production server? I don't follow... apt-get update updates your package list, but doesn't upgrade any packages. apt-get upgrade upgrades stuff... and apt-get dist-upgrade somewhat arbitrarily upgrades stuff that might involve a lot of inter-package dependancies.
[20:47] <Guest72158> What's ubuntu
[20:47] <message144> ok, got it
[20:47] <lordneo> hi all
[20:47] <message144> Scunizi, so on a newly provisioned box, i should probably run dist-upgrade?
[20:48] <done_`> hey got problem during compile  http://pastebin.com/m432723ea anyone can help thx
[20:48] <dimitar> Guest72158: Ubunti is OS!
[20:48] <lordneo> there is anyone that has come knowledge on wine that can give me a hand?
[20:48] <Scunizi> message144: I always do.. in one line with ... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:48] <lordneo> some**
[20:48] <Scunizi> lordneo: I do.. but my kids are older now and they just ask for stuff :)
[20:49] <burzki> synx, i had trouble getting past casper several weeks back, even w/ a good md5sum.  i ended up redownloading the .iso from a different server and burning a clean disc, as well as to usb.  both worked for me.
[20:49] <ThomasBerends> hi, i'm using ubuntu netbook remix, and i accidently clicked the icons on the panel (on the top) away.. now i want to add them, but i can't , (normally it is right click on the panel, and then add something, but i don't have space left, so that won't work)
[20:49] <synx> There's really no reason to update more often than you upgrade...
[20:49] <Vonnick> guntbert: wait, gedit just opened but it's super slow
[20:50] <Italian_Plumber1> what does updating without upgrading accomplish?  Nothing?
[20:50] <Scunizi> synx: unless you're just looking to trigger the "update" appelate for security patches..
[20:50] <diabolix> i tried to run an xmonad session, and it doesn't seem to work...
[20:50] <synx> I just update more often to download the packages in the background.
[20:50] <scorpey_> sorry
[20:51] <synx> burzki: that's... impossible though. I got the md5 sum for the ISO directly from ubuntu's website. Could it possibly be an accidental hash collision?
[20:51] <guntbert> Vonnick: somewhere in the links ubottu has about !root !sudo !noroot there is a pointer to a tutorial how to recover from messing up with sudo
[20:51] <BluesKaj> Scunizi, the latest and safest (I've been informed) is to use 'sudo do-realease-upgrade -d ', for alpha&beta versions , drop the -d for official releases
[20:51] <scorpey_> and ho can help me
[20:51] <root> Hello Everyone
[20:51] <switch10_> how do I open the non GUI power management preferences in a terminal?
[20:51] <burzki> synx, ditto, but ??  was very confusing for me.  i think i rebotted twenty times before i gave up
[20:51] <switch10_> is there one?
[20:52] <done_`> hey can someone help me  got problem during compile  http://pastebin.com/m432723ea anyone can help thx
[20:52] <lordneo> Ok, now i have a screenshot
[20:52] <BluesKaj> switch10_, probly but I've never seen it
[20:52] <Scunizi> BluesKaj: dist-upgrade isn't designed to upgrade to the next ubuntu release.. you use it from within your current release to "possibly" upgrade packages to the latest version.. however .. you are correct in what you have said for a release upgrade
[20:52] <synx> burzki: well, maybe I'll try it... hm...
[20:52] <scorpey_> and
[20:52] <lordneo> Can anyone help me with Wine?
[20:52] <burzki> synx, unless its something about the boot loader in the windows machine ..
[20:52] <ortsvorsteher> !anyone | lordneo
[20:52] <Apachez> where do I find out how to connect to a wifi network which doesnt run wep or wpa or wpa2 ?     Using system -> network only seems to like to connect password protected networks but how do I connect to one ssid which doesnt use password ?
[20:52] <Billiard> lordneo: what is the problem
[20:52] <lordneo> Ok, sorry
[20:52] <BluesKaj> Scunizi, yeah , but I use aptitude so the syntax is a bit different there too
[20:53] <lordneo> I get some weirdo horizontal lines when executing a game
[20:53] <lordneo> http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e173/LordNeoZ/screenshot.jpg
[20:53] <synx> burzki: thankfully the BIOS will successfully boot from CD bypassing any hard disk boot loader.
[20:53] <airtonix> switch10_, you do it by using the command line tools to manipulate gconf
[20:53] <Billiard> Apachez: you should be able to connect to unprotected networks fine
[20:53] <lordneo> I have changed the resolution and some stuff recommended on several webs
[20:53] <Apachez> Billiard ?
[20:54] <Apachez> Billiard: how ?
[20:54] <burzki> synx, so it must be something of the disc
[20:54] <Scunizi> BluesKaj: pretty close.. apt-get was just shorter for me to type :)
[20:54] <Billiard> Apachez: same as connecting to a protected one, just wony ask for a password
[20:54] <Apachez> but it forces me to choose of   WEP, WPA, WPA2
[20:54] <airtonix> switch10_, http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/gconf-6.html.en
[20:54] <Apachez> there is no "NONE" to select in the dropdown
[20:54] <burzki> synx, i presume you do not have the alternate .. ?

[20:57] <gp5st> ortsvo: yeah
[20:57] <done_`> burzki hey can someone help me  got problem during compile  http://pastebin.com/m432723ea anyone can help thx
[20:57] <gp5st> jamed: yeah, that's prob it:(
[20:57] <gp5st> i'm trying to install the intel compilers v 11.1
[20:57] <gp5st> and this program keeps failing
[20:58] <gp5st> but they distribute the ia64 version of this helper program in the intel64 package but they use the 32bit one
[20:58] <airtonix> !who
[20:58] <gp5st> and i just need the frakin' libs
[20:58] <gp5st> airtonix: everyone
[20:58] <airtonix> gp5st, read the msg from the bot .
[20:59] <Jamed> gp5st: well, if it really is the problem, you can do nothing but get a 64bit version
[20:59] <maria__> hello.  Why is there no proprietary driver listed in hardware driver settings for graphic card?  I have no 3d acceleration.  Flash playback is very bad.
[20:59] <Apachez> Billiard: so ehm.. any ideas ?
[20:59] <paissad-hp> hi
[20:59] <eut> hello
[20:59] <gp5st> airtonix: read what i wrote you
[20:59] <eut> how can i manually start the bluetooth applet?
[20:59] <Scunizi> maria__: what kind of card do you have?
[20:59] <gp5st> jamed: yeah:
[20:59] <Billiard> Apachez: idk, do you have network manager running, can you just choose a network from the list?
[20:59] <maria__> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500]
[20:59] <Toxic_Burn> eut:do you have installed bluetooth applet?
[20:59] <airtonix> gp5st, what is your point ?
[20:59] <Jamed> gp5st: or i think there was some lib for 32bit programms in 64bit, never used it though
[20:59] <Apachez> Billiard: only encrypted nets shows up
[21:00] <Apachez> but using airodump-ng and kismet I see several unencrypted nets around
[21:00] <eut> Toxic_Burn, well.. i believe that its installed by default (always has been in the past)
[21:00] <gp5st> airtonix, i was explaining my prolem with the intel compilers hoping someone would have ha the problem and asolution, it wasn't directed at any one person
[21:00] <Billiard> Apachez: idk, ive never had that problem
[21:00] <eut> Toxic_Burn, any idea what the name of the executable is?
[21:00] <Apachez> ohh
[21:00] <maria__> Scunizi, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500]
[21:00] <Apachez> you are supposed to select WEP and leave the password field empty
[21:00] <Toxic_Burn> eut:bluetooth-applet
[21:00] <gp5st> jamed: it's just annoying this is all suppose to be supported:-\
[21:00] <Scunizi> maria__: if you've done all your update and there's no driver listed then it may be possible that your card isn't compatible with Xorg7.1 and ATI's changes in their driver.. they have left some cards in the proverbial dust.
[21:00] <r00t_> hi
[21:00] <r00t_> can help me?
[21:00] <gp5st> jamed: thanks though
[21:01] <eut> Toxic_Burn, guess i dont have it installed :o
[21:01] <Scunizi> maria__: google your card and ubuntu and see what others are saying about it.
[21:01] <eut> Toxic_Burn, thanks!
[21:01] <maria__> Scunizil, are you saying in need to buy a newer card?
[21:01] <Toxic_Burn> eut:do you know how to install it?
[21:01] <burzki> !ask | r00t_
[21:01] <done_`> what does this error refer to everytime i compile something: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `kernel/bounds.c', needed by `kernel/bounds.s'.  Stop.
[21:02] <Scunizi> maria__: no.. but you might need to.. depends on if ATI is supporting your card with xorg 7.1+
[21:02] <eut> Toxic_Burn, yes i know how to install things. however, i see that it is provided by both gnome-bluetooth and bluez-gnome, which to install?
[21:02] <maria__> k, ill look around
[21:02] <r00t_> ubottu
[21:02] <r00t_> only english?
[21:02] <Toxic_Burn> eut:i installed gnome-bluetooth and bluez-gnome...:D
[21:03] <burzki> r00t_, what's your language?
[21:03] <eut> Toxic_Burn, ok, thanks for the recommendations :]
[21:03] <r00t_> italian
[21:03] <burzki> r00t_, #ubuntu-it

[21:08] <frankely> i installed amsn
[21:08] <frankely> but i compiled
[21:08] <synx> burzki: I have the desktop CD.
[21:09] <frankely> i download the tar.gz and follow the instructions of the install file, but now i want to remove it
[21:09] <Scunizi> !compile | frankely  this link may have into on doing that.. something like make uninstall
[21:09] <mike3> i'm going to kill somebody. :) I keep gtting a update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-26-server when trying to install linux-server
[21:10] <guntbert> frankely: it *should* come with a target uninstall too, so you cd into the same directory where you installed from and type make uninstall
[21:10] <eshat> Why are /dev/bus/usb/* owned by root and not by plugdev? Did I forget any package ?
[21:10] <frankely> let me see
[21:12] <technoviking> IS there a UNR meta package? I have to use the lpia alternative CD to install UNR on my netbook
[21:12] <MuSHRooM_> Hi
[21:12] <MuSHRooM_> Do you know a way I can run GNOME on Kubuntu?
[21:13] <bstmi> when I uninstall a program using sudo apt-get remove very less memory is freed as compared the memory it uses while installation( ubuntu 9.04 )..what's the reason?
[21:13] <lazydragoon> how we put a cedega shorcut on the desktop someone know ?
[21:14] <switch10_> bstmi: it is not installing the dependant packages
[21:14] <switch10_> *uninstalling
[21:14] <jelly-bean> isnt there a command to look up a machine's hostname on the local network?
[21:14] <jelly-bean> if you have its ip?
[21:14] <bstmi> thanks
[21:15] <eshat> Is /dev/bus/usb/* owned by plugdev group, anyone? I just don't understand why it is owned by root group on my box...
[21:15] <switch10_> bstmi: aptitude should do it.  Havent found a good way to get apt-get to do it properly
[21:15] <darksector> lazydragoon: go to applications and cadega option and right click cadega and add to desktop
[21:15] <Phil___> ubuntu doesn't want to let me display more than 640x400 resolution on one monitor.. any idea why?
[21:15] <switch10_> bstmi: which is kind of annoying
[21:15] <Billiard> eshat: i believe it depends on the type of device plugged in
[21:15] <done_`> i need to install linux-source so to compile ? thx
[21:16] <guntbert> !compile | done_`

[21:19] <mogens> I have tried to look into the group and user policies and too me it looks fine
[21:19] <guntbert> done_`: what are you trying to compile?
[21:20] <mogens> wiithon
[21:20] <done_`> guntbert ipp2p
[21:20] <mogens> it works without problems....

[21:21] <newbie003> hi, I'm trying to have multiple history files in bash, Ive created a script to copy over the .bash_history file with a new file, next I perform the history -r command. This works when typing at the shell, however it fails when I put this in a script (no error just as the bash script exists I lose context *or something*)  Any ideas?
[21:21] <sint_> hey i have installed mpd and i am quite happy with it. but i have no other sounds left, when running it. how can i get the sound back?
[21:22] <mogens> ehm... did I not tell correct what the problem was ?
[21:22] <guntbert> done_`: not sure, but in xtables-addons-common there seems to be a program ipp2p - have a look at that
[21:22] <mogens> wiithon will not run due to permissions
[21:22] <Puto> is it possible to install ubuntu on a playstation 3 with a 64-bit userland?
[21:22] <xover> guys im having SAVAGE flash performance, whats the issue?
[21:23] <xover> Puto: what do you mean by 'userlamd'?
[21:23] <VCoolio> xover: flash being closed-source
[21:23] <brummbaer> puto: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_for_PlayStation_3#Ubuntu
[21:23] <done_`> guntbert how to check the  xtables-addons-common ?
[21:23] <xover> its dogturd performance, i cant even play 'slime volleyball' without losing frames
[21:23] <vasi_45m> kl
[21:23] <Puto> brummbaer: main libraries, GUI, etc... as 64-bit binaries
[21:24] <Puto> as opposed to a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit binaries like most ps3 linux distros seem to have
[21:24] <guntbert> !info xtables-addons-common | done_` (not sure if that is what you want though)
[21:24] <neur0tic> can someone tell me why synaptic wont download multiple files at once, and how do i enable this feature?
[21:24] <Puto> the wikipedia page doesn't state anything about whether the binaries are ppc64 or ppc32
[21:24] <Scunizi> Puto: the slim model doesn't support installing an alternate os... fyi
[21:24] <guntbert> done_`: install it, try the command you need,....
[21:24] <Puto> my PS3 isn't slim
[21:24] <mogens> none who got a clue what i can do to solve my problem ?
[21:25] <xover> Neurotic, you cannot, its a safety feature, so as not to fsck your system when installing dependant packages.
[21:25] <xover> mogens, wtbcm is wiithon?
[21:25] <neur0tic> xover: installation can be done later, downloading multiple files shudnt be a problem , i suppose
[21:26] <mogens> it is a program to run wbfs (wii) filesystem under linux / ubuntu
[21:26] <zleap> cool
[21:26] <sjefen6> how do I kill applications in ubuntu (with the shell)?
[21:26] <xover> do you have VSAT or something?
[21:26] <zleap> sjefen6, kill
[21:26] <Billiard> sjefen6 kill
[21:26] <zleap> or man kill for more info on kill
[21:26] <Scunizi> sjefen6: kill <pid number>
[21:26] <brummbaer> sjefen6 or pkill, or kill -9 if you're got the pid
[21:26] <mogens> neurotic : https://launchpad.net/wiithon
[21:27] <neur0tic> xover: i have a multihomed system , so its a real speedup if i use multiple downloads
[21:27] <mogens> xover : https://launchpad.net/wiithon
[21:27] <zleap> sjefen6, use in conjunction with ps -aux to get the pid of the program you want to kill
[21:27] <brummbaer> sjefen6: or easiest killall <app>
[21:27] <sjefen6> ok, thanks :D
[21:27] <zomGreg>  combine kill with pgrep: kill `pgrep firefox`
[21:27] <bstmi> sjefen6: type top to get pid ...then kill <pid>
[21:28] <neur0tic> any comments ?
[21:28] <aperson> zomGreg, pgreap firefox | xargs kill
[21:28] <aperson> pgrep*
[21:28] <Billiard> zomGreg: why do that when you have pkill
[21:28] <mogens> question : if i logged in as the user Mogens and started a terminal program... what permissions do i give a program which where the user should be member of the group disk ?
[21:28] <zomGreg> why do anything any way at all? because you can...
[21:28] <xover> neurotic what is multihoming?
[21:28] <Billiard> zomGreg: because thats more typing
[21:29] <neur0tic> xover: i have multiple internet connections, each with a separate ip. thats multihoming
[21:29] <Scunizi> xover: that's when you're from a split family and are standing in the middle of the street contemplating what direction to walk :)
[21:29] <WinfredNg> Hi,I want to use VPN on Ubuntu, Any idea? Thanks
[21:29] <aperson> is there a reasonable way to remove cups without breaking anything?
[21:29] <neur0tic> Scunizi: hahaha
[21:30] <Billiard> aperson: use the package manager?
[21:30] <aperson> Billiard, it also wants to remove a bunch of other things along with install another package
[21:30] <mogens> damn.... is there someone who would be nice to help on some for u simple permission problems... i have tried seberal times but can't find the error
[21:30] <daftykins> mogens don't ask to ask, just ask away
[21:30] <Billiard> mogens: whats the prob
[21:31] <Billiard> aperson: idk, removing using the package manager should be fine
[21:31] <xover> neurotic, are you saying you have two links on that system to the Internet?
[21:31] <aperson> Billiard, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/343823/

[21:32] <xover> you have ten network cards in one system?
[21:32] <mogens> wiithon says user need to be member of the group disk
[21:32] <mogens> and of what i can see the user is
[21:32] <Billiard> aperson: try apt-get remove --purge cups  ?
[21:32] <neur0tic> xover: no :P just 10 different ips on the same wire... u know what i mean ?
[21:32] <mogens> i installed wiithon with the following commands :
[21:32] <Billiard> mogens: type groups
[21:32] <Billiard> mogens: are you a member of disk
[21:33] <newbie003> hi, I'm trying to have multiple history files in bash, Ive created a script to copy over the .bash_history file with a new file, next I perform the history -r command. This works when typing at the shell, however it fails when I put this in a script (no error just as the bash script exists I lose context *or something*)  Any ideas?
[21:33] <xover> mogen: gpasswd -a username disk
[21:33] <newbie003> I need to execute outside of the subshell from within a subshell
[21:33] <xover> your using sub interfaces?

[21:34] <doomsword> hello
[21:34] <mogens> xover : error : gpasswd: user 'Mogens' does not exist
[21:34] <Billiard> mogens: sudo usermod -aG disk username
[21:34] <doomsword> can any1 help me with grub2?
[21:35] <Billiard> doomsword: what is the problem
[21:35] <h4f1> Firefox becomes soooo annoying . it freezes nearly on each page. any solution to that ?
[21:35] <Scunizi> !grub2 | doomsword
[21:35] <neur0tic> morgens: u should use ur own username
[21:35] <lordneo> need help to fix this http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e173/LordNeoZ/screenshot.jpg
[21:35] <mogens> billiard : gpasswd: user 'Mogens' does not exist
[21:35] <xover> mogens, if you need to be a member of a group use: gpasswd -a 'your username' 'the group you want to add'
[21:35] <kfizz1> h4fi, has this always happened or just recently?
[21:35] <Billiard> mogens: what?
[21:35] <doomsword> installed sabayon without installing new boot loader on sda2 , and have ubuntu on sda1, i run update-grub2, founds gentoo based os, but doesnt add in the menu
[21:35] <switch10_> h4f1: uninstall some plugins...
[21:35] <kfizz1> h4fi, it may be a bad extension, have you tried disabling extensions and seeing if Firefox still has issue
[21:35] <Billiard> mogens: i didnt tell you to use gpasswd, maybe your username is 'mogens'
[21:36] <mogens> billiard : usermod: user 'Mogens' does not exist
[21:36] <xover> neur0tic: why do you want to download more than one package? Your bandwidth is limited at WAN level right!
[21:36] <Billiard> mogens: its case sensitive
[21:36] <mogens> fuck im confused now
[21:36] <maco> mogens: please dont swear
[21:36] <Billiard> mogens: how are you confused? your username is probably all lowercase
[21:36] <mogens> how do i find out of that ?
[21:36] <h4f1> switch10_: I have just few installled. I heard its some how related to ipv6 but missed the link about that
[21:37] <Billiard> mogens: it tells you in the prompt what your username is
[21:37] <mogens> system -> administrations -> users and groups ?
[21:37] <neur0tic> xover: i do not want to download more than 1 package, i want to simultaneously download the files in 'a' package, so that i get 32 * 10 = 320 KB/s instead of the current 32KB/s
[21:37] <Billiard> mogens: "whoami"
[21:37] <mogens> answer mogens
[21:37] <kfizz1> mogens 'echo $USER'
[21:37] <mogens> needs to be member of disk
[21:37] <Billiard> mogens: run the command i told you before to add yourself to the disk group
[21:38] <neur0tic> morgens: type morgens, not Morgens, its case sensitive
[21:38] <switch10_> h4f1: some of those plugins do more bad than good...  I personally don't use any
[21:38] <xover> neur0tic, what is your WAN link speed?
 i install xtables-addons-common, where i can modiy ipp2p?
[21:38] <done_`> modify*
[21:38] <neur0tic> xover: 100Mbps
[21:38] <mogens> billiard : sudo usermod -aG disk username ?
[21:38] <Billiard> mogens: yes
[21:38] <airtonix> neur0tic, i don;t think it is possible to make apt use multiple tcp threads
[21:38] <lesouvage> sudo tail -f /var/log/asterisk/messages | grep "Registration from 'IMSI" | <script to run> doesn't seem to work . The idea is that  "Registration from 'IMSI" is the trigger to run the script. Any suggestion?
[21:38] <neur0tic> xover: no, sorry its 32KB/s per IP
[21:39] <mogens> billiard : done
[21:39] <lordneo> please, i need help configuring wine (http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e173/LordNeoZ/screenshot.jpg)
[21:39] <kfizz1> For some reason Banshee is scanning my entire home directory for media files even though I've only specified through the preferences to only use my Music directory for music and Videos directory for videos...any ideas?
[21:39] <neur0tic> xover: my LAN link speed is 100mbps
[21:39] <Billiard> mogens: then type groups, and disk should be listed
[21:39] <guntbert> done_`: not sure - I only found the name to try it
[21:39] <xover> is your routing dishing out that 32k optimistion?
[21:39] <neur0tic> airtonix: any kind of override ?  i dont care if its manual
[21:39] <airtonix> neur0tic, short of creating your own apt-get ?
[21:39] <neur0tic> xover: i dont get you. please refreame
[21:39] <Segaja> hi, on older ubuntu version the startup splash screen had a progress bar, which showed how far the boot was. on ubuntu 9.10 i only see a black screen with a white ubuntu logo on it and the console box with the messages
[21:40] <kfizz1> neur0tic: this script might speed things up some: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818619 It's a script called "apt-fast" and you use it just like apt-get, I used it back in the day whenever my internet connection was a lot slower
[21:40] <Segaja> is that black screen the normal ubuntu 9.10 boot screen?
[21:40] <airtonix> neur0tic, actually have a look at something called multiget
[21:40] <mogens> Billiard : mogens adm dialout fax cdrom tape audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev admin sambashare
[21:40] <mogens> billiard : still the error in program
[21:40] <switch10_> Segaja: mine isn't black..
[21:40] <Billiard> mogens: sorry you have to log out and log back in
[21:40] <neur0tic> airtonix: ok, multiget, i'lll look that up, but does it blend with the very nice gui synaptic package manager /
[21:40] <airtonix> neur0tic, no idea
[21:40] <doomsword> whatever
[21:41] <xover> what is determining the link speed of 32Kbps?
[21:41] <neur0tic> kfizz1: ok checking that up
[21:41] <switch10_> Segaja: kind of a brown color
[21:41] <mogens> billiard : ... from the user or just from the terminal ?
[21:41] <VCoolio> Segaja: it is like you say, and it's not usplash anymore
[21:41] <mogens> or ?
[21:41] <Segaja> switch10_: my splash is just black with a white ubuntu logo
[21:41] <neur0tic> xover: my isp is determining the 32KB/s
[21:41] <Billiard> mogens: pretty sure user
[21:41] <mogens> or reboot ?
[21:41] <mezquitale> how do you share a folder with virtualbox using xp?
[21:41] <Billiard> mogens: just log out your user
[21:41] <mogens> ok ill be back
[21:41] <Segaja> switch10_: than what is wrong with mine?
[21:42] <switch10_> mezquitale: under settings in VBox
[21:42] <xover> why do you have 10 links from your ISP?
[21:42] <mezquitale> switch10_, do i have to share my folder in ubuntu?
[21:42] <switch10_> mezquitale: then in xp its under network..
[21:42] <Scunizi> mezquitale: share it in the os first then in Vbox under settings.
[21:42] <switch10_> mezquitale: nope
[21:42] <switch10_> Scunizi: i never had to
[21:43] <Scunizi> switch10_: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#sharedfolders
[21:43] <mezquitale> Scunizi, I want to access a folder in the host(ubuntu), basically I want to use my files that are stored in my ubuntu machine from within virtualbox
[21:43] <switch10_> Scunizi: worked for me..
[21:43] <drunkpunk> any body offer any help getting usb tv-stick to play nice with karmic?
[21:43] <Scunizi> mezquitale: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#sharedfolders
[21:43] <Billiard> drunkpunk: is your device supported?
[21:43] <neur0tic> xover: ahh well, im in my office, and i need that kind of speed. i have a proxy setup, which round-robins over the 10 links. my isp, does not give connections over 256kbps. so i had to buy 10 links to get 3.2mbps and setup a socks5 proxy (self written) to round robin over the ips
[21:44] <dasunsrule32> I need help, I am running karmic on a Dell Dimension 9150, I rebooted and now my PC will not boot. It has a nvidia 6800. It gets to the gdm screen, right after the white ubuntu logo. I cannot access recovery mode of teh hard drive. I can access through rescue mode from an alt install cd
[21:44] <drunkpunk> well, according to the packaging, it fo xp n vista
[21:44] <dasunsrule32> and help would be awesome!
[21:44] <Seven_Six_Two> How can I get the 10.04 alpha?
[21:44] <lordneo> please help me with this: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e173/LordNeoZ/screenshot.jpg
[21:44] <mezquitale> switch10_, Scunizi im going to try it first switch10_ 's way, I remember I could do it without having to share my folder, there's an issue either with vista or winwdows7 where you have to share the folder in ubuntu first, let me try it out first
[21:44] <Billiard> drunkpunk: check http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/List_of_Device_Vendors
[21:44] <guntbert> !lucid | Seven_Six_Two
[21:45] <Seven_Six_Two> guntbert, thanks
[21:45] <guntbert> Seven_Six_Two: have fun :)
[21:45] <switch10_> mezquitale: I do it this way and it works fine.  I share my whole /home/dave/Music folder
[21:45] <Some_Person> My sound goes all weird in some games (like supertuxkart and supertux)
[21:45] <neur0tic> xover: so the thing is , as soon as i can tell synaptic to get 10 files at once, using a proxy, i get 10 times the speed. 1 file , means, just 1x speed.
[21:46] <switch10_> mezquitale: it is a little tricky to get find the folder in XP though
[21:46] <xover> neur0tic: sounds cool, so your saying that is application specific, i.e. if you did a wget you would get your 3.2meg?
[21:46] <scorpey_> and
[21:46] <drunkpunk> Billiard: cheers but no joy there :-( luckily was cheap
[21:46] <switch10_> mezquitale: go to start>Run type in explorer.  and your folder will be under network>vbox
[21:47] <neur0tic> xover: no, if  i did a wget, with 10 'segements' , i would get 3.2mbps
[21:47] <airtonix> neur0tic, actually you'll still download one file at the same speed (i also notice synaptics does apt-get update in tcp multithread mode but apt-get install in single thread mode) what you mean is that by multi threading your downloads you'll spend less time downloading your list of files overall
[21:48] <neur0tic> airtonix: Exactly !
[21:48] <mezquitale> switch10_, i dont believe you have to share the folder, i have another setup in my laptop and im not sharing the folder
[21:48] <switch10_> mezquitale: same here
[21:49] <airtonix> neur0tic, there is a firefox plugin i used to use to do a similar thing that actually did increase download speeds for one file due to the way properly configured servers would respond to multipart downloads, its called "downthemall"
[21:49] <neur0tic> airtonix:  i have that download manager , but then how do i integrate it with synaptic ? See thats the question, i want to make my upgradation faster.
[21:50] <mezquitale> switch10_, i found it, i dont have to create a network share in ubuntu, I can go into virtualbox itself and share it there, from there on once I boot into the virtual machine I can connect to it use net use command
[21:50] <lordneo> wich one is the spanish channel?
[21:50] <burzki> Seven_Six_Two, lucid IRC @ #ubuntu+1 -- coming to you from the alpha just fine ;-)
[21:50] <lordneo> #ubuntu-es
[21:51] <Scunizi> yest
[21:51] <Scunizi> *yea
[21:51] <airtonix> neur0tic, my maximum downspeed is 2.4mbps and my ISP mirrors the entire ubuntu repo... so its only one node a way from me at my max speed and all software installs come down at max speed....never had a need to do such a thing.
[21:51] <burzki> dasunsrule32, f10 doesn't get you a boot menu at startup?
[21:51] <neur0tic> airtonix: ur lucky. where do u stay ?
[21:52] <LinuxGuy2009>  Im wondering if I get an iPod Touch 3rd Generation if I can somehow use it on Debian without the need for itunes? Anyone have one and knows?
[21:52] <dasunsrule32> burzki
[21:52] <fcuk112> my machines are not appearing in Network though i can ping them.  only thing it shows is "Windows Network" which is empty.  i could see all my machines previously.  anybody know what's going on?
[21:52] <dasunsrule32> let me try
[21:52] <neur0tic> airtonix: my isp dosent know the 'L' of linux :P
[21:52] <LinuxGuy2009> In ubuntu I meant to say. sorry
[21:52] <airtonix> neur0tic, have you had a look at the apt-fast script yet? seems to be what ou want (except that it probably won't work with synaptics)
[21:52] <kiren> well thats convenient it picked this channel automatically
[21:52] <osasuna> momoooooooooooooomomomomomomomomomomomom
[21:52] <dasunsrule32> burzki: i get the grub menu fine
[21:52] <Scunizi> kiren: welcome.. please deposit $1 in paypal for continued support
[21:53] <osasuna> fine yo si k stoy fine
[21:53] <neur0tic> airtonix: i am taking a look, just that i was looking for a more 'native' way.. i mean, synaptics is a great package manager, it should be configurable
[21:53] <osasuna> az<saxdf
[21:53] <xover> neut0tic: waht country are you from?
[21:53] <dasunsrule32> burzki: my problem, is it hanges when trying to boot, just past the white logo and also recovery mode
[21:54] <neur0tic> xover: suburbs of mumbai, india :)
[21:54] <dasunsrule32> burzki: i suspect it is the nvida drivers, however, i can't do anything
[21:54] <dasunsrule32> to verify
[21:54] <burzki> LinuxGuy2009, not to my knowledge.  ;-(
[21:54] <kiren> so I haven't really used linux since they started using X.org.... where do you edit the xconfig now?
[21:55] <burzki> dasunsrule32, is this a new install?
[21:55] <Scunizi> kiren: trying to get better resolution?
[21:55] <xover> i hope you fix your problem.
[21:55] <dasunsrule32> burzki: no
[21:55] <fcuk112> kiren: you mean /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[21:55] <aperson> kiren, xorg.conf
[21:55] <kiren> yep, only shows up to 1164x852
[21:56] <burzki> dasunsrule32, just out of the blue??
[21:56] <kiren> though its a 1600x1200 LCD
[21:56] <Scunizi> kiren: fcuk112 aperson in 9.04+ xrandr controls the display.. xorg.conf is essentially blank
[21:56] <LinuxGuy2009> burzki: You dont happen to know what the whole SSH stuff is for with the iPod Touchs do you? I have no clue what SSH is even for.
[21:56] <aperson> kiren, it isn't there by default, but if you create it, the changes made there will be respected
[21:56] <dasunsrule32> burzki: the only changes, were installing vmware yesterday, and reinstalling my nvidia-glx-185 drivers
[21:56] <aperson> Scunizi, I realize this
[21:56] <Segaja> my boot screen just looks like this: http://cdn.cbsi.com.au/story_media/339299234/ubuntu-910-karmic-koala_1.jpg and at the bottom are the messages scralling by because i have removed the quit statement from the bootline
[21:56] <Segaja> is that the normal ubuntu boot screen?
[21:56] <Scunizi> kiren: what kind of card do you have?
[21:56] <kiren> radeon x300
[21:56] <fcuk112> my machines are not appearing in Network though i can ping them.  only thing it shows is "Windows Network" which is empty.  i could see all my machines previously.  anybody know what's going on?  this is happening now on 2 ubuntu 9.10 machines.
[21:56] <dasunsrule32> burzki: my network connections dropped, and i restarted teh services, but i coulnt connect
[21:57] <kiren> whats xrandr?
[21:57] <neur0tic> airtonix: apt-fast seems, good, but will apt-get honour system proxy settings ?
[21:57] <dasunsrule32> burzki: so i restarted the pc, came up and the nvidia drivers were not working
[21:57] <aperson> Segaja, that's the grub screen
[21:57] <Scunizi> kiren: do all your updates then look in System>Admin>Hardware drivers for a driver to activate.. if it's not there then check if ATI is supporting your card with xorg7.1+
[21:57] <airtonix> neur0tic, i can;t remember ( ithink it does)
[21:57] <neur0tic> airtonix: because it uses multiple apt-gets internally
[21:57] <zleap> kiren, man xrandr
[21:57] <neur0tic> aitronix: worth a try !
[21:57] <ctmjr> !info xrandr | kiren
[21:58] <Scunizi> !xrandr | kiren
[21:58] <burzki> dasunsrule32, ah.  can you get to a teminal line?
[21:58] <dasunsrule32> burzki: i reinstalled teh nvidia-glx185 drivers, and then rebooted, not i can't boot to gnome and cannot acess recovery mode
[21:58] <aperson> neur0tic, it will honor proxy settings
[21:58] <aperson> neur0tic, at least apt-get does afaik
[21:58] <Scunizi> kiren: but it also controls resolution
[21:58] <dasunsrule32> burzki: i cannot
[21:58] <kiren> ah
[21:58] <neur0tic> aperson: ahh great, trying it out now :)
[21:58] <dasunsrule32> burzki: only via rescue mode on teh alt install cd
[21:58] <Scunizi> dasunsrule32: did you install the binary from nvidia or the one from the repos?
[21:58] <burzki> dasunsrule32, ok.  sorry, it's probably beyond me then .. ;-|
[21:59] <dasunsrule32> Scunizi: the rrpos
[21:59] <Segaja> aperson: woot? that is after the grub and if i remove the splash keyword from the boot line it is gone. so that makes it clearly ubunu to me
[21:59] <dasunsrule32> i need my PC for HUGE orject tomorrow too
[21:59] <dasunsrule32> :-(
[21:59] <kiren> well x300 is dropped from the newest ati driver I know, but I had the same problem using an nvidia 7xxx card, which was supported and using the drivers. giving the article a look
[22:00] <Scunizi> dasunsrule32: that's weird... that shouldn''t have happened.. can you get to a command line prompt?
[22:00] <dasunsrule32> Scunizi: only via rescue mode
[22:00] <Scunizi> dasunsrule32: from there you might try ... sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[22:00] <dasunsrule32> Scunizi: it hangs in recovery mode
[22:00] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, do you need 3D features, or just 2D ?
[22:00] <dasunsrule32> i just need it running
[22:00] <dasunsrule32> lol
[22:00] <dasunsrule32> let me boot to rescue mode
[22:01] <dasunsrule32> on the alt install cd
[22:01] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, try using the nv driver instead of the nvidia driver
[22:01] <dasunsrule32> it's not that simple
[22:01] <burzki> LinuxGuy2009, do not.  i think ssh is for accessing jailbroken phones .. some linux apps can get photos and other apps off the Touch, but no music.  others can get music off old ipods, but not the touch.  maybe scour the forums for more ..
[22:01] <dasunsrule32> I can't access the internet
[22:01] <dasunsrule32> rescue mode doesn't have inet
[22:01] <boscop_> how can I execute a cmd without putting it into bash history?
[22:01] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, why do you need resue mode?
[22:02] <dragon> !macbook
[22:02] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: it hangs in recovery mode
[22:02] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, can you boot to single user mode?
[22:02] <dasunsrule32> how
[22:02] <dasunsrule32> ?
[22:02] <dasunsrule32> can i force it?
[22:03] <dasunsrule32> i have full access to the grub shell at the beginning
[22:03] <jcdutton> can you get into grub. You just need to add an option that has the word "single" in the linux line
[22:04] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: i used the kernel option of single
[22:04] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: it's not hanging this time
[22:04] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, so you can get to a root command prompt ?
[22:04] <dasunsrule32> finally
[22:05] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, are you using ethernet cables or wireless.
[22:05] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: i am at ctl-d
[22:05] <dasunsrule32> ether
[22:05] <dasunsrule32> eth0
[22:05] <burzki> jcdutton, thx w/ dasunsrule32
[22:05] <dasunsrule32> i tried all this earlier and it wouldn't work
[22:05] <dasunsrule32> sigh
[22:05] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, is it asking for a password? or are you at the prompt now
[22:05] <dasunsrule32> i entered teh password and am at a shell
[22:06] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, run "dhclient3"
[22:06] <tbh__> leave
[22:06] <dasunsrule32> i have an ip address
[22:06] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, that should get you an IP address and get you on the internet
[22:06] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ?
[22:07] <dasunsrule32> let me look
[22:07] <dasunsrule32> yes
[22:07] <q_> .
[22:07] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: it is using the Xinerama
[22:07] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, make a backup of that file. Then edit it, and look for "nvidia" and replace it with "nv"
[22:08] <sj4m35-15> sup?
[22:08] <aperson> !hi | sj4m35-15
[22:08] <occy> hey guys... not sure if anyone is here or not... that had the slow background setting thing.
[22:08] <sebsebseb> hi
[22:08] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: done

[22:09] <epoxy|werk> how to get video in lynx?
[22:09] <jcdutton> aptitude search xserver-xorg-video-nv
[22:09] <occy> But when I just re-re-installed...  I did something different.  I apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade  _BEFORE_ I installed my nvidia drivers and WIN!
[22:09] <jcdutton> does it say I or P next to it?
[22:09] <occy> I no longer have that problem.
[22:09] <sebsebseb> epoxy|werk: Lucid Lynx, or the text browser Lynx?
[22:09] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: for some reason it has other versions of the nvidia driver installed
[22:09] <occy> Not sure who all had the issue, but I'm sure it may go a long way toward helping those who have that bug.
[22:09] <occy> :D
[22:10] <sj4m35-15> epoxy|werk: have you tried VLC?
[22:10] <boscop_> how can I execute a cmd without putting it into bash history?
[22:10] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-nv
[22:10] <occy> dragon: wait for it before spamming the macros ;)
[22:10] <dasunsrule32> i am reinstalling the nvidia drivers, after clearing all the others
[22:11] <mrabti> hello I've installed ubuntu on my Acer Aspire One and when  I shut it down and start It it's stuck on Grub
[22:11] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, do you mean the nvidia drivers, or the nv drivers?
[22:11] <mrabti> To get to ubuntu i must Force it and start it again
[22:11] <dasunsrule32> I use dual moitors
[22:11] <mrabti> Who can help Me
[22:11] <dasunsrule32> the vnvidia
[22:11] <dragon> occy: I've no clue what you're talking about in your messages. Your use of Enter key as punctuation is making your text qualify as spam.
[22:11] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, nv should be able to handle that
[22:11] <boscop_> sometimes vlc or opera allocate all the ram choking my system. how can I automatically kill the app that has allocated the most space when the overall ram usage exceeds a certain point?? is it possible to set global RAM limits with ulimit?
[22:12] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: what is it to clear the apt cache?
[22:12] <occy> Dragon I was simply trying to help.  Perhaps it's my pathetic public education... but whatever, Sorry for bothering you.
[22:12] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, at least get the nv driver working, for recovery reasons
[22:12] <dasunsrule32> ok
[22:12] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, aptitude autoclean

[22:22] <sj4m35-15> t0rc: what's buggy about it?
[22:22] <burzki> sergi, if it aint broke dont fix it
[22:23] <Some_Person> Ubuntu won't detect line in/external microphone
[22:23] <sj4m35-15> burzki: if it isn't broken do not fix it.
[22:23] <sergi> check the drivers
[22:23] <burzki> sj4m35-15, read around .. loads of folks having issues
[22:23] <done_`> can anyone help me with this : http://pastebin.com/m5535b19e ?
[22:23] <epinky> sergi: devian, is that a new distro?
[22:23] <sj4m35-15> burzki: what exactly are the issues?
[22:24] <sj4m35-15> burzki: name one...
[22:24] <burzki> sj4m35-15, not the effing grammar channel.  all ot

[22:25] <burzki> sj4m35-15, good enough ;-)
[22:25] <epinky> sergi: maybe a new Debian based distro?
[22:25] <burzki> sj4m35-15, from what i hear, many folks having grub issues, nvidia
[22:26] <sergi> o i must write debian
[22:26] <epinky> XD
[22:26] <Shishire> epinky: it's the latest super-villian debian clone.  It's designed to work perfectly until superheroes come along, and then it shuts itself down, taking security with it.
[22:27] <digitalaxis> Hello
[22:27] <BioShock^> hi
[22:27] <digitalaxis> Is this the support channel?
[22:27] <BioShock^> http://radio2.zapto.org:8000/listen.pls
[22:27] <Alan502> !ask | digitalaxis
[22:27] <sergi> well... it will be...
[22:27] <ardchoille> !ot
[22:27] <itamarjp> digitalaxis: ask,
[22:27] <digitalaxis> alan502, i was simply making sure this was the correct place to ask.
[22:28] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: thank you
[22:28] <dasunsrule32> I got it
[22:28] <plouffe> I loaded empathy once, set up an account, next times I start it loads, logs in the user, but there is no GUI anywhere.
[22:28] <t0rc> sj4m35-15, multiple things. SPDIF output, gnome-do freezes X11 on boot randomly (seems to be related to compiz), Bluez is somewhat broken, you cannot configure themes for login screens, etc. as easily as before, networking does not correctly route requests when you have two cables plugged in (one LAN, one internet), etc.
[22:28] <digitalaxis> I have a couple questions, firstly: How do i know what architecture of "Cabextract" to download?
[22:28] <sj4m35-15> digitalaxis: what is your question?
[22:28] <plouffe> I keep killing it in system monitor, but every time, it loads without a GUI now
[22:28] <dasunsrule32> jcdutton: it had the nv driver loading while it was passing all the nvidia arguments
[22:29] <jcdutton> done_`, why would you want that?
[22:29] <digitalaxis> sj4m35-15: http://packages.debian.org/sid/cabextract is the page with the options
[22:29] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, So, you have X back again?
[22:29] <sergi> i have a dude? is this the frikipedia??? or is a standart chat?
[22:29] <t0rc> plouffe, did you click on the envelope at the top right and click on Empathy?
[22:29] <burzki> dasunsrule32, great
[22:29] <sergi> with multiple channels
[22:29] <dasunsrule32> i am fully running agin
[22:29] <plouffe> I clicked on the envelope but no empathy there
[22:29] <dasunsrule32> i ave not installed any additional drivers
[22:30] <Edxato> #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:30] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, Is it now using nv or nvidia drivers?
[22:30] <Shishire> I can't view my Configure Command on php with phpinfo().  Ubuntu 8.10 server," apt-get install php5  " PHP 5.2.6-2ubuntu4.2 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Apr 17 2009 14:44:11)
[22:30] <dasunsrule32> yet there were 73, 96, loaded too
[22:30] <dasunsrule32> nvidia
[22:30] <plouffe> also clicked on the username things and the pidgin icon
[22:30] <digitalaxis> Does anyone know how to get "VENTRILO" working on ubuntu 9.10?
[22:30] <dasunsrule32> i removed all the exisiting drivers, cleared apt's cache
[22:30] <dasunsrule32> and reinstalled the nvidia 185
[22:30] <dasunsrule32> corrected the xorg.conf
[22:30] <dasunsrule32> rebooted and im in
[22:30] <dasunsrule32> sigh
[22:30] <dasunsrule32> thanks
[22:30] <t0rc> digitalaxis, yes. Either install it in wine (look at appdb.winehq.com or download Mangler (www.mangler.org))
[22:30] <FloodBot4> dasunsrule32: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:31] <jcdutton> dasunsrule32, happy to help
[22:31] <digitalaxis> I heard if i download it in wine it wont work
[22:31] <dasunsrule32> shutp FloodBot4, i am excited here
[22:31] <dasunsrule32> lol
[22:31] <burzki> lol
[22:32] <digitalaxis> But i will try. How do i install something "IN" wine. I dont quite get it. I have WINE installed, but like what directory should i install windows files too for it to work
[22:32] <lawrence> help
[22:32] <lawrence> !help
[22:32] <Typh_> anyone know if there's anyway to manage panels without using the mouse?
[22:32] <t0rc> digitalaxis, I'm using it on my laptop and my desktop - which has an X-Fi, the royal pain of soundcards for ubuntu, and they both work.
[22:32] <trism> digitalaxis: you generally just run wine name_of_installer.exe, and if you install to the c:\ drive, it will install to ~/.wine/drive_c
[22:33] <t0rc> digitalaxis, just download and install mangler
[22:33] <t0rc> digitalaxis, its in early versions but PTT and such work fine and you can join ventrilo servers.
[22:33] <TheJeffsta> Can someone try help me get Quake 3 to have sound, looked on Google but still haven't got it
[22:33] <lawrence> quit
[22:33] <digitalaxis> t0rc: Is there a way for you to private chat me in IRC?
[22:33] <t0rc> digitalaxis, it'll avoid your need for dealing with wine and copying over files from windows and you can still talk to friends, etc. Plus the dev team is quite active.
[22:34] <t0rc> digitalaxis, yeah i sent you a PM.
[22:34] <tenach> :o

[22:34] <t0rc> mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahaha
[22:34] <dragon> not cool, FloodBots
[22:35] <wgrant> dragon: It's a netsplit. Not the FloodBots' fault.
[22:35] <switch10_> why does that happen every so often?
[22:36] <jcdutton> switch10_, It means one of the irc server failed
[22:36] <wgrant> switch10_: freenode has been suffering from a DDOS lately.
[22:36] <wgrant> So it's happening much more often than usual.
[22:36] <switch10_> oh

[22:40] <Nicekiwi9> no
[22:40] <Nicekiwi9> opps, how do u do that reply to username thing?
[22:40] <burzki> Nicekiwi9, did they work after the install?
[22:40] <epinky> Dragon: is there something unusual on /var/log/messages or apache's error log?
[22:40] <rapha> I need help with a graphics tablet ... all the howto's are for older Ubuntu versions - how do you get a Wacom tablet to work with 9.10 where there is no xorg.conf?

[22:40] <Nicekiwi9> nop
[22:40] <Nicekiwi9> nope
[22:41] <rapha> subito: yes, with Adobe Acrobat Writer
[22:41] <burzki> Nicekiwi9, were you able to run an update after then install?
[22:41] <Scunizi> subito: or perhaps with PDFEdit .. it's in the repos
[22:41] <dragon> epinky: I'll check. It's strange that apache starts with no errors when I do `service apache start`
[22:41] <Nicekiwi9> i can only use the lappy with a external USB keyboard and external USB mouse
[22:41] <baz> is there a way to remove that big black network port icon? I am on a wired connection and never need to play with it
[22:41] <Nicekiwi9> yes, fully updated, no change
[22:41] <subito> rapha: Scunizi: i need something command-line based to do that for a thousand of files

[22:42] <Scunizi> if you can figure it out

[22:42] <rapha> I need help with a graphics tablet ... all the howto's are for older Ubuntu versions - how do you get a Wacom tablet to work with 9.10 where there is no xorg.conf?
[22:42] <darthanubis> well specifically nautilus's samba broswing
[22:43] <alleykat> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[22:43] <alleykat> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[22:43] <Nicekiwi9> switch10_: ohhh thats how u do it xD
[22:43] <alleykat> when I do that it says I must run dpkg --help
[22:44] <switch10_> Nicekiwi9: here is the fix.  4th post down..  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953995
[22:44] <darthanubis> If I shut all the pcs down and reboot them the network is browseable, but who wants to keep doing that?
[22:44] <dragon> epinky: yes, some errors in apache's error log. I wonder why I'm able to start it manually.
[22:44] <alleykat> whats the command for a complete diskcheck & repair?
[22:45] <Nicekiwi9> yes i saw that fix on the forums b4 i can here, how ever the file menu.lst dose not exist for me :(
[22:45] <subito> Scunizi: then how can i delete the image using pdfedit?
[22:45] <epinky> dragon: if there's any error apache won't start at boot time, resolve all issues first
[22:46] <dragon> epinky: roger that
[22:46] <Scunizi> subito: I never really got into the cli part of the program.. it's listed on sourceforge.net .. there may be doc there or a link to the main site for the docs
[22:46] <Nicekiwi9> switch10_: yes i saw that fix on the forums b4 i can here, how ever the file menu.lst dose not exist for me :(
[22:46] <switch10_> Nicekiwi9: on sec..  u from NZ?

[22:49] <dragon> !ot
[22:49] <alleykat> Nicekiwi9, http://pastebin.org/66533 is an example (/boot/grub/)
[22:49] <Nicekiwi9> switch10_: ah the north island :P not where i thought, havent been to the north very much, looks pretty tho =)
[22:49] <alleykat> its a dualboot with win, but I think you'll get the idea
[22:50] <mMezquitale> anyone knows if you can hot plug USB devices into virtual box with xp as the guest OS?
[22:50] <alleykat> whats the command for a complete diskcheck & repair?
[22:50] <alleykat> ext4
[22:50] <subito> Scunizi: i've looked there http://pdfedit.petricek.net/en/documentation.html into User doc and Scripting API and looked at all the lines containing 'image' but none of them seems to be for removing all the images of a page
[22:50] <Nicekiwi9> alleykat: is that a dump of ur menu.lst?
[22:51] <alleykat> yup
[22:51] <alleykat> pretty much anyway, a copy I made a month ago
[22:51] <subito> Scunizi: maybe i said it wrong, i don't want to extract the images and save them, i want to remove them to obtain a new pdf file
[22:52] <alleykat> right now, when I boot up in ubuntu I get a load of I/O errors
[22:52] <Scunizi> subito: perhaps going the other direction.. extract the text and create a new pdf
[22:52] <alleykat> ..it does start but can't even run an update
[22:52] <Nicekiwi9> alleykat: how much of this will i need to change? as its for a dif kernel ans OS version than mine?
[22:52] <subito> Scunizi: hm ...
[22:53] <burzki> Nicekiwi9, did you check the last several post on the forum link? and the grub2 page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[22:53] <alleykat> change default to 1
[22:53] <alleykat> then line 133-139 I think :)
[22:53] <subito> Scunizi: but i'll still need exactly the same pdf file than the original one without the image, now if i search for 'extracting text pdf' in google i only find pdf to text converters
[22:54] <alleykat> whats the command for a complete diskcheck & repair?
[22:54] <Scunizi> subito: I would think pdfedit would also be able to do it.
[22:54] <epinky> alleykat: "fsck -fyv /dev/sdX" or use gparted check,  maybe you'll have to run that from LiveCD
[22:55] <Scunizi> subito: also you might look at postscript tools.. (just hunting for possibilities here.
[22:55] <subito> Scunizi: and should I look in User doc or Scripting API ?
[22:55] <Scunizi> subito: your choice.. I don't know
[22:56] <g0tcha> hey guys, can anyone help me install vmware vm tools in my ubuntu?
[22:56] <dragon> !anyone | g0tcha
[22:56] <alleykat> seems like it... only change I've made is booting up with my ext hdd attached :/
[22:57] <subito> i thought there would already some simple cli program like pdfstripimages and i would just had to call pdfstripimages myfile.pdf :D
[22:57] <n0dl> if I split a tar up could I still do incremental backups on the slices?
[22:57] <g0tcha> dragon, second part is the question
[22:57] <rephorm> I have a checkout branch of bzr tree from launchpad. How can I figure out which revision number corresponds to the currently released ubuntu package?
[22:57] <dragon> !details | g0tcha
[22:58] <Shishire> g0tcha: it means what part of the install are you having trouble with?
[22:58] <g0tcha> that makes more sense
[22:58] <g0tcha> i mean the second msg from ubottu
[22:58] <g0tcha> anyway,
[22:58] <systest> what replaced hcid in 9.10?
[22:58] <g0tcha> i have ubuntu 9.04 installed on vmware server 6.5
[22:59] <g0tcha> ive tried to install vmtools like the guide says but it doesnt work
[22:59] <dragon> !enter > g0tcha
[22:59] <switch10_> gotcha:  you mounted the ISO?
[22:59] <looter> if i have a program that is just extracted as a folder and can be run from anywhere where would I put this folder so that it woudl reside with my other programs and how would i make a shortcut for it?
[23:00] <Shishire> looter, generally, you don't put it with the rest of your programs, as they're in a protected part of the system.  Put it in a folder in ~/, and create a link on the desktop
[23:00] <Dougdoug4> Ok so it's like this.. Ubuntu Update Manager was bugging me to install like 164 updates
[23:00] <Dougdoug4> so i did
[23:00] <g0tcha> switch10_, yes i did
[23:01] <Dougdoug4> then it prompted me to reboot, which i did, but i walked away, and when i came back, vista was starting up, this has never happened before (I dual boot btw vista/ubuntu)
[23:01] <Dougdoug4> so i went ahead and did a little vista stuff
[23:01] <Dougdoug4> before restarting and going back to ubuntu
[23:01] <looter> Shishire, could you explain what you mean by a folder in ~/   ?  Is that in my home folder?  (as you can tell i'm still fairly new to the linux file system structure)
[23:01] <Dougdoug4> but when I go back, right after I select "Boot from first hard disk" and pick "UbuntU'
[23:01] <Dougdoug4> it loads some thing called the GNU GRUB manager?
[23:01] <Dougdoug4> and it won't load my ubuntu :\
[23:02] <geirha> looter: If the program is contained all in one folder, then it should be in /opt if you want it available for all users. If only you need to use it, put it in ~/ (your homefolder)
[23:02] <Shishire> ^^
[23:02] <switch10_> gotcha: what wont worK?
[23:02] <looter> ahh
[23:02] <Alan502> Dougdoug4, try to take your cd off the drive
[23:02] <Alan502> Dougdoug4, and reebot
[23:03] <Dougdoug4> i did
[23:03] <looter> geirha, I followed a tutorial taht explained to put it in /usr/local and then add a script to /usr/local/bin to be able to start the prog with a shorrtcut but I kept getting persmissionss errors.
[23:03] <Dougdoug4> it ran GNU Grub
[23:03] <Dougdoug4> beta version
[23:04] <rephorm> Is there an ubuntu developer channel?
[23:04] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: ok
[23:04] <Dougdoug4> Alan502 did my Ubuntu get overritten or something?
[23:04] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: are you seeing the menu with Ubuntu or not?
[23:04] <Dougdoug4> i see the windows boot manager
[23:04] <Dougdoug4> I select Ubuntu
[23:04] <Linera> Hello
[23:04] <Dougdoug4> then it heads straigth to GNU GRUB
[23:04] <geirha> looter: Normally, programs in linux are divided "all over" the filesystems. The documentation files are put in /usr/share/doc, libraries it uses in /usr/lib, the executables in /usr/bin. But if the program does not follow that standard, Then it should go in /opt/
[23:05] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: you did Wubi?
[23:05] <Dougdoug4> yes
[23:05] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: ok that explains it
[23:05] <Dougdoug4> so what be the officer problem?
[23:05] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: not sure exactly, but Wubi is not good in the long run, ok for trying, but not good in the long run.  in the long run real partitions are better, and you can convert a Wubi install into a real partition.
[23:06] <mMezquitale> im not as think as you drunk I am!
[23:06] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: are you in Vista now?
[23:06] <Dougdoug4> oh no
[23:06] <Linera> I'm new to linux. I'm running linux Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop with low ram. How can I tweak the os to run on the bare basics?
[23:06] <Dougdoug4> i'm using another computer
[23:06] <dragon> !xubuntu | Linera
[23:06] <geirha> looter: Do you have a link to that tutorial? and a link to the app in question may be helpful too
[23:06] <dragon> Linera: you'll need to run Xubuntu version for low RAM usage and all.
[23:06] <lesouvage> Can somebody please tell me why tail -f /var/log/asterisk/messages | grep "Registration from" |./test.sh   isn't working. The script at the end is working fine.
[23:06] <Flare183> !netsplit
[23:07] <Linera> I'm already running linux on this laptop
[23:07] <looter> geirha, http://www.fretsonfire.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25027
[23:07] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: load up Vista, and see if  Wubi is still  in the programs and features list or not,  I assume it is, but worth a quick check
[23:07] <mMezquitale> Linera, just inxtall xfce
[23:07] <Linera> huh?
[23:07] <Linera> xfce?
[23:07] <mMezquitale> Linera, they speak the same language

[23:07] <subito> hello, i would like to convert a pdf file to a tiff file without the original images of the pdf file (yes that's weird) Is there an easy way to do that?
[23:07] <ago_> ciao
[23:07] <ago_> hello
[23:07] <Flare183> !xubuntu | Linera
[23:08] <Linera> i'm already on ubuntu
[23:08] <mMezquitale> Linera, xfce=xubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntustudio = all ubuntu based
[23:08] <Alan502> Linera, try sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:08] <aperson> !hi | ago_
[23:08] <Linera> I'm actually on the laptop that is running linux
[23:08] <Alan502> Linera, if you don't want to reinstall the whole ubuntu you can just "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[23:09] <mMezquitale> Linera, like Alan502 said, install xubuntu-desktop, you can install it from within ubuntu
[23:09] <Linera> and that does what?
[23:09] <Alan502> Linera, that will download and install packages to "tweak" your ubuntu for a low ram
[23:09] <geirha> looter: That looks good, though I'd replace /usr/local with /opt throughout that guide, except for the script, which you can put in /usr/local/bin
[23:09] <bazhang> Linera, how much ram
[23:09] <shell> subito: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/art-imaging-linux/58248-pdf-tiff-any-other-image-type.html
[23:09] <Linera> i dunno
[23:09] <Linera> i know its under 1gb
[23:09] <Alan502> Linera, you will get a computer with poor effects, but it will run fast enough
[23:10] <looter> geirha, I will try that thank you for your insight on as to why i was having permission problems
[23:10] <Alan502> Linera, alt+f2 gnome-terminal
[23:10] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: still here?
[23:10] <Dougdoug4> Alan502 it shows me ubuntu
[23:10] <Linera> but since its no longer windows i can't see how much ram it has
[23:10] <Dougdoug4> or sebsebseb
[23:10] <Dougdoug4> whowever asked me
[23:10] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: ok
[23:10] <bazhang> Linera, then xubuntu may not make a difference; I would try lubuntu-desktop if you are on Karmic
[23:10] <Dougdoug4> it shows 'Ubuntu' under installed programs list
[23:10] <Flare183> Linera: run cat /proc/meminfo and pastebin the output
[23:10] <Alan502> Linera, then write sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:10] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: Do you have any data in that Wubi install that you want to get hold of or not?
[23:10] <geirha> looter: At which point did you get permission problems?
[23:10]  * Flare183 shuts up for he wont' confuse the user.
[23:10] <Flare183> won't*
[23:10] <Dougdoug4> errr, sebsebseb, yes
[23:10] <Dougdoug4> a couple music files and video files
[23:11] <Linera> flare where is run?
[23:11] <looter> geirha, after i created the shortcut on the desktop...
[23:11] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: hmm
[23:11] <Flare183> Linera: In the terminal
[23:11] <subito> shell: that doesn't help me strip the image :(
[23:11] <dragon> !who Linera
[23:11] <subito> the images*
[23:11] <matts45acp> can someone help me? ndiswrapper says the driver is installed but no hardware preent
[23:11] <dragon> !who > Linera
[23:11] <Dougdoug4> Linear: Applications > Accessories > Terminal > type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:11] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: I am not sure how you would gain access to that, if Wubi won't boot up like normal
[23:11] <Ziber> !who
[23:11] <Dougdoug4> well i guess it's not important
[23:11] <Kappa> Anyone know a good reason why HD video in flash is so bad under linux?
[23:11] <Dougdoug4> so sebsebseb what are you saying i should do?
[23:11] <Nicekiwi9> switch10_:  w00p w00p xD it works now yay
[23:12] <aperson> Kappa, flash is closed source
[23:12] <Linera> terminal?
[23:12] <geirha> looter: The script need to be made executable. That is likely the cause of the permission problem. ''sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/name-of-script'' will make it executable
[23:12] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: well ideally it is probably best for you to get rid of Wubi, and do a real proper partitioned dual boot
[23:12] <Linera> I don't see a run
[23:12] <Dougdoug4> ..well ok
[23:12] <Linera> well I'm lost
[23:13] <aperson> sebsebseb, one can mount the image wubi created and restore files from it
[23:13] <bazhang> Linera, you dont type run
[23:13] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: there may be a way for you to get hold of those files, but I don't know enough about Wubi, to know
[23:13] <sebsebseb> aperson: ah yes that
[23:13] <looter> geirha, so should i try it again using /usr/local for the program files or should i just stick them in /opt what do you think?
[23:13] <sebsebseb> aperson: I read something like that before  or whatever, ok you know how Dougdoug4 would be able to do that?
[23:13] <matts45acp> can someone help me? ndiswrapper says the driver is installed but no hardware preent
[23:13] <DaveS> Is there a way to pipe all data from a tcp port into a file?
[23:13] <mMezquitale> Linera,open up a "terminal", should be along with the rest of your applications, mine is with "Accesories"
[23:13] <Linera> ok that quit/enter messages are becoming annoying
[23:13] <Kappa> I was thinking a driver or composting issue I did update to the latest drivers for my video card.
[23:14] <aperson> sebsebseb, looking it up now, I had to help someone else with it, all it is though, is mount
[23:14] <bazhang> Linera, what chat client
[23:14] <geirha> looter: It will work just as well in /usr/local as /opt. The only difference is that putting it in /opt would be more "correct" in regards to the standard. Though either way will work just as well, and you won't mess anything up either way.

[23:14] <sebsebseb> Dougdoug4: Wubi installs can be converted into real partitions,  but probably best for you to do it the normal way  from a CD
[23:14] <aperson> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037874 , ahh, found it
[23:15] <Hans_Henrik> i just tried installing Ubuntu on my brand new laptop (Core i7), used AMD64 cus i want 64-bit, and the installer was UBBER SLOW, and after a while just "hangs" with a completely blank "error screen" (i see the text "error", but else its completely blank). i tried with i386, and it worked just fine :s  (i7 is 64-bit)
[23:15] <Hans_Henrik> i just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, and when everything installed and worked fine, it wouldn't let me connect to the WLAN, it could see all WLAN's around, but it just stopped on "connecting", untill it gave up. (connection strength good, i can connect fine with win7)  - ideas how i can get my ubuntu to connect? (im on win7 now and gotta restart for everything i should try to attempt.)

[23:19] <TheJeffsta> :'(
[23:19] <shell> subito: ohh, you want to strip the images from a pdf and save them as .tiff?
[23:19] <ctmjr> digitalaxis: type "man tar" without the "" in a terminal and read that
[23:19] <sebsebseb> burzki: yep that's the way to do it, or don't dual boot with Windows :)
[23:19] <dragon> Linera: In Pidgin, there's a way to enable plugins. There's a plugin called "Hide extraneous join/part" something.
[23:19] <Linera> I'm completly lost. grats

[23:20] <bazhang> at any rate, Linera with so little ram, you would be better served installing lubuntu-desktop, assuming you are on version 9.10; xubuntu is not that much lighter

[23:24] <Fm_rock> hey
[23:24] <Hans_Henrik> wtf, oh sorry thought this was ubuntu-offtopic xD
[23:24] <sebsebseb> Alan502: also to install programs in Wine,  you should be able to just open up the .exe installer
[23:24] <sebsebseb> !language |  Hans_Henrik
[23:25] <shell> subito: or find a tool that can remove images from the pdf, and convert it to tiff?

[23:25] <TheJeffsta> where is the htdocs/public_html folder in Ubuntu?
[23:25] <sebsebseb> Alan502: and to uninstall them you can open up the uninstaller program from Wine's program files, or wherever it will be

[23:26] <Alan502> sebsebseb, clicking on the exe worked now, thanks
[23:26] <Alan502> sebsebseb, i hadn't noticed i could do such a simple thing, i just did it from the wine menu
[23:26] <Alan502> sebsebseb, thanks :)
[23:26] <subito> subito: i've been told
[23:27] <TheJeffsta> aha, thanks
[23:27] <sebsebseb> Alan502: the hidden .wine folder in Home, is all your Wine stuff by the way, except the program itself
[23:27] <Linera> so much for speeding this laptop anymore
[23:27] <Linera> :(
[23:27] <Alan502> sebsebseb, where are the programs installed then?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> Alan502: so if you move that .wine folder some where else,  and do a new program in Wine, you get a new .wine there
[23:27] <bazhang> Linera, install lubuntu-desktop as I have been suggesting
[23:27] <orbisvicis> anyone know which polkit policy synaptic/gksu uses to run as root ?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> Alan502: the programs are installed in .wine
[23:27] <shell> subito: yes?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> Alan502: the icons in the menu aren't though
[23:27] <Linera> I'm already on ubuntu
[23:28] <bazhang> Linera, right. I know.
[23:28] <Linera> I asked how to tweak it for performance
[23:28] <Madfreak> @dragon: i got this error: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[23:28] <Madfreak>   wine: Depends: wine1.2 but it is not going to be installed

[23:28] <lumines> t0rc, *hits head on desk* sometimes it's the simplest things.... thanks
[23:28] <sebsebseb> Alan502: icons will be in .config or .local
[23:28] <bazhang> Linera, with so little ram no real way
[23:28] <Linera> why would i ever want to reinstall the same os
[23:28] <t0rc> Linera, run command line only.
[23:28] <rapha> help! how to get wacom tablet working under 9.10?
[23:28] <bazhang> Linera, its not the same, its a different DE
[23:28] <t0rc> lumines, heh, no worries. We all know from experience ;)
[23:28] <subito> shell: and i've just tested and it seems to work well :D
[23:28] <dragon> Is there a way to set the order in which services are invoked at startup?
[23:29] <sebsebseb> Alan502: and knowing about the hidden .folders in Home, is basics.
[23:29] <Alan502> sebsebseb, ok, i'll look at those directories if i need something. Thanks
[23:29] <dragon> Is there a way to set the order in which services are invoked at startup? My apache tries to start before tomcat and hence dies.
[23:29] <ardchoille> Linera: lubuntu-desktop is a msaller desktop environment that uses less resources for older machines
[23:29] <Linera> de?
[23:29] <dragon> sorry for that partial repeat.
[23:29] <bazhang> Linera, Desktop Environment = DE
[23:29] <Alan502> sebsebseb, knew about those hidden folders, not exactly how wine organized them tho
[23:29] <Linera> I'm on a intel p4
[23:29] <dragon> !who > Linera
[23:29] <Linera> an*
[23:29] <sebsebseb> Alan502: Wine basically puts a fake Windows install in .wine
[23:29] <dragon> !enter > Linera
[23:29] <sebsebseb> Alan502: well a kind of Windows install I should say
[23:30] <lokpest> filesystems for a eeepc with ssd? Ext2 or Ext4?
[23:30] <lokpest> journaling or not?
[23:30] <bazhang> Linera, well, that is the tweak. Good Luck.
[23:30] <Linera> I'm lost :(

[23:30] <Alan502> what are the advantages of using fat32 over ntfs in linux by the way?
[23:30] <bazhang> epinky, he/she has been told that many times.
[23:30] <kp-vs-ks> just install wireless and find only WEP works
[23:30] <sebsebseb> Alan502: have a look in .wine and things will make sense I guess :)
[23:30] <sebsebseb> Alan502: no need to use Fat32 with a Linux distro anymore
[23:30] <t0rc> Linera, use command line only. or install a different DE like everyone has been suggesting. Xubuntu may be an option.
[23:31] <presid3nt> whats a good distribution for table pcs?
[23:31] <sebsebseb> Alan502: also Ubuntu since 7.10 (October 2007) has had proper read and write NTFS support
[23:31] <Linera> I'm lost
[23:31] <Alan502> sebsebseb, so ntfs will work just as if it was fat32 in linux?
[23:31] <bazhang> Linera, please stop repeating that.
[23:31] <presid3nt> go walk a round
[23:31] <Alan502> sebsebseb, not even a faster response time?
[23:31] <ardchoille> Linera: would you like me to walk you through it in PM?
[23:31] <Linera> thx for 100000 different answers
[23:31] <LizardK|ng> my new ubuntu install is working good now
[23:31] <TheJeffsta> is there an easier way to give permission to a directory to be accessed within the /var/www directory without having to chmod every single one you need?
[23:31] <kiren> Alan502, long ago NTFS support was read only in linux, but its no longer the case
[23:32] <sebsebseb> Alan502: NTFS is better than Fat32.  you might buy a USB stick  or something that is using Fat32, but that's ok
[23:32] <sebsebseb> Alan502: Fat32 opens up on nearly any OS these days, but I guess that's also the case for NTFS.
[23:32] <bazhang> Linera, there were two options given; xubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop , both of which you have not tried.
[23:32] <bazhang> Linera, there were not 10,000 options given.
[23:32] <Alan502> sebsebseb, i think i'll keep ntfs then. Thanks.
[23:33] <sebsebseb> Alan502: uhmm NTFS for what?
[23:33] <Alan502> sebsebseb, i have a windows/kubuntu double boot, so ntfs is still useful
[23:34] <sebsebseb> Alan502: you can read and write to your Windows partition from Ubuntu that's alright,  I don't recommend doing it the other way around though, Windows read or writing to Ubuntu
[23:34] <Alan502> sebsebseb, thanks for your advice :)
[23:34] <nomasteryoda> doing it from windows will kill your data
[23:34] <nomasteryoda> i know first hand
[23:34] <sebsebseb> Alan502: oh yeah and as long as Windows was shut down properly, then you should be able to access the partition  from Ubuntu no problem, and if it wasn't shut down properly you might get an issue
[23:35] <sebsebseb> Alan502: in fact that's a thing right there with NTFS
[23:35] <Alan502> sebsebseb, which one?
[23:35] <sebsebseb> Alan502: it needs to be shut down properly, or Ubuntu or other Linux distros even,  may bump into an issue when trying to mount/use it
[23:35] <mrselfpwn> Alan502: then use ntfsfix to fix it.
[23:35] <mrselfpwn> from linux.
[23:36] <sebsebseb> mrselfpwn: that's the force NTFS to mount thing?
[23:36] <Alan502> sebsebseb, nah, the only reason why i still have windows installed is because i play sometimes
[23:36] <mrselfpwn> sebsebseb: no it fixes ntfs joural
[23:36] <Linera> :/
[23:37] <sebsebseb> Alan502: play what?  those games might work in Wine and well when you just install there, or after a bit of configuring,  also maybe a virtual machine, depending on computer
[23:37] <Linera> :-/
[23:37] <bazhang> Linera, please stop that.
[23:37] <gmarquezWRS> anyone seen warthog9 ?
[23:37] <rapha> Bookman: already found that page, yes, and also created an xorg.conf (there is none by default under 9.10) - but nothing changed - the table gets recognized by the wacdump tool but not by X
[23:37] <Alan502> sebsebseb, i usually play games that require all my resources, such as call of duty mw 2
[23:37] <sebsebseb> alankila: A lot of people have an idea that Desktop Linux sucks for gaming, but there are actsaully quite a lot of good native games for it :)
[23:37] <Alan502> sebsebseb, those games don't even run on wine or a virtual machine
[23:38] <sebsebseb> alankila: wrong one
[23:38] <plustax> plustax> hey guys. I'm getting an error when I try to import an mp3 to add to my video

 Can anyone help me out?
[23:38] <sebsebseb> Alan502: see above
[23:38] <Alan502> i never said linux sucks for gaming, sebsebseb
[23:38] <Alan502> sebsebseb, i also play urban terror and frets on fire :)
[23:38] <sebsebseb> Alan502: I know, well I am just saying :)
[23:38] <Alan502> sebsebseb, but graphics suck! and they don't evey have an arcade mode
[23:38] <mrselfpwn> here is an awesom phythong program I use to get games.  It keeps them all in one place and can add and remove libs as needed; http://en.djl-linux.org/
[23:38] <tenach> pythong!
[23:39] <mrselfpwn> yes
[23:39] <Bookman> rapha, did you follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967147

[23:39] <dragon> !ot | Alan502
[23:39] <plustax> can anyone help me with my issue?
[23:39] <Alan502> thanks dragon
[23:39] <sebsebseb> Alan502: there's at least one game from the repo, with rather impressive OpenGL  3D graphics, but this is off topic now
[23:40] <mrselfpwn> plustax: what issue?
[23:40] <plustax> plustax> hey guys. I'm getting an error when I try to import an mp3 to add to my video

[23:40] <plustax> I've added mp3 before but for some reason it isn't working now.
[23:40] <sebsebseb> Alan502: Did you just send a notice to the whole channel?
[23:41] <LjL> sebsebseb: no, he didn't
[23:41] <Alan502> sebsebseb, it was just for you
[23:41] <mrselfpwn> plustax: i haven't used that program
[23:41] <__pyrus__> what theme have you got there puls?
[23:41] <plustax> hm
[23:41] <sebsebseb> Alan502: oh right not sure how you did that,  I was wondering though why it said notice
[23:41] <plustax> slick black
[23:42] <plustax> with custom mods
[23:42] <TheJeffsta> im having trouble getting apache to parse php, browser keeps asking me if I want to download the php files
[23:42] <plustax> 6 desktops each with different wallpapers
[23:42] <sebsebseb> Alan502: as for which game it is, I can't remember, you can look through Synaptic a good look through, and find out what games are available, plus their are other games you can install that aren't in the repo
[23:42] <Linera> well, I dunno what to do
[23:42] <__pyrus__> thanks
[23:42] <Alan502> sebsebseb, ok i'll google for "high graphic games for linux"
[23:43] <__pyrus__> nice mods.
[23:43] <mrselfpwn> Alan502: http://en.djl-linux.org/  try that
[23:43] <Madfreak> can I please have help with installing wine on ubuntu 9.10
[23:43] <rapha> Bookman: I've read that thread, too, yes - no dice. Probably my problem has to do with using as serial-to-usb adapter
[23:43] <sebsebseb> Alan502: well maybe not really high graphics or whatever, but the graphics in the game I am thinking of, are still pretty impressive really
[23:43] <ardchoille> !wine | Madfreak have  you already seen this?
[23:44] <__pyrus__> can you be more specific mad
[23:44] <Bookman> rapha, been there before with a barcode scanner!
[23:44] <Alan502> sebsebseb, i would just like to know which game was it!
[23:44] <mrselfpwn> Alan502: there are plenty of high graphics free games for Ubuntu, Dungeons and Dragons  online is free now.  Savage 2 is an awesome free game.
[23:44] <dragon> Madfreak: Please pastebin your attempt to install it and the error messages. No one can help otherwise.
[23:45] <rapha> Bookman: also though a serial-to-usb converter?
[23:45] <Darkwell> hello
[23:45] <kitty_> ok... where should i go to find errors generated by my network?
[23:45] <Bookman> rapha, yes, as well as a thermal Point Of Sale printer.
[23:45] <dragon> kitty_: what kid of errors?
[23:45] <dragon> s/kid/kind
[23:46] <Bookman> rapha, it was quite some time ago.
[23:46] <Darkwell> does the latest downloadable ubunti liveCD support XTS and luks ?
[23:46] <djura-san> how to disable installing of certain packages in all package managers and related apps in xubuntu? im using xubuntu and i have to install firefox since that option is automatic (apt-get upgrade). Im not using firefox from ubuntu repos so i dont wana see firefox packages inmy sys. Pining program is not an option since i dont wana see firefox at all.
[23:46] <djura-san> ?
[23:46] <Darkwell> ubuntu even =)
[23:46] <kitty_> any kind, before i was using a custom script for my firewall/software router, but i tried kmyfirewall and i can't get any errors out of it
[23:46] <rapha> Bookman: so if you could get them to work that's at least a bit of a reassurance I can make this tablet work also :-)
[23:46] <sebsebseb> Alan502: one of the classic games,  that has been made 3D and that.  got a ball  and you like bounce it on the thing into a thing with loads of bits or whatever it is, and the bits start to disappear,  and then you get no bits left, and you go on the next level. Or you lose all your balls and game over.
[23:47] <Alan502> mrselfpwn, which genres are these? is there any good rts?
[23:47] <Bookman> rapha, Yes, I sure did.  I'm just looking for my notes.....
[23:47] <ravigehlot> I am not sure what may be going on but not even within 3 seconds of no touching the keyboard/mouse...the screen on my laptop automatically dims down...any clues?
[23:47] <Alan502> sebsebseb, yeah i remember playing that one :)
[23:47] <sebsebseb> Alan502: and the 3D game has a kind of water effect basicalley
[23:48] <switch10_> ravigehlot: go to power management settings
[23:48] <Darkwell> im thankful of someone knows
[23:48] <sebsebseb> !games | Alan502
[23:48] <Linera> I guess those of us who don't know linux already are just screwed. :(
[23:48] <ravigehlot> switch10: will look into that now
[23:48] <switch10_> ravigehlot: uncheck the dim my screen box
[23:48] <ravigehlot> switch10: oh okay, let me see
[23:49] <kitty_> dragon: any kind, before i was using a custom script for my firewall/software router, but i tried kmyfirewall and i can't get any errors out of it
[23:49] <ctmjr> Linera: everyone in this room at one time knew nothing about linux
[23:49] <switch10_> ravigehlot: or dim display when idle. rather
[23:49] <soopos> Do you see any mistake in the Makefile -file http://paste.pocoo.org/show/157978/ ?
[23:49] <ravigehlot> switch10: its unchecked
[23:49] <djura-san> please can someone give me any anwser?
[23:49] <ravigehlot> switch10: it has been unchecked so that is not the problem.
[23:50] <PrototypeX29A> ctmjr: yeah, but i think there is a lot of stuff, one has to learn the hard way
[23:50] <soopos> * http://paste.pocoo.org/show/157979/

[23:50] <Linera> when you get 100,000 different answers for 1 question its impossible to learn anything
[23:50] <MrKeuner> hello, I have installed my parents laptop som version of Ubuntu I really do not remember. I have ssh access to that machine, 1- how can I see what version it runs? 2- What is a good upgrade procedure(to Karmic from whatever version it is)
[23:50] <switch10_> ravigehlot: hmm.  not sure than.  Im sure someone here can help.  maybe ask again...
[23:51] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: depends on the version, if it is a good idea to attempt upgrading to Karmic or not, at this time
[23:51] <sebsebseb> !version |  MrKeuner
[23:51] <dragon> Linera: what's your question?
[23:51] <ravigehlot> switch10: I unchecked it for Battery settings and it seems to have fixed the problem. Somehow, it thinks that it is running on battery instead.
[23:51] <Darkwell> Linera, JSUT PICK ONE THAT CNVERGES WITH YOUR OWN MIND AND THEN GO FOR THAT ANSWER
[23:51] <Darkwell> freedom of choice =)
[23:51] <dragon> Linera: it's not impossible, but a little overwhelming.
[23:51] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: oh yeah and 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade might go wrong
[23:51] <switch10_> ravigehlot: sweet
[23:51] <MrKeuner> sebsebseb, it is 8.10
[23:51] <dragon> !shout | Darkwell
[23:51] <ravigehlot> switch10: thanks
[23:51] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: ok
[23:51] <switch10_> sure
[23:52] <Linera> I'm new to linux. I'm running linux Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop with low ram. How can I tweak the os to run on the bare basics?
[23:52] <djura-san> how to disable installing of certain packages in all package managers and related apps in xubuntu? im using xubuntu and i have to install firefox since that option is automatic (apt-get upgrade). Im not using firefox from ubuntu repos so i dont wana see firefox packages inmy sys. Pining program is not an option since i dont wana see firefox at all.
[23:52] <MrKeuner> sebsebseb,  can I just upgrade to 9.04?
[23:52] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: this is what I suggest then, stay with 8.10 for now,  come over and do a clean install when 10.04 comes out, that's released at the end of Aprl
[23:52] <Darkwell> instead of having one answer : "please insert coin before answer" "thank you for pying, we have only one way you can do it, and its not the way you thought of it"
[23:52] <switch10_> Linera: u should try xubuntu
[23:52] <PrototypeX29A> Linera: what are the bare basic?
[23:52] <PrototypeX29A> +s
[23:52] <t0rc> Linera, what are you pssing about?
[23:52] <Linera> I'm on ubuntu
[23:52] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: well before a lot of people upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and got issues
[23:52] <bazhang> Linera, as suggested before, xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop packages.
[23:53] <MrKeuner> sebsebseb, all right, thank you for your suggestion. I'll stay with 8.10
[23:53] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: also a lot of us have decided that we would rather run 9.04 for now instead of 9.10.
[23:53] <dragon> Linera: imho you're too new to Linux to tweak the OS. Simply install a package called lubuntu-desktop and it will consume little RAM thereafter.
[23:53] <bsmith093> what is lubuntu
[23:53] <switch10_> Linera: there is another distribution of Ubuntu called xubuntu.  It is made to run on older hardware
[23:53] <bazhang> bsmith093, lxde
[23:53] <AfroMan> hello. I want to install Ubuntu and I have a intel cpu that supports 64 bit. shall I go for 64 version or 32?
[23:53] <djura-san> bsmith093, lxde on ubuntu
[23:53] <dragon> !info lubuntu-desktop | bsmith093
[23:53] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: and there is little advantage gained from doing an 8.10 to 9.04 upgrade really
[23:53] <t0rc> Linera, multiple people have already given you solutions. lubuntu package, xubuntu package, use TTY only. Look through your start-up applications and remove the ones you don't need running.
[23:53] <hal9000> xubuntu rocks on my older cpu
[23:54] <MrKeuner> sebsebseb, I was very unhappy when I installed Karmic when it was released a month ago, but now it looks like the troubles are debugged
[23:54] <t0rc> MrKeuner, some are, some aren't.
[23:54] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: 8.10 runs out of support when 10.04 comes out, or around then
[23:54] <switch10_> hal9000: me too :)
[23:54] <PrototypeX29A> MrKeuner: i still have problems
[23:54] <bsmith093> major sound issues in marmic
[23:54] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: 8.10 is still my favourite release over all since 8.04
[23:54] <PrototypeX29A> i don't know whether they are karmic specific
[23:55] <cece> is there any relationship between mouse and python ? seriously
[23:55] <hal9000> thats right switch, i am enjoying it every day
[23:55] <dragon> Jaunty's graphics regressions made things hard.
[23:55] <switch10_> sebsebseb: it used to be mine, but i just upgraded to 9.10 and it is awesome
[23:55] <TheJeffsta> anyone have any experience with quake games and ubuntu?
[23:55] <dragon> cece: is that question related to Ubuntu? seriously
[23:55] <cece> dragon: of course
[23:55] <hal9000> fast, stable and sexy
[23:56] <t0rc> Mice are eaten by pythons.
[23:56] <dragon> t0rc: +1
[23:56] <Darkwell> i wonder if  there is support for XTS and luks in the ubuntu liveCD ... i got anser it seems toe xist for an installCD bit i need it for a liveCD
[23:56] <sebsebseb> MrKeuner: to make sure you get Ext4 and Grub 2 without issues,  clean install 10.04 when it comes out,  plus that then saves you upgrading through releases where things might also go wrong when doing upgrade.  I mean for example something might get left behind that is no longer needed, that then causes an issue in the future.   Normalley upgrades go well.  Plus easier to just install with Ext4 for example than try and convert Ext3 to Ext4 etc.
[23:56] <PrototypeX29A> t0rc: true, i wouldn't bet much on the mouse
[23:56] <n0pe> hi, does ubuntu come with anything that can monitor an LSI SAS Megaraid adapter?  or just dump the array info to stdout?
[23:56] <cece> dragon: i am using 9.10 with openbox, in the autostart script i write 'killall python' by mistake,and then i lost my mouse
[23:57] <t0rc> The mouse was in the python. And you killed it. ;-)
[23:57] <sebsebseb> switch10_: uhmm?
[23:57] <Linera> I've been told 100,000 different things. so I'm completely lost.
[23:57] <masshuu> i want to do somthing simular to the towel.blinkenlights.nl, were i assume the connection is run to an application instead of a login prompt then a bash window, ive partally gotten there so when i log into a certian user, it goes straight to the app, but i was looking to un somthing like a second sshd on another port and have all incoming connections ruin the app
[23:58] <dragon> cece: try running the following as root: `/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/system-service/system-service-d`
[23:58] <PrototypeX29A> t0rc: was it still alive then?
[23:58] <AfroMan> hello. I want to install Ubuntu and I have a intel cpu that supports 64 bit. shall I go for 64 version or 32?
[23:58] <sebsebseb> switch10_: what used to be yours or whatever, why did I get messaged?
[23:58] <dragon> !attitude | Linera
[23:58] <t0rc> Linera, well then, I'd stop complaining. Multiple people have simplified it for you.
[23:58] <switch10_> sebsebseb: i was referring to your comment about how 8.10 was your favorite
[23:58] <djustice> dragon: who's idea was that crap? core system utilities/configurator shouls be C. or c++ at least. meh.
[23:59] <PrototypeX29A> AfroMan: i guess, if you have more than 4GB of ram you should definitely go for 64bit
[23:59] <dragon> Is there a way to set the order in which services are invoked at startup? My apache tries to start before tomcat and hence dies.
[23:59] <jvasile> I am attempting to enable multicast in pulseaudio, but the option to enable multicast sender is greyed out in the device chooser.  How can I enable it?
[23:59] <sebsebseb> switch10_: favourite overall and with good reasons,  even though it lacks Ext4, which really does speed, boot up, shut down, and the automatic disk checking after 23 or so boots in 9.04.  However it's also not perfectly stable their since the kernel they have and such.
[23:59] <djustice> dragon: read up on debian's runlevel system.
[23:59] <t0rc> PrototypeX29A, it might've been for a little while but I believe the poor thing suffocated. :(
[23:59] <dragon> djustice: What you see is probably a wrapper. Core services of course don't run entirely in python.
[23:59] <sebsebseb> switch10_: oh yeah and ethernet woudn't work on the other computer in 8.10, but still my favourite over all
